VOICEOVER Previously on Stargate SG-1

EXT&mdash;O'NEILL'S HOUSE

[A barbecue is smoking. Someone picks up a hot dog. O'NEILL comes out into the garden and sees there is a hot dog missing. He turns and sees MAYBOURNE who is eating the hot dog.]

MAYBOURNE I helped myself, I hope you don't mind?

O'NEILL You're eating my dog.

MAYBOURNE You want it back?

O'NEILL Would you like a beer to wash it down?

MAYBOURNE Already got one.

O'NEILL What are you doing here?

MAYBOURNE I can't drop by an old friend's house for a little barbecue?

O'NEILL Well there's that little treason thing.

MAYBOURNE Have me arrested. That's why I'm here.

O'NEILL This is gonna be good isn't it?

MAYBOURNE The current Administration is coming to the end of its second term. I was hoping the President might consider one of those special little pardons they often do when one doesn't care about re election any more.

O'NEILL Really good.

MAYBOURNE I heard about what happened with Prometheus.

O'NEILL I don't know what you're talking about.

MAYBOURNE Oh, nice delivery.

O'NEILL Yeah, I gotta work on that a little.

MAYBOURNE Simmons used the Goa'uld in Adrian Conrad to hijack the X303. He intended to fly them to a planet with a cache of advanced alien weaponry. I was really broken up when I heard Simmons died, by the way.

O'NEILL Yeah, we all shed a tear.

MAYBOURNE What you don't know is the planet Simmons was intending to fly to, has a Stargate.

O'NEILL Simmons knew?

MAYBOURNE Sure. Ultimately it proved easier to grab the X303 than take hold of the SGC just to use the Gate. The NID's known about this planet for a while. I don't have to explain why they didn't tell you.

O'NEILL So instead they're hoarding a secret that could save the planet.

MAYBOURNE Oh, I'm sure they would have come clean if push came to shove. But the address can be yours right now for what's behind door number one.

O'NEILL A Presidential pardon.

MAYBOURNE This is the full prize package, Jack. I wanna go with you on this one.

O'NEILL You must have had a few before you came over.

MAYBOURNE Look, I know you've questioned my methods in the past but we've always been fighting for the same thing. I just want to help make the world safe from the Goa'uld.

O'NEILL Nice delivery.

MAYBOURNE Well, thanks for the beer. Nothing I like more than a good wiener.

O'NEILL Yes, you are what you eat.

MAYBOURNE Guess I won't be needing this anymore.

[MAYBOURNE drops a piece of paper onto the barbecue.]

O'NEILL What is it?

MAYBOURNE The address to the planet with the Ancient weapons.

O'NEILL For God's sake.

[O'NEILL snatches up the piece of paper and pours his beer on it to put it out.]

MAYBOURNE Won't do you much good without me.

O'NEILL Why not?

MAYBOURNE Simmons also didn't know that's there's an impenetrable doorway protecting the weapons storage facility. And I have the key.

CREDITS

EXT&mdash;CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN

INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM

[O'NEILL, CARTER, TEAL'C and JONAS are sitting around the briefing table.]

JONAS Did he say how he came across this key?

O'NEILL No.

HAMMOND You were correct when you said it's doubtful the Pentagon would authorise Colonel Maybourne's presence on an offworld mission.

TEAL'C Should we not at least explore the planet to which he has provided the address?

O'NEILL He did risk his butt just to make the proposition.

CARTER Maybe we can get through the door without him? If Maybourne thinks it's worth a pardon, what's on the other side must be good.

HAMMOND Do it.

EXT&mdash;PLANET

[A castle or monastery is in the distance on a mountain-top. A huge moon fills the sky. SG-1 are walking through the ruins of the monastery.]

JONAS Nobody home.

[JONAS videos a wall hanging.]

TEAL'C Are you able to translate any of this, Jonas Quinn?

JONAS It's not Ancient but it's definitely a language belonging to one of the races of the Ancient alliance.

O'NEILL Nox? Asgard?

JONAS Furlings.

O'NEILL Oh no, not those guys.

JONAS What?

O'NEILL Oh I don't know, I just can't imagine cute little furry things making big powerful weapons, that's all.

JONAS I don't even know what they look like.

O'NEILL Furling. Sounds cute and fuzzy to me.

JONAS This section says something like "only the righteous may pass."

CARTER This looks like where Maybourne's key would go. I'm getting energy readings. There's a power source in this arch. Here.

[CARTER pulls a panel from the wall to reveal alien technology of some sort.]

CARTER Sir? This is definitely something.

O'NEILL What?

CARTER I don't know. I don't recognise the technology.

O'NEILL But can you make it work?

INT&mdash;SGC GATE ROOM

[O'NEILL comes through the Gate.]

O'NEILL Well General, Maybourne's story checks out so far. There's a doorway there that Carter thinks might be a transporter but she can't get it to work without Maybourne's key.

HAMMOND What do you recommend Colonel?

INT&mdash;SGC ELEVATOR

[MAYBOURNE exits the elevator, handcuffed.]

MAYBOURNE Jack.

O'NEILL Harry.

MAYBOURNE I'm trusting you.

O'NEILL You turned yourself in. What happens from hereon out is up to you.

[O'NEILL and MAYBOURNE walk into the briefing room.]

HAMMOND You can remove the cuffs, Airman.

MAYBOURNE General, nice to see you again.

HAMMOND Despite your prior transgressions, you've shown a willingness to help us out of some serious situations recently. And that is why the President is willing to proceed in this matter.

MAYBOURNE You're welcome.

O'NEILL Let's see what you brought.

[MAYBOURNE opens a carrying case and takes out a cloth-wrapped parcel. He unwraps it and reveals an artifact. O'NEILL picks it up.]

MAYBOURNE When do we leave?

O'NEILL I leave right now. We'll let you know how it turns out.

MAYBOURNE Jack. I thought I was pretty clear. I go with you or no deal.

O'NEILL Harry, you're under arrest, I've got the stone and I'm walking out that door. You're not in a strong bargaining position.

MAYBOURNE The only way this mission will be successful is if I'm on it. That stone is useless without the combination.

O'NEILL How's that?

MAYBOURNE It was originally found over eighty years ago in a Pharaoh's tomb in Egypt. The stone was wrapped in a scroll with writing on it that no Earth linguist could decipher. I was recently able to get it translated though.

O'NEILL By whom?

MAYBOURNE The scroll contained instructions for how to use the stone to access the power of the Gods. That information exists in one place. Right here. A deal's a deal. You want to go through the door? I'm gonna be the one who opens it.

INT&mdash;SGC GATE ROOM

HAMMOND There's got to be something more going on here than he'll admit to.

O'NEILL Of that I have no doubt, Sir. But if he's not willing to tell us, we can't force him. Much as I'd like to try.

[MAYBOURNE enters.]

MAYBOURNE Now this is more like it.

O'NEILL Shall we?

[O'NEILL and MAYBOURNE walk up the ramp. MAYBOURNE stops at the top of the ramp.]

O'NEILL Yes?

MAYBOURNE You know the real reason I wanna do this? I've never actually been through this thing before.

O'NEILL Really?

MAYBOURNE I ran the off world operation from Earth using a Goa'uld communicator.

O'NEILL Nervous?

MAYBOURNE Me? No. I'm just taking a moment.

O'NEILL Done?

MAYBOURNE Yeah.

[O'NEILL and MAYBOURNE walk through the Gate.]

EXT&mdash;PLANET

[Same view as previously, but the moon is not out. O'NEILL and MAYBOURNE walk into the ruins.]

O'NEILL Carter.

CARTER Colonels.

MAYBOURNE Major.

O'NEILL Jonas?

CARTER He finished cataloguing the writing and went to do a wider sweep of the surrounding area with Teal'c.

MAYBOURNE He translated everything?

CARTER No. He still needs to get some reference from the SGC. Says it'll take a while.

O'NEILL Harry?

[O'NEILL gestures towards the arch. MAYBOURNE goes over and puts the key into a slot in the arch and turns it. Lights appear but nothing happens.]

O'NEILL What?

MAYBOURNE I'm sure I've got it right.

O'NEILL Harry?

MAYBOURNE It should have worked.

[CARTER goes over to MAYBOURNE.]

CARTER Let me take a look.

[MAYBOURNE grabs her Zat and shoots her in the back. CARTER collapses and he shoots at O'NEILL. MAYBOURNE pulls the key off the wall and the doorway opens. O'NEILL gets up groggily.]

O'NEILL Harry!

[O'NEILL grabs MAYBOURNE as he goes through the doorway. They both fall through and the doorway closes.]

EXT&mdash;A FIELD, LOCATION UNKNOWN

[O'NEILL falls on top of MAYBOURNE. He grabs him.]

O'NEILL You rotten, no good for nothing&hellip;

MAYBOURNE Jack?

O'NEILL You son of a&hellip;

MAYBOURNE Jack!

[O'NEILL looks up and sees that they are in a field that seems to be nowhere near their previous location.]

EXT&mdash;PLANET&mdash;RUINED MONASTERY

[JONAS and TEAL'C arrive and find CARTER zatted.]

JONAS Major Carter? What happened?

EXT&mdash;PLANET

O'NEILL Where the hell are we?

MAYBOURNE Dammit, Jack, why'd you have to do that?

O'NEILL Where's the Zat?

MAYBOURNE I don't know, I don't have it.

[O'NEILL raises his P-90.]

O'NEILL Where is it?

MAYBOURNE It's not here. I guess it didn't come through with us.

O'NEILL Why not?

MAYBOURNE Well, how should I know? Maybe the doorway filters out weapons?

[O'NEILL lifts the P-90.]

MAYBOURNE Goa'uld weapons?

O'NEILL Right, you listen to me. I want a straight answer from you.

MAYBOURNE Well since you're here, I might as well just show you.

[MAYBOURNE walks away.]

O'NEILL Hey!

MAYBOURNE Come on!

[O'NEILL follows MAYBOURNE.]

EXT&mdash;MONASTERY RUINS

CARTER I'm getting nowhere here. Jonas, head back to the SGC, ask General Hammond to send up a UAV. If Colonel O'Neill has activated his tracking device, we should be able to pinpoint his location.

EXT&mdash;PLANET

MAYBOURNE You couldn't just let me go.

O'NEILL You shot me!

MAYBOURNE Zatted. I'm not going back, you know.

O'NEILL Where?

MAYBOURNE Anywhere. To the Stargate or Earth.

O'NEILL What are you talking about?

MAYBOURNE I don't know, maybe they've got a way to send you back. I don't think anyone's supposed to leave, that's part of the deal.

O'NEILL Who are you talking about? What deal?

MAYBOURNE The people at the place we're going.

O'NEILL Maybourne, have you completely lost your mind because if you're suffering I'll gladly put you out of your misery.

MAYBOURNE It's an alien Utopia. According to the scroll it's supposed to be paradise.

O'NEILL What?

MAYBOURNE A long time ago, some people from an advanced alien society, well they chucked it all and they formed this small, isolated Utopian community. They sent out representatives to meet and evaluate people from all over the galaxy and offer them a chance to join them. The scroll and the stone were the invitation.

O'NEILL And this has nothing to do with the weapons Simmons was after?

MAYBOURNE I just figured it was my only way of getting through the Gate.

O'NEILL You know, Harry, it's not that I can't believe you lied to me again, it's that you lied to me again!

MAYBOURNE Oh come on, Jack, no one would have let me through the Gate for this. Would you have even believed me?

O'NEILL And you're sure this is all worth it?

MAYBOURNE Couldn't be much worse than where I've been forced to hide out lately. They're closing in on me. It's only a matter of time. Besides, I've got nothing left on Earth anymore. The money I was supposed to get from selling the Russian symbiote to Adrian Conrad was my last shot at making a life on Earth. Do something good and it turned into a disaster.

O'NEILL Of massive proportion.

MAYBOURNE I'm tired of running, Jack. Why should I, when I could have a chance of retiring in paradise?

O'NEILL I see trees, Harry. You get that in Colorado.

INT&mdash;SGC GATE ROOM

[SILER is preparing a UAV.]

SILER Ready for launch, Sir.

HAMMOND Thank you, Sergeant.

[CARTER and TEAL'C come through the wormhole.]

CARTER Still nothing from Colonel O'Neill and Colonel Maybourne, Sir. They've been gone over two hours now.

HAMMOND We're ready to go.

CARTER Sir, I'd like to apologise.

HAMMOND What for?

CARTER This is my fault. I allowed Colonel Maybourne to take my weapon.

HAMMOND Major, let's just focus on finding them right now.

CARTER Yes, Sir.

EXT&mdash;PLANET

O'NEILL You are so lost.

MAYBOURNE No, I'm sure this is the right way.

O'NEILL How's that?

MAYBOURNE It's in this valley. What's strange is, there's supposed to be a greeting party.

O'NEILL And you know, that's all that's strange about this.

MAYBOURNE They're supposed to know when someone uses the doorway. I was expecting some sort of welcome.

O'NEILL Mai-tais? Leis?

MAYBOURNE Well, something.

O'NEILL Cabana boys? I tell you Maybourne, I don't hear any steel drums. How old was that invitation?

[O'NEILL and MAYBOURNE enter what appears to be a deserted village.]

MAYBOURNE There's no one here.

O'NEILL I noticed that.

[O'NEILL picks up a circular object. He puts it down and walks to the edge of the village.]

O'NEILL Harry?

[MAYBOURNE goes over to O'NEILL. Looking down, there are a number of skeletons lying on the ground.]

O'NEILL This in the brochure?

EXT&mdash;THE RUINED MONASTERY

LEE Major, this technology's unlike anything we've come across before.

CARTER I know.

LEE We have no frame of reference, no way to interface.

CARTER I'm working on it, Doctor. As you should be.

LEE Right.

[TEAL'C is in Kel'no'reem in the background. Hearing this exchange, he opens his eyes.]

EXT&mdash;PLANET

[O'NEILL and MAYBOURNE are sitting by a lake.]

O'NEILL I guess I can see why you'd want to retire here. Given your choices.

MAYBOURNE Find anything that might be a doorway back?

O'NEILL No.

MAYBOURNE You gonna kill me?

O'NEILL I'll sleep on it.

[The sun sets. As it rises the next morning, O'NEILL is filling up his canteen in a river. He walks back to the village through a field, a forest, and past a waterfall. Back at their camp, MAYBOURNE is breaking up wood.]

O'NEILL Well I don't think we're walking out of here.

MAYBOURNE No way of knowing how far we were transported. We could be on the other side of the planet.

O'NEILL Which is why we survive here until we're rescued.

MAYBOURNE Until we're rescued. Jack, this place is supposed to be a secret. The doorway was designed to keep it that way.

O'NEILL Of course, we have the only key known to man.

MAYBOURNE The least you could have done was eat that before you got here.

[O'NEILL is eating an energy bar. He then throws half to MAYBOURNE.]

O'NEILL We're gonna need food and drinkable water.

MAYBOURNE I've been drinking the lake straight up.

O'NEILL Well that's smart.

MAYBOURNE I'm not dead yet.

O'NEILL It's early.

MAYBOURNE Jack, they're never gonna find us.

EXT&mdash;THE RUINED MONASTERY

[The scientists are packing their gear as CARTER enters.]

CARTER I covered as much territory as the range of the UAV will allow.

TEAL'C Have you received word from the Tok'ra?

CARTER Yeah, they responded and said they didn't know when one of their operatives with access to a ship would be able to help us. (She notices that the scientists are packing.) What are they doing?

TEAL'C I believe they have completed their analyses.

CARTER Excuse me? Where's Colonel O'Neill? I don't see him, do you? Did you guys find him while I was gone?

LEE We've been here for a week and I'm not sure, but I'm pretty certain that we could all spend the rest of our natural lives trying to figure out exactly how this thing works. Do you know what? Even if I could snap my fingers and turn it on right now, I'm beginning to doubt whether it would determine where it sent Colonel O'Neill. I'd bet almost anything that the targeting data is in the artefact that Colonel Maybourne used to open that doorway.

CARTER I say when we're done here.

LEE With all due respect Major, I will submit my report to General Hammond. If he's prepared to commit to a long term analysis project, I'm happy to come back, with my big suitcase. But until then, if you'll excuse me?

EXT&mdash;PLANET

[O'NEILL is fishing.]

MAYBOURNE Anything?

O'NEILL Couple of nibbles. They're down there, though.

MAYBOURNE Sleep okay?

O'NEILL No. You?

MAYBOURNE When we first came here, I thought it was quiet. Now it's like I can't keep the noise out. Insects, animals, I don't know, I keep hearing things.

O'NEILL They're called birds.

MAYBOURNE No, no, no, these are weird sounds.

O'NEILL We're on an alien planet.

MAYBOURNE Yeah. Jack I can't live on this stuff, it tastes like arrugula. I hate arrugula.

O'NEILL Don't eat it.

MAYBOURNE We have to eat.

O'NEILL You know, if you keep standing there yakking away, I'm not gonna catch anything.

[MAYBOURNE throws something into the lake.]

O'NEILL What was that?

[MAYBOURNE presses a button on a device he is holding. There is an explosion in the lake. He shrugs and wades into the lake]

O'NEILL That is just wrong on so many levels.

[From the middle of the lake, MAYBOURNE throws a fish towards O'NEILL, almost hitting him.]

EXT&mdash;O'NEILL'S AND MAYBOURNE'S CAMP

O'NEILL Don't ever do that again.

MAYBOURNE You're saying you don't hear things?

O'NEILL No.

MAYBOURNE Last night, I swear I heard someone running around out here. Spent an hour wandering around trying to spot him.

O'NEILL Animals.

MAYBOURNE No tracks.

O'NEILL You're losing your mind.

MAYBOURNE You don't find things a little spooky around here?

O'NEILL Made so only by your presence.

MAYBOURNE yeah well, I'm beginning to wonder if some of the Utopians might still be alive.

O'NEILL There's no evidence of that.

MAYBOURNE Well maybe they're here in another way.

O'NEILL All right, now you are getting spooky.

MAYBOURNE Oh, come on, Jack, you've seen stranger things. Other dimensions, planes of existence. You said it your self, this is an alien planet.

O'NEILL So what do you want me to do?

MAYBOURNE Give me your nine mil.

O'NEILL No.

MAYBOURNE Oh come on, you've got the P-90. You sleep with it beside you for God's sake; I just want to be able to protect myself.

O'NEILL Forget it.

MAYBOURNE Jack! I want that gun.

O'NEILL Forget it! You don't like it here, deal with it. It's your own damn fault.

MAYBOURNE You wouldn't care if I died would you?

O'NEILL What are you talking about?

MAYBOURNE Some alien creature comes in and attacks me in the middle of the night, hauls me out while you're sleeping.

O'NEILL You and I are the only ones here. Trust me, the only thing you have to be afraid of around here is me.

MAYBOURNE Yeah.

[MAYBOURNE takes his fish to his tent. Later, O'NEILL leaves his tented area and hides his ammunition in the brush. Meanwhile, someone is watching him.]

INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM

[CARTER, TEAL'C, JONAS and HAMMOND are in the Briefing Room.]

CARTER Sir, a satellite capable of pinpointing Colonel O'Neill's tracking device would be able to cover a much greater range. The Tok'ra could retrieve it later by ship when one became available so the actual cost would be minimal.

HAMMOND Compared to what?

CARTER To not getting the satellite back.

HAMMOND What about the cost of the delivery system, never mind the manpower required to get it through the Gate and then reassemble it on the other side?

CARTER Sir, I don't think you can place a value on Colonel O'Neill's life.

HAMMOND Of course not, but&hellip;

DAVIS (Over PA system) Unscheduled offworld activation.

HAMMOND We'll continue this later.

[They go down to the Control Room.]

DAVIS We're receiving a transmission, audio only.

JOLEN (Voice over PA system) This is Jolen of the Tok'ra. To whom am I speaking?

HAMMOND General Hammond. Major Carter, Teal'c and Jonas Quinn are also here.

JOLEN Major I just received your message regarding the disappearance of Colonel O'Neill.

CARTER Do you have a ship capable of scanning the planet?

JOLEN Yes. In fact I've already taken the opportunity to fly over the planet in question. There were no detectable human life signs.

CARTER Are you sure?

JOLEN Quite sure. I am very sorry.

HAMMOND Thank you. Hammond out.

JOLEN Jolen out.

[The Gate shuts down.]

EXT&mdash;PLANET

[O'NEILL wakes up and discovers that his P-90 is gone. He picks up his 9mm and walks outside. Checking on Maybourne's sleeping area, he finds him gone. He then discovers that his cache of ammunition has been stolen. He checks around the camp and sees the round artifact on the table. While chewing some leaves from a local plant, he sits down and opens up the artifact, which seems to be a book or record, containing a map of the area. He makes charcoal by burning some bark and starts marking the positions of the skeletons around the village on the map. As O'NEILL is leaning on the table, looking at the map, he hears a noise. He starts to run rather frantically around the camp holding his gun.]

O'NEILL Maybourne!

[O'NEILL wades through the river and finds another village. There are more skeletons. One has a knife in its neck. O'NEILL pulls out the knife and a skeleton of a Goa'uld.]

INT&mdash;SGC LOCKER ROOM

[CARTER is sitting on a bench, clearly distressed. TEAL'C enters.]

TEAL'C Major Carter.

CARTER Teal'c, this is the women's locker room.

TEAL'C It appears there is no one else here but you and you are fully clothed.

CARTER True.

[TEAL'C sits down next to CARTER.]

TEAL'C Are you all right Major Carter?

CARTER I'm fine, yeah.

TEAL'C Have you given up hope of finding O'Neill?

CARTER Hope? No. I'm starting to think Dr Lee is right. I don't think the doorway is the answer. It's been almost a month Teal'c, if there were a way back. It just, it feels like we just lost Daniel, and I don't know if I can&hellip;

[CARTER cries. TEAL'C hugs her.]

EXT&mdash;PLANET

[O'NEILL is walking through the forest and trips a wire. He hears something click and dives for cover as a grenade explodes, throwing him into the undergrowth. A boar with a spiked collar charges at him. He fires two shots at it. MAYBOURNE yells in pain. O'NEILL gets up and sees MAYBOURNE hiding in the undergrowth. He is bleeding from a gunshot wound.]

MAYBOURNE You shot me!

O'NEILL I didn't know you were there.

MAYBOURNE Stay back!

[MAYBOURNE aims the P-90 at O'NEILL.]

O'NEILL Put that down.

MAYBOURNE (Getting up) You wanted to kill me from the start.

O'NEILL Oh screw you Maybourne! I was joking. Look what you did to my leg!

MAYBOURNE I set the trap for the pig.

O'NEILL With a grenade?

[MAYBOURNE backs off and staggers into the forest.]

O'NEILL Where are you going? Harry? I found something. Stop eating that plant. It's messing with your head, Harry. Ah, screw you.

EXT&mdash;PLANET

[At their camp, O'NEILL is pulling a large splinter from a wound in his leg.]

INT&mdash;CARTER'S LAB AT THE SGC

[CARTER and TEAL'C are looking at a computer screen as JONAS enters.]

JONAS General Hammond says he's considering new SG-1 leaders. You included Major.

CARTER We know. Do you have anything?

JONAS Yeah, yeah, I was finally able to come up with some photos of that artifact Maybourne had his hands on. It's quite old, making the scroll a bit difficult to read and I'm pretty sure that the markings on the stone are just decoration but&hellip;

CARTER Teal'c, wind back that tape. Stop, there.

JONAS That was the first day we were there.

CARTER I don't believe it. It wasn't visible after that. I forgot it was even there.

JONAS What?

CARTER The moon. The doorway device doesn't use wormhole technology, it wasn't designed to send you across the galaxy. We thought they'd been sent somewhere else on the planet but they haven't, they've been sent to that moon.

JONAS How do you know that?

CARTER (Indicating the key device) The big circle is the planet, the little circle is the moon, the line between them is the path of transportation.

EXT&mdash;THE CAMP

[O'NEILL is resting when he hears a noise. He gets up. At the other side of the camp, MAYBOURNE is hiding, his face covered in camouflage paint.]

O'NEILL Harry? Harry? It was a Goa'uld. It couldn't bring a weapon through that door so it brought a plant. It's some kind of drug or something. Maybe it was an experiment, maybe it was supposed to get the people to serve him, I don't know but it backfired. These people, they all killed each other because of that plant. You're paranoid, it's messing with your head. I'm not trying to kill you.

[MAYBOURNE shoots at O'NEILL, then throws a grenade. He runs towards where O'NEILL is. He stops when he hears O'NEILL cock his gun behind him.]

O'NEILL Drop it. Drop it now or I will shoot you.

[MAYBOURNE raises the P-90 to fire. O'NEILL shoots him.]

O'NEILL I'm not trying to kill you, Harry. You're losing a lot of blood. If I don't do something right now, you're gonna die.

EXT&mdash;CAMP

[O'NEILL is sitting by the fire as MAYBOURNE starts to come round.]

MAYBOURNE Some retirement this turned out to be.

O'NEILL How are you doing?

MAYBOURNE My head's a little clearer. How long have I been out?

O'NEILL I don't know, day or so.

MAYBOURNE I really screwed up didn't I?

O'NEILL It's not your fault. None of the people here could stop themselves.

MAYBOURNE Right from the beginning. Sorry, Jack, I never should have dragged you into this.

O'NEILL Yes, Harry, you've been a very bad boy.

[MAYBOURNE is straining to breathe.]

O'NEILL Hey, don't you die on me now.

MAYBOURNE What difference would it make?

[A Tok'ra ship appears and flies over the camp.]

O'NEILL Because we're about to be rescued.

MAYBOURNE Oh that's nice.

O'NEILL Isn't it?

MAYBOURNE I can't go back. I'd rather die here than spend the rest of my life in jail.

O'NEILL Yeah, um, I've been giving that some thought. I think you've suffered enough. Hell I even got to shoot you.

MAYBOURNE Twice.

O'NEILL I think the Tok'ra should be able to find a nice planet for you.

MAYBOURNE Thanks, Jack.

O'NEILL Sure, Harry, sure.
