STARGATE SG1
Episode 408
"THE FIRST ONES"
By
Brad Wright
Daniel and Rothman are digging at a site. They find a queen goa'uld
that Rothman names Cleopatra , Cleo for short. This Goa'Uld has
no naquada which is found in most Goa'Uld. Rothman sends Hawkins
for a water run. Daniel calls Lodar over to help him archive
their findings. As he's archiving, Lodar sees something charge
for him and opens fire. The thing knocks Daniel down after killing
Lodar. Someone yells Daniel's name as he's being dragged away
uconscious.
OPENING CREDITS!
The iris is closed over the activating gate.
TECH DAVIS
Unscheduled offworld activation. It's
SG-11, Sir.
GH
Open the iris.
DAVIS
Yes, Sir.
SG-1 are standing behind GH & Davis.
SAM
Daniel's with them, isn't he?
GH
They're not scheduled to check in for
2 more days.
SG-1 & GH run to control room. Rothman comes in gasping for air,
breathing hard. He explains to GH & SG-1 that Lodar's dead, and
the rest of his team went after it, some indigenous lifeform.
JACK
Daniel?
ROTHMAN
No, No, No! It TOOK Daniel! That's why
the others went after it!
SAM
How long ago?
ROTHMAN
I don't know! Maybe 3 hours! Daniel?
He's still alive! (Hysterically) That
thing was draggin him!!!!
JACK
You saw it?
ROTHMAN
Just for a second.
JACK
Request permission to lead Search and
rescue.
ROTHMAN
But if I had to guess, I'd say it was
an Unas.
JACK
A what?!?!
ROTHMAN
It was like the thing in your mission
report from Cimeria. (Rothman takes
a puff from an inhaler)
JACK
Basically, we're talking about a Goa'Uld
with teeth and claws, Sir.
TEAL'C
Not necessarily, O'Neill.
SAM
Daniel believed that 888 was the planet
from which all goa'uld symbiotes originated.
TEAL'C
There could be unas there who have never
been taken as hosts.
JACK
We're still talking about a big, stinky
monster. Makes no difference.
TEAL'C
Indeed it does. These unas would be
far more primative and lack the degenative
powers than Unas we have previously
encountered.
SAM
What would a primative unas want with
Daniel.
JACK
I recommend units 1&2, P90's. I also
recommend we leave right now, Sir.
GH
You have a go.
Sam, Teal'C and Jack leave.
Next shot to Danny waking up. Sounds of heavy breathing. His
hands are bound. The Unas turns. URGH! Get that boy a paper bag!
He ain't cute like Thor, gang! He growls @ Danny and lifts
him up by the ropes.
NEXT SHOT
UAV being launched thru the gate.
JACK
All right, listen up! We're a little
pressed for time here, so this will
have to serve as your mission briefing.
Daniel Jackson has been dragged off
by a creature called an UNAS! This is
a search and rescue. Any questions?
ROTHMAN
(Coming in with gear in his hands instead
of on his back) Uh . . . yes! I have
one! When exactly were you gonna tell
me we were leaving.
JACK
(Putting hat on) I wasn't.
ROTHMAN
OH!
JACK
Move out.
A sergent says the stargate is secure. Jack says to keep it that
way. Jack calls for sierra golf one one niner to come in. No
response from SG- 11. Sam says the UAV is on automatic running
a circular search pattern. Nothing yet. Teal'C points out that
Daniel would have contacted them by radio by now if he were able.
Sam wonders about the rest of SG-11. Jack says they might be
out of range. Teal'C says the Unas would be capable of traversing
a great distance in a short amount of time. Jack tell Teal'C
to take point, (front?) Pierce has their six, (back?), and Rothman
that he's with him.
NEXT SHOT
Unas with Daniel walking thru the forest.
DANIEL
(VERY out of breath!) Okay, I know it
seems completely unlikely for you to
understand a word I'm saying, but, I've
gone just as far as I can go at this
particular pace, so with your permission,
I'm gonna fall down now! (He falls to
the ground) Rest. This is something
you should become familiar with. Rest
. . . I means . . . Uh . . . REST .
. . (The Unas growls at him, he flintched
into the fetal position.) Close. Try
again, though . . . .RRRRREST! (the
unas looks confused) This . . . this
is uh . . . nothing that you need to
be worried about. (He pulls a radio
out of his pocket) Radio. It's uh .
. . so my friends can find me and shoot
you. (Standing up and talking into radio)
Uh, this is Daniel Jackson if anyone
can hear me---
The unas growls and hits the radio from Danny's hands. Growling,
he pulls the rope, pulling Daniel back to the ground
DANIEL
OK! I get it! No more radio! Radio bad.
Do you speak any kind of language at
all? I mean you must be intelligent,
I mean you made that necklace and those
clothes. (Unas pulls him up to his feet)
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was refreshing!
I'm good for another 10 miles.
Back to SG1 and gang walking thru woods.
SAM
Sir!
JACK
Yeah?
SAM
Fairly strong RDF signal. It's gone
now, not long enough to triangulate.
ROTHMAN
So, what, what's that mean?
SAM
Daniel may have tried to use his radio.
SOLDIER
Could be SG-11.
SAM
UAV picked up something. I can't explain
why it died out.
JACK
Alright, let's pick it up.
Daniel and unas reach a lake, unas looks up at the moons. Unas
stoops down, allowing Daniel to sit down.
DANNY
YES! Rest. This is uh . . . this is
good! This is . . . rest! (Daniel lays
down on his back) < AQ! Gets very bad
thought here!> (Unas starts to rock
back and forth and grunt. ) This is
some sort of meditation, or? (Danny
takes out a tape recorder and starts
to talk into it) This is DR Daniel Jackson,
uh, in case anybody finds this, I met a wonderful
new friend, and he's taking me on a
long jorney to see his planet. (Unas
looks @ him and growls) Just making
notes. At the moment, my main concern
is that my new friend is an aboriginal
Unas in it's un- goa'ulded state, and,
that I'm the evening meal. It, uh .
. . or rather, he appears to have underdeveloped
chin and faciel horns uh . . . which
indicates that he's a subspeciel, possibly
a juvinile. (Unas looks @ Mr. Blue eyes
. . . uh . . . I mean Danny and growls)
Shut up? (To unas) I understood that.
(Into tape recorder) We're communicating.
UNAS
(Chanting) A'ka Cha . A'Ka Cha.
DANNY
A'Ka Cha'Ka?
Unas continues chant.
DANNY
Chaka. Is that what you call yourself?
Chaka? (Points to self) Daniel. I'm
Daniel. Chaka something else? Chaka's
the moons? This is some sort of moon
chant? Moons coming into alignment?
(Unas growls) Moon chant. What was I
thinking?
UNAS
Shesh, shesh! SHESH!
DANNY
Shesh? Shesh? What is that?
UNAS
Shaka kaka!
UAV is seen flying over head.
DANNY
U.A.V.! U.A.V.! This is my friends looking
for me. (Unas continues to chant) You're
frightened? It's OK! It won't hurt you.
It won't hurt you.
Back to SG1. Jack is calling for SG11.
JACK
We're somewhere on your six. Do you
read? Where the hell is Hawkins?
SAM
The UAV would have run out of fuel by
now.
ROTHMAN
Maybe an unus got him.
Shot of something swimming in the water. Danny and Unas are approaching
the water.
DANNY
Hey! Water. I need water.
Unas takes him to the bank of lake, and Danny stoops down to
drink. Unas stops him , and motions for him to put his hand in
water, and bring water to his mouth in hand. Daniel holds up
his bound hands. Unas puts rope down. Daniel splashes water on
his face. Drinking water, he look @ unas who has his head turned.
Daniel runs away.
SG-1 and gang find base camp, and start to search it.
Back to Danny running. He reaches the edge of the river. Something
is looking at him from the water. He jumps in the water and starts
to swim. He reaches the other side of the river, and sees the
unas waiting. He freezes right there. He heard screetching and
a splash. He turns to see something swimming towards him. He
backs up onto shore, and the thing jumps out of the water. IT's
A GOA'ULD SYMBIOTE!!!! The unas grabs it in mid air, and tears
it in two. Danny looks discusted.
UNAS
Kaka! (Unas rubs blue goa'uld blood
on Danny's face.) Kaka!
DANNY
Kaka? Kek . . . dead! Keka means dead?
Danger? (Unas says KA) OK! Ka means
no. (Unas knocks Danny down to the ground)
Right. I won't do that again. (Unas
picks up Danny)
Back to SG1
ROTHMAN
Loder was killed over there.
TEAL'C
(Looking a loder's body) He appears
to have been killed by a being of great
strength.
JACK
(To Rothman) What was Loder doing?
ROTHMAN
Packing up fossilized Goa'Uld for transportation
back to earth.
JACK
You guys weren't doing anything that
would have provoked an attack?
ROTHMAN
I, I, I don't know.
JACK
(Sarcastically) You know Rothman, I'm
so glad you came!
ROTHMAN
OK, Then no. I doubt it very much. We'd
been at the dig for 3 weeks doing exactly
what Lodar's been doing for 3 weeks!
SOLDIER
Look at this! They got off a hell of
a lot of shots.
Teal'C confirms his theory about the unas by the stride and the
shape of the footprints. They can track it.
Another soldier says he found Hawkins just staring off into space.
JACK
Where's the rest of your men?
HAWKINS
We were attacked. Sanchez is dead for
sure. I don't know what happened after
that. We got split up. Some of them
might have made it . . . back.
ROTHMAN
OH! GOD!
SAM
Major, we've been trying to contact
you for the last few hours.
HAWKINS
(Somber) My men are dead, aren't they?
JACK
Look, Hawkins . . . I can't spare anybody
to take you back to the stargate. You're
gonna have ta stick with us. Can ya
do that?
HAWKINS
What ever you say, Sir.
JACK
Let's move out.
Danny and Unas arrive in the cave.
Back to SG1
SAM
Sir, I think we should rest.
JACK
Allright. Go to ground, boots on, no
fire. I'll take first watch.
Jack sits on ground, goa'uld symbiote watches him from water.
Next scene, Goa'uld symbiote's head is being heated on a fire.
Danny does not look too hungry at that site.
DANNY
Is this your cave? Your cave? It's nice.
(Unas takes the head off the stick and
throws it to Danny)
UNAS
Nan!
DANNY
Nan? (Holding the head) Nan is Goa'Uld?
Is Symbiote? Nan?
UNAS
Ka! Nan. (He takes a bit of the symbiote's
body)
DANNY
Eat! Eat. Nan is eat! (To self) of course.
No, NO! If I am the main course, I'd
rather you fill up on the appetizers.
So . . . (Throw head @ unas) Ka!
UNAS
Throws head back) NAN!
DANNY
(Throws head) KA!
Danny & Unas throw head back and forth 2 times & says eat & no!
Danny's starting to laugh. They do look like a couple of 5 year
olds.
UNAS
(Laughing) NAN!
DANNY
(Laughing) Right! Uh, toss the symbiote
head! That's very popular, very interesting!
(Unas is still laughing) Yes, all the
kids are doing this! (Throw head into
fire) Uh-Oh! Look out! In the fire,
but . . . (Digs in pocket & produces
some sort of pie; I'd say an Little
Debbie Oatmeal Cream pie?) NAN!
UNAS
KA!
DANNY
Now, don't say KA till you've tried
it! (Opens it , looking adorable!) (Unas
smells it) Nan. (Danny takes a bite
closing his eyes like he's REALLY enjoying
it!) (He stops when he sees Unas looking
at him.) (Unas takes it away from him
, smells it, then licks it.)
UNAS
(Taking a bite of pie) RRRR.
DANNY
MMMM ! MMMMMM!
UNAS
RRRRRRR
DANNY
That's funny! I met my father in law
like this.
UNAS
RRRRR . . .
DANNY
Yeah, like that!
SG-1 in the dark.
JACK
Rothman! (Hits Rothman)
ROTHMAN
What?! Colonel?!
JACK
You notice anything weird about Hawkins?
ROTHMAN
Weird?
JACK
Different.
ROTHMAN
(Sleepily rubbing eyes) Different.
JACK
Odd?
ROTHMAN
Odd?!
JACK
Rothman!
ROTHMAN
OH! I'm still not awake yet, Colonel,
I'm sorry!
JACK
Well, you work with him. Tell me if
you noticed any thing . . . out of the
ordinary?
ROTHMAN
(Puts his glasses on & looks at Hawkins)
He seems like . . . Hawkins! I, I don
. . . That's the way he is!
JACK
Ya sure?
ROTHMAN
No. It's not my thing.
JACK
What isn't?
ROTHMAN
People. I mean give me a million year
old fossil, and I'll tell you what it
had for breakfast, but I, I , I'm not
too good with people. They're too recent.
Jack looks at Sam. Shot goes to Hawkins with the glowing eyes!
DANNY
(In the TR) I'm in a cave. There are
crude drawings, pictigraphs. It really
seams to have comprehention of Goa'Uld
symbiote structure. As well as their
ability to blend. Obviously the unas
who were taken over must have figured
out how to work the gate and left but
. . . not all of them. (He talks about
the necklace protecting them from symbiote.
He goes on about a rite of passage.
Not funny at all.)
Unas cuts Danny's face. Put a line of Danny's blood next to a
drawing of the unas dragging a man away.
DANNY
I think I've just been marked for death!
Shot to Teal'C overlooking the water.
SAM
Teal'C, we're moving out.
Symbiote watches Teal'C from water. Teal'C stops.He hears movement
in water. He activates his staff. Symbiote jumps out of water.
It's flying thru the air with WINGS!!!! Teal'C shoots it. Something
really big kinda comes out of the water. Makes a lot of splashing.
You hear screetching. The humans approach.
TEAL'C
(Staff pointed @ humans) Come no closer!
JACK
What was that?
TEAL'C
Lower your weapons!
JACK
What?!
TEAL'C
One or more of you may have become hosts
to a Goa'Uld during our watch.
Jack looks at Sam who looks back at him.
SAM
Teal'C, that doesn't make any sense!
I don't sense . . .
TEAL'C
Cause you yourself may have been compromised.
JACK
Well, what makes you think there are
Goa'Uld around here.
TEAL'C
These waters abound with them. Any one
who have ventured to the edge has put
them selves at risk.
ROTHMAN
No, the Goa'Uld fossils we found are
millions of years old. I've been on
this planet for weeks.
TEAL'C
Then perhaps you maintained the pretence
of being human.
ROTHMAN
I think I would know if there was a
snake in my head!
JACK
Carter?
SAM
I can't explain it, Sir. I don't even
sense the ones that are in the water.
ROTHMAN
Daniel & I found no traces of Naquata
in the symbiote fossil. Maybe that's
why -
TEAL'C
Enough! Relinquish your weapons immediately!
SOLDIER
Hold on! How do we know YOU'RE not one
of them?
SAM
Symbiotes can't blend with a Jaffa.
SOLDIER
Yeah? Well, look at my neck. Do you
see a scar?
TEAL'C
A goauld may enter thru the mouth leaving
no visible scar. Therefore it may be
impossible to tell who among you has
been taken and who has not.
SAM
Sir, Teal'C is right. He's the only
one we can be sure of, even you and
me.
JACK
(Thinks a few seconds) Do as he says.
Everyone takes off their weapons.
SAM
What about Daniel?
TEAL'C
None of you can be trusted to proceed.
SOLDIER
You think you can bring Daniel back
alone?
TEAL'C
I do, and I will. (Into radio) Sargent
Colburn.
COLBURN
Colburn?
TEAL'C
One or more of our team may have been
compromised by a goa'uld parisite.
COLBURN
How many?
TEAL'C
That may be impossible to detirmine.
I intend to restrain them at this location,
and continue on.
JACK
What?!
TEAL'C
I will leave this frequency open so
that you may locate them and return
to the SGC. Take extreme caution.
COLBURN
We're on our way.
TEAL'C
(Throwing some ties @ Jack) Bind their
hands and feet tight with those. I will
then do the same to you, O'Neill.
Danny wakes up in the cave. He takes a big rock. He wants to
hit the unas, but slams it into the ground instead. He offers
to help the unas with the cut on his hand.
Teal'C is binding Jack's hands.
JACK
I'm telling you, It's gotta be Hawkins!
TEAL'C
Trust in me, O'Neill.
JACK
What if I'm not O'Neill?!
TEAL'C
Then I was not talking to you.
Teal'C leaves.
SOLDIER
What if one of those Unas come by? What
will we do then?
SAM
Teal'C didn't have any other choice,
Captain.
Hawkins has that look like Apophis .
Daniel is taking the bullet out of the unas's hand. He pleads
with unas to let him go. He writes something on the wall.
ROTHMAN
This is ridiculous! I'm not a Goa'Uld!
JACK
Well, then why didn't you say so? Could've
straightened this whole thing out. (Sam
kinda smirk @ Jack's comment)
HAWKINS
(Shot of his hands with a cut on it)
So, which one of you is it?
JACK
(Sarcastically the way ONLY Jack could
do!) All right anybody with a snake
in their head raise their hands!
Hawkin's eyes glow, and he releases the restraints.
JACK
(Unbelivingly) Damn! Um . . . TEAL'C!!!!
TEAL'C!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Hawkins picks up
a gun.) TEAL'C!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Looks around, hysterically) TEAL'C!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Hawkins points the gun @ Jack. Jack
flintches, Teal'C shoots Hawkins with
the staff in the back. Twice. His eyes
glow, and he falls dead.) Well, that
took ya long enough!
TEAL'C
You are welcome, O'Neill. I knew if
there was a Goa'Uld among you, he would
be strong enough to free himself. (He
smiles, and goes to release others)
SAM
You had to wait long enough to make
sure Hawkins was the only one.
TEAL'C
Yes.
SOLDIER
You satisfied now?
TEAL'C
I am.
ROTHMAN
Glad that's over with! (Teal'C sees
a cut on Rothman's hand. Rothman's eyes
glow. He knocks Teal'C backwards., takes
his staff, shoots the captain that I
refer to as soldier, and gets a chest
full of lead courtesy of Jack!)
JACK
You gonna live?
SOLDIER
Yeah. I think so.
JACK
Meet up with Colburn. Head back to the
stargate.
SOLDIER
Yeah. How long do you figure he's been
Goa'Uld?
SECOND SOLDIER
Could've been the whole time, we just
didn't know it.
SAM
They deserve a decent burial, Sir.
JACK
Yes, they do.
SOLDIER
We'll take care of it, Sir. Go find
Doctor Jackson.
Daniel and Unas go further into cave. SG-1 are at the beginning
of the cave. Danny wrote this way on the wall with an arrow.
Daniel and Unas run into other unas. The other unas makes an
advance to wards Danny. Unas stops him. SG-1 comes in, Danny
stops them from shooting. The alpha male wants Danny as dinner.
The alpha male makes an advance toward Danny. Sam and jack open
fire. A fight ensues between Alpha male and Danny's friend. Danny's
friend kicks the Alpha male's Ass, and becomes the alpha male.
THE END
