#813 : Une Vieille Connaissance

 

La guerre entre les Goa'uld pousse certains d'entre eux à se réfugier sur les planètes isolées. Malheureusement, celle choisie par le Grand-Maître Ares est aussi celle où la Tok'ra a déposé Harry Maybourne, devenu roi de la contrée en utilisant le savoir des anciens. Connaissances qui lui ont notamment donné accès à la technologie pour voyager dans le temps. SG1 est chargé de le rapatrier.

813/ Une vieille connaissance

En salle de réunion, Carter expose la situation concernant le conflit entre les Goa’ulds. Selon la Tok’ra, certains Seigneurs cherchent à se réfugier sur des anciens mondes qu’ils dominaient. Daniel explique alors à Jack qu’Aries compte se rendre sur la planète où les Tok’ras ont déposé Maybourne il y a deux ans (cf. « Paradis Perdu »). Jack est plutôt réticent, mais il accepte que Sg-1 parte le chercher.

Une fois de l’autre côté de la Porte, l’équipe est froidement accueillie par des chasseurs. Ils décident de les amener rencontrer le roi Arkon au village. Une fois sur place, l’équipe découvre que ce roi n’est autre que Harry Maybourne. Il les invite à manger, mais Sam lui explique la gravité de la situation, mais Harry est déjà au courant. Il leur explique alors qu’il peut connaître le futur, mais l’équipe reste perplexe. Une femme, Garen, explique alors que tous les évènements font partie de la prophétie.

Après quelques minutes de marche, Harry et Sg-1 arrivent dans des ruines. Daniel découvre que les inscriptions sur les colonnes sont en Ancien. Maybourne leur montre une autre colonne sur laquelle est inscrit selon lui des évènements futurs. Il explique que grâce à ceci il a pu sauver le village des inondations. Daniel traduit une portion du mur décrivant l’arrivée des Goa’ulds ainsi que celle de voyageurs qui vaincront le mal et instaureront la paix.

De retour au village, Sam est contactée par Daniel. Ce dernier confirme les propos de Maybourne. Il explique qu’un appareil temporel est caché dans un vaisseau.

Les membres de l’équipe décident de se séparer afin de retrouver ce vaisseau. Alors que Carter décide d’annuler les recherches, Teal’c parvient à trouver l’engin.

Une fois réunie, Sg-1 pénètre dans le vaisseau (un Puddle Jumper). Au fur et à mesure de leur progression, le vaisseau s’illumine. Ils trouvent l’appareil temporel, mais Sam préfère ne rien toucher. Elle décide de le ramener sur Terre, mais seul une personne proche des Anciens peut l’utiliser.

O’Neill arrive donc sur cette planète. Harry lui réserve un chaleureux accueil. Jack ne croit pas à ces histoires de prophétie et préfère que Maybourne parle à son peuple pour le convaincre de fuir.

O’Neill arrive enfin au vaisseau Ancien. Il s’assoit au poste de pilotage et essaye de faire marcher l’appareil, en vain. Mais en suivant les conseils du Dr Jackson, il parvient allumer les systèmes de l’appareil temporairement.

Au village, Teal’c demande quand est-ce que Maybourne va se décider à parler aux villageois. Mais Garen a entendu leur conversation.

Dans le Puddle Jumper, Carter dérive un système afin de fournir de l’énergie à l’engin. Jack se concentre mais hélas l’appareil ne marche toujours pas. Une fois hors de l’appareil, Jack décide de le faire sauter pour éviter que les Goa’ulds ne s’emparent de cette technologie. C’est alors qu’une troupe de villageois menée par Garen les encerclent et les menacent avec leurs armes. L’équipe explique alors que Maybourne n’est pas un prophète.

De retour au village, Jack a une discussion avec Harry. Ce dernier lui confie qu’il tient à ces gens et qu’il va annoncer aux anciens du village qu’ils doivent quitter cette planète.

Quelques temps après, Harry s’adresse à son peuple. Il leur explique la situation, mais les villageois se rattachent à la prophétie. Harry se retrouve face à ses responsabilités et il leur dit la vérité sur sa nature. Mais Garen prend alors sa défense et mobilise les villageois derrière leur roi.

Une fois le discours terminé, Harry s’excuse auprès de Jack, mais ce dernier ne veut rien savoir et décide de retourner sur Terre avec le vaisseau.

Alors qu’ils se dirigent vers la Porte, Daniel et Teal’c voient des Jaffas la franchir. Ils préviennent aussitôt O’Neill.

Les Jaffas arrivent au village. Harry les accueille mais Tral’ak, le prima d’Aries, qui vient réclamer les terres de son maître. Harry accepte de se soumettre. Une villageoise résiste et parle de la prophétie. Elle lui révèle alors où on peut la lire.

Dans le vaisseau, Daniel prévient aussitôt Sam et Jack de la situation.

Au village, Maybourne essaie de sympathiser avec les Jaffas. Mais Tral’ak refuse et explique qu’ils doivent tous se soumettre. Maybourne lui propose alors son aide pour les manipuler.

Les Jaffas et leur prisonnière arrive aux ruines. L’un d’eux lit la colonne et il ordonne aux autres d’inspecter les alentours. Jack assiste à la scène et prévient aussitôt Carter. Jack décide de faire diversion et tue plusieurs Jaffas.

Au village, les Jaffas découvrent Daniel et Teal’c. Tral’ak leur annonce qu’Aries vient juste d’arriver.

De son côté, Jack rejoint le vaisseau.

Dans l’espace, le vaisseau du Goa’uld arrive en orbite.

De son côté, Jack se concentre pour faire voler le Puddle Jumper.

Au village, le prima d’Aries menace Teal’c et le frappe avec une lance.

Dans le vaisseau, Jack fait de son mieux et il parvient à faire décoller l’engin. Et il se dirige vers l’espace. Pendant ce temps, un combat s’est ouvert au village. Après quelques échanges musclés, Daniel et Teal’c parviennent à prendre le dessus.

De son côté, Jack se dirige vers le vaisseau en évitant les tirs. Jack ouvre le feu et parvient à faire exploser l’engin ennemi.

De retour sur la planète, Harry les remercie pour ce qu’ils ont fait puis l’équipe retourne sur Terre.

SGC. BRIEFING ROOM. Jack and SG-1 are there.
CARTER: The war between Ba'al and the System Lords has reached a
critical stage. According to Tok'Ra intelligence, Bastet and Olukun
are dead, Morrigan has capitulated, and Lord Yu and Amateratsu are
rallying their armies for what will probably be their last stand.
TEAL'C: As we predicted, the Jaffa were no match for the Kull
warriors.
CARTER: The Tok'Ra also thought we should know, in the face of
imminent defeat, some of the System Lords are actively seeking out
areas of refuge. Planets they abandoned long ago are now being
scouted as possible sanctuaries.
O'NEILL: And this affects us how?
DANIEL: One of these planets which used to fall under the domain of
the System Lord Ares also happens to be the place where the Tok'Ra
dropped off one Harry Maybourne two years ago.
O'NEILL: And *this* affects us how?
CARTER: The Tok'Ra have their hands full with more pressing matters.
They strongly suggest we get to Maybourne before the Goa'uld do.
TEAL'C: If we do not retrieve him, Harry Maybourne faces certain
capture. (Jack looks at him as if he really couldn't care, but
Teal'c presses the point.) Torture, interrogation – perhaps even
death.
(Jack pauses for a moment, then grimaces.)
O'NEILL: Alright, fine. Go get him.
CARTER: Yes, sir.

WORMHOLE TRAVEL.

PLANET. SG-1 step through the Stargate onto yet another green and
wooded planet.
CARTER: According to the Tok'Ra the people of this world are fairly
primitive.
DANIEL: No phones, no lights, no motorcars. I bet you Maybourne just
jumps at the chance to leave.
TEAL'C: What of the other inhabitants?
CARTER: We'll relocate them. We may not have a lot of time – Ares
could be here in a matter of days.
(Suddenly a group of people rise up from the tall grass, aiming
crossbows at SG-1. As the team raise their weapons and look around,
they realise that they are surrounded.)
CARTER: We don't mean you any harm.
TEAL'C: We are allies of the Tok'Ra.
DANIEL: We're just, uh, looking for a friend of ours – Harry
Maybourne. Maybe you've heard of him? Shifty fella, beady eyes? No?
(A woman speaks.)
GERRAN: You will follow us to the village and meet with King Arkhan.
He will discern your true intentions.

LATER. The team have been escorted to a village.
DANIEL: Not exactly the trusting type.
TEAL'C: Which leads me to wonder whether Harry Maybourne is still
alive.
CARTER: Presumably the Tok'Ra put in a good word for him.
DANIEL: Maybe we should get them to do the same for us!
(The team are led through the village to an area where several women
are tending to a man sitting on a stone throne. One is fanning him
while another stands in front of him, blocking the team's view of
him. As she moves away, we see that she has just put what looks like
a strawberry into his mouth. His eyes are closed in ecstasy. He is
dressed in a fur robe and is wearing a wide band – obviously some
sort of crown – around his head. Immediately, the team realise who
the man is.)
CARTER: Maybourne!
(Harry opens his eyes, stares at the team in amazement, and swallows
the strawberry quickly.)
GERRAN: This is King Arkhan. My Lord, our hunting party encountered
these offworlders by the Gate.
MAYBOURNE: Hey, guys! Long time no see! (He laughs.)

OPENING CREDITS. RESUME. Harry is still chuckling.
MAYBOURNE: I should have known. I should have known you'd be the
ones to come.
DANIEL: You were expecting us?
MAYBOURNE: Well, sort of. Where's Jack?
CARTER: General O'Neill's back at the SGC.
MAYBOURNE: No kidding. "General O'Neill"? (He grimaces.) That
doesn't sound right. Still, good for Jack. Nice to hear he's doing
so well for himself.
TEAL'C: As, evidently, are you.
(Harry looks down at his fur robe.)
MAYBOURNE: Uh, this. Yes, well, uh, it's a long story. (He stands
and calls out to the villagers while tossing his robe off.) Food,
drinks for our guests!
(The villagers move to comply. Harry leads SG-1 away from the
throne.)
CARTER: We don't have time for this!
(They reach a long table where villagers are starting to bring food.
Harry picks up one of the fruits.)
MAYBOURNE: Uh, you should try one of these. It's called, um ...
GERRAN: Ojun fruit.
MAYBOURNE: Right. It's sort of a cross between a guava and a mango.
DANIEL: Sort of a guango?!
MAYBOURNE: I like that! (He stands on the bench and calls out to the
villagers.) People! Henceforth ojun fruit shall be called guango!
So shall it be! (The villagers cheer and applaud. Harry gets down
from the bench and turns to Sam.) I get to name all kinds of stuff.
You should see the Grateful Dead Burial Ground!
CARTER: Maybourne, you have to get out of here. You're in danger.
MAYBOURNE: I know. The Goa'uld are coming. (He turns his attention
back to the `guango'.) Now, you should peel it before you eat it. I
find the skin kind of tart.
CARTER: You know about the Goa'uld?
MAYBOURNE: Oh yeah.
TEAL'C: You were warned by the Tok'Ra.
MAYBOURNE: I haven't heard from the Tok'Ra since they dropped me off.
CARTER: Then how?
MAYBOURNE: I can read the future. (Having peeled the guango, he
bites into it and makes an appreciative sound. He notices that SG-1
are staring at him in light of the statement he just made.) Really!
CARTER: What are you trying to pull?
GERRAN: He speaks the truth. King Arkhan is a prophet. He foresaw
your arrival and the hand you will play in defeating our enemy.
MAYBOURNE: Gerran's right. It's all part of the prophecy!
(Sam leans down to speak quietly to Harry.)
CARTER: Maybourne, what the hell is going on here?
(Harry looks at her, then stands up.)
MAYBOURNE: Let's go for a walk.

LATER. Harry has brought the team to the ruined remains of a temple
in a large clearing in the woods.
MAYBOURNE: OK. Here we are. I found this place about, oh, uh, ten
months ago when I was on an, uh, afternoon stroll.
TEAL'C: It is quite a distance from the village.
MAYBOURNE: I enjoy long walks.
CARTER: Right! Long walks, rainy nights, and candlelit dinners. Why
are we here, Maybourne?
(Daniel has already spotted the reason. There is a tall square
column with writing carved into it.)
DANIEL: This writing is in Ancient. What do the locals know about
these ruins?
MAYBOURNE: Well, not much. They generally avoid the area because
it's close to the naqahdah mines – the site of their former
enslavement. Bad luck, an' all.
DANIEL (still looking at the column): This is incredible.
MAYBOURNE: No, no, this is, uh, interesting. *This* (he gestures for
Daniel to look at another square column) is incredible.
(They all walk over to the second column.)
TEAL'C: What is it?
MAYBOURNE: It's a record of the planet's history, covering major
events. Only some of them haven't happened yet.
CARTER: What are you talking about?
MAYBOURNE: They have a complicated lunar calendar. It took me a
while to figure it out, but once I did I realised there were
references in the text to things that are gonna happen in the
future. (Sam and Teal'c look at him suspiciously.) Yeah, I know –
it sounds crazy. I didn't think much of it either at the time, but
then this big meteor shower happened exactly on the date the stone
predicted.
CARTER: You're sure you're reading it correctly?
MAYBOURNE: My skills may not compare with Doctor Jackson's but over
the years I've picked up a decent understanding of Ancient writing.
As a result of my translations, I predicted a major flood would
destroy the village unless I could convince the elders to move to
higher ground.
CARTER (sarcastically): And of *course* you told them where these
predictions came from.
MAYBOURNE: No. Well, not in so many words. (Sam rolls her eyes.)
Look, these are simple people. (He gestures at the column.) This
stuff would mean nothing to them. I had to play the role of a
prophet to – to convince them.
TEAL'C: And out of gratitude they made you king.
MAYBOURNE: Like I said, it was their idea.
(All through the preceding conversation, Daniel has been looking at
the writing on the column.)
DANIEL: Well, he's partly right, anyway. It *is* a historical log.
(He reads some of the writing aloud.) "On the first moon of the
forty-fifth cycle, the ground will tremble and devastation will be
wrought."
MAYBOURNE: Yeah, yeah, yeah, big earthquake, couple of years back –
before my time. (He points to another side of the column.) Skip
ahead – we're on the fifty-fourth cycle.
(Daniel moves round the column and starts to read again.)
DANIEL: "Commencing the third moon of the fifty-fourth cycle ..."
MAYBOURNE: Which is around now, give or take a few days.
DANIEL: "... the oppressors of old will return ..."
MAYBOURNE: That's the Goa'uld.
DANIEL: "... to seek dominion over the land. Those of a distant
world will come ..."
MAYBOURNE: I'm guessing that's you guys.
DANIEL: "... to vanquish the evil and restore order once again."
MAYBOURNE: You see? They come, you defeat them, happy ending!
That's the prophecy!
CARTER: Sorry, but we didn't come here to fight the Goa'uld. We
should get going.
DANIEL: Actually, um, this is interesting, and, uh, there's a lot
here to translate.

VILLAGE. Sam and Teal'c have returned to the village. Daniel
contacts Sam over the radio.
DANIEL (over radio): Sam?
CARTER (into radio): Go ahead.
(Daniel is still at the temple.)
DANIEL: Maybourne was right.
CARTER: What do you mean?
DANIEL: Well, from what I've been able to decipher, it's pretty
clear. The script on these walls is a historical log compiled by an
Ancient who travelled through time to study the evolution of life on
this world.
CARTER: Daniel, we know the Ancients experimented with time travel
but we have no evidence that they actually mastered it.
DANIEL: Yeah, well, we do now. You see, to the best of my knowledge,
these writings are only a couple of hundred years old, which means
they were carved after the Goa'uld had already left.
CARTER: But the Ancients pre-date the Goa'uld.
DANIEL: Right, so the only logical explanation is that an Ancient
travelled to the future and then back to a time not too long ago.
CARTER: I dunno, Daniel.
DANIEL: There are references to the time travel device itself. Now,
it's described as being inside a small ship. Now if I'm right, it
may still be here. I think it's worth a look.
CARTER: Alright. We're on our way.

LATER. Sam, Teal'c and Daniel are separately searching the woods.
Teal'c is in deep woodland; Daniel is in a dried-up riverbed. Sam
contacts Daniel.
CARTER (over radio): Daniel?
DANIEL (into radio): Go ahead.
CARTER: We've been at it a while – are you sure it's around here?
DANIEL: Just give it a little more time.
CARTER: I hate to say it, Daniel, but we can't risk staying much
longer.
(Daniel doesn't reply, and the three of them continue searching.
Teal'c sees something in the distance, illuminated by the sun shining
off it. Elsewhere, Sam looks at her watch, then activates her radio
again.)
CARTER: I'm scrubbing the search. Fall back to the Gate.
DANIEL: Sam?
CARTER: Daniel, we have no way of knowing when the Goa'uld will get
here.
DANIEL: It could be days.
CARTER: And it could be hours.
(Teal'c has reached the object and clears branches and leaves off
it. It seems to be a small ship.)
TEAL'C (into radio): Colonel Carter, Daniel Jackson. I have found
something.

SHORTLY AFTERWARDS. Sam and Daniel have joined Teal'c and have
discovered how to open the rear hatch of the ship. As they
cautiously walk inside, the lights at the rear of the ship come on
automatically. As the team walk forward, more lights come on.
[Viewers of "Stargate Atlantis" will immediately recognise that the
ship is a Puddlejumper but for those who don't watch "Atlantis", this
isn't important.] Daniel stops at a large device in the middle of
the ship while Sam and Teal'c move to the front, more lights coming
on as they approach.
CARTER: It certainly looks like a ship.
TEAL'C (looking at the control panel): These appear to be flight
controls.
DANIEL (still looking at the device further back): So what's this?
CARTER: Could be the time device. (She and Teal'c go back to join
Daniel.)
TEAL'C: It bears little resemblance to Ancient designs we have
previously encountered.
DANIEL: Well, judging from Maybourne's wall, it must have worked at
some point.
CARTER: Well, I'm guessing it must manifest some sort of energy field
that encompasses the entire ship, allowing the traveller to literally
fly through time.
DANIEL: I wonder ... (He reaches out to touch the device but Sam
stops him.)
CARTER: Ah! Let's not touch anything just yet. I'm kinda fond of
this era.
DANIEL: OK, so what do we do?
CARTER: We'll bring it back. Judging by the dimensions, it looks
like it was actually designed to fit through the Gate.
DANIEL: OK, how do we get it there?
TEAL'C: This vessel appears to be relatively undamaged. The engine
may yet be functional.
CARTER: This *is* Ancient technology. We'd need an *Ancient* to make
it work.
DANIEL: Or someone *close*.
(Sam smiles.)

OFFWORLD STARGATE. Jack steps through the Gate. Waiting near the
bottom of the steps are Daniel, Teal'c, Harry and a group of his
villagers. Harry gestures to his people and some of them start to
play instruments, playing a jolly, medieval-sounding melody. Jack
walks down the steps.
MAYBOURNE: Jack! It's great to see you. How long's it been?
O'NEILL: Oh, since that time you got us stranded offworld and tried
to kill me.
(Harry chuckles.)
MAYBOURNE: That takes me back! I guess congratulations are in
order. You made general.
O'NEILL: You made king!
MAYBOURNE: Right, well, it's not a contest.
O'NEILL (gesturing to the musicians): Do you mind? These guys are
torturing that ditty.
MAYBOURNE: Right. (To the musicians) Take five, guys! (They stop
playing. He turns back to Jack.) I, uh, taught `em that
expression.
O'NEILL: Ah.
(They start to walk towards the village.)
MAYBOURNE: I'm, uh, hoping that you can stay for a while, check out
the sights, (Jack's already doing just that, turning round to look at
a pretty young woman) take in the culture. I want you to feel at
home here.
O'NEILL: Harry, you're aware of the fact that this place is gonna be
overrun by a gaggle of bad guys soon?
MAYBOURNE: Yeah, well, maybe.
O'NEILL: Right! Carter told me about this prophecy stuff. It's not
gonna go down that way, y'know.
MAYBOURNE: Oh, come on, Jack, you've defeated System Lords before.
O'NEILL: No! You've got to tell these people they've gotta start
packing. We'll take as many as we can.
MAYBOURNE: I can't. I already told them you'd save the day.
(Jack stops walking and puts his hand on Harry's shoulder.)
O'NEILL: Lemme ask you a question. (Harry, realising that his people
are disturbed by Jack touching him, raises his hand placatingly to
them.) Did this prophecy mention anything about casualties – how
many people would die in the fighting?
MAYBOURNE: It's not really that detailed.
O'NEILL: Does it say anything about the *king* surviving at all?
MAYBOURNE: Actually, there's, um, no reference to me specifically. I
just assumed ...
O'NEILL: Yeah. D'you really wanna take that chance, Harry? D'you
wanna roll those dice?
(Harry looks round at his people standing some distance away.)
MAYBOURNE (quietly): It's not gonna be easy to convince them, Jack.
O'NEILL: You can *do* it, Harry, you're the king. (He puts his hand
on Harry's shoulder again.) And remember – it's *good* to be king.
(He pats his shoulder.)

ANCIENT SHIP. Sam has got cables and wires running from various
parts of the ship to the time device. Jack and Daniel come in.
O'NEILL: Nice ride!
DANIEL: Yeah, Ancients like to fly in style.
(Jack walks forward and looks at the flight area.)
O'NEILL: *Nice!* Woo-hoo! (He sits down in the pilot's seat and
looks at the control panel.) You're gonna have to help me out here,
Carter. Got any quarters?
CARTER: Unfortunately I can't help you with this one, sir, you're on
your own.
O'NEILL: Fine! How do we know we're not gonna end up back at the
Alamo?
CARTER: Um, well, for one thing, that was on Earth – but more
importantly I've separated the time device from the control
circuits ... I think. (She comes forward and stands behind him.)
Concentrate on powering up the engines.
O'NEILL: Concentrate? (He closes his eyes for several seconds, then
opens them again.) Got nothin'.
DANIEL: Come on, Jack. You've already proven that the Ancient gene
you possess allows you to operate Ancient technology. It's no
different than, uh, the device in Antarctica. Just ... (he closes
his eyes and gestures dramatically) focus your mind.
(Jack and Sam turn and look at him as he opens his eyes again.
Daniel shrugs. Jack turns back to the controls, takes his cap off,
and closes his eyes again. Moments later, the controls light up.)
DANIEL: Good!
(Jack screws his eyes tighter closed, concentrating hard. After a
moment, the lights on the control panel flicker and go out.)
DANIEL: Not so good.

VILLAGE. Some of the women are gathering together various items for
Harry.
MAYBOURNE: Tempus fugit, girls, tempus fugit. (As the women go for
more items, he goes over to the collection, picking one of them up as
Teal'c approaches.) I sure collected a lot of stuff in only a couple
of years. Guess I'm a bit of a pack rat.
TEAL'C: When do you intend to address your people?
MAYBOURNE: I'm getting to that – it's just ... Well, I'm thinking
about what I'm gonna say.
TEAL'C: Perhaps you should consider telling the truth.
MAYBOURNE: That's one strategy(!)
TEAL'C: Whatever you decide, we are running out of time. We must
leave soon.
MAYBOURNE: Yeah. I know. (He looks at Teal'c.) I know. (He walks
towards the people who are collecting his possessions together.) No,
no, just leave that. (He gestures.) That stuff over there ...
(Nearby, Gerran has been standing behind a pillar listening to the
entire conversation.)

ANCIENT SHIP.
CARTER: The primary power source is depleted. We need to reroute the
controls to the secondary output which was originally designed to
power the time device.
O'NEILL: Of *course* we do!
(Sam finishes tinkering.)
CARTER: OK. Try it now, sir.
(Jack turns back to the controls, puts his hands on them, closes his
eyes and concentrates. A few moments later the lights on the control
panel come on, then flicker on and off several times before finally
coming on fully. The engine can be heard powering up. Then sparks
start to fly out of all the cables that Sam had jury-rigged the power
source with. Jack loses concentration and the lights go out again.)
CARTER: Damn it!

WOODLAND. Jack, Sam and Daniel are making their way back to the
village.
CARTER: I'm just not that familiar with Ancient technology. I need a
little time.
O'NEILL: That is one thing I can't give you, Carter. (He puts his
pack on the ground and starts rummaging through it.)
DANIEL: You can't be serious.
CARTER: Sir, this technology is too valuable to lose.
O'NEILL: Carter, what do you want me to do? Call in reinforcements?
It's not like we're throwing down with a couple of Jaffa. We're
taking on a System Lord and his band of merry bad guys. (He hands a
block of C4 to Sam, and another to Daniel.) Inside and out, I want
that thing gone.
(They hear rustling in the trees around them and jump to their feet,
aiming their weapons. Villagers run out of the trees, aiming their
crossbows at the team.)
GERRAN: Surrender your weapons, or die where you stand.
O'NEILL: Oh, if I had a nickel!
GERRAN: Lower your weapons.
O'NEILL: I ... don't think so.
GERRAN: We will not allow you to take King Arkhan from us.
O'NEILL: Good King Arkhan is a fraud.
MAN: Our king is wise. He is a seer.
O'NEILL: He may be your king, but he's no seer.
DANIEL: He can only interpret what's been written on the pillars of
the temple ruins not far from here. Now, those writings hold the
prophecies, and anyone who can read them can make the same
predictions.
GERRAN: That is a lie.
DANIEL: Why don't we just go back to the village and let King Arkhan
explain everything?
GERRAN: First lower your weapons.
(Daniel lowers his pistol but Jack and Sam don't move.)
DANIEL: Jack?
O'NEILL: Daniel?
DANIEL: They're not gonna shoot ... (he looks at Gerran) are ya?
(After a moment, Gerran and her people lower their crossbows. Jack
and Sam lower their rifles.)
O'NEILL (smiling delightedly): *God*, I miss goin' offworld! Oh,
yeah!

VILLAGE. Two children are presenting a bunch of flowers to Harry,
who is squatting down talking to them. Jack walks up behind him just
as the children run off.
O'NEILL: Who'd'a thunk?
MAYBOURNE: Oh, hey, Jack. (He stands up.) I, uh, spoke with
Gerran. I was sorry to hear about what happened at the ship.
Believe me, I had nothing to do with it.
O'NEILL: I know, Harry, you're *always* the victim in these things.
MAYBOURNE: OK, look, I'll admit that when I first found the ruins, I
did plan to use them to my personal advantage. But all that changed
once I became King Arkhan the First.
O'NEILL: Oh, *please*!
MAYBOURNE: It's true, Jack. I care about these people. I wanna help
them.
O'NEILL: Then tell `em the truth. Come clean on all this stuff.
MAYBOURNE: I've already arranged for an assembly with the, uh,
village elders. I'm gonna tell them we have to leave.

LATER. The villager elders have gathered together. SG-1 are
standing nearby. Harry comes out and walks over to Jack.
MAYBOURNE: Well, here goes nothing. (He approaches the elders.) My
friends. I wish I were here under better circumstances but the fact
is, I come before you all to deliver a warning. The village is in
danger, and the time has come for us to leave. (The elders mutter
negatively to each other.) We must abandon our world. Arrangements
are being made to help us ... (he looks round at Jack, who nods
encouragingly) temporarily relocate to a safe place.
(The elders mutter again.)
MAN 2: But the prophecy was clear. The enemy will be defeated.
MAYBOURNE: Ah, yes, uh, the prophecy was clear, but only up to a
certain point. After that it was somewhat, uh, unclear – uh, sort
of, uh, murky clarity.
(Jack rolls his eyes as the elders mutter some more.)
MAYBOURNE: Of course the enemy will be defeated, but there is a
chance that some of us may get hurt or even killed in the process,
and I am not willing to ...
MAN 3: Impossible! You assured us we would be safe!
MAYBOURNE: Yes, I, I remember that. Uh, however ... (He looks around
his people and their expressions of hope and belief in him, then
turns to Jack. Jack nods. Harry turns back to his people, sighs and
steps closer to them.) The truth is, I've not been entirely honest
with you. I am not a seer. I don't possess insight into the future
or divine powers that set me apart. I'm just a regular guy, no more
or less special than any of you.
MAN 3: But the prophecies!
MAYBOURNE: The prophecies don't come from me. They come from the
walls of the old temple, written in stone for all to see. I have the
ability to interpret these writings and, with the proper
understanding, any of you could do the same. (The crowd mutters,
starting to sound angry.) I am a pretender. I took advantage of you
and ... (he reaches up and takes his crown off) and for that I am
deeply sorry.
(Gerran steps forward.)
GERRAN: What about the design for the new watermill? Was this
written on the temple wall as well?
MAYBOURNE: Uh, no, that was from me.
GERRAN: And our new medicines? Our legal code? The irrigation
system? Were these things also found in the ruins?
MAYBOURNE: No.
GERRAN: These were not the acts of a pretender, but of a leader!
(The elders murmur their agreement. Jack looks startled.)
MAYBOURNE: Uh, guys, I'm touched, really.
GERRAN: What does it matter *where* the prophecies came from? All we
need know is that each one of them has been fulfilled, as this latest
will be fulfilled.
MAYBOURNE: Well, now, let's not get carried away here.
GERRAN: We will defeat this enemy – and we will do so under the
leadership of our great king, Arkhan the First! Arkhan! Arkhan!
Arkhan!
(She punches her fist into the air each time she calls his name. The
other elders take up the chant. As the chanting continues, Harry
turns round to Jack and shrugs in a "what can you do?" way. Jack
stares at him in disbelief. Harry turns back to his people and puts
his crown back onto his head.)

LATER. SG-1 are preparing to leave the village. Harry hurries over
to them.
MAYBOURNE: Uh, Jack. Look, uh, sorry about that.
O'NEILL: Not my problem, Harry. If these folks don't wanna go, they
don't have to go. Teal'c – you and Daniel head on back, secure the
Gate. Carter – you and I'll take care of the ship.
MAYBOURNE: Now, Jack, Jack, Jack, wait a minute. Uh, I know it
sounds crazy, but Gerran was right about the prophecies. They have
all come true.
O'NEILL: Harry, we're not stayin' – and if you wanna come with us, I
suggest you get your royal butt to the Gate.

STARGATE. The Gate is dialling in as Daniel and Teal'c come out of
the trees. They duck down as the Gate kawhooshes, and watch as Jaffa
start coming through.

ANCIENT SHIP. Jack and Sam have just arrived at the ship as Daniel
radios in.
DANIEL (over radio): Jack, come in.
O'NEILL (into radio): Go ahead.
DANIEL: Uh, we've got a little problem here. Ares' Jaffa just came
through the Gate. We're cut off. If you blow the ship now, you'll
give away your position.
CARTER: Guess we're stayin' for a while.
(Back at the Gate, Daniel and Teal'c watch as Ares' First Prime comes
through the Gate.)

VILLAGE. The First Prime and his Jaffa march into the village and
walk over to Harry, who is sitting on his throne. Harry stands as
they approach.
MAYBOURNE: Welcome, strangers. I am King Arkhan the First. It is
with a joyful heart and open arms that we welcome you ...
TRELAK: I am Trelak, First Prime to the great Lord Ares, your god,
who will be returning to reclaim this land and his loyal followers.
MAYBOURNE: Of course, of course. Glad tidings of comfort and joy ...
comfort and joy.
TRELAK: Lord Ares demands nothing short of complete obedience from
both you and your people. (He turns around and faces the people.)
Any resistance will be dealt with harshly.
MAYBOURNE: Understood.
(Trelak turns away from the crowd towards Harry. Behind him, in the
crowd, are Daniel and Teal'c, wearing hooded cloaks.)
TRELAK: Gather your subjects. Inform them of our arrival.
MAYBOURNE: Of course. I'll address them immediately.
(Trelak looks at the women surrounding Harry's throne. He doesn't
like the expression on the face of one of the women.)
TRELAK: Do you have something to say, slave?
WOMAN: I am not a slave.
MAYBOURNE: I apologise. My servant spoke out of turn. She will be
punished.
TRELAK: Of course she will. (He clicks his fingers and a Jaffa grabs
her and forces her to her knees. He aims his staff weapon at her and
activates it. Daniel looks at Teal'c in concern, and the two of them
covertly reach for their weapons.)
WOMAN: Kill me if you want, but know this: in the end, you and your
people will be defeated just as the prophecy has foretold.
TRELAK: "The prophecy."
(Harry laughs nervously.)
MAYBOURNE: Pay no attention. She's obviously frightened beyond
reason.
WOMAN (to Trelak): It foretold of your arrival and of your defeat.
MAYBOURNE: Another predicted rain today with a chance of morning
frost, and yet what fine weather we are enjoying.
TRELAK: Silence! (He looks down at the woman.) Where may I find
this prophecy? (The woman doesn't answer.) If what you say is true,
then we would be fools to stay and meet our certain death.
WOMAN: It is written on the walls of the old temple.
(Trelak looks at the Jaffa aiming his staff weapon at the woman.)
TRELAK: Go with her.
(The Jaffa deactivates his weapon, hauls the woman to her feet and
marches her away. Several of the other Jaffa go with them. Trelak
turns and looks at Harry, who shrugs as if he has no idea what the
woman was talking about.)

ANCIENT SHIP. Sam is busy trying to get the power source working
when Daniel radios in.
DANIEL (over radio): Sam, Jack, this is Daniel. Ares' First Prime
just sent some men out to check out the ruins. As soon as they see
that Ancient writing, they're gonna search the area.
O'NEILL (over radio): Carter – how's it going in there?
(Sam picks up a radio and speaks into it.)
CARTER: Just a few more minutes, sir.
DANIEL (over radio): What are you guys doing? I thought you were
going to blow it up?
CARTER: General O'Neill's given me one more chance to get the engines
online so we can fly it out of here.
DANIEL: Yeah, I'm all for saving the ship but you could be kinda
close.
CARTER: I know.

VILLAGE. Villagers are bringing food to the long table. Harry calls
out to Trelak who is standing nearby talking with one of his Jaffa.
MAYBOURNE: I have prepared a feast in your honour. Come! (Trelak
finishes his conversation with the Jaffa, who walks away as Trelak
approaches the table.) Please, sit, partake of our bounty. (He
picks up a guango.) This fruit, for instance – it's sort of a cross
between a ...
(As he holds the fruit up, Trelak wraps his hand around Harry's hand
and squeezes it tightly. Harry grimaces in pain.)
TRELAK: I'm not interested in your offering. You were warned.
Anyone who refuses to accept us will die.
MAYBOURNE: You've made yourself perfectly clear.
TRELAK: To you, perhaps, but your subjects seem less than willing to
accept our terms. (He looks round at some of the villagers, who are
all looking at him sullenly.) They cling to archaic beliefs –
prophecies, portents – that threaten to undermine the rule of our god.
MAYBOURNE: That won't happen. (Trelak releases his hand and the two
of them walk away from the villagers.) I can see to it.
TRELAK: How?
MAYBOURNE: They're simple folk, easily influenced. With my help,
you'll have no trouble bending them to your will.

TEMPLE RUINS. The woman and the Jaffa have arrived.
WOMAN: It's here.
(A Jaffa looks at one of the pillars, clearly recognising the Ancient
writing on it. Nearby, Jack is watching through binoculars as the
Jaffa shouts orders to the others, who spread out in different
directions to begin searching.)
O'NEILL: Dammit. (He activates his radio.) Carter.
(Sam is still on the Ancient ship.)
CARTER (into radio): Sir?
O'NEILL: They're headed our way.
CARTER: I need more time.
O'NEILL (to himself): Yeah, of *course* you do! (He heads off.)

WOODLAND. As two Jaffa get near to the area where the ship is, Jack
guns them down.

VILLAGE. Trelak and Harry hear the shooting. The other Jaffa raise
their staff weapons, aiming them at the villagers.
TRELAK: Those were Tau'ri weapons.
MAYBOURNE: What's a Tau'ri?
(Trelak nods to his Jaffa, who start pushing the villagers around and
pulling their cloaks off to get a better look at them. It's not long
before they uncover Daniel and Teal'c and disarm them.)

WOODLAND. Jack is running towards the ship as two Jaffa fire at
him. He runs into the back of the ship.
O'NEILL: Time to go. (He pushes a button that closes the door. Sam
continues working as he runs to the front of the ship. Outside, the
Jaffa fire at the closed door.)

VILLAGE. Daniel and Teal'c are pushed forward to face Trelak.
TRELAK: You're too late to save this world. I've already received
word. Lord Ares has just arrived.

(In space above the planet, a mothership is approaching.)

ANCIENT SHIP. Sam closes her laptop.
CARTER: I'm done – I think. (She runs to the front of the ship.)
We're good to go, sir. (She sits down next to Jack, who has his
hands on the control panel and has his head bowed and his eyes
closed. The ship rings with the sound of the Jaffa firing at the
rear door.)
O'NEILL: I'm doing the best I can.

VILLAGE.
TRELAK: What were you and your allies planning? (Daniel and Teal'c
don't answer. Trelak walks over to Teal'c.) Know this, shol'va –
I'll see to it that you suffer slowly.
TEAL'C: And I will see to it that you die quickly.
(Trelak smiles smugly, turns away, then grabs a staff weapon and jams
it into Teal'c's chest. Teal'c doubles up but doesn't fall. Another
Jaffa clubs him from behind, knocking him to his knees. Slowly
Teal'c rises to his feet, his face speaking volumes as he glares at
Trelak.)
TRELAK: I think not. My men guard the Gate, and the mothership
descends as we speak. (He chuckles and turns away.)

ANCIENT SHIP. Jack is still deep in concentration as the Jaffa
continue firing on the ship. Finally the lights on the control panel
start to flicker before coming on permanently. Jack opens his eyes
and takes hold of the flight stick, and the ship starts to rise.

VILLAGE. Trelak is still speaking to Daniel and Teal'c.
TRELAK: You were plotting in concert with the people of this world.
Treachery is something we cannot abide.
(Harry walks over to Teal'c and glares at him before turning to
Trelak.)
MAYBOURNE: I couldn't agree with you more. You think you feel
outraged? Imagine how *I* feel – betrayed by my own people!
(Trelak grabs him by the throat, beginning to strangle him. He is
distracted, however, by the sound of the Ancient ship approaching.
He looks up as the ship flies right overhead. Its wake shakes the
ground and everybody stumbles. Daniel and Teal'c immediately seize
the distraction. Teal'c grabs a staff weapon from a nearby Jaffa
while Daniel grabs a pot and clubs another Jaffa over the head with
it. Teal'c punches a Jaffa, then jams the staff weapon into his
stomach. Daniel grabs a zat gun off another Jaffa and shoots him
with it.)

ANCIENT SHIP.
CARTER: Sir, we're detecting another ship. It's big.
(The Ancient ship heads up into space.)

VILLAGE. Daniel zats a Jaffa but another one smashes his staff
weapon down onto Daniel's hands, making him drop the zat, before
thumping him in the chest with his staff. Teal'c takes down another
Jaffa before doing one of his fancy flourishes with his staff weapon
to shoot down a Jaffa behind him. Trelak finally releases his grip
on Harry's throat to throw himself at Teal'c from behind. Teal'c
flips him over his head. The Jaffa that attacked Daniel jumps on top
of him, holding his staff weapon across Daniel's throat and trying to
strangle him with it. Trelak throws some dirt into Teal'c's face and
then, while Teal'c is doubled over trying to get it out of his eyes,
picks up a large bench and smashes it across Teal'c's back before
kicking him savagely in the stomach. He stands over Teal'c and draws
a knife.
TRELAK: Shol'va!
(From behind him, Harry smashes a water jug over his head. Trelak
turns and throws him across the square. This gives Teal'c time to
get to his feet and as Trelak raises the hand with the knife in it,
Teal'c seizes his hand and a battle of strength begins, the two of
them having eventually to resort to using both hands as they try to
gain control of the knife. Nearby, Daniel is still being strangled
by his Jaffa. Suddenly the Jaffa cries out and falls on top of
Daniel with an arrow in his back. Behind him is Gerran, still aiming
her crossbow at him. Daniel shoves the Jaffa off him as Gerran
reloads. Back with Teal'c, he and Trelak are gradually forcing the
knife down between them. Teal'c produces a final burst of energy and
shoves the knife into Trelak's chest. Trelak gasps, then looks at
Teal'c.)
TRELAK: You are a man of your word.
TEAL'C: Indeed. (He shoves the knife deeper and walks away before
Trelak even hits the floor.)

ANCIENT SHIP.
CARTER: You're doing great, sir ... (the ship jerks around)
relatively speaking.
(The mothership starts firing at the ship.)
O'NEILL: Weapons. (He closes his eyes and concentrates, speaking
quietly to the ship itself.) Weapons.
(Ancient drones deploy from the ship and fly towards the mothership,
impacting with it.)
CARTER: Keep firing, sir.
O'NEILL: Nothing's happening.
CARTER: Weapons must be depleted. Hopefully you hit some vital
systems.
(A few moments later, the mothership blows up.)
O'NEILL: Think that was vital?
CARTER: Relatively speaking. (She grins at Jack, who rocks his head
in a "not bad" way. Sam looks out of the window, smiling, then blows
out a breath of relief.)

STARGATE. The Gate kawhooshes. Sam and Jack are each holding a
sprig of yellow flowers, which presumably the villagers presented to
them. Harry stands next to them. Jack smells his flowers, then
turns to Harry.
O'NEILL: You sure you don't wanna leave all this?
MAYBOURNE: I can't abandon these people, Jack. I made a life here –
I can't walk away from my home, my friends ... my wives.
CARTER: *Wives*?!
(Harry looks pointedly at the women standing behind Jack and Sam.
Jack puts his hand on Sam's shoulder.)
O'NEILL: Go. (Sam heads towards the Gate. Jack turns to Harry.)
Wives. (Harry shrugs.) Dog! (He follows Sam. Teal'c and Daniel
are at the top of the steps as Sam and Jack walk up to join them.
Daniel waves to Harry, then he, Teal'c and Sam go through the Gate.
Jack reaches the top of the steps and turns back towards Harry, who
throws him a salute. Jack salutes with his sprig of flowers, then
walks through the Gate.)
