TEASER

VOICEOVER Previously on Stargate SG-1&hellip;

[Scenes from "Summit"&mdash;Ren Au explaining that they need someone to pose as a human slave at the upcoming System Lord summit. Someone who speaks fluent Goa'uld. Ren Au explains to Daniel that he will need to release a poison into the air which will kill all the Goa'uld symbiotes. Jacob explaining to Daniel that he should prick Yu with a ring that contains a chemical which will persuade Yu that Daniel is his servant, Jarren. Ren Au explaining to Carter that Martouf lives on in Lantash. The Goa'uld attack on Ravanna. Osiris arriving at the Summit. Lantash entering Elliot. Daniel explaining to Jacob that Sarah/Osiris is at the summit, and that he could have been recognised. Osiris finds Daniel, and the door on them closes.]

VOICEOVER And now the conclusion.

INT&mdash;Yu's quarters

[Daniel and Osiris are alone. Osiris pull out a thin dagger and advances on Daniel.]

OSIRIS What are you doing here?

DANIEL (looking at the dagger and slowly backing away) Me? Right now? Nothing, why? You have something in mind?

OSIRIS (he places the dagger at Daniel's throat) Insolence. Tell me what subversions you are a part of or I will bleed you dry.

[Daniel still has the ring on. He grabs her hand releasing the chemical. Osiris backs away, looking confused.]

DANIEL May I help you?

[Osiris looks around.]

OSIRIS (raising the dagger again) Who are you?

DANIEL I am Lord Yu's servant. This is my master's quarters.

[Osiris looks around, still a little dazed.]

DANIEL You must have the wrong room. I've gotten lost a few times myself; these corridors all seem to look the same.

[Osiris turns to walk away.]

DANIEL If you don't mind my asking, isn't it forbidden to bring weapons to the summit?

OSIRIS If you speak of it again, I promise, they will be your last words.

[Daniel bows. She walks off. Daniel talks into the communicator.]

DANIEL Jacob! You still there?

JACOB (on the cargo ship) Yeah. What happened?

DANIEL Ahh, Osiris and I kind of got into a&hellip;but the chemical worked.

JACOB Why didn't you just release the poison? (long pause) Daniel?

DANIEL Because I would have killed Sarah. There's got to be a way we can save her, right? You've taken symbiotes out of the host without killing them before.

JACOB We'd have to get her out of there first.

DANIEL So?

JACOB Daniel. There's a bigger picture here. You have to release the poison. Do it now. You know what's at stake Daniel, no single person's life is more important. Complete your mission.

[Daniel weighs Jacob's words.]

OPENING CREDITS

EXT&mdash;RAVANNA

[Gliders fly over a mounting ground invasion force.]

INT&mdash;RAVANNA, TOK'RA TUNNELS

[Carter, O'Neill, Teal'c and Elliot are looking around at the cave in.]

ELLIOT Crystals.

CARTER (supporting Elliot as they stand) What?

ELLIOT The Tok'ra use crystals to form the tunnels.

CARTER Yeah, we know that.

ELLIOT And we can use them to make more.

O'NEILL Where are they?

ELLIOT The lab.

O'NEILL All right, you wait here. Teal'c with me.

[They leave in one direction, while Carter moves Elliot off in another.]

CARTER Sir, see if you can find one of those Tok'ra communicators. We may need it.

INT&mdash;GOA'ULD SUMMIT ROOM

[The System Lords are sat once again in the summit room. They are listening to Osiris. Some seem more convinced of her arguments than others.]

OSIRIS Weakness is befalling the System Lords. If this tenuous alliance crumbles it will leave the Goa'uld vulnerable to threats that exist outside this galaxy. We must put aside our differences and individual struggles for power to strengthen the Goa'uld and ensure our supremacy over those who threaten our domination.

YU You speak of grand principle&mdash;

[Daniel gets out the poison.]

BA'AL But you have no official seat here.

OSIRIS Then I ask you to officially recognise my status here.

BA'AL What do you offer as support for your claim for position as System Lord?

OSIRIS Nothing. I am here to represent the vote of another.

YU Whom do you serve?

OSIRIS Anubis.

[There is outcry.]

OLOKUN What!

BA'AL You lie!

[He stands.]

YU He is dead!

[He rises in his seat.]

OSIRIS (she rises and slowly approaches Yu) That was what you assumed after you attempted to murder him. Was it not enough that he was banished from the System Lords?

YU Never to be allowed to return!

OSIRIS That was long ago and only one System Lord remains from that time. (looking at Yu) He has sent me to ask that you accept him back or&hellip;place yourselves at his mercy.

[Daniel puts the poison away.]

INT&mdash;TOK'RA LAB

[O'Neill and Teal'c enter cautiously.]

O'NEILL Bodies are gone.

[Teal'c explores the ruins and finds a chest. Opening it, he sees a variety of crystals. Jaffa voices can be heard approaching. O'Neill, who is keeping a look out, see Jaffa close to one of the entrances to the lab.]

O'NEILL We got company.

[They take cover and 2 Jaffa enter the lab. They are shot by O'Neill. Jaffa are heard approaching at the sound of gunfire. Teal'c grabs a staff weapon. Teal'c steals one of their staff weapons and they peer round a corner, ready to defend their position.]

JAFFA Tok'ra&hellip;pelnak&hellip;.Kree.

[The Jaffa enter, and O'Neill and Teal'c open fire. They kill three.]

INT&mdash;GOA'ULD SUMMIT

[Daniel walks into Yu's quarters. He gets out the communicator.]

DANIEL Jacob?

JACOB (on cargo ship) Yeah. Are you ready?

DANIEL Ah. Not exactly.

JACOB Dammit Daniel.

DANIEL Look I was going to do it and then Osiris said she was here representing another Goa'uld named Anubis.

SELMAK He is dead.

DANIEL Apparently not. He wants to rejoin the System Lords.

SELMAK Why now? Where has he been for the last thousand years?

DANIEL I don't know but we suspected there was a new Goa'uld out there on the rise, we just didn't know which one. Just turns out he's not so new.

SELMAK If it is really Anubis&mdash;

DANIEL Then killing all the System Lords here would just open the door for him to take over completely. You always said yourself; a bunch of warring System Lords is better than one all powerful one so&hellip;

SELMAK You do not understand how bad Anubis is. He was banished by the System Lords because his crimes were unspeakable. Even to the Goa'uld.

DANIEL Yeah, so. Guess what? Mission's off.

SELMAK Anubis has not waited this long just to return to the System Lords. There must be more going on.

DANIEL So&hellip;

SELMAK You must stay and find out what it is. If you can.

[Daniel nods reluctantly.]

INT&mdash;TOK'RA TUNNELS

[Carter is tending to Elliot/Lantash as they wait for Teal'c and O'Neill to return. There are dead bodies nearby of crushed Tok'ra.]

ELLIOT They should have been back by now.

CARTER I'm sure they're okay, they'll be back soon. How're you doing?

ELLIOT It's very strange.

CARTER I know.

ELLIOT It's like&hellip;I suddenly know everything about someone else's life. Two other people actually. I hear his thoughts every now and then. But he's using all his strength to try and save me.

[There's noise above, crashes. Carter looks up.]

CARTER Sounds like they're coming round for another run.

[One of the crashes is very loud. The chamber shakes and more debris falls.]

ELLIOT What a joke.

CARTER What?

ELLIOT I can't believe I'm actually going to die on my first mission.

CARTER You're not.

ELLIOT Come on, Major. Even if this symbiote can fix what's wrong with me, we're never getting out of here.

CARTER (falsely cheerful) Sure we are. You've read our mission files. We go through the Gate, get into trouble, get out of it, we go home.

ELLIOT Tell that to Major Mansfield.

CARTER Okay, forget the pep talk. You knew what you were signing up for.

ELLIOT Yeah.

CARTER You got this assignment because you were strong, both physically and mentally. Now give the symbiote inside you a chance. He needs you as much as you need him right now. Do not-

[There is a huge crash. More of the ceiling collapses. Carter looks round to find the exit blocked. She looks at Elliot, then at the blocked exit, and sighs.]

EXT&mdash;ZIPACNA'S MOTHERSHIP

INT&mdash;ZIPACNA'S MOTHERSHIP PELTAK

[Zipacna's First Prime walks up to Zipacna and bows.]

FIRST PRIME The base has been infiltrated. Many dead Tok'ra were found as well as three humans of the Tau'ri.

ZIPACNA Allies of the Tok'ra.

FIRST PRIME A few Tok'ra we captured died before we could extract any information. However, moments ago, six Jaffa were found dead outside what we believe to be a lab. Three had obviously been killed by weapons of the Tau'ri.

ZIPACNA (annoyed) Then there are survivors still free.

JAFFA It would seem so.

ZIPACNA What about the chemical weapon?

JAFFA No evidence of it has been found. The Tok'ra computers were sabotaged before our ground troops arrived.

ZIPACNA (greatly displeased) Then find the missing survivors.

JAFFA The tunnels are extensive, my lord.

[Zipacna looks angry.]

JAFFA But we will not fail you.

[He bows and leaves.]

INT&mdash;TOK'RA TUNNEL

[Carter is removing fallen debris to try and clear the tunnel. It is an insurmountable task.]

ELLIOT He loves you Major. That's one of the only reasons he was fighting to live. He just wanted you to know.

CARTER The symbiote I carried was Martouf's mate. Martouf and I became close friends because of it.

ELLIOT I'm telling you he loves you. As much as he once loved Jolinar. He regrets what happened, that the host ultimately died. He doesn't want you to feel responsible.

CARTER (quietly) It's okay.

ELLIOT It's getting hard to breathe.

CARTER Yeah. Hang on.

[She continues to remove debris.]

INT&mdash;GOA'ULD SUMMIT

[Daniel walks down a corridor and glances at a strange vat of some sort. He turns, and goes and investigates. The container has ornate carvings of Goa'uld symbiotes on. Removing the lid, Daniel discovers several symbiotes swimming inside it. He looks concerned.]

INT&mdash;TOK'RA TUNNEL

[Carter is still trying to move the debris. She stops, shaking her head, and looks over at Elliot, who is finding it increasingly difficult to breathe. The oxygen within the chamber is rapidly disappearing.]

O'NEILL (over radio) Carter. Carter, if you hear me, respond.

CARTER Sir, we're here. The tunnel collapsed. We're trapped.

O'NEILL Yeah, we noticed that. Listen, how do we use these crystals to move these walls?

ELLIOT Each crystal is designed to create a different section of tunnel. Small, square ones will create short straight openings.

CARTER Sir, use a small square one if you've got it.

[Teal'c removes several crystals from his pocket and begins to study them.]

O'NEILL Roger that. (to Teal'c) You got a small square one there?

TEAL'C There are several of both square and rectangular design.

O'NEILL Small?

ELLIOT If they choose the wrong one they could collapse the tunnel in on us.

CARTER (into radio) Sir, make sure you use the right crystal, it's perfectly square.

[Teal'c holds up a crystal.]

O'NEILL Looks square to me.

[Teal'c sticks the crystal into the wall which removes the blockage and opens up to reveal Carter and Elliot.]

O'NEILL Sweet.

[O'Neill and Teal'c walk up to Carter and Elliot.]

CARTER Thank you.

O'NEILL You bet. Any time.

CARTER Did you find a Tok'ra communicator?

O'NEILL No. No, we didn't.

TEAL'C Many Jaffa troops search the tunnels. They will be here soon.

ELLIOT Use the long rectangle.

[Teal'c checks his pocket. He plants a crystal in the wall which disintegrates and morphs into a new tunnel.]

O'NEILL (impressed) Nice.

ELLIOT You should seal the tunnel behind us.

[O'Neill picks up Carter's P-90 and Teal'c uses the staff weapon to fire on the ceiling of the tunnel, causing it to collapse.]

INT&mdash;GOA'ULD SUMMIT, YU'S QUARTERS

[Osiris is talking to Yu. Daniel is preparing tea and listening intently.]

OSIRIS Time has taught him humility and respect for the union of the System Lords.

YU You take me for a fool.

OSIRIS Please. The Goa'uld have warred with each other since the beginning of time. Anubis has been amassing power so that he may win back your respect. He is also no fool. He knows you would not accept him back without need.

YU We do not need Anubis!

OSIRIS Dissent and disbelief previously unseen in the ranks of the Jaffa, infiltration and subversion by the Tok'ra and you cannot continue to ignore the threat of the humans on Earth.

[He glances at Daniel, who is pouring tea.]

OSIRIS How many must die, how many dominions must fall and how can we continue to claim to be Gods if we cannot act like them? The Tau'ri cannot be allowed to triumph again and again.

YU The treaty with the Asgard protect their planet.

OSIRIS From the System Lords.

YU Who must enforce the treaty upon all Goa'uld.

OSIRIS But not from one who's been dead for a thousand years.

YU What do you propose?

OSIRIS Accept my vote on behalf of Anubis and before he resumes his position amongst you, he will destroy Earth.

[Daniel briefly looks up.]

INT&mdash;TOK'RA TUNNELS

[Teal'c is supporting Elliot while Carter leads. O'Neill is bringing up the rear.]

O'NEILL How many more of those things do we have?

TEAL'C Six.

CARTER We can't stay down here forever, we're out of water.

TEAL'C The Jaffa will not rest until they have found us.

O'NEILL Why do you say that?

TEAL'C If their intent was simply to kill the Tok'ra they have weapons that could have destroyed this facility from space.

[Elliot coughs and is in obvious difficulty.]

TEAL'C Their attack using ground troops suggests they are looking for something.

CARTER The poison.

ELLIOT We can't let them have it. If it comes down to it we'll have to destroy the crystal that contains the formula.

O'NEILL Come on. They got to stop looking for us eventually.

TEAL'C Even if they do stop searching, they will never leave the Stargate unguarded.

O'NEILL Well, Jacob and Daniel will be back sooner or later.

ELLIOT The Tok'ra will have broadcast an alert telling them to stay away. They will assume we died along with the other Tok'ra.

O'NEILL Maybe.

CARTER Well without any way of communicating with them, how will they find us?

O'NEILL Let's keep moving.

INT&mdash;GOA'ULD SUMMIT, CORRIDOR

[Olokun's slave walks by, while Daniel watches. When he has left, Daniel gets the communicator out.]

DANIEL Jacob?

JACOB (over radio) Yeah. Go ahead.

DANIEL They're going to vote on whether to accept Anubis back. Apparently he has a plan to attack Earth.

JACOB (on cargo ship) Did you get any details?

DANIEL Osiris didn't say. Hey, here's a question for you. Why do you think the Goa'uld are allowing their human slaves to hear everything that's going on?

JACOB I'm not sure. The truth is, we suspected they were going to kill the slaves when the Summit was done.

DANIEL And you didn't think that was important enough to tell me?

JACOB Not considering that you were going to kill all the Goa'ulds.

DANIEL I'm not doing that any more.

JACOB True. What's your point?

DANIEL There's a big vat of live symbiotes here.

JACOB So they're not planning on killing the slaves after all.

DANIEL Not by the looks of it.

JACOB Get to the shield generator and shut it down. I'll get you out of there.

DANIEL Not yet.

JACOB Daniel, if you're caught and that poison falls into the wrong hands.

DANIEL I won't get caught.

[He puts the communicator away at the sound of footsteps nearby.]

INT&mdash;GOA'ULD SUMMIT CHAMBER

[Each of the Goa'uld are seated again, with their human slaves just behind them.]

BA'AL Who among us accepts the return of Anubis to the System Lords?

[Ba'al clasps his hands and nods his head, so does Olokun. Morrigan nods her head, Kali nods, Bastet nods. The other unnamed System Lord does too. Yu shakes his head.]

BA'AL The vote need not be unanimous. By a count of six to one, Anubis is awarded the status of System Lord and welcomed back among those that lead the Goa'uld. Osiris will be allowed to vote on his behalf.

OSIRIS You shall not regret this.

BA'AL May we rule forever.

OLOKUN There is much to discuss in that regard.

BASTET But first.

BA'AL (opens his hands and looks to the ceiling) Lor kor harak. (shouts) Sha mel.

[The lights go out and something is ringed in. It is the vat of Goa'uld. The System Lords get up and gather round the vat. Ba'al, Osiris then Kali reach in and take one out. The slaves present look confused. The rest of the Goa'uld reach in and we see them bite into the symbiotes and eat them. Daniel looks disgusted.]

INT&mdash;TOK'RA TUNNELS

[Carter is tending to Elliot, who is fading fast. Teal'c approaches from the far end of the corridor.]

TEAL'C There does not appear to be any Jaffa currently pursuing us.

O'NEILL Good, we haven't heard bombers in a while. Let's try the surface.

CARTER Elliot, can you hear me? How do we use the crystals to tunnel up to the surface?

ELLIOT Surface?

CARTER Yeah, we wanna get up there and get some water.

ELLIOT Diamond.

[Teal'c gets the collection of crystals from his pocket, and starts to look for a diamond.]

CARTER You said the Tok'ra are probably transmitting an alert to warn others away.

ELLIOT Long range sensors, detect incoming ships, transmit signals to deep space.

[Teal'c and O'Neill look at the crystals, but several appear to be diamond shaped. They are unclear. Teal'c chooses one.]

CARTER Could we reprogram one to signal Jacob and Daniel?

ELLIOT It's possible.

TEAL'C Where are they?

ELLIOT Four of them, 25 miles from the Gate, each is due north, south, east and west.

O'NEILL I figure we're three miles from the Gate.

CARTER Give or take. Either way, we have to get to one of those sensors.

[She picks Elliot up. Teal'c plants the diamond crystal and a tunnel appears, leading to the surface.]

O'NEILL Let's go.

INT&mdash;GOA'ULD SUMMIT

[Daniel and Ba'al's slave are preparing something.]

DANIEL You knew they were going to eat them?

SLAVE Yes. They do that every night for as long as the summit continues.

DANIEL What do you think will happen when this is over, to us, I mean?

SLAVE That is between you and your master.

DANIEL Don't you think it is strange that the Goa'uld are letting us see their sacred rituals, hear their most secret conversations?

SLAVE I have been in the service of my master for 24 years. In that time I have seen and heard many, many things. Have you not?

DANIEL My master's regular Lotar could not be present. I took his place on short notice.

SLAVE I see.

DANIEL May I speak honestly with you?

SLAVE Have you not been honest prior to now?

DANIEL Yes, of course. What I mean is, can I trust you that no matter what I say, this conversation will remain between us?

[The slave nods.]

DANIEL I believe the Goa'uld are powerful beings, that use humans like us as hosts. I believe they use their power to portray Gods so the masses will follow and serve them.

SLAVE I agree.

DANIEL You know this to be true?

SLAVE Yes.

DANIEL And yet you still serve?

SLAVE As do you.

DANIEL Yes, but my fear is, when this is over, my master will not wish me to spread the secrets that I have learned and will kill me to prevent it.

SLAVE You would not be here if your master did not trust you.

DANIEL True. But what if they do not care what we have seen and heard because when they are done eating the symbiotes they plan to put the leftovers in us?

SLAVE You should only be so fortunate.

DANIEL Excuse me?

SLAVE I have served my master so well for so long in the hope that one day he will grant me the honour of implantation.

DANIEL The honour?

SLAVE (enthusiastically) Yes. Endless pleasure and the power of the Goa'uld. And the chance to one day ascend to the rank of System Lord.

INT&mdash;GOA'ULD SUMMIT ROOM

[Daniel walks back in with a jug.]

BASTET I lost two motherships in that battle.

OSIRIS Your strategy was obviously weak.

[They exchange hostile glances.]

YU Your master has exacted tolls from each of us.

OSIRIS Yet you have all voted to welcome him back into the fold.

BA'AL The power he has regained so quickly is worthy of respect.

OLOKUN What does he offer now to repay the damage he has done in garnering his forces?

OSIRIS Anubis owes the System Lords nothing. He joins you for the greater good of all Goa'uld.

BA'AL Anubis may have grown strong but he does not outweigh the collective power of the System Lords. What deed does Anubis offer as evidence of the dedication you claim on his behalf?

YU Speak now or leave us.

OSIRIS As I have said before, Anubis believes that the greatest threat to the Goa'uld is that from within.

[Daniel listens more intently.]

OSIRIS As we meet here, that threat is being greatly weakened. Over the years we have all lost a great deal to the infiltrations, subversions and rebellious acts of the Tok'ra. Today, will be henceforth as known as the day the blood of the Tok'ra ran free and their rebellion ended for good.

EXT&mdash;RAVANNA

[The landscape is pockmarked with craters from explosion. Carter comes up a bank with some water while O'Neill and Teal'c make a stretcher for Elliot.]

TEAL'C There are gliders patrolling the area.

O'NEILL I figure we got twenty, twenty five miles to go in that direction.

CARTER With this terrain, I figure we can make a mile every fifteen minutes. That should hopefully put us at the sensors in under nine hours.

INT&mdash;GOA'ULD SUMMIT, CORRIDOR

[Daniel stops a slave.]

DANIEL Excuse me. I wish to pass on a message from my master Yu to Osiris. He wishes to meet.

[The slave nods and leaves.]

INT&mdash;JACOB'S CARGO SHIP

[Daniel's voice comes over the communicator.]

DANIEL Jacob?

JACOB What the hell's going on Daniel?

DANIEL Anubis knows the location of the Tok'ra base. Osiris says he's attacking right now.

JACOB Get to the shield Daniel, shut it down. I'm coming in.

DANIEL Forget that, I have a new plan.

JACOB What are you doing?

[Daniel enters Yu's cargo ship.]

DANIEL I'm stealing Yu's cargo ship. I can fly out from inside the shield without shutting it down, right?

JACOB Yes, why?

DANIEL Uh, 'cos I'm taking Osiris with me.

JACOB Do you have her now?

DANIEL No, but I'm working on it.

[He powers up the systems on the ship.]

JACOB Daniel, the chemical weapon you're carrying could be the only way we can stop the attack on Ravanna.

DANIEL Yeah, and Osiris could eventually lead us to Anubis. And you and your buddies can do your best to take the snake out and save Sarah, right?

JACOB How are you going to fly that ship?

DANIEL Well, I've flown a mothership. How hard can this be?

INT&mdash;GOA'ULD SUMMIT, CORRIDOR

[Ba'al's slave comes across Yu.]

YU Where is my Lotar, Jarren?

SLAVE I have not seen him, your lordship.

[Yu walks off.]

SLAVE My lord? Forgive me. While you know I faithfully serve my master Ba'al, and therefore hear whatever I say with certain suspicion. I believe it is my duty to tell you that your new Lotar cannot be trusted.

[Yu walks off.]

INT&mdash;Yu's CARGO SHIP

[Osiris walks in, but there is no one to greet her. She looks around suspiciously and pulls out her dagger. She walks into the cargo hold and Daniel runs in to close the doors.]

OSIRIS Stop!

[The doors close and Daniel walks backwards only to be sent flying by Yu as he hits Daniel. Yu opens the doors and is stabbed by Osiris. Daniel tries to run to the escape pod, but is grabbed by Osiris and thrown backward. She grabs him by the neck, and places the dagger at his throat. Daniel tries to push the dagger away.]

OSIRIS How unfortunate that Lord Yu could not trust his slave. Each was mortally wounded in the fight as the slave attempted to kill his master.

DANIEL Sarah. It's me, Daniel.

[Osiris is momentarily distracted by this statement. Yu suddenly grabs Osiris and pulls her off Daniel. They battle for possession of the dagger. Daniel punches some buttons and heads for an opening escape pod. He jumps in and Osiris shoves off Yu. She heads for the buttons to stop Daniel but can't get there in time.] OSIRIS No!

[The pod punches out and goes through the shield.]

INT&mdash;JACOB'S CARGO SHIP

[Jacob sees the pod.]

JACOB That better be you Daniel.

DANIEL (over the communicator) Get me out of this thing.

JACOB I'm on my way.

EXT&mdash;RAVANNA

[O'Neill and Teal'c are carrying Elliot. Carter ahs taken point.]

ELLIOT Major?

CARTER Hold up. (to Elliot) Yeah.

ELLIOT I better tell you how to reprogram the sensor.

INT&mdash;JACOB'S CARGO SHIP

[The pod is ringed in and promptly falls over. Jacob runs in and opens the pod.]

JACOB Are you okay?

DANIEL (in pain after falling backward) Oh yeah. Thanks.

[Jacob helps him out.]

JACOB What happened?

DANIEL I had her and then Yu had me and I had to get out of there without her finding out.

JACOB The poison?

DANIEL It's right here.

JACOB Good man.

[They go to the front seats.]

DANIEL How long is it going to take us to get there?

JACOB Pushing the hyperdrive engines full power, six hours. But we may already be too late.

DANIEL I know this may seem unimportant right now, but I may as well tell you anyway. I think I figured out why the Goa'uld population hasn't been growing much lately.

[The ship jumps into hyperspace.]

EXT&mdash;RAVANNA

[Teal'c and O'Neill are carrying Elliot on the stretcher.]

CARTER (off camera) Colonel.

[Carter clears away some debris off the sensor.]

O'NEILL Nice.

INT&mdash;ZIPACNA'S MOTHERSHIP

[Zipacna is reading from a Goa'uld data device. His First Prime enters.]

FIRST PRIME My lord. A cargo ship was detected exiting hyperspace but it cloaked immediately. Its current location is unknown.

ZIPACNA Huh. Deploy a squadron of gliders. And have them scan the atmosphere for disturbances. And if the ship even attempts to land on the planet, shoot it down.

[The First Prime bows, then turns and starts to leave.]

What about the survivors?

JAFFA They have not been found as yet, my lord. The search continues.

ZIPACNA (annoyed) Then join the search yourself. And if you do not find either the formula or a living Tok'ra who can tell me of it, do not bother to return.

[He returns to reading the data device.]

INT&mdash;JACOB'S CARGO SHIP

[A beeping starts.]

JACOB We're getting an alert from the surface.

DANIEL What's it say?

JACOB The base has been compromised. Assume no survivors. We should go.

EXT&mdash;RAVANNA

[Elliot lies on the ground while Carter works on the sensor device.]

CARTER That's it. I'm done.

O'NEILL How do we know it's working?

CARTER I guess if someone comes to rescue us.

[O'Neill nods, then looks up at the sky.]

INT&mdash;JACOB'S CARGO SHIP

[There is another bleeping sound.]

JACOB We're getting another signal.

DANIEL What is it?

JACOB (a small smile starts) It's an SOS.

DANIEL Well, it has to be Jack or Sam.

JACOB Hopefully both. And more. Let's ride.

EXT&mdash;SKY

[Gliders start to fire on the cloaked ship.]

INT&mdash;JACOB'S CARGO SHIP

DANIEL What the hell?

[The cargo ship uncloaks.]

JACOB We've been hit. Our cloaking mechanism has failed. They must have locked onto our heat signature as we passed through the atmosphere.

[More shots are fired.]

JACOB I can't shake 'em.

[There are sparks from control panels. The cargo ship starts to shake ever move violently.]

JACOB I can't shake 'em. I'm diverting power to the shields. We're losing altitude fast. Hang on Danny, we're going in.

[The Ravanna forest can be seen through the ship's window.]

EXT&mdash;RAVANNA

[O'Neill, Carter and Teal'c look round as they hear the firefight above them.]

TEAL'C (pointing to the sky) There.

[Jacob's cargo ship can be seen hurtling toward the ground, with a plume of smoke billowing from it. Gliders chase it.]

INT&mdash;JACOB'S CARGO SHIP

JACOB This is going to be rough.

[Both he and Daniel brace for impact.]

EXT&mdash;RAVANNA

[The cargo ship crashes through trees, bumps over a hill, and nosedives into soft earth, coming to a halt. There are several shots of Jacob and Daniel inside the ship, flinching as they hit trees.]

EXT&mdash;RAVANNA

O'NEILL (to Carter) Stay with Elliot.

[Teal'c and O'Neill go to the cargo ship.]

INT&mdash;JACOB'S CARGO SHIP

[Daniel comes to. He is hunched over the control panel, but still in his chair. As he comes to sparks erupt from the panel. Jacob is lying on the floor, with blood on his forehead.]

DANIEL Hey. You okay?

JACOB Not really.

DANIEL Yeah, you'd think a race advanced enough to fly around in space ships would be smart enough to have seat belts, huh?

JACOB We just prefer not to crash.

DANIEL (pulling Jacob up) Come on, we'd better get out of here.

EXT&mdash;RAVANNA

[O'Neill and Teal'c come down a little path and meet Jacob and Daniel.]

TEAL'C Are you injured?

JACOB I'll live.

O'NEILL How's our ride?

JACOB It's not going anywhere fast.

EXT&mdash;RAVANNA FOREST

[Carter is tending to Elliot when she hears someone approaching. She brings up her P-90. She sees it is Jacob, followed by the other members of SG-1.]

CARTER Dad. You all right?

[They embrace briefly.]

JACOB Yeah. Looks worse than it is. Are you all right?

CARTER Yeah, I'm fine.

DANIEL How's Elliot?

CARTER He's in rough shape. He got injured during a cave in, Lantash went into him to try and save him but it's not working.

JACOB There's a chance we might be able to save the cargo ship but not before this whole area is swarming with Jaffa. Those gliders definitely made our position.

TEAL'C We cannot escape through the Stargate.

DANIEL We still have this.

[He gets the poison out.]

JACOB As much area as that will cover I don't think the chemical will spread from here to the Stargate.

CARTER Well we can't release it here, it will kill you, Elliot and Teal'c.

O'NEILL Then I guess I've got to figure out a way to get it to the Gate.

JACOB It's suicide. You're assuming the Jaffa won't shoot you on sight.

TEAL'C Given the lack of cover and the size of the Jaffa army, I do not believe even I could make it to the Stargate undetected.

ELLIOT Leave it here with me.

[They all turn and look at Elliot.]

O'NEILL What good's that going to do?

ELLIOT Leave here and hide. The Jaffa will find me. I'll tell them I know the formula, they'll take me to the Gate.

TEAL'C He is correct. He will be taken to the base camp by the Stargate before being sent to the mothership.

O'NEILL Won't they search him first?

ELLIOT Then I'll&hellip;.Then I'll set off the weapon, take out as many as I can.

[SG-1 exchange glances. Elliot closes his eyes, and Lantash takes control.]

LANTASH Please. We're both going to die. I cannot save us. (looks directly at Carter) But there's a chance we can save you.

O'NEILL What about Elliot?

ELLIOT It doesn't make sense for any of you to risk your lives to try and save me. Give me the device.

[Daniel looks to O'Neill, who looks away, then nods reluctantly. Daniel gives him the device.]

ELLIOT Now go. They'll be here soon.

[Carter caresses the side of his face. He looks at Carter.]

ELLIOT He's happy now; he just wanted you to know how he felt.

CARTER I do. And I'll never forget him. Or you.

[A glider flies over.]

TEAL'C Ground forces will not be far behind.

JACOB Sam, we got to go.

[Carter strokes Elliot's cheek as he looks terrified. Carter is led away by Jacob. O'Neill nods at Elliot, then walks off. Elliot is left alone, his breathing laboured. He hears a Jaffa hunting horn, and puts the poison in his pocket. He looks terrified but resolved. Many Jaffa footsteps can be heard, followed by another horn blast.]
