STARGATE SG1
Episode 301
"INTO THE FIRE"
By
Brad Wright
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.
THE END
