START TIMECODE 00.00.00 AT FIRST FRAME OF PICTURE
00.14.04 O’NEILL (OS)- Ya, Kasuf, about this voice that spoke to you...
00.16.12 KASUF- Yes, it spoke the name of my daughter, may she rest in peace. I am not the
only one who heard it. Many fear it is a sign that the Gods are retuming.
00.26.11 O’NEILL- I thought we’d finally convinced your people that the Goa’ulds were not
Gods.
00.30.26 KASUF- I said many. NOt I. but it easy to understand. In the days of RA, when he
retumed from a journey, a great storm would blow through the desert.
00.40.16 O’NEILL- It’s just wind. Wind happens.
00.43.10 CARTER- We’re talking about a wind that blew out of an active Stargate.
00.45.18 DANIEL- And formed a sand storm.
00.47.04 KASUF- Don’t forget it said the name Sha’re.
00.49.11 O’NEILL- Oh, it’s not like it’s a buming bush or anything.
STARGATE - "Absolute Powef’ (#6718) Page 2
00.52.24 KASUF- I have seen many bushes bum.
00.55.08 O’NEILL- I suppose you have.
00.57.05 KASUF- It’s not far now. (beat) Here.
01.10.08 DANIEL- There’s nothing here.
01.12.04 O’NEILL- Nice light breeze.
01.18.00 KASUF (OS)- This is where I heard the voice.
01.22.00 CARTER- I’m getting a build up of static electricity, sir.
01.29.18 VOICE (VO)- Daniel.
01.37.16 DANIEL- Did anybody else just hear that?
01.33.24 CARTER- I think so.
01.35.25 KASUF- Look!
01.42.28 O’NEILL- Now that’s impressive. Daniel. Try to keep it in Kansas, huh?
STARGA’rE -=Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 3
01.59.13 DANIEL (OS)- was just a...
DANIEL (CONT)- I’m Daniel. Who’s calling?
02.40.18 BOY- I am Shifu. I am Harsesis.
04.02.17 DANIEL (OS)- Well, I think that he is the Harsesis.
04.05.18 CARTER- How is that possible?
04.07.07 DANIEL (OS)- I’m not sure. He said he grew like the weeds.
04.09.19 TEAL’C- Apophis sire the child to be his next host. It is possible he used Goa’uld
technology to manipulate the boy’s body to mature quickly.
04.17.08 DANIEL- We know that’s possible.
04.19.28 TEAL’C (OS)- Does he speak of the knowledge passed on...
TEAL’C (CONT)- to him by Amaunet and Apophis?
04.23.13 DANIEL- He says Oma taught him to forget.
04.26.08 O’NEILL- Oma?
04.27.12 DANIEL- The alien we encountered on Kheb. Mother Nature.
STARGATE - =Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 4
04.31.16 CARTER- Guess that explains the tornado.
04.33.21 DANIEL- Shifu says he came to Abydos to learn more about his mother.
O’NEILL- Shifu?
DANIEL (OS)- Ah, his name.
DANIEL (CONT)- It means light.
04.40.08 CARTER (OS)- I think we should really have Dr. Fraiser take a look at...
CARTER (CONT)- him. If he’s been altered to grow quickly, it could still
happening.
04.46.22 O’NEILL- Do you think it’s wise to bring him back?
04.48.00 DANIEL- I don’t think he’s a danger.
04.49.17 O’NEILL (OS)- What about...
O’NEILL (CONT)- his stepmom, she coming along?
04.52.18 DANIEL- Ah, he says that, ultimately, a man travels his chosen path alone.
04.57.07 O’NEILL- Smart kid. (beat) Get a message to Hammond. Let him know who we’re
bringing.
STARGATE- =Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 5
05.23.13 DANIEL (OS)- Shifu, this is General Hammond. He’s the leader of this facility.
05.27.18 HAMMOND- Welcome to Earth.
05.29.12 SHIFU- A spark lights the flame but the candle will only bum as long as the wick.
05.40.00 O’NEILL- ff I may, sir, I think what he means is, the wick is the center of the candle,
and ostensibly, a great leader like yourself, is essential to the whole ball of wax.
(beat) Basically, what it means is that it’s always better to have a big long wick,
dght?
06.04.11 DANIEL- Don’t look at me. This, this way.
06.10.10 O’NEILL- It’s right though, right?
06.21.24 FRAISER- Okay. Now, I’m going to take a little bit of your blood with that needle.
06.28.07 SHIFU- Will you retum it to me when you are done?
06.33.05 FRAISER- I’m afraid I can’t. You see I have to do some tests on it...
FRAISER (OS CONT)- and then it just won’t be very good after that.
06.41.02 SHIFU- Leaves fall from the tree once a year. The tree still grows strong and proud.
STARGATE -=Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 6
06.49.27 DANIEL- Go ahead.
06.52.27 FRAISER- Okay.
07.01.05 HAMMOND- Doctor.
07.02.00 FRAISER (OS)- Sir, I found traces...
FRAISER (CONT)- of the same nanite technology that once prematurely aged Colonel
O’Neill. Now I’ve had them analyzed by some of the foremost experts in the
field, and they say that they appear to be inactive.
07.14.28 O’NEILL- So they shut themselves off already?.
07.17.07 FRAISER- Well, it’s possible the boy’s already reached the preprogrammed age.
07.19.28 DANIEL (OS)- Or...
DANIEL (CONT)- Oma figured out a way to stop it.
07.22.08 HAMMOND- Either way we can assume that he’s in no immediate physical danger?.
07.25.13 FRAISER- Yes, sir.
HAMMOND (OS)- What about the information this boy apparently...
HAMMOND (CONT)- knows? What exactly can he tell us?
STARGATE - "Absolute Power~ (#6718) Page 7
07.30.05 TEAL’C- He is bom with the genetic memories of all the Goa’uld that came before him.
07.33.01 O’NEILL- So the kid should know everything Apophis knew when he...
07.39.04 DANIEL- fathered the boy.
07.41.26 O’NEILL- That.
07.43.10 HAMMOND (OS)- That must be an awfully...
HAMMOND (CONT)- big burden for a young child to carry.
07.47.00 TEAL’C- That is why all Goa’uld are bom evil.
07.49.17 DANIEL- It also explains why a benevolent being like Oma Desala would help the boy
to bury those memories in his subconsdous so he could lead a normal life.
07.57.27 CARTER- Sir, we’ve received word form the Tok’ra.
08.00.16 O’NEILL- Oh, did we really have to call them?
08.02.23 HAMMOND (OS)- We have a treaty with them, Colonel. Specifically mentioned is the
full exchange of all...
HAMMOND (CONT)- potential sources of information pertaining to the Goa’uld.
STARGATE - ~Absolute PoweY’ (~718) Page 8
08.12.03 CARTER (OS)- They say they...
CARTER (CONT)- can use their memory recall device to extract information from
Shifu without harming him physically.
08.17.25 FRAISER- Yeah, but what about mentally?
08.19.14 DANIEL- What about emotionally? I mean think about what we would be exposing
him to. We’d be flooding his mind with the thoughts of a thousand Hitlers. One
of them who happened to put a snake in the head of his mother.
DANIEL (OS CONT)- Look, I realize we’re talking about...
DANIEL (CONT)- protecting Earth and potentially eliminating the Goa’uld entirely but
08.39.03 HAMMOND (OS)- It seems...
HAMMOND (CONT)- to me that the boys is fairly wise. Well beyond his years...
HAMMOND (OS CONT)- in fact. Isn’t it possible he might...
HAMMOND (CONT}- comprehend the situation if you explained it to him?
08.47.08 DANIEL- Well, I guess so, but I, I doubt he’d be willing to remember. And even if he
is, how can we ask him to?
08.56.02 CARTER- Well, if he forgot once. Maybe he could forget again.
STARGATE- =Absolute PoweY’ (~6718) Page 9
09.11.01 SHIFU (OS)- She spoke to you...
SHIFU (CON’I)- through the Goa’uld hand device?
09.14.25 DANIEL- Yes.
09.18.00 SHIFU- She was strong.
09.21.18 DANIEL- In those moments, as Amaunet tried to kill me, it felt like I lived a lifetime.
09.27.27 SHIFU- Like a dream.
09.29.24 DANIEL- Yes.
09.31.20 SHIFU- Dreams teach.
09.33.15 DANIEL- Sometimes. In this one I got the chance to say good-bye and your mother
told me how important you were.
09.41.25 SHIFU- Oma teaches the true nature of a man is decided in the battle between his
conscious mind and the desires of his subconscious.
SHIFU (OS CONT)- Oma teaches...
SHIFU (CONT)- the evil in my subconscious is too strong to resist. The only way
win is to deny it battle.
STARGATE - "Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 10
10.02.24 DANIEL- Yeah. (beat) You see the thing is, we can’t deny the battle against the
Goa’uld forever.
DANIEL (OS CONT)- The information contained within your...
DANIEL (CONT)- buried memories could really help us.
10.16.11 SHIFU- You have chosen a path that leads to me because of this.
10.20.02 DANIEL- Yes.
10.23.17 SHIFU- You must release your burden before you will find your own way again.
10.28.17 DANIEL- Yeah. Someone else once said that to me. Thing is, this is my way. I chose
this path to honor Sha’re’s strength. And ultimately, it isn’t just about me or you
for that matter.
10.47.20 SHIFU- I understand.
10.51.00 DANIEL- The Tok’ra have a way to help you remember only certain things.
DANIEL (OS CONT)- how Goa’uld technology works, their weaknesses...
DANIEL (CONT)- And then afterwards maybe Oma can help you forget again.
11.04.14 SHIFU- If the instrument is broken, the music will be sour.
11.10.12 DANIEL-The music does not play the musician.
STARGATE- =Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 11
11.15.03 SHIFU- Normally, there is truth in that.
11.17.05 DANIEL- Really?. (beat) Good. Because I really didn’t have any idea what I was
talking about there. (beat) All I know is this is very impodant or I wouldn’t ask.
12.16.13 FRAISER (OS)- Colonel ....
FRAISER (CONT}- he’s awake.
12.24.15 DANIEL- What happened?
12.25.20 FRAISER- I was going to ask you the same thing. (beat) You were talking to the
boy...
FRAISER (OS CONT)- and you suddenly collapsed.
12.45.11 O’NEILL- Hay.
O’NEILL (OS CONT)- How you feeling?
12.50.07 DANIEL- Fine. I’m a .... (beat) I’m fine.
12.55.01 O’NEILL- Ah, listen, what happened with the kid in there?
13.00.17 DANIEL- I asked him for something. Anything that could help us fight the Goa’uld...
13.07.26 O’NEILL- Yeah?
STARGATE - =Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 12
13.09.12 DANIEL- And I think he gave it to me, (beat)
DANIEL (OS CONT)- These are the long range sensors.
13.21.09 CARTER- I don’t even know what to ask first.
13.23.13 DANIEL- Ah well, the translation may be a little off. Everything in my head is actually
in Goa’uld.
13.29.01 CARTER- Where does it get its power from? ̄
13.32.12 DANIEL- Liquid Naquadah fuel cell. Here.
13.35.01 CARTER- Liquid Naquadah?
13.36.14 DANIEL- Well, actually, it’s heavy liquid Naquadah, but don~t ask me what makes it
heavy. At least not yet.
13.42.23 CARTER- Daniel, this is... (beat) Are you okay?.
13.46.24 DANIEL- Yeah. It’s just that um, strange things just keep flying into my mind. I’m, I’m
sony, what were you saying?
13.54.12 CARTER- Just, just that this is unbelievable.
STARGATE - "Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 13
13.56.28 DANIEL- I know.
14.05.24 HAMMOND- What is it?.
14.06.27 CARTER- Well, I guess you could call it a satellite, sir. According to Daniel, it would
be capable of detecting approaching Goa’uld ships thousands of light years
away.
CARTER (OS CONT)- It’s weapons systems could penetrate Goa’uld shield
technology...
CARTER (CONT)- and destroy motherships. Basically, sir, it’s the basis of the perfect
anti-Goa’uld defense system.
14.27.10 DANIEL- Of course, we’d need to build an entire network of them and launch them
into orbit.
17.30.25 HAMMOND- Can we do that?
14.31.26 CARTER (OS)- Well, sir, this is an entirely new...
CARTER (CONT)- kind of technology. We’d need to bring in outside help. A lot of it.
CARTER (OS CONT)- Engineers. Physicists.
14.39.22 DANIEL- Ultimately, it means we don’t have to involve the Tok’ra.
14.43.08 HAMMOND- Why not?
STARGATE- =Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 14
14.43.20 DANIEL (OS)- at the moment, the Goa’uld don’t...
DANIEL (CONT)- care what we’re up to. We’re no immediate threat.
DANIEL (OS CONT)- If it gets out that we’ve suddenly advanced to this level
technology...
DANIEL (CONT)- we wouldn’t be able to build this defense system fast enough.
14.52.18 HAMMOND- You think the Tok’ra would betray us?
14.54.27 DANIEL (OS)- Maybe not intentionally. But they’ve had problems...
DANIEL (CONT)- Goa’uld spies before. I don’t think it’s worth the risk. Not when
can do this without them.
15.04.23 HAMMOND- I’ll take that into consideration. What about the boy?.
15.08.14 DANIEL-Well, he doesn’thaveto mmemberan~hing now. He’sg~en me ~lthe
knowledge we need.
15.12.01 HAMMOND- How he did that is what concems me.
15.15.00 DANIEL- He’s no danger, sir.
STARGATE - =Absolute PoweY’ (#~718) Page 15
15.16.18 HAMMOND (OS)- Still, as long as he’s...
HAMMOND (CONT)- here he should be kept under dose guard. (beat) Ill talk to
Pentagon about bringing...
HAMMOND (OS CONT~ in some more personnel to help you out.
15.39.06 TEAL’C- Daniel Jackson.
15.41.07 DANIEL- Teal’c.
15.42.04 TEAL’C- I was unable to complete my kelnoreem. (beat) What is of such importance
that I should be summoned here immediately?.
15.57.25 DANIEL- Um, what does this mean?
16.05.18 TEAL’C- I believe the dosest translation would be sub-atomic energy particles.
16.09.23 DANIEL- That’s what I thought. Thank you. (beat) That’s it. You can go back
whatever you were doing. (beat)
DANIEL (OS CONT)- Bottom line is, it’s...
DANIEL (CONT)- going to require the entire forces of the SGC to focus on the
retrieval of raw Naquadah for the time being.
16.41.22 CARTER- ff we ask the Tok’ra for help-
STARGATE- "Absolute PoweY’ (#6718) Page 16
16.42.28 DANIEL (OS)- Major Davis?
DANIEL (CONT)- You’ve prepared a budget and timetable based on the date, hm?
16.45.19 MAJOR DAVIS (OS)- The Pentagon has budgeted the...
MAJOR DAVIS (CONT)- construction and launch of the satellite network at eighty
billion dollam. The estimated time of completion to be two yearn after the start
date.
16.53.00 DANIEL- That’s unacceptable.
16.53.27 MAJOR DAVIS- Well, if we involve the Russians in a co-operative effort -
16.56.08 DANIEL- No.
16.59.10 MAJOR DAVIS- I’m sorry?.
17.00.09 DANIEL- I said no.
17.01.15 MAJOR DAVIS (OS)- The Russian govemment has agreed to stop using their...
MAJOR DAVIS (CONT)- Stargate on the condition that we share all information
gathered by the SGC. Now we have to tell them -
17.08.16 DANIEL- No, we don’t.
STARGATE - "Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 17
17.11.00 MAJOR DAVIS- But...
17.11.13 DANIEL- It’s okay. I have a way of rendering their gate inactive.
17.14.00 CARTER- You do?
17.14.27 MAJOR DAVIS (OS)- Well that’s...
MAJOR DAVIS (CONT)- not the point.
17.15.28 DANIEL (OS)- The point is...
DANIEL (CONT)- we don’t know if the Russians are turning around and trading those
secrets.
DANIEL (OS CONT)- Now this project is too important to get screwed up by petty
Earth politics.
DANIEL (CONT)- We’re talking about protecting this entire planet from Goa’uld
occupation.
17.26.17 MAJOR DAVIS- Well I imagine that several of the so-called petty nations of this
planet...
MAJOR DAVIS (OS CONT)- are going to be very curious when we start launching
satellite...
MAJOR DAVIS (CONT)- weapons into orbit two years from now.
17.34.28 DANIEL- One year from now.
STARGATE - "Absolute Power" (~718) Page 18
17.36.17 MAJOR DAVIS- That’s impossible. It, it would double the cost.
17.38.21 DANIEL- Then it’s not impossible, is it? (beat)
DANIEL (OS CONT)- Obviously, most of the workload will be contracted...
DANIEL (CONT)- out to the private sector so there’ll have to be a strategic...
DANIEL (OS CONT)- division of labor in order to maintain the secunty of the project.
Major Davis, if you could also see to this.
17.54.23 MAJOR DAVIS- What is this?
17.55.07 DANIEL (OS)- That’s...
DANIEL (CONT)- a few personal requirements that I’m sure the Pentagon will
happy...
DANIEL (OS CONT)- to provide me with given the nature of continued contributions.
DANIEL (CONT)- Please see that it gets approved as soon as possible. (beat)
Gentlemen.
18.13.05 MAJOR DAVIS- Personal requirements?!
18.25.23 O’NEILL (OS)- Hey. What’s going on?
O’NEILL (CONT)- what are you doing?
18.30.28 DANIEL- I know exactly how this works now, but you need Naquadah in your blood or
you can’t make it do anything.
STARGATE- =Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 19
18.37.05 O’NEILL- Have you considered that maybe that’s a good thing?
18.43.22 DANIEL- Something on your mind?
18.45.10 O’NEILL- Your behavior as a matter of fact.
18.48.15 DANIEL- What about?.
18.49.24 O’NEILL- Well, for starters, who gave you the authority to give orders around here?
18.53.26 DANIEL- Actually, the Pentagon. (beat) Look, maybe I haven’t been exactly patient
lately but I’m, I’m just doing what has to be done. I have the knowledge. I have
to make sure it gets used pmpedy.
DANIEL (OS CONT)- Now I can elevate us to the point of wiping out the Goa’uld...
DANIEL (CONT)- or I can watch it all go to waste.
19.11.21 O’NEILL- You’re under a lot of pressure. I understand.
19.15.15 DANIEL- I recommended that you oversee the entire Naquadah retrieval operation.
19.18.16 O’NEILL- Oh, yeah, thank you very much, by the way. I can either accept the position
or retire.
STARGATE - =Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 20
19.23.25 DANIEL- Why aren’t you behind me on all of this? I mean, I, I’m finally taking your
position. Let’s, let’s build weapons. Let’s, let’s kick some Goa’uld ass. (beat)
Because it, it’s me saying it, I’m suddenly a bad guy?.
19.43.16 O’NEILL- Where’s Teal’c?
19.54.00 DANIEL- He’s on a mission.
19.56.06 O’NEILL- What mission?
19.57.25 DANIEL- The one I sent him on.
19.59.10 O’NEILL- When’s he gonna be back?.
20.00.06 DANIEL (OS)- When he’s done.
DANIEL (CONT)- Jack,... (beat) I’ve got a lot of work to
DANIEL (OS CONT)- And so do you. So please.
DANIEL (CONT)- Help me (beat) Or leave.
20.37.13 APOPHIS- Please. I beg you. Have mercy.
21.43.05 ASSISTANT- Good moming, Dr. Jackson. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is
already waiting for your 0900 briefing. You also have a message form Cad
Smith at NASA regarding the AG’s disbursement mechanism.
STARGATE - =Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 21
21.53.13 DANIEL- Are they on schedule yet?
21.54.12 ASSISTANT- Ah, no.
21.55.14 DANIEL- Unbelievable.
21.56.17 ASSISTANT- And Major Carter...
ASSISTANT (OS CONT)- is here to see you.
21.58.26 DANIEL (OS)- Send her away. And find out why...
DANIEL (CONT)- she still has a valid security pass.
22.03.25 ASSISTANT (OS)- Right away, Dr. Jackson.
22.05.16 LEFT TECH- Good morning, Dr. Jackson.
22.10.05 RIGHT TECH- Morning, sir.
22.12.23 MAID (OS)- What can I make for you this moming, Dr. Jackson?
22.15.10 DANIEL- I’m not hungry.
22.17.21 MAID- Of course.
STARGATE -"Absolute Power~ (#6718) Page 22
22.19.10 SHIFU- Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
22.23.02 DANIEL- Oma teach you that?
22.25.01 SHIFU- Television.
22.27.20 DANIEL- Glad I’ve been such a positive influenc~e.
22.30.21 CARTER- Daniel!
22.31.11 ASSISTANT- I’m sorry, Dr. Jackson. She insisted.
22.34.11 DANIEL- It’s okay.
22.39.08 CARTER- You can’t seriously think you’re going to get away with this?
22.42.00 DANIEL- What are you talking about, Sam?
22.43.12 CARTER- What you’re doing. What you’ve got planned.
CARTER (OS CONT)- That’s why you had me removed from the...
CARTER (CONT)- project. You knew I’d figure it out eventually.
STARGATE - =Absolute PoweY’ (#6718) Page 23
22.51.02 DANIEL- I relieved you of your responsibilities because you were starting to crack
under the pressure.
DANIEL (OS CONT)- You seem to have completely lost all perspective.
DANIEL (CONT)- Quite frankly, I think your jealously finally...
DANIEL (OS CONT)- got the best of you.
23.03.05
23.21.12
CARTER- Jealousy?.!
CARTER (OS CONT)- I’ll tell you why it’s hard to maintain...
CARTER (CONT)- perspective, Daniel. Strategic division of labor.
CARTER (OS CONT)- All in an effort to keep anyone...
CARTER (CONT)- from seeing the big picture.
DANIEL- What exactly do you think you’ve figure out, Sam?
23.23.17 CARTER- Oh, you know damn well what I’m talking about. (beat)- What have you
done to him?
23.31.22 DANIEL- You leave him out of this.
23.34.00 CARTER- Can’t you see what you’ve become?
23.35.26 DANIEL (OS)- I didn’t change, Sam.
DANIEL (CONT)- You did.
STARGATE - "Absolute Power~ (~6718) Page 24
23.38.02 CARTER (OS)- You can’t...
CARTER (CONT)- stop me from telling people what’s really going on. They’ll listen.
You’ll never get away with this.
23.45.11 ASSISTANT- Is she insane?
24.08.10 CARTER- Sir, thank you for coming.
24.12.06 O’NEILL- What are you doing, Carter?.
24.13.28 CARTER- I’m trying to do what’s right. I have talked to everyone I know. No one’s
answering my calls, responding to my e-mails, even my lettem.
24.22.13 O’NEILL- Because they think you’re nuts.
24.26.15 CARTER- What do you think?
24.29.19 O’NEILL- We’re talking about Daniel here. Sometimes he can be a little odd, every
once in awhile he gets carded away, but he’s not going to do anything to
jeopardize the entire planet.
24.39.25 CARTER- I’m not so sure, sir.
24.41.15 O’NEILL- There are a lot of very smart people who believe in this.
STARGATE- "Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 25
24.44.21 CARTER- He’s got them brainwashed.
24.45.26 O’NEILL- Carter...
24.46.05 CARTER (OS)- What about Teal’c?
CARTER (CONT)- You don’t still blame Daniel for that?.
24.50.01 O’NEILL- I couldn’t prove anything. Can you?
24.53.27 CARTER- No. (beat) I just have my opinion. But that used to be worth something
you.
O’NEILL- Look Carter, you helped Daniel create these weapons.
25.07.23 CARTER- I know.
25.09.03 O’NEILL (OS)- Well, you couldn’t stop it.
O’NEILL (CONT)- What do you expect me to do?
25.11.05 CARTER- Talk to him. (beat)
CARTER (OS CONT)- Sir, you have to try.
CARTER (CONT)- Somebody has to stop him before it’s too late.
25.38.10 DANIEL- Jack. (beat) Nice to see you.
STARGATE -"Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 26
25.44.18 O’NEILL- You too. It’s been awhile, huh? (beat) I love the place. I love what you’ve
done to it.
25.53.12 DANIEL- I’m sorry I haven’t kept in touch.
25.55.10 O’NEILL-Ah, you’ve been busy.
25.56.17 DANIEL- Yeah. Well, the truth is, we couldn’t have done any of this without your help.
And I probably should have been more appreciative.
26.01.17 O’NEILL- The fruit basket was nice.
26.05.00 DANIEL- Can’t be a coincidence you showed up here the day of the launch.
26.09.00 O’NEILL- Is that today?.
26.10.18 DANIEL- Yeah, that’s supposed to be top secret.
26.12.24 O’NEILL- Who knew?.
26.16.05 DANIEL- You want to stay and watch?
26.18.06 O’NEILL- You got a big screen?
STARGATE - "Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 27
26.22.03 DANIEL- Come here.
26.30.25 O’NEILL- Why?.
26.31.21 DANIEL- You’ll see.
26.39.17 O’NEILL- What?.
26.55.15 DANIEL (OS)- Elevators are such a pain in the ass.
26.58.26 OFF SCREEN TECH (VO)- Systems are on line.
27.03.24 OFF SCREEN TECH #2 (VO)- LC systems are good.
27.11.09 DANIEL- What do you think?.
27.12.17 OFF SCREEN TECH #3 (VO)- Commence calibration of prima~j sensors in five, four,
three...
27.20.19 O’NEILL- It’s cool. It’s kind of like Vegas.
27.24.00 DANIEL (OS)- Actually...
DANIEL (CONT)- we’ve got three to one odds in favor of the launch going off without
hitch.
STARGATE - "Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 28
27.27.00 O’NEILL- Hey, I’ll take some of that action.
27.28.23 DANIEL- Put Colonel O’Neil down for a hundred.
27.38.01 RIGHT TECH- Got it.
27.32.28 O’NEILL- Dollars, right?.
27.35.25 DANIEL- I’m glad you’re here, Jack.
never...
DANIEL (OS CONT)- see you again.
After what happened to Teal’c, I thought I’d
27.40.15 O’NEILL- Oh, ancient history. Besides, I didn’t want to miss watching you save the
world.
27.46.22 DANIEL- Yeah. (beat) Actually, Sam thinks I’m tnjing to take it over.
27.51.18 O’NEILL- Oh, how arch.
27.53.20 DANIEL- Yeah.
27.55.08 O’NEILL- so you threw her in jail, huh?
STARGATE -"Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 29
27.57.10 DANIEL- She was getting dangerous.
DANIEL (OS CONT)- You think the military didn’t take all kinds...
DANIEL (CONT)- of precautions to make sure I couldn’t just control everything.
28.05.06 O’NEILL- So what is all this?
28.08.17 DANIEL- Basically, a big screen T.V.
DANIEL (OS CONT)- So, we can watch and...
DANIEL (CONT)- fix things if it goes wrong.
28.15.15 RIGHT TECH (OS)- Dr. Jackson...
RIGHT TECH (CONT)- the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is on channel one.
28.21.24 GENERAL VIDRINE- Congratulations, Dr. Jackson.
GENERAL VIDRINE (OS CONT)- We’ve all worked very hard for this day.
28.26.18 DANIEL- Thank you. Congratulations to you.
28.28.00 GENERAL VIDRINE- We’re a go for launch. Commencing twenty-second countdown.
28.33.15 LEFT TECH (OS)- All systems go.
LEFT TECH (CONT)- The clock is running.
STARGATE - =Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 30
28.35.24 DANIEL- We’ve got 24 delivery systems all launching concurrently.
DANIEL (OS CONT)- Each one is carrying twelve AG-3’s that will...
DANIEL (CONT)- disperse once they reach orbit.
28.47.14 LEFT TECH- Five ....
LEFT TECH (OS CONT)- four, three, two ....
LEFT TECH (CONT)- one.
LEFT TECH (OS CONT)- Ignition. We have lift off.
29.13.12 RIGHT TECH- Switching to disbursement tracking system.
29.37.29 REAR TECH- Disbursement in progress.
29.39.19 RIGHT TECH (OS)- AG monitoring system coming on line.
29.42.03 LEFT TECH- All systems are functioning. The network is in place.
29.47.03 DANIEL- That’s it. (beat) Pay the winners. (beat) You sure? It’s ah, two thousand
dollars a bottle.
30.08.04 O’NEILL- No, thanks.
30.10.28 DANIEL- Come on, Jack, you’re about to become an intemational hero.
STARGATE- =Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 31
30.13.26 O’NEILL- What do you mean?
30.15.11 DANIEL- Well, now that we have a way of defending ourselves against the Goa’uld,
the President is going to make the Stargate’s existence public knowledge.
30.23.18 LEFT TECH- Dr. Jackson...
30.25.28 REPORTER- I’m Amy Jenson live on Capital Hill. The President has postponed his
public address amid speculation...
REPORTER (VO CONT)- that an international crisis is developing over the top secret
launch of what is being called a new, cutting edge satellite communications
network. No o~cial statement from the White House yet but we assume a
statement is forthcoming.
30.45.05 DANIEL- What’s going on?
30.47.05 GENERAL VIDRINE- The Russians have gone on high alert. The Chinese are
following suit. The Russians are repositioning one of their anti-satellite
weapons. Looks like they’re going to try and take out one of our AG-3’s.
30.58.12 DANIEL- Did they respond to the statement?
STARGATE -=Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 32
30.59.26 GENERAL VIDRINE- The Russian Parliament considers the secret development and
deployment of this new...
GENERAL VIDRINE (VO CONT)- alien technology weapons system to be a direct
violation of prior agreements to share all information garnered through the
Stargate program. Unless control of this system is relinquished immediately ....
GENERAL VIDRINE (CONT)- it will be considered an act of aggression and will
responded to as such.
31.21.18 DANIEL- That’s pretty much what we expected.
31.23.11 GENERAL VIDRINE- Yes.
31.25.02 DANIEL- The my advice to the President would be we have to demonstrate what
we’re capable of.
31.29.01 GENERAL VIDRINE- I suggested that to him already and the President agrees.
31.35.07 LEFT TECH (OS)- Receiving authorization...
LEFT TECH (CONT)- to target Russian Satellite. (beat) We have target lock.
LEFT TECH (OS CONT)- System is firing. (beat)
LEFT TECH (CONT)- Target has been eliminated.
32.08.18 GENERAL VIDRINE- Very effective.
GENERAL VIDRINE (VO CONT)- Everyone here is quite impressed.
STARGATE -"Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 33
32.12.24 DANIEL- Let’s hope the Russians are as well.
32.14.27 GENERAL VIDRINE- We predicted their next step would be to launch more anti-
satellite weapons and that’s exactly what they’re doing. I’m sure they’re...
GENERAL VIDRINE (VO CONT)- moving rockets into position as we speak.
32.24.06 DANIEL- And your next step?
32.25.10 GENERAL VIDRINE (VO)- We’re preparing a proportional response.
GENERAL VIDRINE (CONT)- I’m recommending we take out their launch site.
32.33.05 DANIEL- Well this is all leading to a full scale nuclear attack though, isn’t it?
32.37.26 GENERAL VIDRINE- Unless we comply with their demands. Yes. That would be a
high probability.
32.44.14 DANIEL- Shouldn’t we just nip this in the bud?
32.47.16 GENERAL VIDRINE (VO)- Given our new ability...
GENERAL VIDRINE (CONT)- to defend ourselves, we don’t see the need to jump the
gun.
GENERAL VIDRINE (OS CONT)- The President is currently rethinking our position
unilateral control of the system.
STARGATE -"Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 34
32.57.03 DANIEL- I see.
33.09.02 GENERAL VIDRINE- Dr. Jack~on, what are you doing?
33.10.11 DANIEL- as I suspected, the President is obviously failing to overcome a lack of
necessary leadership abilities so I’m going to have to step in and prevent a
global nuclear war.
33.19.06 GENERAL VIDRINE (VO)- You’re not supposed to be able to do this.
GENERAL VIDRINE (CONT)- You cannot do this.
32.22.18 DANIEL- I’ve already done this. This bunker is well protected. Don’t even think about
sending a cruise missile our way.
33.27.00 GENERAL VIDRINE- Dr. Jackson!
33.29.07 DANIEL (OS)- I don’t know about the rest of you...
DANIEL (CONT)- but I’ve had enough of that guy.
33.34.23 O’NEILL- Daniel,...
O’NEILL (OS CONT)- what are you doing?
STARGATE -=Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 35
33.37.13 DANIEL- Proportional response only makes sense when the playing field is even.
DANIEL (OS CONT)- We have a distinct advantage here.
DANIEL (CONT)- The problem is the other side just doesn’t understand how wide the
gap is. What they really need is a visual aid.
33.48.10 LEFT TECH- AG system targeting Moscow.
33.54.11 O’NEILL- Daniel.
33.55.03 DANIEL- Don’t worry. There’s no threat of residual radiation spreading. It’s quick and
dean. (beat) Like cutting your enemy’s heart out with a scalpel. (beat) Didn’t
you think it was strange that you got through security with a loaded gun.
34.26.14 O’NEILL- A little.
34.31.09 DANIEL- You never were that bright.
34.36.13 O’NEILL- No. (beat) Daniel, think about one thing before you do this. We never
proved that kid was a Harsesis.
34.59.15 DANIEL- What are you talking about?
35.00.22 O’NEILL- Everything he put in your head. The Goa’uld have used mind control before.
STARGATE- =Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 36
35.07.04 DANIEL- You think this is some elaborate Goa’uld plot to get me to destroy the world?
35.10.03 O’NEILL- We’ve seen them use kids too.
35.14.17 DANIEL- Use Shifu to put a bunch of stuff in my head, get me to build the weapons,
only to eventually tum them on Earth.
35.20.09 O’NEILL- It’s possible.
35.23.02 DANIEL- There’s only one flaw in that theory. (beat) You’re assuming this is not what
I wanted all along.
35.32.00 O’NEILL- Don’t. Don’t.
35.40.23 LEFT TECH- System is firing. (beat) Target has been eliminated.
36.20.03 O’NEILL (OS)- Still nothing?
36.21.09 FRAISER- No. There’s nothing physically wrong with him. Nothing I can find.
36.26.03 O’NEILL- Except for the fact that he’s in a coma.
36.28.01 FRAISER- It’s not really a coma. He still has rapid eye movement.
STARGATE -=Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 37
36.42.00 ALDVVIN- The fact is...
ALDWIN (OS CONT)- he may not be the Harsesis at all.
36.47.04 HAMMOND (OS)- Are you saying this could be some sort of Goa’uld trick?.
36.50.22 TEAL’C- As we have seen the Goa’uld are not above using human children as
weapons.
36.55.19 CARTER- Well, all Shifu would say is that he is teaching Daniel.
37.00.16 O’NEILL- So, what do we do?
37.03.10 ALDWIN- As you know, the Zatarc detector’s original purpose was to detect
deception.
ALDWIN (OS CONT)- We could at the very least...
ALDWIN (CONT)- determine whether the boy is actually a Harsesis and possibly what
he did to Dr. Jackson.
37.13.24 CARTER- Basically, a lie detector test.
37.15.27 ALDWIN- No harm would come to him.
37.17.06 O’NEILL- And what? Just hope he doesn’t explode in the meantime.
STARGATE- =Absolute Power~ (~6718) Page 38
37.22.02 ALDVVIN- Hope he really is who he says he is.
37.25.24 HAMMOND- And maybe help Dr. Jackson.
37.36.23 CARTER (OS)- It’s just a precaution.
CARTER (CONT)- I had this done to me once and I had to wear them too.
37.41.13 SHIFU- The mind is always free.
37.47.10 ALDVVlN (OS)- This will hurt a little. After that, I promise you will feel no pain.
ALDWlN (CON’I’)- I will merely ask you some questions.
37.53.07 SHIFU- Questions are plentiful. Answers are few.
37.57.06 ALDWIN- I’ll try and keep it simple. (beat) Ready? (beat) Direct your vision here.
ALDVVlN (OS CONT)- First question. What is your name?
38.34.28 SHIFU- Shifu.
38.36.18 ALDVVIN- Are you Harsesis?
38.38.15 SHIFU- I am many things.
38.41.14 ALDVVIN- Do you possess the genetic knowledge passed to you by Apophis?
STARGATE- °Absolute Power~ (#6718) Page 39
38.45.05 SHIFU- Yes.
38.49.02 CARTER- What did you do to Daniel?
38.51.14 SHIFUo Dreams sometimes teach. I am teaching him.
38.55.23 CARTER- Teaching him what?
38.58.02 SHIFU- That the true nature of a man is determined in the battle between his
consdous mind and his subconscious. And that the evil in my subconscious is
too strong to resist.
39.15.15 DANIEL- The only way to win is to deny the battle.
38.23.23 SHIFU- As Oma teaches.
39.29.12 FRAISER- He woke up a few minutes ago.
39.32.17 DANIEL- One of these days I’m gonna figure out if she’s worth listening to.
39.38.23 CARTER- What happened?
39.40.21 DANIEL- I was having a dream.
STARGATE - ~Absolute Power" (#6718) Page 40
39.43.00 CARTER- About what?
39.44.19 DANIEL- That’s not really important. The important thing is... (beat) It’s time I chose
a new path.
39.52.13 SHIFU- It is time for me to continue on mind.
39.55.21 ALDWIN- Wait a minute, if he really is Harsesis...
39.58.27 DANIEL- He is.
40.00.14 ALDWlN (OS)- We can still extract...
ALDWlN (CONT)- some very valuable information from him.
40.03.28 DANIEL- No, you can’t.
40.08.12 ALDWIN- I don’t understand.
40.10.01 DANIEL- I know.
40.13.19 SHIFU- Thank-you for telling me of my mother.
40.16.06 DANIEL- She would have been very proud of you.
STARGATE - =Absolute Power" (~6718) Page 41
40.18.19 SHIFU- Of you as wall.
40.24.24 DANIEL- Will I see you again?
40.26.28 SHIFU- All roads eventually lead to the great path.
40.31.26 DANIEL- Eventually.
40.33.19 SHIFU- Many cross on the way.
40.47.05 ALDWiN- What’s going on? We’re not just going to let him leave.
40.49,21 CARTER- I don’t think wa have a choice.
41.13.00 O’NEILL- General. I highly recommend you order all personnel to stand down and get
the heck out of the way.
41.18.02 HAMMOND- Are you sure, Colonel?
41.19.10 O’NEILL- The altemative might not be so pretty.
STARGATE- "Absolute Power~ (#6718) Page 42
41.21.28 HAMMOND- VVhat am I supposed to say?. (beat) All personnel this is General
Hammond. A glowing energy being...
HAMMOND (VO CONT)- is headed for level twenty-eight. We believe it is heading
the gateroom. Lower your weapons and do not attempt to intercept it.
41.52.19 TECHNICIAN- The gate just opened, sir.
