All language subtitles for Babylon 5 - The Gathering [1993] 480p 10bit DVD DD5.1 HEVC-Vyndros_track5_eng

Londo: I WAS THERE

AT THE DAWN OF
THE THIRD AGE OF MANKIND.

IT BEGAN
IN THE EARTH YEAR 2257

WITH THE FOUNDING OF THE LAST
OF THE BABYLON STATIONS,

LOCATED DEEP
IN NEUTRAL SPACE.

IT WAS A PORT OF CALL
FOR REFUGEES,

SMUGGLERS,
BUSINESSMEN, DIPLOMATS,

AND TRAVELERS
FROM A HUNDRED WORLDS.

IT COULD BE
A DANGEROUS PLACE,

BUT WE ACCEPTED THE RISK,

BECAUSE BABYLON 5
WAS OUR LAST,

BEST HOPE FOR PEACE.

BABYLON 5 WAS
A DREAM GIVEN FORM,

A DREAM OF A GALAXY
WITHOUT WAR

WHEN SPECIES
FROM DIFFERENT WORLDS

COULD LIVE SIDE BY SIDE

IN MUTUAL RESPECT.

BABYLON 5 WAS THE LAST
OF THE BABYLON STATIONS.

THIS IS ITS STORY.

CONFIRMED,
DELTA GAMMA 9er,

YOU ARE
CLEAR FOR DOCKING.

PLEASE SURRENDER
CONTROL OF YOUR VESSEL

TO CENTRAL COMPUTER
ON MY MARK. MARK!

BRING HER IN.
APPROACH VECTOR 5-5-7.

VECTOR 5-5-7.

CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY
WARNER BROS.

AG 27 FINAL APPROACH
TO DOCKING BAY 12-B.

GARIBALDI, WHAT'S UP?

LOOKING FOR
THE COMMANDER.

WE'VE GOT
SOMEONE IN BAY 12

NEEDS PERSONAL CLEARANCE
TO COME ABOARD.

I TRACKED HIM DOWN.

HE WAS CHECKING OUT
A TOURIST PROBLEM.

AND NO, I DON'T KNOW WHAT
HE MEANT, SO DON'T ASK.

I JUST HOPE IT WORKS OUT
BETTER THAN THE LAST ONE.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

? SET ME FREE ?

? LET ME FREE ?

? FROM THE AIR ?

? COME WITH ME ?

? SET ME FREE ?

? LET ME BE ?

I WOULDN'T.

YOU KNOW THE RULES
ABOUT CROSSING SPECIES.

STICK WITH THE LIST.

WHAT ARE YOU?
A BIGOT OR SOMETHING?

NO, BUT OBVIOUSLY
YOU'VE NEVER MET

AN ARNASIAN BEFORE.

AFTER THEY FINISH,
THEY EAT THEIR MATE.

UNITED SPACEWAYS TRANSPORT
DELTA GAMMA 9

NOW DOCKING IN BAY 7.

EARTH ALLIANCE PASSENGER VARNER
CLEARED FOR ENTRY.

NEW ARRIVALS, PLEASE CHECK
POSTED STATION REGULATIONS...

THAT'S HIM.

COMMANDER SINCLAIR,
LYTA ALEXANDER.

A PLEASURE.
WELCOME TO BABYLON 5.

IT'S ABOUT TIME EARTH CENTRAL
SENT US A TELEPATH.

CAN I SEE YOUR--

YOUR IDENTICARD?

EVERYTHING SEEMS
TO BE IN ORDER.

THANKS.

[BEEPING]

IT'S DUST ALL RIGHT.

OK. WE DO THIS QUIET
AND BY THE NUMBERS.

THE RULES ARE SIMPLE--

NO UNAUTHORIZED
MIND-SCANS

AND KEEP A LOG OF
ALL BUSINESS DEALINGS

YOU'RE HIRED TO MONITOR.

YOU'RE CLEARED FOR
ACCESS TO THE CASINO,

BUT GAMBLING'S
OFF-LIMITS.

EXCUSE ME. CAN I SPEAK
TO YOU FOR A MOMENT?

BESIDES GAMBLING'S
NEVER INTERESTED ME. I--

[WOMAN SCREAMING]

SHUT UP!
STAY BACK!

STAY BACK, OR I'LL KILL HER.
YOU HEAR ME?

WAIT HERE.

WHAT DO WE GOT?

DUST DEALER, SMALL TIME

GIVEN THE WAY HE TRIED TO
SMUGGLE THE STUFF IN HERE.

I THINK WE COULD
TAKE HIM OUT.

SOMEBODY'S BOUND TO GET
CAUGHT IN THE CROSS FIRE.

I'LL TALK TO HIM. BUT GET
A BACK-UP TEAM OUTSIDE, STAT.

[MAN SHOUTS]

I'M COMING OUT.

I'M UNARMED.

PUT THE GUN DOWN!

THIS ISN'T GOING TO WORK.

THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY
IN OR OUT OF BABYLON 5,

BACK THE WAY YOU CAME.

YOU GET PAST ME.
WHERE DO YOU GO THEN?

YOU MADE A MISTAKE,
BUT NO ONE'S BEEN HURT YET.

LET HER GO,
AND I'LL GUARANTEE YOU

SAFE PASSAGE
OFF THE STATION.

WHY SHOULD I
TRUST YOU?

BECAUSE I GIVE YOU
MY WORD.

AND BECAUSE RIGHT NOW,

5 MARKSMEN ARE TAKING UP
POSITION OUTSIDE.

TAKE HER OUT OF HERE,

AND THEY'LL BURN YOU
RIGHT DOWN TO THE GROUND.

IT'S YOUR CHOICE.

SEE THAT HE GETS
TO HIS SHIP, GARIBALDI.

OH, AND 2 THINGS.

ONE--NO WEAPONS OR DUST
ALLOWED ON BABYLON 5.

2--WE'VE LOGGED
YOUR SHIP'S I.D.

IF YOU EVER COME
WITHIN 50 CLICKS

OF THIS STATION AGAIN,

WE'LL BLOW YOU
OUT OF THE SKY.

COME ON, I'LL SHOW YOU
TO YOUR QUARTERS.

LIEUTENANT COMMANDER
TAKASHIMA!

THE SUPPLY SHIP SENT
BY MY GOVERNMENT

IS NOT BEING
ALLOWED TO DOCK!

THAT'S CORRECT. THEY WON'T
SUBMIT TO A WEAPONS SEARCH.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!

YOU KNOW THE REGS,
AMBASSADOR G'KAR.

SCANNING'S THE ONLY WAY

TO MAKE SURE NO WEAPONS
GET ON BOARD.

EXCEPT THOSE BELONGING
TO THE EARTH ALLIANCE.

THE NARN REGIME
IS DEDICATED TO PEACE.

SO, IN THAT CASE,

BEING THE PEACE-LOVING NARNS
WE'VE COME TO KNOW AND LOVE--

EXCEPT FOR A FEW PLANETS
WHO SAY YOU'VE INVADED THEM--

THEY SHOULDN'T MIND
BEING SCANNED, SHOULD THEY?

THIS WILL, OF COURSE,

BE REPORTED TO
THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY.

FAIR ENOUGH.

BUT AS FAR
AS I'M CONCERNED,

THEY CAN SIT OUT THERE
FOR THE NEXT SOLAR YEAR.

IF IT MAKES YOU
FEEL BETTER,

I COULD SEND THEM
A FRUIT BASKET.

YOUR QUARTERS
ARE IN RED 5.

WE CAN CUT THROUGH
THE ALIEN SECTOR HERE.

ARE YOU SET?

FOLLOW ME.

SINCE BABYLON 5 FUNCTIONS
MAINLY AS A FREE PORT,

OUR LIVING QUARTERS
ARE SET UP TO HANDLE

EVERY POSSIBLE
FORM OF LIFE.

WE CAN CUSTOMIZE
THE ATMOSPHERE...

EVEN ADJUST THE ROTATION
OF SOME SECTORS

TO VARY THE GRAVITY.

VERY IMPRESSIVE.

I'VE HEARD THAT ALL
4 ALIEN GOVERNMENTS

HAVE AMBASSADORS HERE.

ALMOST. THE FOURTH
ARRIVES IN 2 DAYS.

THEY WORK
AS AN ADVISORY COUNCIL,

LIKE THE U.N. ON EARTH
BEFORE IT WAS DISSOLVED.

YOUR QUARTERS ARE THAT
WAY, TURN TO THE RIGHT.

GOOD LUCK.

ONE LAST THING,
COMMANDER.

WHY IS IT
CALLED BABYLON 5?

BABYLONS 1, 2, AND 3

WERE SABOTAGED
AND DESTROYED.

NUMBER 4 VANISHED
WITHOUT A TRACE

24 HOURS AFTER
BECOMING OPERATIONAL.

TO THIS DAY, NO ONE KNOWS
WHAT HAPPENED TO IT.

SWELL.

WE'VE BEEN OUT OF CONTACT
WITH AMBASSADOR KOSH

EVER SINCE HIS SHIP LEFT
VORLON SPACE 8 DAYS AGO.

BASED ON HIS LAST
KNOWN POSITION,

HE'LL BE HERE
IN 48 HOURS.

YOU SPOKE TO HIM?
VIDEO OR AUDIO?

AUDIO ONLY. HE WAS HAVING
PROBLEMS WITH THE VID.

MYSTERIOUS AS EVER.

SECURITY ANALYSIS.

INCONCLUSIVE.
EARTH CENTRAL

SENT ME EVERYTHING
THEY HAVE ON THE VORLONS,

AND IT'S NOT MUCH.

NO HUMAN HAS
EVER SEEN A VORLON.

WHAT ABOUT MEDICAL?

THE SAME.

THEIR DIPLOMATIC OFFICE
SENT ME JUST ENOUGH DATA

FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL
CONTROL AND NO MORE.

BIOMAINTENANCE HERE ARE STILL
ADJUSTING THE ATMOSPHERE

FOR HIS LIVING QUARTERS.

PRETTY THICK STUFF.

HIGH LEVEL OF METHANE,

SULFUR, CO2.

WHAT ABOUT THEIR
PSYCHOLOGY, CUSTOMS,

SOCIAL ORDER...

HOW FAR THEY GO
ON THE FIRST DATE?

ALL RIGHT,
WE'LL PLAY IT BY EAR.

WHEN AMBASSADOR KOSH
ARRIVES,

WE'LL FINALLY HAVE
REPRESENTATIVES

FROM ALL 4 OF THE MAJOR
ALIEN GOVERNMENTS ON BOARD.

THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN
WORKING TOWARD FROM DAY ONE.

LET'S NOT MESS IT UP NOW.

[BEEP BEEP]

YES?

MESSAGE, COMMANDER.

AMBASSADOR DELENN
NEEDS TO SEE YOU.

SHE SAYS SHE'S
IN THE GARDEN.

ON MY WAY.

NOW ENTERING
GREEN LEVEL.

PLEASE STAND BY.

AMBASSADOR DELENN,

I'VE SEEN YOU
HERE BEFORE,

ALMOST
EVERY OTHER DAY.

IF YOU DON'T MIND
MY ASKING, WHAT--

NOTICE THE WAVES,

EACH MOVING
IN ITS OWN ORDER.

PREDICTABLE...

UNCHANGING.

BUT DROP IN
A SINGLE STONE

AND SEE HOW
THE PATTERN CHANGES.

EVERYTHING AROUND IT
IS ALTERED.

THIS IS FROM YOUR WORLD?

IT'S A JAPANESE
STONE GARDEN.

SINCE WE NEED
SO MUCH LAND

FOR HYDROPONIC CROPS
AND OXYGEN RECLAMATION,

SETTING THIS ASIDE
WAS TOUGH.

ONE OF THE DESIGNERS

CALLED IT A POOL FOR
ZEN SKINNY-DIPPING.

ALL YOU CAN DO IS THINK
ABOUT DOING IT.

I'M GLAD IT'S HERE.

ON MY WORLD, THERE ARE BOOKS,
THOUSANDS OF PAGES

ABOUT THE POWER OF ONE MIND
TO CHANGE THE UNIVERSE,

BUT NONE SAY IT
AS CLEARLY AS THIS.

IN 2 DAYS,

AMBASSADOR KOSH ARRIVES.

I LOOK FORWARD
TO MEETING A VORLON.

I'VE HEARD MUCH ABOUT THEM
THAT IS STRANGE.

SUCH AS?

DO YOU NOT HAVE
FILES ON THE VORLONS?

ABSOLUTELY.
VERY LARGE FILES.

THERE'S NOTHING
IN THEM, OF COURSE.

HOW MUCH
DO YOU HAVE?

MORE THAN YOU,
IT WOULD SEEM.

NATURALLY,
IT'S ALL CLASSIFIED.

NATURALLY.

HERE IS A COPY
OF EVERYTHING I HAVE.

IT MAY BE OF USE.

IF ANYONE ASKS,

SAY IT FELL
FROM THE SKY.

I IMAGINE I WILL
BE QUITE ASTONISHED

BY THIS BREACH OF SECURITY.

WHY?

THE WAR BETWEEN US HAS
BEEN OVER FOR 10 YEARS,

BUT THERE ARE STILL
PEOPLE ON EITHER SIDE

WHO'D HANG BOTH OF US
FOR THIS KIND--

COMMANDER...

YOU KNOW EVERYTHING
ABOUT A STONE GARDEN,

BUT CLEARLY,

YOU HAVE NOT SPENT NEARLY
ENOUGH TIME LOOKING AT IT.

GOOD DAY.

WHAT IS IT?

AN ENERGY SURGE
AT THE JUMP POINT.

IMPOSSIBLE. THEY AREN'T
ANY MORE SHIPS DUE UNTIL--

PUT IT ON SCREEN.

VORTEX ACTIVE.
CONFIRM INCOMING SHIP.

DAMN! THAT'S
A VORLON SHIP ALL RIGHT.

AMBASSADOR KOSH--
2 DAYS EARLY.

I WAS AFRAID
HE'D PULL THIS.

SECURITY'S NOT READY.
WE'RE NOT IN PLACE.

AND ALL BECAUSE HE WANTS
TO PLAY MYSTERIOUS

AND CATCH US OFF GUARD.

GET ME THE COMMANDER--
FAST.

LET'S HOPE NOTHING
ELSE GOES WRONG.

ABOUT TIME.

SORRY.
I WAS DELAYED.

[BEEPING]

PATCH INCOMING SIGNAL--
FULL AUDIO AND VIDEO DECODE.

HI.

I THOUGHT YOU WEREN'T
DUE BACK IN THIS SECTOR

FOR ANOTHER WEEK.

HAGGLING
WITH THE CENTAURI

IS ALWAYS
A SLOW PROCESS,

UNTIL YOU EXPLAIN

THAT UNLESS PAYMENT
IS MADE PROMPTLY,

THEIR MERCHANDISE WILL
BE DUMPED INTO SPACE

AND FIRED
INTO THE SUN.

NOT EXACTLY
FAIR MARKET BARGAINING.

I WAS IN A HURRY.

I DIDN'T THINK
YOU'D REPORT ME.

WE'LL DISCUSS THAT LATER.
I'M GLAD YOU'RE BACK.

WHEN DO YOU DOCK?

1 HOUR 40 MINUTES.

JUST IN TIME
FOR THE RECEPTION.

I'LL TELL YOU ABOUT IT
WHEN YOU ARRIVE.

I WAS THINKING ABOUT
SOMETHING MORE INTIMATE.

I PICKED UP SOME
CARNALLIAN BED SHEETS.

THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE
COMPLETELY FRICTIONLESS.

SEE YOU
IN 1 AND 40.

LIEUTENANT COMMANDER
TAKASHIMA!

ABOUT OUR SUPPLY SHIP,
I HAVE RECONSIDERED.

WITH THE NEW AMBASSADOR
ABOUT TO ARRIVE,

THIS IS HARDLY A TIME
FOR PETTY SQUABBLES.

I'VE TOLD OUR CAPTAIN

TO SUBMIT
TO YOUR WEAPONS SEARCH.

THAT'S...GREAT.

SINCE YOU DOUBTLESS
HAVE YOUR HANDS FULL,

OUR CAPTAIN WILL WAIT

UNTIL AFTER THE AMBASSADOR'S
SHIP HAS DOCKED.

IS THAT SATISFACTORY?

YES. YES, IT IS.

ARE YOU FEELING
ALL RIGHT, AMBASSADOR?

COULDN'T BE BETTER.

SEE YOU
AT THE RECEPTION THEN.

GOOD EATING TO YOU,
LIEUTENANT COMMANDER.

YES! AND NOW
WE NEED A 9.

AND NOW WE NEED
A 9, YES?

WE'RE GOING
TO PLAY A 9.

AMBASSADOR.

LONDO.

NO. WHAT?
NOT NOW, PLEASE.

I'M BUSY. GO AWAY.

I'LL TAKE 2 AND ROLL
FOR THE BALANCE.

AND, COME ON, NOW!

THERE, YOU SEE?
IT'S YOUR FAULT.

YOU'RE BAD LUCK.
I'VE ALWAYS SAID THAT.

NOW, COME ON.
COME ON.

GO! YOU'RE
A SECURITY CHIEF.

SHOULDN'T YOU
BE OUT...

SECURING SOMETHING?

STRIKE.

I AM. I'M SECURING YOU.

THE NEW AMBASSADOR
ARRIVED EARLY.

COMMANDER WANTS
TO MAKE SURE

YOU'LL BE IN
THE WELCOMING PARTY.

MR. GARIBALDI,

I'M A VERY BUSY MAN.

TAKE 3, NO ROLL.

8...10...

7...NO STRIKE, SIR.

HOUSE WINS AGAIN.

UGH!

OHH!

WELL, THAT'S IT,

AND IT'S TOO BAD.

I'D ALMOST FINISHED
WORKING OUT MY NEW SYSTEM.

JUST A FEW
MORE CREDITS, AND I--

WAIT. GARIBALDI...

MY GOOD, CLOSE FRIEND,

GARIBALDI!

NO, YOU DON'T.
NOT AGAIN.

LEND ME YOUR SUPPORT,
YOUR GOOD CHEER--

MY WALLET?

COME ON, GARIBALDI!

I KNOW THERE'S
AN ADVENTURER

LURKING INSIDE
THAT STEEL SHELL,

BURSTING TO GET OUT.

I'M CONFIDENT
MY SYSTEM WILL WORK.

WE'LL TAKE THEM TOGETHER,
SIDE BY SIDE,

JUST LIKE
IN THE OLD DAYS,

WHEN MY DEAR REPUBLIC
MOVED IN AND CONQUERED

THE ENTIRE BETA SYSTEM
IN 9 DAYS.

DID I TELL YOU
THAT STORY?

SEVERAL TIMES.

WE CAME
OUT OF THE SKY,

A VERITABLE CLOUD
OF STARSHIPS, AND THEN WE--

LONDO!

I WAS IN--

LONDO, NO!

N-O.

LOOK,
I'D LOVE TO STAY,

BUT I HAVE THINGS
TO DO.

NOW, BE
A GOOD AMBASSADOR

AND PROMISE YOU'LL
BE AT DOCKING BAY 9

IN 2 HOURS.

I DON'T WANT
TO COME GET YOU.

I'LL BE THERE.

WHAT ELSE HAVE I GOT
TO DO? I'M BROKE.

EXCUSE ME, I COULDN'T
HELP OVERHEARING.

THIS SYSTEM OF YOURS--

IT'S A SURE THING?

MY GOOD FELLOW,

I HAVE WORKED IT OUT
TO 15 DECIMAL POINTS.

ALL IT REQUIRES IS
A LITTLE BACKING, MR. UH...

VARNER.

VARNER?

DEL VARNER.

DEL VARNER.

ALL RIGHT THEN,
GOOD-BYE. 2 BENARIS.

NO, NO, NO.

IT'S FINE. WE CAN DEPOSIT
THE DOWN PAYMENT

IN 24 SOLAR HOURS.

BUT WE NEED
TO TAKE POSSESSION

OF THE SPARE PARTS

NO LATER THAN THE 15th.

CAN YOU DELIVER
BY THEN?

ABSOLUTELY. NO PROBLEM.

THE 22nd. HE'S--

HE'S THINKING
HE CAN'T DELIVER

ANY SOONER
THAN THE 22nd.

ONCE HE HAS
THE CONTRACT,

YOU CAN TAKE
A FLYING--

THAT'S WHAT I MEANT
TO SAY--THE 22nd.

UNACCEPTABLE.

BUT WAIT, WE--

WE CAN MAKE THE 15th.

IT'S JUST I'D HAVE TO
PAY THE WORKERS MORE,

BUT THAT WOULD CUT
MY PROFITS IN HALF.

HE'S TELLING
THE TRUTH.

BETTER HALF OF SOMETHING
THAN ALL OF NOTHING.

DONE. SEE YOU
ON THE 15th.

THANK YOU AGAIN
FOR YOUR SERVICES.

SOMEDAY, I'M GOING
TO FIND THE GUY

THAT THOUGHT UP THE IDEA

OF RENTING TELEPATHS
TO BUSINESSMEN,

AND I'M GOING
TO KILL HIM.

FUNNY. I JUST KNEW YOU
WERE GOING TO SAY THAT.

LYTA ALEXANDER?

YES?

AMBASSADOR G'KAR,
OF THE NARN REGIME.

MAY I SPEAK TO YOU
FOR A MOMENT?

OF COURSE.

WHEN I LEARNED
OF YOUR ARRIVAL,

I RAN A GENETIC SCAN
OF YOUR RECORDS.

MOST IMPRESSIVE.

A SIXTH-GENERATION
TELEPATH.

ACTUALLY, IT GOES BACK
FURTHER THAN THAT,

BUT THAT'S
WHEN EARTH CENTRAL

KEPT TRACK OF PEOPLE
WITH PSI CAPABILITY.

WE HAVE NO TELEPATHS
AMONG MY PEOPLE.

A GENETIC OVERSIGHT,
I SUPPOSE.

ONE WHICH YOU COULD
HELP CORRECT.

I AM EMPOWERED TO COMPENSATE
YOU QUITE HANDSOMELY

FOR YOUR
GENETIC BACKGROUND.

THE PROCESS WOULD BE
EITHER A DIRECT MATING--

YOU AND I--

OR THE DONATION
OF VITAL CELLS

FROM WHICH WE COULD
CLONE A REPLICANT.

YES, OBVIOUSLY
THE CLONING IS LESS EFFICIENT,

SINCE WE'D HAVE
TO GROW THE CLONE,

SO PAYMENT WOULD BE
PROPORTIONATELY SMALLER.

WE'D STILL HAVE TO FUSE
YOUR GENES WITH OUR OWN.

THAT WOULD
TAKE EVEN LONGER.

THE DIRECT MATING
IS FAR MORE...

COST-EFFECTIVE.

WOULD YOU PREFER TO BE
CONSCIOUS OR UNCONSCIOUS

DURING THE MATING?

I WOULD PREFER CONSCIOUS,

BUT I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOUR...

PLEASURE THRESHOLD IS.

CONFIRMED, AMBASSADOR.
YOU ARE CLEAR FOR DOCKING.

PLEASE SURRENDER
CONTROL OF YOUR VESSEL

TO CENTRAL COMPUTER
ON MY MARK.

MARK!

COMMANDER, THE VORLON SHIP
IS ON APPROACH TO BAY 9.

Sinclair:
ON MY WAY.

STATUS REPORT.

MOMENTARY POWER LOSS.

REROUTING TO SECONDARY
POWER SUPPLY.

TIME DELAY FACTOR--

2.3 MINUTES.

PLEASE STAND BY.

SORRY. THERE WAS
A PROBLEM WITH THE TUBE.

DID YOU GET LONDO?

HE WAS SUPPOSED
TO MEET ME HERE.

THE OTHERS
ARE IN RECEPTION.

[ALARM SOUNDS]

NOTIFY SECURITY.

GET THE DOORS OPEN.

OH, MY GOD.

BE CAREFUL, MICHAEL.

THAT'S AN ENVIRONMENT SUIT.

HE CAN'T TAKE
OUR ATMOSPHERE.

OPEN IT HERE,
AND THE AIR WILL KILL HIM.

HE COULD BE DEAD.
I CAN'T TELL.

TELL BEN THERE'S
A MED ALERT.

GET THE ISOLAB READY.

ON MY WAY.

DAMN!

Sinclair:
HOW MUCH LONGER?

WE'RE ALMOST THERE.

IF THE ATMOSPHERE MIX
ISN'T RIGHT,

WE'LL KILL HIM

AS SOON AS
WE CRACK THAT SUIT.

APPROACHING
NOMINAL DENSITY.

AS SOON AS IT'S PRESSURIZED,
I'M GOING IN.

MAYBE NOT.

WE GOT A REPLY FROM
VORLON HIGH COMMAND.

THEY INSIST THAT
THE AMBASSADOR'S

ENCOUNTER SUIT
CANNOT BE REMOVED...

FOR SECURITY
REASONS.

BUT THAT'S INSANE.

THEY DON'T WANT US
SEEING WHAT'S INSIDE.

THEY'D LET HIM DIE?

I'M AFRAID SO.

NO. WE HAVEN'T
COME THIS FAR

TO WATCH EVERYTHING
FALL APART.

JEFF, I'M WARNING YOU,

THEY'RE DEADLY SERIOUS
ABOUT SECURITY.

WE'LL GIVE THEM
SECURITY.

YOU'RE BOUND BY A VOW
OF CONFIDENTIALITY.

AS FOR THE REST,

STOP ALL DATA RECORDING.

THERE'LL BE NO RECORD
OF WHAT GOES ON IN THERE.

JEFF--

I TAKE
FULL RESPONSIBILITY.

JUST DO WHAT
YOU HAVE TO, BEN.

GOOD LUCK,

AND I HOPE
YOU'RE WRONG.

WRONG ABOUT WHAT?

WE WERE TALKING
THE OTHER DAY

ABOUT HOW NOBODY'S
SEEN A VORLON BEFORE.

HE SAID THAT,
ACCORDING TO LEGEND,

ONE HUMAN
DID SEE A VORLON.

HE TURNED TO STONE.

WELL, THAT'S...
JUST A LEGEND.

PROBABLY.

PROBABLY.

THERE MUST BE A WAY.

SOME MEANS, SOME...

YOU STILL DON'T KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED?

Sinclair:
NOT YET, SENATOR.

DR. KYLE'S
STABILIZED HIM,

BUT UNTIL WE KNOW

THE CAUSE
OF HIS PROBLEM,

THERE'S STILL
A GOOD CHANCE

HE COULD DIE.

LET'S HOPE NOT.

THE VORLON GOVERNMENT
FINDS IT SUSPICIOUS

THAT HE WAS OUT OF HIS SHIP
LESS THAN A MINUTE

WHEN HE SUDDENLY
FELL ILL.

NO ONE'S TALKING
ABOUT RETALIATION YET,

BUT IF THIS IS
AN UNNATURAL ILLNESS

OR IF ANYONE
DID ANYTHING TO HIM,

THIS COULD ESCALATE FAST.

WHO'S HANDLING
THE INVESTIGATION?

MY SECURITY CHIEF,
MICHAEL GARIBALDI.

IS THAT WISE?

I WAS OPPOSED TO YOU
BRINGING HIM ON

IN THE FIRST PLACE.

HE'S BEEN BOUNCED
BETWEEN STATIONS FOR YEARS.

PERHAPS HE'S NOT UP TO
AN INVESTIGATION OF THIS SCALE.

I HAVE EVERY CONFIDENCE
IN HIM, SENATOR.

I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT.

KEEP ME INFORMED, JEFF.

EARTH CENTRAL OUT.

SORRY YOU HAD
TO HEAR THAT.

OLD NEWS.

SO WHAT'S THE PROGRAM?

FIND OUT
WHERE EVERYONE WAS

DURING
THE 5-MINUTE PERIOD

BETWEEN THE TIME
THE AMBASSADOR DOCKED

AND WE FOUND HIM.

YOU'LL HAVE FULL ACCESS.

THAT'LL
MAKE THINGS EASIER.

I'LL START WITH LONDO.

HE DIDN'T MEET US
OUTSIDE THE DOCKING BAY.

I WANT TO KNOW WHY.

GOOD. AND CHECK
THE TRANSPORT TUBE.

A MALFUNCTION KEPT ME
FROM REACHING BAY 9 IN TIME.

MAYBE A COINCIDENCE BUT--

UH, I'M ON IT.

ONE OTHER SUGGESTION...

YOU'VE BEEN UP
ALMOST 36 HOURS.

BETTER GET SOME REST.

I GOT A HUNCH IT'S GOING
TO GET HOT DOWN THE ROAD.

I LET MYSELF IN.

YOU SHOULD CHANGE YOUR
ACCESS CODE MORE OFTEN.

CAROLYN.
I'M SORRY, I FORGOT.

I WAS GOING TO MEET
YOUR SHIP, BUT--

IF WHAT I HEARD IS TRUE,
I UNDERSTAND. IS IT TRUE?

DEPENDS.

HOW BAD
IS WHAT YOU HEARD?

PRETTY BAD.

THEN IT'S TRUE.

THIS ISN'T
A GOOD TIME.

I KNOW.

LET ME
MAKE IT BETTER.

CONFIRMED PRESENCE
OF FOREIGN COMPOUND.

TYPE UNKNOWN.

PROGNOSIS TERMINAL.

[BEEPING]

Sinclair:
BEN?

I JUST FINISHED MY TEST
ON THE AMBASSADOR.

IT TOOK LONGER
THAN I EXPECTED.

EVEN FOR AN ALIEN,

THIS ONE
IS PRETTY ALIEN.

BUT FROM THE RESULTS...

JEFF,
IT LOOKS LIKE POISON.

CAN YOU COUNTERACT IT?

NOT WITHOUT KNOWING
WHICH POISON WAS USED.

THERE'S PROBABLY
ENOUGH CONCENTRATED

WHERE IT ENTERED HIS BODY
TO MAKE A MATCH,

BUT I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW
THE POISON GOT INTO HIS SYSTEM.

WHAT'S YOUR PROGNOSIS?

LIFE SIGNS ARE DROPPING
5% EVERY HOUR.

IF WE CAN'T FIND OUT
WHAT HAPPENED,

THE AMBASSADOR WILL BE DEAD
IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS.

ALL RIGHT.

KEEP ME INFORMED.

SECURITY.

SECURITY HERE.

THIS IS COMMANDER
JEFFREY SINCLAIR.

WE HAVE CONFIRMATION
OF AN ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.

AS AUTHORIZED UNDER
EARTH ALLIANCE REGULATIONS,

I'M HEREBY SEALING OFF
THE STATION.

AS OF NOW, NO ONE ENTERS
OR LEAVES BABYLON 5.

WHY WON'T YOU
ACCEPT THE FACTS?

WHO WAS
THE ONLY ONE MISSING

WHEN KOSH ARRIVED?

LONDO MOLLARI.

AND WHY WOULD
THE CENTAURI REPUBLIC

WANT TO KILL
AMBASSADOR KOSH?

WHAT BETTER WAY TO
PROP UP A FADING EMPIRE

THAN TO START A WAR?

THEY'VE TRIED
JOINING FORCES

WITH EARTH ALLIANCE
FOR YEARS.

A MUTUAL ENEMY WOULD
SERVE THAT PURPOSE WELL.

IF YOUR
ASSUMPTION'S CORRECT,

AND HE IS THE ASSASSIN,

WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST?

AN ALLIANCE...

BETWEEN
OUR GOVERNMENTS.

YOURS IS THE OLDEST
OF THE 5 FEDERATIONS.

OURS
IS THE YOUNGEST.

TECHNOLOGICALLY

YOU'RE CENTURIES AHEAD
OF EVERYONE ELSE.

WE HAVE UNLIMITED MANPOWER
AND THE WILL TO USE IT!

CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT
WE COULD ACHIEVE TOGETHER?

I CAN...

WHICH IS WHY IT MUST NEVER
BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN.

YOUR PERCEPTIONS
ARE COLORED

BY YOUR HISTORY
WITH THE CENTAURI.

AS FORMER SLAVES
OF THAT GOVERNMENT,

YOU WOULD SEIZE
ANY OPPORTUNITY

TO RAISE A FORCE
AGAINST THEM.

WE WERE NEVER SLAVES.

OUR WORLD WAS INVADED,
OUR PEOPLE--

THE WORD
WAS ILL-CHOSEN.

MY APOLOGIES.

BUT MY DECISION STANDS.

THANK YOU FOR COMING,
AMBASSADOR.

HAH!

I SHOULD HAVE
KNOWN BETTER

THAN TO WASTE
MY TIME.

YOU'RE WORSE
THAN THE CENTAURI.

THEY'RE BEYOND
THE DREAM OF CONQUEST,

BUT YOU HAD THE EARTH
ALLIANCE ON ITS KNEES!

ONE MORE STROKE, AND YOU
WOULD HAVE DEFEATED THEM!

BUT YOU SURRENDERED.

WHY?

WE HAD OUR REASONS.

ON NARN, WE HEARD

THAT THE DECISION
TO SURRENDER

CAME FROM
YOUR HOLY MEN--

A SECRET GROUP

CALLED THE GREY COUNCIL.

WEAK, FRIGHTENED OLD FOOLS

WITH NO VISION OR THE WILL
TO FIGHT, BUT WE--

[GASP]

AAH!

AAH!

YOU ARE BEING HELD

BY A FORCE
OF 2 GRAVITIES.

YOU WILL SWEAR
HERE AND NOW

THAT YOU WILL
NEVER AGAIN

MENTION THE GREY COUNCIL
IN MY PRESENCE.

3 GRAVITIES.

6 WILL CRUSH
YOUR RIBS TO JELLY

AND EXPLODE YOUR HEART.

4 GRAVITIES.

5!

I SUGGEST
YOU LEAVE NOW.

OH, DELENN.

OH, DELENN.

I GAVE YOU A CHANCE
FOR GREATNESS,

AND YOU
THREW IT AWAY.

WHATEVER
HAPPENS NOW...

LET IT BE
ON YOUR OWN HEAD.

WHAT ARE YOU
SHOPPING FOR TODAY?

CAN I BUY YOU
A DRINK?

LONDO.

OH, MR. GARIBALDI.

I SUPPOSE YOU HEARD
WHAT HAPPENED.

ABOUT
THE AMBASSADOR? YES.

IT'S A PITY.

I SUPPOSE THERE'LL
BE A WAR NOW, HMM?

ALL THAT
RUNNING AROUND

AND SHOOTING
AT ONE ANOTHER?

YOU'D HAVE THOUGHT IT
WOULD GO OUT OF FASHION.

WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE
AMBASSADOR'S SHIP WAS DOCKING?

I DON'T THINK I LIKE
THE TONE OF YOUR QUESTION.

I SUGGEST
YOU REMOVE YOUR HAND.

AS AN AMBASSADOR, I HAVE
DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY.

READ YOUR TREATY.

AS OF 2 HOURS AGO,

I'VE GOT
FULL DIPLOMATIC ACCESS,

SO WHERE WERE YOU WHEN
THE AMBASSADOR WAS DOCKING?

COULD I HAVE ANOTHER,
PLEASE? THE SAME.

I WAS IN THE CASINO,
AT THE GAMING TABLE.

I THOUGHT
YOU HAD NO MONEY.

YES. A MAN NAMED
DEL VARNER

OFFERED
TO COVER MY BETS.

THERE'S A CRIMINAL
FOR YOU.

HE PROMISED
TO BACK MY BETS,

THEN PULLED OUT AFTER
I'D RUN UP A BILL.

HE'S HERE IF YOU
WANT TO SEE HIM.

HE'S--
HE'S RIGHT THERE

IN THE CHECKED COAT.

CAN ANYONE
CONFIRM YOUR STORY?

YES. THE NEW TELEPATH,
LYTA ALEXANDER.

I SAW HER
TALKING TO VARNER

SHORTLY
AFTER YOU LEFT.

THANK YOU.
PUT IT ON HIS TAB.

WHO'D WANT TO KILL
THE AMBASSADOR?

MR. GARIBALDI,

IT'S A BIG UNIVERSE.

IF I KNEW
WHO DID IT,

I WOULD TELL YOU.

I'M NOT HERE
TO MAKE TROUBLE.

DO YOU KNOW
WHY I AM HERE?

I'M HERE TO GROVEL

BEFORE YOUR WONDERFUL
EARTH ALLIANCE

IN THE HOPES OF ATTACHING
OURSELVES TO YOUR DESTINY.

LIKE...

WHAT ARE THOSE FISH
CALLED ON YOUR PLANET

THAT ATTACH THEMSELVES
TO SHARKS?

REMORAS.

YES.

YOU MAKE VERY GOOD SHARKS,
MR. GARIBALDI.

WE WERE PRETTY GOOD
SHARKS OURSELVES ONCE,

BUT SOMEHOW...

ALONG THE WAY...
WE FORGOT HOW TO BITE.

THERE WAS A TIME

WHEN THIS WHOLE QUADRANT
BELONGED TO US.

WHAT ARE WE NOW?

12 WORLDS AND 1,000
MONUMENTS TO PAST GLORIES,

LIVING OFF MEMORIES
AND STORIES.

SELLING TRINKETS.

MY GOD, MAN,

WE'VE BECOME
A TOURIST ATTRACTION.

SEE THE GREAT
CENTAURI REPUBLIC.

OPEN 9:00 TO 5:00,
EARTH TIME.

ANYTHING ELSE?

NO.

THANK YOU,
AMBASSADOR.

NICE SHARK.

PRETTY SHARK.

BABYLON CONTROL.
REQUEST FUEL TRANSFER

HEADING FOR SECONDARY BASE.

[DOORBELL]

YES?

BEN! COME ON IN.

YOU LOOK EXHAUSTED.

I AM. I'VE BEEN TAKING
STIMS TO STAY ALERT.

IT'S AWFUL STUFF.

WELL, HOW ABOUT
SOME COFFEE?

IT'S FRESH, GROUNDED
ABOUT AN HOUR AGO.

COFFEE?

FRESH GROUND COFFEE?

WHERE ON EARTH--

NOT EARTH, HERE.

I BROUGHT ALONG
SOME SEEDLINGS

WHEN THE STATION WENT
OPERATIONAL LAST YEAR.

TALKED ONE
OF THE HYDROPONICS GUYS

INTO SETTING ASIDE
A COUPLE OF PLANTERS FOR ME.

SO I GET ENOUGH
FOR A COUPLE OF POTS

EVERY FEW MONTHS.

THAT'S--

AGAINST REGS. I KNOW.

THE GARDEN IS TO BE USED
STRICTLY FOR GRAINS,

FRUITS, AND VEGETABLES,

AND IF YOU REPORT ME,
YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY.

I DIDN'T SEE A THING.

AHH!

HMM.

AHH!

LAUREL...

I'VE DONE EVERYTHING I CAN
FOR AMBASSADOR KOSH,

BUT HE'S SLIPPING AWAY.

HE'LL DIE UNLESS WE
FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED

IN THAT AIR LOCK.

BUT THE MONITORS
WERE TURNED OFF

ON THE INSISTENCE
OF THE VORLON GOVERNMENT.

NO ONE SAW
WHAT HAPPENED.

NO?

ONE PERSON KNOWS
EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.

AMBASSADOR KOSH HIMSELF.

AH, NO.

NO, NO, NO.
OUT OF THE QUESTION.

THE VORLONS WOULD NEVER
ALLOW KOSH TO BE SCANNED.

THEY'D RATHER
LET HIM DIE FIRST.

THAT'S WHY
WE WON'T TELL THEM.

DOES THE COMMANDER
KNOW ABOUT--

NO. I HAVE NOT
MENTIONED THIS TO HIM.

SO...

IF WE SCREW UP...

IT'S ONLY
ON OUR HEADS.

WHICH WILL END UP
ON A SILVER PLATTER, RIGHT?

DO YOU KNOW
WHAT MY FIRST JOB WAS

STRAIGHT OUT OF
EARTHFORCE TRAINING?

MARS COLONY SECURITY.

RIGHT BEFORE
THE FOOD RIOTS.

I HEARD ABOUT THAT.

TOUGH PLACE.

WASN'T THERE
A SCANDAL--

SOMETHING
ABOUT KICKBACKS?

IF YOU WANTED
A PROMOTION,

YOU HAD TO PAY OFF
THE SECTOR CAPTAIN.

I REFUSED.
SO THEY LET ME ROT,

REFUSED TO LET ME
OUT OF MY CONTRACT.

SO I STARTED
BREAKING THE RULES,

PUTTING EVERYONE'S
SAFETY AT RISK

BECAUSE I JUST
DIDN'T CARE ANYMORE.

WHEN JEFF CAME IN,

HE PROMISED THAT IF I'D STOP
FEELING SORRY FOR MYSELF

AND FIGHT...
WITHIN THE RULES,

HE'D MAKE SURE
I GOT PROMOTED.

HE KEPT HIS PROMISE.

I HAVEN'T BROKEN THE RULES
IN A LONG TIME, DOCTOR,

SO I GUESS I'M ABOUT DUE.
COUNT ME IN.

THANKS.

I CAN'T THINK OF ANYONE

I'D RATHER HAVE ALONGSIDE
WHEN WE FACE COURT-MARTIAL.

NOT SO FAST. WE STILL
HAVE TO TALK HER INTO IT,

AND I HAVE A FEELING
IT WON'T BE EASY.

DO YOU KNOW
WHAT THE PENALTIES ARE

FOR UNAUTHORIZED MIND-SCANS
WITHOUT A COURT ORDER

OR PERMISSION
FROM NEXT OF KIN?

I COULD BE THROWN OUT
OF THE PSI-CORPS.

WE UNDERSTAND
YOUR CONCERNS.

DO YOU?

IT TAKES YEARS TO TRAIN
FOR A P-5 CLASSIFICATION.

HALF OF THOSE WHO TRY
BURN OUT

OR END UP VEGETABLES.

I'M NOT
THROWING THAT AWAY.

LYTA...

IF THE AMBASSADOR DIES,
THE VORLONS WILL RETALIATE.

THIS STATION IS THEIR
FIRST LOGICAL TARGET.

IF I WERE
IN THEIR POSITION,

I'D HAVE A CRUISER
STANDING BY IN HYPERSPACE

JUST WAITING TO ATTACK US.

THOUSANDS WOULD DIE,

AND AFTER US,
WHO KNOWS HOW MANY MORE?

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

NO, OF COURSE NOT.
THAT'S NOT FAIR.

NO, IT'S NOT,

BUT THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE STUCK WITH.

NO ONE CAN FORCE YOU
TO DO THIS, LYTA.

IT HAS TO BE
YOUR CHOICE.

IF I DO THIS, IF I DO,

WHAT ARE THE ODDS
HE'LL REMEMBER THE CONTACT?

HE'S SO FAR OUT OF IT...

I DON'T THINK HE'LL HAVE
ANY MEMORY OF YOUR SCAN.

BUT YOU'RE NOT SURE?

NO.

SO,
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

A FEW THINGS THAT DON'T ADD UP
BUT NOTHING FIRM YET.

IT TURNS OUT ONE ALIBI
I CHECKED OUT DOESN'T HOLD UP.

OH, WHOSE?

YOURS.

THE TUBE'S ACCESS RECORD
SHOWS NO INDICATION

OF THE MALFUNCTION
YOU MENTIONED.

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

UNLESS SOMEONE ALTERED
THE COMPUTER RECORDS...

THERE WAS NO MALFUNCTION.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I DON'T KNOW YET,
BUT I WILL.

ONE THING'S FOR SURE--
KNOWING YOUR WORK,

I'D HATE FOR US
TO END UP

ON OPPOSITE SIDES
OF AN INVESTIGATION.

SO WOULD I,
COMMANDER.

SO WOULD I.

LIFE SUPPORT,
THIS IS C-AND-C.

WE'RE REGISTERING A .001
DROP IN OXYGEN PRESSURE

OUTSIDE BLUE 5,
LEVEL B.

CAN YOU SEND
MAINTENANCE OUT?

WILL DO.
LIFE SUPPORT OUT.

WHEN I GET INSIDE,
IT'S SUBJECTIVE.

I'LL FEEL WHAT HE FELT,

BUT I'LL SEE MY BODY,
NOT HIS.

THIS COULD GET ROUGH.

I CAN'T SEE HIM
THROUGH THIS ENCOUNTER SUIT.

TRUST ME.

IT'S BETTER
THIS WAY.

JUST DO
WHAT YOU CAN.

I--I CAN'T GET THROUGH.

THIS SUIT MUST BE SHIELDED.

IS THERE ANY WAY TO
INTENSIFY CONTACT?

YEAH.

YEAH, THERE IS.

HERE GOES.

OK.

ALL RIGHT.

THERE'S SOMETHING...

A FEELING...

[GASPS]

AMBASSADOR KOSH?

WELCOME TO BABYLON 5.

[KOSH ANSWERS
IN ALIEN LANGUAGE]

AAH!

[LAUGHING]

AAH!

GET HER OUT!
RIGHT NOW!

COME ON, COME ON.

Laurel: OVER HERE.
BRING HER OVER HERE.

EASY.

EASY.

HERE.

OH!

CAN YOU HEAR ME?

FIGHT YOUR WAY CLEAR.

YOU'RE OK. COME ON.

IT WAS...POISON.

POISON...

IN A--IN A...
IN A SKIN TAB.

IN HIS...

RIGHT HAND...

IN THE BACK
JUST BELOW THE WRIST.

THE POISON IS THERE.

WHO DID IT,
LYTA?

WHO POISONED
THE AMBASSADOR?

HE DID!

HE'S THE ONE!

HE TRIED TO KILL
THE AMBASSADOR!

I SAW IT!

I SAW IT!

LIFE SUPPORT TO CENTRAL.

CONFIRMING LAUNCH
OF MAINTENANCE 'BOT.

BEGINNING
HULL INTEGRITY SURVEY.

WILL TRANSMIT RESULTS
UPON COMPLETION.

COMMANDER,
YOU WANTED TO SEE US?

SIGNAL FROM EARTH CENTRAL--
ULTRAVIOLET PRIORITY.

DOESN'T SOUND GOOD.

HOW MUCH DO THEY KNOW?

JUST THAT A WITNESS
HAS COME FORTH

AND IDENTIFIED
THE COMMANDER.

HOW'S AMBASSADOR KOSH DOING?

THANKS TO THE
INFORMATION FROM LYTA,

WE'VE BEEN ABLE
TO LOCATE THE POISON

AND ANALYZE THE RESIDUE.

WE'RE WORKING ON
A COUNTERAGENT NOW.

[BEEPING]

COMMANDER SINCLAIR,

IN THE LAST HOUR,
I HAVE BEEN

IN COMMUNICATION
WITH THE VORLON GOVERNMENT.

SINCE YOU'RE, UM,

WELL, A SUSPECT,

THEY'VE ASKED

THAT THE INVESTIGATION
BE TAKEN OUT OF YOUR HANDS

FOR REASONS
OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

THE ADVISORY COUNCIL
WILL CONVENE IMMEDIATELY

TO CONSIDER THE SITUATION.

I UNDERSTAND.

LIEUTENANT COMMANDER
TAKASHIMA,

YOU WILL TAKE COMMANDER
SINCLAIR'S PLACE

ON THE COUNCIL.

WITH ALL DUE RESPECT,
SENATOR, I OBJECT.

THIS ENTIRE
SITUATION IS--

LAUREL...

THIS IS DIFFICULT
FOR ALL OF US,

BUT I ASK THAT YOU SET ASIDE
YOUR PERSONAL FEELINGS

AND CONSIDER THE BEST
INTEREST OF THE STATION.

ALL RIGHT.

I'LL DO MY BEST.

Senator: JEFF, ONCE
THE COUNCIL GETS INTO THIS,

THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO

WITHOUT COMPROMISING
THE NEUTRALITY OF BABYLON 5.

WE CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN.

I UNDERSTAND,
SENATOR.

THANK YOU FOR
TELLING ME YOURSELF.

BABYLON 5 OUT.

THAT'S IT? YOU'RE
GOING TO CAVE IN

AND LET THEM
DO THIS TO YOU?

I HAVE MY REASONS.

YOU CAN'T EXPECT US
TO DO NOTHING

WHILE THEY RAILROAD YOU.

I EXPECT YOU TO DO THIS
BY THE NUMBERS.

THE SAFETY OF BABYLON 5
IS MORE IMPORTANT

THAN ANY ONE MEMBER
OF HER CREW. AM I CLEAR?

VARNER, DEL VARNER.

IT'S ME--ERIC.
REMEMBER?

DR. KYLE,
YOU WERE PRESENT

WITH THE REST
OF THE PARTY

WHEN THE AMBASSADOR
ARRIVED.

YOU CAN CONFIRM THAT
COMMANDER SINCLAIR

WAS NOT PRESENT.
CORRECT?

THAT IS CORRECT.

HE WAS DELAYED
IN THE TRANSPORT TUBE.

BUT ACCORDING TO YOUR
OWN CHIEF OF SECURITY,

THE TUBE RECORDS
DO NOT REFLECT THIS.

WHY IS THAT?

I DON'T KNOW.

Delenn:
DOCTOR, IF I MAY,

WE HAVE HEARD THAT
THERE WAS A WITNESS.

IS THIS TRUE?

YES...AND NO.

THE INFORMATION
IS SECONDHAND

AND MAY OR MAY NOT BE
ADMISSIBLE.

THE WITNESS THINKS IT MAY
HAVE BEEN THE COMMANDER.

WHY ARE YOU
WITHHOLDING

THE NAME OF
THE WITNESS, DR. KYLE?

THE WITNESS REQUESTED ANONYMITY
FOR THE TIME BEING.

IF THIS SHOULD GO TO TRIAL,
THAT WOULD CHANGE.

I SEE.

GIVEN THAT THE INFORMATION ABOUT
THE LOCATION OF THE POISON

PROVED ACCURATE,

IT SEEMS STRANGE

THAT YOU'D QUESTION
THE REST OF THE STORY.

AMBASSADOR MOLLARI,
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?

HMM? UH...NO.

NOT AT THIS TIME.
THANK YOU.

ONE LAST THING, DOCTOR.

YOU SAID YOU WERE FINALLY
ABLE TO ANALYZE THE POISON.

WHAT KIND WAS IT?

FLOURAZYNE.

IT'S PRETTY RARE.

ONLY COMES FROM ONE SYSTEM
THAT I'M AWARE OF--

THE DAMOCLES SECTOR.

WERE YOU AWARE
THE COMMANDER'S WOMAN

RECENTLY RETURNED FROM
A TRADING EXPEDITION

TO THE DAMOCLES SECTOR?

JUST A MINUTE.

COMMANDER.

AND THAT HER SHIP,
THE ULYSSES,

DOCKED AT THIS
STATION 20 MINUTES

BEFORE THE ATTEMPTED
ASSASSINATION?

DAMN IT. LEAVE
CAROLYN OUT OF THIS.

NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

OK, YOU'RE SAYING
YOU DON'T BELIEVE

WHAT LYTA ALEXANDER SAW
IN THE AMBASSADOR'S MIND.

BASED ON WHAT?

I DON'T TRUST TELEPATHS.
NEVER HAVE, NEVER WILL.

WHO KNOWS
WHAT SHE REALLY SAW?

I'VE SEEN HER A LOT
WITH DEL VARNER,

THE ONE WHO KEPT LONDO FROM
ATTENDING THE RECEPTION.

SO?

I CHECKED
WITH EARTH CENTRAL.

TURNS OUT VARNER HAS
A CRIMINAL RECORD

GOING BACK 5 YEARS.

HE'S BEEN INDICTED
3 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR

FOR TECH-RUNNING.

TAKE A LOOK?

ALL THESE INDICTMENTS ARE FROM
THE EARTH ALLIANCE COURT.

"SMUGGLING FORBIDDEN TECHNOLOGY
FROM THE VEGA SYSTEM."

SAME AGAIN FROM
THE PROXIMA SYSTEM.

EXACTLY. THE MINUTE
HE SETS FOOT ON BABYLON 5,

HE'S IN EARTH JURISDICTION
AND SUBJECT TO ARREST.

WHY WOULD HE TAKE
THAT KIND OF RISK?

THERE'D HAVE TO BE
SOMETHING MAJOR AT STAKE.

SOMETHING ELSE.

VARNER PROMISED TO BACK
LONDO'S CASINO BETS,

THEN BACKED OUT,

BUT VARNER DOES BUSINESS
WITH THE CENTAURI REPUBLIC.

WHY RISK ALIENATING HIS
CLIENTELE BY BURNING LONDO?

FOR THAT MATTER,
WHY BACK LONDO AT ALL?

TECH-RUNNERS AREN'T
NOTED FOR GENEROSITY.

NO, AND APPARENTLY, VARNER
HAS BEEN HEAVILY IN DEBT.

COULDN'T HAVE PAID LONDO'S
DEBTS IF HE WANTED TO.

IT JUST DOESN'T ADD UP.

HMM.

I DON'T KNOW
HOW HE FITS IN YET,

BUT I'LL BET YOU 100
CREDITS HE'S INVOLVED.

THEN I THINK
IT'S ABOUT TIME

YOU HAD A LITTLE TALK
WITH MR. VARNER.

AMBASSADOR MOLLARI...

I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS
YOUR VOTE WITH YOU.

[GAVEL BANGS]

THE BABYLON 5 ADVISORY COUNCIL
IS HEREBY RECONVENED.

RECORDERS ARE ACTIVATED.

AMBASSADOR G'KAR,
YOU WISH TO MAKE A MOTION?

COMMANDER SINCLAIR
IS A RESPECTED MEMBER

OF THE EARTH ALLIANCE
AND OF THIS COUNCIL.

THE IDEA THAT HE MAY
HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO

WITH THE ATTEMPTED MURDER
OF AMBASSADOR KOSH

IS REPELLENT
TO EVERYONE HERE.

GRANTED THERE IS A LONG
HISTORY OF ANIMOSITY

BETWEEN SOME
OF OUR MEMBER RACES.

GRANTED THAT
COMMANDER SINCLAIR

PERSONALLY TOOK PART

IN THE RECENT
EARTH-MINBARI WAR.

GRANTED--

AMBASSADOR.

OH, YES, OF COURSE.

I BELIEVE THAT
IT IS INAPPROPRIATE

FOR THIS COUNCIL TO ACT
AS JUDGE AND JURY

IN THIS MATTER.

WE'RE NOT A COURT,

AND WE DO NOT HAVE ALL
THE FACTS BEFORE US.

MAY I HUMBLY SUGGEST
THAT WE DECLINE

JURISDICTION
IN THIS MATTER?

THIS IS
MORE PROPERLY A MATTER

FOR A TRUE COURT OF LAW,
A COURT OF LAW

SUCH AS THAT
ON THE VORLON HOMEWORLD.

AFTER ALL,
THE CRIME COMMITTED

WAS AGAINST
THEIR AMBASSADOR.

I, THEREFORE, MOVE
THAT COMMANDER SINCLAIR

BE REMANDED FOR TRANSPORT
TO THE VORLON HOMEWORLD,

ALONG WITH WHATEVER
WITNESSES AND EVIDENCE

HAS BEEN ACCUMULATED,
THERE TO STAND TRIAL

ON THE CHARGE
OF ATTEMPTED MURDER.

AMBASSADOR.

UNLESS IT IS IN THE INTEREST
OF THE EARTH ALLIANCE

TO TRY AND COVER UP
THE FACTS.

IF THAT'S THE CASE,
THEN BABYLON 5 IS A FRAUD.

A MOTION STANDS
BEFORE THIS COUNCIL.

IT MUST BE VOTED UPON.

AS THE DULY APPOINTED
REPRESENTATIVE

OF THE NARN REGIME,
I VOTE YES.

WHAT DO
THE REST OF YOU SAY?

THE EARTH ALLIANCE
VOTES NO.

AMBASSADOR DELENN?

THE MINBARI FEDERATION...

ABSTAINS.

AMBASSADOR?

THE CENTAURI
REPUBLIC...

VOTES YES.

Takashima:
DEADLOCK, AMBASSADOR.

2 IN FAVOR,
2 OPPOSED OR ABSTAINING.

BUT THERE IS A FIFTH VOTE
TO BE HEARD FROM.

2 HOURS AGO,
I COMMUNICATED MY INTENTIONS

TO THE LEADERS
OF THE VORLON EMPIRE.

THEY REACHED A DECISION
ON THE MATTER

AND ASKED ME TO CAST
THEIR VOTE ON THEIR BEHALF.

THEY VOTE YES...

TO CONVEY COMMANDER SINCLAIR
TO THEIR WORLD FOR TRIAL,

WHICH MAKES THE VOTE
3 TO 2.

THE MOTION IS PASSED.

DEPORTATION IS TO TAKE
PLACE WITHIN 12 HOURS.

GOOD DAY.

DEL VARNER,

THIS IS SECURITY CHIEF
MICHAEL GARIBALDI.

I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU.

SORRY. ACCESS SYSTEM
IS NONFUNCTIONAL.

COME ON IN.

CHECK AROUND.

I'LL TAKE THE BACK.
YOU TAKE THE BEDROOM.

GOT IT.

ALL CLEAR
IN THE BACK.

OVER HERE.

DNA PATTERN
CHECKS OUT, JEFF.

IT'S DEL VARNER,
ALL RIGHT.

ANY IDEA
WHEN IT HAPPENED?

I'LL HAVE EXACT TIME OF
DEATH IN ABOUT AN HOUR.

SOMEONE'S TRYING
TO COVER THEIR TRACKS

AND DEAD-END
THE INVESTIGATION.

VARNER WAS THE KEY
TO THE WHOLE THING.

WHAT ABOUT
HIS PERSONAL EFFECTS?

I'VE GOT MY PEOPLE
GOING OVER THE PLACE NOW.

I'M NOT HOLDING OUT
ANY HOPE, THOUGH.

WHAT ABOUT AMBASSADOR KOSH?

ONCE I KNEW WHICH POISON
WE WERE DEALING WITH,

I CHECKED AROUND,

AND THERE'S A COUNTERAGENT
TO THE POISON.

WE HAVE SOME?

NO. BUT WE GOT
SOMETHING CLOSE.

I'M ALTERING THE
MOLECULAR STRUCTURE

SO IT WILL SERVE
THE SAME FUNCTION.

HOW LONG?

6, MAYBE 7 HOURS.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID

KOSH ONLY HAD
ANOTHER 10 HOURS LEFT.

I DID.

DON'T MAKE
ANY MISTAKES, BEN.

DAMN IT, MAYBE
THEY WERE RIGHT.

MAYBE YOU GOT THE WRONG MAN
FOR THIS JOB AFTER ALL.

WITH VARNER GONE, I DON'T
EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START.

MAYBE YOU OUGHT TO TURN
THIS OVER TO SOMEBODY ELSE.

YOU'RE TALKING TO
THE WRONG PERSON.

I'M SCHEDULED TO BE SHIPPED OFF
TO THE VORLON HOMEWORLD.

REMEMBER?

MICHAEL, I PICKED YOU

BECAUSE YOU'RE
RIGHT FOR THE JOB.

YOU'RE NOT POLITIC.

YOU'RE NOT SUBTLE,

AND SOMETIMES YOU'RE
A PAIN IN THE ASS,

AND I WOULDN'T HAVE IT
ANY OTHER WAY.

DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO.

JUST NAIL WHOEVER'S
RESPONSIBLE.

[DOORBELL]

COME.

AMBASSADOR, I--

YOU ARE UPSET.

OF COURSE I'M UPSET.

DAMN IT, DELENN,
HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO HIM?

I HAVE DONE NOTHING.

YOU'VE GOT THAT RIGHT.
YOU DIDN'T LIFT A FINGER

TO STOP JEFF FROM BEING SENT TO
THE VORLON HOMEWORLD FOR TRIAL.

MY GOD, YOU DIDN'T
EVEN VOTE IN HIS FAVOR

AT THE COUNCIL MEETING.
YOU ABSTAINED.

I DID NOT HAVE
ALL THE FACTS.

I STILL LACK
SOME OF THEM.

WHAT YOU LACK
IS A CONSCIENCE.

I THOUGHT JEFF
WAS YOUR FRIEND.

AFTER ALL HE'S DONE HERE
FOR YOU, FOR THE STATION,

THE ONE TIME HE NEEDED YOU,
YOU JUST WALKED AWAY.

I'M SORRY.

I CAN DO
NOTHING ELSE.

I HAVE MY ORDERS.

ON THE MATTER OF
COMMANDER SINCLAIR,

I'M HERE STRICTLY
TO OBSERVE.

OBSERVE WHAT?

IT'S ME.

NO OXYGEN MASK?

GILL IMPLANTS.

PAINFUL TO USE, BUT--

BUT EFFICIENT.

PRECISELY.

THERE'S BEEN
A COMPLICATION.

COME.

LIEUTENANT COMMANDER,

WE'VE LOST CONTACT WITH
THE MAINTENANCE 'BOT

WE SENT TO CHECK ON A
DROP IN OXYGEN PRESSURE

IN BLUE 5, LEVEL B.

CAUSE?

UNKNOWN.

GET A REPAIR CREW OUT THERE.
FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON.

MR. GARIBALDI...

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO SAY.

YOU KNOW I HAVE
THE GREATEST RESPECT

FOR YOUR
COMMANDER SINCLAIR.

YOU SURE HAVE A FUNNY WAY
OF SHOWING IT, AMBASSADOR.

YES, THE VOTE.

I CAN SEE WHY YOU'D
BE UPSET BY THAT,

BUT I DIDN'T KNOW.

G'KAR CAME TO ME
TO DISCUSS MY VOTE.

YOU JUST WENT ALONG
WITH SOMEBODY

WHO'D LOVE TO ROAST YOU
AND EVERY OTHER CENTAURI?

I HAD NO CHOICE.

BACK HOME,
OUR POSITION,

STATUS,
ALL THAT WE HAVE

IS BASED
ON FAMILY HISTORY.

G'KAR OFFERED ME
AN EXCHANGE--

MY COOPERATION IN
RETURN FOR EVIDENCE

SHOWING THAT DURING OUR RULE
OF THE NARN HOMEWORLD,

CERTAIN...ATROCITIES

WERE COMMITTED
BY MY GRANDFATHER.

YOU DIDN'T KNOW
ABOUT THIS?

OF COURSE I KNEW,

BUT WHAT'S DONE
IS DONE.

WHY BRING IT UP NOW?

THE POINT IS,

NO ONE ELSE
BACK HOME KNOWS...

AND IF IT WERE
TO GET OUT...

I COULDN'T
LET THAT HAPPEN.

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH,
MR. GARIBALDI,

I'M SORRY.

I DIDN'T THINK
MY COOPERATION

WOULD DO HIM
ANY GOOD.

2 VOTES FOR SHIPPING
SINCLAIR OFF,

TWO AGAINST--
A DEADLOCK.

I HAD NO IDEA HE'D CONTACTED
THE VORLON HOMEWORLD.

AND IF YOU HAD KNOWN,

WOULD YOU HAVE DONE
ANYTHING DIFFERENT?

NO.

NO, I'M AFRAID NOT.

COMMANDER SINCLAIR
IS A GOOD MAN.

I WOULD HATE
TO LOSE HIM.

THIS IS MY WEAKNESS,
MY FAILURE...

AND I'M SORRY...

TRULY SORRY.

LONDO?

THANKS.

ON SECOND THOUGHT, MAYBE
I BETTER COME BACK LATER.

NO. WAIT.

I'M SORRY.

DAMN IT, CAROLYN.

GIVE ME A SHIP,
TURN ME LOOSE

WITH NOBODY AT RISK
BUT MYSELF, THAT'S FINE.

IF I GET IN TROUBLE,
I'LL STAY AND FIGHT IT OUT.

BUT HERE...

I CAN'T.

WHY?

BECAUSE I'M SUPPOSED
TO REPRESENT EARTH.

AND EARTHERS
DON'T FIGHT?

JEFF...

YOU WEAR THAT
COMMANDER'S BADGE

LIKE YOU'RE AFRAID
YOU'LL BREAK IT.

YES, YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO SPEAK FOR EARTH.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE
POLITE AND DIPLOMATIC.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN
LETTING THEM CRUCIFY YOU.

AND IF YOU WANT
TO THROW SOMETHING,

THROW IT AT THOSE BASTARDS
AT EARTH CENTRAL

WHO TOSSED YOU
TO THE WOLVES.

JEFF...

THIS MEDAL...

YOU WERE ON THE LINE?

AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME?

THE BIGGEST BATTLE
OF THE EARTH-MINBARI WAR,

AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME?

I DIDN'T WANT
TO TALK ABOUT IT.

WHY?

I WAS SQUAD TEAM LEADER
WHEN THE CALL CAME IN.

WE ALL KNEW IT WAS
A SUICIDE MISSION.

THE MINBARI HAD BROKEN
THROUGH, CLOSING IN.

EVERY SHIP WE HAD LEFT WAS
ORDERED TO CIRCLE EARTH.

[MALE VOICE]
STAY IN FORMATION...

WE HAD
TO STOP THEM...

HOLD THE LINE. NOBODY
GETS THROUGH NO MATTER WHAT.

NO MATTER
WHAT IT COST.

THEY CAME AT US
OUT OF NOWHERE.

WE NEVER
HAD A CHANCE.

THE SKY WAS
FULL OF STARS,

AND EVERY STAR
AN EXPLODING SHIP...

[SCREAMING]

ONE OF OURS.

MY TEAM WAS BLOWN
OUT OF THE SKY

IN LESS
THAN A MINUTE.

I'M SORRY.

I MANAGED TO
TAKE OUT A FIGHTER

BEFORE THEY HIT
MY STABILIZERS.

I WAS LOSING POWER,
LOST MY TEAM...

AND I FIGURED IF
I WAS GOING TO DIE,

I'D TAKE SOME
OF THEM WITH ME,

SO I TARGETED ONE OF
THEIR HEAVY CRUISERS,

HIT MY AFTERBURNERS.

I WAS GOING TO
RAM THEM HEAD-ON.

THE LAST THING
I REMEMBER IS...

HURTLING TOWARD
THAT CRUISER...

FILLING MY SCREEN.

BIG.

MY GOD, SO BIG.

THEN SOMETHING PASSED
IN FRONT OF MY EYES.

I GUESS I...BLACKED OUT
FROM THE ACCELERATION.

WHEN I CAME TO
24 HOURS LATER,

THE CRUISER WAS GONE.

I CHECKED IN.

THEY TOLD ME
THE WAR WAS OVER.

THE MINBARI
HAD SURRENDERED.

BECAUSE OF THE LINE.

NO. THAT'S WHAT
I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU.

WE WERE BEATEN.

WE DIDN'T STOP THEM.
THEY STOPPED THEMSELVES,

AND I WISH TO HELL
I KNEW WHY.

WHEN WE GOT
BACK TO EARTH,

EVERYBODY TREATED US
LIKE HEROES,

BUT WE WERE FRAUDS.

JEFF,
YOU ARE NOT A FRAUD.

ANYONE WITH ENOUGH GUTS
TO GO ON THE LINE

DOESN'T HAVE TO
PROVE ANYTHING.

DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME?

MY WHOLE TEAM
WAS WIPED OUT.

I CAN'T LET THAT
HAPPEN AGAIN.

IS THAT WHAT
THIS IS ABOUT, JEFF?

ARE YOU GOING ALONG
WITH THIS OUT OF GUILT?

BECAUSE YOU THINK HISTORY
IS REPEATING ITSELF?

CAROLYN, I HAVE
A RESPONSIBILITY.

TO LEAD. YOUR TEAM
CHOSE TO GO ON THE LINE,

AND WE CHOSE
TO COME HERE.

OUR DECISION
AND OUR RISK...

NOT YOURS.

IF YOU WANT TO STAY
AND FIGHT THIS,

WE'RE WITH YOU.

JUST DO WHAT
YOU THINK IS RIGHT.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

TO GET SOME ANSWERS.

DR. KYLE.

I JUST DON'T
UNDERSTAND. HUH?

I THOUGHT I'D STOP BY

AND SEE HOW THE
AMBASSADOR WAS DOING.

DEFINITE PROGRESS.

THE COUNTERAGENT
SEEMS TO BE WORKING.

IF WE CAN KEEP
HIS CONDITION STABLE

FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS,
HE MAY HAVE A CHANCE.

IT'S EXTRAORDINARY.

LYTA, YOU SAW DEL VARNER
AT THE CASINO

AFTER THE AMBASSADOR
WAS ATTACKED, RIGHT?

ISN'T THAT WHAT I SAID?

YES, YOU DID.

AND GARIBALDI
SAID THE SAME THING.

BUT THAT'S WHAT'S
SO EXTRAORDINARY.

ACCORDING TO THE AUTOPSY
OF VARNER'S BODY,

HE'S BEEN DEAD
FOR NEARLY 36 HOURS,

MEANING YOU
AND GARIBALDI SAW

A DEAD MAN
AT THE CASINO.

THAT'S...

[ALARM]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
STOP! YOU'LL KILL...

AAH!

[SNARLS]

LYTA...ARE YOU OK?

BEN, THE AMBASSADOR.

I THINK
I GOT TO HIM IN TIME.

NOW, WILL SOMEONE
PLEASE TELL ME

WHAT THE HELL IS
GOING ON AROUND HERE?

AAH!

COMMANDER, WE'VE NEUTRALIZED
THE INTRUDER VESSEL.

WE'RE BRINGING IT IN.

WATCH YOUR STEP,
COMMANDER.

REPAIR CREW FOUND THIS STUCK TO
THE HULL OF BLUE 5, LEVEL B.

IT DESTROYED
A MAINTENANCE 'BOT

INVESTIGATING A DROP
IN OXYGEN PRESSURE.

ALMOST TOOK OUT
THE REPAIR CREW

BEFORE THEY COULD
DISABLE IT.

LOOKS LIKE
A TRANSPORT.

MY GUESS IS SOMEONE USED IT
TO FASTEN ONTO THE HULL

AND BURN THROUGH
INTO THE STATION.

Sheridan: HOW MANY
COULD HAVE COME THROUGH?

IT'S ONLY BIG
ENOUGH FOR ONE.

I GOT CREWS CHECKING
EVERY INCH OF THE HULL,

BUT SO FAR, NOTHING.

DEFINITELY SHORT-RANGE.

SOMEONE HAD TO
BRING THIS HERE

AND DROP IT OFF
OUTSIDE THE STATION.

OTHERWISE, THERE'D BE
A SHIP FLOATING OUTSIDE

WITH NO ONE IN IT.

EXACTLY, MEANING
SOMEONE ON THE STATION

IS PROVIDING SUPPORT.

YEAH.

ONE OTHER THING--

MAINTENANCE
FOUND ANOTHER BODY.

WHERE?

STUFFED INTO AN ACCESS PANEL
IN THE TRANSPORT TUBE.

ENVIRONMENT TECH
NAMED HAZELTINE.

BEN SAYS HE'D BEEN DEAD
AT LEAST 16 HOURS.

BUT ACCORDING
TO SOME COWORKERS,

THEY SAY THEY SAW HIM
JUST RECENTLY.

[BEEP BEEP]

SINCLAIR.

Takashima: COMMANDER,

I'M IN DEL VARNER'S
QUARTERS.

YOU AND GARIBALDI
BETTER GET DOWN HERE.

THERE'S SOMETHING
YOU SHOULD SEE.

ON OUR WAY.

WE WERE FINALLY ABLE TO CRACK
VARNER'S ACCESS CODE.

HE WAS A TECH-RUNNER,
ALL RIGHT,

TRANSPORTING FORBIDDEN
TECHNOLOGY ACROSS SYSTEMS.

HIS LAST JOB TOOK HIM
TO THE ANTARES SECTOR

FOR A CHANGELING NET.

THE ULTIMATE IN CAMOUFLAGE.

IT SETS UP
A HOLOGRAPHIC FIELD

THAT CAN BE ADJUSTED
TO PROJECT A FALSE IMAGE.

THAT'S WHAT KOSH SAW
IN THE DOCKING BAY--

NOT THE COMMANDER, BUT SOMEONE
MADE TO LOOK LIKE HIM.

PRETTY NEAT TRICK.

AN EXPENSIVE AND
VERY DANGEROUS TRICK.

CHANGELING NETS
ARE OUTLAWED

IN EVERY
CIVILIZED SECTOR.

PROLONGED EXPOSURE
TO AN ENERGY FIELD

THAT INTENSE AND
UNSTABLE CAN BE FATAL.

AND OUR LITTLE PAL'S
BEEN USING IT CONSTANTLY.

A SYSTEM LIKE THIS PUTS
OUT A LOT OF ENERGY.

CAN YOU RECALIBRATE
THE EXTERNAL SENSORS

FOR ENERGY SOURCES
INSIDE THE STATION?

WE CAN TRY.

DO SO. WE'LL BE
ALONG SHORTLY.

I WANT TO PICK UP A FEW
THINGS AT SECURITY.

SECURITY'S STANDING BY.

WHAT'S
THE SITUATION?

WE'RE CLOSING
THE FINAL RELAYS NOW

AND SWITCHING OVER
TO A NEW PROGRAM.

GOT IT.

FILTER OUT ALL KNOWN
ENERGY SOURCES--

LIFE SUPPORT,
UTILITIES, DEFENSE GRID,

ANY ENERGY
WE'RE PUTTING OUT.

ON IT.

COMPENSATE FOR
AMBIENT HEAT ENERGY

FROM THE SOLAR
COLLECTORS.

COMING UP.
HERE IT IS.

GOT IT!

WHERE IS IT?

RED 12.

COME ON...
COME ON...

LEVEL 7-A.

SEAL OFF THE AREA.

I'M TAKING CARE
OF THIS PERSONALLY.

IF WE NEED HELP,
WE'LL LINK IN.

WAIT. BETTER TAKE
A RECORDER.

YOU MAY NEED A WITNESS.

THANKS. LET'S GO.

GOOD LUCK.

VORTEX ACTIVE.
CONFIRM INCOMING SHIP.

WE'RE REGISTERING
AN ENERGY SURGE

AT THE JUMP POINT.

THE FREQUENCY MATCHES

THE VORLON SHIP THAT
CAME THROUGH EARLIER.

MUST BE
THE TRANSPORT SHIP.

DAMN!

THAT'S NOT
A TRANSPORT.

I THINK THE COMMANDER'S
RIDE IS HERE.

STATUS
ON TRACKING.

10 METERS TO YOUR RIGHT.
IT'S MOVING AGAIN.

MIKE...

THERE IT IS.

DAMN! AAH!

OH! GOD!

MIKE.

MIKE!

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH.

FLAK JACKET
CAUGHT MOST OF IT.

GO ON.
I'LL CATCH UP. GO!

DANGER.
UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS.

DANGER.
UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS.

GARIBALDI!

DANGER.
UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS.

FINISH THE REST.

OK. WAIT HERE.

KEEP AN EYE ON HIM.

I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

THE VORLON CAPTAIN
IS DEMANDING

WE TURN OVER
COMMANDER SINCLAIR

FOR TRANSPORT
TO HOMEWORLD.

STALL. PATCH IN THE SIGNAL
FROM THE COMMANDER'S RECORDER.

IF WE BROADCAST THAT SIGNAL
TO THE VORLON SHIP--

I'M ON IT.

THEY WANT THE COMMANDER
IN 5 MINUTES,

OR THEY'LL OPEN FIRE.

TELL THEM TO GET STUFFED.
ACTIVATE DEFENSIVE GRID.

SCREENS TO MAXIMUM.

AND GET THAT RECORDER
ON-LINE NOW!

AAH!

AAH!

MINBARI?

VORLON WEAPONS SYSTEMS
POWERING UP.

THEY'RE LOCKING ONTO US
AND PREPARING TO FIRE.

WHERE'S THAT SIGNAL?

ON-LINE NOW.

BROADCAST--
ALL FREQUENCIES.

LET THEM SEE
WHAT'S GOING ON.

[SCREAMING]

WHY?

WHY DID YOU DO IT?

THERE IS A HOLE...

IN YOUR MIND.

OH, MY GOD.
HE'S WIRED.

BRACE FOR EXPLOSION!

DROP PRESSURE DOORS!

SEAL OFF THIS SECTION!

NOT WITH YOU INSIDE.

DAMN IT! DO IT!

I GAVE YOU AN ORDER!

STATION'S SHIFTING.

HULL INTEGRITY BREACHED.
WE'RE LOSING STABILITY.

STATUS?

15-DEGREE ROTATION.

STATION'S TEARING ITSELF
APART FROM THE INSIDE.

AUTO-CONFIGURATION SYSTEMS
NOT RESPONDING.

STARBOARD STABILIZERS.
10-SECOND BURST.

12-DEGREE ROTATION.

10-DEGREE...4...

MINUS 2.

AFT STABILIZERS.
SMALL STARBOARD BURST.

THE INFRASTRUCTURE
WON'T HANDLE THE STRAIN.

MINUS 6! MINUS 8!

MARK!

MINUS 8...MINUS 5...

SMALL STARBOARD BURST,
TWO AND TWO.

EASY, GENTLE.

MINUS 2.

MINUS 1.

PLUS 2.

ZERO! WE'RE BACK
IN POSITION.

DAMAGE CONTROL
TO BLUE 7.

DAMAGE CONTROL,
PROCEED TO BLUE 7.

COMMANDER...

THIS LITTLE BREACH
OF SECURITY

ISN'T GOING TO AFFECT
MY CHRISTMAS BONUS, IS IT?

YOU ALL RIGHT?
DO YOU NEED ANYTHING?

COFFEE...

2 SUGARS...

CREAM...

AND ASPIRIN...

LOTS AND LOTS
OF ASPIRIN.

I WISH
YOU COULD STAY.

WE JUST GET THINGS
CALMED DOWN,

AND YOU HAVE TO GO.

MY TIMING ALWAYS
WAS PRETTY AWFUL.

WELL...

SHIP'S WAITING.

YOU CAN COME
WITH ME, JEFF.

WE COULD POOL OUR SAVINGS
AND BUY A BIGGER SHIP.

WE COULD BLOW
THIS PLACE.

I'LL THINK ABOUT IT.

WELL, DON'T TAKE
TOO LONG.

I'LL WAIT...

BUT NOT FOREVER.

BYE.

HOW'S MICHAEL?

RESTING IN HIS QUARTERS.

I CHECKED HIM OUT
PRETTY THOROUGHLY.

WHAT ABOUT THE STATION?

HOLDING TOGETHER.

I'VE GOT A REPAIRS TEAM
WORKING ON THE BREACH.

IT'LL TAKE A FEW DAYS,
BUT WE CAN FIX IT.

GOOD.

YOU CAN TELL THE VORLONS

THAT AMBASSADOR KOSH
IS OUT OF CRITICAL.

THE COUNTERAGENT WORKED
EVEN BETTER THAN I HAD HOPED.

COMMANDER,
MAY I SPEAK WITH YOU?

I STUDIED A RECORD
OF YOUR CONFRONTATION.

I REGRET THAT A MINBARI
WAS RESPONSIBLE

FOR ALL THIS SADNESS.

YOU CAN'T BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE ACTIONS

OF EVERY ONE OF
YOUR RACE, DELENN.

NO. BUT THERE IS
SOMETHING I CAN DO.

I RECOGNIZED
THE MARKINGS ON HIS FACE,

AND I WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE
WHO AND WHAT HE WAS.

I JUST RECEIVED THIS FILE

FROM MY GOVERNMENT--

A FULL RECORD
OF HIS TRAVELS.

I THINK YOU WILL FIND IT
MOST INTERESTING.

SO, DOCTOR, JUST
WHAT DID YOU SEE

WHEN YOU LOOKED
INSIDE THAT SUIT?

THERE ARE MOMENTS
IN YOUR LIFE

WHEN EVERYTHING
CRYSTALLIZES,

AND THE WHOLE WORLD
RESHAPES ITSELF

RIGHT DOWN TO ITS
COMPONENT MOLECULES...

AND EVERYTHING CHANGES.

I HAVE LOOKED UPON THE FACE
OF A VORLON, LAUREL...

AND NOTHING IS
THE SAME ANYMORE.

YOU WANTED TO SEE ME,
COMMANDER?

JUST THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE
TO JOIN ME IN A TOAST

BEFORE THE RECEPTION.

AMBASSADOR G'KAR...

TO A FULLY OPERATIONAL
BABYLON 5.

TO THE FUTURE.

I'M PLEASED THE VORLONS HAVE
DROPPED ALL CHARGES AGAINST YOU.

NOW THAT THE REAL CULPRIT
HAS BEEN FOUND,

HAVE YOU LEARNED
ANYTHING MORE ABOUT HIM?

YES. THAT
WOULD-BE ASSASSIN

HAD AN INTERESTING
BACKGROUND.

SEEMS HE BELONGED

TO A BRANCH OF THE
MINBARI WARRIOR CASTE

WHO SPLIT FROM THEIR
GOVERNMENT AFTER THE WAR.

A WARRIOR CASTE.

THAT EXPLAINS WHY HE'D
WANT TO DISRUPT BABYLON 5

AND OUR MUTUAL GOAL
OF PEACE.

I'M SURPRISED YOU DIDN'T
ASK ABOUT DEL VARNER.

I ASSUMED HE WAS SIMPLY
ANOTHER INNOCENT VICTIM.

NOT QUITE.

WE CHECKED
HIS SHIP'S LOGS,

AND APPARENTLY,

HE SPENT A LOT OF TIME
WORKING FOR YOUR GOVERNMENT,

A LUCRATIVE BUSINESS

RUNNING FORBIDDEN TECHNOLOGY
INTO NARN SPACE.

HIS LAST ENTRY SPOKE
OF A BIG PAYOFF

FOR BRINGING A CHANGELING
NET ACROSS THE BORDER.

HE WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET HIS
BUYER IN THE TIGRIS SECTOR.

DIDN'T YOUR
SUPPLY SHIP ALSO PASS

THROUGH THE TIGRIS SECTOR
ON ITS WAY HERE?

IF YOU HAVE A POINT
TO MAKE, COMMANDER,

PLEASE MAKE IT.

I BELIEVE THE ASSASSIN

WAS BROUGHT HERE
ON YOUR SUPPLY SHIP.

THAT'S WHY THEY NEEDED
THE CHANGELING NET

BEFORE THEY ARRIVED.

A MINBARI WARRIOR
WALKING OFF A NARN SHIP

WOULD DRAW
A LOT OF ATTENTION.

WITH THE NET, HE'D APPEAR
TO BE ONE OF YOUR CREW

AND INFILTRATE
THE STATION.

WHEN VARNER MISSED
CONNECTING WITH YOUR SHIP,

SO HE CAME HERE.

YOU NEEDED ANOTHER WAY
TO GET THE ASSASSIN ON-BOARD.

THEY USED THE TRANSPORT
WE FOUND ON THE STATION'S HULL

TO GET HIM INSIDE.

HE THEN KILLED DEL VARNER
AND GRABBED THE CHANGELING NET.

SHEER SPECULATION,
COMMANDER.

WITH THE DEATH OF
VARNER AND THE ASSASSIN,

YOU HAVE NO PROOF.

THAT'S RIGHT.

WELL, I SHOULD BE
ON MY WAY.

ONE MORE THING.

AS I MENTIONED,

THE ASSASSIN BELONGED
TO THE MINBARI WARRIOR CLASS.

DURING THE WAR,

I WAS IN MY WORLD'S
WARRIOR CLASS.

WE SAVED EACH OTHER'S LIVES
A DOZEN TIMES OVER,

MADE THE SORT OF FRIENDSHIPS
THAT LAST A LIFETIME.

COMMENDABLE, BUT WHAT
DOES THAT HAVE TO DO--

WITH NANOTECHNOLOGY?
GLAD YOU ASKED.

YOU'VE HEARD OF IT,
HAVEN'T YOU?

MACHINES TOO SMALL
FOR THE HUMAN EYE TO SEE.

YOU CAN EVEN MAKE THEM INVISIBLE
TO ELECTRONIC DETECTION...

LIKE THE ONE YOU JUST
SWALLOWED IN THAT DRINK.

I IMAGINE IT'S FIRMLY LATCHED
ONTO YOUR INTESTINE BY NOW.

WHAT?

OH, IT'S NOTHING HARMFUL,
AMBASSADOR.

IT'S A LOCATION
TRANSMITTER.

[BEEP BEEP]

SEE?

IT SHOULD DISSOLVE
IN ABOUT 5 YEARS,

BUT UNTIL THEN,
AMBASSADOR...

MY FRIENDS IN MY WARRIOR CASTE
HAVE THIS FREQUENCY.

AND IF ANYTHING SHOULD
HAPPEN TO BABYLON 5,

THEY HAVE INSTRUCTIONS

TO TRACK DOWN
THAT TRANSMITTER AND...

WELL, WHY SPOIL
THE SURPRISE?

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!

THIS IS INSURANCE.

WHAT YOU DO HERE
IS YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

YOU CAN SCHEME AND PLAN AND
PLAY ALL THE GAMES YOU WANT,

BUT GET THIS STRAIGHT--

IF YOU EVER ENDANGER
THIS STATION AGAIN,

MY PEOPLE WILL FIND YOU,

AND THE RESULTS WILL BE
MOST UNPLEASANT.

LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE,
AMBASSADOR.

FROM NOW ON,

WHENEVER YOU RAISE A TOAST
TO THE GOOD HEALTH OF BABYLON 5,

I'LL KNOW YOU MEAN
EVERY WORD OF IT.

OH!

OH.

[GROWLS]

THERE WE WERE--

A FLEET SO LARGE IT NEARLY
ECLIPSED THE SUN.

SUDDENLY, WE FELL ON THEM

LIKE A WAVE
FALLING UPON A SHORE.

LATER.

BEEP BEEP.

BEEP BEEP?

IT MUST BE EARTH HUMOR.

WHO CAN FIGURE
A SPECIES LIKE THAT?

"BEEP BEEP."

OH!

I'D SAY HE TOOK THAT
PRETTY WELL.

THINK THEY'LL EVER FIND THAT
TRANSMITTER YOU SLIPPED G'KAR?

NO...

BECAUSE
THERE ISN'T ONE.

THERE ISN'T? WAIT.

I LIED.

I FIGURED IF THERE
WERE A TRANSMITTER,

THEY'D FIND IT
AND REMOVE IT.

BUT IF I JUST
TOLD THEM THERE WAS,

THEY'D KEEP LOOKING,
INDEFINITELY.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA THE TESTS
THEY'LL PUT HIM THROUGH

TO FIND A TRANSMITTER
THAT'S NOT THERE?

YES.

COME ON.

THERE ARE SOME DAYS
I JUST LOVE THIS JOB.

CAN I HAVE
YOUR ATTENTION?

WILL YOU ALL PLEASE JOIN ME
IN WELCOMING TO BABYLON 5

OUR FINAL
REPRESENTATIVE...

AMBASSADOR KOSH

OF THE VORLON EMPIRE?

[APPLAUSE]

YOU LEFT THE RECEPTION.

I NEEDED A LITTLE
QUIET TO THINK.

DELENN,
JUST BEFORE HE DIED,

THE MINBARI ASSASSIN
LOOKED AT ME AND SAID,

"THERE IS A HOLE
IN YOUR MIND."

AN OLD
MINBARI INSULT.

NOTHING YOU NEED
WORRY ABOUT.

MAYBE.

IT'S JUST...

THERE'S A 24-HOUR
PERIOD IN MY LIFE

THAT I CAN'T
ACCOUNT FOR.

IT HAPPENED DURING THE WAR
WITH YOUR PEOPLE.

YOU WOULDN'T BE HOLDING
ANYTHING OUT ON ME,

WOULD YOU,
OLD FRIEND?

COMMANDER...

I WOULD NEVER
TELL YOU ANYTHING

THAT WAS NOT IN
YOUR BEST INTEREST.

WELL...

WE'LL TALK ABOUT THIS AGAIN
ONE OF THESE DAYS.

COME ON.

WE SHOULD GET BACK
TO THE RECEPTION.

BY THE WAY...

THERE'S SOMETHING
I'VE BEEN WONDERING.

WHY BABYLON 5?

IF THE PRIOR 4 STATIONS
WERE LOST OR DESTROYED,

WHY BUILD ANOTHER?

PLAIN OLD HUMAN
STUBBORNNESS, I GUESS.

WHEN SOMETHING WE
VALUE IS DESTROYED,

WE REBUILD IT.

IF IT'S DESTROYED
AGAIN,

WE REBUILD IT
AGAIN...

AND AGAIN AND AGAIN
AND AGAIN...

UNTIL IT STAYS.

THAT, AS OUR POET TENNYSON
ONCE SAID, IS THE GOAL--

"TO STRIVE, TO SEEK,
TO FIND...

AND NOT TO YIELD."

A POET?

SOMEONE
WHO WRITES POEMS.

A POEM--A STORY
IN METER OR RHYME.

AH...

"THERE ONCE WAS A MAN
FROM NANTUCKET..."

[CHUCKLES]

YOU'VE BEEN TALKING
TO GARIBALDI AGAIN?

YES. HOW DID YOU KNOW?

OH, JUST
A WILD GUESS.

OPEN ALL
COMMUNICATIONS CHANNELS.

THIS IS LIEUTENANT COMMANDER
LAUREL TAKASHIMA.

OUR DOCKING BAYS
STAND READY TO RECEIVE YOU.

BABYLON 5
IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS.
