'Home run.'

'Fair ball.'

Swinging like
you've had a rough day.

You try an eight-hour session

with the League
of Non-aligned Worlds.

They're thinking about
banning both the Narn

and the Centauri
from the Corridor.

There's been a few incidents
around the trade gates.

'Foul ball.'

At least you didn't have
to spend your day

in the Triangle.

'Fair ball.'

"Triangle"?

Grey Sector.

Ever since B-5 went online

there's been all kinds
of stories about the place.

Strange lights, weird noises,
people vanishing.

Maintenance nicknamed it
the "B-5 Triangle."

Now they swear
there's something

making their scanners
go haywire.

'Foul ball.'

Anything to the stories?

Yeah, every station
has its phantoms.

Personally, I've never
seen anything down there

but it is, you know,
kinda creepy.

'Foul ball.'

Well, in that case, I'll have
to take a look for myself.

- Why?
- 'Curiosity.'

Look, when I was a kid

I used to love to wander
through all those creepy places.

I mean, uh, haunted houses,
forbidden paths

Indian burial grounds.

It was like candy.
I couldn't get enough of them.

Just don't go in there alone,
okay?

Oh that's half the fun of it.

'Strike three.
You're out.'

Thanks.

No, no, no, Vir.

You can't even begin
to compare the compositions

of Trentara with those of Dorva.

But, Londo, Dorva is fun.

Fun? Fun?

The man was a giant
of Centauri Opera.

His opening Aria
for Trovalli's "Ducata"?

Please. This is one
of the most brilliant

soul-stirring piece of music
ever written.

That's very commendable, Londo

and you sing it quite well.

But it cannot stand beside
Trentara's "Mi Quirva Tara."

Oh, Vir.

They don't write them
like that anymore.

How fitting you should die

with a song on your lips,
Mollari.

The Babylon Project was our
last best hope for peace.

A self-contained world
five-miles long

located in neutral territory.

A place of commerce
and diplomacy

for a quarter of a million
humans and aliens.

A shining beacon in space..

...all alone in the night.

It was the dawn
of the Third Age of mankind.

The year the Great War
came upon us all.

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

The year is 2259.

The name of the place
is "Babylon 5."

Who are you?

Your doom, Paso Leati.

Paso Leati?

- Urza?
- Londo.

Urza!

How good it is to see
your sad face again.

Yes, you almost saw it
for the last time.

By all the Gods, never play
a trick like that on me again.

- Forgive me.
- As always.

Vir, I want you to meet
an old friend of mine.

This is Urza Jaddo.

Excuse me.

Vocator Urza Jaddo

hero of the Battle of Gorash

and the finest swordsman
in the Couro Prido

next to me, of course.

Urza, Vir Cotto, my attache.

Now we shall go back
to my quarters

open a bottle of fine Brivari

and you shall tell me
what happy miracle

has brought you here
to Babylon 5.

Alas, I must decline
for the moment.

The journey from
Centauri Prime was long.

There are things
I must attend to.

But later..

...we will talk of many things

and drink deeply
of your fine Brivari.

I look forward to it.

Hey.

You alright?

Oh, Jesus.

Sheridan to Garibaldi.

'Garibaldi.'

Chief, I'm in Grey 10.

I've just found a..

Chief? Chief!

'Captain, I can't read you.'

'Send again. Send again.'

Garibaldi, I can't read you.

There must be..

'Captain, you alright?'

Yeah. I'm okay.

Just get down here
as soon as you can.

Your epinephrine level's
a bit elevated

but that's consistent
with a sudden state of shock.

Could use a little rest,
otherwise you're fine.

Shock's a pretty mild word
for it, doc.

I've been attacked
by aliens before

but never by dead ones.

So maybe next time
you'll listen

when I tell you not
to do something.

Sir.

No, I-I'd say the attack
was a simple..

...postmortem reaction.

Dead bodies build up
deposits of gas

which can cause them
to emit sounds

or move as if
they're still alive.

Oh, that's cute,
a zombie with a gas attack.

Any idea what killed him?

Well, at first glance,
I'd say massive head trauma

but I'll have to do an autopsy.

Alright, can you identify him?

Oh, that's easy.

His name's..

Sush na, uh, something or other.

Yeah.

- "Chay-yosh-nay."
- Gesundheit.

He came in three days ago
from the Corridor

registered a cargo.
Supposed to depart tomorrow.

He's been staying
in the Markab Sector.

Alright. You and I will
go through his quarters.

Send a detail
to check out his..

Captain?

Are you alright?

I just felt a little
dizzy there.

Maybe the doc is right about me

needing some rest.

Okay, look,
I'll handle the search.

You cop a little sack time

and I'll let you know
what we find.

So how long have you
and Vocator Jaddo

known each other?

Oh, ever since we were children.

But our houses have been allied

since the earliest days
of the Republic.

Why does he call you
Paso Leati?

In dueling societies,
it is customary for each member

to be given a fighting name
by his comrades.

They said I fought
like a crazed Leati

and so they called me
Paso Leati.

Urza was known as Skal Tura

the silent beast.

Well, those were great times
Vir.

We were young, proud, fierce..

...bursting to prove ourselves

to each other
and to the world.

As our ships ruled
the spaceways

and our power was rivaled

by that of the Gods only.

Uh, Great Maker

it was good to be
a Centauri then.

Every generation
of Centauri mourns

for the golden days when their
power was like unto the gods.

It-it's counterproductive.

I mean, why make history
if you fail to learn by it?

You know, Vir,
you have what the Earthers call

a negative personality.

No, I don't.

There. You see?

Oh, delightful.

Urza will be pleased.

In the old days,
his capacity for Brivari

was almost legendary.

Enter!

Paso Leati

my heart leaps
to see you again.

No more than does mine

my good and dear friend
Skal Tura.

- The Brivari.
- Yes!

And you will not
be disappointed.

Val'tu.

Lights.

What?

Captain?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You okay?

Yeah. Yeah. I'm okay.

How'd you get here so fast?

I was on my way
with the forensics report

when E-systems picked up
gunfire in your quarters.

- Yeah.
- What happened?

It was here.

It attacked me.

What?

A Grylor.

It's an animal
native to Janos 7.

I was stalked by one once.

Yeah.

'It almost killed me here.'

I shot it.

It must have been a nightmare.

No, no, no, no.

No, it was no nightmare.

I saw it.

At least I think I did.

Hey, it happens.

I mean, I once saw
a whole chorus line

of purple wombats doing
show tunes in my bathtub.

Of course, I was pretty drunk
at the time.

Yeah.

So what does forensics say?

Suicide.

Are you telling me he bashed

his own skull in?

Yeah. Against the pipe
where you found him.

Doc picked half of it
out of his brainpan.

Any idea why?

No. Not a clue.

I mean, bioscans
were all normal.

Oh, no. Maybe he was in a
religious.. A religious frenzy.

The Markab have rituals
in which they lose

all control of themselves.

That's possible,
except those rituals

usually involve psychotropics.

This guy's system was clean.

And besides, why would he
go to Grey Sector

to practice his religion?

I don't know.

You keep checking.
I want answers.

I'll be in C and C
if you need me.

I kind of like it.

And what about you?

'Are you still married
to Marilya?'

We are comfortable
with each other.

She understands.

Well, I'm happy for you

and jealous.

Aw, after all these years,
Paso Leati..

...have you still not found
love?

Oh, there was someone,
a dancer named Adira.

And?

Oh, it ended as all love does.

Badly.

Listen to me.

Moaning about dead passions
like an old drunk.

You know what I need?
A drink.

A drink!

Your name is spoken often
on Centauri Prime these days.

Oh, yes?

And what do they say about me
when they speak my name?

That your star..

...is once again in ascendance

'as is the Republic's.'

Well, it's about time.

The Centauri have bowed
to the, to the whims

of other races for too long.

Now, we will show
the galaxy our true spirit.

Beginning with those..

...those thrice-damned Narn.

Emperor Turhan,
may the Gods comfort him

never wanted another war
with the Narn.

The emperor was a good man
but he was wrong about the Narn.

War with them was inevitable.

They have given us little choice
in the matter.

The Narn did not
start this conflict.

They were forced into it
by a faction

within our own midst.

The same faction

who murdered
Prime Minister Malachi

and put that infantile puppet

Cartagia on the throne!

I was told Malachi
took his own life

when the emperor passed away.

'That's the official story.'

Many such lies
are told nowadays.

Why do you tell me this, Urza?

A resolution..

...is about to be brought
before the Centaurum..

...declaring me and my house

traitors to the Republic.

No. You're joking.

They could never prove
such a thing.

These days, the mere accusation
is enough.

I am a marked man, Londo

and if these villains
have their way

I will be disgraced.

And you know what that means.

What do you want me to do?

You were always clever, Londo.

And House Mollari is still
one of the most respected

of the noble houses.

If you stand with me..

...I know I can save my family.

I'll do what I can.

I knew you would not deny me,
Paso Leati.

And now I must go.

Tomorrow I will
arrange a banquet

to celebrate our reunion.

I thank you
for the fine Brivari

and your friendship.

Commander.

Everything in order?

Remarkably so.

It's beginning to worry me.

Oh, you always worry when
things are going well?

I don't have time to worry
about them when they're not.

Jumpgate online.

'It's theArkati.'

She's preregistered.
Route her to Bay 8.

- What the hell?
- Sir?

Anna.

Captain, what is it?

Station 6, go to hyper track.

I want that whole area scanned
right now.

What area, sir?

Captain?

'Something wrong?'

I..

I have to see to something.

And then in C and C,
I...I saw theIcarus.

TheIcarus?

Yeah.

It was a science ship,
my wife was aboard.

I saw it explode
as if I were there.

Doc, it happened over
two years ago and..

...I wasn't there.

Look, I have run you through
every test that I know.

There is nothing wrong
with you...organically.

Oh, great.
Then I'm just plain nuts.

Well, anyone willing
to command Babylon 5

has got to be
slightly insane

but I don't think that you're
ready for the asylum just yet.

Then what is wrong with me?

Well, it's possible you picked
up some kind of new virus

from the corpse, somethin'
our scanners can't spot.

I know a good Markab doctor.
I'll check with him.

There might be
a simpler explanation.

Seven months ago,
you were commanding

in a starship on the rim, right?

- Yeah.
- Alright.

Suddenly you're put
in charge of a small city

in space just as
a major war breaks out.

Your diet changes, your sleep
is constantly interrupted

you face a major crisis
every other day

and to top it all off,
you're not sure

you can trust the very
people who put you here.

Now that's a lot of stress.

Maybe you're sending
yourself a message.

I'll put you on medical leave
for a few days.

Oh, no, no. Impossible.

I have a station to run.

Well, Commander Ivanova
is quite capable of doing that.

- I want you to relax.
- No.

Let other people handle
things for a little while.

Give me your hand.

This is going to monitor
any abnormalities

in your system functions.

Oh, doc.

And I'm also prescribing
a mild sedative.

I want you to relax
and enjoy yourself.

That is an order.

You know, you're just
like your father.

Well, thank you.

'Refa, at last.'

Taking care of our
mutual interests

consumes much of my time.

What can I do for you, Mollari?

I am told Vocator Jaddo

will be declared a traitor
by the Centaurum?

'He is a traitor.'

Don't be a fool.

Urza may differ
with a few politicians

but he would never betray
the Republic.

I will vouch for him
personally.

Have you said this publicly?

It will not be necessary.

I want the resolution dropped.

It is already accomplished.

Well, then unaccomplish it.

Urza is a friend,
more than a friend.

He is a dueling comrade.

My house and his
have been allies

since the earliest days
of the Republic.

I will stand up for him.

That is unfortunate.

I'm afraid
the political repercussions

will be very grave.

House Jaddo is crumbling

and anyone who defends it
will crumble as well.

We'll try and protect you,
of course

but if your link
with this man gets out..

...you may no longer
fit in with our plans.

Ifit in with yourplans?

Perhaps you are forgetting

who made your plan
a reality.

'And how it was done.'

Mollari, if you insist
on clinging

to the coat of a doomed man,
there is little I can do.

But, I will try.

Yes.

You know,
on rare occasions

I am proud to be
your attache.

Be careful, Vir.

Such compliments will turn
my head. Get me a drink.

And then contact all my agents

on Centauri Prime.

It's time I paid
more attention

to what's happening
on homeworld.

'Foul ball.'

Captain.

Mr. Garibaldi.

Is there something wrong?

No. Just, uh, wanted to see
how you were doing.

Better. A lot better.

You know, I almost forgot
what it's like to just relax.

If you call three straight hours
of batting practice relaxing.

Does the term
"Obsessive-compulsive"

ring a bell?

'Holding pitch.'

Yeah.

Did you find out anything
more about that Markab?

No, not really.

Every check confirms
he was just

your average business type.

There is one thing.

He came through Sector 14
on his way here.

Sector 14?
Isn't that restricted?

That's right, ever since
the incident

last year with Babylon 4.

Babylon 4? I thought
that was destroyed.

So did we, till we got
a signal from it.

Wait a second, I never read
anything about this

in the station logs.

Well, that's because
Earthforce decided

to confiscate all the records
for their investigation.

'And B-4 was caught up
in some kind of weird'

'space-time phenomenon.'

'We managed to get
all its people off'

before it disappeared again.

But Earthforce believes
there's still some kind

of anomaly out there.

Maybe the Markab encountered it.

Anyway, it's all here.

I thought you said
the, uh, records

were all confiscated.

- I made a copy.
- Oh.

You never know when I might
wanna write my memoirs..

Thanks.

Keep your elbow up.

Oh, my.

Yes. Magnificent.

Urza always knew
how to throw a banquet.

Come.

- Urza.
- Welcome, Londo.

You know Lord Valo.

Lord Valo,
good to see you again.

- Londo.
- My lady.

A month ago he would
have grown horns

rather than speak to me.

He still may.

- You must try the Japoti.
- Oh, yes. Please.

I brought it fresh
from the homeworld.

Oh, really?
Good. Good.

Yes. Look.

Oh, divine!

To us!

Old comrades well met.

And to the Republic.

To the republic.

Quite an impressive
array of guests.

Nobles every one, hmm?

They are friends

and when I announce
our alliance

against those who seek
to dishonor my house

and our Republic

they will make sure
word is spread

throughout the court.

It'll not be necessary.

I've taken care of it.

What do you mean?

Oh, you've asked for my help.
I've given it.

No charges will be made
against you or your house.

The resolution has already been
brought before the Centaurum.

And my sources assure me
it will pass.

Yeah, but that's not possible.

Lord Refa promised.

Refa?

What do you have
to do with him?

He is a friend,
a man of great influence.

With his help, we--

I will get no help
from that assassin.

It was he who had
the resolution

brought before the Centaurum.

You must be mistaken.

Knowledge..

...is a basic tool of politics.

Mine is considerable.

But I never dreamed

you would be a part
of his schemes.

Why, Londo?

I have a destiny to fulfill.

One which would
take our people

back to a golden age.

We are Centauri, Urza.

We are meant to conquer,
to rule, to build empires.

You, the hero of Gorash,
should know that.

I am an old hero.

And what I saw
and did at Gorash

still haunts me
in the night.

I do not want to return
to that kind of glory, Londo.

You listen to me, Urza.

No one can stop this.

A new day is coming
to our people, a great day.

And I can help you
be a part of it.

You cannot build an empire

based on slaughter

and deceit.

Turhan knew that.

I thought you did, too.

Perhaps it is best
that I go.

No, you cannot go yet.

I have a gift for you.

A coutari.

And a finer blade
I have never seen.

It is the blade
I carried at Gorash.

I meant it as a symbol
of our alliance.

Oh, it is magnificent.

But I cannot accept it.

Then accept this, Paso Leati.

By the laws
of the Couro Prido

I challenge you
to the Morago, Londo Mollari.

You would fight me
to the death, Urza?

Yes, to save my honor

and my family
from your new friends.

Or have you become
as cowardly as they?

I take your gift
and your challenge

in the spirit in which
they are offered.

Go.

Make your peace
with the Gods

and return here
in two hours.

Freeze frame.

Well, I'll be..

What do you want?

Mom.

Dad.

Yes.

'Franklin to Sheridan.'

What were you thinking?

You can't fight a duel
to the death.

I must. Urza and I are
Couro Prido, proud knives.

It would bring disgrace
on our house

if I were to decline
his challenge.

Those noble friends
of his would see to that.

Disgrace is preferable
to death.

There was a time
when I would agree with you.

That time has passed.

Londo, this is insane.

Insanity is part
of the times!

You must learn
to embrace the madness.

Let it fire you.

- Garibaldi.
- 'This is Dr. Franklin.'

'Do you know
where the captain is?'

What's wrong, doc?

'Well, his med-bracelet
monitored'

'a strange neural surge'

'and then went dead.'

'He's not answering his link.'

I'm on it.
Garibaldi to all officers.

I want the location
on Captain Sheridan.

Commander, my board shows
Delta-1 prepping for launch.

Delta-1,why are you
prepping for launch?

Delta-1,please respond.
This is Commander Ivanova.

'Ivanova, this is Sheridan.'

Captain?
What are you doing?

Just going out
for a little spin.

There is no need to worry.

I'll be back
before you know it.

I hope.

Authorization code,
Gamma 6-6-Z-niner.

Override locking controls.

Open bay doors.

Delta-1is launching.

Ivanova to Garibaldi.

Londo..

I knew you would
not disappoint me.

Do you really intend
to go through with this, Urza?

It is the only way.

I do not want to kill you.

In all our duels together,
you never could match me

with a coutari.

In all our duels together

my life was never in jeopardy.

You'll find I set
great store by it.

'Delta-2toDelta-1.'

'Do you read me?'

- Garibaldi, is that you?
- It's one and the same.

Mind telling me
what you're doing?

I'm giving someone a lift.

I think.

Wanna explain that, sir?

'Haven't quite got it all
figured out myself..'

But I think you were right.

The answer's in Sector 14.

Sector 14?
But that's..

'Yeah, I know.'

Lucky me.

The Morago is declared
and accepted.

Draw your swords with purpose..

...and sheathe them with honor.

Oh, Skal Tura.

Yeah, this is the place.

Computer, scan for any
unusual phenomena.

'Unable to comply.'

'Sensors malfunctioning
due to high level of'

'tachyon particles.'

What the hell.

Holy jumpin'!

Captain.

Do you read me?

'Captain Sheridan,
do you read me?'

'Captain!'

Computer, lock on to Delta-1.
Prepare to grapple.

'Unable to lock on.'

'Signal unstable.'

Damn it.

Remind me to leave you
home next time.

Alright.
We can do this ourselves.

Alright. Come on.

Come on.

Nice and easy.

That's it, Yeah!

Alright!

Reverse thrusters.
Full power.

Get us out of here.

'Babylon 5, it's Garibaldi..'

'Bringing our wandering
captain home.'

Age has not dimmed
your skill, Paso Leati.

Nor yours, Skal Tura.

Let us end it then.

Londo!

The first stroke..

...Paso Leati.

Why did you make me
do this, Urza?

My family, I could not
let them share my disgrace.

But this way,
I die with honor.

And you will see
they are protected.

Yes, yes.
I promise it.

I will guard them
as if they were my own.

Thank you..

...old friend.

I will miss you.

It was a life form.

Sentient,
but completely alien.

But what was it doing
in your head?

It was trying to survive
and go home.

Oh, he must've come through
that rift in Sector 14

and somehow wound up
in that Markab's body.

It drove him mad.

How did you figure out
what it wanted from you?

The images I got.

Fear, loss, home.

Somehow it was
sending me a message

and touching deep emotions in me
which mirrored its own state.

I was actually seeing
what it felt.

This is fantastic.

For this creature
not to show up on my scans

it would have to be
completely different

from every alien species
we know.

Possibly gaseous in nature
or-or maybe even pure energy.

And yet, somehow it made
an empathic connection with you.

- I think he's excited.
- Excited?

We could be discovering
a whole new lifeform here.

Since you helped it,
you think we might be able

'to contact it again?'

Uh, no, thanks.

I prefer to be only
slightly insane.

Yeah. Don't we all?

I've made the arrangements
you requested for Urza's family.

Londo?

That's very good, Vir.
Thank you.

Londo..

...you had no choice.

He would've killed you.

He could've killed me anytime.

He was right, you know.

I never could best him
with a coutari.

But my death would not
have saved his family.

I don't understand.

By the laws of the Morago

the victor must accept
the loser's family

as part of his own.

They're House Mollari now.

They cannot be harmed
by the resolution

passed against Urza.

He sacrificed himself.

I have made many choices
lately, Vir.

And today,
for the first time..

...I'm not sure
those choices were right.

Perhaps some good has come
out of this tragedy.

It's not too late
to make some new choices.

No.

The blood is already
on my hands.

Right or wrong..

...I must follow the path..

...to its end.

- But Londo--
- 'You can go now, Vir.'

I want to sleep..

...if I can.
