Yes?

Uh, Delenn, my apologies for waking you

but when I saw your message I thought I had

to contact you at once to
see if there's a problem.

What problem?

We would never let someone of your stature

go without assistance for very long.

And we're fully prepared to send along

as many potential replacements as you like

uh, knowing that you've always been

so wonderfully egalitarian.

Uh, we can even fill the position

with three assistants, one from each caste--

Ruell. What are you talking about?

- I sent you no message.
- Oh, you didn't?

No! And what is this about a replacement?

I'm sorry, I thought you knew.

Uh, the message is a request,
you see, in your name

uh, for the replacement of your assistant,
Lennier.

'He has made arrangements to return home.'

What? For how long?

Well, I believe the request stated

that his return would be permanent.

No! No, no!

This is completely unacceptable!

- Londo, maybe we should--
- Please!

Uh, do you know what this is, hm?

No, I can see you do not.

You have that vacant look
in your eyes that says

"Hold my head to your ear,
you'll hear the sea."

This is Brivari, very old Brivari

very expensive Brivari.

Do you understand Brivari, hm?

'No, it is a delicate drink'

and the flavor is extremely fragile.

It must be kept at a constant
temperature at all times!

If you were to impound it

and stick it in a hot, little room

in a matter of hours,
the flavor would bleed away

and vanish like the synapses in your brain!

Lo-Londo, please.

I'm sorry, ambassador, but I have my orders.

You see, we've had a problem
with infestation recently.

So on all incoming foods

there's a minimum three-day impound.

Well, do you see, Vir?

You give someone a little
authority and a badge

and he thinks he runs the universe.

Five years I have been on this station

and never once has my shipment
of Brivari been quarantined

for health inspection.

This is an insult!

Londo, please,
let me try to handle this, okay?

Please?

M-Mr. Allan, may I, please?

You are more than welcome to try, Vir.

No, here, take my shoe.

It will be as useful to you as he is.

Mr. Allan.

I hope you understand, but the ambassador

'has been under a great
deal of strain lately.'

'And, you know,
he is about to become the emperor, so..'

'I don't care if he's been declared'

'high eminent favah of the Imperial Galaxy'

'the Brivari stays here.'

What the..

Londo!

Zack to Medlab.

Here we got an emergency down in Impound 31.

Get me a med team down here stat!

And so it begins.

- There's a hole in your mind.
- What do you want?

No one here is exactly what he appears.

Nothing's the same anymore.

Commander Sinclair's being reassigned.

Why don't you eliminate
the entire Narn homeworld?

I see a great hand

reaching out of the stars.

President Clark has signed
a decree today declaring..

These orders have forced us
to declare independence.

Unless your people get off their

encounter-suited butts and do something..

You are the one who was.

If you go to Z'ha'dum, you will die.

Why are you here?
Do you have anything worth living for?

I think of my beautiful city in flames.

Giants in the playground.

Get the hell out of our galaxy!

We are here to place
President Clark under arrest.

- Londo? Be careful with him.
- Dr. Franklin, they're here.

'Poison control team to Medlab.'

Alright, I want him on the scanners fast!

I want a toxology report in two minutes.
Now, go.

- Are you sure he was poisoned?
- Yes, yes.

I only left him for a moment.

He opened up a bottle of Brivari

took a few drinks and then collapsed!

The bottles were marked
for him and nobody else?

Watch the blood pressure, it's dropping now!

- Where's the bottle now?
- Security took them.

They're doing a chemical analysis on it.

Alright, alright. Alright.

There's nothing else you can do right now.

Well, let us handle it, alright?

As soon as I find anything,
I'll let you know.

- But, doctor--
- Go, we're on it.

Let's go, people!

'Toxology lab,
stand by for emergency analysis.'

- Good morning, Delenn.
- Lennier.

You have a very busy schedule for the day.

A representative of Kepti
has asked to speak with you

about joining the Alliance.

He wants to get your permission
before speaking with Sheridan.

'After that, you have four meetings--'

When were you going to tell me?

- Tell you what?
- That you are leaving.

Ruell called this morning

about helping me find your replacement.

I did not think they would move so fast.

I was going to tell you tonight,
Delenn, after dinner.

Why?

Because bad news improves on a good meal.

- 'Valen said that--'
- Lennier.

I know.

Because you don't..

I feel..

...that you don't need me here anymore,
Delenn.

That is not true, Lennier.

Yes, it is.

You have Sheridan now.

He is now your other half.

And..

...I'm in the way.

I'm not comfortable here anymore, Delenn.

It's not your fault and it's not his fault.

I can't explain it any more than that, but..

I know why.

So..

I think it would be best for both of us

if I were elsewhere.

You swore yourself to my side.

And I will be there, Delenn

when you need me or if you..

'I've contacted the Rangers'

'and asked to join them.'

They said yes.

I'll leave for Minbar tomorrow.

The Rangers? Why?

Lennier,
you know that that is extremely dangerous.

With, with Marcus gone..

...I-I felt the loss of a part of myself.

Perhaps I will find it again

by replacing him in the Anla'Shok.

And perhaps in time..

...I will earn your respect.

You have always had my respect, Lennier.

Yes, in most ways..

...but I only wish to add a few more..

...to become more of what
you might want me to be

more of what you might find.

My-my decision is-is made, Delenn.

I will return to help and to visit

in between training cycles.

This is the calling of my heart, Delenn.

I have to follow it.

You, above all, should understand that.

- Vir.
- Mr. Garibaldi.

I just came back from Medlab.
They asked me to find you.

- How is he?
- He's not good, Vir.

- He's in critical condition.
- I don't believe this.

What is it with this place?

I mean, last week someone
tries to assassinate Sheridan

now someone tries to poison Londo. God!

What is wrong with you people?

Don't you have anything else better to do?

Why don't you get a hobby,
read a book or something--

- Vir!
- What?

He wasn't poisoned.

Wait a second. I saw him, I saw--

I know what you saw, but he wasn't poisoned.

What he drank had absolutely
nothing to do with it.

He's had a heart attack, Vir, a bad one.

What?

Which heart?

The left one.

The Centauri have a bi-pulmonary system.

'Two hearts,
one on either side of the sternum.'

'Right heart provides most of the force'

behind their blood circulation

and the left heart cleanses the blood

almost the same way our human kidney works

also gives the additional push needed

to get the blood through
to the smaller capillaries.

Now, the right heart is one solid muscle.

I can fix that, no problem.

It's the left heart.

A system of very fine veins

thousands of them, all in one large,
knotted structure.

And you can't get to the inner ones

without cutting through the outer ones,
am I right?

That's correct,
which only makes the problem worse.

So what can you do?

I've thinned his blood to help

it move past the blockage

but it's, it's not just a matter

of junk in the way.

I mean,
his arterial system has basically shut down

from all the stress and anxiety

'and pressure he's been under.'

The veins carrying the
blood through his left heart

have contracted to nearly
half their normal size.

Now, I've tried muscle relaxants

I've sent nano sects in
to cut from the inside

but nothing seems to work.

Have you notified Centauri Prime?

Yeah,
they're sending an artificial heart system.

It may be able to help

but it's gonna take three days to get here.

Now, at best, I can keep him going

for the next 24 hours on life support.

So unless something happens on its own

he's gonna be dead by the time it gets here.

- Any change?
- No.

Oh, it is strange to see him like this.

He's always so alive, so full of energy

even when he's being annoying.

Y-you know, I don't think I've
ever seen him for two minutes

when he wasn't talking
or yelling at someone.

- It's a strange thing.
- Hm.

In the five years since I arrived

I have felt pity for him, anger

he has made me laugh.

I have even liked him from time to time

as much as I haven't wanted to

but I have never felt sorry for him..

'...until now.'

I would miss him, uh, if he left us, John.

I know, so would I.

Uh, speaking of going away

I got your message about Lennier.

- 'Is there anything I can do?'
- Almost certainly not.

Is it because of me?

I mean..

In part, um, I think so.

Yeah, I was afraid of that.

Well, as we say back on Earth..

...three is a crowd.

On Minbar, three is sacred.

Well, I don't think I'm ready
to handle that one, Delenn.

Is there any chance you can
talk him out of leaving?

No. He must follow the calling of his heart.

And if he's not?

I mean, if he's just running away

to avoid the situation here?

The universe will teach
him what he needs to know.

Yeah, I guess.

Well, it is getting late.
We need to get some sleep.

We've got a long day ahead of us tomorrow.

What about Londo?

Stephen's done all he can.

If Londo makes it through the night,
he has a chance.

If not..

I mean, medical science can only go so far

after that it's all up to the patient.

He has to fight this one out on his own.

Whether he makes it through the night or not

depends on him.

Good luck, Mollari.

Good luck.

Good luck, Mollari.

Good luck.

Delenn?

Have you seen Delenn?

I thought I..

I thought that I had heard..

Have you seen Delenn?

Is she here?

Delenn? Have you..

I thought that I had heard..

Delenn?

Please, sit.

My future?

Your past.

You're dying, Londo.

I know.

Do you want to live?

What difference does it make, hm?

Perhaps..

Perhaps it's better this way.

I have dreamed my own death for 20 years now,
you know?

Perhaps it's better if I die now

if only to, to spite fate.

Do you want to live?

What difference does it make?

Is there anyone back home who truly cares..

...if I live or die?

Almost certainly not.

Do you want to live?

I'm not allowed to ask again.

Yes.

Yes, I want to live.

That is not enough.

Can you see this card?

No. There's too much blood.

Yes.

You said wanting to live was not enough.

What more is there?

- A word.
- What word?

Why won't you tell me?

If that is all I need, just a word

why won't you tell me?

If you will not tell me, why am I here?

What is this place?

I don't understand.

'Yes. You do.'

Delenn?

- You couldn't sleep, either.
- No.

I heard about your situation.

I heard about yours.

As Mr. Garibaldi would say

it's been one hell of a day.

Oh, yes, a hell of a day.

And a hell of a year.

A hell of a five years.

A hell of a life.

You win.

What kind of a drink is that?

I'm not sure,
the bartender called it a Shirley Temple.

Interesting.

I've studied many Earth religions, um..

I don't think I've ever heard
of that particular temple.

Me, neither, but it's real good.

Well,
then I shall make it a point to visit it

on my next trip to Earth.

Now, you should sleep.

I won't be getting much sleep tonight.

What time do you leave in the morning?

Early.

Well..

Then I'll catch up with
you on your next visit.

- Take care, Lennier.
- And you, Vir.

So tell me, Sheridan.

Do you ever get used to it?

Used to what?

Being dead?

Yeah, I wasn't dead very long, but..

Well,
just long enough to know I didn't like it.

You know,
I have been dead many times before.

Yeah?

Dead to my first wife

the only one I truly loved, a dancer.

My family said

that I had married beneath my station

and that if I did not divorce her

that I would be dead to them

to the family title, position, money.

I remember the look in
her eyes when I told her.

I died again that night.

All of the bottles here are empty?

The metaphor's getting a bit thick,
don't you think?

I hear,
you once had a dream about your own death.

Yes, and it's a strange thing

because I always had this sense

that you were going to be there.

That part never made sense, though.

It is strange, isn't it

that you and I both know that we are dying?

Lorien gave you back your life

but you still have less than 20 years left.

You know, we're all dying, Londo

20 years, 50 years,
100 years, doesn't matter.

What matters is what we do
while we're waiting around

how we live out the seconds in between.

Ah.

Well, I have not done very well

in that regard, have I?

No, you haven't.

People are not being very
charitable around here.

There's a time for charity
and a time for truth.

You're almost out of both.

Sheridan.

I..

I don't want to die.

Then turn around.

- No.
- Turn around.

I can't. Don't you understand?

I can't!

Then you'll die.

Goodbye, Londo.

I'll see you soon.

Wait. No.

'Don't leave me here!'

'No!'

Alright, talk to me.

What's happening?

His condition's deteriorating.

His blood pressure's dropping

his heart rate's unstable.

Alright, 50 CCs of Hydromorphozine.

That could kill him.

He is dead if we don't. Now, let's go.

Come on.

Status?

Uh, uh, heart rate's stabilizing..

...for now

but his system is under tremendous strain.

He can't take much more of this.

I know.

- Do you wanna get some rest?
- No.

I can call you if his condition changes.

No, I couldn't sleep now, anyway.

It'll be morning in a few hours.

Might as well stay here
and see what happens.

A deathwatch?

Maybe.

We'll just have to wait and see.

I don't want to die.

Please, Great Maker.

I don't want to die..

...not like this, please.

Not like this.

You're afraid.

Yes.

Then don't die.

Don't die.

I don't think I have any
choice in the matter, Vir.

You do have a choice, Londo..

...but you have to make it now.
There's not much time.

What's wrong with me?

What's wrong with you

is you.

Your heart can no longer bear
the weight of your conscience.

There's nothing wrong with my conscience.

No? Then turn around.

Why should I, hm?

I saw my death in a dream. I was an old man.

How do I know I won't survive this?

Perhaps this will pass,
and I will get better.

This dream is prophecy.

Prophecy is a guess that comes true.

When it doesn't, it's a metaphor.

You could put a gun to your head
tomorrow and pull the trigger

and then the dream is just a dream

and the prophecy is just a metaphor..

...and so are you.

'You're out of time, Londo. Turn around.'

I can't. I don't know what he wants from me.

'Yes, you do.'

The thing that has eaten away at your heart

until it could not endure
the pain a moment longer.

You must let go of this

or you will die here, alone, now.

Perhaps..

Perhaps that is for the best, then.

No...not for the best.

Why not?

Because..

...I will miss you.

And I suppose..

...that I would miss you.

I need a trauma team in Medlab 1, stat!

He's going into shock. This could be it.

Now, Mollari, now we end this.

'You know this place, don't you?'

Yes.

You think this will be yours soon.

I don't want it.

Because of the dream that you will die here?

Because you know you're not
worthy of being called emperor?

Because you are afraid of failure?

It doesn't matter.

- Yes, it does.
- I don't want it!

You don't deserve it! That's the truth!

That's what you don't want to face.

Look around, Mollari, you look around!

Do you remember?

Ah, Mollari,
I was just about to send for you.

Go ahead, gentlemen.

- It's time to go.
- Go? Where?

'To the Narn homeworld, of course.'

"To the Narn homeworld, of course."

You came with ships and guns

and mass drivers.

You plucked asteroids out of near orbit

and sent them plunging down onto our cities

killing men and women and children

onto the sick and the
infirm and the innocent!

It was not my idea, I didn't even know.
It was Refa.

It was not my fault. I said--

You said...nothing.

You said nothing!

You said...nothing!

- Nothing.
- Leave me alone!

- No. Look at me.
- I can't!

Look at me.

Do you remember this place?

Yes.

I was tortured in this place. I was whipped.

Emperor Cartagia wanted to hear me scream.

Yes, and if you did not scream

the 40th stroke of the whip would kill you

'and your people would be slaves forever.
Yes.'

You remember.

- Yes.
- You were there!

Yes!

And you said..

...nothing.

'...thirty four'

thirty five, thirty six..

Nothing.

...thirty seven, thirty eight..

Nothing!

...thirty nine..

One word, Mollari.

One word was all that was required of you.

'It would not have mattered.'

It wouldn't have changed anything!

- It would not have stopped!
- You're wrong, Mollari.

Whether it was me or my world

whether it was a total stranger

or your worst enemy, you were a witness!

It doesn't matter if they'd stop!

It doesn't matter if they'd listen!

You had an obligation to speak out!

I couldn't!

And that's why you don't
deserve to be emperor.

That's why you don't deserve to live.

No.

'You're only moments away from the grave,
Mollari.'

There must be something I can do.

Only a word was required of you

the first time we stood here

'and only a word is required now.'

No. No!

One word.

I want..

...to hear it.

Oh, he's having a seizure.
Let's get him secured!

Heart rate's going through the roof!

Alright, stand by. We may have to defib.

One..

'...two, three..'

...four..

He's in full cardiac arrest!

'Alright, get ready to hit him!'

...eight, nine..

...ten, eleven..

- Charging!
- Stand by!

- Ready!
- Clear!

...fifteen

sixteen, seventeen..

...eighteen..

- Nothing! Ready!
- Clear!

...twenty three, twenty four..

...twenty five..

Come on. Clear!

...thirty..

...thirty four, thirty five

thirty six..

Clear!

...thirty eight..

...thirty nine!

- Alright. I think we got him.
- Yeah, for now.

Alright, you listen to me now.
Don't you do this to me.

Don't you die on me. You hear me?

Don't you die on me. Come on!

I don't want to die.

'Then don't.'

Who are you?

Perhaps I am a delusion

caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain.

Perhaps I am the piece of myself

that telepathically joined
with you once long ago

and decided to stay.

And perhaps I am your conscience..

...which can only get your attention

by taking on a face other than your own

and striking you down in the one place

where you are still vulnerable.

Why?

Why are you doing this to me?

You want to believe you've changed.

You want to feel good about yourself.

You're not sorry for what you did!

You're just sorry that you got caught

that you almost destroyed
your homeworld because of it.

- That's not true.
- Well, then prove it.

'Just a word, Mollari.'

'That's all it takes.'

I've never apologized

for anything in my life.

Yes. So I see.

It's your life, Mollari.

Make of it what you will.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry..

I am sorry.

I'm sorry!

- 'I think so.'
- 'It's his stomach..'

Condition stabilizing.

We're getting normal
operation of the left heart.

Good, good.

That's it.

Looking good.

G'Kar.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

G'Kar.

'I'm sorry.'

They call this food?

Even a Pak'ma'ra wouldn't eat this.

Londo, the doctor said--

I know what the doctor said.

It was my heart that betrayed me,
not my ears.

You are going to have to change your diet,
Londo

and you are gonna have to
cut back on the stress!

Yes, well, that doesn't seem very likely

as long as I am still here, yes?

And if I go home, there is even more stress.

So there you are.

No, Vir, the universe is an evil place

but at least it seems
to have a sense of humor

about the whole thing.

Well, I suppose I should let you rest now.

Oh, Vir, before you go..

I was doing some reading and I, I wondered

if you had ever heard about this.

Apparently,
according to some of our folktales

if the spirit of a
Centauri ends up in a body

that is not worthy of its presence

it can choose to separate

to, to cause the death of the body

so that it can then move on

to a worthier host.

Right.

Right, I-I-I remember that.

It's, it's a very big struggle

a-and apparently, the person involved

is either permanently
changed by the experience

or he dies.

'Of course, this is only supposed to happen'

when the higher spirit is a real,
real high one.

I mean, we're talking major angelic here.

A-and, and the person that it's stuck inside

is a complete monster.

I mean, just nasty and corrupt

and disgusting. It's..

N-not that I was..

Because obviously, you are..

You know, you know, I really have to go.

To your question.

Yes, I do remember that story.

I heard it ever since I was a child.

Interesting.

I didn't.

Not even a goodbye, Lennier?

No.

Never goodbye.

I'm yours forever, Delenn

'heart, body and soul.'

I will see you again in a little while.

And with luck..

...I will perhaps be a better person.

That is not possible, Lennier..

...but you're welcome to try.

Be well..

...my good and dear friend.

And you.
