Original subtitles

O'Neill: Yeah, kasuf.

Aboutthis voice that spoke to you...

Yes. It spoke the name of my daughter,

may she rest in peace.

I'm not the only one who heard it.

Many fear it is a sign

that the gods are returning.

I thought we'd finally convinced you and your people

that the goa'ulds were not gods.

I said "many," not "I."

But it is easy to understand.

In the days of ra,

when he returned from a journey,

a great storm would blow through the desert.

It's just wind. Wind happens.

Carter: We're talking about a wind

that blew out of an active Stargate.

And formed a sandstorm.

Don't forget it said the name "churai."

Yeah, well, it's not like it's a burning bush or anything.

I've seen many bushes burn.

I suppose you have.

It's not far now.

Here.

There's nothing here.

A nice light breeze.

This is where I heard the voice.

I'm getting a build—up of static electricity, sir.

Female voice: Daniel.

Did anybody else just hear that?

I think so.

Look!

Now, that's impressive!

Female voice: Daniel...

Daniel!

Try to keep in the canyons, huh?

I was just, uh...

I'm Daniel! Who's calling?

I am shifu.

I am harcesis.

Well, ithinkthat he is the harcesis.

How is that possible?

I'm not sure. He says he grew like the weeds.

Apophis sired the child to be his next host.

It is possible he used Goa'uld technology

to manipulate the boy's body to mature quickly.

We know that's possible.

Does he speak of the knowledge

passed on to him by apophis?

He says oma taught him to forget.

Oma?

The alien we encountered on camp mother nature.

I guess that explains the tornado.

Shifu says he came to abydos

to learn more about his mother.

Shifu?

His name. It means light.

Ithinkwe should have Dr. Fraiser take a look at him.

If he's been altered to grow quickly,

it could still be happening.

You think it's wise to bring him back?

I don'tthink he's a danger.

What about his stepmom? Is she coming along?

H e says that, ultimately,

a man travels his chosen path alone.

Smart kid.

Get a message to Hammond.

Let him know who we're bringing.

O'Neill: Shifu, this is general Hammond.

He's the leader of this facility.

Welcome to earth.

A spark lights a flame,

but the candle will only burn

as long as the wick.

If I may, sir, ithinkwhat he means is...

The wick is the center of the candle.

Ostensibly, a great leader, like yourself,

is essential to the... Whole ball of wax.

Basically what he means

is that it's always better to have

a big, long wick. Right?

Don't look at me.

This... this way.

He's right, though. Right?

Okay. Now...

I am going to take a little bit

of your blood with that needle.

Will you return itto me when you are done?

I'm afraid I can't.

You see, I have to do some tests on it,

and then it just won't be very good after that.

Leaves fall from the tree once a year.

The tree still grows strong and proud.

Go ahead.

Okay.

Doctor.

Sir, I found traces 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,

an d they say that they appear to be inactive.

So th ey... sh ut themselves off already?

Well, it's possible the boy has

already reached the preprogrammed age.

Or oma figured out a way to stop it.

Either way, we can assume

he's in no immediate physical danger?

Yes, sir.

What about the information this boy apparently knows?

What exactly can he tell us?

He was born with a genetic memory

of all Goa'uld that came before him.

So the kid should know

everything apophis knew when he...

Fathered th e boy.

That.

That must be an awfully big burden

for a young child to carry.

That is why all Goa'uld are born evil.

It also explains why a benevolent being

like oma desala would help the boy

to Bury those memories in his subconscious,

so he could lead a normal life.

Sir, we have received word from the tok'ra.

Did we really have to call them?

Hammond: We have atreaty with them, colonel.

Specifically mentioned is the full exchange

of all potential sources of information

pertaining to the Goa'uld.

They say they can use

the memory recall device

to extract in formation

from shifu without harming him physically.

But what about mentally?

What about emotionally?

I mean, think about what we'd be exposing him to.

We'd be flooding his mind

with the thoughts of a thousand Hitlers,

one of whom happened to put

a snake in the head of his mother.

Look, I realize we're talking about protecting earth

and potentially eliminating

the Goa'uld entirely, but—...

It seems to me the boy is fairly wise,

well beyond his years, in fact.

Isn't it possible he might comprehend

the situation if you explained itto him?

Well, I guess so, but I doubt

he'd be willing to remember.

And even if he is,

how can we ask him to?

Well, if he forgot once,

maybe he could forget again.

She spoke to you

through the Goa'uld hand device?

Yes.

She was strong.

In those moments, as amaunet tried to kill me,

it felt like I lived a lifetime.

Like a dream.

Yes.

Dreams teach.

Sometimes. In this one,

I got the chance to say goodbye,

and your mother told me how important you were.

Oma teaches the true nature of man

is decided in the battle between his conscious mind

and the desires of his subconscious.

Oma teach es the evil in my subconscious

is too strong to resist.

The only way to win is to deny it battle.

Yeah.

See, the thing is...

We can't deny the battle

against the Goa'uld forever,

and the information contained within your buried memories

could really help us.

You have chosen a path that leads to me because of this?

Yes.

You must release your burden

before you will find your own way again.

Yeah. Someone else

once said that to me.

The thing is... this is my way.

I chose this path to honor sha're's strength,

and ultimately, it isn'tjust about me...

Or you, for that matter.

I understand.

The tok'ra have a way to help you

remember only certain things—...

How Goa'uld technology works, their weaknesses.

And then afterwards, maybe oma can help you forget again.

If the instrument is broken,

the music will be sour.

The music does not playthe musician.

Normally, there's truth in that.

Really?

Good...

Because I really didn't have any idea

what I was talking aboutthen.

All I know is, this is very important,

or iwouldn't ask.

Colonel...

He's awake.

What happened?

I was going to ask you the same thing.

You were talking to the boy,

and then you suddenly collapsed.

Hey.

How are you feeling?

Fine. I'm, uh...

I'm fine.

Um... listen.

What happened with the kid in there?

I asked him for something...

Anything that could help us fightthe Goa'uld.

Yeah?

And ithink he gave itto me.

These are the long—range sensors.

I don't even know whatto ask first.

Well, the translation may be a little off.

Everything in my head is actually in Goa'uld.

Where does it get its power from?

Liquid naquadah fuel cell here.

Liquid naquadah?

Well, actually, it's heavy liquid naquadah,

but don't ask me what makes it heavy,

at least not yet.

Daniel, this...

You okay?

Yeah. It's just that, um...

Strange things just keep flying into my mind.

I'm sorry. What were you saying?

Justthatthis is unbelievable.

I know.

What is it?

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.

Its weapons systems

could penetrate Goa'uld shield technology

and destroy mother ships.

Basically, sir, it's the basis

of the perfect anti—goa'uld defense system.

Of course, we need to build

an entire network of them and launch them into orbit.

Can we do that?

Well, sir, this is an entirely new kind of technology.

We'd need to bring in outside help, a lot of it—...

Engineers, physicists.

But ultimately, it means we don't have to involve the tok'ra.

Why not?

At the moment, the Goa'uld don't care what we're up to.

We're no immediate threat.

If it gets out we've suddenly advanced to this level of technology,

we wouldn't be able to build this defense system fast enough.

You thinkthetok'ra would betray us?

Maybe not intentionally,

but they've had problems with Goa'uld spies before.

I don'tthink it's worth the risk,

not when we can do this withoutthem.

I'll take that into consideration.

What about th e boy?

Well, he doesn't have to remember anything now.

He's given me all the knowledge we need.

How he did that is what concerns me.

He's no danger, sir.

Still, as long as he's here,

he should be kept under close guard.

I'll talk to the Pentagon about bringing in

some more personnel to help you out.

Daniel Jackson.

Teal'c.

I was unable to complete my kelno'reem.

What is of such importance

that I should be summoned here immediately?

Um...

What does this mean?

I believe the closest translation

would be "subatomic energy particles."

That's what I thought. Thank you.

That's it. You can, uh...

You can go back to whatever you were doing.

Bottom line is, it's going to require the resources

of the entire s.G.C. To focus on the retrieval

of raw naquadah for the time being.

Asked the tok'ra for help—...

Major Davis, you prepared a budget and timetable based on the data?

Davis: The Pentagon has budgeted the construction

and launch of the satellite network at $80 billion.

Estimated time of completion

to be two years after the start date.

That's unacceptable.

If we involve the Russians in a cooperative effort—...

No.

I'm sorry?

I said no.

The Russian government has agreed to stop using their Stargate

on the condition that we share all information gathered by the s.G.C.

Now, we have to tell them.

No, we don't.

But—...

It's okay. I have a way of rendering their gate inactive.

You do?

That's really not the point. The point is,

we don't know if the Russians are turning around and trading those secrets.

This project is too important to get screwed up by petty earth politics.

We're talking about protecting this entire planet

from Goa'uld occupation.

I imagine that several

of the so—called petty nations of this planet

are going to be very curious when we start launching

satellite weapons into orbit two years from now.

One year from now.

That's impossible. It would double the cost.

Then it's not impossible, is it?

Obviously, most of the workload

will have to be contracted out to the private sector,

so there will have to be

a strategic division of labor in order to maintain

the security of the project.

Major Davis, if you could also see to this.

What is this?

It's a few personal requirements.

I'm sure the Pentagon will be happy to provide me with,

given the nature of my continued contributions.

Please see that it gets approved as soon as possible.

Gentlemen.

"Personal requirements."

Hey, what's going on?

What are you doing?

I know exactly how this works now,

but you need naquadah in your blood,

or you can't make it do anything.

Have you considered that maybe that's a good thing?

Something on your mind?

Your behavior, as a matter of fact.

What about it?

Well, for starters, who gave you the authority

to give orders around here?

Actually, th e Pentagon.

Look, maybe I haven't exactly been patient lately,

but I'm just doing what has to be done.

I have the knowledge.

I have to make sure it gets used properly.

Now, I can elevate us to the point

of wiping out the Goa'uld,

or I can watch it all go to waste.

You're under a lot of pressure.

I understand.

I recommended you to oversee

the entire naquadah retrieval operation.

Oh, yeah. Thank you very much, by the way.

I can either accept the position or retire.

Why aren't you behind me on allthis?

I mean... I'm finally taking your position.

Let's build weapons. Let's kick some Goa'uld ass.

Because it's me saying it, I'm suddenly a bad guy?

Where's Teal'c?

He's on a mission.

What mission?

The one isent him on.

When's he gonna be back?

When he's done. Jack...

I've got a lot of work to do,

and so do you. So, please...

Help me... or leave.

Please let me go. Have mercy.

Aah!

Good morning, Dr. Jackson.

The chairman of the joint chiefs

is already waiting for your 09:00 briefing.

You also have a message

from Karl Smith at n.A.S.A.

Regarding the a.G. Disbursement mechanism.

Are they on schedule yet?

No. Unbelievable.

And major Carter is here to see you.

Send her away.

And find out why she still has

a valid security pass.

Right away, Dr. Jackson.

Good morning, Dr. Jackson.

Good morning, sir.

What can I make for you this morning, Dr. Jackson?

I'm not hungry.

Of course.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Oma teach you that?

Television.

Glad I've been such a positive influence.

Daniel!

Woman: I'm sorry, Dr. Jackson. She insisted.

It's okay.

You can't seriously think

you're gonna get away with this?

What are you talking about, Sam?

What you're doing, what you've got planned.

That's why you had me removed from the project.

You knew I'd figure it out eventually.

I relieved you of your responsibilities

because you were starting to crack under the pressure.

You seem to have lost all perspective.

Quite frankly, ithink your jealousy

finally got the best of you.

Jealousy?

I'll tell you why it's hard

to maintain perspective, Daniel.

Strategic division of labor,

all in an effort to keep anyone

from seeing the big picture.

Aah!

What exactly do you think you figured out, Sam?

You know damn well what I'm talking about.

What have you done to him?

You leave him out of this.

Can't you see what you've become?

I didn't change, Sam. You did.

You can't stop me from telling people what's really going on!

They'll listen! You'll never get away with this!

Is she insane?

Sir, thank you for coming.

What are you doing, Carter?

I'm trying to do what's right.

Now, I have talked to everyone I know.

No one's answering my calls,

respon ding to my e—mails, even my letters.

Because they think you're nuts.

What do you think?

We're talking about Daniel here.

Sometimes he can be a little... odd.

Every once in a while, he gets carried away.

But he's not going to do anything

to jeopardize the entire planet.

I'm not so sure, sir.

There are a lot of very smart people who believe in this.

He's got them brainwashed.

Carter! What about Teal'c?

You don't still blame Daniel for that?

I couldn't prove anything. Can you?

No.

I just have my opinion,

but that used to be worth something to you.

Look, Carter...

You helped Daniel create these weapons.

I know.

You couldn't stop it. What do you expect me to do?

Talk to him.

Carter: Sir, you have to try.

Somebody has to stop him

before it's too late.

Jack.

Nice to see you.

You, too. It's been a while, huh?

I love the place,

love what you've done with it.

I'm sorry I haven't kept in touch.

You've been busy.

Yeah. Well, the truth is,

we couldn't have done any of this without your help,

and I probably should have been more appreciative.

The fruit basket was nice.

Can't be a coincidence you showed up here the day of the launch.

Is that today?

Yeah. that's supposed to be top—secret.

Who kn ew?

You want to stay and watch?

Got a big—screen?

Come here.

Why?

You'll see.

What?

Elevators are such a pain in the ass.

Man on loudspeaker: Tertiary systems are online.

What do you think?

Woman: Commence calibration of primary sensor arrays

in 5, 4, 3...

It's cool. It's kind of like Vegas.

Actually, we've got

in favor of the launch going off without a hitch.

Hey, I'll take some of that action.

Put colonel O'Neill down for a hundred.

Got it.

Dollars, right?

I'm glad you're here, Jack.

After what happened to Teal'c,

ithought I'd never see you again.

Oh, ancient history.

Besides, I don't want to miss

watching you save th e world.

Yeah.

Actually, Sam thinks I'm trying to take it over.

Oh, how arch.

Yeah.

So you threw her in jail, huh?

She was getting dangerous.

You thinkthe military didn't take

all kinds of precautions to make sure

I couldn't just... Control everything?

So... what is all this?

Basically, a big—screen TV

so we can watch and...

Fix things if it goes wrong.

Woman: Dr. Jackson,

the chairman of the joint chiefs is on channel one.

Congratulations, Dr. Jackson.

We've all worked very hard for this day.

Thank you, and congratulations to you.

We're a go for launch.

Commencing

all systems are go. The clock is running.

We've got

all launching concurrently.

Each one is carrying

that will disperse once they reach orbit.

Ignition.

We have liftoff.

Switching to disbursement tracking system.

Disbursement in progress.

A.g. Monitoring system coming online.

All systems are functioning.

The network is in place.

That's it.

Pay the winners.

You sure?

It's $2,000 a bottle.

No, thanks.

Come on, Jack.

You're aboutto become an international hero.

What do you mean?

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.

Dr. Jackson.

I'm amyjenson, live on capitol hill.

The president has postponed his public address

amid speculation an international crisis

is developing over the top—secret launch

of what is being called

"a new, cutting—edge satellite communications network."

No official statement from the white house yet.

However, we assume a statement is forthcoming.

What's going on?

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 a.G.—3's.

Did they respond to th e statement?

The Russian parliament considers

the secret development and deployment

of this new 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,

it will be considered an act of aggression

and will be responded to as such.

That's pretty much what we expected.

Yes.

Then my advice to the president would be,

we have to demonstrate what we're capable of.

I have suggested that to him already,

and the president agrees.

Receiving authorization to target Russian satellite.

We have target lock.

System is firing.

Target has been eliminated.

Very effective.

Everyone here is quite impressed.

Let's hope the Russians are as well.

We predicted their next step

would be to launch more anti—satellite weapons,

and that's exactly whatthey're doing.

I'm sure they're moving rockets

into position as we speak.

And your next step?

We're preparing a proportional response.

I'm recommending we take out

their launch site.

This is all leading

to a full—scale nuclear attack, though, isn't it?

Unless we comply with their demands,

yes, that would be a high probability.

Shouldn'twe just nip this in the bud?

Given our new ability to defend ourselves,

we don't see the need tojumpthe gun.

The president is currently rethinking

our position on unilateral control of the system.

I see.

Dr. Jackson, what are you doing?

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.

You're not supposed to be able to do this.

You can't do this.

I've already done this.

This bunker is well—protected.

Don't even think about sending a cruise missile our way.

Dr. Jackson—...

I don't know about the rest of you,

but I've had enough of that guy.

Daniel, what are you doing?

Proportional response only makes sense

when the playing field is even.

We have a distinct advantage here.

The problem is, the other side

just doesn't realize how wide the gap is.

Whatthey really need is avisual aid.

A.g. System targeting Moscow.

Daniel—...

Don't worry. There's no threat

of residual radiation spreading.

It's quick and clean.

It's like cutting your enemy's heart out with a scalpel.

Don't you think it was a little strange

you got through security with a loaded gun?

A little.

You never were that bright.

No.

Daniel, think about one thing before you do this.

We never proved that kid was a harcesis.

What are you talking about?

Everything he put in your head—...

The Goa'uld have used mind control before.

You thinkthis is some elaborate Goa'uld plot

to get me to destroy the world?

We've seen them use kids, too.

Use shifu to put a bunch of stuff in my head

in order to get me to build the weapons,

only to eventually turn them on earth.

It's possible.

There's only one flaw in that theory.

You're assuming this is not what I wanted all along.

Don't. Don't.

System is firing.

Target has been eliminated.

Still nothing?

No. There's nothing physically wrong with him,

or at least nothing I can find.

Except for the fact that he's in a coma.

It's not really a coma. He still has rapid eye movement.

The fact is,

he may not be the harcesis at all.

Hammond: Are you saying

this could be some sort of Goa'uld trick?

Teal'c: As we have seen, general Hammond,

the Goa'uld are not above

using human children as weapons.

Well, all shifu would say

is that he is teaching Daniel.

So... what do we do?

As you know, the zatarc detector's original purpose

was to detect deception.

We could, at the very least,

determine whether the boy is actually harcesis

and possibly what he did to Dr. Jackson.

Basically a lie—detector test?

No harm would come to him.

And what? Just hope he doesn't explode in the meantime?

Hope he really is who he says he is.

And maybe help Dr. Jackson?

It's just a precaution.

I had this done to me once,

and I had to wear th em, too.

The mind is always free.

This will hurt a little.

After that, I promise you will feel no pain.

I'll merely ask you some questions.

Questions are plentiful. Answers are few.

We'll try and keep it simple.

Ready?

Direct your vision here.

First question...

What is your name?

Shifu.

Are you harcesis?

I am many things.

Do you possess the genetic knowledge

passed on to you by apophis?

Yes.

What did you do to Daniel?

Dreams sometimes teach.

I am teaching him.

Teaching him what?

That the true nature of a man

is determined in the battle

between his conscious mind

and his subconscious,

and that the evil in my subconscious

is too strong to resist.

The only way to win is to deny it battle.

As oma teach es.

He woke up a few minutes ago.

One of these days I'm going to figure out

she's worth listening to.

What happened?

I was having a dream.

About what?

That's not really important.

The important thing is...

It's time I chose a new path.

And it is time for me to continue on mine.

Wait a minute. If he really is harcesis...

He is.

We can still extract some very valuable information from him.

No, you can't.

I don't understand.

I know.

Thank you for telling me of my mother.

She would have been very proud of you.

Of you, as well.

Will I see you again?

All worlds eventually lead to the great path.

Eventually.

Many cross on the way.

What's going on?

We're not just gonna let him leave?

I don'tthink we have a choice.

General, I highly recommend

you order all personnel to stand down

and getthe heck out of the way.

Are you sure, colonel?

The alternative might not be so pretty.

What am I supposed to say?

All personnel, this is general Hammond.

A... glowing energy being

is headed for level 28.

We believe it is heading for the gate.

Lower your weapons and do not attempt to intercept.

The gate just opened, sir.
