[Beep beep]

Good morning.

The time is 0430,
Earth standard,

Wednesday,
August 3, 2258.

Personal log shows no
outstanding appointments.

Shall I download
station logs

for past 6 hours?

Ahh...sure.

Grab it. Store it.
Shove it.

Clarification?

[Sighs]

Never mind.

Why does my mouth

always taste like old
carpet in the morning?

Unknown.

Checking medical logs.

Morning, Lieutenant
Commander.

Commander.

Sleep well?

Sleeping is
not the problem.

Waking up--
that is a problem.

I've always had
a hard time getting up

when it's dark outside.

But in space,
it's always dark.

I know.

I know.

Picking up
a distress signal.

Put it on-screen.

Requesting assistance.

I repeat.

Starfury pilot
to all Earth vessels.

Requesting assistance.

Babylon 5 to fighter.
What is your situation?

We were escorting transport,
hit by raiders.

Surprise attack.
They're in pursuit.

Power at 50%.

Launch delta wing.

Tell them to home in
on his signal.

They're coming in!

Taking evasive action.

God, they're
all over the place.

He's gone.

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...

Earth transport Spinoza

will be departing
in one hour from...

Identicard, please.

This hasn't been
updated in a while.

I've been out
of circulation.

I spent
the last few years

doing some exploration
out on the rim.

Find anything
interesting?

Yes.

By the time the search
and rescue team got there,

there wasn't much left.

Security
analysis.

Even after we cut off
their supply

of heavy weapons,

the raiders have continued
to escalate their attacks.

The last two have been
in close proximity to Babylon 5.

We can't let this go on.

If we can't guarantee

safe passage
to the station--

I know, just 2 problems.

One, by the time
we hear about

an attack in progress,

it's too late
to do anything about it.

Two, we can't figure out

how they're getting out
so fast.

Ships that small
have to use jumpgates

same as anybody else.

Getting from the point
of the last attack

to the nearest gate

takes 4 hours
of maximum burn,

but they were gone
in less than 2.

Put delta wing
on standby alert.

They should be ready to
leave the second we hear

of any new attacks.
Lieutenant Commander,

you'll take first
tactical watch.

Will do.

I also recommend
we put together a profile

of all incoming ships
for the next few weeks.

See who's carrying
any valuable cargo

if we can figure out
who they're likely

to hit next.

Agreed. See to it.

It'll be tough.

Not everyone files
a complete manifest.

A lot of them
just flat-out lie.

All we can do
is try to help them.

If they won't cooperate,
then they'll just have to

accept the consequences.

That's all.

Mr. Garibaldi,
a moment of your time?

Not long ago,
something happened.

I've been keeping it
to myself,

but the truth is...

I need some help.

Mostly, I need a friend.

You got both.

What's the deal?

I told you about
the battle of the line,

the 24 hours of my life

that I couldn't remember.

Lately, I've started

to piece together
a few things--

not all of it--

just enough to know

that something happened
to me back there.

I've gone
as far as I can

with my own
investigation,

but this is more
your area of expertise.

I need your help

to try and find out
what happened...

And why.

This is strictly unofficial.

You don't have to
take on the job

if you don't want to.

Jeff, this is me,
remember?

So let's hear it.

Start at the beginning

and don't leave
anything out.

[Chuckles]

Ambassador?

Mr. Reno?
I was starting to worry

if you were going to come.

I always keep my end
of the bargain.

Just had to make sure
your people did the same.

And?

I finally received
confirmation

that payment in full
has been deposited

into my account
back on Earth.

Here's the merchandise.

Great maker.

Nice piece of jewelry,
isn't it?

This is not a piece
of jewelry.

This is not
the merchandise.

This...

Is the eye...

The oldest symbol
of Centauri nobility,

the property of
the very first Emperor.

It comes from
the earliest days

of the Republic,

lost over 100 years ago
at the battle of nu'shok.

I know the story,
Ambassador,

and I'm glad it means
something to you,

but to me it's
just another commission.

My job is
to find things...

Objects, people,
you name it.

Now I've got my payment.

I'll be on my way.

Payment, indeed.

My government paid enough
to buy a small planet,

but I would
very much like to know

how you got
your hands on this.

No, you wouldn't.

Ambassador.

Ambassador.

I have
already pushed it.

I pushed it
again.

Ah.

I hear there is a famine

on your world's
Southern frontier.

My condolences.

You should have
thought of that

before you
strip-mined

our resources.

Ah. So it is all
our fault, hmm?

Precisely.

Though I have noticed
that your own people

have continued to exploit
your world's resources

to build the mighty
Narn war machine.

We have to
protect ourselves.

By doing to yourselves

what you say
we did to you?

Ah, that's evolution
for you.

Now,
see here!

Take the famine
as a blessing, Ambassador.

A weeding out of
the excess population.

One more comment
like that, Mollari,

and you will
become part

of the excess
population.

Fah! Threats!

Yes, threats!

Now, you
can go to hell!

And you can
kiss my pouch!

You...

Both: Now look what
you made me do!

And I can only assume

that once they were
finished with me,

the Minbari
wiped my memory

of being taken
aboard their cruiser,

put me back in my ship,
and let me go.

And you're sure that
was Delenn you saw?

Positive.

11 years
since the war, Jeff.

That's a long time.
Trail's pretty cold.

I know and
I don't expect you

to come up
with anything today.

I've waited 11 years.

I can wait
a while longer,

but if you
get any ideas...

Understood.
I'll keep my eyes open.

And Jeff, thanks for
trusting me enough

to bring me in on this.

Don't thank me
until we figure out

where this thing goes.

We may both end up

regretting
this conversation.

I'm not sure I understand
the question, Mr...

Morden.

Morden, yes.

Who did you say

authorized
this little chat?

Counselor t'bar.

First circle.

And does he know
what this is about?

No.

But in order to, uh...

See someone
of your prominence,

I had to
get a recommendation.

He provided it.

You still haven't answered
my question, Ambassador.

What do you want?

Well, what do you mean,
what do I want?

What do you want?

What do I want
for supper?

What do I want
to do this evening?

What do you want?

This is pointless.

What I want
is for you to go away

and leave me in peace.

As you say.

Uh, wait.

What do I want?

The Centauri
stripped my world.

I want justice.

But what do you want?

To suck the marrow
from their bones

and grind their skulls
to powder,

what do you want?

To tear down
their cities,

blacken their sky,

sow their ground
with salt!

To completely,
utterly erase them.

And then what?

I don't know.

As long as my
homeworld's safety

is guaranteed,

I don't know
that it matters.

I see.

Well, thank you very much
for your time, Ambassador.

Good day.

Nonsense.

Ambassador Mollari.

Yes, Lord Kiro.

I am honored.

This is Ladira, my aunt,

also the seer and prophetess
of our house.

Ambassador.

My lady.

You are
all right?

Yes. The trip
was quite long.

It can be quite a strain

if you're not
used to such voyages.

A little rest will help.

I've made
all the arrangements.

You have the eye?

Yes.

It's quite--

[gasp]

This place...

Great maker, this place...

No.

Lady?

I see death...

Destruction....

Fire.

Babylon will fall.

This place
will be destroyed...

Fire...death...pain...

Fire...

Death...

Pain...

No.

No!

You're sure
you're all right?

I'm fine, Kiro.

It was a vision...

Very powerful.

You said this place
would be destroyed?

Yes.

Yes, I did.

You'll excuse me.

I must go to
my quarters and rest.

You'll forgive my aunt.

She sometimes takes
the role

of prophetess
too seriously.

Then you don't
believe her vision?

She's been wrong before.

On my first birthday,
she said that someday

I would be killed
by Shadows.

Shadows?

It doesn't exactly
make sense, does it?

No.

Where is the eye?

Safe.

I would like to see it.

Well, actually,
I was told that--

my family has been

waiting
for over 100 years

for the eye
to be returned.

It is the symbol
of our house,

a house of nobility
and honor,

and now I must
play the messenger.

After searching
for so long,

I would like to spend
some time with it

before turning it over
to the Emperor.

Of course.

6 to 1. Have located target.

Commencing surveillance.

What is the purpose
of your question,

Mr., uh, Morden, is it?

The question is
its own purpose,

Ambassador Delenn.

What do you want?

I'm informed that
you have just seen

Ambassador G'Kar.

Are you asking each
of us this question?

Perhaps.

Does that invalidate
the question?

No, but it
makes me wonder.

Something wrong,
Ambassador?

No.

Just a moment
of fatigue.

Ambassador?

Leave me.

Get out...

Now!

They're here.

Ah...

Yes.

And no one else
knows that it's here?

No one except the man
who brought it here.

I think we can rely
on his discretion.

Good.

Good.

We'll, uh...

We'll bring it back
just as quietly.

It will be better
for the government

to declare that they
"found" it back home,

rather than to admit
they had to buy it

from some outsider.

Ambassador...

You must know
that things are, uh...

Changing...back home.

I hear a few things.

Every day our people
grow unhappier

with our
so-called leaders.

The Emperor has not appeared
in public for nearly a year,

leaving his Prime Minister
to act for him,

but without his leadership,

the senate continues
to lose credibility.

Ah. So that is why
they were so desperate

to find the eye, yes?

Yes.

There is no greater
symbol of authority.

Mollari...

The eye belongs
to my family...

My house.

Why should I give it
to the Emperor?

We must all
make our sacrifices.

If I were to return
with the eye

and claim the throne
for myself?

Lord Kiro, please.

I understand
your feelings.

You could do
what you describe,

but without support,
you would be dead

within a day of trying.

These are no longer

the good old days,
Lord Kiro.

Yes.

More's the pity.
[Sighs]

I'll leave this
in your care tonight.

If it were
in my possession,

I might do
something foolish.

Good night.

Good night.

Where did it all go wrong,
Mollari?

Where did we lose it all?

Ah.

I--i don't know.

I don't know.

They're breaking through.
Everyone to the shuttles.

Evacuate. Evacuate.

We've lost
the journey team.

They're heading
for the docking bays.

Repeat, they're heading
for the docking bays!

Hit em!

Hit 'em with
everything you've got.

We've got to get out.
Launch the escape pods.

Destruct! Destruct!

Destruct! Destruct!

Everyone to the shuttle!

[Explosion]

Captain, we're picking up
radar transmissions.

Impossible.
The screens are clear.

There's
nothing out there.

Hey, where're
they coming from?

I don't know.

Time to target?

20 minutes.

Battle stations.

Thrusters
to maximum.

We'll try
to beat them

to the jumpgate.

Earth transport
vessel achilles

to all ships
in grid Epsilon.

This is Earth transport
vessel achilles

to all ships
in grid Epsilon.

This is a mayday.

Repeat.
This is a mayday.

We are under attack.

We are surrounded
by raiders.

This is a mayday.

We are moving
at flight speed

to the jumpgate.
Come on, guys,

we could use
your help out here.

This is a mayday.
Repeat. Mayday!

Stand by, achilles.
Help's on the way.

Roger that.

Lieutenant Commander,
you're clear to launch.

Confirmed.

You heard the man,
delta wing. Hit it.

6 to 1.
They've taken the bait.

Estimate 2 hours

until they can
reload the cobra bays.

Keep them busy
once they arrive.

We'll take care of Babylon 5
from this end.

You are clear to dock
in bay 13.

Welcome back,
Ambassador Kosh.

Time to target's last known
position--20 minutes.

Any further transmissions
from the achilles?

Confirmed, still reading her,
delta leader.

All right. Let's hope we're
in time to do some good.

Delta 7 and 8, stay behind
and watch the gate.

If the raiders manage to
double back and get past us,

link in. I want to know
how the hell

they're getting
in and out so fast.

Will do.

Maximum burn.

Weapons system
on standby.

Heat them up.
We're gonna need 'em.

Confirmed,
delta leader.

We're ready to proceed.
Bring the eye, please,

and we'll meet you
along the way.

Good. I've notified
Centauri Prime

of your expected arrival.
There'll be a ship

waiting to escort you home.

You'll have protection
every step of the way

once you're through the gate.

Well, I should hope so.

See you in a few moments,
Ambassador.

Ah, Ambassador,

I was just on my way
to see you. My name is--

I'm sorry, but
I don't have time

to chat right now.

I suggest you make
an appointment.

I did.

Then make another one.

Never a transport tube
when you need one.

Ambassador,

I was authorized
to speak to you--

yes, yes. Look,
what do you want?

That's what I was
gonna ask you.

What do you want?

You are a lunatic.

Go away.
Pester someone else.

Destination?

Bay 12.

You are a very
persistent young man.

I have to be.

I'm not allowed
to leave here

until you've answered
my question.

What do you want?

This is a silly
conversation.

Yes, it is.

What do you want?

To be left alone.

Is that it?

Is that really all,
Ambassador?

[Sighs]

All right.

Fine.

You really want
to know what I want?

You really want
to know the truth?

I want my people

to reclaim their
rightful place

in the galaxy.

I want to see
the Centauri

stretch forth
their hand again

and command the stars.

I want a rebirth
of glory,

a renaissance of power.

I want to stop running
through my life

like a man late
for an appointment,

afraid to look back

or to look forward.

I want us to be
what we used to be.

I want...

I want it all back
the way that it was.

Does that answer
your question?

Yes...

Yes, it does.

Commander, we've just
received confirmation

from delta wing.
They're closing in

on the achilles'
last known position.

Good.

Something wrong,
Commander?

Up until now,

the raiders have
been hitting closer

to Babylon 5,
but this new attack

is almost a full sector
further away.

Call up a cargo
manifest on the achilles.

Let's see
what she's carrying.

On it.

That's far enough.

I want the eye.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

No more lies,
Ambassador.

And to make sure

there are no
further problems,

you three have
just become hostages.

Get this
aboard the ship...

And hide these bodies.

We don't want them found
until we're clear.

Now, move.

Commander, I have
the cargo information

you asked for.

Are you sure this manifest
covers everything?

Yes, sir.

Hydroponic supplies,

tools, atmospheric
testing materials.

There's nothing here
that would bring a high price

on the black market.

Nothing worth the effort
of stealing it.

Then why the attack?

Babylon control
to delta wing.

Do you copy,
delta leader?

Confirmed,
Babylon control.

What's your status?

We just got word
the raiders have

broken off the attack.

We're flying in pursuit.

Negative, delta leader.
Do not pursue.

Repeat: Do not pursue.
Return to base.

But, Commander--

it's a diversion,
Lieutenant Commander.

They want your force as far
from the station as possible.

Return to base at once.

Confirmed,
Babylon control.

What ships are due
to arrive or depart

in the next 2 hours?

Traffic's light.

Just a couple
of survey ships

and a Centauri
personal liner.

Registration?

A Lord Kiro
and Lady Ladira

scheduled to depart
bay 12 in 10 minutes.

That might be it.
Tell Garibaldi

to stand by
with Alpha flight.

I'm heading for bay 12.

Ambassador,
the ship of yours

that's
about to depart--

Commander, this is
not a good time.

I have to warn you. We
received information that--

Commander, look out!

All right.
If anyone moves,

Lord Kiro gets
his brains splattered

all over the bulkhead.

Now I'm taking this ship
and we're leaving here,

and if anybody tries
to block the docking bay,

I'll use
the ship's thrusters

and burn my way through.
Understood?

Understood.

We won't try
to stop you.

I'd always heard you were
a smart man, Sinclair.

Now, move.

Kiro...

Kiro, no!

Commander,
what are you doing?

You can't just
let him go.

Garibaldi,
a Centauri liner

will be coming out
of the docking bay

in about 5 minutes.
Target engines only.

I want her disabled,
not destroyed.

Confirmed.
launching Alpha wing.

We'll program the jumpgate

to reject
the ship's I.D. Code.

We'll let him get outside

to keep him from
damaging the station,

but once they're outside,
believe me,

they're not going anywhere.

Ladira, we should
get away from here.

Shadows. The Shadows
are coming for him.

Status?

Centauri liner's out

and trying to activate
jumpgate sequence.

All right,
Mr. Garibaldi.

Move in. Hit them
and reel them in.

Will do. Ok,
people, let's move.

The ship's too small to
make its own jump point,

and with our jumpgate
closed, the nearest one

is 6 light months away,
and Garibaldi at his back,

we've got him boxed in
on all sides.

We can wait him out
if we have to, but--

Commander, jump point
forming in sector 3.

What?

So that's how the raiders
get in and out so fast.

A vessel that size
would have to be capable

of solo jumps.

They're moving
in attack formation.

Weapons systems
locking on.

Close glass doors.
Prepare for attack.

Level one alert.

Activate defense grids.

Defense grids
on-line.

Alpha leader, whatever's on
that ship, they want it bad.

Make sure it doesn't
get away.

What about the station?

We can take care of
ourselves. Now go.

Roger.

All right, Alpha wing,
take them down hard.

Ladira...

Ladira, we have
to find shelter.

Fire, death,
and destruction.

You can't stay here.

Come with me now,
please.

It doesn't matter.

The Shadows have come
for Lord Kiro.

The Shadows have come...

For us all.

Leave this place.

They are not for you.

Go.

Leave...

Now.

Commander,
Centauri transport

heading for the mother ship.

Unable to pursue.

Alpha leader to Alpha wing,

these things are made for
atmosphere as well as space.

Go for the airfoils.

That's where
they're vulnerable.

Recalibrate
the defense grid

along the cargo bay

for long range
firing pattern.

Range--between 2 and 5
kilometers spread.

I'll have to take it
off-line for a minute.

Do it.

Babylon control
to Alpha leader.

Drive them toward
the back of the station.

Confirmed.

Let me know
when they're in position.

One minute.

Defense grid
reactivated.

Target range--
3.9 kilometers.

Now we close the box.

Babylon control
to delta wing.

Proceed.

Confirmed,
Babylon control.

Surprise.

Tactical display.

They're retreating.

Good.

Right down the middle
of the gauntlet.

Delta wing, fire!

Alpha wing, fire!

Fire defense grid!
All sectors!

That's got them.

Delta wing,

proceed to command
and control vessel

while Alpha wing
works cleanup.

Confirmed.

Damn. Delta leader
to Babylon control.

They're opening
a jump point!

Repeat: They're
opening a jump point!

Going to maximum thrust.

Negative, delta leader.
Abandon pursuit.

You might get caught
in the backwash.

We've got their fighters.
Don't risk it.

Commander--

that's an order,
delta leader.

Nuts...

Delta leader to delta wing.
Show's over.

Let's collect the stragglers
and return to base.

We figure 11 raider ships
destroyed,

4 damaged and captured.

We're interrogating
the prisoners now.

Station took
some minor damage.

We've got maintenance
'bots working on it.

A few injuries here
and there. Nothing major.

But it seems Ambassador
Kosh's encounter suit

was damaged, but he's
not telling how.

Just asked for some
equipment to have it fixed.

What about our ships?

3 Starfuries were disabled

and had to be towed
back for repair.

We lost 2 ships, Jeff.

Alpha 6 managed
to eject in time.

He's down in medlab.

Doc thinks he'll be ok.

Delta 9 didn't make it.

Do you want me to
notify the family?

No, I'll do it.

His father's
back on Earth.

His sister's
in the Mars colony.

The information's
all there.

If it helps, it looks like
we hurt the raiders bad,

maybe bad enough so that
we won't be seeing them again.

They've still got
their main vessel.

I know,
but without fighters,

it's just one big target.
It'll take a long time

before they can
gather enough fighters

to be a problem, if ever.

Commander, you
wanted to see us?

Yes. The ship
the raiders captured

was registered in your
name, Lady Ladira.

They were
after something

in your possession.

I'd like to know
what it was,

what it was
doing here,

and why
it wasn't declared

on the cargo
manifest.

It's a very long story,
Commander.

Well, my time
is your time.

Very convincing
performance back there.

Now if you don't mind,
please tell your Captain--

sorry, he's busy.

Stick him in holding
until we need him.

What are you doing?
We had an agreement.

Had. Past tense. Look,
we're big, we're organized,

but in no way are we big
enough to help you knock over

the Centauri government
and put you in charge.

I don't care how much leverage
you think the eye gives you.

You think they're gonna
follow you just like that?

Not a chance.

But I helped you.

I gave you
the transport times--

and we're grateful.

This ship, big enough to
make its own jump point,

cost us nearly every
credit we've stolen

over the last 5 years.

With the ransom
we can get for this,

we can buy one,
maybe even two more.

That made it worth
taking the risk,

not your plan.

And what about me?

You're gonna send a message
to Centauri Prime.

They've met our demands
for the eye,

but they won't consider
paying your ransom

until they have proof
that you're still alive.

So, look on the
bright side, Lord Kiro.

You're not going home
as the new Emperor,

but you are
going home alive.

And once back, you're
gonna keep on paying us

because you wouldn't
want anybody

to find out
about your little--

[alarm]

What the hell?!

Are you sure you're well
enough to travel, my lady?

I have responsibilities
I must attend to.

And what of you,
Ambassador?

What of me? Ah!

It would seem my career
is finished, good lady.

The eye is gone.

Even if they want
to buy it back,

the price will be
astronomical.

I'm sorry.

I'll do anything
I can to help.

Thank you, but I'm afraid
I'm beyond anything,

short of a miracle.

Good night, Lady Ladira.

I will see you to
your ship in the morning.

I expect I'll be leaving
myself, a few days later.

[Doorbell beeps]

Whoever it is,
go away!

[Beep beep]

All right.

All right.

What's one more
annoyance?

Enter.

Good evening,
Ambassador.

You. Go away.
It's late.

I'm in no mood
for your games.

I'm leaving shortly.
I got what I came for.

But before I go,

a gift from friends
you don't know you have.

The eye!

H--

how?

Where did you go, eh?

Let me buy you a drink!

Let me buy you
an entire fleet of drinks!

How can I ever find you
to thank you?

We will find you,
Ambassador.

We will find you.

So, I've assigned
a couple security guards

to escort Ladira
back to her ship.

Needless to say, lando
and I had a little chat

about withholding
cargo information.

If we'd known about the eye,

we could've
anticipated the attack.

No kidding. I was
planning to stop by,

make sure they
got off all right.

You coming?
Ah, I can't.

We've got an
Earthforce transport

due in about an hour
to take the prisoners

back home for trial.

They plan to make
a big deal out of this

to try and
discourage others.

If it works, I'll take it.
Something else?

On that other matter you
asked me to look into...

I dug around
a little and...

Look, Jeff...
You probably know

you weren't first in line
to run this place.

I suspected as much.

I was surprised
when they called me.

How far down the list
was I?

Pretty far.
Despite the problems,

this is still a high-profile
job, a real plum.

Admirals, Generals,
the whole brass was lined up,

hoping to get it,
but every name was rejected

until they got to you.

Rejected by whom?

The Minbari government.

They were the first to
sign on to support Babylon 5,

on the condition
that they had approval

over who was assigned to
run this place.

They wanted you.

Why?

Unknown.

Commander, I'm glad
you were able to come.

I wanted to see you
before I left.

I don't know
if Ambassador Mollari

mentioned it to you
or not,

but when I arrived here,

I had a vision
about this place.

He told me, but we
came through the attack

in one piece.
The station's safe.

For now. But the vision,
Commander,

the vision is still
there.

It's not an easy thing,

but I can let you see...

If you will trust me.

This...

Is it a vision
of what will be

or what might be?

The future
is always changing.

We create the future

with our words,

our deeds,
and with our beliefs.

This is a possible
future, Commander,

and it is my hope

that you may yet
avoid it.
