I love 1969 as an episode but just thought that some of the other endings as listed here were better. I also liked the ending to Touchstone - creepy Maybourne.

Into the Fire

EXT—HATHOR'S PLANET, STARGATE CLEARING (DAY)

[Bra'tac and his people capture Trofsky's Jaffa.]

BRA'TAC
Jaffa! Tal bet! Tal bet!
[Trofsky's remaining Jaffa surrender and Bra'tac heads over to O'Neill.]

BRA'TAC
Human.
[Teal'c and General Hammond, having landed the Death Glider, approach the gathering. They all share a moment of triumph before heading towards the Stargate.]

Seth

EXT—MARK CARTER'S HOUSE (DAY)

[Carter and Jacob walk up the driveway towards the house, sharing a quick hug, before Jacob goes up to the door and knocks. It is answered by Mark Carter. Jacob embraces him and, after a moment, Mark returns the loving gesture. Jacob picks up one of his grandchildren, smiling, before entering the house. Carter follows and shares a hug with her brother.]

Fair Game

INT—SGC GATE ROOM

[The Stargate activates. Kronos and Yu, Nirrti held prisoner between them, head up the Gate ramp. O'Neill and Daniel are standing at the bottom of the ramp, witnessing their departure. Before he enters the gate, Kronos turns back to the Gate room.]

KRONOS
We will not attack your world. But…if you continue to use your Stargate, be warned—anyone who is caught by one of the System Lords will be shown no mercy. They will suffer greatly.
O'NEILL
Well that certainly makes life more…interesting.
[The Goa'uld System Lords disappear through the gate, watched by Defense Secretary Simms.]

DANIEL
Boy is she going to get it.
O'NEILL
My heart bleeds.
EXT—ASGARD SHIP

[Thor's ship leaves Earth's orbit.]

Legacy

INT—SGC INFIRMARY

[SG-1 and Hammond gather around Teal'c's bed as Dr. Fraiser injects the protein into his IV.]

FRAISER
Ok. Well, I don't know if this is going to work. He'll have the marker, but he'll still have a Goa'uld larva. Depends on how smart Ma'chello made the little beggars.
[Teal'c groans, then opens his eyes.]

TEAL'C
(whispering)
Ma'chello.
[The dead organism drips out of his ear and is taken away by Dr. Fraiser.]

Learning Curve

EXT—ORBAN, CHILDREN'S HOME (DAY)

[A child is playing hopscotch. Former Urrone children are laughing and playing everywhere.]

KALAN
Come. Look. Isn't it wonderful?
[Tomin is skipping with two other children. Kalan interrupts them in order to introduce Tomin to O'Neill.]

KALAN
Colonel O'Neill, this is my son Tomin. I am teaching him. All of the past Urrone children will now learn, in the old fashioned way, as you might say. He will know all that you have done for Orban.
[He takes out a piece of paper.]

KALAN
Oh and I drew this for you, to express my gratitude.
[He hands the paper to O'Neill. It is a picture of a matchstick figure with blond hair.]

CARTER
Isn't that…?
KALAN
Me!
DANIEL
Kalan, when did all this start?
KALAN
Last night, after Merrin's Averium.
CARTER
She must have known this would happen once her nanites were transferred.
O'NEILL
This…is what she learned.
[Carter sees Merrin drawing on a nearby wall.]

CARTER
(gesturing to Merrin)
Colonel.
[As O'Neill heads over to Merrin, Teal'c bends down before Tomin, who touches his tattoo in curiosity. O'Neill comes to stand by Merrin. She continues to draw with the crayons he gave her.]

O'NEILL
Hi Merrin.
[Merrin looks up, but shows no sign of recognising him. O'Neill sits down beside her.]

O'NEILL
Ok. I guess we'll just have to get to know one another all over again.
[He takes a crayon and starts to draw. Merrin smiles and scribbles it out.]

O'NEILL
You're right. What was I thinking? You ever seen a dog? Dog's are my favourite people. Some have tails, some don't. I like that about dogs.

Point of View

INT—ALTERNATE SGC, STORAGE CLOSET

KAWALSKY
(to O'Neill)
Colonel. It's been a pleasure to serve with you. Again.
O'NEILL
Likewise.
KAWALSKY
Right.
[Kawalsky salutes O'Neill, who returns the gesture. Kawalsky then turns to Teal'c and salutes him. Teal'c bows his head in return. In the mirror, Carter is watching the scene from their reality.]

SAMANTHA
(to O'Neill)
This is hard. Goodbye for a second time.
O'NEILL
It's the first time.
SAMANTHA
It doesn't feel that way to me. You have to understand, my Jack had the same face, same voice…same hands.
O'NEILL
Which brings to mind an obvious question. How could you marry such a loser?
[Samantha laughs and turns to Teal'c and Daniel.]

SAMANTHA
Thank you.
DANIEL
You're welcome.
[O'Neill silently gestures for Daniel and Teal'c to go through the mirror. Taking the hint, they stand side by side as they touch the mirror and disappear, reappearing on the opposite side. Samantha and O'Neill stare at each other for a long moment, before Samantha reaches up and kisses O'Neill. Carter, watching from the other side of the mirror, appears uncomfortable and looks away. Samantha finally pulls away from O'Neill.]

SAMANTHA
You're really not him, are you.
O'NEILL
No.
SAMANTHA
I just wish…
O'NEILL
Yep.
[He steps away from her and touches the mirror, appearing briefly on the other side before it goes dark. Samantha is left standing alone in the storage room with tears running down her face.]

Deadman's Switch

EXT—ALIEN PLANET, FOREST (DAY)

[O'Neill, Carter, Daniel, along with Korra, arrive just as Aris Boch climbs out of his escape pod.]

O'NEILL
Where's Teal'c?
[Teal'c appears behind them.]

TEAL'C
I am here O'Neill.
O'NEILL
Yes!
DANIEL
You okay?
TEAL'C
I will be fine.
CARTER
What happened?
ARIS BOCH
I had some technical difficulties, which I communicated to Sokar's ship, just after I accidentally removed this.
[He shows them the crystal he removed from the self-destruct device. O'Neill yanks it out of his hand.]

CARTER
Glad to have you back, Teal'c.
KORRA
(to Teal'c)
Somehow, I must find a way to pay tribute to what you have done for me and the Tok'ra.
TEAL'C
There is no need.
ARIS BOCH
Hey, guys, what about me? Don't I get a thank you?
CARTER
For doing the right thing for a change?
ARIS BOCH
Well, it's kind of a back-handed show of appreciation, but I'll take it.
DANIEL
Won't Sokar be angry?
ARIS BOCH
Oh, hopefully he thinks I'm dead. By the time he figures it out, I'll be long gone.
CARTER
What about the substance you need?
KORRA
The roshna?
ARIS BOCH
There are plenty of Goa'uld out there I could trade with.
O'NEILL
Well. We'd better get back to the Stargate.
ARIS BOCH
Oh, uh, Dr Jackson. I was lying to you before. The price on your head is much more than a day's rations. Actually the Goa'uld want to see you dead as much as anyone for figuring out the Stargate.
DANIEL
Thank you. That doesn't make me feel any better.
ARIS BOCH
Major?
[He takes out a vial of roshna and hands it to her.]

ARIS BOCH
Who knows, maybe someday someone will figure out a way for what's left of my people to be free of the Goa'uld. And that would be something worth trading for.
[She smiles and heads after the others. Teal'c pauses by Aris Boch and bows his head in thanks, before following the others, leaving the bounty hunter alone in the forest.]

Demons

EXT—STARGATE CLEARING (DAY)

[Daniel, Carter and Mary are waiting by the Stargate as O'Neill, Teal'c, Simon and the Canon approach.]

MARY
Simon!
[She runs over to him and they hug.]

MARY
I knew you would come. Are you hurt?
SIMON
I will be fine.
DANIEL
What happened?
CANON
The beast…is dead. Had I not witnessed it myself, I would not have believed it. Thank you…all, for showing me the way.
O'NEILL
You're welcome. Major, dial us home.
[Carter starts to dial Earth, but pauses after the first chevron is lit.]

O'NEILL
Carter?
[She looks at the Canon.]

CARTER
It went into him.
SIMON
What went into him?
[The Canon starts to move forward and Teal'c aims his staff weapon.]

TEAL'C
Go no further!
CANON
Why? I have done nothing.
(to Simon and Mary)
My children…
O'NEILL
(to Carter)
Are you sure?
CARTER
Positive, Sir. I can sense it. The Unas host was dying, it had no where else to go. It went into him.
[The Canon's eyes light up and he lunges at them. O'Neill shoots him with his sidearm and the Canon falls backwards. Carter goes to check on him and Simon kneels at his side.]

CANON
Forgive me.
[After a moment, he dies.]

SIMON
(praying)
By the sorrows ye suffered, in your agony in the garden, in your scourging and crowning with thorns…
DANIEL
The prayer for Suffering Souls.
SIMON
(cont'd)
In your crucifixion and death, have mercy on the souls. Deliver them from the dire torments they endure and admit them to your most sweet embrace in Paradise.
[He makes the sign of the cross on the Canon's forehead. Mary crosses herself.]

SIMON
Now the demon is truly gone.
O'NEILL
Major?
[Carter nods and heads back to the DHD to dial home.]

O'NEILL
(to Simon and Mary)
You know what to do?
MARY
Yes. We will do what you say.
SIMON
We will bury the Gate. Immediately. And there will be no more Sacrifices.
O'NEILL
Thank God.
[Carter presses the centre stone and Stargate opens. She sends the GDO signal back to Earth and SG-1 step through the Stargate, leaving Simon and Mary in the clearing.]

Rules of Engagement

EXT—MILITARY TRAINING CAMP (DAY)

[Carter runs out of the tent with the vocume, narrowly avoiding an exploding mortar, and plants the device in the center of the camp. The giant image of Apophis appears.]

APOPHIS' IMAGE
Warriors of Apophis, assemble before me and listen to he that possesses the vocume.
[The attacking warriors stop firing. They slowly come of the woods and enter the encampment, assembling before the image of Apophis.]

APOPHIS' IMAGE
(cont'd)
The warrior before you speaks in my name. Heed his words.
ROGERS
(to the warriors)
It's a message from Apophis himself!
NELSON
Summoning his image during battle is against the Rules of Engagement…
ROGERS
Hear his words!
NELSON
When the Challenge is over!
O'NEILL
Now, Nelson! You will listen to him now! Before anyone else gets hurt.
NELSON
The Final Challenge is to the death, Colonel.
[Nelson looks up in astonishment as the image of Apophis changes.]

APOPHIS' IMAGE
A host. I am…afraid.
[He takes a gasping breath, then dies.]

NELSON
(shocked)
He is a god. It cannot be so.
ROGERS
It is so.
[The other soldiers start to wander around in confusion, no longer willing to fight.]

NELSON
(to Rogers)
What will become of us? Where will we go now?
ROGERS
Home.
[He exchanges a look with SG-1 as the rest of the warriors fall out and start to walk away.]

Forever in a Day

EXT—AMMONET'S PLANET (DAY)

[Daniel walks passed Jaffa bodies and enters the tent where Ammonet used the ribbon device on him. He stares down at the burn on the floor, marking the place where Teal'c shot Sha're. Sha're, dressed as Ammonet, appears behind him.]

SHA'RE
You are finally here.
DANIEL
Yes.
SHA'RE
You are the only one who can save the boy, Daniel.
DANIEL
He's a Harsesis. He contains all their knowledge.
SHA'RE
Ammonet took the Abydonians as a show, so that Heru-Ur would not know her true goal.
DANIEL
To take the boy.
SHA'RE
She has sent him into hiding with her closest aide.
DANIEL
Where?
[Sha're starts to vanish, but manages to pull herself back.]

SHA'RE
Kheb.
DANIEL
I know a Kheb. There's a reference. It's the mythical place where Osiris hid from Seth. Kheb is a myth.
SHA'RE
No.
DANIEL
Where is it?
[Sha're puts her hand on his face.]

SHA'RE
Promise me you will save the child.
DANIEL
I promise.
[Sha're puts her arm around him and they kiss. Abruptly, Daniel finds himself in the grip of Ammonet's ribbon device once more. His sidearm tumbles to the floor as Ammonet's eyes glow. Teal'c, standing in the doorway, raises his staff weapon. Ammonet glances at him as he fires, the shot knocking her off her feet. Daniel falls at her side. Ammonet's glowing eyes fade as the Goa'uld dies and only Sha're is left.]

SHA'RE
I love you, Daniel.
[She closes her eyes and dies. Teal'c falls to one knee beside them.]

TEAL'C
I am sorry, Daniel Jackson.
DANIEL
You did the right thing, Teal'c.
[O'Neill and Carter enter the tent as Daniel touches Sha're's face.]

CARTER
Oh God.
O'NEILL
Teal'c?
TEAL'C
Daniel Jackson will be fine.
[Daniel runs his fingers over Sha're's still features.]

DANIEL
(to Sha're)
I love you too.

Past and Present

INT—GATE ROOM, SGC

[Nodal and Leyal are speaking with Carter about Kira.]

LEYAL
She did this willingly?
CARTER
Yes. With her help, we were able to synthesise a small amount of the enhanced D'Argol that caused the Vorlix, and reintroduce it into her bloodstream. Her memory is gone again.
[Kira enters the Gate room along with Daniel and Dr Frasier.]

DANIEL
(introducing everyone)
Kira, these are friends of mine. Teal'c, Jack, General Hammond, Sam…And these are friends of yours. They've come to take you home.
KIRA
(to Nodal and Leyal)
Do you know me?
NODAL
We do, Kira. We understand you have lost your memory. Know that you are a great leader of our people and you are most welcome.
[He and Leyal turn and head up the ramp towards the open Stargate. Kira turns to Daniel.]

KIRA
I sense we knew each other well, before my memory was lost. Did we?
DANIEL
No. No we never really did. Goodbye Kira.
KIRA
Goodbye.
[She walks up the ramp, taking Nodal's proffered hand. Just before she steps into the event horizon, she turns and smiles at Daniel, before disappearing.]
