[instrumental music]

- Name?
- Harry. Harry Sanders.

And you're a telepath?

Sure.
What's the job pay?

Well, it's not a job,
it's more like an adventure.

A chance to help fight
the bad guys.

Good. Look, are we talking
hourly or weekly salary

because I got expenses
to cover?

Well, one thing at a time.

If you're a telepath,
are you Psi Corps?

No, they missed me.

No. The Psi Corps doesn't
miss anybody.

Well, some things just fall
through the cracks.

Psi Corps
doesn't have any cracks.

I escaped, okay?
Now where do I sign?

- What am I thinking?
- I don't work for free.

- What am I thinking?
- Right.

Got it. And I think
you're real cute, too.

'Look, I really need
this job.'

But you're not a telepath.

I can learn.
I'm a quick study.

- Out.
- I'll be an intern.

- I work cheap.
- Out!

Great. See? It's not what you
can do it's who you know.

Typical.

(John)
'So how's the recruiting going?'

(Susan)
'Slowly.'

We're still sorting through
the files

and conducting interviews.

I hate being
this open about it.

I agree, but I don't see
any other way to do it.

We need as many telepaths
as we can get

if we're going to
take on the Shadows.

Unfortunately, every time
we tell them about that part

most of them quit instantly.

Well, there is
another possibility.

Franklin was running
an underground railroad

for telepaths escaping
Psi Corps a while back.

He might be able to help us
track down some of those people.

[sighs]
Knowing Stephen,
he's probably wiped his files

in order to keep anyone
from misusing them.

But it's worth a try.

He's still on walkabout

so finding him is gonna be
tough but doable.

And for all its size

it's not like anybody
can hide out here for very long.

[sighs]

[beeps]

Yeah, listen, central.

I've gone over these cables
half dozen times

I can't find the problem.

(male #1 on radio)
'We're still reading
a dead power relay in Grey 16.'

Yeah, well, I don't care
what you're reading.

I'm telling you
that they're all working.

(male #1)
'Then keep looking.'

[beeps]

Alright.

Well, now there's your problem.

Wonder how the hell did that..

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

(female narrator)
The Babylon project was our

last best hope for peace.

[theme music]

It failed.

But in the year
of the Shadow War

it became something greater.

Our last best hope..

...for victory.

The year is 2260.

The place..

...Babylon 5.

[music continues]

[music continues]

[dramatic music]

(Rathenn)
'Thank you for coming, Delenn.'

The loss of Ranger One
was a great blow to us.

He spoke of you often,
you know.

Always with great reverence.

Did he say anything
before he left?

He...gave me his thanks.

It was all he had to give.

Delenn.

I finished
going over his room.

I found only this.

[instrumental music]

(Rathenn)
'He had very few possessions.'

To be with him was
to have the strangest feeling.

As though he were only
visiting this life

and did not want to be
overly burdened by it.

I'll see to it this is sent on
to his family, Rathenn.

Thank you.

Could you please take this back
to my ship, Lennier?

Of course.

With the loss of Ranger One

there is one last issue
to be taken care of, Delenn

that of a replacement.

The Rangers need a leader

someone to guide and inspire
them in the coming days.

It is a great responsibility.

I know.

But you have
my absolute confidence.

If there is anything
I can do--

I was thinking more of you.

The rangers would support it.

Actually, I don't think they
would rally behind anyone else.

But this is where the Rangers
have been trained.

My place is on Babylon 5.
I cannot--

The Rangers were here
because he was here.

Where you are,
the Rangers will be.

We are coming into
a critical time, Delenn.

They will need you.

Please, say yes.

[gun cocks]

Morning, chief.

- Hey, Zack.
- Sorry to be late.

Uh, I got held up
down in Grey Sector.

Got a weird report.

Is that what I think it is?

Smith and Wesson
.38 caliber revolver.

Used to belong to my grandmother
back when she was working

for the Boston P.D.

A slug thrower.

A slug thrower.

Hey, um, can I, uh..

Yeah, sure.

Oh, she's a beaut.

Now, they still make ammo
for these things?

Yeah, not as much
as they used to

since Earthforce went to
all PPGS for side arms.

You want something
that's gonna burn through flesh

'without punching
a hole in the hull.'

Back home, it's still used
for private security

target practice.

- Why'd you dig it out?
- Oh, I don't know.

Guess since we cut off
ties to Earth

I've been missing it a little.

But this baby...is a solid piece

of my family's history.

So, what is this weird report
in Grey Sector?

Oh, yeah. I don't know
what to make of this one.

They had some dead power relays
in there last night

they sent maintenance down
to check it out.

- Did they fix it?
- Yeah.

You're right,
that is unusual.

[chuckles]
Well, not only that.

The guy who did
the work...disappeared.

What do you mean disappeared?
This is a closed station.

- Where can you go?
- Yeah, that's what I said.

They found his gear,
but no trace of the guy.

'You want me to look into it?'

No. I'll do it.

I like mysteries,
but I hate Grey Sector.

I swear it's like
the Centauri triangle in there.

There's always
some damn thing going wrong.

- I'll see you later.
- Yeah, I'll see you.

[indistinct chattering]

[dramatic music]

(Stephen)
'What are you doing here?'

Stephen?

Are you alright?

Give me some definitions
of alright

and I'll see what I can do.

Are you sick?

I'm not sick.

- Stim withdrawal.
- But I-I don't understand.

You were fine before.

With some drugs, the..

The effects of withdrawal
are immediate.

But with stims,
it's-it's..

It's a little different.

It saturates your bloodstream

and they stay
in your system longer.

[clearing throat]

It takes a while
to flush it all out

but once it's gone, it..

What are you doing here?

Um..

We need your help.

I can't go back. I gotta,
I gotta work this out.

I-I know that,
and I respect that.

But we need the information
that you gathered on telepaths

when you were running
the underground railroad.

We need to find them
so that we can put together

a tactical core group.

I purged the information
from my main computer

but I have a backup.

I figured it might
come in handy one day.

Where is it?

Stephen?

I need to be alone, Susan.

Alright?

'I can't do what I got to do'

if you and Garibaldi
are always following me around.

So I'm going to give you what
you want under one condition.

Don't send anybody else
after me.

- I can't guarantee that.
- Yes, you can!

That's the price.

Now you take it
or you leave it.

Stephen...what if
you get into trouble?

I'm already in trouble.

The only thing I can do now

is to keep walking
until I meet myself

and somehow work this out.

Access my personal computer

data's in a hidden folder,
code name Harriett.

Now everything you need
is right there.

Thank you.

Goodbye, Susan.

And don't come back

No matter what.

[instrumental music]

This was the last place
you heard from him?

Yes, sir, he said that
he couldn't see anything wrong

and then the power grid
came back on.

We waited for him to
check back in, but he didn't.

And after a few hours
we called security.

Anybody check this out?

Yeah, we tubed down
to the level below

in case he fell
through a bad panel

nada.

The cover was back in place
so he'd finished

doing whatever it was
he was doing.

And nobody saw anything?

This whole sector's
mainly industrial stuff.

'I'm telling you it's like he
just vanished into thin air.'

Thin air.
Why is it always thin air?

Never fat air, chubby air

mostly fit, could stand
to lose a few pounds air?

I'm sorry, sir,
but that's not my department.

Have you got any ideas?

Well, aside from
a two-week vacation

in the Mars pleasure dome,
not a one.

Now you're sure
you checked out the area?

Absolutely. We went through
all 29 Grey levels.

You mean 30. There's 30 levels
in Grey Sector.

Nope. 29.

- Well, the schematics--
- Say 30, I know.

It's a mistake
in the blueprints.

You know how they rushed
to get this place finished.

Nobody ever caught it because
not many people get down here.

Take my word for it,
I went down every floor

of this place myself
and counted. It's 29 for sure.

I think it's a great idea.

You are the natural choice

to take over
as head of the Rangers.

It's the logical choice.

I do not know if it will be
the popular choice.

Why not?
Who'd object?

If I'm lucky, perhaps no one.
If not..

I've decided to hold
the initiation ceremony here

if that meets
with your approval.

Oh, not a problem.
But this is a little public.

I mean until now
the Rangers have only

operated behind the scenes.

That role will change
soon enough.

Before that happens,
they should receive

some of the recognition
they deserve.

Alright.

I'll have Mr. Garibaldi arrange
a security team just--

[beeps]

Sheridan, go.

(Susan)
'Captain, I've got
the information'

'we needed on the telepaths.'

Good, I'll be right there.

Look, I'll catch up
to you later, hmm?

And again, congratulations.

Thank you.

(Neroon)
'Congratulations, Delenn.'

Power beckons, and who among us
is strong enough

to ignore its siren song?

Neroon.

A brilliant strategy, Delenn.

I had not thought you capable
of such ambition.

Clearly, I was mistaken.

What are you talking about?

The Rangers are commissioned

after a thousand
years of silence.

The religious caste begins
constructing new warships

without the knowledge
or consent of the warrior caste.

(Delenn)
'You chose not to act.'

Someone had to.

Perhaps.

Which is why we let you
have them in the beginning.

Even allowed Sinclair
to train them

even though it meant
diluting their purity

by allowing humans to join
alongside our own people.

We were quite tolerant
of your activities.

But now their training
is complete.

They require new leadership.

By right of tradition

the warrior caste should be
given command of the Rangers.

That was the law
as set down by Valen.

Three castes

worker, religious, warrior.

They build, you pray

we fight.

You violated that law
when the warrior caste

became dominant
in the Grey council.

But the Grey council
no longer exists.

You disbanded it.
So what do we have now, Delenn?

You have undergone
the transformation

promised by Valen,
broken the council

'and created
a vacuum of power.'

And now, as an eminent leader
in the religious caste

you plan to take command
of a military force

and fill that vacuum yourself.

I have no desire
to rule our people.

(Neroon)
'I wish I could
believe you, Delenn'

but I don't.

A religious zealot
propelled by prophecy

into a position of military
and political power?

Always a bad idea.

Out of respect,
I give you this opportunity

to walk away from
the path you have taken.

Refuse the position
of Ranger One

and turn control
of the Rangers

over to the warrior caste
where it belongs.

Or?

I am sworn to stop you, Delenn

by any and all means necessary.

(Lennier)
'Delenn?'

Ah, there you are.

Is everything alright?

[intense music]

Grey 2.

One, two, three.

[beeps]

Grey 3.

One, two, three.

[beeps]

Three seconds.

I cannot believe that Neroon
would actually threaten you.

He's a member of
the Grey council.

Was.
The council is no more.

He can do as he sees fit.

This should come
as no surprise.

We knew the warrior caste
was unhappy with our activities.

Unhappy? Delenn, he's planning
to kill you.

That is one interpretation.

He said he would use
any and all means necessary.

I respectfully suggest
that he intends to go

far beyond harsh language.

Lennier, no Minbari
has killed another

in a thousand years.

Yes, but if
the Grey council is gone

and the rules have changed
what else has changed?

'You will tell the captain
about this, I assume.'

No.

This is an internal
problem, Lennier.

If we cannot handle it on our
own, then we shouldn't be here.

So, I want your word

that you will not
tell him about this.

- Delenn, I--
- Your word.

Good.
Now come..

We have much work
ahead of us

to prepare for the ceremony.

Grey 16.

[door closes]

One, two, three.

[beeps]

Grey 17.

One, two, three.

Four, five, six.

[beeps]

[intense music]

Grey 16.

One, two.

Emergency stop.

[beeps]

Open tube doors.

(automated voice)
'This is not a valid
level designation.'

'Safety procedures require--'

Security override.

Unlock tube doors,
allow manual open.

[music continues]

[door closes]

[clattering]

[slams door]

[dramatic music]

[chuckles]

You shouldn't be here.

You're in trouble.

Oh!

[groaning]

Ohh.

[beeps]

Garibaldi to station house.

Ga.. Gar..

Gar..

Ohh.

Told you. Ha ha!

Told you. Ha ha ha.

[instrumental music]

- Hello, Lennier.
- Marcus.

I've never seen
your quarters before.

Very restrained.

It's the best
Ivanova could find

given how tight
we are for space.

It's, uh, enough
for my needs.

Any more would be
a distraction.

I'm trying to avoid
breaking a promise

by breaking a promise.

I promised Delenn that
I would not speak of this

to the captain
or let him know.

She did not mention you by name

but that was implicit.

If I tell the others
in the chain of command

then Sheridan will find out

and I will have broken
the promise.

'But if I break
my promise by telling you'

'since you are not
in the chain of command'

he may not
find out about this

and I will not have
broken the promise.

I'm in awe, Lennier.

The way you can take
a straightforward

logical proposition and turn it

inside out
so that in the end

it says what you want it to say

instead of what it
actually means.

Did this come naturally
or-or did you, um

attend some special
martial arts class

for the philosophically
inclined?

Marcus, I think Delenn's life
may be in jeopardy.

'One of our own, a former member
of the Grey council'

has challenged her right
to lead the Rangers.

I think he may resort
to violence to stop her.

Warrior caste?

Typical.

But I was taught that Minbari

do not kill Minbari.

Correct, and given
their positions

it's even that much
more unthinkable.

If he harms her

if a Minbari from one caste

even tries to kill another then

the shock and anger will lead
to retribution back home.

It could even cause
a civil war between the castes.

(Marcus)
'And the same would apply
if you went after him.'

So you're looking for
a non-Minbari to stop him.

- Yes.
- He's probably gone hiding.

Can you find him
before the ceremony?

It will be difficult.

He won't appear again
until he's ready to move

but, yes, it can be done.

Marcus, you need
only delay him

until the ceremony
is complete.

Once it's done
it cannot be undone.

Try to avoid
confronting him directly.

He is one of the best
of the warrior caste.

He's trained at
killing your people.

He's very good
at what he does.

Just tell me when and where.
Leave the rest to me.

[panting]

[coughs]

[dramatic music]

[continues panting]

I don't suppose this is
the best time to point out

you're...all under arrest.

Consider..

...the hand.

Hmm.

Veins, capillaries

muscles, cells

moons, stars, planets

galaxies.

All trapped inside
ephemeral, translucent flesh.

[chuckles]

The palm.

We have lines

we have signs

we have shapes

equations.

All creation..

...in a hangnail.

My name is Jeremiah.

Welcome to the end
of the world.

(John)
How many more did you say
we've got coming in?

(Delenn)
Quite a few, I'm afraid.
It's necessary for the ceremony.

But, uh, we have a few minutes
before the next shuttle.

Ooh.

So many faces
I haven't seen in so long.

Hm.

It brings back
a lot of memories.

You know

you've never talked much
about your life back home.

You never even talk about,
uh, your family.

It would be difficult
to explain to a non-Minbari.

After I was born

my mother entered
the sisters of Valeria.

I have seen her
only twice since.

Oh, sorry.

No.

No, it's a great honor.

I miss her greatly,
but it is her wish.

And your father?

He passed beyond
the veil 10 years ago.

To see us making war
against your people

broke his heart.

The thing I remember
about him..

When I was a child

he would take me
with him to temple.

He carried me
on his shoulder

so that I could
see everything.

One day I came outside with him
to go to temple and..

And he said,
"I'm sorry, Delenn

but you are too big now
for me to carry you."

I realized then that my father
would never again

carry me in his arms.

I felt such loss.

And I knew for
the first time

that someday
I would lose him.

Then I looked in his eyes

and I saw that he was
thinking the same thing.

I don't think
I...ever loved him more

then at that moment.

[instrumental music]

(Jeremiah)
You see, my friend

the universe is sentient

aware, alive.

Now the Minbari
understand this.

[laughs]
Oh, yes.

They understand completely.

That is why they nearly
defeated us

in the war, you know.

Because they are closer
to the truth than we are.

The truth strengthens us

ennobles us, sets us free.

Speaking of getting free

there has to be
a way out of here.

(Jeremiah)
'Pressure doors
are welded shut'

'the tube is disabled.'

We, uh, tap into
the recycling system

and purify it.
We're all recycled, you know.

Just, uh, molecules and atoms

born in the stars and, uh

recycled into
carbon based life, hmm?

Why do you think we have spent
millions of years

trying to understand the stars

the moons, and-and-and
the universe itself, hmm?

Hmm? Ha, well, because
we are the universe.

The universe made manifest.

It-it broke itself into pieces

to examine every aspect
of its being.

We try to understand it
because in so doing

well, we will
understand ourselves.

So we-we have come here

and we've isolated ourselves

in order to attain
a purity of thought

because purity of form
and purity of intent

purity of execution.
That-that is the only way.

The only way the door will open.

The door?

[instrumental music]

[door opens]

(Marcus)
So you must be Neroon.

You shouldn't
get involved in things

that don't concern you.
My quarrel is with Delenn.

Then your quarrel is with me.

Do you have any idea who I am?

I do.

But the only way you will
get to her is through me.

denn-shah.

To the death.

[metal clanking]

During the war,
I killed 50,000 of you.

What's one more?

[metal clanking]

Not bad for a beginner.

Last chance.

I was taught the pike
by Durhann, himself.

Really? So was I.

[grunting]

You're a fool.

But if this is what you wish
it shall be.

To the death!

[instrumental music]

Any problems?

None that I've heard about.

Where's Marcus?
I thought for sure he'd be here.

I don't know.
Something must have come up.

[metal clanking]

[grunting]

[music continues]

One day the universe
will truly understand itself

and at that moment,
it will transcend itself.

It will become something else
something even greater

another, another big bang!

Only this time, this time
consciously directed

because this time
the universe

will know exactly
what it's doing.

Right now it-it-it kills
everything it makes.

Everything it designs dies.

It's-it's a serious design flaw
to say the least.

But next time, oh,
next time it'll be perfect.

We-we will be perfect.

Uh..
Michael, right?

May I call you Michael?

Uh, people like you, Michael

people like you
suffer from the fact

that you do not remember

having been part of
the universe.

You're, uh, sort of
left out of the cosmic loop

so to speak.

Uh, you know,
driven mad by the silence

the terrible isolation.

But you see, we-we remember.

We remember the universe.
We feel the connection.

[retching]

Uh, are-are you alright?

(Michael)
No.

Ever since you shot me
with that tranq

I've been having these cramps.

They're getting worse.

Find Ezekial. Bring him here.

[panting]

Now, now, now,
it's-it's going to be alright.

It's going to be
alright, Michael.

We'll take care of you.
Don't worry.

Hyaa!

Now, you show me
the door out of here

or your feet are the only things

you're gonna see for
the rest of your crummy life.

Got it?

Good.

[dramatic music]

This is foolish.
A waste of material.

is invoked,
I cannot surrender but you..

...you are not Minbari.

'Step aside, and I will pretend
that you ran away'

changed your mind.
No one will know.

Unh! I am a Ranger!

We walk in the dark places
no others will enter.

We stand on the bridge
and no one may pass.

We live for the one.
We die for the one!

[metal clanking]

[grunting]

I've just broken
two of your ribs.

Sorry, make that three.

Why? Why all of this?

Pride? Duty?

You've been trained well

but you must've known
you couldn't win.

So why do it?

F-for her.

[sniffles]

We live for the one.

We die..

...for the one.

Isil'Zha, sendi..

In Valen's name..

[intense music]

This belonged to
the worker who disappeared.

- You do this?
- Oh, no.

We do not believe
in violence.

Somebody does.

He must have gotten
in here somehow

so there must be
a way out.

Which way?

Oh, you still do not
understand, do you?

Perhaps that is why
I am here.

To-to help you understand.

Yes.

Yes.

It's my time, I suppose.

Time to..

...to move on.

I am as pure as I am

ever going to be.

Oh, what are you..

[screeching]

What the hell is that?

Listen, listen, if the only way
out is-is to find a

a purity of-of purpose,
a purity of thought

a purity of belief.
You see that, that is the door.

The door of the mind.
The way. The way out.

But you see, the body, the body
must also have a way out

uh, a way out
that is equally pure.

[screeching]

Start making sense.
Now!

I am.

Now...if we are the universe

then the universe
must consume us

in an act of
absolute-absolute purity.

Now, within the universe,
we have a perfect predator.

No instinct, no thought

except for the hunt.

Living perfection.

When it is our time

we choose to return
to the universe

through that perfection,
through-through the zarg.

- Zarg?
- Yes.

You have a zarg in here?
Are you nuts?

That's one of the most
dangerous aliens

in the whole sector.

[screeching]

Come on.

(Rathenn)
'As it was done long ago'

so now we name
she who will lead us.

So among the Rangers,
let her be known as entil..

- Is this part of the ceremony?
- I don't know.

[clangs]

There is now blood between us

and there is blood between
the warrior caste

and the humans.

I do not think
they would die for me

but they would die..

...for you..

...Entil'Zha.

[crowd whispering]

[screeching]

[groaning]

[grunting]

[screeching]

I think I hurt it,
but it just made it mad.

Damn it! If I just
had something, anything.

Wait a minute.

[intense music]

Marcus.

I don't see why
you are fighting this, Michael.

To be consumed by the universe

in one of its most
perfect forms

well, that's the highest destiny
one can achieve.

Oh, yeah?

Well, then why the hell
are you in here with me

instead of out there
with that thing?

[screeching]

Well, um, you see, I've..

I-I-I've decided that I'm not
sufficiently transcendent yet.

[screeching]

Well, then you better get your
transcendent butt behind me

and hope his works out
because we only got one chance

assuming this doesn't
kill us before it does.

[gunshots]

[groaning]

Don't even think about it.

Now..

...we are going to find
a way out of here, aren't we?

I hate Grey Sector.

[instrumental music]

This should never have been
allowed to happen

not for my sake.

If not for yours,
then who else?

He could have been killed.

Delenn, all we know
is that we will die.

It is only a matter
of how, when

and whether or not
it is with honor.

He did what any of us
would have done.

Respectfully, Delenn, I think

this is the one thing
about your position

you do not yet understand.

You cherish life.
Life is your goal.

But for the greater part
to live

some must die or be harmed
in its defense and yours.

There is no other way.

Now, the doctors say
that Marcus will recover

and that is what matters.
He unders..

Have you come to finish
what you started?

If I had wished him dead,
he would be dead.

Then why did you stop short?

That is between the two of us.

I would speak to him alone
one warrior to another.

- Then I will go.
- He will not hear you.

Then I will speak briefly.

you said.

To the death.

And death there was.

The death was mine.

To see a human
invoke the name of Valen

to be willing to die
for one of my kind

when I was intent
upon killing one of my own

the rightness
of my cause disappeared.

Strange..

...that a human
in his last moments

should be more
of a Minbari than I.

Perhaps it is true
what Delenn said.

That we are not
of the same blood

but we are of
the same heart.

(Marcus)
'The next time..'

[instrumental music]

The next time..

...you want a revelation..

...could you
possibly find a way..

...that isn't..

...quite so..

...uncomfortable.

[Neroon laughing]

Captain..

...you wouldn't believe
the day I've had.

The day you've had?
We had an assault on Marcus.

Someone got into
the Ranger ceremony..

could've killed Delenn.

And where were you?

Okay. Well, first there was this
missing maintenance man.

Only, he wasn't missing,
he was killed by a zarg.

But I'm getting
ahead of myself.

That was after I found out
that the entire 17th floor

of Grey Sector
had completely disappeared.

Well, not disappeared exactly.

This weird cult had
taken over the place, see.

And there was a dummy that shot
tranqs out of its eyes.

It was very strange. But it was
all supposed to be perfect.

'That was the thing about it.
And there wasn't a way out.

But there was,
except it was spiritual

and you had to die
a perfect death.

That's where the zarg came in
and either it was gonna kill me

or I was gonna kill it and--

Am I going too fast for you?
