(Londo)
'This is absurd.'

'Two hours I have
been standing in line.'

'"Our staff are overwhelmed",
they tell me.'

"Too many people trying to
get home or escape here."

Ah!

Rumors of rebellion and war.

Even the diplomatic
lanes are clogged.

Fah!

If you ask me,
I know the real problem.

Ever since the Earthers put
Narns on their security force

Everything here has
gone to hell.

They're not very efficient,
you know.

You have to keep an eye
on them at all times.

Next.

Identicard, please.

How strange.

I'm not getting a confirmation
on your identicard.

Oh, please!
You know who I am.

Oh, yes, I know who you are,
ambassador.

But the computer,
you see, does not.

And verification is required
prior to entry.

Perhaps I have entered
the data incorrectly.

We are, after all,
very inefficient.

Yes, one must keep an
eye on us at all times.

Alright, now,
you listen to me--

In a moment.

Meanwhile, we have many
others coming through.

Please step aside, ambassador.

This shouldn't take more than,
oh, two or three standard hours.

Madness.
Total and complete madness.

This never would have happened

if the humans hadn't started
fighting with one another.

[gunfire]

[whirring]

[explosion]

Thirty percent hit
to rear decks.

One more of those, and we're
going to lose rotation

and go z-gravity.

We can't outrun them
in normal space.

Major, we have to jump.

And leave our fighters
stranded out there?

No, we can't jump without them.

If we reel them in,
we're gonna lose our screen.

Clarkstown will burn us
from stem to stern!

Damn it!
Haven't we lost enough..

[rumbling]

If you won't jump,
then you've got to let me

open fire with
the aft batteries.

I don't wanna kill any
more of our own ships!

We have no choice!

Forward interceptors
on the Clarkstown are down!

We can punch through the hull.

Major, please.

Let me get the gloves
off the firing team.

Tell the aft batteries
to open fire.

Command to squadron.
Fire in the hole.

Repeat, fire in the hole.

Aft batteries...fire!

[intense music]

[explosion]

Clarkstown destroyed, major.

Reloading fighters
as fast as we can.

As soon as they're aboard,
make the jump to hyperspace.

Bill...did you ever meet the
captain of the Clarkstown?

No, sir.

He and the general were
at the Academy together.

Hague introduced me
to him last summer.

He has a wife back home.

'Three small children.'

An Abyssinian cat...named Max.

That's what makes
this war different

from anything we've ever
gone through before.

This time...we know
everyone we kill.

I'll try to find something
to say to both of their wives.

'God knows what.'

Sir?

Once we jump..

...what's our course?

[sighs]
We need time to make repairs,
catch our breath.

There's only one place
safe for us.

Set course for Babylon 5.

(Ivanova)
The Babylon Project was
our last best hope for peace.

It failed.

[intense music]

In the year of the Shadow War,
it became something greater..

...our last best hope
for victory.

The year is 2260.

The place...Babylon 5.

[theme music]

[music continues]

Bad news, people.

We are five hours away
from a crisis situation.

I just received a narrow-band
transmission from the Alexander.

That's General Hague's ship.

Hmm. He's suffered heavy damage

And they need a place
to make repairs.

And they're coming here.

Well, we're screwed.

Every ship in Earthforce
is hunting them down

on charges of treason.

As soon as they
come through the gate

somebody's gonna send
word back home.

- Once that happens--
- 'I know.'

So I need you to put a cut-off
switch in the comm system.

The second they get here,
shut everything down.

Just leave us a private
channel in case we need it

and the ISN feed.

It's our only
lifeline to home.

'We need to know
what's happening.'

We all knew we'd end up in the
middle of this sooner or later.

How far this goes,
we'll just have to see.

All I know right now
is that Hague is arriving

here in a few hours

and hell is riding
in with him.

Why didn't you just
bring him to Medlab?

We can't allow anyone
else to see him.

We believe
several bounty hunters

are already here,
looking for him.

We must slip him into
the station quietly.

What happened?

He has spent the last six months

among the league worlds,
gathering information.

He was on his way here
when he was attacked.

Doctor, we cannot let him die.

That's exactly
what's gonna happen

if we don't get him
to Medlab right away.

Security is very tight.

The Narns are at all
of the customs areas.

How do we know which
of them we can trust?

(G'Kar)
'You don't..'

...but I do.

I'll get him past
the other Narn.

Good. Give me a hand here?

Unnecessary.

Ambassador.

Can you carry him very far?

As far as you like.

With the latest news
on the continuing crisis.

Xavier Montoya, Head of the Mars
Provisional Government

announced today that he
will not implement

the martial law order given five
days ago by President Clark.

So far, Earthdome has had
no official response

to this act
of open defiance by Mars

except to say that they are
considering all options.

Is Garibaldi standing by?

The cut-off switch
is in place and ready to go.

Jump gate activated.

We've got a ship coming through.

Sheridan to Garibaldi. Kill it.

(Garibaldi)
'Confirmed.'

May I have your attention?

'Your instruments are correct.'

That's the Alexander.

She's been in combat
for some time

and we will render
full assistance.

But, captain--

The commander and I
are aware of standing orders

concerning the Alexander
and her crew.

We take full and
personal responsibility.

Now, if anyone has
a problem with this..

...they're free to leave
the command deck.

We have just been
thrust into the middle

of extraordinary events.

So we must approach this
calmly and rationally.

'Those are not the
enemy out there.'

We wear the same uniforms

and we've both sworn
to uphold the constitution.

They're as loyal
to Earth as you are

and we will render
humanitarian aid to them.

Because..

...as much as our humanity..

...got us into this..

...our humanity's the only thing

that's going to
get us out again.

Delenn..

Take it easy, now. You're safe.

No, none of us is safe anymore.

The shadows are moving.

They have made
alliances with many

in the nonaligned worlds
and urged them to go to war

with their neighbors.

(Delenn)
'No.'

Why would they
go along with this?

They listened to the
shadows out of fear

Afraid that if they
did not ally themselves

with a greater force,
they would be conquered..

'...by the Centauri.'

But..

...an alliance of defense
has now grown

into the dream of conquest.

They believe that as long as

they are protected
by the shadows

they cannot be defeated.

And so they go to war
with one another.

Has the Grey Council
been informed?

The Grey Council has said..

"...The problems of others
are not our concern."

[intense music]

- Captain.
- Major Ryan.

Where's General Hague?

General Hague was killed
in our last firefight.

'We were coming back from
a meeting with some officials'

'on Orion 7,
when we were ambushed.'

'He was on his way
to the command deck'

when we were hit amid
ships by the Clarkstown.

In his absence, I've tried
to carry on as best I can.

Between this and what's been
going on back home

the crew is...just stunned.

What's the latest on the coup?

A few senators had
managed to escape Earthdome.

Shock troops are out
in force everywhere.

Paris, London, New York,
Moscow, New Delhi..

How are the folks back home
dealing with all this?

That's the irony. Most of them
have welcomed martial law.

It's cut crime down to nothing.

'On the surface, it's peaceful.'

Yeah, the peace of the gun.

Why haven't we seen any
of this on ISN?

ISN is walking a fine line.

They know if they push
too far, they'll be shut down.

'We have one chance.'

Mars has rejected Martial Law.

If they can stand up to Clark

they might be able
to rally support

from some of the other colony
worlds and push him outta power.

Unless he pushes back.

No, he's overextended already.

His power base is back on Earth

where he has Nightwatch
and the bulk of our forces.

I just can't believe so
many people in Earthforce

would go along with all this.

He spent the last year putting
his people in key places.

Anyone who raises a voice

is immediately arrested
and charged with treason.

Under conditions like that,
it's..

It's easier to keep quiet.

[beeping]

Yes?

(Bill)
'We just intercepted
a coded message'

'from Earthforce Command.'

'They've started bombing Mars.'

'I repeat,
they're bombing Mars.'

(male #1)
'Standing by. Weapons hot.'

(man over radio)
'Don't do it!'

'We've got women and children
down here, don't do it!'

(male #2)
'Omega One,
you're clear for drop.'

[whooshing]

Lennier, I'm leaving you
in charge in my absence.

I will support
any action you take.

Thank you.

Delenn, please be careful.

The Grey Council
is not what it was.

They may not receive you well

if they will see you at all.

They will see me whether
they like it or not.

It's time someone
made them face reality.

Your ship's ready
to go, ambassador.

We got you priority clearance.

Seems like everyone's
trying to get outta here

now that fighting's
broken out back home.

- Thank you.
- Good luck.

G'kar, thank you for your help.

I think you are no longer
quite the same person

I met when I came here
four years ago.

[intense music]

(Ivanova)
'Captain, you better come
take a look at this.'

We've got another
Earthforce Destroyer.

Identification code
says it's the Churchill.

Good. Major Ryan's
been waiting for her.

She's hailing us.

Repeat, this is the
Churchill to Babylon Control.

- Do you copy?
- Right here, Churchill.

Captain Sandra Hiroshi here.
Is Major Ryan with you?

He's coordinating repairs
with our people.

Do you want us to
get him on the link?

Negative.

I won't put this
on an open channel.

Tell your people to stand by.
I'm coming in.

And we've been unable to
determine at this time

how many have been killed
in the recent attacks on Mars

by Earthgov Forces.

President Clark has announced
that the attacks will continue

'until the Mars
Provisional Government'

'accedes to Martial Law.'

So far,
there's been no reaction

From any of the outer
colonies concerning--

(male #3)
'I'm sorry.'

Jane, I'm sorry to
jump in like this

but we have to..

The colonies at Orion 7
and Proxima 3

have just broken away
from the Earth Alliance

in protest over the
bombing of Mars.

They're setting themselves up
as independent states

until such time
as President Clark is impeached.

Rick, don't do this.

Clark doesn't want this
information released

but we have to go with this now

because I don't know how much
longer we can stay on the air.

Armed troops have
begun moving in

on the ISN Broadcast Centre
here in Geneva.

We just saw them
coming around the corner.

'We're trying to get
a camera down there'

'to document what's going on.'

I-I can hear gunfire now
up here on the 14th floor.

Listen to me, there's
information you don't have.

What's been going on
for the last year

we haven't been
allowed to tell you.

[explosion]

My God! Everybody get down!

[indistinct chatter]

Major Ryan? Captain?

We just jumped in from Orion 7.

They've declared independence.

We've heard.
What's the reaction?

Clark's afraid of losing
the other colonies

'so he's sending
his elite forces'

'to seize direct control
of any colony or outpost'

'that might move against him.'

If he finds out we're here--

It's too late, he already knows.

We intercepted attack orders

relayed to the Agrippa
and the Roanoke.

They're hooking up with some

heavy reinforcements
on the way in.

We'd better pull out before we
jeopardize Babylon 5 further.

Major, the ships receiving
the attack order

were already on their way here.

He doesn't want to risk
Babylon 5 breaking away.

So those ships are under orders
to seize command of Babylon 5

arrest and detain its captain

and the rest of
the command staff

'and to put this station
under the direct authority'

'of President Clark
and the Nightwatch.'

(Ivanova)
'The other governments
won't stand for it.'

(Ryan)
'They won't intervene.'

'All the major powers
are divided, distracted'

'busy with their own wars..
We're on our own.'

(Hiroshi)
'Sorry to be the bearer
of such bad news, Captain.'

But I thought you should know.

How long until they get here?

(Hiroshi)
'Six hours, tops. Maybe less.'

I better get back to my ship.

I should be there
when the others arrive.

If you think it would
be any help

we could try to jump, maybe draw
some fire away from Babylon 5

give you a chance to negotiate.

No. Thank you, major.

If this is where
we'll make our stand

then this is where
we'll do it.

I know we are all
hoping to avoid

a head-on confrontation
with Earth..

...that somehow we could..

...stop this train before
it went off-track.

But this train
is heading right for us

and there is not
a lot of time.

So we have only two options.

We fight..

...or we surrender.

Now, if it was just us..

Hey, he pays your money,
he takes your chances

but it's not just us.

There's a quarter
million people here

and billions more out
there counting on us.

Now, I promised Delenn

that we would draw
a line against the darkness

no matter the cost.

Well, now we know the cost.

There's too much at stake
to walk away now.

If we surrender,
they'll court martial us.

If we fight and lose,
they'll probably kill us.

They probably will, at that.

So the choice is yours.

I say fight.

Fight.

Fight.

Fight.

[dramatic music]

While they try
to breach the hulls

we'll need every warm body
we've got working security.

Full weapons loaded.

And what about the Narns?

Them, too. G'kar's
guaranteed their loyalty

and so far, he has kept
every promise he made.

I want two fighter
squadrons on rotation

starting 30 seconds ago.

And put all backup
squadrons on full alert.

If it can fly,
I want it loaded

and ready to drop ten seconds
after primary launches.

Done.

Doc, if you have
got any patients

that can be moved from Medlab,
do so.

- We're gonna need the space.
- You'll have it in an hour.

I need to make a call.

Tell the Command Staff
to stand by.

And see if you
can access Draal's

Holographic system
on Epsilon 3.

I have an announcement to make.

I told you, Delenn,
they will not speak to you.

Then they will listen to me.

I served the council
for 16 cycles.

I was the chosen of Dukhat,
to replace him.

I held him when he died.

His blood is on my hands

his spirit in my eyes,
his word on my lips.

You will step aside in
his name and mine, or..

...in Valen's name, I will
tear this ship apart

with my bare hands
until I find them.

Move aside.

Three years.

For three years, I warned
you this day was coming.

But you would not listen.

Pride, you said. Presumption.

And now the shadows
are on the move.

The Centauri and the
younger worlds are at war.

The Narns have fallen.

Even the humans are
fighting one another.

The pride was yours.
The presumption was yours.

For a thousand years

We have been awaiting
the fulfillment of prophecy.

And when it finally happens,
you scorn it, you reject it

because you no longer
believe it yourselves.

"We stand between the
candle and the star

between the darkness
and the light."

You say the words,
but your hearts are empty.

Your ears close to the truth.

You stand for nothing but
your own petty interests.

"The problems of others
are not our concern."

I do not blame you for
standing silent in your shame.

You, who knew what was coming

but refused to take up
the burden of this war.

If the warrior caste
will not fight

then the rest of us will.

The council has lost its way.

If it will not lead.

If we have abandoned
our covenant with Valen..

...then the council
should be broken..

...as was prophesied.

We must stand with the others,
now, before it's too late.

Between the worker caste
and the religious caste

we control two thirds
of our forces.

To you, I say, listen to
the voice of your conscience

break the council,
and come with me.

Our time of isolation is over.

We move now, together,
or not at all.

[intense music]

[automated voice]
'Transmission sequence complete.
Stand by to receive.'

- Hi, dad.
- John.

Well, this is a surprise.

I thought I'd look in on you
and see how you were doin'.

Fine, fine.

Having a few problems
with the corn.

Been so damn hot lately

the water doesn't get
a chance to sink in.

Your mother still thinks I make
a better diplomat than a farmer.

Where is mom?

Oh, she had to go into town.
Errands to run.

Some days, I don't know
what she does with her time.

But if she's happy, I'm happy.

'Listen, dad..'

...um..

...I wanted to call because..

...well, there's a lot
going on right now

and I don't know when I'll
be able to call again.

It may be a while.

I can't really explain
on an open channel, but--

Son, I follow the news.

Well, I did,
until ISN went black.

I see what's going on.

Your mother doesn't like
to think about it.

You know how she is.

John, I can't imagine
the kind of decisions

that are going through
your mind right now.

I'm sure they're not easy.

The important ones never are.

But when push comes to shove

you've always done
the right thing.

What was the first lesson
I ever taught you?

Never start a fight,
but always finish it.

You do what you have to do, son.

Don't worry about us.

The neighbors around here
like us, Lord knows why.

So anybody comes for us

they're going to have quite
a fight on their hands.

Now I know you probably got
a million things to do

so I'm going to let you
go and do them.

And I guess, uh..

...I'll talk to you
when I talk to you.

Goodbye, dad.

Love to you both.

[indistinct chatter]

(man over radio)
'Delta squadron fueled up.'

'Ready to go.
Scramble, scramble!'

[engines whirring]

Alright, everyone, listen up.

The commander and I
have prepared a response

to the unconstitutional
actions taken against us

and the Mars colony
by President Clark.

Is Draal's holographic
system online?

Just finished.
Stand by for scan.

You're online. Go ahead.

May I have your attention,
please?

In the last few hours,
we have learned that warships

are coming this way from Earth.

Their orders are to seize
command of Babylon 5 by force.

As Commanding Officer and
Military Governor of Babylon 5

I cannot allow this to happen.

President Clark has violated the

Earth Alliance Constitution
by dissolving the Senate

declaring martial law, and
personally ordering the bombing

of civilian targets
on the Mars colony.

'He is personally responsible
for the deaths'

'of hundreds
of innocent people.'

'Following these attacks,
Orion 7 and Proxima 3'

'have broken away
from the Earth Alliance'

'and declared independence.'

Babylon 5 now joins with them.

As of this moment

Babylon 5 is seceding
from the Earth Alliance.

We will remain
an independent state

until President Clark
is removed from office.

'At the end of
this current crisis'

'anyone who wishes
to leave for Earth'

'is free to do so.'

Meanwhile, for your own safety

I urge everyone to
stay in your quarters

until this is over.

That is all.

Well, we're in it now.

Should we ask Draal to
help with the defense?

No, no,
he's our ace in the hole.

I want to keep him a secret
as long as we can.

This is our fight, not his.

Alright, anyone who wants
to leave, do so now

before you violate any regs.

- You okay?
- I think so.

It was kind of a surprise
but, yeah, I'm okay.

Good.

Captain, request permission
to join Starfury Squadron.

Request denied.

Captain, you're
asking those pilots

to go against everything
they've been trained for

and open fire
on our own ships.

And one of us should
be out there with them.

One of us has to be!

You know I'm right.

Go.

Major Ryan, Captain Hiroshi.

(Ryan)
'Right here, captain.'

(Hiroshi)
'On line.'

Stand by.

[beeping]

Jump-gate activated.

Here they come.

(Smith)
'This is Captain Dexter Smith'

'of the Earth Alliance
Destroyer Agrippa'

'to Babylon 5
and renegade ships.'

'You're ordered to surrender
your commands and'

'prepare to be boarded.'

Launch fighters.

(Smith)
'This is your only warning.'

'If you do not surrender'

'we will be forced
to initiate deadly force.'

This is Captain John Sheridan,
Babylon 5.

You are executing
an illegal order

in violation of the Earth
Alliance Constitution.

These orders have forced
us to declare independence

in order to ensure
the safety of this station.

We don't want a fight.

But if you attempt
to carry out these orders

we will defend ourselves.

Come on, captain, you must
see these orders are wrong.

Leave while you still can.

They've broken contact.

Enemy's Starfuries
moving on attack Vector.

Orders.

Babylon Control
to all Starfury Squadrons.

Stand by to attack.

But do not, repeat,
do not initiate combat.

Let them fire first.

We won't start this fight,
but, by God, we'll finish it.

[intense music]

[indistinct radio chatter]

Forces closing.

Entering firing range.

Close blast doors,
and activate defense grid.

Stand by.

Don't be a fool, Smith.

You've got to see
these are illegal orders.

Don't make us do this.

Enemy fighters have locked on.

Firing.

[gunfire]

Alpha Squadron,
form up on my wing.

Delta Squadron, punch us
a hole through there.

(male #4)
'Confirmed.'

Enemy fighters coming from the
side, trying to outflank us.

Reset forward interceptors
for long range dispersion fire.

Ready.

Fire!

[gunfire]

Maintain approach!

Direct hit to Decks 14 and 15.

Hull integrity down 20 percent.

Bring us in closer to the enemy.

How close?

Right down their throats.

[intense music]

We've got a
breaching pod coming in.

Where's it going?

Hull area, Brown 95.

Garibaldi.

Yeah, I heard. We're in
the area. On our way.

Come on, move, move, move!

We got to cut them off,
before they hit open ground.

Let's go!

Alright, take up position.

We'll cut 'em off right here.

Aw, nuts!

Let's go!

[explosion]

Come on, come on, come on!

[gunfire]

[dramatic music]

Three enemy Furies locking on.

Hang on.

[beeping]

Give me a targeting
solution on the Roanoke

and stand by to redirect
all defensive fire.

[gunfire]

Hang tight.
Coming around for another run.

(Sheridan)
'Commander, the Churchill.'

Hiroshi, get outta there.
Get to the life pods.

(Hiroshi)
'Too late to get out.
Our primary systems are hit.'

'We've got fire
on all decks now.'

'There's nothing
we can do except..'

Hiroshi? Hiroshi!

[automated voice]
'Collision alert.
Collision alert.'

(Sheridan)
'Ivanova, eject.'

I can handle it.

'Eject, damn it! Eject!'

- We're in range.
- Fire!

[explosion]

[grunting]

Fire!

[dramatic music]

Babylon control to Roanoke.

Your ship is out of control.

Surrender, and let us
take on prisoners.

We promise safe passage to..

[explosion]

Damage report.

Damage to all sectors.

They're still fighting
in brown sector.

Get some more troops
down there.

- Hull integrity?
- Not good.

EVA Team's en route.

It's a good thing this
stopped when it did

we couldn't take much more.

[beeping]

Oh, no.

(Drake)
'This is Captain Drake
to Babylon 5.'

'You are ordered to surrender,
prepare to be boarded'

'by order of President Clark.'

Captain.

Jump points forming
right on top of us.

- How many?
- Four.

(Delenn)
'This is Ambassador Delenn
of the Minbari.'

Babylon 5 is under
our protection.

Withdraw...or be destroyed.

(Drake)
'Negative.
We have authority here.'

'Do not force us
to engage your ship.'

Why not?

Only one human captain

has ever survived battle
with a Minbari fleet.

He is behind me.

You are in front of me.

If you value your lives,
be somewhere else.

All ships..

...return to base.

Alright, now,
take it easy, chief.

Just take it easy. There..

There. Put your weight on me.

Give me this.
Give me this.

Alright, alright. Slow it down.

Just take it easy, chief.
You're alright.

How many fighters
did you lose?

Too many.

At least 30 percent
of our Starfuries

are destroyed or disabled.

It's not likely we'll be getting

any more from Earth
for a long time.

Why?

'When the Churchill
was destroyed'

we took on as many
of her pilots as we could.

The launch bases are damaged,
we can't hold many more.

You could give them
a home here

and bring your fighter
squadrons up to full strength.

I think Captain Hiroshi
would've wanted that.

I didn't know her very well

But I'd be honored
to take care of her crew.

[beeping]

Yeah.

(female #1)
'Captain, you wanted
to be notified'

'when Ambassador Delenn
came aboard.'

Thank you. I'll be right there.

When do you have to jump?

'Soon as I get
back to the ship.'

We're both targets now.

If we split up, it'll
give them less incentive

to concentrate their fire here.

And there are still
some ships out there

who've signed on with us.

We have to find them.

Your people performed superbly,
captain. You should be proud.

I am.

Proud of what we did

but not the reason
we had to do it.

Good luck to you, major.

'I don't know how long
we can hold the fort here'

but as long as we can,
you're welcome here.

Thank you.

I think you're
forgetting something.

No. No, I'm not.

After what happened today

I don't think I can
wear that for a while.

Not with a clear conscience.

No, when this is all over
I'll put it on again

but not before.

I didn't expect
to see you here.

How's the leg?

Doc says it'll heal.
Eventually.

He's still checking out Ivanova,
but she'll be out soon.

Figured I better be here
to let you know

we started shipping
people out..

...the ones that want to go

and the ones we're
getting rid of.

Nightwatch, mainly.

We got all the
ones we know about, but..

...that leaves all the
ones we don't.

We're gonna have a problem
with sabotage for a while.

Almost certainly.

- Hello, John.
- Delenn.

Uh..

Listen, I've been trying
to think of some way

to tell you how much
what you did

means to me, and, uh, well..

"...thank you" seems
poor and inadequate.

I don't know how much
this cost you personally

and I suspect I never will

but I want you to know that..

...seeing your face
at that moment..

...was probably the single
finest moment in my life.

It seems that this is the
only home we have left.

How could I abandon,
as you say, my partner?

(Ivanova)
'Ahem!'

Oh, there you are.

So how is she, doc?

Well, we have a stubborn
patient with multiple bruises

and a fractured rib, and a
bump on the back of the head--

I'm fine.

I just thought there's
something you should see.
