1
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:28,038
I believe that when we leave a place...
2
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,511
...part of it goes with us,
and part of us remains.
3
00:00:31,719 --> 00:00:35,474
Go anywhere in the station
when it is quiet and just listen.
4
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,190
After a while, you will hear the echoes
of all our conversations...
5
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,000
...every thought and word
we've exchanged.
6
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:45,198
Long after we have gone,
our voices will linger in these walls.
7
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:40,593
Get out of my head!
8
00:01:41,119 --> 00:01:43,349
No!
9
00:01:48,799 --> 00:01:53,509
Personal lag, Colonel Elizabeth Lochley,
commanding officer, Babylon 5.
10
00:01:53,679 --> 00:01:58,071
In the nine years since I took aver
day-to-day operations on BS...
11
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,629
...I've requisitioned
some pretty odd things.
12
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,112
Strange foods,
alien booze, exotic dancers...
13
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,033
...for a Centauri business meeting.
14
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,800
But this...
This is a new one even for me.
15
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,394
Begin docking procedure.
All hands, stand by.
16
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,839
Father Cassidy,
Colonel Elizabeth Lochley.
17
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,514
-Welcome to Babylon 5.
-A pleasure.
18
00:02:39,679 --> 00:02:41,590
I hope your trip in wasn't too bad.
19
00:02:41,759 --> 00:02:44,148
The only ship we could get
was a cargo transport...
20
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,516
...and they can be pretty awful.
21
00:02:46,719 --> 00:02:48,676
I've been in far worse places
than that.
22
00:02:48,839 --> 00:02:51,672
Though I must say, there was quite
a line at the customs area.
23
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,229
We're getting ready
for the big celebration party...
24
00:02:54,399 --> 00:02:56,788
...for the anniversary
of the Interstellar Alliance.
25
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,271
President Sheridan himself is coming in
from Min bar to be here for it...
26
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,877
...so things are a bit crazier than usual,
which is saying something.
27
00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:08,109
Well, please, this way.
28
00:03:12,039 --> 00:03:15,111
I hope you don't mind
that we're meeting here in my quarters.
29
00:03:15,279 --> 00:03:17,395
I felt it best to keep this away
from the crew.
30
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,836
The clergy specializes
in private conversations...
31
00:03:19,999 --> 00:03:22,309
...in small, quiet places.
32
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,599
I'm just sorry it took my superiors
so long to respond to your request.
33
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,719
I'm afraid there aren't many priests
in this sector of space...
34
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,832
...or any sector,
to tell the uncomfortable truth.
35
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,310
We're something
of a vanishing breed out here.
36
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,557
-I'm sorry.
-Don't be.
37
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,031
A decline in faith and the influence
of the Church was to be expected...
38
00:03:42,199 --> 00:03:45,749
...once humans penetrated heaven
and found there no angels...
39
00:03:45,919 --> 00:03:50,197
...no choir eternal, not even
a delinquent seraphim left behind...
40
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,556
...by the general evacuation.
41
00:03:52,719 --> 00:03:55,472
Just infinite space.
42
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,553
For 200 years,
mankind has walked among the stars...
43
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,509
...on legs of fire and steel,
daily encountering profounder wonders...
44
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,512
...than the burning bush.
45
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,753
True, but still, there are a lot
of scientists that believe in God.
46
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,234
Oh, sure.
47
00:04:10,399 --> 00:04:12,595
Physicists have tried
to soften the blow...
48
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,798
...with quantum-mechanic
consolation prizes...
49
00:04:15,959 --> 00:04:19,953
...noting mysteries yet to be resolved
in tiny subatomic particles...
50
00:04:20,119 --> 00:04:23,635
...whose actions hint at the presence
of intelligence.
51
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,236
But where,
in those infinitesimal spaces...
52
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:32,190
...can be found the God who stopped
the sun in the sky over Jericho...
53
00:04:32,359 --> 00:04:35,078
...parted the Red Sea,
birthed the universe...
54
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:41,077
...and shaped molecules of dust
until their name was man and woman?
55
00:04:41,239 --> 00:04:45,472
Once we got into space, the deck
was stacked and the clock was ticking.
56
00:04:45,639 --> 00:04:47,232
But that doesn't scare me.
57
00:04:47,399 --> 00:04:50,676
I think the Church still has
a few surprises up her sleeve.
58
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:56,312
Well, if it's surprises you're looking for,
you have come to the right place. I--
59
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,553
Before you go any further,
I have to ask, are you religious yourself?
60
00:05:04,439 --> 00:05:08,478
Yeah, sometimes
I think I'm pretty religious.
61
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:13,952
Then I realize I haven't been to church
in ages and I feel guilty, so then I go...
62
00:05:14,119 --> 00:05:17,794
...but then, am I going because
I'm faithful or because I'm guilty?
63
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,959
So you're just like
the rest of us, then.
64
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,238
Good. Go on.
65
00:05:32,879 --> 00:05:37,669
Well, it started with this smell
in Brown Sector...
66
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,316
...which isn't surprising because
there's always a smell in Brown Sector...
67
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,437
...but this one wouldn't go away.
68
00:05:43,599 --> 00:05:48,150
And the repair crews, they kept
hearing voices in the hallways...
69
00:05:48,359 --> 00:05:50,270
...even when we could determine
for sure...
70
00:05:50,439 --> 00:05:52,908
...on the monitors
that there was nobody there.
71
00:05:53,959 --> 00:05:55,836
And then...
72
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,149
Then a few days ago...
73
00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:04,153
...there's this guy
that works in security, Simon Burke.
74
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:07,914
He had come back from a vacation
on Earth a few weeks earlier...
75
00:06:08,079 --> 00:06:11,071
...seemed fine, and then...
76
00:06:12,359 --> 00:06:14,077
Suddenly, in the middle of a shift...
77
00:06:14,239 --> 00:06:17,789
...he just started screaming
and saying that he wasn't alone...
78
00:06:17,959 --> 00:06:22,078
...and that something was inside him,
and then he disappeared.
79
00:06:22,239 --> 00:06:26,676
He'd barricaded himself
inside the chapel on Blue 4.
80
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:33,830
But when we got to him,
it really wasn't him anymore.
81
00:06:35,559 --> 00:06:36,879
It was.
82
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,076
Father Cassidy...
83
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,793
...do you feel qualified
to perform an exorcism?
84
00:06:57,959 --> 00:06:59,438
Is there anything in his file...
85
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,911
...showing a history of mental instability,
psychosis, erratic behavior?
86
00:07:03,079 --> 00:07:05,912
No. No more so than anybody else
around here, myself included.
87
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,515
You understand
why I have to be sure.
88
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,193
In situations like this...
89
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,399
...a mundane answer is far more likely
than a supernatural one.
90
00:07:14,559 --> 00:07:17,915
The last recorded case of possession
was almost a hundred years ago.
91
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,354
Yeah, I know.
92
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,909
We've got a little piece
of the 14th century here...
93
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,151
...right in the middle
of all this technology.
94
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,915
-Hardly seems to fit, does it?
-No, I--
95
00:07:30,599 --> 00:07:35,753
It's cold. And dear Lord, that stench.
96
00:07:35,959 --> 00:07:37,916
Knocks you back on your heels, huh?
97
00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:42,118
Two feet that way, it's 72 degrees.
Drops another 20 right there.
98
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,872
His cell is up here.
99
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,077
Hello, Father.
100
00:08:01,239 --> 00:08:03,469
Please come in.
101
00:08:04,239 --> 00:08:06,753
I could use the company.
102
00:08:10,679 --> 00:08:14,274
-Mr. Burke?
-After a fashion.
103
00:08:17,799 --> 00:08:19,517
Are you or are you not?
104
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,678
I'm sure he's in here somewhere.
105
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,472
Why is he restrained?
106
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:29,074
For our protection, and his.
107
00:08:29,239 --> 00:08:33,028
The night we found him,
he attacked two of my security guards.
108
00:08:33,199 --> 00:08:37,397
And then last night, we came in
and we found him covered in blood.
109
00:08:37,599 --> 00:08:38,873
We checked him for wounds...
110
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:42,191
...not a cut, not so much
as a scratch anyplace on him.
111
00:08:42,359 --> 00:08:44,111
And the blood?
112
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:45,714
Well, according to the tests...
113
00:08:45,879 --> 00:08:49,668
...not a single strand of DNA
was anyplace in the blood.
114
00:08:49,839 --> 00:08:53,469
Platelets, red cells,
white cells, but no DNA.
115
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,280
You wanna explain
that one to me, Father?
116
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,114
The devil is in the details.
117
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,271
Are you saying you are the devil?
118
00:09:02,239 --> 00:09:05,391
No. Just a humble servant.
119
00:09:09,119 --> 00:09:11,315
Does the smell offend you?
120
00:09:12,319 --> 00:09:14,959
-Would you like me to change it?
-Can you?
121
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:26,914
Roses?
122
00:09:28,319 --> 00:09:31,277
-Impossible.
-Of course it's possible.
123
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,479
Are not all things in heaven and Earth
possible for those who believe?
124
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,950
But this is neither heaven nor Earth.
125
00:09:38,279 --> 00:09:43,513
Then this must be hell. So why then
are you surprised to find me here?
126
00:09:44,319 --> 00:09:46,595
If this is hell,
and you hold sway...
127
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,991
...then you shouldn't mind
telling me your name.
128
00:09:50,159 --> 00:09:51,797
Names have power.
129
00:09:51,959 --> 00:09:53,677
Yes, they do.
130
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,114
You first.
131
00:09:55,799 --> 00:09:59,838
If you are what you claim,
then you should already know my name.
132
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,877
So, what is it?
133
00:10:02,039 --> 00:10:06,954
Your name is sadness...
134
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,712
...loneliness, uselessness.
135
00:10:11,919 --> 00:10:14,274
Those are descriptions, not names.
136
00:10:14,439 --> 00:10:18,478
That's why they have power.
That's why my name has power.
137
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,673
And that name would be?
138
00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:23,637
As mode us.
139
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,513
-You're a long way from home.
-Home is where the heart is.
140
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,274
You're very clever, at least in English.
Do you know any other languages or--?
141
00:10:32,439 --> 00:10:35,875
Do not waste my time or yours,
Father Cassidy.
142
00:10:37,039 --> 00:10:39,189
We have more important matters
to discuss.
143
00:10:39,399 --> 00:10:44,428
-And those matters would be?
-My removal from this flesh.
144
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,433
Get to it or leave.
145
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,831
Let me get this straight.
You want to be exorcised?
146
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,753
Cast out, yes.
147
00:10:55,279 --> 00:10:57,714
You have the authority to bind me.
148
00:10:58,319 --> 00:11:01,675
Speak the name,
abjure and command me...
149
00:11:01,839 --> 00:11:05,275
...and I will be removed
from this body.
150
00:11:06,639 --> 00:11:09,995
Look, if you wanna leave,
then why not just leave?
151
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,879
We were bound here
among the stars long ago.
152
00:11:15,039 --> 00:11:19,954
Bound to remain,
and bound to possess.
153
00:11:20,159 --> 00:11:21,877
Bound by who?
154
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,800
Oh, we cannot speak the name.
155
00:11:27,319 --> 00:11:31,028
Are you saying that God himself
bound you to this part of space?
156
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,111
Why? Why would God do that?
157
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:38,076
It was inevitable that, in time,
man would cross the sea of stars.
158
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:44,271
Inevitable that their faith would wane
as they gloried in their accomplishments.
159
00:11:44,919 --> 00:11:47,832
And as you reshape distant planets...
160
00:11:47,999 --> 00:11:50,309
...becoming yourselves creators
of worlds...
161
00:11:50,479 --> 00:11:56,953
...whence comes the desire to crawl
on bended knees for salvation?
162
00:11:57,999 --> 00:12:00,149
Where can be heard the cry
of the terrified...
163
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,039
...and the lost
raised in the hope of heaven...
164
00:12:03,199 --> 00:12:07,193
...and the intercession
of divine providence?
165
00:12:09,560 --> 00:12:11,631
Nowhere.
166
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,118
Nowhere.
167
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:20,679
But before there can be hope,
there first must be fear.
168
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:25,835
Before man can seek salvation,
there must be the smell of damnation.
169
00:12:25,999 --> 00:12:32,792
There must be a reason
to reawaken the love of God.
170
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,913
But in the absence of humility...
171
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,870
...that reason is the fear of hell...
172
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:48,199
...the terror of we who fell
and walk among you still.
173
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:55,274
Man sought his God in the stars
and found only silence.
174
00:12:55,879 --> 00:12:59,156
But if the hand of darkness
can be found...
175
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,119
...does that not imply its opposite?
176
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:09,391
Proving the presence of hell
also proves the existence of heaven...
177
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,516
...bringing people back to God.
178
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,910
-Is that it?
-Yes.
179
00:13:15,919 --> 00:13:18,274
And for this reason...
180
00:13:18,439 --> 00:13:21,272
...the one you worship
salted us among the stars...
181
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,638
...to wait the silent centuries
for your arrival.
182
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,634
To remind you of your limitations.
183
00:13:30,799 --> 00:13:33,268
To renew the fear
you thought you left behind...
184
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,956
...when you stepped
beyond your cradle.
185
00:13:37,560 --> 00:13:42,157
To keep you from getting
too far off your leash...
186
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,279
...and forgetting your place.
187
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:51,512
Remarkable.
188
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,035
The most remarkable pathology
I've ever seen.
189
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,760
What, you don't think
he's really possessed?
190
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:02,198
Demonic possession carries with it
several very specific signatures...
191
00:14:02,359 --> 00:14:06,353
...none of which were present here.
No demonstration of special powers...
192
00:14:06,519 --> 00:14:09,875
...no ability to speak
in more than one language...
193
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,599
...no special knowledge.
194
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,837
He knew your name.
195
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,719
He could have heard it
from one of the guards.
196
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,671
-What about the smell?
-Interesting, but not conclusive.
197
00:14:20,839 --> 00:14:22,876
There's an element of suggestion...
198
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,919
...that could even be
some kind of elaborate hoax.
199
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,072
Before I could bring the Church
into this, we'd need a lot more--
200
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,232
Just a second. You hear that?
201
00:14:32,399 --> 00:14:34,993
-Hear what?
-Lochley, go.
202
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,436
Colonel, we 're getting
an unusual energy spike.
203
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:38,874
-Where is it?
-Unknown.
204
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,475
We're tracing it now, but we--
205
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,869
CandC, do you receive?
206
00:14:51,399 --> 00:14:54,755
-Blue 32.
-That's his cell.
207
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,393
You know, it's funny.
208
00:15:48,279 --> 00:15:52,273
As a member of the clergy,
you talk about miracles every day.
209
00:15:52,439 --> 00:15:54,635
Of course, that's the problem.
210
00:15:54,799 --> 00:16:00,636
Everybody talks about miracles,
but nobody does anything about them.
211
00:16:01,919 --> 00:16:05,958
Without the proof offered
by such signs and wonders...
212
00:16:06,119 --> 00:16:09,953
...as the parting of a Red Sea
or the dead raised up...
213
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,919
...after a while,
any member of the clergy...
214
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,594
...will have doubts from time to time.
215
00:16:17,079 --> 00:16:19,355
But you keep going...
216
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,790
...because that's what faith is for.
217
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:29,270
To believe in everything
that reason tells you is impossible.
218
00:16:30,159 --> 00:16:33,709
The terrible thing is, he's...
219
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,316
It's right.
220
00:16:37,879 --> 00:16:40,268
Two minutes
of what we just saw in there...
221
00:16:40,439 --> 00:16:43,079
...would be the best recruiting tool
the Church ever had.
222
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,472
I always thought the devil
was the prince of lies.
223
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:53,272
Oh, without question, but even the devil
will use the truth when it's convenient.
224
00:16:53,439 --> 00:16:57,831
The question is, if there is a lie,
then where is the lie?
225
00:16:57,999 --> 00:17:03,073
And most important of all,
why is the lie?
226
00:17:05,799 --> 00:17:07,517
I have to go back in there.
227
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:09,674
You don't have to come with me.
228
00:17:09,839 --> 00:17:12,718
In fact, for your own safety,
I'd urge against it.
229
00:17:19,039 --> 00:17:22,191
You say you were forced
to possess this man...
230
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,873
...that your kind were put here
by God himself...
231
00:17:25,039 --> 00:17:30,159
...that this is all part of his strategy
to keep mankind at his side.
232
00:17:30,999 --> 00:17:33,639
What if I say I don't believe you?
233
00:17:33,799 --> 00:17:36,268
Then cast us out.
234
00:17:36,719 --> 00:17:40,872
Those are your only choices.
Cast us out...
235
00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:44,509
...or allow us to remain in this body
and let the whole of mankind know...
236
00:17:44,679 --> 00:17:47,193
...that we are here.
237
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,433
Would you not sacrifice a single life...
238
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,798
...if it meant bringing back billions
to the Church?
239
00:17:57,199 --> 00:17:59,998
I think you're saying it's God's will
that you remain here...
240
00:18:00,159 --> 00:18:02,594
...because you want to hold on
to your foothold here.
241
00:18:02,759 --> 00:18:05,592
You could have told me
you wish to be exorcised...
242
00:18:05,759 --> 00:18:09,070
...precisely because
you do not wish to be exorcised.
243
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,318
Perhaps.
244
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,710
But if that were the case...
245
00:18:18,879 --> 00:18:21,473
...then why did you tell me anything
in the first place?
246
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,679
Because this way,
knowing what you now know...
247
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,039
...your soul is at risk...
248
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,840
...and we take pleasure
in such things.
249
00:18:31,999 --> 00:18:34,309
How is my soul at risk?
250
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:39,190
If you believe that by leaving us in this
body, it will serve your God's intent...
251
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:45,038
...then you must willingly sacrifice
the soul of this innocent man...
252
00:18:45,199 --> 00:18:49,511
...and thus lose your own soul,
comforted only in the knowledge...
253
00:18:49,679 --> 00:18:53,434
...that the result will be
a return to the Church.
254
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,673
Expel us in secret...
255
00:18:57,839 --> 00:19:01,116
...and you defeat
your God's plans...
256
00:19:01,279 --> 00:19:05,113
...and again
doom your immortal soul.
257
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:09,478
But what if I allow you to stay,
and none of this was God's plan?
258
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,278
It does not matter.
259
00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:15,910
Whether this be God's will or not,
the news of our existence...
260
00:19:16,079 --> 00:19:20,038
...the fear of us,
will lead to a Church restored.
261
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,716
To pews filled to overflowing.
262
00:19:24,879 --> 00:19:27,393
To believers by the planet-full.
263
00:19:27,799 --> 00:19:30,757
The result is the same, Father.
264
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,355
The result is the same.
265
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:38,117
But if you simply cast us out,
here and now...
266
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,315
...you will have no proof
that any of this is real.
267
00:19:42,479 --> 00:19:45,437
Nothing to show for your faith.
268
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,995
Without that,
you and your Church will continue...
269
00:19:51,159 --> 00:19:55,517
...to become more irrelevant
with every passing day.
270
00:19:56,759 --> 00:19:59,353
But if you leave us here...
271
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:05,068
...and allow the world outside
to know that we are here...
272
00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:08,955
...you and your order
will again be needed...
273
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:13,511
...necessary, important.
274
00:20:13,679 --> 00:20:18,674
You will no longer wake in the middle
of the night and wonder:
275
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,478
"Why am I here?"
276
00:20:21,799 --> 00:20:23,995
You will know...
277
00:20:24,759 --> 00:20:29,151
...because we will be here...
278
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,312
...to define you.
279
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,191
So, what are you gonna do?
280
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,353
I don't know.
281
00:20:38,519 --> 00:20:41,716
I mean, this is so far outside
my usual experience.
282
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,398
What, you're not thinking of leaving
that thing inside him, are you?
283
00:20:45,879 --> 00:20:49,998
No, no, of course not,
but there is the question of timing.
284
00:20:50,159 --> 00:20:54,357
Do I attempt this on my own
or bring in others of my order to assist?
285
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,909
-But once I do that--
-Word will get out.
286
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,640
A phalanx of priests
converging on Babylon 5?
287
00:20:59,799 --> 00:21:01,631
Oh, I should think so.
288
00:21:01,799 --> 00:21:04,837
Putting together a group of that size
and level of expertise...
289
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,479
...would require weeks.
290
00:21:06,639 --> 00:21:09,950
They'd want to study him,
examine him, during which time...
291
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,315
...even more people
would find out about this...
292
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,711
...leading to precisely
the result it described.
293
00:21:15,879 --> 00:21:17,472
And that's the larger question.
294
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:23,909
What if these creatures really
were seeded here among the stars...
295
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,199
...for some divine reason
we cannot ourselves determine?
296
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,589
But why would God do that?
297
00:21:31,759 --> 00:21:34,194
Why did God create Lucifer
and all the others...
298
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,714
...who went with him,
knowing they would fall?
299
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,834
Why allow plague, pox,
fires and earthquakes?
300
00:21:40,999 --> 00:21:44,230
Why allow possession
in the first place?
301
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:45,993
Amos 3:6:
302
00:21:46,159 --> 00:21:49,277
Shall a trumpet be blown in the city
and the people not be afraid?
303
00:21:49,439 --> 00:21:55,310
Shall there be evil in a city
and the Lord has not done it?
304
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,709
Sometimes God uses what we,
in our narrow frame of reference...
305
00:21:59,879 --> 00:22:04,715
...may think is evil,
only to achieve a greater good.
306
00:22:05,199 --> 00:22:08,954
Either we do it now or we wait.
Those are the only options.
307
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:12,476
Which of those is God's will?
I don't know.
308
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,792
If there's a plan here, I can't see it.
309
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,236
There's a piece missing.
310
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,195
Well, we're not gonna find it tonight.
We're both exhausted.
311
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:25,920
Get some sleep, Father.
We'll pick it up in the morning.
312
00:23:07,199 --> 00:23:10,874
Screw it. I can't sleep.
313
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,799
Computer, access status
of prisoner in Blue 32.
314
00:23:17,959 --> 00:23:23,830
Prisoner, Simon Burke. Maintenance.
Status, unchanged.
315
00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:28,478
Simon, you poor bastard.
316
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,237
What did you ever do to deserve this?
317
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,552
You're here at this place
for four years...
318
00:23:35,719 --> 00:23:42,318
...hard worker, mind your own business,
no trouble, then this--
319
00:23:45,479 --> 00:23:47,311
No.
320
00:23:48,159 --> 00:23:50,548
No, no, no, wait a minute.
321
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:59,196
Simon, you weren't here
the whole time.
322
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:01,871
You were--
323
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:06,034
Computer, access personnel files.
Burke, Simon.
324
00:24:06,199 --> 00:24:12,070
Subject took leave approximately
two months ago, correct?
325
00:24:12,239 --> 00:24:16,517
Confirmed. One round-trip ticket
to Earth via lo jump gate.
326
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,069
And he returned
about two weeks ago on--
327
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,029
Commercial Star liner Asimov.
Purchased one coach, seat number--
328
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,840
Not important.
Can you access the ship's logs?
329
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,957
Confirmed.
330
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,838
Search out any unusual entries
on the return flight to Babylon 5.
331
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,116
Stand by.
332
00:24:38,839 --> 00:24:42,150
A decline in faith and the influence
of the Church was to be expected...
333
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,836
...once humans penetrated heaven
and found there no angels...
334
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,550
...no chair eternal,
not even a delinquent seraphim...
335
00:24:49,719 --> 00:24:53,235
...left behind
by the general evacuation.
336
00:24:54,760 --> 00:25:00,233
No seraphim, no choir eternal.
337
00:25:02,439 --> 00:25:04,396
But none of those things either.
338
00:25:04,559 --> 00:25:07,278
Entry found. Playing.
339
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,752
It was there again today, that smell.
We just can't seem to get rid of it.
340
00:25:11,919 --> 00:25:15,469
We've checked the galley,
the recycling systems, everything.
341
00:25:15,639 --> 00:25:17,755
Just can't figure out
where it's coming from...
342
00:25:17,919 --> 00:25:20,354
...and it's cold all the time.
343
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,352
We've considered diverting
for repairs...
344
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,478
...but there's nothing to indicate
trouble with navigation...
345
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,311
...so we'll stay on course
for Babylon 5--
346
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,153
End record.
347
00:25:32,599 --> 00:25:34,397
That's it.
348
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:40,190
That son of a bitch.
That's the missing piece.
349
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,278
Are you sure you know
what you're doing?
350
00:25:43,439 --> 00:25:45,157
No, but it's never
stopped me before.
351
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,119
You sure if we sedate the body,
that thing will go under too?
352
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,511
-That's what the literature says, but--
-Did you give him the sedative?
353
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,958
Doc and I loaded him up with tranquilizers
to knock out five guys, but he's strong.
354
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,315
You got 10 minutes
before he's out like a light.
355
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,073
Good.
356
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,391
On the way here,
Father Cassidy told me...
357
00:26:08,559 --> 00:26:11,790
...that he's decided to go ahead
and perform the exorcism now...
358
00:26:11,959 --> 00:26:15,395
...even if it means putting
his soul at risk.
359
00:26:15,879 --> 00:26:18,109
That would amuse you, wouldn't it?
360
00:26:18,279 --> 00:26:21,556
Making him live with that fear?
361
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,109
Too bad it's not gonna happen.
362
00:26:25,879 --> 00:26:29,110
You almost had us convinced
that we only had two choices.
363
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,996
Perform the exorcism
here and now or wait.
364
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,879
But there's a third option...
365
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,072
...sending you somewhere else.
366
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:44,839
After all, you didn't possess Simon
when he was here, did you?
367
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,119
No, no, you moved in
while he was back on Earth.
368
00:26:51,679 --> 00:26:53,750
A fantasy.
369
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,154
I saw the ship's records.
You were there.
370
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,233
Your presence was felt by her crew.
371
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,716
But you kept a low profile. Why?
372
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,234
And how could you
possess him on Earth...
373
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:14,554
...if you were bound out here
among the stars waiting for us?
374
00:27:17,719 --> 00:27:19,835
Know what I think?
375
00:27:19,999 --> 00:27:24,835
I think you can't leave Earth
on your own.
376
00:27:26,279 --> 00:27:29,397
I think you're trapped there,
not here.
377
00:27:29,599 --> 00:27:33,752
The only way you could slip out
was by hitchhiking inside Simon.
378
00:27:35,519 --> 00:27:39,308
You're gonna be exorcised,
all right, but not here.
379
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:40,959
We're sending you back to Earth.
380
00:27:44,959 --> 00:27:46,279
Back to your cage.
381
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,358
You know, when I was a little girl...
382
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:56,151
...I remember reading how
heaven was above and hell below.
383
00:27:56,319 --> 00:27:58,117
And it never made
much sense to me...
384
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:04,071
...because if hell was underground,
then where was it?
385
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,153
The truth is much simpler, isn't it?
386
00:28:11,159 --> 00:28:16,916
When you fell, when you got cast down,
you got cast down to Earth.
387
00:28:17,079 --> 00:28:19,195
Bound to Earth. Trapped on Earth.
388
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,390
Denied heaven, denied the heavens.
389
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,952
Denied the sky. Denied the stars.
390
00:28:29,759 --> 00:28:31,716
Earthbound.
391
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,153
Yours was no divine mission.
392
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,870
It was an ecclesiastical jailbreak.
393
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:46,080
The only way
that you could escape Earth...
394
00:28:46,239 --> 00:28:52,190
...was to crawl inside the skin
and hitchhike out here among the stars...
395
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,000
...and then do everything you could
to make sure...
396
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,996
...that you got cast out
by a servant of God, here in the stars.
397
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:06,151
It was the only way you could slip
your bonds, escape the inevitable.
398
00:29:07,399 --> 00:29:09,470
You see...
399
00:29:09,639 --> 00:29:14,236
...the day will come when the last of us
leave Earth behind for other worlds...
400
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,995
...because we know
that another day will come.
401
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,073
A far-off, distant day...
402
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:25,313
...when the sun will burn out
in a final blaze.
403
00:29:25,719 --> 00:29:31,237
The sky will go black, the seas will boil,
the ground will turn to ash...
404
00:29:31,399 --> 00:29:34,471
...consumed by a brilliant light.
405
00:29:34,639 --> 00:29:36,516
Any of this sounding familiar to you?
406
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:41,672
And on that day,
trapped on Earth with no escape...
407
00:29:41,879 --> 00:29:46,157
...you and your kind
will at last come to an end.
408
00:29:46,839 --> 00:29:50,992
But the heavens will remain,
and so will we.
409
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,596
A new start. A new universe.
410
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,719
A new dream.
411
00:29:59,679 --> 00:30:01,113
And you...
412
00:30:02,319 --> 00:30:05,118
You don't belong in that dream.
413
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:19,797
We will remember you.
414
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,911
I'll be here.
415
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:47,029
He may have been the first to try
to slip out, but he won't be the last.
416
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,639
I'll be sure to brief the Holy Father
on my return to Earth.
417
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,871
I've always wanted to meet him
in person.
418
00:30:53,039 --> 00:30:56,077
Now I have a story
he'll want to hear.
419
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,839
I'll put out the word to some others
on Earth force that I can trust, quietly...
420
00:31:00,999 --> 00:31:05,835
...and if this ever happens again,
they'll call me, and I'll call you.
421
00:31:07,079 --> 00:31:11,073
President Sheridan once said
that with Babylon 5...
422
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,471
...he would draw a line
against the darkness.
423
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,754
He was righter than he knew.
424
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:19,958
Oh, crap. Oh, sorry.
425
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,317
I'm sorry, it's just that Sheridan's
supposed to call me any minute...
426
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:24,879
...and I've gotta go take it.
427
00:31:25,039 --> 00:31:27,508
-You can take it from here, right?
-I can.
428
00:31:27,679 --> 00:31:33,357
Colonel, if you ever decide to look
for another line of work, give me a call.
429
00:31:33,519 --> 00:31:35,271
We could use someone like you.
430
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,399
Yeah? What, you think
I'm religious enough?
431
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,551
You'll do.
432
00:31:53,759 --> 00:31:56,433
Personal log,
Colonel Elizabeth Lochley.
433
00:31:56,599 --> 00:32:02,117
Every few days, a new Star liner arrives
from Earth, Mars or some damn place.
434
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:06,399
Among the passengers are always some
who have never been in space before...
435
00:32:06,559 --> 00:32:10,632
...and they'll stand at a porthole,
looking out at the infinite horizon...
436
00:32:10,799 --> 00:32:14,758
...at the intersection of what's known
and what's not...
437
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:19,551
...and comment on how cold
and dark it is in space.
438
00:32:19,759 --> 00:32:21,033
They're wrong.
439
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,670
When [ look out into space,
into the sea of stars...
440
00:32:24,839 --> 00:32:29,754
...I see a billion times a billion lights,
each calling out to someone:
441
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,797
"Remember me, my child. "
442
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:36,158
Each of them whispering to someone,
"Come home."”
443
00:32:36,999 --> 00:32:39,878
My friends back on Earth
don't understand why I'm still here...
444
00:32:40,039 --> 00:32:44,397
...when I could be at a comfy desk job
or commanding a warship.
445
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:48,474
I'm here because
this is my home now...
446
00:32:48,639 --> 00:32:50,994
...and because
when the darkness comes...
447
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,720
...it's good to know you're standing
in the one place...
448
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,032
...where the lights are always on.
449
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,919
Mr. President, your ship is here.
450
00:33:24,599 --> 00:33:26,556
Be right there.
451
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:42,951
Ten years.
452
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,511
Ten years since the world changed.
453
00:33:47,879 --> 00:33:50,189
Ten years since I changed.
454
00:33:50,359 --> 00:33:56,594
Ten years of press conferences,
bureaucracy, politics and arm-twisting.
455
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,474
Every day, somebody points me
to the big picture.
456
00:33:59,639 --> 00:34:05,078
Every day, I wonder if I'm missing
the small picture, the details.
457
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,079
Yes.
458
00:34:08,240 --> 00:34:13,679
Mr. President, the ISN reporter
is asking to see you again.
459
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,151
Tell her I'm dead
and throw her down the stairs.
460
00:34:17,319 --> 00:34:18,957
Sir?
461
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,957
All right, all right. Let her in.
462
00:34:23,119 --> 00:34:27,909
Because sometimes it's the details,
the small picture...
463
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,037
...that can change the future.
464
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:32,434
Mr. President?
465
00:34:34,559 --> 00:34:39,952
-Is there a problem, Miss Chambers?
-No, sir. It's just rather stark in here.
466
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:46,109
The Minbari are minimalists.
467
00:34:46,359 --> 00:34:47,633
For the last 400 years...
468
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,316
...their viewing rooms
didn't even have chairs.
469
00:34:51,479 --> 00:34:53,834
They stood the whole time.
470
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,951
Yeah, a group of nine
standing out in the void.
471
00:34:58,119 --> 00:35:03,432
When I suggested we put in some chairs,
I almost triggered a full-scale revolution.
472
00:35:03,599 --> 00:35:08,912
I'd go for some throw pillows next,
but I'm afraid of being assassinated.
473
00:35:10,959 --> 00:35:15,317
-Well, speaking of chairs, please, sit.
-Thank you, sir.
474
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,673
So gearing up for the big party
at Babylon 5?7
475
00:35:20,879 --> 00:35:23,314
Just meditating on the familiar.
476
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,878
I spent four years of my life
in that place.
477
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,475
The best years of my life.
478
00:35:29,799 --> 00:35:33,349
And also the hardest years
of my life.
479
00:35:34,559 --> 00:35:37,631
-It's a place of beginnings.
-And endings?
480
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:41,918
Some day.
481
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,470
This might not be the best time
for an interview.
482
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,189
-Maybe later.
-I've seen your schedule, sir.
483
00:35:53,359 --> 00:35:55,635
You don't have a later.
484
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,553
Life's full of disappointments.
485
00:35:59,919 --> 00:36:02,513
You don't like reporters, do you?
486
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,630
Of course I do, properly cooked.
487
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,597
It's Pak'Ma'Ra humor.
488
00:36:09,759 --> 00:36:12,194
I just got back from a state visit
to their home world.
489
00:36:12,359 --> 00:36:16,239
Now, if I'd have said that there,
they would be laughing for days.
490
00:36:16,399 --> 00:36:17,912
Mr. President--
491
00:36:18,119 --> 00:36:20,588
Actually, all their jokes
end with "properly cooked."
492
00:36:20,759 --> 00:36:23,672
They just scream.
Even their cat jokes.
493
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,037
I don't understand it, but it seems
to make them happy. Who am I to--?
494
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,316
So how does it feel
coming back to Babylon 5...
495
00:36:29,479 --> 00:36:31,311
...after all this time, Mr. President?
496
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,958
I didn't realize
the interview had started.
497
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,154
And where's your camera?
498
00:36:39,439 --> 00:36:41,077
Right here.
499
00:36:41,240 --> 00:36:46,872
My director said it would help make sure
that people look at the camera a lot.
500
00:36:48,759 --> 00:36:51,353
So Babylon 5...
501
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,557
Point of demarcation
from stars hip captain...
502
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,357
...to station commander, renegade...
503
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,989
...and now here you are
returning in triumph...
504
00:36:58,159 --> 00:37:00,275
...as president
of the Interstellar Alliance.
505
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,076
How does that feel?
506
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,470
Well, speaking
on behalf of the Alliance...
507
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,598
...we appreciate Babylon 5
making itself available...
508
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:13,640
...to celebrate the 10th anniversary
of the founding of the I.A.
509
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:18,237
Its position in neutral space
makes it ideal for everyone involved.
510
00:37:18,399 --> 00:37:20,913
I understand there will be
ambassadors and diplomats...
511
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:22,673
...from a hundred different worlds.
512
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,069
And there's also a rumor...
513
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,628
...that Emperor Mollari
from the Centauri Republic...
514
00:37:26,799 --> 00:37:28,756
-...might show up.
-No.
515
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,717
No, he won't be coming.
516
00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:39,270
Londo's been in a very strange,
dark place for the last few years.
517
00:37:43,159 --> 00:37:45,594
When people laugh,
sometimes they laugh...
518
00:37:45,759 --> 00:37:50,754
...from a little back in the mouth,
you know, that kind of fake laugh?
519
00:37:51,759 --> 00:37:53,875
Well, Londo...
520
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,431
...he would laugh
from the bottom of his shoes up.
521
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,191
Yeah, I hear
he doesn't laugh much anymore.
522
00:38:04,559 --> 00:38:06,630
So, no, he won't be attending.
523
00:38:06,799 --> 00:38:09,313
We will be picking up
Prince Vintari on the way.
524
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:14,236
He's third in line for the throne,
so there will be a Centauri presence.
525
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:16,474
And Citizen G'Kar?
526
00:38:20,639 --> 00:38:23,279
He's out there somewhere.
527
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,875
Beyond the Rim.
528
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:30,998
Also...
529
00:38:31,159 --> 00:38:34,948
...Deleon won't be attending.
She has responsibilities of her own.
530
00:38:35,159 --> 00:38:37,196
Which brings us back to my question.
531
00:38:37,399 --> 00:38:39,356
I already answered your question.
532
00:38:39,519 --> 00:38:42,398
You gave me the press release
as to why you're going and where.
533
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:43,550
The question...
534
00:38:43,720 --> 00:38:46,951
...was how does it feel coming back
to Babylon 5 after 10 years?
535
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,188
You only give two interviews
a year, Mr. President.
536
00:38:50,399 --> 00:38:53,073
I'm not letting you
off the hook that easily.
537
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,550
It feels good.
538
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,079
I'll confess, I've missed the place.
539
00:39:03,639 --> 00:39:07,269
It'll be strange but good.
540
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,670
Well, that is the signal
to let everyone know...
541
00:39:10,879 --> 00:39:13,268
...we're about to jump
into quantum space.
542
00:39:13,439 --> 00:39:15,077
Quant um space, sir?
543
00:39:15,240 --> 00:39:18,631
Yeah, it's a new technology we acquired
from what the Vorlons left behind.
544
00:39:18,799 --> 00:39:21,837
It's a step up from hyperspace,
twice as fast...
545
00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:27,155
...twice as disorienting, shall we say?
546
00:39:27,359 --> 00:39:29,669
Makes you feel like
you're being turned inside out.
547
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:35,119
It messes with your inner ear,
your balance, your sense of reality.
548
00:39:35,279 --> 00:39:37,111
It takes some getting used to.
549
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,396
Wouldn't normal hyperspace
be good enough to--?
550
00:39:39,559 --> 00:39:42,392
No, no, no.
We'd never make it in time.
551
00:39:42,559 --> 00:39:46,518
And as I was saying, the first time some
folks make the jump to quantum space...
552
00:39:46,679 --> 00:39:48,511
...they just puke their guts out...
553
00:39:48,839 --> 00:39:51,991
...fouling themselves in the most
awful ways you can imagine.
554
00:39:52,159 --> 00:39:53,558
Mr. President, I--
555
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,031
Here we go.
556
00:40:03,839 --> 00:40:07,150
The problem isn't that I only give
two interviews a year, Miss Chambers.
557
00:40:07,319 --> 00:40:11,995
The problem is that so few reporters
ever seem to come back for seconds.
558
00:40:15,439 --> 00:40:17,635
Was that a new dress?
559
00:40:52,159 --> 00:40:54,469
Look familiar?
560
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,078
No?
561
00:40:57,999 --> 00:41:00,275
Of course, my mistake.
562
00:41:00,439 --> 00:41:02,271
The black dust, you see.
563
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:06,559
It hides stars and the moon,
clouds and sky...
564
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,757
...hope and pity, despair and...
565
00:41:10,319 --> 00:41:12,913
Here, I'll fix it.
566
00:41:13,079 --> 00:41:17,755
As the saying goes,
let there be light.
567
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:40,753
New York.
568
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,875
The city that never weeps.
569
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:46,479
Get out of the road!
570
00:41:46,679 --> 00:41:49,671
What do you think you are doing?
Learn to fly.
571
00:41:49,839 --> 00:41:51,989
Up yours.
572
00:41:56,279 --> 00:41:59,590
This is what was...
573
00:41:59,759 --> 00:42:01,750
...and for this one moment
out of time...
574
00:42:02,199 --> 00:42:03,951
...still is.
575
00:42:04,879 --> 00:42:08,110
And this is what will be.
576
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,315
Up there somewhere...
577
00:42:15,479 --> 00:42:18,870
...far above us, above the clouds...
578
00:42:19,039 --> 00:42:23,317
...a thousand vast war machines
are warping into normal space.
579
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,560
Each of them armed
with terrible engines of destruction...
580
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:33,909
...capable of devastation
on a scale never seen before...
581
00:42:34,879 --> 00:42:38,270
...until right now.
582
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,079
No.
583
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,150
This was not a dream.
584
00:43:07,559 --> 00:43:09,232
Do you understand me?
585
00:43:09,399 --> 00:43:13,029
-Do you hear me? This was not--
- I hear you.
586
00:43:13,199 --> 00:43:15,270
I hear you.
587
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,156
You're not the only techno-mage
I've dealt with over the years, Galen.
588
00:43:19,319 --> 00:43:21,788
I've had enough experience
to know the difference...
589
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,271
...between dream-real, magic-real...
590
00:43:25,839 --> 00:43:27,398
...and real-real.
591
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,074
You're wiser than I thought.
592
00:43:30,919 --> 00:43:32,910
Yeah, wiser...
593
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:34,798
...older...
594
00:43:36,039 --> 00:43:38,599
...and I'm tired of you guys
crawling inside my head...
595
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,518
...and showing me
this kind of crap...
596
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:44,719
...every time I think that my life
might be going good for a change.
597
00:43:44,879 --> 00:43:47,792
What is wrong with you people?
Don't you have any other hobbies?
598
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,600
Well, that's hardly
what I'd call a warm welcome.
599
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,400
Not a "good to see you again,
old friend."
600
00:43:53,559 --> 00:43:56,278
Maybe a hug or a peck on the cheek,
in a manly sort of way.
601
00:43:56,439 --> 00:43:58,908
Why show me
this kind of stuff, huh?
602
00:43:59,079 --> 00:44:00,433
Why me?
603
00:44:00,639 --> 00:44:04,428
Because for those of us who dwell...
604
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,911
...in the infinite space
between science and magic...
605
00:44:08,079 --> 00:44:11,595
...between illusion
and ultimate truth...
606
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,993
...who are sworn by our order
not to interfere...
607
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:21,829
...you are known to us all
as a nexus.
608
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,877
Where others doubt...
609
00:44:24,039 --> 00:44:27,316
...you believe what you see
when we speak to you.
610
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,834
That belief has saved lives.
611
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,560
It may yet again.
612
00:44:34,720 --> 00:44:39,999
Or I can simply go,
if that's what you prefer.
613
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:44,313
What I just saw,
is that what is going to happen...
614
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:46,676
...or what may happen?
615
00:44:47,639 --> 00:44:52,475
There are ways to prevent this.
616
00:44:53,279 --> 00:44:54,758
There is hope...
617
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,070
...but it is at best a slim hope.
618
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:02,679
Yeah, well, I've never known hope
when it wasn't on a diet.
619
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:07,792
All right, go on.
620
00:45:08,479 --> 00:45:10,197
In one day...
621
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:14,354
...you will pick up Prince Vintari
to convey him to Babylon 5.
622
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:19,390
In two days,
you will arrive for the celebrations.
623
00:45:19,559 --> 00:45:21,470
In 20 years...
624
00:45:21,639 --> 00:45:27,112
...he will ascend to the throne
of emperor of the Centauri Republic.
625
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,909
In 30 years...
626
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:33,994
...he will decide that his plan to bring
the republic back to its former glory...
627
00:45:34,159 --> 00:45:37,231
...requires the elimination...
628
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,199
...of the one power
that could stop him.
629
00:45:40,399 --> 00:45:44,188
The one power that has stopped
the Centauri in the past.
630
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,033
Earth.
631
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:50,114
It is he who will cause the horrors
that you have seen.
632
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,197
But this can be stopped.
633
00:45:52,879 --> 00:45:56,315
No, I came all this way to show you this
because nothing can be done.
634
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,471
Because I like the way
your pupils dilate...
635
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,154
...in the presence
of total planetary Armageddon.
636
00:46:01,319 --> 00:46:05,472
Yes, it can be stopped.
637
00:46:06,559 --> 00:46:08,357
How?
638
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:10,951
Oh, President Sheridan...
639
00:46:11,119 --> 00:46:15,317
...I would have thought that
that would be eminently obvious.
640
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:19,157
All you have to do...
641
00:46:20,279 --> 00:46:21,678
...is kill...
642
00:46:22,039 --> 00:46:24,030
...Prince Vintari.
643
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,676
They call it spoo. Now, it's supposed
to be their favorite food.
644
00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:02,472
I've only tasted it,
but I call it the other gray meat.
645
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:04,711
President Sheridan?
646
00:47:07,839 --> 00:47:09,273
Prince Dius Vintari.
647
00:47:11,919 --> 00:47:13,717
It is an honor to meet you.
648
00:47:16,079 --> 00:47:17,672
And you.
649
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,513
This is the new Valen-class cruiser,
isn't it?
650
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,313
Yeah. You know your ships.
651
00:47:30,479 --> 00:47:32,117
A hobby of mine.
652
00:47:32,279 --> 00:47:35,317
I take special interest
in the technology of other races.
653
00:47:35,720 --> 00:47:40,430
The star-furies used by Earth
are a particular favorite of mine.
654
00:47:40,599 --> 00:47:44,638
So simple, so elegant, and so deadly.
655
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:52,518
I was surprised when I got the request
to transfer you aboard my cruiser.
656
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,991
The ship you were on could've easily
taken you all the way to Babylon 5.
657
00:47:56,159 --> 00:48:00,790
Emperor Mollari was concerned I might
not be safe among my own people.
658
00:48:00,959 --> 00:48:03,030
As third from the throne...
659
00:48:03,199 --> 00:48:07,557
...I am something of a target
in a small, confined space.
660
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,477
A target? For whom?
661
00:48:13,639 --> 00:48:17,348
Numbers four, five, six and seven,
I'd imagine.
662
00:48:17,519 --> 00:48:21,194
The only one I don't have to worry about
is that idiot Vir Cotto...
663
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:22,873
...who wouldn't be in line...
664
00:48:23,039 --> 00:48:26,157
...except the Centarum wanted
to punish me for what my father did.
665
00:48:26,359 --> 00:48:30,353
I've known Vir for a very long time.
He's a good man.
666
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:32,234
He murdered my father.
667
00:48:34,079 --> 00:48:37,435
At least, that's the rumor.
668
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:42,431
So he got what he wanted...
669
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:44,796
...second in line.
670
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,270
No threat to me...
671
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:51,673
...but in time, maybe...
672
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,199
...I might just be a threat to him.
673
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:05,079
Anyway, Emperor Mollari thought
I'd be safer with you.
674
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,477
He said, "I would trust
Sheridan with my life."
675
00:49:08,959 --> 00:49:10,233
Well, that's--
676
00:49:10,399 --> 00:49:14,154
Then he corrected himself and said
he would trust you with my life...
677
00:49:14,359 --> 00:49:17,033
...because he had plans
for next week.
678
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,875
Then he left the room, laughing.
679
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:28,119
Oh, he always did have
a sense of humor.
680
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,314
My father made many enemies...
681
00:49:35,479 --> 00:49:38,597
...and it seems
I have inherited them.
682
00:49:38,759 --> 00:49:41,399
There are many in the Royal Court
who would see me dead...
683
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,312
...before they'd see me
on the throne.
684
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:47,799
Now that I'm of age, I may have to leave
Centauri Prime for some time...
685
00:49:47,959 --> 00:49:52,157
...before it is safe for me to return
and claim the throne.
686
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,516
But I give you my word...
687
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:57,711
...when that day comes,
there will be a reckoning...
688
00:49:57,879 --> 00:50:01,429
...the likes of which has not been seen
since the early days of the republic.
689
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,433
And that will be
just the beginning, I--
690
00:50:09,839 --> 00:50:11,830
So I appreciate your gesture.
691
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:16,237
I'm sure my presence here
must be an inconvenience for you...
692
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:21,110
...but it will be nice to sleep without
a knife beside my bed for a change...
693
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:26,798
...to know that I am safe here
with you.
694
00:50:42,720 --> 00:50:45,838
So how are the preparations going
at your end, colonel?
695
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:47,593
As well as can be expected.
696
00:50:47,759 --> 00:50:49,158
Meaning not at all.
697
00:50:49,319 --> 00:50:52,072
It's Babylon 5. Nothing's ever easy.
698
00:50:52,240 --> 00:50:53,469
Speaking of which...
699
00:50:53,639 --> 00:50:56,074
...I know how you hate
publicity stunts...
700
00:50:56,240 --> 00:50:57,913
-Elizabeth--
-...but ISN has asked...
701
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:00,071
...if you'd mind
riding back to Babylon 5...
702
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,355
...in a star-fury
instead of a shuttle.
703
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:06,719
You know, the conquering hero
coming home on the airborne stallion...
704
00:51:06,879 --> 00:51:10,190
...on which he won the Shadow War.
705
00:51:10,399 --> 00:51:13,391
Congratulations.
I think I'm about to be ill.
706
00:51:13,559 --> 00:51:17,348
Come on, it would really mean a lot
to the people who've shown up.
707
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:19,272
And you know the power
of symbolism.
708
00:51:19,759 --> 00:51:21,636
All right, all right.
709
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:26,713
I haven't been in a star-fury in ages.
710
00:51:27,839 --> 00:51:30,672
Well, who knows, it might be fun.
711
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:35,596
So any of the old gang
coming in for this shindig?
712
00:51:35,759 --> 00:51:38,035
Some. Talked to Garibaldi.
He's gonna try to come.
713
00:51:38,199 --> 00:51:40,076
But he's dealing
with some situation on Mars.
714
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:43,354
-And Stephen?
-Oh, I thought you heard.
715
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,359
Dr. Franklin went with G'Kar,
exploring beyond the Rim.
716
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,073
You know how he is.
717
00:51:48,240 --> 00:51:52,837
He'll take any chance to explore new
territory before anyone can get there.
718
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:56,318
That's too bad. I'll miss him.
719
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,349
You're looking tired, Elizabeth.
720
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:03,278
Is everything okay?
721
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,478
It's been crazy.
722
00:52:06,639 --> 00:52:11,076
! always knew Babylon 5
was neutral territory, but until today...
723
00:52:11,240 --> 00:52:15,473
...I never knew it was on the crossroads
between heaven and hell.
724
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:18,917
Hey, it's a long story. I'll tell you
all about it when you get here.
725
00:52:19,079 --> 00:52:20,717
Travel safe.
726
00:52:26,479 --> 00:52:31,952
Interesting how the universe
always provides, isn't it?
727
00:52:32,679 --> 00:52:34,158
Now what?
728
00:52:34,799 --> 00:52:38,679
Your return to Babylon 5
on a star-fury...
729
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:42,037
...and Vintari's interest
in these primitive vehicles...
730
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:44,274
Don't you see?
731
00:52:44,439 --> 00:52:46,749
All you have to do
is offer him the chance...
732
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:50,390
...to ride alongside you
in a second star-fury.
733
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,640
And that accomplishes what exactly?
734
00:52:55,039 --> 00:52:59,078
My agents aboard Babylon 5 will ensure
a slight technical malfunction...
735
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:01,549
...in your ship's weapons systems.
736
00:53:01,720 --> 00:53:05,998
The moment your ship achieves a speed
of, say, 5000 kilometers an hour...
737
00:53:06,479 --> 00:53:09,392
...the system
will short-circuit and fire.
738
00:53:09,559 --> 00:53:15,316
In the course of this terrible accident,
his ship will be struck and...
739
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:19,831
Well, as I said, it will be a terrible
accident, much to be regretted...
740
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:24,437
...followed by some posturing
and harsh words from Centauri Prime.
741
00:53:24,959 --> 00:53:26,836
But in the end...
742
00:53:26,999 --> 00:53:29,639
...they'll be as glad
to be rid of him as we are.
743
00:53:30,919 --> 00:53:33,638
You mean as glad as you are.
744
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:35,791
Christ, he's only a kid.
745
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,433
Once upon a time, back on Earth...
746
00:53:40,599 --> 00:53:44,638
...Adolf Hitler and Genghis Khan
were just small boys...
747
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:48,839
...playing with toys
and growing slowly...
748
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:52,431
...slowly into monsters.
749
00:53:52,599 --> 00:53:56,513
If either of those candles
had been extinguished at an early age...
750
00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:00,389
...how many millions of lives
might have been spared?
751
00:54:01,439 --> 00:54:04,352
But no one took that opportunity...
752
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:07,951
...because no one knew.
753
00:54:08,559 --> 00:54:10,630
But you do.
754
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:17,115
The fate of billions of lives...
755
00:54:17,279 --> 00:54:19,634
...is in your hands.
756
00:54:39,199 --> 00:54:41,668
In 30 years...
757
00:54:41,999 --> 00:54:45,788
...he will decide that his plan to bring
the republic back to its former glory...
758
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,918
...requires the elimination...
759
00:54:49,079 --> 00:54:52,709
...of the one power
that could stop him.
760
00:55:23,519 --> 00:55:24,998
-Yes?
-The president's cruiser...
761
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:27,151
...has jumped out of quantum space.
762
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,392
Well, fire up a star-fury
and get it out there ASAP.
763
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,439
And I want an honor guard
at Docking Bay 6 as soon as he docks.
764
00:55:33,599 --> 00:55:35,158
Confirmed. Just one thing.
765
00:55:35,319 --> 00:55:38,277
President Sheridan has asked
for two star-furies.
766
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:40,716
-Two? Why two?
-He didn't say.
767
00:55:40,879 --> 00:55:42,278
Maybe he wants a backup.
768
00:55:42,439 --> 00:55:44,476
We do have another star-fury
on standby--
769
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:45,914
Well, he is the president.
770
00:55:46,079 --> 00:55:48,673
If he wants two star-furies,
then give him two star-furies.
771
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:52,356
-Roger that.
- I wonder if Custer had staff like this.
772
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:54,119
Vintari.
773
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:57,352
-Just the prince regent I was looking for.
-Is it time to go?
774
00:55:57,519 --> 00:56:01,353
Yes, and I've arranged
a little treat for you.
775
00:56:01,799 --> 00:56:05,235
How would you like to ride fire
alongside me in a star-fury?
776
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,310
-You're serious?
-Always.
777
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:11,239
Unfortunately, we don't have
a EVA suit that'll fit you...
778
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,233
...but I'm not wearing one,
since we're not going into combat.
779
00:56:14,399 --> 00:56:17,039
It'll just be a little drive
around the block.
780
00:56:17,199 --> 00:56:20,078
-Do you have a problem with that?
-No, no, please.
781
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:22,469
To do even this would be...
782
00:56:23,240 --> 00:56:26,437
You see, they keep me so controlled.
783
00:56:26,599 --> 00:56:28,636
There's sa little chance for...
784
00:56:30,559 --> 00:56:32,072
Fun?
785
00:56:32,279 --> 00:56:34,156
You must understand.
786
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:39,918
Where I am from, no one does anything
except for to get something in exchange.
787
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:44,233
I know all about how to use people,
to exploit and manipulate...
788
00:56:44,399 --> 00:56:48,279
...but very little about real kindness.
789
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:51,758
Thank you.
790
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:56,919
I assume you're up-to-date
on how to pilot one of these things.
791
00:56:57,079 --> 00:56:59,036
I could fly it in my sleep.
792
00:56:59,199 --> 00:57:01,952
Well, you wouldn't be the first.
793
00:57:16,439 --> 00:57:18,908
Pull back on your thrusters.
794
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:24,032
Maintain your XY Z axis.
795
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:28,150
Now, ease off.
796
00:57:29,999 --> 00:57:33,310
-How does she feel?
-Magnificent.
797
00:57:33,479 --> 00:57:36,949
So this is what it's like
to ride a ship into battle.
798
00:57:37,119 --> 00:57:39,759
Minus the part
where they're shooting at you.
799
00:57:41,599 --> 00:57:44,113
We'll increase our speed slowly...
800
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,429
...to 5000 kph.
801
00:57:47,639 --> 00:57:49,437
Slow but steady.
802
00:57:49,599 --> 00:57:51,078
Right.
803
00:57:56,199 --> 00:57:58,076
You have done your homework.
804
00:57:58,239 --> 00:58:00,549
You handle that fighter
like you've done it before.
805
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:02,438
I have.
806
00:58:03,239 --> 00:58:05,037
In a dream.
807
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:10,914
For the last seven days,
I have seen myself in this very ship...
808
00:58:11,079 --> 00:58:13,229
...in front of a great fleet.
809
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:17,316
Dreams are very powerful
to my people, you know.
810
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:21,440
They carry some weight
with mine as well.
811
00:58:21,599 --> 00:58:24,671
In the past,
I have had similar dreams.
812
00:58:24,959 --> 00:58:27,075
Commanding a fleet
against our enemies...
813
00:58:27,239 --> 00:58:31,790
...raining fire from the skies,
whole cities burning.
814
00:58:33,839 --> 00:58:37,628
A dream, nothing more.
815
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,919
But this dream was prophetic...
816
00:58:42,119 --> 00:58:46,477
...for I have seen myself
in this very ship just last night.
817
00:58:47,919 --> 00:58:49,637
I get in...
818
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:54,315
...y ride before you in triumph,
and then...
819
00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:59,992
What happens? What?
820
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:05,160
Something wonderful.
821
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:07,234
That's all I remember.
822
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:15,634
Computer, cut outgoing transmissions.
823
00:59:15,799 --> 00:59:17,995
Shutting down transmissions.
824
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:19,719
Assess weapons system.
825
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:22,713
Four Omega-grade torpedoes online.
826
00:59:22,879 --> 00:59:27,077
System confirms pulse cannons
at full power, ready to be armed.
827
00:59:27,239 --> 00:59:30,550
Countdown velocity on approach.
828
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:33,792
Four thousand five hundred
kilometers per hour.
829
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:35,519
Four-K-six.
830
00:59:35,679 --> 00:59:39,468
Detecting power surge
in primary weapons control system.
831
00:59:39,639 --> 00:59:43,519
-Should I take weapons off-line?
-Negative.
832
00:59:43,679 --> 00:59:46,671
Keep weapons online.
833
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:50,549
Confirmed. Four-K-seven.
834
00:59:51,239 --> 00:59:53,196
It was an accident.
835
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:56,754
I tell you, it was an accident.
836
00:59:56,919 --> 00:59:59,752
I didn't know
the weapons system was live.
837
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:02,756
I didn't know.
838
01:00:02,919 --> 01:00:05,479
Four-K-eight.
839
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:08,439
I'm sure my presence here
must be an inconvenience for you...
840
01:00:08,599 --> 01:00:12,752
...but it will be nice to sleep without
a knife beside my bed for a change...
841
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:18,271
...to know that I am safe here
with you.
842
01:00:20,919 --> 01:00:24,355
You must understand,
where I am from...
843
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:28,832
...nobody does anything for any reason
other than to get something in exchange.
844
01:00:28,999 --> 01:00:33,357
I know all about how to use people,
to exploit them and manipulate...
845
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:38,276
...but very little about real kindness.
846
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:50,873
What I just saw,
was that what is going to happen...
847
01:00:51,199 --> 01:00:53,270
...or what may happen?
848
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:57,954
-There are ways to prevent this.
-Ways.
849
01:00:58,119 --> 01:01:00,030
He said "ways."
850
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:02,555
Four-K-nine.
851
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:13,719
Reduce speed.
852
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:23,476
You have fired your forward
thrusters. Are you all right?
853
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:26,193
I'm fine.
854
01:01:26,359 --> 01:01:28,191
Fine.
855
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:31,637
Just wanted to slow down
a bit, enjoy the trip.
856
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:34,992
And besides,
I'm not a kid anymore.
857
01:01:35,159 --> 01:01:38,550
I don't need to be hot-dogging
around the galaxy.
858
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:42,998
Do you mind if I...?
859
01:01:43,319 --> 01:01:45,310
By all means.
860
01:01:45,919 --> 01:01:47,193
Indulge yourself.
861
01:02:13,639 --> 01:02:16,677
That was amazing.
We must do it again.
862
01:02:16,839 --> 01:02:19,035
I haven't had that much fun since...
863
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:23,353
-Since I don't even remember.
-Yeah, well, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
864
01:02:24,279 --> 01:02:26,316
Are you all right?
865
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:27,959
You seem rather thoughtful.
866
01:02:29,959 --> 01:02:31,836
I was just thinking about
what you said.
867
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:35,789
About having to leave Centauri Prime
to avoid being killed.
868
01:02:36,919 --> 01:02:39,559
You've had a very difficult life.
869
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:41,757
One that can harden a person.
870
01:02:41,919 --> 01:02:44,229
Make them into something
even they wouldn't like.
871
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:48,874
Your point being, you do not desire
or appreciate my company.
872
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:50,713
Is that it?
873
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:52,678
Not exactly.
874
01:02:55,399 --> 01:02:59,029
When we're finished with this party,
I'm inviting you to come back to Min bar.
875
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:02,438
You can stay at the Royal Palace
with Deleon and myself.
876
01:03:02,639 --> 01:03:04,437
I just checked in with her
on the way...
877
01:03:04,599 --> 01:03:07,273
...and, well, she said she thought
it was a great idea.
878
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:10,000
I guarantee you,
you'll be safe from your enemies there.
879
01:03:10,159 --> 01:03:12,309
-Why?
-Why not?
880
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:16,593
I mean, there's plenty of room.
We have a son, David.
881
01:03:16,759 --> 01:03:18,432
He's 9.
882
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:21,309
He could use an older brother
to learn from.
883
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,790
Or at least someone
who could be that for him.
884
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:30,199
You would have me come
to live with your family on Min bar?
885
01:03:31,479 --> 01:03:33,277
That pretty much covers it, yeah.
886
01:03:33,479 --> 01:03:34,799
If I were a cynic...
887
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:37,679
...I might believe you were doing this
for your own reasons.
888
01:03:37,839 --> 01:03:41,070
To try and gain a foothold
in the Centauri Royal Court.
889
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:44,231
I'd think the same thing.
890
01:03:45,599 --> 01:03:48,034
You're not going to try
to convince me otherwise?
891
01:03:49,479 --> 01:03:51,834
I'll let life do that for me.
892
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:55,949
Trust doesn't come overnight.
893
01:03:56,719 --> 01:03:59,552
I'll teach you, if you'll let me.
894
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:03,471
President Sheridan...
895
01:04:04,039 --> 01:04:05,632
...welcome to Babylon 5.
896
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:08,275
Colonel, it is good to see you again.
897
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:13,039
So after all this time,
this by you is a hello?
898
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:16,873
Come here.
899
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:23,149
-You look great.
-You too.
900
01:04:23,959 --> 01:04:27,839
Colonel Lochley, Prince Regent Vintari
of the Centauri Republic.
901
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:29,274
-An honor.
-Thank you.
902
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:33,912
So everyone's waiting for you.
You ready to go over to the party?
903
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:35,957
Absolutely.
904
01:04:36,119 --> 01:04:38,315
But...
905
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:41,434
Why don't you go ahead?
I'll be right there.
906
01:04:41,599 --> 01:04:45,069
I just want to, you know,
savor the moment.
907
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:46,719
Of course.
908
01:04:47,799 --> 01:04:49,437
Please.
909
01:04:55,519 --> 01:04:58,637
You violated our agreement.
910
01:05:02,839 --> 01:05:04,512
Yes, I did.
911
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:05,954
Why?
912
01:05:06,159 --> 01:05:09,629
You said there were ways
to avoid that future.
913
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:11,438
Ways, plural.
914
01:05:12,439 --> 01:05:15,158
They are harder. This was simpler.
915
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:18,950
-But just as valid.
-Possibly, but we can't be sure.
916
01:05:19,119 --> 01:05:22,510
Only with his death can we be sure.
917
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:26,316
Then I will take my chances.
918
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:29,879
Deleon and I will show him
another way of looking at things.
919
01:05:30,039 --> 01:05:33,430
Maybe we can help him,
change him...
920
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:36,513
...and avoid that future
that you showed me.
921
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:38,512
And if you can't?
922
01:05:40,439 --> 01:05:42,828
Then I'll take care of it.
923
01:05:43,399 --> 01:05:47,757
When and if I decide
there's no other way.
924
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:54,710
One other thing, Vintari said that he had
a dream that he was in that star-fury...
925
01:05:54,919 --> 01:05:59,038
...and that something wonderful
was going to happen.
926
01:05:59,920 --> 01:06:01,513
That was your work, wasn't it?
927
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:04,237
I get around.
928
01:06:05,599 --> 01:06:07,875
Because, see, I was thinking.
929
01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:09,872
Maybe...
930
01:06:10,639 --> 01:06:15,429
Maybe you wanted me to kill him
all along, just like you say.
931
01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:20,834
And maybe you were hoping that things
would turn out the way they did...
932
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,389
...and I'd take him under my wing.
933
01:06:24,039 --> 01:06:28,795
And maybe you boxed me in precisely
so I'd make this decision.
934
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:32,959
And that was the something wonderful
that he saw in his dream.
935
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:36,317
What do you say to that?
936
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:38,477
I say...
937
01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:44,752
...that we are surrounded on all sides
by mysteries, President Sheridan.
938
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:50,199
And mysteries, once solved,
are never quite as interesting...
939
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:52,039
...are they?
940
01:06:54,759 --> 01:06:57,512
Good evening, everyone,
and welcome.
941
01:06:57,719 --> 01:07:00,598
We are honored to have
President Sheridan with us tonight.
942
01:07:00,759 --> 01:07:03,751
He will be up here shortly
to say a few words.
943
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:05,877
And among our other
distinguished guests...
944
01:07:06,039 --> 01:07:08,918
...we are fortunate enough
to have Prince Vintari joining us.
945
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:10,832
Well...
946
01:07:11,919 --> 01:07:14,229
...here we go again.
947
01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:19,631
Ten years.
948
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:22,838
Ten years since the world changed.
949
01:07:22,999 --> 01:07:25,798
Ten years since I changed.
950
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:29,112
But it feels like I never left the place.
951
01:07:29,279 --> 01:07:34,149
Babylon 5 is a place
of beginnings and endings.
952
01:07:34,959 --> 01:07:37,678
I wonder which this will be.
