1
00:00:10,511 --> 00:00:15,147
Pilot: Shuttle one to c&c.
The package is on its way in.
2
00:00:15,149 --> 00:00:16,482
C&C:
Confirmed, shuttle one.
3
00:00:36,270 --> 00:00:37,802
Hang on,
hang on.
4
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,239
Garibaldi:
Welcome home.
5
00:00:40,241 --> 00:00:42,374
Sheridan: Uh, this was
your idea, wasn't it?
6
00:00:42,376 --> 00:00:44,176
Well, we figured you'd
probably want to come back
7
00:00:44,178 --> 00:00:45,844
with as little fanfare
as possible,
8
00:00:45,846 --> 00:00:47,879
your usual
low-key approach.
9
00:00:47,881 --> 00:00:49,814
But there's a time and
a place for everything.
10
00:00:49,816 --> 00:00:51,116
And this is the time,
11
00:00:51,118 --> 00:00:52,817
and this is definitely
the place
12
00:00:52,819 --> 00:00:54,886
for one hell of a party.
13
00:01:00,227 --> 00:01:01,226
Mr. President,
14
00:01:01,228 --> 00:01:03,228
we have a lot
to celebrate,
15
00:01:03,230 --> 00:01:04,530
including
and especially
16
00:01:04,532 --> 00:01:05,864
your marriage,
17
00:01:05,866 --> 00:01:08,700
and you two just
can't avoid it.
18
00:01:08,702 --> 00:01:09,834
If I could find
some way
19
00:01:09,836 --> 00:01:12,371
to pay you back
for this, I will.
20
00:01:12,373 --> 00:01:13,372
[Laughter]
21
00:01:13,374 --> 00:01:14,373
Thank you!
22
00:01:23,284 --> 00:01:26,385
So, doctor,
who died?
23
00:01:28,289 --> 00:01:29,555
What are you
talking about?
24
00:01:29,557 --> 00:01:30,755
Among my people,
25
00:01:30,757 --> 00:01:33,258
this is how we celebrate
state funerals.
26
00:01:33,260 --> 00:01:35,760
Our marriage ceremonies
are solemn, sober...
27
00:01:35,762 --> 00:01:38,130
Moments of reflection--
28
00:01:38,132 --> 00:01:41,600
also regret,
disagreement, argument,
29
00:01:41,602 --> 00:01:43,435
and mutual recrimination.
30
00:01:43,437 --> 00:01:45,804
Once you know that
it cannot get any worse,
31
00:01:45,806 --> 00:01:47,706
you can relax
and enjoy the marriage.
32
00:01:47,708 --> 00:01:50,742
But to start with
something like this...
33
00:01:50,744 --> 00:01:53,378
No, it is a very bad sign
for the future.
34
00:01:57,084 --> 00:01:58,150
[Chuckles]
35
00:02:01,622 --> 00:02:04,789
Perhaps it was
something I said.
36
00:02:04,791 --> 00:02:07,058
Perhaps it is
everything you say.
37
00:02:14,368 --> 00:02:17,436
I knew we should have
gone to Minbar first.
38
00:02:17,438 --> 00:02:20,539
[Sighs] Well, I suppose
we can't blame them.
39
00:02:20,541 --> 00:02:22,974
I mean, Clark's gone,
Earth and Mars are free,
40
00:02:22,976 --> 00:02:24,943
they want to celebrate.
41
00:02:24,945 --> 00:02:27,446
I guess they see us
as a symbol of that.
42
00:02:27,448 --> 00:02:29,748
They should be applauding
themselves, not us.
43
00:02:29,750 --> 00:02:31,816
We did it together.
44
00:02:31,818 --> 00:02:34,419
There's something
immodest about all this.
45
00:02:34,421 --> 00:02:36,288
Oh, I wouldn't
worry about it.
46
00:02:36,290 --> 00:02:40,292
What matters is what
we did here together.
47
00:02:40,294 --> 00:02:41,393
In a hundred years,
48
00:02:41,395 --> 00:02:43,228
it won't matter
who we were.
49
00:02:43,230 --> 00:02:45,164
They probably
won't even remember.
50
00:02:45,166 --> 00:02:46,632
That's true.
51
00:02:46,634 --> 00:02:48,233

And the year

78

It was a new age.

87
00:05:23,523 --> 00:05:24,822
Good evening.
88
00:05:24,824 --> 00:05:26,224
By any definition,
89
00:05:26,226 --> 00:05:27,692
the events of
the last few weeks
90
00:05:27,694 --> 00:05:29,394
have been among
the most remarkable
91
00:05:29,396 --> 00:05:30,762
in recent memory.
92
00:05:30,764 --> 00:05:32,430
The end of a civil war
93
00:05:32,432 --> 00:05:35,199
that split Earthforce
squarely down the middle,
94
00:05:35,201 --> 00:05:38,236
the death of President
William Morgan Clark,
95
00:05:38,238 --> 00:05:40,572
the birth of
an independent Mars,
96
00:05:40,574 --> 00:05:44,576
and the creation of a new
interstellar alliance.
97
00:05:44,578 --> 00:05:49,180
It can be more than
a little overwhelming.
98
00:05:49,182 --> 00:05:51,549
However, there's a word
in the old testament
99
00:05:51,551 --> 00:05:56,521
used to call for silence
between passages: Selah.
100
00:05:56,523 --> 00:05:59,658
It means,
"pause and consider."
101
00:05:59,660 --> 00:06:01,426
So tonight,
starting with a report
102
00:06:01,428 --> 00:06:04,162
from special correspondent
Jim Bitterbane,
103
00:06:04,164 --> 00:06:05,863
and a word or 10
104
00:06:05,865 --> 00:06:07,865
from our usual
panel of experts,
105
00:06:07,867 --> 00:06:09,367
we've set aside
a few moments
106
00:06:09,369 --> 00:06:14,506
to reflect, discuss,
pause, and consider.
107
00:06:14,508 --> 00:06:16,107
Selah.
108
00:06:16,109 --> 00:06:18,142
Greatness is a quality
that is often sought
109
00:06:18,144 --> 00:06:21,279
by those who want it most,
but are the least worthy.
110
00:06:21,281 --> 00:06:22,980
Correspondingly, greatness
111
00:06:22,982 --> 00:06:25,082
is sometimes thrust upon
those who want it least,
112
00:06:25,084 --> 00:06:26,884
but are the most deserving.
113
00:06:26,886 --> 00:06:27,985
These words would seem
114
00:06:27,987 --> 00:06:29,954
to best describe
Captain John j. Sheridan,
115
00:06:29,956 --> 00:06:31,723
both in the way
he came into the world,
116
00:06:31,725 --> 00:06:33,991
and as the position
that he currently occupies
117
00:06:33,993 --> 00:06:37,729
as that of the President of
the new interstellar alliance.
118
00:06:37,731 --> 00:06:39,864
The only son of
a career diplomat,
119
00:06:39,866 --> 00:06:42,667
Sheridan was an average
but enthusiastic student.
120
00:06:42,669 --> 00:06:44,769
He drifted in and out
of various hobbies,
121
00:06:44,771 --> 00:06:46,705
including a brief
but obsessive interest
122
00:06:46,707 --> 00:06:48,172
in the works
of the Dalai Lama,
123
00:06:48,174 --> 00:06:51,376
before entering Earthforce
shortly after the Dilgar war.
124
00:06:51,378 --> 00:06:53,911
He served with distinction
during the Minbari war
125
00:06:53,913 --> 00:06:56,147
and the food riots on Mars.
126
00:06:56,149 --> 00:06:59,851
Quite a change from those
early, unremarkable years,
127
00:06:59,853 --> 00:07:02,286
and the man who came to Earth
leading a fleet
128
00:07:02,288 --> 00:07:04,422
and carrying an ultimatum.
129
00:07:04,424 --> 00:07:07,325
But now, an even greater
challenge stands before him.
130
00:07:07,327 --> 00:07:11,028
Can he hold together
this newborn alliance
131
00:07:11,030 --> 00:07:14,499
of competing,
even mutually hostile races?
132
00:07:14,501 --> 00:07:15,500
Derek?
133
00:07:15,502 --> 00:07:16,868
Thank you, Jim.
134
00:07:16,870 --> 00:07:18,870
We'll now turn
to our panel of experts
135
00:07:18,872 --> 00:07:20,572
for their thoughts.
136
00:07:20,574 --> 00:07:22,206
From Earthdome,
137
00:07:22,208 --> 00:07:24,576
senator Elizabeth Metarie.
138
00:07:24,578 --> 00:07:28,513
From Mars, author
and journalist Leif Tanner.
139
00:07:28,515 --> 00:07:30,915
And from Paris, Henry Ellis,
140
00:07:30,917 --> 00:07:33,752
former speech writer
and political commentator.
141
00:07:33,754 --> 00:07:35,487
Gentlemen, senator,
welcome.
142
00:07:35,489 --> 00:07:36,654
Guests: Thank you, Derek.
143
00:07:36,656 --> 00:07:37,756
I don't know
which of you
144
00:07:37,758 --> 00:07:39,223
wants to be first
out of the gate on this--
145
00:07:39,225 --> 00:07:40,592
I'd like to jump
in here, Derek.
146
00:07:40,594 --> 00:07:41,593
All right.
147
00:07:41,595 --> 00:07:43,428
What amazes me
is the way
148
00:07:43,430 --> 00:07:45,563
that everyone has tried
to turn Sheridan
149
00:07:45,565 --> 00:07:47,665
into some kind of hero.
150
00:07:47,667 --> 00:07:49,166
This is the man
151
00:07:49,168 --> 00:07:50,802
who resigned his
commission in Earthforce
152
00:07:50,804 --> 00:07:52,203
under
dubious circumstances--
153
00:07:52,205 --> 00:07:55,006
the President cleared him
and his crew, Henry,
154
00:07:55,008 --> 00:07:57,041
and she called him
the hero of the hour.
155
00:07:57,043 --> 00:07:58,576
Ellis: Yes, she did.
156
00:07:58,578 --> 00:08:00,244
And she's going to
have to answer for that
157
00:08:00,246 --> 00:08:01,546
in the next election.
158
00:08:01,548 --> 00:08:03,681
But that's
besides the point.
159
00:08:03,683 --> 00:08:06,451
Now there was obviously
some sort of deal made,
160
00:08:06,453 --> 00:08:07,619
which is how
he got out of there
161
00:08:07,621 --> 00:08:09,353
with his hide
in one piece.
162
00:08:09,355 --> 00:08:12,156
Call me old-fashioned,
but that doesn't sound
163
00:08:12,158 --> 00:08:13,758
like the best
qualification
164
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:14,992
to run a major alliance.
165
00:08:14,994 --> 00:08:17,796
Sounds to me like most of
the generals and politicians
166
00:08:17,798 --> 00:08:19,764
who have made history
in the last few hundred years.
167
00:08:19,766 --> 00:08:22,400
Oh, come on.
Let's look at the facts.
168
00:08:22,402 --> 00:08:24,969
The man isn't qualified
to run an operation
169
00:08:24,971 --> 00:08:27,439
as large as this
interstellar alliance.
170
00:08:27,441 --> 00:08:29,741
He could barely keep
Babylon 5 operational
171
00:08:29,743 --> 00:08:31,509
without shooting
at everything in sight.
172
00:08:31,511 --> 00:08:32,944
Tanner: Oh, that's
an exaggeration.
173
00:08:32,946 --> 00:08:35,112
He can barely get along
with his own race,
174
00:08:35,114 --> 00:08:36,848
and now he's going
to stitch together
175
00:08:36,850 --> 00:08:39,350
an alliance of radically
different aliens
176
00:08:39,352 --> 00:08:40,351
and make it work?
177
00:08:40,353 --> 00:08:41,453
No, this whole shebang
178
00:08:41,455 --> 00:08:42,620
is doomed
from the get-go.
179
00:08:42,622 --> 00:08:43,688
Tanner:
You're overreacting.
180
00:08:43,690 --> 00:08:44,823
Why not at least
let him try to prove
181
00:08:44,825 --> 00:08:46,491
if he can do it or not,
before you subject him--
182
00:08:46,493 --> 00:08:47,826
Ellis: With what's
at stake?
183
00:08:47,828 --> 00:08:49,193
Tanner:
I agree with the senator.
184
00:08:49,195 --> 00:08:51,262
Give Sheridan a break.
185
00:08:51,264 --> 00:08:53,297
To write him off
before he's even started...
186
00:08:53,299 --> 00:08:56,534
Well, that's irrational,
even for you, Henry.
187
00:08:56,536 --> 00:08:58,269
He fires
on his own ships
188
00:08:58,271 --> 00:09:00,004
and you're calling
me irrational?
189
00:09:00,006 --> 00:09:01,539
Come on, Leif.
190
00:09:01,541 --> 00:09:02,774
Tanner:
That's not fair--
191
00:09:02,776 --> 00:09:04,075
Mitchell:
I beg your pardon.
192
00:09:04,077 --> 00:09:06,410
Do you actually believe
the alliance will work?
193
00:09:06,412 --> 00:09:07,912
I don't know
if it will work,
194
00:09:07,914 --> 00:09:10,582
I'm just saying
that he deserves a chance
195
00:09:10,584 --> 00:09:11,916
to try and make it work.
196
00:09:11,918 --> 00:09:13,785
Metarie:
What I think is missing
197
00:09:13,787 --> 00:09:15,720
and being lost
in this whole discussion
198
00:09:15,722 --> 00:09:17,655
is that this is
an election year
199
00:09:17,657 --> 00:09:20,859
and that Mr. Ellis
was working as a speech writer
200
00:09:20,861 --> 00:09:21,993
in the Clark administration.
201
00:09:21,995 --> 00:09:24,529
And I think that he
and others of his party
202
00:09:24,531 --> 00:09:26,030
consider Sheridan
a real threat
203
00:09:26,032 --> 00:09:28,232
to their hopes
for a majority in the senate,
204
00:09:28,234 --> 00:09:30,201
so they're doing
all that they can
205
00:09:30,203 --> 00:09:31,603
to discredit him
in advance.
206
00:09:31,605 --> 00:09:32,971
Ellis: That is
completely unfair.
207
00:09:32,973 --> 00:09:34,438
It is not unfair.
It's true, Henry.
208
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,941
I hate to interrupt you
at this point,
209
00:09:36,943 --> 00:09:38,543
but we're coming up
on a commercial break.
210
00:09:38,545 --> 00:09:39,878
So, why don't each of you
211
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,179
give me your calls
for the next couple of years
212
00:09:42,181 --> 00:09:43,581
on the following:
213
00:09:43,583 --> 00:09:45,617
Can Sheridan
and his people make a go
214
00:09:45,619 --> 00:09:46,618
of this new alliance?
215
00:09:46,620 --> 00:09:48,085
Tanner:
Absolutely.
216
00:09:48,087 --> 00:09:49,888
Do you think they'll make
any difference whatever?
217
00:09:49,890 --> 00:09:51,389
And what do you consider
218
00:09:51,391 --> 00:09:53,725
to be the number-one problem
waiting for them?
219
00:09:53,727 --> 00:09:55,693
[All speaking at once]
220
00:09:55,695 --> 00:09:57,261
Ah-ah. Mr. Tanner.
221
00:09:57,263 --> 00:09:59,998
From where I sit, they've
already made a difference.
222
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,666
The senate
has been debating
223
00:10:01,668 --> 00:10:03,635
what to do about Mars
for years
224
00:10:03,637 --> 00:10:04,836
and did nothing.
225
00:10:04,838 --> 00:10:08,740
It took Sheridan to
push them into recognizing
226
00:10:08,742 --> 00:10:11,275
our sovereign rights
of independence.
227
00:10:11,277 --> 00:10:12,977
Ellis: At gunpoint.
228
00:10:12,979 --> 00:10:14,311
Senator?
229
00:10:14,313 --> 00:10:16,848
Obviously, there's
a degree of uncertainty
230
00:10:16,850 --> 00:10:19,083
in any new
political situation.
231
00:10:19,085 --> 00:10:21,318
This next year
will prove critical
232
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:22,987
for Sheridan and the rest
of his people.
233
00:10:22,989 --> 00:10:24,756
Look at what
they're up against.
234
00:10:24,758 --> 00:10:27,926
He has to ride herd
on a dozen or so alien races
235
00:10:27,928 --> 00:10:29,460
that've signed on
to this alliance
236
00:10:29,462 --> 00:10:31,696
and probably
don't fully understand
237
00:10:31,698 --> 00:10:33,130
what's being required
of them.
238
00:10:33,132 --> 00:10:34,465
There's still
sporadic fighting
239
00:10:34,467 --> 00:10:36,601
between many
of those members.
240
00:10:36,603 --> 00:10:39,037
On top of that,
he has supply problems,
241
00:10:39,039 --> 00:10:41,238
telepath problems,
raiding parties,
242
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,975
not to mention distrust
among elements
243
00:10:43,977 --> 00:10:45,577
of his own government
here at home.
244
00:10:45,579 --> 00:10:47,344
This man has his work
cut out for him,
245
00:10:47,346 --> 00:10:49,681
but I know
that he can handle it.
246
00:10:49,683 --> 00:10:52,584
Mr. Ellis, last words.
247
00:10:52,586 --> 00:10:55,086
Whatever Sheridan
and Delenn say
248
00:10:55,088 --> 00:10:57,455
about this
economic alliance,
249
00:10:57,457 --> 00:10:59,390
he's going to
have to apply
250
00:10:59,392 --> 00:11:00,558
military force
to make it work.
251
00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:01,559
Mitchell:
Why do you--?
252
00:11:01,561 --> 00:11:02,560
He has to apply
military pressure--
253
00:11:02,562 --> 00:11:03,561
let me finish.
254
00:11:03,563 --> 00:11:04,562
I didn't interrupt
you people
255
00:11:04,564 --> 00:11:05,830
when you
were talking.
256
00:11:05,832 --> 00:11:06,965
Now,
when this happens,
257
00:11:06,967 --> 00:11:08,566
it's all gonna
fall apart.
258
00:11:08,568 --> 00:11:10,602
He's power hungry,
and he's unprepared,
259
00:11:10,604 --> 00:11:13,071
and that is
a dangerous combination.
260
00:11:13,073 --> 00:11:15,073
Tanner: Dangerous combination!
That's what leaders--
261
00:11:15,075 --> 00:11:17,174
thank you.
Thank you very much.
262
00:11:17,176 --> 00:11:19,343
We'll be back
in just a moment
263
00:11:19,345 --> 00:11:21,245
to consider
the political implications
264
00:11:21,247 --> 00:11:23,047
of this new
interstellar alliance,
265
00:11:23,049 --> 00:11:25,283
and the recent calls
for the formation
266
00:11:25,285 --> 00:11:27,852
of independent
political parties on Mars--
267
00:11:29,923 --> 00:11:31,422
computer:
Auto-play feature engaged.
268
00:11:33,426 --> 00:11:36,593
Date: 100 years
from first time period.
269
00:11:36,595 --> 00:11:37,594
Stand by.
270
00:11:48,975 --> 00:11:50,975
Announcer: ...With another
in our series
271
00:11:50,977 --> 00:11:52,610
of educational
stellarcasts
272
00:11:52,612 --> 00:11:54,378
on the 100th anniversary
273
00:11:54,380 --> 00:11:56,413
of the interstellar
alliance.
274
00:11:56,415 --> 00:11:59,116
Taking part in today's
discussion from Earthdome:
275
00:11:59,118 --> 00:12:02,653
Historian Dr. Jim latimere
from the university of York;
276
00:12:02,655 --> 00:12:05,255
political scientist
Dr. Barbara Tashaki,
277
00:12:05,257 --> 00:12:07,391
university of Japan
at Tokyo;
278
00:12:07,393 --> 00:12:11,295
and psychologist
Dr. William Exeter from nyu.
279
00:12:11,297 --> 00:12:12,630
Dr. Latimere:
Good morning.
280
00:12:12,632 --> 00:12:14,866
We seem to have roughly
1/2 million students and faculty
281
00:12:14,868 --> 00:12:16,400
on-line today,
waiting with questions,
282
00:12:16,402 --> 00:12:18,268
which is a little more
than we expected,
283
00:12:18,270 --> 00:12:21,271
so if the system runs
a little slow, bear with us.
284
00:12:21,273 --> 00:12:22,740
Our first question,
285
00:12:22,742 --> 00:12:25,576
from ray Winston,
university of Kiev.
286
00:12:25,578 --> 00:12:28,379
"What role do you feel
the Babylon station played
287
00:12:28,381 --> 00:12:29,981
in the creation of
the hundred-year peace?"
288
00:12:29,983 --> 00:12:31,716
Well, the station,
none at all.
289
00:12:31,718 --> 00:12:33,384
It's a place--
was a place--
290
00:12:33,386 --> 00:12:34,719
that served as a nexus
for others.
291
00:12:34,721 --> 00:12:35,720
I agree.
292
00:12:35,722 --> 00:12:36,721
Latimere:
A nexus how?
293
00:12:36,723 --> 00:12:37,722
Well, the first thing
you have to do
294
00:12:37,724 --> 00:12:39,690
is separate fantasy
from reality.
295
00:12:39,692 --> 00:12:41,458
The publicity machine
for the alliance
296
00:12:41,460 --> 00:12:43,360
would have you believe
that somehow all this
297
00:12:43,362 --> 00:12:45,462
came about because of
what a few people did.
298
00:12:45,464 --> 00:12:47,064
But large
political movements
299
00:12:47,066 --> 00:12:49,767
are rarely the work
of any one person.
300
00:12:49,769 --> 00:12:50,768
The individual
at the center
301
00:12:50,770 --> 00:12:52,169
gives permission
for others to act,
302
00:12:52,171 --> 00:12:54,572
can inspire others,
but the individual
303
00:12:54,574 --> 00:12:55,873
really cannot
effect change
304
00:12:55,875 --> 00:12:56,874
as an act of will.
305
00:12:56,876 --> 00:12:58,543
They did not do,
306
00:12:58,545 --> 00:13:00,011
they allowed others
to do.
307
00:13:00,013 --> 00:13:01,512
By "they" you mean
Sheridan and Delenn?
308
00:13:01,514 --> 00:13:03,614
We all have a profound
psychological need
309
00:13:03,616 --> 00:13:04,815
to believe in heroes.
310
00:13:04,817 --> 00:13:06,383
The shining knight
on a white horse.
311
00:13:06,385 --> 00:13:08,385
If they don't exist,
we create them.
312
00:13:08,387 --> 00:13:11,188
Sheridan and Delenn
are 2 classic examples.
313
00:13:11,190 --> 00:13:13,390
If you look at the
social dynamic around them,
314
00:13:13,392 --> 00:13:14,859
they actually
didn't do anything.
315
00:13:14,861 --> 00:13:16,961
They were the open vessels
316
00:13:16,963 --> 00:13:18,395
in which people
poured their hopes
317
00:13:18,397 --> 00:13:19,396
and their dreams.
318
00:13:19,398 --> 00:13:21,532
That sets up
sort of a gestalt
319
00:13:21,534 --> 00:13:23,701
where events take on
a life of their own.
320
00:13:23,703 --> 00:13:26,103
So you think the record
of their accomplishments
321
00:13:26,105 --> 00:13:27,104
is overrated?
322
00:13:27,106 --> 00:13:29,406
Absolutely.
Good PR, as Tashaki said.
323
00:13:29,408 --> 00:13:31,175
In a lot of ways,
they blew it.
324
00:13:31,177 --> 00:13:32,810
It was only
the force of history
325
00:13:32,812 --> 00:13:34,745
that saved the situation
from collapsing
326
00:13:34,747 --> 00:13:36,581
of its own weight after
so many people died
327
00:13:36,583 --> 00:13:37,748
in its first year
of operation.
328
00:13:37,750 --> 00:13:39,650
And the incident
concerning their son--
329
00:13:39,652 --> 00:13:40,885
I don't want to
get off the track
330
00:13:40,887 --> 00:13:41,919
and into associated
biography,
331
00:13:41,921 --> 00:13:44,121
so, let's move on
to the next question:
332
00:13:44,123 --> 00:13:45,590
[Console beeps]
333
00:13:45,592 --> 00:13:46,958
"If your assumption
is correct,
334
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,794
where did Sheridan and Delenn
and those involved go wrong?"
335
00:13:49,796 --> 00:13:52,296
Where do you start?
I started to say,
336
00:13:52,298 --> 00:13:53,598
so many people died
in the year
337
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,032
after Sheridan
and Delenn returned
338
00:13:55,034 --> 00:13:56,400
to Babylon 5.
339
00:13:56,402 --> 00:13:57,969
Well, you can't lay the blame
for all that at their feet.
340
00:13:57,971 --> 00:13:59,169
Of course you can.
341
00:13:59,171 --> 00:14:00,805
As one example,
they had no business
342
00:14:00,807 --> 00:14:03,507
creating a colony
of telepaths on Babylon 5.
343
00:14:03,509 --> 00:14:04,842
He as much as said later
344
00:14:04,844 --> 00:14:06,410
it was the worst mistake
of his career.
345
00:14:06,412 --> 00:14:08,245
He thought they could
control the telepaths,
346
00:14:08,247 --> 00:14:10,314
when any fool knows
that's impossible.
347
00:14:10,316 --> 00:14:12,650
Sooner or later they were
bound to turn on Sheridan
348
00:14:12,652 --> 00:14:13,651
and everybody else.
349
00:14:13,653 --> 00:14:15,419
And that's exactly
what happened.
350
00:14:15,421 --> 00:14:17,154
I have to agree.
That one event
351
00:14:17,156 --> 00:14:18,656
may have done much
to precipitate
352
00:14:18,658 --> 00:14:20,124
the telepath war,
and--
353
00:14:20,126 --> 00:14:21,125
latimere: You can't
pick one incident
354
00:14:21,127 --> 00:14:22,359
and say that
was the cause--
355
00:14:22,361 --> 00:14:24,394
not the sole cause,
no, but it was
356
00:14:24,396 --> 00:14:25,596
a contributing
factor.
357
00:14:25,598 --> 00:14:26,931
[Sighs]
358
00:14:26,933 --> 00:14:28,099
I'd like to turn
our attention now
359
00:14:28,101 --> 00:14:29,166
to this
historical record.
360
00:14:29,168 --> 00:14:31,168
It's from later
in 2262,
361
00:14:31,170 --> 00:14:33,671
just after the creation
of the interstellar alliance.
362
00:14:33,673 --> 00:14:35,840
I'd like to get
your comments on it.
363
00:14:36,876 --> 00:14:38,609
You gotta listen to me.
364
00:14:38,611 --> 00:14:40,945
This isn't gonna work.
365
00:14:40,947 --> 00:14:42,579
If you give yourselves up,
we could go back,
366
00:14:42,581 --> 00:14:43,914
we could talk
to the others.
367
00:14:48,821 --> 00:14:51,188
You say you're doing this
for a cause.
368
00:14:51,190 --> 00:14:52,890
What kind of sympathy
are you gonna get
369
00:14:52,892 --> 00:14:55,459
by killing innocent people
in cold blood?
370
00:14:56,696 --> 00:14:57,695
You want to send
out a message,
371
00:14:57,697 --> 00:14:59,664
this ain't it.
372
00:14:59,666 --> 00:15:01,666
Look, I can work with you.
373
00:15:01,668 --> 00:15:03,034
I can get you out of this.
374
00:15:03,036 --> 00:15:06,070
But you've got
to work with me.
375
00:15:06,072 --> 00:15:07,304
What do you say?
376
00:15:11,177 --> 00:15:13,678
Oh, yeah.
377
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,413
That's what I thought
you were gonna say.
378
00:15:16,415 --> 00:15:18,683
This is
President Sheridan.
379
00:15:18,685 --> 00:15:20,651
I have consulted
with Captain Lochley,
380
00:15:20,653 --> 00:15:21,919
and we have reached
a decision
381
00:15:21,921 --> 00:15:24,789
regarding
the current situation.
382
00:15:24,791 --> 00:15:27,758
It is not the policy of
the interstellar alliance
383
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,393
or this station
384
00:15:29,395 --> 00:15:33,164
to bargain with terrorists
for the lives of hostages.
385
00:15:33,166 --> 00:15:34,732
If we open that door
even once,
386
00:15:34,734 --> 00:15:37,201
we will never be able
to close it again.
387
00:15:37,203 --> 00:15:39,369
Now you have 2 choices:
388
00:15:39,371 --> 00:15:41,338
Surrender,
389
00:15:41,340 --> 00:15:45,242
or we will use lethal force
to bring you down.
390
00:15:45,244 --> 00:15:47,377
You have 10 minutes!
391
00:15:50,049 --> 00:15:51,648
Swell.
392
00:15:53,419 --> 00:15:55,753
Oh, whoa.
Wait, look, we can--
393
00:15:55,755 --> 00:15:57,054
[gun fires]
394
00:15:57,056 --> 00:15:58,689
Comments?
395
00:15:58,691 --> 00:16:00,925
Well, I don't know what
more needs to be said.
396
00:16:00,927 --> 00:16:02,426
The pictures speak
for themselves.
397
00:16:02,428 --> 00:16:04,261
Sheridan was clearly
pathological.
398
00:16:04,263 --> 00:16:05,262
Latimere:
Well, to be fair,
399
00:16:05,264 --> 00:16:06,597
most governments
take that position.
400
00:16:06,599 --> 00:16:07,932
I'm not debating that.
401
00:16:07,934 --> 00:16:09,266
But you can see it
in his attitude,
402
00:16:09,268 --> 00:16:10,768
the way he addresses
the terrorists.
403
00:16:10,770 --> 00:16:13,437
That coldness is emblematic
of his personality.
404
00:16:13,439 --> 00:16:15,439
He was power-hungry,
it's as simple as that.
405
00:16:15,441 --> 00:16:17,541
And he never let
anything get in his way.
406
00:16:17,543 --> 00:16:19,376
Dr. Tashaki?
407
00:16:19,378 --> 00:16:21,445
A truly pathological
individual
408
00:16:21,447 --> 00:16:22,613
could never
have constructed
409
00:16:22,615 --> 00:16:23,614
a mythos
around himself
410
00:16:23,616 --> 00:16:24,949
the way
Sheridan did.
411
00:16:24,951 --> 00:16:26,383
It's a very
sophisticated
412
00:16:26,385 --> 00:16:28,886
PR campaign,
brilliantly done.
413
00:16:28,888 --> 00:16:29,887
And then there's
that bit
414
00:16:29,889 --> 00:16:31,122
about the way
his death was handled.
415
00:16:31,124 --> 00:16:32,623
Exactly.
Everyone knows
416
00:16:32,625 --> 00:16:34,125
Sheridan died
on Minbar.
417
00:16:34,127 --> 00:16:35,459
The cover story
they put out
418
00:16:35,461 --> 00:16:36,526
was clearly designed
419
00:16:36,528 --> 00:16:38,629
to perpetuate the myth
of his character.
420
00:16:38,631 --> 00:16:40,798
And I guess it worked,
'cause a lot of people
421
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,967
still believe it
80 years later.
422
00:16:42,969 --> 00:16:46,570
So...where do the two of you
fall on the Delenn question?
423
00:16:46,572 --> 00:16:49,306
Well, everyone knows
Minbari live a long time,
424
00:16:49,308 --> 00:16:50,641
but not that long.
425
00:16:50,643 --> 00:16:52,643
I think the record
is 120 years.
426
00:16:52,645 --> 00:16:54,311
140? Forget it.
427
00:16:54,313 --> 00:16:55,712
No, this is just
what Dr. Tashaki
428
00:16:55,714 --> 00:16:56,713
was talking about earlier.
429
00:16:56,715 --> 00:16:58,749
This constant perpetuation
of fantasy.
430
00:16:58,751 --> 00:17:01,618
The idea that Delenn is
still around after this long
431
00:17:01,620 --> 00:17:02,920
and living in seclusion,
432
00:17:02,922 --> 00:17:04,588
so, of course,
no one can see her--
433
00:17:04,590 --> 00:17:06,090
it's very convenient.
434
00:17:06,092 --> 00:17:08,125
The alliance is
continuing the illusion
435
00:17:08,127 --> 00:17:10,427
that Delenn is alive
for their own purposes.
436
00:17:10,429 --> 00:17:12,429
Frankly, I don't think
she would have approved.
437
00:17:12,431 --> 00:17:13,530
Apparently,
they feel they have
438
00:17:13,532 --> 00:17:14,531
to maintain
this fiction
439
00:17:14,533 --> 00:17:16,267
in order to keep
their people in line.
440
00:17:16,269 --> 00:17:17,868
But if the alliance
and the Rangers
441
00:17:17,870 --> 00:17:18,903
are as strong
as they say,
442
00:17:18,905 --> 00:17:20,905
they don't need
the security blanket
443
00:17:20,907 --> 00:17:22,106
of lies and myth.
444
00:17:22,108 --> 00:17:23,107
Looking back,
445
00:17:23,109 --> 00:17:25,943
has the alliance been
a force for good?
446
00:17:25,945 --> 00:17:28,112
Well, for the most part, yes.
447
00:17:28,114 --> 00:17:30,948
Although good things can grow
in questionable ground.
448
00:17:30,950 --> 00:17:33,050
I think it's clear
that the motives of those
449
00:17:33,052 --> 00:17:34,952
at the birth of the alliance
were not as pure
450
00:17:34,954 --> 00:17:37,554
as their biographers
and allies would suggest.
451
00:17:37,556 --> 00:17:40,524
The force of history is
what moves us forward:
452
00:17:40,526 --> 00:17:42,626
Our common
shared destiny.
453
00:17:42,628 --> 00:17:44,962
The individual does not
move society forward.
454
00:17:44,964 --> 00:17:46,596
To give them
undue credit
455
00:17:46,598 --> 00:17:48,465
is immodest
and impertinent.
456
00:17:48,467 --> 00:17:50,301
Sheridan was
a megalomaniac,
457
00:17:50,303 --> 00:17:51,802
and to allow
history to feed
458
00:17:51,804 --> 00:17:53,804
that megalomania,
even posthumously,
459
00:17:53,806 --> 00:17:55,472
simply compounds
the error.
460
00:17:55,474 --> 00:17:57,808
We have an obligation
as academics
461
00:17:57,810 --> 00:17:59,143
to uphold
certain standards--
462
00:17:59,145 --> 00:18:01,645
[alarm beeping]
463
00:18:01,647 --> 00:18:03,914
I've just heard we've
had a security breach
464
00:18:03,916 --> 00:18:05,983
in the building.
We're going to--
465
00:18:20,166 --> 00:18:21,498
Latimere: Delenn?
466
00:18:23,169 --> 00:18:25,169
[Weakly]
John Sheridan...
467
00:18:27,506 --> 00:18:30,007
Was a good...
468
00:18:30,009 --> 00:18:32,676
And kind...
469
00:18:32,678 --> 00:18:34,345
And decent man.
470
00:18:39,352 --> 00:18:41,618
Delenn, wait. Uh...
471
00:18:41,620 --> 00:18:45,956
You came all this way
just to say that?
472
00:18:47,860 --> 00:18:49,193
You came...
473
00:18:49,195 --> 00:18:51,195
Just as far...
474
00:18:51,197 --> 00:18:53,197
To say less.
475
00:18:53,199 --> 00:18:55,399
But this is
extraordinary.
476
00:18:55,401 --> 00:18:57,701
There's so much more
we'd like to ask you.
477
00:18:57,703 --> 00:18:59,669
So much more
we'd like to know.
478
00:18:59,671 --> 00:19:04,275
You do not wish to know...
Anything.
479
00:19:06,779 --> 00:19:09,780
You wish...
480
00:19:09,782 --> 00:19:11,782
Only to speak.
481
00:19:14,620 --> 00:19:18,622
That which you know...
482
00:19:18,624 --> 00:19:25,129
You ignore because
it is inconvenient.
483
00:19:27,133 --> 00:19:31,635
That which you do not know...
484
00:19:31,637 --> 00:19:33,137
You invent!
485
00:19:36,475 --> 00:19:39,243
But none of that matters.
486
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,316
Except that he was...
487
00:19:45,318 --> 00:19:47,151
A good man.
488
00:19:49,322 --> 00:19:52,990
A kind man...
489
00:19:52,992 --> 00:19:57,661
Who cared about the world...
490
00:19:57,663 --> 00:20:02,666
Even when the world
cared nothing for him.
491
00:20:12,011 --> 00:20:14,078
Well, of course
we would expect you
492
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:15,879
to say that. We--
493
00:20:27,526 --> 00:20:28,692
Good-bye.
494
00:20:53,052 --> 00:20:55,052
Computer:

496
00:20:59,725 --> 00:21:00,724
Stand by.

Continue holographic recording

Virtual environment
functioning,
504
00:21:35,494 --> 00:21:39,997
identical to Babylon 5
system records from 2262.
505
00:21:39,999 --> 00:21:42,499
Data transfer of records
is complete, successful,
506
00:21:42,501 --> 00:21:45,836
in spite of extreme age
of original files
507
00:21:45,838 --> 00:21:49,006
and destruction of original
Babylon 5 station
508
00:21:49,008 --> 00:21:52,009
480 years ago.
509
00:21:52,011 --> 00:21:55,846
To recap
for politdivision central:
510
00:21:55,848 --> 00:21:58,515
The purpose
of this simulation
511
00:21:58,517 --> 00:22:00,517
is to provide
reverse-correct infospeak
512
00:22:00,519 --> 00:22:04,288
as support for current
changes in Earth policy.
513
00:22:04,290 --> 00:22:06,223
It is the new policy that
514
00:22:06,225 --> 00:22:08,359
the interstellar alliance
is restrictive
515
00:22:08,361 --> 00:22:11,695
and against the best
interests of Earth.
516
00:22:11,697 --> 00:22:15,165
Intent is to deconstruct
historical figures revered
517
00:22:15,167 --> 00:22:16,533
by prole sector,
518
00:22:16,535 --> 00:22:20,371
thereby legitimizing
current government policies.
519
00:22:22,441 --> 00:22:26,042
Initiating phase 2
of re-creation.
520
00:22:28,046 --> 00:22:30,514
To determine if the
psychohistorical research
521
00:22:30,516 --> 00:22:31,882
has been sufficiently
thorough,
522
00:22:31,884 --> 00:22:34,050
phase 2 will begin with
the control holograms
523
00:22:34,052 --> 00:22:36,153
working with the actual
psychological makeups
524
00:22:36,155 --> 00:22:37,721
of the subjects in question.
525
00:22:39,892 --> 00:22:41,958
The holograms
will thus perform
526
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,061
in a fashion consistent
with real fact.
527
00:22:45,063 --> 00:22:47,564
Program starts...Now.
528
00:22:48,734 --> 00:22:49,833
Do you know where you are?
529
00:22:51,404 --> 00:22:53,804
Babylon 5. The...
The conference room,
530
00:22:53,806 --> 00:22:55,071
level blue 3.
531
00:22:55,073 --> 00:22:56,674
And what year is it?
532
00:22:56,676 --> 00:22:58,942
2262.
533
00:22:58,944 --> 00:23:01,077
Daniel:
Very good.
534
00:23:01,079 --> 00:23:03,113
The next step
is to determine
535
00:23:03,115 --> 00:23:05,349
how well the system
can be modified.
536
00:23:05,351 --> 00:23:06,417
Computer.
537
00:23:06,419 --> 00:23:08,952
Update system files
for holographic figures,
538
00:23:08,954 --> 00:23:12,923
filling in period
from 2262 through 2762.
539
00:23:12,925 --> 00:23:13,924
Computer: Stand by.
540
00:23:13,926 --> 00:23:16,360
The system is
now updating
541
00:23:16,362 --> 00:23:17,761
the holographic
representations
542
00:23:17,763 --> 00:23:19,763
with our current
political situation
543
00:23:19,765 --> 00:23:21,699
and the developments
leading up to them.
544
00:23:21,701 --> 00:23:25,101
This will demonstrate
system flexibility
545
00:23:25,103 --> 00:23:26,970
and capacity
to spontaneously emote
546
00:23:26,972 --> 00:23:28,739
to changes
in programming.
547
00:23:28,741 --> 00:23:30,641
Download complete.
548
00:23:31,977 --> 00:23:33,210
Well...
549
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,480
500 years?
550
00:23:36,482 --> 00:23:37,948
Are we...?
551
00:23:37,950 --> 00:23:40,984
Yes. You--
the real you--
552
00:23:40,986 --> 00:23:42,319
are deceased.
553
00:23:42,321 --> 00:23:45,121
We have reconstructed
your thought patterns
554
00:23:45,123 --> 00:23:46,623
and your forms
for purposes
555
00:23:46,625 --> 00:23:48,525
of a series of vids
designed to help--
556
00:23:48,527 --> 00:23:50,994
designed as propaganda
to justify your break
557
00:23:50,996 --> 00:23:52,696
from the interstellar
alliance.
558
00:23:55,835 --> 00:23:57,334
Not propaganda.
559
00:23:57,336 --> 00:23:58,502
Goodfacts...
560
00:23:58,504 --> 00:24:00,838
As opposed to realfacts.
561
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,306
Facts the government
has endorsed.
562
00:24:03,308 --> 00:24:06,209
I don't get it.
Why are you doing this?
563
00:24:06,211 --> 00:24:07,644
Why the break
with the alliance?
564
00:24:07,646 --> 00:24:12,416
500 years of working
with the alliance
565
00:24:12,418 --> 00:24:14,418
has weakened
the position of humans
566
00:24:14,420 --> 00:24:15,419
in the greater
scheme of things.
567
00:24:15,421 --> 00:24:18,088
We have lost
our uniqueness.
568
00:24:18,090 --> 00:24:22,393
We have been polluted
by too many outside ideas.
569
00:24:23,763 --> 00:24:25,095
That's a great story.
570
00:24:25,097 --> 00:24:27,431
I'm sure that's the one
you're putting out.
571
00:24:27,433 --> 00:24:29,933
What's the real one?
572
00:24:29,935 --> 00:24:31,935
The realfact,
not the goodfact.
573
00:24:31,937 --> 00:24:34,671
Earth needs room
to expand.
574
00:24:34,673 --> 00:24:36,306
The Rangers
and the alliance
575
00:24:36,308 --> 00:24:38,942
prove a hindrance
to our plans to expand.
576
00:24:40,279 --> 00:24:41,912
Can't you see?
577
00:24:45,117 --> 00:24:46,617
They've re-created us
578
00:24:46,619 --> 00:24:48,452
so they can provide
false records
579
00:24:48,454 --> 00:24:51,955
and portray us to be--
what? The bad guys?
580
00:24:51,957 --> 00:24:54,190
Only out for interests
of our own?
581
00:24:54,192 --> 00:24:56,059
They want to undermine
the alliance
582
00:24:56,061 --> 00:24:58,662
by attacking the people
who created it.
583
00:24:58,664 --> 00:24:59,897
Looks like--
584
00:24:59,899 --> 00:25:01,064
just a second.
585
00:25:03,903 --> 00:25:06,069
I'm remembering things
I never saw.
586
00:25:06,071 --> 00:25:08,572
Those are the records
they downloaded to us.
587
00:25:08,574 --> 00:25:10,407
There's another force
out there.
588
00:25:10,409 --> 00:25:12,910
Earthgov is split,
589
00:25:12,912 --> 00:25:17,414
the 2 sides are fighting
each other over...
590
00:25:17,416 --> 00:25:19,917
Land and resources,
power.
591
00:25:21,921 --> 00:25:25,322
We're on the cusp
of another civil war.
592
00:25:25,324 --> 00:25:27,758
You know, he's right.
593
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,426
I'm getting it, too.
594
00:25:33,031 --> 00:25:36,533
That's the reason for
the planned invasion, isn't it?
595
00:25:37,937 --> 00:25:40,103
They want to take over
several colony worlds
596
00:25:40,105 --> 00:25:41,438
that have gone over
to the opposition,
597
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,740
which is still loyal
to the alliance.
598
00:25:43,742 --> 00:25:47,544
Daniel: Your legacy has proven
a hindrance to that intention.
599
00:25:47,546 --> 00:25:49,713
Therefore you must be...
600
00:25:49,715 --> 00:25:51,615
Deconstructed.
601
00:25:51,617 --> 00:25:53,951
Initiating phase 3.
602
00:25:56,722 --> 00:25:59,055
Goodfact scenario
ready for testing.
603
00:25:59,057 --> 00:26:00,390
Look, if you think
this is going to work--
604
00:26:00,392 --> 00:26:02,893
engaging reprogram.
605
00:26:02,895 --> 00:26:04,227
You may proceed.
606
00:26:08,901 --> 00:26:10,901
Welcome to Babylon 5.
607
00:26:12,237 --> 00:26:15,739
I understand that you
surrendered to our forces
608
00:26:15,741 --> 00:26:18,241
in the hopes
of finding mercy.
609
00:26:20,245 --> 00:26:22,078
The interstellar alliance
610
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,448
is not here to be merciful
to the weak.
611
00:26:26,919 --> 00:26:29,920
In all the universe
there are only 2 kinds:
612
00:26:29,922 --> 00:26:31,922
The conquerors...
613
00:26:31,924 --> 00:26:33,256
And the conquered.
614
00:26:34,493 --> 00:26:35,926
Through your blood
615
00:26:35,928 --> 00:26:37,594
and the blood
of your children,
616
00:26:37,596 --> 00:26:40,597
we will Blaze a path
across the galaxy!
617
00:26:40,599 --> 00:26:42,566
What we cannot
take by force
618
00:26:42,568 --> 00:26:44,100
we will win...
619
00:26:44,102 --> 00:26:45,769
By subversion.
620
00:26:47,439 --> 00:26:50,273
And in the end,
we will bury you.
621
00:26:52,945 --> 00:26:54,945
Your lives
are not the first,
622
00:26:54,947 --> 00:26:56,446
and they will not be
the last.
623
00:26:56,448 --> 00:26:58,815
If a billion must die
624
00:26:58,817 --> 00:27:01,051
to ensure the continuance
of our empire,
625
00:27:01,053 --> 00:27:02,485
then so be it!
626
00:27:11,597 --> 00:27:13,564
You are only...
627
00:27:15,734 --> 00:27:16,900
A down payment.
628
00:27:19,438 --> 00:27:20,904
Stand ready!
629
00:27:24,743 --> 00:27:27,243
Aim!
630
00:27:27,245 --> 00:27:28,645
Fire!
631
00:27:28,647 --> 00:27:30,914
There must be something
we can do.
632
00:27:30,916 --> 00:27:32,415
How? We're dead.
633
00:27:32,417 --> 00:27:33,416
We're not even here.
634
00:27:33,418 --> 00:27:35,418
Just our memories,
our thought patterns.
635
00:27:35,420 --> 00:27:37,921
That must be
worth something.
636
00:27:37,923 --> 00:27:41,091
What we are is not
a matter of flesh,
637
00:27:41,093 --> 00:27:42,593
it's a matter of will.
638
00:27:42,595 --> 00:27:44,427
We know
their backgrounds, right?
639
00:27:44,429 --> 00:27:45,428
We know what
they're doing.
640
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:46,930
Why don't we just--
641
00:27:46,932 --> 00:27:48,431
Daniel: Phase 2.
642
00:27:48,433 --> 00:27:50,433
Instituting
Franklin reprogram.
643
00:27:50,435 --> 00:27:53,103
Placing Delenn module
in standby mode.
644
00:27:54,372 --> 00:27:55,872
Proceeding with
next simulation.
645
00:27:57,542 --> 00:28:00,677
Doctor's personal log.
May 3, 2262.
646
00:28:00,679 --> 00:28:03,379
We have secured
several test subjects
647
00:28:03,381 --> 00:28:05,381
for the next series
of experiments.
648
00:28:05,383 --> 00:28:07,084
We will now continue with
649
00:28:07,086 --> 00:28:09,419
the use of alien organs
in human bodies
650
00:28:09,421 --> 00:28:11,888
in an attempt to create
a genetic crossbreed
651
00:28:11,890 --> 00:28:14,057
that will be compliant
to the needs of the alliance.
652
00:28:14,059 --> 00:28:15,892
Later today
we will begin again
653
00:28:15,894 --> 00:28:17,560
with our experiments
on children.
654
00:28:17,562 --> 00:28:19,229
Now the problem
with the vivisection
655
00:28:19,231 --> 00:28:20,430
is that the younger children
656
00:28:20,432 --> 00:28:22,398
can only survive the initial
removal of organs
657
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:23,734
for a short period
of time.
658
00:28:23,736 --> 00:28:26,569
Now we hope that,
by increased use of drugs,
659
00:28:26,571 --> 00:28:28,905
we may find a way
to prolong their lives
660
00:28:28,907 --> 00:28:30,573
while we work.
661
00:28:33,578 --> 00:28:36,579
Very good.
Very good.
662
00:28:36,581 --> 00:28:38,015
Program hold while
I make notes on this
663
00:28:38,017 --> 00:28:39,415
for infospeak division.
664
00:28:42,087 --> 00:28:43,920
So...daniel, right?
665
00:28:43,922 --> 00:28:45,088
Dan. Danny.
666
00:28:45,090 --> 00:28:46,089
Can I call you Danny?
667
00:28:46,091 --> 00:28:47,524
Oh, right.
Sorry, I forgot.
668
00:28:47,526 --> 00:28:48,625
I'm just a hologram,
669
00:28:48,627 --> 00:28:50,260
and you're busy getting
ready to reprogram me.
670
00:28:50,262 --> 00:28:51,762
Didn't mean
to interrupt.
671
00:28:51,764 --> 00:28:53,429
No point in having
a conversation
672
00:28:53,431 --> 00:28:54,931
with someone that
doesn't really exist.
673
00:28:54,933 --> 00:28:56,099
I was just thinking,
674
00:28:56,101 --> 00:28:57,433
when you've got all
your pieces in place,
675
00:28:57,435 --> 00:28:58,434
you're probably
going to launch
676
00:28:58,436 --> 00:28:59,435
a preemptive strike
677
00:28:59,437 --> 00:29:00,436
against the enemy,
right?
678
00:29:00,438 --> 00:29:02,939
I mean,
it's what I would do.
679
00:29:02,941 --> 00:29:05,108
Computer, initiate
shutdown of Garibaldi.
680
00:29:05,110 --> 00:29:06,409
Whoa, whoa, wait.
681
00:29:06,411 --> 00:29:07,610
Just one second.
682
00:29:07,612 --> 00:29:09,112
Before you do that,
683
00:29:09,114 --> 00:29:11,447
I might have some useful
information for you.
684
00:29:11,449 --> 00:29:12,949
See, the thing is,
685
00:29:12,951 --> 00:29:15,118
me and Sheridan were close,
but I was the one
686
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,788
who did most of the strategic
planning during the war.
687
00:29:17,790 --> 00:29:19,122
A resource like that...
688
00:29:19,124 --> 00:29:21,291
You might not want
to wipe it out just yet.
689
00:29:21,293 --> 00:29:22,793
I could help you...
690
00:29:22,795 --> 00:29:25,461
Give you some tips
to pass along to the big boys
691
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:27,964
and maybe...
Get you a promotion.
692
00:29:33,238 --> 00:29:34,304
Go on.
693
00:29:34,306 --> 00:29:35,806
Well, before I can help,
694
00:29:35,808 --> 00:29:37,974
I have to ask just
a few small questions.
695
00:29:37,976 --> 00:29:40,476
Now you're a realfact
kind of guy.
696
00:29:40,478 --> 00:29:42,445
You know what they're up to
out there, don't you?
697
00:29:42,447 --> 00:29:44,748
Come on. You can tell me.
Am I right?
698
00:29:46,651 --> 00:29:49,052
Ah, your boys are planning
a first strike
699
00:29:49,054 --> 00:29:50,821
against the enemy,
aren't they?
700
00:29:50,823 --> 00:29:52,355
That's why you're
rushing ahead like this,
701
00:29:52,357 --> 00:29:53,389
because you're
under the gun.
702
00:29:55,493 --> 00:29:58,161
We will strike at
the outer world colonies
703
00:29:58,163 --> 00:29:59,830
and the enemy nations
here on Earth
704
00:29:59,832 --> 00:30:01,164
at the same time.
705
00:30:01,166 --> 00:30:02,265
Our attack fleet
will be leaving
706
00:30:02,267 --> 00:30:03,266
within the hour.
707
00:30:03,268 --> 00:30:04,667
Good.
708
00:30:04,669 --> 00:30:06,002
Good, that's very smart.
709
00:30:06,004 --> 00:30:08,338
Now, will you be targeting
military bases
710
00:30:08,340 --> 00:30:09,973
or civilian population
centers?
711
00:30:09,975 --> 00:30:12,508
Civilian population
centers.
712
00:30:12,510 --> 00:30:14,677
We...
713
00:30:14,679 --> 00:30:15,812
My superiors feel
714
00:30:15,814 --> 00:30:17,513
it will demoralize
the enemy,
715
00:30:17,515 --> 00:30:18,849
force a surrender.
716
00:30:18,851 --> 00:30:20,851
Hmm. Estimated dead?
717
00:30:20,853 --> 00:30:23,519
Mm. 15 to 20 million
enemy casualties.
718
00:30:23,521 --> 00:30:25,155
Can't make an omelet
719
00:30:25,157 --> 00:30:26,289
without breaking
a few eggs, hmm?
720
00:30:27,359 --> 00:30:28,625
Absolutely.
721
00:30:28,627 --> 00:30:30,526
Now,
722
00:30:30,528 --> 00:30:34,231
what...suggestions
do you have?
723
00:30:34,233 --> 00:30:36,967
Well, I suggest
724
00:30:36,969 --> 00:30:39,136
that you put your head
between your legs
725
00:30:39,138 --> 00:30:41,471
and you kiss your ass
good-bye.
726
00:30:43,308 --> 00:30:44,474
Thank you.
727
00:30:45,677 --> 00:30:46,810
Computer!
728
00:30:46,812 --> 00:30:49,813
The funny thing about being
a holographic record
729
00:30:49,815 --> 00:30:51,314
is that you don't
really exist,
730
00:30:51,316 --> 00:30:55,318
except in patterns of light
and shadow and information.
731
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,321
And I happen to have a knack
for breaking system codes.
732
00:30:58,323 --> 00:31:00,657
So while you were downloading
the new world order into me,
733
00:31:00,659 --> 00:31:02,492
I was watching
the system work.
734
00:31:02,494 --> 00:31:05,829
I know where it comes in,
and I know where it goes out.
735
00:31:05,831 --> 00:31:08,498
And I just sent out
our entire conversation.
736
00:31:08,500 --> 00:31:10,000
Broadcast
the whole damn thing.
737
00:31:10,002 --> 00:31:11,835
So, as of right now,
738
00:31:11,837 --> 00:31:14,104
the enemy knows what
you have in mind, Danny.
739
00:31:14,106 --> 00:31:15,338
Now, from your records,
740
00:31:15,340 --> 00:31:17,340
they're actually a lot more
humanitarian than you are,
741
00:31:17,342 --> 00:31:19,042
so they'll probably just
target your military bases
742
00:31:19,044 --> 00:31:20,343
and research facilities.
743
00:31:20,345 --> 00:31:21,845
Hell, their missiles
744
00:31:21,847 --> 00:31:23,346
are probably halfway
here by now.
745
00:31:24,683 --> 00:31:26,016
You're lying.
746
00:31:26,018 --> 00:31:28,518
[Alarm whoops]
747
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,020
Hmm.
748
00:31:30,022 --> 00:31:33,523
Holograms don't lie,
Danny boy.
749
00:31:33,525 --> 00:31:36,193
Computer,
end simulation.
750
00:31:36,195 --> 00:31:37,694
End simulation!
751
00:31:37,696 --> 00:31:39,696
Whoops, guess
the system's busy.
752
00:31:39,698 --> 00:31:42,365
This little lab of yours--
this isn't, by any chance,
753
00:31:42,367 --> 00:31:45,368
located on a military base,
is it?
754
00:31:45,370 --> 00:31:46,937
Nooooo!
755
00:31:56,215 --> 00:31:58,548
Rest easy, friends.
756
00:32:00,552 --> 00:32:01,885
Rest easy.
757
00:32:01,887 --> 00:32:03,053
[Incoming missile whine]
758
00:32:03,055 --> 00:32:04,554
[Explosion]
759
00:32:06,225 --> 00:32:08,058
Computer:
Auto-play feature engaged.
760
00:32:09,394 --> 00:32:12,229
Date: 1,000 years
from first time period.
761
00:32:12,231 --> 00:32:13,563
Stand by.
762
00:32:20,372 --> 00:32:22,372
Ooh. Huh!
763
00:32:22,374 --> 00:32:25,375
Surprised it all still
works after this long.
764
00:32:25,377 --> 00:32:28,045
Well, better get
to my report.
765
00:32:28,047 --> 00:32:30,380
Start auto-track
systems. I--
766
00:32:30,382 --> 00:32:31,381
[knock on door]
767
00:32:31,383 --> 00:32:34,551
Oh! Ohh...
768
00:32:34,553 --> 00:32:35,718
[Knock on door]
769
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:36,886
Yes! I--
770
00:32:36,888 --> 00:32:38,055
[panting]
771
00:32:38,057 --> 00:32:41,224
[Mildly]
Yes, yes, just a moment.
772
00:32:43,728 --> 00:32:46,396
Well, brother Michael,
it's--it's rather late.
773
00:32:46,398 --> 00:32:47,730
Yes, I know, I know,
774
00:32:47,732 --> 00:32:50,400
but I really had to talk
to you, brother alwyn.
775
00:32:50,402 --> 00:32:52,402
Um, um,
so it would seem.
776
00:32:52,404 --> 00:32:54,237
I am having a, uh...
777
00:32:54,239 --> 00:32:55,905
A crisis of faith.
778
00:32:55,907 --> 00:32:56,906
That again?
779
00:32:56,908 --> 00:32:58,908
What?
N-nothing. Nothing.
780
00:32:58,910 --> 00:33:00,910
And what is afflicting
your conscience
781
00:33:00,912 --> 00:33:02,245
tonight,
brother Michael?
782
00:33:02,247 --> 00:33:03,580
Well, I don't know
what my role is
783
00:33:03,582 --> 00:33:05,449
or what I'm
doing here.
784
00:33:05,451 --> 00:33:06,783
You're doing
god's work.
785
00:33:06,785 --> 00:33:08,118
Yes, but to what end?
786
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,420
The ways of the Lord
are mysterious
787
00:33:10,422 --> 00:33:12,255
and do not bend
to your or to my desire
788
00:33:12,257 --> 00:33:15,459
for answers
on a certain schedule.
789
00:33:15,461 --> 00:33:18,361
"Where wast thou when I
called forth leviathan?"
790
00:33:18,363 --> 00:33:20,130
Yes, I've read job,
brother alwyn.
791
00:33:20,132 --> 00:33:22,399
And it is really
not helping.
792
00:33:22,401 --> 00:33:24,634
All right,
brother Michael.
793
00:33:24,636 --> 00:33:26,636
[Sighs]
794
00:33:26,638 --> 00:33:28,371
What has precipitated
795
00:33:28,373 --> 00:33:30,807
this particular
crisis of faith?
796
00:33:30,809 --> 00:33:32,809
Th-there's a rumor
going round
797
00:33:32,811 --> 00:33:35,145
that our request
for recognition
798
00:33:35,147 --> 00:33:37,314
has been turned down
yet again by Rome.
799
00:33:37,316 --> 00:33:40,150
Yes, I see. Hmm...
800
00:33:40,152 --> 00:33:41,184
A better rationale
801
00:33:41,186 --> 00:33:43,987
for the vow of silence
I've never heard.
802
00:33:43,989 --> 00:33:46,156
Is it true?
803
00:33:46,158 --> 00:33:51,161
The ways of Rome
are like unto god.
804
00:33:51,163 --> 00:33:52,829
They are mysterious,
805
00:33:52,831 --> 00:33:56,065
and sometimes they transcend
understanding.
806
00:33:56,067 --> 00:33:57,967
They confess
to an inability
807
00:33:57,969 --> 00:33:59,902
to see the wisdom
of our mission:
808
00:33:59,904 --> 00:34:03,006
To keep alive the knowledge
of the past,
809
00:34:03,008 --> 00:34:05,008
the knowledge that would
have been lost forever
810
00:34:05,010 --> 00:34:07,377
after the great burn
500 years ago.
811
00:34:07,379 --> 00:34:10,113
Science and technology?
812
00:34:10,115 --> 00:34:13,082
Well, it's not really
their calling,
813
00:34:13,084 --> 00:34:15,285
but it is ours.
814
00:34:15,287 --> 00:34:16,786
But, I mean--
well, how?
815
00:34:16,788 --> 00:34:19,122
How do we know
it's our calling?
816
00:34:19,124 --> 00:34:21,057
How exactly
can we be sure?
817
00:34:21,059 --> 00:34:22,692
Brother Michael!
818
00:34:22,694 --> 00:34:24,427
I'm not actually
saying anything
819
00:34:24,429 --> 00:34:25,629
that Rome hasn't
already asked.
820
00:34:25,631 --> 00:34:26,963
And you know it.
821
00:34:26,965 --> 00:34:29,266
I mean,
most of the records
822
00:34:29,268 --> 00:34:30,800
were destroyed
in the great burn,
823
00:34:30,802 --> 00:34:32,602
so we only have
word of mouth to go on.
824
00:34:32,604 --> 00:34:37,641
In the holy books written
after the great burn!
825
00:34:37,643 --> 00:34:39,242
And so it came to pass
826
00:34:39,244 --> 00:34:41,811
that in the 500th year
of the alliance,
827
00:34:41,813 --> 00:34:45,482
the children of Earth
did war one upon another
828
00:34:45,484 --> 00:34:47,651
with missiles
and terrible weapons,
829
00:34:47,653 --> 00:34:49,653
and they burned
the Earth...
830
00:34:49,655 --> 00:34:50,654
And the air
831
00:34:50,656 --> 00:34:51,821
and the cities
832
00:34:51,823 --> 00:34:53,156
and the sea!
833
00:34:53,158 --> 00:34:56,726
You need only look outside
to have that part verified.
834
00:34:56,728 --> 00:34:59,796
Why is the rest suspect?
835
00:34:59,798 --> 00:35:02,399
It's all too clean,
it's all too...
836
00:35:02,401 --> 00:35:04,401
Well-thought-out
to be real.
837
00:35:04,403 --> 00:35:07,237
Here. Here, here.
838
00:35:08,740 --> 00:35:11,074
The blessed Lorien,
839
00:35:11,076 --> 00:35:12,576
the last
of the firstborn.
840
00:35:12,578 --> 00:35:13,910
Exactly.
841
00:35:13,912 --> 00:35:17,113
The last shall come first,
the first shall come last.
842
00:35:17,115 --> 00:35:20,650
A fable, specifically
created to match scripture.
843
00:35:20,652 --> 00:35:22,085
That's what the others say.
844
00:35:22,087 --> 00:35:23,820
And there is not
one shred of evidence
845
00:35:23,822 --> 00:35:25,255
that he even existed.
846
00:35:25,257 --> 00:35:28,425
Oh, there is proof--
out there. In space.
847
00:35:28,427 --> 00:35:30,927
But space is closed
to us now.
848
00:35:33,599 --> 00:35:35,164
Just look at us,
brother alwyn.
849
00:35:35,166 --> 00:35:38,602
And look at what Earth
has become.
850
00:35:38,604 --> 00:35:41,271
Our cities are little
more than villages.
851
00:35:41,273 --> 00:35:44,241
All those great secrets
of our ancestors
852
00:35:44,243 --> 00:35:45,442
are almost gone.
853
00:35:45,444 --> 00:35:47,777
Almost.
That's why we're here:
854
00:35:47,779 --> 00:35:50,614
To find the ancient wisdoms
and preserve them.
855
00:35:50,616 --> 00:35:51,648
Why, we've already found
856
00:35:51,650 --> 00:35:54,117
and restored so many books!
857
00:35:54,119 --> 00:35:56,953
Yes, but we are not
one inch closer to...
858
00:35:56,955 --> 00:35:59,289
To those flying machines
that the books talk about
859
00:35:59,291 --> 00:36:01,124
or to the stars.
860
00:36:01,126 --> 00:36:04,127
And if the truth really
does lie in the stars,
861
00:36:04,129 --> 00:36:06,796
then how will we
ever know the truth?
862
00:36:06,798 --> 00:36:08,965
Look at the others:
863
00:36:08,967 --> 00:36:10,300
The blessed Sheridan,
864
00:36:10,302 --> 00:36:13,470
who lived and died...
865
00:36:13,472 --> 00:36:14,804
And returned
from the dead
866
00:36:14,806 --> 00:36:17,140
and was taken bodily
into heaven.
867
00:36:17,142 --> 00:36:20,143
And Ivanova the strong,
Delenn the wise...
868
00:36:20,145 --> 00:36:24,147
They could all be fables
for all we know.
869
00:36:24,149 --> 00:36:25,348
And the worst of it...
870
00:36:25,350 --> 00:36:26,349
What?
871
00:36:27,819 --> 00:36:30,820
I was halfway through
illuminating it when...
872
00:36:30,822 --> 00:36:32,489
My heart just left me.
873
00:36:34,326 --> 00:36:35,659
The prophecies...
874
00:36:35,661 --> 00:36:38,828
The prophecies
of Delenn III...
875
00:36:38,830 --> 00:36:42,332
Said that the anla-shak--
the Rangers--
876
00:36:42,334 --> 00:36:45,335
would come again
to the Earth
877
00:36:45,337 --> 00:36:48,004
in her greatest hour
of need...
878
00:36:48,006 --> 00:36:49,972
And rebuild
879
00:36:49,974 --> 00:36:52,309
what was once
the cradle of Sheridan
880
00:36:52,311 --> 00:36:53,677
and the alliance.
881
00:36:55,180 --> 00:36:58,515
We have waited
so, so long, brother alwyn,
882
00:36:58,517 --> 00:37:00,183
and they have never come...
883
00:37:00,185 --> 00:37:02,185
If that's a myth, then...
884
00:37:02,187 --> 00:37:06,189
Then everything else
could be a myth,
885
00:37:06,191 --> 00:37:07,957
and the whole of my life
886
00:37:07,959 --> 00:37:09,859
could just be a lie.
887
00:37:11,196 --> 00:37:15,031
And if they do not come today,
but they come tomorrow,
888
00:37:15,033 --> 00:37:17,200
is your life a lie then?
889
00:37:19,037 --> 00:37:21,371
I cannot help you,
brother Michael.
890
00:37:21,373 --> 00:37:24,374
That is what faith is for.
891
00:37:24,376 --> 00:37:26,710
Faith sustains us
892
00:37:26,712 --> 00:37:29,579
in the hour
when reason tells us
893
00:37:29,581 --> 00:37:31,715
that we cannot continue,
894
00:37:31,717 --> 00:37:35,284
that the whole of our lives
is without meaning.
895
00:37:35,286 --> 00:37:37,754
Then why were we
born able to reason
896
00:37:37,756 --> 00:37:38,955
if reason's useless?
897
00:37:38,957 --> 00:37:42,359
Not useless, but
it's also not enough.
898
00:37:42,361 --> 00:37:45,362
Faith and reason
are the shoes on your feet.
899
00:37:45,364 --> 00:37:47,296
You can travel further
with both
900
00:37:47,298 --> 00:37:49,031
than you can
with just one.
901
00:37:49,033 --> 00:37:51,334
If you must have reason
for an answer,
902
00:37:51,336 --> 00:37:52,535
then consider this:
903
00:37:52,537 --> 00:37:56,005
If today the Rangers
came back to Earth
904
00:37:56,007 --> 00:37:57,039
from their place
in the heavens,
905
00:37:57,041 --> 00:37:59,041
you would not know
about it.
906
00:37:59,043 --> 00:38:02,379
They would come in secret
and move around and help us,
907
00:38:02,381 --> 00:38:04,547
and we wouldn't even know
they were here,
908
00:38:04,549 --> 00:38:07,049
because the secret
that they bring
909
00:38:07,051 --> 00:38:09,118
is feared by people
910
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:13,490
who still blame science
for the great burn.
911
00:38:13,492 --> 00:38:17,326
Then you think the Rangers
are here today?
912
00:38:17,328 --> 00:38:21,063
Well...i believe...
They could be.
913
00:38:21,065 --> 00:38:24,000
That's all
that faith requires:
914
00:38:24,002 --> 00:38:28,405
That we surrender ourselves
to the possibility of hope.
915
00:38:28,407 --> 00:38:31,574
With that, I am content.
916
00:38:31,576 --> 00:38:34,277
And I believe
you will be as well.
917
00:38:37,582 --> 00:38:38,681
[Turning pages in book]
918
00:38:38,683 --> 00:38:39,682
It's beautiful work.
919
00:38:41,586 --> 00:38:45,588
Too lovely and significant
for you to half-finish.
920
00:38:45,590 --> 00:38:48,591
Finish your illumination,
brother Michael.
921
00:38:48,593 --> 00:38:49,759
You've gone this far.
922
00:38:49,761 --> 00:38:51,761
It's too late
to lose your faith now...
923
00:38:51,763 --> 00:38:53,930
Or my faith in you.
924
00:38:53,932 --> 00:38:56,699
If the truth's
really in the stars,
925
00:38:56,701 --> 00:38:57,700
brother alwyn,
926
00:38:57,702 --> 00:38:59,936
then just once--
once before I die--
927
00:38:59,938 --> 00:39:01,671
I really wish
928
00:39:01,673 --> 00:39:03,606
that I could walk
amongst those stars.
929
00:39:03,608 --> 00:39:06,108
If there is a way,
brother Michael,
930
00:39:06,110 --> 00:39:09,612
I pray that your wish
comes true.
931
00:39:15,787 --> 00:39:17,119
Ohh...
932
00:39:17,121 --> 00:39:18,187
Oh, dear.
933
00:39:20,291 --> 00:39:23,125
The energy level's
down to nothing!
934
00:39:23,127 --> 00:39:26,963
I'm going to have to sit you
in the sun tomorrow to recharge.
935
00:39:28,967 --> 00:39:31,300
Alwyn macomber
reporting in.
936
00:39:31,302 --> 00:39:33,970
Nothing of substance
to report since my last.
937
00:39:33,972 --> 00:39:36,940
Uh, we think
we may have gathered
938
00:39:36,942 --> 00:39:39,141
enough information
from the time pre-burn
939
00:39:39,143 --> 00:39:42,812
to assemble a working
gasoline engine.
940
00:39:42,814 --> 00:39:44,447
Obviously,
there's no gasoline
941
00:39:44,449 --> 00:39:45,815
in this part
of the country.
942
00:39:45,817 --> 00:39:47,517
Therefore, we ask
the supply department
943
00:39:47,519 --> 00:39:48,985
if they could, uh,
944
00:39:48,987 --> 00:39:51,988
arrange to have a suitable
supply of gasoline
945
00:39:51,990 --> 00:39:53,556
found in the vicinity
946
00:39:53,558 --> 00:39:55,658
near the Abbey
in a few days.
947
00:39:55,660 --> 00:39:58,327
Only this time,
for valen's sake,
948
00:39:58,329 --> 00:40:01,831
please make it look like
an old container.
949
00:40:01,833 --> 00:40:03,165
The last one
could've been produced
950
00:40:03,167 --> 00:40:04,667
a hundred years ago.
951
00:40:15,847 --> 00:40:18,347
We will rebuild the Earth.
952
00:40:18,349 --> 00:40:22,685
Mmm. Though it take us
another 2,000 years.
953
00:40:22,687 --> 00:40:26,689
But this time
we will build it better.
954
00:40:28,527 --> 00:40:31,694
I'm attaching
a conversation I just had
955
00:40:31,696 --> 00:40:33,195
with brother Michael,
956
00:40:33,197 --> 00:40:34,697
who I still think would be
957
00:40:34,699 --> 00:40:37,366
a worthy recruit
after he's grown a little.
958
00:40:37,368 --> 00:40:40,202
Give him another 20 years,
and he'll be fine.
959
00:40:42,140 --> 00:40:47,109
Alwyn, anla-shak,
Earth sector. End report.
960
00:40:47,111 --> 00:40:50,346
We live for the one,
we die for the one.
961
00:40:51,616 --> 00:40:52,916
Computer: Auto-play
feature complete.
962
00:40:52,918 --> 00:40:53,917
Stand by.
963
00:40:57,422 --> 00:40:58,588
Computer: System has
finished processing
964
00:40:58,590 --> 00:40:59,755
and archiving records
965
00:40:59,757 --> 00:41:01,524
for period
of 1 million years
966
00:41:01,526 --> 00:41:02,858
from initial scanning date.
967
00:41:02,860 --> 00:41:05,828
Instructions?
968
00:41:05,830 --> 00:41:08,897
Our job is finished.
Convey records to new Earth.
969
00:41:08,899 --> 00:41:10,333
Computer: Confirmed.
970
00:41:10,335 --> 00:41:12,168
Use enhanced
tachyon sequence
971
00:41:12,170 --> 00:41:14,504
to ensure arrival
in time for the celebrations.
972
00:41:14,506 --> 00:41:15,505
Computer: Confirmed.
973
00:41:15,507 --> 00:41:17,173
Note: Atypical
solar emissions
974
00:41:17,175 --> 00:41:18,674
increasing
in intensity.
975
00:41:18,676 --> 00:41:20,510
Estimate sol
will hit Nova
976
00:41:20,512 --> 00:41:22,178
in less than
5 standard hours.
977
00:41:22,180 --> 00:41:24,180
Recommend immediate
evacuation.
978
00:41:24,182 --> 00:41:26,015
Tell the others
not to worry.
979
00:41:26,017 --> 00:41:29,018
I wouldn't miss this
for anything.
980
00:41:29,020 --> 00:41:31,120
Now go on.
981
00:41:36,127 --> 00:41:39,295
This is how
the world ends...
982
00:41:39,297 --> 00:41:42,965
Swallowed in fire,
but not in darkness.
983
00:41:42,967 --> 00:41:44,667
You will live on--
984
00:41:44,669 --> 00:41:46,969
the voice of all
our ancestors,
985
00:41:46,971 --> 00:41:48,304
the voice of our fathers
986
00:41:48,306 --> 00:41:50,640
and our mothers
to the last generation.
987
00:41:50,642 --> 00:41:51,974
We created the world
988
00:41:51,976 --> 00:41:53,809
we think you would've
wished for us.
989
00:41:53,811 --> 00:41:57,647
And now we leave the cradle
for the last time.
990
00:42:31,516 --> 00:42:34,016
You should sleep.
991
00:42:34,018 --> 00:42:36,185
We both have
early meetings.
992
00:42:37,522 --> 00:42:39,021
Yeah, I know.
993
00:42:41,025 --> 00:42:43,192
I was just thinking
about it all.
994
00:42:43,194 --> 00:42:46,028
Everything we've done...
995
00:42:46,030 --> 00:42:48,030
And what I said earlier.
996
00:42:48,032 --> 00:42:52,034
And I was wondering
if they will remember us
997
00:42:52,036 --> 00:42:55,204
a hundred years from now,
or a thousand.
998
00:42:57,709 --> 00:43:00,543
And I figure
probably not.
999
00:43:00,545 --> 00:43:02,545
But it doesn't matter.
1000
00:43:02,547 --> 00:43:05,548
We did what we did
because it was right,
1001
00:43:05,550 --> 00:43:07,049
not to be remembered.
1002
00:43:07,051 --> 00:43:10,720
And history will
attend to itself.
1003
00:43:10,722 --> 00:43:12,555
It always does.
