All language subtitles for Babylon.5.S01E19.Part2.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.264-NTb_track3_eng

Previously on "Babylon 5.."

Any change
in those seismic disturbances?

The surface layer's calmed down,
but we're still

picking up rumbles
from further down.

Best to check it out,
just to be sure.

'Activate scanners.'

- 'Set for maximum depth.'
- What the hell was it?

All of our readouts
blacked out for a second.

'It must have come
from somewhere'

'deep inside the planet.'

As ISN viewers may know,
all contact

with the Mars Colony
has been cut off.

What the hell do you mean
you can't get

a signal through
to the Mars Colony?

Communications are out, except

for authorized personnel.

This is Draal.

For many years,
my mentor and teacher.

Let's hope Tasaki was right
about that fissure

being five miles deep
'cause on our present speed

'it's gonna take at least
two miles to decelerate.'

'We've got something.
Definitely artificial.'

Commander, you okay?

Michael, you wouldn't believe.

A whole new area of technology.

Machines as big as buildings.

What the hell?

Help me

or your people

all your people will die.

So either
she's not on Mars anymore--

- She's there, alright?
- Then it's possible..

That something's happened
to her.

Tell the fighters
to initiate air cover

'and have a full medical team
standing by'

'when we arrive.'

I want that med team at Bay 14

in ten minutes.
I'll meet them there.

We've got a ship
coming through the jumpgate.

- Fine, fine.
- Mr. Garibaldi, it's big!

What the hell?

It's an
Earth Alliance Heavy Cruiser.

Babylon Control to Earth Cruiser

nothing personal,
but what's going on?

We didn't ask for any help.

Affirmative, Babylon Control.

But whether you like it or not,
you're getting it.

This is Captain Ellis Pierce

of the Earth Alliance
Starship Hyperion.

We are assuming control
over the situation.

Please stand by,
Babylon Control.

We're coming in.

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.

- 'How is he?'
- 'I've managed..'

'To stabilize his condition,
but we won't know for a while.'

I'm still trying to work out
his biology.

- Sinclair.
- 'Commander.'

'Captain Pierce
is coming aboard.'

'He'll meet you
in the briefing room.'

On my way.

I want quarterly progress
reports on his condition.

Will do.

'For your shopping convenience,
the Zocalo is accessible'

'through all marked
transport tubes.'

'Our casino features gaming
from seven systems.'

'All currencies are accepted.'

Fade.

Cushy.

All the comforts of home.

It'll be a nice change of pace
for my people.

Good food, some R and R
while they're stationed here.

I've just gone over
the message you sent

upon your arrival,
Captain Pierce.

Would you like
to explain yourself?

We were in hyperspace
en route to the Vegan outpost

when we received
a countermand order

from Earthforce Command.

We were ordered to report here
and assume control.

- On whose authority?
- Office of Planetary Security.

They relayed your reports on

what you discovered
on Epsilon 3.

A whole new and potentially
revolutionary technology.

Based on what you described

the civilian and military
potential is staggering.

We can take care of it
ourselves.

For now maybe.

But since
this is neutral territory

every race on this station
is going to stake a claim

to what you found down there.

Now, my orders are to make sure
Earth gets first dibs

to prevent anyone else
from sending down a team

and to protect this station

when the other races
get tired of being told

they can't take what's ours.

I don't know if you appreciate

how messy
this situation can get.

I appreciate the fact
that we had this situation

'under control and quiet'

until you blew in here
with a heavy cruiser.

Now everybody's gonna wonder
what's going on.

A show of force is required.

If they know we're here

they'll be less inclined
to start something.

What's the status
of your prisoner?

The patient is in Medlab.
His condition, uncertain.

Why don't you go down there and
hold a gun to his head, captain?

Maybe a show of force will help
in that situation, too.

This isn't a backwater outpost
or bronze-tech world

where you can come in,
bare your teeth

'and expect everyone
to fall in line.'

This is a diplomatic station

and your kind
of heavy-handedness

is just going to make
our job harder.

This kind of help we don't need.

'Enjoy the accommodations,
captain.'

I'll do everything I can
to make sure

your stay here is a brief one.

That's all.

..would appear
that Earth Alliance President

Luis Santiago is bowing
to pressure by the Earth Senate

to use more force
to subdue the Mars rebellion.

We've received
unconfirmed reports

that elite shock troops
are already en route

to staging areas
outside the capital city.

Yeah! Go get 'em, boys!
Show them crummy Marsies.

Hey, look. They're humans, too.

Hey, they don't think so.
Why should I?

They're just a bunch of
damned ingrates and crybabies.

'We get taxed so they can get'

'all the best
atmosphere reprocessors'

water reclamation.

They ought to be damn grateful

instead of pullingthis garbage.

Okay, fine, fine. Whatever.

'Ask me,
the solution's real simple.'

Pump in morph gas, go in there
and break some heads.

Every mother lovin' one of 'em.

Teach 'em who's in charge here.

'Like my granddad used to say'

"Nuke 'em till they glow
and then shoot 'em in the dark."

Oh, ah, that'd take care of 'em

phew, just like magic.

Magic? You wanna see magic?

I got a little magic trick
for ya.

I'll make your head magically
pass through the top of the bar!

- Hey, let go!
- I'll need complete silence.

'Or I'll have to ask for another
volunteer from the audience.'

'Let's see.
What was that magic word again?'

"Shazam?" That's not it.
I'll tell you what.

I'll go home and look in
my books, then I'll come back.

If you're still talking trash
about killing Marsies

we'll try it again and again
until we get it right. Huh?

'I'm sorry, commander,
this decision comes'

from higher
in the chain of command.

There is nothing I can do.

Ever since the war,
Earthforce Command

has been obsessed with getting
their hands on new technology.

'Now that
they have the chance--'

Senator, when I assumed command
of Babylon 5

I was personally assured
by President Santiago

that I had final authority
over this sector.

I refuse to surrender
that control

without express orders
from the president.

The president is rather busy
at the moment.

'The revolt on the Mars Colony'

is taking up
a great deal of his time.

That's not my problem.

At the moment,
this is my problem.

As far as I'm concerned,
until I'm officially

told otherwise,
this is still my jurisdiction.

I don't wanna resign over this,
but I will if I have to.

Alright, commander.

I'll do what I can
to secure that confirmation.

If that fails,
maybe I can get Captain Pierce

'to accept
shared jurisdictions.'

It's the best I can do for now.

Commander, I will be in touch.

- Yes?
- 'Something's happening.'

'Down on Epsilon 3, commander.'

'You better come take a look.'

On my way.

A flight of ships
departed the Hyperion

a little while ago,
headed down to Epsilon 3.

- Did they get through?
- Negative.

Bring up tactical display.

They're encountering heavy fire
from the surface batteries.

'Four of the Hyperion ships'

'have been disabled
in the last five minutes.'

The counterattack
looks even heavier

than when we went down there.

I noticed the same thing.

Definite escalation.

They're pulling back.

Commander, Captain Pierce
on the link for you.

Put him through.

'Captain Pierce,
what's the idea'

of dispatching a team
down to the planet surface

without checking with me first?

Unnecessary.

We had your log,
your flight pattern--

But it didn't work, did it?

Because you can't get
near the planet surface

without a properly encoded
jamming device.

What? Why wasn't I informed?

- You didn't ask.
- 'Commander.'

I demand you turn over
this jamming device at once.

It's being repaired.
But I'll see what I can do.

Babylon Control out.

Commander,
we didn't use a jamming device.

We don't even have
a jamming device.

I know,
but he doesn't know that.

With luck, it'll discourage him

from sending
anymore ships down there

until we finish
working this out.

What's that?

That's the other thing
I wanted to tell you.

We're picking up
increased seismic activity

inside Epsilon 3.

It started about the same time

when the Hyperion ships
began their approach.

But they're not natural quakes.

It's a massive
artificial disruption

located near the planet's core.

- How serious?
- 'Serious.'

And growing in magnitude.

According to our projections,
if this keeps on

the planet will start
to break apart from the inside

until it explodes.

'Commander, if that planet goes,
it'll take us with it.'

The Hyperion can get out
of the way. We can't.

We'll be ripped apart.

'Data from our latest scan
confirms my suspicions.'

Epsilon 3 is honeycombed
with passages

and a network of
highly-advanced fusion reactors

some of which
are five to ten miles across.

The scale of it is outstanding.

There's power down there
on a level

that we've never even
dreamed of.

For the past five hours,
we've been monitoring

a gradual but definite change
in all of the fusion reactors.

They're all moving
towards critical mass.

- A doomsday machine.
- 'Exactly.'

I'd say we have, at the most,
48 hours before they blow

taking the planet and us
with them.

How long would it take
to evacuate the station?

We're talking a quarter million
humans and aliens.

Even if we called in every ship
in the sector

it'd take at least
three to five days.

Have you informed
Captain Pierce?

He insists
it's just one more reason

why his people
have to go down there.

Your opinion.

Not a chance.

This chain reaction started

the last time
they tried to land down there.

Now, my guess is
that the planet is booby trapped

to keep it from falling
into the wrong hands.

If they go down there again,
we may not have 48 hours.

So why didn't it start when
the two of you went down there?

At a guess, because there was
still someone running the show.

- The guy you brought back?
- 'Exactly.'

As long
as he remains unconscious

the system keeps running
on automatic

heading towards self-destruct

without anyone to stop it.

Alright. We'll give it
another 12 hours.

See if we can find a way
around this thing.

If not,
we'll evacuate the station.

Try to get as many as we can
away from here.

It'll be a panic. They'll
stampede the docking base.

I know, we'll hold back
making an announcement

as long as possible,
but you better go ahead

'and tell your own people.
This could get messy.'

Get something to eat and try to
catch an hour or two of sleep.

We've got a long road
ahead of us.

So if we go down there,
it blows.

If we don't, it blows anyway,
just a little later.

It's a good thing I'm Russian.

We're used
to hopeless situations.

Ah, lieutenant commander.

Just the person
I've been looking for.

Ambassador,
this is not a good time.

No, I imagine not.
You have been holding out on me.

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

- Situation is status quo.
- Ah, of course.

An Earth War Cruiser
parked alongside the station

mysterious trips
to the planet beneath us

rumors that you have found
someone down there

and brought him back here.

This to you is status quo, yes?

You must lead
a very interesting life.

You did find something
down there, didn't you?

Something valuable, perhaps?

I wish to remind you that
my government has contributed

substantial amounts of money
to this station.

We are entitled
to an equal share

of anything you find down there.

Ambassador, do you really
wanna know what's going on

down there right now?

Yes. Absolutely.

Boom. Boom, boom, boom.

Boom, boom. Boom!

- Have a nice day.
- Fa!

You can never get a straight
answer from anyone around here!

I knew you would say that.

'Draal, help me.'

'Draal!'

- Draal?
- 'Help me.'

Draal?

- Are you alright?
- Yes.

It's strange.
I heard someone call my name.

It came from this way.

Yeah, come in.

Michael.

Hey, Jeff. What are you doing
down in this part of town?

Just thought I'd see
how you were doing.

Fine, fine. Have a seat.

I just made some dinner.
You want some?

No, thanks. I grabbed something
in the mess hall.

Michael,
I heard about the incident

this afternoon in the Zocalo.

The uh, magic-trick thing?

- 'They file a complaint?'
- No, but they could've.

Oh, I know. I know.

I know, I know. It was stupid.

Ah, but you didn't hear 'em.

The people are dying on Mars
and it's like

'some kind of damn game
to these guys.'

And on top of that,
I'm worried sick about Lise.

- I mean, I just snapped.
- Michael, I need you sharp.

You can't go off like that.

Damn it, Jeff. What the hell
am I supposed to do?

I've never felt
this, this helpless before.

The one woman in my whole life
who meant anything to me

and she is back on Mars
somewhere.

Maybe she's alive,
maybe he's dead.

Either way, I can't do a thing.

'The planet we're parked next to
is about to go up'

like a Roman candle.
What am I supposed to do, huh?

Arrest it?

You know, I..

I never should've let her go.
I..

I never should have waited
this long before calling her.

Then why did you?

I was afraid.

Afraid she'd hang up on me
and just as afraid she wouldn't.

Afraid to find out
that she hated me..

...that it really was all over

and I could kiss my dreams
goodbye.

And just as afraid
to find out that..

...maybe she still loved me

like I think
I still loved her.

'Cause then we'd have to do
something about it

and I still don't know if I can.

Does any of this
make any kind of sense at all?

Yeah, it does.

There's some brass station
down on Mars

that owe me a favor or two.

I think it's about time
they paid up.

One way or another, I'll get you
that clear channel to Mars.

That'd be great. Thanks.

It's okay. I've been there.

One last thing.

A favor.

If we have to evacuate, you know

we'll never get everyone
off the station.

Ambassadors, women and children,
civilians go first.

Some of the command staff will
have to stay onboard until..

I'd appreciate it
if you could make sure

Ivanova gets
on the last ship out.

She'll want to stay, but..

She's got her whole career
ahead of her.

Understood, she'll be on it
if I have to drug her

and toss her in
before the doors close.

Look, this is a restricted area.
You're not allowed in here.

No. Well, he's the one.
I heard him call my name.

No, no. That's quite impossible,
alright? The patient's comatose.

Now, I'm afraid I'm gonna have
to insist that you leave now!

Draal! Draal..

- Draal!
- Don't try to move.

'Don't, don't, don't move.'

- Draal..
- Stay right there, okay?

- Stay still.
- No.

Draal..

'...you..'

...help...

...planet below.

Do not land.

'Do not approach.'

'Will explode.'

Destroy you all.

Without the heart..

...without another..

I got your message. What's up?

Dr. Franklin's reporting
the patient is awake

and confirming our information.

If any ships land on the planet,
it will self-destruct.

- Did you tell the Hyperion?
- Yes.

Unfortunately, they figured out
there's no jamming device.

How can you tell?

Because they're about
to launch an expedition

to the planet surface.

- Get Pierce on the line!
- Already done.

Captain, what the hell
do you think you are doing?

That planet's set to blow
if your team goes down there.

We've just received
confirmation--

From a source
with every reason to lie

to protect what's down there.

'Our people
have been monitoring'

the same activity you have.

They assure us
we can safely land on the planet

as long as nominal precautions
are taken.

Damn it, captain. I've got a
quarter million people in here.

I'm not gonna let you jeopardize
their lives.

Commander,
it's not your decision.

We're going.

What are you going to do,
shoot us down?

If that's what's required
to protect this station, yes.

- Excuse me?
- Lieutenant commander.

Put Delta and Zeta flights
on alert.

Stand by for immediate launch.

- Orders?
- Planetary blockade.

Commander,
if you order your ships

to fire on my fighters

you can kiss your career
goodbye.

And if you go down there,
we're dead anyway.

- You're bluffing.
- Lieutenant commander.

- Open fighter bay doors.
- Fighter bay doors, aye.

Stand by to launch.

It's up to you, captain.

As far as I'm concerned,
we've got nothing to lose.

- Status?
- They're canceling the launch.

Tell the fighters to stand down

but keep them ready
in case we need them after all.

We've got a ship
coming through the jumpgate.

Tell them to stand by.

We're being scanned,
they're accessing

'our language
and translation files!'

Everybody alright?

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

I think so.

We've got a signal
coming through.

This is Takarn.

We have your language files

taken to learn to speak.

'We have been'

'500 years'

searching for this place.

We received

its call-signal.

He must be talking about
the beacon that went off.

This world belongs to us.

We are last

of our people.

Searched 500 years.

We will take!

Give you ten of your hours
to move aside.

We do not wish to kill

but we will
if you will not let us take

what is ours.

Open channel to them.

'This is the Earth Alliance'

Cruiser Hyperion to intruder.

This sector
is under Earth jurisdiction.

Any attempt to seize this planet
by force or to launch an attack

'will be met with deadly force.'

You have nine hours
in which to withdraw.

Worst case of testosterone
poisoning I've ever seen.

Is it true this world and
its technology belongs to them?

No. Outcast.

Violent.

My people cast them out

centuries ago.

Signal was not meant for them.

Was put here to hide from them.

Given to me

when the rest of my people died.

'Sacred trust.'

'Legacy for the future.'

I am guardian

protector.

I live in the heart
of the machine.

We are one.

'Five-hundred of your years'

'have I waited in the machine.'

You've been here all this time
and you haven't contacted us?

Uh, no.

Only listened to your people.

Watched this great place
being built

learned your words.

Please, you must stop them.

'Do not let them
take the machine.'

It's not for them.
It's not for this time.

Varn,
the planet is falling apart.

Yes.

Without guardian, fail-safe..

'...destroy itself.'

If it blows,
it'll kill everyone here.

'Is there any way to stop it?'

What's your prognosis?

He's dying.

My guess is
he's been dying for a while.

'That would explain
the seismic disturbances.'

The more that he suffered

the more
the system began to malfunction.

But without him,
the planet is dying

taking us right along with it.

I'm told that you two were there
when Varn regained consciousness

and that he spoke to you.

Yes, but he did not tell us
anything more than he told you.

Would you mind telling me
what you were doing there

in the first place?

His spirit cried out to me
in the night.

He appeared before me.

Oh, so you also saw him.

Yes.

My guess is that the machine
is still tuned to his condition

and was sending
a kind of distress signal.

Well, all we can do
is hope he comes to pretty soon.

We've got
a little over eight hours

before all hell breaks loose
out there.

You know what Varn meant
by "Another."

Don't you?

Yes.

Varn could not ask it,
could not say the words..

...but it was in his eyes.

He is probably forbidden
to ask directly.

But the answer is there
if you have ears to hear it.

And what answer is that?

Ambassador Mollari.

I'm astonished, Delenn. Truly.

Of everyone on the station

I never thought
you would hold out on me.

I believe we should talk. Yes?

Commander,
we have a situation here.

'Where the hell have you been?'

Trying to solve it.

Any word from Earth Central?

Negative.
They're jamming us, too.

There's still time
to work this out.

Commander, maybe you weren't
paying attention.

They've given us an ultimatum.
Surrender or be destroyed.

Now, I have no intention
of sitting here quietly.

'Together, we have the
firepower. We can take them.'

If we coordinate our firepower
and link our fighter squadrons

we can launch
a preemptive strike

and outflank them.

But I can't do it
without your support.

Will you commit your forces
to the battle?

I don't see any other choice.
We'll be ready when you are.

Yes, he called to me as well.

Appeared to me, out of nowhere.

Strange.

I wonder why he appeared
just to you, Draal

and the commander.

Perhaps because
we are most familiar

with the third principle
of sentient life.

You can be of great service,
ambassador

if you are willing
to dare greatly.

You are talking to the Centauri
who led the raid on Fralis 12.

Granted it was a long time ago

but perhaps it is time
to return to old habits.

Ambassador..

I don't think
you fully understand

what Draal is asking of you.

Of course I do.

One of us will not return.

- Yes?
- That much is certain.

As a young and foolish Centauri

I swore
that I would die on my feet

doing something noble

and brave and futile.

Perhaps it was not
so wild a dream as I thought

or as foolish.

It is better
than waiting for the inevitable.

We will go together.

We've got another ship
asking to leave.

Clear them for launch ASAP.

The more we get out now,
the fewer

we have to evacuate later.

Garibaldi to C & C,
somebody just grabbed

the patient you brought back
from the planet.

'Looks like they created
a diversion on Blue 7.'

By the time my guards
got back, he was gone.

Stop all outgoing traffic.

It's too late, three transports
have already left

and one's about
to get to the gate and..

Wait a minute.
Where the hell did it go?

Signal coming in
from the enemy ship.

You have ignored our warnings!

'You send ships to our world!'

No more lies!

Now we take what is ours

and we stop your people!

He's right. The transport's
heading down to the planet.

They've opened fire. Secondary
gunner rays targeting my ship!

I'm launching fighters.
Babylon 5, we need your support.

- Launch fighters. Fire at will.
- Launch fighters!

My God!

Whoever's piloting that shuttle
is a madman!

Just like Fralis 12.

Close blast doors.

What's the position
of that transport?

They're about to enter
the planet's atmosphere.

This is the point where
the planet's defense system

opened fire last time.

Wait.
The defense system isn't firing.

- It's letting them in.
- Lieutenant commander.

- We got a shuttle coming out.
- I didn't authorize a launch.

We've got a war going on
out here.

Security to C & C.
I'm in pursuit of the transport.

Somebody has to bring
that guy back

and since you two
are stuck in Control--

Negative. It's too dangerous.

Hey, if they can make it,
so can I.

Look, I've got to do something,
Jeff. Beginning descent.

Think I can catch them
at maximum thrust

if you can buy me some cover.

Tell Deltas 2 through 6
to watch Mr. Garibaldi's back.

Who said the good old days
are gone, eh?

Now, uh, landing thrusters.

Landing thrusters. Hm.

If I were a landing thruster

which one of these would I be?

Hyperion's forward guns
powering up.

Preparing to fire. Locking on.

- Range to target?
- Closing.

300 kilometers. 250.

Standby, defense grid.
Prepare to fire.

Alpha Flight,
take point and engage.

'Affirmed, Control. Engaging.'

What the..

What the hell are you two
doing down here?

I figured maybe we had hijackers
or tech stealers or..

Mr. Garibaldi,
you may have noticed

but things are not going well
down here.

We believe we can help.

Finished. Have created
a pocket of air for you.

The machine
that controls this planet

needs a mind to run it

'or it will destroy itself
and Babylon 5 with it.'

So you're going back in,
is that it?

No. I am.

I will take his place..

'...in the heart
of the machine.'

Fire defense grid.
Maximum range.

I can't allow this.
There has to be another way.

There is no other way.

Please believe me.

All my life I have searched
for a way to serve others.

'To me,
there is no higher calling'

no greater destiny

than to live for another

and if necessary,
to die for another

to somehow make the world
a better place.

I had done all I could
on my world.

I came looking for a reason

a way to live out
my remaining years

with direction and purpose.

Here I have found it.

'I will save lives.'

The wonders of this place

will take me centuries
to explore.

Let my life have meaning.

Help me to do
what we both know must be done.

Direct hit.
Reporting damage at Cobra Bays.

Hulls Blue A through C buckling,
20% power loss.

One more shot like that
and they'll blowout

the whole forward section.

- Where's the Hyperion?
- On the other side.

Enemy ship's keeping us
between them.

It's coming around again.

Weapon systems powering up.

- They're locking on.
- This is it.

What the hell?

I am sending this message
to all three parties involved

in the struggle
for control of this planet.

It belongs to none of you.

It belongs only to itself

and to the future.

'Commander Sinclair'

'the secrets buried here
must remain secrets.'

They would give any race
an advantage over all others.

Thus, it is in the interests
of all races

that none should gain
exclusive control of it.

We entrust the safekeeping
of this place

to the Babylon 5
Advisory Council.

'We'll rely upon your guidance,
commander'

'and the enlightened
self-interest of the Council'

to make sure
that this world is left alone

until the time is right.

If enlightened self-interest

should prove insufficient
to the cause

understand this

the defensive systems
on this world

are now fully operational.

'Do not attempt
to come here again.'

'Any approach will be met
with resistance.'

'Any ship attempting to land
will be destroyed.'

When the time is right

we will be here
waiting for you

but not until then.

Goodbye.

Somebody better get Pierce
on the link.

Commander, the enemy ship
is moving again.

- It's headed toward the planet.
- What?

- Didn't they get the message?
- They got it.

But I don't think
they believed it.

Delenn, we're finished here.
We should go.

He's right, ambassador.

I know.

If I could..

If I could have just a moment.

You will take care of him?

I have few days left to me

but I will watch him
until the end.

We should know very soon

if the machine
has truly accepted him.

How could it not?

Tell me that it's a wonder
so that I may sleep

when all I can see in the night
is this place.

It is a wonder.

The machine
will extend his life

as it did for me.

'He will see all the tomorrows'

'hear all the songs..'

...touch
the edge of the universe

with his thoughts.

And my thoughts
will ever be with him.

I hope that he can hear them.

The third principle
of sentient life

is its capacity
for self-sacrifice..

'...for a cause,
a loved one..'

'...or for a friend.'

Goodbye, dear friend.

Perhaps, some day

I may see you again.

'We'll be putting into dock'

'for repairs at Earthport.'

'ETA nine days.'

'With luck, they won't be
quite as eventful'

'as the last couple of days.'

So much for R and R.

I suppose you should know

we received a communique

from Earthdome.

'President Santiago confirms'

that you have
primary jurisdiction

over the Babylon station
and this sector of space.

My, uh, regrets

if I exceeded my authority.

Apology accepted.
Have a safe trip.

Will do. Hyperion out.

Commander, we finally got
a secure line

to the Mars Colony.

But before you tell
Mr. Garibaldi

there's something
you should know.

Yeah, I'm coming, I'm coming.

What?

Michael, we've got
the Mars Colony relay.

We've located your friend.

- Is she..
- She's alive, yes.

Wounded, but okay.
The doctors say she'll be fine.

Oh, that's great.

- Put her through?
- Coming in.

And, Michael,
if you want to talk later

'you know where to find me.'

Michael. Hi.

I hear you've been turning Mars
upside down looking for me.

Well, you know me.
I had to know if you were okay.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Got caught in a crossfire
trying to get some food.

Fighting's died down a little.

Looks like
the provisional government

has got the upper hand.

Good. Good.

Look, Lise,
these relays get kinda weird.

So we don't have a lot of time.
I just wanted to say--

- Michael..
- Please, let me finish.

I've made a lot of mistakes
in my life.

And you're one of them.

I never should've left you.
I realize that now.

'I've got a couple of weeks
leave coming soon'

and I am gonna take it on Mars.

I thought maybe we could
work things out if--

Michael, I can't.

Oh, if it's the job..

I'm married.

Oh.

His name is Franz.

We're expecting our first baby
in September.

That's great.

I'm glad for you.

Really.

Mr. Garibaldi.

Ambassador.

I see you come here also
to lose yourself in the stars.

It's quiet.

I like quiet.

Ask you a question?

Why the end run around us?

When you figured out
that someone

was gonna have to take
Varn's place down there

why didn't you come to us
and let us handle it?

Because if I had,
I know in my heart

that Commander Sinclair would
be the one down there right now.

He's looking for a purpose.

But his destiny lies elsewhere.

And Londo. How did you get him
to go along with this?

An exchange of promises.
I now owe him a great favor.

'He will come to collect
sooner or later.'

But I think he enjoyed it.

He discovered something
inside him

that he had thought was buried
long, long ago.

Yeah, well,
one thing I have discovered

is that some things
are better left buried.

Goodnight, ambassador.

Franz.. What the hell
kind of a name is Franz?

Goodnight, old friend.

Sleep well.
