[instrumental music]

[indistinct chattering]

Yeah.

[murmuring]

[indistinct chattering]

Good morning, captain.

- 'Oh, goodness.'
- Hm.

Top of the morning, captain.

- Captain.
- Morning.

[Zack clearing throat]

So, captain, Ivanova tells me

you convinced Londo and G'Kar
to go along with your idea

about putting White Star ships
along their borders

as a peacekeeping force.

Hm.

[mumbling]

- Maybe we shouldn't.
- I agree.

Well, anyway, it's good news,
but it's gonna be tough

to get the other aligned worlds
to go along with it.

- Got any salt over there?
- Yeah, here.

Yeah, I know,
every time you try to get them

to do something for their own
good they figure that

you've got some sort of
a hidden agenda.

'And getting legal authority
from each of them'

'to make arrests? Not a chance.'

(Stephen)
Such a pain in the ass.

It's like every four months

we've gotta start
all over again.

[John laughing]

Oh, sorry. Nothing.

No, you're right, Zack, I mean,
getting them all on board

is gonna be a hard sell.

You know, for most of them

'the Raiders and the Drakh
are just potential problems.'

'I mean, they really haven't
hit that many places so far.'

They don't see the trouble until
it's right up on top of them.

And then they run around
like they're crazy.

[laughing]

[John laughing]

Is there something you'd like to

share with the rest of the
group?

[laughing]
Huh?

Uh, no. No, no.

'No. Uh-uh.'

Anyway, I hate to have
to go through this again

but I think
we're stuck with him.

That's it! I got it!

Ha! It'll work.

Okay, if we try
to talk the other races

into letting our ships
operate along their borders

it's gonna be nothing but grief!

Hell, it took months to pull
them together the last time

and that was with the Shadows
breathing down their necks.

I don't wanna go through
that again any more than you.

I am tired of doing things
the hard way.

There's an easier way
to convince them!

And how do we do that?

- By not convincing them!
- Whoa!

[laughing]

Listen, Marcus, after you've
finished your breakfast

I want you to take three
White Stars up to Sector 87

and wait for orders.

What do you want me to do?

I don't know yet..

[chuckling]

...but trust me,
this is gonna be great!

[laughing]

[all laughing]

Oh.

- Just checking.
- 'Huh.'

(Stephen)
'If this is the way he is'

after Delenn's been gone
for three days

I don't even wanna know
what he's gonna be like

after another week.

[all laughing]

[droning]

Lennier, have you been able
to get through to home yet?

It's been difficult.

It seems the primary beacon
is no longer transmitting.

I've had to use
the orbital relay station

to pick up
on local broadcasts, but..

Delenn, fighting has broken out
in the capital.

They fear it may spread
to the outer cities.

- A civil war?
- Yes.

It's started.

[instrumental music]

(Lennier)
It was the year of fire.

(Zack)
The year of destruction.

(G'kar)
The year we took back
what was ours.

(Lyta)
It was the year of rebirth.

(Vir)
The year of great sadness.

(Marcus)
The year of pain.

(Delenn)
And a year of joy.

(Londo)
It was a new age.

(Franklin)
It was the end of history.

(Ivanova)
It was the year
everything changed.

(Garibaldi)
The year is 2261. The place..

(Sheridan)
Babylon 5.

[theme music]

[music continues]

[droning]

When I was a child..

...my father used to carry me
through the city

on his shoulders.

I had never seen such beauty.

The city was eternal.

It's beauty is eternal.

We heard of the Grey Council.

The name was always spoken
with awe and reverence.

They held our world together.

They were the peace
promised by Valen.

Thousand years of peace

among the three castes.

I think of my beautiful city
in flames, Lennier.

The streets where I walked..

...the temples..

...the great crystal spires

that sighed music

whenever the wind touched them.

I think of it..

...and I cry, Lennier.

And I wonder..

..."Did I do this

when I broke the Grey Council?"

Valen always said
the council will be broken

in the great Shadow War.

Lennier.

You know the truth
as well as I do.

Valen only knew
what Sinclair knew.

'He couldn't see beyond that.'

Once he left us,
the future became fluid.

I had assumed

that things would continue on

like some
great clockwork mechanism

as long as the war was won..

...we would be alright.

I was wrong.

Delenn, it was inevitable.

The council imposed balance
between the castes

by suppressing
the old resentments

the fears, the imagined slights

but it could not erase them.

Take that away

and all the old problems come
right back to the surface again.

Perhaps.

We have to stop this, Lennier.

If the fighting spreads
beyond the capital

a thousand years of peace

will become
a thousand years of war.

I came here to tell you

the Takari
has received our signal

they're waiting for us
point.

We'll be there within the hour.

Did you contact Neroon?

Yes, I did.

Whether or not he will be there
when we arrive, I do not know.

It was a...a beautiful city

wasn't it?

(Londo)
Captain, I'm not entirely sure
I understand.

When you asked me
to allow your ships

to operate on the border
of Centauri space

you said you were
going to use it

to inspire the rest
of the League to do the same.

- Hm?
- That's right.

And now you don't,
you don't want me

to even talk about it?

That's right,
and if anyone brings it up

I want you to deny it.

- Deny it?
- That's right.

But you, you want to keep
the patrols in place, yes?

Absolutely. And I've told G'Kar
the same thing.

[chuckling]
Well, captain..

You will forgive me
if I appear a bit slow.

I have studied your race
quite a bit

and there are still several
aspects of your psychology

I don't understand.

A place called
Winchester Mansion

with stairs that go nowhere

something called
Country and Western.

And the less said
about the comedy team

of Rebo and Zooty,
the better. However--

(John)
'You don't like Rebo and Zooty?'

[chuckling]
I mean, they're hysterical.

Are they? I'm sorry.

I apparently mistook you
for a human

with some taste and sensibility.

'After their last broadcast'

'everywhere I went
on the station'

someone was going,
"Zooty, zoot, zoot."

That was a great routine.

- I didn't get it.
- Not my problem.

My point, if you will
allow me to make it

is that there's much
about the human mind

that I don't understand.

So perhaps
you will explain to me

how allowing your ships

to patrol
the border of Centauri space

will inspire the rest
of the League to do the same

if I can't even tell them
that we are doing it!

(John)
Londo!

Trust me.

[door whirring]

[sighing]

Zooty, zoot, zoot.

[laughing]
I love that.

[laughing]

[instrumental music]

- Hello, Neroon.
- Delenn.

I was surprised
to receive your message.

I considered not responding

but then, I enjoy a mystery
as much as anyone.

I am, however, very disappointed
in the welcome I received

from your fellow
Religious caste.

'For a moment I thought they
might actually'

'fire on our ship.'

You are under my protection.

They will not harm you
except in their own defense.

I need to speak with you..

...alone.

Given the fighting
that's going on back home

I should think you would be
very worried to be alone

with one of the Warrior caste.

I would if it were
anyone else but you.

And why is that?

Come with me and find out.

[instrumental music]

Treating them
like honored guests

after all they've done to us.

What are they doing here?

- Why were they invited?
- It is not for me to say.

There are rumors
all over homeworld

that the Religious caste
will give in

to the demands of the Warriors

that they will rule
and we will follow. Delenn..

Will speak for herself

when she feels
it is correct to speak.

Alright, Delenn. What is it?

- I need your help, Neroon.
- 'My help?'

I remind you
that not very long ago

I fought to keep you from
taking control of the Rangers.

We have not exactly
been friends.

No, but your actions
have always been motivated

by one desire

to do what is right
for our people.

The Warrior caste cannot
be allowed to win this war.

The Religious caste
cannot be allowed to win.

You know as well as I

that if either side
achieves dominance

the delicate balance of our
civilization will be destroyed.

You should have thought of that

before you broke
the Grey Council.

What is done is done, Neroon.

What matters now is the future.

Yes, we have disagreed,
even fought

but I would rather have someone
who opposed me

out of an honest belief
in the rightness of his cause

than someone
who was always on my side

because it was expected,
required.

I've questioned your judgment,
your wisdom

your temperament,
but never your loyalty.

- Was that a compliment?
- After a fashion.

Then you trust me?

After a fashion.

Well, it's a beginning.

I only wish it could have
happened months ago.

We might have avoided
all this grief.

- Now it's too late.
- No, it's not.

This has been building
ever since the war.

The fire cannot be stopped.

It will have to burn itself out

before the two sides
will listen to reason.

And how many cities will be
burned to the ground by then?

How many lives will be lost?

Delenn, I am as horrified

by what is happening back home
as you are

but we are two
against a world gone mad.

What can we do against that?

(Delenn)
'Nothing..'

...until we get
their attention.

For that I need your help.

Will you give it?

If I do, I risk alienating
my entire caste.

- They may turn against me.
- 'That is true.'

And I risk the same
by working with you.

Well..

...it's a challenge

and I have
always liked challenges.

You have my support for now.

[instrumental music]

(Drazi)
Captain, I must speak to you.

I'm in kind of a hurry,
ambassador.

Some of our ships returning
from a training expedition

to Centauri Prime have reported

seeing several
of your White Star ships

patrolling the borders
of Centauri space.

- Have they?
- Well, did you put them there?

(Drazi)
Or did the Centauri
ask for them?

I don't really think
it's my place to comment.

Captain!

All I can say is

we certainly wouldn't be there
if we weren't wanted.

- Then they asked for the ships?
- I can't confirm that.

(Drazi)
'But you're not
denying it, either.'

But not denying it
doesn't make it true

any more than not confirming it
makes it false.

- 'Are you with me so far?'
- I am not sure.

Ambassador, there are so many
things in the universe that are

and so many things that aren't.

If I were to take the time

to deny all the things
that aren't, uh

we'd be here for centuries,
wouldn't we, huh?

Well, I got to go.

[indistinct chattering]

Captain, the Centauri
are a prideful people.

They wouldn't ask for help
unless they were

afraid of something.

If that's true,
we deserve to know what it is!

I'm sorry. I can't say any more.

Now, if you would,
please, excuse me.

[sighing]

[indistinct chattering]

Captain, we've got Marcus
standing by on channel 4.

Put him through.

- Marcus, you're in position.
- I got here a little while ago.

We've scanned the area,
but, uh, there's nothing here.

- Just a bunch of asteroids.
- Good.

I want you to target
several of the asteroids

and destroy them.

- I see. And then?
- Then come back.

- That's it?
- 'Yes.'

Shoot a bunch of rocks
and then leave?

- Correct.
- 'Hm.'

- Captain, may I ask--
- 'You may not.'

You have your orders,
and I have neither the desire

nor the inclination
to explain them to you.

Now, if you're incapable of
carrying them out, let me know.

Otherwise I'll expect to see you

when you've completed
your mission.

Understood.

- Uh, captain?
- Hm?

Is everything alright?

Uh, fine, excellent.

Uh, couldn't be finer. Why?

Well, that was just
kind of a unusual order.

- Huh.
- Yes.

Yes, it is, isn't it? Hm.

Oh, uh, which reminds me

when does the, uh,
"Voice Of Resistance"

make her next broadcast?

- 8 o'clock. Why?
- Oh, nothing, nothing.

Um, I was just planning
on coming by

and see how things were going.

Uh, everything else here
alright?

- Fine. Fine.
- Good.

Well, I'll leave you to it.

I have to stop by Medlab,
talk to Stephen.

There's something I have
for him to do, as well.

[chuckling]

- Good day, commander.
- Captain.

I told you I have no idea
what you are talking about.

(Drazi)
These White Star ships

were seen on your borders,
ambassador! Our pilots--

Your pilots, your pilots should
have their eyes examined.

I don't know
how they see out of them anyway.

Tiny, beady, squinty
little things, aren't they?

- Ambassador!
- 'No.'

(Londo)
'The maker
has not been kind to you.'

It must be terrible
trying to fly at night

without running into
entire planets.

Are you saying
the Centauri do not know

what ships
are patrolling their borders?

No, of course we know.

The maker has gifted us
with great, big eyes

and great, big scanners
and great big, uh..

Well, that is
no concern of yours.

Look, isn't there someone else
you can go and harass?

My life is already
so full of joy as it is!

Then you flatly deny
that you asked Sheridan

to use the White Star fleet
to support your government

and protect Centauri space?

Absolutely. Anything else?

No.

Yeah, that will do.

- Thank you.
- Open!

[door whirring]

[door whirring]

[indistinct chattering]

This may be more serious
than we thought.

There's no question, they're
hiding something from us.

Oh, there you are.

I was gonna track you down

one at a time, but since you're
all in one place--

I'm sorry, doctor, we're in
the middle of something here.

Yes, I can see that, but this
won't take but a moment.

Uh, I was wondering
if your governments can send us

some additional blood supplies
for each of your races.

- Blood supplies?
- Yes.

- How much?
- Oh, as much as you can spare.

- Why?
- Oh, no particular reason.

I just, uh, I just thought
it would be a good idea

in case we needed it for..

...well, in,
in the event of a crisis

or an attack or..

- What-what kind of attack?
- I'm in a hurry.

I'm in the middle of something,
but I will send your governments

a formal request later on today.

I just wanted to let you know
that it was coming.

I'll see you later, probably.

This is very bad.

Come!

I cannot believe
that Delenn would allow this!

It confirms everything
we have been hearing.

Why else would Delenn
come this far

and want Neroon to be here?

Why else
would she return to Minbar

with a Warrior at her side?

You saw how she deferred to him

spoke gently to him.

So many of our caste
have suffered at the hands

of the Warrior caste.

Why else
would she behave this way

unless she intended for us
to surrender?

I saw Delenn
when Dukhat was alive.

I know her heart!

She would never do
what you describe.

That was a long time ago.

Many things
have changed since then.

I heard her say it
as I passed by her quarters.

"The Religious caste cannot
be allowed to win this war."

We must do something.

Ever since the war, the Warrior
caste have had nothing

but disdain for us.

"If you need
to surrender something

"ask the Religious caste
to do it for you.

That's their area of expertise."

And now this.

Only Delenn
can authorize a surrender.

She's the only one
whom all the clans will honor.

But we cannot move against her.

To fight against the Warrior
caste, that is one thing

but to strike down
one of our own..

'...one who led the Grey
Council, the chosen of Dukhat..'

'...it would tear
our caste apart'

'and guarantee our loss
to the Warriors.'

There is another way..

...but it will mean
sacrificing all we have

and all we will ever be.

'We will lay down our lives
for our caste'

or history
will not even remember us.

They will only wonder
what happened to the ship

and why it never reached home.

But it must be done.

For the good of everyone

this ship cannot be allowed
to reach home.

[dramatic music]

[instrumental music]

- Did you get it?
- Yes.

Is this enough?

(male #3)
'Enough for two ships
of this size.'

I siphoned it directly
from the fuel system.

Once released
into the air processing system

it will poison the atmosphere
within minutes.

After we are no more

the ship will continue to drift
further into hyperspace

'until we cannot be found.'

The ship will become
a monument to our caste

and to our willingness
to do all that we can

to protect our people.

I will put this into position
and await your signal.

To think that one of our own
should turn against us

I think I will welcome
the great sleep

that I might never again
have such thoughts.

[indistinct chattering]

Oh, captain.

I see you're just about
to go on.

Yeah, I'm just checking over
some reports.

- We go live in two minutes.
- Uh, what's that about?

Well, ever since
we started broadcasting

we've been getting reports back
from half of the outer colonies

that are still aligned
with Earth.

And we've got some great stuff
on President Clark.

Did you know that three quarters
of his cabinet

resigned in protest
over his martial law decree?

- Hm?
- You don't hear that on ISN.

Ah, that's great.

(male #4)
'One minute thirty seconds,
commander.'

Um, sir, are you going to, uh,
stay or..

No, no, no. I, uh..

I just stopped by to ask you
to, uh, plant a story for me.

- Excuse me?
- Plant a story for me.

'Uh, something I just want you
to drop into the broadcast.'

Captain, with all due respect

we can't just start
planting stories now.

I mean, we've made a big deal
out of the fact

that unlike ISN,
we're putting out the truth.

If we become
a propaganda machine--

That's the last thing I want.

I just want you to mention
that nothing happened today

in Sector 83 by 9 by 12.

- 8-3-9-1-2?
- That's the one.

(male #4)
'Thirty seconds.'

But, sir, I just got
a status report from C & C

a little while ago

and that sector's been
absolutely quiet.

Exactly.

So, uh, just relax
because what you're saying

is absolutely true.

That nothing
happened there today?

(John)
'Yes.'

Just casually mention
that nothing's going on.

That's right.

Yeah, make a big deal out of it

uh, as much as you can,
given, nothing happened.

- Sir, I..
- 'Ten seconds.'

I better get out of the way.
You're just about to go on.

- 'I'll talk to you later.'
- But I..

(male #4)
'Go!'

This is Commander Susan Ivanova
of Babylon 5

bringing you
the "Voice Of The Resistance."

In the next 20 minutes
we'll have updated information

about President Clark's
continued illegal attacks

against civilian targets on Mars

and more information about
the struggle for Proxima III.

Our best wishes go to our
brothers and sisters there

who are fighting
for their freedom

against overwhelming odds.

We'll also have stunning news

about the mass resignations
of cabinet-level advisers

and the joint chiefs
over his campaign of terror.

Our regards to those onboard
Earth Alliance Star ships

who risk being arrested
and court-martialed

for watching these telecasts.

Your loyalty to Earth
and to freedom is appreciated.

And we hope to have
some news for you soon.

First, one brief announcement.

I just wanted to mention
for those who have asked

that absolutely nothing
whatsoever happened today

in Sector 83 by 9 by 12.

[indistinct chattering]

I repeat, nothing happened.

Please remain calm.

[indistinct chattering]

- Did you hear?
- Yes.

And I just learned of an attack
by three White Star ships.

- What did they attack?
- We do not know.

Our scanners could not pick up
anything in the area

only asteroids, debris.

White Stars
do not attack asteroids.

I know, but we saw nothing.

Then the enemy..

...must be invisible.

- Some new cloaking system.
- Yes.

No wonder the Centauri
asked for help.

The White Star fleet is partly
based on Vorlon technology.

Perhaps they are advanced enough

to see this invisible enemy.

They're keeping
this technology to themselves.

With the Vorlon gone, they're
the only ones who have it.

They want
to leave us unprotected

left to fend for ourselves

but we have a right to the same
protection as the Centauri.

We cannot tolerate
this kind of discrimination

in the face of grave danger!

Invisible enemies..

Strange things happening
in Sector 83.

They could be anywhere.

They could be all around us.

[dramatic music]

Ah, good, there you are.

We're almost home.

Just a little longer
and we will see

if Delenn knows
what she is doing.

End.

Bring her to me.

I have questions
which require answers.

[groaning]

[alarm ringing]

The alarm.
Do you think they know?

No, I don't think so.
Is everything in place?

I set the timer
as soon as the alarm sounded.

In a matter of moments
it will all be over.

[alarm ringing]

Neroon.

- You sure you're alright?
- I'm fine, Delenn.

It was a glancing blow.

Take him below
and have his wounds treated.

And he should rest.

'If he doesn't choose to rest,
make him.'

- Delenn.
- 'Go.'

This one will go into the cells.

Leave him a copy
of the sacred scrolls to read.

Perhaps he will understand

there are other ways to solve
disagreements than violence.

'I'm glad you're here.'

I need you to keep an eye on the
other Warriors that are aboard.

Neroon was attacked
because some of them believe

that the Warrior caste
is going to surrender to us.

They would do anything necessary
to prevent that.

Then we're..
They're not going to surrender?

No, don't be foolish.

If either side surrenders to
the other, there will be chaos

our entire culture
would fall apart.

There are other ways,
more reasonable ways

but the extremists among us
never see that.

'They would rather be martyrs'

'to misinformation
and old ways.'

- But we thought--
- Thought what?

Nothing. Uh, nothing.

Well, again..

Keep an eye on them.

If you suspect anything,
do not act directly.

Tell me and I'll tell Neroon.

[sighing]
Incredible.

Only the Warrior caste
could actually

turn on one of their own.

'They have always been erratic.'

And you..

...you are the steady rock
beneath my feet.

'Thank you.'

- The poison.
- It's too late.

(male #5)
It's starting right now.

[coughing]

[whooshing]

[coughing]

[coughing]

[panting]

[coughing]

[groaning]

Have we fallen so far

that we cannot even
trust ourselves?

[panting]

[instrumental music]

- How is he?
- Not well.

I've asked my personal physician
to tend to Lennier.

They are both in isolation

to protect Lennier
from contamination

until the doctor is finished.

Do they know what happened?

He appears to have been exposed

to some residue
from the fuel system.

How he came upon it,
I do not know.

Only he can tell us
should he survive.

'He means a great deal to you,
doesn't he?'

I have been training him

as Dukhat trained me.

He has been..

...a light for my footsteps

never asking, only giving.

Without him..

...I would stumble and fall..

...and never get up again.

Thank you
for looking after him, Neroon.

I fear we may be healing him

only to see him
and the rest of us killed

before we are finished.

But it was the least I could do

in return
for your gracious hospitality.

I know the others are not happy
with my presence here.

They will understand,
eventually.

But only because
you will teach them.

In the time that we have
known each other, Delenn

I have not always
spoken well of you.

I assumed
your behavior was prompted

by a sense
of your own superiority

your ego, the usual fanaticism

we have come to expect
from the Religious caste.

In the last year I've begun
to realize that I was wrong.

Dukhat chose you above all

to follow him.

Slowly, dimly

I begin to understand why.

I do not know
what lies ahead of us, Delenn

but I do know it is right

that we are here together.

Was that a compliment, Neroon?

[chuckling softly]

After a fashion.

[indistinct chattering]

Where is Sheridan? He's late!

He will be here soon.

Then we will confront him
with what we know!

No.

There is wisdom in silence

wisdom in knowing more
than they believe we know.

The Gaim is right!

By showing them what we know

we may put ourselves
at a disadvantage.

'If we reveal
our sources of information'

'he may shut them down'

'prevent us from finding out
what is really going on!'

Let Sheridan think we do not
know about this invisible enemy.

Let him continue
to underestimate us

as long as we get what we want.

What pretext do we use
to get these ships? How--

Sorry to be late, gentlemen.

It's been a hectic day.

Anything in particular, captain?

- No, just the usual.
- Of course.

Now, what is it
you wanted to see me about?

Lately we've been hearing
about attacks by, uh..

Raiding parties and Drakh.

Yes, raiding parties against

some of the smaller
League worlds.

We feel
it is only a matter of time

before they turn their attention
to our own civilizations.

Well, I wouldn't put
too much stock in rumors.

I'm sure you can handle
whatever comes your way.

We lost many of our ships
fighting the Shadows.

You have an obligation
to help us protect our borders

until we can rebuild our fleets.

You're talking about
the White Star fleet?

We are.

Well, there's nothing I can do.

They're busy.

Doing what?

Uh..

I-I can't tell you.

[indistinct chattering]

If you cannot tell us, then
it must not be very important.

Captain, we insist!

You must put
as many of the White Star fleet

as you can around our borders.

Now, just hold on a minute.

We speak for the entire League!

(Sheridan)
'Doesn't matter.'

I can't put them on your borders
without the proper authorization

to intercept raiders
and other ships

entering or leaving the area.

And since you're not likely
to give me the authorization

that, as they say, gentlemen,
is that.

Incorrect.

We will provide them
with full authority.

You cannot hide
behind that, captain.

I see.

Uh, but what if I need them
for a...larger mission?

Then we will accompany them..

...so that we may show
our own support

for...whatever it is
you choose to do.

You have no choice
in this, Sheridan.

The League has spoken.

You will bring
the White Star fleet

into the League
of Non-Aligned Worlds.

In return, the League
will support any action

taken by the fleet.

But I can't possibly
talk you out of this?

We're afraid not.

[sighing]

Alright. I guess you're right.

I don't have
a whole lot of choice in this.

I'll have the diplomatic papers

and treaties drawn up
this afternoon

and delivered to each of you
by the end of the day.

Good. Thank you, captain.

You may go now.

[indistinct chattering]

[beeping]

(Sheridan)
'Yes!'

- Hm..
- Lennier.

This is the second time
I have seen you near death.

You are starting to acquire
bad habits.

It was much safer in temple.

Also far less interesting.

The doctor tells me

that they had to remove
part of your lung.

- Hm.
- I'm sorry.

(Delenn)
'Can you tell me
what happened?'

[sighing]

I was passing a maintenance tube

on my way to see you

when I, I smelled a discharge
from the fuel system.

'There was no time
to call for help'

'so I crawled into the tube'

and I shut the valve.
There was no other choice.

If I had waited,
it would have been drawn

into the air recycling system.

You're sure it wasn't sabotage?

'I have been wondering
if some of the Warrior caste'

'might have been involved.'

No, I think
we can be fairly certain

the Warrior caste
was not involved.

Well..

...there's at least
that much good news.

You did
a very brave thing, Lennier.

Everyone here is in your debt.

Now rest.

'We'll be at Minbar
by this time tomorrow.'

See to it that
he's made comfortable.

His actions have
honored all of us.

Why?

I should sleep now.

I'm very tired.

Please, we need to know.

You could have told her
the whole truth

no one here
would have blamed you

but you didn't.

Why?

If I had told her
the whole truth

it would have
destroyed her belief

in the strength
and the wisdom of our caste.

Delenn does not walk in the same
world that you and I walk in.

'She does not see the same world
that you and I see.'

In her world,
we are better than we are.

'We care more than we care.'

'We act towards each other
with compassion.'

I much prefer her world
to that of my own

and I will not allow anything
to threaten that.

I understand.

Thank you, Lennier.

Do not thank me.
I did it for her.

I did not do it for you.

In future, I would suggest
you try to see the world

through her eyes sometime.

'It might lead you to make
fewer fatal mistakes.'

Now go away.

We'll be home soon
and I'll need all my strength

to deal with the new problems

without dwelling
on the old ones.

[beeping]

This is Commander Susan Ivanova
of Babylon 5

bringing you
the "Voice Of The Resistance."

In a show of solidarity

the League of Non-Aligned Worlds
announced today

the formation
of an authorized patrol force

to curb the activities
of raiders and others

who have been preying upon
civilian transports.

Later in this stellarcast,
we'll have news

from the resistance
at Proxima III

and other safe havens.

Rumors have reached us
concerning fighting going on

in the capital city of Minbar.

'We ask that anyone with solid
news of events going on there'

'please contact us
with that information.'

On the chance
that anyone on Minbar

might be monitoring
this stellarcast

we send them our best wishes

and hope
they come through this safely.

Oh.

[groaning]

[groaning]

Delenn?

Lennier? What is it?

Neroon...he's gone.

[droning]

Message from Alit Neroon
to Shakiri

Shai Alit of the Warrior caste.

The mission has been successful.

I have access to their plans

to counterattack our forces
in the capital city.

They can be stopped
and stopped easily.

[device beeping]

The Religious caste is divided

and their support is weak.

It is as you said, Shakiri

they do not have the stomach
for a prolonged conflict.

Tell our ships to stand by.

Victory will be ours
within the week.
