STARGATE SG1
Episode 209
"SECRETS"
By
Terry Curtis Fox
The team and Hammond are watching some offworld video footage
DANIEL
Now that was a few moments ago. Now
obviously Kasuf's unburied the Stargate
and is waiting. For me.
SAM
One Abydos year to the day. They kept
their word.
DANIEL
And I have to keep mine.
JACK
Daniel, you said you'd go back there
in a year with Sha're.
DANIEL
I know that. But at least I can tell
her father that I haven't given up;
that I won't give up.
JACK
That she's a Goa'uld?
DANIEL
Yes.
JACK
Does he really need to know that?
DANIEL
Kasuf is family. I owe it to him.
HAMMOND
I have nothing against you returning
to Abydos, Dr Jackson, but Colonel O'Neill
and Captain Carter are due in Washington,
and I can hardly ask the President of
the United States to change his schedule.
DANIEL
Well, if I don't go back now, they will
bury the 'gate for good. It's what I
told them to do if I never came back.
General, I lived among these people
for over a year. And I couldn't possibly
be safer than in the company of Teal'c.
TEAL'C
Thank you Daniel Jackson.
DANIEL
You're welcome.
TEAL'C
Daniel Jackson assures me the Abydonians
are a peaceful people.
JACK
They're a great people, are you kidding?
In fact, what do you say you and I blow
off this medal ceremony thing and go
with the boys?
HAMMOND
You may leave when ready.
Daniel and Teal'c are in the gateroom, preparing to leave
JACK
So we'll come and pick you up in a couple
of days, yeah?
DANIEL
Say hi to the President for me.
JACK
Will do.
They go through the gate
Kasuf is waiting in the Abydos gateroom
DANIEL
Don't be afraid, good father. This is
Teal'c.
TEAL'C
Tel'nol te'ak.
KASUF
Ma'weh.
TEAL'C
I am honoured.
KASUF
Mai'ak ak ma'afi.
DANIEL
Good father, I ask your forgiveness,
I have returned without your daughter.
KASUF
So it is.
DANIEL
I fear that my search may continue for
many seasons.
KASUF
Come.
They get to the camp and enter a tent. Sha're is there
DANIEL
Sha're!
Teal'c points his zat gun at her
Titles
KASUF
No, take my life in exchange!
DANIEL
Nobody's killing anybody.
TEAL'C
Sha're is no longer your daughter.
DANIEL
Kasuf, we're in danger. How long has
she been here?
KASUF
More than a season.
DANIEL
What?
KASUF
Why are we in danger?
SHA'RE
Husband!
DANIEL
I am Sha're's husband. Who are you?
SHA'RE
My Daniel, please!
TEAL'C
Come no further.
KASUF
Son, do your eyes not see?
DANIEL
Sha're has been taken by a Goa'uld.
A demon now lives within her. One of
great power and evil.
SHA'RE
He speaks the truth, father.
KASUF
But you said you returned to me.
SHA'RE
And I have.
DANIEL
Stop it! Okay, just stop it. You can't
fool me. I know what you are. I've seen
what you are.
SHA'RE
Please believe me!
DANIEL
No.
SHA'RE
The demon sleeps because I am with child.
Hear me, husband. The Goa'uld that has
stolen my soul is called Amonet. She
sleeps for the sake of the child.
DANIEL
Why?
SHA'RE
If she awakens, the child will come
forth, stillborn.
TEAL'C
I have never known a Goa'uld to father
a human child.
DANIEL
Apophis is the father?
SHA'RE
Yes.
TEAL'C
Then Apophis is here also.
SHA'RE
No, he has hidden me away. He does not
want to reveal the true purpose of this
child to his enemies.
DANIEL
What true purpose? Sha're, what does
Apophis want with a human child?
SHA'RE
He wishes the child to one day become
his new host.
DANIEL
Is that true?
SHA'RE
Yes.
Daniel leaves the tent and goes outside.
Sam and Jack are in Washington. They enter a large room where
people are gathered
JACK
You know, I can navigate myself across
a galaxy, but I get lost every time
I come to Washington.
SAM
Don't worry Sir, these are my old stomping
grounds.
JACK
Sorry to hear that.
SAM
Two years at the Pentagon trying to
make the Stargate program a reality,
I'd say it was time well spent, considering.
JACK
Ya think?
SAM
I see General Hammond's already doing
the rounds.
JACK
Oh yeah. He's a player. He knows how
to work a room. Punch?
SAM
Yes Sir, thanks. Dad!
Abydos
SHA'RE
Daniel no longer loves me.
TEAL'C
You are incorrect. Daniel Jackson cares
for you greatly.
KASUF
He does not behave as a husband.
SHA'RE
I have seen your face before.
TEAL'C
As first prime of Apophis. I was present
when the Goa'uld invaded your body.
For my part I can only ask your forgiveness.
SHA'RE
No, it is more. You are the traitor,
Teal'c!
TEAL'C
How can you know this?
SHA'RE
My mind is full of images Apophis railing
and cursing your name. His place among
the system lords is no more.
TEAL'C
Then these are the memories of the Goa'uld
that now sleeps within you.
SHA'RE
Yes.
Teal'c goes outside to talk to Daniel
TEAL'C
This is most difficult. Daniel Jackson,
we must return with Sha're through the
Stargate immediately.
DANIEL
Why?
TEAL'C
As long as the Goa'uld within her sleeps,
Sha're shares its memories.
DANIEL
So what?
TEAL'C
It would be of great strategic benefit
to have access to the Goa'uld genetic
memory, even for a few days.
DANIEL
What? Access? Do you, do you know who
it is we're talking about?
TEAL'C
I do. And soon she will give birth.
DANIEL
Well hasn't she gone through enough?
I mean, what are you talking about here
Teal'c? Handing her over to Maybourne
for study?
TEAL'C
The knowledge she possesses could one
day save your world.
DANIEL
I don't care! I will not put her through
that, too! I'm sorry!
TEAL'C
More sorry for yourself, it appears,
than for Sha're. Within a matter of
days, Sha're will give birth. The Goa'uld
within her will reawaken. Apophis will
take this child and leave Abydos forever.
That is the fate you choose for Sha're
by allowing her to stay!
DANIEL
Then I'd like a moment with my wife.
Jack and Sam talk with Hammond and Jacob
HAMMOND
I invited Jake myself, Captain. I thought
you might enjoy the surprise.
SAM
Really, Sir. That's sweet.
JACOB
George and I served together back when
the Air Force really was this country's
first line of defence.
SAM
It still is.
JACOB
Of course it is. I was talking about
when the Cold War was still, er... Anyway,
when George told me you were up for
the Air Medal for your work in, what
the hell was that again? Um...
SAM
Analysis of deep space radar telemetry.
JACOB
Right.
JACK
Sam!
SAM
Thank you Sir.
HAMMOND
Colonel Jack O'Neill, Jacob Carter.
JACK
Carter? As in.
SAM
As in, my father Sir, yes.
JACK
Get outta town. Sam's Dad? I've heard
nothing about you, Sir.
JACOB
What's there to say about an old general
waiting to retire?
SAM
Dad, I talk about you all the time.
JACK
I retired myself one time. Couldn't
stay away.
JACOB
From your analysis of deep space radar
telemetry.
JACK
Well, it's just so damn fascinating.
JACOB
I'm sure it is. Otherwise you wouldn't
be receiving the Air Medal.
JACK
We have our moments. Um, will you excuse
me? We just don't get out of Cheyenne
Mountain enough. I'm gonna grab some
air outside. General, Captain, General,
Waiter?
HAMMOND
I guess I'll go make the rounds.
JACOB
Just between us, your cover stories
could use a little polish.
SAM
Sorry, Dad, I don't know what you're
talking about.
JACOB
No, of course not, I'm out of line.
But whatever it is you really analyse
in that mountain, deep space or no deep
space, it can't be as exciting as the
real thing. I'm talking about getting
you into NASA, Sam. I'm talking about
you actually going to space one day.
Daniel talks to Sha're
SHA'RE
You hate me.
DANIEL
No, no, I love you.
SHA'RE
You forgive me?
DANIEL
God, there's nothing to forgive.
SHA'RE
I'm so ashamed.
DANIEL
I hate what's been done to you. I hate
Apophis for the child that's been growing
inside of you. Look at me. I love you.
Everything else.I love you.
S HAURE
Will you stay?
DANIEL
I can't. Because I want you to come
home with me.
Sam talks with her father
JACOB
I made a call to Bollinger himself.
Head of NASA?
SAM
I know.
JACOB
I told him that you'd wanted to become
an astronaut since you were a little
girl. And that you'd given up
SAM
I didn't give up!
JACOB
Let me finish, waiting for the shuttle
program to be reinstated after the Challenger
disaster.
SAM
Yeah, it was bad timing.
JACOB
Yes, well. I called in a few markers.
I filled them in on your qualifications;
you apply again, as an Air Force nominee,
young lady, and I think you'll find
NASA supportive.
SAM
There's a waiting list a mile long.
JACOB
Not for you.
SAM
Dad, you can't do that.
JACOB
I did.
SAM
Without talking to me first?
JACOB
You're telling me you don't want this?
They know what you're capable of offering
the Space Program, Samantha, they want
you!
SAM
That's not the point! The work I am
doing right now is very important to
me.
JACOB
It's not your dream.
SAM
Let's just leave it at that, please?
JACOB
At least talk to them, then. Do that
much for me.
SAM
I knew sooner or later you'd make this
about you.
JACOB
Alright.
SAM
Dad, it's not that I don't appreciate
it.
JACOB
I said alright. I'll catch up with you
after the ceremony.
Jack is in a bar, alone. A reporter comes up to him
REPORTER
Colonel Jack O'Neill, right?
JACK
I'm not sure.
REPORTER
You are one hard man to find, let me
tell you.
JACK
Who are you?
REPORTER
Armand Zellick. I'm a journalist. I'll
have a beer.
JACK
Why don't you take mine. I haven't touched
it.
REPORTER
Heading back to the Stargate so soon?
JACK
What?
REPORTER
Big round greyish thing, can't miss
it.
JACK
I don't know what that is.
REPORTER
Before you go, Colonel, maybe you should
hear this. I knew you were coming here,
so I planned ahead, and I got a little
lucky
.
He plays Jack a tape recording he has made of him talking with
Sam
JACK
You know, I can navigate my way across
a galaxy, but I get lost every time
I come to Washington.
SAM
Don't worry Sir, these are my old stomping
grounds.
JACK
My condolences.
SAM
Two years at the Pentagon trying to
make the Stargate program a reality,
I'd say it was time well spent, considering.
JACK
Ya think?
REPORTER
This isn't all I've got to go on, mind
you. I have a source that told me about
a device that can send people half way
across the galaxy and back again. Just
looking for a little confirmation.
JACK
Parabolic microphone across the square,
maybe?
REPORTER
Something like that.
JACK
Technology, eh. Listen, I don't know
who your source is, but I'm a Colonel
in the US Air Force. A C5 Galaxy is
a transport aircraft, one of the largest
in the world. That's what I was referring
to.
REPORTER
And the Stargate?
JACK
You got me on that one.
Abydos
SHA'RE
After the child is born, the demon within
me will awaken again. She will punish
the child for my disobedience.
TEAL'C
We would not allow that to happen. The
Goa'uld will have become our prisoner.
DANIEL
We'll have time together before the
child is born. There'll also be questions
asked of what you remember of the Goa'uld,
but I will be there the whole time.
I won't let them hurt you. We can study
what keeps the Goa'uld dormant, there
may even be a way we can remain together.
KASUF
Apophis will return. If she is gone,
he will destroy the whole village.
TEAL'C
Tell them an enemy of Apophis came and
stole Sha're and the child away.
KASUF
And it will be the truth, yes? Go with
them!
DANIEL
You can't just tell her like that.
KASUF
I am her father!
DANIEL
Sha're, I won't force you.
SHA'RE
Once the demon returns, will I be with
you then?
DANIEL
No. 'Til we can find a way to remove
the Goa'uld within you, they would lock
you up in a cell. That's something like
a cage.
TEAL'C
So the Goa'uld within you will not harm
others.
DANIEL
Look, I won't pretend this is going
to be easy. But at least this way Apophis
will not be allowed to hurt you, or
your child, ever again.
SHA'RE
Then I will come with you, my Daniel.
TEAL'C
Apophis may return at any moment. We
must leave now.
Jack and Hammond talk about the reporter
HAMMOND
He's got great hands. He can really
snap the jab. He was getting off all
night, so he cut in with three good
ones, then he feinted with his right,
came in with a left hook and right cross
and the guy was down! It was a great...
JACK
General, a moment please?
HAMMOND
Excuse me.
JACK
We've got a problem, Sir. We've sprung
a leak. Apparently someone with knowledge
of the program talked to a reporter.
HAMMOND
This reporter approached you?
JACK
Yes Sir.
HAMMOND
And you said?
JACK
Denied everything. He didn't buy it.
HAMMOND
How much does he know?
JACK
Well, if he knows me, he knew how to
find me here... a lot.
HAMMOND
The you're right, we've got a problem.
Daniel, Teal'c and Sha're are in the Abydos gateroom.
SHA'RE
Daniel, do you hear it?
DANIEL
Hear what? What's wrong?
TEAL'C
A Goa'uld ship approaches.
DANIEL
Sha're, what's wrong?
AMAUNET
My lord comes for me.
DANIEL
No! Sha're, fight this thing. You have
to hold on, a little longer, please!
SHA'RE
Daniel?
DANIEL
It's okay, it's gone now.
SHA'RE
Daniel! Daniel!
DANIEL
Teal'c! I think she just went into labour.
TEAL'C
The Goa'uld's return may have induced
it.
SHA'RE
Daniel!
TEAL'C
Daniel Jackson! We must leave now!
The quickly leave. Heru'ur and some Jaffa come through the gate
JAFFA
My lord. Someone attempted to flee through
the Stargate. They did not have time
to escape.
HERU'UR
Find Apophis' queen.
Sam, Hammond and Jack talk about the reporter, in Washington
SAM
Say he runs this story, how bad can
it get?
HAMMOND
Bad. The domestic repercussions alone
- half the government would want to
bury it, the other half would want a
piece of it.
After that the international fall-out when Russia and China find
out we've been keeping it from them...
SAM
Proof of the existence of aliens. Hundreds
of other worlds populated by ancient
human cultures.
JACK
I don't see the problem.
SAM
I can't help but wonder who the source
could be.
JACK
Any one of hundreds of people, Captain.
SAM
I have a hard time believing it's one
of ours. Every member of the SGC knows
how important our work is.
HAMMOND
I agree with Captain Carter. It's much
more likely political.
SAM
Senator Kinsey?
JACK
Well if he knows, at least a dozen sycophants
know.
HAMMOND
Civilians sign non-disclosure statements.
Technically that makes them liable to
prosecution under the espionage act.
JACK
So what should we do? Sue 'em?
HAMMOND
There's still some time before the ceremony,
Colonel. I'd like to know how much he
knows before he goes to print. Do you
know how to find him?
JACK
I'll let him find me, Sir.
Daniel is helping Sha're through the labour
DANIEL
It's okay - when the pain comes you
have to breathe.
SHA'RE
It comes too soon!
DANIEL
The baby will be fine, you just have
to worry about getting through this
yourself.
SHA'RE
When the child comes forth the demon
will return.
DANIEL
I know.
SHA'RE
Apophis comes for me.
TEAL'C
It was not the ship of Apophis.
DANIEL
Then who?
TEAL'C
It was the ship of Heru-ur.
SHA'RE
He is a great enemy of Apophis. He will
take my child. Daniel!
DANIEL
It's okay, breathe, breathe! This is
where we hid from Ra. Remember? Remember?
SHA'RE
I remember.
DANIEL
We're safe here.
TEAL'C
You are incorrect, Daniel Jackson. If
it is Sha're that Heru-ur seeks, he
will find us. We cannot remain.
DANIEL
Well I am not leaving her.
TEAL'C
The moment the child is born, the Goa'uld
within Sha're will re-emerge.
DANIEL
I said I am not leaving her, Teal'c.
TEAL'C
Then I will do what I can to keep the
Horus guard away from you.
SHA'RE
You do love me.
DANIEL
Yes, I do.
Jack is sitting on a bench outside
REPORTER
Looking for me? Find out what the reporter
knows while your people check on his
credentials.
JACK
Ah, that's a cliché, Armand.
REPORTER
I'm very good at this, Colonel. I've
been doing it a while. Granted, this'll
be the biggest story I've ever broken,
but then it's the biggest story anyone's
broken, isn't it?
JACK
Tell me.
REPORTER
Look, I've got all I need. I don't need
you, but I've gotta admit I wanted to
meet you anyway. When this breaks you're
gonna be a hero.
JACK
Cool. So what're you gonna say about
me?
REPORTER
Subtle. Okay, I'll do you a favour.
You're the team leader of a unit called
SG-1. Between nine and twelve such units
operate out of Cheyenne Mountain under
Norad. You use a device called a Stargate
to travel light years from here.
JACK
Wow, that's pretty amazing.
REPORTER
The program costs us over seven billion.
The defence department hopes to bring
back superior technologies to offset
the expenditure.
JACK
Armand, let me do you a favour. You
don't know anything. Don't embarrass
yourself.
REPORTER
I know that those two brilliant flashes
in the night sky a few months ago were
really alien ships on their way to attack
Earth. You blew them up.
JACK
I did. Alright. If you're gonna go ahead
with it, I wanna make sure you get one
thing right. It's O'Neill, with two
Ls. There's another Colonel O'Neil with
only one L, he has no sense of humour
at all.
REPORTER
The story's going to run, Colonel.
JACK
It'll read like science fiction, Armand.
REPORTER
This country has no official secrets
act.
JACK
I know that.
REPORTER
You can't stop me.
JACK
I know that too.
REPORTER
You don't think anyone'll believe it.
JACK
I'm sure someone will. But it's not
me.
REPORTER
We'll see. That's two Ls, right?
A car speeds towards the reporter, knocking him down
JACK
You! 911, ambulance, now! Don't move,
don't try to move.
REPORTER
You,you did this.
JACK
No. No, we didn't do this.
REPORTER
Son of a...
He dies
Abydos
JAFFA
My lord, I have questioned many in the
city. Apophis' queen is here, as you
suspected, lord.
HERU'UR
Apophis will return through the Stargate
to claim his child.
JAFFA
We shall be here, my lord.
HERU'UR
His queen and child are to be taken
alive.
Kasuf is being hit
JAFFA
Where is your daughter?
KASUF
I cannot tell you what I do not know!
What, would you have me lie?
Teal'c enters
TEAL'C
Jaffa!
He zats him
Back in Washington
SAM
Dad? I've been looking all over for
you.
JACOB
You must be disappointed. Any idea why
the President cancelled?
SAM
Colonel O'Neill witnessed an accident.
The President couldn't adjust his schedule.
Bad timing all round. General Hammond's
going to present us with our medals
at a private ceremony back at the base.
JACOB
Well, it's the honour that matters,
whether I can be there or not.
SAM
Dad?
JACOB
I have cancer, Sam.
SAM
What?
JACOB
Lymphoma.
SAM
That's bad.
JACOB
Well, it's not good. But it's not the
worst. Don't you worry. I'll be around
for a while.
SAM
Oh God, Dad!
JACOB
I was hoping to stick around long enough
to see you become an astronaut. Sweetheart,
I don't care what it is you do in that
mountain, nothing in the world can live
up to the chance to actually go into
space. Not for you. It's something you're
wanted your whole life. And I admit
it, I want to see you fulfil your life's
dreams before I die.
SAM
It's my dream, doesn't that make it
up to me?
JACOB
Fathers have dreams too.
SAM
Sorry, I can't.
JACOB
Alright. Like I said, this thing's going
to go on for months, so you don't have
to check up on me tomorrow.
SAM
Dad, please don't go like this.
JACOB
Congratulations on the medal. I'm sure
you deserve it.
SAM
Dad!
Sha're is about to give birth
SHA'RE
Daniel!
DANIEL
It's alright, Sha're, push.
SHA'RE
No! The demon will come back!
DANIEL
You have to push.
SHA'RE
But I will lose you Daniel!! Please!!
DANIEL
Look at me.
SHA'RE
Please!!!
DANIEL
Look at me! I love you! I will always
love you. You understand? The Goa'uld
will never be able to take that away
from us. Do you understand me? Never.
SHA'RE
Oh Daniel, the pain comes again!
DANIEL
I'm here.
SHA'RE
Daniel! Daniel!
DANIEL
I'm here! And now the baby is here.
Now you have to push.
The baby is born
DANIEL
It's a boy. It's a boy.
AMAUNET
Give me the child.
Teal'c enters wearing a Horus Jaffa helmet
TEAL'C
Bring me the child of Apophis.
AMAUNET
Apophis my pharaoh will destroy you
both for this.
TEAL'C
Tell him Heru-ur has taken his son as
his own.We have little time. We must
go.
Daniel takes the baby to Kasuf
DANIEL
It's your grandson.
KASUF
He is beautiful, yes?
DANIEL
Yes he is. You cannot remain here, good
father, you must go into hiding.
KASUF
You are telling me that the demon has
returned to reclaim my daughter.
DANIEL
Yes.
KASUF
I will need a nursing woman.
TEAL'C
You must find one whom you can trust.
One who is not afraid of hardship.
KASUF
So it may be that I will never see my
daughter again.
DANIEL
Sha're is strong, good father, she will
not give up. And neither will I.
Jack and Sam are recieving their medals from Hammond, back at
the SGC
HAMMOND
Colonel Jack O'Neill, Captain Samantha
Carter, you have distinguished yourself
by heroism involving voluntary risk
of life. Against impossible odds, with
only the help of your team members Teal'c
and Dr Daniel Jackson, you destroyed
both Goa'uld spacecraft that were poised
to attack this world. Your exemplary
courage and heroism reflect great credit
upon yourself and the United States
Air Force.
SAM
Thank you, Sir.
HAMMOND
I'm only sorry that the accident made
it impossible for the President himself
to do this.
SAM
I beg to differ, Sir. It's an honour
to receive it from you.
HAMMOND
Congratulations, Captain. I know Dr
Jackson is expecting you on Abydos;
you may ship out when ready.
SAM
I'll be geared up and ready to go in
ten minutes, Colonel.
HAMMOND
Dismissed. It was an accident.
JACK
Yes Sir.
Daniel is brought in front of Heru'ur. Teal'c is still in disguise
TEAL'C
My lord!
HERU'UR
Kel shak, Jaffa.
TEAL'C
Kel shak, Heru-ur. The Serpent guards
of Apophis have taken the child.
HERU'UR
Who is this human?
TEAL'C
He claims his people are the Tau'ri,
enemies of Apophis.
HERU'UR
You were among the warriors who defeated
Apophis?
DANIEL
As a matter of fact I was. The Tau'ri
are stronger than you think. An alliance
would prove extremely useful to both
of us, against our common enemy.
HERU'UR
Alliance? You are nothing. Your world
is nothing. Once I have conquered Apophis,
I will make slaves of your people. You
will serve me.
DANIEL
No, I don't think so.
HERU'UR
Kneel before your god!
He hit's Daniel, who falls to his knee's. The gate is activated
from offworld
TEAL'C
My lord, the Stargate!
HERU'UR
Apophis comes, stand ready.
Jack and Sam come out of the Stargate
HERU'UR
Tau'ri, kree!
JACK
What the hell? Cover me!
There's a firefight, with Heru'urs Jaffa being killed. Jack tries
to shoot the Goa'uld, to no effect
HERU'UR
You dare challenge me?
JACK
I was thinking about it.
He throws a knife which hit's Heru'urs ribbon device and goes
through his hand
HERU'UR
You will pay for this insolence!
Heru'ur rings up
SAM
Teal'c?
JACK
Somebody explain to me what just happened?
TEAL'C
It is a lengthy tale, O'Neill.
JACK
Long story, Teal'c.
SAM
Good thing you remembered the shield's
deflection capability's directly proportional
to the amount of kinetic energy directed
at it.
JACK
Right. We should get out of here.
The gate is activated from offworld
DANIEL
Apophis.
JACK
What?
TEAL'C
We must cover ourselves.
They hide and Apophis comes through the gate
APOPHIS
Jaffa. Kel Amonet?
AMAUNET
I am here, my pharoah.
APOPHIS
The child?
AMAUNET
Stolen, by your enemy Heru'ur. Forgive
me, my pharoah, for failing you.
APOPHIS
Jaffa! Shal tek! Come home with me,
my queen.
They walk towards the gate. Amaunet looks directly at Daniel,
who is hidden
SAM
Sir, there's still a Goa'uld ship on
top of us.
JACK
Dial us home Captain, please. You alright?
DANIEL
No. No, I'm not. But I will be.
