[theme music]

(Michael)
'Zack..'

What do we got?

Another 200 refugees
in from sector 29.

We got five
more ships due in

by the end of the day.

Now we're turning
the healthy ones around

as fast as we can
and sending them

on to the Narn homeworld..

But the injured, they're filling
up every bed in Medlab.

Now, if we could even just ship
out some of the injured--

Ah, no can do.
Captain's orders.

They don't leave
until they're fit to travel.

Chief, I understand
how he feels.

You see them come through here
you can't help

but feel for them,
but we're swamped.

Now, can't you
at least talk to him?

[instrumental music]

Mr. Morden.

Vir.

I was expecting
Ambassador Mollari.

Uh, he was recalled
to Centauri Prime

for consultations
about the war effort.

And how is your war going?

Why do you ask me questions

when you already
know the answers?

[chuckles]

Just making conversation.

Here. Sit.

Sit.

You don't like me,
do you, Vir?

I find this surprising.

After all, my associates
and I are doing

everything we can
to help your people

reclaim their place
in the galaxy.

I should think
you'd be grateful.

Is there a reason
you sent for me?

I sent for Ambassador Mollari

but you're here, he's not,
and it can wait.

'If restoring the Centauri
republic means nothing to you'

what does?

What do you want?

I'd like to live
just long enough

to be there when see them
cut off your head

and stick it on a pike
as a warning

to the next ten generations
that some favors

come with too high a price.

I want to look up into
your lifeless eyes

and wave like this.

Can you and your associates

arrange that for me, Mr. Morden?

Here's the information
Ambassador Mollari asked for.

Give it to him when he arrives.

You can go now.

- Mr. Morden.
- Hmm?

Captain, you got a minute?

(John)
'Yeah. Sure. What's up?'

Ah, it's the Narn refugee
situation again.

Look you got to give me
some discretionary power--

I know, I know, I know.
I thought we could handle it

but there are
so many coming through.

I mean, it's hard, Michael.
They're a proud people.

To see them humbled
like this is..

Alright.

Tell Franklin to have his people

separate out the injured.

Light cases
get first aid only

then load them
on the first ship out.

Critical cases
get taken to Medlab

on a priority basis.

And the dying?

Medlab.

Earth Central will say
this is a waste of resources.

I won't have people
dying alone cold and alone

on the docking bay floor.

- Understood.
- Yeah.

The, uh, Icarus?

'Yes, it was a science vessel'

my wife was on
when she passed away.

I'd been putting off

sorting through
the last of her stuff

you know, what to keep,
what to throw away.

Before she left she sent me
a breakdown of the mission..

Crew, personnel..

When they were
supposed to come back.

I read about this
when it happened.

I'm sorry.

- Mind if I take a look?
- Yeah.

There's nothing
personal in it.

[electronic beeping]

[chuckles]
I mean, she didn't know
anybody else on board.

(Michael)
'Whoa. Wait a second.'

I know this guy.
I've-I've seen him around.

It's impossible,
he was on the Icarus

when it exploded.
Same as Anna.

No, no, Captain. I know
what I'm talking about.

I've seen him. He's alive.

(male narrator)
The Babylon project was
our last, best hope for peace.

A self-contained world
five miles long

located in neutral territory.

A place of commerce
and diplomacy

for a quarter of a million
humans and aliens.

A shining beacon in space,
all alone in the night.

It was the dawn of
the third age of mankind

the year the great war
came upon us all.

This is the story of the last
of the Babylon stations.

The year is 2259.

The name of the place
is "Babylon 5."

[theme music]

[music continues]

That's him, alright.
I never forget a face.

Morden. Same ID
as on the Icarus.

He's supposed to be dead.

Why didn't the security
net catch him?

Captain, come on.

We don't get every
death certificate

from every earth alliance
ship and colony.

Now if he'd broken
any station rules

or got into any fights,
we would have run a full check.

And this would have come out.

But he hasn't done anything
to attract attention.

When was he last here?

Customs log shows he arrived
here two days ago.

Date of departure..

He's still here.

Find him. Bring him here.

I don't care if you have
to seal off the whole station.

I want him found.

I want to know
what he's doing here.

And why he's alive

when my wife and everyone else

who was on board
the Icarus with him is dead.

[doorbell rings]

Yes?

Miss Winters?

Pierce Macabee.
I sent you a note earlier.

Oh, yes. I just got it
a little while ago.

I'm sorry, we had a conference
come through here

and things have been
a little crazy.

Not a problem. May I?

- Of course.
- Thank you.

So, what can I do for you?

Well, actually it's more
a question of what I can do

for you, really and what we
together can do for Earth.

I'm regional director
of the newly-formed

ministry of peace or Minipax

as we like to call
it around the office.

We're tryin' to round up support
for a series

of new programs
we're launching.

What kind of programs?

Well, folks back home
are awfully nervous

about all the fighting
going on out here.

They need reassurance, you see?

They need an environment
dedicated to peace, not war.

'But we can never have
peace with our neighbors'

'until we're at peace
with ourselves'

so we at the ministry of peace
are trying

to find new ways
to do just that.

Ways we can better help each
other, work with each other.

And for the next two days..

I will be giving
a series of presentations

in the lecture hall in Blue 6.

Just, uh, station personnel
and a few hand-picked others.

I've spoken to your
superiors back home

and based on their
recommendations

I'd like very much for you to
come hear what we're offering.

Please say yes.

Alright. I'll try.

[automated message]
'Monitoring Narn patient in 14.'

'Condition stable.'

'Monitoring
Narn patient 15.'

'Currently
undergoing surgery'

'to repair damage
to cardiovascular system.'

'Monitoring
Narn patient in 16.'

'Condition critical,
but stable.'

- Doc. Doc.
- I'm awake, I'm awake.

What is it?
What is it? What? What?

I just downloaded
your medical log.

You haven't slept for 36 hours.

Yeah. I, I've been kind of busy.

I...took some stims
to get me through.

There are no substitute
for food or few hours sleep.

Yeah, well,
I've got work to do.

And a whole staff of doctors

who can do it just as well
as you can.

Thanks for the vote
of confidence.

I'm not playing that game.

As of right now,
I'm relieving you of duty.

Report to your quarters
and get some sleep.

Six hours minimum.

After that, report
to the mess hall

and have something to eat.
I'll join you there.

- But, but..
- I mean it.

You're no use to me or anyone
else in this condition.

Alright. Alright.

Here you go.

- Identicard.
- Oh. Of course.

Is there a problem?

No. No problem.

I'm gonna have to ask you to
to step over there for a minute.

Let me get these other people
through. It's just routine.

But I thought you said there
wasn't a problem.

Now there won't be
if you'll just step over there.

I don't think
that'll be necessary.

[dramatic music]

Nice shoes.

I'll admit
my knowledge of the law

is somewhat limited,
but I believe it's tradition

if you're going to hold someone,
you should at least

charge him with something.

Very pretty.

"Anna Sheridan."

Is this supposed
to mean something?

[beeps]

[automated message]
'Departed station prime'

'a little over five weeks ago'

'on a planned six-month'

'scientific and archaeological
mission to the Rim.'

'The last message received
from the Icarus'

'gave no sign
of the problem'

'that led to its unfort..'

Ah.

That.

(Morden)
'Yes, I was on board the Icarus'

'but I don't remember
what happened.'

I don't remember
how I survived.

A passing transport
found the wreck

and I was outside, unconscious,
floating in an EVA suit.

I must have been outside working

when the Icarus exploded.

The shock and the trauma

wiped out my memory
of what happened.

Why didn't you tell Earth
Central you were alive?

It was months before
I could even remember my name

much less file a report.

When I was back on my feet

I sent a message
to Earth Central.

I guess they
never received it.

You're a damned liar.

I'm sorry you feel that way
captain, but there's nothing

I can do about that so, if
there's nothing else, I'd like..

You're not leaving.

You can't do this.

Watch me.

You're going to have to
charge me with something

and last I heard,
being alive is not a crime.

You seem to have
forgotten something, Mr. Morden.

Earth central
thinks you're dead.

Until I send them my report
you are still dead.

That means you've got no rights,
no legal recourse..

No one to miss you
if you don't turn up.

You're playing a very
dangerous game, captain.

Could cost you your command.

One hundred and thirty nine
people died

on board the Icarus,
Mr. Morden..

...including my wife.

And here you sit, not a scratch.

Now something here
doesn't add up.

I intend to find out
what happened

what really happened.

If necessary, you will sit here
for the next hour..

...the next day, the next week
the next month, the next year

the next 500 years!

But you will not leave here
until I know...the truth.

Better?

You've been pretty quiet.
Did you get any sleep?

As soon as my head
hit the pillow.

Just had some bad dreams,
that's all.

- About what?
- Ah, it's nothing.

It must be something
if it's bothering you.

Sometimes,
before I fall asleep

I close my eyes.

I see the face of every patient
that I ever lost.

They're always there,
waiting for me

right behind my eyelids,
every night.

These past couple of days

we've lost a lot
of Narns, Susan.

This damn war
with the Centauri.

I know. They just keep coming.

They're crammed into
those refugee ships like..

...sardines, you know.

Sick, wounded.

By the time they get here,
half of' em are

beyond hope.

Beyond help, yes.
Beyond hope..

You believe in God, Susan?

Um...I suppose.

I mean, I was raised a Jew.
I went to temple.

I was bat mitzvahed.

I didn't ask how you spent
your adolescence.

I asked if you believe
in God.

Most of the time.

Do you?

I'm a foundationist.

I've never heard of that one.

Well, that's fairly new.

Only been around
about 100 years.

One of a bunch that sprouted
after

we'd made contact with aliens.

See, the idea is that God is too
big to be defined by words.

Sort of like Zeno's paradox.

You can never really get
anywhere because there's

an infinite number of dots
between you and the object.

The closer you get
to defining God..

...the further away it gets.

Okay. What does that have
to do with this?

You know, when a patient starts
to slip away..

I mean, he looks at you..

And his eyes grab hold of you
the way a drowning man

grabs hold of anything
to keep from sinking.

I mean, afraid..

So afraid..

And then...just at the last

it's as if they look past you
to something else

and the look on their face

it's like nothing
you can describe.

And then,
just as they look past you

the moment that
they look past you

you can't help,
but meet their gaze

and just for an instant

you see God reflected
in their eyes.

I've seen a lot of reflected
Gods today, Susan.

And I'm wondering how we can
keep believing in them

when they've stopped
believing in us.

What was the color of the
transport that found you?

- We've been over this.
- The color?

Grey.

- Two hours ago, you said white.
- No, I didn't.

What was the ship's
ID number?

- I don't remember.
- Where did it take you?

It dropped me off at med station
on the Vega colony.

There's no record
of you being there. Why?

That's because I was unconscious
most of the time.

They didn't have
much information.

How many days did it take
to get there?

Three, I think.

'It's a five-day jump
to the Vega system.'

What was the doctor's name?

What was the ID number
of the transport?

What was the name
of her Captain?

What happened to the Icarus?

I told you, I don't know.

I don't remember.

Well, you damn well better start
remembering, mister

because by God, by the time
I am done with you

you will wish
you had died on the Icarus!

In the last 10 years
Earth has rebuilt

its defenses magnificently.

We can protect our people
from physical harm but..

Is that enough?

We cannot hope to make peace
with other civilizations

until we have found peace
with ourselves.

And that, quite simply

is what the ministry of peace
is all about.

Now, as Babylon 5 has
an early warning system

to detect possible attacks,
we at the ministry of peace

have created a system
of our own.

We call it the night watch

'named after
those brave citizens'

'who stood vigil
in the darkness'

against possible enemies.

It's a completely volunteer
organization

officially endorsed
by Earth Dome.

Members receive
50 credits per week

above and beyond
their regular salaries

for services rendered.

What kind of services?

Well, mainly just to be present

wearing the colors
of the night watch.

Raise public awareness.

Make them start thinking
about peace

about the way
they treat one another.

I can't believe Earth would pay
us 50 extra credits a week

just to walk around the station.

Correct. As the name implies
you must also be watchful.

Peace can be made or broken
with a gun, a word, an idea

even a thought.

Now, those who work
against peace

sow the seeds
of discontent.

They plant false stories,
they undermine the public good.

It's not because they are
necessarily evil.

It's because they don't know
any better.

They're rejected,
they're unhappy

and they lash out
in the only way they can.

So, if we could be made aware
of these problems as they occur

then we can find these people,
we can talk to these people.

We can embrace them again
in the arms of society

while, at the same time,
protecting society

from misinformation
and harmful ideas.

'We're less interested
in actions'

than we are in attitudes.

We must help protect society
against its own worst instincts.

And by taking these bold steps

we will help to ensure
a better future for everyone.

I'm proud to be a part of it
and I hope you'll all join me

in becoming part
of the night watch.

I think I'm gettin' to him.

The more I pick his story
apart..

- The more it doesn't add up.
- Captain..

All I need is to find
one verifiable lie.

Captain, you've had this guy in
here for well over ten hours.

You still haven't charged him
with anything.

I'm aware of that,
Mr. Garibaldi.

No sir, I don't think you are.

Look, sometimes
when I'm out in the world

yeah, I play things
fast and loose.

But inside this office,
I play it by the book.

'This ain't even close.'

I'll assume full responsibility.

'Can't do that.'

As head of security
every prisoner

is my direct responsibility.

I'm the one who's ultimately
accountable.

It's my butt that'll be
brought up on charges.

You can't look at him and tell
me you think he's legit!

- He's hiding something!
- Of course, he is.

And so are half the people
on this station.

But you can't go around
arresting them for it.

His station record's
clean as a whistle.

Look, I know you're doing this
because of your wife.

I can understand that.
So, let me cut him loose.

I'll follow him around
until I can find

something to charge him with.

I won't let him out of the box.

Not when I'm this close.

Hell, he might jump ship!
I can't let that happen!

Damn It, captain,
you can't go interrogating

someone for 10 hours
without charges.

- The regs say--
- Mr. Garibaldi.

Interpreting the regulations
for a senior officer

can be considered
an act of insubordination.

Okay, so, now what? You going to
charge me with insubordination?

Is that it? You wanna to lock
me up in the next cell?

You pull the trigger
on this one, captain

you damn well better be prepared
to back it up.

I just need more time,
Michael, that's all.

If he knows
what happened to Anna, if..

...if he is somehow
responsible for..

I'm sorry.

I can't let him go.

Well, I'm sorry, too.

Because I can't be here
as chief of security

while something like this
is going on.

Either it stops,
or I resign

effective immediately.

What'll it be, captain?

[instrumental music]

You wanted to see me, captain?

Mr. Garibaldi has taken
a brief leave of absence.

On this kind of short notice.
He wouldn't--

Uh, until his return..

...I'm putting you in charge
of the prisoner.

No one is to see him
or talk to him.

Yes, sir.

[beep beep]
Yes?

(female #1)
'We've got Vir Cotto asking

'to see you Captain.'

It'll have to wait.

'He says it's urgent.'

[sighs]

Alright, alright, Um..

Tell him, I'll see him in my
office in 10 minutes.

[beep beep]

This shouldn't take long.

Yes, sir.
Anything else?

Find Talia Winters.

Bring her here.

I'm short on time,
Mr. Cotto

so, if you'll please tell me,
what is so urgent?

It's about Mr. Morden.

You know him?

Well, Ambassador Mollari

has had some dealings with him.

I have orders to ask
for his immediate release.

So, what makes you think
we have him?

Well, he had an appointment
to pick up some materials.

One thing about Mr. Morden is he
never misses an appointment.

The station's records show
that he didn't leave

so I conclude
that you must have him.

- We do.
- Ah.

We're holding him
for questioning.

Regarding?

I'm afraid that's confidential.

Oh.

Nonetheless, Ambassador Mollari

has asked for me to insist
upon his immediate release.

He's an official guest
of the Centauri Republic

and thus is eligible
for diplomatic immunity.

Now, that's an awfully long way
to go on behalf of this guy.

Why?

What's he mean to Londo?
Who is he?

He must have a lot of clout
with the Centauri Republic.

But so far as he's told us
he's just an ordinary trader.

I'm sorry, uh..

- That's an internal matter.
- Oh?

But I've told you

we are extending diplomatic
immunity to Mr. Morden

so please release him.

Diplomatic immunity only applies

when the subject
is charged with a crime.

So far, Mr. Morden
hasn't been charged.

We're holding him in,
uh, protective custody.

Protecting him from what?

I haven't decided yet.
Good day, Mr. Cotto.

Captain, may I talk to you
for a minute.

It's about this Morden?

Get in line, Commander.

I'm serious, I just spoke
to Garibaldi.

- I assume he briefed you?
- He did.

Then you know everything
you need to know.

No, I don't!
captain, Listen.

As your executive officer

it's my responsibility to notify

you if I think your behavior
is becoming..

Irrational?

That's as good a word as any.

Thank you for your
notification, commander.

Now, if you don't mind.

Captain, look, you're
forcing me into a position

where I'm going to
have to report this!

And I don't want
to have to do that!

- Don't you understand--
- I do understand, commander.

I know how I look,
I know how I sound

but I have to do this.

For ten years, the only things
that mattered to me

were my wife and my career.

When she died, she took
the best part of me with her.

I survived by telling myself
that it was an accident

like everybody said.

And focusing on
the one other thing

that I had left, my job.

And now, suddenly..

That's all turned upside down.

Maybe she was killed by that man
sitting in isolation right now.

If you were in my position,
would you let him go?

If you had that doubt
in your mind?

Could you?

No, I couldn't.

Neither can I.

Because the other possibility
is that if he is alive

then maybe she is alive.

And either way,
I have to know.

Because without that..

...nothing else means one damn.

(Talia)
'I'm sorry, captain,
but I can't oblige you on this.'

Psi-Corps rules prohibit
unauthorized scans

in civil or criminal
investigations.

How can it be unauthorized?

According to
Earth Central records

he is supposed to be dead.

Can a dead man object?

Captain, you're trying using
the letter of the law

to defeat
the spirit of the law.

'Now If you can get him to agree
to a scan without duress--'

He won't.

Then there's nothing
I can do.

Alright.

If you'll please wait outside
for just a minute?

- Morden's in I-15, correct?
- Yes, sir.

I imagine it's getting
pretty ripe in there by now.

I want him moved immediately
to a holding cell, say..

- 23.
- Alright, but why?

And escort Miss Winters
back to her quarters

through Blue 7.

But sir, that'll put her in
the same hall as Morden.

They'll pass each other.

Yes. They will.

[intense music]

[screaming]

I got her!
Get him out of here.

Are you sure you're alright?

I think so.

It was terrible..

Like falling
into a bottomless well.

And cold.

So cold.

And just for a second,
I thought I saw this..

What?
Wh-what did you see?

A shape.

I-I don't know.

It was probably nothing.

Well, still, you should
make a full report.

I think I just did.

Ms. Winters, for what it's
worth, I'm sorry.

I didn't think, uh!

[sighs]

Guess I had that coming.

I guess you did.

Hope it was worth it.

Well, her reaction tells me

there's a lot more to this guy
than even I thought.

And that's a start.

Yeah, I suppose so.

Look, can I give you
a piece of advice?

Why not? Everybody else has.

I've seen what the death
of a loved one can do to people.

It's played out here every day.

It can destroy you by making you
forget that you're not alone.

'Look, you and I'

our job descriptions
are different.

But inside, we both carry
the silly notion

that we can fix everything.

Well, we can't.
And you have to face that.

But you don't have to
face it alone.

Captain.

We have to speak with you
about Mr. Morden.

You must release him at once.

You, too?

The both of you?

I mean, who is this guy? Why is
everyone so interested in him?

You will simply have to trust
us, captain.

If you do not release him
quickly

everyone here
is in terrible danger.

No, not until
I get some answers

once and for all.

If this is the only way

then we will give you
those answers.

But be warned,
once you know his secret

once you know what we have known
for the last three years

you will never sleep well again.

(Delenn)
'Come, Captain.'

The greatest nightmare of our
time is waiting for you.

[intense music]

There are beings in the universe

billions of years older
than either of our races.

Once, long ago

they walked
among the stars like giants..

Vast and timeless.

They taught the younger races

explored beyond the Rim,
created great empires.

But to all things,
there is an end.

Slowly, over
a million years

the First Ones went away.

Some passed beyond the stars,
never to return.

'Some simply disappeared.'

Delenn..

I-I'm sure
this is all very interesting

but what does any of this have
to do with Morden?

Not all of the First Ones
have gone away.

A few stayed behind

hidden or asleep,
waiting for the day

when they may be needed..

When the shadows come again.

Shadows?

We have no other name for them.

The shadows were old

when even
the ancients were young.

They battled one another
over and over

across a million years.

The last great war against
the shadows

was 10,000 years ago.

It was the last time the
ancients walked openly among us.

But the shadows
were only defeated

not destroyed.

A thousand years ago

the shadows returned
to their places of power

rebuild them and began
to stretch forth their hand.

Before they could strike

they were defeated
by an alliance of worlds

including the Minbari..

And the few remaining
First Ones

who have not yet passed
beyond the veil.

When they had finished

the First Ones went away..

All but one.

There's still one of them left.

Where?

That is why Kosh cannot leave
his encounter suit.

He would be recognized.

Recognized? By whom?

Everyone.

For centuries,
the Vorlons stood alone

the last remaining guardians..

Watching and waiting.

Then, last year

I sent Kosh a message.

- Did you see Ambassador Kosh?
- I did.

Did you relay
my question precisely..

...word for word?

I did.

His reaction?

Just one word.

He said "Yes."

If "Yes" was the answer

what was the question?

Have the shadows
returned to Z'ha'dum?

Z'ha'dum?

That's the world..

...G'kar's been warning us
about all year.

Sheridan..

Learn.

(Delenn)
Icarus, your wife's ship

sent to investigate the ruins
of an ancient race

no one has ever
heard of before.

(Kosh)
Z'ha'dum.

We have a blip on the K-Lens.

(female #2)
'Roger that, Two, we're sending'

'an I-R team down there.'

'Keep scanning this sector
for more information.'

Check.
Harper, sir.

We're starting to advance
on quadrant 814.

[intense music]

[instrumental music]

Oh..

And, uh..

The Icarus..

They-they found something.

- Then they woke something up.
- Yes.

Once awakened, the shadows
could not allow them to leave

in case they might warn others.

Those who would not serve
were killed.

But were they all killed?

Delenn, maybe..

Maybe some of them were
kept alive as prisoners.

Anna might still be alive!

- Morden--
- Must be released.

After what you just showed me

how can you ask me to

to let him go?

Because right now they do not
know how much we know.

The last time, the shadows lost

because they moved too quickly.

Now they are being careful
gathering their forces slowly.

If you push Morden,
sooner or later

he will tell you what happened.

Then he will be killed..

'And you will be killed.'

The shadows will move now

before we're ready for them.

How are they going to know?

Because Morden is never alone.

Listen to me,
aside from the Vorlons

we do not have the first ones
to help us this time.

We are on our own.

We will have
only one chance to stop them

and if we fail,
billions will die.

There comes a moment when each
of us must pledge himself

to something greater
than himself.

You told G'kar he had to decide

between revenge
and the good of his own people.

Now you must make
the same decision, captain.

It will be the most
important decision

'of your life.'

It's late, captain.

You want to get some sleep?

- Zack.
- Sir?

You ever studied
ancient history..

20th century,
World War II?

Well.. Not really.

I always used to fall asleep
in history class.

The Germans had a secret code

they used for all
their important messages.

It was called "Enigma."

What they didn't know was that

the British
had cracked the code.

One day, Churchill's people
intercepted a message

authorizing the bombing
of a city named Coventry.

Now, if they
evacuated Coventry

the Germans would know
their code had been broken

and switch to another system.

And if that happened

it could cost the allies
the entire war.

If they didn't
evacuate the city..

...hundreds of innocent men,
women, and children would die.

So, what happened?

They kept the secret.

There was no evacuation.

And on November 14th, 1940..

...Coventry was destroyed.

The dead were..

...piled up like cordwood.

I-I've seen newsreels
of Churchill visiting the ruins

a few days later.

And you could just..

...see it in his eyes..

...the knowledge
of what he'd done.

It was dark..

...haunted.

All these years,
I've never been able

to get that image
out of my head.

I'm glad it's a decision
I don't have to make.

I don't think I could
live with myself.

'How many lives
is a secret worth?'

[echoing vibrations]

What was that sound?

I don't know,
we've been pickin' it up

now and then from the new cell.

We just put a new microphone

in there a few days ago, but..

Well, I guess
it's malfunctioning.

"Never alone," she said.

[echoing vibration]

Can you adjust the monitor..

Scan on different wavelengths..

'Infrared, ultraviolet?'

Yeah, I think so.

Do it!

[indistinct buzzing]

Stop!

What?

What did you see?

Nothing.

Shadows.

Cut him loose.

Tell him

it was all a mistake,
and he can go.

You're sure?

Mm-hmm.

I cut him loose.

You were right.
I was wrong.

Come on back to work.

What happened
to change your mind?

I'd rather not talk about that.

I'm not so sure I like
the sound of that.

Next time..

...you'll listen to me?

Won't be a next time.

- Okay.
- Thanks.

Hey, captain..

You're sure you're okay?

Yes.

He alright?

I don't know.

- What's that?
- What?

Oh. Nothin'.

I figured, what the hell?

Earth wants
to throw around its money

who am I to say no?

Fifty extra credits a week
to walk around

and do what
I do anyway? Why not?

I let him go.

But there is
a price tag attached.

You've been trying to help me
so we can understand each other.

That's not what I want anymore.

I want you to teach me

how to fight them,
how to beat them.

Because sooner or later,
I'm going to Z'ha'dum.

And I'm going to stop them.

If you go to Z'ha'dum

you will die.

Then I die.

But I will not go down easily
and I will not go down alone.

You will teach me?

Yes.
