Roll, please!
And... ring-ring.
Hello.
ls this Major Samantha Carter?
- Who is this? - My name is Richard Flemming.
The project was never shut down, Major, and now it's out of control.
- What project? - You have to protect me. They know l...
(director imitates brakes screeching)
Hello? Hello?
Hello/
- How was that? - lt was good. Was it good for you?
Yeah. (snores)
(director laughs)
lt's pretty sparse. lt's pretty Carter.
Minimalist.
- ls it working for you? - lt is.
She fills the room with the fantasies in her head. She doesn't need much stuff.
She's got a very rich fantasy life.
This is Vince. He's playing the part of our deputy.
You have a very interesting role. You play not just one kind of character.
You play a character that's undercover, that is infected, so you end up to be...
- Three characters. Dave, the deputy. - Three levels.
Hi. Can l help you?
Agent Cross.
l'm Agent Cross. That's Agent Singer.
NlD.
And...
A Goa'uld who shall remain nameless.
Welcome, brother. You know where you are?
l have the memories of my host.
- Three levels of reality. - Yeah.
Two agendas.
Three levels of reality, two agendas. ls that unusual for Stargate?
This town certainly does get quiet at night.
This is a sign... ''Crusty Bill's''.
Made in a likeness of our first AD, Bill Mizel,
who may or may not even realise that this is an homage to him.
Who?
You don't know?
You may or may not recognise Kenny from ''Wormhole X-Treme.''
He used to have a head of yellow hair,
but he has been shaved and we're making a sweater.
Kenny, run, you underpaid, below-the-line freak!
- Billy, roll right now! - Roll!
Speed! Speeding!
Kenny, l love you, but you're not in this scene!
This is David, our property master who played our first AD on the show.
He's an actor and he's multitalented.
And l'm taller.
l said, aliens off the set!
- What is this? - Get in the van.
This is a process originally invented for poor filmmakers
who couldn't afford actually towing cars.
What we've done is added the time-honoured tradition,
the Hitchcock tradition, of the rear-screen projection.
There's a projector behind the screen.
When it's turned on, the street will begin to come at us.
This light is passed overhead, over the van,
past the thing, and it gives the illusion of passing street lights.
So we've got the shaking of the car with this giant beam.
- So you know what's going on here? - We've monitored it for three months.
Then we are filming through the front here,
through the front windshield onto our actors,
where we will see the illusion of the street passing by.
This is a really fun, old, spooky place.
lt's got mud and rotting pilings.
You see over here the great rotting pilings.
lt's low tide right now and the stench is unbearable.
This is day seven of the episode entitled ''Nightwalkers''.
We find ourselves at the Britannia Shipyards.
This is a beautiful old ship-repairing place.
There are giant ships, as you can see.
There's one ship there.
You have another huge ship there.
And this is an old rumrunner.
During Prohibition, it used to run rum
from Canada down to Los Angeles and San Diego.
And it was quite fast.
This is where the aliens are building their alien spaceship.
(whistles)
- You have to do something. - We've a containment team on stand-by.
We can have this town quarantined in 45 minutes.
Then do so.
This is gonna be a great shot.
Move it, monkeys, move it! Go down the street! Go, go, go!
This is a low wide-angle shot.
We're looking right up into the bowels of the truck.
l'm shooting a slightly tighter shot of feet coming out of the back of the truck.
(assistant) OK, boys. Here we go. Don't hurt yourselves.
Very selective focus. Quite artsy.
So that's B-camera, the artsy tight shot of feet.
This is A-camera, the super-wide low shot.
And... action!
Sheriff.
Girl.
Guys.
And cut.
The humans have no idea what's going on here.
Oh, l wouldn't exactly say that.
You guys aren't nearly as smart as you think you are.
