"STARGATE" (1994)

A group of HUNTERS returning from a kill march towards a small campsite. The tribes people rushing to greet them.

A BLAZING FIRE - LATER THAT NIGHT

Silhouetted tribesmen dancing in bizarre animal MASKS. Feet STOMPING. The young Boy stares at the fire, SPARKS rising into the air. We PAN UP ta a full moon. Suddenly a PYRAMID *

shaped SHADOW crosses over the moon, blotting 1t out. :

The young Soy sleeps. Above him hangs an odd carving that slowly begins to RATTLE. The tent's fabric pegins to FLAP.

The Boy's eyes pop open. He HEARS the sounds of a quickly

brewing storm. Footsteps. People hurrying, calling out to each other. Suddenly the tent's entrance flap SAILS OPEN.

BRIGHT LIGHT pours in through the entrance.

The Boy exits his tent, staring at the light, intrigued. A storm building all around. Unnatural and eerie.

Panicked, the tribesmen run in fear, racing away from the light. The Medicine man, on his knees CHANTING.

Super up: GIZA, EGYPT - 1928

PROFESSOR UANGFORD and his nine year old daughter CATHERINE,

who reads from a thick text book, are RATTLING in the back seat.

The car SCREECHES to a halt. The passenger door opens and Professor Langford JUMPS out. Catherine follows.

As they make their way down the ravine we slowly reveal the breadth of this work site. Hundreds of Arab men digging away in the sand.

FOREMAN TAYLOR

Is crouched on the ground dusting off three large TABLETS covered in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. Professor Langford walks up behind him, staring in awe.

Cover stones. We found them this afternoon,

Behind them, Catherine walks over to a small table, examining several other artifacts. She picks up a small GOLDEN SUN DISK; the EYE OF RA emblazoned on a gold disk.

Slowly we TRACK across the sand, over to a group of workers struggling to secure ropes onto something hidden beyond our view. Suddenly the ropes grow taut as <=hey begin to lift. LARGE METALLIC RING 12 over twenty feet in diameter. The RING 1s slowly lifted out of the pit revealing its shape and structure. It doesn't seem to belong to ancient Egypt. And perhaps not even this world. ANGLE - TAYLOR AND LANGFORD 13 As they stare in wonder. Young Catherine squeezes in between the two. LANGFORD (whispering) What is that thing, Taylor? TAYLOR I wish [ knew. THE RING 14 as it's lifted upright, suspended above them. An amazing Sight. Just as it's secured, the workers start YELLING OUT, quickly backing away from the pit. Taylor yells out at them in Arapic, but they scurry away. Slowly Taylor and Langford approach the pit, looking down into it. They SEE... TWISTED SHAPES 15 of bone and metal, meshed into the solid rock below. A strange metallic jackel shaped helmet looking up at us, crushed into the stone, unearthly and ominous.

We PAN DOWN from the skyline to a small park. A grey LIMOUSINE makes its way down a small street.

PAPERS

Clumsily a stack papers are organized atop a man's lap and liftea as the man attempts to make his way out of his seat.

He stands and exits the auditorium. As others in the audience join him, passing the Elderly Woman as they exit.

There is an awkward silence as Daniel searches for an answer.

But as Daniel looks up from his material he SEES the last several people left in the room, filing out the back door.

WIDE ANGLE - DANIEL AT PODIUM

Alone in the room, Daniel stands at the podium. Sadly he slowly closes his text.

DISSOLVE TO;

His books and papers in one hand, his only bag of luggage in the other, a dejected Daniel steps outside. Just as he moves away from the building CRACK, lighting. A DOWNPOUR of RAIN.

Getting soaked, Daniel looks up to the sky as if to say, "What else can happen?" He steps forward just as a tall, imposing soldier, LT. KAWALSKY blocks his path.

Before he can answer, another tough looking soldier, LT.

FERETTI comes up from behind. Pinned in, Daniel turns to Kawalsky.

Daniel moves towards the door.

Daniel freezes, turns back to Catherine, surprised.

Meyers moves over to the back wall and pulls down a sheet that was covering... _

Feretti squints, trying to understand when suddenly SMASH, the butt end of a WEAPON, knocks him out.

The sand storm continues to surround the village.

Seated on a stool in the middie of the room, Daniel is beget by the Elderly town's women who fuses over him with wash cloths and combs.

The Elderly women retreat, bowing and giggling as they exit. Daniel breaths a sigh of relief. Suddenly he HEARS some WHISPERING.

Daniel rusnes over, picking up her robe. He wraps it back arouna her, covering her. She doesn't understana. She looks at him, scared she’s displeased him.

Realz:zing sne can‘t understand, Daniel gently turns her back towards the entrance, tenaerly escorting ner. At the curtain he turns to her.

Her eyes fill with tears. Daniel opens the curtains for her to leave, revealing...

Daniel waves and bows as he escorts Sari BACK into his chamber. Quickly he SHUTS the curtains behind him. Now Sari is totally confused. Again she starts to disrobe.

Daniel motions for her to sit down on the sleeping mat. She

O'Neil stands by the window, watching the storm. Skaara enters from behind, watching him. O'Neil pulls out a pack of cigarettes, lights one. As the lighter ignites, Skaara jumps back, frigntened. O'Ne1ll spins, sees Skaara's reaction.

O'Neill tosses the laghter to Skaara. He lights it over and over again. Skaara picks up O'Neil's cigarettes and takes out out. He lights it, mimicking O'Neil.

O'Neil casts a sidelong glance at the hoy. He sits down and leans his nead back against the wall. Skaara does the same thing. O'‘Neil flicks the ash of his cigarette. Skaara copies his every move.

Skaara ana O'Neil sit there for a moment. Skaara‘s starting to feel pretty confident by this point. O'Neil sees this. He takes a deep drag off his cigarette and audibly INHALES, deeply, exnaling a cloud of smoke.

There is anotner awkward pause.

She doesn't understand. Daniel kneels down and DRAWS a pyramid in the sand covered floor. Again, Sari only stares at it. Daniel grows frustrated and walks to the window. Sari keeps staring at the drawing. She reaches over and draws something over it.

Slowly Daniel turns back, curious to see Sari augmenting the drawing. He moves close to see she's drawn a circle and a

A torch in ner hand, Sari leads Daniel over to the end of a small street at the side of the village. Behind a stairwell, she shows Daniel a large boulder leaning against the wall. She tries to PUSH IT. Daniel nelps her and together they move it way from the wall revealing a small TUNNEL.

Sari points down the stairs. Daniel takes the torch and walks down, Sari following. At the bottom of the stairs they reach a dirt covered WALL. The SYMBOL for Earth engraved in 1ts center. Astonishec, Daniel runs his fingers around the surrounding wall. Reasizing it’s a door, Daniel 1s able to dig into the door, giving him something to grip. He PULLS with all his might.

There's a long pause. O'Neil lifts a small pair of binoculars and SEES the half buried base camp, destroyed and abandoned. Suddenly O'Neil SNAPS a clip into his rifle.

Before he can finish O'Neil suddenly TAKES OFF, scurrying bs down the dunes, making his way to the pyramid entrance. +

Daniel swallows hard. Behind them, Kawalsky and Brown creep down the opposite row of columns, weapons ready. Just as they pass we see a SHADOW move across the wall behind them.

The Shepherd boys sneak up the side of the structure. Skaara creeps up a dune over to a small window, Nabeh trailing the group. DANIEL AND O'NEIL 206 pressed against a column.

Sari sits under the torch light, sadly reading the hieroglyphs. Creeping in behind her, Skaara, Nabeh and some of the other Shepherd boys enter.

Skaara puts his hand on Sari's shoulder. Sari turns, sees him and the others behind her. Slowiy she stands, her expression different, determined.

Walking past the hieroglyphs, Sari reads to them the history of their people. The Boys listen, fascinated as they learn the truth about themselves.

Sari ends the story at a drawing of Anubis and Ra. She SLAMS her fist into the drawing.

We MOVE through darkness towards long hanging fabric. As we PUSH through the fabric into BRIGHT LIGHT we see THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE gathered before us. The SOUND of beating DRUMS.

WIDEN TO REVEAL:

O'Neil and the other prisoners are PUSHED out onto the platform, led by HORUS down to the center of the ramp.

Using his weapon as a staff, Horus KNOCKS the soldiers down to their knees. He leaves them there as he marches back up to the top of the ramp, joined by another Hours (#2).

ANGLE —- SARI 245

Moving through the dense crowd, straining to see if Daniel is on the ramp. Unable to spot him, she’s crestfallen. The DRUMS increase in volume and tempo.

DANIEL AND ANUBIS 247

With his mask in place, Anubis steps through the hanging fabric, Daniel close to his side. O'Ne1] looks up, completely shocked to discover Daniel alive.

Daniel avoids eye contact with the soldiers as Anubis leads him next to the empty throne.

Sari SEES Daniel. Her expression brightens. She pushes through the crowd to get nearer to the platform.

Leaving Daniel's side, Anubis steps to the center of the platform, raising his arms. The DRUMS are SILENCED. The entire crowd BOWS DOWN. We see a very bruised Kasuf, helped by the town Elders to his knees in prayer.

Anubis looks over to Daniel who reluctantly bows down before the throne. The entire assembly bows and a dozen CHILDREN rush out from behind the fabric, grabbing onto poles, connected to the bottom of the material.

Ra takes his place on the throne. Once seated, the crowd stands, silently. Anubis stands and offers his weapon to the Pharaoh. Ra accepts it. He turns and offers it to Daniel.

Anubis puts his hand roughly on Daniel's shoulder. DOaniel, knowing what is expected of him, is torn. Slowly he stands

and accepts the weapon from Ra. Weapon in hand, Daniel turns towards the ramp.

DANIEL'S P.O.V. - SOLDIERS AND O'NEIL

Slowly Daniel walks past the two guaras at the top of the ramp, making nis way towards O’Nell and the rest of the soldiers. O'Neil looks up at Daniel as a traitor, contempt in his eye.

Daniel is torn. Desperately he wants 4a way out of it. Ags he walks he SEES, Sari in the crowd.

Daniel stops a few feet in front of O'Neil who only stares at him, harsh-y. Daniel turns, looks back to Ra who stares at him emotionlessly. He see Anubis waiting next to Ra, the two Horus’ guards at the top of the ramp. Suddenly...

Quickly O'Neil climbs the dune, watching the Gliders depart as Daniel spits out sand, climbing after him.

O’'’NEIL Great. Now how the hell do we get out of here?

The two Horus pilets (#1 and #2) march down the hall. As they pass a hanging tapestry, we SEE their silhouetted bird images MORPH down to their normal selves.

Ra sits, seething with humiliation and anger. Anguished, Ra sits privately when he’s suddenly TUGGED by a YOUNG BOY (10 years old) who tries to get his attention.

Furicus at the invasion, Ra SPINS and GLARES at the boy, his eyes filled with rage. Terrified, the boy recoils. Ra stops himself just as he locks up and SEES...

Two Horus who enter and kneel. Ra stops, calms himself.

Neither wants to answer. Finally...

HORUS #2 (subtitled) They vanished.

Ra slowly leans forward. Unseen by him, the rest of the children arrive at a near doorway and watch. Anubis steps before the Horus gaurds, furious.

Turning back Ra moves slowly towards Horus #2, motioning with his other hand for Horus #2 to stand. He does, sansing something is not right.

Slowly Horus #1 backs away. The children at the doorway ; exchange nervous glances.

Horus #2 starts to get nervous, looking around the room. He looks back to Ra who only smiles, reassuringly; everything's alright. Horus #2 seems to calm down.

Ra lifts his hand as though to gently embrace his face when suddenly he OPENS his palm exposing the OISK. Horus #2's eyes go wide with fear but before he can react...

The disk ACTIVATES. Horus #2 1S THROWN, SLAMMING backwards into the wall. Ra moves in for the kill, placing his hand onto Horus #1's head. Suddenly Horus begins to SHAKE VIOLENTLY, his features begin to DISTORT. He SCREAMS OUT IN PAIN. Ra watches this torture emotionlessly, waiting patiently for his victim to expire. He does.

Daniel suddenly drops to his knees.

The Mastadge turns back and ROARS OUT. O'Neil lifts his arm holding it over his eyes. He, too, drops down. The harsh

winds quickly begin to bury the men in sand.

Suddenly we SEE several SHAPES approaching. The figures GRAB onto O'Neil, who squints up to SEE...

O'Neil doesn't answer, keeping his back to Daniel who stands at the back of the cave.

O'Neil stares off with the same distant look he had on when we first saw hin.

Daniel is stunned at the revelation. He wants to say something when Skaara appears carrying a bowl of faod for O'Neil.

O'Neil doesn't even look at him. He just walks away, over to the edge of the cave, staring out into the night. Skaara, afraid he said something wrong turns to Daniel.

Daniel enters. He sees several of the Shepherd boys surrounding Sari who prepares food for them. As Sari stokes

the flames pelow her cooking pot, Daniel walks up and serves some food <9 one of the waiting shepherd boys.

The boy stares at Daniel, shocked, then starts to giggle. Even Sari _ooks up, surprised.

Ra sits with one of the emall children playing a strange, chess-like game made of small pyramids and obelisks. Anubis escorts two Horus guards as they enter. Ra nods to then. RA (subtitled) Take it down. FPrepare it to be sent. The quards move over to the silver tray, lift it and take it from the room. Anubis stands guard over Ra who turns back to his game. The smali boy playing with him turns away watching the other children moving close to a window, watching the activities below. Annoyed, Ra turns to see what the child is looking at. Ha, too, sees the children gathering at the window. He turns back to the boy who is no longer paying any attention to the game. Furlous, Ra SMASHES the board game, sending the pieces FLYING. The boy retracts with fear. Ra turns to Anubis. RA (subtitled) Go. Kill then. Anubis bows and exits.

O'Neil checks to see if the Horus guard is alive. Convinced he's not, O'Neil takes off for the grand gallery. Daniel and Sari follow quickly behind. Just as they leave, the first Horus who got shot, stirs, Slowly regaining consciousness,

Anubis finishes putting his claws on the fingers of one hand, turns and starts walking towards the medallion.

O'Neil enters and heads straight for the tray on the floor by the StarGate. Quickly he starts to assemble the bomb.

down. The Horus guards TUMBLES down the rampway landing in a heap.

O'Neil moves towards Daniel who's already at Sari's side. Daniel craddles her lifeless body in his arms. Daniel can't believe she's dead.

O'Neil wants to say something, but there is nothing that can be said. Suddenly the medallion begins to ACTIVATE. Daniel rushes over to it, laying Sari down in the center of the medallion.

O'Neil turns back to the bomb which now READS 6:32 and counting down. Behind him Daniel and Sari VANISH. As O'Neil turns back to tell Daniel he has no time, SMASH, he's hit.

An EXPLOSION rips up the sand as the four Gliders STRAFE from above. The Shepherd boys rush for cover all over the front

of the entrance, separated.

Racing down the ramp another EXPLOSION HITS, ripping up the stairs injuring one of the shepherd boys. Skaara FIRES his rifle at the passing Gliders as he reaches the sand.

At the side of the platform, Kawalsky and Feretti take cover at the side of the closed door.

Kawalsky grabs Feretti tight, holding him close.

KAWALS KY < Pull it together soldier. I need you!

FERETTI

What are we going to do?

Kawalsky doesn't know. He turns and sees two of the Shepherd boys staring at him for guidance. Kawalsky thinks hard. He SEES one of the carts standing between the obelisks.

Suddenly Kawalsky TAKES OFF RUNNING.

Skaara rushes over to help. Kawalsky and Feretti turn over the carts, making a small fortress between the obelisks. Skaara WAVES for the other to come and take cover.

The other boys DASH out from their positions, racing for the cover of the toppled carts, POWER BURSTS blasting all over.

Skaara screams out for Nabeh, who stands alone, too frightened to move. Skaara screams out again. Finally Nabeh RUNS, full speed. Just before he gets there, BLAST, he's knocked off his feet, laying sprawled out over the sand.

Devastated, Skaara stares at his fallen friend. Kawalsky

SEES this and eases Skaara back down below the safety of the barricade.

The children scurry to pick up the fallen pieces of Ra's board game. They bring the pieces back, setting them down carefully on the board. Impatient, Ra stands and moves over to a doorway. He SEES...

O'Neil and Anubis are locked together, struggling for control over the weapon. Anubis shakes O'Neil free. He lifts the weapon and takes aim. Again, O'Neil rushes back, just in time, KNOCKING the weapon upward as it DISCHARGES.

The four gliders are circling above, BOMBARDING the barricade below. The Shepherd Boys are ducked down as Kawalsky turns to Feretti.

Just then one of the GLIDERS swoops down from over the entrance, straight towards him. Kawalsky points to the glider. The Shepherd boys understand and they all lift their weapons at the same time.

As the Glider DIVES DOWN, Kawalsky, Feretti, Skaara and the boys all STAND and OPEN FIRE.

Shooting Draft - revised 11/15/93 103.

Daniel waits, helpless as Ra enters. Slowly Ra encircles him, studying him. Daniel tries to keep his distance as Ra moves around him. Suddenly Ra stops, a puzzled look on his face.

Slowly Ra turns away from Daniel, looking over at his sarcophagus. When he looks back and sees the frightened look on Danisl’s face, he realizes he's hit it. Slowly he moves towards the sarcophagus.

Daniel RUNS towards him to stop him. He LUNGES at Ra, but Ra SPINS, Lifting his hand towards Daniel. The power of Ra's hand sends Daniel FLYING BACKWARDS, SLAMMING him against a pillar. Daniel slides to the floor. Ra looks back to Daniel and smiles, superior and unstoppable. .

Daniel is backing away as Ra keeps moving towards hin, unrelenting.

Ra gives Daniel a condescending glare as he slowly lifts his hand towards Daniel's head.

From over the dunes another GLIDER dives down towards us. Again, Kawalsky leads the shepherds who POP UP from behind the barricades and OPEN FIRE at the Glider.

The Glider SWERVES violently, just missing the obelisks. But as it BANKS UPWARDS, it sails directly into THE SPACE SHIP PYRAMID, EXPLODING on impact.

Just as Ra is about to torture Daniel, BANG, the explosion from the Glider ROCKS THE ROOM. Ra STUMBLES backwards, SHOCKED. Ra recovers and quickly makes his way over to the window to see what is happening.

Seizing his opportunity, Daniel leaps to his feet. He races to Sari’s side, thrilled to see she's alive, albeit barely.

Re Lifts her out of the sarcophagus and rushes out of the roon.

Seething with anger, Ra SPINS back towards the escaping Daniel. Slowly he moves after hin.

Ra lifts his hand above Daniel. His head begins to DISTORT, particles SHIFTING. Daniel who SCREAMS OUT in agony. Suddenly the LASER begins to form the cylinder around the medallion.

Through his pain, Daniel SEES this and GRABS RA'S WRIST. With every bit of strength Daniel can gather, he holds tight through his torture. The laser encircles the medallion, sealing.

In the center of the chaos, Skaara stops, listening. Soon the RUMBLE grows LOUD. Slowly everyone STOPS, turning towards the pyramid.

Kawalsky and Feretti, also freeze, looking upwards. Astonished they hold back their triumph as they SEE...
