All language subtitles for Babylon.5.S04E11.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.264-NTb_Subtitles01_Unnamed.ENG

As reports continue to come in
about the harsh conditions

aboard what was once the shining
beacon of Earthforce, Babylon 5

messages smuggled out
indicate that humans continue

to be subjected
to cruel oppression

'by alien groups
aboard the renegade outpost'

'and every day
more people are asking'

'"When will Earth intervene?'

'"How much longer can
we allow our citizens'

'to endure this mistreatment?"'

Why do you keep
watching that garbage?

You know it just upsets you.

I'm gathering intelligence.

You're winding yourself up
like a cheap watch.

It helps me focus.

You heard that part
about intervention?

'They are laying a foundation
for another assault'

only this time
it will look like a, uh

a rescue mission
instead of an unprovoked attack.

So how long until they move?

I don't know.

Not for a while yet.

They'll keep the war drums
going as long as they can

whip everyone up back home,
turn them against us.

- 'Commander.'
- Thanks.

We're getting a signal
from Dr. Franklin on Mars.

It's weak. It's barely
even getting past the jammers.

Uh, put it through.

I repeat, this is lost lamb
to big, bad wolf.

Do not respond.
I repeat, do not respond.

We have arranged
a meeting with the board

who send its regards.

We are continuing on schedule
and hope to come home soon.

We will check in again
at pre-arranged time

on second coded frequency.

I repeat, board meeting is on.

Well, that was good and cryptic.

Well, keeping the transmission
short cuts down on the risk

of it being tracked back here

and as long as
Babylon 5 doesn't respond

there's no way anyone can know
who the message was meant for.

If Clark knew that someone
from Babylon 5 was here..

- He'd go fusion.
- Oh, big time.

The important thing is,
the captain knows we're set

to meet with the rest
of the Resistance

as soon as they arrive.

I hope it does some good.

Some of the others
aren't as reasonable as I am.

In case you hadn't noticed,
Earthforce

is closing
the noose around us.

We estimate they'll capture
the rest of Mars

by the end of the year,
unless something is done.

I'm worried some
of the others will start

getting more aggressive.

Stephen,
there's been an explosion

at the Red Planet Hotel,
took out a security force

from Earth.

'They say
it's a terrorist attack'

by the Resistance.

Ten civilians
were killed in the attack.

And also,
there have been more attacks

against transport ships
along our border, Delenn.

Not against our own ships,
but the smaller world

we've been aligned
for centuries.

The Norsai have been
the hardest hit.

But we have always
guaranteed their protection.

Why haven't our ships been sent
to help them?

With the Grey Council no more

the three castes
are mainly concerned

with protecting
their own interests.

The Alliance Norsai
was initiated

by the Religious Caste.

Now that the war is over..

...the Warrior Caste
are refusing to help.

Do you know who's responsible
for these attacks?

No. So we have sent
for more information.

Perhaps the situation
is not as bad as

the reports have indicated.

It was the year of fire.

The year of destruction.

The year we took back
what was ours.

It was the year of rebirth.

The year of great sadness.

The year of pain.

And the year of joy.

It was a new age.

It was the end of history.

It was the year
everything changed.

The year is 2261.

The place..

Babylon 5.

John.

Delenn,
I was just about to call you.

I was wondering if you'd like
to have dinner tonight.

- I can't.
- What?

Lately, there have been
a number of attacks

against several worlds
on the border of Minbari space.

Since the Warrior Caste
will not act

I have to look into it.

Oh, that's interesting timing.

There have been similar attacks
outside Pak'ma'ra space.

And I guess it was inevitable.

Everyone suffered
heavy losses during the war.

It was only a matter of time
before someone tried

to take advantage of that
by sending out raiding parties.

But to attack
without provocation.

The Norsai are
a peaceful Agrarian people

who have relied
on our protection for centuries.

So I'm going
to take out the flight

of White Star ships
to investigate.

Since it was a Religious Caste
that promised them protection

I have an obligation.

Well, can't you send out
Lennier?

It might be dangerous.

John, it pleases me
that you care

for what I have become..

...but never forget who I was

what I am, and what I can do.

You're right.

Alright. Go ahead.

I'll see you
when you get back.

We have to let
Donovan know everything

went according to plan,
do you understand?

What have you done..

What? What did I do?

Out! This is private.

- 'What did I do?'
- Out!

You know damn well
what you did.

That bombing was unauthorized.

I checked with Donovan!

Donovan's Earthside!

Whatever he may think,
he doesn't run the Resistance.

Mars is my territory,
and you don't pull

this kind of crap
without authorization.

I saw the security squad
checkin' in.

There wasn't time!

A call takes ten seconds.

Do you know what I can do
to you in ten seconds?

In ten seconds,
I can cripple you for life.

In ten seconds,
I can break your skull open

and scoop out your brains
for catfood!

I've got ten dead civilians
on the deck, Phillipe

and they're going
to hold me responsible.

They'll be looking for me
long after you go home to Earth.

I don't care
what you do back home

but here, you answer to me,
and you don't do anything.

You don't breathe,
you don't move

and you don't blow things up
unless you check with me first!

Clear?

Tell me,
is this how you treat

all your former lovers?

As a matter of fact, yes.

Whatever you've got to say,
it damn well better be worth it.

- Huh!
- Looks upset.

- Think it's something we said?
- Hope not.

I'd sooner face
an entire shadow fleet

than what just walked past us.

Sorry.

Still can't get used
to the time difference here.

Must be past midnight
back at the station

everybody all asleep
in their beds.

At which time,
we hope to present a series

on Minbari War syndrome,
and examine how it can affect

some of our war veterans.

They will explain how someone
with as noted a reputation

as Captain Sheridan could go
from war hero

to alien collaborator
without realizing the damage

he's doing to his own world.

Up yours,
you lying sack of..

..our continuing report,
we will examine

in greater detail
the mistreatment of humans

trapped on Babylon 5.

Our job, as always,
is simply to state the facts

and let the truth attend
to itself.

Leave me alone.

Can't I get just one night

of uninterrupted
sleep around here?

Aah!

Lights.

Low.

- Yes?
- 'Susan, it's me.'

Open.

I've got it.
Dammit, Susan, I've got it!

What?

Look, if they
wanna play games, well, fine.

We can play games too,
only we can play 'em better

because we've got
the truth on our side.

You can't kill the truth.

Actually,
you can kill the truth

but it always comes back
to haunt you later.

- Hello?
- Come on. I'll show you.

I, I think
we can make this work.

- Uh, John?
- What?

Uh, don't you think
I better change first?

Oh, yeah. Right.
Uh, sorry.

I, I hadn't noticed.

Thanks, I'll just..
Wait a minute.

What do you mean
you didn't notice?

I mean,
what am I, chopped flarn?

I mean, okay, granted

I don't have
any interest in you

you don't have
any interest in me

but if you're gonna come
barging in here

in the middle of the night,
the least you could say

is, "Nice outfit, Ivanova"

and then go on a tear.

Yeah, uh,
nice outfit, Ivanova.

You are such a..

Yeah. Yeah, this will work.

John, I've been here before.

For this, you woke me up?

Why not?
You gave me the idea.

Look, I'm, I'm just gonna sit
over here until you tell me

what the hell
you're talking about.

During the last
phase of the war

you were on the BabCom system

updating everyone
on evacuations, safe zones

rescues,
which planets had fallen.

Yes, I know. I hated it.

You were great at it.

'You have a face people trust.'

I'd rather
have a face people fear.

Well, that too, but see

it occurred to me
that if we could do that here

on a small scale,
why not on a larger scale?

I mean, ever since
we broke away from Earth

solid information has been
rare as gold.

We had to rely
on smuggled data crystals

rumors, stories.

'All they have to go
on back home'

'is what ISN tells them.'

So, why not solve
two problems at the same time?

Why not come up
with a way that we can turn

the War Room into,
I don't know, uh..

The voice of the Resistance.

Susan, during World War II,
the French Resistance

used to go on the air
for one hour a night

always
from a different location

broadcasting the real news
about the war

'providing intelligence
for the resistance fighters'

encouraging
the Germans to defect.

Well, why can't we do
the same thing here?

Why do I get
the ugly suspicion

that you're volunteering me
for this job?

I accept your offer.

Now, you go get some sleep

and we will talk
about this again tomorrow.

If he weren't
my commanding officer

I swear I'd shoot him dead.

You've been up
for some time, Delenn.

You should sleep.

I will.

I was thinking.

I'm very disturbed
by what you told me

about the Warrior Caste.

Since the war,
I haven't been paying

as much attention
to the events back home

as I should have.

How is it?

The Grey Council was the force
that held us together, Delenn.

That is why Valen created it.

Each caste
had an equal voice.

Without it,
it has become difficult

and there have been rumors.

It is said
that the Warrior Caste

are trying to form
a new council of its own.

I've heard in the cities
of Sikar and Dronya

where once the three castes
lived together peacefully.

The Warrior Caste
have forced out our caste

driving them
to the wastelands.

'At least, that is the rumor.'

Do you believe it?

Dukhat says,
when there is good news

we always ask if it is true

because it is so difficult
to believe.

But when there is bad news,
we rarely inquire

because it is so easy
to believe.

So, yes, Delenn, I do believe

'but I very much wish
that I did not.'

Alright, I want to thank
all of you for coming.

I know that getting here
was difficult for most of you

considering the extent
to which President Clark

has been restricting travel.

Captain Sheridan has asked me
to convey several messages.

First, to express
the outrage we all feel

about how Mars
has been treated.

I guess so.

'Now, it was Clark's decision'

'to bomb civilian targets
that prompted our decision'

to secede from the Alliance.

That and a small fleet
of ships coming your way.

It's just a little easier
to make the grand gesture

when someone is pointing a gun
at your head. Yes?

Now, that's just not fair!

No one's forgotten
that Sheridan helped put down

the food riots
after the Minbari War.

A lot of people here
still haven't forgotten that.

The point is the captain

is willing to set aside
all differences

and focus on what needs
to be done now.

And right now you need
all the allies you can get.

He wants you to know
that we have not forgotten

Mars or Proxima III.

We are putting together
a coalition that will

move against Clark
at the appropriate time

and he wants your support..

...provided that you do
understand that this is directed

against the person,
not the position.

I know, what are you taking
us for? What are you selling?

Some of you
want to overthrow EarthGov

as payment
for what it's done to you.

Fair enough.

I was raised on Arisia colony

which was sucked dry
by Earth taxes and ruined

by Earth corporations,
so I sympathize

but if you go that way,
you'll lose any support

you might have back home
and jeopardize

the greater mission,
getting rid of Clark.

Now, towards that end,
the captain wants you to stop

bombing civilian targets.

It does no good,
and it never has.

We have to send a message!

You are! You are,
but it's the wrong message!

It makes everyone
back home more sympathetic

to Clark's position.

You're driving people away
when you shouldbe trying

to bring them around
to our side.

You talk about our side,
but we haven't seen much help

coming from Babylon 5 lately.

Sorry, been a trifle busy
lately with a little war

that threatened to wipe out
this entire sector

and before you think
it's got nothing to do with you

the creature we found
on one of your people

when we got here
would seem to indicate

that the forces
behind that war

are also responsible
for some of the problems here.

Now, we need to know
that we can rely on you

to carry out any instruction
from Babylon 5

over the next several months
without question

no matter how strange
they may sound.

We need you to trust us,
and we need you to be patient.

Hold off on the bombings
for a while.

Is that all you have to say?

No.

Captain Sheridan
gave me one last message.

He said, I know we are asking
a great deal of you

but in exchange
for your cooperation

you have my guarantee
that when this is all over

Mars will finally be recognized
as an independent state.

And we're supposed to believe
one man saying this?

- Yes! If it's the right man.
- Oh, yeah!

And what if I said
I'd sprout wings

and fly to New York, huh?

In your case,
I'd say you were crazy

but if Sheridan said it,
I'd tell him to stop off

on the west side
and pick me up some bagels!

This is what you have been
fighting and dying for

and you are no closer
to your goal now than before!

Clark's forces
will keep closing in on you

whether you sign up
with us or not

and in six months,
the Resistance will be dead!

Now, we're
offering you a chance.

We'll give you support
and a real target

which is a hell of a lot better
than bombing civilian targets

on your way to the gallows.

This is the location
where most of the attacks

have taken place.

Are you receiving anything,
Lennier?

I'm picking up
a distress signal.

Scanners indicate it's
a Pak'ma'ra military transport.

Put us on course.
Do we have visual?

Putting it through.

Translate.

'Winshakarr to any ships'

'are being attacked.
Please help!'

All ships, attack formation!

Engines hit.

Life support
no longer functioning.

Dark enemy.

This is Delenn of the Minbari.
We are en route.

How many ships
are attacking you?

Too many. Too many.

It's gone.

Are we close enough to pick up
the ships that attacked it?

Yes.

On-screen.

Be careful, Delenn.

We don't know
the reasons for the attack

and we've never seen any ships
like those before.

I was there at the first contact
with Dukhat, Lennier.

Do not make
such mistakes twice.

Open a channel.

White Star fleet
to attacking ships.

Identify yourselves.

- Can you translate?
- No.

I'm sending Interlac alphabet
and language codes

on a clear channel.
This may take a moment.

- Delenn--
- In a moment, Forell.

- 'White Star Minbari.'
- Yes.

Who are you?

- 'Drakh.'
- Drakh?

Is that your name
or the name of your species?

'Yes.'

Delenn, there's a problem.

We are not translating that.

It's coming through in Minbari.

But you said you sent them
our language codes.

No. I sent them Interlac.
It's easier to translate.

They're using our language,
but I didn't send it to them.

But how can that be..

...unless, unless they've had

some prior contact
with our people.

Do not move, Delenn.

Forell, you would threaten me?

Only as necessary.

Minbari do not kill Minbari.

I do not need to kill you
to cause you pain.

Why are you doing this?

To prevent you
from acting against them

till you've heard
what we have to say.

And then what?

That is up to you..

...and them.

Tell the other ships
to follow us.

Well?

I'll give you this much.

You can be pretty convincing
when you want to be.

They still have to check back
with their own people

but for now
you got their support.

And mine.

Because I think
we can trust you

even if you are a liar.

I don't know
what you're talking about.

Come on, Franklin.

Don't play me for stupid.
I was there.

'You didn't know
about the bombings'

'until you got here.'

'ISN isn't airing
that information outside Earth.'

They don't want to encourage
anyone else to do the same.

So if you didn't know
about the bombings

how could you carry a message
from Sheridan about it?

Well, I, uh..

Couldn't.

But I know the captain
wouldn't like it

any more than you do,
and since you were having

a hard time with the others,
I thought--

You thought you'd give me
a little outside support.

Yeah.

So, like I said, you're a liar

but you're my kind of liar.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

I was there too, you know.
Didn't thank me.

Well, you were the one
that always told me

that being a ranger
is a thankless job.

Yeah, I know, but it wouldn't
hurt once in a while

just for the sheer
change of pace.

Ask me,
I think she likes you.

Nah, come on.
No, it's just business.

- That's all.
- 'Stephen..'

Look, I was just, just
helping her out

of a difficult situation,
that's all.

Fifty credits
says that's not all

she wants you
to help her out of.

Oh, come on,
Marcus, you are such a..

- 'Romantic?'
- Yeah.

We're still in a war here,
Stephen.

Only now,
it's a different kind of war.

Maybe the worst of the two.

It's hard to know
who to trust.

Situation like this
makes you afraid.

Makes you want
to reach out to someone

who may just feel
the same way as you do

about things,
who might be willing

to risk this much
to help you

when the rest of the world
couldn't give a damn.

Oh, Franklin,
I almost forgot

since it was your hotel
that was bombed this morning

you're on your own.

Maybe you'd like to join me
for dinner tonight.

I can't promise much,
but it'll be the best

we can pull together.

Sure.

We're a little short-handed
on guard duty tonight

if you could help out..

Love to.

That'll be 50 credits.

Oh, no, no,
don't you start with me, Marcus.

- Don't.
- Come on, you cheap bastard.

- Marcus, look..
- Oh, sorry.

Got to go. Guard duty.

Touch passion
when it comes your way, Stephen.

It's rare enough as it is.

Don't walk away
when it calls you by name.

- How much further?
- This is far enough.

We're here.

These Drakh. Who are they?

Friends.

Tell 'em to allow
the life pod on board.

He will not be armed.

You have my word.

Who are you?

Are you a Drakh?

Emissary.
Speak for Drakh.

I brought you another.

This one is important.

She can be of great help to us.

- Her name is--
- Unimportant.

Tell.

What I told you
before was true.

The Warrior Caste has formed
a council of its own.

With the Grey Council gone,
there's nothing

to hold them in check
except them.

'You cannot use them
to attack our own people.'

That is not my intent.
Listen to me, please.

My family was at Sikar
when the Warrior Caste

decided it no longer
wished to share its resources.

They were driven out,
their personal flyers destroyed

and forced to walk
to the next city.

But Sikar is on the edge
of the Southern Polar Region.

Most of them died
from cold and exposure

before reaching Drogani.

My family did not survive.

Minbari do not kill Minbari

but when it is the elements,
the night, the cold..

...well, is that truly murder?

I didn't know, Forell.

I'm sorry.

The word is now only spreading

but the others don't believe
it could happen to us.

But it is just how it happened
in the days before Valen.

Because they didn't believe,
they will not act.

If we allow the Warrior Caste
to take control of Minbari

it will be too late.

We must have allies..

...even if we do not use them,
that they exist at all will make

the Warrior Caste reconsider.

So you have gone to outsiders.

'What other choice is there?'

'You have these ships,
but you are still outnumbered.'

'The Drakh can help.'

They've offered us
protection in exchange

for allowing them to move
into several deserted worlds

along our borders.

We do not give shelter
to thieves

who prey on innocent ships.

They only use force
against military vessels

who threaten them first.

Their presence along the border
will help keep us safe

in case we once again
descend into the chaos

of Civil War.

The Drakh
want peaceful relations.

They want only a place to have
for their own because--

Because they have just
lost their home.

Yes.

'There was an evacuation..'

'...some kind of
natural disaster, they said.'

This homeworld of yours..

...did it have a name?

Yes.

What was it?

Home.

I'm sorry if I had to force
you to come here

but there was no other way.

And if the others
should hear of this

then you can
tell them truthfully

that you were forced to come.

I could not have harmed you

but it was important
that you see them for yourself.

We can be the salvation
of our society.

'You belong
to the Grey Council.'

'You can take their offer
to the Religious Caste.'

They will respect you.

I will consider your offer.

Tell the others
that we will meet here

again in seven days.

I will give you
my answer then.

They know.

Thank you. You will not
regret this, Delenn.

Delenn.

You didn't tell them
who you were bringing?

No. There wasn't time.

Tell the other ships
to stand by.

Let me know as soon as
the emissary has left.

- Why are you--
- Don't you understand?

Sheridan and I
defeated the Shadows

drove them and their allies
from Z'ha'dum

which was then destroyed.

They worked
for the Shadows, Forell

and now you brought me
right into the middle of them.

No. You must have be mistaken.

- It's possible--
- No.

I felt it
as soon as I saw him.

I have been to Z'ha'dum.
I saw the evacuation.

We defeated their masters,
and now they seek

to become masters themselves
and destroy those

who defeated the Shadows.

Now that they know, who I am

they will attack as soon as
it is safe to do so.

The Drakh shuttle is leaving.

Can we open a jump point,
escape before they can attack?

No, they would detect
the energy spike

and destroy us before
we could enter hyperspace.

But we can outrun them.
We're faster than they are.

Once we're moving, yes,
but we have to fight inertia

to gain top speed, and that
will take several seconds.

Several seconds is all
they will need to destroy us.

What are they waiting for?

We've drifted closer
to their mother ship.

If they attack at this range,
they'll damage it.

Let us use that against them.

Lennier, have you ever seen the
Warrior Caste training flights?

Yes.

Have you seen
them skin dancing?

- I have.
- Can you do the same thing?

Not without approximately five
years of additional training.

That would be no then.

But I can program
the parameters into the ship's

artificial intelligence matrix.

And what do you do then?

Touch that button
and pray very, very fast.

Start working.

Move us away
from the other ships slowly.

Let them think
we are leaving as planned.

Enemy weapon systems
are powering up.

- Have they locked on yet?
- No.

They won't lock on
until they're ready to fire.

Link all the other ships
into our control system.

- They're locking on!
- Now!

How long until maximum thrust?

Almost there.

Approaching optimum speed.

Activate jump engines.

Break off! Now!

Ugh!

I'm sorry, Delenn.

I did not know.

I thought
I was helping our people.

I thought..

No.

I am sorry, Forell.

I should never
have been away this long.

What's our status?

Damage is substantial

but auto-repair systems
are functional.

Setting a course for Babylon 5.

Who said we were leaving?

They destroyed ships
from League Worlds

murdered their crews,
destroyedWhite Star 16.

And now..

...they will pay the price.

The Drakh mothership
is heading for the jump gate.

- How fast?
- Fast.

Be faster.

Hold on!

End this.

- The target is--
- Yes, Lennier.

I see.

Delenn, it would seem
that we have a problem at home.

I know.

Call the other ships,
Lennier.

Take us to Babylon 5.

Curious thing about humans.

Minbari cities
remain untouched

and unchanged for centuries.

I leave for three days..

...and you redecorate.

Me and my bright ideas.

But once this place is on-line,
we'll finally be able

to get our story out
to the fleet, the colonies

even Earth, if we can slip
past the jammers.

'I heard about what happened
to you out there.'

While you were gone,
we heard about more attacks.

Some of the ships were identical
to the ones you ran into.

You still think
it came from Z'ha'dum?

Positive,
there's no way of knowing

how many other
raiders are out there

but these Drakh
worry me the most.

Wild cards.

Just what we need.

It never seems to end,
does it?

You know,
my grandfather once told me

the duration's gonna be
a lot longer than the war

Never quite understood that
until now.

And it isn't just
the other races.

John, there are problems
waiting for me on Minbari.

The caste system
is falling apart.

If we don't pull it back
together again

there will be Civil War.

So I'm going home for a while
until this is fixed.

It may take some time..

...but I think in some ways

the time apart
will be good for us.

Good for you.

How so?

Before the war..

...Dukhat wanted to know
more about your people

so I began
studying your history.

I came to the conclusion
that of all the races

we had encountered,
humans were the most dangerous

'because humans
form communities'

'and from that diversity
comes a strength'

'no single race can withstand.'

That is your strength..

...and it is that
which makes you dangerous.

Ever since you came back
from Z'ha'dum

you've been trying to act
as if nothing had changed

trying to put it all back
the way it was.

I've tried to talk to you
about what Lorien said

that you have
only 20 years left

but you don't want to talk
about that.

You've turned your attention
back toward Earth

distracted yourself with this.

That is why you're so angry
with Mr. Garibaldi

but as long as he's outside..

...things can never be
the way they were.

While you were at Z'ha'dum..

...you were touched by destiny.

You cannot just simply
walk away from that.

I know. I know.

It's just that I'm..

I'm tired, Delenn.

Sometimes I feel as if
I've been carrying this station

on my back and crawling through
broken glass for three years.

- We each have our obligations.
- Yeah.

Mine, for now,
is to return home.

I must rebuild the Grey Council

and you must finish the work
that is ahead of you.

Fighting a war is easy.

Destroying is easy.

Building a new world
out of what's left of the old

that is what's hard,
but that is your strength.

So much has
fallen apart out there.

You must help
to put it back together.

And how will your leaving
make this any easier for me?

You've been holding back..

...trying to protect
all of us from the parts

of you that changed at Z'ha'dum.

You've tried to act
as if nothing had changed.

But I know your heart, John.

You can fool the others,
but you cannot fool me.

What is left..

...requires
that you'd be dangerous

and I think you would
be more comfortable

doing that
if I were not here.

Would it make a difference
if I asked you not to go?

Would you want it
to make a difference?

No. I suppose not.

Well, how long
before you have to leave?

Tomorrow morning.

Dinner?

Love to.

Have you heard
from Marcus and Stephen?

Not since before you left,
which is what I figured.

I'm sure Stephen
has his hands full.

'Oh, Stephen!'
