All language subtitles for Babylon 5 5x21.Objects.at.Rest

[instrumental music]

So, you couldn't sleep
either.

Not really.

I hear Delenn came back
from Minbar last night.

Yes.

The new headquarters for the
Alliance

are just about finished.

We can go any time.

Hard to believe
it's been almost a year

since you got here.

Where does the time go?

That way.

And what's out there?

The Rim.

And beyond that?

The truth.

When we leave for Minbar..

...I don't want any ceremonies,
brass bands, or speeches.

I just wanna leave here
quietly.

I understand.

Before that, I..

I wanted to thank you
for bringing me in here.

The first few days,
I wasn't sure

I really wanted
the job but..

...this place
kinda grows on you.

Yes, it does.

And it's gonna be
hard to leave.

I thought
I was prepared for it

but now that the reality
of it is here.

Well, it's just hard,
that's all.

Well, I should, uh,
probably get some breakfast.

We go online
in about an hour

and we've got double the usual
number of ships coming in.

Hmm.

Looks like it's gonna be
one of those days.

Mr. President.

Captain..

You're welcome.

And in case I don't get
to say this later..

...it's been good
having you here.

Knowing that this place
is in good hands

makes the leaving easier.

[bell chiming]

He's not there.

Ah, well then, do you know
when G'Kar will return?

He's not coming back.
He left a few days ago.

Do you know
where he went?

No. No one does.

I think he wanted
it that way.

But he sent for me on Narn.

Said I should come
as quickly as possible.

Did he leave any
message for me?

No. No, not
that I know of.

I'm sorry.

[instrumental music]

[chiming]

Lights.

[automated message]
'Voice identification. Ta'Lon.'

'Message waiting
from Ambassador G'Kar.'

'Do you wish to receive?'

Yes. Yes, of course.

Greetings, Ta'Lon.

I am leaving
this message for you

because it appears
I must leave Babylon 5

sooner than I had intended.

I would have preferred
to say this in person

but since I cannot,
let me say it here.

Now that I am gone..

...someone else must speak
for our people.

I would like for
that person to be you.

(Kosh)
And so it begins..

(male #1)
There was a hole in your mind--

(G'Kar)
No one here is
exactly what he appears.

(Hague)
Commander Sinclair
is being reassigned.

(Londo)
Why don't you eliminate
the entire Narn homeworld?

(Elric)
I see a great hand
reaching out of the stars.

(female #1)
President Clark has signed
a decree today declaring--

(Sheridan)
These orders have forced us
to declare independence.

Unless your people get off
their encounter suited butts

and do something..

(Kosh)
If you go to Z'ha'dum,
you will die.

(Lorien)
Why are you here?

Do you have anything
worth living for?

(Delenn)
I think of my beautiful city
in flames.

(Sheridan)
Giants in the playground..

Now, get the hell
out of our galaxy!

We are here to place
President Clark under arrest.

[theme music]

[music continues]

Knowing you as I do, Ta'Lon

I'm sure you're
wondering, why you?

To say the least.

(G'Kar)
'Why should you be asked
to take on the responsibility'

of speaking for our people?

Why you might accept it
is for you to decide.

I can only tell you
why I've offered it.

I believe there is a time
for enlightenment

and a time for things
to get done.

I have become a distraction
for our people.

They require patience,
direction, determination

and strength.

I have provided a little
of the first two.

(G'Kar)
'Now, you must provide
the rest.'

'You have always been sensible
and level-headed.'

A rock that will
never shift or break

beneath the demands
of our people.

And you have been my friend.

In my absence, we will
need someone to focus

on helping our world rebuild

and strengthening ties
with the Alliance.

In order to serve our people
here and at home

one must be both priest
and warrior in equal measure.

In recent months, I have become
more priest than warrior.

Perhaps, now it is time
for someone

who is more warrior
than priest.

You may believe
you are not ready..

...but you are as ready as I was
when I first came to Babylon 5.

Check the records,
I think you'll be amused.

When this message has finished.

a copy will automatically be
sent to Sheridan and the others.

They will receive you
as they would receive me.

(G'Kar)
'Good luck, Ta'Lon.'

Serve our people..

...reasonably..

...fairly and with...honor.

The rest will attend to itself.

So, I've decided that
you will be my replacement

here on Babylon 5.

Are you sure you
want me for this job?

There are other doctors here
just as qualified as I am.

Oh, absolutely.

There's Dr. Hernandez
in Medlab 3

who has more off world
experience

with alien life forms.

There's Dr. Fuhara
in, uh, Medlab 5

who has more experience
in, uh, alien biologies

than both of us put together.

I think you're making
my point for me.

I've been bouncing around

from one medlab to the other
for three years.

Exactly.

The others are specialists.

If you wanna be chief of staff
in a place like this

you have to be a generalist.

And I need someone
who is willing to fight

for what she believes in.

And you fit that bill.

Alright.
Thank you.

I'll, uh, try
to live up to the honor.

So, when do you
leave for Earth?

Tonight.

The staff has been briefed,
they're ready for you.

The Xenobiology division
back home

needs me as soon as possible.

Well, what about Delenn?
Her pregnancy is--

I've done everything
I can on my end.

Her own doctors back home will
take over when she gets there.

So, I thought
I might as well do it

in one short sharp shot
and get it over with.

I assume you're at least
going to say goodbye

to President Sheridan
before you leave?

Yep.
He's next on my list.

Good luck, doctor.

You have any questions,
you know where to find me.

[instrumental music]

Yes?

- Hello, Delenn.
- Lennier.

You didn't tell me
you were coming.

It would've been considerably
less of a surprise if I had.

But w-w-what are you
doing here?

Your training to be Anla-Shok

must be at its most
critical stage right now.

There was a break in training
for personal time.

And I decided
to take mine here

to help you move back home
and ensure your safe arrival.

I believe the humans
call it a working holiday.

Well, I'm happy that you came.

John and I have been
packing all day.

I could use an excuse
to sit and talk to someone

for a few minutes.

Tell me of home.

'I'll make something
hot to drink.'

Oh, don't, don't bother
on my account.

No, no, no.
It's no trouble at all.

(Delenn)
'Just let me..'

'...let me find
my fili leaves.'

And according to the reports,
we've had one minor skirmish

between Drazi and Brakiri forces
along their border.

But other than that,
it's pretty quiet out there.

What kind of
border skirmish?

I'm still going
through the analysis

but it looks like
a squabble broke out

over a visit to
a brothel on Vermini 7.

[laughs]

Apparently, some
of the Brakiri pilots

in the area have been
using it as a layover.

'And the Drazi pilots
don't like it'

because the employees
are primarily Drazi.

See, there's
some sort of taboo

about touching Brakiri and--

I think that's
as much information

as I can handle, Tessa.
Anything else?

No, Mr. President, as I said,
it's pretty quiet out there.

So you can head out
at your discretion, no problem.

Good. Thank you.

Well, I think
she's very thorough.

She's working out just fine
as head of intelligence.

I agree.

Any reason why
she's not going to Minbar

with you and Delenn?

I would've thought you wanted

your cabinet there
alongside you.

I thought about it

but Babylon 5 is a hot point
for information.

She'd have fewer
resources on Minbar

so it's best she stays here.

Garibaldi finally realized
that he couldn't do his job

living with Lise on Mars.

Speaking of which, has anybody
heard from Garibaldi lately?

No, but I'm sure
he's keeping very busy.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Please be seated.

Since I'm the new guy
on the block.

I figured I should
introduce myself.

The name is Garibaldi.

Michael Garibaldi.

And at the suggestion
of my wife Lise

I have decided to take over

the day to day operations
of Edgars Industries.

So why did you wanna see us?

Because I asked for a list
of company troublemakers.

Now, all of you have been stuck

in the same mid level position
in the same department

because you have
an attitude problem.

If you don't like something
you complain, you talk back.

You think you can do everything
better than your bosses--

So, we're fired, is that it?

Actually, more like promoted.

I've decided that
all of you are now

on the board of directors
of Edgars Industries.

Your job is to tell me
where we've screwed up.

So that we can fix it,
make it better.

The position entitles you
to a 100% salary increase

effective immediately
plus benefits.

One part of your job
is to tell me

if I've screwed up,
to stand your ground.

Now, if you're right,
you get a bonus.

If you're wrong,
I will eat you for lunch.

Does anyone have
a problem with that?

[mellow music]

(woman on TV)
'At which time
our ISN camera crew'

'picked up this White Star
on approach to Babylon 5.'

It's rumored that
President Sheridan and Delenn

will be leaving
aboard that ship

for the newly completed
ISA Headquarters

located on Minbar.

(woman on TV)
'The exact time of their
departure is classified'

'but our sources report..'

Off.

Damn reporters.

They are always two steps ahead
of where they're supposed to be.

How are we supposed
to leave quietly

with all this going on?

Yes?

Your belongings have been
transferred to our ship.

It only awaits
your arrival.

Um, I'm going to take

one last look in
the other room

make sure I didn't
forget anything.

Hmm.

I, uh, I wanna
thank you for coming

all the way out here, Lennier.

It means a lot to her.

To both of us.

I could not have done
otherwise.

So, uh, are you
going to stay long on Minbar

once we've moved in?

Not long. My training
is almost complete.

I should return to it
as soon as possible.

Ah, of course,
of course.

Uh, just so you understand,
you're always welcome

to stay with us
when you're back home.

It'd be nice to, you know,
see a familiar face

from time to time.

I...will remember that.

Hmm.

Find anything?

No. It looks as if
we've got it all.

I guess it's time.

[mellow music]

ISN broke your travel plans
a little while ago.

You may wanna say
a few words.

[indistinct chatter]

Uh...ahem.

Delenn.

When I was first assigned
to Babylon 5

I had to learn to speak
several languages.

Drazi, Brakiri, Centauri

and, of course, English,
the human language of commerce.

Some words have always come
easier to me than the others.

One of the most difficult words
for me was "goodbye."

There is no corresponding word
for "goodbye" in Minbari.

All our partings
contain within them

the possibility
of meeting again

'in other places, in other
times, in other lives.'

So, you will excuse me
if I do not say goodbye.

Our souls are a part
of this place..

...our hopes the foundation
of our future..

...and we will pass
this way again.

[mellow music]

[sighs]

- Zack.
- Mr. President. Delenn.

Well, I was wondering if I were
gonna see you before we left.

Ah, I got tied up. Some problems
down in brown sector.

You know, same old, same old,
but I didn't wanna miss this.

Well, it's good to know
at least one of the old gang

will be stickin' around
for a while.

Who, me? Ha-ha.
Absolutely.

Hell, I'll probably
still be here

when they turn off the lights.

[laughs]
I don't doubt it.

Well..

...you take care, Zack.

Mr. President.

Delenn.

[music continues]

Where's the captain?

He was instructed
to remain on Babylon 5.

I felt it would be
more symbolic

if the two of you commanded
the ship for our trip home.

Well, that's very
good thinking, Lennier.

Stand by to bring her about.

Let's take one last look
at the place.

Match rotation.

[music continues]

[instrumental music]

Take us away.

[music continues]

Restless?

No, no, I'm fine.

You need any help
with that?

No, no.
I'm almost done.

Ah.

Maybe you should
go for a walk.

I don't have
to go for a walk.

I-I am fine.

As you wish.

I think I'll go
for a walk.

[indistinct chatter]

[air hissing]

We've got a coolant leak
in the weapons system.

Evacuate the area.

I'm going to try
and shut it down.

[alarm blaring]

[man coughs]

Come on, fella.
Let's get you out of here.

You shouldn't be here.

They're going to seal off..

Lennier, hit the access panel.

Lennier.

Hit the access panel.

Lennier.

Lennier!

Lennier!

[dramatic music]

[clanging]

I can't.

[coughs]

Come on, buddy.

[coughs]

(male #2)
'Hurry, go!'

[indistinct chatter]

Lennier...what happened?

What happened?

[music continues]

(Delenn on radio)
'Lennier.
Lennier, can you hear me?'

'John told me what happened.'

'We can talk this over.
We can..'

(Sheridan)
'What happened?'

I had his quarters searched

at the Anla-Shok training
facilities in Tuzanor.

They found his diary.

I knew that he had certain
feelings towards me

but I had no idea.

His entries make it clear

that he considers
our union a mistake.

But there is no indication

that he meant you any harm.

Then what happened?

There are moments when
we all become someone else.

Something other
than what we are.

It takes only a moment

but we spend the
rest of our lives

looking back at that
moment in shame.

For one instant, out of
a lifetime of service

he became all of his own
worst instincts.

I can't even imagine
what he's feeling right now.

He was on his way
back when I arrived.

Perhaps he was having
a change of heart.

Or perhaps he wanted
to make sure I was dead.

There's no way to know.

Will you tell me
one thing, John?

Hmm.

If he said he was coming back

because he had changed
his mind, because he wanted

to undo what he had done,
would you believe him?

I don't know.

I-I think I would
believe him, but..

...I shouldn't,
but I think I would.

It's like I said, there's
no way to know the truth.

And even if he changed his mind,
he still crossed the line.

There has to be a price.

I know..

...and I'm sure
he does as well.

[coughs]

You, you should stay
in bed.

I'll tell the crew
to delay our arrival

for another day or so.

No, no, they will
be expecting us

and I'm not about to start
the first day on the job

by arriving late.

No. You know how
rumors get around.

If we're even an hour late,
they'll be worried

that we were all
killed or something.

No. We'll tell them that
I've got a cold, that's all.

But Lennier..

What happened with Lennier..

...will remain on this ship.

You would do this for him?

Um, telling everyone that
I was damn near killed

by one of your people
isn't exactly my idea

of starting off
on the right foot.

No, we will, we will put
our best face on this.

We will go in with,
with smiles and confidence..

...and that will give him..

...room enough to breathe..

...until we can talk to him.

Thank you.

[instrumental music]

[fireworks exploding]

[music continues]

(Londo)
'Still walking around
with your head'

in the clouds, eh, Sheridan?

Londo?

[laughs]
Emperor Mollari, if you will,
Mr. President.

On a joyous day like this,
be here?

(Londo)
'Another of the benefits
of being emperor'

or president, in your case,
is not so much the people

who are pleased
to see you in office.

It's the people who are furious
that you're even alive.

No less holding
a position of power.

Knowing that every day
you succeed, they die

a little more inside,
makes the endeavor

eminently satisfying. Hmm?

If you don't mind my saying so,
Emperor Mollari

your attitude towards us
is quite improved..

...over the last time.

When we were all
on Centauri Prime

you said some...unkind things.

Playing to the audience,
Delenn, nothing more.

I need to get my people
fired up for the long

and difficult process
of rebuilding.

There's politics
and there's friendship.

'When I heard that
you were with child'

'and that you were finally
returning here to stay'

how could I not come and convey
my personal good wishes?

I would raise a toast to you

but there doesn't seem
to be anything at hand.

Mr. President, do you
have a little brivari?

Or perhaps some of that
excellent Earth whiskey

tucked away in a box
somewhere, yes?

(Sheridan)
'No.'

Uh, since alcohol is dangerous
for the Minbari, I..

I left all that stuff
back on Babylon 5.

But surely
there must be a little.

Not a drop.

I'm surprised you didn't
bring along your own supplies.

Well, my...associates

don't allow me
such pleasures anymore.

I suppose they feel that
I am dangerous enough sober.

(Londo)
'No reason to,
to make things worse.'

So, Delenn.
Delenn?

What.. I'm sorry.

What were you saying, Londo?

You haven't asked me
about my gift.

What gift?

I brought this
for your child.

It is a Centauri tradition..

...to give this to
the heir to the throne

when he or she
comes of age.

'It's very old.'

(Delenn)
Well, uh,
it's beautiful, but, uh

we can't possibly accept. We--

(Londo)
I insist.

Besides, I have no heirs.

When I am gone, I suspect the
Centaurum will do all they can

to eliminate
the position of emperor.

If I am going to be obsolete

and that is going
to be obsolete

then I should do
all that I can

to make sure it ends up
where it will be appreciated.

[whispering]

Something has just come up.

If you will excuse me.

Well, uh, since I can't
talk you out of this, uh..

...thank you.

Uh, when do I, uh--

When your child, male
or female, turns 16 years

then you hand it over.

Look at this. I noticed
the bottom is sealed.

Yes.

I am told that it contains
water taken from the river

that flowed past
the very first palace

two thousand years ago.

Hello, Delenn.

Lennier. Where are--

I'm afraid I cannot talk long.

And there is no use
in attempting

to trace this signal.

My Anla-Shok training
has taught me

how to avoid such things.

Lennier.
Listen to me.

You need to come back.

- We can--
- No.

There is nothing to be done.

I've already done enough damage.

I only wanted to call
to tell you..

...that I'm so sorry
for what happened.

meant him any harm.

I never intended
for this to happen.

It, it just happened.

And I, I cannot even
ask you to forgive me

because I know
I will never forgive myself.

I only wanted to call
to tell you..

...one last time..

...that I'm so sorry..

...and that I'm going away.

I must consider
what I've done..

...decide who and what I am.

I need to be somewhere else
until I can find a way

to redeem myself
in your eyes..

'...however long that may take.'

Lennier..

When you see..

...your husband..

...please tell him,
tell him that..

...I'm sorry.

I would tell him myself
but...I'm too ashamed.

Don't do this, Lennier.

I cannot imagine a life
without you in it.

That is unnecessary.

While I am no longer sure
of a great many things

there is one thing I do know
with absolute certainty..

...we will meet again, Delenn.

And on that day,
though I know I will..

...never earn your love.

I will earn your forgiveness.

Until then, if you would,
honor my memory..

...and be happy.

For my sake..

...and for his.

Are you sure you can't stay
a little longer?

No, the affairs of state
weigh heavily on me

just as they do on you.

Besides, I would think

that you would want
to settle in

and get down to creating

the greatest empire
in history, yes?

[chuckles]

One thing I do want you
to know..

...to hold in your thoughts
in the years to come.

I want you to know..

...that you are my friends..

'...that you'll always
be my friends'

'no matter what happens.'

And I...I want you to know
that this day..

...this day, with you..

...means more to me than..

...you will ever know.

It appears I must go now.

I know.

Well, you're always welcome
to come back, Londo.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

I..

Was that Lennier
who called earlier?

Yes.

What did he say?

It's a long story.

I'll tell you
when we're alone.

Are you okay?

For the first time,
I think I will be alright.

[instrumental music]

(Drakh)
'You have done well.'

'As a reward, you may now have
one hour free from us.'

[footsteps approaching]

Now what?

(Drakh)
'Now we await
the passage of years.'

Years?

(Drakh)
'We are very patient.'

[dramatic music]

[sighs]

Ah.

Begin recording.

Today is my first night
on Minbar.

My..

Our new home.

Londo's visit
got me thinking

about the day
my child comes of age.

On earth, that's 21.

If Lorien's prediction holds..

...I only have 19 years left.

I won't be there
to see you..

...come into your own..

...whoever you are,
whoever you will be.

Not that either
of those things matter.

Because sight unseen..

...I know that I will love you
because you are my child..

...and the child of the woman

that I love
more than life itself.

I will give you that love
as best I can..

...for as long as I'm here.

But a day like this,
your 21st birthday

requires something more.

So...I give you..

...what little wisdom I have.

'Delenn...is the greatest ally
you will ever have.'

'Her depths of courage
and compassion'

'are unmatched
in my experience.'

'Look to her
for wisdom and fire'

'in equal measure.'

And if you ever have
any doubt..

...talk to her.

She will never judge you.

She will only love you.

From time to time,
you will make mistakes.

(Sheridan)
They're inevitable.

Sometimes those mistakes
will be...huge.

What matters is
that you learn from them.

There's nothing wrong
with falling down.

So long as you end up
just two inches taller

when you pick yourself up
off the floor.

At times, you may end up
far away from home.

(Sheridan)
You may not be sure
of where you belong anymore.

But home is always there.

Because home...is not a place.

It's wherever
your passion takes you.

As you continue on your path..

...you will lose some friends
and gain new ones.

(Sheridan)
The process is painful

but...often necessary.

They will change
and you will change

because life is change.

From time to time..

...they must find their own way

and that way
may not be yours.

Enjoy them
for what they are.

And remember them
for what they were.

There's not much left.

Except...I believe..

I really do believe
that sooner or later

no matter what happens..

...things do work out.

Oh, we have hard times.
We suffer.

We lose loved ones.

[smirks]
The road is never easy.

It was never meant
to be easy.

But in the long run..

...if you stay true
to what you believe..

...things do work out.

Always...be willing to fight
for what you believe in.

It doesn't matter
if a thousand people

agree with you or one person
agrees with you.

It doesn't matter
if you stand completely alone.

Fight for what you believe.

Which brings me to the..

...first piece of advice
my dad ever gave me

and now I'm giving it to you.

Never--

Never start a fight
but always finish it.

finish it.

[clicks button]

I have a piece of advice
for you.

- Hmm?
- Get some sleep.

I think I'll do
just that.

It's been a long day.

I might even
sleep in tomorrow.

Mm. Good idea.

[chuckles]

Mm.

Have I told you today
how much I love you?

Yes.

But you may continue
to repeat it

for as long as you like.

Oh...I plan to.

Every day...that I can.
