Stargate SG-1 s04e10 Episode Script

Beneath the Surface

(klaxon) Colleagues.
Your attention, please.
I'm pleased to report that|thanks to your hard work .
.
we have enough reserve energy to heat|the greenhouses for the next two months.
Special merit to the workers of section 23.
Let us use this, not as an excuse to work|less, but as motivation to work harder.
Our world may be covered in ice,|but one day .
.
we will reclaim our place on the surface.
(all) It is my honour to serve.
- Kegan, how about some bread?|- Sorry, just gave away the last piece.
Oh, here we go.
Every time.
- What is your problem?|- I don't have one.
And we don't have bread.
- Is there a problem here?|- Stay outta this.
- Jonah, people are waiting.
|- Give her the damn bread! - The two of you are friends, O'Neill.
|- Stay out of it! We are part of something called SG-1 .
|I am Teal'c.
Do you not remember? Somebody get this guy off me! - Get him upstairs.
|- We don't belong here! You must remember! We must escape! Brenna, it is my honour to serve.
- I don't know that man.
|- I know, don't worry.
He's nightsick.
Give Therra her bread.
Everyone finish and back to work.
These pumps regulate the overflow.
Sometimes they get clogged|and you have to Carlin? Where's he been for five days? Recovering from nightsickness.
|It's a strange thing.
There was this guy|a couple of years ago .
.
tried to smash his way|through one of those skylights.
Did he do it? You would've known if he had.
This place would've been buried under|ice and you would've frozen to death.
Right.
Cover those valves.
What happened? A stabiliser ruptured.
They're too|corroded to take the pressure.
- There's not much we can do.
|- I think there is.
An automatic relief valve on each|stabiliser could vent the excess pressure.
I've done some calculations.
|If you want, I could show you.
You can come by my office later.
- You all right?|- Fine.
- That explosion|- No, no, I'm fine, really.
Good.
Brenna wants to see me.
She wants to|hear my ideas for improving the plant.
You could take a few minutes off.
Please! You work just as hard as I do.
That's different.
It's called stamina.
Have a good shift.
Right.
There she goes.
Why does Brenna listen to her? I don't know.
She seems pretty smart.
She thinks she's better than the rest of us.
- They both do.
|- Teal'c said we were friends.
His name's not Teal'c.
It's Tor.
Nightsickness.
Sir, we're ready with|the video link to P3R-1 18.
Very well.
- Administrator Calder.
|- General Hammond.
I'm sorry to have to tell you this,|but oursearch has turned up nothing.
Given the hostile conditions|outside the dome, .
.
l don't see how SG-1|could've survived this long.
With respect, Administrator, I'm not|ready to give up on my people just yet.
We have specialised equipment and|teams trained for this kind of operation.
When Major Carter talked ofexploring|the glacier, I explained the danger, .
.
but Colonel O'Neill was overly confiident|that they could handle the conditions.
I appreciate your concern, but|I assure you I'll take full responsibility.
Very well.
Tell Brenna I want to see her tomorrow.
I'd like to know|how our new workers are doing.
- Go ahead.
|- Go where? - The other side.
|- Carlin.
Don't listen to him.
Major, what's your status? We've launched the UAV.
|We're getting telemetry now.
But I have to tell you, sir,|it doesn't look good.
This place is pretty nasty.
What happened? - I was injured.
|- When? Why are you speaking to me? I just thought, uh Since apparently we're|friends from way back, I thought that What is that, uh, thing on your forehead? A birthmark.
A birthmark.
You'd think|I'd remember something like that.
I don't know you.
You said you did.
- Last week, during morning|- I wasn't here last week.
You said we were friends and we had|to escape.
I want an explanation.
I said no such thing.
I'm obviously completely|wrong about that.
Yes.
Don't talk to me again.
Yeah, right.
I told you to leave him alone.
He was there.
You heard him.
|Why would he deny that? - Nightsickness affects your mind.
|- That doesn't explain the dreams I've had.
- Something's wrong here, Kegan|- Carlin.
It's bad enough he named you|as part of his delusion.
If people hear you talk like this,|they'll think you're nightsick.
People? Not that I would ever Carlin No, no, no, of course not.
It's just a dream.
Why didn't the memory stamp|work on Teal'c? I'm sure it was the creature|his species carries within them.
We've stamped him again.
|This time it seems to be holding.
- What about the others?|- They're all proving excellent workers.
In fact, Therra has some very interesting|ideas for improving the plant.
Therra? The personality|we stamped Major Carter with.
We've had problems|with pressure overload.
She suggested an automated relief valve|which would relieve excess pressure.
If we didn't have to regulate|the pressure manually, .
.
it would free up workers for other tasks.
Maybe one day she could increase|productivity to the point .
.
where we don't even need workers.
What would be so wrong with that? Nothing.
I'm sure they'd fit right in.
Of course, they don't even|know the city exists.
- We could tell them.
|- That they've been lied to all their lives? How would the people of the city react|when there was less to go around? When they had to make|room for workers? Right now in our city we have no crime.
|No unemployment.
- But|- They're happy where they are.
That's what the stamp assures.
Do only what is necessary|to guarantee uninterrupted power.
Yes, Administrator.
Did you get a chance|to look over my plans? - I'd like to get started right away|- We can't do the improvements.
- But you said|- No.
The generators would be off line too long.
If any critical systems began to freeze,|we might not get them started again.
- I agree there's some risk|- Too much risk.
OK, well, what about my other ideas? I'm sorry.
This plant is all that stands|between us and the ice.
Uninterrupted production|is more important than efficiency.
You may return to work.
Brenna, I know you were excited|about this.
What's happened? Well, I've thought it over.
- At least let me come up with a safer|- Therra, .
.
please leave.
It's my honour to serve.
I'm not making this up|off the top of my head.
I've got a detailed plan,|including safeguards.
- I'm sure she knows that.
|- I could make a difference here.
She won't even let me.
Why don't you go back to her in a couple|of days, offer up something small? Maybe you gotta work in to the big stuff.
How do you stay so calm? I think in another life I've handled|dangerous explosives.
I don't know.
What What do you mean,|in another life? I don't mean anything by it.
|It's just an expression, isn't it? - Major.
|- I'm sorry, sir, there's no sign of 'em.
I understand.
You and your team|have been out there a long time.
No, sir.
When I say there's no sign,|I mean literally not a trace.
What are you saying, Major? I can't imagine what scientific reason|Major Carter or Dr Jackson might've had .
.
to want to check out those ice fields,|but even if they wanted to go there, .
.
there's no way|Colonel O'Neill would've let them.
According to Administrator Calder, .
.
Colonel O'Neill believed|the risk was acceptable.
I can't speak to that, sir.
|I'm not a diplomat.
Off the record.
They're not out there, sir.
No way.
Administrator Calder says they are.
Then I'd say he's a damn liar.
Kegan, I need to ask you something.
- How did I get here?|- You were transferred from the mines.
No.
Before that.
Before? Yes.
You don't remember? I keep thinking about it, and all|I come up with is a handful of memories.
What is this about anyway? I'm just wondering if Jonah|and Therra were ever my friends.
Friends - Maybe I don't recognise them because|- Listen to me.
They are tryin' to get close to Brenna|so they can get special treatment.
- Especially Therra.
|- All I'm saying And all I am saying: that if you're friends|of those two you're not mine.
Pressure's too high! Pipes are hot! This whole section's gonna blow.
|Help me get him outta here! (klaxon) - What's going on?|- Pressure overload.
- We've gotta fix it.
|- It's too late.
We have to evacuate.
- What's happening?|- If that boiler blows, so will the section.
I can shut off the main boiler here, but|somebody has to open the primary valve.
Carlin! - Get these people outta here!|- Get outta here! Clear this section! Here.
This way! Let's go! Hey! - I must return to my duties.
|- I want you to rest.
You'll stay here until I say|you're well enough to work.
As for you three, we all owe you|a debt of gratitude.
You risked your lives to save the plant.
- (all) It is my honour to serve.
|- Right.
But for your quick action,|many lives might've been lost.
- Next time will be different.
|- Hopefully there won't be a next time.
- If you'd listened to me in the first place|- Therra.
You're dismissed.
Hey, next time don't hold back.
|Just, you know, speak your mind.
- She knows I'm right.
|- There's something else going on.
- The big nightsick guy with the, uh|- Tor.
He said we were part|of something called SG-1 .
- Yeah, what is that?|- A team? What kind of a name is that for a team? I don't know.
I just think I'm supposed|to be doing something more important.
We're helping our people|survive an ice age.
- Yeah, what's more important than that?|- I don't know.
Look, I just have this feeling that all of us|are part of some bigger, grander thing.
Well, I certainly understand|what you're talkin' about.
- You do?|- No.
Look, I don't know how to explain this,|but I had this dream.
You were in it.
Me? There was this big, glowing puddle.
OK, just stop talking, right now.
Wait a second, Jonah.
|I had the same dream.
Will you two stop talkin' like that,|for cryin' out loud? It's an expression.
Right? Look, we can't talk right now.
|Let's meet after lights out.
- So?|- So? Did you have the same dream? - About you?!|- About the shimmering circle of water.
No.
My dreams are about .
.
other things.
Tor said we had to escape.
He also said we had to remember.
|Remember what? I remember when I was foreman, anyone|caught doing what we're doing now .
.
had their rations cut in half for a month.
- We'll have to risk it.
|- What if our memories were altered? If that's true, then we can't|be sure of anything.
My memory's fine.
- Really?|- Yeah.
What did you do in the mines? - I mined.
|- No, what did you do? I remember shovelling ore into a cart.
And? I did that a lot.
I remember a feeling|of cold and darkness.
- And that's where the two of you met?|- Yeah.
Really? Sure.
What's this important thing|we're supposed to be doing? I told you, I don't know.
I keep trying to remember, but all|I come up with are images of this place.
But if you're right, everything|we remember about this place is a lie.
It's like a facade.
It only works if we don't dig too deep|beneath the surface, don't question it.
So that's what we have to do.
We have|to question every assumption, everything.
We have to keep this to ourselves.
If the others heard us talking this way,|they'd think we were nightsick.
What if we are nightsick? I don't think so, sir.
What? - What?|- You just called Jonah "sir".
Well, it's an expression.
Isn't it? Sir? I have those medical reports|you were waiting for.
Major Griff did suffer some minor|frostbite, but the rest of his team is fine.
Thank you, Doctor.
Any word from the planet? I spoke to Administrator Calder|about an hour ago.
He regretfully informed me that|a search of the city turned up nothing.
So that's it? Short of going to war, all we can do|is break off diplomatic relations.
I'm not authorised to do that just yet.
I take it they have something we want.
They're quite advanced in metallurgical|and chemical technologies.
We must have something theywant|for them to propose trade.
Stargate technology.
Gate addresses.
I can understand that:|they're surrounded by ice.
As far as I am concerned, they need us|a hell of a lot more than we need them.
Apparently Administrator Calder|doesn't seem to think so.
Frankly, I think he likes things|just the way they are.
Doesn't leave you with many options, sir.
No, it doesn't.
Which is why I've ordered Major Griff to|draw up a covert search-and-rescue plan.
Well, if you're looking for volunteers, sir Thank you, Doctor.
I'll keep that in mind.
Any more dreams? I saw the pool of light again.
Except this time we were all there.
Including Tor.
I dreamed about mining.
Naked.
Therra? Um A lot of numbers and letters|keep popping into my mind.
SG-1 , .
.
DHD, GDO - Sounds like gibberish to me.
|- It must mean something.
Excuse me.
Jonah? That means something.
What is it? I don't know yet.
Very impressive.
I see you made some new friends.
Yeah.
- Carlin|- I'm sorry, Kegan.
I don't understand.
His condition's|getting worse.
Let me check his wound.
Under no circumstances|are you to remove those bandages.
Just make sure|he continues to eat and drink.
I remember something.
There's a man.
He's bald and wears a short-sleeved shirt,|and somehow he's very important to me.
I think his name is Homer.
Doesn't ring a bell.
You? Just a lot of vague images.
You know, there are things|about this place that I like.
Really? Would it mean anything if I told you|I remember something else? What? Feelings.
Feelings? I remember feeling feelings.
For me? No, for Tor.
I don't remember much,|but I do remember that.
So? So I'm just saying.
Well, then I feel better.
For some reason Tor seems to be having|an adverse reaction to the memory stamp.
I think he may be dying.
Workers die.
What about his friends? I've received a report they've been|gathering together in secret.
Administrator, I think|they're starting to remember.
Their brain chemistry is different|than ours - that could be why.
- But we can restamp them.
|- No.
No, I think it's time they found out|what it was like outside.
All they really did was disapprove|of our treatment of the workers.
No, no.
No, they did much more than disapprove.
They passed judgment on us, Brenna.
I'm simply doing the same.
- Yes, sir.
|- Brenna If for some reason|you can't comply with my orders It's an honour to serve, Administrator.
Yes, it is.
Very impressive.
Too bad it's a lie.
I don't understand.
On the grand tour Carter saw ventilation|shafts coming out of apparently nowhere.
We checked it out.
You should have stayed with your escort.
Yeah.
I can see how|you wouldn't want outsiders .
.
to know about the slave-labour force|you keep underground.
- They're merely workers.
|- And what made them so worthy of that? - Colonel|- Administrator.
I will not recommend trade with a culture|that enslaves its own people.
I don't care what kind|of technology you have to offer.
This system of government has allowed|our culture to survive an ice age.
Tell me what's the secret? Starvation? Torture? What? Our methods are actually quite civilised.
Really? Yes.
In fact, .
.
l'll show you.
(klaxon) (whispers) Therra!|I think I know what's goin' on.
Jonah, Therra,|report to Brenna's quarters.
What is it? What are you doing? I've got orders to take him|up to Brenna's room.
Put him down over there.
You're dismissed.
- What's the matter with him?|- He's dying.
Kelno'reem.
What? I'm not sure what it means, but I think It's a kind of meditation.
He has to do it every day or he gets sick.
Right? So why doesn't he do it? - Because he can't remember.
|- Colonel O'Neill is correct.
As you've begun to suspect, all of you|have had your memories altered.
You are Major Samantha Carter.
Dr Daniel Jackson,|and your friend here is named Teal'c.
Where does Homer fit in? You were all they sent down.
At first I thought it was necessary,|to protect the city, but .
.
now things have gone too far.
You don't belong here.
|You need to return to your own world.
And your memories will come back|more quickly once you get home.
- Home?|- Yes.
Through there.
(doorgrates open) - Administrator Calder.
|- Brenna.
I must say I'm disappointed -|but not surprised.
See, I've been watching you|grow weaker for some time now.
I've been coming to my senses.
Either way, you're no longer|of any use to me.
Agh! As for the rest of you, .
.
it's time you found out what|the surface of this planet is really like.
Teal'c? - You all right?|- I am.
What happened? When I removed my bandages and|realised I was unlike the rest of you .
.
l began to remember.
I placed myself|in a deep state of kelno'reem, .
.
and my symbiote restored me to health.
Brenna should be OK|if we get her to the, uh - Infirmary.
|- Right.
You'll never make it back to the Stargate.
We've got you as a hostage.
|I don't see a problem.
- Jonah|- Jack.
Right.
We can't.
We have to tell|these people what's happening.
Yep.
You're right.
Everybody! Can I have your attention, please? I'd like to introduce you to someone.
This man has been keeping you|locked up down here .
.
while he and his friends|live it up up there.
- What?|- Don't listen to them! They shot Brenna! (murmuring) - It's true!|- Listen to me! There is a big, domed city up there,|full of people you serve! They've been hiding it|from you your entire lives! It's a lie! He's telling the truth, Kegan.
- You can't let them get away!|- Who are you? It's a good question.
My name is Calder.
I was a supervisor in the mines.
|Before I was transferred.
Yeah, whatever.
You want proof? No! (frightened gasps) No ice.
No snow.
You've accomplished nothing.
These people will never|be accepted in the city.
I think you're right about that.
That's why we're gonna|offer them a better place.
There's this nice little|tropical planet out there, .
.
where the beaches go on for ever.
This I remember clearly.
You and your people|can do your own shovelling.
You're destroying a way of life.
That's a shame.
Teal'c wanna show these people|how to get outta here? It hurts.
I know.
Try not to move it.
|We're gonna take you home with us.
Thank you.
So, Colonel.
Major.
- That bald man you remembered?|- General Hammond.
Right.
He's from Texas, you know.
|It's all coming back.
Yes, sir.
"Sir.
" Let's go home.
Yes, sir.
