'Liner White Star,
arriving from Earth'

'is now docking in Bay 5.'

'Passengers will disembark'

'through Customs Area 7.'

Well, it was a pleasure
traveling with you, Mr. Smith.

It's not everyday you meet a man

with such an interesting
calling.

Same here, Rabbi.

- Take care.
- Shalom.

My and my. Slappers.
With a Medlab seal, yet.

And I bet you two beauties are a
couple of brain surgeons, huh?

Damn!
Red 6, this is Garibaldi.

I got a smiling pair
of 10-15s for you

'dealing in stolen slappers.'

One of these days, Garibaldi

you're going to learn
to watch your back.

Walker Smith.

'Where the hell did you go
after Orion 4?'

You name it. Io, Mars,
the Grain station.

Any place somebody
would pay to watch me

bust some rub-a-dub's head.

It wasn't pretty
but it bought me passage

back to Earth
and a boxing license.

I know. I saw all your fights.

Man, you were something!

Everybody said
you were on your way

to the World Title until..

You believe
what they said about me?

No. But I'd still like
to hear it from you.

It's a long story
and a wet one.

I need to get a berth
and make some connections.

I'd say we'd hook up

in around 30 rounds?

I know a place off the Zocalo.

The Dugout, just your style.

Red 5, I'll see you there.

I heard some stuff
about you too, Garibaldi.

- You believe it?
- Hell, yeah.

It was the dawn
of the Third Age of mankind..

...ten years after
the Earth-Minbari War.

The Babylon Project

was a dream given form.

Its goal,
to prevent another war

by creating a place
where humans and aliens

could work out
their differences peacefully.

It's a port of call,
home away from home

for diplomats, hustlers
entrepreneurs and wanderers.

Humans and aliens
wrapped in 2,500,000 tons

of spinning metal...
all alone in the night.

It can be a dangerous place.

But it's our last
best hope for peace.

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

The year is 2258.

The name of the place

is Babylon 5.

- Walker.
- What's this?

Specialty of the house.
Zoon burgers

Jovian tubers and a miner's
draft of Traxian ale.

You drench in ketchup
and you'll swear

you're back on that place
on Cestus.

Where the waitresses
all had three--

That it. That's the zone.

You always were a classy guy.

It's good.

Am I going to space-happy

or are you drinking water?

Nothing but. Gave up
the rocket fuel a while ago.

Oh, right. You always
were a lousy drunk.

Me? As I recall
our first meeting

you were about nine sheets
to the wind and taking apart

a holeopeep in Fortune City.

Until you bent a shock-stick
over my brainpan.

Which you never would've done.

had I seen you coming.

It was the start
of a beautiful friendship.

Stop program.

Open.

Suzotchka.

It's so good to see you again.

Rabbi Koslov.

So formal?

You used to call me
Uncle Yossel.

I can't believe you're here.

Neither can I.

This is my first time
among the stars, you know.

Such vastness seen so close
makes one feel very small.

You must be tired.
Please, sit down.

- Can I get you anything?
- No. The seat, I'll take.

- You're here about papa.
- Yes.

Andrei's death was
a great sorrow for all of us.

'Before he died,
he entrusted me'

'with a legacy. Your legacy.'

I was going to give it to you
after his funeral

but you weren't there.

The station was in a crisis
at that time.

I couldn't get away.

Of course,
you're a military officer

in an important position.

Duty must come first.

I understand

and so would Andrei.

'It's the way he raised you.'

So...you sat Shiva here?

- I haven't sat Shiva.
- It can still be done.

I'll sit with you.
I'll arrange everything.

I'm afraid I can't.

My duties here
are very extensive.

I just don't have the time.

Besides,
it's been several months.

There's no point.

I see.

Well, I think
I'll get some rest.

I'm staying over
in the sanctuary area

in, uh-uh, what do you call it?

Blue 3...I'll take you there.

No, no, no, no. I'll find my own
way back. You have duties.

But, uh, you will have dinner
with me tonight.

Of course.
I'll come by at 20:00.

- Huh?
- 8 o'clock.

Blue 3. 20:00.

Such meshugaas.

You've done well, Suzotchka.

Andrei was very proud of you

and so am I.

Thank you, Uncle Yossel.

'So, after I beat Atagi'

I was the number one
contender for the Title.

That's when it came down.

SportCorp had invested
abundantly in Vizaro.

They were not about
to let him be beat.

So, they told me
it wasn't my time yet.

They said they would make it
worth my while

to retire for a few years.

So you told them to stuff it?

And I wasn't that polite
about it.

I worked long and hard
for that type of shot.

And I didn't think there was
anything they could do.

That's when they framed you?

Like a picture.

Doctored my blood test

to make it look like
I was popping adrenals.

Spread the word that
I was a stooge for the Syndi.

The Nets ate it up
and me along with it.

I haven't been able to get
a legitimate fight

in two years.

I earned that shot, Mike.

I sweated for it, I bled for it

I dreamed of it.

They took it away from me
like it was nothing.

Like I was nothing.

So why did you come
to Babylon 5?

To make history.

To be the first human
to fight in the Mutai.

Mutai? Are you
out of your skull?

You know that Mutai means
"Trial of Blood."

Snappy. They called my fight
with Atagi "World War IV."

No, no, no. You don't get it.

The Mutai isn't a prizefight,
it's a meat grinder.

No rounds, no rules, no gloves.

Just take your opponent out.

Five aliens have been killed
in there.

And ten times that number
have been crippled.

I was dead when they took
my title shot away.

So, I figure, I come up here
bust a few snakehead

make a big splash in the Nets

the Corp will be begging me
to fight the champ.

It's the real deal, Mike.

I am Rabbi Yossel Koslov.

What can I do for you, rabbi?

I'm an old friend
of the Ivanov family.

And I wish to speak
to you about Susan.

Please, have a seat.

You are aware of the recent
death of Susan's father?

No. When did this happen?

A few months ago.

He was very ill.
It was not unexpected.

I understand
she was speaking to him

from here the moment he died.

She never said
anything about it.

I'm not surprised.

Susan has always been very
private about such matters.

And there was bad blood
between them.

You know about her mother?

I know she was a telepath
and that she took her own life.

A great tragedy.

And one for which I believe

Susan always blamed her father.

A year later, when her brother

Ganya, was killed
in the Minbari Wars

and Susan chose to join

Earth force against
Andrei's wishes..

...the rift between them
became greater still.

I see.

Susan has traveled
a hard road, commander.

Now that her family is gone
that road is harder still.

I'm worried about her.

How can I help?

It is Jewish tradition
to mourn the dead

by sitting Shiva
so that family, friends

members of the Jewish community

can gather at the home
of the bereaved

to offer comfort
and also help fulfill

the obligation of prayer
for the departed.

Yes, I'm familiar with it.

Well..
Susan has not done this.

And I believe it would help her
accept her father's death..

...and his life.

Now, if you could possibly
grant her a few days' leave.

Certainly, she can take
as much time as she needs.

Thank you, commander.

I will tell Susan
at dinner tonight.

By the way..

'...this Babylon 5 of yours!'

Phew!

Ness gadol.

A great miracle.

Thank you.

What did you say this was again?

It's Treel.
It's a...sort of fish.

The Centauri raise them.

Treel?
It's kosher?

That, I can't say.

Oh! I don't recall
Treel being mentioned

in the Torah, so..

Mmm. It's wonderful.

So how are things back home?

They change,
they stay the same.

Russia is Russia.

Your father used to say,
"If regret could be harvested

Russia would be the world's
fruit basket."

I remember.

You know..

...he would have
liked this place.

I invited him,
but he always refused.

He said humanity
had no business in space

until we could learn to live
in peace on Earth.

And you know how he felt
about Earth force.

I know. But he didn't mean
to hurt you by it, Suzotchka.

It was just that he was so
terribly afraid of losing you

as he lost Sofie and Ganya.

He lost me long before that.

Is that why you won't sit Shiva?

No. I told you
my duties won't allow it.

We've got three trade convoys
due by Saturday and--

Commander Sinclair
seems to think he can handle it.

And he said you could have
as much time as you need.

You spoke to the commander
about this?

Yes. A fine man.

You should not have done that.

I'm a rabbi.

When I see a Jew denying

one of our most basic traditions

I meddle.

My father always
tried to control my life

when he was alive I don't need
anyone to take his place

now that he's gone.

Please, excuse me.

Suzotchka,please, I didn't..

You know, you are demented.
You can still call this off.

Relax, all I have to do is find

this Muta-Do character
who runs the show and I'm in.

This place is only for Mutari.

- Go.
- Relax, E.T.

I'm looking for the Muta-Do.

I'm Walker Smith from Earth.

I'm here to fight in the Mutai.

Humans..

...do not fight in the Mutai.

Go back to Earth..

...Walker Smith.

Who the hell are you?

I am the Muta-Do.

The Sayer.

And I say..

...go back to Earth.

The Mutai..

...is not for you.

You heard him, Earthling.

You've worn out
your welcome, ace.

Come on.

Damn snakehead
caught me by surprise.

That snakehead
is over 90 years old

and fought in over 1000 Mutai.

You knew who he was
all the time?

Hey, look. Look, you wanna
get your head handed to you

and I think it's a lousy idea.
So, sue me.

But I had nothing to do with
what went down with Muta-Do.

You did that
all by yourself.

'These aliens may be
just snakeheads to you'

But the Mutai means
something to them.

You treat it like a tank fight.
Oh, come on, man.

- Don't be like that.
- Stroke off.

- Earther.
- Who in the hell are you?

I am Caliban.

You wish to fight in the Mutai?

What if I do?
I've already been turned down.

There is another way.

But it must be done properly.

With respect.

And it will require
great courage.

Keep talking.

You wish to see me, commander?

Yes.

I wanted to offer my condolences
on the death of your father.

Thank you.

Why didn't you request leave
to attend the funeral?

You were negotiating the
Euphrates Treaty at the time.

I was needed here.

That's commendable,
but since B-5 is quiet now

I'm granting you
indefinite leave

to sit Shiva for your father.

That won't be necessary.

May I return to my post?

No, you may not.

Have a chair.

I prefer to stand.

That's an order.

You're the best officer
I've ever served with, Ivanova.

I couldn't run this station
without you.

'But I also consider
you a friend.'

As your friend I'm telling you

it does no good
to bottle up your feelings.

Your father's dead.

'You need to express your grief
or it'll eat you up.'

I appreciate your concern,
commander.

And your friendship.

But...my feelings are my own.

And how I display them..

...or not...is my choice.

Now..

...if I may return to my duty?

Susan.

Before you make that choice

make sure you know what it is
you're really feeling.

Mike?

Yeah?

About last night

I thought it over,
you were right.

It was my screw-up.

I always did have
too much mouth.

I'm sorry.

'Can I sit?'

So, what are you gonna do now?

I really don't know.

Maybe I'll catch some bouts
in the Off-World Circuit.

Or maybe I'll hang up
the gloves for good.

- You're kidding.
- It's been a long haul, Mike.

A lot of blood, a lot of pain.
I don't know if it was worth it.

The Sho-rin fights tonight.

That's what they call
the champ of Mutai.

I have a couple of ducks.
What do you say?

At least I get a chance
to see what I missed.

These ducks cost me a bundle.

Garibaldi.

'Chief, we got a 2-45 on Red 3.'

'It looks like
the perp's zoned.'

On the way.

See you tonight.

Alright, but if this is
some kind of hose job..

The guy was a bum.
I could have taken him.

This is good. What is it?

Yokdri. Fried tree worm.

Into the Sands of Blood

comes Luh-Kar of the Drazi

the bravest of his race.

And now comes

the Sho-rin.

Master of the Mutai.

Bravest of the brave.

Gyor!

Gyor! Gyor!

Fight with respect

and courage.

The Mutai begins!

The Sho-rin triumphs
and remains.

Who is brave enough

to challenge

such a one?

I am!

Are you nuts?

Didn't you see what just
happened in there?

It's my only shot, Mike.

'By their rules'

if the Sho-rin accepts
a direct challenge

I get to fight.

No matter what anyone else says.

Your people do not walk
in the Sands of Blood.

They fear the Sho-rin.

But I am the bravest of my race.

And when I face him in the Mutai

'their fear will be gone.'

Look, he doesn't know what
he's saying. This is a mistake.

Do not interfere.

'The challenge is worthy.'

What says the Sho-rin?

The challenge is accepted.

'In three cycles'

'the Mutai will take place.'

Gyor! Gyor!

Sorry, Mike.

You're gonna be a lot sorrier
when you step in there.

Why do you do this, human?
You are not Mutari.

- What's your problem, pal?
- You. All of you.

You intrude upon our worlds.
Make mockery of our customs.

Meddle in matters
you do not understand.

But humans have no place
in the Mutai. It is ours.

And we will not
let you dishonor it.

Not now...not ever.

Open.

Rabbi.

Susan.

I owe you an apology.

My behavior the other night
was inexcusable.

- You came all this way for me--
- No, no, no, no.

It is I who must apologize.

I handled things badly.

I brought your legacy.

The samovar.

It was passed
through your family

since the days of the tzars.

Andrei prized it beyond all his
other possessions.

I know.

Well, I will be leaving
in the morning.

There is nothing more
here for me to do.

Unless you changed your mind
about the Shiva?

It's not because
I've ceased being a Jew.

Then why?

My father was not
...a loving man.

But in his own way
I always felt he loved me.

Until my mother began
her Psi Corps treatment.

It was the law.
There was nothing he could do.

You cannot blame him for it.

I don't.

I blame him
for denying me his love.

Even as mama became incapable
of giving me hers.

I needed him, Yossel.

And he wasn't there.

My father wasn't there for me.

And when mother took her life
and Ganya died

still he couldn't find a shred
of love for me.

So I left.

And he never forgave me for it.

As if I were the one
who'd abandoned him.

And now
that he has left for good

you cannot forgive him?

No, I can't.

Then the tragedy
is greater than I thought.

Without forgiveness,
you cannot mourn.

And without mourning

you can never let go
of the pain.

I have to go on duty.

You cannot run away
from your own heart, Susan.

Not even in space.

Thank you for
bringing the samovar.

I'll see you before you leave.

'We are sorry to announce..'

Got any ideas
on how I should fight this guy?

From inside a mean battle tank
would be good.

I knew I could count on you.

You did well last night,
Earther.

- Garibaldi.
- Caliban.

He's the one who told me
about challenging the Sho-rin.

- And what's your angle, pal?
- Angle?

He wants to know
why you're helping me.

Mmm.

I too once challenged
the Sho-rin Gyor.

It was my last Mutai.

Now I will stand Ka-Tow

to your friend.

Garibaldi will also
stand Ka-Tow to me.

As you wish.

You must honor the Muta-Do

before you begin.

Listen very carefully.

'Uncle Yossel?'

Ah! Susan.
I was afraid I'd miss you.

'Earth registered liner
White Star'

'is now in final boarding
for departure to Earth.'

My starship.

- Thanks again for coming.
- My pleasure.

Where else could I dine on Treel
with my favorite Ivanova?

So...you'll take care
of yourself?

Yes.

You're very dear to me,
Suzotchka

as you were to Andrei.

Even if he never said it.

Shalom, Suzotchka.

May God keep you
in his thoughts.

You too.

'I want you to know..'

'...how proud'

'I am of you, Susan.'

I always have been.

B-but a father should give
his daughter love..

...as well as respect.

And in that, I failed you.

I'm sorry.

And I'm ashamed.

Forgive me.

'Forgive me.'

Uncle Yossel?

Stay.

Help me sit Shiva.

Oh, my God!

- Nice punch.
- Glass jaw.

But he kicks like a mule.

- What is a mule?
- You're training one.

You did well out there.

Rest now.

Buy you some dinner?

Sounds good. Give me a minute.

Has he got a chance?

He will fight bravely.

In sports, Babylon 5

is about to be the site
of a history-making event

as ex-sports Corp boxing star

Walker Smith prepares
to be the first human

'to fight in the Mutai.'

What did I tell you, Mike?
History.

Yeah, let's hope
you don't wind up history.

You're my backup, remember?
My Ka-Tow.

- Have some faith.
- What do you want me to do?

Hire some cheerleaders?

Walker, you're a great fighter

but Gyor isn't some
Sport Corp media star.

He's going in there
to take you apart.

- And he can do it.
- I know.

That's son of a spaceman's
the best I've ever seen.

And you're still going
through with this?

'You have always been thick,
Garibaldi.'

That's what
the game's all about.

To be the best,
you have to face the best.

'I could take Vizaro
on crutches'

but Gyor...he's gonna show me
where my heart is.

And maybe..

...I'll show him
a little something too.

I'm gonna turn in.
See you tomorrow, buddy.

Walker.

You're the best I've ever seen.

Commander?
May I have a word?

Of course.

I'd like to take
your offer of leave.

Granted.

Thank you.

'Lieutenant commander?'

Yes, sir?

It believe it's customary

for friends to pay
their respects

during Shiva.

'I'll see you there.'

I'd like that.

Amen.

As you know,
we're all gathered here

to help Susan sit Shiva

for Andrei Ivanov..

'...beloved husband of Sofie'

'of blessed memory'

'father of Ganya'

'of blessed memory'

and...of Susan.

Most of you did not know

Andrei Ivanova, so let me say

a few words about him.

He was..

...a Russian Jew.

And a scholar.

A man devoted to logic

and to reason.

'And above all..'

'...to peace.'

Hmm, yeah, alright.

He's got reach on you.
So, get inside.

Watch his knees when you do.

And keep moving.
Don't let him trap you.

It is time.

Let's do it.

'When I was 13,
I had developed a passion for..'

'...uh, Kasharev'

'one of the radical,
neo-communist authors.'

'Oi.'

'Your father felt that Kasharev'

'would be personally
responsible'

for the destruction
of Russian culture.

Exactly.

But he was invited to a reading

by Kasharev, and I begged him
to take me.

Of course, he had
no intention of going

but I whined and pouted
as only a 13-year-old can.

And eventually, he was forced
to surrender.

So, after the reading, there was
a question-and-answer session.

And for days,
I had been formulating

the perfect question

with which to impress my idol.

So, you know, the time comes

and I stand up, I'm trembling

and I ask my question.

And?

Uh, he promptly said that
it was the most foolish thing

that he ever heard and he had
no...intention of bending

words of a bourgeois little twit
who was barely out of diapers.

I was crushed.

But then papa stood up.

And he said that his daughter

was neither bourgeois

nor a little twit...

and had been out of diapers

for many, many years.

while Kasharev's writing

had yet to rise
above the contents

of those garments.

That sounds
exactly like Andrei.

He then added that
were he not a man of peace..

...he would have
horsewhipped Kasharev

through the streets
of St. Petersburg

as his own father should
have done many years ago.

Bravo, bravo.

Well, of course,
I was mortified.

But then..

...papa took my hand,
and he turned

and as we walked out
he said to me..

"...It was a good question,
dushenka."

Into the Sands of Blood

comes

Walker Smith of Earth

the bravest of his race.

And now comes

the Sho-rin.

Master of the Mutai.

Bravest of the brave.

Gyor.

Gyor! Gyor! Gyor!

Fight with courage
and respect.

The Mutai begins.

Gyor! Gyor! Gyor!

Inside! Work inside!

Yeah!

Gyor! Gyor! Gyor!

'Come on, back up!
Stay clear! Stay clear!'

Get out of the way!
Get out of the way!

'Work inside! Work inside!'

'Oh, yeah! Yeah! Yeah!'

Oh, yeah. Yeah, baby! Go!

Whoo!

The mule! The mule!

Watch the kick!
Watch the kick!

Back up! Stay clear!

- Stay clear!
- No!

This is Garibaldi. I have
a pickup for you in the Mutai.

- Come on!
- Yah!

'Yeah! Yeah! Whoo-hoo!'

I want to thank all of you

for sharing this time of..

...sorrow with me.

You've helped me
to find somebody..

...long lost

and...very precious to me.

The father I loved.

Though it's traditional
to recite

the Mourning Prayer in Hebrew..

...I would like to read it
in English tonight..

...so that my good friend,
Jeffrey Sinclair..

...may share it with us.

"Oh, God, full of compassion..

"...who dwell'est on high

"...grant perfect rest
beneath the sheltering winds

"of thy divine presence..

"...among the holy pure
who shine...as the brightness..

...of the firmament...
to Andrei, my father..

...who has gone
to his eternal home.

- Amen.
- Amen.

'What are they saying?'

They call him "The Great Heart."

It is done!

Take it easy. It's over.

- How'd I do?
- Uh, it's a draw.

Gyor! Gyor! Gyor!

Smith!

Smith! Smith! Smith!

'Thank you, Uncle Yossel.'

You'll write or, uh
or com-link or whatever.

I will.

Commander?

Ness gadol.
Take good care of it.

Ooh!

I'm ready to go
back on duty, sir.

Good. I've had my fill
of double shifts.

Well, perhaps you'll
remember that next time

Ms. Sakai visits the station.

You're sure you can't
stick around for a while?

And now that you're not
in training, I know some spots

in Brown 6 we could haunt.

I heal better in real air.

Walker Smith!

You fought well in the Mutai.

From now on
humans may enter the ring

as brothers
to all Mutari.

If you ever return to the Mutai
I will stand Ka-Tow for you.

- I wouldn't want anyone else.
- I'm honored, Smith.

Safe voyage.

Garibaldi, thanks.

See you when I come back
for the rematch.

Oh, give me a break.

Watch your back.

He fought bravely.

The best I've ever seen.
