Ambassador Kosh,

is there something
I can do for you?

I wish to engage
your services.

For what?

Business.

What sort of business?

Important.

Ambassador, I'd be happy
to assist you,

but there are certain
details I must know

before taking
any commission,

not to mention getting
clearances from--

all arranged,
as is payment.

We will meet
in red 3

at the hour
of scampering.

The hour of scampering?

Woman in flight control:
Minbari flyer 969--

you may proceed
to docking bay 17.

Flight announcer:
Transport l-10,

bound for Jupiter colonies,

is now boarding
at docking bay 18.

Query--liner Calisto.

Liner Calisto
will be docking

in bay 12
in 7 minutes.

Flight announcer:
All passengers holding berths

on that flight should
see miss buru in red 7.

[Speaking alien language]

Deathwalker?

Deathwalker.

Deathwalker!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah--let me go!

She must die!
She's deathwalker!

Come on, let's go.
Take it easy!

Deathwalker!

Narrator: It was the dawn
of the third age of mankind,

10 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 2,500,000 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...

Sinclair: Have you got
an identity on the victim?

According
to her ship I.D.,

her name
is gyla lobos.

She's a free-trader.

Came from sector 47
on her way to Earth.

That's Minbari space.

Minbari ship,
Minbari clothes,

Minbari I.D.,

but she's
no Minbari.

Na'toth give you any
reason for the attack?

Nothing intelligible.

She was totally berserk
when we hauled her in.

Kept yelling "deathwalker."

Deathwalker?

I thought you might
remember that name.

I know I do.

Sinclair: Na'toth, why did
you attack that woman?

Listen, sister,
if she dies,

you'll rot
in a cage

until your spots
turn gray.

Na'toth,
we want to help you,

but you have
to tell us why.

It is chon-kar...

The blood oath.

When the Dilgar
conquered hylak 7,

my grandfather and
his family were there.

Deathwalker used them
in her experiments.

They all died
except my grandfather,

who managed to escape
back to Narn,

but not before she
implanted a machine

in his brain.

It slowly killed
his mind and spirit,

and we could do
nothing but watch.

When he died,

my family took
the chon-kar...

And now our vengeance
is at hand.

The Dilgar invasion
was 30 Earth years ago.

If deathwalker
was alive today,

she'd be
an old woman.

Her face is carved
into the minds

of my entire brood.

I smell my grandfather's
blood on her hands.

I tell you, it is she!

Go over that woman's ship.

I want to know everything
there is to know about her.

You and me both.

Commander Sinclair,
my abject apologies

for this
terrible incident.

I don't know what
came over my attaché.

Let me assure you

that I am
personally prepared

to make amends
to her victim.

Her victim
is still in medlab.

If she lives,
I'll convey your offer.

I see.

If you will release
Na'Toth into my custody,

I'll take
full responsibility

for her conduct.

Given the circumstances,
that's impossible.

However, I will agree
to house arrest

pending outcome
of our investigation.

Guards,
take Ms. Na'toth

to Ambassador G'Kar's
quarters.

She's not to leave
for any reason.

Guard: Yes, sir.

You have my gratitude,
Commander.

Na'toth!

Ambassador Kosh.

All the clearances
seem to be in order,

and the pay
is very generous.

However, there's something
I still don't understand.

Understanding is
a three-edged sword.

Oh, Kosh!

You old dog,

you didn't tell me
you were bringing a date.

Um, I'm Talia Winters,

licensed commercial telepath,
Psi-Corps rating p-5.

I'll be sitting in
on the negotiations

on behalf
of Ambassador Kosh.

Ah, I'm a 23 myself,

a good number.

Call me abbut.

Please scan abbut.

Report to me
his thoughts

at present--

oh, goody! Nothing
like a good mind scan

to clear
the old processor.

Miss Winters?

He has no thoughts
at all.

It's as if his mind
were empty.

Excellent.

We may now commence
our business.

Abbut.

Crab...

Nebula.

[Sighs]

Her vital signs
have stabilized,

but I still can't
match her species type.

Why don't you try
xenobiogenic files?

How is she?

Better than
she should be,

considering the ferocity
of her attack.

Her metabolism
is astounding.

It's repairing
the damage

at an extremely
accelerated rate.

I wish I knew what
her species was.

I've never seen
anything like her.

Her DNA doesn't match
anything we've got on file.

She's a Dilgar.

Dilgar? Dilgar
is a dead race.

Those few that were left
after the invasion died

when their sun
went Nova.

Computer, load
history file--e.A. 2230.

Reference--deathwalker.

Computer: Commencing.

Deathwalker: Epithet used
to refer to jha'dur,

the most infamous leader
of the Dilgar invasion

of the non-aligned sectors
in 2230.

Rank: War master.

Specialist in
biochemical, biogenetic,

and cyberorganic weaponry.

Stop. This was
jha'dur 30 years ago.

Well, she's obviously
too young to be jha'dur

and too old
to be her daughter.

But there might be
another explanation.

Computer,

scan subject for any sign
of cryonic freezing

or body alteration.

Computer: Commencing.

Scan: Negative.

Hmm. I'll have med corps
send me all their files

on the Dilgar.
There has to be a way

to make a positive
identification.

Commander, you're not
going to believe this.

A Dilgar uniform.

Rank: War master.

And the nameplate
reads jha'dur.

Na'toth was right.
It's her.

The uniform
doesn't prove that.

Did you find
anything else?

Only this.

Doesn't look like
any kind of drug

I've ever seen.

Doc?

I'm going to run
some tests on this.

My father flew
for Earthforce

during the Dilgar
invasion.

He was there
when they retook balos.

He never forgot
what he saw.

If this woman
is jha'dur--

[beeping]

Sinclair.

Ivanova: Commander,

you have a gold channel
transmission

from senator Hidoshi.

On my way.

Post a full detail here
until she can be moved

to a maximum
security area.

And keep a tight lid
on this, Michael.

Until we figure out
what's going on,

I don't want
any rumors running

around this station.

I'm sorry to bring you
shame, Ambassador,

but I must fulfill
my chon-kar.

You do not shame me,
Na'Toth.

I know
how your senses burn

with the nearness
of your prey.

I, too,
have chon-kar.

Many of them.

But unhappily,
in this case,

yours
complicates matters.

I don't understand.

Counselor ha'rok,

the Narn you were
to meet in customs,

was here to bargain
with jha'dur.

Our agents learned
of a discovery she made

which would be of great
value to our regime.

Heh. But after
your attack on her,

ha'rok could not hope
to approach her

without drawing
the attention

of Earth Alliance.

So he has returned
to Narn

and left me to secure
this discovery of hers.

I will take it from her
when I eat her flesh.

No, the kha'ri says

we must get her
to Narn alive.

I will not be denied this!

This is larger
than chon-kar!

It would give Narn
the advantage it needs

to expand the regime
and crush our enemies!

You must make
this sacrifice

for the future
of our people,

as all Narn
have sacrificed

at one time
or another.

I'll delay
the chon-kar,

but I will not
abandon it.

You would not be Narn
if you did.

I am proud of you.

And when we
get what we want

from this butcher,

I promise to help you
fulfill your vow.

Hidoshi:
Commander Sinclair.

Senator Hidoshi,
what can I do for you?

We understand a woman
named gyla lobos

was recently
attacked there.

Is she alive?

Yes, and recovering.

Excellent. When
she's fit to travel,

you will send her
to Earth immediately.

Senator,
we've found evidence

that this woman might be
the Dilgar war criminal

deathwalker.

Deathwalker is
long dead, Commander.

This is
a priority order.

Without more information,
I can't--

Commander Sinclair,

all information
in this matter

is on
a need-to-know basis,

and you do not
need to know.

Have a pleasant day.

Incredible.

How dare you pry
into my life's work!

I think you're
too badly--

I've had worse.
I want to see Sinclair now.

Commander!

Commander,
is it true?

Is what true?

They say you have
deathwalker in custody.

You should know better

than to listen
to rumors, Ambassador.

[Sighs]

I'm Commander
Jeffrey Sinclair.

You asked
to speak to me?

Doctor, will you give us
a moment, please?

You know
the way of command.

Yes, the wind swords
are right to fear you.

What do you know
about the wind swords?

They have sheltered me
for many years,

in return
for certain services.

They speak of you
often, Sinclair.

They say you have
a hole in your mind.

Who are you?

I am war master jha'dur
of the Dilgar.

Deathwalker?

So they called me.

If you were jha'dur,
you'd be much older.

The answer is
in this vial,

the results of
a lifetime of research

and experimentation.

My research--

a universal antiagapic.

I'm not familiar
with the term.

It's a serum which retards
the aging process

and prevents disease.

It's still unstable
and difficult to produce

in sufficient quantity,

but it works,
as you can see.

No fear of growing old,

no sickness. That's--

virtual immortality,

the ultimate
triumph of life.

The secret is mine,
Sinclair,

and with the help
of your Earth,

I will bring it
to all the worlds

of this galaxy
before the year is out.

Then the willows
must scuttle carefully?

Does saturn have rings?

The talks are
over for the day.

We shall commence
again tomorrow

at the hour
of longing.

Suits me.

Ambassador?

Ambassador Kosh.

There is a question?

Yes. I've been scanning
Mr. Abbut all day,

and his mind is still
just as empty

as when we started.

And these phrases
you keep speaking in,

they don't
make any sense.

Ah, you seek meaning.

Yes.

Then listen to the music,

not the song.

Miss Winters, could
I buy you a drink?

A jovian sunspot would
taste good right now.

Mr. Abbut,
can you tell me

what these negotiations
are all about?

I could...

But it's not good
to reflect too much.

A problem?

Uh, no.
I'm just tired.

I think I'll go back
to my quarters

and rest
for a while.

Ah, rest is good.

And so is
a nice, lean pastrami

with just
a little mustard

and an antarean pickle.

Maybe another time?

P.A. announcer:
Book universe on level 5

is pleased to announce
a signing...

Mr. Lennier.

Oh, Commander.

I'm sorry
to disturb you,

but with
Ambassador Delenn

off station,
I need your help.

Have you heard
about the incident

at customs today?

Yes, I did. Shocking.

The Narn do seem to be
a most passionate people.

Are you familiar with
the name...Deathwalker?

Quite. History is
a passion of mine.

As I recall,

she was the most
infamous leader

of the Dilgar invasion

of the nonaligned
sectors in 2230.

She was
a brilliant scientist,

specializing in biogenetics
and cyberorganics,

but she was also a brutal
and sadistic warrior

personally responsible
for countless deaths.

Na'toth said
the woman she attacked

is deathwalker.

The woman
claims she's right.

She also says it
was the wind swords

who sheltered her
after the invasion.

The wind swords.

They are the most militant
of all our warrior castes,

but even they wouldn't
harbor such a beast.

It's possible she was
of service to them.

Could you check
with your government?

See what they know?

I cannot speak directly
to the council

without permission,
but I will contact Delenn.

Thank you.

I also ask
that you keep

this information
confidential

for the time being.

You may rely on
my discretion, Commander.

And in the name
of the Narn regime,

I extend our
sincerest apologies

for the attack on you.

We are fully prepared
to make whatever reparations

you deem necessary

and make you
a most handsome offer.

For what?

Your discovery,
of course.

The antiagapic.

You're very
well-informed, G'Kar.

Our reports always said
you were a clever one

and a good
resistance leader, too.

If Earth Alliance
hadn't taken a hand

in our invasion,

we might have
helped your kind

wipe the Centauri
out completely.

You are also
well-informed, jha'dur,

but we are not through
with the Centauri yet,

and you can
still help us.

Whatever Earth Alliance
has promised you,

we will triple.

Tempting.

Grant me one more thing
and I'll consider it.

Name it.

The head of the animal
that attacked me...

Within the hour.

[Laughing]

Based on the data
I got from Earth,

she is jha'dur, which,
barring other explanations,

seems to prove her claim
about an antiagapic.

Antia--whatzic?

An immortality serum.

The Russian Consortium's
been researching

in that that direction
for years with no success.

That's because there
ain't no such animal.

She's lying
to save her skin.

My analysis of the serum
suggests that she isn't.

Earth agrees. They've
given us a priority order

to send jha'dur
there immediately.

They plan to develop
her discovery.

Are you serious?

This woman made
the durian massacres

look like
a church picnic,

and Earth wants
to give her a Grant?

Justice or immortality--
an intriguing choice.

There is no choice.

Jha'dur infected
the entire population

of latig 4
with Stafford's plague

just to see how long it'd
take them all to die.

She wiped out entire races,
destroyed whole planets,

experimented
on living beings.

Now, she wants to make
everybody immortal? Why?

Maybe she's
got a conscience.

Unlikely. Tyrants
seldom show remorse

for their brutalities.

Let the league
deal with her.

We've got her serum.

If it's legit,
we can finish

this immortality pill
ourselves.

No, the serum's
too complex.

It would take years to
develop without her input

if at all possible.

While I find Earth's moral
stance on this dubious,

they are better equipped
to handle an issue

of this magnitude.

Ivanova's right.
This one's too big for us.

I want jha'dur's
ship recharged

and a fighter escort
ready in one hour.

We'll take her
through blue 5

to avoid
any attention.

What the hell
are you doing, Jeff?

Following orders.

Those orders stink.

Whatever jha'dur
is peddling

doesn't change
what she is.

I know, damn it!

But if Dr. Franklin's right,
her discovery

will bring a future free
of disease, aging, death

all across the galaxy.

She can save more lives
than she took,

and she can make the deaths
she caused have meaning.

Isn't that
worth considering?

Better pray
to that god of yours

you're right, Jeff.

Because if any of
the league Ambassadors

find out
about this deal,

they'll tear Babylon 5
to pieces.

One of our agents
has just informed me

that Sinclair is going
to smuggle jha'dur

off the station.

What?

Blast him and
that infernal female!

She is near.
I can smell her.

Free me from this cage,
and I'll deal with her.

Mmm, not yet.
There is a better way.

Ambassador G'Kar to speak
to Ambassador Kalika

on a most urgent matter.

Woman:
One moment, Ambassador.

[Door opens]

Your ship is recharged.

We'll give you
a fighter escort

to the vortex, and
an Earthforce vessel

will meet you
on the other end.

Most efficient.

I commend you.

Is there something else
you wish to say, Commander?

Dr. Franklin has
confirmed the potential

of your discovery,

but why give it
to Earth?

Because it was Earth
who turned the tide

against my race.

Thus, it is fitting
that you benefit

from your conquest.

It was more an act
of preservation.

You slaughtered
mercilessly,

exterminated
whole races,

committed acts
beyond the belief

of all sentient beings.

The wind swords said
you were sentimental--

a fatal flaw
in a warrior.

You still
haven't explained

why you want to help
the same people

you butchered
30 years ago.

My race is gone,

their names cursed
in history.

Even my homeworld
no longer exists.

I am the last
of the Dilgar,

but my discovery
will ensure

that the galaxy
remembers us with honor.

It will be a monument
to our vision.

A monument?

That's what
you're after?

Delicious irony,
don't you think,

that those who cursed us
will have to thank us

for the rest of time?

Commander, time to go?

Commander Sinclair,

that woman is the
war criminal jha'dur,

known to our worlds
as deathwalker.

We demand
a full assembly at once

to discuss her trial

on charges of crimes
against sentience.

Ambassador Kalika,

I'm sure Earth Alliance
will welcome

all your representatives
to discuss this matter.

However, jha'dur
is in my custody,

and I have orders
to send her to Earth--

orders I cannot disobey.

You will have to
kill us all first.

Very well.
We'll convene in 3 hours.

Jha'dur will be held
in maximum security

until then.

A fatal flaw, indeed.

Mr. Garibaldi,
escort this woman back

to her holding quarters,

and double
the guard on her.

Ambassador,
I've thought it over,

and I don't believe
that I can continue

with this assignment.

Your opinion does
not enter into it.

We have a contract.

I know that, but you don't
really need a telepath.

What is need compared
to the path?

Ah! Traffic
was murder,

but here I am.

Miss Winters,

so lovely
to see you again.

[Indistinct conversation]

You know, we're sitting
on a fusion bomb here.

At least it's out
in the open now.

Jha'dur will get the
justice she deserves.

Don't be so sure.

The Narns
and the Centauri

both collaborated
with the Dilgar.

The last thing they want
is a trial.

True, but with my vote
and the Minbari vote,

the council
will be deadlocked,

and the league will have
the deciding vote.

What about Kosh?

He refuses
to participate,

as usual.

What makes you so sure

the Minbari will vote
for a trial?

There's no reason
for them not to,

and they're
an honorable people.

Listen, Jeff,
I got a little hot before,

said some things...

Forget it.

You didn't say anything
I hadn't thought myself.

So, I shouldn't listen
to rumors, huh?

Sorry, Ambassador.

We thought it best
to handle this quietly.

Ah. Great job.

Mr. Lennier,
have you spoken

with Ambassador Delenn?

Yes, Commander,

and I have been given
instructions.

Jeff, all the Ambassadors
are here,

and the chamber's
secure.

Good luck.

[Banging]

This meeting of
the Babylon 5 assembly

is called to order.

Ambassador Kalika,

representing the league
of nonaligned worlds,

will make
the opening statement.

30 years ago, the Dilgar
fell upon our worlds,

bringing terror, slavery,

and death.

With the help
of Earth Alliance,

we drove them
from our sectors

and brought their leaders
to justice...

All but one.

The worst of the lot--

deathwalker.

[All murmuring]

[Gavel bangs]

Now, the winds of fate
have delivered her

into our hands.

We of the league
have unanimously decided

that jha'dur be tried

for her crimes
against sentience,

that trial
to be held here

on Babylon 5
as soon as possible.

We now ask
that the advisory council

approve this decision.

[All murmuring]

Ambassador Mollari.

This woman,
deathwalker,

is indeed
a great villain.

We Centauri weep

for what she did
to your world.

However,

because she has
committed no crime

against our Republic,

I must reluctantly
vote no.

Traitor!

[Loud, overlapping talking]

I'm not surprised
the Centauri

are opposed
to a trial.

It's known the Dilgar
were merely mercenaries

for their Republic.

That is a lie!
It was you Narns

who collaborated
with this scum.

Centauri propaganda
to hinder our revolution.

That's enough.

Ambassador G'Kar,
your vote.

The Narn regime is noted

for its keen sense
of justice.

Therefore,
we vote yes...

On one condition--

that the trial
be held on Narn.

Our neutrality
during the invasion

assures fairness.

We are prepared

to transport her there
immediately.

[Overlapping protests]

The Narns have no right
to try jha'dur.

We are well aware
of their involvement

with her.

Their proposal
is unacceptable.

In that case,
the Narn regime

also votes no.

[Angry cries]

Ambassador Kosh
has declined to take part

in these proceedings.

On behalf of Earth Alliance,
I vote yes.

[Murmurs of approval]

Mr. Lennier.

As the Minbari were not
a part of this conflict,

we have no right
to judge her.

We must therefore...

Vote no.

[Cries of anger]

Counting the league's
single vote--

the decision is
3-2 against a trial

with one abstention.

I'm afraid we must find
some other solution.

This is outrageous!

Commander Sinclair,
you have always said

that our worlds
have a voice here.

Will you now deny us
this voice?

I'm afraid the rules of
the assembly are very clear,

but I have a compromise--

no!

No more compromises.

We will no longer
be dictated to

by the very powers
who aided

this woman's
atrocities.

We withdraw
from this assembly,

and rest assured,
you have not heard

the last of this!

Woman: Justice!

[Sighs]

I am sorry, Commander.

I have caused
this evil woman

to escape
her just fate.

The wind swords
did shelter her,

didn't they?

And your government
knew about it.

No, not at first.

When we went to war
with Earth,

the wind swords
came to the council

with weapons--
terrible weapons

created by this monster.

That's when
the council first learned

she was with them.

Of course, we could not
reveal it then,

and like all secrets
long kept,

we cannot bear the shame
of admitting it now.

Lieutenant Commander,

something is coming
through the jumpgate.

A Drazi sunhawk.
All stations at alert.

Station one,
open up a com channel

to the Drazi vessel.
Station 5, go to hypertrack.

I have the Drazi
vessel on line.

Babylon 5,
this is makar ashok.

In the name
of the Drazi freehold,

I demand
immediate extradition

of the war criminal
jha'dur.

Reject this demand,

and we will attack
immediately.

Drazi vessel moving
into firing range.

Scanners show
all weapons charged

and coming to bear.

All gunner rays,
target Drazi ship.

Makar ashok, our gunner rays
are now fixed on your ship.

They will fire the instant
you come into range.

You'll find their power
quite impressive...

For a few seconds.

[Hisses]

Drazi vessel is slowing.

Lieutenant Commander,
there's another surge

in the vortex.

What's happening?

The Drazi want immediate
extradition of jha'dur.

I imagine iksha and the vree
will make similar demands.

And according to reports,

there are more league ships
on the way.

Can you stall them?

Well, I can try--

do it.

Welcome to Babylon 5.

I am Lieutenant
Commander Ivanova.

How may we be
of assistance?

Ambassador,
call off those ships.

The league
and Earth Alliance

have always
been friends.

We can settle this matter
diplomatically.

At the moment,
we do not put much faith

in Babylon 5 diplomacy.

I fear we will soon
be severing our ties

with this place.

There's something
you should know

before making
that decision.

What's the situation?

Well, I've managed to get
the ship Captains engaged

in a debate over who has
the best claim to jha'dur.

The winner will be
the first to attack.

Creative.

Let's hope it
buys us enough time.

Lieutenant Commander,
the league ships

are moving out
of firing range.

What did you do?

I played a wild card,

but we're not
out of this yet.

Stay on alert. I'll
be in closed session

with the league.

Yes, sir.

Good job,
Lieutenant Commander.

A herring is
just a herring,

but a good cigar
is a Cuban.

A stroke
of the brush

does not
guarantee art

from the bristles.

Do you understand,
miss Winters?

[Gasps]

Aah!

[Moans]

Our business
is concluded.

You were swell.

Hey, maybe we can have
that jovian sunspot

some time.
Kosh, old boy...

A pleasure, as always.

Let's do lunch soon.

Miss Winters.

What is he,
and what was on

that data crystal
he gave you?

Reflection,

surprise,

terror...

For the future.

Kalika: Several of our
most renowned scientists

have checked
Dr. Franklin's data.

They concur
with his assessment.

A most
astounding discovery,

but deathwalker
must still be punished

for her crimes.

I agree.
And I have a compromise

which may serve
all our needs.

Earth is prepared

to develop jha'dur's
discovery immediately.

I propose
the league of worlds

choose a coalition
of scientists to assist her.

When this coalition
is satisfied

the serum is ready,

jha'dur will be turned over
to the league for trial.

[Whispers]

[Whispers]

Can we trust
your alliance

will honor
this agreement?

And what
of the council?

When news of this
is made public,

Earth Alliance
will have no choice.

As for the council,

it's already made
its decision.

This agreement
is between Earth

and the league,

just as it was
30 years ago

when we helped you
to defeat this woman

and her people.

It is fair...

And wise.

It's time.

Good.

I'm glad Na'Toth
didn't succeed.

I'm looking forward
to your trial.

Are you really
that naive, Commander?

Do you imagine Earth
alliance will permit

this charade of yours
to be carried out?

I'll see
that they have to.

It will only cost you
your command.

It is the way
of things, Sinclair.

The superior controls
the inferior.

In the final analysis,
we've won.

I don't think so.

No?

Then consider this:

You and the rest
of your kind

take blind comfort
in the belief

that we are monsters,

that you could never do
what we did.

The key ingredient
in the antiagapic

cannot be synthesized.

It must be taken
from living beings.

For one to live forever,
another one must die.

You will fall upon
one another like wolves.

It'll make what we did
pale by comparison.

The billions
who live forever will be

a testimony to my work,

and the billions
who are murdered

to buy that immortality

will be the continuance
of my work.

Not like us?

You will become us.

That's my monument,
Commander.

Get her the hell
off my station.

Woman in flight control:
Minbari flier 969

is now leaving
the docking center.

Ambassador Kosh.

Stand by to activate--

Lieutenant Commander,

something's coming
through the vortex.

It's a Vorlon ship.

Well, all's well
that ends well, huh?

Why?

You are not ready
for immortality.

Hell of an irony,
don't you think?

We find a reason
to keep jha'dur alive,

and the Vorlons smoke her
for the same reason.

You think it will always
be like this, Michael,

little powers at
the mercy of bigger powers,

politics before morality,
expediency before justice?

Seems to work
for everybody...

Except you.

Maybe that's why
I like you.

Commander,

may I speak to you
for a moment?

I think I may be
having a problem

with Ambassador Kosh.

Join the club.

What's wrong?

Yesterday,
Kosh hired me

to mediate on
a business deal,

but nothing about it
made sense.

They spoke
in riddles,

and I kept getting
these images in my head.

What kind of images?

Well, at first,

just quick flashes,
but then...

4 years ago,

I was assigned
to scan a suspect

in a murder case
on Mars colony.

He was a serial killer.

I'd never been inside
a mind like that before.

His thoughts were brutal,
violent, terrible.

It was the most frightening
experience I ever had.

I still have nightmares
about it.

Today, I felt
those same thoughts again,

but this time
it was no nightmare.

It was deliberately
provoked.

Who was Kosh
dealing with?

Another alien.

He said his name
was abbut.

Funny little guy
with a big hat,

drinks jovian sunspots?

Yes, that's him.
Do you know him?

He's a vicor.

It's slang term from
old Earth tech--

a vcr.

They're
cyberorganics--

living recorders--

part machine,
part sentient.

Several of the alien races
use them.

They can record
just about anything--

sight, sounds, biorhythms,
thought patterns.

I'd say you were set up.

But why?

The Vorlons are leery
of telepaths.

If Kosh knows
what you fear the most,

he can use it against
you in the future.

For what?

With the Vorlons,
who knows?

Ambassador Kosh has been
a busy boy today.

They say god works
in mysterious ways.

Maybe so,
but he's a con man

compared to the Vorlon.
