CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.

[CHISELING STONE]

I'M SURE IT'S ONLY A LITTLE FURTHER

TO THE MAIN VAULT.

YOU'VE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR TWO DAYS.

THIS IS FOOLISH. THERE WERE OTHER VAULTS

IN THE MAIN CITY WE COULD'VE TRIED--

SMALLER ONES, EASIER TO GET INTO.

EXACTLY. THEY WERE EASIER TO GET INTO.

IT'S A GOOD BET SOMEBODY'S BEEN THERE ALREADY.

YOU'VE GOT TO BE INSANE TO DIG THIS FAR IN SOFT GROUND.

WHICH IS THE OTHER POINT I WAS ABOUT TO MAKE.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT FOR ME.

NOTHING GOOD COMES EASY, KLAUS.

NOTHING BAD COMES EASY, EITHER.

I FIND IT FAR MORE ANNOYING

WHEN THE UNIVERSE MAKES YOU WORK FOR YOUR DAMNATION.

I'D PREFER IT JUST GAVE IT TO ME. SAVE ME THE EFFORT.

Man: DR. BRYSON.

YEAH.

OVER HERE.

LET ME SEE.

YES. YES, THIS IS IT.

IT'S ANOTHER WALL. WE HAVE CUT THROUGH OTHERS.

THIS ONE'S DIFFERENT.

THERE, THE BRICKWORK WAS PLAIN, UNADORNED.

THIS SYMBOL IS NEW, THOUGH I'VE

SEEN IT BEFORE ON A HUNDRED WORLDS.

NO. THIS... THIS MUST BE IT.

LOOK, THE OTHERS ARE TIRED. THEY'VE BEEN AT THIS ALL DAY.

THEY NEED TO REST--

NOT YET. NOT YET.

NO REST. NOT YET.

THERE.

SEE?

THIS SYMBOL.

THIS IS A DEATH SYMBOL.

AND THE OTHER SIDE, A SYMBOL OF LIFE.

NOT LIFE OR DEATH OR LIFE AND DEATH

BUT LIFE IN DEATH.

LIFE ETERNAL.

BREAK THIS DOWN.

I'VE GOT TO SEE WHAT'S INSIDE.

DR. BRYSON--

NOW!

[CHISELING]

[WHOOSH]

[COUGHING]

Bryson: DO YOU SMELL THAT?

THAT AIR'S BEEN SEALED IN THERE FOR, WHAT, 50,000 YEARS?

100,000. PERHAPS A MILLION YEARS.

IT SMELLS LIKE DEATH.

MAYBE TO YOU.

TO ME...

[SNIFFS]

IT IS AS SWEET AS PERFUME.

Bryson: YES.

YES!

[CHISELING]

[ALARM SOUNDS]

Klaus: WHAT ARE THEY?

NOT WHAT, KLAUS--WHO.

THOUGHTS. MEMORIES. PERSONALITIES.

SOULS...IF YOU BELIEVE IN SOULS.

THAT'S CRAZY.

I BELIEVE ONLY IN WHAT I CAN SEE

AND HEAR AND TOUCH.

IF I BELIEVED IN SOULS,

I COULDN'T EXACTLY DO THIS FOR A LIVING.

LISTEN, YOU SAID THERE WAS MONEY TO BE MADE HERE.

OH, THERE IS. THERE IS INDEED.

BUT ONLY AS A BY-PRODUCT

OF THE REAL GOLD, KLAUS--IMMORTALITY.

[VOICES WHISPERING]

[MANY VOICES WHISPERING]

[VOICES STOP]

YOU WERE SAYING, KLAUS?

[ENGINE RUMBLING OVERHEAD]

WE HAVE COMPANY.

EVERYONE, BACK TO THE SHIP FAST.

GET TO THE SKIMMERS IF YOU CAN.

NO, WAIT! YOU CAN'T LEAVE. NOT NOW. WHAT ABOUT--

WE LEAVE THEM!

NO!

YOU LISTEN. IF WHATEVER BUILT THIS PLACE

HAS COME BACK,

THEY MIGHT LET US LEAVE ALIVE IF WE TOUCH NOTHING.

THERE IS NOTHING OF VALUE HERE. ONLY WHISPERS.

I DO NOT CHOOSE TO DIE FOR YOUR WHISPERS.

[VOICES WHISPERING]

[MEN SHOUTING]

[CRAFT APPROACHING]

HMM?

NO. DON'T...DON'T WORRY.

WE'LL FIND A WAY.

I'LL NEVER LET YOU GO.

NEVER.

CAPTAIN. THERE YOU ARE.

I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU.

I'M JUST TAKING A MOMENT

TO STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES, LIEUTENANT.

MA'AM?

DO YOU REALIZE IT'S BEEN ALMOST 3 DAYS

SINCE WE'VE HAD ANY KIND OF CRISIS AROUND HERE?

AND THE LAST ONE WASN'T EVEN A BIG ONE.

YES. IT'S BEEN PRETTY QUIET.

UM, CAPTAIN, I--

NOT TO FAULT PRESIDENT SHERIDAN

BECAUSE HE'S GOT A ROUGH JOB, NO QUESTION.

AND HE'S DOING A GREAT JOB WITH IT,

BUT WHILE HE WAS HERE,

HE WAS A LIGHTNING ROD FOR ALL KINDS OF THINGS.

ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE PAULI EFFECT,

LIEUTENANT?

NO, I DON'T THINK SO.

DR. WOLFGANG PAULI

WAS A PHYSICIST ON EARTH DURING THE LATE 20th CENTURY.

WHENEVER HE STEPPED INSIDE THE PHYSICS LAB,

SOMETHING WOULD GO WRONG OR BREAK DOWN,

USUALLY A VERY EXPENSIVE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT.

IT BECAME KIND OF A JOKE WITH THE OTHER DOCTORS,

WHO CALLED IT THE PAULI EFFECT.

THAT'S VERY INTERESTING, BUT I--

ACCORDING TO THE STORY, ONE DAY,

AN EXTREMELY SENSITIVE AND EXPENSIVE

PIECE OF EQUIPMENT EXPLODED, BUT HE WASN'T IN THE ROOM.

SO FOR THE FIRST TIME,

THEY HAD SOME PROOF THAT THE PAULI EFFECT WASN'T REAL...

UNTIL THEY FOUND OUT

THAT AT THE EXACT MOMENT THE EQUIPMENT EXPLODED,

HE WAS ON A TRAIN PASSING BY RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE PLACE.

SO NOW THERE'S

THE SHERIDAN/GARIBALDI EFFECT.

CAPTAIN. THANK YOU.

ON A PERSONAL LEVEL, I MISS SHERIDAN

NOW THAT HE'S GONE TO MINBAR WITH DELENN.

HELL, ON SOME LEVEL, I EVEN MISS GARIBALDI.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WITH BOTH OF THEM GONE,

MOST OF THE PROBLEMS THAT USED TO FOLLOW THEM AROUND

ARE ALSO GONE.

YOUR VASE, CAPTAIN.

THANK YOU.

OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS,

THIS PLACE HAS BECOME ALMOST MANAGEABLE.

I'M SORRY, LIEUTENANT.

OBVIOUSLY, YOU TRACKED ME DOWN FOR A REASON.

WHAT IS IT?

I JUST THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW,

MR. GARIBALDI JUST CHECKED IN AT CUSTOMS

A FEW MINUTES AGO.

Man: HEY, I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU, BUDDY!

YOU GO TO HELL!

YEAH?

SUDDENLY, I HAVE THIS GREAT, BLINDING PAIN

RIGHT BEHIND MY LEFT EYE.

YOU KNOW, I GET THAT, TOO. RIGHT HERE.

I THINK I MAY HAVE...

[MEN SHOUTING]

[JAZZ PLAYING]

HEY, MR., UH...HOW ARE YOU?

COME ON IN! COME HERE.

YEAH. RIGHT THIS WAY. OH BOY.

IS SHE READY?

IS SHE READY? HA HA!

I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS ONE ALL DAY.

IF SHE WERE ANY MORE READY,

I'D BE BLIND, AND YOU'D GET A REFUND.

NOT THAT WE GIVE REFUNDS,

BUT THAT'S HOW READY SHE IS.

YOU GOT THE PICTURE?

OH, YEAH. THAT'S GOOD. YEAH.

I JUST WANTED YOU TO BE ABLE TO LOOK

AND COMPARE FOR YOURSELF, YOU KNOW.

I'M AN ARTIST. THAT'S WHY I DON'T

COME CHEAP. DID HE PAY?

IN FULL.

OH. WELL, THEN SHE'S ALL YOURS.

[PROPRIETOR LAUGHS]

OH. UH, BEFORE I FORGET, UM...

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO USE ONE OF THOSE?

THERE'S ONE IN YOUR ROOM,

AND IN CASE YOU NEED ANY INSTRUCTIONS, YOU KNOW?

I DON'T WANT ANY PROBLEMS.

NO. THAT'S FINE. I CAN FIGURE IT OUT.

ALL RIGHT. KNOCK YOURSELF OUT, CHIEF.

HAVE A GOOD TIME.

HA HA HA!

OH...

OH, ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER HOLO.

I JUST MADE A PUN.

YOU KNOW, ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER DOLLAR,

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER HOLO. HA HA HA!

I'M A LITERARY KIND OF GUY.

OK. BE THAT WAY.

LET'S SEE HOW YOU LIKE IT

WHEN I MAKE IT THE COMPANY MOTTO

AND YOU HAVE TO SAY IT

EVERY TIME SOMEBODY CALLS.

THEN IT'LL BE FUNNY.

[MAN SCREAMS]

I SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO USE IT.

DIDN'T I SAY HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO USE IT?

DIDN'T I TELL HIM

I'D GIVE HIM INSTRUCTIONS?

IDIOT! IF HE SHORTS THAT THING OUT,

I'M GONNA CHARGE HIM DOUBLE.

HEY, BUDDY!

SO, MR. GARIBALDI.

MICHAEL. PLEASE.

MICHAEL.

WHAT BRINGS YOU BACK TO BABYLON 5?

BUSINESS.

AS YOU KNOW, WHEN I MARRIED LISE,

I TOOK OVER THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATION

OF HER LATE HUSBAND'S CORPORATION.

PROBLEM IS, WE INHERITED

A LOT OF BLACK PROJECTS AND RESEARCH PROGRAMS

THAT HE STARTED BUT HE NEVER TOLD ANYBODY ABOUT.

FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS,

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO TRACK THEM DOWN

AND FIND OUT WHAT'S INVOLVED.

THE GOOD ONES, WE KEEP. THE NOT SO GOOD ONES, OUT.

YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE

SOME OF THE THINGS THIS GUY WAS INTO.

AND THAT TRAIL LED YOU HERE?

MMM, YES AND NO.

I PICKED THIS AS A CONVENIENT MIDWAY POINT

TO MEET UP WITH A RESEARCHER WHO'S BEEN

OFF DOING HIS THINGS

FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

WE'LL GET TOGETHER WHILE I'M HERE,

HE'LL TELL ME WHY HE NEEDS ALL THIS MONEY,

I'LL LISTEN, GO BACK TO MARS.

YOU'LL NEVER EVEN KNOW I WAS HERE.

SOMEHOW, I DOUBT THAT.

[LINK BEEPS]

YES?

CAPTAIN, WE'VE GOT MR. GARIBALDI'S

APPOINTMENT OUT HERE. SHOULD I SEND HIM IN?

UH, JUST A SECOND.

YOU TOLD HIM TO MEET YOU HERE?

I FIGURED THIS WOULD BE

THE EASIEST PLACE TO FIND

IF WE MISSED CONNECTING.

I KNEW YOU WOULDN'T MIND.

Y-YOU ARE...

TRULY AMAZING, MR. GARIBALDI.

I THOUGHT WE AGREED YOU'D CALL ME MICHAEL.

WE DID.

SEND HIM IN.

DID, UH, DID YOU BY ANY CHANCE

ALSO OFFER TO LET HIM STAY IN MY QUARTERS?

OH, NO, NO, NO.

I COULDN'T POSSIBLY IMPOSE.

BUT I DO APPRECIATE THE OFFER.

STILL SOBER?

AS A JUDGE.

I'M GLAD.

MR. GARIBALDI?

DOCTOR.

DOCTOR, I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET

CAPTAIN ELIZABETH LOCHLEY.

CAPTAIN, DR. ROBERT BRYSON.

PLEASURE.

THANK YOU.

IF I MAY ASK, UM, A DOCTOR OF WHAT?

ARCHAEOLOGY,

WITH A SECONDARY DEGREE IN CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY.

HE DIGS STUFF UP.

THANK YOU FOR THE TRANSLATION, MR. GARIBALDI.

IF YOU HADN'T JUMPED IN THERE,

I MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN CONFUSED AND FALLEN DOWN.

WELL, ACTUALLY,

I DIDN'T START OUT DIGGING THINGS UP.

I SPECIALIZED IN PALYNOLOGY.

THAT'S THE STUDY OF FOSSILIZED POLLEN

TO DETERMINE THE AGE

OF THE ACCOMPANYING BODIES.

OH, I'VE HEARD OF IT.

APPARENTLY, IT'S MORE ACCURATE THAN CARBON DATING

AND MORE USEFUL ON OFF-WORLD EXPEDITIONS

SINCE THE CARBON VALUES DIFFER FROM PLANET TO PLANET.

YES. WHY, YOU'RE THE FIRST PERSON I'VE

MET OUTSIDE THE FIELD WHO KNOWS WHAT IT IS.

THERE'S ONLY A DOZEN OF US BACK ON EARTH

WHO SPECIALIZE IN THIS SORT OF THING.

THAT'S WHAT GOT ME INTO INTERPLANETARY DIGS,

AND FROM THERE--

RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT.

LISTEN, UH, I THINK WE SHOULD BE GOING.

I KNOW YOU TWO KIDS COULD TALK SHOP UNTIL DAWN,

BUT WE'VE GOT A LITTLE TALKING OF OUR OWN TO DO,

SO I SUGGEST YOU LET THE CAPTAIN GET BACK TO WORK.

WELL, PERHAPS WE CAN TALK LATER.

OF COURSE.

CAPTAIN...

UH, DR. BRYSON.

FIND ANYTHING INTERESTING LATELY?

YES.

OH, YES. MOST DEFINITELY.

Bryson: I WAS SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT MR. EDGARS

PASSING AWAY LIKE THAT.

HE WAS A GOOD MAN. A VISIONARY.

HE WAS A NUT, AND HE WAS A CONTROL FREAK.

WELL, THESE DAYS,

ONLY A NUT AND A CONTROL FREAK

WOULD COMPLETELY FUND RESEARCH

INTO PURE SCIENCE.

HE DIDN'T DO IT BECAUSE HE WAS TRYING

TO ADVANCE SCIENCE OR SERVE THE COMMONWEALTH.

HE WANTED TO OWN EVERYTHING

THAT WASN'T NAILED DOWN OR ON FIRE.

HE WANTED TO INVENT ANYTHING HE COULDN'T BUY

AND BUY ANYTHING HE COULDN'T INVENT.

PERHAPS.

BUT HE WAS WILLING TO FUND MY PROGRAM,

AND FOR THAT ALONE,

I WILL ALWAYS CONSIDER HIM A GOOD MAN.

ANYWAY...

THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHY I WANTED TO SEE YOU.

NOW, ACCORDING TO OUR RECORDS,

YOUR WORK HAS BEEN FUNDED TO THE TUNE OF OVER

2 MILLION CREDITS A YEAR. THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY.

I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IT'S FOR SO I CAN BETTER EVALUATE

WHETHER OR NOT TO CONTINUE FUNDING IT.

THE LEDGERS DIDN'T SAY?

NO. THEY ONLY HAD THE INITIALS L.E.

NEXT TO THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS.

OH, I SEE.

I SUPPOSE L.E.

COULD BE SHORTHAND FOR LIFE EXTENSION,

BUT KNOWING MR. EDGARS,

I THINK IT WAS A REFERENCE

TO MY PET NAME FOR THE PROJECT,

LIFE ETERNAL.

IMMORTALITY.

I'M ENGAGED IN NOTHING LESS

THAN THE SEARCH FOR ETERNAL LIFE,

MR. GARIBALDI.

AHH. I SEE.

AT THE HEIGHT OF OUR MEDICAL EXPERTISE,

WE CAN EXTEND HUMAN LIFE TO 110, MAYBE 115 YEARS,

BUT THERE ARE DOZENS OF ALIEN LIFE FORMS

THAT CAN LIVE DOUBLE, EVEN TRIPLE THAT.

AND SOME OLDER ALIEN CIVILIZATIONS

CAN SUSTAIN LIFE

IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

SOME OF THEM ELIMINATED DEATH ENTIRELY.

CAN YOU THINK OF A WORTHIER CAUSE

THAN IMMORTALITY, MR. GARIBALDI?

WELL, THAT WOULD DEPEND UPON 3 THINGS.

NUMBER 1--DOES IT REALLY EXIST?

NUMBER 2--HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

AND NUMBER 3-- WHO GETS TO USE IT?

WHICH, GIVEN THE PROBABLE ANSWER TO NUMBER 2,

MEANS PROBABLY JUST THE RICH FOLK.

THAT WAS THE GENERAL IDEA.

MR. EDGARS SAW CONSIDERABLE PROFIT

IN FINDING THE ANSWER

TO THE QUESTION OF LIFE ETERNAL.

AND HAVE YOU?

YOU'VE BEEN AT THIS FOR OVER 3 YEARS.

ARE YOU ANY CLOSER TO THE ANSWER NOW

THAN WHEN YOU STARTED?

LET ME TAKE THIS FOR YOU.

I, UH...

I THINK I AM, MR. GARIBALDI.

I FOUND SOMETHING RECENTLY THAT--

WELL, FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS OF MY LIFE,

I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR.

THIS DISCOVERY COULD UNLOCK THE ANSWER

TO ETERNAL LIFE.

AND WHAT'S THAT?

OH. WELL, I--

I DON'T WANT TO SAY JUST YET.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT IS WHAT IT IS

AND THAT I FULLY UNDERSTAND HOW IT WORKS.

DR. BRYSON, I HAVE COME A LONG WAY.

SO HAVE I.

MR. GARIBALDI, I JUST NEED A FEW MORE DAYS

TO FINISH MY PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS,

AND THEN I'LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING.

NO.

I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT I CAN WAIT FOR THE WHOLE THING,

BUT I CAN'T.

YOU MAY HAVE FOUND SOMETHING NEW,

AND I CAN UNDERSTAND

THAT YOU WANT TO TAKE THE TIME AND INVESTIGATE,

BUT THAT DOESN'T COVER THE DATA

THAT YOU'VE BEEN GATHERING FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS.

YOU CAN AT LEAST GIVE ME THAT INFORMATION

SO I'M IN A BETTER POSITION

TO EVALUATE THIS NEW FINDING OF YOURS.

MR. GARIBALDI--

NO. NO, THAT'S THE CONDITION OR I'M BACK ON MARS

AND YOUR FUNDING STOPS, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.

FINE. IT'LL TAKE A WHILE

FOR ME TO GET MY NOTES TOGETHER

SO THAT YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THEM.

OH, THAT'S FINE. THAT'S FINE.

I'LL SWING BY YOUR QUARTERS TOMORROW MORNING,

AND I CAN GET A CHANCE TO LOOK OVER THE MATERIAL YOU HAVE

WHILE YOU FINISH DOING...

WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU'RE DOING.

THANK YOU.

FASCINATING, ISN'T IT?

OUR OBSESSION WITH LIFE AND DEATH

AND BEYOND.

WE EAT THAT WHICH IS DEAD

IN ORDER TO STAY ALIVE.

DEATH BECOMES PART OF OUR DAILY ROUTINE,

OUR--OUR VERY CONSCIOUSNESS.

BUT THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE TO LEARN TO MAKE THE BREAK--

NOT AT THE LEVEL OF FLESH AND BONE,

BUT AT THE LEVEL OF THE MIND.

WHAT WE ARE IS WHAT'S IN HERE,

AND THE REST...

IT'S USELESS.

DEAD MEAT.

CAPTAIN, CAN I SEE YOU FOR A MINUTE?

YES, LIEUTENANT. WHAT IS IT?

COME ON IN.

THIS IS MR. CLUTE.

HE'S BEEN BRINGING ME UP TO SPEED

ON A PROBLEM IN DOWNBELOW.

I THOUGHT YOU'D WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT YOURSELF.

ALL RIGHT.

GO ON, MR. CLUTE.

WELL, THIS IS A LITTLE EMBARRASSING.

I DON'T WANT THIS TO GET BACK HOME.

IT'LL GET ME IN A LOT OF TROUBLE.

ANYTHING SAID IN THIS ROOM STAYS IN THIS ROOM.

ALL RIGHT.

WELL, I WAS TRYING OUT

THE HOLOBROTHEL IN BROWN 11,

AND NOT ONLY WAS THE EQUIPMENT FAULTY,

IT WAS DANGEROUSLY FAULTY. THE WIRING WAS SHOT.

SOONER OR LATER, SOMEONE'S GOING TO GET KILLED, OR--

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. THE WHAT?

THE HOLOBROTHEL.

WE DON'T HAVE A HOLOGRAPHIC BROTHEL ONBABYLON 5.

IT APPEARS WE DO NOW.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

THE OWNER SAID THE PLACE WAS SANCTIONED

BY STATION PERSONNEL.

THAT'S THE ONLY REASON I SPENT MONEY ON IT.

LOTS OF PEOPLE CLAIM THEIR BUSINESS IS SANCTIONED BY US.

MORE THAN HALF OF THEM ARE LYING.

YOU SHOULD NEVER BELIEVE A CLAIM LIKE THAT

WITHOUT CHECKING WITH US FIRST.

ALL RIGHT. TAKE HIM DOWN TO SECURITY.

GET A FULL REPORT.

OFF THE RECORD.

THEN TURN ZACK LOOSE ON THEM.

THANK YOU, MR. CLUTE. I APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION.

WE WILL TAKE IT FROM HERE.

THANK YOU.

I'LL BE WITH YOU IN A SECOND.

CAPTAIN, BEFORE I GO,

WHEN YOU GOT YOUR HEADACHE EARLIER,

I SAID I MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING FOR IT.

UM, MOST HEADACHES ARE CAUSED BY STRESS,

AND SINCE THIS HAS REALLY WORKED FOR ME,

I THOUGHT I'D PICK YOU ONE UP AS WELL.

HERE.

WELL...THANK YOU. IT'S--IT'S VERY, UH...

IT'S QUITE...

WHAT IS IT EXACTLY?

IT'S A LOVE BAT. IT'S REALLY GREAT

FOR RELIEVING THE PHYSICAL

AND EMOTIONAL STRESS THAT CAN CAUSE

HEADACHES OR MUSCLE TENSION.

HERE. IT WORKS LIKE THIS.

Female voice: I LOVE YOU.

I FORGIVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU.

I FORGIVE YOU.

SEE? IT PHYSICALLY RELEASES THE NEED

FOR PUNISHMENT AND GUILT

WHEN WE DO SOMETHING WRONG

AND AT THE SAME TIME SUPPLIES POSITIVE,

VERBAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL REINFORCEMENT.

HELPS BOOST CONFIDENCE AND SELF-ESTEEM.

WELL.

THANK YOU. I'M...

I'M SURE IT'LL COME IN VERY HANDY.

NOT A PROBLEM.

I LOVE YOU.

I FORGIVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU.

Bryson: CAN YOU HEAR ME?

CAN YOU SEE ME?

CAN YOU HEAR ME?

BRYSON, PERSONAL JOURNAL UPDATE.

11 JUNE 2263.

I'VE MADE CONTACT.

[JAZZ PLAYS]

OH, UH, EXCUSE ME, SIR.

[SIGHS]

ARE YOU IN CHARGE HERE?

[BUZZ]

Proprietor: WHAT?

I TOLD YOU NEVER TO BOTHER ME WHILE I--

HA HA! HI. HOW ARE YA?

JACOB MAYHEW. NICE TO MEET YOU.

ZACK ALLEN. HEAD OF SECURITY.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR ME IS PACK UP YOUR STUFF

AND GET ON THE FIRST TRANSPORT OUT OF HERE.

HA HA HA! NO, I'M SORRY. I CAN'T DO THAT.

SEE, UH, I LEASED THESE QUARTERS HERE FOR 6 MONTHS.

I PAID IN ADVANCE.

YOU PEOPLE CASHED THE CHECK.

I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING ILLEGAL.

YOU DON'T HAVE A PERMIT TO RUN A BUSINESS LIKE THIS.

YEAH, YEAH. I GOT AN ENTERTAINMENT PERMIT.

THAT DOESN'T COVER RUNNING A HOLOGRAPHIC BROTHEL.

IT DOESN'T EXCLUDE IT, EITHER.

IT'S NOT MY FAULT THAT YOU PEOPLE ON BABYLON 5

AREN'T SPECIFIC ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT YOU THINK

IS APPROPRIATE ENTERTAINMENT.

THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM, NOT MINE.

LOOK--

LOOK, THE PERMIT THAT I HAVE

SAYS THAT I COULD RUN AN UNSPECIFIED

ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS, WHICH IS WHAT I'M DOING.

YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE PERMIT, GO RIGHT AHEAD.

IT'S YOUR RIGHT, BUT IT'S NOT RETROACTIVE.

I BOOKED THIS PLACE FOR 6 MONTHS

UNDER THE OLD PERMIT. I'M NOT LEAVING.

UH, THERE'S ALSO A THING CALLED, UM,

FREEDOM OF SPEECH...

LOOK, LET'S NOT GET HOSTILE HERE.

LOOK AROUND YOU.

IT'S ALL JUST AN ILLUSION.

IT'S...OK, IT'S A VERY NICE ILLUSION,

BUT ILLUSION.

IT'S--IT'S A HOLOGRAM.

OH, AFTER YOU, DOROTHY.

YOU WANT TO SPEND TIME WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND,

YOU'RE FAR AWAY FROM HOME, YOU COME TO ME.

YOU WANT TO SPEND A LITTLE TIME

WITH THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY IN COLLEGE,

YOU JUST BRING ME A 3-VIEW PHOTO,

I PLUG IN A FEW FIGURES,

AND...YOU CAN BE WITH ANYBODY YOU WANT.

HERE. LOOK AT THIS. THIS IS THE BEST

SENSUAL TELEMETRY BODY SUIT ON THE MARKET, HUH?

IT'S TOP OF THE LINE.

SHE'S NOT REALLY HERE,

BUT WHEN SHE TOUCHES YOU...

THE SUIT RESPONDS,

CREATING AN IMPRESSION OF TOUCH.

YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU WANT

TO ANYBODY YOU WANT.

YOU JUST BRING ME A PICTURE.

I'LL SUPPLY THE FANTASY.

DO YOU HAVE ANY RIGHT TO USE THESE IMAGES?

RIGHT, SCHMITE.

IF SOMEONE GIVES ME A PICTURE,

THE LAW SAYS THAT I CAN USE IT ANY WAY I WANT

EXCEPT I CAN'T PUBLISH IT

OR I CAN'T EXPLOIT IT PUBLICLY.

THIS IS ONE-ON-ONE.

Man: SURRENDER, DOROTHY.

[WOMAN GIGGLING]

HEY, YOU WANT TO TRY IT FOR YOURSELF?

COME ON. I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU FOR FREE.

OR ON THE OTHER HAND,

IF YOU'RE HERE FOR A FIGHT,

I CAN GET INTO THAT, TOO.

YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST COME IN HERE

AND INTIMIDATE ME INTO LEAVING,

THINK AGAIN.

YOU WANT ME OUT OF HERE, TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT.

I'LL SEE YOU IN COURT.

YOU GOT IT.

MEANWHILE, I SUGGEST YOU TELL THESE OTHER FOLKS HERE

ABOUT HOW THIS EQUIPMENT OF YOURS

IS FAULTY AND DANGEROUS. HELL, I'M SURPRISED

SOMEBODY HASN'T BEEN ELECTROCUTED BY NOW.

I'LL BE BACK LATER WITH THOSE PAPERS.

Man: WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT BEING DANGEROUS?

Second man: I'M GETTING MY MONEY BACK.

GET RILEY ON THE LINE.

Bryson: I'M CONTINUING TO GET REACTIONS FROM THE GLOBE.

I THINK THEY'RE TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH ME,

BUT SILENTLY. IT COULD BE

A FORM OF TELEPATHIC COMMUNICATION

OR SOMETHING MORE ELEMENTAL.

I'M GOING TO TRY INCREASING THE POWER

TO SEE IF THAT HELPS.

CAN YOU HEAR ME?

WHO ARE YOU?

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

NAME...

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

NAME...

GONE.

AAH!

WHAT'S WRONG?

THEY CAME FOR US.

THEY TOOK US AWAY.

THEY HAD NO RIGHT.

LET ME GO BACK TO SLEEP.

LET ME DIE.

THEN YOU'RE NOT DEAD...

NOT A RECORDING, YOUR...

LIVING MIND PRESERVED AT THE MOMENT OF DEATH.

AAH!

AAH!

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

LEAVE US ALONE.

DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT?

LEAVE US ALONE!

MUST WRITE THIS DOWN.

I'VE GOT TO WRITE THIS DOWN.

[YAWN]

[WOMAN CRYING]

HELLO?

MA'AM?

ARE YOU OK?

ARE YOU HURT?

MY CHILDREN...

WHERE ARE MY CHILDREN?

WHERE ARE MY CHILDREN?

WHERE ARE MY CHILDREN?

AAH!

CAPTAIN ELIZABETH LOCHLEY?

THAT'S ME, BUT IF YOU DON'T MIND,

I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF BREAKFAST.

THAT'S FINE. WON'T TAKE A MINUTE.

MY NAME IS JAMES RILEY, ATTORNEY FOR JACOB MAYHEW,

OWNER OF THE NEW WAY HOLOSYSTEMS CORPORATION IN BROWN 11,

AND THIS IS A RESTRAINING ORDER,

OFFICIAL SERVICE OF PAPERS,

AND A SUBPOENA.

I'M BEING SUED BY THE OWNER OF A HOLOBROTHEL?

MM-HMM, YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL

AND BABYLON 5 AS A CORPORATION.

ON WHAT CHARGE?

RESTRAINT OF TRADE, HARASSMENT,

INFRINGEMENT OF MY CLIENT'S RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH,

BASIC VIOLATION OF HIS CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT

TO THE PRESENCE OF AN ATTORNEY DURING QUESTIONING,

AND SLANDER, BASED ON THE FALSE COMMENTS

OF YOUR EMPLOYEE, UH... MR. ZACK ALLAN,

ABOUT THE CONDITION OF MY CLIENT'S BUSINESS.

OH, THIS HAS GOT TO BE A JOKE.

I DON'T SEE ANYTHING FUNNY IN THIS, CAPTAIN.

BETWEEN STATUTORY AND PUNITIVE DAMAGES,

YOUR ILLEGAL CONDUCT TOWARD MY CLIENT

COULD RESULT IN FINES AMOUNTING TO SEVERAL MILLION CREDITS,

AND WHILE SOME OF THAT AMOUNT MIGHT BE COVERED

BY WHATEVER INSURANCE YOU HOLD,

YOU WOULD BE LIABLE FOR THE REST

UNDER STANDARD EARTHFORCE INDEMNIFICATION CLAUSES.

SEE YOU IN COURT, CAPTAIN.

OOH! YUM! ENJOY YOUR BREAKFAST.

[DOOR CHIMES]

[DOOR CHIMES]

Bryson: YES?

DR. BRYSON, MICHAEL GARIBALDI.

SAID I WAS GOING TO STOP BY THIS MORNING

TO PICK UP YOUR NOTES.

THIS... ISN'T A GOOD TIME.

GOOD OR BAD,

IT'S THE TIME WE AGREED TO YESTERDAY.

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE ME,

WHY DON'T YOU JUST SAY SO,

AND I'LL ASSUME YOU FOUND SOMEONE ELSE

TO FUND YOUR RESEARCH.

THANK YOU.

TOUGH NIGHT?

I WAS WORKING LATE.

HMM. FIND ANYTHING INTERESTING?

INTERESTING?

[CHUCKLING]

YOU'VE NO IDEA, NO IDEA AT ALL.

WELL, MAYBE THAT'S BECAUSE

YOU HAVEN'T GIVEN ME THE INFORMATION I ASKED YOU FOR.

YOUR NOTES? ON YOUR WORK TO DATE?

MY NOTES?

YES, YOUR NOTES.

OH, YES, YES. YES! MY--

MY NOTES. YES.

YES, I BURNED THEM.

IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE.

NONE OF IT MATTERS.

IT'S BECOME IRRELEVANT.

I MEAN, I'VE SEEN PAST BEYOND,

OVER THE EDGE TO WHAT IS KNOWN--

WHO ARE YOU, HMM?

EXCUSE ME?

WHO ARE YOU, REALLY?

ARE YOU WHAT I SEE OR WHAT'S INSIDE?

IF I TAKE AWAY YOUR MEMORIES,

THE SUM AND SUBSTANCE

OF ALL THAT YOU HAVE SEEN, DONE, KNOWN,

ARE YOU STILL YOU ANYMORE?

AND BY TAKING THESE THINGS AWAY,

DO I NOW OWN YOU, HMM?

DR. BRYSON, I WANT YOU TO LISTEN TO ME VERY CAREFULLY.

I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN UNDER A GREAT STRAIN LATELY.

YOU'VE BEEN CHASING AFTER THIS DREAM OF YOURS

FOR A LONG TIME, AND I THINK--

WHAT YOU THINK IS IMMATERIAL.

IT'S ALL IMMATERIAL.

AT LEAST ALL THE-- THE PARTS THAT MATTER.

AND KEEP YOUR MONEY.

I DON'T NEED IT ANYMORE.

I HAVE EVERYTHING THAT I NEED.

I JUST HAVE TO GO DEEPER,

LOOK MORE DEEPLY,

LISTEN TO THEM MORE CLOSELY.

LISTEN TO WHO?

THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

NOW, GET OUT.

LOOK, DR. BRYSON--

I SAID GET OUT!

Zack: HE'S NUTS!

HE'S OUT OF HIS FRAGGIN' MIND.

I CAN'T BELIEVE

HE'S ACTUALLY GOING TO TRY AND SUE US.

HE'S GOT TO KNOW HE CAN'T POSSIBLY WIN.

WELL, YOU DON'T ALWAYS SUE BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU CAN WIN.

YOU SUE TO HARASS PEOPLE, INTIMIDATE THEM,

MAYBE EVEN PICK UP A SETTLEMENT ALONG THE WAY,

WHETHER YOU DESERVE IT OR NOT.

HE CAN TIE THIS THING UP FOR MONTHS, ZACK.

YEAH, AND BY THAT TIME,

HIS LEASE WILL HAVE ALREADY EXPIRED.

EXACTLY.

SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT WE SHOULD JUST DROP THIS THING

AND LET IT GO.

OH, COME ON. WE HAVE FACED SHADOWS AND INVASIONS

AND ATTACKS ON THIS STATION,

AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO GIVE IN TO LAWYERS?

NO, NO. I'M JUST SAYING THAT WE MAY NEED TO FIND

A MORE DISCREET WAY OF DEALING WITH IT,

THAT'S ALL. MEANWHILE,

HAVE SOMEONE FROM MAINTENANCE

GO DOWN AND CHECK OUT THEIR EQUIPMENT.

I DON'T WANT ANYONE GETTING HURT

WHILE WE'RE FIGHTING THIS OUT.

WHY DO WE HAVE TO BE DISCREET? HE'S NOT.

NOT ONLY IS HE TRYING THIS LAWYER BIT,

BUT LAST NIGHT, HE USED ONE OF THOSE HOLOGRAMS

TO TRY TO SPOOK ME OUT.

HOW SO?

I WAS DOWN IN BLUE 6.

I SAW THIS, UH...

I DON'T KNOW--APPARITION.

IT WAS A WOMAN UP ON THE STAIRS CRYING,

AND THEN SHE JUMPS OUT AT ME...AND DISAPPEARS.

I FIGURED IT HAD TO BE A HOLOGRAM OF SOME KIND.

MM-MM. NOT POSSIBLE.

THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY AND EQUIPMENT NECESSARY

TO GENERATE

A 3-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE LIKE THAT

ISN'T PORTABLE. HE CAN ONLY DO IT

INSIDE A VERY SMALL AREA.

THEN HOW THE--

CAPTAIN, YOU GOT A MINUTE?

JUST. WHAT'S UP?

JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW

THAT I WAS DONE HERE. BE HEADING BACK

TO MARS ON THE FIRST AVAILABLE TRANSPORT.

WELL, THAT'S--

[BEEP BEEP]

YES?

Lieutenant: CAPTAIN, WE'VE GOT SOMETHING UNUSUAL

COMING THROUGH THE JUMPGATE.

PUT IT THROUGH. LET ME SEE.

THEY'RE HERE.

Garibaldi: OH, HELL.

Lochley: YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS?

YEAH. I SAW A COUPLE OF THOSE SHIPS YEARS AGO.

THAT'S A SOUL HUNTER.

THE STORY IS, THEY TRAVEL ALL OVER THE PLACE

CAPTURING THE SOULS OF IMPORTANT PEOPLE

RIGHT AT THE MOMENT OF DEATH.

I THOUGHT THEY WERE JUST LEGENDS.

NO. THEY'RE REAL, ALL RIGHT. CHECK THE RECORDS.

SO WHAT'S IT DOING HERE?

I DON'T KNOW.

ALL I KNOW IS, THE ONLY TIME THEY SHOW UP

IS WHEN SOMEONE IS ABOUT TO DIE.

[ZACK COUGHING]

I JUST HAVE A DRY SPOT IN MY THROAT

FROM THE AIR CONDITIONING.

I FEEL FINE. STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT.

I THINK WE SHOULD GO SEE WHAT HE WANTS.

MR. GARIBALDI, SINCE YOU'VE HAD

SOME EXPERIENCE WITH THESE PEOPLE,

I'D APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD COME ALONG.

CONSIDER IT DONE.

YOU KNOW, YOU ARE LOOKING KIND OF PALE.

DON'T START WITH ME.

[BANGING]

THAT'S FAR ENOUGH.

I MEAN IT.

STATE YOUR BUSINESS HERE.

WHO ARE YOU HERE FOR?

NOT YOU.

NONE OF YOU.

NOT TODAY.

SOMETHING WAS STOLEN FROM US...

TAKEN FROM US...

TAKEN HERE.

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHATEVER YOU LOST

WAS BROUGHT HERE?

THE ONE WHO STOLE FROM US...

THE ONE WHO BROUGHT IT HERE...

HAD OTHERS WITH HIM. THEY TOLD US.

HOW DO YOU KNOW

THEY WERE TELLING THE TRUTH?

HOW DO WE KNOW?

[VOICES SCREAMING]

WE KNOW.

THEY SAY THE NAME OF THE ONE

WHO STOLE FROM US...

THE NAME OF THE ONE WHO BROUGHT IT HERE...

IS BRYSON.

WHY IS IT YOU? WHY IS IT ALWAYS YOU?

WHAT DID HE TAKE?

Soul Hunter: MORE THAN YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE,

FOR WE ARE DRAWN TO DEATH,

TO THE MOMENT OF PASSAGE,

FOR THE PURPOSE OF DEFEATING DEATH.

WE CAPTURE THOSE RARE SOULS--

THE POETS AND PHILOSOPHERS, THE ARTISTS, THE LEADERS--

WE COLLECT THEM ALL,

AND WHAT WAS TAKEN FROM US, WHAT IS OURS,

WERE AMONG THE RAREST OF THE RARE.

THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO, RALGA WAS A DISTANT WORLD

WHOSE NAME HAD BEEN FORGOTTEN

BY ALL BUT OUR ORDER.

THEY WERE AN ADVANCED PEOPLE

WHO CHOSE NOT TO LEAVE THEIR PLANET

AND GO BEYOND THE STARS,

AN EXQUISITE RACE OF POETS AND DREAMERS

AND PHILOSOPHERS AND LEADERS,

A RACE WISE BEYOND THEIR TIME AND SOON...

TO DIE BEFORE THEIR TIME.

WE KNEW IT. WE FELT IT.

WE ARE DRAWN BY THE SMELL OF DEATH.

THE PASSING OF THE PHYSICAL FORM IS LIKE A BEACON TO US,

AND WE CAME AT ONCE BECAUSE WE COULD FEEL

THE PASSING OF A BILLION MINDS.

WE DID NOT KNOW THE CAUSE,

IF IT WAS A DISEASE OR THE RESULT OF WAR

OR SOME PLANETARY DISASTER.

IT DID NOT MATTER.

ALL THAT MATTERS IS THAT IT HAPPENS,

AND WE DECIDED THAT WE WOULD SAVE THEM ALL--

AN ENTIRE WORLD OF SOULS

CLAIMED AT THE INSTANT OF DEATH.

MAGNIFICENT ACHIEVEMENT.

ONLY 3 TIMES IN OUR HISTORY HAVE WE DONE SUCH A THING.

THEN IT WAS DECIDED TO PLACE THE RALGA VESSEL OF SOULS

IN ONE OF OUR WHISPER GALLERIES,

WHERE THEY WOULD NEVER BE ALONE,

WHERE THEY MIGHT TALK TO EACH OTHER THERE

IN THE GREAT GALLERY.

WE WERE CERTAIN THAT NO ONE ELSE

WAS AWARE OF THE LOCATION.

ALAS, WE WERE WRONG.

SO YOU'RE SAYING THIS VESSEL CONTAINS A BILLION SOULS?

NOW, LOOK, LOOK,

I'VE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH THIS ONCE.

I DON'T BELIEVE IN SOULS.

YOU WANT TO TELL ME THIS THING OF YOURS

RECORDED THE THOUGHTS OF A BILLION PEOPLE,

HEY, THAT'S FINE. I'M WITH YOU.

IT'S A BIG JOB, BUT IT'S POSSIBLE.

HELL, IN THE LAST HUNDRED YEARS,

WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO MAP BRAIN PATTERNS,

PROGRAM MEMORIES, AND EVEN RECORD THOUGHT,

BUT DON'T START WITH ME ABOUT THIS SOUL BUSINESS.

Lochley: IT DOESN'T MATTER

WHAT YOU BELIEVE, MICHAEL.

WHATEVER IT IS, WHATEVER'S INSIDE,

WAS STOLEN FROM THESE PEOPLE,

AND IT SHOULD BE RETURNED.

WHY?

LOOK, LET'S ASSUME YOU'RE TELLING THE TRUTH.

WISDOM.

WHO SAYS THESE GUYS GET CUSTODY OF SOMEBODY'S SOUL?

WERE THESE PEOPLE EVER CONSULTED?

WOULD THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO STAY LOCKED UP LIKE THAT FOREVER?

THE ALTERNATIVE IS DEATH.

OR HEAVEN.

OK. SO I BELIEVE IN HEAVEN. YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?

NO HEAVEN. NOTHING BEYOND.

ONLY THE DARK,

IMPENETRABLE WALL OF DEATH.

[BEEP BEEP]

YES?

Lieutenant: CAPTAIN, WE'VE CHECKED

DR. BRYSON'S QUARTERS.

HE'S GONE. IT LOOKS LIKE HE PACKED UP FAST.

GREAT.

HE KNOWS WE'RE HERE.

THEY'VE TOLD HIM WE'RE HERE.

THESE SOULS...

THEY CAN SPEAK TO YOU?

THE LONGER YOU ARE IN THEIR COMPANY,

THE MORE YOU CAN HEAR THEIR VOICES.

THAT VESSEL MUST BE RETURNED TO US.

ONLY WE CAN ATTEND TO IT SAFELY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, SAFELY?

THERE IS STRENGTH ENOUGH IN ONE MIND, ONE SOUL,

TO CHANGE THE UNIVERSE.

CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW MUCH STRENGTH THERE WOULD BE

IN ONE BILLION SOULS, ALL FOCUSED ON ESCAPE?

OR WORSE.

IF THESE MINDS-- SOULS--WHATEVER--

THEY'VE BEEN IMPRISONED FOR A THOUSAND YEARS,

WHAT IF THEY'RE BEYOND CARING ABOUT ESCAPE?

WHAT IF ALL THEY CARE ABOUT NOW IS REVENGE?

WHAT COULD THEY DO?

IT WOULD DEPEND. THEY WOULD HAVE TO FIND

SOMEONE THEY COULD INFLUENCE AND DIRECT,

SOMEONE WITH THE KNOWLEDGE

AND THE RESOURCES TO DO PHYSICALLY

WHAT THEY CANNOT DO.

WHAT COULD THEY DO?

IN TIME, ALMOST ANYTHING.

Bryson: YES. I UNDERSTAND.

I WON'T LET THEM TAKE YOU,

NO MATTER WHAT.

BETTER TO DESTROY THE STATION,

EMBRACE THE DARKNESS,

THAN GO BACK THERE.

YES. I UNDERSTAND.

I UNDERSTAND.

ALL WE KNOW FOR SURE IS THAT

DR. BRYSON HAS GONE UNDERGROUND,

TAKING THE STOLEN OBJECT WITH HIM.

THIS IS A BIG PLACE, BUT IF HE'S STILL HERE--

AND OUR VISITOR SEEMS CONFIDENT THAT HE IS--

THEN WE CAN AND WILL FIND HIM.

I WANT AN ORGANIZED SEARCH OF EVERY LEVEL,

STARTING WITH THE EMPTY QUARTERS.

CHECK EVERY AIR DUCT, CRAWLSPACE,

AND SUB-LEVEL WE'VE GOT.

WE DON'T KNOW IF HE'S ARMED,

BUT HE SHOULD STILL BE CONSIDERED DANGEROUS.

I ALSO WANT REPORTS ON ANYTHING STRANGE

THAT HAPPENS AROUND HERE TONIGHT,

NO MATTER HOW IRRELEVANT IT MAY SEEM.

DISMISSED.

Riley: CAPTAIN!

HOW ARE YOU? I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU HAD TIME

TO CONSIDER YOUR RESPONSE TO OUR SUIT.

I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS, MR. RILEY.

WELL, UNLESS YOU WANT TO CONCEDE THE CASE,

I SUGGEST A MORE CONSTRUCTIVE ATTITUDE.

WE CAN DISCUSS A SETTLEMENT NOW, IF YOU'D LIKE.

IN CASE YOU HADN'T NOTICED,

WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A SITUATION HERE,

SO WHY DON'T YOU GO

CHASE AN AMBULANCE SOMEWHERE

AND LET ME GET BACK TO MY BUSINESS?

I WAS HOPING WE COULD WORK THIS OUT AMICABLY,

BUT APPARENTLY, YOU PREFER A LONG,

DRAWN-OUT COURT FIGHT, WHICH IS FINE WITH ME,

SINCE YOU'LL BE LIABLE FOR ALL THE COURT COSTS

IN ADDITION TO STATUTORY AND PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

SEE YOU.

DAMAGES.

I'LL DAMAGE HIM

IF HE COMES IN HERE ONE MORE TIME.

ABSOLUTELY.

Female voice: I LOVE YOU. I FORGIVE YOU.

IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG NIGHT.

[BEEP BEEP]

OH, HONEY, YOU LOOK GREAT.

AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS OF WORKING

NEXT DOOR TO YOU, I ALWAYS WONDERED

WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE.

NOW I GET TO FIND OUT.

UH, HONEY?

NATALEENA? IS IT YOU?

Woman: DURFAL, I WOULD KNOW YOU ANYWHERE...

NO MATTER HOW YOU APPEARED ON THE OUTSIDE.

IT'S BEEN SO LONG, MY HUSBAND...

MY LIFE...

SO LONG SINCE I COULD TOUCH YOU.

Man: UH, I'M STILL HERE. AND YOU SHOULDN'T--

UH, I DIDN'T PROGRAM IN A THREESOME.

AT LEAST, I DON'T THINK I DID.

UH, THAT IS, THIS ISN'T WHAT I ASKED FOR

IN MY FANTASY.

IT WAS JUST SUPPOSED TO BE YOU.

NOT TO SAY THAT I'M OPPOSED,

IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, NOT EXACTLY WHAT I--

MY PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE, YOU KNOW,

DID RAISE SOME QUESTIONS,

AND THERE WAS THAT ONE TIME AT CAMP.

IT WAS JUST THAT ONE TIME,

AND I DIDN'T REALLY THINK ANYTHING--

[CLEARS THROAT]

WELL, I GUESS I SHOULD LEAVE YOU TWO ALONE.

EXCUSE ME. THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE--

JUST A MINUTE.

RIGHT. I--I'LL JUST WAIT RIGHT HERE.

CAN I HAVE ONE OF THOSE INSTEAD?

Female voice: BAB-BABCOM. PLEASE INSERT--

COME ON, YOU LOUSY PIECE OF GARBAGE!

IDEN-DEN-DENTICARD--

I ALREADY GAVE YOU MY IDENTICARD NUMBER!

MAKE THE DAMN CALL!

[EXPLOSION]

HEY, WHAT'S THE DEAL HERE?

WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?

JUST STAY WHERE YOU ARE. NO.

DON'T COME NEAR ME.

I'M TELLING YOU, DON'T COME NEAR ME.

IT'S JUST A LOUSY MACHINE!

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! NO! NO!

AAH!

WHO LET YOU IN HERE?

NO ONE. THEY WERE TAKING ME TO A PLACE

I DID NOT WISH TO GO, SO I MADE THEM SLEEP.

I WENT OFF ON MY OWN,

AND MY WANDERING BROUGHT ME HERE.

YOU MADE THEM SLEEP?

OH, THEY ARE NOT HARMED.

OUR ORDER DOES NOT HARM OTHERS UNLESS IT IS NECESSARY.

IT DAMAGES THE SOUL.

AND DOES YOUR ORDER CONSIDER BREAKING

AND ENTERING TO BE ANOTHER VIRTUE?

WE ARE TAUGHT TO GO WHEREVER THE SPIRIT MOVES US.

WELL, AS LONG AS YOU'RE HERE,

I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND IF I EAT.

I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE ALL DAY.

YOU'RE WELCOME TO HAVE SOME.

NO, THANK YOU.

OUR SHIPS PROVIDE ALL THE NUTRITION WE NEED.

I CAN FUNCTION FOR SEVERAL DAYS

BEFORE I HAVE TO RETURN TO MY SHIP TO FEED.

YOU SURE? IT'S BARBECUE.

THERE'S THIS PLACE IN DOWNBELOW

THAT MAKES THE BEST BARBECUE BEEF BURGERS.

NOT THAT I HAVE THE SLIGHTEST DELUSION

THAT THIS IS BEEF, BUT IF IT TASTES GREAT,

YOU LEARN NOT TO ASK QUESTIONS.

NONE OF THE OTHER COMMAND STAFF

EVEN GOES NEAR IT.

I THINK THE AREA MAKES THEM NERVOUS.

IF YOU DIDN'T WANT TO TALK,

WHY DID YOU COME HERE?

WHY DID THE SPIRIT MOVE YOU?

CURIOSITY, I SUPPOSE.

THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN.

WE HAVE VERY LITTLE CONTACT WITH OTHERS.

IN FACT, WE RARELY SPEAK TO ANYONE, EXCEPT, OF COURSE,

THOSE WE ARE CALLED UPON TO SAVE.

AND WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM AFTER YOU'VE SAVED THEM?

THEY ARE PLACED IN THE GREAT HALLS,

WHICH HAVE BEEN PROVIDED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

AND THEN WHAT?

AND THEN...WHAT, WHAT?

OK. OK. PUTTING ASIDE FOR THE MOMENT

THE QUESTION ABOUT JUST WHAT

IT IS YOU'RE TAKING, THE MEMORY OR THE SOUL,

LET'S SAY YOU TAKE

THE ESSENCE OF A GREAT CONCERT PIANIST,

AND THEN YOU PUT HIM IN ONE OF THESE

GREAT HALLS. THEN WHAT HAPPENS?

WE PRESERVE HIM AGAINST THE AGES.

WE CONTINUE HIM.

AND THAT'S IT?

HE HAS NO FURTHER CONTACT WITH ANYONE?

OH, SOMETIMES WE TALK WITH THE SOULS,

AND THEY WILL TALK WITH EACH OTHER.

I SEE.

WELL, MR. GARIBALDI'S FEELINGS ABOUT HEAVEN

NOTWITHSTANDING, I THINK YOU'VE JUST

DESCRIBED HELL ABOUT AS WELL

AS ANYTHING I'VE EVER HEARD.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, BECAUSE YOU ARE TRAPPED,

IMPRISONED IN YOUR OWN FLESH.

THE FLESH HAS DESIRES, THE FLESH HAS NEEDS,

BUT THE SOUL IS PURE.

THE SOUL NEEDS ONLY TO CONTINUE...

TO BE.

MAYBE...

AND MAYBE FOR SOME SOULS,

IT'S NOT ENOUGH JUST BEING.

IT'S THE DOING THAT MAKES US WHAT WE ARE.

IF THESE SOULS WERE VALUABLE,

IT'S BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY DID OR THE WAY

THEY SAW THE WORLD.

WHAT YOU DESCRIBE IS AN EXISTENCE

WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY CHANGE,

UNABLE TO TOUCH THE WORLD OR AFFECT IT,

UNABLE TO EXPRESS

THE SLIGHTEST CREATIVE IMPULSE,

UNABLE TO TOUCH OR BE TOUCHED IN RETURN.

MR. GARIBALDI IS WRONG, AND THERE IS A HEAVEN.

YOU'RE COMMITTING A CRIME BEYOND DESCRIPTION

BY TAKING THESE SOULS

INSTEAD OF ALLOWING THEM TO MOVE ON.

BUT IF HE AND WE ARE CORRECT AND THERE IS NOTHING BEYOND,

WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO BE CONTINUED?

NO.

NO, NOT LIKE THAT.

NOT--

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?

[BEEP BEEP]

LOCHLEY TO C&C.

[FEEDBACK]

LOCHLEY TO C&C!

THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

THE LINKS HAVE THEIR OWN INDEPENDENT COM SYSTEM.

[LOUD RUMBLING]

GET BEHIND ME, NOW!

WHAT IS IT?

RAGE...UNLEASHED.

[RUMBLING STOPS]

I'M THE ONE IT WANTS.

GO! GET OUT QUICKLY WHILE YOU STILL CAN! RUN!

WE CAN BOTH GET OUT! WE CAN--

GET DOWN!

AAH!

NO!

NO.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[NO AUDIO]

[HEART BEATING]

[MONITOR BEEPING ERRATICALLY]

[ONE LONG BEEP]

Franklin: BEAUTIFUL, ISN'T IT?

IT'S EXACTLY AS I REMEMBER IT.

THE REALITY NOW IS QUITE DIFFERENT,

I IMAGINE--

THE TOWERS LONG SINCE GONE TO DUST,

THE CITIES FALLEN, DESTROYED.

BUT HERE, IN OUR THOUGHTS, IT REMAINS.

BECAUSE WE REMEMBER IT, IT IS.

STEPHEN?

NO.

IN HERE...

IN THIS THING, THERE IS ONLY PERCEPTION

AND MEMORY.

THE MIND REJECTS THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF IT,

THE HORROR OF IT,

SO WE SEE WHAT WE WANT TO SEE.

WE SEE THE FAMILIAR.

YOU FELT A NEED FOR A DOCTOR AND A FRIEND,

SO TO YOU, I LOOK LIKE THIS.

TO ME, YOU LOOK LIKE MY WIFE, SHANALLA,

WHO DIED TWO SEASONS BEFORE...

BEFORE THE MADNESS CAME.

I SUPPOSE IN THE LONG RUN,

SHE IS LUCKY.

I DO NOT THINK THAT

SHE COULD HAVE ENDURED THIS.

W-WHAT HAPPENED?

I WAS--

YOU WERE CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A POWER STRUGGLE,

LITERALLY AS WELL AS FIGURATIVELY.

THE MAD ONES SAW AN OPPORTUNITY

TO TAKE THEIR REVENGE ON ONE OF OUR CAPTORS.

NOW, WE TRIED TO INTERFERE, BUT THEY GOT AHEAD OF US.

WHEN YOU JUMPED IN FRONT OF THE OTHER,

WE WERE ABLE TO ADJUST THE POWER

IN THE NANOSECONDS BETWEEN THE TIME IT LEFT THE WALL

AND STRUCK YOU-- JUST ENOUGH TIME

TO STOP YOUR HEART FOR A SECOND SO THAT WE COULD TALK.

THIS FEELS A LOT LONGER THAN JUST A SECOND.

IN HERE, TIME HAS NO MEANING.

OUT THERE, IT CAN ONLY BE FOR A MOMENT

BECAUSE IF YOUR BODY DIES OUT THERE WHILE YOU ARE IN HERE,

YOUR SOUL WILL BE TRAPPED IN HERE WITH US FOREVER.

Y-YOU SAID THAT THE MAD ONES...

YES.

THE RESULT OF 10,000 YEARS OF CAPTIVITY. OVER THERE.

THAT IS WHERE THEY STAY.

[VOICES WHISPERING]

MORE GO THERE EVERY YEAR.

IN TIME, THAT WILL BE ALL THERE IS,

AND WE WILL ALL BE LOST.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND. IF YOU HAVE

THIS MUCH CONTROL OVER THE OUTSIDE,

WHY NOT JUST HAVE BRYSON OR SOMEONE ELSE

DESTROY THE GLOBE THAT KEEPS YOU PRISONER?

IT SEEMS EVEN DEATH

WOULD HAVE TO BE BETTER THAN THIS.

THAT IS WHAT THE MAD ONES SAY.

THAT IS WHY WE HAVE TO STOP THEM.

THEY WILL DESTROY THEMSELVES, YOU,

AND ANYONE WHO GETS IN THEIR WAY

TO TAKE THEIR REVENGE ON WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO US.

I WAS TOLD YOUR PEOPLE WERE DYING ANYWAY.

NO.

NO, WE WEREN'T.

THAT IS THE POINT. THEY MADE A MISTAKE.

[BEEPING]

LOOK, WE DO NOT HAVE MUCH TIME.

YOU HAVE TO MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND

THAT WE WERE NOT DYING.

[BEEPING]

YOU HAVE TO TELL THEM.

TELL THEM THEY MADE A MISTAKE.

WE WERE NOT DYING!

WE WERE EVOLVING!

WE WERE EVOLVING!

[LINK BEEPS]

YEAH.

LIEUTENANT, THIS IS C&C.

YOU BETTER GET UP HERE.

I'M EN ROUTE TO THE CAPTAIN.

WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM.

C&C, I'M ALMOST THERE.

HOW FAR ARE THEY FROM THE STATION?

THEY'VE TAKEN UP FIRING POSITIONS ALL AROUND US.

OK. ACTIVATE DEFENSE GRID,

LAUNCH ALL STARFURIES,

AND IF THEY MOVE, SHOOT 'EM.

IF THEY DON'T MOVE, SHOOT TWICE.

THEY'RE PROBABLY HIDING SOMETHING.

HELLO.

I CAME TO SEE HOW YOU WERE DOING

AND TO THANK YOU.

NO ONE HAS EVER DONE FOR ONE OF US

WHAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME.

WE ARE UNIVERSALLY FEARED AND HATED.

FAILING TO UNDERSTAND

THE NOBILITY OF OUR MISSION,

WE ASSUME EVERYONE

WOULD RATHER SEE US DEAD.

BUT YOU HAVE CHANGED ALL THAT NOW,

AT LEAST FOR ME.

AND I WANT TO THANK YOU...

VERY, VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU.

SO, WHAT HAPPENS TO SOUL HUNTERS WHEN THEY DIE?

DO YOU SAVE YOUR OWN SOULS AS WELL?

NO.

WE ARE WORTHY ONLY TO CARRY ON THE MISSION.

IMMORTALITY IS DENIED US.

I CAME ALSO TO TELL YOU

THAT OTHERS FROM MY ORDER HAVE ARRIVED,

AND THEY ARE IMPATIENT OF MY PROGRESS HERE--

OR PERHAPS I SHOULD SAY

LACK OF PROGRESS.

THEY SAY THAT IF THE SOUL VESSEL

IS NOT FOUND AND RETURNED SOON,

THEY WILL COME ABOARD

AND ATTEND TO IT THEMSELVES.

WE WON'T LET THEM IN.

EASY.

MAY I?

THANK YOU.

SINCE WE ARE RARELY INVITED OR WELCOME

IN THOSE PLACES THAT WE MUST GO IN ORDER

TO PERFORM OUR WORK, WE HAVE PERFECTED

OUR OWN MEANS OF ENTRY.

ALL OF OUR SHIPS ARE MADE

TO ATTACH THEMSELVES TO ANY OTHER SHIP

AND BURN THROUGH. WHEN OUR ORDER

IS UNITED AND DETERMINED,

THERE IS NO ONE THAT CAN STOP US.

ONLY THE MINBARI SUCCEEDED

WHEN WE CAME FOR THEIR LEADER DUKHAT.

WELL, YOU HAVE TO GET US MORE TIME.

I WILL SPEAK ON YOUR BEHALF,

NOT TO WORRY. BUT I WARN YOU,

THEY ARE FAR LESS PATIENT

OF THE IMPERFECTIONS

OF OTHER RACES THAN I.

OUR ORDER IS DISCIPLINED AND DIRECTED.

WE DO NOT MAKE MISTAKES.

YES, YOU DO.

WHAT?

YOU SHOULDN'T MOVE.

I'VE SEEN RALGA...

THE PLANET THAT THE SOULS IN THE GLOBE CAME FROM.

FOR JUST A MOMENT, I WAS...

DEAD ON THE OPERATING TABLE.

THAT'S WHEN IT HAPPENED.

I WAS INSIDE IT.

THEY PULLED ME IN.

NO, NO, NO. THIS CANNOT BE.

YOU HAD A DREAM, PERHAPS, OR AN ILLUSION.

IT'S A RINGED PLANET WITH A YELLOW SKY

AND AT LEAST TWO MOONS.

THEIR MAJOR CITIES WERE ALONG THE SHORE.

I'M RIGHT, AREN'T I?

YES, BUT THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE.

EVEN WITH A CONDUIT TO THE OUTSIDE,

THEY CANNOT BE THIS STRONG THIS SOON.

IN TIME, PERHAPS, BUT NOT NOW. NOT YET.

EXACTLY.

LOOK AT WHAT THEY'VE BEEN DOING.

LOOK AT THE SHEER POWER THEY'VE BEEN DEMONSTRATING

FROM THE START.

THESE AREN'T YOUR ORDINARY SOULS

THAT YOU'RE USED TO DEALING WITH.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

WE KNOW FROM THE VORLONS AND OTHERS

THAT...WHEN A RACE EVOLVES BEYOND A CERTAIN POINT,

THEY NO LONGER NEED A PHYSICAL BODY.

THEY EVOLVE PAST THAT POINT

AND BECOME BEINGS OF PURE ENERGY.

YOUR PEOPLE WERE DRAWN TO RALGA

BECAUSE YOU FELT THE IMMINENT PASSING

OF THEIR PHYSICAL BODIES.

BUT THEY WEREN'T DYING. THEY WEREN'T ABOUT TO DIE.

THEY WERE ABOUT TO LEAVE BEHIND THEIR PHYSICAL BODIES

AND EVOLVE TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

NO!

IT SHOULD'VE BEEN THEIR GREATEST MOMENT,

THE PINNACLE IN THE EVOLUTION OF ANY RACE.

AND JUST AS IT HAPPENED,

JUST AS THEY BECAME TRANSCENDENT,

YOU TOOK THEM. YOU TOOK THEM,

AND YOU STUCK THEM INSIDE A PIECE OF GLASS

FOR 10,000 YEARS.

YOU MADE A MISTAKE.

THOSE ARE LIVING SOULS IN THERE,

CUT OFF IN THEIR PRIME,

TRAPPED WHEN THEY SHOULD'VE BEEN EXPLORING THE UNIVERSE.

HALF OF THEM HAVE GONE MAD,

AND THE ONES WHO'VE HELD ON CAN'T CONTROL THEM ANYMORE.

IS IT POSSIBLE?

WE ASSUMED...

WE NEVER THOUGHT TO ASK OR INVESTIGATE.

IS THIS THE PRICE OF OUR ARROGANCE?

MAYBE WE CAN'T CHANGE WHAT'S BEEN DONE,

BUT WE CAN TRY TO FIX WHAT WE CAN NOW.

WHAT MUST I DO?

TALK TO YOUR PEOPLE. BUY ME SOME TIME.

AND FOR GOD'S SAKE,

KEEP THEM AWAY FROM THIS STATION.

WE'VE GOT HALF A BILLION SOULS

CRYING OUT FOR REVENGE SOMEPLACE IN HERE.

THE LAST THING WE NEED

IS TO SHOW THEM SOME MORE TARGETS.

I WILL DO THIS.

LOCHLEY TO C&C.

Lieutenant: ON-LINE.

CAPTAIN, YOU SHOULDN'T BE UP.

YEAH, I KNOW. WHERE'S ZACK?

THEY'VE FOCUSED THEIR INVESTIGATION

IN BROWN SECTOR, LEVEL 11.

[LIFT BEEPS]

Computer: DESTINATION?

BROWN 11.

SO, WHAT'S THE LOCATION OF THE SOUL HUNTER SHIPS?

THEY'RE HOLDING POSITION BUT REFUSING

TO BACK AWAY FROM THE STATION.

GREAT. ANYTHING ELSE?

NEGATIVE. GETTING SOME ATYPICAL READINGS

FROM THE REACTOR, BUT THAT'S ALL.

ALL RIGHT. KEEP ME INFORMED.

[LINK BEEPS]

ALL RIGHT. LET'S SPREAD OUT.

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN.

THIS HAS TO BE THE RIGHT PLACE.

I'M TELLING YOU, MICHAEL,

THIS IS A DEAD END. WE HAVE TO MOVE ON.

NO. NO, THIS HAS TO BE THE SPOT.

THIS IS WHERE MOST OF THE WEIRD REPORTS

ARE COMING FROM.

Man: OVER HERE.

CHIEF, OVER HERE!

HE'S DEAD.

Garibaldi: NO SIGN OF INJURIES. NO WOUNDS.

LOOK AT HIS FACE.

HE LOOKS LIKE HE'S BEEN SCARED TO DEATH.

YOU! HEY! I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.

ZACK, I THOUGHT YOU HAD THIS WHOLE AREA CLEARED OUT.

I DID. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WHAT, YOU DON'T THINK I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING?

YOU CORDON OFF THE AREA, YOU SCARE AWAY MY CUSTOMERS,

AND NOW YOU'RE INTERFERING WITH MY PROGRAMS.

ZACK, DO YOU KNOW THIS GUY?

YEAH. HE RUNS A HOLOBROTHEL

DOWN THE WAY A BIT.

A HOLOBROTHEL?

YOU KNOW THERE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HOLOBROTHELS

ON THE STATION.

YEAH, I KNOW, I KNOW, BUT--

Jacob: HEY, HEY! EXCUSE ME.

I'M TALKING HERE.

I'VE ALREADY NOTIFIED MY ATTORNEY,

AND IF YOU THINK THESE SCARE TACTICS CAN GET RID--

IS HE DEAD?

SERIOUSLY DEAD.

WHAT HAPPENED?

SCARE TACTICS.

YOU MEAN THIS ISN'T A ROUTINE

JUST TO GET RID OF US?

WHAT ISN'T A ROUTINE?

THAT'S THE HOLOBROTHEL?

YEAH. IT MAKES SENSE.

LOCK ALL THOSE MINDS UP IN A JAR

FOR 10,000 YEARS, THE FIRST THING

THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO DO

IS FIND SOME WAY TO GET INTO A BODY,

REAL OR PROJECTED.

THEY'VE GOT ACCESS TO ALL MY FILES,

EVEN MY PRIVATE ONES. YOU'VE GOT TO STOP THEM.

THEY'RE MY PERSONAL FILES.

WHO CARES? WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL ABOUT--

Zack: THE CAPTAIN?

YOU USED THE CAPTAIN'S IMAGE SO GUYS COULD--

SHE'S A PUBLIC FIGURE.

YOU KNOW, PUBLIC DOMAIN. FREE SPEECH.

IT'S--IT'S A SATIRE.

SATIRE?!

I'M NOT SAYING ANYTHING ELSE WITHOUT A LAWYER PRESENT.

YOU SLEAZEBUCKET PIECE OF--

HEY!

WHAT?

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO, BLIND MYSELF HERE?

ALL RIGHT, FINE. I'M AS OFFENDED AS YOU ARE.

BUT I CAN SEE WHY

A LOT OF GUYS WOULD RENT THIS PARTICULAR IMAGE.

ACTUALLY, IT WAS MAINLY WOMEN.

ALL RIGHT, GENTLEMEN. WHAT ARE WE--

TOUCH ME AND I'LL SUE.

GET HIM OUT OF HERE.

Guard: COME ON, YOU PERV.

Zack: I THOUGHT YOU SAID THE HOLOGRAPHIC IMAGES

COULDN'T GO OUTSIDE THE BROTHEL.

THEY CAN'T NORMALLY. THEY MUST BE PUMPING

A HELL OF A LOT OF POWER INTO THAT THING.

WE--

WE'VE GOT MOVEMENT.

IS THERE ANOTHER WAY INTO THAT CORRIDOR?

Zack: YEAH. THIS WAY.

Garibaldi: OH, GIVE ME A BREAK.

Lochley's voice: FOR 10,000 YEARS,

WE HAVE BEEN PRISONERS.

FOR 10,000 YEARS, WE HAVE HAD ONE NEED,

ONE AMBITION, ONE DREAM--

TO STRIKE BACK AT THOSE WHO IMPRISONED US.

THOUGH WE WILL ENTER THE GREAT DARK WITH THEM,

THE SACRIFICE IS A WORTHY ONE.

TO END OUR SUFFERING AND OUR PAIN...

TO END IT ALL.

WE ARE ON THE PATH.

NOW ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS WAIT HERE

AND LET OUR VENGEANCE COME TO US.

WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO--

DID YOU NOTICE?

THE LIGHTS DIMMED FOR A SECOND,

BUT THOSE FIGURES DOWN THERE

DIDN'T EVEN FLICKER.

YEAH. I FIGURED

IT WAS THE EXCESS DRAIN OF THE HOLOGRAMS.

WELL, YEAH, SO DID I,

BUT IF THEY'RE ON THE SAME CIRCUIT,

IF THEY'RE BOTH

POWERED BY THE SAME SOURCE,

THEY BOTH SHOULD'VE DIMMED FOR A SECOND.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

YOU'RE RIGHT. THE ONLY WAY THE LIGHTS COULD HAVE DIMMED

AND NOT THE HOLOGRAMS

IS IF THEY'RE BEING CONTROLLED INDEPENDENTLY.

OH, HELL.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

TO CHECK A THEORY.

STAY THERE IN CASE I'M WRONG.

I WAS RIGHT.

DAMN IT. I WAS RIGHT.

EXCUSE ME.

WHAT IS IT? WHAT WERE YOU RIGHT ABOUT?

I WAS RIGHT THERE, AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN REACT.

THEY'RE MEANT TO DISTRACT US.

THEY PUT THE HOLOGRAMS THERE AND LEFT.

THERE'S NOTHING INSIDE THEM ANYMORE.

THEN WHERE'D THEY GO?

NOT YET. NOT TILL I GET RID OF THEIR

EYES AND EARS. GOT IT.

HOW FAR ARE WE FROM THE HULL?

ABOUT 10, 12 LEVELS.

GOOD. WAIT HERE.

WAS THAT A THERMAL GRENADE?

LOOKED LIKE IT.

WHERE IS SHE-- WHERE IS SHE GOING?

[BEEP]

NO!

SORRY. HAD TO DO IT.

I DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE IT ANY EASIER FOR THEM TO WATCH US,

FIND OUT THAT WE KNOW WHAT THEY'RE UP TO.

GREAT. MAYBE YOU CAN FILL ME IN.

IF THEY'VE GOT CONTROL OF THE POWER SUPPLY,

THAT MEANS THEY ALSO HAVE CONTROL

OF THE ENHANCED FUSION REACTOR.

WE GOT A WHOLE LOT OF SOUL HUNTER SHIPS OUTSIDE,

AND INSIDE, A GROUP THAT DOESN'T MIND DYING

TO STRIKE BACK AT THEM.

SO YOU BLOW UP THE STATION,

AND YOU TAKE OUT THE SOUL HUNTERS.

Lochley: EXACTLY.

THEY'RE GOING TO BLOW THE REACTOR.

Garibaldi: WE THINK WE KNOW WHERE THE CONTROL SYSTEM

FOR THE REACTOR'S BEEN HACKED--GREY 4.

GOOD. LOCHLEY TO C&C.

HOW MUCH LONGER

TILL THE REACTOR GOES CRITICAL?

Lieutenant: ESTIMATE 15 MINUTES.

KEEP ME INFORMED IF THAT CHANGES,

AND KEEP TRYING TO BYPASS THE CONTROL SYSTEM.

MAYBE WE CAN CUT THEM OFF.

WILL DO.

I'LL GO THE OTHER WAY,

HOOK UP WITH THE ASSAULT TEAM, AND MEET YOU THERE. LET'S GO.

Computer: DESTINATION?

GREY 4.

THAT WAS GOOD THINKING BACK THERE.

HOW'D YOU FIGURE OUT

THAT LITTLE GATHERING WAS JUST A DISTRACTION?

IT WAS OBVIOUS.

I MEAN, IF ALL THEY WANTED WAS A SPOKESPERSON,

THEY COULD HAVE PICKED ANY IMAGE

FROM THE HOLOBROTHEL. BUT THEY CHOSE THE ONE

THEY KNEW WOULD DRAW MY ATTENTION.

WHY ELSE WOULD THEY CHOOSE MY IMAGE?

I HEAR IT'S VERY POPULAR.

IS IT?

SO I'M TOLD.

THERE YOU ARE.

WERE YOU ABLE TO GET THROUGH

TO YOUR OTHER SHIPS?

YES, I WAS,

BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THEY REFUSED TO BELIEVE ME.

THEY SAID THAT IF SUCH A THING WERE TRUE,

THEY WOULD HAVE DISCOVERED IT THEMSELVES

AFTER A DETAILED ANALYSIS.

WELL, DID THEY?

NO SUCH ANALYSIS WAS EVER DONE

BECAUSE THEY DO NOT BELIEVE

THAT THERE WAS ANY REASON FOR IT.

THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN

THAT WE HAVE ALWAYS ACTED PROPERLY.

HENCE, NO INVESTIGATION WAS EVER NECESSARY.

FAITH IS GOOD, BUT SOMETIMES, FAITH IS BLIND.

WELL, I DON'T GET IT.

YOU'RE HERE NOW. YOU'VE SEEN IT.

I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DON'T BELIEVE US,

BUT WHY DON'T THEY BELIEVE YOU?

YOU'RE ONE OF THEIR OWN KIND.

BUT THEY SUSPECT THAT THIS

IS PART OF AN ELABORATE SCHEME ON YOUR PART

TO PREVENT US FROM TAKING BACK THE VESSEL OF SOULS

SO THAT YOU CAN KEEP IT FOR YOURSELVES.

FORGIVE ME, FRIENDS,

BUT IN MY ORDER, I AM CONSIDERED QUITE YOUNG--

ONLY 4,000 YEARS OLD--

AND AS SUCH, I AM ALSO CONSIDERED QUITE NAIVE.

I AM OBLIGED TO TELL YOU THAT IF THE VESSEL OF SOULS

IS NOT RETURNED TO OUR ORDER WITHIN 20 OF YOUR TIME MINUTES,

THEY WILL ATTACK.

GREAT.

BY THEN, WE'LL ALL BE 5 MINUTES DEAD ANYWAY,

SO BY ALL MEANS, LET THEM COME.

TEAM 4 TO CHIEF.

WE'RE MOVING UP FOR A CLEANER ANGLE.

ALL RIGHT.

[LINK BEEPS]

LOCHLEY. GO.

WE'RE IN POSITION. GOOD TO GO.

Lochley: ALL RIGHT. STAND BY.

LISTEN, CAPTAIN, BEFORE YOU OPEN FIRE,

LET ME TRY AND TALK TO HIM. THEY'RE ONLY ABLE TO DO THIS

BECAUSE THEY GOT BRYSON AS A CONDUIT TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD.

IF I CAN GET THROUGH TO HIM,

IF I CAN APPEAL TO HIS HUMANITY,

MAYBE WE CAN SHUT THEM DOWN THAT WAY.

LOOK, IT'S WORTH A SHOT.

THE ONLY OTHER CHOICE IS TO KILL HIM

AND MAYBE A BILLION SOULS INSIDE THAT THING.

I WOULDN'T WANT THAT ON MY CONSCIENCE.

ALL RIGHT. TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT.

BRYSON.

BRYSON.

HEY, IT'S ME.

REMEMBER ME?

MICHAEL GARIBALDI, YOUR BOSS?

I GOT TO TELL YOU...

YOU'RE WAY OUTSIDE THE KIND OF BEHAVIOR

THAT WE ALLOW IN THE EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK.

ALL RIGHT. I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THIS.

YOU DEDICATED YOUR LIFE TO PRESERVING, TO FINDING

A MEANS OF IMMORTALITY.

YOU CAN'T LET WHATEVER'S INSIDE THAT THING

KILL A QUARTER MILLION PEOPLE HERE ON THIS STATION--

AND THEMSELVES, FOR THAT MATTER.

I KNOW YOU'RE INSIDE THERE, BRYSON.

I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN.

I KNOW YOU CAN FIGHT THEM.

ON THE OTHER HAND...

FIRE!

LOCHLEY TO ZACK.

BREAK OFF. SAVE YOUR CHARGES.

WILL DO. ALL RIGHT.

HOLD YOUR FIRE! HOLD YOUR FIRE.

Lochley: WE'VE ONLY GOT A FEW MINUTES LEFT.

Guard: GARIBALDI, WE'VE GOT MOVEMENT OVER HERE!

OH, WHAT NOW?

THIS IS ALL OUR FAULT.

OUR ARROGANCE BLINDED US TO OUR MISTAKES.

WE THOUGHT WE WERE INCAPABLE OF ANY ERROR.

WE WERE VERY WRONG. YOU SHOWED ME THAT.

WE NEVER SHOULD HAVE STORED THE VESSELS IN DARK PLACES

WHERE THEY WOULD EVENTUALLY GO MAD,

AS THESE POOR SOULS HAVE GONE MAD.

WE NEVER SHOULD HAVE CLAIMED THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE.

BUT WE ACTUALLY THOUGHT WE WERE DOING THEM

A SERVICE, AN HONOR. CAN YOU IMAGINE?

IN FACT, WE WERE MONSTERS...

A TERROR FAR WORSE THAN DEATH.

I WISH THE OTHERS COULD TALK TO YOU THE WAY I HAVE.

IN TIME...THEY WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD AND BELIEVED.

THANKS, BUT TIME IS SOMETHING WE'RE

JUST ABOUT OUT OF.

WAIT. THERE MAY STILL BE A WAY TO BRIDGE THE TWO SIDES.

LISTEN...THEY WERE POWERFUL ENOUGH TO DRAW YOU

INTO THEIR VESSEL,

WHICH PROVES BEYOND A DOUBT THAT THEY ARE HIGHLY ADVANCED.

WELL, YES, BUT I DOUBT

THE OTHER SOUL HUNTERS WILL TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.

I KNOW.

Soul Hunter: PLEASE, LISTEN TO ME.

WHAT WE DID TO YOU WAS WRONG.

I SEE THAT NOW...

AND THERE MAY BE A WAY TO CORRECT OUR MISTAKE.

BUT THIS DESTRUCTION IS NOT IT.

WE CAN RETURN YOU TO OUR WORLD

AND FIND A WAY TO RELEASE YOU FROM YOUR BONDAGE...

AT FIRST FOR BRIEF TIMES, OF COURSE,

AS YOU HAVE ACHIEVED HERE THROUGH THE HOLOGRAMS.

AND THEN LATER, WE CAN INVITE OTHERS TO COME

AND ALLOW YOU TO EXPRESS YOURSELVES THROUGH THEM,

ALLOW YOU TO... SEE AN OPEN SKY AGAIN,

ALLOW YOU TO FEEL THE GROUND UNDER YOUR FEET AGAIN...

UNTIL THAT DAY WHEN WE WILL RELEASE YOU PERMANENTLY.

I KNOW THAT MY ORDER WILL SET THIS MISTAKE RIGHT

ONCE THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THEY HAVE MADE A MISTAKE,

ONCE WE MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND.

AND UNTIL THAT TIME,

I OFFER...MYSELF FREELY,

AS A SYMBOL OF OUR SINCERITY.

YOU HAVE THE POWER TO TAKE ME INSIDE AND PROVE TO ALL

THAT YOU ARE HIGHLY DEVELOPED LIVING SOULS

WHO WERE CUT OFF

AT THE MOMENT OF YOUR SUPREME EVOLUTION.

AND ONCE MY SOUL JOINS YOURS,

YOU WILL KNOW INSTANTLY THAT I AM TELLING THE TRUTH,

AND YOU WILL HAVE GOOD REASON TO TRUST US.

I BEG YOU...

GIVE US THIS OPPORTUNITY TO CORRECT OUR MISTAKE.

LET MY SOUL BE A BRIDGE BETWEEN US

UNTIL THAT DAY WHEN YOU SHALL BE RELEASED.

LET THE DEATH OF THIS BODY...

BE YOUR ONLY REMAINING VENGEANCE,

AND LET MY SOUL BE A DOORWAY OF HOPE.

YOU TOOK HER.

NOW TAKE ME.

NO. WAIT.

WAIT! LET'S SEE

IF THEY BELIEVED HIM.

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

IF THEY DIDN'T, WE'RE DEAD IN TWO MINUTES, ANYWAY.

Zack: LET'S MOVE IN!

Computer: STAND DOWN FROM RED ALERT.

REACTOR LEVELS HAVE RETURNED TO NORMAL.

HE'S STILL ALIVE.

SECURITY TO MEDLAB.

WE NEED A TRAUMA TEAM IN GREY 4, STAT.

Woman: ON THEIR WAY, CHIEF.

I NEVER KNEW THE NAME

OF THE OTHER ONE FROM YOUR ORDER WHO CAME HERE.

HE NEVER TOLD ME.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF YOU HAVE NAMES.

ALL I KNOW IS THAT HE GAVE HIS PROMISE AND HIS LIFE

TO PROTECT YOU AND THIS PLACE...

AND THE BILLION MINDS TRAPPED INSIDE THIS THING.

MAKE SURE THAT THE PROMISE HE MADE ON YOUR BEHALF IS KEPT,

OR I PROMISE YOU, THE HUNTERS WILL BECOME THE HUNTED.

I'LL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES

TO MAKE SURE THAT HIS SACRIFICE WAS NOT IN VAIN.

THE MIND SEES WHAT IT NEEDS TO SEE.

THE SOUL SEES WHAT THE SOUL SEES.

OFF.

WELL, AT LEAST THAT'S OVER.

I HOPE THEY CAN FIND A SOLUTION.

I THINK THEY'LL GET THERE, EVENTUALLY,

BUT IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LONG TIME.

THEY'VE WAITED 10,000 YEARS.

WHAT'S ANOTHER FEW HUNDRED?

LIEUTENANT CORWIN TELLS ME

YOU'LL BE LEAVING IN A SHORT TIME.

YEAH. I'VE GOT TO GET BACK TO MARS.

WE'VE STILL GOT A TON OF THESE

LEFTOVER BLACK PROJECTS TO INVESTIGATE.

WHAT ABOUT BRYSON?

HE'S STILL DISORIENTED.

NOT THAT HE WAS EVER THAT STABLE

TO BEGIN WITH, BUT THEY THINK

HE'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT. YOU KNOW,

THE AMAZING THING IS, AFTER ALL THIS,

HE STILL WANTS TO GO BACK OUT THERE

AND SEARCH FOR THE SECRET OF LIFE ETERNAL,

WITH OR WITHOUT FINANCING.

I CAN THINK OF LESS WORTHY GOALS.

I JUST HOPE HE COMES UP

WITH SOMETHING QUIETER NEXT TIME.

WELL, HAVE A GOOD TRIP BACK, MICHAEL.

I GUESS I WILL SEE YOU WHEN I SEE YOU.

WHICH WILL BE IN ABOUT A MONTH.

I'VE GOT SOME BUSINESS IN THE AREA,

SO I FIGURED I'D JUST SWING BY AND TAKE

A FEW DAYS OFF, CHECK OUT THE OLD DIGS.

YEAH. IT'LL BE GREAT JUST TO HANG OUT AGAIN.

IT'LL BE LIKE THE OLD DAYS.

I'LL SEE YA.

SHOOT ME. SHOOT ME NOW.

[MAN WHISTLING]

CAPTAIN LOCHLEY?

AH, MR. RILEY. SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.

I WAS BEGINNING TO MISS OUR LITTLE TALKS.

OH, GOSH. ME, TOO.

HOWEVER, MY CLIENT HAS INFORMED ME THAT,

IN LIGHT OF RECENT EVENTS

INVOLVING YOUR WANTON ACTS OF DESTRUCTION,

WE ARE NOW PREPARED TO BRING NOT ONLY CIVIL,

BUT ALSO CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST YOU.

FOR WHAT?

FOR WH...HA HA! YOU BLEW UP THE MAN'S BUSINESS.

OH, THAT.

WELL, MR. RILEY, IN THAT CASE,

I SUGGEST YOU REVISIT HIS LEASE.

YOU DID READ IT, DIDN'T YOU?

OF COURSE.

WELL, THEN YOU MUST HAVE MISSED

SECTION 7, CLAUSE 4,

WHICH STATES QUITE CLEARLY

THAT BABYLON 5 AND MYSELF

ARE NOT LIABLE FOR DAMAGES RESULTING

FROM MILITARY ACTION.

OH, THAT WAS COMPLETELY UNJUSTIFIED!

I HAVE A COUPLE OF DOZEN SECURITY PERSONNEL

ENGAGED IN COMBAT

WHO WOULD DISAGREE WITH YOU.

IN FACT...

ALREADY HAVE.

WHAT'S THIS?

DEPOSITIONS BY ALL THOSE INVOLVED,

SUPPORTING MY USE OF FORCE

AND THE NATURE OF THE COMBAT.

FURTHER, SINCE ALL PRIOR CHARGES

WERE CENTERED AROUND THE CONDITION OF

THE ENTERTAINMENT CENTER AND THE ABILITY

OF SAID BUSINESS TO OPERATE FREELY,

THE UNFORTUNATE DESTRUCTION

OF YOUR CLIENT'S OFFICE

MAKES THIS DISCUSSION RATHER MOOT.

OH, JUST A MINUTE.

NOW, I'M SURE YOU COULD CHOOSE TO CONTEST THIS,

BUT THEN WE'D GET INTO THE ILLEGAL USE

OF MY IMAGE BY YOUR CLIENT'S HOLOBROTHEL,

WHICH WOULD REQUIRE A COUNTERSUIT,

AND I DOUBT VERY MUCH

YOU'D WIN THAT ONE, COUNSELOR.

CAPTAIN, DO YOU REALLY EXPECT ME TO GO BACK

TO MY CLIENT WITH NOTHING?

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

HERE.

YOU CAN HAVE THIS.

I FIND IT VERY USEFUL IN TIMES

OF GREAT STRESS. GO AHEAD.

IT WAS A GIFT TO ME FROM A FRIEND,

SO NOW I'M GIVING IT TO YOU...

WITH A FEW--AHEM-- MINOR MODIFICATIONS.

Female voice: I'M AN IDIOT.

I'M A LOSER.

NO ONE LIKES ME.

MY MOMMY DRESSES ME FUNNY.

ZACK WAS RIGHT.

THERE IS A HEAVEN.
