"METAMORPHOSIS"
By
James Tichenor
ELEVATOR
Sam swipes her card and the doors open. Jonas is inside and flirting
with a nurse. She gets out as Sam gets in.
RUSH
I’m sure I’ll see you again.
JONAS
Hey. With any luck I’ll get sick.
The elevator doors close.
CARTER
With any luck, I’ll get sick?
JONAS
Lieutenant Rush is a nurse. She works
in the infirmary.
CARTER
So you were flirting?
The doors open.
JONAS
I’m thinking of asking her out.
CARTER
Then you should.
JONAS
In Kelowna, it’s common for that request
to be passed on by a friend.
CARTER
Oh it is not.
JONAS
You could at least find out for me if
she’d be receptive.
CARTER
Jonas, you are such a chickenshit.
The alarms go off.
DAVIS
Unscheduled off world activation.
They run back the way they came.
CONTROL ROOM
CARTER
Who is it?
DAVIS
The Russian team, Major. And they’re
requesting a medical team.
CARTER
Open the iris. Page General Hammond
and Colonel O’Neill to the Gateroom.
DAVIS
Yes sir.
The iris opens and the Russians come through with a young man.
JONAS
I thought aliens weren’t allowed back
to the SGC without prior permission?
CARTER
They’re not.
GATEROOM
Jack walks in and Sam and Jonas are already there.
O’NEILL
Carter? What’s going on?
CARTER
Colonel Evanov and his team brought
this visitor back with them, Sir.
O’NEILL
Sergei, who the hell’s that?
ALEBRAN
I am Alebran.
EVANOV
Alebran has vital information regarding
the goa’uld Nirrti.
O’NEILL
What about her?
ALEBRAN
She is experimenting on my people. Transforming
us.
EVANOV
I knew you would want to know what Nirrti
was doing to these people. Since it
was you who allowed her to go free.
TITLES
GATEROOM
Hammond and Fraiser walk in.
HAMMOND
Colonel, what’s going on?
O’NEILL
Ol’ Sergei brought this guy back from
367 without authorisation, Sir.
HAMMOND
You’d better have a damn good reason.
EVANOV
General, Sir. Alebran and his people
are innocent victims of the Nirrti.
I felt certain you would wish to act.
ALEBRAN
Colonel Evanov has promised you would
help us.
O’NEILL
Has he now?
FRAISER
Are you in pain?
ALEBRAN
It is nothing that I cannot endure.
Please, I must know if you will help
my people.
FRAISER
Sir, with your permission, I’d like
to take him to isolation room 3.
HAMMOND
Very well.
FRAISER
Come with me.
ISOLATION ROOM 3
Everyone is round the bed.
EVANOV
We found him near the Stargate after
we performed a recon of Nirrti’s fortress.
Or I should say, he found us. Alebran
has asked for our help to save his people
being held prisoner inside.
ALEBRAN
I thought that she was helping us. Then
I saw one of my people die in such a
horrible way I realised... When I questioned
her methods, she released me.
JONAS
She let you go.
ALEBRAN
I was well enough to return home she
said. When I arrived back in the village,
everyone was dead. She lied to us. Those
of us she took away, we were the last
of our people. She was using us.
O’NEILL
You look okay to me.
ALBRAN
Please, do not be fooled by my appearance.
I spent just as much time within the
machine as the others. I know that I
have been changed inside; I am not like
I was before.
CARTER
What kind of machine?
ALEBRAN
It’s one that sees inside of us. It
allows her to manipulate that which
we are made of.
FRAISER
If he’s talking about some sort of machine
that can directly alter human DNA in
real time...
TEAL’C
You believe Nirrti is attempting to
create a hok’taur.
EVANOV
I am not familiar with that term.
JONAS
It means advanced human.
TEAL’C
Nirrti is most interested in creating
the perfect human host in order to increase
her power.
O’NEILL
So, she’s at it again.
CARTER
No, Sir. This is worse.
FRAISER
Sam’s right. Up till now, Nirrti’s been
using eugenics. Like with Cassandra’s
people, selectively breeding only those
that demonstrated specific genetic attributes.
CARTER
With a machine that can alter DNA and
a population with which to experiment,
Nirrti could create a new host or even
alter the DNA of her current one.
FRAISER
A Goa’uld with the powers of a hok’taur.
JONAS
Obviously we can’t let that happen.
EVANOV
As you know, Nirrti does not have the
power and resources of the other Goa’uld.
She has only a small number of jaffa
in her service. I believe her capture
or if necessary her assassination is
quite possible.
O’NEILL
Sir?
HAMMOND
Agreed.
O’NEILL
Can you get us in that fortress?
ALEBRAN
No. I cannot go back.
HAMMOND
We’re offering to help your people Alebran.
ALEBRAN
No, there is no time. I feel it, something’s
happening.
EVANOV
Alebran believes Nirrti has the power
to kill him even here.
JONAS
Well what if she does?
CARTER
Cassandra.
FRAISER
General, we need to find out if Alebran
has a device similar to the one Nirrti
placed in Cassandra.
O’NEILL
You mean like a bomb?
HAMMOND
Go.
FRAISER
Let’s get him into x-ray. Let’s move.
ALEBRAN
No, it’s too late.
FRAISER
Breathe deeply. Let’s go. Take it easy.
They wheel him out.
EVANOV
What is happening?
CARTER
Several years ago, Nirrti placed a naquadah
device inside a young girl in order
to destroy the SGC.
EVANOV
My team can take him back through the
Stargate.
CARTER
No. These devices are designed to detonate
in close proximity to the Stargate.
ALBRAN
You have to kill me.
FRAISER
Just take it easy.
ALEBRAN
Kill me. Kill me now!
FRAISER
Give him a sedative. 2cc’s valium.
ALEBRAN
Please someone tell me what is happening?
FRAISER
Alebran, we need to take a chest x-ray.
ALEBRAN
No!
FRAISER
Get him down.
ALEBRAN
No! Please kill me! Arrggghh!
He starts spitting up water.
FRAISER
Everybody get back!
Jack grabs a gun off an SF and Alebran stops breathing and disintegrates
into nothing. Water cascades off the trolley.
EVANOV
(Not sure what he says here)
JONAS
What happened?
Janet just looks at him.
HAMMOND
This is Hammond. I want a hazmat team
to Level 22 elevators immediately.
FRAISER
It’s like every cell in his body just
broke down.
CARTER
Nirrti must have written some kind of
time delay right into his DNA.
FRAISER
There’s nothing we could have done,
Sir.
CORRIDOR
Hammond is walking along with Jack and Evanov.
HAMMOND
Colonel, how soon can your team be ready?
O’NEILL
Right away, Sir. I’d like to take SG3
with me as back up.
HAMMOND
Very well.
EVANOV
Allow my team to join SG1, General.
O’NEILL
I don’t think so, Sergei.
HAMMOND
Not so fast Colonel.
O’NEILL
Sir?
HAMMOND
Lieutenant Colonel Evanov’s team has
gathered valuable intelligence that
could be useful to you.
EVANOV
My team has scouted the entire area.
I can get you right inside Nirrti’s
fortress.
O’NEILL
Fine. Get geared up.
Evanov salutes.
EVANOV
Thank you.
He walks off.
O’NEILL
General.
HAMMOND
Like it or not a Russian team is operating
out of the SGC. I’ve been asked to integrate
them more fully into our own operations.
O’NEILL
Does it have to be with my team?
HAMMOND
Lieutenant Colonel Evanov is a fine
officer. I’m sure you’ll agree. You’ll
be in command.
O’NEILL
Yes sir. I’ll remind him of that.
ALEBRAN’S PLANET
SG1 and the Russian team come through the Gate.
EVANOV
So this is the path leading to the fortress.
Guarded by jaffa.
O’NEILL
Not many.
EVANOV
Only ten.
O’NEILL
All right. Evanov, you’re with us.
EVANOV
(Not sure what he says here, it’s Russian)
The rest of his team stay at the Gate.
FOREST
Jack and Teal’c lead the way up an incline, followed by Evanov,
Carter and Jonas. They stop and see jaffa.
CARTER
They’re well positioned.
O’NEILL
We’re gonna need a diversion. Carter,
Jonas, that’s you.
They move out. Sam plants some C4 under the wall the jaffa are
defending as does Jonas. Teal’c and Evanov move through the undergrowth.
Sam detonates the explosives. The jaffa move to plain sight at
the front of the wall. The team starts firing.
JAFFA
Kree Jaffa!
The jaffa guarding one of the big weapons is taken out by Teal’c
and he takes over firing at the jaffa.
One jaffa tries to run.
EVANOV
Colonel! (Over his radio)
O’NEILL
I got him.
Jack takes him out with a single shot.
O’NEILL
Evanov, stay out here for now. Watch
our six. (Over radio)
EVANOV
Yes sir.
NIRRTI’S FORTRESS
SG1 move in stealthily and Sam comes across four men.
CARTER
Colonel.
WODEN
Please, don’t hurt us.
JONAS
We’re not here to hurt anyone. We’ve
come here to rescue you. Take you from
this place.
WODEN
No, no, we cannot leave.
O’NEILL
One step at a time, Jonas. Where’s Nirrti?
WODEN
She is not here.
CARTER
Are you expecting her back?
WODEN
Of course. For our treatment.
JONAS
My name is Jonas.
WODEN
I am Woden.
He lowers his hood and we see he has been mutated and has an
eye on the side of his head.
JONAS
We’ve come from a place called Earth.
To help, all of you.
WODEN
That is not necessary. Nirrti is helping
us.
O’NEILL
Excuse me?
WODEN
She cares for us. Nirrti is our God.
TEAL’C
Nirrti is of a race called the Goa’uld.
CARTER
They’re parasitical beings that use
our kind as hosts.
WODEN
We are very ill. Nirrti is curing us
of our sickness.
TEAL’C
That is most unlikely.
WODEN
When the God Nirrti came, a great plague
had befallen our people. We were dying.
With the machine, Nirrti has kept us
alive.
O’NEILL
(To Carter) Check it out. (To Woden)
Don’t take this wrong friend, if this
is cured....
WODEN
My brother Alebran once looked as I
do now. In time she will make him whole
again.
O’NEILL
Alebran you say?
TEAL’C
Your brother is dead.
WODEN
Nirrti allowed him to return to our
village.
JONAS
There’s no one left alive at your village.
Alebran told us himself.
WODEN
Whh....
O’NEILL
Might have been a different Alebran.
It’s a popular name. The point is, we
need to know when and where Nirrti’s
coming back
EGAR
Very soon. And when she comes she will
punish you.
JONAS
Your people were never sick. Nirrti’s
been lying to you.
WODEN
No. No, the plague ravaged our people
long before she came. Our village was
almost wiped out.
TEAL’C
It is possible she discovered them in
this condition and took advantage of
their situation.
EGAR
She brought me to this place. She gave
me back my life.
CARTER
You said Nirrti would be returning for
your treatments? What would happen if
you didn’t get them?
WODEN
We would die.
EGAR
We must receive treatment by tomorrow.
CARTER
Their mutations might be unstable.
JONAS
So what happened to Alebran will most
likely happen to them too if they don’t
go back in that machine.
CARTER
Sir, this is an incredibly advanced
piece of technology. My guess is that
it was built by the Ancients.
O’NEILL
Can you figure it out?
CARTER
Not by tomorrow. Maybe with a few days
and a lot of help. We’re gonna need
Nirrti, Sir.
O’NEILL
Yeah. Figure out what you can. I’m gonna
go brief Evanov. Jonas, Teal’c, take
these fine folks somewhere where they
can be comfortable for a while.
EGAR
He intends to kill her.
O’NEILL
What?
EGAR
You are planning to kill Nirrti.
WODEN
Are you certain, Egar?
EGAR
Yes, even now...
O’NEILL
No. First I intend to ask her in the
nicest possible way to undo what she’s
done to you folks. You’re just gonna
have to trust me. We came here to help
you.
WODEN
Only because you believe you are responsible
for what has happened to us.
O’NEILL
Do what you can. (To Carter)
OUTSIDE THE FORTRESS
Jack walks up to Evanov.
EVANOV
Colonel.
O’NEILL
Nirrti’s not home.
EVANOV
She must have left while we were on
Earth.
O’NEILL
Well apparently she’s coming back. I
want to set up an ambush.
EVANOV
I will inform my men.
O’NEILL
Your team will be our back up. And we
have to take her alive. Right now she’s
the only one who knows how to run that
machine in there.
EVANOV
Very well.
O’NEILL
By the way, did you talk to any of the
people in there other than Alebran?
EVANOV
No. Why?
O’NEILL
Probably nothing. I’ll relieve you in
two hours.
UNDERGROUND CAGES
Woden and Egar lead Teal’c and Jonas down some steps to a sort
of living area.
JONAS
This is where you sleep?
WODEN
Yes.
He then raises his hand and the bars to a cage rise up.
JONAS
How did you..?
EGAR
We cannot allow you to harm Nirrti.
TEAL’C
We have no quarrel with your people.
But I must insist you enter this cage.
Woden motions towards Teal’c and Jonas and their weapons fly
out of their hands. They go for their side arms and he does the
same to them. They try to rush him and he holds them back. He
then knocks them to the floor and pushes them into the cages.
WODEN
And I must insist the same of you.
He lowers the bars and rips their radios off.
JONAS
Woden, you’re making a mistake.
WODEN
No, it is you who has made the mistake,
Jonas. She is coming.
NIRRTI’S FORTRESS
Sam is looking at the machine.
CARTER
Jonas, I’m already stymied here; I could
really use your help. (On radio) Jonas?
Colonel, Jonas isn’t responding on his
radio.
O’NEILL
Understood. Jonas, Teal’c? Evanov, this
is SG1 niner. Come in. Carter, stay
put, I’m on my way.
CARTER
Yes sir.
Sam moves away from the machine. She hears the rings come up
and zats the two jaffa who have ringed in. She goes over to them
and picks up one’s zat gun and is zatted herself. Nirrti then
appears.
Jack comes round the corner, P90 raised. He sees Nirrti holding
an unconscious Sam with a zat to her head.
NIRRTI
I’m sure you’re aware that a second
shot from this weapon will kill.
O’NEILL
This weapon kills on the first shot.
NIRRTI
Then why haven’t you already fired?
O’NEILL
Because I need you alive.
NIRRTI
You?
O’NEILL
Yeah I know, it’s kinda hard to believe.
But I need you to help these people.
NIRRTI
I am helping them.
O’NEILL
Yeah, I can see that.
NIRRTI
Appearances can be deceiving, Colonel
O’Neill.
One of the jaffa sits up and raises his staff weapon at Jack.
Jack shoots him and the bullet is stopped in mid air by Woden.
It falls to the ground.
NIRRTI
Now, as I said.
O’NEILL
Yeah.
Jack puts down his weapon and Nirrti zats him.
PRISON
Jack is lying on a bed.
O’NEILL
Carter?
CARTER
Sir.
O’NEILL
I really, really don’t like that woman.
CARTER
Yes sir.
TEAL’C
O’Neill.
Jonas just waves.
O’NEILL
This is an unpleasant surprise.
TEAL’C
Indeed.
Jack gets up and checks the bars.
JONAS
Woden’s telekinetic. Took our weapons
right out of our hands just by thinking
it.
TEAL’C
Nirrti is clearly progressing in her
attempt to create a hok’taur.
JONAS
Maybe we’re too late?
CARTER
No, these genetic manipulations are
unstable. She’s not there yet.
JONAS
Egar’s telepathic. He did know Colonel
O’Neill intended on killing Nirrti.
O’NEILL
That was not my intention.
CARTER
Who knows what abilities these others
possess? I mean, enhanced senses, superhuman
strength.
Jack gets up and talks to the other prisoners.
O’NEILL
Hey folks, how you doing? Jack O’Neill,
Earth. Listen; originally we came here
to rescue you. But as you can see we’ve
run into a bit of a snag. So if any
of you can bend steel with your bare
hands or happen to be more powerful
than a locomotive, just raise your hand.
Identify yourselves. Let us know where
you are.
Everyone ignores him and walks off.
JONAS
Must not know what a locomotive is.
Woden and Egar come in with Evanov.
O’NEILL
Woodman, buddy. Listen, I think we’re
dealing with a bit of a misunderstanding
here.
CARTER
Do you really think Nirrti will keep
you alive with these powers after she’s
finished her experiments? She’s using
you.
They throw Evanov in Jack and Sam’s cell. They drag him to a
bed.
O’NEILL
What’d she do to him?
WODEN
You are next. (pointing at Sam)
O’NEILL
Ah, I think I’m next.
WODEN
Nirrti has asked for this one.
O’NEILL
And I’m asking for you to take me instead...
WODEN
No!
He pushes Jack back.
O’NEILL
All right look. If you really can see
in my mind, you know we came here to
help you.
EGAR
I did sense that when you first arrived.
But when I looked deeper into our mind
I realised you would sacrifice us all
if necessary to destroy Nirrti.
O’NEILL
That’s not true.
EGAR
You cannot lie to me. Come!
CARTER
At least I’ll find out how the machine
works.
Woden lowers the bars.
NIRRTI’S CHAMBER
NIRRTI
Major Carter. I am pleased to have such
an excellent subject. I might even consider
you for my new host.
CARTER
Over my dead body.
NIRRTI
True, that is far more likely. Now,
step inside.
Sam steps onto the machine. Nirrti activates and it looks like
DNA strands swirling round Sam.
NIRRTI
Now, let’s see what you’re made of.
Sam looks in pain.
PRISON
Jonas is pacing, Jack and Teal’c are sitting down.
EVANOV
Colonel. I’m sorry. I should never have
allowed myself to be captured.
O’NEILL
Did you get a message off to your team?
EVANOV
I tried. But my radio..
O’NEILL
Yanked right out of your hand?
EVANOV
Yes. And at the same moment I was struck
by a zat’nik’tel that appeared from
nowhere. My team would follow their
standing orders to return to base if
we were out of contact for this long.
TEAL’C
Perhaps General Hammond will send reinforcements?
O’NEILL
Hopefully it won’t come to that. What
they do to you up there?
EVANOV
I don’t know for how long I was in the
machine for what she did but something
is different.
O’NEILL
We’ll get out of this.
EVANOV
Where is Major Carter?
NIRRTI’S CHAMBER
Sam is still in the machine. Nirrti switches it off and Sam collapses.
Egar catches her.
NIRRTI
Enough. She has served her purpose.
Bring me the one called Jonas.
They drag Sam off.
PRISON
Woden and Egar bring Sam back and lift the bars. They shove Sam
in where Jack catches her.
O’NEILL
Carter. Come on.
They lower the bars and walk round to Jonas. Jack lays Sam on
the bed.
O’NEILL
Hey fellas! Want to do me a favour.
Go on back, let her know that I’m next,
you should pick me.
WODEN
Her will is my command.
O’NEILL
Yeah, well, there’s your mistake right
there.
Woden raises the bars of Jonas’ cell. Teal’c appears to be kel’no’reeming.
EGAR
Jonas.
Jonas walks out and rushes Egar. Teal’c jumps up and goes for
Woden. Woden manages to lower the bars and throws Teal’c backwards.
Jonas lifts his fist to hit Egar and Woden stops him.
JONAS
You didn’t see that coming, did you?
Woden throws Jonas down.
WODEN
Do not attempt that again.
They take Jonas away. Jack sits next to Sam.
O’NEILL
Carter?
CARTER
Sir.
O’NEILL
You made it through. You’re gonna be
all right.
CARTER
No sir, I don’t think I am.
NIRRTI’S CHAMBER
Jonas walks in.
NIRRTI
We have not met.
JONAS
No, but I have heard a lot about you.
Nirrti looks at Egar. He lowers his eyes.
NIRRTI
You are not human.
JONAS
I’m human. I’m just not from Earth.
A Goa’uld like yourself took my ancestors
from Earth thousands of years ago and
enslaved them.
NIRRTI
Sadly it was not I.
She activates the machine. Jonas does not look in pain.
NIRRTI
Those few thousand years on another
world have changed you more than you
know.
PRISON
Evanov is coughing.
CARTER
You in pain?
EVANOV
Something is happening. I can feel it.
Is there water?
O’NEILL
We’ll ask.
CARTER
Try to rest.
Sam sits up.
TEAL’C
I have been attempting to communicate
with the other prisoners. But they also
believe Nirrti is a God. They will not
listen.
O’NEILL
He’s in pretty bad shape.
TEAL’C
He appears to be suffering the same
symptoms as Alebran.
O’NEILL
We got to get to that guy... what’s his
name?
TEAL’C
Woden.
O’NEILL
No the other one.
CARTER
Egar.
O’NEILL
Yeah. I mean if he can read my mind,
why can’t he read Nirrti’s?
CARTER
He can’t read minds all the time or
he would have known Jonas was gonna
jump him.
TEAL’C
Perhaps he is afraid to look into the
mind of one he perceives as a God.
Sam winces in pain.
O’NEILL
What?
CARTER
Nothing, I’m fine.
O’NEILL
Get some rest. That’s an order.
Sam looks at Teal’c, who nods and turns away. Sam then puts her
head on Jack’s shoulder.
They then hear Evanov spitting up water. They turn to see him
turn to water.
NIRRTI’S FORTRESS.
Jonas appears to be asleep. He wakes up.
JONAS
Why did you bring me here?
NIRRTI
Because you are different.
JONAS
How’s that?
NIRRTI
You are much closer than the others.
With my help you could complete the
transformation.
JONAS
And end up looking like those others?
NIRRTI
No. I assure you. You must know, that
you are capable of much more than the
petty tasks that life among the Tau’ri
can offer.
JONAS
I like my life the way it is.
NIRRTI
I could make you more powerful than
you could imagine. Powers you have seen
in Woden and the others. Only a fraction
of what I could give you.
JONAS
Well that is definitely the most interesting
offer I’ve had in a very long time.
But you can’t risk giving me those kind
of powers unless you’re certain I won’t
use them against you.
NIRRTI
Once I share those powers we could rule
the galaxy together.
JONAS
What about everyone else?
NIRRTI
They are not necessary.
JONAS
Well, I can only imagine what it would
be like to have powers like that. What
would I do? I guess the first thing
I would do would be to free my friends
and all those other people you have
caged up down there. And then I would
destroy you. Not necessarily in that
order but you get the idea.
Nirrti throws him off the bed.
NIRRTI
Take him away and bring O’Neill. Once
you have seen what has already happened
to the others perhaps you will change
your mind.
Her eyes glow.
PRISON
Jonas is brought back.
JONAS
Evanov?
O’NEILL
Dead. Just like Alebran. Yeah that’s
right, Nirrti killed your brother. Go
ahead; take a look in my mind if you
don’t believe me. Better yet, look into
Nirrti’s head.
EGAR
That is forbidden.
O’NEILL
No kidding.
JONAS
Because she’s hiding something
EGAR
She is a God. She would know.
TEAL’C
She would not know because she is not
a God.
Woden raises the bars on Jack and Sam’s cage.
WODEN
O’Neill is next.
O’NEILL
Look, she just killed a good man. She’s
gonna do the same thing to the rest
of us.
JONAS
Together you’re stronger than she is,
you just don’t realise it.
Woden pulls Jack towards the bars and lowers them after he has
walked through.
CORRIDOR IN NIRRTI’S FORTRESS
Jack is walking ahead.
O’NEILL
You know, you’re right. I did want to
kill her. But if you’d look into her
mind for a split second, you’d want
to do the same thing for what she’s
done to your people.
Jack walk into the main chamber.
NIRRTI
You should not have come here O’Neill.
O’NEILL
Can you undo what you’ve done to Carter?
NIRRTI
If I choose to.
O’NEILL
I let you go once. We made a deal, I
honoured it.
NIRRTI
I told you then I would not have done
the same.
O’NEILL
Fix what you’ve done to Carter, let
the rest of my team go, that’s all I
ask. You can do whatever you want to
me.
NIRRTI
Yes, Colonel. I can.
She activates the machine. Jack looks at Egar. Egar reads Nirrti’s
mind.
EGAR
Stop! What he says is true.
WODEN
My brother?
EGAR
She murdered him. She has murdered hundreds
of our people. And she intends to do
the same to us.
NIRRTI
Jaffa, kree!
The jaffa raise their staff weapons but Woden motions them away
and kills the jaffa.
NIRRTI
I command you!
Woden lifts Nirrti off the ground as if he has his hands round
her neck.
NIRRTI
Woden..
O’NEILL
Stop.
NIRRTI
I am your God.
O’NEILL
We need her alive. Woden, she’s the
only one who can help your people.
NIRRTI
I can make you more powerful than your
wildest dreams.
Woden snaps her neck and her eyes glow as the symbiote dies.
O’NEILL
Why did you do that?
WODEN
She deserves to die.
O’NEILL
She was Carter’s only chance.
EGAR
Not so O’Neill. Before she died, I looked
into Nirrti’s mind and took what I needed.
Hurry, while there is still time.
PRISON
Woden lifts the bars on Teal’c and Jonas’ cage and then on Sam’s.
Jack runs in to Sam who looks very wet.
CARTER
Sir.
Jack picks her up.
MACHINE CHAMBER
Sam is in the machine. It switches off.
EGAR
It is done. You are as you were before.
CARTER
Thank you
Jack goes to help Sam off the platform.
O’NEILL
Yes, thank you.
WODEN
We can all be as we were before now
that you have shown us the truth.
O’NEILL
Hail Dorothy. The Wicked Witch is dead.
(off their looks) It’s a movie, Margaret
Hamilton.
CARTER
Point is, with Nirrti gone you can get
back to your lives, rebuild your village.
JONAS
We can help you out with food and supplies,
get you back on track.
CARTER
Once we get to know each other a little
better, I’d really like a chance to
study this machine.
WODEN
As soon as we have made our people whole
again, we intend to destroy it.
CARTER
But this is an incredibly advanced piece
of technology.
O’NEILL
Carter, don’t you think it would be
for the best?
CARTER
Yes, sir. I guess it would.
O’NEILL
To Oz. (Off their looks) Part of that
movie.
SG1 walk off and Woden enters the machine. Egar activates it
to restore Woden.
