1
00:00:17,142 --> 00:00:20,729
We'll swing back this way in a month,
make sure everything's okay.
2
00:00:20,896 --> 00:00:25,734
If those hijackers so much as blink
in your direction, yell. We'll be here.
3
00:00:25,901 --> 00:00:26,902
Roger, see you then.
4
00:00:27,069 --> 00:00:29,071
"Agamemnon" out.
5
00:00:31,073 --> 00:00:32,824
Initiate jump into hyperspace.
6
00:00:32,991 --> 00:00:34,993
Jump point, aye.
7
00:00:41,834 --> 00:00:46,004
Captain, we're getting a coded signal
from Earth Dome on Gold Channel 1 .
8
00:00:46,171 --> 00:00:50,008
It's Gen. Hague, Joint Chiefs of Staff.
9
00:00:51,426 --> 00:00:52,845
Patch it through to my office.
10
00:00:53,011 --> 00:00:54,847
Yes, sir.
11
00:00:57,015 --> 00:00:58,141
Receive.
12
00:00:58,350 --> 00:01:01,562
General, this is a surprise.
What can I do for you?
13
00:01:02,104 --> 00:01:06,066
In the last few days, a Minbari warship
"has been seen in Earth"-"controlled space."
14
00:01:06,233 --> 00:01:08,026
Sector 423 by 27.
15
00:01:08,193 --> 00:01:11,113
That would put it about two jumps
from Babylon 5.
16
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,325
Exactly. We have reason to believe
it may have hostile intent.
17
00:01:15,492 --> 00:01:17,286
I don't understand.
18
00:01:17,452 --> 00:01:19,454
The war's been over for more
than 10 years.
19
00:01:19,621 --> 00:01:22,124
Why would the Minbari government
launch an attack?
20
00:01:22,291 --> 00:01:25,836
They wouldn't. We have a renegade
warship on our hands.
21
00:01:26,044 --> 00:01:27,129
The "Trigati."
22
00:01:27,296 --> 00:01:31,341
Looks like it. We've had three separate
reports of sightings by ships in that area.
23
00:01:31,508 --> 00:01:32,801
Has it attacked any of them?
24
00:01:32,968 --> 00:01:35,721
Strangely enough, no, it hasn't.
Not yet anyway.
25
00:01:35,888 --> 00:01:37,514
But that may change
at any moment.
26
00:01:37,681 --> 00:01:40,142
The Minbari government dispatched
a second cruiser...
27
00:01:40,309 --> 00:01:43,228
"...in hopes of finding the" Trigati
before it does any damage.
28
00:01:43,395 --> 00:01:46,315
But it may be a while before
that cruiser arrives.
29
00:01:46,481 --> 00:01:47,733
When it does...
30
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:51,528
...I want you to make personal contact
with it and coordinate the search.
31
00:01:51,904 --> 00:01:54,531
General, with all due respect...
32
00:01:54,740 --> 00:01:58,202
...the last time I made personal contact
with a Minbari warship...
33
00:01:58,410 --> 00:02:00,120
...I sent it straight to hell.
34
00:02:00,287 --> 00:02:02,706
That's why I want you in that part
of space, captain.
35
00:02:02,873 --> 00:02:05,959
You've beaten them once,
and, if necessary, you can do so again.
36
00:02:06,251 --> 00:02:07,920
Tell no one about this.
37
00:02:08,086 --> 00:02:09,421
Understood.
38
00:02:09,588 --> 00:02:13,258
So I'm to take the "Agamemnon"
to Babylon 5 and coordinate with them.
39
00:02:13,425 --> 00:02:14,426
Is that correct?
40
00:02:14,927 --> 00:02:16,887
Not exactly.
41
00:02:17,095 --> 00:02:19,765
I need you to do one other job.
42
00:02:19,932 --> 00:02:22,351
And this comes straight
from the president.
43
00:02:25,646 --> 00:02:28,607
Status report.
Lt. Cmdr. Susan Ivanova recording.
44
00:02:28,774 --> 00:02:32,528
It is now eight days since the death
of Earth Alliance President Luis Santiago...
45
00:02:32,694 --> 00:02:38,242
...and five days since Cmdr. Sinclair
was recalled to Earth without explanation.
46
00:02:38,450 --> 00:02:41,203
And the whole place has gone
straight to hell.
47
00:02:41,370 --> 00:02:46,458
If the seating arrangement is changed, my
government will withdraw from the League!
48
00:02:50,045 --> 00:02:53,715
And as far as I'm concerned, the
transports can wait until the sun explodes!
49
00:02:53,882 --> 00:02:58,136
If you're not happy with the seating
arrangements, your seats will be moved...
50
00:02:58,303 --> 00:03:03,642
...outside, down the hall, across the
station and into the fusion reactor.
51
00:03:03,809 --> 00:03:07,729
Am I absolutely, perfectly clear on this?
52
00:03:11,650 --> 00:03:17,155
I can only conclude that I'm paying off
karma at a vastly accelerated rate.
53
00:03:17,656 --> 00:03:21,743
Security Chief Michael Garibaldi remains
in critical condition in Medlab.
54
00:03:21,910 --> 00:03:26,081
Dr. Franklin's done all he can,
but we still don't know if he'll recover.
55
00:03:27,833 --> 00:03:30,294
As for Ambassador Delenn...
56
00:03:30,502 --> 00:03:35,174
...well, something's going on
in her quarters. That's for sure.
57
00:03:38,010 --> 00:03:39,094
Ivanova.
58
00:03:39,261 --> 00:03:42,264
We've got a Gold Channel message
for you. It's Gen. Hague.
59
00:03:42,431 --> 00:03:44,766
I'll take it in the briefing room.
60
00:03:50,189 --> 00:03:52,482
Computer, accept and decode
Gold Channel signal.
61
00:03:53,692 --> 00:03:54,651
General.
62
00:03:54,860 --> 00:03:56,987
Lieutenant commander.
63
00:03:57,196 --> 00:04:01,575
This may break the chain of command,
but I felt I should deliver this news myself.
64
00:04:01,867 --> 00:04:04,703
Your commanding officer,
Cmdr. Sinclair...
65
00:04:04,870 --> 00:04:10,959
...will not be returning to Babylon 5.
He's being reassigned, permanently.
66
00:04:14,213 --> 00:04:19,259
The Babylon Project was our last,
best hope for peace.
67
00:04:19,426 --> 00:04:24,515
"A self"-"contained world, five miles long,"
located in neutral territory.
68
00:04:26,391 --> 00:04:28,060
A place of commerce and diplomacy...
69
00:04:28,227 --> 00:04:32,189
...for a quarter of a million
humans and aliens.
70
00:04:34,107 --> 00:04:39,112
A shining beacon in space,
all alone in the night.
71
00:04:39,530 --> 00:04:42,783
It was the dawn
of the Third Age of mankind.
72
00:04:42,950 --> 00:04:46,245
The year the Great War
came upon us all.
73
00:04:47,663 --> 00:04:51,333
This is the story of the last
of the Babylon stations.
74
00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:56,338
The year is 2259.
The name of the place is Babylon 5.
75
00:05:45,637 --> 00:05:48,223
What do you mean you're reassigning
Cmdr. Sinclair?
76
00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:49,558
Reassigning him where?
77
00:05:49,725 --> 00:05:51,351
To the Minbari Homeworld.
78
00:05:51,643 --> 00:05:55,522
He'll be the first Earth ambassador
allowed permanent residence there.
79
00:05:55,689 --> 00:05:58,233
The president's been trying to find
someone suitable...
80
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,819
...and the Minbari
specifically requested Sinclair.
81
00:06:01,028 --> 00:06:02,029
But why him?
82
00:06:02,196 --> 00:06:04,406
That information is
"on a need"-"to"-"know basis."
83
00:06:04,740 --> 00:06:07,034
I've briefed Capt. Sheridan
on the situation.
84
00:06:07,201 --> 00:06:09,828
-Capt. Sheridan. John Sheridan?
-"I believe you know him."
85
00:06:09,995 --> 00:06:12,414
Yes, I served under him
at the transfer point off lo.
86
00:06:12,581 --> 00:06:14,833
He's a good man and a fine officer...
87
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,669
...but it will be a controversial choice.
If I may ask--
88
00:06:17,836 --> 00:06:21,465
You may not. Any further questions
will have to go through your new CO.
89
00:06:21,673 --> 00:06:23,800
Good day, lieutenant commander.
90
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,359
So...
91
00:06:40,943 --> 00:06:43,362
...she's done it, hasn't she?
92
00:06:43,695 --> 00:06:45,614
She's in there.
93
00:06:46,365 --> 00:06:47,991
We told her to wait.
94
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,620
"Prophecy will attend to itself,"
we told her.
95
00:06:55,290 --> 00:06:58,252
Now we are committed to the path.
96
00:06:59,670 --> 00:07:02,047
I have spoken with the other members
of the Council.
97
00:07:02,589 --> 00:07:05,133
The "Trigati" has been seen in this sector.
98
00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:09,221
If it appears, you must go to the humans
and tell them what we've told you.
99
00:07:09,638 --> 00:07:12,140
It's time they knew the truth.
100
00:07:14,059 --> 00:07:15,644
About the new captain--
101
00:07:15,811 --> 00:07:18,146
I want an honor guard present
when his ship docks.
102
00:07:18,313 --> 00:07:19,982
-We've barely got time--
-He's here.
103
00:07:20,148 --> 00:07:22,401
-What?
-His Earthforce transport just docked.
104
00:07:22,568 --> 00:07:24,778
There was a miscommunication
about the time.
105
00:07:30,409 --> 00:07:32,369
-Hello, sir.
-Hi.
106
00:07:41,587 --> 00:07:43,505
Welcome aboard, sir.
107
00:07:44,506 --> 00:07:47,050
I'm authorized to surrender command
of Babylon 5 to you.
108
00:07:47,342 --> 00:07:50,387
Thank you, lieutenant commander.
I accept command.
109
00:07:50,596 --> 00:07:52,806
There seems to be a problem
with the unloaders.
110
00:07:53,682 --> 00:07:55,601
Could my bags be delivered
to my quarters?
111
00:07:55,767 --> 00:07:56,894
Of course.
112
00:07:57,102 --> 00:07:58,353
Thank you.
113
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,814
Would you like a quick tour
of the facilities?
114
00:08:00,981 --> 00:08:04,026
-Yes, absolutely.
-Great. Right this way.
115
00:08:07,529 --> 00:08:09,698
It's good to see you again.
How was your flight?
116
00:08:09,865 --> 00:08:13,952
Fine. They actually had fresh
oranges on the transport.
117
00:08:14,119 --> 00:08:17,372
I haven't had an orange
in almost two years.
118
00:08:17,539 --> 00:08:18,957
I used to dream about them.
119
00:08:19,124 --> 00:08:23,754
Grapes, nectarines, plums,
the black ones, not the red ones.
120
00:08:23,962 --> 00:08:27,299
I mean, it's amazing what two years
on the Rim can do to you.
121
00:08:27,466 --> 00:08:31,845
I have a hunch I'll be spending a lot
of time in Hydroponics.
122
00:08:32,012 --> 00:08:36,475
On the way in, I read the station reports,
trying to catch up on everything.
123
00:08:36,642 --> 00:08:37,726
What's our status?
124
00:08:37,893 --> 00:08:40,479
Chief of security is
in critical condition in Medlab.
125
00:08:40,646 --> 00:08:43,607
He thinks there's a conspiracy
concerning the president's death.
126
00:08:43,774 --> 00:08:46,735
Ambassador G'Kar has
mysteriously vanished.
127
00:08:46,902 --> 00:08:51,156
We still don't know what Ambassador
Kosh looks like inside his encounter suit.
128
00:08:51,323 --> 00:08:54,284
And Ambassador Delenn is in a cocoon.
129
00:08:54,910 --> 00:08:56,745
A cocoon?
130
00:08:58,497 --> 00:09:00,749
As in a moth or a butterfly?
131
00:09:00,916 --> 00:09:01,959
Yes, sir.
132
00:09:02,167 --> 00:09:03,752
About yea high.
133
00:09:05,838 --> 00:09:08,674
Interesting place you have here.
134
00:09:08,841 --> 00:09:10,509
Yes, sir.
135
00:09:18,517 --> 00:09:20,102
Show me this place.
136
00:09:21,436 --> 00:09:25,107
Babylon 5 is divided into several
different sections.
137
00:09:25,274 --> 00:09:31,113
Green Sector is for diplomatic personnel
and is closed to unauthorized personnel.
138
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,240
Red Sector is for commerce....
139
00:09:35,951 --> 00:09:38,954
And this will be your quarters.
I hope it's satisfactory?
140
00:09:39,121 --> 00:09:42,124
It's fine. Fine.
141
00:09:42,291 --> 00:09:46,211
It's certainly a lot bigger
than what I'm used to.
142
00:09:46,378 --> 00:09:48,463
Does this place come with a shower?
143
00:09:48,630 --> 00:09:52,176
I mean a real, live, honest-to-God shower
with running water?
144
00:09:52,384 --> 00:09:56,305
Executive suites and command quarters
have showers with honest-to-God water.
145
00:09:56,471 --> 00:09:57,723
The rest get vibe showers.
146
00:09:57,890 --> 00:10:01,226
Our water reclamation system can't
handle much more than that.
147
00:10:01,393 --> 00:10:05,022
A shower. I may come to like it here.
148
00:10:05,230 --> 00:10:07,858
Which brings me to something
I've been wanting to ask you.
149
00:10:08,066 --> 00:10:10,027
It's kind of awkward.
150
00:10:10,235 --> 00:10:12,696
You haven't worried
about being diplomatic before.
151
00:10:13,238 --> 00:10:15,991
Don't disappoint me by starting now.
152
00:10:16,158 --> 00:10:18,994
When I heard about the change
in command, I figured we'd get...
153
00:10:19,161 --> 00:10:22,956
...a high-level bureaucrat or an admiral
or an ambassador, and--
154
00:10:23,123 --> 00:10:24,750
And why me?
155
00:10:25,501 --> 00:10:27,336
Yeah, I wondered the same thing.
156
00:10:27,503 --> 00:10:29,671
I was the late president's first choice...
157
00:10:29,838 --> 00:10:32,508
...to replace Sinclair in case
anything happened.
158
00:10:32,674 --> 00:10:37,012
While commanding the "Agamemnon,"
I worked with many Non-Aligned Worlds:
159
00:10:37,179 --> 00:10:41,725
Centauri, Narns, even a few Minbari.
160
00:10:42,184 --> 00:10:44,102
That's what I was concerned about.
161
00:10:44,269 --> 00:10:48,857
The Minbari aren't going to be thrilled
to find out you're running Babylon 5.
162
00:10:49,024 --> 00:10:54,196
-I hear they still call you "StarKiller."
-It was a long time ago, 12 years.
163
00:10:54,947 --> 00:10:56,823
Maybe they've forgotten about it by now.
164
00:10:58,700 --> 00:11:01,745
Yeah, I know. I don't believe it either.
165
00:11:02,621 --> 00:11:04,581
Well, one thing for sure.
166
00:11:04,790 --> 00:11:09,711
I'll be relying on you pretty heavily these
next few weeks until I'm up to speed.
167
00:11:09,878 --> 00:11:12,172
It certainly couldn't be worse
than the last week.
168
00:11:12,798 --> 00:11:15,133
With President Santiago's death
and everything.
169
00:11:15,551 --> 00:11:16,802
How's the crew handling it?
170
00:11:16,969 --> 00:11:18,387
They're still pretty shocked.
171
00:11:19,054 --> 00:11:21,348
I don't think the reality of it
has sunken in yet.
172
00:11:21,557 --> 00:11:22,724
And you?
173
00:11:31,233 --> 00:11:33,902
I don't know. I just....
174
00:11:34,069 --> 00:11:39,616
I just keep seeing Earthforce One blowing
up over and over again in my dreams.
175
00:11:41,201 --> 00:11:46,290
You know, all my life I thought that I could
handle everything and fix any problem.
176
00:11:46,498 --> 00:11:49,585
But when I saw that, I just...
177
00:11:49,751 --> 00:11:54,173
...realized I couldn't do anything
to stop it.
178
00:11:54,339 --> 00:11:59,178
-I don't think I've ever felt so helpless.
-I know. I felt the same way.
179
00:11:59,344 --> 00:12:03,223
And ever since then, the crew's needed
me to be strong for them, and I've tried.
180
00:12:04,099 --> 00:12:06,435
I don't like to show weakness.
181
00:12:06,602 --> 00:12:09,021
I guess I get it from my father.
182
00:12:09,813 --> 00:12:11,940
With the madness of trying
to run this place...
183
00:12:12,107 --> 00:12:16,778
...and the commander being called back
to Earth and the ambassadors yelling....
184
00:12:18,363 --> 00:12:19,781
I don't know, I just....
185
00:12:20,866 --> 00:12:23,118
I just hope I've done okay by them.
186
00:12:25,204 --> 00:12:27,289
Let's just say, I'm very happy to see you.
187
00:12:27,456 --> 00:12:28,874
I appreciate that.
188
00:12:30,125 --> 00:12:32,294
And coming from you, it means a lot.
189
00:12:33,795 --> 00:12:36,715
Also, the crew is really looking forward
to meeting you.
190
00:12:36,882 --> 00:12:38,634
They've heard all about you...
191
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,720
...and right about now, they could
use something to smile about.
192
00:12:41,887 --> 00:12:43,472
Then we won't keep them waiting.
193
00:12:43,639 --> 00:12:46,183
I'll take a shower, we'll head
to Command and Control...
194
00:12:46,391 --> 00:12:48,143
...and I'll give my good-luck speech.
195
00:12:48,435 --> 00:12:49,436
Sir?
196
00:12:49,603 --> 00:12:53,065
It's the same speech I gave when I took
command on lo on the "Agamemnon."
197
00:12:53,482 --> 00:12:57,653
It's sort of my good-luck charm.
198
00:12:57,903 --> 00:13:00,781
I always give it within 24 hours
of taking on a new assignment.
199
00:13:00,989 --> 00:13:04,993
I look forward to hearing it. Can I meet you
in C & C? I have to do something.
200
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,913
Of course. See you there in 20 minutes.
201
00:13:14,086 --> 00:13:16,171
In Valen's name, Kalain.
202
00:13:16,338 --> 00:13:18,841
Kalain, wait!
203
00:13:19,424 --> 00:13:20,759
Kalain!
204
00:13:21,844 --> 00:13:24,179
We do not harm our own kind, Kalain.
We never have.
205
00:13:24,346 --> 00:13:26,265
Perhaps it is time to start.
206
00:13:26,431 --> 00:13:31,270
The Grey Council has betrayed us.
What does a little blood matter now?
207
00:13:31,436 --> 00:13:32,771
No one has been betrayed.
208
00:13:32,938 --> 00:13:35,566
No! No lies.
209
00:13:35,774 --> 00:13:38,360
We have intercepted a message
from the humans to Minbar.
210
00:13:38,527 --> 00:13:41,947
We know they have chosen Sheridan
the StarKiller to lead this place.
211
00:13:42,114 --> 00:13:43,115
It is an obscenity!
212
00:13:43,282 --> 00:13:44,700
We protested. They ignored us.
213
00:13:44,867 --> 00:13:49,705
Satai Delenn, did she also ignore you?
214
00:13:49,872 --> 00:13:50,873
How do you know?
215
00:13:51,039 --> 00:13:52,958
We have supporters even
among the Council.
216
00:13:53,125 --> 00:13:56,545
They tell us that Sinclair is now
on our world.
217
00:13:56,712 --> 00:13:57,713
He is an ambassador.
218
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,298
So you say.
219
00:13:59,464 --> 00:14:05,429
But the Grey Council never tells
anyone the whole truth, does it?
220
00:14:05,637 --> 00:14:09,975
If you value your life, leave now,
while you still can.
221
00:14:34,333 --> 00:14:36,585
Good afternoon, lieutenant commander.
222
00:14:36,752 --> 00:14:38,795
How'd you know it was me?
223
00:14:39,004 --> 00:14:43,634
Well, it's 2:45. You always come by
at 2:45, see how he's doing.
224
00:14:43,842 --> 00:14:46,929
So how's he doing?
225
00:14:47,095 --> 00:14:48,931
Still no change.
226
00:14:49,515 --> 00:14:51,350
Managed to stabilize his condition.
227
00:14:51,517 --> 00:14:54,144
Dropped in as many regen packs
as his body can handle.
228
00:14:54,311 --> 00:14:57,689
Now all we can do is wait and
see if he comes out of the coma.
229
00:14:57,856 --> 00:15:00,859
Could be hours, days, weeks.
230
00:15:01,276 --> 00:15:02,819
Years?
231
00:15:03,028 --> 00:15:04,613
Never?
232
00:15:05,155 --> 00:15:06,156
Yeah.
233
00:15:06,698 --> 00:15:09,535
So all we can do is keep him
hooked up like this forever?
234
00:15:10,536 --> 00:15:13,163
Well, the human body is an amazing thing.
235
00:15:14,039 --> 00:15:15,999
It can cure itself...
236
00:15:16,208 --> 00:15:19,545
...or it can simply decide that
the world is too painful to deal with...
237
00:15:19,711 --> 00:15:23,465
...and won't cooperate no matter
how hard you try to heal it.
238
00:15:23,632 --> 00:15:28,095
That debate is going on somewhere
in Garibaldi's body right now.
239
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,556
Just gonna have to wait
and see who wins.
240
00:15:31,056 --> 00:15:33,892
Well, then, I'll say a prayer
for him tonight.
241
00:15:34,059 --> 00:15:35,978
He's agnostic.
242
00:15:36,144 --> 00:15:38,480
Then I'll say half a prayer.
243
00:15:45,821 --> 00:15:51,410
It was an early Earth president, Abraham
Lincoln, who best described our current--
244
00:15:51,577 --> 00:15:54,246
Captain, they're ready for you.
245
00:15:54,997 --> 00:15:56,748
Good.
246
00:15:59,835 --> 00:16:01,587
Captain on deck.
247
00:16:06,425 --> 00:16:08,177
As you were.
248
00:16:10,846 --> 00:16:14,850
When I was 21, I visited Tibet.
249
00:16:15,017 --> 00:16:17,936
I went to see the new Dalai Lama.
250
00:16:18,103 --> 00:16:23,859
You do that sort of thing when you're
21 and the son of a diplomatic envoy.
251
00:16:24,026 --> 00:16:26,695
We had a simple dinner:
252
00:16:26,862 --> 00:16:31,909
Rice, raisins, carrots,
steamed, not boiled...
253
00:16:32,117 --> 00:16:34,036
...and green tea.
254
00:16:34,536 --> 00:16:36,538
When it was over...
255
00:16:36,705 --> 00:16:39,041
...he looked at me and said:
256
00:16:40,292 --> 00:16:42,711
"Do you understand?"
257
00:16:44,046 --> 00:16:46,548
I said, "No." I didn't.
258
00:16:48,175 --> 00:16:50,886
"A good beginning," he said.
259
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:56,600
"You'll be even better when you begin to
understand what you do not understand."
260
00:16:58,727 --> 00:17:02,272
After reading some of your reports...
261
00:17:02,481 --> 00:17:07,069
...I begin to understand what I don't
understand about Babylon 5.
262
00:17:07,819 --> 00:17:12,658
But I couldn't wish for a more capable...
263
00:17:13,659 --> 00:17:16,787
...and skilled group of people
to learn from.
264
00:17:19,915 --> 00:17:23,836
It was an early Earth president,
Abraham Lincoln...
265
00:17:24,002 --> 00:17:27,756
...who best described
our current situation.
266
00:17:27,923 --> 00:17:28,924
He said--
267
00:17:29,508 --> 00:17:31,301
"C & C, this is Security. We have a"--
268
00:17:32,469 --> 00:17:33,470
Is there a problem?
269
00:17:34,930 --> 00:17:37,933
I'm sorry to bother you, sir,
but I've got Security on the link.
270
00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:40,394
They've got a Minbari demanding
to speak to you.
271
00:17:40,686 --> 00:17:44,439
He won't say what it's about, only that
it involves the safety of this station.
272
00:17:44,606 --> 00:17:47,609
He says it's absolutely urgent.
273
00:17:48,193 --> 00:17:51,530
Well, we'll get back to this later.
274
00:17:51,697 --> 00:17:54,658
There's plenty of time for speeches.
275
00:17:54,867 --> 00:17:56,618
Carry on.
276
00:17:57,035 --> 00:17:58,787
Lieutenant commander.
277
00:18:01,123 --> 00:18:02,541
Hey! Hey, hold it right there!
278
00:18:02,708 --> 00:18:06,420
That section's off-limits to everyone
but station personnel and diplomatic staff.
279
00:18:06,587 --> 00:18:08,422
I'm sorry. I seem to be lost.
280
00:18:08,714 --> 00:18:10,048
I'm looking for Brown 2.
281
00:18:10,591 --> 00:18:13,177
You're way off. You want
the core shuttle. It's that way.
282
00:18:13,385 --> 00:18:15,304
I see. Thank you. I'll be on my way.
283
00:18:15,470 --> 00:18:17,097
After I see your Identicard.
284
00:18:22,644 --> 00:18:24,062
Hey, wait a minute. This card--
285
00:18:25,981 --> 00:18:27,733
His name is Kalain.
286
00:18:28,066 --> 00:18:32,821
He was second-in-command on a flagship
cruiser during the war with your people.
287
00:18:32,988 --> 00:18:36,491
He has not been seen
since the end of the war.
288
00:18:36,658 --> 00:18:38,994
Why do you think he's here
to cause us a problem?
289
00:18:39,161 --> 00:18:42,122
I have my reasons. I would not
be bringing this to you otherwise.
290
00:18:42,289 --> 00:18:44,249
If you arrange to have
him apprehended...
291
00:18:44,416 --> 00:18:47,669
...I will have him picked up by others
and conveyed to Minbar.
292
00:18:47,836 --> 00:18:50,547
You said he was second-in-command
of a Minbari cruiser.
293
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,676
-Which one?
-I don't see what that has to do with this.
294
00:18:55,093 --> 00:18:56,261
Was it the "Trigati"?
295
00:18:58,472 --> 00:18:59,473
What's the "Trigati"?
296
00:19:00,265 --> 00:19:03,185
It is not something we like to talk about.
297
00:19:07,356 --> 00:19:09,399
At the end of the war...
298
00:19:09,608 --> 00:19:12,444
...when our ships were ordered
to surrender...
299
00:19:12,611 --> 00:19:16,198
...one of our war leaders, Sineval,
took his own life rather than obey...
300
00:19:16,448 --> 00:19:19,910
...and became a martyr to his own crew.
301
00:19:20,869 --> 00:19:23,288
Kalain assumed command.
302
00:19:23,455 --> 00:19:27,626
And as a final act of protest, they and the
cruiser disappeared into self-imposed exile.
303
00:19:28,210 --> 00:19:29,878
Over the years, we've heard rumors...
304
00:19:30,045 --> 00:19:32,965
...of a Minbari cruiser sighted
where it shouldn't have been.
305
00:19:33,131 --> 00:19:35,843
We always figured it was the "Trigati"...
306
00:19:36,009 --> 00:19:37,469
...but we could never prove it.
307
00:19:37,803 --> 00:19:42,724
They believe that they have been betrayed
by their own world and yours.
308
00:19:42,891 --> 00:19:46,854
Kalain's presence here could indicate
that they mean to come out of retirement.
309
00:19:50,983 --> 00:19:53,402
Something I don't understand.
310
00:19:54,486 --> 00:19:57,739
You said you're with the Minbari
government, the Ministry of Culture.
311
00:19:58,031 --> 00:19:59,032
Yes, that's right.
312
00:19:59,408 --> 00:20:01,660
So how does someone
in the Ministry of Culture...
313
00:20:01,827 --> 00:20:04,913
...know a high-ranking member
of the warrior caste...
314
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,708
...well enough to recognize him
12 years later?
315
00:20:08,667 --> 00:20:14,006
I would answer your question
if I recognized your authority.
316
00:20:14,173 --> 00:20:17,843
Unlike your predecessor, my government
was not consulted on your appointment.
317
00:20:18,093 --> 00:20:22,264
The president feels the Minbari had
too much influence over an Earth outpost.
318
00:20:22,431 --> 00:20:23,432
Times change.
319
00:20:23,599 --> 00:20:25,142
The day a man such as yourself...
320
00:20:25,350 --> 00:20:29,104
...is given a position of this importance
is a dark day indeed.
321
00:20:29,271 --> 00:20:33,275
We lost many of our best warriors
because of you.
322
00:20:34,276 --> 00:20:36,695
And we do not soon forget such things.
323
00:20:37,863 --> 00:20:42,159
If there is a doom on this station,
it is because you brought it here!
324
00:20:46,455 --> 00:20:51,210
Oh, he's Grey Council. He's gotta be.
Only someone in the Grey Council...
325
00:20:51,543 --> 00:20:54,796
...would've known someone that high
in the Minbari warrior caste.
326
00:20:54,963 --> 00:20:57,633
I mean, they do not normally mix.
327
00:20:59,134 --> 00:21:01,136
And you are right.
328
00:21:02,054 --> 00:21:03,805
They're not happy to see me here.
329
00:21:04,890 --> 00:21:08,018
They're a prideful people,
and the "Black Star" was their flagship.
330
00:21:09,561 --> 00:21:11,230
That's why it made a good target.
331
00:21:11,647 --> 00:21:13,148
How did you take her out?
332
00:21:13,315 --> 00:21:16,527
I've heard it was a new maneuver,
but I've never heard the specifics.
333
00:21:16,985 --> 00:21:21,114
There wasn't much style
or finesse involved.
334
00:21:21,740 --> 00:21:24,201
She was huge, monstrous.
335
00:21:24,409 --> 00:21:28,330
We tried everything, but none of our
weapons would lock on to their ships.
336
00:21:28,497 --> 00:21:31,250
Some kind of stealth technology.
337
00:21:31,917 --> 00:21:38,173
So I hit on the idea of mining the asteroid
field between Jupiter and Mars.
338
00:21:38,340 --> 00:21:41,760
A fusion bomb doesn't have to lock on to
anything if it's close enough.
339
00:21:43,428 --> 00:21:48,141
It took out the "Black Star" and three
heavy cruisers before they could escape.
340
00:21:51,603 --> 00:21:56,441
It was the only real victory we had in the
war, and I am not about to apologize for it.
341
00:21:57,985 --> 00:22:03,365
He said Kalain feels his world
has betrayed him.
342
00:22:03,615 --> 00:22:05,534
If that's true...
343
00:22:06,702 --> 00:22:10,330
...wouldn't your first target be
the representative of that world?
344
00:22:10,497 --> 00:22:11,498
Delenn.
345
00:22:13,375 --> 00:22:15,043
Get up.
346
00:22:19,965 --> 00:22:21,300
She's in there, isn't she?
347
00:22:22,718 --> 00:22:25,512
Move aside. Move aside!
348
00:22:26,471 --> 00:22:28,390
Freeze!
349
00:22:29,224 --> 00:22:31,226
And put the gun down.
350
00:22:32,811 --> 00:22:35,522
Put the gun down. We won't hurt you.
351
00:22:35,981 --> 00:22:39,818
If you are going to kill me, then do so.
352
00:22:39,985 --> 00:22:42,863
Otherwise, I have
considerable work to do.
353
00:22:57,419 --> 00:22:59,004
You are the new commanding officer?
354
00:22:59,171 --> 00:23:01,173
Capt. John Sheridan, Earthforce.
355
00:23:01,340 --> 00:23:04,092
Lennier, of the Third Fane of Chudomo.
356
00:23:07,513 --> 00:23:10,599
Ambassador Delenn is indisposed
at the moment.
357
00:23:10,766 --> 00:23:12,768
Perhaps you would come back later.
358
00:23:13,352 --> 00:23:15,270
Much later.
359
00:23:19,316 --> 00:23:21,109
Of course.
360
00:23:23,862 --> 00:23:25,531
Let me get this straight.
361
00:23:25,697 --> 00:23:28,283
A high-ranking member
of the Minbari warrior caste...
362
00:23:28,450 --> 00:23:31,703
...who no one has seen
in nearly 12 years...
363
00:23:31,870 --> 00:23:33,455
...suddenly appears...
364
00:23:33,622 --> 00:23:39,878
...and, for no apparent reason, breaks into
Ambassador Delenn's quarters with a gun.
365
00:23:40,045 --> 00:23:43,131
Now, if you were looking
for the Minbari tourist bureau...
366
00:23:43,298 --> 00:23:47,302
...you were just a little off-course,
wouldn't you say?
367
00:23:47,469 --> 00:23:49,638
The curious thing is...
368
00:23:50,639 --> 00:23:53,141
...you don't finish the job.
369
00:23:53,642 --> 00:23:56,353
You could've killed both of them
and gotten out of there.
370
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,274
But instead, we find you standing there,
practically waiting for us.
371
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,902
Everyone knows Minbari
do not kill Minbari.
372
00:24:04,069 --> 00:24:06,113
Then why are you here?
373
00:24:06,321 --> 00:24:08,657
Perhaps everyone is wrong.
374
00:24:09,575 --> 00:24:12,161
Maybe you never intended
to kill them at all.
375
00:24:12,327 --> 00:24:14,538
Perhaps something else
is going on.
376
00:24:14,705 --> 00:24:16,540
Perhaps you are the problem.
377
00:24:16,707 --> 00:24:18,542
What's that supposed to mean?
378
00:24:20,669 --> 00:24:22,337
Captain, we're not getting anywhere.
379
00:24:22,504 --> 00:24:24,381
Let's wrap it up and try again tomorrow.
380
00:24:24,548 --> 00:24:26,508
One last thing.
381
00:24:27,759 --> 00:24:30,429
I'm told that after the death
of your commanding officer...
382
00:24:30,596 --> 00:24:34,224
...you took command
of a Minbari war cruiser.
383
00:24:34,433 --> 00:24:36,685
But if you're here...
384
00:24:36,852 --> 00:24:37,895
...where's your ship?
385
00:24:48,947 --> 00:24:50,407
Captain!
386
00:24:51,116 --> 00:24:54,745
I apologize. I was rude earlier.
387
00:24:54,953 --> 00:24:57,372
There is something we need to discuss.
388
00:24:57,539 --> 00:25:00,209
Especially in light of Kalain's presence.
389
00:25:00,375 --> 00:25:03,295
It concerns the reason you
were sent here...
390
00:25:03,962 --> 00:25:06,215
...the relocation of Cmdr. Sinclair...
391
00:25:06,798 --> 00:25:09,676
...and the reason we surrendered
at the Battle of the Line.
392
00:25:16,391 --> 00:25:19,728
After three years, the holy war
that began...
393
00:25:19,895 --> 00:25:24,858
...when our leader was killed by an Earth
explorer division was almost over.
394
00:25:25,567 --> 00:25:28,278
To avenge Dukhat's death,
we had pursued your forces...
395
00:25:28,487 --> 00:25:30,405
...all the way back to your Homeworld.
396
00:25:31,156 --> 00:25:36,411
The few surviving Earth ships that were
ordered to defend your world at any cost...
397
00:25:36,578 --> 00:25:38,413
...were not an obstacle.
398
00:25:38,580 --> 00:25:42,626
The Grey Council had come to oversee
the final victory of our forces.
399
00:25:43,836 --> 00:25:46,255
They fight bravely.
400
00:25:46,755 --> 00:25:50,801
They cannot harm our ships,
but they continue to try.
401
00:25:51,009 --> 00:25:53,762
Whether they fight or not,
they know they will die anyway.
402
00:25:53,929 --> 00:25:59,685
So really, is this bravery
or simple desperation?
403
00:25:59,852 --> 00:26:02,771
Perhaps they are the same thing.
404
00:26:05,774 --> 00:26:08,944
We should bring one of them aboard
for questioning.
405
00:26:09,111 --> 00:26:12,531
If our next step is the final assault
on their world...
406
00:26:12,698 --> 00:26:14,449
...we must know their defenses.
407
00:26:14,700 --> 00:26:17,161
Very well, Delenn. Choose.
408
00:26:17,369 --> 00:26:18,996
But quickly.
409
00:26:19,204 --> 00:26:21,165
We are fast running out of candidates.
410
00:26:23,292 --> 00:26:25,002
That one.
411
00:26:33,468 --> 00:26:37,806
This was the first time the Grey Council
would have direct contact with a human.
412
00:26:37,973 --> 00:26:40,893
In this case, Sinclair.
413
00:26:41,476 --> 00:26:44,980
He was tortured, interrogated, scanned.
414
00:26:45,147 --> 00:26:49,318
During the course of the scan, the Council
discovered something terrible.
415
00:26:49,484 --> 00:26:52,654
At first they refused to believe it,
so they took in other humans...
416
00:26:52,821 --> 00:26:56,408
...and had them scanned as well.
But it was true.
417
00:26:57,159 --> 00:26:58,577
What was true?
418
00:27:01,497 --> 00:27:05,501
It is our belief that every generation
of Minbari is reborn...
419
00:27:05,667 --> 00:27:07,211
...in each following generation.
420
00:27:07,669 --> 00:27:13,008
Remove those souls and the whole
suffers. We are diminished.
421
00:27:13,175 --> 00:27:15,511
Over the last 2000 years...
422
00:27:15,677 --> 00:27:19,723
...there have been fewer Minbari
born into each generation.
423
00:27:19,932 --> 00:27:25,687
And those who are born do not seem
equal to those who came before.
424
00:27:25,854 --> 00:27:30,692
It is almost as if our greater souls
have been disappearing.
425
00:27:30,859 --> 00:27:35,906
At the Battle of the Line, we discovered
where our souls were going.
426
00:27:36,782 --> 00:27:38,534
They were going to you.
427
00:27:38,700 --> 00:27:41,119
Minbari souls are being reborn...
428
00:27:41,286 --> 00:27:45,457
...in part or in full in human bodies.
429
00:27:45,624 --> 00:27:48,752
So you stopped the war in order
to avoid harming your own souls?
430
00:27:48,961 --> 00:27:50,295
Yes.
431
00:27:50,462 --> 00:27:55,217
But the Council knew that our people and
yours were not ready for this information.
432
00:27:55,384 --> 00:27:57,803
It could unravel our entire society.
433
00:27:57,970 --> 00:28:02,891
So we could not tell our generals
the reason for the surrender.
434
00:28:03,058 --> 00:28:06,395
We had all memory of the examination
erased from Sinclair's mind...
435
00:28:06,562 --> 00:28:08,730
...and we let him go.
436
00:28:09,231 --> 00:28:10,899
It has been our secret.
437
00:28:11,066 --> 00:28:12,609
Now it is yours.
438
00:28:12,818 --> 00:28:14,027
It must be kept.
439
00:28:14,653 --> 00:28:17,614
Then why break the silence now?
I mean, why tell us?
440
00:28:17,823 --> 00:28:19,867
Because changes are coming.
441
00:28:20,325 --> 00:28:22,411
Cmdr. Sinclair was the first.
442
00:28:22,578 --> 00:28:24,037
There will be more.
443
00:28:27,082 --> 00:28:28,083
-Yes.
-"Captain..."
444
00:28:28,250 --> 00:28:30,419
...something's coming
through the jumpgate.
445
00:28:34,923 --> 00:28:36,925
It's a Minbari cruiser.
446
00:28:37,092 --> 00:28:39,761
Her gun ports are open,
and target systems are operational.
447
00:28:39,928 --> 00:28:43,182
She's on an attack vector.
Repeat, she's on attack vector.
448
00:28:48,854 --> 00:28:50,939
I had this wonderful dream
the other night.
449
00:28:51,106 --> 00:28:55,444
We were in bed in this beautiful hotel,
rose and mint wallpaper.
450
00:28:55,611 --> 00:28:57,279
-Hey, Warren.
-It was sunny, and--
451
00:28:57,446 --> 00:28:58,989
Check this out.
452
00:28:59,198 --> 00:29:00,324
Hold on just a sec.
453
00:29:06,371 --> 00:29:09,958
It's getting so a man can't even enjoy
a letter from home anymore.
454
00:29:10,792 --> 00:29:12,461
What?
455
00:29:13,545 --> 00:29:14,630
What the hell?
456
00:29:16,381 --> 00:29:18,800
Red alert, all quarters.
Have they hailed us yet?
457
00:29:18,967 --> 00:29:21,512
Yes, sir. Waiting your arrival.
458
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,640
Activate defense grid,
put all squadrons on standby.
459
00:29:24,806 --> 00:29:27,476
I don't want actions that might
be considered provocative.
460
00:29:27,643 --> 00:29:31,146
-Scrambling fighters.
-Move it, everybody! Move it! Move it!
461
00:29:32,314 --> 00:29:37,736
This is a red alert. All stations,
this is a red alert.
462
00:29:37,903 --> 00:29:42,991
This is a red alert. All stations,
this is a red alert.
463
00:29:45,577 --> 00:29:48,914
This is Capt. John Sheridan,
Earth Alliance Station Babylon 5.
464
00:29:49,081 --> 00:29:50,207
What can I do for you?
465
00:29:50,415 --> 00:29:54,169
This is Alit Deeron of the Minbari
"war cruiser" Trigati.
466
00:29:54,336 --> 00:29:58,757
You have illegally arrested and detained
the captain of this vessel.
467
00:29:58,924 --> 00:30:03,011
Your captain assaulted one of my crew
and was caught in an attempted murder.
468
00:30:03,178 --> 00:30:07,349
None of your people were killed.
No Minbari was killed.
469
00:30:07,516 --> 00:30:12,062
You have not been harmed.
You will release our captain.
470
00:30:12,229 --> 00:30:13,522
And if we refuse?
471
00:30:14,273 --> 00:30:15,858
Captain, she's launching fighters.
472
00:30:20,279 --> 00:30:22,865
Zeta Wing", prepare to launch."
473
00:30:23,031 --> 00:30:24,241
We're clear.
474
00:30:25,534 --> 00:30:26,618
"Godspeed," Zeta Wing.
475
00:30:32,457 --> 00:30:34,585
Deeron, recall your fighters.
476
00:30:34,793 --> 00:30:37,921
Any attack on this station will
be considered an act of war.
477
00:30:38,130 --> 00:30:41,091
The war has already begun, captain.
478
00:30:41,466 --> 00:30:45,220
All that remains now is honor and death.
479
00:30:46,305 --> 00:30:48,891
And I thought I was a pessimist.
480
00:30:49,725 --> 00:30:51,101
It's odd she would say that.
481
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:56,481
So far, no one's been killed, so there is
no reason for this to escalate, unless....
482
00:30:58,317 --> 00:30:59,443
Oh, hell!
483
00:30:59,651 --> 00:31:01,612
-Get me Security, fast!
-On it.
484
00:31:01,820 --> 00:31:05,741
They're trying to do anything they can
to start a shooting war.
485
00:31:05,908 --> 00:31:11,038
But Kalain didn't kill
the security guard or any of us.
486
00:31:11,205 --> 00:31:15,667
And the "Trigati" didn't attack any of the
ships that have seen it the last few days.
487
00:31:15,834 --> 00:31:17,586
What ships?
488
00:31:18,045 --> 00:31:21,632
Sorry, I was under orders not to tell
anyone. I will explain everything later.
489
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,176
Captain, Security just linked in.
490
00:31:24,343 --> 00:31:26,178
Kalain is dead.
491
00:31:26,345 --> 00:31:29,181
-They say it looks like suicide.
-That's what I was afraid of.
492
00:31:29,348 --> 00:31:32,017
They want it to look like we're
provoking them into a war.
493
00:31:32,184 --> 00:31:34,978
But why? This whole bit
about us sharing Minbari souls?
494
00:31:35,145 --> 00:31:38,273
They weren't told. They don't know
they're not supposed to attack.
495
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,444
-Think they'd believe us if we told them?
-Minbari fighters coming at us.
496
00:31:42,611 --> 00:31:43,904
That answer your question?
497
00:31:44,947 --> 00:31:46,573
They're on attack vector.
498
00:31:46,740 --> 00:31:47,741
Closing fast.
499
00:31:48,033 --> 00:31:50,786
We don't have any choice.
500
00:31:50,953 --> 00:31:54,289
All fighters, intercept enemy craft
and engage.
501
00:31:54,456 --> 00:31:55,791
Confirmed, Babylon Control.
502
00:32:03,382 --> 00:32:05,050
-Those are our fighters?
-Yes, sir.
503
00:32:05,217 --> 00:32:06,844
And those are the Minbari fighters.
504
00:32:07,636 --> 00:32:09,638
The Minbari.
505
00:32:12,975 --> 00:32:14,935
What kind of tracking systems
are we using?
506
00:32:15,227 --> 00:32:17,813
Standard XB7 units. Why?
507
00:32:17,980 --> 00:32:21,358
That's the same kind we used during
the war, but that doesn't make sense.
508
00:32:21,525 --> 00:32:24,820
We shouldn't be able
to track them at all.
509
00:32:24,987 --> 00:32:26,822
What was that she said?
510
00:32:26,989 --> 00:32:31,326
"All that remains now is honor
and death."
511
00:32:34,163 --> 00:32:35,998
All fighters, hold position.
512
00:32:36,165 --> 00:32:38,876
What? If they hold position,
they're perfect targets.
513
00:32:39,042 --> 00:32:42,421
Zeta Squadron requesting
confirmation of standby order.
514
00:32:42,588 --> 00:32:44,089
Confirm the order.
515
00:32:45,340 --> 00:32:47,593
Confirm it, damn it!
516
00:32:47,759 --> 00:32:49,595
I know what I'm doing.
517
00:32:50,679 --> 00:32:55,559
All fighters, confirmed. Maintain position.
Do not advance. Repeat, do not advance.
518
00:33:00,439 --> 00:33:02,608
Can you deliver a narrow-band
transmission...
519
00:33:02,774 --> 00:33:04,610
...without the "Trigati" intercepting it?
520
00:33:04,776 --> 00:33:07,696
-We can adjust the laser delivery system--
-Do it.
521
00:33:07,863 --> 00:33:08,864
Open the jumpgate.
522
00:33:09,031 --> 00:33:13,535
Send this message in a tight-beam
transmission into hyperspace.
523
00:33:13,869 --> 00:33:15,329
Frequency and address.
524
00:33:15,621 --> 00:33:17,831
Enemy fighters at 30 kilometers
and closing.
525
00:33:18,332 --> 00:33:20,042
Activate jumpgate sequence.
526
00:33:20,209 --> 00:33:22,169
Jumpgate sequence, aye.
527
00:33:31,136 --> 00:33:34,139
A distress signal won't do any good.
No one can get to us in time.
528
00:33:35,390 --> 00:33:37,768
Come on, Babylon Control,
give us a break here.
529
00:33:37,935 --> 00:33:40,687
If we're not allowed to fire,
we're dead.
530
00:33:42,856 --> 00:33:44,900
Enemy at 10 kilometers.
531
00:33:45,067 --> 00:33:47,277
-Eight.
-Captain.
532
00:33:47,486 --> 00:33:49,404
Hold your fire.
533
00:33:49,571 --> 00:33:51,615
Continue to hold.
534
00:33:52,574 --> 00:33:54,493
What the hell?
535
00:34:00,874 --> 00:34:02,751
I don't understand. They didn't fire.
536
00:34:02,918 --> 00:34:05,420
They're looping back,
heading for the "Trigati."
537
00:34:05,587 --> 00:34:07,840
-Exactly.
-But how did you know they'd--?
538
00:34:08,006 --> 00:34:10,467
We've got something coming
through the jumpgate.
539
00:34:20,769 --> 00:34:23,188
That's why. They were waiting
for reinforcements.
540
00:34:23,355 --> 00:34:24,940
Negative.
541
00:34:25,858 --> 00:34:28,277
They're here because I called them.
542
00:34:28,610 --> 00:34:33,448
I knew the Minbari government had sent
another cruiser to look for the "Trigati."
543
00:34:33,615 --> 00:34:35,784
But since no one's seen it...
544
00:34:35,951 --> 00:34:38,078
...I figured they were waiting
in hyperspace...
545
00:34:38,245 --> 00:34:40,622
...until they heard
about another sighting.
546
00:34:40,789 --> 00:34:42,374
Looks like I was right.
547
00:34:42,541 --> 00:34:45,085
That doesn't explain how you knew
they wouldn't attack.
548
00:34:45,878 --> 00:34:47,838
We're monitoring a signal
from the cruiser.
549
00:34:48,046 --> 00:34:50,048
"They're ordering the" Trigati
to surrender.
550
00:34:50,799 --> 00:34:52,509
It's like I said.
551
00:34:52,718 --> 00:34:54,344
One problem during the war was...
552
00:34:54,553 --> 00:34:58,515
...that none of our weapon systems
could lock on to the Minbari vessels.
553
00:34:58,724 --> 00:35:04,563
They use some kind of stealth technology
we were never able to break.
554
00:35:04,730 --> 00:35:07,482
So how come all of a sudden
we can track them?
555
00:35:07,649 --> 00:35:08,859
They want to be destroyed?
556
00:35:09,651 --> 00:35:14,156
"All that remains is honor and death."
557
00:35:15,908 --> 00:35:19,745
They have been in exile for 12 years.
They can't go home.
558
00:35:19,912 --> 00:35:24,416
They can't surrender without being
dishonored and can't fight without a war.
559
00:35:24,583 --> 00:35:27,085
So by forcing us to attack...
560
00:35:27,252 --> 00:35:30,255
...by dying by human hands...
561
00:35:30,422 --> 00:35:31,673
...they become martyrs.
562
00:35:31,924 --> 00:35:35,469
And because you're known for having
fought them, you're the perfect target.
563
00:35:35,636 --> 00:35:37,721
"Trigati" is breaking away.
564
00:35:37,930 --> 00:35:40,265
Starting to open a jump point.
565
00:35:40,432 --> 00:35:41,600
Shall we open fire?
566
00:35:41,934 --> 00:35:44,269
No, the Minbari will have to do this.
567
00:35:44,436 --> 00:35:46,480
They're targeting
the "Trigati"'s aft engines.
568
00:35:52,361 --> 00:35:54,863
"Trigati"'s engines have been hit.
Unable to make jump.
569
00:35:55,030 --> 00:35:56,824
No change in life signs,
a clean hit.
570
00:35:56,990 --> 00:36:00,244
The war cruiser is ordering the "Trigati"
to prepare to be boarded.
571
00:36:00,410 --> 00:36:03,997
-Their response?
-Just one word: honor.
572
00:36:04,790 --> 00:36:08,710
We're picking up a change in the "Trigati"'s
fusion reactors, moving towards critical.
573
00:36:08,877 --> 00:36:10,587
They're....
574
00:36:10,796 --> 00:36:12,422
Oh, my God.
575
00:36:26,061 --> 00:36:28,730
Signal coming in from the war cruiser.
576
00:36:31,650 --> 00:36:33,318
Put it through.
577
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,657
This is Capt. John Sheridan, Babylon 5.
578
00:36:38,824 --> 00:36:39,992
Appreciate the help.
579
00:36:40,159 --> 00:36:44,121
Perhaps to you, this was a
tactical problem to be solved.
580
00:36:44,329 --> 00:36:46,748
For us, this has been a great sorrow.
581
00:36:46,915 --> 00:36:50,335
"The crew of the" Trigati "were heroes"
to many of our people.
582
00:36:50,502 --> 00:36:53,422
Their death will be mourned.
583
00:36:53,589 --> 00:36:56,508
And your name will be remembered.
584
00:37:19,198 --> 00:37:20,657
Yes?
585
00:37:23,285 --> 00:37:25,954
Thought I'd stop by,
see if all your things arrived.
586
00:37:27,456 --> 00:37:31,502
Yes, yes. Everything's present
and accounted for.
587
00:37:34,713 --> 00:37:36,340
Something wrong?
588
00:37:40,469 --> 00:37:42,513
When I got my orders...
589
00:37:43,555 --> 00:37:46,975
...I figured this place was
a great opportunity.
590
00:37:49,811 --> 00:37:53,524
And now I wonder if coming here
was irresponsible.
591
00:37:55,234 --> 00:37:59,446
This whole mess with the "Trigati" might
not have happened if I hadn't been here.
592
00:38:00,155 --> 00:38:05,077
My presence, my actions in the war.
593
00:38:09,998 --> 00:38:12,417
I'm to blame for bringing
this trouble to Babylon 5.
594
00:38:12,584 --> 00:38:15,212
What was it our friend
in the Grey Council said?
595
00:38:15,420 --> 00:38:18,549
"If there's a doom on this station,
it was you who brought it here."
596
00:38:19,591 --> 00:38:21,718
Well, maybe he was right.
597
00:38:24,763 --> 00:38:27,224
I spoke with the president.
598
00:38:28,100 --> 00:38:32,396
He is the only other human who knows
why the Minbari surrendered.
599
00:38:32,563 --> 00:38:35,357
He doesn't believe this stuff
about us sharing Minbari souls.
600
00:38:35,524 --> 00:38:38,193
And I can't say that I do either.
601
00:38:38,777 --> 00:38:42,739
But they believe it. That's why they
chose Sinclair to run this place.
602
00:38:42,948 --> 00:38:48,537
That's why they picked him to live on their
world. He was their first human contact.
603
00:38:48,704 --> 00:38:50,706
Him they trust.
604
00:38:50,873 --> 00:38:52,583
But me?
605
00:38:55,961 --> 00:38:57,588
I don't know.
606
00:38:58,046 --> 00:39:02,509
If Sinclair had been here instead,
maybe they might not have attacked.
607
00:39:03,051 --> 00:39:04,887
Maybe they would have.
608
00:39:05,721 --> 00:39:09,641
There's enough guilt in the world
to go around without grabbing for more.
609
00:39:11,894 --> 00:39:14,313
Give yourself the benefit of the doubt.
610
00:39:16,481 --> 00:39:19,401
Anyway, if you ever want to talk
about this some more...
611
00:39:19,568 --> 00:39:22,029
...you know where to find me. Anytime.
612
00:39:27,826 --> 00:39:31,580
I told them, Delenn, as I was
ordered.
613
00:39:31,747 --> 00:39:34,958
I only wish I could have
told them the rest.
614
00:39:35,167 --> 00:39:38,003
About the great enemy
that is returning...
615
00:39:38,170 --> 00:39:40,964
...and the prophecy
that the two sides of our spirit...
616
00:39:41,173 --> 00:39:44,927
...must unite against the Darkness
or be destroyed.
617
00:39:45,093 --> 00:39:51,016
They say it will take both of our races
to stop the Darkness.
618
00:39:51,183 --> 00:39:56,813
I'm told that the Earthers will discover
all of this soon enough on their own.
619
00:39:57,022 --> 00:39:58,690
I hope they are right.
620
00:39:58,857 --> 00:40:01,693
Because if we are wrong...
621
00:40:01,860 --> 00:40:04,613
...no one will survive our mistake.
622
00:40:06,782 --> 00:40:08,617
Good night, Delenn.
623
00:40:37,729 --> 00:40:42,985
I'm not saying I mind looking a squadron
of Minbari fighters right in the eye.
624
00:40:43,152 --> 00:40:47,573
I'm not saying I mind sitting with my
weapons off, waiting to be splashed.
625
00:40:47,739 --> 00:40:49,533
I'm just saying, next time
this happens--
626
00:40:49,700 --> 00:40:51,243
If there's a next time.
627
00:40:51,410 --> 00:40:54,496
If someone could, I don't know,
maybe explain it to me...
628
00:40:54,663 --> 00:40:58,876
...this would be a good thing for my limited
and admittedly subjective point of view.
629
00:40:59,084 --> 00:41:01,837
Did you catch that? He wants
explanations. He wants logic.
630
00:41:02,004 --> 00:41:05,716
Logic is a good thing. What it has to do
with the Earthforce is anybody's guess.
631
00:41:05,924 --> 00:41:10,262
Yeah, I suppose. So, what does
everybody think of our new captain?
632
00:41:10,512 --> 00:41:13,724
Well, I haven't seen too much of him,
but what I have seen, I like.
633
00:41:13,932 --> 00:41:16,059
I think he's gonna be okay. Susan?
634
00:41:16,268 --> 00:41:17,436
I agree.
635
00:41:17,603 --> 00:41:21,231
He's supposed to meet us here for drinks.
I wonder what's hanging him up?
636
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,692
Last time I saw him,
he said something about...
637
00:41:23,859 --> 00:41:28,155
...having a half-hour to give some
good-luck speech or it wouldn't count.
638
00:41:28,322 --> 00:41:30,032
When was that?
639
00:41:30,199 --> 00:41:32,201
About 20 minutes ago.
640
00:41:32,367 --> 00:41:36,121
Oh, no. Of all the times
he could have picked.
641
00:41:36,705 --> 00:41:40,876
It was an early Earth president,
Abraham Lincoln...
642
00:41:41,043 --> 00:41:44,338
...who best described our situation.
643
00:41:45,631 --> 00:41:48,842
"The dogmas of the quiet past...
644
00:41:49,009 --> 00:41:53,430
...are inadequate to the stormy present.
645
00:41:54,389 --> 00:42:00,562
The occasion is piled high with difficulty,
and we must rise to the occasion.
646
00:42:01,563 --> 00:42:03,899
We cannot escape history.
647
00:42:04,733 --> 00:42:09,071
We will be remembered
in spite of ourselves.
648
00:42:11,031 --> 00:42:14,743
The fiery trial through which we pass...
649
00:42:14,910 --> 00:42:18,747
...will light us down in honor
or dishonor...
650
00:42:18,914 --> 00:42:21,458
...to the last generation.
651
00:42:23,418 --> 00:42:26,755
We shall nobly save...
652
00:42:26,922 --> 00:42:29,591
...or meanly lose...
653
00:42:29,758 --> 00:42:34,596
...our last, best hope of Earth."
654
00:42:44,690 --> 00:42:46,942
Five minutes to spare.
655
00:43:35,824 --> 00:43:36,825
