Stargate SG-1 s06e15 Episode Script

Paradise Lost

Previously on "Stargate SG-1"; Colonel Maybourne, sir, NID.
General Hammond, request permission to beat the crap out of him.
I'm not gonna hit you, Maybourne.
I'm gonna shoot you.
Why didn't you try to escape when you were with me? Come on, Jack.
You trusted me.
You rat bastard - Hey, take it easy.
- I'm so gonna kick your ass Gonna turn me in? Actually, that overwhelming desire to shoot you has come back.
I helped myself.
I hope you don't mind.
You're eating my dog.
You want it back? Would you like a beer to wash it down? Already got one.
What are you doing here? I can't drop by a friend's house for a barbecue? Well, there's that little treason thing.
Have me arrested.
That's why I'm here.
This is gonna be good, isn't it? The administration is coming to the end of its second term.
I was hoping the president might consider one of those special pardons they do when one doesn't care about re-election any more.
Really good.
- I heard what happened with Prometheus.
- What are you talking about? - Nice delivery.
- Yeah, I gotta work on that a little.
Simmons used the Goa'uld in Adrian Conrad to hijack the X-303.
He intended to fly to a planet with a cache of alien weaponry.
I was really broken up when I heard Simmons died.
Yeah, we all shed a tear.
What you don't know is the planet Simmons was intending to fly to has a Stargate.
- Simmons knew? - Sure.
It proved easier to grab the X-303 than take and hold the SGC just to use the gate.
Oh, the NID's known about this planet for a while.
I don't have to explain why they didn't tell you.
Instead, they're hoarding a secret that could save the planet.
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.
A presidential pardon.
This is the full-price package, Jack.
I wanna go with you on this one.
You must have had a few.
Look, I know you've questioned my methods in the past, but we were fighting for the same thing.
I just wanna help make the world safe from the Goa'uld.
- Nice delivery.
- Well thanks for the beer.
- Nothing I like more than a good wiener.
- Yes, you are what you eat.
Guess I won't be needing this any more.
What is it? The address to the planet with the Ancient weapons.
For God's sake - Won't do you much good without me.
- Why not? Simmons also didn't know that there's an impenetrable doorway protecting the weapons storage facility.
And I have the key.
Did he say how he came across this key? Nope.
It's doubtful the Pentagon would authorise Maybourne's presence on a mission.
Should we not explore the planet to which he provided the address? He did risk his butt just to make the proposition.
Maybe we can get through without him.
If Maybourne thinks it's worth a pardon, what's on the other side must be good.
Do it.
There's nobody home.
Are you able to translate any of this? It's not Ancient, but it's a language of one of the races of the Ancient Alliance.
- Nox? Asgard? - Furlings.
Oh, no Not those guys.
- Why? - Oh, I don't know.
I just can't imagine cute little furry things making big powerful weapons, that's all.
I don't even know what they look like.
"Furling" - sounds cute and fuzzy to me.
This section says something like "Only the righteous may pass.
" This looks like where Maybourne's key would go.
I'm getting energy readings.
There's a power source in this arch.
Here.
Sir.
This is definitely something.
- What? - I don't recognise the technology.
But can you make it work? 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.
What do you recommend? - Jack.
- Harry.
I'm trusting you.
You turned yourself in.
What happens from here on out is up to you.
You can remove the cuffs, Airman.
General.
Nice to see you again.
Despite your prior transgressions, you've been willing to help us out recently.
That is why the president is willing to proceed in this matter.
You're welcome.
Let's see what you've brought.
- When do we leave? - I leave right now.
- We'll let you know how it turns out.
- Jack I thought I was pretty clear.
I go with you, or no deal.
Harry, you're under arrest.
I've got the stone and I'm walkin' out that door.
You're not in a strong bargaining position.
The mission will only be successful if I'm on it.
That stone is useless without the combination.
How's that? It was originally found over 80 years ago in a pharaoh's tomb in Egypt.
It was wrapped in a scroll with writing on it that no linguist could decipher.
I was recently able to get it translated, though.
By whom? It 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 wanna go through the door, I'm gonna be the one who opens it.
There's gotta be more going on here than he admits to.
Of that I have no doubt, sir.
But if he's not willing to tell us, we can't force him.
As much as I'd like to try.
Now this is more like it.
Shall we? Yes? You know the real reason I wanna do this? I've never actually been through this thing before.
Really? I ran the offworld operation from Earth, using a Goa'uld communicator.
- Nervous? - Me? No.
I'm just taking a moment.
- Done? - Yeah.
Good.
- Carter.
- Colonels.
- Major.
- Jonas? He finished cataloguing the writing and went to do a sweep with Teal'c.
- He translated everything? - He needs some reference from the SGC.
- He says it'll take a while.
- Harry.
Right.
- What? - I'm sure I got it right.
Harry It should have worked.
Let me take a look.
God Harry - You rotten no-good-for-nothin' - Jack - You son of - Jack Major Carter What happened? - Where the hell are we? - Dammit, why'd you have to do that? - Where's the zat? - I don't know.
I don't have it.
- Where is it? - It's not here - I guess it didn't come through with us.
- Why not? How should I know? Maybe the doorway filters out weapons.
- Goa'uld weapons.
- You listen to me.
I want a straight answer from you.
Since you're here I might as well just show ya.
- Hey.
- Come on I'm getting nowhere here.
Jonas, head back to the SGC.
Ask General Hammond to send up a UAV.
If O'Neill has activated his tracking device, we should be able to pinpoint his location.
- You couldn't just let me go.
- You shot me.
Zatted.
- I'm not goin' back, you know.
- Where? Anywhere.
To the Stargate or Earth.
- What are you talkin' about? - Maybe they got a way to send you back.
No one's supposed to leave.
That's part of the deal.
- Who are you talkin' about? - The people at the place we're going.
Have you lost your mind? If you're suffering, I'll put you out of your misery.
It's an alien Utopia.
According to the scroll, it's supposed to be paradise.
What? A long time ago some people from an advanced alien society they chucked it all and they formed this isolated Utopian community.
They met and evaluated people from all over the galaxy and offered them a chance to join 'em.
The scroll and the stone were the invitation.
And this is nothing to do with the weapon Simmons was after? I figured it was my only way of getting through the gate.
You know, Harry, it's not that I can't believe you lied to me again, it's that you lied to me again Come on.
No one would have let me through the gate for this.
- Would you have even believed me? - You're sure this is all worth it? Couldn't be much worse than where I've been hiding lately.
They're closing in on me.
Besides, I got nothin' left on Earth any more.
The money I was to get from selling the Russian symbiote to Adrian Conrad was my last shot at making a life on Earth.
Do something good.
It turned into a disaster.
Of massive proportion.
I'm tired of runnin'.
Why should I when I can have a chance of retiring in paradise? I see trees, Harry.
You get that in Colorado.
Ready for launch, sir.
Thank you, Sergeant.
Still nothing from Colonel O'Neill and Colonel Maybourne, sir.
They've been gone over two hours now.
We're ready to go.
- Sir, I'd like to apologise.
- What for? I allowed Colonel Maybourne to take my weapon.
Major, let's just focus on finding them right now.
Yes, sir.
- You are so lost.
- No.
I'm sure this is the right way.
- How's that? - It's in this valley.
What's strange is there's no greeting party.
That's all that's strange about this They're supposed to know when someone uses the gate.
I was expecting a welcome.
- Mai tais, leis.
- Well, something.
Cabana boys.
I tell ya, Maybourne, I don't hear any steel dru ms.
How old was that invitation? There's no one here I noticed that.
Harry? This in the brochure? This technology's unlike anything we've come across.
- I know.
- We've no reference, no way to interface.
I'm working on it, Doctor.
As you should be.
Right.
I guess I can see why you'd wanna retire here.
Given your choices.
Find anything that might be a doorway back? No.
Are you gonna kill me? I'll sleep on it.
I don't think we're walkin' outta here.
No way of knowin' how far we were transported.
We could be on the other side of the planet.
Which is why we survive here until we're rescued.
Until we're rescued Jack This place is supposed to be a secret.
The doorway was designed to keep it that way.
Of course, we have the only key known to man.
The least you could have done is eat that before you got here.
We're gonna need food and drinkable water.
- I've been drinkin' the lake straight up.
- That's smart.
- I'm not dead yet.
- It's early.
Jack they're never gonna find us.
I covered as much territory as the UAV's range allows.
Have you received word from the Tok'ra? Yeah.
They didn't know when one of their operatives would be able to help us.
- What are they doing? - They have completed their analyses.
Excuse me Where's Colonel O'Neill? I don't see him, do you? Did you guys find him while I was gone? We've been here for a week.
We could all spend the rest of our natural lives trying to figure out how this thing works.
But you know what? Even if I could snap my fingers and turn it on, I doubt whether it would determine where it sent Colonel O'Neill.
I'd bet anything that the targeting data is in the artefact that Colonel Maybourne used to open that doorway.
I say when we're done here 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.
But until then, if you'll excuse me Anything? A couple of nibbles.
They're down there, though.
- Sleep OK? - No.
You? When we first came here I thought it was quiet.
Now it's like I can't keep the noise out.
Insects, animals I keep hearing things.
- They're called birds.
- No, no, no, these are weird sounds.
We're on an alien planet.
Yeah Jack, I can't live on this stuff.
Tastes like arugula.
- I hate arugula - Don't eat it.
We have to eat.
If you keep standing there, yakkin' away, I'm not gonna catch anything.
What was that? That is just wrong on so many levels.
Don't ever do that again.
You're sayin' you don't hear things? No.
Last night I swear I heard someone runnin' around out here.
I spent an hour wanderin' around, tryin' to spot 'em.
- Animals.
- No tracks.
You're losin' your mind.
You don't find things spooky around here? Made so only by your presence.
Yeah, well I'm beginning to wonder if some of the Utopians might still be alive.
- There's no evidence of that.
- Maybe they're here in another way.
All right, now you are gettin' spooky.
Come on, Jack, you've seen stranger things.
Other dimensions, planes of existence.
You said it yourself, this is an alien planet.
- So what do you want me to do? - Give me your nine mil.
- No.
- Come on You got the P-90.
You sleep with it beside you - I just wanna be able to protect myself.
- Forget it.
Jack I want that gun.
Forget it You don't like it here, deal with it It's your own damn fault.
- You wouldn't care if I died, would ya? - What? Some alien creature comes in and attacks me in the night, hauls me out while you're sleeping You and I are the only ones here.
Trust me, the only thing you have to be afraid of around here is me.
Yeah A satellite capable of pinpointing O'Neill's tracking device can cover a greater range.
The Tok'ra could retrieve it later, so the actual cost would be minimal.
- Compared to what? - To not getting the satellite back.
What about the delivery system, and the manpower required to get it through the gate and then reassemble it? Sir, I don't think you can place a value on Colonel O'Neill's life.
- No, but - Unscheduled offworld activation.
We'll continue this later.
We're receiving a transmission.
Audio only.
This is Jalrow of the Tok'ra.
To whom am I speaking? General Hammond.
Major Carter, Teal'c and Jonas Quinn are also here.
Major, I received your message regarding Colonel O'Neill.
Do you have a ship that can scan a planet? Yes.
I've already taken the opportunity to fly over the planet in question.
There were no detectable human life signs.
- Are you sure? - Quite sure.
I'm very sorry.
Thank you.
Hammond out.
Jalrow out.
Maybourne Major Carter.
This is the women's locker room.
It appears there is no one else here but you, and you are fully clothed.
True.
Are you all right, Major Carter? I'm fine, yeah.
Have you given up hope of finding O'Neill? Hope? No.
But 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 Argh Argh God Argh You shot me I didn't know you were there.
Stay back Put that down.
- You wanted to kill me from the start.
- Screw you, Maybourne I was joking.
- Look what you did to my leg - I set the trap for the pig.
With a grenade? Where are you goin'? Harry I found somethin'.
Stop eatin' that plant.
It's messin' with your head, Harry.
Screw you.
Argh General Hammond says he's considering new SG-1 leaders.
You included, Major.
We know.
Do you have anything? Yeah.
Yeah, I was finally able to come up with some photos of that artefact that Maybourne got his hands on.
It's quite old, making the scroll a bit difficult to read.
I'm pretty sure that the markings on the stone are just decoration, but Teal'c, wind back that tape.
- Stop.
There.
- That was the first day we were there.
It was invisible after that.
I forgot it was even there.
- What? - 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 on the planet, but they've been sent to that moon.
How do you know that? The big circle is the planet.
The little circle is the moon.
The line between them is the path of transportation.
Hey Hey It was a Goa'uld He couldn't bring a weapon through that door, so he 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 messin' with your head.
I'm not tryin' to kill you.
Drop it.
Drop it now or I will shoot you.
I'm not tryin' to kill ya, Harry.
You're losing a lot of blood.
If I don't do something right now, you're gonna die.
Some retirement this turned out to be.
How're ya doin'? My head's a little clearer.
How long have I been out? I don't know.
A day or so.
I really screwed up, didn't I? It's not your fault.
None of the people here could stop themselves.
Right from the beginning.
Sorry, Jack.
I never should have dragged you into this.
Yes, Harry, you've been a very bad boy.
Hey, don't you die on me now.
What difference will it make? Because we're about to be rescued.
- Oh, that's nice.
- Isn't it? I can't go back.
I'd rather die here than spend the rest of my life in jail.
Yeah, um I've been givin' that some thought.
I think you suffered enough.
- Hell, I even got to shoot ya.
- Twice.
I think the Tok'ra should be able to find a nice planet for you.
Thanks, Jack.
Sure, Harry.
Sure.
