:30:01
They've been trying to join forces
with the Earth Alliance for years.
:30:05
A mutual enemy
would serve that purpose very well.
:30:08
And if your assumption is correct
and he is the assassin...
:30:13
...what would you suggest?
:30:15
An alliance between our governments.
:30:18
Yours is the oldest of the five federations.
Ours is the youngest.
:30:21
Technologically you're centuries ahead
of everyone else.
:30:24
We have unlimited manpower
and the will to use it.
:30:29
Can you imagine
what we could achieve together?|I can.
:30:33
Which is why
it must never be allowed to happen.
:30:38
Your perceptions are colored
by your history with the Centauri.
:30:40
As former slaves of that government...
:30:43
...you would seize any opportunity
to raise a force against them.|We were never slaves!
:30:48
Our world was invaded, our people-
:30:50
The word was ill-chosen.
:30:52
My apologies.
:30:55
But my decision stands.
:30:59
Thank you for coming, Ambassador.
:31:05
I should have known better
than to waste my time.|You're even worse than the Centauri.
:31:09
They're beyond the dream of conquest.
:31:11
But you had the Earth Alliance
on its knees.
:31:15
One more stroke
and you would have defeated them.
:31:18
But you surrendered.
:31:20
Why?
:31:22
We had our reasons.
:31:26
On Narn,
we heard that the decision to surrender...|...came from your holy men.
:31:31
A secret group called the "Grey Council."
:31:33
Weak, frightened fools with no vision
or the will to fight, but we-
:31:46
You are being held...
:31:48
...by a force of two gravities.
:31:51
You will swear, here and now...
:31:53
...that you will never again mention
the Grey Council in my presence.
:31:58
Three gravities.
