Stargate SG-1 s01e18 Episode Script

Ladies and gentlemen,|this is your Colonel speaking.
Welcome toPX3-989 where it's a palmy room temperature.
Fan out.
Whoa Well, the lights are on,|but there's nobody home.
The technology seems advanced by comparison, to what|we've seen on most of the human-inhabited planets.
Maybe even more advanced then Earth.
Much more.
Well, it feels, older, somehow.
I know how it feels.
This place has seen better days.
At least it doesn't appear|to be of Goa'uld origin.
Teal'c, ever run into|something like this? I have not.
A computer.
Well, that sounds ominous! Fall back.
What the hell? Colonel? - Carter.
|- Whoa How did we get in to these outfits? I don't know.
Welcome to PX3-989! My transmitter's gone.
Daniel? Teal'c.
You guys okay? I am well.
Yeah, I'm fine.
Better then fine actually, when you|consider the fact that we were just Ah! Com-traya! Com-traya! Daniel? I think that's agreeting? Yes, it is.
Oh! Well, thenumcom-traya.
We are explorers from|a place called Earth.
I'm Daniel, Hello.
Oh! This is your custom, yes? Hello? You are the leader? Oh, no, that would be Me! Colonel Jack O'Neill.
"Kumbaya".
Com-traya! Whatever, why did you attack us? Attack? Oh, attack, yes of course, it would|seem that way from your perspective.
Yes, I did that! Why? It could not be helped! Oh!|Are you suffering, any pain? Any aftereffects? Or occasionally|the heart must be restarted.
Oh, no, I think we feel fine.
Ah! Com-traya! You are all|such wonderful specimens! You in particular, female! Colonel.
Easy, Captain.
Listen, we had some|things, when we got here, some weapons.
Oh those, mmm, yes.
Very dangerous.
Very, can we have them back? And our uniforms? Sorry, but they are gone.
- This is better, yes?|- No.
Uh, I am Harlan.
I am the last survivor of, Altar.
Excuse me? The last survive - You are the only one on this planet?|- Yes.
And your weapons are, this way! We are in section 3.
There has been trouble here lately.
- What kind of trouble?|- Mechanical breakdowns.
Very difficult to maintain|this complex alone.
Listen Harlan, is there|an outside to this place? Outside is above.
We are under.
- Under the surface?|- Oh, yes.
On the surface, we could|not survive.
Radiation.
Very, very bad.
This way to section 4! Ah, what happened|to your civilization? I'm sure you started on the|surface and then moved under.
Oh yes, long ago.
Were curious to learn|about other worlds and we'd love to hear what|happened, on the surface.
- All in time.
|- We've got all the time in the world.
Yes, you do.
You|understand? Com-traya! Now, now what is that,|Com-traya, is that like Aloha? Harlan, how long have|you been on your own? Ah, now, let's see.
Wallace was the last one to go.
I miss him.
But you all remind me|a little of Wallace! Except for you of|course, you are, female.
And you are, whatever you are.
Hubald, he was the|creator of all this.
But he died very early, too early.
Took many secrets|with him, so long ago.
How long, exactly? Uh, exactly? Ninety-nine million, two hundred|seven thousand of your hours.
That's 11,000 years.
How did you know that? That's right? Yeah.
- Wait, how did YOU know that? See, everything is better, even your|minds.
You are all much, much better.
- Better then what?|- Do you not feel it? Are you not stronger? Smarter? I think he's right, I feel great! Of course you do, because I have given you a great|gift.
I have made you allbetter! - Better how?|- Oh, I have not hurt you.
I have only made youbetter! Alright, alright,|listen, listen closely.
I'm going to ask you one|more time very simply.
BetterHOW? We're gone, were out of here! Carter, dial us home.
Wait! You You cannot leave! I cannot|leave either.
It is unsafe! What is unsafe, tell us! All in time, there is so|much you must know first.
Youyou will be back! You will! You cannot leave me here all alone! Oh, dear.
Colonel, how do you feel? Never felt better in my life.
It's got me a little worried actually.
Yeah, well this has|got me a little worried.
Listen.
I don't hear anything.
What this is better? I'm dead?!? Look Colonel, to make sense of this,|I'm going to have to do a blood sample.
Oh, God! What the hell is that?|Get that out of me! Look, uh, I'm going to need|x-rays on all of them.
STAT! - What did he do to us?|- I don't know.
Let's everybody stay calm.
I no longer posses a Goa'uld.
- Colonel, what the hell are you doing?!?|- Colonel! - God!|- Dear God.
What is it? Alert! Security to the infirmary! Whoa! Security!|Dr.
Fraiser, it is us.
Just, don't come any closer.
Stand down airmen, just|a little misunderstanding.
- That's an order.
|- Delay that order.
- General that is not Colonel O'Neill.
|- Oh, for crying out loud, General, it's me! Would you call that human blood? I have reason to believe|there all imposters.
He, or whatever he is, has|no detectable heartbeat.
Take them to the holding|room, put a guard outside.
General Hammond.
I don't know what that son of a bitch|on 989 did, but I swear to God - Follow the instructions|- Your wife died of Cancer 4 years ago! And you will not be hurt! Your granddaughters|names are Tesea and Kayla! Any resistance made by any of|you will be met with deadly force! Is that understood? Understood.
Perfectly.
Looks and sounds like are people.
They certainly believe they're SG-1.
It may be another Goa'uld trick.
I don't know what to believe.
He was right about the|names of my grand children.
How else would he have known,|if he isn't Jack O'Neill? Sir, given our history|with the Goa'uld, I believe keeping them here|would be extremely dangerous.
I'll take that under|advisement, Doctor.
It's incredible, it looks|like mine, it feels like mine.
It's mine, I mean I|don't feel any different.
If anything, I feel better! - That's what Harlan said.
|- Well, why didn't he just tell us? Probably afraid we'd damage him.
Perceptive little runt.
You know, Colonel, you can't blame|General Hammond for confining us.
- Hey, I know who I am!|- So do I! In every respect I|feel like Sam Carter But the evidence Harlan must have transferred our|consciousness into these bodies.
Bodies? Did you see the inside of this arm? We're machines, Carter.
Teal'c, are you okay? Why? Well, for starters you've lost your infant Goa'uld.
I still feel it's presence.
Really? That must be like continuing to|feel a limb after it's beenlost.
Oh, for crying out loud, Daniel! I'm glad you're so fascinated by all this,|but it's time for a little reality check, okay? We are being held|prisoner by our own people.
- Well, they can't hold us in here|forever.
I mean - Why not? What do you think is going to happen? You really think military intelligence is|going to let us continue as SG-1 like this? - We still have our rights Jack.
|- What rights are you talking about? Colonel, no matter what he's|done to us, were still Human? Is that what|you were going to say? Harlan said we'd be back.
Now, we know why.
Colonel O'Neill Or whoever you are.
I have decided to send|SG-5 back to PX3-989.
- See if they can shed some light on this.
|- That's a mistake.
- Why? - Because old Harlan will|do to them what he did to us.
Harlan? The indigenous person we|encountered on the other side.
We do believe he transferred|out consciousness into these artificial bodies.
- Why would anyone do that?|- Well, he thought he was doing us a favor.
He thinks this isbetter.
And I never even really thought of it at|the time, but he must be artificial too.
That must explain how he|got to be 11,000 years old.
- What?|- General, I think it's imperative that we go back.
Get Dr.
Fraiser! Yes, sir! General, we've got to go back.
Will send another team|through within the hour! Negative.
Don't risk anymore.
Get this gate open!|- Stand by.
My strength returns.
We ran out of energy.
What? Well, if these bodies are|machines, they need a power source.
It's here.
Com-traya! Here is|where you belong now.
Here is the only place you can be.
You son of a bitch! You nearly waited too long.
|I was worried.
Feel better? Better.
What the|hell did you do to us? - You are angry.
|- Yes.
Give me one good reason why|I shouldn't break you in half.
Colonel, he's the only one who can put our|consciousness back into our real bodies.
Ohno, no, no, I cannot do that.
In time you will see, I have transferred your|consciousness into the synthetic.
Well, transfer us back! Now! Oh, I cannot, it is permanent.
I do not want to hear that! You are damaging me.
I am sorry, but there is|no way to do what you ask.
Your bodies are all gone.
It is all part of the process.
|This is what you are now.
You will see.
It is better.
This way.
Around the corner.
Just a few more steps and home again! You should rest now.
Your internal systems are|not yet fully recharged, and they were allowed|to drain far to low.
Attention, Coolant leak in|secondary coils, Section 2.
Immediate attention is required.
Section 2, you see|now why I needed you.
This place is more then|one man can maintain! Oh, so much to do.
You will see.
You will all feel much better soon.
Oh, this will not take long at all.
Jack, he said we should rest.
We|don't want to run out of energy again.
He's right about this place.
Half of this complex isn't working.
|The rest is marginal I mean.
Look around.
He's been a|jerry-rigging thing's for centuries.
He was desperate.
I say let this place fall down.
To condemn Harlan, would|be to condemn ourselves.
Your point being? What is done is done.
Oh, please! Has it occurred to anyone|that all we are now is robots? - Where are you going?|- I'm going to find Harlan.
- Jack! Don't worry.
It's just to talk.
Robot to robot.
What? Oh, it's nothing.
Umm, this notion of living a 11,000|years entered my mind for a moment and I couldn't it's a lot to take in.
Apparently, we've got time to adjust.
We really do have all the same sensations|and perceptions that we did in our human form.
Well, if you think about it,|the human body is just a machine.
It's a vessel for our|consciousness, I mean.
It's just an organic one.
It performs work requires fuel - It's not the same, Daniel.
|- No, it isn't.
Butmaybe in away Harlan was right.
Maybe in away this isbetter.
I mean we are still us,|we are stillunique.
Every thought, every feeling Have you felt hungry, or|thirsty since this happened? No! Teal'c? You still okay? Where did he go? Probably wants to be|alone.
I don't blame him.
That way.
I do not understand|this obsession of yours.
It's not an obsession! I just want to know what|you did with out bodies.
You have no further use for them.
Oh good, you are exploring.
Yes, good, well there is much to|see, much to learn from the station.
And you are feeling better.
Yes? - No.
Colonel, have you seen Teal'c?|- I left him with you.
Perhaps, he is best left alone.
He isdifferent.
Yes? Yes.
Look Harlan, I want to know why you|did this, why you did all of this.
Our race was facing destruction.
The biosphere of this planet|could no longer support us.
This project was under taken to allow|some of our people to continue to live, even if the planet could not.
Our former bodies, would,|who, never survive this.
How many were there, originally? - A thousand.
|- What happened to them? Oh, there were problems with the|transfer process.
Some were lost.
Secara, Bareeth, Tira, very, very sad.
We could not repair|Hubald, creator of all this! His secrets were lost.
But many survivedfor awhile.
Where are they? Some left through the ring we discovered.
|The ring, which you went through.
They carried along small, more|portable sources with them.
I expected them to|come home, I waited.
This is home, after all.
But theydidn't.
And the rest did not|except the gift, They ended their existence.
How? They walked above the|surface, far from here, outside of the range|of the power source.
Wallace, he was the last one,|he gave his life for the station.
An accident.
And I have been alone since Wallace.
But you are here now, and everything is better now.
Will you hold this for me? Com-traya! Very helpful! We work together well.
There|see? We accomplish things.
So we must remain near|the power source in case it breaks down again.
Without the continuous stream|of energy from the emitter, these bodies could not function|for more then a few hours.
And that is why I knew|you would come back.
Harlan, we want to go home.
No, no, you must|stay, you are friends.
New friends.
Friends? I don't even like you.
Chances|are I will never like you.
Colonel.
If we are ever going|to get home, we need him.
You still do not appreciate the gift? Immortality.
Attention! Coolant leak|in primary energy section.
Very bad, very bad.
- What is it?|- The power source, for us! I spent too much time away|from the station to create you.
Hurry, there's not much time, we must|repair it or else we will alldie.
I thing the thermo compensator|has malfunctioned again.
Ah-ha, tube 18 is lost.
It draw heat in from the|planetary core, must be vented.
The surface wind drives irradiated|acid rain into the ventilation system.
It rusted the valves closed.
- So, what's keeping us going?|- Reserve power.
Like when you went back to|your world Not much time! Has this ever happened before? Not since Wallace was still alive.
That is the reason I created you.
We must work together.
Please help! Alright, I'll help.
Where's Teal'c, we could use him.
It does not matter, he isdifferent.
Okay, so what do we do? I had to shut down most of the vents.
We have to open more and|reroute the ventilation.
There and there.
I will stay here to|operate the computer.
How do we find these|vents, how do we open them? The automatic controls no longer|work and the vent are rusted close.
You will have to open|up the vent shafts, and so it manually.
Search your minds.
It is all there.
I made sure of it.
You have all the|answers you need, now go! Go! Go! Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
This way.
Warning.
Pressure rising to critical levels.
Pressure levels at four Hubald.
Pressure rising to six Hubald units.
Warning! There it is.
- Did you see that?|- Daniel.
Harlan is right, it's|rusted shut, I can feel it.
There, I've got it.
Warning! Pressure|rising to 8 Hubald units! Pressure rising to 10 Hubald units! Override venting steam now.
Not yet, Harlan.
Not yet! Teal'c! Thank God!|Where have you been? Teal'c, what are you doing? Teal'c, what are you doing? Catastrophic coolant|failure is imminent.
Come on.
Teal'c, come on! Teal'c! Teal'c! You have succeeded in venting|sufficient pressure.
Com-traya We did it.
Teal'c don't! Colonel.
- I'm alright.
|- I'm sorry, but your not.
It is only damage, I can repair it.
All will be well, you will|see.
And your friend too.
What Teal'c? - You killed him!|- He was malfunctioning.
How will all be well|with him if he is dead? You will see.
Now the station is repaired, go|back to your quarters and wait.
You will see.
Keep an eye on him! Harlan, open up! No, no, no! Go away! Harlan, What the hell are you doing? - All will be well, please I|- He's making a new synthetic Teal'c.
Please go back to your quarters,|and I will bring him to you when - How is this possible?|- Ah, yes.
there were two minds before, the|creature he carried within.
Two beings.
The two minds could not coexist,|and your friend malfunctioned.
I did not know he was different.
I|will not make that mistake this time.
Answer my question this time.
How can you make a new synthetic|Teal'c, with out the original? Captain Carter stand aside.
Harlan, turn off that machine.
The process is incomplete, I can Turn it off! Now answer the Captains question.
Please, if you destroy me, you will destroy the last survivor of|an entire people, and yourselves too.
I'm going to ask this question once.
Do our bodies, our real bodies exist somewhere? Yes.
Then I want you to put us backnow.
I could not do that,|even if I wanted to.
Why? If you can transfer our|consciousness into these bodies surely you can reverse the process.
No, it is impossible.
Why? I will show you.
My God.
I ment no harm.
I will return them through the ring as soon as|I am certain you had accepted your transference.
Except it's not really|a transference, is it? From one to the other - We're copies.
|- Yes.
As good as the original.
Better even.
If you had not been so insistent|you would have never seen each other.
Once I knew the transference was|successful.
I had intended to send your organic selves,|back to your world, their world.
They would never have|known of your existence.
And in time would hope that|you would have excepted yours.
We can never go back.
No, you belong here.
You are welcome here.
Teal'c.
Captain Carter.
Colonel, he's alright.
That's great, Captain.
Daniel? Aah sort of.
Here, let me get that.
- Harlan, where have you been?|- Extremely busy.
I can see that, doing what? Oh, ah, creating your synthetic|others.
Saving the planet.
Busy, busy.
Synthetic? Yes.
I am sorry for restraining|you for so long.
I am afraid my plan has|failed rather miserably.
But as I promised, you are free to go.
This is impossible.
It's true.
At first we did not even|know we had been changed.
Recreating the neural structure on I know! It defies the|uncertainty principle.
We are identical, - right down to the mole on our|- Shut up.
- Was not a copy made of me?|- Oh, yes.
But I had to disintegrate you.
I see.
You get it, you just don't like it.
Ah, well I think in time our separate|experiences will make us different.
Ah, well Listen, I'm not too happy|about this either you know.
You think you know how I feel? Well, yeah.
Were basically the same guy aren't we? Ah, have a look.
- Oh, sorry.
|- Yeah.
So, um, what the hell happened here? Somebody stole my life.
- That's what happened.
|- You talking about my life? Hey, I've got every|right to it that you do.
I was kind of hoping I could|figure out away to undo all this, get myself back into|my body, where I belong.
Well it's occupied, thank you.
I noticed that.
What does that make me? What do you want? Well, there all debating the|meaning of life out there.
Both Daniels think|this is all festinating.
The Carters are arguing already.
Teal'c feels left out.
You and I have go a few|things to talk about.
I'm not going to give you a hard time about|who gets to go back, if that's what you mean.
Thank you.
It has nothing to do with|generosity, believe me.
I can't go back.
If I could it might|be a different story.
Yeah, well there is, a little issue of security.
You know everything|I know about Earth codes, defenses.
We'll bury the gate.
Don't worry.
And don't even think about|sending a bomb to make sure.
- I wasn't.
|- Yes, you were.
I know you.
Alright, alright.
You have my word, Colonel.
Call me Jack.
Colonel O'Neill? Oh, for crying out loud.
I'll handle this.
Ah, there you are.
I|was worried about you.
Where is the other one? He is getting ready to go home.
Yea, all for the best.
I hope|in time you will forgive me.
You were just trying to survive.
Yes, and we will! All will be well, you will see! Harlan, people are not|supposed to live forever.
Maybe not.
But if you try just a few hundred years,|perhaps you might change your mind.
Yes? So don't forget to bury|the gate when we're gone.
Like that's something I would forget.
Well see ya.
And uh, you should have|that looked at, it's Have a good life.
See ya.
