(John)
'We'll swing back
this way in a month.'
4
00:00:18,333 --> 00:00:20,250
Make sure everything's okay.
5
00:00:20,333 --> 00:00:23,583
Those hijackers so much
as blink in your direction..
6
00:00:23,667 --> 00:00:25,333
...yell. We'll be here.
7
00:00:25,417 --> 00:00:26,792
(male #1)
'Roger. See you then.'
8
00:00:26,875 --> 00:00:28,333
Agamemnon out.
9
00:00:30,833 --> 00:00:32,750
Initiate jump into hyperspace.
10
00:00:32,833 --> 00:00:34,083
Jump point, aye.
11
00:00:35,875 --> 00:00:38,958
[music continues]
12
00:00:41,625 --> 00:00:43,417
Captain, we're getting
a coded signal
13
00:00:43,500 --> 00:00:45,792
from Earth Dome
on Gold Channel one.
14
00:00:45,875 --> 00:00:48,875
It's General Hague,
joint chiefs of staff.
15
00:00:51,250 --> 00:00:52,792
Patch it through to my office.
16
00:00:52,875 --> 00:00:54,042
Yes, sir.
17
00:00:56,708 --> 00:00:57,958
(John)
'Receive.'
18
00:00:58,042 --> 00:01:00,375
General, this is a surprise.
19
00:01:00,458 --> 00:01:01,792
What can I do for you?
20
00:01:01,875 --> 00:01:03,500
In the last few days,
a Minbari warship
21
00:01:03,583 --> 00:01:05,917
has been seen in
Earth-controlled space.
22
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,958
Sector 423 by 2-7.
23
00:01:08,042 --> 00:01:10,917
That would put it about
two jumps from Babylon 5.
24
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,375
Exactly.
25
00:01:12,458 --> 00:01:15,000
We have reason to believe
it may have hostile intent.
26
00:01:15,083 --> 00:01:17,083
I-I don't understand.
27
00:01:17,167 --> 00:01:19,292
The war's been over
for more than 10 years.
28
00:01:19,375 --> 00:01:22,042
Why would the Minbari government
launch an attack?
29
00:01:22,125 --> 00:01:23,333
They wouldn't.
30
00:01:23,417 --> 00:01:25,667
We have a renegade
warship on our hands.
31
00:01:25,750 --> 00:01:26,792
The Trigati.
32
00:01:26,875 --> 00:01:28,125
Looks like it.
33
00:01:28,208 --> 00:01:29,833
We've had three separate
reports of sightings
34
00:01:29,917 --> 00:01:31,167
by ships in that area.
35
00:01:31,250 --> 00:01:32,667
Has it attacked any of them?
36
00:01:32,750 --> 00:01:35,500
Strangely enough,
no, it hasn't. Not yet anyway.
37
00:01:35,583 --> 00:01:37,250
But that may change
at any moment.
38
00:01:37,333 --> 00:01:39,708
The Minbari government
has dispatched a second cruiser
39
00:01:39,792 --> 00:01:42,958
in hopes to find the Trigati
before it does any damage.
40
00:01:43,042 --> 00:01:45,958
But it may be a while
before that cruiser arrives.
41
00:01:46,042 --> 00:01:49,833
When it does, I want you to make
personal contact with it
42
00:01:49,917 --> 00:01:51,292
and coordinate the search.
43
00:01:51,375 --> 00:01:54,208
[clears throat]
General, with all due respect..
44
00:01:54,292 --> 00:01:58,000
...the last time I made personal
contact with a Minbari warship
45
00:01:58,083 --> 00:01:59,708
I sent it straight to hell.
46
00:01:59,792 --> 00:02:02,375
That's why I want you
in that part of space, captain.
47
00:02:02,458 --> 00:02:05,750
You've beaten them once, and, if
necessary, you can do so again.
48
00:02:05,833 --> 00:02:07,875
'Tell no one about this.'
49
00:02:07,958 --> 00:02:09,250
Understood.
50
00:02:09,333 --> 00:02:11,750
So, I'm to take
the Agamemnon to Babylon 5
51
00:02:11,833 --> 00:02:14,792
and coordinate with them,
is that correct?
52
00:02:14,875 --> 00:02:15,917
Not exactly.
53
00:02:16,792 --> 00:02:19,583
I need you to do one other job.
54
00:02:19,667 --> 00:02:21,833
And this comes straight
from the president.
55
00:02:24,667 --> 00:02:26,542
(Susan)
Status report,
Lieutenant Commander
56
00:02:26,625 --> 00:02:28,375
Susan Ivanova recording.
57
00:02:28,458 --> 00:02:30,042
It is now eight days
since the death
58
00:02:30,125 --> 00:02:32,375
of Earth Alliance
President Luis Santiago..
59
00:02:32,458 --> 00:02:34,208
...and five days
since Commander Sinclair
60
00:02:34,292 --> 00:02:36,375
was recalled to Earth
without explanation.
61
00:02:38,083 --> 00:02:41,042
And the whole place
has gone straight to hell.
62
00:02:41,125 --> 00:02:44,083
[indistinct yelling]
63
00:02:49,917 --> 00:02:52,167
And as far as I'm concerned,
the transports can wait
64
00:02:52,250 --> 00:02:53,583
until the sun explodes!
65
00:02:53,667 --> 00:02:55,417
And if you're not happy
with the seating arrangements
66
00:02:55,500 --> 00:02:59,083
I will personally order
your seats to be moved outside
67
00:02:59,167 --> 00:03:01,250
down the hall,
across the station
68
00:03:01,333 --> 00:03:03,625
and into the fusion reactor.
69
00:03:03,708 --> 00:03:06,833
Am I absolutely,
perfectly clear on this?
70
00:03:11,250 --> 00:03:13,375
I can only conclude
that I'm paying off karma
71
00:03:13,458 --> 00:03:15,458
at a vastly accelerated rate.
72
00:03:17,333 --> 00:03:18,917
Security Chief,
Michael Garibaldi
73
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,583
remains in critical
condition in Medlab.
74
00:03:21,667 --> 00:03:23,250
Dr. Franklin's
done all he can..
75
00:03:23,333 --> 00:03:25,417
...but we still don't know
if he'll recover.
76
00:03:27,583 --> 00:03:29,958
As for Ambassador Delenn..
77
00:03:30,042 --> 00:03:33,125
...well...something's going on
in her quarters.
78
00:03:33,208 --> 00:03:34,875
That's for sure.
79
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,833
[beeps]
Ivanova.
80
00:03:38,917 --> 00:03:40,583
(male #2)
'We've got a Gold Channel
message for you.'
81
00:03:40,667 --> 00:03:42,125
'It's General Hague.'
82
00:03:42,208 --> 00:03:44,167
I'll take it
in the briefing room.
83
00:03:49,875 --> 00:03:52,375
Computer, accept and decode
Gold Channel signal.
84
00:03:53,583 --> 00:03:54,625
General.
85
00:03:54,708 --> 00:03:56,833
Lieutenant commander.
86
00:03:56,917 --> 00:03:58,417
This may be breaking
the chain of command
87
00:03:58,500 --> 00:04:00,208
but I have some news
and I felt I should deliver
88
00:04:00,292 --> 00:04:01,625
that news myself.
89
00:04:01,708 --> 00:04:04,500
'Your commanding officer,
Commander Sinclair'
90
00:04:04,583 --> 00:04:07,250
'will not be returning
to Babylon 5.'
91
00:04:07,333 --> 00:04:09,958
He's being reassigned,
permanently.
92
00:04:13,625 --> 00:04:17,833
(male narrator)
The Babylon Project was
our last best hope for peace.
93
00:04:19,083 --> 00:04:22,333
A self-contained world
five miles long.
94
00:04:22,417 --> 00:04:24,417
Located in neutral territory.
95
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,833
A place of commerce
and diplomacy
96
00:04:27,917 --> 00:04:31,000
for a quarter of a million
humans and aliens.
97
00:04:33,583 --> 00:04:35,917
A shining beacon in space
98
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,000
all alone in the night.
99
00:04:39,083 --> 00:04:42,500
It was the dawn
of the Third Age of mankind.
100
00:04:42,583 --> 00:04:44,917
The year the Great War
came upon us all.
101
00:04:47,250 --> 00:04:48,542
This is the story
102
00:04:48,625 --> 00:04:51,167
of the last
of the Babylon stations.
103
00:04:51,250 --> 00:04:53,458
The year is 2259.
104
00:04:53,542 --> 00:04:54,583
The name of the place
105
00:04:54,667 --> 00:04:56,792
is Babylon 5.
106
00:04:56,875 --> 00:04:59,917
[theme music]
107
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,833
[music continues]
108
00:05:41,667 --> 00:05:43,875
General, with all due respect
109
00:05:43,958 --> 00:05:46,833
what do you mean you're
reassigning Commander Sinclair?
110
00:05:46,917 --> 00:05:48,083
Reassigning him where?
111
00:05:48,167 --> 00:05:50,083
To the Minbari home world.
112
00:05:50,167 --> 00:05:52,000
He'll be functioning
as the first Earth Ambassador
113
00:05:52,083 --> 00:05:54,250
allowed permanent
residence there.
114
00:05:54,333 --> 00:05:56,708
The president's been trying
to find someone suitable
115
00:05:56,792 --> 00:05:59,625
and the Minbari specifically
requested Sinclair.
116
00:05:59,708 --> 00:06:00,583
But why him?
117
00:06:00,667 --> 00:06:01,750
'That information is strictly'
118
00:06:01,833 --> 00:06:03,167
on a need-to-know basis.
119
00:06:03,250 --> 00:06:04,708
I've already briefed
Captain Sheridan
120
00:06:04,792 --> 00:06:05,750
on the situation.
121
00:06:05,833 --> 00:06:06,917
Captain Sheridan, John Sheridan?
122
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,583
That's right.
I believe you know him.
123
00:06:08,667 --> 00:06:10,792
Yes, sir. I served under him
at the transfer point of Io.
124
00:06:10,875 --> 00:06:13,500
He's a good man
and a fine officer, but
125
00:06:13,583 --> 00:06:15,792
it's bound to be controversial
choice...if I may ask.
126
00:06:15,875 --> 00:06:18,292
You may not, any further
questions, will have to
127
00:06:18,375 --> 00:06:20,125
go through your new CO.
128
00:06:20,208 --> 00:06:22,167
Good day, lieutenant commander.
129
00:06:22,250 --> 00:06:23,458
[device beeps]
130
00:06:29,583 --> 00:06:32,500
[Lennier chanting]
131
00:06:37,125 --> 00:06:38,208
So..
132
00:06:39,542 --> 00:06:41,083
'She's done it, hasn't she?'
133
00:06:42,375 --> 00:06:43,708
She's in there.
134
00:06:44,917 --> 00:06:46,708
We told her to wait.
135
00:06:46,792 --> 00:06:49,417
Prophecy will attend
to itself, we told her.
136
00:06:53,750 --> 00:06:55,958
Now we are committed
to the path.
137
00:06:58,250 --> 00:07:01,000
I've spoken with the other
members of the council.
138
00:07:01,083 --> 00:07:03,792
The Trigati has been
seen in this sector.
139
00:07:03,875 --> 00:07:05,667
If it should appear,
you must go to the humans
140
00:07:05,750 --> 00:07:08,167
and tell them
what we've told you.
141
00:07:08,250 --> 00:07:10,375
'It's time they knew the truth.'
142
00:07:12,417 --> 00:07:14,083
Lieutenant commander,
about the new captain--
143
00:07:14,167 --> 00:07:15,583
Yes, I would like
a full honor guard present
144
00:07:15,667 --> 00:07:17,667
when his ship docks.
We've barely got enough time--
145
00:07:17,750 --> 00:07:19,292
- 'He's here.'
- What?
146
00:07:19,375 --> 00:07:20,958
His Earth force transport
just docked.
147
00:07:21,042 --> 00:07:23,625
Apparently, there was a
miscommunication about the time.
148
00:07:29,083 --> 00:07:30,375
Hello, sir.
149
00:07:40,292 --> 00:07:41,917
Welcome aboard, sir.
150
00:07:42,958 --> 00:07:44,125
I'm authorized
to surrender command of
151
00:07:44,208 --> 00:07:45,750
Babylon 5 to you at this time.
152
00:07:45,833 --> 00:07:48,917
Thank you, lieutenant commander.
I accept command.
153
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,750
Uh, there seems to be
a problem with the unloaders.
154
00:07:51,833 --> 00:07:53,917
Uh, could you have my bags
delivered to my quarters?
155
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,875
- Of course.
- Thank you.
156
00:07:56,958 --> 00:07:58,250
I assume you'd like
to begin with a quick tour
157
00:07:58,333 --> 00:07:59,417
of the facilities?
158
00:07:59,500 --> 00:08:00,417
Yes, absolutely.
159
00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:02,167
Great. Right this way.
160
00:08:05,917 --> 00:08:07,208
(Susan)
'It's good
to see you again, sir.'
161
00:08:07,292 --> 00:08:09,375
- How was your flight?
- Fine.
162
00:08:09,458 --> 00:08:12,542
They actually had
fresh oranges on the transport.
163
00:08:12,625 --> 00:08:16,042
I haven't had an orange
in almost two years.
164
00:08:16,125 --> 00:08:17,750
I used to dream about them.
165
00:08:17,833 --> 00:08:20,042
Grapes, nectarines, plums..
166
00:08:20,125 --> 00:08:22,417
The black ones,
not the red ones.
167
00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:24,333
I mean, it's amazing
what two years on the rim
168
00:08:24,417 --> 00:08:25,958
can do to you.
169
00:08:26,042 --> 00:08:28,833
I have a hunch I'll be spending
a lot of time in hydroponics.
170
00:08:28,917 --> 00:08:30,333
[chuckles]
171
00:08:30,417 --> 00:08:33,000
On the way in, I...read
the station reports
172
00:08:33,083 --> 00:08:35,125
trying to catch up
on everything.
173
00:08:35,208 --> 00:08:36,542
What's our status?
174
00:08:36,625 --> 00:08:39,250
Chief of security's in
critical condition in Medlab.
175
00:08:39,333 --> 00:08:40,875
He thinks there's
a conspiracy concerning
176
00:08:40,958 --> 00:08:42,125
the president's death.
177
00:08:42,208 --> 00:08:45,250
Ambassador G'Kar
has mysteriously vanished.
178
00:08:45,333 --> 00:08:46,708
After two years,
we still don't know what
179
00:08:46,792 --> 00:08:49,583
Ambassador Kosh looks like
inside his encounter suit..
180
00:08:49,667 --> 00:08:53,458
...and Ambassador Delenn
is in a cocoon.
181
00:08:53,542 --> 00:08:54,792
A cocoon?
182
00:08:57,042 --> 00:08:59,417
As in a moth or a butterfly?
183
00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:00,583
Yes, sir.
184
00:09:00,667 --> 00:09:02,083
About yea high.
185
00:09:04,417 --> 00:09:06,417
Interesting place you have here.
186
00:09:07,708 --> 00:09:08,792
Yes, sir.
187
00:09:10,375 --> 00:09:13,458
[indistinct chattering]
188
00:09:17,208 --> 00:09:19,708
Show me this place.
189
00:09:19,792 --> 00:09:23,625
[automated]
'Babylon 5 is divided into
several different sections.'
190
00:09:23,708 --> 00:09:26,458
'Green sector is
for diplomatic personnel.'
191
00:09:26,542 --> 00:09:29,708
'And is closed
to unauthorized personnel.'
192
00:09:29,792 --> 00:09:31,750
'The red sector is for
commerce and..'
193
00:09:34,500 --> 00:09:36,000
And this will be your quarters.
194
00:09:36,083 --> 00:09:37,667
I hope it's satisfactory?
195
00:09:37,750 --> 00:09:40,667
It's fine...fine.
196
00:09:40,750 --> 00:09:42,875
It's certainly a lot bigger
than what I 'm used to.
197
00:09:44,917 --> 00:09:47,042
Does this place
come with a shower?
198
00:09:47,125 --> 00:09:49,208
I mean, a real...live
honest-to-God shower
199
00:09:49,292 --> 00:09:50,667
with running water
and everything?
200
00:09:50,750 --> 00:09:52,125
Executive suites
in command quarters
201
00:09:52,208 --> 00:09:54,833
all have showers with
real live honest-to-God water.
202
00:09:54,917 --> 00:09:56,458
The rest get vibe showers.
203
00:09:56,542 --> 00:09:57,708
Our water reclamation system
204
00:09:57,792 --> 00:09:59,083
can't handle
much more than that.
205
00:09:59,167 --> 00:10:01,458
Mmm, a shower.
206
00:10:01,542 --> 00:10:03,667
I may come to like it here.
207
00:10:03,750 --> 00:10:05,333
Which brings me to something
I've been wanting to ask you.
208
00:10:05,417 --> 00:10:08,708
It's, uh, it's kind of awkward.
209
00:10:08,792 --> 00:10:11,458
You've never worried
about being diplomatic before.
210
00:10:11,542 --> 00:10:13,458
Don't disappoint me
by starting now.
211
00:10:14,708 --> 00:10:15,875
When I heard about
the change in command
212
00:10:15,958 --> 00:10:16,875
I figured we'd get stuck with
213
00:10:16,958 --> 00:10:19,458
some high-level bureaucrat.
214
00:10:19,542 --> 00:10:21,458
Or an admiral or
an ambassador and--
215
00:10:21,542 --> 00:10:22,583
'And why me?'
216
00:10:24,042 --> 00:10:25,833
Yeah, I wondered the same thing.
217
00:10:25,917 --> 00:10:28,208
Apparently, I was the late
president's first choice
218
00:10:28,292 --> 00:10:31,083
to replace Sinclair
in case anything happened.
219
00:10:31,167 --> 00:10:32,542
While commanding the Agamemnon
220
00:10:32,625 --> 00:10:35,500
I worked with many
of the non-aligned worlds..
221
00:10:35,583 --> 00:10:37,708
The Centauri, Narns..
222
00:10:38,833 --> 00:10:40,458
Even a few Minbari.
223
00:10:40,542 --> 00:10:42,625
That's what I
was concerned about.
224
00:10:42,708 --> 00:10:44,625
I mean the Minbari aren't
exactly going to be thrilled
225
00:10:44,708 --> 00:10:47,500
to find out
you're running Babylon 5.
226
00:10:47,583 --> 00:10:49,292
I hear they still call
you "Star Killer."
227
00:10:49,375 --> 00:10:51,667
That was a long time ago,
12 years.
228
00:10:53,458 --> 00:10:55,375
Maybe they've
forgotten about it by now.
229
00:10:57,083 --> 00:10:59,542
Yeah, I know.
I don't believe it either.
230
00:11:01,292 --> 00:11:03,250
Well, one thing for sure..
231
00:11:03,333 --> 00:11:05,375
...I'll be relying
on you pretty heavily
232
00:11:05,458 --> 00:11:08,333
these next few weeks
until I'm up to speed.
233
00:11:08,417 --> 00:11:11,208
That certainly couldn't be
any worse than the last week.
234
00:11:11,292 --> 00:11:13,917
What with President Santiago's
death and everything else.
235
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,583
How's the crew handling it?
236
00:11:15,667 --> 00:11:17,500
They're still pretty shocked.
237
00:11:17,583 --> 00:11:20,042
I don't think the reality
of it has quiet sunken in yet.
238
00:11:20,125 --> 00:11:21,458
And you?
239
00:11:23,708 --> 00:11:26,542
[instrumental music]
240
00:11:29,708 --> 00:11:31,125
I don't know. I just..
241
00:11:32,583 --> 00:11:35,375
I just keep seeing
Earthforce One..
242
00:11:35,458 --> 00:11:37,750
'...blowing up over
and over again in my dreams.'
243
00:11:39,625 --> 00:11:42,542
In all my life, I thought
that I could handle everything.
244
00:11:42,625 --> 00:11:44,083
And fix any problem.
245
00:11:45,083 --> 00:11:46,542
When I saw that, I just..
246
00:11:48,292 --> 00:11:50,458
...realized I couldn't
do anything to stop it.
247
00:11:52,667 --> 00:11:54,583
I don't think I've ever
felt so helpless.
248
00:11:54,667 --> 00:11:57,625
I know. I felt the same way.
249
00:11:57,708 --> 00:11:59,125
'And ever since then,
the crew's needed me'
250
00:11:59,208 --> 00:12:02,333
to be strong for them.
And I've tried.
251
00:12:02,417 --> 00:12:04,000
I don't like to show weakness.
252
00:12:05,250 --> 00:12:06,917
I guess I get it from my father.
253
00:12:08,417 --> 00:12:10,333
But with the added madness
of trying to run this place
254
00:12:10,417 --> 00:12:12,250
and...the commander
being called back to Earth
255
00:12:12,333 --> 00:12:14,458
and the ambassadors
yelling and carrying on..
256
00:12:16,958 --> 00:12:19,292
[sighs]
I don't know, I just..
257
00:12:19,375 --> 00:12:21,583
I just hope
I've done okay by them.
258
00:12:23,667 --> 00:12:26,042
Let's just say
I'm very happy to see you.
259
00:12:26,125 --> 00:12:28,500
I appreciate that.
260
00:12:28,583 --> 00:12:30,917
And coming from you,
it means a lot.
261
00:12:32,458 --> 00:12:33,708
I should also mention
that the crew is really
262
00:12:33,792 --> 00:12:35,292
looking forward to meeting you.
263
00:12:35,375 --> 00:12:37,292
They've heard
all about you and..
264
00:12:37,375 --> 00:12:38,833
...I think right about
now they could really use
265
00:12:38,917 --> 00:12:40,333
something to smile about.
266
00:12:40,417 --> 00:12:42,208
Then we won't keep them waiting.
267
00:12:42,292 --> 00:12:43,500
I'll just grab a fast shower
268
00:12:43,583 --> 00:12:44,833
we'll head up to
command and control
269
00:12:44,917 --> 00:12:46,667
and I'll give them
my good luck speech.
270
00:12:46,750 --> 00:12:48,042
Sir?
271
00:12:48,125 --> 00:12:49,458
'That's the same speech
I gave them I when I took'
272
00:12:49,542 --> 00:12:52,000
command on Io on the Agamemnon.
273
00:12:52,083 --> 00:12:54,042
It's sort of my, uh..
274
00:12:54,125 --> 00:12:55,417
...good luck charm.
275
00:12:56,375 --> 00:12:57,875
I always give it within 24 hours
276
00:12:57,958 --> 00:12:59,458
of taking on a new assignment.
277
00:12:59,542 --> 00:13:00,917
Well then, I look forward
to hearing it.
278
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,333
Would you mind
if I met you in C&C?
279
00:13:02,417 --> 00:13:03,750
I have to take care
of something.
280
00:13:03,833 --> 00:13:05,792
Oh, of course.
See you there in 20 minutes.
281
00:13:12,542 --> 00:13:14,833
In Valen's name. Kalain.
282
00:13:14,917 --> 00:13:16,125
Kalain!
283
00:13:16,208 --> 00:13:17,250
Wait!
284
00:13:18,042 --> 00:13:19,083
Kalain!
285
00:13:20,375 --> 00:13:22,750
We do not harm our own kind,
Kalain. We never have.
286
00:13:22,833 --> 00:13:25,083
Perhaps it is time to start.
287
00:13:25,167 --> 00:13:27,542
The Grey Council
has betrayed us.
288
00:13:27,625 --> 00:13:29,917
What does a little
blood matter now?
289
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,375
No one has been betrayed.
290
00:13:31,458 --> 00:13:34,083
No! No lies.
291
00:13:34,167 --> 00:13:36,875
We have intercepted a message
from the humans to Minbar.
292
00:13:36,958 --> 00:13:39,167
We know they have chosen
Sheridan the Star Killer
293
00:13:39,250 --> 00:13:41,750
to lead this place.
It is an obscenity.
294
00:13:41,833 --> 00:13:43,250
We protested. They ignored us.
295
00:13:43,333 --> 00:13:46,792
Satai Delenn,
did she also ignore you?
296
00:13:48,417 --> 00:13:49,708
How do you know?
297
00:13:49,792 --> 00:13:51,500
We have supporters
even among the council.
298
00:13:51,583 --> 00:13:55,125
They tell us that Sinclair
is now on our world.
299
00:13:55,208 --> 00:13:56,417
He is an ambassador.
300
00:13:56,500 --> 00:13:57,792
So you say.
301
00:13:57,875 --> 00:14:00,417
But the Grey Council
never tells anyone
302
00:14:00,500 --> 00:14:04,125
the whole truth, does it?
303
00:14:04,208 --> 00:14:07,000
If you value your life,
leave now.
304
00:14:07,083 --> 00:14:08,833
While you still can.
305
00:14:10,250 --> 00:14:13,042
[intense music]
306
00:14:21,875 --> 00:14:23,833
[machine beeping]
307
00:14:32,833 --> 00:14:35,375
Good afternoon,
lieutenant commander.
308
00:14:35,458 --> 00:14:37,625
How did you know it was me?
309
00:14:37,708 --> 00:14:39,417
Well, it's 2:45,
you always come by
310
00:14:39,500 --> 00:14:41,042
at 2:45, see how he's doing.
311
00:14:42,625 --> 00:14:43,958
So..
312
00:14:44,042 --> 00:14:45,625
...how's he doing?
313
00:14:45,708 --> 00:14:48,042
Well, still no change.
314
00:14:48,125 --> 00:14:50,167
'We've managed to stabilize
his condition.'
315
00:14:50,250 --> 00:14:51,458
'Dropped in
as many region packs'
316
00:14:51,542 --> 00:14:53,167
'we think his body can handle.'
317
00:14:53,250 --> 00:14:56,458
Now all we can do is wait and
see if he comes out of the coma.
318
00:14:56,542 --> 00:15:00,125
It could be hours, days, weeks..
319
00:15:00,208 --> 00:15:01,625
Years?
320
00:15:01,708 --> 00:15:02,833
Never?
321
00:15:04,042 --> 00:15:05,375
Yeah.
322
00:15:05,458 --> 00:15:07,292
So all we can do is
keep him hooked up like this
323
00:15:07,375 --> 00:15:09,000
what, forever?
324
00:15:09,083 --> 00:15:11,292
Well, the human body
is an amazing thing.
325
00:15:12,667 --> 00:15:16,542
It can cure itself...
or it can simply decide one day
326
00:15:16,625 --> 00:15:18,417
that the world is
too painful to deal with
327
00:15:18,500 --> 00:15:19,750
and won't cooperate
no matter how hard
328
00:15:19,833 --> 00:15:21,333
you try to heal it.
329
00:15:22,375 --> 00:15:23,667
And that debate is going on
330
00:15:23,750 --> 00:15:26,042
'somewhere in Garibaldi's
body right now.'
331
00:15:27,542 --> 00:15:29,542
Just gonna have to wait
and see who wins.
332
00:15:29,625 --> 00:15:32,750
Well, then, I'll say
a prayer for him tonight.
333
00:15:32,833 --> 00:15:34,792
He's agnostic.
334
00:15:34,875 --> 00:15:37,042
Then I'll say half a prayer.
335
00:15:44,625 --> 00:15:46,833
It was an early Earth president
336
00:15:46,917 --> 00:15:50,083
Abraham Lincoln, who...best
described our current--
337
00:15:50,167 --> 00:15:52,042
Captain, they're ready for you.
338
00:15:53,375 --> 00:15:55,375
Ahh! Good. Ahem.
339
00:15:58,500 --> 00:15:59,792
Captain on deck.
340
00:16:05,292 --> 00:16:06,750
As you were.
341
00:16:09,792 --> 00:16:11,542
When I was 21..
342
00:16:11,625 --> 00:16:13,750
...I visited Tibet.
343
00:16:13,833 --> 00:16:16,708
I went to see
the new Dalai Lama.
344
00:16:16,792 --> 00:16:19,500
You do that sort of thing
when you're 21 and
345
00:16:19,583 --> 00:16:21,333
son of a diplomatic envoy.
346
00:16:22,833 --> 00:16:24,792
We had a simple...dinner.
347
00:16:25,667 --> 00:16:27,792
Rice, raisins, carrots..
348
00:16:27,875 --> 00:16:29,917
...steamed, not boiled.
349
00:16:30,875 --> 00:16:32,208
And green tea.
350
00:16:33,167 --> 00:16:34,417
When it was over..
351
00:16:35,625 --> 00:16:37,167
...he looked at me and said..
352
00:16:39,125 --> 00:16:40,833
"Do you understand?"
353
00:16:42,875 --> 00:16:44,750
I said, "No, I didn't."
354
00:16:46,958 --> 00:16:49,917
"A good beginning," he said.
355
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,875
"You'll be even better
when you begin to understand
356
00:16:53,958 --> 00:16:55,708
what you do not understand."
357
00:16:57,417 --> 00:17:01,042
After reading
some of your reports..
358
00:17:01,125 --> 00:17:03,250
...I begin to understand
what I don't understand
359
00:17:03,333 --> 00:17:05,000
about Babylon 5.
360
00:17:06,625 --> 00:17:09,500
But I couldn't wish for a more..
361
00:17:09,583 --> 00:17:10,708
...capable..
362
00:17:12,250 --> 00:17:14,917
...and skilled group of people
to learn from.
363
00:17:18,500 --> 00:17:22,583
It was an early Earth president,
Abraham Lincoln..
364
00:17:22,667 --> 00:17:27,958
...who best described
our current situation. He said..
365
00:17:28,042 --> 00:17:30,708
(male #3)
'C&C, this is security.
We have..'
366
00:17:30,792 --> 00:17:33,333
[clears throat]
Is there a problem?
367
00:17:33,417 --> 00:17:34,875
I'm sorry to bother you, sir
368
00:17:34,958 --> 00:17:36,625
but I 've got security
on the link.
369
00:17:36,708 --> 00:17:39,208
They've got a Minbari
demanding to speak to you.
370
00:17:39,292 --> 00:17:41,208
'He won't say what it's about,
only that it involves'
371
00:17:41,292 --> 00:17:43,167
'the safety of this station.'
372
00:17:43,250 --> 00:17:45,375
'He says it's
absolutely urgent.'
373
00:17:46,917 --> 00:17:49,042
Ah, well, um..
374
00:17:49,125 --> 00:17:50,333
...we'll get back
to this later.
375
00:17:50,417 --> 00:17:53,625
There's...plenty of time
for speeches.
376
00:17:53,708 --> 00:17:54,708
Carry on.
377
00:17:55,792 --> 00:17:57,542
Lieutenant commander.
378
00:17:59,750 --> 00:18:01,167
Hey, hey, hold it right there!
379
00:18:01,250 --> 00:18:03,125
That section's off-limits
to everyone but station
380
00:18:03,208 --> 00:18:05,167
personnel and diplomatic staff.
381
00:18:05,250 --> 00:18:07,500
I'm sorry. I seem to be lost.
382
00:18:07,583 --> 00:18:09,167
I'm looking for Brown two.
383
00:18:09,250 --> 00:18:10,917
Boy, you're way off.
You want the core shuttle.
384
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,167
It's back that way.
385
00:18:12,250 --> 00:18:14,083
I see. Thank you.
I'll be on my way.
386
00:18:14,167 --> 00:18:16,208
After I see your identicard.
387
00:18:18,250 --> 00:18:19,833
[intense music]
388
00:18:21,250 --> 00:18:22,708
Hey, wait a minute. This card..
389
00:18:24,583 --> 00:18:26,500
His name is Kalain.
390
00:18:26,583 --> 00:18:29,042
He was second in command
of one of our flagship cruisers
391
00:18:29,125 --> 00:18:31,417
during the war with your people.
392
00:18:31,500 --> 00:18:35,167
He has not been seen
since the end of the war.
393
00:18:35,250 --> 00:18:37,500
Why do you think he's here
to cause us a problem?
394
00:18:37,583 --> 00:18:39,500
I have my reasons,
I would not be bringing this
395
00:18:39,583 --> 00:18:40,875
'to you otherwise.'
396
00:18:40,958 --> 00:18:42,917
If you will arrange
to have him apprehended
397
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,083
I will have him picked up by
others and conveyed to Minbar.
398
00:18:46,167 --> 00:18:50,292
You said he was second in
command of a Minbari cruiser.
399
00:18:50,375 --> 00:18:51,583
Which one?
400
00:18:51,667 --> 00:18:53,750
I don't see what
that has to do with this.
401
00:18:53,833 --> 00:18:55,375
Was it the Trigati?
402
00:18:57,333 --> 00:18:58,875
What's the Trigati?
403
00:18:58,958 --> 00:19:01,042
It is not something
we like to talk about.
404
00:19:06,167 --> 00:19:08,167
At the end of the war..
405
00:19:08,250 --> 00:19:11,208
...when our ships
were ordered to surrender..
406
00:19:11,292 --> 00:19:12,833
...one of our
war leaders, Cinoval
407
00:19:12,917 --> 00:19:14,708
took his own life
rather than obey
408
00:19:14,792 --> 00:19:19,542
and became...
a martyr to his own crew.
409
00:19:19,625 --> 00:19:21,917
Kalain assumed command
410
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,500
and as a final act of protest
411
00:19:23,583 --> 00:19:26,583
they and the cruiser disappeared
into self-imposed exile.
412
00:19:26,667 --> 00:19:30,083
(John)
Over the years we've heard
rumors of a Minbari cruiser
413
00:19:30,167 --> 00:19:31,750
sighted where
it shouldn't have been.
414
00:19:31,833 --> 00:19:34,583
We always figured
it was the Trigati.
415
00:19:34,667 --> 00:19:36,250
But we've never been
able to prove it.
416
00:19:36,333 --> 00:19:39,458
They believe that they have
been betrayed by their own world
417
00:19:39,542 --> 00:19:41,458
and yours.
418
00:19:41,542 --> 00:19:43,333
Kalain's presence here
could indicate
419
00:19:43,417 --> 00:19:45,792
that they mean to
come out of retirement.
420
00:19:49,708 --> 00:19:51,292
Something I don't understand.
421
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,083
You said you're with
the Minbari government
422
00:19:55,167 --> 00:19:56,458
the ministry of culture.
423
00:19:56,542 --> 00:19:58,042
Yes, that's right.
424
00:19:58,125 --> 00:20:00,167
So, how does someone
in the ministry of culture
425
00:20:00,250 --> 00:20:03,750
know a high-ranking member
of the warrior caste
426
00:20:03,833 --> 00:20:07,250
well enough to recognize him
12 years later?
427
00:20:07,333 --> 00:20:09,708
I would answer your question..
428
00:20:09,792 --> 00:20:12,792
...if I recognized
your authority.
429
00:20:12,875 --> 00:20:15,125
Unlike your predecessor,
my government was not
430
00:20:15,208 --> 00:20:16,792
consulted on your appointment.
431
00:20:16,875 --> 00:20:18,250
The president feels the Minbari
432
00:20:18,333 --> 00:20:20,833
had too much influence
over an Earth outpost.
433
00:20:20,917 --> 00:20:22,083
Times change.
434
00:20:22,167 --> 00:20:23,792
And the day that a man
such as yourself
435
00:20:23,875 --> 00:20:27,792
is given a position of this
importance is a dark day indeed.
436
00:20:27,875 --> 00:20:31,083
We lost many of our best
warriors because of you.
437
00:20:32,875 --> 00:20:35,042
And we do not
soon forget such things.
438
00:20:36,417 --> 00:20:38,417
If there is a doom
on this station
439
00:20:38,500 --> 00:20:40,833
it is because
you brought it here!
440
00:20:45,125 --> 00:20:48,667
Well, he's Grey Council.
He's got to be.
441
00:20:48,750 --> 00:20:50,083
Only someone in the Grey Council
442
00:20:50,167 --> 00:20:51,917
would have had contact
with someone that high
443
00:20:52,042 --> 00:20:53,500
in the Minbari warrior caste.
444
00:20:53,583 --> 00:20:55,458
I mean,
they do not normally mix.
445
00:20:57,833 --> 00:20:59,167
And you were right.
446
00:21:00,583 --> 00:21:02,417
They're not happy
to see me here.
447
00:21:03,375 --> 00:21:05,000
They're a prideful people
448
00:21:05,083 --> 00:21:06,792
and the Black Star
was their flagship.
449
00:21:06,875 --> 00:21:10,333
Hmm...that's why
it made a good target.
450
00:21:10,417 --> 00:21:11,958
How did you take her out?
451
00:21:12,042 --> 00:21:13,833
I've always heard it was
some sort of new maneuver
452
00:21:13,917 --> 00:21:15,625
but I've never
heard the specifics.
453
00:21:15,708 --> 00:21:18,875
There wasn't much style
or finesse involved.
454
00:21:20,333 --> 00:21:22,708
She was huge.
Monstrous.
455
00:21:22,792 --> 00:21:24,833
We tried everything,
none of our weapons
456
00:21:24,917 --> 00:21:27,000
'would lock on to their ships.'
457
00:21:27,083 --> 00:21:30,292
Some kind of stealth technology.
458
00:21:30,375 --> 00:21:34,375
So...I hit on the idea
of mining the asteroid field
459
00:21:34,458 --> 00:21:36,750
between Jupiter and Mars.
460
00:21:36,833 --> 00:21:39,083
'A fusion bomb doesn't have
to lock on to anything'
461
00:21:39,167 --> 00:21:41,917
if it's close enough.
462
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,750
We took out the Black Star
and three of their
463
00:21:43,833 --> 00:21:46,167
heavy cruisers
before they could escape.
464
00:21:50,083 --> 00:21:52,042
It was the only real victory
we had in the whole damn war
465
00:21:52,125 --> 00:21:54,542
and I am not about
to apologize for it.
466
00:21:56,875 --> 00:21:58,625
He said..
467
00:21:58,708 --> 00:22:02,250
...Kalain feels his world
has betrayed him.
468
00:22:02,333 --> 00:22:03,625
If that's true..
469
00:22:05,292 --> 00:22:07,125
...wouldn't your first target
be the representative
470
00:22:07,208 --> 00:22:09,583
of that world?
471
00:22:09,667 --> 00:22:12,125
Delenn.
472
00:22:12,208 --> 00:22:13,208
Get up.
473
00:22:13,292 --> 00:22:16,042
[intense music]
474
00:22:18,833 --> 00:22:21,375
She's in there, isn't she?
475
00:22:21,458 --> 00:22:22,667
Move aside.
476
00:22:22,750 --> 00:22:24,583
Move aside!
477
00:22:25,500 --> 00:22:26,708
Freeze!
478
00:22:28,125 --> 00:22:29,750
Alright, put the gun down.
479
00:22:31,792 --> 00:22:34,625
Put the gun down.
We won't hurt you.
480
00:22:34,708 --> 00:22:38,708
If you are going
to kill me, then do so.
481
00:22:38,792 --> 00:22:41,292
Otherwise, I have
considerable work to do.
482
00:22:56,083 --> 00:22:57,833
You are the new
commanding officer?
483
00:22:57,917 --> 00:23:00,042
Captain John Sheridan,
Earthforce.
484
00:23:00,125 --> 00:23:02,917
Lennier.
Of the Third Fane of Chudomo.
485
00:23:06,208 --> 00:23:09,583
Ambassador Delenn is
indisposed at the moment.
486
00:23:09,667 --> 00:23:12,042
Perhaps you would
come back later.
487
00:23:12,125 --> 00:23:14,042
Much...later.
488
00:23:18,375 --> 00:23:19,583
Of course.
489
00:23:22,625 --> 00:23:24,250
(John)
'Let me get this straight.'
490
00:23:24,333 --> 00:23:27,125
A high-ranking member
of the Minbari warrior caste
491
00:23:27,208 --> 00:23:30,500
who no one has seen
in nearly 12 years
492
00:23:30,583 --> 00:23:33,333
suddenly appears
and for no apparent reason
493
00:23:33,417 --> 00:23:36,958
breaks into Ambassador Delenn's
quarters, gun in hand.
494
00:23:38,792 --> 00:23:41,833
Now, if you were looking
for the Minbari tourist bureau
495
00:23:41,917 --> 00:23:44,375
you were just a little off
course, wouldn't you say?
496
00:23:46,333 --> 00:23:47,792
But the curious thing is..
497
00:23:49,542 --> 00:23:52,333
...you don't finish the job.
498
00:23:52,417 --> 00:23:53,667
You could've killed both of them
499
00:23:53,750 --> 00:23:55,125
and been out of there
in two minutes.
500
00:23:55,208 --> 00:23:57,333
But instead,
we find you standing there
501
00:23:57,417 --> 00:23:58,917
practically waiting for us.
502
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,917
Everyone knows Minbari
do not kill Minbari.
503
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,250
Then why are you here?
504
00:24:05,333 --> 00:24:08,125
Perhaps everyone is wrong.
505
00:24:08,208 --> 00:24:11,000
Maybe you never
intended to kill them at all.
506
00:24:11,083 --> 00:24:13,625
Perhaps something else
is going on.
507
00:24:13,708 --> 00:24:15,375
are the problem.
508
00:24:15,458 --> 00:24:17,375
What's that supposed to mean?
509
00:24:19,500 --> 00:24:21,167
Captain,
we're not getting anywhere.
510
00:24:21,250 --> 00:24:23,083
I suggest we wrap it up
for now and try again tomorrow.
511
00:24:23,167 --> 00:24:24,583
One last thing.
512
00:24:26,458 --> 00:24:29,250
I'm told that after the death
of your commanding officer
513
00:24:29,333 --> 00:24:33,125
you took command
of a Minbari war cruiser.
514
00:24:33,208 --> 00:24:36,958
But if you're here...
where's your ship?
515
00:24:39,333 --> 00:24:42,375
[intense music]
516
00:24:47,792 --> 00:24:49,792
Captain.
517
00:24:49,875 --> 00:24:53,667
I apologize
if I was rude earlier.
518
00:24:53,750 --> 00:24:56,208
There is something
we need to discuss
519
00:24:56,292 --> 00:24:59,000
especially in light
of Kalain's presence.
520
00:24:59,083 --> 00:25:02,542
It concerns the reason
you were sent here
521
00:25:02,625 --> 00:25:05,375
the relocation
of Commander Sinclair
522
00:25:05,458 --> 00:25:08,375
and the reason we surrendered
at the Battle of the Line.
523
00:25:15,208 --> 00:25:18,500
After three years,
the holy war that began
524
00:25:18,583 --> 00:25:21,708
when our leader was killed
by an Earth Explorer Division
525
00:25:21,792 --> 00:25:24,000
was almost over.
526
00:25:24,083 --> 00:25:27,167
(Lennier)
To avenge Dukat's death,
we had pursued your forces
527
00:25:27,250 --> 00:25:29,833
all the way back
to your home world.
528
00:25:29,917 --> 00:25:31,667
The few surviving Earth ships
529
00:25:31,750 --> 00:25:35,250
that were ordered to defend
your world at any cost
530
00:25:35,333 --> 00:25:37,083
were not an obstacle.
531
00:25:37,167 --> 00:25:40,500
The Grey Council had come
to oversee the final victory
532
00:25:40,583 --> 00:25:42,500
of our forces.
533
00:25:42,583 --> 00:25:45,542
They fight bravely.
534
00:25:45,625 --> 00:25:47,583
They cannot harm our ships
535
00:25:47,667 --> 00:25:49,792
but they continue to try.
536
00:25:49,875 --> 00:25:52,667
Whether they fight or not,
they know they will die anyway
537
00:25:52,750 --> 00:25:55,792
so, really, is this bravery?
538
00:25:55,875 --> 00:25:57,583
Or simple desperation?
539
00:25:58,875 --> 00:26:01,000
Perhaps they are the same thing.
540
00:26:04,375 --> 00:26:07,708
We should bring one of them
aboard for questioning.
541
00:26:07,792 --> 00:26:11,375
If our next step is the final
assault on their world..
542
00:26:11,458 --> 00:26:13,458
...we must know their defenses.
543
00:26:13,542 --> 00:26:15,000
Very well, Delenn.
544
00:26:15,083 --> 00:26:16,208
Choose.
545
00:26:16,292 --> 00:26:17,833
But quickly.
546
00:26:17,917 --> 00:26:19,917
We're fast running
out of candidates.
547
00:26:22,125 --> 00:26:23,542
(Delenn)
'That one.'
548
00:26:23,625 --> 00:26:26,708
[dramatic music]
549
00:26:32,083 --> 00:26:34,333
(Lennier)
This was the first time
the Grey Council
550
00:26:34,417 --> 00:26:36,667
would have direct contact
with a human.
551
00:26:36,750 --> 00:26:39,000
In this case, Sinclair.
552
00:26:40,375 --> 00:26:44,000
He was tortured,
interrogated, scanned.
553
00:26:44,083 --> 00:26:45,667
During the course of the scan
554
00:26:45,750 --> 00:26:48,167
the council discovered
something terrible.
555
00:26:48,250 --> 00:26:49,917
At first they refused
to believe it.
556
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:54,042
So they took in other humans
and had them scanned as well.
557
00:26:54,125 --> 00:26:55,292
But it was true.
558
00:26:56,250 --> 00:26:57,542
What was true?
559
00:27:00,208 --> 00:27:03,083
It is our belief that
every generation of Minbari
560
00:27:03,167 --> 00:27:06,208
is reborn
in each following generation.
561
00:27:06,292 --> 00:27:09,708
'Remove those souls,
and the whole suffers.'
562
00:27:09,792 --> 00:27:11,833
'We are diminished.'
563
00:27:11,917 --> 00:27:16,208
Over the last 2000 years,
there have been fewer Minbari
564
00:27:16,292 --> 00:27:18,625
born into each generation.
565
00:27:18,708 --> 00:27:20,917
And those who are born..
566
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,417
...do not seem equal
to those who came before.
567
00:27:24,500 --> 00:27:29,542
It is almost as if our greater
souls have been disappearing.
568
00:27:29,625 --> 00:27:31,042
At the Battle of the Line
569
00:27:31,125 --> 00:27:33,875
we discovered where
our souls were going.
570
00:27:35,500 --> 00:27:37,375
They were going to you.
571
00:27:37,458 --> 00:27:39,958
'Minbari souls are being reborn'
572
00:27:40,042 --> 00:27:44,042
in part or in full,
in human bodies.
573
00:27:44,125 --> 00:27:47,583
So you stopped the war in order
to avoid harming your own souls?
574
00:27:47,667 --> 00:27:49,292
Yes.
575
00:27:49,375 --> 00:27:52,208
But the council
knew that our people and yours
576
00:27:52,292 --> 00:27:53,875
were not ready
for this information.
577
00:27:53,958 --> 00:27:56,708
It could unravel
our entire society.
578
00:27:56,792 --> 00:27:58,750
So we could not tell
our generals
579
00:27:58,833 --> 00:28:01,792
the reason for the surrender.
580
00:28:01,875 --> 00:28:03,583
We had all memory
of the examination
581
00:28:03,667 --> 00:28:06,875
erased from Sinclair's mind,
and we let him go.
582
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,542
It has been our secret.
Now it is yours.
583
00:28:11,625 --> 00:28:13,333
It must be kept.
584
00:28:13,417 --> 00:28:16,583
Then why break the silence now?
I mean, why tell us?
585
00:28:16,667 --> 00:28:19,083
Because changes are coming.
586
00:28:19,167 --> 00:28:21,333
Commander Sinclair
was the first.
587
00:28:21,417 --> 00:28:22,958
There will be more.
588
00:28:23,875 --> 00:28:25,833
[beeping]
589
00:28:25,917 --> 00:28:27,208
- Yes?
- 'Captain.'
590
00:28:27,292 --> 00:28:28,417
'We've got
something major coming'
591
00:28:28,500 --> 00:28:29,417
'through the jumpgate.'
592
00:28:29,500 --> 00:28:32,583
[dramatic music]
593
00:28:33,875 --> 00:28:35,625
'It's a Minbari cruiser.'
594
00:28:35,708 --> 00:28:37,333
Her gun ports are open,
and targeting systems
595
00:28:37,417 --> 00:28:38,625
are operational.
596
00:28:38,708 --> 00:28:40,125
She's on an attack vector.
597
00:28:40,208 --> 00:28:42,208
Repeat, she's on attack vector.
598
00:28:48,583 --> 00:28:50,125
I had this wonderful dream
the other night.
599
00:28:50,208 --> 00:28:52,792
We were in bed
in this beautiful hotel.
600
00:28:52,875 --> 00:28:54,417
Rose and mint wallpaper.
601
00:28:54,500 --> 00:28:56,458
- 'Hey, Warren.'
- It was sunny and..
602
00:28:56,542 --> 00:28:57,958
Check this out.
603
00:28:58,042 --> 00:28:59,667
(Warren)
Hold on just a sec.
604
00:29:04,500 --> 00:29:08,083
[sighs]
Can-so a man can't even enjoy
a letter from home anymore.
605
00:29:09,833 --> 00:29:11,125
What?
606
00:29:12,625 --> 00:29:13,875
What the hell?
607
00:29:15,250 --> 00:29:17,958
Red alert all quarters.
Have they hailed us yet?
608
00:29:18,042 --> 00:29:20,583
Yes, sir.
Awaiting your arrival.
609
00:29:20,667 --> 00:29:23,667
Activate defense grid,
all squadrons on standby
610
00:29:23,750 --> 00:29:25,375
but I don't want
any actions that might be
611
00:29:25,458 --> 00:29:26,458
considered provocative.
612
00:29:26,542 --> 00:29:27,542
Scrambling fighters.
613
00:29:27,625 --> 00:29:29,708
[indistinct shouting]
614
00:29:31,292 --> 00:29:33,417
(male #4)
'This is red alert.
All stations.'
615
00:29:33,500 --> 00:29:34,875
'This is red alert.'
616
00:29:36,958 --> 00:29:39,333
'This is red alert.
All stations.'
617
00:29:39,417 --> 00:29:41,000
'This is red alert.'
618
00:29:44,500 --> 00:29:45,708
This is Captain John Sheridan
619
00:29:45,792 --> 00:29:47,917
Earth Alliance,
station Babylon 5.
620
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,375
What can I do for you?
621
00:29:49,458 --> 00:29:51,500
This is Aliit Deeron
of the Minbari
622
00:29:51,583 --> 00:29:53,250
war cruiser, Trigati.
623
00:29:53,333 --> 00:29:56,500
You have illegally arrested
and detained the captain
624
00:29:56,583 --> 00:29:57,708
of this vessel.
625
00:29:57,792 --> 00:30:00,208
Your captain assaulted
one of my crew
626
00:30:00,292 --> 00:30:01,917
and was caught
in an attempted murder.
627
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,958
None of your people were killed.
628
00:30:04,042 --> 00:30:06,375
No Minbari was killed.
629
00:30:06,458 --> 00:30:08,708
You have not been harmed.
630
00:30:08,792 --> 00:30:11,042
You will release our captain.
631
00:30:11,125 --> 00:30:13,375
And if we refuse?
632
00:30:13,458 --> 00:30:14,792
Captain,
she's launching fighters.
633
00:30:14,875 --> 00:30:16,917
[intense music]
634
00:30:19,042 --> 00:30:20,667
(male #5)
'Zeta wing, prepare to launch.'
635
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,292
We're cleared.
636
00:30:24,375 --> 00:30:25,875
(male #5)
'God speed, Zeta wing.'
637
00:30:31,625 --> 00:30:33,583
Deeron, recall your fighters.
638
00:30:33,667 --> 00:30:36,917
Any attack on this station will
be considered an act of war.
639
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,417
The war has already
begun, captain.
640
00:30:40,500 --> 00:30:44,167
All that remains now
is honor and death.
641
00:30:45,333 --> 00:30:46,917
And I thought
I was a pessimist.
642
00:30:48,833 --> 00:30:50,333
It's odd she would say that.
643
00:30:50,417 --> 00:30:52,667
So far no one's been killed,
so there's no reason for
644
00:30:52,750 --> 00:30:54,542
this to escalate, unless..
645
00:30:57,333 --> 00:30:58,500
Oh, hell!
646
00:30:58,583 --> 00:31:00,583
- Get me security, fast!
- On it.
647
00:31:00,667 --> 00:31:02,167
They're trying to do
anything they can
648
00:31:02,250 --> 00:31:03,625
to start a shooting war.
649
00:31:04,875 --> 00:31:07,958
But Kalain didn't kill
the security guard.
650
00:31:08,042 --> 00:31:10,292
Or any of us.
651
00:31:10,375 --> 00:31:12,625
And the Trigati didn't
attack any of the ships
652
00:31:12,708 --> 00:31:14,917
that have seen it
the last few days.
653
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,083
What ships?
654
00:31:17,167 --> 00:31:18,792
Sorry. I was under orders
not to tell anyone.
655
00:31:18,875 --> 00:31:20,833
I will explain everything later.
656
00:31:20,917 --> 00:31:23,458
Captain,
security just linked in.
657
00:31:23,542 --> 00:31:25,375
Kalain is dead.
658
00:31:25,458 --> 00:31:26,667
They say it looks like suicide.
659
00:31:26,750 --> 00:31:28,417
That's what I was afraid of.
660
00:31:28,500 --> 00:31:31,125
They want it to look like
are provoking them into war.
661
00:31:31,208 --> 00:31:33,917
But why? I mean this whole bit
about us sharing Minbari souls?
662
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,250
They weren't told, remember?
663
00:31:35,333 --> 00:31:37,500
They don't know
they're not supposed to attack.
664
00:31:37,583 --> 00:31:38,917
You think they'd
believe us if we told them?
665
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,708
(male #5)
'Minbari fighters coming at us.'
666
00:31:41,792 --> 00:31:43,792
That answer your question?
667
00:31:43,875 --> 00:31:46,958
(male #5)
'They're on attack vector,
closing fast.'
668
00:31:47,042 --> 00:31:48,583
We don't have any choice.
669
00:31:49,875 --> 00:31:53,292
All fighters, intercept
enemy craft and engage.
670
00:31:53,375 --> 00:31:55,042
Confirmed, Babylon control.
671
00:31:56,042 --> 00:31:59,125
[dramatic music]
672
00:32:02,375 --> 00:32:04,083
- Those are our fighters?
- 'Yes, sir.'
673
00:32:04,167 --> 00:32:06,042
And those are
the Minbari fighters.
674
00:32:06,750 --> 00:32:08,083
The Minbari.
675
00:32:12,042 --> 00:32:14,000
'What kind of tracking
systems are we using?'
676
00:32:14,083 --> 00:32:15,958
Standard XB7 units. Why?
677
00:32:17,042 --> 00:32:18,500
The same kind we used
during the war
678
00:32:18,583 --> 00:32:20,417
but that doesn't make sense.
679
00:32:20,500 --> 00:32:22,750
We shouldn't be able
to track them at all.
680
00:32:24,125 --> 00:32:25,833
What was that she said?
681
00:32:25,917 --> 00:32:29,333
"All that remains now
is honor and death."
682
00:32:33,250 --> 00:32:34,833
All fighters, hold position.
683
00:32:34,917 --> 00:32:35,875
Sir, what are you doing?
684
00:32:35,958 --> 00:32:36,958
If they hold positions they're
685
00:32:37,042 --> 00:32:38,083
perfect targets.
686
00:32:38,167 --> 00:32:40,167
Zeta squadron
requesting confirmation
687
00:32:40,250 --> 00:32:41,542
of standby order.
688
00:32:41,625 --> 00:32:44,500
(John)
Confirm the order.
689
00:32:44,583 --> 00:32:46,625
Confirm it, damn it!
690
00:32:46,708 --> 00:32:48,292
I know what I'm doing.
691
00:32:49,667 --> 00:32:50,792
All fighters, confirmed.
692
00:32:50,875 --> 00:32:52,708
Maintain position.
Do not advance.
693
00:32:52,792 --> 00:32:54,708
Repeat, do not advance.
694
00:32:59,292 --> 00:33:01,958
Can you deliver a narrow band
transmission point to point
695
00:33:02,042 --> 00:33:03,708
without the Trigati
intercepting it?
696
00:33:03,792 --> 00:33:05,708
We can adjust the laser
delivery system, but--
697
00:33:05,792 --> 00:33:06,917
Do it.
698
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,917
Then open the jumpgate,
send this message
699
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,625
in a tight beam
transmission through the
700
00:33:10,708 --> 00:33:12,708
opening into hyperspace.
701
00:33:12,792 --> 00:33:14,417
Frequency and address,
it's all there.
702
00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:17,333
Enemy fighters
at 30 kilometers and closing.
703
00:33:17,417 --> 00:33:18,917
Activate jumpgate sequence.
704
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:20,500
(male #5)
'Jumpgate sequence, aye.'
705
00:33:24,417 --> 00:33:27,208
[intense music]
706
00:33:30,208 --> 00:33:31,833
If it's a distress signal,
it won't do any good.
707
00:33:31,917 --> 00:33:34,250
No one can get to us in time.
708
00:33:34,333 --> 00:33:36,750
(male #6)
'Come on, Babylon control,
give us a break here.'
709
00:33:36,833 --> 00:33:40,042
If we're not allowed
to fire, we're dead.
710
00:33:41,833 --> 00:33:43,208
(male #5)
'Enemy at 10 kilometers.'
711
00:33:44,167 --> 00:33:46,625
- 'Eight..'
- Captain..
712
00:33:46,708 --> 00:33:48,500
Hold your fire.
713
00:33:48,583 --> 00:33:50,167
Continue to hold.
714
00:33:51,542 --> 00:33:53,208
What the hell..
715
00:33:59,750 --> 00:34:01,833
I don't understand.
They didn't fire.
716
00:34:01,917 --> 00:34:04,583
They're looping back,
heading for the Trigati.
717
00:34:04,667 --> 00:34:06,750
- Exactly.
- B-but how did you know--
718
00:34:06,833 --> 00:34:08,667
(male #5)
'We've something's
coming through the jumpgate.'
719
00:34:12,167 --> 00:34:14,958
[music continues]
720
00:34:19,542 --> 00:34:20,792
That's why they didn't fire.
721
00:34:20,875 --> 00:34:22,333
They were waiting
for reinforcements.
722
00:34:22,417 --> 00:34:24,875
Negative.
723
00:34:24,958 --> 00:34:27,542
They're here
because I called them.
724
00:34:27,625 --> 00:34:29,125
I knew the Minbari government
725
00:34:29,208 --> 00:34:32,583
had sent another cruiser
to look for the Trigati.
726
00:34:32,667 --> 00:34:34,833
But...since no one's seen it
727
00:34:34,917 --> 00:34:36,875
I figured they were
waiting in hyperspace
728
00:34:36,958 --> 00:34:39,458
until they heard
about another sighting.
729
00:34:39,542 --> 00:34:41,333
Looks like I was right.
730
00:34:41,417 --> 00:34:43,208
But still doesn't explain
how you know the Trigati
731
00:34:43,292 --> 00:34:44,833
wouldn't attack.
732
00:34:44,917 --> 00:34:46,917
(male #5)
'We're monitoring a signal
from the cruiser.'
733
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,708
'They're ordering
the Trigati to surrender.'
734
00:34:49,792 --> 00:34:53,083
It's like I said, one of
the problems during the war
735
00:34:53,167 --> 00:34:55,500
was that, none of our weapons
systems couldn't lock on
736
00:34:55,583 --> 00:34:57,542
to the Minbari vessels.
737
00:34:57,625 --> 00:35:00,333
They used some kind
of stealth technology
738
00:35:00,417 --> 00:35:02,333
we were never able to break.
739
00:35:03,667 --> 00:35:06,583
So how come all of a sudden
we can track them?
740
00:35:06,667 --> 00:35:08,542
They want to be destroyed?
741
00:35:08,625 --> 00:35:12,333
"All that remains...
is honor and death."
742
00:35:14,917 --> 00:35:16,875
They have been in exile
for 12 years.
743
00:35:16,958 --> 00:35:18,875
They can't go home.
744
00:35:18,958 --> 00:35:20,917
They can't surrender
without being dishonored
745
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,542
and they can't fight
without a war.
746
00:35:23,625 --> 00:35:26,208
So by forcing us to attack..
747
00:35:26,292 --> 00:35:28,333
...by dying by human hands..
748
00:35:29,583 --> 00:35:30,792
...they become martyrs.
749
00:35:30,875 --> 00:35:32,833
And because you're known
for having fought them
750
00:35:32,917 --> 00:35:34,542
you're the perfect target.
751
00:35:34,625 --> 00:35:36,875
The Trigati's breaking away.
752
00:35:36,958 --> 00:35:39,458
Starting to open a jump point.
753
00:35:39,542 --> 00:35:40,833
Shall we open fire?
754
00:35:40,917 --> 00:35:43,208
No. The Minbari
will have to do this.
755
00:35:43,292 --> 00:35:45,292
(male #5)
'They're targeting
the Trigati's aft engines.'
756
00:35:51,125 --> 00:35:52,458
(Susan)
'The Trigati's engines
have been hit.'
757
00:35:52,542 --> 00:35:53,958
Unable to make jump.
758
00:35:54,042 --> 00:35:55,792
No change in life signs.
it's a clean hit.
759
00:35:55,875 --> 00:35:58,042
The war cruiser is ordering
the Trigati to stand down
760
00:35:58,125 --> 00:35:59,375
and prepare to be boarded.
761
00:35:59,458 --> 00:36:03,542
- Their response?
- Just one word...honor.
762
00:36:03,625 --> 00:36:04,917
We're picking up
a change in the Trigati's
763
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,708
fusion reactors.
They're moving towards critical.
764
00:36:07,792 --> 00:36:09,750
They're..
765
00:36:09,833 --> 00:36:10,875
Oh, my God.
766
00:36:12,583 --> 00:36:15,625
[dramatic music]
767
00:36:24,917 --> 00:36:27,375
(male #5)
'Signal coming in
from the war cruiser.'
768
00:36:30,708 --> 00:36:32,500
Put it through.
769
00:36:34,292 --> 00:36:35,750
'This is Captain John Sheridan.'
770
00:36:35,833 --> 00:36:37,500
Babylon 5.
771
00:36:37,583 --> 00:36:39,083
Appreciate the help.
772
00:36:39,167 --> 00:36:43,083
Perhaps to you, this was a
tactical problem to be solved.
773
00:36:43,167 --> 00:36:45,958
For us, this has
been a great sorrow.
774
00:36:46,042 --> 00:36:47,917
The crew of the Trigati
were heroes to many
775
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,417
of our people.
776
00:36:49,500 --> 00:36:52,583
Their death will be mourned.
777
00:36:52,667 --> 00:36:55,000
And your name
will be remembered.
778
00:37:14,708 --> 00:37:15,958
[doorbell chimes]
779
00:37:18,292 --> 00:37:19,208
Yes?
780
00:37:19,292 --> 00:37:20,500
[door opens]
781
00:37:22,208 --> 00:37:24,417
Thought I'd stop by,
see if all your things arrived.
782
00:37:26,500 --> 00:37:29,917
Yes, yes. Everything's
present and accounted for.
783
00:37:33,917 --> 00:37:35,167
Something wrong?
784
00:37:39,625 --> 00:37:40,875
When I got my orders..
785
00:37:42,667 --> 00:37:45,083
I figured this place
was a great opportunity.
786
00:37:48,583 --> 00:37:50,667
And now I wonder if
787
00:37:50,750 --> 00:37:52,417
coming here was irresponsible.
788
00:37:54,083 --> 00:37:56,250
'This whole mess
with the Trigati might not'
789
00:37:56,333 --> 00:37:58,917
have happened
if I hadn't been here.
790
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:03,333
I mean, my presence,
my...actions in the war..
791
00:38:08,792 --> 00:38:11,417
I'm to blame for bringing
all this trouble to Babylon 5.
792
00:38:11,500 --> 00:38:14,333
What was it our friend
in the Grey Council said?
793
00:38:14,417 --> 00:38:16,375
"If there's a doom on this
station, it was you
794
00:38:16,458 --> 00:38:18,542
who brought it here."
795
00:38:18,625 --> 00:38:20,458
'Well, maybe he was right.'
796
00:38:23,792 --> 00:38:25,417
I spoke with the president.
797
00:38:27,125 --> 00:38:29,083
He is the only other
human who knows why
798
00:38:29,167 --> 00:38:31,375
the Minbari surrendered.
799
00:38:31,458 --> 00:38:33,083
And he doesn't believe
this stuff about us
800
00:38:33,167 --> 00:38:35,292
sharing Minbari souls,
and I can't say that
801
00:38:35,375 --> 00:38:36,792
I do either.
802
00:38:37,792 --> 00:38:39,625
But they believe it.
803
00:38:39,708 --> 00:38:41,708
That's why they chose Sinclair
to run this place.
804
00:38:41,792 --> 00:38:44,875
That's why they picked him
to live on their world.
805
00:38:44,958 --> 00:38:47,583
He was their first
human contact.
806
00:38:47,667 --> 00:38:50,042
Him they trust.
807
00:38:50,125 --> 00:38:51,375
But me?
808
00:38:55,042 --> 00:38:56,917
I don't know.
809
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:58,708
'If Sinclair
had been here instead'
810
00:38:58,792 --> 00:39:01,917
maybe they might
not have attacked.
811
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,583
Maybe they would have.
812
00:39:04,667 --> 00:39:06,583
I've learned a while ago that
there's enough guilt in the
813
00:39:06,667 --> 00:39:09,167
world to go around
without grabbing for more.
814
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,333
'Give yourself the benefit
of the doubt.'
815
00:39:15,375 --> 00:39:18,458
Anyway, if you ever want
to talk about this some more..
816
00:39:18,542 --> 00:39:20,375
...you know where to find me.
817
00:39:20,458 --> 00:39:21,500
Anytime.
818
00:39:26,667 --> 00:39:30,625
I told them, Delenn,
as I was ordered.
819
00:39:30,708 --> 00:39:33,958
I only wish I could have
told them the rest.
820
00:39:34,042 --> 00:39:37,000
About the great enemy
that is returning..
821
00:39:37,083 --> 00:39:39,875
...and the prophecy that
the two sides of our spirit
822
00:39:39,958 --> 00:39:43,792
must unite against
the darkness or be destroyed.
823
00:39:43,875 --> 00:39:47,333
They say...it will take
both of our races
824
00:39:47,417 --> 00:39:50,042
to stop the darkness.
825
00:39:50,125 --> 00:39:53,292
I'm told that the Earthers
will discover all this
826
00:39:53,375 --> 00:39:55,917
soon enough on their own.
827
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,750
I hope they are right.
828
00:39:57,833 --> 00:39:59,333
Because if we are wrong..
829
00:40:00,750 --> 00:40:03,125
...no one
will survive our mistake.
830
00:40:05,833 --> 00:40:07,250
'Good night, Delenn.'
831
00:40:25,792 --> 00:40:27,792
[jazz music]
832
00:40:33,917 --> 00:40:36,292

(male #6)
'Well, I'm not saying I mind
looking an entire squadron'
834
00:40:39,583 --> 00:40:42,167
'of Minbari fighters
right in the eye.'
835
00:40:42,250 --> 00:40:43,917
'And I'm not saying
I mind sitting there

00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,167
'with my weapons system turned
off waiting to be splashed.'
837
00:40:47,250 --> 00:40:48,875
I'm just saying
the next time this happens--
838
00:40:48,958 --> 00:40:50,625
(Ivanova)
If there is a next time.
839
00:40:50,708 --> 00:40:53,833
If someone could, oh, I don't
know, maybe explain it to me.
840
00:40:53,917 --> 00:40:56,000
This would definitely
be a good thing for my
841
00:40:56,083 --> 00:40:58,125
limited and admittedly
subjective point of view.
842
00:40:58,208 --> 00:41:01,333
You catch that? He wants
explanations, he wants logic.
843
00:41:01,417 --> 00:41:02,708
Ah, logic is a good thing.
844
00:41:02,792 --> 00:41:03,875
What it has to do
with the Earthforce
845
00:41:03,958 --> 00:41:05,125
is anybody's guess.
846
00:41:05,208 --> 00:41:06,833
Yeah, I suppose.
847
00:41:06,917 --> 00:41:09,792
So, what does everybody think
of our new captain?
848
00:41:09,875 --> 00:41:11,375
Well, I haven't seen
too much of him
849
00:41:11,458 --> 00:41:13,167
but what I have seen, I like.
850
00:41:13,250 --> 00:41:14,917
I think he's gonna be okay.
851
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,833
- Susan?
- I agree.
852
00:41:16,917 --> 00:41:18,833
It's funny, he was supposed
to meet us here for drinks.
853
00:41:18,917 --> 00:41:20,750
I wonder what could be
hanging him up?
854
00:41:20,833 --> 00:41:23,208
Well, the last time I saw him
he said something about
855
00:41:23,292 --> 00:41:26,167
having a half hour
to give some good-luck speech
856
00:41:26,250 --> 00:41:27,792
or it wouldn't count..
857
00:41:27,875 --> 00:41:29,583
When was that?
858
00:41:29,667 --> 00:41:31,500
About 20 minutes ago.
859
00:41:31,583 --> 00:41:33,042
[chuckling]
Oh, no.
860
00:41:33,125 --> 00:41:36,083
Of all the times
he could have picked.
861
00:41:36,167 --> 00:41:38,250
It was an early Earth president
