Episode 78 - "The Curse"

We begin with a room full of ancient artifacts. An older man pick up a
statue, looks at it, and then writes something down.

MAN: (To older gentleman) Doctor Jordan?

DR JORDAN: (Startled) Steven!

STEVEN: (A real hunk, gang! OK! I got that out, I'll behave.) What are you
doing here so late?

DR. JORDAN: Actually, (Looks at watch) I was just about to go down to the
lab. We finally have a chance to do a resonance scan on the osiris jar.

STEVEN: Great! Great! (Sounding LESS than enthusiastic)

DR. JORDAN: Another couple of weeks, and we never would have known what was
inside.

STEVEN: Well, we could always break the seal, and take a look. (Jordan looks
@ him) Joking. Well, half joking.

DR. JORDAN: The Egyptian government expects these items returned intact. If
we were in their place, I'm sure that we ---

STEVEN: Sir, you watch. The scan will reveal that that unopened jar contains
the mummified heart of a 3000 year old pharaoh, and we will have to just
hand it over.

DR. JORDAN: I know. I know.

STEVEN: It's the find of a life time , Professor.

DR: JORDAN: Yes, yes it is. Hmn. You coming?

STEVEN: Yes, I just have a few things --- I'll see ya down there.

DR. JORDAN: All right , then.

Steven picks up a golden emblem, and looks at it.

DANNY: (Walking into the briefing room) Morning.

JACK: Hey.

DANNY: What's that?

JACK: (Showing him the tabloid paper he's reading) It's --- Um --- Teal'C's
into this stuff. I don't get it. A great week is in store for you --- (Danny
looks at a story, and does a double take) You're gone on a trip ---

DANNY: Let me see that. (He takes the paper)

JACK: (Looks at Danny) O-Kay! (Looks @ his empty hands)

DANNY: Oh, my God!

JACK: What?

DANNY: He's dead!

JACK: Who?

DANNY: My Archeology Professor.

Goes to headline with pic of Dr. Jordan. Headline reads Noted Archaeologist
Dies In Lab Explosion.

OPENING CREDITS!

Shot goes to a funeral.

STEVEN: (While Steven is giving his speech, Danny is seen walking slowly
across the screen in the back of the gathered people.) Doctor David Jordan
was a teacher, a celebrated author, a much revered expert in the field of
Archaeology, and yet, to the end, he remained first and foremost, a student,
guided by the simple desire to discover, and understand. It's fitting, then,
that a man, who dedicated his life --- (He pauses when he sees Danny) Who
dedicated his life to reviving the wonders and majesty of long-dead
civilizations, should himself gain a measure of immortality thru that very
accomplishment. I worked with Doctor Jordan for close to 15 years. He was
like a father to me. Thru his many successes , and (Looking RIGHT at DANNY!)
Some of his --- bitter disappointments. (Danny looks @ Steven) I'll remember
him always as a dedicated Archaeologist, a kind, and generous man, and a
true friend. (Looks @ Danny, and walks away) (Danny walks up to the casket.)
The prodigal son returns!

DANNY: Steven? (A very attractive blond woman turns around) Sarah.

SARAH: (An English accent) Daniel. It's good to see you.

DANNY: Yeah. (She hugs him) Despite the circumstances.

SARAH: I know. I can't believe he's gone. (Her hand lingers on his waist.
Grab that butt, girlfriend. You know you want to. She grabs his hand. <g> I
would have coped a feel)

DANNY: So, what exactly happened? I mean --- uh --- the paper I read
attributed his death to the curse of Osiris.

STEVEN: According to the police, (sighs) There was a slow gas leak in the
lab, and something must have caused a spark, the whole place went up, he was
killed instantly.

SARAH: We would have called you, but , nobody knew where to find you.

DANNY: That's --- uh --- that's OK.

SARAH: I'm glad you're here. So, how long has it been? 4 years?

DANNY: 5.

STEVEN: What have you been up to?

DANNY: Uh --- I've been busy.

SARAH: Really? I've looked for signs of you out on the fringes. There's been
no papers, no research projects. It's like you fell of the face of the
earth.

DANNY: Yeah, it is a little like that, isn't it?

STEVEN: (Sarcastically) As I recall, the last time I saw you, you were
giving a lecture to an empty room.

DANNY: Uh --- Well, it was full when I started.

STEVEN: Well, maybe the world wasn't ready to hear that the pyramids were
built by Aliens --- or was it men from Atlantis?

SARAH: Steven, please!

DANNY: Yes, Steven. Please.

STEVEN: Why did you come? You manage to stay away all this time. If you're
looking for closure, Daniel, I'd say you're a little late.

DANNY: All ways a pleasure, Steven! (Steven leaves, to Sarah) So, are you
doing anything, or ---

SARAH: No, I'm all yours. I'm sorry. He's not usually like this. Last couple
of days have been really hard on him. (Takes her hair down)

DANNY: Steven? No, he's right. I should have come back sooner. I guess I was
afraid I wouldn't be welcome.

SARAH: Are you joking? Even after everything that happened, Dr. Jordan never
thought any less of you. You were his best student.

DANNY: Yes, that became the laughing stock of the Archeological community.

SARAH: He kept hoping that you'd find proof. Something to shut everyone up.

DANNY: No, he thought I was nuts.

SARAH: (Laughs) That's not true. Look, why do you think it's so hard for
Steven to see you here? He's always been in your shadow. Even after you
left.

DANNY: I hear his book's on the best seller's list.

SARAH: (Laughs) I know. He's --- getting a Porsche.

DANNY: OWW!

SARAH: I know. (They both laugh) Look, I have to admit. I thought you didn't
come back because of me.

DANNY: (Just noticed, he's wearing a yummy blue shirt with a tie. <sigh>
Makes the blue eyes seem bluer!) No. No, that's not it.

SARAH: We could have ended it better than we did.

DANNY: Maybe. The truth is, I got caught up in something --- incredible.

SARAH: You found something, didn't you? Something that supports your theory?
Tell me. (He looks down) Come on.

DANNY: I can't.

SARAH: (In a very cute accent) <g> Daniel!

DANNY: OK. Let's just say--- that what the world knows about Ancient Egypt
just barely touches the surface. The truth is more incredible than any of us
ever imagined.

SARAH: Now, that's the Daniel I remember. (Hold out hand) Come on, I want to
show you something. (He grabs it, lucky girl!<g>)

GH walks into the briefing room.

GH: As you were.

JACK: So, General. Who's getting assigned to SG-1?

GH: No one. I've decided to reschedule your next mission until Dr. Jackson
returns. You're all long over due for some personal leave. (Sam looks at
Jack, then next to her @ Teal'C, smiles @ him, and he appears to smile back
@ her.)

JACK: Yes, Sir. But the LEAVING part has been a little problem.

GH: Oh, I think you'll make it to the front door before we realize we can't
do without you. Dismissed.

JACK: Thank you, Sir. (Sam looks @ Teal'C, then gets up to leave.) Carter!
(She stops, and he stands up) You finally ready to take me up on that
fishing trip?

SAM: Uh --- actually, Sir, I have a few projects on the go.

JACK: Come on. Are you really trying to tell me you'd rather be in a dark,
dank, dismal underground, than sit on a dock with your feet perched up,
sippin' a cold one, and --- casting for that ever elusive --- crappy?

SAM: (Laughs, and looks down at his body, then up to his eyes) Strange as it
may sound , Sir, yes. (Looks at his body again! <g> Who can really blame
her, right?!) Have a good time. (Glances @ Teal'C)

JACK: (Watching her leave) To each his own! Her! (Quietly and somberly) I
meant her --- (Whispers) I think. (To Teal'C who was watching her leave with
a look on his face) So, Teal'C! (Teal'C was looking away, probably because
he knew Jack would ask him next! <g> Poor Teal'C!) (Claps) This'll be great!
Just you and me. What do you say? Come on! The Loons! Don't forget the
loons! (Have you even seen a Jaffa look scared? I have. He looks downright
frightened! <g>)

SARAH: (Walking into her office) I thought you'd like to see what we were
working on before the accident.

DANNY: WOW! This stuff is incredible!

SARAH: I only wish we had more time with them. The Egyptian government has
made a formal request for their return. We've been desperately trying to
learn as much as we can about them before the deadline.

DANNY: (Reading from a piece of paper) "Woe to all who this, my final
resting place."

SARAH: Careful, now. All these artifacts are cursed. Well, that's what they
say.

DANNY: Yeah, I --- read something like that.

SARAH: Every member of the original expedition in 1931 died within a year of
the dig. Then the ship transporting these artifacts to American sank off the
coast of New Jersey 6 months later.

DANNY: The Steward Expedition.

SARAH: Yes.

DANNY: Those deaths were attributed to mold spores that were released from
the unsealed chamber.

SARAH: Well, mold spores aren't exactly front page material.

DANNY: No, I guess not. Uh --- if these things went down with the ship in
1931, how'd they end up here?

SARAH: Well, they found the wreck a couple of months ago. These artifacts
were still in their packing crates. They brought it up, and shipped it to
the museum. We just got them last week.

DANNY: I can stay for a couple more days if you need help cataloging these.
(She starts frantically looking for something) What?

SARAH: Something's missing.

DANNY: Are you sure?

SARAH: Positive. A gold Amulet. Daniel, I've got to find it.

JACK: Just so we're clear on this, Sir. It's gonna be me, Teal'C, and the
great outdoors (Teal'C and Jack are both dressed in SHORT! LOL!). That means
no cell phones, no FAX machines, not another living soul for miles. We'll be
unavailable, inaccessible.

GH: Incommunicado.

JACK: Minnesota, Sir.

GH: I stand corrected.

JACK: If there's an emergency back at the base, you better plan ahead and
tell me now. (Elevator doors are closing) If Thor needs me, he's gonna
haveta beam me up! If the Tok'Ra, forget it! (Door closes) (GH turns around
smiling)

Shot goes to a museum.

CURATOR: Excuse the state of things. Budget cuts. I'm straightening the mess
out, but these things take time.

DANNY: Oh, I understand.

CURATOR: What am I looking for?

DANNY: An artifact that went missing from the Steward Expedition.

CURADOR: The Isis Jar.

DANNY: Uh --- No, actually, I'm --- uh --- referring to a --- a --- a gold
amulet with a little ebony - uh --- uh --- uh, it's listed as idem 14C. (<g>
That boy does some stuttering, huh?)

CURATOR: That was sent up to Dr. Jordan along with the rest of the
artifacts.

DANNY: Ya sure?

CURATOR: I sent it myself. I can show you the paperwork.

DANNY: No, Uh --- what's this ---uh ---uh ---Isis --- Jar you were talking
about?

CURATOR: I'll show you. The damn crate was mislabeled when it came in. I
only found it a couple days ago.

DANNY: Uh --- this one?

CURATOR: Oh, Yeah, yeah. Never seen those symbols before, have you?

DANNY: Uh, yes. I'm gonna need to do a translation.

CURATOR: Well, if ya need me, I'll be in the back cataloging the Polynesian
death masks.

Sam's working on a Harley Davidson motorcycle when the phone rings. Siler's
helping her.

SAM: Carter.

DANNY: (Over phone) Sam, it's me.

SAM: (Wiping her hands of grease.) Hang on a sec. Thanks for your help,
Sergeant.

SILER: Yeah, no sweat, Major. (Gets up and leaves)

SAM: Where are you?

DANNY: I'm still in Chicago. I'm in the basement of a museum with what
appears to be an Egyptian burial jar ---

SAM: O-KAY?

DANNY: That may not be out of the ordinary in a museum, granted, but there's
something else beside the usual hieroglyphs. There's a 2nd set of markings.
They're Goa'Uld symbols.

Shot goes to water, and someone casting a line into the water. Jack is
sitting in a chair, and Teal'C is standing next to him just looking @ his
line.

TEAL'C: There appears to be no fish here, O'Neill.

JACK: T, it's not about the actual FISH themselves. The fish are not
important in this context, it's about fish-ING! The ACT of fishing.

TEAL'C: (Looking Oh, so HOT in a fishing hat<g>!) I see.

Phone begins ringing. Jack looks up, then around.

JACK: You didn't! (Phone continues ringing)

TEAL'C: By request of General Hammond.

JACK: Go away. (Looks @ Teal'C while he answers phone) WHAT?!?! (Teal'C
slaps a mosquito away) (Sarcastically) Yes, Daniel. He's right here! (Even
MORE sarcastically) Please hold.

TEAL'C: DanielJAckson. We have caught nothing. We are fishing.

DANNY: Right. Um, listen, I need a little help with a translation. I've got
a line her that reads Hako thra terak shree!

TEAL'C: (Slapping away another bug, then looking @ his hand. LOL!) Banished
to oblivion.

DANNY: Right. OK, Uh --- thank you.

TEAL'C: If you require assistance, I would be more than happy to return to
the SGC! (Jack looks up @ him)

DANNY: No, thanks. I think I can take it from here.

TEAL'C: (Looking very disappointed.) (Whispering, kinda begging? LOL!) Are
you certain?

JACK: Gimme that! Goodbye, Daniel!

DANNY: Uh --- no, wait wa ---

Jack hangs up the phone. Teal'C looks disappointed. Jack takes the battery,
and throws it over Teal'C's shoulder. Teal'C watches this with an expression
like, "OH! MY GOD! Darn, no more interruption!" Jack gives him the
phone,Teal'C looks @ the phone, then swats another bug away.

Back to base!

DANNY: During the ritual of mummification, the Ancient Egyptians would
remove the vital organs of the deceased, and place them in jars, which would
then be buried with the sarcophagus so that they could be accessed in the
after life.

GH: Is that what we're looking at here? (Referring to the Isis Jar)

DANNY: That's what I thought at first, but looking at the reports on the
original expedition, no sarcophagus was found. The Hieroglyphs identify the
jar as belonging to Isis, who was the Egyptian Mother Goddess.

SAM: A Goa'Uld?

DANNY: That's possible. See, Isis was a consort of Osiris, supposedly the
first Pharaoh of Egypt. According to legend, he was placed in a magic box,
and dumped into the Nile by his brother SETH. (OH! BOY! ' Member Seth?!)

GH: Now, that name I recognize.

DANNY: The Goa'Uld symbols indicate that Isis and Osiris suffered some sort
of punishment, or --- banishment.

SAM: Where to?

DANNY: I have NO idea.

GH: Major, I want the contents analyzed.

SAM: Yes, Sir.

DANNY: Uh, now I'd be careful if I were you. For all we know, it could be
some sort of Goa'Uld bobby-trap left behind by Osiris as revenge. (Sam nods)
Also, it's --- it's cursed, so ---

SAM: Thanks for the warning.

DANNY: (After Sam leaves) General, there's something else. The inventory of
the steward expedition lists --- 2 jars.

GH: Can you find the other one?

DANNY: Well, I can try. I was gonna head back to Chicago tonight.

Shot goes to Museum in Chicago. Danny opens the door to a dark room.

DANNY: HELLO?!?!? HELLO?!?!?! (Tries the light switch --- nope doesn't
work!) (Finds a flashlight.) (He hears someone passing, and shines light
toward camera) (Hears rustling, turns light to reveal Steven)

STEVEN: Do you mind?!

DANNY: What are you doing here?

STEVEN: What are YOU doing here?

DANNY: I asked first.

STEVEN: I WORK here, Daniel. Remember? I'm looking for the breaker box,
where ever the damn thing is!

DANNY: Uh--- right! Um --- I had a few questions for the curator.

STEVEN: I don't think she's here. The lights were out when I came in. What
did you wanna ask her about?

DANNY: I needed some information about items from the Steward Expedition.
Some items were missing.

STEVEN: There's nothing missing.

DANNY: Uh --- A canapic jar with some hieroglyphs, and some unusual
markings.

STEVEN: The Osiris Jar. (Danny jumps, and shines the light on Steven)

DANNY: Yes.

STEVEN: Destroyed in the explosion.

DANNY: You SURE about that?

STEVEN: (Rather quickly) Yes, positive.

DANNY: OK. Well, what about this gold amulet?

STEVEN: Daniel, if you're looking to get back together with Sarah, that's
your business, I really couldn't care less, but I do have a problem with you
coming here and involving your self in MY work!

DANNY: (Shining the light in Steven's eyes, AGAIN! I think he does that to
piss Steven off<g>.) Don't you mean Doctor Jordan's work?

STEVEN : (I guess the light worked, he sounds pissed!) No! MY work! Sarah
and I were Dr. Jordan's assistants. YOU haven't been involved since you
walked out on him.

DANNY: I didn't walk out on him. I was --- trying to protect him.

STEVEN: You mean you distanced yourself to spare him the embarrassment of
being associated with you. Daniel, you really should not have come back.

DANNY: (Finding the breaker, finally, and turning on the lights) Look, I
don't want to get into this with you right now, but you need my help.

STEVEN: Why? Do you think there might Aliens involved. (Said sarcastically)
(The elevator is lifted to reveal the curator dead.) Oh, God!

SAM: (Running a scan) Preliminary analysis of the jar indicates the exterior
is ordinary ceramic. It also appears as if the seal has been damaged.

GH: Any indication of what might be inside?

SAM: Hopefully, a computer enhanced MRI will tell us something.

GH: Is that what I think it is? (Computer shows a relative of "Junior" in
the Jar --- A Goa'Uld Symbiote.)

SAM: Yes, Sir! That's Goa'Uld Symbiote!

DANNY: (To Sarah) The police said the museum curator suffered a fatal blunt
trauma to the skull.

SARAH: They don't think that you had anyth ---

DANNY: No, they don't think that, but, of course, Steven didn't do anything
to dissuade them from suspecting me, but fortunately, I know a few ---
people. (Raises his eyebrows) Anyway, uh --- they found some bricks at the
bottom of the freight elevator shaft, and they think that --- it came from
the wall above --- and --- she had a freak accident.

SARAH: You know, the papers are saying the Curse of the Mummy strikes again.

DANNY: <Sighs> You have any pictures of the Osiris Jar? The one that was
destroyed in the explosion?

SARAH: Yeah, here.

DANNY: I can't make out the inscription around the collar.

SARAH: We weren't able to identify the symbols, but Dr. Jordan copied them
in his note book. Those markings are unlike anything we've ever seen before.
They're not Egyptian.

DANNY: No, they're not Egyptian.

SARAH: So, what are they?

DANNY: What are they? ---

SARAH: You know! How?

DANNY: Let's just say I can't go into it right now, but this is really
important. Did Dr. Jordan do any kind of preliminary tests on the Jar?

SARAH: Not that I know of, but he kept all his lab results on the computer.

Sam, Janet, and a couple of armed airmen are in the lab. The jar is in an
incubator. Janet removes the symbiote. Sam has the cutest look of disgust on
her face. Sam looks up at the observation room. She looks like she's gonna
throw up.

JANET: It's dead. We can relax. (She cuts it open, and some liquid comes
out, getting a really disgusted look from Sam.) Do we know how long it's
been inside the jar?

SAM: According to Daniel, several thousand years.

JANET: (Looking up @ Sam in surprise) Well, it's perfectly preserved. It
could have died yesterday. (GH looks confused, Sam still has that cute
disgusted look.)

SARAH: Something's wrong.

DANNY: What?

SARAH: Dr. Jordan's files are gone. Everything's been wiped clean! Including
his e-mail account.

DANNY: Do you keep backups? (She's looking thru the floppy disks.)

SARAH: Yeah, they're not here.

DANNY: (She's typing) What are you doing?

SARAH: The system marks file spaces being deleted as "Tombstone". (She
writes re: tombstone above the a, c, and d drives) It scours the database
looking for tombstone values, and marks them as being ready to be
overridden. There's usually a window of about 30 days before that happens,
so we MIGHT (Danny closes his eyes, sleepily<get that boy some coffee!
LOL!>) be able to retrieve the files before the tombstone values replicate
thru the network. Got something! He received one message on the night he
died. Well, I'm guessing he never got around to reading it.

DANNY: That's the carbon dating done on the item 14C.

SARAH: Oh, My God! Daniel! It's over 10,000 years old! This means you were
right all along!

DANNY: Yeah --- I know.

SARAH: Egyptian civilization must be thousands of years older that we've
ever assumed!

DANNY: Sarah --- you can't --- tell anyone about that.

SARAH: What are you talking about?! This is EXACTLY the evidence you've been
looking for! This completely validates your theories!

DANNY: Look, all we've got are the results of one carbon dating on a missing
artifact.

SARAH: So, we can contact the technician who preformed the analysis. (She's
real quite, looking @ the screen with her mouth open)

DANNY: What?

SARAH: Doctor Jordan wasn't the only one to get these results. (The screen
shows next to Dr. Jordan, CC: Dr. Rayner) Steven.

JANET: By all right, the Goa'Uld symbiote should be a dried-up, desiccated
husk, but instead, it's in perfect condition. Now, @ first, we thought it
had been preserved, like a specimen in formaldehyde, but now, we are not so
sure.

GH: What do you mean?

SAM: Well, Sir. The outside of the jar is ceramic.The inside is a
technologically advanced containment vessel. There's a tiny naquata power
source that's designed to emit a low-level electrical charge.

GH: Why?

SAM: Well, we can't be certain yet, Sir, but it looks like the jar is some
sort of stasis chamber.

JANET: From what we've been able to gather, Sir, We think that the symbiote
was ALIVE when it was placed in the jar.

GH: Why would it allow it's self to be removed from it's host, and places in
stasis?

SAM: I don't believe it had a choice, Sir.

JANET: You see, the liquid inside the jar seems to have sedative properties.
If it's maintained at the proper temperatures, if it is provided with
sufficient electrical charge, it could probably keep the symbiote alive
indefinitely.

GH: Then, why is it dead?

SAM: The seal was broken, presumably during transport.

GH: Then, if what you're saying is true, and the second jar survived the
trip unscased ---

SAM: Yes, Sir! There could be a Goa'Uld out there.

SARAH: Daniel? There you are! I've been looking all over for you!

DANNY: Yeah, I'm just doing a little extra research.

SARAH: I stopped by Steven's place, and he's gone. He's packed up everything
and left.

DANNY: I know.

SARAH: You think he stole the amulet, don't you?

DANNY: Yes.

SARAH: To stop your theories from being proven correct?

DANNY: (Sighs) It's possible. Anyway, I have to find him.

SARAH: Well, I'll come with you.

DANNY: No --- No, it's --- too dangerous.

SARAH: We're talking about Steven, here.

DANNY: Sarah, there have been 3 deaths already.

SARAH: 3 ?

DANNY: They found the body of the technician that did the analysis of the
carbon dating.

SARAH: Daniel, I know Steven. He may be capable of a lot of things, but he's
no murderer.

DANNY: Well, you might not know him as well as you think you do --- at
least --- not anymore.

SARAH: What's that supposed to mean?! Oh, let me guess --- you can't
explain, right?!

DANNY: Sarah ---

SARAH: (Yelling, I'm not gonna put all this in caps, though!) Well, what do
you expect, Daniel!? You show up after 5 years, but you can't say where
you've been! You've got this mysterious ability to be able to read this
ancient language nobody's ever seen before, but you can't explain how! Then,
when we finally find the evidence to vindicate you to the entire
archeological community --- you want to cover it up! What is going on?!
<Softly> This is me, Daniel.

DANNY: I know.

SARAH: Then, why can't you trust me? What have you been doing for the past 5
years?

DANNY: I WANT to tell you, Sarah. Believe me, I do. Wish you could see some
of the things I've seen --- But the world is not ready to know --- not yet.

SARAH: I'm not asking you to tell the world --- I'm asking you to tell me.
(He looks really hurt that he can't tell her) This is my life's work, too,
Daniel. (He walks away) So, you're working for the government, what? DANIEL!

DANNY: (Turning to face her with his hands in his pocket --- nice clothes,
BTW<g>) I'm sorry!

SARAH: You're just going to disappear again, aren't you?

DANNY: (Nodding) Yes.

SARAH: I think Steven was right. You never should have come back. (Danny
nods, and leaves)

GH: (Danny has suddenly appeared @ base<g>!) Do you believe this Steven
Rayner has been taken over by a Goa'Uld?

DANNY: It makes since.

SAM: So, how do we find him?

DANNY: Right now, this is our only lead. It's the gold amulet that was
stolen from Dr. Jordan's office. Now, by Earth standards, it's a priceless
relic, but the Goa'Uld isn't interested in it's monetary value, so---

SAM: Then why take it?

DANNY: That's a good question. It's a pretty standard representation of
Osiris. He's carrying a crook and flail, the septers of kingship, and in the
center is an aunk, which represents immortality.

GH: Could it be some sort of Goa'Uld device.

DANNY: It's possible.

SAM: That would explain why it was the only idem taken.

DANNY: Well, I checked the other artifacts for any indication of Naquata,
which is usually a sure sign of Goa'Uld technology, and I came up empty.

GH: Assuming this Goa'Uld is Osiris, what does he want?

DANNY: He's been out of the loop a long time, He doesn't know what happened
to SETH or RA. He could be looking for the Isis Jar.

SAM: Or --- a way off the planet.

GH: I've already put the base on alert.

JANET: I managed to synthesize the liquid from the jar, so on it's own, it
should act as a powerful sedative. One dart should be more than enough to
knock out an adult Goa'Uld.

SAM: Do we REALLY want this thing alive?!

DANNY: Well, even though it's been in stasis for that last several thousand
years, it could still be a valueable source of information.

GH: I want you to hold that option in reserve. Your first priority is to
stop the Goa'Uld with minimum risk to yourselves.

JANET: (Phone rings) Frasier. Yes, He's right here. Sir?

GH: (into phone) Hammond. Yes --- allright, thank you. We got a lead on
Steven Rayner. He boarded a flight to Cairo 4 hours ago.

DANNY: He could be headed back to the temple in Egypt where the jars were
discovered. If we move fast, we could head him off, Sir.

GH: I can alert the Egyptian authorities. This needs to be a low profile
operation. Dr. Frasier will accompany you. (Janet raises her eyebrows)


Next you hear music like out of Ahab the Arab <g>, and see a jeep driving
over the sand. Danny's a very wreckless driver. LOL!

JANET: (Who has her hair down!!!! It's shoulder length, BTW!) I think I know
why this place doesn't get any tourists.

SAM: (Taking off her hat and rubbing her hair. <must be hot there!>)
According to the GPS, we've still got another 10 miles.

Next shot goes to a tomb. Steven is looking around with a flashlight. He's
backing up, and really freaking out from what he sees. He shines the light
on the massive pillars. He reaches an alter. There's a picture of a man and
a woman on the wall. He sees a slot. Digs in his bag, and takes out the
amulet. He places the amulet on the slot. (<gasps> Is that a sarcophagus?!)
<g> He sees a hand ribbon device. (The kind like my lord, Apophis likes to
use!<g>) He picks it up, all wide eyed. He starts to put his fingers thru
it, and you hear the sound that the Goa'Uld make when there eyes glow. He
turns around, gasping.

Danny, Carter and Fraiser finally arrive at the tomb. Sam runs to the
opening, gun up. Danny follows. He arms the dart gun. Sam nods at Janet,
then runs in followed by Janet. Followed closely by Danny. (Nice butt! OK!
I'll behave.) The 3 are walking down the steps shining their lights. They
see a body.

DANNY: It's Steven!

SAM: (Putting her hands on him) I'm not sencing anything. He's not Goa'Uld.

Janet checks Steven, who moans.

DANNY: Steven!

JANET:: He's bleeding internally.

DANNY: Steven, it's me.

STEVEN: Daniel?

DANNY: What happened?

STEVEN: (Sighs) I took the amulet. It's over 10,000 years old. You --- were
right all along. I'm sorry. (In pain) AHHH!

JANET: Just take it easy, OK? I need you to hold still.

DANNY: It's OK! She's a friend. What about the jar?

STEVEN: Huh?

DANNY: The Osiris Jar. Did you open it?

STEVEN: No.

DANNY: Why did you come here?

STEVEN: I figured out the amulet was a key. There's a hidden chamber. I
wanted to make the discovery. (sighs)

JANET: Daniel, we HAVE to get him out of here!

DANNY: Steven, who did this to you?

SARAH / OSIRIS: (Goa'Uld voice, so I guess it's Osiris, huh?) (Eyes a
glow<g>) I DID! (Osiris's voice will be done in caps, OK! I'm not yelling!
He is! <g>)

Sam and Janet jump up, Danny jumps up and points dart gun @ Sarah.

DANNY: Sarah?!

Well, let me eliminate the competion!<g> She takes her hand thingy, and
throws both ladies hard against the wall. Danny shoots the dart, but it
seems to have bounced off the ribbon device. He goes to reload. She (He?<g>)
takes off their hats, and stalks toward Danny . They put their hands on his
neck.

OSIRIS: DANIEL JACKSON! (Danny drops gun. He starts turning red in the
face.) YOU SEEM TO KNOW MUCH OF THE GOA'ULD, MUCH MORE THAN ANY OTHER HUMAN
I HAVE ENCOUNTERED SINCE MY AWAKENING. NOW, TELL ME. WHERE IS THE STARGATE?

DANNY: I don't know what you're talking about. (She forcefully throws him)

OSIRIS: INSOLANCE. (Walks away) THIS TEMPLE WAS ONCE FILLED WITH
WORSHIPPERS.

DANNY: (Sarcastically) Yeah? Well, times have changed.

OSIRIS: SO I HAVE OBSERVED. WHERE IS MY BROTHER, SETESH?

DANNY: Ah, you mean SETH. Uh --- (Sighs) He's dead. Yeah, we killed him.

OSIRIS: YOU LIE!

DANNY: No! No, we also killed RA, and HATHOR, and uh --- who else? Ah,
SOKAR!

OSIRIS: THEN YOU HAVE DONE ME A GREAT FAVOR. I WILL RULE WITH OUT
OPPOSITION.

DANNY: No! No, you won't rule at all, see we don't worship false gods
anymore.

OSIRIS: YOU HAVE COME FAR, IT IS TRUE. BUT YOU ARE STILL WEAK. EVEN THOUGH
YOU ARE TORN BETWEEN YOUR DESIRE TO KILL ME, AND YOUR CONCERN FOR MY HOST,
SHE WHO FREED ME FROM MY LONG SLEEP. WHAT DO YOU KNOW OF MY QUEEN?

DANNY: Um --- She was trapped, like you. We have the jar.

OSIRIS: WHERE IS IT?

DANNY: I'm not gonna tell you.

OSIRIS: YOU ARE MISTAKEN. (She takes the thingy, and puts it to his head.
You know, she had the same expression Amunet had when she was frying his
brain! <g>) (He digs in his pocket for a dart. <I personally think he's
immune to the thing!>) WHERE IS MY QUEEN? (He gets the dart out) TELL ME!
(He uncaps the dart, and sticks it into her body, shutting off the device.)
WHAT IS THIS?! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! (Takes the dart out of his body) YOU
WILL PAY FOR THIS IMPUTENCE! (He opens the thing that looks like a
sarcophegas, and the sand opens up above the tomb.) (Uh-OH! It's a space
ship!) MAKE NO MISTAKE --- OSIRIS WILL RETURN, AND THE RIVERS OF EARTH WILL
RUN RED WITH BLOOD!

Osiris presses the top of ribbon device. Sam gets up to stop her. Sam's
still wobby . The ring transporter things come down to beam her up<g> Sam
empty's her magazine into the rings. The bullets bounce off the rings.
Osiris is beamed up

SAM: (Touching Danny's back) You all right?

DANNY: (Out of breath, sarcastically) Oh, yeah! Yeah! I think I'm ---
getting used to that thing! (That's just what I said! <g>)

JANET: Where's Osiris?

SAM: Gone.

DANNY: Steven?

JANET: If we get him out of here right now, I think he'll make it.

DANNY: I guess we'd better --- make up a story to tell him.

The ship flies away -----

Closing credits!

Episode 77 - "Tangent"

We begin at an airport on runway 18. Sam, Jack, Danny, and Major Davis
(smiles<g>) are standing out there .

SAM: Teal'C was ordered to push the envelope. I'm sure he'll be back soon.

JACK: (Looking thru binoculars) Well, that'd be nice.

DANNY: Where else would he go?

JACK: Good point.

A black hummer drives up.

JACK: Well, here we go.

Shot goes to Sam, who stands up straight, it appears she gets @ attention.
Major Davis goes and opens the door for GH. Jack smiles. The car drives away
to reveal an African American 3 star general. (GH appears to have 2 stars!)
Jack straightens up to attention and salutes him. 3 star General salutes
back.

GH: Is there a problem, Colonel?

JACK: No, Sir. Not at all. I'm sure Teal'C just felt he'd take her for a
spin --- Around the world.

GH: Well, while we're waiting, I have someone who'd like to meet your team.

MAJOR DAVIS: Colonel Jack O'Neill, Major Samantha Carter, Doctor Daniel
Jackson, allow me to introduce Lieutenant General Vidrine. (GV From now on!)

GV: Colonel.

JACK: General.

GV: Major.

SAM: General.

GV: Doctor.

DANNY: General.

GV: General Hammond has told me nothing but good things.

JACK: Has he, Sir? (Joking) Well, then I'm sure he's left something out.
(Smiling)

GV: Such as?

JACK: (Loosing the smile very quickly! <g>) (Into Radio) Teal'C? Ya there,
buddy?

TEAL'C: (Over radio) Look immediately to the southwest, O'Neill.

Everyone turns, and sees the death glider swooping down @ a very high speed.
It passes over them making a MAJOR sonic boom. Everyone ducks. It passes
maybe 3 feet above them. Poor Danny's holding his ears.

JACK: WOOO-HOOO-HOOO!

Teal'C's eyes appear to be smiling, as he turns the craft.

GV: WHAT in God's name is THAT?!

DAVIS: THAT, General, is the X-301 intercept.

JACK: Lookin' good, Teal'C. Give us another fly-by, low and slow.

TEAL'C: As you wish.

DAVIS: It's a hybrid craft, Sir, made with a combination of good ol'
American know-how, and 2 Goa'Uld Death Gliders that SG-1 recovered a couple
years ago.

GV: It may be the most impressive aircraft I've ever seen!

SAM: Oh, it's more than that, Sir. Up till now, we haven't had a platform
from which we could launch an attack on a Goa'Uld ship --- now we do.

GV: What makes it fly? (Uh-Oh! He asked SAM something like that! Prepare for
techno-babble mode!)

SAM: (Here we go!) It's difficult to explain, Sir. The power plant doesn't
exert force against gravity so much as take enertia out of the equation.
Even pilots are immune to ordinary G forces. We don't completely understand
the physics ---

GV: Major, I'll just accept the fact that it flies. (Good save, General!
<g>)

SAM: Yes, Sir. (Looks @ someone taller that her to her left, and smiles.
Jack, Danny??)

JACK: (After watching the craft fly overhead again) Oh, it flies, yes, Sir!

OPENING CREDITS!

GV: I always like to get a view of the man in the cockpit. (Teal'C walks up
with helmet in hand ) How does she fly, Son?

TEAL'C: The vehicle preformed within the expected paremiters.

JACK: WOO-HOO! (Everyone looks @ Jack.) Sorry , Sir. (Danny & Sam are seen
grinning in the back of Jack & GV) I couldn't help getting caught up in
Teal'C's enthusiasm.

DAVIS: (Also grinning) Upon completion of a fight-test program, we hope to
deploy the X-301 as an orbital defense craft under your command, Sir.

GV: In all seriousness, (Sarcastically just for Jack) if that's all right
with you, Colonel, (Jack looks at the general, Sam and Danny are smiling to
themselves in the back. Danny raises his eyebrows!)(LOL!), (Back to normal
voice) How effective can a single fighter be against a potential fleet of
Goa'Uld warships?

TEAL'C: That is what these tests endeavor to determine.

GV: Let's find out. What's next?

JACK: I take second seat for an air-to-air live fire test, Sir.

GH: Our SGC control room will serve as Mission Control, Sir.

GV: Light that candle, boys.

JACK: Yes, Sir. (Smiles a VERY BIG smile @ Teal'C)

TEAL'C: Does General Vidrine wish to perform some sort of candle burning
ritual? (He takes EVERYTHING so literally!)

JACK: Yes, that's it, exactly.

Sam and Davis (Major, not Tech.) are sitting @ the control panel.

JACK: (Over radio) Request permission to proceed with weapon's test.

DAVIS: You're a go, Digger 1.

TEAL'C: (in craft) Proceeding to target area.

SAM: (Over radio) Copy that. You're a go for phase 2.

DANNY: That's them?

DAVIS: The X-301 is equipped with stelth technology which normally wouldn't
show up on radar, so we've installed a special transmitter for the test.

SAM: These blims represent the target drones. X-301 is carrying 2 AIM-120A
air-to-air missles.

GV: Major, are you suggesting a slammer missle would be capeable of taking
out a Goa'Uld mother ship?

SAM: If it's armed with a naquada-enhanced warhead, and modified with a
shield frequency modulator , Yes, Sir! (GH Smiles)

TEAL'C: Beginning attack run now.

JACK: (As the craft is climbing @ a higher rate of speed) WOO-HOO-HOO!

SAM: Digger 1, you're going to overshoot!

On the radar screen it says TRACKING FAILURE . The signal has been lost.
Cause unknown.

JACK: (As the craft is STILL shooting upwards) Uh --- Teal'C ? Target's back
that way.

TEAL'C: I am no longer controlling it.

JACK: Excuse me?!

TEAL'C: The craft is no longer accepting input from the controls. The drive
is @ full power.

Cool shot of the plane shooting upwards.

JACK: Flight, I'm declaring an emergency.

TEAL'C: The ejection system has malfunctioned.

JACK: We are NO LONGER in control of the vehicle. I repeat, we have lost
control and can not eject. Please advise.

SAM: Digger 1, Digger1? This is flight. They're not responding.

DAVIS: We're experiencing atmospheric interference.

GV: Major Carter?

SAM: The glider was setting up target drones when it accelerated into a
steep vertical climb. It's off our radar, we're attempting to reaquire ---

DANNY: Are you saying they've gone into orbit?

SAM: I'm saying they're headed straight out into space.

GV: You said the 301 was capable of space flight.

SAM: Yes, Sir, it is, but that wasn't part of the test.

DANNY: Teal'C wouldn't do this intentually. There has to be something wrong.

GH: A malfunction?

SAM: Must be, Sir.

GH: Get me the shuttle action officer @ space command.

SAM: The shuttle won't be able to reach them , Sir, unless we can find some
way to turn them around.

GH: It's all we've got!

DAVIS: We're got NASA's deep-space tracking looking for the glider now. With
the DSP & NORAD data, they should be able to get a hack on it and hopefully
restore communication.

JACK: Uh --- flight, this is Digger 1 --- Cheyenne, we have a problem! <g>
Nothings working back here. (Looks to the side, does a double take, and sees
Earth passing by) Uh --- Teal'C, on our 6, Is that what I think it is?!

TEAL'C: If you think it is Earth, yes.

JACK: It's --- shrinking.

TEAL'C: It's size remains constant, rather, it is we who are moving away @
extreme velocity. These instruments indicate drive shut down. We are no
longer accelerating.

JACK: (Taking off his mask & signing) Well, that's good.

TEAL'C: I WILL Attempt to restart.

MY LORD APOPHIS! : Shol'Va! To all those who would turn against their god,
know this!--- For your insolence, you will DIE in the cold of space. What is
rightfully mine will return to ME!

JACK: Was that who I think it was? And did he just say what I think he
said?!

TEAL'C: If you think it was Apophis, and if you think he said the device
from which this craft is constructed contains a device to return this glider
to his home world, then,yes.

JACK: He also mentioned something about DYING ---

TEAL'C: --- In the cold of space.

JACK: Right! (A few seconds later) Well, the ol' boy hasn't lost his touch,
has he? (AQ! Has to say: Nope, My lord hasn't!<g>)

DANNY?: (too far to tell who's mouth is moving, either his or Davis's)
Digger 1 come in. Jack or Teal'C please respond. (That's why I think It's
Danny, Davis wouldn't have called Jack by his first name, right?) (Silence)
Nothing!

DAVIS: NASA Deep-Space tracking is trying to boost the signal.

DANNY: General, maybe we should contact our allies capable of space flight.
Tell em our situation.

GH: Proceed, Doctor. SG-2 will be standing by to assist.

GV: How fast is the glider going now?

DAVIS: Roughly a million miles an hour. At least they're no longer
accelerating.

GV: George, maybe it would be best if I returned to the pentegon. See what
our people can contribute from that end. YOU bring them home.

GH: Yes, Sir.

SAM: Sir, I have an idea, but a whole lotta things have got to go right for
it to work. (She sits down next to Davis)

JACK: (Over radio) Cheyenne, we have a problem!

SAM: (After freaking out<g>) Digger 1, this is flight! Reading you five by
!(No response)

GH: Why haven't they responded?

SAM: We'll have to wait for it, Sir.

DAVIS: It's a time lag, Sir. The time it takes for our signal to travel from
earth to the X-301 and back.

JACK: How are we on consumeables?

TEAL'C: We have sufficient power and life surport for several days.

JACK: Several DAYS --- Well, that's something. How long will this thing take
to get to where ever it's going?

TEAL'C: Assuming this device is programmed to return to Apophis's home
world, Several Hundred years.

JACK: Several HUNDRED?

TEAL'C: YEARS!

JACK: Yeah, just uh --- let me do the math on that --- carry the four ---

TEAL'C: The instillation of this device was clearly the result of my
betrayel of Apophis. Before I became SHOL'VA, such a device would have been
un necessary.

JACK: So ---?

TEAL'C: I am indirectly responsible, O'Neill. ---

JACK: Oh, stop it. We'll be fine. (Sounds of static)

DANNY: (Over radio) Digger 1 come in.

JACK: There, see?

DANNY: Jack or Teal'C , please respond!

JACK: Yeah, flight. Digger one --- we read you --- we have lost control of
the craft to some sort of recall device. Apparently, the scum-sucking,
slimey snake-assed Apophis <g> intalled in his death gliders. Over! (Static)
Flight, do you copy?! Uh --- flight. I don't know whether or not you can
hear me, but --- uh --- controls are NOT responding. No thrusters, and no
reaction control system. We are --- purely ballistic. (5 Seconds silence)
<Quietly> Over.

SAM: Colonel, you're so far out, there's already a time lapse of a few
minutes, so conversation is gonna be a problem. We've received some
preliminary tracking data from deep space network. The glider is going to
pass relatively close to Jupitor. We're hoping if we can somehow nudge your
trajectory just a bit, you can perform a sling-shot manuver back toward
earth. Message ends (Looks @ watch) 1430 zulu.

DAVIS: A time lag. Good thinking , Major.

SAM: It would take a few minutes for our radio signal to get that far out,
even AT the speed of light.

JACK: (Over radio) --- flight. Digger one --- we read you --- we have lost
control of the craft to some sort of recall device. Apparently, (MAJOR
static here!)Apophis <g> intalled in his death gliders. Over! (Static)
Flight, do you copy?! Uh --- flight. I don't know whether or not you can
hear me, but --- uh --- controls are NOT responding. (Sam closes her eyes,
and bows her head here. You know the look, right?!) No thrusters, and no
reaction control system. We are --- (Static) ballistic.

SAM: Dammit! I was counting on them having at least SOME ability to maneuver
it! I don't know how to swing them around Jupiter without reaction control
systems! (Davis looks sadly @ Sam.) (Shot goes to Digger 1) (Over radio)
We're hoping we can somehow nudge your trajectory so you can do a sling-shot
menuver back to earth. Message end: 1430 zulu. (Static)

JACK: Message understood @ 1433 Zulu. (To Teal'C) OK! How do we do that?!

TEAL'C: Without control of our thrusters, we are incapeable of nudging.

JACK: (Quietly) Right. Uh, flight, this is Digger 1. We have NEGATIVE ---
nudging capeabilities. (Looks @ panel) Stand by, flight. Teal'C, the weapons
system we installed shouldn't be affected, right?

TEAL'C: What are you consitering, O'Neill?

JACK: Our Missles.

TEAL'C: At this velocity a great deal of thrust would be required to
significally alter our trajectory.

JACK: We JUST need a nudge.

TEAL'C: I am unsure of that specific measurement.

JACK: Uh, flight. Digger 1 . We've got 2 AIM-120 Alpha rocket moders that
may, I'll say again , MAY, be @ our desposal.

We go back to the control room. Sam and Davis run to control panel.

JACK: (Over radio) Uh, flight. Digger 1 . We've got 2 AIM-120 Alpha rocket
moders that may, I'll say again , MAY, be @ our desposal. Can we over ride
the release meconism and keep em attached thru burnout? If so, we need to
calculate where, when, and duration of burn. Digger 1 @ 1458 ZULU.

GH: Major Davis?

DAVIS: They want to cook off the missles, Sir.

GH: What for?

SAM: If we can get enough delta V out of the missles' rocket motors, our
plan might still work. We'll need an over ride procendure. Can you do it?

DAVIS: That's the easy part.

SAM: Talk them thru it. I'll need half an hour to make the burn
calculations,Sir.

DAVIS: Half an hour? Major, don't get me wrong, but the margin for error for
this ---

SAM: THAT'S the time we've got ---

DAVIS: I realize that! They thrust in the wrong direction, they hit Jupiter.

SAM: Wait any longer, and we're too late. (To GH) Sir?

GH: Do it.

DAVIS: OK, Missle selection switched to AIM-120A Air to air mode to 4.

JACK: Slow down, for cryin' out loud!(As Davis continues, Jack gets a dazed
over look on his face! He must be thinking, that he reminds him of
someone.<g>) Teal'C you getting' all this? (Davis contunes techno-babble)

SAM's TURN! <g>: Fire missle 2 followed by missle 1. I know this sounds like
a lot, guys, but it's what we have to do. Commence at any point from 1622
ZULU. This is flight. 1618 ZULU.

JACK: That's right about now. When ever you're ready.

TEAL'C: Air to air mode bore.

JACK: Update?

TEAL'C: Update.

JACK: Ready. Flight, this is digger 1, we've updated and are ready to begin
burn. Selecting--- Missle 2 and --- (Ship takes off) 4---3---2---1---
(Second missle ignites)

TEAL'C: Weapons are releasing! (The missle hits the craft)

JACK: LOOK OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

SAM: Preliminarty data coming in. (Screen shows the failure) (Sam puts her
head down, Davis stares out into space) Digger 1, this is flight. We have no
joy on the burn. I'm sorry, Colonel, but the missles just didn't have enough
thrust. (GH is looking @ Sam ) Your current trajectory takes you out of the
solar system and towords the oort cloud, which you should reach in a ---
(She pauses here) in a few months. (Puts her head down) We're all still
thinking down here, so, don't give up. 1813 ZULU.( Davis looks sad. He blows
out a breath. Poor Sam looks like she wants to cry.)

SAM: (Over radio) (A shot of the craft is seen passing by Jupitor)We're all
still thinking down here, so, don't give up. 1813 ZULU.

JACK : Cabin pressure's holding. We didn't spring a leak --- though I may
have just --- taken one!

TEAL'C: Our situation has indeed worstened.

JACK: Ya think?!

TEAL'C: Indeed. The impact of the missle has damaged both power and life
surpport.

JACK: I've always wanted to see the OORD cloud, so there's that. (Teal'C
sends him a look) Flight, this is Digger 1. Failed burn caused damage to our
power systems, and life support.

DAVIS: No pupolsion of any kind, and this attempt to change their course has
damaged both life support and power systems. For the moment, we'll have
complete shutdown of all nonessential systems.

DANNY: Maybe they could try to disconnect what ever it is that blocked them
out in the first place.

GH: It's worth considering.

SAM: No, Sir, I don't think it is.

DANNY: Why not?

SAM: We have to assume there's a failsafe meconism to prevent the pilot from
attempting just that.

DAVIS: We don't know that for a fact.

SAM: Yeah, but it makes sence. At this point, I recommend we on the life
surport.

DAVIS: The engineers who designed the craft are running senerios now. They
can scrub CO2. Oxygen and power are gonna be a problem now. It's going to
get COLD up there.

GH: Doctor Jackson?

DANNY: The Tollen don't have a space crart fast enough, or close enough to
get there with in a year.

GH: And the Tok'Ra?

DANNY: (LESS than enthusiastic) Uh --- yeah! (Normal tone) I spoke with
Anise personally. She said they had a scout ship within a day or so of
earth, (Quietly, sarcastically) Barely, (Normal tone) but it's on a covert
mission to a Goa'Uld-occupied world, and the High Council doesn't want to
expose the operative by --- making --- contact. (GH lowers his head &
appears to roll his eyes.)

DAVIS: Then, why would they bother to tell you that much?

DANNY: They hope that the operative will complete the mission and report
back in time to help Jack and Teal'C.

GH: I assume Anise refused to say where & what this covert mission was.

DANNY: And to understand not wanting to jeopardize the life of a Tok'Ra
important to BOTH of us. I mean , I sort of lost my temper, but she said she
was doing us a favor, by telling us as much as she did.

SAM: Maybe she was! I mean, we know a scout ship's maximum speed from our
mission to Netu. We also know it's a Goa'Uld-occupied world relatively close
to Earth, so ---

DAVIS: So --- that narrows it down.

SAM: Yes, it does. Sir, with your permission ---

GH: Granted!

TEAL'C: Navigation --- off. Fire control systems --- off.

JACK: Targeting computer --- off.

TEAL'C: Illumination to minimum setting. (about 10 seconds of silence)

JACK: Is that all we can shut down?

TEAL'C: The radio, O'Neill.

JACK: Right --- Flight, this is digger 1 @ one niner 52 ZULU. We have
initiated power conservation, and will have to eliminate the downlink. We'll
reconfigure for a comm pass 5 minutes before and after every hour.

DANNY: (Over radio) This is flight. Hold tight, guys. We got a new plan.
We're trying to reach you with a Tok'Ra scout ship. Message ends @ (To
someone) What time is it? Uh --- 1947 ZULU.

JACK: Uh --- flight, Digger 1, we would prefer to do SOMETHING. Tell us how
to fix this thing, we'll fly ourselves home.

DANNY : OH! If you're thinking of trying to disconnect the recall device,
Sam thinks that would just make things worse.

SAM: This is P2C-257. This is the ONLY Goa'Uld-occupied world which is
remotely within a scout ships range of Earth , at maximum speed. The Tok'Ra
operative MUST be there.

GH: What are the risks?

SAM: Well, Sir. SG-14 spent several days there watching the Goa'Uld mining
operation. They managed to get in and out without being detected.

GH: There's still the matter of identifying the Tok'Ra operative.

SAM: Anise said it was someone important to both of us.

DANNY: Someone we know.

SAM: At least that's what we're hoping.

DANNY: We know what the risks are, Sir, and we're ready.

GH: I can see that. You have a go.

SAM: Thank you , Sir. Tell them to hang on, Sir. We'll get there.

GH: Digger 1, this is Hammond. Doctor Jackson and Major Carter are procuring
a craft fast enough to rescue you,but you're going to have to hang on for at
least 24 hours. I know that sounds like a long time, and I know you want to
do some thing to get your selves out of this, but the best thing you can do
is conserve your energy. Hammong out @ 2100.

JACK: 24 hours.

TEAL'C: Our current life surport and power will not last 12 hours.

JACK: Let me do the math ---

Sam and Danny are crawling thru some woods. She's looking @ the Jaffa and
pyramids thru a night vision camera.

SAM: We may have to go into the mine.

DANNY: What about contacting the operative by radio?

They hear a noise. They are transported onto a ship by the ring thingys.
Still laying down, they get up, and Sam points her gun at the closed door.
The door opens to reveal a very angry looking "Dad." She lowers her weapon.

JACOB (YAY! <g>): Are you out of your mind?!?! (VERY Angry) WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU 2 DOING HERE?!?!?!

SAM: We were looking for you.

JACOB: (Still yelling, hence the caps) WELL, YOU BETTER HAVE A DAMN GOOD
REASON! I WAS 20 MINUTES AWAY FROM DETINATING A WEAPONS-GRADE SHIPPMENT OF
NAQUATA THAT WOULD HAVE VAPORIZED A SIZABLE CHUNK OF THIS PLANET!!!!!!!!!!
(He's Pissed!) (Softer, hence NO caps) Now, if I hadn't spotted you 2 coming
thru the stargate---

SAM: You SAW us?

JACOB: Yes, The ship was cloaked --- CLOAKED being the operative word. Now,
they know we're here.

SAM: Colonel O'Neill and Teal'C need your help.

JACOB: What happened?

DANNY: They're stranded in a disabled glider headed into space.

SAM: This was the only ship within range.

JACOB: Good enough. Well, let's go. (Sam and Danny look @ each other, the
follow him)

GH: What is it, Major?

DAVIS: General, Sir, Major Carter and Doctor Jackson are now abord a Tok'Ra
Scout ship being pioleted by her father, Sir. We're designating it Digger 2.

GH: I call that good news, Major. What's the problem?

DAVIS: (Sighs) We've only received the one coaded message, Sir. Before they
made the jump into hyper space. Now, by my calculations, even @ the ship's
top speed --- Colonel O'Neill and Teal'C will be dead by the time they
arrive. (Forever the pessimist, 'eh, Major!) (GH looks worried)

JACK: What do you say we turn up the heat?

TEAL'C: We must conserve as much power as possible.

JACK: By the way, I've done the math ---

TEAL'C: (SMILING!!!!!<g>) As have I.

JACK: So, what do you say we turn up the heat? It's cold in here.

TEAL'C: I am aware.

JACK: You know, I've already done that --- freezing to death thing, and it's
just not as enjoyable as it sounds. So, if we just consiter there's no
chance ---

TEAL'C: There IS a chance.

JACK: 24 minus 12 ---

TEAL'C: If I placed myself in an extremely deep state of Kel'No'Reem, my
heart rate will decrease, and our oxygen requirement will be lowered
considerably.

JACK: (seconds later) Who will I talk to?

TEAL'C: (Is that a smile --- again?!??!) There is little to say, O'Neill. We
have fought and won many battles together. It has been an honor to serve the
Tau'Ri by your side. We are brothers.

JACK: Wow, that's uh ---

TEAL'C: Is there anything you wish to say, O,Neill?

JACK: What could I POSSIBLY say after that? Back at ya!

TEAL'C: If we are to die, we die well. (He goes into Kel'No'Reem)

JACK: We could do better.

We go to Digger 2, which is going thru hyperspace.

SAM: Vibration.

JACOB: No kidding. We're at 132% of maximum speed. (VERY Sarcastically) If
we don't shake apart first, we might just get there.

DANNY: (With one of his many adorable expressions, this time raising his
eyebrows and looking over his glasses.) Is that WISE?

JACOB: NO!

DANNY: OH!

Jacob nods his head. (Hello, Selmack!)

SELMACK: You did not know about the recall mechonism?

SAM: Well, apparently, Apophis didn't need a recall device until Teal'C
planted the seeds of rebellion on Chulack. We didn't have a clue.

SELMACK: The devices are new, even to the Tok'Ra.

SAM: You could have told us!

SELMACK: You could have told us of your intentions.

Selmack bows her head, Dad's back! <g>

DANNY: Uh, yes, why didn't we?

JACOB: Same reason we didn't. Politics. So, how do you intrend to get them
out the glider once we get there? I mean, there's no chance it'll fit in the
cargo bay.

DANNY: We were hoping you could kinda --- like --- beam them out.

JACOB: (Laughing) Beam them out? What am I , Scotty? (Excuse me while I
laugh my ass off!)

SAM: I have an idea, Dad. Colonel O'Neill and Teal'C are gonna have to take
a leap of faith.

JACK: (Weakly) This is Digger 1 --- 1011 --- ZULU. Teal'C's meditating to
conserve oxygen --- I'm trying to sleep, but it's hard.--- CO2 levels ---
are high.--- headache --- is bad. --- send asprin. --- I estimate --- three
hours. --- this is --- Digger --- 1 .

SAM: What's wrong.

JACOB: Nothing's wrong. Not yet.

DANNY: But there will be something wrong?

JACOB: Well, let's just say I'd like to stop for a second and make some
repairs, but this is not a particually safe part of town to pull over.

DANNY: OH!

JACOB: And, what were you thinking, anyway? Retrofitting a death glider? You
should have known better. The technology you're screwing around with is way
over your head!

SAM: That is the most arrogant --- I can't believe that that just came out
of your mouth!

JACOB: Well, it's the truth.

SAM: You of all people should know ---

JACOB: I am uniquely qualified to know just how technologically infantile
the human race is.

SAM: INFINTILE?!?!?!

JACOB: Yes, in comparison with the Goa'Uld and Tok'Ra, you're very young.

SAM: Yo---you are so---

JACOB: There's nothing wrong with being young, but you've gotta learn to
take small steps. You can't just slap a US Air Force sticker on the side of
a DEATH GLIDER, and call it yours. Advancement like that has to be earned.

DANNY: Um, aren't the Goa'Uld,and the Tok'Ra,for that matter, uh --- where
they are by stealing the technology from other races?

SAM: YES!

JACOB: Yes, but the Tok'Ra were flying around in ships like these when most
of the people on earth thought it was flat.

SAM: (A boom is heard) What's that?

JACOB: What I was afraid of. We've over taxed the drives. (The ship gets out
of hyperspace)

DANNY: Are we still in a bad part of town?

JACOB: The worst. We can probably get the drives back online, but it's gonna
take a few minutes.

DANNY: Excuse me? Is THAT what I think it is? (2 Motherships appear)

SAM: Can we cloak the ship?

JACOB: Nah. All main power systems are off line. (To Danny) Can you speak
with the Goa'Uld dialect?

DANNY: The dialect , yes.

JACOB: That's all you need. When they try to make contact with you, place
your hand here, and use your imagination. Take your hand away, and it'll
broadcast. Sam, can you give me a hand. (Danny watches the Carters leave.)

JACK: (Over radio) Trying to sleep, but it's hard. CO2 levels are high.
(Davis puts his fingers to his head, and rubbs ) (GH has a stoic look on his
face) Headache is bad. (Is Davis crying? He's rubbing his eyes, too) Send
asprin. I estimate three hours. This is Digger 1.

DAVIS: (Taking his hands off his eyes. He WAS crying) (Voice cracking) Shall
I respond, Sir?

GH: Do we have any information to pass on?

DAVIS: No, Sir. Not since Major Carter reported they boarded the scout ship.

GH: Let the man try to sleep.

DAVIS: Yes, Sir.

Goa'Uld: (Heru'Ur?) Krae tal shal mak! Heru'Ur!

DANNY: Mak tal shree! Lo tak meka satak OZ!

SECOND GOA'ULD: (Sounds a lot like Apophis!)Mak Tal Shree! Lok tak Meka
satak OZ.

HERU'UR?: Mok Tal OZ?!??!?!?!?!

DANNY: Mak Tal OZ KREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <g> (He smiles here! I think
he's having fun!)

APOPHIS??: Mak Tal OZ, KREE! (Danny really smiles here!)

HERU'UR: Kal tek shree, tak monak!

JACOB: Alright, we're almost finished.

DANNY: That's good, because I don't think they bought my act.

JACOB: Why? Who'd you say you were?

DANNY: The great and powerful ---OZ!

JACOB: (Sighning) (Yelling) SAM!

SAM: Almost there!

JACOB: (Seing death gliders leave ship) WE'VE GOTTA GO!

SAM: Punch it! (She jumps into hyperspace while being chased by death
gliders)

GH: It's been almost 3 hours. I'd like to send a final message to Colonel
O'Neill.

DAVIS: (Nice tears, Davis!) Yes, Sir.

SAM: (Over radio) This is digger 2, we are in the solar system, and
preparing for retrieval. We estimate our time to station keep with digger 1
is 4 minutes. Stand by. (Davis and GH look at each other) We're trying to
make contact with Digger 1, Sir, without success. (They pull up breside the
death glider) Digger 1, this is Carter. Do you read?

JACOB: Are we too late?

SAM: I think they're unconscious.

DANNY: Well, we have to wake them up somehow.

SAM: Dammit, Colonel! We haven't come all this way to take you home in a
box, now WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JACOB: Let me give them a nudge. (Jack wakes up from the bump)

SAM: Colonel O'Neill? (He looks around) (Disorientated) Carter? (Looks
toward them) Carter!

SAM: (Smiling away) Yes, Sir!

JACK: (Completely out of it!) HI!

SAM: Hi, Sir. We're gonna find a way to get you back home safe and warm.
What's your reserve Oxygen statis?

JACK: Uh --- I don't ---- WHAT?!?!

SAM: (Said slowly) What's your reserve Oxygen status?

JACK: (Looking @ her and blinking, still out of it!) Carter, is that you?

SAM: Sir, we're over here ready to bring you home. You're gonna have to
trust me. (He look around confused) He's suffering from anoxia, oxygen
deprivation. Do you trust me , Sir?

JACK: (Snaps his head to look @ her) Sure!

SAM: Good! Is Teal'C conscious?

JACK: (Softly) Teal'C? (Throws some thing at Teal'C) (Louder) Teal'C?!
(Teal'C 's eyes snap open)

TEAL'C: O'Neill?

JACK: Look, It's Carter! She wants to talk to you!

TEAL'C: Major Carter! Little Oxygen remains.

SAM: Cabin pressure?

TEAL'C: Also very low.

SAM: We copy that. So we want you do exactly as we say. First, remove your
restraints. Then on my mark, blow the canapy of the glider, then push off.

TEAL'C: We will die!

SAM: Negative! It'll be alright if it's only for a few seconds.

JACOB: Teal'C, the only way we can bring you abord is with the ring
transporter. That means you have to be clear of the glider. Got it?

TEAL'C: I understand.

JACOB: Good. I need you at least 5 meters from the scout ship, close
together. Stand by until I get into position.

JACK: Jacob, is that you?!

JACOB: Yes, it is, Jack. Now do what we tell you.

JACK: Did you know your ship's bigger than ours?

SAM: Colonel, we need you to consentrate.

JACK: Blow the canopy.

SAM: On my mark, not before.

JACK: (Snaps his head) Right!

SAM: Make sure your helmets are secure, and set your oxygen at 100%. You'll
need to prebreath the last breaths in deep breaths holding each one in.
You'll need to power the system before you blow the canopy. Then disconnect
the umbilical, and exhale as much as possible. Stand by!

JACOB: We're in position. Stand by in the hold.

SAM: Colonel, Teal'C? Are you ready?

JACK: Ready!

SAM: Three --- two --- one ---mark!

The canopy opens, and Jack and Teal'C begin to float in to space. The cargo
doors open, and the transporter rings catch them. Sam looks back to see them
faint. Danny runs to check Jack. Teal'C is smiling, he's fine!

DANNY: They're all right!

SAM: Flight, this is digger 2 . We have Colonel O'Neill & Teal'C aboard!
THEY'RE BOTH ALIVE!!!! (She gets up and runs to the cargo bay) Welcome
aboard!

JACK: Jacob --- Thanks for stopping by!

JACOB: What the hell? I was in the neighborhood! Ya need a lift home?

JACK: Yes, Sir. Thank you. (Everyone smiles as Jacob helps Jack up)

Back in the gateroom!

Davis appears to be praying as Sam's message is relayed to them. Davis and
GH both put up their hands screaming as the whole place erupts in cheers!
Davis and GH Shake hands while smiling the biggest smiles I have ever seen
on either of them.

DAVIS: YEAH!!!!! Well done, Digger 2, Congratulations! Now come on home!

CLOSING CREDITS!

Episode 76 - "Point of No Return"

We begin with a shot from below of Sam pouring water in a glass.

SAM: Does anyone know what this meeting's all about?

DANNY: No, but I hope it's important. I was working on translating the
cuniform tablet we found on P3O-255.

SAM: I still have to finish recalabrating MALP 3-K sensors for long-term
reconngnisses on P5X-3D7.

TEAL'C: I was unable to complete my Kel'No'Reem.

JACK: (Laying on his arms) I was just about to do something important.

GH: (Walking in) All right, people. As you were. We have ourselves a
situation. Early this morning, at approximately 04:00 hours, the base
switchboard received the following call ---

GH Switches the tape recorder on.

MAN: (From the TR) Hello. This is a message for Colonel Jack O'Neill and
anyone else who's listening. I know this call's being monitored, but don't
bother to set up a trace. I'm at a phone booth in Butte, Montana, and I'll
be long gone before your black-ops teams can get here. You're not dealing
with an amateur. I know all about Roswell, (Jack kinda rolls his eyes here.)
And the Kennedy cover-ups, and the --- (GH begins to FF tape.)

GH: He goes on like that for a while.(GH stops tape)

MAN: (Continuing on TR) ---and the C.I.A.-sanctioned Microwave harassment,
and the --- (GH Continues to FF tape) (Danny raises his eyebrows in I would
say boredome)

GH: Quite a while.

MAN: (After more FF ding) --- And the Lizard people. (A smile slowly creeps
across Jack's face! He's so cute!) (Here, seeing Jack grin, Sam tries to
hide a smile by looking next to her at Danny, Danny looks at Jack) But the
point is, none of these compare with your little secret, Colonel. I'm
talking about a large circular object, discovered in Egypt, currently
residing at the bottom of a missle silo under Cheyenne Mountain. I believe
you call it the stargate. Now that I've gotten your attention, I want to
meet --- tomorrow, 11 A.M. at the New Cloverleaf Restaurant in Billings, and
Colonel, come alone. (GH stops recorder)

JACK: Interesting. (Sam and Danny share glances)

TEAL'C: It would appear base security has been breached.

GH: I want to know who this man is. I want to know how he got his
information, and I want to know who he's been talking to. You leave in half
an hour.

OPENING CREDITS

Next shot goes to the diner. Jack is tapping his fingers nervously, and
impatiently on the table. A man walks up to him. The shot pans his clothing.
He has nice dress shoes on with gray dress pants, blue dress shirt, with a
tan jacket. He's pretty well dressed. He's a balding man with big blue eyes
, and thick glasses.

MAN: Colonel O'Neill?

JACK: (Looking up) Yeah?

MAN: Sorry I'm late. I think I was followed. (Looks around)

JACK: (Also looks around) Ya sure?

MAN: Yeah. But don't worry. I managed to loose 'em.

JACK: Very professional. (Man looks around) What's your name?

MARTIN: You can call me Martin.

JACK: (Looking very yummy in a green civy shirt) OK, Martin. (MMN! Love the
gray hair!) What's this about?

MARTY: (Not to be confused with another Marty who was a Tok'Ra!) If you
don't mind, Before we get started ---

Jack watches as Marty gets up and stands next to him. He has something that
looks like a cellular phone in his hands. Jack rises.

MARTY: (Passing the cell-phone looking thingy over Jack's body <Bad thought,
get out! Shut up, AQ!>) Just like to check you for transmitters. (OH! NO!
Oh, to be that transmitter! OOPS, I said it! <g>)

JACK: Okay ---

MARTY: You're clean. You understand, a man in my position has to take
precautions.

JACK: Yeah. You never know who's listening.

While the following conversation is going on, the Shot goes to Teal'C
dressed as a short order cook, white hat and all, turning the check console
in the kitchen to reveal a small hidden camera!

MARTY: Exactly! I don't know about you, but I always feel like I'm being
watched.

JACK: Come on, Martin. Let's get to it, what's going on here?

MARTY: You know as well as I do, Colonel.

JACK: I don't.

Shot goes to the camera's prespective of the diner.

SAM: OK, Here we go. (Typing) We've got a driver's licence. We should be
able to find him.

DANNY: You know, I've never been on a stakeout before. Shouldn't we have
like donuts or something. (Takes a sip of his coffee)

MARTY: A top secret government program involving instantaneous travel to
other Solar Systems, by means of a device known as a stargate.

JACK: Sounds like a good idea for a TV show. If you're into that sort of
thing.

MARTY: Colonel, let's not play games. If it isn't true, then why would you
come all this way?

JACK: OK. The truth, there is a top-secret government program called project
Stargate.

MARTY: I Knew It!

JACK: But it has nothing to do with space travel.

MARTY: What does it have to do with?

JACK: Magnets.

MARTY: What the hell is that supposed to mean?!

JACK: Nope, I've already said too much.

MARTY: Colonel, you're not taking this seriously.

JACK: No, I'm not.

MARTY: I need help.

JACK: Why? What seems ---

MARTY: I have to go thru the star gate!

JACK: Marty, I don't ---

MARTY: No, I mean it. I've come to realize that I don't belong here. For the
longest time, I was obsessed with all those --- (Jack shifts his eyes toward
Teal'C who just looks at Jack) --- Alien conspiracies --- crop circles, cow
mutilations, the Apollo cover-up.

JACK: I thought the lunar landings were a hoax.

MARTY: No, that was the story created by the government to direct attention
away from the real cover-up. Everybody knows that! Anyway, one day, I'm
online, and I find this conspiracy chat room, and they're talking about
something called the star gate. Most of it was disimformation , but the word
"Stargate" stuck in my head. It triggered what I later realized was an
oppressed memory. You see, Colonel O'Neill, the truth is, I'm not just
interested in outer space --- I'm FROM outer space.

JACK: (Looking @ him with no expression) Check, please!

Next shot is Danny looking over the driver's shoulder to the diner from the
van.

SAM: We've got something. (Danny walks to the back of the van) (Pointing to
the computer screen.) That's him, Martin Lloyd, brown hair, hazel eyes.
(Typing) (Mug shot comes up) Looks like he's got a criminal record. He was
arrested for protesting outside a TV station. He said subliminal advertising
was controlling his thoughts.

DANNY: (Raises his eyebrows) Do you have a current address?

SAM: Yeah, I could get the prescription of his glasses if I wanted. (More
typing)

MARTY: So, you still don't believe me?! I'm an Alien!

JACK: **Sighs** You look pretty human to me. **Smiles**

MARTY: No --- what I believe, is that thousands of years ago, people were
taken from earth, maybe as part of some experiament, maybe as slaves, who
knows. But the point is, there are entire civilizations up there descending
from those original humans.

JACK: Now, that's just crazy talk!

MARTY: Want proof?! (Stops when waitress brings check) I can give you proof.
I can show you my ship.

JACK: Look, Marty, I'm a busy man. And you don't strike me as any great
threat to national security --- (He stops when he see's the check. It says
WE'VE GOT HIS ADDRESS, STALL HIM! On it. He also ordered a Cherry pie which
costed $2.00 and a coffee which costed $.75 for a total of $2.75! What's his
thing with pie??!?!? <g>) But, as you know, it never hurts to be thorough.
So, show me. (Marty nods, and gets up. Jack rolls his eyes, and gets up)

Shot goes to wooded area with a nice stream.

MARTY: It's just over the next ridge. The ship's supposed to be buried, but
I know exactly where it is.

JACK: (Looking exceptionally yummy in leather jacket!) Marty --- what makes
you think you can trust me with all this?

MARTY: I can't explain it Colonel, I just have a gut feeling. We have
something in common.

JACK: Well, that's very flattering, but I'm not an alien.

MARTY: I KNOW that! Something else.

JACK: (Quietly) Right.

MARTY: Up here.

Next shot goes to Sam's shoes getting out of the car. I knew it was her by
the way she walks. Sam really looks great! She has black shoes with a buckle
on them, denim pants, and jacket, and a pink or salmon colored turtle neck
sweater.

SAM: This is it. (As they walk up to the house)

DANNY: Nice place! (Sam knocks on the door)

SAM: Hello?! (She looks @ Danny and shakes her head.) (She proceeds to pick
the lock! Man, that girl got skills!) (They walk in the house. It has all
kinda alien stuff in it!) Oh, Boy!

DANNY: Something tells me we don't need to worry about this guy.

SAM: Except for the fact he happens to be very close to the truth. (She
walks up too --- IS THAT THOR?!?!?!?!?!?! Sorry! <g> It's a statue that
looks just like the Asgards.) He looks familiar!

Space noise is heard. Sam looks toward Teal'C who is playing with a toy
laser gun.

TEAL'C: (Dead seriously!<g>) It would appear this weapon is ineffective.
(Sam smiles)

Danny opens some blinds. Then he looks thru some cabinets. Opens up another
cabinet to reveal it's FULL of prescription bottles!

DANNY: Oh, Hello! Sam, you're gonna wanna --- take a look @ this! (Sam walks
over to Danny, you can still hear the sounds of the toy gun!)

SAM: Whoh, that's quite a collection! Tranqualizers, antidepressants,
Antipsycotics. Looks like our friend here has been treated for a number of
different psychotic problems.

DANNY: Yeah, why doesn't that surprise me?

JACK: (Walking thru woods with Marty) Marty, we've been walking around for
the last half hour!

MARTY: I don't understand it! The clearing where I landed should be around
here somewhere.

JACK: How do ya loose a spaceship?

MARTY: Well, my memory isn't so good. Sometimes, I get a little confused. I
think it might be the medication.

JACK: Yeah, well, there ya go. Hey, listen,(Grabs Marty's arm to stop his
walking) I'm gone back to the car.

MARTY: NO! Wait! You can't --- please --- It's around here somewhere. I know
it is!

JACK: Marty, listen to me! There IS no spaceship! You're NOT an alien!

MARTY: You don't understand!

JACK: I get that a lot. (Marty bows his head) Come on. I'll drive you back
to town.

Danny's reading a journal.

SAM: Find anything?

DANNY: Oh, yeah. It's a diary. (Reading from Journal) Um --- April 12
Someone has gone thru my garbage. Suspect CIA. Must take precautions. May 2:
Comb missing. Suspect CIA has stolen it to aquire genetic identification.
(Sam rolls her eyes and walks away) Uh --- June 26: Comb found behind
dresser Disposed of it in case of Tampering, bought new comb 39 cents (Sam's
walking around as Danny talks) @ shopmart. I'm telling you this is a
complete waste of time. He has paranoid delusions. (Sam looks into Thor,
uh --- I mean the sculpture of the Roswell greys)

Sounds of Motor Whirring. Shot goes to a TV monitor with Sam on it.

MAN: What have we got?

MAN #2: Activity in the house.

MAN: Looks like Martin's got visitors.

MAN # 2: That's not all. See the big guy? Watch what happens when I get a
thermo scan. (OH! Well! Look at Junior! <g>) Definitely not human.

Back @ base, Janet knock on a door.

GH: Come in.

JANET: Sir, I have the results of the tests done on the medication that
Major Carter took from Martin's house. (She hands him the report)

GH: That was fast.

JANET: Preliminary analysis was done in a Montana lab. They faxed it over.
There are some anomalies.

GH: Meaning?

JANET: Several unidentifiable chemicals were present. I believe that the
drugs may have been tampered with.

GH: For what purpose?

JANET: I can't say. I mean for all we know, the medications may be the cause
of his delusions.

GH: I'll mention that to Colonel O'Neill.

JANET: The name of the psychiatrist who prescribed the drugs was on the
label.

PSYCHIATRIST: I must say, your phone call piqued my curiosity. I don't often
get requests for information from the military!

SAM: Well, this concerns a particular patient of your , Martin Lloyd.

PSYCHIATRIST: Oh, I see. Of course, you understand that doctor/patient
privilidge prohibits me from discussion case history of a client.

SAM: This is a matter of National Security, Doctor Tanner. The privilidge
doesn't exist in this case.

DR. TANNER: National security involving MARTIN! (Chuckles) I find that hard
to believe!

DANNY: Why do you say that?

DR. TANNER: Let's put it this way, people like Martin sometimes compensate
for their feelings of insignificance by creating elabrate fantasies in which
they are the center and focas of all the attention. These people are usually
harmless, although they may try and draw others into their illusions. That's
what's happened here.

Some Alien movie is on TV. A machine is whirling, and humming?? Is heard!
The machine stops. Teal'C walks up to Jack, and puts his big hand out. Jack
reaches into his pocket, and takes out a handful of coins, and gives them to
Teal'C! LOL! He puts a coin in the machine, and smile the biggest ,
teethiest, smile I have EVER seen! He lays down on the bed, which starts
shaking . OH! MY GOD!!!! Guys! I THINK it's TEAL'C that's humming, because
when the bed starts vibrating, the hums vibrate as well! Knock on the door.

MARTY: Colonel O'Neill! (Teal'C perks his head up) Colonel O'Neill, are you
in there?

JACK: (Mutes TV, and walks to the door) Martin?

MARTY: Please! I have to see you!

Jack throw a hat @ Teal'C who is sitting up on the vibrating bed.

MARTY: Oh, good. You're here. You have no I dea how --- (He stops when he
sees Teal'C laying on the bed) Who's he?

JACK: Um --- my friend --- Murrey. (Teal'C , still laying on the vibrating
bed, waves)

MARTY: You trust him?

JACK: Oh, yeah!

MARTY: I guess it's OK.

JACK: Good, glad you're confortable.

MARTY: (Looking out of blinds, then closing them) Don't ya wanna know how I
found you?

JACK: (Shaking his head no) Uh --- OK! (Said less than enthusiastic)

MARTY: (Struggling with the cheap cutains) In your car, I notice a map of
the Sleep-Rite Motel Chain. I checked every one in town.

JACK: There's 2.

MARTY: I'm surprised a man in your position wouldn't take more precautions
to maintain your cover.

JACK: I'm not undercover.

MARTY: (Locks door) You think I'm making this all up. Look at this. (He
produces what appears to be a toothpick) (Teal'C , smiling on the still
shaking bed, looks @ him)

JACK: (Sarcastic, monotone voice) (Taking the toothpick) Yes --- It all
makes since now.

MARTY: I propped it up against the inside of my door. When I got home, it
was on the ground, meaning --- someone was there.

JACK: If you prop it up against the inside of your door, how do you get out?

MARTY: Thru the window! You think I'm so stupid, I go out my own front
door?!

Shot goes to a still smiling Teal'C on the still vibrating bed. It stops
vibrating, and he sits up.

JACK: So, you leave the window unlocked?

MARTY: That's right. I put a hair on the inside of the window sill, and when
that's gone when I ---

JACK: Marty!

MARTY: The point is, someone was there. They're after me. Help me, please!
I'm running out of time.

JACK: (Annoyed??) What do you want?

MARTY: I wanna go home. You have to take me thru the stargate.

Back to Doctor's office .

DANNY: Dr. Tanner, it may be true that Martin is delusional, but there are
still some unanswered questions here.

DR. TANNER: Such as?

DANNY: He seems to be taking a lot of medication.

DOCTOR: Only what is necessary.

Sam starts reciting various meds.

DOCTOR: Major, please! I don't have time to discuss pharmacology. This
interview is over. (Getting up)

SAM: Doctor Tanner, we obtained samples of Martin's medication, apparently,
the drugs have been tampered with.

DOCTOR: That's obserd! There must be some kind of mistake!

SAM: The tests were very thourough.

DOCTOR: I don't know anything about this. I mean, I just write the
prescriptions! I don't MAKE the drugs!

SAM: We're not accusing you of anything! We're just looking for answers.

DOCTOR: You realize that this investigation is only gonna fuel Martin's
paranoia!

SAM: We have no choice! Now we're gonna get to the bottom of this with or
without your help.

DOCTOR: I --- don't know what else I could tell you.

DANNY: Does he have any friends, or relatives, anyone else?

Doctor gets up and looks in filing cabinet.

DOCTOR: This is his work address. (Writes it down and hands it to Sam)
That's the best I can do.

MARTIN: I knew it would come to this! They'll do tests on me, they'll
dissect me like one of those demented high school biology experiments ---

JACK: Marty!

MARTY: I'm never gonna get home! I wanna ---

JACK: SIT!!!! (Marty sits) Look, you gotta relax! Nobody's gonna do anything
to ya, I promice! No, if --- and I stress the word IF --- there is such a
thing, what makes you think your way home is thru this --- stargate?

MARTY: I---I,I,I--- I don't know! I get these Ideas. Flashes. It's a little
confusing I don't even know for sure WHY I want to go it's just --- a, a
feeling --- I'm somebody there. Like, like there's --- something important
for me to do there, more important than anything I can do here. Can I have a
glass of water?

JACK: Yeah. (Gets up, and goes to kitchenette and makes the water) (Marty
digs in pocket for meds.) Let me see those. You should go easy on this ---

MARTY: But ---

JACK: Just for a while. Trust me.

MARTY: What about the symbols?

JACK: What symbols?

MARTY: It's one of the things I see in the flashes, there's 7 of em. I wrote
them down. (Jack opens the paper to reveal 6 various symbols, with the earth
symbol as the last symbol!) (He shows it to Teal'C)

Danny and Sam walk in the warehouse.

SAM: Hello?!

DANNY: This is the place?

SAM: Yeah. This is the address he gave us.

DANNY: But --- it doesn't look like anyone's place of work, there's --- no
one here. (Sam turns around to guns pointed @ them.) (She puts her hands up)

SAM: Except for the guys with guns! (Sarcastically) (Danny turns)

MARTY:(In Rambling mode!) This is totally unfair! Just cause I'm from
another planet, I don't have rights , I mean doesn't the Geneva convention
protect extra terrestrials?!?!? I'll haveta remember to go online ---

JACK: Carter's not answering her phone.

TEAL'C: Should they not have contacted us by now?

JACK: Yep.

MARTY: You know, guys, it would be a really good idea if I took some of my
medication now.

JACK: I don't think so.

MARTY: The thing is, ifI go too long without it, I tend to get a little
nervous. No, really. (To Teal'C, who just gives him a stoic look --- You
know the look, right?)

JACK: Marty, sit down. Let's talk about these symbols.

MARTY: They mean something, don't they?

JACK: Right now, I need you to think very carefully. Where did you see them?

MARTY: I told you, I have these visions. I don't know where they come from.
Maybe it has something to do with my implant.

JACK: Implant?!

MARTY: They put an implant in my head. I always thought they were sending me
symbols.

TEAL'C: (After Jack just stares @ Marty) To whom are you referring?

MARTY: You know --- them. The secret government. The New World Order, black
helicopters, underground bases, don't you guys read the papers? (Teal'C
appears to roll his eyes!)

JACK: Marty! (Holding his head like he has a headache) For GOD's Sake!

MARTY: You don't believe me. My neurolgist didn't believe me either,the
implant is so small, it can't be read under normal ex-ray

JACK: (Looking at Teal'C) (Softly) This is going no where! I'm gonna go look
for Carter and Daniel. (Handing him the meds) Keep an eye on him.

MARTY: Hey! Where ya goin'? (Jack leaves) (To Teal'C) Murrey --- (Teal'C
gives him a threatening pair of eyes!) (He looks scared)

Next shot goes to Sam and Danny's feet tied to the chairs. Pan up, their
hands are bound as well.

MAN: OK. Let's keep this simple! Who are you?

SAM: Who are you?

MAN: We're the guys with the guns, which means you answer OUR questions! So,
once again --- who are you?

DANNY: I'm Doctor Daniel Jackson. This is Major Samantha Carter.

SAM: We're with the Air forse.

MAN: (You know from this angle , he sure looks a lot like Martouf!) Well,
what are you doing here?

SAM: (Shakes head) Classified.

MAN: What do you know about Martin Lloyd?

SAM: (Acting dumb) Never heard of him.

MAN: Yesterday, you were conducting an illegal search in his house.

DANNY: (Joining in on the fun of acting dumb <g>) No, we weren't.
(Martouf-looking man looks from Sam to Danny who raises his eyebrows)

SAM: So, who are you guys, really? CIA? NID?

MAN: (Looking back @ Sam) What do you know about Martin Lloyd?

Jack goes to the doctor's office, which is, surprisingly deserted!

Shot goes to Teal'C reading a tabloid paper, the whistle blower. The
headline reads Headless Alien found in topless bar!

MARTY: (From bathroom) Can I come out yet?,

TEAL'C: NO! (Marty closes door)

JACK: (Walking in) Psychiatrist's office was completely empty, like no one
had ever been there.

TEAL'C: So, what now, O'Neill?

JACK: I got some people on it. Where's Marty?

TEAL'C: He became insistant in his demands for medication.

MARTY: (Knocking on door) Uh --- Murrey? Listen, uh --- I'm REALLY Sorry I
tried to bite you, and I realize it was totally out of line , but I was
wondering if I could come out now? Or I could just stay in here. That's good
too. It's just, I'm getting a little dizzy.

JACK: I don't get it. How does a nut case like that get a set of gate
coordinates? (A thud is heard) Marty? Martin! (Knocks) You all right? (He
opens door) Oh! Crap! (Marty's laying on the floor) Marty?! Marty!!?! (Slaps
his face) Come on, Marty!

TEAL'C: (Standing behind Jack) In hindsight, we should have given him his
medication, O'Neill.

MARTY: Colonel! I remember where my ship is.

MAN: We know you were in Martin's house, because we got you on video. (Puts
computer with picture of Teal'C on table.) What can you tell us about HIM?

DANNY: He's an associate.

MAN: Yeah, we know that! We also know that he's not from around here.

DANNY: Not from Montana?

MARTOUF LOOKING MAN: (Smiles) I think you know what I mean.

MARTY: We should have turned left @ the bottom of the ravine instead of
turning right.

TEAL'C: Do you now believe Martin is correct about his spaceship?

JACK: (Sighs) No --- but he's the closes thing we've got to a lead on Carter
and Daniel. (Motions for Teal'C to proceed him) After you, Murrey.

MARTY: This is it! I told you! (Running, while looking back at Jack and
Teal'C) This is the clearing! The ship is around here somewhere! But,
remember, it's buried, so keep you eyes open, and watch your step --- (He
falls head over heels <g>) This is it! I KNEW it was here! (Marty, Jack, and
Teal'C are digging) I knew it! I'm NOT crazy!

The air forse has set up camp to retrieve the ship.

SOLDIER: The material the object is made from is definatelly not
terrestrial. I used Sonar to get the general size and shape, and I've
enhanced the image by extrapolating the exposed portune. It should look
something like this. (Screen shows craft with wings) Approximately 16 feet
long by 10 feet wide.

MARTY: That's not right. It's too small! That can't be my ship.

JACK: There's another ship out there?

TEAL'C: Could it be an excape pod?

MARTY: That's it! There must be some kind of malfunction! We abandoned the
ship, and came down in the pod!

JACK: We? There's MORE of you? How many more?

MARTY: I'm not sure.

SOLDIER: There can't be too many, Sir. Maybe 4 or 5 @ the most.

MARTY: All this time, I thought the government was watching me. What if it
was the others?

TEAL'C: What would these others want?

MARTY: I don't know. Maybe they're afraid. They don't wanna be exposed.

TEAL'C: If that is the case, then these others may indeed be responsible for
the disappearance of DanielJAckson and MajorCarter.

MARTOUF LOOKING MAN (MLM) : So, you're telling me, this man is an ordinary
technical Sargent?

DANNY: I wouldn't say ordinary.

SAM: He's very good at what he does.

MLM: What's his area of expertise?

SAM: (Thinks) Speechwriter. (LOL! )

MLM: (Puts on thermal scanner --- OH! LOOK! It's Junior!) LOL!: What about
this?

DANNY: (VERY Sarcastically) Oh, that's very good! Did you draw that
yourself?!

SAM: What IS it?!

DANNY: (Still sarcastic) That --- That's a DUCK, isn't it?!

Another bad guy tells MLM something. He closes the lap top, and walks away.

DANNY: We'll just wait here.

MARTY: Our home world was under attack. We were sent here to find allies,
then we realized you weren't advances enough to help up.

JACK: Well, we have our moments.

MARTY: The enemy was too powerful. They wanted to make us slaves. They
wanted us to worship them like gods.

TEAL'C: (Looks @ Jack, who nods and motions toward Marty) The Goa'Uld.

MARTY: Yes, that's it!

JACK: Show him.

TEAL'C: The enemy of which you speak enslaved my people, murdered my father,
and banished my wife and child from our people. I am branded with the symbol
of this false god. (Takes of hat to reveal his gold serpant guard tattoo.)

MARTY: MURREY!!!!!

SOLDIER: Colonel, (Teal'C quickly hides head under hat) We've completed the
radiation sweep. We're ready to open the hatch.

JACK: All right. Let's do it!

MARTY: Wait, wait! You can't! The pod has remote sensors. If you penetrated
the hull, they're gonna know about it.

TEAL'C: Perhaps this can be used to our advantage O'Neill.

SAM: I don't get this. These guys know what a symbiote is, but if they were
really NID, they'd know that Teal'C isn't a security threat.

DANNY: I don't know. That's why I hate working for the government. Every
department has it's own agenda, it's own little --- secrets!

MAN: Very true , Doctor Jackson. (Uh-Oh! If it isn't Doctor Tanner!)

DANNY: (Jack-like) OH! Yeah! Yep! Didn't see THAT one coming!

DR. TANNER(DT): I understand your reluctance to cooperate. In situations
like this, information is on a need to know bases. The fact of the matter
is --- we're running out of time. I'M Running out of patients. And I
REALLY --- (Takes out some torture thing that looks a lot like a cow
prod!) ---need to know.

DANNY: You're not a real doctor, are you?

DT nods his head. A beeper goes off.

MLM: Looks like the experiment's been discovered. What do we do?

DT: Get the van!

DANNY: (Looking exceptionally handsome with a BLUE shirt on! You know what
blue does to his eyes, right?! Yum!) We're gone for a ride?

DT: Not exactly! (He preps a couple of needles)

MARTY: This is NOT a good idea --- did I mention this is not a good idea?! I
don't really appreciate being used as bait.

JACK: (From van) Hang in there, Marty! And stop talking into your lapel.

MARTY: Oh, it's EASY for you guys, all nice and cozy back in your van eating
your crullers and your bear claws. (You can see men approaching him in
background) (Teal'C looks confused, Jack just shakes his head) I'm the one
standing out here, risking my --- (Into lapel) We got company!

DT: I must say, Martin, this is very disappointing. You stopped taking your
medication, didn't you?

MARTY: I'm not crazy, and you're not a psychiatrist. You see this? (Pointing
@ ship) This is what brought us here. I remember now!

DT: Martin. You've really made a mess of things this time. (He presses a
button, and the ship makes a humming sound, and lights up.)

MARTY: Nice van! What do you call that color? (Into lapel) KIND OF A
GREYISH-GREEN, HUH?!?!?!

MAN: Just get in!

JACK: All right, they're moving.

MARTY: So, you're gonna drug me again?

DT: Well, obviously, that didn't work. (Takes remote out of pocket) I'm
afraid we're gonna have to take more drastic measures.

MARTY: You're not gonna kill me? You know how many people know about this,
now? What about Major Carter and Doctor Jackson? Are you gonna kill all of
us?

DT: We're gonna do what we have to do.

MARTY: This isn't right. I know you. I know all of you. We were on this ship
together. We're soldiers, not murderers. That's why you drugged me in the
first place.

DT: Martin---

MARTY: It's not too late. Our people are at war. They need us.

DT: Martin, I hate to see you like this. You're my best agent.

MARTY: I was never any kind of agent! You're just saying that because you
think I'm bugged!

DT: Well, aren't you?

MARTY: NO! Of course not! The government agency thing, was just a cover.
(Infered shot of target moving on road) We're all really Aliens , right?

DT: With all the secretcy, and all the lies, you can get confused.

MARTY: Who's confused! I know who I am! Why are you guys doing this? Why
can't you just admit it? We can all just go home! THEY HAVE A STARGATE!

JACK: They've stopped. Get to them! (He cocks his gun)

Van and special ops crews arrive @ the warehouse.

JACK: (To driver of van) Seal off the area. No one in or out. (Jack and
Teal'C go in the warehouse, while the special ops teams stay outside.) (He
walks towards Sam and Danny, Sam is stirring) (Whispering) Carter?

SAM: (Groggy) Sir?

JACK: (Walking over to Sam, and grabbing her arm) You all right? (Digs in
his pocket, she nods yes) (Danny begins to wake up)

Teal'C has come around the van. Shot goes to his face thru the dirty glass.
He opens door, Marty is grunting. His mouth is bound with duct tape.

MARTY: Oh, Murrey! Am I glad to see you! Oh ---

JACK: Where are your friends?

MARTY: I'm not sure.

JACK: (Into radio) Sargent? Any sign of the targets?

SARGENT : (Thru radio) Negative , Sir!

JACK: They just disappeared?

MARTY: They're Aliens, right? I got evidence. Look.

JACK: What's that?

MARTY: A mobile computer device. I snuck it out of Tanner's bag. It has
multible functions, see? (It's beeping) Uh-Oh!

JACK: What?

MARTY: Guys, we'd better get out of here. This thing is counting down!!!!!

JACK: (Running out of the building) CLEAR THE AREA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Cool from
the bottom shot of Marty, Sam and Jack diving onto the cement) (After they
land, and NOTHING happens) Well?

MARTY: That's weird! I'm sure this is a countdown for some sort of
detination!

GREAT shot of Ship blowing up, creating a creater.

Shot of the chevrons locking.

MARTY: Exactly! This is just like I remembered!

SAM: Chevron 7 is locked!

DANNY: He was right! It's an active gate.

SAM: Sending the MALP thru.

MARTY: I remember EVERYTHING now! There WAS no malfunction!

JACK: What are you talking about?

MARTY: When we abandoned the ship, we did it deliberately. We were loosing
the war. We're deserters. After a while, I realized what we'd done wrong, I
wanted to go back home. But, the others were afraid.

JACK: So, they gave you the drugs?

MARTY: They're not --- bad guys. They're just hiding.

SAM: Receiving MALP telemetry.

MARTY: You're gonna hunt them down, aren't you?

JACK: Not me.

MARTY: But the military, the government?

JACK: I don't think anyone's gonna find them.

DANNY: GH Says you're a go.

MARTY: Really?

DANNY: Yeah , it's safe --- but, uh --- you're not gonna like it.

They go thru, and emerge on the other side. Everything is destroyed!

MARTY: They were right! If we'd gone back, we'd be dead now.

JACK: I'm sorry, Martin.

MARTY: So, now what?

JACK: We go home.

He begins dialing the gate ---

Episode 74 - "Scortched Earth"

We begin with a shot of children playing and running. It looks like an
Indian village with teepees and stuff. People and SG-1 are sitting at a
table.

LADY: Hundreds of villages like this one have paused to celebrate the
transportation of our people to this great new land. We are especially
honored (She grabs Jack's hand) today by the presence of those (Jack smiles)
Responsible for finding this planet for us. (Sam smiles) and saving us from
certain doom. How can we ever repay them?

MAN: By not boring them with long speeches, Hedrizar. (Everyone laughs)
(Jack smiles his yummy smile)

HEDRIZAR: I meant what I said. You are all heroes to my people.

JACK: It was our pleasure. (Jack and Sam both smile)

HEDRIZAR: When my grandchild arrives, it will be the first enkaran to be
born in outr new homeland. We will name the child after you, Colonel. (Jack
stops pouring his coffee, and looks @ Hedrizar. Sam's next to him looking at
him and smiling, Danny, and EVEN Teal'C are smiling)

PREGNANT WOMAN: Eliam, It's getting cold.

ELIAM: It seems to be getting colder every day since your last visit.

Sam goes into technobable about the cold conditions and the naquata reactor
to help with the heating of the village. Hedizar says some thing about
coming back next year and the whole planet will be transformed.

MAN: Help! Help me, please!

HADRIZAR: Who is it?

ELIAM: It is Caleb. He comes from the west.

CALEB: It's so big! It destroyed our whole village! You must all flee!

ELIAM: What are you talking about? Caleb! Catch your breath!

CALEB: It comes this way!

JACK: What does?

CALEB: You must see it. (Nice picture of stargate with mountains behind it.)
There.

JACK: Whoa!

They see a spaceship with what appears to be fire raining down from it!

ELIAM: What is it?

Shot of fire destroying everything in it's path!

OPENING CREDITS!

Back to the base. Sam says the ship looks 2 miles wide with the gasses
stretching 20 miles. There's no markings on the ship. Sam says in 26 hours
the ship will reach the village. But It will take out the stargate first.
The breathing conditions required by the encarans are specific and not found
on earth and many other planets.

Sam's in her lab looking thru a microscope. Jack and Danny walk in.

JACK: Hey. What da ya got?

SAM: The analysis of the atmosphere in the wake of the ship shows a high
incidence of sulpher dioxide.

JACK: Chemical warfare?

SAM: I don't think so, Sir. Take a look at this.

Jack looks in the microscope and sees little fuzzy balls moving around.

JACK: Oh, yeah . . . Little . . . fuzzy orange things.

SAM: They're microbes, Sir.

JACK: (Raises eyebrows) Ah!

SAM: The Alien ship is depositing them on the planet's surface. Now, as near
I can tell, they bond with sulpher leached out of the soil, and when they
decay, they release sulpher dioxide. (Danny takes off his glasses <yummy!>
and looks thru the microscope)

JACK: So, the big mean alien ship is tryin' to stink up the planet?

SAM: It's a little bit more than that, Sir. The microbes are only deposited
after the native organisms have been destroyed. I think they're meant to
replace them. Now, if my theory is correct, we could be looking at the first
building blocks of an alien ecosystem.

DANNY: It's a teriform?

SAM: It's changing the environment to support an entirely different form of
life - an organic system based on sulpher instead of carbon.

DANNY: But, if the ship is allowed to continue the process, the whole planet
will be remade?

SAM: All I know for sure is the planet on the other side of that energy
curtain will not surport life as we know it.

Back on the planet, Teal'C says the enkarens do not wish to leave. They know
that they would not have time to take every enkaren to earth. Even if they
do, the atmosphere on earth would not be able to surport their life for long
periods of time. They can not leave their people behind. They say that
generations ago, their ansesters were taken away from their home land by the
goa'uld in gient ships to their former world. They have searched for a new
world, and thanks to SG-1 they have found it. They must stay here and fight
for it.

JACK: With what?

ELIAM: Have you not weapons to aid us?

DANNY: We're gonna try to communicate with who ever's on that ship.

ELIAM: Clearly they intend to destroy us.

JACK: We don't know that for sure.

HELTIZAR: I know that if any of our people shall die, that we shall all die
here, together.

Sam's setting up some kind of equipment at the stargate. The men walk up to
her.

SAM: Transmitter is now operational, Sir. Let's hope we get a bite.

JACK: Think a well-place stinger would do some damage?

SAM: Well, we have no way of knowing what material the ship's made of , Sir.

TEAL'C: Or if it possesses shield technology.

JACK: Ah, just fantasizing.

DANNY: Any intelligence capiable of enginnering something like that should
be capiable of reason.

SAM: Thing is, will they listen?

JACK: Or the real question is, will they have ears?

A beam of light comes down and transfers SG-1 up to the ship.

DANNY: Somebody heard something.

TEAL'C: It appears to be a storage facility of some kind.

JACK: I'm going to assume we're on board that ship.

Jack look up. It looks like elevators on a 20 story hotel.

SAM: You know it's strange, the aliens went to so much trouble to change the
atmosphere of the planet, yet in here, it's perfectly breathable.

DANNY: They were expecting us.

Sam's touching the wall.

JACK: Carter . . .

SAM: Sir?

JACK: She we really be opening drawers and things?

Danny pressed into the wall, and a drawer opens, scaring him. Sam points her
guns @ it! LOL!

JACK: (To Danny) What did I just say?!

DANNY: Sorry. (He passes his hand over some writing on another drawer,
opening it as well! <g>)

SAM: (Picks up a petri dish) Looks like some kind of tissue sample.

JACK: Of what?

SAM: I'm not sure.

DANNY: The ship's terraforming the planet, right? What if these are the
lifeforms it's creating the new environment for?

SAM: Recreating an entire civilization.

DANNY: Millions of samples . . .

JACK: So, everyone of these things is uh . . . what . . . ?

DANNY: Plant, animal, insects.

JACK: Alien?

DANNY: Who knows.

SAM: It's still just a guess.

ROBOT: A good one! (Sam jumps, and turns, gun up.) I am Lotan. You need not
fear me.

JACK: Yeah . . . listen, um . . . what goin' on around here?

LOTAN: I have been assembled in order to facilitate communication between
this . . . ship as you call it, and yourselves.

JACK: Assembled, you say?

LOTAN: I am a biomechanical representation of the beings now occupying this
planet. When they were first encountered, several enkarens were scanned by
this ship, and a randomized, but similar appearance was selected.

SAM: Wait a minute! That was yesterday! The ship annalized a new life form
and created a replica in one day?!

LOTAN: Yes. (Looking @ his hands) Facinating design.

DANNY: I suppose that explains why you look like an enkaren.

JACK: Sort of.

LOTAN: (Taking a step closer. Sam, who is closest to him raises her gun) You
are not.

DANNY: Uh . . . No, we're from a planet called earth.(Pointing to each) This
is Major Samantha Carter, I'm Daniel Jackson, Jack O'Neill, and this is
Teal'C.

JACK: Actually, we're friends of the people your ship seems bent on wiping
out.

LOTAN: Yes, that is unfortunate. I was created to deliver a message to them.
However, by the time I was completed, the enkarens in the immediate vicinity
seemed to have disappeared.

JACK: You see, that's called runnin' away. What one does to avoid being
slaughtered.

DANNY: There are still quite a few enkarens living on the planet.

LOTAN: Since you are friends of the Enkarens, would you deliver a message to
them?

JACK: THAT would depend.

LOTAN: When the transfirmation process was begin, there were no life forms
present.

JACK: Well, there are now.

LOTAN: Yes, unfortunally for your friends, once the process has begun, it
must be completed.

JACK: So, someone went to the trouble of making you just to tell those
people "tough luck, Get out?"

LOTAN: We wish no harm to come to the enkarens. However, upon examination of
their physiology, we have determined that they would not be able to exist in
the planet's transformed environment.

JACK: So, stop transforming.

DANNY: Jack, they're just trying to get their point across in the best way
possible.

JACK: I know what the point is! He's a PR guy! I think we should be talking
to your boss.

LOTAN: Assumption of Higher Archal Command Structure! Interesting. Follow
me. (Sam looks back at Jack, who after about 10 seconds, gives her the go
ahead.) The ship is fully automated. The beings that built it are called
Gad-Meer.
(You see some sort od alien)

JACK: Not exactly ET.

LOTAN: They placed all of their knowledge in the ship's memory. Science,
Mathmatical, Medical science, arts, philosophy. 10,000 years, this
civilization. This is their legacy. They were a very asvanced race compared
to the enkarens. However, they were also peaseful. And fell victim to a
surperior military power. So they built this ship in the hopes that their
world would be born again from the reach of their enemies.

DANNY: This is fascinating. I'd like a chance to study some of them.

LOTAN: I can provide you with translations. Your language is simple by
comparison.

JACK: Excuse me. About why we're here . . .

LOTAN: The ship has only enough raw material to transform one planet. Now
that it has began, it must be finished here. Or the entire Gad-Meer
civilization will be lost forever. The enkarens must leave, or they will
die.

JACK: Alright, now see, there we got a problem.

TEAL'C: The enkarens can not leave.

SAM: Their lives depend on the very rare and unique conditions unique to
this planet.

LOTAN: That is unfortunate.

JACK: That's it?!

LOTAN: Please explain the situation to the Enkarens.

SG-1 is transported down. Jack tells the enkarens that it did not go well.

Back to base. Sam explains to GH that the aliens need the same conditions as
the enkarens to do the transformation. The team try to figure out what to
do, to no avail Danny thinks that Lotan can be sympathetic to the enkarens.
Jack
wants to pose a military strike. GH says he can't. To find another way out
of it.

Back to the planet. Jack tell Hedrizar, she can save her people, She refuses
to leave. Eliam asks if they have any way to stop the ship. Jack turns to
Sam.

JACK: (His hands are shaking. He looks nervous) How much Naquadah is in that
reactor we gave em?

SAM: Sir?

DANNY: What are you doing?

JACK: THINKING, Daniel. Don't worry about it too much.

DANNY: Thinking of a way to blow up the ship?! I don't think that's what
General Hammond had in mind!

JACK: They're gonna stand there, and die. It's a no win situation. We're not
gonna sit around, and watch these people get slaughtered!!!

DANNY: And, you're willing to blow up that ship to . . .

JACK: Give me another choice!

DANNY: Well, I don't have one at the moment.

JACK: Apparently, time is a factor here. (He looks at Sam) How do you make a
naquatah bomb?

SAM: (Reluctcly) Well, sir, the reactor was created spacifacally to prevent
that kind of . . .

JACK: Carter . . . .

SAM: Theoretically, if I created a feedback loop, the energy would build up
instead of being released. It would be a big explosion, Sir.

JACK: Big enough?

SAM: I think so.

JACK: Carter, I'm making a choice to help these people. But if you don't
make that bomb, I'm out of options.

SAM: (Quietly) I know.

JACK: So I have to order you to do it.

SAM: (She looks at him for a few seconds, then away) Yes, Sir.

Next shot to the bomb.

JACK: How controlled is this gonna be?

SAM: The focas of the blast will be aimed upwards. This ridge should protect
the village, but this is as close as I would put it. I modified this remote
to start the feedback loop. About a minute after you press the button, it
will overload and blow.

JACK: Ship's ETA?

SAM: About 5-o minutes Sir. We should detinate before it's directly
overhead.

JACK: OK.

SAM: There's one more thing, Sir. Once you detinate, there's no turning
back.

JACK: All right.

Daniel is going talk to Lotan. He tell Lotan that the enkarens have no where
to go. He tries to get Lotan to consiter the enkaren's plight. He tries to
talk Lotan into meeting the enkarens.

Back to Jack and Sam. They are arriving on the shore. They start walking
back to the village.

SAM: Sir, no disrespect intended, but, I'm having doubt as to whether we're
doing the right thing.

JACK : What is that, Carter? The right thing? These people, they depend on
us. What else are we gonna do?

SAM: I don't know!

They stop walking, and turn toward each other.

JACK: You wanna talk me out of this?!

SAM: Yes, Sir!

They look at each other for a few second, then she holds up the remote. He
grabs the remote , touching her hand.( accidently?)

JACK: Stay in contact.

SAM: Yes, Sir.

Daniel and Lotan are walking. Lotan looks at trees , kinda freaking out.

TEAL'C: DanielJackson has gone to speak with Lotan.

JACK: Did you try to stop him?

TEAL'C: I do not disagree with his intentions.

JACK: You do know we're gonna blow up that ship?

TEAL'C: I am aware of that, as is DanielJackson.

JACK: (Into radio) Daniel . . . Daniel, come in.

DANNY: I read ya Jack.

JACK: (Normal voice) Tell me, (Screaming) TELL ME YOU'RE NOT ON THAT
SHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DANNY: OK, I'm not on the ship.

JACK: What are you doing, Daniel?

DANNY: I'm talking to Lotan.

JACK: He's gonna tell him about the bomb?

TEAL'C: He said he would not reveal our plan.

SAM: (Standing in the stargate) Sir, we only have 15 minutes.

JACK: Daniel, do you KNOW what time it is?!

DANNY: I am trying to give you another choice.

JACK: WHAT?!

DANNY: Hang on, we're on our way back to the village. Over & Out!

LOTAN: You have disobeyed your superior.

DANNY: No, not exactly.

LOTAN: You are not fulfilling your function, Daniel Jackson.

DANNY: See, that's not true. I'm just using the best way to fulfill my true
fuction. Some times command structures don't allow you to see all options.

LOTAN: I see.

DANNY: Let's go to the village.

They are transported to the village.

JACK: DANIEL?!?!?!

DANNY: Lotan wanted to meet the enkarens.

SAM: 10 minutes, Sir.

ELIAM: Hello, DR. Jackson.

DANNY: Hello, Eliam. This is Lotan.

ELIAM: He looks enkaren, but I have never met him.

DANNY: Lotan is a representative of the aliens who built the ship. He was
created in your image to better communicate the ships mission and the danger
you are in.

ELIAM: And yet he does not stop it!

DANNY: Lotan, this is Eliam. This is his wife Nika and Hedrazar, the leader
of the village.

Hedrazar, being blind, looks at him with her fingers.

HEDRAZAR: Are you now able to see the lives your ship would extinguish if it
continues on it's current path?

DANNY: Yes, Lotan is aware of that.

LOTAN: She is without sight. (He puts his fingers up to her eyes, and she
flintches.)

DANNY: It's something that was happening to them on the planet when we first
met. They were dying. This is the only planet we could find where they could
survive.

LOTAN: I am aware of their physiological needs.

DANNY: Yes, of course.

LOTAN: That one is going to give birth.

DANNY: Yes, to a new enkaren life.

ELIAM: There will be no Enkaren life at all if your ship does not stop.

JACK: All right! I think we're all aware of the situation.

LOTAN: I see you brought me here to alisid sympathy for these people.

DANNY: Well, actually, they're your people in a way, Lotan. You were created
in their image.

LOTAN: I was not created to prevent their demise, Daniel Jackson.

DANIEL: But, don't you wish you could?

LOTAN: The ship calls me back.

DANNY: Why?

LOTAN: I must go.

DANNY: Take me with you.

JACK : No, Daniel. NO!

They're gone.

SAM: 5 minutes, Sir.

JACK: Lotan just took Daniel up into the ship.

SAM: WHAT?! Sir -

JACK: He ASKED to go.

SAM: What are we gonna do, Sir? The ship's almost in position.

Back in the ship.

LOTAN: The ship has detected an unusual device. It appears to be capeable of
emiting great amounts of energy. Is this device intended to try and stop the
ship, as the enkaren names Eliam suggested?

DANNY: Look, Lotan, I don't agree with what they're doing, but I also don't
want to see you wipe out those people.

LOTAN: They will not leave. There is no other option.

SAM: The ship is in position, Sir. If you're gonna do it, you have to do it
now.

TEAL'C: DanielJackson has made his choice, O'Neill.

JACK: (Thinking about It for a good 20 seconds) *Somberly * Yeah. (He
presses the button , confliction emotions on his face)

The bomb activates.

LOTAN: The device has entered an active state.

DANNY: Lotan, if you wanted to, can you stop this ship?

LOTAN: As I have said . . .

DANNY: Yes, I , I, I, know what you said - it's not about what you want.
Just please, answer the question, Can you STOP this ship?

LOTAN: It would be possible, yes.

DANNY: OK, then think about this. Think about the people down there. All the
life that you will be destroying.

LOTAN: I am programmed to serve the life on this ship.

DANNY: You say that they were an advanced civilization, 10,000 years of
history.

LOTAN: Yes.

DANNY: They had laws, justice?

LOTAN: Yes.

DANNY: A respect for life?

LOTAN: Yes.

DANNY: Then how can their world be recreated with an act of mass murder?
Wouldn't that be a betrayel of everything they stood for? You said you were
made to communicate. You're not here simply to serve life on this ship,
you're here for the integraty of life on this ship. There's a big
difference. Are you really fulfilling your true function?

SAM: 60 seconds to detination. To the side of her, you can see the ship
stopping the fire.

TEAL'C: The ship has stopped O'Neill.

SAM: Daniel must have gotten thru to him.

JACK: Daniel, if you can hear me, you've got 30 seconds. 3-0 over?

DANNY: Um . . . about that device.

LOTAN: It is still active?

DANNY: Yes. Can you do anything about that? (Lotan brings the bomb up to the
ship)

LOTAN: Do you know how to deactivate it?

DANNY: No.

LOTAN: Intreaging design.

DANNY: Yeah. Lotan, we really don't have time for this!

LOTAN: How much time do we have?

SAM: 5 . . . 4 . . . 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .(The bomb is shot out of the
ship and explodes in the air.)

HEDRIZAR: What? What is going on? (Remember, she's blind?)

ELIAM: The ship remains.

LOTAN: A powerful explosive.

DANNY: We were despirate.

LOTAN: The conflict remains unresolved. I must eventually resume the
transfirmation.

DANNY: I know.

LOTAN: Many millions of planets were scanned to match the right conditions
for the transfirmation. Only one met the specifications.

DANNY: Just out of curiosity, were any others even close?

LOTAN: 2,634 paremitors had to be met.

DANNY: But what about for the enkarens?

LOTAN: I do not understand.

DANNY: Maybe they don't need exactly the same environment. Do any match the
needs of the enkarens?

LOTAN: Here. This planet would be appropriate for the enkarens. I regret
that I didn't conciter this possibility.

DANNY: Well, you would have gotten there eventually.

LOTAN: This planet was rejected by the ship because 3 of the paremiters were
not met. The core temerature was too warm, it was too large, and there were
intelligent life forms already present.

DANNY: Intelligent life forms?

LOTAN: Based on the description, I'd believe they were enkaren.

Daniel and Lotan tell the enkarens that they found the enkaren home world.

JACK: He's telling us this NOW?!

DANNY: He didn't know. He's only a day and a half old, give him a break.

They decide to take the space ship to the home world. Lotan will stay with
the enkarens.

The End

Episode #75 - "Beneath the Surface"

We begin with what can only be called "Muscle-man's quarters" . <g> Buff men
with bods like Teal'C are waking up. (Yummy!) An Alarm sounds. (Some sort of
Revallie?) Teal'C sits up, and looks around. SHIRTLESS!!!!! <g> He stands up
and walks away. There's a lady there, too I just noticed. Lucky her! Shot
goes up to a skylight then pans down a few levels to a gathering of people.
A lady walks up to a platform.

LADY: Collegues! (A newly short haired Sam looks up. She looks good! Her
hair is cut up to her ears in kind of a shag cut. Her hair falls in layers
over her face. It's a very popular haircut for the ladies here in the
states! Jack with what looks like a stocking on his head **LOL!** looks up)
You're attention, please! I'm pleased to report that thanks to your hard
work, We now have enough reserve energy to heat the greenhouses for the next
2 months! Special merit to the workers of section 23. (Sam and some men put
there hands up and cheer. Teal'C cocks his head - you know the look
right?-- ) Let us use this not as an excuse to work less, but as motivation
to work harder. (Jack looks like he's in a trance) Our world may be covered
in ice, but one day we will(Teal'c still has the look!) reclaim our place on
the surface!

ALL: (Shot goes to Jack) <Stoic and monotone, robotic sounding voices> IT IS
AN HONOR TO SERVE! (Shot goes to Danny, whom I didn't recognize @ first. OH!
Ladies! Can you say yummy? No glasses, hair kinda messed up . . . you look
up yummy in the encyclapedia, you'd find a pic of MS from this episode . . .
And I'm NOT Exagrating!)

Lady on platform leaves, Sam goes to get her food. Pretty black lady dumps
some sloppy looking stuff on Sam's plate. She gives her a very dirty look.

SAM: Kegan, how about some bread?

KEGAN: (Sarcastically) Sorry, just gave away the last piece.

JACK: Oh, here we go! Every time . . .

SAM: What is your problem?

KEGAN: I don't have a problem!

SAM: And we don't have any bread.

DANNY: (To Jack) Is there a problem here?

JACK: (To Danny) Stay out of this.

DANNY: Jona, there are other people waiting.

JACK: GIVE HER THE DAMN BREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Jack grabs at Kegan, then takes
Danny down in some wrestling move that I can't remember. He flips him over
his head. Just remembered the move! Belly to belly suplex!)

LADY: Somebody stop them!

Teal'C see this, and grabs Jack, pulling him off of Danny, holding him back
with his big arms. (Oh! To be Jack at that moment! **Clears throat** Where
was I ? OH! Yeah!)

TEAL'C: This is not right! The two of you are friends, O'Neill!

JACK: Stay out of this!

TEAL'C: We are part of something called SG-1! (Danny has an adorable
confused look on his face) I am Teal'C! Do you not remember?!

JACK: (Struggling) Somebody get this guy off me!

WOMAN FROM PLATFORM: Get him upstairs.

TEAL'C: (Being restrained by THREE men!) We don't belong here! You must
remember! We must escape!!!!

JACK: (To lady from platform) Brenna . . . It is my honor to serve. I don't
know that man.

BRENNA: I know, Jona, don't worry. He's nightsick. (To Kegan) Give Therra
her bread. (Kegan reluctically grabs a full trey of bread and throws it down
on the table.) Everyone finish, then back to work. (Shot to confused looking
Jack)

OPENING CREDITS!

KEGAN: These pumps regulate the overflow. Sometimes, they get clogged, and
you have to . . . Carlin?!

DANNY: (In reference to Teal'C) Where has he been for the last 5 days?

KEGAN: Recovering from Nightsickness. It's a strange thing. There was this
guy once, a couple years ago, tried to smash his way thru one of those
skylights.

DANNY: Did he do it?

KEGAN: You would have known if he had! This place would have been buried
under snow and ice along with everyone else.

DANNY: Right.

Shot goes to Jack hammering on something. Teal'C walks up to him . . . and
past him. Jack looks at Teal'C. A gasket blows on the generator Sam's
working on.

MAN: Stay back.

SAM: Cover those valves!

BRENNA: What happened?

SAM: One of the stabilizers ruptured. They can't stand the pressure.

BRENNA: There's not much we could do.

SAM: Actually, I think there is. If we set up an automatic release valve on
each of the stabilizers, we could vent the excess pressure. I've done some
calculations. If you want I could show you.

BRENNA: You can come by my office later.

Brenna leaves, and Sam looks at Jack. She nods her head, and smiles. He nods
his head, and turns away, looking back at her. She turns and walks away.

Later, she walks by him working. He gets in step with her.

JACK: You all right?

SAM: Fine.

JACK: That explosion . . .

SAM: OH! No, no. I'm fine, really.

JACK: Good.

SAM: Brenna wants to see me. She wants to hear my ideas for improving the
plant.

JACK: You know, you could take a few minutes off. (Sam gives him her 1
million kilowatt smile)

SAM: Please. You work just as hard as I do.

JACK: That's different. It's called "stamina".

SAM: (Laughs again) Have a good shift.

JACK: (Watching her leave) Right . . .

KEGAN: (Watching Sam as she walks on the platform, then enters Brenna's
office) There she goes. Why does Brenna listen to her?

DANNY: I don't know. She seems pretty smart.

KEGAN: She thinks she's better than the rest of us . . . (Looking @ Jack)
They both do.

DANNY: Teal'C said we were friends.

KEGAN: His name's not Teal'C. It's Tor. Nightsickness.

Next shot, the gate activating.

TECH. DAVIS: Sir, we're ready with the video link to P3R-118.

GH: Very well.

Man comes on TV screen.

GH: Administrator Calder . . .

CALDER: General Hammond. I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but our search
has turned up nothing. Given the hostile conditions outside the dome, I
don't see how SG-1 could have survived very long.

GH: With all due respect, Administrator, I'm not ready to give up on my
people just yet. We have specialized equipment, and people spacifically
trained for this type of operation.


CALDER: When Major Carter first expressed an interest in exploring the
glacier, I tried to explain the danger, but Colonel O'Neill was quite overly
confident that they could handle the conditions.

GH: I appreciate your concern. I assure you, I will take full
responsibility.

CALDER: Very well. (He nods, then transmission is stopped) Tell Brenna I
want to see her tomorrow. I'd like to know how our new workers are doing.

Next shot, Danny in the gate room with the wormhole established. He's in his
clothes from the planet, not SG-1 uniform. He looks @ the shimmering puddle.
Jack walks up. He turns toward Danny.

JACK: Go ahead.

DANNY: Go Where?

JACK: To the other side.

KEGAN: (Wal ks up) Don't listen to him. (Danny looks toward Jack . . . Then
wakes up)

Back to gateroom.

GH: Major, What's your Status?

MAJOR: (Screaming ) (In a blizzard) We've launched the UAV, we're receiving
telemetry now! But I have to tell you, Sir. It doesn't look good! This place
is pretty nasty!

Shot goes to yummy shirtless shot of Teal'C putting coal from a wheelbarrel
to a fire. Danny walks up to him. Teal'C has a bandage around where "Junior"
Is.

DANNY: What happened?

TEAL'C: I was injured.

DANNY: When?

TEAL'C: Why are you speaking to me?

DANNY: I just thought . . . since, apparently, we're friends from way back,
I just though that . . . what is that THING on your forehead?

TEAL'C: A birthmark.

DANNY: A birthmark! (Sarcastically) You'd think I'd remember something like
that.

TEAL'C: I don't know you.

DANNY: You said you did . . . (Walks over to the Jaffa) Last week during
morning lineup.

TEAL'C: I wasn't here last week.

DANNY: You said we were friends, and you said we had to escape, and I'd like
an explination.

TEAL'C: I said no such thing!

DANNY: All right. I'm obviously completely wrong about that.

TEAL'C: Yes. Don't talk to me again.

DANNY: Yeah, right. (Walks over to Kegan)

KEGAN: I told you to leave him alone!

DANNY: He was there, Kegan. You heard him. Why would he deny that?!

KEGAN: The nightsickness affects your mind.

DANNY: That doesn't explain the dreams I've had. Something is wrong here,
Kegan. Somethings not ri . . .

KEGAN: Carlin -- It's bad enough he named you as part of his delusion. Now,
if people hear you talking like this , there gonna think you're night sick.

DANNY: People?

KEGAN: Not that I would ever -- Carlin -

DANNY: No, no, no! Of course not. (Laughs) It's just a dream. (She puts her
hand on his shoulder, then thru his hair, and back to his shoulder - lucky
girl! <g> Grab them muscles, girlfriend! OK! I'll stop now!)

Shot goes to a domed city surrounded by ice.

CALDER: (To Brenna) Why didn't the memory stamp work on Teal'C?

BRENNA : I'm sure it was the creature his species has within him. We've
stamped him again. This time it seems to be holding.

CALDER: What about the other?

BRENNA: They're all proven to be excellent workers. In fact, Therra has some
ideas for improving the plant.

CALDER: Therra?

BRENNA: The personality we've stamped Major Carter with.(She gives him the
papers.) We've been having problems with pressure, she suggested an
automated release valve. If we didn't have to regulate the pressure
manually, we'd free up workers for other tasks.

CALDER: (Sarcastically) Maybe one day she could increase productivity to the
point where we don't even need workers.

BRENNA: What would be so wrong with that?

CALDER: (BOY is he a sarcastic one! <g>) Nothing. I'm sure they'd fit right
in. Of course, they don't even know the city exists.

BRENNA: We could tell them.

CALDER: That they've been lied to all their lives? And how would the people
of the city react? When there was lest to go around, and they had to make
room for --- workers? Right now, in our city, Brenna, we have no crime. No
unemployment ---

BRENNA: But---

CALDER: They're happy--- where they are. That's what the stamp assures. Do
only what is necessary to guarantee uninterrupted power.

BRENNA: Yes, Administrator ---

Sam knocks on the door to Brenna's office.

SAM: Have you had a chance to look over my plans yet? I'd like to get
started ---

BRENNA: We can't do the improvements.

SAM: But, you said ---

BRENNA: No, they would require the generators to be offline too long. If
they begin to freeze we might not be able to get them started again.

SAM: I agree there's some risk ---

BRENNA: Too much risk.

SAM: Well, OK! What about my other ideas?

BRENNA: I'm sorry. This plant is all that stands between us and the ice.
Uninterrupted production is more important than efficientcy. You may return
to work.

SAM: Brenna, I know you were excited about this, what happened?

BRENNA: Well, I've thought it over.

SAM: At least let me come up with a safer way ---

BRENNA: Therra --- please leave.

SAM: It's my honor to serve. (She leaves) (Later to Jack) It's not like I'm
making this up off the top of my head! I've got a detailed plan including
the safeguards.

JACK: I'm sure she knows that.

SAM: I could make a difference here! She won't even let me.

JACK: (He walks toward her) Just go back to her in a couple days, offer
something small. Maybe you gotta work into the big stuff.

SAM: How do you stay so calm?

JACK: I think in another life, I handled dangerous explosives. I don't know.

SAM: (Smiles) What do you mean in another life?

JACK: I don't mean anything by it. Just an expression, isn't it? (She shrugs
her shoulders)

Back to gateroom. Men are coming thru the gate dressed in heavy coats.

GH: Major?

MAJOR (The one from the first ones): I'm sorry sir, there's no sign of them.

GH: I understand. You and your team have been out there a long time.

MAJOR: No, Sir. When I says there's no sign , I mean literally, not a trace!

GH: What are you saying, Major?

MAJOR: I can't imagine what scientific reason Major Carter or Doctor Jackson
would have to want to check out those ice fields. Even if they wanted to go
up there, there's no way in Hell Colonel O'Neill would have let them.

GH: According to Administrator Calder --- Colonel O'Neill believed the risk
was acceptiable.

MAJOR: I can't speak for that, Sir, I'm not a diplimat.

GH: Off the record ---

MAJOR: They're not out there, Sir. No way!

GH: Administrator Calder says they are.

MAJOR: Then I'd say he's a damn lier!

GH nods his head and motions for the major to pass by him. (I guess
dismissing him) He looks pissed!

Kegan is putting water on her neck.

DANNY: Kegan, I need to ask you something. How did I get here?

KEGAN: What do you mean how'd you get here? You were transferred from the
mines.

DANNY: No, before that.

KEGAN: (Scoffs) Before?

DANNY: Yes.

KEGAN: You don't remember?

DANNY: I keep --- thinking about it, and all I come up with is a handful of
memories.

KEGAN: What is this about, anyway?

DANNY: I'm just wondering if Jona and Therra were ever my friends.

KEGAN: <Sighs> Friends ---

DANNY: Maybe I don't recognize them because it was years ago ---

KEGAN: They are just trying to get close to Brenna so that they could get
special treatment. Especially Therra.

DANNY : Look, all I'm saying ---

KEGAN: All I'm saying --- is that if you're friends with those two ---
you're not mine.

Danny watches her walk away. Nice shoulders on that boy. OK! I'll stop! <g>

Next shot goes to Teal'C turning a valve. He looks sick.. (MMN! Nice muscle
action shot when he's turning the valve) He faints. The pressure gauge is
showing a rise.Two men come to help.

MAN: Pressure's too high! Pipes are hot!

SECOND MAN: We're too late! This whole section's gonna blow! Help me get him
out of here!

First man pulls the whistle. The 2 men drag Teal'C out.

SAM: What's going on?

MAN: Pressure overload.

SAM: We've gotta fix it!

MAN: It's too late. We have to evacuate.

Danny walks up.

DANNY: What's happening?

SAM: If that boiler blows, it'll take this whole section with it. Now, I can
shut it off from here, but somebody's gotta get back there and open the
primary release valve.

KAGEN: Carlin!

DANNY: Get these people out of here!

KAGEN: Get out of here! CLOSE THIS SECTRIION!!!!!!!!!!

Jack is trying to move lever with his hands. It's too hot.

DANNY: Here! (Danny & Jack bang on lever with poles) They release the
pressure.

JACK: Hey! (They bond, Hold hands, touch hand --- you know!)

TEAL'C: (Lying in a bed <g>)< To Brenna > I must return to my duties.

BRENNA: (Holding him down) I want you to rest! Stay here until I say you're
well enough to work. (To the rest of SG-1) As for you 3, we all owe you a
debt of gratitude. You risked your lives to save the plant.

DANNY&SAM: It is my honor to serve.

JACK: Right.

BRENNA: If it hadn't been for your quick action, many lives would have been
lost.

SAM: Next time will be different.

BRENNA: Hopefully, there won't be a next time.

SAM: If you had listened to me in the first place ---

BRENNA: (Stern voice) Therra! (Jack looks @ Sam) You're dismissed.

Sam leaves. Jack gives Brenna a dirty look and leaves.

JACK: Next time, don't hold back. You know, just - speak your mind.

SAM: She knows I'm right!

DANNY: There's something else going on. (The 3 look around) <Lowered voice>
The big nightsick guy with the uh --- (Points to forhead)

SAM: Tor.

DANNY: (Still looking around) He said we were part of something called SG-1.

JACK: Yeah, what is that?

SAM: A team?

JACK: What kind of a name is that for a team?

DANNY: I don't know. Look I just think I'm supposed to be doing something
more important.

SAM: We're helping our people survive an ice age.

JACK What could be more important than that?

DANNY: I don't know. Look, I just have this feeling that all of us are part
of some bigger, grander thing.

JACK: (Looks @ Sam, who looks @ him) Well, I certinally understand what
you're talking about.

DANNY: You do?

JACK: No.

DANNY: Look, I don't know how to explain this, but I had this --- dream. You
were in it.

JACK: Me?

DANNY: There was this big --- glowing --- puddle.

JACK: OK! Just stop talking right now!

SAM: Wait a second , Jona. I had the same dream.

JACK: Would you two stop talking like that, for cryin' out loud? (Sam and
Danny both look @ Jack funny) (Noticing their looks, he says) It's an
expression, right?

DANNY: Look, we can't talk right now, let's meet after lights out. (He
leaves leaving Jack and Sam to look @ each other shrugging their shoulders.)

Next shot - yummy, ladies, Danny in bed. He gets up. Jack is sitting on the
ground when he arrives at the same time as Sam.

DANNY: So ---

SAM: So?

DANNY: Did you have the same dream?

JACK: About you?

SAM: NO, About the shimmering circle of water.

JACK: No. My dreams are about --- (looks at Sam) other things.

DANNY: Tor said we had to escape. He also said we had to remember. Remember
what?

JACK: Well, I remember when I was a foreman, anyone caught doing what we're
doing right now, had their rations cut in half for a month.

SAM: We'll have to risk it.

DANNY: What if our memories have been somehow altered?

SAM: Well, if that's true, then we can't be sure of anything.

JACK: My memory's fine.

DANNY: (Sarcastically) Really?

JACK: Yeah.

DANNY: What did you do in the mines?

JACK: (Sarcastically) I mined.

DANNY: No, What did you DO?

JACK: I remember shoveling ore into a cart.

DANNY: And?

JACK: I did that a lot.

Jack and Danny look at each other confused.

SAM: I remember a feeling of cold and darkness.

DANNY: And that's where the 2 of you met?

JACK: Yeah.

SAM: (Looks at Jack) Really?

JACK: (Looks back) Sure. (Sam Thinks --- hard) (To Danny) So, what's this
important thing we're supposed to be doing?

DANNY: I told you. I don't know. I keep trying to remember, but all I come
up with are images of this place.

SAM: But if you're right, then everything we remember about this place is a
lie.

DANNY: Yeah, like a façade. It only works if we don't dig too deep beneath
the surface, if we don't question it. So, that's what we have to do. We have
to question everything, every assumption.

SAM: We have to keep this to ourselves. If the others heard us talking this
way, they'd think we were night sick.

JACK: What if We ARE night sick!

SAM: I don't think so, SIR.

DANNY: What?

SAM: What?

DANNY: You just called Jona 'Sir'.

SAM: ( picks up her head, and looks at Jack. Jack raises his eyebrows.)
Well, it's an expression --- isn't it?

Next shot, the control room. GH's looking down onto the empty gate.

JANET: Sir --- I have those medical reports we were waiting for. Major Griff
did suffer some minor frostbite, but the rest of his team is fine.

GH: Thank you, Doctor.

JANET: (Walks over to GH) Any word from the planet?

GH: I spoke to Administrator Calder about that . He regretfully informed me
that his search of the city turned up nothing.

JANET: So, that's it?

GH: Short of going to war, all we can do is break off diplomatic relation.
I'm not artherized to do that just yet.

JANET: I take it they have something we want?

GH: They're quite advanced in mettallergical and chemical technologies.


JANET: We must have something they want, or they wouldn't've proposed trade.

GH: Stargate technology. Gate addresses.

JANET: Oh, I understand that. They're surrounded by ice.

GH: Far as I'm concerned, they need us a hell of a lot more than we need
them. Apparently Adm. Calder doesn't seem to think so. I think he likes
things just the way they are.

JANET: Doesn't leave you with many options, does it, Sir?

GH: No, it doesn't. Which is why I've asked Major Griff to draw up covert
search and rescue plans.

JANET: Well, if you're looking for volunteers ---

GH: Thank you, Doctor. I'll keep that in mind.


Next shot goes to Kagen smiling as she puts the slop in Danny's bowl. Jack
and Sam are eating. Danny gives Sam his bread. (Awww, what a gentleman! <g>)

JACK: Anymore dreams?

DANNY: I saw that pool of light again, except this time we were all there.
Including TOR.

JACK: I dreamed about mining --- naked. (Puts the slop on bread in his
mouth.) (Sam looks at Jack)

DANNY: Therra?

SAM: Um --- a lot of numbers and letters keep popping into my mind. SG-1,
DHD, GDO ---

DANNY: Sounds like gibberish to me.

SAM: Well, it must mean something.

JACK: Excuse me? (To a man eating from a white bowl. Motions for the man to
switch bowls with him. Man's bowl is empty. They switch, man starts eating
Jack's food.)

SAM: Jona? (Jack's looking at the upside down bowl)

JACK: (Puts bowl on desk) That means something.

SAM: What is it?

JACK: I don't know yet. (Jack remembers being in Calder's office looking out
at the DOMED city.) Very impressive. (Shot goes back to bowl, and Jack's
confused look.)

Danny puts his plate in tray.

KEGAN: I see you've made some new friends.

DANNY: Yeah.

KEGAN: Carlin ---

DANNY: I'm sorry, Kegan. (She looks distressed as he walks away)

Shot goes to our favorite Jaffa laying on his back. (yummy)

MAN: I don't understand, his condition's getting worse. Let me check his
wound. (He reaches for the bandage covering 'Junior', and Brenna grabs his
hand)

BRENNA: Under no circumstasnce are you to remove those bandages. Just make
sure he continues to eat and drink. (Teal'C is sweating. The man leaves to
check another man, and Teal'C opens his eyes! Uh-oh! <g> He looks around,
kinda smirks, then starts to remove his bandage!)

Jack and Sam are sitting next to each other on the floor. His hands are
crossed in front of him, hers are hugging her knees.

JACK: I remember something. (She looks @ him) There's a man. He's bald and
wears a short-sleeved shirt, and somehow he's very important to me. I think
his name is Homer.

SAM: Doesn't ring a bell.

JACK: You?

SAM: Just a lot of vague images.

Jack looks away from her, and smiles a nervous smile. She looks up at him,
and puts her head on his shoulder.

SAM: You know, there are things about this place that I like.

JACK: (Looks at her) Really?

She looks back and smiles slightly. He kinda puts his head up and looks into
space with his mouth open. There's no words, but it looks like he says "OH!"
He looks back down on her face, she's looking away.

JACK: (10 seconds later) Would it mean anything if I told you I remember
something else?

SAM: What?

JACK: Feelings.

SAM: Feelings?

JACK: I remember feeling --- feelings.

SAM: (Smiles) For me?

JACK: No, for TOR. (Sam Laughs, and shifts her head to rest closer to him) I
don't remember much, but I DO remember that.

SAM: So---

JACK: So--- I'm just saying. (She looks up at his face, he look away)

SAM: (Looking away) Well, then I feel better. (They both look very confused)

Shot goes to beautiful shot of the doamed city at night.

BRENNA: (To Calder) For some reason, TOR seems to be having an adverse
reaction to the memory stamp. I-I think he may ne dying.

CALDER: Workers die. What about his friends?

BRENNA: I've received a report. They are gathering together in secret.
Administrator, I think they are starting to remember. Their brain chemistry
is slightly different than ours --- that could be the reason. But we can
restamp them.

CALDER: No. No, I think it's time they found out what it's like out side.

BRENNA: All they really did was disapprove of our treatment of the workers.

CALDER: No, NO! No, they did much more than disapprove. They passed
judgement on us, Brenna. I'm simply doing the same.

BRENNA: Yes, Sir.

CALDER: Brenna, if for some reson, you can comply with my orders -

BRENNA: It's my honor to serve, Administrator.

CALDER(Smiles) Yes, it is. (He turns and looks out the window to the city)

Shot goes to Jack waking up and looking at the white bowl. He puts it down
on the bed, and looks at it upside down. The city appears in it. Flashback .

JACK( His clothes suddenly change from the thick shirt that he's been
wearing to the YUMMY! Black shirt) Very impressive. (Indeed! <g>) Too bad,
it's a lie! (OOPS! He forgot to shave before that scene! I don't think GH
let him out with the stubble on his face! <g>) [ OK! Moving on!]

CALDER: I don't understand.

JACK: While we were on the grand tour, Carter spotted some ventilation
shafts coming out of apparently no where. We checked it out.

CALDER: You were supposed to stay with your escort.

JACK: Yeah. I see how you wouldn't want out siders to know about your little
slave labor forse underground.

CALDER: They are merely workers.

JACK: And what made them so worthy of that?

CALDER: Colonel ---

JACK: Administrator --- I will NOT recommend trade with a culture that
enslaves it's own people. I don't care what technology you have to offer.

CALDER: This system of government has allowed our culture to survive an ice
age.

JACK: Tell me --- what's the secret? Starvation? Fortune? What?

CALDER: Our methods are quite --- civilized.

JACK: (Sarcastically, and looking so good with the stubble) Really?!

CALDER: Yes. In fact, I'll show you.

Buzzer sounds waking Jack up. He puts the bowl under his pillow. He walks
over to Sam.

JACK: (TOUCHING HER HAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Therra, I think I know what's going
on.

MAN: Jona, Therra. Report to Brenna's quarters.

MAN WHO WAS LOOKING AFTER TEAL'C: What is it? (As another 2 men are moving
Teal'C) What are you doing.

ONE OF THE MOVERS: We've got orders to take him to Brenna's room. (Medic man
finds bandages that were over 'Junior' and looks at it confused.)

BRENNA: Put him down over there. (Movers pick him up and put him on the bed)
You're dismissed.

SAM: What's the matter with him?

BRENNA: He's dying.

DANNY: Kel'No'Reem!

JACK: What?

DANNY: I'm not sure what it means, but I think -

JACK: It's a kind of meditation. He has to do it every day, or he gets sick.
Right?

SAM: So-So, why doesn't he do it?

JACK: Because he can't remember.

BRENNA: Colonel O'Neill is correct. As you've begun to suspect, all of you
have had your memories altered. You are Major Samantha Carter, Doctor Daniel
Jackson, and your friend here is named Teal'C.

JACK: Where does Homer fit in?

BRENNA: You were all they sent down. At first, I thought it was necessary to
protect the city. Now things have gone too far. You don't belong here. You
need to return to your own world. Your memories will come back more quickly
once you are home.

JACK: Home?

BRENNA: Yes, thru there.

She opens door to Adm. Calder and some goons with guns.

BRENNA: Adm. Culder!

CALDER: Brenna, I must say I'm disappointed. But not surprised. See, I've
been watching you grow weaker for some time now.

BRENNA: I've been coming to my sences.

CALDER: Either way, you're no longer of any use to me. (He shoots her in the
shoulder) As for the rest of you, (The goons have their guns on SG-1 minus
Teal'C) It's time you found out (Teal'C rises!!!!) what the surface of this
planet is really like.

Goon see Teal'C and turns. Teal'C hits him in the face. This makes Calder
turn his head, Danny grabs the gun from Culder and hits him in the stomach.
Jack backhands second goon. Calder falls from Danny's punch. First goon gets
thrown against wall courtacy of Teal'C looking oh so yummy in a muscle
shirt! Jack gets gun and points it at Culder's head! (WHOO! I feel like the
commentators on Nitro calling out the wrestling moves! That was fun!<g>)

Sam goes put her arms around Brenna. Teal'C walks up to Jack.

JACK: Teal'C? You all right?

TEAL'C: I am.

DANNY: What happened?

TEAL'C: When I removed my bandages, and realized I was unlike the rest of
you, I began to remember. I placed myself in a deep state of Kel'No'Reem for
the night, and my symbiote restored me back to health.

SAM: Brenna should be all right if we can get her to the uh ---

JACK: Infermary.

SAM: Right.

CALDER: You'll never make it back to the stargate.

JACK: You know something? We've got you as a hostage. I don't see a problem.

DANNY: Jona ---

JACK: Jack!

DANNY: Right! We can't. We have to tell these people what's happening.

JACK: Yep, you're right.

Jack gets up, and forses Calder to rise as well. They go out to the
platform.

JACK: Everybody! Can I have your attention please? I'd like to introduce you
to someone. This man has been keeping you locked up down here, while he and
his friends live it up on the surface!

KEGAN: What are you talking about?

CALDER: Don't listen to them! They shot Brenna! It's true!

JACK: Listen to me! There is a big Domed city up there full of people YOU
serve! They've been hiding it from you your entire lives!

KEGAN: It's a lie!

DANNY: He's telling the truth, Kegan!

CALDER: You can't let them get away!

KEGAN: Who are you?

JACK: That's a good question!

CALDER: My name is Calder. I was a supervisor in the mines before my
transfer.

JACK: (Quietly) Yeah, whatever. (Yelling) YOU WANT PROOF?!?!?!?!?! ( He
looks up @ the skylite.)

KEGAN: NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Jack shoots the skylight . The glass falls down
and SUNLIGHT shines thru on all the workers!) (Kegan smiles as the warm
sunbeam lights up her face) (Sam looks at Jack smiling)

JACK: No ice --- no snow!

CALDER: You've accomplished nothing! These people will never be accepted in
the city.

JACK: I think you're right about that.

DANNY: That's why we're gonna offer them a better place.

JACK: There's this nice little tropical planet out there. Where the beaches
go on --- forever. This I remember clearly. You and your people can do your
own shoveling for a while.

CALDER: You're destroying a way of life.

JACK: That's ashame. Teal'C? Wanna show these people how to get out of here?

BRENNA: Ah, it hurts!

SAM: I know. Try not to move it were gonna take you home with us.

BRENNA: Thank you. (Danny walks her out)

SAM: So --- Colonel ---

JACK: (Looks @ her for a few seconds) Major.

SAM: (Smiles) That bald man you were trying to remember?

JACK: General Hammond.

SAM: Right.

JACK: He's from Texas, you know. It's all coming back.

SAM: Yes, Sir.

JACK: (Smile drops from face, and he looks down.) Sir --- (He looks up at
her)

She smiles and nods her head. He looks down and then back up into her eyes.

JACK: Let's go home.

SAM: (Smiles and nods again) Yes, Sir.

They walk out.

Episode 73 - "The First Ones"

Daniel and Rothman are digging at a site. They find a queen goa'uld that
Rothman names Cleopatra , Cleo for short. This Goa'Uld has no naquada which
is found in most Goa'Uld. Rothman sends Hawkins for a water run. Daniel
calls Lodar over to help him archive their findings. As he's archiving,
Lodar sees something charge for him and opens fire. The thing knocks Daniel
down after killing Lodar. Someone yells Daniel's name as he's being dragged
away uconscious.

OPENING CREDITS!

The iris is closed over the activating gate.

TECH DAVIS: Unscheduled offworld activation. It's SG-11, Sir.

GH: Open the iris.

DAVIS: Yes, Sir.

SG-1 are standing behind GH & Davis.

SAM: Daniel's with them, isn't he?

GH: They're not scheduled to check in for 2 more days.

SG-1 & GH run to control room. Rothman comes in gasping for air, breathing
hard. He explains to GH & SG-1 that Lodar's dead, and the rest of his team
went after it, some indigenous lifeform.

JACK: Daniel?

ROTHMAN: No, No, No! It TOOK Daniel! That's why the others went after it!

SAM: How long ago?

ROTHMAN: I don't know! Maybe 3 hours! Daniel? He's still alive!
(Hysterically) That thing was draggin him!!!!

JACK: You saw it?

ROTHMAN: Just for a second.

JACK: Request permission to lead Search and rescue.

ROTHMAN: But if I had to guess, I'd say it was an Unas.

JACK: A what?!?!

ROTHMAN: It was like the thing in your mission report from Cimeria. (Rothman
takes a puff from an inhaler)

JACK: Basically, we're talking about a Goa'Uld with teeth and claws, Sir.

TEAL'C: Not necessarily, O'Neill.

SAM: Daniel believed that 888 was the planet from which all goa'uld
symbiotes originated.

TEAL'C: There could be unas there who have never been taken as hosts.

JACK: We're still talking about a big, stinky monster. Makes no difference.

TEAL'C: Indeed it does. These unas would be far more primative and lack the
degenative powers than Unas we have previously encountered.

SAM: What would a primative unas want with Daniel.

JACK: I recommend units 1&2, P90's. I also recommend we leave right now,
Sir.

GH: You have a go.

Sam, Teal'C and Jack leave.

Next shot to Danny waking up. Sounds of heavy breathing. His hands are
bound. The Unas turns. URGH! Get that boy a paper bag! He ain't cute like
Thor, gang! <g> He growls @ Danny and lifts him up by the ropes.

Next shot: UAV being launched thru the gate.

JACK: All right, listen up! We're a little pressed for time here, so this
will have to serve as your mission briefing. Daniel Jackson has been dragged
off by a creature called an UNAS! This is a search and rescue. Any
questions?

ROTHMAN: (Coming in with gear in his hands instead of on his back) Uh . . .
yes! I have one! When exactly were you gonna tell me we were leaving.

JACK: (Putting hat on) I wasn't.

ROTHMAN: OH!

JACK: Move out.

A sergent says the stargate is secure. Jack says to keep it that way. Jack
calls for sierra golf one one niner to come in. No response from SG- 11. Sam
says the UAV is on automatic running a circular search pattern. Nothing yet.
Teal'C points out that Daniel would have contacted them by radio by now if
he were able. Sam wonders about the rest of SG-11. Jack says they might be
out of range. Teal'C says the Unas would be capable of traversing a great
distance in a short amount of time. Jack tell Teal'C to take point, (front?)
Pierce has their six, (back?), and Rothman that he's with him.

Next shot: Unas with Daniel walking thru the forest.

DANIEL: (VERY out of breath!) Okay, I know it seems completely unlikely for
you to understand a word I'm saying, but, I've gone just as far as I can go
at this particular pace, so with your permission, I'm gonna fall down now!
(He falls to the ground) Rest. This is something you should become familiar
with. Rest . . . I means . . . Uh . . . REST . . . (The Unas growls at him,
he flintched into the fetal position.) Close. Try again, though . . .
.RRRRREST! (the unas looks confused) This . . . this is uh . . . nothing
that you need to be worried about. (He pulls a radio out of his pocket)
Radio. It's uh . . . so my friends can find me and shoot you. (Standing up
and talking into radio) Uh, this is Daniel Jackson if anyone can hear me---

The unas growls and hits the radio from Danny's hands. Growling, he pulls
the rope, pulling Daniel back to the ground

DANIEL: OK! I get it! No more radio! Radio bad. Do you speak any kind of
language at all? I mean you must be
intelligent, I mean you made that necklace and those clothes. (Unas pulls
him up to his feet) Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was refreshing! I'm good for
another 10 miles.

Back to SG1 and gang walking thru woods.

SAM: Sir!

JACK: Yeah?

SAM: Fairly strong RDF signal. It's gone now, not long enough to
triangulate.

ROTHMAN: So, what, what's that mean?

SAM: Daniel may have tried to use his radio.

SOLDIER: Could be SG-11.

SAM: UAV picked up something. I can't explain why it died out.

JACK: Alright, let's pick it up.

Daniel and unas reach a lake, unas looks up at the moons. Unas stoops down,
allowing Daniel to sit down.

DANNY: YES! Rest. This is uh . . . this is good! This is . . . rest! (Daniel
lays down on his back) < AQ! Gets very bad thought here!> (Unas starts to
rock back and forth and grunt. ) This is some sort of meditation, or? (Danny
takes out a tape recorder and starts to talk into it) This is DR Daniel
Jackson, uh, in case anybody finds this, <Man his eyes are BLUE!!!!> I met a
wonderful new friend, and he's taking me on a long jorney to see his planet.
(Unas looks @ him and growls) Just making notes. At the moment, my main
concern is that my new friend is an aboriginal Unas in it's un- goa'ulded
state, and, that I'm the evening meal. It, uh . . . or rather, he appears to
have underdeveloped chin and faciel horns uh . . . which indicates that he's
a subspeciel, possibly a juvinile. (Unas looks @ Mr. Blue eyes . . .
uh . . . I mean Danny<g> and growls) Shut up? (To unas) I understood that.
(Into tape recorder) We're communicating.

UNAS: (Chanting) A'ka Cha . A'Ka Cha.

DANNY: A'Ka Cha'Ka?

Unas continues chant.

DANNY: Chaka. Is that what you call yourself? Chaka? (Points to self)
Daniel. I'm Daniel. Chaka something else? Chaka's the moons? This is some
sort of moon chant? Moons coming into alignment? (Unas growls) Moon chant.
What was I thinking?

UNAS: Shesh, shesh! SHESH!

DANNY: Shesh? Shesh? What is that?

UNAS: Shaka kaka!

UAV is seen flying over head.

DANNY: U.A.V.! U.A.V.! This is my friends looking for me. (Unas continues to
chant) You're frightened? It's OK! It won't hurt you. It won't hurt you.

Back to SG1. Jack is calling for SG11.

JACK: We're somewhere on your six. Do you read? Where the hell is Hawkins?

SAM: The UAV would have run out of fuel by now.

ROTHMAN: Maybe an unus got him.

Shot of something swimming in the water. Danny and Unas are approaching the
water.

DANNY: Hey! Water. I need water.

Unas takes him to the bank of lake, and Danny stoops down to drink. Unas
stops him , and motions for him to put his hand in water, and bring water to
his mouth in hand. Daniel holds up his bound hands. Unas puts rope down.
Daniel splashes water on his face. Drinking water, he look @ unas who has
his head turned. Daniel runs away.

SG-1 and gang find base camp, and start to search it.

Back to Danny running. He reaches the edge of the river. Something is
looking at him from the water. He jumps in the water and starts to swim. He
reaches the other side of the river, and sees the unas waiting. He freezes
right there. He heard screetching and a splash. He turns to see something
swimming towards him. He backs up onto shore, and the thing jumps out of the
water. IT's A GOA'ULD SYMBIOTE!!!! The unas grabs it in mid air, and tears
it in two. Danny looks discusted.

UNAS: Kaka! (Unas rubs blue goa'uld blood on Danny's face.) Kaka!

DANNY: Kaka? Kek . . . dead! Keka means dead? Danger? (Unas says KA) OK! Ka
means no. (Unas knocks Danny down to the ground) Right. I won't do that
again. (Unas picks up Danny)

Back to SG1

ROTHMAN: Loder was killed over there.

TEAL'C: (Looking a loder's body) He appears to have been killed by a being
of great strength.

JACK: (To Rothman) What was Loder doing?

ROTHMAN: Packing up fossilized Goa'Uld for transportation back to earth.

JACK: You guys weren't doing anything that would have provoked an attack?

ROTHMAN: I, I, I don't know.

JACK: (Sarcastically) You know Rothman, I'm so glad you came!

ROTHMAN: OK, Then no. I doubt it very much. We'd been at the dig for 3 weeks
doing exactly what Lodar's been doing for 3 weeks!

SOLDIER: Look at this! They got off a hell of a lot of shots.

Teal'C confirms his theory about the unas by the stride and the shape of the
footprints. They can track it.

Another soldier says he found Hawkins just staring off into space.

JACK: Where's the rest of your men?

HAWKINS: We were attacked. Sanchez is dead for sure. I don't know what
happened after that. We got split up. Some of them might have made it . . .
back.

ROTHMAN: OH! GOD!

SAM: Major, we've been trying to contact you for the last few hours.

HAWKINS: (Somber) My men are dead, aren't they?

JACK: Look, Hawkins . . . I can't spare anybody to take you back to the
stargate. You're gonna have ta stick with us. Can ya do that?

HAWKINS: What ever you say, Sir.

JACK: Let's move out.

Danny and Unas arrive in the cave.

Back to SG1

SAM: Sir, I think we should rest.

JACK: Allright. Go to ground, boots on, no fire. I'll take first watch.

Jack sits on ground, goa'uld symbiote watches him from water.

Next scene, Goa'uld symbiote's head is being heated on a fire. Danny does
not look too hungry at that site.

DANNY: Is this your cave? Your cave? It's nice. (Unas takes the head off the
stick and throws it to Danny)

UNAS: Nan!

DANNY: Nan? (Holding the head) Nan is Goa'Uld? Is Symbiote? Nan?

UNAS: Ka! Nan. (He takes a bit of the symbiote's body)

DANNY: Eat! Eat. Nan is eat! (To self) of course. No, NO! If I am the main
course, I'd rather you fill up on the appetizers. So . . . (Throw head @
unas) Ka!

UNAS: Throws head back) NAN!

DANNY: (Throws head) KA!

Danny & Unas throw head back and forth 2 times & says eat & no! Danny's
starting to laugh. They do look like a couple of 5 year olds.

UNAS: (Laughing) NAN!

DANNY: (Laughing) Right! Uh, toss the symbiote head! That's very popular,
very interesting! (Unas is still laughing) Yes, all the kids are doing this!
(Throw head into fire) Uh-Oh! Look out! In the fire, but . . . (Digs in
pocket & produces some sort of pie; I'd say an Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream
pie?) NAN!

UNAS: KA!

DANNY:Now, don't say KA till you've tried it! (Opens it , looking adorable!)
(Unas smells it) Nan. (Danny takes a bite closing his eyes like he's REALLY
enjoying it!) (He stops when he sees Unas looking at him.) (Unas takes it
away from him , smells it, then licks it.)

UNAS: (Taking a bite of pie) RRRR.

DANNY: MMMM ! MMMMMM!

UNAS: RRRRRRR

DANNY: That's funny! I met my father in law like this.

UNAS: RRRRR . . .

DANNY: Yeah, like that!

SG-1 in the dark.

JACK: Rothman! (Hits Rothman)

ROTHMAN: What?! Colonel?!

JACK: You notice anything weird about Hawkins?

ROTHMAN: Weird?

JACK: Different.

ROTHMAN: (Sleepily rubbing eyes) Different.

JACK: Odd?

ROTHMAN: Odd?!

JACK: Rothman!

ROTHMAN: OH! I'm still not awake yet, Colonel, I'm sorry!

JACK: Well, you work with him. Tell me if you noticed any thing . . . out of
the ordinary?

ROTHMAN: (Puts his glasses on & looks at Hawkins) He seems like . . .
Hawkins! I, I don . . . That's the way he is!

JACK: Ya sure?

ROTHMAN: No. It's not my thing.

JACK: What isn't?

ROTHMAN: People. I mean give me a million year old fossil, and I'll tell you
what it had for breakfast, but I, I , I'm not too good with people. They're
too recent.

Jack looks at Sam. Shot goes to Hawkins with the glowing eyes!

DANNY: (In the TR) I'm in a cave. There are crude drawings, pictigraphs. It
really seams to have comprehention of Goa'Uld symbiote structure. As well as
their ability to blend. Obviously the unas who were taken over must have
figured out how to work the gate and left but . . . not all of them. (He
talks about the necklace protecting them from symbiote. He goes on about a
rite of passage. Not funny at all.)

Unas cuts Danny's face. Put a line of Danny's blood next to a drawing of the
unas dragging a man away.

DANNY: I think I've just been marked for death!

Shot to Teal'C overlooking the water.

SAM: Teal'C, we're moving out.

Symbiote watches Teal'C from water. Teal'C stops.He hears movement in water.
He activates his staff. Symbiote jumps out of water. It's flying thru the
air with WINGS!!!! Teal'C shoots it. Something really big kinda comes out
of the water. Makes a lot of splashing. You hear screetching. The humans
approach.

TEAL'C: (Staff pointed @ humans) Come no closer!

JACK: What was that?

TEAL'C: Lower your weapons!

JACK: What?!

TEAL'C: One or more of you may have become hosts to a Goa'Uld during our
watch.

Jack looks at Sam who looks back at him.

SAM: Teal'C, that doesn't make any sense! I don't sense . . .

TEAL'C: Cause you yourself may have been compromised.

JACK: Well, what makes you think there are Goa'Uld around here.

TEAL'C: These waters abound with them. Any one who have ventured to the edge
has put them selves at risk.

ROTHMAN: No, the Goa'Uld fossils we found are millions of years old. I've
been on this planet for weeks.

TEAL'C: Then perhaps you maintained the pretence of being human.

ROTHMAN: I think I would know if there was a snake in my head!

JACK: Carter?

SAM: I can't explain it, Sir. I don't even sense the ones that are in the
water.

ROTHMAN: Daniel & I found no traces of Naquata in the symbiote fossil. Maybe
that's why -

TEAL'C: Enough! Relinquish your weapons immediately!

SOLDIER: Hold on! How do we know YOU'RE not one of them?

SAM : Symbiotes can't blend with a Jaffa.

SOLDIER: Yeah? Well, look at my neck. Do you see a scar?

TEAL'C: A goauld may enter thru the mouth leaving no visible scar. Therefore
it may be impossible to tell who among you has been taken and who has not.

SAM: Sir, Teal'C is right. He's the only one we can be sure of, even you and
me.

JACK: (Thinks a few seconds) Do as he says. Everyone takes off their
weapons.

SAM: What about Daniel?

TEAL'C: None of you can be trusted to proceed.

SOLDIER: You think you can bring Daniel back alone?

TEAL'C: I do, and I will. (Into radio) Sargent Colburn.

COLBURN: Colburn?

TEAL'C: One or more of our team may have been compromised by a goa'uld
parisite.

COLBURN: How many?

TEAL'C: That may be impossible to detirmine. I intend to restrain them at
this location, and continue on.

JACK: What?!

TEAL'C: I will leave this frequency open so that you may locate them and
return to the SGC. Take extreme caution.

COLBURN: We're on our way.

TEAL'C: (Throwing some ties @ Jack) Bind their hands and feet tight with
those. I will then do the same to you, O'Neill.

Danny wakes up in the cave. He takes a big rock. He wants to hit the unas,
but slams it into the ground instead. He offers to help the unas with the
cut on his hand.

Teal'C is binding Jack's hands.

JACK: I'm telling you, It's gotta be Hawkins!

TEAL'C: Trust in me, O'Neill.

JACK: What if I'm not O'Neill?!

TEAL'C: Then I was not talking to you.

Teal'C leaves.

SOLDIER: What if one of those Unas come by? What will we do then?

SAM: Teal'C didn't have any other choice, Captain.

Hawkins has that look like Apophis <g>.

Daniel is taking the bullet out of the unas's hand. He pleads with unas to
let him go. He writes something on the wall.

ROTHMAN: This is ridiculous! I'm not a Goa'Uld!

JACK: Well, then why didn't you say so? Could've straightened this whole
thing out. (Sam kinda smirk @ Jack's comment)

HAWKINS: (Shot of his hands with a cut on it) So, which one of you is it?

JACK: (Sarcastically the way ONLY Jack could do!) All right anybody with a
snake in their head raise their hands!

Hawkin's eyes glow, and he releases the restraints.

JACK: (Unbelivingly) Damn! Um . . . TEAL'C!!!! TEAL'C!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Hawkins
picks up a gun.) TEAL'C!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Looks around,
hysterically) TEAL'C!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Hawkins points the gun @ Jack. Jack flintches, Teal'C shoots Hawkins with
the staff in the back. Twice. His eyes glow, and he falls dead.) Well, that
took ya long enough!

TEAL'C: You are welcome, O'Neill. I knew if there was a Goa'Uld among you,
he would be strong enough to free himself. (He smiles, and goes to release
others)

SAM: You had to wait long enough to make sure Hawkins was the only one.

TEAL'C : Yes.

SOLDIER: You satisfied now?

TEAL'C: I am.

ROTHMAN: Glad that's over with! (Teal'C sees a cut on Rothman's hand.
Rothman's eyes glow. He knocks Teal'C backwards., takes his staff, shoots
the captain that I refer to as soldier, and gets a chest full of lead
courtesy of
Jack!)

JACK: You gonna live?

SOLDIER: Yeah. I think so.

JACK: Meet up with Colburn. Head back to the stargate.

SOLDIER: Yeah. How long do you figure he's been Goa'Uld?

SECOND SOLDIER: Could've been the whole time, we just didn't know it.

SAM: They deserve a decent buriel, Sir.

JACK: Yes, they do.

SOLDIER: We'll take care of it, Sir. Go find Doctor Jackson.

Daniel and Unas go further into cave. SG-1 are at the beginning of the cave.
Danny wrote this way on the wall with an arrow. Daniel and Unas run into
other unas. The other unas makes an advance to wards Danny. Unas stops him.
SG-1 comes in, Danny stops them from shooting. The alpha male wants Danny as
dinner. The alpha male makes an advace toward Danny. Sam and jack open fire.
A fight ensues between Alpha male and Danny's friend. Danny's friend
kicks the Alpha male's Ass, and becomes the alpha male.

After the fight, Unas says: Daniel? He leaves, and everyone lives happily
ever after! <g>

The End

Episode 72 - "Watergate"

SG-1 is walking down the hall headed to the gateroom.

SAM: All indications suggest a positive environment.

JACK: Sounds good. (Sam smiles)

DANNY: It's gonna take us 2 weeks to get the enkarons fully transplanted.

TEAL'C: If the plan proves to be sutiable.

DANNY: It better be. They're running out of time.

Chevrons are locking on the gate. They get to the point of origin ...
nothing happens. Jack raises his eyebrows and looks back @ Sgt. Davis.

DAVIS: Chevron 7 won't engage.

SG-1 are looking from Davis to each other and then back to Davis. Sam looks
at Jack, then nods her head. She leaves to go to the control room.

DAVIS: I don't understand it. The diagnostic shows no problems.

Sam and Davis look at the computer which says no errors.

SAM: Sir, this is gonna take a while.

Jack doesn't look too happy. He looks like he's thinking 'Damn computers'.
<g> Shot goes to the empty, quiet gate.

SAM: It looks like there was an energy spike in our powerlog about 8 minutes
before we first tried dialing out.

DANNY: Uh ... Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that something we see when
another gate is being used on earth?

JACK: Like when Mayborne's N.I.D. guys had the other gate.

TEAL'C: There is no longer a second stargate on earth.

GH: Ours was destroyed along with Thor's ship.

SAM: But if it was another gate, and it was responsible for the energy
spike, they would have a seismic trimmer like when the gate was found in
Antartica.

DAVIS: I've got something. (Screen has an earthquake showing up in the USSR,
right in the middle of Siberia.)

SAM: There was a seismic event that matches our time in the powerlog
exactly.

JACK: Is that Siberia?

SAM: Yes, Sir. And there's only one explination I can think of.

DANNY: The Russians have a stargate?

OPENING CREDITS! ...

GH: The Russians recovered the stargate from the bottom of the ocean.

JACK: I thought we swept that entire area?

GH: We're talking about hundreds of square miles, Colonel. The Russian Navy
was on alert because they spotted Thor's ship. They must have gotten lucky
and beat us to it.

SAM: And they admit it?

GH Says they didn't have much choice. The pentagon said they had the
evidence to prove it. Danny and Sam wondered how they figured out how it
worked becouse it took them years. The russians know quite a bit about the
SGC, but haven't said how. GH said how they got the gate opened isn't the
issue, the problem is, it won't close.

DANNY: That doesn't make any sence, I mean shouldn't it eventually shut down
on it's own?

TEAL'C: The Goa'Uld themselves have not been able to establish a wormhole
for longer that 38 minutes.

JACK: What about another black-hole planet?

SAM: We would detect the gravitational anomolies, Sir. (Jack thinks about
what she said for a few seconds, then smiles at her.)

GH says the Russians are devided on how to deal with the situation. The
president of russia didn't approve of the stargate program. They were
planing on bombing the facility and covering it up.

JACK: And now?

GH: One of the Russian Scientist convinced them to send in a team to see if
it could be resolved in another way.

SAM: Who's the scientist?

GH: Doctor Svetlana Markov.

SAM: Wow! I know her work! She's brillient.

GH: She knows of you, too, MAjor. She's convinced Moscow to let SG-1 go to
Siberia.

JACK: You're kidding.

GH: Jack, They are smart enough to realize that this has global
implications, and SG-1 is the most experienced with the stargate.

JACK: General, we're gonna walk into an unknown situation to save their
rosey butts.

DANNY: JAck, we can't use our gate until we get their's shut down.

SAM: Then there's the potential danger of having an open wormhole between
Earth and who knows where.

GH orders them to go to siberia and help out. Jack has that cute 'Just
great!' Expression on his face.

KUYBYSHEV AIRBASE , RUSSIA

Nice shots of airplanes.

JACK: Doctor Markov, I presume.

Doctor Markov( DM from now on!) : <Heavy accent> Sorry I'm late.

SAM: (Shaking her hand) It's an honor ... I've read your work.

DM: I've also read yours, Major Carter. Wish we had met under different
circumstances.

JACK: Jack O'Neill.

DM: Yes, and Doctor Daniel Jackson, and Teal'C.

Teal'C nods at the doc.

SAM: How do you know about the SGC?

DM: I've read extensive files on all of you.

JACK: The question was HOW.

DM: I learned to read English when I was six, it was not difficult.

Sam and Jack smile at each other.

JACK: Russian Humor.

DM: I will tell you what I can on the way.

Shot of plane taking off.

Inside airplane.

DM is talking about the russians spotting Thor's ship entering the
atmosphere.

JACK: (Playing dumb.) Alien space ship, huh?

DM then says they saw the ship desentagrating in the air. They recovered the
gate after an extensive sweep of the ocean floor. She talks about the
Submarine going missing during the search.

DM: You may be familiar with the incident.

JACK: (Still playing dumb.) Not a clue.

DM Says she was assigned to the program as chief science officer. They had
been in operation for 37 days against the wishes of very powerful people in
the government, who thretened to expose the existance of the American
stargate program. They want to get the US to share the alien technology they
have aquired.

SAM: What stopped them?

DM: We activated our gate. I covinced them that we could benefit better from
our own program better than we could trust the Americans.

JACK: Ah ...

DANNY: How did you activate it?

DM: We have a dialing device.

DANNY: The DHD. You found the one from Giza?

DM: It was confinscated from the Germans after the second world war.

SAM: Now, I understand how you can send your people thru and get them to
return thru your gate instead of ours.

JACK: That makes one of us.

DM: Our gate superceded yours as long as the dialing device was connected to
it. We only kept it connected when we were using it to prevent any
crossovers. It required precise timing, but it worked.

JACK: Until now.

DM: As for the current situation, I really don't know what has happened.
There has been no contact with the base since yesterday @ 1200 hours.

CO-PILOT?:(American) Sir, we have a visual of the target runway. It appears
to be iced over, and there's no responce from the control tower.

DM: We're going to have to jump.

DANNY: Out ... of ... the plane?!?!?!?

Teal'C looks confused, and looks @ Sam who does the closed eyes thing.

DM: I'm going with or without you, Colonel.

JACK: (Adorably staring at her.) *Said smartassed!* I suppose you expect my
male bravada to kick in right about now.

DM: I've read your file.

JACK: No mention of bravado, eh?

DM: There are 47 people down there who may need our help.

JACK: (Leaning over) Look, You don't have to tell me what's at steak here.
We've got 7 teams off world who can't get home until we fix what you screwed
up.

DM just looks at him and sits back. Jack sit back too. Daniel looks at Jack
for a few seconds.

JACK: *Into mic on helmet* Stu? Gear 'em up. We're jumpin'.

LOL! Poor Danny! He just looks up at Jack, looking pretty scared.

TEAL'C: (Holding his parachute) I do not understand, O'Neill.

JACK: It's called a parachute.

SAM: It slows your desent after you jump out of the plane.

TEAL'C: This device seams to be poorly designed to provide such a function.

JACK: It opens after you jump. *Teal'C just stares with the stoic face we
all know and love!* Don't worry about it! I've done it hundreds of times.

DM: I assume you've brought the Haz-Mat?

JACK: (Staring at her) Yeah. Thought somebody should be prepared. (Said
sarcastically)

DM: ( To Sam) Is he ALWAYS like this?

SAM: Actually, this is quite charming. (Smiles)

DM looks discusted. Plane cargo door opens to reveal ... ICE! It's nothing
but white. Two airmen throw out a big box.

AIRMAN: (Sounds like) *Can't really hear him over engine noise* Field's
ready, Sir!

JACK: (To Teal'C) *Yelling over engine noise* It's easy! Just jump, and pull
this! (Pulling on cord)

TEAL'C: This does not seam wise, O'Neill!

JACK: I said it was easy ... not wise!

DM: If we get seperated, we'll rondevous at the base! (She jumps)

Sam Jumps out of the plane.

TEAL'C: This does not seam wise!!!! (Jack pushes him out the plane!)

Jack put his hand on Danny's shoulder. Danny looks at him, and jumps. Jack
jumps.

Shot of base. Jack, Sam & DM are walking in the snow toward the base.

JACK: *I guess into radio.* Teal'C? Daniel? Come in. *Silence* There's been
no responce from the radios.

DM: Their signals may be blocked if they are already inside.

The two American soldiers walk in the base with guns up.

DM: Up there!

JACK: *Over radio* Teal'C, Daniel? Do you read?

TEAL'C: *Over radio* I am here.

JACK: Where?

TEAL'C: In the facility.

DANNY: Yeah. I'm here, too.

JACK: Where?

DANNY: Well, I don't know, exactly. Where are you?

JACK: We just got inside. Hang tight.

Jack's walking up a flight of stairs. Then down a walkway.

SAM: I'm picking up trace amounts of chlorine.

JACK: Yeah?

SAM: Nothing dangerous at these levels, Sir.

Jack and the ladies get to a long corridar.

JACK: Allright, what is this place?

SAM: It obviously wasn't built spacifically for your stargate program.

DM: It was an experimental power station.

SAM: Experimental?

DM: All I'm allowed to say is it was decommisioned 2 years ago.

JACK: *Sarcastically* Please!

SAM: Are there lights?

DM: The power seems have been diverted from all nonessential base functions.
This way to the main control center. Jack spots movement.

JACK: *Over radio* Daniel? Is that you?

DANNY: I don't know. I'm heading down a long corridor.

JACK: Which one?

Jack flashes the light in Danny's face.

DANNY: THIS one! *Jack lowers his weapon*

DM: This way.

DANNY: Actually, you might want to see this first.

Daniel turns over a body in a white coat. He's been shot in the chest.

TEAL'C: These three were shot. I am unaware how the others died.

DM: These doors lead to the stargate. *DM punches in a code on the alarm
thing, and passes a card.*

The doors open, revealing the open stargate and many bodies laying on and
around the ramp. DM Checks one of the russians.

DM: They're all dead.

The team walks in to the control room.

DM: I need this station.

Teal'C removes the dead technition from the chair behind the computer for
DM. She types something on the computer. She takes off her mask.

DM: (Tearfully with voice shaking) It's safe.

Teal'C removes his mask. Jack watches him for approval. Teal'C smells the
air.

TEAL'C: The air is indeed clean.

The other 3 humans take off their masks.

DM is wiping away tears from her eyes.

SAM: (Putting her hand on DM's shoulder) You OK?

DM:(Still tearfully) I knew these men & women, Major. Some of them quite
well.

JACK: *Glances at Sam* So, what happened here?

DM: Colonel Sokoluv enacted the extreme measures protocal.

DANNY: What's that?

DM: The stargate room is sealed, and substance 35 is released throughout the
base.

SAM: *Jack's beside her with a confused look on his face shaking his head.*
Nerve gas?

JACK: Nerve gas?!?!?!

DM: It's OK, Colonel. It's a nonpersistant gas. It evaporates after 3 hours.
(Jack's looking at sam, and shaking his head) Acording to the computer, the
protocal was enacted yesterday.

TEAL'C: For what reason?

DM: The computer log doesn't say.

JACK: Alright , people were shooting each other around here before they got
gassed. I want to know why.

DANNY: I'll see what I can find out.

DM Gives them a list of all the personelle asigned to the base. She says
they should all be wearing ID tags.

JACK: So, what about the gate?

DM: It's an outgoing wormhole, but ... it doesn't make sense! The EM
protocal cuts off the dialing device. If the protocal was enacted yesterday,
where has the out going wormhole been drawing it's power from since then?

SAM: We've seen a one drawing power from the outgoing destination.

DM: Of course, the black hole-incident.

Sam and Jack look at each other.

JACK: Is there anything you don't know?

DM: *Confused* WHAT were they DOING?!?!?!?!?!?!

DM runs out of the room. Jack and Sam follow her. She climbs up a storage
thingy and opens the top.

DM: It's GONE!

JACK: If I ask WHAT, and you say it's classified, I'm gonna shoot you.

DM: The seventh address we sucessfully dialed led to a stargate entirelly
submerged underwater. (Sam looks at Jack) We sent a recognesis, and found
the dialing device. It was decided that the maned mini submarine would go
next. A
sample of the water was retrieved. It seemed to have unbelievable
properties.

SAM: Like what?

DM: It was spontaniously emiting energy in the form of heat. If this liquid
turned out to be an abundant clean energy source ...

SAM: That doesn't seem possible.

DM: I was called away to Moscow before I could preform any significant
anylisis.

SAM: So now you're saying the water sample is gone?

DM: Yes. There was a sealed container here.

SAM: And the Stargate is connected to the water planet?

DM: Apparently, but ... that doesn't make sense. They were supposed to
continue on to the next 2 planets on our planned sequence, and NOT revisit
the waterplanet until I got back!

SAM: Let's confirm it. Do you have another recognasis craft?

DM: We left the first one there. All we have to do is reactivate it.

She runs down the stairs and then down the corridor. Sam and Jack look at
each other and then run after her.

Daniel and Teal'C are checking the bodies.

JACK: *Thru radio* Daniel? Teal'C?

DANNY: Uh ... What's up?

JACK: Head back to the control room. Doctor Markov thinks you might want to
see this.

TEAL'C: Thusfar we have accounted for 28 of the 47 members on the list.

DANNY: 6 of them were dressed as civilians, not soldiers. They were shot,
and there was no apparent reason why.

DM: They were the scientists working in the lab.

JACK: So, the guys experiamenting on that water gave the soldiers reason to
shoot them.

DM: So it seems.

DANNY: What water?

SAM: A sample brought back from where the stargate is submerged.

DM: I thought you might be interested, Doctor Jackson. We found some unusual
ruins of an obviously extinct civilization on the ocean floor.

Screen show ruins.

DANNY: Can you get closer?

DM: The drone is malfunctioning. I can only pan and tilt.

Shot goes to Russian sailer dead in the water. DM is ubset.

TEAL'C: Why would those men proceed thru the stargate knowing that they
would drown on the other side?

Jack raises his eyebrows and cocks his head.

SAM: Can you shut off the drone's transmitter from here?

DM: Why?

SAM: Well, even though the wormhole only allows matter to travel one way, we
are able to send radio signals back and forth.

DM: You think the radio transmitter is what's keeping the gate open?

SAM: The gate won't close if the transmitter is sending a strong enough
signal into the event horizon.

DM: The energy from the water is making the gate stay open this long.

SAM: Exactly. It's a combination of factors. All we have to do is shut off
the drone.

DM: It's not responding to my command.

SAM: How long before it's batteries die?

DM: It's nuclear powered.

JACK: A nuclear powered drone?!?!?!?!

DM: We built several of them planning to leave them on other planets for
long term observation.

SAM: HOW long term?

DM: *looks around* 10 years.

They get ready to launch the submarine. Danny says he wants to get a good
look @ the ruins. Jack askes how many people the sub holds. DM answers 3.

JACK: *Sarcastically* Oh, Dang. I've never been in a submarine before.

DM looks at Sam who looks away. The three are climbing in the sub. Danny
looks around.

DANNY: (VERY smartasses!) Spacious ... roomy! Very nice. So, exactly how
much air do we have in this thing?

DM: Over a days worth. We won't need more than an hour.*Sam and Danny look
at each other.*

DM: *Over monitor* Colonel, can you hear us?

JACK: Yeah, I read ya.

DM: Pressurizing and ... proceding thru the gate.

Shot of pulley and sub being sent thru the gate.

JACK: Good luck.

SAM: Thank you.

Totally awesome above gate shot. On one side you see sub going thru, on
other side, nothing. I love those shots! Sub goes thru on the other side.

SAM: WOW!

DM: It is quite beautiful.

DANNY: What?

DM: (To Danny)The rapid pressurrization might cause your ears to block. (To
Sam, now) As you might notice, There is no plant or animal life.

DANNY: There doesn't appear to be plant or animal life. <g>

SAM: Colonel, do you read?

JACK: Yeah?

DANNY: We're counting 5 bodies on this side.

TEAL'C: Several personnelle are unaccounted for.

JACK: All right, we'll have another look around.

DM says something about turning off the drone transmitter. Ending
transmission over and out. The gate shuts down. Jack says they will have
another look around.

Sub is traveling thru water.

DM: I'm glad you were right, Major.


Sam says that still doesn't explain the murder of the scientists. DM wonders
why the men on the other side in the water were either forsed thru the gate
or felt compelled to go thru knowing they would drown. Danny mentions the
ruins proving the planet wasn't always underwater. They go look. DM noticed
the controls are getting heavy. She hasn't touched the power, but they are
slowing down. She's pushing it full power.

DANNY: What's that smell?

DM: We've completely stopped ... *Explosion in back of them*

DANNY: Uh ... fire!

DM: Extinguisher!

Danny puts out the fire.

DANNY: It's out! We're OK. (Sam goes look out the window in the front) *To
DM who's at the burnt engine* Can you fix it?

DM: Yes.

DANNY: *To Sam who looks worried* What?

SAM: (Danny's leaning against the glass bubble at the front of the sub) If
it was a strong current, it should be taking us backwards now.

DANNY: But it's not?

SAM: No. We're completely stationary. It's like we're stuck in the mud.

DANNY With out the mud.

Jack and Teal'C's checking around.

JACK: What's that smell?

They go to the kitchen which appears to have smoke in it. I guess they
burned the food! Jack turns off the oven. They spot the ajar door of the
freezer. Jack motions Teal'C to check it out. He opens the freezer ...

And sees MAYBOURNE standing there frozen like an icecycle! <g> LOL!

JACK: Holy Frozen Bad Guys!

I gotta tell you guys! I DID not know who that was! <g> He didn't look like
himself at all! LOL!

Back to the sub ...

DANNY: How's it going?

DM: I think I can fix it.

DANNY: Wait a minute, a few minutes ago you said you could definately fix
it... now you THINK you can?

DM: What do you want to hear? I don't understand why this happened.

DANNY:(ALA Jack O'Neill!LOL!) Well, given the solid craftmanship that went
into this thing, I don't see how this could POSSIBLY have happened.

DM: If you're implying that everything Russian made is of poor quality,
actually ... The sub is Swiss.

DANNY: (Still smartassed!) So they occasially catch fire, but they keep good
time.

DM ignores him. (I DON'T BLAME HER!<g>)

DANNY: Sorry. *To himself* I've been hanging around Jack O'Neill too much.

DM: (Yelling to Danny & Sam)There was nothing impeading us. (To herself) It
shouldn've happened.

SAM: Here's something else that shouldn't be happening. The outside pressure
is increasing.

DM: WHAT?!?!?!?!?! The gage must be malfunctioning.

DANNY: But it's Swiss. LOL! <g> DM looks at him.

SAM: Our depth is constant, and pressure should be relative to depth.

DANNY: And if it keeps increasing?

DM: The sub will implode.

Back to base ...

Jack and Teal'C lay Maybourne down on a table.

TEAL'C: We now know how the Russians inquired the information.

Jack's knocking on Mayborne's face!

JACK: Solid! LOL! (OH! I can't breath. My daughter's freaking out becouse
I'm laughing so hard!)

OK! I'm OK now!

Some kind of steam comes out of Maybourne's mouth.

JACK: Whoa!

TEAL'C: Do not human usually die when they are frozen?

JACK: Usually.

Some more mist comes out of Maybourne's mouth.

JACK: They usually don't breathe when they're dead either.

Back to sub ...

DANNY: So, Slavana, tell us exactly what happened the last time you were
here.

DM: We came thru the stargate just as you did this time. We took the sub
straight to the dialing device and rediled earth. The gate opened, and we
headed thru.

DANNY: That's it?

DM: We collected the water sample just before heading back thru the event
horizon.

SAM: No trouble?

DM: We had to push the engines a little harder to get thru the gate, but I
suspected it was a countermeasure intended to keep the water from flowing
thru the gate.

SAM: It's possible. My research indicated that the gate actually has the
ability to use density & molecular structure and a forse being exerted on
the event horizon to determine whether something is trying to pass thru.

DM: I know, that's where I got the idea.

Sam nods. The ship starts groaning.

Back to base ...

Maybourne moves his hand. Jack looks up at Teal'C.

JACK: Maybourne?

TEAL'C: His heart is beating. Albeat slowly. He is getting warmer O'Neill.

JACK: Maybourne!?

Mayborne moves his eyes. He looks from Jack to Teal'C.

JACK: Ya hear me? (MB looks evily at Jack.)

Back to sub ...

The engines start, but they don't move. DM turns off the engines so she
doesn't burn them up. Danny notes that if they stay there, they will run out
of air. DM points out that the increasing pressure will make the sub implode
long before they run out of air.

DANNY: Or that! <g>

Sam and DM agree that they have maybe an hour left.

DM: The front bubble will be the first to go.

DANNY: Uh ... can we stop agreeing on how we're gonna die, and start doing
something about it?

Back to base ...

MB sits up. Teal'C has his gun on him.

JACK: Allright, that's far enough. *Maybourne turns* Maybourne? *MB's
walking out of the kitchen* MAYBOURNE! STOP!!!! *Teal'C blocks MB's path*
Move again, and I'll shoot! *MB turns again to face Jack*

Maybourne appears to vomit. Jack has a look of discust on his face as MB
throws up what appears to be the water.

JACK: Damn!

MB: Jack ... The freezer!

JACK: What?

MB: *Advancing towards Jack* Move if you want to live! *Jack puts his pistal
in MB's face.* Shoot me if you want to! We're dead if we don't move NOW!!!!

The mist comes up from the floor at Teal'C's feet.

JACK: Teal'C?

Teal'C jumps back gasping in the mist. MB jumps on Jack sending the 2
officers into the freezer.

MB: NO! It's too late for him! JACK!!! You open that door, and we're both
dead, I swear! Ya can't help him!

JACK: Get out of my way.

Thru the glass , Jack sees Teal'C standing up and walking out of the
kitchen.

JACK: What the Hell is going on here?

Back in the sub, they figure out that the liquid is probrably not water.

Back to base ...

MB: It's alive.

JACK: What?

MB: The water. When they exposed it to the air to start a chemical analisis,
it just evaporated. Turned into vapor.

JACK: You were there?

MB: We inhaled it. Didn't give us a choice.

JACK: Who's us?

MB: The scientists and I. I knew what was going on, but I couldn't control
myself. They wanted to go back thru the stargate.

JACK: Who's they?

MB: Lifeforms. In the water. Countless numbers of microscopic organisms.
Intellegent lifeforms!

JACK: Are you trying to tell me this water thinks?

MB: We were killing them They forsed us to take them back thru the gate. The
soldiers tried to stop us. They were shooting. If an infected man was
killed, the fluid came out of him and more were infected. It was chaoes.
Only , the
infected soldiers managed to get to the DHD, and get the gate open. That's
when the base commander enacted the EM protochol to stop it! The infected
men started running thru the gate, trying to escape the gas.

JACK: Why didn't you?

MB: I was cut off from the gateroom. I think the liquid organisms inside me
knew the only way to keep themselves alive was to escape the gas and freeze
themselves. So they forced me in here.

JACK: You were frozen solid when we found you.

MB: THEY kept me alive!

JACK: How do you know all this?

MB: I don't know how, exactly. I just do. They must have communicated it to
me.

JACK: This is the stuff that's in Teal'C now? *MB Nodds his head* How do we
get it out? *MB Shakes his head* Come on, Maybourne! It came out of you!

MB: They needed to go back. You wouldn't let me go. I guess they thought
Teal'C could get them home.

Back to Sub ...

DANNY: What if it's a lifeform?

DM: That is pure assumption.

DANNY: That may explain everything.

SAM: After you collected the sample, you said there was resistance trying to
go back thru the gate.

DANNY: It wasn't the gate causing the resistance, it was the lifeform trying
to prevent you from leaving.

SAM: And now, it's precieving us as some kind of a threat.

The glass on the bubble window cracks. The three look very worried.

Back to Base ...

Teal'C's walking down the corridor.

JACK: Teal'C! *Jack runs up behind the big Jaffa* TEAL'C!!!! *Jack tackles
the big man to the ground* (Shaking Teal'C) Fight it! FIGHT IT!!!! *Teal'C
struggles with Jack, then throws him across the room.*

Teal'C goes in the gateroom and closes the door.

Back to sub ...

The three look at the crack. DM hands the americans some kind of cylinder
thingy.

DM: It's all we've got!

SAM: The pressure alone would ...

The glass cracks some more. The bubble breaks, but the water DOESN'T come in
the sub. It looks like the event horizon. The three humans are flabergasted.

Back to Base! ...

Teal'C is stalking his way to the DHD! He slowly punches in the address.

Back to sub ...

The three are still looking at the water with open mouths. Daniel starts
walking toward the water.

SAM: Daniel?

Daniel puts his hand in the water like only Daniel can! <g>

DM: What's are you doing? WHAT'S HE DOING?!?!?!?!

SAM: Daniel?!

DANNY: (With hand in water) I think it just wants to understand!

DM: (Sounding kinda scared.) What?

DANNY: Us.

The organism grabs Danny, and starts to pull him in. The ladies pull on his
body, and get taken too! (OH! to be the ladies at that time! MMn MMn MMN!)

Shot goes to Jack waking up. Sounds of chevrons locking. Shot goes to Teal'C
hand on the bulb in the middle of DHD. Gate opens up as Jack arrives in
gateroom. Teal'C walks up to the event horizon, and proceeds to vomit the
organism out. Jack looks discusted. The organism comes out of Teal'C and
goes into the event horizon. The gate turns off. Jack walks over to his
friend.

JACK: Teal'C?

TEAL'C: They had no wish to kill me, O'Neill. They only wanted to travel
home.

JACK: That's it? You all right?

TEAL'C: I will be.

The chevrons activate all at once.

JACK: OK! I think we should ... DUCK! (He is sooo cute when he says this!)

They duck, and the energy burst just misses them. They stand up and look at
the open gate. Sam, Danny and DM fly thru the gate, hitting the ramp hard,
grunting.

JACK: Ah! That had to hurt! *He and Teal'C walk over to the three.*

The three are getting up.

JACK: Didn't you guys leave here in a submarine?

The three look at each other, confused.

SAM: We uh ...

DANNY: Last thing I remember, we were being pulled into the ...

Teal'C cocks his head at the confused humans.

SAM: Not really sure what happened, Sir.

Jack and Teal'C exchange looks.

JACK: Here's a thought. We just exchanged hostiges. *Every one looks at each
other confused.* It's just a thought.

Episode 71 - "Window of Opportunity"

We begin on a planet with a yellow sky. The team is setting up equipment.
Jack looks up at the sun thru an extra sunglasses lens. It is an uneven
looking ball of gas. It kinda looks like the solar flare in 1969, but it's
all over, not just in one place.

JACK: Is it suppossed to be doing that?

SAM: It's a coronal mass emmision. Like a solar flare.

JACK: But it's safe, right?

SAM: That's what this equipment is designed to find out. Apart from
disrupting the planet's magnetic field, it might cause a significant
increase in surface radiation.

JACK: But it's Safe, right?

SAM: (Nodding her head) As long as we don't stay here too long, yes, Sir.

JACK: Anyone explain that to Daniel?

Scene goes to Alien guy at desk, and Danny has a piece of paper over the
artifact, and is tracing the glyphs onto the paper with a pencil or crayon.

*Sounds of thunder and wind.*

Danny: I've encountered this script before. It's simular in pronounciation
to a language on our planet called latin. Now, as near as I can tell the
main body of the text represents some kind of planetary history.

ALIEN GUY(AG from now on) : I agree. But isn't it time for you to return
thru the stargate?

DANNY: What I don't understand is the signifigance of this ... some kind of
control mecognism. It's obviously in working order compared with the rest of
the ruins. I wonder if that's significant.

AG grabs some kind of weapon and turns it on.

AG: The storm is approaching, Doctor Jackson. The radiation may be dangerous
for you and your team.

DANNY: OH! Yes, Um ... Major Carter will let us know when we have to leave.
Now, this line recurs several times ... <Some latin Word>

AG: Concurer of time?

DANNY: In this context it seems more like Master of the uncertain past.

AG: You're a skilled lenguist, Doctor Jackson.

DANNY: OH! Thank you! Actually, I heard the language spoken aloud a year or
so ago.

AG plays with the device making it beep.

DANNY: What's that?

AG: The geomagnetic desturbance is reaching its peak. I have to act now.

Danny looks away, and then back to AG. AG has the weapon pointed at Danny.

DANNY: I don't understand.

AG shoots a lighted laser at Danny. Danny falls to the ground. AG draggs an
uncontious Danny to the rocks, and starts pressing on the panel.

SAM: All set up, Sir.

JACK: Good. Let's hit it! *into 2 way radio* Daniel! Let's go home. *no
responce* Daniel?! (The three walk over to the AG and the desk/contol panel)

Sound of electricity crackling is heard.

TEAL'C: O'Neill ...

JACK: Yeah, I hear it.

You see the electricity crackling and crawling up the poles. It shoots out
to the stargate, making the chevrons lock. The wormhole opens, nearly
hitting Sam , Jack, and Teal'C who were standing in front of it. The three
duck just
in time.

In the gateroom ...

Technitian: Incoming wormhole.

The irised gate has electricity on it.

GENERAL HAMMOND (GH FNO) What is that?!?!?!

TECH: I have no idea , Sir.

JACK: Are you doing this?

AG: STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!

SAM: Daniel?

JACK: What the hell are you doing?

AG: Stay Back!!!!

Jack and Teal'C are struggling with AG while Sam is helping Daniel. Jack,
Teal'C and AG are hit with what appears to be lightning.

SAM: COLONEL!!!!!??!?! (I wonder who she loves! <g>)

OK! For future refference, anytime you see *BL,* that means bright light,
which is what the time loop looks like, OK?

*BL* (See? The first time loop has occured!) <g>

Shot goes to a close up of a spoon of Froot Loops. (FL from now on!)

DANNY: ...Anyway, I'm sorry. But that just happens to be the way I feel
about it ... What do you think?

Jack looks up from his FL with a confused look.

JACK: What?

DANNY: What do you think?

Jack looks from Danny to Sam and back again several times.

SAM: Colonel? Is something wrong?

JACK: Maybe.

Jack looks down at his FL rather confused.

OPENING CREDITS ...

JACK: Weren't we just somewhere else?

Sam & Danny looks at each other.

DANNY: Where?

JACK: Some planet.

DANNY: When?

JACK: Just now.

DANNY: No.

JACK: Ya sure?

DANNY: Yeah.

Jack looks at his companions, then at the room, then at his spoon of FL and
drops it.

JACK: Everything just changed....

SAM: Sir, we have been sitting in the commensary for the last half hour.

JACK: Really?

DANNY: Although it is understandable how you could have gotten the two
places confused.

Sam smiles.

SAM: We're gonna be late for the briefing.

JACK: Briefing?

DANNY: Are you OK, or are you just avoiding answering my question?

JACK: I'm fine. *A few second later* What question?

The sun from the planet is up on projector in the briefing.

SAM: Two weeks ago, SG-15 took these images of solar activities on P4X-639.
Anylisis of the data indicates a steady increase in intencity. Now, if I'm
right, the explosions are just a percurser from an even greater violent
ejectory.

Shot to Jack with Teal'C behind him. They both look confused.

TEAL'C: MajorCarter. Have we not previously been briefed concerning this
matter?

JACK: I was just gonna say that.

SAM: Sir?

JACK: You wanna go to the planet set up some kind of remote obseratory.

SAM: Yes.

JACK: We just did that.

DANNY: No we didn't.

TEAL'C: I believe we did, DanielJackson.

GH: No, Teal'C. That's what this briefing is about.

JACK: I distinctly remember sitting here listening to Carter prattle on
about solar activity and a ... corona ... something.

SAM: Coronal Mass emmision. I was just about to bring it up.

JACK: There you go. How would I know that?

SAM: Mabe you read my report?

DANNY: (Adoringly skeptical<g>) *Sarcastically* Maybe he READ your report?
(Raises eye brow and smiles)

JACK: I'm telling you guys, we've done this before.

TEAL'C: I am in agreement with O'Neill. I am experiencing a great deal of
familiarity with these event.

Sam looks confused. Alarm goes off.

(Over PA) TECH: Unscheduled off world activation. (In Control Room) We have
an unschdules incoming traveler, Sir.

JACK: It's SG-12.

GH: They're not due back for days.

TECH: Recieving GDO transmission. It's SG-12.

Everyone looks at Jack who raises his eyebrow.

GH: Open the iris.

TEAL'C: One of them will be injured.

SG-12 walks thru the gate. One of them is in fact being helped by another.
General Hammond looks @ Jack & Teal'C . Jack raises his eyebrow again.

GH & Sam are walking down the hallway.

GH: What do you make of all this, Major?

SAM: Well, Sir. I'm not sure.

GH: SG-12's early return was the result of an accident. One of the team fell
and broke his ankle. How could Teal'C & Colonel O'Neill have known that was
going to happen?

SAM: Both of them claim to have momories of SG-1's mission to P4X-639.

GH: A mission that isn't scheduled to start for another six hours.

Next shot is Janet shining a light ...

In Jack's eyes.

DANNY: OK. So, Sam was setting up instruments and ... Where was I?

JACK: You were by the alter deal with the guy.

DANNY: Right. Yo ... You're gonna have to be a little bit more spacific.

TEAL'C: Malikai. (Here Teal'C gives the nurse the cutest look when she
shoves the thermometer in his mouth!)

DANNY: That 's the alien archiologist SG-15 met on the first survey. I was
looking forward to meeting him.

JACK: You did! ... You got along swell. Anyway, at some point, a beam shot
out from the alter and hit the stargate.

TEAL'C: (Taking out thermometer & looking at it!LOL!) There was a blinding
flash of light.

JACK: And then I was back in the commensary eating my froot loops.

Sam & GH walk in.

JANET: Well, Sir. I can't find anything wrong with either one of them. We'll
have to wait for the lab results to be sure, but they both appear to be in
perfect health.

SAM: Except for the facts they're remembering events that haven't even
happened yet.

DANNY: But why Jack & Teal'C, and not us?

GH: I'm not taking any chances. Until we figure out what's going on, I'm
postponing your mission to P4X-639.

Next scene, Jack's walking down hall.

DANNY: Jack! Wait up! Um ... I was thinking about what you said about a beam
coming out of the alter. Uh ... SG-15 took digital images of the carvings in
the ruins. I was thinking there is a clue in here as to what's going on, but
it's the equivilent of about 400 pages of alien text. But uh ... if you can
give me more details about the ... ruins ... it might be
easier to ...

BANG! A newly recovered Siler runs into into Danny knocking him down! LOL!
Siler recovered fast, don't ya think?!?!

SILER: Gee, sorry, Doctor Jackson.

Siler and an Airman (Peter DeLuise) help Danny to his feet.

JACK: Shoulda seen that commin'.

Jack's in the comesary drinking a cup of coffee. Sam walks up to him and
smiles her killowatt smile. <g>

SAM: So ...

JACK: So?

SAM: Don't ya know what I'm gonna say?

JACK: Actually, by this time, we were on the planet. It's all different now.

SAM: OH! Well, I was thinking about what you said about a beam hitting the
stargate.

JACK: (Looking up from his coffee) What about it?

SAM: After the flash, You found yourself back here, (Jack's sticking his
finger in the coffee and taking something out.) and then you were basically
reliving the moments up to the mission. Maybe, you're not remembering future
events. Maybe you were sent back in time.

JACK: For what? Six hours?

SAM: It wouldn't be the first time we've seen something like this. The
stargate did send us back to 1969.

JACK: (Smiles) Good year.

AAARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!! This is where my electricity goes out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SAM:(Smiles) So, I was wondering, could this beam you mentioned be a means
to access the gate's subspace field in order to create some kind of timing
version of side of subspace? (AQ's personal note: HUH?!?!?! <g>)

JACK: (Stares at her for a few seconds) I knew you were gonna say that.

SAM: (Smiles and blushes?) I guess I'm just thinking out loud. I'm gonna go
run a few simulations. (She smiles and gets up.)

JACK: (Smiling) *Sarcastically* You run ... simulate. *Drinks coffee* Let me
know how it turns out. Keep me posted. *To himself* Keep me aprized. *He
sighs & closes his eyes.*

The lab results confirm that they are fine.

The gate starts up. The lightning thing happens to the gate again.

GH: What is that?

TEAH: I'm not sure, Sir. I've never seen anything like it.

JACK: *He and Teal'C are standing behind Tech* We have!

*BL*

Back to Shot of FL.

Danny askes the same question.

Jack looks @ his watch.

SAM: Colonel, is something wrong?

JACK: Oh, yeah! Something.

Jack looks at his 2 companions.

Back to briefing.

SAM: 2 weeks ago, SG-15 ...

JACK: We've done this!

DANNY: We do this every day.

JACK: I'm not talking about briefings in general, Daniel. I'm talking about
THIS briefing! I'm talking about THIS DAY!

Everyone exchanges confused looks.

TEAL'C: Colonel O'Neill is correct. Events do appear to be repeating
themselves.

DANNY: Since when?

JACK: Since we went to P4X-639.

SAM: We haven't been to P4X-639.

JACK: Yes we have. (Points to Daniel) "No, we haven't!" That's what you were
gonna say.

DANNY: Of course, that's what I was gonna say.

JACK: OK! Bad example.

The rest of the team is skeptical as to why only Teal'C and Jack can
remember.

JACK: You'll all believe me when SG-12 comes thru that gate in ... 5 ... 4
... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... *He points his finger* (Silence) <Sam looks out at the
still stargate.> (More silence) <Jack taps his watch>

GH: SG-12 isn't due back for 3 days ...

TECH: Unscheduled offworld activation.

JACK: So close!

Back to medical exam!

JACK: You're not gonna find anything.

Janet wants to wait for the lab results that Teal'C says will be negative.
Jack suggests to the General that they don't postpone the mission. Teal'C
gives the nurse a dirty look when she put the thermometer in his mouth. <g>

Danny gets hit in the hallway by Siler ... again! LOL!

JACK: OOPS!

Jack and Teal are checking in on the lab results with GH. GH finds their
claim about loops hard to believe.

JACK: Hey! If it was just me, I'd say yeah. But what about Teal'C? Does this
look like the face of a crazy man? (Teal'C looks at him with the usual stoic
face) BAD EXAMPLE!!!!


They go back to the planet. The AG acted like he doesn't know them. AG says
he's just an archiologist. Jack finds a weapon in AG's backpack.

JACK: What kind of archiologist carries a weapon?

DANNY: (Raised hand) Uh ... I do! (Danny's soooo cute!) <g>

JACK: BAD example!

Jack finds a holigram of a beautiful woman. AG says it's his wife. The alter
goes crazy. The lightning thing happens.

JACK: (to Sam) What'd you do?

SAM: I didn't do anything! It engaged on its own.

JACK: Turn it off.

SAM: How?

AG: It's drawing energy from the ionization in the atmosphere. There's
nothing MAJOR CARTER can do!

JACK: Excuse me? How'd you know her name?

AG: (Looks @ Sam then @ JAck then back again) You told me.

JACK: No, I didn't. Not this time around.

AG says they're too late. Jack tells Danny to come try to shut the alter
off. Danny says he don't know where to start.

*BL*

Shot of FL, and Danny's mystery question!

Jack drops the spoon and holds his head.

DANNY: Just a question.

Back to briefing.

JACK: All right, here's the deal. We're all stuck in a time loop of some
kind. However, Teal'C and I seams to be the only ones who realize it.

He explains to them about the subspace thingy. He says some thing about
magnets. There's no reason to have doc frasier examine them again.

Next scene ... The examination.

JACK: I ask you ... what could possibly be in my eye to explain this.

Teal'C with the thermometer again. That poor nurse!<g>

Sam and GH are talking about how Jack used scientific words correctly. She
says she is beginning to believe Jack.

Daniel's getting ready to leave his office.

JACK: You're better off in here.

DANNY: I was just going look for you.

JACK: I know.

Daniel starts talking about symbols. He needs to figure out what the alter
says, according to Jack.

Sam suggests they open the gate to the Tollan home world to make the dialers
from 639 get a busy signal. They decide to try that. The 6 chevrons lock.
The seventh chevron will not engage. (AQ!'s personal note: Probrably becouse
the gate they're using is supposed to have burned up on Thor's ship! The
gate has the same Point of Origin. THIS is supposed to be the beta gate that
was found in Antartica!) As Samis running a diagnosis, they get an incoming
wormhole. Jack and Teal'C look at each other. Wormhole is established ...
lightning appears ... Sam looks back and Jack and Teal'C. Jack waves as ...

*BL*

FL and Danny's question.

Jack drops his spoon & Sits back.

JACK: Ask me tommorrow.

Same confused look from Danny & Sam. Jack closes his eyes and sighs.

Back to Danny's office. Danny points out that he'd never be able to
translate all that info in one day.

JACK: I'm a step ahead of ya ... I put the whole thing on tape last time. So
you don't have to start from scratch.

He plays it ... nothing but static!

DANNY: If what you say is true, then when loop started again ... you
recording wouldn've happened yet.

JACK: *Quietly* Yeah ... right.

TEAL'C: Did I not say your plan would be unsucessful?

JACK: (To Teal'C) Careful! *quieter* Be careful. (To Daniel) What about
notes? Indulable ink?

Danny and Teal'C shake their heads. Danny says they have to help him figure
it out by remembering the info from one loop to the other.

JACK: Fine. How hard can this be?

Jack's looking at the paper. Danny turns it around. He was looking at it
upside down! LOL!

Sam theorizes that the loops are making the earth shift away from the rest
of the gate system. That's why they can't dial out. They noted that SG-12
were able to dial in becouse the random sequence of planets that circle
around 639. SG-12 's planet is one of the planets. 639 is right at the
center of the circle. She believes that 639 is somehow connected to the
other planets around it creating a subspace bubble. (I know! I don't
understand it either!) She goes on with her technobabble. GH agrees. (Glad
someone does!) <g>

OK! We move on! Jack's rewading a book Latin For the Novice. He's saying a
lot of latin words, Danny's at the chalk board trying to figure out the
words.

JACK: This is a bad idea.

TEAL'C: It would appear we have no choice.

SG-12 's return is heard.

JACK: *Sighs* You know the worse part of this? Everytime we loop, Daniel
askes me a question and ... I wasn't listening the first time.

TEAL'C: You are not the only one who must endure some discomfort, O'Neill.

Flashback to Teal'C getting hit in the face by a geek with a door.

GEEK: Sorry, Sir. I didn't realize you were there.

TEAL'C: You have said that on many occasions. *Geek studders I, I* Perhaps
next time I will not be so forgiving.

End of flashback.

Danny's talking ...

Jack has a piece of paper on his eyes. He drops it to his lap.

JACK: We've been over this.

TEAL'C: I believe it means the aproaching disaster.

*BL* OK! From here, until further notice, when you see *BL*, Danny will be
at the chalkboard doing his thing. I will tell you what Jack and Teal'C are
doing, OK?

DANNY: The machine surrenders ...

TEAL'C: That is incorrect, DanielJackson.

JACK: The word <some latin word> Means give up, not surrender.

*BL*

Jack's turning around on the chair extremely bored.

*BL*

Jack's juggling something that looks like rocks ... uh ... artifacts.

*BL*

Now he's standing and juggling. Teal'C just watching him.

*BL*

Now Teal'C is standing and juggling. Nice form, NICE biceps! <g> Jack's just
watching him.

*BL*

Daniel turns from the board, and sees both Jack and Teal'C juggling.

DANNY: Guys, you getting this? Because this is important.

*BL*

This is the end of then being in Danny's office.

Jack's in the mess hall. He's looking at a plate, His feet are up on the
table.

TEAL'C: O'Neill? Should we not be assisting DanielJackson with the
translation?

JACK: I'm taking this loop off. *He put 2 blobs of ketsup on the plate.* I'm
tellin' ya, Teal'C, (softly) If we don't find a way out of this soon, I'm
gonna loose it. *Teal'C cocks his head looking confused* Lose it? It means
go crazy ... nuts ... (He gets progressively louder and faster in his
talking!) insane ... Bonzo ... *He's putting more ketchup and mustard on the
plate as he's talking* No longer in possession of one's faculties ... Three
fries short of a Happy Meal ... WACKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *He shows
Teal'C the smiley face he drew on the plate*

*BL*

Jack is writing on the chalkboard.

JACK: *sigh* Teal'C?

TEAL'C: Thank you O'Neill. *Teal'C stands up and walks toward the board.*

JACK: No, No. Thatnk YOU, Teal'C.

Jack sits on the chair , sighs, puts the back of the chair back and rubs his
eyes.

JACK: OH ... GOD!!!!

DANNY: Exactly how many of these loops have you ... we ... been ... thru?

JACK: I've ... lost track.

DANNY: That must be frustrating.

JACK: Uh ... yeah! *Said sarcastically*

DANNY: On the other hand, it's kind of an oppertunity.

JACK: How's that?

DANNY: Well, think about it. If you know in advance that everything will be
going back to the way it was, then ... you could do anything ... For as long
as you want without having to worry about consequences!

Jack and Teal'C look at each other and grin.

JACK: *Standing up* Excuse me. *Jack and Teal'C run out the door.*

*BL*

Jack's taken up pottery. Not so sucessfully. <g>

*BL*

Jack's riding a bike thru the hallway.

JACK: How are you? *To an airman*

AIRMAN: I'm fine ... Sir.

*BL*

Teal'C is hitting a golf ball thru the open stargate.

JACK: Yeah! Out a play. How far is Aloris, anyway? *Jack's teeing up.*

TEAL'C: Several billion miles, O'Neill.

JACK: That's gotta be a record.

Jack's preparing to hit the ball. He hits it. (Very NICE swing!)

*BL*

Back to Jack doing pottery. (He's getting better!)

*BL*

Jack is preparing to hit the golf ball again.

GH: (Yelling) COLONEL O'NEILL!!!!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!?!?!?!

JACK: (telling back <g>) IN THE MIDDLE OF MY BACK
SWING?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?

*BL*

Geek hits Teal'C again.

GEEK: I'm sorry, Sir. I didn't realize ...

Teal'C hits him into the door ... HARD. (Poor guy!) Teal'C smiles.

Jack walkes into the control room dressed in a yellow shirt with a baseball
hit backwards on his head.

JACK: Excuse me, George?

Jack hands George a piece of paper.

GH: Colonel, what are you doing out of uniform?

JACK: *Looking at his watch, and turning to Sam.* Handing you my
resignation.

SAM: You're resigning?! What for?

JACK: *Still looking at his watch* So I can do ... this!

He takes her face in his hands, and kisses her on the mouth. She starts to
put her hand up as he puts his left hand around her neck. His right hand is
at the small of her back. He dips her, moving his left hand to the side of
her breast, and his right hand a little lower ... Somewhere in the kiss, he
slips her the tongue, (I think it's when his face is turned right before he
dips her) becouse she startes to respond by putting her arms around his neck
and the way their mouths are moving, they are definately kissing
open-mouthed! <g>

*BL*

Light shines in Sam's face, making her blue eyes seem bluer. Sam's looking
around.

SAM: What are you smiling at?

Jack's leaning on the table with his hand on his face, grinning. He's
staring at her.

JACK: Nothin'.

Sam looks down at her hands, and smiles.

Everyone is sitting at the briefing table. Daniel says with the help of
Teal'C and Jack, he's managed to complete the translation. He says the
planet once belonged to the Antients. He doesn't know what happened to them.
He thinks that facing certain destruction, the antients built a time
machine. They were gonna go back and change their history, it didn't work.
Time kept looping. Eventually they gave up, and the race died out. Danny
also noticed that the eomagnetic storms, which occur every 50 or so years
caused the time to start looping again. It can be shut down by pushing the
alter bars in the correct sequence.

The team goes to the planet. Teal'C is looking around, and runs into a forse
shiled. The FS knocks the big man backward onto the ground! He lands pretty
hard! The AG knows that they're there to break the time loop , and he
refuses to let them do that. TEAL'C APPEARS TO BE UNCONSIOUS!!!!!!!!!! Jack
throws a rock at the FS, and the rock forseably comes back nearly hitting
Danny & Jack. The AG says he needs more time.

JACK: Why? So you can be the king of Groundhog Day?

AG: You think i would do this for personal power? She ... You wouldn't
understand.

JACK: What happened?

AG: She died. 12 years ago. When I found this place, and discovered it's
true purpose, I dedicated myself to unlocking it's mysteries.

Teal'C is finally waking up.

SAM: So you can go back and save her?

AG: No, that would be quite impossible. She died from a congentital heart
weakness. Not even the ability to travel time could change that.

JACK: Then why are you doing this?

AG: To be with her once more.

DANNY: *Takes off his glasses.* Malikai, the device doesn't work. It never
did.

AG: It never did? You're living proof.

DANNY: We finished translating the text on the ruins. The antients who built
this place never got it to work. They tried over & over again, just like
you, but in the end, they gave up. Why do you think this place has been
deserted so long? They couldn't save themselves.

AG: You're wrong! There must be some other explination. I know I can make
this work.

DANNY: You can't. They proved it can't be done. You're just gonna go on like
this forever, you'll be trapped.

TEAL'C: Along with billions of innocent others.

SAM: This device activated 14 stargates simultaniously. That's 14 worlds
reliving the same day over & over.

AG: I uh ... I didn't realize. But, It doesn't matter. Once I'm able to
input the correct time corridinents, The cycle will be broken.

JACK: The people who made that machine, are the same people who made the
stargates, and they couldn't get the damn thing to work, and even if you
could, just for the sake of arguing, You can't change what happened.

AG: I can ... touch her face again. Talk with her. Hear her laugh ...

JACK: Like you remember?

AG: Yes.

JACK: Then what? Listen to me, I know what it's like!

AG: *Yelling over the lightning and wind* YOU CAN'T!

JACK: I LOST MY SON!!!!!!!!!!!! I know!

Sam closes her eyes.

JACK: And as much as I ... *Calmer now* (Softer) I could never live that
over again. Could you?

AG: *Tearfully* No.

JACK: Let her go.

AG stops the machine. & removes the forse shield. AG looks at his wife. Then
at Jack.

Gate room ... open gate. SG-1 walks thru.

GH: Well, if we're still here Colonel, I guess you were sucessful.

JACK: Well, General, you know what they say, if at first you don't succeed,
TRY ... try ... try ... try, try, try, ... ah ... try again!

Next scene Jack's really enjoying a big glob of oatmeal.

JACK: mmn!

DANNY: I've never seen anybody enjoy oatmeal so much.

JACK: When you've been eating froot loops for who knows how long, a little
variety helps. (He stuffs the oatmeal in his mouth.)

SAM: Well, we got a message from the Tok'Ra. Apparently, they've been trying
to contact us for over 3 months.

JACK: (Mouth full of oatmeal) Really?

SAM: Who knows when they first realized that we were cut off. I mean,
there's really no way of telling how much time passed.

DANNY: (Jack's still enjoying his oatmeal) Let me ask you something, in all
the time you were ... um ... looping, were you ever tempted to ... uh ... um
... do something crazy? I mean, you could do anything without worrying about
consequences.

Sam looked at Jack.

JACK: You know, it's funny, you've asked me that before.

DANNY: And?

Jack shifts his eyes from Danny to Sam. He's staring at her. She and Danny
look at each other. She looks at Jack, while Daniel's still looking at her.
(AQ!'s observation: if Danny didn't know before, he suspects now!) Jack
smiles a shit eating grin, and puts the spoon of oatmeal to his mouth, and
eats it, npot taking his eyes off of Sam.

Episode 70 - "Divide and Conquer"

We begin with the opening scene of the planet they're on. It kinda looks
like New Mexico. Sandy with rocks that look like stonehenge!

Jack, Marty, Tok'Ra Spice, Major Graham and Captain Blasdale are sitting at
a table.

JACK: Tuesday doesn't work for the president.

MARTY: The high council of the Tok'Ra is making his first journey to earth
to sign an official treaty that outlines our new alliance in the fight
against the Goa'uld, what could possibly be more important than that?

GRAHAM: Keeping that treaty a secret from the general population of our
planet.

JACK: It's a tricky proposition where we're from.

DANNY: The President means no disrespect, but he has to appear before
Congress on Tuesday, and there's no way to make up an excuse to get out of
that.

JACK:(signing) Wednesday? How's Wednesday?

TOK'RA HIGH COUNCIL GUY: Wednesday will be fine.

Martouf stands when hearing the THC guy's voice. Everyone else stands, and
Marty walks toward the THC guy.

MARTY: Colonel O'Neill, Doctor Jackson, Major Graham , Captain Blasdale ...

Next shot is Graham with the Goa'uld thingy in his hand. Then back to Marty
bowing to the THC guy.

MARTY: ... May I present Surpreme High Counciler Per'Sus?

Per'Sus: Please, forgive me for being late.

DANIEL: (bowing @ Per'Sus) It is an honor to meet you.

In back of Danny, you see Maj. Graham aim the Goa'Uld thingy @ Per'Sus.

JACK: LOOK OUT!!!!!!!!!

Graham shoots the red blast thru a Tok'Ra bodyguard, and hit Per' Sus in the
chest, knocking him down. Captain Blasdale tries to get the thingy from
Graham, and Graham blows a hole thru the Captain. Another Tok'Ra bodyguard
tries to hit Graham with a ZAT gun, and gets shot as well. Then, he turns
toward Tok'Ra Spice who is hiding behind the table. Jack sees this, and
jumps on TS & brings her to the floor, bearly being missed by the blast.
Daniel looks flabergasted. Graham's eyes are wide as he has the thingy
pointed at the Colonel.

JACK: Graham!!!!

The Major has a look of angst on his face as his hand is shaking.

GRAHAM: (Crying) Stop ... Stop ... stop me!

Graham presses the Thingy, and a yellow light covers his body. Jack, Marty,
and Danny hide there heads below their hands as you hear an explosion, then
see black stuff flying. (I'm assuming it's Graham!) Jack & Danny pick their
heads up with a confused look on their faces.

OPENING CREDITS ...

Jack and Danny watch as they take the bloody, dead bodies away on a gurney.
Marty walks in.

MARTY: Fortunally, High Counceler Per'Sus is going to recover.

Sam walks in.

SAM: What happened?

JACK: I'd like to know that.

DANIEL: Well, the High Counceler came in, Martouf introduced us, and Graham
went nuts.

SAM: And he pulled a weapon?

MARTY: It seemed to be of Goa'uld origin.

JACK: Look, Martouf ---

MARTY: Obviously, I do not believe you were complicid with Major Graham's
actions.

Jack nodds his head.

DANNY: We weren't, but just out of curiosity, how can you be sure we
weren't?

MARTY: (Thinks a second) I cannot.

TOK'RA SPICE (TS from now on!) (Walks up): I can. Major Graham was a Zatarc.

JACK: (Raises eyebrows) A what?

TS: The victim of Goa'Uld mind-control technology.

DANIEL: (same raised eyebrow as Jack!): What?

TS: I believe a mission is programed into the victim's subconsious. That
programing is covered with false memory.

JACK: You knew this threat was out there?

MARTY: Freya has presented her theories to the High Council, but it is only
conjecture. The existance of this technology is thus far unconfirmed.

JACK: Now, you see, this is just the kind of irresponsible, uncooperative
---


TS: (cutting him off) : I agree, Colonel. Unfortunally, the High Council did
not. Despite the fact that I documented three incidents within the last two
months. Otherwise healthy Tok'Ra operatives suffered sudden extreme behavior
episodes, each ending in suicide.

JACK: And no red flags went up for anyone?

MARTY: A weapon like this had not been used before.

SAM: So the person in question doesn't know what's going to happen?

TS: No, they're apparently unaware their minds had been tampered with. The
instruction seems to be triggered by an audio or visual signal.

DANNY: Obviously, the High Councelor was the target.

TS: Apparently, when Major Graham was introduced to Per'sus, the programing
took over. He would have been unable to control his actions after that.

SAM: But this is theoretical?

TS: It is difficult to prove becouse of lack of evidence. I believe violent
self-destructive behavior is an integral part of the programing meant to
ensure that result.

DANNY: How exactly does one get turned into a zatarc?

TS: The programing only seems to require moments of access to the victims.

JACK: Alright, Had we known any of this, we might have been able to take a
few more precautions.

MARTY: We could not have taken any more precautionsthan we did, Colonel.

DANIEL: But we could have more of these preprogramed time bombs out there
waiting to go off.

MARTY: It is likely that if the Goa'uld knew Major Graham was going to be
here to meet the high councelor ...

SAM: ... then they know about the treaty summit.

MARTY: They're goal was undoubtably to sabatage our alliance.

DANNY: Then the president could also be a target.

MARTY: It is the high councelor's wish to continue with the treaty summit.

JACK: Oh! I don't think so!

MARTY: In 2000 years, the Tok'Ra have not bowed to Goa'Uld terrorism. We
will not start now.

TS: Either way, it is true that any of your personelle who may have
encountered the goa'uld in the last 2 months may have fallen victim.

MARTY: The problem is, Zatarc programming is vertually impossible to detect.

TS: That is not true.

Here's where Marty & TS sound like they're having a lover's quarrel! <g>
Jack looks like he's witnessing a tennis game! LOL!

MARTY: You're method is unproven.

TS: It worked on one occasion.

MARTY: Even that is in question.

TS: It is all we have right now.

JACK(interrupting) <annoyed>: Excuse me!? long pause Do we or do we not have
a ZANAX (Yes! He said ZANAX, not Zatarc!) detector??

Cuts to a COOOLLLL shot of going thru the wormhole!

Martouf & TS walk thru carrying the Zatarc detector.

GENERAL HAMMOND (GH from now on!): <to Jack> Colonel. <turning to the
Tok'Ra> Martouf, Anise, on behalf of the SGC, I want to offer my sincerest
appologies and condolences for the lives of the lost Tok'Ra.

The Snakeheads bow their heads.

MARTY: High councelor Per'Sus also send regrets for men of the SGC that were
lost. We consider Maj. Graham as much a victim as anyone.

GH: All outstanding SG teams are being recalled for screening and placed on
24 hour watch.

TS: I would like to begin with the remaining members of Major Graham's team.
There was obviously oppertunity to program him on a recent mission.

GH: (Pointing ) This Way. Major Carter?

Sam nods her head & follows them. Jack & Teal'C watch them go.

JACK: They're at it again.

Shot of Cheyenne Mountain. Then to GH & Janet walking down the hall.



Janet: (to GH) I completed my autopsy on Maj. Graham. There was an
inidentifiable residue from the explosion, but no indication he was under
any kind of chemical influence. To be honest, Sir, if the Goa'uld were
trying to cover up their work, they did a good job.

GH: What about the infomation about the Zatarcs provided by the Tok'Ra?

JANET: Pretty limited to speculation, Sir. I did a full examination of Major
Graham before he went to Vorash, and he seemed to be in perfect health. His
bloodwork was clean, last psych evaluation was normal. If his brain was
altered in any way, It was done by a tenhnology far beyond my understanding.

GH: This zatarc detector actually works?

JANET: It's alien technology. I have no way of knowing.

GH: So we're completely in the hands of the Tok'Ra?

JANET: Colonel must be happy about that.

GH: I'm not thrilled about it myself.

Next shot is TS at the Machine.
Leutenent Astor walks in.

TS: Hello, Leutenent Astor. Please have a seat.

TS & an airman strap Astor to the chair.

TS: Try to stay calm. Direct your vision here.

TS puts a light that looks like a laser in Astor's eye. Looks like the laser
scaned around her iris.

TS: I will ask you some questions and read your thoughts. Please answer as
truthfully as possible.

OOPS! Looks like when I went check the door, my VCR taped over this
part!!!!! AARRGGHHHHHH!!!!!! Anyway, Astor has a false memory of a fire
fight with some Jaffa. The machine says she's lying. OK! I've calmed down!
I'm just glad it's not a shippy part!!!! Alright, on with the show!

TS: She is a zatarc. Leutenant Astor's mind has been altered.

JACK: Ya think so?

GH: What do we do?

Shot to Marty looking @ TS .

TS: There is a procedure we could try.

GH: Is it safe?

TS: It's experimental at best.

JACK: General, need I remind you what happened the last time we trusted this
... woman?

TS: You are refering to my symbiote, Anise, Colonel, and I would not suggest
this if I thought there was a better alternative.

GH: What's the worst case synerio??

MARTY: The procedure actually damages the portune of the brain that has been
affected by the zatarc technology.

TS: Lt. Astor could lose more than just a false memory.

JACK: How much more?

TS: It won't be clear until after the procedure.

GH: I hate siting here deciding the fate of one of my officers, but what
choice do we have?

JACK: General ...

GH: The security of this base and this planet can not be compromised.

TS: Furthermore, when her programming is triggered, she will ineviddably
become someone self destructive.

Jack & GH share a look.

GH: Let's give Lt. Astor the choice.

JACK: Some choice.

Astor is being strapped to the chair ... again!

ASTOR: I have to admit, I'm a little scared. A short pause (tearfully with
shaking voice) Actually that's not true ... I'm terrified!

TS: I understand. Please try to stay calm.

ASTOR: I swear I shot that Jaffa! Maj. Graham returned with Captain Blasdale
and Sergent Lewis.

TS: You said you were surrounded. The Jaffa were everywhere. 6 other SGC
team members died that night, yet you and your team members managed to get
thru unharmed.

ASTOR: I thought we were just that good.

Shot goes to Jack looking down.

TS: I am going to begin.

TS puts a light on Astor's head.

ASTOR: (Painfully) It Hurts! Please ... STOP!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!?!?!?!?!? ...
STOP!!!!!!!!

MARTY: Stop the procedure!

When TS stops the procedure, Astor unrestrains herself, grunting, she knocks
down a couple of airmen grabs one of their guns, and shoots it thru the
observation window.

JACK: (At door) ASTOR!!!!??!?!

TS: NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As Astor turns the gun toward herself and
blows her brains out.

GH: (Into red phone) Thank you , Doctor. Both SF's suffered serious
injuries, but they're gonna be OK.

TS: The Goa'uld programming must have a failsafe that prevents it from being
tampered with. I am sorry you have lost another member of your team. I hold
myself accountable.

GH: The Goa'uld are altemately accountable.

TS: Unfortunally, we can not annalize the affected area of the victim's
brain post-mortum due to the self inflicted damage.

JACK : Does that really make a difference?

TS: I belive it does. Yes.

GH: There will be no summit unless I can be sure the president isn't in
danger.

TS: We can complete the Zatarc testing in time.

JACK: And if we find more?

GH: Greater things than the summit could be in jeaparty, Colonel. Proceed.

JACK: Well this is fun! Whose next?

TS: SG-1.

JACK : Do'h!

Next shot, Janet & Marty are looking up at the lie detector monitors in the
observation room.

TS: Good, Colonel. Now lets move to your mission on PX9-997.

JACK: Drawin' a blank.

TS: Your mission was to destroy a new ship being built by Apophis.

JACK: You know all about that.

TS: The device only works if you recapture your exact memories.

DANNY: At that piont we realized they wouldn't come off.

TS: You can jump ahead to the part where you went thru the gate.

SAM: We were so strong and fast, the Jaffa on the other side didn't stand a
chance.

Cool shot of the 3 going thru the gate at superman speed, knocking down all
the jaffa guarding the gate.

TEAL'C: General Hammond ordered me to follow. I went thru the gate a few
minutes after the rest.

TS: So you were alone a short time before meeting up with the rest of SG-1?

TEAL'C: Yes.

DANNY: Um ... I went after the naquada.

Shot to Danny knocking down the Jaffa carrying the naquada. He's picking it
up.

JAFFA: Don't move!

Danny throws a block of naquada at the Jaffa, knocking him down! LOL!

TS: After that?

DANNY: I headed back to meet Jack & Sam.

JACK: When I realized Carter wasn't with me, I stopped.

Shows Jack running thru Forse shield. Sam hits the shield and falls down.
Jack turns.

JACK: I went back for her.

TS: What happened next?

JACK: That's when your genius armbands fell off.

Slowmotion scene of Jack running. He sees her, but hits the forse shield.

TS: You couldn't get thru the shield?

JACK: No.

SAM: When I woke up, I saw colonel O'Neill uncontious on the floor on the
other side of the FS. I called his name, and he woke up.

TS: Then what?

SAM: I realized there was no way I was gonna get thru that forse shield. I
told the Colonel to try to get out without me.

TS: To leave you behind?

SAM: Yes. The timer on the C-4 was counting down. I knew that without the
advantage of the armbands, it was gonna be tight getting back to the
stargate before the ship's power core exploaded.

TS: What did Colonel O'Neill do?

Shot of Jack banging the control panel.

SAM: Sir, there's no time.

Jack & Sam look down the hall at the advancing Jaffa.

JACK: Couple of Jaffa came around the corner.

TS: And then? ...

SAM: We got lucky.

TS: That's it?

SAM: Yeah. The C-4 explosion must have taken out the generator.

Cool explosion shot here!

SAM: See that? The FS disappeared, and ... we ran.

TS: Sounds easy.

SAM: Well ... I wouldn't say that.

TS: Are you sure you're telling me everything?

Sam nods her head.

SAM: (a few seconds later) OH! ... Uh ... I tried to go for the naquada.

Sam's trying to pick up the naquada.

JACK: Carter, forget that. Leave it!

SAM: But Colonel O'Neill ordered me to leave it.

TS: That's everything?

SAM: (After seconds of thinking) Yeah. (TS looks down @ machine) You're not
serious?

Machine shows that they are lying.

Jack does an adorable scope around the room. Marty & GH look @ each other,
and Janet just shakes her head. He looks confused.

JACK: What??!?

GH: (In the red phone) We still don't know any of the parties involved. In
the event we do proceed, I'm sending a new plan for your arrival. Pause Yes,
Sir ... both Colonel O'Neill & Major Carter. pause I'll pass that along.
Thank you, Mr. President. (He hangs up the phone with a VERY worried look on
his face!)

Jack walks in Sam's room.

JACK: (to guard) Give us a second, huh?

SAM: Sir, this has to be a mistake.

JACK: Tell me about it.

SAM: Can you talk to GH about getting me retested, I mean I'm ...

JACK: (interrupting) Us. (Smiles)

SAM: What?

JACK: Us retested. Here, Sam closes her eyes, you know the look! Apparently,
I'm one of those zarc-thingy's too. (yes! he said Zarc-thingy's ) LOL! I'm
across the hall.

SAM: That can't be.

JACK: I know.

SAM: Although we were both unconsious at the same time.

JACK: Apparently.

SAM: Sir, are you worried that its at least possible?

JACK: A little.

Next scene is in the briefing room. Teal'C, GH, TS, Marty , Janet, And
Danny, are at the table.

TEAL'C: I do not believe that Col. O'Neill & Maj. Carter are Zatarcs.

DANNY: We can't prove they aren't.

MARTY: We must continue to keep them isolated in order to prevent them from
being exposed to their programing triggers.

GH: We don't know that the president is the intended target.

TS: No.

GH: Then we're talking about keeping them confined indefinately.

JANET: At least until we can come up with another course of action.

TS: The good news id we have found no more zatarcs among SGC personnel. The
HC & his advisers have also been tested back on Vorash. There should be no
danger to the summit meeting.

GH: I want good news regarding Col. O'Neill & Maj. Carter. (Rising)

JANET: We'll keep working on it, Sir.

MARTY: What shall I tell the HC reguarding the meeting with the president?

GH: It's on.

Jack's in his room playing with a yo-yo. He has his feet on the desk. Knock
on door.

JACK: Yeah?

TS walks in!

JACK: Oh. You.

TS: You are probrably not happy to see me. <DUH?!?!?!?!>

JACK: Well, if you're not here to tell me it's all a big mistake, I might be
a little glum.

TS: I came to appologize. It is sort of our fault you are a Zatarc ... maybe
a little more Anise than me.

JACK: I knew that. I just don't know why yet.

TS: The experiment with the armbands was the reason you went to destroy
Apophis's ship.

JACK: Hey, listen. What if you're wrong about Carter and me Zatarcs?

TS: I don't believe that's possible.

JACK: Swell.

She looks at him stares, even.

JACK: Is there something else?

TS: I have not thanked you for saving my life both times.

JACK: No offence. but I would have done it for anyone.

She kisses him. He drops his feet. His hands are on his lap, then he picks
them up, to push her away. His kiss is closed mouth, not like AU Sam in POV,
where he puts his hand on her shoulder, and gives her a slightly open
mouthed kiss. <g>

JACK: Uh ... What ya doin'? (Confused look)

TS: I originally came from a planet where the people were not afraid to show
their effection for someone. When we wanted to Lo'Machen ...

JACK: Excuse me?

TS: I believe you call it ...

JACK: ... Something else.

TS: Anise, my symbiote, is far more interested in Doctor Jackson on an
intelectual level, but she would have to suffer.

JACK: Look, there's so many reasons why this is wrong. Weird ... Wrong ...
Did I mention wrong?

TS: Is it becouse I share my body with Anise?

JACK: For starters.

TS: Then you do not find me attractive?

JACK: Oh ... You're ... The slut kisses him again. She gets no responce
again. Hey ... I could blow here any minute.

TS: If I was the target, your Zatarc programming would have triggered long
ago.

JACK: Good point.

TS: Is there someone else to whom you are loyal?

JACK: (Doing some major league studdering!) Th ... Th ... Th ... That's not
really the point here, is it? <Yes! He said Th ... 3 times before getting it
out!>

TS: I sence you have been made unconfortable by my offer.

JACK: No! No ... it's just ... thinks Well, yeah!

TS: I had heard that the humans of earth had many inhabitions and stigmas
concering intamacy.

JACK: Yes, Yes, I've heard that too. There's also the matter of timing.

TS: I am hopeful we can help both you and Maj. Carter.

JACK: Then maybe you should be out doing that, don't ya think?

TS: Once again I find myself feeling the need to appologize.

JACK: (Escorting her out) OH! No need! We're adults.

TS: I will learn more about your customs so I will not make you
unconfortable again.

JACK: Good idea. Bye!

Danny & Marty discuss the wording of the treaty. Boring! Not shippy. TS
walks in and says something along the lines of if they keep the 2 confined
they will be endangeing them. They will not be able to do what they're
programmed to do, and become self destructive.

We skip to Sam and Marty's conversation. She's writting a letter to Daddy.
Marty says he sent word to Jacob to come. Marty suggests doing the procedure
that was done on Astor. Marty said it failed becouse it was stopped before
it
was finished. Marty tells her he not only wants to not loose Jolinar, but
he's grown quite fond of her as well. She smiles.

Goes to Danny & Jack. Danny's explaining the procedure to Jack.

JACK: What's Carter say?

DANNY: I don't know, Martouf is explaining it to her.

JACK: What would you do?

DANNY: I honestly don't know.

JACK: She made a pass at me.

DANNY: (Cute confused look!) Sam?!?!?

JACK: Anise, Freya, one of them.

DANNY: Really?

JACK: The host half.

DANNY: Uh ... that's odd.

JACK: You're telling me. Odd timeing too, don't ya think?

DANNY: (Raised eyebrow) Yes.

JACK: Apparently, the snake likes you.

DANNY: Really? You know, I think these are the Jack O'Neill moments I'll
probrably miss the most.

They look at each other and both say "What?"

Janet's telling everyone she plans to sedate Jack & Sam for the duration of
the president's stay.

Janet's wheeling the IV thing into Jack's room.

JANET: It's the only way to be absolutely sure you won't hurt yourself.

JACK: No Choice?

JANET: NO. It'll be like falling asleep.

JACK: For how long?

JANET: As long as it takes to find a treatment with better odds than the one
we have available.

Teal'C walks in.

JACK: Come to say your goodbyes?

TEAL'C: If there's anything that you require?

JACK: Another option.

TS: There is still time to try the procedure.

JACK: You said if you could have done a proper autopsy on Astor, you might
have been able to solve this thing.

TS: It would have provided much more information.

JACK: I'll do it.

DANNY: What?!?!

JACK: Hey, I've done the drugged out-straped to the bed thing.

DANNY: What if what happened to Astor happens to you?

JACK: Maybe it'll help Carter. Her brains worth a lot more than mine.

Sam: What??!? He can't!

DANNY: He's on his way down now.

SAM: Why is he doing this?

DANNY: He said he'd rather take the risk instead of being put to sleep
indefinately.

SAM: But, Astor ...

JANET: He said we can use what we learn to save you.

DANNY: (As Sam's running toward the door) Sam ...

SAM: (being stoped by MP's) Colonel ...

Jack looks back at her.

SAM: You have to stop him!

JANET: Sam, please. I have to do this.

Sam closes her eyes.

The THC are comming thru the gate. GH , Marty & Danny greet them.

Janet's preparing to sedate Sam.

SAM: Janet ... (She closes her eyes again)

Jack is being strapped to the chair. Teal'C stands beside him with the ZAT
gun pointed at him.

JACK: Right.

The THC guys complinents Danny on the treaty. Danny's not listening. His
mind is somewhere else.

Back to Sam ...

SAM: Colonel ...

She sees him walking in the hall again. Then she see him beating the control
panel on Apophis's ship.

SAM: Sir, there's no time!

JANET: We may have to increase the dose.

SAM: The C-4's gonna blow, you have to get out of her.

JACK: NO!!!!!!!!!!

Sam wakes up.

SAM: The machine was wrong! You don't understand. We lied. We didn't even
know we were lying. Please?

TS: If you are ready, we will begin.

JANET: (Knocking on window, thru mike) STOP!

JACK: Carter, what's up?

SAM: Could we have a moment alone please? Thanks.

JACK: Carter, undo this. What's going on?

SAM: We're not Zatarcs.

JACK: How do you know?

SAM: The machine thinks we have false memories, but we were lying.

JACK: I wasn't lying.

SAM: Ok. You left something out.

JACK: No, I didn't.

SAM: Sir, when you wouldn't leave me, are you sure there wasn't something
else that you're not admitting?

JACK: What are you talking about?

SAM: Something neither one of us can admit given our working relationship,
our military ranks ...

JACK : OH!!!! ... quieter Oh, that.

SAM: Sir, we weren't telling the whole truth, and that's why the machine
said we were lying.

JACK: Really?

SAM: Retest him.

Shot of Presidential enterage arriving.

TS: Major Carter was trapped behind the FS.

Flashback to Jack hitting the Control panel. Trying to pull it apart.

SAM: Sir, there's no time!

Jack gets up, and looks behind Sam, she looks at him.

JACK: There were sounds.

TS: You did everything you could.

JACK: Yes.

TS: You couldn't save her?

JACK: No.

TS: But you still could have saved yourself.

JACK: I guess.

FB to Jack beating the FS.

SAM: Sir ...

JACK: I know! I know!

TS: What happened next?

FB to Jack beating the CP.

SAM: Sir! Just go!

JACK: (Standing up) NO!!!!!!!!!!!!

He stares into her eyes. She has like a pleading look in her eyes. Back to
him staring in her eyes. She cocks her head to the side with the pleading
look. He now has a confused look on his face. You can hear Jaffa-steps in
the background. Jaffa appears.

TS: What were you feeling?

JACK: Like ... someone who was about to die.

Detector shows signs of lying!!!!

SAM: Sir ... She looks him in the eyes.

FB to the face to face with the FS between them. They're just looking in
each other's eyes. She has the pleading look.

JACK: I didn't leave ... becouse I'd have rather died myself ... than loose
Carter.

Sam looks him in the eyes, then does her closed eyes thing.

TS: Why?

JACK: Becouse I care about her ... (serious eye contact here!) Alot more
than I'm supposed to. (More eye contact)

TS: You are not a zatarc.

SAM: Now, retest me.

TS: You are also not a zatarc.

SAM: Thank you.

Jack goes unfasten Sam.

JACK: Carter ...

SAM: Sir ... None of this has to leave this room.

JACK: (Confused & kinda disappointed look) We're OK with that?

SAM: Yes, Sir.

He looks her up and down ... kinda like for Out of Mind ... and nods his
head.

Here's where they try to figure out who could be a zatarc.

Marty ends up being it, and tries to kill the president, and gets shot up.
He get ZATed by Teal'C. Sam walks in .

MARTY: Samantha ...

She shoots him. He's dead. :-((

TS: I promise you, his death will ultimately be a noble sacrafice.

Sam's holding Marty on the floor as the show ends ...

Episode 69 - "Crossroads"

We see the gate activating and guards surrounding it with their weapons
drawn. This iris is closed.

WALTER DAVIS:(on intercom) Off world activation, repeat, we have an off
world activation.

CONTROL ROOM We see Hammond and Jack come into the room.

DAVIS: We're receiving Bra'Tac's IDC sir.

JACK: Bra'Tak?


HAMMOND: Open the iris, have Teal'C come to the gate room.

GATE ROOM

Jack walks in and we see a lone cloaked figure exit the wormhole. The guards
aim their weapons at the figure. The figure removes the cloak and reveals
herself as a beautiful woman. She spreads her arms in a gesture of peace.

SHO'NAC : I mean you no harm.

The gate disengages.

JACK: Bra'Tak! .you've ... done something with your hair!

HAMMOND: (in control room)Identify yourself!

SHO'NAC: I am Sho'Nak of the Red Hills. Master Bra'Tak opened the Chappa'ai
but was unable to accompany me.

JACK: Why is that?

SHO'NAC: There is much unrest on Chulak. He took great risk in sending me
here. (Teal'C enters the gate room. )Teal'C!

TEAL'C (surprised): Sho'Nak!

JACK: (to Teal'C) Friend of yours?

TEAL'C: Indeed.

Jack signals for the guards to lower their weapons. Sho'Nak walks down the
ramp to Teal'C and they stand staring at each other holding hands.

SHO'NAC:Kell matee Teal'C.

TEAL'C: Kell matee!

JACK: (Clearing his throat to get Teal'C's attention) Teal'C . how about a
little introduction of some sort.

SHO'NAC: There is no need. (to Jack) BRA'TAC has told me much of the Tau'ri.
You are O'NEILL.TEAL'C'S apprentice.

O'NEILL: Yes.(realizes what she said) apprentice?



TEAL'C smiles .

SHO'NAC: Also a warrior of great skill and cunning.

O'NEILL: Apprentice?

HAMMOND enters.

SHO'NAC: HAMMOND of Texas, a great and strong leader among humans.

HAMMOND: What can we do for you?

SHO'NAC: You must take me to the Tok'ra immediately. (O'NEILL raises his
eyebrow) I have information that could destroy the Goa'uld. (Everyone looks
at her)

BRIEFING ROOM

SG1, HAMMOND, JANET and SHO'NAC are sat around the table.

SHO'NAC: I have found a way to communicate with my symbiote.

JACK (to TEAL'C) Is that possible?

TEAL'C: It is not.

SHO'NAC: That is what we were trained to believe TEAL'C. The Goa'uld have no
wish for the Jaffa to influence their young.

DANIEL: That makes sense.

TEAL'C: How then was this communion achieved?

SHO'NAC : Within a deep state of Kel'no'reen.

SAM: Well we know that the symbiote is completely isolated from the Jaffa
who carries it. How can there be communication?

JANET: Medically speaking the symbiote acts almost like an internal organ.
There's an exchange of hormones and electrical impulses but it's on a
completely unconscious level.

HAMMOND: It's a function of their immune system.

SHO'NAC: It has taken many years but I have raised that primal communication
to the conscious level.

DANIEL: Oh ok, assuming that you err.what do you talk about?

SHO'NAC: I have convinced it that the Goa'uld are evil. That its own desires
for power and domination are wrong. It is willing to join the Tok'ra and
reveal all Goa'uld secrets to them. (She looks at HAMMOND )

O'NEILL: I know I'm just the apprentice at this table but.

TEAL'C: Why then not instruct this symbiote to deliver these secrets
directly?

O'NEILL: Exactly.

SHO'NAC: We do not communicate in words. It is more feelings, images,
memories. It will only be fully capable of communicating the knowledge it
was born with once it takes a host.

CARTER: And since you convinced it that the Goa'uld are evil it ill only
take a willing host?

SHO'NAC : (in pain) It is most urgent!

TEAL'C: Your symbiote is ready to take a host even now!

SHO'NAC: It has already passed its time. You have my word that it will harm
no one. I have convinced it to wait!



JACK raises his eyebrows in disbelief.

JANET: Once a Goa'uld larvae leaves the body the Jaffa's immune system stops
functioning. You're putting yourself at great risk.

SHO'NAC: I believe that risk is worth taking. If you would take me to the
Tok'ra immediately?

HAMMOND: We can't do that I'm sorry.

SHO'NAC: (Seeing everyone's disbelieving faces) You do not believe I speak
the truth.

DANIEL: No, it's not that we don't believe you.

TEAL'C (interrupting): We do not. What you say cannot be proven.

O'NEILL : I think what TEAL'C is trying to say is that.

TEAL'C: I have said precisely what I intended O'NEILL! (They stare at each
other. )

JACK: Ok then I guess what I'm trying to say is that we'd like to believe
you, we really would.

SHO'NAC: You have my word.(looks around) but that is not enough! (She stands
to leave) Then the secrets of the Goa'uld will die with me!

HAMMOND: SHO'NAC please understand?

SHO'NAC (in pain as the snake stirs) I do understand General HAMMOND, BRA'
TAC was wrong about the wisdom of the Tau'ri! (She collapses to the floor in
agony. Everyone stands alarmed. )

TEAL'C: SHO'NAC! SHO'NAC! (The symbiote suddenly half emerges from her
pouch. Everyone is shocked. JACK looks disgusted at the symbiote. )

HAMMOND (to guard) Airman! (The guard aims his gun at the symbiote. )

TEAL'C (Hands up): Do not! (SHO'NAC whispers in Goa'uld to the symbiote and
it recedes into her pouch. SHO'NAC passes out. )

TEAL'C: Dr FRASIER you may now approach.

JANET: ( runs over to help SHO'NAC. ) We need to get her to the infirmary.


INFIRMARY

JANET is monitoring SHO'NAC who is asleep in an infirmary bed. TEAL'C is sat
on the bed watching her. JACK and HAMMOND are also present. JANET walks over
to HAMMOND and JACK.

JANET: She wasn't exaggerating. The symbiote is fully adult.

JACK: Yeah, saw that!

HAMMOND: So her immune system is breaking down?

JANET: Yes, I'm not sure how long the symbiote will remain before it has no
choice but to seek out a new host. That is its primal instinctual behavior.
I may have to recommend quarantine sir.

HAMMOND (to JACK) Well if you think so?

JACK: (Shocked) Absolutely.sir!

SHO'NAC: (Quietly) No.

JANET: (Walks over to bed) I gave you a sedative. You should be asleep.

SHO'NAC: Col-mah has neutralized the sedative.

JANET: Col-mah?

TEAL'C (angrily) : It mean's child. (To SHO'NAC) The demon you carry within
you in no child!

SHO'NAC: Do I not carry it in me as I would my own? Have I not taught it
right from wrong as any mother would? You have closed your mind TEAL'C. I
expected more!

HAMMOND and JACK exchange glances at this outburst.

TEAL'C: May we speak privately?

SHO'NAC: My symbiote has assured me that this will not happen again.

JACK: (sarcastically) Oh well if the snake says so then who are we!

The HUMANS leave.

SHO'NAC (Pained): The others I can understand, but you have known me since
before I went to the temple! How can you doubt me? This is my life's work!

TEAL'C: A life lived in worship of the Goa'uld!

SHO'NAC: No, I believe now as you do that they are false gods.

TEAL'C: Words from one who became a priestess in the temple.

SHO'NAC (emotionally): One day as I meditated in the temple with the others
I heard the thoughts of my symbiote! Dreams that were not my own! I reached
out to them with my mind and I heard it answer. Not in words but in
grotesque images and pain. I realized then that the being that I carried was
no god! A powerful mind yes, but not that of a god. I dedicated my life that
day to showing it the way of peace. It understands now that the Goa'uld are
an abomination. Can you not see what it is that I offer?

TEAL'C: BRA'TAC is wise, but I do not know why he would have sent you here
like this!

SHO'NAC: He believes TEAL'C. How can I make you believe too?

TEAL'C: There is a way.

DANIEL'S OFFICE.

DANIEL and SAM are reviewing information on the Goa'uld as JACK knocks and
walks in.

CARTER: How is she?

JACK: Err.FRASIER says she has maybe a couple of days tops. Find anything?

DANIEL: No but TEAL'C knows more on the subject than I ever will.

CARTER: He sure doesn't believe her.

O'NEILL (leaning down on the desk) Well there may be a little more than
meets the eye here. I'm thinkin' they got history!

CARTER: History?

O'NEILL: Oh yeah!

DANIEL: She's a temple priestess.

O'NEILL: So?

DANIEL: So they don't do a lot of dating.

O'NEILL: Maybe not, but there was some serious sparkage when she arrived!

CARTER: Ok, the question is what if she's telling the truth?

O'NEILL: So what, she can't tell the Tok'ra anymore than they already know
can she?

CARTER: Actually sir she can, the Tok'ra.

O'NEILL (interrupting): .Consider themselves different than the Goa'uld, I
know. But let's call a snake a snake shall we?

CARTER: Physiologically they're both parasitical and pass on their knowledge
through genetic memory yes, but the majority of the Tok'ra left the Goa'uld
gene pool over two thousand years ago.

DANIEL: Yeah, they probably learnt a thing or two in that time.

SAM: Which makes SHO'NAC'S symbiote very valuable sir. To us and the Tok'ra.

JACK: If TEAL'C doesn't buy it then I don't buy is and there's no way of
proving it, so what are you going to do?

TEAL'C enters the room.

TEAL'C: O'NEILL?

JACK: (Turning around) Master TEAL'C.

TEAL'C: I am in need of your assistance.

O'NEILL: I'm here to serve!

TEAL'C : DANIELJACKSON, MajorCARTER I am in need of your assistance also.

They look puzzled and follow him from the office.

TEAL'C'S QUARTERS IN THE SGC

The room is full of lit candles. TEAL' C is sat ready to meditate and the
rest of SG1 watch over him.

TEAL'C: In the deepest levels of Kelnoor-reem the heart beats in extremely
long intervals. It is even possible to meditate so deeply that one may stop
the heart altogether. The practice is forbidden.

SAM: Wouldn't your symbiote try to start it up again?

TEAL'C: That is correct. According to SHO'NAC it is only at this time that a
communion between Jaffa and symbiote is possible.

CARTER: Like a near death experience?

TEAL'C: That is correct.

O'NEILL: Is it dangerous?

DANIEL: JACK, he's stopping his heart.

JACK: (Annoyed look at DANNY) I mean for us!

TEAL'C: I am unsure of what will occur if and when communion with my
symbiote is achieved. It may be necessary to restrain me.

O'NEILL: Well.knock yourself out!

TEAL'C meditates as SG1 watch anxiously.

Suddenly he sees a vision of a Jaffa being dragged by other Jaffa and a
woman.

TEAL'C (opening his eyes): I believe I saw a vision of my father!

DANIEL: It's working?

TEAL'C: I will begin again.

He meditates and sees his father and the woman. CRONOS appears and TEAL'C's
father is brought before him. He crushes TEAL'C'S father's symbiote by
thrusting his hands into his pouch and kills his father. As his father dies
in the vision TEAL'C collapses in his quarters.

SAM rushes to the phone in the room as DANIEL and JACK move to help him.

SAM: Medical emergency, TEAL'C'S quarters!

TEAL'C (opens his eyes. ):That will not be necessary MajorCARTER.

CARTER (on telephone) Delay that last order and stand by.

JACK (To DANIEL): Get him up. (They help TEAL'C to sit up. ) What happened?

TEAL'C: I have received a vision from my symbiote. It was a memory it chose
to share. Its hatred for me is great.

CARTER: Then it is possible. SHO'NAC is telling the truth.

TEAL'C: Yes.yes!

BRIEFING ROOM

We see ANISE waiting to meet with SG1 and HAMMOND. She walks to the briefing
table and sits down.

ANISE: The great queen Ageria. She broke from the Goa'uld over 2000 years
ago. Her offspring became the Tok'ra.

DANIEL Ageria, Roman goddess of fountains.

O'NEILL: Fountains?

DANIEL: Also childbirth.

O'NEILL: How do those two go together?

DANIEL: It doesn't matter, she was also adviser to Numo Pontillius, a
legendary ruler.

ANISE: Correct Dr JACKSON. Ageria came to the Tau'ri to stop the Goa'uld
from taking humans through the Stargate as slaves. Ra found her and killed
her but not before she had spawned our movement.

CARTER: Literally?

ANISE: Yes.

O'NEILL: Thanks for the image.

HAMMOND: Then the original number of Tok'ra is all you have?

ANISE: Very few Goa'uld came over to our side, but none in the past few
hundred years. Our numbers have diminished as symbiotes unable to find new
hosts died or fell in battle. That is why SHO'NAC'S offer is so provocative.
Until the symbiote is blended with a host we cannot be sure of the outcome.
But if what she claims is correct we could one day increase our numbers.

HAMMOND: So you've decided to accept her offer?

ANISE: I will make the proposal to the council with my recommendation.

O'NEILL: How long will that take?

ANISE: It will not be an easy decision. There are great risks involved.

CARTER: She doesn't have a lot of time.

TEAL'C: SHO'NAC'S symbiote is fully mature. It must take a host within the
day, two at most.

ANISE: Then I will leave immediately. (She gets up, as do the others to
leave. )

TEAL'C (To ANISE) I would make a personal request.

FREYA (Host mode) What is it TEAL'C?

TEAL'C: SHO'NAC came to this world expecting not to survive.

FREYA: She needs a symbiote to replace that which she now carries.

TEAL'C: By the time you return it may be too late.

FREYA: There are no Jaffa within the Tok'ra ranks.

TEAL'C (emotionally): I do not wish for her to die.

FREYA: I cannot promise TEAL'C but we will try.

TEAL'C bows and ANISE leaves.


SHO'NAK'S QUARTERS

TEAL'C enters the room. There are many candles lit and SHO'NAC is sat
meditating on the floor.

TEAL'C (smiling): The Tok'ra council is considering your offer.

SHO'NAC: My symbiote is eager to meet them. I hope they can reach their
decision within the time.

She clutches her stomach in pain. TEAL'C reaches down and helps her to her
feet.

TEAL'C: Your pain grows worse!

SHO'NAC: Yes.

TEAL'C: For what reason did you wait so long?

SHO'NAC: I was afraid you would not believe. Since word came to the temple
that you betrayed APOPHIS I have thought of you every day.

TEAL'C: As a Shol'va?

SHO'NAC: No TEAL'C. Because of you my doubts became certainties. When we
were children you were always the strongest, the bravest. That you would one
day be first prime was never doubted. But you did what no Jaffa before you
had ever done. You challenged the gods themselves and won. (she strokes his
face) Among many on Chulak you are as revered as the gods once were and yet
you walk away.

TEAL'C: My place is here.

SHO'NAC: Is it? BRA'TAC cannot be expected to bear the burden alone. It was
you who first began walking this path. Do not abandon those who have
followed you this far!

She turns away from him. He grabs her and spins her around.

TEAL'C (angrily): I have abandoned no one.

He releases her and she walks away again then turns to him.

SHO'NAC: When I die and you are the only one capable of teaching others what
I have learned, what will you do then?

TEAL'C: Do not concern yourself with me.

SHO'NAC: I have all but given my life for a cause that you inspired!

TEAL'C: Tell skak, Kree! (She looks at him shocked) I will advise you when
there is news. (He turns to leave the room. )

SHO'NAC: When you touched the mind of your symbiote. What did it show you?

TEAL'C (Stopping): The murder of my father. It was a most painful death.

SHO'NAC: At the hands of CRONOS?

TEAL'C: Yes.

SHO'NAC: It wanted you to know fear.

TEAL'C: Yes.

SHO'NAC: You are stronger than that. Why does it appear to have succeeded?
(She walks up to him. He is facing away from her. ) My first communion was
the same. It took many days before I tried again. But one day the images it
chose to share with me began to change. They became sorrowful, as though my
Ko-mah were awakening to it's own shape. In time the images became
beautiful, even caring. If that is all.

TEAL'C (turning to face her): There is more. (emotionally) I hate losing you
a second time!

SHO'NAC: No, never more. (They kiss, and make up AQ!-Style!<g>)

TEAL'C is exiting SHO'NAC'S room as DANIEL is walking down the corridor.

DANIEL: TEAL'C!

TEAL'C (smiling): Kell shah DANIELJACKSON! (SOMEBODY gots himself a piece of
@$$!!! Temple priestess my eye! <g>)

DANIEL: Morning, how's err SHO'NAC?

TEAL'C: The pain of carrying a symbiote past it's time is extreme. SHO'NAC
bears it well.

DANIEL: I can imagine. Listen, I'm just heading off for breakfast.

TEAL'C: I am not.

TEAL'C moves to go in a different direction to DANIEL.

DANIEL: Err.could you stop walking? (TEAL'C stops and turns to face
DANIEL. )

DANIEL (quietly) Is everything all right?

TEAL'C: Yes. (AQ!'sa note: Of course he's allright! He just got a piece of
... <g>)

DANIEL: You see, I've just noticed that you've been, you know preoccupied
lately, obviously and err I'm kinda going out on a limb here asking but it's
just that if you want to talk that I was here to talk.

TEAL'C: DANIELJACKSON! (HE grabs DANIEL by the shoulder and DANIEL looks at
him surprised. ) If all Jaffa can be taught to commune with their symbiotes
then the days of the Goa'uld are truly numbered!

DANIEL: And SHO'NAC can teach them?

TEAL'C: If SHO'NAC survives I intend to be at her side. If she does not I
will not allow her sacrifice to be in vain!

Before DANIEL can reply CARTER comes running up to them.

CARTER: TEAL'C, we just got word from the Tok'ra. They've accepted SHO'NAC'S
offer.

TEAL'C: When may we depart?

CARTER: Now, Colonel O'NEILL'S waiting for us in the gear up room.

They walk away. DANIEL looks worried as he follows.


VORASH.

SG1 and SHO'NAC are met by some Tok'ra representatives.

TOK'RA TUNNELS

SG1 and SHO'NAC enter via the ring system. ANISE and two other Tok'ra are
waiting.

ANISE: (Snake mode) SHO'NAC of the Red Hills, welcome to Vorash.

SHO'NAC: It is a great honor to meet the Tok'ra.

O'NEILL: They're all right if you like the type. (Looks at Anise, and
smiles)

ANISE: It is an equal pleasure to see you Colonel O'NEILL. (She walks over
to SG1 and shakes SAM'S hand.) Your father asked that I shake your hand and
give Colonel O'NEILL a big kiss from him.

CARTER(After sharing a look with O'NEILL) Err, that might have been the
other way around.

O'NEILL: Maybe, is FREYA in there?

ANISE blinks and the host takes control.

FREYA (Host mode) Of course Colonel.

SHO'NAC: Then it is true; host and symbiote share the body equally.

FREYA: And we are both pleased to tell you good news. As you requested TEAL'
C, one of our operatives has retrieved a newly spawned symbiote to replace
that which SHO'NAC offers.

SHO'NAC (to TEAL'C) : You have done this for me?

FREYA: Not only for you. If you truly have turned your symbiote to the Tok'
ra cause then your life is more valuable than any of ours!

SHO'NAC: ( closes her eyes and whispers to her symbiote). Kell-mah, it will
not be long now.

TEAL'C: She has carried her symbiote far past its time.

FREYA: Then come, this way. (Everyone follows her) We were able to find a
host both willing and eager.

O'NEILL (quietly) Eager too huh?

They all enter a chamber where several people are waiting. ANISE indicates
to a man.

ANISE: (Still in snake mode)This is the volunteer host HEBRON of Parabal.

O'NEILL (to HEBRON): JACK O'NEILL, Earth. Err.forgive my bluntness here but
do you have any idea what you are getting into?

ANISE: We have told him everything.

O'NEILL: Yeah, well I've noticed the Tok'ra have a tendency to leave out
minor details along the way sometimes. (To HEBRON) You do know this thing's
going to be in your head right? You only get your body part time?

HEBRON: My own people were enslaved by the Goa'uld a generation ago, I
understand what benefit may come of this.

O'NEILL (unconvinced): All right.

TEAL'C: This is SHO'NAC.


SHO'NAC and HEBRON look at each other.

HEBRON: What can you tell me of the one with whom I will spend the rest of
my days?

SHO'NAC: That he wishes to forswear his birthright and desires to stop the
Goa'uld from causing any more harm.

HEBRON: Then we will have that in common.

SHO'NAC: You will share with him much, much more than I. (She cries out in
pain and collapses to the floor supported by TEAL'C. ) I have waited too
long!

TEAL'C: It must be done now!

ANISE: We are not yet ready for the transference.

SHO'NAC: It can wait no longer! (Sounds of the symbiote emerging are heard.
CARTER, O'NEILL and DANIEL grimace at the sight. ) TEAL'C it cannot wait!

HEBRON( tears open his shirt.): I am ready.(he falls to his knees) Take me!

The symbiote emerges and O'NEILL draws his gun. The symbiote lunges for
HEBRON'S neck and enters it. HEBRON grasps at his neck and gasps. He falls
backwards. SHO'NAC passes out as ANISE goes to HEBRON. SG1 stand back with a
look of disgust at the process. HEBRON'S eyes open and glow.

ANISE: Colonel O'NEILL, lower your weapon the transference is complete.

O'NEILL: Transference?!?!?!? THAT'S what you call that!?!?

TEAL'C (to SHO'NAC): SHO'NAC?

ANISE helps HEBRON to stand. HE has a wound on his neck where the symbiote
entered.

HEBRON: (In Snake mode) There was no more time, SHO'NAC'S life was in grave
danger. I had to act. (to ANISE) Have you a prim'ta ready for implantation?

ANISE: Yes.

HEBRON: (Still in snake mode) Do it now, she is near death. (ANISE nods at a
guard who leaves. ) I am TANITH, it is my honor to pledge my allegiance to
the Tok'ra.

TEAL'C looks down at an unconscious SHO'NAC

TOK'RA UNDERGROUND MEETING ROOM

We see CARTER and O'NEILL sat around a table waiting for news. DANIEL is
stood leaning against CARTER'S chair. Footsteps are heard approaching and
they all look up.

DANIEL: How is she?

ANISE (Snake mode) SHO'NAC is still very weak. The symbiote we were able to
retrieve was quite young.

CARTER: But she's gonna be ok?

ANISE: We believe so.

TANITH enters behind ANISE. O'NEILL eyes him suspiciously.

O'NEILL: Hello HEBRON.

TANITH (Snake mode) He is here Colonel O'NEILL.

DANIEL: Actually we'd like to hear that from him.

TANITH Of course. (He lowers his head) (Host mode) It is true, it is a
strange feeling but I am very much here.

O'NEILL: How do we know that?

HEBRON: TANITH wants you to know that we will submit to any test you may
wish to perform to assure you that I am speaking freely as host. Rest
assured TANITH is pure of heart. SHO'NAC was indeed a great teacher.

O'NEILL Good, then maybe TANITH wouldn't mind sharing some of that fine Goa'
uld knowledge. (Is that sarcasm I hear in Jack's voice?!<g>) (Hebron bows
his head)

TANITH (smiling): (Snake Mode) Of course.

ANISE: (Snake Mode) When the time is appropriate.

O'NEILL: I think now is appropriate.

ANISE: I disagree.

O'NEILL: Oh, here we go, here we go!

ANISE: TANITH has asked to join the Tok'ra not the SGC.

O'NEILL (angrily) : (Sounding alot like MacGyver<g>) Are you kidding me!

ANISE: We will gladly share what knowledge we feel is useful to the
furthering of our alliance with Earth.

CARTER: Does my father go along with this?

ANISE: I am sure he will.

O'NEILL: How do I hang up with ANISE and talk to FREYA?

ANISE: Why?

O'NEILL: I *like* FREYA!

ANISE: She and are in complete agreement.

O'NEILL: How do I know that?

ANISE: I have told you.

O'NEILL: And I'm supposed to trust you.You know this whole talking to two
people in one body thing really sucks! (He's genuinly FED UP with the
Tok'Ra!<g>)

TEAL'C and SHO'NAC enter the chamber. TANITH looks at SHO'NAC.

TANITH: SHO'NAC! (She looks at him and smiles. )It is good to finally see
the face of she that taught me so much!

SHO'NAC: Oh, to speak with you in words it is something I never dreamed of.
(JACK looks at SAM, shaking his head, and rolling his eyes; she does the
same to DANIEL.

TANITH: There will be time for words. You must stay a while we have so much
to talk about.

SHO'NAC: I know.

TANITH (looks at TEAL'C. ):TEAL'C, I sense that she is still extremely weak.

TEAL'C: Her new symbiote is extremely young for the task of healing her.

TANITH (looks at SG1.) : I hope that your indecision did not put her at more
risk than necessary.

TANITH smiles at SHO'NAC and then leaves the room.

O'NEILL puts his hat on.

O'NEILL (annoyed) I guess we'll just mosey on back to Earth. Tell General
HAMMOND how the Tok'ra boned us again.

He leaves followed by CARTER and DANIEL.

ANISE: Colonel! (She follows after him. As do TEAL'C and SHO'NAC. O'NEILL is
leading SG1 out of the tunnels being followed by ANISE. ) Please take no
offense.

O'NEILL: Hey, we're getting used to it.

They reach the transportation rings site. O'NEILL, CARTER and DANIEL stand
ready to be transported.

O'NEILL: TEAL'C, you can come back and visit SHO'NAC after we've debriefed.
(to ANISE sarcastically) That is if it's all right with our good friends and
allies.

ANISE: He is welcome of course.

O'NEILL: Swell.(to SG1) let's go.

TEAL'C : (looks at SHO'NAC ) O'NEILL, I would like a moment.

O'NEILL: We'll wait at the gate.

CARTER, DANIEL and O'NEILL leave via the transportation rings.

TEAL'C: I must inform the Tau'ri of my intention to leave their service.

SHO'NAC: I will await your return.

TEAL'C: We will return to Chulak and tell every Jaffa in every village of
your return.

SHO'NAC: Together!

TEAL'C: Kell mate SHO'NAC.

SHO'NAC: Kell mate my love!

TEAL'C leaves via the transportation rings.


TANITH'S QUARTERS IN TOK'RA BASE.

We see TANITH looking at himself in a mirror. He turns around as SHO'NAC
enters the room.

SHO'NAC:Have I disturbed you?

TANITH: (EVIL snake mode! MWAHAHAHA!) The hour is late you should be
resting.

SHO'NAC: I could not wait to speak with you.

TANITH: Yes. (He walks over to her) We must speak of your audacity.

SHO'NAC( looks puzzled). :I do not understand.

TANITH: How dare a priestess touch the mind of one who would be her god!

SHO'NAC: You despise the Goa'uld!

TANITH (evilly) I am the Goa'uld! (AQ!'s NOTE: I LOVE this guy!!! Can I
change my name from Apophis's Queen to Tanith's Queen?! <g> He's so HOT when
he's being bad!)

SHO'NAC (shocked) But I showed you the.

TANITH : (clamps his hand over her mouth and grabs her. ) You showed me the
means to destroy the Tok'ra. (She struggles in his arms. ) Now accept your
reward. (AQ! Again: He's so sexy, oh, My!<g>)(TANITH'S eyes glow and he
smiles. )


INT- SGC BRIEFING ROOM

CARTER, DANIEL and HAMMOND are sat round the table. O'NEILL is standing near
to his seat. TEAL'C is standing at the end of the table.

TEAL'C: It is with much sadness that I must take my leave of the SGC.

SG1 and HAMMOND look shocked.

HAMMOND: Are you certain?

O'NEILL: He means leave of absence sir!

TEAL'C: I have said what I mean O'NEILL. I intend to live the remainder of
my life on Chulak.

O'NEILL: What on Earth for?

TEAL'C: Do you not recognize the greatness of SHO'NAC'S achievement?

DANIEL: I think the point is that if the whole idea was to get the secrets
of the Goa'uld into the hands of the Tok'ra.

O'NEILL: And us by the way.

DANIEL: .Then it's done, mission accomplished!

CARTER: Yeah TEAL'C, even if you could train a large enough number of Jaffa
to communicate with their symbiotes the Tok'ra have a hard enough time
finding hosts.

O'NEILL: But the point is you belong here!

TEAL'C: I belong where I am needed most O'NEILL and that is on Chulak at SHO
'NAC'S side.

The sounds of the gate activating are heard and sirens sound.

DAVIS: Off world activation! (They all leave the briefing room. We see armed
guards stand ready by the gate. The iris is closed. )(SG1 and HAMMOND
enter. ) Incoming traveler sir, it's the Tok'ra.

O'NEILL: Here to share squat with us no doubt.

HAMMOND: Open the iris.

The iris opens and ANISE steps through. She looks at TEAL'C sadly and then
two further Tok'ra step through the gate carrying a stretcher with a body on
it. TEAL'C runs to the gateroom followed by the rest of SG1.

FREYA: (Host mode) TEAL'C it is with great sorrow that I return.

TEAL'C : (looks at the stretcher. ) SHO'NAC!

FREYA: We found the body just outside her chamber. (DANIEL, O'NEILL and
CARTER look shocked. ) The symbiote she carried was also dead. If we had
found a more mature larvae.

TEAL'C: She appeared well!

FREYA: SHO'NAC'S death is simply the unfortunate result of waiting too long.

TEAL'C:( pulls the sheet down from over SHO'NAC'S face). (emotionally) SHO'
NAC, tell mah veriunte shree. Tell mah.

DANIEL (translating): Our love does not end in death.

TEAL'C leans and kisses SHO'NAC.

ANISE (to O'NEILL): I wanted TEAL'C to have the body for whatever spiritual
ritual he may wish to perform.

TEAL'C looks close to tears.


TEAL'C'S QUARTERS

We see TEAL'C meditating surrounded by lit candles. He sees another vision
from his symbiote of his father's murder by CRONOS. As CRONOS crushes his
fathers symbiote TEAL'C screams in pain. O'NEILL is walking down the
corridor by TEAL'C'S quarters. He hears the scream and rushes to knock on
TEAL'C'S door .

O'NEILL: TEAL'C? (Inside his room TEAL'C suddenly opens his eyes. )
(knocking on the door) TEAL'C! (TEAL'C opens his door )What's up?

TEAL'C: SHO'NAC was murdered!


INT- TOKRA MEETING ROOM

We see O'NEILL and TEAL'C enter accompanied by some Tok'ra guards. ANISE and
two other Tok'ra are sat round the table. They stand.

ANISE (Snake mode): We have not yet obtained information of any value from
TANITH. Your return is premature.

O'NEILL: You folks should invest in some doors.

ANISE: We have no secrets from each other.

O'NEILL: I beg to differ with you!

TEAL'C: I have reason to believe the Goa'uld SHO'NAC carried was not truly
convinced to become a Tok'ra. I believe the Goa'uld used this opportunity to
become a spy among you.

ANISE: What evidence have you for this?

TEAL'C: The murder of SHO'NAC! The system lord CRONOS murdered my father by
crushing his symbiote in such a way it allowed the symbiotes blood to mix
directly with that of my father. The method is slow and immensely painful.

ANISE: How do you know this?

TEAL'C: In communion with my own symbiote. It is a vision my symbiote chose
to share.

ANISE: Why?

TEAL'C: To demonstrate Goa'uld hatred and superiority.

ANISE: Still, if that is your proof.

TEAL'C: We found Goa'uld blood in SHO'NAC'S bloodstream and trace amounts on
her hands. Confirming my vision!

ANISE: And so you have come to extract revenge?

TEAL'C (angrily): I have!

ANISE: I'm sorry, we cannot allow you. (They look at each other. TEAL'C is
furious. Suddenly he lunges at the Tok'ra next to him, knocks hi over and
runs from the room to seek out TANITH. ) Stop him!


TOK'RA CORRIDOR

We see TEAL'C knocking down Tok'ra guards as he runs down the corridor
frantically. He is finally stopped by five Tok'ra and yells at them in Goa'
uld. O'NEILL runs after him with his gun ready. He kneels down by a
distraught TEAL'C.

O'NEILL: TEAL'C, we'll get the Goa'uld out of the host.

ANISE approaches.

ANISE: No! He will be infinitely more valuable to us if we do not.

TEAL'C and O'NEILL look at her suspiciously.

O'NEILL: You knew!

FREYA (Host mode) We suspected, but only after her death. TEAL'C we truly
had hoped SHO'NAC had succeeded but if we allow TANITH to believe he has
deceived us we will be able to use that against the Goa'uld.

TEAL'C (still being restrained) Disinformation.

FREYA: Yes, if we control what he sees and hears the Goa'uld will never know
our true intentions. We will be able to use that advantage for months. When
TANITH no longer serves a useful purpose we will extract what Goa'uld
secrets we can in other ways.

O'NEILL (walks up to her. ): What about the host?

ANISE: (The trmpy, bitchy snake is back!) He knew well the risks. When we
have learned all we can we plan to remove the Goa'uld. We are fighting a war
for our very existence. I make no apologies for the means. (TEAL'C and O'
NEILL stare at her. ) (to Tok'ra guards) Release him.

The guards let TEAL'C go and he stands clearly very angry.

TANITHS CHAMBERS

We see TEAL'C enter with O'NEILL and ANISE following. TANITH is in the room.
TEAL'C walks up to him with a grim look on his face. He stares at TANITH.

TANITH (slowly): (Snake mode) Hello TEAL'C. You must feel the pain of SHO'
NAC'S death as deeply as I do. It is a terrible loss to both of us and has
been difficult.Why have you come to see me?

TEAL'C: To look upon you and know that SHO'NAC'S sacrifice will not be in
vain.

TANITH: You have my promise. I hope one day we will meet again TEAL'C and
together remember she who meant so much to both of us.

TEAL'C: We will meet again. (He bows his head) You have my promise.

Episode 68 - "Upgrades"

We begin with a shot of the gate activating. The gate is irised. Sam, Teal'C
and GH are standing @ the foot of the gate. Danny and Jack walk in.

GH: Doctor Jackson, Colonel -

JACK: General.

DANNY: The message I got was pretty vague.

GH: So was the transmission we got from the Tok'Ra.

DANNY: Did they say who was coming?

GH: No.

JACK: Did they say WHY?

SAM: No, Sir.

JACK: See, I - That's rude! I hate that.

TECH: Receiving Tok'Ra IDC. Opening Iris. (Shoulda left it closed! OK! I'll
try to be nice! <g> Can't make any promises.)

JACK: In fact, the Tok'Ra are starting to annoy me in general.

SAM: Sir?

JACK: Don't get me wrong, Carter. Your dad's great, I love em like a
brother, Every time they show it seems like it's all kinds of ---

TS walks thru the gate. (Anise/Freyu) She will affectionally (g) known as TS
from now on. (Tok'Ra Spice!) Granted, she's very beautiful when she walks
thru the gate. She also has herself covered in a very nice long coat. Her
hair looks nice right now.

DANNY: (In a trance)Yep! That looks like trouble to me.

TS walks down the ramp, Sam tries to smile @ her (LOL!). She's not very
successful!

TS: (In Goa'Uld voice) The Tok'Ra High Council sends it's greetings.

GH: Welcome! I'm General Hammond, Colonel O'Neill, Doctor Jackson, Major
Carter, and Teal'C.

TS: (Motioning to a very handsome Tok'Ra) This is Mornon. You may call me
Anise.

DANNY: Anise?

TS: It means Noble Strength.

DANNY: I'm Daniel. It means uh - God is my Judge. (Jack looks @ Danny, cocks
his head, and raises his eyebrow)

JACK: (Smart-assed <g>) I'm Jack. It means --- uh --- What's in the box?

TS opens the box to reveal the armbands.

TS: These armbands were recently discovered amongst some ancient ruins on a
remote planet.

DANNY: I don't recognize the symbols. May I?

TS: The language belongs to a race called the Ataniks . Their existence and
demise predates the Goa'Uld.

SAM: Ataniks? I think Jolinar knew about these. They are supposed to give
the wearer incredible speed and strength, right?

TS: Yes, many thought it was just a myth. Still, the Goa'Uld & Tok'Ra have
both sought these devices for some time.

DANNY: Obviously not a myth.

TS: The Tok'Ra were very excited when I found them.

DANNY: YOU found them?

TS: My area of expertise is ancient cultures.

DANNY: Well, mine too.

TS: Yes, I know. (Jack is staring at Danny) We hoped the devices would
provide our operatives with a great new physical advantage against the
Goa'Uld.

JACK: However?

TS puts the armband on, nothing happens!

DANNY: They don't work for you.

TS: Our top scientific minds have researched the technology at length. To
the best of our knowledge, the devices should work. However, something
causes them to reject the Tok'Ra physiology.

TEAL'C: You're a symbiote.

TS: That is a likely assumption.

TEAL'C: Then the device will most likely be ineffective on me as well.

TS: Yes - That is why I brought only three.

SAM: I still have a protein marker left by Jolinar.

TS: Hopefully, that will have no effect.

DANNY: Incredible speed and strength?

TS: In fact, according to the inscriptions, they should greatly increase all
of your natural abilities.

JACK: (Raises eyebrow & looks @ Sam, who looks back) That's kinda cool.

TS: In the interest of the Tok'Ra/Human alliance, I expected you would
cooperate.

GH: Shouldn't we take some time to learn a little more about these things?
Perhaps Maj. Carter & Dr. Jackson -

TS: (Rudely interrupting) I had hoped to begin Human trial experiments
immediately.

JACK: What's the rush?

TS: (She sounds pissed) If you are not willing to trust us and participate,
I will find human subjects on another planet!

GH Does NOT like her tone of voice!

JACK: (Raises his eye brow and smiles) Fine.

TS closes her eyes.

TS: (In normal sweet human voice) Colonel, please forgive the scientist in
Anise. She has worked very hard for this. I assure you, every safety
precaution will be taken.

Danny look adorably confused. Sam looks @ Jack. Jack just gives TS a dirty
look. TS closes her eyes. Uh-Oh! Tok'Ra Spice --- Uh --- I mean Anise is
back! <g>

TS: (Goa'Uld voice) What is your answer?!

OPENING CREDITS!

TS: This is a Tok'Ra biosensor. It will monitor every aspect of your
physiological condition. (She pulls Jack's T-Shirt down, and puts the sensor
very far down his shirt. I think she's just coppin a feel. I know I would!
<g>)

JACK: Whoa! (He doesn't like this)

TS: It will transmit readings to this device where it will be recorded
through out the experiment.

JACK: OK?

Jack picks up the device, and he and Janet look @ it, then each other. TS
returns. He puts it down with an innocent look like a student caught looking
in the teacher's desk for the test answers.

TS: Ready?

JACK: As I'll --- ever be. (She puts the band on his arm. A light comes on)
What's that mean?

TS: The device is working.

JACK: I don't feel like leaping any tall buildings.

TS: It may take time for the device to adjust to your body. I believe it was
designed this way to give your body time to adapt to your new ability. In
the meantime, feel free to move around as you normally would. The biosensor
will transmit readings over a significant distance.

JACK: OK.

Jack and Teal'C are boxing. (Yummy! Teal'C in a muscle shirt!) (This makes
me wonder if Danny's been boxing with Teal'C to get that body he has!)

TEAL'C: Do you still feel no affects from the armbands, O'Neill?

JACK: No, You know something? I'm starting to think this things a crock!
(They are sparing, hitting each other's gloves) Come on, Teal'C! Bring it!
You're going easy.

TEAL'C: (Out of breath) I am attempting to make physical contact with you,
O'Neill. You are boxing with great proficiency today! (You can see fatigue
setting in)

JACK: (Not even breathing hard) I feel a little stiff.

Yummy shot of Teal'C trying to give Jack a few right hooks, Jack is ducking
@ great speed. All you see is his red helmet. You hear a whooshing sound.
Teal'C stops with a stunned look on his face. Jack stops, and look at
Teal'C. He punches Teal'C at lightning speed. Teal'C grunts, and falls down.
TKO! TKO! TKO! (Technical Knock Out!) Teal'C is passed out on the floor! <g>
Don't see that every day!

JACK: (Confused) Teal'C?

Later in infirmary.

JANET: (To Teal'C) So, you're feeling any better?

TEAL'C: I will be fine, DR. Frasier.

JACK: (Eating something) Teal'c, I'm really sorry.

TEAL'C: (Stoic look @ Jack) You are not!

JACK: He's right about that.

TS: (To Jack handing him a ball) Please squeeze this.

JACK: What is it?

TS: It will measure your strength. (He squeezes it) Your strength is 5 times
that of a normal human.

JACK: So, no increase then, huh? (Janet looks @ him and grins, rolling her
eyes)

TS: Physiology remains otherwise normal.

JACK: I-uh-I feel good. (Throws paper in cup across the room.) Three!

JANET: And - uh - you seemed to have developed a bit of a sweet tooth. (Jack
takes a bite of the cookie.)

TS: Your metabolism is increasing to match the energy your body now
requires.

JANET: You were - uh - gonna show me how to read this.

TS: I will. First, it is time to increase the number of subjects in the
experiment.

Next shot goes to Danny with his shirt up <g>, and Janet putting the
biosensor on his chest. She sure is lingering there. TS is putting the
armband on Sam. Jack is sitting behind Sam, chowing down on the cookies, and
looking at Sam. It's something crunchy he's eating, because you can hear a
crunch when he takes a bite.

SAM: I don't really feel any different.

JACK: Just wait.

Danny's looking @ a book thru a magnifying glass. Jack walks in.

JACK: (Still eating!!!! <g>) Hey!

DANNY: Heeyy.

JACK: Notice anything yet?

DANNY: You're eating a lot. (Said sarcastically)

JACK: Hmn. (Picks up very BIG book) Give it time. (Starts turning pages
slowly, then increasing faster. His head and eyes are moving. Danny's
freaking out. He closes the book)

DANNY: Did you just read that?

JACK: I guess --- Don't suppose there's another book around that explains
this book?

DANNY: What, what, what, what reason did Hobbs give for the fall of the
civilization?

JACK: Failing agricultural infulstructure.

DANNY: Jack, That's unbelievable.

JACK :Hey, it's HIS theory.

Jack's opening another packet of cookies. Danny's trying to speed read to no
avail!

JACK: Want me to read to you? (Jack offers Danny his cookie)

Janet walks into Sam's darkened lab.

JANET: Sam?

SAM: Yeah?

JANET: What are you doing?

SAM: (Looking thru a microscope --- IN THE DARK!!!!) I'm just running a few
tests on the material the armbands are made of.

JANET: Ah--- It's a --- little dark, don't ya think?

SAM: Is it? (Janet turns on the lights. Sam looks up.) OW! That's bright.

JANET: Yeah, the lights were out. (Turns light on desk on)

SAM: Man, I didn't even realize.

A light is shining in Sam's eyes.

JANET: Well, it looks normal to me.

SAM: I can see in the dark as well as if the light was on.

JANET: (Checking her ear temp.) You're running a slight temperature.

SAM: Anise is monitoring our vitals.

JANET: Yes, I know.

SAM: You don't trust her biosensors?

JANET: No, I trust her technology is very advanced and accurate.

SAM: So, you don't trust her?

JANET: I'd like to run a full blood screen.

Jack is running on the treadmill. He is going VERY fast! Anise is at a
monitor. It has 103 Miles per hour on it. You see the number decrease as he
stops.

TS: Very good.

JACK: I'm not even sweating. In fact, I think that thing is slowing me down.

TS: Squeeze this. (She hands him the strength ball.) (He squeezes it, and
crushes it!) (She kinda freaks out.)

JACK: Sorry.

DANNY: (Looking mighty yummy in the black t-shirt and no glasses!) I mean
it's the most unbelievable , incredible thing I've ever experienced. I mean,
I've cross referenced the symbols on the armbands against every written
language on earth in an hour!

TS: What did you find?

DANNY: Uh --- nothing. But, the point is, I can read really fast.

TS: Here are my notes on the Atinicks. I thought you might be interested.

DANNY: You write in a notebook?

TS: My host, Freya, enjoys the tactile sensation of handwriting.

Danny speed reads in the way Jack did earlier. TS just watches him with a
cocked head.

DANNY: The inscription says " with great power comes great responsibility."

TS: " And the ability to effect great consequence."

DANNY: You haven't speculated in here why the atinicks became extinct.

TS: No, my primary concern up until now was finding the armbands., and then
determining how they worked.

The light on the armband turned from blue to green while beeping.

DANNY: What does that mean?

TS: I believe all the armbands have reached their maximum potential.

JANET: Anise? Can I see you for a moment? They all have significally raised
body temperatures.

TS: They are in no danger.

JANET: I disagree. Their symptoms are indicative of the presence of a virus.

TS: You are Correct. My bio-data indicates the armbands released a virus
into their systems.

GH: Doesn't that concern you?

TS: It must be how the technology accesses the human physiology. It took a
different amount of time for each individual because of each subject's
unique reaction to the virus.

JANET: That's all speculation. Major Carter's blood work showed a dangerous
amount of adrenalin in her system.

TS: (Angrily?) I object to the interference in my experiment!

JANET: I object to being kept in the dark of the condition of people who's
health I am responsible for! (You go, Doc! <g>)

TS: Are you suggesting I would risk their health?

GH: Doctor, we're seeing some really interesting results. Are you saying
that we should discontinue the experiments?

JANET: Until we know more about the physical affects of this virus, yes. I
say we remove the armbands, and we run more tests to make sure that these
changes aren't permanent or damaging.

TS: General ---

GH: No, I'm sorry! There's one thing I've learned in my time here. There's
nothing wrong with a little prudence when dealing with Alien Devices. (Walks
in room where SG-1 minus Teal'C are) Based on DR. Frasier's recommendations,
I have decided to stop the experiment temporarily.

SAM: What?

JACK & DANNY: Why?

GH: We'd like to get a better read on exactly what these things are really
doing to you.

SAM: General ---

JACK: I'd rather not do that, Sir.

JANET: I think the armband may be having a narcotic like effect. Wearing
them may be come addictive. It's just one of the things I'd like to rule
out.

GH: Please. Take the armbands off.

SAM: But ---

GH: Are you refusing to comply with a direct order?

All three struggle to get the armbands off.

JACK: Uh --- Little problem here, Sir. Having a hard time complying.

GH & Janet look @ each other, then @ TS. SG-1 look @ GH with surprised looks
on their faces.

JANET: ( To GH, I'd say sarcastically while looking @ TS) We've tried
everything short of surgically removing their arms.

GH: We'll hold that option in reserve.

TS: You must admit, the positive effect is astonishing.

GH: As long as there's no downside.

TS: (Closes eyes Goa'Uld voice) There is no evidence of any downside.

JANET: Yet.

GH: Find a way to get those armbands off my people.

Teal'C walks in the weight room. Jack is lifting weights.

JACK: Teal'C --- How much I have on here?

TEAL'C: It appears to be approximately 600 pounds, O'Neill. (Jack is lifting
the weights like it's a 20 pound weight on it.)

JACK: (Stops lifting, and looks at the weights) Really?! Not bad!

TEAL'C: Are you not concerned because the armband can not be removed?

JACK: Nope! This thing's great!

TEAL'C: We will not resume our duties as SG-1 as long as this experiment
continues.

JACK: Yeah, well, I'm gonna have a little chat with Hammond about that.
(Goes to a punching bag) I mean, we should be using these things. (Punches
thru the bag)

Someone's typing very fast. The computer needs time to catch up. They eat
something. It's Sam. She's waiting patiently while the computer runs what
she typed. Janet walks in.

JANET: Hey!

SAM: Hey!

JANET: What are you working on?

SAM: I'm writing a book on wormhole physics, but this damn computer isn't
fast enough. When the buffer's full, I have to wait for it to catch up.

JANET: You know, we REALLY could use your help.

SAM: You just don't get it, Janet. I don't WANT to take it off.

JANET: OK. I realize they're making you FEEL really good ---

SAM: (Laughs) Look! I have written a 1000 page book in under 2 hours! I man,
this is something I've been dying to do, but haven't had the time!

JANET: Sam ---

SAM: JANET! ---

GH: Absolutely not!

JACK: Come on, General! Why'd we put these things on in the first place?!

GH: We're still not sure of the long-term effects.

JACK: We shouldn't be sitting around wasting this stuff, we should be out
kicking so Goa'Uld BUTT! I mean , look at this! (He kicks the wall --- OK!
He kicks a HOLE in the wall!) (Both Jack and GH have a stunned look on their
faces.) Sorry about that, Sir!

GH: Colonel, I'm concerned that you're not in control of your new abilities.

JACK: Well, you may be right about that. But It's just so damn exciting,
Sir!

GH: I'm sure it is!

JACK: And, even if we're not in total control, shouldn't we be out there
doing the damage instead of in you office?

GH: I'm concerned for your well being, Colonel.

JACK: and, I appreciate it. And you're the boss, what ever you say goes, but
you need to know that we're HERE for you! READY to go! Just --- just say the
word. (Man! Is he wired, or what?!)

GH: Thank you.

JACK: Seriously. Say it! Say the word.

GH: Dismissed.

JACK : We can be ready in 3 seconds --- 2 ---

GH: Colonel ---

JACK: Hey! We're ready!

GH: (Standing) Just --- Get the HELL out of my office!

JACK: Yes, Sir.

He walks out of GH's office, and meets up with Siler.

JACK: Hey, Siler. (Patting him on the back) (Siler screams, and falls back
onto the stairwell below. Sounds of crashing is heard) <Quietly> Oh, Crap!
(Looks @ GH, shakes his head, and runs down the steps to help the fallen
man)

Siler is laid out on his back upside down on the stairs , groaning in pain
as an airman and 2 doctors help him.

JACK: (Sam is typing) This is ridiculous. It was an accident! (He's playing
with some flags)

DANNY: (Reading a book) Siler has a broken arm and a concussion.

JACK: He'll pull thru. I sent flowers.


DANNY: (Looking OH, So yummy in a black tee shirt & NO glasses!) You have to
admit, it's a little scary. I mean I feel like I could --- do anything!

SAM: All I know is I'm gonna starve to death. I don't know about you guys,
but I am having so SERIOUS protein cravings.

JACK: Steak.

DANNY: I could go for that!

JACK: Big, red, juicy meat.

SAM: O'Malley's in town.

JACK: Let's go!

Scene goes to the hall. You hear a whooshing sound, and see the trio moving
at lightning speed. They pass by 2 airmen, making a wind. Then appear at the
elevator. On the 25th floor BTW!

JACK: Let's eat!

O'Malley's Bar & Grill looks like a pretty fancy place.

JACK: How high do you think that fence was?

DANNY: 20? 25 feet?

SAM: MMN - I'd say about 30.

WAITRESS: What can I get ya?

JACK: Um --- 3 of the biggest steaks you've got with everything, rare, baked
potato.

WAITRESS: (Smiles) You got it! (Starts to leave)

JACK: Uh --- excuse me! THAT was for me. (She smiles)

DANNY: Yeah, I'm gonna have 3 as well.

JACK: 4?

DANNY: 4, 4 is good, yeah!

SAM: Me, too. And French fries with mine. Oh, and a diet soda. (The men give
her raised eyebrows) I like the taste better! So, has it occurred to anyone
that we're defying a direct order?

DANNY: (Jack and Danny look at each other) Well, it's not like we haven't
defied orders before!

SAM: That was to save earth.

JACK: Earth, steaks? There's a difference?

DANNY: We'll be back before anyone knows we're gone.

Sam shoots an 8 ball into the corner pocket. She takes money from the table.

MAN: How the hell did you do that?

SAM: Wanna go double or nothin'?

MAN: I think I'll cut my loses.

DANNY: Smart move. (Gets up to walk away)

MAN: What are YOU laughing at you GEEK!? (Danny stops and looks at Jack.)

JACK: (Raises eyebrows looking from man to Danny) Geek?

DANNY: (Stops, and turns) Excuse me?

JACK: (Quietly) Let it go.

DANNY: (Looks at Jack, then man) No, not this time.

MAN: Yeah? What are you gonna do?

Sam looks at man with a grin on her face. Jack sighs, and looks at two VERY
BIG men standing next to him. They're about the size of Teal'C, and I'm not
exaggerating! Some big men get next to Danny as well.

JACK: Well --- This is a cliché. (Sam just smiles, Danny raises his eyebrows
at her.) (Jack raises his eyebrows at Danny.) O-Kay! (He grabs one of the
big men, and throws him across the room at lightning speed. Shot goes to the
sign outside the restaurant, and sounds of brawling is heard.) (Lot of
crashing dishes, and grunts!)

GH: (Into phone) Right. OK! (Hangs up phone) I thought the devices were
supposed to enhance them physically, not make them stupid!

JANET: You'll have to ask Anise about that, Sir. I can tell you that their
erratic behavior can be explained by their increase in certain hormone
levels. You can almost describe it as sort of an intoxication.

GH: My concern is how do we contain them if they're that strong, and that
fast?

JANET: The concern is greater than that, Sir. Blood tests show early
indication of multiple organ failure. The human body wasn't made to be put
thru this!

GH: Are you saying they'll die if we don't get these things off them.

JANET: I believe the key is the virus. There's no magic pill that'll combat
a virus, but there are a few treatment options.

GH: But that's no guarantee?

JANET: No, Sir.

Superman (Jack), Wonder Woman (Sam) and Mighty Mouse (Danny) walk down the
steps being escorted by a couple of SF's.

GH: Thank you, Doctor. Can you explain to me why several witnesses put you
people at a restaurant in town last night?

JACK & DANNY: Sir, I can ---

DANNY: Explain that. (Sam kept silent! I see she's the smartest one of the
group! <g>) (A few seconds later, after thinking) No, I can't!

SAM: We were very --- hungry --- Sir.

GH: The reports says there was a brawl.

JACK: More of a --- scuffle, Sir.

GH: You're lucky you didn't KILL any of those men!

JACK: Na --- we were very careful about that, General!

GH: What am I supposed to do with you people?

JACK: General, I can't tell you how sorry we are. But --- Carter wanted a
steak ---

SAM: Actually it was YOUR idea ---

JACK: My point is ---

SAM: --- Sir! (Said VERY Sarcastically!)

JACK: --- The fact that we were defying orders didn't occur to us until we
were --- defying.

DANNY: It's like the armbands are having an affect on our ability to make
rational choices.

TS (Walking up) General Hammond, I received a message from the Tok'Ra High
Council.

GH: What?

TS: I reported the progress of the experiment, and have made a suggestion.

GH: Regarding?

TS: The High Council would like to forward the idea of putting SG-1's new
skills into practice.

JACK: YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! --- (Quietly) Sir.

GH: What are they suggesting.

TS: We have just received new information regarding a new class of battle
ship that Apophis (YAY!) is building.

GH: JUST received?

TS: Our internal attempt at sabotage has already failed. How ever based on
our intelligence (GH is beginning to see the light! He nods his head and
grins) A special covert team could ---

GH: You've known all along!

TS: Excuse me?

GH: This was the point wasn't it?

TS: (As the host) General, I assure you ---

GH: I assure YOU! I have been at this a long time, and I know DAMN WELL when
I'm being manipulated!

TS: (Still the host) I realize how this must look. However, in the interest
of the Tok'Ra-Earth alliance ---

GH: Don't give me that load of bunk! I don't think the Tok'Ra have my
people's best interest in mind.

TS: General, if you believe anything, believe this. If Apophasis is allowed
to complete this battle ship, (Shot goes to Jack and Sam listening closely)
it will assure his dominance over the Gaul, Your planet, and the rest of
this galaxy! (The snake is back!) I am sure the High Council will be
disappointed. (Shot goes back to Sam and Jack, the wheels are turning' in
that man's head!) I have downloaded (His eyebrows rise, Sam cocks her head.)
everything we know about the ship's construction into your base computer. I
hope you will review it, and change your mind ---

JACK: General, if I may ---

GH: No, you may not. (Jack smiles) Take them back to the lockup. For what
it's worth, I'm ORDERING you to cooperate. (Jack smiles at GH, then looks at
Sam, smiles, she smiles back.) (The super trio leave, and GH just looks at
TS. I WOULD NOT WANT TO RECEIVE A LOOK LIKE THAT FROM THAT MAN!)

JACK: (To SF's) Dismissed. (Sam goes straight to the computer) Let's have a
look.

GH: So, you think we have a problem here?

TEAL'C: This new vessel has several advancements over the Goa'Uld mother
ships we have previously engaged in battle. We MUST stop it's completion.

GH: I can't send the rest of SG-1 on such a dangerous mission knowing their
judgment is impaired.

TEAL'C: (Closing the laptop) I will go alone, then.

GH: According to Tok'Ra intelligence, the gate on that planet is HEAVILY
guarded. I doubt very much even YOU could make it thru.

TEAL'C: We MUST not allow Apophis to complete this vessel.

GH: Let's say I agree. Prove to me it isn't a suicide mission. (Teal'C
stands, and nods his head)

SAM: The gate will be heavily guarded, but we SHOULD be able to handle it.
Wormhole physics dictate that you exit at the same velocity that you enter.

DANNY: So, they'll never know what hit them.

SAM: Exactly. The facility, however, will be more of a challenge.

JACK: Can't we just zip in, plant C-4, zip out?

SAM: Won't do it, Sir. The power core of the ship is completely sealed in
trinium. That's what we have to take out. Hang on, the POWER core is
directly linked to some sort of liquid cooling system that's based in the
facility. These pipes, here, lead into it.

JACK: So, we zip in, blow the pipes, and zip out?

SAM: The core will over heat and explode. The only problem is, there are
force shields protecting this restricted area.

DANNY: So?---

SAM: So --- (Jack looks at her, she smiles) I see your point. (She looks at
Jack who has a confused look on his face) Goa'uld force shields operate on a
frequency oscillation principle. If we were moving fast enough ---
theoretically, we'd be able to see the oscillation principle, and run right
thru.

JACK: We'll need snacks.

Scene goes to the gate room with the idle gate. A tech is typing something.
Sam whishes behind him, pinching his shoulder, knocking him out, and taking
his computer. Jack and Danny both do the same thing to 2 techs in the back,
while Sam's dialing the gate. Her hands are moving very quickly. She closes
the blast doors right in front of an SF. Closes more doors, and the
observation window in the gate room.

SAM: Let's go.

TEAL'C: O'Neill! (As the event horizon forms)

JACK: Not this time, Teal'C. (The super trio run thru the gate at lightning
speed)

TECH: The gate's open, Sir.

GH: Shut it down! Get the blast doors open!

TECH: I can't Sir! I'm locked out of the system.

GH: (Over intercom) Medical team to control room.

JAFFA: (On other side of gate) Onak! Cree! (The super trio come in, and
knock everyone down, then meet by a tree, look at each other, then run off.)
(You see black running thru the woods) (Sounds of grunts, and screams) (The
three have knocked down more Jaffa, and are walking into the ship)

JACK: (Seeing 2 men carrying naquata) Takes 2 guys to carry that?!

SAM: Weapons grade naquada is extremely dense. Sir, do realize how many
Naquada reactors a single bar like that could power?

JACK: No.

SAM: A lot!

DANNY: I'll get it. Meet ya back here. (He zips off)

Sam and Jack come zipping up a long corridor. Sam takes off her hat, and
bends down passing her hands thru her hair.

SAM: Whoa, Sir. Is it hot?

JACK: Little bit. You all right?

SAM: Yeah. I'm fine. (Beginning to walk) The force shield should be ---
somewhere around here.

JACK: Heads up! (He and Sam run thru the shield) (Looks up) Whoa! (The ship
goes up several stories) 5 minutes.

SAM: Right. After the cooling system goes down, it should take about 10
minutes for the power core to go critical. That leaves us 15 minutes total
to get back to the gate.

JACK: Whatever. (Zips off, Sam follows)

Danny's running with the naquata on his back, seemingly weighed down, he's
struggling to keep his breath.

SAM: Did ya get the naquata?

DANNY: (Sighs) Oh, (Out of breath) It's --- uh --- it's in the pack.

JACK: Good, let's go! (Pats his back) (Jack and Sam run)

DANNY: (EXTREMLY out of breath! Almost wheezing!) Actually, this --- is ---
is getting kinda --- heavy --- (Jack and Sam whiz by, a thump is hear. The
two come back) (Danny's laying on the ground)

JACK: Daniel?

SAM: What's going on?

DANNY: I can't move. (His armband comes off) (He appears to pass out)

GH: The arm bands are gonna come off on their own?

TS: The last bits of data from their biosensors before they stepped thru the
gate indicate traces of an antibody.

JANET: To the virus that allowed the devices to enhance their speed and
strength.

TS: I'm afraid we solved the mystery of the antiknock's extinction.

GH: How so?

JANET: The armbands only work for a limited time, Sir.

TS: As the immunity spread across the atinick warriors, the armbands proved
useless. I guess they never solved the problem.

GH: Which means SG-1 are out on a planet filled with heavily armed Jaffa
with an advantage that could disappear at any time?

JANET: Yes, Sir.

TS: (Host) General, for what it's worth, Anise and I are sorry. We were not
aware of the mission prior to our arrival here. (The snake is back!<g>) I do
hope SG-1 returns safely. (Janet gives her a pair of eyes!)

JAFFA: Halt! Cree!

JACK: (He and Sam are kneeling over Danny) (Stands up) All right! You got
us! Don't Cree! (The Jaffa goes to shot them, and gets a ZAT hit.) (The
other Jaffa shoots them, and they move out the way of the blast just in
time.) (That Jaffa gets a ZAT hit for his efforts. <g>)

TEAL'C: It seems my assistance was required after all!

JACK: Yes, thank you!

DANNY: (Waking up) What happened?

SAM: You passed out. Your arm band came off. (Teal'C puts Danny arm around
his shoulder)

JACK: (Seeing and hearing Jaffa coming) All right, talk later! We gotta
move! Teal'C, get Daniel out of here, back thru the gate. Carter, you're
with me! (As you see Teal'C and Danny leaving, you hear grunts from the
Jaffa) (Sirens are going off, C-4 explosive is shown with 2 minutes 43
seconds left.) (Sam and Jack go thru 2 force shields. At the 3rd one, Sam
gets stopped by the shield.) (Jack sees her lying on the other side of the
shield) Carter? (The armband comes off of her.) (She looks at it surprised,
then passes out.) (Slow motion of Jack running to the shield, yet getting
hit by it remaining on the safe side of it, while she's trapped on the
unsafe side.) AAWW! (He falls to the ground, the armband come off of him,
and he passes out.)

DANNY: (Walking out side the ship with Teal'C) Where are they?

TEAL'C: They should have been right behind us. Continue on, DanielJackson.
(He runs back, and is hit by a force shield.)

SAM: (Waking up, and see Jack passed out.) Sir --- (Picks up armband, and
throws it down) COLONEL!!??!?

JACK: Whoa! (Walking up, and looking at her, then his armband next to him,
then back to her.) We should've brought more snacks!

SAM: I don't think that would've helped.

JACK: 1:56. (Sam looks at the force shield. Jack bangs on it)

SAM: Sir, you've gotta get out of here!

JACK: So do you.

TEAL'C: I am not leaving, DanielJackson.

DANNY: Well, I'm not --- suggesting we should. There is no way in there to
help them.

TEAL'C: No.

Jack is banging on the control panel. Sam's just looking at him.

DANNY: 10 minutes after that C-4 goes, this whole mountain is gonna explode.

TEAL'C: I am aware of that.

DANNY: So, the fact that we're staying is based on a completely informed
decision?

TEAL'C: It is.

DANNY: 'Kay, just makin' sure.

SAM: (As Jack is trying to pull out panel) Sir --- Sir, there's no time!

Jaffa footsteps are heard. Sam looks back at Jack. C-4 explosive says 8
seconds. Sirens are blaring.

DANNY: Here goes.

The Jaffa position them selves. The bomb goes off, knocking Sam and Jack
down. Jaffa fall as well. The shield is lifted.

SAM: Did you see that?!

JACK Let's go! Carter forget that! Leave it!

TEAL'C: The shield is down. (Runs inside, and is met by Sam and Jack.)

JACK: Come on, let's go! Move, move, move! I thought I told you guys to get
back to that gate!

DANNY: Yeah, Teal'C wouldn't leave.

SAM: (They're running thru the woods, jaffa hot on their trail) Less than a
minute!

TEAL'C: (Jaffa are shooting staff weapons at them.) Get down! (He turns and
ZATs them.) (He runs ahead of the panting humans, and dials the gate.) (The
ship blows up as they are running to the gate.)

Klaxons are blaring at base. TS, GH, and a couple SF's are walking into the
gate room. SG-1 are throw thru the gate.

JACK: Just remember, I retired! YOU wanted me back!

GH: Colonel, are you all OK?

DANNY: Think so.

SAM: Will be!

TEAL'C: I am very well, General Hammond!

GH: What happened?

JACK: The damn armbands fell off is what happened!

TS: (Snake mode) I am sorry!

GH: Were you successful in destroying the ship?

TEAL'C: Indeed we were, General Hammond.

GH: Good! Report to the infirmary.

JACK: Uh, General, Sir, about the obviously impending court-marshals, I'd
like ---

GH: You were all under the influence of Alien technology, Colonel. I'd say
that a pretty solid defense.

JACK: Even so, I --- I'm sorry.

SAM: Me too!

DANNY: Me, three.

TEAL'C: I have no need to apologize.

GH: Teal'C was actually following orders.

JACK: Of course he was!

TS: You left the armbands behind.

SAM: We had other things on our minds.

TS: Understandable. Colonel? (Host) Anise and I both hope we can work
together in the future.

JACK: BOTH of you? Can't wait for that!

As the show is ending, TS is looking around the gate room.

Episode 67 - "The Other Side"

SERGENT DAVIS: (Over PA) Unscheduled offworld activation!

AIRMAN: (To other airmen) Move, move, move, move, MOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SAM: (To Davis) I still can't make it out ... try to filter out the subspace
RF interference.

JACK: Carter.

SAM: (Surprised?) Colonel! Sir, this is the 5th incoming wormhole in the
last hour and a half.

JACK: All right, I'm here 2 hours early ... When did YOU get here?

SAM: (Looking away) I ... haven't left yet.

JACK: Didn't I ORDER you to get a life?

SAM: Yes, Sir, you did ... but, you see ...

DANNY: I just heard ... they sent a RADIO signal this time? (Jack's looking
at Danny strangely)

SAM: Yeah, but the frequency they're using is just outside the range of our
equipment. We're trying to make the adjustment.

JACK: (To Danny) What are YOU doing here?

DANNY: Well, someone's trying to contact US ... how often does THAT happen?

DAVIS: We can recieve now, Major.

SAM: OK, pipe it thru the speakers, and ... try to match it so we can
transmit back.

MAN: This is the Urondan base ... have you reached the other side?

SAM: Oh, my God!

Man continues asking for other man. I can't understand ... no closed
captioning! I'm doing it from an ASF! He said something about going thru the
portal ...

SAM: This is Major Carter of the United States Air Force. It is IMPERATIVE
that you send NO ONE else thru the gate! (Man continues talking!)

DAVIS: He can't hear you, Major. We still haven't matched the frequency.
(Man continues)

MAN: We believe this STARGATE is a portal to the home of our ansesters ...
(Indistinct) Our supplies are all but gone ... our defences are on the verge
of collapse ... help us ... please!

SAM: (After the gate shuts down) (Quietly) Damn! (To Davis) All right! There
were 4 offworld activations prier to this one, and the iris was closed the
whole time ... How many impact events did the computer record?

DAVIS: (Checks on computer) (Somberly) 3. (Sam closes her eyes)

JACK: So ... 3 dead.

SAM: (Crying?) (Somberly) Yes, Sir.

DANNY: I'm ... gonna ... go ... look up Euronda. (He walks away)

JACK: (Noting Carter's tears) Not your fault, Carter ... (Touches her
shoulder?) Move on.

SAM: (Quietly) Yes, Sir.

Opening Credits ...

MAN: (Still mostly inaudible) You kindred are besiged by an enemy ...
supplies all but gone ... our defences ... Help us, please!

HAMMOND: All right, assuming they make contact again ... assuming they
transmit the coordinates to their world, What kind of help can we seriously
offer?

DANNY: Well, uh ... food ... clothing ... medical supplies ...

TEAL'C: Clearly they seek military assistance above all else.

HAMMOND: Lord knows what they're up against.

TEAL'C: They, themselves may be Goa'Uld. Such a ruse would be keeping within
their tacktics.

SAM: I don't think that's the case, Teal'C.

DANNY: They call themselves ... our ... "Kindred".

HAMMOND: Some of whom have already met their deaths against a closed iris
... that's hardly the grounds upon which to build a dipliomatic
relationship.

SERGENT DAVIS: (After the gang hears the gate starting) (Running up stairs)
Sir, we have another off-world activation! (Runs back down the stairs) (The
gang follows) (Running down stairs talking) We've made the adjustments to
our equipment, Major. Two way communication shouldn't be a problem this
time!

SAM: Thank you, Sergent. (She and Davis sit at the controls, the men in back
of them)

MAN: This is Alar from the nation state of Euronda. If anyone can hear me
...

HAMMOND: (Interrupting) Alar, this is General Hammond of the United States
Air Force ... can YOU hear ME?

ALAR: YES!! and may I say, General, your voice answers our prayers! (Shot
goes to Sam who has a angsty look on her face)

HAMMOND: We've heard your message and are consitering your request for help.

ALAR: I am prepared to step thru the portal immediately.

HAMMOND: We can not allow that.

ALAR: May I ask why?

HAMMOND: We have in place an impenatrable shield called an IRIS, that would
result in your death.

ALAR: (Shot goes to Sam ... gotta feel sorry for her! She cares!) Then,
(Somberly) The three vollenteers we sent thru ... (Sam does her closed eyes
thing.)

HAMMOND: There was no way to determine if they were friend or foe.

ALAR: I see ... and ... that is still the case ... clearly, we must gain
your trust. (Alar appears on the monitors all over the room.)

DAVIS: (Looks around) They're transmitting visual.

SAM: How?!

ALAR: Clearly, you can see for yourself that we are ... kindred.

HAMMOND: We do.

ALAR: There is much my people can offer in exchange for your trust. If I
could speak with you in person ...

HAMMOND: We need to know more about this enemy you're facing.

ALAR: We have co-existed on this world for centuries. Now, they occupy the
majority of Euronda's land mass.

JACK: Rules out anybody WE know.

SAM: How have you managed to survive for so long?

ALAR: Our facility is deep underground. Protected by defence fields, and our
weapons technology is far more surperior, but now, one or two of their
bombers have penatrated our airspace each day ...

DANNY: How did you find us?

ALAR: We discovered the stargate while creating the tunnels for our
defences. There were writings on the antient stones ... (An explosion is
heard, the visual gets scrambled a little) We are under attack, I MUST
return to the war room ... (Pleading) Please! ... Help us! (He runs away,
and the gate shuts down)

DANNY: (Everyone is looking around) So, what do we do?

TEAL'C: There is nothing we can do, DanielJackson, without the coordinates
to their world.

SAM: We've got them! (Jack looks at her with a raised eyebrow) He
transmitted them before disengaging.

DANNY: (During a briefing) I know it seems hopeless, and there's a lot of
unanswered questions, but, this is the first time that desendants of Earth
have actually called home. I mean, either we try to do ... something ... or
we let them die.

JACK: (Looking at Hammond who looks at him) It's your call, Sir.

HAMMOND: Colonel ...

DANNY: Now, I already know what you're gonna say ...

HAMMOND: ... you have a go.

DANNY: (Continues) ... but from a humanitarian (Jack looks at him) Point of
view ... (It registers what Hammond said) ... (In the adorable way, ONLY
Danny could) What?

HAMMOND: We can not and would not devoted the resorces to turn the tide of a
world war. However, as Doctor Jackson pointed out, there arwe humanitarian
concerns. We'll start with all the food and medical supplies you can take
with you ... Major, perhaps ...

SAM: We're on it, Sir. (Everone gets up to leave)

HAMMOND: (Stopping Jack) Colonel ... humanitarian concerns aside, we may
have found an advanced civilization willing to share technology with us to
help us fight the Goa'Uld.

JACK: That's my thoughts, Sir.

HAMMOND: I've already talked to the president and joint chiefs. If the
Eurondan government is open to trade, you're aurthorized to negotiate. (A
MALP is sent thru) (From the control room microphone) SG-1, you are to
report back within 24 hours, if you do not, your GDO's will be locked out.

JACK: (After saluting the General) (To Teal'C) You've got that look.

TEAL'C: To which look are you reffering, O'Neill?

DANNY: The one that says "I have misgivings about this mission, but deep
down, I know we're doing the right thing" ?

JACK: No, the other one.

DANNY: (Thinks) Ohhhh ...

They step thru the gate, and feel the ground shaking. They hear ALAR
moaning, and Sam runs to him.

ALAR: You have come!

SAM: It's Alar, Sir! I think he need medical attention!

Jack walks yup to them, an explosion happens, and nearly knocks him down.

DANNY: (Strained) (Trying to help Alar up)Teal'C! Gimme a hand, here!
(Teal'C goes to help him.)

MAN: (With gun) HALT! (Jack and Sam put up their guns.)

WOMAN: Disarm! NOW! (Teal'C, who's holding Alar up, sticks out his ZAT gun)
Where did you come from?!

ALAR: These are our Kindred of Earth! They have come to save us. (Lady puts
gun down, Jack hesitently puts his down. Alar recieves an injection in his
neck, and sighs.) I was on my way to the ..."Stargate" ... to attempt to
contact you again.

WOMAN: The defence field is down to minimum sustainable strength.

ALAR: (Deep sigh) I told you our kindred would come, Ferral.

FERRAL: You'll win the people's medal for this.

JACK: (Playing with globe on desk) Bombing's eased up.

ALAR: We are far more protected here where the defence field is strongest,
then in the tunnels where we discovered the stargate.

JACK: How's your head?

ALAR: Well enough to show you WHAT you have come to save. (Groans)

SAM: Take it easy, Alar. You might have a concussion.

ALAR: No, our beta canteen insures an immediate recovery, Major. I'm quite
fine.

TEAL'C: (Walking up with Danny) Supplies are being distributed as we speak.

DANNY: Apparently, they need ... everything.

ALAR: (Looking at Teal'C strangely) Who is this?

DANNY: Uh ... Alar, this is Teal'C. (Teal'C nods)

ALAR: You are not of their kin.

TEAL'C: I am, in fact, a Jaffa ... though, like you, my ansestors are
desendants of the Tau'Ri.

DANNY: Uh, the Tau'Ri is ... Earth. (Alar looks at Jack)

JACK: He's part of our team.

ALAR: (Sarcastically?) Is he? (Hesitantly) Then ... welcome. (Everyone looks
at each other.) COME!

TEAL'C: You appear to be a leader among your people.

ALAR: I am accorded the respect of my father ... he was a leader when the
war began. Now that we are fewer in numbers, we all share in the daily work.

DANNY: You DO know that the stargate is capeable of transporting your people
to OTHER worlds?

ALAR: Yes, that seemed apparent.

DANNY: Then why don't you evacuate thru the stargate?

ALAR: Because of what I'm about to show you ... (He opens the door to a huge
room)

SAM: They're in stasis.

ALAR: (Nods) Their auganomic functions have been regulated so that their
hearts beat only once every few minutes. (He QUICKLY passes his hand over
the panel, changing pictures is shown) We had little choice but to live
underground in this facility. Resourses are limited. This is the only way to
preserve the generation of my father.

TEAL'C: May they be revived again?

ALAR: Not until the day we reclaim our world.

DANNY: How many are there?

ALAR: Thousands in here ... thousands more in another chamber like this one
... (Shot goes to Jack looking around) ... awaiting the end of a war that
will not end. (He walks away, SG-1 look at each other, and then follow him)
(They walk in the "War" room.) From this room, we conduct our national
defence.

SAM: For all of Euronda?

ALAR: Yes.

MAN: A single enemy recon drone approaches our airspace, Sir.

ALAR: Thank you, Controller. Each station is capeable of piloting a
formation of unmanned airofighters. Because of these Men and Women, enemy
bombers rarely return home.

TEAL'C: Most impressive.

JACK: What about ground attack?

ALAR: The pilots are capeable of detering it, but the enemy hasn't risked a
ground attack in several years.

TEAL'C: For what reason? You are both outnumbered and surrounded. Why would
they not press their advantage?

FERRAL: The atmosphere of Eurona has been poisoned since the war began. The
surface is unliveable.

DANNY: Um ... um ... (Clears throat) forgive me if this sounds uh ... What
is there left to fight over?

ALAR: It will not all ways be this way. (Points to table) An enemy craft is
apporaching our parimeter ... would any of you care to attempt to shoot it
down?

FERRAL: The target is nearly an unmanned recognesis drone. It's looking for
bomb damage.

JACK: UN Manned?

ALAR: Think of it as a demenstration, Colonel. Are not your people more
willing to come forth with assistance if you know what we have to offer?

JACK: (After Sam raises her eyebrows, and cocks her head toward him) Sure.
(Sits down in machine) So, does this thing take quarters, or ...

FERRAL: You'll find the weapons system most intuative. The hand controls are
secondary. Targeting and vectoring occur as a direct result of neuro
interface.

JACK: (Adorable confused look) Carter?

SAM: Uh, it'll do whatever your mind wants it to do, Sir.

JACK: Ah! (Smiles) WHOA! (a light passes infront of him) Thing's fast.

FERRAL: You are pioleting several arofighters at once in formation.


JACK: YEah, got it ... 11:00 ... Looks like a biplane. (He lines up the
target, and fires.) Nice.

ALAR: Well done.

JACK: Yeah! Not bad! (Looks at man in next chair.) Not bad for an old guy,
huh? (The man just looks ... for lack of a better word ... F*^ked up<g>)
What's with him?

ALAR: Olan is one of ouor best pilots, Colonel. But, he's spent most of his
adult like in that chair, and years of exposure to the neuro interface is
damaging. Very few of us, including myself can ever pilot again without
risking what has happened to Olan.

JACK: Excuse me?!

ALAR: (Chuckles) Rest assured, Colonel. Your brief exposure with cause you
no harm. Now, come! Let us celebrate our new alliance. (Jack looks at Olan,
who has his mouth open, and rubs his jaw.) (In the dining room) I entended
to save this bottle until the end of the war. May the friendship between our
worlds be the first step toward that end. (Holds up glass of Wine) To
Friendship!

FERRAL: To friendship.

DANNY: Friendship.

SAM: Friendship.

JACK: Friendship. (They all drink) (Jack smells it, then drinks)

ALAR: (Noticing Teal'C's full glass sitting infront of him.) You ... did not
join in the pledge.

TEAL'C: I do not consume alcohol.

ALAR: Ah!

FERRAL: Were you impressed by our weapons system, Colonel O'Neill?

JACK: Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! We'll take a dozen! (Everyone laughs)

FERRAL: This food you've brought is most flavorful.

JACK: We can do much better, believe me.

FERRAL: You must understand that we have survived on nothing but
hydroplonically grown yeast for many years.

DANNY: Is THAT what this is?!

SAM: Your power generation requirements must be enormous.

ALAR: Do you not utalize controlled fusion on earth?

JACK: *Controlled ...* (Smiles, and shakes head)

ALAR: It is a most efficient means of power generation ... unfortunally the
tutarian oxide fuel we require to operate our reators is now in short
supply.

SAM: Heavy water! It's like regular water, Sir, except it's hydrogen nucleus
contains two ...

JACK: (VERY Cocky) I KNOW what heavy water is, Major! (Jerk!) <g> (She looks
down, appearing to bite her lip ... I would have decked hi ... OK! To move
on!) And if that's what the Eurondens need, that's what we'll get them.

ALAR: (Surprised, appearing to salivate at the mouth. LOL!) In return, we
can teach your people how to construct weapons systems such as ours ...
erofighters, stasis devises, fusion reactors ...

JACK: Sounds fair. (Looks at Sam) OK?

SAM: Medicine, Sir ...

JACK: Oh! Right! Uh ... we were very impressed with the beta cara ... candy
... stuff ...

ALAR: Beta cantein ... of course!

DANNY: Jack ... (Pauses)

JACK: Daniel ...

DANNY: Shouldn't we ask them what they want the heavy water for?

JACK: Oh, no, I don't think so ...

ALAR: The power generated by your heavy water would be used to reenforse our
defences, Doctor Jackson.

JACK: (Raises eyebrow @ Danny) Daniel? (Daiel takes a sip of drink)

ALAR: ... and, in due course, to strike back at the enemy.

DANNY: (putting drink down hard) JACK! (Getting pissed)

JACK: Daniel? (Still calm) Shouldn't we have this discussion some other
time?

DANNY: (Calmer now) No! I ... don't think so ... (Jack just gives him a
dirty look)

ALAR: Surely you can understand our desire to end this war that has lasted
for a generation ...

DANNY: No, I do understand that, Alar, I do, it's just ... it's just that
... the stargate ... because it's capeable of transporting your people to
another world entirerly ...

ALAR: But I have told you, thousands of our people are in stasis ...

DANNY: Well, take em out of stasis, and find a new home.

ALAR: Then what would all this have been for? THIS ... is our home!

DANNY: I'm sorry, I just don't understand why you would want to (Jack's
getting pissed!) continue to fight a war when there's another choice.

JACK: Daniel ... you heard the man.

DANNY: You said yoourself that the atmosphere was poisoned ... what is there
left to win?

The ground, glasses, and chandelier starts shaking.

CONTROLLER: Alar, and enemy bomber has penatrated the outer perimeter.

FERRAL: Defence stations.

ALAR: Please excuse us. We;ll be in the War Room once you reach you
decision.

JACK: Next time i tell you to shut up ...

DANNY: I didn't hear you tell me to "Shut up".

JACK: Too suttle for ya?

DANNY: For once, yes. Would you hear me out ...?

JACK: (Standing) Carter? Our standing orders ... what are they?

SAM: To ... seek new allies, and percure technologies to aid in the defence
against the Goa'Uld.

JACK: And have we carried out those orders?

DANNY: We came here to HELP them. (Ground shakes again)

TEAL'C: (Looking up) Is that not what we are doing, DanielJackson?

DANNY: No ... their who world is in flames, and we're offering gasoline ...
how is that gonna help?

TEAL'C: (Cocks head) We are, in fact, offering water ...

JACK: (To Teal'C) Thank you!

DANNY: I was speaking mediforically.

JACK: WEll, Stop it! ... You're not being fair to Teal'C. (Teal'C just looks
confused) Decision's made.

DANNY: This mission has never had anything to do with helping these people
has it? We came here to help ourselves!

JACK: Carter, Take Daniel back with you ... tell Hammond we struck a deal.

SAM: Yes, Sir.

DANNY: You don't give a DAMN what's gonna happen to them! You want their
technology, and you're taking advantage of the situation!

JACK: (Ground's shaking again) (Yelling over rumbling) YES! YES, I AM
DANIEL! (Rumbing calmed a little) They're getting something they want, we're
getting something WE want! I don't have a problem with that! (To Sam)
CARTER!

SAM: We're on our way, Sir.

DANNY: This conversation isn't over!

JACK: Oh, you're right, Daniel! It's NEVER over with you! (More shaking)
It's always the same damn thing!

DANNY: This has got nothing to do with me!

JACK: Do you ever realize what they're offering?

DANNY: But at what price?

JACK: (Whispers) Oh, for cryin' out loud!

DANNY: Where ya goin'?

JACK : To see what I can do to help!

Jack leaves, follows by Teal'C. Sam stands at the door for Danny to proceed
her, then leaves.

At the base ...

SAM: I am not defending him, Daniel! I just happen to agree with him!

DANNY: Well, don't you realize what we would be doing?

HAMMOND: Major? Doctor?

SAM: (Looks at Danny, who's appearing to be busy) Sir, Colonel O'Neill has
negotiated access and avaliability to almost every Eurondan technology. In
exchange for an unspecified quantity of Heavy Water.

HAMMOND: That's all they want?

SAM: That's all.

HAMMOND: What do they want it for?

DANNY: Thank you! Thank you for asking the question.

SAM: As you know, Sir, Heavy Water contains tutarium.

HAMMOND: Which can be used to make nuclear power.

SAM: Yes, but they use it to fuel nuclear fusion generators.

HAMMOND: Fusion?

SAM: According to Alar, the additional power would be enough to stave off
defeat.

HAMMOND: They're willing to share THAT technology as well?

DANNY: Of course, they're willing ... they're despirate!

SAM: Yes, Sir... everything! and it is incrediable! They're at least 100
years ahead of us ... maybe more! But, if we don't act soon, they are going
to be over run.

HAMMOND: Sergent Siler?

SILER: I'll get right on it, Sir.

HAMMOND: (Off of Danny's weary look) Doctor, you don't approve?

DANNY: You said yourself, we could not and would not devote the resourses
necessary to win a war ... wha ...

HAMMOND: Obviously, I was speaking in terms of military assets ... human
lives.

DANNY: But, there was a moral issue?

HAMMOND: Yes.

DANNY: But if we could provide the power of all that and more in the form of
water, then the moral issue just ... evaporates?

HAMMOND: (Pissed look, but calm voice) I shouldn't have to remind YOU ...
that Apophis is alive, and at present, capeable of wiping us from the face
of this Earth without contest. It is the mandate of this organization to
make sure THAT doesn't happen!

DANNY: I understand that ... I do. We've only ever seen one side of this ...
dowe even know why they're fighting?

SAM: For their lives.

DANNY: Yes! Yes, and I was all for saving those lives, but we're about to go
way, way ... WAY beyond that. We're about to turn the tide of a world war we
know nothing about against an enemy that we know nothing about. Is that the
right way to get their technology? Yes! But ... is it ... the right thing to
do?

SAM: It's a fair question, Sir.

DANNY: Yes ... it is.

FERRAL: (Something I didn't understand about bombings) How long?

TEAL'C: MajorCarter and DanielJackson will return as soon as they are able.

FERRAL: There are too many!

JACK: Use a couple more pilots?

FERRAL: (Surprised?) Yes!

MAN: Aerofighter squadron veckering target ... enemy bombering incoming
bearing 0,0,mark 3 ...

JACK: Yeah, I see em.

ALAR: (Seeing the several barrels of heavy water Sam and Danny brought) This
was all you were able to bring?!

SAM: On short notice, yes.

ALAR: This short amount will not last a day!

SAM: There's more coming ... we thought it would be best to bring what
little we could as soon as possible.

ALAR: (Despirately) More is on the way?! You are certain?!

SAM: Much more ... Yes! (She and Danny share a look)

ALAR: (To man) Add the fuel to the rectors, and set the defence field to
full power. A demonstration to the enemy ... we must show them we are strong
once more! (Explosion)

DANNY: In the meantime, we have ... questions.

ALAR: Yes, yes ... as soon as the attack is over, we will provide all that
we have promiced. (Sam and Danny share another look as an explosion goes
off) Come! It isn't safe.

CONTROLLER: Enemy bombers over the city.

JACK: Teal'C, target the lead bomber, I'll take the other one.

TEAL'C: I have it, O'Neill. (Targets bomber, and blows it out of the sky,
making it apparently hit outside the building cause something explodes)

SAM: That one sounded close.

ALAR: Directly above us in the old city. Let me show you another of the
wonders we intend to share with you for all you've done. (Touches wall,
which disappears) The field generator is capeable of repelling the force of
many bombs like a great shield. It saved our people from destruction my
entire life. You see? The fuel you brought has strengthened it again.

SAM: How long will that last?

ALAR: For several hours.

SAM: I'm certain we'll be able to send more heavy water by then.

ALAR: Yeah.

JACK: Mine's gone for the deck. (The bomber flies by the buildings trying to
avoid Jack, to no avail. Jack shoots the bomber ... it comes back at Jack's
gun, and two people are seen driving the bomber before a bright light shines
in Jack's eyes, making him cover his eyes. ) GOD!

TEAL'C: O'Neill? Are you all right?!

MAN: Enemy bomber destroyed.

JACK: Yeah, what the hell was that?!

FERRAL: The lead erofighter in your formation struck an enemy bomber head
on.

JACK: I saw PEOPLE in that thing! You said they were unmanned!

FERRAL: I said the recognesis craft was an unmanned drone. It presented an
easy target, and therefore, a suitable demonstration. (Jack look pissed!)
But their bombers ARE manned. You have killed several of our enemy, Colonel
... and we are grateful. (Jack does NOT look pleased!<g>)

Back to meeting room.

EURONDENS: (Raising their glasses) He is remembered.

TEAL'C: FOr whom do you pledge this remembrance?

ALAR: My father ... thru his vision, our nation has survived.

TEAL'C: I see. (Sounds kinda skeptical) (He and Alar share a stare down)

ALAR: It is customary among our people to formalize such agreements as ours.
In exchange for all our knowledge, technology, medicines, Earth will provide
us with however much heavy water we require to end this war once and for
all. Do not be allarmed, Colonel. Just 3 or 4 times that which you have
provided on a daily basis.

SAM: That adds up to several metric tons a year, Sir.

ALAR: Which is a small price to pay for what we have to offer in return.

THALMA: Alar, Listen. (Silence)

JACK: (10 second later) What?

ALAR: Silence. (Chuckles) I hardly recognize it. When at full strength, our
defence field make us as invonerable as when I was a boy. I propose we write
down on paper what we all ready share in our hearts.

DANNY: (Clears his throat loudly) Um, before we do that, I have a question.

SAM: (Off of Jack's look and sigh) General Hammond also would like to know,
Sir.

ALAR: It's allright, Colonel. I don't mind.

DANNY: How did this war start?

ALAR: The first enemy bombs fell along Euronda in a surprise attack. I was a
boy of 9. I remember that night. I remember the floor of the room in which
my father sequestered me SHOOK with each explosion ... I remember ...
knowing that each bomber got thru ... ment ... that another building,
another HOME ... another street in the city above me ... is gone. That is
how this war began, Doctor.

DANNY: And for that ... we only have your word. (Jack closes his eyes ...
he's NOT pleased!)

ALAR: Three of our best men died attempting to reach Earth thru your
stargate.

DANNY: Well, that was an accident.

ALAR: And we have only YOUR word. (Long moment of silence while Danny and
Sam look at each other)

JACK: (Rather sarcastically) Any more question, DANIEL?

DANNY: Yes. Uh ... I'd like to know a little more about your enemy. (Jack
closes his eyes tightly ... Danny's really pushing it! :-) )

ALAR: (Nervously) Is this ... part of your barganing process , Colonel?

JACK: (If looks could kill, by the way Jack's looking at Danny, the Space
monkey would be dead!) NOT normally.

ALAR: What more can we offer you than everything we have?

DANNY: Then why don't you just answer the question?

ALAR: Colonel O'Neill? Do we have an agreement?

JACK: We do.

DANNY: Jack ...

JACK: DANIEL! ... (Quieter) Shut up... Is THAT clear enough?

SAM: (After a moment of silence) Sir, if you're gonna go back and tell
General Hammond, I would like to stay here and take a look at their fusion
technology.

JACK: FINE! (Takes a sip of drink)

ALAR: It would be my pleasure to show you personally. (Sam looks at Jack,
and gets up. Danny remains silent, but you could tell he wants to say
something.) I understand you shot down one of our enemy bombers, Colonel.
Congratulations ... perhaps you'll try it again.

JACK: I don't ... think so!

ALAR: Well, if you're conserned about lives lost, remember, they're YOUR
enemy now. I look forward to your return. Which reminds me ... perhaps it
would be best if ... if the jaffa did not return.

JACK: Teal'C? Why? He hasn't said a word.

ALAR: It's not what he said ... it's what he IS.

JACK: Well, he's different. I'll grant you that.

ALAR: NOT like us. (Meaning not white, and Jack got a little light bulb)

JACK: Right.

ALAR: Major Carter! After you. (Jack has a disbelieving look on his face.
Danny comes up to the DHD, and starts dialing the address. He puts in the
first point, and raises his hand for the second. Jack grabs his hand,
stopping him.)

JACK: We're not going.

DANNY: Why?

JACK: Teal'C and I are gonna have a look around first. You ... ask
questions.

DANNY: I thought you told me to ...

JACK: I KNOW what I said, Daniel ... it was rude, & short sided, & I'm
sorry.

DANNY: (Confused) Well, thank you for ... recognizing that.

JACK: Now, I'm saying this ... go ask questions... LOTS of questions!

ALAR: One single fusion reactor is capeable of generating power for the
entire facility. I assume you extract tutarium from sea water?

SAM: Yes. 70% of the Earth's surface is ocean, so Heavy Water production
shouldn't be a problem.

ALAR: The sea in which we used to extract heavy water as you call it, is now
in enemy hands hundreds of miles away. You can see that the storage tanks
are nearly empty.

SAM: You must have been building this place long before the war started.

ALAR: The war was inevidable.

SAM: Well, how long did you expect to stay down here?

ALAR: Until the air is free from poison. Excuse me. (Sam looks at the plans
in confusion.)

JACK: So, what's your impression of Alar?

TEAL'C: That he is conceling something.

JACK: Like what?

TEAL'C: I am not sure ... but he is conseling it. (Teal'C ZATS the door to
the stasis room) (Jack passes his hand SLOWLY over the console.) What is it,
O'Neill?

JACK: They're the same! (Continues to pass hand slowly over console,
disbelieving) Every DAMN one of em's the same!

DANNY: Hey, Ferrel.

FERREL: Doctor.

DANNY: Uh ... I just thought that since we're gonna be allies, I thought we
should get to know a little bit about our new enemy. OK! uh ... you call
them the enemy? Um ... understandably they're ... your enemy ... but, uh ...
they must have a name. For example: I'm American. My grandfather was Dutch
... what do you ... call them?

FERRAL: Sometimes we call them breeders.

DANNY: Breeders?

FERREL: How they reproduce. Indescriminately ... with no reguard for Genetic
purity.

DANNY: (Realization just hit him!) Really? So ... they come in all shapes
and sizes.

FERREL: Yes.

DANNY: And colors?

FERREL: Yes!

DANNY: (Dumbfounded) Really?

ALAR: This storage facility contains plans, specifications, and formulas
upon which our technology is based. Together, I'm sure we can find a way to
transfer the information to your computers.

SAM: Alar, these pipes extend from the lowest level right up to the surface.

ALAR: Yes.

SAM: But you said the atmosphere was poisoned. It doesn't make any sense!

MAN: Enemy bombers aproach the perimeter.

ALAR: Engage them!

DANNY: Jack!

JACK: What'd you find out?

DANNY: ThEY did it! They started the war ... I don't know how, but they did
it!

ALAR: Where is the fuel?

JACK: There's been a delay.

ALAR: What sort of delay?! The enemy is attacking in forse, we NEED that
fuel!

JACK: We just have to buy a little time ... Teal'C and I could help fight em
off until it gets here.

ALAR: Do it!

JACK: Stay on my wing, Teal'C.

SAM: (Well, for the smartest of the group, she's the last to realize<g>) It
was a preempted strike! Your enemy. When they began bombing, they were
trying to STOP you!

ALAR: Now is not the time, MAJOR!

FERRAL: The defence field is at minimum sustainable strength.

ALAR: Transfer energy from the stasis room.

SAM: (To Danny) The Eurondans built this place long before the war started.
They PLANNED it from the beginning!

DANNY: All right. But how do they expect to win a war from underground?

SAM: There are enormous gas pipes that run from holding facilities all the
way up to the surface.

DANNY: And the surface is poisoned!

SAM: They didn't just START a WAR, they were trying to exterminate them!

ALAR: It was HIS vision! My father saw that breeders were spreading across
the face like a plague. MILLIONS of them! We don't know how so many of the
managed to survive. But they do in spite of our best efforts. Contact your
General Hammond! Tell him we need that fuel IMMEDIATELY!

DANNY: We're not gonna do that.

ALAR: ARMS! (Men come with guns and point it at Sam and Danny) (Slowly, and
sounding really pissed!) CONTACT ... YOUR ... GENERAL ... HAMMOND! (Shot
goes to Jack helping the bombers)

FARREL: They're escorting the enemy bombers!

ALAR: WHAT?!?!

FARREL: He's attacking our own fighters!

ALAR: STOP HIM! (Sam kicks a man's ass ... literally, she kicks him to stop
him from stopping Jack. Danny hits the other man with a bat or something.
When the man bends down, Sam kicks him in the head.LOL! You go girlfriend!
<g> Danny gets the gun, and points it at Farrel . Jack continues to help the
bombers. Alar grabs a gun pointing it at Jack. Teal'C gets out of the thing,
and grabs the gun squeezing Alar's hand HARD! <A little too hard if you ask
me, but he deserved it!>) AH! (Alar's on his knees holding his hands.) (Jack
drives the craft right into the ground, making the tunnels shake.) (Jack
gets out the thing, and goes with his team.) (Yelling, over the noise) IT
COULD HAVE ALL BEEN YOURS!!!!

JACK: I wouldn't follow us if I were you.

ALAR: NO!

JACK: (After Danny opens the gate, to Danny and Teal'C) GO!

Sam and Jack are shooting the men who are shooting at them. They make a run
for the gate.

ALAR: Wait! WAIT!!!! (Jack and Sam both stop, and turn at the gate.) I could
teach you everything I know! Just let me come with you! (Emotionless face on
Jack) PLEASE! (The two soldiers go thru the gate.

On the other side, Sam is standing facing the open gate. Jack walks thru
slowly.

JACK: (Looking at Sam) Close the iris.

HAMMOND: Do it! (Shot goes to Sam, then to Jack. They're just looking into
each other's eyes.) (Shot goes to Davis, who sighs.) (An impact is seen on
the screen before the gate closes.) (Jack and Sam are still looking into
each other's eyes.) I take it, Colonel, you were unable to encure Eurondan
technology?

JACK: (Looks away from Sam to look at Hammond) That's correct, Sir.

HAMMOND: I'm sorry to hear that.

JACK: (Looks back at Sam) Don't be. (She raises her eyes, and their eyes
lock, and stay that way)

HAMMOND: We'll debrief in one hour.

JACK: (Looking at Hammond for a second) Yes, Sir. (Sam stands there looking
at him for 5 more seconds, then turns and walks off the ramp. He has an
impassive look on his face.)

Episode 66 - "Small Victories"

We begin with a scene of water, then going underwater --- to a submarine. An
alarm is sounding. Two sailors are speaking Russian. Clanking is heard. They
open the hatch, and water comes out scaring one of them. Whirring is heard.
The replicator attacks one of the sailors.

OPENING CREDITS!

JANET: (Pressing on someone's stomach) I hear it took a little longer than
they thought to set up the second gate. (It's Danny!)

DANNY: (Thru slightly pained voice) Uh, yes. They finally got it running
yesterday. Technical difficulties or something.

JANET: They needed Sam's help, huh?

DANNY: Yes, it's (Appears to be in pain as he sits up) It's ironic she's not
here to save herself.

JANET: Well, you are fine. There's no sign of residual infection. You were
very lucky.

DANNY: That's what they keep saying.

JANET: Well, I still want you to take it easy fo ---

TECH. DAVIS: Off world activation! We have an off world activation . (Danny
gets up, and runs down the hall.)

JANET: At least a week! O-Kay!

DANNY: (Running down the hall, running into people) AW! Excuse Me! Sorry!
OWWW! (At elevator) Hold that! (Airmen are surrounding the gate with guns)

TECH DAVIS: Receiving SG-1's I.D.C. , Sir.

GH: Open the iris. (The iris opens, and Danny runs in the gate room to wait
for his team mates)

JACK: (Walking thru followed by Sam and Teal'C) Well, it's about time!

SAM: We've been dialing home for about a week!

DANNY: It's great to see you guys, too.(Sarcastically)

TEAL'C: I am pleased to see you well, DanielJackson.

DANNY: Thank you, Teal'C. You've got a --- (Goes to touch Teal'C's
caterpillar)

JACK: (Motioning 'no' with his hands) (Whispering) Don't! Don't touch it.

GH: Glad you made it, SG-1.

JACK: Where's the fanfare, General?

SAM: We did kinda save the planet, Sir.

JACK: Again. This should not get old, General.

GH: Job well done.

JACK: Thank you , Sir. It was nothing.

DANNY: What happened to Thor?

SAM: Oh, we got him out in the Stasis pod.

TEAL'C: He was retrieved when we passed thru the stargate on P4X-234.

SAM: It must have had a locating beacon.

GH: They left you behind?

SAM: (Looks toward Jack) We were fine, Sir.

JACK: I'd be happy to (Looks at Sam) Debrief you all after I've had a nice
hot shower.

GH: Permission to shower granted. In fact, I insist on it, Colonel!

JACK: (Looks at Danny) Bad?

DANNY: I wasn't gonna say anything. (Sam smiles at Danny, and Teal'C touches
his arm.)

Shot of a lego block (Piece of replicator) being put under magnifying glass.
Jack walks up, and puts his face up to the glass, making Sam smile.

JACK: What ya doin'?

SAM: (Still smiling) They salvaged a couple of replicator pieces from the
ocean, I thought I'd take a look.

JACK: (Standing up) (Monotone voice) Is that --- wise?

SAM: Well, there's no discernable energy being emitted. I think it's pretty
safe to say they're dead. Besides, it's only just a couple of little blocks.

JACK: (Raises eyebrows) Well, I'm off.

SAM: Still going fishing? (Smiles)

JACK: Yep. (Grins) Still staying here?

SAM: Yeah. I think I've had enough relaxation for a while, Sir.

JACK: (Grins slowly) OK!

SAM: (Smiling) Have fun.

JACK: Ya Sure Ya Betcha! (Smiling and leaving)

SAM: (Phone rings) Carter? (A few second's pause) Yes, Sir. (Jack is shown
walking out) (Running after him) Sir, wait ---

JACK (Turning) Daja` Vu (Said Daja View!) <g>

SAM: General Hammond just called. Major Davis just called from the Pentagon.

JACK: NOT going fishing?

SAM: No, Sir.

JACK : (Quietly) Do'Oh!

Screen of Sub layout is shown.

MAJOR DAVIS ( DAVIS from now on!) : The Navy intercepted a mayday from the
Commander of the Fox-Trot-Class attack submarine.

JACK: That's Russian.

DAVIS: Yes. Code name Black Bird. The crew was being attacked by a large
mechanical spider.

JACK: (Looks up at Davis, then at Sam who looks back.) JUST one?

DAVIS: We thought it was a joke at first, then the transmission cut out.
Approximately 17:00 hours (5 O'clock PM) , the sub was spotted by aircraft
off the Nemitz, it was already surfaced, and none of the attempts to
communicate were returned. It was boarded. The crew was found dead.

SAM: All of them?

DAVIS: They got the bodies off before they discovered how they died.

JACK: (Looking at a picture of a replicator) That's them.

SAM: Sir, if this started with only one bug, it's already replicating.

DAVIS: The man that took the pictures factually, made it out. Then the
pentagon advised the Navy to tow the sub.

GH: Do the Russians know WE have it?

DAVIS: No, no. We're denying any knowledge, but uh --- this is going to get
sticky.

SAM: We have to make sure that none of the replicates get out of that sub.

DAVIS: It's under TIGHT supervision. The whole Harbor has been excavated and
the entire area cortered off. Our cover story is a dangerous chemical spill.

JACK: Blow it up! (Danny looks at Jack)

DAVIS: The Pentagon has requested that we take measures to preserve a number
of specimens for study.

JACK: The Asguard already tried that, and these buggers are on the verge of
wiping out their entire race.

DAVIS: That's why I'm here. You people are the closest things to experts
we've got.

JACK: As an expert, I'm saying Blow it up!

SAM: Sir, conventional weapons might not do it. At least one of the
replicators survived the destruction of Thor's ship.

JACK: Well, fine. Tow it back out to sea, and Nuke it!

DAVIS: We've considered that. (Looks @ GH)

GH: We're in a political mess right now, Colonel. The Russians picked up the
Asguard ship's reentry into the atmosphere.

JACK: (Ever so clueless! <g>) So?

DAVIS: They're not buying our version of the story. They already think we're
responsible for what happened with their sub. A nuclear explosion in
international waters --- it's kinda hard to cover up.

SAM: I don't think you realize how DANGEROUS these things are.

DAVIS : IS there ANY other way we can neutralize these things? Some sort of
Alien technology you've come across?

TEAL'C: The replicators are impervious to Goa'Uld technology. (Looks @
Davis) They are, however susceptible to human projectile weaponry. (Davis
looks at Jack<g> He's so cute!)

JACK: (Looks back) Guns. (Davis looks like "Duh?!")

SAM: Sir, if there's still a small enough number of the replicators on
board, a properly equipped team could possibly ---

JACK: --- Save the world?

SAM: Getting old for you, Sir? (Jack just stares at her. Danny looks at Jack
confused.)

DAVIS: I'd better inform the pentagon.

TECH DAVIS: Unscheduled off world activation!

GH: We have no teams off world! (The troops line up with guns, you know, the
usual!) Why isn't the iris closing?

TECH DAVIS: I'm trying, Sir. It's not responding! We're showing an
increasing loss of power in the base.

SAM: WHAT?!

Everything shuts down. All the computers. Shot goes to open gate, and Thor
walks in.

JACK: That's Thor. (Walking in the gateroom. To soldiers) Stand down! Thor,
Old Buddy!

THOR: Greetings, O'Neill.

JACK: Good to see ya up and around.

THOR: I owe you and your team a great debt of gratitude for saving my life.

JACK: (He and Sam look at each other) Well, here's timing.

SAM: Not all of the replicators were destroyed when your ship exploded
entering the atmosphere.

JACK: Maybe you could help us out?

THOR: I cannot.

JACK: Why?

THOR: I have come by stargate because there are no ships to spare. My home
world is being threatened by the replicators. Thus far, all attempts to stop
them have failed. I have come here to seek YOUR help. (Gate shuts down, and
power to base is restored.)

TECH DAVIS: We're back online, Sir.

GH: Good!

JACK: How can WE help YOU?

THOR: Your projectile weapons proved effective in damaging the replicators.

JACK: Some.

THOR: Your technology and strategy for destroying the Balitzner was
successful.

JACK: Yeah, but --- you guys ---

THOR: The Asguard have tried to stop them. You have demonstrated their
weakness can be found thru a less sophisticated approach. We are no longer
capable of such thinking.

DANNY: Wait a minute! You're actually saying you need someone DUMBER than
you are?

JACK: You may have come to the right place. (Danny looks at Jack, who looks
back at him and Sam)

GH: Thor, with all due respect, we need SG-1 here.

SAM: I could go, Sir.

JACK: (Looks at her) I don't know, Carter. You may not be dumb enough.

SAM: (Smiles) I think I can handle it, Sir.

GH: Permission granted.

THOR: We must leave immediately. (Makes event horizon appear with a light on
his hand)

JACK: (Looking at Sam, she looking back) Have fun!

SAM: (Walking up the ramp with thor) Ya sure ya betcha!

They are in the Harbor.

JACK: Simple recon, Gentlemen. Do not fire unless ABSOLUTELY necessary.

TEAL'C: The replicators will not attack unless threatened.

JACK: Let's move.

SILER: Video feed's up and online.

DANNY: Jack? Can ya hear me?

JACK: Would it be necessary for me to mention my insane aversion to bugs at
this time?

Shot goes to The Asguard Home World. Thor and Sam are beamed into the room.
They look out a window, and see spaceships flying everywhere. There's a huge
space ship right in front of them.

SAM: Wow! That's an impressive looking ship!

THOR: ~The O'Neill~ was supposed to be our last great hope.

SAM: (Looks at Thor) ~The O'NEILL ~ ??!!

THOR: Yes. It is the most advanced technological Asguard creation yet. It is
the first Asguard vessel designed solely to fight against the replicators.

SAM: So, why aren't we taking that?

THOR: It is not ready.

SAM: Uh, where are we going , exactly?

THOR: 5 Asguard ships are currently engaging 3 ships controlled by the
replicators, which are on their way here. We are going to join the battle,
and with your help, stop them.

SAM: (Raises her eyebrows) O-Kay.

THOR: For the sake of the Asguard, we must not fail.

SAM: (Looking and sounding nervous) No pressure. (I'm assuming the ship that
takes off is the one Thor and Sam are in)

Shot goes to the submarine, and the four men climbing onto it. Then it goes
to the three hunks, Danny, Davis, and Siler looking at the monitors. Shot
goes back to the sub, and the men entering the sub. Jack goes down a ladder
into the sub. It shoes Jack's POV. Shot goes to Baker looking around, and
his POV. You see Baker on O'Neill's camera, and O'Neill on Baker's camera.
Shot goes to the three men looking on worried. They are tracking the 4 men
on a monitor using heat sensors. Shot goes to Steven's POV. He sees Teal'C.
Teal'C's POV, he looks back at Stevens. (OK! Moving on! They do that kinda
stuff, you get the picture. They go from one camera to another)

OK! After a few minutes of different camera shots, and going thru the sub,
Jack spots the replicators. There's about 4 of em, eating the sub.

JACK: They're a different color.

DAVIS: (To Danny) Some sort of camouflage? (Danny looks at him, appears to
raises his eyebrows, then looks back at the cameras)

JACK: We're movin' on.

Teal'C and Stevens walk thru the ship for a few minutes. Same camera shots
from one to the other. They open a door, and reveal a BIG one surrounded by
smaller bugs.

DAVIS: (Looks at the screen, gets up, and points to the big bug.) What is
THAT?

Teal'C and Stevens continue walking, passing many bugs, but not provoking
them. Shot goes to bug's POV, looking at Teal'C.

DAVIS: That's a big one!

DANNY: If that's some sort of Queen, the other bugs may try to protect it.

JACK: (Hearing what Danny said) QUEEN?!

The queen creates a big right there in front of Teal'C's eyes. A bug appears
by Stevens and whirs, scaring the young soldier, making him shoot it. The
queen perks up. Looks like she sends out the troops.

DANNY: Teal'C and Stevens are in trouble!

SILER: Battery room!

Jack's POV is seen, as he run thru the sub to the battery room. Teal'C sees
the bugs protect their queen before his camera goes out. Davis and Danny
both look worried. Jack catches up with Teal'C.

JACK: Stevens?

TEAL'C: (Out of breath) Dead.

JACK: Let's move! (The replicators are seen following the men, until they
close the door.)

Back to Thor and Sam.

THOR: Each individual building block is capable of exerting a reactive
modulating monopolar energy field on other blocks, allowing the replicators
to assemble themselves into many forms. To our knowledge, the interior of
each block contains the following: 2 million isolated kiron passages.

SAM: Whoa, whoa, whoa! What's a kyron?

THOR: In simplest terms, it is an energy particle.

SAM: I've never even heard of it!

THOR: Yes, I am aware.

SAM: Well, how am I supposed to figure out a way to defeat a kiron based
technology, if I don't know what a Kiron is?

THOR: The Asguard can never invent a weapon that propels small weights of
iron and carbon alloys by igniting a powder of (Sam smiles here) Potassium
nitrate, charcoal, and sulpher.

SAM: OK! I get your point. (Smiling)

THOR: We can not think like you.

SAM: OK! Let's forget about the Kirons, and try to put this in terms that I
can understand. Each block is like it's own individual computer capable of
communicating with the other blocks. Multiple blocks come together to create
bugs, and other things that perform various tasks, ultimately for the
purpose of replicating.

THOR: Correct.

SAM: I guess you don't keep any replicators around for study?

THOR: It is too dangerous.

SAM: Of course. That would be stupid. Just out of curiosity. Could, say, oh,
I don't know --- 2 blocks replicate?

THOR: It requires several blocks working together to make new blocks.

SAM: That's good to know. (Thor looks to the side, and a replicator appears)
It's virtual? Wow! It looks real. (She goes to touch it, and it snaps at
her, scaring her) WOW!

THOR: It will simulate any behavior we have observed.

Janet's messing with Teal'C's back.

JACK: (Looking Oh, so yummy in all black! ;-p) It's out of control. No
body's going back down there.

DAVIS: (Matching Jack's yummyness all the time, in his dress blues! <g>) We
have to blow up the sub, and hope that we can contain any of the bugs that
survived.

JACK: It's the only way.

DAVIS: I'll talk to the Pentagon.

JANET: Colonel? (Jack walks over to Janet and Teal'C) There's definitely
something in here. (She pulls out a bloody piece of replicator, and washes
it) Well, I think you brought back a souvenir. (She gives it Danny, who
looks at it.)

THOR: (Seeing her just looking at the replicator model) What is your current
thinking process?

SAM: (Standing up) Sorry! My mind was wondering for a second, there.

THOR: You were thinking about the humans on your planet.

SAM: (Sighs) Yes.

THOR: Colonel O'Neill is a very capable human. <It's official, guys! Thor's
a shipper!<g>>

SAM: Yes, I know, but these things are ---

THOR: If we are able to stop the invasion of my world, I promise, we will do
everything we can to help yours.

SAM: That's a pretty big IF.

THOR: Would you like sustenance?

SAM: (Think for a second) Yes! Thank you. I'm starving. (A tray appears)

THOR: I like the yellow ones.

SAM: (Talking a yellow one and biting it.) Oh, my God! (She gets a look of
disgust on her face, and spits the bite out into her hand.) Sorry. (Tries to
smile) (A screen appears with an asguard talking) What is it?

THOR: We have lost contact with the rest of the asguard ships engaged in
battle with the replicators.

SAM: Well, could it be a communication problem?

THOR: No. The Asguard ships are not being detected.

SAM: (Looking at 3 red ships on the screen) So, what are those?

THOR: The replicators.

SAM: We're too late!

Back to Earth, Danny is still looking at the piece of replicator.

DAVIS: THE DALLAS is standing by in the Harbor.

DANNY: THE DALLAS?

DAVIS: A class class-attack submarine. On my command, they'll target THE
BLACKBIRD with torpedoes.

DANNY: You should probably put a hold on that. (Jack looks up) This new
block is corroded.

JACK: (Davis shakes his head, not understanding) And the significance of
that is ---?

DANNY: Ok, look. The way Sam explained this to me, the bugs use whatever raw
material's around them to replicate. Now, these ones are eating the Russian
submarine, which means they're made of steel or what ever the sub is made
of.

TEAL'C: That is why they are a different color.

DANNY: And it may also explain why they haven't tried to get off the Russian
sub yet.

JACK: It does?

DANNY: They can't. You see, they're only as resilient as the raw materials
they're made of. These ones aren't like the ones on Thor's ship, though.
They'll rust or short circuit in the water. They're less sophisticated and
they're vulnerable.

DAVIS: I'm sorry. It sounds like you're now saying that blowing up the ship
will easily destroy them. If that's the case, why don't we just do it right
now?

DANNY: Because, there's still one bug that could survive.

TEAL'C: The one that survived Thor's ship.

JACK: (A light bulb finally comes on!<g> He hits his head) God!

DANNY: Right. It's the one that started all this by killing the entire crew
of that ship. We have to make sure this doesn't happen again.

JACK: (Reviewing the tapes from earlier) Mother bug.

DAVIS: (To Siler) It's a little dark. (Siler types something, and enhances
the picture to show the mother bug's outline inside the pod.)

DANNY: It's incorporated itself into the mother --- bug.

TEAL'C: I will return with you, O'Neill.

JACK: Ya sure?

DANNY: Uh, look, every other bug on that sub will probably be pretty upset
when you kill MOM.

JACK: Yeah! That'd be a fair reaction.

TEAL'C: Could we not create a diversion? The replicators are attracted to
bursts of energy, are they not?

JACK: A small charge on the upper level, draw them away from mom. They're in
a containable situation. Now's our shot.

SILLER: The sub's diesel engines just started.

DANNY: The replicators are trying to move?!

DAVIS: We're anchored for now, but you better get out there before they
decide to dive.

SAM: (Looking at a big ship that's blue being circled by 3 red smaller
ships. These are the ones infected by the replicators) So, how long before
they reach your planet?

THOR: 2 hours.

SAM: Your ships can go much faster than light speed! I've seen you fly clear
across the galaxy in no time.

THOR: Yes.

SAM: So, why are the bug's ships going so slow?

THOR: In order to generate the subspace field required to travel at hyper
speed, the full power of the generators is required. Presently, they are
using that power to replicate.

SAM: So, if they DID decide to go to hyper-speed, it would mean no shields
or weapons?

THOR: Yes. But remember, the replicators do not care about time as we do.

SAM: Right. They're not in a hurry. (Thinks) How do they get control of your
ships in the first place?

THOR: The replicators are capable of modifying our own weapon technology
beyond our understanding.

SAM: But I thought they learned everything they know from you.

THOR: It is possible they have gathered information from sources other than
the Asguard.

SAM: OK! The bottom line is we can't touch them, but they can easily take
over this ship, and blow it to smithereens if they wanted ?

THOR: Yes.

SAM: So why don't they?

THOR: We have shown no signs of aggression, and this ship's technology is
less advanced than that of the ships they currently occupy.

SAM: (Closes her eyes) I'm not really helping, am I?

Back to Earth ---

JACK: (Laying explosives) Charge is set.

SILLER: (To Danny) They're submerging.

DAVIS: (Into phone) Yes, Sir.

DANNY: Jack, the sub is diving.

JACK: (After scene of diving sub is shown) Yeah, we got that. Heading to the
battery deck.

DANNY: (After seeing Teal'C POV of Jack getting fuzzy ) We're loosing their
signal.

DAVIS: It's OK. The sub can't dive below periscope depth running on diesel
engines.

SILLER: Underwater radio transmitters boosters launched.

DANNY: How do they get out if the sub's underwater?

DAVIS: Escape hatch. (Into phone) Yes, Sir! (Danny looks at both screens)

THOR: You are tired.

SAM: Yeah.

THOR: This is another advantage the replicators have over us. They do not
require rest.

SAM: (Holding one of the food blocks) But they do have to eat?

THOR: Yes, in order to replicate.

SAM: and they ARE what they eat, right? What's the strongest material you
know of?

THOR: We have just developed a new alloy of naquata, triennium, and carbon.
It was used to create the hull of THE O'NEILL.

SAM: Can that ship reach hyper-speed yet?

THOR: Yes.

SAM: Can it be flown using auto-pilot or some sort of remote control?

THOR: Why?

SAM: So we can get the replicators to chase after it.

THOR: It is possible, however ---

SAM: This ship is everything they're looking for! It'll look like an
all-you-can-eat buffet!

THOR: But it is not completed. They will capture it, and consume it's
technology.

SAM: Not if you rig it to self-destruct.

THOR: I do not understand.

SAM: OK! You said that the bugs can't use shields or weapons in hyper-speed.
If THE O'NEILL enters hyper-speed, the bugs will have to in order to follow
it. What we do is we blow THE O'NEILL, and take the bugs with it!

THOR: Major Carter, you are suggesting we destroy the most advanced Asguard
attack vessel ever created before it is even finished.

SAM: I know!

THOR: THE O'NEILL is our last hope of successfully attacking
replicator-infested ships.

SAM: It won't attack ANYTHING if the bugs get to your planet before it's
finished. You said yourself, you didn't think the answer had anything to do
with your own technology anymore.

THOR: But if the replicators do not follow THE O'NEILL ---

SAM: We have to believe they will.

THOR: Then if the replicators are able to infest THE O'NEILL, and disable
the self-destruct ---

SAM: Then they will consume the ship, and it's technology, and we will have
created the most advanced replicators yet. I know! It's a risk.

THOR: A risk we can not take. (Sam signs)

Back to sub, Jack sets of the explosive, the bugs take the bait.

SAM: The whole reason that I am here is to suggest a strategy that you would
NEVER think of. You keep trying to defeat them by building better
technology, and they keep absorbing it, and becoming more advanced. You HAVE
to use that against them! We KNOW they'll go after THE O'NEILL, because it's
the most advanced ship you have. They'll think you're trying to keep it from
them. They won't expect you to blow it up, it's a tactic they've never seen
before.

THOR: It's a tactic we'd never consider.

SAM: Exactly! I mean, other wise, we'd just stand here, and watch them
invade your world. I'm sorry! Maybe it's a really STUPID idea, but isn't
that why I'm here?

THOR: Then we should try it. (He disappears)

Back to sub, Jack throws a grenade into the room with the Queen. They close
the door for the explosion, then open it again. She's fine!

JACK: Son of a BITCH! (Shoots his gun at it.)

TEAL'C: I believe you got it, O'Neill.

JACK: (Walks over to the escape hatch, and sees the replicators have built a
door over it.) What the HELL?! (Shoots the replicator door, and it rebuilds
its self)

TEAL'C: O'Neill!

JACK: Seeing a bunch of pissed off little techno bugs!) Oh, crap!

DAVIS: Colonel O'Neill, is there any way you can make it to the escape
hatch?

SILLER: The anchor line just snapped.

DANNY: Is there anything we can do?

DAVIS: Best thing we can do right now is try and chase them into shallow
water, and hope that they surface.

DANNY: No, there's not enough time for that.

JACK: Teal'C! Let's try this. (Opens an escape hatch, puts his head in, and
a bug jumps down. He shoots it. It's followed by many more coming down) All
right! Forget that! (The bugs have eaten thru a door, and Teal'C starts
shooting them) You better go ahead and blow this thing!

DANNY: That's not exactly a positive attitude, Jack!

JACK: (Taking off his helmet, and looking into it.) (Over noise of Bugs,
screaming) LISTEN TO ME! WE ARE NOT GETTING OUT OF HERE! MISSION
ACCOMPLISHED! BLOW IT!!!!!!!

DANNY: (Also yelling) JACK! ---

JACK: DANIEL, PLEASE!!!!!! (Pause, can't hear over bug noise) (Read lips, he
said move your, but it wasn't audible) ASS BEFORE I GET EATEN ALIVE BY THE
(Inaudible, I read the lips again, he said God.) DAMN BUGS. (Poor Danny
looks like he's gonna cry!) DAVIS! GIVE THE ORDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Davis
looks at Danny )

THOR: The O'NEILL has been launched.

SAM: (The O'NEILL passes by the replicators, and they start chasing her.)
They're chasing it!

THOR: THE O'NEILL Will now enter hyper-speed. (She goes into hyper-speed,
being closely followed by the replicators)

SAM: (After THE O'NEILL explodes, taking the 3 ships with her.) It worked!
(Sonic boom) Yes! (Hugs Thor.) OH! I'm sorry, I didn't hurt you, did I?

THOR: I am fine.

SAM: We did it!

THOR: It was YOUR stupid idea, Major Carter. (She smiles that pretty smile)

DANNY: (After seeing Jack and Teal'C being literally taken over by the bugs
thru Jack's helmet-camera.) Ok! OK!

DAVIS: Fire on target.

SILLER: DALLAS is firing torpedoes. 8 seconds to impact. BLACKBIRD
attempting evasive maneuver. Torpedoes still on target. 3 seconds. (Shot of
sub being hit) Direct hit.

DANNY: (After seeing a Shot of Jack falling down on the ground. Bugs all
around him, one crawling on his back. A bright light appears, making him
disappear!) They're OK!

DAVIS: (Who had his face in his hands, not wanting to look at the screen)
What?!

DANNY: (Stuttering) The --- the --- (Pointing up) the --- th --- th ---
they're OK! (Is Danny crying?? Well, he has unshed tears) (Davis puts his
hand on Danny's shoulder.)

JACK: (Appearing in the fetal position on Thor's ship) Now, THAT'S
timing!!!!!!!!

SAM : We came as soon as we could, Sir.

JACK: (Getting up, and crawling toward Teal'C) Teal'C, you all right? (Put
his hand on Teal'C 's shoulder, then his head)

TEAL'C: I am, O'Neill.

SAM: I take it things weren't going well.

JACK: Oh, we had things handled pretty good.

SAM: So the bugs are all taken care of down there?

JACK: Pretty much. You? (Smiles)

SAM: We kicked their asses.

JACK: (Raised eyebrow) They had asses?!

SAM: (Laughs) The Asguard had this big new ship, THE O'NEILL ---

JACK: (Standing up, and smiling) Oh, yeah?

SAM: But --- we had to blow it up. (Jack looses his smile)

THOR: The Asguard are most grateful. One day we will repay you by helping to
fight the Goa'Uld.

JACK: One day?

THOR: Saving one Asguard planet is a small victory, O'Neill. The conflict
with the replicators stretches across my galaxy. Major Carter's strategy
worked this time, (Jack looks at Sam, who looks back) but the replicators
are very intelligent, it may not work again.

JACK: I get it.

THOR: However, now there is hope where once there was none.

SAM: You ever need any more dumb ideas, you know where to find me.

THOR: Until we meet again.

JACK: Yeah. Hey, listen! Stop by anytime. In fact, I'll take ya fishin'. I'd
love to do that. There's this lake in Minnesota where the bass grow (Sam and
Teal'C look bored) THAT big --- (Bright light)

Episode 65 - "Nemesis"


Our favorite Archeologist is laying in an infirmary bed.

DANNY: Hey.

JACK: Hey. How ya doin'? (Jack's looking yummy in a black leather jacket!)

DANNY: Good. (Raises eyebrows) Did ya get your hair cut?

JACK: Yeah, Why?

DANNY: No reason.

JACK: Can I see your scar?

DANNY: No!

JACK: Uh, Fraiser says it'll be about a week before you, you know, get out
of here.

DANNY: You know, it's funny after all we've been thru these last --- few
years, it's my appendix that lays me out. But, it's not gonna be a week, I
mean, I feel fine now.

JACK: Wanna go fishin'?

DANNY: Actually, I wouldn't uh ---(Tries to get up, hurts) Well, maybe ---
(Thru pained voice) No, you know, I think, I think I will stay here for 2 or
3 --- 3 days.

JACK: Bye.

JACK: (Walking into Sam's lab, she's welding something) (Over welding noise)
CARTER!!!!

SAM: (Taking off her hat) Sir?! Hi! How's Daniel? (Fixing her hair)

JACK: AW, he's gonna be fine. What are you doing?

SAM: Uh, I'm getting ready to do a detailed analysis of the decay rate of
naquata within the reactor. It's really quite amazing, I mean unlike
plutonium, it actually has ---

JACK: Ah! I'm on vacation!

SAM: (Smiles) Yes, Sir.

JACK: So are you.

SAM: I know. It's not that I'm happy that Daniel's in excruciating pain or
anything like that, but I've been looking forward to an opportunity like
this for quite some time---

JACK: You know, maybe it's just me, but I always thought when one GOT a
chance to leave, one actually LEFT. (Sam Smiles) Daniel's recuperating,
Teal'C's off visiting his kid somewhere, personally, I have a date with a
lake in Minnesota where the bass grow that big. (Opens his arms wide)

SAM: (Sarcastically) Really?!

JACK: Oh, Yes! What I'm describing here, Carter, involves a very special
element.

SAM: This IS fun to me, Sir.

JACK: Well, if --- playing with your little reactor sounds better than
exploring the lakes and natural beauty of Northern Minnesota, there's not
much I can do.

SAM: Was that an invitation --- Sir?

JACK: Nothing wrong with that is there? (She shakes her head, then looks
down to his chest, then back up to his eyes) Couple of Co-workers, friends
if you will, fishing. It'd be fun.

SAM: (Smiles) Wow! (Blushing?) I appreciate the offer, Sir, really! Sounds
great! But I should ---

JACK: (Answers her very quickly) No sweat! (She turns back to him) See you
in a week. And by all means, have fun! (He leaves) (Sam smiles)

SAM: (In the hallway) Colonel! (He turns) Uh --- (Looses her smile) (He
cocks his head , and raises his eyebrows) Have a good time!

JACK: Land of sky-blue waters, loofas, (Sam smiles real pretty here) ya sure
ya betcha' , snookums, mosquitoes --- (He disappears) (She looks surprised,
and pushes the alarm) (Thor's ship is shown with a light going up to it) (He
appears in the ship) Home of the loons --- (He looks around, then out the
window to the Earth below) Thor?! Hello? (Walking thru the ship) (He heard
scratching noise, and sees a light. Then he sees the spiders) What the hell?
Damn. (They are approaching him)

OPENING CREDITS!!!!

JACK: (The replicators are still approaching him. One appears in back of
him, and touches him) AH! (Another one crawls over his chest) (Swatting it
away) AH! DAMN! (He watches the bugs crawl away from him.)

SAM: I'm pretty sure it was the Asguard transportation technology.

GH: For Jack's sake, let's hope you're right.

SAM: Depends on what they want this time, Sir.

GH: True! Send a message thru the stargate to Teal'C.

SAM: Yes, Sir.

GH: (into phone) This is General Hammond. Get me Major Davis at the
pentagon.

JACK: (After shot of a bug eating thru the wall) Thor?

THOR: Greeting, O'Neill. Turn right, then enter the door at the end of the
corridor. (Jack enters room, and finds Thor in a bed) O'Neill.

JACK: Thor? You all right?

THOR: (Slowly, weakly) I am dying.

JACK: What happened?

THOR: It is , as you humans say, a long story.

JACK: Does this have anything to do with those --- bugs?

THOR: I could not transport you directly into this room. The --- bugs --- as
you call them, are attracted to the high-energy output of the transporter.

JACK: What are they?

THOR: They are the enemy of the Asguard.

JACK: THIS would be the enemy worse than the Goa'Uld you told me about?

THOR: I am weak. The information you will need is contained within the
stones. (Jack looks over to the console.) Forgive me!

JACK: For what? (Thor closes his eyes) Thor?

Jack walks over to the console, and raises his eyebrows in confusion. He
picks up the stone, and moves it. Thor Appears on a screen.

THOR: (Over screen) Colonel Jack O'Neill, I have made these recordings for
you for in the event that I am dead, or unable to pass on the necessary
information. (Jack looks confused) Under my command, The Biliskner was
called into battle against an enemy we have named "Replicators." During the
battle, this ship became infested by the technology. The replicators
accessed the computer which contained information about your planet, (Jack
begins to realize what's going on.) and plotted a course here. The crew was
transported off the ship. I destroyed the outbound transported technology to
prevent the replicators from escaping, (He has a weary smile, like Uh-Oh!)
and remained in the hopes of stopping The Biliskner from reaching earth.
(Jack blinks, with a sad look on his face) If you are watching this
recording, I have failed. Then , I have also likely doomed YOU to certain
death.

Teal'C's running up the stairs.

GH: Teal'C, thank you for returning.

TEAL'C: For what matter of urgency have I been summoned, General Hammond?

SAM: I think I witnessed Colonel O'Neill being transported out the base by
the Asguard.

TEAL'C: (Sitting down) For what purpose?

GH: We're not sure yet.

A light appears behind Sam. It's a Hologram of Jack.

JACK: Hello? Hello? Testing, Testing! Is this thing on?!

SAM: (Having turned) Colonel?

JACK: (Who was facing away toward the gate.) (Turning toward her voice)
Carter?!

SAM: Sir? What going on?!

JACK: Well, I need a Spaz-12, a BF-8, 10 pounds of PBX, and a USAS at the
base of the star gate in Oh, 5 minutes. (Smiles)

SAM: That's a lot of explosives, Sir.

GH: May I ask why?

JACK: Well, basically, Thor's ship has been taken over by a bunch of nasty
techno-bugs. (He appears to shutter)

TEAL'C: Were the Asguard not able to defeat them?

JACK: Guess not. (Smiles)

SAM: So, Sir, are you saying that these bugs are technologically advanced?

JACK: Yeah. Apparently, they plan to land the ship and infest earth. Thor
says this --- would not be a good thing.

GH: What are you going to do?

JACK: Destroy the ship.

SAM: Where's Thor?

JACK (Looking back) Oh, he's here! He's --- just not feeling too well at the
moment.

SAM: We'll be ready in 10 minutes, Sir --- (Jack bows his head) Thor can
transport us up there to help you.

JACK : Thank you, Carter, but that's not gonna happen. Thor's out cold. Bugs
got him pretty good, but he did leave some instructions on how to run the
toys up here.

SAM: So, can you transport us up?

JACK: I can --- But --- I'm --- not going to.

TEAL'C: What is your reasoning, O'Neill?

JACK: Anybody who comes up --- is NOT getting down.

SAM: Well, Sir, if you can't get off the ship ---

JACK: Yeah. I know. (Looks away) Look, my time's almost up here. Have the
stuff ready in 10 minutes --- wish me luck! (Smiles)

SAM: Colonel ---

JACK : Major!, it's an order, and it's final. (Sam just looks at him)

GH: Good luck, Jack.

JACK: Thank you , Sir. (Looks away, and disappears) (Sam has a sad look on
her face, and she looks at Teal'C, who looks at GH)

GH: (To Teal'C) Teal'C, See that the ordinance is in place. Major, to your
knowledge, if Colonel O'Neill is unsuccessful, could that ship be destroyed
by a surface to air strike?

SAM: (Shakes her head) Sir, the ship has sophisticated cloaking devices.
We've been looking for it in orbit since Colonel O'Neill disappeared.
Nothing.

GH: Well, if we can't see it, we can't target it. (Sam shakes her head)

THOR: (Over recorder, the little guy is still passed out) The molecular
transportation device is pre programmed to target the area directly in front
of your earth-based stargate.
(Jack rewinds the tape, or is it fast forward?) Enter these symbols on the
console in front of you. 30 seconds after entering the code, the targeted
material will be transported to the indicated cargo hold. (Jack raises his
eyebrows) (He looks @ his watch, then leaves) Remember, the transportation
device emits energy strong enough, to attract the replicators.

Jack runs thru the halls. He looks mighty yummy in the leather jacket, white
tee shirt, and cacky pants. He enters the room, and see Sam and Teal'C with
the equipment.

JACK: Dammit! I gave you people a direct order!!!!

SAM: (Handing him a gun) General Hammond over ruled you, Sir. We may have a
way off the ship.

JACK: (After hearing the bugs) God! Grab what ya can. Let's go!

They grab the stuff, and run out the room, followed by the bugs. Pretty cool
thermal shot from the bug's POV of the doors shutting. A few bugs get thru .
Teal'C tries ZATing them. Nothing. He shoots it 2 more times, it's still
there, no disappearance! <G> The same bug jumps at the trio, and Jack shoots
it with his gun, making it scatter into a hundred pieces. He shoots the
other two with his rifle. During this time, Teal'C, realizing that the ZATs
don't work, grabs a gun, and cocks it. Within seconds, the bugs come back
together. LEGO blocks aren't that easy to put together! <g> The thermo scan
appears again. Teal'C shoots the bug, breaking it apart again.

JACK: Let's move! (Teal'C picks up the case, and looks back.) (They arrive
back at THOR's chambers) Hey buddy. How ya feelin'? You uh, remember Carter?
Teal'C?

THOR: Why did you bring them?

JACK: (Raises his eyebrows, and looks at his companions) Anyone?

TEAL'C: We believe we could be of assistance.

THOR: Now, you will ALL die.

SAM: Actually, we don't think so. Sir, there's a shuttle prepping on the
launch pad. We can transmit the coordinates to NASA, they can be here in a
matter of hours. We also brought space suits in case an E.V.A. is required.

THOR: This pod can generate an anti-gravity field, making it easier to move.

SAM: Does this ship have an airlock?

THOR: Yes.

JACK: So, we plant some PBX, jump ship, then blow it.

THOR: What is PBX?

TEAL'C: An explosive.

JACK: You just have to tell us the best places to plant it.

THOR: All Asguard ships are equipped with internal dampening fields that
activate in the event of an explosion.

JACK: Well, how exactly do you expect us to destroy the ship?

THOR: If I knew a fast, simple , method, I would have destroyed the ship
myself before endangering your lives.

JACK: Of course you would have.

THOR: The technical specifications of the Bilitzner Were contained within
the recordings I made for you.

JACK: (Sam looks at him with a raised eyebrow) OH! (Looking down on her) I
haven't had time to watch all the stones. (Teal'C has a cute look on his
face)

SAM: What?

JACK: Stick those on there. (She moves a stone, and Thor, and a drawing of
the ship appears)

THOR: --- Is powered by 4 neutrine ion generators . In your Earth units of
measurements, each unit ---

JACK: (After semi-confused looks from both Sam and Teal'C) Yeah, my eyes
glossed over right about there.

SAM: Guess I better go thru all these recordings. (Thor Continues)

Back to base.

The elevator's going down to the 27th, 28th floors. OH! If it isn't Mr.
Yummy! Uh --- I mean Major Davis! <g>

GH: Welcome back, Major.

DAVIS: General, I wish it wasn't always under such --- unusual
circumstances. Any further word on the situation?

GH: No. We haven't been able to make radio contact with SG-1.

DAVIS: Well, the Asguard cloaking device is also blocking radio signals.

GH: I see you've done your homework, Major.

DAVIS: General, All I do all day long is read up on the Star gate program.

THOR"S Ship

THOR: They were discovered on an isolated planet in our home galaxy some
time ago. The creators were NOT present.

TEAL'C: Most likely destroyed by their own creation.

THOR: The replicators were brought aboard the ship for study before the
danger could be fully comprehended.

JACK: We do that all the time. We kind of expected more from you guys.

THOR: Overconfidence in our technology has been our undoing. The entities
learned from the very means that were employed to stop them. They have
become a plague on our galaxy that is annialating everything in it's path.

JACK: Why haven't these little buggers landed the ship already?

THOR: Their odds of survival in a new environment depend on numbers. They
are currently feeding off this ship, and replicating.

SAM: Are you saying they are actually EATING this ship?

THOR: Ingesting the alloys, yes. (Sam looks at Jack, Teal'C has the look.
<Stoic face>) They will continue until they risk compromising the integrity
of the hull. Then, they will land in search of more raw materials.

SAM: How intelligent are they?

THOR: Their capacity for learning is extremely high. Each entity is capable
of individual behavior, yet, they all act with a common purpose ---

JACK: What's that?

THOR: Self replication.

TEAL'C: And there does not appear to be a way to stop them.

SAM: Hang on! Thor, you said that they wouldn't risk compromising the
integrity of the hull?

THOR: Correct.

SAM: Can this ship withstand an uncontrolled re-entry into the atmosphere?

THOR: No. The heat from the friction would cause the ship to burn up.

JACK: (Surprised look) Wait a minute! Are you trying to tell me that with
all this advanced intergalactic technology, this ship can't take a little
HEAT?

THOR: In order to reflect the subspace field of the gener ---

JACK: So --- no.

THOR: Yes. (Jack looks at Sam.)

SAM: Then all we have to do is crash the ship into the atmosphere.

THOR: You will have to regain control of the navigational computer.

JACK: (He and Sam look at each other) Sounds like A plan.

THOR: THAT can only be done from the bridge.

SAM: There was a map in the recordings. Can we direct them from here as they
go?

THOR: Yes. (Sam looks at Jack who raises his eyebrows)

JACK: OK! (Jack and Teal'C are walking thru the halls. Scratching sounds are
heard.) Hear that?

TEAL'C: They are in the walls, O'Neill.

SAM: (Over radio) Colonel, can you hear me?

JACK: We hear ya.

SAM: You wanna go down that hall. (They turn to their right, then head down
the hall way.) (Back to the room with Thor) Why are some areas flashing?

THOR: They indicate the quadrants of the ship that the replicators have
disabled.

SAM: Ho - How do I zoom in?

THOR: Top left symbol.

SAM: (Over radio, scene is back to the men) You wanna go thru that door on
your left. (Jack opens the door, see nothing, but can hear the bugs.)
(Uh-Oh! They see some bugs chowing down on the doorway.) (Back to the room
with Thor) Why can't I see any bugs on the screen?

THOR: The first thing the replicators do once aboard an Asguard ship, is
disable the sensors capable of detecting them.

SAM: But I can still see Colonel O'Neill and Teal'C.

THOR: They are being detected by the thermal sensors, which cannot see the
replicators. (Thor gasps, and breathes raspily)

SAM: Are you OK?

THOR: I can not use the ship's automated medical system. If the replicators
have tampered with it, It could kill me.

SAM: Well, we brought medical supplies, and I have field medical training.

THOR: You cannot help me.

JACK: (After opening a door) Are we there yet?

SAM: The door up ahead on your left leads to the bridge.

TEAL'C: (At the door to the bridge.) It sounds as if there are replicators
inside.

JACK: Watch your self. (He opens the door, the bugs are everywhere! All over
the walls, there's no controls left. The bridge IS where they steer the
ship, right? Captain Kirk would NOT like having to drive this ship! OK! I'll
stop now.) (Jack and Teal'C both have stunned looks on their faces) Forget
that! (He closes the door to the bridge.) (Coming in with Teal'C carrying
the other supplies) OK! New plan!

SAM: (Looking inside box) Nothing's been damaged.

JACK: Good.

SAM: Sir --- Thor's not doing well. That pod could put him in a deep stasis
that would preserve his life.

JACK: Then do it.

SAM: He won't let me.

JACK: (Walks over to Thor) Hey! I hear you're not being a particularly
cooperative patient.

THOR: As long as I am conscious, I still may be of some assistance.

JACK: Yeah, however, if you're DEAD ---

THOR: As I have said, if you do succeed in destroying this ship, we will ALL
die.

JACK: And, as Carter has said, we may have a way off this ship.

SAM: Wait a minute, that's it! Thor, you said there are dampening fields
INSIDE the ship that prevent explosions. What about OUTSIDE the ship?

THOR: There are shields around the ship, but they would not protect against
a weapon already inside the force field.

SAM: OK! Now there was a specific engine in the informational recordings. It
controls Re-Entry.

THOR: The deceleration drive, yes.

SAM: We brought an explosive device that's enhanced with naquata. Would that
be enough to destroy the deceleration drive? (Jack's just looking on,
confused)

THOR: This plan COULD work!

JACK: Plan? (Sam looks at him) What plan?

SAM: Sir, the bugs are gonna land the ship themselves eventually. The BF-8
might just be enough firepower to blow the deceleration drives.

JACK: Might?

SAM: IF we blow it at the right time, we could alter the re-entry pass. The
ship would then accelerate out of control, then burn up in Earth's
Atmosphere.

TEAL'C (Jack's rubbing his head like he has a headache!<g>) What needs to be
done, then, is to place this explosive outside this vessel.

SAM: Someone's gonna have to go out there.

JACK: Of course they are. (Sarcastically?)

Back to base, Danny is slowly walking up the stairs.

GH: What are you doing down here, Doctor Jackson?

DANNY: I've just been informed, Sir. I was wondering if there was anything I
could do to help.

DAVIS: General, we're going to DEFCON 3. The Russians have gone on alert as
a response. The moment the Asguard ship attempts to land, the President has
decided to let the rest of the world know what we know.

GH: And then?

DAVIS: We hit it with everything we've got.

DANNY: Uh, SG-1 is on that ship.

DAVIS: I have as much confidence in SG-1 as you, Doctor Jackson, but they
left over an hour ago. We've had no communication since, and we have NO idea
what kind of a time frame we have here.

GH: Let's give them a reasonable chance, Major.

DAVIS: Yes, Sir. I'll try to define REASONABLE to the Pentagon. (Smiles and
nods at Danny before leaving.)

The Defcon 3 alert dings, and sirens go off.

SAM: Bugs haven't over run the part of the ship where the airlock is yet.

JACK: Let's do it!

SAM: Each tank has 6 hours of oxygen. Who ever goes should have plenty of
time.

TEAL'C : I will go. (Sam smiles at him)

JACK: I was gonna do it.

SAM: There IS a radiation concern, Sir.

TEAL'C: My symbiote protects me from exposure to radiation for long periods
of time.

JACK: OK! You go. (Teal'C raises his eyebrow, and nods his head)

SAM: (Jack pulls Teal'C, who's wearing the space suit around a corner.) It
looks like the top button opens the inner door, the middle button
pressurizes the air lock, and the bottom one opens the outer door.

JACK: Uh, Roger that. (Lowering the shield over Teal'C's face, he can see
himself in the glass.) You can hear me?

TEAL'C: (Over radio) Indeed.

JACK: You might want to think about --- hanging on tight out there. (Teal'C
nods his head . Is he scared? I know I would be!) (Softly) Let's do it. (He
opens the door, and pushes touches Teal'C's oxygen tank as he steps thru the
door.) (He closes the door, and Teal'C turns toward him) Say something.

TEAL'C: One small step for Jaffa ---

JACK: Very nice. (Teal'C nods his head) (Shot goes to something falling on
the suit, making a sizzling sound. This is unknown to Jack and Teal'C.
Uh-Oh!) (Jack opens the outer door, and Teal'C gives him a thumbs up. And
floats out the door. ) Scraping in Scrabbling is heard.) Oh, Crap! Teal'C,
How's it going?

TEAL'C: (Over radio) I am returning.

JACK: (Nervously) I don't suppose you could step on it could you?

TEAL'C: I am moving as quickly as possible, O'Neill. (The outer door closes.
Jack tries to open it back up on the console, no luck.)

JACK: Carter?

SAM: Yes, Sir! I'm working on it! (Teal'C is at the outer door with a
surprised, and scare look on his face) (He presses the bottom button.)

TEAL'C: The door will not open!

JACK: Yeah, Hang on! (He looks up to see the bugs coming thru the roof of
the hold) Oh, God! (UH-OH! The stuff that came from the ceiling earlier, it
ate thru the space suit, releasing the oxygen) His tank just blew!!!!

TEAL'C: (Out of breath) O'Neill! (I guess it's time for an emergency session
of Kel'No' Reem!)

JACK: CARTER!!!!!

SAM: Sir, I'm trying to get the transported to beam him inside, but it's not
working! The transporter array on that side of the ship must have been
knocked out by the bugs. We can still do this! But --- Teal'C's gonna have
to push off.

JACK: WHAT?!

SAM: The other transported array's can pick him up, but only if he's far
enough AWAY from the ship.

JACK: (Seeing Teal'C out of air) Teal'C, we're gonna try to beam you
aboard --- But you have to push off from the ship first. You read? YOU HAVE
TO PUSH OFF!!!!!

Teal'C pushes off from the ship. Shot goes to his POV, seeing Jack inside,
then shot goes to Jack's POV, seeing Teal'C floating in space.

SAM: He's taking too long. Isn't there someway to re-aim the transporter
arrays? (Thor struggles to breath) Damn! (Shot goes to Teal'C floating
again)

JACK: Carter?!

SAM: I'm trying! (You see the red representing Teal'C passing over the while
representing the array) Got it!

JACK: (Teal'C appears behind him) Teal'C! Teal'C?! (Teal'C appears to be
passed out, it's the Kel'No'Reem. ) Come on! (He get's the mask off, and lif
ts Teal'C's head.) (Thor looks bad, this pod is beeping. Sam closes the
cover) (Back to Teal'C and Jack. Jack's shaking him) (Frantically) Come on,
come on! BREATH!!!! (Teal'C opens his eyes) Oh, yeah! THAT'S following
orders! (lightly slaps Teal'C face) (Offering his hands) Can you move?

TEAL'C: I can O'Neill.

JACK: Come on.

GH: (To Technician Sergeant Davis) Still no communication of any kind?

TS DAVIS: No, Sir. And NORAD's still reporting no sign of the Alien ship.

GH: Doctor Jackson, are you OK?

DANNY: I'll be fine.

GH: Well, why don't you go back to the infirmary? I promise, I will notify
you with any news.

DANNY: Sir, I know there no reason for me to be here, but I just --- I feel
like I SHOULD be here. That's not totally true, actually I feel like I
should be up there with them.

GH: Now you know how I feel most of the time.

SAM: (Teal'C breathing hard) According to the schematics, that was the only
one left untouched by the bugs. You gonna be OK?

TEAL'C : I will be fine.

JACK: (About Thor) What happened?

SAM: He was dying. I had to put him into stasis.

JACK: So ---?

SAM: So, we wait, and blow the bomb at the right time.

JACK: Which is --- when?

SAM: (Helping Teal'C out of his space suit) When we start to enter the
atmosphere. Too early, and theoretically re-entry could be aborted by the
bugs. We wait too long into the descent, the bomb could burn off before we
could detonate it.

JACK: Think you could fix that beam down thing?

SAM: Not without THOR's help , Sir.

JACK: Better contact Hammond. Let him know what to expect. (He tries the
stones. They aren't working!) All right, this thing's not working!

TEAL'C: (Hearing chattering sounds overhead) Thor was correct! We are going
to die!

JACK: Ow, come on, Teal'C. Lighten up! Been in these situations before.

SAM: No, Sir. We haven't.

JACK: (Looking at her, surprised) We haven't?

TEAL'C: The vessel is beginning it's descent.

SAM: I have an idea, Sir.

Major Davis (M. Davis) And GH are running down the steps.

TS DAVIS: Sir, NORAD's reporting an unidentifiable flying object entering
the atmosphere over the Pacific.

DANNY: They've disabled the ship's cloaking device.

TECH: Object's on a controlled entry.

TS DAVIS: Projected landing on the West coast of the US , Sir.

M. DAVIS: It could also be a sign they've already lost the battle.

GH: (Into phone) This is General Hammond. At this time, I recommend going to
DEFCON 2. Deploy all available assets to intercept the Alien ship.

DANNY: General?

GH: I'm sorry, Dr. Jackson. But if that ship makes it thru the atmosphere,
we have no choice but to assume SG-1 failed. We MUST destroy it but what
ever means necessary.

JACK: All right, Carter. Let's do it!

SAM: Here we go!

M. DAVIS: The Russians have also spotted the incoming object, and are
inquiring.

GH: The Joint Chiefs will respond. (A light is seen, and the gate
disappears!) (Everyone is stunned)

(It appears behind Teal'C on the ship.)

M. DAVIS: I'll have to call you back!

DANNY: (Still stunned) There gonna use it to escape!

M. DAVIS: Like you did from the Apophis Mother Ship! It could work!

DANNY: It WILL work! The--- They'll gate to another planet, then home.

GH: But you had a DHD, they don't.

M. DAVIS: Even disconnected, they should have enough power to dial out once.

GH: (Nods) This is Hammond. I want the Beta gate unpacked from storage
immediately. Yes, you HEARD me! I want it unpacked, and ready for use as
soon as humanly possible.

JACK: (After NICE , yummy, shot of Teal'C's muscles uh --- I mean TEAl'C
dialing the gate manually) <g> Where are we going?

TEAL'C: P3X-234.

JACK: I hear it's nice there this time of year. (More of Teal'C and his
muscles, then a shot goes to a bug eating thru the wall) We got bugs. (Shot
goes to bugs taking over the room, and the room that Sam and Thor are in.)
(As Teal'C is dialing, Jack's constantly shooting.)

TEAL'C: O'Neill! (The bugs are coming over the wall behind the gate. The
door opens, more bugs!)

TS DAVIS (Come to think of it, this looks like Tok'Ra Spice Davis, huh? NO!
Tech. Sarg. Davis! LOL!) Bandit is STILL on controlled entry, present
heading, 196.

TEAL'C: (After putting in the earth symbol) GET DOWN!!!!! (Jack ducks just
in time!)

JACK: (Still shooting bugs) LET'S GO! CARTER!!!!! (She appears with Thor)
Can we blow this thing yet?!

SAM: (Putting on her glasses, and sending THOR thru) Not yet! (More
shooting)

JACK: CARTER?!?!?!?!?! (More shooting)

SAM: NOT YET!!!!! (About a minute of shooting)

JACK: CARTER?!?!?!?!?!

Ship is shown burning up in atmosphere!

SAM: NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Jack presses the button.)

M. DAVIS: I understand that, Captain! What I want to know is what do you
see? Do you have a visual? 10th squadron airborne on intercept course.

TS DAVIS: The target has changed heading. It's not on controlled entry
vector. It's breaking up.

M. DAVIS: We have confirmation! A fireball 400 miles off the coast of
California heading into the Pacific Ocean. (Shot of fire ball) Navel
recovery teams will be out there to deal with an wreckage. (Looks at Danny)
I'm sure you were right, Doctor Jackson. The point of commandeering the
Stargate had to be an escape.

DANNY: I just hope they made it out in time.

Shot of the wreckage in the ocean. A replicator appears on top of the
wreckage, with TO BE CONTINUED!

Episode 64 - "Crystal Skull"



Story By: Michael Greenburg and Jarrad Paul
Teleplay By: Brad Wright
Directed By: Brad Turner

Starring:
Richard Dean Anderson as Colonel Jack O'Neill
Michael Shanks as Doctor Daniel Jackson
Amanda Tapping as Major Samantha Carter
Christopher Judge as Teal'c
Don S Davis as General George Hammond
Teryl Rothery as Doctor Janet Fraiser
Jan Rubes as Nick Ballard



We see an enormous pyramid and the MALP travels along a walkway towards it.
Meanwhile, Jack, Sam, Daniel and Teal'c are in the control room watching the
video playback.

CARTER: This is well over a thousand metres high.

O'NEILL: And as pyramids go, that's.... big?

TEAL'C: I know of no goa'uld structure of that magnitude.

DANIEL: Definitely Mayan. This is a major find; I have to see this.

O'NEILL: Any signs of life there?

CARTER: There is a breathable atmosphere Sir but no complex life signs.

The MALP goes into the pyramid and we see an enormous cavern with a walkway
leading to something in the middle.

CARTER: This *is* a major find. *I* have to see this.

O'NEILL: You too?

CARTER: Well look at these readings. Sir, these are leptons.

O'NEILL: Get out.

CARTER: Well that means something inside this pyramid is slowing down
neutrinos. Normally neutrinos pass right through ordinary matter no matter
how dense. I mean something like 500 million billion just passed through you

O'NEILL: No matter how dense?

CARTER: A material that slows neutrinos could change everything we know
about physics, the formation of the universe.

DANIEL: Wait a minute Sam. Get, ah get closer.

CARTER: I can't, the MALP's too big to cross the span.

DANIEL: Then zoom in. On that.

TEAL'C: It appears to be a human skull.

DANIEL: No that's a crystal skull.

CARTER: How do you know?

DANIEL: Because it's exactly like the one found in 1971 in Belize. By my
grandfather.

Opening Titles

Briefing room

Daniel is standing by a projection screen showing pictures of various
crystal skulls. Jack, Sam, Janet and Hammond are sat around the table.

DANIEL: I could name at least a dozen different crystal skulls from various
parts of the world but the skull that Nick discovered in Belize was unique.

O'NEILL: Nick?

DANIEL: Ah yeah. The, ah, great explorer. The not so great grandfather
Nicholas Ballard. He preferred being called Nick, even when I was a kid. It
was. anyway ah the point is that no one can explain how the skull Nick
discovered was carved, from a single piece of crystal, against the grain,
given the technology of the day. He claimed that it possessed a certain
power.

HAMMOND: What kind of power?

DANIEL: That if one were to look into the eyes of the skull, one would be
teleported to see aliens.

TEAL'C: Your grandfather saw these aliens.

DANIEL: So he insisted to the entire academic community.

FRAISER: I take it his claim didn't go over very well?

DANIEL: As you might imagine, no. He tried for years under controlled
conditions to make the skull teleport him again but he never could.

O'NEILL: Doesn't mean he wasn't right.

CARTER: The academic community didn't believe your theory that the pyramids
were landing sites for alien space ships either

O'NEILL: We have to see this.

HAMMOND: I'll authorise a standard recon mission.

FRAISER: Colonel, I can only guess at the effect this type of radiation may
have on the human body. I recommend limited exposure, ten, fifteen minutes
at most.

DANIEL: Wait a minute, that's not enough time. I mean there has to be some
sort of radiation suit or.

O'NEILL: Hey! If you'd been listening you know that nintendos pass through
everything.

DANIEL: I heard.

O'NEILL: Everything.

P7X 377

SG1 walks into the pyramid.

O'NEILL: Whoa!

CARTER: Muon radiation is increasing.

O'NEILL: Unhealthy?

CARTER: I don't think so Sir, not if it stays at these levels.

TEAL'C: Whoever the builders are, they would appear to be a formidable race.

DANIEL: You could fit every pyramid on earth inside this thing and still
have room to spare.

O'NEILL: Could you imagine heating this place?

They walk across a walkway towards the crystal skull.

O'NEILL: Major. Start the clock.

Daniel looks at the skull on a pedestal.

DANIEL: It's identical to the one Nick discovered in Belize.

TEAL'C: Can you determine if it is a means of transport, as your grandfather
believed?

DANIEL: Ahh, I can't be sure, there's no writings of any kind on the
pedestal.

CARTER: This cavern must act like some sort of containment bottle.

DANIEL: It's no wonder Nick was so fascinated by.

CARTER: If I can get a sample of the substance that's slowing down these
neutrinos, we can change the face of physics.

DANIEL: It's like a living thing, it's.

O'NEILL: Wonder how far down that is?

The skull starts to glow.

TEAL'C: Daniel Jackson!

CARTER: Sir, radiation is spiking. It's at 300%.

O'NEILL: What?

CARTER: 400.

O'NEILL: All right, that's it. We're out of here. Daniel?

The skull emits a light that seems to envelop Daniel. Teal'c zats it and
Daniel is thrown backwards while the light disappears.

O'NEILL: Where'd he go?

Teal'c walks to the pedestal and appears to walk through Daniel's body lying
on the ground.

TEAL'C: He seemed to disappear.

CARTER: Sir these readings are off the scale now. If we don't leave here
soon, we're.

Carter collapses and O'Neill catches her and turns to run back to the
Stargate.

O'NEILL: Teal'c, get outta there!

The SGC

TECH: Incoming traveller Sir. It's SG1.

HAMMOND: Open the iris.

The Gateroom

Sam, Jack and Teal'c collapse on the ramp.

HAMMOND: Get a medical team in here. Where's Doctor Jackson?

They don't answer.


The Infirmary

FRAISER: He's coming to Sir. (about Jack.)

O'NEILL: Carter? Daniel?

FRAISER: She's still unconscious. Teal'c is better off than both of you, his
symbiote is helping him. It was close Colonel, if you hadn't left when you
did..

O'NEILL: Hot.

FRAISER: Yes, I know. We're trying to keep your temperature down. The muon
radiation affected your hypothalamus. Essentially your internal thermostat
went haywire. Your respiration, heartbeat and your temperature have been
fluctuating wildly.

O'NEILL: No kidding.

HAMMOND: As for Doctor Jackson, Colonel, he never returned with you.

TEAL'C: He is no longer there General Hammond. The skull enveloped him in an
energy field. I fired my zatnikatel but it was too late. He seemed to
disappear.

HAMMOND: What?


P7X 377

Daniel is lying on the pedestal seemingly unconscious.


The SGC

Control Room

HAMMOND: Pan the camera left again. Do the infra red sensors detect any sign
of Doctor Jackson?

TECH: No Sir.

Teal'c walks in.

HAMMOND: You should be in the infirmary. (To Teal'c)

TEAL'C: I am well again General Hammond.

HAMMOND: Not according to Doctor Fraiser.

TEAL'C: Nicholas Ballard believed the crystal skull to be a teleportation
device. Recovering the skull may help us to determine the location to which
he was teleported.

HAMMOND: The MALP telemetry suggests the radiation levels are still too
high.

TEAL'C: My symbiote provides me with a greater tolerance against the effects
of radiation.

HAMMOND: And if that thing zaps you to wherever it sent Doctor Jackson?

TEAL'C: Then I will have succeeded in locating him.


P7X 377

Teal'c runs across the bridge to collect the crystal skull.

DANIEL: Teal'c! What happened? Where is everybody? (Teal'c ignores him and
runs back across the bridge through Daniel.) You just ran right through me.
TEAL'C! (Teal'c stops and looks back) What the hell is going on?


The SGC

Teal'c steps back through the Gate and Daniel just makes it through.

DANIEL: Hey!

HAMMOND: Well done Teal'c.

TEAL'C: Regrettably there was no sign of Daniel Jackson.

DANIEL: So I take it nobody else can see me either?

HAMMOND: Doctor Rothman is awaiting the artefact in Lab 3c. (To Siler)

SILER: Yes Sir.

TEAL'C: Major Carter will also want to study it.

HAMMOND: As soon as she's fully recovered.

DANIEL: Recovered from what? What happened?


Infirmary

Teal'c and Daniel walk in. They go to Sam's bed.

FRAISER: She's gonna be fine Teal'c. They're exposure wasn't long enough to
cause any permanent damage.

O'NEILL: DOC!

FRAISER: You can protest all you want Colonel but it will be a while till
you get your strength back. So relax. Ah. Doctors orders.

Teal'c has also walked over from Sam's bed.

O'NEILL: Napoleonic power monger. News?

TEAL'C: Daniel Jackson was nowhere in the vicinity of the pyramid.

O'NEILL: What the hell happened to him?

TEAL'C: I do not believe the skull is a weapon O'Neill.

DANIEL: Well you're right about that, it's not a weapon.

TEAL'C: It is indeed a teleportation device. I believe the artefact itself .

DANIEL: No something else happened.

TEAL'C: Doctor Rothman is now studying it.

O'NEILL: Rothman couldn't figure out an ashtray. The guy we need working on
that skull is Daniel.

TEAL'C: It is he whom we endeaver to locate, O'Neill.

O'NEILL: Look I'm sick of laying around. Help me up.

TEAL'C: Doctor Fraiser believes you are not strong enough to undertake such
a mission. (Jack tries to get up and hits the floor like a sack of
potatoes.) Doctor Fraiser is usually correct in such matters. (He picks up
Jack and drops him on the bed.)

O'NEILL: Thank you. (muffled)

TEAL'C: You are welcome O'Neill.


Lab 3c

DANIEL: Okay, you can do this Robert, I know you can. Focus on the Mayan
legends. The lost pyramids of Belize. The Ballard skull. That's where the
answer is.

ROTHMAN: Well, it's a crystal skull.

HAMMOND: We knew that Doctor.

ROTHMAN: It's almost identical to the Nicholas Ballard skull in the
Smithsonian.

DANIEL: He doesn't know it was found on P7X 377.

ROTHMAN: Actually the craftmanship is very impressive. It's probably made in
Germany, early 1900's. What I don't understand is what it has to do with
Daniel being missing.

TEAL'C: We believe it to be a teleportation device.

ROTHMAN: Are you serious?

DANIEL: That's good Robert. Be sceptical.

HAMMOND: We were hoping your archaeological expertise could help provide
insight into where he may have been sent.

ROTHMAN: It's a skull.

DANIEL: Not that sceptical.

TEAL'C: I myself witnessed the artefact create a tremendous field of energy
that engulfed Daniel Jackson.

ROTHMAN: It's made of crystal not plutonium. I don't see how this could..

HAMMOND: Humour me Doctor. I want a full report within 12 hours.

ROTHMAN: Yes Sir, I was just.

TEAL'C: Do not look directly into its eyes.

ROTHMAN: Okay.

DANIEL: Don't let me down Robert.

ROTHMAN: Teleportation device? I. What do you think? (To Siler)

SILER: I think you're gonna get fired.

Teal'c's quarters.

Teal'c is meditating.

DANIEL: Teal'c. In case I don't ever get the chance to say this. If you hadn
't have come back for me, I might have been stuck in that place forever.
Thank you.

Teal'c opens his eyes.

TEAL'C: Is there someone present?

DANIEL: Yes. It's me. It's Daniel. I'm right here. I'm right here. Just don'
t walk...through me. It's very disconcerting. You sensed I was in the room,
you just can't see or hear me which is a little frustrating as you may
imagine.


Lab 3c

Rothman is looking into the eyes of the skull.

CARTER: STOP! That's exactly what Daniel was doing when he was absorbed by
the energy field.

DANIEL: That's what I've been trying to tell him.

ROTHMAN: I know that. I was trying to prove something.

FRAISER: Prove what?

DANIEL: That the skull didn't do this.

CARTER: You don't think the skull is responsible for what happened to
Daniel, do you?

ROTHMAN: I'm still here.

CARTER: There was intense muon radiation at the time the energy..

ROTHMAN: There's no residual radiation..

CARTER: Look I saw what that thing is capable of.

ROTHMAN: Hey. I wish it was a teleportation device. I could use it to go
find Daniel. He's my friend too you know. I don't think that's what we've
got here. I think what we've got here is a paperwight. I'm sorry, that's my
opinion.

CARTER: It's all right, I'll take over from here. There may be properties in
the crystalline structure that are invisible to the naked eye. We should run
some diagnostic tests.

Janet goes to get Sam a drink of water.

DANIEL: Wait a minute, I'm not hungry or thirsty. Why not?

CARTER: Thank you. (To Janet)

DANIEL: Because I'm dead.

Sam suddenly stops drinking and looks up.

ROTHMAN: What?

CARTER: Did anybody else feel that?

FRAISER: What?

DANIEL: What if I'm a ghost?

CARTER: I just got a shiver.

FRAISER: You're still feeling the after effects of the radiation.

DANIEL: No I think that was me.


The Gateroom

Daniel is sitting on some equipment in the background while Jack, Sam,
Janet, Teal'c and Hammond watch the Gate.

TECH: Chevron 4 encoded.

CARTER: Sir, we've subjected the skull to every piece of diagnostic
equipment we have.

TECH: Chevron 5 encoded.

HAMMOND: What have you found out?

CARTER: Nothing.

O'NEILL: We could take another look at that planet Sir.

FRAISER: I'd strongly recommend against it. We're still getting periodic
readings from the MALP. The radiation levels have dropped slightly but they'
re still elevated.

TECH: Chevron 6 encoded.

HAMMOND: We're preparing a UAV for a long-range search around the pyramid. I
don't see any point in risking another SG team unless that search turns up
something.

TECH: Chevron 7 locked.

HAMMOND: Launch when ready Sergeant.

TECH: Launching UAV in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 mark.

CARTER: I can't believe I'm gonna suggest this but what about Daniel's
grandfather?

O'NEILL/DANIEL: Nick?

CARTER: He claimed that the skull teleported him somewhere. Maybe he's the
only person who actually knows where Daniel is?

FRAISER: I'm not so sure Major. I've already taken the liberty of looking
him up.

DANIEL: Oh you didn't.

FRAISER: His current address is a psychiatric institution in Oregon.

O'NEILL: Psychiatric?

FRAISER: Apparently his failure to prove the crystal skull was more than
just a curiosity caused a severe mental breakdown from which he's never
recovered. Nick checked himself in.

CARTER: Why wouldn't Daniel have told us that?

DANIEL: Oh yes, by the way, he's insane.

FRAISER: Daniel was a regular visitor there up until 4 years ago, right
before he joined the Stargate program.

DANIEL: Oh please, he kicked me out, we had a huge fight.

FRAISER: Apparently Nick still talks about him all the time.

DANIEL: He doesn't want anything to do with me.

FRAISER: The doctor I spoke to says any friends of Doctor Jackson's are
welcome.

DANIEL: What?

CARTER: We don't have much else to go on.

HAMMOND: Find out what you can but I needn't remind you that the details of
this matter will have to remain classified. That means you won't be able to
tell him what happened to Doctor Jackson or where the skull was found.


Institution

NURSE: Sorry for the wait. Is there anything I can do for you?

TEAL'C: You may take us to Nicholas Ballard immediately.

O'NEILL: He's just a little anxious to see ol' Nick.

NURSE: Oh, are you close?

TEAL'C/DANIEL: No.

CARTER/O'NEILL: Yes.

TEAL'C: Yes, extremely.

NURSE: Well, I'll just check and see if he's ready for you.

DANIEL: What am I waiting for?

NURSE: Colonel O'Neill and his party are here. (To Doctor and Nick)

DOCTOR: Friends of Daniel I told you about are here just outside. Would you
like to see them now?

NICK: I miss him.

DANIEL: Hi Nick, long time no see.

DOCTOR: Would you show them in please? (To Nurse)

DANIEL: Nick, I need your help. Friends of mine want to ask you about the
skull you found in Belize. Tell them everything, trust them.

Jack walks in.

DOCTOR: Nick, this is Colonel Jack O'Neill. He's a friend of Daniel's.

O'NEILL: Doctor would you mind if we.

NICK: Nick.

O'NEILL: Jack. (He holds out his hand as Nick just looks at it.) O'Neill.
Colonel.

NICK: Daniel followed my footsteps.

O'NEILL: You must be very proud.

NICK: He made a fool of himself.

DANIEL: Oh here we go.

NICK: He staked his entire academic career on this belief that that the
great pyramids of Egypt were made by aliens.

O'NEILL: Yes, well that's.

NICK: He was more insane than I was. I told him to forget all that nonsense.

DANIEL: It wasn't nonsense, I was right.

NICK: He lost his apartment, his research grant. He hasn't published a paper
in two years. Now where is he? Where is he now?

CARTER: In a way that's what this is all about. We wanted to hear exactly
what happened to you back in 71 when you first found the skull.

NICK: Nothing happened. There were no aliens.

DANIEL: Trust them Nick.

NICK: No one believed me.

O'NEILL: Daniel believed you.

DANIEL: Oh no. No no don't.

NICK: He didn't. He wanted to, he did listen. In the end he did not believe
in my theories of the skull just as I did not believe his theories of the
pyramids and the aliens.

DANIEL: I guess we were both right.

O'NEILL: Nick, can you tell us what happened when you found that skull?

NICK: Why?

O'NEILL: Because we found another skull. Identical to the one you found in
Belize.

NICK: Show me.

CARTER: It's in a high security facility at the moment. But if you tell us
about your experiences..

NICK: Then take me there.

O'NEILL: We can't do that. It's classified.

DANIEL: You have to.

NICK: If you don't then I won't tell you anything. It is up to you.


The SGC

Hammond's Office

Daniel is standing by the star map.

HAMMOND: Colonel, there is no greater secret in this nation than the
Stargate.

O'NEILL: So we keep him away from Level 28.

HAMMOND: A civilian who's spent the last 20 years of his life in a
psychiatric institution?

O'NEILL: Exactly, who's gonna believe him if he says anything?

HAMMOND: Colonel you walk a fine line.

O'NEILL: Thank you Sir.

Jack leaves and the phone rings.

HAMMOND: Hammond.

DANIEL: General, I know you can't hear me but thank you.

HAMMOND: Absolutely, put her through. Kayla, sweetheart, this is grandpa.
Isn't this past your bedtime? You lost another tooth? Well you put it under
your pilla tonight. I bet your big sister Tessa wishes she lost a tooth. I'd
love to come and see you in your school play tomorrow night sweetheart. Well
a very close friend of mine is lost and he needs my help. Yes he's a very
close friend. I hope so too.


Lab 3c

Nick walks in and reaches for the skull.

SILER: I don't think you should touch that sir.

CARTER: It's all right Sergeant thank you. Nick, this is Doctor Robert
Rothman.

ROTHMAN: It's a pleasure to meet you..

NICK: It's exactly the same as the one I found in Belize. Where did you find
it?

O'NEILL: We can't tell you that

DANIEL: You're gonna have to tell him eventually Jack.

NICK: The skull stood on a stone pedestal. You have been there haven't you?

CARTER: You mean Belize?

NICK: No, no, no, no. That was the ruins of the temple where I found the
skull, all gone, collapsed. I am talking about a cavern.

TEAL'C: You know the location of this cavern?

NICK: Nowhere on this earth. It was so enormous that the light of my torch
never reached the bottom.

DANIEL: Yes, but how did you get there?

NICK: I don't know how I got there, a field of energy surrounded me and
suddenly I was simply there. And then they came.

CARTER: They?

NICK: The giants.

CARTER: Giants?

NICK: The giant aliens. They rose up as if they were made of mist; they flew
around me like spectres.

DANIEL: Now you know why no one believed him.

NICK: They spoke, "Oo ya wolin wolin we tayil."

ROTHMAN: That's Mayan.

ROTHMAN/DANIEL: The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

DANIEL: But what does it mean?

NICK: I was afraid to answer, I just closed my eyes and suddenly I found
myself back again under the temple in Belize. The ground was shaking as in
an earthquake and I just grabbed the skull and climbed out and everything
collapsed.

O'NEILL: Wow, that's erm. giants?

CARTER: So you were sent to this cavern and back again without ever knowing
where it was? And the ruins where you found the skull?

NICK: I spent years trying to find it again but it was as if the temple
never existed.

CARTER: So I guess you couldn't take us there either?

NICK: Can you imagine what it feels like to go on the most incredible
journey of your life and have no one believe you.

O'NEILL: Ahh Teal'c, you wanna escort Nick down to the VIP room?

TEAL'C: Nicholas Ballard, would you come with me please.

O'NEILL: So tell you anything? (To Rothman)

ROTHMAN: Maybe, I mean, no.

O'NEILL: Work on it.

Corridor

Sam and Jack are walking down a corridor, Daniel is following.

CARTER: He described the cavern perfectly Sir, he had to have been there.

O'NEILL: Ahh giants?

DANIEL: Yes that's weird, I admit.

CARTER: Somebody built that place.

O'NEILL: Doesn't help us.

DANIEL: But if he really was transported to P7X 377 maybe the skull was
trying to send me somewhere and something interrupted the process.

Sam enters the elevator and holds it open while she talks to Jack.

CARTER: You get the feeling Daniel's still around?

DANIEL: We have to go back there.

O'NEILL: Kinda.

CARTER: I guess it's cos we miss him.

DANIEL: And we have to talk to those giant aliens.

O'NEILL: Or radiation sickness?

CARTER: Goodnight Sir. (Smiling)

The elevator shuts and Jack walks of in the other direction.

DANIEL: What? That's it? Whatever happened to working through the night? I'd
do it for you.

VIP Room

TEAL'C: There will be a guard posted outside your door should you require
assistance.

NICK: When you see Daniel would you tell him. Never mind. It's something I
should tell him myself.

TEAL'C: Very well.

Teal'c leaves and Nick sits down. Daniel is in the room.

NICK: I am sorry.

DANIEL: For what?

NICK: For not adopting you when your parents died.

DANIEL: You were travelling all over the world.

NICK: That wasn't your fault.

DANIEL: I was 8 years old, how could it be my fault?

NICK: I am sorry for allowing my obsession to drive me into madness. Would
you forgive me?

DANIEL: You can see me?

NICK: Yes, Daniel. I can see you.

DANIEL: Why didn't you say something?

NICK: You're not real so it doesn't mean anything.

DANIEL: No I'm real. I'm real. You're not hallucinating.

NICK: Hallucinations always say that.

DANIEL: Not this time Nick. The skull, the skull did this to me. I'm
trapped. I'm in another dimension, I'm out of phase, something. Look all I
know is I need your help. If you don't help me I don't know how I'm gonna
get home.

NICK: So what do you want me to do?


Briefing room

SF: Sirs, Mr Ballard insisted on seeing both of you immediately.

NICK: Forgive me, he insisted. Daniel is here.

HAMMOND: Here?

DANIEL: Repeat what I'm saying. I'm standing right beside you.

NICK: Standing right beside me.

O'NEILL: He's lost a few pounds.

DANIEL: Jack, don't be an ass.

NICK: Jack, don't be an ass.

O'NEILL: Daniel?

DANIEL: Yes. We have to go back to the planet and we have to let the skull
finish what it started.

NICK: We must go back to the planet.

HAMMOND: Planet?

O'NEILL: Not a word Sir, I swear.

NICK: Daniel told me all about the Stargate. We must replace the skull on
the pedestal so that the giant aliens will come. Something must have
interrupted the process.

O'NEILL: Teal's fired a zat. That's all I could imagine it would be Sir.

DANIEL: That's it. That's what interrupted the process. We have to, we have
to let it happen. We have to, we have to trust it.

HAMMOND: Why didn't you say something sooner?

NICK: I thought I was hearing voices. It wouldn't have been for the first
time.

FRAISER: Forgive me, but why are you the only person who can see him?

NICK: Perhaps because I went through the same experience.

DANIEL: Tell General Hammond if we go back right now he might be able to see
his granddaughters school play after all.

NICK: General Hammond, if you let us go now you might be able to see your
granddaughters play.

HAMMOND: I was alone in my office when Kayla phoned. (looking around as if
expecting to see DANIEL) Doctor Jackson, are you absolutely certain you and
SG1 can safely return to the planet?

DANIEL: Say yes.

NICK: Yes.

O'NEILL: It's good enough for me Sir.


Corridor

Jack, Daniel and Nick are walking to the Gateroom.

O'NEILL: So it wasn't the skull alone that did this, it's its connection to
the cavern?

DANIEL: Yes, I think the skull is just the icon..

NICK: Yes.

O'NEILL: Daniel said you should come along to make it work?

DANIEL: Wait, I never said that. You're taking advantage of me.

NICK: Yes.

They walk into the Gateroom where Sam and Teal'c are already waiting.

The Gate activates.

NICK: So this is what you have been doing these past few years?

DANIEL: Exploring planets.

HAMMOND: SG 1 you have a go. Maintain radio contact. (over tannoy)

Sam and Jack walk up the ramp.

NICK: Then, behind that there's another world. You must tell me everything.

DANIEL: As soon as we get back, I promise.

TEAL'C: After you Nicholas Ballard.

P7X 377

NICK: It's just as I remembered it. This is where they live.

They walk across the bridge.

Nick puts the skull on the pedestal.

NICK: Now we must wait for the giant aliens.

O'NEILL: That just has a nice ring to it.

O'NEILL: General Hammond, we're in position. (over radio)

HAMMOND: Understood Colonel, proceed.

Daniel looks into the eyes of the skull and the energy appears.

CARTER: Sir, radiation is climbing again.

NICK: This is incredible.

O'NEILL: Daniel said to let it happen.

The energy envelops all of the team.

CARTER: Daniel!

DANIEL: Sam! It worked.

TEAL'C: O'Neill? Major Carter?

O'NEILL: Carter?

CARTER: It appears that we're out of phase like Daniel but Teal'c isn't.

DANIEL: Why?

O'NEILL: You're asking me?

TEAL'C: General Hammond. I was not teleported with the others. (over radio)

HAMMOND: Return to base immediately.

The pyramid starts to shake and a giant alien rises up out of the mist.

O'NEILL: Holy smoke bullwinkle! Hello! What's your name?

QUETLZELCOATL: Oo ya wolin wolin we tayil.

O'NEILL: Daniel?

DANIEL: The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

O'NEILL: I know what it's saying. Why's it saying that?

DANIEL: It didn't affect Teal'c. Why?

CARTER: Because he's jaffa.

DANIEL: He's carrying a symbiote. The goa'uld. We are enemies of the goa'
uld.

QUETLZELCOATL: Then you are welcome here.

O'NEILL: Keep talking.

DANIEL: We're travellers, we come in search of friendship. We'd like to
exchange our knowledge and culture.

QUETLZELCOATL: We accept your proposition. (pointing at NICK) You may
remain.

NICK: Me?

O'NEILL: Him?

QUETLZELCOATL: This is not the first time you have journeyed here.

NICK: You remember.

DANIEL: There are others among our people who would gladly return.

NICK: No Daniel. Let me.

DANIEL: Nick,

NICK: This was my life's work. I've been hoping for another chance at this
for 20 years. Please.

DANIEL: You just came back into my life,

NICK: I'll be back again. Please.

QUETLZELCOATL: Look again into the eyes of the skull.

O'NEILL: Well, Nick, take notes.

NICK: I will.

DANIEL: You have to tell me everything.

NICK: I promise. Daniel, I am proud of you.

DANIEL: Goodbye, Grandpa.

Scene: Building with a Stargate. Children appear to be excavating. We close
in and see Daniel is also there.

DANIEL: Thank you. That's perfect Zaren. Just like that.

The chevrons start to unlock. The Gate is a browny pink colour.

DANIEL: It's okay. It's just my friends returning.

The Gate opens and Jack and Teal'c step through.

O'NEILL: Hello children.

Daniel comes down a stepladder.

O'NEILL: Daniel? No child labour laws here on Orban?

DANIEL: No, these are Urrone. They're like apprentices to the adults.
They're everywhere. It's just how they do things. Look at this.

He passes something to Jack.

DANIEL: Chalchiutlicue. The Aztec goddess of water. They don't even know
what they've got here. Who knows what we're gonna uncover. That is if
General Hammond said yes. He did say..

O'NEILL: He said yes.

KALAN: Colonel O'Neill. You are most punctual. Both Merrin and I are eager
to participate in this exchange between our worlds.

O'NEILL: Major Carter is eager as well. She's really looking forward to it.
So's Teal'c.

TEAL'C: I will share my knowledge of the Goa'uld freely.

O'NEILL: Teal'c's eager on the inside.

KALAN: Then if you are ready to leave..

O'NEILL: Kalan, I was under the impression we were bringing back one of your
naqahdah reactors.

KALAN: This is the device.

O'NEILL: That little thing? Okay. Daniel, have fun. I know you will. Teal'c,
make friends. As always.

Teal'c goes to the DHD and starts dialling. The Gate engages.

O'NEILL: Folks. To Earth.

Scene: SGC corridor. Hammond and Carter are walking to the Gateroom.

CARTER: They're one of the most impressive societies we've come across Sir.
They've managed to accomplish in a few decades what it took humans over a
century to achieve.

HAMMOND: Sounds like these people might make good allies.

CARTER: I think so. They're not quite up to the Goa'uld level of technology
yet, but given a few years..

Jack, Merrin and Kalan step through the Gate and come down the ramp. Jack
continues to stand by Sam while the Orbanians make a greeting.

KALAN: Thank you for this exchange General Hammond. I am sure it will be
fruitful for both of our worlds. Major Carter; please allow Merrin to
present you with this Naqahdah reactor. You may study it for the duration of
our exchange.

CARTER: Thank you.

HAMMOND: If you will allow, I would like to offer a tour.

KALAN: The exchange has been made. We will return to Orban now.

O'NEILL: You just got here.

CARTER: You can't leave. Someone needs to teach me how to use this thing.

KALAN: Please explain what you mean by this.

CARTER: Teaching? Uh, explaining how the reactor functions- its components,
its construction.

KALAN: I do not have this knowledge.

MERRIN: I will. teach you.

Jack and Sam look surprised.

OPENING CREDITS

Scene: Elevator. Sam, Jack and Hammond are in the elevator with Merrin.

HAMMOND: Major Carter will show you the lab. But before you get started, I'd
like you to visit our infirmary.

CARTER: It's standard procedure, nothing to be afraid of.

MERRIN: You must screen newcomers for potential pathogens. Of course.

O'NEILL: So Merrin, I understand you're a reactor expert?

MERRIN: Yes.

O'NEILL: How old are you?

MERRIN: I'm eleven. How old are you?

O'NEILL: So Merrin, I understand you're a reactor expert.

Scene: Orban Gateroom

Daniel is uncovering a mosaic around the DHD that has been covered by stone.

KALAN: This is my son Tomin. He is also Urrone. Teal'c, you will please tell
him of the Goa'uld.

TOMIN: You are most generous to offer your knowledge, Teal'c.

DANIEL: Kalan, there was an apprentice here earlier- Zaren. Do you know
where she went?

KALAN: Zaren is not here. It was past her time to experience her Averium.

DANIEL: Averium. Is that like a graduation?

KALAN: That is an approximate definition. Dr Jackson, you expressed an
interest in viewing the city. It is advantageous to see the Pyramid of Suns
in daylight.

DANIEL: Yes. Absolutely.

KALAN: Teal'c, you will please remain here with Tomin.

Kalan and Daniel walk off. Teal'c turns to find Tomin looking up at him.

TEAL'C: What is your purpose?

TOMIN: I am making an observation of your physical characteristics. Dr
Jackson tells us you were once a warrior in the service of the Goa'uld.

TEAL'C: That is correct.

TOMIN: I think I understand now why the Goa'uld are so feared.

Scene: Infirmary

Janet is taking some of Merrin's blood.

FRAISER: Hurts a little bit, huh? You are being very brave.

Jack walks in and stands by Sam.

O'NEILL: How's are little rocket scientist doing?

FRAISER: We are almost done, Colonel.

MERRIN: I am not a rocket scientist.

CARTER: I think what Colonel O'Neill means is that you're very smart.

MERRIN: You find my intelligence level unusual?

O'NEILL: No. There are lots of intelligent people around here. Just not as
young as you.

CARTER: You mean you were not always as smart as you are now?

FRAISER: No. We spent a long time in school to get to this point.

MERRIN: Please explain what school is.

CARTER: Uh. school is a place where you go to learn. A teacher gives you
information and you take different classes to learn different subjects.

MERRIN: So this is how you and Dr Fraiser became scientists?

CARTER: Mm-hm.

MERRIN: You aren't a scientist?

O'NEILL: Oh no.

MERRIN: Then you are not as smart as Major Carter and Dr Fraiser?

O'NEILL: Well it depends on what you mean by. Okay, no. I'm not. But while
they were stuck in school, I was out doing other things, like, having fun.
You do know what fun is, don't you?

Merrin shakes her head.

O'NEILL: Okay, fun is.what you do to make yourself happy. Like music, games.
It's whatever you do when you're not learning to be a rocket scientist.

MERRIN: I'm here to teach Major Carter about the reactor.

CARTER: Sounds like fun to me!

O'NEILL: Whatever. Go ahead, knock yourself out

CARTER: Come on, Merrin. I'll show you the lab.

Scene: Orban Gateroom

Teal'c and Tomin are sitting on the steps to the Gate.

TOMIN: But you have found hosts for other Goa'uld in the past as First Prime
to the Goa'uld leader.

TEAL'C: I have vowed to battle the Goa'uld and to free my people. If I allow
the symbiote that I carry to be implanted, I would be perpetuating all that
I oppose.

TOMIN: What happens if you do not find a host for this Goa'uld?

TEAL'C: It will die.

TOMIN: If the Goa'uld dies, then you will die as well?

Teal'c nods.

TEAL'C: That would be unfortunate.

Scene: Outside the Orban gateroom

DANIEL: I should have known by the murals but the construction of your
pyramid confirms it.

KALAN: Dr Jackson, I do not understand.

DANIEL: Teotihuacan. It was a city in pre-Columbian South America, even
bigger than ancient Rome. Which wouldn't mean anything to you, but it is
significant.

KALAN: But you said we were Aztec.

DANIEL: No, these people predated the Aztecs.

Daniel and Kalan come into the Gateroom.

DANIEL: Okay, look. These pictures form a narrative. Whatever's under this
platform may tell us exactly how your people came to be on Orban.

KALAN: You will explain this to Tomin.

DANIEL: Okay. Teotihuacan flourished for centuries as a religious and
economic mecca before suffering a great upheaval in 750 AD, I think that
your people could be the descendants of that civilisation.

TOMIN: Do you believe the arrival of the Goa'uld caused Teotihuacan's
downfall?

DANIEL: Yes!

Scene: Carter's lab

Sam is holding some handheld gizmo.

CARTER: Okay, that's the converter, right?

MERRIN: The heating element.

CARTER: What? W.. When did we talk about the heating element?

MERRIN: In the very beginning when I described the fodinaire.

CARTER: Oh man. It can't be this hard.

MERRIN: I will begin again.

CARTER: No, wait. Let's try this a different way. How about we break
everything down into its most basic components? Let's start with the reactor
casing. What's it made of?

MERRIN: The fodinaire attaches..

CARTER: No. I'm sorry Merrin. We'll get to that in a minute. Right now, I
just need to know what materials make up the reactor casing. It'll have to
block radiation so we'll make it lead lined. See? This is easy. And the
casing material would have to measure..

Janet walks in.

FRAISER: Major? If you don't mind, I'd like to see Merrin in the infirmary
again. Just a couple of follow up tests.

CARTER: Okay.

FRAISER: Okey-doke.

They leave.

Scene: Briefing room

Sam, Jack, Hammond and Janet are standing around a monitor.

FRAISER: Merrin's bloodwork shows trace levels of silicon, trinium and some
other element I have never seen before. Now I think it's a mineral but it
definitely not found on Earth.

O'NEILL: Okay, even I know that's bad.

FRAISER: Well I found out what's responsible.

She clicks a button and a picture comes up on the screen.

O'NEILL: What?

CARTER: A nanite.

HAMMOND: She's got nanites in her blood?

FRAISER: Yes. However, it still didn't explain Merrin's abnormally high
neuropeptide levels. So I did a computer enhanced MRI. You ready for this
one?

She clicks again.

FRAISER: There's millions of them. They've infested that little girl's
brain.

Scene: Infirmary

HAMMOND: I put the base on a threat com bravo. Doctor, get blood samples
from everyone. I want to know how far those nanites have spread.

MERRIN: My nanoprocessors are harmless to you.

O'NEILL: Merrin, we've run into these little beggars before and they're
anything but harmless.

CARTER: We encountered a civilisation in which the Goa'uld used a similar
method, nanocytes, to accelerate the age of a population. Colonel O'Neill
was adversely affected.

O'NEILL: Oy!

MERRIN: These nanites were created by Orbanians in an Orbanian laboratory 49
years ago. All of my people have them. It is the way we acquire knowledge.

FRAISER: Wait a minute. So you're saying, Merrin, that all Orbanians brains
look like this?

MERRIN: Each citizen receives a nanite after every averium. Urrone children
are given millions more nanites at birth because we are required to learn
vast amounts of information very quickly. This must be done in infancy
before neural pathways are established.

CARTER: So. these nanites act as additional synapses?

MERRIN: Yes. But that is all they do. They do not age us and cannot leave
the brain.

FRAISER: But, Merrin, we found one of these nanites in your blood.

MERRIN: Well if a nanite malfunctions, it is programmed to disconnect from
the brain and be absorbed into the blood stream. Those are inactive and
incapable of harming others. I am sorry if I have alarmed you and I
understand if you wish me to return to Orban.

CARTER: Oh, I don't think that would be necessary. Do you, General?

HAMMOND: If you think that's it's safe, Major Carter, then you can continue
to work. But I still want those blood samples, Doctor.

FRAISER: Yes Sir.

Merrin leaves with Sam.

Scene: Orban Gateroom

Daniel has uncovered what looks like a snake on the mosaic surrounding the
DHD. Kalan is looking at it. Tomin walks in.

TOMIN: Father? I wish to undergo the Averium immediately.

KALAN: Tomin, it is six months until you turn 12.

TOMIN: I am concerned by what Teal'c has told me of these Goa'uld. If they
learn of our existence, they will destroy us. The studies I have made to
learn about defence technologies must now be put to use, so that Orban can
begin preparations.

KALAN: I will notify the elders. You have learned well, my son. I am proud.

Scene: Carter's lab

Merrin is looking at a plant.

MERRIN: You study botany as well, Major?

CARTER: Oh no. Those are just decoration.

MERRIN: That does not look like a Naqahdah reactor core.

CARTER: Yeah, well. I had to improvise, seeing as we're only using a
microscopic amount of Naqahdah. How about you sketch it for me?

MERRIN: What?

CARTER: Draw me your reactor core. Give me an idea of what it looks like.

MERRIN: I don't draw.

CARTER: You don't draw? Everyone draws.

MERRIN: No. It is not something I am required to do. I've never had to draw
before.

CARTER: Oh. Well, it's, uh. it's pretty easy. Here. See?

MERRIN: What is that?

CARTER: It's a picture of me.

Merrin looks down. It's a stick figure with a bit of hair.

CARTER: Well, I know it doesn't exactly look like me, but it's just a basic
representation. See, that's all I need from you- just a basic representation
of the reactor's core.

MERRIN: All right. But this paper is not large enough.

CARTER: Okay. How's this?

MERRIN: That will do.

Merrin starts to draw.

Scene: Orban Gateroom

Teal'c walks in to Daniel who is chipping away at some stone.

TEAL'C: Kel mel Daniel Jackson.

DANIEL: Look at this. This proves the Goa'uld were here some time in the
last few hundred years. Now we just need to figure out why they left.

Daniel shows Teal'c the underside of the slab showing a jaffa head piece.

KALAN: Dr Jackson, I brought the tools you asked. Teal'c, you will please
tell Solen methods to fight the Goa'uld: which weapons and strategies have
been effective in their defeat, also anything in your experience as First
Prime to Apophis that would be of assistance.

SOLEN: It is an honour to accept your knowledge Teal'c.

TEAL'C: Perhaps it would be better for Tomin to return.

KALAN: He is unavailable. Solen will learn now.

TEAL'C: Tomin is already familiar with the subject.

KALAN: He has given us his knowledge. Please, you will talk to Solen.

DANIEL: Well Teal'c has a point, if they've already established a rapport.

KALAN: I have told you it is impossible for Tomin to be here. He has gone
through the Averium. Please, Teal'c. Begin.

TEAL'C: I would like to see Tomin immediately.

Scene: Carter's lab.

Jack walks in.

O'NEILL: Merrin. What are you doing?! Get down.

MERRIN: Colonel O'Neill, I need 15 sheets of paper at least 48cm by 23cm.

O'NEILL: Well that's fine. Why don't you just ask.. Excuse me.

Sam is asleep on the desk.

O'NEILL: Major.. CARTER!

CARTER: Oh. Oh, uh.. Merrin, I am so sorry. Wow! These are amazing.

MERRIN: I cannot represent the reactor core on a three-dimensional plane, so
I depicted several layers of the reactor's interior. With additional
supplies, I can finish the remaining layers.

CARTER: Cross sections. Of course! If I scan these into the computer I can
come up with a three dimensional representation of the reactor's interior.

O'NEILL: All right! Will you two give it a rest? Both of you. You've been at
this for 24 hours. You need rest.

MERRIN: I do not need to. Urrone children require little sleep.

CARTER: Okay, now I am jealous.

O'NEILL: All right, Carter, you sleep. Young lady, if not sleep. Fun.

MERRIN: No, I need 15 sheets of paper at least 43cm by 28cm.

O'NEILL: 15?

MERRIN: Colonel O'Neill? I require some of these pencils as well.

Scene: Orban building

Daniel and Teal'c are in a room with Tomin who is sitting on a bed.

TEAL'C: Do you not recognise me? It is Teal'c. Kalan!

Kalan walks in.

TEAL'C: Explain this Averium.

KALAN: It is the ceremony in which an Urrone's nanites are removed and then
distributed. Each adult and each non-Urrone child then receives an injection
containing one nanite, which becomes part of his or her synaptic network,
adding to those nanites received from previous Averiums.

DANIEL: So when you say he gave you his knowledge, you meant it literally?

KALAN: It was a beautiful ceremony. Now you have seen. We must resume our
work Dr Jackson.

TEAL'C: What will become of Tomin?

KALAN: He stays here with the other past Urrone.

DANIEL: That's it, you. you. Don't you play with him?

KALAN: What is play?

DANIEL: Interacting with him, teaching him new things.

KALAN: These children cannot be taught.

DANIEL: Have you ever tried?

KALAN: Oh yes, but past Urrone children cannot receive new nanites. The
brain rejects them.

DANIEL: Well, have you ever tried teaching them without nanites?

KALAN: What do you mean?

Daniel and Teal'c look at each other.

KALAN: There is no need for concern. These children are well cared for.

DANIEL: Kalan, this is your son.

KALAN: My son is here now.

He points at his head.

Scene: Briefing room, SGC

Janet, Teal'c, Jack, Sam and Hammond are there.

TEAL'C: Kalan says that Tomin is not brain damaged, but clearly he was not
himself.

FRAISER: Well if the nanites have taken over the learning process and
prevented the brain from developing a normal amount of synapses, then
there's a good chance their removal would make these children infant like.

O'NEILL: What's the difference if they keep 'em locked up in a room?

HAMMOND: So once Merrin returns to Orban, she will undergo this Averium and
her nanites will be removed?

FRAISER: Yes.

O'NEILL: Then maybe she won't return to Orban.

HAMMOND: Colonel..

O'NEILL: General, she's going back to get her brain sucked out! And I dare
anybody to phrase it more delicately.

CARTER: Sir, I agree with you. But we can't just keep Merrin here can we.

O'NEILL: Why not? We'd be saving her life.

FRAISER: Okay, why don't we simply just try asking Kalan not to harvest
Merrin's nanites?

TEAL'C: I do not believe the Orbanians will understand the reason for your
request. They do not see this as wrong.

O'NEILL: Well then we need to make them understand.

HAMMOND: Teal'c, return to Orban. Colonel, before we risk an interplanetary
incident, I'd like to try the diplomatic route first.

Jack looks disgusted.

Scene: Orban

KALAN: how can you make this demand?

DANIEL: Kalan, no one is demanding anything.

TEAL'C: We do not believe the Averium is in Merrin's best interests.

KALAN: It is most certainly in her best interests- for her and for her
people.

DANIEL: Okay. You see, in our culture, we don't believe in doing anything
that results in harming a child.

KALAN: We do not harm our children, Dr Jackson. You have seen Tomin, you
have seen how well he is cared for!

DANIEL: Okay, I think we can work this out. We just need to sit down and
discuss some alternatives.

KALAN: There are no alternatives! Merrin must undergo the Averium. You will
return her immediately!

Scene: Sam's lab

MERRIN: The Averium is a great honour.

O'NEILL: Merrin, I know that's what the adults have told you. But when they
take out these.. nanite things. they also take out everything that makes
you - you.

MERRIN: But my people will have my knowledge.

O'NEILL: But you won't.

MERRIN: I do not understand why you are so concerned.

CARTER: Merrin, we just don't think you realise what you'll be giving up by
going through the Averium.

MERRIN: It is a great honour to be chosen.

O'NEILL: Will you please stop saying that?

Hammond and Teal'c approach the door.

HAMMOND: Colonel? A word please?

Jack walks over to them.

O'NEILL: Teal'c.

TEAL'C: Kalan refused our request. Daniel Jackson remained behind to try and
alter his position.

O'NEILL: Good. That'll give us a chance to make Merrin understand.

HAMMOND: She's already refused amnesty, Colonel.

O'NEILL: General, it's obvious the little girl has been brainwashed. We
can't send her back without at least trying.

HAMMOND: Teal'c, do you forsee any danger to Dr Jackson if her stays on
Orban.

TEAL'C: I do not believe Daniel Jackson will be harmed.

HAMMOND: I'll give it 48 hours.

Hammond and Teal'c walk off. Jack goes back into the lab.

O'NEILL: So Merrin, looks like you'll be spending a little more time with
us.

MERRIN: Please return me to Orban.

O'NEILL: You do understand we're trying to help, right?

MERRIN: I don't need your help.

Scene: Orban Gateroom

Kalan is trying to dial out.

DANIEL: Kalan, you can't do this.

KALAN: If you will not return Merrin to us, I will retrieve her myself.

DANIEL: If you don't transmit a special code they will close the iris and
you won't get through. You will die.

SOLEN: Please explain this iris.

DANIEL: I will explain it, but only to you. (meaning Kalan)

KALAN: If you will not explain it, then transmit the code.

DANIEL: I'm sorry.

KALAN: You claim to love knowledge, yet when you find something you don't
like, you demand that we change to please you!

DANIEL: No, it is not to please me! You are an incredibly advanced society,
why can't you find a better way to educate your people?

KALAN: There is no better way than the Averium!

DANIEL: Even if that means giving up your son?

KALAN: It was the happiest day of my life when Tomin was selected to be
Urrone. I knew even before he was born that he would make an incredible
contribution to our society.

DANIEL: And you never once thought otherwise?

KALAN: Not once. And neither did Tomin.

DANIEL: And what if Merrin does?

KALAN: Merrin is one of only a few Urrone children and the only one to have
spent ten years learning the Naqahdah technology. Without her Averium, the
people who have been awaiting her knowledge to continue their research,
they will have to wait 12 years for another Urrone to learn.

DANIEL: Well, I didn't know that.

KALAN: Merrin does. She does not question her duty. It is you, Dr Jackson,
who are misguided to think you can convince her otherwise.

Scene: Sam's lab

CARTER: Come on! Why, why, why aren't you working?

Merrin comes in accompanied by an SF.

SF: She insisted on seeing you Major.

CARTER: It's all right, thanks. Hey.

MERRIN: Major Carter? I need you assistance. You must tell General Hammond
to let me return to Orban.

Sam looks away.

MERRIN: I thought as a scientist, you would understand.

CARTER: Merrin, you're only eleven. Half the interesting things in my life
didn't happen till I turned 15.

MERRIN: What kind of interesting things?

CARTER: Oh..just, uh.. stuff.

MERRIN: If it were possible, I would give you one of my nanites, and then
you would know it's all right.

CARTER: Thank you, but I don't think that would make a difference.

MERRIN: You are finished?

CARTER: Almost. Once I ran a computer simulation based on your sketches, I
thought I could adapt the design to my materials. But the current is being
diverted before it reaches the core. I think the shielding might be
diverting power.

MERRIN: Major Carter..

CARTER: Unless.. Hey, hey, hey! The trinium is absorbing the current.

MERRIN: Correct. All.

CARTER: Wait! Sorry, let me. Okay, by reversing the polarity..

She flicks a switch and it lights up.

CARTER: That's it! We're in business!

MERRIN: Why wouldn't you let me give you the solution?

CARTER: What would have been the fun in that?

MERRIN: Fun?

CARTER: Well yeah. Figuring something out on my own, especially if it's been
eluding me a while. It's far more satisfying than having the answer given to
me.

MERRIN: But not as efficient.

Scene: Hammond's Office.

Knock at the door.

HAMMOND: Come in.

Jack walks in.

O'NEILL: You.

Daniel and Kalan are sat in front of Hammond's desk.

O'NEILL: You wanted to see me Sir?

HAMMOND: Kalan has come to escort Merrin back to Orban. Before you say
anything, know that I have already granted his request.

DANIEL: I don't like it either Jack, you don't know the effect this is
having on the Orbanians.

O'NEILL: What about the effect it's having on Merrin?

KALAN: Your Dr Jackson has come to realise Merrin's importance to her
people.

O'NEILL: Her importance as a vegetable?

HAMMOND: Colonel!

KALAN: If you would try to understand.

O'NEILL: No! I won't. The way you treat your children is absurd. You don't
deserve them.

HAMMOND: Colonel O'Neill!

O'NEILL: Request permission to be excused, Sir!

He's out of the door before Hammond can reply.

Scene: Carter's lab.

CARTER: Okay, clear.

Merrin and Sam put protective glasses on.

A wave radiates outwards from the reactor and Sam and Merrin step back.
Alarms go off.

CARTER: We did it! Let me record these readings.

Jack walks in.

O'NEILL: What the heck was that?

MERRIN: The reactor worked.

The phone rings. Sam goes to answer it.

CARTER: Carter.

Jack makes signals that he and Merrin are going. Sam nods.

CARTER: Yes, sir. We're fine. Yeah, it was just the reactor. No sir, just an
initial energy pulse. There's no threat to the base.

Scene: SGC corridor.

Jack and Merrin are walking followed by the SF.

O'NEILL: It's all right Airman, I've got it.

The SF walks off as Jack and Merrin reach the elevator. The alarms also
stop.

Jack swipes his card and they get into the elevator. Jack presses the number
1.

MERRIN: You are taking me to the surface?

O'NEILL: Yes. Look, you came here to learn, right? There's something I have
to show you, but I have to take you off the base for it.

MERRIN: You do not have permission. Do you?

O'NEILL: No. I don't.

Scene: Hammond's Office.

He's on the phone.

HAMMOND: In the future, Major, before you activate any device that includes,
the word reactor in it, I would appreciate it if you'd notify me.

CARTER: Of course Sir, it won't happen again.

HAMMOND: Good. Now I'd like you to bring Merrin to my office.

CARTER: Oh, Colonel O'Neill just left with her.

HAMMOND: Thank you Major.

He cuts the call off and begins a new one.

HAMMOND: This is Hammond. If Colonel O'Neill attempts to leave, you're
ordered to.. How long ago? I see.

He puts the phone down.

Scene: School

Jack and Merrin walk up to the school.

MERRIN: This is a school?

O'NEILL: It's part of it. We call this the playground.

MERRIN: What is it for?

The bell rings.

O'NEILL: Well just watch.

The kids come running out.

O'NEILL: Bambinas! Pizzeria! Mamma Mia!

BOY: Colonel Jack, what are you doing here?

O'NEILL: Playing hooky. Kids, I want you to meet my friend. Her name's
Merrin. Think you can show her around while I talk to Mrs Struble?

MRS STRUBLE: Colonel O'Neill! The kids have been asking when you're coming
back to see us. How's Cassandra enjoying junior high?

O'NEILL: She's doing fine. She loves it. Listen, do you have room for
another student this afternoon?

They look across at Merrin who is playing catch, or not catching.

O'NEILL: She's.. visiting. from out of town.

MRS STRUBLE: We have art scheduled after recess.

O'NEILL: That's perfect.

Scene: Classroom

Merrin is looking at the paint.

MRS STRUBLE: Your assignment is to paint something you love. Now, it could
be a person or.. an object. Just use your imaginations.

Merrin gets some blue paint and looks at the girl's next to her.

SOME TIME LATER

Jack walks round and sees a girl has painted him.

O'NEILL: I look fat.

The girl giggles.

MERRIN: Colonel O'Neill?

Merrin has painted a Naqahdah reactor.

MERRIN: This brush is too wide to accurately render the wires.

O'NEILL: Okay, let's try this again.

He rips the paper off the easel.

O'NEILL: Something you love. Something that's not a machine, okay? Remember
those flowers in Major Carter's lab? The ones on the desk? Paint one of
those. Go ahead.

Merrin starts to paint in the bottom corner of the sheet. Jack pokes his
head back around.

O'NEILL: Bigger! Big.

SOME TIME LATER

MERRIN: There is no purple.

O'NEILL: Use red.

MERRIN: If I could have another cup.. I could mix the blue with the red.

O'NEILL: Make the flower red.

MERRIN: But those flowers were purple! You ask me to draw a flower but you
do not give me the means to do this accurately.

O'NEILL: Merrin.. listen to me. It doesn't have to be exact. Paint me a
flower. I don't care what it look like. Here, use this. And don't stop with
one. Paint the whole garden!

MERRIN: But..

O'NEILL: Ah! Paint.

SOME TIME LATER

The classroom is empty but for Merrin and Jack. Merrin has finished. She
picks up her pad and sits on the window ledge next to Jack.

O'NEILL: Nice. Who's that?

He points to a stick figure.

MERRIN: It's a representation of Major Carter.

Jack smiles.

O'NEILL: Of course it is.

MERRIN: Is it right?

O'NEILL: Oh yeah. It's way more than right.

MERRIN: Thank you Colonel O'Neill, for teaching this to me.

O'NEILL: You're welcome. Merrin. All you have to do is ask. I'll find a way
to make it happen.

MERRIN: I have a duty to my people. My knowledge is important to them. You
did promise.

Scene: SGC- corridor outside Control Room

CARTER: Unfortunately the test used up the last of our naqahdah, but we'll
find more.

HAMMOND: At least we've got a working prototype. Colonel?

Jack is waiting in the Control room.

O'NEILL: I'm not here to cause trouble, Sir.

MERRIN: Colonel O'Neill?

O'NEILL: I have something for you.

He hands her a Big Box of crayola crayons.

MERRIN: They're beautiful. Thank you. You are mad at me for not staying.

O'NEILL: No. No, I'm not.

MERRIN: Then you understand.

Jack doesn't say anything.

HAMMOND: Major Carter, please take Merrin down to the Gate room. I'll be
there momentarily.

CARTER: Yes, Sir.

They leave.

HAMMOND: You've already given me more than enough reason for a court
martial.

O'NEILL: General, for a few hours today, I got to show that little girl how
to be a kid. If you want to punish me, go ahead.

Hammond leaves.

Scene: Gateroom

Daniel, Sam and Teal'c are there.

MERRIN: On behalf of the citizens of Orban, I'd like to thank you for the
experience you have given me and to my people. I have learned much in my
time here.

CARTER: So have we.

Kalan and Merrin turn to walk through the Gate while Jack watched from the
Control Room.

Scene: Control Room

Daniel, Sam, Jack and Teal'c enter.

HAMMOND: We've just received a transmission from Orban. Kalan asked for all
of you to go there right away.

DANIEL: Is something wrong?

HAMMOND: You'll find out when you get there.

Scene: Orban Gateroom

SG-1 come through the Gate to be met by Kalan.

KALAN: Thank you for coming!

DANIEL: What's wrong?

KALAN: Oh, nothing is wrong! I will show you!

Scene: Orban Former Urrone Area.

The children are playing hopscotch, throwing a ball, juggling etc.

KALAN: Come! Look! Isn't it wonderful?

Tomin is skipping.

KALAN: Solen.. Solen. Colonel O'Neill, this is my son, Tomin. I am teaching
him. All of the past Urrone children will now learn in the 'old fashioned
way' as you might say. He will know all that you have done for Orban. Oh,
I.. I drew this for you. To express my gratitude.

Jack opens the paper and it's the same stick figure Sam and Merrin drew.

CARTER: Isn't that..

KALAN: Me!

DANIEL: Kalan, when did all this start?

KALAN: Last night, after Merrin's Averium.

CARTER: She must have known this would happen once her nanites were
transferred.

O'NEILL: This is what she learned.

Sam looks round.

CARTER: Colonel.

He follows her gaze to see Merrin colouring on the wall with the crayons he
gave her. He goes over. Teal'c goes to Tomin who reaches out to touch his
tattoo.

O'NEILL: Hi Merrin.

She just looks at him.

O'NEILL: Okay. I guess we'll just have to get to know one another all over
again.

He picks up a crayon and starts to draw. Merrin scribbles over it.

O'NEILL: You're right. What was I thinking? Have you ever seen a dog? Dogs
are my favourite people. Some have tails, some don't. Not a lot of purple
dogs.

Episode 47 - "Legacy"

Written By: Tor Alexander Valenza
Directed By: Peter DeLuise

Starring:

Richard Dean Anderson as Colonel Jack O'Neill
Michael Shanks as Doctor Daniel Jackson
Amanda Tapping as Major Samantha Carter
Christopher Judge as Teal'c
Don S. Davis as General George Hammond
Teryl Rothery as Doctor Janet Fraiser

Kevin McNulty as Doctor Warner
Eric Schneider as Doctor MacKenzie

Scene: A darkened corridor

O'NEILL: Daniel? Any ideas about this place?

DANIEL: Well it looks like it was built by a pretty advanced culture, then
stripped and deserted.

CARTER: The MALP showed no life signs.

O'NEILL: Teal'c? What do you think?

TEAL'C: It is an ancient Goa'uld design.

Teal'c goes to touch a panel and a door opens.

O'NEILL: Now that is not a good smell.

Daniel walks in and brushes by something.

DANIEL: Jesus!

It's a corpse.

O'NEILL: All right. Level A.

TEAL'C: There is another one here.

O'NEILL: More over there.

Sam sees a scar on the neck of one of the corpses.

CARTER: These aren't quite human. They're Goa'uld.

OPENING CREDITS

TEAL'C: This mechanism appears to have been damaged by a ribbon device.

CARTER: Maybe they were trying to contain whatever did this.

DANIEL: Teal'c, do you recognise this symbol?

TEAL'C: It is the crest of the Linvris.

O'NEILL: Which is what? Or who/

TEAL'C: A rival league of lesser Goa'uld who challenge the System Lords.

O'NEILL: A minor league?

TEAL'C: Yes. There are nine.

CARTER: Five, six, seven, eight, nine. Found 'em.

Meanwhile, Daniel has picked up a tablet.

DANIEL: It's one of those Goa'uld tablet devices, the kind we found on
Argos.

CARTER: Can you translate it?

DANIEL: Part of it. It's some sort of battle plan. I need the hand device
that makes the screen go to the next page.

O'NEILL: That thing?

Daniel bends down and picks up the Page Turning Device (PTD). He waves it
over the tablet and it doesn't change.

DANIEL: Nothing's happening.

He suddenly looks round.

O'NEILL: What?

DANIEL: I felt something brush by me.

O'NEILL: All right, let's pack it outta here. Leave this to the medical
containment unit. It's getting creepy.

They leave.

Scene: SG-1's locker room

Daniel walks out of the shower towelling his hair.

WOMAN: Dr. Jackson? (Whispers)

DANIEL: Out in minute!

WOMAN: Dr. Jackson! (Whispers)

Daniel looks up and around at the sink which is dripping. He puts his hand
under and catches the drips.

Scene: SGC Corridor

Sam is walking along.

CARTER: Daniel.

Daniel is walking out of the locker room.

DANIEL: Were you calling me just now?

CARTER: No.

DANIEL: You weren't calling my name in the locker room a minute ago?

CARTER: No, it wasn't me. General Hammond's waiting for us in the briefing
room.

Scene: Briefing Room

FRAISER: The Goa'uld died before their hosts. We know this due to a unique
protein marker left in Goa'uld bodies or host bodies after a Goa'uld dies.

CARTER: The same protein marker that was left in my body after Jolinar was
killed?

FRAISER: Yes.

HAMMOND: How did they die, Doctor?

FRAISER: Well at this point Sir, I can't really give you an accurate answer
and I may never be able to.

HAMMOND: Why not?

FRAISER: As with Major Carter, as these Goa'uld symbiotes died they rapidly
decayed and were absorbed by the host. There's no Goa'uld corpse for me to
study.

O'NEILL: What about bio warfare? Poison, disease, that kind of thing?

TEAL'C: The Goa'uld are immune to such things.

DANIEL: What about the hosts?

FRAISER: The humans were normal. No wounds, no infections.

DANIEL: Okay then, why are they dead?

FRAISER: According to Teal'c, the door was disabled from the inside. Locked
in with no food, no water, the probably died of starvation.

HAMMOND: Right now, I'm more concerned with who killed the Goa'uld and why.

TEAL'C: The System Lords would be the most likely suspect.

O'NEILL: But if the door was disabled from the inside, how did the perp, or
perps, get out?

CARTER: Maybe the assassins weren't visible and we're the ones who let them
out.

O'NEILL: Reetou. You think Reetou were in there?

TEAL'C: Reetou would not spare the host. Reetou weaponry does much damage to
the human body.

O'NEILL: Well there you go.

HAMMOND: Dr. Jackson, what about that Goa'uld tablet device?

The Stargate is beginning to rotate in the background.

PA: Incoming traveller.

DANIEL: Um.. It's a Goa'uld dialect akin to Latin. From what Teal'c and I
have made out so far, it's some sort of attack plan. Um.. I'm still trying
to figure out how to scroll to the next page, if there is a next page.

HAMMOND: Dr. Jackson, I want you to make translating that tablet your top
priority.

DANIEL: Yes Sir.

HAMMOND: Dismissed.

Teal'c, Sam and Janet leave. Daniel gets up as the Gate engages and walks to
the window overlooking the Gate. Jack follows him.

PA: SG7 returning.

Daniel looks down and SG7 appear to be the dead members of the Linvris. One
of them looks up at him and Daniel immediately turns to Jack to see if he
sees anything out of the ordinary. He doesn't. Daniel looks back and the
members of SG7 look normal again.

Scene: Daniel's Lab

Daniel picks up some pills and swallows them with a glass of water. He is
writing something down and mumbles in Goa'uld dialect.

DANIEL: To enter by infiltration. Infiltration.

MAN: Daniel. (whispers)

Daniel looks up.

MAN: Daniel! Daniel!

The sounds of chevrons locking can be heard. Daniel looks towards his
cupboard. He gets up and opens his closet. There appears to be a wormhole
event horizon there.

MAN: Join with us, Daniel. Step through the Gate, Daniel.

DANIEL: This isn't real.

He lifts his hand to touch the event horizon and a hand suddenly comes back
out of the event horizon and grabs him by the shirt.

DANIEL: Help! Somebody help!

A face then appears. It's one of the dead Linvris. Daniel is then pulled
through the event horizon.

Scene: Infirmary

Daniel opens his eyes to see Jack playing with a bag of solution.

O'NEILL: Hello.

DANIEL: Hello.

O'NEILL: What happened?

DANIEL: Do you believe in ghosts?

O'NEILL: Uhh.. No. Uh huh.

DANIEL: Neither do I. Which means there has to be a logical explanation.

O'NEILL: For what?

DANIEL: When we were in the Linvris chamber, I felt something brush by me.
And I've heard voices. And I keep seeing the dead Goa'uld from the massacre.

O'NEILL: Where?

DANIEL: Well, last night they were in my closet. In like a.. Stargate event
horizon without the Gate.

O'NEILL: In your closet?

DANIEL: Yes. I don't think they're really dead.

O'NEILL: Who? The stiffs in the morgue?

DANIEL: No, the nine Goa'uld that were using them as hosts. I translated a
phrase in the tablet that I thought meant 'attack' but when I refined the
translation, I realised it means 'to enter by infiltration'.

O'NEILL: And you think that's what they're doing?

DANIEL: Yes.

O'NEILL: Through your closet?

DANIEL: Teal'c said the Linvris were being hunted by the System Lords,
right? No what if they used some sort of technology that transformed their
bodies into. I don't know, energy or something.

O'NEILL: Energy?

DANIEL: Or something. I don't know exactly how- Sam can figure that part
out. The point is, they're here. They've entered by infiltration and now
they want me as a host.

O'NEILL: All nine of 'em?

DANIEL: That sounds crazy, huh?

O'NEILL: Mmm.. Yeah. I. You gotta admit, there are some holes in you theory
here.

DANIEL: Well it's a theory, not a proof.

O'NEILL: Why are you the only one who can see them? Why didn't they come
through my closet? Aside from the fact that yours is cleaner.

DANIEL: I don't know. The only other theory I can come up with is I'm having
some sort of nervous breakdown.

O'NEILL: Or something. Yeah.

DANIEL: Or something.

Scene: Briefing room

Jack walks in and stops.

O'NEILL: Doctor MacKenzie.

MACKENZIE: Colonel.

O'NEILL: I'm not going to enjoy this am I?

HAMMOND: Part of Dr. MacKenzie's work involves analysing psychological data
from SG units specifically looking for side effects to Gate travel. Dr.
Jackson's episode yesterday may have uncovered a serious one.

MACKENZIE: Dr. Fraiser's been treating you for headaches lately, hasn't she?

O'NEILL: Yes. What's that got to do with Daniel?

MACKENZIE: Well you're not the only one.53% of SG field personnel also have
a history of them.

O'NEILL: A lot of people get headaches. What's your point?

MACKENZIE: Dr. Jackson has experienced what I'd characterise as a first
break psychotic episode, which may be manifesting full blown hebephrenic
schizophrenia.

FRAISER: Migraines are often one of the first signs.

O'NEILL: Wait a minute. Daniel's a schizophrenic and it's caused by the
Stargate?

FRAISER: It's the only logical explanation we have right now, Colonel.

O'NEILL: Well it sounds fairly theoretical to me. Does anybody think it
could be stress?

FRAISER: As much as I'd like to think that's all it is, the evidence just
doesn't point that way. Daniel has paranoid delusions, auditory and visual
hallucinations.

MACKENZIE: Dr. Jackson's dopamine levels have increased in the left
hemisphere of his brain. All these symptoms are textbook schizophrenia.

CARTER: I don't understand how this could happen without us noticing signs.

FRAISER: Nobody knows the exact cause of schizophrenia. Some cases are
genetic, but there's no history of it in Daniel's family. When it's not
genetic, it's environmental and the Stargate is a plausible environmental
cause.

CARTER: I've been through the Gate as many times as Daniel. I don't have
headaches.

FRAISER: Your body may have some kind of immunity, possibly due to Jolinar.

O'NEILL: All right. Let's say for the sake of argument that it is the
Stargate, a theory to which I do not ascribe. Then why don't we put a little
sign at the base of the ramp that says "Gate travel may be hazardous to your
health"? I can live with that.

CARTER: So can I Sir.

HAMMOND: The Air Force can't. I can't risk any SG officer having delusions
in the middle of a crisis. Therefore, as we speak, all outstanding SG teams
are being recalled for evaluation.

CARTER: You're shutting down the whole programme?

HAMMOND: Only until Dr. MacKenzie and his team submit their report. If his
theory is proven correct limits will be placed on the number of missions.
Till then the Stargate is closed.

O'NEILL: General.

HAMMOND: There is no debate, Colonel.

O'NEILL: Of course not. (To Carter)

CARTER: What about Daniel, Sir?

MACKENZIE: For now, we're going to medicate him and let him rest in one of
the VIP rooms.

FRAISER: But if his symptoms persist, or if he becomes a threat to himself
or anyone else we'll have to commit him to Mental Health.

Sam and Jack look at each other.

Scene: VIP Room

Daniel and Jack are playing chess.

DANIEL: Check.

Jack moves his piece.

DANIEL: Oh.

O'NEILL: What? Didn't see that?

DANIEL: Actually, I was oh-ing about something else.

He moves a piece.

DANIEL: Checkmate. I should have done that two moves ago. I don't know what
I was thinking.

O'NEILL: Yeah, well. You're a little off.

DANIEL: I don't feel off. I feel. I feel fine. No headaches, no tension, I
mean, I feel normal.

O'NEILL: That's because it was just stress. And I have a very calming effect
on stressed out people. How about a game of gin?

DANIEL: I'm not very good at gin.

O'NEILL: Good! Get the cards.

Daniel gets up to go to the cupboard and hears the sound of chevrons
locking. He looks back at Jack to see if he hears it too but Jack is putting
the chess pieces away. Just as the noise sounds as if the Stargate would
engage, Daniel opens the cupboard and it's normal. He gets the cards and
sits down again. Suddenly he hears screeching and looks up. As Jack is
shuffling the cards, a fully grown Goa'uld symbiote is crawling up his arm.

DANIEL: Jack?

O'NEILL: Yeah? What?

DANIEL: It's nothing.

O'NEILL: You all right?

DANIEL: I'm fine. How are you feeling?

The Goa'uld suddenly crawls up to Jack's neck and enters the back of it.
Jack's eyes glow and he is seemingly unaware of this.

O'NEILL: Good. Real good.

Daniel jumps up and runs to the back of Jack.

DANIEL: There's a Goa'uld in you! I've got to get it out!

O'NEILL: Get. There's no Goa'uld in me!

DANIEL: I'm sorry. I saw it. I saw it.

Daniel starts to sway.

O'NEILL: You all right? Come on.

Daniel sinks to the floor.

O'NEILL: All right, easy, easy, easy. Put your head down.

Jack rings for some help while we focus on Daniel. As he lies on the floor,
something moves under his skin.

Scene: Air Force Hospital

Jack, Sam and Teal'c follow MacKenzie down a corridor. They get to a room
and MacKenzie opens the door.

MACKENZIE: Don't expect too much. If he becomes agitated, call the aides.

We see SG-1 from Daniel's point of view and it's blurred.

DANIEL: Jack?

CARTER: It's us, Daniel. Can't you see us?

DANIEL: I was just making sure you weren't figments of my mind. They took
away my glasses in case I broke the lenses and, uh, tried to, uh, hurt
myself.

O'NEILL: Are they treating you okay?

DANIEL: Yeah.

Daniel starts to cry.

DANIEL: I'm sorry.

O'NEILL: For what?

DANIEL: For being such a headcase.

CARTER: It's not your fault Daniel.

TEAL'C: Colonel O'Neill believes it has something to do with the Linvris.

O'NEILL: You remember in that chamber you said you felt something brush by
you?

DANIEL: Yes. It was them. I know you don't believe me but I felt them. They
heard me.

Daniel hears footsteps and darts off to a corner of the padded room.

DANIEL: They're coming. They're coming.

TEAL'C: Only your friends are here, Daniel Jackson.

DANIEL: They're coming. I hear footsteps. Footsteps.

O'NEILL: Daniel, there are no footsteps. Stay with us.

DANIEL: Footsteps!

From DanielCam, a dead member of the Linvris pops up behind Teal'c.

Daniel starts laughing and points.

DANIEL: I told you. That's one of them. He's right there.

TEAL'C: There is no one at my side, Daniel Jackson.

DANIEL: Yes, there is.

O'NEILL: Wanna get the aides?

Sam nods and she knocks on the door. Daniel suddenly jumps up and runs at
what he thinks is a member of the Linvris. Teal'c grabs him and restrains
him. Daniel suddenly sees a little blue jelly thing go from him into Teal'c
hand. He pulls away as the aides come in.

DANIEL: Something just went inside Teal'c.

O'NEILL: You're hallucinating Daniel.

The aides come in and hold Daniel down.

DANIEL: Well don't just stand there! Get it out of him!

MACHELLO: You have delivered me to the vile Goa'uld so that I may destroy
him.

DANIEL: Machello!

MACKENZIE: Okay, let's raise the dose. 5mls at four hour intervals.

DANIEL: Machello.

Scene: SGC

Jack, Sam and Teal'c walk out of an elevator. Jack and Sam are ahead of Teal
'c.

CARTER: God, I hate seeing him like that.

O'NEILL: Nothing worse than losing your mind and knowing it's happening.

Teal'c suddenly collapses behind them. Sam grabs his arm and Jack grabs the
other one and looks at the Airman on security detail.

O'NEILL: Infirmary.

The Airman goes to his phone and Sam and Jack take Teal'c to the infirmary.

Scene: Daniel's padded room.

Daniel is lying on the floor dreaming.

Flashback to Holiday when SG1 met Machello.

MACHELLO: Yes, inventions to fight the Goa'uld!

Flashback to the aides injecting Daniel.

DANIEL: Machello.

MACHELLO: Yes!

Flashback to Holiday.

MACHELLO: Yes. Inventions to fight the Goa'uld!

Flashback to one of the jelly things entering Teal'c.

Daniel wakes up and gets up to bang on the door.

DANIEL: Dr MacKenzie! Dr MacKenzie!

Scene: SGC Infirmary

Teal'c is in an isolation tent. Janet comes out.

FRAISER: Teal'c symbiote is dying. I can't explain why.

O'NEILL: Teal'c, what about that kel'no'reem thing?

Teal'c shakes his head weakly.

HAMMOND: Is he having hallucinations like Dr Jackson?

FRAISER: No. His dopamine levels are normal. Besides, Daniel didn't have the
same physical symptoms. They seem to be unrelated.

O'NEILL: What are we talking about, timewise?

FRAISER: Without another symbiote, a day, two. Maybe less. Even if we found
another larval Goa'uld in time, there's no telling if it would survive
either.

Scene: Daniel's padded room.

Dr MacKenzie and some aides come in.

MACKENZIE: Dr Jackson?

DANIEL: Stop. One second.

MACKENZIE: Look, Daniel, it's time for your meds.

DANIEL: I don't, uh, I don't need any more drugs. What I need is the ones
you got in my system, out of my system.

MACKENZIE: No, Daniel. You need rest.

DANIEL: I think I've rested enough. Just tell me one thing. Is Teal'c sick?

MACKENZIE: Not that I'm aware of. I haven't been to the SGC.

Daniel bangs his head against the wall.

MACKENZIE: Dr Jackson, I insist you calm yourself. Otherwise I'll have to
have you restrained and further sedated.

DANIEL: Why are you so quick to jump to the conclusion I'm crazy? That I'm
dangerous, I'm out of control? It's cos I'm kinda acting that way, aren't I?
I just need to get these drugs out of my system. Look, Doctor. I know you
probably hear this from patients all the time but I think I'm cured.

MACKENZIE: You're right, I hear that all the time. I'm afraid it doesn't
work that way. You don't get well from something like this overnight.

DANIEL: You do if there was an alien organism inside you that was making you
think that you were sick when you really weren't.

MACKENZIE: Mm-hm. And you, uh, found this out how?

DANIEL: Machello told me.

MACKENZIE: Machello?

DANIEL: He's an alien old man we met on P3C 599.

MACKENZIE: Dr Jackson, you haven't had any visitors.

DANIEL: No, of course I haven't. You see, Machello is dead.

MACKENZIE: Dead? Yet he told you there was someone inside you making you
appear crazy?

DANIEL: That's a good point. I wouldn't, uh, I wouldn't buy that if I were
you either. Just do me one favour okay? Contact the SGC. Find out if Teal'c
is sick. If he is, promise me you'll let me talk to Jack O'Neill.

Scene: Infirmary

Sam and Jack are sat on a chair and bed while Janet is with Teal'c.

HAMMOND: Dr MacKenzie seems to think there's some sort of change with Dr
Jackson.

FRAISER: A change, sir?

HAMMOND: He's requesting that you come out there, Colonel.

Jack leaves.

Scene: Daniel's padded room.

The door opens and Jack walks in. Daniel gets up from the floor.

O'NEILL: Hey Daniel.

DANIEL: You don't, uh, you don't need to walk on eggshells any more. I'm
better.

O'NEILL: So I hear. Uh, it's not that I doubt you, but, um, why do you think
it happened all of a sudden?

DANIEL: I don't completely understand it myself, but I saw something come
out of me and go into Teal'c. And then I heard Machello's voice.

O'NEILL: Uh, Machello?

DANIEL: Just hear me out. I'm guessing it wasn't actually Machello. It was
probably some sort of technological or organic recording. It said something
about delivering Machello to the vile Goa'uld, which made me start thinking.
Maybe I had some sort of Goa'uld killing invention inside of me. One of
Machello's inventions.

O'NEILL: And that's what made you nuts?

DANIEL: Well since I don't have a Goa'uld, a side effect off this invention
must make normal people act like they're..

O'NEILL: Nuts. (whispers)

DANIEL: Schizophrenic. Look. Teal'c is sick right.

O'NEILL: Right.

DANIEL: Well he does have a Goa'uld.

Scene: Infirmary

Daniel looks at Teal'c. He's back in SGC fatigues and wearing his glasses.

FRAISER: Your dopamine levels are back to normal.

DANIEL: I'm back to normal.

CARTER: Okay, let's say your concept about Machello's Goa'uld killing
invention is right. Why did it take so long to go into Teal'c?

DANIEL: I don't know. Maybe it needed a close proximity to sense his Goa'uld
larva. Look, I had a lot of time locked in that little room to think about
this. It makes sense. Why am I back to normal? And coincidentally, hours
after touching me, Teal'c is sick.

O'NEILL: Why didn't I get sick when we were playing cards the other night
and you were jumping all over me?

DANIEL: Because last I heard you don't have a Goa'uld larva.

FRAISER: All right, but Daniel look, we ran every test we have. MRI, CAT
scan, X-rays, full blood work up. There is nothing foreign in Teal'c or his
symbiote.

DANIEL: It's there. I know it! I saw it.

CARTER: Daniel, those bodies had only been there a month. Machello's been
dead for six months. How could he be responsible?

DANIEL: What if he planted those killing devices there six months ago? Or a
year ago? Then the Linvris walk into their meeting.

O'NEILL: Like a land mine?

DANIEL: Yes!

Sam gets up and goes to the computer.

DANIEL: World War I mines are still going off in France today, even though
the soldiers that planted them are long since dead.

CARTER: You think that Machello made this thing right?

DANIEL: Right.

CARTER: We crated off everything in Machello's laboratory to Area 51 and
it's all in our database. Let's see if we can find something that looks
familiar.

Sam flicks through the items on the screen and Jack points at one of them.

O'NEILL: Right there. Right there. Back it up.

It's the tablets.

DANIEL: I picked that up in the Linvris chamber.

FRAISER: Why did he make so many page turning devices?

CARTER: It could be our landmine.

Scene: Lab with Observation room overlooking.

Daniel is in the room overlooking and Sam, Janet and Jack are in the lab.

FRAISER: On the right is the PTD from the Linvris and the one on the left is
from Area 51.

CARTER: They look exactly like the one we found on Argos. The Linvris
probably thought it was one of their own.

O'NEILL: It's a good way to hide a mine.

CARTER: Yeah. Question is, how do we set it off?

Sam taps one with some tongs.

FRAISER: No. Okay. Um, let's see what happens when we use it on the tablet.

Sam picks it up and waves it over the tablet. 10 little jelly things come
out.

FRAISER: There they are. I'm counting five, ten altogether. So if all PTD's
are the same, we're looking at ten per device.

DANIEL: That explains how I got infected. There were nine Linvris.

CARTER: And when you activated the device, the last one went into you.

FRAISER: Let's try and immobilise one and put it under the scope.

She tries to grab one but they go through the protective gloves they are
both wearing.

FRAISER: The gloves are breached!

CARTER: Whoa!

One gets out of the container.

O'NEILL: Whoa! Who-whoa!

DANIEL: General Hammond, B Haz Mat Observation right away!

Three of the devices go into Jack. Janet tries to stop them going into her
but can't. Sam is the same.

FRAISER: No!

O'NEILL: Great.

Hammond comes into the overlooking room where Daniel is sitting.

DANIEL: We have a breach.

HAMMOND: Is there any chance of further contamination to the base?

FRAISER: Judging what happened to Daniel Sir, as long as we stay in here and
don't go near anyone else, the base is probably secure.

HAMMOND: Dr Warner to B Haz Mat Three Observation stat. Containment team to
B Haz Mat Three for containment integrity scan.

DANIEL: There has to be an answer in this tablet.

O'NEILL: Is there anything we can do from in here?

FRAISER: Nothing Colonel. All the specimens are inside us. Since we're
infected by multiple organisms we can expect our symptoms to be rapidly
acute.

O'NEILL: I'd like to apologise in advance for anything I may say or do that
could be construed as offensive as I slowly go NUTS!

FRAISER: Likewise Colonel.

CARTER: Colonel? Janet?

O'NEILL: Carter?

From Jack's point of view Sam's eyes glow and her voice is distorted.

CARTER: Sir, there's nothing wrong with me.

DANIEL: Sam, you've got four of those things in you.

CARTER: I know that, but I feel fine.

O'NEILL: You're not seeing or hearing any of this stuff.

CARTER: No Sir, I feel completely normal. Somehow I must be immune.

Dr Warner arrives.

WARNER: Dr Fraiser, what can I do to help?

FRAISER: Not much I'm afraid.

CARTER: Doctor, there's nothing wrong with me. Sir, I'd like Dr Warner to
take some tests, try to figure out why.

HAMMOND: I'm afraid that's not possible. That would risk another person
being contaminated, if not the entire base.

DANIEL: Sir, those organisms left my body, I might be immune. I may be the
only one who can go in there and help them.

HAMMOND: We don't know that Dr Jackson. I can't let you risk it. (Turns to
the lab) Dr Warner will stay here . We'll get whoever else you think can
help. But you're going to have to figure it out in there.

CARTER: I understand Sir.

She turns round and winces.

CARTER: Whoa! Oh, I think I spoke too soon.

DANIEL: What's wrong?

CARTER: Oh, God, something's happening.

The organisms come out of her ear and drop to the floor. She bends down and
pokes them to check they are dead.

CARTER: I think they're dead. Daniel, I could have sworn I heard.

DANIEL: Machello?

CARTER: Yes. He said my Goa'uld captor is dead, but I don't have a Goa'uld.

DANIEL: You did.

CARTER: That has to be it. Janet said that when a Goa'uld dies, it dissolves
into a host and leaves a unique protein marker.

DANIEL: So these Goa'uld killing inventions die because they detect the
protein marker? That doesn't make any sense. Why isn't Jack immune? He
should have some sort of protein marker left over from Hathor's Goa'uld.

CARTER: No. No. That Goa'uld left Colonel O'Neill's body and died before it
had a chance to take over. Janet, can you hear me? Can we extract my blood
and inject it into everyone that's infected.

WARNER: No, your blood types don't match. You have to separate the protein
from the rest of the blood.

CARTER: Okay, how do I do that?

WARNER: You don't have the necessary equipment there. Even if you did, it
would take weeks.

CARTER: Come on, there's gotta be a way! We've got all this stuff.

WARNER: I'm sorry, but you need to use high pressure liquid chromatography
to separate and isolate the protein factions from the rest of the blood.
That would yield thirty to forty proteins. Then you'd have to test each one
of them to find...

CARTER: Okay! I get the point.

FRAISER: Centrifuge.

CARTER: What? What about the centrifuge?

FRAISER: Put as much blood as possible in centrifuge.

Sam rolls up her sleeve and prepares to take her own blood. Janet starts
stripping.

WARNER: You're wasting your time Major.

Sam gets the needle and injects it to take the blood.

CARTER: Okay. Now what?

FRAISER: It's too hot. It's too hot. They're trying to suffocate us.

CARTER: Janet!

Janet sees Sam's eyes glow.

FRAISER: No! You're a Goa'uld! Stay away!

CARTER: I'm not a Goa'uld, Janet. It's me- Sam. I'm your friend.

FRAISER: Put the test tube in the centrifuge.

Sam does so and turns it on. It stops spinning a time later and she takes it
out.

CARTER: Janet. Get back with me here! We're trying to separate that protein
from my blood, remember? The centrifuge just finished. Now what?

WARNER: Major, you're wasting your time. If she thinks there's another way,
she's not in her right mind. There's only one way to separate that protein.

FRAISER: You don't need to. Just need to separate red blood cells.

DANIEL: What? What's she talking about?

WARNER: I see where you're going. I see where you're going. Don't even try
to separate the proteins. Just separate the rejectable parts and give them
all the rest.

DANIEL: What?

WARNER: The part that makes blood types incompatible is just the red blood
cells and a few things in the plasma. If we can get those out, the rest
should be safe.

FRAISER: Quick freeze.

CARTER: Quick freeze?

WARNER: Major, look in the freezer over there. See if there's any dry ice.

CARTER: Yeah, there's a ton of it.

WARNER: Good. Follow my directions very carefully.

Some time later.

WARNER: Looks good. Pick your first patient.

CARTER: This was your idea. Wanna be first?

Sam injects into Janet and goes over to Jack.

O'NEILL: You look terrible.

CARTER: Thank you Sir. I need to give you a shot. Will you let me do that?

She does so anyway.

CARTER: Janet?

FRAISER: Uh, I'm hearing.

CARTER: You're hearing Machello?

FRAISER: Yeah. Ahh!

The organisms drop out of Janet's, then Jack's ears.

O'NEILL: Ugh!

Jack picks one up and drops it. Everyone smiles.

Scene: Infirmary

Teal'c is still lying in the bed. Janet picks up a syringe and goes to
inject it into his IV line.

FRAISER: Okay. Well, I don't know if this is going to work. He'll have the
marker but he'll still have a Goa'uld larva. Depends on how smart Machello
made the little beggars.

A nurse gives Janet a suction device and they wait.

TEAL'C: Machello!

The remaining organism comes out of Teal'c ear. Everything is fine again.

Scene: The Gateroom
Hammond is standing at the top of the ramp talking to SG1, who are standing
down the side of the ramp, and other personnel standing in the Gateroom.
HAMMOND: You have fought with valour and courage, sacrificed for each other,
for this country, for this planet. To honour the men and women of the SGC, I
present Arthur Simms, the Secretary of Defense of the United States of
America.
SIMMS: Since the re-inception of this programme, I have eagerly awaited
every word of every mission report stemming from this base like a wide eyed
child waiting for his next bed time story. Not actually being here, seeing
your faces or this Stargate here behind me it is sometimes easy to forget
that it's all really happening. The President regrets not being able to be
here but I'm glad because it gives me the opportunity to congratulate you on
your recent effort in defeating a formidable enemy and rescuing SG1,
captured in the line of duty. You risk your lives every day in a way more
dangerous and fantastic than any of us could have ever dreamed. Understand
that I represent every person of this great nation when I salute your
ongoing heroic spirit. You should be proud.
HAMMOND: Before we finish today I have one other small bit of business.
Please come to attention. From the Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force in
recognition of Captain Samantha Carter's outstanding work I hereby authorise
her immediate promotion to the rank of major. Captain, step forward.
Sam walks up the rank where General Hammond takes off her Captains bars.
HAMMOND: The United States Air Force recognises that you have fulfilled
tasks and duties well beyond the responsibility of captain.
Jack has moved forward and attaches the oakleaf on her left shoulder while
Hammond does her right.
HAMMOND: It is with great pleasure that I bestow upon you the
responsibilities, the respect and the rank of Major.
CARTER: Thank you Sir.
Sam salutes Hammond and turns to Jack who shakes her hand and salutes as
well.
O'NEILL: Well done Major.
Sam smiles and walks back to her place.
HAMMOND: In closing, Major Carter's supervisor, Colonel Jack O'Neill would
like to say a few words.
Jack walks to the podium.
O'NEILL: Normally, I am a man of very few words.
A bright light suddenly appears and engulfs Jack, beaming him somewhere.
HAMMOND: Code Nine!

Scene: A ship orbiting Earth
O'NEILL: And in conclusion, I'd like to say..
Suddenly realising he's not in Kansas any more, Jack stops and looks around.
Behind him, Thor suddenly beams in.
THOR: Greetings Jack O'Neill.
O'NEILL: Greetings. Have we met?
THOR: I am Thor.

OPENING CREDITS

Scene: Thor's ship
THOR: I apologise for taking you by surprise, but I have come on a matter of
great importance.
O'NEILL: We're in orbit around Earth, right?
THOR: Yes.
O'NEILL: You know, we have satellites and telescopes that can see things
like space ships.
THOR: Our ships have never been detected in orbit around Earth before.
O'NEILL: Hm. All right. I'm sorry. You were saying something. A matter of
great importance?
THOR: We received word of what transpired with your people and the goa'uld
named Hathor.
O'NEILL: She had it coming.
THOR: As a result, the Goa'uld System Lords have turned their attention
towards you.
O'NEILL: What, for killing Hathor? They should be thanking us. She was
planning to overthrow them.
THOR: Her intentions are irrelevant. Earth has once again proven it can be a
formidable threat to the Goa'uld.
O'NEILL: Oh, now, we're a threat to them?
THOR: They have decided it is a concern to be dealt with. The System Lords
are capable of launching and assault one hundred times more powerful than
that you previously withstood at the hands of Apophis.
O'NEILL: Okay, uh, that could be a problem.
THOR: The Asgard agree. I have come to offer our assistance.
O'NEILL: Now see that would be appreciated. I've seen your work. It's great.
THOR: The vast majority of the Asgard fleet is currently unavailable.
O'NEILL: Oh. So what d'you have in mind?
THOR: With your permission the Asgard will attempt to negotiate with the
Goa'uld System Lords to include Earth in the Protected Planets Treaty.
O'NEILL: That's a good thing right?
THOR: it would prevent this attack.
O'NEILL: Good. Uh, to be honest with you, I'd rather have a fleet of you
ships here. A few of these babies and we could just. We could try the
negotiating thing.
THOR: I will contact the System Lords. You may return to your planet now.
Thor beams out.
O'NEILL: Excuse me? I assume someone's gonna show me the way back?
He is beamed out.
O'NEILL: Thank you.

Scene: The Briefing Room
Hammond, Jack, Sam, Daniel and Teal'c are walking up the steps.
HAMMOND: Why would the Goa'uld agree to this negotiation?
TEAL'C: The Goa'uld fear the Asgard.
DANIEL: Plus I assume the Asgard would offer the Goa'uld something in
return, that's generally the way negotiations work.
HAMMOND: Well what if the summit fails?
O'NEILL: Well Thor said that's pretty much the only option he could offer.
If it fails. total annihilation.
HAMMOND: Well the President is wondering how confident we are in trusting
the Asgard.
CARTER: The Tok'ra trust them.
DANIEL: They helped Jack out when he got the Ancients language downloaded
into his brain.
O'NEILL: You gotta love 'em for that.
HAMMOND: But we know very little about the politics out there. How do we
know the Asgard truly have our best interests at heart?
O'NEILL: I suppose we don't. But if they have any other agenda in mind.
Thor suddenly beams in.
HAMMOND: Colonel, do we need Security?
O'NEILL: No I'll vouch for him Sir. Major Samantha Carter. Dr Daniel
Jackson. You remember Thor? Thor, this is Teal'c and Major General George
Hammond. He's the leader of our facility here.
THOR: The System Lords have agreed to negotiate.
O'NEILL: That's good news.
THOR: They will arrive in four days.
O'NEILL: Here?
THOR: It is customary for such negotiations to take place on the planet in
question. Three representatives from the System Lords will arrive by
Stargate. You must be prepared to speak on behalf of all the inhabitants of
Earth.
O'NEILL: Uh well maybe not me, personally.
THOR: We have chosen you, O'Neill, to represent your planet at the
proceedings.
O'NEILL: Now, see, that could be a mistake. You see, Dr Jackson here is an
extremely educated and articulate man. Very well versed in all the
languages.
THOR: You have led your people into the galaxy through the Stargate. You are
our choice, O'Neill. Further instructions to aid you in your preparation
will follow.
Thor beams out.
O'NEILL: Well, there you go.

Scene: Briefing Room
Daniel is stood by the projector screen telling everyone else including
Jack, Sam, Teal'c, Janet, Hammond and Simms about the 3 Goa'ulds that will
be arriving.
DANIEL: Cronus was amongst the earliest Greek Gods, one of 12 Titans who
eventually ascended to supreme domination. He was god of Fate and eventually
became father to Zeus, Hera, Poseidon and Hades. Now this last relationship
may indicate a connection to the Goa'uld Sokar.
TEAL'C: Cronus is the most influential of the System Lords. It was he who
originally banished Sokar. Cronus was also a mortal enemy of Apophis.
DANIEL: Which may indicate why the System Lords didn't join in Apophis'
attack on Earth.
TEAL'C: The System Lords reluctantly banded together to defend Goa'uld
territory against outside threats such as the Asgard and Reetou. However
they still battle amongst themselves for control of their own individual
domains.
DANIEL: The second Goa'uld representative we're expecting is.. Yu.
O'NEILL: Me?
DANIEL: Yu is the name of the Goa'uld.
O'NEILL: Ah. Sorry.
DANIEL: Also known as Yu the Great. He did not assume the role of a God per
se but may have been one of China's earliest emperors. Legend says he
possessed great mythical powers and sprang into the world from a dragon's
body. Ancient scrolls say he founded the first recorded dynasty whose
advances came about under harsh rule. However it should be noted that Yu did
account for a number of positive influences.
O'NEILL: Thank you.
Daniel looks at him.
O'NEILL: Sorry.
DANIEL: According to Thor's message, Yu is the most likely to favour this
treaty, as his interests no longer reside in this area of the galaxy.
HAMMOND: And the third Goa'uld Dr Jackson?
DANIEL: Another one we haven't met but have a certain familiarity with. For
those in the room that don't know, Nirrti is the Goa'uld who wiped out all
but one survivor of P8X 987 along with four members of the SGC in an attempt
to destroy Earth's Stargate.
CARTER: Cassandra's planet.
DANIEL: Little is known about Nirrti from Earth's perspective. In early
Hindu reference she was a destructive goddess of Darkness.
CARTER: So we're gonna let these Goa'uld just walk in here?
HAMMOND: There are a number of aspects of this situation I'm not comfortable
with Major. Thank you Dr Jackson. Teal'c, I would like you to act as liason
to the Goa'uld. Dr Jackson..
TEAL'C: General Hammond.
HAMMOND: Is there a problem?
TEAL'C: I mean no disrespect, but I have given my allegiance to you, to the
SGC and to the people of this world freely. I will not, however, not see to
the petty needs of these Goa'uld.
DANIEL: I'll see to the petty needs of the Goa'uld, Sir.
HAMMOND: Okay, Dr Jackson. Teal'c, you will assist Major Castleman with base
security. According to Thor, treaty law will not permit weapons of any kind
in this facility during negotiations.
O'NEILL: Whoa! Sir, that doesn't sound wise.
HAMMOND: We're largely trusting the Asgard based on your word Colonel. This
is their rule. As a result the base is completely sealed off from the
surface. The Secretary of Defense will be staying to represent the
President. Storage room 12A on Level 17 will be converted to a meeting room
for security reasons. You've all received folders that include your
individual assignments as preparation instructions as laid out by the
Asgard. There's a lot of work to do people, and not much time.

Scene: Room within the SGC
A woman inputs a code into a safe and takes out a tray. She passes it to Sam
who takes the Goa'uld hand device off it and hands it to man. She then gives
him the harakesh from In the Line of Duty and passes the trays back to the
woman.
SERGEANT: What about that one Major?
CARTER: This is a Goa'uld healing device. Those two are the weapons.

Scene: Corridor within the SGC
Jack walks along to catch up with Hammond.
O'NEILL: General!
HAMMOND: Colonel, how are your briefings going?
O'NEILL: I had no idea how exciting diplomacy could be Sir. What's this
about?
HAMMOND: I'm not sure. It's Teal'c.
They reach Teal'c.
HAMMOND: Teal'c, Sergeant, what's the problem?
SERGEANT: He won't relinquish his weapon Sir.
O'NEILL: Teal'c?
TEAL'C: Like you I do not believe we should remove all weapons from this
base.
HAMMOND: The Asgard were explicit. If they detect weapons, there will be no
summit.
O'NEILL: No summit, no treaty.
TEAL'C: The Goa'uld that you are allowing through your Stargate are amongst
the most deceptive and treacherous that I have ever known.
HAMMOND: Thor assures us the Goa'ulds are also forbidden from bringing
weapons.
O'NEILL: If this treaty doesn't happen, they're gonna send a hundred of
those motherships here. You know as well as I do what that means.
HAMMOND: Teal'c, I'm ordering you to turn your weapon over.
Teal'c looks at Jack and reluctantly turns the staff weapon over.

Scene: Corridor within the SCG
Armed men run down corridors as the doors behind them are sealed.
TANNOY: Checkpoints are now being sealed. Levels 3 through 28 are now off
limits.
Scene: Gateroom
The door opens and Jack walks in followed by Sam and Daniel. The Gate is
rotating.
TECH TURNER: Chevron 7 is locked. Off world activation.
The Gate opens. Cronus, Nirrti and Yu step through the Stargate.

Scene: VIP Room
Cronus walks in following Daniel.
DANIEL: Here we are. The VIP room. That's an acronym, it means very
important. I hope this is okay.
CRONUS: Your idea of accommodation is pitiful.
DANIEL: Well it's the best.
From outside in the corridor.
NIRRTI: We will not stand for this!
Cronus goes outside.
CRONUS: What is this about?
He sees Teal'c.
CRONUS: Shol'va!
TEAL'C: Onak holka shaka!
CRONUS: Treena arik croonaka shol'va!
DANIEL: What's going on?
NIRRTI: Your crude surveillance devices were poorly hidden in our quarters.
DANIEL: That's because they weren't hidden they're security cameras and
they're for your own safety.
TEAL'C: As I was trying to explain.
CRONUS: I will not be spied upon!
NIRRTI: Nor will I!
DANIEL: Well no offence was meant by it, it's merely a security precaution.
I'll ask if we can remove the cameras from the rooms but we'd definitely
like to leave them in the halls.
CRONUS: Do not show your face to me again, shol'va.
TEAL'C: Kelmar tokeem.

Scene: Daniel and Teal'c are walking towards the briefing room.
TEAL'C: As First Prime of Apophis, I often did battle with the Jaffa of
Cronus.
DANIEL: Well you must have battled lots of rival Goa'ulds, I'm sorry Teal'c,
that looked a little more personal to me.
TEAL'C: My father was once First Prime of Cronus. When I was but a child,
Cronus commanded my father to attack a Goa'uld who was more powerful at the
time. It was an impossible battle to win. When all was inevitably lost,
Cronus killed my father as punishment and exiled my mother and I. We fled to
Chulak. I vowed I would become the strongest Jaffa I could so one day I
would be named First Prime of Apophis, sworn enemy of Cronus.
Hammond comes out of his office.
HAMMOND: I trust our guests are settled?
TEAL'C: The Goa'uld demanded the security cameras be removed from their
quarters.
HAMMOND: I assume you told them no.
DANIEL: Actually Sir, I kinda told them it would be okay. I told them we'd
have to leave them in the halls, sort of a compromise.
HAMMOND: If you think it's absolutely necessary.
DANIEL: Yes.
Hammond walks back to his office and Daniel looks back at Teal'c.
DANIEL: Are you gonna be okay?
TEAL'C: I will.

Scene: Storage Room 12A
Sam walks in and startles Jack.
CARTER: Just wanted to wish you luck, Sir.
O'NEILL: Thank you Captain. Major.
CARTER: Nervous?
O'NEILL: I wouldn't call it nervous. Confused. I have no idea why I'm here.
CARTER: Well the Asgard obviously have confidence in you Sir, as do the rest
of us. I know I couldn't do it.
O'NEILL: Why?
CARTER: Well, I didn't want to say anything because I wasn't sure until I
saw his face, but I think Cronus is the one who sent the Ashrak to kill
Jolinar. I just hate having them here.
O'NEILL: Major, I hate having 'em anywhere.
Daniel walks in followed by the Goa'uld who obviously just heard what Jack
said.
O'NEILL: Oops.
CARTER: Good luck.
Jack winks at her as Sam leaves.
O'NEILL: Hello. Come on in. Have a seat. Thank you Dr Jackson. Hello Yu.
Well I guess we're just, uh,
Thor beams in.
O'NEILL: And here he is. The gang's all here. You all know each other. I
guess we can get started.
THOR: The Asgard High Council wishes you all greetings and thanks for this
opportunity to negotiate for peace.
YU: The Goa'uld System Lords are prepared to hear the Asgard proposal.
NIRRTI: Onak arik kree.
CRONUS: Koracca aseemu!
YU: Kornak kree! Keena arik Asgard!
O'NEILL: I thought we were all gonna speak the same language here?
CRONUS: Gonach!
Cronus, Nirrti and Yu get up and walk out.
O'NEILL: What? What'd I say?
THOR: You insulted them.
O'NEILL: I insulted them?
THOR: By speaking out of turn. This was to be expected.
O'NEILL: What are you talkin' about? They were yelling at each other before
I said a word!
THOR: The System Lords have a fragile relationship with one another, as do
we with them.
O'NEILL: You mean they're always like that?
Daniel walks in.
DANIEL: Excuse me. Sorry for interrupting. What just happened?
O'NEILL: Well apparently, we said hello, insulted each other, and broke for
recess.
Jack looks to Thor.
O'NEILL: Can I ask you something? Why did you let the Goa'uld get that much
power in the first place? I mean, if you've got the technology.
THOR: We are not proud of the fact that we have been forced to ignore the
situation as long as we have. But you must understand there are other
concerns for the Asgard. We have an enemy in our home galaxy that is far
worse than the Goa'uld.
DANIEL: Worse?
THOR: I cannot explain further. For now, we use what limited resources we
can spare to enforce these treaties with the Goa'uld.
DANIEL: What happens if a rogue Goa'uld, like Sokar, who's been banished by
the System Lords, decides to come after us?
THOR: In order to maintain the treaty, the System Lords would attempt to
prevent it. Our greatest advantage had been the feudal nature of the
Goa'uld. Our greatest concern has been a single Goa'uld rising to dominant
power. If Sokar were to overtake the System Lord collective the Asgard may
not have sufficient power to stop him.
O'NEILL: So, basically you guys are bluffing the Goa'uld, big time. So far
they've been so busy badgering each other, they bought it?
THOR: I must return to my ship now. It will take time before the System
Lords will be willing to reconvene. You may contact me with this. It will
work as long as my ship is in orbit.
O'NEILL: How?
THOR: Hold it in your hand and speak.
O'NEILL: Thanks.
DANIEL: We appreciate what you're doing.
THOR: These negotiations will not be easy. The Asgard will be required to
make great sacrifices. As will you.
He beams out.

Scene: Briefing Room
Jack walks into the briefing room where everyone else is sitting except
Daniel.
O'NEILL: The fate of the world in my hands and I screw it up!
SIMMS: I take it you apologised?
O'NEILL: Oh, I tried. They wouldn't see me.
HAMMOND: What now?
O'NEILL: Daniel typed up a formal letter in Goa'uld and I signed it. That
boy can really grovel when he has to.
SIMMS: It's probably part of their negotiating strategy.
O'NEILL: I hope so. Cos Thor made it pretty clear that we might have to give
up something big.
CARTER: What if it's hosts?
O'NEILL: Well now, that would be unacceptable, wouldn't it?
TEAL'C: As you have said O'Neill, the alternative could be far worse.
Daniel comes down the stairs.
DANIEL: They're ready.

Scene: Storage Room 12A
Jack walks in and sits down.
YU: We accept the apology of the human representative and agree to hear the
Asgard proposal.
THOR: In return for Earth's inclusion in the Protected Planets Treaty,
addendum 10815, the Asgard will allow the Goa'uld access to the Passage of
Nilor.
YU: According to treaty law, section 326, no human planet will be allowed to
advance technologically to a point where they may become a threat to the
Goa'uld.
THOR: You are correct.
NIRRTI: Definition of such threat shall rest solely in the hands of the
Goa'uld System Lords.
O'NEILL: What?! Sorry. May I ask a question?
THOR: The human representative is recognised.
O'NEILL: Thank you. Are you saying you're limiting our development?
CRONUS: The treaty recognises that the human species exists for the purpose
of serving the Goa'uld as hosts and slaves.
O'NEILL: Excuse me?!
THOR: Do the System Lords accept the Asgard proposal?
YU: The Goa'uld System Lords accept the Asgard proposal. We demand one
additional concession. We order the immediate and unconditional forfeiture
of the Tauri Stargate. Both of them.

Scene: Briefing room
DANIEL: Are we seriously going to give up Gate travel?
HAMMOND: Considering the alternative..
SIMMS: I believe that ring out there is the single most important thing on
this planet. And I understand what losing the Gate would mean. But is on
your word we trust these Asgard. Peaceful solutions to this crisis must be
considered.
O'NEILL: True, but.
CARTER: The point is, sir, with all due respect, it's not nearly as simple
as you put it.
TEAL'C: There are other threats to this world that this treaty will not
protect you from.
O'NEILL: From what my buddy Thor tells me, an enemy far worse than the
Goa'uld.
SIMMS: If any of you can tell me absolutely why we should not accept this
proposal, I will forward your opinion to the President. And I assure you it
will be given serious weight.

Scene: Thor's Ship
THOR: Have your people reached a decision?
O'NEILL: Um, not yet. That's kinda why I'm here. I was wondering what you
think we should do.
THOR: It is your decision.
O'NEILL: I see. Or do I? You guys, do you ever say one thing and mean
another? Kinda speak between the lines, if you know what I mean?
THOR: I do not.
O'NEILL: Do not what? Speak between the lines or understand?
THOR: What do you, O'Neill, think your people should do?
O'NEILL: Well, see, I don't know. It's a bit much for one guy to make that
call for an entire planet. On the other hand, it's pretty obvious. Give up
the Stargate or be destroyed.
THOR: So it would seem.
O'NEILL: But you see, the Goa'uld could call your bluff, attack us anyway
and we'd have given up our only means of finding a way to defend ourselves.
THOR: That is true.
O'NEILL: Oh come on! Gimme something! Anything! I won't hold you to it. A
little head nod if there's another way around this.
THOR: It is your planet at stake. I believe you have it within you to make
the right decision.
O'NEILL: All right. Send me back. Wait! Right there! Is that a head nod? A
nod is usually down then back up. You kinda just went down. Wait!
Thor beams Jack down.

Scene: Hammond's Office
Simms is on the red phone. Jack and Daniel are sat in the chairs in front of
Hammond's desk. Hammond is stood up.
SIMMS: Yes Sir. I understand.
He puts the phone down.
SIMMS: We accept the terms.
O'NEILL: Daniel, you wanna tell them we're ready?
Daniel gets up and then walks down a corridor when the alarms go off.
TANNOY: Security to Level 25. Medical team to Level 25. Emergency.
Daniel runs towards the emergency.
AIRMAN: In here Sir!
NIRRTI: What are these sounds?
DANIEL: Please just stay in your rooms for a moment.
Daniel goes into Cronus' room where he finds Teal'c and Cronus lying on the
floor bleeding and unconscious.

Scene: Infirmary-Teal'c's Room
FRAISER: His vitals are stable but he took quite a blow to the head. There's
some intracranial swelling.
O'NEILL: Junior taking care of it?
FRAISER: Yes, his larval Goa'uld is assisting in the healing process.
Hopefully there isn't any permanent brain damage but we won't know that
until he wakes up.
HAMMOND: How long?
FRAISER: That's up to him.
Janet, Jack and Hammond walk down a corridor to Cronus' room.
O'NEILL: What about Cronus?
FRAISER: Oh, he should only be so lucky. Severe internal injuries and his
host is dying.
O'NEILL: Shouldn't his snake be taking care of him?
FRAISER: Based on what I've learnt about Goa'uld physiology, the symbiote
cannot heal injuries this severe on its own. We're doing everything we can,
but I don't think he's gonna make it. It could be hours, could be minutes.
Sam comes in.
CARTER: I have the security videotape. You'll want to see this.
They all leave

Scene: Teal'c's Infirmary Room
CARTER: The SF's assigned in the hallway sounded the alarm. They say Teal'c
passed them and told them he was going to see Cronus.
DANIEL: Well Nirrti and Yu are demanding an explanation.
O'NEILL: Do we tell 'em?
CARTER: Well based on the videotape evidence, it looks like Teal'c is
involved. Not that I believe he's responsible for this.
DANIEL: Well I don't believe for a minute that Teal'c would sacrifice our
interests for a personal vendetta.
O'NEILL: What personal vendetta?
DANIEL: Well apparently Teal'c and Cronus have some pretty heavy history.
HAMMOND: Such as?
DANIEL: Cronus killed Teal'c father.
O'NEILL: Oh for crying out loud! Why doesn't he tell us these things? Why
didn't you tell us?
DANIEL: He confided in me.
CARTER: I still don't think Teal'c would do this.
O'NEILL: Well neither do I, but the case against him just got a little more
interesting don'tcha think?
DANIEL: Well we have to tell the other Goa'ulds something.
FRAISER: Yes, and if we lie, we could make things worse.
HAMMOND: Doctor?
FRAISER: Sir, the point is, maybe the Goa'ulds can do something for Cronus
that I can't.
HAMMOND: Let's tell the Goa'uld what we know. Major; find out what really
happened.
CARTER: Yes Sir.

Scene: Infirmary- Cronus' Room
NIRRTI: You will pay for this!
O'NEILL: We know it looks bad.
HAMMOND: But we're not sure what actually transpired.
YU: Whoever is responsible for this atrocity must be brought before us.
DANIEL: We're trying to find out what exactly happened.
NIRRTI: All the people of your planet will suffer greatly as punishment for
this crime.
O'NEILL: Just hang on a second before you start dooming everybody.
DANIEL: We brought you here because we want to know if there's anything
either of you can do for him.
FRAISER: He's dying.
YU: We can do nothing here in your primitive facilities.
DANIEL: Okay, can you use one of these?
He lifts up a healing device.
Nirrti takes it and holds it above Cronus. It lights up slightly and she
then takes it off.
NIRRTI: His injuries are too severe. The only way to save him is with a
sarcophagus.
O'NEILL: Okay, we don't have one of those.
YU: Then we'll prepare to leave immediately.
They leave.

Scene: Thor's ship
THOR: You must let them take Cronus.
O'NEILL: They'll attack us!
THOR: If you hold them against their will, the rest of the System Lords will
attack regardless.
O'NEILL: Look, Teal'c didn't do this.
THOR: I have been instructed by the Asgard High Council to leave Earth's
orbit.
O'NEILL: And that's what, in line with your policy of limited benevolence?
THOR: I have explained our position. To borrow from a human euphemism, it is
not a perfect galaxy.
O'NEILL: Well I'm sorry, I get a little testy when faced with the total
annihilation of our little corner of it.
THOR: We sympathise with your situation.
O'NEILL: Right. And yet you'll still just sit by and watch 'em destroy us.
THOR: We cannot interfere without beginning a much larger war that cannot be
won at this time.

Scene: Storage Room 12A
YU: I command that you release us.
NIRRTI: We must leave now and take Cronus before his death is on your heads.
HAMMOND: I'm sorry. I can't let you go.
NIRRTI: If we do not report back, your planet will suffer the full force of
the System Lord's wrath.
HAMMOND: That's going to happen whether we let you go or not.
YU: You have violated every code mandated for these negotiations! The Asgard
will not protect you!
O'NEILL: Actually you're wrong about something. There's one rule we haven't
broken yet.
Four SF's come in heavily armed.

Scene: Hammond's Office
SIMMS: Do we have any idea of what sort of time frame surrounds this
impending attack?
Hammond looks at Jack who shakes his head.
SIMMS: The President is readying his statement to the United Nations. From
what you're telling me, Earth should begin preparing for this onslaught
immediately.
O'NEILL: Boy did this get out of hand.
The phone rings.
HAMMOND: Hammond. Thank you. Teal'c is conscious.

Scene: Infirmary- Teal'c's room
TEAL'C: Cronus requested my presence.
O'NEILL: So you went. alone?
TEAL'C: It is what he requested. When I arrived, he denied making the
request. Before I could leave, we were attacked.
CARTER: By whom?
TEAL'C: An invisible force.
O'NEILL: Invisible force?
DANIEL: A reetou?
HAMMOND: Could one have come through the Gate with the Goa'ulds?
CARTER: Sir, we could break out the transphase eradication rods and do a
sweep of the base.
TEAL'C: I did not sense the presence of a reetou.
O'NEILL: I almost wish you had.
CARTER: Teal'c, are you aware of any of the Goa'uld having some sort of
stealth technology?
TEAL'C: I am not.
DANIEL: Hathor had the ability to appear and disappear.
O'NEILL: Okay, she's dead. Right? Please tell me she's dead.
CARTER: Yeah.
TEAL'C: I did not attack Cronus.
DANIEL: Well we believe you Teal'c, I just don't think anyone else is going
to.
O'NEILL: Certainly not those lying, scheming, no good for nothing, slimy,
overdressed style mongers.
CARTER: Sir! I'd like to try something.
O'NEILL: I wasn't finished.

Scene: Infirmary- Cronus' Room
Sam is holding the healing device over Cronus.
FRAISER: Are you sure you know what you're doing?
CARTER: I've made it work before, just not on a living thing.
She tries but nothing happens.
O'NEILL: Ah, I hate to go all Freudian on you here. The part of you that
knows how to run those things.
CARTER: You think I don't want to cure Cronus because he ordered Jolinar's
death. I just have the memories of Jolinar. She doesn't control me. I'm well
aware of the stakes here.
O'NEILL: I'm just sayin'.
She tries again and the device lights up and Cronus opens his eyes.
CARTER: It worked.
CRONUS: You have healed me, human. I am sure you spared my life only to
prevent your own destruction.
O'NEILL: Hey! We didn't do this to you. And we saved your snaky little butt
because we want the treaty to happen.
CRONUS: That is not possible now. Nirrti and Yu have undoubtedly blamed the
Tauri for this attack on me?
O'NEILL: Good catch. Look, it's obvious to everybody that one of them did
this to you. What if I can prove which one? What's that worth to you?
CRONUS: What do you ask in return?

Scene: Corridor
Jack, Sam, Daniel and Hammond walk down a corridor.
CARTER: We can't prove anything Sir. All we know for sure is that Nirrti
lied.
O'NEILL: But Cronus doesn't know that. And Nirrti doesn't know what else we
know.
DANIEL: Which is nothing.
O'NEILL: Right. But she doesn't know we know nothing.
HAMMOND: What are you suggesting?
O'NEILL: I'm just saying, maybe it's time we take a page out of the Asgard
book on dealing with these Goa'ulds.
DANIEL: You're gonna bluff.
HAMMOND: Sounds risky Colonel.
O'NEILL: Yes Sir.

Scene: Storage room 12A
Daniel, Jack and Hammond stand on one side of the room while Yu and Nirrti
sit at the table.
O'NEILL: You lied to us about being able to heal Cronus with that hand
device.
NIRRTI: I tried honestly and failed. I was willing to save Cronus by taking
him to a sarcophagus.
O'NEILL: Maybe you were, maybe you weren't. But the fact is you are the only
Goa'uld here who has the technology to become invisible.
NIRRTI: That is a lie!
O'NEILL: Who's lying? We called the Tok'ra.
DANIEL: They say you've been experimenting with phase shifting in order to
battle the Reetou.
YU: You did not share this technology with the System Lords?
NIRRTI: They are lying.
YU: You dare attack Cronus and defile our meeting with the Asgard?
NIRRTI: It is not true!
YU: You are the one who opposed this treaty! You have long coveted Cronus'
territory.
NIRRTI: Gonach!
Yu attempts to throttle Nirrti who pushes him and disappears. A force moves
towards the door and pushes a chair and 2 SF's out of the way. One of their
weapons is picked up and fires at Yu and the SGC personnel. Jack pushes Yu
out of the way.
O'NEILL: Look out!
The doors opens and Nirrti runs out. She runs into a corridor and we see her
fading in and out.
CARTER: Drop the weapon.
Sam and another airman have TER's trained on her.
CARTER: You ever seen one of these work? Cos there's nothing more I'd like
to do right now than demonstrate.
Nirrti lowers the weapon to the floor.

Scene: Storage Room 12A
Yu is examining his arm. The doors open and Nirrti walks in at gunpoint.
O'NEILL: Cronus said he'd support the treaty and we wouldn't have to give up
our Stargate. I was kinda hoping we could count on your vote.
Yu nods.

Scene: Gateroom
The Gate activates. Yu and Cronus take Nirrti up the ramp. Cronus turns back
to Jack and Daniel.
CRONUS: We will not attack your world. But, if you continue to use your
Stargate be warned. Anyone who is caught by one of the System Lords will be
shown no mercy. They will suffer greatly.
O'NEILL: Well that certainly makes life more interesting.
The System Lords leave through the Gate and it shuts down.
Jack and Daniel start to walk out of the room.
DANIEL: Boy, is she gonna get it.
O'NEILL: My heart bleeds.
Thor's ship leaves orbit.

The SGC Gateroom

The iris opens and a wormhole forms. Jack, Sam, Daniel and Teal'c are
waiting at the bottom of the ramp and Jacob Carter walks through.

JACOB: George.

HAMMOND: Jacob.

JACOB: Colonel O'Neill, Teal'c, Daniel. Sam.

He hugs Sam.

JACOB: How are you doing kid?

CARTER: Okay Dad.

JACOB: So, you guys are the talk of the Tok'ra water cooler.

O'NEILL: For what?

JACOB: Kicking some major Hathor behind.

O'NEILL: Yes we do take pride in good work. But that's not why you're here?

JACOB: No. We need your help.

CARTER: You need our help? With what?

JACOB: Let's just call it a Goa'uld hunt.


Briefing Room

Jack, Daniel and Teal'c are seated on one side of the table. Jacob places a
device in the middle of the table. It activates a hologram.

DANIEL: It's fascinating.

CARTER: No kidding. A projected hologram with no silver halide coated
plates, no photo polymer film.

DANIEL: Actually, I was talking about what's being projected. It's like a
family tree of the ancient Egyptian gods.

JACOB: Actually, of the Goa'uld System Lords.

DANIEL: Ra, Apophis, Hathor, Heru'Ur.

TEAL'C: The symbol of Setesh is oscillating.

DANIEL: That is the symbol for Setesh.

JACOB: Have you met him Teal'c?

TEAL'C: I have met descendants of his Jaffa.

O'NEILL: All right. Who's this Setesh fella?

DANIEL: Otherwise known as Setekh, Set, Seti, Seth. Ancient Egyptian god of
chaos. The embodiment of hostility and outright evil.

HAMMOND: Why haven't we heard of him before?

DANIEL: Well I'm guessing we haven't even scratched the surface on meeting
all the Goa'uld System Lords. There's probably thousands we haven't even
heard of, right?

JACOB: Only dozens at the ranks of System Lords. Thousands of Goa'ulds in
general.

CARTER: What makes you think we would have met this one?

JACOB: The Tok'ra council has been taking a Goa'uld census of sorts. Where
the System Lords are positioning themselves, what domain they rule, who
serves under them, that sort of thing. But there's one Goa'uld we've lost
track of.

O'NEILL: Seth?

JACOB: Our record of him ends when the Earth's Gate was buried in ancient
Egypt.

CARTER: Are you saying he never left?

JACOB: That's our theory. We think he still might be here, hiding among
Earth's people.


TITLES

O'NEILL: All right, we'll be cuttin' to the chase on this one. You want us
to help you find this snakehead who, if he's here at all, would be hiding in
one of 6 billion people on Earth?

JACOB: Yes.

CARTER: How do you know he's still alive?

DANIEL: He's alive if he has a sarcophagus.

JACOB: Or if he changes hosts every 400 years or so.

HAMMOND: But if he were here, why wouldn't he have tried to get at the
Stargate some time between when it was buried and now? Or why wouldn't he
try to take over the Earth like Ra did?

JACOB: Seth had a hefty price on his head-he tried to overthrow Ra. Now the
System Lords wanted him dead, as did the Tok'ra. We believe if he's still
here it's because he's using Earth as a place to hideout. He wishes to
remain hidden among you.

O'NEILL: Kinda gives "needle in a haystack" a whole new meaning.

JACOB: Well I know it's a long shot.

DANIEL: Not necessarily. Remember Setesh is a Goa'uld.

O'NEILL: Yeah?

TEAL'C: As a Goa'uld he will never lose his thirst for power.

DANIEL: And they do have a pretty common MO for getting that power.

TEAL'C: False religion.

DANIEL: Which shrinks the proverbial haystack considerably. Let me do some
homework, track him through archaeological and historical record.

HAMMOND: Do it.


Corridor

Sam and Jacob are walking down steps to the elevator.

CARTER: So Dad, you don't really think we have a chance of finding this Goa'
uld, do you?

JACOB: It's the mission Garshaw assigned me.

CARTER: You didn't request it? Dad?

JACOB: Why would I request it?

CARTER: C'mon! Would it be so awful to admit you just wanted a chance to see
me?

JACOB: Of course not- you're right. That's why I requested it.

CARTER: Okay, so that's obviously not the reason. What's going on?

SELMAK: It is I who requested the assignment.

CARTER: Selmak!

SELMAK: Nice to see you once again Captain Carter.

CARTER: Likewise. So let me ask you the same question.

SELMAK: Your father has an unresolved issue here on your planet, and frankly
it's beginning to irritate me.

CARTER: Mark.

SELMAK: Your father's a proud man. He refuses to seek out your brother and
mend the relationship.

CARTER: Yeah, well Mark isn't exactly rushing into my father's arms either.
Even when we thought Dad was gonna die, he wouldn't take my call.

SELMAK: It hurt your father deeply when his son didn't come to him on his
deathbed.

JACOB: Now why would it hurt? As far as I was concerned the kid wasn't my
son any more. It didn't hurt a bit.

CARTER: Dad. I have a number for Mark in San Diego.

JACOB: So?

CARTER: I just thought you might wanna know.

JACOB: When was the last time you saw him?

CARTER: I haven't seen him since either of his kids were born. I guess he
paints me with the same brush he does you.

JACOB: Well, Selmak's pushing me to go mend some fences.

CARTER: I guess Selmak is as wise as they say. I'll go with you. When do you
wanna do it?

JACOB: I didn't say I'd go. I just said Selmak's pushing it.

They reach Daniel's lab.

JACOB: So what's the bad news?

TEAL'C: On the contrary. We have good news.

CARTER: You do?

DANIEL: I did a time line Boolean search for religion, cult, Set, Setesh,
Setekh, Seth..

O'NEILL: Yadda.

DANIEL: And here's what I found. It appears there's been a cult of Setesh
throughout history in one form or another since around 1000 BC.

CARTER: What is that?

DANIEL: Oh yeah, that. Well Setesh was represented by an animal that was
either fictitious or now extinct. Most likely the former, rather than the
latter since anthropologists haven't discovered any fossils to point to a
species like this ever existing.

TEAL'C: Because the creature represents Setesh, the helmets of the Setesh
guard have continued to be the source of many jokes among the jaffa.

O'NEILL: Jaffa jokes? Let's hear one of them.

TEAL'C: I shall attempt to translate one O'Neill. A serpent guard, a Horus
guard and a Setesh guard meet on a neutral planet. It is a tense moment. The
serpent guard's eyes glow. The Horus guard's beak glistens. The Setesh guard
's nose drips.

Teal'c bursts into laughter and the others just stare at him.

DANIEL: Okay. After Set was supposedly killed in ancient Egypt along with
all his minions, a similar god showed up in Greece called Typhon. Similar
back-stories and domains. Another fictitious animal representation. In one
of Typhon's last legends he killed three hundred followers and then
disappeared from Greece. Now at that point he seemed to have vanished from
recorded history until I found this. A new cult arose in England in the
early 1800's, strangely enough near the location of Stonehenge. The cult had
an enigmatic leader called Seth. They were constantly under attack by the
Christians and this is the important part. Seth's worshippers, all of them,
were found dead, having slit their own throats. But Seth's body was never
found.

O'NEILL: Guy liked to leave a lot of dead bodies behind.

CARTER: Did you lose the scent there?

DANIEL: I thought so, until on a whim, I did a search on the US Government's
classified net in case the CIA had a record of something, somewhere. And
guess what came up on the ATF page. A cult whose leader is named Seth. Just
north of Seattle. The ATF are investigating him now because they've become
so heavily armed and fortified. This guy has about 50 followers who are all
apparently ready to die for him.

JACOB: You mean to say you actually found this guy?

CARTER: How do we know he's our Goa'uld?

DANIEL: Deprogrammed ex members of the cult describe Seth as having magical
powers and the ability to heal. They also claim he's murdered several
members in front of the others. Here's the best part. "Several independent
reports have stated that the cult leader can make his own eyes glow.

SG1 and Jacob fly in and drive up a road following another car.

SHERIFF: That's the place. Main building's about three-quarters of a mile up
that drive. I sure hope you can shut these guys down. I had a lot of parents
come into my office- they lost their kids to this nut. I haven't got the
manpower, or the, uh what you'd call probable cause that you federal types
do.

O'NEILL: Well, we'll do what we can Sheriff. Appreciate you lettin' us look
around.

RADIO: Sheriff. We got a fight breaking out down at Earl's.

SHERIFF: Duty calls. Now, uh looks like you don't need me getting' in your
way. Gimme a call if you need me.

O'NEILL: Will do.

A man who has been camping out in a field walks up.

JASON: You people the FBI?

O'NEILL: No. Who are you?

JASON: The name's Jason Levinson. I've been camping down here for the past
month hoping to catch a glimpse of my boy, Tommy. At least know he's still
alive. He's been in there nine months now. You folks deprogrammers? You
gotta be good. The guy I hired got shot in the leg trying to get in there.

O'NEILL: So they've got some armed guards is what you're saying?

JASON: A lot of them. What's that damn small town sheriff do about it?
Nothing. Not a damn thing. (To Jacob) You're the father aren't you? Your boy
's in there.

JACOB: No, no. You've got that wrong. My son isn't in there.

JASON: Uh huh. How much would you tack on to get my boy out the same time as
his?

O'NEILL: You help us. We might be able to help you.

JASON: I'm with you sir.

O'NEILL: That won't be necessary, but we could use any information you might
have. What your guy did, where he went in, where he got caught, that kind of
stuff.

JASON: You got it. The fence is in the wide open and most of the property.
But I'll show you a brush cover if you wanna go in.

TEAL'C: O'Neill. We are being surveilled.

O'NEILL: Yeah, I saw 'em. It's probably FBI. Maybe ATF.

Jack lights something that takes out the fence covertly.

JASON: You guys are prepared. I'm goin' with you.

DANIEL: I think it'd be safer for everyone if you wait for us here.

SG1 and Jacob go through the hole in the fence and go over a hill to see
what is going on. Jack and Sam get out their binoculars and spy on the
people outside the house.

O'NEILL: AK 47's, a couple of Uzis. Anyone think they observed the requisite
15-day waiting period for those weapons?

CARTER: Sir, they're side arms. I think it's safe to say there's a Goa'uld
there. And, it looks like a pair of 50 cals.

O'NEILL: Does the concept of overkill mean anything to anybody? Let's fall
back to the RV point.

The team nears the fence where they came in.

HAMNER: Lower your weapons!

O'NEILL: I was wondering when you folks were gonna show. We got bets- I say
FBI, they say ATF.

HAMNER: Special Agent James Hamner, ATF.

O'NEILL: Damn!

Sg1 are driven back to where the ATF have set up.

HAMNER: General. Wanna tell me what interest the Air Force has here?

O'NEILL: That would be classified.

HAMNER: This way, gentlemen. Are you guys special forces?

O'NEILL: Also classified.

HAMNER: I was talking to your commanding officer.

JACOB: He's right. It's classified.

HAMNER: I have top level clearance.

O'NEILL: Oh, not top enough.

HAMNER: You have a rather insubordinate subordinate, General.

JACOB: He's not insubordinate to me. Only to people such as yourself. Saves
me the trouble. Now maybe you could tell us what you and your cohorts are
planning here.

HAMNER: This compound is owned by a cult. It's run by a charming guy who
goes by the name Seth Fargough. We've recently acquired intelligence to
confirm they have a hoard of prohibited weaponry here.

O'NEILL: That's a mighty fine intelligence you got there.

JACOB: So what do you plan to do?

HAMNER: Surround the compound and negotiate, try to get 'em to come out
peacefully.

DANIEL: You have no idea what you're dealing with.

HAMNER: And I suppose you do?

DANIEL: As a matter of fact.

HAMNER: Great! Then why don't you tell me?

O'NEILL: Uh, that would be classified as well.

HAMNER: Fine! Well I'll tell you what. The United States Air Force has not
been invited to participate in this operation therefore you're out of your
jurisdiction. Therefore I'm ordering you all to leave, or I'll have you
arrested.

JACOB: This is a secure phone, isn't it? Can we use it to place one call?

HAMNER: Why not?

JACOB: Thank you. Colonel?


Outside

DANIEL: Jack, based on Seth's history if these guys go in guns blazing, he's
gonna kill everyone in there.

O'NEILL: Jacob, can we assume some kind of brainwashing is going on in
there?

JACOB: It's probably Nish'ta. It's a biological compound that inhaled
infects all tissue in you body, including your brain. It tends to make your
mind extremely pliable.

DANIEL: That's like what Hathor used.

JACOB: It's stronger. It's more encompassing.

TEAL'C: I believe that is the substance used on Rya'c.

O'NEILL: Can it be reversed?

JACOB: Nish'ta does have an Achilles heel. Once its effects are reversed, it
can't reinfect a host. They become immune.

DANIEL: Okay, well, how do we reverse it?

JACOB: There's only one way: an electrical shock. Strong enough to kill the
organism, but weak enough not to kill the host.

TEAL'C: That is why it worked when I shot Rya'c with a zat'n'ktel.

O'NEILL: Then we go in with zats.

DANIEL: Well it's not going to be very covert that way. And, like I said,
any kind of frontal attack is gonna be a problem.

CARTER: Daniel's right Sir. Besides, with all the firepower he's got, we
wouldn't stand much of a chance anyway.


ATF Tent

The phone is ringing. Hamner goes to answer it.

HAMNER: Hamner. Yes, Mr President. Yes Sir, I am the SRO. Yes Sir, they are
here, sir, but. With respect Sir, the jurisdictional rules in this case are
clear. This is a civilian matter. Are you sure you wanna do that Sir? Yes Mr
President.

Get Colonel O'Neill in here.

O'NEILL: Something I can do for you?

HAMNER: You wanna tell me what's going on?

O'NEILL: Didn't you say you know more than I do?

HAMNER: Well apparently not. I just got off the phone with the President.

O'NEILL: Of the United States of America? Sweet. How's he doin'?

HAMNER: He seems to have a thing for you.

O'NEILL: Yeah well, you know.

HAMNER: In fact, I'm to issue you an emergency special agent credential. He'
s put you in charge of this operation.

O'NEILL: Excellent! My first order of business: Get me one of those cool
jackets! Extra large. Double X-L if you got it.

HAMNER: You wanna tell me why the Air Force cares so much about this cult?

O'NEILL: Wanna do me a favour? On your way out, send my team in.

HAMNER: Your team. It's an odd bunch of people Colonel. Civilian scientists.
This Seth guy got some kind of secret weapon you don't want the world to
know about?

O'NEILL: All right, listen. Since you have clearance, I'll throw you a bone.
Seth and his boys got their hands on some top-secret technology, that we
would prefer not fall into the public consciousness just yet. Comprehend?

HAMNER: Yeah.

O'NEILL: Good. Now you've heard of classified.

HAMNER: You got it.

O'NEILL: Thank you.

Hamner leaves and SG1 and Jacob walk in.

CARTER: Did General Hammond get the President involved Sir?

O'NEILL: Oh yeah! He's put me in charge here for the time being.

TEAL'C: What do you suggest O'Neill?

O'NEILL: Well, I'm thinkin' we need to get in there.

CARTER: Okay, how?

O'NEILL: Floor's open.

DANIEL: Well I was thinking about that. If Seth's MO hasn't changed from his
history, we know certain things from digs in Giza and the Valley of the
Kings.

CARTER: We do?

DANIEL: For example, many Egyptian leaders built their compounds with
underground escape tunnels.

TEAL'C: That is correct. Apophis had them built into his facilities.

CARTER: Okay, so we should do a perimeter search outside the fence and look
for those tunnel entrances.

O'NEILL: That's a lot of territory. We'll have Mr Hamner's men help us.

Everyone is looking around for the tunnel entrances with metal detectors.

TEAL'C: O'Neill!

CARTER: Okay, we've got a point of entry now what? As soon as we get near
anyone on the inside we could get compromised and shot.

DANIEL: Or worse, we get dosed with that organism and all of a sudden we're
working for Seth.

JACOB: It won't work on me or Teal'c.

CARTER: Yeah, but he'll sense your Goa'ulds as soon as you're within 50
feet. With the arsenal he's got we wouldn't even get close to him without
being gunned down.

O'NEILL: Which is why you're not going in.

CARTER: Dad, you said an electrical shock, like a zat gun, would snap us out
of it?

JACOB: Yeah?

CARTER: Sir, I think I have an idea.

SG1 is back in the tent where Sam is fixing earpieces to give them an
electrical shock.

HAMNER: Gimme a test count.

DANIEL: One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, Three Mississippi, Four
Mississippi, Five Mississippi.

O'NEILL: Carter?

CARTER: It'll work Sir, assuming Dad's right.

O'NEILL: Dad?

JACOB: If the jolt is big enough it'll work. But you have to stay under the
Nish'ta's control long enough for it to spread through all your tissues
otherwise it will regain a stronghold in your bold.

HAMNER: Gimme a ten count. (To Jack)

O'NEILL: Uh, one, two, three, four, five.

HAMNER: That's good. You ready for yours Captain?

CARTER: One second. Okay, Teal'c push the button.

Teal'c tests the earpieces.

DANIEL: Aargh!

O'NEILL: Hey! Okay?

CARTER: Okay. Wire me.

Jack, Sam and Daniel go to the manhole cover and climb down.


The Tunnels

CARTER: So Daniel, you feel pretty certain that if we get caught, he'll turn
us into one of those zombies rather than kill us?

DANIEL: Well we're more valuable to him that way.

CARTER: Why? How do you think he'll use us?

DANIEL: Well, historically he used women as a harem. They catered to his
every whim and as a result they were well cared for.

CARTER: Super.

DANIEL: And the men outside the main court were used mostly as warriors and
guards protecting his compound, pretty much doing his bidding.

O'NEILL: Dare I ask about the men inside the compound?

DANIEL: They were turned into eunuchs.

O'NEILL: Eunuchs as in "snippety-doo-dah"? Sweet.

Jack opens the door they have come to.

O'NEILL: Daniel?

DANIEL: What?

O'NEILL: Now what?

DANIEL: Why are you asking me?

CARTER: Well, y.. you knew there'd be tunnels, so.

DANIEL: Well, in the digs there were stairs leading up to the main
structure.

Jack, Sam and Daniel are suddenly ringed up.

O'NEILL: I hate it when that happens.

They are disarmed.

SETH: Welcome! Who are you?

O'NEILL: Well, I'm Larry, this is Moe and, of course, everyone's favourite,
Curly.

SETH: Say goodbye to your impure military past. We're always happy to
welcome new disciples to the bliss that only Seth can bestow.

He activates his hand device and a vapour comes out of a statue enveloping
SG1.

O'NEILL: So help me, if I wake up and I'm singing soprano.

They collapse.


Sam is lying on a bed asleep.

WOMAN: Welcome, disciple. How are you feeling?

CARTER: Okay. Pretty good.

WOMAN: Good. Do you feel strong enough to begin service of your god Seth?

CARTER: Yes, of course.

WOMAN: This way.

They walk out.


ATF Tent

TEAL'C: They are awake. Shall I activate the devices?

SELMAK: No. We must wait to be sure that the Nish'ta has permeated their
tissues before negating it.

TEAL'C: How long?

SELMAK: About an hour. It's a smart virus. If there's any unaffected tissue
remaining in the body it will give the organism a safe harbour in which to
mutate. Then it will overtake your body once again.

JASON: Excuse me. Mind if I watch? I mean my son's in there. I just wanna be
involved.

JACOB: I'm afraid I can't let you in here sir. I'm sorry.

JASON: Yeah, figured. Grab a cup of coffee?

JACOB: Sure, go ahead.

He tips the coffee over himself.

JASON: Ow!

Teal'c stands up.

JASON: Sorry. Sorry. It won't happen again. I've just been kinda short fused
since I found out about Tommy.

TEAL'C: I understand.

JASON: I had to find out from his college roommate cos, uh, Tommy and me
hadn't been talking for something like six months before they sucked him in.

TEAL'C: I do not understand. How could a father not speak to his son for so
long a time?

JASON: Yeah, that's the funny thing about it: I don't even remember why.
Obviously something pretty stupid in the scheme of things. I'll get out of
your hair.

TEAL'C: Do human parents not love their children unconditionally?

JACOB: Sometimes things get complicated.

TEAL'C: Many things are complicated, General Carter. In Jaffa society,
loving one's children is not one of them.

JACOB: In human society, sometimes it is.


Seth's compound

Jack and Daniel are brought before Seth where Sam already is.

Seth approves them and they go to clean some weapons.

SETH: With these weapons I have provided we will defend against any
incursion by the impure forces outside our gate. Let no other gods draw you
away from Seth.

ALL: Seth is life. Seth is happiness. Seth is almighty.

SETH: Again!

ALL: Seth is life. Seth is happiness. Seth is almighty.

SETH Again!

ALL: Seth is life. Seth is happiness. Seth is almighty.

Seth grabs Sam.

SETH: You were once blended. Were you not?!

CARTER: Blended?

SETH: No entry marks. But still..I sense a trace. Bring me those who came
with her!


ATF Tent

TEAL'C: General Carter, there is a problem.

HAMNER: What?

JACOB: It's nothing we can't handle.

HAMNER: He made your people didn't he?

JACOB: We don't know yet.


Seth's Compound

SETH: Who sent you? The System Lords? The Tok'ra? I am your god! You will
tell me what I want to know! Who does your military work for? The System
Lords or the Tok'ra?

CARTER: I have a vague recollection of what you're talking about. The Tok'
ra.


ATF Tent

TEAL'C: Is it not time enough?

SELMAK: No choice. Do it now!


Seth's compound

The earpieces give the team an electric shock.

O'NEILL: We work for a deprogrammer who hired us to come remove one of your
disciples.

DANIEL: But now we are enjoying the bliss that is Seth.

SETH: How is it possible that you enjoy the bliss when you are able to lie
to Seth?

TOMMY: My Lord, the impure forces that you have prophesied are surrounding
the compound.

SETH: You will pay eternally for bringing this down upon us. Take them and
kill them.

TOMMY: Go!

Sg1 are herded out by Tommy.

O'NEILL: A quick question about old Seth.

Jack grabs his weapon and Sam grabs his zat gun and zats him.

TOMMY: What happened?

CARTER: It's okay, we're here to help you.


The ATF appear to be ready to storm the compound.


Seth's Compound

Seth and his flunkies go to a room full of weapons and bombs.

SETH: We must distribute them all over the compound. We cannot allow the
impure access to all we have built up here.

Sam, Jack and Daniel go with Tommy to another room.

DANIEL: Um, Daniel.

TOMMY: Tom.

O'NEILL: Levinson?

TOMMY: Yeah. Uh, I'm really confused. Who are you?

DANIEL: We're friends of your father.


O'NEILL: Where are the zats?

TOMMY: Zats?

CARTER: These.

Tom opens a cupboard which turns out to be full of zats.

CARTER: Now, can you activate those transport rings?

TOMMY: I think so.

O'NEILL: Tom, I need you to start transporting people outta here. Can you
handle that?

TOMMY: I.. I guess.

O'NEILL: Good.

Outside the Compound

HAMNER: I have to prepare for the worst. If your people have been
compromised and I don't act, it's on me if they get killed.

JACOB: It won't be on you, it'll be on me.

TEAL'C: It will reside on me also.


Seth's compound

Sam, Jack, Daniel enter the main room and zat everybody in there.

O'NEILL: Go!

They start to pick them up.

O'NEILL: Carter! Go with 'em. Make sure they get outta here.

The first lot are ringed down.

Hidden entrance to the compound

HAMNER: Okay, I think I've been very patient.

People start to come up the manhole.

HAMNER: Let's get all the medical teams up here stat! Get some blankets and
shoes! Come on you guys, get in here!


Underground

Carter rings down with another lot.

CARTER: Okay! C'mon, let's go! This way! C'mon!

Compound building

Jack sends the last people down until Seth arrives with heavily armed
members of the cult.

SETH: How dare you challenge the power that is Seth?

Jack and Daniel zat the guards but Seth activates his personal force shield.
Teal'c hears shots and runs out of the van. Seth raises his hand device and
throws Jack and Daniel back. He then activates a bomb and leaves it neat to
them. Taking off his coat and pulling up his hood he rings down. Jack and
Daniel wake up and see the bomb.

DANIEL: Bomb?

O'NEILL: Bomb.

Manhole entrance

JASON: Tommy? Tommy.

Tommy climbs up holding onto his father's hand and then hugs him.

TEAL'C: General Carter! Our friends have been neutralised. I must go in. I
believe Selmak would be of help.

HAMNER: Who's Selmak?

JACOB: It's a long story.

Jacob climbs in. The rings come down with Jack and Daniel and explode just
after they materialise. They start to pull down hoods to see where Seth has
gone.

O'NEILL: This way!

JACOB: Teal'c! Stay outside and cover the other ends. Make sure he doesn't
get out another way.

CARTER: Dad? Where are you going?

JACOB: Setesh used a hand device on Colonel O'Neill and Daniel. Are you
okay?

CARTER: I'm fine.

O'NEILL: Carter! He's down here!

Jacob and Sam walk towards Jack and Daniel. One person seems to turn away
and Jacob walks past him. He then turns and pulls down his hood.

SELMAK: Setesh!

SETH: Tok'ra kree chok!

He throws Jacob across into a crowd of people.

CARTER: Dad!

SELMAK: Your father will survive. Stop Seth.

CARTER: How? I can't control this.

SELMAK: You have the will within you. You must summon it.

Sam puts the device on.

CARTER: Hey!

Seth lifts his hand device but Sam is quicker and throws him across the
room. Jack and Daniel see what is going on and follow them. Sam kneels in
front of Seth and he tries to life his hand device again. Sam is again
quicker and kills him. Jack and Daniel arrive and Sam looks up.

DANIEL: You killed him.

O'NEILL: Hail Dorothy

Sam walks off.


San Diego

Sam and Jacob walk up to a house and Sam hugs Jacob. He goes to knock on the
door and a man opens it. Jacob goes to hug him and then hugs his
granddaughter. Sam hugs Mark and they all go inside.

Episode 44 - "Into The Fire"

SGC GATEROOM

Colonel MAKEPEACE exits the STARGATE and rushes out of the Gateroom.

SERGEANT: (over intercom) Welcome back Colonel MAKEPEACE. Your briefing is
scheduled for 14.30 hours.

MAKEPEACE: Make a hole! (He dodges past SG personnel as he enters the
Control Room.) I need to find General HAMMOND!

SERGEANT: He's in his office.

MAKEPEACE heads up the stairs.

INT - SGC, HAMMOND'S OFFICE

General HAMMOND is speaking with Major DAVIS.

HAMMOND: What we need is support for three new teams. It's a big galaxy out
there, Major.

He is cut off as MAKEPEACE rushes in.

MAKEPEACE: Sir!

HAMMOND: Colonel MAKEPEACE, I'm sure you remember Major DAVIS.

MAKEPEACE: Yes Sir, I apologize. When scouting 254, Sir, we came across
several members of the Tok'ra. They told us the location of SG1.

HAMMOND: Where are they, Colonel?

MAKEPEACE: They've been taken prisoner Sir.by HATHOR.

OPENING CREDITS

SGC, HAMMOND'S OFFICE

MAKEPEACE spreads a blueprint across HAMMOND'S desk.

HAMMOND: Colonel, why do I get the feeling I'm looking at blueprints to my
own base?

MAKEPEACE: Well in a way you are, Sir. The entire section of the facility is
a mock-up of the SGC.

HAMMOND: It's damned peculiar.

MAKEPEACE: Well unlike Cheyenne Mountain, the Tok'ra say the exterior of the
base is unguarded. We shouldn't face any resistance until we're already in
the facility, and even then it will be light.

DAVIS: Can we trust them? The.Tok'ra?

MAKEPEACE: Their operative on the inside took a big risk just to get us this
information, Sir. I think so.

DAVIS: If they have someone on the inside, why can't they do something?

HAMMOND: They did do something, Major. (To MAKEPEACE) You have the
coordinates?

MAKEPEACE: Yes Sir. My team is ready to go.

HAMMOND: And you will, but not alone. SERGEANT, I'd like you to get me the
President on the phone.

SERGEANT: Yes Sir.

HAMMOND: I want every available SG team ready to deploy in the Gateroom
within 2 hours.

MAKEPEACE: Yes Sir.

DAVIS: Sir, do you intend to commit the resources of this entire command?

HAMMOND: I only wish we could. Nearly half of our teams are off world right
now on other missions.

DAVIS: General, that's not my point. SG1 is a valuable asset, but they're
still just one team.

HAMMOND: Major, you've got a lot to learn about how we do things round here.

SERGEANT: I have the President for you, Sir.

HAMMOND: (to MAKEPEACE) Let's get the job done.


SGC GATEROOM

The STARGATE opens.

TECHNICIAN: .telemetry, tactical is go. Environmental is go.

The Gateroom is full of SG soldiers, armed and ready to go. HAMMOND,
standing on the STARGATE'S ramp, turns to address the gathered units.

HAMMOND: You've all been briefed on the mission by Colonel MAKEPEACE. You
know the enemy, you know the risks. What I'm trying to say is, I would
rather not order you to do this. So, I would like all of those willing to
attempt a rescue of SG1 to take one step.

He is cut off as every soldier present takes one step forward.

HAMMOND: Very well. SG units three, five, six and eleven.bring them home.

Colonel MAKEPEACE walks up the ramp and HAMMOND salutes him.

HAMMOND: Good luck Colonel.

MAKEPEACE: Yes Sir. (He turns to the soldiers and signals for them to head
through the STARGATE.) Alright let's go, move out!


HATHOR'S PYRAMID, FALSE GATEROOM

The sound of the squealing Goa'uld can be heard. HATHOR is still holding the
writhing creature.

HATHOR: We ask you once more. Which one of you shall be host to our new
friend?

O'NEILL: (to CARTER) He has her eyes.

HATHOR: Silence! (She comes before DANIEL, stroking his face.) Shall it
be.our Beloved? We could spend an eternity together. Do you not remember the
joys that we once shared in one another's arms?

DANIEL: I really try not to.

HATHOR: (moves to stand before CARTER.) Shall it be the female then? She who
would challenge us? (She pauses) You have since been possessed by a Goa'uld,
we sense. Perhaps once more?

CARTER: I'm not afraid.

HATHOR: You should be, my dear, for the pain a symbiote can inflict in its
host is unimaginable.

The Goa'uld in HATHOR'S hand lunges at O'NEILL, hissing.

HATHOR: It seems that our friend has chosen.

O'NEILL: (to the Goa'uld) What, the grey doesn't bother you? Alright, fine,
let's do it. Just, please, I beg of you, not in the back of the neck, I've
got some problems.

He makes a grab for the Goa'uld, but RALEIGH shoots him with her Zat.

HATHOR: (to RALEIGH) Fool!

RALEIGH: He would have harmed the symbiote.

HATHOR: Which you have done in his place! Return it to the safety of the
Jaffa. (She looks down at O'NEILL, who is still stunned.) Take him somewhere
where he can be properly restrained.

HATHOR'S PLANET, STARGATE CLEARING (DAY)

MAKEPEACE: (He orders his own team to remain with the STARGATE.) Alright,
hold the fort.

MARINE: Yes Sir.

The SG units begin to cross the open ground, heading for the tree line.

MAKEPEACE: What have you got?

LIEUTENANT: Picking up EM approximately one click away, Sir. Probably power
generation. No sign of SG1's IFM or radio chatter.

MAKEPEACE: Roger that, LIEUTENANT.

CHULAK (NIGHT)

TEAL'C enters BRA'TAC'S darkened house to find it ravaged. He is attacked by
an injured BRA'TAC before the older Jaffa recognizes him.

BRA'TAC: TEAL'C. You grant a dying, old man's wish.

TEAL'C: Do not speak of such things.

He gives BRA'TAC some water.

TEAL'C: Who has done this?

BRA'TAC: The last of APOPHIS' personal guard. They left me for dead.

TEAL'C: For what reason?

BRA'TAC: When I heard the new of APOPHIS, my heart soared TEAL'C. I hoped
there would be celebration among our people. Instead, they fear that with
the death of APOPHIS, KLOREL will return to claim his inheritance.

TEAL'C: They are cowards.

BRA'TAC: In too great a number for an old man of 135. What of your human
friends?

TEAL'C: Prisoners of a Goa'uld. I have come to raise an army with which to
free them.

BRA'TAC: That will not be so easy, TEAL'C.

TEAL'C: Perhaps. But I must try. Until then, you are in need of food and
rest. And I am in need of armor.


HATHOR'S PYRAMID, CRYOGENICS ROOM

O'NEILL is strapped down in one of the cryogenic tanks.

HATHOR: We are not pleased.

O'NEILL: Neither are we.

HATHOR: (HATHOR viciously yanks out O'NEILL'S memory device.) Once host to a
Goa'uld, you will take the lives of your friends. (She spares a glance at
DANIEL and CARTER.)

O'NEILL: We don't think so.

HATHOR: You will have no say in the matter. You will witness their deaths
through your own eyes.helplessly. (She reaches down and tears open his
shirt.) It may take some time for the Goa'uld to take control. But we will
greatly enjoy experiencing your eventual defeat. (She takes the Goa'uld out
of the Jaffa and places it on O'NEILL'S chest.)

O'NEILL: Oh god, no.

HATHOR: And when you awaken from the joining, you will kneel and pledge your
loyalty to us.

The Goa'uld enters the back of O'NEILL'S neck, while DANIEL and CARTER can
only look on helplessly.

O'NEILL: God!

The discharge of a Staff Weapon, followed by gunfire, is heard throughout
the pyramid.

HATHOR: (to TROFSKY) Jaffa, kree'mel!

DANIEL and CARTER are led away.


HATHOR'S PYRAMID, CORRIDOR

The SG units shoot an enemy Jaffa, before advancing.

MAKEPEACE: Over there, over there! Secure the forward area.


HATHOR'S PYRAMID, CRYOGENICS ROOM

HATHOR: (to RALEIGH) Jaffa, lok shak kelmak a kree!

After HATHOR has left with her Jaffa guards, RALEIGH hurries over to the
control panel and makes some adjustments, before returning to O'NEILL, still
trapped in the cryogenic tank.

RALEIGH: O'NEILL, you must fight it! (She turns his face to hers.) I am Tok'
ra. The cryogenic process will prevent the melding, the Goa'uld within will
die, but until then you must fight.

She closes the lid on the cryogenic tank.


HATHOR'S PYRAMID, CORRIDOR

The SG units open fire on a group of enemy Jaffa. A SG soldier is a hit.
MAKEPEACE sees TROFSKY arrive with reinforcements, and opens fire on the Goa
'uld.

MAKEPEACE: Three o'clock, three o'clock!

The SG units kill the Jaffa and TROFSKY retreats. MAKEPEACE'S rescue team
enters the fake Gateroom.

MAKEPEACE: Yeah, there's no place like home. Alright, area secured. Let's
move out!


HATHOR'S PYRAMID, CORRIDOR

A lone Jaffa is escorting DANIEL and CARTER. MAKEPEACE and the rescue team
move out from their alcoves and aim their weapons at the Jaffa.

MAKEPEACE: Surrender you prisoners and drop your weapon. Now!

CARTER hits the Jaffa in the stomach, while DANIEL knocks their captor's
weapon away. They dive out of the way as the SG units open fire, killing the
Jaffa guard. CARTER quickly gets to her feet and approaches the rescue team.

CARTER: Colonel MAKEPEACE.

MAKEPEACE: Where's Colonel O'NEILL?

CARTER: He's been taken as a host.

MAKEPEACE: (looks at her in shock.) What?


HATHOR'S PYRAMID, CRYOGENICS ROOM

The tank containing O'NEILL is lowered into the icy pit, as RALEIGH looks
on. HATHOR suddenly appears and confronts RALEIGH.

HATHOR: Jaffa kree!

RALEIGH: Kel'noc shree Jaffa! I am of the Tok'ra. If the Tau'ri do not
destroy you, know this.we will!

HATHOR uses a ribbon device on RALEIGH, throwing her against the wall.


HATHOR'S PLANET, STARGATE CLEARING (DAY)

MAKEPEACE'S team are patrolling the STARGATE clearing.

MARINE: (into his radio) All secure here, Sir. Whenever you're ready.


HATHOR'S PYRAMID, CORRIDOR

MAKEPEACE: Stand by. We're pulling out. ETA is 5 minutes.

HATHOR'S PLANET, STARGATE CLEARING (DAY)

The MARINE guarding the STARGATE watches as the ground starts to glow and a
set of transport rings appear.

MARINE: Sir, there's something happening back here!


HATHOR'S PYRAMID, CORRIDOR

MAKEPEACE: Razor, come in Razor. SG3 we have lost radio contact, please
respond.

CARTER: What's the situation?

MAKEPEACE: My team was covering the STARGATE. LIEUTENANT, pass the word, we'
re moving out.

DANIEL: Wait! What about Jack?

MAKEPEACE: He's a casualty.

CARTER: Sir, if we can get him back to Earth.

MAKEPEACE: Captain, if my team has lost control of the STARGATE, we're not
going anywhere. Now let's go people. We're pulling out, let's go!


CHULAK (NIGHT)

A PRIESTESS, with two Jaffa guards, looks on as TEAL'C approaches.

PRIESTESS: I know you. Shova, you dare return to Chulak?

TEAL'C: The people of this world are my brothers and sisters. I have
betrayed no one.

PRIESTESS: Except your god.

TEAL'C: False god. (short pause) Dead, false god.

PRIESTESS: So you say. But his son lives.

TEAL'C: With you or without, he will be defeated, as was his father. Our
people will taste freedom.

PRIESTESS: BRA'TAC paid a heavy price for those words.

The PRIESTESS' guards move threateningly towards TEAL'C. Angry, TEAL'C
quickly defeats them, then turns to the PRIESTESS.

TEAL'C: You may tell your kinsmen that TEAL'C has returned to Chulak! You
will go to every home, of every warrior in this city. You will tell them
that I will speak at the house of BRA'TAC at dawn. Summon them!

The PRIESTESS runs off.


HATHOR'S PLANET, STARGATE CLEARING (NIGHT)

MAKEPEACE scans the STARGATE clearing through his binoculars.

MAKEPEACE: No sign of my men.

CARTER: Or the enemy.

MAKEPEACE signals for the rescue team to move out. They cautiously cross the
open ground, heading towards the STARGATE. An SG soldier is suddenly thrown
back as he hits an invisible barrier. The barrier, which briefly flares
blue, prevents any of the units from approaching the STARGATE.

MAKEPEACE: Cover your flank! (On the STARGATE platform, transport rings
shoot up out of the ground, revealing TROFSKY and a handful of Jaffa.) Open
fire!

CARTER and DANIEL duck and cover their ears as the SG units open fire, but
fail to penetrate the barrier.

MAKEPEACE: What the hell is it?

CARTER: It's an energy barrier. We won't penetrate it.

TROFSKY: Jaffa, ha'tak.

MAKEPEACE: Fall back! Fall back! (A giant turret shoots up out of the
ground, manned by a single Jaffa, cutting off the rescue team's escape. It
is quickly followed by a second turret, which targets MAKEPEACE.) Into the
tree line!

The turrets open fire on the retreating SG units. An energy blast from one
of the turrets kills an SG soldier and knocks DANIEL off his feet. CARTER
goes back for her fallen teammate, who is looking at the dead soldier in
stunned shock.

CARTER: DANIEL! DANIEL, let's go!

MAKEPEACE: (MAKEPEACE, under fire, discovers a tunnel.) This way, this way!
To me!


HATHOR'S PLANET, TUNNELS

The SG rescue team, along with DANIEL and CARTER take shelter in the tunnel.

MAKEPEACE: Secure that flank, secure that flank! (An SG soldier falls into
the tunnel.) Is anybody behind you?

SOLDIER: No!

CARTER: These are Tok'ra tunnels.

MAKEPEACE: They have an operative on the inside.

CARTER: Who is it?

MAKEPEACE: Don't know, don't expect to find out anytime soon either. (He
glances at DANIEL, who has been injured.) How's the leg.can you walk?

DANIEL: It's just a deep, bleeding gash, but it'll be fine.

MAKEPEACE: (into his radio) Sierra Gulf Six, Sierra Gulf Six, this is Three
Niner, come in.

CARTER: They could have made the tree line.

MAKEPEACE: Yeah, maybe.

CARTER: If we can't penetrate this barrier of theirs, maybe we can go under
it.

MAKEPEACE: It's worth a try.


HATHOR'S PLANET, STARGATE CLEARING (NIGHT)

TROFSKY is reporting to HATHOR through a communication device. HATHOR'S
image is held in the device.

TROFSKY: They have fled into tunnels of Tok'ra construction. There must be a
spy amongst us.

HATHOR: The Tok'ra spy has been taken care of. Take as many of the humans as
you can alive. They will make an excellent addition to our new army of
Jaffa.


HATHOR'S PLANET, TUNNELS

The SG rescue team discovers the tunnel ahead is blocked by the energy
barrier.

DANIEL: Well I guess we can't go under it either.

CARTER: This isn't like any Goa'uld shield we've ever come across. It's more
like a solid wall. The power output for something like this must be
enormous.

MAKEPEACE: That's fascinating Captain, but now what'll we do?


SGC, CONTROL ROOM

HAMMOND: How long are they overdue?

SERGEANT: Five hours, Sir.

HAMMOND: The plan called for SG3 to check in by now, if they lost contact.
We'll open the gate and send a message through. The MALP's relay antenna
might be able to get a signal to our teams.

SERGEANT: Stand by to engage.


HATHOR'S PLANET, STARGATE CLEARING (DAY)

The STARGATE'S chevrons begin to activate, signaling an incoming wormhole.

TROFSKY: (to his Jaffa) Kree! Chapp'ai!


SGC CONTROL ROOM

SERGEANT: Wormhole established, Sir.


HATHOR'S PLANET, STARGATE CLEARING (DAY)

TROFSKY and his Jaffa stand ready before the open STARGATE.


HATHOR'S PLANET, TUNNELS

HAMMOND: (over the radio) SG3, this is General HAMMOND.

MAKEPEACE: (signals the others to stop.) Hold up, hold up.

HAMMOND: (over the radio) This is HAMMOND. Over.

CARTER: The energy barrier must be amplifying the signal.

MAKEPEACE: General, this is Three Niner. We hear you Sir.

HAMMOND: What's your status?

MAKEPEACE: We have two surviving Sierra Gulf Team One members, Sir, but we
have been cut off from the STARGATE. We found cover in tunnels we presume
were made by the Tok'ra, but we cannot reach the STARGATE without
reinforcements.


SGC CONTROL ROOM

HAMMOND: (to the SERGEANT) See if you can direct the MALP's camera to get a
picture of the STARGATE itself. (He opens communications with MAKEPEACE once
more.) That'll take some time, Colonel. We'll try to send reinforcements
through the STARGATE in exactly six hours from now. Coordinate your
offensive accordingly.

MAKEPEACE: Roger that, Sir.


HATHOR'S PLANET, STARGATE CLEARING (DAY)

TROFSKY sees the MALP's camera movement and shoots it with a Zat gun.


SGC CONTROL ROOM

They lose contact with the rescue team on HATHOR'S planet.

HAMMOND: Colonel MAKEPEACE, come in. Colonel MAKEPEACE.

The STARGATE disengages.


SGC, HAMMOND'S OFFICE

HAMMOND: One armored platoon should be able to take the STARGATE.

DAVIS: General, Sir, I'm sorry, it's not up to me. And even if it was, I don
't agree with it.

HAMMOND: I don't really give a damn if you agree with me Major.

DAVIS: With all due respect, Sir, you took a shot based on intelligence you
believed to be trustworthy, but obviously.

HAMMOND: I promised reinforcements.

DAVIS: The President and Joint Chiefs are simply unwilling to risk further
loss of life, Sir. Those are their orders. I'm sorry. I'm afraid, if your
people are going to make it back, they're gonna have to do it on their own.

HAMMOND: I see. Thank you, Major.

DAVIS: Thank you, Sir.


HATHOR'S PLANET, TUNNELS

CARTER: (to MAKEPEACE) Sir, I've been thinking. The energy barrier extends
for miles around the facility. So it must be powered from the inside, some
sort of field generator. Now the Tok'ra used these tunnels to access the
facility.

MAKEPEACE: They must lead to it somehow.

CARTER: Right. Request permission to go back and try to shut it down.

DANIEL: I'll go with you.

CARTER: No Daniel, you're hurt.

MAKEPEACE: I'll send an SG team along to back you up.

CARTER: Even if I can knock out the generator, you're gonna need everyone
you've got to take on those towers.

MAKEPEACE: Alright. If you can, blow the generator just before our
reinforcements come through. We'll try to take on the towers at the same
time. That might give us the tactical advantage we need.

CARTER: Good luck.

MAKEPEACE: We'll try to hold the door open. (They hear the approach of enemy
Jaffa.) Alright people, let's go. Move it!


HATHOR'S PLANET, TUNNELS

CARTER hides in an alcove as a pair of enemy Jaffa pass close by. When they
have gone, she slips out and heads down the tunnel towards HATHOR'S
facility.


CHULAK, BRA'TAC'S HOUSE (DAY)

The room is full of people, as they wait for TEAL'C to give his speech.

BRA'TAC: TEAL'C has returned from the Tau'ri. If you care for this world,
and our people, you will listen to what he has to say.

TEAL'C appears on the balcony above the gathered people.

TEAL'C: The Goa'uld are not gods.

PRIESTESS: Shova!

TEAL'C: It is a lie we live each day. Only when he takes a host does a Goa'
uld become strong. Even then, only as strong as the Jaffa who serve him.
Without us, the Goa'uld are nothing.

PRIESTESS: Lies!

TEAL'C: We are their strength, we are their power.until we choose to serve
them no more. I was witness to the final breath of APOPHIS. I watched him
tremble with fear for what lay beyond. I believed that day would be honored
for all time on Chulak. But instead, I see Jaffa taking up arms against one
another. I see cowardice and I am ashamed. This is our time, it will not
come again. But first we must grow stronger, as the people of the Tau'ri
have done. I call for warriors to join me through the Chapp'ai, to gather
weapons, to forge alliances with other Jaffa who seek freedom. To show the
Goa'uld we will do battle with them wherever they may be. Who will join me?

At his words, most of the people who had gathered leave BRA'TAC'S house. One
of those who remained removes his hood.

TEAL'C: General.

HAMMOND: Not what I'd call an army, but it's a start.

BRA'TAC: HAMMOND of Texas.

HAMMOND: Master BRA'TAC. Gentlemen, I need your help.


HATHOR'S PYRAMID, CRYOGENICS ROOM

CARTER discovers the injured RALEIGH.

RALEIGH: Forgive me, there was no other way.

CARTER: You're the Tok'ra.

RALEIGH: (points to the control panel.) Those controls are set. Activate
them. (When CARTER does so, the cryogenic tank containing O'NEILL is lifted
out of the pit.) The Goa'uld within is gone. The cryogenic process destroyed
it, before it had a chance to meld with the host. He will revive
automatically.

CARTER: (opens the cryogenic tank, revealing O'NEILL. She begins to release
the straps holding him.) Colonel? I don't feel its presence. You're gonna be
alright. (As she turns round, HATHOR is waiting, armed with a glowing ribbon
device.)


HATHOR'S PLANET, TUNNELS

The surviving members of the rescue team, along with DANIEL, are coming
under heavy fire from enemy Jaffa. An SG soldier is hit. DANIEL goes back
for him, but MAKEPEACE drags him away.


HATHOR'S PYRAMID, CRYOGENICS ROOM

HATHOR: (using her ribbon device on CARTER, who is forced to her knees.) We
had hopes for you. (She is suddenly grabbed from behind by O'NEILL.) We will
destroy you for this!

O'NEILL: We would just like you to go away! (He throws her into the
cryogenic pit and, with a scream, she disappears.) CARTER! (He pulls her
upright and hugs her.)

CARTER: (recovering) What happened?

O'NEILL: HATHOR'S.gone.

CARTER: What about you?

O'NEILL: Cold, a little chilly, but.I'm me. I'm me.

CARTER: Colonel MAKEPEACE came through with half a dozen SG teams to rescue
us. But TROFSKY'S got us cut off from the STARGATE. He's using an energy
barrier. It originates from somewhere in this facility. The plan is to blow
it before General HAMMOND sends reinforcements.

O'NEILL: And how do we plan to do that?

Behind them, RALEIGH raises her head.

RALEIGH: What you seek is hidden within the mock-up of your STARGATE
facility.

CARTER: What about you?

RALEIGH: My symbiote may yet heal me. You must hurry. Go.


CHULAK, WOODS (DAY)

TEAL'C, BRA'TAC and HAMMOND are walking through the woods.

HAMMOND: What exactly are we looking for? We don't have much time.

TEAL'C: As you said, the gate is carefully guarded.

BRA'TAC: The STARGATE is most defensible. To be assured of victory, we will
require an advantage, one hidden away, forgotten when I was still First
Prime of APOPHIS.

HAMMOND: Why?

BRA'TAC: Few pilots could master it.

HAMMOND: And how long ago was it?

BRA'TAC: Some.hundred years. The forest has changed much in that time.

TEAL'C: There is an old Jaffa saying, General HAMMOND - they do not build
them as they once did.

BRA'TAC: (uncovers what appears to be an ancient Death Glider.) Here!

HAMMOND: You intend to fly this thing?

BRA'TAC: Not I. Threading the needle is a skill for the young.


HATHOR'S PYRAMID, CORRIDOR

CARTER and O'NEILL are hurrying through HATHOR'S facility, looking for the
generator.

CARTER: The energy barrier extends around the facility for miles. The
generators must be massive. (They enter HATHOR'S fake Gateroom.) We're
getting close. I'm getting energy readings off the scale. She was right,
Sir, the generator's somewhere in here.

O'NEILL: (O'NEILL points to a lever.) What do you think?

CARTER: Try it.

O'NEILL pulls the lever and a section of wall behind the fake STARGATE
slides back, revealing a huge turbine generator.


HATHOR'S PLANET, TUNNELS

DANIEL, MAKEPEACE and the surviving SG soldiers are captured by HATHOR'S
Jaffa.


HATHOR'S PLANET, STARGATE CLEARING (DAY)

O'NEILL and CARTER take cover against an embankment. The surviving SG units
are kneeling in front of the STARGATE, guarded by TROFSKY and a handful of
Jaffa. The two turrets are in position, standing guard out over the STARGATE
clearing.

O'NEILL: This part of your plan, Captain?

CARTER: No, Sir.

TROFSKY: I know that you are still out there, Captain CARTER! I grow tired
of this. Surrender now, or your friends will be killed one by one.

DANIEL: Don't listen to him, Sam!

TROFSKY: Silence! I will give you one minute.

CARTER: The reinforcements should come through in a couple of minutes. We
could detonate the C4.

O'NEILL: TROFSKY'S gonna start shooting any minute, we gotta buy some time.
(A thought occurs to him.) He thinks I'm a Goa'uld, right?

CARTER: Right.

O'NEILL: Blow that C4 the minute the cavalry comes through that GATE.

CARTER: What if they don't?

O'NEILL: What if they don't???

CARTER: (quickly) They will, they will.

O'NEILL: (scrambles over the embankment and heads across the clearing,
towards the waiting Jaffa.) Jaffa, kree!

TROFSKY: Kel'mac, Goa'uld? Kree'tak?

O'NEILL: (obviously not understanding what TROFSKY has just said.) You heard
me, I said Kree!

DANIEL: Jack?

O'NEILL: Hey guys. MAKEPEACE, nice rescue. Good job.

TROFSKY: Silence!

O'NEILL: Alright, listen up. There's something you should know before you
start shooting and killing and ruining what could be the start of a
beautiful friendship - our beloved HATHOR.is dead.

TROFSKY: What you say is impossible. HATHOR is a queen. More than that, she
is a goddess.

O'NEILL: Yeah ok, ex goddess, maybe. I killed her myself. You should trust
me on this, she's gone. She is no more. She's.well, let's face it, she's a
former queen. So why don't we just put an end to this right now?

TROFSKY: We will end this with your surrender!

The chevrons on the STARGATE begin to activate.

TROFSKY: Jaffa kree, Chapp'ai!


CHULAK, DEATH GLIDER (DAY)

TEAL'C, along with General HAMMOND, is sitting in the ancient Death Glider.

TEAL'C: Firing the weapon will be your responsibility, General HAMMOND.

HAMMOND: Understood.


HATHOR'S PLANET, STARGATE CLEARING (DAY)

O'NEILL: Now.

CARTER blows the C4, destroying the generator.


CHULAK, DEATH GLIDER (DAY)

HAMMOND: What exactly did he mean by threading the needle?

TEAL'C: Observe. (He hits the control panel and the glider races through the
wormhole. It shoots out the other end and fires at the first turret,
destroying it.)


HATHOR'S PLANET, STARGATE CLEARING (DAY)

O'NEILL: (O'NEILL pulls out his sidearm, aiming at the Jaffa. ) Get down!

The captured SG soldiers duck, as O'NEILL fires at TROFSKY. CARTER sees the
second turret target O'NEILL and runs across the clearing, shooting at the
Jaffa manning the gun.

CARTER: Colonel!

O'NEILL turns at her voice, then dives out of the way just in time. BRA'TAC,
along with half a dozen of his Jaffa, emerges from the STARGATE. As TROFSKY
climbs to his feet and raises his weapon, BRA'TAC shoots him, this time
killing him.


HATHOR'S PLANET, DEATH GLIDER

TEAL'C: Fire.

HAMMOND: (fires the Death Glider's weapons, destroying the final turret.)
Yeeeehaaaw!


HATHOR'S PLANET, STARGATE CLEARING (DAY)

BRA'TAC and his people capture TROFSKY'S Jaffa.

BRA'TAC: Jaffa, kelmek! Kelmek! (TROFSKY'S remaining Jaffa surrender and BRA
'TAC heads over to O'NEILL.) Human.

TEAL'C and General HAMMOND, having landed the Death Glider, approach the
gathering. They all share a moment of triumph, before heading towards the
STARGATE.

Episode 38 - "Holiday"

The Stargate opens into a building, SG-1 appear. There are lots of red
curtains hanging from the ceiling, and lots of weird alien gadgets.
JACK: Looks like somebody's closed for the winter, hmm?
SG-1 look around the building.
SAM: Teal'c, is this Goa'uld technology?
The Stargate disengages.
TEALC: These devices are unfamiliar to me.
Sam picks up a computerised note pad and switches it on.
SAM: Oh, this is interesting.
DANIEL: [Referring to a curtained off room] I wonder what's in there?
MACHELLO: I am in there.
SG-1 assemble around the curtain, weapons ready; an old man appears.
MACHELLO: I am unarmed.
JACK: Who are you?
Teal'c approaches the man.
TEALC: You are the one called Ma'chello, are you not?
MACHELLO: Do I know you?
TEALC: You do not, but I have seen images of you, although your face had not
seen as many years, it was you. [To SG-1] Since before I was born this man
has been a fugitive from the System Lords. One of my first assignments as
first prime of Apophis was to hunt this man.
DANIEL: What did he do?
TEALC: He was developing advanced technology to battle the Goa'uld. He was
captured and tortured. The System Lords marked him to become a Goa'uld host,
so his knowledge could be retained. Before the ceremony of implantation, he
killed several Jaffa and escaped.
JACK: He did that?
MACHELLO: I am not this person you speak of; you are mistaken.
DANIEL: Um, you don't have to be afraid, we're not Goa'ulds.
MACHELLO: [Turns to Daniel] We're not? Of course we are not! Then if we are
not Goa'ulds, who are we?
DANIEL: Well, I'm, I'm Daniel Jackson, from the planet Earth.
MACHELLO: Yes, Yes! That's right, I am Daniel Jackson from the planet Earth,
pleased to meet you.
DANIEL: No, I'm, I'm, I'm Daniel Jackson.
MACHELLO: No, I'm Daniel Jackson.
SAM: [Changing the subject] Er, these are very interesting machines, are
they inventions to fight the Goa'uld?
MACHELLO: Yes, inventions to fight the Goa'uld!
DANIEL: Well, do ya, do ya, do you think you could show us how they work?
MACHELLO: Are we sure, we are not Goa'uld?
Daniel nods.
MACHELLO: [To Daniel] You, you! You, here quickly, inventions to fight the
Goa'uld.
Ma'chello takes the sheet off of a device; he holds the handles on one end
and Daniel hold the handles on the other side. The device makes a noise,
then Ma'chello collapses.
SAM: Daniel!
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: I'm fine, I think. [To Ma'chello, on the floor] Are you
alright, Sir?
Sam rushes over to check the man's pulse.
SAM: He's got a pulse.
JACK: Alright, Carter, why don't you dial us out of here, Teal'c, grab the
gentleman. Lets take him back to the base.
SAM: Yes, Sir.


OPENING CREDITS

Daniel is in the infirmary, Janet is checking him over before the
debriefing.
FRAISER: Well, everything seems fine, [She check his file] yep, all your
numbers are normal.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: Good, I feel fine.
FRAISER: Yeah? You just, you seem a little out of it Daniel, is something
bothering you?
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: No. I'm just exhausted.
FRAISER: Well, that's not unusual for someone who just received a high
voltage electric shock. Any idea what that machine was suppose to do?
He shakes his head in reply.
FRAISER: Okay, well, if you're not back to normal in a couple of days, you
let me know.
Ma'chello/Daniel gets off of the bed.
FRAISER: Oh, wait a minute; I don't want you driving for a couple of days.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: Alright.
FRAISER: Okay.
As Daniel leaves he sees Ma'chello (or rather himself) in a bed.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: How is he?
FRAISER: Not good. He has severe scar tissue all over his body, looks like
he was burned or electrocuted. My guess is he was tortured.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: [To Janet] He's not going to live much longer is he?
FRAISER: I don't think so.
Ma'chello/Daniel leaves.

In the Briefing Room, SG-1 are being debriefed, Daniel isn't there.
HAMMOND: Let's continues without Doctor Jackson, Captain Carter, you were
about to brief us about the device. [Referring to the hand head computer
note pad Sam found]
SAM: Yes, Sir, I believe it's some sort of database for all of Ma'chello's
inventions; these symbols are like icons on a computer, when I press one of
them a schematic diagram appears with notes on the side.
HAMMOND: Any idea on what any of it is?
SAM: Well, Sir, that's the problem, it's not in any dialect I understand, I
was hoping that Daniel or maybe Teal'c could shed some light on these
symbols.
She hands the device to Teal'c.
TEALC: I do not recognise them.
He hands it back to Sam, Daniel enters.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: I apologise.
He sits down.
HAMMOND: How are you, Doctor Jackson?
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: Tired, Doctor Fraiser said it'll wear off in a few days;
I'll be fine.
SAM: Daniel, do you recognise any of these symbols?
Sam hands Daniel the device, he briefly looks at it and hands it back.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: No.
HAMMOND: Keep trying people, this could be some valuable technology.
Dismissed.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: General? Doctor Fraiser thought I should go home, get
some rest.
HAMMOND: Take a day.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: Thank you.

Ma'chello/Daniel is driven to his apartment block. The car pulls up outside
and he gets out.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: [To driver] Thank you, I'll be fine from here.
DRIVER: Yes, Sir.
The car leaves, Ma'chello/Daniel heads to the doors of his apartment
building and looks up at it. A woman leaves the building and Ma'
chello/Daniel follows her.

SG-1 enter the infirmary.
JACK: [To Hammond] You called, Sir?
DANIEL IN MACHELLO: Jack, Sam, Teal'c, finally. [Who's this 'finally' guy?]
JACK: [To Hammond] How does this gentleman know our names?
General Hammond doesn't know.
DANIEL IN MACHELLO: As I've been trying to tell the General and the good
Doctor here, I am not Ma'chello, I am Daniel Jackson.
JACK: Oh, here we go.
DANIEL IN MACHELLO: I realise what I look like, but I'm telling you that
machine somehow switched us.
FRAISER: He, er, knows a lot about Daniel.
DANIEL IN MACHELLO: Ask me anything, something only Daniel would know.
SAM: Okay, who's Cassandra?
DANIEL IN MACHELLO: She's a 12-year-old girl, we found abandoned on P8X-987.
JACK: [To Sam] P8X..?
SAM: [Nods] ...987, yeah.
JACK: Alright, lucky guess.
HAMMOND: Where was the Stargate found?
DANIEL IN MACHELLO: At a dig in Giza.
JACK: Alright, describe for me, the dress your sister wore last week, when I
took her out.
DANIEL IN MACHELLO: I don't have a sister, Jack, and if I did I wouldn't let
you near her.
Jack and Sam look at each other.
HAMMOND: Okay, lets assume for a moment that you are Daniel Jackson; then
who the hell did we just send home?

Ma'chello/Daniel is walking through the streets of Colorado Springs.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: [To anyone and no-one] Hello friend, I am new to this
area, I would like to learn about your culture and customs, will you teach
me? Do you not understand me?
FRED: [To people on the street] Spare any change, please?
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: Why does no-one answer me?
FRED: 'Cos you're strange.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: Am I? Tell me how I am strange?
FRED: Man, you can't be just walking up to people you don't know in the
street and talking all weird like that, asking for stuff.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: Isn't that what you are doing?
FRED: Well, Yeah, but...
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: Then you must be strange as well.
FRED: I've been called worse, sure, I'm strange too.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: I am called Ma'chello.
FRED: I'm Fred. [They shake hands]
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: Let us feast together, Fred, and celebrate our
strangeness and new found friendship.
FRED: On you?
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: If that is the custom, we will feast 'on me'.

In the Briefing Room, SG-1 are discussing the Daniel/Ma'chello situation.
HAMMOND: Doctor Fraiser?
FRAISER: Well, Sir, medically speaking he is an elderly gentleman suffering
from acute pulmonary damage, with the conscious awareness and memory of
Doctor Daniel Jackson.
HAMMOND: How?
FRAISER: Well, I can't tell you the method used to do it, General, but I can
tell you that our personality, our memory, our conscious selves are derived
from unique networks of neurons in the cerebral cortex; somehow Daniel's
networks were remapped onto the old man's by that alien device.
JACK: So this could be a one-way deal, right?
FRAISER: I'm not following, Sir.
JACK: We don't know that it went both ways, Daniel could still be... Daniel.
HAMMOND: His doorman said he never came into the building after he was
dropped off.
JACK: There you go, lets find him.
SAM: And what if he isn't Daniel?
HAMMOND: We're going to have to prepare for that possibility, Doctor
Fraiser?
FRAISER: Sir, this, er, problem is beyond my expertise. I'm going to have to
consult with some neuro specialists, Sir.
HAMMOND: Do it.
JACK: General, wouldn't it be a little easier if we just went back got this
machine and tried to slam it into reverse?
HAMMOND: Alright, Colonel, retrieve it but consider that device hazardous
material, prepare yourself accordingly.
JACK: Yes, Sir.

Back on the planet. They're wearing haz-mat suits.
SAM: I'm going to check out Ma'chello's room, maybe he has some electronic
notebooks I can actually read.
JACK: Alright. Er, Captain, maybe you shouldn't touch anything in there.
SAM: I'll be careful, Sir.
Sam leaves, Jack and Teal'c get out some covers to put over the handles of
the machine so they don't directly touch it and get swapped
JACK: Alright, I'm going to get mine on first, here.
Jack slides the covers on, followed by Teal'c.
JACK: Alright, on three.
Sam looks at a device in Ma'chello's room.
JACK: One, Two.
SAM: Colonel!
Sam makes Jack jump.
JACK: [Annoyed] Captain?
SAM: Sorry, er, I think I know how Ma'chello has lived so long. I think this
is some sort of medical device, there's all sorts of tubes and thermal units
that look like they're for life support.
TEALC: But Ma'chello was conscious when we found him.
SAM: Well, maybe it's triggered to automatically deactivate when someone
comes through the 'gate.
TEALC: Then we can place Daniel Jackson in the hibernation chambers so his
body can be maintained.
SAM: Yeah, possibly, if I can figure out how to get it to work again.
JACK: How long, Captain?
SAM: I don't know, Sir, I might not be able to figure it out at all.
JACK: Well, then lets get this thing back to Earth, it might be all we need.
[Referring to the device that swapped Daniel and Ma'chello]
JACK: [To Teal'c] On three. One, two, three.
The machine makes the same sound as when Daniel and Ma'chello switched. Jack
and Teal'c look at each other.
SAM: What?

SG-1 appear through the 'gate into the Gate Room.
HAMMOND: How did it go, Colonel?
TEALC IN JACK: It did not go well, General Hammond.
JACK IN TEALC: Ya think!
General Hammond looks at the three of them, Sam looks sheepishly at him.

Jack and Teal'c are in a room with the body-swapping device.
TEALC IN JACK: This is indeed uncomfortable.
JACK IN TEALC: How do ya think I feel, Teal'c? I've got a snake in my gut,
you've got a comfortable, normal body.
TEALC IN JACK: It is normal to you, O'Neill, having a symbiote within is
normal to me.
JACK IN TEALC: Yeah, well, whatever, it's bad, okay?
Sam enters.
SAM: Hey.
TEALC IN JACK: Have they located Doctor Jackson?
SAM: No, they're still looking. The good news is I've found the switching
device on Ma'chello's computer; problem is all of the notations are in that
strange dialect. You know, when you think about it, it's actually kind of a
good thing that this happened. [Referring to Jack and Teal'c' current
situation - never saw that coming!] I mean, I can experiment with the two of
you and then when they find Daniel/Ma'chello we can, er, reverse the
process, assuming of course that it's re...
JACK IN TEALC: Captain, can we just get on with this?
SAM: Right, well, er I couldn't find any buttons or switches, so unless I've
missed something it must be triggered by the handles themselves. I, I think
that we should try different ways of grasping the handles. First lets just
try grasping it normally, the same way you did before.
Jack and Teal'c both go to the machine and hold the handles, the machine
makes a sad sound. Teal'c looks down at himself.
JACK IN TEALC: Nope, still got Junior.
SAM: Alright, er, alright, um, maybe there's an in and an out handle, switch
sides.
Jack and Teal'c spin the device around so they have the opposite handles to
last time, the machine make the sound again.
TEALC IN JACK: We did not make progress.
SAM: Okay, um, maybe it has something to do with the order you grab the
handles. [Some of us think, they're 'grasping' at straws]

Later...
JACK IN TEALC: I'm not feeling so hot.
TEALC IN JACK: What are you feeling, O'Neill?
JACK IN TEALC: All of a sudden, Junior's moving around a lot in there.
TEALC IN JACK: This likely means my body has contracted an illness my
symbiote must repair.
SAM: Illness, great.
TEALC IN JACK: It is common; the symbiote will remedy the problem.
JACK IN TEALC: Okay, when?
TEALC IN JACK: It can only accomplish its work if you put your body into a
state of kel'no'reem.
JACK IN TEALC: Translation, Teal'c.
TEALC IN JACK: Similar to a state of hibernation.
SAM: Meditation?
TEALC IN JACK: Perhaps, but I sense much deeper than that of any human
mediation. It is imperative that you do this, O'Neill, or my body will be as
if it has no immune system.
JACK IN TEALC: Okay, tell me what to do.
A little later, in another room, Teal'c/Jack is lighting candles and
Jack/Teal'c is looking at himself (Teal'c's body) in the mirror.
JACK IN TEALC: You don't look so good, I mean I don't look so good.
TEALC IN JACK: You will become increasingly ill as long as my symbiote does
not have the opportunity to make the necessary repair.
Jack in Teal'c sits down heavily.
JACK IN TEALC: So you're telling me this is just gonna get worse.
TEALC IN JACK: If you do not perform kel'no'reem it could lead to my death,
rather your death. (No pressure like!)
JACK IN TEALC: What do I do?
TEALC IN JACK: Please, be seated.

The outside world, Ma'chello/Daniel and Fred enter a diner.
WAITRESS: Can I help you?
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: Hello, this is Fred, I am Ma'chello, we wish to feast on
me. In fact [louder] let everyone here feast on me.
WAITRESS: You celebrating something?
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: Indeed we are: life.
WAITRESS: Okay, but I'm going to need a credit card.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: A 'credit card', where would I find such a card?
WAITRESS: Usually in your wallet.
She indicates Daniel's pocket. Ma'chello/Daniel pulls out Daniel's wallet,
opens it and shows it to the waitress.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: Will one of these cards do?
The waitress pulls out a gold card.
WAITRESS: Absolutely.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: You are one of the most enchanting women I have seen in
my lifetime, I would be honoured by a kiss.
WAITRESS: [Smiles] Yeah, I bet you would.

Back at the base, Jack is trying to meditate.
TEALC IN JACK: Very good, O'Neill.
JACK IN TEALC: It is? I'm not feeling any better.
TEALC IN JACK: You have not yet reached kel'no'reem.
JACK IN TEALC: So, how do I do it?
TEALC IN JACK: Relax, concentrate, you must imagine the centre of your mind
and focus. Allow it to take you into a waking sleep, there you will dream,
when you do so it will be in harmony with the symbiote. Your sub-conscious
minds will be as one. At that moment, you will have achieved kel'no'reem.
Here, the symbiote will receive information necessary to repair your
sickness.

Daniel/Ma'chello is trying to translate Ma'chello's note pad in the
infirmary.
DANIEL IN MACHELLO: [Sighs] It's useless.
SAM: No, it's not, you've already figured out that it's a mixture of ancient
Latin and Greek, we're getting closer.
DANIEL IN MACHELLO: That's obvious because of the forms, the alphabets may
be the same but it's an entirely original language. There's no sentence
structure, there's no.
The heart monitor beeps as Daniel gets wound up.
SAM: Take it easy.
Sam looks very concerned when the beeping continues and Daniel seems to fall
unconscious.
FRAISER: His blood pressure's going up. [Janet checks his pulse and shines a
light in his eyes] He's not responding. [To medical staff] Get a CT, check
for haemorrhage and get a respirator ready just in case.
SAM: Janet?
FRAISER: He's non-responsive; he's in a coma.

In the diner - Fred and Ma'chello/Daniel are given ice cream sundaes.
FRED: Dig in Ma'chello, before the hot fudge melts all the ice cream.
They start eating.
FRED: So, er, I get the feeling you fought in the Gulf, am I right?
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: No. [Continues to shovel ice cream into his mouth] But I
was a soldier, I fought many battles, I was captured and tortured.
FRED: Well, that explains a lot.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: I continued to fight and lost all that I loved and cared
for, but I knew I could not surrender, for you. If it were not for me, you
would all be conquered by now.
FRED: By who? Sadaam?
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: He is not a System Lord I am familiar with, but several
others would've wiped you out.
FRED: Whatever you say, man.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: But I do not wish to fight any longer. From now on I
only want to eat hamburgers and French fries and ice cream sundaes and I
want to be with good people like you, Fred.
FRED: All good things come to an end Ma'chello.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: No, no my friend, only evil things must come to an end.
For good things such as ourselves, it is possible to go on forever.
FRED: Cool.

Jack has just finished kel'no'reem.
JACK IN TEALC: Whoa, Sweet. Teal'c? [He gets up] What are you doing?
Teal'c/Jack looks up; he has a pair of scissors in his hands and is looking
in the mirror.
TEALC IN JACK: If I am to remain in this body, I must shave my head.
JACK IN TEALC: You're making a joke, right?
TEALC IN JACK: I am not joking.
JACK IN TEALC: Teal'c, you will not shave my head.
TEALC IN JACK: It is presently my head, O'Neill.
JACK IN TEALC: Teal'c, this is temporary.
TEALC IN JACK: And if it is not?
JACK IN TEALC: Just give them a chance to find Daniel, okay? Teal'c, I'm
going to see General Hammond, promise me, you won't touch, the head, until I
get back.
Jack/Teal'c leaves.

Hammond puts the phone down and Jack/Teal'c enters his office.
JACK IN TEALC: Sir, I feel like I need to be involved in finding Daniel.
HAMMOND: Well, I think we may have him, Son. Daniel's credit card was just
used at a local diner.
JACK IN TEALC: Request permission to go there, Sir.
HAMMOND: Denied, you'll remain here until they bring him in. Be patient,
Colonel.
JACK IN TEALC: I can't be patient, Sir, Daniel... is dying and I'd rather we
get to Ma'chello than some yahoo civvy-officer shooting him and blowing any
chances we have of saving him.
HAMMOND: As much as I'd like to, you're not exactly yourself. Request
denied.

Daniel and Ma'chello are walking down the street after leaving the diner.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: It has been a lifetime since I have enjoyed such
companionship, Fred. I have truly enjoyed it.
FRED: Likewise.
A woman walks by, she catches Ma'chello's eye.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: How does one court a wife, Fred?
FRED: Usually with lots of time, energy and those credit cards.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: Good, let us begin now.
POLICE OFFICER: Hold it there, buddy.
Ma'chello and Fred turn to see two police officers behind them.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: I will not go back, it is impossible.
POLICE OFFICER: Put your hands behind your head.
Fred does as he is told.
FRED: Do it Ma'chello, you don't know these cops like me.
Ma'chello makes a run for it and the police chase him.
FRED: Wait, wait, wait don't shoot him, man, he's a hero.
Fred follows the police. Ma'chello tries to cross the road but a police car
gets in his way, the police grab him and cuff him.
FRED: Ah, don't hurt him.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: You were right, Fred, all good things do come to an end.
Ma'chello is put into the police car.

In the infirmary, Sam is standing at the end of Daniel's bed.
SAM: Come on, Daniel, they've found the guy, they're bringing him in; you
have to wake up. [Sam walks to the side of the bed] Daniel, you can't die on
me now.
DANIEL IN MACHELLO: It's nice to know you don't just like me for my looks.
Janet walks in.
SAM: Hey. [To Janet] Janet.
Janet sees Daniel is awake.
FRAISER: Well, it is good to have you back, Doctor Jackson. You have
impeccable timing. [To Sam] Sam, they're on their way in, you should get
that machine of his in here.
Sam nods and kisses Daniel on the head.

Later...
Janet brings the body swapping device into the infirmary. General Hammond
enters with Ma'chello/Daniel and some guards.
HAMMOND: Reverse what you've done to my people.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: I cannot do what is impossible.
HAMMOND: Then you won't cooperate.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: On the contrary, I am telling you the truth, it is not
possible.
SAM: Why not?
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: In simplest terms, the device retains a memory of every
transference. For the very reason you're asking me, I designed it to so it
encrypts the transference, blocking any reversal.
HAMMOND: Then reprogram it so it will unblock it.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: You do not have the necessary technology. Even if I
wanted to change it, I could not.

Later...
Ma'chello/Daniel is pacing his cell.
Sam and General Hammond enter.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: Thank you for coming.
SAM: Hope you're enjoying the scenery, it's the only view you'll have for
the rest of your life.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: Yes, that is why I called you; I thought perhaps I might
be able to negotiate for better accommodations.
HAMMOND: We're listening.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: First let me apologise for the unfortunate transference
of your Colonel and the Jaffa.
HAMMOND: Just get to the point.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: [Looks at the computerised note pad in Sam's hand] The
symbols you've no doubt tried to decipher are unique, in form they are
similar to my native language, but they're actually an original code I
devised in case my work came into enemy hands.
HAMMOND: We're not your enemy, if anything we're allies.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: That is why I will teach Captain Carter that code. With
my knowledge I guarantee you will not only be able to effectively defend
yourself against the Goa'uld, you will in fact be able to defeat them.
SAM: And our cost for this knowledge?
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: My freedom, of course.
HAMMOND: And Doctor Jackson?
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: He is not an issue.
SAM: Not an issue!? We're talking about a friend's life.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: Your friend was my solution to hiding my face
permanently; consider him a casualty of war. I am offering you the salvation
of your planet. Is this not worth more than the life of one archaeologist?
HAMMOND: I don't know about the customs on your planet, but here on Earth
the value of a life is priceless.
General Hammond leaves.
SAM: I want you to get to know your casualty.
Sam and Ma'chello/Daniel enter the infirmary. Ma'chello/Daniel sits on the
chair beside Daniel/Ma'chello's bed.
SAM: I believe you two have met.
DANIEL IN MACHELLO: Well from what I can see, you're looking... good.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: What would you like me to say, I am sorry', that I wish
I could undo it? I do not.
DANIEL IN MACHELLO: Why?
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: Why? Because I earned it, that's why, I earned it
because I sacrificed my life for you and your people. The least you could do
is compensate me with another.
DANIEL IN MACHELLO: What right do you have to judge the value of my life?
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: I have suffered, more than anyone should suffer in a
lifetime; for 50 years I fought against the Goa'uld then I was betrayed by
my wife, whom they secretly turned into a host.
DANIEL IN MACHELLO: So is mine, she's still with them.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: At least you still have a planet and friends; two
billion of my people died rather than surrender me to the Goa'uld.
DANIEL IN MACHELLO: You have made great sacrifices, we owe you gratitude,
but still it does not give you the right to take another's life.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: If you had the technology, you would do the same.
DANIEL IN MACHELLO: No, I wouldn't, because then I would become no better
than the Goa'uld.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: I am not a Goa'uld, I hate the Goa'uld.
DANIEL IN MACHELLO: The Goa'uld use host because they think they are better
than humans, because they believe they deserve it. You're a Goa'uld
Ma'chello. I am nothing but a host to you.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: I am not a Goa'uld.
DANIEL IN MACHELLO: My wife is still alive, there is a chance I could still
save her, you are stealing that chance.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: Even if you still had this body, you will never find
her.
DANIEL IN MACHELLO: No, I will find her, I will find.
The heart monitor goes flat line.
FRAISER: He's in de-fib, prepare the paddles. Come on Daniel.
Time seems to slow down - Sam glares at Ma'chello, he looks emotionless. Sam
then looks to the heart monitor - time speeds back up as the monitor starts
to beep as normal again
FRAISER: Wait a minute; I've got a heartbeat, but I don't know for how long.
Give me one mil epi.
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: [To Sam] If I could trade places with him again, I would
but unfortunately I am the only one who cannot.
SAM: Wait a minute; you're the only who that can't?
MACHELLO IN DANIEL: Yes.
SAM: [To officer] Get Colonel O'Neill and Teal'c.
Hammond, Jack and Teal'c all walk down the corridor and enter the infirmary.
JACK IN TEALC: What's going on, Captain?
SAM: I think I may have come up with a solution to this whole mess.
JACK IN TEALC: Finally.
FRAISER: Well, whatever you're gonna do, do it fast.
SAM: Alright, it's a little complicated so I need you to do exactly as I
say; we're going to have to play a little musical chairs with your bodies.
First Colonel, you and Ma'chello will switch.
Jack starts to argue but thinks better of it before he can say anything.
SAM: Trust me, Colonel.
Jack/Teal'c and Ma'chello/Daniel switch, the machine make the same sound as
always.
SAM: Colonel?
JACK IN DANIEL: I'm here.
SAM: How do you feel, physically?
JACK IN DANIEL: Peachy.
MACHELLO IN TEALC: The transference was successful, physically we are fine,
please continue, Captain.
SAM: Right, now you [Indicates Teal'c/Jack] and Daniel should switch.
Jack/Daniel gets out of the way and Teal'c/Jack and Daniel/Ma'chello switch,
as you've guessed the machine makes the sound again.
DANIEL IN JACK: Whoa, what a dream, what happened?
SAM: I don't have time to explain right now, Daniel, just bear with me.
DANIEL IN JACK: Okay.
JACK IN DANIEL: Danny boy.
Daniel/Jack turns around to see himself. He's slightly shocked. Jack beckons
him over.
DANIEL IN JACK: Jack?
MACHELLO IN TEALC: I wish I had time to teach you the symbols. In your hands
my inventions could go on fighting the Goa'uld.
SAM: It's alright, I'll figure it out, please. [She indicates the machine -
he take the handles and the machine does its job]
TEALC: I am myself again, thank you Captain Carter.
SAM: Anytime.
Janet takes Ma'chello's hands off the machine. Sam indicates the machine for
Jack/Daniel.
JACK IN DANIEL: [Puts his arm around Daniel who is still unsure what is
going on] Our turn.
They swap.
JACK: Yes! Yes! [To Teal'c] Shave my head?!?! Eeezh.
DANIEL: I'm back.
FRAISER: [About Ma'chello] He's conscious again.
MACHELLO: [To Daniel] Thank you for my holiday.
Daniel looks over him. Ma'chello goes flat line. Janet closes his eyes and
switches the monitor off.
HAMMOND: Welcome back, SG-1.

Episode 36 - "The Fifth Race"

SG-1 are in a briefing; Daniel is talking about Ernest's planet, with
pictures of the four languages from that planet on the projector.
DANIEL: On the planet where we found Ernest Littlefield, PB2-908, we also
found a repository of information.
JACK: Meaning of life sorta stuff.
DANIEL: Yes, based on the four distinct alien languages inscribed on the
wall we concluded it was some sort of meeting place, where these four races
would...
HAMMOND: We all re-read read the mission report, Doctor Jackson.
DANIEL: Okay, right, well, two days ago the probe sent this image from
P3R-272.
There's a close-up on a circle of symbols.
DANIEL: Now if you look closely you'll see that the symbols match one of the
inscriptions from the meeting place on Ernest's planet. [Silence] So you
realise what this means?
HAMMOND: You know what this circle of symbols says?
DANIEL: No, I don't even know what it sounds like, but based on the Norse
rune at the bottom of this inscription [Daniel points to a Norse rune] I'm
positive that one of the four race in the alliance is Thor's race, the
Asgard, obviously that would make the aliens that belong to this race their
allies.
TEALC: I do believe this world is worth exploring Daniel Jackson.


SG-1 travel to the planet. They emerge in a small, empty room, with no
exits!
SAM: Very strange. Breathable air, moderate temperature, but where's the
life support coming from?
JACK: [Bangs the wall] Walls are solid.
TEALC: As the probe indicated there appears to be no exit.
JACK: Well, this was an intergalactic waste of time.
SAM: Well, wait a minute, Sir, where's the power for the lights coming from?
What's the point of this place?
DANIEL: Hello! Hello! I'm Daniel Jackson, we're peaceful explorers from the
planet Earth.
Jack looks at Daniel as if he's mad.
DANIEL: [To Jack] It was worth a try.
JACK: Daniel, how long you figure we oughta hang out here and scratch our
cosmic heads?
DANIEL: Well, we can't just give up.
JACK: Why not? Lets go home. [Jack walks through the circle of writing on
the floor and an alien device appears, mounted on the wall on the other side
of the room.] Okay, that's something.
Teal'c walks up to the device, and looks into it.
JACK: Watcha self there Teal'c.
DANIEL: What do you see?
TEALC: Blackness, filled with coloured lights.
Teal'c walks away from the device and Jack looks into it. It changes shape,
and Jack backs off slightly.
JACK: Whoa!
The device morphs again and grabs Jack's head, forcing him to look through
it. He sees lights, and there's a buzzing sound. Moments later it releases
him and he falls to the floor.
SAM: Colonel!
DANIEL: Jack, can you hear me?
SAM: [Feeling his neck] His pulse is racing. Daniel, dial the 'gate.

TITLE SEQUENCE

Jack is being checked over by Dr Fraiser in the infirmary.
FRAISER: Pupils are back to normal. Pulse is fine. You feel okay?
JACK: Great, don't remember a thing.
SAM: You were catatonic for about an hour after that thing released your
head.
FRAISER: Physically I can't find anything wrong with you.
JACK: Well, okey-dokey.
Jack swings off of the bed and leaves the infirmary.

SG-1 and General Hammond are in the Briefing Room. Jack's drawing some sort
of device on his pad.
HAMMOND: So what caused this device to appear?
DANIEL: We're not sure.
TEALC: Colonel O'Neill passed through the circle on the floor just before
the device appeared. I was the first to look into it.
HAMMOND: What did you see?
JACK: Lights, he saw lights. That's what he said he saw, lights. We done?
HAMMOND: Not exactly. Why didn't the device react to Teal'c the same way as
it did to you?
JACK: I don't know.
TEALC: Perhaps because I am a Jaffa.
SAM: We've seen alien technologies that have been sensitive to the presence
of a Goa'uld before, like Thor's Hammer.
JACK: Teal'c looked, I looked, it grabbed my head, I passed out, I came to,
we're here, we're home. Can we go?
SAM: Sir, are you okay?
JACK: I'm fine, just fine. A little tired maybe.
HAMMOND: Colonel, are you sure you're okay?
JACK: I am absolutely fine. There is nothing cruvus with me.
They all look at Jack.
JACK: What?
DANIEL: You just said there's 'nothing cruvus' with you.
JACK: I did not.
DANIEL: Yes, you did.
JACK: No I didn't.
DANIEL: Yes, you did.
JACK: Didn't.
DANIEL: Did.
JACK: Didn't.
DANIEL: Did.
JACK: Cruvus, what is that?
DANIEL: I don't know. Um... well, I'm guessing in the context of what you're
saying you were trying to say that there's nothing wrong with you.
HAMMOND: Why don't you take some time to relax, Colonel. You're dismissed,
but do me a favour and stay on the base.
Jack tears off the sheet he's been drawing on, and leaves the room.
HAMMOND: [To the others] Keep an eye on him.

Jack is teaching Teal'c how to box.
TEALC: What is the reason for these padded gloves, O'Neill?
JACK: So we don't hurt each other. I'll be honest with you, Teal'c, it's so
you don't hurt me.
TEALC: If our purpose is to not cause each other harm, why then are we doing
battle?
JACK: What can I tell ya, it's boxing. It's fun. Come on.
Jack starts dancing around. Teal'c stands still and watches him as if he's
mad.
JACK: Come on Teal'c, you've gotta move around a little bit, you've gotta
dance.
TEALC: I do not understand O'Neill, are we preparing to dance or to do
battle?
JACK: Teal'c if you don't move around you're a sitting duck, you're a
target. [Jack hits Teal'c] Huh, like that. [He stops moving] I'm sorry are
you alright?
TEALC: I am fine.
JACK: Well that's why you've gotta move...
Teal'c hits Jack really hard. Jack falls to the floor, somewhat surprised.
TEALC: How was that, O'Neill?
JACK: That's good, that's good. Er, the thing about keeping your hands up...
is my nose bleeding?
TEALC: You are fine.
JACK: Keep your hands up, you gotta keep moving your, your feet moving and
er, bend your cosars, keep your cosars bent.
TEALC: I am unfamiliar with that word.
JACK: What, cosars? Cosars, you gotta bend your cosars.
TEALC: I believe you are referring to your legs, O'Neill.
Jack realises what he said. He's worried.

Jack and Teal'c burst into Daniel's office.
JACK: Alright, what the hell is going on with me?
DANIEL: What do you mean?
JACK: Well, apparently I have lost the falatus to speak properly. That
wasn't a joke, I didn't do that on purpose.
TEALC: Several times now Colonel O'Neill has used strange words in place of
common terms.
DANIEL: Okay, well, what was that word you just used?
TEALC: I believe it was falatus.
DANIEL: Okay, sounds kinda close to Medieval Latin. So, possibly a
derivation, maybe even a root. [He looks up the word] Faculatus is Latin for
ability; you said you've 'lost the falatus to speak properly'.
JACK: [Looking at the monitor, Jack reads] Nou ani anquietas.
DANIEL: What?
JACK: Nou ani anquietas. Hic qua videum.
DANIEL: Jack, are you reading this? [Referring to the circle of symbols on
the monitor]
JACK: I don't know, you tell me.
DANIEL: Well, I don't know, I haven't been able to associate sounds to the
symbols. Do you know what this means?
JACK: No, I'm just looking at it and the words just pop right into my fron.
Does anybody think this is odd?

Daniel and Sam are walking down a corridor.
DANIEL: The language he's speaking has similar sounds to Medieval Latin but
they're still quite different.
SAM: So he's in the infirmary now?
They enter Daniel's office.
DANIEL: Yeah, but before we took him there, he picked up the chalk and did
this in about thirty seconds flat. [He shows Sam a blackboard full of
numbers and squiggles. Yes squiggles is the technical term!] Do you have any
idea what this means?
SAM: No. I mean, even the simple equations don't make any sense. No, this is
like no math I've every seen.

Dr Fraiser explains Jack's condition to Sam and Daniel, using monitors full
of pretty brain scan pictures.
FRAISER: A normal human brain operates at 5-10% of its functional capacity
at any given time; Colonel O'Neill's brain is working at over 90% capacity.
SAM: How is that possible?
FRAISER: I don't know.
Teal'c enters.
TEALC: Where is Colonel O'Neill?
FRAISER: Well, he should be in the infirmary.
TEALC: He is not there.
SG-1 dash off to find Jack.
SAM: Teal'c, you take the Gate Room.
DANIEL: I'll check the locker room.
SAM: Right.
Sam enters one of the rooms on the base to find Jack taking a staff weapon
to pieces.
SAM: Colonel. What are you doing?
JACK: I need this. [He holds up a capsule of glowing green liquid naqahdah
from the staff weapon]
SAM: What for?
JACK: I have no idea.

In the Briefing Room, they're discussing Jack.
HAMMOND: Where is he now?
SAM: He's with Teal'c.
HAMMOND: Do you think his current condition poses any threat?
FRAISER: Sir, I don't even know what's wrong with him. All I can tell you is
his brain function has increased tenfold.
DANIEL: Jack was able to read the alien language - both the inscription from
the wall, the meeting place on Ernest's planet and the circle of symbols
from '272, where this happened to him.
HAMMOND: What does it mean?
DANIEL: Um, well, my translation's a little bit vague, um, I think the
circle means 'the place of our legacy'. Um... or it could be 'a piece of our
leg', but the first seems to make more sense.
SAM: The point is Colonel O'Neill is unwillingly speaking an alien language.
DANIEL: We know the Asgard oppose the Goa'uld so it's possible all the
members of this four-race alliance felt the same.
SAM: Which might explain why the viewer locked out Teal'c.
HAMMOND: What are you saying?
DANIEL: What if this device somehow downloaded an alien language into Jack's
brain.
Teal'c enters.
TEALC: [To General Hammond] Your presence is required in the control room.

In the Control Room, Jack's working on a computer.
HAMMOND: [To Teal'c] What's he doing?
TEALC: I do not know.
Sam heads straight for a computer.
HAMMOND: Captain Carter?
SAM: Main system's down, Sir. I'm locked out.
HAMMOND: Colonel.
JACK: Yes, Sir.
HAMMOND: What are you doing?
JACK: I don't know, Sir. You know me and computers.
HAMMOND: Colonel, I'm ordering you to stop.
JACK: I'd love to Sir, but I can't.
HAMMOND: [To Teal'c] Stop him.
Teal'c tries to pull Jack away from the computer.
JACK: No! No, not yet! I'm not farit!
DANIEL: Sir, I think he wants to finish what he's doing.
SAM: I can't reboot, Sir.
All the computers switch off.
SAM: Uh-oh.
HAMMOND: Captain?
The numbers Jack entered come up on the computer screen.
SAM: Sir, this is machine code. The numbers the Colonel was entering must've
been some been some sort of program.
Jack enters a few more numbers.
SAM: [To Jack] What did you do?
Jack shakes his head.
SAM: [Referring to the monitor] It's the destination map. These are all the
Stargates we've been through.
DANIEL: Sam, are those new 'gates popping up?
SAM: That's not possible, it takes days to calculate the planetary shift of
each new location. Whoa, wait a second. Sir, the new Stargates did not come
from the Abydos cartouche data that we put in.
HAMMOND: But that's the only reference we have, isn't it?
SAM: The Colonel must've input new Stargate locations into the computer.
DANIEL: [To Jack] Well, I guess that thing must've downloaded more that a
language into your brain. That circular inscription read 'the place of our
legacy'. What if that thing you looked into was some sort of alien database,
like the one we found on Ernest's planet, all the knowledge that these
particular aliens possessed?
HAMMOND: Colonel, you are not under arrest but you are also not to touch
anything else on this base without permission. Understood?
JACK: Etium, Sir.

In Daniel's office. Sam enters.
SAM: You can only stare at a computer screen for so long. Colonel, that
program you entered re-wrote massive amounts of the machine code.
Jack doesn't respond.
DANIEL: Jack seems to have completely lost the ability to speak anything but
the alien language.
SAM: Really? Wow.
DANIEL: But the good news is we seem to have more of the alien inscription
translated. 'Nou ani anquietus'- 'We are the Ancients'.
SAM: Who are the Ancients?
DANIEL: Well, I think they could be the teachers of roads. See, the Romans
were the first real road builders. They spoke Latin and they learned to
build roads from the gods, known as the Ancient ones.
SAM: I'm still not following you.
DANIEL: Roads. Stargates. The 'gate builders. What if these Ancients were
the alien race who invented the Stargate?
SAM: You're still just speculating, right?
DANIEL: Well, that would certainly explain why Jack knew about Stargates the
Goa'uld haven't even discovered yet.
SAM: I don't know, Daniel. Why would they invent a device that would do
this?
DANIEL: 'The place of our legacy', to pass on their knowledge. Jack may have
the knowledge of the original 'gate builders downloaded into his brain.
JACK: Ego indeo navo locas.
DANIEL: Okay, ego means 'I'.
JACK: Indeo.
DANIEL: Need.
JACK: Navo.
DANIEL: New.
JACK: Locas.
Daniel looks the word up.
DANIEL: [Muttering] Locas, locas, locas. Locatia. Location. You need a new
location. You need a new location?
SAM: Where do ya wanna go?
Jack doesn't seem to know.
SAM: Okay, good luck you guys, I've got to get back to the computer. [She
turns to the blackboard] Sir, I really wish you could explain all this.
Jack hands her a notepad.
SAM: 'Ten equals eight'... [Mutters] Ten equals eight, ten equals eight
[Picks up chalk and adds to Jack's work] Ten equals eight. Sir, this is base
eight math!

Janet is updating Daniel and Jack on Jack's condition.
FRAISER: The problem may only be affecting the verbal language centre of
your brain. It's a different function than writing, but it looks like the
problem is advancing. Since he lost the ability to speak gradually, I think
whatever is affecting him might be taking over incrementally.
DANIEL: Well, what's the worst-case scenario?
FRAISER: Well your computer analogy is pretty good. Colonel, your hard drive
has been filled with information that is written in a language your computer
doesn't understand. If it continues to progress the way it has thus far you
may eventually lose the ability to write or even comprehend us. Or worse the
computer could shut down all together.

They all gather in the Briefing Room once more.
SAM: Sir, we've been sending probes through to the addresses Colonel O'Neill
entered into the computer, hoping that one would lead us to the race that
affected his mind. We think we may have found something.
DANIEL: P9Q-281 has a pedestal near the 'gate with symbols on it that match
the alien language that Jack is speaking.
HAMMOND: Then I suggest we check it out. You're authorised to go Captain;
Major Castleman will be joining SG-1 on this mission.
DANIEL: Well if Jack's not going then I have to stay.
HAMMOND: Why's that Doctor?
DANIEL: Well if Sam and Teal'c make contact with the Ancients then they can
report back and... and then Jack and I will go, but until then, I mean,
translating this language may be the most important thing we've done since
we opened the Stargate. You see I'm pretty sure that Jack is speaking the
language of the original 'gate builders, at the very least I'm positive that
it's one of the races that created the repository of information on Ernest's
planet, the, er, meaning of life stuff.
SAM: And, Sir, I believe that the equation Colonel O'Neill wrote on the
blackboard is a revolutionary formula for calculating the distance between
planetary bodies.
DANIEL: And, bottom line, Sir, what about Jack, right now I'm possibly his
only hope for communicating on any serious level. I can't leave him like
this, and I won't.
HAMMOND: Alright. The rest of you will leave at 1600 hours.

In the Gate Room, the Stargate engages.
HAMMOND: SG-1, your mission is a go.
Jack watches them leave.

Jack and Daniel are in Daniel's office.
DANIEL: Okay, I think we're getting hung up on the grammar.
Jack is pacing. He wants something. Daniel shrugs, asking
DANIEL: What?
JACK: [Typing on the computer] I have to go through the Stargate!
DANIEL: Okay, you have to go through the Stargate. Where, where to?
Jack doesn't know.
DANIEL: Back to the planet where this happened, you have to go back there?
Jack shakes his head.

In his office, General Hammond's typing on a laptop. There's a knock at the
door.
HAMMOND: Come.
SIMMONS: Sir, SG-1 did not return the probe on schedule.
HAMMOND: Lets open the 'gate and try to make contact.
SIMMONS: Yes, Sir.

General Hammond and Simmons are in the Control Room. The Stargate engages.
SIMMONS: SG-1 this is Stargate Command, do you read, over. [To General
Hammond] They're responding, Sir, video and audio.
SAM: Do not send rescue team. Repeat. Do not send rescue team.
HAMMOND: This is General Hammond. We copy Captain, where's Major Castleman?
SAM: He's looking for shelter, Sir. We're in a little trouble here, we can't
dial out; the DHD seized up when we tried to send the probe back.
Temperature here is increasing rapidly which probably explains why we
haven't found indigenous life forms. The probe data did not reveal a second
sun, which rose about half an hour ago. General, we're gonna get on heckuva
sunburn if we stay here much longer.
HAMMOND: Can you dial in manually?
SAM: Teal'c's attempting a manual dial now, Sir, but we can't do anything
with the wormhole open from your end.
HAMMOND: I copy that, Captain. If you're not back in one hour we will open
the wormhole again for further communication. Good luck, SGC out.

Meanwhile, Jack's making something. It's the device he drew on his pad
during the debriefing. Daniel enters.
DANIEL: What's he doing now?
FRAISER: Building something. I've been taking some notes but I'm finding it
a little hard to follow.
Daniel takes Janet to one side.
DANIEL: I have to go downstairs; Sam and Teal'c are in trouble.
FRAISER: What?
DANIEL: Just don't tell Jack, I think he's got enough on his mind.

General Hammond's meeting with the scientists and technicians.
SCIENCE TECH: Sir, this Mylar material added to a standard issue field tent
should provide 10-20 degrees worth of protection.
SIMMONS: We've augmented some air coolers to work with portable generators.
DANIEL: But how are they gonna get home?
SCIENCE TECH: Well, based on Captain Carter's description of the problem
we've been running probability tests using the function data we correlated
so far, from the DHD found in Antarctica.
HAMMOND: [To Daniel] Do you understand what he just said?
DANIEL: It sounds like they have no idea.
SCIENCE TECH: Well actually it's not no idea, Sir, just not much of one yet.
SIMMONS: ...but we're working on it.

In the Control Room, Sam is on one of the monitors.
SAM: Manual dial in failed, Sir. DHD is stuck mid-dial and seems to be
locking the 'gate in place.
DANIEL: [To Simmons] Are we recording this?
SIMMONS: Yes, Sir.
SAM: By my calculations we could be facing a temperature of over 200 degrees
Fahrenheit in less than four hours.
HAMMOND: Captain, we're sending through a package of heat resistant tents
and portable air coolers.
SAM: General, I don't think you understand how hot it's gonna get. Nothing
you send us will provide enough protection. We'll be dead before the end of
the day, Sir.

Jack is just finishing building the machine. Daniel enters.
FRAISER: I think he's finished.
DANIEL: What is it?
Jack turns it on, a light comes on and it hums.
DANIEL: That's it?
Jack has no idea.
DANIEL: Okay, well lets, er, lets just leave this thing for now, believe it
or not I have something a little more important to discuss.
They go to Daniel's office.
DANIEL: I didn't want to tell you this before because I thought you had
enough on your mind. Sam, Teal'c and the rest of SG-1 are in trouble; the
DHD on P9Q-281 isn't working and they can't get home; to make matters worse
there's a very hot sun rising. They don't have much time.
He puts the video in the machine and plays it.
SAM: [On the video, obviously] ...the rest of the symbols won't engage, the
DHD is locking the 'gate in place so we can't dial out manually. I've tried
everything I know about these things.
He pauses the video.
DANIEL: Look, no-one else believes you have the knowledge of the original
'gate builders in your head right now except me.
Jack grabs some paper and drawing equipment and starts drawing.
FRAISER: What... What's he doing?
DANIEL: I don't know.
FRAISER: Do you think this is going to help?
DANIEL: I... I don't, I really don't... know.
Jack writes something and moves it so that they can read it.
DANIEL: [Reading Jack's note]: Shut up and go away.
They both leave Jack to work on his own.

In the Briefing Room, a group of scientists are updating Hammond on ways
they might solve SG-1's problem.
SIMMONS: The problem they're having is powering up the DHD and getting it to
recharge its capacitors.
SCIENCE TECH: Removing the power source and reinstalling always rebooted the
system in the tests.
SIMMONS: But we never simulated a mid-dial lock out.
Daniel, Jack and Janet enter, with the plans Jack was drawing and his
machine.
DANIEL: We have to dial in right now.
HAMMOND: What is it?
FRAISER: The Colonel has a solution.
SCIENCE TECH: He does?
Jack rolls out the plans on the table.
DANIEL: We weren't sure what he was drawing at first but...
SCIENCE TECH: That's the dial home device.
DANIEL: And the instructions on how to fix it. There isn't much time.
As they leave the scientists, Daniel puts Jack's machine on the table.
DANIEL: Here, you guys can, er, work on this for a while.
SCIENCE TECH: What is it?
DANIEL: No idea, well not no idea, just not much of one yet, but work on it.

In the Control Room...
SIMMONS: The object has reached its destination, Sir.
The Stargate disengages.
HAMMOND: Now we have to hope those instructions were right.
Some time later, the Stargate opens and SG-1 appears. Sam looks very
sunburnt.
HAMMOND: Glad to have you back.
SAM: Thought our goose was quite literally cooked this time, Sir. These
plans were perfect, who came up with them?
General Hammond looks at Jack.
SAM: Colonel?
Jack shrugs.
TEALC: [To Jack] I am sorry O'Neill. We could not find a way to help you.

Daniel and Teal'c are looking over Jack's machine. Sam enters.
DANIEL: Feel better?
SAM: Much, thanks. Is this what you wanted to show me?
DANIEL: Yes, Jack built it but no-one seems to be able to figure out what
[He switches it on] it is.
SAM: Colonel, you have no idea what it is or why you built it?
Jack shakes his head.
OVER INTERCOM: Captain Carter to the control room, Captain Carter to the
control room.
Sam leaves the room.

In the Control Room...
HAMMOND: [To Sam] We were preparing to send SG-11 to the next new Stargate
address that Colonel O'Neill programmed into the computer.
SIMMONS: The 'gate wouldn't dial out, the computer's frozen.
SAM: That doesn't make any sense, we've just run a full diagnostic. The
Stargate's trying to draw more power than usual from the system.

Jack picks up his machine and hurriedly leaves the room.
DANIEL: I'm guessing we should follow him.
Jack enters the cage surrounding the power breakers and hooks the machine to
the power system.
TEALC: Should we not attempt to stop him Daniel Jackson?
DANIEL: Wait a minute. Jack, what are you doing?
JACK: Euge.
DANIEL: I think that means 'good'. Jack, I really don't know if this is a
good thing.
JACK: Euge. Euge.
DANIEL: I don't think he understands us anymore.
Jack switches the machine on. It hums and glows.

In the Control Room...
SAM: Sir, somehow the Stargate just got a huge power boost. It's drawing ten
times more power than normal.
HAMMOND: Isn't that impossible?
SAM: Yes, Sir, the circuits should've blown.
HAMMOND: [On the phone] This is General Hammond. I want Sergeant Siler and a
maintenance crew to the power room immediately.
The Stargate starts to dial out on its own.
SAM: Er, Sir, the 'gate is dialling out.
HAMMOND: Where to?
SAM: I have no way of knowing. We've completely lost control, Sir.
Airmen start dashing around the complex, brandishing guns.
SCIENCE TECH: Chevron five is encoded.
Daniel, Jack and Teal'c enter.
DANIEL: The device that Jack built is some sort of energy source; he just
hooked it up in the power vault.
SAM: Well, that explains where the 'gate's getting all the extra power.
HAMMOND: I would not have authorised that Doctor Jackson. [To Sam] Captain,
how do we stop this?
SAM: You could have Siler pull the main breaker.
SIMMONS: Chevron six is encoded.
DANIEL: Wait; Jack has been saying that this is a good thing. Now so far
he's done nothing bad.
HAMMOND: So far.
SIMMONS: Chevron seven... is encoded?
SAM: And it's not the point of origin.
HAMMOND: What?
DANIEL: General, what if all these anomalies that have been happening to
Jack, are part of some big plan?
HAMMOND: What plan?
DANIEL: Well, earlier Jack was telling me he had to go through the 'gate.
Maybe everything up until now has been leading to this. [He indicates the
Stargate]
SAM: What's it doing?
SIMMONS: Chevron eight is locked.
The Stargate goes kawoosh.
SIMMONS: Wormhole is tracking... Captain?
SAM: Sir, the computer indicates that the wormhole is leaving our known
network of Stargates; it's going outside of our galaxy. Far out.
DANIEL: That's why the 'gate needed all the extra power.
HAMMOND: Hold on, I thought Stargate addresses were six points in space with
the seventh being the point of origin.
SAM: The extra chevron must add a new distance calculation to the existing
points, kinda like dialling a different area code.
HAMMOND: Now what?
Jack starts for the door.
HAMMOND: Colonel!
Jack stops as a guard blocks his path.
HAMMOND: I'm just supposed to let you go?
DANIEL: He's already gone, General; I don't think we have much of a choice.
General Hammond nods and lets Jack go. Jack enters the Gate Room followed by
Daniel, General Hammond and Teal'c.
TEALC: I will accompany you O'Neill.
DANIEL: I really think he needs to do this alone, Teal'c.
Jack walks up the ramp and stops in front of the Stargate.
HAMMOND: I really hope this is the right thing to do.
Sam enters the Gate Room.
SAM: Wait, without the remote code device he won't be able to get back.
HAMMOND: Without knowing where he's going and why, that could put us in
further jeopardy. I'm sorry, I can't authorise it.
Daniel goes up to Jack.
DANIEL: Jack. You understand that if you do this, if you go, you might not
be able to come back.
Jack looks at Daniel, then leaves...

Everyone goes back into the Control Room.
SIMMONS: Traveller is still on route... [Computer beeps] we've lost the
traveller!

On the other side of the Stargate, Jack is thrown out and lands heavily on
the floor.
JACK: Arrgh!
The Stargate disengages. Jack gets up to sees lots of Asgard aliens
whispering. There are hundreds of them within a long hall, but two are
standing right in front of him.
JACK: Ego... deserdi... asordo...
ASGARD 1: [In the Asgard language] He's human. From Earth.
ASGARD 2: [In the Asgard language] But he's speaking the language of the
Ancients.
JACK: Comdo... asordo...
ASGARD 2: [In the Asgard language] He wants help.
The Asgard uses a device that extracts the knowledge from Jack. Jack
collapses, unconscious.

In the Control Room...
SAM: Prepare to redial. The computer won't accept the eighth chevron.
The phone rings.
HAMMOND: [Into the phone] Hammond.
SIMMONS: It's Sergeant Siler, Sir; the device that's hooked to the power
grid seems to be dead.

On the Asgard planet, Jack comes around. The Asgard are still whispering.
JACK: Hello. [He gets to his knees] Um. Thank you.
ASGARD 1: You are welcome.
JACK: You understand me?
ASGARD 2: We speak many languages.
JACK: You're the Asgard, Thor's race, right?
ASGARD 1: You have heard of us?
JACK: Nothing but good things.
ASGARD 2: You looked into the archive that stores all the Ancients'
knowledge.
JACK: Apparently.
ASGARD 2: It was not meant for you.
JACK: What, this was all an accident?
ASGARD 1: Human physiology has not advanced to the point where your brain
could handle that technology.
JACK: Oh. So where am I?
ASGARD 1: This is the Asgard planet, Othala, in the galaxy of Ida.
JACK: Why did I come here?
ASGARD 2: The Ancients moved on from our region of space long ago, but your
sub-conscious mind used their knowledge to find us here, where you could get
help.
ASGARD 1: Very impressive.
JACK: Well, you know...
ASGARD 1: We did not think your brains had advanced even that far.
JACK: How is it you know so much about our brains?
ASGARD 1: We have studied your race closely.
JACK: Ah. What did you learn?
ASGARD 2: That your species has great potential.
JACK: Great potential, that's good.
ASGARD 1: Understand this, there was once an alliance of four great races in
the galaxy; the Asgard, the Nox...
JACK: Met them.
ASGARD 1: ...the Furlings...
JACK: Don't know them.
ASGARD 1: ...and the Ancients, the builders of the Stargates.
JACK: Pretty heady group.
ASGARD 1: The alliance was built over many millennia. Your race has much to
prove before we may interact on that level.
Jack stands up and approaches the two main Asgards; there's more whispering
from the others.
JACK: Look, you all seem to be quite wonderful... people [He crouches down
to their level] and I don't want to sound ungrateful because I really,
really appreciate you getting all that stuff out of my head, but you folks
should understand that we're out there, now, and we might not be ready for a
lot of this stuff but we're doing the best we can. We are a very curious
race.
A1 offers Jack his hand, and Jack takes it. Then he stands up.
ASGARD 2: You have already taken the first steps towards becoming the fifth
race.

In the Control Room...
SAM: Sir, we're gonna have to shut the whole system down and reboot.
HAMMOND: Can you close the Stargate if necessary?
SAM: Apparently not.
DANIEL: That's not good.
HAMMOND: Captain, I don't care what you have to do, I want control of this
system back.
SAM: Yes, Sir, I'm trying.
The Stargate starts to dial!
SAM: We have an incoming wormhole.
The Stargate opens and Jack appears. Daniel and Teal'c leave the control
room.
SAM: Everything seems to be back online again, Sir, including the iris.
HAMMOND: Good work, Captain.

In the Gate Room...
JACK: I'm back.
DANIEL: What happened?
TEALC: Do you still possess the knowledge of the Ancients?
JACK: Nope. Don't remember a thing. [To Daniel] But ya know that meaning of
life stuff?
Daniel nods slightly.
JACK: I think we're gonna be alright...

Episode 33 - "Tok'ra 2"

SG-1 are in the Council Chamber. Garshaw walks in.
GARSHAW: You wish to see me?
JACK: Daniel.
DANIEL: Garshaw, could you at least tell us why you've turned down our
request for an alliance?
GARSHAW: We have decided that your limited resources do not offer us enough
of a reward to risk the high security breach that your knowledge of us will
cause.
JACK: That's it?
DANIEL: Well, at least allow us some time to try to find some technology,
some skill, something that you don't have.
GARSHAW: I'm sorry, I don't believe it exists.
JACK: So we are prisoners. You've looking like Goa'uld to me.
GARSHAW: We are doing this for your protection as well as ours. Knowledge of
our whereabouts makes you and your world a priority target for the Goa'uld
System Lords.
JACK: We're already a priority target.
TEALC: They previously despatched two motherships to destroy us.
SAM: There's another reason, isn't there? Something else bothers you about
us.
GARSHAW: That is correct. None of you have volunteered to be a host to one
of us who is dying! Now if you're so disgusted with the very thought of
blending, how can we be associated with one another? I mean it is obvious
that you have distaste for our very being.
DANIEL: No, it is simply a lack of understanding. We have no hatred for you
at all.
GARSHAW: Then be a host to Selmak.
DANIEL: Well I wish I could say I was okay with that, but...
GARSHAW: The very thought sickens you. There is nothing more to be said.
There will be no alliance. You will remain here until we say otherwise. [She
walks off]


OPENING CREDITS

In the room with the pools, SG-1 and SG-3 are being guarded by Tok'ra with
staff weapons.
SAM: Colonel Makepeace? Did anyone tell you how far along my father is?
MAKEPEACE: No, I was only told to get you back as soon as possible.
SAM: He doesn't even know why I'm not there for him. He thinks I'm off
somewhere working on some damn satellite dish or something.
JACK: We're gonna get you back there Carter. The good news is, there's eight
of us now.
DANIEL: That's good news?
JACK: Yes. More manpower.
TEALC: Is this another one of your strange jokes, O'Neill?
JACK: Ah, no.
TEALC: It would be impossible. There is only one way out, via the rings. We
would then have to elude hundreds of Tok'ra.
SAM: I for one don't want to hurt any of them.
JACK: Look, I'm not too thrilled about hurting anyone either. But keep in
mind these people wanna make you a host, and as I recall you said that whole
'Jolinar Goa'uld in the head' deal was one of the worst things that ever
happened to you!
SAM: That's before I understood it better. If I wasn't fighting her and I
knew what it meant for Jolinar to be a Tok'ra, it might have been, I don't
know, enlightening. [She gets up] I need to see Garshaw!
DANIEL: What?
SAM: What is the one thing that they need the most?
DANIEL: Well, hosts, which we can't give them.
Garshaw enters, Martouf's there too.
GARSHAW: What is it?
SAM: You said that the symbiote can cure most problems in a human.
GARSHAW: Yes.
MARTOUF: What is cancer?
DANIEL: It's a disease in humans where the cells grow out of control, you
get tumours...
GARSHAW: Oh yes, it's a common ailment amongst your species. We cure it all
the time, it's no problem.
SAM: Colonel, I think we should at least try to offer it to my Dad?
JACK: We might have a host for you.
GARSHAW: You have a host for Selmak?
SAM: Yes. My father. He's got cancer and if Selmak can save his life I think
he'd be willing to try it.
JACK: But you have to let us go back.
GARSHAW: I will let two of you go. But the rest will remain to ensure that
you will return.


In the Gate Room, the Stargate activates. General Hammond greets Sam and
Jack.
HAMMOND: Colonel O'Neill, where's Colonel Makepeace, SG-3, they were
supposed to extract only Captain Carter.
JACK: General, we need to talk.


In the Briefing Room.
HAMMOND: Captain Carter, I am truly sorry about your father, but I have to
question the wisdom of what you're suggesting here. From what I've seen,
this won't exactly be saving his life. It'll be more like giving his body to
a Goa'uld.
SAM: No Sir, more like letting one share it.
HAMMOND: Jacob knows a lot about Earth, about the US military. This would be
like handing over that information to the Goa'uld.
SAM: To the Tok'ra.
HAMMOND: You sure there's a difference?
JACK: Oh yes Sir, there's a difference, believe me. I won't even pretend to
understand what the difference is, but there is one. One minute you're
talking to a Goa'uld, the next minute you're talking to a regular guy.
Person.
SAM: Host.
JACK: Host.
HAMMOND: How do you know it isn't just a trick? We've seen the Goa'uld speak
as humans before.
JACK: Well General, if these were your everyday run of the mill greasy arsed
Goa'uld, they would have made us their hosts already.
HAMMOND: They were holding you prisoner, Colonel. Still are holding SG-3 and
the rest of your team!
SAM: Only temporarily Sir. And they thought it was to protect us as much as
them.
There's silence for a moment.
JACK: Yeah, I didn't buy that one myself, Sir.
SAM: General Hammond, please, I know my father would want to do this. He
would have the opportunity to serve as the liaison between ourselves and
possibly the most important ally we will ever have.


On the Tok'ra planet, a lone Tok'ra runs across the desert.


In the pool room...
TEALC: I would like to take this opportunity to express my admiration for
your cause. It is both honourable and brave.
GARSHAW: Thankyou Jaffa. I must say I feel the same about you. To break from
Apophis and then turn to fight him shows great conviction of character.
MARTOUF: Master Garshaw, we just received word from our scout in the
Shoran'ka quadrant. The Goa'uld System Lords have been told where we are.
They have dispatched two motherships.
GARSHAW: When will they arrive?
MARTOUF: Within the day, perhaps hours.
GARSHAW: Start the evacuation!
The Tok'ra scatter.


General Hammond goes into Jacob's hospital room, with Sam.
HAMMOND: Clear the room, people.
JACOB CARTER: I told you not to recall her.
SAM: Happy to see you too, Dad.
HAMMOND: You wanted me to tell you what Captain Carter does, so I thought
maybe she could tell you herself.
JACOB CARTER: Yeah? What happened to the classification?
HAMMOND: It's still classified. But you just got clearance.
JACOB CARTER: [Sighs] Why?
SAM: Well, believe it or not, we need your help, Dad.
JACOB CARTER: [Laughs and coughs] What? The Pentagon wants me to deliver a
message to God when I get up there?
HAMMOND: Not exactly.
JACOB CARTER: Well I don't plan to see the other guy.
SAM: Dad, have you ever heard of the Stargate program?
JACOB CARTER: No, is that one of your satellites?
SAM: I don't work with satellites, Dad, that was just a cover.
JACOB CARTER: No kidding. I never would have guessed. So tell me, what do
you do that's so great you don't want me to get you into the astronaut
program?
SAM: Well, this is gonna be a lot for you to take in at once.
JACOB CARTER: Stop beating around the bush. What do you do?
SAM: I travel to other planets. Much farther away than any astronaut goes.
JACOB CARTER: So you're not going to tell me the truth.
HAMMOND: She is telling you the truth, Jacob.
JACOB CARTER: She goes to other planets. What, like in simulations?
HAMMOND: No. In reality.
SAM: We discovered a piece of alien technology. It can send us to thousands
of planets all over the galaxy.
JACOB CARTER: You're not kidding, are you.
SAM: No.
JACOB CARTER: Holy Hannah! So what do you want me to do?
SAM: Well, we'd like you to travel to one of these planets with us.
JACOB CARTER: Why? So I can die there?
SAM: No. Actually, I'm hoping what we want you to do will cure your cancer.
JACOB CARTER: They have a cure there? What's the catch?
HAMMOND: It's a doozie, Jacob, I won't lie to you on that.


Sam and Jack take Jacob into the Gate Room. The Stargate is dialing.
TECH: Chevron 6 locked.
JACOB CARTER: So this is the alien thing you found?
SAM: Yup.
JACOB CARTER: And it sends you to other planets?
TECH: Chevron 7 locked.
The Stargate goes kawoosh. Jacob gasps.
JACK: How about them apples, huh?
SAM: Let's go Dad.
They walk up the ramp.
JACOB CARTER: Does it - what does it feel like?
SAM: You've handled worse, Dad.
JACK: It's a piece of cake, Sir.
They walk through the Stargate, and emerge on the planet.
JACOB CARTER: You do that a lot?
SAM: Yeah, once or twice a week.
JACOB CARTER: It beats the hell out of a shuttle on the back of a rocket.
JACK: Goes a lot further, too. You know, I was kind of expecting a little
greeting party or something.
JACOB CARTER: You sure this is another planet? It looks like Earth.
SAM: Yeah, we figure the Stargate system was built specifically to transport
humans or something close to humans in physiology. So it seems to go mostly
to places where the environment supports human life.


In the tunnels, people are rushing around, moving equipment. Jack, Sam and
Jacob are transported into the midst of the excitement. SG-3 are helping the
Tok'ra.
JACK: Makepeace?
MAKEPEACE: Alright airman, carry on.
JACK: What the heck's going on?
MAKEPEACE: We're free.
JACK: Then why are you still here?
MAKEPEACE: Well, we wanna be allies, right, so we're lending a hand with the
evacuation.
JACK: What evacuation?
MAKEPEACE: Come on, I'll explain as we go.
They walk down the tunnels.
SAM: Dad, this is Teal'c. Teal'c, this my father.
TEALC: It is an honor.
DANIEL: This is where they've been stacking our stuff.
They arrive at a receding tunnel.
TEALC: Chel nak.
DANIEL: Direct translation, very cool.
JACK: Okay, you wanna tell me what's going on now?
DANIEL: They're evacuating so we're free to go.
JACK: Why?
TEALC: The System Lords are ready to attack. The Goa'uld motherships are on
the way.
JACK: Oh.


Shot of two Goa'uld motherships, in space


JACK: Alright, where do we find Garshaw?
TEALC: We last saw her in the council chamber.
JACK: Alright boys, let's go. [To Sam] Call if you need me.
SAM: Thanks.


Sam and Jacob go to Selmak's room.
LANTESH: You have returned.
SAM: Yes. This is my father, Jacob Carter.
LANTESH: Honoured.
MARTOUF: I am Martouf. You have a very special daughter.
JACOB CARTER: Why does he talk like that?
SAM: He's a Tok'ra Dad, I told you about them.
JACOB CARTER: Oh, so these are the aliens you were telling me about?
SAM: Well, I don't know if I'd call them aliens, sort of half alien I guess.
I mean, the outside is human, and the inside is shared between a human and a
symbiote. Martouf is actually two different... souls, I guess, sharing the
same body.
JACOB CARTER: And that's what you want me to become. You gotta be kidding
me.


Daniel, Teal'c and Jack are walking down one of the tunnels.
JACK: So fill me in. How'd the System Lords find them?
TEALC: That is unknown.
JACK: Are we talking about a spy here, or what?
DANIEL: Well, if that's the case, moving to another planet's not gonna do
them much good.
JACK: Teal'c, you know those little teleball things?
TEALC: The long range visual communications device.
JACK: Right. How small do they make those?
TEALC: I have seen them small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.


In Selmak's room...
JACOB CARTER: I'm not sure I can do this Sam.
LANTESH: No-one wishes to pressure you in any way, Sir. The decision is
yours, but before deciding, might I suggest that you take a moment to get to
know the symbiote that wishes to blend with you.
JACOB CARTER: [Indicating Saroosh] This is her?
SAM: Actually, you can only see the host, the symbiote's inside her.
JACOB CARTER: Inside her.
SAM: Talk to her Dad, get to know her.
SELMAK: If you agree to the blending, we could be together for a very long
time. [She coughs]
JACOB CARTER: You don't look so good.
SELMAK: You are no vision of beauty yourself, Sir!
Jacob laughs, but it deteriorates into a cough. Selmak/Saroosh and Jacob
both cough!
JACOB CARTER: It's alright, sorry.
SAROOSH: I'm the one to whom you should be talking.
JACOB CARTER: You are the one I'm talking to. Why, why did your voice change
like that?
SAM: That's the host talking now.
SAROOSH: I am Saroosh. I am in the position to help you most.
JACOB CARTER: How's that?
SAROOSH: I will die, Selmak will live on, you will take my place as host.
JACOB CARTER: Um, I don't understand.
SAROOSH: Selmak is a wonderful Tok'ra, she is selfless and caring, she is
good company, she has a wonderful sense of humour.
SAM: Well that's good Dad, you can sit around for hours cracking yourself
up.
JACOB CARTER: That's funny.
SAROOSH: She's not far wrong. I've had almost two hundred years of laughter
thanks to Selmak. I'm biased, of course, but I believe that Selmak is among
the best educated of the Tok'ra. You will probably be overwhelmed by the
knowledge and wisdom you will gain upon blending.
JACOB CARTER: So, I get all of this thing's, erm, what did you call it.. in
their head?
SAM: Symbiote.
JACOB CARTER: Yeah. I get all its memories and stuff?
SAM: Yeah, Dad, something like that.
SAROOSH: Then I won't deceive you, Sir, we have some pretty awful things
buried in our memory.
JACOB CARTER: Such as?
SAROOSH: Memories of countless Goa'uld atrocities, the loss of the host
before me, and you will feel the mourning for my loss.
JACOB CARTER: Will you excuse me ma'am?
He rushes off and throws up. Sam follows him.
JACOB CARTER: I'm sorry. I didn't want my future, erm, I guess you could
call her soulmate, to see me like this.
SAM: Dad, you don't have to do this.
JACOB CARTER: Yes I do. My only other choice is death, and that's not
acceptable. Look, don't worry, it's not just hearing all that stuff that
made me lose my stomach, it's the chemo. And the trip through that damn
Stargate thing.
SAM: It's okay. This is a lot of weird information for anyone to take in at
once. Trust me, I know.
JACOB CARTER: Okay.


Daniel, Teal'c and Jack walk in as Garshaw's packing.
JACK: Garshaw?
GARSHAW: What can I do for you?
JACK: I think you might have a spy in your ranks.
GARSHAW: Nonsense, the Tok'ra are loyal for life!
TEALC: How then were you located by the System Lords?
GARSHAW: How did you find us?
DANIEL: Well we did have a spy in our ranks.
TEALC: Jolinar of Malk-shur, through Captain Carter.
GARSHAW: I suppose you know the name of the spy?
JACK: I've got a pretty good idea.
GARSHAW: Who?
JACK: Well, I don't wanna point fingers, but I'd keep my eye on Cordesh.
GARSHAW: Cordesh? Why do you say that?
JACK: You folks make a habit of walking around with those little teleball
dealie... what are they?
TEALC: He speaks of a long range visual communications device.
GARSHAW: We don't have those, we have no use for them. The system is not
secure.
JACK: Well your buddy Cordesh has one.
GARSHAW: Tok'ra kree! Tal shak Cordesh, kree!
Tok'ra run off in search of Cordesh.
JACK: Better stay here. [He runs off with the Tok'ra]
DANIEL: We'll stay here.


They find Cordesh in one of the shrinking tunnels.
GARSHAW: Cordesh, you must come with me and face questioning.
CORDESH: I'm not what I appear to be! Cordesh is no longer! I couldn't stop
him! I'm as guilty as he was!
GARSHAW: You must leave the tunnel and explain yourself, Cordesh.
CORDESH: I don't deserve to remain among the Tok'ra.
He screams as he's squashed by the vanishing tunnel...
JACK: Ouch.


In Selmak's room...
JACOB CARTER: Okay, what do I have to do?
MARTOUF: First, Selmak would like to interview you.
SELMAK: If I am to spend the next hundred or more years with you as my host,
do you not think I have the right to decide if I even like you?
JACOB CARTER: [Laughs] What's not to like? Just ask my daughter, I'm a teddy
bear.
SAM: Oh yeah, real... teddy bear.
SAROOSH: How do you feel about the Goa'uld?
JACOB CARTER: Well you're the first one I've met.
SAROOSH: I am not a Goa'uld.
JACOB CARTER: Ah, trick question?
SAM: Remember, Dad, I tried to explain the difference.
JACOB CARTER: Right, right, I apologise. I guess I've never met a Goa'uld
before. Although from what Sam and her people tell me, I don't think I like
them much.
Sam and Martouf walk to the doorway, giving the others some privacy.
SELMAK: Tell me, Sir, are you a good man?
JACOB CARTER: [Laughs] You're kidding, right?
SELMAK: No, we'll be spending the rest of our lives together.
JACOB CARTER: Look, forgive me for being blunt, but you're dying, right?
SELMAK: My host is, yes.
JACOB CARTER: And you'll die with her unless you and I, er... what did you
call it? Blend, right?
SELMAK: Yes.
JACOB CARTER: And I'll die too, unless we do this. So my point is, good man,
bad man, what difference does it make? We don't have a choice. And I don't
mind telling you the whole idea scares the hell outta me. So can we just get
it over with?
SELMAK: I have decided I like you.
JACOB CARTER: Super.
SELMAK: But I must be sure that you understand, there will be no turning
back. I cannot blend with you, cure your disease, then leave. To do so would
probably kill us both.
JACOB CARTER: I understand. Let me ask you something though. After we do
this, will I still be able to talk to my daughter?
SELMAK: The way Saroosh talked to you, yes. But you and your daughter must
understand, the blending may not work at all. I am very weak, and the damage
to your body may be too extensive.
JACOB CARTER: In other words, we might die anyway.
SELMAK: Yes.
JACOB CARTER: Then can you give me five with my kid?
SELMAK: Of course.
LANTESH: You must hurry, we don't have a lot of time.
JACOB CARTER: Listen Sam, I was never good at this stuff.
SAM: Dad, you don't have to say anything.
JACOB CARTER: You gotta know one thing. How proud I am of you. I'm not good
at saying these things enough.
SAM: I think you just said it pretty well.
JACOB CARTER: Even when I thought you were this whizz satellite geek, I was
proud. That's all I want to say.
SAM: Please Dad.
JACOB CARTER: Hey, I know, I'm a pain in the arse. [Laughs] Maybe this
Tok'ra lady will, er, sand off some of the rough edges. It might be a good
thing, right?
SAM: Could be. The longer we wait the less chance there is.
JACOB CARTER: Okay, what do I do?


In the pool room...
GARSHAW: Cordesh must be guilty of something or he would not have allowed
himself to be buried.
JACK: What, he had a choice?
GARSHAW: I must thank you. You may have saved the Tok'ra a great many
losses.
JACK: You're welcome.
GARSHAW: But, you still have nothing to offer us.
JACK: What?
DANIEL: Well, actually, I think we do.
JACK: Do we?
DANIEL: Well, the one thing you need the most we can provide. Hosts.
JACK: Daniel...?
DANIEL: Well, think about it, if it works for Sam's father, then there must
be other people in similar situations.
JACK: It's worth exploring.
GARSHAW: It is.


In Selmak's room, Jacob and Saroosh lie on the stone bed facing each other.
MARTOUF: We do not enter our hosts through the back of the neck. This just
leaves a scar that many of us find unsettling.
SAM: So why don't the Goa'uld do it this way too?
MARTOUF: They don't wish to remember the horror of their host's face
whenever they see their own reflection in the mirror. You must step away,
Captain Carter.
JACOB CARTER: Goodbye, kid.
JACOB CARTER: [Clears his throat] Now what?
SELMAK: Kiss me.
JACOB CARTER: You're kidding, right?
SELMAK: No, I'm not.
Jacob leans towards Saroosh, and the symbiote enters him. Saroosh dies.
SELMAK: Goodbye, dear friend.
SAM: He's alive. Is he okay?
MARTOUF: He's very sick. And Selmak is weak. She may not have the strength
to heal him.
SAM: Well, is there anything we can do to help?
MARTOUF: Nothing. Only time will tell.
Another Tok'ra dashes in.
MALE TOKRA: Our scouts have spotted the Goa'uld ships dropping from
hyperspace. They will start attacking from the air and through the 'gate
within hours. Garshaw orders that we must destroy the complex.
SAM: We need time! Can we move him?
MARTOUF: If we do so if will kill them.
Sam strokes Jacob's head.


In the corridor, Jack sees the Woman Tok'ra carrying a box.
JACK: Scuse me. [He grabs the woman's arm]
YOSUF: What are you doing?
JACK: I'll apologise if I'm wrong. [He opens the box - it contains an orb!]
Cordesh had one of these.
YOSUF: So there are two spies.
JACK: Or not. Cordesh said he wasn't who he appeared to be.
TEALC: Goa'uld can jump hosts to hide, much as Jolinar of Malk-shur.
YOSUF: Cordesh?
FEMALE TOKRA: The plague that is the Tok'ra will soon be wiped out!
GARSHAW: I am sickened to think I once called you my friend, Cordesh, but I
want you to know - the System Lords will fall, but you won't be alive to see
it. [To other Tok'ra people] Attempt to remove Cordesh from the host without
harming her. Then put this traitor in one of the vanishing tunnels. [She
kisses Jack on both of his cheeks] I believe I shall be proud to call you
friend.


Gliders zoom towards the planet... The people beneath the surface crowd into
Selmak's room.
YOSUF: Martouf, all tunnels but this one and the escape tunnel have
vanished. All the other Tok'ra have gone to the new homeworld; we must go
now!
SAM: But what about my father?
YOSUF: When and if he awakens, Selmak knows where we'll be. He can follow.
DANIEL: But the Goa'uld are coming, they'll capture him.
YOSUF: If he's captured, he will die before he will reveal our whereabouts.
SAM: Well, then take him with you!
JACK: Or we'll take him with us.
MARTOUF: I'm afraid that to transport him now, he will die. He needs to
remain stationary until Selmak has completed her repairs.
SAM: We can't just leave him here!
MARTOUF: I will remain with him. If I can get him out, I will. If not, I
will allow the vanishing tunnels to consume us before the Goa'uld get here.
GARSHAW: I cannot allow you to die in this way. We must leave now!
SAM: I'll stay.
GARSHAW: You are even more vulnerable since you contain the memories of
Jolinar! I cannot allow you to stay. We must go now!
JACK: She's right, Captain. We have to go.
SAM: With respect, no, Sir. I am not leaving him here.
MARTOUF: Captain Carter and I will both remain. I will assure that we will
not be taken by the Goa'uld.
SAM: Please, Colonel. I need to be here.
JACK: Right. Daniel? Teal'c? Let's go.
They leave, and emerge on the planet's surface.
YOSUF: We may not have much time before the Goa'uld come through the 'gate
blocking our way.
DANIEL: We can take you to our planet and then send you to your new home
from there.
JACK: Daniel, start dialling home.
DANIEL: Well shouldn't we wait for Carter?
TEALC: O'Neill!
Gliders are approaching!
JACK: Dial!
Daniel runs and starts dialing. The Gliders fire - they run and jump through
the Stargate.


In Selmak's room...
SAM: Oh God, I hope I've done the right thing bringing him here.
MARTOUF: From what I understand the alternative was no better.
SAM: True.


In the Gate Room, Jack, General Hammond, Garshaw, Teal'c and Daniel wait...
HAMMOND: Can your man defend them against an attack?
GARSHAW: Only minimally.
DANIEL: Garshaw, what will Martouf do if the Goa'uld get too close?
GARSHAW: I regret that at the risk of capture, Martouf will destroy the
underground compound, with himself and all your people with it.


In Selmak's room...
JACOB CARTER: Ah.
SAM: Dad?
SELMACK: Martouf?
MARTOUF: I am here.
SELMACK: Should we not make our escape?
MARTOUF: Yes, we should.
SAM: Ah, is my Dad in there somewhere?
JACOB CARTER: [Sighs] I'm here Sam. Oh man, talk about your hangover.
SAM: How are you Dad?
JACOB CARTER: I'm awful. Headache the size of Kuwait. There's too much stuff
in here. [He gets off of the bed] Whoah!
SAM: What?
JACOB CARTER: [Laughs] No more arthritis! Holy Hannah! No more arthritis!
MARTOUF: We should make our leave as soon as possible. This way.
They go through the tunnels, which vanish behind them.


SGC TECH: Still no SG-1 signal Sir.


They activate the rings and get onto the planet's surface.
MARTOUF: The Goa'uld are attempting to come through the 'gate.
SAM: Not if I dial out first! [She dials] We'll go to Earth. You two can go
wherever you need to from there.
The Stargate engages.
SAM: Did we open the 'gate or did they?
SELMACK: We have no choice!
Gliders zoom overhead.
SAM: Wait! [She taps the GDO]


SGC TECH: There's the signal.
HAMMOND: Open the iris!


The Gliders fire. They jump through the 'gate, and end up in the Gate Room.
SAROOSH: I must give you thanks. You have saved my life and that of my new
host. We thank you.
GARSHAW: This is wonderful news.
HAMMOND: Yes. Can we talk to your host?
JACOB CARTER: [Clears his throat] So when the little fella inside me is
talking, do I sound like she does?
TEALC: That is correct.
JACOB CARTER: That's strange. I can feel myself talking, but it's not Me
saying the words. You know?
JACK: Don't know. Take your word for it.
DANIEL: How do you feel?
JACOB CARTER: Well, considering I got one of those things inside me, pretty
damn good! Listen, George, because of this blending thing, I already know
everything there is to know about the Tok'ra. You made the right call.
HAMMOND: I hope so.
JACOB CARTER: I would be proud to serve as liaison between the Earth and
these people.
HAMMOND: Good. Well on that note, perhaps you can ask them to come with me
to do a little debriefing.
GARSHAW: I'm afraid we cannot. We must go.
TEALC: You are safe here.
GARSHAW: Because of the spy, the Goa'uld may already be at the site the
Tok'ra have moved to.
SAM: You can't stay a little longer?
MARTOUF: No, we must go quickly and stop the tunnels there before they are
grown.
GARSHAW: We must move the Tok'ra to yet another new home. Do you not have a
dialling device here?
JACK: Yeah, we slapped a little one together.
GARSHAW: Hmm, you made it yourself, impressive. Will you show it to me? I
would like to put in the coordinates myself.
HAMMOND: This way.
MARTOUF: [To Sam] I give you my word, I will watch over you father as if he
were my own.
SAM: Thankyou.
MARTOUF: I look forward to seeing you again.
SAM: So do I.
JACOB CARTER: It's ironic, ain't it?
SAM: What?
JACOB CARTER: I was trying to find you a better assignment and you didn't
need it. Now you've found me the best assignment an old soldier could dream
up. Thanks, kid.
SAM: You're welcome. Do you have to go so soon?
JACOB CARTER: Yeah. I have to go. Apparently, I'm the oldest and wisest
among us.
SAM: Oh jeez.
The Stargate engages.
GARSHAW: There will come a time when the Tok'ra and the people of the Tau'ri
will destroy the System Lords.
JACK: This'll be a good day.
DANIEL: [With Sagan Institute box] Um, this box has a signature in it we can
recognise. Just send it through the 'gate and we'll know you want to contact
us.
GARSHAW: Thankyou. Come, Selmak.
JACOB CARTER: I love you.
SAM: I love you too, Dad.
JACOB CARTER: [To Jack] Selmak says, let me see if I can translate this,
don't call us, we'll call you.
Jack smiles. Martouf, Garshaw and Jacob walk up the ramp and leave. Sam
sighs...

Episode 32 - "Tok'ra 1"

In the Tok'ra tunnels, people rush about as the Jaffa attack. They fire
staff weapons.
MARTOUF: We have to activate the Chappa'ai. Quickly, Jolinar!
Jolinar runs towards the Stargate. She dials an address.
MARTOUF: Jolinar, hurry!
Jolinar's reflection is caught in some particularly shiny crystal. It's
Sam's face...

Sam's hooked up to machinery in the infirmary.
SAM: I think I might have found something.

OPENING CREDITS

JACK: You don't think it was just a dream.
SAM: No Sir. It was real. I could tell.
HAMMOND: You could tell.
SAM: Yes Sir. I don't know how, exactly, but I could tell.
JACK: So we're supposed to buy this... ESP, or whatever it is?
TEALC: O'Neill, when a Goa'uld infests its host, their minds intermingle,
become as one. It is possible that portions of Jolinar of Malk-shur remain
in Captain Carter's mind.
SAM: These Tok'ra were on the run. They may be in trouble. Now, if we want
to find them again, we should find them before they move on. They may still
be at these coordinates.
DANIEL: Now, you said their eyes glowed. Are you really sure that these
Tok'ra are what Jolinar said they are? I mean, good guys, for lack of a
better word.
SAM: Yes.
JACK: Yes? Just yes? Could you elaborate a little?
SAM: I'm sorry Colonel. I know it's hard to understand. I don't really
understand it myself, but I am sure. I, I just know.
TEALC: According to Jaffa legend, the Tok'ra are the Goa'uld resistance.
Their stated goal is the destruction of the System Lords and a change in the
ways of the empire. They are hunted and despised by the Goa'uld.
JACK: Yes! My kinda guys!
SAM: General Hammond, if I may. My vision is the only lead we have to go on.
Shouldn't we at least check it out before they move on?
JACK: Colonel?
JACK: General?
HAMMOND: I'm prepared to send SG-1 through to the coordinates Captain Carter
saw in her vision, if you agree.
SAM: Colonel, I know you're sceptical about these things, but I am confident
that I am right on this one.
JACK: Let's check it out.

SG-1 are in their gear, walking down a corridor.
SAM: Colonel, is it alright if I catch up with you?
JACK: We leave in ten.
SAM: All I need is five.

In the corner of a room, Sam phones her Dad.
SAM: Dad, hi, it's me, Sam. [Pauses] What do you mean, why am I calling?
Dad? You just told me that you have cancer, you can't... [Pauses] Alright,
okay, never mind. Listen, er, I'm about to go on a little trip. [Pauses]
Yes, it's for the Air Force. [Pauses] It's not important where I'm going
Dad, what's important is that I may be gone a while and I just wanted to
call and see how you're doing. [Pauses] You're sure?
Sam puts the phone down and gets up to leave. General Hammond walks up to
her.
HAMMOND: Your father?
SAM: Yes Sir.
HAMMOND: How is Jacob?
SAM: He claims he's okay, not that he'd tell me if he weren't. Did you know
he actually got an apartment here in town?
HAMMOND: He wanted to be closer to his daughter during...
SAM: During his last days. Sir, this is the first time I've left on a
mission where I've felt like I might be leaving something behind. Like I
might miss something important.
HAMMONDANIEL: Understandable. I'll put a temporary replacement on SG-1. You
can stay here.
SAM: I wish I could, Sir, but I don't think I'm replaceable on this one. The
memories of Jolinar left in my mind could be invaluable on this mission and
no-one else has them.
HAMMOND: True, but your father...
SAM: Sir, it's okay, he doesn't want me around anyway.
HAMMOND: Sam, I've known Jacob a long time. That's not true.
SAM: Sir, he's always too concerned about appearing the strong soldier. The
last thing he would want is for me to see him in a hospital bed losing a
battle. I should get going Sir, I don't wanna hold things up.
HAMMOND: Captain! You're more like your father than you'd like to admit.

SG-1 emerge on a desert planet, which is appropriately deserted.
TEALC: There is no evidence of footprints or tracks of any kind. If the
Tok'ra were here they have not been near the 'gate in many days.
JACK: Ah, where's that yellow brick road when you need it, eh Dorothy?
SAM: There's some sort of dunes over there.
JACK: Dunes it is.
They walk towards the dunes. Jack looks at the broken MALP.
JACK: Worthless. No-one's tread here in a while.
TEALC: The Tok'ra are known for their ability to mask their trails. They
are, as you say, stealthy in their actions.
The Tok'ra surround them, apparently popping out of the ground.
DANIEL: Yeah, stealthy would be a good word, Teal'c.
JACK: Good guys or bad guys?
CORDESH: We mean you no harm. But I warn you, if you make any aggressive
moves, we will fire on you.
JACK: Same here.
CORDESH: [Laughs] Well I think we have the advantage. There are more of us.
JACK: That is true.
MARTOUF: This one is a Jaffa. Apophis sect.
TEALC: I am no longer in the service of Apophis.
MARTOUF: Who then are you in service to?
TEALC: I am allied with these, the Tau'ri, in battle against Apophis.
DANIEL: And all other Goa'uld.
SAM: Be careful Daniel.
DANIEL: Why?
SAM: Because they are Goa'uld.
CORDESH: Do not call us that. [Eyes glow] We are not Goa'uld.

In General Hammond's office, his phone rings.
HAMMOND: Hammond. Put him through. [Pauses] Jacob? You okay? [Pauses] Oh no,
I'll be right there.

Back on the planet, they're all standing around pointing weapons at each
other.
JACK: You know, in some galaxies, this is called loitering. How long do ya
think we can keep it up?
SAM: Martouf.
MARTOUF: I do not know this woman.
SAM: But I'm right, aren't I. That's your name, Martouf.
MARTOUF: It is. How do you know me?
SAM: I don't. But I knew someone who did. His name was Jolinar of Malk-shur.
CORDESH: Where is Jolinar?
SAM: He died saving my life.
DANIEL: That's why we're here, to seek out the Tok'ra.
JACK: Assuming of course you are the Tok'ra.
CORDESH: And if we're not?
JACK: Well, I guess we all start shooting, there's blood, death, hard
feelings... it'd suck.
MARTOUF: And if we are this thing you call Tok'ra?
TEALC: If you are indeed the Tok'ra of Jaffa legend, we should form an
alliance.
SAM: I learned a lot from Jolinar. Enough to know that we could be good
friends. And frankly, enough to know that you are the Tok'ra.
MARTOUF: I believe this one speaks the truth. Perhaps we should... just
listen to what they have to say.
They lower their weapons.
JACK: Well that's better, isn't it? So, take me to your leader.
CORDESH: I will take you to whom you seek. But there is one condition. You
must leave your weapons with us.
JACK: Ah, no.
SAM: They won't hurt us, Colonel.
JACK: They're Goa'ulds, Carter.
SAM: They won't hurt us.
JACK: And you, what, feel this?
SAM: No, I can remember.
TEALC: O'Neill, if they are the Tok'ra, we are in no danger.
DANIEL: If you're asking for opinions, I vote we take the chance.
JACK: Okay. But I want it understood that we're doing this in the spirit of
future relations. I expect us to be treated as such.
SG-1 put their weapons down.
MARTOUF: Please, come closer together.
JACK: Why?
DANIEL: Jack.
SAM: It's okay Colonel.
JACK: Oh, it is?
Transport rings take them to subterranean crystal caves, which crackle
alarmingly.
CORDESH: This way.
SAM: This looks just like the place in my dream. But that was on the planet
that they - we - were fleeing.
TEALC: It is said throughout the legend of the Tok'ra, when they arrive on a
planet they go deep underground, it is said they possess the technology to
actually grow tunnels.
SAM: This looks like some sort of crystal material, so theoretically it
could be grown.
TEALC: Apophis had me searching for tunnels such as these for many years. We
never found them. It is believed when the Tok'ra move on, the tunnels are
destroyed.
JACK: Carter, what's the story with this Martouf?
SAM: I'm not sure. I get the feeling I know almost all of these people, but
my memories of Martouf are the strongest. It's like I have some weird bond
with him.
MARTOUF: [Ushering them into a room] Please, come this way.

In the hospital, General Hammond enters Jacob's room. He's lying in the bed,
with tubes up his nose.
JACOB CARTER: George.
HAMMOND: Jacob. Are you alright?
JACOB CARTER: I've been better.
HAMMOND: I was under the impression that the cancer hadn't gone this far.
JACOB CARTER: So was I. They cleaned out all the lymph nodes, the problem
is, apparently, one squadron of those little buggers got themselves
reassigned to my liver.
HAMMOND: Let me make a call, get Captain Carter recalled.
JACOB CARTER: No, there's no need.
HAMMOND: Jacob, she should be here.
JACOB CARTER: Why? Let me tell you something George, my little girl grew up
seeing Daddy go off to God knows where to fight God knows who and I always
came home alive and well. Now I'm going to let her sit here and watch me
lose a war? To some little runts so small I can't even see 'em?
HAMMOND: That's exactly what she thought you'd say. How about doing us all a
favour, Jake. Cut the brave soldier routine. It's your daughter we're
talking about here. She should have a chance to be here to see you through
this.
JACOB CARTER: I got a feeling she's on a pretty important mission right now.
Am I right?
HAMMOND: Well, yes, but there are others.
JACOB CARTER: Then do me a favour and honour my wishes. Leave her there.
HAMMOND: This is ridiculous.
JACOB CARTER: There is one thing you could do for me, George.
HAMMOND: Anything.
JACOB CARTER: Tell me what my little girl's doing.
HAMMOND: Except that. You know it's classified.
JACOB CARTER: George, they're telling me I don't have much time left. Who am
I gonna tell? God?
HAMMOND: I'm sorry, Jake.

SG-1 go into a big crystal room.
CORDESH: People of the Tau'ri, let me introduce Grand Counsel Garshaw of
Belote.
GARSHAW: Greetings.
JACK: Hi.
TEALC: You are Garshaw of Belote?
GARSHAW: I am.
TEALC: She is the most hunted Goa'uld of all time.
GARSHAW: We prefer you to not refer to us as Goa'uld.
JACK: Yeah, we got that earlier. What should we call you?
GARSHAW: I assume you are from the first world, the Tau'ri. Is that correct?
JACK: Yup.
GARSHAW: Were you among those who rid the galaxy of the Supreme System Lord
Ra?
JACK: Yup, that's us, that... that... yeah, we're those.
GARSHAW: Then in a sense, you are Tok'ra.
DANIEL: Of course! Tok'ra. Tok... Tok Ra, against Ra! Thank you for sharing
that.
JACK: We still don't know what to call her.
GARSHAW: We too are Tok'ra.
JACK: Finally!
SAM: It's a pleasure to meet you.
GARSHAW: I understand you were sent to us by Jolinar of Malk-shur. Please,
tell us how that came to be.
SAM: Well, it, I, er... It's a long story. We were on this planet, Nasya,
and the Goa'uld were attacking. Jolinar's host was killed, so he jumped into
me while I was trying to save his host.
MARTOUF: Please, excuse me, did you say that Jolinar's host was killed?
SAM: Yes. I'm sorry.
MARTOUF: But Jolinar lived on.
SAM: Ah, yeah, for a while at least. Inside of me. Should I continue?
GARSHAW: Please.

Jacob's flatlining. General Hammond watches the frenzied activity.
HOSPITAL STAFF: He's in V-tach. Let's go. Let's shock him at 200.
FEMALE HOSPITAL STAFF: 200.
HOSPITAL STAFF: Okay, clear. [Zaps him with the paddles] Again, 300.
FEMALE HOSPITAL STAFF: 300.
HOSPITAL STAFF: Clear. [Zaps him with the paddles] Normal sinus, okay. [To
Jacob] Hey general, how're you doing? [To staff] Alright, he's in aplastic
crisis. Let's give him a unit of packed cells, check his vitals every
fifteen minutes. And, er, let me know if anything changes.
HAMMOND: Doctor.
HOSPITAL STAFF: He's, er, stable, for now.
HAMMOND: May I ask, how long does he have?
HOSPITAL STAFF: Can't say with a cancer like this. Could be five days or
five minutes. Sorry. If there's any family for you to contact, I recommend
you get them here ASAP.

Back in the Tok'ra chamber.
GARSHAW: So am I to understand you did not invite Jolinar to use you as a
host?
SAM: That is correct. He did it in an emergency situation to escape an
assassin.
CORDESH: Then if you were not a voluntary host, how do we know that you did
not kill Jolinar yourself?
SAM: Um, well, because I didn't. I mean, I guess you're just going to have
to trust us on that.
CORDESH: And why should we trust you?
JACK: You know something? I've been asking myself the same damn question.
Why should we trust you. You are, after all, Goa'ulds.
DANIEL: Jack...!
JACK: Ah! Don't! We've done nothing but get interrogated here. Now, are we
prisoners? And are you Goa'ulds?
DANIEL: J...
JACK: N...
GARSHAW: You are not and I have told you we are not Goa'uld.
JACK: I didn't... Why do you talk like that? And what's with the glowing
eyes? Huh? Might it have something to do with a little reptilian activity in
your heads?
GARSHAW: We have symbiotic creatures within us, yes.
JACK: Well then!
DANIEL: Well then, you can see how we might think you would be a danger to
humans. You take humans as hosts.
GARSHAW: Goa'uld take hosts. Tok'ra do not. Ours wish to be so.
MARTOUF: We have a truly symbiotic relationship.
DANIEL: No offence, but why would any human volunteer to be a host for a
Goa'uld?
YOSUF: Perhaps I can... I can help you? I am Yosuuf. I am Garshaw's host. I
speak freely without restraint or censor. All of us who serve as hosts
volunteer to do so freely.
DANIEL: Okay, well, maybe you can answer my question then. Why would any
human volunteer for... for that?
YOSUF: Well, with the blending I gain all of Garshaw's knowledge, her wisdom
[Laughs] more than any human could ever attain. And my lifespan is twice
what it would be without the blending. And for all this, all I have to do is
share my physical body.
JACK: So you've kind of got a little Faustian deal going here, selling your
soul for immortality.
YOSUF: What you understand as soul remains intact.
DANIEL: So this symbiotic relationship is what makes the Tok'ra different
from the Goa'uld.
YOSUF: Yes.
TEALC: It is also this that has thwarted the Tok'ra's efforts against the
Goa'uld.
YOSUF: Your Jaffa friend is correct. If you'd like to come with me, I will
show you what he means.
They walk along some tunnels until they come to Selmak's room. Selmak lies
on an uncomfortable looking crystal bed, and she's clearly unwell.
YOSUF: Allow me to introduce Selmak.
MARTOUF: Her host's name is Saroosh. She is one of the oldest and wisest
among us, an important leader for our cause. However, she is unfortunately
very ill, and will soon die.
DANIEL: How old is she?
YOSUF: She will be 203 of your years in a few of your days.
DANIEL: I'm sorry, I was under the impression that Goa'uld lived much longer
than 200 years.
YOSUF: Goa'uld do, the Tok'ra don't.
SAM: That's because you don't use the sarcophagus, right?
MARTOUF: That's correct. We believe to do so would drain the good from our
hearts.
DANIEL: I can vouch for that.
MARTOUF: That's why our numbers don't grow large enough to defeat the
massive forces aligned with System Lords.
SAM: Zero or negative population growth. Since you won't take new hosts by
force, most of the time the Goa'uld dies with the host.
YOSUF: And this is what is about to happen to Selmak.
MARTOUF: Unless one of you wishes to volunteer to serve as a host.
JACK: I'm gonna pass on that.
DANIEL: Yes, although it does sound very fascinating, I think it's a little
too long term for me.
SAM: I'm sorry, I've already been through that.
Sam walks out. The others follow her. At the poolside Martouf touches her on
the shoulder. She gasps.
MARTOUF: Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.
SAM: You shouldn't sneak up on a person like that.
YOSUF: We didn't mean to upset you with the suggestion of becoming a host.
JACK: Well as long as you take no for an answer.
MARTOUF: Be assured that we have never forced a human to become a host. It
goes against all that we believe in.
JACK: Yeah, well, you know Captain Carter didn't exactly invite Jolinar in.
SAM: Yes Sir, but I believe he was sincere about wanting to leave me as soon
as he found another host.
JACK: If he found one.
YOSUF: I'm curious, if you're not interested in becoming a host, then why
did you seek us out?
DANIEL: To form an alliance.
YOSUF: Yes, so you've said, but it's apparent that the thought of an
alliance disgusts you.
DANIEL: Wait a minute, you think by 'form an alliance' we mean we want to
become hosts?
YOSUF: Well what other sort of an alliance could a non-blended human and a
Tok'ra want to have?
JACK: Well, we do have a common enemy, how about a friendship?
SAM: We could share information.
TEALC: We can engage in battles, side by side.
GARSHAW: I do not believe you could be of any service to us. You are neither
strong enough, nor advanced enough.
JACK: We're not?
TEALC: You are incorrect. It was these who destroyed two Goa'uld
motherships.
GARSHAW: That was you? We had operatives who died on board those vessels.
DANIEL: Oh boy.
SAM: We were only defending our planet.
YOSUF: We didn't know that they had travelled to the Tau'ri. This
information, it explains a lot. At least now we know how and why out
operatives died, and for that we are truly grateful.
JACK: So maybe we can be of service.
YOSUF: Perhaps you are correct. I will try to convince the Council of Tok'ra
to meet with you. [She goes to leave]
JACK: Ah, excuse me? Are we prisoners here?
YOSUF: Well, ah, until we decide what level of information to entrust to
you, um, we cannot allow you to roam this facility freely. I'm sorry.
MARTOUF: [To Sam] Would you like to take a walk on the surface?
JACK: What?
SAM: Why?
MARTOUF: I would like to hear more of Jolinar of Malk-shur.
SAM: Okay.
JACK: Well, yeah, sure.
MARTOUF: I'm only inviting Captain Carter. What we have to discuss is
private. I hope you understand.
JACK: Actually, no, I don't.
SAM: Colonel, I, I think I should go with him. I think I need to go with
him. There's a lot of questions he could answer about Jolinar.
MARTOUF: I assure you Sir, she will be very safe with me.
SAM: Colonel, I need to do this, please.
JACK: Okay Son, but I want you to have her back by 11 o'clock. You
understand?

Martouf and Sam are walking along a ridge near the Stargate.
MARTOUF: You feeling any better?
SAM: Yeah, thanks.
MARTOUF: Please, ah, tell me of Jolinar.
SAM: I get the feeling you knew him way better than I ever did.
MARTOUF: I'm sure. For one thing, he was a she.
SAM: What? You're kidding!
MARTOUF: Well, actually, that isn't accurate. The symbiote does not have a
gender. However, Jolinar has always been in female hosts.
SAM: Well, actually, the host I found him in, her in, was a male.
MARTOUF: Really? Must have been another method of hiding from the Ashrak.
Tell me of Jolinar's last days.
SAM: Well, it's kind of weird, it's like I'm left with these intuitions,
feelings. I know this, she sacrificed herself to save me. That speaks a ton
about her character as far as I'm concerned. [Pauses] I'm sorry, are you
okay?
LANTESH: I'm sorry, Martouf is having a more difficult time handling this
than I am.
SAM: So you're his symbiote, Lantash, right?
LANTESH: Yes. Martouf is the name of my host.
SAM: Yeah, I knew that. I seem to know pretty much everything about you.
When I'm with you, I feel a different sort of, I don't know, recognition,
than I do with the other Tok'ra. Is there something different about your
relationship to Jolinar?
LANTESH: Jolinar and I were together for nearly... 100 of your years. She
was my mate.
SAM: Oh. How does that work? She was whose mate? Martouf, or Lantash?
LANTESH: Both.
MARTOUF: Now let me attempt an explanation. As I said before, ours is a
truly symbiotic relationship. So what I feel, Lantash feels. And what
Lantash feels, I feel.
SAM: So when one of you is in love, you both feel it.
MARTOUF: Yes, we love as one. And, and we mourn as one.
SAM: I'm sorry.
MARTOUF: Don't be sorry. We want you to truly comprehend this so that you'll
better understand us.
SAM: Okay, well, I am curious. What was Jolinar's host like?
MARTOUF: Jolinar's host, Rosha, was very beautiful. She had eyes like the
oceans of Marloon, hair was the colour of Abydos, and her smile was, was as
infectious as laughter. In fact, Rosha looked very much like you Captain
Carter. You are very beautiful. You'd make a lovely new host for Selmak.
Sam turns away.
MARTOUF: I'm sorry, I've said something to upset you.
SAM: No. Yes! It's difficult enough with just the remnants of Jolinar in
here. The last thing I need is another person - symbiote - whatever.
Sam sits down on the edge of the ridge. Martouf stands a little way away.
MARTOUF: I didn't mean to upset you so.
Martouf walks over to Sam and crouches down next to her.
SAM: It's just the thought of going through that again.
MARTOUF: Don't give it another moment's thought. It was an inappropriate
suggestion. Please understand that it came from a deep desire to have
Jolinar back in my life in some form.
SAM: This must be what it feels like to be schizophrenic.
MARTOUF: What is schizophrenic?
SAM: It's a mental illness humans have. It's like a split personality. Two
people in one brain. I mean, there's me, Samantha Carter, and then there's
this leftover part of Jolinar that feels things like...
MARTOUF: Like...?
SAM: Like some pretty deep feelings for you.
MARTOUF: Jolinar left this imprint on your mind?
SAM: Yes.
MARTOUF: I'm sorry if it makes you uncomfortable, but...
SAM: No! It's just... what you had, you and Jolinar, you were in love longer
than I've been alive! Hell, longer than I will be alive!
MARTOUF: She left this feeling with you? You can feel how she felt for me?
SAM: Yes. And it's confusing the hell outta me.
MARTOUF: Why?
SAM: Because it's not just in my mind like a memory, I feel it. Like I've
had this relationship with you for 100 years. I don't know if I can describe
it with words. What Jolinar felt for you, I don't even think I'm capable of
comprehending.
MARTOUF: Maybe there's another way you can communicate it. Perhaps in a way
other than words.
They interlock their hands and gaze into one another's eyes.
Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh. Then Daniel and some Tok'ra guys rush up and spoil the
moment.
DANIEL: Sam!
SAM: Daniel.
DANIEL: Learning a lot about Jolinar?
SAM: Yeah, you'd be surprised how much.
DANIEL: Um, the Tok'ra Council's agreed to meet with us. Jack thought you
might want to be there.
SAM: Yeah.

SG-1 and Garshaw walk through the tunnels.
SAM: Quite the place you've got here.
TEALC: Is it true these facilities are grown?
GARSHAW: It is. When we arrive at the new base, we plant certain crystals,
and they grown into all that you see.
DANIEL: Wow.
Jack notices Cordesh breaking off, and follows him. Cordesh goes to his
room. He selects a box from his collection of belongings, and when he opens
it Jack sees it contains an orb.
CORDESH: May I help you?
JACK: No, thanks, I was just looking around.
CORDESH: This is not the way to the new Council chambers.
JACK: Oh! Well, I'm sorry.
CORDESH: But I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. These are
my private quarters.
JACK: Not very private.
CORDESH: The Tok'ra hold no secrets from each other. There is no need for
doors or partitions. Can I show you back to your group?
JACK: Uh, no, thanks. I can find my own way back.
Jack walks back towards the group.
DANIEL: How fast can you grow a facility like this?
GARSHAW: Quite rapidly. We build only as we need. That is why we are only
now adding the corridor and the Council chambers. See for yourselves.
They come to a tunnel that's still expanding. The blue crystal is visibly
stretching out into a new tunnel, moving off into the distance!
JACK: What the hell?
They walk into the Council Chambers. It's like the other rooms, but it has a
nice shiny table in it.
GARSHAW: This Chamber is newly grown. Until now we had no reason to convene
the Council of Tok'ra.
SAM: So this is some sort of accelerated crystal growth?
GARSHAW: That is correct. We have learned to pattern the natural tendencies
of the crystal.
SAM: Like a geode.
GARSHAW: People of the Tau'ri, allow me to introduce the Grand Council of
the Tok'ra.
The Council consists of Cordesh and five other (more colourfully clothed)
people.
JACK: Hiya folks, nice to meetcha.
DANIEL: Uh, we're very grateful. We're representatives of a planet called
Earth.
TEALC: It is an honour.
JACOB CARTER: The council has reviewed your proposal of an alliance between
our peoples.
SAM: And?
FEMALE TOKRA: We would like you to understand our situation. We are an
illegal resistance group within the Goa'uld. We are the most hunted, most
hated enemies of the System Lords.
JACK: Hey, we haven't made too many friends along the way either.
TEALC: The secrets of the Tok'ra would never be revealed. It is not the way
of the Tau'ri.
CORDESH: Not intentionally. But you might be followed to us, you might be
tortured into revealing our whereabouts or a spy might be introduced into
your midst.
FEMALE TOKRA: We would like to know what you have to offer us that is of
sufficient value to justify our exposure.
JACK: Well, I think we've got a lot of things.
TEALC: The Tau'ri have become quite advanced.
DANIEL: I'm sure we have something you could use.
GARSHAW: Please, give us an example.
JACK: Sure. Daniel.
DANIEL: Er, well, I mean, after all, we... we have the same goals in mind.
SAM: Perhaps there's some technology that could be of use.
CORDESH: Technology other than our own is useless to us. We are
infiltrators. We work from within the Goa'uld. Therefore it is important
that we appear to be Goa'uld.
Another Tok'ra enters the Chamber and whispers to Garshaw.
GARSHAW: Bring them in! [To SG-1] What are your people planning?
JACK: Beg your pardon?
GARSHAW: The Chaapa-ai just activated, and brought forth these!
SG-3 are led in, looking sheepish.
SAM: SG-3.
JACK: Colonel Makepeace? What are you doing here?
MAKEPEACE: General Hammond sent us to extract Captain Carter.
SAM: Why?
MAKEPEACE: I'm afraid it's your father, Captain. He's in the hospital in a
serious condition.
JACK: You have to let her go home.
GARSHAW: I'm sorry, I cannot do that.
JACK: Why not?
GARSHAW: I'm afraid we have made our decision. We have decided not to accept
your request for an alliance.
CORDESH: Therefore you shall be our guests until such time as we decide to
move to another planet.
JACK: What?
GARSHAW: I'm sure you understand with your knowledge of this planet, you
have become a security risk. We cannot allow you to leave until we have
moved somewhere else that you do not know about.
DANIEL: Well surely as Tok'ra you're more compassionate than that? Captain
Carter's father is dying, I mean at least let her go.
CORDESH: She is the highest risk of all. She contains the memory of Jolinar
of Malk-shur.
TEALC: We are not the only ones who have knowledge of this planet. Those we
left behind on the Tau'ri also possess this knowledge.
JACK: As evidenced by our friends here.
GARSHAW: It is our wish that your lack of return will convince them that we
are Goa'uld and not Tok'ra.
DANIEL: You want them to think that we're dead.
JACK: Well that kinda sucks.
GARSHAW: I'm sorry. We will try to make you as comfortable as possible.

Episode 30 - "Secrets"

They watch the MALP footage.
DANIEL: Now that was a few moments ago. Now obviously Kasuf's unburied the
Stargate and is waiting. For me.
SAM: One Abydos year to the day. They kept their word.
DANIEL: And I have to keep mine.
JACK: Daniel, you said you'd go back there in a year with Sha're.
DANIEL: I know that. But at least I can tell her father that I haven't given
up; that I won't give up.
JACK: That she's a Goa'uld?
DANIEL: Yes.
JACK: Does he really need to know that?
DANIEL: Kasuf is family. I owe it to him.
HAMMOND: I have nothing against you returning to Abydos, Dr Jackson, but
Colonel O'Neill and Captain Carter are due in Washington, and I can hardly
ask the President of the United States to change his schedule.
DANIEL: Well, if I don't go back now, they will bury the 'gate for good.
It's what I told them to do if I never came back. General, I lived among
these people for over a year. And I couldn't possibly be safer than in the
company of Teal'c.
TEALC: Thank you Daniel Jackson.
DANIEL: You're welcome.
TEALC: Daniel Jackson assures me the Abydonians are a peaceful people.
JACK: They're a great people, are you kidding? [To Sam] In fact, what do you
say you and I blow off this medal ceremony thing and go with the boys?
HAMMOND: You may leave when ready.

The Stargate activates.
JACK: So we'll come and pick you up in a couple of days, yeah?
DANIEL: Say hi to the President for me.
JACK: Will do.
Teal'c and Daniel step through the Stargate.

They arrive in the Abydos 'gate room. Kasuf's waiting.
DANIEL: Don't be afraid, good father. This is Teal'c.
TEALC: Tel nol te'ak.
KASUF: Ma'weh.
TEALC: I am honoured.
KASUF: Mai'ak ak maafi.
DANIEL: Good father, I ask your forgiveness, I have returned without your
daughter.
KASUF: So it is.
DANIEL: I fear that my search may continue for many seasons.
KASUF: Come.

They enter a tent in the village.
DANIEL: Sha're!
Teal'c activates his Zat gun.


OPENING CREDITS

KASUF: No, take my life in exchange!
DANIEL: Nobody's killing anybody.
TEALC: Sha're is no longer your daughter.
DANIEL: Kasuf, we're in danger. How long has she been here?
KASUF: More than a season.
DANIEL: What?
KASUF: Why are we in danger?
SHAURE: Husband!
DANIEL: I am Sha're's husband. Who are you?
SHAURE: My Daniel, please!
TEALC: Come no further.
KASUF: Son, do your eyes not see?
DANIEL: Sha're has been taken by a Goa'uld. A demon now lives within her.
One of great power and evil.
SHAURE: He speaks the truth, father.
KASUF: But you said you returned to me.
SHAURE: And I have.
DANIEL: Stop it! Okay, just stop it. You can't fool me. I know what you are.
I've seen what you are.
SHAURE: Please believe me!
DANIEL: No.
SHAURE: The demon sleeps because I am with child. Hear me, husband. The
Goa'uld that has stolen my soul is called Amonet. She sleeps for the sake of
the child.
DANIEL: Why?
SHAURE: If she awakens, the child will come forth, stillborn.
TEALC: I have never known a Goa'uld to father a human child.
DANIEL: Apophis is the father?
SHAURE: [Sobbing] Yes.
TEALC: Then Apophis is here also.
SHAURE: [Sobbing] No, he has hidden me away. He does not want to reveal the
true purpose of this child to his enemies.
DANIEL: What true purpose? Sha're, what does Apophis want with a human
child?
SHAURE: He wishes the child to one day become his new host.
DANIEL: Is that true?
SHAURE: Yes. [She sobs]
Daniel leaves the tent and goes outside.

Meanwhile, in Washington, Sam and Jack are going into the building.
JACK: You know, I can navigate myself across a galaxy, but I get lost every
time I come to Washington.
SAM: [She laughs] Don't worry Sir, these are my old stomping grounds.
JACK: Sorry to hear that.
SAM: Two years at the Pentagon trying to make the Stargate program a
reality, I'd say it was time well spent, considering.
JACK: Ya think?
SAM: I see General Hammond's already doing the rounds.
JACK: Oh yeah. He's a player. He knows how to work a room. Punch?
SAM: Yes Sir, thanks. [She stands around for a while] Dad!

Back in the tent on Abydos...
SHAURE: Daniel no longer loves me.
TEALC: You are incorrect. Daniel Jackson cares for you greatly.
KASUF: He does not behave as a husband.
SHAURE: I have seen your face before.
TEALC: As first prime of Apophis. I was present when the Goa'uld invaded
your body. For my part I can only ask your forgiveness.
SHAURE: No, it is more. You are the traitor, Teal'c!
TEALC: How can you know this?
SHAURE: My mind is full of images Apophis railing and cursing your name. His
place among the system lords is no more.
TEALC: Then these are the memories of the Goa'uld that now sleeps within
you.
SHAURE: Yes.
Teal'c goes outside to Daniel.
TEALC: This is most difficult. Daniel Jackson, we must return with Sha're
through the Stargate immediately.
DANIEL: Why?
TEALC: As long as the Goa'uld within her sleeps, Sha're shares its memories.
DANIEL: So...so...so what?
TEALC: It would be of great strategic benefit to have access to the Goa'uld
genetic memory, even for a few days.
DANIEL: What? Access? Do you... do you know who it is we're talking about?
TEALC: I do. And soon she will give birth.
DANIEL: Well hasn't she gone through enough? I mean, what are you talking
about here Teal'c? Handing her over to Maybourne for study?
TEALC: The knowledge she possesses could one day save your world.
DANIEL: I don't care! I will not put her through that, too! I'm sorry!
TEALC: More sorry for yourself, it appears, than for Sha're. Within a matter
of days, Sha're will give birth. The Goa'uld within her will reawaken.
Apophis will take this child and leave Abydos forever. That is the fate you
choose for Sha're by allowing her to stay!
DANIEL: [He's quiet for a moment] Then I'd like a moment with my wife.

Back at the reception...
HAMMOND: I invited Jake myself, Captain. I thought you might enjoy the
surprise.
SAM: Really, Sir. That's sweet.
JACOB CARTER: George and I served together back when the Air Force really
was this country's first line of defence.
SAM: It still is.
JACOB CARTER: Of course it is. I was talking about when the Cold War was
still, er... Anyway, when George told me you were up for the Air Medal for
your work in... what the hell was that again? Um...
SAM: Analysis of deep space radar telemetry.
JACOB CARTER: Right.
JACK: Sam! [Hands her a drink]
SAM: Thank you Sir.
HAMMOND: Colonel Jack O'Neill, Jacob Carter.
JACK: Carter? As in...?
SAM: As in, my father Sir, yes.
JACK: Get outta town. Sam's Dad? I've heard nothing about you, Sir.
JACOB CARTER: What's there to say about an old general waiting to retire?
SAM: Dad, I talk about you all the time.
JACK: I retired myself one time. Couldn't stay away.
JACOB CARTER: [Disbelieving] From your analysis of deep space radar
telemetry.
JACK: Well, it's just so damn fascinating.
JACOB CARTER: I'm sure it is. Otherwise you wouldn't be receiving the Air
Medal.
JACK: We have our moments. Um, will you excuse me? We just don't get out of
Cheyenne Mountain enough. I'm gonna grab some air. Outside. General,
Captain, General, Waiter? [He leaves]
HAMMOND: I guess I'll go make the rounds. [He leaves too]
JACOB CARTER: Just between us, your cover stories could use a little polish.
SAM: Sorry, Dad, I don't know what you're talking about.
JACOB CARTER: No, of course not, I'm out of line. But whatever it is you
really analyse in that mountain, deep space or no deep space, it can't be as
exciting as the real thing. I'm talking about getting you into NASA, Sam.
I'm talking about you actually going to space one day.

Back on Abydos...
SHAURE: You hate me.
DANIEL: No, no, I love you.
SHAURE: You forgive me?
DANIEL: God, there's nothing to forgive.
SHAURE: I'm so ashamed.
DANIEL: I hate what's been done to you. I hate Apophis for the child that's
been growing inside of you. Look at me. I love you. Everything else... I
love you.
SHAURE: Will you stay?
DANIEL: I can't. Because I want you to come home with me.

Back at the party...
JACOB CARTER: I made a call to Bollinger himself. Head of NASA?
SAM: I know.
JACOB CARTER: I told him that you'd wanted to become an astronaut since you
were a little girl. And that you'd given up....
SAM: I didn't give up!
JACOB CARTER: Let me finish - waiting for the shuttle program to be
reinstated after the Challenger disaster.
SAM: Yeah, it was bad timing.
JACOB CARTER: Yes, well. I called in a few markers. I filled them in on your
qualifications; you apply again, as an Air Force nominee, young lady, and I
think you'll find NASA supportive.
SAM: There's a waiting list a mile long.
JACOB CARTER: Not for you.
SAM: Dad, you can't do that.
JACOB CARTER: I did.
SAM: Without talking to me first?
JACOB CARTER: You're telling me you don't want this? They know what you're
capable of offering the Space Program, Samantha, they want you!
SAM: That's not the point! The work I am doing right now is very important
to me.
JACOB CARTER: It's not your dream.
SAM: Let's just leave it at that, please?
JACOB CARTER: At least talk to them, then. Do that much for me.
SAM: [She sighs] I knew sooner or later you'd make this about you.
JACOB CARTER: Alright.
SAM: Dad, it's not that I don't appreciate it...
JACOB CARTER: I said alright. I'll catch up with you after the ceremony.

Jack's found a bar to hang around in.
REPORTER: Colonel Jack O'Neill, right?
JACK: I'm not sure.
REPORTER: You are one hard man to find, let me tell you.
JACK: Who are you?
REPORTER: Armand Zellick. I'm a journalist. [To Barman] I'll have a beer.
JACK: Why doncha take mine. I haven't touched it.
REPORTER: Heading back to the Stargate so soon?
JACK: What?
REPORTER: Big round greyish thing, can't miss it.
JACK: I don't know what that is.
REPORTER: Before you go, Colonel, maybe you should hear this. I knew you
were coming here, so I planned ahead, and I got a little lucky.
He plays back the recording he made of Jack and Sam
JACK: You know, I can navigate my way across a galaxy, but I get lost every
time I come to Washington.
SAM: Don't worry Sir, these are my old stomping grounds.
JACK: My condolences.
SAM: Two years at the Pentagon trying to make the Stargate program a
reality, I'd say it was time well spent, considering.
JACK: Ya think?
REPORTER: This isn't all I've got to go on, mind you. I have a source that
told me about a device that can send people half way across the galaxy and
back again. Just looking for a little confirmation.
JACK: Parabolic microphone across the square, maybe?
REPORTER: Something like that.
JACK: Technology, eh. Listen, I don't know who your source is, but I'm a
Colonel in the US Air Force. A C5 Galaxy is a transport aircraft, one of the
largest in the world. That's what I was referring to.
REPORTER: And the Stargate?
JACK: You got me on that one.

Back on Abydos...
SHAURE: After the child is born, the demon within me will awaken again. She
will punish the child for my disobedience.
TEALC: We would not allow that to happen. The Goa'uld will have become our
prisoner.
DANIEL: We'll have time together before the child is born. There'll also be
questions asked of what you remember of the Goa'uld, but I will be there the
whole time. I won't let them hurt you. We can study what keeps the Goa'uld
dormant, there may even be a way we can remain together.
KASUF: Apophis will return. If she is gone, he will destroy the whole
village.
TEALC: Tell them an enemy of Apophis came and stole Sha're and the child
away.
KASUF: And it will be the truth, yes? [To Sha're] Go with them!
DANIEL: You can't just tell her like that.
KASUF: I am her father!
DANIEL: Sha're, I won't force you.
SHAURE: Once the demon returns, will I be with you then?
DANIEL: No. 'Til we can find a way to remove the Goa'uld within you, they
would lock you up in a cell. That's something like a cage.
TEALC: So the Goa'uld within you will not harm others.
DANIEL: Look, I won't pretend this is going to be easy. But at least this
way Apophis will not be allowed to hurt you, or your child, ever again.
SHAURE: [She sighs] Then I will come with you, my Daniel.
TEALC: Apophis may return at any moment. We must leave now.

Back at the party...
HAMMOND: He's got great hands. He can really snap the jab. He was getting
off all night, so he cut in with three good ones, then he feinted with his
right, came in with a left hook and right cross and the guy was down! It was
a great...
JACK: [Interrupting] General, a moment please?
HAMMOND: Excuse me.
JACK: We've got a problem, Sir. We've sprung a leak. Apparently someone with
knowledge of the program talked to a reporter.
HAMMOND: This reporter approached you?
JACK: Yes Sir.
HAMMOND: And you said?
JACK: Denied everything. He didn't buy it.
HAMMOND: How much does he know?
JACK: Well, if he knows me - he knew how to find me here - a lot.
HAMMOND: The you're right, we've got a problem.

Teal'c, Sha're and Daniel are in the 'gate room on Abydos. There's a
rumbling noise.
SHAURE: Daniel, do you hear it?
DANIEL: Hear what? What's wrong?
Outside, animals are panicking and people are shouting.
TEALC: A Goa'uld ship approaches.
DANIEL: Sha're, what's wrong?
AMMONET: My lord comes for me.
Teal'c activates his Zat gun.
DANIEL: No! Sha're, fight this thing. You have to hold on, a little longer,
please!
SHAURE: Daniel?
DANIEL: It's okay, it's gone now.
SHAURE: [She gasps] Daniel! Daniel!
DANIEL: Teal'c! I think she just went into labour.
TEALC: The Goa'uld's return may have induced it.
SHAURE: Daniel!
TEALC: Daniel Jackson! We must leave now!
They hurry away, and the tranport rings are activated.
JAFFA: My lord. Someone attempted to flee through the Stargate. They did not
have time to escape.
HERUUR: Find Apophis' queen.

Back in Washington, they're having an emergency meeting.
SAM: Say he runs this story - how bad can it get?
HAMMOND: Bad. The domestic repercussions alone - half the government would
want to bury it, the other half would want a piece of it. After that the
international fall-out when Russia and China find out we've been keeping it
from them...
SAM: Proof of the existence of aliens. Hundreds of other worlds populated by
ancient human cultures.
JACK: I don't see the problem.
SAM: I can't help but wonder who the source could be.
JACK: Any one of hundreds of people, Captain.
SAM: I have a hard time believing it's one of ours. Every member of the SGC
knows how important our work is.
HAMMOND: I agree with Captain Carter. It's much more likely political.
SAM: Senator Kinsey?
JACK: Well if he knows, at least a dozen sycophants know.
HAMMOND: Civilians sign non-disclosure statements. Technically that makes
them liable to prosecution under the espionage act.
JACK: So what should we do? Sue 'em?
HAMMOND: There's still some time before the ceremony, Colonel. I'd like to
know how much he knows before he goes to print. Do you know how to find him?
JACK: I'll let him find me, Sir.

In a cave on Abydos...
DANIEL: It's okay - when the pain comes you have to breathe.
SHAURE: It comes too soon!
DANIEL: The baby will be fine, you just have to worry about getting through
this yourself.
SHAURE: When the child comes forth the demon will return.
DANIEL: I know.
SHAURE: Apophis comes for me.
TEALC: It was not the ship of Apophis.
DANIEL: Then who?
TEALC: It was the ship of Heru-ur.
SHAURE: He is a great enemy of Apophis. He will take my child. [In pain]
Aaaah, Daniel!
DANIEL: It's okay, breathe, breathe! This is where we hid from Ra. Remember?
Remember?
SHAURE: I remember.
DANIEL: We're safe here.
TEALC: You are incorrect, Daniel Jackson. If it is Sha're that Heru-ur
seeks, he will find us. We cannot remain.
DANIEL: Well I am not leaving her.
TEALC: The moment the child is born, the Goa'uld within Sha're will
re-emerge.
DANIEL: I said I am not leaving her, Teal'c.
TEALC: Then I will do what I can to keep the Horus guard away from you.
SHAURE: You do love me.
DANIEL: Yes, I do.

Jack sits on the bench outside the building.
REPORTER: Looking for me? Find out what the reporter knows while your people
check on his credentials.
JACK: Ah, that's a cliché, Armand.
REPORTER: I'm very good at this, Colonel. I've been doing it a while.
Granted, this'll be the biggest story I've ever broken, but then it's the
biggest story anyone's broken, isn't it?
JACK: Tell me.
REPORTER: Look, I've got all I need. I don't need you, but I've gotta admit
I wanted to meet you anyway. When this breaks you're gonna be a hero.
JACK: Cool. So what're you gonna say about me?
REPORTER: Subtle. Okay, I'll do you a favour. You're the team leader of a
unit called "SG-1". Between nine and twelve such units operate out of
Cheyenne Mountain under Norad. You use a device called a "Stargate" to
travel light years from here.
JACK: Wow, that's pretty amazing.
REPORTER: The program costs us over seven billion. The defence department
hopes to bring back superior technologies to offset the expenditure.
JACK: Armand, let me do you a favour. You don't know anything. Don't
embarrass yourself.
REPORTER: I know that those two brilliant flashes in the night sky a few
months ago were really alien ships on their way to attack Earth. You blew
them up.
JACK: I did. Alright. If you're gonna go ahead with it, I wanna make sure
you get one thing right. It's O'Neill, with two Ls. There's another Colonel
O'Neil with only one L, he has no sense of humour at all.
REPORTER: The story's going to run, Colonel.
JACK: It'll read like science fiction, Armand.
REPORTER: This country has no official secrets act.
JACK: I know that.
REPORTER: You can't stop me.
JACK: I know that too.
REPORTER: You don't think anyone'll believe it.
JACK: I'm sure someone will. But it's not me.
REPORTER: We'll see. [He walks away] That's two Ls, right?
A speeding car hits the reporter; he lies on the ground.
JACK: You! 911, ambulance, now! [To the reporter] Don't move, don't try to
move.
REPORTER: You - you did this.
JACK: No. No, we didn't do this.
R: Son of a...aaargh...
He dies.

Back on Abydos...
JAFFA: My lord, I have questioned many in the city. Apophis' queen is here,
as you suspected, lord.
HERUUR: Apophis will return through the Stargate to claim his child.
JAFFA: We shall be here, my lord.
HERUUR: His queen and child are to be taken alive.
In Kasuf's tent, Kasuf is being beaten up.
JAFFA: [Hits Kasuf] Where is your daughter?
KASUF: I cannot tell you what I do not know! What, would you have me lie?
Teal'c enters the tent.
TEALC: Jaffa! [He shoots the Jaffa with his Zat gun]

Back in Washington...
SAM: Dad? I've been looking all over for you.
JACOB CARTER: You must be disappointed. Any idea why the President
cancelled?
SAM: Colonel O'Neill witnessed an accident. The President couldn't adjust
his schedule. Bad timing all round. General Hammond's going to present us
with our medals at a private ceremony back at the base.
JACOB CARTER: Well, it's the honour that matters, whether I can be there or
not.
SAM: Dad?
JACOB CARTER: I have cancer, Sam.
SAM: What?
JACOB CARTER: Lymphoma.
SAM: That's bad.
JACOB CARTER: Well, it's not good. But it's not the worst. Don't you worry.
I'll be around for a while.
SAM: Oh God, Dad!
JACOB CARTER: I was hoping to stick around long enough to see you become an
astronaut. Sweetheart, I don't care what it is you do in that mountain,
nothing in the world can live up to the chance to actually go into space.
Not for you - it's something you're wanted your whole life. And I admit it,
I want to see you fulfil your life's dreams before I die.
SAM: It's my dream, doesn't that make it up to me?
JACOB CARTER: Fathers have dreams too.
SAM: Sorry, I can't...
JACOB CARTER: Alright. Like I said, this thing's going to go on for months,
so you don't have to check up on me tomorrow.
SAM: Dad, please don't go like this...
JACOB CARTER: Congratulations on the medal. I'm sure you deserve it. [He
walks off]
SAM: Dad!

Back in the cave on Abydos...
SHAURE: Daniel!
DANIEL: It's alright, Sha're, push.
SHAURE: No! The demon will come back!
DANIEL: You have to push.
SHAURE: But I will lose you Daniel!! Please!!
DANIEL: Look at me.
SHAURE: [Screams with pain] Please!!!
DANIEL: Look at me! I love you! I will always love you. You understand? The
Goa'uld will never be able to take that away from us. Do you understand me?
Never.
SHAURE: Oh Daniel, the pain comes again!
DANIEL: I'm here.
SHAURE: Daniel!!! Daniel!!!
DANIEL: I'm here! And now the baby is here. Now you have to push.
SHAURE: Oh, oh...
The baby is born. It cries.
DANIEL: It's a boy. It's a boy.
AMMONET: Give me the child.
TEALC: [wearing the Jaffa's armor] Bring me the child of Apophis. [He
activates his Zat gun]
AMMONET: Apophis my pharaoh will destroy you both for this.
TEALC: Tell him Heru-ur has taken his son as his own. [He fires the Zat gun
at Sha're] We have little time. We must go.

In the village again.
DANIEL: It's your grandson.
KASUF: He is beautiful, yes?
DANIEL: Yes he is. You cannot remain here, good father, you must go into
hiding.
KASUF: You are telling me that the demon has returned to reclaim my
daughter.
DANIEL: Yes.
KASUF: I will need a nursing woman.
TEALC: You must find one whom you can trust. One who is not afraid of
hardship.
KASUF: So it may be that I will never see my daughter again.
DANIEL: Sha're is strong, good father, she will not give up. And neither
will I.

In the SGC...
HAMMOND: Colonel Jack O'Neill, Captain Samantha Carter, you have
distinguished yourself by heroism involving voluntary risk of life. Against
impossible odds, with only the help of your team members Teal'c and Dr
Daniel Jackson, you destroyed both Goa'uld spacecraft that were poised to
attack this world. Your exemplary courage and heroism reflect great credit
upon yourself and the United States Air Force.
SAM: Thank you, Sir.
HAMMOND: I'm only sorry that the accident made it impossible for the
President himself to do this.
SAM: I beg to differ, Sir. It's an honour to receive it from you.
HAMMOND: Congratulations, Captain. I know Dr Jackson is expecting you on
Abydos; you may ship out when ready.
SAM: I'll be geared up and ready to go in ten minutes, Colonel.
HAMMOND: Dismissed. [Annoyed that Jack hasn't left] It was an accident.
JACK: Yes Sir.

Back on Abydos...
TEALC: [Still wearing Jaffa gear with Daniel as his prisoner] My lord!
HERUUR: Kel shak, Jaffa.
TEALC: Kel shak, Heru-ur. The Serpent guards of Apophis have taken the
child.
HERUUR: Who is this human?
TEALC: He claims his people are the Tau'ri, enemies of Apophis.
HERUUR: [With disbelief] You were among the warriors who defeated Apophis?
DANIEL: As a matter of fact I was. The Tau'ri are stronger than you think.
An alliance would prove extremely useful to both of us, against our common
enemy.
HERUUR: Alliance? You are nothing. Your world is nothing. Once I have
conquered Apophis, I will make slaves of your people. You will serve me.
DANIEL: No, I don't think so.
HERUUR: Kneel before your god!
Teal'c whacks Daniel so that he kneels before Heru-ur, and someone begins
dialling up the Stargate.
TEALC: My lord, the Stargate!
HERUUR: Apophis comes, stand ready.
Seeing Jack and Sam emerge from the Stargate
HERUUR: Tau'ri, kree!
JACK: What the hell? Cover me!
There's lots of fighting.
HERUUR: You dare challenge me?
JACK: I was thinking about it. [He throws his knife into the palm of
Heru-ur's hand, piercing the ribbon device]
HERUUR: You will pay for this insolence!
The transport rings activate.
SAM: Teal'c?
JACK: Somebody explain to me what just happened?
TEALC: It is a lengthy tale, O'Neill.
JACK: Long story, Teal'c.
SAM: Good thing you remembered the shield's deflection capability's directly
proportional to the amount of kinetic energy directed at it.
JACK: Right. We should get out of here.
The Stargate starts dialing up again.
DANIEL: Apophis.
JACK: What?
TEALC: We must cover ourselves.
The Stargate engages, Apophis steps out of the event horizon.
APOPHIS: Jaffa. Kel Amonet?
AMMONET: I am here, my pharoah.
APOPHIS: The child?
AMMONET: Stolen, by your enemy Heru-ur. Forgive me, my pharoah, for failing
you.
APOPHIS: Jaffa! Shal tek!
A Jaffa starts dialling the 'gate.
APOPHIS: Come home with me, my queen.
Amonet looks straight at SG-1! They go through the Stargate, and it
disengages.
SAM: Sir, there's still a Goa'uld ship on top of us.
JACK: Dial us home Captain, please.
Sam dials the gate.
JACK: [To Daniel] You alright?
DANIEL: No. No, I'm not. But I will be.
TEALC: She looked directly at us, Daniel Jackson, yet she did not reveal our
position.
The GDO beeps - the iris code is sent.
JACK: Let's go home.
They leave.

Episode 26 - "Need"

P3R 636 Stargate
We see SG-1 on a cliff overlooking what appears to be Jaffa sending Naquadah
through a Stargate.
O'NEILL: What's in the fancy box?
TEAL'C: It is Naquadah. Raw Naquadah is highly valued among the Goa'uld.
CARTER: SG-3 brought back a small amount of the element back last year. We
could really use some sir.
O'NEILL: Well, maybe there is more.

FOREST
We see SG-1 come to a cliff edge overlooking a Goa'uld ship and a large
amount of Jaffa
O'NEILL: Whoa.
A procession of Jaffa come down a path near the cliff
DANIEL: Look.
A woman walks away from the procession and DANIEL follows.
O'NEILL: I wish he'd stop doing that.
SG-1 follows the woman to the edge of a cliff
O'NEILL: She's going to jump.
DANIEL runs towards the woman and grabs her.
O'NEILL: DANIEL!
SHYLA: Ahh!
Two Jaffa hear the screams and come running.
DANIEL: No, wait. Please
JAFFA 1: Stay away from the princess.
O'NEILL and CARTER draw their weapons on the Jaffa
DANIEL: It's okay.
Two more Jaffa come from behind
CARTER: Colonel?
SHYLA: Tell them to lower their weapons. They will kill him.
O'NEILL puts down his weapon

OPENING CREDITS

PALACE THRONE ROOM
A group of Jaffa lead SG-1 in front of SHYLA and PYRUS
O'NEILL: What were you thinking?
DANIEL: I thought she'd be grateful.
O'NEILL: She was trying to kill herself!
JAFFA: On your knees.

O'NEILL: No, actually I've got this cartilage problem, little ACL thing...
The JAFFA hits him with his staff weapon.
O'NEILL: (cont'd)Ah, Yeah, that helps.
SHYLA: My Father, Pyrus the God slayer and ruler of this planet wishes to
know who you are.
DANIEL: We're explorers. Peaceful explorers.
PYRUS: You attacked my daughter
DANIEL: No. Tell him.
PYRUS comes down from his throne and stands in front of SG-1
PYRUS: Only one of you is Jaffa.
PYRUS grabs CARTER by the head
PYRUS: (cont'd)Who sent you? Where are you from?
O'NEILL: We're from a planet called earth.
PYRUS: What Goa'uld rules there?
O'NEILL: None
PYRUS: Liar. Thieves. You will tell me the truth or you will die. Put them
in the mines.
SHYLA: Father!
The group of Jaffa grab SG-1 and start to haul them out of the room
DANIEL: No wait! We're not thieves. Wait! Please!

MINE
SG-1 is using pick axes to break apart rocks.
CARTER: Colonel. He isn't a Goa'uld. I don't think these are real Jaffa
either.
O'NEILL: How do you know?
CARTER: First clue was his voice.
O'NEILL: Yeah, I noticed that too.
CARTER: Sir, I can't really explain it but when he grabbed me I just knew. I
felt it. Or, to be more accurate, I didn't feel it. Sir, I think it has
something to do with the Goa'uld that invaded me. Lately, I, I get this
weird feeling when I'm near Teal'c.
O'NEILL: Hey, who doesn't?
CARTER: No, I can sense the presence of a Goa'uld now. I didn't get that
feeling when he grabbed me.
TEAL'C: I agree with Captain Carter. The ruler here is not a Goa'uld.
O'NEILL: Alright, Let's assume you both are right. How does that help us?
CARTER: I'm not sure
DANIEL: Look, I'm really sorry you guys. This is totally my fault.
A Jaffa walks up to SG-1
JAFFA: You will meet your quota for the day or you will not eat.

O'NEILL: You know, I've seen an awful lot of union violations around here. I
should probably speak to your supervisor.

The Jaffa hits O'NEILL
JAFFA: You will work.
O'NEILL: Hi ho hi ho, back to work.

MINE
SG-1 is still picking apart rocks but looks a little more worn down
DANIEL: I can't move anymore.
A horn sounds and prisoners start to walk through in a line
JAFFA: Put down your tools. (The Jaffa starts to unshackle SG-1) How does
your leg feel now?
O'NEILL: Oh, much better thanks.
O'NEILL hits the Jaffa with his tool and TEAL'C throws his ax at another
guard. O'NEILL picks up a discarded Staff weapon and fires
O'NEILL: Let's go. Let's go.
TEAL'C: This way.
O'NEILL: Let's go DANIEL!
DANIEL: I'm coming!
A troop of Jaffa come in and start to fire after SG-1. One of the staff
weapon blasts hits the rocks above DANIEL's head, sending them cascading on
him. O'NEILL, CARTER and TEAL'C turn back to help unbury DANIEL.
O'NEILL: DANIEL! God.
CARTER: He's alive!
O'NEILL: Carter, Teal'c Take off.
CARTER: Sir?
O'NEILL: Go!
As CARTER and TEAL'C make their way out, another group of Jaffa stops in
front of them, sealing off the exit.

PALACE
PYRUS and SHYLA are standing in the throne room
PYRUS: Foolish Child. They must have been sent by some distant evil God.
Then they are here to raid our mine. And we can spare none of our Naquadah,
it grows more scares by the day.
SHYLA: I know. I will not put our world in jeopardy. When you are gone I
will have to make these kinds of choices all the time. Please, believe in
me.
PYRUS turns and leaves. SHYLA pushes a button on the throne to reveal a
Sarcophagus, with DANIEL inside.
SHYLA: Do you feel better?
DANIEL: What's going on?
SHYLA: You tried to escape. You were badly wounded.
DANIEL: My friends?
SHYLA: They were recaptured. By what name are you called?
DANIEL: DANIEL Jackson.
SHYLA: May I help you out DANIEL Jackson?
SHYLA offers her hand to help DANIEL out of the Sarcophagus
DANIEL: Thank you. Why am I wearing this?
SHYLA: I took the liberty of providing you with royal robes. You may call me
Shyla. In return for saving your life, please do not try to escape again. I
have taken personal responsibility for you.
DANIEL: Okay.
SHYLA: It would also be rude of you to try and hurt me in any way.
DANIEL: You do realize it's also kind of rude to kidnap people and chain
them up in a mine.
SHYLA: Please forgive me for not telling my father the truth about what
happened by the cliff. I.he would not understand.
DANIEL: Okay. So, you're not Goa'ulds but you're running a Naquadah mine and
you've got yourselves a Goa'uld sarcophagus.
SHYLA: You know of the sarcophagus?
DANIEL: Yeah, I've...I've used one before. Couple of times too many if you
ask me.
SHYLA: Really?
DANIEL points to his eyes
DANIEL: My umm..uhh
SHYLA: Oh, you want your glass circles. I'm afraid they were broken.
SHYLA hands DANIEL the broken glasses. He puts them on.
SHYLA: I just know I've done the right thing. Come! I must show you
something
SHYLA takes DANIEL by the hand and drags him out.

MINE
CARTER, TEAL'C and O'NEILL are still breaking apart rocks, looking quite
haggard.
CARTER: He needed medical attention.
O'NEILL: I know.
CARTER: It wasn't your fault sir. We had to take the opportunity when we
did.
O'NEILL: I know that too.
A YOUNG BOY offers O'NEILL a cup of muddy water
O'NEILL: I've had worse.

Forest
SHYLA and DANIEL are walking along a tree-lined path
SHYLA: Isn't this splendid?
DANIEL: Why are we here?
SHYLA: I know you must've seen much in your travels, but...surely you've
never seen anything quite so beautiful. We call them trees.
DANIEL: Ah! Um, so do we.
SHYLA: So you've seen them before, on other worlds?
DANIEL: Yeah, I have
SHYLA: I'm a fool aren't I? I mean surely you've seen more incredible things
then I can imagine. Please, tell me about them.
DANIEL: Look, I would really like to tell you everything you want to know
but.but my friends.
SHYLA: My father still believes you and your friends have a nefarious
purpose here.
DANIEL: But you don't.
SHYLA: We will convince him that you are decent honest people who will bring
no harm to our kingdom.
DANIEL: I..uh..um, don't suppose we could go talk to your father now?
SHYLA: He is not well now.
DANIEL: I don't...I don't want to spoil this little rapport we seem to have
going here....

SHYLA: That sounds almost romantic.

DANIEL: Oh boy, ok, um, here's the thing. I am very grateful to you that you
saved my life and that you want to help me free my friends, but I'm sensing
that you did it because your, ah...
SHYLA: Because you're my destiny.
DANIEL: Whuahh....What?
SHYLA: Before she died, my mother-in-law used to come out here and take long
walks at night. You can see every star in the sky through the treetops.
DANIEL: No, see, about the destiny thing?
SHYLA: She used to tell me how a great man would come from beyond the sun,
just for me.
DANIEL: Oh boy.
SHYLA: I had come to believe my mother was wrong. That my true love would
never come. I stood on that cliff and I wished one last time. At exactly the
right moment you were there to save me, DANIEL Jackson. You cannot deny that
is fate.

MINE
CARTER, TEAL'C and O'NEILL are still hard at work breaking apart rocks.
DANIEL walks in looking royal with a Jaffa escort
DANIEL: Hi guys.
CARTER: DANIEL!
O'NEILL: Well. It's surprisingly difficult to kill you, isn't it?
TEAL'C: We are pleased to see you DANIEL JACKSON
CARTER: What happened?
DANIEL: Uh. Sam was right. PYRUS isn't a Goa'uld.
O'NEILL: What's with the dress?
DANIEL: Oh! Ah, they're royal robes. Ah, long story short, they have a
sarcophagus. Um, the princess put me in it and saved my life because she has
a, ah, a crush on me.
CARTER: A crush?
DANIEL: Yeah. Actually, she thinks I'm her destiny, the whole saving her
life thing. I guess she was grateful after all.
O'NEILL: Well good job. Now how about getting the goons to unlock us and get
us the heck out of here?
DANIEL: Uh yeah, not yet.
O'NEILL: I'm sorry?
DANIEL: Well it's...uh...it's kind of a sensitive situation. PYRUS hasn't
exactly agreed to let you go yet. But I'm working on it. I'm trying to gain
his trust. Yeah, I know. This is really.
O'NEILL: Weird?
DANIEL: Look, I just wanted to let you guys know I was okay. And I will talk
to PYRUS tonight at dinner.
CARTER: You get dinner?
DANIEL: Yeah, um, some feast in my honor. Or something.
O'NEILL: Feast? There is a feast?
DANIEL: Just trust me. Okay. I just, I need more time.
DANIEL turns and leaves with his escort.
O'NEILL: Glad you're okay!

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

PALACE THRONE ROOM
DANIEL is sitting down when SHYLA comes from behind him.
SHYLA: Do not worry about your friends. I have instructed the guards to
treat them well.
DANIEL: I'm sorry, this is unacceptable. I can not be up here while they are
down there.
SHYLA: We will change my father's mind about them.
DANIEL: I don't think you're understanding what they mean to me.
SHYLA: It might just take some time
DANIEL: Or maybe you do. The longer it takes to free them, the more time we
have together. Right?
SHYLA: I admit, that is what I would like.
DANIEL: Then release my friends. I won't leave. I'll, I'll stay and get to
know you better. I promise.
SHYLA: Then you do feel as I do.
SHYLA kisses DANIEL
SHYLA: Should I not have done that?
DANIEL: No, it's ok, it's just that.uh
SHYLA: Maybe you are still not fully recovered.
SHYLA walks over and presses a button to bring out the sarcophagus
DANIEL: I really don't think that is necessary. Uhh.I'm okay.
SHYLA: But you'll feel so much better
DANIEL: Its' uh.please.
SHYLA: For me? You will feel better then you have ever felt. Trust me and I
will trust you. I promise.
SHYLA takes off DANIEL glasses and walks him to the Sarcophagus. He gets in.

SGC CONTROL ROOM
CHEVRON GUY is seated at the controls with GENERAL HAMMOND behind him.
CHEVRON GUY: SG-1's remote code sir. No travelers on route but we are
receiving another radio transmission.
GENERAL HAMMOND: Patch it through.
DANIEL: (on radio)Mission status remains the same. Need more time to
situation diplomatically. Next transmission in 24 hours. DANIEL Jackson out.

MINES
TEAL'C, CARTER and O'NEILL are still lifting and moving around rocks. They
aren't looking so good. DANIEL walks in looking quite well.
O'NEILL: What the hell is going on?
CARTER: It's been days since we heard from you.
DANIEL: Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah. Oh sorry. Um, yeah, I'm still working on
getting you guys out. Oh in the meantime I've discovered something
incredible.
O'NEILL: You do know we're dying down here don't you?
DANIEL: I've taken the opportunity to do a little research on the
sarcophagus. It's amazing what it does to you if use it when you are already
healthy.
CARTER: Waa.Is that such a good idea?
DANIEL: Well, I can't get SHYLA to trust me if I don't show that I trust
her.
O'NEILL: Oh, SHYLA is it now. First name basis. SHYLA.
DANIEL: And I've used it before without any side effects. And look! No
glasses!
CARTER: That looks like a side effect to me.
O'NEILL: DANIEL, get us out of here.
DANIEL: Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm working on it. I just
need a little more time. OH, I sent GENERAL HAMMOND another message.
Hopefully he won't order an all out attack. Look, if we do this right we'll
have access to all the Naquadah and the sarcophagus.
CARTER: How many times have you used it?
DANIEL: I don't know nine or ten. Oh Sam, every thing is so clear. I feel
like I could do anything.
O'NEILL: One thing. You only have to do one thing! And if you can't handle
that we're gonna break out of here without you.
DANIEL: She wants me to marry her.
O'NEILL: What? Alright, look....
DANIEL: No, you look, Jack!! I have got everything under control, ok? God,
you never show me any respect! Your way didn't work. Now I'm handling it.
All you guys have to do is hang in there!
DANIEL turns and walks out

THRONE ROOM
DANIEL is standing when SHYLA comes from behind him.
DANIEL: How is he?
SHYLA: The sarcophagus does not make him better the way it used to. Soon it
will be time for me to become queen.
DANIEL: Will that be so bad?
SHYLA: You do not approve of my father's ways.
DANIEL: I can help you make mining much easier and we can defend you from
the Goa'uld, if you trust me.
SHYLA: Even after I used your friends to keep you close to me.
DANIEL: Oh yeah. I don't think you meant any harm.
SHYLA: Then you will stay? Even after they are free?
DANIEL: I have never felt better anywhere in my life. I've always felt out
of place on my planet. I wanted to make a difference. There is still so much
you don't know about me.
SHYLA: I know all I need to. We can change things here.together.

MINE
O'NEILL, CARTER and TEAL'C are taking a rest from breaking rocks. They are
looking quite disheveled. O'NEILL is taking a drink and passes it to CARTER
O'NEILL: Water? Hey.
CARTER: We don't use the sarcophagus!
O'NEILL: What?
CARTER: Whoa. Oh that was weird. I was having a vision or something. I kept
seeing the memory of Jolinar. The resistance, the Tok'ra, they don't use the
sarcophagus. It does bad things to you. It changes your mind. It takes
something from you. I kept hearing.TEAL'C what is Kalach?
TEAL'C: It is Goa'uld. It means one's soul.
CARTER: Sir, we have to stop DANIEL.

PALACE THRONE ROOM
O'NEILL is being dragged along the floor by two Jaffa and set down in front
of DANIEL
O'NEILL: The man who would be king.
The Jaffa hits O'NEILL in the back of the knee.
O'NEILL : Ahh!
DANIEL gets off the throne, seemingly oblivious to what just happened.
DANIEL: Hi Jack! Ha Ha.Hi Jack!
DANIEL snaps at the Jaffa, making them leave. O'NEILL is on his knees in
front of DANIEL.
O'NEILL: (coughing) We're losing the battle down there you know. CARTER has
started having Goa'uld flashbacks. Says if you keep using the sarcophagus,
you're going dark side on us.if you haven't already.
DANIEL: Well don't worry a bit. We're getting out of here tomorrow.
O'NEILL: What?
DANIEL: I agreed to marry her.
O'NEILL: You did?
DANIEL: But,
DANIEL jumps down and picks O'NEILL off the floor.
DANIEL: I said I had to go home and straighten a few things out first. And
you guys are coming with me.
O'NEILL: And she trusts you?
DANIEL: She.Loves me.

THRONE ROOM
SHYLA is helping PYRUS towards the a sarcophagus.
PYRUS: Love has blinded you.
SHYLA: They are good people. We have done a grave injustice to them.
PYRUS: I pray that you are right.
SHYLA: I must let DANIEL go. The choice to return must be his. But, he will
come back to me. He can't live without me anymore.
PYRUS gets into the sarcophagus with a lot of help from SHYLA

IN FRONT OF THE STARGATE
SG-1 stands with SHYLA about to dial home.
SHYLA: He was once the greatest of men. But, he can rule no longer. He lives
only to see me married. I extend the sincerest apologizes for the hardship
done to you and offer the friendship of our world.
O'NEILL: Well thanks.
SHYLA: Please know that from now on you will always be welcome here and will
be treated with the utmost respect.
TEAL'C, O'NEILL turn towards the gate. CARTER begins to dial. DANIEL walks
to SHYLA and kisses her.
DANIEL: I'll be back. Soon.

GATEROOM
GENERAL HAMMOND is waiting at the bottom of the ramp for SG-1
O'NEILL: We had a nice time, Sir. Carter picked up some Naquada. Teal'c made
some new friends as usual. DANIEL got engaged. And, um, I'm gonna hit the
showers.

INFIRMARY
DANIEL is sitting on a bed with CARTER standing next to him.
DANIEL: This is stupid.
CARTER: Doctor Fraiser says your systems are all out of whack.
DANIEL: Well I feel fine. God I need to get out of here or I'm gonna go
nuts.

LAB
CARTER is testing the Naquadah. DANIEL is pacing around the floor.
CARTER: You're going to wear a hole in the floor.
DANIEL: I can't get her out of my head Sam. I think I've made a big mistake.
CARTER: You're not serious.
DANIEL: I am.
CARTER: You have a wife.
DANIEL: Had. Had a wife. Come on, seriously. How long am I supposed to wait?
Even if I find Sha're one day, what are the chances she'll ever be the same
again?
CARTER: Look, your endorphin level was through the roof when we came back.
And now you're coming down off of it. The effects of the sarcophagus are
like a narcotic DANIEL.
DANIEL: Yeah, that makes you smarter, stronger, you live for hundreds of
years, feel great. What the hell is so wrong with it?
CARTER: I think it's partly what makes the Goa'uld as bad as they are.
DANIEL: How?
CARTER: Who knows. It's Goa'uld technology DANIEL. Maybe it's healing
affects alter your brain chemistry. Increased adrenaline, the hormones that
make you more aggressive and irrational. PYRUS probably used to be a decent
man. Look at yourself. It's like you need a fix. You've only used it a few
times and already it's changed you.
DANIEL: We can't just leave it there. We have to study it.
CARTER: We can't go back either.
DANIEL: Well I'm going.
CARTER: She used us to get you addicted.
DANIEL slams down his fist in a rage and knocks over some bottles.
DANIEL: You've never really known what love is have you?
CARTER: See, the DANIEL I know would never have said that.
DANIEL knocks over some more stuff and walks out of the room.

GENERAL HAMMOND's OFFICE
GENERAL HAMMOND is seated talking to CARTER and O'NEILL
GENERAL HAMMOND: What are you saying Captain?
CARTER: Sir I think he needs to be confined. He is clearly addicted to the
affects.
DANIEL walks in and sets some papers on GENERAL HAMMOND's desk.
GENERAL HAMMOND: What's this?
DANIEL: It's my resignation.
O'NEILL: Oh please.
DANIEL: General, I respectfully request permission to go through the gate to
P3R-636
O'NEILL: Request denied!
DANIEL: I wasn't asking you!
DANIEL starts to collapse.
CARTER: DANIEL?
CARTER catches DANIEL as he hits the floor. GENERAL HAMMOND stands up.
GENERAL HAMMOND: Doctor Jackson?
CARTER: He's unconscious.
GENERAL HAMMOND picks up the phone
GENERAL HAMMOND: This is GENERAL HAMMOND. Code red medical emergency in my
office.

INFIRMARY
DANIEL is lying down in bed with the rest of SG-1 looking over as Doctor
Fraiser checks him out.
DOCTOR FRAISER: I gave him a sedative. His test results are all over the
place. Liver function, Kidney function, endorphins, electrolytes, levels
indicated muscle deterioration.
O'NEILL: Alright alright, whatever. What's going on with him?
DOCTOR FRAISER: I have no idea. The most I can do is try to treat the
symptoms. But the bottom line is that he seems to be going through some
massive physical withdrawal.
DANIEL wakes up and starts to try to get up.
DANIEL: I have to go back! You're killing me!
DANIEL starts to pull out his IV. TEAL'C runs over to stop him when DANIEL
pushes him away.
DANIEL: Stop killing me!
O'NEILL jumps on top of DANIEL.
DOCTOR FRAISER: Hold him down!
DOCTOR FRAISER gives DANIEL an injection to calm him.
DANIEL: (in pain) Ahh..
DANIEL struggles then passes out

LAB
SG-1 and GENERAL HAMMOND are standing around DOCTOR FRAISER trying to figure
out what is wrong with DANIEL
DOCTOR FRAISER: It's like all of his cells have lost the ability to function
properly and it's getting worse by the hour.
GENERAL HAMMOND: There is nothing you can do?
DOCTOR FRAISER: I'm trying.
TEAL'C: The sarcophagus with keep DANIEL Jackson alive.
CARTER: No, we can't let him go back. That thing will just screw him up
permanently and we'll lose him anyway. The memories that Jolinar left in my
mind told me that the sarcophagus will take away everything that DANIEL is.
O'NEILL: What choice do we have?
CARTER: We wait it out. Just a little longer.

OBSERVATION ROOM
DANIEL is now strapped to the bed and writhing about. DOCTOR FRAISER is
watching him on a screen when O'NEILL walks in.
DOCTOR FRAISER: Hey.
O'NEILL: How's he doing?
DOCTOR FRAISER: Well I can't say for sure but I think maybe the worst is
over. His blood work in improving, body temperature is coming down, pulse is
normal, BP 120/80.
O'NEILL: So we made the right call.
DOCTOR FRAISER: His cellular function is starting to take back control. The
next few hours should tell. Time for another dose of sedative.
DOCTOR FRAISER walks out of the room

ROOM
DANIEL is still strapped down to the bed. A guard opens the door so DOCTOR
FRAISER can give him his sedative. O'NEILL is watching from the LAB via he
security camera.
DOCTOR FRAISER: Okay DANIEL.
DOCTOR FRAISER leans over to shine a light in DANIEL's eye. DANIEL grabs her
and flips her over the bed.
DOCTOR FRAISER: Ahh!
The guard outside hears the scream and opens the door.
GUARD: Stand down!
DANIEL punches him.repeatedly
O'NEILL notices on the monitors that DANIEL missing from the bed and runs
down the corridor to the room to find the DOCTOR FRAISER getting off the
floor.
DOCTOR FRAISER: I'm okay. Go.
O'NEILL hits the alarm button and chases after DANIEL. DANIEL runs into a
storage room and shuts the door. O'NEILL follows. He turns on the light and
starts to look for DANIEL. DANIEL shoots the light out above O'NEILL's head.
O'NEILL: Geez! DANIEL! Are you trying to kill me?
DANIEL: You're trying to kill me.
O'NEILL: There'll be guards here in thirty seconds.
DANIEL: I'm going back.
O'NEILL: You don't have to! Fraiser says you're getting better.
DANIEL: You're lying!
O'NEILL: Why would I do that?!
DANIEL rushes him, and they fight. DANIEL turns out to be really strong with
that sarcophagus drug in him. Finally DANIEL gets the gun and aims it at
O'NEILL.
O'NEILL: DANIEL! God...What are you going to do, DANIEL? Do you want to kill
me? Oh God, look at you. I know what this is. I know what it's like. You can
get through it...
DANIEL: No.
DANIEL breaks down crying, and O'NEILL pulls him into a hug.

GENERAL HAMMOND OFFICE
O'NEILL, TEAL'C and CARTER are standing talking to General Hammond
CARTER: Probe's data indicates P3H - 826 is a viable next mission for SG-1
sir.
DANIEL walks in
DANIEL: I have another suggestion. I think we should go back to P3R - 636.
And, before you say anything, just hear me out. There are thousands of
innocent human beings there who we could free from slavery.
TEAL'C: Shyla can not free her world without putting her people at great
risk.
DANIEL: Well, we have to offer her alternatives, new ways to mine the
Naquadah. I mean, we don't even know that Goa'uld will notice if the
shipments stop.
CARTER: Our preliminary tests do indicate potentially countless military and
scientific applications for the raw ore. Might be a compelling reason to try
sir.
GENERAL HAMMOND: Try what? Last time you were captured and enslaved in the
that mine.
DANIEL: Look, you want access to the mine but you don't want to send troops
in. I'm offering you a shot at a diplomatic solution. Please, Jack, we need
to take the chance.
O'NEILL looks at DANIEL and then turns to GENERAL HAMMOND
O'NEILL: We can back him up sir. I'd like DANIEL back on the team.

THRONE ROOM
SHYLA is leaning against the sarcophagus, crying. DANIEL walks in behind
her.
SHYLA: I did not believe you would ever return.
DANIEL: I'm sorry.about your father.about everything.
SHYLA: The sarcophagus could not help him anymore.
SHYLA stands up and faces DANIEL
SHYLA: You never did love me did you?
DANIEL: I wouldn't be here if I didn't care.
SHYLA: I deserve to live after what I've done to you.
DANIEL: Yes you do. Your people need you. You may still be able to lead them
without turning into what your father became.
SHYLA: How?
DANIEL: You can't use this anymore. It's going to be bad. Trust me. But you
don't have to do this alone.
SHYLA walks to the end of the sarcophagus and picks up a staff weapon.
DANIEL joins her. She aims and fires, destroying the sarcophagus in a blue
electrical storm. DANIEL takes the staff weapon and hugs her.

Episode 23 - "In The Line Of Duty"

Death Gliders zoom overhead, there's screaming, explosions and people
running around. SG teams fire their guns - there's general chaos!

Jack: Let's go Captain, those gliders are coming back around!
Sam: This man's alive!
Jack: We can not wait!

More explosions, Death Gliders zoom overhead.

Daniel: [Shooing people through the Stargate] Okay, come on, come on. Don't
panic, we'll have you out of here in a minute.
Jack: [Handing someone he was carrying over to Teal'c] Teal'c! I gotta go
back for Carter.
Daniel: He's alive, but I think he's gonna wish he wasn't. Let's get him
outta here.

Carter's doing mouth to mouth on the injured man - the man grabs her, she
struggles, then her eyes glow!

Jack: Carter! We've got to go! You alright?
Sam: Yeah.
Jack: Let's get him outta here, come on.
Sam: Dead! Had some kind of seizure. Bit his own tongue.


Back at the SGC

the Gate Room is full of stretchers and medical staff.

GH: I want a full medical quarantine until these people can be examined.
Colonel O'Neill and the rest?
Daniel: Right behind me, and a dozen Jaffa right behind them.
GH: Lock it up!

O'Neill, Carter and Teal'c come through the 'gate. The iris closes, and
something splats against it. Then the wormhole disengages.

Jack: Carter? You okay?
Sam: Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks.


In the Briefing Room, they're sitting round the table.

Daniel: There hadn't been any Goa'uld interference on this planet for over
three centuries. The Nasyians are... are... were a peaceful people. They
were eager to form an alliance and aid us in setting up a research outpost.
There was no warning this attack was coming. We hadn't even spotted the
mothership by the time the Gliders assaulted the village.
GH: It's not normal for the Goa'ulds to suddenly just show up and wipe out
peaceful people for no apparent reason, is it?
Daniel: In the past there was usually some reason, most often they seem to
attack civilisations that are advancing to a point where their technology
could be a threat, but that wasn't the case here.
Jack: Maybe they found out we were there.
Daniel: Well how could they know? Or more importantly, why did this
particular Goa'uld care?
Jack: They might have been a little concerned because we just kicked the
crap out of Apophis.
Daniel: Well, the truth is we still understand very little about their
society.
Teal'c: I have seen the Goa'uld wipe out entire civilisations - no reason,
simply because it gave them pleasure.
Daniel: So what, Nasyia was just next on the list? Part of me wishes it was
that simple, but I don't want to underestimate them.
Sam: Maybe the reasons just weren't made apparent to you, Teal'c. I mean,
you are just a Jaffa. All... all I meant was that Apophis wouldn't
necessarily have explained everything to Teal'c even if he was first prime.
Would he?
Teal'c: That is true.
Daniel: I agree with Sam. I think we have to assum the Goa'uld are more
complex as a society than we're giving them credit for.
Sam: The better you understand the enemy the better prepared you are in
conflict.
Daniel: Exactly.
GH: What's the status of the Nasyian survivors?
Daniel: Well, we managed to recuse 237 people. The critically burned and
some of the overflow our infirmary couldn't handle were transferred to the
Air Force Academy hospital. The rest are awaiting relocation.
GH: Proceed.
Daniel: Sir, I think it's important to try and find the reason why Nasyia
became a Goa'uld target.
GH: Agreed! But relocation is the first priority. I'm assigning the three
new SG teams 10 through 12 to coordinate with you. Dismissed.
Jack: Oh, Carter, I hate to be a nag about this but ol' Doc Fraiser says you
haven't been checked out yet?
Sam: I'll go right now. Wouldn't want to break post-mission protocol, right
Colonel?


the infirmary

Doctor Fraiser's examining Carter. She feels the back of Carter's neck,
parting her hair, then feels her throat.

Fraiser: Sorry to have to do this. Right, open. [Holding Carter's tongue
down, she shines a torch into her mouth] You had a sort throat lately?
Sam: A little, why?
Fraiser: There's a small abrasion back there. I have to do a swab. [Rips
packaging] And open. [She takes the swab] Cassandra's been asking about you.
Sam: Cassandra, yeah, I've been so busy lately.
Fraiser: She understands. Okay! You just let me know if it gets worse.
Sam: I'm free to go out tomorrow, though, right? We're searching for
possible relocation sites for the Nasyians.
Fraiser: Sure! Cassandra's gonna be at the hospital with me tomorrow, so why
don't you stop by and spend a little time with her first, you know, if you
can.
Sam: I will.
Fraiser: Good.


In the USAF Academy Hospital

Doctor Fraiser's telling a dictaphone about the heavily bandaged person in
front of her.

Fraiser: [Speaking into a tape recorder] Patient has third degree burns to
over 80% of his body. So far no signs of infection. [To herself] Incredible.

Carter comes in.

Fraiser: Hey.
Sam: Is this one of the Nasyians we saved?
Fraiser: Yeah, he should be dead. Cassandra is in my office, now I still
have rounds to make, but you know where it is?
Sam: Right.

Doctor Fraiser walks out. Carter frowns at the man, then leaves. A strange
glowing light spreads across the man's chest!


In Dr Fraiser's office

Cassandra is finger painting.

Sam: Hey there.
Cassandra: Sam! [She runs towards Carter, hesistating when she notices her
messy fingers]
Sam: Wow, nice painting.
Cassandra: You really like it? My teacher at school says I have talent.
Sam: I love it.
Cassandra: I missed you.
Sam: I know, I've sorry, I've been so busy.
Cassandra: Very busy. [Cassandra hugs Carter, until she realises something
is wrong]
Sam: Cassandra, what is it?

Cassandra hides and Carter's eyes glow...


In the Map Room.

GH: It would be earier on the Nasyians if there were already an active
civilisation willing to cooperate.
JACK: I'll bet you the folks on P3X-422 would be willing...
Tech: Colonel O'Neill, there's an urgent call for you, Sir.
JACK: Check.


Back in the hospital, O'Neill and Dr Fraiser walk down a corridor.

FRASIER: Thanks for coming so quickly.
JACK: What's going on with her?
FRAISER: I'm not sure, she won't talk to me. She said she'd see you and only
you. [She knocks on the door of her office] Cassandra, it's just me honey,
I've got Colonel O'Neill with me.

Cassandra unlocks the door. By the time they get into the room she's sitting
on the floor by the wall, hugging her knees.

JACK: Hey. [Sits next to Cassandra on the floor] Janet says you've been a
little upset since Sam was here. [He puts his arm around Cassandra's
shoulders] What happened?
Casssandra: Well, you don't mean kill you kill you.

Cassandra nods.

Jack: No, I doubt that.
Casssandra: She said she would.
Jack: Cass, Sam loves you, she'd never do anything to hurt you.
Casssandra: She would now. [She rests her head on O'Neill]
Jack: Why?
Casssandra: [Looking O'Neill in the eye] She's a Goa'uld.


In the SGC, Carter's running down a corridor. She bumps into Jackson and
Teal'c.

Sam: Where's the Colonel? We're due to get out of here in five minutes!
Daniel: Well he left us a message, said he'd meet us in the Gate Room.
Sam: Well step on it then! [She runs off]
Daniel: [To Teal'c] What was that?


In the Gate Room...

Sam: Where's Colonel O'Neill?
Jack: [Walking in] Stand down campers, we're on a hold.
Sam: Why?
Jack: I dunno, some computer glitch. [He stabs Carter with some sort of
syringe]
Sam: What the hell was that? [She looks where he stabbed her]

Watching from the Control Room...

Fraiser: That was enough to take down an elephant!

General Hammond looks concerned...


In the Gate Room...

Jo: [Scary voice] Open the Stargate!
Daniel: Jack, what the hell is going on?
Jo: [Scary voice] Open the 'gate now! I command you!

Someone fires a tranquiliser dart at her, they fight for a bit.

Jo: [Scary voice] Open the 'gate now [she takes the pin out of a grenade, it
falls to the floor] or we will all die!
Jack: Hold your fire! Teal'c.
Airman: I have a shot, sir.
Jack: And if she drops that grenade, what? [To Jolinar] Nobody's gonna open
that Stargate. We're all gonna live, or we're all gonna die, right here.
Jo: [Scary voice] Let me go! I must go!
Jack: Not gonna happen.

Carter falls to the ground, the drugs finally taking effect. O'Neill manages
to grab the grenade.

Jack: Take it easy. [Puts the pin back in the grenade]


In the Briefing Room again...

Jack: I didn't know. I wasn't sure until I saw her lose it down there.
Cassie was the one who suspected.
Fraiser: Cassandra still has traces of naqahdah in her blood. I think there
may be some connection - a reaction that made her sense the Goa'uld.
GH: How in the world did it get into Captain Carter?
Fraiser: Sir, I don't know what to say. I examined Captain Carter myself,
there were no visible signs of entry. I mean, she had a small abrasion on
the back of her throat, but it could have been anything!
GH: Are you saying it entered through her mouth?
Fraiser: The parasite's goal is to attach itself to the brain stem. The soft
tissue at the back of the throat is as good a place as any to start.
Jack: Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute. Oh my God, she was giving some guy
on that planet mouth to mouth. There was blood but she said the guy just bit
his tongue before he died.
Fraiser: If a Goa'uld can infest a human with no detectable physical signs,
then we're gonna have to start giving all personnel who go through the 'gate
an ultrasound or an MRI.
GH: Well for now let's make sure we haven't let any more Goa'ulds through
the 'gate this time.
Daniel: What would a Goa'uld be doing in a Nasyian man in the first place? I
mean, we certainly didn't notice any of them acting Goa'uld-ish.
Jack: Maybe it was a setup, trying to get a spy into one of us.
Tealc: It is possible the Goa'uld within Captain Carter has already placed a
device of destuction on this base.
GH: If there's any tampering here, I want it found. Teal'c, I'd like you to
help. You know better than anyone what to look for.
Daniel: Oh, what are we going to do about Sam?
Jack: We're gonna get that damn thing out of her is what we're gonna do!
Daniel: Well that didn't really work with Kawalsky. And if any of those NID
guys like Colonel Maybourne find out about this, then...
Jack: Well they're not going to! Right, General?
GH: Agreed. I'm not giving up on Captain Carter either. But until someone
presents me with a viable option, I'm putting you in charge of interrogating
the prisoner.
Jack: Due respect Sir, I don't think that thing in her head's going to tell
me anything.
GH: Colonel, we need to know what that Goa'uld's doing here.
Jack: Yes sir.


In bandage man's hospital room, a doctor wheels in a trolley with a monitor
on it.

Doctor Jacobs: Sorry to bother you. Just a quick test here. Okay now, we're
gonna have to get rid of some of those bandages.

The bandaged man grabs the doctor by the throat!


Jackson walks into another hospital room just across the corridor; a woman
(Talia) is standing by the window.

Daniel: Oh, excuse me.
Talia: Your world is an amazing place.
Daniel: It can be, um, I'm Daniel.
Talia: You are one of the men responsible for saving us.
Daniel: Yeah.
Talia: We owe you great thanks.
Daniel: Can we, er, can we talk a minute?


Teal'c walks into what might be the locker room. There are coats, anyway.

Tealc: Colonel O'Neill.
Jack: Thought you were helping with the sweep of the base?
Tealc: I am on my way. This is difficult.
Jack: Yeah. Yeah, it is.
Tealc: Assault the Goa'uld's ego. Make him appear foolish. He may then
reveal the things you wish to learn simply to make himself appear more
powerful.
Jack: Ah come on Teal'c. They're smarter than that.
Tealc: I have seen many Goa'uld strategies revealed and certain victories
lost because of Goa'uld arrogance. It is the Goa'uld's greatest weakness.
Jack: [Sighing] Yeah. [He gets up and turns away]
Tealc: Colonel O'Neill. When you speak to her, do not see your friend.
Jack: How do you do that? [He walks off]


Carter/Jolinar is inside a cell. Beams of light are projected across the
bars. O'Neill knocks, and the guard lets him in before locking the door
again. Jolinar is standing at the back of the cell watching. She talks in
the scary voice, I can't be bothered to keep saying that though.

Jack: So, you and I have got to have a little talk. You really screwed up
here you know. I mean, you really blew it.
Jo: You are weak.
Jack: Who's behind bars right now?
Jo: Your tactics will not work on me.
Jack: Not buying it, huh?
Jo: You must let me go.
Jack: Ah, no.
Jo: You really have no idea why this is happening. [She sits down]
Jack: [To himself] And I guess you don't feel like telling me.


In the hospital, Jackson's still talking to the Nasyian woman, Talia.

Daniel: This is a picture of the man the Goa'uld came from.
Talia: [Looking at the picture] It's my husband.
Daniel: One of the other Nasyians recognised him, and we found this in our
video archive.
Talia: Then something was inside of him?
Daniel: I know how difficult this is for you. I lost my wife to the Goa'uld.
Talia: I'm sorry.
Daniel: It's important that you tell me if you noticed anything different
about your husband lately. I mean, anything, an injury, uh, new scars, maybe
a...
Talia: Wait, here. [Points to the back of Jackson's neck] But it was months
ago.
Daniel: Months ago? You never noticed anything since then? I mean, he wasn't
acting strange? I mean was it violent, I mean his eyes didn't glow? I'm
sorry. Ah.

Talia sighs and looks tearful.

Daniel: Why don't I let you rest?

Talia nods. He leaves. He walks past the bandaged man's room. The bandage
man is standing up, the doctor's unconscious on the floor. Bandage man takes
off his bandages, and coughs up a device. He wipes the device and puts it on
his hand. It glows. A little later on Doctor Fraiser checks on bandage man,
not realising that it's Doctor Jacobs under the bandages...


O'Neill and Jolinar aren't talking.

Jo: Let me go. [She stands up] Let me go through the Stargate. I will find
another host and send your friend back to you.
Jack: You can do that? Leave a host without killing them?
Jo: Yes. It is possible, but not easy. I could die, but I promise I will
try.
Jack: The Nasyian man died when you left him.
Jo: The Nasyian man died first, that is why I left him. He was beyond my
natural abilities to heal.
Jack: What were you doing in him in the first place?
Jo: Carter's mind would be intact. She would return to you as you knew her
before.
Jack: You know I can't trust you.
Jo: I could have killed you and many others when you stopped me from going
through the Stargate.
Jack: You didn't want to die yourself.
Jo: It would not have killed me. I am too valuable.
Jack: Which is exactly why we'll never let you go.
Jo: I have done nothing to harm you. But you would not let me go even if you
did believe me.
Sam: Oh God, he's telling you the truth! Please, Jack, no Jack, please,
don't leave me, please, give me a chance! Don't leave me like this! Please!

O'Neill leaves the room.

Jo: What will it take?


The Ashrak, previously known as bandage man, opens the curtains around a
hospital bed. He scans the man with the device on his hand, then leaves.


Teal'c walks into the cell.

Tealc: You have requested my presence?
Jo: Jaffa, you must convince the humans to let me go.
Tealc: They will not let you go.
Jo: They are impressive. The Tau'ri have become very powerful in the time
since the Goa'uld reign here. Certainly the System Lords will not allow this
to go unchecked. I can provide the humans with information that can help
them defend against attack.
Tealc: They are more powerful than you know. Already a Goa'uld attack on
Earth has been thwarted.
Jo: Then a more powerful assault is already being planned.
Tealc: They are not fools. They believe you are here to plant a seed of that
destruction.
Jo: Not all Goa'uld are the same. There are a few that oppose the System
Lords and their ways. You must have heard of the Tok'ra.
Tealc: Every Goa'uld seeks power for his own reason and would betray his own
brother to achieve it.
Jo: Some seek power for a greater purpose. Not every Goa'uld is an enemy to
the people of this planet. The Tok'ra are real, no matter what Apophis has
told you.
Tealc: I have yet to meet one.
Jo: You have now. I am Jolinar of Malkshur.

Teal'c leaves.


Jackson walks in on the Ashrak scanning someone.

Daniel: Oh, er, excuse me, I just wanted to check on Talia. How is she?
Ash: She's good. [He walks off]


In the corridor, Doctor Fraiser rushes up to one of the other staff.

Fraiser: Peter (?!), have you seen Doctor Jacobs recently?
Peter: Uh-uh.
Fraiser: What about the most recent bloodwork done on the patient in 412?
Peter: [Rummages through stack of papers] Here it is.
Fraiser: Good, thanks.

Doctor Fraiser rushes off to 412, where she hurriedly removes bandages from
the person on the bed. It's Doctor Jacobs!

Fraiser: Doctor Jacobs!

He groans.


In the cell area, Teal'c and O'Neill are going to visit Jolinar.

Tealc: There is an old legend among the Jaffa for them to speak of
concerning a group of Goa'uld who opposed the ways of the System Lords. This
group is called the Tok'ra. This Goa'uld, Jolinar of Malkshur, claims to be
part of that group.
Jack: Can you be sure he is who he says he is?
Tealc: I cannot.
Jo: Unfortunately we do not carry identification.
Jack: Okay, lets try to build a little trust here, shall we? One of the
Nasyians we brought back was very badly burned. But somehow he just got up
out of his hospital bed and disappeared. Who is he?
Jo: It must be the Ashrak.
Tealc: It means hunter.
Jack: A Goa'uld?
Jo: Yes. An assassin of the highest rank who carries out the orders of the
System Lords.
Jack: Who's he here to kill?
Jo: Me.


In the briefing room...

Tealc: The missing Nasyian is an Ashrak. A Goa'uld assassin sent by the
System Lords to eliminate Jolinar.
Daniel: That's the name of the Goa'uld in Sam.
Tealc: It is. Jolinar once tried to overthrow one of the System Lords but
was defeated when Apophis joined the battle. He escaped during the slaughter
of his armies.
Jack: It seems this Jolinar is wanted in Goa'uld town.
Tealc: He claims to be part of the Tok'ra.
Daniel: Resistance.
Tealc: The Tok'ra is a small alliance of Goa'uld who oppose the System
Lords. It was my teacher Bra'tac who first spoke to me of them.
GH: Well, this Goa'uld inside Carter could be lying, spinning a tale to gain
our trust.
Jack: It's quite a spin.
GH: The sweep of the base has turned up no evidence. There's been no
tampering with the base computer. We can't find a single sign of sabotage.
Daniel: Well that's why Jolinar didn't reveal himself to be a Goa'uld! He
was actually hiding out in the Nasyian man.
Tealc: Until he was hunted down by the Ashrak. When he realised we may have
helped him escape through the Stargate...
GH: He improvised. So where are we?
Jack: Bottom line sir? We may have a Goa'uld out there who's on a mission to
kill Carter.
Daniel: And we don't even know what he looks like.


The Ashrak comes to a door leading to the outside.

Ash: Excuse me.
Airman: Yeah Doc, what's up?
Ash: Are you sending these people home?
Airman: Yeah, you could say that.


Jackson knocks and the guard lets him into the cell area.

Jo: Daniel Jackson.
Daniel: Yes.
Jo: You care about Samantha Carter as much as O'Neill and Teal'c.
Daniel: Yes I do.
Jo: Yet this is the first time you have come to see me.
Daniel: I came to see if you could give us a description of the Ashrak.
[Gets a notebook and pen out of his pocket]
Jo: I will know his face only in the moments before he tortures me to death,
killing your friend along with me.
Daniel: Well there's no way he's getting in here.
Jo: You are not stupid, Daniel, nor am I.
Daniel: He doesn't even know for sure you're on this planet, let alone in
this base.
Jo: He is Goa'uld, he will find me. It's what he does. Letting me go,
trusting me, is the only chance of saving your friend Samantha.
Daniel: Then I'm sorry, I'm sorry Sam.
Jo: Alive I can be a powerful ally, dead I am useless to you.
Daniel: Then you're gonna have to give us more than empty promises.
Jo: I can give her back to you.
Daniel: We can't let you go.
Jo: I'm not talking about Samantha, Daniel, I'm talking about Sha're. I know
where she is.


The airmen are loading the Nasyians into trucks. The Ashrak gets into the
cab of one of them.

Airman: Who are you?
Ash: John Adams.
Airman: You're not John.

The Ashrak uses the device on the airman. They drive off.


In General Hammond's office...

Jack: Daniel, it's a ploy. He's playing on your greatest weakness.
Daniel: Well that may be so, but this many be the only chance we have to see
Sam again.
Tealc: I believe Jolinar speaks the truth.
Daniel: Look, he told me about this resistance. Now, they have a totally
different way of life from the Goa'uld we know. They don't believe in taking
hosts against their will.
Jack: Right, like Carter and this Nasyian guy?
Daniel: No, he had no choice. He wants to leave Carter.
GH: But if they don't believe in taking hosts, how do they survive?
Daniel: They take humans who are about to die. Who choose to continue to
live and co-exist with the Goa'uld. Now according to Jolinar this can be a
rewarding relationship.
Jack: Daniel, I'm sorry, I know what this means to you. But I will never,
never trust a Goa'uld.

The phone rings. General Hammond picks it up.

GH: [To phone] Hammond. [To SG-1] The first group of Nasyians from the
hospital have arrived.


At the checkpoint to get into the mountain, airmen walk through as they're
granted clearance.

Airman: Go ahead soldier. Uh-huh. [Noticing the Ashrak's device] What the
hell's that thing?
Ash: It's a ring. Want a closer look? [He zaps the guy and walks through -
the alarms go off]
Airman: Have a nice day, airman.


The Ashrak enters the surveillance room.

Ash: Boys, as you were.


In the Gate Room, Jackson's talking to Talia.

Daniel: There's really no need to worry, there will be a team waiting for
you on the other side.
Tech: Chevron one encoded.


In the surveillance room, the staff are unconscious or dead, even! And the
Ashrak knows where Carter is!!


The Control Room...

Tech: Chevron five is engaged.
GH: [Talking on the phone] Thankyou. [To SG-1] The driver of a transport
truck who delivered the Nasyians just reported into the infirmary. Says he
blacked out. Doesn't remember driving from the hospital to the base at all!
Jack: [To technician] Call up security camera one six delta, please.

The camera's called up. There's no signal!

Jack: Teal'c, let's get down there.
Tech: Chevron six is engaged.
GH: [On phone] This is General Hammond. Security to level sixteen, holding
room delta.
Tech: Chevron seven is locked.

The Stargate goes kawoosh. O'Neill and Teal'c run to a lift.


The Ashrak walks into the cell area.

Ash: Interesting weapons these humans use. [He forces the cell door open]
Kree shak, Jolinar. By decree of the Goa'uld System Lords you will die with
dishonour by the power of the Hara'kash. [He activates the device on his
hand]
Jo: Hear this. The days of the Goa'uld System Lords are numbered. Tell them
that I died with hope. My death only feeds the fire that burns strong in the
Tokr'a.

The Ashrak zaps Jolinar, and we can see her skull, yuck. Eventually she
flops, apparently dead. Airmen rush in.

Ash: She's dead, let's go.

He leaves with the airmen, and they meet O'Neill in the corridor.

Ash: Colonel, the prisoner and two guards, dead.

O'Neill and Teal'c enter the cell.

Tealc: [Examining the airmen] These two are dead.
Jack: Sam, Sam! Sam. Teal'c, get a medical team down here right away. Come
on Sam.


Carter's on a trolley, with Doctor Fraiser on top of her trying to
resuscitate her. They're pushed into the infirmary.

Frasier: Let's get her on the table. I want an EKG and an EEG stat! Okay, on
my count. Three, two, one, good. Whoa, where's my epi? 1 milligram epi's
in...


In front of the Stargate.

Talia: Thankyou, for everything your people have done for us.
Daniel: You're gonna be okay.
Talia: I hope your friend will also be well.


In the infirmary...

M1: Pulse is erratic.
Fraiser: We're getting feedback from the EEG. What is this?
M1: Looks like interference. Two signals.
Fraiser: Well isolate them! We could be picking up separate brain waves from
the parasite.


At the Stargate, airmen rush into the Gate Room. Jackson's alone now that
Talia's left.

Daniel: [Recognising the airman coming towards him from the hospital] Hey, I
know you.
Ash: [Grabbing Jackson and sticking a gun against his head] Do not try and
stop me or I will kill him!


The infirmary...

Jack: Doc?
Fraiser: I dunno, I've never dealt with this type of situation before. The
Goa'uld looks like it's dying and taking Carter with it.


In the Gate Room...

GH: [Using the microphone in the Control Room] Release him, and no harm will
come to you.
Ash: Turn it back on!
GH: We can't do that. Let him go.
Ash: Turn the 'gate back on now, or he dies!


In the infirmary...

M1: The parasite is still getting weaker.

~Security alert, intruder in the embarkation room, code red!~

M1: Parasite energy level is still falling.


In the Gate Room...

Daniel: They're not gonna let you go.
Ash: Silence! Open the Stargate! [He shoots the ramp]


In the infirmary...

Fraiser: Let's cardiovert (?) One more time. 30 joules.


Teal'c walks into the Gate Room.

Tealc: I am sorry Daniel Jackson. [He zats the Ashrak twice]

Jackson is lying on the ramp, being caught by the first blast.

Tealc: Are you injured?
Daniel: [In pain] Dumb question. But thankyou. I think.
Tealc: You are welcome.
Daniel: Just don't ever do that again.


In the infirmary...

M2: The parasite is dead.
Fraiser: Try another milligram of epi. Then prepare for de-fib.
M1: She's out of de-fib!
M2: She's got a pulse!
M1: Faint but stable.

Carter opens her eyes.

Jack: You did it Sam, you won.
Sam: [Shakes her head] It wasn't me.
Jack: Oh yes it was. You hung in there, you beat it.
Sam: The Goa'uld gave its life for me. It saved me.


Some time later, Carter's in a hospital room. Jackson walks in carrying
flowers.

Daniel: Hey Sam, how's it going tonight?

With no response from Carter, he leaves. In the corridor outside, he talks
to O'Neill, Cassandra and Doctor Fraiser.

Daniel: She's still the same.
Cassandra: Janet said that the Goa'uld left after it died.
Daniel: Well that's right. It died and her body's absorbing it. She's the
same old Samantha Carter. Same person we've always known.
Jack: Cassie, she's just a little sad right now. But I'll bet she cheers up
when she sees you.

Cassandra enters the room and stands by Carter's bedside.

Cassandra: Sam, it's me. You're going to be okay.

Carter turns to look at her with a look of hope.

Episode 17 - "Solitudes"

The Stargate is dialling, troops get into position in the 'gate room.
Tech: Incoming traveller, incoming traveller, offworld activation, closing
the iris.
MAN: Clear the ramp.
HAMMOND: There's no-one scheduled to come back for 24 hours. Who is it?
Tech: It's SG-1's remote access code, Sir.
HAMMOND: What? They just went through!
Tech: Opening the iris, stand by.
The iris opens, the Stargate is overloading!
Tech: Sir, the 'gate is showing twice the power as normal, and it's
increasing!
Jackson and Teal'c are thrown through the 'gate. Hammond goes over to
Jackson: he's unconscious...
Tech: System overload! The wormhole is disengaged!
HAMMOND: Get a medical team in here now! Teal'c, are you alright?
TEALC: I am.
HAMMOND: Where are Colonel O'Neill and Captain Carter?
TEALC: [Looks around] They could not have been more than two metres behind.
I do not know.
Hammond helps him up.

Carter and O'Neill are in some sort of icy cavern. O'Neill is unconscious,
but Carter gets up and takes off her helmet. Where are they?

OPENING CREDITS

Teal'c is in the medical bay, with his arm in a sling.
HAMMOND: Doctor Jackson's still unconscious but Doctor Warner thinks he'll
be alright. I need to know what went on back there Teal'c.
TEALC: We were under fire. Distant. Energy weapons of some kind. Possibly
Goa'uld technology.
HAMMOND: So it's possible Colonel O'Neill and Captain Carter were struck by
enemy fire?
TEALC: I do not believe so. They were but a few metres behind me as we
passed through the Stargate.
HAMMOND: How many hostiles were there?
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 dialled home. General Hammond, I believe they should
have made it through the 'gate. I do not understand why they did not.
Technician walks into the room.
Tech: Preliminary report on the Stargate repairs, Sir. [He hands over a
clipboard]
TEALC: Repairs?
HAMMOND: There was some kind of overload during transit, we don't know why.
TEALC: I must return immediately.
HAMMOND: [Pushes Teal'c down] Not with an army waiting on the other side,
sorry.
TEALC: General Hammond, I suggest a second probe be sent through.
HAMMOND: As soon as the Stargate's working again we'll do just that.

In the icy cavern, O'Neill is trying to get up.
JACK: Aargh, eurgh.
SAM: Colonel...
JACK: Carter...
SAM: Try to stay put Sir, I think your leg's broken.
JACK: No, my leg's definitely broken. This is bad news, 'cause unless
they've redecorated the 'gate room I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.
SAM: Daniel must have misdialled.
JACK: Misdialled? You mean this place is a wrong number? Ah, for crying out
loud. Where is he?
SAM: He's not here, Sir, neither is Teal'c.
JACK: No, he has to be. [He goes to use the radio]
SAM: Yeah, I tried that. You've been unconscious for nearly two hours.
JACK: They came through the 'gate before we did.
SAM: I know that, I also know we're alone here, wherever here is.
JACK: Ice. Nice.
SAM: 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.
JACK: Oh, nonsense. We'll just dial home and straighten all this out. [He
looks around] Where's the DHD?
SAM: Can't find that either.
JACK: Oh, so, uh, we're in trouble.
SAM: We're in trouble.

There's a man welding in the 'gate room. Teal'c, Technician and General
Hammond walk in.
Tech: 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.
HAMMOND: Just tell me the minute we can send a probe through.
MAN: That'll be 24 hours General, minimum.
TEALC: Captain Carter and Colonel O'Neill do not have that long.
HAMMOND: I'll give you half that.
MAN: No Sir, it doesn't work that way. 24 hours is the best I can do.
HAMMOND: Then you'd better get back to it.
MAN: Yes Sir! Come on, let's go.

In the icy place, Carter is setting O'Neill's leg.
JACK: Aargh! Oh, God.... Ah.
SAM: Okay, I think it's set.
JACK: You THINK it's set?
SAM: I'm positive. All we have to do is put a splint on it and you'll be as
good as new.
JACK: Just take it easy, Doctor.
SAM: Wrong kind of doctor, I'm afraid.
JACK: You wouldn't think jagged bone digging into raw nerves would hurt, but
it does.
SAM: Sorry Sir, but I've never done this before in my life. Is this your
first broken bone?
JACK: Ah, ah, no, this would be, uh, nine, if you count skull fractures.
SAM: How did you manage that?
JACK: Little parachuting mishap, over the borders of Iran and Iraq, in
1980...uh....
SAM: Okay, this is gonna hurt, Sir.
JACK: Ah! I know, I know, I know, I know.
SAM: So, what happened?
JACK: I hit the ground. Go figure. Ah! God...ah.... My chute opened late,
and it hurt, just like that.
SAM: I'm sorry Colonel, I'm doing the best I can.
JACK: I know you are, Captain, can you just be done?
SAM: So you hit the ground, and...?
JACK: And they all lived happily ever after.
SAM: Almost there, almost there.
JACK: No, you're there Captain, you're there. That's a great splint. Stop!
Stop...ah...
SAM: So, how long before you were rescued?
JACK: No rescue. It wasn't exactly...an official mission, if you know what I
mean, so I had to make it out on my own. It took nine days.
SAM: Wow, what got you through it?
JACK: Sara...
SAM: Your wife.
JACK: At the time. I needed to see her again. You tallied our supplies yet?
SAM: Yeah, Sir, supplied for three days, but we can stretch that. We've got
a little drinking water, but...
JACK: Ice melts.
SAM: Yeah, and we've got our field cooking gear to melt it. Flashlight
batteries are gonna be a problem. We've got thermal blankets.
JACK: That's great. By the way, Captain, we ARE going to get out of here,
that's an order.
SAM: How's the splint feel?
JACK: Captain, you have to believe me.
SAM: I want to, Sir, I just don't see how.
JACK: 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?
SAM: Yes Sir.
JACK: Good. Now help me up.
SAM: Ah, I don't think you should move.
JACK: Probably not, but my butt's freezing to the ground. Come on. [Carter
helps him up] Ah. [They look around] Ah, a little paint, a coupla windows,
maybe a fireplace in the corner, it'll be just like home.

Jackson's eyelids flicker and then open. Teal'c comes into focus.
DANIEL: Teal'c?
TEALC: The Stargate has malfunctioned. We came through the 'gate at too
great a velocity.
DANIEL: Jack and Sam?
TEALC: They did not follow.
DANIEL: Yes they did. I know they did. They were right behind us. That
doesn't make any sense.
TEALC: I concur. In a few hours a probe will be sent back in an attempt to
determine their fate.

In the icy place.
JACK: We might be able to climb out of here. You might, anyway.
SAM: What?
JACK: I said, you might be able to climb outta here.
SAM: Colonel, I've found it! [She's digging on top of a block of ice]
JACK: Found what?
SAM: The DHD, I figure the glacial flow must have separated the Stargate
from its Dial Home Device, but it looks like it might be intact. [She sweeps
the snow away]
JACK: [Pulling himself up over the edge of the ice block] Ah, God. Oh. Can
we dig it out?
SAM: Even if it doesn't work, we can use the chopped ice to melt drinking
water.
JACK: Alright.
SAM: [Carter starts chipping away but stops - O'Neill's clasping his chest]
What's wrong with your chest?
JACK: I think I cracked a rib too.
SAM: Why didn't you say something?
JACK: I was afraid you'd try to put a splint on it. I'll be fine. [He gets
his knife out and joins in with chipping at the ice]
SAM: I've been thinking about where Daniel and Teal'c might be.
JACK: Yeah?
SAM: So far, I count three possible explanations. One, Daniel misdialled and
they're here, somewhere we haven't found.
JACK: I don't see 'em.
SAM: 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.
JACK: What's three?
SAM: Three. The Stargate malfunctioned. We got sent to this planet, Daniel
and Teal'c got sent to another one.
JACK: What's four?
SAM: There is no four.
JACK: It's after three.
SAM: Not this time, Colonel.
JACK: Alright, we'll assume they made it back to Earth. They'll start
sending search parties.
SAM: To where?
JACK: Here, I hope.
SAM: Where would they begin? They have no idea where we are. With all the
possible Stargates a random search could easily take ten years!
JACK: Not if they look here first.
SAM: Even if all SG teams started searching right now, the mathematical
probability of them even...
JACK: Captain!
SAM: I think too much.
They resume chipping.

In the 'gate room.
MAN: Charging circuit MX43 at 20%. 100. Circuit is holding, reset and
standby. She's all yours, General.
HAMMOND: Well done, you heard the man.
Tech: Yes Sir. Chevron one encoded.
TEALC: SG-3 and I are ready and awaiting your orders, General.
HAMMOND: I won't authorise this rescue mission unless the probe sends back
the right pictures Teal'c.
Tech: Chevron two encoded.
HAMMOND: All defence teams stay alert. These hostiles might have both our
addresses and our transmitter code.
Tech: Chevron three encoded.
DANIEL: You don't actually think they'd give up the transmitter codes to the
enemy, do you?
HAMMOND: Not willingly, no.
Tech: Chevron four encoded.
TEALC: I do not believe they would do so, even under the duress of torture.
Tech: Chevron five encoded.
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.
Tech: Chevron six encoded.
TEALC: I understand.
Tech: Chevron seven is locked.
The MALP goes through the Stargate.
Tech: The probe should reach the Stargate at P4A-771 in five seconds. Four,
three, two, now.
DANIEL: No sign of Jack and Sam, but no evidence they got into a firefight
either.
The probe gets blasted!
HAMMOND: What are you waiting for? Close the iris! Disengage the Stargate.
SG-3 stand down. The rescue mission is scrubbed.
DANIEL: General!

In the icy place.
JACK: Soups on. [He tips it out]
SAM: Just a little more, I'm almost through.
JACK: Come on now, you don't want to get cold.
SAM: I didn't know you could cook.
JACK: I can't, but my melted ice is to die for.
SAM: Thankyou. Sir, maybe I should have another look at you.
JACK: No, I'm fine. Eat.
SAM: I've been thinking about how the Stargate might have malfunctioned.
JACK: Yeah?
SAM: 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 energised matter stream in one direction along an
extra-dimensional conduit. I think the matter stream between Stargates got
redirected, kind of like 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?
JACK: I'm sorry, I wasn't listening.
SAM: 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 reduce their search.
JACK: That's good news.
SAM: Yeah.

Jackson is looking at the glass map showing the planets.
DANIEL: Okay, so if they are not there, and they are not here...
TEALC: It is possible that they might have perished within the wormhole.
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 possiblity that this malfunction
sent them to another Stargate...
TEALC: Was it not Captain Carter who deduced the possible combinations of
Stargate symbols numbered in the millions?
DANIEL: Well, we have to narrow it down.

They're still chipping away at the ice block.
SAM: Whoah. [She scrapes the chipped ice away] Colonel. [She's revealed a
hand] A serpent guard.
JACK: Yeah.
SAM: I guess he didn't make it.
JACK: Ya think?

Jackson's pointing at the glass map.
DANIEL: Okay, this is P4A-771, this is Earth. Now, the Stargate shut itself
down just after Teal'c and I came through.
HAMMOND: There was an energy surge.
DANIEL: Right. But what would that have done to the wormhole itself?
MAN: I have no idea.
DANIEL: Could it just disappear?
MAN: No, I don't think so Sir. It would have to discharge somewhere.
DANIEL: Like, another Stargate?
MAN: 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.
DANIEL: Positive to negative, like electricity. Right?
MAN: Except for the fact the whole trip happens outside our dimension, yeah,
more or less.
DANIEL: Okay, what if it jumped. Redirected itself here, [Points at map] or
here, or anywhere along...here.
HAMMOND: You're suggesting we search all these worlds?
DANIEL: Well, at least we've narrowed an entire galaxy of Stargates down to
a handful of possibilities.
HAMMOND: Assuming you're right, why haven't they used that Stargate to come
back on their own?
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.

They're uncovered the DHD.
JACK: You IDed the seventh symbol yet?
SAM: Yeah, this one has to be the point of origin. I've never seen it
before. No...batteries...guess it's now or never.
JACK: I've always preferred now to never. [He coughs up blood]
SAM: Here goes. [As she dials the chevrons glow but nothing happens] Dammit!
JACK: You dialled the right address?
SAM: Yes! It has to be something as simple as the control interface. If we
can dig down to the panel on the DHD I can fix it.
JACK: Negative.
SAM: Sir, we've gotta keep trying!
JACK: 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...
SAM: What about you?
JACK: I told you we're gonna get out of here. It's just gonna take longer
than we thought.
SAM: [Nods] Yes Sir. [Sounding unconvinced]
JACK: Captain...?
SAM: [Nods] Yes Sir.

Jackson sticks another post-it note onto the glass map. Hammond enters the
room.
HAMMOND: Dr. Jackson?
DANIEL: We just received probe telemetry from P5C-11 and 12, neither of them
have a breathable atmosphere any more. If they ever did.
HAMMOND: I have formally reported Colonel O'Neill and Captain Carter as
missing in action.
DANIEL: Why?
HAMMOND: Missing in action doesn't mean we stop looking, Son.
Hammond leaves, and Jackson turns to look at the map once more.
DANIEL: Missing, I'm missing something.

Carter and O'Neill are snuggled up together on the icy ground. O'Neill
coughs, Carter stirs.
JACK: Captain. Much as I might otherwise think this is nice...
SAM: Sshhh, try to sleep.
JACK: Is that what we were doing?
SAM: You were exhausted, you passed out. I just thought we had to combine
body heat or we wouldn't make it through the night.
JACK: That's fine, it's just really hard to sleep with broken ribs when
someone's lying on you.
SAM: Sorry, sorry, sorry. [She moves]
JACK: That's better.
SAM: Sleep for a few hours and I'll fix the DHD.
JACK: Okay. Night.
SAM: Night...Oh....Colonel....!
JACK: It's my sidearm, I swear...
Carter giggles.
JACK: No giggling, please...!
SAM: If we don't make it, I won't have any regrets, you?
JACK: I'll regret dying...

Jackson's walking around with a mug of coffee. He stops and stares at the
Stargate. Upstairs, Hammond is equally pensive. Technician watches another
team return...

Carter is getting really annoyed with the DHD!
SAM: God, why won't you work!
JACK: [Uses radio] Carter, Carter...
SAM: Colonel! [She leaps off of the ice block] Sir?
JACK: I'm usually the first one up.
SAM: 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.
JACK: What's the bad news? Help me up.
SAM: No, Sir, you need to heal. That's an order.
JACK: I give the orders around here.
SAM: Doctor's orders. [She takes a pan of water off of the cooker] 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 pan to O'Neill's lips] I should have
gotten you out of here by now, I'm sorry.
JACK: You will, you will.
SAM: I have been working on the control panel for the last twelve hours, it
just, I don't know why it won't work, it should work! I.. I'm missing
something.
JACK: Captain.
SAM: Sir?
JACK: It's time to go to plan B.
SAM: What would plan B be?
JACK: You take the rest of the supplies and climb out of here. Take your
chances up on the planet, head towards daylight.
SAM: If I can't get that Stargate to work, we will BOTH go.
JACK: Right, I'll race you. Alright Captain, make it work.
SAM: Yes Sir.

There's an incoming traveller in the SGC - Teal'c steps through the Stargate
with an injured man slung over his shoulders.
TEALC: Major Kaplin (?) requires medical attention.
Tech: Medical team to the embarkation room! Put the iris on save (?).
HAMMOND: What happened?
TEALC: 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.
HAMMOND: Are you alright?
TEALC: I am ready to embark again.
HAMMOND: I'm calling the search off.
DANIEL: What?
HAMMOND: This was the last of the planets to fit your theory, Doctor.
DANIEL: Well, it's been, what, a few days? What if we stop just short of
finding them?
HAMMOND: I'm sorry! [He storms out]

Carter's still trying to repair the DHD.
SAM: Okay, energy converger intact. Oh God - reset! Reset! Why didn't I
think! Colonel, I'm gonna interrupt the power. I'm gonna 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... [She dials, the chevrons
glow, the ground shakes]

Jackson's still in the room with the glass map. A glass starts to rattle.
Jackson walks over and looks at the Stargate.

Carter looks despairingly at the Stargate.
SAM: Work, ah...work...

Back in the SGC...
TEALC: Daniel Jackson.
DANIEL: Teal'c. Did you see that?
TEALC: Why are you here?
DANIEL: I couldn't sleep. I was thinking that I must be missing something,
and now I just realised we ruled out a world we shouldn't have.

Carter is next to O'Neill, who is lying on the floor.
JACK: I guess it didn't work.
SAM: I'm sorry.
JACK: Not your fault.
SAM: I don't understand why it won't work!
JACK: Captain, plan B, go.
SAM: No, Sir...
JACK: Sam, I'm dying. Follow my order, please.
SAM: Sir...
JACK: Please.
SAM: Yes Sir. [She sets off]

Hammond, Jackson and Teal'c enter the room.
DANIEL: How many Earth-based cultures have we encountered from other worlds
from periods both before and after we think the Stargate was buried?
HAMMOND: Several, I think.
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...
HAMMOND: What's your point, Doctor?
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.
HAMMOND: On Earth?
DANIEL: Yes.
HAMMOND: Teal'c, would the Goa'uld have put more than one Stargate on a
planet?
TEALC: If the first became lost to them, it is possible.
DANIEL: Remember, the one that Ra put here might not have been the first.
The Goa'uld didn't build the Stargate system.
HAMMOND: Then where is it?

Carter is climbing up an icy tunnel.
SAM: [Uses radio] Colonel, I can't see the surface yet, it looks like it
just keeps going up.
JACK: Sam.
SAM: Yes Sir?
JACK: It was an honour serving with you.
SAM: Yes Sir. [She keeps climbing]

Jackson, Teal'c and Hammond are in a huddle with Technician, who has a
computer console in front of him.
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.
TEALC: Let us hope it is not still buried.
HAMMOND: [To Technician] We're looking for radio transmissions on SG-1's
emergency frequency. Co-ordinate with air military listening posts around
the entire globe.
DANIEL: General, when we first opened our Stargate, it used to shake A LOT.
I mean, the ground, the whole facility, everything.
HAMMOND: We've installed frequency dampers that limit that to only a slight
vibration.
DANIEL: Okay, but what if the second 'gate doesn't have...those. Would it
shake enough to indicate its location on a seismometer?
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.
DANIEL: And check about 4am local time. I was here, I thought someone was
trying an off-world activation, but nothing happened. Except for the
chevrons glowed and there was a slight vibration.
TEALC: Captain Carter and Colonel O'Neill.
DANIEL: [To Teal'c] What happens when you dial your own phone number? Wrong
person to ask. [To Hammond] What happens when you dial your own phone
number?
HAMMOND: You get a busy signal.
DANIEL: Exactly. What else could cause a vibration like that except if they
were trying to dial home? They couldn't get home. I mean, even if the
seventh symbol looked different, the co-ordinates of the two gates would
still be exactly the same.

Carter's still climbing.
SAM: [Uses radio] Colonel, I'm almost there. I'm gonna try and bring back
help, Sir, I want you to hold that thought.
She climbs out into the light. There is ice as far as the eye can see!

Back in the SGC...
Tech: We got it! Antarctica! The timing of the event is to the second,
including the event that Dr. Jackson experienced a few hours ago!
HAMMOND: Latitude and longitude?
Tech: Yes Sir! It's only about 50 miles out of McMurdo!
TEALC and DANIEL: General, permission...
HAMMOND: Granted! Order McMurdo station to begin a search of those
co-ordinates NOW.

Carter is still at the planet's surface.
SAM: [Uses radio] Colonel? It's an ICE PLANET. That's all there is as far as
the eye can see. No chance. [She climbs back into the tunnel and shouts to
O'Neill] Colonel! I'm coming down! [She loses her footing and slides all the
way down to where O'Neill is lying] Colonel. [She crawls to his side and
snuggles against him] Colonel...
JACK: Sara...
SAM: I'm here, Jack.
JACK: Cold, so cold...
SAM: I know. It's alright. You can sleep now. It was an honour surfing
[yeah, I know] with you too, Colonel.

Helicopters and rescue teams converge over the pair's position. Men are
lowered down into the cavern. <<McMurdo, this is rescue team Charlie, we
found them, over.>>
DANIEL: Sam! Sam! Come on.
Carter slowly opens her eyes.
DANIEL: It's gonna be okay, you're gonna be okay.
TEALC: As is Colonel O'Neill.
HAMMOND: Let's get them in the chopper.
SAM: ...Colonel - he's bleeding internally.
HAMMOND: We know, Captain, don't worry, he's going to be alright.
SAM: General, you came through the Stargate for us...
HAMMOND: Not exactly Captain. [To one of the rescue team] A team from the
SGC will be coming within the hour to secure this area. In the meantime
let's get these people home.
Hammond turns, his gaze falls upon the icy Stargate...

Episode 9 - "Thor's Hammer"

On arrival, Teal'c is trapped in a beam of light that is coming from a tall
tower near the Stargate. Jack tries to free him, and both of them disappear.
Lots of people on horseback gallop up, led by Gairwyn.

OPENING CREDITS

GAIRWYN: You're a little short for gods. [She dismounts] But you came
through the portal unharmed, so you must be from Thrudvang, Thor's home in
the stars. Hail and welcome!
SAM: Actually, we're not, er. I'm Captain Samantha Carter, this is Daniel
Jackson.
GAIRWYN: My name is Gairwyn; I'm mistress here. My husband is gone a viking.
DANIEL: Trading, fighting...
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.
DANIEL: Thank you.
SAM: Yeah, thanks, but we have a very serious problem. Two of the men who
came through the portal with us, they've gone.
GAIRWYN: Yes, I heard there were two Etins in your company.
SAM: Etins?
DANIEL: Goa'ulds, you think that Teal'c and Jack are Goa'ulds?
GAIRWYN: You tricked them here to be rid of them, yes?
SAM: No! No, they're friends! And if they're alive we need to find them.
GAIRWYN: You're humans, like us!
SAM: Yes! You and I may even have some of the same ancestors. We came here
from a different world. From Earth.
DANIEL: Midgard.
GAIRWYN: Then we are your brothers and sisters! Midgard is the ancient home.
Thor brought our people here and made this [Thor's Hammer] to keep us safe!
DANIEL: Do you know, do you know how this works? Are they dead?
GAIRWYN: That's a magic beyond our ken. It's said that Thor will come back
and teach us when we are older.
SAM: Gairwyn, would Thor kill a human being in order to kill an Etin?
GAIRWYN: Never. Our gods are great and powerful warriors, but they are just
and true to their word.
DANIEL: So they may be alive?
SAM: Is there anyone who might know where they are?
GAIRWYN: Only one. We call her Kendra. Ten seasons ago she walked through
the portal and was taken.
SAM: Taken? Where?
GAIRWYN: That winter some hunters found her wandering half frozen in the
mountains.
SAM: Maybe the beam transported them somewhere else on the planet.
DANIEL: Do you know where we can find, this, this Kendra?
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.
DANIEL: Absolutely, please.
GAIRWYN: This way.
Gairwyn waves to the others and walks off with Daniel and Sam.

In a dark cave.
JACK: [Suddenly leaps up] Teal'c?
Teal'c gets up and looks at his X, the larva squidges out, squeaking.
JACK: Is junior okay?
TEALC: Yes, but the beam caused the Goa'uld I carry great pain.
JACK: Er, I'm sorry to hear that. [There's a noise] Whoa!
Thor has appeared.
THOR: I am Thor, supreme commander of the Asgard fleet. The high council of
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.
JACK: Ah, we're not Goa'ulds. He carries one around in him, but he doesn't
have much choice in the matter.
THOR: You were warned not to come here, under pain of death.
JACK: Look, I'm Colonel Jack O'Neill, from Earth. I happen to know you spent
some time there in our past...
THOR: For the crimes against the living host, and all those you have
murdered and enslaved, the sentence is death.
JACK: Look, erm, we came here to see you.
Jack sweeps his gun through Thor's image - it's a hologram.
THOR: This is your prison. Your technology will not function here. There are
no luxuries, no worshippers, no slaves to do your bidding...
JACK: Teal'c, I think we just got the answering machine.
THOR: ...only basic sustenance and time.
JACK: Yeah, thanks for the chat.
TEALC: We should hear the remainder of this message.
THOR: When you tire of this existence, go to the Hall of Mjolnir, and face
the Hammer. There is no escape. Only the host can leave this place alive.
Thor disappears.
JACK: Goa'uld trap?
TEALC: So it would seem. If I attempt to leave this place, the Goa'uld I
carry will be destroyed.
JACK: By a hammer?
TEALC: You must leave without me. If I stay I will remain safe.
JACK: Just relax, Teal'c, I'm not going anywhere. Let's just find this...
Hall of Mohair, whatever it's called.

Gairwyn, Sam and Daniel stand on the rocks above Kendra's house. Kendra puts
Goa'uld technology onto her hand and raises it to a boy's head.
DANIEL: No!
Kendra turns to look at them.
GAIRWYN: Ssh, it's alright.
Kendra shines the beam from the technology onto the boy's hand.
KENDRA: Moonlight flow in might and main, knit the bones and take the pain.
[She undoes the strapping on the boy's arm] Now, the next time you want to
fight, choose a boy your own size.
The boy runs away when Kendra has finished.
Gairwyn, Sam and Daniel approach.
KENDRA: Gairwyn, my friend, hail and welcome.
GAIRWYN: This is Carter, and Daniel.
DANIEL: Hail.
SAM: Hi. Hail.
GAIRWYN: They came through the portal, from Midgard, the first home. They
need your help.
SAM: What did you just do to that boy?
KENDRA: He had a broken wrist, I healed it.
DANIEL: Then why did he run away?
KENDRA: Because of this. [She shows them a scar on her back] It is the mark
of what I used to be.
SAM: When a Goa'uld takes over a human host it's permanent.
KENDRA: Not here. Thor's Hammer drove it from my body and restored me to my
true self.
DANIEL: The, it, you mean the parasite that was inside of you?
KENDRA: Is gone.
DANIEL: My God.
SAM: Thor's Hammer? The stone by the gate?
KENDRA: No, the Hammer is deep underground, inside the mountain.
GAIRWYN: As long as I have known her, Kendra has harmed no-one.
DANIEL: My wife, Sha're, is now as you once were. She has been taken by a
Goa'uld, and, if what you're saying is true...
KENDRA: It is true.
DANIEL: Then help us.
SAM: Help us to find our friends.

Jack and Teal'c are walking along in the caves.
TEALC: You should not have attempted to rescue me from the beam. If you had
not done so you would not be here now.
JACK: Oh, you'd have done the same for me. Course, you're not going to find
me walking around with one of those Goa'uld larvae in my gut, but hey.
They walk into a cavern that is strewn with bones. Jack picks up a broken
one.
JACK: Ouch.
Teal'c picks up the skeletal remains of a larva.
TEALC: These Goa'ulds died with their human hosts. The marks on these bones,
they are from a cutting instrument. But not metal.
JACK: What then?
TEALC: I believe they were made by large, powerful, teeth. These bodies did
not die of natural causes. They were killed, and then eaten.
JACK: It's obvious some wild animal found its way in. There's gotta be a way
out. We find it, we're gone.
Jack walks off, and Teal'c follows him. We see something move in the
shadows.

Kendra fills Daniel's cup from a jug. They're sitting at a table outside,
eating.
KENDRA: I call it the labyrinth; it is the place where the Goa'ulds are
destroyed.
Sam sniffs the drink that Kendra passes to her.
DANIEL: How is it done? Did you feel it?
KENDRA: Yes.
DANIEL: And was it painful?
KENDRA: It was nothing compared to 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 to do is wait.
SAM: Teal'c is our friend too. He's Jaffa, not Goa'uld.
KENDRA: Jaffa, a friend? They are as guilty as those they serve!
SAM: 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.
DANIEL: But if the Goa'uld larva within him is removed, he will die. You
see, once a Jaffa carries a larva, it acts as his immune system.
KENDRA: I know all I want to know of Jaffa.
DANIEL: [Trying to placate her] Alright.
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.
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.
Kendra walks away from them. It thunders.
KENDRA: [To the sky] Did I ask your counsel? [She walks back to Sam 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.
GAIRWYN: [Grasps Kendra's arm] This is right. Go with Thor, my friend.
KENDRA: I will take you, but first I must consult the runes.

Jack and Teal'c are in a hall with columns.
JACK: Teal'c, take a shot at that lamp with your staff weapon.
Teal'c raises the staff and fires it, but it doesn't work. It just clicks.
TEALC: It will not function.
JACK: Yeah, that's what he said would happen as long as we're in here.
Jack fires his gun. It works.
TEALC: This race may have considered projectile weapons too primitive to be
concerned about.
We see a monster in the shadows.
JACK: Yuh. Here.
Jack hands Teal'c a pistol and sits down.
TEALC: The message said only the host could leave this place alive.
JACK: Right.
TEALC: Perhaps this could be of some benefit to the boy who was your friend.
JACK: Skaara, yeah I thought of that.
TEALC: And the wife of Daniel Jackson. Perhaps if they could be brought
here, the Goa'uld who took them as hosts could be purged.
JACK: Maybe.
There is a gurgling noise; Jack leaps up.
TEALC: What is it, O'Neill?
JACK: Nothing. Never mind.

Kendra is consulting the runes. A circle is marked out on the ground with
stones.
KENDRA: Mighty Thor, god of thunder and lightning, wield your hammer and
protect me. [She gets up] [To Sam and Daniel] Now you must sit in the circle
and wait with me.
SAM: For what?
KENDRA: A sign, from Thor himself.
SAM: Great, another sign.
Sam and Daniel sit down in the circle.
DANIEL: [To Sam] She's probably afraid to go back there. Maybe if we offer
her some moral support. [To Kendra] How much do you remember of your life
before?
KENDRA: Much. I was a beautiful child.
SAM: Is that bad?
KENDRA: On Jabbanna (?), beauty is a curse.
SAM: I don't understand.
DANIEL: Because the Goa'uld want perfect hosts?
KENDRA: Yes.
DANIEL: What happened?
KENDRA: Mardock discovered our secret and raided the temple where they tried
to hide me.
SAM: I'm sorry.
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.
DANIEL: Something of the host survives.
SAM: How did you end up here? Teal'c said the Goa'uld made this a forbidden
planet ages ago.
KENDRA: And so it is. But I knew my beast. I taunted her, and whispered of
rumours that Cimmeria must hold a wealth of riches for one bold enough to
take it.
DANIEL: You actually influenced the Goa'uld that had taken you over?
KENDRA: Yes, she came to Cimmeria, and I hoped only for a quick death,
escape. But we were taken into the labyrinth, a dark and terrifying place.
Until Thor's Hammer set me free. And I have honoured his ways, and his
people, ever since.
Thunder.
KENDRA: It is a sign from Thor. Now, we can go.

Jack touches some water flowing down a wall.
JACK: Water. Give it enough time and it'll bring down walls, even walls just
like that. So in a coupla hundred years, we'll be free.
They see a shadowy figure approaching.
JACK: What the hell is that?
We see the monster.
UNAS: Jaffa. I am Unas, the first one.
TEALC: You do not exist.
UNAS: Kill the human...
JACK: Excuse me?
UNAS: ...and we will feast together.
TEALC: I no longer serve the Goa'uld.
UNAS: We shall see. [He approaches]
JACK: Uh, just stay put right there. [He raises his gun]
UNAS: Weapons are of no use here.
Unas knocks Teal'c out of the way and approaches Jack, who opens fire. Unas
staggers backwards and falls to the ground. They look at him. Teal'c feels
his neck.
TEALC: The first one, is dead.
JACK: Yeah, well, that's fine by me. C'mon.
When they've left, Unas' eyes light up. He's not dead!

Daniel, Sam and Kendra are walking through the mountains.

JACK: What? Teal'c, can you relax? That thing's dead for crying out loud.
TEALC: I believe I heard a sound.
JACK: Well there wouldn't be two of those things in here, would there?
TEALC: If there were, they would surely battle to the death.
JACK: So what did you mean when you told that thing it didn't exist?
TEALC: 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.
JACK: That thing was a Goa'uld?
TEALC: Yes.
JACK: I thought they preferred human hosts?
TEALC: There are other species far older that have been used as hosts, some
of immeasurable power and savagery.
JACK: Yeah, well, I wonder how long it's been trapped down here.
TEALC: Perhaps a thousand years. Unas can utilise long periods of sleep to
survive.
JACK: It is dead, right? We don't have to go back there and drive a stake
through its chest or anything?
TEALC: The old stories say Unas had great regenerative powers. But those are
tales told to frighten children. It is a myth.
JACK: Huh.
TEALC: It was dead.
JACK: That's good. [He walks off]
TEALC: I believe.
JACK: You believe? [Jack stops, they walk on together]
TEALC: I am certain.
JACK: Positive?
TEALC: I am.
JACK: Just a myth.
TEALC: A myth.
JACK: Good.

Kendra kneels on top of a ridge.
DANIEL: We're not lost, are we?
KENDRA: It was long ago. Everything was covered with snow. It all looks
different now.
Sam walks off in disgust. Daniel crouches next to Kendra.
DANIEL: Kendra, it's alright, just take your time. Kendra, when the Goa'uld
was destroyed within you, what did it feel like, exactly?
KENDRA: Your wife?
DANIEL: I have to know if there's any hope.
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.
DANIEL: Well, Sha're wasn't trained in a temple like you, but she had a
spirit, she was a fighter.
KENDRA: You loved her very much.
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.
KENDRA: No! You still are connected. If you find her, and bring her here, I
believe there is hope.
DANIEL: Thank you.
Sam walks over to them.
KENDRA: I'm sure now. This is the way. [She points]
The three of them walk off.

Jack and Teal'c pause before walking down another tunnel. Unas groans as he
pulls bullets out of himself. He looks at one of the bullets and roars. Jack
and Teal'c hear him.
JACK: Okay, that's no myth.

Kendra, Sam and Daniel are walking along an aqueduct.
KENDRA: Gairwyn told me Thor built this centuries ago. It brings the water
from the mountains to his people in the towns.
DANIEL: Thor is generous.
KENDRA: Yes. This means we are close.
Kendra walks ahead, Sam accosts Daniel in order to talk to him.
SAM: Daniel, she said that hours ago. Now either she's lost and doesn't want
to admit it, or...
DANIEL: I don't think that she would mislead us.
SAM: Maybe it's not on purpose, maybe it's not even conscious! What she
suffered on her world and while being a Goa'uld will translate anywhere as
incredible abuse.
DANIEL: Doesn't the fact that she interpreted those gusts of wind and
thunder as signs mean something?
SAM: 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!
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.
SAM: Daniel, your belief that Kendra can somehow help bring Sha're back to
you, it doesn't make it true...
Daniel turns away.
SAM: ...and it certainly doesn't make her reliable!
DANIEL: Haven't you ever had a feeling that made absolutely no logical sense
and it turned out to be right?
KENDRA: [Shouts from a distance] This way!
They follow her along the aqueduct.

JACK: You sure we didn't come this way before?
TEALC: We have not.
JACK: It looks awfully familiar.
Unas appears and moves towards them.
UNAS: Your weapons cannot kill me! I know the secrets of the labyrinth. I
could help you escape.
JACK: A map would be nice.
Jack and Teal'c shoot Unas.
JACK: C'mon!
Unas gets up again!

KENDRA: There.
They go up a hillside and look at a carving.
DANIEL: The Hammer.
KENDRA: Yes, this is where I came out.
SAM: Okay, good. What do you remember about the labyrinth?
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.
DANIEL: Thor is inside?
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 was in there, something alive.
DANIEL: What?
KENDRA: I don't know.
DANIEL: Look, you don't have to go any further if you don't want to, okay?
Kendra nods, it thunders.
KENDRA: Thor asks that I try.

Teal'c and Jack enter a chamber. A door opens, and Jack goes through it.
JACK: Yeah, this is it. We're outta here, let's go.
Teal'c steps forward and is trapped in a beam of red light. He's obviously
in extreme pain.
JACK: Teal'c, get out of there!
Teal'c can't move so Jack knocks him back through the doorway.
TEALC: Thank you, O'Neill.
JACK: Yeah.
There is a growl.
TEALC: If I am to die, it would be as a warrior, facing my enemy.
JACK: Last mag, hell, why not. [He loads the last magazine into his gun]

Kendra pauses before entering the cave.
SAM: It's okay, stay here.
DANIEL: You've done enough, really.
KENDRA: In the temple we were taught that fear is the greatest enemy. I must
face my fear.
Daniel and Sam exchange looks, and they all enter.

Unas approaches.
TEALC: Are you considering the same tactic as I?
JACK: Teal'c, the cliché is, "are you thinking what I'm thinking?". And the
answer is yes.
UNAS: Human, you can save yourself, why do you stay? 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.
Unas roars as he attacks them. Teal'c grapples with him, and when Unas is in
front of the Hammer they open fire.
DANIEL: Gunfire. They're in trouble.
KENDRA: It's still alive.
Jack and Teal'c are shooting Unas.
SAM: We're so close! Feel around the door, see if there's a trigger
somewhere.
Jack and Teal'c shoot more, Unas sinks down.
KENDRA: There's one more thing I can try. I learned this from the songs of
Thor's people. [She touches the wall] Call the rune flow, read the might,
see the rainbow, test the white!
The door opens.
Unas gets up and lurches forward. Teal'c grabs him and pushes him into the
Hammer; Teal'c is trapped in the beam as well.
JACK: Teal'c!
Unas is roaring in agony.
TEALC: There is no other way!
Jack pulls Teal'c out of the beam. Unas eventually falls out of the beam.
Teal'c looks at him. The others enter.
TEALC: Without the healing power of the Goa'uld, this body will no longer
regenerate. There is too much damage.
KENDRA: Now I see why they call you friend.
SAM: This is Kendra, she brought us here.
DANIEL: She had first-hand knowledge. She was a Goa'uld.
Jack and Teal'c look at Kendra.
DANIEL: The Hammer works! Do you know what this means?
JACK: It's the only way out of here, Daniel.
DANIEL: What this thing can do for Sha're and Skaara?
JACK: Teal'c's here now.
TEALC: And here I will remain. I was with those who took the ones you love.
JACK: No, you're part of this family now. We're not leaving you behind.
Daniel looks as if he's going to say something but thinks better of it.
JACK: This thing won't work in here, try it from out there.
Jack hands Daniel the staff weapon. Daniel leaves the others and walks onto
the exit side of the Hammer. He reluctantly raises the staff and shoots the
Hammer. Blue light ricochets around it.
SAM: Did it work?
JACK: There's one way to find out.
Teal'c pauses before stepping through the Hammer.
TEALC: Thank you, Daniel Jackson.
Teal'c takes back the staff weapon.
DANIEL: Well at least we know it can be done, right?

They're gathered at the Stargate.
KENDRA: Now that the Hammer is lost, I'm not sure what we'll do.
JACK: Ah, you should be alright. The Goa'uld don't know the Hammer was
destroyed.
SAM: Seal up the cave, if they come back at least they'll be put somewhere
safe.
KENDRA: I want to thank you for helping me have the courage to face my
greatest fears.
She opens up a bag and takes out a rune stone.
KENDRA: This is to remember our world.
She gives the stone to Daniel.
DANIEL: Thank you.
TEALC: We will never forget.
SAM: And we'd like to come back.
DANIEL: Oh! [He runs to the vehicle] I almost forgot. [He picks up a grey
box and hands it 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.
It thunders.
KENDRA: Thor is pleased.
JACK: That's great. Tell him we'd love to meet him someday, in person.
KENDRA: [Nodding] It is safe for you to travel, you should go now.
JACK: Daniel, you want to start dialling home, before it starts raining?
DANIEL: Right.

Scene: A darkened room at Area 51.

A mirror suddenly flashes on.

SAMANTHA: Major! Come on!

KAWALSKY: We gotta go back for the General!

SAMANTHA: I can't shut it down. I won't find this window again. We have to
go now!

Kawalsky throws a grenade down the hall and they both reach out to touch the
mirror. They are transported to this side of the mirror. The grenade goes
off and the mirror switches off.

KAWALSKY: You sure this is the right one to go to?

SAMANTHA: Anywhere's better than the alternative.

She steps through a sensor and alarms go off.

KAWALSKY: I guess we'll see about that.

Armed SF's run in.

SF: Drop your weapons! Do it now!

They do so reluctantly.

SAMANTHA: I'm Dr Samantha Carter from the SGA. This is Major Kawalsky. We
need to speak to your commander.

TITLES

Jack walks down the corridor to the Infirmary.

O'NEILL: So, what's the big emer.?

He sees Samantha sitting on the bed with long hair.

O'NEILL: Whoa! What happened to you?

SAMANTHA: Jack.

O'NEILL: Jack?

SAMANTHA: It's me. It's Sam.

O'NEILL: Uh.. Yeah.

SAMANTHA: I never expected this variation. You're alive.

KAWALSKY: Don't feel so bad, Colonel. Everybody around here is telling me
the same thing.

O'NEILL: Kawalsky?

HAMMOND: In a manner of speaking.

FRAISER: Actually, in a manner of fact, sir. This is Major Charles Kawalsky
in almost every physical respect: his bloodwork, his dental records.

KAWALSKY: But I'm not supposed to be alive in this reality any more than you
are in mine. Sorry, Sam.

SAMANTHA: It's not the same with us here, is it?

O'NEILL: Does. anyone wanna let me know what the hell's goin' on here?
Anyone?

HAMMOND: They appeared a few hours ago in a Nellis high security lockup.

KAWALSKY: That quantum mirror you got locked up at Area 51? You guys never
figured out how to use it?

O'NEILL: Is he talking about that alternate reality thing Daniel futzed with
on 233?

KAWALSKY: Who's Daniel?

SAMANTHA: We can't be followed if that's what you're worried about. We
brought the remote through with us.

HAMMOND: I've ordered the device sent here under heavy guard.

KAWALSKY: Where we come from, the Goa'ulds just took over the world,
Colonel.

Scene: Briefing room.

Jack, Sam, Daniel, Teal'c and Hammond are watching a tape of Samantha's
interview.

SAMANTHA: Look, I've told you this. Now let me talk to someone from the SGA.

MAN: SGA? There is no such organisation.

SAMANTHA: Well then you call it something else. The Stargate Project.
Stargate Command.

MAN: The Stargate. What do you know about the Stargate?

SAMANTHA: What do I know?! Everything! We've been through this!

MAN: Well let's go through it again.

SAMANTHA: Oh, for crying out loud!

Jack looks astonished and turns to look at Sam.

SAMANTHA: It's a big round thing. It takes you to other planets. I made it
work four years ago and we have been exploring the galaxy ever since. That
is, up until yesterday, when the Goa'uld came and started taking over every
major city from orbit and making slaves of the population.

Hammond pauses the tape.

CARTER: Oh my God. This is too weird.

O'NEILL: Yeah. How about that hair?

HAMMOND: She claims to have travelled from an alternate universe in the same
manner Dr Jackson experienced a year ago.

DANIEL: Well this can't be the Dr Carter I met in the alternate reality. She
's.. dead.

O'NEILL: All right. Uh. just to clarify. This Carter is from an alternate
alternate reality?

DANIEL: Apparently.

O'NEILL: Anybody else have a problem with that?

TEAL'C: Which reality is actually real.

O'NEILL: Thank you Teal'c.

HAMMOND: She explains it.

He starts the tape again.

SAMANTHA: Look, I know this is hard for you to understand. But, according to
quantum theory, for every possible universe, there are an infinite number of
variations, diverging at every choice we make like forks in a road.

MAN: Uh-huh.

Hammond pauses the tape again.

CARTER: She's right.

O'NEILL: You just agreed with yourself.

DANIEL: No, actually, Major Carter agreed with Dr Carter. She never joined
the military in her reality.

O'NEILL: Fork in the road stuff?

DANIEL: Apparently.

O'NEILL: All right. So it's possible there's an alternate version of myself
out there that actually understands what the hell you're talking about?

HAMMOND: They've asked to be debriefed. I'd like you all to participate.

They nod. Hammond turns to the SF on the door.

HAMMOND: Show them in.

Samantha and Kawalsky walk in. Kawalsky sees Teal'c.

KAWALSKY: What the hell is he doing here?

O'NEILL: Kawalsky!

DANIEL: He's a member of SG-1.

KAWALSKY: Who the hell are you?

DANIEL: Oh, um, I'm Daniel Jackson. Also a member of SG-1.

HAMMOND: Have a seat Major.

Kawalsky sits down next to Daniel. Samantha sees Sam.

SAMANTHA: Nice. hair.

CARTER: Uh, Air Force.

SAMANTHA: I can't imagine that- going military.

CARTER: Wow! I can't imagine not.

Samantha goes to sit next to Jack.

HAMMOND: First of all, I would like to say we know what you've been through.
Dr Jackson experienced a similar alternate reality some time ago on a
mission to P3X 233.

SAMANTHA: Well that's where we found our quantum mirror as well.

HAMMOND: Fortunately for us, Dr Jackson was able to return with some
intelligence that enabled SG-1 to stop the Goa'uld attack here on Earth.

SAMANTHA: Nice. That goes a long way to explaining why yours was only one of
a handful of alternate realities that looked like it hadn't been overrun by
the Goa'uld.

CARTER: Actually, it's probably the very differences that set our universes
apart from yours that have contributed to our survival. Daniel's
participation in the Stargate programme, Teal'c's change of heart. The fact
that I joined the military.

SAMANTHA: You think that your being in the Air Force could have made that
big a difference?

CARTER: No. I just said it made a contribution.

SAMANTHA: And therefore I didn't.

O'NEILL: Ladies. Sams. We're all in this reality together.

HAMMOND: What we need to know is where you intend to go from here.

SAMANTHA: Our beta site was instructed to bury their Stargate the moment the
last man stepped through. And our own world is under Goa'uld control so we
can't go back.

KAWALSKY: We wanna stay.

SAMANTHA: That is.. if we're wanted. We just left behind everyone we know,
everyone we ever cared about. If you're not gonna give us a second chance, I
don't know any of you.

O'NEILL: Well exactly. You don't know any of us. And we don't know you. For
all we know. You could be her evil twin. But then we'd be dealing with
cliches and you know how I feel about those. No, actually, you know how I
feel about those.

HAMMOND: Okay. I'll speak with my superiors and make a determination. For
now, you'll be assigned temporary accommodations. Take them to A3 quarters.

Scene: SGC Corridor

CARTER: Listen, I didn't mean to offend you back there.

SAMANTHA: Look Major, I'm the one dealing with the inadequacy issues here.
Just forget about it.

CARTER: What?

SAMANTHA: We knew the Goa'uld were coming for 6 months. I couldn't think of
a way to stop them. You did.

She walks into the room.

FEMALE SF: I'll be just outside if you need me Ma'am .

SAMANTHA: Course you will.

The SF shuts the door.

Samantha sits on the bed and takes a photograph out of her pocket. She puts
it on the drawers next to the bed. It's a photo of AU Sam and Jack on their
wedding day. The camera zooms in.

Scene: Hammond's Office.

He's on the phone.

HAMMOND: Yes, Sir. I understand Sir. Thank you Sir. They can stay.

O'NEILL: That was quick.

HAMMOND: Too quick. God knows what we're getting into.

O'NEILL: Well the combined IQ points of Earth might go up a few points
having two Carters around.

Hammond doesn't smile.

O'NEILL: I take it you figure there's a down side.

HAMMOND: It just doesn't sit right. Some lines aren't meant to be crossed.
Nonetheless, I've been encouraged to find a way to incorporate them into
this command.

O'NEILL: Okay. In the meantime, do you want me to tell 'em?

HAMMOND: Very well.

Scene: Samantha's quarters.

There's a knock at the door and the door opens.

SAMANTHA: Just put it on the table and close the door on your way out.

O'NEILL: I'm sorry. Put what on the table?

SAMANTHA: Jack! I'm sorry. Come in. Your.  your Dr Fraiser keeps insisting
that I eat something.

O'NEILL: Ah. Well, she's your Doc Fraiser now too. You're in. They said yes.

SAMANTHA: That's good.

O'NEILL: Yeah. I can see you're overjoyed.

SAMANTHA: I just never expected this. It's so hard.

O'NEILL: Uh, look. I can't even begin to know what you've been through. I. I
know you've lost a lot.

SAMANTHA: I lost you. I watched you die Jack. Three days ago, trying to
defend the mountain. And here you are, alive and safe in this perfect world,
and you don't even know me.

O'NEILL: Well, I. I sort of know you.

SAMANTHA: You know her. You don't even see her that way, do you?

Jack sees the photograph and clicks what she is talking about.

O'NEILL: I take it, where you're from, we were.

SAMANTHA: Married.

O'NEILL: Ah.

SAMANTHA: This makes you uncomfortable.

O'NEILL: No, no, not at all. I just.. I get confused.

Knock on the door.

FEMALE SF: Ma'am? Sorry Colonel. I.. I didn't realise.

O'NEILL: Just put it on the table Airman.

FEMALE SF: Yes, Sir.

O'NEILL: Close the door on your way out.

She leaves and shuts the door.

SAMANTHA: I haven't had a hot meal in forever.

She gets up and goes to the food.

SAMANTHA: It was a couple of weeks ago. We were celebrating our first
anniversary. We got the call that the Goa'uld ships had been spotted
entering our solar system. We just left everything. You blew out the candles
and I turned off the oven and we just left. They didn't hit Colorado Springs
from orbit like most of the big cities so the table must still be set.

O'NEILL: Cold by now.

SAMANTHA: Yeah.

O'NEILL: Listen, um, I should probably be..

SAMANTHA: Stay!

O'NEILL: Sam.

SAMANTHA: Please.

O'NEILL: Look..You're dealing with a loss right now that I can't even begin
to.. what I mean is, maybe I'm not the right person to help you.

SAMANTHA: Yes, you are. You're the only one who can. Look.I know you well
enough to know you don't have a clue what to say. But you don't have to say
anything.

O'NEILL: Come here.

Jack takes Samantha into his arms while she cries.

SAMANTHA: Oh, I miss him.

Scene: SGC Corridor.

Jack walks out of Samantha's quarters and walks along the corridor where he
meets Sam.

CARTER: Sir. General Hammond told me the news. I took the liberty of
informing Major Kawalsky.

O'NEILL: Thank you. I was just on my way to do that.

CARTER: I thought I'd drop in on, uh, Samantha. See how she's doing.

O'NEILL: She's fine. I think she'd rather be left alone at the moment. Just
stop in tomorrow.

CARTER: Oh, all right. Well, good night, Sir.

O'NEILL: Carter?

CARTER: Yes Sir?

O'NEILL: How are you doing with this. twin thing?

CARTER: Do you have a couple of hours?

O'NEILL: Okay.

CARTER: That was the answer.

O'NEILL: Oh, oh.

CARTER: Good night, Sir.

Sam walks off.

O'NEILL: Good night, Major.

Scene: Samantha's Room.

Samantha is brushing her hair when she hears something and drops the brush.
She grabs hold of the bed and suddenly her face morphs out.

Scene: SGC Infirmary

Samantha is in a bed and Sam walks in.

CARTER: What is it? What's happening?

FRAISER: Dr Carter has gone into some sort of convulsive shock. I don't know
the cause and I don't know how to stop it.

Samantha starts to fit again.

FRAISER: Easy.

SAMANTHA: Not medical. Temporal. Entropic cascade failure.

CARTER: On the cellular level?

SAMANTHA: Yes. I thought it would take years not days.

CARTER: So it's a side effect of travel through the quantum mirror.

KAWALSKY: Then why don't I have it?

CARTER: I'm guessing Dr Carter has it because I'm here. The increased
entropy generated by both of us existing in the same reality might
theoretically be causing the temporal distortion.

SAMANTHA: Not theoretical any more.

FRAISER: Okay, so then how do I treat this?

SAMANTHA: You can't.

CARTER: The more time passes the worse it should get.

SAMANTHA: So I'm gonna die here.

O'NEILL: You're not gonna die.

CARTER: Actually, sir.

O'NEILL: Carter.

CARTER: Well the only way she won't is if we send her back.

KAWALSKY: If she goes back, the Goa'uld will kill her.

Scene: SGC Briefing room.

DANIEL: Think about it: Billions of people enslaved. I just can't help but
feel that in the grand scheme of things, we owe them. Besides the only way
to really help Dr Carter is to stop the Goa'uld in her reality and save
whatever's left.

HAMMOND: How do you suggest we do that Dr Jackson? The resources of their
entire world couldn't defend against the Goa'uld.

DANIEL: What about the resources of our world?

CARTER: What do we have that they don't?

DANIEL: Our fate. We made contact with the Asgard.

O'NEILL: So?

DANIEL: So if Dr Carter can make contact with the Asgard in her reality,
maybe their Asgard will be willing to help them.

HAMMOND: Defend their world against the Goa'uld?

DANIEL: Yes.

O'NEILL: And just how do you propose we raise the Asgard, in their reality?

DANIEL: Okay, we still have the dialling program that took you to the Asgard
home planet, right?

CARTER: Which we could download to a removable hard drive. But that still
won't do it. Remember, in order to dial the Asgard homeworld they had to
provide us with a generator to transfer extra energy to the Gate's
capacitors. I can't get it to work again. Apparently, it was designed to
work only once.

TEAL'C: Assuming, Major Carter can figure it out, once in her reality it
will be difficult to get Dr Carter to the Stargate without the Goa'uld
detecting and stopping her.

KAWALSKY: That's where I come in. Permission to join the briefing Sir?

Hammond indicates for him to sit down.

KAWALSKY: I'll get her to the Stargate. What you think I'm gonna let her go
alone? She's my best friend's wife.

Sam and Jack look at each other as Sam works out who Kawalsky's best friend
is/was.

O'NEILL: You'll need someone to hook up the power generator.

CARTER: And download the dialling program.

TEAL'C: You will also require my assistance.

KAWALSKY: We can handle this.

DANIEL: No, Teal'c has a point. You said yourself that Teal'c led the
assault on the mountain in your reality. Couldn't we use something like that
to our advantage?

O'NEILL: Quite the military mind, Daniel Jackson.

CARTER: No, Sir. I'm sorry. Teal'c can't go anymore than I can. Entropic
cascade failure. If I go, there will still be two of me in one reality. And
the same will be true with Teal'c.

TEAL'C: Dr Carter did not become ill during her first 48 hours. If our
mission is not completed during that time, it is most likely that we will be
dead.

O'NEILL: Good point. Are you okay with all this Sir?

HAMMOND: If you feel confident you can pull this off, I have no objections.
However, on your return, I want that quantum mirror destroyed.

DANIEL: Okay, well this is all well and good, but none of us are going
anywhere unless we get that Asgard generator working again.

O'NEILL: Okay. Carter, download the program to the removable whatever-it-is
and meet me and yourself in the lab.

CARTER: Yes Sir.

Scene: Lab

SAMANTHA: Well this is incredible. If the Asgard could design this to give
the Gate extra juice then they're just the little green men we're looking
for.

O'NEILL: They're grey actually. Roswell Grey to be exact.

CARTER: I had a hard time trying to figure out how this worked the first
time let alone make it work again.

SAMANTHA: If it's powered by the energy module of a staff weapon why doesn't
it.

CARTER: Blow up? My best guess is the device creates a modulated dampening
field around the liquified naqahdah cell.

SAMANTHA: Which controls the energy transfer to the capacitor. So maybe the
modulation is thrown out of whack each time it's activated.

CARTER: That's exactly what I thought! But how do you even begin to
recalibrate a field that you can't generate in the first place?

O'NEILL: Hey, hey, hey, hey! Are you Carters gonna be able to figure this
out?

SAMANTHA/CARTER: We'll figure it out.

Samantha goes into convulsive shock again.

SAMANTHA: Aarrgh!

CARTER: We have to figure it out.

Scene: Room with Mirror

Kawalsky is explaining to Daniel how to work the controller for the mirror.

KAWALSKY: Okay, the way Dr C explained it, the controller is not what you'd
call an exacting science. You can't just dial up an address like you would
on a Stargate. You have to kinda figure out where you are.

DANIEL: I guess it's not a very expedient way to get home.

KAWALSKY: As long as you don't turn it off, it's always connected to the
same reality.

DANIEL: So when you turn it on again, it won't be connected to the reality
you came from?

KAWALSKY: Right. We'd have to find it again. Now this thing switches to the
various realities. If I turn it on now, it should come up somewhere the
reality it was last on.

He switches the mirror on and we see a corridor similar to one in the SGC.

KAWALSKY: There. See? That's not it. No grenade damage. I tossed a grenade
down the hall to slow them down so they didn't see us go through the mirror.

DANIEL: So we need to find a reality that's just right. Do you mind if I.?

KAWALSKY: Oh..

He hands the controller to Daniel and Daniel turns it. It comes on to a room
similar to Area 51

KAWALSKY: There. See? You probably turned it the wrong way. Since this
device should be in a storage closet in my reality, dial it the other way.

Daniel dials until he comes across a corridor with Jaffa in it.

KAWALSKY: Change it! Change it! Change it!

Daniel changes it to an empty hall.

KAWALSKY: Okay. Closer. What you wanna do is dial it in smaller increments.

Jack walks in.

O'NEILL: Daniel? You understand this thing?

DANIEL: I think so.

O'NEILL: Good.

Samantha comes into view.

SAMANTHA: Colonel!

CARTER: We did it!

O'NEILL: Already?

SAMANTHA: Yeah, all we needed was the ratio decay rate of naqahdah relative
to the energy output.

CARTER: Which I learned to calculate when I learned about our new naqahdah
generator. It's just the ratio.

O'NEILL: Agh! It works, right?

Samantha flicks the switch and it glows green.

CARTER: It works.

O'NEILL: Good.

KAWALSKY: I guess we better go do this.

Scene: SGC Storage Room

Samantha has changed into her normal clothes, Kawalsky is back in his black
BDU's and Teal'c comes in wearing Jaffa uniform. Jack and Daniel are
standing by the mirror also wearing black BDU's.

SAMANTHA: Yep, that's right. Looks like him.

TEAL'C: I am not fond of wearing this uniform again.

KAWALSKY: Well I'm not too fond of seeing you wear it.

DANIEL: I've searched through all the descriptions of realities close to
ours and this has to be it. It's the only one matching your description.

KAWALSKY: Yeah.

Sam comes in and stands in front of Samantha.

CARTER: Wish I could go.

SAMANTHA: Same here. But you don't wanna go through a cascade tremor,
believe me. We made a good team Major.

CARTER: Yeah, we did Doctor.

SAMANTHA: Plus your hair's kinda grown on me. Pardon the pun.

CARTER: You'd better go.

Samantha walks to the mirror and Sam turns to Jack.

CARTER: I'll be here in case you need anything from this side, sir.

O'NEILL: All right. On three. One, two, three.

They touch the mirror and are transported to the other side. An alarm is
going off so they move to hide quickly. The sounds of Jaffa troops are
heard. Jack looks back and still sees Sam on the other side of the mirror.
He makes a slashing movement indicating Daniel should switch the mirror off.
Daniel mouths he shouldn't do that but Jack mouths back that he should
'switch it off'. Daniel switches off the mirror.
The team waits for the Jaffa to go past but one returns to look into the
storage room. He then walks off. Jack gives the team some hand signals and
he and Kawalsky move out following the Jaffa. As they go we see the SGC has
been trashed. They reach the Gateroom door and we see Jaffa lined up behind
EvilTeal'c.

EVIL TEAL'C: Jaffa!

They bow to their knees as the Stargate disengages. Apophis walks down the
ramp with two Serpent Guards. Evil Teal'c bows his head and Apophis walks
off.

EVIL TEAL'C: Jaffa!

They rise again. Meanwhile in the corridor, Jack signals Kawalsky to
retreat.

EVIL TEAL'C: Kree!

The Jaffa start to move out. Jack and Kawalsky wait a little way in the
opposite direction and Jack throws a metallic object. Evil Teal'c turns his
head at the sound.

EVIL TEAL'C: Lonok.

Jack and Kawalsky move and Evil Teal'c starts to follow.

EVIL TEAL'C: Kronok, Jaffa!

Evil Teal'c sees Jack and starts to run after him.

EVIL TEAL'C: Jaffa! Kree! Jaffa!

He reaches the open door of the storage room and raises his staff weapon. He
slowly enters and comes face to face with.. Himself.

TEAL'C: Kel nok Teal'c.

EVIL TEAL'C: Kel shak?

TEAL'C: Renounce Apophis as a false God and join us in our deliverance of
this world and I will spare you.

EVIL TEAL'C: Shol'va!

The end of his staff weapon glows but Teal'c is quicker and shoots him dead.

O'NEILL: The idea was to zat him.

TEAL'C: As I said O'Neill. Ours is the only reality of consequence.

Scene: AU SGC Corridor.

Some more Jaffa approach the storage room. Samantha comes out with Teal'c
posing as Evil Teal'c.

TEAL'C: Jaffa. Kree!

He shuts the door behind him.

TEAL'C: Kel toc no.

Samantha is led away.

Scene: AU SGC storage room

Jack signals Kawalsky to watch the door and he goes over to Daniel who is
trying to find his/our reality.

O'NEILL: All right. I gotta know.

DANIEL: Yes, I'm about to activate it.

O'NEILL: No, no, no. Not that. What the hell does Kree mean?

DANIEL: Well, actually, it means a lot of things. Uh, loosely translated it
means "attention,"  "listen up," "concentrate."

O'NEILL: Yoo-hoo?

DANIEL: Yes, in a manner of speaking.

O'NEILL: Oh.

DANIEL: Okay, here goes.

He switches the device on and doesn't get the reality he just came from.

DANIEL: That's what I was afraid of. When I turned off the device, it lost
it's place. I have to find our reality all over again.

O'NEILL: All right. It's okay. We knew that might happen. Stay with it.

Daniel keeps turning the remote while Jack and Kawalsky move out again
shutting the door behind them.

Jack and Kawalsky move down the hallways until they reach a panel on the
wall. Jack keeps watch while Kawalsky puts explosives down between the wall
and panel edge. They move away slightly and Jack detonates it. Jack checks
inside after it's blown and they start to climb the steps inside.

Scene: AU Control Room.

Apophis and Jaffa are torturing AU Hammond for information.

APOPHIS: I will ask you this one more time, human. What is the address of
the planet to which your leaders have fled? The place you call "beta site".

One of the Jaffa strikes AU Hammond on the back with a pain stick and he
cries out.

AU HAMMOND: Aaarrghhh!!

APOPHIS: Where have your leaders gone?

Teal'c arrives with Samantha.

TEAL'C: Kel Apophis.

APOPHIS: Teal'c. Who is this?

TEAL'C: She was captured attempting a escape, my lord.

APOPHIS: This one will not tell us the glyphs for the planet where they've
sent their leaders. Get it out of him. Or get it out of her.

TEAL'C: Yes, my lord.

Apophis leaves with two Serpent Guards.

Teal'c is left with two Jaffa.

TEAL'C: Attend to our lord. I will take care of these. Kree Jaffa!

They bow and leave.

AU HAMMOND: You might as well kill me.

TEAL'C: I would never do such a thing General Hammond.

SAMANTHA: It's okay. You're not hallucinating. He's from an alternate
reality.

AU HAMMOND: So that mirror thing worked?

SAMANTHA: Yeah. But don't worry. I won't say "I told you so".

AU HAMMOND: We should have tried it a long time ago Doctor.

As they untie him, Teal'c notices on the monitors that a Goa'uld pyramid
ship is descending over the mountain.

TEAL'C: They have landed on the mountain.

SAMANTHA: There's still a chance we can stop them Sir. We're gonna attempt
to contact a race of aliens that they have in their reality. Enemies of the
Goa'uld.

Scene: AU SGC Corridor..

Jack pushes out a grid in the wall and he and Kawalsky come through. They
pull out zat guns and carry on.

Scene: AU SGC Storage room.

Daniel is still flicking between realities. He comes across one that shows
Jaffa in SGC corridors.

DANIEL: Whoops! Too far.

He flicks between two realities with Jaffa in the SGC and then hits a beach
scene.

DANIEL: Come on, please.

Scene: AU SGC Main power vault.

Jack opens the door to the grid and opens Kawalsky's pack with the Asgard
device in.

KAWALSKY: The Carters are pretty smart figuring that thing out, huh? So you
and Sam, you never had a thing in your world, huh?

O'NEILL: Sam is a Major in my world.

KAWALSKY: Yeah, I know. It's against regulations, right? You two look pretty
good together, let me tell you.

O'NEILL: Kawalsky? During your Special Ops training, in your world, did they
cover silence?

Scene: AU SGC Storage room.

Daniel is still flicking. He suddenly comes across one that has Sam and
other Airmen behind sandbags in another Storage room.

DANIEL: Yes.

In the mirror, Sam moves forward and lowers her weapon. She then beckons to
him to come through. Daniel waves back but then notices that on her fatigues
it says Capt. Carter.

DANIEL: You're a Captain.

He waves back and goes to turn the remote again.

DANIEL: Close.

Scene: AU SGC Control Room.

Samantha is sat at the computer.

SAMANTHA: Okay, now.

Teal'c inserts something into a machine in the background.

SAMANTHA: I hope your Jack is good enough to get the transformer on line.

Scene: AU SGC Main power vault.

Jack plugs the last wires in, switches the generator on and he and Kawalsky
leave.

Scene: AU SGC Control Room.

The Gate starts to dial.

TEAL'C: It appears that he is.

The Gate continues to rotate.

TEAL'C: You must prepare to go through the Gate, Dr Carter.

Samantha gets up and kisses Teal'c on the cheek.

SAMANTHA: Thank you, Teal'c.

The Eighth Chevron locks and the Gate engages.

Hammond puts down his gun and places his hands on his head. Samantha reaches
the Gate room and ducks under a zat blast.

TEAL'C: Jaffa! Kree hol mel! Hol mel Jaffa!

The Jaffa stops and Samantha takes the opportunity to run up the ramp and
dive headlong into the event horizon. The Gate closes.

APOPHIS: Teal'c.

Teal'c turns to see Apophis standing behind him.

APOPHIS: Why do you betray me?

Teal'c stands silently.

Scene: AU SGC Corridor.

Jack and Kawalsky move back towards the storage room. They open the door to
be confronted with 7 Jaffa all pointing staff weapons at them and Daniel,
who is in the middle.

JAFFA: Lower your weapons or we will kill him.

KAWALSKY: Colonel?

O'NEILL: Yeah, we should do that.

One of the Jaffa then discovers Evil Teal'c dead on the floor.

Scene: AU SGC Control Room.

Teal'c, AU Hammond, Jack, Daniel and Kawalsky are lined up on their knees in
front of Apophis.

DANIEL: Déjà vu.

APOPHIS: Who are you? [to Jack] My First Prime killed you before my very
eyes.

O'NEILL: I'm feeling much better, thank you.

APOPHIS: [To Teal'c] Then who are you? What magic is this?

DANIEL: You should know better than anyone, there's no such thing as magic.

APOPHIS: Trey lan tonik.

A Jaffa behind AU Hammond raises his zat gun.

APOPHIS: I will ask you one more time. How could you have risen from the
dead without a sarcophagus?

Apophis nods at the Jaffa and he zats AU Hammond.

O'NEILL: [To Kawalsky] All right, I'm guessin' the second shot kills in this
world too, huh?

APOPHIS: Tell me what I want to know!

O'NEILL: Hey. I'd love to. But I don't understand it myself. He does.
[points at Daniel]

DANIEL: Okay, I'll, uh, I'll give it a try. Um, you see, at every point in
time, there are infinite possibilities. A parallel reality exists for each
possibility so there are literally infinite branches.

The Jaffa zats AU Hammond a second time at Apophis' nod.

KAWALSKY: NO! You..

The Jaffa behind Kawalsky grabs him and restrains him.

O'NEILL: Kawalsky!

APOPHIS: Tell me where you come from.

DANIEL: From an alternate reality.

O'NEILL: One in which, by the way, you're dead.

The Jaffa then zats Daniel.

O'NEILL: Aw come on!

KAWALSKY: He told you everything he knows!

The Jaffa raises his zat again ready to give Daniel the second shot when
another Jaffa runs up the steps.

JAFFA2: My lord. Tel kol, Apophis. Kree no tel, Reenlokia!

He points at the monitor above their heads. The Gate starts to activate and
a blip is seen heading towards the mountain on the screen.

Daniel is helped up by Jack and Kawalsky.

APOPHIS: Mel tok nee!

Most of the Jaffa leave the room except for the Serpent Guards. Apophis
raises his hand with the Ribbon Device on when...

He is beamed out by the Asgard.

O'NEILL: Okay, I'm guessin'.

DANIEL: Asgard.

O'NEILL: All right.

The Gate activates and the Jaffa start to run through it. As the last Jaffa
jumps through, the end of his staff weapon is caught and severed as the
wormhole shuts down.

In the Control Room, Jack, Daniel, Teal'c and Kawalsky see the Goa'uld ship
taking off from the mountain. An Asgard ship is descending. The mountain
shakes and the body of AU Hammond is beamed out.

TEAL'C: It appears Dr Carter was successful.

O'NEILL: Come on. Ya gotta love those guys!

Samantha is then beamed down.

SAMANTHA: I met the Asgard.

O'NEILL: We guessed that.

AU Hammond is suddenly beamed down alive and well. Samantha goes over to
give him a hug and kisses him on the cheek. The Asgard ship then takes off.

O'NEILL: Love those guys.

Scene: AU SGC Storage Room.

Hammond and Sam are waiting on the other side of the mirror while Daniel,
Teal'c and Jack say goodbye to Samantha and Kawalsky.

KAWALSKY: Colonel, it's been a pleasure to serve with you. again.

O'NEILL: Likewise.

KAWALSKY: Right, right.

They salute each other. Kawalsky then turns to salute Teal'c and Daniel.
Samantha moves to stand in front of Jack.

SAMANTHA: This is hard. Goodbye for a second time.

O'NEILL: It's the first time.

SAMANTHA: It doesn't feel that way to me. You have to understand. My Jack
had the same face, same voice, same hands.

O'NEILL: Which brings to mind an obvious question. How could you marry such
a loser?

Samantha smiles and turns to Daniel and Teal'c.

SAMANTHA: Thank you.

DANIEL: You're welcome.

Jack tilts his head to indicate that Teal'c and Daniel should go back
through the mirror. They do so.

Samantha and Jack stare at one another and she moves in to kiss him. The
camera then shows Sam and Hammond through the mirror watching. Sam looks
everywhere else but Samantha and Jack kissing but is then drawn to watch
them.

SAMANTHA: You're really not him, are you?

O'NEILL: No.

SAMANTHA: I just wish...

O'NEILL: Yeah.

Jack walks over to the mirror and touches it. He appears back on the other
side and the mirror goes dark. Samantha looks away from the mirror with
tears running down her cheeks.

Fade out.
