Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:03,667 --> 00:00:06,167
[instrumental music]
2
00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:35,750
Delenn, are you alright?
3
00:00:38,167 --> 00:00:41,708
You should sleep.
It'll be morning soon.
4
00:00:41,792 --> 00:00:44,375
You'll need all your strength
for what's ahead.
5
00:00:44,458 --> 00:00:46,917
[music continues]
6
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,542
[sighs]
7
00:01:14,417 --> 00:01:16,500
[music continues]
8
00:01:34,083 --> 00:01:35,625
It's, uh..
9
00:01:37,250 --> 00:01:39,167
It's all yours.
10
00:01:48,833 --> 00:01:50,583
[sighs]
11
00:02:09,375 --> 00:02:12,958
(Sheridan)
There comes a moment
in everyone's life
12
00:02:13,042 --> 00:02:17,042
when you have to do something
you'd rather not do.
13
00:02:17,125 --> 00:02:21,208
When you know something
you'd rather not know.
14
00:02:22,250 --> 00:02:24,333
This is one such moment.
15
00:02:29,458 --> 00:02:31,875
I understand there is
a council meeting in progress.
16
00:02:31,958 --> 00:02:34,417
That's correct, but I can't
let you in, ambassador.
17
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:35,875
It's a closed session.
18
00:02:35,958 --> 00:02:38,167
I would remind you that
I am on the advisory board
19
00:02:38,250 --> 00:02:39,375
for the Alliance.
20
00:02:39,458 --> 00:02:41,583
I have every right
to be in there.
21
00:02:41,667 --> 00:02:44,458
Well, that's not
my decision to make.
22
00:02:44,542 --> 00:02:47,375
When they're ready to see you,
they'll send for you.
23
00:02:48,667 --> 00:02:51,083
Every right
in the world to be in there!
24
00:02:51,167 --> 00:02:53,958
- 'Londo.'
- Are they selling me out, hmm?
25
00:02:54,042 --> 00:02:56,750
Selling out my people,
Mr. Allan, without giving me
26
00:02:56,833 --> 00:03:00,000
a chance to defend myself
to rebut the evidence?
27
00:03:00,083 --> 00:03:03,750
This is wrong.
This is unfair.
28
00:03:03,833 --> 00:03:05,917
And I should be in there.
29
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,375
Londo, don't do this.
You'll only make things worse.
30
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:16,708
Worse, Mr. Allan?
31
00:03:16,792 --> 00:03:19,333
Worse than what?
32
00:03:19,417 --> 00:03:23,583
(Delenn)
So it is with great difficulty
and tremendous personal pain
33
00:03:23,667 --> 00:03:25,750
that we stand before you now.
34
00:03:25,833 --> 00:03:28,667
For the last six months,
all of you have suffered
35
00:03:28,750 --> 00:03:31,583
devastating attacks
on your shipping lines.
36
00:03:31,667 --> 00:03:34,625
Lives have been lost,
ships and cargo destroyed
37
00:03:34,708 --> 00:03:37,875
at a cost of hundreds
of millions of credits.
38
00:03:37,958 --> 00:03:41,083
The cost in pain to those
who lost family and friends
39
00:03:41,167 --> 00:03:43,958
in those attacks
can never be measured.
40
00:03:44,042 --> 00:03:46,167
Shortly after
these attacks started
41
00:03:46,250 --> 00:03:51,083
we began an investigation
to find out who was responsible.
42
00:03:51,167 --> 00:03:55,250
Now in exchange for your
patience and cooperation
43
00:03:55,333 --> 00:03:57,292
we gave you our word
44
00:03:57,375 --> 00:03:59,458
that as soon as we found
conclusive evidence
45
00:03:59,542 --> 00:04:03,333
we would bring it before you
and pursue it fully
46
00:04:03,417 --> 00:04:05,292
no matter where it led.
47
00:04:05,375 --> 00:04:07,792
In a moment,
we will show you proof
48
00:04:07,875 --> 00:04:11,458
that the Centauri Republic is
responsible for these attacks.
49
00:04:11,542 --> 00:04:13,375
[indistinct murmuring]
50
00:04:14,833 --> 00:04:19,417
We promised that the Alliance
would support any action
51
00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:21,875
that you,
the member worlds, decided
52
00:04:21,958 --> 00:04:24,125
should be taken
against those responsible.
53
00:04:25,417 --> 00:04:27,917
Now that we know
that it is the Centauri..
54
00:04:29,542 --> 00:04:31,667
...that promise..
55
00:04:31,750 --> 00:04:34,500
...weighs heavily on us.
56
00:04:36,208 --> 00:04:40,375
But we have an obligation
to honor that promise.
57
00:04:40,458 --> 00:04:42,208
And we will..
58
00:04:43,625 --> 00:04:45,833
...no matter the cost.
59
00:04:54,458 --> 00:04:56,875
- There is a hole in your mind.
- What do you want?
60
00:04:56,958 --> 00:04:59,333
(G'Kar)
No one here is exactly
what he appears.
61
00:04:59,417 --> 00:05:01,208
(Sinclair)
Nothing's the same anymore.
62
00:05:01,292 --> 00:05:03,375
(Hague)
Commander Sinclair
is being reassigned.
63
00:05:03,458 --> 00:05:05,458
(Londo)
Why don't you eliminate
the entire Narn homeworld?
64
00:05:05,542 --> 00:05:08,042
(Elric)
I see a great hand
reaching out of a star.
65
00:05:08,125 --> 00:05:09,500
(Sebastian)
Who are you?
66
00:05:09,583 --> 00:05:10,667
(female #1)
President Clark has signed
67
00:05:10,750 --> 00:05:12,708
a decree today declaring..
68
00:05:12,792 --> 00:05:14,542
(Sheridan)
These orders have forced us
to declare independence.
69
00:05:14,625 --> 00:05:16,208
I've seen people
get off their encounter
70
00:05:16,292 --> 00:05:17,792
suited butts and do something.
71
00:05:17,875 --> 00:05:19,500
(Zathras)
You're the one who was.
72
00:05:19,583 --> 00:05:21,917
(Kosh)
If you go to Z'Ha'Dum,
you will die.
73
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,417
(Lorein)
Why are you here?
74
00:05:23,500 --> 00:05:25,292
Do you have anything
worth living for?
75
00:05:25,375 --> 00:05:27,458
(Delenn)
I think of my beautiful city
in flames.
76
00:05:27,542 --> 00:05:28,917
(Sheridan)
Giants in the playground.
77
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,083
Now get the hell
out of our galaxy.
78
00:05:30,167 --> 00:05:31,167
We are here to place
79
00:05:31,250 --> 00:05:32,917
President Clark under arrest.
80
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,208
[theme music]
81
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,500
[music continues]
82
00:06:23,708 --> 00:06:26,167
[instrumental music]
83
00:06:36,125 --> 00:06:40,167
(Delenn)
We will begin our testimonies
with Dr. Stephen Franklin.
84
00:06:40,250 --> 00:06:42,542
All of the high-energy weapons
used by the members
85
00:06:42,625 --> 00:06:44,792
of the Alliance share
certain characteristics
86
00:06:44,875 --> 00:06:46,667
due to the physics involved.
87
00:06:46,750 --> 00:06:50,417
But they also have
certain differences as well.
88
00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:52,708
For instance, uh,
most of your fleets
89
00:06:52,792 --> 00:06:54,833
are built at shipyards
based on your homeworlds
90
00:06:54,917 --> 00:06:57,125
for reasons of security.
91
00:06:57,208 --> 00:06:59,833
Now these shipyards use
locally produced material
92
00:06:59,917 --> 00:07:01,125
to build a focusing lens
93
00:07:01,208 --> 00:07:03,833
the central part
of any energy weapon.
94
00:07:03,917 --> 00:07:06,167
The unique characteristics
of this material
95
00:07:06,250 --> 00:07:09,500
can subtly alter the spectrum
of light used in the beams
96
00:07:09,583 --> 00:07:12,833
making them individual
to each world.
97
00:07:12,917 --> 00:07:15,833
Can you tell us a little bit
about how you identify
98
00:07:15,917 --> 00:07:17,833
these unique differences?
99
00:07:17,917 --> 00:07:20,625
These energy fingerprints?
100
00:07:20,708 --> 00:07:23,625
Well, we arranged to have
one or two random bodies
101
00:07:23,708 --> 00:07:25,500
sent to us after each attack.
102
00:07:25,583 --> 00:07:27,917
'A complete autopsy
was conducted on those bodies'
103
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,250
'in order to determine
what kind of weapons were used.'
104
00:07:31,333 --> 00:07:34,250
Can you explain the process?
105
00:07:34,333 --> 00:07:36,542
Excessive light
bleaches out the skin
106
00:07:36,625 --> 00:07:38,667
where it comes
in contact with it.
107
00:07:38,750 --> 00:07:40,208
It does the same
to the rods and cones
108
00:07:40,292 --> 00:07:41,625
in the back of the eyes
109
00:07:41,708 --> 00:07:45,875
used to sense
light, dark, colors.
110
00:07:45,958 --> 00:07:48,708
It takes a moment for these
rods and cones to recover
111
00:07:48,792 --> 00:07:50,625
from these bright colors.
112
00:07:50,708 --> 00:07:53,208
That's why you'll see a,
uh, green dot
113
00:07:53,292 --> 00:07:56,000
when you blink
after looking at a red light
114
00:07:56,083 --> 00:08:00,042
or a, uh, yellow dot after
looking at a bright blue object.
115
00:08:00,125 --> 00:08:03,042
It's always the exact opposite
of the original spectrum
116
00:08:03,125 --> 00:08:05,250
and it is
surprisingly precise.
117
00:08:06,292 --> 00:08:07,917
Because the subject dies
within seconds
118
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,125
of being hit by
a high-energy weapon
119
00:08:10,208 --> 00:08:12,458
the rods and cones
never recover.
120
00:08:12,542 --> 00:08:15,292
By analyzing their condition and
the state of the bleached skin
121
00:08:15,375 --> 00:08:17,417
we're able to determine
the frequency of the spectrum
122
00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:18,875
used in the weapons.
123
00:08:18,958 --> 00:08:20,708
And is that spectrum
124
00:08:20,792 --> 00:08:23,208
consistent
with Centauri weaponry?
125
00:08:23,292 --> 00:08:24,750
It is.
126
00:08:24,833 --> 00:08:26,917
In addition, the Centauri
use their weapons
127
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,917
almost like projectiles.
128
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,750
Exploding rather than slicing
or disrupting their targets.
129
00:08:32,833 --> 00:08:35,417
All the bodies
had explosive tissue burns
130
00:08:35,500 --> 00:08:38,250
consistent to Centauri
high-energy weapons.
131
00:08:40,333 --> 00:08:43,292
(Delenn)
Our next segment
is from Mr. Michael Garibaldi
132
00:08:43,375 --> 00:08:46,625
head of intelligence
for the Alliance.
133
00:08:46,708 --> 00:08:48,417
(Garibaldi)
As Dr. Franklin
mentioned earlier
134
00:08:48,500 --> 00:08:50,417
Centauri weapons
are designed to be used
135
00:08:50,500 --> 00:08:52,583
in an explosive
rather than a slicing mode.
136
00:08:52,667 --> 00:08:54,333
Analysis of the debris confirms
137
00:08:54,417 --> 00:08:56,542
that the energy weapons
were used in that way.
138
00:08:56,625 --> 00:08:59,167
In addition, the tactics used
to ambush the cargo ships
139
00:08:59,250 --> 00:09:01,542
are consistent with
Centauri training maneuvers.
140
00:09:01,625 --> 00:09:05,125
That last part
can be considered subjective.
141
00:09:05,208 --> 00:09:07,208
Do you have anything
more objective
142
00:09:07,292 --> 00:09:09,083
that points to the Centauri?
143
00:09:09,167 --> 00:09:10,417
I do.
144
00:09:11,708 --> 00:09:13,208
This came from one
of several individuals
145
00:09:13,292 --> 00:09:15,583
on the Drazi homeworld
who ambushed me
146
00:09:15,667 --> 00:09:19,000
and killed the only surviving
witness to one of these attacks.
147
00:09:19,083 --> 00:09:21,292
It has been identified
as belonging to the uniform
148
00:09:21,375 --> 00:09:23,542
of the Centauri palace guards.
149
00:09:23,625 --> 00:09:26,833
I must also mention that
my ambush was a direct result
150
00:09:26,917 --> 00:09:28,625
of a leak of information
about my mission
151
00:09:28,708 --> 00:09:30,208
to the Drazi homeworld.
152
00:09:30,292 --> 00:09:32,000
This came shortly
after Ambassador Mollari
153
00:09:32,083 --> 00:09:34,958
was informed of our plans
at a regular briefing session.
154
00:09:35,042 --> 00:09:37,875
After my return, we decided
to keep Mollari out of the loop
155
00:09:37,958 --> 00:09:41,000
and since then, there have
been no further leaks.
156
00:09:41,083 --> 00:09:43,292
Is it true
that in the last three months
157
00:09:43,375 --> 00:09:46,333
only one Centauri vessel
has been attacked?
158
00:09:46,417 --> 00:09:47,333
That's correct.
159
00:09:47,417 --> 00:09:48,833
It was an aging cargo ship
160
00:09:48,917 --> 00:09:51,042
that was due to be scrapped
and sold for parts.
161
00:09:51,125 --> 00:09:53,042
We found no cargo
of any significance
162
00:09:53,125 --> 00:09:54,833
and we did not find any bodies.
163
00:09:54,917 --> 00:09:56,292
We can only conclude from that
164
00:09:56,375 --> 00:09:58,208
that it was put there
to throw us off the track
165
00:09:58,292 --> 00:10:00,167
and to make us think
that there was an attack
166
00:10:00,250 --> 00:10:02,375
against the Centauri
shipping lines.
167
00:10:02,458 --> 00:10:04,292
[doorbell chimes]
168
00:10:04,375 --> 00:10:05,875
Open.
169
00:10:08,583 --> 00:10:11,167
- Hello, G'Kar.
- Mollari.
170
00:10:11,250 --> 00:10:14,333
Have you come here to drop off
your evidence as well?
171
00:10:14,417 --> 00:10:17,833
On your way to tell them
all the things you saw and heard
172
00:10:17,917 --> 00:10:21,667
while you were pretending to be
my bodyguard on Centauri Prime?
173
00:10:21,750 --> 00:10:23,667
I was not pretending.
174
00:10:23,750 --> 00:10:26,667
I went to Centauri Prime
as your guest
175
00:10:26,750 --> 00:10:29,583
your protector,
perhaps even your conscience
176
00:10:29,667 --> 00:10:32,208
but not as anyone's
eyes and ears.
177
00:10:32,292 --> 00:10:36,625
So no, I will not be testifying
before the council.
178
00:10:38,083 --> 00:10:40,250
But I was there, Mollari.
179
00:10:40,333 --> 00:10:42,458
I saw you concerned
about the increase
180
00:10:42,542 --> 00:10:44,375
in preparations for war.
181
00:10:44,458 --> 00:10:46,833
Concerned that the information
about the location
182
00:10:46,917 --> 00:10:48,792
and activities of your warships
183
00:10:48,875 --> 00:10:51,125
once freely available to you
and other ministers
184
00:10:51,208 --> 00:10:53,208
was suddenly classified.
185
00:10:53,292 --> 00:10:55,583
You knew something was going on.
186
00:10:55,667 --> 00:11:01,292
But I believe you never knew
the shape of it until now.
187
00:11:01,375 --> 00:11:04,042
Don't tell me
what you think I know.
188
00:11:06,042 --> 00:11:07,625
Still, uh
189
00:11:07,708 --> 00:11:11,542
I suppose I should thank you
for respecting my privacy.
190
00:11:13,958 --> 00:11:16,500
So if you're not here
to drop off your evidence
191
00:11:16,583 --> 00:11:18,708
why are you here?
192
00:11:18,792 --> 00:11:20,500
To tell you..
193
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,750
...that they are ready
to see you now.
194
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,000
I have had the opportunity
to review the evidence
195
00:11:34,083 --> 00:11:35,833
that has been brought
before you.
196
00:11:37,083 --> 00:11:41,542
At first, I was offended,
angry.
197
00:11:41,625 --> 00:11:45,500
And then, I did the only thing
that I could do.
198
00:11:45,583 --> 00:11:47,875
[indistinct murmuring]
199
00:11:49,167 --> 00:11:51,125
This is a joke.
200
00:11:53,875 --> 00:11:55,208
'Cruel, yes.'
201
00:11:55,292 --> 00:11:57,542
Insulting and destructive,
of course
202
00:11:57,625 --> 00:12:00,542
but a joke nonetheless.
203
00:12:00,625 --> 00:12:02,625
Circumstantial evidence.
204
00:12:02,708 --> 00:12:05,292
Half truths. Distortions.
205
00:12:05,375 --> 00:12:07,125
And enough unfounded assumptions
206
00:12:07,208 --> 00:12:10,083
to-to wrap around
the station three times
207
00:12:10,167 --> 00:12:12,292
and still leave room
for a knot.
208
00:12:12,375 --> 00:12:15,625
You cannot deny that the weapons
are of Centauri design.
209
00:12:15,708 --> 00:12:18,958
Yes, there are similarities,
but for years
210
00:12:19,042 --> 00:12:21,333
we have supplied weapons
to other worlds
211
00:12:21,417 --> 00:12:24,125
including some of you.
212
00:12:24,208 --> 00:12:25,667
Not only that.
213
00:12:25,750 --> 00:12:27,125
After we left Narn
214
00:12:27,208 --> 00:12:29,750
many of our weapons and ships
were left behind.
215
00:12:29,833 --> 00:12:32,708
The Narn government
could use these resources
216
00:12:32,792 --> 00:12:36,000
to throw blame
on my government.
217
00:12:36,083 --> 00:12:39,333
You could take this information
and twist it
218
00:12:39,417 --> 00:12:41,958
to indict any one of you.
219
00:12:42,042 --> 00:12:43,500
There is not one shred
220
00:12:43,583 --> 00:12:47,125
of conclusive proof
anywhere here.
221
00:12:47,208 --> 00:12:50,375
Then you refute the charges
made against your government.
222
00:12:50,458 --> 00:12:54,500
As far as I am concerned,
there is nothing to refute.
223
00:12:54,583 --> 00:12:57,500
And I have nothing more
to say to any of you.
224
00:12:57,583 --> 00:13:01,708
Ambassador, there's one last
piece of evidence to consider.
225
00:13:01,792 --> 00:13:04,167
We wanted you to see it
at the same time we showed it
226
00:13:04,250 --> 00:13:06,583
to the rest of the council.
227
00:13:06,667 --> 00:13:07,875
Lennier.
228
00:13:10,167 --> 00:13:12,833
As part of
the continuing investigation
229
00:13:12,917 --> 00:13:14,542
I was assigned to a White Star
230
00:13:14,625 --> 00:13:17,542
patrolling the border
of Centauri space.
231
00:13:17,625 --> 00:13:19,417
During my assignment,
I intercepted
232
00:13:19,500 --> 00:13:22,542
several coded signals
of Centauri origin.
233
00:13:22,625 --> 00:13:23,875
I took out a fighter
234
00:13:23,958 --> 00:13:26,375
and I tracked the signal
to its location.
235
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,333
This is what I found.
236
00:13:40,792 --> 00:13:42,542
The identification marks
on those warships
237
00:13:42,625 --> 00:13:44,542
do not correspond
with any of our records
238
00:13:44,625 --> 00:13:46,542
currently on file.
239
00:13:46,625 --> 00:13:48,667
My fighter was attached
to one of those warships
240
00:13:48,750 --> 00:13:50,750
when it jumped.
241
00:13:50,833 --> 00:13:52,208
This is what I encountered
242
00:13:52,292 --> 00:13:54,417
when we jumped back
into normal space.
243
00:13:55,875 --> 00:13:57,250
[gasps]
244
00:13:58,917 --> 00:14:01,417
[instrumental music]
245
00:14:11,708 --> 00:14:14,750
(man on radio)
'We surrender!
Please, we've done nothing!'
246
00:14:14,833 --> 00:14:16,417
'Take whatever you want,
but please'
247
00:14:16,500 --> 00:14:18,083
'we've got children on board.'
248
00:14:18,167 --> 00:14:19,292
'Don't you understand?'
249
00:14:19,375 --> 00:14:21,833
'We've got children on board!
We--'
250
00:14:34,333 --> 00:14:37,500
Any reactions, ambassador?
251
00:14:43,917 --> 00:14:45,292
No.
252
00:14:45,375 --> 00:14:47,708
Not until I speak
with my government.
253
00:14:47,792 --> 00:14:50,125
Well, when you do..
254
00:14:50,208 --> 00:14:52,875
...relay the following message
to them.
255
00:14:56,042 --> 00:14:57,625
The Centauri government
256
00:14:57,708 --> 00:15:00,917
has lashed out at its fellow
members of the Alliance
257
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,042
in acts
of unjustified aggression.
258
00:15:05,042 --> 00:15:08,708
No, not aggression, terrorism.
259
00:15:08,792 --> 00:15:11,375
And there's only
one proper response.
260
00:15:11,458 --> 00:15:13,125
Effective immediately
261
00:15:13,208 --> 00:15:14,958
we will isolate
the Centauri Republic
262
00:15:15,042 --> 00:15:17,917
from the Company
of Alliance Worlds.
263
00:15:18,042 --> 00:15:21,500
(Delenn)
'Goods and supplies heading
to or from Centauri Prime'
264
00:15:21,583 --> 00:15:24,542
will be blocked at every
jumpgate and transfer point
265
00:15:24,625 --> 00:15:25,875
in the Alliance.
266
00:15:25,958 --> 00:15:28,500
Any Centauri vessel
entering or leaving
267
00:15:28,583 --> 00:15:32,000
will be stopped, boarded
and turned back.
268
00:15:32,083 --> 00:15:35,458
If they resist, they will
be fired upon and seized.
269
00:15:36,625 --> 00:15:38,042
A blockade?
270
00:15:38,125 --> 00:15:41,083
Which will continue until
such time as your government
271
00:15:41,167 --> 00:15:45,167
acknowledges and apologizes
for these attacks..
272
00:15:45,250 --> 00:15:47,208
...and provides reparations.
273
00:15:48,208 --> 00:15:49,917
As of right now
274
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,375
the Centauri Republic
stands alone.
275
00:15:59,083 --> 00:16:01,000
What is taking them so long?
276
00:16:01,083 --> 00:16:03,375
They said they would get back
to me hours ago.
277
00:16:03,458 --> 00:16:04,958
Did you get them copies
of the evidence?
278
00:16:05,042 --> 00:16:06,292
Yes.
279
00:16:06,375 --> 00:16:08,208
And they understood there was
another council meeting
280
00:16:08,292 --> 00:16:10,167
in less than an hour, hmm?
281
00:16:10,250 --> 00:16:11,125
Yes.
282
00:16:11,208 --> 00:16:12,917
Then what is taking them
so long?
283
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,042
I don't know.
284
00:16:14,125 --> 00:16:15,417
Maybe they didn't say anything
285
00:16:15,500 --> 00:16:17,542
because they know
the allegations are true.
286
00:16:17,625 --> 00:16:19,292
What are you talking about?
287
00:16:19,375 --> 00:16:20,750
If something like this
were going on
288
00:16:20,833 --> 00:16:22,417
I would know about it.
289
00:16:22,500 --> 00:16:24,208
Besides in 500 years
290
00:16:24,292 --> 00:16:26,375
the Centauri Republic
has never attacked
291
00:16:26,458 --> 00:16:27,875
a civilian target.
292
00:16:27,958 --> 00:16:29,958
Yes, but there were the Narns.
293
00:16:30,042 --> 00:16:32,542
(Londo)
'Those were wars
of aggression and occupation.'
294
00:16:32,625 --> 00:16:34,375
In war, these things happen.
295
00:16:34,458 --> 00:16:35,917
We are not at war.
296
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,292
We do not strike first
297
00:16:37,375 --> 00:16:40,208
and we do not blow up
cargo transports
298
00:16:40,292 --> 00:16:42,833
like-like pirates or barbarians.
299
00:16:42,917 --> 00:16:45,333
How do you explain
the records then?
300
00:16:45,417 --> 00:16:47,000
Prime Minister Mollari.
301
00:16:47,083 --> 00:16:49,667
Ah, minister, good.
Did you see the regent?
302
00:16:49,750 --> 00:16:50,625
I did.
303
00:16:50,708 --> 00:16:51,792
He has finished going over
304
00:16:51,875 --> 00:16:53,667
the material you sent along.
305
00:16:53,750 --> 00:16:57,750
He pronounced it the most
clever fraud he'd ever seen.
306
00:16:57,833 --> 00:16:59,125
'I must concur.'
307
00:16:59,208 --> 00:17:02,917
We believe there are
two possible explanations.
308
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,083
One, the material
is a deliberate forgery.
309
00:17:06,167 --> 00:17:08,417
No, no, no.
I can't accept that.
310
00:17:08,500 --> 00:17:09,958
I know Lennier.
311
00:17:10,042 --> 00:17:11,250
If he says he was there
312
00:17:11,333 --> 00:17:14,250
that he saw these things,
then he saw them.
313
00:17:14,333 --> 00:17:15,917
Which leaves option number two.
314
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,042
That the entire incident
was staged for his benefit
315
00:17:19,125 --> 00:17:20,583
'using materials and ships'
316
00:17:20,667 --> 00:17:22,750
'we left behind
on the Narn homeworld.'
317
00:17:22,833 --> 00:17:25,333
We checked the inventory
of resources and--
318
00:17:25,417 --> 00:17:27,458
But there are so many ships
in the records.
319
00:17:27,542 --> 00:17:30,417
The-the Narns couldn't have
that many of our ships.
320
00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:33,083
It's a very simple matter
to take a cast off hulls
321
00:17:33,167 --> 00:17:35,125
of ships damaged during the war
322
00:17:35,208 --> 00:17:37,042
and retrofit them
onto Narn vessels.
323
00:17:37,125 --> 00:17:40,125
Minister, the attack we saw
could not have been faked.
324
00:17:40,208 --> 00:17:42,125
We agree,
it was a genuine attack
325
00:17:42,208 --> 00:17:44,417
on a civilian transport
326
00:17:44,500 --> 00:17:45,917
but the Narns
have always been willing
327
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,458
to sacrifice innocent lives..
328
00:17:48,542 --> 00:17:50,500
...as long as we get
the blame for it.
329
00:17:50,583 --> 00:17:51,958
'Clearly, they sent a signal'
330
00:17:52,042 --> 00:17:54,292
'they knew would lure
Ranger Lennier'
331
00:17:54,375 --> 00:17:56,583
to a predetermined location
332
00:17:56,667 --> 00:17:59,042
then picked him up and simply
ferried him from place to place
333
00:17:59,125 --> 00:18:01,667
showing him
what they wanted him to see
334
00:18:01,750 --> 00:18:04,792
knowing he would bring it back
to Babylon 5.
335
00:18:04,875 --> 00:18:07,042
Because his character's
above reproach
336
00:18:07,125 --> 00:18:10,292
he is the perfect vessel
for their misinformation.
337
00:18:10,375 --> 00:18:13,792
Assuming you are correct,
what do we tell the council?
338
00:18:13,875 --> 00:18:15,500
They are waiting for a reply.
339
00:18:15,583 --> 00:18:18,583
The regent has drafted
a response.
340
00:18:22,792 --> 00:18:24,833
Item one.
341
00:18:24,917 --> 00:18:28,083
The Centauri Republic
categorically denies
342
00:18:28,167 --> 00:18:30,667
any involvement
with these attacks.
343
00:18:30,750 --> 00:18:33,167
We are the victims.
344
00:18:33,250 --> 00:18:36,042
Victims of an elaborate hoax.
345
00:18:36,125 --> 00:18:38,583
And we will identify
those responsible
346
00:18:38,667 --> 00:18:41,208
when more information
is at hand.
347
00:18:42,417 --> 00:18:44,250
Item two.
348
00:18:44,333 --> 00:18:47,208
The Centauri Republic
will not be threatened
349
00:18:47,292 --> 00:18:50,125
or intimidated by anyone..
350
00:18:50,208 --> 00:18:54,250
...including those we might
once have considered friends.
351
00:18:54,333 --> 00:18:57,750
As a result,
effective immediately..
352
00:18:57,833 --> 00:19:00,083
...we are withdrawing
from the Alliance.
353
00:19:00,167 --> 00:19:02,667
[indistinct chatter]
354
00:19:04,583 --> 00:19:07,000
And finally, item three.
355
00:19:07,083 --> 00:19:10,583
The Republic does not recognize
the legality of this blockade
356
00:19:10,667 --> 00:19:13,208
and thus will not
be limited by it.
357
00:19:13,292 --> 00:19:15,083
From now on
358
00:19:15,167 --> 00:19:18,833
all Centauri transports
entering into Alliance space
359
00:19:18,917 --> 00:19:22,375
will be accompanied
by one of our finest warships.
360
00:19:22,458 --> 00:19:26,042
Anyone firing on
one of our ships..
361
00:19:26,125 --> 00:19:29,417
...will be considered
committing an act of war..
362
00:19:30,583 --> 00:19:34,208
...and we will
respond appropriately.
363
00:19:35,833 --> 00:19:38,292
- Ambassador--
- That is all I came to say.
364
00:19:38,375 --> 00:19:41,417
As for myself, I will be
taking the first transport
365
00:19:41,500 --> 00:19:44,042
back to Centauri Prime
for further consultations
366
00:19:44,125 --> 00:19:46,792
with my government
concerning the situation here.
367
00:19:46,875 --> 00:19:48,333
Londo.
368
00:19:49,250 --> 00:19:50,667
The council is satisfied
369
00:19:50,750 --> 00:19:53,208
that your government
is behind these attacks.
370
00:19:53,292 --> 00:19:55,250
You cannot just walk
away from this one.
371
00:19:55,333 --> 00:19:57,750
Strange. I thought
I was doing just that.
372
00:19:57,833 --> 00:20:00,917
If you leave Babylon 5, you
won't be allowed back on again
373
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,000
until this crisis is resolved.
374
00:20:04,042 --> 00:20:06,625
Perhaps not even then.
375
00:20:08,833 --> 00:20:11,042
Well, then if that
is what you want..
376
00:20:12,750 --> 00:20:15,000
...I guess
I won't be coming back.
377
00:20:15,083 --> 00:20:17,250
'Meanwhile,
remember what I said.'
378
00:20:17,333 --> 00:20:21,333
Any attack on our ships,
any attack..
379
00:20:21,417 --> 00:20:24,000
...will be considered
an act of war.
380
00:20:24,083 --> 00:20:25,292
Vir.
381
00:20:25,375 --> 00:20:27,458
[indistinct chatter]
382
00:20:32,792 --> 00:20:34,583
Book me on the first ship
out of here.
383
00:20:34,667 --> 00:20:36,458
I have to get back home
as soon as possible.
384
00:20:36,542 --> 00:20:37,792
Londo, maybe you shouldn't.
385
00:20:37,875 --> 00:20:39,167
You heard what he said.
They're serious.
386
00:20:39,250 --> 00:20:41,333
Of course, they're serious
and so are we.
387
00:20:41,417 --> 00:20:43,708
And when we show them
we are not responsible
388
00:20:43,792 --> 00:20:45,667
they will back down,
even apologize
389
00:20:45,750 --> 00:20:49,250
but I can't do that here.
I have to go home.
390
00:20:49,333 --> 00:20:50,875
Alright, but I'm gonna
go with you.
391
00:20:50,958 --> 00:20:54,625
No. Vir, it is important
that you stay here.
392
00:20:54,708 --> 00:20:56,333
We need someone close at hand
393
00:20:56,417 --> 00:20:58,667
to, to show them the truth
when it comes along.
394
00:20:58,750 --> 00:21:01,417
To represent the Centauri
while I am locked out.
395
00:21:01,500 --> 00:21:04,250
Don't worry.
I won't be gone long.
396
00:21:04,333 --> 00:21:06,625
Just get me on that ship.
397
00:21:16,083 --> 00:21:17,792
[doorbell chimes]
398
00:21:17,875 --> 00:21:19,167
Enter.
399
00:21:23,833 --> 00:21:27,042
G'Kar, Lennier told me
you wanted to speak with me.
400
00:21:28,208 --> 00:21:29,542
Please.
401
00:21:32,750 --> 00:21:36,542
I wanted you to know that
when Mollari leaves Babylon 5
402
00:21:36,625 --> 00:21:40,208
I will be going with him
to the Centauri homeworld.
403
00:21:40,292 --> 00:21:42,167
What? Why?
404
00:21:42,250 --> 00:21:43,833
You said he needed a bodyguard
405
00:21:43,917 --> 00:21:46,875
the last time he went home
and you were right.
406
00:21:46,958 --> 00:21:49,042
If our assumption is correct
407
00:21:49,125 --> 00:21:50,375
and he truly does not know
408
00:21:50,458 --> 00:21:52,708
that his government
is behind these attacks
409
00:21:52,792 --> 00:21:55,000
if they have deliberately
kept him out of it--
410
00:21:55,083 --> 00:21:56,542
They have. They must have.
411
00:21:56,625 --> 00:21:58,375
Londo would never approve
of random attacks
412
00:21:58,458 --> 00:21:59,875
on civilian targets.
413
00:21:59,958 --> 00:22:02,042
Which is why he may be
in even greater danger
414
00:22:02,125 --> 00:22:03,500
once he returns home.
415
00:22:03,583 --> 00:22:06,542
Say what you want about him
and I can say quite a bit.
416
00:22:06,625 --> 00:22:08,083
He is relentless.
417
00:22:08,167 --> 00:22:10,667
Sooner or later,
he will find out what's going on
418
00:22:10,750 --> 00:22:14,125
and I believe
he will try to stop it.
419
00:22:14,208 --> 00:22:17,875
In the long run, he may be
our only hope of ending this.
420
00:22:17,958 --> 00:22:20,333
He must be protected
at all costs.
421
00:22:20,417 --> 00:22:22,750
- Have you told him this yet?
- No.
422
00:22:22,833 --> 00:22:26,833
I was thinking
of making it a surprise.
423
00:22:26,917 --> 00:22:29,167
I even booked the seat
right next to his.
424
00:22:29,250 --> 00:22:32,417
It will give me someone
to talk to during the flight.
425
00:22:32,500 --> 00:22:34,625
Londo once told me he hates it
426
00:22:34,708 --> 00:22:36,750
when people talk to him
on long flights.
427
00:22:36,833 --> 00:22:38,417
He prefers to sleep.
428
00:22:38,500 --> 00:22:40,917
[chuckles]
I know.
429
00:22:42,333 --> 00:22:45,083
Well, I should pack.
430
00:22:45,167 --> 00:22:47,292
Thank you for coming, Delenn.
431
00:22:48,667 --> 00:22:53,667
G'Kar, you realize
that if this does come to war
432
00:22:53,750 --> 00:22:56,583
you will be alone
on the Centauri homeworld.
433
00:22:56,667 --> 00:23:01,083
There is nothing we can do
to help you if things go badly.
434
00:23:02,542 --> 00:23:04,125
I know.
435
00:23:08,875 --> 00:23:12,792
These are the latest chapters
of my book.
436
00:23:12,875 --> 00:23:15,000
I tried to set right
a few of the things
437
00:23:15,083 --> 00:23:17,167
at the beginning of the book
438
00:23:17,250 --> 00:23:19,667
written when
I was a much angrier person
439
00:23:19,750 --> 00:23:22,167
than I am now.
440
00:23:22,250 --> 00:23:27,167
If things should,
as you say, go badly..
441
00:23:27,250 --> 00:23:30,708
...will you see to it
that these reach Narn?
442
00:23:33,208 --> 00:23:35,833
- I will.
- Thank you.
443
00:23:38,042 --> 00:23:39,417
Goodbye, Delenn.
444
00:23:40,542 --> 00:23:44,083
G'Kar...have I ever told you
445
00:23:44,167 --> 00:23:48,417
that you are one of the finest
writers I have ever met
446
00:23:48,500 --> 00:23:51,375
and that it has been an honor
447
00:23:51,458 --> 00:23:54,667
to work beside you
in the Alliance?
448
00:23:54,750 --> 00:23:56,208
Not in words.
449
00:23:57,708 --> 00:24:01,333
But the thing
about losing one eye..
450
00:24:01,417 --> 00:24:05,208
...is that it makes you look
deeply into the eyes of another.
451
00:24:06,667 --> 00:24:09,000
I found in yours
452
00:24:09,083 --> 00:24:12,375
all of the thanks
I will ever require
453
00:24:12,458 --> 00:24:16,042
in this life or in any other.
454
00:24:34,417 --> 00:24:35,875
- Zack.
- Yes, sir?
455
00:24:35,958 --> 00:24:37,583
Have you been able to get
a hold of Garibaldi yet?
456
00:24:37,667 --> 00:24:39,542
No, I've been trying
for the last hour.
457
00:24:39,625 --> 00:24:41,083
He isn't even answering
his link.
458
00:24:41,167 --> 00:24:43,208
Well, find him.
Get him to my quarters ASAP.
459
00:24:43,292 --> 00:24:45,375
- This is important.
- Yes, sir.
460
00:24:46,292 --> 00:24:47,708
[doorbell chimes]
461
00:24:54,917 --> 00:24:56,667
Yeah, yeah. Who is it?
462
00:24:56,750 --> 00:24:59,167
(Zack)
'Michael, it's me.
Come on, open up the door.'
463
00:25:01,792 --> 00:25:03,167
Just, uh..
464
00:25:04,667 --> 00:25:08,292
Just a second.
Just, just one second.
465
00:25:12,250 --> 00:25:13,292
Open.
466
00:25:14,292 --> 00:25:15,792
Michael, where the hell
you been?
467
00:25:15,875 --> 00:25:18,292
Sheridan's been trying to get
a hold of you for over an hour.
468
00:25:18,375 --> 00:25:20,417
I, uh, fell asleep.
469
00:25:20,500 --> 00:25:23,542
I was tired. I work hard.
I'm entitled.
470
00:25:23,625 --> 00:25:25,917
Yeah, well,
he said it's important.
471
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,917
[laughs]
Yeah, yeah..
472
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,625
Tell me when it is
ever not important.
473
00:25:31,708 --> 00:25:34,750
Alright, please, just tell me.
When is it ever not important?
474
00:25:34,833 --> 00:25:37,000
'Go ahead, go ahead,
take your time. I-I can wait.'
475
00:25:37,083 --> 00:25:38,333
Oh, no, that's right,
I can't wait
476
00:25:38,417 --> 00:25:40,500
because it's important.
477
00:25:40,583 --> 00:25:43,042
You're, uh, being
awfully cranky, Michael.
478
00:25:43,125 --> 00:25:44,500
You've been
taking your vitamins?
479
00:25:44,583 --> 00:25:46,333
Ah, will you give it
a rest, huh?
480
00:25:46,417 --> 00:25:48,083
Oh, I just figured
maybe you could use
481
00:25:48,167 --> 00:25:49,958
a little more Vitamin C
in your diet.
482
00:25:50,042 --> 00:25:52,250
Here, catch.
483
00:25:52,333 --> 00:25:55,292
Oh, sorry.
Uh, that was my fastball.
484
00:25:55,375 --> 00:25:56,875
Try this one.
485
00:26:00,375 --> 00:26:02,958
Hand-eye coordination sucks.
486
00:26:03,042 --> 00:26:05,458
- I told you I was asleep.
- You're drunk.
487
00:26:05,542 --> 00:26:08,333
- Ah, bull.
- Oh, yeah?
488
00:26:08,417 --> 00:26:11,125
Come over here where I can smell
your breath and say that.
489
00:26:11,208 --> 00:26:14,208
[scoffs]
I don't have to prove
anything to you, alright?
490
00:26:16,042 --> 00:26:19,458
You picked a great time
for this, Michael.
491
00:26:19,542 --> 00:26:23,458
Don't. Don't you dare
get self-righteous on me.
492
00:26:23,542 --> 00:26:25,500
You are the last person
on this station
493
00:26:25,583 --> 00:26:27,625
to get self-righteous
with anybody.
494
00:26:27,708 --> 00:26:29,667
You had a lot of problems
before you came here
495
00:26:29,750 --> 00:26:31,833
and I know, I know
you had some problems
496
00:26:31,917 --> 00:26:33,167
after you got here too.
497
00:26:33,250 --> 00:26:36,042
But did I say anything
to you about it? No.
498
00:26:36,125 --> 00:26:37,417
You wanna know why?
499
00:26:37,500 --> 00:26:39,417
Because I knew, I knew
you would work it out
500
00:26:39,500 --> 00:26:41,917
and you always did.
501
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,333
'You have no idea what
I go through here every day.'
502
00:26:45,417 --> 00:26:47,208
The hassles,
the, the problems
503
00:26:47,292 --> 00:26:51,417
the pressures, the, the things
that people do to me.
504
00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:54,375
And why the hell am I
justifying myself to you?
505
00:26:54,458 --> 00:26:55,708
To you?
506
00:26:56,833 --> 00:26:58,458
No, as far as
I'm concerned, Zack
507
00:26:58,542 --> 00:27:01,250
you got no basis for taking
the moral high ground with me.
508
00:27:01,333 --> 00:27:03,708
No basis at all.
509
00:27:09,167 --> 00:27:10,417
[sighs]
510
00:27:13,583 --> 00:27:15,417
Oh, what the hell is that?
511
00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:16,833
If you wanna hurt me
512
00:27:16,917 --> 00:27:19,500
there's a cleaner
and faster way of doing it.
513
00:27:19,583 --> 00:27:21,708
Hell, you might even think
about it for yourself.
514
00:27:21,792 --> 00:27:23,250
It's a hell of a lot
more efficient
515
00:27:23,333 --> 00:27:25,208
than the road you're on
and you'll take fewer people
516
00:27:25,292 --> 00:27:27,417
with you when you go.
517
00:27:27,500 --> 00:27:29,750
Being a little melodramatic,
aren't you?
518
00:27:32,125 --> 00:27:34,708
You're an alcoholic, Michael.
519
00:27:34,792 --> 00:27:37,625
'You can't just have
a few drinks and get over it.'
520
00:27:37,708 --> 00:27:40,417
You can't justify it
or explain it.
521
00:27:40,500 --> 00:27:42,625
You can't play
the feel-sorry-for-me game
522
00:27:42,708 --> 00:27:44,375
or you're-no-better game
523
00:27:44,458 --> 00:27:45,583
and if I'm pissed at you
524
00:27:45,667 --> 00:27:47,708
it's because I'm your friend.
525
00:27:47,792 --> 00:27:49,583
And I know what you've been
through to get here.
526
00:27:49,667 --> 00:27:51,167
I've been through
the same thing myself
527
00:27:51,250 --> 00:27:53,833
and I don't wanna see you
throw it all away.
528
00:27:58,417 --> 00:28:00,333
You gonna turn me in?
529
00:28:03,542 --> 00:28:04,875
I don't know.
530
00:28:06,125 --> 00:28:09,750
If you don't know,
then, uh, just, just..
531
00:28:09,833 --> 00:28:12,667
...just give me a little bit
more time, Zack.
532
00:28:12,750 --> 00:28:14,833
If you turn me in,
they're gonna drop-kick my butt
533
00:28:14,917 --> 00:28:16,333
and I can kiss
my career goodbye
534
00:28:16,417 --> 00:28:19,125
before I have a chance
to fix anything.
535
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,500
I just need a little bit
more time, that's all.
536
00:28:23,583 --> 00:28:25,667
Just to work some things out.
537
00:28:27,583 --> 00:28:29,167
Alright.
538
00:28:31,958 --> 00:28:33,625
Get your stuff,
we'll stop by security
539
00:28:33,708 --> 00:28:37,458
and pick up some oxy-pills
and get you into shape.
540
00:28:38,792 --> 00:28:40,333
Go on.
541
00:28:48,708 --> 00:28:51,125
(Sheridan)
We're in a critical situation
here, Michael.
542
00:28:51,208 --> 00:28:53,958
Virtually all the Centauri
deep-range transports
543
00:28:54,042 --> 00:28:55,792
are accompanied by warships.
544
00:28:55,875 --> 00:28:58,125
On our side, the Alliance Worlds
545
00:28:58,208 --> 00:29:00,458
have stationed cruisers
at their local jump points
546
00:29:00,542 --> 00:29:03,958
ready to open fire the second
the Centauri come through.
547
00:29:04,042 --> 00:29:06,917
'I mean, it-it's a powder keg
just waiting to go off.'
548
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,750
I know. This is bad, John.
What are we gonna do about it?
549
00:29:10,833 --> 00:29:13,667
The Centauri have an ego
550
00:29:13,750 --> 00:29:15,542
about as big
as the galactic core
551
00:29:15,625 --> 00:29:17,208
but they're not stupid.
552
00:29:18,333 --> 00:29:20,667
Now if they come out
of hyperspace
553
00:29:20,750 --> 00:29:22,750
and see, uh, several Drazi
554
00:29:22,833 --> 00:29:25,125
or Brakiri warships
waiting for them
555
00:29:25,208 --> 00:29:27,667
they're gonna open fire because
they think they can handle it.
556
00:29:27,750 --> 00:29:29,250
And they're probably right,
they got some pretty
557
00:29:29,333 --> 00:29:30,958
solid armaments on their side.
558
00:29:31,042 --> 00:29:34,125
Exactly, but even the Centauri
will hesitate
559
00:29:34,208 --> 00:29:37,000
with a half a dozen
White Stars waiting for them
560
00:29:37,083 --> 00:29:39,333
and that is where you come in.
561
00:29:39,417 --> 00:29:43,125
See, I've got the Rangers
keeping tabs on the Centauri.
562
00:29:43,208 --> 00:29:45,542
They will relay
that information to you
563
00:29:45,625 --> 00:29:46,792
you will coordinate it
564
00:29:46,875 --> 00:29:50,000
so that we know
where they are at all times.
565
00:29:50,083 --> 00:29:52,167
It's not a problem.
Then what?
566
00:29:52,250 --> 00:29:54,375
Well, as soon as you know
when they're going to jump
567
00:29:54,458 --> 00:29:57,333
into Alliance space,
you let me know and we'll get
568
00:29:57,417 --> 00:29:59,792
as many White Stars
as we can into the area.
569
00:29:59,875 --> 00:30:02,208
We'll create a buffer zone
between the two sides
570
00:30:02,292 --> 00:30:05,208
enforcing the blockade
and turning the Centauri around
571
00:30:05,292 --> 00:30:09,667
while making sure that
our guys don't open fire first.
572
00:30:09,750 --> 00:30:13,500
It sounds unbelievably ugly.
573
00:30:13,583 --> 00:30:14,875
I know.
574
00:30:16,292 --> 00:30:17,750
Hey, I'm just trying to pull
575
00:30:17,833 --> 00:30:19,500
this situation
back from the brink.
576
00:30:19,583 --> 00:30:22,542
I mean, Delenn is on the line
to the Grey Council right now
577
00:30:22,625 --> 00:30:25,875
to see if the Minbari government
can talk some sense into them
578
00:30:25,958 --> 00:30:27,792
but I'm not holding out
any hope.
579
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,375
No.
580
00:30:30,458 --> 00:30:31,792
Michael, this may be
our only chance
581
00:30:31,875 --> 00:30:33,958
to avoid a shooting war.
582
00:30:34,042 --> 00:30:36,458
So that's why it is so important
that you get that information
583
00:30:36,542 --> 00:30:38,708
to us as fast as you can,
so that we have time
584
00:30:38,792 --> 00:30:40,833
to get the White Stars
in position.
585
00:30:45,667 --> 00:30:47,667
You can rely on me.
586
00:30:47,750 --> 00:30:49,583
I'll get it done.
587
00:30:51,417 --> 00:30:53,917
[instrumental music]
588
00:31:07,208 --> 00:31:09,667
I don't like the looks
of this at all, G'Kar.
589
00:31:09,750 --> 00:31:11,750
Now you know
what it feels like.
590
00:31:11,833 --> 00:31:15,000
I have seen this view
of your warships many times.
591
00:31:15,083 --> 00:31:18,542
I didn't like it then
and I like it even less now.
592
00:31:25,458 --> 00:31:27,292
Ah, prime minister,
welcome back.
593
00:31:27,375 --> 00:31:30,000
I was hoping you'd return home,
get out of the line of fire.
594
00:31:30,083 --> 00:31:33,042
Well, thank you, but I'd rather
there wasn't a line of fire.
595
00:31:33,125 --> 00:31:37,208
Is that why you brought it along
to hear our terms?
596
00:31:37,292 --> 00:31:39,458
No, he is still here
as my bodyguard, that's all.
597
00:31:39,542 --> 00:31:42,167
- Where I go, he goes.
- My condolences.
598
00:31:42,250 --> 00:31:46,792
Thank you. It's a burden,
but I've come to accept it.
599
00:31:46,875 --> 00:31:49,708
Minister, I would like to see
the regent as soon as possible.
600
00:31:49,792 --> 00:31:51,792
I'm afraid the regent
is otherwise engaged
601
00:31:51,875 --> 00:31:53,125
and will be for some time.
602
00:31:53,208 --> 00:31:55,125
Minister, you cannot deny me
access to--
603
00:31:55,208 --> 00:31:57,625
(Cholini)
'No one is denying
you anything, prime minister'
604
00:31:57,708 --> 00:32:00,958
but there is a time and a place
and a way of doing things.
605
00:32:01,042 --> 00:32:03,500
When the time is right,
you will see the regent.
606
00:32:03,583 --> 00:32:07,042
Meanwhile, I suggest
you retire to your quarters.
607
00:32:07,125 --> 00:32:09,958
It's late. I'm sure
you'd like to freshen up.
608
00:32:10,042 --> 00:32:11,208
Both of you.
609
00:32:11,292 --> 00:32:14,583
It's a natural musk.
I rather enjoy it.
610
00:32:14,667 --> 00:32:16,583
I was noticing
there are a few more guards
611
00:32:16,667 --> 00:32:17,583
around here than normal.
612
00:32:17,667 --> 00:32:19,000
Yes, we've increased security
613
00:32:19,083 --> 00:32:20,375
throughout the palace
for obvious reasons.
614
00:32:20,458 --> 00:32:22,167
So while we are willing
to tolerate the presence
615
00:32:22,250 --> 00:32:25,542
of your companion for your sake,
understand that if he's seen
616
00:32:25,625 --> 00:32:28,000
walking anywhere
in the palace by himself
617
00:32:28,083 --> 00:32:29,167
he will be shot on sight.
618
00:32:29,250 --> 00:32:30,458
Be careful, minister.
619
00:32:30,542 --> 00:32:33,167
We don't want my companion
to get the wrong idea.
620
00:32:33,250 --> 00:32:35,625
We don't normally treat
our guests so badly.
621
00:32:35,708 --> 00:32:37,792
- Yes, you do.
- Shut up.
622
00:32:37,875 --> 00:32:40,750
- Just trying to help.
- Come.
623
00:32:46,250 --> 00:32:48,000
[beeps]
624
00:32:48,083 --> 00:32:50,542
(man on radio)
'This is White Star 43
to Michael Garibaldi.'
625
00:32:50,625 --> 00:32:53,333
'We have an urgent message
on Centauri movements.'
626
00:32:53,417 --> 00:32:55,000
'Please respond.'
627
00:32:55,083 --> 00:32:56,875
'I repeat.
This is White Star 43.'
628
00:32:56,958 --> 00:32:59,042
'We have an urgent message
concerning the movements'
629
00:32:59,125 --> 00:33:00,750
'of Centauri warships.'
630
00:33:00,833 --> 00:33:02,250
'Please respond.'
631
00:33:03,417 --> 00:33:04,708
'Alright, we're going in
after them'
632
00:33:04,792 --> 00:33:06,000
'alone if we have to.'
633
00:33:06,083 --> 00:33:07,875
'Uploading data to your system.'
634
00:33:07,958 --> 00:33:09,375
'When you get this message,
please inform'
635
00:33:09,458 --> 00:33:11,875
'President Sheridan
as fast as you can.'
636
00:33:11,958 --> 00:33:14,542
'White Star 43 out.'
637
00:33:21,750 --> 00:33:23,000
(man on radio)
'Drazi blockade squadron'
638
00:33:23,083 --> 00:33:25,167
'to Centauri transports
and warships.'
639
00:33:25,250 --> 00:33:28,583
'You are ordered to turn back
or prepare to be boarded.'
640
00:33:34,833 --> 00:33:36,417
'This is your last warning.'
641
00:33:36,500 --> 00:33:40,250
'You will surrender your ships
and prepare to be boarded.'
642
00:33:42,500 --> 00:33:45,167
(man on radio)
'This is White Star 43
to Drazi and Centauri vessels.'
643
00:33:45,250 --> 00:33:47,750
'Hold your fire.
I repeat, hold your fire!'

645

[explosion]
646
00:34:00,333 --> 00:34:01,917
[doorbell chimes]
647
00:34:04,292 --> 00:34:05,458
Hmm?
648
00:34:05,542 --> 00:34:07,000
[doorbell chimes]
649
00:34:15,958 --> 00:34:17,333
[sighs]
650
00:34:21,417 --> 00:34:22,958
Yes?
651
00:34:24,292 --> 00:34:26,042
[indistinct chatter]
652
00:34:34,083 --> 00:34:36,208
It was Zack. He..
653
00:34:37,708 --> 00:34:40,375
You should get dressed.
654
00:34:40,458 --> 00:34:41,917
It's started.
655
00:34:43,958 --> 00:34:45,500
What do you mean,
you can't put me
656
00:34:45,583 --> 00:34:47,375
in touch
with the prime minister?
657
00:34:47,458 --> 00:34:49,333
I'm sorry, but he's unavailable.
658
00:34:49,417 --> 00:34:50,583
You'll have to try back later.
659
00:34:50,667 --> 00:34:54,042
Wait a second.
This is important.
660
00:34:54,125 --> 00:34:56,083
I think he would want
to know about this.
661
00:34:56,167 --> 00:34:58,667
We are aware of the situation.
662
00:34:58,750 --> 00:35:01,125
There is no need
for overreaction.
663
00:35:01,208 --> 00:35:02,667
We will inform
Prime Minister Mollari
664
00:35:02,750 --> 00:35:05,125
of all the details
when he is available.
665
00:35:05,208 --> 00:35:07,458
- Good day.
- Yes, but do..
666
00:35:07,542 --> 00:35:09,000
Oh!
667
00:35:09,083 --> 00:35:10,458
Oh.
668
00:35:14,083 --> 00:35:15,208
[doorbell chimes]
669
00:35:16,417 --> 00:35:18,500
Yes? Who is it?
670
00:35:18,583 --> 00:35:21,292
- 'Dr. Franklin.'
- Oh, open.
671
00:35:22,708 --> 00:35:24,833
See, there you are and I've been
looking all over for you.
672
00:35:24,917 --> 00:35:26,208
- You weren't in your quarters.
- No.
673
00:35:26,292 --> 00:35:28,083
The pass codes for
the royal com system are here--
674
00:35:28,167 --> 00:35:29,458
It doesn't matter.
Alright, look.
675
00:35:29,542 --> 00:35:31,208
The president sent me,
he wants you out of here
676
00:35:31,292 --> 00:35:32,875
and into new quarters ASAP.
677
00:35:32,958 --> 00:35:33,875
Why?
678
00:35:33,958 --> 00:35:34,958
Look, the council is
679
00:35:35,042 --> 00:35:36,208
up in arms over the fighting.
680
00:35:36,292 --> 00:35:37,292
Centauri cruisers have taken out
681
00:35:37,375 --> 00:35:38,333
several of their ships.
682
00:35:38,417 --> 00:35:39,583
They're gonna take it out on you
683
00:35:39,667 --> 00:35:40,750
if we don't get out
of here quietly.
684
00:35:40,833 --> 00:35:41,958
That's why he didn't
send security.
685
00:35:42,042 --> 00:35:43,375
Now the less we draw attention
686
00:35:43,458 --> 00:35:44,542
the more we can avoid trouble.
687
00:35:44,625 --> 00:35:46,167
- Now come on.
- Wait a second.
688
00:35:46,250 --> 00:35:47,958
Londo, he may call.
I need to be here.
689
00:35:48,042 --> 00:35:50,250
Look, we will route all your
calls to the new quarters.
690
00:35:50,333 --> 00:35:51,708
Now come on.
691
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:10,250
- Walk away, doctor.
- I'm afraid I can't do that.
692
00:36:10,333 --> 00:36:13,292
Walk away
and we will not hurt you
693
00:36:13,375 --> 00:36:14,583
but this one.
694
00:36:14,667 --> 00:36:17,000
'His kind killed over
100 of our people'
695
00:36:17,083 --> 00:36:19,583
'and ran like the cowards
they are.'
696
00:36:19,667 --> 00:36:22,583
If we can't take
our revenge on them
697
00:36:22,667 --> 00:36:24,000
we will take it out on him.
698
00:36:24,083 --> 00:36:27,125
But this man speaks
for the Centauri.
699
00:36:27,208 --> 00:36:28,417
He has diplomatic immunity.
700
00:36:28,500 --> 00:36:30,333
[chuckles]
We're not diplomats.
701
00:36:30,417 --> 00:36:31,625
[laughing]
702
00:36:31,708 --> 00:36:32,917
Alright, fine.
703
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,708
You want him,
you gotta go through me.
704
00:36:34,792 --> 00:36:36,000
A fair deal.
705
00:36:36,083 --> 00:36:38,083
Unless, of course,
you want Mollari.
706
00:36:38,167 --> 00:36:40,583
I mean, you know, he's, uh..
707
00:36:40,667 --> 00:36:42,417
...far more responsible,
after all and..
708
00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:44,667
[grunts]
709
00:36:46,292 --> 00:36:48,833
Come on. Let's go.
Come on.
710
00:36:51,125 --> 00:36:55,125
- 'What the hell went wrong?'
- I don't know.
711
00:36:55,208 --> 00:36:56,917
What do you mean,
you don't know?
712
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,167
Look, we did everything we could
to keep track of the Centauri.
713
00:36:59,250 --> 00:37:00,583
Apparently, one of them
got past us
714
00:37:00,667 --> 00:37:03,000
hit the blockade,
opened fire on the Drazi.
715
00:37:03,083 --> 00:37:04,458
Are we sure they fired first?
716
00:37:04,542 --> 00:37:06,167
There's so many rumors
floating around.
717
00:37:06,250 --> 00:37:08,083
I can't be sure of anything,
but from what we can tell
718
00:37:08,167 --> 00:37:09,708
yeah, they fired first.
719
00:37:09,792 --> 00:37:12,292
Perhaps we can speak
with 'em. We--
720
00:37:12,375 --> 00:37:14,500
I think they're tired
of listening, Lennier.
721
00:37:14,583 --> 00:37:16,083
[indistinct chatter]
722
00:37:16,167 --> 00:37:18,583
Did you hear? Did you hear
what they did to us?
723
00:37:18,667 --> 00:37:19,792
Yes, we heard.
724
00:37:19,875 --> 00:37:21,792
Then where is
the White Star fleet?
725
00:37:21,875 --> 00:37:23,750
You said you would
support our actions.
726
00:37:23,833 --> 00:37:25,833
You said you would aid
in fighting the Centauri
727
00:37:25,917 --> 00:37:28,042
but the White Star fleet
is just sitting there
728
00:37:28,125 --> 00:37:29,292
refusing to engage.
729
00:37:29,375 --> 00:37:31,167
We have not yet
ordered them to do so.
730
00:37:31,250 --> 00:37:34,750
- What? Then give the order.
- Back away, ambassador.
731
00:37:34,833 --> 00:37:35,958
Get out of my way.
732
00:37:36,042 --> 00:37:37,667
He's right.
Where's the fleet?
733
00:37:37,750 --> 00:37:40,417
Alright.
Everybody, just back off.
734
00:37:40,500 --> 00:37:42,167
- Back off?
- Back off!
735
00:37:42,250 --> 00:37:44,125
[indistinct chatter]
736
00:37:45,208 --> 00:37:46,875
That's enough.
737
00:37:46,958 --> 00:37:49,000
I said that's enough!
738
00:37:52,042 --> 00:37:54,500
Now we gave you a promise
739
00:37:54,583 --> 00:37:56,125
and we are bound
by that promise
740
00:37:56,208 --> 00:37:58,167
and damn you for asking for it.
741
00:37:58,250 --> 00:38:00,625
And damn me for agreeing to it.
742
00:38:00,708 --> 00:38:02,333
And damn all of us to hell
743
00:38:02,417 --> 00:38:04,750
because that is exactly
where we're going!
744
00:38:04,833 --> 00:38:06,708
We talked about peace.
745
00:38:06,792 --> 00:38:08,042
You didn't want peace.
746
00:38:08,125 --> 00:38:09,667
We talked about cooperation.
747
00:38:09,750 --> 00:38:11,583
You didn't want cooperation.
748
00:38:11,667 --> 00:38:14,000
You want war.
749
00:38:14,083 --> 00:38:15,917
Is that it?
750
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,708
You want a war?
Well, you've got a war.
751
00:38:23,458 --> 00:38:25,833
[instrumental music]
752
00:38:28,833 --> 00:38:30,833
[knock on door]
753
00:38:30,917 --> 00:38:33,417
No, no, wait.
Who is it?
754
00:38:33,500 --> 00:38:36,542
(Cholini)
'Open the door, prime minister.'
755
00:38:36,625 --> 00:38:38,000
Just a minute.
756
00:38:44,125 --> 00:38:47,708
Yes? What is this?
757
00:38:47,792 --> 00:38:49,833
The regent sent me to tell you
that fighting has broken out
758
00:38:49,917 --> 00:38:52,458
between our forces
and the Interstellar Alliance.
759
00:38:52,542 --> 00:38:54,083
I'm also told
that they have followed
760
00:38:54,167 --> 00:38:57,542
our declaration of hostilities
with one of their own.
761
00:38:57,625 --> 00:39:00,250
We are now officially at war
with the Alliance.
762
00:39:00,333 --> 00:39:03,250
No, no. This can still
be stopped. I will call them.
763
00:39:03,333 --> 00:39:06,333
(Cholini)
'All communication
with Babylon 5 has been cut off'
764
00:39:06,417 --> 00:39:08,083
'for reasons of security.'
765
00:39:08,167 --> 00:39:09,417
For similar reasons
766
00:39:09,500 --> 00:39:14,000
I'm afraid we must place
your companion under arrest.
767
00:39:14,083 --> 00:39:15,958
'You may have resigned'
768
00:39:16,042 --> 00:39:19,208
but he is still on the advisory
board of the Alliance.
769
00:39:19,292 --> 00:39:21,417
His very presence
represents a threat
770
00:39:21,500 --> 00:39:24,042
to our ability to conduct
the war freely
771
00:39:24,125 --> 00:39:26,250
without having
our plans compromised.
772
00:39:26,333 --> 00:39:28,542
No, this is most inappropriate.
773
00:39:28,625 --> 00:39:30,583
He will be placed
in one of our better cells
774
00:39:30,667 --> 00:39:34,583
until the war is over,
however long that may take.
775
00:39:34,667 --> 00:39:37,250
- Guards.
- I said no.
776
00:39:37,333 --> 00:39:39,375
He is here as my guest.
777
00:39:39,458 --> 00:39:42,625
These orders come
directly from the regent.
778
00:39:42,708 --> 00:39:44,125
To refuse a direct order
779
00:39:44,208 --> 00:39:46,333
carries with it
the penalty of death.
780
00:39:46,417 --> 00:39:47,750
It's alright, Mollari.
781
00:39:47,833 --> 00:39:49,958
I have already seen
the inside of your cells.
782
00:39:50,042 --> 00:39:53,000
I doubt that I will see anything
now that I haven't seen before.
783
00:39:53,083 --> 00:39:54,375
You are not going anywhere.
784
00:39:54,458 --> 00:39:57,167
I told you before,
where I go, he goes.
785
00:39:57,250 --> 00:39:59,500
And where he goes, I go.
786
00:39:59,583 --> 00:40:02,333
- Mollari.
- Don't worry.
787
00:40:02,417 --> 00:40:04,458
Even one as arrogant as this
788
00:40:04,542 --> 00:40:06,458
would not take it
upon himself
789
00:40:06,542 --> 00:40:09,292
to imprison
his own prime minister.
790
00:40:09,375 --> 00:40:11,042
[door closes]
791
00:40:22,500 --> 00:40:25,500
- Shut up.
- I didn't say anything.
792
00:40:30,750 --> 00:40:32,417
(Londo)
Great Maker.
793
00:40:33,792 --> 00:40:36,542
Sometimes I feel I..
794
00:40:36,625 --> 00:40:39,500
'...I don't understand
anything anymore.'
795
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:12,333
Praying?
796
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:16,083
Not in the sense
you mean it, but..
797
00:41:16,167 --> 00:41:17,250
...yes.
798
00:41:19,667 --> 00:41:21,667
You mind if I join you?
799
00:41:37,125 --> 00:41:40,208
What does the candle represent?
800
00:41:40,292 --> 00:41:41,583
Life.
801
00:41:43,167 --> 00:41:44,958
Whose life?
802
00:41:45,042 --> 00:41:48,042
All life. Every life.
803
00:41:50,125 --> 00:41:53,625
We are all born as molecules
804
00:41:53,708 --> 00:41:56,792
in the hearts
of a billion stars.
805
00:41:56,875 --> 00:41:59,292
Molecules that do not
understand politics
806
00:41:59,375 --> 00:42:02,375
or policies or differences.
807
00:42:03,625 --> 00:42:06,750
Over a billion years
we foolish molecules
808
00:42:06,833 --> 00:42:10,750
forget who we are
and where we came from.
809
00:42:10,833 --> 00:42:13,167
In desperate acts of ego
810
00:42:13,250 --> 00:42:14,917
we give ourselves names
811
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,208
fight over lines on maps
812
00:42:17,292 --> 00:42:19,250
and pretend that our light
813
00:42:19,333 --> 00:42:21,958
is better than everyone else's.
814
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,333
The flame reminds us
815
00:42:26,417 --> 00:42:28,958
of the piece of those stars
816
00:42:29,042 --> 00:42:31,375
that lives on inside us.
817
00:42:31,458 --> 00:42:34,625
The spark that tells us..
818
00:42:34,708 --> 00:42:36,583
'...you should know better.'
819
00:42:37,708 --> 00:42:39,625
'The flame also reminds us'
820
00:42:39,708 --> 00:42:41,958
'that life is precious'
821
00:42:42,042 --> 00:42:44,375
as each flame is unique.
822
00:42:44,458 --> 00:42:46,667
When it goes out
823
00:42:46,750 --> 00:42:48,708
it's gone forever.
824
00:42:49,875 --> 00:42:53,167
And there will never be
another quite like it.
825
00:42:56,625 --> 00:42:59,458
So many candles
will go out tonight.
826
00:43:01,792 --> 00:43:03,458
I wonder some days..
827
00:43:04,958 --> 00:43:07,625
...if we can see
anything at all.
828
00:43:17,583 --> 00:43:20,083
