All language subtitles for Babylon 5 3x12.Sic.Transit.Vir

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chattering]

[door whirring]

(Susan)
'Good morning.'

'Now, let's take
a look at the manifests.'

'See who's coming in today.'

'Hmm.'

'Couple of Drazi ships.'

'Minbari personal transport.'

Even a few Vree.

Still not quite
where we used to be

but it's a start.

Alright, put me online
with the first ship

and let's get this show
on the road.

[clapping]

What?

Is there a problem?

[screaming]

Oh.

[panting]

Oh!

[panting]

God, I hate dreams like that.

(automated message)
'Good morning.
The time is 0530 EST'

'July 3rd, 2260.'

'Have a nice day.'

[instrumental music]

[door latch clicking]

- 'There you are!'
- Oh!

I was just looking, really.

I-I didn't touch a thing, it's..
Well, maybe the drapes, a bit

but there was this large
flying thing

that I tried to,
you know, swat.

The Emperor has just finished

reviewing your reports
from Minbar.

He asked me to convey
his compliments

on your hard work

even if some parts of it
do read

as if they were written
by Ambassador Mollari.

- He advised me on a few things.
- I thought as much.

Londo belongs to the old school.

He thinks we must be protected
from the truth.

But these are perilous times.

We must have
accurate information

about what other worlds
are doing.

You would do well to follow your
own judgment in future.

Thank you, minister.

Oh, we have arranged for a ship

to take you back
to Babylon 5

as soon as
you are ready to travel.

From there, you will
continue to Minbar.

Well, I'll let you go back
to your room now

so that you can pack.

- Yes, sir.
- Oh! I heard a new joke.

[laughing]

W-w-what is more dangerous

than a locked room
full of angry Narns?

[chuckling]

I don't know,
what is more dangerous

than a locked room
full of angry Narns?

One angry Narn

with the key.

[both laughing]

You!

[laughing continues]

W-w-with the key.

[laughing]

[gibberish]
I don't..

[instrumental music]

(Susan)
The Babylon project was
our last best hope for peace.

It failed.

[dramatic music]

But 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]

[instrumental music]

Same thing.
Night after night.

I mean,
one bad dream after another.

You know,
I-I get the one where your

your teeth are breaking off
or falling out

and you wake up going, aah!

- You know?
- Oh, yeah. I know that one.

Or you're lost
in a maze somewhere

or I'm someplace
where I've never been before.

This morning

I dreamt that
I walked into C and C totally..

...unprepared for my work.

Oh.

Interested in a little
dime store psychoanalysis?

No, I'm just baring my soul

as a preface to asking you
to give me some silverware.

[chuckling]

Every one of these dreams puts
you in unfamiliar territory.

A maze or some strange place.

Well, that is kind of like
where we are right now.

When did you join Earthforce?

[sighing]

2247.

Alright, so we're talking
13 years.

'We're both career military.'

'That means we define
who we are by what we do.'

We left all of that behind
when we broke away from Earth.

Yeah, but I've already
dealt with all that.

Hmm, consciously.

But from what you were saying

subconsciously, you're still
trying to work it all through.

You don't know
where you fit anymore

'harder to find yourself.'

'You're feeling vulnerable'

'lost and exposed.'

It's all perfectly obvious
and completely understandable.

I suppose, I just..

...just hate waking up in the
middle of the night

not knowing who I am,
or where I am, or..

...even what I am.

[chuckling]
It'll pass.

Your subconscious just needs
to work it all through.

Hey, it could be worse,
you could be having dreams

where you're showing up to work
naked.

[both chuckling]

'Then you'd be in real trouble.'

[John laughing]

You know, I'm gonna get some
more of this...whatever it is.

- You want anything?
- No. I'm fine.

- Ah, alright.
- Thanks.

Shit!

[instrumental music]

[insects screeching]

Dah!

[insects screeching]

Where are you now, hmm?

[insects screeching]

Dah!

Aah!

[clattering]

[grunting]

[device beeping]

(male #1)
'Maintenance. Can I help you?'

Yes, you can help me.

Two hours ago.

Two hours ago

I called you.

I told you there is..

...a-a bug.

An insect in my quarters.

(male #1)
'Uh, we've been a little busy.'

Now, you listen to me.

I do not like insects.

I do not like
little brown things

with eight legs.

I do not like anything
with eight legs.

Well, except for the Vinzini.

But only because
they are terrible at cards

something to do
with compound eyes I think.

I want this thing dead!

(male #1)
'Sorry, ambassador, but due to
recent changes in our status'

'we've had to cut back
on inspectors'

'and time to time,
insects are gonna get in.'

'We'll get somebody there
soon as we can.'

No, don't hang up on me.

Don't hang up on me!

[device beeping]

Hung up on me.

[yelling]

[insects screeching]

[sighing]

Die!

[chuckling softly]

[sword clanking]

Die!

Die! Die! Die!

[grunting]

[laughing]

There, you see?

This will teach you
to trifle with a Centauri

you triple-damned..

Do you know that..

Do you know that you are smaller
than I thought you were?

[panting]

You are smaller.

[whimpering]
There are more of you.

There are more of you!

[doorbell chiming]

Yes!

[door whirring]

You are Ambassador Mollari?

My dear lady.

For you, I would be..

...anyone you want me to be.

- Hm.
- Please, come in.

Come in.

(automated message)
'May I have your attention,
please?'

'Please consult
your transport agency'

'for schedule information.'

Excuse me. Have you seen
Ambassador Mollari?

He always meets me here.

[exhaling deeply]

Morning, Delenn.

Captain.

How are things
with your government?

Well, for the moment
blissfully quiet.

At least so far
as we're concerned.

Uh, President Clark's
having a hard time

keeping everything
bottled up back home.

So, we're not on the top of his
list of priorities right now.

The resistance?

Gathering their forces,
putting their people into place.

With everybody busy
planning their next move

we get a break.

It'll be short,
but I'll take it.

[chuckling softly]
Which brings me to you.

- Me?
- Yes.

You know, every time
that I have seen you lately

we've been
in the middle of a crisis

a revolution.

I mean,
it's the first time in months

that it's been this quiet.

It won't last.
It never does.

But as long as it's here..

...I'd like to see you tonight.

[chuckling]

Are you not seeing me now?

I would think that you see me
every time we meet.

Unless I have become translucent

or, um, insubstantial

and nobody has thought
to inform me until now.

Then let me say I'd like
to see you in a different light.

Candlelight, for instance.

- Over dinner.
- Tonight?

'Uh, tomorrow we maybe
involved at another crisis'

'another battle.'

This may be the last chance
we'll get for a while.

You know, back home,
we have an old saying..

"Eat, drink and be merry
for tomorrow we die."

[chuckling softly]

Humans can be
a very depressing people.

Only if we get turned down
for dinner.

Well, we cannot have that,
now, can we?

[doorbell chiming]

[doorbell chiming]

Come!

[door whirring]

Londo.

Ah, greetings, Vir.

How was your flight?

Very good. I managed
to get some sleep this time.

And how are things
at the royal court?

Oh, you know,
collusion, politicking

scheming, innuendo, gossip..

- Same old thing.
- Good, good.

Oh, and your reports?

- I assume they went over well?
- Yes, uh, very well.

Well, did you tell them
I helped you with your reports?

Oh, there was no need to.
They noticed it right off.

Ah. Well, good.

Good.

Anything interesting happened
while you were there?

No.

N-not a.. No, nothing.

N-no.

- Vir.
- Yes.

I have a surprise for you.

A surprise?

You can come out now.

[Londo laughing]

Hello, Vir.

Is it not glorious, Vir?

Your wife has come all this way
just to see you.

- Londo, I'm not married.
- No, not yet.

But in a few days, you will be.

And if you ask me,
she's far too good for you.

Alright. Come on, Vir.

Say hello.

Her name is Lyndisty,
and you will be spending

the rest of your life with her.

(Vir)
'How can we be married?
I've never even met you before.'

It was all arranged
through your uncle

and my mother,
the Lady Drusella.

'They feel it would be
a perfect union'

'of our two houses.'

You know nothing about me.

I know that you are now
the liaison to Minbar.

I know that your reports

are in favor
at the royal court

and that your star
seems to be in ascendance.

'I know that in your face'

'I see a gentleness'

'and a kindness of spirit.'

While I was waiting for you

Ambassador Mollari told me
everything about you.

(Mollari)
'Oh, don't worry, Vir.'

I only told her
the good parts.

It was a very short
conversation.

[insects screeching]

[chuckling softly]

[thudding]

Duh.

They're getting faster.

I swear they are evolving
right before my eyes.

If you see something this big

with eight legs coming your way,
let me know.

I have to kill it before
it develops language skills.

When I marry,
I want it to be for love.

Oh, a radical.

I'm sorry, that's just
the way that I feel.

If you give me a chance,
I promise you

when we cross beneath
the swords and boughs

it will be for love.

[door whirring]

Good afternoon, Sergeant Allan.

- Commander.
- Here you go.

Don't usually see you up here.

No. I, uh, hardly ever
get the chance.

Whoa.

It's quite a view, isn't it?

I know. I can never
get enough of it.

Standing here in front
of the stars like this

looking out

down, up, all at once.

Kind of makes you feel naked
in front of the universe.

[clearing throat]
Was there something that
I could do for you, sergeant?

Oh, yeah. Uh, I'm sorry.

I was gonna run this
by the chief

but this is more your area
than his.

We've had a lot more Narns
than usual

come through here lately.

Most of them
escaping the homeworld.

Well, so far,
I don't see a problem.

The more they can get away
from the Centauri, the better.

No, hey. I agree.

It's just that I was going over
their papers of transit

and I noticed the name of the
Centauri who approved them.

"Abrahamo Lincolni"?
You gotta be kidding me.

Since when is that
a Centauri name?

Yeah, well,
that was my reaction, too.

Let me see that. Whose office
did these come through?

'Ah!'

(Vir)
'So, what did my uncle
tell you about me?'

Oh, that you were smarter
than you appeared

and that you had
several virtues

but that I should not
hold this against you.

He said that you were capable
of a quite enchanting

and well-deserved humility.

I'm not entirely sure
what he meant by that

but I'm sure it was good.

[chuckling softly]

Do you think it will take you
very long to love me?

You know,
it's-it's really hard to say.

I've always considered time
to be very important.

I've often thought
that when we are born

we are given time
in a multitude of tiny boxes..

...so small that
when we need them most

they're nowhere to be found.

I-I don't think
we should rush things.

You know, y-you may find
I-I'm not suited to you.

Perhaps.

But we will grow together.

You shall be
the logical conclusion

to all my happy thoughts.

And the borders of my world

circumscribed by your two arms.

- Do you think I'm pretty?
- Oh, yes.

Deliriously.

But I always associated
delirium with fever

so, there you are.

Then let me be a fever
from which you never recover

and our night's
an anarchy of pleasure.

Lyndist..

[moaning softly]

Well?

I-if kisses could kill

that one would have flattened
several small towns.

Vir.

Our marriage has already
been arranged.

The ceremony is just for show.

Everything that must be done
has been done.

Except between us.

If you send me away
I will still be your wife

in name, if not in fact.

And I think you will find me
a most pleasant fact.

Mr. Cotto, you're late.

I'm sorry.
I was otherwise engaged.

But engaged and married,
as it is.

Not that I knew about it
or anythi--

You're not making sense.

I imagine I'm not, but that's
the kind of day I'm having.

So let me-let me tell you
the reason

why I'm here to talk to you.

Abrahamo Lincolni?

I was hoping to tell you before
you found out about it yourself.

Too late.

We noticed that
the papers of transit

came from your office
on Minbar.

Considering you're the only
person there

who knows much about Earth
history

I figured you must be
responsible.

Now, would you like to tell me
what this is all about?

I needed a name
to put on the papers.

I don't have the authority
to approve transfers

from the Narn homeworld,
so I invented somebody who did.

'I-it's part of our
work program back home.'

We bring Narns
from their homeworld

to work in construction
and help in the factories.

- Work camps.
- 'In a sense.'

It's much better
than being back on Narn.

The conditions there are
very bad, I'm told.

You say these Narns
go voluntarily?

Absolutely. Yes.

Well, then why the forgery,
the fake names

and falsified transit papers?

There are many Centauri who
would rather see the Narns

suffer back home than be given
comfortable quarters

too close to Centauri Prime.

We're trying to help
in our own way.

(John)
'I hope that's
the right kind of table.'

'I don't do a lot
of entertaining here.'

I usually just grab
a bite on my way in.

(Delenn)
'It's fine.'

I didn't come for the decor.

Well, I hope you didn't come
for the cuisine, either

because unlike Mr. Garibaldi

I am not exactly
a gourmet cook.

[sighing]

But what I lack in finesse

I make up in..

...portions.

[chuckling]

Uh, barely edible,
but lots of it.

- Flarn.
- Yeah.

You learned to cook flarn?

Well, after I tried it
at your place

I found I kinda liked it.

[both chuckling]

Um, it might need
a little salt.

Stop apologizing.
Let's sit and eat.

I'm sorry. I just wanna
make sure it's okay.

Oh, it looks fine.

[clearing throat]

[sighing]

Um. I, I like that picture
over there.

Oh, yeah, that's..

...that's a favorite of mine,
too.

'So..'

...how is the flarn?

'Enough salt?'

- Just right.
- Good.

[door whirring]

Vir! There you are.

I've been looking for you.

But did your meeting
with the commander go well?

As well as could be expected.

Is there a problem?

I'd like to know more
about what you do

so that I can be a good wife
to you.

I knew if I followed you
long enough

I would find the murderer.

- Vir!
- Get behind me.

Look, I don't know what you..

[screaming]

[dramatic music]

You really did like it.

(woman on radio)
'Security to all personnel
near green two.'

'We've got an assault
in process.'

'Repeat. Assault in process.
Green 2.'

Just one level down
near Londo's quarters.

I'll be right back.

[both grunting]

No, Vir!

- Vir.
- Lyndisty, run!

No, not without you.

[grunting]

[groaning]

[groaning]

Oh, my..

Put it down! Now!

Ragatsa Shon-kar!

[zapping]

And Vir had no explanation
for the attack?

(John)
'None.'

He said it was
a complete mystery.

Well, maybe it was just a random
terrorist attack at a Centauri.

It's not like they
need a reason these days.

(John)
'I'm not so sure.'

'Just before he came at them
the last time'

"Shon-kar".

Shon-kar?

That's a Narn blood oath.

Exactly. Meaning it's a personal
grudge.

'I can't imagine why anyone'

'would wanna kill
someone like Vir.'

But you better run a check
on the Narn, anyway.

'See what you can dig up.'

Will do.
You take care of that arm.

(Vir)
'I just don't understand it.'

Every time I show
my face around here lately

somebody hits me.

First, G'Kar, then the riots.
Now this.

So brave of you.

Putting yourself
in front of me like that.

Even terrified.

I'm so proud of you.

I-I just don't understand
why he did it.

With the Narns, who can say?

You know how they are.

- Yeah, but he, uh--
- Shh. Shh. Shh.

You rest now.

You've earned it.

You've been the hero
long enough today.

I've never been a hero before.

I won't let them hurt you,
Lyndisty.

I promise.

Bad news, Vir. We think there
may be an other Narn out

to finish what the first one
started.

What? How can you be sure?

We checked the ID
on the Narn who attacked you.

He arrived here
with his pouch brother.

is a blood oath.

If one family member
fails to carry it out

'it devolves into
the next in line.'

Vir, if a Narn declares
a blood oath

there's usually
a damn good reason.

Is there anything
you haven't told me?

No. No, nothing.

I heard there was a woman
was with you. Is she alright?

Yes, uh, Lyndisty. My wife.

'Well, soon to be.'

You know, it-it's done,
but it's not really done.

But, uh, you know,
it's a, it's a long, long story.

But, you know, at first,
you know, I didn't think

but now, well, she's, well..

You know what, can I ask you a
question as long as you're here?

Um...I suppose.

Okay.

What do women want
when things get, um

you know, uh, um..

...intimate, you know?

Um..

I-I really don't think that

that we should be having
this conversation, Vir.

I mean, I..
Isn't there someone else?

There's-there's only Londo, but
I don't think that's a good idea

and since, you know,
you're a woman

I thought maybe
you might have some ideas.

Well, I mean, it depends.
I mean..

There's no single answer
to that, Vir.

I mean,
every woman is different.

But, uh, i-if she's your wife

well, you, you must know
a-a few things about her.

Blank slate.

Oh. Well, um..

Well, there must have been other
women before this.

There were other women,
but I never got past one.

You mean first base.

(Vir)
'No, no. I-I mean one.'

You see, we have six, uh..

We have six, you see

and each one
is a different level

of intimacy and pleasure.

'So, you know,
first you have one and that's..

Yeah, you know..
And then there's two

and then by the time you get to
five, it's a..

[breathing heavily]

Uh-uh, Vir, I got it,
I got, I got it. Okay.

Uh, I-I really don't know
what to tell you, Vir.

I mean..

...I've never really gotten
this relationship thing

down myself, okay?

So I-I'm the last person
in the world

who should be giving out
advice on..

...on this sort of thing.

'All I can say is..'

...that enthusiasm

sincerity, uh

genuine compassion

and humor

can carry you through
any lack of

prior experience with..

...high numerical value.

Wow.

I'm gonna remember that.

Thank you.

Thank you.

[sighing]

[inhaling deeply]

Six.

[exhaling sharply]

[slamming hand]

[doorbell chiming]

Come.

[door whirring]

I wanted to see
how you are doing.

Ah, I've had worse.

I'm just sorry it
interrupted our dinner.

There will be other dinners

but if you keep doing this

you will get killed
one of these days.

And then there'll be
no more dinners.

It was happening
right under my feet.

I had to do something.

[chuckling softly]

Besides, I-I'm-I'm fine.

- Ow.
- Let me.

Mmm! No, uh, Delenn-Delenn.

Listen, I have been dressing
myself for a long time now.

Yes, but your arm is hurt
and why put more strain on it?

I hear that when it happened

Vir was with a woman.

Apparently,
they're to be married soon.

So, I understand.

Must be the shortest courtship
on record.

She just got here yesterday.

Perhaps you should check
the air recycling system.

It may be as you say..

...something in the air.

Maybe there is at that.

(Susan)
'Captain, I..'

Oh. I-I'm sorry, I-I..

- No, no.
- I didn't-I didn't mean to.

It's alright. It's alright.
Um, what is it?

I think you'd better meet me
in Londo's quarters, ASAP.

It turns out we've got
a serious problem with Vir.

On my way.

[chuckling]

I have to..

I know.

- Of course.
- Um..

I should go.

[chuckling]

[door whirring]

(Londo)
'I hope there's a good reason'

'for this interruption,
commander.'

(Susan)
'There is.'

In the course of our
investigation

into the attack yesterday
we've learned something

very disturbing.

Over the past couple of months

Vir has been forging
travel papers

for as many as 2,000 Narns

authorizing them
to leave their homeworld

for so-called "work camps."

- Commander!
- What?

Londo, please. Don't pretend you
don't know anything about this.

I don't. This is a complete
surprise to me.

What makes you think I would
know anything about this?

Well, for starters,
it's the kind of thing

that only you
could think of, Londo.

Second, there's only
one logical reason

why another Narn would declare
and try and kill him.

Revenge.

We ran a check on all the Narns

who left Narn
using Vir's travel papers.

According to the transit
and relocation files

every one of them,
all 2,000 Narns

all of them...are dead.

'That's 2,000 murders, Vir.'

No wonder the Narns are after
you and anyone close to you.

[dramatic music]

Two thousand dead Narns.

Well, it's a start.

Good to see you
showing some initiative, Vir.

Initiative?

It's murder.

You say that as if
it were a bad thing.

Remember it's Narns
we're talking about here.

A few dead, more or less.

They're not dead!

- They're not?
- They're not?

Well, then you do have
some explaining to do.

Can't count on anything anymore.

But the records, Vir.

I altered the records so nobody
would go looking for them.

- Why?
- Because I had to do something.

'There were females
and children.'

Some of the local leaders the..

...the ones who kept their
language and their beliefs

most of them were injured
from us bombing their world

and sending them
to forced labor camps.

They weren't getting
proper treatment.

If I hadn't gotten them out,
they would've died.

'Instead, I...had them sent
to other worlds.'

Got them medical care,
and when they were healthier

I had them filtered
back here to Babylon 5

or sent elsewhere.

Then why do the records
say they died?

Because, back home,
nobody cares about dead Narns

only living ones.

While I was here, there was
nothing that I could do.

But while I was running
the diplomatic mission on Minbar

I had the chance to do
something.

And I took it.

My only regret is that
I couldn't have saved

more of them.

Do you realize
what you have done to me, Vir?

I was the one who pushed
to get you this position

position you have abused.

If this comes out..

...the scandal
would hurt both of us.

Now, I will have to deal
with this, Vir, and with you.

(John)
'Just one thing.'

If Vir is telling the truth

and none of these Narns
have been killed

why did one of them
attack him?

They are Narns, captain.

They don't need
a reason for murder.

Ah! Vir, there you are.

I've been looking everywhere
for you.

You're troubled.

I can tell from your expression.

Can you tell me
what is troubling you?

I thought
I was doing something good.

And I was.

Only now,
it's something quite bad.

For me, at least.

Well, that covers effect

but I'm reasonably sure
that I'm no nearer cause

than I was when I sat down.

It's a long story.
It has to do with the Narns.

Ah, I should've expected that.

Well, whatever it is, Vir, I'm
sure that it's not your fault.

How can you say that?
I mean..

You don't even know
what the situation is.

Unnecessary.

Everyone knows that
wherever there's trouble

there's always a Narn
at the center of it.

'That's all they are,
you know, trouble.'

It's not their fault.

They're simply inferior.

It's genetics.

They're lazy.

They foul their own nests.

Everything they touch
falls apart.

Hence, my original conclusion.

'The sooner they're dealt with
the better for everyone.'

Especially if they've caused you
any kind of trouble.

You don't really mean that,
do you?

Yes, of course I do.

My dearest Vir, don't be silly.

[laughing]

You're having fun with me,
aren't you?

Playing with me.

Well, I can play, too.
That's why I came to find you.

I have something for you.

- Please, come.
- I-I can't, really.

I'm not in the mood.

Oh, but this would cheer you up.

Please, we don't have
a lot of time. Please come.

Alright.

[door whirring]

Two steps in.

And stop.

You can open your eyes now.

It's dark.

Lights, gently, please.

- Lyndisty!
- 'I knew you'd be surprised.'

[groaning]

He's still alive.

Yes, of course!

I saved him for you.

I almost didn't.

After all,
he did intend to kill me.

But I set
a little trap for him.

I have been trained
quite well.

I almost finished
him all myself but--

Why did he wanna kill you?

At first, I wasn't sure.

But then,
when he was unconscious..

...I studied him
for a very long time

until I remembered

I saw him on Narn.

My father and I went there
after the war.

He was in charge
of culling the herds.

"Culling the herds"?

Oh, yes. Quite necessary
for pacification.

He would test their villages
and find out

which populations
had the greatest tendency

toward aggression.

You cure future aggression

by cutting out
that part of the gene pool.

Our soldiers would bring them in

ten, twenty at a time

and we'd put them to sleep.

'It was more humane
than they deserved, really.'

Hmm, but father's always been
overly charitable.

Sometimes we'd find
whole villages

where the aggression
was just too deeply rooted

and we had to take it all out.

'Oh, you could-you could see'

'the flames rising up'

'into the night like..'

...brilliant flowers
embracing the spring.

Bright buds opening
and spreading wider.

This one..

'I remember.
He escaped with his brother'

'from one of the villages
we purified.'

That must be why
they tried to kill me.

He was going to use this.

But I saved it and him

for you.

'As head of our new household'

'it is your right.'

Vir.

Oh, Vir, it's not like
he's really aware.

'And after the first few'

'it's really quite easy.'

I've done it hundreds
of times myself.

Please.

Accept this one

as a token of my love for you..

...and a testimony
of our marriage.

(Londo)
'I have spent'

'the last hour'

on the line with certain friends
in the Centauri

who owe me favors.

I've not told them everything.

Just what is required
for their cooperation.

It is not as if this was the
first time this happened.

'Oh, no. Our last envoy
to Minbar also went native.'

Too much exposure to those

those damn Minbari
can have strange effects.

So..

...we are going to pretend

that this entire unfortunate
incident never took place.

'All records will be destroyed.'

And you are forbidden

to speak about it to anyone!

'Do you understand?'

Good.

[exhaling sharply]

I must say
that I am personally

very disappointed in you, Vir.

'I had expected better of you.'

But..

...I suppose, uh, it is my own
fault as much as yours.

I was foolish
in sending you to Minbar

before I had finished
your training.

'You fell in with bad company.'

Free thinkers, anarchists,
Minbari!

They took advantage
of your naivety.

Well, it happens.

Sometimes the bird leaves the
nest and flies away.

And sometimes it falls
onto its beak

and needs to be helped back
into the nest for a while.

That is you.

'Your tenure as our liaison
to Minbar is over.'

'You'll stay here now.'

Away from temptation and
the authority that you misused.

And I will continue
your instruction

in what it means to be Centauri.

'You can start
by telling your wife goodbye.'

Lyndisty? What happened?

- Do her parents know?
- No, no.

They,
they only know that there's been

some kind of
unfortunate misunderstanding

and that your place
is not as high as it was

a few days ago.

They have not canceled
the marriage

but they are reconsidering
it for a while.

I suggest you go
and make up to her

as best as you can.

She's a good woman.

A true Centauri.

[sighing]
That she is.

[door whirring]

Good morning, commander.

Captain.

(John)
'Uh, something
I can do for you?'

Uh, this is my office,
after all.

I know, I was just using
your security clearances

to finish up a few things.

Ah, such as?

[sighing]

Getting rid of some bad dreams.

What?

Alright.

What do you think?

That's me as a Centauri.

(Susan)
'Nope.'

'That's Abrahamo Lincolni'

'of the Centauri
Relocation Bureau.'

Vir did a very good job
creating a fake bureaucrat.

Londo doesn't know about him
and he's still authorized

to issue travel papers.

So, I figured,
why not take advantage of it?

'Keep him around for a while.'

So, I added a few details.

A photo from your file.

Yeah, I've noticed.

I'm not sure I like the coat.

So how many Narns
do you think old Lincolni here

can get out of danger before the
Centauri figure it out?

Beats me. But it seems like even
one would be a victory.

What does this have to do
with your dreams?

(Susan)
'I just realized that I was'

looking for a direction
of some kind.

I mean, something to do
for the station or for us.

I mean, ever since we broke away
I've been mostly parking ships

and running inventories.

You know, but operating
behind the scenes

running numbers like this,
using our resources

to help other races, I..

I feel like I've got some
new options now.

And to tell you the truth, I,
I hate to say this but, uh..

I think I'd really enjoy
being a sneak.

Then I hereby appoint you

the official Babylon 5
sneak-in-residence.

Well, thank you.

Now, get the hell out
of my chair.

Yes, sir!

And may I say, sir,
from the bottom of my heart

that you make an absolutely
charming Centauri.

I-I know we had some problems
towards the end there

and I definitely think
we need to talk about it.

But I think you can change.

It's some of your ideas
they need...rehabilitation.

They say the same about you.

They say that you are confused

but that you will get better
in time.

Oh, I hope not.

Well, either way,
I will wait for you.

- You don't have to do that.
- No, but I will.

So, I take your gentle face
with me

transmuted into memory
by the alchemy of my affection

as deposit on our wedding night.

[instrumental music]

I will see you again, Vir.

Soon.

[exhaling deeply]

Well..

What relationships
don't have their ups and downs?
