1
00:00:08,383 --> 00:00:11,470
You know, I've been stuck
in this tin can for three years.
2
00:00:11,637 --> 00:00:14,973
I haven't taken a vacation.
Okay, okay, it's my fault.
3
00:00:15,140 --> 00:00:17,226
I had the leave coming,
I just didn't take it.
4
00:00:17,392 --> 00:00:19,394
The pay sucks,
I knew that when I signed on.
5
00:00:19,561 --> 00:00:22,397
And nobody said I'd survive the job.
Now, I give you all that.
6
00:00:22,564 --> 00:00:24,608
But where in my contract does it say...
7
00:00:24,816 --> 00:00:29,905
...that I have to eat the same food
for breakfast every day for three years?
8
00:00:30,781 --> 00:00:35,035
Paragraph 47, subsection 19, clause 9A.
9
00:00:35,202 --> 00:00:38,247
You can find it in the index under S. U. A. E. I.
10
00:00:38,413 --> 00:00:40,791
S. U. A. E. I.?
11
00:00:40,958 --> 00:00:43,752
- Shut up and eat it.
- Shut up and eat it.
12
00:00:43,919 --> 00:00:46,046
Excuse me, commander.
13
00:00:56,473 --> 00:00:58,433
- What?
- It's nothing.
14
00:01:00,727 --> 00:01:02,938
- I smell bacon and eggs.
- Get out of here.
15
00:01:03,105 --> 00:01:06,024
You know how much it costs
to bring eggs out here before they spoil?
16
00:01:06,191 --> 00:01:08,652
I have tried for years, it can't--
17
00:01:10,863 --> 00:01:12,698
Bacon and eggs. Definitely.
18
00:01:15,367 --> 00:01:19,288
It's from Marcus.
It's nothing like that. I did him a favor.
19
00:01:19,454 --> 00:01:23,500
I helped get him an ldenticard so that
he could use some facilities on the station.
20
00:01:23,709 --> 00:01:27,087
He asked what he could do for me in return,
and I said surprise me.
21
00:01:27,254 --> 00:01:29,882
I can get anchovies. I can get olive oil.
22
00:01:30,048 --> 00:01:33,969
Anything that's prepackaged. I haven't
seen a fresh chicken egg in three years.
23
00:01:34,136 --> 00:01:36,680
- I mean cooked or otherwise.
- And bacon? Forget it.
24
00:01:39,141 --> 00:01:42,895
- Look, if you want it, it's yours.
- Oh, no. Wouldn't dream of it.
25
00:01:43,061 --> 00:01:45,606
Now, go on. Eat.
26
00:01:45,772 --> 00:01:48,525
- Don't mind us.
- We'll just sit right here.
27
00:01:48,692 --> 00:01:50,027
And watch.
28
00:01:51,403 --> 00:01:52,988
I'm gonna kill him.
29
00:01:53,906 --> 00:01:56,491
After breakfast. If I can find him.
30
00:02:23,519 --> 00:02:25,812
Get out of here! Go!
31
00:02:37,282 --> 00:02:39,034
Bastards!
32
00:03:07,563 --> 00:03:12,401
The Babylon Project was our last,
best hope for peace.
33
00:03:15,571 --> 00:03:17,072
It failed.
34
00:03:32,296 --> 00:03:36,383
But in the year of the Shadow War,
it became something greater...
35
00:03:36,550 --> 00:03:39,511
...our last, best hope for victory.
36
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:50,022
The year is 2260.
The place, Babylon 5.
37
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:37,402
As Senate hearings into the death of
President Santiago...
38
00:04:38,987 --> 00:04:44,159
...enter their sixth week, evidence from
President Clark's physician has surfaced.
39
00:04:44,326 --> 00:04:46,662
These records seem to indicate
that the illness...
40
00:04:46,828 --> 00:04:50,958
...which prevented President Clark from being
"aboard" Earthforce One "when it exploded..."
41
00:04:51,124 --> 00:04:53,627
...may have only been a convenient alibi.
42
00:04:53,794 --> 00:04:57,923
Representatives for President Clark speaking
before the Senate Investigative Committee...
43
00:04:58,090 --> 00:05:01,468
...dismissed these latest allegations,
describing them as attempts...
44
00:05:01,635 --> 00:05:05,389
...to destabilize Earthgov
from within and without.
45
00:05:05,556 --> 00:05:08,934
In related news, Earth Dome
Chief of Staff Bill Harris announced...
46
00:05:09,101 --> 00:05:11,854
...that a new alien race,
only recently detected...
47
00:05:12,020 --> 00:05:15,274
...may pose a significant threat
to planetary security.
48
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,151
When asked what was being done
to counter this threat...
49
00:05:18,318 --> 00:05:22,114
...Harris said only that extreme measures
may be required.
50
00:05:32,749 --> 00:05:35,085
Will she be all right?
51
00:05:35,252 --> 00:05:38,255
Well, there's no internal damage
or a concussion.
52
00:05:38,463 --> 00:05:40,674
Well, there's something to be thankful for.
53
00:05:40,841 --> 00:05:42,801
So who were the men attacking her?
54
00:05:42,968 --> 00:05:45,804
Businessmen, of a sort.
55
00:05:45,971 --> 00:05:48,974
They know the right doors to knock on,
the right words to say...
56
00:05:49,141 --> 00:05:54,605
...to get a list of names of people that other
people want found, captured or killed...
57
00:05:54,813 --> 00:05:56,523
...for the right price.
58
00:05:56,690 --> 00:05:59,401
- Why her? What did she do?
- Nothing...
59
00:06:00,027 --> 00:06:01,528
...yet.
60
00:06:04,740 --> 00:06:08,744
Keep a close eye on her, doctor.
I'll be back.
61
00:06:22,341 --> 00:06:24,551
Take five. I'll be okay.
62
00:06:27,513 --> 00:06:30,349
Thought I'd stop in
and see how you're doing.
63
00:06:30,516 --> 00:06:32,809
Fine, fine.
64
00:06:32,976 --> 00:06:34,478
Two weeks down, six to go...
65
00:06:34,686 --> 00:06:39,358
...before I've repaid my debt to society
for attacking Mollari.
66
00:06:39,525 --> 00:06:45,155
I've taken the opportunity provided
by my incarceration to meditate...
67
00:06:45,364 --> 00:06:46,990
...to think.
68
00:06:47,157 --> 00:06:49,952
- Sometimes I even sing.
- I know.
69
00:06:50,118 --> 00:06:52,663
- We got a petition.
- For or against?
70
00:06:52,871 --> 00:06:55,958
Based on the sound,
they think we're torturing you in here.
71
00:06:57,543 --> 00:07:00,128
Sit down, Mr. Garibaldi.
72
00:07:00,295 --> 00:07:05,300
You know, a true artist
is never appreciated in his own time.
73
00:07:05,467 --> 00:07:07,219
Or his own cellblock?
74
00:07:08,053 --> 00:07:12,015
And you?
Are you enjoying "The Book of G'Quan"?
75
00:07:12,182 --> 00:07:13,559
Well, what I can follow, yeah.
76
00:07:13,725 --> 00:07:16,353
I just wish there
were a translated version I could read.
77
00:07:16,562 --> 00:07:20,524
Sacrilege! It must be read
in the mother tongue or not at all.
78
00:07:21,692 --> 00:07:26,655
You know what's odd? You seem happier
in here than you were out there.
79
00:07:28,448 --> 00:07:32,536
In here, Mr. Garibaldi,
you cannot hide from yourself.
80
00:07:34,121 --> 00:07:37,916
Everything out there has only one purpose:
81
00:07:38,083 --> 00:07:41,003
To distract us from ourselves...
82
00:07:41,587 --> 00:07:44,089
...from what is truly important.
83
00:07:45,591 --> 00:07:48,218
There are no distractions in here.
84
00:07:49,386 --> 00:07:51,889
You can learn much from silence.
85
00:07:52,055 --> 00:07:56,894
- And what have you learned?
- I'm writing it all down right here.
86
00:07:57,603 --> 00:08:00,856
The war, the fall of Narn...
87
00:08:01,857 --> 00:08:06,653
...our mistakes,
and what must be done to correct them.
88
00:08:07,738 --> 00:08:11,158
I expect to have it finished
by the time I'm released.
89
00:08:11,325 --> 00:08:13,035
Can I see it?
90
00:08:14,661 --> 00:08:16,705
When it is done.
91
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,168
- Yeah.
- "Chief, we need you ASAP. Code 7"- "R."
92
00:08:21,335 --> 00:08:22,836
Our new friend says to tell you...
93
00:08:23,003 --> 00:08:25,088
...the package you've been
waiting for has arrived.
94
00:08:25,297 --> 00:08:27,424
All right, on my way.
I'll check in with you later.
95
00:08:27,591 --> 00:08:30,093
Remember that petition.
96
00:08:49,363 --> 00:08:52,074
Seven years ago, I saw something.
97
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,495
I was never able to prove it.
And after enough people said I was nuts...
98
00:08:56,662 --> 00:09:00,040
...I figured I'd shut up until I could find
somebody to back up my story.
99
00:09:00,207 --> 00:09:03,293
Well, I found her.
Her name is Dr. Mary Kirkish.
100
00:09:03,460 --> 00:09:07,673
Through the Rangers, I heard she was
on the run, so I asked Marcus to find her.
101
00:09:11,510 --> 00:09:14,847
She risked her life coming here.
A lot of people want her dead.
102
00:09:18,225 --> 00:09:20,978
Once she gets here,
once you talk to her...
103
00:09:21,144 --> 00:09:23,313
...you'll understand why.
104
00:10:03,061 --> 00:10:07,774
For the past 12 years I've been working
for lnterplanetary Expeditions.
105
00:10:07,941 --> 00:10:12,070
We conduct archaeological digs on other
worlds in search of new technology.
106
00:10:12,237 --> 00:10:13,739
Well, new to us, anyway.
107
00:10:13,906 --> 00:10:16,700
"Exploring the past
to create a better future."
108
00:10:16,867 --> 00:10:18,702
We've seen the ads.
109
00:10:18,869 --> 00:10:21,788
Seven years ago, I was stationed on Mars.
110
00:10:22,748 --> 00:10:25,000
We were always getting
false leads on artifacts...
111
00:10:25,167 --> 00:10:28,420
...supposedly buried beneath the Martian soil
for thousands of years.
112
00:10:28,587 --> 00:10:30,422
Nothing ever came of it.
113
00:10:30,589 --> 00:10:33,383
Then, one day, our sonic probes
picked up something 300 feet...
114
00:10:33,550 --> 00:10:36,261
...beneath the surface of Syria Planum.
115
00:10:36,428 --> 00:10:41,266
We didn't know what it was,
except it wasn't a natural formation.
116
00:10:41,975 --> 00:10:46,438
And given its depth, it had to have
been there at least 1000 years.
117
00:10:49,149 --> 00:10:51,735
It was the middle of the Martian winter,
so it took weeks...
118
00:10:51,944 --> 00:10:54,404
...just to dig half of it out of the ground.
119
00:10:54,947 --> 00:10:59,076
But that much was enough to give me
nightmares for the rest of my life.
120
00:11:08,627 --> 00:11:11,797
It's the same ship we've been seeing
on the news lately.
121
00:11:12,506 --> 00:11:15,425
The one that looks like
it came straight from hell.
122
00:11:17,845 --> 00:11:21,181
But back home, they're saying
they've never seen ships like this before.
123
00:11:21,348 --> 00:11:23,308
They're lying.
124
00:11:23,475 --> 00:11:24,685
I was there.
125
00:11:24,852 --> 00:11:27,312
Then why this campaign
to find out more about them?
126
00:11:27,479 --> 00:11:32,067
They may be using this threat as an excuse
to tighten security, restrict information.
127
00:11:32,234 --> 00:11:36,530
If this is true, they haven't been trying
to find out what these ships are.
128
00:11:36,697 --> 00:11:39,741
They're trying to find out
who else knows about them.
129
00:11:39,908 --> 00:11:43,912
That's an awfully big conclusion
based on finding just one ship.
130
00:11:44,746 --> 00:11:47,291
There was just one ship, wasn't there?
131
00:11:53,213 --> 00:11:55,257
That was just the start.
132
00:11:56,008 --> 00:11:58,010
It gets worse.
133
00:11:58,177 --> 00:12:02,264
Only a handful of people know
what happened after that, including me.
134
00:12:02,890 --> 00:12:06,393
All the others are either dead or missing.
135
00:12:07,186 --> 00:12:10,814
Once I leave here, sooner or later,
they'll find me and I'll disappear.
136
00:12:11,023 --> 00:12:13,650
Before that happens, someone has to know.
137
00:12:14,359 --> 00:12:17,196
Someone has to stop them
before it's too late.
138
00:12:19,948 --> 00:12:21,992
We told Earth Central what we'd found.
139
00:12:22,159 --> 00:12:24,828
It was a strike of a lifetime.
We were all very excited.
140
00:12:26,038 --> 00:12:30,417
But there was something about it
that made us nervous.
141
00:12:30,876 --> 00:12:32,836
Then one worker,
who was clearing away the dirt...
142
00:12:33,045 --> 00:12:35,047
...accidentally touched it
with his bare hand.
143
00:12:35,214 --> 00:12:39,051
He died instantly, as if the life
had just been sucked right out of him.
144
00:12:39,593 --> 00:12:42,304
Did you ever get a reply
from Earth Central?
145
00:12:42,471 --> 00:12:44,223
No, not at first.
146
00:12:45,098 --> 00:12:48,185
But a week later, we were suddenly
ordered to stop digging...
147
00:12:48,393 --> 00:12:51,522
...and pull back to our secondary base
two miles away.
148
00:12:52,689 --> 00:12:54,441
Well, we didn't want to go...
149
00:12:54,608 --> 00:12:57,569
...but we were told anyone
who didn't move would be fired.
150
00:12:57,736 --> 00:13:00,155
So we moved.
151
00:13:01,490 --> 00:13:04,117
For six days we just sat there waiting...
152
00:13:04,284 --> 00:13:07,788
...while unmarked shuttles moved in and out
of the area surrounding the dig.
153
00:13:09,081 --> 00:13:11,500
And then suddenly everything stopped.
154
00:13:12,042 --> 00:13:14,753
No shuttles, no communication, nothing.
155
00:13:19,591 --> 00:13:21,552
That's when I saw it.
156
00:13:34,773 --> 00:13:36,942
I just wanted to run away and hide.
157
00:13:37,109 --> 00:13:39,111
Jump in a hole
and pull the ground in over me...
158
00:13:39,278 --> 00:13:41,154
...but there was nowhere to go.
159
00:13:41,864 --> 00:13:43,991
Nothing to do but watch.
160
00:13:45,242 --> 00:13:48,745
At first, I thought it was destroying
the other ship.
161
00:13:53,542 --> 00:13:56,295
Then I realized it was digging it out.
162
00:14:02,259 --> 00:14:07,264
For 20, 25 minutes, nothing happened.
163
00:14:08,432 --> 00:14:10,142
Then we heard it.
164
00:14:16,148 --> 00:14:20,569
A sound that just reaches
right into your brain and rips it apart.
165
00:14:25,657 --> 00:14:28,660
The sound of something terrible
being born.
166
00:14:28,827 --> 00:14:31,830
They warned us that if we told anyone
what we'd seen...
167
00:14:31,997 --> 00:14:35,167
...there would be
unfortunate consequences.
168
00:14:35,959 --> 00:14:39,463
Then they broke us up,
assigned us to other worlds...
169
00:14:39,671 --> 00:14:42,799
...so we'd never have a chance
to talk to each other.
170
00:14:44,218 --> 00:14:46,136
What's your involvement in all this?
171
00:14:46,303 --> 00:14:49,515
I was piloting a shuttle on Mars
around the same time.
172
00:14:49,681 --> 00:14:53,769
We went down, two of us had
to get back to civilization on our own.
173
00:14:54,770 --> 00:14:57,648
I saw a part of what she just described.
174
00:14:57,814 --> 00:15:00,567
When I went back to check it out,
it was all gone.
175
00:15:01,485 --> 00:15:03,278
Except for....
176
00:15:04,321 --> 00:15:05,656
Except for this.
177
00:15:07,991 --> 00:15:09,243
Psi Corps.
178
00:15:09,826 --> 00:15:12,913
A few weeks ago,
I was called into a new dig.
179
00:15:13,705 --> 00:15:15,999
They found another one of these things.
180
00:15:16,166 --> 00:15:17,835
This time on Ganymede.
181
00:15:18,043 --> 00:15:19,837
But there's a difference.
182
00:15:20,921 --> 00:15:24,424
Whoever's behind this back home
doesn't want to give it back.
183
00:15:25,175 --> 00:15:28,720
In three days, they're going to take it
back to Earth, study its secrets...
184
00:15:28,887 --> 00:15:32,724
...and learn to use it against other races,
and if necessary, against our own people.
185
00:15:32,891 --> 00:15:34,643
That's why I had to warn someone.
186
00:15:34,810 --> 00:15:37,145
You can't let them get ahold
of one of these ships.
187
00:15:37,312 --> 00:15:39,189
They don't want it
so we can fight these things.
188
00:15:39,356 --> 00:15:42,067
They want us to become more like them.
189
00:15:44,528 --> 00:15:46,029
That's it.
190
00:15:47,239 --> 00:15:48,866
That's all I have to say.
191
00:15:49,074 --> 00:15:52,452
- They can kill me now. I don't care.
- That will not happen.
192
00:15:52,619 --> 00:15:55,706
We've made arrangements
to get you into Minbari space.
193
00:15:55,914 --> 00:16:00,419
- Lennier, please take care of Dr. Kirkish.
- Of course.
194
00:16:12,472 --> 00:16:17,728
If Earth and Psi Corps really are working
with the Shadows, this is too big.
195
00:16:18,729 --> 00:16:21,648
How can we fight something like that?
196
00:16:22,441 --> 00:16:25,736
I need to think about this for a while.
197
00:16:25,903 --> 00:16:27,696
Alone.
198
00:16:28,363 --> 00:16:30,908
I'll call you when I have something to say.
199
00:16:31,700 --> 00:16:33,744
Delenn, stay.
200
00:16:34,620 --> 00:16:36,914
I'm gonna need you for this.
201
00:16:42,753 --> 00:16:44,546
Zack.
202
00:16:44,713 --> 00:16:47,966
- Where's the chief?
- He's been in some meeting with the captain.
203
00:16:48,133 --> 00:16:52,012
- Something you want me to tell him?
- No, no, no. I was just checking.
204
00:16:52,179 --> 00:16:55,891
There's a Nightwatch meeting tomorrow.
I wanted to make sure you knew about it.
205
00:16:56,058 --> 00:16:58,977
Another one?
Come on, that's three this week.
206
00:16:59,144 --> 00:17:02,272
Eternal vigilance
is the price of freedom, Zack.
207
00:17:03,065 --> 00:17:06,485
Big things are coming.
We've got to be ready for them.
208
00:17:06,985 --> 00:17:08,820
See you tomorrow.
209
00:17:12,407 --> 00:17:14,701
You know,
sometimes watching them like this...
210
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,663
...without them even knowing we're here...
211
00:17:18,288 --> 00:17:20,916
...makes you feel a little like God,
doesn't it?
212
00:17:52,990 --> 00:17:53,991
It's done.
213
00:17:54,533 --> 00:17:57,119
I've sent Lennier ahead.
He'll make all the arrangements.
214
00:17:59,371 --> 00:18:01,540
Are you sure you wish
to go through with this?
215
00:18:10,340 --> 00:18:12,885
Then it's time to tell the others.
216
00:18:21,852 --> 00:18:25,063
Everyone in this room
knows what Earth is turning into.
217
00:18:25,898 --> 00:18:30,027
We can't allow President Clark
to get ahold of a Shadow ship.
218
00:18:30,194 --> 00:18:34,990
That kind of power in his hands could be
the end of everything we have worked for.
219
00:18:35,449 --> 00:18:39,369
We have got to stop that ship
before it leaves Ganymede.
220
00:18:39,536 --> 00:18:41,371
Swell. I love it.
221
00:18:41,538 --> 00:18:43,165
How?
222
00:18:44,750 --> 00:18:48,587
Delenn and I will take the "White Star"
into Earth- controlled space.
223
00:18:49,296 --> 00:18:51,131
With luck, we'll find the ship...
224
00:18:51,298 --> 00:18:54,801
...destroy it on the ground
before they can activate it. If not--
225
00:18:54,968 --> 00:18:58,055
You can't do this. As soon as you
open a jump point, you'll be picked up...
226
00:18:58,263 --> 00:19:00,557
- ...by the early warning system.
- I know.
227
00:19:00,724 --> 00:19:04,186
Our own ships will be sent in to destroy you.
You'll be completely outgunned!
228
00:19:04,353 --> 00:19:08,607
We understand. Neither of us has any
illusions about what we are planning to do.
229
00:19:08,774 --> 00:19:10,901
You can't take on Earth. I mean, not now.
230
00:19:11,068 --> 00:19:13,695
- Later--
- Later is too late.
231
00:19:13,862 --> 00:19:18,492
We've already notified the "White Star."
It's on standby, awaiting our arrival.
232
00:19:18,659 --> 00:19:22,246
So, what are you gonna do when they
open fire? Fire back on one of our own ships?
233
00:19:22,412 --> 00:19:25,415
- What if you're captured?
- We won't be captured.
234
00:19:25,624 --> 00:19:27,334
One way or another.
235
00:19:28,335 --> 00:19:31,296
The decision's mine and mine alone.
236
00:19:32,089 --> 00:19:33,382
And...
237
00:19:34,383 --> 00:19:35,926
...it's made.
238
00:19:37,970 --> 00:19:40,722
The rest of you will be needed here
to cover my absence.
239
00:19:40,889 --> 00:19:44,685
"It's a two"- "day jump to Earth space."
That's a long time to be gone.
240
00:19:45,435 --> 00:19:47,938
I'm leaving behind my Identicard,
my uniform...
241
00:19:48,146 --> 00:19:52,985
...command rank, anything that could lead
back here if something should go wrong.
242
00:19:54,027 --> 00:19:59,116
Susan, in our absence, I'm leaving you
and Garibaldi in charge of the Rangers.
243
00:19:59,283 --> 00:20:04,204
I'd tell you to take good care of the station,
but I know that's not necessary.
244
00:20:05,873 --> 00:20:10,043
I've left instructions in my desk
for a cover story if we don't come back.
245
00:20:10,210 --> 00:20:13,505
You'll send out my Starfury
"and use the auto"- "destruct sequence."
246
00:20:13,672 --> 00:20:18,218
Doctor, you'll provide the organic mass
to simulate a casualty.
247
00:20:28,645 --> 00:20:31,231
I wish none of this were necessary.
248
00:20:31,899 --> 00:20:35,736
But we all knew that, sooner or later,
we'd have to deal with Earth.
249
00:20:36,904 --> 00:20:40,324
So I guess it's time
we got down to business.
250
00:20:43,577 --> 00:20:46,330
If there's any way we can come back...
251
00:20:46,496 --> 00:20:47,998
...we will.
252
00:21:42,094 --> 00:21:44,555
As liaison to the Nightwatch
office back home...
253
00:21:44,721 --> 00:21:49,101
...I've received several disturbing
communiqué over the last few days.
254
00:21:49,268 --> 00:21:50,727
The good news is...
255
00:21:50,894 --> 00:21:56,108
...our efforts to find corruption
and disloyalty here and back home...
256
00:21:56,275 --> 00:21:59,111
...have succeeded
beyond our expectations.
257
00:21:59,278 --> 00:22:01,697
So, what's the bad news?
258
00:22:01,864 --> 00:22:04,741
Their findings confirm our worst fears.
259
00:22:05,325 --> 00:22:07,953
Earth has been sold out
by our own people.
260
00:22:08,120 --> 00:22:10,247
Senators, high- ranking military officers...
261
00:22:10,455 --> 00:22:14,918
...news media correspondents,
even some of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
262
00:22:15,711 --> 00:22:17,379
Everything we've been seeing lately:
263
00:22:17,546 --> 00:22:22,384
The libelous attacks on the president,
alien forces encroaching on our territory...
264
00:22:22,551 --> 00:22:24,636
...the lies and subversion
going on back home.
265
00:22:24,803 --> 00:22:29,141
They're all part of an organized effort
to weaken our government from within...
266
00:22:29,308 --> 00:22:32,561
- ...as a prelude to invasion.
- I don't believe this.
267
00:22:33,353 --> 00:22:36,481
They'll start making arrests
within the next two months.
268
00:22:36,732 --> 00:22:38,650
The lists have already been drawn up.
269
00:22:38,817 --> 00:22:40,652
What can we do to help?
270
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,947
Earth needs all the information
we can give her.
271
00:22:44,114 --> 00:22:45,616
Any source is acceptable.
272
00:22:45,824 --> 00:22:47,659
To make it easier for sources
to come forward...
273
00:22:47,826 --> 00:22:51,079
...we're going to allow them
to give us information anonymously.
274
00:22:51,246 --> 00:22:56,293
We're authorized to look into past history,
social contacts, party affiliations...
275
00:22:56,460 --> 00:23:01,465
...to conduct e- mail and vid surveillance
of Babcom and Stellarcom transmissions--
276
00:23:01,673 --> 00:23:07,054
Wait. Just how far does this go anyway?
Do we start suspecting everybody?
277
00:23:08,263 --> 00:23:10,182
No, of course not.
278
00:23:10,349 --> 00:23:13,393
Anyone in the Nightwatch
is automatically recognized...
279
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,313
...as working
in the best interests of Earth.
280
00:23:16,688 --> 00:23:19,525
As for the other officers, well...
281
00:23:20,317 --> 00:23:25,322
...we won't look at them unless we detect
any unusual activity on their part.
282
00:23:25,531 --> 00:23:27,491
In that case, may I ask a question?
283
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,703
Does anyone in this room
know where the captain is?
284
00:23:44,883 --> 00:23:46,301
Captain?
285
00:23:48,095 --> 00:23:49,513
Captain?
286
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,141
Mr. Lennier.
287
00:23:54,601 --> 00:23:56,186
What's our position?
288
00:23:56,353 --> 00:23:59,356
Thirty- two standard hours
from our destination.
289
00:23:59,565 --> 00:24:03,694
You have been up almost 20 hours.
I recommend sleep.
290
00:24:03,861 --> 00:24:05,863
No, I'm fine. I'm fine.
291
00:24:06,071 --> 00:24:09,032
If we should encounter resistance
at the end of our journey...
292
00:24:09,241 --> 00:24:13,704
...would it not be wise to confront it
rested and clear of mind?
293
00:25:16,558 --> 00:25:19,394
I wondered when you would get some sleep.
294
00:25:21,271 --> 00:25:24,441
You have a most persistent attaché.
295
00:25:25,484 --> 00:25:27,069
How can you sleep in these things?
296
00:25:27,236 --> 00:25:29,780
It's quite simple with proper meditation.
297
00:25:29,988 --> 00:25:32,783
We consider sleeping in the horizontal
to be tempting death.
298
00:25:32,950 --> 00:25:36,870
Yeah, well, if I sleep on this,
I'll be tempting fate all night.
299
00:25:37,996 --> 00:25:39,623
Don't worry.
300
00:25:39,790 --> 00:25:42,417
I will watch
and catch you if you should fall.
301
00:25:43,502 --> 00:25:44,837
Okay.
302
00:25:46,129 --> 00:25:49,049
I doubt if I'll be getting any sleep anyway.
303
00:25:52,970 --> 00:25:54,346
It's funny.
304
00:25:55,013 --> 00:25:59,351
This will be the closest I've been
to Earth in four years.
305
00:26:00,394 --> 00:26:02,980
Who would have thought
I'd come back in a Minbari ship?
306
00:26:04,481 --> 00:26:06,650
You know what I miss most about home?
307
00:26:09,611 --> 00:26:14,366
The sound of rain hitting the roof at night.
308
00:26:15,492 --> 00:26:18,495
It always helped me fall asleep.
309
00:26:19,204 --> 00:26:21,748
Back when I was a kid
preparing for the academy...
310
00:26:23,458 --> 00:26:28,172
...I'd be up till 4 or 5 o'clock
in the morning studying.
311
00:26:28,338 --> 00:26:30,048
I'd have maybe...
312
00:26:30,215 --> 00:26:33,468
...two hours to sleep after that...
313
00:26:33,635 --> 00:26:36,138
...but I was so wound up.
314
00:26:37,097 --> 00:26:39,141
I'd just lie there.
315
00:26:39,308 --> 00:26:42,853
Same thing happened
the night before my final test.
316
00:26:44,062 --> 00:26:49,776
I just knew if I didn't get some sleep,
I'd never pass it.
317
00:26:49,943 --> 00:26:53,280
And did it begin to rain?
318
00:26:53,447 --> 00:26:54,781
No.
319
00:26:58,744 --> 00:27:00,495
But Dad....
320
00:27:02,289 --> 00:27:06,376
My dad heard me walking around.
321
00:27:06,543 --> 00:27:08,462
He knew I couldn't sleep.
322
00:27:08,629 --> 00:27:12,633
So he went outside,
he got the garden hose...
323
00:27:12,799 --> 00:27:15,886
...and sprayed it
so it came down on the roof.
324
00:27:18,263 --> 00:27:20,098
Just like rain.
325
00:27:20,849 --> 00:27:24,520
He stood there making it rain
until I fell asleep.
326
00:27:25,729 --> 00:27:30,067
I sometimes think he would have
stood there for days if he had to.
327
00:27:36,532 --> 00:27:38,450
I miss him.
328
00:27:44,831 --> 00:27:46,166
And right now...
329
00:27:48,585 --> 00:27:52,256
...more than anything else in the world,
I wish it would rain.
330
00:27:54,508 --> 00:27:57,135
Just for a little while.
331
00:28:16,446 --> 00:28:18,323
Sleep now.
332
00:28:33,338 --> 00:28:36,675
And according to one of our units
on the border of Centauri space...
333
00:28:36,842 --> 00:28:40,179
...they've continued massing their fleet.
We don't know why.
334
00:28:40,512 --> 00:28:43,307
Maybe they expect a counterattack.
It's hard to say.
335
00:28:44,683 --> 00:28:47,019
And they have much
to be concerned about.
336
00:28:47,603 --> 00:28:50,355
There's always the threat
of an attack by, say...
337
00:28:50,522 --> 00:28:54,318
...a giant space dragon, the kind
that eats the sun once every 30 days.
338
00:28:54,484 --> 00:28:57,404
It's a nuisance,
but what can you expect from reptiles?
339
00:28:58,197 --> 00:29:00,073
Did I mention that my nose is on fire...
340
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,536
...that I have 15 wild badgers
living in my trousers?
341
00:29:04,703 --> 00:29:06,538
I'm sorry, would you prefer ferrets?
342
00:29:06,705 --> 00:29:09,082
What I'd prefer is for you to--
343
00:29:09,249 --> 00:29:10,626
To what?
344
00:29:11,502 --> 00:29:13,003
I don't know.
345
00:29:13,170 --> 00:29:16,548
I don't know how to relate to you,
how you fit into anything here.
346
00:29:16,715 --> 00:29:19,343
I mean, where are you in the ranks?
Above, below?
347
00:29:19,551 --> 00:29:22,012
Left, right, in a box by the door?
348
00:29:22,221 --> 00:29:24,932
Doesn't matter.
And that's not really the problem, is it?
349
00:29:25,098 --> 00:29:28,060
If anything happens to the captain,
I'm holding you responsible.
350
00:29:28,227 --> 00:29:30,437
Because I sent him off
on a suicide mission.
351
00:29:30,604 --> 00:29:33,065
Ever since you've come here,
we've had nothing but trouble.
352
00:29:33,232 --> 00:29:35,943
He went of his own free will.
He didn't have to go.
353
00:29:36,109 --> 00:29:39,029
Yes, he did. You knew he would
when he found out what was going on.
354
00:29:39,196 --> 00:29:41,990
I'd rather assumed he would send me.
355
00:29:42,616 --> 00:29:44,117
Funny, that.
356
00:29:45,118 --> 00:29:48,413
But if you are right, and it was inevitable,
why blame me?
357
00:29:48,580 --> 00:29:50,958
Because we shouldn't have
to be doing this.
358
00:29:51,124 --> 00:29:54,253
Because he didn't have any business
taking out that ship without me.
359
00:29:54,419 --> 00:29:57,798
Because we're up against our own
government, and I don't know where I fit in!
360
00:29:57,965 --> 00:29:59,299
And damn it...
361
00:29:59,466 --> 00:30:02,511
...because I don't have
anybody else to blame!
362
00:30:05,389 --> 00:30:07,099
It's time.
363
00:30:08,267 --> 00:30:10,394
They should almost be there by now.
364
00:30:17,609 --> 00:30:19,236
All right, everyone.
365
00:30:19,403 --> 00:30:22,781
We've set off every long- range scanner
in the area, so we don't have a lot of time.
366
00:30:22,948 --> 00:30:25,409
- We have to--
- Captain. I'm picking up a signal...
367
00:30:25,576 --> 00:30:29,997
...on the frequency provided
by Dr. Kirkish. It's very faint.
368
00:30:30,497 --> 00:30:32,791
I can only get audio. It's from Ganymede.
369
00:30:33,166 --> 00:30:34,751
Put it through.
370
00:30:36,461 --> 00:30:40,924
IXP One "to Base." IXP One "to Base."
Ready to begin transference.
371
00:30:41,091 --> 00:30:45,345
Subject is approaching target.
Repeat. Subject is approaching target.
372
00:30:45,512 --> 00:30:46,847
What's he talking about?
373
00:30:47,014 --> 00:30:50,017
The Shadow vessels use living creatures
as their central core.
374
00:30:50,184 --> 00:30:53,145
Whoever steps inside merges with it,
becomes one with the ship.
375
00:30:53,312 --> 00:30:54,897
After that, it's fully functional.
376
00:30:55,063 --> 00:30:57,191
They must be sending someone
inside right now.
377
00:30:57,357 --> 00:30:59,610
Faster, Lennier. We need to get there.
378
00:31:03,030 --> 00:31:06,867
John, if whoever's going inside
hasn't been properly prepared...
379
00:31:07,034 --> 00:31:09,703
...the results could be disastrous.
380
00:31:09,870 --> 00:31:11,830
He's moving into the bridge.
381
00:31:11,997 --> 00:31:14,249
He's disappeared inside the ship.
382
00:31:14,875 --> 00:31:18,128
Something's happening.
We've lost bioscan.
383
00:31:18,295 --> 00:31:20,422
"Something's"--
Oh, my God!
384
00:31:20,589 --> 00:31:22,925
It's moving. It's moving!
385
00:31:26,053 --> 00:31:27,930
- We've got visual.
- Put it through.
386
00:31:46,031 --> 00:31:47,824
In Valen's name.
387
00:31:47,991 --> 00:31:49,535
It's awake.
388
00:32:06,677 --> 00:32:09,930
This is what I was afraid of.
The merging was not handled properly.
389
00:32:10,097 --> 00:32:13,600
The ship is out of control, insane.
It will destroy anything in its path.
390
00:32:13,767 --> 00:32:15,936
Then we've got to stop it
before anyone gets here.
391
00:32:16,103 --> 00:32:19,898
Engines at maximum.
Stand by, weapons system. Prepare to fire.
392
00:32:22,818 --> 00:32:26,738
John, if it's confused, disoriented,
we may have a chance. It's a small one--
393
00:32:26,905 --> 00:32:29,700
It's still more than an Earth cruiser
will have against that thing.
394
00:32:29,867 --> 00:32:30,951
Fire!
395
00:32:46,091 --> 00:32:48,468
- Damage to their ship?
- Negligible.
396
00:32:49,094 --> 00:32:52,097
Full power to forward batteries.
One focused burst.
397
00:32:53,265 --> 00:32:54,391
Fire!
398
00:32:56,977 --> 00:32:58,353
Minimal effect.
399
00:32:58,937 --> 00:33:00,939
Captain, its weapons are at full strength.
400
00:33:01,106 --> 00:33:03,483
If it hits us dead- on,
we cannot survive the blast.
401
00:33:03,650 --> 00:33:07,821
That's all right. I did what I needed to do.
I got him mad enough to follow us.
402
00:33:08,530 --> 00:33:10,699
Redirect power to engines. Come about.
403
00:33:10,866 --> 00:33:12,201
Course?
404
00:33:12,618 --> 00:33:14,203
Jupiter.
405
00:33:15,287 --> 00:33:16,830
We're going inside.
406
00:33:16,997 --> 00:33:20,626
If we can't out- fight it,
let's hope we can out- think it.
407
00:33:27,799 --> 00:33:30,677
- How much pressure can this thing take?
- Unknown.
408
00:33:30,844 --> 00:33:32,554
There was no time to test it.
409
00:33:32,721 --> 00:33:35,682
- What did you have in mind?
- That ship isn't fully functional yet.
410
00:33:35,849 --> 00:33:38,936
Once inside, it may not be able
to climb out of Jupiter's gravity well.
411
00:33:39,144 --> 00:33:42,481
It's possible we may not be able
to escape either.
412
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,025
I don't think we have much choice.
413
00:33:50,405 --> 00:33:54,034
External pressure's increasing,
approaching two standard gravities.
414
00:34:02,668 --> 00:34:06,380
- What was that? A new weapon?
- No.
415
00:34:06,547 --> 00:34:09,508
No, when they fired, the energy
must have ignited the local hydrogen.
416
00:34:09,842 --> 00:34:11,218
Gravity's increasing.
417
00:34:11,385 --> 00:34:13,929
Temperature at 10, 000 standard units.
418
00:34:14,096 --> 00:34:16,181
- 12, 000!
- Continue descent.
419
00:34:19,351 --> 00:34:22,187
Temperature's beyond safe limits.
Pressure at this depth...
420
00:34:22,354 --> 00:34:26,275
- ...is causing damage to the outer hull.
- Just a little longer.
421
00:34:26,441 --> 00:34:28,694
If we go any further,
we may not have enough power...
422
00:34:28,861 --> 00:34:30,487
...to escape before we're destroyed.
423
00:34:30,654 --> 00:34:33,949
If we turn back too soon and that
thing follows, we'll be dead either way!
424
00:34:34,116 --> 00:34:35,993
Now, stand by!
425
00:34:36,827 --> 00:34:40,372
Hull's buckling. Losing control....
426
00:34:40,706 --> 00:34:42,040
Now! Get us out of here!
427
00:34:49,214 --> 00:34:51,341
Full power!
Give me everything you've got!
428
00:34:51,508 --> 00:34:54,219
If I were holding anything back,
I would tell you.
429
00:35:21,246 --> 00:35:22,706
Any sign of the enemy?
430
00:35:22,873 --> 00:35:25,292
Scanners indicate it's been destroyed.
431
00:35:27,419 --> 00:35:28,587
Good.
432
00:35:29,171 --> 00:35:31,965
Then get us out of here
so we don't have to--
433
00:35:32,549 --> 00:35:35,469
- I thought you said we killed that thing.
- We did.
434
00:35:36,094 --> 00:35:40,224
This is the Earth Alliance destroyer
Agamemnon "to unidentified vessel."
435
00:35:40,390 --> 00:35:42,142
Oh, hell.
436
00:35:42,309 --> 00:35:44,394
We've recorded an attack in this sector.
437
00:35:44,603 --> 00:35:47,189
You will surrender your vessel
and prepare to be boarded.
438
00:35:49,233 --> 00:35:51,735
Of all the ships, why does it have
to be the "Agamemnon"?
439
00:35:51,944 --> 00:35:54,363
They must think we are responsible
for the attack on Ganymede.
440
00:35:54,530 --> 00:35:57,574
Of course.
It's the way our luck runs.
441
00:36:03,455 --> 00:36:05,415
Captain, shall I return fire?
442
00:36:08,252 --> 00:36:09,503
Captain...
443
00:36:09,795 --> 00:36:12,297
...shall I return fire?
444
00:36:13,173 --> 00:36:15,259
Negative. I won't fire on her.
445
00:36:15,425 --> 00:36:17,553
Are they equipped
for atmospheric maneuvering?
446
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,806
No. But they can track us down
like a bloodhound.
447
00:36:20,973 --> 00:36:25,727
They can wait us out. They can knock
us down, or board us if we try to escape.
448
00:36:30,524 --> 00:36:32,067
They're getting closer.
449
00:36:32,234 --> 00:36:37,447
John, I know this is not what you wanted.
But if we remain here, we will be destroyed.
450
00:36:37,614 --> 00:36:40,367
Our only choices are to fight
or to surrender.
451
00:36:40,534 --> 00:36:44,371
No, we can't surrender.
And I won't open fire on my old ship!
452
00:36:44,538 --> 00:36:46,748
Then what do you recommend?
453
00:36:55,340 --> 00:36:57,718
Lennier, activate jump engines.
454
00:36:58,177 --> 00:37:00,762
- lnside the atmosphere?
- Yes.
455
00:37:00,929 --> 00:37:01,972
What?
456
00:37:02,181 --> 00:37:05,017
With all due respect for your
innovative choice of strategy...
457
00:37:05,184 --> 00:37:07,477
...may I suggest
that the energy involved...
458
00:37:07,644 --> 00:37:10,814
...in opening a jump point
in a hydrogen- rich atmosphere...
459
00:37:10,981 --> 00:37:14,568
- ...would be explosive at best.
- No, she's right.
460
00:37:14,735 --> 00:37:17,905
We'll get as close as we can
to the edge of the atmosphere.
461
00:37:18,071 --> 00:37:21,033
That should minimize the eruption. I hope.
462
00:37:21,783 --> 00:37:24,828
Send them a message
that we are prepared to surrender...
463
00:37:25,037 --> 00:37:29,833
...but we need them to back off a little.
Then bring her up slowly.
464
00:37:32,002 --> 00:37:33,754
Let me see it.
465
00:37:39,468 --> 00:37:40,469
Wait.
466
00:37:40,886 --> 00:37:45,682
Unidentified ship, this is your final warning.
Surrender, or be destroyed.
467
00:37:45,849 --> 00:37:47,100
Now!
468
00:38:00,948 --> 00:38:02,574
Son of a gun.
469
00:38:05,661 --> 00:38:07,454
Ladies and gentle--
470
00:38:07,746 --> 00:38:10,082
Minbari, congratulations.
471
00:38:10,874 --> 00:38:15,504
We have just made the first atmospheric
jump that I have ever heard of.
472
00:38:16,463 --> 00:38:20,717
Mr. Lennier, put us on a course
for home. Best speed.
473
00:38:21,051 --> 00:38:24,638
I want to be long gone from here
by the time they jump after us.
474
00:38:24,972 --> 00:38:27,182
We'll be back this way again.
475
00:38:28,058 --> 00:38:29,893
And one way or another...
476
00:38:30,060 --> 00:38:31,812
...we will finish this.
477
00:38:46,285 --> 00:38:48,745
And ISN has confirmed earlier reports...
478
00:38:48,912 --> 00:38:53,083
...that an unidentified alien ship
attacked a research lab on Ganymede.
479
00:38:53,292 --> 00:38:56,003
According to Earthforce,
the ship was pursued to Jupiter...
480
00:38:56,170 --> 00:38:58,755
"...and destroyed by the" EAS Agamemnon.
481
00:38:58,922 --> 00:39:03,594
Nonetheless, this incident has heightened
concerns about planetary security.
482
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:08,515
President Clark is considering a new plan
that will provide greater security.
483
00:39:08,682 --> 00:39:10,142
Off.
484
00:39:10,767 --> 00:39:13,353
- Unbelievable.
- You look pretty good for a dead man.
485
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,691
We helped Earth, but the way it's reported,
you'd think we were the menace.
486
00:39:17,858 --> 00:39:21,028
You know what they say,
"No good deed goes unpunished."
487
00:39:21,195 --> 00:39:23,947
The important thing is,
we got away with it.
488
00:39:29,411 --> 00:39:31,788
So far.
489
00:39:40,839 --> 00:39:42,883
I thought there was a meeting.
490
00:39:43,050 --> 00:39:47,679
It doesn't start for another half an hour.
I wanted a chance to talk to you alone.
491
00:39:47,846 --> 00:39:50,390
- About what?
- Like I said the other day...
492
00:39:50,557 --> 00:39:54,770
...we've been getting reports
that Earthforce may have been infiltrated...
493
00:39:54,937 --> 00:39:57,523
...by traitors right up
to the command level.
494
00:39:57,689 --> 00:40:01,735
Any unusual behavior
is to be reported and investigated.
495
00:40:02,361 --> 00:40:03,987
Yeah, so?
496
00:40:04,613 --> 00:40:08,659
So the captain was gone for four days.
497
00:40:09,076 --> 00:40:13,789
Our records don't show any absence, but
I checked the access panel in his quarters.
498
00:40:13,956 --> 00:40:16,625
It hasn't been used since Monday.
499
00:40:17,334 --> 00:40:21,547
Now, I'd say that that qualifies
as unusual behavior.
500
00:40:21,713 --> 00:40:23,340
The ministry agrees.
501
00:40:23,507 --> 00:40:25,509
You shouldn't have gone to them
without telling me.
502
00:40:25,717 --> 00:40:28,679
I don't need your permission.
This is my job.
503
00:40:28,846 --> 00:40:32,850
He's apparently enlisted guys in security
to cover whatever he's doing.
504
00:40:33,016 --> 00:40:36,019
That means he's got the chief
in his pocket.
505
00:40:37,396 --> 00:40:39,439
You're close to the chief.
506
00:40:39,606 --> 00:40:42,943
No. No way in hell. I won't do it.
507
00:40:43,110 --> 00:40:46,905
All I'm asking you to do is to go to him,
be real earnest...
508
00:40:47,072 --> 00:40:50,242
...tell him you know something's going on
and wanna help.
509
00:40:50,409 --> 00:40:55,455
Well, ever since I joined up with you guys,
he doesn't trust me like he used to.
510
00:40:55,622 --> 00:40:58,959
If he could trust me,
he'd have brought me in on it weeks ago.
511
00:40:59,126 --> 00:41:01,712
So you admit something's going on.
512
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:03,964
I didn't say that!
513
00:41:04,798 --> 00:41:10,762
Look, things are a little tough between us
right now, but he's still a friend.
514
00:41:10,929 --> 00:41:13,891
You better start deciding
which is more important:
515
00:41:14,057 --> 00:41:17,936
Friendship or your job,
which is to protect Earth.
516
00:41:19,438 --> 00:41:22,024
When you figure that out,
you let me know.
517
00:41:40,709 --> 00:41:42,377
Come.
518
00:41:43,587 --> 00:41:45,589
I thought you might want to see this.
519
00:41:45,756 --> 00:41:48,383
As I recall, you were somewhat
concerned about where I fit...
520
00:41:48,550 --> 00:41:51,595
...in the great organizational
scheme of things.
521
00:41:51,762 --> 00:41:54,848
So I went to the effort
of preparing this chart.
522
00:41:55,516 --> 00:41:57,434
Now then, here's you...
523
00:41:57,601 --> 00:42:00,604
...right here at the heart of everything.
And why not?
524
00:42:00,812 --> 00:42:04,316
And here's me.
This is the captain. Here's Franklin.
525
00:42:04,483 --> 00:42:06,944
Here's my mum and dad.
They've nothing to do with it...
526
00:42:07,110 --> 00:42:10,113
...but it's a good picture of them,
don't you think?
527
00:42:10,322 --> 00:42:14,576
I think I've come up with a way to explain
the organizational structure of Babylon 5...
528
00:42:14,743 --> 00:42:18,288
...using the Ottoman Empire as a model.
529
00:42:18,497 --> 00:42:21,333
It gets a little confusing
around this bit here...
530
00:42:21,500 --> 00:42:23,502
...but one has to start somewhere.
531
00:42:23,669 --> 00:42:25,128
Why are you doing this?
532
00:42:25,337 --> 00:42:27,297
Did it make you laugh?
533
00:42:27,923 --> 00:42:28,966
Yes.
534
00:42:29,508 --> 00:42:32,886
Then my job here is done. Have a good--
535
00:42:33,053 --> 00:42:36,390
- Yes?
- "Susan, quick, turn on ISN."
536
00:42:36,557 --> 00:42:38,725
Monitor on. Find ISN.
537
00:42:39,601 --> 00:42:43,480
And to confirm earlier reports,
President Clark has signed a decree today...
538
00:42:43,647 --> 00:42:46,108
...declaring martial law
throughout Earth Central...
539
00:42:46,275 --> 00:42:48,694
...citing threats to planetary security.
540
00:42:48,861 --> 00:42:51,738
He's expected to provide information
to support this action...
541
00:42:51,905 --> 00:42:55,367
...at a closed meeting
of the full Earth Senate tomorrow.
542
00:42:55,534 --> 00:42:58,871
We repeat,
Earth is now under martial law.
543
00:43:37,326 --> 00:43:38,327
