STARGATE SG1
Episode 421
"DOUBLE JEOPARDY"
By
Robert C. Cooper
PLANET
The Gate activates and SG-1 steps through. Jack, Sam, Daniel
then Teal'c. They spread out and are carrying weapons.
CLONE TEAL'C
O'Neill! Footprints and they are recent.
CLONE O'NEILL
How many?
CLONE TEAL'C
Several. Some are that of Jaffa.
Jack is zatted from behind.
CLONE CARTER
Take cover!
They are surrounded.
JAFFA
Drop your weapons and surrender!
CLONE DANIEL
They don't look like Jaffa.
CLONE CARTER
He does.
JAFFA
There is no escape. Stand and identify
yourselves.
DARIAN
They need not. I know who they are.
CLONE DANIEL
I'm sorry, have we. have we met?
DARIAN
They are warriors from a planet called
Earth. They are known as SG1. How dare
you return here?
TITLES
CLONE DANIEL
Look I think there's been a misunderstanding.
DARIAN
They are the ones who led us in the
rebellion against the servants of Heru'er.
You told us to bury our Stargate. You
said that the Gods would not return,
but that was not true. Chronus came
in his great ship. He claimed our planet,
commanded that we serve him.
CLONE CARTER
I'm sorry about what's happened but
you don't understand.
DARIAN
Why do you insult me Major Carter. Would
you have me believe you have not been
here? I know who you are. You are Daniel
Jackson, Teal'c and that is Colonel
O'Neill.
They look behind and Jack is gone.
JAFFA
Where is he? Find him! Bring them.
The Juna people run off into the forest.
A pyramid.
DARIAN
Hail Cindar. Loyal servant of Chronus.
CINDAR
Who is this?
JAFFA
They came through the Chappa'ai.
DARIAN
They are the ones who came before and
fought against the servants of Heru'er.
CINDAR
You are the shol'va Teal'c. My master
will be most pleased.
JAFFA
There is another who was with them.
He escaped into the forest.
DARIAN
He is their leader.
CINDAR
Find him.
DARIAN
We will not fail you.
House
DARIAN
Goodnight Heera.
HEERA
Goodnight husband.
DARIAN
Chronus comes tomorrow. I pray that
he will reward us kindly for having
captured the warriors from planet Earth.
I fear Chronus will be disappointed
that our search parties have been unable
to capture their leader. Is something
wrong? You behave strangely.
CloneJack comes out of the shadows pointing a gun.
Prison
CLONE CARTER
That Darian guy called me Major.
CLONE DANIEL
Well this was a major screw up.
CLONE CARTER
Well how could we know?
CLONE TEAL'C
There is always the risk that planets
we explore may be occupied by Goa'uld
forces.
CLONE DANIEL
Yes, but one we've actually been to
before?
CLONE CARTER
Do you think it's a bad sign Colonel
O'Neill hasn't tried to communicate
yet?
CLONE TEAL'C
I do not. I do not believe we should
attempt to communicate with him either.
The Goa'uld may have means of tracking
our signal.
CLONE CARTER
Mission time's approaching 8 hours.
What are we gonna do?
CLONE DANIEL
Well we can't tell them the truth.
House.
DARIAN
I do not understand.
CLONE O'NEILL
I know how you feel.
DARAIN
There are two of you?
CLONE O'NEILL
Ahh, it's more complicated than that.
DARIAN
Please, do not hurt my wife.
CLONE O'NEILL
I'm not gonna hurt either one of you.
I just want someone to explain to me
what happened here before I arrived.
DARIAN
Do you mean the first time you were
here?
CLONE O'NEILL
Mmm mm (Nods while drinking)
DARIAN
You came through the Chappa'ai. You
said that our God, Heru'er was a false
God. You organised a rebellion. With
your help we banished Heru'er's jaffa.
You said that we were free and the false
Gods would not bother us again. We did
live in peace for a time but eventually
Chronus came in his ship and declared
that our planet now fell under his domain.
He commanded that we worship him.
CLONE O'NEILL
Alright, look. Neither one of those
guys is a God okay.
DARIAN
I will not believe you this time. The
punishment my people suffered for our
prior indiscretion was my fault. I asked
them to follow you and they were forced
to pay dearly for it.
CLONE O'NEILL
It was not an indiscretion. It was the
right thing to do no matter how it turned
out.
DARIAN
Do what you will. Tomorrow Chronus comes
and you and the rest of your kind will
face the consequences.
CLONE O'NEILL
Yeah, whatever.
DARIAN
There will be no escape.
CLONE O'NEILL
Close your eyes. (They look at him)
Close your eyes please.
DARIAN
How long are we to remain like this?
Jack has gone when he opens his eyes.
Pyramid.
A stream of matter is transported to the pyramid from the ship.
Chronus arrives in the pyramid.
CINDAR
My Lord. Your presence honours me.
CHRONUS
Tell me of the intruders from Earth.
CINDAR
There were three. And the Jaffa Teal'c.
Shol'va. The one called O'Neill has
thus far eluded capture.
The forest.
DARIAN
Warriors of Juna. We are called before
Chronus.
They follow. One man lags behind and covers a hand half buried
in leaves.
Pyramid
CHRONUS
Warriors of Juna. For your loyalty you
shall be rewarded.
The camera pans across and Jack is disguised as a Juna warrior.
CHRONUS
Bring in the prisoners.
Clone DANIEL, SAM and TEAL'C are brought in and forced on their
knees.
CHRONUS
The treaty between the system Lords
and the Asgard does not protect you
here. I once told you if you were ever
at my mercy I would not be kind. You
will not be fortunate to die as quickly
as your father did by my hand. Shol'va!
(To Teal'c) Your fate will be much worse.
You will all pay for your sins. (To
Darian)Come forward.
You lead your people in my name?
DARIAN
I do my Lord.
Cindar offers him a staff weapon.
CHRONUS
Take it.
Chronus nods towards Daniel and he is picked up and brought forward.
CHRONUS
In honour of your God, kill him. Hashack
Kree! Kill him!
Darian turns and raises the staff weapon. Daniel turns and sees
Jack and shakes hi head. When he hesitates, Jaffa surround the
Juan warriors. He then primes the staff for firing. Daniel closes
his eyes.
Darian fires and Daniel is decapitated. It's the clone and everyone
looks shocked including Chronus.
SGC
TECH
Receiving IDC. Sir we're receiving the
signal on the IDC frequency but this
is not an authorised SGC code.
CARTER
It says Comtraya.
HAMMOND
What does it mean?
O'NEILL
Ahh, it's kinda like shalome or aloha,
that stuff.
TEAL'C
It was the greeting used by the artificial
life form Harlan on PX3989.
HAMMOND
The one who duplicated you?
O'NEILL
Yes, Sir please don't open the Gate,
please.
CARTER
I admit he was annoying but he wasn't
a serious threat.
HAMMOND
Open the iris.
They go to the gateroom. Harlan comes through the Gate.
HARLAN
Ohh ohh I have no weapons.
HAMMOND
Stand down.
HARLAN
Oh thank you for opening the doorway
device that you call iris.
O'NEILL
Just for the record, I was opposed.
Harlan's face falls.
HAMMOND
Welcome to Earth. I'm General Hammond,
leader of this facility.
HARLAN
Comtraya. Yes, I have heard so much
about you.
CARTER
What's wrong Harlan?
HARLAN
Oh please yes, it is a very big emergency.
You must help you.
Pyramid
CHRONUS
What are you? Speak! Speak or I'll shall
have you torn apart. Bring them to the
ship. Find the other one!
JAFFA
Yes my Lord.
SGC Briefing room.
HARLAN
I told them not to go. I begged them.
Going through the Stargate is dangerous,
very very dangerous. You told me all
about the Goa'uld, you did. You must
help, yes, no?
O'NEILL
Harlan!
HARLAN
Yes?
O'NEILL
Sit!
HARLAN
Yes.
O'NEILL
Now, from the beginning.
HARLAN
The beginning, yes. They were not happy,
they could not stop being you. The portable
power pack you invented..
CARTER
The robot me?
HARLAN
Oh it was ingenious. Even Hubald would
have been impressed. I have one in my
chest now, would you like to see it?
CARTER
Yes.
O'NEILL
No! You can show her later.
HARLAN
Later yes. Help first.
TEAL'C
What type of help do you require?
HARLAN
Oh not me. You. (He puts his hand on
Teal'c's leg and then takes it off quickly.
LOL) I mean the others.
HAMMOND
What exactly has happened?
HARLAN
Well they have not returned.
CARTER
Where are they?
HARLAN
Away, they go away.
CARTER
Are you saying our robot selves are
going through the Stargate on missions?
HARLAN
Missions, yes.
O'NEILL
What for?
HARLAN
I do not really know. What is it that
you do?
HAMMOND
Colonel O'Neill, it was my understanding
that the robots agreed to bury their
Stargate and never leave their planet.
O'NEILL
Yes Sir.
HAMMOND
Then it would seem your robot counterpart
is equally as good at following orders
as you.
HARLAN
They have always returned after 24 hours.
For safety. The power packs only last
for 48 hours and they must be recharged.
CARTER
How overdue are they?
HARLAN
16 hours. They do not have much time
left. Ohhhh.
Planet.
Darian's house. He walks in looking shocked.
HEERA
What is it? What has happened?
DARIAN
It was unlike anything I have ever seen.
Chronus brought the prisoners before
us. I was given a weapon of the Gods.
To demonstrate my loyalty, Chronus instructed
me to kill the one called Daniel Jackson.
HEERA
And so?
DARIAN
I fired the weapon. What happened next
was unholy. I have seen men decapitated
in battle, what I saw was not human.
That was not the most disturbing thing.
HEERA
What was?
DARIAN
Chronus was as shocked by the fact that
Daniel Jackson was not human as the
rest of us. He sent us away immediately.
HEERA
But how could a true God be surprised
by anything?
DARIAN
That is what I ask myself.
SGC Briefing room
O'NEILL
General, I really don't think we're
responsible for retrieving these robots.
HARLAN
But you must. They are you.
O'NEILL
Not me they're not.
HARLAN
Where is Doctor Jackson? He will help.
CARTER
He's on a mission at the moment.
HARLAN
Ohhh you do that so much.
HAMMOND
The fact is I don't want to risk any
of my people for the sake of some androids
you created without authorisation. However.
HARLAN
However, yes?
HAMMOND
I am worried that information about
this facility could potentially fall
into the wrong hands.
HARLAN
Ah an excellent point.
CARTER
Sirs if I may, our robots are really
so much like us they probably couldn't
resist the chance to use the Gate to
explore. I think then we can also assume
that they would guard any top-secret
information as closely as we would.
Besides they don't have our IDC codes
so they can't give those away.
HAMMOND
Colonel O'Neill, if you don't want to
take this on, I'm not going to make
it an order.
O'NEILL
Thank you Sir.
HARLAN
But I have grown accustomed. I cannot
go on without them.
CARTER
Sorry.
HARLAN
Then I shall just have to help myself.
Control Room.
Harlan is picking glyphs off a computer.
HARLAN
This one. This one. That one. This one.
That one and this one.
CARTER
Hmm.
O'NEILL
Hmm what?
CARTER
That's what I thought. P2X 729. We've
been to this planet before.
TEAL'C
We did engage in battle with the Jaffa
of Heru'er. And liberated the people
of Juna.
CARTER
That's right. We told them to bury the
Gate after we were gone. Are you sure
you've got the right address?
HARLAN
I could do a full diagnostic of my systems
but it might be quicker to just dial
the address.
HAMMOND
Proceed.
CARTER
Yes Sir.
Planet
CloneJack is wiping the paint of his face and putting his sunglasses
on when the Gate powers up. The surrounding Jaffa look up.
SGC
TECH
Chevron 6 encoded. Chevron 7 locked.
The Gate engages.
CARTER
The Gate isn't buried.
TEAL'C
It is possible the Goa'uld travelled
to the planet by ship in order to reinstate
command.
CARTER
Heru'er is dead, the Naquada mine was
dry, those people didn't pose any threat.
TEAL'C
Another Goa'uld may have claimed the
planet for different reasons.
O'NEILL
Why?
TEAL'C
Possibly strategic military position.
CARTER
We told them they'd be okay.
HAMMOND
Send a probe. Let's find out.
CARTER
Yes Sir.
Planet.
The Jaffa are being zatted and kicked about.
SGC
CARTER
Receiving MALP telemetry.
The camera pans. Clone Jack comes into view.
O'NEILL
Woah. I'll never get used to that.
HAMMOND
This is General Hammond of the SGC.
CLONE O'NEILL
Hey George, how you doing? Who else
you got there with you?
HAMMOND
Major Carter, Teal'c, Colonel O'Neill
and Harlan.
CLONE O'NEILL
Harlan! I told you to stay away from
Earth.
O'NEILL
Yeah well I told you to bury your gate.
CLONE O'NEILL
Well you seem to think that solves a
lot of problems don'tcha?
HAMMOND
SG1 was following my orders.
HARLAN
I'm sorry. I did not know what else
to do. Please return to our planet.
CLONE O'NEILL
I can't do that just yet.
He turns around and sees Darian come out of the bushes.
DARIAN
Do not shoot. I wish to help you.
CLONE O'NEILL
Why?
DARIAN
I now believe you spoke the truth about
everything. Including the Gods.
CLONE O'NEILL
Why should I believe you?
DARIAN
You must trust me as I must trust you.
I am sorry about the one called Daniel.
CLONE O'NEILL
Get over here.
DARIAN
To whom are you speaking?
CARTER
That's Darian.
CLONE O'NEILL
Earth. George Hammond and the other
SG1.
O'NEILL
Hey! You're the other, pal.
CLONE O'NEILL
Do we really have time for semantics
here?
HAMMOND
What exactly is the current situation?
CLONE O'NEILL
Our Daniel is dead.
HARLAN
Oh my.
CLONE O'NEILL
Carter and Teal'c have been captured
by Chronus. He's got a ship in orbit
and his jaffa are everywhere. So it's
just Darian and me.
DARIAN
Please, help us.
HAMMOND
You have a go. SG-1 is on its way.
CLONE O'NEILL
Thank's George. Harlan, you stay there.
Chronus' ship
GOA'ULD WOMAN
They appear to be a fascinating technology.
CHRONUS
Find out how they work. I wish to know
all the information they contain.
GOA'ULD WOMAN
My pleasure.
Planet, at the Gate. Jack, Sam and Teal'c come through and are
met by Darian.
DARIAN
This way.
They walk along.
DARIAN
They look very much like you.
CARTER
We know.
O'NEILL
Listen, for what it's worth, I'm sorry
about what's happened here.
CLONE O'NEILL
Oh I'm sure that makes him feel better.
O'NEILL
Hey. What the hell do you think you're
doing?
CLONE O'NEILL
Same thing you do. Only better.
O'NEILL
What does that mean?
CLONE O'NEILL
Better? It means bet-ter, stronger,
faster.
O'NEILL
You're not me and you don't work for
the Air Force.
CLONE O'NEILL
No. But that doesn't mean I can't do
the job.
O'NEILL
What job?
CLONE O'NEILL
Explore the universe. Fight the Goa'uld.
O'NEILL
Oh what, like now?
CLONE O'NEILL
Oh you made this mess.
O'NEILL
What we did was help these people.
CLONE O'NEILL
Oh come on, I know you better than that.
You screwed up and now you're embarrassed.
O'NEILL
Well that's not the point.
CLONE O'NEILL
And like I'm gonna spend my eternity
on that lame ass planet? Sheesh.
O'NEILL
You gave me your word.
CLONE O'NEILL
Oh is this the first time you've lied
to yourself? I told you what you wanted
to hear. Besides, what were you gonna
do? Destroy me?
O'NEILL
I might have.
CLONE O'NEILL
Alright come on bring it on flyboy.
Let's go. Come on.
O'NEILL
Oh you little.
They start to fight.
CARTER
Sirs. (They look up.)As much as I would
like to see how this plays out, don't
we have something more important to
do?
DARIAN
What can so few of us possibly do?
CLONE O'NEILL
Couldn't get Hammond to spring for more
troops?
O'NEILL
I didn't ask. This is our problem.
CARTER
I guess we can't expect any help from
the rest of the Juan people?
DARIAN
No.
TEAL'C
We convinced your people to oppose the
Goa'uld once before.
DARIAN
Most, including myself, had never seen
an actual God before. Heru'er had not
come to Juna for many generations. And
when Chronus arrived and displayed his
great power he instilled much fear.
The people are terrified.
TEAL'C
Then we must demonstrate to your people
once and for all that Chronus is not
a God.
CLONE O'NEILL
I suppose you have a plan to back up
that rather bold yet cryptic statement?
O'NEILL
Yes. Yes we do.
A Jaffa horn sounds.
DARIAN
It is not safe to stay here. The forests
are heavily patrolled.
CLONE O'NEILL
We're not done pal.
O'NEILL
I so own you.
Chronus' Ship
Clone Teal'c and Sam are imprisoned in cages made of lasers.
GOA'ULD WOMAN
There is a device embedded in the chest
that sensors indicate may be a power
unit. Current status: Deactivated. Can
it be reactivated? (To CloneTeal'c)
Do you feel pain? Affirmative. (To Clone
Carter) Do you sympathise with him?
CLONE TEAL'C
No!
GOA'ULD WOMAN
Both units appear to show concern for
each other. Tell me how to reactivate
this one's power unit. Then tell me
which one of you would like to feel
sympathy and which one pain?
House
CLONE O'NEILL
The only rings I've seen were in that
pyramid.
TEAL'C
There is a way into the main chamber.
CLONE O'NEILL
Yeah, by putting the robot at risk.
O'NEILL
Well fine, I'll do it.
CLONE O'NEILL
It's alright, I can handle it.
DARIAN
This is very strange to me.
CARTER
This kind of stuff happens to us all
the time.
CLONE O'NEILL
So how many jaffa are we gonna have
to deal with on that ship?
TEAL'C
As many as one thousand. But that is
not the problem.
O'NEILL
What is the problem?
TEAL'C
The rings must be activated from within
the ship.
O'NEILL
Now see, you didn't mention that before.
TEAL'C
We had very little time to formulate
this plan O'Neill.
CLONE O'NEILL
It's alright. Carter and Teal'c might
be able to help. The other one's.
O'NEILL
How are they gonna know what to do and
when?
CLONE O'NEILL
I can communicate with them. I've been
maintaining radio silence to protect
my location.
O'NEILL
I don't see a radio.
CLONE O'NEILL
They're internal.
CARTER
So you can actually send a signal.
CLONE O'NEILL
Wait. Excuse me. (He taps his chest)
A little static. They said they'd do
what they can.
O'NEILL
What about the Jaffa on the ship?
TEAL'C
Once we have reached the pel'tac, the
other levels can be sealed off. Chronus
will have very few jaffa remaining for
support.
CARTER
What do we with the other jaffa once
we've dealt with Chronus and taken over
the ship?
TEAL'C
Offer them freedom.
Chronus' Ship.
GOA'ULD WOMAN
My Lord. The machine that resembles
the jaffa Teal'c requests an audience
with you.
CHRONUS
For what purpose?
GOA'ULD WOMAN
He claims he wishes to bargain with
you for the freedom of the one called
Carter.
CHRONUS
What have you learned so far?
GOA'ULD WOMAN
They have been unwilling to co-operate
in the analysis however, their behaviour
is curiously similar to that of humans.
Perhaps you would be more successful in extracting the necessary
information?
CHRONUS
Bring the one that resembles Teal'c
before me.
Pyramid
CINDAR
Report?
JAFFA
The intruder has been captured.
Clone Jack is brought in.
Chronus' Ship.
Clone Carter is being tortured.
GOA'ULD WOMAN
Tell me how to operate the power core
on that unit and I will stop damaging
you.
CLONE CARTER
It's simple. Just touch the two crystals
on opposite sides of the converter.
GOA'ULD WOMAN
Interesting.
Pyramid
CINDAR
Chronus will be pleased.
DARIAN
Truth be told, I do not think Chronus
will be pleased at all.
HE shoots Cindar and Clone Jack shoots all the other Jaffa. Real
Jack, Sam and Teal'c help to finish them off. Clone Jack is hit
by a staff blast.
O'NEILL
You all right?
DARIAN
I am.
CLONE O'NEILL
I'm fine too. Thanks for your concern.
O'NEILL
Are you alright?
CLONE O'NEILL
A little gas. Yeah, got gas.
Chronus' ship
CHRONUS
What is it you wish to tell me in exchange
for the other one's freedom?
CLONE TEAL'C
I only wish to seek revenge for the
death of my father.
He gets a staff and fires at Chronus who is protected by his
hand device. Clone Teal'c then grabs Chronus and starts to strangle
him.
Ship's prison
GOA'ULD WOMAN
Is it now active?
CLONE CARTER
In a way.
GOA'ULD WOMAN
What does this mean?
CLONE CARTER
I designed it with special sensors to
detect when someone was tampering with
the power core. Situations just like
this. It's a self-destruct mode.
Clone Carter covers her face and the power core explodes.
Corridor
JAFFA2
Go.
Chronus' bridge
Clone Teal'c is still strangling him and another jaffa comes
in and shoots Teal's in the back.
The Rings
Clone Carter zats the jaffa and transports up Carter, O'Neill
and Teal'c.
O'NEILL
Nice work.
CLONE CARTER
Teal'c's in trouble.
TEAL'C
Where?
CLONE CARTER
He's on the pel'tac with Chronus.
Teal'c leaves.
O'NEILL
We need to seal off this level.
CARTER
Apparently there's a control centre
somewhere that services all the doors.
Kinda like a circuit panel.
Chronus' bridge
CHRONUS
Jaffa Kree!
He looks down on clone Teal'c ready to shoot him. Teal'c comes
in and zats the guard, holding him in front of him while shooting
at Chronus. Chronus repels the zat blasts with his hand device
and shoots at Teal'c and the jaffa with the staff weapon. Teal'c
goes down.
Corridor.
CLONE CARTER
I've got your six.
Carter runs to the panel and opens it. Jack shoots the jaffa
that come along.
Chronus' bridge.
Chronus goes to Teal'c and goes to pull out his symbiote.
Corridor
CARTER
The crystals are protected by a force
shield.
CLONE CARTER
Switch with me I'll do it.
They swap.
CLONE CARTER
What do I do?
CARTER
Pull the green crystals out. The doors
should close and lock automatically.
Jack and Sam continue to shoot the jaffa as Clone Sam pulls out
the crystals.
Chronus' bridge.
Chronus is pulling out Teal'c's symbiote when he is hit in the
back by a staff blast, then another and finally a third. He falls
to the ground and his eyes glow and then stop.
CLONE TEAL'C
For our father.
He then falls over and dies.
Teal'c lies back down.
Corridor
The doors are coming down as Clone Sam pulls out the crystals.
O'NEILL
That's it.
Clone Sam falls to the ground and dies. Sam kneels next to her
and looks at Jack.
Pyramid
DARIAN
You were very badly damaged.
CLONE O'NEILL
Yes.
DARIAN
But you are a machine. Can you not be
mended?
CLONE O'NEILL
Possibly. Darian, I'm running out of
energy. I will shut down soon.
DARIAN
I promise, you will never be forgotten.
Jack beams down in the rings.
O'NEILL
Go tell your people Chronus is dead.
If they still think he's a God, have
`em come take a look.
CLONE O'NEILL
Carter, Teal'c?
O'NEILL
Yours don't look so good. The real ones,
they're okay.
CLONE O'NEILL
Are we still so far from real to you?
O'NEILL
No. I guess not.
CLONE O'NEILL
Then I believe we are done.
He closes his eyes and dies.
The ship comes down over the pyramid to take it up.
THE END.
