STARGATE SG1
Episode 411
"POINT OF NO RETURN"
By
Paul Mullie & Joseph Mallozzi
We begin with a shot from below of Sam pouring water in a glass.
SAM
Does anyone know what this meeting's
all about?
DANNY
No, but I hope it's important. I was
working on translating the
cuniform tablet we found on P3O-255.
SAM
I still have to finish recalabrating
MALP 3-K sensors for long-term
reconngnisses on P5X-3D7.
TEAL'C
I was unable to complete my Kel'No'Reem.
JACK
(Laying on his arms) I was just about
to do something important.
GH
(Walking in) All right, people. As you
were. We have ourselves a
switchboard received the following call ---
GH Switches the tape recorder on.
MAN
(From the TR) Hello. This is a message
for Colonel Jack O'Neill and
anyone else who's listening. I know this call's being monitored,
but don't
bother to set up a trace. I'm at a phone booth in Butte, Montana,
and I'll
be long gone before your black-ops teams can get here. You're
not dealing
with an amateur. I know all about Roswell, (Jack kinda rolls
his eyes here.)
And the Kennedy cover-ups, and the --- (GH begins to FF tape.)
GH
He goes on like that for a while.(GH
stops tape)
MAN
(Continuing on TR) ---and the C.I.A.-sanctioned
Microwave harassment,
and the --- (GH Continues to FF tape) (Danny raises his eyebrows
in boredom)
GH
Quite a while.
MAN
(After more FF ding) --- And the Lizard
people. (A smile slowly creeps
across Jack's face! He's so cute!) (Here, seeing Jack grin, Sam
tries to
hide a smile by looking next to her at Danny, Danny looks at
Jack) But the
point is, none of these compare with your little secret, Colonel.
I'm
talking about a large circular object, discovered in Egypt, currently
residing at the bottom of a missle silo under Cheyenne Mountain.
I believe
you call it the stargate. Now that I've gotten your attention,
I want to
meet --- tomorrow, 11 A.M. at the New Cloverleaf Restaurant in
Billings, and
Colonel, come alone. (GH stops recorder)
JACK
Interesting. (Sam and Danny share glances)
TEAL'C
It would appear base security has been
breached.
GH
I want to know who this man is. I want
to know how he got his
information, and I want to know who he's been talking to. You
leave in half
an hour.
OPENING CREDITS
Next shot goes to the diner. Jack is tapping his fingers nervously,
and
impatiently on the table. A man walks up to him. The shot pans
his clothing.
He has nice dress shoes on with gray dress pants, blue dress
shirt, with a
tan jacket. He's pretty well dressed. He's a balding man with
big blue eyes
, and thick glasses.
MAN
Colonel O'Neill?
JACK
(Looking up) Yeah?
MAN
Sorry I'm late. I think I was followed.
(Looks around)
JACK
(Also looks around) Ya sure?
MAN
Yeah. But don't worry. I managed to
loose 'em.
JACK
Very professional. (Man looks around)
What's your name?
MARTIN
You can call me Martin.
JACK
(Looking very yummy in a green civy
shirt) OK, Martin. (MMN! Love the
gray hair!) What's this about?
MARTY
(Not to be confused with another Marty
who was a Tok'Ra!) If you
don't mind, Before we get started ---
Jack watches as Marty gets up and stands next to him. He has
something that
looks like a cellular phone in his hands. Jack rises.
MARTY
(Passing the cell-phone looking thingy
over Jack's body
get out! Shut up, AQ!>) Just like to check you for transmitters.
(OH! NO!
Oh, to be that transmitter! OOPS, I said it! )
JACK
Okay ---
MARTY
You're clean. You understand, a man
in my position has to take
precautions.
JACK
Yeah. You never know who's listening.
While the following conversation is going on, the Shot goes to
Teal'C
dressed as a short order cook, white hat and all, turning the
check console
in the kitchen to reveal a small hidden camera!
MARTY
Exactly! I don't know about you, but
I always feel like I'm being
watched.
JACK
Come on, Martin. Let's get to it, what's
going on here?
MARTY
You know as well as I do, Colonel.
JACK
I don't.
Shot goes to the camera's prespective of the diner.
SAM
OK, Here we go. (Typing) We've got a
driver's licence. We should be
able to find him.
DANNY
You know, I've never been on a stakeout
before. Shouldn't we have
like donuts or something. (Takes a sip of his coffee)
MARTY
A top secret government program involving
instantaneous travel to
other Solar Systems, by means of a device known as a stargate.
JACK
Sounds like a good idea for a TV show.
If you're into that sort of
thing.
MARTY
Colonel, let's not play games. If it
isn't true, then why would you
come all this way?
JACK
OK. The truth, there is a top-secret
government program called project
Stargate.
MARTY
I Knew It!
JACK
But it has nothing to do with space
travel.
MARTY
What does it have to do with?
JACK
Magnets.
MARTY
What the hell is that supposed to mean?!
JACK
Nope, I've already said too much.
MARTY
Colonel, you're not taking this seriously.
JACK
No, I'm not.
MARTY
I need help.
JACK
Why? What seems ---
MARTY
I have to go thru the star gate!
JACK
Marty, I don't ---
MARTY
No, I mean it. I've come to realize
that I don't belong here. For the
longest time, I was obsessed with all those --- (Jack shifts
his eyes toward
Teal'C who just looks at Jack) --- Alien conspiracies --- crop
circles, cow
mutilations, the Apollo cover-up.
JACK
I thought the lunar landings were a
hoax.
MARTY
No, that was the story created by the
government to direct attention
away from the real cover-up. Everybody knows that! Anyway, one
day, I'm
online, and I find this conspiracy chat room, and they're talking
about
something called the star gate. Most of it was disimformation
, but the word
"Stargate" stuck in my head. It triggered what I later realized
was an
oppressed memory. You see, Colonel O'Neill, the truth is, I'm
not just
interested in outer space --- I'm FROM outer space.
JACK
(Looking @ him with no expression) Check,
please!
Next shot is Danny looking over the driver's shoulder to the
diner from the
van.
SAM
We've got something. (Danny walks to
the back of the van) (Pointing to
the computer screen.) That's him, Martin Lloyd, brown hair, hazel
eyes.
(Typing) (Mug shot comes up) Looks like he's got a criminal record.
He was
arrested for protesting outside a TV station. He said subliminal
advertising
was controlling his thoughts.
DANNY
(Raises his eyebrows) Do you have a
current address?
SAM
Yeah, I could get the prescription of
his glasses if I wanted. (More
typing)
MARTY
So, you still don't believe me?! I'm
an Alien!
JACK: SIGHS YOU LOOK PRETTY HUMAN TO ME. SMILES
MARTY
No --- what I believe, is that thousands
of years ago, people were
taken from earth, maybe as part of some experiament, maybe as
slaves, who
knows. But the point is, there are entire civilizations up there
descending
from those original humans.
JACK
Now, that's just crazy talk!
MARTY
Want proof?! (Stops when waitress brings
check) I can give you proof.
I can show you my ship.
JACK
Look, Marty, I'm a busy man. And you
don't strike me as any great
threat to national security --- (He stops when he see's the check.
It says
WE'VE GOT HIS ADDRESS, STALL HIM! On it. He also ordered a Cherry
pie which
costed $2.00 and a coffee which costed $.75 for a total of $2.75!
What's his
thing with pie??!?!? ) But, as you know, it never hurts to
be thorough.
So, show me. (Marty nods, and gets up. Jack rolls his eyes, and
gets up)
Shot goes to wooded area with a nice stream.
MARTY
It's just over the next ridge. The ship's
supposed to be buried, but
I know exactly where it is.
JACK
(Looking exceptionally yummy in leather
jacket!) Marty --- what makes
you think you can trust me with all this?
MARTY
I can't explain it Colonel, I just have
a gut feeling. We have
something in common.
JACK
Well, that's very flattering, but I'm
not an alien.
MARTY
I KNOW that! Something else.
JACK
(Quietly) Right.
MARTY
Up here.
Next shot goes to Sam's shoes getting out of the car. I knew
it was her by
the way she walks. Sam really looks great! She has black shoes
with a buckle
on them, denim pants, and jacket, and a pink or salmon colored
turtle neck
sweater.
SAM
This is it. (As they walk up to the
house)
DANNY
Nice place! (Sam knocks on the door)
SAM
Hello?! (She looks @ Danny and shakes
her head.) (She proceeds to pick
the lock! Man, that girl got skills!) (They walk in the house.
It has all
kinda alien stuff in it!) Oh, Boy!
DANNY
Something tells me we don't need to
worry about this guy.
SAM
Except for the fact he happens to be
very close to the truth. (She
walks up too --- IS THAT THOR?!?!?!?!?!?! Sorry! It's a statue
that
looks just like the Asgards.) He looks familiar!
Space noise is heard. Sam looks toward Teal'C who is playing
with a toy
laser gun.
TEAL'C
(Dead seriously!) It would appear
this weapon is ineffective.
(Sam smiles)
Danny opens some blinds. Then he looks thru some cabinets. Opens
up another
cabinet to reveal it's FULL of prescription bottles!
DANNY
Oh, Hello! Sam, you're gonna wanna ---
take a look @ this! (Sam walks
over to Danny, you can still hear the sounds of the toy gun!)
SAM
Whoh, that's quite a collection! Tranqualizers,
antidepressants,
Antipsycotics. Looks like our friend here has been treated for
a number of
different psychotic problems.
DANNY
Yeah, why doesn't that surprise me?
JACK
(Walking thru woods with Marty) Marty,
we've been walking around for
the last half hour!
MARTY
I don't understand it! The clearing
where I landed should be around
here somewhere.
JACK
How do ya loose a spaceship?
MARTY
Well, my memory isn't so good. Sometimes,
I get a little confused. I
think it might be the medication.
JACK
Yeah, well, there ya go. Hey, listen,(Grabs
Marty's arm to stop his
walking) I'm gone back to the car.
MARTY
NO! Wait! You can't --- please --- It's
around here somewhere. I know
it is!
JACK
Marty, listen to me! There IS no spaceship!
You're NOT an alien!
MARTY
You don't understand!
JACK
I get that a lot. (Marty bows his head)
Come on. I'll drive you back
to town.
Danny's reading a journal.
SAM
Find anything?
DANNY
Oh, yeah. It's a diary. (Reading from
Journal) Um --- April 12
Comb missing. Suspect CIA has stolen it to aquire genetic identification.
dresser Disposed of it in case of Tampering, bought new comb
39 cents (Sam's
walking around as Danny talks) @ shopmart. I'm telling you this
is a
complete waste of time. He has paranoid delusions. (Sam looks
into Thor,
uh --- I mean the sculpture of the Roswell greys)
Sounds of Motor Whirring. Shot goes to a TV monitor with Sam
on it.
MAN
What have we got?
MAN #2
Activity in the house.
MAN
Looks like Martin's got visitors.
MAN # 2
That's not all. See the big guy? Watch
what happens when I get a
thermo scan. (OH! Well! Look at Junior! ) Definitely not human.
Back @ base, Janet knock on a door.
GH
Come in.
JANET
Sir, I have the results of the tests
done on the medication that
Major Carter took from Martin's house. (She hands him the report)
GH
That was fast.
JANET
Preliminary analysis was done in a Montana
lab. They faxed it over.
There are some anomalies.
GH
Meaning?
JANET
Several unidentifiable chemicals were
present. I believe that the
drugs may have been tampered with.
GH
For what purpose?
JANET
I can't say. I mean for all we know,
the medications may be the cause
of his delusions.
GH
I'll mention that to Colonel O'Neill.
JANET
The name of the psychiatrist who prescribed
the drugs was on the
label.
PSYCHIATRIST
I must say, your phone call piqued my
curiosity. I don't often
get requests for information from the military!
SAM
Well, this concerns a particular patient
of your , Martin Lloyd.
PSYCHIATRIST
Oh, I see. Of course, you understand
that doctor/patient
privilidge prohibits me from discussion case history of a client.
SAM
This is a matter of National Security,
Doctor Tanner. The privilidge
doesn't exist in this case.
DR. TANNER
National security involving MARTIN!
(Chuckles) I find that hard
to believe!
DANNY
Why do you say that?
DR. TANNER
Let's put it this way, people like Martin
sometimes compensate
for their feelings of insignificance by creating elabrate fantasies
in which
they are the center and focas of all the attention. These people
are usually
harmless, although they may try and draw others into their illusions.
That's
what's happened here.
Some Alien movie is on TV. A machine is whirling, and humming??
Is heard!
The machine stops. Teal'C walks up to Jack, and puts his big
hand out. Jack
reaches into his pocket, and takes out a handful of coins, and
gives them to
Teal'C! LOL! He puts a coin in the machine, and smile the biggest
,
teethiest, smile I have EVER seen! He lays down on the bed, which
starts
shaking . OH! MY GOD!!!! Guys! I THINK it's TEAL'C that's humming,
because
when the bed starts vibrating, the hums vibrate as well! Knock
on the door.
MARTY
Colonel O'Neill! (Teal'C perks his head
up) Colonel O'Neill, are you
in there?
JACK
(Mutes TV, and walks to the door) Martin?
MARTY
Please! I have to see you!
Jack throw a hat @ Teal'C who is sitting up on the vibrating
bed.
MARTY
Oh, good. You're here. You have no I
dea how --- (He stops when he
sees Teal'C laying on the bed) Who's he?
JACK
Um --- my friend --- Murrey. (Teal'C
, still laying on the vibrating
bed, waves)
MARTY
You trust him?
JACK
Oh, yeah!
MARTY
I guess it's OK.
JACK
Good, glad you're confortable.
MARTY
(Looking out of blinds, then closing
them) Don't ya wanna know how I
found you?
JACK
(Shaking his head no) Uh --- OK! (Said
less than enthusiastic)
MARTY
(Struggling with the cheap cutains)
In your car, I notice a map of
the Sleep-Rite Motel Chain. I checked every one in town.
JACK
There's 2.
MARTY
I'm surprised a man in your position
wouldn't take more precautions
to maintain your cover.
JACK
I'm not undercover.
MARTY
(Locks door) You think I'm making this
all up. Look at this. (He
produces what appears to be a toothpick) (Teal'C , smiling on
the still
shaking bed, looks @ him)
JACK
(Sarcastic, monotone voice) (Taking
the toothpick) Yes --- It all
makes since now.
MARTY
I propped it up against the inside of
my door. When I got home, it
was on the ground, meaning --- someone was there.
JACK
If you prop it up against the inside
of your door, how do you get out?
MARTY
Thru the window! You think I'm so stupid,
I go out my own front
door?!
Shot goes to a still smiling Teal'C on the still vibrating bed.
It stops
vibrating, and he sits up.
JACK
So, you leave the window unlocked?
MARTY
That's right. I put a hair on the inside
of the window sill, and when
that's gone when I ---
JACK
Marty!
MARTY
The point is, someone was there. They're
after me. Help me, please!
I'm running out of time.
JACK
(Annoyed??) What do you want?
MARTY
I wanna go home. You have to take me
thru the stargate.
Back to Doctor's office .
DANNY
Dr. Tanner, it may be true that Martin
is delusional, but there are
still some unanswered questions here.
DR. TANNER
Such as?
DANNY
He seems to be taking a lot of medication.
DOCTOR
Only what is necessary.
Sam starts reciting various meds.
DOCTOR
Major, please! I don't have time to
discuss pharmacology. This
interview is over. (Getting up)
SAM
Doctor Tanner, we obtained samples of
Martin's medication, apparently,
the drugs have been tampered with.
DOCTOR
That's obserd! There must be some kind
of mistake!
SAM
The tests were very thourough.
DOCTOR
I don't know anything about this. I
mean, I just write the
prescriptions! I don't MAKE the drugs!
SAM
We're not accusing you of anything!
We're just looking for answers.
DOCTOR
You realize that this investigation
is only gonna fuel Martin's
paranoia!
SAM
We have no choice! Now we're gonna get
to the bottom of this with or
without your help.
DOCTOR
I --- don't know what else I could tell
you.
DANNY
Does he have any friends, or relatives,
anyone else?
Doctor gets up and looks in filing cabinet.
DOCTOR
This is his work address. (Writes it
down and hands it to Sam)
That's the best I can do.
MARTIN
I knew it would come to this! They'll
do tests on me, they'll
dissect me like one of those demented high school biology experiments
---
JACK
Marty!
MARTY
I'm never gonna get home! I wanna ---
JACK
SIT!!!! (Marty sits) Look, you gotta
relax! Nobody's gonna do anything
to ya, I promice! No, if --- and I stress the word IF --- there
is such a
thing, what makes you think your way home is thru this --- stargate?
MARTY
I---I,I,I--- I don't know! I get these
Ideas. Flashes. It's a little
confusing I don't even know for sure WHY I want to go it's just
--- a, a
feeling --- I'm somebody there. Like, like there's --- something
important
for me to do there, more important than anything I can do here.
Can I have a
glass of water?
JACK
Yeah. (Gets up, and goes to kitchenette
and makes the water) (Marty
digs in pocket for meds.) Let me see those. You should go easy
on this ---
MARTY
But ---
JACK
Just for a while. Trust me.
MARTY
What about the symbols?
JACK
What symbols?
MARTY
It's one of the things I see in the
flashes, there's 7 of em. I wrote
them down. (Jack opens the paper to reveal 6 various symbols,
with the earth
symbol as the last symbol!) (He shows it to Teal'C)
Danny and Sam walk in the warehouse.
SAM
Hello?!
DANNY
This is the place?
SAM
Yeah. This is the address he gave us.
DANNY
But --- it doesn't look like anyone's
place of work, there's --- no
one here. (Sam turns around to guns pointed @ them.) (She puts
her hands up)
SAM
Except for the guys with guns! (Sarcastically)
(Danny turns)
MARTY
(In Rambling mode!) This is totally
unfair! Just cause I'm from
another planet, I don't have rights , I mean doesn't the Geneva
convention
protect extra terrestrials?!?!? I'll haveta remember to go online
---
JACK
Carter's not answering her phone.
TEAL'C
Should they not have contacted us by
now?
JACK
Yep.
MARTY
You know, guys, it would be a really
good idea if I took some of my
medication now.
JACK
I don't think so.
MARTY
The thing is, ifI go too long without
it, I tend to get a little
nervous. No, really. (To Teal'C, who just gives him a stoic look
--- You
know the look, right?)
JACK
Marty, sit down. Let's talk about these
symbols.
MARTY
They mean something, don't they?
JACK
Right now, I need you to think very
carefully. Where did you see them?
MARTY
I told you, I have these visions. I
don't know where they come from.
Maybe it has something to do with my implant.
JACK
Implant?!
MARTY
They put an implant in my head. I always
thought they were sending me
symbols.
TEAL'C
(After Jack just stares @ Marty) To
whom are you referring?
MARTY
You know --- them. The secret government.
The New World Order, black
helicopters, underground bases, don't you guys read the papers?
(Teal'C
appears to roll his eyes!)
JACK
Marty! (Holding his head like he has
a headache) For GOD's Sake!
MARTY
You don't believe me. My neurolgist
didn't believe me either,the
implant is so small, it can't be read under normal ex-ray
JACK
(Looking at Teal'C) (Softly) This is
going no where! I'm gonna go look
for Carter and Daniel. (Handing him the meds) Keep an eye on
him.
MARTY
Hey! Where ya goin'? (Jack leaves) (To
Teal'C) Murrey --- (Teal'C
gives him a threatening pair of eyes!) (He looks scared)
Next shot goes to Sam and Danny's feet tied to the chairs. Pan
up, their
hands are bound as well.
MAN
OK. Let's keep this simple! Who are
you?
SAM
Who are you?
MAN
We're the guys with the guns, which
means you answer OUR questions! So,
once again --- who are you?
DANNY
I'm Doctor Daniel Jackson. This is Major
Samantha Carter.
SAM
We're with the Air forse.
MAN
(You know from this angle , he sure
looks a lot like Martouf!) Well,
what are you doing here?
SAM
(Shakes head) Classified.
MAN
What do you know about Martin Lloyd?
SAM
(Acting dumb) Never heard of him.
MAN
Yesterday, you were conducting an illegal
search in his house.
DANNY
(Joining in on the fun of acting dumb
) No, we weren't.
(Martouf-looking man looks from Sam to Danny who raises his eyebrows)
SAM
So, who are you guys, really? CIA? NID?
MAN
(Looking back @ Sam) What do you know
about Martin Lloyd?
Jack goes to the doctor's office, which is, surprisingly deserted!
Shot goes to Teal'C reading a tabloid paper, the whistle blower.
The
headline reads Headless Alien found in topless bar!
MARTY
(From bathroom) Can I come out yet?,
TEAL'C
NO! (Marty closes door)
JACK
(Walking in) Psychiatrist's office was
completely empty, like no one
had ever been there.
TEAL'C
So, what now, O'Neill?
JACK
I got some people on it. Where's Marty?
TEAL'C
He became insistant in his demands for
medication.
MARTY
(Knocking on door) Uh --- Murrey? Listen,
uh --- I'm REALLY Sorry I
tried to bite you, and I realize it was totally out of line ,
but I was
wondering if I could come out now? Or I could just stay in here.
That's good
too. It's just, I'm getting a little dizzy.
JACK
I don't get it. How does a nut case
like that get a set of gate
coordinates? (A thud is heard) Marty? Martin! (Knocks) You all
right? (He
opens door) Oh! Crap! (Marty's laying on the floor) Marty?! Marty!!?!
(Slaps
his face) Come on, Marty!
TEAL'C
(Standing behind Jack) In hindsight,
we should have given him his
medication, O'Neill.
MARTY
Colonel! I remember where my ship is.
MAN
We know you were in Martin's house,
because we got you on video. (Puts
computer with picture of Teal'C on table.) What can you tell
us about HIM?
DANNY
He's an associate.
MAN
Yeah, we know that! We also know that
he's not from around here.
DANNY
Not from Montana?
MARTOUF LOOKING MAN
(Smiles) I think you know what I mean.
MARTY
We should have turned left @ the bottom
of the ravine instead of
turning right.
TEAL'C
Do you now believe Martin is correct
about his spaceship?
JACK
(Sighs) No --- but he's the closes thing
we've got to a lead on Carter
and Daniel. (Motions for Teal'C to proceed him) After you, Murrey.
MARTY
This is it! I told you! (Running, while
looking back at Jack and
Teal'C) This is the clearing! The ship is around here somewhere!
But,
remember, it's buried, so keep you eyes open, and watch your
step --- (He
falls head over heels ) This is it! I KNEW it was here! (Marty,
Jack, and
Teal'C are digging) I knew it! I'm NOT crazy!
The air forse has set up camp to retrieve the ship.
SOLDIER
The material the object is made from
is definatelly not
terrestrial. I used Sonar to get the general size and shape,
and I've
enhanced the image by extrapolating the exposed portune. It should
look
something like this. (Screen shows craft with wings) Approximately
16 feet
long by 10 feet wide.
MARTY
That's not right. It's too small! That
can't be my ship.
JACK
There's another ship out there?
TEAL'C
Could it be an excape pod?
MARTY
That's it! There must be some kind of
malfunction! We abandoned the
ship, and came down in the pod!
JACK
We? There's MORE of you? How many more?
MARTY
I'm not sure.
SOLDIER
There can't be too many, Sir. Maybe
4 or 5 @ the most.
MARTY
All this time, I thought the government
was watching me. What if it
was the others?
TEAL'C
What would these others want?
MARTY
I don't know. Maybe they're afraid.
They don't wanna be exposed.
TEAL'C
If that is the case, then these others
may indeed be responsible for
the disappearance of DanielJAckson and MajorCarter.
technical Sargent?
DANNY
I wouldn't say ordinary.
SAM
He's very good at what he does.
MLM
What's his area of expertise?
SAM
(Thinks) Speechwriter. (LOL! )
MLM
(Puts on thermal scanner --- OH! LOOK!
It's Junior!) LOL!: What about
this?
DANNY
(VERY Sarcastically) Oh, that's very
good! Did you draw that
yourself?!
SAM
What IS it?!
DANNY
(Still sarcastic) That --- That's a
DUCK, isn't it?!
Another bad guy tells MLM something. He closes the lap top, and
walks away.
DANNY
We'll just wait here.
MARTY
Our home world was under attack. We
were sent here to find allies,
then we realized you weren't advances enough to help up.
JACK
Well, we have our moments.
MARTY
The enemy was too powerful. They wanted
to make us slaves. They
wanted us to worship them like gods.
TEAL'C
(Looks @ Jack, who nods and motions
toward Marty) The Goa'Uld.
MARTY
Yes, that's it!
JACK
Show him.
TEAL'C
The enemy of which you speak enslaved
my people, murdered my father,
and banished my wife and child from our people. I am branded
with the symbol
of this false god. (Takes of hat to reveal his gold serpant guard
tattoo.)
MARTY
MURREY!!!!!
SOLDIER
Colonel, (Teal'C quickly hides head
under hat) We've completed the
radiation sweep. We're ready to open the hatch.
JACK
All right. Let's do it!
MARTY
Wait, wait! You can't! The pod has remote
sensors. If you penetrated
the hull, they're gonna know about it.
TEAL'C
Perhaps this can be used to our advantage
O'Neill.
SAM
I don't get this. These guys know what
a symbiote is, but if they were
really NID, they'd know that Teal'C isn't a security threat.
DANNY
I don't know. That's why I hate working
for the government. Every
department has it's own agenda, it's own little --- secrets!
MAN
Very true , Doctor Jackson. (Uh-Oh!
If it isn't Doctor Tanner!)
DANNY
(Jack-like) OH! Yeah! Yep! Didn't see
THAT one coming!
DR. TANNER(DT)
I understand your reluctance to cooperate.
In situations
like this, information is on a need to know bases. The fact of
the matter
is --- we're running out of time. I'M Running out of patients.
And I
REALLY --- (Takes out some torture thing that looks a lot like
a cow
prod!) ---need to know.
DANNY
You're not a real doctor, are you?
DT nods his head. A beeper goes off.
MLM
Looks like the experiment's been discovered.
What do we do?
DT
Get the van!
DANNY
(Looking exceptionally handsome with
a BLUE shirt on! You know what
blue does to his eyes, right?! Yum!) We're gone for a ride?
DT
Not exactly! (He preps a couple of needles)
MARTY
This is NOT a good idea --- did I mention
this is not a good idea?! I
don't really appreciate being used as bait.
JACK
(From van) Hang in there, Marty! And
stop talking into your lapel.
MARTY
Oh, it's EASY for you guys, all nice
and cozy back in your van eating
your crullers and your bear claws. (You can see men approaching
him in
background) (Teal'C looks confused, Jack just shakes his head)
I'm the one
standing out here, risking my --- (Into lapel) We got company!
DT
I must say, Martin, this is very disappointing.
You stopped taking your
medication, didn't you?
MARTY
I'm not crazy, and you're not a psychiatrist.
You see this? (Pointing
@ ship) This is what brought us here. I remember now!
DT
Martin. You've really made a mess of
things this time. (He presses a
button, and the ship makes a humming sound, and lights up.)
MARTY
Nice van! What do you call that color?
(Into lapel) KIND OF A
GREYISH-GREEN, HUH?!?!?!
MAN
Just get in!
JACK
All right, they're moving.
MARTY
So, you're gonna drug me again?
DT
Well, obviously, that didn't work. (Takes
remote out of pocket) I'm
afraid we're gonna have to take more drastic measures.
MARTY
You're not gonna kill me? You know how
many people know about this,
now? What about Major Carter and Doctor Jackson? Are you gonna
kill all of
us?
DT
We're gonna do what we have to do.
MARTY
This isn't right. I know you. I know
all of you. We were on this ship
together. We're soldiers, not murderers. That's why you drugged
me in the
first place.
DT
Martin---
MARTY
It's not too late. Our people are at
war. They need us.
DT
Martin, I hate to see you like this.
You're my best agent.
MARTY
I was never any kind of agent! You're
just saying that because you
think I'm bugged!
DT
Well, aren't you?
MARTY
NO! Of course not! The government agency
thing, was just a cover.
(Infered shot of target moving on road) We're all really Aliens
, right?
DT
With all the secretcy, and all the lies,
you can get confused.
MARTY
Who's confused! I know who I am! Why
are you guys doing this? Why
can't you just admit it? We can all just go home! THEY HAVE A
STARGATE!
JACK
They've stopped. Get to them! (He cocks
his gun)
Van and special ops crews arrive @ the warehouse.
JACK
(To driver of van) Seal off the area.
No one in or out. (Jack and
Teal'C go in the warehouse, while the special ops teams stay
outside.) (He
walks towards Sam and Danny, Sam is stirring) (Whispering) Carter?
SAM
(Groggy) Sir?
JACK
(Walking over to Sam, and grabbing her
arm) You all right? (Digs in
his pocket, she nods yes) (Danny begins to wake up)
Teal'C has come around the van. Shot goes to his face thru the
dirty glass.
He opens door, Marty is grunting. His mouth is bound with duct
tape.
MARTY
Oh, Murrey! Am I glad to see you! Oh
---
JACK
Where are your friends?
MARTY
I'm not sure.
JACK
(Into radio) Sargent? Any sign of the
targets?
SARGENT
(Thru radio) Negative , Sir!
JACK
They just disappeared?
MARTY
They're Aliens, right? I got evidence.
Look.
JACK
What's that?
MARTY
A mobile computer device. I snuck it
out of Tanner's bag. It has
multible functions, see? (It's beeping) Uh-Oh!
JACK
What?
MARTY
Guys, we'd better get out of here. This
thing is counting down!!!!!
JACK
(Running out of the building) CLEAR
THE AREA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Cool from
the bottom shot of Marty, Sam and Jack diving onto the cement)
(After they
land, and NOTHING happens) Well?
MARTY
That's weird! I'm sure this is a countdown
for some sort of
detination!
GREAT shot of Ship blowing up, creating a creater.
Shot of the chevrons locking.
MARTY
Exactly! This is just like I remembered!
SAM
Chevron 7 is locked!
DANNY
He was right! It's an active gate.
SAM
Sending the MALP thru.
MARTY
I remember EVERYTHING now! There WAS
no malfunction!
JACK
What are you talking about?
MARTY
When we abandoned the ship, we did it
deliberately. We were loosing
the war. We're deserters. After a while, I realized what we'd
done wrong, I
wanted to go back home. But, the others were afraid.
JACK
So, they gave you the drugs?
MARTY
They're not --- bad guys. They're just
hiding.
SAM
Receiving MALP telemetry.
MARTY
You're gonna hunt them down, aren't
you?
JACK
Not me.
MARTY
But the military, the government?
JACK
I don't think anyone's gonna find them.
DANNY
GH Says you're a go.
MARTY
Really?
DANNY
Yeah , it's safe --- but, uh --- you're
not gonna like it.
They go thru, and emerge on the other side. Everything is destroyed!
MARTY
They were right! If we'd gone back,
we'd be dead now.
JACK
I'm sorry, Martin.
MARTY
So, now what?
JACK
We go home.
He begins dialing the gate ---
THE END
