Commander's personal log.

The war to liberate Earth
and her colonies continue.

We have more Earth ships
on our side than ever before.

But the battles
are becoming more desperate

the closer we get to home.

Near-proximity hit.

Ten percent damage to the hull.

Auto-repair systems are moving
as fast as they can to keep up.

Status?

TheHydra and theDelphi

are out of commission
and withdrawing.

The rest are moving in
for a counterstrike against us.

Dammit, they're outnumbered.

Their jump engines are down.

They can't beat us,
they can't escape.

Why don't they surrender?

This is the hardest part
of all.

Fighting our own.

Franklin and Lyta
should be on Mars by now

along with their cargo.

Our resources
are stretched to the limit.

Everything's riding on what happens in the next few weeks.

This is endgame.

We'll be okay as long
as nothing goes wrong.

- You took care of it?
- Yeah.

Yeah, it's done.

Captain Sheridan's
father is in custody.

He's being shipped to a
temporary staging area on Mars

so we can keep an eye on him.

I'll contact Sheridan as soon as

everything is in place.

Are you sure he'll come?

Yeah, he'll come.

Good. Good.

Let me know
when he's in custody.

Yeah, alright.

Mr. Garibaldi.

I know this is hard for you

but, uh, it really
is for his own good.

It's for everyone's good.

Once he's out of the picture

President Clark
will lower his guard.

Then we can deal with him
and the Psi Corps.

In the final analysis

once he's better,
Sheridan may even thank you.

Somehow I doubt it.

Well, we'll have to see.

Still, once this is done,
I can tell you the rest.

The truth.

The whole, absolute truth
is only a few days away.

How many people can say that?

I don't know.

But I think the last guy
got 30 pieces of silver

for the same job.

It was the year of fire.

The year of destruction.

The year we took back
what was ours.

It was the year of rebirth.

The year of great sadness.

The year of pain.

And the year of joy.

It was a new age.

It was the end of history.

It was the year
everything changed.

The year is 2261.

The place Babylon 5.

White Star 20is hit.

- How bad?
- Minimal.

They're withdrawing until the
auto-repair systems can cut in.

No, I just don't understand.

They have to know
they can't win.

Why don't they surrender?

They can't wanna die.

Not for Clark.

This is John Sheridan
to Earth Fleet.

I say again,
you are ordered to stand down

and surrender your vessels.

We have no desire
to destroy your ships

but if you continue to fight

we'll have no choice.

'What difference does it make?'

'We're dead anyway!'

It's theCadmus.
Captain Leo Frank.

What are you talking about?

'What do you think
I'm talkin' about?'

'We've been briefed
on your campaign, Sheridan.'

As soon as our forces surrender

our crews are taken out,
executed

and then replaced
by Minbari crews.

Is that what you've been told?

It is, and I believe it.

'Then you're even dumber
than you were at the academy.'

Who's that? Mackie?

Mackie, is that you?

- 'Alive and well.'
- 'But we heard you--'

Yeah, I know what you heard,
and it's a load of crap.

I'm alive. Every member
of my crew is still here.

I don't care what
you've heard about Sheridan.

You know me, Leo.

Everything I tell you
is on the up and up.

Stand down.
You won't be harmed.

'Nothing yet.'

Come on. Don't be stupid.

Picking up a signal.

'They're standing down.'

Sheridan to attack fleet.

They've given
the surrender order.

Cease fire.
I repeat, cease fire.

- Tell the others--
- 'Just a minute!'

There's a jump point opening.

'Agamemnon to Sheridan.'

'Agamemnonto Sheridan.'

That's my old ship.

Sheridan toAgamemnon.

Tell me you're not
here for a fight.

'Negative, captain.'

'We've been chasing you
for days, but you're too fast.'

We couldn't catch you.

We're looking to join up,
if you don't mind.

Mind? Hell, you've just
made my whole day.

Stand by. I'm comin' aboard.

Is that a good idea?

They're my crew.

I trained them myself

including her captain.

I trust them implicitly.

You have the helm, Marcus.

Ah, Stephen, good to see you.

- Good to see you too.
- You got here fast.

Yeah, well, with so many ships
called away to fight our forces

we were able to slip through.

This is Lyta Alexander.
She's a telepath.

Lyta, this is Number One.

Whoa, whoa, wait a minute.

You came through here
a couple of years ago.

You didn't say anything
about being a telepath.

I couldn't. I was on the run
from the Psi Corps.

You should've told us.

And, you,
are you out of your mind?

What the hell are you doing
bringing a teep down here

when we are ready to move?

Are you trying
to compromise my security?

Look, it's okay.

No, it's not okay.

I didn't know about her,
but you did.

You should've warned me.

You can trust her.

Alright, I'd put
my life in her hands.

Fine. That's your choice.

But when it's my life,
I'd like to have a thing or two

to say about it, if it's all
the same to both of you.

Alright, alright. I'm sorry.

If it's a problem,
I can go topside.

I'll find a place to stay
un-until you need me.

No. It's okay.

Now, she needs to stay here
with the rest of us.

We may need her
at a moment's notice.

What for?

Our cargo.

What cargo?

That cargo.

Hold it.

- More telepaths?
- Yep.

- How many?
- A lot.

Mister, you've got one hell
of a lot of explaining to do.

'Captain's on deck.'

As you were.

The place hasn't changed.

Well, not perceptibly, sir.

We have updated the DX-419
tracking system.

It's about time.

Of course, the main reason
for the update

was to make it easier
to find you, sir.

Well, at least some good
has come out of this.

That thing never worked right
from the first day we got it.

- How's the crew?
- Good. Good.

Lieutenant Chase
is out on pregnancy leave.

Miller is back Earthside

recuperating from injuries
he sustained in a firefight

against raiders off of Io
a couple of months ago

and the rest of the crew

has been busy following
your adventures, sir.

Ever since you made it known
that Clark was responsible

for Santiago's assassination.

To tell you the truth, captain

some of us thought maybe
you were out of control.

We just kept
hearing these stories.

I understand.

And then came Nightwatch

and the illegal orders
to take out civilian targets

so we knew who was
telling the truth.

The crew trusts you, captain.

They believe that
you're a pain in the ass, sir

but they trust you.

So we voted to join up with you
as soon as we could.

Well, I can't tell you what
it means to have you aboard.

Makes me think we might
actually win this one.

Well, you haven't lost
one yet, sir.

Oh, I've lost a few.

Just made damn sure
nobody heard about it.

We've got a signal
coming in for you, sir.

Alright, put it through to my..

Main console.

Marcus, what's up?

We're receiving a transmission
from Mr. Garibaldi.

He needs to speak with you.
Says it's important.

Alright. Put him through.

Mr. Garibaldi.

What is it?

Captain, I just thought
you should know.

Okay, look, we're not exactly
on the best terms right now

but they've got your dad, John.

They traced him
through his medication

and picked him up
at a safe house two days ago

just outside of Chicago.

Is he alright?

It's hard to get good
information, but I think so.

Now they're gonna use him
to get to you.

If you don't surrender,
they're gonna kill him.

'Now, look,
we've got a couple of days'

'before they can move on this'

and we should be able
to break him out.

And I've got some people
who can help

but they want a meeting.

They know your rep

but thanks to
Clark's police state

they're afraid of being set up.

So it's gotta be
just you and me.

Nobody else.

Come on, John, if we're gonna
do this, we got to move fast.

I need an answer.
I need it now.

Captain, I don't
think you should..

If it were your father
what would you do?

Alright.

I'll need to verify this
through my people.

'But if it's true..'

'...you tell 'em
I'll be there..'

...alone.

Captain, I strongly object.

- Your objection is noted.
- 'I mean it, John.'

'And I don't like the way
this thing sounds'

'I don't like the way it looks,
I don't like anything about it.'

- 'It stinks of a setup.'
- Look, Susan.

Michael and I have had
our problems lately

but he has never given me reason
to think he meant me harm.

Well, maybe so, but what if
his information is wrong?

It's not.

I just got word
from my contacts on Earth.

They got my dad two days ago,
just like Michael said.

'Well, at least let me
send Marcus with you.'

Marcus needs to be
here as your liaison

with the rest of the fleet
while I am gone.

Now, I will listen to what
Garibaldi has to say

and if there's any way
we can make this work

we'll find it.

Wh-what do you mean, my liaison?

I want you to take my place
during my absence.

You take White Star 40
and get here as fast as you can.

- But shouldn't Delenn?
- 'No, she's not back yet.'

'We need to keep this
a clean fight.'

That means human commanding
officers only.

Last time an assault
fleet came to Earth

it was under Minbari command.

We don't want the folks
back home thinkin'

the Minbari war
is happening all over again.

- It has to be one of us.
- Alright.

I guess you have to
try and get him back.

I have to.

If I don't

I'll regret it
the rest of my life.

Take care, Susan.

'I'll see you soon.'

Are you sure you want
to go along with this?

We've got
the current access codes.

We can get in
and out of the area

surrounding the colony
without setting off

the early warning system.

Alright.

As soon as we make
the jump from hyperspace

I'll take down
one of your thunderbolts

land just outside the colony.

If everything goes right, I'll
be in and out in a few hours.

You'll have the best
fighter we've got.

Stand by to change course.

'Standing by.'

'Transfer navigation
to beacon 1-1-9-1-7-6.'

'Aye, sir.'

Maybe I should just go.

No, no. It's alright.

Says you.

What?

You really don't know?

Well, I'll bet she does.

Well, in that case,
you only have to let me know

what the hell is goin' on.

She can do it.

Someone's dumped several dozen
cryonic freezers on me

and I have to find
room for them.

I have no time for this.

She's talking about
the new bloodhound units.

The telepaths assigned
to the military divisions

occupying Mars.

Anyone suspected of being
in the resistance is scanned.

They're very deep scans.

The trouble with deep scans
is they can cause

heart attacks,
seizures, strokes..

There's been several deaths.

She's right to be upset.

Well, how did you
find out about this?

Once I got taken off the rogue
list, I began to hear things.

But we always keep it
inside the Corps.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

"Always?"
This has happened before?

Lyta.

When I interned
with the Psi Corps..

...there were
a number of murders.

Someone was killing
commercial telepaths.

And the mundanes didn't care.

For them, it was just
one less teep to worry about.

So the Psi Corps
took care of it.

What'd you do?

What we had to.

We scanned anyone
who might've had a lead.

No warrant, no permission

and no trace.

Just gaps in their memory

missing hours, headaches.

Did you find him?

- Did you, uh..
- No.

That would have been too quick.

And we couldn't go to the police
because we didn't wanna

explain how we found him.

Somewhere on
Beta Colony there is..

...an institution.

In one room of that
institution there is a man..

...who spends his days
and nights screaming at..

...things only he can see.

Things we planted in his mind.

They have to keep him in
a straitjacket 24 hours a day

or he'd claw his own eyes out

just to make it stop.

My God.

When it was over, I-I
transferred to commercial work.

I wanted out.

The Corps took me in
when I was just a few years old.

They taught me
what a telepath was.

What we could do.

And all that time I'd never
been afraid of who we were.

Until that day.

When we did what we had to do
because no one else would.

Someday there's gonna be a war

between telepaths
and mundanes, Stephen.

I just hope
I don't live to see it.

Maybe, uh..

Maybe after the captain
takes care of President Clark

we're gonna work
on this, okay?

We're gonna, we're gonna
build some bridges

a-and then find a more positive
way of dealing with the Corps.

You're going to
have a long wait.

We just received
a coded message from Babylon 5.

It's about Sheridan.

I hope he told you what to do
with those frozen telepaths

'cause it looks like
you're on your own for a while.

Delenn. Lennier.
I'm glad to see you.

I was just about to leave.

It's good to be back, commander.

- Is there a problem?
- I'm afraid so.

President Clark's people
have found John's father.

They're holding him captive.

Mr. Garibaldi thinks
he can help.

The captain's en route
right now.

He wants me to take over
the fleet in his absence.

I was hoping you can
keep an eye on things

around here until I get back.

Of course.

We'll do everything we can.

- Goodbye.
- Thank you.

Do you think
the captain's alright?

He knows what he's doing.
He'll be fine.

Assuming Mr. Garibaldi
can still be trusted.

Hello, Michael.

Captain, I was starting to think

you weren't gonna make it here.

Have you heard anything
else about my father?

Well, just that he's being held
at a facility here on Mars.

He's not being
heavily guarded right now

'cause Clark hasn't announced
that he's been captured yet.

So we need to move
before that happens?

Yeah.

Alright.

And what do you want me to do?

You've already done it.

It's a trank.
Don't fight it.

Just give it up,
or they're gonna hurt you!

'Susan..'

What's going on?

You all look like
a Pak'Ma'Ra just ate your cat.

We picked this up
off the ISN feed

just as you were
coming out of hyperspace.

We interrupt
our regular programming

for this important announcement.

The leader of the renegade fleet

'that has been attempting
to destabilize Earth for months'

'has finally been
located and detained.'

Captain John Sheridan,
formerly of Earthforce

was captured earlier today by
forces loyal to President Clark

and is now being held
in a secure facility.

Unlike many of his victims

he is being given
proper care and treatment

'until a hearing
can be convened.'

John!

Something's happened.

Wade just brought me a message
from President Clark.

He's ecstatic
over Sheridan's capture.

Sends his thanks
and his compliments.

He seems to think
the whole resistance movement

will fall apart now.

He's wrong.

Possibly.

But it'll take them
a while to regroup

and that'll give us the time we
need to get everything in place.

And what's that?

You said you'd tell me
the rest of it when I proved

my loyalty when
Sheridan was in custody.

Well, I held up my end of the
bargain. Now I want the truth!

Fair enough.

Wade.

We're engaged in a very
dangerous game, Mr. Garibaldi.

In this game

you have to pick
your target very carefully

because you only have one shot.

And this is much, much
bigger than you suspect.

President Clark
isn't the real problem.

He's trivial.

In one way or another
he'll be gone in a few years.

But the telepaths
he put in power, the Psi Corps

those will be with us forever.

That'sthe real danger.

If information is power

then telepaths represent
the greatest threat

to freedom we've ever seen.

We have to deal with that

or face the very
real possibility

of our own extinction.

The danger before us
is nothing less

than the death of human liberty
and human thought.

Do you recognize this?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's the package
I helped Wade smuggle

past customs on Babylon 5.

Lise said it was
a cure for telepaths

against some kind
of genetic mutation.

Lise. A very good woman.

She believes me
when I tell her these things

but, uh, lately..

...I couldn't tell her
the truth because I knew

that the Psi Corps
were after this.

They don't know what's going on

but they do know
enough to be worried.

And that's the reason
why you didn't come yourself

and why you had me fire Lyta.

Any telepath is
a potential risk to my work.

If they knew for certain
what was going on

I'd be dead in five minutes.

This vial does contain
a cure, Mr. Garibaldi.

It took my people
three years to develop it.

Almost as long as it took us
to develop the virus itself.

This virus is encoded
to embed itself in the gene

that activates
a telepath's abilities.

It's airborne,
100 percent contagious

and utterly harmless
to normals.

Only telepaths are susceptible.

Once infected,
they have to receive

injections of the
antidote every two weeks.

If they miss
even one injection..

They die.

And your people and the
government control the antidote.

It's insurance against the day

when they try to do to us
what we've done to them.

Turn us into
second-class citizens.

If they try it
we simply withhold the antidote.

And the net result is you
create a slave race to serve..

...or die.

It's the tyranny of evolution.

Sooner or later,
you have a species

that will have a genetic
or technological advantage

and that species
will always conquer

species without that advantage.

Carthage, the triumph
of the Homo-sapiens

over the Neanderthal
showed us that.

Now what do we have?

We have Homo-superior
versus Homo-sapien.

On a level playing field

Homo-superior wins every time.

Unless we cheat.

I turned this company into

one of the biggest medical
research facilities in existence

because I wanted
to help people, not harm them.

But I won't stand by
and let telepaths

turn into a ruling class!

So, first we remove that danger.

Then we'll deal
with President Clark.

Telepaths are his power base.

Neutralize them,
and you take away

the instrument
of terror he's used..

...to suppress
and intimidate others.

Does any of this

pose a problem for you,
Mr. Garibaldi?

No. No, it doesn't.

I think
what you're doing is right.

Telepaths have
an unfair advantage.

I think it's right
that we make

an advantage of our own
in return.

Exactly.

I am very tired.

It's been a long day.

But we made a good beginning.

With Sheridan out of the way

Clark will relax and..

...I expect we can start moving
the virus out in a few days.

Three weeks after that,
according to our projections

of the infection rate..

...the telepath prob..

The telepath problem..

...will finally be over.

Now that you know, you'll have
to stay on the compound

until the virus
starts moving out.

I'm sure you can understand
the danger.

Michael.

I heard what Bill told you.

I-I can't go back there,
not now.

'You gotta help me stop him.'

What he's doing, I understand

why he's doing it,
but it's wrong.

I've felt that something
was going on for a while

but I had no idea.

'Michael?'

'Michael,
are you listening to me?'

'You've gotta do something.'

You have to leave here.

- But I--
- Now!

But what am I going to do?

Go home.

Hello, Mr. Garibaldi.

I received your signal.

Now, tell me what you know.

All of it.

This virus is encoded
to embed itself

in the gene that activates
a telepath's abilities.

It's airborne,
100 percent contagious

and utterly harmless to normals.

Once infected,
they have to receive injections

of the antidote every two weeks.

If they miss
even one injection..

They die.

Well..

Thank you. Not that
you had much choice.

I knew there were forces
out there with plans

for my telepaths but this..

I had no idea.

The sheer scope of it.

Well, we'll stop it now,
of course.

In our own way.

'I can feel you, you know.'

'The real you.'

Beating at the inside
of your skull

screaming to get out

to know what's going on.

For a long time,
I've been debating

what to do when this day came.

Do I let you know
what happened to you

or do I leave you like this..

'...trapped in a prison
of meat and flesh and bone..'

'...forever?'

I've decided to be magnanimous,
Mr. Garibaldi.

Not that you'll appreciate it.

Because you have prevented
a new holocaust..

...the enslavement and murder
of several million telepaths.

Though I doubt very much
you'll appreciate that, either.

Go back, Mr. Garibaldi.

Go back..

And remember.

Movin' into position.
Everybody hang tight.

The Shadows
had come to Babylon 5

and Sheridan
had gone to Z'Ha'Dum.

So why don't you just kill me?

It doesn't work.

Somebody'd just come
around and replace you.

They knew there were three
people who could replace him

Delenn, Ivanova and you.

Given your
checkered background..

...they thought
you would be the easiest

to turn to their side.

What the hell?

Once Sheridan was dead

Ivanova and Delenn
would be eliminated.

They left the station intact

on the theory that it could be used for their purposes.

And you,
they took back with them

to...adjust you.

By this time I knew they
had infiltrated the Corps.

So when they pulled in
some of my people

to help in your adjustment

I was able to intervene.

Not so much on your behalf
as my own.

This virus that kills
only telepaths..

...I'd bet good money
it's Shadow technology.

They probably got it to him
through third parties

helped his people
work out the details.

We both know that telepaths
were a threat to the Shadows

one they wouldn't mind
eliminating.

It's ingenious, really.

They played Clark's drive
for power on one side

and Edgar's fear
of telepaths on the other

leaving us in the middle.

Controlled or dead.

But let's get back to you.

I arranged to have
you rerouted

to our research facility
here on Mars.

Then we got to work.

Alright, I want
a complete neural workup.

I wanna know all the soft
points where we can go in

without disturbing
the neural landscape.

We can't leave any fingerprints.

He may have to pass
a telepathic scan.

You don't want us to do
a full reprogram on him?

Unnecessary.

By nature, Mr. Garibaldi
is rebellious

stubborn, and suspicious.

He has an innate distrust
of authority figures.

'And he's very good at
figuring out when a conspiracy'

is taking place and tracking
it back to its source.

We need that part of him.

So I don't wanna risk
tampering with it.

We don't have to reprogram him

just accentuate
his natural instincts.

More rebellious,
more stubborn, more suspicious

of his fellow officers.

Then all we have to do
is nudge him

in the right direction
from time to time

and let nature run its course.

After we finished,
we had to make sure

that you didn't remember
anything we had done to you.

That was the hard part.

We were, shall we say,
less than gentle.

I said I don't remember
anything! Nothing!

Once we felt it was safe

we put enough
information out there

to let your people find you.

After that,
all we could do was wait

and hope for the best.

It worked even better
than I could have imagined.

You resigned your position,
something I hadn't expected.

But it put you in the perfect
position to be recruited

by William Edgars

and it isolated you from the people who cared about you

and might try to help you.

I've decided to resign
as head of security

effective immediately.

From time to time, we updated

your conditioning
continued to point you

where we needed you to go.

Until, in the end,
the old Garibaldi was gone

and the new one
worked only for us.

You would do anything to find
what we wanted you to find

even sell out Sheridan.

Your final orders
were to report back

when you had
all the information we needed.

So, now the question becomes

'what do I do with you now that
I have no further use for you?'

I could kill you, I suppose.

In some ways,
it might be a mercy.

By now your friends know
that you betrayed Sheridan.

So, as the saying goes

you can't go home again.

And your current employer

is not gonna be
around much longer.

Or..

I could leave you
just like this..

...forever.

Whatever you think of me,
Mr. Garibaldi

I'm not capricious or cruel.

I used you
because I had no other choice.

I have what I want.

My interest in you is over.

We'll be docking in a moment.

I've just sent the all-clear
signal telepathically.

After I'm gone,
you'll be able to move again.

You'll remember it all.

You'll be yourself again.

You can try to tell
the others what happened..

...but under the circumstances

I doubt very much
anyone will believe you.

Be seeing you, Mr. Garibaldi.

No!

Did you get through?
Is it true?

They've got the captain,
alright.

It was a setup..

And Garibaldi was behind
the whole thing.

'I just heard he's tried
to contact Babylon 5.'

You tell Corwin
to refuse his signals.

There's nothing that
he has to say to me right now

that I have the slightest
interest in hearing.

And you tell them that
if he turns up on the station

I want that
son-of-a-bitch shot on sight.

- Susan.
- I mean it.

What's our status?

The other ships want to know
what we're going to do now.

We finish what we started.

If Clark thinks
this is gonna slow us down

he's in for a very big surprise.

The captain once told me

"The person is expendable,
the job is not."

We keep going.

'Lise! Lise!'

Lise?

Lise!

'Lise?'

Wade.

Wade, what happened?

Five of them.

Hit us outta nowhere.

They knew.

Where's Lise?

'Where?'

I don't know. She wasn't here.

She was gone
when they got here.

She..

Wade?

Oh, dammit.

'This is Alison Higgins
with an update'

on our earlier stories.

President Clark declared today

a day of celebration and rest

noting that the capture
of renegade Earthforce captain

John Sheridan signals that

the war of aggression
against Earth is unraveling.

Sheridan continues to be
well-fed and well-treated.

Now that he has been freed
of alien influences

he has reportedly indicated feelings of remorse and regret

for his actions
against his own Homeworld.

We hope to have more
on this soon.

In other news, William Edgars

founder of Edgars Industries

one of earth's ten largest
medical research corporations

was found dead
this morning along with

at least one of his staff.

Two personal bodyguards outside the estate were also killed.

Preliminary reports from
investigators on the scene

indicate that the resistance
may have been responsible

for the attack as they continue their assault against business

and political targets.

Nothing is known
yet concerning

the whereabouts
of his wife, Lise Edgars.

Finally, ISN sources
within Earthdome

have indicated
that Captain Sheridan

may have been turned in by
his own former head of security

Chief Warrant Officer
Michael Garibaldi.

If this is true, we at ISN

want to convey our personal
thanks and gratitude

to a true hero of the people.
