"EVOLUTION II"
By
Peter DeLuise
HAMMOND'S OFFICE
Jack and Hammond are there.
HAMMOND
The CIA operative in Honduras, an Agent
Burke believes he knows where Dr Jackson
and Dr Lee were taken.
O'NEILL
Burke?
HAMMOND
You know him?
O'NEILL
Yes, I do.
HAMMOND
Anything I should know about, he's the
only agent on this.
O'NEILL
We're stuck with him regardless, right?
HAMMOND
Right.
O'NEILL
Nothing you should know about.
HAMMOND
I see. He's requested that you participate
in the extraction. The President has
green lit the op. There's a C130 waiting
for you at Peterson. It leaves for Honduras
in 2 hours.
O'NEILL
Yes Sir.
CARTER'S LAB
Sam is fiddling with something when Jack walks in.
CARTER
Sir?
O'NEILL
I'm going after Daniel.
CARTER
Good.
O'NEILL
This other mission.
CARTER
Shouldn't be a problem Sir. When do
you leave?
O'NEILL
Now.
CARTER
Good luck.
O'NEILL
You too.
He leaves.
JUNGLE
The kidnappers bring Daniel back and take Lee.
LEE
I don't know anything, I don't know
anything!
REBELS
Apúrese
Daniel lies on the floor of the hut.
BRIEFING ROOM.
Sam, Teal'c, Jacob, Bra'tac and Hammond are there.
JACOB
We've confirmed that Anubis has a base
on Tartarus. A powerful sensor array
prevents anyone from approaching the
planet unnoticed. The Stargate on Tartarus
is inside the structure and has a powerful
force field protecting it.
HAMMOND
We need to know how Anubis created this
new soldier, confirm what we believe
his intentions are and if possible,
stop him. Any ideas?
CARTER
Even if we could defeat the force field,
we have to assume the Stargate would
be heavily guarded.
TEAL'C
We must gain access to the planet by
somehow temporarily shutting down the
sensor array.
CARTER
I agree. The question is how?
SELMAK
I will walk through the Stargate.
HAMMOND
Selmak?
SELMAK
Yes.
HAMMOND
Come again?
SELMAK
I will wear the armour of Anubis' assassin.
According to your account on Ramius'
planet, it passed through the force
field trap.
BRA'TAC
But at what physical cost? We have no
way of knowing.
CARTER
The force field around that Stargate
has got to be more powerful than the
one we used.
JACOB
I'm sorry kid; I'm with Selmak on this
one. He'll keep me alive. Does anyone
else have a better idea? Once I've deactivated
the sensor array a scout ship can then
approach the planet. Radioactive isotopes
taken before hand will permit us to
move around freely without being detected
by internal sensors inside the base.
HAMMOND
What's your exit plan?
BRA'TAC
The scout ship. During the mission,
I will conceal it in one of the planet's
many low lying chasms, powering down
to further avoid detection.
HAMMOND
Major, you have a go.
HONDURAS BAR
A waiter places a bottle on the table in front f Jack and says
something in Spanish. Jack replies in Spanish. A man then sits
down.
WAITER
Estás bien? ( are you fine ?) Jack:
Sí, gracias. ( Yes, thanks )
BURKE
You don't look very happy to see me.
I would have given anything to see your
face when you heard my name. Hey, it's
okay man, it's okay.
O'NEILL
It's not okay. I've got 48 hours to
find my friend before he's killed. Just
tell me what you know.
BURKE
Okay, all business, all the time. I
can dig that station. This was the last
place Daniel Jackson was seen before
he hired a guide named Duran to take
him into the jungle. And a short time
after that he was snatched by anti-Honduran
extremists.
O'NEILL
And you know this how?
BURKE
It's how this particular splinter group
does business. Last year they kidnapped
an important engineer working on the
Cohune(?) river dam. Big American contract.
Insurance pays off and they finance
their little war against the Government
with the ransom.
O'NEILL
This engineer, did he live?
BURKE
Yeah, he did. Sometimes they don't.
O'NEILL
What about weapons?
BURKE
okay this is colourful. Honduras and
Nicaragua are in the middle of a territorial
dispute. I know what you're thinking,
when are they not? So because of this,
anyone in the I Hate Honduras fan club
can seek shelter behind the Nicaraguan
borders and buy guns. What kind of guns
AK's, AK's for days. Nicaragua gets
their stuff directly from Russia now
but in the 80's they inherited all the
old stuff from Cuba. How do you like
that? They let us fight Cuba from their
shores, we got our asses kicked and
Cuba gives them the guns. You know we
could get shot at by an AK 47 that was
fired at the Bay of Pigs attack?
O'NEILL
You been down here too long Burke.
BURKE
Hey you think so. You know why I got
this crappy posting in this sinkhole.
O'NEILL
No. Here's comes the blame. Are you
gonna try and blame me now?
BURKE
Yeah, I do. You could have stood up
for me. Hilary left me. What do you
think happens in a friendly fire incident
when one team member gets killed and
the other doesn't vouch for him?
O'NEILL
I didn't see what happened to Woods.
I told them what I knew. I wasn't gonna
lie. I told them what I knew.
BURKE
I'm not talking about lying. I'm talking
about my head, you, me, Woods, we were
buddies man. You knew me.
O'NEILL
I told them what I knew.
BURKE
Well you didn't tell them enough. And
now you're here stuck in my part of
the world. You need me. And I'm calling
it on this one.
O'NEILL
I don't think so.
BURKE
I know how to get over the borders;
I know where these rebels operate. Oh
yeah, I'm in charge.
O'NEILL
No. You're just the guide.
BURKE
Just the guide. Is that what you think
of me now?
O'NEILL
That's right. You're not so gone you
don't understand the need for a clear
chain of command are you?
BURKE
You want to know how gone I am?
He gets up and walks off.
WAITER
quieres algo más señor( do you want
anything else, sir? ) Jack: si, necessito
un guia. ( Yes, I need a guide )
WAITER
I am a guide. This? It's just my day
job.
JUNGLE
The men drag Lee back into the hut.
LEE
I never thought I would die like this.
DANIEL
Ah, you're not dead yet.
LEE
I'm sorry Daniel. I couldn't take it.
I told them.
DANIEL
What? What'd you tell them?
LEE
Everything.
HUT.
Raphael opens the artefact and it switches on.
GATEROOM
Jacob is being suited up.
SILER
How's that Sir?
JACOB
Pretty good. Reminds me of my old football
days.
SILER
They had helmets back in those days,
Sir?
JACOB
Funny.
HAMMOND
Jacob, you okay in there?
JACOB
It's surprisingly light. I guess it's
time.
HAMMOND
Good luck.
JACOB
Thank you George.
They place the helmet on his head and he walks through the Stargate.
TARTARUS
Jacob steps through the Gate and walks down the ramp.
THOTH
You. Come with me.
They walk off to a lab.
THOTH
Sit.
Jacob sits.
THOTH
You seem damaged.
CARGO SHIP
Sam and Bra'tac sit at the front and Teal'c stands behind.
CARTER
Come on Dad.
BRA'TAC
The array is yet to shut down. We are
helpless to act. Even if we were to
attempt secure communication.
CARTER
We would have to leave our position
from the dark side of this moon making
us visible to their sensors.
TARTARUS LAB
Anubis walks in.
ANUBIS
Thoth.
THOTH
Lord Anubis. I was not expecting you.
ANUBIS
Tell me how this one has fared.
THOTH
This one has just returned my Lord.
I need time to finish my preliminary
analysis before I can make a proper
report.
ANUBIS
It can wait. There is a remote probe
malfunctioning. It requires your attention.
THOTH
yes my Lord.
Anubis and Thoth walk off.
CARGO SHIP
CARTER
So many things could have gone wrong.
He's so stubborn.
TEAL'C
Perhaps it is time to consider. Something
beeps.
BRA'TAC
The sensor array is powered down. No
doubt your father's stubbornness.
They fly to the planet. Sam talks on a communication device and
Jacob replies the same way.
CARTER
Dad we're on the way.
JACOB
Good. When you touch down, proceed to
the exhaust port assemblage. I think
I found a way to get you in.
CARTER
Copy.
JUNGLE.
Jack and guide are moving through the jungle.
O'NEILL
All right, hold up. This is it.
GUIDE
As I told you, there is nothing here.
BURKE
There is this well in the middle of
nowhere. Standard US military boot tread
all around. Make a wish.
He drops a coin in.
BURKE
What took you so long? How hard could
it be to track their GPS locators? I'm
just kidding. I've only been here a
couple of minutes myself.
O'NEILL
Change your mind?
BURKE
In a manner of speaking. Vete, Regrésate
a la cantina ( Go, come back to the
bar )
GUIDE
4000, muchas gracias señor. ( 4000,
tank you very much, sir )
JACK
un momentito ( a moment )
BURKE
This is the end of the road, man. I
mean you didn't think these guys were
gonna make it easy on you did you? I'll
take you where you need to go.
O'NEILL
For old time's sake?
BURKE
You know, I took an emotional inventory
and I realised that I have some issues.
Thought maybe we could put our petty
differences aside on this one. You're
gonna need me when this one goes down.
Come on, give me a chance, I won't let
you down.
BURKE
Now we're talking sports fans. Okay
my name is Burke and I'll be your guide,
today we'll be looking at indigenous
vegetation of Central America. Watch
your step ladies, we're not in Minnesota.
O'NEILL
Easy.
JUNGLE HUT
Daniel is tied to a chair.
RAPHAEL
If you value the life of your friend
you will tell me what I want to know.
Your friend told me this device may
be the origin of the fountain of youth
myth.
DANIEL
Maybe.
RAPHAEL
How does it work?
DANIEL
I don't know. Look you grabbed us 5
minutes after we found it.
RAPHAEL
Who is this Telchak?
DANIEL
He's a mythological figure, a Mayan
god that may or may not have lived here
thousands of years ago.
RAPHAEL
So this device is many thousands of
years old?
DANIEL
Possibly.
RAPHAEL
And this Mayan god brought this device
to his temple for what purpose?
Daniel hesitates and Raphael hits him.
DANIEL
To hide it, to use it, I don't know.
RAPHAEL
Use it. On whom?
DANIEL
People. Mayan people.
RAPHAEL
And what would it do to them?
DANIEL
Look the research I used to find it
just gave a cryptic warning that the
device was dangerous, even harmful.
That's all I know.
RAPHAEL
I do not think it is so harmful. I have
never in my life felt as strong as I
do right now.
DANIEL
You turned it on.
RAPHAEL
Yes.
DANIEL
Turn it off; you don't know what you're
dealing with. The effects of the device
may be unstable. It's very dangerous.
Look, it's beyond our comprehension,
turn it off.
RAPHAEL
You're lying.
MAN
What if he isn't? The device is cursed.
Raphael, we should turn it off.
RAPHAEL
Turn it off? Do you not feel different
as well?
MAN
I do, and it scares me. Please, Raphael,
if you will not turn it off, I will.
Raphael shoots him.
TARTARUS
Jacob is opening some doors.
CARTER
What happened?
JACOB
I fooled the exhaust port into thinking
it needed to purge the system.
CARTER
I mean with the sensor array.
JACOB
I got held up. Help me get this off.
HONDURAS
BURKE
Rebels move around a lot. They're self
taught bush fighters. (something) see
them tend to the farms right now. Those
who don't are ex military. Most likely
holding up about 20 clicks north west
of Okata .(?)
They stop. Burke moves on and Jack follows. They find Daniel's
guide.
BURKE
Well, this wasn't supposed to be on
the tour. At least we know we're on
the right track.
Jack checks his pulse and he moves.
O'NEILL
Arrghhh!
GUIDE
I've been shot. Jack checks.
GUIDE
Arrh. No no no no no.
O'NEILL
You have been shot.
GUIDE
Si.
BURKE
A rescue should be here in about an
hour.
GUIDE
I've been lying here for days. What's
another hour?
O'NEILL
Who did this?
GUIDE
malditos, malditos ( damn, damn )Que
mueran del dolor del culo.(the translation
must be: They die from pain in the ass
¿?)
O'NEILL
All right. We're looking for two scientists.
GUIDE
Dr Jackson? They have them. They went
north. Across the border. Go.
BURKE
We're not just gonna leave you.
GUIDE
Sure you can, Senor. Help will be here
soon. Don't worry; this is not the first
time I've been shot. Save your friends.
Please. They owe me lots of money.
O'NEILL
Ah.
They leave.
GUIDE
I love American gum. Good guys.
TARTARUS
Thoth comes looking for Jacob and sees he is gone. He goes to
Anubis.
ANUBIS
Speak.
THOTH
Lord Anubis. One of the Cal warriors
is missing.
ANUBIS
What is the reason for this behaviour?
THOTH
There was damage but I believe our method
of governing the symbiote mind is still
flawed
ANUBIS
Unacceptable. Determine the origin of
the flaw and report back to me.
THOTH
Yes my Lord.
HONDURAS
Jack and Burke continue to walk through the jungle.
BURKE
He moved, I killed him; it was as simple
as that. Thought he was a hostile.
O'NEILL
It's all history Burke. Now's not really
the time.
BURKE
I know we were out of position; I wanted
to cut the angle down to cover you as
you approached the objective. I guess
Woods was doing the same.
O'NEILL
So you both took it upon yourselves
to improvise at the same time.
BURKE
That's right.
TARTARUS
Jacob, Sam and Teal'c are walking down the corridors. They see
a super soldier.
JACOB
That's the third one I've seen.
CARTER
How many do you think Anubis has?
JACOB
There's no way of telling yet. I'm just
guessing at least a handful; the lab
I was in was made to service several.
They move into a lab.
JACOB
Symbiote holding tanks.
CARTER
All empty.
TEAL'C
This one is not.
They walk over and we see a queen as seen before in Season 6
Cure.
HONDURAS
Daniel is tying his shoe around the wooden plank wall.
LEE
Shouldn't we at least wait till night
time?
DANIEL
I don't think we have that long.
LEE
We won't get a hundred yards before
they kill us.
DANIEL
Yeah, if we stay they'll definitely
kill us. I saw the short term affects
of that device. I know what a sarcophagus
does to a person's sanity and this is
far more powerful. I don't think we
want to stick around to find out what
long term exposure does.
He pulls a plank off.
ANOTHER HUT
The device is on next to the dead man and he opens his eyes.
TARTARUS
CARTER
Judging by the number of holding tanks
in this room, Anubis must be planning
to have the Queen spawn thousands of
Goa'uld. But why. A symbiote is spawned
with the genetic memory of the maternal
bloodline. They're ego maniacal and
power hungry. It's not exactly a good
combination for a foot soldier.
JACOB
That's right. But look at this. This
Queen, whoever she is, must be in league
with Anubis. She's preparing for a spawn
cycle yet her brainwave pattern is minimal.
She has no intention of passing on her
genetic memory. The symbiotes will be
blank slates.
TEAL'C
Much like Egeria on Pangar.
JACOB
And Anubis will be free to imprint them
however he see fit. No free will, they're
drones. They make the perfect soldier.
Deadly. Fearless. Unquestioning loyalty.
CARTER
But this is too similar to what happened
on Pangar to be a coincidence. How did
Anubis find out about Egeria?
TEAL'C
Jonas Quinn. Anubis must have acquired
this information when he scanned Jonas
Quinn's mind.
JACOB
If Anubis had any designs on creating
a drone soldier that information would
have been the final piece of the puzzle.
TEAL'C
This Queen must not be permitted to
spawn again.
JACOB
Teal'c's right.
CARTER
Okay. We take what time we have remaining
and try to find out what else Anubis
is up to. Then we detonate the C4 and
get out of here.
They place C4 under the tank.
HONDURAS JUNGLE
BURKE
Should be just a couple of clicks now.
How can you trust me?
O'NEILL
I don't.
BURKE
Think I asked you to come down here
so I could shoot you too?
O'NEILL
Why would I think that?
BURKE
Forget I said anything.
O'NEILL
You've had plenty of opportunity before
now.
BURKE
What's worse is that you think I'm just
incompetent.
O'NEILL
For crying out loud Burke.
BURKE
So you're perfectly willing to go into
a hot situation with me watching your
back?
O'NEILL
I have no choice. And I was thinking
of sending you in first, me watching
your back.
BURKE
You don't want to know the truth? I
mean, come on, you really don't want
to know? Man, it wasn't my fault. I
mean I didn't choose, I just reacted.
It stinks, the whole damn thing stinks.
You want to know what really happened,
fine. I'll tell you. Woods was ghosting
us, he sold out, he was no good. He
was sending out a rogue transmission,
he was giving our position away. Woods
realised that I was on to him and turned
his weapon on me. And I just, I just
reacted.
O'NEILL
Why didn't you come forward with this?
BURKE
Come on man, you remember how close
we were. The wives and the beers and
the barbeques. I couldn't do that to
Cindy. It comes out Woods was a traitor;
she doesn't see a penny of that pension,
a month away from his retirement. Woods
wasn't gonna retire; he was setting
himself up as a mercenary for that warlord.
He made his choice, he`s gone and that's
all that matters
HUT
Daniel prises the plank off and they hear gunfire.
The dead man is alive and shooting his friends. Daniel and Lee
escape and run.
DANIEL
That's not good.
RAPHAEL
Disparen ( Shoot)
They fire back and he falls. They all nudge one another to check
if he's dead. They then go to check on Daniel and Lee, finding
out they're gone.
RAPHAEL
No! No! you've let them escape. Vamos
a matarlos ( let's go kill them )
They run to find them.
TARTARUS
Sam, Teal'c and Jacob walk through the corridors.
CARTER
There must be a console that will let
us access a log of recent activity.
Even if it doesn't contain Anubis' long
range plans we might be able to gather
intel on the movement of his fleet.
JACOB
Nothing but labs, corridors and storage
in this direction. I think Anubis' quarters
are this way.
JUNGLE
Burke offers Jack some chewing gum and they hear gunfire. Daniel
and Lee are running through the jungle. Lee stumbles.
DANIEL
Bill, you gotta keep moving.
Jack tells Burke to circle around.
Lee falls over. Daniel helps him up and hides him behind a tree.
DANIEL
Stay down.
Daniel runs off. The kidnappers run past Lee.
Jack follows the gunfire.
Daniel runs into a tree as he is shot. The kidnappers fire at
his feet and in the air.
TARTARUS
Sam, Teal'c and Jacob reach Anubis' quarters. They look over
the balcony. There are more than a few warriors.
ANUBIS
You are all my children. Cal warriors.
You are the instruments of my conquest.
WARRIORS
Hail Anubis! Hail Anubis! Hail Anubis!
JUNGLE
Raphael drops his gun and asks for his machete.
RAPHAEL
I'm going to skin you alive.
Daniel turns to pick up a rock and there is more gunfire. He
turns back and they are all dead. Jack runs up.
O'NEILL
How many more are there? Daniel?
DANIEL
That's it. You got them all. What are
you doing here?
TARTARUS
CARTER
There must be thousands of them.
Thoth comes in behind them with his hand raised.
THOTH
Fools!
Teal'c turns and zats him. He raises his hand again and Sam shoots
him. Alarms go off.
JACOB
C4.
CARTER
Bra'tac, we need that ride now.
BRA'TAC
I will be there momentarily.
Sam blows the C4. They run off. A super soldier sees them and
runs after them.
JUNGLE
Jack is binding Daniel's leg.
O'NEILL
You be able to walk on this?
DANIEL
Yeah.
The dead man then fires his shot gun.
DANIEL
Telchak's device re animates the dead
just as..
O'NEILL
Yeah whatever.
Jack pulls Daniel behind a tree then shoots the dead man. It
doesn't stop him.
BURKE
Hey, get down.
Burke blows him into little pieces.
BURKE
What's with the guy from evil dead?
O'NEILL
um.
BURKE
Classified?
O'NEILL
Yeah.
BURKE
You guys are into some crazy crap man.
TARTARUS
Jacob opens the exhaust port. They leave but an arm stops the
door closing. They run to the cargo ship and close the door.
There is a bang.
JACOB
What was that?
CARTER
Can't be good. Just punch it.
They take off under fire.
BRA'TAC
Someone has opened the rear engine access
hatch.
CARTER
We're mid flight.
The super soldier enters in the background. Sam fires at him
but he bats her out of the way. He fires at Teal'c who dives
for cover. Jacob runs behind him into the cargo hold and Bra'tac
rings him down out of the ship.
BRA'TAC
Teal'c. Are you hurt?
TEAL'C
Indeed.
BRA'TAC
Where?
TEAL'C
My pride. An old man did what I could
not.
JACOB
Sam? Sam? No, don't move, just lie still.
What hurts?
CARTER
Everything.
JACOB
That's a good sign.
JUNGLE
BURKE
Perimeters clear. Just heard from air
rescue, they got the guide.
DANIEL
(Name)
BURKE
Yeah, he's gonna be okay, they'll be
here soon.
O'NEILL
hey. Nice back up.
BURKE
Buddy, any time anywhere.
O'NEILL
You know, I think I should recommend
that you be posted to a nicer place.
BURKE
A temperate zone, not too hot, not too
cold. Fine looking women that put out
like broken candy machines.
O'NEILL
Whatever. I'll see what I can do.
BURKE
Thanks buddy. Is that, that thing that
made that guy do that thing?
DANIEL
Yeah, it's okay, it's off now.
O'NEILL
Good, that's good.
LEE
Yeah, at least we think it's off. It's
not glowing any more so.
DANIEL
Glowing thing really gives it away so
if it's not glowing any more it shouldn't
be on any more.
LEE
Do you want to hold it?
DANIEL
Nope.
Daniel hops one step away.
BURKE
It's crazy.
GATEROOM
Sam, Teal'c, Jacob and Bra'tac step through the gate.
O'NEILL
So. Miss me?
CARTER
Of course Sir.
O'NEILL
Well it couldn't have been that bad.
You're all still alive.
TEAL'C
As are you and Daniel Jackson.
CARTER
Daniel?
DANIEL
I'm fine. We got the device from Telchak.
JACOB
Good. Hopefully we can engineer a weapon
from it.
BRA'TAC
You must. Or we will be left helpless
to combat these new warriors.
CARTER
We have some bad news Sir. Anubis has
an entire army of these super soldiers.
There are thousands of them. The best
we were able to do was delay his ability
to manufacture more.
HAMMOND
We'll debrief fully in one hour. Welcome
home.
They all start to walk off. Jack stops Sam.
O'NEILL
Hey. So nice command.
CARTER
We did manage to make it out alive,
Sir.
O'NEILL
There's that. Lunch?
They walk off.
THE END
