STARGATE SG1
Episode 702
"HOMECOMING"
By
Joseph Mallozzi & Paul Mullie
SGC - 'Gate Room The 'gate is spinning up. The alarm klaxons
are blaring.
DAVIS
Receiving IDC, sir. It's SG-1.
HAMMOND
Open the iris. Hammond walks down to
the 'gate room. The iris opens and after
a few seconds, Sam and Jack step through
the 'gate, along with a couple of others.
HAMMOND
Colonel, Major...
CARTER
Our mission objective was a success,
sir. Anubis's new weapon has been neurtralized.
HAMMOND
Well done. What about Jonas and Dr.
Jackson?
JACK
Still on the ship.
CARTER
Anubis went into hyper-space before
we could do anything.
HAMMOND
Do we have any idea where they went?
CARTER
No, sir.
Space We see Anubis' ship come out of hyper-space near a planet.
Inside the ship, Jonas is being prodded into a room by a Jaffa.
ANUBIS
You appear to be unharmed by the mind
probe.
JONAS
*Scoffs* I appreciate the concern. You
seem...calm, considering some lowly
humans just put a serious crimp in your
plans for galactic domination.
ANUBIS
Your insolence amuses me. I've learned
many valuable things from you, Jonas
Quinn. I now know Dr. Jackson accompanied
you aboard this ship.
JONAS
Do you know where he is?
ANUBIS
He continues to elude our sensors...but
his time is running out.
JONAS
Nothing you learn from me is going to
help you.
ANUBIS
Oh, we will see about that. Have a look
out the window. Jonas turns to look
out the window. He sees a lot of what
appear to be clouds, but the view is
obscured by white mist.
JONAS
We, uh...dropped out of hyperspace.
ANUBIS
I'm eager to find out more about this
powerful variation of Naquadah discovered
on your planet. I believe you call it
Naquadria.
JONAS
Where are we?
ANUBIS
Welcome home, Jonas Quinn. We see an
external view of Kelowna. The camera
pans up slightly and the clouds part
to reveal Anubis' ship is hovering over
the city. (Reminds one of the mother
ships coming to rest over Earth's cities
in ID4.)
*NOTE
I'm thinking this is where they'll insert
opening credits when they break these
episodes up.
SGC Hammond is just getting off the red phone. He walks out into
the Briefing Room to speak with Sam and Jack.
HAMMOND
We just receive a report from Tok'ra
intelligence. So far, they have no information
on the whereabouts of Anubis' ship.
JACK
What about Teal'c?
HAMMOND
We haven't heard anything. We can only
assume he's still with Yu's fleet.
CARTER
Any idea why the didn't show?
JACK
I could make a guess...
HAMMOND
You think Yu hung us out to dry.
JACK
I'm not going to touch that, sir.
CARTER
I don't think he would have made a deal
with Anubis...not with their history.
JACK
Trust a Goa'uld...this is what you get.
HAMMOND
I understand how you feel, Colonel,
but I approved this operation because
I believed it was our best chance to
deal Anubis a crippling blow.
JACK
Yes, sir. We hear the Stargate start
spinning and the alarms start blaring.
DAVIS
Unscheduled off-world activation. All
three head down to the control room
as the worm hole is established.
DAVIS
We're receiving a radio signal, sir.
DREYLOCK
This is Ambassador Dreylock of the Kelownan
High Council. Please respond.
HAMMOND
This is General Hammond of Stargate
Command.
DREYLOCK
We request immediate assistance. We
are under attack.
HAMMOND
We've been over this, Ambassador. We
can't interfere in the internal affairs
of your planet.
DREYLOCK
You don't understand. We are under attack
from a Goa'uld. He calls himself Anubis.
The three exchange looks.
JACK
Oy.
Space We see the Goa'uld fleet traveling through hyper-space.
Then we see Teal'c inside his holding cell. Yu's First Prime
comes for a visit.
TEAL'C
Why have I been detained? (when there
is no response, he adds, under his breath)
Lord Yu is without honor. This comment
prompts the Jaffa with the First Prime
to power up his staff weapon and aim
it at Teal'c. JAFFA: Shol'va!
YFP
Jaffa! (This stops the Jaffa from firing)
Kree, Jel-na. (The guard lowers his
weapon and retreats, leaving the First
Prime alone with Teal'c.)
TEAL'C
We had an agreement.
YFP
You have not been betrayed...not deliberately.
TEAL'C
I do not understand.
YFP
My master is not well. He spends most
of his time in the sarcophagus. He is
there even now.
TEAL'C
Why does he not take another host?
YFP
I believe he has reached the point where
he is incapable. Lord Yu is the oldest
of the system lords. He has reigned
for countless centuries...but now I'm
beginning to fear that...even gods cannot
live forever.
TEAL'C
Lord Yu is not a god.
YFP
There was a time I would have struck
you down for speaking those words.
TEAL'C
But now?
YFP
He was convinced that Anubis was in
the Chodawa system...and even though
I knew this was not the case, I could
not contradict him.
TEAL'C
But you have seen that Lord Yu can make
mistakes.
YFP
He's become increasingly paranoid...and
confused. He speaks to himself, but
his words make no sense...and he forgets
key details...of our attack plans. And
grows angry when I remind him.
TEAL'C
If what you say is true, you and your
Jaffa are in grave danger. You must
do something.
YFP
I cannot betray him. I have devoted
my life to his service.
TEAL'C
If this continues, Lord Yu's empire
will fall. Millions of Jaffa will die.
Lord Yu will be remembered as a fool.
What meaning will your life have then?
Kelowna - Stargate We see Commander approach Ambassador Dreylock
as she awaits the arrival of SG-1, or rather Sam and Jack, The
chevrons are locking as they speak.
CMDR
Have they agreed to help us?
DREYLOCK
Not yet.
The Stargate activates and the wormhole is established. Sam and
Jack walk through.
DREYLOCK
Colonel O'Neill, Major Carter...
CARTER
Ambassador, Commander...
DREYLOCK
Thank you for coming.
JACK
What's going on, kids?
CMDR
A ship is hovering over the city. Alien
troops have already taken the capitol
building as well as other key positions.
CARTER
Where are we, exactly?
CMDR
This bunker is several hundred feet
below an army base on the outskirts
of the city.
CARTER
The communicator should work. It was
designed to transmit from Tok'ra tunnels.
DREYLOCK
I don't understand.
CARTER
We believe...two of our people may be
on board that ship. One being Jonas
Quinn. Jack takes the radio from Sam
and walks a short distance away to try
it out.
JACK
Daniel? Daniel, come in...it's O'Neill.
DANIEL
Jack?
JACK
What's your situation?
DANIEL
I'm hiding. What's yours?
JACK
Carter and I are on the planet.
DANIEL
You're gonna have to be a little more
specific, Jack. I haven't had a chance
to look out a window lately.
JACK
You're hovering over Jonas's homeworld.
DANIEL
Why?
JACK
I wish I knew. Are you in any...immediate
danger?
DANIEL
Ah, depends on what you mean by immediate.
JACK
Daniel...
DANIEL
I'm fine. I got a location on Jonas's
cell from the ship's computer. I'm on
my way there right now. I've just got
a...couple of problems.
JACK
Like what?
DANIEL
Well, I'm not sure how to shut off the
force field protecting his cell yet.
JACK
You said a couple?
DANIEL
Yeah, actually, I'm a little lost at
the moment. And I've only got about,
uh, three hours left before the Tok'ra
Isotope wears off and I'm visible to
the ship's sensors.
JACK
So, business as usual then, huh?
DANIEL
I don't know. Is it?
JACK
Yes, we do this kind of thing all the
time. DANIEL: Oh, well, good. That's-
that's comforting, then.
The Goa'uld Fleet Teal'c and Yu's First Prime are still talking.
YFP
This is a mistake.
TEAL'C
Lord Yu can no longer be permitted to
command the opposition to Anubis. His
Jaffa will follow your orders in his
name, but others will not. And we need
the combined force of the system lords.
YFP
None of them can be trusted.
TEAL'C
Nonetheless, one must be chosen. A signal
is heard in the background. Yu's First
Prime turns to see what it is.
YFP
The signal is coming through. We see
Ba'al on the main screen.
BA'AL
What is the meaning of this?
YFP
Lord Ba'al...
BA'AL
Where is your master? Why do you allow
this...Shol'va to appear before me?
TEAL'C
I am here to present an offer.
BA'AL
I will not listen to the words of a
traitor.
TEAL'C
Then you will miss an opportunity to
rid yourself of Anubis forever. Ba'al
appears to reconsider.
Kelowna - the Stargate Bunker
CMDR
When the ship appeared, we were caught
completely off-guard. There was widespread
panic. Before we even knew what was
happening, most of the High Council
had been taken hostage. When we wouldn't
give into his demands, Anubis had the
First Minister executed. He also fired
a volley into our industrial sector,
destroying several factories and killing
many innocent citizens. After that...we
gave him what he wanted.
JACK
Which was?
CMDR
Naquadria...our entire stockpile.
DREYLOCK
Commander, we're receiving a transmission
from the surface.
CMDR
Excuse me a moment. Jack and Sam are
left to discuss the situation in private
and the Commander and the Ambassador
attend to their message.
CARTER
Anubis must have used that mind probe
on Jonas. That's how he found out about
the Naquadria.
JACK
Well, if he did, he knows the stuff
only works half the time.
CARTER
Just because we haven't been able to
establish a stable power output doesn't
mean he won't. And if he does...
JACK
Dada, D-Daaa...Dut, dut. The background
music sort of echoes his hum.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Back at the Fleet Teal'c and Yu's First Prime are still speaking
with Ba'al.
YFP
The truth is, my master is no longer
fit to lead the combined forces of the
system lords.
BA'AL
How dare you judge your god. The Shol'va
has poisoned your mind.
TEAL'C
Clearly, Lord Ba'al is not interested.
YFP
We should contact one of the other system
lords.
TEAL'C
Hm-mm. Perhaps Bastet.
YFP
Mm-hmm.
BA'AL
If I assume command, how can I be assured
of the loyalty of Yu's troops?
YFP
They will follow me in his name.
BA'AL
And will you obey me?
YFP
The destruction of Anubis is in my master's
best interest. I will support any action
that lead to this goal.
TEAL'C
If you are both in agreement, I must
contact the Tau'ri to make the final
arrangements
BA'AL
Then do so.
TEAL'C
Take me to the nearest Stargate.
Kelowna Dreylock and the Commander are walking back to visit
with Sam and Jack.
CARTER
Commander, you said you gave Anubis
your entire stockpile of Naquadria?
CMDR
That's correct.
CARTER
So, if he got what he wanted, why is
he still here?
CMDR
I have no idea. We've just learned his
men have been rounding up archeaologists
from the Academy of Sciences.
CARTER
He may be trying to find the Stargate.
JACK
How secure is this place?
CMDR
It's top secret. We had the 'gate moved
here after the Tiranians and Andaris
began their air strikes.
CARTER
So, you did go to war?
DREYLOCK
Yes, but we managed to negotiate a cease-fire.
JACK
I thought you were out-gunned and out-manned?
CMDR
We used the Naquadria bomb.
JACK
On people?
DREYLOCK
Believe me, everyone immediately regretted
it. The devastation was beyond anything
we could have ever imagined.
CMDR
We had no choice. As many Kelownans
would have died had we done nothing.
We were faced with our own destruction
and you refused to help us.
DREYLOCK
And as awful as it was, it did succeed
in bringing Tiranians and Andaris to
the table. In fact, delegates had just
arrived in the city for peace talks
when all of this began.
CARTER
Do they know about the Stargate?
CMDR
No.
JACK
Well, they may have noticed the rather
large ship floating in the sky. You
might as well tell them the rest.
CMDR
Well, we were hoping it wouldn't come
to that. Anubis has everything he came
for. He may just leave.
CARTER
If Anubis can figure out how to overcome
the instability of the Naquadria, it
will give him a significant advantage
over all of his enemies. Sooner or later
he's going to want more.
DREYLOCK
There is no more. The mine is dry.
CARTER
You think he's gonna take your word
for it? He will occupy this planet and
enslave your people. We've seen it before.
CMDR
What can we do? Sam turns to look at
Jack, who nods.
CARTER
If you want to fight, we'll help you.
But we need the cooperation of the other
major powers on this world. Dreylock
and the Commander look at each other.
Anubis' Ship A Goa'uld Scientist (GS) in service to Anubis arrives
to make a report.
GS
My Lord, I have completed a preliminary
analysis of the Naquadria. The potential
energy output is much greater than that
of regular Naquadah. The difficulty
will be in maintaining a stable reaction.
ANUBIS
This ship must have full power again.
I will not accept failure.
GS
My Lord, We have already learned all
we can from Jonas Quinn. Why keep him
alive?
ANUBIS
His physiology merits further experimentation.
He may still prove to be very useful.
He motions for the scientist to leave
and the scientist complies. Then we
see Daniel skulking around the corridors
of the ship. He opens a door into a
cargo area, enters and closes the door
behind him. He finally finds the panel
in the wall that he has been searching
for. He knocks on it.
DANIEL
Jonas? Jonas, are you there?
JONAS
Daniel?
DANIEL
Yeah...are you all right?
JONAS
Yeah, I'm fine. Where are you?
DANIEL
Uh, I'm in a storage room about 20 feet
from your current position.
JONAS
Can you get me outta here?
DANIEL
I'm working on it.
Kelowna Jack and Sam await the arrival of the Tiraian and Andari
delegates.
DREYLOCK
Colonel O'Neill, Major Carter, may I
present the leaders of the Tiranian
and the Andari peace delegations? Ambassador
Sevaarin and Ambassador Noor. Colonel
O'Neill and Major Carter are representatives
of a planet called Earth.
NOOR
They don't look very alien.
JACK
We get that a lot. The Stargate begins
activating.
DREYLOCK
And this, of course, is the Stargate.
SEVAARIN
How does it work?
JACK
Let's have a look. The whoosh causes
Noor and Sevaarin to take a step back
in shock.
JACK
Something like that...
NOOR
Incredible...
JACK
Isn't it? Teal'c emerges from the Stargate.
SEVAARIN
He is one of the enemy soldiers.
JACK
Relax...he's one of ours. He and Sam
go to greet Teal'c.
TEAL'C
It is good to see the both of you again.
CARTER
We got your message through General
Hammond.
JACK
Are you nuts?
TEAL'C
I believe it to be our only choice,
O'Neill.
Anubis' Ship Daniel is still talking to Jonas through the wall.
DANIEL
I don't know quite how to tell you this,
but, uh...Anubis has taken this ship
to your homeworld. We're in position
right above the Kelownan capital.
JONAS
Yeah, I know. He's after the Naquadria.
It's my fault. If it wasn't for me,
he never would have found out about
it.
DANIEL
Don't blame yourself.
JONAS
Look, the point is, I joined Stargate
Command so that maybe, one day, I could
protect my planet from the Goa'uld.
Instead, I brought them right to it.
DANIEL
We'll find a way out of this.
JONAS
Yeah?
DANIEL
Apparently.
Kelowna - Stargate Bunker Sam is meeting with the Kelownans while
Jack and Teal'c meet a short distance away.
JACK
We already trusted one Goa'uld...look
where it got us.
TEAL'C
I do not trust Ba'al, O'Neill. But I
believe, at least for the moment, his
goal is the same as ours.
JACK
Well...all right. Have at it. Oh, yes...you
do the talking. Teal'c and Jack move
to address the others.
TEAL'C
We have made and agreement with another
system lord named Ba'al. If we give
him the location of this world, he will
bring a fleet and destroy Anubis.
NOOR
You propose to bring more of these Goa'uld
to our world? TEAL'C: For the moment,
Anubis is vulnerable. He has but one
ship and is preoccupied. But he believes
his position to be secure because he
knows the other system lords are unaware
of this place.
CMDR
And if Anubis is destroyed, how do we
know this Ba'al will leave us alone?
TEAL'C
That is part of the agreement.
CMDR
You say we cannot negotiate with Anubis
and these Goa'uld cannot be trusted...
NOOR
And yet, you ask us to trust another?
TEAL'C
Your world is facing an imminent threat.
SEVAARIN
Kelowna is facing an imminent threat.
There are no alien ships in the skies
above Tirania.
CMDR
See what we have to deal with?
JACK
Haven't you guys ever heard the story
of the dog and the dancing monkeys?
Has something to do with getting along
and...dancing. (his voice trails off...all
the representatives sigh in frustration)
Carter...
CARTER
With all due respect, Mr. Ambassador,
when Anubis comes looking for more Naquadria,
he is not going to respect any borders.
He will tear this planet apart, piece
by piece, if he has to.
JACK
Bottom line is, I'm not going to approve
any plan unless I have unanimous agreement
from all parties.
Anubis' Ship The Goa'uld Scientist has returned to speak with
Anubis.
GS
My Lord.
ANUBIS
Have you found a way to overcome the
instability of the Naquadria?
GS
I believe I have.
ANUBIS
Then use the substance to power one
of the ship's weapons arrays. I want
it tested immediately.
GS
We will need to select a target.
ANUBIS
How fortunate that there is a city before
us.
GS
I am unsure of the destructive poser
of this weapon. The blast radius from
a single shot could conceivably encompass
the entire city.
ANUBIS
If it does, you will have my congratulations.
GS bows and leaves.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Anubis' Ship
CARTER
Daniel, this is Sam...come in?
DANIEL
Yeah, go ahead.
CARTER
Did you find Jonas?
DANIEL
Yeah, but I'm still having trouble this...force
field cell thing.
CARTER
You're going to have to find a way to
cut the power.
DANIEL
How do I do that?
CARTER
I'm no sure, but we've only got a couple
of hours to figure it out.
DANIEL
What happens then?
CARTER
Ba'al's fleet arrives.
DANIEL
Well, I've got 15 minutes till this
isotope wears out and I'm visible to
the ship's sensors. You know what? I
think I'm gonna have to get back to
you. I 've got company. Daniel hides
as Jaffa come into the storage area.
JAFFA
Reltac. Tel shek anfar. Tel nor moklan
n'ral. The two Jaffa accompanying him
pick up a container and haul it out.
They all start to leave, but the lead
Jaffa hears something. JAFFA: Jaffa!
Those carrying the container put it
down and head back into the storage
area. JAFFA: Sarit!
Meanwhile the Goa'uld Scientist is at the console with Herak.
GS
The Naquadria generator is on-line.
We are ready.
ANUBIS
Charge the weapon. The GS moves to another
control panel and complies.
Back in the storage room, the Jaffa are still searching. Daniel
is still hiding. They are closing in.
Back to the GS, powering up the weapon.
GS
My Lord, the generator is overloading.
ANUBIS
Abort the test.
GS
I cannot abate the overload.
We see an exterior view of the ship and there is a visible explosion
on the under side. Then we see the effects of the explosion rocking
the interior of the ship from the storage room.
JAFFA
Jaffa! Kree! (He calls his colleagues
and the leave the area to find out what
happened.)
Jonas is knocked to the floor of his cell. The force fields appear
to weaken.
BACK WITH ANUBIS
GS: This makes no sense. I compensated
for instability.
ANUBIS
Kill him. Herak complies. He shoots
the Scientist with his staff weapon.
Daniel leaves the storage area and moves to the corridor outside
Jonas's cell.
DANIEL
Jonas.
JONAS
What happened?
DANIEL
I don't know.
JONAS
What ever it was, there's not enough
power to maintain the force fields.
(he reaches out to test the field blocking
his exit and is rewarded with a big
zap) Aah!
DANIEL
You okay? JONAS: That hurt.
DANIEL
Arm?
JONAS
A little numb. I think I can make it.
DANIEL
Well, you better. I don't wanna take
you outta here in a dust pan.
JONAS
Yeah. Jonas rears back and steels himself
to rush the force field. He runs and
throws himself through it. He lands
on the floor outside the cell and writhes
on the floor in pain for a few seconds
before Daniel reaches him and helps
him up.
DANIEL
Nice.
JONAS
Okay, how do we get off this thing?
DANIEL
Cargo ship.
JONAS
Which way?
DANIEL
Uh....this way. Points and begins to
run with Jonas close behind.
JONAS
You sure?
DANIEL
No.
JONAS
Right.
SGC - 'Gate Room Hammond meets Jack at the base of the ramp as
Jack has just returned through the Stargate from Kelowna.
HAMMOND
Report.
JACK
We're in position, but the Kelownans
are requesting additional weapons and
troops to help deal with the Jaffa on
the ground.
HAMMOND
Colonel, you know I can't authorize
that without Pentagon approval.
JACK
Yes, sir, but I was thinking maybe I
could take Sgs -15 and -11 as technical
advisors?
HAMMOND
But if Ba'al doesn't show up?
JACK
Could be a little screwy. But we talked
these folks into this. THe least we
can do is back 'em up.
HAMMOND
Agreed. Put your teams together.
JACK
Sir
Kelowna - Stargate Bunker
CARTER
Anubis has superior shields, but according
to our intelligence, they're less than
40% effective within the atmosphere
of a planet. If Ba'al attacks while
Anubis is vulnerable, he's got a chance.
CMDR
That's not very reassuring.
DREYLOCK
We just received a report. Anubis's
men are ransacking the Museum of Antiquities.
CARTER
Why would they do that?
CMDR
They may still be looking for the Stargate,
as you said.
CARTER
No, Anubis is smart enough to know that
it wouldn't be in a public place. What
was in the museum?
DREYLOCK
Nothing. The entire exhibit was packed
up and put into storage when the war
began.
CARTER
Okay. What was in the exhibit?
CMDR
Minor trinkets from the original Goa'uld
dig sites...pottery, statues.
CARTER
What about tablets?
CMDR
Those were classified top secret and
given to the scientists working on the
Naquadria project.
CARTER
I'd like to see a list of objects in
the exhibit. Anubis is looking for something.
I wanna know what it is.
Anubis' Ship Jonas and Daniel are sneaking through the corridors.
DANIEL
Cargo bay should be just down the next
hall. How's your arm?
JONAS
I can wiggle my fingers.
Daniel hears Jaffa up ahead and ducks back. He and Jonas stop
and press themselves up against a wall.
DANIEL
Those are all the Jaffa going into the
cargo bay which is just down the hall.
He turns and lead Jonas back the way
they came.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Kelowna - Stargate Bunker Jack has just returned with his teams.
CMDR
Eight men? That's all you brought?
JACK
Eight good men.
CMDR
There are over a thousand alien soldiers
in the city. Their weapons are more
powerful than anything our forces have
ever seen. We don't stand a chance.
JACK
The main problem is the ship. Once that's
taken out, we can deal with the Jaffa.
CARTER
Sir, I think I know why Anubis hasn't
left yet. He's looking for a crystal.
The Kelownan archaeologists found it
with the other Goa'uld artifacts, but
the didn't know what it was. They classified
it as a decorative object and placed
it in a museum display.
CMDR
I don't understand. What is it?
CARTER
The Goa'uld use crystals to store information.
DREYLOCK
What kind of information?
CARTER
Well, we know from the tablets that
the original Goa'uld who occupied this
planet was experimenting with Naquadria,
but they don't give any details. There
are no lab notes, no test results.
CMDR
And you think that's what's on the crystal?
CARTER
Well, it makes sense. Your people didn't
know it was important. They never included
it with the other material from the
Naquadria project. Which is why Jonas
never knew about it either. Sir, if
Anubis gets a hold of this crystal,
he could use it to adapt his systems
and make the Naquadria work.
JACK
Yeah, I get it. (then to the Kelownans)
Where is it?
CMDR
Everything was moved to a warehouse
for safekeeping.
DREYLOCK
I can take you there.
CMDR
Wait...if this is as important as you
say it is, let me send a contingent
to secure the building.
JACK
We don't want to draw any unnecessary
attention to the place.
CARTER
I'll go, sir. I know what to look for.
JACK
All right. Take Teal'c. Dreylock nods
and she and Sam leave. Jack and the
Commander share a look and then the
Commander leaves Jack alone.
Anubis' Ship Daniel and Jonas are still sneaking around. The
hear footsteps approaching and quickly open a door to an empty
room. Both head into the room and Jonas hits the controls to
close the door. Daniel lets out the breath he'd been holding.
He looks around and Jonas notices a zat sitting on a rack next
to him and picks it up.
JONAS
Looks like patrols are closing in.
DANIEL
Yeah, well, we've got one minute before
the isotope wears off. You know...that
planet you guys found me on was nice.
People were simple, life was quiet.
JONAS
Why didn't you stay?
DANIEL
I couldn't remember what this was like.
JONAS
It's fun, isn't it?
DANIEL
Yeah...
JONAS
Look, it we get out of this, uh...
DANIEL
Oh, you can keep the office...
JONAS
Actually, I was talking about SG-1.
DANIEL
Ah...you took the position because you
felt guilty about what happened to me
and you thought you could make up for
it by finishing my work and now that
I'm back you...
JONAS
Don't get me wrong, I love the job.
DANIEL
Well, yeah, who could argue? I mean,
lousy hours, constant peril.
JONAS
On the bright side...you get to travel
a lot.
DANIEL
You're very up.
JONAS
Yeah...well, truth is, I don't thing
that, uh, Colonel O'Neill was very comfortable
having me around.
DANIEL
No, that's not what he told me. He said
that your were a good man.
JONAS
Really? He said that?
DANIEL
Yeah. You're shocked he never let on?
JONAS
Anyway...now that you're back...
DANIEL
Let's worry about getting out of here
first. Jonas nods...and then stop.
JONAS
Rings?
DANIEL
What good's that gonna do? There's nowhere
to ring to.
JONAS
We found a ring platform when we first
uncovered the Stargate.
DANIEL
Which means it hasn't been used in over
2000 years.
JONAS
Well, let's see if it still works.
Kelowna - The Warehouse Sam, Teal'c, Dreylock and another SGC
soldier are entering to begin a search for the crystal.
CARTER
Looks like we got here first.
Anubis' Ship - a Ring Transporter Room Two Jaffa are standing
guard in the room.
VOICE OVER SPEAKER
Jaffa, Kree! Two unauthorized persons
detected on sensors approaching your
sector.
The two Jaffa go to the door. The first punches in the command
to open the door. As the door rises, Daniel shoots the first
Jaffa with a zat and before the other can react, he shoots him
too. Jonas comes in the door on the other side of the room. Daniel
steps into the transport area as Jonas goes to the control panel.
Kelowna - The Warehouse They are still searching for the crystal.
DREYLOCK
This is hopeless.
CARTER
It has to be here somewhere.
TEAL'C
Major Carter... He hands her the crystal.
CARTER
Bingo. Just then, several Jaffa come
in from every doorway, bearing weapons.
JAFFA
Jaffa, Kree! Teal'c and Sam raise their
weapons and try to defend themselves,
but they are hopelessly outnumbered.
JAFFA
Shel-norak. Teal'c and Sam lower their
weapons and surrender.
Anubis' Ship Still in the Ring Room (can you guess what's going
to happen? ;-) )
DANIEL
Do we even know where it is we're goin'?
JONAS
Not a clue.
Meanwhile, back at the warehouse, Sam and Teal'c are being escorted
out by the Jaffa. The lead Jaffa holds out his hand.
JAFFA
Gal a'quel. Sam gets the hint and reluctantly
begins to hand him the crystal, but
just then, the rings transporter activates,
knocking several Jaffa off their feet
and out. Jonas and Daniel arrive from
Anubis' ship and begin zatting Jaffa
as Sam, Teal'c and the others duck.
Seconds later, all the Jaffa are unconscious.
CARTER
Nice timing.
DANIEL
Thanks.
DREYLOCK
Jonas Quinn.
JONAS
Ambassador.
DANIEL
Where are we?
CARTER
Warehouse. It's where they keep all
the Goa'uld artifacts, including a ring
platform.
JONAS
And a crystal.
DANIEL
Let's get out of here. There's probably
more Jaffa right on our tails.
Kelowna - Stargate Bunker An Sergeant (SGT) is reporting to O'Neill.
SGT
The perimeter's clear, sir. We've got
a visual on Major Robbin's position
across the square.
JACK
Okay, Sergeant, sit tight. O'Neill out.
CARTER
Colonel.
JACK
Hey! Where'd you find 'em?
CARTER
They, uh, dropped into the warehouse.
JACK
Nice. The crystal?
CARTER
Right here. (She fishes it out of her
vest pocket.)
CMDR
I'll take that.
CARTER
I think it would be better if we held
onto it.
CMDR
I'm afraid I must insist. Several Jaffa
with staff weapons appear from all entrances
and surround the SGC group.
JACK
What is this?
CMDR
I've made a separate arrangement.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Kelowna - Stargate Bunker Herak arrives with the two other peace
delegates.
HERAK
Put down your weapons, Colonel, or I
will be forced to destroy these people.
Jack looks at Sam first, then the others
and they all put their weapons down
as he unhooks his P-90 from his vest.
The Commander walks forward and holds
out his hand.
CMDR
The crystal.
Sam hands it over and then looks at Jack.
JACK
You're an idiot. You know that?
CMDR
In exchange for this, Anubis has agreed
to leave Kelownan territory untouched.
JACK
Thus confirming my last statement.
CMDR
He knows our Naquadria supplies are
depleted, but I believe he may find
another mine on Tiranian territory.
SEVAARIN
That's a lie.
CMDR
One of your scientists is a Kelownan
spy. We know you've been trying to build
your own bomb for the last three years.
SEVAARIN
But we didn't mine the Naquadria. We
stole it from the Andaris.
NOOR
What? (she slaps Sevaarin across the
face.) JONAS (who has walked forward):
Don't you see what's happening here?
He's using you against each other.
HERAK
Enough!
JONAS
You can't afford to fight any longer.
This whole planet is a target, not just
Kelowna or Tirania. You have to stand
together here.
HERAK
I said enough! (He smacks Jonas upside
the head, knocking him to the ground,
face down. Teal'c makes a move, but
is held by a charged staff weapon pointed
at him.)
JONAS
You've got to start trusting each other
otherwise you're all gonna become slaves.
JACK
If you're lucky.
HERAK
The crystal. (The Commander hands it
to Herak. Herak looks it over and smiles.)
Thank you. (The Commander nods. Herak
picks up his staff weapon and walks
toward Jack and Sam. He looks at Jack,
then turns and fires his weapon at the
Commander.) As for the rest of you...you
will be publicly executed as an example
to all those who would defy their god.
JACK
Does it...have to be publicly?
HERAK
I could kill you now.
JACK
Publicly's fine. Herak shuts the weapon
down and Jack acts as though his finger
was pinched or nearly pinched by the
closing petals of the staff.
HERAK
Jaffa! He leaves and the other Jaffa
begin herding people.
Kelownan Space We see the Goa'uld fleet emerge from hyper-space
above the planet and immediately begin firing at Anubis' ship
in the atmosphere below. We see some shots bounce off the shield,
some hit the planet, but plenty make it through the shields and
Anubis' ship is beginning to break apart.
Back on Kelowna, those in the bunker are feeling the effects
of the shots that have hit the planet. In the earthquake-like
diversion, Jack gets his hands on a pistol and being firing madly
at Jaffa. He is taking several out. Staff weapon fire is zinging
all around as Teal'c does hand to hand combat with a Jaffa before
he gets his hand on a staff and begins firing too. Jack is now
doing some damage with a P-90.
We see Anubis' ship begin to ascend from the planet. Then we
see Daniel go after Herak and get clocked.
VOICE
Tel nor. Hatak mal shee. Herak frowns
and begins punching in an address on
the DHD. Sam takes out a Jaffa and throws
a staff to Jonas who begins firing.
The Stargate activates as the battle
continues. Herak starts toward the 'gate,
but Sam jumps on him from behind, knocking
him to the ground and causing him to
drop the crystal.
Ba'al appears on Anubis' main screen.
BA'AL
You're ship is at my mercy. You are
defeated. Surrender now. The camera
pans to show that Anubis is no longer
on his throne. Then we see an exterior
shot as the ship begins to break up.
We see a small saucer shaped ship escape
from the doomed mother ship and fly
away.
Back at the bunker, Sam is wrestling with Herak. He biffs her
and rolls her off him. He stands and sees the crystal at the
same time Daniel notices it. They look at each other, then Daniel
goes for the crystal. Herak, motions for a Jaffa with a staff
to fire at Daniel. Jonas notices what's happening and shouts
a warning.
JONAS
Daniel! Jonas dives toward Daniel and
shoves him out of the way, but takes
a staff blast to the ribs. Teal'c nails
the guy who shot Jonas and Herak decides
to leave the crystal and jumps through
the 'gate just before it shuts down.
Then we see Anubis' escape vessel jump
to hyper-space.
Sam comes to and sees Jonas lying nearby.
CARTER
Jonas! She crawls toward him. Jonas
grimaces in pain.
DANIEL
I owe you one.
JONAS
We'll call it even. Oh!
SGC SG-1 (with Daniel this time), Hammond, Dreylock and plenty
of other SGC personnel are gathered in the 'gate room when Jonas
Quinn enters wearing civilian clothes, his arm in a sling. He
sets a duffel down on the ramp.
DREYLOCK
The last time you returned to Kelowna,
you were considered a traitor. That
will not be the case this time.
JONAS
Are you sure about that?
DREYLOCK
The Andaris and Tiranians would only
agree to participate in the joint ruling
council on the condition that you were
the Kelownan representative. Your experiences
over the past year will be vital to
our planet forging ahead and facing
what awaits in our future. We need you,
Jonas.
JACK
Got everything packed? Toothbrush? Slippers?
Hair gel?
JONAS
Yes.
Jack smiles back and then Jonas turns his attention to the others
assembled. We hear the 'gate begin dialing as Jonas approaches
Hammond.
JONAS
Sir.
HAMMOND
It was an honor, son.
JONAS
Yes, it was.
DANIEL
Yeah, I remember that.
JONAS
You do?
DANIEL
Yeah.
JONAS
Hey, that's great.
DANIEL
It's just...it's all kinda comin' back.
JONAS
Anyway, I'm just glad I had the chance
to find out.
DANIEL
Me too. They shake hands and it's on
to Teal'c.
TEAL'C
You have the heart of a warrior, Jonas
Quinn. (Jonas smiles and shakes his
hand.) Continue to fight well. Jonas
nods and slaps Teal'c on the shoulder.
Teal'c bows slightly. Then he moves
to Sam and gives her a hug.
CARTER
Keep in touch. He nods and smiles...then
moves onto Jack.
JONAS
Uh...
JACK
You earned it.
JONAS
Thanks. Jonas picks up his duffel and
he and Dreylock walk toward the 'gate.
Jonas stops and turns back.
JONAS
Hey, Daniel...feed my fish? Daniel nods
and Jonas turns back toward the 'gate.
He stops just short of crossing the
even horizon. He takes one last look
back, then turns and walks through.
Those assembled begin to disperse. Everyone,
but Daniel. He stands there, looking
up at the Stargate. Then he walks closer
to it...stopping at the base of the
ramp. Jack turns back at the exit as
he notices that Daniel is hanging back.
JACK
You all right?
DANIEL
Yeah.
JACK
Well, dinner's at 7:00. Don't be late.
Teal'c gets a little cranky when his
blood sugar gets low.
DANIEL
Jack...
JACK
Yeah?
DANIEL
It's not that I mind...rejoining SG-1
and exploring the galaxy, meeting new
cultures, jeopardy, saving the world,
that kind of thing...we get paid for
this, right?
JACK
Welcome back. Daniel turns to look back
at the 'gate as the camera pans back.
THE END
