01:00:07:00 TOMIN: She is Orici.

TEASER
01:00:37:11 (GATE ACTIVATION ALARM BLARES)
01:00:44:09 TEAL'C: Six more worlds have fallen to the Ori.
01:00:47:08 TEAL'C (CONT'D O/S): Two are Jaffa strongholds.
01:00:49:20 TEAL'C (CONT'D): They attempted to resist, but were overwhelmed within a
matter of hours. According to those who witnessed the battle, the enemy
is led by a young woman of extraordinary powers.
01:01:11:09 MITCHELL (O/S): Six…
01:01:11:18 MITCHELL (CONT'D): planets in eight days, and they don't even have their full
team in the field yet.
01:01:15:00 CARTER: Why haven't they made a move against Earth?
01:01:16:15 TEAL'C: In all probability, the Ancient device in Antarctica, is giving them pause.
01:01:19:20 MITCHELL: At least until the rest of their battle fleet gets here.
01:01:22:05 DANIEL (O/S): I got it! 4 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:01:23:20 DANIEL (CONT'D): I got it. I made the connection. Sir Gawain to Gwalchmei.
Culhwch and Olwen. Verus Gen Bree.
01:01:32:19 CARTER: And you say I'm hard to understand.
01:01:34:10 DANIEL: Oh, oh...It's Vagonbrei--one of the planets Arthur and his knights went to
in their quest for the Holy Grail. I got the gate address.

ACT ONE
01:03:05:11 DANIEL (O/S): While on…
01:03:06:10 DANIEL (CONT'D): PX1 767, we got the names of three planets, Castiana, Sahal
and Vagonbrei-- three possible destinations for Arthur and his knights in
their quest for the Holy Grail, what we know to be Merlin's weapon.
Unfortunately, what we didn't get were any corresponding gate
addresses, and the process of going through that library page by page
looking for clues could have potentially taken years.
01:03:24:25 DANIEL (CONT'D O/S): So I knew we were going to have to narrow the search
parameters a little.
01:03:27:19 DANIEL (CONT'D): That's when it hit me. Sir Gawain.
01:03:31:17 MITCHELL: Wasn't he one of the knights who says "Ni?"
01:03:33:10 DANIEL: He was a knight of the Round Table, and one his earliest incarnations,
an old Welsh tale, he went on a quest to help…
01:03:38:20 DANIEL (CONT'D O/S): rescue a lost love. The legend says that…
01:03:40:24 DANIEL (CONT'D): Sir Gawain, a.k.a. Gwalchmei, visited… 6 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:03:43:11 DANIEL (CONT'D O/S): several lands over the course of his adventure, including
a place called Gwlad gan brenhinol gwir, which is Welsh for "the land of
royal truth."
01:03:50:04 DANIEL (CONT'D): Translate that into Ancient, and you get "Verus Gen Bree--"
Vagonbrei.
01:03:55:10 CARTER (O/S): So how does that get us…
01:03:56:09 CARTER (CONT'D): a gate address?
01:03:57:10 DANIEL (O/S): Uh…
01:03:57:29 DANIEL (CONT'D): it doesn't, but it gave me something specific to look for in
Merlin's library, namely references to Gawain.
01:04:01:19 DANIEL (CONT'D O/S): Now, based on this information…
01:04:03:11 DANIEL (CONT'D): I started scanning through the titles, and I found this. Now, the
entire volume is dedicated to Gawain's adventures…
01:04:08:06 DANIEL (CONT'D O/S): and includes several very interesting illustrations…
01:04:10:01 DANIEL (CONT'D): including a depiction of a sword he…
01:04:11:26 DANIEL (CONT'D O/S): once carried. Note the symbols engraved on the blade. 7 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:04:15:01 LANDRY: A gate address.
01:04:16:03 MITCHELL: Vagonbrei.
01:04:17:02 DANIEL (O/S): Well, we won't know…
01:04:17:21 DANIEL (CONT'D): till we check it out.
01:04:18:09 LANDRY (O/S): Well done, doctor.
01:04:19:11 LANDRY (CONT'D): Colonel Carter, what's the status of the Ori supergate?
01:04:21:28 CARTER (O/S): Any attempts…
01:04:22:11 CARTER (CONT'D): we've made to dial out to the Ori galaxy have failed. It looks
like they're blocking us from their end.
01:04:27:01 TEAL'C: There is a mothership in the area that will alert us to the arrival of any
other ships.
01:04:30:21 LANDRY: More ships? We can hardly deal with the ones that are already here.
You have a go. Find that weapon.
01:04:36:02 CARTER: Yes, sir.
01:04:36:23 VALA: Will do. 8 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:04:38:08 LANDRY (O/S): I was talking to SG-1. You're…
01:04:39:27 LANDRY (CONT'D): not going anywhere.
01:04:47:20 (KNOCK ON DOOR)
01:04:56:03 DANIEL: General, I'm hoping you might reconsider your decision and allow Vala
to come with us.
01:05:01:25 LANDRY: Given everything she's put you through, you're the last person I would
have expected to ask me that.
01:05:06:20 DANIEL: Yes, sir, and I'm hoping that impresses on you just how strongly I feel
about this. Look, I-I know she's no angel.
01:05:14:23 DANIEL (CONT'D O/S): She's...she's lied, she's stolen, she's cheated, she's
misrepresented herself.
01:05:19:00 DANIEL (CONT'D): She's lied...but she also risked her life to warn us that the Ori
were on their way and almost sacrificed herself to shut down the very
first Ori supergate.
01:05:28:19 LANDRY: I understand the contribution she's made. The truth is, the Pentagon
isn't willing to roll the dice on her.
01:05:34:20 DANIEL: But you could convince them otherwise. 9 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:05:40:18 DANIEL (CONT'D): You see, 10 years ago, General Hammond sat in that very
chair, and he was faced with a similar decision. As former First Prime to
Apophis, Teal'c had committed some terrible crimes.
01:05:51:10 LANDRY: As the former First Prime to Apophis, Teal'c provided valuable…
01:05:54:09 LANDRY (CONT'D O/S): insight to the enemy's resources and tactics.
01:05:57:12 DANIEL: And as the mother to the leader of the Ori army, Vala may hold the key
to stopping them.
01:06:03:10 LANDRY: If I push this issue, and the Pentagon agrees to let her join you on off-
world missions, then I'd be the…
01:06:08:16 LANDRY (CONT'D O/S): one, ultimately, held accountable for her actions.
01:06:11:24 DANIEL: Yes, sir. I understand, sir.
01:06:17:11 LANDRY: So I'd be counting on you...to keep her in line.
01:06:25:08 DANIEL: Yes, sir.
01:06:27:20 (DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)
01:06:39:12 VALA (O/S): So can I go on the mission? 10 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:06:41:18 DANIEL: No. You're not cleared for off-world travel yet. You still have to go
through a psych evaluation.
01:06:46:05 VALA: What's that?
01:06:46:25 DANIEL: Uh, it's sort of an interview given to all prospective SGC personnel,
designed to assess a person's psychological state, get a sense of their
mental well-being.
01:06:54:22 VALA: Oh, to find out if I'm...Wonko.
01:06:59:10 DANIEL: Right. They're going to sit you down, get you talking about yourself, and
ask you a few questions.
01:07:03:25 VALA: So it's a test?
01:07:05:14 DANIEL: Sort of.
01:07:06:05 VALA: And all I have to do is pass. How hard can that be?
01:07:11:10 VALA (CONT'D O/S): I have to do some research, so I'm going to use…
01:07:12:28 VALA (CONT'D): your computer while you're away on this mission.
01:07:14:11 DANIEL (O/S): Uh. 11 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:07:14:20 DANIEL (CONT'D): You know, I'd prefer if you didn't. There's a lot of sensitive
material--
01:07:16:21 VALA (INTERRUPTING): Great. Uh…be careful!
01:07:19:12 MITCHELL: Time to go.
01:07:20:09 DANIEL: I said no, and you can't access it without my password!
01:07:22:10 VALA: Already got it. Thanks!
01:07:24:04 DANIEL (O/S): I...
01:07:24:21 DANIEL (CONT'D): But the...
01:07:31:11 (WORMHOLE TRANSITION)
01:07:41:07 MITCHELL (O/S): This place is deader than a Texas salad bar.
01:07:54:06 DANIEL (SHOUTING): Hello!
01:07:59:28 DANIEL (SHOUTING CONT'D O/S): Hello!
01:08:03:01 TEAL'C: It is obvious this village has long-since been abandoned.
01:08:12:20 (KNOCK ON DOOR) 12 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:08:15:12 VALA (O/S): General...What brings you by?
01:08:19:10 LANDRY: Just thought I'd see how you were getting along.
01:08:21:25 VALA (O/S): Huh.
01:08:22:27 LANDRY: What are you doing?
01:08:24:14 VALA (O/S): Just a little research for my upcoming mental appraisal.
01:08:27:11 LANDRY: Ah, you can't cram for a psychiatric evaluation.
01:08:31:00 VALA: That's what they want you to think.
01:08:34:00 VALA (CONT'D O/S): It's a battle of wits.
01:08:35:25 VALA (CONT'D): My mind against theirs. They'll try and confuse me with their trick
questions, but I already have the correct answers.
01:08:43:24 LANDRY: There are no correct answers.
01:08:45:18 VALA (O/S): For instance, when they ask me…
01:08:48:09 VALA (CONT'D): "What do you consider your biggest flaw?"
01:08:51:17 LANDRY: No, they won't ask that question. 13 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:08:53:07 VALA (O/S): My answer will be that I feel I am too much…
01:08:56:10 VALA (CONT'D): of a perfectionist. You see, I...I put a positive spin on a negative.
01:09:03:06 LANDRY: Yes, that was very transparent.
01:09:05:23 VALA (O/S): Question two. "You are in the desert. "You see a tortoise lying on his
back in the hot sun."
01:09:13:21 VALA (CONT'D): "You recognize his plight but do nothing to help. Why?"
Hmm...Why...Because you are also a tortoise.
01:09:50:27 DANIEL: Guys, you should take a look at this.
01:10:00:14 MITCHELL: Whoa. I thought I liked to sleep in.
END OF ACT ONE 14 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
ACT TWO
01:10:33:09 CARTER (O/S): Dr. Reimer...
01:10:34:09 REIMER (O/S): Colonel Carter, Colonel Mitchell. I understand you've got a bit of a
medical mystery on your hands.
01:10:39:28 MITCHELL (O/S): What we have here is a village full of skeletons.
01:10:42:03 CARTER (O/S): We found a few lying on the ground, but most seem to have died
in their beds. I think we can rule out violence.
01:10:47:18 REIMER: Anything left besides bones?
01:10:49:09 MITCHELL: Sorry, Doc, whatever happened here happened a long time ago.
01:10:52:04 REIMER: Let's go take a look.
01:11:05:05 TEAL'C (O/S): Did the village records give an indication…
01:11:06:29 TEAL'C (CONT'D): as to what befell these people?
01:11:08:19 DANIEL: No, but it does make mention of some Ancient lore tied to the area.
According to legend, a cave overlooking the village was once home to
Morgan Le Fay. 15 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:11:17:13 DANIEL (CONT'D): Ah. In Arthurian myth, Morgan was a powerful sorceress. King
Arthur's half-sister and an adversary of Merlin.
01:11:25:05 TEAL'C: That would suggest she may have had a hand in the disappearance of
the weapon we seek.
01:11:28:10 DANIEL: Now, Morgan, like Merlin, was a purported magic-user, so it makes
sense that, again like Merlin, she was once ascended.
01:11:34:23 TEAL'C: One who foresaw the dangers presented to her and her kind by a
weapon capable of…
01:11:38:09 TEAL'C (CONT'D O/S): destroying ascended beings.
01:11:39:27 DANIEL: So she took the weapon from Merlin and went into hiding.
01:11:42:12 TEAL'C: On three possible worlds. This being one.
01:11:46:13 DANIEL: We've got to find that cave.
01:11:53:13 ACKERMAN: Why did I have to tag along on this little hike?
01:11:55:29 MITCHELL: You got somewhere else you need to be?
01:11:58:10 ACKERMAN: Yeah, at home in bed. I got pulled off inoculation duty on 865 to
come here and pull a double shift. I've been up 18 hours straight. 16 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:12:11:03 DANIEL: What is it?
01:12:13:19 TEAL'C: Birds...
01:12:17:00 CARTER: What birds?
01:12:18:18 TEAL'C: My point exactly. I first noticed it in the village, now here in the forest as
well.
01:12:24:09 TEAL'C (CONT'D O/S): An unusual stillness.
01:12:26:20 TEAL'C (CONT'D): There are no birds, or any other animal life, for that matter.
01:12:31:21 MITCHELL: All right. So what happened to them?
01:12:44:29 HUTCHISON (O/S): Hmm...Vala...I'm Dr. Hutchison. Oh. Have a seat. So...How
are you feeling?
01:12:56:12 VALA: Very well. Very well. Well, you know, all things considered. I mean, you'd
assume I'd be a prime candidate for acculturation difficulty…
01:13:06:19 VALA (CONT'D O/S): enduring feelings of displacement and alienation.
01:13:11:20 VALA (CONT'D): Perhaps even a little paranoid ideation. Hmm?
01:13:16:04 VALA (CONT'D O/S): But the truth is… 17 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:13:17:15 VALA (CONT'D): I was able to adopt an abstract attitude, which allowed me to
release some of my repressed feelings, ultimately providing me with a
cathartic actualization. How are you feeling?
01:13:30:22 HUTCHISON: I'm fine.
01:13:41:25 MITCHELL: There's nothing here.
01:13:44:05 DANIEL: Maybe it's the wrong cavern. We should continue searching the area.
01:13:46:29 CARTER: It's getting dark out, Daniel. We should head back to the village.
01:13:51:18 MITCHELL: Ackerman...
01:13:54:15 MITCHELL (CONT'D O/S): Yo, Ackerman! Wake up.
01:13:56:25 ACKERMAN: What happened?
01:13:58:02 MITCHELL (O/S): We're done.
01:14:02:12 MITCHELL (CONT'D): Sorry, Jackson.
01:14:14:22 HUTCHISON: Are you familiar with ink blot tests?
01:14:17:25 HUTCHISON (CONT'D O/S): Okay. I'm going to show you a series of images… 18 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:14:20:19 HUTCHISON (CONT'D): and I just want you to say the first thing that comes to
your mind.
01:14:24:20 HUTCHISON (CONT'D O/S): Okay.
01:14:28:20 VALA: Courage.
01:14:37:21 VALA (CONT'D): Respect.
01:14:41:00 HUTCHISON: You look at this ink blot, and the first thing that pops into your head
is respect?
01:14:46:04 VALA: Yes. Respect.
01:14:48:11 HUTCHISON: Okay. Vala, this is called a projective test.
01:14:51:11 HUTCHISON (CONT'D O/S): It's designed to allow me a little insight into your
emotional state. I just want to get to know you better, not pass judgment
on you.
01:14:58:21 HUTCHISON (CONT'D): I want to help, but to do that, I'm going to need you to be
completely honest and spontaneous with your answers. Do you
understand?
01:15:05:11 VALA: Of course. 19 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:15:06:12 HUTCHISON (O/S): Okay.
01:15:07:02 VALA: I'm sorry.
01:15:07:20 HUTCHISON: Oh.
01:15:09:15 VALA: Kindness.
01:15:23:15 MITCHELL (V/O): Red team's wrapping it up.
01:15:25:20 MITCHELL (CONT'D O/S): Figured we'd do the same.
01:15:27:15 DANIEL: This can't be a dead end. There has to be something here.
01:15:31:16 MITCHELL: Take it up with Landry. You can come back tomorrow, knock yourself
out, strain your eyes all you want.
01:15:39:10 DANIEL: You're right. I could probably get a fresh start in the morning.
01:15:53:05 MITCHELL: All right, let's go home.
01:15:55:08 GRIMSBY (O/S): Hang on a minute. Where's Ackerman?
01:15:57:08 REIMER (SHOUTING): Ackerman, come on! Bernie!
01:16:09:10 MITCHELL: Ackerman...Let's go. Yo, Ackerman! Wake up. Come on. 20 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:16:31:08 MITCHELL (V/O): He's asleep. What the hell kind of diagnosis is that?
01:16:35:18 CARTER (V/O): Dr. Reimer says he won't know more until he's completed all the
bloodwork.
01:16:38:15 MITCHELL (O/S): There's got to be something more to it, like a coma.
01:16:41:15 REIMER (O/S): No, I'm afraid not. Coma patients don't respond to…
01:16:45:10 REIMER (CONT'D): outside stimuli-pain, sound, touch. Ackerman responds to all
three. He even flinches, reacts in his sleep state.
01:16:52:20 DANIEL (O/S): Why can't we wake him…
01:16:53:11 DANIEL (CONT'D): up?
01:16:54:01 REIMER (O/S): I don't know. I need to do more tests before I can say anything…
01:16:56:24 REIMER (CONT'D): for sure, and we have to contact Stargate Command and
have them send out the necessary equipment.
01:17:01:22 MITCHELL: I'm sorry, is that not something you'd be better off doing back at the
base?
01:17:05:15 REIMER: Ideally, yes, but, unfortunately, and just like Ackerman here, all of our
bloodwork shows an elevated white cell count… 21 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:17:12:21 REIMER (CONT'D O/S): and a marked increase in serotonin levels.
01:17:15:10 REIMER (CONT'D): Whatever it is, we've all been infected.
01:17:20:01 CARTER: You think this is the same thing that killed the villagers?
01:17:23:05 REIMER: Let's just say, for the time being, I recommend we all try and stay awake
for as long as possible.
01:17:29:03 REIMER (CONT'D O/S): If we fall asleep, we may never wake up.
END OF ACT TWO 22 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
ACT THREE
01:17:54:07 LANDRY (O/S): We're sending the medical supplies through now, Colonel.
01:17:56:25 MITCHELL (V/O OVER RADIO): Roger that, sir.
01:17:58:05 LANDRY (O/S): Sure you don't want a little more help? I can send another team in
hazmat.
01:18:02:07 MITCHELL (V/O OVER RADIO): Until we know what we're dealing with, sir, that
would just be risking more lives. We can handle it.
01:18:07:03 LANDRY: Understood.
01:18:16:27 GRIMSBY: I'm awake. I'm awake...
01:18:21:03 MITCHELL: Compliments of Dr. Lam. We have...dextroampheta-something, moto-
whatchamacallit, caffeine pills, and good old-fashioned coffee.
01:18:38:28 MITCHELL (CONT'D): Go easy there, Grimsby.
01:18:40:14 GRIMSBY: How long have you been awake for?
01:18:41:29 MITCHELL: don't know, what...24 hours?
01:18:44:02 GRIMSBY: Yeah, talk to me when you get to 40. 23 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:18:51:01 CARTER: You've pulled all-nighters…
01:18:51:29 CARTER (CONT'D O/S): before, right?
01:18:53:10 MITCHELL: Yeah, loads of them.
01:18:55:05 CARTER: This feels worse, doesn't it?
01:18:58:04 MITCHELL: Yeah, I thought it was only me.
01:18:59:08 TEAL'C: I, too, am more fatigued than I would have expected.
01:19:01:19 CARTER: It has to be the infection. It doesn't just keep you from waking up. It
makes you want to sleep in the first place.
01:19:07:11 MITCHELL: Well, in that case...Teal'c?
01:19:10:14 TEAL'C: I prefer to rely on my Tretonin.
01:19:14:09 MITCHELL: Cheers. Reimer...
01:19:18:10 MITCHELL (CONT'D): What you got?
01:19:19:07 REIMER (O/S): Since we started monitoring him, Ackerman has been in stage-
four level… 24 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:19:23:05 REIMER (CONT'D): what they call Delta sleep, or Slow Wave sleep.
01:19:27:08 CARTER (O/S): We also noted that his brain…
01:19:28:11 CARTER (CONT'D): is producing a surprising amount of melatonin. It's a hormone
synthesized from serotonin, a sleep-inducing agent. That's what's
keeping him…
01:19:35:10 CARTER (CONT'D O/S): asleep.
01:19:36:09 MITCHELL: So all you've got to do is figure out why his brain is producing the
melatonin.
01:19:39:12 CARTER (O/S): We're working…
01:19:40:02 CARTER (CONT'D): on it.
01:19:43:14 MITCHELL: Jackson...What did you find in the town records?
01:19:46:05 DANIEL: Uh, a handwritten entry from the village doctor in which he mentions a
sleeping sickness that affected the town.
01:19:52:01 DANIEL (CONT'D O/S): Now, he doesn't go into any great detail… 25 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:19:53:22 DANIEL (CONT'D): but it does make mention of a possible source for what was
happening-- Morgan Le Fay. See, it seems the villagers believed she
cursed them for revealing her whereabouts when King Arthur and his
knights came looking for her.
01:20:04:10 MITCHELL: So did Arthur find her here?
01:20:06:09 DANIEL (O/S): Probably not. If the villagers believed she cursed them, then it's
more than likely she escaped.
01:20:10:21 DANIEL (CONT'D): In any case, we have to go back to that cave.
01:20:17:00 VALA: General...
01:20:18:02 VALA (CONT'D O/S): Just wondering if they've reached a decision on…
01:20:19:27 VALA (CONT'D): my mental well-being yet.
01:20:21:25 LANDRY (O/S): Dr. Hutchison isn't finished with you yet.
01:20:23:27 LANDRY (CONT'D): You're to meet with him again later today.
01:20:30:29 VALA (O/S): If I may speak candidly, General.
01:20:33:21 VALA (CONT'D): I have a feeling that Dr. Hutchison is somewhat troubled. 26 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:20:38:21 VALA (CONT'D O/S): In fact, I think he may be suffering from …
01:20:41:11 VALA (CONT'D): Klinefelter's syndrome, though you didn't hear it from me.
01:20:44:21 LANDRY (O/S): The only thing…
01:20:45:11 LANDRY (CONT'D): Dr. Hutchison is suffering from is the headache you gave
him.
01:20:49:19 LANDRY (CONT'D O/S): I suggest you stop playing games and start taking this
evaluation very seriously.
01:20:54:00 VALA: I thought I was.
01:20:55:09 LANDRY: Let's call that delusional memory.
01:21:08:23 MITCHELL: You know, it was Jackson's idea to come back here and check this
cave out again. I can't help noticing he's the only one who didn't make
the trip.
01:21:15:03 TEAL'C: Daniel Jackson made it clear that his time would be better spent
continuing his research of the town records.
01:21:22:06 CARTER (O/S): Here.
01:21:23:28 CARTER (CONT'D): Dr. Reimer wanted us to take some soil samples. 27 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:21:28:09 MITCHELL: Why?
01:21:29:06 CARTER: Just in case this is where Ackerman picked up the infection.
01:21:45:16 VALA: Hmm.
01:21:48:20 (KNOCK ON DOOR)
01:21:50:16 VALA (CONT'D): Hello.
01:21:53:12 WOOLSEY: Hello. May I have a moment of your time?
01:21:56:09 VALA: Oh, I'm sorry, I'm just on my way out. I've got a meeting.
01:21:58:15 WOOLSEY: With Dr. Hutchison. I know. That's why I'm here. I promise to be
quick.
01:22:05:07 WOOLSEY (CONT'D): My name is Richard Woolsey. I work for the International
Oversight Advisory…
01:22:09:00 WOOLSEY (CONT'D O/S): a civilian-run organization made up of representatives
from the various nations involved in the Stargate Program.
01:22:14:21 VALA: And what can I do for you, Mr. Woolsey? 28 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:22:17:00 WOOLSEY: Why don't I tell you what we can do for you. We can see to it that you
pass your psychiatric evaluation with flying colors…
01:22:27:24 WOOLSEY (CONT'D O/S): effectively putting any doubts Stargate Command may
have about you to rest.
01:22:33:06 VALA: And what would you want in return?
01:22:38:11 WOOLSEY: Just a little insight into the weekly goings-on here at Stargate
Command.
01:22:43:12 WOOLSEY (CONT'D O/S): You see, despite the fact that all signatories to the…
01:22:46:19 WOOLSEY (CONT'D): Gate Alliance Treaty are de facto partners in the Stargate
Program, my employers are often left out of the…
01:22:54:00 WOOLSEY (CONT'D O/S): loop when it comes to the more sensitive
developments here on the base.
01:22:58:04 WOOLSEY (CONT'D): We'd just like you to keep us updated is all.
01:23:01:25 VALA: So you want me...to be a spy.
01:23:16:09 WOOLSEY: I've read your file, Ms. Mal Doran. I don't think what we're asking is…
01:23:20:05 WOOLSEY (CONT'D O/S): that unusual, for someone with such a colorful history. 29 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:23:33:17 (DEVICE BEEPING)
01:23:35:10 CARTER: Cam, Teal'c? I think I found something.
01:23:42:20 MITCHELL (O/S): Whatcha got?
01:23:43:22 CARTER: Well, it's a faint energy spike. I almost went past without noticing it.
01:23:59:21 MITCHELL: Shazam.
01:24:05:17 CARTER: I guess Daniel was right after all.
01:24:07:27 MITCHELL (O/S): Yes, he was.
01:24:11:03 MITCHELL (CONT'D): We should check this out.
01:24:12:20 TEAL'C: Would it not be prudent for one of us to return these samples to Dr.
Reimer as quickly as possible?
01:24:17:01 MITCHELL (O/S): No, he's right.
01:24:18:09 MITCHELL (CONT'D): We're on the clock, and we have no idea how deep this
hole is.
01:24:22:04 CARTER: All right, I'll go back…Stay in radio contact. 30 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:24:28:15 CARTER (CONT'D O/S): At least as long as you can.
01:24:43:28 VALA: Do you really think these will hold me?
01:24:46:08 HUTCHISON: Oh, those aren't restraints. We're hooking you up to a polygraph.
It's also known as a lie...
01:24:50:27 HUTCHISON (CONT'D O/S): detector It measures certain variables, like blood
pressure…
01:24:53:27 HUTCHISON (CONT'D): and heart rate, to determine whether you're being truthful
or not.
01:24:56:19 VALA: Oh...I see.
01:24:59:15 HUTCHISON: All right. Let's get started…
01:25:00:06 HUTCHISON (CONT'D O/S): then, shall we?
01:25:03:22 HUTCHISON (CONT'D): And…
01:25:04:14 HUTCHISON (CONT'D O/S): what's your name?
01:25:06:19 VALA: Vala Mal Doran.
01:25:10:04 HUTCHISON (O/S): Where did you spend the last week on Earth? 31 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:25:13:18 VALA: Here at Stargate Command.
01:25:17:22 HUTCHISON: Have you ever stolen anything?
01:25:20:09 VALA: No.
01:25:21:10 (NEEDLE SCRATCHING FURIOUSLY)
01:25:25:20 VALA (O/S): That depends on how you define…
01:25:27:15 VALA (CONT'D): "stolen."
01:25:28:23 HUTCHISON (O/S): These are control questions, designed to gauge your reaction
by eliciting both…
01:25:32:21 HUTCHISON (CONT'D): truthful and deceptive answers from you. You're doing
fine.
01:25:35:26 HUTCHISON (CONT'D O/S): Just...try to relax.
01:25:43:28 HUTCHISON (CONT'D): You look very nice today.
01:25:46:10 VALA: Oh...Thank you. You're looking rather dashing yourself.
01:25:51:12 HUTCHISON: Oh, thanks. 32 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:25:52:10 (NEEDLE SCRATCHING FURIOUSLY)
01:25:56:27 VALA: I mean…nice. I-I-I mean, not objectionable.
01:26:05:21 (NEEDLE STILL SCRATCHING)
01:26:14:08 REIMER: Colonel, come take a look at this. This was in that soil sample you
brought back from the cave.
01:26:23:18 CARTER (O/S): What is it?
01:26:25:21 REIMER (O/S): I believe…
01:26:26:19 REIMER (CONT'D): it's a parasite.
01:26:29:29 CARTER: Is it dead?
01:26:31:04 REIMER: No, it's dormant. Ackerman may have somehow awakened one.
01:26:37:18 CARTER: Well, how? It doesn't seem to respond to movement.
01:26:40:27 REIMER: Excuse me. Let's see what happens when they come in contact...
01:26:50:09 REIMER (CONT'D O/S): with live tissue.
01:27:01:06 CARTER: Whoa. 33 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:27:02:24 REIMER: I'll lay odds that's your culprit right there.
01:27:07:01 CARTER: These people would have had no understanding of microbiology.
01:27:10:19 CARTER (CONT'D O/S): They probably came up with the story of Morgan's curse
because they couldn't comprehend what was happening to them. Hey...
01:27:20:26 CARTER (CONT'D): Where's Grimsby?
01:27:23:10 DANIEL: He said he was on his way back. He isn't here?
01:27:27:08 DANIEL (CONT'D): Oh, no.
01:27:42:28 TEAL'C: Perhaps we should rest.
01:27:48:02 MITCHELL: No. That's a bad idea, and I am starting to regret staying up late to
watch Deuce Bigelow: European Gigolo last night. Check that, I regretted
it almost immediately.
01:28:04:00 MITCHELL (CONT'D): Am I imagining things, or--
01:28:05:15 TEAL'C: I heard it as well.
01:28:16:11 DANIEL (SHOUTING): Grimsby!…Sam? 34 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:28:37:21 DANIEL (CONT'D O/S): Well, we found Grimsby. He's asleep, and we can't wake
him.
01:28:44:11 CARTER: Dr. Reimer? What's wrong? Has his condition changed?
01:28:52:21 REIMER: You could say that…He's dead.
END OF ACT THREE 35 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
ACT FOUR
01:29:23:10 REIMER (O/S): I see evidence of a ruptured aneurysm near the pineal gland.
01:29:27:20 CARTER (O/S): There's something else in here.
01:29:37:18 REIMER (O/S): What the hell?
01:29:39:12 CARTER (O/S): Morphology is identical to…
01:29:40:21 CARTER (CONT'D): the parasite we found in the soil sample.
01:29:43:07 REIMER: Only it's grown a thousand times bigger.
01:29:55:08 WOOLSEY: I'm assuming things didn't go well.
01:30:08:25 VALA: I fail to see the point of that ridiculous exercise unless its purpose was to
thoroughly humiliate me.
01:30:18:10 VALA (CONT'D O/S): Those questions weren't…
01:30:19:10 VALA (CONT'D): intended to shed light on my character or delve deeply into my
subconscious. They were merely little reminders as to exactly why...I
don't belong here. 36 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:30:37:02 WOOLSEY: Then I take it you've carefully considered our offer and come to a
decision.
01:30:44:12 VALA: I have.
01:30:57:10 MITCHELL (O/S): Whoa.
01:31:09:12 MITCHELL (O/S CONT'D): Okay, question. If what took out…
01:31:15:09 MITCHELL (CONT'D): the village is what killed all the wildlife around here, how
come that little sucker's alive and kicking?
01:31:22:06 TEAL'C: It may possess a natural immunity to this mysterious affliction.
01:31:24:27 MITCHELL (O/S): Yeah, that's exactly my point.
01:31:26:00 MITCHELL (CONT'D): So, all we got to do is catch Joe Bob there, take him back
up to Carter and…
01:31:34:01 MITCHELL (CONT'D O/S): Reemer--Reimer, whatever.
01:31:37:02 MITCHELL (CONT'D): They reverse-engineer an antidote, and...Bob's your uncle.
We sleep till Tuesday.
01:31:42:10 TEAL'C (O/S): Indeed. 37 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:31:47:09 MITCHELL (INTO RADIO): Carter, it's Mitchell.
01:31:53:17 TEAL'C: We have progressed too far within the cave…
01:31:54:25 TEAL'C (CONT'D O/S): system.
01:31:56:05 MITCHELL: Yes, we have. All right, well, we'll...
01:31:59:15 MITCHELL (CONT'D O/S): nab junior first, then we'll call Carter when we get back
up to the surface.
01:32:25:00 DANIEL: Progress?
01:32:26:23 CARTER: We've been theorizing that when the parasite enters the bloodstream, it
triggers the body's immune response and the production of serotonin.
Then it makes its way to the patient's brain, where it lodges and feeds.
01:32:40:29 DANIEL: Feeds? On what?
01:32:46:20 REIMER: Melatonin. Our analysis showed the parasite we removed from
Ackerman gorged itself on the stuff.
01:32:52:22 CARTER (O/S): It stimulates the production of melatonin which floods the body.
That's why the urge to sleep is so powerful… 38 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:32:58:21 CARTER (CONT'D): and once you give in, the parasite just keeps on feeding
until...
01:33:07:16 CARTER (CONT'D): the engorged parasite affects the surrounding cranial tissue,
eventually provoking a lethal aneurysm.
01:33:13:20 CARTER (CONT'D O/S): But...we're…
01:33:16:09 CARTER (CONT'D): thinking that it may be possible to starve out the parasite, so
to that end…
01:33:20:28 CARTER (CONT'D O/S): we have isolated a specimen that we awakened from a
dormant state.
01:33:26:21 CARTER (CONT'D): Dr. Reimer?
01:33:28:13 CARTER (SHOUTING CONT'D O/S): Dr. Reimer!
01:33:33:03 CARTER (O/S CONT'D): It's his heart!
01:33:45:03 (DEFIBRILLATOR WHINES AS IT CHARGES)
01:34:00:02 DANIEL: Sam...
01:34:03:11 DANIEL (CONT'D): He's dead. 39 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:34:17:09 VALA: Oh, I'm sorry.
01:34:18:08 HUTCHISON (O/S): Ah, Vala.
01:34:19:10 VALA: Oh, not you again.
01:34:20:15 HUTCHISON: Uh, you know, you have another scheduled appointment.
01:34:22:25 VALA: What would be the point of that? You people have already made up your
minds about me.
01:34:25:24 HUTCHISON: Is that what you think?
01:34:27:15 VALA: Well, it's not like I haven't encountered this sort of thing before. You know, I
saw it every day in the eyes of the people who couldn't separate me from
the Goa'uld who enslaved them. So, you know, instead of becoming a
victim of their arrogance and stupidity, I chose to take advantage of it, so
I lied, I cheated, and I stole. I'm not going to apologize for it, and to be
perfectly honest with you, I can't guarantee that I won't do it again. All
right?
01:34:51:18 VALA (CONT'D O/S): Of course…
01:34:52:17 VALA (CONT'D): I have recently found myself risking my life…
01:34:55:15 VALA (CONT'D O/S): for something other than my own personal benefit. 40 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:34:58:06 VALA (CONT'D): Maybe it's just a phase--Hold it, please--or maybe it's because,
for the first time, I've actually met someone who, in some small way,
actually believes in me, but I'm sure you're right. I'm sure it will pass.
What?
01:35:13:20 HUTCHISON: Hmm.
01:35:15:26 CARTER (O/S): Daniel! You can't fall asleep. Do you hear me?
01:35:19:22 DANIEL: Yeah.
01:35:24:07 CARTER (O/S): Uh...We can't take any more of these either. With our serotonin
and melatonin levels spiking, it's too dangerous.
01:35:31:11 CARTER (CONT'D): We're going to have to rely on each other, all right?
01:35:35:00 DANIEL: Okay.
01:36:01:17 MITCHELL: Easy there...Easy...Don't worry. I'm not going to hurt you.
01:36:11:26 (MITCHELL LUNGES FOR THE LIZARD)
01:36:17:27 TEAL'C: I've got it, Colonel Mitchell!
01:36:27:26 TEAL'C (CONT'D): On your feet, Colonel Mitchell. There is much ground to cover
if we are to reach the surface. 41 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:36:32:05 MITCHELL: No, you...You go ahead without me. I'm just going to...I'm just going
to stay here.
01:36:38:18 TEAL'C: Then I will carry you if I must.
01:36:41:00 MITCHELL: Forget it. No...
01:36:45:16 MITCHELL (CONT'D O/S): Tretonin or not, it's going to catch up…
01:36:48:09 MITCHELL (CONT'D): with you at some point. The important thing for you is to
take Curly back to Carter and...what's his name, and get them started on
the cure.
01:37:00:05 TEAL'C: Indeed. I will return for you, Colonel Mitchell.
01:37:08:01 MITCHELL: And I'll be...right here...waiting for you.
01:37:20:02 DANIEL (O/S): Sam! Sam...
01:37:22:13 CARTER: I can't do it anymore.
01:37:24:11 DANIEL: We have to. You got to hang in there just a little while longer.
01:37:35:14 MED TECH: In here! Dr. Jackson, Colonel Carter, where's the rest of your team?
01:37:40:11 DANIEL (O/S): Reimer and… 42 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:37:40:29 DANIEL (CONT'D): Ackerman are dead. Teal'c and Mitchell went to the caves.
01:37:44:10 MED TECH: What caves?
01:37:48:22 MED TECH (CONT'D O/S): Get them in the isolation pods.
01:37:54:20 CARTER: No, wait. Wait.
01:38:00:29 CARTER (CONT'D O/S): No, wait.
01:38:03:14 CARTER (CONT'D): We can't go to sleep.
01:38:05:25 MED TECH: It's okay. We'll take care of you.
01:38:08:05 CARTER (O/S): No, you don't understand.
01:38:10:10 CARTER (CONT'D): The parasite. It feeds on...

01:38:51:21 (BREATHING IN SHALLOW GASPS)
01:40:13:11 MED TECH: Take it easy, Teal'c. We've got you. Take it easy.
01:40:19:09 MED TECH (CONT'D): We've got some sort of animal here.
01:40:21:16 MED TECH 2 (O/S): We need to take it to the lab.
01:40:32:12 MITCHELL: Yeah, I was getting worked up, cussing at Teal'c, telling him to, "Go
on. Leave me." Must have been 20 minutes before I realized he had
gone, and I was sitting there talking to myself.
01:40:44:19 DANIEL (O/S): What about you? Any hallucinations?
01:40:46:19 CARTER: Yeah, when they put me into the pod, I imagined I was being put in a
coffin. I thought I was being buried alive.
01:40:51:21 LANDRY (O/S): Well, rise…
01:40:52:17 LANDRY (CONT'D): and shine. How are you feeling?
01:40:55:02 MITCHELL (O/S): Rested and raring to go…
01:40:55:27 MITCHELL (CONT'D): sir. 44 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:40:56:23 LANDRY (O/S): I assume Dr. Lam…
01:40:57:28 LANDRY (CONT'D): got you up to speed.
01:40:58:20 CARTER (O/S): Yes, sir…
01:40:59:28 CARTER (CONT'D): between the sample they collected from…
01:41:01:10 CARTER (CONT'D O/S): Teal'c and the research Dr. Reimer and I conducted…
01:41:03:24 CARTER (CONT'D): they were able to produce a serum that effectively isolated
the parasite and starved it…
01:41:07:17 CARTER (CONT'D O/S): out.
01:41:08:02 MITCHELL (O/S): I just hate that--that cave…
01:41:09:15 MITCHELL (CONT'D): was a dead end. We went through all that for nothing.
01:41:11:11 DANIEL (O/S): I wouldn't say that exactly. I did find one reference in that library…
01:41:14:13 DANIEL (CONT'D): that might prove to be useful--Atlantis.
01:41:17:24 CARTER: You think the location of Merlin's weapon is hidden in their database?
01:41:20:27 DANIEL: I think it's worth checking out. 45 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002

01:41:26:20 CARTER (INTO PHONE): Carter.

01:41:30:14 CARTER (CONT'D INTO PHONE): We'll be right there.
01:41:32:29 CARTER (CONT'D): There seems to be a problem in the gate room, sir.

01:41:47:18 VALA (SCREAMING CONT'D): me come in there! You stop it.
01:41:49:10 LANDRY: What's going on?
01:41:52:05 VALA (O/S): I'm leaving.
01:41:53:13 VALA (CONT'D): I'm not staying somewhere where I'm not welcome, and don't
even think about making me stay against my will.
01:41:58:00 LANDRY (O/S): Wouldn't dream of it but I figured you'd want to… 46 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:42:00:19 LANDRY (CONT'D): stay after going though all the trouble of passing the
psychiatric evaluation.
01:42:06:12 VALA: I passed?
01:42:07:17 LANDRY: Dr. Hutchison seems to think that you have a lot of potential.
01:42:12:11 VALA: He does?
01:42:13:10 LANDRY (O/S): He feels you can make a significant contribution here at
Stargate…
01:42:16:19 LANDRY (CONT'D): Command, and I agree.
01:42:20:07 DANIEL: Congratulations.
01:42:29:22 VALA: I...I'm a little...overwhelmed.
01:42:36:13 VALA (CONT'D O/S): But as my…
01:42:37:21 VALA (CONT'D): first official act, I'd like to report a rather disagreeable little man.
01:42:42:18 WOOLSEY: That would be me.
01:42:43:23 LANDRY (O/S): Mr. Woolsey's offer was part of the test. 47 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:42:46:01 LANDRY (CONT'D): We wanted to make sure we could trust you.
01:42:50:16 VALA: I knew that, but were his sexual advances part of the test?
01:42:54:07 WOOLSEY: What? That's...
01:42:55:18 WOOLSEY (CONT'D O/S): General, I can assure you--
01:42:56:22 VALA (O/S): Well, I would have considered playing along, but some of his
requests…
01:42:59:26 VALA (CONT'D): were...well, a little unusual, even for me.
01:43:04:23 WOOLSEY: General…
01:43:05:11 WOOLSEY (CONT'D O/S): I would never...General...General, wait....
01:43:11:12 VALA: So when do I get one of these SG-1 badges?
01:43:15:09 MITCHELL You don't.
01:43:16:24 MITCHELL (CONT'D O/S): You're not a member of SG-1.
01:43:19:21 MITCHELL (CONT'D): You're a probationary member of Stargate Command who
will be subject to some very intensive scrutiny for the next few months. 48 STARGATE SG-1 - "Morpheus" - Episode #1002
01:43:26:09 VALA: Oh.
01:43:28:12 MITCHELL: Don't screw up.
01:43:36:15 MITCHELL (CONT'D): And welcome aboard.
01:43:40:00 VALA (O/S): See, I still think it's cause for celebration, so I say we go out…
01:43:43:03 VALA (CONT'D): have lunch, and I'll pay.
01:43:45:21 MITCHELL: Pay with what exactly?
01:43:47:27 VALA: Well, Daniel will cover me until I get my share of the loot.
01:43:53:09 DANIEL: Loot?
01:43:55:17 VALA (O/S): Yeah, from all the treasures we're going to bring back from our off-
world travels. What, I have to wait until I'm off probation before I can start
collecting?
