               Skaara runs along to a tent.

               
                                     ELDER
                         Skaara, join us. You know why you are 
                         here?
 
               
                                     SKAARA
                         Then it is true?

               
                                     ELDER
                         There’s not much time. Kasuf will take 
                         the women and children to the caves 
                         of Kalima where they will be safe.
 
                         
               
                                     SKAARA
                         No one will be safe anywhere. How can 
                         we even hope to defend ourselves against 
                         a Goa’uld as powerful as Anubis?
 
               
                                     ELDER
                         Our lives are meaningless if we don’t 
                         stop him from finding what he seeks 
                         here. You must rally all those capable 
                         of fighting.
 
               
                                     SKAARA
                         All those willing to die.

               
                                     DANIEL
                         All those who must not fail.

               
                                     SKAARA
                         Daniel?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         You won’t be alone.

               Jack walks to an elevator and swipes his card. He enters and 
               inserts his card by the buttons and presses for Level 28. The 
               lights suddenly go out and the elevator stops. Jack picks up 
               the phone.
 
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Hello? This is C.. Hello?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         Jack?

               
               Jack puts the phone to his ear again.

               
                                     DANIEL
                         Jack. Hi Jack. Jack, Abydos is in trouble. 
                         Anubis is on his way. He’s after the 
                         Eye of Ra. I have that replica Catherine 
                         gave me, it looks like this. Now I’m 
                         pretty sure the real one is located 
                         in some secret chamber in Ra’s pyramid 
                         on Abydos but I’m not sure where exactly. 
                         According to legend there were six Eyes 
                         including those held by Apophis, Osiris 
                         and Tiamat among others. Each is powerful 
                         on its own but to use them in combination 
                         increases that power ten fold. Recently, 
                         Anubis has managed to track down five 
                         of the six Eyes and only needs Ra’s 
                         to complete the set. He’s looked everywhere 
                         Ra used to hang out except Abydos; now 
                         he’s on his way there.
 
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         I’m sure that was an aspirin I took 
                         this morning.
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         Jack, it’s really me. It’s me, you have 
                         to help, you have to find the Eye of 
                         Ra before Anubis does. Keep it, hide 
                         it, destroy it, whatever, it doesn’t 
                         matter, we don’t have much time.
 
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Hey Daniel, how you doing? Long time. 
                         How are things on the higher planes?
 
                         
               
                                     DANIEL
                         Hey Jack, long time no see. How you 
                         doing?
 
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Fine, just fine.

               
                                     DANIEL
                         How are the knees, the back? Everything’s..
 
                         
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Oh you know, kind of weather contingent 
                         actually.
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         So what’s new?

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Ah actually a funny thing happened to 
                         me, today, I’m riding an elevator and 
                         an old friend of mine, someone who never 
                         calls, never writes just shows up and 
                         tells me all about this very important 
                         and apparently urgent mission that needs 
                         my attention.
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         You gonna help or...

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Wait; let me tell it, it’s good. You 
                         see this buddy of mine, this pal, this 
                         chum has ascended to a whole new level 
                         of existence. Do you see the irony? 
                         He’s asking for my help and he’s this 
                         great and powerful being.
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         Jack, we’ve already been through this, 
                         I can’t actually do anything.
 
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         See, I’m still not clear on that.

               
                                     DANIEL
                         The Others have rules; just talking 
                         to you is a violation.
 
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         What like jay walking, double parking, 
                         what?
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         The point is, taking action that changes 
                         human existence, that’s a big one.
 
                         
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Let me ask you this. Have you met any 
                         of these Other guys?
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         No.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Well how do you know they’re any kind 
                         of a threat?
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         Well good, that’s a good one. As it 
                         is, Oma’s an outcast because she believes 
                         helping people ascend is our duty.
 
                         
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         And that’s okay?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         Technically, no. But she does it anyway. 
                         Those of us that follow her are walking 
                         a very fine line.
 
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Why don’t they try to stop her?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         I don’t know.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         You don’t know?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         No I don’t know. All I know is what 
                         Oma has taught me. Ascension doesn’t 
                         make you all knowing or all powerful. 
                         It is just the beginning of the journey. 
                         The point is, if I were to help you, 
                         if I were to take any action to help 
                         you, Oma would step in and stop me herself 
                         to avoid drawing the wrath of the Others. 
                         If they wanted to, they could stop everything 
                         she’s been trying to do for a long time.
 
                         
               
               The lights come on and the elevator starts moving.

               
                                     DANIEL
                         I can’t jeopardise that.

               
               BRIEFING ROOM

               
               Jack, Sam, Teal’c, Jonas and Hammond are there.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Obviously we can’t match forces with 
                         Anubis but apparently the Abydonians 
                         are willing to back us on this one.
 
                         
               
                                     HAMMOND
                         Colonel, how’d you come by this intel?
 
                         
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         I didn’t say?

               
                                     HAMMOND
                         No you didn’t.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Daniel told me.

               
                                     JONAS
                         You saw Doctor Jackson?

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Actually, it’s not the first time.
 
                         
               
                                     CARTER
                         Is he all right?

               
                                     HAMMOND
                         What else did he say?

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Whoa, wait. You guys don’t think I’m 
                         nuts or anything like that?
 
               
                                     TEAL’C
                         I too have recently see Daniel Jackson.
 
                         
               
                                     CARTER
                         Really?

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Why didn’t you say something?

               
                                     TEAL’C
                         Why did you not?

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Well to be honest, I wasn’t quite sure 
                         it was really happening the first time.
 
                         
               
                                     TEAL’C
                         Neither was I.

               
                                     JONAS
                         Did he tell you where we could find 
                         the Eye?
 
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Uh, he doesn’t know.

               
                                     CARTER
                         He doesn’t know?

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         I know. Personally I think this whole 
                         ascension thing is a bit overrated.
 
                         
               
                                     HAMMOND
                         That’s good enough for me Colonel. If 
                         Dr Jackson is right, we have to find 
                         that Eye before Anubis does.

                         Skaara.

               
               They hug.

               
                                     SKAARA
                         It is good to see you.

               
                                     CARTER
                         You too.

                                     SKAARA
                         Good to meet you.

                                     O’NEILL
                         Appreciate that. Teal’c, set up a perimeter, 
                         I want to know the second we have company. 
                         Any idea where this Eye thing is?
 
                         
               
                                     SKAARA
                         I will show you.

               
               They walk through into a different room lighting torches as they 
               go. They come to some steps and walk down.
 
               
                                     SKAARA
                         This is as far as the catacombs go. 
                         Daniel and I have spent much time here.

                         No Eye’s?

               
                                     SKAARA
                         The Eye of Ra is mentioned many times 
                         on these walls.
 
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Just so we’re clear, it’s not a real 
                         eye? It’s a kind of jewel or something.
 
                         
               
                                     SKAARA
                         We have never been able to find it.

                         So you seeing anybody?

               
                                     SKAARA
                         Maybe.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Really? Is it serious?

               
                                     SKAARA
                         We are betrothed.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Trust me, that’s serious. Congratulations.
 
                         
               
                                     SKAARA
                         Thank you.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         I assume my invitation got lost in the 
                         mail or..?
 
               
                                     SKAARA
                         I wanted to ask you to sha’loki. To 
                         stand beside me.
 
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         During the ceremony right?

               
                                     SKAARA
                         Yes, yes.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         I’d be honoured.

                         Will you becoming to my wedding alone?
 
                         
               
               Sam walks up.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         I assume Carter’s invited too?

               
                                     SKAARA
                         Of course. Will you becoming together?
 
                         
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         As in?

                         Yes, sure. Jonas?

               Teal’c and Tobay are waiting.

               
                                     TEAL’C
                         Is there something you wish to ask me?
 
                         
               
                                     TOBAY
                         You are a friend of Daniel Jackson?
 
                         
               
                                     TEAL’C
                         Indeed I was.

               
                                     TOBAY
                         Skaara says he is not dead. He is now 
                         a God.
 
               
                                     TEAL’C
                         A God he is not.

               
                                     TOBAY
                         Is he not powerful?

               
                                     TEAL’C
                         That remains unclear.

               
                                     TOBAY
                         Daniel once brought freedom to my people 
                         from the false God Ra. He has asked 
                         us to fight; we will fight in his name. 
                         Die for his cause if we must. Skaara 
                         says Daniel will protect us, watch over 
                         our families.
 
               
                                     TEAL’C
                         I am unsure of what you have been promised.
 
                         
               
               Alkesh and Death Gliders can be seen in the distance.

               
                                     TEAL’C
                         But if you are not prepared to die, 
                         you should not be here.
 
               
               They raise their weapons as the ships pass over them.

               Jonas is reading something.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         How you doing there, son? We don’t have 
                         all day.

                         I know. Believe me I know. But there’s 
                         nothing. Just a lot of talk about the 
                         power of Ra, the size of his domain.
 
                         
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Big domain?

               
                                     JONAS
                         There’s no mention of a secret chamber 
                         where he keeps his most valuable possessions 
                         not that I would expect that.

                         I don’t know what to tell you. I mean 
                         if Dr Jackson was here..

                         You hear that?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         I can’t do anything about that, you 
                         know.
 
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         I don’t care. Do something or we walk. 
                         Right now.
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         Remember that fine line we were talking 
                         about?
 
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Cross it.

               
                                     DANIEL
                         Okay. I always thought there might be 
                         a secret chamber here. This section 
                         talks about how Ra draws his power from 
                         the sun.
 
               
                                     TEAL’C
                         (Via radio) O’Neill, we cannot hold 
                         our position.
 
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         (Over Radio) Fall back to the pyramid. 
                         You guys do your stuff, I’m gonna go 
                         help Teal’c.
 
               
                                     SKAARA
                         I will come with you.

               
               They leave. Sam, Jonas and Daniel look at the wall.

               Teal’c is moving everyone back.

               
                                     TEAL’C
                         Fall back. Fall back!

               
               They fall back and a glider comes for them. Teal’c fires his 
               rocket launcher and the glider explodes as it hits the ground. 
               Two Abydonians fall but Teal’c keeps running.

                                     CARTER
                         Ah, can’t you just zip into the wall 
                         and see if there’s something on the 
                         other side?
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         It’s complicated.

               
                                     JONAS
                         Some kind of trigger for a secret door. 
                         Rays of the sun will reveal all. Rays 
                         of the sun, there’s no sunlight. Think 
                         any light will do?
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         It’s possible.

               
               Jonas gets out a torch and shines it on the jewel in the wall.
 
               
               
                                     CARTER
                         Maybe you need to focus it a little?
 
                         
               
                                     JONAS
                         Yeah.

               
               Jonas gets out a magnifying glass.

               
                                     DANIEL
                         Is that my stuff?

               
                                     JONAS
                         You weren’t using it any more.

               
                                     DANIEL
                         Yeah.

               
               ABYDOS

               
               Teal’c and the Abydonians have reached the pyramid as jaffa come 
               pouring over the hill.
 
               
               Jack and Skaara meet Teal’c.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         How many?

               
                                     TEAL’C
                         Many.

                                     CARTER
                         Sir, we’re working on it.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Work faster.

               
                                     CARTER
                         Yes sir.

                                     JONAS
                         I thought we were on to something.
 
                         
               
                                     DANIEL
                         You are.

               
                                     JONAS
                         It’s not working.

               
                                     DANIEL
                         It’s red.

               
                                     JONAS
                         What is?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         The rays of the sun on the fresco (sp) 
                         are red. Sam?
 
               
                                     CARTER
                         Yeah. Jonas?

               
               Sam focuses the laser sight on her P90 on the jewel and the door 
               opens.
 
               
                                     JONAS
                         Sweet.

               
               They go in and look around.

               
               GATEROOM OF PYRAMID

               
               Jaffa enter and are fired on. A chunk of rock is taken out near 
               Jack. The man in front of Skaara is killed. More jaffa ring into 
               the middle of the room. Most of the jaffa are taken out by Jack 
               but one manages to fire on Skaara who goes down. Teal’c provides 
               cover fire for Jack who goes to check on Skaara.

               Daniel is looking at a tablet.

               
                                     CARTER
                         Daniel what is it?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         I’m an Ancient.

               
                                     CARTER
                         What?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         Not me, but the Others like me. They’re 
                         the Ancients.
 
               
                                     JONAS
                         This is written in one of the oldest 
                         dialects of the Ancients.
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         I mean I always suspected but I never 
                         really knew for sure.
 
               
                                     CARTER
                         What does it say?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         It says the Ancients evolved from a 
                         race of humans that lived long before 
                         us. They were wiped out by a plague 
                         that was sweeping across the galaxy. 
                         Many learned to ascend, the rest died 
                         out. I have to go.
 
               
                                     CARTER
                         Where?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         I’ll be back. Don’t lose that tablet; 
                         it talks about a lost city that’s more 
                         valuable than anything.
 
               
                                     CARTER
                         Daniel?

               
               Daniel turns into a glowy ball again.

                         Teal’c!

               
               Teal’c retreats towards him.

               
               SECRET ROOM

               
               Jonas and Sam are rummaging through everything.

               
                                     JONAS
                         What if it’s not here?

               
                                     CARTER
                         Maybe there’s a secret compartment?
 
                         
               
                                     JONAS
                         A secret compartment inside a secret 
                         chamber?
 
               
                                     CARTER
                         Why not?

               
                                     JONAS
                         Why not?

               
               Jonas picks up a metal object and starts tapping walls. He comes 
               across one that sounds hollow.
 
               
                                     JONAS
                         Right here. I don’t see a latch or a 
                         jewel like in the other door but there’s 
                         got to be some way to open this.
 
               
                                     CARTER
                         Yeah, stand back.

               
               Sam fires on the wall with her P90.

               
               Jonas retrieves the Eye of Ra and they leave the chamber. Jonas 
               picks up the tablet.
 
               
                                     CARTER
                         (Over radio) Sir, we got it.

               
               Jack, Teal’c and Skaara come down the steps to meet them.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Too late.

               
                                     TEAL’C
                         We cannot hold the Gateroom. Anubis 
                         dialled the Stargate preventing our 
                         escape.
 
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         We got jaffa on our ass. Where’s that 
                         Eye?
 
               
                                     JONAS
                         Right here.

               
               Jack gets some C4 out of his vest pocket.

               
                                     JONAS
                         What are you going to do with that?
 
                         
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         I’m gonna see how much Anubis wants 
                         that Eye in one piece.
 
               
               The jaffa come down the steps and wait. Jack finishes attaching 
               the C4. Another jaffa comes down the steps.
 
               
                                     HERAK
                         Surrender or die!

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         What?

               
                                     HERAK
                         Surrender or die!

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         I was just gonna say the exact same 
                         thing.
 
               
                                     HERAK
                         O’Neill of SG1.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Hey, how’re you doing? You’ll have to 
                         forgive me, I’m terrible with names. 
                         What..
 
               
               A staff blast is fired.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Jeez!

               
                                     HERAK
                         I am Herak.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Congratulations. Failing upwards I see.
 
                         
               
                                     HERAK
                         You have no choice.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Actually I do. I’ve got the Eye and 
                         about a pound of very powerful explosives 
                         stuck to it. Give us clear access to 
                         the Gate or I’ll blow it up.
 
               
                                     HERAK
                         Yourself along with it?

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         What’s your point?

               
                                     HERAK
                         I will speak with my master.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Yes, you do that. Don’t forget to tell 
                         him you screwed up again.
 
               
               Herak leaves.

               
                                     JONAS
                         Is it really necessary to further antagonise 
                         him?
 
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Yes.

               
                                     CARTER
                         Would you really do it?

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Sure, why not?

                         O’Neill. Skaara is in need of medical 
                         attention.
 
               
                                     SKAARA
                         I have failed you.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Ah stop it.

               
               ANUBIS’ SHIP

               
               Herak walks in and bows.

               
                                     HERAK
                         My Lord. The humans from Earth and the 
                         one named O’Neill have found the Eye 
                         of Ra. We have them trapped. But he 
                         says if we do not grant them free passage 
                         he will destroy the Eye.
 
               
                                     ANUBIS
                         He will give you the Eye of Ra or I 
                         will destroy Abydos.
 
               
                                     HERAK
                         Yes my Lord.

               
               Herak leaves.

               
                                     DANIEL
                         You won’t touch Abydos.

               
                                     ANUBIS
                         And how will you stop me?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         I can. And I will if one more person 
                         down there is hurt.
 
               
                                     ANUBIS
                         You can do nothing but stand there and 
                         utter empty threats because I know what 
                         you are.
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         If you know what I am, you know very 
                         well I can wipe you from existence.
 
                         
               
                                     ANUBIS
                         I know you who are Daniel Jackson, but 
                         you know not who I am.
 
               
               We see his face start to light up and his face appears. He is 
               an ascended being.
 
               
               PYRAMID

               
               Herak comes back.

               
                                     HERAK
                         O’Neill, can you hear me?

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Yeah.

               
                                     HERAK
                         Anubis commands that you turn over the 
                         Eye of Ra immediately or he will destroy 
                         all of Abydos.
 
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Tell him to go ahead. He’s not getting 
                         the Eye.
 
               
               Jonas looks at Jack.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         He’s bluffing.

               
                                     JONAS
                         We don’t have much of a choice. If we 
                         blow up the Eye he’s going to destroy 
                         Abydos anyway,.
 
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         He’s just as likely to attack after 
                         we give it to him.
 
               
                                     JONAS
                         Maybe not.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         He’s a Goa’uld.

               
                                     SKAARA
                         O’Neill.

               
               Jack goes to Skaara.

               
               Skaara starts to talk in abydonian.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         What’s he say?

               
                                     TEAL’C
                         He speaks of a bright light. Of giving 
                         up. Of releasing something.
 
               
               Skaara looks at Jack. His eyes close and he dies. He suddenly 
               turns into a bright light and ascends.
 
               
               The jaffa outside look puzzled at the bright light. Jack looks 
               down at Skaara’s clothes.
 
               
               ANUBIS’ SHIP

               
                                     ANUBIS
                         With a wave of my hand, I will bombard 
                         the surface. You can try and stop me 
                         if you choose.
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         What makes you think I won’t?

               
                                     ANUBIS
                         Your words mean nothing. Take action 
                         if you dare.
 
               
               Daniel walks towards the viewing screen where Goa’uld motherships 
               exit hyperspace.
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         Maybe I won’t have to.

               
               Yu appears on the viewing screen.

               
                                     YU
                         I command the collective forces of the 
                         System Lords.
 
               
                                     ANUBIS
                         You’ve finally managed to rally them 
                         against me.
 
               
                                     YU
                         You will hand over the Eye of Ra or 
                         face destruction.
 
               
                                     ANUBIS
                         I will consider your most generous offer.
 
                         
               
               Yu disappears.

               
                                     DANIEL
                         You won’t survive that many motherships.
 
                         
               
                                     ANUBIS
                         They are not attacking because they 
                         fear me.
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         Maybe I’ll tell them you don’t have 
                         the Eye. And they can beat you if they 
                         strike now.
 
               
                                     ANUBIS
                         Do you know that for a fact?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         Maybe I’ll deliver the Eye of Ra to 
                         you. If you give me your word you won’t 
                         harm the people of Abydos. Ever.
 
               
                                     ANUBIS
                         So be it.

               
                                     DANIEL
                         That’s a promise I’ll hold you to no 
                         matter what.
 
               
               PYRAMID

               
                                     CARTER
                         Sir, you’re not considering shooting 
                         our way out?
 
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         No. Anubis must really want that thing 
                         in one piece if his boys have held off 
                         this long.
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         He does.

               
                                     CARTER
                         Where were you?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         Busy, busy.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Hey, thanks for Skaara. I assume he’s 
                         okay.
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         What are you talking about?

                         He has ascended.

               
                                     DANIEL
                         What?

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         That wasn’t you?

               
               Daniel closes his eyes.

               
                                     DANIEL
                         Oma’s here watching me.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         And?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         And I don’t care any more. Anubis is 
                         one of us.
 
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         What?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         He’s partly in some bastardised way.
 
                         
               
                                     CARTER
                         Daniel, what are you talking about?
 
                         
               
                                     DANIEL
                         The Goa’uld Anubis used to be figured 
                         out how to ascend.
 
               
                                     TEAL’C
                         He was believed to have been dead for 
                         quite some time.
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         The Others didn’t want him.

               
                                     JONAS
                         That’s understandable.

               
                                     DANIEL
                         They sent him back. At least they tried, 
                         but not all the way.
 
               
                                     CARTER
                         What is he now?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         He’s still some form of energy, that 
                         black mask is a shield, it’s keeping 
                         his form intact. He’s stuck somewhere 
                         between human existence and ascension.
 
                         
               
                                     TEAL’C
                         Why have the Others allowed him to remain 
                         that way?
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         I don’t know. Maybe they couldn’t exile 
                         him completely?
 
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Maybe they just don’t care?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         Maybe you’re right. Either way he’s 
                         still very powerful.
 
               
                                     CARTER
                         It explains his mastery of Ancient technology.
 
                         
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         How’s that?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         Jack, the Others are the Ancients. The 
                         original creators of the Stargates. 
                         You didn’t tell him?
 
               
                                     CARTER
                         Uh, no.

               
               Herak and his men move forward.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         All right look, just bottom line this 
                         for me, will you?
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         There’s a fleet of System Lord Motherships 
                         surrounding Anubis, I warned them about 
                         the Eye and what it can do.
 
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Nice.

               
                                     DANIEL
                         Turn it over.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         What?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         I made a deal with Anubis, you turn 
                         the Eye over, you go free and the people 
                         of Abydos remain unharmed.
 
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         You made a deal with Anubis?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         I’ll make sure he keeps it. The Goa’uld 
                         are going to fight it out over the Eye 
                         and hopefully destroy each other in 
                         the process but even if they don’t, 
                         while they’re licking their wounds, 
                         you’re gonna find the lost city of the 
                         Ancients.
 
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         The lost city?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         Didn’t tell him about that either, huh?
 
                         
               
                                     CARTER
                         Daniel found a tablet talking about 
                         a lost city.
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         Where there are powerful Ancient weapons 
                         capable of giving you a big advantage 
                         over Anubis.
 
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Do you know where it is?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         No, but I’ll help you find it. Jack, 
                         nothing will happen to the Abydonians, 
                         the most important thing right now is 
                         for you to get out of here with that 
                         tablet. If Anubis gets his hands on 
                         it and finds the lost city before you 
                         do, it’s all over. He already has a 
                         huge advantage over you because of what 
                         the Others have done or rather failed 
                         to do.
 
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         You gonna kick his ass?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         If I have to.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Can you?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         We’ll see. Nothing will happen to the 
                         people of Abydos.

               The jaffa are still waiting.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Coming out!

               
               Jack walks up to Herak.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         I assume you know about the part where 
                         you don’t kill us?
 
               
                                     HERAK
                         As much as I would like to.

               
               Jack hands over the Eye.

               
                                     HERAK
                         Jaffa Kree!

               
               The jaffa all leave.

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Well spank me rosy. Let’s book.

               
               SG1 leave.

               
               ANUBIS’ SHIP

               
               Herak enters the bridge with the Eye of Ra.

               
                                     HERAK
                         My Lord, the Eye of Ra.

               
               Anubis gets up and takes it.

               
               A weapon on the outside of the ship activates.

               
                                     ANUBIS
                         The ships weapons are now fully powered.
 
                         
               
               Yu appears on the view screen.

               
                                     YU
                         Your time is up.

               
                                     ANUBIS
                         Of that you are gravely mistaken.

               
               The ship fires on the other Motherships who fire back. There 
               are at least ten motherships, three of who explode. Anubis’ shields 
               absorb the blasts.
 
               
               ABYDOS GATEROOM

               
               SG1 have made it to the Gateroom.

               
                                     JONAS
                         Sounds like a hell of a battle going 
                         on up there.
 
               
               We then see lots of clothes just lying on the floor.

               
               ANUBIS’ SHIP

               
               Herak is watching the ships outside explode.

               
                                     HERAK
                         They are retreating.

               
                                     ANUBIS
                         Yes.

               
                                     HERAK
                         What now My Lord?

               
                                     ANUBIS
                         Now I will destroy Abydos.

               
               ABYDOS GATEROOM

               
               Sam is dialling the Gate.

               
               ANUBIS’ SHIP

               
               Anubis raises his hand to activate the weapon.

               
                                     DANIEL
                         Stop!

               
               Herak fires on Daniel and it passes right through.

               
                                     ANUBIS
                         Stop me, if you can.

               
               Herak kneels behind them.

               
               Daniel raises his hands and they glow.

               
                                     ANUBIS
                         Strike me down. Do it now or I will 
                         destroy Abydos.
 
               
               Daniel raises his hands and directs the energy at Anubis. It 
               appears to be blown back as Anubis raises his hand to defend 
               himself.
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         No! Don’t do this.

               
               Daniel is spirited away.

               Sam, Jonas and Teal’c step through the Gate. Jack is about to 
               go through.

                         You are indeed all powerful my Lord.

                         What you just saw was not my doing. 
                         However, this is.
 
               
               He activates the weapon. It focuses on Abydos. A beam of energy 
               is directed at the pyramid.

               Jack is just about to step through the Gate. He turns and sees 
               what looks like electricity.
 
               
               ABYDOS

               
               The pyramid is blown up and the energy wave radiates outwards.

               Jonas, Sam and Teal’c are waiting at the bottom of the ramp. 
               The wormhole fritzes.

                         What was that?

               
               Jack comes through and the iris closes. The room shakes as Jack 
               walks down the ramp.
 
               
                                     JONAS
                         What just happened?

                         Abydos was hit.

               
                                     CARTER
                         You saw it?

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         I felt it. Just before I came through.
 
                         
               
               Sam leaves the Gateroom.

                         Sergeant, call up a full Gate diagnostic. 
                         What have you got?
 
               
                                     DAVIS
                         I’m working on it. A large burst of 
                         energy was transmitted through the wormhole 
                         just after Colonel O’Neill came through.

                         We’re lucky they closed the iris when 
                         they did Sir. A massive energy wave 
                         followed you through the wormhole.

                         Yes sir.

               
                                     HAMMOND
                         Welcome back SG1. What’s happening?
 
                         
               
                                     CARTER
                         Seems there was a large explosion on 
                         the planet just after we left Sir.
 
                         
               
                                     HAMMOND
                         Is that possible?

               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Unfortunately, Sir.

                         We’re dialling Abydos now to see what 
                         happened.

                                     CARTER
                         The only thing we can assume is that 
                         Anubis didn’t keep his deal with Daniel.
 
                         
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         That’s a shock, eh?

               
                                     TEAL’C
                         And that Daniel Jackson was unable to 
                         prevent Anubis from destroying Abydos.

                         Which leaves Anubis in possession of 
                         a powerful weapon that has given him 
                         clear superiority over the System Lords.

                         We don’t know any of that for sure, 
                         Sir.

                         What we do know, is that we have to 
                         find the city that’s described on that 
                         tablet.

                         Can you translate this?

               
                                     JONAS
                         Oh yeah. It will take some time but 
                         Dr Jackson did offer his assistance.

                         Well Sir, he would have done everything 
                         in his power to protect the people of 
                         Abydos. If he was somehow prevented 
                         from doing that then....

                         What about the explosion?

               
                                     CARTER
                         I don’t know Sir, I can’t explain it.

                         are okay.
 
               
               Hammond indicates they can.

               SG1 come over an incline and see the village and all the people. 
               A couple of boys are playing football.

                         What’s going on here?

               
                                     SKAARA
                         Anubis destroyed the pyramid. Everyone

                         They don’t look dead to me. But then 
                         neither do you.

                         I do not know. One named Oma did this.

                         I wish you well O’Neill. You will not 
                         see me again. At least not for a while.
 
                         
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         Take care.

               
                                     SKAARA
                         Do not fear. You will find your way.
 
                         
               
               A football rolls in front of Jack. He bends down to pick it up.
 
               
               
                                     O’NEILL
                         What do you mean by that?

               
               As he gets up all the people and tents are gone. Skaara takes 
               the ball off him.
 
               
                                     SKAARA
                         The Chappa’ai will remain until you 
                         leave.
 
               
               They all turn around and see the Stargate in the desert, not 
               in the pyramid.
 
               
               When they turn back Skaara is gone.

                         Let’s go home.

               
               They turn and walk towards the Stargate.

               
               THE END
