Mission 21: (1) ( somewhere on the Alexander ) Shadow : Hey, Dan, how are you ? Uhmm... Before you go to Major Ryan let me tell you something. After the battle the Alexander made a detailed sensor scan of the region, and we found the rubbles of Geezer's destroyed starfury. (c20.1) HALE : So it must have been Goblin who sent us into that trap. (c20.2) Shadow : Look , we knew there was a traitor on board and somehow Ryan had to find out his identity. Didn't you notice that nearly all pilots had at least one assignment to fulfil on their own ? (c20.3) Balrok : Yours was the centauri supply depot. (c20.4) Shadow : I understand you are angry but we couldn't know it was Goblin and someone had to fly on his wing ! Damn it, Danny , Jimmy was my friend too ! (c20.5) Spawn : Look , we know you knew him longer than anyone else ...(c20.6) -- Hale just goes on and lets his friends behind. Spawn : and it is pretty unfair .... hey ! Danny ! Wait ! (c20.6 - rest ) Shadow : Dan, there is nothing you can do about it ! Don't overreact now ! Dan ! (c20.7) -- Shadow tries to grab Hale at his shoulder, but Hale faces him on his own : HALE : Yeah ! I knew him far longer than you did ! Jimmy was my friend, so stop bugging me with this "don't overreact" shit !!! Do you understand ?? Otherwise you'll really see me overreacting ! (c20.8) -- Hale pushes SHadows hand away and gets away. Shadow, Balrok and Spawn stand together, -- looking after hin and into the camera. Balrok : Do you still think it was a good idea to tell him ? (c20.9) Spawn : Telling him later would still be worse. We DO trust him, don't we ? (c20.10) Balrok : We can't let him go to Major Ryan right now! I think he's definitely in the condition to do something nasty. (c20.11) Spawn : and what do you propose ? (c20.12) Balrok : Let's take him to his quarters by force, at least till he has calmed down. (c20.13) Spawn : I think this would prevent him from calming down. (c20.14) Shadow : No. We let him go. Dan is reasonable. We have done all we can, as friends. (c20.15) -- music supports fadeout. (2) ( Earthdome ) -- Bureau of Senator Morgenstern Morgenstern : I cannot believe this incompetence !!! If Ackerman wasn't dead by now, I'd like to demote him back to ensign! (c21.16) Patterson : The remnants of the 5th carrier group are retreating. (c21.17) Dorff : His cover is blown, but at least my blackomega informer returned, and he brought along some information on the Alexander and her crew. Lt.Brightman is dead, but from what we know, Lt.Cmdr.Hale is still out there. (c21.18) Patterson : What difference can ONE man make ? (c21.19) Morgenstern : PATTERSON !!! DON'T YOU HAVE WORK TO DO ?? (c21.20) Patterson : Uhm...yes.sir..I..mean...I..can... (c21.21) Morgenstern : GET OUT !!! (c21.22) -- Patterson leaves through the door. Dorff : You should be worried. Things might get complicated very soon. Our special friend Mr.Morden left to Z'haDum some time ago, and from what he had said I am afraid that the conflict of our associates with the vorlons could intensify significantly in the near future. So far we have been able to benefit from this hysteria, but I am afraid that inner security is no longer our only problem. (c21.23) -- short pause , Morgenstern considers. Morgenstern : Well. I do as you do. We do our jobs. If you like to, you can go visit vorlon prime and talk us out of it. Here, we'll concentrate on the matters we have an impact on. Forget about the League space and about this war. Our problem now IS inner security, remember we all have our agenda. (c21.24)
