1
00:00:17,951 --> 00:00:19,784
Ah, Londo.
2
00:00:21,288 --> 00:00:22,787
Good to see you
again.
3
00:00:22,789 --> 00:00:24,623
And you, Refa.
4
00:00:24,625 --> 00:00:26,125
You look well.
5
00:00:26,127 --> 00:00:27,792
Exciting times,
Mollari,
6
00:00:27,794 --> 00:00:31,296
they fire the blood
and the mind.
7
00:00:31,298 --> 00:00:32,631
Leave us.
8
00:00:34,902 --> 00:00:36,301
Refa...
9
00:00:36,303 --> 00:00:38,137
The Emperor?
10
00:00:38,139 --> 00:00:40,805
He is out
among his people,
11
00:00:40,807 --> 00:00:44,809
basking in their almost
Sincere adulation.
12
00:00:44,811 --> 00:00:46,478
He has left things here
13
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:48,647
in the hands
of his court...
14
00:00:48,649 --> 00:00:51,650
Which can function just
as well without him,
15
00:00:51,652 --> 00:00:52,984
sometimes better.
16
00:00:52,986 --> 00:00:55,454
A point that I'm sure
has not been lost on him.
17
00:00:55,456 --> 00:00:56,988
I will only say
18
00:00:56,990 --> 00:00:58,490
he appreciates
his position
19
00:00:58,492 --> 00:00:59,658
and ours...
20
00:00:59,660 --> 00:01:00,825
And yours.
21
00:01:00,827 --> 00:01:03,562
You've been much in
our thoughts lately.
22
00:01:03,564 --> 00:01:06,498
We know this has been
a hard time for you.
23
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:07,832
Our work here--
24
00:01:07,834 --> 00:01:11,002
has cost me the life
of one friend already.
25
00:01:11,004 --> 00:01:13,338
How many more
do you have lined up?
26
00:01:13,340 --> 00:01:15,674
What has happened
in the past
27
00:01:15,676 --> 00:01:17,342
is unfortunate,
Londo,
28
00:01:17,344 --> 00:01:18,843
but for the sake
of our people,
29
00:01:18,845 --> 00:01:20,612
we must learn
from our mistakes
30
00:01:20,614 --> 00:01:21,613
and move on.
31
00:01:21,615 --> 00:01:22,847
Lord Refa,
32
00:01:22,849 --> 00:01:26,685
I have come a long way,
and I am tired.
33
00:01:26,687 --> 00:01:28,019
Is there a reason
34
00:01:28,021 --> 00:01:29,921
I have been summoned
here now?
35
00:01:29,923 --> 00:01:31,523
Indeed there is.
36
00:01:31,525 --> 00:01:33,692
I have good news.
37
00:01:33,694 --> 00:01:36,695
The war which began
6 months ago
38
00:01:36,697 --> 00:01:38,197
is about to end
39
00:01:38,199 --> 00:01:40,832
sooner than any of us
could have hoped.
40
00:01:40,834 --> 00:01:43,702
And you, Londo Mollari,
41
00:01:43,704 --> 00:01:47,473
will be the architect
of our victory.
42
00:02:17,004 --> 00:02:19,404
Hello, dear friend.
43
00:02:19,406 --> 00:02:22,407
Ha ha ha ha ha.
44
00:02:22,409 --> 00:02:24,243
That's funny.
45
00:02:24,245 --> 00:02:25,511
What?
46
00:02:25,513 --> 00:02:27,078
I'm picking up
an energy surge
47
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,079
from the planet below.
48
00:02:28,081 --> 00:02:29,248
You sure?
49
00:02:29,250 --> 00:02:31,049
Of course I'm sure.
Take a look for yourself.
50
00:02:31,051 --> 00:02:33,152
The Commander was afraid
51
00:02:33,154 --> 00:02:34,486
something like this
might happen again
52
00:02:34,488 --> 00:02:35,487
one of these days.
53
00:02:35,489 --> 00:02:36,488
Something
like what?
54
00:02:36,490 --> 00:02:38,056
Station 3
to Commander Ivanova.
55
00:02:38,058 --> 00:02:40,259
[Shower running]
56
00:02:56,277 --> 00:02:58,443
[Beeping]
57
00:03:00,614 --> 00:03:01,780
Yes?
58
00:03:01,782 --> 00:03:03,782
Captain, I just
wanted to let you know
59
00:03:03,784 --> 00:03:05,450
we're picking up some
unusual signals
60
00:03:05,452 --> 00:03:07,452
from the planet below.
61
00:03:07,454 --> 00:03:09,621
Ivanova...
62
00:03:09,623 --> 00:03:10,622
Ivanova?
63
00:03:10,624 --> 00:03:12,591
Hello, Captain.
64
00:03:12,593 --> 00:03:15,960
I do hope I'm not
inconveniencing you,
65
00:03:15,962 --> 00:03:19,130
but I think
we should talk.
66
00:03:22,536 --> 00:03:23,802
Sheridan:
The Babylon project
67
00:03:23,804 --> 00:03:27,706
was our last best hope
for peace--
68
00:03:27,708 --> 00:03:30,975
a self-contained world
5 miles long
69
00:03:30,977 --> 00:03:32,944
located in
neutral territory...
70
00:03:35,716 --> 00:03:38,317
A place of commerce
and diplomacy
71
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:42,221
for a 1/4 million
humans and aliens...
72
00:03:42,223 --> 00:03:47,626
A shining beacon in space,
all alone in the night.
73
00:03:47,628 --> 00:03:51,062
It was the dawn
of the third age of mankind,
74
00:03:51,064 --> 00:03:54,233
the year the great war
came upon us all.
75
00:03:55,502 --> 00:03:57,001
This is the story
76
00:03:57,003 --> 00:03:59,671
of the last
of the Babylon stations.
77
00:03:59,673 --> 00:04:01,506
The year is 2259.
78
00:04:01,508 --> 00:04:04,343
The name of the place is...
79
00:04:50,224 --> 00:04:51,556
I've been watching you
80
00:04:51,558 --> 00:04:53,692
for quite some time,
Captain.
81
00:04:53,694 --> 00:04:55,393
And I thought
it was time
82
00:04:55,395 --> 00:04:57,395
that I
introduced myself.
83
00:04:57,397 --> 00:05:01,733
My name is Draal.
84
00:05:01,735 --> 00:05:03,801
How do you do?
85
00:05:03,803 --> 00:05:05,437
Uh, I'm fine. Fine.
86
00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:07,706
Good.
87
00:05:07,708 --> 00:05:11,142
You don't have any idea
who I am, do you?
88
00:05:11,144 --> 00:05:12,577
Unless there's
another Draal
89
00:05:12,579 --> 00:05:14,446
who could do
what you just did,
90
00:05:14,448 --> 00:05:16,281
you're the Minbari
who took custody
91
00:05:16,283 --> 00:05:17,749
of the planet
we're orbiting.
92
00:05:17,751 --> 00:05:18,750
Ah, Captain,
93
00:05:18,752 --> 00:05:21,286
you do not take
custody of the planet,
94
00:05:21,288 --> 00:05:23,788
the planet takes
custody of you.
95
00:05:23,790 --> 00:05:25,457
It chose me
96
00:05:25,459 --> 00:05:27,459
when the one
who lived
97
00:05:27,461 --> 00:05:29,093
in the heart
of the machine
98
00:05:29,095 --> 00:05:30,795
lay dying.
99
00:05:30,797 --> 00:05:32,364
Since then,
100
00:05:32,366 --> 00:05:33,965
it has nourished me,
101
00:05:33,967 --> 00:05:36,334
returned to me
my youth
102
00:05:36,336 --> 00:05:39,804
and appearance
of 30 years ago.
103
00:05:39,806 --> 00:05:43,841
I am but a steward,
a guardian here
104
00:05:43,843 --> 00:05:47,011
for a short while
and then gone,
105
00:05:47,013 --> 00:05:49,281
a humble--
I can come back
106
00:05:49,283 --> 00:05:51,048
after you finish
dressing.
107
00:05:51,050 --> 00:05:52,550
No, no. It's fine.
108
00:05:52,552 --> 00:05:54,586
I wouldn't wish to
be an inconvenience.
109
00:05:54,588 --> 00:05:55,787
You're not. I--
110
00:05:55,789 --> 00:05:56,954
a humble guardian
111
00:05:56,956 --> 00:05:59,658
of the great and
terrible secrets
112
00:05:59,660 --> 00:06:03,495
that have been
entrusted to my care.
113
00:06:03,497 --> 00:06:04,862
You were saying?
114
00:06:04,864 --> 00:06:06,798
I've been wondering
115
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,334
if you would ever
make contact.
116
00:06:09,336 --> 00:06:11,969
I've read the reports
about what happened,
117
00:06:11,971 --> 00:06:13,305
and after a while,
118
00:06:13,307 --> 00:06:15,139
I began to wonder
if you were real or not.
119
00:06:15,141 --> 00:06:17,342
Quite real, Captain.
120
00:06:17,344 --> 00:06:20,445
I'm here to invite you
down for a visit.
121
00:06:20,447 --> 00:06:21,513
A visit?
122
00:06:22,849 --> 00:06:25,650
Well, yes, of--
I suppose.
123
00:06:25,652 --> 00:06:26,818
Uh, when?
124
00:06:26,820 --> 00:06:29,521
Whenever is most
convenient for you,
125
00:06:29,523 --> 00:06:32,223
and whenever is most
convenient for you
126
00:06:32,225 --> 00:06:36,227
is as soon as possible.
Trust me.
127
00:06:36,229 --> 00:06:38,029
Uh, wait.
128
00:06:38,031 --> 00:06:39,864
What about your
planet's defenses?
129
00:06:39,866 --> 00:06:41,165
How do I contact you?
130
00:06:41,167 --> 00:06:42,233
Details.
131
00:06:42,235 --> 00:06:43,535
Details.
132
00:06:43,537 --> 00:06:45,870
Oh, and you can bring
one other.
133
00:06:45,872 --> 00:06:47,372
You'll know who.
134
00:06:51,411 --> 00:06:55,146
The war does not go well
for us, G'Kar.
135
00:06:55,148 --> 00:06:56,481
Our outposts
and colonies
136
00:06:56,483 --> 00:06:58,717
at shi, dross,
and zok
137
00:06:58,719 --> 00:07:00,385
have all
been conquered.
138
00:07:00,387 --> 00:07:03,355
In the last 7 days,
we have lost all contact
139
00:07:03,357 --> 00:07:05,357
with our holdings
in that sector.
140
00:07:05,359 --> 00:07:06,524
So we must assume
141
00:07:06,526 --> 00:07:08,827
that they have
fallen as well.
142
00:07:08,829 --> 00:07:10,061
Dear G'Quan.
143
00:07:10,063 --> 00:07:12,564
The Centauri
have pushed us back
144
00:07:12,566 --> 00:07:15,900
further than we have
ever been for 30 years.
145
00:07:15,902 --> 00:07:17,369
Their forces are
closing in on us
146
00:07:17,371 --> 00:07:18,903
in every direction.
147
00:07:18,905 --> 00:07:21,072
Warleader G'sten,
I don't understand.
148
00:07:21,074 --> 00:07:23,941
I'd heard none of this
during my weekly briefings.
149
00:07:23,943 --> 00:07:27,211
The kha'ri is trying
to perpetuate the belief
150
00:07:27,213 --> 00:07:29,881
that we
are holding our own.
151
00:07:29,883 --> 00:07:30,948
We're not.
152
00:07:30,950 --> 00:07:32,950
Then there is no hope.
153
00:07:32,952 --> 00:07:35,253
There's always hope.
154
00:07:35,255 --> 00:07:36,421
Heh heh.
155
00:07:36,423 --> 00:07:38,923
At least that's
what I tell myself
156
00:07:38,925 --> 00:07:40,592
when I awaken in
the middle of the night
157
00:07:40,594 --> 00:07:42,927
and the only sound
I can hear
158
00:07:42,929 --> 00:07:46,264
is the beating of
my own desperate heart.
159
00:07:46,266 --> 00:07:48,266
We have one chance.
160
00:07:50,937 --> 00:07:53,772
We have located
the supply world
161
00:07:53,774 --> 00:07:55,940
for the Centauri
main force...
162
00:07:55,942 --> 00:07:59,110
Here at Gorash 7.
163
00:07:59,112 --> 00:08:01,413
It's heavily guarded
but open to attack
164
00:08:01,415 --> 00:08:03,948
if we commit the bulk
of our forces
165
00:08:03,950 --> 00:08:06,350
for one all-out strike.
166
00:08:06,352 --> 00:08:09,387
Many of our ships
will not return,
167
00:08:09,389 --> 00:08:10,955
but if we strike
hard enough,
168
00:08:10,957 --> 00:08:12,924
we can cut
their supply line.
169
00:08:12,926 --> 00:08:15,092
An attack like this
should make them think
170
00:08:15,094 --> 00:08:18,362
that we are launching
a new offensive,
171
00:08:18,364 --> 00:08:21,132
that perhaps they have
underestimated our forces.
172
00:08:21,134 --> 00:08:24,469
Their entire campaign
has been cautious.
173
00:08:24,471 --> 00:08:27,138
This should
make them pull back
174
00:08:27,140 --> 00:08:29,574
and reexamine
their strategy.
175
00:08:29,576 --> 00:08:31,443
And with luck,
this will buy us time
176
00:08:31,445 --> 00:08:32,944
to bolster
our lines of defense.
177
00:08:32,946 --> 00:08:34,045
Exactly.
178
00:08:34,047 --> 00:08:35,980
If we make them pay
179
00:08:35,982 --> 00:08:38,149
for every inch
of space,
180
00:08:38,151 --> 00:08:40,318
we can
wear them down,
181
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:41,820
prolonging the war
beyond
182
00:08:41,822 --> 00:08:44,889
their capacity
to fight it.
183
00:08:44,891 --> 00:08:48,493
The Centauri want
a quick victory.
184
00:08:48,495 --> 00:08:50,328
They don't have
the stomach
185
00:08:50,330 --> 00:08:51,796
for prolonging the war.
186
00:08:51,798 --> 00:08:53,431
There is a danger,
G'sten.
187
00:08:53,433 --> 00:08:55,467
Drawing off our forces
like this
188
00:08:55,469 --> 00:08:58,603
will leave homeworld with
only a skeleton defense.
189
00:08:58,605 --> 00:09:00,304
I know,
but if we go on
190
00:09:00,306 --> 00:09:01,639
fighting the way
we have been,
191
00:09:01,641 --> 00:09:03,641
sooner or later,
homeworld will fall.
192
00:09:03,643 --> 00:09:06,010
We must change
our strategy quickly.
193
00:09:06,012 --> 00:09:08,312
Even in our
worst projections,
194
00:09:08,314 --> 00:09:11,015
we will always have
enough surviving ships
195
00:09:11,017 --> 00:09:13,785
to effectively
defend homeworld.
196
00:09:13,787 --> 00:09:16,354
They will only be gone
for a little while.
197
00:09:16,356 --> 00:09:17,856
The window
of vulnerability
198
00:09:17,858 --> 00:09:19,991
is very small.
199
00:09:19,993 --> 00:09:22,660
I pray you're right,
G'sten.
200
00:09:22,662 --> 00:09:25,096
I wish I were
going with you.
201
00:09:25,098 --> 00:09:27,331
Hmm.
202
00:09:27,333 --> 00:09:29,868
Your place
is here, G'Kar.
203
00:09:29,870 --> 00:09:33,037
We will need
alliances, support,
204
00:09:33,039 --> 00:09:34,506
even sympathy.
205
00:09:34,508 --> 00:09:38,175
In the final analysis,
your work here
206
00:09:38,177 --> 00:09:42,179
could be more important
than a fleet of ships.
207
00:09:42,181 --> 00:09:45,182
But how could I go off
without saying goodbye
208
00:09:45,184 --> 00:09:48,019
to my favorite nephew?
209
00:09:48,021 --> 00:09:49,521
Your father...
210
00:09:49,523 --> 00:09:53,190
Would be very proud
of you, G'Kar.
211
00:09:55,862 --> 00:09:57,595
Be well.
212
00:09:59,298 --> 00:10:01,599
And you, G'sten.
213
00:10:13,379 --> 00:10:14,378
[Beep]
214
00:10:14,380 --> 00:10:15,880
Oh, Captain,
here you are.
215
00:10:15,882 --> 00:10:17,048
I was looking for you.
216
00:10:17,050 --> 00:10:18,550
Uh, this isn't
a good time, Ambassador.
217
00:10:18,552 --> 00:10:19,551
I'm in kind of a hurry.
218
00:10:19,553 --> 00:10:22,587
I know. He appeared
to me as well.
219
00:10:22,589 --> 00:10:24,088
Well, perhaps
we should continue
220
00:10:24,090 --> 00:10:26,591
if you're in such
a terrible hurry.
221
00:10:27,894 --> 00:10:29,226
Perhaps we should.
222
00:10:29,228 --> 00:10:31,228
You are sure that your
information is correct?
223
00:10:31,230 --> 00:10:32,363
Of course.
224
00:10:32,365 --> 00:10:34,566
We intercepted
a coded transmission
225
00:10:34,568 --> 00:10:36,067
from the Narn
strategic command
226
00:10:36,069 --> 00:10:37,835
to one of
their flagships.
227
00:10:37,837 --> 00:10:41,105
They intend to
strike at Gorash 7.
228
00:10:41,107 --> 00:10:42,607
Could be misinformation--
229
00:10:42,609 --> 00:10:45,276
an attempt to draw off
our main force
230
00:10:45,278 --> 00:10:46,778
while they strike
elsewhere.
231
00:10:46,780 --> 00:10:48,580
Yes. I have heard
this from others
232
00:10:48,582 --> 00:10:51,415
in the Centaurum,
but I don't think so.
233
00:10:51,417 --> 00:10:54,418
It has just the right
ring of desperation
234
00:10:54,420 --> 00:10:55,587
to be true.
235
00:10:55,589 --> 00:10:57,755
It took some doing,
but I managed
236
00:10:57,757 --> 00:10:59,523
to convince
some of our generals
237
00:10:59,525 --> 00:11:01,258
that the message
is genuine--
238
00:11:01,260 --> 00:11:03,027
enough for
what is necessary.
239
00:11:03,029 --> 00:11:04,596
Then you're going to be
waiting for them
240
00:11:04,598 --> 00:11:05,997
at Gorash 7, yes?
241
00:11:05,999 --> 00:11:07,531
No.
242
00:11:07,533 --> 00:11:09,767
What, are you mad?
243
00:11:09,769 --> 00:11:12,103
They will destroy
our supply lines.
244
00:11:12,105 --> 00:11:14,338
Not if your forces are
there waiting for them.
245
00:11:14,340 --> 00:11:15,473
My forces?
246
00:11:15,475 --> 00:11:17,108
Where will all
your generals be
247
00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:18,242
during this, hmm?
248
00:11:18,244 --> 00:11:19,978
Launching a full assault
249
00:11:19,980 --> 00:11:22,546
on the Narn homeworld
itself.
250
00:11:25,585 --> 00:11:27,318
Great maker!
251
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,253
You can't be serious.
252
00:11:29,255 --> 00:11:30,454
Of course
I'm serious.
253
00:11:30,456 --> 00:11:33,658
Refa, any force
attempting to invade Narn
254
00:11:33,660 --> 00:11:36,928
would be up to its neck
in blood--its own.
255
00:11:36,930 --> 00:11:39,497
We have no intention
of invading Narn.
256
00:11:39,499 --> 00:11:40,965
Flattening it, yes,
257
00:11:40,967 --> 00:11:42,566
but invading it?
258
00:11:42,568 --> 00:11:44,636
We will be using
mass drivers.
259
00:11:44,638 --> 00:11:46,104
By the time
we are done,
260
00:11:46,106 --> 00:11:47,639
their cities
will be in ruins.
261
00:11:47,641 --> 00:11:49,140
We can move in
at our leisure.
262
00:11:49,142 --> 00:11:50,508
Mass drivers?
263
00:11:50,510 --> 00:11:53,544
They have been outlawed
by every civilized planet.
264
00:11:53,546 --> 00:11:55,412
These are
uncivilized times.
265
00:11:55,414 --> 00:11:56,814
We have treaties.
266
00:11:56,816 --> 00:11:58,449
Ink on a page.
267
00:11:58,451 --> 00:12:01,019
This one move
will end the war
268
00:12:01,021 --> 00:12:02,954
in days
instead of months
269
00:12:02,956 --> 00:12:05,356
and save thousands
of Centauri lives.
270
00:12:05,358 --> 00:12:07,158
We only require
your assistance
271
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,592
and that
of your allies.
272
00:12:08,594 --> 00:12:09,827
Listen to me, Refa,
273
00:12:09,829 --> 00:12:12,363
my allies have begun
to worry me.
274
00:12:12,365 --> 00:12:13,831
Reports I have received--
275
00:12:13,833 --> 00:12:15,633
their sheer strength!
276
00:12:15,635 --> 00:12:17,535
Yes. They are
very powerful,
277
00:12:17,537 --> 00:12:19,203
which is what we need.
278
00:12:19,205 --> 00:12:21,605
I don't understand
your reluctance, Londo.
279
00:12:21,607 --> 00:12:23,207
I am not reluctant.
280
00:12:23,209 --> 00:12:26,343
I just feel that things
are moving too quickly.
281
00:12:26,345 --> 00:12:28,512
They threaten to spin
out of control.
282
00:12:28,514 --> 00:12:29,513
Nonsense.
283
00:12:29,515 --> 00:12:31,382
We know exactly
what we're doing,
284
00:12:31,384 --> 00:12:33,818
and now is not
the time for doubts.
285
00:12:33,820 --> 00:12:35,887
Mollari, we're here
because of you.
286
00:12:35,889 --> 00:12:39,523
It's a little late
to back out now.
287
00:12:39,525 --> 00:12:41,525
Londo...
Everything depends
288
00:12:41,527 --> 00:12:42,894
on your cooperation.
289
00:12:42,896 --> 00:12:44,028
At this very moment,
290
00:12:44,030 --> 00:12:46,064
a dozen of our largest
battle cruisers
291
00:12:46,066 --> 00:12:48,066
are standing by
in hyperspace
292
00:12:48,068 --> 00:12:50,201
waiting for
your decision.
293
00:12:50,203 --> 00:12:52,904
If you wish
to serve our people,
294
00:12:52,906 --> 00:12:54,371
how better to do so
295
00:12:54,373 --> 00:12:56,841
than to end this war
quickly,
296
00:12:56,843 --> 00:12:58,242
gloriously,
297
00:12:58,244 --> 00:13:00,644
with a minimum
of Centauri blood.
298
00:13:02,849 --> 00:13:04,082
All right.
299
00:13:04,084 --> 00:13:06,584
I will bring
my associates into this,
300
00:13:06,586 --> 00:13:09,087
but this is
the last time.
301
00:13:09,089 --> 00:13:10,755
We are Centauri.
302
00:13:10,757 --> 00:13:13,424
If we are to seize
our destiny,
303
00:13:13,426 --> 00:13:15,426
we must do it
ourselves.
304
00:13:15,428 --> 00:13:16,594
After this...
305
00:13:16,596 --> 00:13:17,995
No more.
306
00:13:17,997 --> 00:13:21,199
After this there will
no longer be a need.
307
00:13:21,201 --> 00:13:22,967
Thank you, Londo.
308
00:13:24,771 --> 00:13:25,937
Cheer up.
309
00:13:25,939 --> 00:13:28,239
By the time you return
to Babylon 5,
310
00:13:28,241 --> 00:13:29,741
the war will be over,
311
00:13:29,743 --> 00:13:31,709
and the Narns
will be at our feet,
312
00:13:31,711 --> 00:13:33,444
and this time...
313
00:13:33,446 --> 00:13:35,613
We will keep them there.
314
00:13:42,254 --> 00:13:43,754
We still have to be sure
315
00:13:43,756 --> 00:13:45,756
this message is
what it appears to be.
316
00:13:45,758 --> 00:13:47,257
Of course it is.
Do you think
317
00:13:47,259 --> 00:13:49,259
I would not recognize
my old teacher?
318
00:13:49,261 --> 00:13:50,394
Well, to be fair,
Delenn,
319
00:13:50,396 --> 00:13:51,762
he didn't exactly
look the same
320
00:13:51,764 --> 00:13:52,997
as he does in
the station records.
321
00:13:52,999 --> 00:13:55,265
No. He looks
stronger, more fit,
322
00:13:55,267 --> 00:13:57,167
just as he did when
he was my mentor.
323
00:13:57,169 --> 00:13:58,268
There's always the chance
324
00:13:58,270 --> 00:13:59,604
that someone might send
a bogus message.
325
00:13:59,606 --> 00:14:00,671
But why?
326
00:14:00,673 --> 00:14:02,272
How about to get
the both of you in a ship
327
00:14:02,274 --> 00:14:04,174
headed for the planet?
Which, if we remember
328
00:14:04,176 --> 00:14:05,943
our last warning,
would end up with you
329
00:14:05,945 --> 00:14:07,612
being shot down, lasered,
or otherwise scattered
330
00:14:07,614 --> 00:14:08,746
all over the landscape.
331
00:14:08,748 --> 00:14:10,681
Draal would
never do that.
332
00:14:10,683 --> 00:14:12,282
I know him too well.
333
00:14:12,284 --> 00:14:14,451
That was before he went into
that machine running the planet.
334
00:14:14,453 --> 00:14:15,786
Who knows
what he's like now?
335
00:14:15,788 --> 00:14:17,788
And that's assuming he's the one
who sent the message
336
00:14:17,790 --> 00:14:19,090
in the first place.
337
00:14:19,092 --> 00:14:20,424
Captain,
we just finished
338
00:14:20,426 --> 00:14:22,627
our scan of Epsilon 3.
The message came from
339
00:14:22,629 --> 00:14:24,361
3 miles inside
the planet's surface.
340
00:14:24,363 --> 00:14:26,363
It's genuine,
all right.
341
00:14:26,365 --> 00:14:28,799
Well, that
settles it then.
342
00:14:28,801 --> 00:14:30,534
He's made
the invitation,
343
00:14:30,536 --> 00:14:32,469
and I don't see
how I can say no.
344
00:14:32,471 --> 00:14:33,804
I mean, we're
next-door neighbors,
345
00:14:33,806 --> 00:14:34,972
and he's right--
it's about time
346
00:14:34,974 --> 00:14:36,140
we got to know each other.
347
00:14:36,142 --> 00:14:37,474
Well, I'd feel
a lot more comfortable
348
00:14:37,476 --> 00:14:38,809
about this situation
if you'd let me
349
00:14:38,811 --> 00:14:39,877
send a security team
with you.
350
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:42,479
He told me I could
only bring one other
351
00:14:42,481 --> 00:14:44,915
and that I would know
who he was referring to.
352
00:14:44,917 --> 00:14:46,817
I'm ready to depart
353
00:14:46,819 --> 00:14:48,786
whenever you are,
Captain.
354
00:14:51,057 --> 00:14:52,222
Ah, Mollari.
355
00:14:52,224 --> 00:14:54,725
I was just about
to send for you.
356
00:14:54,727 --> 00:14:56,226
Go ahead, gentlemen.
357
00:14:58,397 --> 00:14:59,797
It's time to go.
358
00:14:59,799 --> 00:15:01,065
Go where?
359
00:15:01,067 --> 00:15:02,967
To the Narn homeworld,
of course.
360
00:15:02,969 --> 00:15:04,869
I've reserved a place for us
aboard the Valerius.
361
00:15:04,871 --> 00:15:06,403
It leaves within the hour.
362
00:15:06,405 --> 00:15:09,073
We will be at the head
of the fleet
363
00:15:09,075 --> 00:15:11,976
to personally
oversee our victory.
364
00:15:15,048 --> 00:15:16,580
Come, Londo.
365
00:15:16,582 --> 00:15:19,283
Destiny awaits.
366
00:15:23,389 --> 00:15:25,723
Sheridan: Beginning
atmospheric insertion.
367
00:15:25,725 --> 00:15:27,692
Confirmed, shuttle one.
You're cleared for de-orbit.
368
00:15:27,694 --> 00:15:29,226
Thanks, c&c.
369
00:15:29,228 --> 00:15:31,195
Be back in a few hours.
370
00:15:33,032 --> 00:15:35,365
[Indistinct chatter]
371
00:15:47,046 --> 00:15:48,545
You're gonna
come back here,
372
00:15:48,547 --> 00:15:50,881
and we'll go over
the tests with you.
373
00:15:50,883 --> 00:15:53,084
You wanted
to see me, doctor?
374
00:15:53,086 --> 00:15:55,086
Yes. Excuse me.
375
00:15:57,256 --> 00:15:58,422
Thank you.
376
00:15:59,992 --> 00:16:01,726
We had another
group of refugees
377
00:16:01,728 --> 00:16:03,393
come in from
the front lines
378
00:16:03,395 --> 00:16:04,394
this morning...
379
00:16:04,396 --> 00:16:05,930
From your colony
on dross.
380
00:16:05,932 --> 00:16:07,264
Agricultural
specialists,
381
00:16:07,266 --> 00:16:09,266
civilians,
a few soldiers,
382
00:16:09,268 --> 00:16:10,601
the usual mix.
383
00:16:10,603 --> 00:16:12,903
Are they all right?
384
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,907
Mostly.
There's something
385
00:16:16,909 --> 00:16:20,077
that I thought
you should know.
386
00:16:20,079 --> 00:16:21,912
One of the refugees
said
387
00:16:21,914 --> 00:16:23,914
that he was captured
and interrogated
388
00:16:23,916 --> 00:16:25,582
by the Centauri,
and they kept asking
389
00:16:25,584 --> 00:16:27,618
the same questions
over and over again.
390
00:16:27,620 --> 00:16:28,919
Seems that
they wanted to know
391
00:16:28,921 --> 00:16:30,087
as much as possible
about
392
00:16:30,089 --> 00:16:31,555
your homeworld's
defense system.
393
00:16:31,557 --> 00:16:34,091
I'm not surprised.
Eventually, they will
394
00:16:34,093 --> 00:16:37,527
have to turn their eye
toward Narn itself.
395
00:16:37,529 --> 00:16:39,096
That's just it.
He said
396
00:16:39,098 --> 00:16:42,633
their questions seemed
unusually urgent.
397
00:16:42,635 --> 00:16:44,101
And one more thing--
the only reason
398
00:16:44,103 --> 00:16:46,370
that this batch of
refugees got out
399
00:16:46,372 --> 00:16:48,038
is because the
Centauri warships
400
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,706
pulled out
before they finished
401
00:16:49,708 --> 00:16:51,142
securing the planet.
402
00:16:51,144 --> 00:16:52,609
Centauri don't
work that way.
403
00:16:52,611 --> 00:16:53,710
They're very thorough.
404
00:16:53,712 --> 00:16:54,912
I know.
405
00:16:56,015 --> 00:16:58,548
In the final days
of our last war,
406
00:16:58,550 --> 00:17:01,551
the Minbari bypassed
several of our colonies.
407
00:17:01,553 --> 00:17:03,553
They went right past
our colonies
408
00:17:03,555 --> 00:17:05,222
on Mars and io
because
409
00:17:05,224 --> 00:17:08,292
they were ready
to hit Earth itself.
410
00:17:09,728 --> 00:17:12,729
I would like to speak
with this Narn.
411
00:17:12,731 --> 00:17:14,899
I'm afraid
that's not possible.
412
00:17:18,304 --> 00:17:20,137
I don't want
to panic anyone,
413
00:17:20,139 --> 00:17:21,138
Ambassador,
414
00:17:21,140 --> 00:17:22,973
but I thought
you should know.
415
00:17:22,975 --> 00:17:24,741
Yes.
416
00:17:24,743 --> 00:17:26,476
Thank you, doctor.
417
00:17:44,496 --> 00:17:47,097
You sure you know
where you're going?
418
00:17:47,099 --> 00:17:48,265
Of course.
419
00:17:48,267 --> 00:17:50,267
I have
an excellent memory.
420
00:17:50,269 --> 00:17:51,601
Positive?
421
00:17:51,603 --> 00:17:54,604
Abso-fragging-lutely,
damn it.
422
00:17:54,606 --> 00:17:56,106
Since
our last discussion,
423
00:17:56,108 --> 00:17:58,608
I've been studying
your use of language.
424
00:17:58,610 --> 00:18:00,110
Do you approve?
425
00:18:00,112 --> 00:18:03,113
Uh, well, we'll talk
about that later.
426
00:18:03,115 --> 00:18:05,449
Uh, left or right?
427
00:18:05,451 --> 00:18:06,951
Left...
428
00:18:06,953 --> 00:18:08,352
I believe.
429
00:18:17,296 --> 00:18:18,795
Good Lord.
430
00:18:20,299 --> 00:18:22,299
I may not go home.
431
00:18:29,441 --> 00:18:31,909
G'Kar, this is hardly
enough information.
432
00:18:31,911 --> 00:18:34,578
You know the Centauri!
You know how they operate!
433
00:18:34,580 --> 00:18:36,046
Attack, neutralize,
secure,
434
00:18:36,048 --> 00:18:38,249
and then move on
to the next target.
435
00:18:38,251 --> 00:18:40,050
Why would they
withdraw from dross
436
00:18:40,052 --> 00:18:41,618
before finishing the job?
437
00:18:41,620 --> 00:18:42,920
I don't know.
Perhaps
438
00:18:42,922 --> 00:18:44,989
they encountered
heavy resistance.
439
00:18:44,991 --> 00:18:47,424
Well, they might regroup,
but they wouldn't leave.
440
00:18:47,426 --> 00:18:48,926
G'sten, listen to me.
441
00:18:48,928 --> 00:18:50,394
If there's even a chance
442
00:18:50,396 --> 00:18:51,695
they mean
to attack homeworld--
443
00:18:51,697 --> 00:18:54,464
the mission is too far along
to stop it without proof.
444
00:18:54,466 --> 00:18:55,766
Well, with
a little more time--
445
00:18:55,768 --> 00:18:56,800
there's no time.
446
00:18:56,802 --> 00:18:57,902
We're
about to launch.
447
00:18:57,904 --> 00:18:58,936
G'sten!
448
00:18:58,938 --> 00:19:00,170
I'm sorry, G'Kar.
449
00:19:00,172 --> 00:19:01,505
I have to go.
450
00:19:01,507 --> 00:19:03,240
I'll finish
this conversation
451
00:19:03,242 --> 00:19:04,674
when I return.
452
00:19:14,653 --> 00:19:17,721
Draal?
We're here.
453
00:19:17,723 --> 00:19:22,359
Did you think I hadn't
noticed, my old friend?
454
00:19:25,965 --> 00:19:28,632
You've changed.
455
00:19:28,634 --> 00:19:31,302
I like it.
456
00:19:31,304 --> 00:19:32,803
Captain,
457
00:19:32,805 --> 00:19:35,639
I have watched you
since your arrival.
458
00:19:35,641 --> 00:19:38,642
At first I wasn't
sure about you...
459
00:19:38,644 --> 00:19:41,145
But your decisions
have been wise.
460
00:19:41,147 --> 00:19:43,147
Your attitudes
commendable,
461
00:19:43,149 --> 00:19:44,614
and your Patience,
462
00:19:44,616 --> 00:19:46,483
vaster than mine
would have been
463
00:19:46,485 --> 00:19:48,585
under similar
circumstances.
464
00:19:48,587 --> 00:19:49,820
Thank you.
465
00:19:49,822 --> 00:19:50,921
I'm not finished yet.
466
00:19:50,923 --> 00:19:53,357
Uh, sorry.
467
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,660
Since taking up residence
in the heart of this machine,
468
00:19:56,662 --> 00:19:58,829
I have explored
its secrets,
469
00:19:58,831 --> 00:19:59,964
learned and discovered
470
00:19:59,966 --> 00:20:04,001
that I can look
into distant worlds,
471
00:20:04,003 --> 00:20:05,469
see and hear things
472
00:20:05,471 --> 00:20:08,339
you cannot begin
to imagine.
473
00:20:08,341 --> 00:20:10,507
Along the way,
474
00:20:10,509 --> 00:20:14,311
I've learned some things
about you, Captain.
475
00:20:15,814 --> 00:20:18,648
The loss of your wife...
476
00:20:20,353 --> 00:20:22,353
I know Delenn
has told you
477
00:20:22,355 --> 00:20:24,521
about
the coming darkness,
478
00:20:24,523 --> 00:20:28,692
and lately I've learned
about your role
479
00:20:28,694 --> 00:20:32,696
in, shall we say,
a conspiracy of light
480
00:20:32,698 --> 00:20:35,032
aimed at your
own government.
481
00:20:35,034 --> 00:20:37,701
I don't know what
you're talking about.
482
00:20:37,703 --> 00:20:39,303
Yes, you do.
483
00:20:39,305 --> 00:20:41,038
Please, Captain,
don't worry.
484
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,540
Your secret
is safe with me.
485
00:20:43,542 --> 00:20:46,210
They would have to
dig down 3 miles
486
00:20:46,212 --> 00:20:48,045
into the surface
of this planet
487
00:20:48,047 --> 00:20:49,880
to learn what I know,
488
00:20:49,882 --> 00:20:51,181
and no one who tried
489
00:20:51,183 --> 00:20:53,517
would survive
the attempt.
490
00:20:55,821 --> 00:20:58,755
And now I have
seen enough.
491
00:20:58,757 --> 00:21:00,190
I said a year ago
492
00:21:00,192 --> 00:21:02,359
that this place was
to be left alone
493
00:21:02,361 --> 00:21:04,328
until the time
was right.
494
00:21:04,330 --> 00:21:07,731
That time has arrived.
495
00:21:07,733 --> 00:21:09,066
Now that I know
496
00:21:09,068 --> 00:21:11,235
the full capabilities
of this place,
497
00:21:11,237 --> 00:21:13,203
I am prepared
to place them
498
00:21:13,205 --> 00:21:15,239
at your disposal.
499
00:21:15,241 --> 00:21:17,041
Are you proposing
an alliance?
500
00:21:17,043 --> 00:21:18,708
One of the first.
501
00:21:18,710 --> 00:21:21,412
There will be
more to come.
502
00:21:22,714 --> 00:21:26,383
This has been a hard
and trying year for you,
503
00:21:26,385 --> 00:21:27,551
Captain Sheridan.
504
00:21:27,553 --> 00:21:30,220
It might be helpful
for you to know
505
00:21:30,222 --> 00:21:31,955
that you are not alone,
506
00:21:31,957 --> 00:21:35,092
and that in the long
twilight struggle
507
00:21:35,094 --> 00:21:37,761
which lies ahead of us,
508
00:21:37,763 --> 00:21:40,264
there is the possibility
509
00:21:40,266 --> 00:21:42,332
of hope.
510
00:22:20,939 --> 00:22:23,373
Warleader G'sten
to fleet ships...
511
00:22:23,375 --> 00:22:24,941
Stand by to attack.
512
00:22:24,943 --> 00:22:26,042
Status?
513
00:22:26,044 --> 00:22:27,711
No enemy ships detected.
514
00:22:27,713 --> 00:22:28,845
We're--just a minute.
515
00:22:28,847 --> 00:22:30,314
I'm picking up
a disturbance.
516
00:22:34,153 --> 00:22:36,653
Picking up 4,
possibly 5 ships--
517
00:22:36,655 --> 00:22:38,655
unknown configuration--
518
00:22:38,657 --> 00:22:40,324
moving toward us
on attack vector.
519
00:22:40,326 --> 00:22:41,691
Can we initiate jump?
520
00:22:41,693 --> 00:22:44,194
Not until the jump engines
can recharge.
521
00:22:44,196 --> 00:22:46,163
Then we have no choice.
Alert all ships.
522
00:22:46,165 --> 00:22:47,831
Prepare to attack.
523
00:22:56,208 --> 00:22:58,041
Fire energy mines.
524
00:23:27,773 --> 00:23:29,606
[Praying]
525
00:23:43,422 --> 00:23:46,523
[Whispering prayer]
526
00:24:10,315 --> 00:24:11,782
[Explosion]
527
00:24:11,784 --> 00:24:12,949
A direct hit.
528
00:24:12,951 --> 00:24:14,685
Damage to all sectors.
529
00:24:14,687 --> 00:24:17,187
How much longer
until we can jump?
530
00:24:17,189 --> 00:24:18,589
Jump engines on-line.
531
00:24:18,591 --> 00:24:21,057
Get us out of here.
Alert the fleet.
532
00:24:21,059 --> 00:24:22,426
We must escape
while we can.
533
00:24:22,428 --> 00:24:24,027
Initiating jump point.
534
00:24:41,113 --> 00:24:43,414
Jump point's
falling apart.
535
00:24:43,416 --> 00:24:44,748
Energy field's
collapsing.
536
00:24:44,750 --> 00:24:45,749
Pull back.
537
00:24:45,751 --> 00:24:46,983
Pull back!
538
00:24:46,985 --> 00:24:48,151
It's too late!
539
00:25:43,642 --> 00:25:44,942
Needless to say,
540
00:25:44,944 --> 00:25:46,944
I think
it would be unwise
541
00:25:46,946 --> 00:25:48,445
to inform
your government
542
00:25:48,447 --> 00:25:49,947
of our alliance.
543
00:25:49,949 --> 00:25:51,949
I'm inclined to agree.
544
00:25:51,951 --> 00:25:54,651
Is it difficult
to be alone here, Draal?
545
00:25:54,653 --> 00:25:56,319
I'm never alone.
546
00:25:56,321 --> 00:25:59,155
My thoughts are always
among the stars,
547
00:25:59,157 --> 00:26:00,824
and I've learned
that there are
548
00:26:00,826 --> 00:26:02,493
a few others
living here
549
00:26:02,495 --> 00:26:04,495
who maintain
the great machine.
550
00:26:04,497 --> 00:26:05,996
I speak with them
from time to time.
551
00:26:05,998 --> 00:26:08,999
They're quite...
Interesting.
552
00:26:09,001 --> 00:26:13,003
There is one in
particular who--oh.
553
00:26:13,005 --> 00:26:16,172
Draal,
are you all right?
554
00:26:16,174 --> 00:26:18,809
I am picking up
distress calls.
555
00:26:18,811 --> 00:26:20,577
I'm...
556
00:26:20,579 --> 00:26:21,678
In valen's name.
557
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:22,679
What is it?
558
00:26:22,681 --> 00:26:23,981
Captain, you must
return at once.
559
00:26:23,983 --> 00:26:25,516
They will need you.
It's time
560
00:26:25,518 --> 00:26:27,417
you introduced him
to the others.
561
00:26:27,419 --> 00:26:29,352
Please, Captain,
go now, quickly.
562
00:26:29,354 --> 00:26:30,954
I will be here
if you need me.
563
00:26:30,956 --> 00:26:32,222
I need a moment.
564
00:26:32,224 --> 00:26:33,289
All right.
565
00:26:33,291 --> 00:26:35,859
Now that you have
come out of hiding,
566
00:26:35,861 --> 00:26:38,294
I hope to see you
more often, old friend.
567
00:26:38,296 --> 00:26:40,096
That much seems certain.
568
00:26:40,098 --> 00:26:43,299
Valen go with you,
Delenn.
569
00:26:43,301 --> 00:26:46,670
And with you, my friend.
570
00:27:00,052 --> 00:27:02,553
So much to do,
so little time.
571
00:27:02,555 --> 00:27:04,220
We must get to work.
572
00:27:04,222 --> 00:27:05,556
Zathras!
573
00:27:05,558 --> 00:27:07,558
Zathras!
574
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,560
Grr.
575
00:27:09,562 --> 00:27:13,129
Never around
when he's needed.
576
00:27:16,035 --> 00:27:18,635
Garibaldi,
we got trouble.
577
00:27:18,637 --> 00:27:19,736
So what else is new?
578
00:27:19,738 --> 00:27:21,071
I mean major.
We just got word
579
00:27:21,073 --> 00:27:22,739
the Centauri have begun
an all-out offensive
580
00:27:22,741 --> 00:27:23,974
against
the Narn homeworld.
581
00:27:23,976 --> 00:27:25,241
Started about
an hour ago.
582
00:27:25,243 --> 00:27:26,743
Oh, no.
583
00:27:26,745 --> 00:27:29,312
Is there any word
on how it's going?
584
00:27:29,314 --> 00:27:31,247
Not yet.
We got an early relay
585
00:27:31,249 --> 00:27:32,583
from an Earth
listening post.
586
00:27:32,585 --> 00:27:33,584
The word's going to be
hitting the station
587
00:27:33,586 --> 00:27:34,751
anytime now.
When that happens,
588
00:27:34,753 --> 00:27:36,453
it's gonna be riots and
blood in the streets.
589
00:27:36,455 --> 00:27:37,554
All right.
I'll need authorization
590
00:27:37,556 --> 00:27:38,555
to lock down the station.
591
00:27:38,557 --> 00:27:39,823
You got it.
592
00:27:39,825 --> 00:27:41,257
I'll have my people close
off traffic between levels,
593
00:27:41,259 --> 00:27:42,392
break up any group
larger than 5.
594
00:27:42,394 --> 00:27:43,927
Recommend you post
a general alert
595
00:27:43,929 --> 00:27:45,428
telling anybody
without urgent business
596
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:47,564
to stay inside their quarters
until this thing is over.
597
00:27:47,566 --> 00:27:48,765
It's already recorded.
It'll go out
598
00:27:48,767 --> 00:27:50,667
on the station monitors
as soon as the word hits.
599
00:27:50,669 --> 00:27:53,236
This is it, Michael.
The balloon's going up.
600
00:27:53,238 --> 00:27:54,605
We interrupt this program
601
00:27:54,607 --> 00:27:56,439
with this
late-breaking story--
602
00:27:56,441 --> 00:27:58,508
officials in Earthdome
confirm
603
00:27:58,510 --> 00:27:59,776
that
the Centauri Republic
604
00:27:59,778 --> 00:28:02,278
has begun a devastating
frontal assault
605
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,280
on the Narn homeworld.
606
00:28:04,282 --> 00:28:05,849
Reports continue
to come in alleging
607
00:28:05,851 --> 00:28:07,951
that the main Narn fleet
has been neutralized
608
00:28:07,953 --> 00:28:11,287
and that Narn is completely
encircled by its enemies.
609
00:28:11,289 --> 00:28:12,789
Neither government
has yet confirmed
610
00:28:12,791 --> 00:28:14,625
nor denied these reports,
611
00:28:14,627 --> 00:28:16,693
though some messages
relayed from Narn
612
00:28:16,695 --> 00:28:18,461
seem to corroborate
the stories
613
00:28:18,463 --> 00:28:20,296
of massive destruction
and death.
614
00:28:20,298 --> 00:28:22,398
For the latest developments
on this story...
615
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,167
Murderers!
616
00:28:42,487 --> 00:28:43,987
[Siren]
617
00:28:45,057 --> 00:28:46,456
What's
the situation?
618
00:28:46,458 --> 00:28:47,658
We've got mass riots
all over the place.
619
00:28:47,660 --> 00:28:48,992
Garibaldi's men
are doing what they can.
620
00:28:48,994 --> 00:28:50,727
We've closed off
all sections.
621
00:28:50,729 --> 00:28:51,995
Good. Escort Ambassador
Delenn to her quarters.
622
00:28:51,997 --> 00:28:53,163
See to it
she arrives safely.
623
00:28:53,165 --> 00:28:54,164
Captain--
624
00:28:54,166 --> 00:28:55,766
it's all right.
Now go on.
625
00:28:57,369 --> 00:28:58,669
Any word
about the attack?
626
00:28:58,671 --> 00:28:59,836
Just rumors.
627
00:28:59,838 --> 00:29:01,337
They say the Centauri
are using mass drivers.
628
00:29:01,339 --> 00:29:03,674
I can't believe they'd resort
to planetary bombardment.
629
00:29:03,676 --> 00:29:05,942
Right now, I'd believe
just about anything.
630
00:30:05,738 --> 00:30:07,738
TV reporter:
With the planetary bombardment
631
00:30:07,740 --> 00:30:10,073
in its fourth day,
the Narn government
632
00:30:10,075 --> 00:30:12,743
continues in its refusal
to surrender.
633
00:30:12,745 --> 00:30:15,411
Minbari, Vorlon, Earth,
and other governments
634
00:30:15,413 --> 00:30:17,513
have filed
official protests
635
00:30:17,515 --> 00:30:18,915
with
the Centauri Republic
636
00:30:18,917 --> 00:30:20,483
for their use
of mass drivers
637
00:30:20,485 --> 00:30:22,085
against
the civilian population,
638
00:30:22,087 --> 00:30:25,055
but so far, the protests
have had no effect.
639
00:30:25,057 --> 00:30:27,257
Although communication
with the Narn homeworld
640
00:30:27,259 --> 00:30:29,092
is difficult, at best,
641
00:30:29,094 --> 00:30:31,094
due
to the continued attacks,
642
00:30:31,096 --> 00:30:32,595
word has reached I.S.N.
643
00:30:32,597 --> 00:30:34,097
Of cities
utterly destroyed,
644
00:30:34,099 --> 00:30:36,266
hundreds of thousands
of casualties,
645
00:30:36,268 --> 00:30:38,935
the total elimination
of power and water
646
00:30:38,937 --> 00:30:41,437
over most of the Narn
planetary surface.
647
00:30:41,439 --> 00:30:43,774
Most of their major cities
have fallen,
648
00:30:43,776 --> 00:30:45,441
food shipments
have stopped,
649
00:30:45,443 --> 00:30:47,710
the planetary economy
has collapsed,
650
00:30:47,712 --> 00:30:50,113
and medical treatment
is virtually nonexistent.
651
00:30:50,115 --> 00:30:51,815
Government analysts predict
that unless
652
00:30:51,817 --> 00:30:54,450
the Narn government
surrenders soon,
653
00:30:54,452 --> 00:30:57,287
their entire infrastructure
will be totally destroyed.
654
00:30:57,289 --> 00:30:58,789
Quote
senator Ronald quantrell,
655
00:30:58,791 --> 00:31:02,225
"they're being bombed
back into the stone age."
656
00:31:02,227 --> 00:31:03,226
Off.
657
00:31:04,897 --> 00:31:06,797
Then there's
no other way?
658
00:31:06,799 --> 00:31:08,398
If the bombardment
continues,
659
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,400
in a few more days,
we won't be unable
660
00:31:10,402 --> 00:31:11,902
to keep them out anyway,
661
00:31:11,904 --> 00:31:14,404
and hundreds of thousands
more will die.
662
00:31:14,406 --> 00:31:16,539
We have no choice
but to surrender.
663
00:31:16,541 --> 00:31:18,108
What about
our people here?
664
00:31:18,110 --> 00:31:19,309
I don't know.
665
00:31:19,311 --> 00:31:22,913
It will depend on the terms
of the surrender.
666
00:31:22,915 --> 00:31:25,916
With luck, the Centauri
will be feeling generous.
667
00:31:25,918 --> 00:31:27,483
If not...
668
00:31:27,485 --> 00:31:28,484
Either way,
669
00:31:28,486 --> 00:31:30,153
I'll return home
on the next shuttle.
670
00:31:30,155 --> 00:31:31,421
I should be there.
671
00:31:31,423 --> 00:31:34,024
No. If you come back here,
you will only be killed.
672
00:31:34,026 --> 00:31:35,992
You are the only one
of the kha'ri
673
00:31:35,994 --> 00:31:37,093
who is still safe.
674
00:31:37,095 --> 00:31:38,995
I should be
with my family.
675
00:31:38,997 --> 00:31:40,763
I understand
how you feel,
676
00:31:40,765 --> 00:31:42,899
but if you want
to save them,
677
00:31:42,901 --> 00:31:45,668
you have to listen to me.
I have to go soon.
678
00:31:45,670 --> 00:31:47,838
I don't know how much longer
we can keep this channel open.
679
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,339
The power keeps going out.
680
00:31:49,341 --> 00:31:50,841
Before that happens,
681
00:31:50,843 --> 00:31:53,810
I have a message for you
from the kha'ri.
682
00:31:53,812 --> 00:31:55,812
It is probably
the last message
683
00:31:55,814 --> 00:31:57,680
they will ever send
684
00:31:57,682 --> 00:32:02,319
and the hardest thing
I have ever asked you to do.
685
00:32:13,531 --> 00:32:14,865
Ambassador?
686
00:32:25,878 --> 00:32:28,711
Captain Sheridan, I...
687
00:32:28,713 --> 00:32:31,481
I've been instructed
by my government
688
00:32:31,483 --> 00:32:32,983
to come to you
689
00:32:32,985 --> 00:32:34,550
and ask for...
690
00:32:37,722 --> 00:32:39,555
Sanctuary.
691
00:32:50,235 --> 00:32:51,567
Mr. Garibaldi.
692
00:32:51,569 --> 00:32:53,569
I've arranged for
around-the-clock security
693
00:32:53,571 --> 00:32:55,238
until this is over.
694
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:56,539
Thank you.
695
00:32:56,541 --> 00:32:58,508
Could you tell
Captain Sheridan
696
00:32:58,510 --> 00:33:00,410
that I wish
to convene a meeting
697
00:33:00,412 --> 00:33:02,412
of the Babylon 5
advisory council
698
00:33:02,414 --> 00:33:04,414
and the league
of nonaligned worlds
699
00:33:04,416 --> 00:33:06,917
as quickly
as possible?
700
00:33:06,919 --> 00:33:09,986
I have an announcement
to make.
701
00:33:09,988 --> 00:33:11,788
Fine.
702
00:33:13,292 --> 00:33:14,291
Fine.
703
00:33:19,597 --> 00:33:22,865
A little over
5 standard hours ago,
704
00:33:22,867 --> 00:33:25,668
the conflict,
which began
705
00:33:25,670 --> 00:33:28,405
with the Narn declaration
of war,
706
00:33:28,407 --> 00:33:30,106
came to an end.
707
00:33:30,108 --> 00:33:33,944
The Narn regime
has offered complete
708
00:33:33,946 --> 00:33:35,845
and unconditional
surrender.
709
00:33:37,282 --> 00:33:39,449
[Murmuring]
710
00:33:39,451 --> 00:33:44,454
The terms imposed
by the Centauri Republic
711
00:33:44,456 --> 00:33:46,556
are as follows...
712
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:52,295
1--the ruling body
known as the kha'ri
713
00:33:52,297 --> 00:33:54,630
will be disbanded
714
00:33:54,632 --> 00:33:58,335
and its members subject
to arrest and trial
715
00:33:58,337 --> 00:33:59,970
for the commission
of war crimes
716
00:33:59,972 --> 00:34:01,537
against the Centauri.
717
00:34:01,539 --> 00:34:02,805
Earth requests the right
718
00:34:02,807 --> 00:34:04,707
to send observers
to these hearings.
719
00:34:04,709 --> 00:34:06,443
That request is denied.
720
00:34:07,980 --> 00:34:09,112
2--
721
00:34:09,114 --> 00:34:12,815
to prevent further acts
of terror
722
00:34:12,817 --> 00:34:15,318
by the Narn
against our people,
723
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,053
from this day on,
724
00:34:17,055 --> 00:34:19,089
the penalty
for the murder
725
00:34:19,091 --> 00:34:22,125
of any Centauri
by any Narn
726
00:34:22,127 --> 00:34:25,462
will by the execution
of 500 Narns,
727
00:34:25,464 --> 00:34:29,466
including
the perpetrator's own family.
728
00:34:29,468 --> 00:34:33,503
3--a provisional
ruling council
729
00:34:33,505 --> 00:34:35,405
appointed
by my government
730
00:34:35,407 --> 00:34:38,008
will take up
the responsibility
731
00:34:38,010 --> 00:34:40,276
of rebuilding
a more civilized
732
00:34:40,278 --> 00:34:43,013
Narn government
as a colony
733
00:34:43,015 --> 00:34:45,148
of the greater
Centauri Republic.
734
00:34:46,851 --> 00:34:47,984
[Coughs]
735
00:34:47,986 --> 00:34:50,153
Is there
anything else?
736
00:34:54,026 --> 00:34:56,026
Yes.
737
00:34:56,028 --> 00:34:59,295
Just one thing.
738
00:35:00,532 --> 00:35:03,233
Because
the Narn homeworld
739
00:35:03,235 --> 00:35:04,734
is now a protectorate
740
00:35:04,736 --> 00:35:06,469
of the Centauri Republic,
741
00:35:06,471 --> 00:35:08,004
we reserve the right
742
00:35:08,006 --> 00:35:11,207
to determine who
can speak for Narn.
743
00:35:11,209 --> 00:35:13,809
As a result,
Ambassador G'Kar
744
00:35:13,811 --> 00:35:16,346
may no longer
represent the Narn
745
00:35:16,348 --> 00:35:19,182
in any official
capacity whatsoever.
746
00:35:19,184 --> 00:35:22,152
His appointment as
Ambassador to Babylon 5
747
00:35:22,154 --> 00:35:24,487
is hereby withdrawn,
748
00:35:24,489 --> 00:35:26,456
and as the only member
749
00:35:26,458 --> 00:35:28,224
of the kha'ri
still at large,
750
00:35:28,226 --> 00:35:29,959
citizen G'Kar
751
00:35:29,961 --> 00:35:33,329
will return to Narn
for trial.
752
00:35:33,331 --> 00:35:36,666
I'm afraid
that's not possible.
753
00:35:36,668 --> 00:35:39,135
Prior to this meeting,
Ambassador G'Kar
754
00:35:39,137 --> 00:35:41,304
asked for sanctuary
on Babylon 5.
755
00:35:42,907 --> 00:35:44,441
As it is
within my province
756
00:35:44,443 --> 00:35:46,709
to make such decisions,
I agreed.
757
00:35:46,711 --> 00:35:49,745
Surrender by all
members of the kha'ri
758
00:35:49,747 --> 00:35:50,913
is stipulated in
759
00:35:50,915 --> 00:35:52,415
the Narn-Centauri
agreement.
760
00:35:52,417 --> 00:35:53,749
Oh, I'm sure it is,
761
00:35:53,751 --> 00:35:56,219
but I didn't sign
that agreement, Ambassador.
762
00:35:56,221 --> 00:35:57,687
Neither did Earth.
763
00:35:57,689 --> 00:36:00,223
As cosponsor
of Babylon 5,
764
00:36:00,225 --> 00:36:02,725
the Minbari government
supports this decision.
765
00:36:02,727 --> 00:36:04,927
The neutrality
of this station
766
00:36:04,929 --> 00:36:08,064
applies even to the wishes
of the Centauri.
767
00:36:08,066 --> 00:36:10,100
Citizen G'Kar
may remain here
768
00:36:10,102 --> 00:36:12,235
for as long
as he chooses.
769
00:36:12,237 --> 00:36:14,036
Face reality,
Ambassador Mollari.
770
00:36:14,038 --> 00:36:16,038
If your government
is serious
771
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:17,540
about all these rules,
772
00:36:17,542 --> 00:36:19,542
you're going
to need someone here
773
00:36:19,544 --> 00:36:22,545
whom all the other Narn
will recognize as credible.
774
00:36:22,547 --> 00:36:25,681
If this is
your decision,
775
00:36:25,683 --> 00:36:27,617
then I cannot
stop you.
776
00:36:27,619 --> 00:36:30,686
Nevertheless,
at this moment,
777
00:36:30,688 --> 00:36:32,255
G'Kar is no longer
778
00:36:32,257 --> 00:36:34,457
an official
representative of Narn
779
00:36:34,459 --> 00:36:37,227
and must be removed
from this council.
780
00:36:37,229 --> 00:36:39,262
We will wait--
now!
781
00:37:13,965 --> 00:37:16,566
No dictator...
782
00:37:16,568 --> 00:37:18,701
No invader...
783
00:37:18,703 --> 00:37:20,703
Can hold
an imprisoned population
784
00:37:20,705 --> 00:37:22,672
by force of arms forever.
785
00:37:22,674 --> 00:37:27,843
There is no greater power
in the universe
786
00:37:27,845 --> 00:37:29,845
than the need for freedom.
787
00:37:31,516 --> 00:37:33,183
Against that power,
788
00:37:33,185 --> 00:37:37,353
government and tyrants
and armies cannot stand.
789
00:37:40,525 --> 00:37:44,527
The Centauri
learned this lesson once.
790
00:37:47,031 --> 00:37:50,132
We will teach it
to them again.
791
00:37:52,604 --> 00:37:55,638
Though it take
a thousand years...
792
00:37:57,342 --> 00:37:59,542
We will be free.
793
00:38:20,565 --> 00:38:22,232
TV reporter:
And dancing in the streets,
794
00:38:22,234 --> 00:38:23,899
as Centauri Emperor
Cartagia
795
00:38:23,901 --> 00:38:26,236
declared a week-long
public celebration
796
00:38:26,238 --> 00:38:27,570
to commemorate
the recapture
797
00:38:27,572 --> 00:38:29,239
of the Narn homeworld.
798
00:38:29,241 --> 00:38:31,907
In related news,
the Centauri Republic today
799
00:38:31,909 --> 00:38:34,577
announced plans to annex
several smaller worlds
800
00:38:34,579 --> 00:38:36,246
adjacent to Narn space,
801
00:38:36,248 --> 00:38:38,914
declaring them
protectorates of the Republic.
802
00:38:38,916 --> 00:38:40,750
While government spokesmen
insist
803
00:38:40,752 --> 00:38:43,586
that the Centauri do not
have any expansionist plans
804
00:38:43,588 --> 00:38:45,421
beyond retaking
the Narn homeworld,
805
00:38:45,423 --> 00:38:48,258
others in Earthdome
are less sure.
806
00:38:54,266 --> 00:38:58,434
G'Kar, I know we've had
our problems in the past...
807
00:39:01,273 --> 00:39:04,274
But I can't imagine going
into the council chambers
808
00:39:04,276 --> 00:39:05,808
and not seeing you there--
809
00:39:05,810 --> 00:39:07,677
straight, tall,
810
00:39:07,679 --> 00:39:10,713
ready to argue with anyone
about anything.
811
00:39:12,751 --> 00:39:15,418
I don't know. I...
812
00:39:15,420 --> 00:39:20,456
I don't think I want
to go the next 10 years
813
00:39:20,458 --> 00:39:22,458
without your insight...
814
00:39:24,262 --> 00:39:26,962
Or your words.
815
00:39:26,964 --> 00:39:29,432
For what it's worth...
816
00:39:31,469 --> 00:39:33,803
Every resource
that I have,
817
00:39:33,805 --> 00:39:36,339
every...contact...
818
00:39:37,642 --> 00:39:42,412
Any way that I can help you
win back your planet...
819
00:39:46,318 --> 00:39:47,650
It's yours.
820
00:39:51,623 --> 00:39:55,991
Last time I offered
someone my hand,
821
00:39:55,993 --> 00:39:59,495
we were at war
24 hours later.
822
00:40:18,583 --> 00:40:20,950
[Beep beep]
823
00:40:20,952 --> 00:40:22,184
Sheridan.
824
00:40:22,186 --> 00:40:23,185
Ivanova: Captain,
825
00:40:23,187 --> 00:40:24,687
Ambassador Delenn
has asked to see you.
826
00:40:24,689 --> 00:40:26,021
She's in
the conference center.
827
00:40:26,023 --> 00:40:27,523
Be right there.
828
00:40:43,842 --> 00:40:45,341
Is it
someone's birthday
829
00:40:45,343 --> 00:40:46,843
and I
wasn't informed?
830
00:40:48,212 --> 00:40:49,379
Most of these people
831
00:40:49,381 --> 00:40:52,214
have come to meet you
for the first time.
832
00:40:52,216 --> 00:40:55,050
Some of the others,
you already know.
833
00:40:55,052 --> 00:40:58,220
They have come to
pledge themselves to you.
834
00:40:59,391 --> 00:41:02,392
Well, i--i don't
understand.
835
00:41:02,394 --> 00:41:04,093
They call themselves
Rangers.
836
00:41:04,095 --> 00:41:05,728
They've been coming
through the station now
837
00:41:05,730 --> 00:41:06,896
for some time,
838
00:41:06,898 --> 00:41:08,865
carrying information
on the war, other things.
839
00:41:08,867 --> 00:41:11,066
They have sworn
their lives,
840
00:41:11,068 --> 00:41:13,068
their fortunes,
and their blood
841
00:41:13,070 --> 00:41:15,037
to help fight
the coming darkness.
842
00:41:15,039 --> 00:41:17,907
Have you known
about these Rangers
843
00:41:17,909 --> 00:41:18,941
all this time?
844
00:41:18,943 --> 00:41:20,075
Most of it,
845
00:41:20,077 --> 00:41:22,111
but I found out about it
about 8, 9 months ago.
846
00:41:22,113 --> 00:41:24,213
And you
didn't tell me. Why?
847
00:41:24,215 --> 00:41:26,282
Because I promised a friend.
848
00:41:26,284 --> 00:41:27,583
Captain...John,
849
00:41:27,585 --> 00:41:30,586
you see what is
happening all around us.
850
00:41:30,588 --> 00:41:32,988
The great war
is nearly upon us.
851
00:41:32,990 --> 00:41:36,426
Now that the Narn-Centauri
conflict is finished,
852
00:41:36,428 --> 00:41:38,294
the next wave
will come soon,
853
00:41:38,296 --> 00:41:40,095
even more deadly.
854
00:41:40,097 --> 00:41:43,332
There must be one
fortress of light
855
00:41:43,334 --> 00:41:45,334
to stand
against the darkness.
856
00:41:45,336 --> 00:41:47,336
That place
is this place.
857
00:41:47,338 --> 00:41:50,172
It must be protected
at any cost.
858
00:41:50,174 --> 00:41:53,943
Until now, the Rangers
assigned to this area
859
00:41:53,945 --> 00:41:57,513
have been under
my direct command.
860
00:41:57,515 --> 00:42:00,316
I now transfer
equal authority to you,
861
00:42:00,318 --> 00:42:02,251
and like them,
862
00:42:02,253 --> 00:42:05,621
I will stand by you
in the days ahead.
863
00:42:05,623 --> 00:42:08,858
Well, I don't quite
know what to say.
864
00:42:11,896 --> 00:42:14,296
For the last year,
865
00:42:14,298 --> 00:42:18,100
things haven't exactly
been going our way.
866
00:42:18,102 --> 00:42:22,104
I started to wonder
if it would ever get better.
867
00:42:23,641 --> 00:42:25,808
But I think it just did.
868
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:29,979
Tell the other Rangers...
869
00:42:29,981 --> 00:42:31,881
The Ambassadors...
870
00:42:31,883 --> 00:42:36,151
Everyone
in this army of light...
871
00:42:36,153 --> 00:42:38,821
That Babylon 5
stands with you.
872
00:42:38,823 --> 00:42:40,089
Tell them...
873
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,060
Tell them
that from this place,
874
00:42:45,062 --> 00:42:46,562
we will deliver notice
875
00:42:46,564 --> 00:42:48,564
to the parliaments
of conquerors
876
00:42:48,566 --> 00:42:50,833
that a line
has been drawn
877
00:42:50,835 --> 00:42:52,568
against the darkness,
878
00:42:52,570 --> 00:42:55,738
and we will hold that line...
879
00:42:57,609 --> 00:43:00,009
No matter the cost.
