TEASER
01:00:02:14 LEDA: It's time.
01:00:04:17 DANIEL: Wait.
01:00:07:00 LEDA (O/S): It's okay.
01:00:13:00 LEDA (CONT’D O/S): Just relax.
01:00:21:10 LEDA (O/S CONT’D): Give your vision a moment to adjust.
01:00:24:05 LEDA (CONT’D): You haven't used it for a while.
01:00:29:12 LEDA (CONT’D O/S): How's that?
01:00:30:15 DANIEL: Better.
01:00:32:16 LEDA: Your eyes...it's nice to finally see them.
01:00:38:20 DANIEL: Leda...
01:00:40:20 LEDA: Welcome back.
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 2
01:00:45:00 DANIEL: Where am I?
01:00:48:01 LEDA: Many miles from the city. This house belonged to my uncle. We're safe
here.
01:00:52:28 DANIEL: The city? I remember being there.
01:00:59:00 DANIEL (CONT’D O/S): Something terrible happened.
01:01:05:00 DANIEL (CONT’D): Many people died.
01:01:08:05 LEDA: There's food, if you feel strong enough to eat.
01:01:10:09 DANIEL: It's our fault, isn't it?
01:01:13:23 DANIEL (CONT’D): None of this would've happened if we hadn't come here.
01:01:16:19 LEDA: You're alive...and considering what you've been through, that alone is a
miracle.

STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 3
ACT ONE
01:02:49:13 GUIDE: First discovered in the Kirellian wastelands over 150 years ago, and the
highlight of our antiquities collection--The Great Ring of Avidan.
01:03:06:06 GUIDE (CONT’D): Researchers estimate the ring to be at least several thousand
years old, and while its origin remains a subject of debate, many believe
it was created by ancient worshipers to honor their gods. It's thought that
the peculiar symbols on the ring itself represent the names of the gods.
01:03:23:01 GUIDE (CONT’D O/S): However, no one has been able to decipher--
01:03:25:07 (STARGATE SPINNING O/S)
01:03:35:09 GUIDE (CONT’D): ...Exactly what they mean.
01:03:38:18 (STARGATE SPINNING, CHEVRONS LOCKING)
01:04:22:23 CARTER: Commander Gareth?
01:04:24:12 COMMANDER GARETH (O/S): In the name of the people of the Rand…
01:04:26:11 COMMANDER GARETH (CONT’D): Protectorate, I welcome you. You're Colonel
Carter?
01:04:29:19 CARTER: This is Teal'c and Dr. Daniel Jackson.
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 4
01:04:32:23 COMMANDER GARETH: It is a pleasure to finally meet you all face to face. But,
please, come.
01:04:38:16 COMMANDER GARETH (CONT’D): We have many questions, as I'm sure you do
as well.
01:04:42:15 CARTER: Sorry about scaring the tourists. We've made first contact with a lot of
planets, but this is the first time we found ourselves coming out of a
museum piece.
01:04:49:19 COMMANDER GARETH: One of our artifacts suddenly coming to life was a little
surprising, but that pales in comparison to its purpose. It is almost
beyond imagining.
01:04:58:20 KANE: As is the fact that you're human.
01:05:01:05 COMMANDER GARETH: My chief aide, Jared Kane.
01:05:03:03 DANIEL: Well, believe it or not, there's actually a good reason for us being
human.
01:05:06:18 CARTER: Which we'll get to in due time.
01:05:08:25 COMMANDER GARETH: Colonel, I hope that once we gain each others' trust,
you'll be able to shed some light on the technology that powers The
Great Ring.
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 5
01:05:16:06 COMMANDER GARETH (CONT’D O/S): It is unlike anything we have seen
before.
01:05:18:16 CARTER: We call it the stargate, and our people share the same hope,
Commander.
01:05:21:27 COMMANDER GARETH: Of course. In due time.
01:05:24:15 DANIEL: I take it "The Great Ring" is a recurring motif in your culture?
01:05:27:23 COMMANDER GARETH (O/S): It is simply a reminder of certain traditions…
01:05:30:00 COMMANDER GARETH (CONT’D): that predate our Age of Enlightenment. Most
people wear them more for the sake of fashion than for religious belief.
01:05:35:27 KANE: Our history tells of an age when all-powerful gods ruled our world. The
Great Ring was supposedly the source of their power.
01:05:43:00 COMMANDER GARETH: Of course, we know these are merely legends from our
ancient past. However, the activation of the ring may well cause a stir
amongst those few who still follow the old ways.
01:06:11:22 LEDA: Sorry. I didn't mean to wake you.
01:06:16:00 DANIEL: It's all right.
01:06:22:12 LEDA: For the pain.
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 6
01:06:32:00 LEDA (CONT’D): I wish I could give you more, but our medicine is in short supply.
01:06:37:00 DANIEL: Thank you.
01:06:40:04 LEDA: I'll leave you alone.
01:06:41:11 DANIEL: No. No, please. Stay.
01:06:50:03 O’NEILL: How'd it go with the...
01:06:51:12 DANIEL: Caledonians? Not so well, actually. My time with their representatives
was severely limited by Rand security forces.
01:06:58:15 DANIEL (CONT’D O/S): Apparently Gareth had national security concerns.
01:07:01:10 DANIEL (CONT’D): Mainly that we'd tell the Caledonians too much about the
stargate.
01:07:04:17 O’NEILL: Let me venture a wild guess. They don't get along so good?
01:07:12:00 DANIEL: The Rand Protectorate and the Caledonian Federation have been locked
in a state of cold war for decades. Each nation has enough weapons to
wipe each other off the face of the planet.
01:07:20:02 CARTER: Sounds depressingly familiar.
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 7
01:07:21:24 DANIEL: There's actually a third element which has me a little more concerned. A
group of religious fundamentalists led by a man named Soren.
01:07:28:04 DANIEL (CONT’D O/S): Now, these people think…
01:07:29:16 DANIEL (CONT’D): that all life on the planet was created by ancient gods, and
that these gods will someday return and reward them for their faith.
01:07:34:21 CARTER: And by coming through the stargate, we confirmed their beliefs.
01:07:38:26 DANIEL (O/S): And because the gate was activated…
01:07:40:01 DANIEL (CONT’D): in a public place, the Rand government has been unable to
prevent the rumors from spreading.
01:07:44:00 DANIEL (CONT’D O/S): Now, before we made contact with them…
01:07:45:12 DANIEL (CONT’D):these people were considered zealots who took the ancient
texts too literally. The gate being activated has given them all they need
to prove they were right all along. Their numbers will grow.
01:07:54:17 O’NEILL: That's terrible...and yet, not our problem.
01:08:04:14 DANIEL: Jack, you have to let me go back.
01:08:06:10 O’NEILL: If what you say is true, things are going to get a little out of hand over
there.
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 8
01:08:10:28 DANIEL: Yes, because of us. If we hadn't chosen to pay them a visit--
01:08:13:08 O’NEILL: They'd be far better off, I know. Daniel, we're always sticking our
collective noses where they don't belong. It's what we do.
01:08:19:00 DANIEL: I could help them understand what they're facing, make them see it's not
the end of the world. If we leave now, who knows what could happen.
We have to help them. You know that.
01:08:31:15 O’NEILL: Regular contact. No exceptions. The second things start getting a little
squirrelly--
01:08:35:20 DANIEL: Thank you.
01:08:36:20 O’NEILL: Daniel...
01:08:38:18 O’NEILL (CONT’D): Squirrelly.
01:08:39:18 DANIEL: Squirrelly.
01:08:53:13 LEDA: You shouldn't be standing.
01:08:54:16 DANIEL: Oh, don't let appearances fool you. I still feel terrible.
01:09:01:15 DANIEL (CONT’D): Leda, everything you've done for me--
01:09:02:15 LEDA (O/S): Has been for my own sake as well as yours.
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 9
01:09:05:19 LEDA (CONT’D): So much has happened. Caring for you has helped
me...continue on.
01:09:12:18 DANIEL: Yeah, what has happened, exactly? I mean...I remember being…
01:09:17:04 DANIEL (CONT’D O/S): in the bunker with Commander Gareth, and we were
attacked, and…
01:09:20:23 DANIEL (CONT’D): the rest is a fog.
01:09:22:23 LEDA: Jared is away searching for survivors. He should be back in a few days'
time. I think it would be best if he answered your questions.
01:09:29:21 DANIEL: Jared Kane.
01:09:33:20 DANIEL (CONT’D): Yeah, I remember him. He was in the bunker as well.
01:09:36:01 LEDA: My husband was Chief Aide to Commander Gareth.
01:09:38:08 DANIEL: "Husband. Was."
01:09:40:19 LEDA: He insisted I move here when the fighting reached the capital. He felt you
would be safest in my care.
01:09:47:15 DANIEL: Yeah, look, no offense, but I've really got to get back to my own world, or
at least contact them and let them know that I'm okay, so...
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 10
01:09:54:00 LEDA: Trying to reach The Great Ring will be impossible. Rebel patrols have been
sighted in the area. Even to leave the estate grounds would be
dangerous...not to mention the fact that you are far from healed.
01:10:05:00 LEDA (CONT’D O/S): You must rest, Daniel.
01:10:08:20 DANIEL: Leda, what happened to Commander Gareth?
01:10:19:08 O’NEILL (O/S): Give me good news, Colonel.
01:10:21:20 CARTER: I wish I could, sir.
01:10:23:08 CARTER (CONT’D): We met with Soren, leader of the rebels, but it was less
constructive than we hoped.
01:10:27:20 O’NEILL: How much less?
01:10:29:25 CARTER: We were only allowed to see him for 15 minutes.
01:10:32:10 TEAL’C: After keeping us waiting for several hours.
01:10:34:23 O’NEILL: Well, important matters of state, no doubt.
01:10:37:02 CARTER (O/S): He's managed to unite all the fundamentalist…
01:10:38:20 CARTER (CONT’D): factions in the Rand Protectorate, which effectively puts him
in control.
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 11
01:10:42:09 TEAL’C: He was most unwilling to allow us to search for Daniel Jackson.
01:10:45:21 CARTER: Before he insisted we leave, he did promise he would look into the
matter on our behalf. Whatever that means.
01:10:52:05 O’NEILL: Right. What about a UAV?
01:10:55:04 CARTER: He won't give us access to the surface. Plus, he claims it would
interfere with their own radio communication systems.
01:11:04:02 CARTER (CONT’D): I'm sorry, sir, but at this point, we have no way of knowing if
Daniel's still alive.
END OF ACT ONE
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 12
ACT TWO
01:11:37:20 DANIEL: And what does blue mean?
01:11:38:27 KANE: It's our second-to-highest level of military alert status. There’s been civil
unrest in several urban centers across the country. Over a dozen
municipalities have fallen into the hands of Soren's troops. Our forces
are in the process of pacifying those areas as we speak.
01:11:53:27 DANIEL: Pacifying?
01:11:55:04 KANE: Reclaiming our cities from the hands of religious madmen.
01:11:57:28 DANIEL: So civil unrest means you go to blue?
01:11:59:16 KANE: Under normal circumstances, no. Unfortunately, the situation has caused
other problems.
01:12:18:13 DANIEL: What's going on?
01:12:19:19 KANE: We were forced to heighten our alert status to match that of the
Caledonians.
01:12:23:13 COMMANDER GARETH: And I promise you, we will share this technology with
you once we fully understand it.
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 13
01:12:28:10 MINISTER TREYDAN (V/O OVER RADIO): You mean once you have assessed
its advantages to your national security. You have refused to allow our
scientists access to The Great Ring. You have limited our access to the
offworlders. We do not feel as much a part of this great discovery as you
do.
01:12:42:28 COMMANDER GARETH: And had the ring been activated on Caledonian soil,
you would have done no differently. Minister Treydan, I am simply asking
your government for patience.
01:12:49:27 COMMANDER GARETH (CONT’D O/S): Stand down your high alert, and we will
do the same.
01:12:53:23 MINISTER TREYDAN (V/O OVER RADIO): Typically, you trust your people too
much, Commander. Caledonia has been under strict martial law since
news of the offworlders' arrival began to spread. Our domestic security
remains intact.
01:13:06:02 COMMANDER GARETH: The citizens of this world are not children. They just
need time to come to terms with this information.
01:13:12:28 MINISTER TREYDAN (V/O OVER RADIO): Soren and his followers have already
seized control of more than a dozen of your cities. Your people are
panicked, and your country is on the verge of collapse. I urge you to deal
with this situation in a swift and decisive manner. Should control of the
Rand Protectorate fall into Soren's hands, we'll consider it an act of war.
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 14
01:13:35:21 DANIEL (V/O): This is Daniel Jackson…
01:13:36:21 DANIEL (CONT’D O/S INTO RADIO): calling Stargate Command. Come in,
please.
01:13:38:10 (RADIO FEEDBACK)
01:13:40:02 DANIEL (CONT’D INTO RADIO): This is Daniel Jackson calling Stargate
Command. Please respond.
01:13:42:23 (RADIO FEEDBACK)
01:13:46:20 DANIEL (CONT’D INTO RADIO): This is Daniel Jackson calling Stargate
Command. Come in, please.
01:13:49:07 (RADIO FEEDBACK)
01:13:52:02 DANIEL (CONT’D INTO RADIO): This is Daniel Jackson calling Stargate
Command. Please respond.
01:13:54:20 (RADIO FEEDBACK)
01:13:56:14 LEDA: Any luck?
01:13:59:19 DANIEL: No. Nothing yet.
01:14:03:09 LEDA: You've been trying for days.
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 15
01:14:06:04 DANIEL: Something seems to be jamming all the signals I'm picking up. I mean,
there's people out there, but nothing clear enough for me to respond to.
01:14:13:03 LEDA: But you think your friends will be able to hear you?
01:14:15:16 DANIEL: Uh, yeah, it's kind of a timing thing. You see, if the stargate's open,
they'll be able to pick up my signal...if your gate isn't buried in rubble or
worse.
01:14:24:28 LEDA: Well, while you're waiting to be rescued, you could use some fresh air...if
you think you're up to it.
01:14:39:05 LEDA: How can you be sure Soren and his followers aren't right? How can you
know for certain that the gods they worship aren't...
01:14:45:12 DANIEL: Benevolent? Because I've met more than a few of them. Trust me,
they're the opposite, and they're definitely not gods.
01:14:53:02 LEDA: Then what are they?
01:14:54:28 DANIEL: The short form? They're a parasitical alien race that steals advanced
technology, and rules via fear and intimidation, and has a penchant for
melodrama. Trust me, if Soren ever actually met one, he'd be singing a
different tune.
01:15:11:22 LEDA: But you said you've fought them and won?
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 16
01:15:15:03 DANIEL: Yeah, well, we got lucky a few times, that's all.
01:15:18:25 LEDA: But there's hope, isn't there?
01:15:24:00 LEDA (CONT’D): You think what happened was your fault, don't you? From what
you've told me, it was better that your people activated The Great Ring
than the Goa'uld.
01:15:31:16 DANIEL: You think so? 'Cause right now, I'm not so sure.
01:15:34:10 LEDA: You couldn't have known what was going to happen. When the fighting
began, you could have gone back to your planet, but you chose to stay...
01:15:41:00 DANIEL: Yeah.
01:15:42:00 LEDA: To try and help us.
01:15:43:01 DANIEL: For all the good it did.
01:15:44:01 LEDA: Daniel...
01:15:45:02 LEDA (CONT’D O/S): There has been distrust between our country and
Caledonia for generations.
01:15:49:09 LEDA (CONT’D): It was only a matter of time before something set it off.
01:15:52:14 LEDA (CONT’D O/S): We did this to ourselves. And since you've come here…
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 17
01:15:57:29 LEDA (CONT’D): I've begun to think we may have a chance to undo it. To rebuild.
01:16:05:26 TECHNICIAN (INTO RADIO): This is Stargate Command calling Dr. Jackson. Do
you read me?
01:16:09:13 (RADIO FEEDBACK)
01:16:10:29 CARTER: Can you boost the signal?
01:16:13:00 TECHNICIAN: We're at maximum gain, Colonel.
01:16:15:20 TECHNICIAN (INTO RADIO): This is Stargate Command calling Daniel Jackson.
Do you copy?
01:16:19:20 O’NEILL: Anything?
01:16:20:24 CARTER: Not yet, sir. We're picking up a lot of transmissions from the planet, but
none of them are clear enough to tell if they're from Daniel. We think both
sides may have employed radio jamming measures just prior to the
attack, meaning any signals coming from outside the command bunker
are a mess. We're working on it.
01:16:37:02 O’NEILL: Anything from SG-9 yet?
01:16:38:25 CARTER: Yeah, they just reported in. Sounds like the negotiations are going
nowhere, sir.
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 18
01:16:43:02 CARTER (CONT’D O/S): Soren is still refusing to allow us to send any teams to
look for Daniel.
01:16:46:27 CARTER (CONT’D): He said our presence on the planet would only cause more
panic and fear.
01:16:51:22 O’NEILL: Well, okay. It sounds like I should meet these people myself.
01:17:19:20 DANIEL: Kane.
01:17:21:13 KANE: Dr. Jackson.
01:17:24:18 KANE (V/O): We got as close to what was left of the capital as we could.
01:17:28:18 KANE (CONT’D): Soren has troops conducting full sweeps of the region,
searching for survivors. Any suspected of remaining loyal to the old
government are executed on the spot.
01:17:38:05 LEDA: Haven't enough people died?
01:17:39:23 DANIEL: I don't think that matters to him. This is about continuing the chaos, not
peace.
01:17:44:07 KANE: You're right. People are too afraid to fight back. Most of them have already
given up hope. It's just a matter of time before they pledge their loyalty to
Soren.
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 19
01:17:56:18 DANIEL: Kane, what in the hell happened that night? I--I remember being in the
bunker, and then waking up here.
01:18:04:29 KANE: It was the end.
01:18:15:28 KANE: I'm sorry, Dr. Jackson. You really can't be in here right now.
01:18:20:18 DANIEL: Kane, what's going on? I heard something about the stargate being
moved.
01:18:22:25 KANE: Rebels have seized control of all of Rand's major cities, including sections
of the capital itself. We had the stargate moved into…
01:18:29:07 KANE (CONT’D O/S): the bunker complex for security purposes.
01:18:32:01 DANIEL: What are the Caledonians doing?
01:18:34:22 KANE: Their missile systems are now fully deployed and primed. As a result,
we've done the same. It might be best if you returned to your planet now.
01:18:48:20 RADIO MAN: Commander.
01:18:49:11 RADIO MAN (CONT’D O/S): Minister Treydan for you on a coded frequency.
01:18:56:19 COMMANDER GARETH: Put him through.
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 20
01:19:01:20 MINISTER TREYDAN (V/O OVER RADIO): Commander Gareth. We have been
monitoring the situation in your country, and we are most concerned.
01:19:06:25 COMMANDER GARETH (INTO RADIO): I understand, Minister, however, rest
assured we are close to reclaiming vital areas--
01:19:13:04 MINISTER TREYDAN (V/O OVER RADIO INTERUPTING): Now is not the time
for rhetoric, Commander. Our reports indicate large elements of your
military are on the brink of mutiny. Your civil unrest has become a civil
war. Should any of your weapons systems fall into the wrong hands, no
one in my country would be safe.
01:19:29:09 COMMANDER GARETH (INTO RADIO): That will not happen, I can promise you.
01:19:31:20 MINISTER TREYDAN (V/O OVER RADIO): Just as you promised our scientists
full access to the stargate? First, you hide information about the alien
device, and now you deny your country has slipped into chaos?
01:19:41:21 COMMANDER GARETH (INTO RADIO): We respected the guidelines of our
treaty to the letter.
01:19:44:27 COMMANDER GARETH (CONT’D O/S INTO RADIO): Our report to you on the
stargate outlined everything we know--
01:19:48:02 MINISTER TREYDAN (V/O OVER RADIO INTERUPTING): Except what you
deemed advantageous to your national security--
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 21
01:19:52:12 COMMANDER GARETH (INTO RADIO): One moment, Minister.
01:19:56:27 KANE: Rebel forces just detonated a large explosive device near one of our
missile deployment facilities. As of this moment, we understand the
facility to be compromised.
01:20:18:07 COMMANDER GARETH (INTO RADIO): Minister, forgive me. I must cut our
conversation short.
01:20:21:11 MINISTER TREYDAN (V/O OVER RADIO): Commander, my intelligence advisors
have just informed me of a massive explosion near one of your missile
facilities. Is this true?
01:20:29:19 COMMANDER GARETH (INTO RADIO): We are still gathering information. We
will contain the situation--
01:20:32:27 MINISTER TREYDAN (V/O OVER RADIO INTERUPTING): The time for
containment is long past, Commander. We cannot allow your missile
facilities to fall into Soren's hands.
01:20:38:16 COMMANDER GARETH (INTO RADIO): Treydan, give us time. This need not
escalate.
01:20:42:26 MINISTER TREYDAN (V/O OVER RADIO): We are targeting your missile sites
only. If you do not wish a full-scale war, you will not retaliate.
01:20:48:18 COMMANDER GARETH (INTO RADIO): Treydan...
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 22
01:20:49:18 RADIO MAN: Commander, we've detected multiple launch signals from Caledonia
positions.
01:20:53:02 (ALARM SOUNDING)
END OF ACT TWO
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 23
ACT THREE
01:21:28:23 KANE: It's possible the destruction could have been contained if Soren's forces
hadn’t gained control of one of our missile sites and launched a counter-
attack on Caledonia. After that, it devolved into a full-scale war. Within a
matter of days, all our cities were leveled.
01:21:43:00 KANE (CONT’D): From what we can tell, only a fraction of our population has
survived, existing mainly in outlying areas. As for the Caledonians, I've
heard rumors they're trying to rebuild what they can. It won't be much.
They may have struck first, but our missile systems were much more
accurate than theirs.
01:21:58:28 DANIEL: And Soren?
01:22:00:05 KANE: He used the chaos to make his move on the bunker.
01:22:04:07 DANIEL: Then how did you save me?
01:22:07:27 KANE: Actually, from what I understand, it was you who saved me.
01:22:12:25 (RADIO FEEDBACK)
01:22:16:27 COMMANDER GARETH: Kane.
01:22:23:00 DANIEL: This is insane.
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 24
01:22:24:00 KANE: Soren's forces are moving in on this facility. I can get you to the stargate,
but we have to go now.
01:22:43:00 (EXPLOSION)
01:22:52:06 (GUNFIRE)
01:23:11:24 KANE (O/S): This way!
01:23:19:06 KANE: Here, through that door.
01:23:48:28 DANIEL: Get down!
01:23:57:03 KANE: Loyalist soldiers found us first and got us out of the city. Your wounds were
much worse than mine. Bringing you here was the only option.
01:24:06:00 DANIEL: What happened to Commander Gareth?
01:24:09:10 KANE: He was executed shortly after the bunker fell.
01:24:13:17 KANE (CONT’D): Since he took power, Soren has set up a provisional
government, not that there's much of Rand left to govern. However, we
do know he does control whatever's left of the bunker complex...
01:24:25:20 KANE (CONT’D): including the stargate.
01:24:31:00 KANE (CONT’D): I'm sorry, Dr. Jackson.
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 25
01:24:34:24 (ALARM SOUNDING)
01:24:40:08 O’NEILL: Howdy, fellas. Welcome to Earth.
01:24:45:02 SOREN: General O'Neill, it is an honor. I greet you in the name of our great
nation, Avidan.
01:24:52:19 CARTER: You changed the name?
01:24:54:20 SOREN: "Avidan" speaks more to our peoples' beliefs.
01:24:57:25 TEAL’C: It is from an ancient Goa'uld dialect. It means "the gods are just."
01:25:09:08 O’NEILL: Good choice.
01:25:17:10 DANIEL (V/O): So you're saying…
01:25:18:13 DANIEL (CONT’D): that Soren is still using the bunker as a command center.
01:25:21:25 KANE: Damage in the city would be too severe.
01:25:25:00 DANIEL: Then he hasn't totally consolidated his power yet, has he?
01:25:29:21 DANIEL (CONT’D): I'm saying that if we could somehow retake the bunker, we
would effectively overthrow Soren.
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 26
01:25:33:12 KANE: The bunker's heavily fortified, and I have only a dozen men under my
command. It would be suicide.
01:25:38:06 DANIEL: No. Not if we had help. You see, if I could reach my friends on Earth…
01:25:41:27 DANIEL (CONT’D O/S): we could regain control of the gate.
01:25:43:05 KANE: If you could reach them.
01:25:46:10 KANE (CONT’D O/S): I know that you've been trying to make radio contact with
your planet since you regained consciousness…
01:25:50:07 KANE (CONT’D): without success. I understand your wish to return to your world,
but it simply isn't possible.
01:25:55:19 DANIEL: This isn't about that. My people can help you.
01:25:58:09 KANE: Like you helped us before?
01:26:01:20 KANE (O/S): I admire your passion…
01:26:02:15 KANE (CONT’D): Dr. Jackson, but too much has happened to fix with one heroic
action. We have to accept the fact that Soren has won. Rand belongs to
him now.
01:26:22:25 SOREN: It is obvious you revere The Great Ring as much as we do, General
O'Neill.
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 27
01:26:27:10 O’NEILL: Oh, yeah. We love the old gal. Quite possibly for different reasons than
you.
01:26:34:16 SOREN: We both seek to defend our people's way of life, do we not, General?
01:26:38:13 SOREN (CONT’D O/S): To protect their very existence.
01:26:40:26 TEAL’C: You do not represent the people of your world.
01:26:44:08 TEAL’C (CONT’D): You merely kill those who believe differently and would stand
against you.
01:26:47:09 SOREN: You speak what is on your mind. I admire that.
01:26:51:06 O’NEILL: Actually, in your case, he's holding back.
01:26:57:13 O’NEILL (CONT’D): Carter?
01:26:59:20 CARTER: Commander Soren, we're prepared to offer you aid in exchange for
help in locating Daniel Jackson.
01:27:04:22 CARTER (CONT’D O/S): Food and medical supplies, plus support personnel…
01:27:07:08 CARTER (CONT’D): to help you stabilize the situation on your planet.
01:27:09:23 SOREN: You cannot truly believe that your friend is still alive?
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 28
01:27:13:22 O’NEILL: Oh, he's a resourceful fella.
01:27:17:27 SOREN: Your offer is most generous, but I'm afraid…
01:27:19:12 SOREN (CONT’D O/S): we must decline. We are, however…
01:27:22:21 SOREN (CONT’D): particularly interested in your weapons technology.
01:27:28:05 TEAL’C: Your people are facing starvation and disease.
01:27:30:25 SOREN: What has happened to our world is most unfortunate, and yet vital.
01:27:36:02 SOREN (CONT’D): Those who refused to believe needed to be purged from
existence so that we could begin anew.
01:27:43:26 O’NEILL: You know, in these parts, we like to call that "crimes against humanity."
01:27:52:05 CARTER: If all you care about is spiritual salvation, what do you need the
weapons for?
01:27:58:05 SOREN: The revolution is not yet complete.
01:28:02:08 CARTER: You mean you want to take over Caledonia too.
01:28:04:15 SOREN: As I said, the revolution is not yet complete.
01:28:18:08 DANIEL: Leda, you have to talk to your husband.
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 29
01:28:20:20 LEDA: And what am I supposed to say to him?
01:28:23:16 DANIEL: That it's not too late to regain control…
01:28:24:28 DANIEL (CONT’D O/S): to rebuild your country. Everything you told me before.
01:28:28:13 LEDA: Daniel, I can't.
01:28:30:23 DANIEL: Why?
01:28:31:08 LEDA: Because I'd be lying. Jared is right. Those of us who were unlucky enough
to live through what's happened will die soon enough, either through
disease or one of Soren's purges. There is no future.
01:28:46:07 DANIEL: Leda, you were right. There is hope. Don't--don't doubt that, please.
01:28:54:20 LEDA: You believe your people can help us?
01:28:56:23 DANIEL: Yes.
01:28:58:12 LEDA: And what if you do overthrow Soren? What then? You simply leave?
01:29:08:23 LEDA (CONT’D): When Jared became part of Commander Gareth's inner circle,
he...changed.
01:29:15:14 LEDA (CONT’D): He became remote and distant. I'd forgotten what it was like
just...to talk to someone.
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 30
01:29:29:14 LEDA (CONT’D): To feel…
01:29:31:17 DANIEL: Leda...
01:29:35:25 LEDA: I'll speak to him, Daniel…but he won't hear me.
01:29:47:15 O’NEILL: A waste of time. Waste.
01:29:52:20 CARTER: Sir, I think the fact that he hasn't left yet could mean he's still willing to
deal.
01:29:56:27 TEAL’C: He has no need for humanitarian aid. The chaos in his country has only
served to strengthen his position.
01:30:01:29 CARTER: Well, we can't just give up.
01:30:04:14 O’NEILL: Yes. I know that.
01:30:07:10 CARTER: We're continuing to monitor countless radio signals coming from the
planet. One of them could be from Daniel. If we can find a way to contact
him--
01:30:13:05 O’NEILL: Find it!
01:30:21:11 CARTER: Yes, sir.
END OF ACT THREE
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 31
ACT FOUR
01:30:46:27 KANE (V/O): I'm telling you, Leda, it's madness. All it will accomplish is to wipe out
any chance we have to mount a unified resistance in the future.
01:30:53:05 LEDA (V/O): But what if he's right? What if this is our best opportunity to defeat
Soren?
01:30:57:00 KANE: You would have me throw away my life and the lives of my men so that
Daniel can return to his world?
01:31:02:18 LEDA: It's not about that. It's about rebuilding our world. His friends can help us
do that. Jared, our people need this.
01:31:13:26 KANE: You mean he needs this.
01:31:17:01 KANE (CONT’D): I'm not blind, Leda. I know that you and Daniel have grown
close during his convalescence.
01:31:20:02 LEDA: Jared, it's not what you think.
01:31:21:16 KANE: Let me speak. If I could live the last few years differently, Leda…
01:31:27:19 KANE (CONT’D O/S): I would. I would make the time…
01:31:30:24 KANE (CONT’D): but we no longer have the luxury for regrets. I need to know. Do
you love him?
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 32
01:31:39:14 KANE (CONT’D): Leda?
01:31:44:22 LEDA: I trust him.
01:31:51:13 SOREN: Once order has been established, the people of Avidan will live
differently…
01:31:55:09 SOREN (CONT’D O/S): than before... Simply. Humbly.
01:31:59:08 SOREN (CONT’D): Waiting for our gods' inevitable return.
01:32:01:19 O’NEILL: You know, we've met these gods upon whom you're so hot, and trust
me when I tell you they are not what you think they are.
01:32:09:26 TEAL’C: They will reward your worship with enslavement.
01:32:12:22 SOREN: You are not the first to try to sway our beliefs, but I can assure you, our
faith is unshakable.
01:32:21:01 TEAL’C: This is not about faith. This is about a means to power.
01:32:29:05 (ALARM SOUNDING)
01:32:45:14 O’NEILL: That went well.
01:32:47:18 CARTER: Sir, you better get up here.
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 33
01:33:01:29 O’NEILL: What?
01:33:03:00 CARTER: Well, by implementing new spread-spectrum frequency hopping into
our communications software--
01:33:07:08 O’NEILL (INTERUPTING): Carter, Carter, Carter...
01:33:08:17 DANIEL (V/O OVER RADIO): Hello?
01:33:10:17 DANIEL (V/O OVER RADIO CONT’D): Guys?
01:33:11:29 CARTER: We found him.
01:33:13:00 O’NEILL: Sweet.
01:33:16:29 O’NEILL (INTO RADIO): Daniel?
01:33:17:22 DANIEL (V/O OVER RADIO): Jack, nice to hear your voice.
01:33:21:02 O’NEILL (INTO RADIO): Likewise. You coming home or what?
01:33:25:00 DANIEL (V/O OVER RADIO): Trying to. As soon as I find my keltesh.
01:33:30:18 O’NEILL (O/S INTO RADIO): What?
01:33:31:18 DANIEL (V/O OVER RADIO): Uh...it looks a lot like my ring kol nok. You know, I
lent it to you for grel-kar kree-nor day?
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 34
01:33:42:09 O’NEILL: He's changed.
01:33:43:25 CARTER: Sir, he's speaking Goa'uld.
01:33:45:18 TEAL’C: "Ring kol nok" means strategy. "Keltesh" speaks of a well-known Jaffa
battle tactic--a flanking attack from two sides.
01:34:02:11 O’NEILL: Yes, Daniel. I remember exactly where I put it. Any other...thoughts?
01:34:10:27 DANIEL (V/O OVER RADIO): No, just that I hope someone's been feeding my lo
assak while I've been away.
01:34:20:13 CARTER: We've pieced together all the Goa'uld words Daniel gave us. If Teal'c's
translations are correct, he's suggesting a strategy…
01:34:26:12 CARTER (CONT’D O/S): to retake the bunker.
01:34:27:20 TEAL’C (O/S): He is proposing…
01:34:28:25 TEAL’C (CONT’D): a coordinated attack against Soren.
01:34:30:00 CARTER (O/S): We come through…
01:34:30:25 CARTER (CONT’D): the gate at the same time as Daniel and Kane's men enter
from the surface. I'm thinking we take SGs-3, -6…
01:34:36:04 CARTER (CONT’D O/S): and -12 as back-up. We go in hot, secure the gate…
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 35
01:34:39:16 CARTER (CONT’D): then extract Daniel.
01:34:40:27 TEAL’C: He has supplied an estimate of the strength of Soren's forces as well as
a possible date and time for the assault.
01:34:45:22 CARTER (O/S): Our next communication is in five…
01:34:47:13 CARTER (CONT’D): hours. All we need to do is confirm everything, and, of
course, get a go from you, sir.
01:34:52:20 O’NEILL: All right. Well, not to nitpick or anything, here, T, but are you sure you
got it right?
01:35:00:16 TEAL’C: I am certain, O'Neill.
01:35:04:25 O’NEILL: Okay. Go.
01:35:09:19 KANE: 15 men? That's hardly enough.
01:35:13:05 DANIEL: Look, these are some of the best people on my planet…
01:35:15:16 DANIEL (CONT’D O/S): and they're trained for missions exactly like this. It'll be
enough. Trust me.
01:35:18:21 DANIEL (CONT’D): If we're going to do this, we have to set it up now. They're
waiting for your response.
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 36
01:35:24:09 LEDA: Jared, a rebel patrol is approaching.
01:35:28:20 LEDA (CONT’D O/S): Hide in the cellar.
01:35:29:20 KANE: Leda...
01:35:30:20 LEDA: I know what to do.
01:35:49:25 REBEL SOLDIER (O/S): In the name of Soren, open the door!
01:35:55:00 (KNOCKING)
01:36:02:25 REBEL SOLDIER: Inspection.
01:36:04:28 REBEL SOLDIER (CONT’D O/S): Stand aside.
01:36:06:16 LEDA: Please, just tell me what you're looking for.
01:36:08:27 REBEL SOLDIER: Who owns this house?
01:36:10:02 LEDA: I do.
01:36:11:02 REBEL SOLDIER (O/S): And who else lives here?
01:36:11:18 LEDA: No one.
01:36:14:17 LEDA: You're hurting me.
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 37
01:36:16:11 REBEL SOLDIER (O/S): We know loyalist soldiers are in the area. Collaboration
is punishable by death. Search the house.
END OF ACT FOUR
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 38
ACT FIVE
01:36:44:02 REBEL SOLDIER #2 (V/O): There's no one else here…
01:36:45:02 REBEL SOLDIER #2 (CONT’D O/S): but we found some men's clothes and boots.
01:36:48:20 REBEL SOLDIER (O/S): Now, who else lives here?
01:36: 49:20 LEDA (O/S): My husband did.
01:36:51:23 LEDA (CONT’D): He died last month from wounds suffered during the bombings.
Please…
01:36:56:21 LEDA (CONT’D): I only wish to lead a simple life as it is written in the ancient
texts.
01:37:07:15 REBEL SOLDIER (O/S): There's nothing here. Let's move.
01:37:25:03 KANE: Once we're close enough, we'll use the city's tunnel systems to get us near
one of the bunker's access points. After we're inside, we'll wait for Dr.
Jackson's people to make their move, then we make ours. Understood?
01:37:40:10 KANE (CONT’D): Let's hope your friends keep their end of the bargain.
01:38:15:20 DANIEL: If this works...
01:38:16:26 LEDA: You'll be going home.
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 39
01:38:20:15 DANIEL: Leda, I...
01:38:21:05 LEDA (O/S): No.
01:38:23:25 LEDA (CONT’D): Go.
01:38:53:01 (ALARMS SOUNDING)
01:39:17:27 REBEL AIDE: Commander, several posts are no longer reporting in. Loyalist
troops have entered from the surface and have managed to take…
01:39:23:06 REBEL AIDE (CONT’D O/S): several key sections.
01:39:24:12 SOREN: Then take them back.
01:39:25:21 REBEL AIDE (O/S): We cannot.
01:39:26:22 REBEL AIDE (CONT’D): They have coordinated their attack with help from the
offworlders. We are losing control of the facility.
01:39:30:23 SOREN: If you're suggesting that we evacuate, think again.

01:39:48:17 (GUNFIRE)
01:39:59:25 KANE: Cease fire!
01:40:04:15 CARTER (SHOUTING): Daniel, you guys okay?
01:40:06:03 DANIEL (SHOUTING): Yeah, we're fine!
01:40:37:17 REBEL AIDE: All stations are dark. The loyalists have us surrounded. They are
calling for our surrender.
01:40:44:24 SOREN: Engage them.
01:41:22:00 CARTER: Any chance he'll just surrender?
01:41:26:27 REBEL AIDE: Commander, we are hopelessly outnumbered.
01:41:35:03 (GUNSHOT)
01:41:47:29 SOREN: We are all here for one purpose--to honor the will of our gods. In their
names, we rose up. In their names, we purged the non-believers, and in
their names, we will die, if necessary. We will not dishonor them with
cowardice. Now, engage them.
01:42:24:01 SOREN (CONT’D): Engage them.
01:42:30:19 SOREN (CONT’D): You question your faith?
STARGATE SG-1 "ICON" Episode #806 41
01:42:35:20 SOREN (CONT’D): I will show you faith.
01:42:49:29 CARTER: Drop your weapon.
01:42:53:15 CARTER (CONT’D): I said drop your weapon now!
01:42:14:00 KANE: It's over.
01:43:14:25 DANIEL: I hope so. You may have just made him a martyr.
01:43:20:00 KANE: I had no choice.
01:43:24:15 KANE (CONT’D): You can return to your world now.
01:43:26:04 DANIEL: Kane—
01:43:26:26 KANE (INTERUPTING O/S): What happened to us…
01:43:27:26 KANE (CONT’D): was not your fault.
01:43:29:25 DANIEL: I know...but we made a promise, and we intend to keep it.
01:43:36:10 DANIEL (CONT’D): We'll be back to help you rebuild.
01:43:50:10 CARTER: Daniel, are you ready to go home?
