All language subtitles for Babylon 5 4x14.Moments.of.Transition

[instrumental music]

[beeping]

[sighs]

Oh, what the hell
is it with this place

that I can't get just
one solid night's sleep?

Ahh.

Lights.

Yeah, what is it?

[automated response]
'Incoming message from Mars'

'sent by William Edgars.'

'Do you wish to receive?'

Yeah, put it through.

(Edgars)
'Good morning, Mr. Garibaldi.'

Mr. Edgars, have I ever
mentioned to you

that there is
a seven-hour time difference

between Babylon 5 and Mars?

'Yes, you have.'

'But I am on call
24 hours a day'

'and I expect the same
from everyone who works for me.'

'I should think
the weekly retainer'

'I'm currently paying you'

'entitles me to some
small eccentricities.'

Yeah, yeah.
So what's the job?

'Another package
will be arriving'

'on Babylon 5 later today.'

'You are to ensure
that it goes through customs'

'without incident and send it on
to my people on Io.'

What's inside?

'Nothing dangerous,
explosive, or illegal.'

'That was our agreement.'

So why all the secrecy?

'The packages contain
advanced compounds'

'for my pharmaceutical
research department.'

'I don't want the raw materials
to fall into the wrong hands'

'before I can patent them.'

'I don't trust
the government'

'and I don't
trust the couriers.'

'And I definitely
don't trust my competitors.'

But you trust me.

'For now.'

Alright.

Upload the data
and I'll, uh, I'll get on it.

By the way, uh

you mentioned earlier
that I'd be coming to Mars

for a personal meeting so we
could get to know one another.

Any idea when that's
gonna happen?

'In the fullness of time,
Mr. Garibaldi.'

'Good-bye.'

[beeps]

[beeps]

Sheridan to C and C.

(male #1)
'This is C and C. Go.'

Yeah, any luck
with my transmission to Minbari?

'Uh, negative. We're still
unable to get through.'

'We've heard there's
still fighting'

'going on in the capital
but, uh, so far no details.'

Have you received anything
new from Ambassador Delenn

since she landed?

'Negative, captain.'

Alright, keep trying. Let me
know when you get through.

'I'm sure she's okay, sir.'

I hope so.

[beeps]

[intense music]

[gasps]

[woman groaning]

[distant explosion]

How is it outside?

Much the same
as it is in here.

[explosion]

I should tell you
we just received word

from the leader
of the warrior caste.

His forces have
surrounded the city.

He says if we don't
surrender by tomorrow

for the good of our people,
he will end the war

by destroying the city
and everyone in it.

(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 the year of joy.

(Londo)
It was a new age.

(Franklin)
It was the end of history.

(Susan)
It was the year
everything changed.

(Michael)
The year is 2261.

(John)
The place, "Babylon 5."

[theme music]

[music continues]

(Lyta)
And from 2247

to 2257

I was the commercial
telepath for Xenocorp.

I monitored their negotiations
with representatives

from Centauri Prime, Narn,
and Pak'ma.

So scanning alien minds
doesn't bother you?

Well, it's not comfortable.

I don't think
any of us enjoys it

but you get used to it.

My employer needs to know
if their client is lying

and that client happens to be
an alien and agrees to the scan

you just do it.

I see you interned
with the Psi Corps.

- One year?
- I was a field assistant.

Why'd you change
to commercial work?

It just wasn't right for me.

And there was no room
for advancement.

As a P-5, the best
I could hope for

was doing background
interviews, uh

authorized witness scans.

I like working corporate.

Good.

Well, everything seems
to be in order.

We've been looking
for a freelance telepath

to work with our interstellar
contracts division

and you seem to have
the right experience.

Of course, we'll have to run
the usual background checks

get authorization
from Psi Corps, but--

Well, that might be a problem.

I'm not with the Corps anymore.

How can you operate
on Babylon 5--

Well, I'm operating here under

a-a kind of special dispensation
from Captain Sheridan.

Oh, he could vouch for me.

Well, I'm sure he can

but his word
doesn't exactly

carry a lot of weight
back home right now.

This is very disappointing.

Uh.. But..

You said I had
the right background.

You do, but our insurance
policy requires

that all telepaths
engaged by our firm

be current licensed members
of Psi Corps.

That indemnifies us
against any lawsuits

on the grounds
of mental distress

or invasion of privacy.

I am sure there is some way
we can work this out.

No. If it were up to me,
Miss Alexander

I'd give you the job.

But I'm answerable
to our attorneys

and the board of directors.

They can't afford
the liability.

- But--
- I'm sorry.

Perhaps in the future
when you rejoin Psi Corps

we can discuss this again.

Until then, I'm afraid
there's nothing I can do.

Good day.

[dramatic music]

Neroon. Good.

I'm pleased to see
you made it here alive.

I understand
the religious caste

is most upset with you.

That is to be expected.

They were hoping I would
organize our caste against you.

But I could no sooner move
against the leader of my caste

than I could grow wings
and fly across the moon.

They were always naive.

That has been their failing
from the beginning.

Our people need
leadership, not dogma.

Action, not meditation.

They assumed they were
our equal in all things.

They have now learned
otherwise.

Yes.

I do wonder, though,
about the cost.

The cities can be rebuilt.

As far as those
who've died

I feel for them
as much as you do.

But we all die, Neroon.

Only the timing varies.

They will be reborn

into the next generation
of Minbari.

Perhaps even as warrior caste.

There was no other way.

The loss of a few lives now
will save us many more lives

in the future.

Remember, it was
the religious caste

that got us into the war
with the humans.

Then, after many of our caste
died fighting it

it was they
who just stopped.

If we go to war, it should be
for practical gains.

Not holy wars
or wars of principle.

It's a hard lesson

but they have to learn it.

Delenn speaks
for the religious caste now.

She values life
above all things.

As she sees her caste
dying around her..

...she will have no choice
but to surrender.

Is it wrong to value life?

I thought
that is why we fought.

We fight because
it is our nature.

It is the calling
of our heart.

Life and death are simply
two possible consequences

both equal, neither valued
nor feared above the other.

For a warrior

death is simply the release
from our obligation.

'You should rest.
You've done well, Neroon.'

(male #2)
'Okay, everybody, please have
your identicards out'

and ready for inspection.

Just go on. Move along.
He'll take care.

- Yeah. Keep moving.
- 'Chief, wait!'

- What? What is it?
- I thought you should see this.

Well, back so soon,
Mr. Bester?

Seemed like forever.

Hm, and to what do we owe
the honor of this visit?

Nothing. My business isn't
with you or the command staff.

I'm here strictly as a
representative of the Psi Corps.

Doing what?

Personal matters that are
none of your concern.

I'm not taking anyone with me

or causing you
the slightest difficulty.

As hard as it might be
for you to grasp this

I do have a life that doesn't
involve Babylon 5

Sheridan, Ivanova

or anyone else on the command
staff. I can promise you.

- I won't go near them.
- Well, I don't think--

Mr. Allan, I'd remind you
that this is a free port

at least that's what
Ivanova keeps saying

on this so-called
voice of resistance.

"Everyone's welcome here."

Now, is that true
or is it a lie?

If it's true, as long as
I keep to myself

you've got no reason
to hold me.

I have legitimate
business here.

Either let me get on with it
or stop pretending

that this is anything other
than a military dictatorship.

Yeah, well, I can't make
that decision on my own.

I'll have to check
with the captain.

Please do.
I'll be waiting right here.

Mr. Allan seems to be under
a great deal of stress.

I don't think
he's eating right.

Make sure he gets
enough fiber.

That's always important.

Mind your own business.

"Humanity is my business."

[chuckles]

Marley to Scrooge.

Dickens.

A Christmas carol.

Well, it's good to see they're
continuing the fine tradition

of hiring from the shallow end
of the gene pool.

[dramatic music]

Garibaldi! Michael, wait.

- Michael!
- Oh, I'm sorry, Zack.

I can't stop to chat. I've got
a very busy day ahead of me.

- Where's the package?
- What package?

Some guy handed you
a package back in customs.

Where is it?

I don't know what you're
talking about, Zack.

Oh, by the way,
I like the suit.

You know, it kind of reminds me
of the one I used to have.

Okay, now, that's enough.

There's a rumor going around
that you're working

for William Edgars helping him

get stuff through here without
any questions being asked.

My client list
is confidential.

My policy.. I don't
confirm or deny.

Michael, listen to me.

I checked this Edgars out.

He's one of the 10 richest guys
in the alliance

but there's not one single
picture of him anywhere.

So a guy like him, he's got
to worry about getting hit

by terrorists, kidnappers.
So what?

So what does a guy like him,
want with you?

- What's that supposed to mean?
- I'm just saying--

No, no, I know exactly
what you're saying.

You're saying
that I'm not good enough

to work with the big guys.

Now, look, now, I'm not saying
that I am

and I'm not saying that I ain't,
but, pal, you know what?

You oughta start giving me
a little bit of credit

around here. You know,
I work hard, I'm honest.

Maybe you don't appreciate it,
but others do.

And getting packages
past customs..

...is that honest, Michael?

Yeah, it's about
as honest and lawful

as breaking away
from earth alliance

taking over
military equipment

starting our own
little empire out here.

You know what, Zack,
if you got a problem

why don't you take
a peek in the mirror?

Don't bother me, okay?

[intense music]

You sent for me, Delenn?

Yes.

I have spoken
with the others.

We have reached the decision.

Tell the warrior caste..

...that we are prepared
to surrender

at a time and place
of their choosing.

- But--
- Tell them, Lennier.

Just tell them.

And news has reached us that
a squadron of starfury pilots

sent to conduct raids
against Proxima 3

'in hopes of forcing
them to accept'

'President Clark's
martial law decree'

'have defected, joining
the proxima resistance.'

'This makes the fourth
major defection'

'in the last two weeks.'

'Refugees from sectors
400 through 600'

'are being taken in
by the medical colonies'

'at Beta Durani and the
MacArthur midrange colony.'

'Ships wishing to defect
should broadcast'

'their intention to the 9,000..'

I said I don't want
to talk to you.

I heard you.

Came through loud and clear.

Extremely loud
and clear, actually.

Amazing. All those channels
and nothing worth watching.

If you've got something to say,
say it and get out.

That's a very poor way
to treat someone

who's come all this way
just to do you a favor.

Please.

I know you've been
looking for work.

A couple of the corporations
you approached called us

about a reference.

Naturally we couldn't
provide one since

you've gone rogue, and..

...the Corps frowns
on that sort of thing.

I imagine you must be getting
desperate for money by now

or you wouldn't be doing this.

- I'm fine.
- Of course you are.

It's just a little
one-sided, isn't it?

I mean, Sheridan
and the others.

They have this whole
support mechanism.

They draw their salary
from the docking fees

paid by alien ships.

Their meals and clothing
are all free.

But what about
poor Lyta Alexander?

How does she earn a living?

I mean, being a freedom fighter,
a force for good, it's..

...it's a wonderful thing.

You get to make
your own hours

looks good on a resume..

...but the pay..

...sucks.

So, I'm prepared
to make a deal with you.

- I won't go back.
- I'm not asking you to.

This is what I was thinking.

I can slide your name
off the rogue list.

We have a category
for deep cover agents.

Only a few of us
have access to it.

I can add your name
without too much trouble.

You'd be Corps
in name only.

You can do as you want.

You'd be able to work again,
make a living.

In exchange for what?

Well, you'd have to wear
the symbol, of course

and the gloves.

They're more than just
part of the uniform.

They're part of the discipline.
It's who we are.

And the usual 10 percent of your
fees would go back to the Corps.

And?

And..

Well, there is just
no delicate way to say this.

I want your body.

What? Are you out of your mind?

[laughing]
That's a very funny question
to ask a telepath..

...since we spend so much of our
time in other people's minds.

I don't want it now, Lyta.

Just when you're not
using it anymore.

After your passing.

This is a power of attorney.

It gives me the right
to your body after your death.

Now, in case you're worried

that I might do something
to speed that process up

clause 14 stipulates that

this contract shall
be null and void

if you die from anything
other than natural causes.

So you see...I'm certainly
taking a risk.

This isn't exactly
a safe neighborhood.

Why?

Because, without your permission

Sheridan would never
give me custody.

Lyta..

...we both know
you've been altered.

I don't know how, but I think
I know by whom.

The Vorlons found some way
to enhance your abilities

didn't they?

'That's something
we can't deal with.'

A P-5 is a P-5 forever.

We can train them to make
the most of their talent

but that's all.

The Vorlons gave you more
than just enhanced abilities.

They've given every telepath

a chance to be more
than what they are.

If that secret
dies with you..

...it's a waste.

Surely even you can see that.

I'm offering you a chance
to put your life back together

on your own terms.

It's not a bad deal.

[dramatic music]

I'd sooner put a bullet
in my brain.

I'll be here a few days

just in case
you change your mind.

(Neroon)
'The religious caste
has agreed to surrender.'

I thought we would meet
down on the planet.

Oh?

The grey council
floated among the stars

cut off from our people.

We need to show that we intend
to do things differently.

I chose the temple of Varenni
for their surrender.

Why there?

That is where disputes
between the castes

were settled in the years
before Valen and the council

where new leaders were selected
during times of war.

It will show that we are
returning to our traditions.

Also it is equipped
to send a record

of their surrender
throughout Minbari.

That will help
to discourage any dissension.

I agree. It will make
for a powerful symbol.

When does the surrender
take place?

As soon as we arrive.

There is one last thing.

Once we've accepted
their surrender

what shall we do about Delenn?

I know how she thinks.

She'll go along
with this for now

but in time, she will start
working against us.

She is a threat
to our authority.

Once we have restored peace

she will return to Babylon 5.

I believe we can guarantee
that her ship

will never reach
its destination.

[doorbell beeps]

Yes?

- Hi.
- Zack, hi. Come on in.

I was just having some dinner,
if you care to join me.

I can't. I got to be in
five places at the same time.

Smells great, though.

Besides, I got business here.

'I figured, better I should
do it than some stranger.'

Station resources wants you
to move to smaller quarters.

What?

Why?

I-I just got this
place fixed up.

Until last month,
this place was paid for

by the Vorlon government.

Now they're gone, and you don't
have any regular income.

Now, station needs every credit
we can get our hands on

to bring in supplies
by alternate routes.

After everything I've done
you're just gonna kick me out.

No.

They're not kicking you out.

It's just a move
to F-size quarters.

Now, I know the ones
they're talking about.

They're nice.

- Intimate.
- Small!

Hm.

Alright.

I guess I can work
this out, somehow.

I'm sorry I bit your head off.

You're right, I'd rather
hear it from you

than somebody else.

Good. Good, I'm-I'm glad.

Because, uh

I've got a favor to ask you.

'It might even help you out
a little in return.'

'I'd like to hire you
for a job.'

I want you to scan
Mr. Garibaldi for me.

I assume this is
with his permission.

- Well, not exactly.
- Zack!

Look, ever since he got back
he has not been acting the same

and I need to know
if he's alright upstairs.

I can't do that.

It goes against everything
I've been taught.

It's a complete
invasion of privacy.

Can't you at least poke around
a little bit by accident?

No!

I wish I could help,
but I-I can't.

Maybe if it were
somebody else..

...I don't know,
I-I'd at least think about it.

But Garibaldi

he's the first person I met

when I got here five years ago.

Oh, I need the money,
but I can't do this.

Please don't ask me.

Okay.

I guess I understand.

Look, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to upset you.

But I had to at least try.

Let me get this straight,
you wanna hire me

to find your dog?

That's right.
And my cat too.

Aha. Yeah, well..

Mr. Adams, this isn't the kind
of thing that I--

I'll pay time and a half.

Turn down. Doggies, kitties..

Hey, they all kind of make
the world go round, don't they?

Anything else I, uh,
should know about them?

They're planning
to take over the galaxy.

Yeah.

Yeah, they always find me.

Hey, I was wondering
when you were gonna be

getting around
to coming to see me.

What can I do for you?

Uh, I need a job.

Short, sweet, to the point.

I wish more of my clients
were like you.

Please, sit down.

I'm almost out of money
and they're about

to kick me
out of my quarters.

I can't keep taking handouts
from the others

but without the Psi Corps
to back me up

people I wanna work for
won't hire me.

And the only people
who might hire me, I--

- You don't trust.
- Exactly.

I don't have anywhere else
left to turn.

[sighs]
Lyta, the way I work,
I don't use telepaths.

I...I don't trust them.
I never have.

I know.

I just hoped that by now,
I'd proven myself enough--

However, however

if I hire you,
I annoy Bester.

I like the thought of that.

What's your empathic range?

Well, officially..

...20-25 meters.

Unofficially.

Further. Much.

Interesting.

See, I just started
working for this client

who has me bringing him
stuff in on the sly.

Now, he doesn't wanna get
noticed and neither do I.

But the problem is when
you don't have a lookout

or someone to watch your back
you get noticed.

What I need is someone who can
see around the corners

and, well...you're
the next best thing.

Alright, look, it's gonna have
to be a small retainer

till we see how
things work out

and it's coming out
of what I get

so it's not gonna be much.

(Bester)
'Well, well, Mr. Garibaldi.'

I heard you'd retired,
but I didn't believe it.

Not retired. Just went
independent, that's all.

Why? You looking to hire
somebody to find out

what happened
to your personality?

Always quick with the
Mr. Garibaldi.

Sadly, you're no longer
worth my attention.

Good day.

Ms. Alexander.

Hey, what are you..

What?

- He scanned you.
- Are you sure?

I'm positive.

[dramatic music]

Hey, I told you
to stay out of my head!

I don't know what
you're talking about.

What are you after? Why are you
doing this to me? Talk to me!

Come on! Let me go!
He scanned me!

Come on.

[grunting]

[indistinct chatter]

Hi.

[intense music]

This is a terrible day, Delenn.

I never thought
I'd see it come.

The day is not yet
over, Lennier.

But we have already
agreed to the surrender.

I know.

I want you to have this,
Lennier.

Keep this with you
until we are done.

All the instructions
are inside.

Instructions?

It's time.

Delenn, of the family Mir.

I greet you in the name
of the warrior caste.

Shakiri, of the family Kort.

I greet you in the name
of the religious caste.

I regret that we have been
brought together here

in this sacred place

by such unfortunate events.

But this day will mark a new
beginning for our people.

The struggle between us

was terrible, was hard..

...was inevitable.

But now it is over.

Do you speak for the whole
of the religious caste, Delenn?

I do.

And what message do you bring
for us today?

The religious caste surrenders.

The religious caste surrenders.

You have all heard it.

The struggle between us is over.

Now we can begin to rebuild
our great cities

until they are even
greater than before.

Now, we step out into
the light of a new day.

'Now, we rebuild
the grey council'

into a warrior's council.

(Delenn)
'Excuse me?'

Yes?

I said that we surrendered.

I did not say that we gave up
our sovereign rights

to form a new government.

Dukhat said that
in every battle

one side or the other
must surrender eventually.

It is the natural order
of things.

There is no dishonor
in that, no shame.

We recognize the superior forces
of the warrior caste.

We have, after all, spent
several centuries arming you

helping you learn
the art of combat.

What threat are we
against that?

Then you acknowledge.
We are stronger!

Stronger, yes.
But wiser?

For a thousand years

we've guided our people
through wisdom, not arms.

Will we set that
aside so quickly?

You who are watching here
and across Minbari

you know this place.

You know its history.

This is where we chose
our leaders before Valen.

This is where many of us served,
and many of us died.

The ancients understood
that in war

it is always the young
and the powerless

who are sent off to fight.

Sent by leaders and warriors
and generals

who are not themselves
engaged in the battle

who do not bleed
on the front lines..

...who do not die alone on
the cold and friendless night.

But here, in this place,
that changed.

What are you playing at?

If the warrior caste has set
aside the wisdom of Valen

if they wish to return
to the old ways

then they must honor the laws
set down by the ancients.

The leaders
of each warring caste

would step into the circle.

The starfire wheel would open

and its fire would
begin to consume them.

Those who did not
deserve to rule

who would not sacrifice
themselves as they asked

others to do on their behalf

would escape the fire.

The sacrifice of the one
who remained

who believed so much
in his caste

that he would lay down
his life for them.

That would determine which caste
would be dominant among us.

This is a violation of--

It is the tradition
of our people!

The warrior caste
began the war.

The religious caste
has ended it.

And now we say

we are willing to endure
the starfire wheel

for the good of our people.

If the warrior caste
will not do the same

then you are not
fit to lead.

[rumbling]

[dramatic music]

Valen said

"Will you
follow me into fire?"

Will you?

Delenn, don't do this.

What's done is done.
I cannot leave the circle now.

You have my instructions.
Carry them out.

Shakiri. You do not follow.

Does the warrior caste
concede leadership?

This proves nothing.

Our entire world
is watching, Shakiri.

If you believe so much
in your caste

step into the circle
and die for them.

Or is it easier for you
to kill my caste?

Easier to send others
out to die for you?

This is madness! I refuse--

You said that a warrior
does not fear death, Shakiri.

Neroon? What are you--

You said that "Death was only

one of two consequences

"neither valued nor feared

"above the other.

Death is merely a release
from our obligations."

Why then
are you afraid, Shakiri?

Have you put your own importance
above our people?

Do you take their side?

I speak for my people.
Who do you speak for?

And what are you
willing to do?

They are waiting
for your answer.

[music continues]

[groaning]

Delenn..

...we can walk out together

share the power.

No one will
speak against us.

No!

There are other ways.

Then you should
have explored them

before you tore
our people apart!

No!

No-o!

[groaning]

I do not understand.

When we were aboard your ship,
when she proposed this

Delenn told me she would leave
the circle after he did.

'Why does she not come out?'

(Lennier)
'She's making her point'

for all our people.

For the world.

No-o!

I was born..

...warrior caste.

But I see now

the calling of my heart..

is religious.

The war is over!

Listen to her!

Listen!

[explosion]

[instrumental music]

Ugh. That's enough.

Oh, what the frag?

I am so tired of this damn..
Argh! Lights! What?

[automated response]
'Message for you
from William Ed--'

Put him through!

(Edgars on phone)
'Good morning, Mr. Garibaldi.'

Mr. Edgars,
you gotta stop--

'I understand you just
hired a telepath.'

Yeah?

'And you're paying her'

'out of the retainer I pay you?'

Yeah, that-that's right. How--

'How is not important.'

'You're to fire her,
effective immediately.'

What? Why?

'I do not trust telepaths.'

'I will not have
them near me'

'or anyone who works
for me at this level.'

But this-this serum
that you've been working on

it's supposed to help telepaths.

If you don't wanna help them,
then why the hell--

'I may develop a serum
to help lab rats.'

'That does not mean I want to
employ them, even second-hand.'

'Mr. Garibaldi, I am paying you
a lot of money.'

'If you cannot meet the terms
of our employment'

'I can always
find someone else.'

'I have nothing
against her personally'

'but as long as you
are working for me'

'she cannot work for you.'

'Tell me which way
you want it.'

Personal log, Bester, Al.

August 3rd, 2261.

By provoking Mr. Garibaldi

I've put him
even further at odds

with his former associates

and further on the path
I need him to follow.

What I came here
to get, I got..

...even her.

Guess you could
call it a bank shot.

Yes. I've had a nice day.

I still think you should wait a
while longer before doing this.

You're not yet
fully healed.

The other castes are waiting
to see what I do.

The longer we wait, the more
questioning may turn to fear.

Is everything ready?

Yes, as soon
as you enter

the record of this will be
relayed all across Minbari.

Then let us get this over with.

Today, we rebuild

what was broken.

Today, we restore
the grey council.

I summon the nine

as Valen called
them together long ago.

Dhaliri, of the
religious caste.

Mazetsch, of the warrior caste.

Burlee, of the religious caste.

Shakat, of the warrior caste.

In the past,
it has been our tradition

to seek balance.

We have called three
from each caste

worker, warrior, religious.

But now, that changes.

I call forth, Durlan

Katz

Zakat

Nur, and Varenn

of the worker caste.

You had forgotten the
worker caste, hadn't you?

'When our two sides fight'

'they are the ones
caught in the middle'

'forgotten until
it is their time to serve'

to build, and to die.

They build the temples
we pray in

the ships you fight in.

They look to us
to guide their hands.

But prayers are fleeting
and wars forgotten.

What is built endures.

They do not wish
to conquer, or convert.

Only to build the future.

And now, they will
have that chance.

The religious caste
and the warrior caste

will advise and counsel.

We will serve,
as is proper.

Religion and war must act
in the service of the people

not the other way around.

And this place..

...this place is reserved
in memory of Neroon..

...until the day it is taken
by the one who is to come.

You are

the heart, the hands

and the voice of our people.

Judge wisely and well.

[doorbell beeps]

Just a second.

Come.

- Sorry, I was in--
- The bastards!

Those cold-hearted rat bastards.

When I heard about it,
I thought it was just a rumor.

I mean, we get
so many of them.

Oh, God, John, I just want
to grab them and just..

This is it. This is it!

What? What is it?

What?

Here, this was recorded
by a transport

bringing relief supplies
to Proxima 3.

As soon as this destroyer
came through the gate

the other ships identified
themselves as commercial liners.

They were carrying the sick
and the wounded

from where President Clark's
been hitting them.

Women, children, the-the sick,
the infirm..

Two thousand civilians per ship,
crammed in like sardines.

(John)
'My God.'

Ten thousand civilians
whose only crime

was trying to get out
of the damn killing zone.

I am putting this on VOR
as soon as I calm down.

This madness has
gone on long enough.

I don't care
if we're ready yet.

I don't care if we're
outnumbered or outgunned.

I don't care what
ISN says about us.

This stops and it stops now.

Now if Earth wants
to declare war on us

then it is time that
we took the war to Clark.

You tell the others..

...starting right now.

We fight back
and we fight back hard.

I thought you were looking
for some other way

than firing at our own ships.

They were following orders.

Any crew that executes
an order like that

is guilty of war crimes.

And they deserve
whatever they get.

Now, we're riding in, Susan.

Anybody who wants to
defect and join us, fine.

If they get in our way,
we'll knock them down.

If they kill one of our ships,
we'll kill three of theirs

and we keep going.

We never slow down
and we won't stop.

Now, we're going after
the colonies, then Mars..

...then Earth.

And God help anybody
who gets in our way.
