Betrayal

SCENE 11 & 12

Jonas is in one of the corridor leading to the battlefield. He is dressed as a Greek warrior, wearing a skirt and a light shirt. He is wearing wristbands and has ankle protections. Zander is following him, giving his last instructions.

Zander
Try not to stay on the ground because that would give the advantage to your adversary.

In the background, we hear the announcement of Jonas' fight against a certain Mila.

Jonas
Thank you, Zander.

Jonas shakes Zander's hand then enters the arena. The field is covered with sand and the stadium is made of the same white stones as the city. He joins Mila in the center of the field and they both face the Gods.

Mila
Oh! Ares, Great God of war, please give me the strength to defeat my enemy.

Jonas
Athena, Goddess of battle and wisdom, sharpen my senses so I can outlive the day. (At the mention of Athena's name, there is a murmur in the crowd and the Gods share a look of surprise.)

On the ground, in front of the Gods, the judge prepares to give the signal. The men face each other and they are ready to begin. The signal is given. First Mila pushes Jonas and tries to force him down but he holds on. Jonas tries to keep clear of Mila, not letting Mila get a grip on him. Mila is stronger than Jonas but Jonas is faster.

O'Neill and Teal'c are trying to free Carter

O'Neill
Get back, major. Teal'c, fire at will.

Teal'c, with his staff weapon, fires at the wooden bars of the cage. They are breaking as he fires at them. He shoots twice. O'Neill throws the pieces out of the way and tries to break what is left of the cage.

O'Neill
One more.

As Teal'c gets ready to shoot, four guards enter the room and circle the two of them.

Guard
Take their weapons and put them in the other cage with the woman.

The guards take the staff weapon and the other guns and lead O'Neill and Teal'c to a cage while another one grabs Carter and brings her to the same cage.

Carter
What do we do now? (To the colonel)
