All language subtitles for Babylon 5 4x04.Falling.Toward.Apotheosis

We're preempting
your normal BabCom service

to bring you another update
in the continuing crisis.

Two more deep-range
planetary colonies

have been eliminated
by Vorlon forces.

'This footage was taken
as the Vorlon fleet'

'closed in on Ventari 3.'

'The ship eclipsing
the local star is presumed'

'to be their main weapon,
a planet killer.'

Below is a list
of nearby colonies

and League Worlds
which are accepting

refugees from Ventari 3.

We will continue to update this
list as the situation changes.

If you are from the
Ventari system, you are asked

not to return until authorized.

The local jump gate
has been destroyed

and hyper space traffic
is creating a hazard

at the jump intersection.

Contact your ambassadors for
information on family members

who may have escaped before
the colony was destroyed.

We're taking in refugees and
escaping ships as fast as we can

but our resources
are almost maxed out.

We will repeat this bulletin
every 20 standard minutes

until we receive
new information.

Once again, please remain calm.

Right now,
our greatest enemy is fear.

[indistinct chatter]

(female #1)
'Please, I need to get through.'

No, I have to get to my husband.

I have to tell him
something because..

[screams]

Can somebody help me, please?

Can..

[intense music]

- You okay?
- Yeah, I think so.

My God, that was him, wasn't it?

Yeah, that was him.

They, they say
he came back from the dead.

Is it true? Did he?

Lady, I don't know what's true
around here anymore.

Come on, I'll help you through.

- You heard?
- I heard.

- They need to believe.
- Not in me.

- You can't save them all.
- I can try.

- You'll fail.
- We'll see.

..remain calm.
Once again, please remain calm.

Right now,
our greatest enemy is fear.

[intense music]

(Lennier)
It was the year of fire.

(Zack)
The year of destruction.

(G'Kar)
The year we took back
what was ours.

(Lyta)
It was the year of rebirth.

(Vir)
The year of great sadness.

(Marcus)
The year of pain.

(Delenn)
And a year of joy.

(Mollari)
It was a new age.

(Stephen)
It was the end of history.

(Ivanova)
It was the year
everything changed.

(Garibaldi)
The year is 2261, the place..

(Sheridan)
Babylon 5.

[theme music]

[music continues]

[instrumental music]

(Garibaldi)
'Yeah, come in.'

- Hey, chief. How you feeling?
- Fine.

Ready to get back to work
as soon as they decide

to get off their butts
and give the word.

Yeah, that's what I came
to talk to you about.

Just got a call from Ivanova,
and she said, uh..

That's a securecam record.

Thought the doc told you
to take it easy for a while?

Well, I gotta do something
or I'm gonna go stir-crazy.

You, um, keeping an eye
on the captain?

No, on him.

'The guy worries me,
everywhere the captain goes'

'he's there,
right at his heals watching.'

How do we know
he's not pulling something?

Come on.
The captain vouched for him.

Said he saved his life.

I thought he died on Z'Ha'Dum.

Yeah, well, after that part.

Look, I don't pretend
to understand it.

I'm just glad he came
back in one piece.

- You sure you're okay, chief?
- Yes, Zack, I'm fine. Okay?

Why, huh, why does
everybody keep asking me

the same question
every five minutes?

We're just concerned,
that's all.

You've been through a lot and
you say you still don't remember

what happened
after you disappeared.

What do you mean,
I say I still don't remember?

I don't remember.

- You saying I'm lying about it?
- No, chief.

I'm not saying that and
nobody's questioning your word.

Then how come nobody's
grilling the captain, huh?

He breezes in here,
says he's back from the dead

feeling much better,
thank you very much

and everybody buys it.
"Boy, howdy, that's great.

Yes, sir.
Good to have you back."

Meanwhile,
I get the third degree

and "Are you okay, chief?"
every time I sneeze.

Does this make any sense to you?

- You finished?
- For now.

Good, because I got
a message from Ivanova.

Doc wants to take
one more look at you.

After that,
you can come back to work.

Good. About time.

- Anything else?
- No, that's it.

- Uh, Zack?
- Yeah?

Uh, before I left

the captain and I were
on pretty good terms.

We got to where we could
talk to each other.

Since we both got back

he hasn't said two words to me.

It's like he's avoiding me. Why?

Well, assuming
you're not overreacting..

...I don't know.

But I'm sure
he's got his reasons.

[intense music]

[sighs]

Majesty?

You sent for me?

I was just looking at the sky.

Tell me, what do you see,
Mollari?

The stars, Majesty.
Nothing more.

Then you're not
looking hard enough.

Vorlons are out there, Londo.

They've gone mad.

Attacking any world,
any base, any colony

where my associates
have influence.

Is this true, Majesty?
I've heard nothing.

Yes. Well, we kept
the information to ourselves.

No reason
for anyone else to know.

After the last war,
my associates hid

many of their ships
on distant worlds.

The Vorlons wanna make sure
that doesn't happen again.

There are over a hundred
of those ships here.

I assume
they will be leaving now.

- I'm afraid not.
- The Vorlons--

Will never attack
Centauri Prime.

Small colonies,
deep-range planets, sure.

But to destroy a world
as big as this? No.

- They don't have the will.
- Perhaps.

But we cannot take the chance
that you might be wrong.

The ships must leave, Majesty.

(Morden)
The ships stay.

As our liaison here,
you will arrange

for a blockade of ships
around Centauri Prime.

The Vorlons don't want
lots of civilian casualties.

If they see that
you're ready to oppose them

they'll just keep on going.

- Majesty.
- Do as he says, Mollari.

We must be courteous
to our guests.

Thank you. Now,
if you'll excuse me, Majesty.

Goodnight, Londo.

Majesty, this is intolerable.

To send our people out
to defend their ships?

You get so exercised
at times like this, Mollari.

I wish I had a picture
of your face right now.

- This is serious.
- Of course it is.

And I have no intention
of sending our ships out there.

- You don't?
- Of course not.

Walk with me.

Majesty, you don't
know how relieved I am

to hear you say that,
I was hoping you would see

this situation for what it is.

Yes. Yes, I've come to
the same conclusion you have.

It was all so obvious
once I set my mind to it

which is why I've decided
I like you, Mollari.

You think the same way I do.

Thank you, Majesty, but now--

In fact, I've decided
to show you something

I've shown only
a few people before.

Yes.

This way.

This way.

Sit, Mollari, sit.

I call them my Shadow Cabinet.

I think you can
appreciate the irony.

'They certainly can't.'

Sit. Mollari, sit.

'We were discussing
this situation'

earlier this evening
and this one had the most..

No, no.

This one.

Minister Dugarri.

You remember him, don't you?
Always coughing.

Most distressing,
but we finally cured it.

Had the most wonderful idea.

We won't be sending any of our
ships out to fight the Vorlons.

Not one.

Then you will tell Mr. Morden's
associates to leave?

Of course not.

I promised them they could stay

in exchange for
elevating me to Godhood.

No, they will remain
on the Island of Celini.

But when the Vorlons come

if they are destroying
whole planets

to get at these Shadows--

Yes.

You understand exactly.

Snicks?

You and I, Mollari.

'We will turn Centauri Prime'

'into an inauguration pyre'

to commemorate
my ascension into Godhood.

The fire of our world
will light my way.

'Yes. You see it, don't you?'

If I become a God

how will our world
survive without me?

I cannot just abandon it.
That would be cruel.

And any who followed me
would obviously be inferior.

Best to put them
out of their misery.

I will take it
all with me in spirit.

Don't send the ships.

Let it burn, Mollari.

Let it all end in fire.

[instrumental music]

(Stephen)
Cough.

Take a deep breath.

And exhale.

Quack like a duck.

Sorry.
A little med-school humor.

So how's it look?
Can I get back to work?

Well, so far,
everything seems to be fine.

There's one more
thing I wanna check, though.

Oh, now, come on, man.
I really hate that.

Don't worry. It's not that.

Alright, this is gonna
get a little hot.

It's gonna sting a bit,
but I, uh, have to get

underneath the epidermis.

Yeah, well, like I said.
This is almost through here.

- What's this for?
- Well..

Your fighter disappeared
while we were

surrounded by Shadow vessels.

Now if you were
taken by one of them

and they wanted to program
you for using their ship

there'd be considerable
scarring back there.

Is that what you think happened?

No, no, not necessarily.

But the captain asked me
to check all possibilities.

You're clean.

So, what do you think happened?

I've been thinking
about it a lot.

My guess is that
when they pulled out

I got caught in the backwash

before they jumped
to hyperspace.

That would explain
how my ship ended up

12 light years from here.

After that...I don't know.

Well, with any luck, uh

it should come back
to you eventually, huh?

Yeah.

In the meantime,
as far as I can tell

you're ready to go back to work.

[intense music]

Yeah.

Uh, thanks, doc.

Gotta go.

It's good to have you back.

Any results yet on my tests?

This is a Command
and Control update.

The safe haven for refugees
on Tizino Prime

is no longer responding.

We believe they may have
fallen to the Vorlon advance

but we can't be sure for another

I guess, 10, 12, hours.

Before they attack, the Vorlons
blanket all frequencies

so no reports can get out.

There have been some changes
in the list of refugee stations.

We'll have that information
for you shortly.

We've lost three of them.

All the governments
in Sector 57

have declared a state
of interplanetary emergency.

[instrumental music]

'Reports coming
in from survivors indicate'

mass destruction
on a planetary scale.

We continue to need
medical ships, transports

anything that can fly.

We're in special need
of atmosphere-capable shuttles

to evacuate survivors
from the ground.

We'll rebroadcast this message
in 20 standard minutes.

[sighs]
You heard?

- Yes, the shuttles--
- No, not the shuttles.

Her voice. She's afraid.

I've known Ivanova almost
ten years, on and off

I've...never heard
her afraid before.

Well, this is the first
time I've seen you

alone since I got back.

Everything has been so busy.
There has hardly been time.

I thought I'd lost you.

I thought it was my fault.

I knew Anna might be alive.
I said nothing, you went away.

The only thing that might be
as terrible as losing you

would be if you came back
and could not forgive me

'and I lost you again.'

You did what
you thought was right.

That's no excuse.

I'm sorry, John.

I fell at Z'Ha'Dum, Delenn.

I saw my own death
and accepted it.

I looked up and saw Anna.
Wha-what was left of Anna.

At that moment..

...I said goodbye.

The goodbye I could
never say before.

I let it all go.

I only held on to one thing.

The image of your sweet face.

If I never came back..

...that was enough.

But you gave me
a reason to come back.

Could I love
that much and not forgive?

[instrumental music]

We're up to our ears in ships,
and not just warships.

Every refugee transport
for ten light years

in any direction is coming here.

I know. Med lab's jammed.

We got wounded
backed up into the hallways

and more coming in
on every shuttle.

In a few days,
the wounded are gonna be

the least of your concerns.

(Ivanova)
'How so?'

It's the only place
where somebody's races

can find their own kind.

So they're all gonna come here.

Especially since
somebody decided Sheridan

is a Second Coming
or some damn thing.

Well, they think
he can do something.

Have you seen
the same reports I have?

There's not a damn thing
we can do to stop

that fleet from
doing anything it wants to.

When they decide
it's our turn, that's it.

Meanwhile,
you're gonna be swamped.

This place can handle
a quarter-million people.

We're already past that.

'What're you gonna do when ten,
twenty thousand people'

'at a time start showing up at
our front door and wanting in?'

What happens when it turns
ugly when they start

fighting each other
for the right to get in here?

You think you got
a security problem now?

Wait another 24 hours.
This'll seem like a picnic.

- What about Epsilon 3?
- 'What about it?'

(Stephen)
'We have a whole planet
underneath us'

that's never been
touched by the Shadows.

So, in theory, the Vorlons
should leave it alone.

We can start shuttling
people down there right now.

I could set up
a portable Med lab.

There's gotta be
supplies down there.

Since we've never seen anyone

bringin' in food or equipment.

I agree!

Do it.

Well, where's your new best pal?

Busy.

We don't have a lot of time,
so I'll get right to the point.

Michael, we have
a security problem.

The new Vorlon ambassador.

As long as he's here,
watching and reporting back

we can't do what's necessary
to stop these attacks.

Which is?

I can't tell you.

So you're saying
you can't trust me?

[sighs]
No, that is not
what I am saying.

We don't know how telepathic
the Vorlons are.

We know they can
project thoughts

but how well they can read
is an open question.

Now, if I tell you and he can
pick up on your thoughts..

...then we've had it.

That's why I've kept you out
of the strategy sessions.

Okay, what do you want me to do?

I want the Vorlon gone.

Fine. I'll just, uh, go up
to him and ask him to leave.

- That'll work.
- Michael.

It's alright. That's exactly
what I want you to do.

Look, he's got to know
by now that we're planning

to move against him, so let's
give him what he expects.

Then we can do
what we have to do.

Which is the part
you can't tell me about.

[exhales sharply]
Do you want me to take
a full tactical team?

No, just a few people
you can trust.

That's not enough.
He'll wipe the floor with us.

I know.

Swell.

Okay, uh..

Look, if you want me
to fall on my sword for you

that's what I'm here for.

I'll let you know
what happens

assuming he doesn't frag me
just for kicks.

Is it my imagination
or is Mr. Garibaldi

crankier than usual?

Yeah, well, he's been
through a lot lately.

He just needs a little time
to settle in, that's all.

[insturmental music]

We're ready.

Has Lorien explained
everything to you?

I don't know if I can do this,
but I will try.

(Lorien)
'Remember, Sheridan.'

The Shadows were
able to kill Kosh

because they're alike,
both First Ones.

For you, this will
be much more difficult.

You've never seen
a Vorlon enraged.

They're more powerful
than you can imagine.

Uh, captain, what exactly
are we talking about here?

Millions of people's lives
are at stake here, Stephen.

If the ambassador stays,
billions more will die.

So we're going to
take out the Vorlon..

...any way we can.

[intense music]

This is Babylon 5
Command and Control.

We have another update
on the Vorlon attack fleet.

The Dura 7 outpost has fallen.

I repeat, Dura 7 has fallen.

All medical ships in the area
are being asked to help

with the evacuation.

[intense music]

Ambassador.

Ambassador, this is Security.
We need to talk to you.

I got a message
from the captain.

Because of your government's
recent attacks

on the League
of Non-Aligned Worlds

we're asking you
to leave at once.

Alright.

That request
just became an order.

You'll come with us.
We'll escort you to your ship.

No.

[zapping]

Fire!

[zapping]

[crackling]

[grunting]
Out! Out! Everybody out!

Go, go, go! Get out of here!

Everybody out! Go!

Move!

[coughing]

- You okay?
- Never better.

Man, we couldn't even touch him.

I know, well, if they wanted him
to think we weren't a threat

that ought to do it, huh?

I just hope the captain
knows what he's doing.

Alright, come on.

[coughing]

[automated message]
'Incoming message
for you, captain.'

'It's Ambassador Mollari.'

Londo?

Probably calling collect.
Did he say what he wants?

[automated message]
'Negative.'

Alright, put him through.

Good day, captain.

Ambassador,
what can I do for you?

I need a favor.
Some information.

There is a rumor that
the Vorlons have gone mad

attacking every colony,
every planet

involved with the Shadows?

It's no rumor.

We've been tracking their
attacks for the past two days.

Then could you tell me how far
they are from Centauri Prime?

Don't your people
have that information?

Yes, but it is not exactly
being widely distributed.

And so I ask you
how long until they reach here?

The way they've been going now..

...I'd say seven days,
eight tops.

Seven days.

And can I assume
that you are already

in the process
of doing something about this?

Yes, but we won't have anything

put into place
before they get here.

Now, we have an idea.

But there's no guarantee
we can pull it off.

No, of course not.
There never is.

Well, thank you, captain.

I owe you a favor.

Good luck to you. To all of us.

I heard what happened.
I came to warn you.

Sheridan and the others
are gonna move against you.

It is done.

They are irrelevant.

I know, I know
they can't harm you

but I was thinking it can't hurt
to have all the information

you can about what's going on.

To protect yourself
and the cause.

- How?
- I told you.

I wasn't here
when Ambassador Kosh died.

I didn't have
any of his essence with me.

I thought he was gone.

But for a while,
I've suspected that

someone else here
had a piece of him.

I think I know who it is.

But I can't draw Kosh
out of him. He won't let me.

- A human?
- Yes.

- Imprisons one of us?
- Yes.

Intolerable.

If there is still
a piece of him there

you can draw it out of him.

Use what it knows
and take it back

to Vorlon when this is all over.

I cared about Kosh.

I'd like to know
he finally made it home.

Show me.

But the guards.

They will not
threaten us again.

Show me.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

It's this way.

We have to hurry.

I think he might leave soon.

Your thoughts are troubled.

I'm worried about Kosh,
that's all.

After everything
we've been through

I'd hate to lose
the last of him now, and..

What are you hiding?

Nothing.

Open your thoughts to me.

- We don't have time for this.
- Open!

[whirring]

[intense music]

Lyta, run!

Now!

[crackling]

Come on!

Second Team!

[zapping]

[intense music]

[crackling]

[shrieking]

[shrieking]

[shrieking]

[zapping]

[shrieking]

Ow!

[indistinct shouting]

We need more current down here.
Give me everything you got!

I'm re-routing the power coils.

- What the hell is that?
- Control, this is Bay 13.

The Vorlon ship
is breaking free.

- It's like it's alive!
- Get your people out of there!

Clear the Vorlon ship to leave
before it tears the place apart.

[shrieking]

[intense music]

Delenn!

John?

[whizzing]

John!

Now!

[intense music]

[shreiking]

(Delenn)
'It's Kosh.'

Kosh was inside him?

Yes, the last of Kosh.

And some of him and some of me.

[music continues]

[explosion]

Is everyone okay?

Captain, is everything
alright? Captain?

- John!
- No, wait.

His life force
must be replenished.

Is this how you brought him
back from Z'Ha'Dum?

I give of myself
to replenish him.

For a little while.

How long?

Long enough.

[groaning]

[instrumental music]

I'm not used to being summoned
on such short notice.

I hope you have good reason
for this intrusion.

I do, I was thinking about

Your Majesty's coming Godhood

which is possibly
the single greatest event

in the history
of the Centauri Republic.

A great thing.

Well, as I say, I was
thinking about all of this

and wishing that others
could know you

as our people know you.

If only they could see
your greatness as we do.

Why should we care
what other people think?

Well, after the Vorlons have
eliminated Centauri Prime

which we will be
most happy to fall.

You were correct
about that, Majesty.

Who will be left
to sing your praises?

Who will know you
for who you are?

A God is a God, yes

but if no one knows his name

visits his temples,
sings his songs..

Once we are gone,
who will remember

the living God Cartagia?

I find these thoughts of yours
most disturbing.

As I did, Majesty.

And what do you propose?

That you leave Centauri Prime

before the Vorlons arrive?

That you might better
remember me at a distance?

No, no, of course not.

[laughing]

Y-your Majesty's humor, as
always, is quite exceptional.

No, my place is at your side.

However, I was
thinking about G'Kar.

The Narn? Why?

He'll be dead in a few days,
I don't think

he'll be remembering
very much after that.

True.

And he deserves
to die for his crimes

against our people,
and die he will.

But what if we conducted

his trial and execution

on his Home World
instead of here?

The whole world would see

Your Majesty's wisdom.

See with their own eyes,
the brilliant center

of the Centauri Republic.

'Can you imagine
how it would move them?'

Once they see you

sit in judgment over G'Kar

your name will spread
like wildfire among them.

And from there
to a hundred planets beyond.

Then you can accept
your imminent Godhood

secure that your name
will be spoken

and remembered throughout
the known galaxy.

I have occasionally
considered a trip to Narn.

My advisers counseled against
it for security reasons.

Majesty, can you harm a God?

It would be a great crime

for one who will shortly
walk among the stars

who will hold entire worlds
in the palm of his hand

to be mistakenly
perceived as being afraid

of a few barbarians.

Hmm.

You have raised
a good point, Mollari.

Once again, I am in your debt.

'I am told the Vorlons
will arrive in seven days.'

This is just enough time.

Three days there,
three days back

one day for trial and execution.

Half a day.
His guilt is obvious.

But we must allow
them proper time

to see me for what I am.

Of course, Majesty.

You are, as always, quite right.

And I will go
with you to personally

end the life of Citizen G'Kar.

[insturmental music]

That, that was a hell
of a lot of ships.

And more on the way.

The captain wants
the biggest fleet in history

if we're gonna end this war.

The way things
are shaping up out there

it looks like
he just might get it.

And then what?

And then what, what?

Well, if we lose,
there is no "Then what"

and if we win, what next?
We're still renegades.

I don't think there's anybody
left on this side

of the Galactic Core
we haven't already honked off.

We can't go home.

Sometimes I don't know
which scares me more

winning or losing.

God, I thought I was depressing.

John, Ivanova told me
that you wanted to see me.

Yes, there's something..

...I didn't want
to tell you at first

but when I heard
what you asked Lorien..

Well, you have a right to know.

To know what?

He was gravely
wounded at Z'Ha'Dum.

He was dying.

He was dead.

'I did all I could to help him,
but I cannot create life.'

'Only the universe can do that.'

I can extend, enhance.

There is no magic,
nothing spiritual about it

only the application of energies

healing and rebuilding cells.

I had Franklin
do a complete medscan.

He found things
in my neurosystem.

Some kind of biochemical energy

repairing and sustaining me.

'H-h-he's never seen
anything like it.'

(Lorien)
'I did the best I could.'

I gave him back
a portion of his life

but only a portion.

How long?

In human terms, barring injury

and illness, perhaps 20 years.

'But no more than that.'

Twenty years.

(Sheridan)
I'll be in my early 60s by then.

It's a, it's a good run, Delenn.

You told me that
humans live to be

a hundred years old, even older.

- You can't--
- Twenty years.

No more.

And then, one day

he will simply..

...stop.

Can we have a moment?

It's alright, Delenn.

I went into this
with my eyes open.

I knew if I went to Z'Ha'Dum

there'd be a price.

Seems there's always a price.

I'm okay with this.

But I'm not okay with this.

I told you I was afraid
that I would get you back..

...only to lose you.

And that's what this is.

Twenty years.

It's a long time.

It's 20 more years
than I would've had.

A-and at least..

At least I can spend most
of them with you.

That's why
I wanted to see you alone.

Here it is.
Man, I thought I'd lost it.

I, uh..

I wanted you to have this.

I got it down in the Zocalo.

It's not what
I had exactly in mind, but, uh..

It's temporary
until I can get you

a real engagement ring.

Uh, it-it's an Earth custom.

You see,
you give someone you love..

...an engagement ring as kind of

a down payment for another ring.

The kind that..

...you exchange
when you get married.

I don't know when
we'll be able to get around

to that part of it.

We may not survive
the next two weeks.

But I wanted you to
have this and for you

to know that
whatever time I have left..

...I wanna spend it with you.

[instrumental music]

Oh, Majesty, there you are.

I have spoken
to our people on Narn.

They are anxiously
awaiting our arrival.

Good. Good.

I was just making sure
nothing went wrong at this end.

Trouble with being infallible
is you have to put up

with everyone else
making mistakes.

I was just thinking, I-I don't
like the way he's looking at me.

I'm trying to decide
what to do about it.

Would you care
to make a suggestion?

Um..

Oh, uh, no, I'm sure
whatever Your Majesty decides

will be appropriate.

I should go and pack.

No, I don't care at all
for the way he looks at me.

Pluck out his eye.

(male #1)
'Which one?'

I don't know.
Doesn't matter.

That one.
