1
00:00:16,917 --> 00:00:18,517
We'll swing back
this way in a month--
2
00:00:18,519 --> 00:00:19,718
make sure
everything's ok.
3
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,455
Those hijackers so much
as blink in your direction,
4
00:00:23,457 --> 00:00:25,624
yell. We'll be here.
5
00:00:25,626 --> 00:00:26,958
Roger.
see you then.
6
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:28,460
Agamemnon out.
7
00:00:30,531 --> 00:00:32,797
Initiate jump
into hyperspace.
8
00:00:32,799 --> 00:00:34,433
Jump point, aye.
9
00:00:41,575 --> 00:00:43,675
Captain, we're getting
a coded signal
10
00:00:43,677 --> 00:00:45,777
from Earthdome
on gold channel one.
11
00:00:45,779 --> 00:00:47,413
It's General Hague,
12
00:00:47,415 --> 00:00:51,050
joint chiefs of staff.
13
00:00:51,052 --> 00:00:52,717
Patch it through
to my office.
14
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:53,818
Yes, sir.
15
00:00:56,457 --> 00:00:57,656
Receive.
16
00:00:57,658 --> 00:01:00,426
General,
this is a surprise.
17
00:01:00,428 --> 00:01:01,527
What can I do for you?
18
00:01:01,529 --> 00:01:02,827
In the last few days,
19
00:01:02,829 --> 00:01:04,329
a Minbari warship
has been seen
20
00:01:04,331 --> 00:01:05,764
in Earth-controlled
space.
21
00:01:05,766 --> 00:01:07,999
Sector 423 by 2-7.
22
00:01:08,001 --> 00:01:10,869
That would put it about
2 jumps from Babylon 5.
23
00:01:10,871 --> 00:01:11,870
Exactly.
24
00:01:11,872 --> 00:01:13,372
We have
reason to believe
25
00:01:13,374 --> 00:01:15,307
it may have
hostile intent.
26
00:01:15,309 --> 00:01:17,076
I don't understand.
27
00:01:17,078 --> 00:01:19,445
The war's been over
for more than 10 years.
28
00:01:19,447 --> 00:01:21,746
Why would the Minbari
government launch an attack?
29
00:01:21,748 --> 00:01:23,014
They wouldn't.
30
00:01:23,016 --> 00:01:25,817
We have a renegade
warship on our hands.
31
00:01:25,819 --> 00:01:26,818
The Trigati.
32
00:01:26,820 --> 00:01:28,053
Looks like it.
33
00:01:28,055 --> 00:01:30,021
We've had 3 separate
reports of sightings
34
00:01:30,023 --> 00:01:31,323
by ships
in that area.
35
00:01:31,325 --> 00:01:32,691
Has it attacked
any of them?
36
00:01:32,693 --> 00:01:34,359
Strangely enough,
no, it hasn't.
37
00:01:34,361 --> 00:01:35,494
Not yet, anyway.
38
00:01:35,496 --> 00:01:37,496
But that may change
at any moment.
39
00:01:37,498 --> 00:01:38,697
The Minbari
government
40
00:01:38,699 --> 00:01:40,099
has dispatched
a second cruiser
41
00:01:40,101 --> 00:01:41,366
in hopes of
finding the Trigati
42
00:01:41,368 --> 00:01:42,968
before it does
any damage...
43
00:01:42,970 --> 00:01:44,136
But it may be
a while
44
00:01:44,138 --> 00:01:45,971
before that
cruiser arrives.
45
00:01:45,973 --> 00:01:48,373
When it does,
I want you
46
00:01:48,375 --> 00:01:49,975
to make personal
contact with it
47
00:01:49,977 --> 00:01:51,510
and coordinate
the search.
48
00:01:51,512 --> 00:01:54,179
General,
with all due respect,
49
00:01:54,181 --> 00:01:57,048
the last time
I made personal contact
50
00:01:57,050 --> 00:01:58,250
with a Minbari warship,
51
00:01:58,252 --> 00:02:00,085
I sent it
straight to hell.
52
00:02:00,087 --> 00:02:01,086
That's why I want you
53
00:02:01,088 --> 00:02:02,488
in that part of space,
Captain.
54
00:02:02,490 --> 00:02:04,189
You've beaten them once,
and if necessary,
55
00:02:04,191 --> 00:02:05,924
you can do so again.
56
00:02:05,926 --> 00:02:07,726
Tell no one about this.
57
00:02:07,728 --> 00:02:09,561
Understood.
58
00:02:09,563 --> 00:02:11,997
So, I'm to take
the Agamemnon to Babylon 5
59
00:02:11,999 --> 00:02:14,399
and coordinate with them,
is that correct?
60
00:02:14,401 --> 00:02:16,568
Not exactly.
61
00:02:16,570 --> 00:02:19,404
I need you to do
one other job...
62
00:02:19,406 --> 00:02:22,307
And this comes straight
from the President.
63
00:02:24,745 --> 00:02:26,345
Status report.
64
00:02:26,347 --> 00:02:28,413
Lieutenant Commander
Susan Ivanova recording.
65
00:02:28,415 --> 00:02:30,182
It is now 8 days
since the death
66
00:02:30,184 --> 00:02:32,417
of Earth Alliance
President Luis Santiago
67
00:02:32,419 --> 00:02:34,486
and 5 days
since Commander Sinclair
68
00:02:34,488 --> 00:02:37,722
was recalled to Earth
without explanation...
69
00:02:37,724 --> 00:02:40,725
And the whole place
has gone straight to hell.
70
00:02:40,727 --> 00:02:42,727
[Yelling]
71
00:02:49,370 --> 00:02:51,336
And as far
as I'm concerned,
72
00:02:51,338 --> 00:02:53,772
the transports can wait
until the sun explodes!
73
00:02:53,774 --> 00:02:55,840
And if you're not happy
with the seating arrangements,
74
00:02:55,842 --> 00:02:59,110
I will personally order
your seats to be moved outside,
75
00:02:59,112 --> 00:03:01,280
down the hall,
across the station,
76
00:03:01,282 --> 00:03:03,715
and into
the fusion reactor.
77
00:03:03,717 --> 00:03:07,286
Am I absolutely,
perfectly clear on this?
78
00:03:10,891 --> 00:03:12,424
I can only conclude
79
00:03:12,426 --> 00:03:15,794
that I'm paying off Karma
at a vastly accelerated rate.
80
00:03:17,130 --> 00:03:18,897
Security chief
Michael Garibaldi
81
00:03:18,899 --> 00:03:21,400
remains in critical
condition in medlab.
82
00:03:21,402 --> 00:03:23,335
Dr. Franklin's
done all he can,
83
00:03:23,337 --> 00:03:25,470
but we still don't know
if he'll recover.
84
00:03:27,308 --> 00:03:29,774
As for Ambassador Delenn...
85
00:03:29,776 --> 00:03:30,975
Well...
86
00:03:30,977 --> 00:03:33,278
Something's going on
in her quarters,
87
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,113
that's for sure.
88
00:03:36,283 --> 00:03:37,282
[Beep]
89
00:03:37,284 --> 00:03:38,783
Ivanova.
90
00:03:38,785 --> 00:03:40,752
We've got a gold channel
message for you.
91
00:03:40,754 --> 00:03:41,953
It's General Hague.
92
00:03:41,955 --> 00:03:43,755
I'll take it
in the briefing room.
93
00:03:49,796 --> 00:03:52,431
Computer, accept and decode
gold channel signal.
94
00:03:53,434 --> 00:03:54,499
General.
95
00:03:54,501 --> 00:03:56,835
Lieutenant Commander.
96
00:03:56,837 --> 00:03:58,370
This may be breaking
the chain of command,
97
00:03:58,372 --> 00:04:00,171
but I have some news,
and I felt I should
98
00:04:00,173 --> 00:04:01,540
deliver that news
myself.
99
00:04:01,542 --> 00:04:04,610
Your commanding officer,
Commander Sinclair,
100
00:04:04,612 --> 00:04:06,911
will not be returning
to Babylon 5.
101
00:04:06,913 --> 00:04:09,013
He's being reassigned...
102
00:04:09,015 --> 00:04:10,349
Permanently.
103
00:04:13,987 --> 00:04:19,258
The Babylon project was
our last best hope for peace--
104
00:04:19,260 --> 00:04:22,661
a self-contained world
5 miles long,
105
00:04:22,663 --> 00:04:25,797
located
in neutral territory...
106
00:04:25,799 --> 00:04:28,166
A place of commerce
and diplomacy
107
00:04:28,168 --> 00:04:30,869
for a quarter of a million
humans and aliens...
108
00:04:33,940 --> 00:04:39,344
A shining beacon in space,
all alone in the night.
109
00:04:39,346 --> 00:04:42,781
It was the dawn of
the third age of mankind,
110
00:04:42,783 --> 00:04:45,550
the year the great war
came upon us all.
111
00:04:47,521 --> 00:04:48,720
This is the story
112
00:04:48,722 --> 00:04:51,423
of the last
of the Babylon stations.
113
00:04:51,425 --> 00:04:53,592
The year is 2259.
114
00:04:53,594 --> 00:04:55,327
The name of the place is Babylon 5
115
00:05:42,609 --> 00:05:44,609
General,
with all due respect,
116
00:05:44,611 --> 00:05:47,612
what do you mean you're
reassigning Commander Sinclair?
117
00:05:47,614 --> 00:05:49,381
Reassigning him where?
118
00:05:49,383 --> 00:05:51,349
To the
Minbari homeworld.
119
00:05:51,351 --> 00:05:52,350
He'll be functioning
120
00:05:52,352 --> 00:05:53,485
as the first
Earth Ambassador
121
00:05:53,487 --> 00:05:55,620
allowed permanent
residence there.
122
00:05:55,622 --> 00:05:57,021
The President's
been trying to find
123
00:05:57,023 --> 00:05:59,023
someone suitable,
and the Minbari
124
00:05:59,025 --> 00:06:00,759
specifically requested
Sinclair.
125
00:06:00,761 --> 00:06:01,826
But why him?
126
00:06:01,828 --> 00:06:03,027
That information
is strictly
127
00:06:03,029 --> 00:06:04,396
on a need-to-know basis.
128
00:06:04,398 --> 00:06:05,897
I've already briefed
Captain Sheridan
129
00:06:05,899 --> 00:06:07,031
on the situation.
130
00:06:07,033 --> 00:06:08,533
Captain Sheridan?
John Sheridan?
131
00:06:08,535 --> 00:06:09,867
That's right.
I believe you know him.
132
00:06:09,869 --> 00:06:12,370
Yes, sir. I served under him
at the transfer point off io.
133
00:06:12,372 --> 00:06:13,805
He's a good man
and a fine officer,
134
00:06:13,807 --> 00:06:16,641
but it's bound to be
a controversial choice.
135
00:06:16,643 --> 00:06:17,642
If I may ask--
136
00:06:17,644 --> 00:06:19,311
you may not.
Any further questions
137
00:06:19,313 --> 00:06:21,179
will have to go
through your new C.O.
138
00:06:21,181 --> 00:06:23,047
Good day,
Lieutenant Commander.
139
00:06:23,049 --> 00:06:24,048
[Beep]
140
00:06:30,290 --> 00:06:32,290
[Chanting]
141
00:06:38,064 --> 00:06:40,264
So...
142
00:06:40,266 --> 00:06:43,335
She's done it,
hasn't she?
143
00:06:43,337 --> 00:06:45,903
She's in there.
144
00:06:45,905 --> 00:06:47,939
We told her to wait.
145
00:06:47,941 --> 00:06:51,343
Prophecy will attend
to itself, we told her.
146
00:06:54,781 --> 00:06:57,782
Now we are committed
to the path.
147
00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:00,318
I've spoken with
148
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,019
the other members
of the council.
149
00:07:02,021 --> 00:07:04,989
The Trigati has been
seen in this sector.
150
00:07:04,991 --> 00:07:06,991
If it should appear, you
must go to the humans
151
00:07:06,993 --> 00:07:09,160
and tell them
what we've told you.
152
00:07:09,162 --> 00:07:11,429
It's time
they knew the truth.
153
00:07:13,667 --> 00:07:15,533
Lieutenant Commander,
about the new Captain--
154
00:07:15,535 --> 00:07:17,134
yes. I would like
a full honor guard present
155
00:07:17,136 --> 00:07:18,135
when his ship docks.
156
00:07:18,137 --> 00:07:19,136
We've barely
got enough time--
157
00:07:19,138 --> 00:07:20,772
he's here.
What?!
158
00:07:20,774 --> 00:07:22,340
His Earthforce transport
just docked.
159
00:07:22,342 --> 00:07:23,742
Apparently, there was
a miscommunication
160
00:07:23,744 --> 00:07:24,743
about the time.
161
00:07:29,850 --> 00:07:31,315
Hello, sir.
162
00:07:41,227 --> 00:07:43,661
Welcome aboard, sir.
163
00:07:43,663 --> 00:07:44,863
I'm authorized
to surrender
164
00:07:44,865 --> 00:07:47,031
command of Babylon 5
to you at this time.
165
00:07:47,033 --> 00:07:48,266
Thank you,
Lieutenant Commander.
166
00:07:48,268 --> 00:07:50,167
I accept command.
167
00:07:50,169 --> 00:07:52,804
Uh, there seems to be
a problem with the unloaders.
168
00:07:52,806 --> 00:07:55,407
Could you have my bags
delivered to my quarters?
169
00:07:55,409 --> 00:07:56,808
Of course.
170
00:07:56,810 --> 00:07:58,042
Thank you.
171
00:07:58,044 --> 00:07:59,176
I assume
you'd like to begin
172
00:07:59,178 --> 00:08:00,478
with a quick tour
of the facilities?
173
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:01,813
Yes, absolutely.
174
00:08:01,815 --> 00:08:03,782
Great.
Right this way.
175
00:08:07,086 --> 00:08:08,386
It's good to see you
again, sir.
176
00:08:08,388 --> 00:08:09,754
How was your flight?
177
00:08:09,756 --> 00:08:12,757
Fine. They actually had
fresh oranges
178
00:08:12,759 --> 00:08:13,958
on the transport.
179
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,161
I haven't had an orange
in almost 2 years.
180
00:08:17,163 --> 00:08:18,763
I used to dream
about them.
181
00:08:18,765 --> 00:08:21,499
Grapes, nectarines,
plums--
182
00:08:21,501 --> 00:08:23,701
the black ones,
not the red ones.
183
00:08:23,703 --> 00:08:25,737
I mean, it's amazing
what 2 years on the rim
184
00:08:25,739 --> 00:08:27,806
can do to you.
I have a hunch
185
00:08:27,808 --> 00:08:29,006
I'll be spending
a lot of time
186
00:08:29,008 --> 00:08:31,910
in hydroponics.
187
00:08:31,912 --> 00:08:34,446
On the way in, I read
the station reports,
188
00:08:34,448 --> 00:08:36,180
trying to catch up
on everything.
189
00:08:36,182 --> 00:08:37,749
What's our status?
190
00:08:37,751 --> 00:08:40,552
Chief of security's in
critical condition in medlab.
191
00:08:40,554 --> 00:08:41,820
He thinks
there's a conspiracy
192
00:08:41,822 --> 00:08:43,321
concerning
the President's death.
193
00:08:43,323 --> 00:08:46,524
Ambassador G'kar
has mysteriously vanished.
194
00:08:46,526 --> 00:08:48,125
After 2 years,
we still don't know
195
00:08:48,127 --> 00:08:49,293
what Ambassador Kosh
looks like
196
00:08:49,295 --> 00:08:50,995
inside
his encounter suit,
197
00:08:50,997 --> 00:08:54,532
and Ambassador Delenn
is in a cocoon.
198
00:08:54,534 --> 00:08:56,200
A cocoon?
199
00:08:57,938 --> 00:09:00,472
As in a moth
or a butterfly?
200
00:09:00,474 --> 00:09:01,806
Yes, sir.
201
00:09:01,808 --> 00:09:03,307
About yea high.
202
00:09:05,311 --> 00:09:08,346
Interesting place
you have here.
203
00:09:08,348 --> 00:09:09,881
Yes, sir.
204
00:09:18,091 --> 00:09:20,992
Show me this place.
205
00:09:20,994 --> 00:09:24,896
Babylon 5 is divided into
several different sections.
206
00:09:24,898 --> 00:09:27,565
The green sector is
for diplomatic personnel
207
00:09:27,567 --> 00:09:30,468
and is closed
to unauthorized personnel.
208
00:09:30,470 --> 00:09:33,204
The red sector is for
commerce and...
209
00:09:35,341 --> 00:09:37,008
And this will be
your quarters.
210
00:09:37,010 --> 00:09:38,843
I hope
it's satisfactory?
211
00:09:38,845 --> 00:09:42,514
It's fine. Fine.
It's certainly
212
00:09:42,516 --> 00:09:45,783
a lot bigger
than what I'm used to.
213
00:09:45,785 --> 00:09:48,119
Does this place
come with a shower?
214
00:09:48,121 --> 00:09:50,688
I mean, a real, live,
honest-to-god shower
215
00:09:50,690 --> 00:09:51,923
with running water
and everything?
216
00:09:51,925 --> 00:09:53,391
Executive suites
in command quarters
217
00:09:53,393 --> 00:09:56,260
all have showers with real,
live, honest-to-god water.
218
00:09:56,262 --> 00:09:57,929
The rest get vibe showers.
219
00:09:57,931 --> 00:09:59,130
Our water
reclamation system
220
00:09:59,132 --> 00:10:00,364
can't handle
much more than that.
221
00:10:00,366 --> 00:10:02,600
Mmm, a shower.
222
00:10:02,602 --> 00:10:04,702
I may come
to like it here.
223
00:10:04,704 --> 00:10:05,803
Which brings me
to something
224
00:10:05,805 --> 00:10:06,938
I've been
wanting to ask you.
225
00:10:06,940 --> 00:10:09,373
It's, uh...
It's kind of awkward.
226
00:10:09,375 --> 00:10:11,108
You've never
been worried
227
00:10:11,110 --> 00:10:12,677
about being
diplomatic before.
228
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,812
Don't disappoint me
by starting now.
229
00:10:14,814 --> 00:10:17,281
When I heard about
the change in command,
230
00:10:17,283 --> 00:10:18,282
I figured
we'd get stuck
231
00:10:18,284 --> 00:10:20,518
with some
high-level bureaucrat,
232
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,820
or an admiral or
an Ambassador and--
233
00:10:22,822 --> 00:10:24,722
and why me?
234
00:10:24,724 --> 00:10:27,258
Yeah, I wondered
the same thing.
235
00:10:27,260 --> 00:10:28,259
Apparently I was
236
00:10:28,261 --> 00:10:29,761
the late President's
first choice
237
00:10:29,763 --> 00:10:30,762
to replace Sinclair
238
00:10:30,764 --> 00:10:32,363
in case anything
happened.
239
00:10:32,365 --> 00:10:33,698
While commanding
the Agamemnon,
240
00:10:33,700 --> 00:10:36,701
I worked with many of
the nonaligned worlds--
241
00:10:36,703 --> 00:10:39,370
the centauri, Narns...
242
00:10:39,372 --> 00:10:41,706
Even a few Minbari.
243
00:10:41,708 --> 00:10:43,775
That's what
I was concerned about.
244
00:10:43,777 --> 00:10:46,044
I mean, the Minbari aren't
exactly going to be thrilled
245
00:10:46,046 --> 00:10:48,245
to find out
you're running Babylon 5.
246
00:10:48,247 --> 00:10:50,514
I hear they still
call you "starkiller."
247
00:10:50,516 --> 00:10:54,518
That was a long time
ago--12 years.
248
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,821
Maybe they've forgotten
about it by now.
249
00:10:56,823 --> 00:10:59,891
[Sighs] Yeah, I know.
250
00:10:59,893 --> 00:11:02,193
I don't believe it
either.
251
00:11:02,195 --> 00:11:04,361
Well, one thing
for sure,
252
00:11:04,363 --> 00:11:06,097
I'll be relying on you
253
00:11:06,099 --> 00:11:07,999
pretty heavily
these next few weeks
254
00:11:08,001 --> 00:11:09,601
until I'm up to speed.
255
00:11:09,603 --> 00:11:12,169
That certainly couldn't be
worse than the last week,
256
00:11:12,171 --> 00:11:15,073
what with President Santiago's
death and everything else.
257
00:11:15,075 --> 00:11:16,774
How's the crew
handling it?
258
00:11:16,776 --> 00:11:18,375
They're still
pretty shocked.
259
00:11:18,377 --> 00:11:21,345
I don't think the reality
of it has quite sunken in yet.
260
00:11:21,347 --> 00:11:22,680
And you?
261
00:11:30,757 --> 00:11:33,557
I don't know. I just...
262
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,960
I just keep seeing
Earthforce one
263
00:11:35,962 --> 00:11:39,597
blowing up over and over
again in my dreams.
264
00:11:39,599 --> 00:11:43,935
All my life, I thought that
I could handle everything...
265
00:11:43,937 --> 00:11:46,137
Fix any problem.
266
00:11:46,139 --> 00:11:49,173
When I saw that, I just...
267
00:11:49,175 --> 00:11:54,012
Realized I couldn't
do anything to stop it.
268
00:11:54,014 --> 00:11:55,880
I don't think I've ever
felt so helpless.
269
00:11:55,882 --> 00:11:57,214
I know.
270
00:11:57,216 --> 00:11:59,283
I felt the same way.
271
00:11:59,285 --> 00:12:00,484
And ever since then,
the crew has needed me
272
00:12:00,486 --> 00:12:03,220
to be strong for them,
and I've tried.
273
00:12:03,222 --> 00:12:05,857
I don't like
to show weakness.
274
00:12:05,859 --> 00:12:09,460
I guess I get it
from my father.
275
00:12:09,462 --> 00:12:11,929
But with the added madness
of trying to run this place
276
00:12:11,931 --> 00:12:13,731
and the Commander
being called back to Earth
277
00:12:13,733 --> 00:12:15,466
and the Ambassadors
yelling and carrying on...
278
00:12:15,468 --> 00:12:18,502
[Sighs] I don't know.
279
00:12:18,504 --> 00:12:24,776
I just--i just hope
I've done ok by them.
280
00:12:24,778 --> 00:12:27,478
Let's just say
I'm very happy to see you.
281
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,947
I appreciate that.
282
00:12:29,949 --> 00:12:32,283
And coming from you,
it means a lot.
283
00:12:32,285 --> 00:12:34,518
I should also mention
that the crew
284
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,554
is really looking forward
to meeting you.
285
00:12:36,556 --> 00:12:39,623
They've heard all about you,
and I think right about now,
286
00:12:39,625 --> 00:12:41,659
they could use
something to smile about.
287
00:12:41,661 --> 00:12:43,161
Then we won't
keep them waiting.
288
00:12:43,163 --> 00:12:44,829
I'll just grab
a fast shower,
289
00:12:44,831 --> 00:12:46,230
we'll head up to
command and control,
290
00:12:46,232 --> 00:12:48,132
and I'll give them
my good luck speech.
291
00:12:48,134 --> 00:12:49,266
Sir?
292
00:12:49,268 --> 00:12:50,601
It's the same speech
I gave them
293
00:12:50,603 --> 00:12:51,836
when I took command
on io
294
00:12:51,838 --> 00:12:53,004
on the Agamemnon.
295
00:12:53,006 --> 00:12:55,372
It's sort of my, uh...
296
00:12:55,374 --> 00:12:57,441
Good luck charm.
297
00:12:57,443 --> 00:12:59,310
I always give it
within 24 hours
298
00:12:59,312 --> 00:13:00,778
of taking on
a new assignment.
299
00:13:00,780 --> 00:13:02,213
Well, then, I look
forward to hearing it.
300
00:13:02,215 --> 00:13:03,647
Would you mind
if I met you in c&c?
301
00:13:03,649 --> 00:13:04,982
I have to take care
of something.
302
00:13:04,984 --> 00:13:06,818
Oh, of course. See you
there in 20 minutes.
303
00:13:13,626 --> 00:13:15,359
In Valen's name.
Kalain.
304
00:13:15,361 --> 00:13:17,028
Kalain!
305
00:13:17,030 --> 00:13:19,030
Wait!
306
00:13:19,032 --> 00:13:20,732
Kalain!
307
00:13:20,734 --> 00:13:24,102
We do not harm our own kind,
Kalain. We never have.
308
00:13:24,104 --> 00:13:26,137
Perhaps it is time
to start.
309
00:13:26,139 --> 00:13:29,073
The Grey Council
has betrayed us.
310
00:13:29,075 --> 00:13:31,342
What does a little
blood matter now?
311
00:13:31,344 --> 00:13:32,810
No one
has been betrayed.
312
00:13:32,812 --> 00:13:35,346
No! No lies.
313
00:13:35,348 --> 00:13:36,914
We have
intercepted a message
314
00:13:36,916 --> 00:13:38,415
from the humans
to Minbar.
315
00:13:38,417 --> 00:13:40,785
We know they have chosen
Sheridan the starkiller
316
00:13:40,787 --> 00:13:42,053
to lead this place.
317
00:13:42,055 --> 00:13:43,087
It is an obscenity.
318
00:13:43,089 --> 00:13:44,688
We protested.
They ignored us.
319
00:13:44,690 --> 00:13:49,560
Ambassador Delenn--did
she also ignore you?
320
00:13:49,562 --> 00:13:50,694
How do you know?
321
00:13:50,696 --> 00:13:52,830
We have supporters
even among the council.
322
00:13:52,832 --> 00:13:54,365
They tell us
that Sinclair
323
00:13:54,367 --> 00:13:56,167
is now on our world.
324
00:13:56,169 --> 00:13:57,835
He is an Ambassador.
325
00:13:57,837 --> 00:13:59,270
So you say.
326
00:13:59,272 --> 00:14:00,704
But the Grey Council
327
00:14:00,706 --> 00:14:03,507
never tells anyone
the whole truth,
328
00:14:03,509 --> 00:14:05,209
does it?
329
00:14:05,211 --> 00:14:08,112
If you value your
life, leave now,
330
00:14:08,114 --> 00:14:09,881
while you still can.
331
00:14:33,639 --> 00:14:36,207
Good afternoon,
Lieutenant Commander.
332
00:14:36,209 --> 00:14:38,476
How'd you know
it was me?
333
00:14:38,478 --> 00:14:39,877
Well, it's 2:45.
334
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:41,245
You always
come by at 2:45
335
00:14:41,247 --> 00:14:43,647
to see how he's doing.
336
00:14:43,649 --> 00:14:44,648
So...
337
00:14:44,650 --> 00:14:46,150
How's he doing?
338
00:14:46,152 --> 00:14:48,919
Still no change.
339
00:14:48,921 --> 00:14:50,921
We've managed to
stabilize his condition,
340
00:14:50,923 --> 00:14:52,723
dropped in as many
region packs
341
00:14:52,725 --> 00:14:54,658
we think
his body can handle.
342
00:14:54,660 --> 00:14:55,826
Now all we can do
is wait and see
343
00:14:55,828 --> 00:14:57,428
if he comes out
of the coma.
344
00:14:57,430 --> 00:15:00,831
It could be hours,
days, weeks...
345
00:15:00,833 --> 00:15:02,500
Years?
346
00:15:02,502 --> 00:15:03,667
Never?
347
00:15:03,669 --> 00:15:06,137
Yeah.
348
00:15:06,139 --> 00:15:08,439
So all we can do is keep
him hooked up like this
349
00:15:08,441 --> 00:15:09,507
what, forever?
350
00:15:09,509 --> 00:15:13,511
Well, the human body
is an amazing thing.
351
00:15:13,513 --> 00:15:15,779
It can cure itself,
352
00:15:15,781 --> 00:15:17,781
or it can
simply decide one day
353
00:15:17,783 --> 00:15:19,384
that the world is
too painful to deal with
354
00:15:19,386 --> 00:15:20,385
and won't cooperate
355
00:15:20,387 --> 00:15:23,187
no matter how hard
you try to heal it.
356
00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:24,788
That debate is going on
357
00:15:24,790 --> 00:15:28,059
somewhere in
Garibaldi's body right now.
358
00:15:28,061 --> 00:15:30,528
We're just going to have to
wait and see who wins.
359
00:15:30,530 --> 00:15:31,662
Well, then,
I'll say a prayer
360
00:15:31,664 --> 00:15:32,663
for him tonight.
361
00:15:32,665 --> 00:15:34,832
He's agnostic.
362
00:15:34,834 --> 00:15:38,636
Then I'll say
half a prayer.
363
00:15:45,345 --> 00:15:47,845
It was an early
Earth President,
364
00:15:47,847 --> 00:15:48,846
Abraham Lincoln,
365
00:15:48,848 --> 00:15:50,848
who best described
our current--
366
00:15:50,850 --> 00:15:53,918
Captain,
they're ready for you.
367
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,754
Ahh! Good. Ahem.
368
00:15:59,159 --> 00:16:01,792
Captain on deck.
369
00:16:06,066 --> 00:16:07,631
As you were.
370
00:16:10,236 --> 00:16:12,437
When I was 21,
371
00:16:12,439 --> 00:16:14,672
I visited Tibet.
372
00:16:14,674 --> 00:16:17,841
I went to see
the new Dalai Lama.
373
00:16:17,843 --> 00:16:19,977
You do that sort of thing
when you're 21
374
00:16:19,979 --> 00:16:23,514
and son
of a diplomatic envoy.
375
00:16:23,516 --> 00:16:26,350
We had a simple dinner.
376
00:16:26,352 --> 00:16:28,953
Rice, raisins, carrots--
377
00:16:28,955 --> 00:16:31,456
steamed, not boiled--
378
00:16:31,458 --> 00:16:33,458
and green tea.
379
00:16:33,460 --> 00:16:36,327
When it was over,
380
00:16:36,329 --> 00:16:39,430
he looked at me
and said...
381
00:16:39,432 --> 00:16:41,765
"Do you understand?"
382
00:16:43,570 --> 00:16:47,538
I said, "no, I didn't."
383
00:16:47,540 --> 00:16:50,774
"A good beginning,"
he said.
384
00:16:50,776 --> 00:16:52,610
"You'll be even better
385
00:16:52,612 --> 00:16:54,745
"when you begin
to understand
386
00:16:54,747 --> 00:16:58,416
what
you do not understand."
387
00:16:58,418 --> 00:17:02,019
After reading
some of your reports,
388
00:17:02,021 --> 00:17:04,489
I begin to understand
what I don't understand
389
00:17:04,491 --> 00:17:07,492
about Babylon 5.
390
00:17:07,494 --> 00:17:10,495
But I couldn't wish
for a more...
391
00:17:10,497 --> 00:17:13,030
Capable...
392
00:17:13,032 --> 00:17:17,368
And skilled group of people
to learn from.
393
00:17:19,405 --> 00:17:22,006
It was
an early Earth President,
394
00:17:22,008 --> 00:17:23,508
Abraham Lincoln,
395
00:17:23,510 --> 00:17:27,512
who best described
our current situation.
396
00:17:27,514 --> 00:17:28,912
He said--
397
00:17:28,914 --> 00:17:31,282
c&c, this is security.
We have--
398
00:17:31,284 --> 00:17:33,451
ahem. Is there a problem?
399
00:17:33,453 --> 00:17:36,254
I'm sorry
to bother you, sir,
400
00:17:36,256 --> 00:17:37,955
but I've got security
on the link.
401
00:17:37,957 --> 00:17:38,956
They've got a Minbari
402
00:17:38,958 --> 00:17:40,358
demanding to speak
to you.
403
00:17:40,360 --> 00:17:41,626
He won't say
what it's about--
404
00:17:41,628 --> 00:17:42,627
only that
it involves
405
00:17:42,629 --> 00:17:44,295
the safety
of this station.
406
00:17:44,297 --> 00:17:47,765
He says it's
absolutely urgent.
407
00:17:47,767 --> 00:17:50,401
Ah, well, um...
408
00:17:50,403 --> 00:17:51,669
We'll get back
to this later.
409
00:17:51,671 --> 00:17:54,639
There's plenty of time
for speeches.
410
00:17:54,641 --> 00:17:56,774
Carry on.
411
00:17:56,776 --> 00:17:58,342
Lieutenant Commander.
412
00:18:00,313 --> 00:18:02,513
Hey! Hey!
Hold it right there!
413
00:18:02,515 --> 00:18:03,648
That section's
off-limits
414
00:18:03,650 --> 00:18:04,948
to everyone but
station personnel
415
00:18:04,950 --> 00:18:06,217
and diplomatic
staff.
416
00:18:06,219 --> 00:18:08,386
I'm sorry.
I seem to be lost.
417
00:18:08,388 --> 00:18:10,020
I'm looking
for brown two.
418
00:18:10,022 --> 00:18:11,222
Oh, you're way off.
419
00:18:11,224 --> 00:18:12,223
You want
the course shuttle.
420
00:18:12,225 --> 00:18:13,724
It's back that way.
I see.
421
00:18:13,726 --> 00:18:15,293
Thank you.
I'll be on my way.
422
00:18:15,295 --> 00:18:17,027
After I see
your identicard.
423
00:18:21,934 --> 00:18:24,001
Hey, wait a minute.
This card--
424
00:18:25,438 --> 00:18:27,705
his name is Kalain.
425
00:18:27,707 --> 00:18:30,374
He was second in command
of one of our flagship cruisers
426
00:18:30,376 --> 00:18:32,643
during the war
with your people.
427
00:18:32,645 --> 00:18:36,080
He has not been seen
since the end of the war.
428
00:18:36,082 --> 00:18:37,081
Why do you
think he's here
429
00:18:37,083 --> 00:18:38,583
to cause us
a problem?
430
00:18:38,585 --> 00:18:39,917
I have my reasons.
431
00:18:39,919 --> 00:18:42,687
I would not be bringing
this to you otherwise.
432
00:18:42,689 --> 00:18:44,355
If you will arrange
to have him apprehended,
433
00:18:44,357 --> 00:18:45,956
I will have him
picked up by others
434
00:18:45,958 --> 00:18:47,525
and conveyed to Minbar.
435
00:18:47,527 --> 00:18:49,126
You said he was
second in command
436
00:18:49,128 --> 00:18:50,528
of a Minbari cruiser.
437
00:18:50,530 --> 00:18:52,430
Which one?
438
00:18:52,432 --> 00:18:54,665
I don't see what that
has to do with this.
439
00:18:54,667 --> 00:18:56,200
Was it the Trigati?
440
00:18:57,837 --> 00:18:59,437
What's the Trigati?
441
00:18:59,439 --> 00:19:02,973
It is not something
we like to talk about.
442
00:19:06,412 --> 00:19:08,912
At the end of the war,
443
00:19:08,914 --> 00:19:12,182
when our ships
were ordered to surrender,
444
00:19:12,184 --> 00:19:14,252
one of our war leaders--
cinoval--
445
00:19:14,254 --> 00:19:16,186
took his own life
rather than obey
446
00:19:16,188 --> 00:19:19,890
and became a martyr
to his own crew.
447
00:19:19,892 --> 00:19:23,127
Kalain assumed command,
448
00:19:23,129 --> 00:19:24,695
and as a final act
of protest,
449
00:19:24,697 --> 00:19:25,696
they and the cruiser
450
00:19:25,698 --> 00:19:27,598
disappeared into
self-imposed exile.
451
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,467
Over the years
we've heard rumors
452
00:19:29,469 --> 00:19:31,302
of a Minbari cruiser
453
00:19:31,304 --> 00:19:32,936
sighted where
it shouldn't have been.
454
00:19:32,938 --> 00:19:35,439
We always figured
it was the Trigati...
455
00:19:35,441 --> 00:19:37,441
But we've never been
able to prove it.
456
00:19:37,443 --> 00:19:39,377
They believe that they
have been betrayed
457
00:19:39,379 --> 00:19:42,580
by their own world
and yours.
458
00:19:42,582 --> 00:19:44,815
Kalain's presence here
could indicate
459
00:19:44,817 --> 00:19:46,784
that they mean to
come out of retirement.
460
00:19:50,623 --> 00:19:54,124
Something
I don't understand.
461
00:19:54,126 --> 00:19:56,327
You said you're with
the Minbari government--
462
00:19:56,329 --> 00:19:57,728
the ministry of culture.
463
00:19:57,730 --> 00:19:58,996
Yes, that's right.
464
00:19:58,998 --> 00:20:01,632
So, how does someone in
the ministry of culture
465
00:20:01,634 --> 00:20:04,968
know a high-ranking member
of the warrior caste--
466
00:20:04,970 --> 00:20:07,672
well enough to recognize him
12 years later?
467
00:20:07,674 --> 00:20:10,474
I would answer
your question...
468
00:20:10,476 --> 00:20:13,477
If I recognized
your authority.
469
00:20:13,479 --> 00:20:15,413
Unlike your predecessor,
470
00:20:15,415 --> 00:20:16,814
my government
was not consulted
471
00:20:16,816 --> 00:20:17,815
on your appointment.
472
00:20:17,817 --> 00:20:19,617
The President
feels the Minbari
473
00:20:19,619 --> 00:20:22,152
had too much influence
over an Earth outpost.
474
00:20:22,154 --> 00:20:23,421
Times change.
475
00:20:23,423 --> 00:20:25,222
The day that a man
such as yourself
476
00:20:25,224 --> 00:20:26,657
is given a position
of this importance
477
00:20:26,659 --> 00:20:28,459
is a dark day indeed.
478
00:20:28,461 --> 00:20:31,261
We lost many
of our best warriors
479
00:20:31,263 --> 00:20:33,831
because of you...
480
00:20:33,833 --> 00:20:37,568
And we do not soon
forget such things.
481
00:20:37,570 --> 00:20:39,670
If there is a doom
on this station,
482
00:20:39,672 --> 00:20:42,105
it is because
you brought it here!
483
00:20:46,011 --> 00:20:49,613
Well, he's Grey Council.
He's got to be.
484
00:20:49,615 --> 00:20:51,181
Only someone
in the Grey Council
485
00:20:51,183 --> 00:20:53,317
would have had contact
with someone that high
486
00:20:53,319 --> 00:20:54,652
in the Minbari
warrior caste.
487
00:20:54,654 --> 00:20:58,889
I mean, they do
not normally mix.
488
00:20:58,891 --> 00:21:01,459
You are right.
489
00:21:01,461 --> 00:21:03,794
They're not happy
to see me here.
490
00:21:03,796 --> 00:21:06,196
They're a prideful people,
491
00:21:06,198 --> 00:21:07,998
and the black star
was their flagship.
492
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,201
Hmm. That's why
it made a good target.
493
00:21:11,203 --> 00:21:13,337
How did you take her out?
494
00:21:13,339 --> 00:21:15,205
I've always heard it was
some sort of new maneuver,
495
00:21:15,207 --> 00:21:16,507
but I've never heard
the specifics.
496
00:21:16,509 --> 00:21:20,244
There wasn't much style
or finesse involved.
497
00:21:20,246 --> 00:21:22,546
She was huge--
498
00:21:22,548 --> 00:21:24,014
monstrous.
499
00:21:24,016 --> 00:21:26,384
We tried everything,
but none of our weapons
500
00:21:26,386 --> 00:21:28,051
would lock on
to their ships.
501
00:21:28,053 --> 00:21:31,121
Some kind
of stealth technology.
502
00:21:31,123 --> 00:21:33,624
So...i hit on the idea
503
00:21:33,626 --> 00:21:36,026
of mining
the asteroid field
504
00:21:36,028 --> 00:21:37,695
between
Jupiter and Mars.
505
00:21:37,697 --> 00:21:38,696
A fusion bomb
506
00:21:38,698 --> 00:21:40,364
doesn't have to
lock on to anything
507
00:21:40,366 --> 00:21:42,633
if it's close enough.
508
00:21:42,635 --> 00:21:44,568
We took out
the black star
509
00:21:44,570 --> 00:21:45,836
and three of their
heavy cruisers
510
00:21:45,838 --> 00:21:47,738
before
they could escape.
511
00:21:50,576 --> 00:21:52,410
It was
the only real victory
512
00:21:52,412 --> 00:21:53,411
we had
in the whole damn war,
513
00:21:53,413 --> 00:21:55,212
and I am not about
to apologize for it!
514
00:21:57,517 --> 00:21:59,683
He said...
515
00:21:59,685 --> 00:22:02,787
Kalain feels his world
has betrayed him.
516
00:22:02,789 --> 00:22:06,089
If that's true...
517
00:22:06,091 --> 00:22:07,591
Wouldn't
your first target
518
00:22:07,593 --> 00:22:09,293
be the representative
of that world?
519
00:22:09,295 --> 00:22:11,429
Delenn.
520
00:22:13,098 --> 00:22:14,164
Get up.
521
00:22:19,338 --> 00:22:21,238
She's in there,
isn't she?
522
00:22:22,275 --> 00:22:25,442
Move aside.
Move aside!
523
00:22:26,445 --> 00:22:27,444
Freeze!
524
00:22:28,781 --> 00:22:31,348
All right,
put the gun down.
525
00:22:33,152 --> 00:22:35,486
Put the gun down.
We won't hurt you.
526
00:22:35,488 --> 00:22:39,490
If you are going
to kill me, then do so.
527
00:22:39,492 --> 00:22:42,826
Otherwise, I have
considerable work to do.
528
00:22:56,776 --> 00:22:59,276
You are the new
commanding officer?
529
00:22:59,278 --> 00:23:00,977
Captain John Sheridan,
Earthforce.
530
00:23:00,979 --> 00:23:01,978
Lennier...
531
00:23:01,980 --> 00:23:04,047
Of the third phane
of tudomo.
532
00:23:06,985 --> 00:23:09,152
Ambassador Delenn
is indisposed
533
00:23:09,154 --> 00:23:10,654
at the moment.
534
00:23:10,656 --> 00:23:12,756
Perhaps you would
come back later.
535
00:23:12,758 --> 00:23:15,225
Much later.
536
00:23:18,764 --> 00:23:20,664
Of course.
537
00:23:23,669 --> 00:23:25,602
Let me
get this straight.
538
00:23:25,604 --> 00:23:26,670
A high-ranking member
539
00:23:26,672 --> 00:23:28,372
of the Minbari
warrior caste
540
00:23:28,374 --> 00:23:31,508
who no one has seen
in nearly 12 years
541
00:23:31,510 --> 00:23:33,544
suddenly appears
542
00:23:33,546 --> 00:23:34,645
and for no
apparent reason
543
00:23:34,647 --> 00:23:36,747
breaks into Ambassador
Delenn's quarters,
544
00:23:36,749 --> 00:23:39,450
gun in hand.
545
00:23:39,452 --> 00:23:40,751
Now, if
you were looking
546
00:23:40,753 --> 00:23:43,186
for the Minbari
tourist bureau,
547
00:23:43,188 --> 00:23:44,555
you were just
a little off course,
548
00:23:44,557 --> 00:23:47,123
wouldn't you say?
549
00:23:47,125 --> 00:23:49,192
But the
curious thing is...
550
00:23:50,295 --> 00:23:53,296
You don't finish the job.
551
00:23:53,298 --> 00:23:54,798
You could have killed
both of them
552
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,333
and been out of there
in 2 minutes,
553
00:23:56,335 --> 00:23:58,469
but instead, we find you
standing there,
554
00:23:58,471 --> 00:24:00,237
practically
waiting for us.
555
00:24:00,239 --> 00:24:01,405
Everyone knows
556
00:24:01,407 --> 00:24:03,874
Minbari do not
kill Minbari.
557
00:24:03,876 --> 00:24:06,076
Then why are you here?
558
00:24:06,078 --> 00:24:08,645
Perhaps everyone
is wrong.
559
00:24:08,647 --> 00:24:12,282
Maybe you never intended
to kill them at all.
560
00:24:12,284 --> 00:24:14,518
Perhaps something else
is going on.
561
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,520
Perhaps you
are the problem.
562
00:24:16,522 --> 00:24:18,489
What's that
supposed to mean?
563
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,225
Captain, we're not
getting anywhere.
564
00:24:22,227 --> 00:24:23,560
I suggest
we wrap it up for now
565
00:24:23,562 --> 00:24:24,561
and try again tomorrow.
566
00:24:24,563 --> 00:24:27,297
One last thing.
567
00:24:27,299 --> 00:24:30,434
I'm told that after the death
of your commanding officer,
568
00:24:30,436 --> 00:24:34,337
you took command
of a Minbari war cruiser.
569
00:24:34,339 --> 00:24:37,841
But if you're here,
where's your ship?
570
00:24:48,353 --> 00:24:49,520
Captain.
571
00:24:50,923 --> 00:24:54,591
I apologize
if I was rude earlier.
572
00:24:54,593 --> 00:24:57,294
There is something
we need to discuss,
573
00:24:57,296 --> 00:24:59,897
especially in light
of Kalain's presence.
574
00:24:59,899 --> 00:25:04,034
It concerns the reason
you were sent here,
575
00:25:04,036 --> 00:25:06,202
the relocation
of Commander Sinclair,
576
00:25:06,204 --> 00:25:09,640
and the reason we surrendered
at the battle of the line.
577
00:25:15,781 --> 00:25:17,448
After 3 years,
578
00:25:17,450 --> 00:25:19,817
the holy war that began
579
00:25:19,819 --> 00:25:20,951
when our leader was killed
580
00:25:20,953 --> 00:25:22,753
by an Earth
explorer division
581
00:25:22,755 --> 00:25:25,388
was almost over.
582
00:25:25,390 --> 00:25:26,723
To avenge dukat's death,
583
00:25:26,725 --> 00:25:28,459
we had pursued your forces
584
00:25:28,461 --> 00:25:30,393
all the way back
to your home world.
585
00:25:30,395 --> 00:25:32,496
The few surviving
Earth ships
586
00:25:32,498 --> 00:25:35,999
that were ordered
to defend your world at any cost
587
00:25:36,001 --> 00:25:38,168
were not an obstacle.
588
00:25:38,170 --> 00:25:39,636
The Grey Council had come
589
00:25:39,638 --> 00:25:42,639
to oversee the final victory
of our forces.
590
00:25:42,641 --> 00:25:46,142
They fight bravely.
591
00:25:46,144 --> 00:25:48,411
They cannot
harm our ships,
592
00:25:48,413 --> 00:25:50,814
but they
continue to try.
593
00:25:50,816 --> 00:25:51,982
Whether they fight or not,
594
00:25:51,984 --> 00:25:53,750
they know
they will die anyway,
595
00:25:53,752 --> 00:25:56,753
so, really,
is this bravery...
596
00:25:56,755 --> 00:25:59,756
Or simple desperation?
597
00:25:59,758 --> 00:26:02,425
Perhaps they are
the same thing.
598
00:26:05,197 --> 00:26:07,097
We should bring
one of them aboard
599
00:26:07,099 --> 00:26:08,832
for questioning.
600
00:26:08,834 --> 00:26:09,833
If our next step
601
00:26:09,835 --> 00:26:12,603
is the final assault
on their world,
602
00:26:12,605 --> 00:26:14,437
we must know
their defenses.
603
00:26:14,439 --> 00:26:16,106
Very well, Delenn.
604
00:26:16,108 --> 00:26:17,107
Choose.
605
00:26:17,109 --> 00:26:18,675
But quickly.
606
00:26:18,677 --> 00:26:21,144
We're fast running
out of candidates.
607
00:26:22,915 --> 00:26:24,180
That one.
608
00:26:32,858 --> 00:26:35,358
This was the first time
the Grey Council
609
00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:37,661
would have direct contact
with a human--
610
00:26:37,663 --> 00:26:41,231
in this case, Sinclair.
611
00:26:41,233 --> 00:26:44,868
He was tortured,
interrogated, scanned.
612
00:26:44,870 --> 00:26:46,870
During the course
of the scan,
613
00:26:46,872 --> 00:26:48,872
the council discovered
something terrible.
614
00:26:48,874 --> 00:26:51,107
At first they refused
to believe it,
615
00:26:51,109 --> 00:26:52,743
so they took in other humans
616
00:26:52,745 --> 00:26:54,912
and had them
scanned as well.
617
00:26:54,914 --> 00:26:56,379
But it was true.
618
00:26:56,381 --> 00:26:58,515
What was true?
619
00:27:00,719 --> 00:27:04,220
It is our belief that
every generation of Minbari
620
00:27:04,222 --> 00:27:07,190
is reborn in
each following generation.
621
00:27:07,192 --> 00:27:08,692
Remove those souls,
622
00:27:08,694 --> 00:27:10,727
and the whole suffers.
623
00:27:10,729 --> 00:27:12,996
We are diminished.
624
00:27:12,998 --> 00:27:15,398
Over the last 2,000 years,
625
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,235
there have been fewer Minbari
born into each generation,
626
00:27:19,237 --> 00:27:21,237
and those who are born...
627
00:27:21,239 --> 00:27:25,508
Do not seem equal
to those who came before.
628
00:27:25,510 --> 00:27:27,844
It is almost as if
our greater souls
629
00:27:27,846 --> 00:27:30,380
have been disappearing.
630
00:27:30,382 --> 00:27:32,049
At the battle of the line,
631
00:27:32,051 --> 00:27:36,186
we discovered where
our souls were going.
632
00:27:36,188 --> 00:27:38,589
They were going to you.
633
00:27:38,591 --> 00:27:40,891
Minbari souls
are being reborn,
634
00:27:40,893 --> 00:27:43,259
in part or in full,
635
00:27:43,261 --> 00:27:45,428
in human bodies.
636
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:46,830
So you stopped the war
637
00:27:46,832 --> 00:27:48,732
in order to avoid
harming your own souls?
638
00:27:48,734 --> 00:27:49,800
Yes.
639
00:27:49,802 --> 00:27:52,168
But the council knew
640
00:27:52,170 --> 00:27:53,303
that our people and yours
641
00:27:53,305 --> 00:27:55,138
were not ready
for this information.
642
00:27:55,140 --> 00:27:57,674
It could unravel
our entire society.
643
00:27:57,676 --> 00:28:00,043
So we could not
tell our Generals
644
00:28:00,045 --> 00:28:02,779
the reason
for the surrender.
645
00:28:02,781 --> 00:28:04,781
We had all memory
of the examination
646
00:28:04,783 --> 00:28:06,349
erased from Sinclair's mind,
647
00:28:06,351 --> 00:28:08,785
and we let him go.
648
00:28:08,787 --> 00:28:10,821
It has been our secret.
649
00:28:10,823 --> 00:28:12,322
Now it is yours.
650
00:28:12,324 --> 00:28:14,024
It must be kept.
651
00:28:14,026 --> 00:28:16,459
Then why break
the silence now?
652
00:28:16,461 --> 00:28:17,560
Why tell us?
653
00:28:17,562 --> 00:28:19,863
Because changes are coming.
654
00:28:19,865 --> 00:28:22,232
Commander Sinclair
was the first.
655
00:28:22,234 --> 00:28:24,034
There will be more.
656
00:28:24,036 --> 00:28:26,402
[Beep beep]
657
00:28:26,404 --> 00:28:27,604
Yes?
658
00:28:27,606 --> 00:28:29,305
Captain, we've got
something major
659
00:28:29,307 --> 00:28:30,373
coming through
the jumpgate.
660
00:28:34,546 --> 00:28:37,748
It's a Minbari cruiser.
Her gun ports are open
661
00:28:37,750 --> 00:28:39,683
and targeting systems
are operational.
662
00:28:39,685 --> 00:28:41,184
She's on an attack vector.
663
00:28:41,186 --> 00:28:43,120
Repeat, she's on
attack vector.
664
00:28:48,493 --> 00:28:50,727
I had this wonderful dream
the other night.
665
00:28:50,729 --> 00:28:53,496
We were in bed
in this beautiful hotel.
666
00:28:53,498 --> 00:28:55,431
Rose and mint wallpaper.
667
00:28:55,433 --> 00:28:58,835
Hey, Warren.
Check this out.
668
00:28:58,837 --> 00:29:00,270
Warren:
Hold on just a sec.
669
00:29:04,843 --> 00:29:06,076
[Sighs]
670
00:29:06,078 --> 00:29:07,610
It's getting so a man
couldn't even enjoy
671
00:29:07,612 --> 00:29:09,112
a letter from home
anymore.
672
00:29:09,114 --> 00:29:11,748
What?
673
00:29:13,285 --> 00:29:14,584
What the hell?
674
00:29:15,854 --> 00:29:18,755
Red alert all quarters.
Have they hailed us yet?
675
00:29:18,757 --> 00:29:21,124
Yes, sir.
Awaiting your arrival.
676
00:29:21,126 --> 00:29:22,893
Activate defense grid.
677
00:29:22,895 --> 00:29:24,695
All squadrons
on standby,
678
00:29:24,697 --> 00:29:26,029
but I don't want
any actions
679
00:29:26,031 --> 00:29:27,363
that might be
considered provocative.
680
00:29:27,365 --> 00:29:28,464
Scrambling fighters.
681
00:29:28,466 --> 00:29:30,466
[All shouting at once]
682
00:29:32,137 --> 00:29:33,704
This is a red alert.
683
00:29:33,706 --> 00:29:36,539
All stations,
this is a red alert.
684
00:29:37,642 --> 00:29:39,442
This is a red alert.
685
00:29:39,444 --> 00:29:42,378
All stations,
this is a red alert.
686
00:29:45,184 --> 00:29:46,649
This is
Captain John Sheridan,
687
00:29:46,651 --> 00:29:48,985
Earth Alliance,
station Babylon 5.
688
00:29:48,987 --> 00:29:50,320
What can I do for you?
689
00:29:50,322 --> 00:29:51,621
This is Alyt Deeron
690
00:29:51,623 --> 00:29:54,224
of the Minbari
war cruiser Trigati.
691
00:29:54,226 --> 00:29:56,226
You have illegally arrested
692
00:29:56,228 --> 00:29:58,729
and detained the Captain
of this vessel.
693
00:29:58,731 --> 00:30:01,064
Your Captain assaulted
one of my crew
694
00:30:01,066 --> 00:30:02,999
and was caught
in an attempted murder.
695
00:30:03,001 --> 00:30:04,901
None of your people
were killed.
696
00:30:04,903 --> 00:30:06,937
No Minbari was killed.
697
00:30:06,939 --> 00:30:09,572
You have not been harmed.
698
00:30:09,574 --> 00:30:12,042
You will release
our Captain.
699
00:30:12,044 --> 00:30:13,509
And if we refuse?
700
00:30:13,511 --> 00:30:15,812
Captain,
she's launching fighters.
701
00:30:20,085 --> 00:30:22,853
Zeta wing,
prepare to launch.
702
00:30:22,855 --> 00:30:24,187
We're cleared.
703
00:30:24,189 --> 00:30:26,623
Knot speed, zeta wing.
704
00:30:31,864 --> 00:30:34,264
Deeron, recall
your fighters.
705
00:30:34,266 --> 00:30:36,099
Any attack on this station
706
00:30:36,101 --> 00:30:37,968
will be considered
an act of war.
707
00:30:37,970 --> 00:30:41,071
The war has already
begun, Captain.
708
00:30:41,073 --> 00:30:46,042
All that remains now
is honor and death.
709
00:30:46,044 --> 00:30:49,479
And I thought
I was a pessimist.
710
00:30:49,481 --> 00:30:51,081
It's odd
she would say that.
711
00:30:51,083 --> 00:30:52,715
So far,
no one's been killed,
712
00:30:52,717 --> 00:30:55,952
so there is no reason for
this to escalate, unless...
713
00:30:57,689 --> 00:30:59,222
Oh, hell.
714
00:30:59,224 --> 00:31:01,324
Get me security, fast!
On it!
715
00:31:01,326 --> 00:31:03,093
They're trying to do
anything they can
716
00:31:03,095 --> 00:31:05,662
to start a shooting war.
717
00:31:05,664 --> 00:31:08,665
But Kalain didn't kill
the security guard...
718
00:31:08,667 --> 00:31:10,466
Or any of us.
719
00:31:10,468 --> 00:31:13,469
And the Trigati didn't
attack any of the ships
720
00:31:13,471 --> 00:31:15,471
that have seen it
the last few days.
721
00:31:15,473 --> 00:31:17,740
What ships?
722
00:31:17,742 --> 00:31:19,742
Sorry. I was under orders
not to tell anyone.
723
00:31:19,744 --> 00:31:21,411
I will explain
everything later.
724
00:31:21,413 --> 00:31:23,746
Captain, security
just linked in.
725
00:31:23,748 --> 00:31:26,016
Kalain is dead.
726
00:31:26,018 --> 00:31:27,784
They say it
looks like suicide.
727
00:31:27,786 --> 00:31:28,985
That's what
I was afraid of.
728
00:31:28,987 --> 00:31:30,120
They want it to look like
729
00:31:30,122 --> 00:31:31,988
we are provoking them
into war!
730
00:31:31,990 --> 00:31:33,523
Why? I mean,
this whole bit about us
731
00:31:33,525 --> 00:31:34,958
sharing Minbari souls?
732
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,259
They weren't told,
remember?
733
00:31:36,261 --> 00:31:37,794
They don't know they're
not supposed to attack.
734
00:31:37,796 --> 00:31:39,796
Wouldn't they believe us
if we told them?
735
00:31:39,798 --> 00:31:41,932
Minbari fighters
coming at us.
736
00:31:41,934 --> 00:31:43,867
That answer
your question?
737
00:31:43,869 --> 00:31:45,936
They're on attack vector,
738
00:31:45,938 --> 00:31:47,737
closing fast.
739
00:31:47,739 --> 00:31:50,040
We don't have any choice.
740
00:31:50,042 --> 00:31:51,474
All fighters,
741
00:31:51,476 --> 00:31:54,277
intercept enemy craft
and engage.
742
00:31:54,279 --> 00:31:55,745
Confirmed, Babylon control.
743
00:32:02,787 --> 00:32:04,354
Those are our fighters?
744
00:32:04,356 --> 00:32:06,823
Yes, sir. And those
are the Minbari fighters.
745
00:32:06,825 --> 00:32:09,025
The Minbari.
746
00:32:12,464 --> 00:32:14,898
What kind of tracking
systems are we using?
747
00:32:14,900 --> 00:32:17,600
Standard xb7 units.
Why?
748
00:32:17,602 --> 00:32:19,269
The same kind we used
during the war,
749
00:32:19,271 --> 00:32:21,437
but that doesn't make sense.
750
00:32:21,439 --> 00:32:24,440
We shouldn't be able
to track them at all.
751
00:32:24,442 --> 00:32:26,442
What was that she said?
752
00:32:26,444 --> 00:32:30,613
"All that remains now
is honor and death."
753
00:32:33,551 --> 00:32:35,352
All fighters,
hold position.
754
00:32:35,354 --> 00:32:36,887
Sir, what are you doing?
755
00:32:36,889 --> 00:32:38,554
If they hold position,
they're perfect targets.
756
00:32:38,556 --> 00:32:42,425
Zeta squadron requesting
confirmation of standby order.
757
00:32:42,427 --> 00:32:44,961
Confirm the order.
758
00:32:44,963 --> 00:32:47,230
Confirm it, damn it!
759
00:32:47,232 --> 00:32:49,832
I know what I'm doing.
760
00:32:49,834 --> 00:32:51,634
All fighters confirmed.
761
00:32:51,636 --> 00:32:53,403
Maintain position.
Do not advance.
762
00:32:53,405 --> 00:32:55,505
Repeat, do not advance.
763
00:32:59,711 --> 00:33:02,345
Can you deliver
a narrow band transmission
764
00:33:02,347 --> 00:33:04,247
point to point without
the Trigati intercepting it?
765
00:33:04,249 --> 00:33:05,248
We can adjust
766
00:33:05,250 --> 00:33:06,616
the laser delivery
system, but--
767
00:33:06,618 --> 00:33:08,785
do it.
Then open the jumpgate,
768
00:33:08,787 --> 00:33:11,288
send this message
in a tight beam transmission
769
00:33:11,290 --> 00:33:13,523
through the opening
into hyperspace.
770
00:33:13,525 --> 00:33:15,292
Frequency and address--
it's all there.
771
00:33:15,294 --> 00:33:17,794
Enemy fighters at
30 kilometers and closing.
772
00:33:17,796 --> 00:33:20,030
Activate jumpgate
sequence.
773
00:33:20,032 --> 00:33:22,132
Jumpgate sequence, aye.
774
00:33:30,708 --> 00:33:31,942
If it's
a distress signal,
775
00:33:31,944 --> 00:33:32,943
it won't do
any good.
776
00:33:32,945 --> 00:33:34,110
No one can
get to us in time.
777
00:33:34,112 --> 00:33:37,713
Come on, Babylon control,
give us a break here.
778
00:33:37,715 --> 00:33:40,616
If we're not allowed
to fire, we're dead.
779
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,988
Enemy at 10 kilometers.
780
00:33:44,990 --> 00:33:45,989
8...
781
00:33:45,991 --> 00:33:46,990
Captain...
782
00:33:46,992 --> 00:33:49,159
Hold your fire.
783
00:33:49,161 --> 00:33:51,594
Continue to hold.
784
00:33:51,596 --> 00:33:53,496
What the hell--
785
00:34:00,038 --> 00:34:02,305
I don't understand.
They didn't fire.
786
00:34:02,307 --> 00:34:03,573
They're
looping back,
787
00:34:03,575 --> 00:34:05,241
heading for
the Trigati.
788
00:34:05,243 --> 00:34:06,609
Exactly.
789
00:34:06,611 --> 00:34:07,777
But how did you
know they'd--
790
00:34:07,779 --> 00:34:09,346
we've got something
coming through the jumpgate.
791
00:34:20,492 --> 00:34:21,791
That's why
they didn't fire.
792
00:34:21,793 --> 00:34:23,159
They were waiting
for reinforcements.
793
00:34:23,161 --> 00:34:25,395
Negative.
794
00:34:25,397 --> 00:34:28,098
They're here
because I called them.
795
00:34:28,100 --> 00:34:30,266
I knew
the Minbari government
796
00:34:30,268 --> 00:34:33,336
had sent another cruiser
to look for the Trigati.
797
00:34:33,338 --> 00:34:35,338
But since
no one's seen it,
798
00:34:35,340 --> 00:34:37,840
I figured they were
waiting in hyperspace
799
00:34:37,842 --> 00:34:40,176
until they heard
about another sighting.
800
00:34:40,178 --> 00:34:41,611
Looks like I was right.
801
00:34:41,613 --> 00:34:43,846
That still doesn't
explain how you knew
802
00:34:43,848 --> 00:34:45,048
the Trigati
wouldn't attack.
803
00:34:45,050 --> 00:34:47,750
We're monitoring a signal
from the cruiser.
804
00:34:47,752 --> 00:34:50,020
They're ordering
the Trigati to surrender.
805
00:34:50,022 --> 00:34:51,621
It's like I said,
806
00:34:51,623 --> 00:34:54,190
one of the problems
during the war
807
00:34:54,192 --> 00:34:56,092
was that none of
our weapons systems
808
00:34:56,094 --> 00:34:58,028
could lock on
to the Minbari vessels.
809
00:34:58,030 --> 00:35:01,431
They used some kind
of stealth technology
810
00:35:01,433 --> 00:35:04,100
we were never
able to break.
811
00:35:04,102 --> 00:35:06,403
So how come all of
a sudden we can track them?
812
00:35:06,405 --> 00:35:08,838
They want
to be destroyed?
813
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:13,609
"All that remains
is honor and death."
814
00:35:15,447 --> 00:35:17,980
They have been in exile
for 12 years.
815
00:35:17,982 --> 00:35:19,549
They can't go home.
816
00:35:19,551 --> 00:35:21,817
They can't surrender
without being dishonored,
817
00:35:21,819 --> 00:35:24,354
and they can't
fight without a war.
818
00:35:24,356 --> 00:35:27,057
So by forcing us to attack,
819
00:35:27,059 --> 00:35:29,959
by dying by human hands,
820
00:35:29,961 --> 00:35:31,661
they become martyrs.
821
00:35:31,663 --> 00:35:32,662
And because
you're known
822
00:35:32,664 --> 00:35:33,663
for having fought them,
823
00:35:33,665 --> 00:35:35,165
you're
the perfect target.
824
00:35:35,167 --> 00:35:37,400
The Trigati
is breaking away.
825
00:35:37,402 --> 00:35:39,902
Starting to open
a jump point.
826
00:35:39,904 --> 00:35:41,571
Shall we open fire?
827
00:35:41,573 --> 00:35:43,806
No. The Minbari
will have to do this.
828
00:35:43,808 --> 00:35:44,974
They're targeting
829
00:35:44,976 --> 00:35:46,409
the Trigati's
aft engines.
830
00:35:51,883 --> 00:35:53,616
The Trigati's engines
have been hit.
831
00:35:53,618 --> 00:35:55,017
Unable to make jump.
832
00:35:55,019 --> 00:35:56,786
No change in life signs.
It's a clean hit.
833
00:35:56,788 --> 00:35:58,488
The war cruiser is
ordering the Trigati
834
00:35:58,490 --> 00:36:00,223
to stand down and
prepare to be boarded.
835
00:36:00,225 --> 00:36:01,257
Their response?
836
00:36:01,259 --> 00:36:03,960
Just one word--
"honor."
837
00:36:03,962 --> 00:36:05,361
We're picking up
a change
838
00:36:05,363 --> 00:36:06,696
in the Trigati's
fusion reactors.
839
00:36:06,698 --> 00:36:08,364
They're moving
towards critical.
840
00:36:08,366 --> 00:36:09,999
They're...
841
00:36:10,001 --> 00:36:11,701
Oh, my god.
842
00:36:25,517 --> 00:36:28,618
Signal coming in
from the war cruiser.
843
00:36:31,022 --> 00:36:33,256
Put it through.
844
00:36:34,959 --> 00:36:36,759
This is Captain
John Sheridan,
845
00:36:36,761 --> 00:36:38,027
Babylon 5.
846
00:36:38,029 --> 00:36:39,962
Appreciate the help.
847
00:36:39,964 --> 00:36:42,165
Perhaps to you, this was
a tactical problem
848
00:36:42,167 --> 00:36:43,966
to be solved.
849
00:36:43,968 --> 00:36:46,702
For us, this has
been a great sorrow.
850
00:36:46,704 --> 00:36:48,404
The crew of the Trigati
were heroes
851
00:36:48,406 --> 00:36:50,039
to many of our people.
852
00:36:50,041 --> 00:36:52,875
Their death will be mourned.
853
00:36:52,877 --> 00:36:56,646
And your name
will be remembered.
854
00:37:16,234 --> 00:37:18,601
[Bell chimes]
855
00:37:18,603 --> 00:37:20,270
Yes?
856
00:37:20,272 --> 00:37:22,605
[Door opens]
857
00:37:22,607 --> 00:37:23,839
Thought I'd stop by,
858
00:37:23,841 --> 00:37:26,909
see if all your
things arrived.
859
00:37:26,911 --> 00:37:28,278
Yes, yes.
860
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,181
Everything's present
and accounted for.
861
00:37:34,118 --> 00:37:35,951
Something wrong?
862
00:37:39,924 --> 00:37:42,425
When I got my orders...
863
00:37:42,427 --> 00:37:46,462
I figured this place
was a great opportunity.
864
00:37:48,933 --> 00:37:51,434
And now I wonder if...
865
00:37:51,436 --> 00:37:54,704
Coming here
was irresponsible.
866
00:37:54,706 --> 00:37:56,906
This whole mess
with the Trigati
867
00:37:56,908 --> 00:37:59,409
might not have happened
if I hadn't been here.
868
00:37:59,411 --> 00:38:00,810
I mean, my presence,
869
00:38:00,812 --> 00:38:04,447
my...actions in the war...
870
00:38:09,454 --> 00:38:10,520
I'm to blame
871
00:38:10,522 --> 00:38:12,488
for bringing all this
trouble to Babylon 5.
872
00:38:12,490 --> 00:38:15,458
What was it our friend
in the Grey Council said?
873
00:38:15,460 --> 00:38:16,792
"If there's a doom
on this station,
874
00:38:16,794 --> 00:38:18,528
it was you
who brought it here."
875
00:38:18,530 --> 00:38:21,698
Well,
maybe he was right.
876
00:38:24,236 --> 00:38:27,737
I spoke with the President.
877
00:38:27,739 --> 00:38:29,305
He is the only other human
878
00:38:29,307 --> 00:38:32,074
who knows why
the Minbari surrendered.
879
00:38:32,076 --> 00:38:33,710
And he doesn't
believe this stuff
880
00:38:33,712 --> 00:38:35,411
about us sharing
Minbari souls,
881
00:38:35,413 --> 00:38:38,381
and I can't say
that I do either.
882
00:38:38,383 --> 00:38:40,316
But they believe it.
883
00:38:40,318 --> 00:38:42,785
That's why they chose
Sinclair to run this place.
884
00:38:42,787 --> 00:38:45,921
That's why they picked him
to live on their world.
885
00:38:45,923 --> 00:38:48,324
He was their first
human contact.
886
00:38:48,326 --> 00:38:50,593
Him they trust.
887
00:38:50,595 --> 00:38:52,194
But me?
888
00:38:55,433 --> 00:38:57,567
I don't know.
889
00:38:57,569 --> 00:39:00,002
If Sinclair
had been here instead,
890
00:39:00,004 --> 00:39:02,472
maybe they might not
have attacked.
891
00:39:02,474 --> 00:39:05,207
Maybe they would have.
892
00:39:05,209 --> 00:39:06,542
I learned a while ago
that there's
893
00:39:06,544 --> 00:39:08,444
enough guilt in
the world to go around
894
00:39:08,446 --> 00:39:09,579
without grabbing
for more.
895
00:39:11,316 --> 00:39:14,484
Give yourself the
benefit of the doubt.
896
00:39:16,087 --> 00:39:17,587
Anyway, if you
ever want to talk
897
00:39:17,589 --> 00:39:19,088
about this some more,
898
00:39:19,090 --> 00:39:21,957
you know where
to find me...Anytime.
899
00:39:27,165 --> 00:39:31,167
I told them, Delenn,
as I was ordered.
900
00:39:31,169 --> 00:39:34,637
I only wish I could have
told them the rest--
901
00:39:34,639 --> 00:39:37,573
about the great enemy
that is returning
902
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:41,043
and the prophecy that
the 2 sides of our spirit
903
00:39:41,045 --> 00:39:44,514
must unite against
the darkness or be destroyed.
904
00:39:44,516 --> 00:39:48,017
They say it will take
both of our races
905
00:39:48,019 --> 00:39:50,620
to stop the darkness.
906
00:39:50,622 --> 00:39:52,655
I'm told that the Earthers
907
00:39:52,657 --> 00:39:55,024
will discover all this
soon enough
908
00:39:55,026 --> 00:39:56,659
on their own.
909
00:39:56,661 --> 00:39:58,361
I hope they are right.
910
00:39:58,363 --> 00:40:00,863
Because if we are wrong,
911
00:40:00,865 --> 00:40:03,866
no one will survive
our mistake.
912
00:40:06,070 --> 00:40:08,771
Good night, Delenn.

[Jazz music plays]
914
00:40:37,369 --> 00:40:38,768
I'm not saying I mind
915
00:40:38,770 --> 00:40:41,103
looking an entire squadron
of Minbari fighters
916
00:40:41,105 --> 00:40:42,739
right in the eye,
917
00:40:42,741 --> 00:40:44,507
and I'm not saying
I mind sitting there
918
00:40:44,509 --> 00:40:45,875
with my weapons system
turned off,
919
00:40:45,877 --> 00:40:47,510
waiting to be splashed.
920
00:40:47,512 --> 00:40:49,545
I'm just saying
the next time this happens--
921
00:40:49,547 --> 00:40:50,946
if there is
a next time.
922
00:40:50,948 --> 00:40:52,948
If someone could,
oh, I don't know,
923
00:40:52,950 --> 00:40:54,617
maybe explain it to me,
924
00:40:54,619 --> 00:40:56,318
this would definitely
be a good thing
925
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,821
for my limited and admittedly
subjective point of view.
926
00:40:58,823 --> 00:40:59,822
You catch that?
927
00:40:59,824 --> 00:41:01,624
He wants explanations,
he wants logic.
928
00:41:01,626 --> 00:41:03,025
Well, logic
is a good thing.
929
00:41:03,027 --> 00:41:04,527
What it has to do
with the Earthforce
930
00:41:04,529 --> 00:41:05,528
is anybody's guess.
931
00:41:05,530 --> 00:41:06,696
Yeah, I suppose.
932
00:41:06,698 --> 00:41:10,199
So, what does everybody
think of our new Captain?
933
00:41:10,201 --> 00:41:12,001
Well, I haven't seen
too much of him,
934
00:41:12,003 --> 00:41:13,235
but what I have
seen, I like.
935
00:41:13,237 --> 00:41:15,237
I think he's
gonna be ok.
936
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:16,238
Susan?
937
00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:17,740
I agree. It's funny,
938
00:41:17,742 --> 00:41:18,741
he was supposed to
meet us here
939
00:41:18,743 --> 00:41:19,742
for drinks.
940
00:41:19,744 --> 00:41:21,010
Whatever could be
hanging him up?
941
00:41:21,012 --> 00:41:22,344
Well, the last
time I saw him,
942
00:41:22,346 --> 00:41:24,847
he said something
about having a half hour
943
00:41:24,849 --> 00:41:26,649
to give some
good-luck speech
944
00:41:26,651 --> 00:41:28,250
or it wouldn't count.
945
00:41:28,252 --> 00:41:29,752
When was that?
946
00:41:29,754 --> 00:41:31,253
About 20 minutes ago.
947
00:41:31,255 --> 00:41:32,688
Oh, no.
948
00:41:32,690 --> 00:41:33,890
Of all the times
949
00:41:33,892 --> 00:41:36,091
he could have
picked.
950
00:41:36,093 --> 00:41:38,661
It was an early
Earth President,
951
00:41:38,663 --> 00:41:40,430
Abraham Lincoln,
952
00:41:40,432 --> 00:41:43,933
who best described
our situation.
953
00:41:45,136 --> 00:41:48,504
"The dogmas
of the quiet past
954
00:41:48,506 --> 00:41:53,943
are inadequate
to the stormy present."
955
00:41:53,945 --> 00:41:56,779
"The occasion is piled high
with difficulty,
956
00:41:56,781 --> 00:42:01,250
"and we must rise
to the occasion.
957
00:42:01,252 --> 00:42:04,186
"We cannot escape history.
958
00:42:04,188 --> 00:42:08,791
We will be remembered
in spite of ourselves."
959
00:42:10,728 --> 00:42:14,630
"The fiery trial
through which we pass
960
00:42:14,632 --> 00:42:18,634
"will light us down
in honor or dishonor...
961
00:42:18,636 --> 00:42:21,136
To the last generation."
962
00:42:23,074 --> 00:42:26,476
"We shall nobly save
963
00:42:26,478 --> 00:42:29,579
"or meanly lose...
964
00:42:29,581 --> 00:42:34,484
Our last, best hope
of Earth."
965
00:42:44,261 --> 00:42:46,662
5 minutes to spare.
