All language subtitles for Babylon.5.S01E22.WEBRip.x264-ION10

[instrumental music]

These unprovoked attacks
must stop!

The attacks will stop
when the Centauri government

stops sending hostile ships

across the border
into Narn space.

(Londo)
'Quadrant 37 is neutral
territory!'

The treaty makes that
perfectly clear.

The Narn government no longer
recognize the treaty

since it was imposed upon
our people by force.

There! You see? I told you.

They can't be trusted to abide
by their own agreements.

An agreement signed under duress

is no agreement at all, is it,
ambassador?

Gentlemen, please,
this is getting us nowhere.

Ambassador G'Kar,
your people have operated

the military base on the border
of Centauri space

for nearly five years
without incident.

Why this sudden provocation?

Our patrols are necessary

for non-planetary security.

Keep this up, G'Kar

and soon you won't have
a planet to protect.

I'll return when this council
is ready to discuss things

in a civilized fashion.

Ah!

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chatter]

Sir.

Alert Medbay.

[gasping]

Petrov! Petrov, what happened?

You gotta stop 'em.

They're gonna kill him.

They're gonna kill..

Gonna kill who?

Petrov.

Petrov!

(male narrator)
It was the dawn
of the Third Age of mankind

ten years after
the Earth-Minbari War.

The Babylon Project
was a dream given form.

Its goal,
to prevent another war

by creating a place where
humans and aliens

could work out their
differences peacefully.

It's a port of call,
home away from home

for diplomats, hustlers,
entrepreneurs and wanderers.

Humans and aliens,
wrapped in

two million five hundred
thousand tons

of spinning metal

all alone in the night.

It can be a dangerous place.

But it's our last,
best hope for peace.

This is the story of the last
of the Babylon stations.

The year is 2258.

The name of the place
is Babylon 5.

[theme music]

'I picked him up about six
months ago on petty theft.'

Not a bad guy,
just somebody who got

in over his head
with the wrong people.

I helped him out and he wanted
to repay the favor.

Since then he's been
working for me

as an informant in Downbelow.

Was he working on anything
when he was attacked?

No, I hadn't heard from him
in almost two weeks.

[beeping]

I'm sorry, by the time he got
here he lost so much blood

there was nothing we could do.

He's dead.

Damn.

He was just starting
to get it together.

Straighten out his life,
and now he..

It must've been something
really big to make him come

all this way hurting like that.

Last thing he said was,
"They're going to kill him."

- Kill who?
- I don't know.

But I'm gonna find out.

(woman on TV)
'After which the president and
his escort left the Mars colony'

'on a goodwill tour
of the outer planet colonies.'

'Sources close to the president
have hinted'

'that he'll give a major
policy speech New Year's Day'

'from the jump point on Io.'

'The speech is likely to
concern human/alien relations'

over the remainder
of his five year term.

We'll continue to bring you
more live updates

on the five planet goodwill tour

'here on the Interstellar
Network News.'

Fade.

You got any plans
for new year's Eve yet?

Well, assuming I'm not
still up to my ears

in this Narn situation,
no, no plans.

Good. Because I made
a few arrangements.

Such as?

Well, let it be a surprise,
okay?

Sure. Guess that makes two of us
with surprises.

Oh?

I was thinking the other day, uh

12, almost 15 years

that's a long time
to know someone.

I mean, sure, we got together

'split up,
gotten together again..'

Yes, it's been
quite a pony ride.

But even through
the worst of it

the fights, the years apart

I never stopped
thinking about you.

Never stopped loving you.

'I didn't know why sometimes,
I tried my best not to care'

but it never went away.

And this time I think
we finally got it right.

So now with the new year coming

I've been going over it
in my head and..

Look, do you wanna get married
or don't you?

Yes.

Well, good.

- How's April by you?
- July is better.

Alright.

- You want coffee?
- No.

[instrumental music]

Vir, how many Gods are there
in our Pantheon?

I've lost count
since the last emperor

was elevated to Godhood.

Uh, 48. No, no, 49.

Fifty, if you count Zoog,
but, you know, I never thought--

- Alright, let's say 50.
- Fifty.

Now, out of that 50,
how many Gods do you think

I must've offended
to have ended up

with G'Kar's teeth
buried so deeply in my throat

that I can barely breathe?

All of them?

Sounds right.

And now I-I have to go
back to the council

and explain to them
that in the interest of peace

the Centauri government
will agree to give

Quadrant 37 to the Narn's.

[sighs]
I think I'll stick my head

in the station's fusion reactor.

It would be quicker

and I suspect after a while
I might even come to enjoy it.

- Ambassador, why don't you--
- But this!

Th-th-this is like being

nibbled to death by, uh..

What are those earth creatures
called?

Feathers, long bill,
webbed feet, go quack?

- Cats.
- Cats.

Like being nibbled to death
by cats.

[beeping]

- Yes?
- 'Ambassador Mollari, please.'

I'm sorry, he's very busy.
Perhaps I can take a message?

Wait, Vir, let me see.

'Yes, I thought it was you.'

I trust the Eye is still safe.

Yes, with your help.
What is it?

You have a problem, ambassador.

I believe I can help.
But I think we should meet.

In the park, say, an hour?

I'll be there. One more thing.

- I never caught your name.
- Morden.

See you in an hour.

[dramatic music]

Who was that?

Someone who did me
a great favor.

More than that
you don't need to know.

You can go, Vir.

- Did you see Ambassador Kosh?
- I did.

Did you relay my question
precisely?

Word for word?

I did.

- His reaction?
- Just one word.

He said yes.

Wait for me.

[indistinct chatter]

I'm looking for anybody who
might've known Stephen Petrov?

He used to live around here,
so..

How about you?
Any of you guys know Petrov?

Come on, the guy is dead, don't
you wanna get whoever did it?

Life's cheap down here, friend.

Funny how the only time
you seem to care

is when one of your weasels
gets it.

(male #1)
'In here.'

You got something for me?

I knew Petrov. He was okay.

Yeah, he was. And now he's dead.

A lot of us we take
whatever work

we can get around the station.

So when the guys come down
they say

"We need two or five
or seven of you."

We go, and it's not easy work.

And sometimes it's not what you
would think is nice

but it beats scrounging.

Last week, one of the guys
hired us

to load cargo for transport.

What kind of cargo?

We don't ask. If it was legit,
they would use somebody else.

'After we finished,
Petrov stayed on.'

Seemed kinda funny at the time.

'Cause I could tell
the guy was trouble.

You got a name?

Devereaux.

That's all I know.

He hangs out down in the casino.

- Thanks.
- Oh, one thing.

The last time I saw Petrov was..

...just before
he went looking for you.

Whatever he saw,
whatever he knew

scared him half to death.

[intense music]

- Ambassador.
- Mr. Morden.

You never gave me a chance
to thank you

after you rescued the Eye
from those triple-damn raiders.

Unnecessary. I'm here to be
of service, ambassador.

My associates believe
that you're a person

of great potential.

Trapped in a position
where your skills are unseen

and unappreciated.

They'd like to change that.

Yes, I've heard this before.

And I have stopped listening.

There's comes a time
when you look into the mirror

and you realize
that what you see

is all that you will ever be.

Then you accept it,
or you kill yourself..

...or you stop looking
into mirrors.

No, nothing can be changed.

Then nothing's lost by trying.

'You have a problem,
Ambassador Mollari.'

Quadrant 37. We can fix it
for you, if you let us.

A heavily guarded
Narn military outpost

and you and your associates
are going to fix it? For me?

[Londo laughing]

You have a very peculiar
sense of humor.

Yes, I do.

Tell your government

that you will personally
take care of Quadrant 37.

They'll think I'm drunk
or insane.

Perhaps.

And you don't want credit

for this grand endeavor?

No. We're simply here to help.

Good day, ambassador.

Mr. Morden, if I may ask.

What is the price for this help?

'No price, ambassador.'

But at some point in the future

if we deliver on our promises,
we may come to you

and ask you for a favor.
That's all.

[steam hissing]

[instrumental music]

I have come, as I said I would.

[breathes deeply]

Kosh, I have great doubts.

I must know if it's true.

I must see with my own eyes.

Yes.

Thank you.

Now I will keep the promise.

Goodbye.

You will not see me again
as I am now.

(male #2)
'Alright! A winner!'

[indistinct chatter]

Mr. Devereaux?

Security Chief Garibaldi. I'd
like to ask you a few questions.

Look, I'm busy right now.
Maybe later.

I understand you hired
a lurker recently

name of Stephen Petrov.

I hire a lot of people.

Names, faces,
I don't keep track.

Fine, then you'll come down
to security

and we'll show you a picture.
Maybe that'll jog your memory.

- I don't have time for this.
- Make time.

Alright. Fine, fine.

Big mistake, hotshot.

You shouldn't poke around
in things you don't understand.

This is too big for you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm shakin' in my boots.

Now, move it.

Uh, ambassador, we just had
a message from Centauri Prime.

They wanna know if you've
relayed their decision

to the advisory council.

No. No, I haven't.

And I'm not going to.

Ah, that should go over well.

Send a reply to Homeworld.

Tell them..

Tell them that I will
personally take care

of the problem in Quadrant 37.

Alright, I'll.. What?

Is there something wrong
with your hearing?

No, it's just for a moment
I thought I had

entered an alternate universe
or something.

Ambassador, are you sure
you're feeling alright?

Vir, I am quite sober.

Send the message.

[intense music]

[beeping]

(computer)
'Opening communication channel
to Centauri Prime.'

'Please stand by.'

[beeping]

Enter.

'Commander, it's late.'

I know,
I just thought I'd try once more

to settle the Quadrant 37
situation.

I'm afraid the ambassador
is resting.

He's rather fatigued
from his heavy schedule.

Perhaps if you came back.

I believe the ambassador
can see you now.

Ah, Sinclair,
what a joy to see you again.

What can I do for you?

You can start by giving
the Centauri

some room to maneuver.

Ah, back to that again, are we?

As far as I'm concerned
this is a dead issue.

We have to keep pushing forward.

'G'Kar, you once told me
that before the Centauri came'

Narn was an agrarian world,
a peaceful world.

In order to be free,
you had to learn to fight.

No one questions that.
But you've overcompensated.

You're like abused children
who've grown big enough

to do the same thing
to someone else.

As if that'll somehow
balance the scales. It won't.

If you let your anger
cloud your judgment

it'll destroy you.

We know what we're doing.

Anything else, commander?

Just that I've had
this feeling lately.

That we're standing
at a crossroads.

And I don't like
where we're going.

But there's still time
to choose another path.

'You can be part of that
process, G'Kar.'

'Choose wisely.'

Not just for the Centauri,
but for the good

of your own people as well.

We all do what we have to.

It's late. Please go now.

[door hissing]

So, what's the occasion?

Who says there has to be
an occasion

to invite you to join us
for dinner?

I didn't get to be
head of security

because of my good looks.

So? What's up?

We need you to do a job for us.

No problem, give me the guy's
name and I'll lean on him.

Not that kind of job.

I think the official title
is best man.

Best.. You two?

And I'll need a maid of honor.
I don't really know anyone here.

- So, if you wouldn't mind.
- I'd be honored.

Congratulations.

This is great.
After all this time.

I'm glad things
are working out for ya.

It's funny,
I was thinking the other day

about all the things
we've gone through.

'Good times and bad and..'

Look, you know me,
I'm not very good at this

but I just wanted you to know

I've always been proud
to be your friend, Jeff.

And I'm honored
to be your best man.

'Hell, I'm honored to be best
at anything.'

[laughing]

Never fails.
Garibaldi. What?

(male #3)
'Chief, the prisoner
you brought in'

'Edgar Devereaux,
he's missing.'

Missing? What the hell do you
mean he's missing?

(male #3)
'I don't know, sir,
he's just gone'

'along with the two men
who were with him.'

Alright, on my way.

I knew there was more
to this Devereaux guy

than meets the eye.

I checked the weapon
I took off him.

Every PPG has a serial number
stamped on the inner coil.

The coils are Morbidium alloy,
harder than diamond

so the number can't be removed.

But his PPG
didn't have a number.

You're saying he found a way
to remove it?

(Garibaldi)
'I'm saying it was never there.'

Only special agents
in EarthForce Security

get unnumbered PPGs.

But this guy's name
wasn't on file.

And now he's gone.

I don't like this, Jeff.
I don't like this a lot.

[instrumental music]

(male #4)
'Perimeter guard to base.
Nothing to report.'

- Sector is clear.
- 'Acknowledged.'

- Report to..
- Base? Repeat.

[whirring]

[intense music]

[zapping]

[explosion]

[zapping]

[whirring]

Any more ships due in
for a while?

Negative.

(woman on TV)
'..at which time
the vice president'

'disembarked EarthForce One.'

'He is currently undergoing
medical tests'

'while the president continues
en route to Jupiter.'

Reports indicate
that the vice president

is suffering from
a viral infection

and hopes to catch up with the
tour as it returns from Io.

Chief.

I thought I left you
watching the store?

You know how this place gets
on New Year's Eve.

Ah, it's quiet up there.

Figured I'd see if I could help.
What've we got?

Devereaux hired Petrov
to load crates for transport.

One shipment never made it out
due to engine problems.

Thought I'd see
what was so important.

What's the manifest say?

Uh, medical supplies,
bandages, that sort of thing.

Wouldn't it be better
to try and find Devereaux?

We'll find him,
meanwhile with any luck

this'll tell us what scared
Petrov like that.

Medical supplies?
I don't think so.

Look like some kind of
transmitters.

That's weird.
They're set to broadcast static.

They're powerful enough to flood
whatever channel they're using.

Blank it out, sort of a poor
man's jamming device.

What's that?

Some kind of triangulation
system.

Helps determine optimum
placement for the transmitters.

Location is set for

grid 0-0-1 by 5 by 9.

That would put it just off
the transfer point on Io.

What's the frequency
on that transmitter?

Uh.. Can't make it out.

Here, let me see that.

1-0-1-0-1-0-5.

That's the gold channel
frequency for EarthForce One.

Why would someone want
to jam the president's..

Oh, my God.

- Garibaldi to Sinclair.
- 'Sinclair here.'

Commander, we've got a problem.
Ultraviolet priority!

Meet me in the briefing room
in 20 minutes.

- 'What is it?'
- Not over the link.

I'll tell you when I see you.

Guard those boxes
with your life.

Don't let anything
happen to them.

'Will do.'

This is Blue Alpha. Stand by.

[dramatic music]

I told you not to poke around

in things that are
too big for you.

Yeah, well, that's a little
late for that.

- Now, up against the wall.
- I think not.

[zapping]

[intense music]

- Sinclair to C&C.
- 'On line.'

I thought I'd check my quarters
incase Garibaldi doubled back.

Still no sign of him.
I don't like it.

(C&C)
'Agreed, he wouldn't call
for an ultraviolet alert'

'and then vanish, unless..'

I know. Keep trying to raise him
on the link.

Let me know
as soon as you hear anything.

(C&C)
'Confirmed.'

[beeping]

Come.

Michael, where the hell..

Hello.

I believe you recognize this.

[instrumental music]

Yes.

You remember what happened
at the Battle of the Line

'don't you?'

'You remember being taken
aboard our ship.'

Only a little.

Fragments. Images.

I don't know what it all means.

I suspected as much.

We have a lot to discuss,
commander.

By coming to you, I'm putting
both our lives at risk.

But there are things
you should know.

[sighs]
This isn't a good..

We can't find Garibaldi.

I understand.

Come to my quarters
and I'll tell you..

...as much as I can.

But don't wait too long,
commander.

Certain things
have been set in motion..

...and I do not have much time.

[intense music]

[groaning]

Ambassador?

What is it, Na'Toth?

The outpost in Quadrant 37
is gone.

What do you mean, gone?
You can't establish contact?

That's what we thought at first.

So Homeworld sent out
a ship to investigate.

'The entire outpost
has been destroyed'

every building leveled.

Three heavy cruisers
in near orbit, gone.

- Fighters, gone.
- How?

- The outpost records?
- 'Destroyed.'

Survivors?

None.

Ten thousand of our best
warriors, dead.

It's as if some great hand
reached out of space and..

...just erased them.

It wasn't the humans.

The Centauri don't have
the will.

The Vorlons don't care.

'The Minbari wouldn't do it.'

'The other worlds
aren't powerful enough'

'for a strike like this.'

[instrumental music]

There's someone else out there,
Na'Toth.

[groaning]

(all)
Six, five, four

three, two, one!

[cheering]
Happy New Year!

I remember last year,
it was great.

Yeah.

[screaming]

Are you sure there's
no other way?

What must happen will happen.

Valen said this day would come.

Who are we to stand
in the way of prophecy?

But what if you're wrong?

Then speak well of me
when I'm gone.

[instrumental music]

[whirring]

If he comes, it must be soon.

'We have little time.'

Blood pressure 60 over 10,
respiration 30, pulse 120.

Prep Isolab for surgery.
Let's get those patches here.

- Stop the bleeding. Stat!
- How bad is it?

It's bad. Extensive thermal
tissue damage.

Massive damage to the kidney,
the pancreas and the spleen.

You set?
Alright, let's turn him.

One, two, three. Oh! Move.

- Alright, hook him up.
- 'Will he make it?'

I'm not sure.

We can't operate
until we stabilize him.

Command..

Commander..

It's alright, Michael. I'm here.
You'll be okay.

- Got to..
- Lie still.

No, they're going to..

...going to kill
the president..

...at the transfer point on Io.

Warn.. Warn..

We're losing him!
Stand by on morphozine!

Let's get those injectors ready.
Let's go.

- 'Move, move, move!'
- 'Comin' through.'

(female #1)
As EarthForce One
moves into position

silhouetted against
the surface of Jupiter.

It's a sight guaranteed
to impress voters.

Have you gotten through
to EarthForce One yet?

Conventional channels
are being jammed.

Started about five minutes ago.

What about the gold channels?

The same, they're jamming
all military

transmission around Jupiter.

- Re-route to civilian channels.
- Re-routing.

Get Earth Central online.

All I'm getting
is a recorded message from

the Tachyon relay station
from Proxima.

Are we still getting the ISN
feed?

- Yes, sir.
- Put it on-screen.

And keep working
on the civilian channels.

If we can get through to ISN,
maybe they can warn them.

There it is.

It is our understanding
that the president

was scheduled to begin
his New Year's day speech

ten minutes ago.

'So far there's been no word
from EarthForce One'

'on the reason for the delay.'

'According to ISN sources
in Earthdome'

'the speech is expected
to contain..'

Just a minute.

We're picking up
an emergency signal now.

[explosion]

[dramatic music]

(woman on TV)
'A-are we still on the air?'

'Station Io is dispatching
hospital ships'

'but it doesn't seem possible..'

Shut it off.

...anyone could've survived

that kind of..

Shut it off.

(Sinclair)
'Dr. Franklin thinks
they can begin the operation'

'in about five hours.'

'Even under good conditions'

'the odds of survival are
50/50.'

Garibaldi mentioned a name.
Devereaux.

Check all outgoing ships.
Find him.

I want guards posted here
around the clock

plus 24 hour a day
medical observation.

There's always the chance that
whoever started this job

will try to finish it.

I won't allow that to happen.
Understood?

Understood.

[intense music]

[whimpering]

I was looking for the commander.

- 'He's in Medlab.'
- Mr. Garibaldi?

We won't know for a while yet.

I came to tell him that there
seems little point

to another council meeting
to discuss Quadrant 37.

We imagine you've heard by now.

Yes, a little while ago.

Any clues yet as to who did it?

No. None.

My condolences
on the death of your president.

This has been a black day
for both of us

Lieutenant Commander Ivanova.

'A black and terrible day.'

We will find
whoever is responsible

for the destruction of our base.

And we will retaliate.

Though our two races
have had our troubles..

...I wish you luck
in your own quest for justice.

May the guilty be found
and punished.

Ambassador,
you wanted to see me?

Yes. What have you done?

Only what you asked me to do.

You had a problem with Quadrant
37, we took care of it for you.

Yes, but you killed
10,000 Narns.

I didn't know you cared.

Ten thousand,
a hundred thousand,

a million,
what's the difference?

They're Narns, ambassador,
your sworn enemy.

Yes, I know,
but I didn't think..

I thought that you might find
a way to protect our ships

o-o-or cripple their forces,
not..

[shushing]

'Ambassador, your name
is being spoken'

at the highest levels
of the Centauri government.

They don't know how you did it,
they don't care.

They credit you, with saving
them from another embarrassment

'without creating a war
in the process.'

They've noticed you, ambassador.

Which was the point
of the exercise.

'I hear they have
great plans for you.'

Yes, but 10,000 in cold blood?

Ambassador, you're a hero.
Enjoy it.

I'll be around.

I understand your concern,
but at the moment

there's nothing to support
your theory.

'Everything we've found
points to'

a malfunction in EarthForce
One's fusion reactor.

- It was an accident.
- Senator.

My chief of security was shot

on the course
of an investigation.

'He's lying in the isolab
right now.'

And it's even money
as to whether or not

he ever walks out again.

The last thing he said was that

they were going to kill
the president.

Commander,
I consider it very unlikely

that your security chief
would just stumble

across something our best agents
didn't know about.

- You're not listening.
- I am listening, commander.

You're just not saying anything
worth hearing.

I won't have you
causing a panic

by spreading
unsubstantiated rumors.

'You are ordered
to maintain silence'

'on this matter, commander.'

What's up?

I found those men the
commander's been looking for.

Tried to take them in for
questioning, they resisted.

'Lead guy took a shot at me.
I returned fire. Self-defense.'

PPG's cold.

If he'd fired,
it'd still be warm.

You have a point to make?

No.

Everyone knows these things
cool off pretty fast down here.

Get him into the freezer.

- 'Blood pressure, respiration?'
- It's weak, but holding.

This is as good
as we're ever going to get it.

Let's proceed.

Following confirmation
of the death

of Earth Alliance President
Luis Santiago

Vice President Morgan Clark
was sworn in as president.

'The ceremony took place aboard
EarthForce Two'

'now en route back to Earth.'

I, Morgan William Clark,
do hereby swear

to uphold the laws
of the Earth Alliance

and to perform
the role of president

to the best of my abilities.

(woman on TV)
'In a later statement,
President Clark had this to say'

'about the death
of President Santiago.'

(Clark)
'It is important that we
move on to create the world'

that Luis Santiago
would've wanted

for his children, my children

and for posterity yet to come.

We will begin by focusing
more on the needs

of our own people,
to sustain them

through this difficult time

'and to prepare them
for the tasks ahead.'

And so it begins.

You have forgotten something?

Delenn.

Message delivery start.

Na'Toth, by the time you get
this message I will be gone.

I have certain suspicions about
the attack on Quadrant 37.

I'm taking the first transport
back to Homeworld.

You will not be able to contact
me. I will contact you.

And, uh, one more thing.

Tell the commander..

...he was right.

We were at a crossroads,
and there is no going back.

Expect me when you see me.

I just heard,
is the commander..

I just relieved him. He'll be
back on watch in four hours.

How is he?

They're still operating. It's
taking longer than expected.

Well, if you don't mind,
I would like to wait with you.

He is an annoying man

but I would miss him if he..

[instrumental music]

Yes. I think he's ready.

He's perfect for our needs.

No.

No.

He suspects nothing.

When the time is right..

...Ambassador Mollari
will do exactly as we wish.

Destiny is on our side.

[instrumental music]

Nothing's the same anymore.
