00:00:03,471 --> 00:00:05,737
Sheridan:
Captain's personal log,
2
00:00:05,806 --> 00:00:08,640
September 2, 2261.
3
00:00:08,709 --> 00:00:10,809
Enough is enough.
4
00:00:12,146 --> 00:00:15,247
[Indistinct chatter]
5
00:00:35,669 --> 00:00:38,603
Londo, what do they want?
What's going on?
6
00:00:38,672 --> 00:00:40,506
I don't know.
7
00:01:01,328 --> 00:01:02,561
They're waiting.
8
00:01:10,037 --> 00:01:11,970
I'm sorry to call you together
at this early hour,
9
00:01:12,039 --> 00:01:14,940
but we don't
have a lot of time.
10
00:01:15,008 --> 00:01:15,974
[Sighs]
11
00:01:16,043 --> 00:01:17,142
Commander.
12
00:01:17,211 --> 00:01:18,977
For the last
month or so,
13
00:01:19,046 --> 00:01:20,645
ships from Babylon 5
have been patrolling
14
00:01:20,714 --> 00:01:22,114
the borders
of your governments.
15
00:01:22,183 --> 00:01:23,782
Since we've been
protecting you
16
00:01:23,850 --> 00:01:25,150
from raiders
and border skirmishes,
17
00:01:25,219 --> 00:01:28,454
the number of incidents
has decreased 70%.
18
00:01:28,522 --> 00:01:32,458
May we assume that you are
happy with this arrangement?
19
00:01:32,526 --> 00:01:35,827
Good. Because now
there is a price tag.
20
00:01:35,896 --> 00:01:37,829
By now, most
of you have heard
21
00:01:37,898 --> 00:01:39,498
of the attacks
against civilian targets
22
00:01:39,567 --> 00:01:40,732
by ships from Earth.
23
00:01:40,801 --> 00:01:43,969
In the latest attack
authorized by President Clark,
24
00:01:44,037 --> 00:01:47,672
10,000 civilians were killed
as an example to others.
25
00:01:47,741 --> 00:01:50,342
We can no longer
tolerate this behavior.
26
00:01:50,411 --> 00:01:53,812
Alpha squadron,
status report.
27
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,847
Man: Alpha squadron
ready for launch.
28
00:01:55,916 --> 00:01:57,048
Launch!
29
00:02:01,955 --> 00:02:03,555
Sheridan:
Most of your governments
30
00:02:03,624 --> 00:02:05,491
have mutual defense treaties
with Earth.
31
00:02:05,559 --> 00:02:06,825
As of right now,
32
00:02:06,893 --> 00:02:10,695
in exchange for our continued
patrol along your borders,
33
00:02:10,764 --> 00:02:12,864
I'm declaring those treaties
null and void.
34
00:02:12,933 --> 00:02:15,000
[Murmuring]
35
00:02:16,970 --> 00:02:19,704
I have no problem
with this.
36
00:02:19,773 --> 00:02:23,375
You have been here for us
from the beginning.
37
00:02:23,444 --> 00:02:25,144
During their war
with the Minbari,
38
00:02:25,212 --> 00:02:28,180
I supervised
arms sales to Earth.
39
00:02:28,249 --> 00:02:32,017
They promised to help us
when we needed them.
40
00:02:32,085 --> 00:02:33,051
But where was Earth
41
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,386
when our borders
were being attacked?
42
00:02:34,455 --> 00:02:36,054
Where was Earth
when the Shadows
43
00:02:36,123 --> 00:02:38,524
were rampaging
across our territories?
44
00:02:38,592 --> 00:02:41,527
They did nothing!
45
00:02:41,595 --> 00:02:43,695
We owe them
nothing in return.
46
00:02:43,764 --> 00:02:46,565
Thank you, G'Kar.
47
00:02:46,634 --> 00:02:50,035
It's not only our people
who are at risk here.
48
00:02:50,103 --> 00:02:52,037
Clark's propaganda machine
49
00:02:52,105 --> 00:02:54,039
is feeding
the anti-alien hysteria
50
00:02:54,107 --> 00:02:55,574
back home.
51
00:02:55,643 --> 00:02:57,576
In time,
all of you will be hurt
52
00:02:57,645 --> 00:02:59,077
if they're not stopped.
53
00:02:59,146 --> 00:03:01,046
Well, we intend
to stop them.
54
00:03:01,114 --> 00:03:03,782
Delta squadron,
launch!
55
00:03:10,424 --> 00:03:11,923
We ask that each of you
contribute
56
00:03:11,992 --> 00:03:13,258
at least one
destroyer-class ship
57
00:03:13,327 --> 00:03:15,561
to the defense
of Babylon 5.
58
00:03:15,629 --> 00:03:17,062
Your people here will
need to be protected
59
00:03:17,130 --> 00:03:19,064
in case Clark
tries to reTaliate.
60
00:03:19,132 --> 00:03:23,402
Beyond that,
don't get involved.
61
00:03:23,470 --> 00:03:25,103
Anyone gets
in between us and them
62
00:03:25,172 --> 00:03:26,738
won't live long enough
to regret it.
63
00:03:26,807 --> 00:03:28,273
You will not respond
64
00:03:28,342 --> 00:03:31,076
to any requests for
military assistance
65
00:03:31,144 --> 00:03:33,111
from President Clark
or the Earth Alliance,
66
00:03:33,180 --> 00:03:37,282
except in the form
of humanitarian aid.
67
00:03:37,351 --> 00:03:41,119
From now on,
Earth stands alone.
68
00:03:41,188 --> 00:03:43,955
We're taking back
Proxima 3,
69
00:03:44,024 --> 00:03:45,990
we're taking back Mars.
70
00:03:46,059 --> 00:03:47,959
Then...
71
00:03:48,028 --> 00:03:51,963
We're going to
take back our home...
72
00:03:52,032 --> 00:03:53,965
Or die trying.
73
00:04:00,307 --> 00:04:02,073
Lennier:
It was the year of fire.
74
00:04:02,142 --> 00:04:03,742
Zack: The year of destruction.
75
00:04:03,810 --> 00:04:07,145
G'Kar: The year we took back
what was ours.
76
00:04:07,214 --> 00:04:08,980
Lyta: It was the year
of rebirth.
77
00:04:09,049 --> 00:04:11,583
Vir Cotto:
The year of great sadness.
78
00:04:11,652 --> 00:04:12,851
Marcus: The year of pain...
79
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:14,219
Delenn: And the year
of joy.
80
00:04:14,288 --> 00:04:16,121
Londo: It was a new age.
81
00:04:16,189 --> 00:04:18,557
Dr. Franklin: It was
the end of history.
82
00:04:18,626 --> 00:04:21,159
Ivanova: It was the year
everything changed.
83
00:04:23,731 --> 00:04:26,331
Sheridan: The year is 2261.
84
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,133
The place...
85
00:05:31,498 --> 00:05:32,931
Out of the way!
Move!
86
00:05:32,999 --> 00:05:33,932
Get back!
Hey!
87
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,100
Everyone, step back!
Step back!
88
00:05:36,169 --> 00:05:37,436
Watch it!
89
00:05:40,006 --> 00:05:41,239
Whoa!
Hey!
90
00:05:46,513 --> 00:05:47,579
Where the hell is he?
91
00:05:47,648 --> 00:05:49,581
He said
he's on his way.
92
00:05:51,485 --> 00:05:53,418
I've got it!
93
00:05:53,487 --> 00:05:54,586
Sheridan: Let's see.
94
00:05:54,655 --> 00:05:55,754
It would have
got here faster
95
00:05:55,823 --> 00:05:57,255
if I could've
just sent it out.
96
00:05:57,324 --> 00:05:59,357
We couldn't risk
anyone intercepting it.
97
00:05:59,426 --> 00:06:00,425
Sheridan: Is it current?
98
00:06:00,494 --> 00:06:02,627
Marcus: As current
as we can make it.
99
00:06:02,696 --> 00:06:04,228
Here.
100
00:06:04,297 --> 00:06:07,966
Clark's stationed half a dozen
omega-class destroyers
101
00:06:08,034 --> 00:06:10,602
between Proxima 3
and the local jump gate.
102
00:06:10,671 --> 00:06:13,137
There is also a series
of planetary scanners
103
00:06:13,206 --> 00:06:15,607
that can detect any ship
trying to leave.
104
00:06:15,676 --> 00:06:16,775
It's good positioning.
105
00:06:16,844 --> 00:06:17,943
Anybody trying to
take off gets shot down
106
00:06:18,011 --> 00:06:19,611
before escaping
the blockade,
107
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,112
and no one comes
through the gate
108
00:06:21,181 --> 00:06:22,146
without being seen.
109
00:06:22,215 --> 00:06:24,315
The colony is very
close to surrendering.
110
00:06:24,384 --> 00:06:26,651
They're running out of
food, water, supplies.
111
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,119
They're down
to almost nothing.
112
00:06:28,188 --> 00:06:30,622
That's why they
keep trying to escape.
113
00:06:30,691 --> 00:06:34,125
Better to be shot down
than to starve to death.
114
00:06:34,194 --> 00:06:35,627
Do you have an I.D.
On those ships?
115
00:06:35,696 --> 00:06:36,761
Yes.
116
00:06:39,533 --> 00:06:42,000
The heracles under
Captain Trevor Hall,
117
00:06:42,068 --> 00:06:44,168
the juno under Captain
James Mandala,
118
00:06:44,237 --> 00:06:46,137
the pollux, Captain
Elizabeth Morganstern,
119
00:06:46,206 --> 00:06:49,073
the Nemesis, Captain
Yoshi Kawagawa,
120
00:06:49,142 --> 00:06:51,142
the Vesta, Captain
Edward MacDougan,
121
00:06:51,211 --> 00:06:54,679
and the furies, Captain
Stephanie Eckland.
122
00:06:54,748 --> 00:06:57,181
Which one of them destroyed
the civilian transports?
123
00:06:57,250 --> 00:06:59,017
The heracles
and the pollux.
124
00:06:59,085 --> 00:07:00,852
Do you know either of
the Captains involved?
125
00:07:00,921 --> 00:07:02,521
No. So they're new.
126
00:07:02,589 --> 00:07:05,356
Which probably means
they're loyal to Clark.
127
00:07:05,425 --> 00:07:07,025
Have any of them
deliberately avoided
128
00:07:07,093 --> 00:07:08,994
shooting at
civilian targets?
129
00:07:09,062 --> 00:07:09,995
I don't know.
130
00:07:10,063 --> 00:07:11,863
It'll take a little
while to find out.
131
00:07:11,932 --> 00:07:13,331
Well, get moving.
We need to know
132
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,500
how many destroyers are
committed to the blockade,
133
00:07:15,569 --> 00:07:18,202
and how many
are holding back.
134
00:07:18,271 --> 00:07:20,471
Stephen, how are you
doing with the telepaths
135
00:07:20,541 --> 00:07:22,841
we rescued
from the Shadows?
136
00:07:22,910 --> 00:07:25,343
Well, we wake them
for brief periods,
137
00:07:25,412 --> 00:07:26,678
but they're still
under the influence
138
00:07:26,747 --> 00:07:27,846
of the mind-control
devices.
139
00:07:27,915 --> 00:07:29,681
Haven't found a way
to remove them
140
00:07:29,750 --> 00:07:30,682
without causing damage.
141
00:07:30,751 --> 00:07:32,017
I need them mobile,
142
00:07:32,085 --> 00:07:34,352
as many as you can
and as fast as you can.
143
00:07:34,421 --> 00:07:36,487
Not for this operation,
but soon.
144
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:40,992
I'll do my best.
145
00:07:45,933 --> 00:07:48,199
They've got the place
buttoned up tight.
146
00:07:48,268 --> 00:07:49,367
We're going to
have a hell of a time
147
00:07:49,436 --> 00:07:50,702
fighting our way in there.
148
00:07:50,771 --> 00:07:52,537
Mm-hmm. We'll
hit them in waves,
149
00:07:52,606 --> 00:07:55,373
try to isolate the ships
we need to destroy
150
00:07:55,442 --> 00:07:56,875
from the ones
who won't fight
151
00:07:56,944 --> 00:07:57,909
unless they have to.
152
00:07:57,978 --> 00:07:59,544
Then we'll give them
a chance to surrender
153
00:07:59,613 --> 00:08:00,579
or join up.
154
00:08:00,647 --> 00:08:02,380
And if they don't?
155
00:08:02,449 --> 00:08:04,716
We take them out.
Hey,
156
00:08:04,785 --> 00:08:07,385
I don't like the idea
any more than you do.
157
00:08:07,454 --> 00:08:08,887
But either we commit
ourselves
158
00:08:08,956 --> 00:08:10,889
to this completely,
or we don't do it.
159
00:08:10,958 --> 00:08:12,423
Once we pull
the first trigger,
160
00:08:12,492 --> 00:08:14,392
we can't hesitate
to pull the next one,
161
00:08:14,461 --> 00:08:16,094
because they sure won't.
162
00:08:16,162 --> 00:08:18,429
No, once we're in,
we're in.
163
00:08:18,498 --> 00:08:20,565
No surrender...
164
00:08:20,634 --> 00:08:22,200
And no retreat.
165
00:08:33,346 --> 00:08:34,713
[Doorbell rings]
166
00:08:37,618 --> 00:08:40,585
Ohh! Ohh!
I didn't do it!
167
00:08:40,654 --> 00:08:42,587
I didn't do it!
168
00:08:42,656 --> 00:08:47,759
Oh! Thank the great maker.
It was just a dream.
169
00:08:50,998 --> 00:08:52,230
Ohh!
170
00:08:56,503 --> 00:08:57,736
Open!
171
00:09:00,173 --> 00:09:01,272
Hello, Vir.
172
00:09:01,341 --> 00:09:02,774
Mr. Garibaldi.
173
00:09:02,843 --> 00:09:04,109
Is, uh, Londo around?
174
00:09:04,177 --> 00:09:05,944
I've got some business
in Centauri space.
175
00:09:06,013 --> 00:09:07,445
I figured he could
help me cut through
176
00:09:07,514 --> 00:09:08,446
the red tape.
177
00:09:08,515 --> 00:09:09,447
He's not here.
178
00:09:09,516 --> 00:09:12,450
He had to go set up
a meeting with g'--
179
00:09:12,519 --> 00:09:14,252
he, uh, had a meeting.
180
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,621
Oh, I see.
181
00:09:16,690 --> 00:09:19,891
Well, it looks, uh, like
you had a late night.
182
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:20,892
No, not actually.
183
00:09:20,961 --> 00:09:22,961
They just, um,
got us up very early
184
00:09:23,030 --> 00:09:24,495
to brief us on
their new campaign.
185
00:09:24,564 --> 00:09:26,064
What new campaign?
186
00:09:26,133 --> 00:09:28,232
To take back Earth
and your outer colonies.
187
00:09:28,301 --> 00:09:30,168
Oh--oh,
i--i--I'm sorry.
188
00:09:30,236 --> 00:09:32,737
I--i thought you knew.
189
00:09:32,806 --> 00:09:33,972
No.
190
00:09:34,041 --> 00:09:35,006
No.
191
00:09:35,075 --> 00:09:37,142
Well, now that you do,
192
00:09:37,210 --> 00:09:39,678
i--i imagine you'll
want to sign on again.
193
00:09:39,746 --> 00:09:41,279
Not with Sheridan.
194
00:09:41,347 --> 00:09:43,314
Doesn't your homeworld
matter to you?
195
00:09:43,383 --> 00:09:44,983
Of course it matters.
196
00:09:45,052 --> 00:09:46,751
But I don't like
the way he's doing this.
197
00:09:46,820 --> 00:09:48,486
Well, that's
the way it is.
198
00:09:48,555 --> 00:09:50,822
I don't always like
the way Londo does things--
199
00:09:50,891 --> 00:09:53,324
well, me and
most civilized worlds--
200
00:09:53,393 --> 00:09:55,994
but, you know,
sometimes he's right.
201
00:09:56,063 --> 00:09:58,863
So I force myself to give
him the benefit of the doubt.
202
00:09:58,932 --> 00:10:01,632
I can't do that anymore.
203
00:10:01,702 --> 00:10:03,668
So you're not going
to fight for your world?
204
00:10:03,737 --> 00:10:04,936
Of course I'm
going to fight.
205
00:10:05,005 --> 00:10:06,504
I'm going to fight
in my own way.
206
00:10:06,573 --> 00:10:08,173
Just tell Londo
I came by,
207
00:10:08,241 --> 00:10:10,341
and I'll check in
with him later.
208
00:10:25,759 --> 00:10:27,125
How much longer
do you want them
209
00:10:27,194 --> 00:10:28,626
to continue running
the drills, Commander?
210
00:10:28,695 --> 00:10:29,694
Another hour.
211
00:10:29,763 --> 00:10:31,529
Then bring half of them
in for refueling.
212
00:10:31,598 --> 00:10:32,964
After that, we'll
alternate squadrons.
213
00:10:33,033 --> 00:10:34,199
I don't want
anyone outside
214
00:10:34,267 --> 00:10:35,867
with less than
half a tank of fuel.
215
00:10:35,936 --> 00:10:37,535
We'll rotate pilots
in for rest periods,
216
00:10:37,604 --> 00:10:38,536
but other than that,
217
00:10:38,605 --> 00:10:40,038
I want every ship
we have out there.
218
00:10:40,107 --> 00:10:41,305
Will they be going
on the missions?
219
00:10:41,374 --> 00:10:44,308
Some, yes. The rest
we'll keep for flyby.
220
00:10:44,377 --> 00:10:45,977
I don't intend to
get caught flatfooted
221
00:10:46,046 --> 00:10:47,979
in case Clark
comes after us.
222
00:10:48,048 --> 00:10:49,647
Ivanova to all
fighter squadrons.
223
00:10:49,716 --> 00:10:50,882
Adjust
friend-or-foe systems
224
00:10:50,951 --> 00:10:52,150
to new frequencies
every 24 hours.
225
00:10:52,219 --> 00:10:54,052
You'll check in
with Lieutenant Corwin
226
00:10:54,121 --> 00:10:55,820
or myself for the code
of the day.
227
00:10:55,889 --> 00:10:57,388
Once we are in
combat situations,
228
00:10:57,457 --> 00:10:59,157
you will not accept
any order
229
00:10:59,226 --> 00:11:00,558
that does not use
the proper codes,
230
00:11:00,627 --> 00:11:02,560
even if it seems to come
from Captain Sheridan
231
00:11:02,629 --> 00:11:03,594
or myself.
232
00:11:03,663 --> 00:11:05,496
Earthforce has our
voice records on file
233
00:11:05,565 --> 00:11:07,565
and could simulate false
or misleading orders.
234
00:11:07,634 --> 00:11:09,234
C&c out.
235
00:11:09,302 --> 00:11:10,835
So from now on,
I guess
236
00:11:10,904 --> 00:11:12,837
the operational phrase
is "trust no one."
237
00:11:12,906 --> 00:11:15,173
No. Trust Ivanova,
trust yourself.
238
00:11:15,242 --> 00:11:17,242
Anybody else,
shoot 'em.
239
00:11:35,328 --> 00:11:37,428
White Star squadrons
are standing by
240
00:11:37,497 --> 00:11:38,763
and ready to go.
As per your request,
241
00:11:38,832 --> 00:11:40,431
White Stars 7,
12, and 18
242
00:11:40,500 --> 00:11:42,433
are in hyperspace
en route to Earth space.
243
00:11:42,502 --> 00:11:44,602
They should be arriving
in about 10 to 12 hours.
244
00:11:44,671 --> 00:11:46,604
Have them
jump into normal space
245
00:11:46,673 --> 00:11:48,372
as soon as they arrive.
246
00:11:48,441 --> 00:11:51,442
2 by Mars, another as
close to Earth as possible
247
00:11:51,511 --> 00:11:52,877
without being shot down.
248
00:11:52,946 --> 00:11:54,612
But they'll set off
the early warning systems,
249
00:11:54,681 --> 00:11:56,881
and Clark will scramble
everything he's got.
250
00:11:56,950 --> 00:11:58,950
I want them to think we're
flying reconnaissance flights,
251
00:11:59,019 --> 00:12:02,787
preparing for a strike
to liberate Mars or Earth.
252
00:12:02,856 --> 00:12:05,623
That should be enough
to make him panic,
253
00:12:05,692 --> 00:12:07,091
call in all the ships
that he can--
254
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,626
while we hit Proxima 3.
255
00:12:08,695 --> 00:12:10,161
Exactly.
256
00:12:10,230 --> 00:12:11,629
By the time they
get turned around,
257
00:12:11,698 --> 00:12:12,797
we'll have secured Proxima.
258
00:12:12,866 --> 00:12:14,899
Then all we have to do
259
00:12:14,968 --> 00:12:16,968
is hold onto it while we
move on to the next target.
260
00:12:17,037 --> 00:12:18,803
Have you heard
from Marcus yet?
261
00:12:18,872 --> 00:12:20,571
He should be almost
to Proxima by now.
262
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:21,639
He's standing by
in hyperspace
263
00:12:21,708 --> 00:12:23,308
with the first
White Star squadron.
264
00:12:23,376 --> 00:12:24,642
The rest of them
will be arriving
265
00:12:24,711 --> 00:12:25,977
in groups
of twos and threes,
266
00:12:26,046 --> 00:12:27,312
staying just far
enough off the beacon
267
00:12:27,380 --> 00:12:28,313
to avoid detection.
268
00:12:28,381 --> 00:12:29,480
Good. Good.
269
00:12:29,549 --> 00:12:31,816
That should give us a jump
on those destroyers.
270
00:12:31,885 --> 00:12:33,684
I just hope
some of them join us.
271
00:12:33,753 --> 00:12:35,887
Otherwise, this is going
to get really ugly.
272
00:12:44,898 --> 00:12:46,831
Female pilot:
Scout 17 to heracles,
273
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:48,499
beginning patrol.
274
00:12:48,568 --> 00:12:50,501
Man: Roger that.
Take your time.
275
00:12:50,570 --> 00:12:52,470
We're not going anywhere.
276
00:12:52,538 --> 00:12:54,138
Female pilot:
Affirmative.
277
00:13:04,918 --> 00:13:07,185
Male pilot: White Star 14
to White Star prime.
278
00:13:07,254 --> 00:13:08,319
We're in position.
279
00:13:08,388 --> 00:13:11,522
Good. Maintain radio
silence until notified.
280
00:13:11,591 --> 00:13:13,024
I'm on with
the resistance.
281
00:13:13,093 --> 00:13:14,692
We don't want
too many signals
282
00:13:14,761 --> 00:13:15,693
attracting attention.
283
00:13:15,762 --> 00:13:18,196
Pilot:
Confirmed.
284
00:13:18,265 --> 00:13:19,364
You still there?
285
00:13:19,432 --> 00:13:20,531
Man: Still here.
286
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,367
Don't know how much
longer we can hold out.
287
00:13:22,435 --> 00:13:24,869
We're moving
as fast as we can.
288
00:13:24,938 --> 00:13:26,704
Do you have
any information
289
00:13:26,773 --> 00:13:28,206
about which destroyers
290
00:13:28,275 --> 00:13:31,042
have avoided firing
at civilian targets?
291
00:13:31,111 --> 00:13:33,211
Man: Yeah.
Uploading now.
292
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:34,879
Good.
293
00:13:34,948 --> 00:13:37,048
We'll contact you
again in 5 hours
294
00:13:37,117 --> 00:13:38,182
on the alternate frequency.

Stand by to--

00:13:40,954 --> 00:13:42,720
what's that?
297
00:13:42,789 --> 00:13:44,555
Are you all right?
298
00:13:44,624 --> 00:13:46,057
Man: Laser cannons.
They sent in
299
00:13:46,126 --> 00:13:48,893
more ground forces
a few days ago.
300
00:13:48,962 --> 00:13:50,895
We're going to have to
tear down the transmitter,
301
00:13:50,964 --> 00:13:52,730
fall back to
our secondary base.
302
00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:54,565
Whatever you people
are going to do,
303
00:13:54,634 --> 00:13:56,200
you'd better do it soon.

[Doorbell rings]
308
00:14:14,821 --> 00:14:16,287
Enter.
309
00:14:22,162 --> 00:14:23,627
Hello, G'Kar.
310
00:14:26,833 --> 00:14:29,100
I don't believe
I have ever been
311
00:14:29,169 --> 00:14:31,202
in your quarters
before.
312
00:14:31,271 --> 00:14:34,805
Unless you count a cell
on Centauri Prime.
313
00:14:34,874 --> 00:14:37,475
I apologize for
the lack of chains.
314
00:14:37,543 --> 00:14:40,278
The cleaning service
must have removed them.
315
00:14:40,347 --> 00:14:44,315
It has much the same
feeling as your world--
316
00:14:44,384 --> 00:14:46,150
dry...
317
00:14:46,219 --> 00:14:47,618
Red...
318
00:14:47,687 --> 00:14:48,853
And depressing.
319
00:14:50,857 --> 00:14:52,056
I...
320
00:14:54,861 --> 00:14:56,160
Isn't it amazing
321
00:14:56,229 --> 00:15:00,131
how quickly we fall
into familiar patterns
322
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,567
as soon as we come into
one another's orbit?
323
00:15:03,636 --> 00:15:05,636
Like comets that flare
324
00:15:05,705 --> 00:15:07,571
when they get
too near the sun.
325
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:13,111
I did not come here
to spar with you, G'Kar.
326
00:15:13,179 --> 00:15:14,578
I came...
327
00:15:20,387 --> 00:15:22,153
To talk to you.
328
00:15:26,859 --> 00:15:27,825
How is the eye?
329
00:15:27,894 --> 00:15:30,428
It sees.
330
00:15:30,497 --> 00:15:33,131
Good.
331
00:15:33,199 --> 00:15:36,300
Good.
332
00:15:36,369 --> 00:15:37,301
[Sighs]
333
00:15:37,370 --> 00:15:40,138
These last few years
334
00:15:40,206 --> 00:15:42,606
have been very difficult
for both of us, G'Kar.
335
00:15:42,675 --> 00:15:44,275
Ha.
336
00:15:44,344 --> 00:15:47,011
Harder on you, perhaps.
337
00:15:48,214 --> 00:15:50,148
But as the humans say,
338
00:15:50,216 --> 00:15:54,018
it's not exactly been
a picnic for me, either.
339
00:15:55,721 --> 00:15:58,656
I have no illusions that
you did what you did,
340
00:15:58,724 --> 00:16:02,160
endured
what you endured,
341
00:16:02,228 --> 00:16:04,662
for the good
of my people.
342
00:16:04,730 --> 00:16:06,664
You sacrificed
your dignity,
343
00:16:06,732 --> 00:16:09,167
your pride...
344
00:16:09,235 --> 00:16:13,504
Your eye to
help free Narn.
345
00:16:13,573 --> 00:16:15,540
But still,
in the process,
346
00:16:15,608 --> 00:16:20,078
you did help
my own world,
347
00:16:20,146 --> 00:16:22,880
and I never
thanked you for that.
348
00:16:22,949 --> 00:16:26,150
I have no interest
in your thanks.
349
00:16:26,219 --> 00:16:29,287
I did not think
that you would,
350
00:16:29,355 --> 00:16:31,722
but it is there anyway.
351
00:16:35,027 --> 00:16:36,294
[Sighs]
352
00:16:36,362 --> 00:16:38,629
As I said,
353
00:16:38,698 --> 00:16:40,098
a hard year.
354
00:16:40,166 --> 00:16:43,234
Yes...
355
00:16:43,303 --> 00:16:45,236
A hard year.
356
00:16:48,808 --> 00:16:53,244
What you said before
about the chains,
357
00:16:53,313 --> 00:16:54,778
that was unkind, G'Kar.
358
00:16:54,847 --> 00:16:59,584
When I saw you
in that cell,
359
00:16:59,652 --> 00:17:01,819
beaten, chained...
360
00:17:03,323 --> 00:17:05,323
As I said, we have
never been friends,
361
00:17:05,391 --> 00:17:07,158
we will
never be friends.
362
00:17:07,227 --> 00:17:08,926
There is too much
blood between us,
363
00:17:08,995 --> 00:17:10,995
too much history.
364
00:17:11,063 --> 00:17:14,265
But I did feel for you,
365
00:17:14,334 --> 00:17:16,100
as much as I
did not want to.
366
00:17:16,169 --> 00:17:18,102
In the beginning,
367
00:17:18,171 --> 00:17:23,107
it was little more
than the sympathy
368
00:17:23,176 --> 00:17:25,909
one might feel
for any trapped animal.
369
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,115
But in time...
370
00:17:31,184 --> 00:17:33,417
I came to respect you.
371
00:17:33,486 --> 00:17:36,454
Your respect
matters to me
372
00:17:36,523 --> 00:17:38,422
even less
than your thanks.
373
00:17:38,491 --> 00:17:41,959
You are not going to
give me even an inch,
374
00:17:42,028 --> 00:17:42,993
are you?
375
00:17:43,062 --> 00:17:46,430
I promised to free Narn
if you cooperated.
376
00:17:46,499 --> 00:17:48,566
I could have easily
changed my mind,
377
00:17:48,635 --> 00:17:50,734
but I kept my promise.
378
00:17:50,803 --> 00:17:52,903
Surely that entitles me
to something?
379
00:17:52,972 --> 00:17:55,072
Was there something else
you wanted to say?
380
00:17:56,643 --> 00:17:59,743
You may not
believe this, G'Kar,
381
00:17:59,812 --> 00:18:01,145
but all I ever wanted
382
00:18:01,214 --> 00:18:05,249
is what is right
for my world.
383
00:18:05,318 --> 00:18:08,085
I am a patriot,
384
00:18:08,154 --> 00:18:09,554
as you are.
385
00:18:12,325 --> 00:18:13,957
I have made some...
386
00:18:16,229 --> 00:18:18,028
Very poor choices
387
00:18:18,097 --> 00:18:20,764
in the last 2 years.
388
00:18:20,833 --> 00:18:22,533
Because I did not think,
389
00:18:22,602 --> 00:18:25,436
those choices almost
destroyed my world,
390
00:18:25,505 --> 00:18:27,438
and yours.
391
00:18:27,507 --> 00:18:30,941
That is a humbling
realization, G'Kar.
392
00:18:31,010 --> 00:18:34,278
If, with a single
wrong word,
393
00:18:34,347 --> 00:18:36,780
I can become the enemy,
394
00:18:36,849 --> 00:18:41,285
do I any longer
really understand
395
00:18:41,354 --> 00:18:42,986
who the enemy is?
396
00:18:45,258 --> 00:18:47,358
I have spoken
with my government.
397
00:18:47,427 --> 00:18:49,960
We will not
remain neutral
398
00:18:50,029 --> 00:18:52,963
in the matter of
Sheridan's war with Earth.
399
00:18:53,032 --> 00:18:55,132
I've convinced them
to throw
400
00:18:55,201 --> 00:18:57,868
our official support
to Sheridan.
401
00:19:00,773 --> 00:19:02,540
If the Narn...
402
00:19:04,110 --> 00:19:07,878
Were to do the same
in a joint statement,
403
00:19:07,947 --> 00:19:11,382
it might help.
404
00:19:11,451 --> 00:19:14,318
If 2 forces recently
at war with one another
405
00:19:14,387 --> 00:19:16,320
can agree on this...
406
00:19:18,458 --> 00:19:20,758
Perhaps it might help
to convince the others.
407
00:19:20,826 --> 00:19:23,327
Why?
408
00:19:25,131 --> 00:19:28,399
Because,
while I do not know
409
00:19:28,468 --> 00:19:31,502
who the enemy
is any longer,
410
00:19:31,571 --> 00:19:34,405
I do know who
my friends are...
411
00:19:36,142 --> 00:19:38,409
And that I have not
done as well by them
412
00:19:38,478 --> 00:19:39,777
as I should.
413
00:19:42,315 --> 00:19:43,981
I hope to change that.
414
00:19:45,652 --> 00:19:47,851
I hope to do better.
415
00:19:50,923 --> 00:19:54,024
Before war broke out
between our governments,
416
00:19:54,093 --> 00:19:57,027
you bought me a drink.
417
00:19:57,096 --> 00:19:59,597
I wish to
return the favor.
418
00:20:01,768 --> 00:20:05,536
For the first time
in a hundred years,
419
00:20:05,605 --> 00:20:08,706
we have something
in common beyond hatred.
420
00:20:10,176 --> 00:20:13,778
I find that
most extraordinary.
421
00:20:13,846 --> 00:20:16,213
And so, a drink...
422
00:20:16,282 --> 00:20:17,848
To the humans...
423
00:20:19,852 --> 00:20:24,054
And to the bridge
they created between us
424
00:20:24,123 --> 00:20:27,057
in the hope
for a better future
425
00:20:27,126 --> 00:20:29,593
for both our worlds.
426
00:21:07,900 --> 00:21:09,667
I see.
427
00:21:27,553 --> 00:21:28,853
Captain on deck!
428
00:21:28,921 --> 00:21:30,688
[Chatter stops]
429
00:21:32,592 --> 00:21:33,824
As you were.
430
00:21:36,396 --> 00:21:38,696
We've received the information
we've been waiting for
431
00:21:38,765 --> 00:21:41,031
and can proceed with the attack
against the forces
432
00:21:41,100 --> 00:21:43,000
holding Proxima 3.
433
00:21:43,068 --> 00:21:45,335
We'll hit them
in 3 waves,
434
00:21:45,405 --> 00:21:47,337
pull their forces apart,
435
00:21:47,407 --> 00:21:49,907
and surround them
with superior firepower.
436
00:21:49,975 --> 00:21:54,011
The details have been
linked to your ships.
437
00:21:54,079 --> 00:21:56,013
You will not discuss
that information
438
00:21:56,081 --> 00:21:57,347
amongst yourselves
439
00:21:57,417 --> 00:21:59,182
or with anyone else
440
00:21:59,251 --> 00:22:01,184
until the mission
is complete.
441
00:22:01,253 --> 00:22:02,853
We'll be fighting
in close quarters,
442
00:22:02,922 --> 00:22:04,688
so keep an eye out
for each other.
443
00:22:04,757 --> 00:22:06,356
If the battle deteriorates
into a fur-ball,
444
00:22:06,426 --> 00:22:08,659
we could sustain losses
from friendly fire.
445
00:22:08,728 --> 00:22:10,461
The heracles
and the pollux
446
00:22:10,530 --> 00:22:13,631
have fired on
civilian targets,
447
00:22:13,699 --> 00:22:16,634
so we consider them
a hostile vessel.
448
00:22:16,702 --> 00:22:18,235
The Nemesis and the Vesta
449
00:22:18,304 --> 00:22:20,070
have apparently gone
to great lengths
450
00:22:20,139 --> 00:22:22,473
to avoid
firing on civilians.
451
00:22:22,542 --> 00:22:26,977
The others...
We don't know.
452
00:22:27,046 --> 00:22:30,314
We'll give them a chance
to surrender or stand down,
453
00:22:30,382 --> 00:22:33,317
but we won't risk
our forces to do it.
454
00:22:33,385 --> 00:22:34,919
So if you're fired upon
455
00:22:34,987 --> 00:22:37,154
or a target vessel
locks onto your ship,
456
00:22:37,222 --> 00:22:39,957
you have full authority
to return fire and engage.
457
00:22:40,025 --> 00:22:43,828
Of all the missions
we've flown...
458
00:22:45,164 --> 00:22:47,264
This will be
the most difficult.
459
00:22:47,333 --> 00:22:49,800
I mean, it's one thing
to defend ourselves
460
00:22:49,869 --> 00:22:52,503
as we did last year.
461
00:22:52,572 --> 00:22:55,940
But to initiate combat
against our own forces...
462
00:22:58,010 --> 00:23:00,678
That's a hard one.
463
00:23:00,746 --> 00:23:03,013
I can only tell you
that we take this action
464
00:23:03,082 --> 00:23:05,449
with the utmost reluctance.
465
00:23:05,518 --> 00:23:08,352
If there
were any other way,
466
00:23:08,420 --> 00:23:09,720
we'd take it.
467
00:23:11,357 --> 00:23:13,791
There isn't one.
468
00:23:13,860 --> 00:23:15,292
Now, we'll do what we can
469
00:23:15,361 --> 00:23:18,963
to minimize casualties
on the other side,
470
00:23:19,031 --> 00:23:20,698
but the job of a soldier
471
00:23:20,766 --> 00:23:24,735
is to destroy the enemy
and come home alive.
472
00:23:24,804 --> 00:23:26,971
[Sighs]
473
00:23:27,039 --> 00:23:28,873
To that end...
474
00:23:30,710 --> 00:23:32,342
Do what you have to do.
475
00:23:48,227 --> 00:23:49,727
Corwin:
They're clear to leave.
476
00:23:49,795 --> 00:23:51,896
Ivanova: I know.
477
00:23:51,964 --> 00:23:54,231
I was noticing
the new paint job
478
00:23:54,299 --> 00:23:56,066
on the White Star 2.
479
00:23:56,135 --> 00:23:58,402
Won't they--
480
00:23:58,470 --> 00:24:01,405
I mean, won't they
know it's him?
481
00:24:01,473 --> 00:24:03,007
I think that's
the general idea,
482
00:24:03,075 --> 00:24:04,141
Lieutenant.
483
00:24:25,097 --> 00:24:26,530
Ah, Marcus, good.
484
00:24:26,599 --> 00:24:29,199
Open up a channel to
the rest of the ships.
485
00:24:29,268 --> 00:24:31,368
Enzi ko.
486
00:24:31,437 --> 00:24:33,203
Tekash.
487
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,540
Opening channel.
488
00:24:38,444 --> 00:24:40,044
You're on.
489
00:24:40,112 --> 00:24:43,581
Assault base to unit 1,
take position.
490
00:24:51,958 --> 00:24:54,458
Stand by
to initiate jump.
491
00:24:58,230 --> 00:24:59,597
Jump!
492
00:25:06,806 --> 00:25:08,338
What the hell's
going on?
493
00:25:08,407 --> 00:25:09,339
Jump point forming
494
00:25:09,408 --> 00:25:10,340
on the other side
of the planet.
495
00:25:10,409 --> 00:25:11,842
Picking up
3 silhouettes.
496
00:25:11,911 --> 00:25:13,677
Are they advancing
on our position?
497
00:25:13,746 --> 00:25:15,913
Negative. Taking up
geostationary orbit
498
00:25:15,982 --> 00:25:17,180
on the other side
of the planet.
499
00:25:17,249 --> 00:25:20,517
Probably hoping we
haven't noticed them yet.
500
00:25:20,586 --> 00:25:22,753
Good. Send the pollux
and the Nemesis
501
00:25:22,822 --> 00:25:23,854
to investigate.
502
00:25:23,923 --> 00:25:25,589
Yes, sir.
503
00:25:32,932 --> 00:25:36,133
Nemesis and pollux
moving to intercept.
504
00:25:36,201 --> 00:25:37,801
Not the heracles?
505
00:25:37,870 --> 00:25:39,870
No. Curious, that.
506
00:25:39,939 --> 00:25:41,105
You'd think
they'd send the ones
507
00:25:41,173 --> 00:25:42,405
we know
are liable to shoot.
508
00:25:42,474 --> 00:25:44,307
The hostiles
might be splitting up
509
00:25:44,376 --> 00:25:45,943
so they can be
with both groups,
510
00:25:46,012 --> 00:25:47,477
to keep them in line.
511
00:25:47,546 --> 00:25:48,979
Unless they're
all hostile,
512
00:25:49,048 --> 00:25:52,482
and some are just more
hostile than others.
513
00:25:52,551 --> 00:25:54,484
Well, thank you for that
ray of sunshine, Marcus.
514
00:25:54,553 --> 00:25:56,153
Next time I feel
the need to be depressed,
515
00:25:56,221 --> 00:25:57,988
I'll remember
to give you a call.
516
00:25:58,057 --> 00:26:01,992
Second unit, take position.
Stand by to jump.
517
00:26:10,736 --> 00:26:15,139
Nemesis and pollux on
final approach to Proxima.
518
00:26:15,207 --> 00:26:18,341
Now it gets interesting.
519
00:26:18,410 --> 00:26:19,476
All units...
520
00:26:19,545 --> 00:26:22,512
Remember, do not fire
unless fired upon first.
521
00:26:22,581 --> 00:26:24,314
They may not fight
for Clark,
522
00:26:24,383 --> 00:26:25,983
but they will
defend themselves.
523
00:26:26,052 --> 00:26:28,518
So don't back them
into a corner.
524
00:26:28,587 --> 00:26:31,689
Second unit...Launch.
525
00:26:36,028 --> 00:26:40,497
We've got multiple warships
on approach vector...
526
00:26:40,566 --> 00:26:41,999
Silhouette unknown.
527
00:26:44,269 --> 00:26:47,504
Those are Sheridan's forces.
528
00:26:47,573 --> 00:26:49,206
I've heard about them
529
00:26:49,274 --> 00:26:50,708
but never seen them
before.
530
00:26:50,776 --> 00:26:54,211
Captain Sheridan?
What's he doing here?
531
00:26:54,279 --> 00:26:57,881
Making
a terminal error.
532
00:26:57,950 --> 00:26:59,349
This is fleet command.
533
00:26:59,418 --> 00:27:02,519
We've got hostiles
on attack vector.
534
00:27:02,588 --> 00:27:03,520
Vesta and juno,
535
00:27:03,589 --> 00:27:06,023
launch fighters
and assume point.
536
00:27:12,765 --> 00:27:15,733
Second enemy wing is
advancing on our position.
537
00:27:15,801 --> 00:27:17,735
Nemesis and pollux
are aware of our situation
538
00:27:17,803 --> 00:27:19,402
and asking for instructions.
539
00:27:19,471 --> 00:27:21,538
Do we issue
the recall order?
540
00:27:21,607 --> 00:27:22,539
Negative.
541
00:27:22,608 --> 00:27:23,874
Man: Defense grid
lining up.
542
00:27:23,943 --> 00:27:25,209
If they turn around,
543
00:27:25,277 --> 00:27:27,211
they'll expose their flank
to the enemy,
544
00:27:27,279 --> 00:27:29,579
and we'll be caught between
2 groups of hostiles.
545
00:27:29,648 --> 00:27:32,582
10,000 kilometers
to optimum firing range.
546
00:27:32,651 --> 00:27:34,918
Pulse cannons standing by,
ready to fire,
547
00:27:34,987 --> 00:27:36,887
defense grid armed,
ready to fire.
548
00:27:36,956 --> 00:27:37,888
[Beep]
549
00:27:37,957 --> 00:27:38,889
Signal coming in.
550
00:27:38,958 --> 00:27:40,557
Let me hear it.
551
00:27:40,626 --> 00:27:42,893
Sheridan: Repeat. This is
Captain John Sheridan
552
00:27:42,962 --> 00:27:44,895
to Earth destroyer group.
553
00:27:44,964 --> 00:27:45,896
Track the signal.
554
00:27:45,965 --> 00:27:47,097
Find out
which ship he's in.
555
00:27:47,166 --> 00:27:49,767
Getting signal lock,
sir, it's...
556
00:27:49,835 --> 00:27:52,136
Sir, it's coming from
behind us.
557
00:27:55,808 --> 00:27:57,941
Sheridan: You are ordered
to stand down
558
00:27:58,010 --> 00:28:00,410
or leave the Proxima system
at once.
559
00:28:00,479 --> 00:28:03,747
You are in violation
of the Proxima treaty,
560
00:28:03,816 --> 00:28:07,117
and your attacks on
civilian transports are illegal
561
00:28:07,186 --> 00:28:11,255
under the rules of engagement
and the articles of war.
562
00:28:11,323 --> 00:28:13,456
You can leave peacefully
if that is your choice,
563
00:28:13,525 --> 00:28:17,594
but we are prepared to use
deadly force if necessary.
564
00:28:17,663 --> 00:28:18,962
Son of a--
565
00:28:19,031 --> 00:28:21,131
8,000 kilometers
to optimum firing range.
566
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:22,800
Enemy ships
closing at the rear.
567
00:28:22,868 --> 00:28:24,601
Do we turn and engage
or continue?
568
00:28:24,670 --> 00:28:27,971
Continue toward
primary target.
569
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:29,973
Fleet command to
Vesta and furies.
570
00:28:30,042 --> 00:28:32,309
Come about and
engage rear targets.
571
00:28:32,377 --> 00:28:34,278
This is Captain Edward
MacDougan of the Vesta
572
00:28:34,346 --> 00:28:35,445
to hostile vessels.
573
00:28:35,514 --> 00:28:37,281
Mac? What the hell
are you doing?
574
00:28:37,349 --> 00:28:38,916
Maintain
radio silence.
575
00:28:38,984 --> 00:28:42,786
Mackie...long time,
no see.
576
00:28:42,855 --> 00:28:44,621
MacDougan: John,
get your tail out of here.
577
00:28:44,690 --> 00:28:46,056
This isn't going to work.
578
00:28:46,125 --> 00:28:48,292
Like it or not,
579
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:53,130
Proxima 3 is under
Earth jurisdiction.
580
00:28:53,199 --> 00:28:54,631
We can't allow them
to secede,
581
00:28:54,700 --> 00:28:55,665
whoever's in office.
582
00:28:55,734 --> 00:28:57,801
They broke away
after Clark started
583
00:28:57,870 --> 00:29:00,637
bombing
civilian targets.
584
00:29:00,706 --> 00:29:03,006
What's the rule about
following an illegal order?
585
00:29:03,075 --> 00:29:06,509
You don't.
But we're not involved.
586
00:29:06,578 --> 00:29:08,345
We haven't attacked anyone.
587
00:29:08,413 --> 00:29:09,980
But you're about to.
588
00:29:10,049 --> 00:29:13,183
Any action you take in
support of an illegal order
589
00:29:13,252 --> 00:29:15,986
makes you an accomplice
of that order.
590
00:29:16,055 --> 00:29:17,787
Oh, come on, mackie...
591
00:29:17,857 --> 00:29:20,490
President Clark is--
is out of control.
592
00:29:20,559 --> 00:29:22,792
He's got you out here
on an illegal mission.
593
00:29:22,862 --> 00:29:24,328
Back at the academy,
594
00:29:24,396 --> 00:29:27,664
you used to pose
moral conflicts for us
595
00:29:27,733 --> 00:29:29,333
as part of our training.
596
00:29:29,401 --> 00:29:32,202
You said that soldiers
aren't machines.
597
00:29:32,271 --> 00:29:33,703
They have to think.
598
00:29:33,772 --> 00:29:35,672
They have to decide
if a--
599
00:29:35,741 --> 00:29:37,507
if an order
is moral or not.
600
00:29:37,576 --> 00:29:41,444
Well, what does your
conscience tell you?
601
00:29:48,587 --> 00:29:50,687
We have reached
optimum firing range.
602
00:29:50,756 --> 00:29:52,689
That damned MacDougan--
I told the others
603
00:29:52,758 --> 00:29:54,557
he didn't have
what it takes.
604
00:29:54,626 --> 00:29:58,595
Fine. We'll force
the issue. Open fire.
605
00:30:08,207 --> 00:30:09,439
Uh! Aah!
606
00:30:12,378 --> 00:30:13,710
Heracles has opened fire.
607
00:30:13,779 --> 00:30:16,546
Other ships moving
to support.
608
00:30:16,615 --> 00:30:18,048
Fighters launching.
609
00:30:18,117 --> 00:30:20,717
Damn.
610
00:30:20,786 --> 00:30:22,019
All right.
611
00:30:25,291 --> 00:30:27,391
All forces,
engage any hostile target.
612
00:30:27,459 --> 00:30:28,725
Fire at will.
613
00:30:28,794 --> 00:30:31,061
I repeat, fire at will.
614
00:30:42,708 --> 00:30:44,074
Fighter 1:
Pull up, pull up.
615
00:30:44,142 --> 00:30:45,508
Fighter 2:
Alpha 4 on your tail.
616
00:30:53,952 --> 00:30:55,885
Where the hell
is our support?
617
00:30:55,954 --> 00:30:57,220
What's the position
of the Vesta?
618
00:30:57,288 --> 00:30:59,555
Hanging back,
not engaging enemy.
619
00:30:59,625 --> 00:31:01,557
Fighter 3: C'mon, we've
got heavy damage here.
620
00:31:01,627 --> 00:31:05,729
MacDougan! This is a direct
order from fleet command.
621
00:31:05,797 --> 00:31:08,098
You will engage
enemy ships at once.
622
00:31:08,166 --> 00:31:09,099
Do you copy?
623
00:31:09,167 --> 00:31:12,235
Engage enemy forces
at once!
624
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:15,772
[Beep beep]
625
00:31:15,841 --> 00:31:17,607
Negative,
fleet Commander.
626
00:31:17,676 --> 00:31:18,775
Vesta will not engage
627
00:31:18,844 --> 00:31:20,610
in support of
illegal orders.
628
00:31:20,679 --> 00:31:22,278
This is a court martial
offense, mackie!
629
00:31:22,347 --> 00:31:23,947
Do you understand that?
630
00:31:24,016 --> 00:31:26,116
Commander philby,
631
00:31:26,184 --> 00:31:28,118
under the authority
of Earthforce command,
632
00:31:28,186 --> 00:31:30,120
I am hereby promoting you
to Captain
633
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:32,255
and ordering you to
relieve Captain MacDougan.
634
00:31:32,323 --> 00:31:34,457
You will bring the Vesta
into the fight.
635
00:31:34,526 --> 00:31:35,925
Do you copy, Commander?
636
00:31:40,365 --> 00:31:44,433
I always knew you wanted
a promotion, Bob.
637
00:31:44,502 --> 00:31:47,303
Never knew how badly
until now.
638
00:31:56,682 --> 00:31:58,782
Vesta is starting
to come about.
639
00:31:58,850 --> 00:32:01,651
Pollux and heracles are hit
but continuing to fight.
640
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,653
Juno, Nemesis, and the
furies are advancing,
641
00:32:03,722 --> 00:32:05,254
but have not yet engaged.
642
00:32:05,323 --> 00:32:06,923
We can't divide our forces.
643
00:32:06,992 --> 00:32:09,292
We need to know where
to put our fire power.
644
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,127
Put us on a course
for the furies.
645
00:32:11,196 --> 00:32:12,829
Tell the others
646
00:32:12,898 --> 00:32:14,964
to concentrate on
the pollux and heracles.
647
00:32:15,033 --> 00:32:17,100
Let's find out
where she stands.
648
00:32:20,872 --> 00:32:23,272
Sheridan to Captain Eckland.
649
00:32:23,341 --> 00:32:25,175
We are advancing
on your position,
650
00:32:25,243 --> 00:32:27,010
but we are not
preparing to fire.
651
00:32:27,079 --> 00:32:30,947
I say again, we are not
preparing to fire.
652
00:32:31,016 --> 00:32:32,182
If you and your fighters
653
00:32:32,250 --> 00:32:34,784
do not lock your weapon
systems onto our ships,
654
00:32:34,853 --> 00:32:37,854
we will assume you are not
hostile and will not engage.
655
00:32:44,696 --> 00:32:46,362
Are they locking?
656
00:32:46,431 --> 00:32:48,364
Negative.
657
00:32:48,433 --> 00:32:50,200
Might be waiting for us
to get close--
658
00:32:50,268 --> 00:32:51,400
get a clean shot
that way.
659
00:32:51,469 --> 00:32:54,604
Well, we're about
to find out.
660
00:33:00,946 --> 00:33:02,378
Sheridan to attack fleet.
661
00:33:02,447 --> 00:33:05,982
Do not target furies.
She's noncombatant.
662
00:33:06,051 --> 00:33:09,252
Repeat,
furies noncombatant.
663
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:10,887
That was the Vesta.
664
00:33:10,956 --> 00:33:13,489
Forward guns have us
in range.
665
00:33:13,558 --> 00:33:14,924
We've got fighters
coming in.
666
00:33:19,731 --> 00:33:21,765
No, I won't fire on her.
Mackie's on board.
667
00:33:21,833 --> 00:33:23,099
We have no choice.
668
00:33:23,168 --> 00:33:24,901
They've locked on--
ready to fire.
669
00:33:24,970 --> 00:33:27,170
Damn. Prepare to--
670
00:33:27,239 --> 00:33:28,671
MacDougan:
Vesta to Sheridan.
671
00:33:28,740 --> 00:33:30,740
Stand by.
Mackie, go.
672
00:33:30,809 --> 00:33:32,075
Commander philby's
promotion
673
00:33:32,144 --> 00:33:35,344
has just been
postponed by the crew.
674
00:33:35,413 --> 00:33:39,249
The Vesta is non-hostile.
We are standing down.
675
00:33:39,317 --> 00:33:40,283
Confirmed, mackie.
676
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:41,751
2 down.
677
00:33:41,820 --> 00:33:43,186
3.
678
00:33:43,255 --> 00:33:44,788
Juno is withdrawing
from battle.
679
00:34:10,615 --> 00:34:13,183
God...the crew.
680
00:34:13,251 --> 00:34:16,619
Get to the life pods.
Get to the life pods.
681
00:34:24,162 --> 00:34:25,895
Pollux is destroyed.
682
00:34:25,964 --> 00:34:27,964
Nemesis has taken
severe damage
683
00:34:28,033 --> 00:34:30,466
and is offering
to surrender.
684
00:34:30,535 --> 00:34:32,202
Get me the heracles.
685
00:34:35,540 --> 00:34:37,240
Attack fleet to heracles.
686
00:34:37,309 --> 00:34:41,144
You are outnumbered
and outgunned.
687
00:34:41,213 --> 00:34:46,249
Your defenses are down
and your weapons disabled.
688
00:34:46,318 --> 00:34:48,651
You will return control
of Proxima 3
689
00:34:48,720 --> 00:34:50,987
to its lawful government,
690
00:34:51,056 --> 00:34:54,324
issue the recall order
to all fighters,
691
00:34:54,392 --> 00:34:56,993
and surrender your vessel.
692
00:34:57,062 --> 00:34:59,662
You will comply
with these orders...
693
00:34:59,731 --> 00:35:01,664
Or be destroyed.
694
00:35:01,733 --> 00:35:02,832
Captain?
695
00:35:02,901 --> 00:35:04,834
He won't do it.
He knows we can't hurt him.
696
00:35:04,903 --> 00:35:05,935
He won't fire on us.
697
00:35:06,004 --> 00:35:07,103
You don't know that.
698
00:35:07,172 --> 00:35:09,272
I'm in charge
of this mission, Commander.
699
00:35:09,341 --> 00:35:11,674
I will not surrender
Proxima or stand trial
700
00:35:11,743 --> 00:35:13,442
for following direct orders.
701
00:35:13,511 --> 00:35:15,945
I'm the one they'll hold
responsible, not you.
702
00:35:16,014 --> 00:35:17,180
I'm dead either way.
703
00:35:17,249 --> 00:35:18,614
Sheridan:
You have 30 seconds.
704
00:35:18,683 --> 00:35:20,183
I won't let you
endanger this ship
705
00:35:20,252 --> 00:35:21,517
because you are
afraid to face
706
00:35:21,586 --> 00:35:22,785
the consequences
of your actions.
707
00:35:22,854 --> 00:35:25,821
Are you questioning
my orders, Commander?
708
00:35:25,891 --> 00:35:28,324
No, sir. I am relieving
you of command.
709
00:35:28,393 --> 00:35:31,427
Remove Captain Hall
from the bridge.
710
00:35:34,933 --> 00:35:36,099
Now!
711
00:35:41,606 --> 00:35:44,473
Heracles to attack fleet.
The heracles surrenders.
712
00:35:44,542 --> 00:35:47,043
I say again,
the heracles surrenders.
713
00:35:47,112 --> 00:35:48,878
We are returning
control of Proxima 3
714
00:35:48,947 --> 00:35:50,380
to its local government.
715
00:35:50,448 --> 00:35:52,681
All fighters,
return to base.
716
00:35:52,750 --> 00:35:56,219
It looks
as if we won.
717
00:35:56,288 --> 00:35:59,055
No, we've achieved
the mission objective.
718
00:35:59,124 --> 00:36:01,557
It is not a victory.
719
00:36:01,626 --> 00:36:04,894
Too many on both sides
had to die for it.
720
00:36:04,963 --> 00:36:07,230
This is just the start.
721
00:36:07,299 --> 00:36:09,232
We had surprise on our side
this time.
722
00:36:09,301 --> 00:36:11,901
From now on,
it gets a lot harder.
723
00:36:14,139 --> 00:36:16,072
Have the Captains
of the remaining ships
724
00:36:16,141 --> 00:36:18,408
meet me here in one hour.
725
00:36:18,476 --> 00:36:23,246
Let's see if we have
survivors...Or allies.
726
00:36:41,500 --> 00:36:44,267
Please be seated.
727
00:36:44,336 --> 00:36:46,603
[Sighs]
728
00:36:46,672 --> 00:36:50,440
What happened here today
was difficult for all of us,
729
00:36:50,509 --> 00:36:52,275
but it's over now.
730
00:36:52,344 --> 00:36:56,946
What we have to decide now
is what we do next.
731
00:36:57,015 --> 00:37:02,285
Option 1: You and your crews
can return home.
732
00:37:02,354 --> 00:37:03,953
I won't stop you.
733
00:37:04,022 --> 00:37:06,623
Sooner or later,
the heracles and her crew
734
00:37:06,692 --> 00:37:08,291
will have to answer
for their actions
735
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,260
before a military tribunal,
736
00:37:11,330 --> 00:37:13,963
but that's not our problem
for now.
737
00:37:14,032 --> 00:37:19,302
Option 2: You can stay here
and help protect Proxima 3
738
00:37:19,371 --> 00:37:22,472
from further reTaliation
by President Clark.
739
00:37:22,541 --> 00:37:26,476
And option 3:
740
00:37:26,545 --> 00:37:30,680
You can come with us...
Join the fight.
741
00:37:30,749 --> 00:37:33,282
Captain, I wasn't about
to let Captain Hall
742
00:37:33,352 --> 00:37:37,119
get the rest of my crew killed
defending Clark's policies.
743
00:37:37,188 --> 00:37:39,956
I happen to disagree
with those policies.
744
00:37:40,024 --> 00:37:43,125
But that doesn't mean I agree
with your actions either.
745
00:37:43,194 --> 00:37:46,295
It's not the role of
the military to make policy.
746
00:37:46,365 --> 00:37:49,499
Our mandate
is to defend Earth
747
00:37:49,568 --> 00:37:51,167
against all enemies,
748
00:37:51,236 --> 00:37:53,837
foreign and domestic.
749
00:37:53,905 --> 00:37:58,341
Now Clark has become
that enemy.
750
00:37:58,410 --> 00:38:01,310
Your oath is to the alliance
and to the people back home,
751
00:38:01,380 --> 00:38:02,545
not to any particular
government.
752
00:38:02,614 --> 00:38:04,013
You're splitting
the hair
753
00:38:04,082 --> 00:38:05,281
mighty thin, John.
754
00:38:05,350 --> 00:38:08,351
Am I?
Night watch?
755
00:38:08,420 --> 00:38:11,488
Ministry of peace?
Ministry of truth?
756
00:38:11,556 --> 00:38:13,990
I mean, is this
the same alliance you joined,
757
00:38:14,058 --> 00:38:16,526
or--or has it become
something else?
758
00:38:16,595 --> 00:38:18,695
The orders
you've been getting--
759
00:38:18,764 --> 00:38:21,831
do they represent the ideal
of the alliance
760
00:38:21,900 --> 00:38:24,667
or of a dictatorship?
761
00:38:24,736 --> 00:38:27,504
You've been ordered to open fire
on civilian targets.
762
00:38:27,572 --> 00:38:30,473
Is this
what you signed on for?
763
00:38:30,542 --> 00:38:32,542
Now we've made contact
with other ships
764
00:38:32,611 --> 00:38:34,878
that have left Earthforce.
765
00:38:34,946 --> 00:38:37,714
They should be getting here
in the next few hours.
766
00:38:37,783 --> 00:38:40,717
Now, some will stay
and hold Proxima.
767
00:38:40,786 --> 00:38:42,385
The others
will come with us.
768
00:38:42,454 --> 00:38:45,221
I thought you had all league
worlds backing you up.
769
00:38:45,290 --> 00:38:46,823
Why do you need us?
770
00:38:46,892 --> 00:38:50,894
Because I want this to be
a clean fight.
771
00:38:50,962 --> 00:38:53,229
The other worlds
won't fight for us,
772
00:38:53,298 --> 00:38:55,899
but they won't get
in our way, either.
773
00:38:55,967 --> 00:38:58,735
It's your call.
774
00:38:58,804 --> 00:39:02,204
I'd like you to join us.
775
00:39:02,273 --> 00:39:04,240
We'll kick out Clark
and the night watch
776
00:39:04,309 --> 00:39:05,708
and the rest of that bunch,
777
00:39:05,777 --> 00:39:07,410
and we'll turn it over
to the voters.
778
00:39:07,479 --> 00:39:10,914
Let them decide if what
we did was right or wrong.
779
00:39:10,982 --> 00:39:13,416
Because
in the final analysis...
780
00:39:15,821 --> 00:39:18,822
Those are the people
we work for.
781
00:39:25,330 --> 00:39:27,163
We need to talk
it over.
782
00:39:29,801 --> 00:39:31,067
Of course.
783
00:40:18,216 --> 00:40:21,117
Issue the joint statement.
784
00:40:21,185 --> 00:40:22,986
I will sign my name.
785
00:40:24,723 --> 00:40:28,658
But not on the same page.
786
00:40:28,727 --> 00:40:30,259
Do you understand that?
787
00:40:30,328 --> 00:40:34,330
Yes...yes, of course.
788
00:41:26,284 --> 00:41:28,384
The others
have decided.
789
00:41:28,453 --> 00:41:29,786
Commander levitt
is going to retire
790
00:41:29,854 --> 00:41:31,353
from the field.
791
00:41:31,422 --> 00:41:34,057
She's going to take
the heracles to beta 9
792
00:41:34,125 --> 00:41:35,157
for repairs.
793
00:41:35,226 --> 00:41:36,726
She's going to keep
Captain Hall
794
00:41:36,795 --> 00:41:37,894
under house arrest
795
00:41:37,963 --> 00:41:40,663
until this is over,
one way or the other.
796
00:41:40,732 --> 00:41:42,131
And the rest?
797
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,233
Eckland is going
to stay behind
798
00:41:44,302 --> 00:41:46,736
and help with
the defense of Proxima.
799
00:41:46,805 --> 00:41:50,206
Kawagawa wants
to sign on with you.
800
00:41:52,110 --> 00:41:53,643
And so do I.
801
00:41:56,081 --> 00:41:57,981
Ha ha ha!
802
00:41:59,751 --> 00:42:01,350
This is Commander
Susan Ivanova
803
00:42:01,419 --> 00:42:03,419
bringing you
the voice of the resistance.
804
00:42:03,488 --> 00:42:06,089
Today, elite forces
dispatched from Babylon 5
805
00:42:06,157 --> 00:42:09,092
engaged a destroyer group
stationed at Proxima 3.
806
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,095
Both sides endured heavy losses,
but we can announce
807
00:42:12,163 --> 00:42:13,395
that Proxima 3
808
00:42:13,464 --> 00:42:16,398
has been liberated from
the forces occupying it.
809
00:42:16,467 --> 00:42:19,435
I repeat,
Proxima 3 is free.
810
00:42:19,504 --> 00:42:21,771
Many of the destroyers
enforcing the blockade
811
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:23,940
have now joined forces
with our ships.
812
00:42:24,009 --> 00:42:26,208
The campaign to retake Earth
has begun.
813
00:42:26,277 --> 00:42:27,944
As a result,
we send this plea
814
00:42:28,013 --> 00:42:29,779
to all cruisers
and carrier groups
815
00:42:29,848 --> 00:42:32,448
that have chosen to stand down
rather than execute
816
00:42:32,517 --> 00:42:35,618
the illegal orders of
President Clark: Join us.
817
00:42:35,687 --> 00:42:38,621
We will keep this channel
open 24 hours a day.
818
00:42:38,690 --> 00:42:43,126
If you want to make a stand
for Earth, now is the time.
819
00:42:45,830 --> 00:42:47,764
Destination?
820
00:42:47,832 --> 00:42:50,133
Mars.
821
00:42:50,201 --> 00:42:51,634
It'll take a while.
822
00:42:51,703 --> 00:42:54,137
Nope. I've got some
people in high places
823
00:42:54,205 --> 00:42:55,805
taking care of things.
824
00:42:55,874 --> 00:42:59,809
If you say so.
When you coming back?
825
00:43:02,047 --> 00:43:03,813
I'm not.
826
00:43:09,387 --> 00:43:10,987
Ivanova:
In a related move,
827
00:43:11,056 --> 00:43:12,488
the Centauri and Narn
governments
828
00:43:12,557 --> 00:43:14,157
issued a joint statement
today
829
00:43:14,225 --> 00:43:16,492
recognizing the legitimacy
of the liberation of Proxima
830
00:43:16,561 --> 00:43:19,495
and throwing their support
behind the new campaign.
831
00:43:19,564 --> 00:43:20,663
It is our hope
832
00:43:20,732 --> 00:43:22,832
that this unprecedented
act of cooperation
833
00:43:22,901 --> 00:43:25,168
between two previously hostile
governments
834
00:43:25,236 --> 00:43:26,836
will Mark the beginning
of a new age
835
00:43:26,905 --> 00:43:30,173
of cooperation and trust.
