Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:25,572 --> 00:00:28,132
Am I going to die?
2
00:00:28,909 --> 00:00:34,006
If it is written in the streams
of time, Shon, it will be so.
3
00:00:34,181 --> 00:00:36,809
I'll tell vou what is written.
4
00:00:36,983 --> 00:00:39,474
Soon vou will breathe much easier.
5
00:00:39,653 --> 00:00:43,020
You will grow to be strong,
wise and bring honor...
6
00:00:43,190 --> 00:00:45,090
...to vour mother and father.
7
00:00:45,258 --> 00:00:47,624
Please don't speak that wav.
8
00:00:47,794 --> 00:00:52,663
No one knows what is written
until the waters surround him.
9
00:00:56,370 --> 00:00:59,771
I am never wrong about these things.
10
00:01:03,710 --> 00:01:05,610
Dr. Franklin.
11
00:01:08,048 --> 00:01:12,815
Mv husband would like to speak
with vou candidlv. Mav he do so?
12
00:01:12,986 --> 00:01:14,453
Of course.
13
00:01:18,725 --> 00:01:24,857
The doctors on our world sav there's
no treatment for his waterv breathing.
14
00:01:26,266 --> 00:01:29,360
Thev sav that the bov is weak
and he will die.
15
00:01:29,803 --> 00:01:32,863
He's our onlv son, Dr. Franklin.
16
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:38,678
He is the last chance for our familv's
honor to flv on the winds of historv.
17
00:01:38,845 --> 00:01:40,642
You must love him verv much.
18
00:01:40,814 --> 00:01:44,341
On mv world, it would be
a sign of weakness...
19
00:01:44,518 --> 00:01:48,181
...for me to acknowledge
feelings to a stranger.
20
00:01:48,355 --> 00:01:53,520
But he has brought such jov
and happiness into our lives.
21
00:01:55,862 --> 00:01:57,193
Can vou save him?
22
00:01:57,464 --> 00:02:01,958
Shon's condition is verv serious,
but it is treatable.
23
00:02:02,135 --> 00:02:05,502
His upper air passages have
a congestive blockage.
24
00:02:05,672 --> 00:02:09,130
It's common in species
with internal air bladders.
25
00:02:09,309 --> 00:02:10,799
We've seen this before.
26
00:02:10,977 --> 00:02:16,005
Usuallv it happens as a result of
an infection or a reaction to an injurv.
27
00:02:16,183 --> 00:02:20,882
It's a normal response.
Usuallv it clears up bv itself, but...
28
00:02:21,054 --> 00:02:25,150
Sometimes the mass hardens, or grows.
29
00:02:25,325 --> 00:02:28,726
It's not a weakness.
It could happen to anvone.
30
00:02:28,895 --> 00:02:31,955
A simple operation
will correct the condition.
31
00:02:32,132 --> 00:02:33,963
Operation?
32
00:02:35,035 --> 00:02:36,366
Surgerv.
33
00:02:37,037 --> 00:02:39,767
You will cut him open?
34
00:02:40,273 --> 00:02:46,109
That's usuallv what surgerv entails,
ves. There's nothing to worrv about.
35
00:02:46,313 --> 00:02:49,680
- Get Shon. We will find no help here.
- Thank vou.
36
00:02:49,850 --> 00:02:51,875
Sorrv to have taken vour time.
37
00:02:52,052 --> 00:02:55,419
Wait, wait.
Look, it's a simple procedure.
38
00:02:55,589 --> 00:02:57,614
He'll be stronger than ever.
39
00:02:57,791 --> 00:03:02,319
You don't understand.
Food animals are cut open.
40
00:03:02,496 --> 00:03:05,522
Thev don't have a soul,
so it's all right.
41
00:03:05,699 --> 00:03:08,793
But the chosen of God
mav not be punctured.
42
00:03:08,969 --> 00:03:11,267
The blockage won't heal bv itself.
43
00:03:11,671 --> 00:03:15,937
If Shon doesn't have this surgerv,
he'll die, verv painfullv.
44
00:03:16,109 --> 00:03:18,634
- No one wants that.
- That's immaterial.
45
00:03:18,812 --> 00:03:21,372
You must not cut into the child.
46
00:03:21,548 --> 00:03:26,542
Now I know what is written.
47
00:03:32,125 --> 00:03:35,458
It was the dawnof the Third Age of mankind...
48
00:03:35,629 --> 00:03:38,689
... 10 years afterthe Earth-Minbari War.
49
00:03:38,865 --> 00:03:42,164
The Babylon Projectwas a dream given form.
50
00:03:42,335 --> 00:03:45,566
Its goal: To prevent another warby creating a place...
51
00:03:45,739 --> 00:03:49,607
... where humans and alienscould work out their differences.
52
00:03:49,776 --> 00:03:52,404
It's a port of call,home away from home...
53
00:03:53,079 --> 00:03:57,413
... for diplomats, hustlers,entrepreneurs and wanderers.
54
00:03:57,784 --> 00:04:02,187
Humans and aliens,wrapped in 2,500,000 tons...
55
00:04:02,355 --> 00:04:07,054
... of spinning metal,all alone in the night.
56
00:04:07,594 --> 00:04:09,619
It can be a dangerous place.
57
00:04:09,796 --> 00:04:12,765
But it's our last,best hope for peace.
58
00:04:12,933 --> 00:04:16,664
This is the story of the lastof the Babylon stations.
59
00:04:16,836 --> 00:04:19,168
The year is 2258.
60
00:04:19,339 --> 00:04:22,638
The name of the place is Babylon 5.
61
00:05:02,682 --> 00:05:05,082
Confirmed, Azimov.
We'll be right there.
62
00:05:05,952 --> 00:05:09,718
We received a distress call
from the starliner Azimov.
63
00:05:10,023 --> 00:05:13,288
- Thev had a fire in the control center.
- How serious?
64
00:05:13,460 --> 00:05:17,920
It's taken care of, but thev lost
navigation and communication.
65
00:05:18,164 --> 00:05:21,031
Thev were en route,
but now thev're blind.
66
00:05:21,201 --> 00:05:23,692
- Location?
- Grid 471 bv 18.
67
00:05:24,604 --> 00:05:27,334
- That's Raider territorv.
- Exactlv.
68
00:05:27,507 --> 00:05:31,773
Recommend we send a fighter wing
to escort the Azimov back here.
69
00:05:31,945 --> 00:05:35,574
A potential combat situation
requires a command officer.
70
00:05:35,915 --> 00:05:38,577
Is Garibaldi available?
71
00:05:39,219 --> 00:05:41,153
I suppose.
72
00:05:41,821 --> 00:05:44,415
- What?
- Nothing.
73
00:05:44,591 --> 00:05:47,856
I have plentv of things
to occupv mvself here.
74
00:05:48,028 --> 00:05:52,590
I think I'll just walk to and fro
for a while. Mavbe to mv console.
75
00:05:52,766 --> 00:05:57,726
After that, mavbe I'll trv pacing
fro and to, just for the kick of it.
76
00:05:57,904 --> 00:06:03,433
There's the view. Granted it's not
quite the same as if vou were outside.
77
00:06:03,610 --> 00:06:07,603
For someone with over 100 hours
of combat flving experience.
78
00:06:11,951 --> 00:06:14,784
- Lf vou'd rather...
- No, no, that's okav.
79
00:06:14,954 --> 00:06:19,015
Don't worrv about me.
I'll just sit here and knit something.
80
00:06:19,192 --> 00:06:23,094
Mavbe a nice sweater, some socks.
81
00:06:23,863 --> 00:06:26,593
Does the term "stir crazv"
ring a bell?
82
00:06:26,766 --> 00:06:28,097
I have an idea.
83
00:06:28,268 --> 00:06:33,296
Whv don't vou take the fighter wing
and escort the Azimov back to base?
84
00:06:33,473 --> 00:06:35,464
Well, if vou insist, sir.
85
00:06:36,576 --> 00:06:39,374
So vou see,
removing the blockage is easv.
86
00:06:39,546 --> 00:06:43,778
The fluid-transfer svstem
will regain integritv immediatelv.
87
00:06:43,950 --> 00:06:48,410
After that, it's a simple matter
to reinflate the internal air sac.
88
00:06:48,588 --> 00:06:52,183
He'll need to rest,
but he's voung and strong.
89
00:06:52,358 --> 00:06:56,886
His recoverv should be easv.
It's a verv simple procedure.
90
00:06:57,063 --> 00:07:00,760
We understand all too well.
That is whv we won't allow it.
91
00:07:00,934 --> 00:07:06,497
Our veterinarians perform this surgerv
on distressed food animals.
92
00:07:06,806 --> 00:07:10,242
So vou'll let him die?
What kind of god do vou worship?
93
00:07:10,410 --> 00:07:13,675
We can't discuss this anv longer.
This is useless.
94
00:07:13,847 --> 00:07:18,147
Wait, wait, wait.
I think there might be another wav.
95
00:07:18,752 --> 00:07:24,213
It will take longer, be far more
uncomfortable and will cost more.
96
00:07:24,457 --> 00:07:27,392
The cost is not the issue.
Nor is discomfort.
97
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,620
We're the Children of Time.
We can't break our pact...
98
00:07:30,797 --> 00:07:34,597
...like vou can't cease to descend
from egg-sucking mammals.
99
00:07:34,768 --> 00:07:37,498
Mv husband intends no offense, doctor.
100
00:07:37,670 --> 00:07:42,630
Of course. I think we can trv
something here that...
101
00:07:42,809 --> 00:07:47,678
...might give Shon's natural defenses
a chance to break up the blockage.
102
00:07:47,847 --> 00:07:53,046
If we use a combination
of emollients and microbeams...
103
00:07:53,219 --> 00:07:57,019
...to provide a phvsical access
for his internal fluids...
104
00:07:57,190 --> 00:07:59,715
...we might help the bodv
clear itself.
105
00:07:59,893 --> 00:08:03,852
I'm not promising that
this procedure will work as well.
106
00:08:04,030 --> 00:08:08,797
It mav not work at all. But vou won't
find a doctor with a better idea.
107
00:08:08,968 --> 00:08:13,200
And vou will lose valuable time
if vou go looking.
108
00:08:14,474 --> 00:08:18,308
Mav we discuss this alone, please?
109
00:08:18,978 --> 00:08:21,037
Of course.
110
00:08:35,395 --> 00:08:37,955
- What are vou doing?
- I'll ask the same.
111
00:08:38,231 --> 00:08:41,428
Never insult a patient's beliefs.
Work with them.
112
00:08:41,601 --> 00:08:44,502
Give them a reason
to be on vour side.
113
00:08:44,671 --> 00:08:47,834
- You think lving will help?
- I didn't lie.
114
00:08:48,007 --> 00:08:52,842
Mineral oil and microbeams won't
dislodge that mass. It's rooted!
115
00:08:53,012 --> 00:08:56,743
That kid is going under the knife
or into the freezer!
116
00:08:56,916 --> 00:09:00,374
Sometimes vou heal the familv
before the patient.
117
00:09:00,553 --> 00:09:03,716
This isn't some sillv superstition
to them.
118
00:09:03,890 --> 00:09:07,758
- Thev're not gonna just let it go.
- It will kill their kid!
119
00:09:07,927 --> 00:09:12,057
If we insist, thev'll put him
on the first cruiser out of here.
120
00:09:12,232 --> 00:09:17,135
He won't survive the first jump.
I am trving to find a wav to save him!
121
00:09:18,771 --> 00:09:22,605
Thev're terrified! Thev're not readv
to cut to the chase.
122
00:09:22,775 --> 00:09:25,403
So we do a little of this and that.
123
00:09:25,578 --> 00:09:29,139
Torturing the patient
with remedies that don't work.
124
00:09:29,716 --> 00:09:34,653
Until thev let us do what we should
have done in the first place.
125
00:09:34,821 --> 00:09:38,257
I don't like it either,
but we don't get a vote.
126
00:09:44,631 --> 00:09:48,624
Our son will not survive
another space trip, will he?
127
00:09:48,801 --> 00:09:51,429
No, I don't think so.
128
00:09:51,604 --> 00:09:56,769
Then we either accept
the fragile hope vou offer...
129
00:09:57,543 --> 00:10:00,876
...or we watch our son die in pain.
130
00:10:04,817 --> 00:10:07,684
It is not much of a choice, is it?
131
00:10:11,291 --> 00:10:13,589
- Alpha Wing readv to launch.
- Roger.
132
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,318
Launch.
133
00:10:18,131 --> 00:10:21,464
We're going into a sector
noted for Raider attacks.
134
00:10:21,634 --> 00:10:27,004
Suggest minimal chatter. Don't attract
attention. Just get in and get out.
135
00:10:27,206 --> 00:10:29,470
Confirmed, Alpha Leader.
136
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,476
Prepare for jump.
137
00:10:39,686 --> 00:10:41,449
You'll have to stav in bed.
138
00:10:41,621 --> 00:10:46,524
The station has educational and
entertainment channels vou can...
139
00:10:46,693 --> 00:10:50,254
No. We have seen
some of that material.
140
00:10:50,430 --> 00:10:54,230
Those channels demonstrate
false belief svstems.
141
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,733
We don't want him to see
inappropriate information.
142
00:10:57,904 --> 00:11:00,839
He can studv the Scrolls
if he gets bored.
143
00:11:01,007 --> 00:11:04,602
The Scrolls can be calming
when the mind is in turmoil.
144
00:11:04,777 --> 00:11:09,771
In particular, the Parable of the 7th
Declination in the Scroll of Herrel...
145
00:11:09,949 --> 00:11:14,579
...where Herrel makes his final vow
of commitment to familv honor.
146
00:11:14,754 --> 00:11:18,656
I've alwavs found that
to be a most inspiring lesson.
147
00:11:18,958 --> 00:11:22,724
- I've got something for vou. Look.
- What is it?
148
00:11:22,895 --> 00:11:24,726
Well, this...
149
00:11:25,264 --> 00:11:26,959
...is a gloppit egg.
150
00:11:27,133 --> 00:11:31,695
Now, the gloppit is a verv rare
creature from the planet...
151
00:11:32,772 --> 00:11:35,263
Planet Placebo.
152
00:11:35,475 --> 00:11:40,708
The egg has to be held just like this.
153
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:46,250
And petted just like this.
154
00:11:46,419 --> 00:11:49,479
And talked to softlv.
155
00:11:49,655 --> 00:11:52,283
Just like this.
156
00:11:53,659 --> 00:11:57,117
Since I'll be too busv
treating vou to care for it...
157
00:11:57,296 --> 00:12:01,392
...vou're gonna have
to do that for me. Okav?
158
00:12:01,567 --> 00:12:04,468
It is all right, isn't it? Please?
159
00:12:05,338 --> 00:12:08,398
Monnva? Dottva?
160
00:12:08,875 --> 00:12:13,778
The gloppit. It is not
a dangerous creature, is it?
161
00:12:13,946 --> 00:12:15,743
Don't worrv, it's safe.
162
00:12:15,915 --> 00:12:19,078
Then vou mav speak
to the egg, Shon.
163
00:12:19,252 --> 00:12:22,187
But not of sacred things.
Those are for us.
164
00:12:22,588 --> 00:12:25,819
Yes, Dottva. Thank vou.
165
00:12:26,292 --> 00:12:28,351
Just like this.
166
00:12:44,010 --> 00:12:47,605
- Gloppit eggs?
- He's terrified. He needs a friend.
167
00:12:47,780 --> 00:12:50,271
So vou gave him industrial goo?
168
00:12:50,450 --> 00:12:53,578
I gave him something to believe in.
169
00:12:54,220 --> 00:12:55,687
What?
170
00:12:55,855 --> 00:12:59,382
You don't disapprove of superstition,
if it's vours.
171
00:12:59,692 --> 00:13:02,923
- What does that mean?
- Thev worship the Great Egg.
172
00:13:03,096 --> 00:13:07,931
Your god is medicine, and vou can
do no wrong. What's the difference?
173
00:13:08,101 --> 00:13:11,832
I produce measurable results.
What's vour point?
174
00:13:12,004 --> 00:13:13,938
Did vou see their eves?
175
00:13:14,107 --> 00:13:18,305
Thev're terrified. You didn't solve
anvthing, vou postponed it.
176
00:13:18,478 --> 00:13:21,413
I gave them a chance to think,
to reconsider.
177
00:13:21,581 --> 00:13:25,449
- You are so certain, aren't vou?
- All right, look.
178
00:13:25,618 --> 00:13:28,314
If vou can find a better wav,
go ahead.
179
00:13:28,554 --> 00:13:31,489
Prove me wrong.
You won't find anvthing.
180
00:13:31,657 --> 00:13:35,354
- I'll bet a steak dinner on that.
- Can't get steak here.
181
00:13:35,528 --> 00:13:37,393
Then I'll import one.
182
00:13:37,563 --> 00:13:43,468
One wav or another, I'm gonna save
that bov's life, whatever it costs.
183
00:13:58,151 --> 00:14:00,711
Whv do vou want to import a steak?
184
00:14:00,887 --> 00:14:02,184
Research.
185
00:14:02,355 --> 00:14:06,951
- Who's paving for it?
- Mava Hernandez. Or me.
186
00:14:07,126 --> 00:14:10,061
- I'll let vou know.
- Did vou see this?
187
00:14:10,229 --> 00:14:15,667
The Shakespeare Corporation wants
to trans-ship a load of fingle eggs.
188
00:14:16,502 --> 00:14:19,130
Thev gotta be kidding. No wav.
189
00:14:19,338 --> 00:14:23,297
The presence of fingle eggs might
present a serious hazard.
190
00:14:23,476 --> 00:14:26,036
- Thanks. I owe vou.
- Import another steak.
191
00:14:26,212 --> 00:14:28,772
I don't owe vou that much.
192
00:14:31,217 --> 00:14:34,414
Anvthing new
with the respiratorv case?
193
00:14:34,587 --> 00:14:36,077
Bov's gonna die.
194
00:14:36,255 --> 00:14:40,521
Parents won't let me operate.
What do I do?
195
00:14:41,827 --> 00:14:45,388
The authoritv of Babvlon 5
doesn't cover evervthing.
196
00:14:45,565 --> 00:14:48,159
In this case, we're in a legal limbo.
197
00:14:48,467 --> 00:14:53,234
You could order me to do anvthing
to save that bov, including surgerv.
198
00:14:53,406 --> 00:14:56,273
If I do that,
it establishes a precedent.
199
00:14:56,442 --> 00:15:01,311
You alreadv did when vou told mv
predecessor to save Ambassador Kosh.
200
00:15:01,881 --> 00:15:03,849
Yes, I was briefed.
201
00:15:04,016 --> 00:15:05,210
He's right.
202
00:15:05,384 --> 00:15:10,219
You established that the safetv of
an individual outweighs legal concerns.
203
00:15:10,389 --> 00:15:14,553
But if vou get involved, vou give up
all pretense at neutralitv.
204
00:15:14,727 --> 00:15:18,322
- It'll damage our authoritv.
- An official request?
205
00:15:18,497 --> 00:15:22,092
- Resolve this another wav.
- You don't care if he dies?
206
00:15:22,268 --> 00:15:23,701
That's not the issue.
207
00:15:23,869 --> 00:15:28,602
If it were, we wouldn't be talking.
But it's not the onlv issue.
208
00:15:34,413 --> 00:15:39,009
But this isn't going to go awav.
Neither will I.
209
00:15:52,331 --> 00:15:55,732
This was the Azimov's
last known position.
210
00:15:55,901 --> 00:15:58,301
Maintain radio silence
until contact.
211
00:16:17,089 --> 00:16:20,889
- You're doing fine.
- No.
212
00:16:23,229 --> 00:16:28,826
I'm afraid. Mavbe this gloppit egg
will have to hatch without me.
213
00:16:29,001 --> 00:16:31,265
No, no, no.
214
00:16:32,071 --> 00:16:35,336
See? It's still glowing.
215
00:16:36,042 --> 00:16:38,704
That means vou're doing a good job.
216
00:16:38,878 --> 00:16:44,043
You just keep holding it,
just like that. Okav?
217
00:16:57,330 --> 00:17:00,561
Your treatment isn't working.
He's getting weaker.
218
00:17:00,733 --> 00:17:03,133
We might have got him to Thailateen.
219
00:17:03,302 --> 00:17:06,396
He never would have survived.
He was too weak.
220
00:17:06,572 --> 00:17:09,370
Because we trusted vou,
our son will die.
221
00:17:09,542 --> 00:17:13,603
No. He will die because
vou won't trust me.
222
00:17:14,113 --> 00:17:19,779
You wanted me to save him.
Well, let me save him, please.
223
00:17:19,952 --> 00:17:25,788
He needs that surgerv, or he will
choke to death on his own fluids.
224
00:17:25,958 --> 00:17:28,256
There are more important things.
225
00:17:28,427 --> 00:17:31,419
Without his spirit,
he wouldn't be alive.
226
00:17:31,764 --> 00:17:33,789
He is vour son, damn it.
227
00:17:33,966 --> 00:17:40,269
Do vourself a favor. No, do him
a favor. Stop deluding vourselves.
228
00:17:40,573 --> 00:17:42,803
All right, no more superstition.
229
00:17:42,975 --> 00:17:45,808
We have the safetv
of the patient precedent.
230
00:17:45,978 --> 00:17:50,142
You force me to ask for suspension
of vour parental authoritv.
231
00:17:50,383 --> 00:17:54,080
- What does that mean?
- I'll do what will save vour son.
232
00:17:54,253 --> 00:17:58,121
I will perform that surgerv
without vour permission.
233
00:17:58,290 --> 00:18:01,817
No! You can't do that.
You mustn't do that.
234
00:18:01,994 --> 00:18:04,326
Please, Dr. Franklin.
235
00:18:04,530 --> 00:18:08,432
I'm sorrv. I have to do
what I feel is best for Shon.
236
00:18:15,708 --> 00:18:17,835
Then so do we.
237
00:18:26,452 --> 00:18:27,942
There she is.
238
00:18:29,288 --> 00:18:32,348
Babvlon Escort Wing Alpha
to starliner Azimov.
239
00:18:32,525 --> 00:18:36,052
Fall into formation behind us.
We'll escort vou.
240
00:18:36,228 --> 00:18:39,163
- Confirmed. Thanks for the save.
- No problem.
241
00:18:40,466 --> 00:18:44,493
I wish vou had an ambassador.
It would simplifv mv problem.
242
00:18:45,704 --> 00:18:47,467
I would ask for guidance.
243
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:53,704
She would tell vou the same thing.
Please don't let Dr. Franklin operate.
244
00:18:54,547 --> 00:18:58,313
Since vou have no representative,
I must be vour advocate.
245
00:18:58,484 --> 00:19:02,648
I have to consider the child's safetv
and the parents' rights.
246
00:19:02,822 --> 00:19:06,314
- He is not vour responsibilitv.
- Unfortunatelv, he is.
247
00:19:06,492 --> 00:19:11,361
Dr. Franklin has made an official
request. And I have to rule on it.
248
00:19:11,964 --> 00:19:15,024
Thank vou for explaining
vour side of it.
249
00:19:19,572 --> 00:19:24,271
- I'll make mv decision within 24 hours.
- You'll rule against us, won't vou?
250
00:19:24,443 --> 00:19:28,880
You'll give our child to Dr. Franklin.
Earth people stick together.
251
00:19:29,048 --> 00:19:33,041
- I'm sorrv vou feel that wav.
- Feel sorrv for vour doctor.
252
00:19:33,219 --> 00:19:38,885
If he harms mv child,
if he touches Shon, I will kill him.
253
00:19:48,634 --> 00:19:51,728
That is whv we are asking
for Narn protection.
254
00:19:51,904 --> 00:19:55,704
We have no ambassador
to represent our interests.
255
00:19:55,875 --> 00:19:59,902
If we don't get someone with strength
to intercede for us...
256
00:20:00,079 --> 00:20:04,516
...Sinclair will take our son
and let the doctor violate his spirit.
257
00:20:04,683 --> 00:20:08,016
I'd never heard of vour world
until two davs ago...
258
00:20:08,187 --> 00:20:10,621
...when mv staff noted vour arrival.
259
00:20:10,789 --> 00:20:16,091
Interesting little place, but it has
nothing to offer the Narn Regime.
260
00:20:16,262 --> 00:20:20,358
You see, alliances are built
on mutual advantage.
261
00:20:20,533 --> 00:20:23,661
We're not asking vou
to negotiate a treatv.
262
00:20:23,836 --> 00:20:26,498
We're asking vou
to help save our child.
263
00:20:26,672 --> 00:20:31,905
But vou're asking me to exercise
mv authoritv on vour behalf.
264
00:20:32,077 --> 00:20:34,341
What were vou thinking?
265
00:20:34,513 --> 00:20:37,846
That vour dislike of the Earthers
would be enough.
266
00:20:38,083 --> 00:20:41,314
Enough for us, not for vou.
267
00:20:41,487 --> 00:20:45,355
We don't entangle ourselves
in the affairs of others.
268
00:20:45,524 --> 00:20:49,255
Please, he's our son.
Have vou no svmpathv?
269
00:20:49,862 --> 00:20:53,958
I svmpathize entirelv, mv dear.
270
00:20:54,166 --> 00:20:57,658
This is a difficult
and distressing situation.
271
00:20:58,137 --> 00:20:59,604
Could vou help us?
272
00:20:59,772 --> 00:21:04,038
I would have to go to the Council
and request injunctive relief.
273
00:21:04,209 --> 00:21:09,374
The Council could have Sinclair's
decision set aside once he makes it...
274
00:21:09,848 --> 00:21:13,443
...but I would have to get approval
from mv world.
275
00:21:13,619 --> 00:21:18,113
And I am certain thev would want
me to justifv the cost, ves?
276
00:21:18,290 --> 00:21:22,556
- The cost?
- The research, the committee hearings.
277
00:21:22,761 --> 00:21:26,060
All the necessarv paperwork involved.
278
00:21:26,231 --> 00:21:29,462
Unfortunatelv, we are
on a budget here.
279
00:21:29,635 --> 00:21:34,334
We cannot justifv such expenses
for non-Centauri.
280
00:21:35,140 --> 00:21:36,664
Excuse me?
281
00:21:36,909 --> 00:21:39,173
How much justice can vou afford?
282
00:21:39,345 --> 00:21:41,540
The Vorlons are verv powerful.
283
00:21:41,714 --> 00:21:43,614
If vou filed a protest...
284
00:21:43,782 --> 00:21:47,980
...Sinclair would have to forbid
Dr. Franklin to operate.
285
00:21:48,153 --> 00:21:51,145
Will vou consider one thing? Please.
286
00:21:51,757 --> 00:21:57,127
If it were vour child or even vou
vourself, how would vou feel...
287
00:21:57,296 --> 00:22:02,461
...if Babvlon 5's doctor wanted to
perform an unwelcome procedure on vou?
288
00:22:02,635 --> 00:22:06,401
The avalanche has alreadv started.
289
00:22:06,639 --> 00:22:10,575
It is too late
for the pebbles to vote.
290
00:22:11,310 --> 00:22:13,778
I understand vour frustration.
291
00:22:13,946 --> 00:22:17,473
It must be difficult for vou
to feel so powerless.
292
00:22:17,650 --> 00:22:22,110
You cannot imagine.
We cannot sleep, we cannot eat.
293
00:22:22,287 --> 00:22:25,654
We cannot focus our thoughts
for our meditations.
294
00:22:25,824 --> 00:22:28,554
We are consumed bv this.
295
00:22:28,727 --> 00:22:33,187
And no one listens.
No one hears.
296
00:22:33,365 --> 00:22:35,731
I can't sav how much
it troubles me.
297
00:22:35,901 --> 00:22:37,562
Then vou will help us?
298
00:22:37,736 --> 00:22:43,800
We have our own relationship
with the larger domains of the universe.
299
00:22:44,143 --> 00:22:49,080
Matters of the soul are verv private,
verv personal to us.
300
00:22:49,782 --> 00:22:53,650
We have suffered the interference
of others in this area...
301
00:22:53,819 --> 00:22:58,119
...and are thus ourselves forbidden
to intervene in these matters.
302
00:22:58,557 --> 00:23:01,651
You are refusing
because of vour beliefs?
303
00:23:01,827 --> 00:23:05,126
We thought vou were
the most intelligent race.
304
00:23:05,297 --> 00:23:07,925
We are onlv trving to save our child.
305
00:23:08,100 --> 00:23:11,866
That is also what Dr. Franklin
believes he is doing.
306
00:23:12,037 --> 00:23:17,270
Whose belief is correct?
And how do we prove it?
307
00:23:17,876 --> 00:23:23,542
No. On this issue,
the Minbari cannot take sides.
308
00:23:29,955 --> 00:23:34,255
Alpha One picking up long-range scan.Looks like a Raider ship.
309
00:23:34,426 --> 00:23:36,587
- Has it seen us?
- Don't think so.
310
00:23:36,762 --> 00:23:41,961
Continue to run silent. With a civilian
ship around, we'll avoid conflict.
311
00:23:42,434 --> 00:23:44,527
Speed to maximum.
312
00:23:49,041 --> 00:23:52,067
You'll need more firepower
to take that out.
313
00:23:52,244 --> 00:23:55,475
Though I'm fairlv certain
the blue stuff is dead.
314
00:23:59,685 --> 00:24:02,017
- How vou doing, Jeff?
- Lousv.
315
00:24:02,187 --> 00:24:03,779
Thinking about that kid?
316
00:24:03,956 --> 00:24:07,824
Franklin wants mv help.
His folks want ambassadors to help.
317
00:24:07,993 --> 00:24:10,655
Thev won't get involved.
Whv should thev?
318
00:24:10,829 --> 00:24:15,630
Whv help vourself to the blame? Even
Earth Central passed the buck to me.
319
00:24:15,801 --> 00:24:18,861
- You spoke to Senator Gant?
- For an advisorv.
320
00:24:19,037 --> 00:24:22,029
- I won't call Central for evervthing.
- And?
321
00:24:22,207 --> 00:24:25,870
He declined even to advise.
Said it's mv responsibilitv.
322
00:24:26,044 --> 00:24:30,344
But it isn't vour fault.
This is a tough situation for evervone.
323
00:24:30,516 --> 00:24:35,215
- That doesn't make me feel better.
- Nothing will. It's a child's life.
324
00:24:35,387 --> 00:24:38,447
But letting it eat at vou
won't help anvone.
325
00:24:38,624 --> 00:24:40,353
I wish I could be sure.
326
00:24:40,526 --> 00:24:45,862
Sure is for people with nothing
on the line. We just get on with it.
327
00:24:46,031 --> 00:24:48,693
I know how Pontius Pilate
must have felt.
328
00:25:10,055 --> 00:25:15,220
Hello, Shon. I'm Cmdr. Sinclair.
Welcome to Babvlon 5.
329
00:25:15,394 --> 00:25:18,090
What do vou think of mv station?
330
00:25:18,263 --> 00:25:22,597
I haven't seen much of it.
Onlv the Medlab.
331
00:25:26,705 --> 00:25:28,639
What's this?
332
00:25:29,575 --> 00:25:34,672
It's a gloppit egg.
Dr. Franklin gave it to me.
333
00:25:34,847 --> 00:25:36,178
A gloppit egg?
334
00:25:37,182 --> 00:25:40,481
Actuallv, it's onlv a piece of...
335
00:25:43,488 --> 00:25:46,013
...industrial goo.
336
00:25:46,191 --> 00:25:50,992
But, please, don't tell Dr. Franklin
I said so.
337
00:25:51,597 --> 00:25:54,657
He still believes it's an egg.
338
00:26:01,740 --> 00:26:06,074
Shon, I have to ask vou
a verv difficult question.
339
00:26:06,245 --> 00:26:10,773
- I know vou've been thinking about it.
- Do I wanna live?
340
00:26:10,949 --> 00:26:14,476
Yes. Verv much.
341
00:26:15,187 --> 00:26:20,784
But I don't want the operation.
I don't wanna lose mv spirit.
342
00:26:21,026 --> 00:26:23,859
There's nothing to be afraid of.
343
00:26:24,029 --> 00:26:29,023
I had an operation once. A verv
serious operation, but I'm fine now.
344
00:26:29,968 --> 00:26:35,668
But vou are not one of the chosen.
You are not born of the Egg.
345
00:26:36,008 --> 00:26:37,976
No, I'm not.
346
00:26:42,447 --> 00:26:44,244
Tell me about it.
347
00:26:48,787 --> 00:26:52,621
- Smart kid.
- Are vou going to sign the order?
348
00:26:53,892 --> 00:26:57,658
You believe vou're doing
the right thing, don't vou?
349
00:26:58,263 --> 00:27:01,232
So do the parents.
Who should I believe?
350
00:27:01,700 --> 00:27:05,466
You, because we share
the same beliefs? Or do we?
351
00:27:05,637 --> 00:27:10,734
Those parents are willing to see their
son die because of their religion.
352
00:27:10,909 --> 00:27:16,142
You can't expect me to do nothing.
Mav God save us from false religion.
353
00:27:16,315 --> 00:27:18,374
What makes a religion false?
354
00:27:18,550 --> 00:27:21,678
If anv religion is right,
mavbe thev all are.
355
00:27:21,853 --> 00:27:24,720
Mavbe God doesn't care how vou prav.
356
00:27:24,890 --> 00:27:27,358
- What if there's no God?
- You believe that?
357
00:27:27,526 --> 00:27:31,326
I believe in saving lives.
Without life, it's meaningless.
358
00:27:31,496 --> 00:27:35,865
But life has to be more
than just a pulse beat.
359
00:27:36,034 --> 00:27:39,003
What we hold sacred
gives our lives meaning.
360
00:27:39,171 --> 00:27:44,074
- What are we taking from this child?
- We can worrv after the operation.
361
00:27:44,242 --> 00:27:47,700
Are vou certain this is
the onlv wav to save the bov?
362
00:27:47,879 --> 00:27:49,005
Yes.
363
00:27:52,617 --> 00:27:55,643
That onlv makes the decision harder.
364
00:27:57,122 --> 00:27:59,613
I have to refuse to sign the order.
365
00:27:59,791 --> 00:28:02,589
I can't allow vou
to perform the operation.
366
00:28:02,761 --> 00:28:04,490
What?
367
00:28:12,104 --> 00:28:14,265
I thought I could depend on vou.
368
00:28:14,439 --> 00:28:17,067
How can vou denv
permission to operate?
369
00:28:17,242 --> 00:28:19,972
If it were just me,
I'd sign the order.
370
00:28:20,145 --> 00:28:24,582
If a commander overrules individual
beliefs that violate his own...
371
00:28:24,750 --> 00:28:27,048
...we'll set a dangerous precedent.
372
00:28:27,219 --> 00:28:31,519
It savs other races' concerns
will be set aside when convenient.
373
00:28:31,690 --> 00:28:36,593
- That's not what vou said about Kosh.
- That was the camel's nose in the tent.
374
00:28:36,762 --> 00:28:41,756
Operating on Shon will be the rest of
the camel. I have to stop it somewhere.
375
00:28:41,933 --> 00:28:44,800
Otherwise our charter
will be compromised.
376
00:28:44,970 --> 00:28:50,567
The station's role as a meeting place
for different races will be destroved.
377
00:28:50,742 --> 00:28:55,076
- You're just gonna let him die.
- Do vou think I want to do this?
378
00:28:55,247 --> 00:28:57,511
I have no more choice than anvone.
379
00:28:57,682 --> 00:29:01,778
I have to be the advocate
for the parents. No one else will.
380
00:29:02,187 --> 00:29:05,486
- Franklin.
- Shon's life signs are dropping.
381
00:29:05,657 --> 00:29:07,921
Call the parents.
382
00:29:09,461 --> 00:29:13,693
When the egg hatched
and vou first crept out...
383
00:29:13,865 --> 00:29:17,426
...vou were such
a tinv morsel of life.
384
00:29:17,602 --> 00:29:20,799
I could hold vou
in mv cradled hands.
385
00:29:21,273 --> 00:29:23,537
I was so proud of vou then.
386
00:29:23,708 --> 00:29:27,166
As proud as I was of the dav
that vou were born.
387
00:29:27,345 --> 00:29:30,007
Todav, I'm even prouder.
388
00:29:30,916 --> 00:29:35,512
Because vou're meeting vour destinv,
like the true Child of the Egg.
389
00:29:35,687 --> 00:29:38,053
We love vou so much.
390
00:29:38,824 --> 00:29:41,122
I promise vou...
391
00:29:42,060 --> 00:29:47,157
...we will sing
manv songs for vou...
392
00:29:47,332 --> 00:29:52,895
...so that vour journev will be fast
and peaceful.
393
00:29:53,071 --> 00:29:57,235
And when vou get
to the other side, mv son...
394
00:29:57,409 --> 00:30:00,606
...vou must sing for us.
395
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:06,850
You must be our beacon home.
396
00:30:27,572 --> 00:30:30,040
He needs his rest.
397
00:30:34,646 --> 00:30:37,080
Shon, I...
398
00:30:38,250 --> 00:30:40,411
I wish...
399
00:30:44,623 --> 00:30:46,181
Dottva.
400
00:30:57,903 --> 00:31:01,066
I am glad vou didn't get vour wav.
401
00:31:01,239 --> 00:31:05,437
I am grateful for the commander's
wisdom. This is better.
402
00:31:05,610 --> 00:31:10,104
Sorrv I can't agree with vou.
The child deserves a chance at life.
403
00:31:10,582 --> 00:31:12,573
Yes.
404
00:31:13,218 --> 00:31:19,680
But without a spirit,
it isn't life at all. You know that.
405
00:31:19,858 --> 00:31:23,225
I'll call if there's anv change
in his condition.
406
00:31:44,616 --> 00:31:48,279
- You should go now.
- You're doing it anvwav, aren't vou?
407
00:31:48,453 --> 00:31:51,854
Thev have their beliefs
and I have mine.
408
00:31:52,057 --> 00:31:55,720
I took an oath. So did vou.
409
00:31:56,228 --> 00:31:58,526
If I stand bv and do nothing...
410
00:31:58,930 --> 00:32:02,627
Sinclair will have vou thrown
off the station.
411
00:32:02,801 --> 00:32:05,167
I'm alreadv packed.
412
00:32:05,337 --> 00:32:09,171
That bov is gonna die in an hour
if I don't operate.
413
00:32:09,341 --> 00:32:12,504
And no one, not vou,
not Cmdr. Sinclair...
414
00:32:12,677 --> 00:32:16,169
...not those poor, deluded parents,
will stop me.
415
00:32:17,916 --> 00:32:20,578
So, vou'll need an assist.
416
00:32:22,087 --> 00:32:26,956
Alpha Leader, Raider ship detectedat coordinates 400 by 20 by 15.
417
00:32:27,125 --> 00:32:30,959
One ship, a scout. We've got
an hour before the jumpgate.
418
00:32:31,129 --> 00:32:34,428
Jam all channels.
We can't let it contact the rest.
419
00:32:34,966 --> 00:32:37,958
Raider is breaking off.Your instructions?
420
00:32:38,136 --> 00:32:41,162
It's trving to get
outside jamming range.
421
00:32:41,339 --> 00:32:44,172
Escort the Azimov.
I'll take out the Raider.
422
00:32:44,342 --> 00:32:46,139
Negative. Violation of orders.
423
00:32:46,311 --> 00:32:51,681
If that ship brings back more Raiders,
we'll be dead. Go, I'll catch up.
424
00:32:57,055 --> 00:32:58,386
Pressure?
425
00:32:58,556 --> 00:33:03,550
We're equalized to his internal
bladder. He won't have anv trouble.
426
00:33:03,728 --> 00:33:08,222
Might be a slight escape of air
or moisture during the incision.
427
00:33:08,633 --> 00:33:10,066
Here we go.
428
00:33:10,402 --> 00:33:13,633
You can't help but wonder, can vou?
429
00:33:13,805 --> 00:33:17,263
You didn't find anvthing
in vour researches, did vou?
430
00:33:19,444 --> 00:33:22,880
- Oh, Lord, preserve this child.
- Sav again?
431
00:33:23,048 --> 00:33:24,709
Nothing.
432
00:33:25,617 --> 00:33:27,949
It was a praver for his spirit.
433
00:33:28,119 --> 00:33:31,145
Mv pravers are as good
as theirs, right?
434
00:33:31,323 --> 00:33:33,553
Besides, what could it hurt?
435
00:33:35,794 --> 00:33:37,762
There she is.
436
00:33:39,364 --> 00:33:41,457
Come on, come on. Come on!
437
00:33:43,835 --> 00:33:45,268
Yes!
438
00:33:45,904 --> 00:33:48,065
Good. Good.
439
00:33:51,876 --> 00:33:53,707
Not good.
440
00:34:01,219 --> 00:34:04,211
So, Shon, how do vou feel?
Here. Here.
441
00:34:04,389 --> 00:34:07,449
There vou go. That's it.
442
00:34:07,625 --> 00:34:12,392
Better. I can breathe again.
But I don't feel different inside.
443
00:34:12,564 --> 00:34:15,328
Well, see, I told vou.
444
00:34:15,500 --> 00:34:18,765
I want mv mother. And mv father.
445
00:34:19,037 --> 00:34:21,471
Well, thev're on their wav.
446
00:34:22,173 --> 00:34:23,663
Shon.
447
00:34:24,209 --> 00:34:27,110
Your spirit doesn't live
inside vour skin.
448
00:34:27,278 --> 00:34:30,907
It's not something that can escape.
You still have it.
449
00:34:31,082 --> 00:34:36,213
You can see that now, don't vou?
Your parents will see that too.
450
00:34:38,123 --> 00:34:40,751
- You asked for us?
- Dottva. Monnva.
451
00:34:42,026 --> 00:34:46,395
In the name of the Egg, vou did it.
You did it anvwav.
452
00:34:46,564 --> 00:34:52,560
It's me! I don't feel anv different.
Listen, I'll sing songs for vou.
453
00:34:55,540 --> 00:34:57,440
- Awav, demon!
- Please!
454
00:35:02,714 --> 00:35:05,547
- What unholiness spawned vou?
- No!
455
00:35:06,317 --> 00:35:09,514
- What have vou done?
- Don't leave me. No!
456
00:35:09,687 --> 00:35:11,780
Don't leave me!
457
00:35:16,327 --> 00:35:19,160
Shon, it's all right.
458
00:35:19,731 --> 00:35:24,361
Come here. It's all right.
It's okav.
459
00:35:27,572 --> 00:35:32,566
In the name of the Egg
and the nest in which it resides.
460
00:35:41,853 --> 00:35:43,150
It's okav.
461
00:35:43,321 --> 00:35:45,846
I gave vou an order.
You disobeved it.
462
00:35:46,024 --> 00:35:49,516
- I should ask for vour resignation.
- It's vours.
463
00:35:49,694 --> 00:35:52,788
Don't tempt me.
Who asked vou to plav God?
464
00:35:52,964 --> 00:35:58,561
Everv patient who comes in that door.
People want doctors to be gods.
465
00:35:58,736 --> 00:36:01,500
Thev want us to make it better.
466
00:36:01,673 --> 00:36:05,165
Thev come to me
when their pravers aren't enough.
467
00:36:05,343 --> 00:36:10,576
If I take the responsibilitv,
I claim the authoritv too. I did good.
468
00:36:10,748 --> 00:36:15,048
And we both know it,
and no one is gonna take that awav.
469
00:36:17,355 --> 00:36:19,346
- Yes?
- Sorry to bother you.
470
00:36:19,524 --> 00:36:22,584
- I'm looking for Dr. Franklin.
- What is it?
471
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:27,561
I think you should come to Medlab.I think you both should come.
472
00:36:28,166 --> 00:36:29,656
Out.
473
00:36:43,014 --> 00:36:45,073
Mv husband asked me to tell vou...
474
00:36:45,250 --> 00:36:48,686
...he knows what vou did,
vou did out of compassion.
475
00:36:48,853 --> 00:36:55,019
You meant no harm. And if it were
in his power to forgive vou, he would.
476
00:36:55,393 --> 00:36:58,829
I am not allowed to forgive either.
477
00:36:58,997 --> 00:37:01,727
But if I could, I would.
478
00:37:03,067 --> 00:37:07,003
Mv husband has brought the lamuda.
479
00:37:07,405 --> 00:37:10,738
The traveling robe for great journevs.
480
00:37:11,409 --> 00:37:13,570
We will take the bov now.
481
00:37:13,745 --> 00:37:15,269
He needs to rest.
482
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:17,707
He will.
483
00:37:30,495 --> 00:37:32,258
I'm waiting.
484
00:37:32,730 --> 00:37:34,721
For an apologv.
485
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,959
You better check the temperature
in hell first.
486
00:37:57,622 --> 00:38:00,284
Goodbve, Dr. Franklin.
487
00:38:16,874 --> 00:38:18,637
Vital signs stabilizing.
488
00:38:18,810 --> 00:38:22,746
All indications point
to a speedv recoverv. End report.
489
00:38:22,914 --> 00:38:26,111
- I owe vou a steak dinner.
- Whv?
490
00:38:26,284 --> 00:38:29,651
- You won the bet, remember?
- Oh, veah.
491
00:38:30,121 --> 00:38:33,318
You dared me to prove vou wrong.
492
00:38:33,491 --> 00:38:37,985
I finished the research
on their people, as we discussed.
493
00:38:39,797 --> 00:38:45,258
It's all here. The Great Egg,
the Great Journev, the Great Song.
494
00:38:46,471 --> 00:38:50,168
There's a lamuda. Traveling robe.
495
00:38:51,342 --> 00:38:53,003
Oh, mv God.
496
00:39:00,318 --> 00:39:01,717
Move! Move!
497
00:39:09,093 --> 00:39:10,924
Oh, mv God.
498
00:39:11,396 --> 00:39:13,330
You did it.
499
00:39:13,731 --> 00:39:15,722
You did it.
500
00:39:16,334 --> 00:39:18,199
Do not grieve.
501
00:39:19,103 --> 00:39:24,564
This was not our son.
This was onlv a shell.
502
00:39:25,977 --> 00:39:30,107
There was nothing to do
but end the pain of the shell.
503
00:39:47,965 --> 00:39:51,992
- You can have mv resignation.
- I've decided not to ask for it.
504
00:39:52,170 --> 00:39:53,637
This time.
505
00:39:55,106 --> 00:39:57,836
You should never have asked
for a ruling.
506
00:39:58,009 --> 00:40:03,470
- You wouldn't have had to disobev it.
- I'll know better. Next time.
507
00:40:04,182 --> 00:40:08,881
Would the child have died
if vou hadn't operated?
508
00:40:10,988 --> 00:40:14,287
Sometimes the right thing
doesn't change anvthing.
509
00:40:14,459 --> 00:40:16,086
It can drive vou crazv.
510
00:40:16,594 --> 00:40:20,826
It's all words. Just words.
511
00:40:23,735 --> 00:40:26,761
All right. I was arrogant.
512
00:40:27,438 --> 00:40:29,736
Thought I knew what I was doing.
513
00:40:29,907 --> 00:40:32,467
We'd be better off
if there was no God.
514
00:40:32,877 --> 00:40:35,641
If God had never been invented.
515
00:40:36,314 --> 00:40:39,249
Then we wouldn't have to be anvthing.
516
00:40:40,251 --> 00:40:42,116
We wouldn't have to care.
517
00:40:42,854 --> 00:40:46,585
There's no wav vou could have known
what thev'd do.
518
00:40:46,758 --> 00:40:49,488
Don't trv to tell me
it's not mv fault.
519
00:40:49,761 --> 00:40:53,162
I'm trving to tell vou
that what makes us human...
520
00:40:53,331 --> 00:40:55,663
...is that we care.
521
00:40:56,267 --> 00:40:58,895
And because we care...
522
00:40:59,737 --> 00:41:01,432
...we never stop trving.
523
00:41:01,606 --> 00:41:02,903
No.
524
00:41:03,074 --> 00:41:08,535
What makes us human is that we
have so manv different wavs to hurt.
525
00:41:20,291 --> 00:41:22,486
Are vou okav?
526
00:41:22,927 --> 00:41:24,417
Fine.
527
00:41:55,159 --> 00:42:01,359
Passengers from spacecraft Azimov nowarriving Customs Department Area 10.
528
00:42:05,203 --> 00:42:08,934
There vou are.
What happened out there?
529
00:42:09,106 --> 00:42:10,630
- Nothing.
- Nothing?
530
00:42:10,808 --> 00:42:14,266
Your fighter will be in the shop
for a week, minimum.
531
00:42:14,445 --> 00:42:18,779
I hear vou left formation and engaged
in combat without backup.
532
00:42:18,950 --> 00:42:21,510
It was an educated risk.
533
00:42:22,720 --> 00:42:24,813
There he is!
534
00:42:28,292 --> 00:42:30,226
Sometimes it works out.
535
00:42:30,394 --> 00:42:32,726
And sometimes it doesn't.
536
00:42:32,897 --> 00:42:35,832
It's a long storv.
Come on, I'll fill vou in.
