THIS IS ABSURD.

TWO HOURS I HAVE
BEEN STANDING IN LINE.

"OUR STAFF
ARE OVERWHELMED,"
THEY TELL ME.

"TOO MANY PEOPLE
TRYING TO GET HOME
OR ESCAPE HERE."

AH!

RUMORS OF REBELLION
AND WAR.

EVEN THE DIPLOMATIC
LANES ARE CLOGGED.

FAH!

IF YOU ASK ME,

I KNOW THE REAL PROBLEM.

EVER SINCE
THE EARTH PUT NARNS
ON THEIR SECURITY FORCE,

EVERYTHING HERE
HAS GONE TO HELL.

THEY'RE NOT
VERY EFFICIENT,
YOU KNOW.

YOU HAVE TO KEEP
AN EYE ON THEM

AT ALL TIMES.

NEXT.

IDENTICARD, PLEASE.

HOW STRANGE.

I'M NOT GETTING
A CONFIRMATION
ON YOUR IDENTICARD.

OH, PLEASE!

YOU KNOW WHO I AM.

YES,
I KNOW WHO YOU ARE,
AMBASSADOR,

BUT THE COMPUTER,
YOU SEE, DOES NOT,

AND VERIFICATION
IS REQUIRED
PRIOR TO ENTRY.

PERHAPS I HAVE ENTERED
THE DATA INCORRECTLY.

WE ARE, AFTER ALL,
VERY INEFFICIENT.

YES, ONE MUST
KEEP AN EYE ON US
AT ALL TIMES.

ALRIGHT, NOW,
YOU LISTEN TO ME--

IN A MOMENT.

MEANWHILE, MANY OTHERS
ARE COMING THROUGH.

PLEASE STEP ASIDE,
AMBASSADOR.

THIS SHOULDN'T TAKE
MORE THAN, OH,

TWO OR THREE
STANDARD HOURS.

MADNESS.

TOTAL AND COMPLETE MADNESS.

THIS NEVER
WOULD HAVE HAPPENED

IF THE HUMANS
HADN'T STARTED FIGHTING

WITH ONE ANOTHER.

30% HIT TO REAR DECKS.

ONE MORE OF THOSE,
AND WE'RE GOING
TO LOSE ROTATION

AND GO Z-GRAVITY!

WE CAN'T OUTRUN THEM
IN NORMAL SPACE.

WE HAVE TO JUMP.

AND LEAVE OUR FIGHTERS
STRANDED? NO.

IF WE REEL THEM IN,
WE'LL LOSE OUR SCREEN.

CLARKSTOWNWILL BURN US
FROM STEM TO STERN!

DAMN IT!
HAVEN'T WE LOST ENOUGH--

IF YOU WON'T JUMP,
YOU'VE GOT TO LET ME

OPEN FIRE
WITH THE AFT BATTERIES.

I CAN'T KILL ANY MORE
OF OUR OWN SHIPS!

WE HAVE NO CHOICE!

FORWARD INTERCEPTORS
ON THE CLARKSTOWN
ARE DOWN.

WE CAN PUNCH
THROUGH THE HULL.

MAJOR, PLEASE.

LET ME TAKE THE GLOVES
OFF THE FIRING TEAM.

TELL THE AFT BATTERIES
TO OPEN FIRE.

COMMAND TO SQUADRON.

FIRE IN THE HOLE.

REPEAT,
FIRE IN THE HOLE.

AFT BATTERIES...

FIRE!

CLARKSTOWNDESTROYED,
MAJOR.

RELOADING FIGHTERS
AS FAST AS WE CAN.

AS SOON AS THEY'RE ABOARD,
MAKE THE JUMP TO HYPERSPACE.

BILL...DID YOU
EVER MEET THE CAPTAIN
OF THE CLARKSTOWN?

NO, SIR.

HE AND THE GENERAL WERE
AT THE ACADEMY TOGETHER.

HAGUE INTRODUCED ME
TO HIM LAST SUMMER.

HE HAS A WIFE BACK HOME.

THREE SMALL CHILDREN.

AN ABYSSINIAN CAT...
NAMED MAX.

THAT'S WHAT MAKES
THIS WAR DIFFERENT

FROM ANYTHING WE'VE EVER
GONE THROUGH BEFORE.

THIS TIME...WE KNOW
EVERYONE WE KILL.

I'LL TRY TO FIND SOMETHING

TO SAY TO BOTH
OF THEIR WIVES.

SIR?

ONCE WE JUMP...

WHAT'S OUR COURSE?

WE NEED TIME
TO MAKE REPAIRS,
CATCH OUR BREATH...

THERE'S ONLY ONE PLACE
SAFE FOR US.

SET COURSE FOR BABYLON 5.

THE BABYLON PROJECT WAS
OUR LAST BEST HOPE FOR PEACE.

IT FAILED.

IN THE YEAR OF THE SHADOW WAR, IT BECAME SOMETHING GREATER--

OUR LAST BEST HOPE...

FOR VICTORY.

THE YEAR IS 2260.

THE PLACE...

BAD NEWS, PEOPLE.

WE ARE FIVE HOURS AWAY
FROM A CRISIS SITUATION.

I JUST RECEIVED
A NARROW-BAND TRANSMISSION
FROM THE ALEXANDER.

THAT'S GENERAL HAGUE'S
SHIP.

HE'S SUFFERED HEAVY DAMAGE,

AND THEY NEED A PLACE
TO MAKE REPAIRS.

AND THEY'RE COMING HERE.

WELL, WE'RE SCREWED.

EVERY SHIP IN EARTHFORCE
IS HUNTING THEM DOWN

ON CHARGES OF TREASON.

AS SOON AS THEY
COME THROUGH THE GATE,

SOMEBODY WILL
SEND WORD BACK HOME.

ONCE THAT HAPPENS--

SO I NEED YOU

TO PUT A CUTOFF SWITCH
IN THE COM SYSTEM.

THE SECOND THEY GET HERE,
SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN.

JUST LEAVE A PRIVATE CHANNEL
IN CASE WE NEED IT

AND THE ISN FEED.

IT'S OUR ONLY LIFELINE
TO HOME.

WE NEED TO KNOW
WHAT'S HAPPENING.

WE KNEW WE'D END UP
IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS

SOONER OR LATER.

HOW FAR THIS GOES,
WE'LL JUST HAVE TO SEE.

ALL I KNOW RIGHT NOW
IS THAT HAGUE IS ARRIVING,

AND HELL IS RIDING IN
WITH HIM.

WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST
BRING HIM TO MEDLAB?

WE CAN'T ALLOW
ANYONE ELSE TO SEE HIM.

WE BELIEVE BOUNTY
HUNTERS ARE ALREADY HERE
LOOKING FOR HIM.

WE MUST SLIP HIM
INTO THE STATION QUIETLY.

WHAT HAPPENED?

HE'S SPENT
THE LAST SIX MONTHS

AMONG THE LEAGUE WORLDS
GATHERING INFORMATION.

HE WAS COMING HERE
WHEN HE WAS ATTACKED.

DOCTOR, WE CANNOT
LET HIM DIE.

HE'LL DIE IF WE DON'T
GET HIM TO MEDLAB NOW.

SECURITY
IS VERY TIGHT.

NARNS ARE AT ALL OF
THE CUSTOMS AREAS.

HOW DO WE KNOW
WHO TO TRUST?

YOU DON'T.

BUT I DO.

I'LL GET HIM PAST
THE OTHER NARN.

GOOD.
GIVE ME A HAND HERE?

UNNECESSARY.

AMBASSADOR...

CAN YOU CARRY HIM
VERY FAR?

AS FAR AS YOU LIKE.

...WITH THE LATEST NEWS
ON THE CONTINUING CRISIS.

XAVIER MONTOYA,
HEAD OF THE MARS
PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT,

ANNOUNCED TODAY
THAT HE WILL NOT IMPLEMENT

THE MARTIAL LAW ORDER
GIVEN FIVE DAYS AGO

BY PRESIDENT CLARK.

SO FAR, EARTHDOME HAS HAD
NO OFFICIAL RESPONSE

TO THIS ACT
OF OPEN DEFIANCE BY MARS,

EXCEPT TO SAY THAT THEY ARE
CONSIDERING ALL OPTIONS.

IS GARIBALDI
STANDING BY?

THE CUTOFF SWITCH IS
IN PLACE AND READY TO GO.

JUMP GATE ACTIVATED.

WE'VE GOT A SHIP
COMING THROUGH.

SHERIDAN TO GARIBALDI.
KILL IT.

MAY I HAVE
YOUR ATTENTION.

YOUR INSTRUMENTS
ARE CORRECT.

THAT'S THE ALEXANDER.

SHE'S BEEN IN COMBAT
FOR SOME TIME,

AND WE WILL RENDER
FULL ASSISTANCE.

BUT, CAPTAIN--

THE COMMANDER AND I
ARE AWARE

OF STANDING ORDERS
CONCERNING THE ALEXANDER

AND HER CREW.

WE TAKE FULL AND PERSONAL
RESPONSIBILITY.

NOW, IF ANYONE HAS
A PROBLEM WITH THIS...

THEY'RE FREE TO LEAVE
THE COMMAND DECK.

WE HAVE JUST BEEN THRUST
INTO THE MIDDLE

OF EXTRAORDINARY EVENTS.

SO WE MUST APPROACH THIS
CALMLY AND RATIONALLY.

THOSE ARE NOT
THE ENEMY OUT THERE.

WE WEAR THE SAME UNIFORMS,

AND WE'VE BOTH SWORN
TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION.

THEY'RE AS LOYAL
TO EARTH AS YOU ARE,

AND WE WILL RENDER
HUMANITARIAN AID
TO THEM.

BECAUSE...

AS MUCH
AS OUR HUMANITY...

GOT US INTO THIS...

OUR HUMANITY'S
THE ONLY THING

THAT'S GOING TO
GET US OUT AGAIN.

DELENN...

TAKE IT EASY.
YOU'RE SAFE.

NO, NONE OF US
IS SAFE ANYMORE.

THE SHADOWS ARE MOVING.

THEY HAVE MADE ALLIANCES
WITH MANY

IN THE NONALIGNED WORLDS

AND URGED THEM
TO GO TO WAR

WITH THEIR NEIGHBORS.

NO.

WHY WOULD THEY
GO ALONG WITH THIS?

THEY LISTENED
TO THE SHADOWS
OUT OF FEAR,

AFRAID THAT
IF THEY DID NOT
ALLY THEMSELVES

WITH A GREATER FORCE,

THEY WOULD BE CONQUERED

BY THE CENTAURI.

BUT...

AN ALLIANCE OF DEFENSE

HAS NOW GROWN
INTO THE DREAM...

OF CONQUEST.

THEY BELIEVE

THAT AS LONG AS
THEY ARE PROTECTED
BY THE SHADOWS,

THEY CANNOT BE DEFEATED,

AND SO THEY GO TO WAR
WITH ONE ANOTHER.

HAS THE GREY COUNCIL
BEEN INFORMED?

THE GREY COUNCIL
HAS SAID...

"THE PROBLEMS
OF OTHERS...

ARE NOT OUR CONCERN."

CAPTAIN.

MAJOR RYAN.

WHERE'S GENERAL HAGUE?

GENERAL HAGUE WAS KILLED
IN OUR LAST FIREFIGHT.

WE WERE COMING BACK
FROM A MEETING
WITH SOME OFFICIALS

ON ORION 7,

WHEN WE WERE AMBUSHED.

HE WAS ON HIS WAY
TO THE COMMAND DECK,

WHEN WERE HIT AMIDSHIPS
BY THE CLARKSTOWN.

IN HIS ABSENCE,

I'VE TRIED TO CARRY ON
AS BEST I CAN.

BETWEEN THIS
AND WHAT'S BEEN
GOING ON BACK HOME,

THE CREW IS...

JUST STUNNED.

WHAT'S THE LATEST
ON THE COUP?

A FEW SENATORS MANAGED
TO ESCAPE EARTHDOME,

SHOCK TROOPS ARE
OUT IN FORCE EVERYWHERE,

PARIS, LONDON, NEW YORK,

MOSCOW, NEW DELHI.

HOW ARE THE FOLKS BACK HOME
DEALING WITH THIS?

THAT'S THE IRONY.
MOST OF THEM HAVE
WELCOMED MARTIAL LAW.

IT'S CUT CRIME
DOWN TO NOTHING.

ON THE SURFACE,
IT'S PEACEFUL.

THE PEACE OF THE GUN.

WHY HAVEN'T WE
SEEN THIS ON ISN?

ISN IS WALKING
A FINE LINE.

IF THEY
PUSH TOO FAR,

THEY'LL BE
SHUT DOWN.

WE HAVE ONE CHANCE.

MARS HAS REJECTED
MARTIAL LAW.

IF THEY CAN
STAND UP TO CLARK,

THEY MIGHT BE ABLE
TO RALLY SUPPORT

FROM OTHER
COLONY WORLDS
AND PUSH HIM BACK.

UNLESS HE PUSHES BACK.

HIS POWER BASE
IS BACK ON EARTH

WHERE HE HAS NIGHTWATCH
AND THE BULK OF OUR FORCES.

I CAN'T BELIEVE
PEOPLE IN EARTHFORCE
WOULD GO ALONG WITH THIS.

HE SPENT THE LAST YEAR
PUTTING HIS PEOPLE
IN KEY PLACES.

ANYONE WHO
RAISES A VOICE

IS IMMEDIATELY
CHARGED WITH TREASON.

UNDER CONDITIONS
LIKE THAT,

IT'S...

IT'S EASIER
TO KEEP QUIET.

YES?

WE JUST INTERCEPTED
A CODED MESSAGE

FROM EARTHFORCE
COMMAND.

THEY'VE STARTED
BOMBING MARS.

REPEAT, THEY'RE
BOMBING MARS.

I'M LEAVING YOU IN CHARGE
IN MY ABSENCE.

I WILL SUPPORT
ANY ACTION YOU TAKE.

THANK YOU.

DELENN, PLEASE
BE CAREFUL.

THE GREY COUNCIL
IS NOT WHAT IT WAS.

THEY MAY NOT
RECEIVE YOU WELL

IF THEY WILL
SEE YOU AT ALL.

THEY'LL SEE ME
WHETHER THEY
LIKE IT OR NOT.

YOUR SHIP'S READY
TO GO, AMBASSADOR.

WE GOT YOU
PRIORITY CLEARANCE.

EVERYONE'S TRYING TO LEAVE

NOW THAT FIGHTING'S
BROKEN OUT BACK HOME.

GOOD LUCK.

G'KAR, THANK YOU
FOR YOUR HELP.

YOU ARE NO LONGER
THE SAME PERSON I MET

FOUR YEARS AGO.

CAPTAIN, YOU BETTER
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.

WE'VE GOT ANOTHER
EARTHFORCE DESTROYER.

IDENTIFICATION CODE

SAYS IT'S
THE CHURCHILL.

GOOD. MAJOR RYAN'S
BEEN WAITING FOR HER.

SHE'S HAILING US.

REPEAT, THIS IS
THE CHURCHILL

TO BABYLON CONTROL.

DO YOU COPY?

RIGHT HERE.

CAPTAIN SANDRA HIROSHI HERE.

IS MAJOR RYAN WITH YOU?

HE'S COORDINATING
REPAIRS
WITH OUR PEOPLE.

SHOULD WE GET HIM
ON THE LINK?

NEGATIVE.

I WON'T PUT THIS
ON AN OPEN CHANNEL.

TELL YOUR PEOPLE
TO STAND BY.
I'M COMING IN.

WE'VE BEEN
UNABLE TO DETERMINE

HOW MANY
HAVE BEEN KILLED

IN THE
RECENT ATTACKS ON MARS

BY EARTHGOV FORCES.

PRESIDENT CLARK ANNOUNCED
THE ATTACKS WILL CONTINUE

UNTIL THE MARS
PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT

ACCEDES TO MARTIAL LAW.

SO FAR, THERE'S BEEN
NO REACTION

FROM ANY OF THE OUTER
COLONIES CONCERNING--

I'M SORRY.

I'M SORRY TO
JUMP IN LIKE THIS,

BUT WE HAVE TO--

THE COLONIES
AT ORION 7
AND PROXIMA 3

HAVE JUST BROKEN AWAY
FROM THE EARTH ALLIANCE

IN PROTEST OVER
THE BOMBING OF MARS.

THEY'RE
SETTING THEMSELVES UP
AS INDEPENDENT STATES

UNTIL PRESIDENT CLARK
IS IMPEACHED--

RICK, DON'T DO THIS.

CLARK DOESN'T WANT
THIS INFORMATION
RELEASED,

BUT WE HAVE TO,

BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW
HOW LONG WE'LL
STAY ON THE AIR.

ARMED TROOPS ARE
MOVING IN ON ISN
HERE IN GENEVA.

WE JUST SAW THEM
COMING AROUND
THE CORNER.

WE'RE TRYING
TO GET A CAMERA

TO DOCUMENT
WHAT'S GOING ON.

I CAN HEAR
GUNFIRE NOW

HERE ON
THE 14th FLOOR.

THERE'S INFORMATION
YOU DON'T HAVE.

WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON
FOR THE LAST YEAR

WE HAVEN'T BEEN
ALLOWED TO TELL YOU.

MY GOD!
LOOK OUT!

GET DOWN!

MAJOR RYAN?
CAPTAIN?

WE JUST JUMPED IN
FROM ORION 7.

THEY'VE DECLARED
INDEPENDENCE.

WE'VE HEARD.

WHAT'S THE REACTION?

CLARK'S AFRAID OF LOSING
THE OTHER COLONIES,

SO HE'S SENDING
HIS ELITE FORCES

TO SEIZE DIRECT CONTROL
OF ANY COLONY THAT MIGHT
MOVE AGAINST HIM.

IF HE DISCOVERS
WE'RE HERE--

HE ALREADY KNOWS.

WE INTERCEPTED
ATTACK ORDERS

RELAYED TO
THE AGRIPPA
AND ROANOKE.

THEY'RE HOOKING UP
WITH HEAVY
REINFORCEMENTS

ON THE WAY IN.

WE'LL PULL OUT
BEFORE WE JEOPARDIZE
BABYLON 5 FURTHER.

MAJOR,
THE SHIPS RECEIVING
THE ATTACK ORDER

WERE ALREADY
ON THEIR WAY HERE.

HE DOESN'T WANT
TO RISK BABYLON 5
BREAKING AWAY.

THOSE SHIPS
ARE UNDER ORDERS

TO SEIZE COMMAND
OF BABYLON 5,

ARREST AND DETAIN
ITS CAPTAIN

AND THE REST OF
THE COMMAND STAFF,

AND TO PUT
THIS STATION

UNDER THE
DIRECT AUTHORITY

OF PRESIDENT CLARK
AND THE NIGHTWATCH.

THE OTHER GOVERNMENTS
WON'T STAND FOR IT.

THEY WON'T INTERVENE.

ALL THE MAJOR POWERS
ARE DIVIDED, DISTRACTED,

BUSY WITH
THEIR OWN WARS.

WE'RE ON OUR OWN.

SORRY TO
BE THE BEARER
OF SUCH BAD NEWS.

I THOUGHT
YOU SHOULD KNOW.

HOW LONG UNTIL
THEY GET HERE?

SIX HOURS, TOPS.

MAYBE LESS.

I'LL GET BACK
TO MY SHIP.

I SHOULD BE THERE
WHEN THE OTHERS ARRIVE.

WE COULD TRY TO JUMP,

DRAW SOME FIRE
AWAY FROM BABYLON 5.

NO, THANK YOU, MAJOR.

IF THIS IS WHERE
WE'LL MAKE OUR STAND,

THEN THIS IS WHERE
WE'LL DO IT.

I KNOW WE HOPED TO AVOID

A HEAD-ON CONFRONTATION
WITH EARTH,

THAT SOMEHOW WE COULD...

STOP THIS TRAIN
BEFORE IT WENT OFF-TRACK.

BUT THIS TRAIN IS HEADING
RIGHT FOR US,

AND THERE'S NOT
A LOT OF TIME.

SO WE HAVE
ONLY TWO OPTIONS.

WE FIGHT...

OR WE SURRENDER.

NOW, IF IT WAS JUST US,

HEY, YOU PAYS YOUR MONEY,
YOU TAKES YOUR CHANCE,

BUT IT'S NOT JUST US.

THERE'S A BILLION PEOPLE
OUT THERE COUNTING ON US.

NOW, I PROMISED DELENN

WE WOULD DRAW A LINE
AGAINST THE DARKNESS

NO MATTER THE COST.

WELL, NOW WE KNOW THE COST.

THERE'S TOO MUCH AT STAKE
TO WALK AWAY NOW.

IF WE SURRENDER,
THEY'LL COURT-MARTIAL US.

IF WE FIGHT AND LOSE,

THEY'LL PROBABLY KILL US.

THEY PROBABLY WILL AT THAT.

SO THE CHOICE IS YOURS.

I SAY FIGHT.

FIGHT.

WE'LL NEED EVERY
WARM BODY WE'VE GOT

WORKING SECURITY.

WHAT ABOUT THE NARNS?

THEM, TOO.
G'KAR'S GUARANTEED
THEIR LOYALTY,

AND SO FAR, HE'S KEPT
EVERY PROMISE HE MADE.

I WANT TWO
FIGHTER SQUADRONS
ON ROTATION

STARTING 30 SECONDS AGO.

PUT ALL BACKUP SQUADRONS
ON FULL ALERT.

IF IT CAN FLY,
I WANT IT LOADED

AND READY TO DROP

10 SECONDS AFTER
PRIMARY LAUNCHES.

DONE.

IF YOU'VE GOT PATIENTS
THAT CAN BE MOVED, DO SO.

WE'LL NEED THE SPACE.

YOU'LL HAVE IT.

I NEED TO MAKE A CALL.

TELL THE COMMAND STAFF
TO STAND BY.

TRY TO ACCESS DRAAL'S
HOLOGRAPHIC SYSTEM
ON EPSILON 3.

I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT
TO MAKE.

I TOLD YOU, DELENN,
THEY WILL NOT SPEAK TO YOU.

THEN THEY WILL
LISTEN TO ME.

I SERVED THE COUNCIL
FOR 16 CYCLES.

I WAS THE CHOSEN
OF DUKHAT
TO REPLACE HIM.

I HELD HIM
WHEN HE DIED.

HIS BLOOD
IS ON MY HANDS,

HIS SPIRIT
IN MY EYES,

HIS WORD ON MY LIPS.

YOU WILL STEP ASIDE

IN HIS NAME
AND MINE,

OR...

IN VALEN'S NAME,

I WILL TEAR
THIS SHIP APART
WITH MY BARE HANDS

UNTIL I FIND THEM.

MOVE ASIDE.

THREE YEARS.

FOR THREE YEARS,

I WARNED YOU
THIS DAY WAS COMING.

BUT YOU WOULD NOT LISTEN.

PRIDE, YOU SAID.

PRESUMPTION.

AND NOW THE SHADOWS
ARE ON THE MOVE.

THE CENTAURI
AND THE YOUNGER WORLDS

ARE AT WAR.

THE NARNS HAVE FALLEN.

EVEN THE HUMANS ARE
FIGHTING ONE ANOTHER.

THE PRIDE WAS YOURS.

THE PRESUMPTION
WAS YOURS.

FOR A THOUSAND YEARS,

WE HAVE BEEN AWAITING
THE FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY.

AND WHEN IT FINALLY HAPPENS,

YOU SCORN IT,
YOU REJECT IT

BECAUSE YOU NO LONGER
BELIEVE IT YOURSELVES.

"WE STAND BETWEEN THE CANDLE
AND THE STAR,

BETWEEN THE DARKNESS
AND THE LIGHT,"

YOU SAY THE WORDS,

BUT YOUR HEARTS
ARE EMPTY.

YOUR EARS CLOSE
TO THE TRUTH.

YOU STAND FOR NOTHING

BUT YOUR OWN
PETTY INTERESTS.

"THE PROBLEMS OF OTHERS

ARE NOT OUR CONCERN."

I DO NOT BLAME YOU
FOR STANDING SILENT

IN YOUR SHAME,

YOU, WHO KNEW
WHAT WAS COMING

BUT REFUSED TO TAKE UP
THE BURDEN OF THIS WAR.

IF THE WARRIOR CASTE
WILL NOT FIGHT,

THEN THE REST
OF US WILL.

THE COUNCIL
HAS LOST ITS WAY.

IF IT WILL NOT LEAD,

IF WE HAVE ABANDONED
OUR COVENANT WITH VALEN...

THEN THE COUNCIL
SHALL BE BROKEN...

AS WAS PROPHESIED.

WE MUST STAND
WITH THE OTHERS, NOW,

BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

BETWEEN THE WORKER CASTE
AND THE RELIGIOUS CASTE,

WE CONTROL 2/3
OF OUR FORCES.

TO YOU, I SAY,

LISTEN TO THE VOICE
OF YOUR CONSCIENCE,

BREAK THE COUNCIL,

AND COME WITH ME.

OUR TIME OF ISOLATION
IS OVER.

WE MOVE NOW,

TOGETHER,

OR NOT AT ALL.

TRANSMISSION SEQUENCE
COMPLETE.

STAND BY TO RECEIVE.

HI, DAD.

JOHN.

WELL, THIS IS
A SURPRISE.

I THOUGHT I'D SEE
HOW YOU'RE DOING.

FINE, FINE.

HAVING A FEW PROBLEMS
WITH THE CORN.

BEEN SO DAMN HOT LATELY,

THE WATER
DOESN'T SINK IN.

YOUR MOTHER STILL THINKS
I MAKE A BETTER DIPLOMAT

THAN A FARMER.

WHERE IS MOM?

SHE HAD TO GO INTO TOWN.
ERRANDS TO RUN.

SOME DAYS, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT SHE DOES WITH HER TIME,

BUT IF SHE'S HAPPY,
I'M HAPPY.

LISTEN, DAD,

UM...

I WANTED TO CALL BECAUSE...

WELL, THERE'S A LOT
GOING ON RIGHT NOW,

AND I DON'T KNOW
WHEN I'LL BE ABLE
TO CALL AGAIN.

IT MAY BE A WHILE.

I CAN'T REALLY EXPLAIN
ON AN OPEN CHANNEL, BUT--

SON,

I FOLLOW THE NEWS.

WELL, I DID,
UNTIL ISN WENT BLACK.

I SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.

YOUR MOTHER DOESN'T
LIKE TO THINK ABOUT IT.

YOU KNOW HOW SHE IS.

JOHN,

I CAN'T IMAGINE
THE KIND OF DECISIONS

THAT ARE GOING THROUGH
YOUR MIND RIGHT NOW.

I'M SURE
THEY'RE NOT EASY.

THE IMPORTANT ONES
NEVER ARE.

BUT WHEN PUSH
COMES TO SHOVE,

YOU'VE ALWAYS DONE
THE RIGHT THING.

WHAT WAS THE FIRST LESSON
I EVER TAUGHT YOU?

NEVER START A FIGHT,
BUT ALWAYS FINISH IT.

YOU DO WHAT
YOU HAVE TO DO, SON.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT US.

THE NEIGHBORS HERE
LIKE US,

LORD KNOWS WHY,

SO ANYBODY COMES FOR US,

THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE
QUITE A FIGHT
ON THEIR HANDS.

NOW I KNOW YOU PROBABLY GOT
A MILLION THINGS TO DO,

SO I'M GOING TO LET YOU
GO AND DO THEM.

AND I GUESS, UH...

I'LL TALK TO YOU
WHEN I TALK TO YOU.

GOODBYE, DAD.

LOVE TO YOU BOTH.

ALRIGHT,
EVERYONE, LISTEN UP.

THE COMMANDER AND I
HAVE PREPARED A RESPONSE

TO THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL
ACTIONS TAKEN AGAINST US

AND THE MARS COLONY
BY PRESIDENT CLARK.

IS DRAAL'S HOLOGRAPHIC
SYSTEM ON LINE?

JUST FINISHED.
STAND BY FOR SCAN.

YOU'RE ON LINE.
GO AHEAD.

MAY I HAVE
YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE?

IN THE LAST FEW HOURS,

WE HAVE LEARNED
THAT WARSHIPS

ARE COMING THIS WAY
FROM EARTH.

THEIR ORDERS ARE TO
SEIZE COMMAND OF BABYLON 5

BY FORCE.

AS COMMANDING OFFICER
AND MILITARY GOVERNOR
OF BABYLON 5,

I CANNOT ALLOW THIS
TO HAPPEN.

PRESIDENT CLARK HAS VIOLATED

THE EARTH ALLIANCE
CONSTITUTION

BY DISSOLVING THE SENATE,

DECLARING MARTIAL LAW,

AND PERSONALLY
ORDERING THE BOMBING

OF CIVILIAN TARGETS
ON THE MARS COLONY.

HE IS PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE DEATHS

OF HUNDREDS
OF INNOCENT PEOPLE.

FOLLOWING THESE ATTACKS,
ORION 7 AND PROXIMA 3

HAVE BROKEN AWAY
FROM THE EARTH ALLIANCE

AND DECLARED INDEPENDENCE.

BABYLON 5 NOW
JOINS WITH THEM.

AS OF THIS MOMENT,

BABYLON 5 IS SECEDING
FROM THE EARTH ALLIANCE.

WE WILL REMAIN
AN INDEPENDENT STATE

UNTIL PRESIDENT CLARK
IS REMOVED FROM OFFICE.

AT THE END OF THIS
CURRENT CRISIS,

ANYONE WHO WISHES
TO LEAVE FOR EARTH

IS FREE TO DO SO.

MEANWHILE,

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY,

I URGE EVERYONE
TO STAY IN YOUR QUARTERS

UNTIL THIS IS OVER.

THAT IS ALL.

WELL, WE'RE IN IT NOW.

SHOULD WE ASK DRAAL TO
HELP WITH THE DEFENSE?

NO, HE'S OUR
ACE IN THE HOLE.

I WANT TO KEEP HIM A SECRET
AS LONG AS WE CAN.

THIS IS OUR FIGHT,
NOT HIS.

ALRIGHT, ANYONE WHO
WANTS TO LEAVE,

DO SO NOW,

BEFORE YOU
VIOLATE ANY REGS.

YOU O.K.?

I THINK SO.

IT WAS KIND OF
A SURPRISE,

BUT, YEAH,

I'M O.K.

GOOD.

CAPTAIN,
REQUEST PERMISSION

TO JOIN STARFURY
SQUADRON.

REQUEST DENIED.

CAPTAIN, YOU'RE
ASKING THOSE PILOTS

TO GO AGAINST
EVERYTHING THEY'VE
BEEN TRAINED FOR

AND OPEN FIRE
ON OUR OWN SHIPS.

ONE OF US SHOULD BE
OUT THERE WITH THEM.

YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT.

GO.

MAJOR RYAN,
CAPTAIN HIROSHI.

RIGHT HERE, CAPTAIN.

ON LINE.

STAND BY.

JUMPGATE ACTIVATED.

HERE THEY COME.

LAUNCH FIGHTERS.

THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING.

IF YOU DO NOT SURRENDER, WE WILL
BE FORCED TO USE DEADLY FORCE.

THIS IS CAPTAIN JOHN SHERIDAN,
BABYLON 5.

YOU ARE EXECUTING
AN ILLEGAL ORDER

IN VIOLATION OF THE EARTH
ALLIANCE CONSTITUTION.

THESE ORDERS HAVE FORCED US
TO DECLARE INDEPENDENCE

IN ORDER TO ENSURE
THE SAFETY OF THIS STATION.

WE DON'T WANT A FIGHT,

BUT IF YOU ATTEMPT
TO CARRY OUT THESE ORDERS,

WE WILL DEFEND OURSELVES.

COME ON, CAPTAIN,

YOU MUST SEE
THESE ORDERS ARE WRONG.

LEAVE WHILE YOU STILL CAN.

THEY'VE BROKEN CONTACT.

ENEMY'S STARFURIES
MOVING ON ATTACK VECTOR.

ORDERS.

BABYLON CONTROL
TO ALL STARFURY SQUADRONS.

STAND BY TO ATTACK.

BUT DO NOT, REPEAT,
DO NOT INITIATE COMBAT.

LET THEM FIRE FIRST.

WE WON'T START THIS FIGHT,

BUT, BY GOD,
WE'LL FINISH IT.

FORCES CLOSING.

ENTERING
FIRING RANGE.

CLOSE BLAST DOORS,
AND ACTIVATE DEFENSE GRID.

STAND BY.

DON'T BE A FOOL, SMITH.

YOU'VE GOT TO SEE
THESE ARE ILLEGAL ORDERS.

DON'T MAKE US DO THIS.

ENEMY FIGHTERS
HAVE LOCKED ON.

FIRING.

ALPHA SQUADRON,
FORM UP ON MY WING.

DELTA SQUADRON,
PUNCH US A HOLE
THROUGH THERE.

ENEMY FIGHTERS
TRYING TO OUTFLANK US.

RESET FORWARD INTERCEPTORS

FOR LONG-RANGE
DISPERSION FIRE.

READY.

FIRE!

MAINTAIN APPROACH!

DIRECT HIT
TO DECKS 14 AND 15.

HULL INTEGRITY
DOWN 20%.

BRING US CLOSER
TO THE ENEMY.

HOW CLOSE?

RIGHT DOWN
THEIR THROATS.

BREACHING POD
COMING IN.

WHERE'S IT GOING?

HULL AREA, BROWN 95.

GARIBALDI...

I HEARD.
WE'RE IN THE AREA.

ON OUR WAY.
MOVE! MOVE!

WE GOT TO CUT THEM OFF
BEFORE THEY
HIT OPEN GROUND.

ALRIGHT,
TAKE UP POSITION.

DOWN.

CUT THEM OFF RIGHT HERE.

AW, NUTS!

LET'S GO!

COME ON, COME ON, COME ON!

THREE ENEMY FURIES
LOCKING ON.

HANG ON.

GIVE ME
A TARGETING SOLUTION

ON THE ROANOKE,

AND STAND BY TO REDIRECT
ALL DEFENSIVE FIRE.

HANG TIGHT.
COMING AROUND
FOR ANOTHER RUN.

COMMANDER,
THE CHURCHILL.

HIROSHI, GET OF THERE.

GET TO THE LIFE PODS.

TOO LATE. PRIMARY SYSTEMS ARE HIT.

WE'VE GOT FIRE ON ALL DECKS NOW.

THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO EXCEPT...

HIROSHI?

HIROSHI!

IVANOVA, EJECT.

I CAN HANDLE IT.

EJECT, DAMN IT!

EJECT!

WE'RE IN RANGE.

FIRE!

BABYLON CONTROL
TO ROANOKE.

YOUR SHIP IS
OUT OF CONTROL.

SURRENDER, AND LET US
TAKE ON PRISONERS.

WE PROMISE SAFE PASSAGE TO--

DAMAGE REPORT.

DAMAGE
TO ALL SECTORS.

THEY'RE
STILL FIGHTING
IN BROWN SECTOR.

GET SOME MORE TROOPS
DOWN THERE.

HULL INTEGRITY?

NOT GOOD.

E.V.A. TEAMS
EN ROUTE.

GOOD THING
THIS STOPPED.

WE COULDN'T TAKE
MUCH MORE.

OH, NO.

CAPTAIN.

JUMP POINTS FORMING
RIGHT ON TOP OF US.

HOW MANY?

FOUR.

THIS IS AMBASSADOR DELENN
OF THE MINBARI.

BABYLON 5 IS UNDER
OUR PROTECTION.

WITHDRAW...

OR BE DESTROYED.

ONLY ONE HUMAN CAPTAIN

HAS EVER SURVIVED BATTLE
WITH A MINBARI FLEET.

HE IS BEHIND ME.

YOU ARE IN FRONT OF ME.

IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIVES,

BE SOMEWHERE ELSE.

ALL SHIPS...

RETURN TO BASE.

ALRIGHT, NOW,
TAKE IT EASY, CHIEF.

JUST TAKE IT EASY.

PUT YOUR WEIGHT ON ME.

SLOW DOWN.

HOW MANY FIGHTERS
DID YOU LOSE?

TOO MANY.

30% OF OUR STARFURIES
ARE DESTROYED OR DISABLED.

WE WON'T BE GETTING
ANY MORE FOR A LONG TIME.

WHY?

WHEN THE CHURCHILL
WAS DESTROYED,

WE TOOK ON AS MANY
OF HER PILOTS
AS WE COULD.

WE CAN'T HOLD
MANY MORE.

YOU COULD GIVE THEM
A HOME HERE

AND BRING YOUR
FIGHTER SQUADRONS
UP TO FULL STRENGTH.

CAPTAIN HIROSHI
WOULD'VE WANTED THAT.

I DIDN'T KNOW HER
VERY WELL,

BUT I'D BE HONORED
TO TAKE CARE OF HER CREW.

YEAH.

YOU WANTED TO BE NOTIFIED

WHEN AMBASSADOR DELENN CAME ABOARD.

THANK YOU. I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

WHEN DO YOU HAVE TO JUMP?

SOON AS I GET BACK
TO THE SHIP.

WE'RE BOTH
TARGETS NOW.

IF WE SPLIT UP,
IT'LL GIVE THEM
LESS INCENTIVE

TO CONCENTRATE
THEIR FIRE HERE.

THERE ARE STILL
SOME SHIPS OUT THERE

WHO'VE SIGNED ON
WITH US.

WE HAVE TO
FIND THEM.

YOUR PEOPLE
PERFORMED SUPERBLY.
YOU SHOULD BE PROUD.

I AM.

PROUD OF WHAT WE DID,

BUT NOT THE REASON
WE HAD TO DO IT.

GOOD LUCK. I DON'T KNOW
HOW LONG WE CAN HOLD THE FORT,

BUT AS LONG AS WE CAN,
YOU'RE WELCOME HERE.

THANK YOU.

I THINK YOU'RE
FORGETTING SOMETHING.

NO. NO, I'M NOT.

AFTER WHAT
HAPPENED TODAY,

I DON'T THINK
I CAN WEAR THAT
FOR A WHILE.

NOT WITH
A CLEAR CONSCIENCE.

NO, WHEN THIS IS
ALL OVER,

I'LL PUT IT
ON AGAIN,

BUT NOT BEFORE.

I DIDN'T EXPECT
TO SEE YOU HERE.

HOW'S THE LEG?

DOC SAYS IT'LL HEAL.

EVENTUALLY.

HE'S STILL
CHECKING OUT IVANOVA,

BUT SHE'LL BE OUT SOON.

FIGURED I BETTER BE HERE

TO LET YOU KNOW
WE STARTED SHIPPING
PEOPLE OUT--

THE ONES
THAT WANT TO GO

AND THE ONES
WE'RE GETTING RID OF.

NIGHTWATCH, MAINLY.

WE GOT THE ONES
WE KNOW ABOUT.

THAT LEAVES
THE ONES WE DON'T.

WE'LL HAVE A PROBLEM
WITH SABOTAGE FOR A WHILE.

ALMOST CERTAINLY.

HELLO, JOHN.

DELENN.

UH...

LISTEN, I'VE BEEN TRYING
TO THINK OF SOME WAY

TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH
WHAT YOU DID

MEANS TO ME,
AND, UH, WELL...

"THANK YOU" SEEMS
POOR AND INADEQUATE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH
THIS COST YOU PERSONALLY,

AND I SUSPECT
I NEVER WILL,

BUT I WANT YOU
TO KNOW THAT...

SEEING YOUR FACE
AT THAT MOMENT

WAS PROBABLY
THE SINGLE FINEST
MOMENT IN MY LIFE.

IT SEEMS THAT THIS
IS THE ONLY HOME

WE HAVE LEFT.

HOW COULD I ABANDON,
AS YOU SAY,

MY PARTNER?

AHEM!

OH, THERE YOU ARE.

SO HOW IS SHE,
DOC?

WE HAVE
A STUBBORN PATIENT

WITH MULTIPLE BRUISES,
A FRACTURED RIB,

AND A BUMP ON
THE BACK OF THE HEAD

THAT YOU WON'T BELIEVE.

I'M FINE.

I JUST THOUGHT
THERE'S SOMETHING
YOU SHOULD SEE.
