All language subtitles for Babylon.5.S03E18.WEBRip.x264-ION10

(Londo)
'A Narn heavy cruiser?
This is intolerable!'

By treaty, all Narn
warships will be

turned over
to Centauri forces.

Sorry, we didn't
sign that treaty.

You got a problem,
call Earth.

If they hadn't
forced us to break away

we wouldn't need a mutual
protection agreement.

That means we take
every ship we can get.

And what guarantees
will you give me

that the cruiser
will not open fire

on a Centauri vessel as it
approaches Babylon 5, mm?

It's the same guarantee
I gave when I said that

none of the other Narns
would break into your quarters

in the middle of the night
and slit your throat.

Mr. Garibaldi, you have
never given me that promise.

You're right.

Sleep tight.

Can I help you?

Ah, yes, I'm looking
for Dr. Franklin.

I'm afraid he's not here.

He's taken a personal
leave of absence

from his post
as chief of staff.

Is there something
I can do for you?

I just arrived, and I heard
about Ambassador Kosh.

I was hoping someone here
could tell me what happened.

I'm afraid that information
is confidential.

Look, I know he is dead. I'm not
gonna say anything to anyone.

I was just..
I am his..

- I was his aide.
- Mm.

I was wondering if anyone was
there when it happened. If..

- Did anyone speak to him?
- No, I'm sorry.

By the time we were called in,
it was too late.

Alright. Thank you.

Chief, you're just in time.

The Vorlon transport
carrying their new ambassador

just came through
the jumpgate. What's up?

Captain wants to
convene a meeting

of the War Council
this afternoon.

Figured I'd give you
a heads up on it.

Thanks, the way
the day has been going

I'll take whatever
advance warning I can get.

Better get the captain
on the link.

Tell him the Vorlon
ship's about to dock.

- Ah, I can do that.
- Why?

I'd just prefer to.
That's all.

Okay. What is it?

Look, with everything that's
been going on around here lately

he just needed to get out a
little, stretch his legs a bit.

So he took a walk..

...outside, on the forward
cargo stabilizers.

[sighs]

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

(Ivanova)
The Babylon Project was
our last, best hope for peace.

It failed.

[instrumental music]

(Ivanova)
But in the year
of the Shadow War

it became something greater

our last, best hope
for victory.

The year is 2260.
The place, "Babylon 5."

[theme music]

[music continues]

[instrumental music]

(Na'Kal)
'I thank you for this, G'Kar.'

We've been on
the run for so long

I haven't tasted
fresh food for months.

Well, it's not the hero's
welcome you deserve

but it will do for now.

Breen.

You've managed to import
breen from Homeworld. How?

It isn't actually breen.

- The smell, the taste--
- It's an Earth food.

They are called
Swedish meatballs.

It's a strange thing,
but every sentient race

has its own version
of these Swedish meatballs.

I suspect it's one of those
great universal mysteries

which will either
never be explained

or which would drive you mad
if you ever learned the truth.

So, Na'Kal, have you
been able to determine

how many of our ships
survived the war?

The Centauri and their allies
were quite thorough, G'Kar.

We estimate no more than ten.

A mix of dreadnoughts,
heavy cruisers, medium warships.

Fortunately, the Centauri
were in such a hurry

to reach Homeworld, they left
some of our ships disabled

but not destroyed.

Most are being repaired now

cannibalizing one
to fix another.

What of your ship, Na'Kal?

The "G'Tok" is fully functional.

Had we not been given shelter by
Captain Sheridan during the last

days of the war, the story might
have been very different.

When do we strike back?

We don't.

Not until we have repaired
the other ships.

For now, the most important
thing we can do

is lend our forces
to protect this place.

Because if Babylon 5 falls,
we all fall with it.

I thought Garibaldi
was going to be here.

He was,
and then I told him

what I noticed in
the maintenance log.

Dr. Franklin hasn't been in
or out of his quarters

in three, almost four days.

Has anyone
seen him lately?

No, that's what's
got Garibaldi worried.

Ever since he resigned Medlab,
he just hasn't been the same.

I think he's in a lot of pain.

Damn, I should have gone
to see him.

Well, when he told me
he was hooked on stims

I-I didn't know
what to say.

I was floored.

Then everything got nuts,
as it always does.

Ah, that's no excuse.
I hope he's okay.

Garibaldi said he'd link in

as soon as
he found out anything.

[door opens]

Welcome to Babylon 5,
ambassador.

I'm Captain John Sheridan.

This is my second,
Commander Susan Ivanova.

Thank you for coming.

Ah, I wish we could have
met under better circumstances.

I didn't know Ambassador Kosh
as well as I might have wished.

I'm not sure anyone did, really.

But we were enriched
by his presence

and we are all
diminished by his loss.

As per your
government's request

we've kept Kosh's death a secret

known only to the command staff

and those Medlab personnel
directly involved.

To avoid damaging the fragile
alliance that we've created here

they have asked us to continue
maintaining that secret.

So now I understand,
for all intents and purposes

you are to take
Kosh's place.

You'll occupy his quarters,
and we are to refer to you

by his name when we're in
public, is that correct?

Ah.

Well, then,
we'll show you the way, uh..

Ivanova will brief you
on anything you need to know.

Uh, before you go, um..

Your government neglected
to tell me your name.

How should I refer to you
when we're alone?

Kosh.

Ah, yes, I understand
that's how we're to

refer to you publicly,
but privately?

Kosh.

Ambassador Kosh is...dead.

We are all Kosh.

Well, he's a Vorlon,
alright.

Yep.

- Stephen.
- Michael.

And I was wondering when you'd
get around to looking for me.

How'd you find me?

You've been using your credit
chit to buy food, supplies

and traveling
in a straight line.

So, I figured I'd jump
ahead of that line

and hit the first
open market.

What the hell
are you doing?

Well, it's a long story.
You want some?

No. Why is everything
around here a long story?

Why isn't anything
ever a short story, a paragraph?

Look, just give me
the short version, okay?

Alright. Walkabout.

That's it?

Hey, it's that
or the long version.

So, you know,
you take your pick.

Oh, okay. Okay.

You know, as a Foundationist,
I was always taught

that if you're not careful, you
can lose yourself in the world.

Well, you're too busy
with things

not busy enough
with yourself.

Spend your days and nights
living someone else's agendas

fighting someone else's battles
and you're doing the work

you're supposed to be doing,
but every day

there's less and less
of you in it all.

Till one day you come
to a fork in the road

and because you're distracted,
you're not thinking.

You lose yourself.

You go right,
and the rest of you

the really important
part of you, goes left.

And you don't even know
you've done it till you realize

you finally realize that you
don't have any idea who you are

when you're not doing
all those things.

Stephen,
you don't really believe

there are two of you, do you?

No. It's a metaphor.
Alright?

There isn't literally another me
walking around the station

but the principle is real.

I realized I didn't
have any idea who I was

when I wasn't being
a doctor and I think

I was using the stims
to avoid facing that.

'Now I gotta fix it.'

- How?
- By going walkabout.

You just leave everything,
and you start walking.

I mean, the Foundation
adopted the idea

from the
aborigines back on Earth.

The theory is, if you're
separated from yourself

you start walking and you keep
walking till you meet yourself.

Then you sit down,
and you have a long talk.

Talk about everything
that you've learned

everything that you've felt

and you talk until you've run
out of words, now, that's vital.

Because the real important
things can't be said.

And then, if you're lucky

you look up
and there's just you.

Then you can go home.

You know how crazy this sounds?

Well..

You're a doctor, a scientist.

- And?
- And what?

Exactly.

I had heard you arrived.
I was just coming to see you.

[choking]

- Where?
- I'm sorry.

I wasn't here.

I was doing
what he told me to do.

He wasn't with me
when I left.

Not even a piece of him.

I swear!

Failed.

Gone.

I know. I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

There was no other?

No.

Not that I knew of.

I'm sorry.

He's gone.

Follow.

[instrumental music]

How are you settling in
with the new ambassador?

Fine. Fine.

I sense a little hesitation.

Despite their strengths, the
Vorlons are a delicate people.

They do not react
well to change

and they're not
very forgiving of mistakes.

It's been a long time
since one of them has died.

They're taking it
pretty hard.

It's understandable.

Ah..

I had a hunch
this was the case.

Who knows how long
one of them lives normally?

'I mean, if anything about
them can be called normal.'

'Well, if you do have any
problems with the ambassador'

'I hope you'll let me know.'

- 'Is there a problem?'
- What?

- I said, is there a problem?
- No, no.

Everything's fine.
Is there anything else?

Yes.

There is something
I need you to do.

Please be seated.

As you know..

...Mr. Garibaldi recently
uncovered information

which seems to indicate
the Shadows have a weakness.

Now, their ships are based
on organic technology

which may be vulnerable
to telepathic interference.

In theory,
a telepath might be able to

jam their
central operating system

leaving them vulnerable
to attack.

I noticed a number
of conditional phrases in that

"Seems to indicate a weakness,"
"may be vulnerable" "in theory."

Exactly. Maybe we're right,
maybe we ain't.

Unfortunately, war doesn't
tolerate ambiguities.

We have to find out
if we're right.

So I have decided
to test the proposition.

In a few hours, I'll be leaving
on the "White Star".

I've asked our only
resident telepath

Lyta Alexander, to come along,
she has agreed.

We'll take up position
in hyperspace.

As soon as we hear
of a Shadow attack

we'll jump out and engage
one of their fleet ships.

We'll attempt to
jam it...and then destroy it.

Captain, the last two times
that we ran into full blown

Shadow vessels
the only way we got out alive

was by outsmarting them.

We used Jupiter's gravity
to destroy one

and blew up
a jumpgate to kill another.

We've never tried
a head-on confrontation.

Which makes this mission
absolutely essential.

Now, to minimize our losses,
I'll take a skeleton crew.

Mr. Lennier, since I'll need
a translator, you'd be an asset

'but the choice is yours.'

Of course.
I would be honored.

There is a second part
to this experiment.

Even if we succeed
in jamming one of those ships

the "White Star" may not have
the firepower to destroy it.

If any of you could send along
one of your ships as escort..

Only the "G'Tok" is capable
of a mission of this nature.

I will have to discuss
this with her captain.

Fair enough.

- Delenn?
- Consider it done.

Good.

Anyone else?

Captain, I do have one concern.

We do not know how strong
a telepath has to be

to jam a Shadow vessel,
or how many are necessary.

Lyta is a P-5.
She may not be strong enough.

I agree, if you're determined
to go through with this

I recommend some backup.

Bring along a couple of Minbari
telepaths on the other ship.

If it looks that things
aren't working

bring them into range

and see if it
makes a difference.

I'm trying
to minimize the risks.

You're not minimizing
anybody's risk

if you don't bring back
solid information.

This way, we'll know what we
need to shut these things down.

- I agree.
- Good.

- All agreed say aye.
- Aye.

- Opposed?
- Nay.

The ayes have it.
The War Council has spoken.

You'll do it our way.

You look like
you're waiting for somebody.

I was.

Well, what happened?

She just got here.

It doesn't look like
you're from this part of town.

What's your story?
Thanks.

You a, you a businessman?

Are you flying in,
checking out

the low-rent spots
for a little action?

- I live here.
- Oh, yeah?

- I'm a doctor.
- 'Yeah?'

Yeah, my mama always told me
to marry a doctor.

I just could never find one
with the right equipment.

[laughs]

You know, I saw you
watching me up there..

...and it was like two lasers

shining out in the night.

- I'm sorry.
- No, don't be.

I mean, once I got
used to the glare

you know,
I kind of liked it.

You know, you're-you're good.

I mean, you are really good.

You're-you're-you're too good
for a place like this.

That's for sure.

So..

- So, what's your name?
- Stephen.

Ugh, I had a old
boyfriend named Stephen

and he tore my heart down
one side and up the other.

- So you're gonna be Steve.
- Steve. Alright.

- And I'm Cailyn.
- 'Cailyn.'

And I am proud and honored

to make your acquaintance.

Oh, Na'Kal, good. Thank you
for coming. I know it's late.

- Did you get my message?
- I did.

Your opinion?

Sheridan is embarking
upon a fool's mission.

We recovered records
from our fleet's

last battle with these
Shadow vessels.

- They never had a chance.
- He thinks he has one now.

Perhaps.

But our few remaining ships
are our only hope

of ever reclaiming Homeworld.

We cannot waste them
on fool's missions.

But if we withdraw our support
the odds of his returning

to Babylon 5
are considerably smaller.

We cannot squander
our resources, G'Kar.

If he dies...then he dies.

(Captain John Sheridan)
Ship's log.

We're en route
to Sector 90 by 110 by 47.

There have been three
Shadow attacks in this area

in the last week,
so the odds are good

they'll hit again soon.

The second we hear anything,
we will jump to normal space.

I'd feel better about this
if we had a few more ships

but we can't wait any longer.

I just hope this works.

- Why do you keep doing that?
- 'Shh, shh.'

I'm looking at your soul.

I have a theory that
light passes through us

'refracting our soul, mind,
and body like a rainbow.'

'And if I get the glass
at the right angle'

I can see through
to someone's soul.

- What do you see?
- 'Just pieces.'

Hasn't worked yet.

Well, maybe it worked better
than you think it did.

What are you doing here?

I don't quite know myself.

That's the wrong answer.

You're supposed to say
that you're here

to spend the night
with a beautiful woman.

I am?

(Cailyn)
'You could be.'

[doorbell]

[doorbell]

Ah-ha!

Yes, yes! What? Come in!

- I brought back your damn book.
- Surely this can wait until--

After all why the hell should I
care what is in it if you don't?

- You're not making sense.
- No?

What the hell is that
Narn ship still doing here?

Ah, I discussed the situation
with Warleader Na'Kal.

He felt it was better
to conserve our resources.

Did he?
Well, how practical of him.

- Oh, now--
- No, no, no! Never mind.

You're right.
He's right. Everybody's right.

Let's just look out
for ourselves.

When that cruiser
popped out of hyperspace

we should've done
the same thing.

We should have just let
the Centauri take custody of it

in the first place,
instead of sending out our ships

and our pilots to defend it.

- Well, he doesn't want to go.
- Of course he doesn't.

It's easy to fight when you got
a lot of ships to work with.

The real crunch comes when
you're down to almost nothing.

Then you either play it safe
and you probably lose it all

or you take a chance.

After everything what we've
been through with your people

Sheridan was crazy
to send our pilots out

to fight for your ship.
They didn't wanna go.

They didn't want to get
blown out of the sky

and leave B5 defenseless

and they sure as hell
didn't wanna die!

But they did it because
Sheridan told them to do it

and because it was right.

This time it is possible
he could be wrong.

Yeah, it's possible.

But you don't follow
an order because you know

for sure it's gonna work out.

You do what you're told

because your CO
has the moral authority

that says
you may not come back.

But the cause is just and fair
and necessary.

That's why Sheridan is out there

and damn it, that's where
that cruiser should be too!

It's not Na'Kal's
decision, G'Kar.

He doesn't see
the big picture. You do.

So in my book..

...and your book, that makes it
your responsibility.

Deal with it.

It's not right,
you living here like this.

- You could do so much better.
- No.

I am where I am,
and it is what it is.

But I could help.

Look, I'm okay.

I'm not a wounded bird.

I know.

I know.

I just wish there
was something I could do.

Well...there is.

What?

- Metazine.
- Metazine?

That stuff's prescription only.
It's a narcotic.

I, I know.
It-it helps me sleep.

Well..

You could sleep a lot better

if you didn't drink
as much as you do.

Look, you asked if there
was anything you could do.

No. Look, ask me anything else
but that. Okay?

Okay.

[instrumental music]

[sighs]

Worried?

A little.

I've never done
anything like this before.

Well, if it helps,
neither have I.

In the grand scheme of things

this is one hell
of a lab experiment.

While we're waiting,
can I ask you a question?

Hmm, shoot.

How did you find out
Kosh had died?

It was strange.

I woke up out of a dream

and I just knew somehow.

At least once before,
Kosh had touched my mind

and...I guess it left me
sensitive enough

to feel it
when he was killed.

'Why?'

No reason.

I guess..

I'm just feeling guilty

because I wasn't there
when it all happened.

You couldn't have done anything.
No one could.

Captain, we're picking up
a distress signal

from a relay post
in the target area.

Is it them?

- Yes.
- Alright.

Stand by to jump to
normal space on my mark.

Tell the Minbari ship
to stand by

in hyperspace until we signal.

You ready?

As ready as I'll ever be.

Take us in, Mr. Lennier.

[instrumental music]

I need to be on a line of sight
for this to work.

Bring us around.

Lyta?

No! No! No! No! No!

Captain, the ship
is changing course

coming in on attack vector.

I think it knows we're here.

[instrumental music]

The Shadow vessel is approaching
optimum firing range.

Lyta, listen to me.
I need you to focus.

I can't.

Should we jump to hyperspace
or call in our other ship?

(John)
'Lyta. Lyta!'

Kosh!

They killed him.

They tore him apart.

Burn, you bastard.

- Mr. Lennier?
- It's not moving.

If you're gonna do something,
do it now.

All power to the forward
batteries, Mr. Lennier.

One focused continuous burst.

Now.

More power to the weapons
system, Mr. Lennier.

Let's see what it takes
to kill one of these things.

I'll have to take
the jump engines off-line

but if I do, we won't be
able to make a jump

for 20 standard minutes.

Proceed.

Keep it going, Mr. Lennier.

[sighs]

I'm alright. I'm alright.
I just need a moment.

Yeah.

[instrumental music]

Can you tell me what you felt?

I could feel it shifting around
in my mind, trying to slip away.

- I almost lost it twice.
- It's alright now.

We found out what
we came to find out.

No, it's not alright.

I tried to stop it,
but I think it got off

a distress call
before we killed it.

How much longer
before we can jump?

Another ten standard minutes.

I'm still building
the power back up.

I'm picking up
a local disturbance.

It reads like
a jump point opening.

- Is it the Minbari ship?
- I don't think so.

We've got four,
repeat, four Shadow vessels.

They don't want us to get out of
here alive with what we know.

- Are you sure we can't jump?
- Positive.

- Then we have a problem.
- Yes, sir.

Run for it.

- Captain Sheridan.
- Yes, captain.

We've monitored your situation.
Moving to intercept.

How many telepaths
do you have onboard?

Three.

- There are four of those ships.
- We'll do what we can.

[dramatic music]

One's getting through.
Evasive action!

[music continues]

Can we fire?

Weapons system at 60 percent of
normal. Not enough to hurt it.

If there is anything you can do,
now would be a good time.

That last one
took everything I had.

I can't get through.

Shadow vessel locking on. Their
weapons are at full strength.

We're not gonna make it.

[dramatic music]

Bring us around fast.

If we can add
our firepower to theirs

Coming about.

(G'Kar)
'This is G'Kar to White Star.
Are you alright?'

Yes, for now.
Thanks for coming.

(G'Kar)
'Oh, I'm not on
the G'Tok, captain.'

And I brought some friends.

They ran.

Yes, they did, Mr. Lennier.

They did indeed.

(Kosh)
And so it begins.

Cailyn?

Hey, Cailyn?

Come on, Cailyn. Wake up.
Wake up, Cailyn!

Cailyn, come on now. Wake up.
Cailyn, you hear me?

Oh, no.

Come on, Cailyn!

(Dr. Hobbs)
'Good to see you back, doctor.'

Well, I'm not.

I'm just making sure that she's
okay. What's the prognosis?

She'll be okay. We've got her
on a Metazine drip now--

Metazine?
Are you out of your mind?

That's what put her
here in the first place--

Doctor, it wasn't an overdose.

What are you talking about?
I saw the vial in her hand.

I found her unconscious
on the floor.

The vial
hadn't been opened yet.

My guess is she used your
Identi-card to get the Metazine

from a local dispensary because
she couldn't afford it anymore.

'Then she came back
to her quarters'

'and passed out
before she could use it.'

Passed out from what?

The pain.

'I'm sorry.
I thought you knew.'

Knew what?

She was diagnosed
with terminal neural paralysis

a little over two years ago just
before you got here, incurable.

'She took it pretty hard.'

'She had a pretty good career
going back home as a singer.'

Dr. Kyle handled the diagnosis.

Why, uh, why wasn't I told?

We assumed she'd
gone back to Earth.

We don't generally track
patients after they leave here.

I mean, what she's still doing
here is anybody's guess.

How much time
does she have left?

Given her current condition..

...six months, maybe seven.

- Hey.
- 'Hey.'

How you doing?

I see they're giving me
the VIP treatment.

You didn't tell me you were
such a big shot around here.

Well..

- How do I look?
- Like hell.

[laughs]

Hey..

Why didn't
you tell me, Cailyn?

Singing is the only thing
that's ever meant a damn to me.

It let's me know I'm alive.

I see what it does to people.

I can touch them
all the way from the stage.

I can make them
laugh and

and cry and fall in love.

You can do that at home
just as well as here

and you can get
better care too.

It wouldn't make a difference.

Good care or bad,
with the time I've got left

it won't change much.

'But the people you got living
in Downbelow, Steve..'

...they're at the end
of their ropes

maybe some of them,
the end of their lives.

They came out here with hope,
and they saw it die

right before their eyes.

But they come
and they listen to me.

And for a moment..

...you can see
the hope in their eyes again.

- 'I can make a difference.'
- Till you die.

Yeah, but we are all gonna die
from something, huh.

I-I just,
I just needed something

to help me get through the pain.

'And-and that's why
I-I took your card.'

Don't send me away, Steve.

I couldn't bear it.

- Check results.
- Mm-hmm.

You give her whatever she needs

for as long as she needs it,
alright?

- You're sure you're alright?
- I'm fine.

Well, I'd still like
you to stop by Medlab

and let them take
a look at you.

Alright. I will.
Excuse me.

Before, I told you
I don't have a piece of Kosh.

But it's possible,
I don't know for sure

but it may be
someone else does.
