Betrayal

SCENE 2 & 3

SG-1 just passed the two temples and are now trying to get through the market. They end up near an outdoor café which has some kind of a roof made of fabrics to protect the people from the sun. Wooden columns support the roof so it won't fall. The customers are deep in conversation. They all stop when they see SG-1. They stare at the newcomers with a strange look. Jonas is standing next to O'Neill and he's looking back at the temples. Teal'c is behind them.

O'Neill
How do we find Carter? (He paused, aware of the people's glances.) Jonas, why are they doing that?

Jonas
Doing what? (He turns around to look at the café; he's stricken by the attention.) They must not see strangers very often, colonel. (Thinking) It's kinda like if Thor was coming to Earth.

O'Neill
(Muttering) Roswell... (louder) I can see the picture.

Teal'c
I do not see such picture.

The men turn to face the Jaffa. Jonas notices a paper on one of the wooden columns. He approaches and takes the paper while O'Neill tries to explain to Teal'c what he meant..

O'Neill
Teal'c, it's only an expression. It means that I am able to imagine the scene it would cause if Thor were to come to Earth. Like if it was a picture.

Jonas
Colonel, you should come here. I think I just found a way to locate Carter.

O'Neill
What?

Jonas
Remember, the man said that she was chosen for a tournament. (Handing the paper to O'Neill)

O'Neill
So?

Jonas
So, where do tournaments usually take place? (He looks at the stadium, just behind them)

O'Neill
What are we waiting for? Let's go! (Leaving and leading the way)

They are walking in the same formation towards the stadium. The streets are full of people, dressed with light colored-togas with sandals. There are shops everywhere in the streets.

O'Neill
What kind of tournament are we talking about here?

Jonas
Well, from Daniel's notes and from what I can read, it's some kind of wrestling. Interesting sport: you have to bring your adversary to the ground.

O'Neill
I prefer a good boxing match, don't you Teal'c? (He raises an eyebrow)

Teal'c
I am not totally familiar with those sports, O'Neill.

They end up at the main gate of the stadium which is locked.

O'Neill
Isn't the stadium a bit...huge for wrestling?

Jonas
I think it has other purposes.

Teal'c
Perhaps, it is only because they like them big!

O'Neill
(Exclamation) Ha! Good one Teal'c.
