Betrayal
SCENE 4 & 5
They are going in the stadium when a guard in uniform stops them.
Guard
You cannot enter. This entry is closed.
O'Neill
We only want to take a look at the tournament's prizes; we were told they were great. (Ironically)
Guard
(Taking his sword) Not through here.
A young man, who was listening, joins the group.
Man
Perhaps I can help. (To O'Neill, while taking them to the right, away from the gate.) My name is Zander, I work in the stadium. I heard you wanted to see the prizes. You must be looking for the blond lady.
O'Neill
Yes, we are. Can you take us to our friend?
Zander
No, but I can, at least, help you find her. (He stops in front of a door, where there is a guard seated at a table.)
Jonas
Thank you.
Zander
You must go straight then turn left. You will see a door, still on your left. It is an access to the stadium. Beware, once inside, it is guarded. The best way to get your friend out of there, as for me, would be to win the tournament. I don't see any other way. Good luck, it is all I can do.
O'Neill
Thanks for the advice.
The man goes through the door.
In front of the passageway, O'Neill looks at Jonas and Teal'c.
O'Neill
You know, it's not such a bad idea.
Jonas
What? Try to win the tournament?
O'Neill
Yah! Or at least one of us could try his luck!
Jonas
But Jack, they are trained for it, we are not.
Teal'c
It is worthy of trying.
O'Neill
You see, so now, you enlist and Teal'c and I will go look for Carter.
Jonas
Wait, why me, why not Teal'c?
Teal'c
Fair question
Jonas
He's the strong guy; I'm not fit for this.
O'Neill
Simple, you know the sport, he doesn't and what if anything happens to Junior?
Jonas
Fine, I'll try. But, I do think it's a bad idea.
Teal'c
Good luck, Jonas Quinn!
Jonas
Thank you, Teal'c. Good luck to you too, in your search, and if you find anything, please come and get me out.
Jonas heads for the guard at the table while O'Neill leads Teal'c down the street.
