6x11 - PROMETHEUS EPISODE SUMMARY AND QUOTES
Summary Coming Soon
Paul: "Good evening."

Julia: "What is this?"

Paul: "Major Paul Davis, United States Air Force."

Julia: "If you came to intimidate me out of running my story, it's not gonna work. Just the fact that you're here tells me it's too important to let go."

Paul: "Oh, it's more important than you know."

Julia: "Here comes the national security speech."

Paul: "No.  No speech.  Just a simple fact.  You run that story, you endanger people's lives."

Julia: "All right.  You tell me what Prometheus is, and I'll reconsider."

Paul: "I don't think so."

Julia: "I'm serious. I have unconfirmed reports that it's some kind of fusion reactor. They're building it out in the desert."

Paul: "Where'd you hear that?"

Julia: "I'm not ready to reveal my source."

Paul: "Ms. Donovan, by revealing classified information, your source is violating about seventeen federal laws."

Julia: "Is that a confirmation?"

Paul: "It's a warning."

Julia: "You should know, Major.  I've made arrangements. If anything happens to me, the report gets released."

Paul: "Have a good evening, Ms. Donovan."


Paul: "She's stubborn, sir."

General Hammond: "Do we know where the leak came from?"

Paul: "We're working on it, but so far, we've got nothing.  It could be, uh, anything from a technician working on the project to Senator Kinsey."

General Hammond: "How much does she know?"

Paul: "She thinks Prometheus is some kind of fusion reactor."

General Hammond: "Then maybe we don't have a problem."

Paul: "She also has a money trail, sir, and the trinium. Now, if she can get that much, odds are she can get a lot more."

General Hammond:  "This is General Hammond. Get me the President."


Al: "Just sit down, please.  The head office has decided that, for the time being, it is in their best interests not to run the story."

Julia: "You mean they caved."

Paul: "It was a personal request from the President to the chairman of the corporation that owns this network."

Julia: "I don't believe this."

Sam: "We're going to need all the material you have on this story. Tapes, notes, interviews..."

Julia: "You can't force me to give you anything."

Paul: "Actually, we can, but we were just hoping that you'd  be willing to cooperate, given that your story is dead."

Julia: "You see, that's where you're wrong. All I have to do is make a couple of phone calls to some foreign broadcasters. I'm sure they'd be very interested."

Paul: "I'd advise against it."


General Hammond: "We have no way of knowing and the fact is, we can't take the chance."

Paul: There's also the question of where she's getting her information. If we kill the story without plugging the leak, there's no guarantee this won't happen all over again."

Jonas: "What are you suggesting?"

Paul: "Once Ms. Donovan left the meeting, her producer agreed to reveal the source in exchange for a tour of the facility."

General Hammond: "The Pentagon feels this is the best way to contain the situation. Once we've confirmed we have the source, we destroy all video tape and any related materials."

Jonas: "So, essentially, we're just double-crossing her."

General Hammond: "We have no choice."

Paul: "Without any hard evidence, the only place she'll be able to run the story is in the tabloids."


Jack: "Major Davis! What the hell happened?"

Paul: "At approximately 0900 this morning, the X-303 was put into lockdown mode. At 0920 we received a communication from someone inside the ship informing us that they had destabilized the hyperdrive. They're threatening to blow it."

Jack: "I don't believe it! I do not believe this!"

Paul: "We're getting energy readings that confirm an overload building in the ship's generator."

Jack: "This is supposedly the most secure facility on the face of the planet!"

Paul: "We think it was the camera crew, sir."

Jack: "Did anyone bother with a background check?"

Paul: "Yes, sir, and they were clean! Their cameraman was a decorated marine in Somalia! Every member of that crew has been at the network for well over a year, sir! This plan has obviously been in the works for some time."

Jack: What?!"

Anonymous Airwoman: "Sir, we're receiving a transmission. It's from the highjackers."

Paul: "Patch it through!  This is Major Davis, go ahead."

Smith: "I assume by now, you've confirmed the status of the hyperdrive. So you know we're not bluffing."

Paul: "What do you want?"

Smith: "You're currently holding two prisoners we want released. Colonel Frank Simmons and Adrian Conrad. You have exactly three hours to deliver them, or we blow up your ship."


Paul: "Yes, sir. Perfectly clear, sir. We're doing everything we can. Thank you.  The joint chiefs are calling an emergency meeting."

Anonymous Airwoman: "Sir, I'm picking up on a signal from inside the ship, but it's on a different frequency."

Paul: "Patch it through."

Sam: "Repeat... This is Major Carter. Is anyone reading this?"

Jack: "Carter, it's O'Neill. What's your status?" 

Sam: "I-I'm locked in the storage room on deck seven."

Jack: "What happened in there?"

Sam: "It was the TV crew. They had a zat."

Paul: "Major, the highjackers are demanding the release of Colonel Simmons and Adrian Conrad. We believe this is a rogue NID operation."

Jack: "Carter, is there any chance they can get that ship off the ground."

Sam: "It's not finished, sir. It could lose structural integrity."

Jack: "Will it fly?"

Sam: "Yes, sir."

Paul: "Major Carter, the sublight control relay is right above you on deck eight. If you can get to it and sever the connection, that'll ground them for sure."

Sam: "I found a plasma cutter in here, but it'll take me a while to get through the trinium alloy."

Paul: "We have less than three hours to deliver the prisoners, or they blow the ship."


Colonel Simmons: "You know, I hate to say it, Major, but, uh, if I had been in charge, none of this would have ever happened. It seems to me you brought me down here to figure out a way to retake the ship."

Paul: "These individuals are threatening to blow up the X-303 unless their demands are met."

Colonel Simmons: "Yeah? What do they want?"

Paul: "You."

Colonel Simmons: "Me?"

Paul: "They're also demanding we bring them one of your former associates, Adrian Conrad."

Colonel Simmons: "I hardly think of him as an associate. He's a Goa'uld, after all."

Paul: "You helped him escape when we had him trapped."

Colonel Simmons: "I thought it would be best if we kept him in our custody."

Paul: "Sure you did. The two of you made some kinda deal, didn't you? We know what the Goa'uld wants from you, Colonel. He wants to escape. What we don't know is what he offered you in return."

Colonel Simmons: "I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna be able to help you."

Paul: "Colonel... You either give me what I need, and we make arrangements, or we make a u-turn, and I take you right back to your box."


Teal'c: "Adrian Conrad has arrived."

Paul: "Did he say anything to you?"

Teal'c: "He was uncharacteristically silent for a Goa'uld. Have we received word from Major Carter?"

Jack: "No, not yet."


Anonymous Airwoman: "Sir, we're approaching deadline."

Paul: "Radio the hijackers. We're sending in the prisoners."


Anonymous Airwoman: "Major, they're preparing to take off."

Paul: "Thank you."

Jack: "She's running out of time."

Teal'c: "Major Carter may still succeed in disabling the ship once they reach orbit."

Paul: "Teal'c, deck seven isn't pressurized. The airlock in that section is still under construction. By the time they reach orbit, she'll be dead."


Colonel Simmons: "Major Davis? This is Colonel Simmons. We'd like to leave now. Would you be so kind as to retract the roof?"

Paul: "Colonel, you're gonna have to wait a couple of minutes. We're having problems with the hydraulics."

Simmons: "Nice try, Davis. You have 30 seconds, or we're gonna detonate the hyperdrive... Ten... Nine... Eight... Seven... Six... Five... Four... Three..."

Anonymous Airwoman: "They're powering engines."

Sam: "Crap."

Colonel Simmons: "...Two... One..."

Paul: "Retract the roof."


Anonymous Airwoman: "They're entering low Earth orbit."

Paul: "Now what?"

Teal'c: "Does the ship not possess a docking bay capable of receiving the X-302?"

Paul: "We don't have any ready to fly."

Jack: "We've got the death glider from Anubis."

Paul: "The radar system on the X-303 is still incomplete. Fly through the lower bay. They'll never see you coming."
