STARGATE SG1
Episode 222
"OUT OF MIND"
By
Jonathan Glassner & Brad Wright
A cryogenic chamber is lifted. A man and woman are overseeing
the procedure
MAN
Begin cryo-reversal.
FEMALE
Beginning reversal. Chamber opening.
The lid is opened and we see Jack inside. He wakes and gasps
for air
FEMALE
It's okay, Colonel O'Neill. You're in
the SGC. You're going to be fine. No,
don't try to speak, Colonel. Give it
some time.
MAN
Welcome back to the land of the living,
Colonel. I'm Major-General Trofsky,
this is Dr. Raleigh.
RALEIGH
Maybe we can try to answer some of the
questions that are weighing heavily
on your mind.
TROFSKY
First of all, I regret to inform you
that everyone on your team - Dr. Daniel
Jackson, Captain Samantha Carter, and
the Jaffa named Teal'c are all deceased.
RALEIGH
As a matter of fact, I imagine everyone
you knew is probably gone now.
TROFSKY
You see, Colonel, the year is now 2077.
Titles
RALEIGH
How are you feeling, Colonel?
JACK
Just confused.
TROFSKY
Understandable. You've been in cryogenic
hibernation for almost 79 years.
JACK
How?
RALEIGH
That's a good question, Colonel. We
were hoping you could tell us.
TROFSKY
You were sent back through the Stargate
already frozen. We're guessing by some
advanced culture. Your CO at the time,
a General Hammond, and a Dr. Fraiser,
felt that to thaw you without the proper
technology would probably kill you.
They put you in a deep freeze until
such time as the technology was developed
to safely revive you.
RALEIGH
Colonel, do you have any idea what happened
to you on that planet?
JACK
No, ma'am. General, I'd prefer not to
answer any more questions. Walk around
a little, get my bearings.
TROFSKY
Of course. Good idea, actually. I'd
be happy to show you the rest of the
facility. You can disconnect him from
these machines for a limited time, can't
you, Doctor?
RALEIGH
About an hour or so. But he needs the
rheumatic infusion in order for his
tissues to recover properly.
TROFSKY
I'll have him back in less than an hour.
Corridor
" SG-14, debriefing in five minutes. Level 6."
TROFSKY
Hasn't changed much?
JACK
There's no place like home. How many
SG teams are there?
TROFSKY
28 here on Earth, another 10 occupying
offworld colonies.
JACK
So we finally did that, huh? Colonized
other planets?
TROFSKY
Affirmative.
JACK
General, what happened to my team?
TROFSKY
They didn't make it.
JACK
I got that. They didn't make it back
through the Gate, didn't survive the
thawing process, what?
TROFSKY
They were sent back, but they were already
dead. I'm sorry, Colonel. It was a long
time ago.
JACK
Maybe for you.
Jack goes into the gateroom
TROFSKY
So, Colonel. Do you have any recollection
of what happened on your last mission?
JACK
I wish I did, sir. I remember intel
suggesting that the planet we were going
to was ruled by a Goa'uld. But I don't
remember anything after we stepped through
that gate.
TROFSKY
Can you think of any reason why the
Goa'uld might have saved your life?
Sent you back?
JACK
Certainly not their M O.
TROFSKY
We feel whoever did help you was able
to beat back the Goa'uld in order to
do so. We'd love to know who could do
that.
JACK
So would I, sir.
TROFSKY
We have a new technology that might
help you remember. We'd like to give
it a try, if you feel up to it.
A team are preparing to go offworld
" SG team 2, prepare for embarkation."
JACK
Sure.
TROFSKY
We'd like to get started right away.
Our outpost planets are at war with
the Goa'uld, and frankly, we're losing.
I'm hoping whoever helped you 79 years
ago can help us now.
Lab
RALEIGH
The technology was given to us by the
Tok'ra.
JACK
We're still friends with them, huh?
TROFSKY
Oh, yes. It's been quite a beneficial
alliance.
JACK
Just not much help in the outpost colonies,
I take it?
TROFSKY
No.
A device is placed on Jacks temple
JACK
Ow! What was that?
RALEIGH
It's okay, Colonel, it's in. That's
all the pain you'll feel.
JACK
What a shame.
RALEIGH
As the Tok'ra explain it, this device
stimulates the memory centers of your
mind and then amplifies it. Sort of
like a capacitor for thoughts. And when
it's hooked up to this device here,
it projects what the mind's eye is seeing
holographically.
JACK
Beautiful.
RALEIGH
Now all you have to do is focus your
thoughts and guide the right memories
to the surface.
JACK
How do I do that?
RALEIGH
We'll lead you through it. It's kind
of like a high tech version of hypnosis.
We've introduced a very light sedative
through those tubes, and you should
be feeling the effects now.
JACK
Oh, yeah.
RALEIGH
Great. Let's get going. Start by concentrating
on what race or culture you can think
of from your travels that might have
the technology to defeat the Goa'uld
and cryogenically suspend you.
JACK
The Nox did.
RALEIGH
Okay, the Nox. Were they medically advanced?
The memories are being conjured up on a screen
JACK
They could revive their dead.
TROFSKY
They could make themselves invisible?
JACK
Not just themselves.
Memory of the Nox
ANTAEUS
Before you go, O'Neill, there is something
I should have you see.
He show's them the city in the sky
ANTAEUS
Fear not.
RALEIGH
Colonel O'Neill, was it the Nox who
sent you here?
JACK
I don't remember.
RALEIGH
Well, they had the technology to make
themselves invisible. Could be a very
powerful weapon against the Goa'uld,
could it not?
JACK
Probably. But they'd never use it in
that manner. The Nox wouldn't even fight
in self-defense.
TROFSKY
Can you think of anyone else who could
have defeated the Goa'uld?
JACK
The Asgard.
Flashback to Thor's Chariot. The Biliskner is descending
JACK
Oh, my.
DANIEL
Ladies and gentlemen, I think this is
Thor's chariot.
TEAL'C
An Asgard mothership. I have heard them
described in Jaffa legend.
Another memory from The Fifth Race. Jack gates to the Asgard
ship
JACK
You're the Asgard. Thor's race. Right?
ASGARD #1
You have heard of us.
JACK
Nothing but good things.
ASGARD #1
We have studied your race closely.
JACK
What did you learn?
ASGARD #2
That your race 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
That's a pretty heady group.
ASGARD #1
Your race has much to prove before we
can interact on that level.
JACK
Look, you all seem to be quite wonderful
people. You folks should understand
that we're out there now. We might not
be ready for a lot of this stuff, but
we're doing the best we can.
ASGARD #2
You have already taken the first step
towards becoming the fifth race.
Present
JACK
They're part of a - an alliance.
Flashback to The Torment Of Tantalus and showing the library
of the Ancients
JACK
What is this place?
DANIEL
I believe this room was some sort of
meeting place where four alien races,
denoted by the symbols and distinctive
writing on the wall, gathered, possibly
to share knowledge or discuss relations
like a United Nations of the stars.
Katherine agrees.'
CATHERINE
You're right. I would have.
JACK
This looks familiar.
EARNEST
Touch it
JACK
Wow
CATHERINE
It's beautiful!
JACK
Daniel? Does this mean anything to you?
DANIEL
Well, if this was a mecca of sorts,
an alien United Nations, this has to
mean something.
JACK
I know this.
CATHERINE
Of course! High school chemistry.
DANIEL
One proton, one electron, hydrogen.
CATHERINE
Beryllium. Sodium.
EARNEST
Silver. Iron. Barium. Xenon.
DANIEL
Of course! How do you ensure universal
communication? You reduce the method
of communication to the most basic elements
ofeveryone and everything that exists
in the universe. Jack, this is a true
universal language.
Back in the present
RALEIGH
He's had enough. Let's let him rest.
TROFSKY
Thank you, Colonel. Good work.
TROFSKY
We'll resume later
The scene is repeated in another room, except for this time it's
Daniel in the chamber
.
TROFSKY
It's okay, Dr. Jackson. You're in the
SGC. You're going to be fine.
Another room
TROFSKY
This one has naquid in her system, so
keep her a little more dosed.
Sam is inside this chamber
TROFSKY
It's okay, Dr. Carter. You're in the
SGC. You're going to be fine.
SAM
SG-1?
RALEIGH
I'm afraid they didn't make it. I'm
sorry.
Sam has the memory device fitted
RALEIGH
How does that feel, Captain?
SAM
It hurts a little.
RALEIGH
Well, it's important that we know who
would have the technology to do this.
SAM
Why?
RALEIGH
Because, Captain Carter, anyone with
that kind of technology would be a valuable
ally against Apophis.
SAM
Apophis? Isn't he dead?
Dr. Raleigh glances up sharply, hesitating.
RALEIGH
Well, of course he is. We're merely
trying to stimulate the region of your
memory that involves doing battle with
the Goa'uld. It might help us in our
current battles.
SAM
Okay, well, we did fight the Goa'uld
a lot.
RALEIGH
Tell me how you defeated Apophis.
Flashback to Serpents Lair and Within The Serpents Grasp
SAM
Well, we gated to what we thought was
their home base, but we ended up on
a Goa'uld mothership.
The team are on the ship
DANIEL
A sarcophagus.
JACK
Oh, great. More snake heads. Teal'c,
any idea which one's in here? Teal'c?
SAM
We're not on a planet, are we?
TEAL'C
That is correct. It appears we are on
a Goa'uld transport vessel.
SAM
And that jolt was...
TEAL'C
Hyperlaunch.
Sam and Daniel go to the glider bay
Time to destroy the shield
BRA'TAC
Shield generators are far below. There,
in the very bowels of the ship.We'll
climb down several decks, through the
length of the ship. Then, taking our
weapons, we must -
Jack drops the grenades
Cut to later. Sam, Jack, Bra'tac and Teal'c climb into the death
gliders, and Apophis and Klorel ring out of the ship
JACK
Our time is up. We have got to go!
Present time
RALEIGH
Very impressive, Captain. The end of
Apophis.
SAM
Well, the beginning of the end, yes.
His forces were so weakened that another
Goa'uld eventually got him.
Daniel has the memory device put on
TROFSKY
So if it wasn't Apophis, what other
Goa'uld could it be?
DANIEL
Well, there seems to be a lot of them.Sokar.
Serpents Song. Sokars face is in the iris
SOKAR
People of the Tau'ri.You have taken
what is mine. For this you will be destroyed.
Present
DANIEL
Heru-ur.
Flashback to Secrets. Jack comes through the gate to find Heru'ur
standing there
HERU-UR
You dare challenge me?
JACK
I was thinking about it!
Jack throws a knife which hits Heru'ur in the hand
HERU-UR
You will pay for this insolence!
Present
DANIEL
And then of course, there was Hathor.
She almost succeeded in doing some pretty
big damage.
Flashback to the episode Hathor. Jack is made into a Jaffa
HATHOR
We must praise you, and gift you a great
honor.
JACK
Yeah, I'm sure that would be just great,
but not right -
HATHOR
Do not worry yourself.You will enjoy
the rich rewards that will come of what
we are giving you. You will cherish
the good health and long life that goes
with being...Hathor's first new Jaffa.
Daniel is sat beside Hathor, who is in the bath
HATHOR
We demand that the woman you call Carter
be brought before us so that we may
gain retribution.
DANIEL
Captain Carter does deserve to be punished,
my queen, but she does not know what
she is doing. I beg of you to show mercy.
HATHOR
She deserves no mercy from us. She will
make amends with her death.
SAM
I don't think so.
Sam is flung against the wall
HATHOR
You have failed us, our love. You will
not fail us again.
Sam jumps up and shoots. A fire erupts
DANIEL
NO!
JACK
Get these airmen out of here! Daniel,
let's go! Move it!
Back to the present
TROFSKY
What's wrong?
DANIEL
Nothing. I just, I really need to know
exactly what happened to my friends.
TROFSKY
As I said, they were sent back through
the Gate. They were already dead. That's
all I know.
DANIEL
What about General Hammond?
TROFSKY
I'm happy to report he lived to a ripe
old age of 93.
DANIEL
So everyone I ever knew basically is
gone.
TROFSKY
I'm afraid so.
Teal'c is in the infirmary, our time
DR. JANET
It's okay! It's okay!You're in the SGC,
Teal'c.
HAMMOND
Good to have you back, Teal'c.
TEAL'C
General Hammond.
JANET
Easy! Easy!
TEAL'C
Where are the rest of SG-1?
HAMMOND
Good question. We were hoping you could
tell us.When you didn't return, we sent
SG teams 3 and 7 after you. We found
you lying next to the Stargate, but
no trace of Colonel O'Neill, Captain
Carter, and Dr. Jackson. We assumed
they were captured.
JANET
You have no memory of this, Teal'c?
TEAL'C
I do. It was a mixture of Horus and
Serpent Guards. A very unusual combination.
HAMMOND
Serving what Goa'uld?
TEAL'C
That I do not know. General Hammond,
I will return to the planet immediately
to search for the answers.
HAMMOND
Can't let you do that, Teal'c.
TEAL'C
General Hammond, I will not remain idle
while my friends may be in danger on
this planet.
JANET
Teal'c, you've been unconscious for
three weeks.
TEAL'C
That is not possible. My symbiote would
have awakened me long before the period
of three weeks.
JANET
You were barely alive, Teal'c. You had
substantial internal injuries.
HAMMOND
Dr. Fraiser spent most of the three
weeks at your side. It was her refusal
to give up that kept you alive.
TEAL'C
I am in your debt, Dr. Fraiser. General
Hammond, permit me to return to this
planet to search for my friends.If their
bodies were not found by my side, then
they are prisoners.
HAMMOND
If they're prisoners, they're long gone
from that planet. We sent out UAV's,
balloons, our best rescue teams... and
found nothing but scorched earth. There
was no trace of them. They could be
moved to any Goa'uld stronghold. You'd
be searching for a needle in a very
large haystack.
TEAL'C
Perhaps. But I must try.
HAMMOND
Teal'c! I understand your desire to
do something, anything, for SG-1. I
feel the same way. But I cannot expend
any more resources on this. I'm sorry.
Request denied.
TEAL'C
If the people of the Tau'ri have given
up hope on SG-1, then it is with great
regret that I must leave this world
and return to my people.
HAMMOND
You mean you want to leave the SGC?
TEAL'C
That is correct.
HAMMOND
I can't let you do that, Teal'c. I won't
let you.
TEAL'C
General Hammond. I hereby respectfully
inform you that I must take my leave
of the SGC. (removing his jacket) Therefore,
I am no longer under your command.
HAMMOND
I can't allow you to do that. You're
too great a security risk.
TEAL'C
General Hammond, I would die before
willingly divulging any information
pertaining to this world. You know that.
HAMMOND
Yes, I do.
TEAL'C
I will depart in one hour.
Back in the future SGC, Jack is pretending to be sleeping
"Tel ma'ki. Mak'tel ah!"
RALEIGH
Rok cri'no, mak'tau!
The two leave the room and Jack takes the opportunity to disconnect
the tubing from his body. When another man leans over to chck
on him, he knocks him unconscious and begins to remove the mans
uniform
Real SGC
" Chevron 4, engaged."
Teal'c is in the gateroom, waiting to leave
SOLDIER
Ten-hut!
INTERCOM
Chevron 5, engaged.
Teal'c speaks with Hammond
HAMMOND
Teal'c, you will be missed.
TEAL'C
I have learned much from you, General
Hammond. And I thank you.
" Chevron 6, engaged."
HAMMOND
I've learned a lot from you, too, Teal'c.
So we're even on that account.
" Chevron 7 is locked."
HAMMOND
Take care of yourself.
Teal'c goes through the gate
HAMMOND
At ease.
Back in the futuristic SGC, Jack put's on the uniform and goes
through the hallways. He goes into an elevator, but it turns
out to be a doorway leading to what is obviously a Goa'uld base.
Some Jaffa can be seen and he hides behind a pillar. He carries
on, when they leave, and the memory device is triggered, giving
him a flashback of the Serpents Lair. He carries on and eventually
reaches the room that Sam is in. He hit's a man that's in there
and tries to wake her
JACK
Carter? Carter.
He takes out the tubes and she slowly wakes up
JACK
Carter.
SAM
I thought you were dead.
There is another flashback to Message In A Bottle. The spears
fly out of the orb and pin Jack up against the wall
SAM
Get out of there!
JACK
Agghh!
SAM
Colonel!
SAM
It goes right through his shoulder into
the concrete.
Jack disconnects the tubes and the flashback ends
SAM
Whoa.
JACK
Yeah. These things have a nasty habit
of going off when you least expect it.
Try not to think too much.
SAM
They said ....
JACK
They're Goa'uld, Carter.
SAM
Daniel? Teal'c?
JACK
Don't know yet. Think you can walk?
SAM
Drugs must have prevented me from sensing
the naquada in them.
Jack is uncomfortable, because she is naked and he can see her
back
JACK
Trade clothes with that guy.
They go out into the hallway
SAM
Sure looks like the SGC.
They find themselves in the Goa'uld part of the base
SAM
Wow. This looks just like..
JACK
Don't think about it! You'll set that
thing off.
She has a flashback. Jack put's his hand over her mouth and they
hide behind a wall
SAM
Can't we take these things off?
JACK
I don't know, you tell me. Mine's in
pretty deep.
SAM
Yeah. Pulling them out could cause some
nasty collateral damage.
JACK
Yeah, we don't want that.What the hell?
They find Daniel
JACK
Daniel. Daniel!
Daniel wakes up
DANIEL
I don't understand. They said -
SAM
They're Goa'uld, Daniel.
DANIEL
What year is it?
SAM
1999, most likely.
DANIEL
So this is all a hoax.
JACK
Big hoax. I'd say so.
DANIEL
I have more questions, but that can
wait.
JACK
Yeah. Come on.
They leave the room
JACK
Damn cost-cutting.
SAM
This facade is obviously part of a bigger
Goa'uld facility. Complete with Horus
and Serpent Guards.
DANIEL
What? Horus and Serpent? That's kind
of an odd alliance, isn't it?
They go into the gateroom and walk up the ramp
DANIEL
I've never seen this place so deserted.
SAM
Guess they figure they don't need to
keep up the act if we're unconscious.
Jack kicks the gate
JACK
It's fake.
DANIEL
I don't understand. Who would have spent
enough time on the base to be able to
reproduce it in this kind of detail?
You don't think Apophis -
VOICE
Silence!
Hathor appears
JACK
Oh, I was so hoping never to see you
again.
Trofsky enters with some guards. Hathor walks over to Daniel
HATHOR
We have indeed missed you, our beloved.
SAM
Daniel, don't let her breathe on you.
HATHOR
Do you think that we would have gone
to these lengths if you were not already
immune to that poison? Do you like our
guards? We managed to lure them from
the remote outposts of our enemies.
Daniel backs away from her
HATHOR
We are quietly building our forces before
the System Lords even know that we are
alive. But doing so is difficult when
we have limited knowledge of the current
state of the Empire.
JACK
Let me take a guess. It's just a wild
guess, but that's where we come in,
right?
SAM
We know more than you do.
HATHOR
Perhaps.We are prepared to offer you
a life of luxury as servants in our
court in exchange for information.
She stands in front of Jack
HATHOR
Deny us, and you will not enjoy the
alternative.
JACK
You know, you really should something
about the breath.
HATHOR
How do we contact the Asgards so that
we might ally with their forces?
JACK
Try Roswell. Little place in New Mexico.
HATHOR
What are the secrets of numbers necessary
to open the barricade protecting your
Stargate?
Sam doesn't answer. Hathor walks back down the ramp
HATHOR
If you will not give us the information
that we desire, we have other means
of retrieving it.
A Jaffa appears
HATHOR
An opportunity has presented itself
at a most fortuitous time.
She put's her hand in his pouch and takes out the symbiote
HATHOR
Our friend here is ready for a host.
Tell us, which one of you shall it be?
