The following is a transcript of Janet's scenes in the episode "Entity":
~~~~~
Sam: I'd like to run a full systems diagnostic on the main computer.
Janet: Yeah, after I treat this hand.
Sam: As soon as I get the systems...
Janet: It is a very bad burn Sam.
Sam: Five minutes.
Janet: NOW!
Jack: Do as the Doctor says.
Sam: Yes sir.
Janet: Thank you Colonel. You, Daniel and Teal'c are next.
Jack/Daniel: Whaaat? We're fine.
Janet: Yeah, well I would like to be the judge of that. Some form of energy came through the Stargate. I think it's only prudent to make sure there's no physiological effects to those exposed. ASAP.
<Janet leaves>
Jack: Who put her in charge?
General Hammond: The US Air Force.
Teal'c: In medical matters, Dr. Fraiser may overrule those of any rank.
Jack (to Daniel): I'm not getting all my memos.
~~~~~
INFIRMARY
Janet (to Sam and Walter): Well, by the looks of the control room I'd say you're both very lucky.
Walter: I guess it could have been worse.
Sam: I'd like to know what it was trying to do in the first place. Unfortunately our best diagnostic tool for figuring that out has been trashed.
Janet (to Sam): You're all done here.
Sam: Thanks.
<Sam leaves>
Teal'c: Reporting as requested.
Janet: Thanks Teal'c, just have a seat.
~~~~~
BRIEFING ROOM
Jack: So it's a probe?
Daniel: No, we're saying it's like a probe. We actually don't know what to call it.
Sam: We do know that before we were able to cut it off the structured EM wave managed to navigate more than half our computer system.
Teal'c: For what reason?
Daniel: Well, we sent a probe to their world.
Jack: So we're calling it a probe?
Daniel: <pause> Sure. Umm, The point is, we don't know what would have happened if we hadn't interrupted it.
Hammond: It did an awful lot of damage.
Teal'c: Perhaps that was the intention.
Sam: Or maybe it was intended to have been passive, but just so advanced that it overwhelmed our systems. We really have no way of knowing.
Janet: Now, what is this?
Sam: Those are the high frequency oscillations we received. They're time magnified and scaled for detail.
Janet: It's like high amplitude tracings of an EEG.
Daniel: Like a brainwave?
Janet: Yeah.
~~~~~
INFIRMARY (Sam has been invaded by the Entity)
Janet: Start an EKG and EEG. On the bed, on my count. Three, two, one! Are we in? Charge the paddles, 100. (to nurse) Take over. <looks puzzled> It's normal sinus rhythm. (to Jack) Sir?
Jack: What? What is it?
Janet: These readings match those that infected the computers in the first place. It's inside her.
~~~~~
Janet: <pointing to EEG> These weaker readings are Major Carters, these are the Entity's.
Daniel: How can a computer program be inside a human brain?
Janet: Sam said; the Entity was looking for memory in which to expand. And the human brain is capable of storing terabytes of information.
Hammond: How do you intend to remove it?
Janet: I doubt it's even possible Sir. I mean, more and more of her brain is being stimulated and it's impossible to tell whether her memory is being suppressed, overwritten or erased entirely.
Teal'c: General Hammond, I recommend that Major Carter be placed under armed guard.
Daniel: What?
Teal'c: If an alien entity has somehow invaded her body, then she is a security risk and must be treated as such.
Hammond: I agree with Teal'C. The Entity has fooled us twice. I'll be damned if I'll let it do it again. She's to remain under guard at all times.
Janet: Yes Sir.
~~~~~
<Sam regains consciousness>
Jack: Carter? (to control room) She's conscious! (to Sam) Can you talk?
Janet: Colonel, her PET scan resembles that of someone who's been the victim of a stroke. Parts of her brain seem very active, others seem dormant or suppressed. The entity does have complete motor control however. It might be able to communicate with a speech synthesiser if I explain its operation.
Jack: Just concentrate of getting it out of her, will ya?
Janet: I don't know how, Sir.
~~~~~
Entity: O'Neill
Jack: That's right. (to SF) Go get the Doc. (to Entity) And, you are?
Entity: I am within. You are O'Neill.
Jack: Yeah, we've established that.
Entity: This one has memory of you.
Jack: The one you're talking about is a person. Her name is Major Samantha Carter.
Entity: Then I am Major...
Jack: No, no you're not.
Janet: We understand that you've taken control of Major Carter, but you're not her.
Entity: There was no other choice. No other place to go. You wish to terminate.
Jack: Still do.
Entity: But you will not. Not now. I have observed. You value the life of one.
Jack: Yes, we do.
Entity: This one is important.
Jack: She is.
Entity: For this reason, this one was chosen. You will not terminate this one in order to destroy me.
Janet: It went into Sam out of self-preservation.
Entity: I cannot be removed from this mind without terminating. You will not terminate this one. None of you will. Therefore I will survive.
~~~~~
BRIEFING ROOM
Janet: The Entity insists Sam's mind is intact. But I can't detect anything beyond the barest trace. I believe even if I was somehow able to remove it, she would be essentially brain dead.
Hammond: I see.
Daniel: Then why does the Entity insist that Sam's mind is still within?
Jack: It's the only way to keep us from killing it.
Daniel: Or, it's telling the truth and we just can't detect it.
Janet: Yeah, well even if Sam is still in there somewhere it's won't be for long. The Entity's influence is still growing within her mind and there's nothing I can do to stop it.
Teal'c: What course of action remains?
Daniel: Well, it wants to survive. So we offer to send it home.
Hammond: This alien technology is capable of travelling back to us through an outgoing wormhole. I won't risk the same thing happening again. I've already ordered that the coordinates be locked out of the dialling computer.
Daniel: Let me talk to it. Maybe we can convince it to leave willingly.
Hammond: Very well, Doctor Jackson. Dismissed.
<Everyone leaves bar Jack and Hammond>
Hammond: Jack, we may have to make some difficult choices. I know that Major Carter means a great deal to you.
Jack: She's a very valuable member of my team, Sir.
Hammond: Yes, she is.
~~~~~
Janet: We've got an emergency situation Coder 649.
~~~~~
INFIRMARY: Sam has been zatted, twice.
Janet: (to Jack) Still no change? I don't know if she ever told you this Colonel, but Sam made a living will. No extraordinary means.
Jack: Yeah, she told me.
Janet: There's, ah, there's no brain activity of any kind. No brain wave for either Sam or the Entity. She's being kept alive entirely on life support. I think it's time to let her go Sir.
Jack: Just, ah, give it a minute, uh? Yeah...
~~~~~
Janet: This EEG matches Sam's. I don't know how, but it's her.
Hammond: So what do we do?
Janet: There's nothing I can do Sir, but provide a conduitfor her to return into her own body.
Teal'c <hold zat>: The Entity has deceived us on several occasions.
Hammond: Go ahead Doctor
Janet: Yes sir.
LOTS OF ELECTRICAL NOISE AND SAM CONVULSING, THEN BREATHING.
Janet: She's back!
Jack: Hey Carter, where've you been?
Carter: It's gone?
Hammond: Yes, it is.
Carter: I was shouting. For you to hear.
Jack: We heard.
