All language subtitles for Babylon 5 2x11.All.Alone.in.the.Night

You wanted to
see me, Delenn?

Yes.

I've just received
a message

from the other members
of the Grey Council.

Now that we have
a new leader in place

they wish to see me

and discuss my...status.

What is there
to discuss?

Whether I should
be allowed to continue

as a member
of the Council..

...or be removed.

I will be leaving shortly.

I do not know
if I will return.

It is possible they could remove
me from Babylon 5 as well.

Why would they do that?

Look at me, Lennier.

Being asked to serve
on the Council

is a matter of soul,
not of flesh.

The change that you've gone
through, it shouldn't matter.

But it does,
Lennier.

I made the decision

and now I must
face the consequences.

I have left
detailed instructions

in the event someone else
is assigned here

and...I updated
all my diaries.

You will have everything
you need in case--

In case I never
see you again.

Lennier..

...for the first time..

I feel very much...alone.

No.

Never alone, Delenn.

Never alone.

The last two ships
that came to Sector 92

both reported
unusual sightings.

- Description?
- Not much to go on.

A bright light,
turbulence.

We've also had reports
of at least one transport

disappearing off the screens
in that area.

It may be unrelated,
but you never know.

It can't be raiders.

They're pretty much
out of business these days.

I agree.
But something's going on.

And since it's within
our jurisdiction

I think we should check it out.

Is Zeta squadron
available?

Alpha and Zeta squads
are both at another mission.

Delta leader's down sick.

I could assign it
to a second.

No. I've got a better idea.
I'll go.

I don't think
you should do that, sir.

This isn't a clear
and present danger, commander.

It's just a quick look-around
to see what the problem is.

I haven't felt
space beneath me

since I got here in January.
And I miss it.

Besides, if I don't put
some flight time in soon

I'm gonna lose my flight pay.

Very well.
But you'll take a full escort.

Alright. Alright.

I'll be in and out
in an hour.

What could go wrong, hmm?

[intense music]

(male narrator)
The Babylon project was
our last best hope for peace.

A self-contained world
five miles long

located in neutral territory.

A place of commerce
and diplomacy

for a quarter of a million
humans and aliens.

A shining beacon in space..

...all alone in the night.

It was the dawn
of the Third Age of mankind

the year the Great War
came upon us all.

This is the story of the last
of the Babylon stations.

The year is 2259.

The name of the place
is Babylon 5.

[theme music]

Your flier's recharged

and is ready for departure
at any time.

Good.
Thank you.

As is mine.

Lennier, you do not
have a flier.

Correct. I've arranged
to borrow one from our courier.

You do not have to go
with me.

That is also correct.

Nonetheless,
I will accompany you.

Lennier, listen to me.

The Council holds me
in disfavor right now.

I do not want that
to spill over on to you.

I'm not worried
about that.

Of course not.
You're young.

And youth is both foolish
and vulnerable.

This is not a wise thing
for you to do.

Probably not.

Have I mentioned recently

how much I...appreciate
you, Lennier?

Not really.

But it will give us something
to discuss on our trip.

[beeps]

Receive.

I pulled together
your escort, captain.

They'll meet you in
Fighter Bay 9 in half an hour.

Good. Anything else?

(Commander Ivanova)
'Yes, sir. We received word
from General Hague's office'

'that he'll be arriving
earlier than he had thought.'

ETA 1800 hours.

- And?
- That's all.

Captain, if member of the
Joint Chiefs is coming aboard

I should have been informed.
There's protocol to consider.

This is a cordial
and unofficial visit, commander.

Even so.

Commander, this
is a private matter.

I was going to tell you
all about it when he got here

but as you said he's arriving
ahead of schedule.

And I should be back by then.

- Anything else?
- No, sir.

Good.
See you when I get back.

Man, I say you're
full of it.

The Dodgers will never make it
to the world series.

Hell, they'll be lucky
if they make it

to the playoffs without
embarrassing themselves!

Your diagnosis, doctor?

Oh, the patient
is confused, delusional

unable to separate
his natural sense

of loyalty
for his home team

from the reality
that they stink.

And they only got into
the playoffs on a technicality.

Yeah, what technicality?

The Mars team hit
more home runs

than any other team
on the books.

Only because
Martian gravity

is 40 percent less than
Earth normal, alright.

The ball travels faster
and further

skewing the results.

Now, once they hit
Earth gravity

Helen Keller could bat
better than any one of them.

Ouch!

You wanna put your money
where your mouth is?

Okay. Okay.

Thirty credits says
Morris gets swept, 4-0.

- You're on.
- Mm-hmm.

[watch beeps]
Ramirez. Go.

(Commander Ivanova)
'Lieutenant Ramirez, please
report to Starfury Bay 9'

'for immediate launch.'

Yeah, I'll be
right there.

I'm gonna have a great dinner
on your 30 credits, doc.

(Stephen)
'Yeah, dream on.'

Helen Keller?

Heat of the moment.

(Commander Ivanova)
'Your escort's in place,
captain.'

Thank you, commander.

Finishing systems check.

Ready for launch.

(Commander Ivanova)
'You're clear for drop.
Happy hunting!'

(Captain Sheridan)
'Now, this is more like it.'

(Commander Ivanova)
'Now, captain.'

Yes, commander?

If you continue
in this behavior

you'll just make the other
pilots feel inadequate.

Spoilsport.

(Commander Ivanova)
'What was that, captain?
You're breaking up.'

Nothing, commander.

You will have to wait out here
until I'm finished inside.

Only members
of the Council and a few

acolytes are allowed
beyond this point.

I understand.

I will wait...and
I will pray for you

if you would not
consider it presumptuous.

No, not at all.

Until later, Satai Delenn.

Survey 1
to Survey 2 and 4.

- 'You getting anything?'
- Negative.

Spectral analysis radiation
all looks normal.

No sign of debris.

'You want us to make
another pass, captain?'

No, I guess not.
Nothing much to see.

Well, at least it got us out
of the house for a while.

Alright, let's head on
back to the barn.

Activate homing beacons.

What the hell!

Evasive action!
Evasive action!

Engines at critical!

Ejecting!

(crew #1)
'Swinging around this way.
We got to get out of here.'

Not without the captain.

Captain!

Come on!

I can do this.

Come back to me.

[automated]
'Power supply at 10 percent.'

'Damage to stabilizers,
rear and anterior thrusters.'

'Detecting leak
in fusion reactor system.'

Leak? How bad?

[automated]
'Radiation levels 35 percent
beyond safe limits.'

'Project increase
of 5 percent every half-hour.'

How long until the radiation
reaches terminal levels?

[automated]
'Radiation leak already
at terminal level.'

Communications system?

[automated]
'Not functioning.'

Then we had to have..

...we have to head back,
tell them what happened.

It's the captain's
only chance.

Redirect maximum possible
energy from life support

to system controls.

Set for jumpgate
sequence start.

[automated]
'Activating jumpgate sequence.'

General, welcome
to Babylon 5.

Commander.

I apologize for the lack
of an honor guard

but your office gave us
specific instructions.

Yes, well, I don't like
to make a fuss.

Never did care much
for all that show.

I was told Captain Sheridan
would be here.

He went to look into a problem
in an outer sector.

He should be back
any time now.

This isn't like him.
He's never late.

If he knew when I was arriving,
he'd have been here.

I hope it isn't serious.

C&C's trying to get
a clear channel

for a status report.

They probably
reached him by now.

Hey!

Hey, anybody here?

'Anybody hear me?'

Hey..

My name is John Sheridan.

Captain...Earthforce.

My name is John Sheridan.

Captain, Earthforce.

Summoned.

I take the place
that has been prepared for me.

I am Grey.

I stand between the candle
and the star.

We are Grey.

We stand between
the darkness and the light.

'They will not come, Delenn.'

But I was summoned.

To receive judgment, yes.

Not to appear
as one of the Nine.

I'm entitled
to a hearing.

I'm allowed
to defend myself.

That was before
you disobeyed us.

You were told to wait
before taking this action.

Before becoming..

'...alien to us.'

You've been away from us
for too long, Delenn.

Your contact
with the humans

has changed more
than your appearance.

If you are no longer
one of us

'how can you be
one of the Nine?'

My heart has not changed.

We no longer know
your heart, Delenn.

The Council has voted to remove
you from our presence.

'From this day forth,
you are no longer'

'a member of the Grey Council,
no longer Satai.'

I'm sorry, Delenn.

Wait.

What about my appointment
to Babylon 5?

My position as ambassador
is separate

from my role as Satai.

We are still
debating this.

It is your right
to make a statement

before the Nine,
if that is your wish.

It is.
Thank you.

May I ask..

who was chosen
to replace me?

I will convene the Nine.

When we are ready,
you will be summoned.

Still no word
from Captain Sheridan?

We can't raise any of them
so I think--

Jumpgate activated.
One ship.

Is that one of
the survey ships?

Yes.

She's been shot up
pretty badly.

Scanners indicate
she's on autopilot.

Minimal life signs.

Ivanova to Medlab,
this is a priority-one alert.

Why are you doing this?

Why are you torturing me?

You can at least tell me
what you want.

That device.

Nu'shakarr!

That's what's making you
do this, isn't it?

Fight it.

'Fight it!'

[grunting]

Who are they?

Why are they doing this?
Dosh-vann?

[grunting]

Aah!

Zatrak!

Zatrak!

Kill me!

That's what they want,
isn't it?

For us
to kill each other?

What is it to him, huh?
Sport? Entertainment?

- Kill me!
- No!

Still alive.

Still alive!

Alright, pump in
another 50 cc's of morphozine.

I want those scanners
online now!

How's he doing?

Oh, he's soaked up
in lot of radiation.

We got to be careful, or he'll
contaminate the whole place.

Steven, if he sucked up
that much radiation--

Look, don't tell me my business
and I won't tell you yours!

Start a full-body
transfusion.

I need more regen packs. You
line them up! Now, move!

Doc!

Ramirez, don't try to talk.
You're gonna be alright, okay?

I guess I won't...collect
the...30 credits.

Ramirez!

Ramirez, don't you do this
to me! Damn it!

You did all you could.
Come on. He..

Ramirez.

I heard.

We finished going over the
data record from his Starfury.

It looks like an alien ship
took the captain.

Totally unknown
configuration.

Meaning we don't know
where it came from

or where it's going.

Great.

For 20 cycles, I stood beside
you as one of the Nine.

'I called many of you friends.'

And now you call me...outcast.

You know me.

You know I believe in the task
that is before us

the Great War
that is coming.

I have not turned
my back on you.

In trying to help,
I have sacrificed

all that I was
and all that I am.

We can no longer
allow ourselves

to be separated
by names and borders.

Our two sides must unite
or be destroyed.

Do not make my sacrifice
a vain one.

Allow me to finish
what I started.

In the name of our friendship

and the future of our people

let me remain
with Babylon 5.

I'm more than happy
to have you remain

with the humans.

You are the one
chosen to replace me?

I do not know you.

I believe you do.

Neroon!

I do not understand!

He is Warrior Caste
from the Star Rider's clan!

What is happening here?

What are you doing?

When Valen called
the Nine together

he chose three
from the Worker Caste

three from
the Religious Caste

and three
from the Warrior Caste.

My replacement should have been
from the Religious Caste.

Four from the Warrior Caste

gives them
unprecedented power.

(Neroon)
'Why not?'

It was the Warrior Caste
who died

in the war against
the Earthers.

'Warrior Caste who have defended
our world for centuries'

while the Council floated
among the stars

isolated from
its own people.

This is wrong!

Is it?

You say a prophecy tells us
a great war is coming.

Should not the Warrior Caste
lead against it?

The Warrior Caste cannot be
allowed to set policy.

(Neroon)
'Have you done any better?'

When I was inducted
into this circle

I was finally told
the reason

we were ordered
to surrender.

I didn't know
whether to laugh or weep.

If we had been told
the truth then

we never would have
surrendered.

You do not understand.

I understand that
before me is a creature

I do not recognize.

One foot in two worlds.

'You are an affront
to the purity of our race!'

'And your belief that
you are satisfying prophecy'

'is presumption
of the highest order'

and yet, it is true
that you are now

the perfect liaison
between us and the Earthers.

'You have no home
with either of us.'

So please, act out
your fantasy.

Be our go-between.

Return to Babylon 5

and stay there.

Hey. Hey, try not
to move too much.

Looks like I broke a couple of
your ribs when I put you down.

I think one may have
punctured your lung.

Here. It's disabled.

On the chance that
it was self-repairing

I took it apart pretty
thoroughly when you were out.

No. No water.

So far, they haven't given us
anything to eat or drink.

I haven't seen anybody
but you and...one other.

[groans]

Hey.

[groaning]

This whole place
is probably running

on automatic
for all I know.

Listen..

[grunts]

Do you have any idea
why we're here?

What they want from us?

Scout for invasion.

Experiment.

Evaluate potential targets.

Analyze.

Analyze us?

So this is like
some kind of a..

...big research system

picking up samples

deciding who's a good prospect
for invasion?

Yeah.

That explains
this device, then.

They want to push us

see how much pain
we can stand

how well we'll fight.

Our ships
probably give them

a good idea of our
level of technology.

I wonder what they're
looking for now.

Our resourcefulness?

If we'll betray
each other

or work together?

Easy, easy.
Come on, now.

Look, we get out of here,
we'll get you to a doctor.

First obligation
of a prisoner is to escape.

Right?

Right?

Listen, before, uh..

...why did you ask me
to kill you?

There is no escape.

Better to die.

- To die.
- Oh, no, you don't.

Satai Delenn?

Only Delenn
from now on.

The Grey Council feels

that I can best
serve our people

by staying on Babylon 5.

They feel very
positively about it.

The Council
is very wise.

Yes.

Of course.

You do not have to go back
with me, Lennier.

You could go home.

You could be free
of all this.

Return to your studies,
to your family..

Where you walk,
I will walk.

I have sworn myself
to your side.

You do not know.

You cannot know
what you're saying.

Yes, I do.

Come what may, Delenn

I will not leave you
while I am still alive.

I remember when
you first came to me.

You would not look up

until I ordered you
to do so.

But it did no good.

Even when you were
looking up

you were looking down.

Look at me, Lennier.

Very soon now

I will be going
into darkness

and fire.

I do not know if I'm fated
to walk out again.

If it is your choice
to come with me..

...then I could not wish
for a better

a braver companion.

I heard there's been a sighting
of the alien ship.

It's popped out
of hyperspace twice more

long enough to attack ships
from two different species.

It's almost as if
it's collecting specimens.

And that helps.

Every time it stops
to grab another ship

we gain more time
to catch up to it

before it can get back
to its homeworld.

Well, unfortunately, we're
no closer to finding out

where that is now than
we were when we started.

Have you been coordinating
with the alien governments?

With these new attacks,
they have a vested interest

in stopping this thing.

I've given all the ambassadors
a full description.

I've also recalled
all of our fighters

and placed them on standby.

They're ready to go
as soon as we hear anything.

Good.

On the theory that we may need
added firepower

I've placed a few calls
of my own.

Jumpgate activated.

The Agamemnon!

The captain's old ship.

And I thought they might be
interested in lending a hand.

She's the fastest thing
in the area.

If she can't catch
that ship, nobody can.

Now, we've got the power.

All we need now
is the target.

Shh.

Do you know who I am?

The man in between
is searching for you.

You are the hand.

Why are you here?

We were never away.

For the first time

your mind is quiet
enough to hear me.

Why am I here?

You have always
been here.

Give me a lever big enough

and I will move the world.

(Delenn)
'Minbari flier Zalon
to Babylon Control.'

(Babylon Control)
'Confirmed, Minbari flier.
We read you.'

I have been trying
for some time to make contact.

Is there a problem?

'Yes, ambassador. Captain
Sheridan is reported missing.'

'We're asking all ships
in the region for help.'

Send me the information, please.

'Stand by.'

Commander, I've got
Ambassador Delenn on the line.

She says she has information
about the alien ship.

Put her through.

Ambassador, what have you got?

The ship which has taken
Captain Sheridan is known to us.

They are called the Streibs.

Over the years,
they have sent out ships

to investigate defenses

and acquire samples of any life
forms they encountered.

The last expedition
was into Minbari space.

We dragged them back
to their homeworld

and made sure
they understood

the depth of their mistake.

Can you give us the coordinates
for their homeworld?

Of course.

It feels like we just jumped
back into normal space.

It was just
another quick stop

or...we're approaching
their homeworld.

Either way, there's
not much time left.

We've jumped back
to hyperspace.

No, that was no jump.

All fighters,
fire at will

'but only acquire
external targets.'

'Confirm.'

We've been hit!

They're probably redirecting
power to the engines.

They'll also
be distracted.

This is our chance.
Come on.

[grunting]

This is Ambassador Delenn
of the Minbari.

If you remember
our last confrontation

you will release
your prisoners at once.

Come on.

- Come on!
- Ohh! Ohh!

We've come this far.
You can't die on me now.

No. No. You go.
Leave me.

Like hell!

Aah!

[alarm blaring]

They know.

No, it sounds like
a general alarm.

Hey, you wait here.

I thought I told you
to wait for me.

[groaning]

'What is that?'

- Survival pod.
- Survival?

Hell, let's move.

Come on!

Oh, my God!
They've spaced the captives.

Killed them.
Those arrogant sons of..

Take them down!

Just a second.
I'm picking up a signal.

One of them is
making a break for it.

'Moving in on attack vector.'

Three dots, three dashes,
three dots.

SOS. Hold your fire!

It's the captain!

How is he, doc?

He lost a lot of blood

suffered four broken ribs
and some internal bruising

but he'll make it.

Hmm.

What about Ramirez?

Made it back,
but we lost him.

Radiation poisoning.

It doesn't make sense,
does it?

I mean, wh..

Why am I still alive,
and he..

He was just a kid.

It's not fair.

No, it's not.

Death never is.

You have always
been here.

[bell rings]

Come.

No, no. After what
you've been through

you deserve to sit
for a while.

Sure.

I was hoping to go aboard
the Agamemnon before she left

but I guess
they had to get going.

There's always
a crisis somewhere.

Now we can talk freely.

I don't know
that the room is bugged

but I don't wanna
take any chances.

Well, it is about time
somebody...showed up

to debrief me,
damn it!

I've been waiting here
for six months.

I started feeling like
I'd been abandoned.

I'm sorry.

But with the death
of President Santiago

it's taken a while
to sort things through.

'What have you found out?'

They're all loyal to Earth,
if that's what you mean.

Ivanova, Garibaldi, Franklin
all the rest of them.

They're good people,
general.

I don't like
spying on them.

No, you're not a spy.

More like a..

...trap-door spider.

Santiago understood
the importance of Babylon 5.

He knew that if anything
happened to him

President Clark
would appoint some

hard-nosed jar-head
to run this place.

Well, we both know
you're not that.

But...from your record
you look like that.

Now, if Clark and his friends
think you're one of them

they'll leave you alone,
which is what we need.

Why?

Not everyone back home
buys the party line

that Santiago's death
was an accident.

Yeah, well, lately,
I've been having

some real second thoughts
about this myself.

If Santiago's death
was an assassination

we're talking about
a military coup here.

Not entirely, though they
probably had some support

from within the military.

The intelligence
community

the home guard.

But they're not the ones
calling the shots.

It's Psi Corps, isn't it?

Probably.

The trick is proving it.

We have to proceed
very carefully back home.

If we go too far,
too fast

we'll be...noticed.

Babylon 5, on the other hand
has military intelligence

and civilian sources
to draw upon.

And since they think
you're on their side

they won't be paying
us close attention.

You're making an awfully
big assumption

that I'm on your side.

What makes you think
I won't turn you in

the second you walk out
that door?

A soldier's record
tells a lot about a person.

Not just what he's done..

...but how he's done it
and why.

Now, you have an uncommon
failing for someone

in your position, captain.
You're a patriot.

You believe, as I do, that when
we put on this uniform

we took a solemn vow
to protect Earth

against threats from outside
and from within.

Now, it's a..

...a difficult decision.

You risk losing
your entire career

if you say yes.

Worse still now that
you've had a chance

to evaluate your staff,
you have to decide

if you can trust them enough
to bring them in on this

knowing that you're putting them
in equal jeopardy.

It's not much reward
for being..

...trustworthy, is it?

No.

No, it's not.

But it's time we stopped
reacting and started acting.

Now, in 20 minutes

I'm getting on a ship
and heading for Earth.

I'll try to feed you
as much information as I can

when I can.

Your cooperation
is essential..

...if we're going to take back
our government.

So..

I need your answer, captain,
and I need it now.

[bell rings]

(Captain Sheridan)
'Yes?'

What do you mean,
yes? It's me.

[door opens]

I see he rousted you two
out of bed also.

What's going on?

I think you'd better
sit down, Susan.

Ever since the death
of President Santiago

something unpleasant's
been going on back home.

You know it, and I know it.

We've stood by too long.

That's going to change.

Quietly

discreetly

an inch at a time

and for now

strictly within the rules.

'But we have to do something'

'or risk losing
everything we hold dear.'

'Now, we'll get some help
from inside Earth Dome'

'but the bottom line'

if anything goes wrong,
we're on our own.

Anybody wants to leave now

before you hear anything
you'll have to report, do so.

Nothing will be said.

- I'm in.
- Ditto.

Hey, I never did know
when to butt out.

We're with you,
captain.

Wherever this goes,
however it ends

we're with you.
