                                 "THE DEVIL YOU KNOW"

                                           By

                                    Robert C. Cooper




                                     HALLWAY JACK
                         So we’re talking about a rescue mission 
                         Marty: No one has ever escaped from 
                         Netu. No one except for Jolinar
 
               
                                     BRIEFING ROOM SAM
                         I’ve never had anything more than scattered 
                         flashes of her memories Marty: the Tok’ra 
                         have technology that aids the recall 
                         of memories
 
               
               Teltak

               
               Rosha being tortured and Sam experiencing the pain

               
                                     SAM
                         Shut it off! Shut it off!

               
                                     JACK
                         Do it!

               
                                     SAM
                         She was tortured... so badly

               
               Teltak

               
                                     JACK
                         It’s her father, she knows the stakes
 
                         
               
                                     MARTY
                         But if Samantha cannot recall...

               
                                     JACK
                         It’s been done before. It can be done 
                         again

                                     MARTY
                         The atmosphere around the moon is impenetrable 
                         by ship. The only way to reach the surface 
                         is in the descent pods

                                     JACK
                         It’s certainly not Emerald City

               
                                     CAVERN SAM
                         We’ve come to see Bynarr. Jack gets 
                         hit by the blast from the hand device 
                         Bynarr: (distorted) Who asks for me 
                         by name? Sam: I do! Bynarr: Throw them 
                         in the pit
 
               
                                     THE PIT DAD
                         Sam... Sam: Dad? Dad: Are you crazy? 
                         Jack: Uh, apparently Dad: Sokar’s fleet 
                         is ten times larger than we thought

                         then kill them
 
               
               
                                     THE PIT SAM
                         There are transportation rings in Bynarr’s 
                         quarters

                         And now, the conclusion

               
               Bynarr’s quarters

               
               Apophis’ eyes flash

               
                                     JACK
                         You do understand we’re not too happy 
                         to see you?
 
               
                                     APOPHIS
                         (distorted) Your insolence is music 
                         to my ears. When I first saw you here 
                         I knew I had found the path out of damnation. 
                         You will be the means by which I reclaim 
                         the power and position that is rightfully 
                         mine
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         Your mate Amaunet is dead.

               
               Apophis looks almost unhappy

               
                                     DANIEL
                         Sorry to ruin your day. Actually, no, 
                         I’m wrong about that. I’m not sorry
 
                         
               
                                     APOPHIS
                         Sokar sent word to me of Amaunet’s death. 
                         I did not believe it
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         Well, believe it. It’s true

               
                                     APOPHIS
                         Then it must also be true that Teal’c 
                         is the murderer
 
               
                                     JACK
                         Oh, that’s wrap things up real nice 
                         for you, wouldn’t it?
 
               
                                     APOPHIS
                         Why is the shol’va not with you?

               
               The Other Guy looks down at Daniel, then grabs him.

               
                                     OTHER GUY
                         This one conceals something

               
               He pulls out the communication device and hands it to Apophis
 
               
               
                                     APOPHIS
                         A communication device. Teal’c, this 
                         is your god, Apophis. Risen from the 
                         fires of Netu. The fate of your friends 
                         will be pleasant compared to what I 
                         have planned for you. Return them to 
                         the pit. Kintac  You will be my first 
                         prime
 
               
                                     KINTAC
                         It is my honour

               
                                     APOPHIS
                         Search them, and do whatever is necessary 
                         to ensure that they do not escape again. 
                         But do not kill them. When they are 
                         done serving us, I will have that pleasure 
                         for myself
 
               
               The pit

               
               The trapdoor is shut, Jen tries not to sing the theme tune...
 
               
               
                                     MARTY
                         I warned you when you sent Apophis through 
                         the ‘Gate that he could be revived using 
                         a sarcophagus. Sokar would rather see 
                         his victims suffering than dead
 
               
                                     JACK
                         He doesn’t seem to be suffering much
 
                         
               
               Dad is unconscious in Sam’s arms. She puts a hand on his forehead
 
               
               
                                     SAM
                         He’s burning up

               
                                     DANIEL
                         What is Apophis thinking? He can’t hope 
                         to defend himself from Sokar
 
               
                                     JACK
                         He seemed pretty confident to me

               
                                     MARTY
                         Apophis has one chance. He must convince 
                         Sokar not to kill him. If the reason 
                         is good enough, he may even be able 
                         to buy his freedom
 
               
                                     JACK
                         With us?

                         Bynarr is dead. Sokar will come.

               
               The Denizens are a little shocked

               
                                     APOPHIS
                         You fear he will bring his wrath down 
                         upon us. But he cannot make out existence 
                         any worse

                         He could come in a ship and wipe us

                                     APOPHIS
                         I can deliver us from this place. I 
                         have killed the Devil’s servant! I will

                         Well, this experience doesn’t seem to 
                         have humbled him much
 
               
                                     APOPHIS
                         (v.o.) The dawn of our deliverance is 
                         upon us!

                         Bow to Apophis, the deliverer!

               
               Everyone bows their heads

               
                                     APOPHIS
                         Yes. Sokar will come

               
               The crowd cheers

               
                                     APOPHIS
                         I say let him come!

               A guard walks in

               
                                     GUARD
                         My lord, a cargo ship was spotted in 
                         orbit around Netu. Two gliders gave 
                         chase but the cargo ship entered hyperspace 
                         and escaped
 
               
                                     SOKAR
                         We must assume that the ship contained 
                         spies. The attack on the System Lords 
                         will begin sooner than planned. You 
                         will have the fleet ready in two days.
 
                         
               
                                     GUARD
                         My lord, the very best we can do...

               
               He is silenced by a look from Sokar. Sokar raises a hand, and 
               the Other Guard almost smiles. The Guard knows not to fight
 
               
               
                                     GUARD
                         The fleet will be ready, my lord

               Apophis is studying his reflection. Kintac walks in

               
                                     APOPHIS
                         How many follow me?

               
                                     KINTAC
                         Three hundred. The rest have been banished 
                         to the surface. They will change their 
                         minds or die
 
               
                                     APOPHIS
                         Did you find anything when you searched 
                         the intruders?
 
               
               Kintac pulls out the device that switches on the memory recall 
               thingy
 
               
                                     KINTAC
                         Just this

               
               He hands it to Apophis

               
                                     KINTAC
                         Even if all the Denizens decide to serve 
                         you, what good will it do? You cannot 
                         fight Sokar with crude weapons
 
               
                                     APOPHIS
                         Bynarr said he had one day to determine 
                         the identity of the intruders and report 
                         back
 
               
                                     KINTAC
                         Then we have one day before Sokar sends 
                         his ship to destroy us
 
               
                                     APOPHIS
                         Not if I have something he wants

               
                                     KINTAC
                         You will discover the identity of the 
                         intruders 
 
               
                                     APOPHIS
                         I already know their identity. By the 
                         time Sokar arrives I will know much 
                         more. Bring me the woman
 
               
               The pit

               
               The door is opened, and Kintac plus Jen’s Big Strong Men come 
               in
 
               
                                     KINTAC
                         The woman will come with me

                         Umm... I don’t think so

               
               Kintac fires his staff weapon, hitting Jack in the knee. Jen 
               not happy. Sam rushes to his side as he bites off what Jen assumes 
               to be lots of naughty words
 
               
                                     SAM
                         OK, OK

               
               She leaves with them. When they’ve gone, Daniel and Marty go 
               to Jack’s aid
 
               
                                     MARTY
                         The wound appears cauterised but there 
                         may be bleeding beneath the surface

                         (so in pain) Oh... God...

               
               Daniel makes a tourniquet out of something and ties it round 
               the wound
 
               
                                     JACK
                         Easy!

               
               Daniel tightens the makeshift bandage

               Sam is hauled before Apophis. He nods to the guards then searches 
               her for the recall device.
 
               
                                     APOPHIS
                         You used this device to access the memories 
                         Jolinar left in your mind. That is the 
                         only way you could have known how to 
                         escape. I will use it to get you to 
                         tell me everything I want to know.

                         It doesn’t work that way.

                         I know how it works. When it is fully 
                         activated it makes your memories easily

                         No. I forgave you long ago. Why am I 
                         stuck in this? The same memory over 
                         and over. I guess if we never had this 
                         conversation neither one of us would 
                         be in this mess, would we? I would have 
                         gone on hating you and the military, 
                         I never would have got involved in the 
                         Stargate programme. You would have died 
                         of cancer
 
               
                                     DAD
                         Sam, I am dying

               
                                     SAM
                         What?

               
                                     DAD
                         I’m dying right now... (flash)... dying 
                         right now. Only you can save me (echoes) 
                         Tell me how to get home
 
               
                                     SAM
                         What?

               
                                     DAD
                         Tell me the way home, to Earth

               
                                     SAM
                         No. wait

               
               She gets up

               
                                     SAM
                         This is not right

               
                                     DAD
                         You’ll lose me forever if you don’t 
                         tell me the iris codes (echoes)
 
               
                                     SAM
                         This is not real

               
                                     DAD
                         Tell me

               
               Cut to Sam, and when we go back Apophis is there

               
                                     APOPHIS
                         (in Dad’s voice) Tell me

               
               The scene fades into Bynarr’s quarters

               
                                     APOPHIS
                         (yelling) Tell me!

               
                                     SAM
                         No!

               
                                     APOPHIS
                         tell me how to penetrate the Earth’s 
                         Stargate. Tell me how... or I will kill 
                         your father
 
               
               Sam shakes her head and we fade out in a white light

               
               Tok’ra base planet

               
                                     APOPHIS
                         (recording) Teal’c, this is your god, 
                         Apophis. Risen from the fires of Netu. 
                         The fates of your friends will be pleasant 
                         compared to what I have planned for 
                         you
 
               
               Teal’c switches it off

               
                                     TEAL’C
                         It was then that I realised they would 
                         not be able to execute the escape plan. 
                         I entered hyperspace to avoid the gliders 
                         that had detected my presence
 
               
                                     ALDWIN
                         You must have run the hyperspace engines 
                         at full power in order to make the journey 
                         so quickly
 
               
                                     TEAL’C
                         The situation was urgent

               
                                     ALDWIN
                         I understand your desire to report the 
                         information concerning Sokar’s planned 
                         attack against the System Lords as soon 
                         as possible. It may prove invaluable
 
                         
               
                                     TEAL’C
                         I have come seeking you assistance in 
                         order to rescue my friends and your 
                         fellow Tok’ra. I believe it to be only 
                         a matter of time before Sokar learns 
                         that Apophis has eliminated Bynarr and 
                         therefore takes action to restore control
 
                         
               
                                     ALDWIN
                         Wait here. I will consult the High Council 
                         and return shortly with a course of 
                         action
 
               
               He and the other Tok’ra leave

               
               Bynarr’s quarters

               
               A limping Jack [(((hugs)))] is brought before Apophis. He is 
               forced to kneel
 
               
                                     JACK
                         Ow! God...!

               
                                     APOPHIS
                         Major Carter was most forthcoming

               
                                     JACK
                         She didn’t tell you squat. Oh, and by 
                         the way, I won’t either
 
               
                                     APOPHIS
                         You are not here to provide information. 
                         You are here for my amusement
 
               
               The recall device is put on his temple

               
                                     JACK
                         Oh! God, no! All right, all right, all 
                         right...
 
               
               It is switched on

               
               Flashback

               
               We’re in what we assume is Jack’s back yard. He has a baseball 
               glove in his hand
 
               
                                     JACK
                         Charlie!

               
               Bynarr’s quarters

               
               Jack is reeling from the memory

               
                                     APOPHIS
                         You must be dying to quench your thirst
 
                         
               
               Kintac brings over the Blood of Sokar. One of Jen’s Big Strong 
               Men punches Jack on his bad leg so he cries out, allowing Kintac 
               to pour the liquid down his throat. Jack closes his eyes
 
               
               The pit

               
               Sam wakes up

               
                                     SAM
                         Dad?

               
                                     DANIEL
                         He’s, uh... not so good, but he’s still 
                         with us
 
               
                                     SAM
                         Apophis said he was gonna kill him
 
                         
               
                                     DANIEL
                         No. He, uh... he brought you back and 
                         took Jack
 
               
               Sam isn’t happy at the news

               
                                     MARTY
                         Are you OK?

               
                                     SAM
                         They gave me something called the Blood 
                         of Sokar
 
               
                                     MARTY
                         It is legendary. A strong narcotic that 
                         can cause very realistic hallucinations. 
                         I’m pretty sure I didn’t give anything 
                         up
 
               
                                     DAD
                         Sam?

               
               She crawls over to him

               
                                     SAM
                         I’m here. I’m here

               
                                     DAD
                         Sam, I hate to sound negative here
 
                         
               
                                     SAM
                         Shh... Save your strength

               
                                     DAD
                         I don’t think I’m gonna make it

               
                                     SAM
                         No. That is unacceptable. Think about 
                         seeing your grandchildren again. Don’t 
                         make me have to explain this to them
 
                         
               
               Dad nods then closes his eyes

               
                                     SAM
                         Martouf... If they come for you...
 
                         
               
                                     MARTY
                         I have endured torture before

               
                                     SAM
                         This is not like anything you could 
                         imagine. Everything seems real. Feelings, 
                         sensations. It’s like you’re actually 
                         there in your own past. And then suddenly 
                         everything seems wrong. Your mind gets 
                         all twisted. Just don’t let Apophis 
                         use Jolinar against you
 
               
                                     MARTY
                         How could he?

               
                                     SAM
                         You must be angry about what Jolinar 
                         had to do in order to escape from here. 
                         Martouf... she loved you.
 
               
               Marty nods

               
               Jack’s flashback

               
                                     JACK
                         Charlie! Sorry I’m late. I stopped to 
                         get you somethin’
 
               
               Shot of some playhouse thingy

               
                                     JACK
                         You in there?

               
               Charlie runs out from behind one of those plastic slide sets, 
               brandishing a green plastic gun
 
               
                                     CHARLIE
                         You’re dead! You’re dead!

               
               When he play acts the firing of the gun, we hear real gun shot 
               sounds
 
               
               Bynarr’s quarters

               
               Not a happy camper is Jack

                                     CHARLIE
                         Jeff Eisen gave it to me. It’s just 
                         a water gun
 
               
               Jack takes it from him

               
                                     JACK
                         It doesn’t matter

                         You have a gun (echoes)

               
               There’s a flash and the scene changes slightly

               
                                     JACK
                         That’s different

               
                                     CHARLIE
                         Why?

               
                                     JACK
                         Charlie... Charlie!

               
               Charlie walks away from Jack

               
                                     JACK
                         Where you goin’?

               
                                     CHARLIE
                         Inside

               
                                     JACK
                         Well, wait a minute. I got you somethin’. 
                         Come on, we’ll play some catch
 
               
                                     CHARLIE
                         This is not what happened, Dad. You’re 
                         changing everything just to make it 
                         better
 
               
               There’s a flash again

               
                                     JACK
                         I know. Can’t we just play catch?

               
                                     CHARLIE
                         What really happened is that you got 
                         mad at me and I went into the house. 
                         Two weeks from now I shot myself with 
                         your gun (echoes) your gun. We never 
                         played catch today and we never will
 
                         
               
                                     JACK
                         Why? Why can’t we just play catch?
 
                         
               
                                     FLASH CHARLIE
                         I’ll play... if you tell me... (flash)... 
                         if you tell me
 
               
               Bynarr’s quarters

               
               Still not happy

               
                                     FLASHBACK JACK
                         What? What do you want to know? I’ll 
                         tell you anything Hands Charlie the 
                         glove Charlie: Tell me how you made 
                         contact with the Asgard (echoes)
 
               
               
               [OK, how the hell does Apophis know all this? He’s not reading 
               their minds, just bringing certain memories to the front and 
               changing them!]
 
               
                                     JACK
                         You can’t know that.  This isn’t you 
                         Charlie: Sure it is. Come on, Dad. We’ll 
                         have a catch.Just like you want Jack: 
                         No. No.
 
               
               And we’re out in another white flash

               
               Tok’ra homeworld

               
               The rings on the Teltak drop Aldwin and a box inside. Teal’c 
               comes through to the back and eyes it suspiciously. Well, OK, 
               stoically.
 
               
                                     ALDWIN
                         I have been instructed to return to 
                         Netu
 
               
                                     TEAL’C
                         What is inside the container?

               
                                     ALDWIN
                         A weapon

               
                                     TEAL’C
                         For what purpose?

               
                                     ALDWIN
                         The Tok’ra High Council believes that 
                         the uprising of Apophis presents a key 
                         opportunity
 
               
               He opens the box

               
                                     ALDWIN
                         Sokar will take his mother ship into 
                         orbit around Netu to restore order there
 
                         
               
                                     TEAL’C
                         This weapon is intended for Sokar

               
                                     ALDWIN
                         Yes, but unfortunately we have no weapons 
                         capable of penetrating the shields of 
                         a Goa’uld mothership
 
               
                                     TEAL’C
                         How then will this weapon prove effective?
 
                         
               
                                     ALDWIN
                         I aim to launch it through the atmosphere 
                         of the moon into one of the holes of 
                         its surface and down into the core. 
                         There it will force the base elements 
                         into a cataclysmic chain reaction. The 
                         entire moon will explode, taking Sokar’s 
                         ship with it
 
               
                                     TEAL’C
                         Along with everything else on that moon 
                         
 
               
                                     ALDWIN
                         The Tok’ra would not do such a thing 
                         unless there was no other alternative. 
                         Sokar cannot be permitted to rise to 
                         a dominant power. It would end our chances 
                         of ever overthrowing the Goa'uld
 
               
                                     TEAL’C
                         What of rescuing my friends and the 
                         Tok’ra still trapped on that world?
 
                         
               
                                     ALDWIN
                         I am charged with my mission. If you 
                         intend to stand in my way, I will insist 
                         that you remain here on Vorash
 
               
                                     TEAL’C
                         I will accompany you

               
                                     ALDWIN
                         Then we must leave immediately

               
               The pit

               
               Jack is practically unconscious on the floor

               
                                     DANIEL
                         Jack?

               
                                     JACK
                         No... I don’t wanna go to school

               
               Daniel turns him over and he wakes up fully

               
                                     JACK
                         Ow...

               
                                     DANIEL
                         You OK?

               
                                     JACK
                         No

               
                                     DANIEL
                         They, uh... they took Martouf

               
                                     JACK
                         They put that damn memory thing on me. 
                         And then they gave me something... that 
                         reminded me of the 70s
 
               
                                     DANIEL
                         The Blood of Sokar

               
                                     JACK
                         Daniel...

               
                                     DANIEL
                         Yeah?

               
                                     JACK
                         I’m gonna pass out again

               
               And he does

               
               FX shot of the Teltak in hyperspace

               
               Teltak

               
                                     TEAL’C
                         If Sokar has not entered orbit around 
                         Netu when we arrive, a rescue could 
                         still be attempted
 
               
                                     ALDWIN
                         Yes. But if he is already in orbit, 
                         we must act swiftly and launch the weapon. 
                         I don’t like this any more than you 
                         do. But essentially, this is war. If 
                         Sokar ascends to ultimate power the 
                         consequences will be far greater than 
                         losing a few good people
 
               
                                     TEAL’C
                         I understand

               
                                     ALDWIN
                         Timing will be critical. Once the weapon 
                         has been launched it will take approximately 
                         twelve minutes for the reaction in the 
                         moon’s core to reach critical mass. 
                         If Sokar has enough advanced warning 
                         he will have time to escape the range 
                         of the explosion
 
               
               Another FX shot of the Teltak in hyperspace

               
               Bynarr’s quarters

               
                                     MARTY
                         No, please

               
               The memory device is removed by Apophis. He looks up as Sam is 
               brought into the room. Marty in his half-drugged state sees Rosha 
               being forced to kneel before him. The shot changes mid-flow so 
               we see Sam
 
               
                                     APOPHIS
                         Jolinar was your mate

               
               Marty smiles weakly at Rosha

               
                                     APOPHIS
                         Tell me the location of the Tok’ra resistance 
                         or she dies
 
               
                                     SAM
                         Don’t do it, Martouf

               
                                     APOPHIS
                         Silence

               
               Marty can only see Rosha

               
                                     MARTY
                         Please...

               
                                     APOPHIS
                         Tell me now

               
                                     ROSHA
                         I’m not Jolinar. Don’t tell him anything 
                         (echoes)
 
               
               Apophis aims the staff weapon at the back of Sam’s neck, and 
               opens it
 
               
                                     APOPHIS
                         Tell me

               
                                     MARTY
                         I cannot let him kill you

               
                                     ROSHA
                         No, Martouf. (softly) No, Martouf

               
               Marty starts to cry

               Sam does the Closed Eye Thing

               
                                     MARTY
                         The Tok’ra resistance is based on the 
                         planet Entac
 
               
               Apophis removes the staff

               
                                     APOPHIS
                         Return them to the pit. Bring me Daniel 
                         Jackson
 
               
               Marty and Sam are hauled off, leaving Apophis looking pretty 
               pleased with himself
 
               
               Sokar’s palace

               
               The Guard walks in

               
                                     SOKAR
                         Speak

               
                                     GUARD
                         Your fleet is ready, my lord

               
                                     SOKAR
                         You have done well

               
                                     GUARD
                         Bynarr has not yet reported as you wished
 
                         
               
                                     SOKAR
                         I will take my ship, and cleanse the 
                         underworld so that its fires may be 
                         reborn. Then I will launch the attack 
                         on the System Lords. Soon the entire 
                         realm of the Goa’uld will serve me... 
                         or suffer the fate of the damned
 
               
               Cavern

               
               Daniel is marched through

               
               The pit

               
               Jack is trying to sleep, Marty is recovering, Sam is cradling 
               Dad
 
               
                                     MARTY
                         I knew it was you

               
                                     SAM
                         You shouldn’t have done it, Martouf
 
                         
               
                                     MARTY
                         I could not watch him kill you, Samantha
 
                         
               
                                     SAM
                         You lied

               
                                     MARTY
                         Entac is a primitive planet. There are 
                         no Tok’ra there
 
               
                                     SAM
                         You were very convincing. I believed 
                         you
 
               
                                     MARTY
                         If Apophis believes he knows the location 
                         of the Tok’ra, what does he want from 
                         Dr Jackson?
 
               
               Flashback

               
               
               
               
               
               
               
               
               Bynarr’s communication device lights up

               
                                     SOKAR
                         Hear me, Bynarr. Why do you defy your 
                         lord, Sokar?
 
               
               Apophis looks from the communication device to Daniel, then hits 
               him. He then turns to the communicator
 
               
                                     APOPHIS
                         Bynarr is dead by my hand. I am Apophis, 
                         and the Denizens of Netu follow me
 
                         
               
               Kintac removes the device from Daniel

               
                                     SOKAR
                         I will bring the full force of my weapons 
                         down upon you. You will die in burning 
                         hell fire
 
               
                                     APOPHIS
                         First you will hear me

               
               Teltak

               
               They have arrived and are in orbit. However, so is Sokar’s mothership. 
               Aldwin presses some buttons and most of the power cuts out
 
               
               
                                     ALDWIN
                         We must hold our position in the shadow 
                         of the moon so we are not detected
 
                         
               
               [how do Goa’uld sensors work? Is it just a bunch of Jaffa looking 
               out of windows?]
 
               
               Bynarr’s quarters

               
                                     APOPHIS
                         Before you fire upon us, know this: 
                         I have tortured the intruders. Three 
                         from the Tauri and a Tok’ra. I have 
                         learnt much, including the location 
                         of the Tok’ra resistance. Bynarr was 
                         weak. He was incompetent. A Goa’uld 
                         of your superior power deserves more. 
                         I wish to serve you. I offer this information 
                         I have gathered as proof. Grant me an 
                         audience and allow me to show my reverence 
                         to you by bowing at your feet
 
               
                                     SOKAR
                         I will grant you this request

               
                                     APOPHIS
                         I am forever in your service

               
               The communicator shuts off

               
                                     APOPHIS
                         Take him away

               
               A Jaffa(?) hauls Daniel to his knees. Looking up, Daniel sees 
               his communicator on the table
 
               
                                     KINTAC
                         Be quick!

               
               Standing up, Daniel punches the Jaffa in the stomach. It’s like 
               punching a bag of flour. The Jaffa then takes a swing at Daniel 
               who flies across to and onto the table, grabbing the communicator 
               as he does so. The table then collapses from underneath him. 
               The Jaffa picks him up off the floor, and hauls him out. Kintac 
               send Jen’s Big Strong Men with him
 
               
                                     APOPHIS
                         Sokar will die by my hand and I will 
                         command his domain
 
               
                                     KINTAC
                         Surely he will not let you enter his 
                         ship with weapons
 
               
               Apophis takes off the hand device

               
                                     APOPHIS
                         Do you think I am a fool?  I have been 
                         planning this since the moment I was 
                         sent here. I will convince Sokar to 
                         make me the new lord of Netu. He will 
                         come down off his throne to brand me 
                         with his seal, and when he gets close 
                         enough...
 
               
               Apophis holds up his arm. Out of the sleeve shoots a blade which 
               then retracts. Kintac smiles. Apophis removes the key for the 
               rings from his neck
 
               
                                     APOPHIS
                         On my command, replace this... here
 
                         
               
               Kintac takes it, and Apophis stands under the rings. He nods 
               and Kintac activates the rings. Apophis is taken onto the ship...
 
               
               
               Teltak

               
               ...and is witnessed by Teal’c

               
                                     TEAL’C
                         Someone has transported from the surface 
                         of Netu to Sokar’s vessel
 
               
               Aldwin presses a couple of pads on the console which then flash
 
               
               
                                     ALDWIN
                         The weapon is ready for launch. Sokar’s 
                         ship is almost in position
 
               
               The pit

               
               Daniel is brought back in. Jack sits up. Marty goes over to Daniel
 
               
               
                                     DANIEL
                         Sokar’s ship is in orbit. Apophis went 
                         up to meet him. I managed to get this
 
                         
               
               He holds up the communicator. He hands it to Sam

               
                                     JACK
                         Nice

               
                                     SAM
                         Can Sokar’s ship pick up the transmission?
 
                         
               
                                     MARTY
                         The signal is coded

               
               She clicks it on

               
               Teltak

               
               Aldwin is preparing the weapon

               
                                     SAM
                         Teal’c, can you hear me?

               
                                     TEAL’C
                         (to Aldwin) Wait! (Into Comm) Major 
                         Carter, it is I
 
               
                                     SAM
                         Thank God

               
               Aldwin finishes the prepping of the missile

               
                                     TEAL’C
                         Wait!

               
               Aldwin gets out a Zat and aims it at Teal’c. The display is flashing- 
               it’s ready to launch. He hesitates for a second, then pushes 
               the button
 
               
               FX shot of the missile being launched

               
               Teltak

               
               Aldwin is resolute, Teal’c looks ready to kill him

               
               FX shot of the missile striking Netu

               
               The pit

               
               The room shakes. Dad wakes up. Distant cries in the background
 
               
               
                                     JACK
                         What the hell is that?

               
                                     MAN
                         Sokar is attacking!

               
               The room shakes again. The gas vent near the trapdoor starts 
               venting fire
 
               
                                     SAM
                         Teal’c, what’s going on?

               
               Teltak

               
               Aldwin lowers the Zat. Teal’c *so* wants to kill him

               
                                     TEAL’C
                         You have twelve minutes until Netu is 
                         destroyed
 
               
                                     SAM
                         What? Why?

               
                                     TEAL’C
                         I am here with the Tok’ra Aldwin. He 
                         has launched a weapon into the moon’s 
                         core which will explode, destroying 
                         Sokar’s ship which is in its orbit
 
                         
               
               The pit

               
                                     MARTY
                         The Tok’ra High Council must believe 
                         it is the only choice, otherwise they 
                         would not sacrifice us in this way
 
                         
               
                                     JACK
                         We’re not dead yet

               
               The room shakes again. Lots of cries in the background. The gas 
               vent shoots fire again
 
               
                                     SAM
                         I have an idea

               
               She, Marty and Jack go over to the vent

               
                                     SAM
                         Help me pack this. Fill in this vent. 
                         As many rocks as you can. Wedge them 
                         in real tight.
 
               
               They start to fill it

               
               Sokar’s ship

               
               Apophis is prostrated on the floor, and lifts his head, but stays 
               kneeling
 
               
                                     APOPHIS
                         My time of suffering has taught me the 
                         strength of your power, my lord
 
               
                                     SOKAR
                         Tell me the information you extracted 
                         from the intruders
 
               
                                     APOPHIS
                         I beg you to grant me the privilege 
                         of ruling Netu. Bynarr was not worthy 
                         of such honour
 
               
                                     SOKAR
                         Tell me the location of the Tok’ra rebellion
 
                         
               
                                     APOPHIS
                         That is only one of the many valuable 
                         things I have learnt
 
               
               Sokar lowers his hood, and leans forward

               
                                     SOKAR
                         Why do you try my patience? Tell me, 
                         and I will grant you your wish and brand 
                         you Lord of the Underworld
 
               
                                     APOPHIS
                         The Tok’ra are based on the planet Entac
 
                         
               
               Sokar sits back on his throne. He looks to the Other Guard who 
               grabs Apophis by the shoulders
 
               
                                     APOPHIS
                         What is the meaning of this?

               
                                     SOKAR
                         I recently conquered Entac. There are 
                         no Tok’ra there. Kill him. Slowly.
 
                         
               
               Teltak

               
                                     ALDWIN
                         We have less than nine minutes. If we 
                         stay here much longer, we risk being 
                         caught in the explosion ourselves
 
                         
               
                                     TEAL’C
                         I will take that risk

               
                                     ALDWIN
                         Even if Martouf and your friends somehow 
                         make it to the transporter rings on 
                         Netu, Sokar’s ship is in the direct 
                         path of the matter stream
 
               
               Teal’c starts to walk towards Aldwin

               
                                     ALDWIN
                         There is no way we can intercept them
 
                         
               
               Teal’c is getting up close and personal, so Aldwin tries to raise 
               the Zat, but Teal’c bats it away, then forces Aldwin into the 
               back of the Teltak
 
               
                                     ALDWIN
                         Teal’c, unhand me! Teal’c!

               
               Teal’c throws him in the back...

               
                                     ALDWIN
                         Teal’c, this is suicide

               
               ...and closes the door. Aldwin goes to the door

               
                                     ALDWIN
                         Teal’c!

               
               [don’t those things open from the inside too?]

               
               The pit

               
               They’ve just about filled in the hole now. The roomstarts to 
               shake again
 
               
                                     SAM
                         Go!

               
               The vent explodes, sending everything upwards and taking out 
               the trapdoor. My, isn’t that lucky.
 
               
               Sokar’s ship

               
               The Other Guard is using the cattle prod on Apophis

               
               The pit

               
               Dad is carried out as they climb out of the pit.

               
                                     DANIEL
                         We’re on our way

               
               Teltak

               
                                     TEAL’C
                         Timing is critical, Daniel Jackson. 
                         You must tell me precisely when you 
                         are ready
 
               
               Cavern

               
               They crawl their way long as the fire shoots up out of every 
               available hole. People are screaming in the background
 
               
               Teltak

               
                                     ALDWIN
                         Teal’c, listen carefully! In order to 
                         intercept the matter stream you must 
                         fly the cargo ship between Sokar’s ship 
                         and the planet. If we do not come to 
                         a complete stop we could miss part of 
                         the matter stream. Your friends would 
                         die. And that’s only if Sokar doesn’t 
                         blow us out of the sky
 
               
               Teal’c switches the power back on

               
               Bynarr’s quarters

               
                                     JACK
                         get in position!

               
                                     DANIEL
                         Almost there, Teal’c

               
               Sokar’s ship

               
               Apophis is still being prodded. The Guard runs in

               
                                     GUARD
                         Forgive me! The hellfires of Netu are 
                         erupting, my lord
 
               
                                     SOKAR
                         What?

               
                                     GUARD
                         The ship’s sensors indicate that the 
                         moon’s core ahs become unstable
 
               
                                     SOKAR
                         That is impossible. I control Netu!
 
                         
               
                                     GUARD
                         We must move the ship

               
               Apophis takes his chance and stabs the Other Guard with the blade. 
               The Guard tries to attack him, but Apophis blocks it, spins round, 
               and slits his throat. Sokar stands up, and holds out his hand 
               device. He activates his personal shield just as Apophis grabs 
               the Guard’s staff and fires it. Apophis then runs out of the 
               room. Sokar, ever the unhappy loser, roars [yes, roars. That’s 
               what the CC on my DVD says]
 
               
               Teltak

               
               We’re getting mightily close to the mothership now

               
               Bynarr’s quarters

               
               The room is still 'shaking it all about'

               
                                     JACK
                         Marty?

               
               Marty finishes hot-wiring the rings

               
                                     MARTY
                         Now!

               
               He runs to join the others

               
                                     DANIEL
                         We’re ready, Teal’c

               
               The rings activate, and everyone looks up

               
               Once clear, Teal’c opens the door to the back part

               
                                     TEAL’C
                         We have escaped

               
                                     JACK
                         Iced tea. Air conditioning. Water.
 
                         
               
               Teal’c hands him a bottle

               
                                     JACK
                         Thanks

               
               Teal’c returns Aldwin’s Zat

               
                                     ALDWIN
                         I’m sorry I doubted you

               
                                     TEAL’C
                         I am as surprised as you that we survived
 
                         
               
               Marty passes the water to Sam

               
                                     SAM
                         Thank you

               
               She passes it to Dad

               
                                     DAD
                         Do you have any leave coming up?

               
                                     SAM
                         Yeah, a little

               
               Dad drinks

               
                                     DAD
                         I was thinking maybe we could take a 
                         little father-daughter vacation together
 
                         
               
                                     SAM
                         That’d be great, Dad

               
                                     DAD
                         I hear Alaska’s cold this time of year
 
                         
               
               She laughs softly, kisses his cheek, then hugs him

               
               FX shot of the Teltak in hyperspace, and Jen gets all excited 
               as it’s going from left to right instead of right to left as 
               it has been every other time
 
               
               Delmak

               
               Netu is doing a great impression of a firework in the sky. The 
               camera pulls back until we’re on the balcony of the palace where 
               Apophis is watching this. He turns and faces the camera... and 
               we’re out.
 
               
               THE END
