00.21.22 TEAL’C- Gods cannot be killed.

TEASER
00.39.09 TEAL’C- It is good to see you, O’Neill.
0.42.03 O’NEILL- You, too.
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 2
00.43.19 TEAL’C- You appear to be well.
00.45.06 O’NEILL- Well, forget appearances. The back’s gone, the knee’s shot. Forget curling.
You?
00.55.09 TEAL’C- I am well again.
00.58.15 O’NEILL- So I hear. Welcome back.
01.06.19 TEAL’C- I once again pledge to you my allegiance, and ask your forgiveness for
succumbing to the will of Apophis.
01.12.21 O’NEILL- Well, he did sort of have you over a barrel, you being dead and all.
01.17.03 TEAL’C- It was through the power of the sarcophagus that I was forced to again
believe that Apophis was my God.
01.21.18 O’NEILL- Sarcophagi will do that.
01.25.07 TEAL’C- Doctor Mackenzie has convinced me otherwise.
01.27.13 DR. MACKENZIE- You convinced yourself, Teal’c. All I did was shine a light on
something you already…
DR. MACKENZIE (OS CONT)- knew.
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 3
01.34.16 O’NEILL- You know, just for fun, I’d love to hear you say it out loud.
01.42.18 TEAL’C- That Apophis is a false god? That the goa’uld are nothing but parasites?
01.47.20 O’NEILL- Yeah, that stuff.
01.49.08 TEAL’C- I hope to one day restore your trust in me, O’Neill. And to return to your
service, General Hammond.
01.59.07 O’NEILL- What d’you think? After you.
02.19.00 BRA’TAC (OS)- Hello, old friend.
02.20.18 TEAL’C- Master Bra’tac. It has been too long.
02.23.05 BRA’TAC- So it has. Your friends of Earth took great pains in bringing me here. He is
deceiving you.
02.42.04 CARTER- Teal’c.
02.48.28 TEAL’C- Shol’va!
02.59.16 O’NEILL- Ho! What are you doing?
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 4
03.02.13 BRA’TAC- If Teal’c won’t hear the truth in words, he must learn of it another…
BRA’TAC (OS CONT)- way.
BRA’TAC (CONT)- The only way left to us.

OPENING CREDITS
ACT ONE
04.26.18 GENERAL HAMMOND (OS)- Master Bra’tac, before we proceed…
04.28.28 BRA’TAC- We waste time.
04.30.16 GENERAL HAMMOND- …please explain to me what it is that you hope to achieve by
depriving Teal’c…
GENERAL HAMMOND (OS CONT)- of his symbiote.
04.35.02 BRA’TAC- I hope to save him.
04.37.26 DANIEL- By killing him.
04.40.01 BRA’TAC- If necessary.
04.41.01 O’NEILL- See, I think we disagree on the meaning of the word “save.”
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 5
04.46.09 BRA’TAC- You would have him remain this way? Loving a false god? Spitting and
cursing?
04.52.11 O’NEILL- No.
04.53.11 CARTER- There may be other methods we haven’t considered.
04.55.19 BRA’TAC- I have seen your methods. You underestimate the hold Apophis has on
Teal’c’s heart. In time you will have little choice but to lock him away, for he is
far too dangerous an enemy to have in…
BRA’TAC (OS CONT)- your midst.
BRA’TAC (CONT)- The rite of M’al Sharran is the only way.
05.15.17 DANIEL- Last rite.
05.17.00 BRA’TAC (OS)- To save Teal’c’s soul…
BRA’TAC (CONT)- first we must take him to the very threshold of death.
BRA’TAC (OS CONT)- On Chulak, it is said that when a warrior is dying, the events
that…
BRA’TAC (CONT)- forged him wash over his mind like a great wave.
05.29.14 DANIEL- His whole life passes before his eyes. We have a, a similar…uh, what does
that get us?
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 6
05.35.09 BRA’TAC- Through his fever and hallucination he will relive his true path, buried
beneath this lie.
05.40.29 O’NEILL- You’ve done this before?
05.44.16 BRA’TAC- Twice…
BRA’TAC (OS CONT)- in my hundred and thirty seven years.
05.47.27 CARTER- So you know it works.
05.50.18 BRA’TAC- Neither Jaffa had the strength to turn back…
BRA’TAC (OS CONT)- from the precipice. But I am content they died free.
BRA’TAC (CONT)- Teal’c would ask for nothing more. I owe him that. Do you?
06.18.21 DR. FRASIER (OS)- He’s in and out of consciousness. His temperature is rising. His
BP…
DR. FRASIER (CONT)- is falling. Teal’c’s immune system is failing. If we don’t return
his symbiote within the next few hours…
06.28.01 BRA'TAC- Do nothing.
06.29.16 DR. FRASIER- I can’t do that.
06.31.09 O'NEILL- Bra’tac made his case. Hammond gave the go ahead.
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 7
06.35.17 DR. FRASIER- I see. Then I will take this up with him.
06.42.04 BRA'TAC (OS)- Do you count yourself among…
BRA'TAC (CONT)- Teal’c’s friends?
06.44.08 DR. FRASIER- Of course.
06.46.07 BRA'TAC- Then stay. When the time comes, he made need your help to find his way
back to us. Can you hear me, old friend?
07.15.13 TEAL'C- Kal Kek ma’l Shol’va.
07.17.13 BRA'TAC- Then where is your God now, Teal’c?
07.19.16 TEAL'C- He will come.
07.20.27 O'NEILL- I don’t think so, buddy. I know we’ve been over this a few times, but just in
case you weren’t listening, I am one hundred percent sure – ninety-nine percent
sure Apophis is dead.
07.37.18 TEAL'C (OS)- He has deceived you, O’Neill.
TEAL'C (CONT)- As I’ve deceived you all these years, claiming to be in the service of
the Tauri.
07.44.07 O'NEILL- Right.
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 8
07.45.02 TEAL'C- I have never left the service of my Lord Apophis. And I never will.
07.49.03 O'NEILL- So all that time you were helping us out, saving the world, killing goa’ulds --
07.52.19 TEAL'C- Subterfuge.
07.54.04 O'NEILL- Savvy.
07.55.13 TEAL'C- You can take my life, but you can never take away my loyalty to my God.
TEAL’C (OS CONT)- I die in his name.
TEAL'C (CONT)- I DIE FOR YOU, MY LORD!
08.04.02 BRA'TAC- Enough! Do you know me, Teal’c?
08.09.02 TEAL'C- You are the Shol’va, Bra’tac.
08.10.21 BRA'TAC- There was a time I was once the First Prime and loyal servant of your Lord
Apophis. You were my apprentice.
08.18.05 TEAL'C- Kek tal shree shol’va.
08.19.24 BRA'TAC- Remember…
BRA'TAC (OS CONT)- Remember, Teal’c!
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 9
08.27.16 TEAL'C- It was glorious.
08.30.24 BRA'TAC- For years we fought side by side.
08.33.21 TEAL'C- In battle.
08.34.29 BRA'TAC (OS)- In his name.
08.38.07 TEAL'C- My Lord Apophis.
08.41.21 BRA'TAC- My Lord Apophis. Your enemy is defeated. You have won the day.
08.48.16 APOPHIS- Shal, met, Bra’tac. Rise. You have done well, and will know my gratitude.
09.03.22 BRA'TAC- You do me honor. In displaying great skill and cunning, these three most
honored your name in battle.
09.17.09 APOPHIS- Tell me of this…
APOPHIS (OS CONT)- one.
09.18.19 BRA’TAC (OS)- His name is Teal’c, my Lord…
BRA’TAC (CONT)- my apprentice. And with your blessing, my successor.
09.26.05 APOPHIS- Who was your father?
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 10
09.29.16 BRA’TAC- He is the son of --
09.31.20 APOPHIS (INTERRUPTING)- Let him speak. If he is to take your place as my First
Prime one day, I must know he has a tongue.
09.39.05 TEAL’C- My father was Ro’nak, First Prime of Cronus, who was murdered for failing to
win an unwinnable battle. My family was exiled to Chulak.
09.47.17 APOPHIS- He failed his God.
09.51.09 TEAL’C- He did not.
09.53.20 BRA’TAC- Shek, kree, Teal’c.
09.55.10 TEAL’C- My Lord, I speak only the truth. The battle could not have been won.
09.59.11 APOPHIS- Your father should have died trying. He was a coward.
10.06.17 TEAL’C- My Lord, my father was not.
TEAL’C (CONT)- (SCREAMING)
10.20.14 DANIEL- Uh, what was that?
10.23.29 BRA’TAC- A conjured memory. The first of many.
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 11
10.27.20 DR. FRASIER- He’s obviously in a lot of pain. At least let me give…
DR. FRASIER (OS CONT)- him --
10.30.06 BRA’TAC (INTERRUPTING)- Pain is what we seek. Teal’c’s path was laid down with
suffering.
BRA’TAC (OS CONT)- It is the path he must take to return to us.
10.39.13 DR. FRASIER- At the moment, he’s unconscious.
10.41.10 BRA’TAC- All the better.
10.42.28 O’NEILL- All the better?
10.43.21 BRA'TAC- It is his unconscious mind we must reach. I know my ways are foreign to
you…
BRA’TAC (OS CONT)- but I have known Teal’c longer than any of you have lived.
BRA'TAC (CONT)- I have walked his path. You cannot hope to understand the
darkness in his heart as I do. Trust in me. All of you.
11.10.29 CARTER- We do.
11.12.06 DANIEL- Whatever you need.
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 12
11.16.01 BRA’TAC- For the moment, I must meditate in Kelnoreem. This rite will take most of
the night and I am tired from my long journey here.
BRA’TAC (OS CONT)- In the meantime, stay with him. Speak to him.
11.30.16 DR. FRASIER- He won’t be able to hear us unless --
11.31.28 BRA’TAC (OS) (INTERRUPTING)- Perhaps not in his mind…
BRA’TAC (CONT)- but in his heart.
BRA’TAC (OS CONT)- Even in silence he will know of your presence.
BRA’TAC (CONT)- But your words will force him to remember.
BRA’TAC (OS CONT)- Challenge him when he does.
BRA’TAC (CONT)- Question his beliefs. Without his symbiote, he will not resist
reason so readily.
11.56.15 O’NEILL- Carter, maybe you can show Bra’tac to the VIP room.
12.00.25 CARTER- Yessir.
CARTER (OS CONT)- I hope you understand…
CARTER (CONT)- how difficult it is for us to just stand by while Teal’c is in such
obvious agony – especially Doctor Frasier
12.17.04 BRA’TAC- Humans concern themselves too much with pain.
12.20.06 CARTER- Yeah, we also don’t approve of torture.
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 13
12.23.13 BRA’TAC- The greater torture would be to leave him as he is. Teal’c is strong.
Stronger than I.
CARTER (CONT)- how difficult it is for us to just stand by while Teal’c is in such
obvious agony – especially Doctor Frasier
12.29.07 CARTER- Oh, I don’t know – you’re the fittest hundred and thirty seven year old I
know.
CARTER (CONT)- how difficult it is for us to just stand by while Teal’c is in such
obvious agony – especially Doctor Frasier
12.32.14 BRA’TAC- Perhaps. But I am nearing the end of my time. Kelnoreem is more and
more difficult. The symbiote within will mature…
BRA’TAC (OS CONT)- within two years. It will be my last.
12.46.17 CARTER- Why?
12.48.12 BRA’TAC- Even if I could procure another, the new symbiote would reject me. It is
how old warriors die.
12.57.08 CARTER- Well, maybe we can find some way to help you.
12.59.18 BRA’TAC- Life for the sake of life means nothing. Neither for me nor for Teal’c.
BRA’TAC (OS CONT)- Do you understand?
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 14
13.09.01 CARTER- I think I do.
13.10.23 BRA’TAC- Either he will return to us as we know him, or he will not return.
13.27.26 O’NEILL- You want to go first?
13.30.02 DANIEL- Sure.
13.50.06 O’NEILL- I’ll go.
13.50.16 DANIEL- Yeah.
13.54.13 O’NEILL- So, explain this to me one more time. You honestly believe that from the
moment you broke us out of that prison on Chulak, that you’ve been serving
Apophis?
O’NEILL (OS CONT)- Because I gotta tell you, as your best friend…
O’NEILL (CONT)- at least in this whole wide world, that makes absolutely no sense at
all. I mean, that would make you the most ineffective double agent in the
history…
O’NEIL (OS CONT)- of double agenting.
14.21.00 TEAL’C- Va’lar…
14.24.11 O’NEILL- What?
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 15
14.25.23 TEAL’C- Va’lar…
14.33.12 VA’LAR (OS) - Teal’c, are you all right?
14.35.21 TEAL’C- I met him. I spoke to him.
14.38.23 VA’LAR- With Apophis himself? You were granted an audience?
14.41.13 TEAL’C- As a reward for my deeds in battle.
14.44.03 VA’LAR- I don’t understand. How did he reward you? When they brought you here
you were so weak.
14.47.05 TEAL’C- He punished me.
14.49.02 VA’LAR- Then you must have failed him in some way.
14.50.21 TEAL’C- This day I struck down a hundred of Apophis’ enemies.
14.54.07 VA’LAR- You fought well, Teal’c. None would deny that.
VA’LAR (OS CONT)- But he is a God. And if you fail him…
VA’LAR (CONT)- by sparing even one enemy’s life that was yours for the taking, he
will know.
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 16
15.04.13 TEAL’C- This was not for the battle. What God would punish a son for loving his
father?
15.09.14 VA’LAR- Your God.
15.10.24 TEAL’C- Yes, but –
15.11.18 VA’LAR (INTERRUPTING)- Never question that again!
15.13.14 WARRIOR (OS)- Quiet!
15.18.24 VA’LAR- Today you served Apophis well in battle.
VA’LAR (OS CONT)- Serve him well again tomorrow and you may live to see another
day.
END OF ACT ONE
ACT TWO
15.39.17 O’NEILL (OS)- “Valar?” Is that what he said?
15.41.15 DANIEL- I thought he said “Velour.”
15.42.25 O’NEILL- “Velour?”
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 17
15.43.08 DANIEL- Velour.
15.44.09 O’NEILL- The fabric?
15.44.28 DANIEL- That’s what I heard him say.
15.45.26 O’NEILL- Why would he say that?
15.46.22 DANIEL- I don’t know. Why would he say Valar?
15.48.07 O’NEILL- I don’t know.
15.49.07 TEAL’C- Va’lar was my friend.
15.52.11 DANIEL- What?
15.52.13 O’NEILL- Teal’c?
15.56.14 TEAL’C- O’Neill…What is happening? Why am I restrained?
16.09.17 O’NEILL- Well, you were sort of trying to kill everyone these past few weeks.
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 18
16.14.25 TEAL’C- I could never have harmed you.
TEAL’C (OS CONT)- The rite of Ma’l Sherran has been successful.
TEAL’C (CONT)- Please release me.
16.23.24 O’NEILL- Um, nice try. But no
16.26.29 TEAL’C- I am not your enemy. We are brothers. Daniel…
TEAL’C (OS CONT)- Jackson --
16.31.21 DANIEL- Tell us about Va’lar.
16.34.14 TEAL’C- I have not heard that name in many years. I trained with him under Bra’tac.
TEAL’C (OS CONT)- We served in the personal guard of Apophis.
TEAL’C (CONT)- If you do not return my symbiote to me, I will die.
16.47.17 DANIEL- What happened to him?
16.54.08 TEAL’C- he failed his God.
16.57.24 O’NEILL- His God? You mean that scum sucking, overdressed, boom box voiced,
snake in the head? Latest on our long list of dead bad guys?
17.13.10 DR. FRASIER (OS)- Colonel, his…
DR. FRASIER (CONT)- heart rate just doubled.
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 19
17.16.17 TEAL’C- Ha’shak!
17.20.08 O’NEILL- That I understood.
17.22.23 TEAL’C- Do you think I don’t know what you’re doing to me?
17.27.00 DANIEL- We hope you do.
17.27.28 TEAL’C- No Jaffa can survive the rite of Ma’l Sharran. You are allowing Bra’tac to kill
me! Where is he? Shol’va!
TEAL’C (OS CONT)- Where are you?
17.37.05 DR. FRASIER- BP is crashing. Let’s start an IV.
17.39.05 TEAL’C (OS)- Where are you Shol’va?!
TEAL’C (CONT)- Are you afraid to face me?
TEAL’C (OS CONT)- Where are you?
TEAL’C (CONT)- Where are you? Kal mek?
TEAL’C (OS CONT)- (GROANS IN PAIN)
17.58.26 BRA’TAC (OS)- Were I truly your enemy, you would be dead.
18.04.28 TEAL’C- This is pointless. I am not blind.
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 20
18.07.29 BRA’TAC (OS)- In battle…
BRA’TAC (CONT)- you must use all your senses.
18.12.04 TEAL’C- Once again…
18.14.01 BRA’TAC- You have died enough for one day. We begin again in the morning.
18.19.20 TEAL’C- Without this.
18.25.24 BRA’TAC- Do you believe you can defeat the First Prime of Apophis in a challenge?
18.29.17 TEAL’C- I am the stronger.
TEAL’C (CONT)- (GROANS IN PAIN)
18.46.12 BRA’TAC (OS)- Shall I fire…
BRA’TAC (CONT)- and stop this waste of time…
BRA’TAC (OS CONT)- or will you learn?
18.51.27 TEAL’C- I was not prepared.
18.53.02 BRA’TAC- There are no second chances in battle.
BRA’TAC (OS CONT)- You have ears to hear and eyes to see…
BRA’TAC (CONT)- but you will not learn! Shall I put us both out of our misery? The
choice is mine. Who can stop me? Apophis?
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 21
19.11.11 TEAL’C- Yes.
19.12.10 BRA’TAC (OS)- So believe…
BRA’TAC (CONT)- our Lord Apophis is all seeing? All powerful?
19.16.23 TEAL’C- He is a God.
19.17.22 BRA’TAC- Is he? In battle, Teal’c, faith will not save you. Blind faith least of all. Rely
on your own strength and your own wits, or you are of no use to me.
19.48.25 DANIEL (OS)- I think the point that Jack was trying to make is that you are…
DANIEL (CONT)- generally a very, extremely logical person, and therefore your
assertion that you never left the service of Apophis is so…
DANIEL (OS CONT)- completely illogical, almost to the point of making absolutely no
sense whatsoever --
20.03.00 TEAL’C (INTERRUPTING)- Do you not know the meaning of faith, Daniel Jackson?
20.07.02 DANIEL- I think I do.
20.08.24 TEAL’C- Then you should know that my faith in Apophis is beyond question.
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 22
20.13.11. DANIEL (OS)- Still, if you remember me…
DANIEL (CONT)- and you remember Jack, then you must remember at some point
questioning your faith.
20.19.21 TEAL’C- Never. Apophis is a God.
20.23.24 DANIEL- False God. Dead false God.
20.31.01 TEAL’C- Your words cannot change the truth.
20.33.03 DANIEL- Well, they’re not my words Teal’c. They’re yours.
DANIEL (OS CONT)- Of course you were…
DANIEL (CONT)- wrong at the time because he wasn’t actually dead, but that’s
neither here nor there --
20.41.15 TEAL’C (INTERRUPTING)- Lies!
20.42.12 DANIEL (OS) The point is, there was a…
DANIEL (CONT)- time in your life when you realized the goa’uld can’t all be gods.
DANIEL (OS CONT)- Every symbiote a Jaffa carries will take a human host if given
the chance and become a goa’uld.
DANIEL (CONT)- How can they all be gods?
20.55.05 TEAL’C- Do not test my temper, woman!
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 23
20.57.20 DREY’AUC- I know you honor Bra’tac.
20.59.07 TEAL’C- I said do not test my temper!
21.00.26 DREY’AUC- But you…
DREY’AUC (OS CONT)- have no choice but to tell Apophis of his betrayal.
21.07.06 TEAL’C- Bra’tac is my master.
21.08.03 DREY’AUC- Apophis is your God.
21.12.13 TEAL’C- If I am ever to be First Prime of Apophis, I must first honor Bra’tac.
21.16.16 DREY’AUC- You have seen the power of Apophis!
DREY’AUC (OS CONT)- You have seen his chariots rise from the ground…
DREY’AUC (CONT)- walk through the wall of water within the Chappa-ai…
21.24.06 TEAL’C- As I have done.
21.24.28 DREY’AUC (OS)- Explain how a wall of light could leave his palm and throw a warrior
across the square if he is not a God!
21.29.26 TEAL’C- I cannot! Yet neither have I seen a warrior greater than Bra’tac.
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 24
21.43.22 DREY’AUC- Then you are the servant of two masters.
21.46.09 TEAL’C- What am I to do, Drey’auc?
22.01.06 DREY’AUC- Come to bed.
END OF ACT TWO
ACT THREE
22.09.29 DANIEL- Woman? Did he just call me a, a woman?
22.13.26 O’NEILL- Yes, I believe he did.
22.16.19 CARTER- He’s still unconscious?
22.19.28 DANIEL- In and out…obviously delirious.
22.29.28 CARTER- How’s Junior doing?
22.31.17 DR. FRASIER- The symbiote is fine for now. Although I don’t know what we’re going
to do with it if we let Teal’c die. But, won’t be my problem. I’ll have already
resigned if we let this go that far.
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 25
22.41.18 CARTER- Look, Janet, I know how you feel, but --
22.43.02 DR. FRASIER (OS) (INTERRUPTING)- No…
DR. FRASIER (CONT)- I’m a doctor, Sam. This goes against every part of me to just
stand by and do nothing.
22.50.19 CARTER- I don’t think that we’re doing nothing.
22.53.28 DR. FRASIER- Yeah.
23.06.15 CARTER- Is it working? Has he, has he said anything?
23.09.05 O’NEILL- He talked about fabric briefly.
23.11.20 DANIEL- He just called me a woman.
23.13.25 O’NEILL- So I think it’s working.
23.16.28 DANIEL- Well, something’s happening.
23.21.04 CARTER- Well, it looks like we’re in for the whole night. We should probably take
turns sitting with him.
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 26
23.25.24 O’NEILL- Yeah, all right. I’ll come back in a couple of hours. Daniel, you go after me.
Then I think we’ll all want to be here.
23.33.28 CARTER- Yessir. Hey, Teal’c. Look, I don’t know how good I’m going to be at this.
But, um, I guess the important thing is just to be there for you.
24.00.20 TEAL’C- Major Carter. How can you allow them to do this to me?
24.07.08 CARTER- Teal’c…
24.08.21 TEAL’C- I have no wish to die, Major Carter. You and Doctor Frasier could yet save
me.
24.15.09 CARTER- You’re not gonna die.
24.16.20 TEAL’C- I am being murdered as we speak.
24.18.20 CARTER- We’re helping you.
24.19.29 TEAL’C- Help me escape. Please.
24.25.01 CARTER- Oh, God. Teal’c, We want you to remember.
24.31.17 TEAL’C- Do you believe in a God, Major Carter?
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 27
24.33.24 CARTER- This isn’t about me.
24.35.14 TEAL’C- How would it be if you were punished for loving your God as I love mine?
24.41.05 CARTER- It’s not the same.
24.43.03 TEAL’C- I cannot help what I believe.
24.45.20 CARTER- You believe in freedom, Teal’c.
CARTER (OS CONT)- You believe in justice, protecting…
CARTER (CONT)- people from false Gods. You despise everything Apophis was.
24.56.06 TEAL’C- He failed his God. He…he failed…God…
25.06.21 CARTER- Teal’c?
25.10.21 VA’LAR- Teal’c.
25.12.10 TEAL’C- Why have you returned from the planet?
25.13.26 VA’LAR (OS)- I need…
VA’LAR (CONT)- to speak with you.
25.15.14 TEAL’C- Speak now. Apophis has summoned me.
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 28
25.16.28 VA’LAR- Alone. Please. The battle did not go well. Ra’s warriors were in far greater
numbers than we believed.
25.27.16 TEAL’C- You were given a battalion.
25.28.20 VA’LAR- Ra sent his gliders down upon us. We were flanked, bombarded from the
sky. There was no choice but to retreat.
25.34.01 TEAL’C- Shek, Kree, Va’lar.
25.35.24 VA’LAR- It was the only way to save my men.
25.37.26 TEAL’C- And yourself.
25.38.19 VA’LAR- No. I intend to return, and with greater numbers I will drive Ra’s warriors
from their foothold. Please…
VA’LAR (OS CONT)- tell him I am no coward. And if given the chance…
VA’LAR (CONT)- I will yet prevail. I swear it.
25.49.29 TEAL’C- Go to our sleeping quarters. Wait for me there.
25.54.10 VA’LAR (OS)- Teal’c…
VA’LAR (CONT)- It would have profited no one merely to fight and die.
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 29
26.00.02 TEAL’C- You may yet wish you had.
26.14.28 BRA’TAC- My Lord. We are at your service.
26.18.23 APOPHIS- Who did you entrust with this campaign?
26.21.07 BRA’TAC- Va’lar of Chulak, my Lord. A promising warrior.
26.26.03 APOPHIS- Yet he has returned in disgrace.
26.31.08 TEAL’C- Perhaps not in disgrace, my Lord. But as part of a cunning strategy…To
withdraw only to return in greater numbers to crush an overconfident enemy.
Va’lar himself would like to lead the second wave.
26.47.08 APOPHIS- Does he?
26.47.29 BRA’TAC- My Lord, allow me to --
26.53.09 APOPHIS (INTERRUPTING)- You would have done the same in his place, would you,
Teal’c?
26.56.13 TEAL’C- No. my Lord.
26.57.07 APOPHIS- You would have held your ground in the name of your God.
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 30
26.59.26 TEAL’C- Yes, my Lord.
27.08.21 APOPHIS- Then return with him to his place of shame and kill him.
27.13.08 TEAL’C- Yes, my Lord.
27.54.22 TEAL’C (OS)- JAFFA…
TEAL’C (CONT)- KEK SHAL KREE SHOL’VA!
28.37.01 VA’LAR- You may take solace for what you are about to do, Teal’c. I should have
died on this battlefield. Please tell Apophis I died well, honoring his name.
29.10.19 TEAL’C- Rise. There is a small village two or three days walk south of the city.
TEAL’C (OS CONT)- You may find shelter.
TEAL’C (CONT)- Do not allow yourself to be captured by either side.
29.47.21 VA’LAR- Teal’c, you cannot do this. Even for me. He will know.
29.52.09 TEAL’C- We shall see.
29.53.21 VA’LAR- I am more willing to face my punishment than to live knowing what Apophis
will do to you.
VA’LAR (OS CONT)- For your sake you must.
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 31
30.01.20 TEAL’C- Go now and never show your face again.
30.05.14 VA’LAR- He is a God, Teal’c. He will know that you have spared me.
30.11.04 TEAL’C- We shall see. Go. It is done.
30.12.28 APOPHIS- You have promise, Teal’c.
END OF ACT THREE
ACT FOUR
31.34.11 GENERAL HAMMOND- You didn’t stay away long.
31.39.03 O’NEILL- You should talk. You can go in there, you know.
31.44.07 GENERAL HAMMOND- I know.
31.50.10 O’NEILL- General, if Teal’c were here, he’d say you made the right decision.
31.55.05 GENERAL HAMMOND- If he were here.
31.58.16 O’NEILL- He’ll be back.
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 32
32.01.19 GENERAL HAMMOND- If not, Teal’c will be sent to a high security facility, and placed
in solitary confinement.
GENERAL HAMMOND (OS CONT)- When his symbiote matures in four or five…
GENERAL HAMMOND (CONT)- years…I won’t do that to him, Jack.
32.31.02 O’NEILL- No, sir. Of course not.
32.54.17 DREY’AUC (OS)- What is wrong, Teal’c?
33.00.12 TEAL’C- Three days ago, I led a battalion to retake a planet that had been occupied
by Ra’s army. Apophis ordered me to burn a village of Ra’s followers to the
ground.
33.17.00 DREY’AUC (OS)- You did this?
33.22.13 TEAL’C- Yes.
33.26.05 DREY’AUC (OS)- Then sleep well in the knowledge that you have served Apophis.
33.31.05 TEAL’C- I cannot close my eyes without seeing the innocent faces of women and
children who lived there. A Jaffa lived there also. A warrior named Va’lar.
33.50.14 DREY’AUC- No…
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 33
33.51.25 TEAL’C- I banished him to that village to save his life, only to take it away for fear that
Apophis would learn my secret. I put my own life before that of an entire village
– and that of a dear friend.
34.07.01 DREY’AUC (OS)- No, you had no choice.
34.08.27 TEAL’C- I did have a choice.
34.13.25 DREY’AUC (OS)- A son will soon be born to us, Teal’c.
DREY’AUC (CONT)- You must ensure that he has a father.
DREY’AUC (OS CONT)- Our son will be born into a real home --
DREY’AUC (CONT)- a gift from Apophis himself.
DREY’AUC (OS CONT)- It is the best life we can hope for.
34.38.10 TEAL’C- Then why am I so ashamed?
35.02.19 TEAL’C (OS)- Tekmate…
TEAL’C (CONT)- Master Bra’tac! Tekmate.
35.08.24 BRA’TAC- Apophis has made you his First Prime.
35.12.25 TEAL’C- You are not pleased.
35.14.05 BRA’TAC- No.
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 34
35.15.23 TEAL’C- There is no…
TEAL’C (CONT)- greater honor among Jaffa than to become First Prime to a God.
35.18.22 BRA’TAC- Ach! You know as well as I what the goa’uld truly are. We pretend, men
like you and I, so we may advance in rank and privilege.
BRA’TAC (OS CONT)- But do not pretend to me now. You know the truth.
BRA’TAC (CONT)- Can you look me in the face and say otherwise?
35.35.23 TEAL’C- My entire life you have prepared me for this day. Why?
35.40.04 BRA’TAC- I saw the spark of doubt in you.
BRA’TAC (OS CONT)- And the wisdom to keep that doubt unto yourself.
BRA’TAC (CONT)- I saw you play the game with those who would play God.
35.50.01 TEAL’C- And if I do not believe in him, how can I serve?
35.52.18 BRA’TAC- Because there is no other choice but to serve.
BRA’TAC (OS CONT)- The goa’uld are powerful. They have seen to it that we cannot
live without them…
BRA’TAC (CONT)- and so it may be for all time. But neither can they live without the
Jaffa. We are their true power.
36.08.01 TEAL’C- I do not understand.
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 35
36.09.25 BRA’TAC- Hmph. As First Prime, that power will be yours. When Apophis throws his
armies into the fire, you will be there to temper his sword. In so doing, you may
save countless lives, as I have done in my time.
36.24.16 TEAL’C- And you have done all these things against his will?
36.29.23 BRA’TAC- His will can be made to bend, but not always. I have done deeds for which
I cannot forgive even myself. As will you.
BRA’TAC (OS CONT)- Men such as you and I…
BRA’TAC (CONT)- have only the comfort of those times we make a difference. Make
a difference.
END OF ACT FOUR
ACT FIVE
37.29.04 TEAL’C- There.
37.33.19 BRA’TAC- Those are the humans who came through the chappa-ai? They do not
appear to be as formidable as I imagined.
37.42.10 TEAL’C- Their weapons are not of goa’uld design.
37.44.20 BRA’TAC- That may be so, Teal’c, but they are only three.
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 36
37.49.12 TEAL’C- There’s something more – a strength. They know the taste of freedom.
37.58.12 BRA’TAC- Your dreams of freedom will be your undoing, Teal’c.
38.03.13 TEAL’C- Perhaps so.
38.04.24 BRA’TAC (OS)- Pray…
BRA’TAC (CONT)- they are not chosen as hosts. That is the best fate you can wish
for them.
38.19.05 TEAL’C- What have I done?
38.27.09 DR. FRASIER- He’s in v fib! Get the cart!
38.30.01 CARTER- This is it!
38.31.23 O’NEILL- Get Bra’tac down here.
38.42.08 DR. FRASIER- I’m returning the symbiote.
38.43.19 BRA’TAC- Stand aside!
38.45.00 DR. FRASIER- If I don’t return it immediately --
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 37
38.46.18 BRA’TAC (INTERRUPTING)- Stand aside or his suffering will have been for nothing.
BRA’TAC (OS CONT)- This is the moment…
BRA’TAC (CONT)- when he must choose.
38.55.18 GENERAL HAMMOND- Stand aside…
GENERAL HAMMOND (OS CONT)- Doctor Frasier.
39.07.12 BRA’TAC- Choose now, Teal’c. Return to those who love freedom...
BRA’TAC (OS CONT)- or die in the name of a false God!
BRA’TAC (CONT)- Choose!
39.29.28 TEAL’C- (SPEAKS IN ALIEN LANGUAGE/SENTENCE ENDS WITH THE WORD
“Goa’uld!”)
39.35.11 BRA’TAC- Choose to be the warrior we know! Renounce Apophis and return to us!
39.41.17 DR. FRASIER- It’s now or never --
39.46.28 BRA’TAC- Choose! Very well.
40.06.09 DR. FRASIER- Let’s move.
40.08.18 APOPHIS- Kill the rest.
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 38
40.16.14 DR. FRASIER- The symbiote’s in.
40.18.20 RN (OS)- No change.
40.20.23 DR. FRASIER- We waited too long. Charge to…
DR. FRASIER (OS CONT)- 200.
40.22.28 RN (OS)- Charging.
40.26.19 DR. FRASIER- Clear!
DR. FRASIER (OS CONT)- No pulse.
DR. FRASIER (CONT)- Make it 360. Give me five of EPI.
40.39.26 RN- Charging.
40.42.01 DR. FRASIER- Clear!
40.44.05 O’NEILL- I can save…
O’NEILL (OS CONT)- these people!
O’NEILL (CONT)- Help me! Help me.
40.53.22 TEAL’C- Many have said that. But you are the first I believe…
TEAL’C (OS CONT)- could do it
TEAL’C (CONT)- I choose freedom.
STARGATE SG-1 – “THRESHOLD” (#4958) Page 39
41.40.03 BRA’TAC- The rite has succeeded. He has returned to us.
41.45.28 O’NEILL- Uhh, just out of curiosity, how d’you feel…
O’NEILL (OS CONT)- about -- ?
41.52.29 TEAL’C- Apophis is a false God. A dead false God.
42.08.14 O’NEILL- That’s good enough for me. Get him out of those restraints.
42.13.23 GENERAL HAMMOND- Thank you, Doctor. Well done.
42.16.13 DR. FRASIER- Yessir. I’m glad it worked out, too.
42.21.20 CARTER- Hey, Teal’c.
42.22.25 TEAL’C- Major Carter. Daniel Jackson. Tekmate.
42.34.28 BRA’TAC- My friend.
42.37.04 TEAL’C- General Hammond. I once again pledge my allegiance to you and the
people of this world. And I request permission to return to SG-1.
42.52.10 GENERAL HAMMOND- Permission granted.
45.55.02 FADE TO BLACK. BEGIN END CREDITS.
