STARGATE SG1
Episode 518
"THE WARRIOR"
By
Peter DeLuise
OFFWORLD
A man is standing talking to a large crowd of what looks like
Jaffa.
KYTANO
My name is Kytano. The once First Prime
of Imhotep. A false God. A false God
who has died by my own hand. Now I am
free. I am a free Jaffa. If you have
come to this place, then you wish to
know freedom as I do. If you have come
to hear me, then you know in your heart
and your mind that the Goa'uld are not
gods.
ALL
Yeah!
KYTANO
Still, I am but one warrior. Only together,
we are an army of warriors
MAN
An army has weapons. An army has food.
(This sounds suspiciously like Peter
DeLuise)
KYTANO
In time we shall have weapons and enough
food and drink to sustain us for as
long as it takes to achieve victory.
Until then, we have our freedom. We
have our brother and sisters. I do not
say that this will be easy. There will
be sacrifice. But for each of you who
dies in the name of freedom, your souls
will be sent to Kheb. The place of freedom
everlasting. Until then, if you seek
freedom, if you seek sanctuary, know
that this place is sanctuary. This is
Kelmar.
ALL
Yeah!!
KYTANO
I declare this world a free world for
all jaffa. Let no Goa'uld challenge
us. The time has come for jaffa to claim
their rightful place among the stars.
As warriors who live and as warriors
who die free!
We then see Teal'c and Bra'tac in the crowd in ceremonial robes.
BRA'TAC
What say you Teal'c? Is he not the means
of our deliverance?
TITLES
BRIEFING ROOM
Teal'c and Bra'tac are in ceremonial robes. The rest of SG1 and
Hammond are sat around the table.
O'NEILL
Deliverance? Do you have any idea what
happened to the guys in that movie?
BRA'TAC
I do not.
HAMMOND
Master Bra'tac, that's a very strong
recommendation.
BRA'TAC
Yet the rewards of such an alliance
would be great.
HAMMOND
Teal'c?
TEAL'C
Many of our allies have fallen General
Hammond. The Tollan may be gone forever.
The Tok'ra are severely weakened. Kytano
offers an army.
CARTER
An army that needs our help.
TEAL'C
Major Carter, have the jaffa not helped
your cause?
CARTER
Teal'c, please don't misunderstand me.
You and Bra'tac have done more for us
than anyone could have asked. I owe
you both my life at least a dozen times
over, that's not what I'm saying.
O'NEILL What she's saying is, if this guys coming to us, he's
gotta be pretty desperate.
DANIEL
Wait a minute. I don't think we should
underestimate this opportunity. An army
of jaffa actually challenging the power
structure of the Goa'uld. It could be
an inspiration to every jaffa out there.
Word of it's very existence is a threat
to the Goa'uld.
CARTER
You don't think the Goa'uld are just
going to sit around and let it happen?
TEAL'C
We do not. Which makes Kytano's need
so great.
BRA'TAC
His army has grown from many different
System Lords. And more flock to him
with each raid he makes. But an army
cannot live on courage alone.
HAMMOND
Dr Jackson, what can you tell us about
this Imhotep? This is the first I've
heard of him.
DANIEL
Well, during the third dynasty of ancient
Egypt, Imhotep was credited as being
the first pyramid builder. He was later
deified amongst the ancient Egyptians
but amongst the Goa'uld as least as
far as I know he never achieved power
of any kind.
HAMMOND
He was never a System Lord?
DANIEL
In fact I think Imhotep was probably
an insignificant Goa'uld from a backwater
planet.
CARTER
Which explains how Kytano's managed
to survive.
O'NEILL
He took out a nobody.
DANIEL
Which probably only buys us some time.
If we don't help, the Goa'uld will eventually
see this as the threat it really is.
BRA'TAC
Imhotep may have been a minor Goa'uld
but Kytano is a great leader of men.
I believe him bold enough to lead his
rebel army to victory over those who
would deny us freedom.
HAMMOND
I've already ordered food and medical
supplies prepared for transport. What
we need to discuss in more detail is
what kind of weapons and how many.
BRA'TAC
Your projectile weapons have proven
to be effective in battle.
O'NEILL
P90's, MP5's, Spaz 12's.
BRA'TAC
For several hundred warriors.
HAMMOND
That may take some doing.
TEAL'C
General Hammond. If we may send a smaller
number of weapons, as a gesture of good
intentions.
O'NEILL
I think we owe these folks. To a point.
HAMMOND
Very well. You have a go.
GATEROOM
The Gate is dialling.
BRA'TAC
O'Neill. Before we leave. You should
know that some of the jaffa you are
about to meet, you may have met before.
In battle.
O'NEILL
Yeah. I thought about that.
BRA'TAC
Jaffa have long memories.
O'NEILL
Well that's all right, because I don't.
That's a joke.
The FRED moves up the ramp.
HAMMOND
Master Bra'tac. Lets hope your faith
in this man is well deserved.
BRA'TAC
I would stake my life on it.
Teal'c and Bra'tac walk up the ramp.
O'NEILL
Ours too, apparently.
Jack follows.
PLANET
SG1 come through the Gate to be met by jaffa.
BRA'TAC
I am Master BRA'TAC of Chulak. I have
come with warriors of the Tau'ri.
Jack drops his backpack. Everyone looks at him.
O'NEILL
Hi guys.
BRA'TAC
Tek ma tek.
DANIEL
(To Jack) It means friends well meant.
He's saying we come in peace.
A jaffa walks forward. He was last seen in The Serpent's Venom
rescuing Teal'c.
TEAL'C
Raknor.
RAKNOR
Teal'c. Tek ma tek. It was Teal'c who
gave me my first taste of freedom. It
is because of you I am here. Tek ma
tay.
DANIEL
Tek ma tay is a greeting of respect.
O'NEILL
Okay.
DANIEL
I'm just saying.
O'NEILL
I don't care.
DANIEL
Okay.
RAKNOR
These are among the great warriors of
the Tau'ri. Daniel Jackson, Major Carter
and their leader Colonel O'Neill. Tek
ma tek.
O'NEILL
Back atcha.
RAKNOR
Back atcha. You have come to speak to
Kytano.
BRA'TAC
We have.
RAKNOR
He is on a mission and will return very
soon. What is this?
TEAL'C
The first shipment of many.
O'NEILL
We brought food, supplies and last,
Carter?
Sam opens the trunk to show P90's.
O'NEILL
Weapons.
The crowd murmurs.
O'NEILL
What?
RAKNOR
Your gesture is appreciated but they
had hoped you would bring staff weapons,
zat'nik'tels, true weapons.
O'NEILL
True weapons?
RAKNOR
It does not matter friend. Come; see
how our numbers are growing
VILLAGE
SG1 walk in past jaffa.
BRA'TAC
You see, O'Neill. These jaffa were once
sworn, mortal enemies. Each serving
different false gods. Now they work
in harmony.
RAKNOR
Our numbers grow with each successful
campaign.
CARTER
And you just trust every new arrival
to your cause? I'm just saying, isn't
it possible that some of these jaffa
are still loyal to their gods and are
acting as spies within your ranks?
BRA'TAC
A warrior of Kytano's experience can
see within the very soul of another
jaffa and know his allegiance.
O'NEILL
Kind of a leap of faith isn't it?
DANIEL
No more than when we trusted Bra'tac
when Teal'c went through the Rite of
Mal'shuraan.
BRA'TAC
I saw into his heart and knew he no
longer worshipped Apophis.
O'NEILL
That's not quite the same, is it?
BRA'TAC
Our ways are different to you, O'Neill.
Accept that.
BRA'TAC, TEAL'C AND RAKNOR WALK ALONG TO SEE JAFFA TRAINING.
SAM, JACK AND DANIEL FOLLOW.
RAKNOR
The discipline is called mustaba. All
of Imhotep's jaffa were required to
master it. And now we require it of
ourselves.
We then see two jaffa training with wooden staff weapons. Two
of them finish and two more take their place.
TEAL'C
Mashak. Training staffs.
RAKNOR
Out of necessity Teal'c. There are not
enough staff weapons for all.
BRA'TAC
You overcommit. (To one of the jaffa)
They stop.
RAKNOR
This young warriors name is Tara'c.
Bra'tac hands his staff to Raknor.
TARA'C
Tek ma tay, master.
BRA'TAC
If you would allow me? Your weapon is
balanced but the warrior is not. When
one overcommits, one becomes vulnerable
to counterattack. When one achieves
balance in combat, one will survive
to achieve balance in life.
RAKNOR
Forgive me master, but Kytano teaches
that one must strike with single-minded
purpose towards victory without regard
for one's survival.
BRA'TAC
Show me.
They fight.
O'NEILL
Hey, easy, easy, easy.
BRA'TAC
Leave them O`Neill.
Tara'c knocks the other jaffa down and prepares to hit him while
he is on the floor.
O'NEILL
Hey!
Jack intervenes.
O'NEILL
What the hell are you doing?
TARA'C
We are training.
O'NEILL
Where I come from, it's called beating
the crap out of each other.
TEAL'C
The boy's symbiote will heal his injuries,
O'Neill.
RAKNOR
Kytano teaches that we must be willing
to die, as he is if we are to be free.
O'NEILL
Well if you all die, you won't have
an army. That's kind of stupid.
TARA'C
Tek ma tay key!
Tara'c moves towards Jack.
O'NEILL
Whoa! Hey, what!
TEAL'C
You insulted our ways O'Neill. He is
challenging you.
TARA'C
Tek ma te.
O'NEILL
Yeah, easy stick boy. All right I'm
just here to help.
MAN
Kytano returns!
Everyone leaves.
O'NEILL
Where you going?
Jack checks his breath and follows.
VILLAGE
A man walks through cheering jaffa.
O'NEILL
You know, we never get this when we
get home. (To Sam)
Kytano stands on a box.
KYTANO
Jaffa. This day, three of our warriors
have fallen in the name of freedom.
They fought fiercely against Zipacna's
forces. And they died bravely. And have
secured a place for themselves in Kheb.
So too have they strengthened our ability
to fight back at the enemy.
A jaffa opens the box they brought back and pulls out zats.
ALL
Yeah!
O'NEILL
True weapons.
KYTANO
Tek mal te'uc.
He shakes Bra'tac's hand.
BRA'TAC
Tek ma tay.
KYTANO
You flatter me Master Bra'tac. Ya re
a roo kek a nak. (To Teal'c) I honour
he who would kill his God. And to his
brethren of the Tau'ri. Slayers of Ra,
Hathor, Setesh, Heru'ur, Sokar, Cronos
and Apophis.
O'NEILL
Well, somebody's been keeping score.
Colonel Jack O'Neill.
KYTANO
A familiar name. Cursed by every Goa'uld.
Imhotep himself declared your days were
numbered.
O'NEILL
Well that's fine. As long as it's a
very big number.
KYTANO
Because of you the armies of these fallen
System Lords now swell the ranks of
our rebellion.
O'NEILL
Tak ma tak Kytano. (Jack looks pleased
with himself for getting the right greeting)
We also offer an alliance.
KYTANOL
Then you are most welcome.
DANIEL We also offer food and supplies for your people.
KYTANO
Glorious.
Cheering.
O'NEILL
And of course, weapons.
The cheering stops.
KYTANO
Earth weapons? Take no offence, my friend,
but your weapons are primitive by comparison.
O'NEILL
Carter, I think a little demonstration
is in order, don't you?
WEAPONS AREA.
There is a area with three logs hanging as targets.
CARTER
This weapon is called a P90. It carries
a 50 round, top loading magazine of
teflon coated ordinance with a cyclical
rate of fire of 900 rounds per minute.
O'NEILL Who here can handle a staff weapon?
KYTANO
Raknor is among our best marksmen.
O'NEILL
Carter, that target, what, sixty, seventy
yards out?
CARTER
Give or take, Sir.
O'NEILL
Fire away, son.
Raknor goes to fire. He fires three times and hits the hanging
log on the first and third go.
KYTANO
Well done. Tai, kree.
O'NEILL
Two out of three, that's not bad. Carter?
KYTANO
The female?
TEAL'C
Major Carter is a formidable warrior.
KYTANO
Yes, of course.
O'NEILL
Actually, hold up a second. Hey, you.
In the skirt. Get that target swinging
a little. Little more. All right, step
away. When ready, Major.
Sam takes aim. Jack puts his fingers in his ears. Sam fires and
the bottom half of the log falls off.
O'NEILL
Ah, Major, demonstrate the weapon on
single shot.
Sam fires and the whole log drops as she has shot the rope holding
it up.
Jack picks up a staff weapon.
O'NEILL
This is a weapon of terror. It's made
to intimidate the enemy. This is a weapon
of war; it's made to kill your enemy.
(Referring to the P90)
CARTER
And it's capable of doing so at five
times the range I just demonstrated.
O'NEILL
We've used it to win about every skirmish
we've had with the Goa'uld and with
the jaffa who served them. Those of
you who have gone up against us and
survived, and you know who you are;
you know what I'm talking about.
KYTANO
We accept your gifts with gratitude
and humility. Now let us celebrate this
new alliance.
The people cheer.
O'NEILL
(To Carter) They really like doing that,
don't they?
CARTER
Yes sir.
TENT
KYTANO
Your weapons are formidable, yes but
they lack the endurance of a staff.
CARTER
That's what these are for.
She holds up ammunition.
KYTANO
And you will provide them freely?
DANIEL
That's the purpose of an alliance, isn't
it?
KYTANO
It places you in a position of power
over us.
O'NEILL
How so?
TEAL'C
If Kytano does not do exactly as agreed,
you may withhold ammunition.
O'NEILL
Okay, first of all, Teal'c, as long
as you're a member of SG1, you should
use the pronoun we not you. Secondly,
we're not holding back, we're offering
the best we've got. Now you can either
take it or leave it.
KYTANO
Of course, it is only concern for my
people that I raise these questions.
O'NEILL
Your people?
KYTANO
There is no warrior among us who cannot
say my people.
TEAL'C
As I also have done.
KYTANO
Colonel O'Neill fears I will seek power
for myself.
CARTER
Well you are gathering an army.
KYTANO
And I lead. But there is no warrior
among us who cannot claim jor may sayku.
DANIEL
Challenge of leadership.
TEAL'C
To determine the worthiness of the victor
and his right to lead.
O'NEILL
To the death, I suppose?
KYTANO
Of course.
O'NEILL
Of course. Yeah, well where I come from,
we do things a little differently.
KYTANO
And you would have us change our ways
to suit yours?
O'NEILL
I didn't say that. But if it's not too
much trouble.
BRA'TAC
Kytano. Colonel O'Neill. It is my hope
that we can learn from our differences.
That they bond us together, make us
stronger.
KYTANO
Your words are wise Master Bra'tac.
O'NEILL
Yes, wise indeed.
KYTANO
Tomorrow, we will bond. In battle. You
are familiar with the System Lord, Nirrti?
O'NEILL
Oh yeah.
KYTANO
Tomorrow we are going to raid a supply
shipment intended for a battalion of
Nirrti's jaffa. Join us.
O'NEILL
If we do, what's in it for us?
KYTANO
I see you are one who speaks his mind,
O'Neill.
O'NEILL
Yes, which is why I don't say much.
Sam smiles.
KYTANO
A share of the spoils.
O'NEILL
Spoils are good. We like spoils.
KYTANO
Teal'c has informed me that you require
several hours of sleep. There is no
shame in doing so.
He leaves.
O'NEILL
Gee, thanks.
TENT
Teal'c is drinking with Raknor.
TEAL'C
Shal met.
RAKNOR
Shal met. Have you chosen to join us,
Teal'c.
TEAL'C
Kytano has yet to ask.
RAKNOR
He will. You will take your place as
a leader in the jaffa nation.
TEAL'C
I have long dreamed that jaffa would
one day be free. But I free that day
is farther off than Kytano believes.
RAKNOR
We have come so far because of you Teal'c.
Kytano could not have hoped to raise
such an army had you not led the way.
TEAL'C
Perhaps.
RAKNOR
And we will grow even stronger now that
the tau'ri have become our allies.
TEAL'C
Of that I am not so sure. Kytano's ways
are difficult for the people of the
Tau'ri to understand.
Kytano walks in.
KYTANO
We shall gain our freedom with or without
them.
Teal'c gets up.
TEAL'C
Kytano. Forgive me.
KYTANO
There is nothing to forgive.
TEAL'C
I do not speak for O'Neill.
KYTANO
What you say is true, they are different.
Cynical of our ways. O'Neill most of
all.
TEAL'C
Yet they are my friends.
KYTANO
And we are your brothers. I am not a
fool Teal'c, I know the Tau'ri are strong.
An alliance can make us stronger. But
I abandon nothing of who and what we
are for neither human nor Goa'uld.
SG1'S TENT
Sam walks in, Daniel is writing and Jack is sitting.
O'NEILL
I guess Teal'c's staying out all night
with his new buddies?
DANIEL
Well he did get in all that quality
kel'no'reeming.
O'NEILL
What do you think?
CARTER
Of Kytano? Well you've got to admit
he's got presence. His followers are
almost fanatical.
O'NEILL
Almost?
DANIEL
Well it does make him formidable. Ancient
Japanese feudal Lords recognised the
discipline that incorporated indifference
to death as a very effective tool in
battle.
O'NEILL
What's with this jomo sicko thing anyway?
DANIEL
Jor may seyku.
O'NEILL
Like anybody in that crowd's gonna challenge
him.
CARTER
Kytano's managed to collect jaffa from
at least six different System Lords.
He must be doing something right.
O'NEILL
Well, they have no problem with dying.
I have a problem with that.
DANIEL
You have a problem with them dying or
you got a problem with the fact that
they don't have a problem with it.
O'NEILL
Both. I think.
He lies down, so does Sam.
O'NEILL
Get some sleep. We have to bond in the
morning.
NEW PLANET.
There is a pyramid and cargo ship there. SG1, Bra'tac, Kytano
and rebel jaffa watch from a hill as the jaffa move towards the
cargo ship.
KYTANO
Kree! You are surrounded! Relinquish
your weapons!
Kytano nods to a jaffa who fires into the air. The jaffa fire
back and Jack starts to fire.
Kytano then gets up.
O'NEILL
Hey!
RAKNOR
He does not know fear.
O'NEILL
Well he knows stupid.
Kytano walks directly into the line of fire.
KYTANO
Kel mak. Hold your fire. I am Kytano.
If you have heard that name, then you
know that there are other jaffa who
believe that the Goa'uld are false gods.
Join us in the struggle against our
oppressors and live to see freedom.
A jaffa gets up and points his staff right at Kytano.
KYTANO
If you do not believe in freedom for
our people brother, then shoot me now.
The jaffa drops his weapon. The rebel jaffa start to cheer.
TEAL'C
Do you believe in him now, O'Neill?
JAFFA REBEL PLANET.
The rebels and SG1 walk back into the village with Nirrti's shipment.
Jack hangs back with Teal'c.
O'NEILL
Teal'c. You see, I'm a little concerned
about Kytano.
TEAL'C
Explain.
O'NEILL
Well you know, that stunt he just pulled.
TEAL'C
Kytano is driven by the power of his
beliefs.
O'NEILL
His beliefs are very impressive but
his tactics could have gotten us all
killed.
TEAL'C
Kytano was successful.
O'NEILL
I say he got lucky.
TEAL'C
Then it appears we disagree.
A horn is blown.
TEAL'C
Kytano summons us.
Teal'c walks off.
CARTER
Sir?
O'NEILL
We've got a problem with Teal'c. He's
buying into Kytano's act.
CARTER
You don't really think it's an act,
do you? Kytano certainly believes in
his cause.
O'NEILL
I think Kytano believes he could walk
on water.
TENT
Kytano opens up the trunk they stole from Nirrti.
KYTANO
The fruits of our new born alliance.
RAKNOR
The cutting edge that is the sword of
our rebellion.
CARTER
Weapons grade naqahdah, sir. A lot of
it.
O'NEILL
It's quite a haul.
KYTANO
Yes.
O'NEILL
What are you gonna do with it?
KYTANO
I will give you as much is as fair.
I have plans for the rest. As for the
zat'nik'tels, we require them all. I
will be able to offer you many times
as much once the ha'tak arrives.
DANIEL
You're expecting a mothership?
KYTANO
You chose your allies well. I have just
received news that jaffa, loyal to me
are staging a mutiny as we speak aboard
a powerful mothership. Soon they will
be on their way and unite with us in
our cause.
O'NEILL
A mutiny? That's a little risky. Isn't
it?
KYTANO
There are always risks in war.
O'NEILL
But if they fail....
KYTANO
They will succeed because their cause
is just.
O'NEILL
I wish it worked that way.
KYTANO
Then they will succeed with the strength
of their resolve. Come with me to the
Chaapa'ai. See for yourself. Come.
GATE
Kytano dials an address.
KYTANO
Nirrti must not learn of our raid. She
would surely hunt us down. We must cover
our tracks.
He goes over to some jaffa.
KYTANO
Tara'c. I chose you to lead this squad
of brave warriors because I know you
will not fail me. Know that if you are
struck down in battle, you will live
forever in Kheb. Free from Goa'uld oppression
for all time.
The other jaffa line up on either side of the Gate.
Kytano is handed something.
KYTANO
Fight your way as deeply as you can
into Nirrti's force. Show the your resolve.
Kal lak shal ta.
TARA'C
Kal lak shal ta.
DANIEL
Victory or death.
Kytano puts something into a pouch on Tara'c's chest.
CARTER
Sir, that's a naqahdah enhanced bomb.
DANIEL
He's sending them on a suicide mission.
TARA'C
Jaffa! Kree!
O'NEILL
Hey, wait a minute!
The small squad of jaffa run in between the other jaffa through
the gate as Raknor stops Jack.
The Gate disengages.
O'NEILL
What the hell are you doing?
KYTANO
Do you now see the strength of our resolve?
O'NEILL
I see the strength of your arrogance.
KYTANO
Do not interfere with things you know
nothing about.
O'NEILL
Oh I know exactly what you're about.
KYTANO
We are at war. It is our way.
O'NEILL
And I suppose it makes you feel all
powerful to know how eager those boys
are to die for you?
KYTANO
Their souls are on the way to a far
better place.
O'NEILL
You know, I've heard that before.
KYTANO
You would deny the existence of Kheb?
You would deny that their souls would
find paradise?
DANIEL
I think what Colonel O'Neill is trying
to say is, we do things a little differently.
KYTANO
Yet again you remind me that your ways
are different. We should abandon centuries
of jaffa tradition and follow the ways
of the Tau'ri. Which of us is arrogant?
DANIEL
Look if we're gonna have an alliance
here, we're have to find common ground.
KYTANO
Soon the ha'tak we await will come and
this army will be a true force to be
reckoned with. If you wish to ally yourselves
with that force then accept us for who
and what we are. If not then leave us
now. Teal'c.
Bra'tac, Raknor then Teal'c follow Kytano.
TENT
Kytano, Teal'c and Bra'tac are looking at a map.
KYTANO
Expect resistance here and here.
TEAL'C
Daniel Jackson witnessed the System
Lord Yu being stabbed by Osiris.
KYTANO
With his sarcophagus, he survived. Still
he was severely weakened by the attack.
His homeworld is ripe for the taking
if his personal guard can be eliminated.
Now is the time when Lord Yu will be
most vulnerable.
BRA'TAC
Then now is time to strike.
TEAL'C
Indeed.
KYTANO
I have several loyal jaffa among his
court. Many of his jaffa will join us
if he were to be struck down.
TEAL'C
WE would be able to commandeer his fleet.
BRA'TAC
Ships filled with jaffa ready to flock
to our cause. I have dreamed of it but
I never thought it possible.
Jack walks in.
O'NEILL
Teal'c? We're packing up. I'd like you
to come with us.
KYTANO
His place is here.
O'NEILL
Teal'c?
TEAL'C
Kytano has entrusted me with a mission
of great importance.
O'NEILL
I bet he has.
TEAL'C
I have accepted this mission freely.
O'NEILL
Don't do it.
TEAL'C
Lord Yu's stargate will be unguarded.
The plan is bold enough to succeed,
O'Neill. More so if you join us.
O'NEILL
Can't do it.
Teal'c nods.
STARGATE
O'NEILL
Why him?
KYTANO
Teal'c's participation will guarantee
the success of this mission.
O'NEILL
On the other hand, Teal'c is a leader
in his own right. You might not want
him around.
KYTANO
Teal'c will become one of our greatest
warriors.
O'NEILL
If he lives.
KYTANO
He will succeed.
O'NEILL
Because you say so?
KYTANO
Because he is Teal'c.
O'NEILL
All right, let me see if I can get this
straight. You assassinate one System
Lord after another, you take all their
ships and warriors, all of whom are
willing to die for you. And this is
different from the way things are now....
How?
KYTANO
The jaffa will be free.
O'NEILL
To follow you?
KYTANO
I grow tired of this. It is time.
Teal'c walks along saluting the other jaffa.
O'NEILL
Teal'c? I'm not going to recommend an
alliance. Not as long as he's in charge.
TEAL'C
We will speak of this when I return
O'Neill.
O'NEILL
I don't think so. Because if you do
this, I don't think you're coming back.
TEAL'C
When I return victorious, will you reconsider.
O'NEILL
Tough call.
TEAL'C
Trust in me O'Neill.
The gate engages.
TEAL'C
All of you.
KYTANO
Teal'c. You are strong and you are wise.
Upon your return you shall be my second
in command.
The jaffa and Teal'c go through the Gate.
YU'S PALACE
Teal'c is dragged in by jaffa.
YU
Teal'c. Perhaps I am not as weak as
you were led to believe. My jaffa has
brought you before me because I wanted
it so. Kytano has sent you to kill me.
Your faith is not blind. I know this
of you. I am going to offer you your
life. I will even allow you to return
to your rebel army. But first, there
is something you must know.
REBEL PLANET
Bra'tac and SG1 are walking to the gate.
BRA'TAC
O'Neill. You will not reconsider?
KYTANO
As Bra'tac said, we are stronger together.
Can we put aside our petty differences?
O'NEILL
I'm holding you personally responsible
for whatever happens to Teal'c. Carter,
dial us out of here.
CARTER
Yes sir.
They go to the Gate.
Sam starts dialling but there is an incoming wormhole.
CARTER
Incoming, Sir.
They duck.
Teal'c comes through the Gate and runs straight to the village.
CARTER
Teal'c.
DANIEL
What happened?
They chase after him.
O'NEILL
Thanks for the update.
VILLAGE
Teal'c runs in.
TEAL'C
Deceiver! We have been deceived. Deceiver!
Two jaffa grab Teal'c.
KYTANO
I have deceived no one. The ha'tak I
spoke of is just now entering the system.
When it arrives all will become clear.
TEAL'C
Lord Yu knows Kelmar is the location
of this rebel army. He knows our numbers.
He knows you have betrayed him. The
mutiny on board Lord Yu's ship has failed.
The ha'tak you await brings doom. Not
salvation. The System Lords merely bided
their time to root out all rebel jaffa
so they may be crushed in one all out
attack. The betrayer has been betrayed.
Jor may seyku.
KYTANO
You challenge me?
TEAL'C
Jor may seyku!
KYTANO
Very well.
He throws him a wooden staff.
They trade blows. Jack looks on and winces.
BRA'TAC
If you intervene, the challenge will
be forfeit.
They continue to fight with some cool Matrix inspired camera
angles.
KYTANO
Perhaps you think I will spare you?
TEAL'C
This is a fight to the death. Your death.
KYTANO
Shol'va!
More cool fighting moves from Kytano and Teal'c is left bending
down on the floor.
KYTANO
Is that the best you can do?
Kytano somersaults and breaks Teal'c's wooden staff in half.
He hits him again.
KYTANO
Beg for mercy.
TEAL'C
I die free.
Kytano goes towards him and leans into him.
KYTANO
You die at the hand of your god. (Switches
to Goa'uld voice) Imhotep.
Kytano does some more fancy moves and leaves himself open for
Teal'c to stab him with the broken end of his staff weapon.
KYTANO
Arrggghhh. (Goa'uld voice)
His eyes glow then fade. He hits the floor.
Raknor goes to Kytano and pulls up his tunic.
RAKNOR
He is not jaffa. Kytano is not jaffa!
TEAL'C
He was a goa'uld. The goa'uld Imhotep.
DANIEL
He used the jaffa's desire for freedom
against them. Probably the only way
he could gain any real power.
Bra'tac picks up Teal'c.
TEAL'C
Kytano was a lie. What brought us to
Kelmar is not. Lord Yu's ship will attack
at any moment. Follow us. Leave with
us if you wish to live.
BRA'TAC
Follow Teal'c. He speaks the truth.
RAKNOR
And he has won the right. You all witnessed.
Kytano has been beaten in the rite of
jor may seyku. Teal'c is our rightful
leader now.
A building behind suddenly explodes.
O'NEILL
Carter?
CARTER
Way ahead of you Sir.
They run towards the Gate.
TEAL'C
Leave with us. Leave with us if you
wish to live.
The Goa'uld continue to bombard the planet.
The Gate engages. Daniel runs through and Sam waits to help people
through. Bra'tac helps Teal'c through and Jack goes through.
O'NEILL
Let's go.
Bra'tac and Teal'c pause.
BRA'TAC
Our time will come old friend. But not
this day.
Teal'c and Bra'tac go through the Gate as the Goa'uld continue
to bombard the planet.
THE END
