1
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,712
- When is the commander due back?
- Soon.
2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,071
- How soon?
- Longer than a little while, not later.
3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:16,070
- He's checking a damaged transport.
- Isn't that done by someone else?
4
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,353
He'll grab any chance to take out
a ship. He's like that.
5
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,796
Well, I haven't seen him
since I came aboard.
6
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,832
- Have you ever tried one of these?
- What is it?
7
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:33,319
According to the translator, it's
either an aphrodisiac or a floor wax.
8
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:34,469
Mr. Garibaldi...
9
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:39,634
Please. Michael. Did I mention
I really enjoy your broadcasts?
10
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,912
If this interview hadn't been
set up weeks ago...
11
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:48,399
...I'd swear Commander Sinclair
didn't want to be interviewed.
12
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,239
- I can't imagine that.
- This is an event!
13
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,632
This is the second anniversary
of Babylon 5 going online.
14
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,831
When this station opened...
15
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,591
...75% of ISN viewers said
this place wouldn't last five minutes!
16
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:08,358
Lloyd's of London put the odds of this
station lasting one year at 500-to-1.
17
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:09,999
Against!
18
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,795
Is there a bathroom around here?
19
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,672
Third door to your left.
20
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,478
That way.
21
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,112
The blue one is for methane breathers.
22
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:28,039
I'd steer clear, if I were you.
23
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,752
What the hell.
24
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,795
If that thing leaves a waxy yellow
buildup on anything...
25
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,230
...I'm coming back here.
26
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,915
Julie, hand me that separator.
27
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,033
I've just about got the RNA strand
where I want it.
28
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,673
Get it yourself.
29
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,918
Vance? What are you doing here?
30
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:02,672
I was in the sector, I thought I'd
stop by and visit my favorite student.
31
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,353
I've come to offer an adventure,
Stephen.
32
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,632
Possibly the biggest you've ever had.
33
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,075
What kind of adventure?
34
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,874
You'll find out soon enough.
35
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:19,279
Savor the mystery, Stephen.
36
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,593
We don't get nearly enough of them.
37
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:29,829
Tired?
38
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,792
Yeah, long day.
39
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,515
But your ship's the last one in.
Anything to declare?
40
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,508
Any plants? Nonsentient pets?
Organic matter?
41
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,872
Nothing organic.
Just some pottery and stonework.
42
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:45,189
Funny thing.
43
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:50,798
The bottom of the box on the inside is
four inches shorter than the outside.
44
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,753
Like there was a hidden compartment.
45
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,509
I'd almost think you were
smuggling something in.
46
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,199
Not a chance!
47
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,075
No, it's just packing material
to protect the stuff.
48
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,429
Here, let me show you.
49
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,677
It was the dawn
of the Third Age of mankind...
50
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,792
... 1 0 years after
the Earth-Minbari War.
51
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,037
The Babylon Project
was a dream given form.
52
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,192
Its goal: to prevent another war
by creating a place...
53
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,273
... where humans and aliens
could work out their differences.
54
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,313
It's a port of call,
home away from home...
55
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,632
... for diplomats, hustlers
entrepreneurs and wanderers.
56
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,914
Humans and aliens,
wrapped in 2,500,000 tons...
57
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,870
... of spinning metal,
all alone in the night.
58
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,516
It can be a dangerous place.
59
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,353
But it's our last,
best hope for peace.
60
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,236
This is the story of the last
of the Babylon stations.
61
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,556
The year is 2258.
62
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,036
The name of the place is Babylon 5.
63
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,038
- How does it look?
- Looks like natural causes.
64
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,436
- Heart attack.
- That suddenly?
65
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:04,031
It's possible. I'll know more
after we do an autopsy.
66
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,751
- Did you know him?
- No, he just started the other day.
67
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,833
Nothing in his personnel jacket
about a heart condition.
68
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,471
And exactly which medical school
did you attend, Mr. Garibaldi?
69
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,349
Nothing personal, doc.
I just want to be sure.
70
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,033
So do I.
71
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,755
I'll assign my best people
to the autopsy. Fair enough?
72
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,960
Meanwhile, go on with work as usual.
73
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,072
As soon as I hear anything,
I'll tell you.
74
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:35,669
Go ahead and remove the body now.
75
00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:45,912
We had a problem
at one of the docking bays.
76
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,513
What is this all about?
77
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,439
I need your help.
78
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,919
You're an archaeologist.
Everything you touch is dead.
79
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,915
My area of expertise is more current,
and a lot warmer.
80
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,710
I'd like to introduce you
to my assistant.
81
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,750
Nelson, meet Dr. Stephen Franklin,
one of the best students I've had.
82
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,869
In the area of alien history,
anatomy and culture.
83
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:18,433
Dr. Hendricks told me all about you
on our way from our dig on lkarra 7.
84
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,034
Dig?
85
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,232
You found something.
86
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:23,833
Show him.
87
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,436
That's funny, I just had
an energy spike on my screen.
88
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,949
- Same here.
- What's the location?
89
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,430
I thought it was around Medlab.
I'm not sure.
90
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:42,270
It was just there for a second.
Might have been a malfunction.
91
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,115
- Run a diagnostic check to be sure.
- Will do.
92
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,037
We were on a dig
for Interplanetary Expeditions...
93
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,277
...when we found these artifacts
in a vault...
94
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,792
...buried nearly a mile
beneath the surface of lkarra 7.
95
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,672
Ikarra 7 is a dead world.
96
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,917
But that proves what I've said
for years.
97
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,910
Ikarra was once home to a highly
advanced, space-faring society.
98
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,758
Extraordinary. How old are they?
99
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,871
Minimum, 1 000 years.
100
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,114
No chips, no sign of wear or age.
101
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,914
It's as if they were made yesterday.
102
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,951
What were they made to do?
103
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,798
That's where you come in.
104
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,748
- Vance, I told you...
- I know, I know. Humor me.
105
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,759
Put it in your medical scanner.
106
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,839
Veins, capillaries, traces of DNA.
107
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,795
This is composed of living tissue.
This is organic technology.
108
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,311
The one trick that Earth
hasn't yet cracked.
109
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,871
The ability to create living ships
that thrive in the vacuum.
110
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,039
Weapons that produce power
through internal generation...
111
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,800
...like a firefly lights up at night.
112
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:14,553
The ultimate synthesis of
machine technology and living tissue.
113
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,910
Magnificent.
114
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,595
This was a scanner of some kind.
115
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,514
The entire surface tissue
is photosensitive.
116
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:28,754
Retinal cones and rods to detect
wideband light frequencies. Amazing!
117
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,679
Why didn't you tell me
when you arrived?
118
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,308
I did. We've only been here
a few hours.
119
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,553
But organic material has to be
quarantined for 48 hours.
120
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:43,919
We put it through quarantine
at the transfer station off Proxima 3.
121
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,398
It's all approved and authorized.
Nelson has all the paperwork.
122
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,031
Don't you see what this means?
123
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,835
This is a blueprint
for living machines.
124
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,192
The Vorlons have one.
Some say the Minbari have them.
125
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,995
We haven't seen them up close
to know how they work.
126
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:08,911
But with your expertise in genetics
and my background in archaeology...
127
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,759
...we now have the chance.
128
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,757
There are better-equipped
facilities on Earth.
129
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,872
I need someone I can trust.
130
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,755
You once told me that you wanted
your name to go down in history.
131
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,428
Alongside Fleming. Salk.
132
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,119
Jenner.
133
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,157
Takahashi.
134
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,909
Well, this is it, Stephen.
This is the mother lode.
135
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,835
I can't do it without you.
I need your help.
136
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,833
So are you in or out?
137
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,909
Finish unpacking, Nelson.
138
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,078
We have a lot of work ahead of us.
139
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,318
There you are.
Any word on the autopsy?
140
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,029
They think it's natural causes.
We'll know tomorrow.
141
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:18,110
We've also scheduled security to cover
the Narn-Centauri negotiations.
142
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,032
We can call it a day.
143
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,954
And you, lt. Commander?
Isn't the night shift on duty?
144
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,796
We picked up strange readings.
I'm waiting to see if it happens again.
145
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,428
- Is it serious?
- I'm trying to find out.
146
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,239
Keep me informed.
And get some sleep.
147
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:35,714
I will.
148
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,350
Oh, and your interview
is scheduled for 1 1 00 hours.
149
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:40,829
Swell.
150
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,352
Which reminds me.
She's waiting for me.
151
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:46,437
Why are you ducking her?
152
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:51,350
Last time I gave an interview, they
told me to say what I really felt.
153
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,399
After it aired, I got transferred
to an outpost so remote...
154
00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:58,233
...you couldn't find it
with a hunting dog.
155
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,951
Just be that charming commander
we've all come to know and love.
156
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,076
What could happen?
They fire you, and I get promoted.
157
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,432
- I don't see a problem here.
- How sharper than a serpent's tooth.
158
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,755
With all this technology,
you think there'd be a clock!
159
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:23,114
Stephen, it's been 1 5 hours.
We're gonna grow old and die in here.
160
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,519
Stephen?
161
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,320
There's a Martian war machine outside.
162
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,870
They'd like a word with you
about the common cold.
163
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,634
Tell them to make an appointment.
164
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,594
Something's been bothering me
ever since you got here.
165
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,517
Even if we figure out how this works,
what happens then?
166
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,792
We apply for a secondary patent...
167
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,639
...and sell it to
an Earth corporation.
168
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:04,197
That's what I'm talking about.
You're a brilliant man, Vance.
169
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,755
You were an inspiration to me.
170
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,276
You should make discoveries,
not raid dead worlds...
171
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,392
...for whatever you can
scavenge and sell!
172
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,469
Right. Mountains of paper.
Vanishing grants.
173
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:18,868
Who has time?
174
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,838
Exactly! That's my point!
175
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,631
This may be important,
but you didn't create it.
176
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,634
You just found it.
It's a shortcut.
177
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,312
I don't like corporations financing
expeditions to alien worlds...
178
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,193
...so they can steal
the technology they have.
179
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,436
It feels like grave-robbing.
180
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,956
Do you know the cost of an
off-world expedition?
181
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,909
More money than a professor
makes in a lifetime.
182
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,277
If the corporations won't pay,
who will?
183
00:13:54,600 --> 00:14:00,232
In the last five years, I've seen
things off-world you can't imagine.
184
00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:05,390
I stood in the lbendi Desert and saw
all seven moons go into eclipse.
185
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,559
I've walked in vaults sealed longer
than humans have existed...
186
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,235
...breathing air that's
5 million years old.
187
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,398
Call that a shortcut if you will...
188
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,390
...but I've lived.
189
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,109
By God, Stephen, I have lived.
190
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,110
At least my hands are clean.
How about yours?
191
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,951
- What's that supposed to mean?
- Who is Interplanetary Expeditions?
192
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:37,314
You said they fronted this expedition,
but I can't find information on them.
193
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,393
I didn't come halfway across space
to argue with you.
194
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:46,071
I came for your help and friendship.
If that's too big a burden...
195
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,432
No, it is not. I just wish you'd
stop taking shortcuts.
196
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:55,037
I suggest we get a good night's sleep
and start again tomorrow.
197
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,279
If you have any questions,
I'll be glad to answer them. Fair?
198
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:00,833
Yeah.
199
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,629
And we made it out of the desert.
200
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,913
Later, Commander Sinclair put me
on security for Babylon 5.
201
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,590
- It's been a great time...
- Yes, I'm sure it has.
202
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:20,954
I've come across several rumors about
your record prior to Babylon 5.
203
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:26,752
That you were fired five times and
this is your last chance to make good.
204
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:28,799
Care to comment?
205
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,551
I'd rather have my tonsils taken out
through my ears.
206
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,952
Lights!
207
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,118
Nelson?
208
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,596
Vance?
209
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:41,958
My God!
210
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,712
Nelson, what happened?
211
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,552
Protect.
212
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:51,788
When did it happen?
213
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,629
- Last night. He's in the infirmary.
- What's his condition?
214
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,956
Stunned. Bumps and bruises.
215
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,436
Dr. Hernandez says it's okay
to ask questions.
216
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:18,200
- You shouldn't be walking around yet.
- I'm a doctor. I know what I'm doing.
217
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,911
On second thought... .
218
00:17:22,120 --> 00:17:24,429
Do you remember anything?
219
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:29,430
Not much. I turned around
and there he was, like I said.
220
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,949
The weapon was like the
organic artifacts we worked on.
221
00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:36,588
Organic? Were they checked at customs?
222
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,239
I was told they were.
223
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,990
Check into it.
This Nelson, who's he working for?
224
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,835
- Vance Hendricks.
- The one who brought in the artifacts?
225
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:47,792
Interesting.
226
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,280
I haven't heard a satisfactory answer.
227
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,040
I'm getting tired of asking for one.
228
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,193
Dr. Franklin was attacked by your
assistant, covered in armor...
229
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,631
...similar to the artifacts
you brought here.
230
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:11,794
Which weren't cleared for access.
Organic material requires quarantine.
231
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,879
There's no record of that here
or at Proxima 3.
232
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,270
I'm as much in the dark as you are.
233
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,716
Nelson told me that he checked them.
I believed him.
234
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:27,000
A dangerous alien technology
was smuggled aboard this station.
235
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,909
I hold you personally responsible.
Is that clear?
236
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,039
Yes, it is. Any news
of Stephen's condition?
237
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:36,838
They're checking him out.
238
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,713
He took a pretty bad hit.
239
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:44,113
But I'm told he's gonna be okay.
He's up and around.
240
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,269
Thank God.
241
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,199
What can you tell us
about these artifacts?
242
00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:51,716
They're a kind of organic technology.
Limited energy.
243
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,351
In order to achieve mobility,
they graft onto another life form.
244
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,832
It's possible that they'd try
to assimilate Nelson.
245
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,834
My guess would be
that he's under their control.
246
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:06,758
For what purpose?
247
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,270
Why would they assimilate Nelson
but not you?
248
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:15,190
Unknown. As to what it wants,
that depends on its programming.
249
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:19,876
According to Dr. Franklin,
before it fired, it said, "Protect. "
250
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,032
Might that be the key
to its program?
251
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:24,639
Maybe.
252
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,549
But the question is, protect who?
253
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,112
And from what?
254
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,875
That information may be
contained in the artifacts...
255
00:19:36,120 --> 00:19:39,590
...if I could assist Dr. Franklin
in decoding them.
256
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:44,231
If I'm responsible for this,
the least I can do is help finish it.
257
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:45,555
Done.
258
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,600
That's what I told her!
259
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:01,233
Protect.
260
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,194
I've picked up
that energy flash again!
261
00:20:04,360 --> 00:20:08,114
Grey 1 3, Level B.
And there's something else.
262
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,512
The energy pattern has changed.
It's 20% more powerful than before.
263
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,351
I have security on the link.
264
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,715
We've got two
fatalities in Grey 1 3.
265
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,475
Same thing that attacked doc.
We're in pursuit on Grey 7.
266
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,235
I'm moving to a level two alert.
Keep this channel open.
267
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,517
Commander, is there a problem?
Some kind of attack?
268
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,508
Ms. Cramer, you are in a secure
area. You will leave now.
269
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,229
This is news. And the
people have a right to know.
270
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,510
You'll spend
two days in the brig!
271
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,797
- I want this weapon triangulated!
- Confirmed.
272
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,431
I want this thing pinned
down to within 1 0 feet.
273
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:14,914
Coming up now.
274
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,433
Commander?
275
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,193
Don't. You're too young
to experience that much pain.
276
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,073
He's cornered
in Grey 5.
277
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,835
We can take him. We need lights.
He blacked out the place.
278
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,274
Coming online now.
279
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,639
Take him down!
280
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,198
Protect.
281
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:20,315
Go!
282
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,234
Move in!
283
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,759
Damn!
284
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:32,629
We've lost him.
285
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,429
He burned through a sublevel
moving between bulkheads.
286
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,910
The bulkheads make it
difficult to pinpoint location.
287
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:41,832
We won't know until he fires.
288
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,992
Have your teams sweep
each sector moving inward.
289
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,435
Two on a team,
five-minute proximity.
290
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,591
Confirmed, security out.
291
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,632
Vance, come here.
I think I found something.
292
00:22:55,520 --> 00:23:00,753
There. Organic patterns in this piece
emulate synaptic relays in the brain.
293
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,879
Cross-genetic equivalents of
serotonin to transfer information.
294
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,519
A data storage device?
295
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,434
With that information, we
might get an idea of the lkarrans.
296
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,637
And more importantly,
why they made these things.
297
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,429
Fire up the biosensor,
let's see if we can tap into it.
298
00:23:30,120 --> 00:23:34,989
We're moving through every section to
flush him out, but he's underground.
299
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:39,039
To do the most damage, he'll
head for the greatest population.
300
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,395
Central corridor is a prime target.
301
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,994
His record shows
a hit-and-run pattern.
302
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,039
Every time he strikes, it chews
up energy. He has to recharge.
303
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:49,349
Couple of problems.
304
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,193
One: His periods
of latency are shorter.
305
00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:56,911
Two: The energy level when he
fires increases by 20 percent.
306
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,116
The last burst
was off the scale.
307
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,398
If he builds power at that rate,
he could destroy the station.
308
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:09,032
So the next chance we get to stop
him might be our last chance.
309
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,671
All right, listen up!
310
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,269
I need this cleared!
Room to maneuver.
311
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,750
I want guards on the doors,
second level and catwalk.
312
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,194
Move it! Let's go!
313
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:25,114
- Energy readings off the scale.
- It's on the move again.
314
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,589
It's heading for the
central corridor.
315
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,796
Garibaldi, it's
heading your way.
316
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,473
We'll be ready for it.
317
00:24:32,360 --> 00:24:35,477
Win, lose or draw, it
will know it was in a fight.
318
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,949
Drop the pressure
doors on all sides.
319
00:24:38,120 --> 00:24:40,873
- Give Garibaldi time to get set.
- Affirmative.
320
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,156
We've accessed the organic
memory banks of an artifact.
321
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,471
Make it short. Let me
know when it's on the move.
322
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,717
The lkarrans were invaded
half a dozen times.
323
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:03,555
Each assault deadlier.
They created the perfect weapon...
324
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,679
...able to adapt to any situation,
capable of independent thought.
325
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,230
Temperature up 90 degrees
in Brown 2, Level C.
326
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:17,870
It would take years to create synthetic
intelligence, so they incorporated...
327
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,510
...brain-wave patterns of a
researcher into the weapons.
328
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:27,391
That's him. His name was Tularr.
But people can be fooled.
329
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,155
To prevent confusion
by an enemy's instructions...
330
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:36,599
...they hardwired the machine, half
not to respond to any impure lkarrans.
331
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,070
Just one problem, how do
you define a pure lkarran?
332
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:45,832
Or a pure human?
No one is pure. No one.
333
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,678
Temperature's up 500 degrees.
334
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,509
Doctor, I'm joining
Mr. Garibaldi on the line.
335
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,153
Who set the parameters
of being pure lkarran?
336
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:09,074
A coalition of religious fanatics
and military extremists.
337
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,313
They programmed the weapons
with standards based on ideology.
338
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,313
Like the Nazi ideal
of the perfect Aryan.
339
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,517
In the next invasion,
1 1 machines were released.
340
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:24,754
They stopped invaders by killing anyone
not matching the pure, perfect lkarran.
341
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,593
Then the machines
turned on their creators.
342
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:32,470
They exterminated based on deviations
of what they consider normal.
343
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,359
They killed until
the last lkarran was dead.
344
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:36,635
And the weapons?
345
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,553
They were destroyed
by centuries of neglect.
346
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,756
Except number 1 2
which is here...
347
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,310
...protecting a world that's
been dead for 1 000 years.
348
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:50,110
You said they incorporated the brain
patterns of one of their researchers.
349
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,589
Is there anything
we can reason with?
350
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,719
There's a personality matrix.
It's subsumed by its programming.
351
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,111
We'll have to find a way
around the program's logic.
352
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,319
Better head back to Medlab.
I suspect we'll need your services.
353
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:07,794
Weapon!
354
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,070
Not yet!
I want it point-blank.
355
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:37,994
Fire!
356
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,073
Cease fire!
357
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,278
It's in the next level!
It's a straight line to the civilians.
358
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,476
- How many men there?
- Not enough.
359
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,790
We hit it with everything we had.
360
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,157
Weapons big enough to kill it
would kill everybody.
361
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,278
- We'll have to blow out the hull.
- Where are you going?
362
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,115
I'll lure it to the dock area
and blow out the air lock.
363
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,111
Nothing can live
in a vacuum!
364
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,077
How will you get it there?
365
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,756
By going straight to its personality
matrix. I'll try and make it mad!
366
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,596
Make it mad?
Are you nuts?! Commander!
367
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,432
Tularr?
368
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,194
Tularr of lkarra 7?
369
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,514
My name.
370
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,110
My name!
371
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,039
Who knows my name?
372
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,154
Who knows my name?
373
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:06,108
Your name is dead, Tularr.
374
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,877
Your world is dead.
375
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,995
Ikarra lives!
lkarra must be protected!
376
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:21,514
You failed. You've
failed in your mission!
377
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,030
Ikarra is dead!
378
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,435
By your own hand!
379
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,108
You and others like you!
380
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,551
That is a lie!
It is a lie!
381
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,192
Ikarra is dead!
382
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,352
Protect!
383
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,434
Ready to initiate
emergency decompression.
384
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,272
Wait! Wait!
385
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,070
- Come on!
- Protect.
386
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:23,233
- Protect who? From what?
- Impure!
387
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:28,989
Yes, impure! You must protect
against all who are not pure lkarran!
388
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:30,235
Yes!
389
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,637
And your own people,
how pure were they?
390
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,075
- Pure!
- How pure?
391
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,955
They didn't feed you facts,
they fed you propaganda!
392
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:44,796
They programmed you with standards
of genetic purity no one could match!
393
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,714
- Not even your own people!
- Liar!
394
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,551
Seal area. Stand by
to blow air lock, depressurize.
395
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,280
If we depressurize now,
you'll be killed.
396
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:06,434
Only one way out past that thing.
I'm dead either way. Seal it. Now!
397
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,679
- Stand by.
- Ikarra lives!
398
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,519
Ikarra must be protected!
399
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,597
There is no lkarra!
Not the way you remember it.
400
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,196
The others like you, they
beat the invaders, all right.
401
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:31,070
Just like they were programmed. They
killed anything that was different.
402
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,915
Alien. But we're all
aliens to one another.
403
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,112
Flawed, impure, different!
404
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:39,355
No!
405
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,828
Too tall, too short,
too dark, too light!
406
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:45,474
Imperfect!
407
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,996
They were killed, and
the killing went on and on!
408
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:50,388
No!
409
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:54,912
The man you took over,
Nelson, he's seen lkarra!
410
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,755
Ikarra after the others
finished protecting it!
411
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,799
Cleansing it of every slightest
variation in genetics!
412
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,468
You can access his memories.
413
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,233
See for yourself!
414
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,079
Look inside his mind.
415
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,989
See what he's seen.
416
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,588
Go on, look into his mind.
417
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,110
He can't hide the truth,
he can't lie to you!
418
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,712
Look deep.
419
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,638
Look at it!
420
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,191
A desert.
421
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,118
Yes.
422
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:38,959
Dead.
423
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,032
A thousand years dead.
424
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:48,590
There's your pure world,
your perfect world!
425
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,313
- We did this?
- Yes.
426
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,876
- No!
- Damn you, look at it!
427
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,549
You and the rest, you forgot
the first rule of a fanatic:
428
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,508
When you become obsessed with
the enemy, you become the enemy!
429
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,992
Ikarra!
430
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:21,110
Great Maker...
431
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,674
...forgive us...
432
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,509
...this madness.
433
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,838
Forgive us.
434
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:14,917
Stephen, how's Nelson?
435
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,640
- Medlab 2, resting.
- Good.
436
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:22,351
Vance, I found this
in Nelson's effects.
437
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,676
It's meant for cardio stimulation.
438
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:29,630
If used on a healthy person, it could
cause cardiac infarction and death.
439
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,634
The body of the customs guard
had two tiny marks on the back!
440
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:38,430
So small we missed them at first,
but they do match the prongs there.
441
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,915
I spoke to Nelson.
442
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,078
He confirms things I'd hoped
I was wrong about.
443
00:34:44,240 --> 00:34:47,710
You knew he didn't put the
artifacts through quarantine.
444
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,792
He was acting on your
orders the whole time.
445
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,591
For God's sake, Vance, why?
446
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,550
Interplanetary Expeditions...
447
00:34:59,720 --> 00:35:03,793
...the corporation that financed
the dig on lkarra 7, is a front.
448
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,589
A front for a bioweapons supplier.
449
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:12,151
I could have turned over the artifacts,
taken the standard commission.
450
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:17,189
But if they were what I suspected,
organic weapons, then I could...
451
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,557
...hold back on delivery, and they...
- Pay millions?
452
00:35:20,720 --> 00:35:24,599
Or more. More money
than you can conceive.
453
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:29,999
Before you took the chance, you had
to be sure, so you brought them here.
454
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:35,154
You endangered a quarter million humans
and aliens to raise your profit margin!
455
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,676
I thought I'd control it.
I didn't expect anyone to be hurt.
456
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:43,118
- And the murdered customs guard?
- We had to get them past customs.
457
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:48,877
Nelson said he'd do it. I didn't
ask how. There was too much at stake.
458
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,038
That's why the weapon
bonded to him, not us.
459
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:56,910
- It needed someone willing to kill.
- Look, we can work all this out.
460
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,311
We can sell artifacts
to Interplanetary Expeditions.
461
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,153
They have the muscle
to clean up this mess.
462
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,675
All you have to do is...
463
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,270
...not turn me in.
464
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:14,835
I mean, just think what you
could do with all that money.
465
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:26,832
It's too late.
466
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,279
Stephen.
467
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,317
Come.
468
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,271
You've looked better.
469
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,512
- Can I talk to you for a second?
- Sure.
470
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:13,036
You were willing to risk
your life to stop that thing.
471
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,117
- I didn't...
- Let me finish.
472
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:19,239
It's the third time in a year
you've put yourself on the line.
473
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,595
I didn't know anyone was counting.
474
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,028
Jeff...
475
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,512
...you're my friend.
476
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,755
You've been my friend longer
than you've been my officer...
477
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,354
...so I think I'm
entitled to say this.
478
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,193
We were both in
Earthforce during the war.
479
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:40,990
I wasn't on the line,
but I did my share.
480
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,996
I know a lot of guys who came
out of the war changed.
481
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,879
Some came out better,
some came out worse.
482
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,315
A lot of them have this problem.
483
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,035
The war gave them definition,
direction, purpose!
484
00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:00,512
Without it, they look for ways
to go out in a blaze of glory.
485
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,399
Some people call that
being a hero. Maybe.
486
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,479
I don't know,
I've never been one.
487
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:12,514
Me, I think they're looking
for something worth dying for...
488
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:16,719
...because it's easier than finding
something worth living for.
489
00:38:19,720 --> 00:38:21,073
Finished?
490
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:24,599
Yeah.
491
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,637
I guess that covers it.
492
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,359
Michael...
493
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,428
...I don't have an answer for you...
494
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,432
...and...
495
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,355
...I think maybe I should.
496
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:47,633
Thanks.
497
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,830
You seem troubled, doctor.
498
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,275
No, I'm just thinking.
499
00:39:12,240 --> 00:39:16,677
The lkarra fought against invaders
like we fought against the Minbari.
500
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,229
They became obsessed with it.
501
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,312
Back home there's
a growing pro-Earth movement.
502
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,438
Rumors of hate groups
targeting aliens.
503
00:39:25,720 --> 00:39:28,598
And on all sides, the fanatics.
504
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:33,555
They think society has to be protected
against anyone who's different.
505
00:39:33,720 --> 00:39:38,510
I'm starting to wonder if what we just
saw is a preview of things to come?
506
00:39:38,720 --> 00:39:40,995
I can't believe
we'd be that foolish.
507
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:47,273
Santayana: "Those who do not remember
the past are condemned to repeat it. "
508
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:52,031
I must confiscate the artifacts
and transfer them to Earth Central.
509
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:53,394
On whose authority?
510
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,636
Earthforce,
bioweapon division.
511
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,634
Something about studying them
for planetary security reasons.
512
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,268
It seems no one
reads Santayana anymore.
513
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:07,116
Excuse me. I'll be over there, getting
drunk with the rest of the aliens.
514
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,829
So, after all you've just gone
through, I have to ask you...
515
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:23,160
...the same question people back home
are asking about space these days.
516
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:24,998
Is it worth it?
517
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,869
Should we pull back, forget
the whole thing as a bad idea...
518
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,600
...and take care of our
problems at home?
519
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,150
No. We have to stay here.
520
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,271
There's a simple reason why.
521
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:42,110
Ask 1 0 scientists about environment,
population control, genetics...
522
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,475
...you'll get 1 0 different answers.
523
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:48,519
But there's one thing every
scientist on the planet agrees on.
524
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,992
Whether it happens in 1 00 years,
or 1 000 years or a million years...
525
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,914
...eventually our sun will
grow cold and go out.
526
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:01,033
When that happens,
it won't just take us...
527
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:06,271
...it will take Marilyn Monroe,
and Lao-tzu and Einstein...
528
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:12,157
...and Morobuto and Buddy
Holly and Aristophanes... .
529
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,191
And all of this...
530
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,596
...all of this...
531
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:18,756
...was for nothing...
532
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,633
...unless we go to the stars.
533
