                                      STARGATE SG1

                                      Episode 312

                                  "JOLINAR'S MEMORIES"

                                           By

                            Daniel Stashower & Sonny Wareham




               Gate spinning, splashes into life, iris shuts. Jack and Sam walk 
               into the Control room.
 
               
                                     SAM
                         What’s up?

               
                                     TECH
                         Receiving GDO transmission, sir. It’s 
                         the Tok’ra.
 
               
                                     JACK
                         Open the iris. Maybe it’s Dad.

               
                                     SAM
                         Maybe.

               
               Iris opens, Jack and Sam walk into Gateroom. Martouf and two 
               other Tok’ra emerge.
 
               
                                     SAM
                         Martouf. How are you?

               
                                     MARTY
                         Samantha. Colonel O’Neill. Well enough, 
                         under the circumstances.
 
               
                                     SAM
                         what’s wrong?

               
                                     MARTY
                         Maybe we should discuss this elsewhere.
 
                         
               
                                     SAM
                         It’s my father.

               
                                     MARTY
                         I’m afraid he’s been captured by Sokar.
 
                         
               
                                     SAM
                         Oh my God.

               
                                     MARTY
                         As far as we know he is still alive.
 
                         
               
                                     SAM
                         As far as you know?

               
                                     MARTY
                         You are familiar of how Sokar has assumed 
                         the persona of the entity known on Earth 
                         as the Devil.
 
               
                                     JACK
                         Yeah. Bit pretentious, don’t ya think?
 
                         
               
                                     MARTY
                         You must understand when I say that 
                         if Selmak is still alive, he has been 
                         sent to hell.
 
               
                                     JACK
                         As in...

               
                                     MARTY
                         A place of eternal suffering and damnation 
                         from which there is no return.

               Corridor

               
                                     JACK
                         So, what are we really talking about 
                         here?
 
               
                                     MARTY
                         Netu is a moon orbiting Sokar’s home 
                         planet.
 
               
                                     JACK
                         A very hot moon, I take it?

               
                                     MARTY
                         It is indeed a place where fire burns 
                         strong.
 
               
                                     SAM
                         But you know for sure that my father 
                         is still alive?
 
               
               Marty stops, and takes Sam’s arm. [Oi! Marty! Hands off!]

               
                                     MARTY
                         I am sorry, Samantha. I know this must 
                         be difficult. Once captured, Selmak 
                         and Jacob your father would have been 
                         brutally tortured  But Sokar would rather 
                         see his victims suffer than die.
 
               
                                     JACK
                         So we’re talking about a rescue mission.
 
                         
               
                                     MARTY
                         Unfortunately, to our knowledge, no 
                         one has ever escaped from Netu.
 
               
                                     JACK
                         Oh.

               
                                     MARTY
                         No one except for Jolinar.

               
                                     SAM
                         Oh.

               
               Briefing Room

               
                                     DANIEL
                         Of course it makes sense. The Goa’uld 
                         impersonating the Devil would naturally 
                         create a place like Netu. Netu is from 
                         the book of Am-Taut which is kind of 
                         how-to guide to passage through the 
                         ancient Egyptian otherworld regions. 
                         And many of those regions are described 
                         as dark places with pits of fire home 
                         to hellish monsters and damned.
 
               
                                     MARTY
                         What little we know is largely based 
                         on the legends that have been perpetuated 
                         by Sokar himself.
 
               
                                     JACK
                         How did Jolinar get out?

               
                                     MARTY
                         She never said.

               
                                     DANIEL
                         And no one ever asked her how she escaped 
                         from an inescapable prison?
 
               
                                     MARTY
                         She was found unconscious and badly 
                         injured in a Teltak, a cargo ship, floating 
                         in space. Her recovery was long and 
                         painful. She was encouraged to remember 
                         how she escaped but she refused to speak 
                         of it.
 
               
                                     JACK
                         Anyone curious as to why?

               
                                     MARTY
                         I implored her but she would not say.
 
                         
               
                                     SAM
                         I only carried Jolinar for a short time. 
                         I’ve never had anything more than scattered 
                         flashes of her memories, occasionally 
                         some dreams, but never anything like 
                         this place you’re describing.
 
               
                                     MARTY
                         The Tok’ra have technology that aids 
                         in the recall of memories, but you must 
                         be willing to use it.
 
               
                                     JACK
                         If we’re going in on this one, sir, 
                         we’re going to need some more units.
 
                         
               
                                     MARTY
                         A full military incursion will be impossible, 
                         Colonel O’Neill.
 
               
                                     JACK
                         We do covert.

               
                                     MARTY
                         Selmak’s recovery is obviously a high 
                         priority, however, and forgive me, Samantha, 
                         there is something larger at stake. 
                         The Tok’ra believe that Sokar is planning 
                         to launch a massive attack against the 
                         System Lords.
 
               
                                     JACK
                         Isn’t that good news?

               
                                     TEAL’C
                         The chaotic and feudal disorganisation 
                         of the System Lords’ fragmented rule 
                         is a far more vulnerable target than 
                         that of one powerful Goa’uld.
 
               
                                     MARTY
                         Especially if that Goa’uld is Sokar.
 
                         
               
                                     HAMMOND
                         He’s really that much worse than the 
                         others?
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         Well, of all the gods he picked to impersonate 
                         he chose the Devil.
 
               
                                     MARTY
                         We need to find Selmak and determine 
                         what information he has gathered about 
                         Sokar’s attack. Without wanting to sound 
                         overly-dramatic, the fate of the Galaxy 
                         might be at stake
 
               
                                     JACK
                         Sounds a bit overly dramatic

               
                                     HAMMOND
                         Sounds like we can’t refuse. Colonel 
                         you have a go
 
               
                                     SAM
                         When do we leave?

               
                                     MARTY
                         As soon as you are ready. If you are 
                         sure you are all sure you understand 
                         what you are volunteering for.
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         You said hell, right?

               
                                     JACK
                         Well, I’m gonna end up there sooner 
                         or later. May as well check out the 
                         neighbourhood.

                         The Teltak we will require for our journey 
                         awaits us on the planet Vorash

                         There is no Stargate on Netu. Those 
                         banished there are taken by ship

                         Have I mentioned to you that I hate 
                         surprises?
 
               
                                     MARTY
                         We have a long journey ahead of us. 
                         There will be much time to inform you 
                         of all the details.
 
               
                                     JACK
                         Ah! Now that puts me in a position to 
                         be surprised.

                         Major, you will bring your father back 
                         safely
 
               
                                     JACK
                         Yes, sir. We will.

                         This ship looks familiar

               
                                     MARTY
                         This is the same Teltak that Jolinar 
                         was found adrift. It was severely damaged 
                         when we found it. Essential flight mechanisms 
                         have been repaired, however, the hyperdrive 
                         engines can only be run at 40% without 
                         too much risk.
 
               
               Daniel starts playing with the console, and Jack indicates for 
               him to stop. Teal’c sits in the pilot seat, and takes a look.
 
               
               
                                     TEAL’C
                         Is this vessel equipped with stealth 
                         capabilities?
 
               
               Marty looks confused.

               
                                     SAM
                         The ship we were in could make itself 
                         invisible
 
               
                                     MARTY
                         Really?

               
                                     JACK
                         It was an upgrade. You’re obviously 
                         dealing with your base model here.
 
                         
               
                                     MARTY
                         Are you sure you can fly a ship such 
                         as this?
 
               
                                     TEAL’C

                                     MARTY
                         While we are on the surface, you may 
                         have to avoid Sokar’s forces
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         Isn’t Teal’c coming with us?

               
                                     MARTY
                         He cannot. The atmosphere around the 
                         moon is impenetrable by ship. The only 
                         way to reach the surface is in the descent 
                         pods. It is how all the damned are sent 
                         to sent to Netu by Sokar, and it how 
                         we must also arrive if we are to convince 
                         the Denizens we can be trusted
 
               
                                     SAM
                         And there are only four pods

               
                                     JACK
                         This counts as a surprise you know.
 
                         
               
                                     MARTY
                         Shall we embark?

               
                                     JACK
                         By all means. To hell with us.

                                     DANIEL
                         So what else can you tell us about Netu?
 
                         
               
                                     MARTY
                         The moon was once an industrialised 
                         colony of the planet Delmak. When Sokar 
                         conquered Delmak he made it his homeworld. 
                         He transformed the moon’s environment 
                         to suit the myths.
 
               
                                     JACK
                         sounds like he went to an awful lot 
                         of trouble

                         he filled the atmosphere with barely 
                         breathable toxins, then blasted numerous 
                         holes in the surface, releasing the 
                         molten core. As I apply the memory device, 
                         you will feel a slight pain
 
               
                                     SAM
                         we’ve actually already experienced this 
                         technology before
 
               
                                     MARTY
                         good. Then you will know what to expect
 
                         
               
                                     DANIEL
                         so we’re actually going to see Jolinar’s 
                         memories appear as... holographic images?
 
                         
               
                                     MARTY
                         there are no specific way of targeting 
                         certain memories. Some of Samantha’s 
                         personal memories may surface. Out of 
                         respect for her privacy we will not 
                         be using this part of the technology.

                         think of Jolinar. The last night we 
                         spent together before she was captured 
                         by Sokar. We walked along the ridge 
                         of Noctana. There were two moons out 
                         that night.

                         I should have said this earlier. I know 
                         my relationship with Jolinar is a source 
                         of discomfort for you.

                         I would just like you to know that it 
                         has always been my belief that Jolinar 
                         kept her experiences from Netu a secret 
                         as she feared it would come between 
                         us. I do not want you to hold anything 
                         back for the same reason. You don’t 
                         have to protect me.

                         provide very realistic sensory recall
 
                         
               
                                     SAM
                         she was tortured... so badly

               
                                     MARTY
                         I am going to turn it on again, but 
                         at a lower setting 
 
               
               He switches it back on

               
                                     SAM
                         she was on a ship like this one. They 
                         put her in a descent pod. There was... 
                         fire all around. It was hard to breath.
 
                         
               
               Flashback.

               
               Jolinar’s POV walking through the tunnels, meeting other damned, 
               entering Bynarr’s quarters, Bynarr grinning the Evil Grin, his 
               eyes flashing
 
               
               Back to Sam

               
                                     SAM
                         it’s gone. I lost it

               
                                     MARTY
                         we will arrive soon

               
                                     SAM
                         I know, Martouf. I’m sorry. Maybe I’m 
                         not going to be able to do this
 
               
                                     MARTY
                         you have to

               
                                     JACK
                         hey, Marty. A word?

               
               They leave the back area

               
                                     JACK
                         you’re pushing a little hard don’t ya 
                         think?
 
               
                                     MARTY
                         there is not much time left

               
                                     JACK
                         it’s her father. She knows the stakes
 
                         
               
                                     MARTY
                         if she does not remember Jolinar’s method 
                         of escape I will not allow any of you 
                         to accompany me down to the surface
 
                         
               
                                     JACK
                         why?

               
                                     MARTY
                         because anyone who goes down there will 
                         likely not return.
 
               
                                     JACK
                         but you’re gonna go

               
                                     MARTY
                         I will attempt to locate Selmak and 
                         communicate any relevant information 
                         to you. You will then return to Vorash 
                         and relay it the Tok’ra
 
               
                                     JACK
                         and leave and Jacob down there to, what? 
                         Rot?
 
               
                                     MARTY
                         with no means of escape...

               
                                     JACK
                         alright, first of all, Carter’s not 
                         going to let you go without her. Secondly, 
                         I won’t let it happen, and thirdly, 
                         Jolinar escaped
 
               
                                     MARTY
                         but if Samantha cannot recall how...
 
                         
               
                                     JACK
                         I know, I heard you. And forgive the 
                         bravado, but it’s been done before. 
                         It can be done again
 
               
               Back at the rear of the ship... Sam is sat, chin resting on a 
               knee. She’s not a happy camper. Daniel comes and sits beside 
               her.
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         you going to be OK?

               
                                     SAM
                         yeah. It’s just so confusing. Images 
                         and faces. Fragments of thoughts and 
                         feelings... There was a Goa’uld on Netu. 
                         Not Sokar. He was... let’s just say he 
                         was less than attractive. I know his 
                         name I just can’t find it. And I get 
                         this horrible sick feeling when I remember 
                         him
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         something happened between him and Jolinar
 
                         
               
                                     SAM
                         something worse than the torture and 
                         pain. Something Jolinar never wanted 
                         Martouf to find out about
 
               
               FX shot of the Teltak in normal space, coming round a planet 
               and heading for a red moon
 
               
               Inside

               
                                     TEAL’C
                         we have arrived at the co-ordinates
 
                         
               
               Martouf removes the recall device from Sam’s temple, and puts 
               it behind her ear
 
               
                                     MARTY
                         we must keep the device hidden from 
                         any Denizens we encounter. I will keep 
                         it on a low setting so you may continue 
                         to work through Jolinar’s memories as 
                         we go. Is that OK?
 
               
                                     SAM
                         yeah, of course

               
               Jack hands Sam her hand gun

               
                                     JACK
                         Carter

               
                                     MARTY
                         Sokar would not send someone down to 
                         Netu with weapons
 
               
                                     JACK
                         yeah, so?

               
                                     MARTY
                         if they are discovered on you the Denizens 
                         will know we were not sent by Sokar. 
                         We must attempt to blend in the hope 
                         that we will be able to move about freely 
                         as Denizens
 
               
                                     JACK
                         OK, we’ll attempt to blend. But we’re 
                         not going down there unarmed. So, how 
                         do we communicate with Teal’c
 
               
                                     MARTY
                         we believe that this device will be 
                         able to penetrate the atmosphere
 
               
               Jack takes it from him

               
                                     JACK
                         "we believe"?

               
                                     MARTY
                         we should be able to speak to Teal’c 
                         as long as the ship remains in orbit 
                         of the moon
 
               
               Jack clicks the device a few times to check it’s working

               
               They walk into the main area, and Marty prepares the pods. Daniel 
               looks out of the viewscreen
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         that’s err... that’s still a long way 
                         down
 
               
                                     MARTY
                         the pods are launched at a great velocity
 
                         
               
                                     DANIEL
                         and that’s supposed to make me feel 
                         better, or...?
 
               
                                     MARTY
                         they are equipped with heat dampening 
                         shields and anti-gravity wave generators 
                         that will slow our descent
 
               
                                     JACK
                         so, smooth sailing all the way, right?
 
                         
               
                                     TEAL’C
                         not exactly, O’Neill

               
               They get into the pods.

               
                                     TEAL’C
                         are you prepared?

               
                                     JACK
                         ah, no. Not really.

               
               Teal’c seals the pods and launches them

               
                                     TEAL’C
                         O’Neill, can you hear me?

               
                                     JACK
                         I read you, Teal’c

               
                                     TEAL’C
                         you are now entering the atmosphere... 
                         Colonel O’Neill?

                         O’Neill, can you hear me?

                         Carter? Daniel?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         over here!

               
                                     SAM
                         this way

               
                                     JACK
                         let’s move

               obviously out and didn’t have time to clean
 
               
                                     JACK
                         well, at least it’s a dry heat

               
                                     TEAL’C
                         Colonel O’Neill, respond

               
                                     JACK
                         yeah, Teal’c, we’re in one piece. Just 
                         hang tight, we’ll be in touch
 
               
                                     SAM
                         we should follow this tunnel

               
                                     MARTY
                         you remember?

                         being here has helped. This should led 
                         us to the old remains of the underground 
                         colony. It’s one of the only inhabitable 
                         places left
 
               
               They walk down the tunnel. When Jack gets up we see a human skull 
               on the ground. Slime Monster had lunch first.
 
               
               

               
               Lots of fire, dark cavern

                         is it me, or is actually getting hotter?
 
                         
               
                                     JACK
                         little of both I think

               
                                     SAM
                         there’s something up ahead

               
               At the end of the tunnel we see a larva stream flowing by. Hot!
 
               
               
                                     SAM
                         this way (indicating to her left)

               
               They walk into a huge cavern which looks out over a kind of underground 
               city thing. Big buildings, lots of fire
 
               
                                     JACK
                         well, it’s certainly not Emerald City.
 
                         
               
               The Munchkins, sorry, the Denizens enter the cavern and surround 
               our intrepid heroes.
 
               
                                     JACK
                         Howdy folks. We’re new in these parts. 
                         I know it’s hard to tell but it’s true. 
                         Carter?
 
               
               Flashback

               
               We see Binar looking extremely ugly, and leering at us. One can 
               only hope he’s looking at Rosha, and not us... Change of POV, 
               and big kissage between Rosha and Bynarr

                         Bynarr.

               
               That gets the Denizen’s attention and they start muttering amongst 
               themselves
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         what does that mean?

               
                                     SAM
                         it’s the name I couldn’t remember. (loudly) 
                         we’ve come to see Bynarr
 
               
                                     NA'ONAK

                         people of little consequence, pay no 
                         attention to us

                         who’s this guy?

               
                                     SOME GUY
                         he is Na'onak, first prime to Bynarr, 
                         Lord of Netu.
 
               
                                     SAM
                         we’ve come to see Bynarr

               
                                     NA'ONAK
                         you will not. Banish them to the surface
 
                         
               
               The Denizens start towards Jack who pulls out his gun.

               
                                     JACK
                         I don’t think so. Back off a little 
                         there, folks
 
               
               Jack is soon knocked off his feet by a hand device. Sam pulls 
               out her gun and starts shooting. The Denizens grab her.

                         take their weapons. Throw them in the 
                         pit.
 
               
               They are dragged off

               
                                     JACK

               The pit

               
               They are thrown in, and we see the trapdoor thing bolted behind 
               ‘em. Jen has flashback to kid’s TV show she used to watch (Don’t 
               you open that trapdoooorrrr, ‘cause there’s something down there)

                         better and better
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         so, this doesn’t look very encouraging
 
                         
               
               Sam looks round. There are a lot of people huddled against the 
               walls. In the background we can hear distant screams. This is 
               not good.
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         I thought Sokar wouldn’t allow weapons. 
                         So far we’ve seen a staff weapon and 
                         a hand device

                                     SAM
                         Bynarr is Sokar’s appointed leader. 
                         He is allowed one hand device and one 
                         staff weapon for his First prime.

                         why did you think Binar would be sympathetic 
                         to Jolinar?
 
               
                                     SAM
                         I was sure he was the one who helped 
                         her escape
 
               
                                     JACK

               Everyone gets the subtext. Rosha did the bad thing with Bynarr
 
               
               
                                     SAM
                         I’m sorry. Look, he’s the key. Bynarr 
                         may not have knowingly helped Jolinar, 
                         but I’m sure he must know how she escaped

               out the window [I spy...] and sees a transport beam go from the 
               moon to the planet.

               he pulls it away. Under the hood, the eyes flash. Red, not yellow.

                         Sokar’s felt is 10 times larger than 
                         we thought. He is poised to attack six 
                         system lords. He will win

                         the attack was due to take place two 
                         weeks from the time I was captured.

               He opens the door, and shoves Sam inside. He then stands outside 
               the room, leaving the door open a fraction. Bynarr walks round 
               Sam, then over to a table where he pours water into a cup

               Bynarr raises his hand, and the hand device springs into life. 
               Before he can do anything, a staff blast hits him from behind. 
               He falls to the ground, and with a flash of the eyes, dies. Na'onak

                         hanging in there

               
                                     SAM
                         there are transportation rings in Bynarr’s 
                         quarters

                         they must lead to Sokar’s place

               
                                     SAM
                         once there Jolinar managed to steal 
                         a cargo ship and escape
 
               
               There are a lot of screams from upstairs

               
                                     JACK
                         what’s goin’ on up there?

               
                                     SAM
                         Na'onak just killed Bynarr

               
                                     JACK
                         what?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         why?

               
                                     SAM
                         I have no idea. Bynarr was about to 
                         kill me, Na'onak came in and shot him 
                         with a staff weapon. He didn’t say a 
                         word, he just sent me back down here
 
                         
               
                                     JACOB
                         the Denizens will riot

               
                                     JACK
                         this could be our shot

               
                                     DANIEL
                         to do what? The rings lead to Sokar’s 
                         palace
 
               
                                     JACK

                         Jolinar was one person and she had a 
                         hand device
 
               
                                     JACOB

                         err, Jacob, you seem to be missing the 
                         whole point

                                     SAM
                         is that possible?

               
                                     JACK/DANIEL
                         what?

               
                                     SAM
                         the cargo ship has rings

               
                                     SAM
                         the cargo ship work like Stargates only 
                         over shorter distances. They transport 
                         a matter stream. If that matter stream 
                         is intercepted...
 
               
                                     JACK

                                     SAM
                         if Teal’c can manoeuvre the cargo ship 
                         into the correct position theoretically 
                         we should be able to transport aboard
 
                         
               
                                     DANIEL
                         theoretically?

               
                                     JACK
                         how does he find the right position?
 
                         
               
                                     MARTY
                         the ring mechanism has sensors that 
                         can locate other rings. Teal’c should 
                         be able to detect the co-ordinates

               The ship

               
               Teal’c is attacked by a couple of gliders. He powers engines

                         Teal’c, do you copy?

               The door opens and Some Guy walks in

               
                                     SOME GUY
                         what are you doing?

                         I’m just communicating with my friend 
                         with this little device
 
               
               Some Guy starts towards Daniel, but gets jumped by Marty (not 
               the Broca sense). Some Guy’s mate walks in to see what’s happening, 
               and gets kicked by Sam then hit by Jack. Marty kicks Some Guy’s 
               ass, then they help Dad out

                         it’s gone. The key that activates the

                         can you make it work?

                         it will take time

               Outside

               
               The Denizens are using the door as a punch bag until someone 
               has the better idea of using a pillar as a battering ram. Jen 
               wonders where they got it from, and if another room is falling 
               down now... But then she doesn’t care anymore as lots of big, 
               strong, muscular men with pecks that have been chiselled fill 
               the screen. *happy sigh*
 
               
               Inside

               
               Jack looks a little worried. Marty is still working away

               The ship

               Jack leaves the door and runs to the ring pad

                         Tealc’s not responding

                         he said he’d be there, right?

                         he’ll be there

               
               Outside

               
               Jen’s big strong men are still working hard

                         move away!

               
               They oblige and disappear. Jen not a happy camper. Neonack uses 
               the hand device and blasts it open
 
               
               Inside

                         OK

               
               But it’s too late. Na'onak and his friends walk in. Jen’s big 
               strong men are back too. Happy camper. They surround our heroes.

                         kneel before Na'onak!

               
               Everyone is forced to their knees

               
                                     NA'ONAK
                         you shall call me Na'onak no longer 
                          From this day forth I shall reclaim 
                         my rightful name...
 
               
               He pulls off his headpiece

               
               ...Apophis

               
               Not good. And on everyone’s stunned reaction, and Apophis’ flashing 
               eyes, we get the words to be continued...
