EXT&mdash;ALIEN PLANET

[A group of four unfamiliar people, possibly natives, are walking and talking. One is an old man. The others are younger, perhaps in their 20s. They are wearing robes. There are ruins. Some of the archways look like those on Kheb ("Maternal Instinct").]

SHAMDA The new animal took a look around and immediately went and chose a place next to the laziest, greediest beast in the stable. When the master saw this, he put a yoke on him at once and took him back to the merchant.

KHORDIB (sounds exasperated) We've heard this one already.

SHAMDA Has it lost its meaning?

KHORDIB I mean you told it just now on the way down to the waterhole.

[There is a sudden bright flash of light. Camera spirals in slowly from overhead on a man lying naked on the ground. The nomads approach the figure. Close up of blues eyes opening, looking afraid and bewildered. One of the natives moves closer.]

KHORDIB Who are you?

[We now see clearly that the naked man is Daniel Jackson. He eyes the nomad warily.]

DANIEL I don't know.

[End teaser. Credits.]

EXT&mdash;SGC

[Truck leaving SGC tunnel.]

INT&mdash;SGC&mdash;OFFICE OF DANIEL JACKSON/JONAS QUINN

[Jonas is sitting at a desk in the lab/office. He is reading some papers and the tablet taken from Abydos ("Full Circle"). He references a book he takes from a shelf then appears to discover something.]

JONAS I got it.

[Jonas runs down an SGC corridor, reminiscent of Daniel running through the corridors in "Small Victories." We see Teal'c up ahead.]

JONAS I got it. Teal'c! Teal'c! I got it.

[Jonas pats Teal'c on the shoulder with the book then continues his run, leaving Teal'c behind.]

JONAS I got it. I got it.

[Jonas bumps into Siler on his way to the elevator.]

JONAS Oh, sorry, uh, Tyler&mdash;Siler&mdash;Master Sergeant Siler. Siler.

[NOTE: This is one long tracking shot that takes us through the SGC corridors.]

INT&mdash;SGC ELEVATOR

[Jonas enters elevator. NOTE: Martin Wood (Director) makes a cameo appearance here as the elevator occupant.]

JONAS Twenty-eight, please.

[Jonas walks up to Martin Wood's character. He puts his hands on his shoulders and pushes/shakes him excitedly.]

JONAS It's not the lost city. See, there's a subtle difference in meaning when you use Asgard translations of early Ancient. Remember that.

[The elevator doors open and Jonas departs.]

JONAS Excuse me. Watch it, watch it.

INT&mdash;CONTROL ROOM

[Jonas enters the control room. Sergeant Davis is present.]

JONAS Hey, where's Major Carter?

DAVIS Uh, she&mdash;she's in, uh, Hammond's office.

[Jonas heads upstairs to Hammond's office. We can hear Carter.]

INT&mdash;HAMMOND'S OFFICE

CARTER According to intelligence provided by the Tok'ra, Anubis is quickly decimating the forces of the remaining system lords.

[Jonas pauses in the doorway to catch his breath.]

JONAS I got it.

CARTER Hopefully, it's not contagious.

JONAS Ha, ha. The lost city.

[Hammond waits expectantly for more.]

JONAS On the tablet.

CARTER You found it?

JONAS Yeah, only it's not the lost city. That never made sense to me anyway. I mean, the tablet is written in ancient. How could they lose one of their own cities? And even if they did, why would they call it the lost city? They wouldn't. They would call it by its name, right?

HAMMOND Mr. Quinn&hellip;

JONAS It's not the lost city. It's the city of the lost.

CARTER Do you have a Gate address?

JONAS There's a reference in some partial translations that Doctor Jackson was working on from the library of the four races. It talks about a city of the Ancients called Vis Uban as being a place where the plague began. This was going to be the crown jewel in the entire ancient domain. Only it was still under construction when the plague broke out.

CARTER Two words: Gate address.

JONAS Four years ago, when Colonel O'Neill had the ancient repository of knowledge downloaded into his mind, one of the things that he did was to put a bunch of new Gate addresses into the SGC computer. How many did he put in there?

CARTER Well, we've been sending probes and cataloguing them as fast as we can.

HAMMOND Any possibly relevant planet goes on the mission list.

JONAS Yeah, well how many have actually had probes sent to them?

CARTER Less than a quarter.

JONAS And do you think that he came up with these, ah, Gate addresses randomly? Or could there be some sort of order?

CARTER Yeah, I suppose&hellip;

JONAS If Vis Uban wasn't finished being built at the time the entire Ancient civilization fell&hellip;

CARTER You're saying the Ancient city we're looking for is the last one on the list.

JONAS Well, we've been going in order from first to last, right?

HAMMOND (to Carter) Send a probe.

CARTER Yes, sir.

[Carter leaves. Jonas nods at Hammond.]

EXT&mdash;ALIEN PLANET

[We see SG-1 and other SGC personnel, possibly another SG unit, walking away from the Stargate. The area looks to be fairly barren.]

O'NEILL We're not talking about a common cold here, Carter. It was the plague.

CARTER Sir, we don't wear a hazmat every time we step through the Gate. There's always a chance we could be exposing ourselves to something dangerous.

O'NEILL Well, the place is called the City of the Dead.

JONAS The City of the Lost, actually, sir.

O'NEILL Not for lack of a sense of direction.

EXT&mdash;NOMAD VILLAGE

[SG-1 makes their way through a small gathering of natives. They are wearing the same type of clothing as the nomads who found Daniel.]

O'NEILL Well, these folks don't look lost&mdash;nor dead.

JONAS I don't think that these are the Ancients. I mean, anything's possible, but, ah, they look like some sort of, ah, nomadic tribe that's just taken up residence.

KHORDIB (the same good-looking young man who found Daniel in the opening teaser) Greetings.

JONAS Greetings. We're&hellip;travellers from a planet called Earth.

KHORDIB You came through the chappa'ai?

JONAS The Stargate. Chappa'ai.

KHORDIB (points at Teal'c) He is Jaffa.

O'NEILL No, but he plays one on TV.

JONAS This is Teal'c. He's no longer allied with the Goa'uld. He's a friend, as are we.

KHORDIB We too are travellers. This place is not our original home, but&hellip;we have been here for some time now. If you wish to lay claim&hellip;

JONAS No. No, no, nothing like that. We just want the opportunity to learn more about your people and, uh, take a really good look around these ruins.

EXT&mdash;NEAR STARGATE

[SG unit sets up camp.]

FEMALE We need to sweep the area, sir.

MALE Maintain a secure perimeter, fifty meters radius from the Gate.

FEMALE Yes, sir.

MALE #2 Sir.

[Daniel approaches from a wooded area and the SG members turn towards him and keep their weapons trained on him. They appear to recognise him and partially lower their weapons.]

EXT&mdash;NOMAD VILLAGE

KHORDIB (to Shamda) They are travellers like us. They say that they are friends.

SHAMDA No one can be a friend if you know not whether to trust them.

O'NEILL Don't judge a book by its cover.

SHAMDA Enemies promises were made to be broken.

O'NEILL And yet, honesty is the best policy.

SHAMDA He that has too many friends has none.

O'NEILL Ah, but birds of a feather&hellip;

SHAMDA I'm unfamiliar with that story. What lesson does it teach?

O'NEILL It has to do with flocking&hellip;and togetherness&hellip;and&hellip;to be honest, I'm not that familiar with the particulars myself. The point is, we're not your enemy. Give us a chance to prove it.

[Reynolds enters from behind.]

REYNOLDS Colonel.

[O'Neill turns to see approaching SG unit]

REYNOLDS We found something you might want to see.

[The rest of the SG unit accompanies Daniel down the stairs. O'Neill, Carter and Teal'c walk towards Daniel.]

O'NEILL (voice breaking) Daniel?

KHORDIB Arrom.

O'NEILL Arrom?

KHORDIB It's what we call him.

SHAMDA It means naked one.

KHORDIB That's how we found him in the forest, two moons ago.

REYNOLDS Seems he doesn't remember who he is.

CARTER Daniel?

[Carter approaches Daniel, smiles and reaches out to touch his shoulder.]

CARTER It's okay. It's me, Sa-

[Daniel puts his hand up to stop her from touching him. Carter looks devastated.]

TEAL'C Do you not recognize us, Daniel Jackson?

DANIEL I'm sorry.

[Daniel walks away. The team turn to watch him go.]

O'NEILL (Shouts after retreating Daniel) Not even me?

INT&mdash;NOMAD TENT

[Daniel is sitting in a tent. O'Neill enters.]

DANIEL Please leave me alone.

[O'Neill ignores Daniel's request and sits opposite him.]

O'NEILL I'm Jack O'Neill. And, barring some freakish similarity, you are Dr. Daniel Jackson.

DANIEL This tent is all I know. These people, they're all I know. Before I woke up in the forest, I don't remember anything. I've tried. I've tried to remember who I was before. Sometimes I think it's right there, floating in front of me, and all I have to do is reach out and grab it. I try&mdash;and it's gone.

O'NEILL You were a member of my team, SG-1. You're a friend of mine. Last year, you died.

DANIEL I'm dead?

O'NEILL Obviously not. You just sort of died. Actually, you&hellip;ascended to a higher plane of existence. Last time I saw you, you were helping us fight Anubis.

DANIEL Anubis?

O'NEILL Yeah. Kind of an over-the-top, clich&eacute; bad guy. Black cloak, oily skin, kind of spooky. Anyway, obviously since then, you've retaken human form, somehow. I&mdash;

[O'Neill pauses as his words register and he shakes his head.]

O'NEILL Actually, I can how this might sound a bit unusual&hellip;

DANIEL A bit? Why am I here?

O'NEILL Hey, why are any of us here? (grimaces) Honestly, I don't know, but you've got to trust me. You are Daniel Jackson. Think of it this way: out of all the planets in the galaxy, why this one if not for us to find you? (points at Daniel)

DANIEL (Sceptically) So you're saying a higher power had a hand in putting me here?

O'NEILL I don't know. That was generally your department.

EXT&mdash;VILLAGE

[Carter is asking questions or being given information.]

CARTER Thanks very much.

KHORDIB You're welcome.

[Carter walks over to O'Neill who is exiting the tent.]

CARTER Jonas and Teal'c are helping SG three and five begin the preliminary sweep.

O'NEILL Remember when I said it was like talking to a wall?

CARTER Sir, we know someone who's ascended can chose to retake human form.

O'NEILL You think he also chose to forget everything?

CARTER Maybe the part about his memory isn't voluntary. Who knows? Maybe the whole thing is punishment for trying to help us. He did say he was breaking some pretty big rules.

O'NEILL So&hellip;what?

CARTER It's going to take some time to search the entire extent of the ruins. There could be weapons or a power source hidden just about anywhere. In the mean time, we try to help Daniel remember&mdash;if that's even possible.

O'NEILL Tag. You're it.

INT&mdash;DANIEL'S TENT

[Carter pauses before entering.]

CARTER Can I come in?

[Daniel blows out a candle he has just lit, leaving the interior of the tent fairly dim.]

DANIEL Sure.

CARTER (sitting down) So&hellip;

DANIEL What did you say your name was again?

CARTER Samantha Carter. You used to call me Sam.

DANIEL Yeah, well, like I already told Jim&mdash;

CARTER Uh, Jack.

DANIEL Jack? Yeah, I told him&hellip;

CARTER I guess what I don't understand is why you aren't dying to know all about who you are.

DANIEL I am. And I'm not.

CARTER See, it's the not part&hellip;

DANIEL What if I don't like who I was? What if I don't want to be that person? What if I don't have it in me to make up for something I've done wrong?

CARTER I have to admit, that never occurred to me. Look, we all thought we'd lost you at one point. (intense voice) It was one of the hardest things I have ever been through. You were&mdash;you are&mdash;brilliant. One of the most caring, passionate&hellip; You're the type of person who would give his own life for someone he doesn't even know.

DANIEL Well, that doesn't sound so bad.

CARTER If you had one fault, it was that you wanted to save people so badly, y&mdash;you wanted to help people so much, that it tore you apart when you couldn't make a difference.

DANIEL That actually sounds kind of hard to live up to.

CARTER All I know is that if I were you, I would definitely want to get to know me&mdash;you.

DANIEL I get it.

CARTER Come back with us. Let us show you who you are instead of just telling you.

DANIEL I'll think about it.

CARTER OK.

[Carter starts to rise, about to leave.]

DANIEL Samantha Carter?

[Carter stops at the tent entrance and turns back to Daniel.]

CARTER Yeah?

DANIEL Was there ever anything between us?

CARTER (Surprised) Us, uh&hellip; No, no, not in that way. We&mdash;we were really, really good friends.

DANIEL OK. (Small smile and nod of the head)

EXT&mdash;OUTSIDE TENT

[Carter rejoins O'Neill who is walking in with Shamda.]

O'NEILL Carter. Shamda here was just telling me a story about&hellip;a dog and some dancing monkeys.

SHAMDA The moral of which is: appearances can be deceptive.

O'NEILL (puts hand on Shamda's shoulder in a friendly fashion) I got that. Very good story. Wonderful! Full of nuances. I like that.

[Teal'c and Jonas approach.]

JONAS We, uh, we sent up a UAV.

TEAL'C The ruins are quite extensive.

JONAS Yeah, it's going to take us weeks to scour this place properly.

TEAL'C What of Daniel Jackson?

DANIEL (exits tent) He's going home.

[Camera zooms in on a determined Daniel Jackson.]

INT&mdash;SGC GATE ROOM

[Hammond watches as the team returns with Daniel. Daniel looks over his shoulder at the wormhole as he exits and as they approach Hammond, O'Neill uses both hands to indicate Daniel to him.]

HAMMOND Welcome back, Dr. Jackson.

DANIEL Thank you. Thank you very much.

[Daniel looks around curiously.]

HAMMOND You have no memory of who I am?

DANIEL None whatsoever.

O'NEILL Neither do I, sir.

[Hammond gives O'Neill a reproving look.]

[O'Neill looks apologetic then beckons Daniel.]

O'NEILL Uh, that way.

[O'Neill leads Daniel out of the Gate room. The rest of the team follow.]

O'NEILL Did I mention you owe me fifty bucks?

INT&mdash;SGC INFIRMARY

[Fraiser is concluding an examination of Daniel. O'Neill enters.]

FRAISER Well, I'm happy to say, sir, that he's in perfect health, except for one small exception.

[Fraiser hands Daniel a pair of glasses which he puts them on with instinctive ease.]

DANIEL Wow, that's different.

O'NEILL (adopts a hopeful, eager smiling expression) You recognize me now?

DANIEL (examines Jack thoughtfully) Has your hair always been that way?

O'NEILL What way?

DANIEL Never mind.

INT&mdash;SGC GUEST ROOM

[Camera pans around the room showing a number of archeological items obviously belonging to Daniel.]

[O'Neill opens the door. Daniel enters.]

O'NEILL Not exactly home but we unpacked some of your stuff.

DANIEL (examining an item) You kept all this even though you thought I was dead?

O'NEILL To be honest, we tossed out a ton of junk&hellip; (O'Neill sees Daniel's reaction and adds) A lot of which seemed to be very valuable.

[Daniel puts down item. He sees a photo of a woman on the nightstand next to the bed. It's Sha're. He picks it up.]

O'NEILL (nods over at the items near the bed) I&hellip;kept a few of your personal things alive, there.

DANIEL (staring at photo) I know her.

O'NEILL (hopeful) Really?

DANIEL I mean, I must, right?

O'NEILL Yeah&hellip;

DANIEL Who is she? What's her name?

O'NEILL (Gives Daniel a steady look) You tell me.

[O'Neill leaves Daniel to examine the possessions on his own, closing the door behind him. We see SFs outside in the corridor.]

INT&mdash;SGC DANIEL'S ROOM

[It's dark. Daniel is asleep on top of the bed. He gasps, wakes up and looks at the photo of Sha're.]

INT&mdash;SGC Teal'c'S QUARTERS

[Teal'c is surrounded by candles, trying to kel-no-reem. There is a knock at the door and Daniel stands at the doorway.]

DANIEL Oh, sorry. Am I interrupting?

TEAL'C You are not. I am unable to kel-no-reem as I once did since I began using tretonin.

DANIEL Well that sounds complicated.

TEAL'C Indeed. Enter.

[Daniel walks in and sits in a chair while Teal'c rises and sits on his bed.]

[Daniel holds up the photo of Sha're and shows it to Teal'c.]

DANIEL Her name is Sha're.

TEAL'C Yes.

DANIEL No one told me that. (very pleased with himself) I remembered that by myself. I dreamed about her and when I woke up, I knew her name.

TEAL'C That is good news, Daniel Jackson.

DANIEL Yeah, it's the first time I've believed I might have a chance. You know? If I can remember a name, then there's a chance it's all in there somewhere, right? (excited about the prospect of his memory returning)

TEAL'C (very gently) Indeed.

DANIEL So-so where is she?

[Teal'c looks grief-stricken.]

DANIEL She's dead.

[Teal'c nods once in confirmation.]

DANIEL And I loved her very much.

[Teal'c is silent.]

[Daniel places the photo faced-down on a nearby table. He takes a deep breath then clasps his hands in front of him, collecting himself. His voice is less soft, more businesslike, more determined.]

DANIEL This being, Oma Desala, is supposedly very powerful, right?

TEAL'C That is correct.

DANIEL Why would she do this? I mean, if she wanted me to forget&hellip;

TEAL'C You often spoke of the rules to which you were subjugated as one of the Ascended. Perhaps she was required to erase your memories by laws of the Others, but as your friend and mentor, she wished you one day to regain it.

DANIEL You're saying she cheated? You think she found a way around the rules?

TEAL'C You do not agree?

DANIEL Tell me about this Anubis. Why did I break the rules to fight him?

TEAL'C Do you not believe it wise to remember on your own accord?

DANIEL No. I need to know why this is happening to me.

[Teal'c nods.]

INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM

[Hammond and SG-1 are in the Briefing Room. Daniel is absent. Jonas is standing at the head of the table, a screen behind him. He is presenting information to the others.]

JONAS At this point we believe that we've mapped the full extent of the ruins.

O'NEILL No fancy guns or anything cool?

JONAS Well, we've only completed a preliminary investigation&hellip;

[Daniel and an SF walk downstairs into Briefing Room.]

DANIEL I'm sorry I'm late I, uh&hellip; (he glances at his watch) &hellip;forgot what time the meeting was.

[Daniel smiles at the others but it fades when the others regard him in silence.]

DANIEL It's a little joke there. It's the memory thing.

HAMMOND Doctor Jackson, this briefing is classified.

DANIEL Yeah, Jonas mentioned that but, uh, you all said that I used to be a part of this, so&hellip; Look, I can't really give you a good reason, I just feel like I should be here.

[O'Neill looks at Hammond then back at Daniel.]

HAMMOND Good enough.

[Daniel walks over and takes a seat next to Carter at the table, opposite O'Neill.]

DANIEL Besides, who am I going to tell? I mean, I don't, uh, I don't remember anybody, right?

O'NEILL (smiles faintly) Good one.

DANIEL (mumbles to the table whilst smiling) Thanks, Jim.

[O'Neill looks taken aback and a little upset. He looks at Carter for her reaction and she tries to hide a grin.]

JONAS Oh, so, uh&hellip;There are extensive writings. All of them are in the oldest known Ancient dialects. All of them have yet to be translated but, uh, so far, we haven't found any signs of any advanced weapons or power sources. I mean, the original name of the city is Vis Uban which does translate as place of great power but there's no indication that we're going to find any means of defeating Anubis there.

DANIEL You're not. (O'Neill looks at Daniel) It's not the lost city.

O'NEILL How do you know?

DANIEL Uh, because Jonas translated lacun to mean 'of the lost'.

JONAS Yeah, but that's how we found-

DANIEL (interjects) The wrong place.

JONAS The translations in your notes-

DANIEL Also wrong&mdash;if these are the ones you mean. I was&hellip;way off.

JONAS Well, how do you know that?

DANIEL I don't know. I&mdash;I just&mdash;I know what the tablet says.

O'NEILL How?

DANIEL I don't know. I just looked at it and understood it.

CARTER Wait a minute. Are you saying the Ancients actually lost one of their own cities?

DANIEL No, no, they didn't lose it. They&mdash;they made it lost. To other people that might try to find it. I'm guessing that they camouflaged it and removed all reference to it from the written history.

O'NEILL So. The lost city is&hellip;still lost?

DANIEL I'm pretty sure.

O'NEILL (accusing) You know, you told me to give Anubis that eye.

CARTER According to reports from our allies, Anubis is quickly conquering the other system lords.

TEAL'C He will dominate the galaxy in a very short time.

O'NEILL I only did it because you said we could whup ass with what we find in this lost city.

DANIEL Wh-if I said that, then I-I hope it's true, but&hellip;but Look, all I know is that the place you're searching right now is not it.

O'NEILL Then where is it ?

DANIEL Did I just say 'all I know'?

O'NEILL (glares at Daniel) Everyone turn away. I want no witnesses.

INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDOR

[Jonas arrives at Daniel's quarters and knocks on the door.]

DANIEL (off screen) Yeah.

INT&mdash;SGC DANIEL'S QUARTERS

DANIEL Hey.

JONAS Sorry to bother you.

DANIEL No. No you're not. I was just, uh&hellip;uh, reading about us, actually.

JONAS You said that Anubis was part-Ascended. That the Ancients tried to send him back to our level of existence, but failed, and now he's trapped somewhere in between.

DANIEL Yeah, so I've heard.

JONAS Anubis wouldn't know know everything there is to know about the Ancients, then, right? Otherwise, he would have already found the lost city.

DANIEL Look, I know I was able to read that tablet&hellip;but

JONAS I-I'm just thinking out loud here. If Anubis were to accidentally find the tablet, chances are that he's not going to make the same mistake I did.

DANIEL I don't know.

JONAS But if we were to make a replica of the tablet&mdash;you know, change what it says&hellip;

DANIEL Why?

INT&mdash;SGC GATE ROOM

[Teal'c is standing at the base of the ramp wearing Jaffa armour, minus helmet. He heads through the active Gate, alone.]

INT&mdash;SGC OFFICE/LAB

[Daniel is writing on the board while Jonas checks through books.]

INT&mdash;SGC Carter'S LAB

[Carter and some members of the Tok'ra are looking at a hologram plan of Anubis' ship.]

EXT&mdash;ALIEN PLANET WHERE Daniel WAS FOUND

[One of the nomads is scraping dirt away from what looks like part of a Goa'uld ring transporter.]

INT&mdash;YU'S SHIP

[Teal'c approaches and kneels in deference to Yu.]

INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM

[Carter is making a presentation to the room. Occupants consist of O'Neill, Daniel, Hammond, Jonas, members of the Tok'ra and unknown people, some in uniform.]

CARTER As you all know, we've had little success using Naquadria to power the F-302's hyperspace generator for any length of time. However, if our calculations are correct, we believe that a short, controlled burst would send the 302 into subspace just long enough to bypass the mother ship's shields.

O'NEILL And if your calculations are incorrect?

CARTER The 302 would bypass the mother ship all together, or worse, re-emerge inside it. But let's not go there right now.

O'NEILL Of course. Let's not dwell.

CARTER Now, uh, uh, according to intelligence provided by the Tok'ra, the power core of Anubis' new weapon must be cooled by a ventilation shaft on the exterior of the ship. If that can be targeted and destroyed just as the weapon is powering up, the crystals will over heat and be destroyed.

O'NEILL Where is the shaft, exactly?

CARTER (looking irritated) As Colonel O'Neill is well aware, we don't know exactly where the shaft is.

TOK'RA FEMALE Our operative in Anubis' ranks has been unable to get aboard the new ship and has only been able to glean a very limited working knowledge of it. Anubis protects his computer systems with elaborate ciphers coded in the oldest known Ancient dialect. We have been unable to translate them.

CARTER Which is where Jonas Quinn and Daniel Jackson come in. They'll sneak onto Anubis' ship and access the computer.

TOK'RA FEMALE We have devised an injectable radioactive isotope that will allow them to move freely on Anubis' ship, undetected by its sensors, for eight hours.

CARTER They'll decipher the codes and relay the location of the target to Colonel O'Neill and myself, who will be flying the F-302.

O'NEILL No problem, right?

JONAS Hey, sounds easy to me.

[Daniel gives a thumbs-up.]

O'NEILL Good. Anubis' ship is destroyed and we all live to save another day.

CARTER (gives a thin smile) Again, as the Colonel is well aware, we have reason to believe that eliminating the crystal power core of the ship's main weapon won't destroy the entire ship. It's defences and auxiliary weapons will remain intact.

O'NEILL Why don't we dwell on that for just a minute?

CARTER Our goal is to take out Anubis' new super weapon. It's what gives him a clear advantage over the rest of the Goa'uld mother ships. Now, we've received word from Teal'c that Yu has pledged to bring the full force of the remaining system lords' fleet down on Anubis once we've succeeded.

O'NEILL Okay. (speaking to the room) Everyone who thinks this is absolutely an insane idea, raise your hand. Come on, be honest.

[Everyone raises their hand, including Carter.]

HAMMOND Keep your hands up, people, because the next question is who is going to make this happen?

[O'Neill shrugs and keeps his hand up along with everyone else.]

JONAS Well it's going to take us at least a week to relocate the inhabitants of the ruins&hellip;

CARTER Which will give us more than enough time to build a makeshift runway and get the 302 through the Gate and reassembled.

JONAS Once everything is established the Tok'ra will plant our fake tablet and, with any luck, we'll lure Anubis to the planet.

HAMMOND Let's move.

[Carter turns the lights back on as people leave the room, leaving O'Neill, Daniel, Carter and Jonas.]

O'NEILL Look, I realize I wasn't the most positive voice in the room&hellip;

CARTER We all know it's an extreme long-shot, sir.

O'NEILL Well, my big problem with it is that all this depends on us trusting a Goa'uld to back us up.

CARTER This is our only chance to take Anubis completely out of the picture and Yu has come through for us in the past.

O'NEILL All I'm saying&mdash;just for the record&mdash;this is the wackiest plan we've ever come up with.

CARTER Wackier than strapping an active Stargate to the bottom of the X-302?

O'NEILL (walks away) Oh, yeah.

CARTER Wackier than&hellip;than blowing up a sun?

O'NEILL (walking through the door to leave the room) Yep!

CARTER (to Daniel and Jonas) He's probably right.

INT&mdash;YU'S SHIP

[Yu's First Prime approaches as Yu is preparing to enter his sarcophagus.]

FIRST PRIME My Lord, the fleet is ready.

YU I say when the fleet is ready.

FIRST PRIME Of course, my Lord. It is time we move them in to position to prepare for the ambush of Anubis. As you agreed, my Lord.

YU Speak to me as if I am a fool again and you will not take another breath.

FIRST PRIME Yes, my Lord.

[Yu lowers himself into the sarcophagus.]

YU Move the fleet into position.

[The sarcophagus closes on Yu.]

INT&mdash;SGC LOCKER ROOM

[O'Neill and Daniel are getting ready for the mission. O'Neill's locker is open and Daniel notices a photo taped to the door of O'Neill's locker.]

DANIEL That's your son.

O'NEILL Yeah.

DANIEL Charlie, right. He's why I know you. You took that first mission to Abydos because you thought it'd be&hellip;suicide.

O'NEILL (matter-of-fact) Things change.

DANIEL Yeah, sorry.

O'NEILL You sure you're ready for this?

DANIEL Yeah, well, despite what you say&hellip;I don't think you'd be doing this if it wasn't worth doing.

O'NEILL (ironic smile) Well, you obviously don't remember everything. You never used to follow my lead.

DANIEL (surprised) I didn't?

[O'Neill smiles, gets up and begins to walk out.]

DANIEL Hey, um, I may not remember everything, but&hellip;I remember enough.

O'NEILL (smiles) Good.

EXT&mdash;ALIEN PLANET

[SGC base camp set up with camouflaged tent and equipment.]

[Carter, dressed in a flight suit, walks over to greet ] Hammond, Sgt Davis and others who are just arriving.]

CARTER (salutes) Sir, welcome to base camp.

HAMMOND (returns salute) Thank you, Major.

CARTER I have to admit, sir, it's a little strange to see you offworld.

HAMMOND Well, this is not your usual, run of the mill, alien planet operation, is it, Major?

CARTER No, sir.

HAMMOND What's our status?

CARTER We're ready to go, sir. HAMMOND You'd better get yourself out to the F-302, then.

CARTER (salutes) Yes, sir.

[Hammond returns the salutes and Carter leaves.]

EXT&mdash;SPACE

[We see a fleet of six mother ships.]

INT&mdash;YU's SHIP

[Teal'c is being briefed by Yu's First Prime.]

FIRST PRIME We have just received word that Abubis' ship will be arriving in the system momentarily.

[Teal'c bows in acknowledgement.]

EXT&mdash;ALIEN PLANET

[The F-302 is waiting to launch from a newly prepared makeshift runway. Inside the cockpit is O'Neill with Carter in the second seat behind.]

SGT DAVIS (over speaker) Airstrike, this is command base. You are a go for take off.

O'NEILL Yeah, I thought we were going with Red Leader on this one.

CARTER All systems go, sir.

O'NEILL Uh, command? There is one more thing&hellip;

HAMMOND (from base camp) Colonel. Major. Godspeed.

O'NEILL All right, that's better. (drops goggles down over his eyes)

CARTER Thank you, sir.

[F-302 takes off.]

EXT&mdash;SPACE

[A mothership emerges from hyperspace near the planet. It's Anubis. The folding doors that slide back to reveal the eye-enhanced weapon we saw used in "Full Circle" open.]

EXT&mdash;NOMAD VILLAGE

[Five Jaffa transport down to the village via rings. The people are gone, their relocation apparently successful. Two guards guard the rings while the other three move off]

[Daniel is hiding behind a column, holding a zat gun. Both guards are taken out with zat blasts. Major Reynolds appears, having apparently taken out the guards. Daniel and Jonas emerge from cover. Reynolds and his team prepare to stand guard and give cover on the surface while Jonas takes the transporter ring control off a downed Jaffa.]

[Jonas joins Daniel on the transporter rings platform.]

JONAS (to SG team) Thanks, guys.

REYNOLDS Good luck.

[Daniel and Jonas ring up to the ship.]

EXT&mdash;SPACE

[The F-302 is fast approaching Anubis' ship.]

O'NEILL Holy crap! Look at that thing. It's huge!

CARTER I think they know we're coming, sir. Tally four gliders, nose, 400 kilometers.

INT&mdash;ANUBIS' SHIP

[Jaffa are marching along a corridor while Daniel and Jonas hide. The Jaffa pass and they break cover, down the corridor from where the Jaffa have just left. They come to a door and Daniel lies down on the floor ready to provide cover from any Jaffa inside the room as Jonas deals with the door controls. As Jonas opens the door Daniel zats the two Jaffa near the control panel/console. Jonas closes the door while Daniel works on the console, examining files on the holographic screen.]

EXT&mdash;ANUBIS' SHIP

[The F-302 is nearing its target.]

O'NEILL Extending. Max burn. CARTER You're heading right for them, sir.

O'NEILL I wanna see what this thing's made of.

CARTER I could tell you exactly, sir.

O'NEILL Another time, maybe. Please?

[O'Neill spots four death-gliders approaching them. He waits for the right moment then fires.]

O'NEILL Fox four, two. Pitching back left, one, four, three, five.

CARTER (via radio) Daniel, Jonas, we are under attack. We need that intel.

DANIEL (via radio) We're close.

CARTER We can't hold these guys off for long.

INT&mdash;ANUBIS' SHIP

[There is the sound of armoured Jaffa trying to enter the room Daniel and Jonas are in.]

JONAS Great&hellip;we got company.

[Jonas moves to the door panel.]

EXT&mdash;SPACE

[YU's fleet.]

FIRST PRIME My Lord.

YU (via communication screen) Take the fleet to Chodawwa.

FIRST PRIME My Lord, that is across the galaxy. We are in position to ambush Anubis according to the-

YU Do not question me! I am your God! Do as I say!

[Yu ends the communication.]

TEAL'C You cannot.

FIRST PRIME I have no choice.

FIRST PRIME (to a nearby Jaffa) Take him to a holding cell.

TEAL'C If you abandon this opportunity to eliminate Anubis, you are dooming yourself and your master as well. (as he is being dragged away)

FIRST PRIME I must do as my God commands.

INT&mdash;ANUBIS' SHIP/THRONE ROOM

[Anubis' First Prime approaches his master.]

HERAK My Lord. (bows) Our ground troops have confirmed that there is a human base on the planet.

ANUBIS The search of the city?

HERAK No energy signatures.

INT&mdash;CONSOLE ROOM

[Jonas has doctored the door controls to prevent the Jaffa outside from entering.]

JONAS All right. That'll hold them off for a while. A little while.

DANIEL That's it. I'm in.

(Information appears on the holographic screen) Uh&hellip; This may take more than a little while.

JONAS Well, can't you do some kind of a&hellip;keyword search?

DANIEL Yeah? For what? Achilles?

JONAS Well, that's good. I'm glad to see that your-your memory's finally coming back. Not to mention your razor-sharp wit, but why don't we try something like, uh&hellip;power-core venting?

[Daniel appears to try something, possibly Jonas' suggestion.]

DANIEL That's it. That's it.

DANIEL (via radio) Jack, Sam, we got it. Transmitting data.

EXT&mdash;SPACE

[The F-302 is under fire.]

INT&mdash;F-302

O'NEILL We gotta go, Carter.

CARTER Sir, I've got the target data but we need Anubis to power the weapon.

EXT&mdash;ALIEN PLANET/SG BASE CAMP

HAMMOND Airborne, we have not heard from Teal'c. The Goa'uld fleet is long overdue.

O'NEILL (over radio) Gee&hellip; I had a problem with this plan.

INT&mdash;ANUBIS' SHIP/THRONE ROOM

HERAK My Lord, the attack vessel continues to elude our gliders.

ANUBIS Send in another squadron.

HERAK I do not believe what you are searching for is here.

ANUBIS I agree.

HERAK Shall I target their base, my Lord?

ANUBIS No. Recall the ground troops.

HERAK Yes, my Lord.

INT&mdash;CONSOLE ROOM

[Daniel and Jonas are still trapped. The Jaffa are still trying to get into the room.]

JONAS I don't think that we're going to get back to the ring room that way.

DANIEL (sees something on the screen) What's that?

JONAS They're targeting the planet. (via radio) Base camp, this is Jonas, come in.

DAVIS Go ahead.

JONAS (over radio) Your position's been compromised. The Stargate is being targeted. Repeat, the Stargate is being targeted. The naquadah will amplify the blast.

EXT&mdash;BASE CAMP

HAMMOND Roger that. Evacuate all personnel.

EXT&mdash;SPACE/ANUBIS' SHIP EXTERIOR

INT&mdash;F-302 COCKPIT

O'NEILL We're going in NOW, right?

CARTER We need the Goa'uld mother ships here to finish the job. (sees four signals on instrument panel/console) Sir! We've got four more gliders headed this way.

O'NEILL Are we going in now?

CARTER Activating hyper-drive.

[Hyperdrive is activated and F-302 exits past defences and very close to Anubis' ship.]

O'NEILL Extending, straight up.

EXT&mdash;SURFACE OF ANUBIS' SHIP

O'NEILL Damn. That was close.

CARTER Transferring target data to your terminal, sir.

INT&mdash;ANUBIS' SHIP/THRONE ROOM

HERAK My Lord, the human attack vessel has breached our shields.

ANUBIS Shoot it down

INT&mdash;ANUBIS' SHIP&mdash;CONSOLE ROOM

DANIEL Let's get out of here.

JONAS Yeah.

[The door is being forced open as Daniel and Jonas look for a way out.]

DANIEL (indicates a ventilation) Here.

[Jonas gives Daniel a boost up so he can get to the ventilation shaft.]

JONAS Go, come on.

[Daniel reaches the opening as the Jaffa burst into the room. The Jaffa hit Jonas but Daniel is clear&mdash;for the moment.]

EXT&mdash;F-302 AND EXT ANUBIS' SHIP

[O'Neill is evading Anubis' defence cannons.]

O'NEILL Target is locked. Fox four, two.

[O'Neill fires missiles at the target. There is an explosion.]

CARTER Nice shot, sir.

O'NEILL Well, thank you, ma'am.

INT&mdash;ANUBIS' SHIP/THRONE ROOM

HERAK We've been hit. The core is overloading. We must power down the weapon.

INT&mdash;POWER-CORE SHAFT

[Camera zooms down a twisting long shaft and presumably the power-core. It explodes.]

INT&mdash;VENTILATION SHAFT

[We see Daniel shaken about by the explosion.]

INT&mdash;ANUBIS' SHIP/THRONE ROOM

[Hreak looks back at his master. Anubis roars with rage.]

EXT&mdash;ANUBIS' SHIP

[Effects of the explosion can be seen streaking through Anubis' ship. The F-302 flies clear of the ship.]

INT&mdash;F-302

[Close up of O'Neill's face.]

INT&mdash;VENTILATION SHAFT

CARTER (via radio) Daniel, come in. Do you read?

DANIEL (into radio) Yeah, I'm still on the ship. Hey congratulations, I think you guys hit the mark.

INT&mdash;F-302

O'NEILL (sounds pleased with himself and happy) Thanks, it was fun.

CARTER We'll wait until Anubis' ship clears out and rendezvous with you at the Stargate as planned.

INT&mdash;VENTILATION SHAFT

DANIEL Yeah, as far as that goes, we may have a little problem.

INT&mdash;ANOTHER ROOM ON ANUBIS' SHIP

[Jonas is on his back, strapped to a table by a yoke that goes across his neck and wrists. Anubis turns off the force-field sealing the cell shut and enters.]

ANUBIS You will suffer greatly.

JONAS Yeah, I figured as much. Although, I am consoled by the fact that we succeeded in destroying the power source for your new weapon.

ANUBIS You are in no position to gloat.

JONAS We just wiped out your single advantage you had over the Goa'uld. I would say that that's about as good a reason as any.

ANUBIS Enough!

JONAS I won't tell you anything.

ANUBIS Oh. Yes you will.

[Anubis pulls out a round device with spikes all over it and holds it so that Jonas can see. It's the memory probe previously used on Thor.]

[To be continued&hellip;]
