Please. If I can just..

- If I can just finish!
- 'No!'

We have before us
an opportunity

to strike at our mutual enemy,
The Shadows.

If our information is correct

this could be
the biggest engagement

of the war to date.

We do not know how many
of their ships will be involved

so our only chance is to have
as many as possible on our side.

We need all of you
to cooperate.

If you wish cooperation
then why do you not tell us

what the mission is?

- Right!
- I agree with you.

If we discuss this openly

there is every chance that the
enemy will learn of our plans.

You must trust us.

How can we trust you
when you will not trust us?

Because so far we have kept
every promise we've made.

We told you that telepaths

could be used to slow
the advance of the Shadows.

We supplied you with telepaths
if you didn't have your own.

We have saved the lives
of many of your people.

If we haven't earned your trust
by now...then please go.

'Nothing more will be
required of you.'

Ambassador Delenn, if we give
you all the ships you ask for

it will weaken our defenses
around homeworld.

I know it's a risk,
but it's necessary.

The ships will gather
in a holding area in hyperspace

approximately two hours
from their final destination.

They will stand by
until the signal is given.

Then, and only then, will their
destination be revealed.

And what will youbring
to this engagement?

As many Minbari cruisers
as can be spared.

And some additional forces
you have not yet seen.

Let us know when you've
finished your deliberations.

But do not take too long.

Our time is short

and growing shorter.

'So we don't have
a lot of time.'

The Shadows have been driving
refugees and support ships

into Sector 83
for two months now.

My guess is when
enough of these ships

are gathered at one place

the enemy will hit them
and hit them hard.

Which would demoralize
all sides.

'Exactly.'

The number of refugees
escaping into Sector 83

has dropped off considerably
for the past few days.

So they may strike
anytime now.

That anytime now
could be today, tomorrow

a few days from now.

If we wait until we hear
about an attack

it'll be too late
to strike back.

They'll be long gone
by the time we get there.

Hmm. Delenn is working
out that part right now.

We'll have
as many ships as we can

standing by in hyperspace.

But for this to work..

...we have to know
the second the enemy shows up.

That means
having an advance scout

on patrol in that area.
One ship.

Any more would draw attention

and they might
change their plans.

And that ship?

That would be us?

'Correct.'

You are to enter Sector 83
and maintain radio silence

until the enemy
comes out of hyperspace.

Now, they may come out
all at once

or in small groups.

Either way,
as soon as you see them

notify the fleet
and get the hell out of there.

You are not, repeat,
not to engage their forces

unless fired upon first.

Now, if that should happen,
do what you have to do

but get out fast.

Understood.

Anything else?

'Yes.'

We've all seen how fast
those ships can move.

If they see you
before you can escape..

'...you'll take the White Star.'

'It's the fastest ship
we've got.'

You'll need it.

'Cause even
if everything goes right

our best guess is
you've only got a 50-50 chance

of getting back alive.

The Babylon project was our
last best hope for peace.

It failed.

But in the year
of the Shadow War

it became something greater

our last best hope
for victory.

The year is 2260.

The place Babylon 5.

The others have gone to speak
with their governments.

They have authorized me
to speak in their place.

You will have all the ships
we can spare, Delenn.

I only hope
that you are right

because it will cost us
greatly if you are wrong.

I've got Commander Ivanova
on channel 4.

Put her through.

'We're ready to go, captain.'

Any last minute instructions?

Aside from an old
Egyptian blessing

I can't think of a thing.

Then we'll see you
when we see you.

- Full ahead.
- Fayzen shok.

An old Egyptian blessing?

"May God stand
between you and harm.

In all the empty places
where you must walk."

Hey, chief.
I'm gonna get some lunch.

- You wanna come along?
- No.

I gotta get back to the office.

You sure? I can bring you back
something. Some small sandwich--

No, thanks. I'm fine.

Anything wrong, chief?

I don't know. Have you seen

or heard anything
about Stephen lately?

Dr. Franklin? No, not in five,
maybe, six days.

He's still out on that,
uh, what do you call it?

- Walkabout.
- Oh, yeah. Right. Ha ha.

He told one of the guys

that he's got to keep walking
until he meets himself.

Kind of weird, but around here,
what isn't?

Yeah. You know,
I've just be thinking.

He shouldn't be doing this.

He shouldn't
have to be doing this.

I-I feel like, I screwed up.

Hey, come on, chief.

It's not your fault.
I heard what happened.

You offered to help,
he walked away.

Yeah, I know, the thing is

sometimes people walk away
because they wanna be alone.

Sometimes they walk away
because they wanna see

if you care enough
to follow them into hell.

I think I went the wrong way.

Look, he's got to get his head
screwed on straight.

You can't do that for him.

Ah, you're right, it's just..

...uh, I've had my own problems.

I've been where he is. I..

I've walked away from
a lot of things in my life.

I just hope he can
find his way back again.

'Now, according
to the station map'

'this is Downbelow.
Stay close, Jessie.'

'Well, I don't understand.'

It says here,
this is a marketplace.

Well, I don't see much
I'd want in myhouse.

You'd think they could take
better care of the place.

Don't stray, Jessie.

Uh, it says
this is the kind of place

to mind your purse
and your wallet.

Well, I heard all this

is because of their
so called revolution.

Breaking away from Earth like
that. What were they thinking?

Well, Barbara, we do have
homeless back home.

Shh!

'James Cooper,
I've told you before'

'not to contradict me
in front of Jessie.'

'It's not good for her.'

President Clark
says that people like this

are the result
of social problems

'not economic problems.'

'They've fixed the economy,
and that's good enough for me.'

You know, ever since you came
back from your mother's

'it's been the same thing.'

'But she reads a lot, and--'

'Oh, she reads trash,
just like you do sometimes.'

Jessie!

I told you to stay away
from strange people.

'You don't know where he's been.
Now, come on.'

Marcus.

- Marcus!
- What?

- I'm awake.
- It's your watch.

Right. I knew that.
I was just resting my eyes.

Nascen fek.

- 'Si dromo.'
- What was that?

I told the computer
to run another check

on the weapons systems

just to be sure they're ready.

You seem pretty fluent
in Minbari.

You can't finish your training

until you can speak
and think in their language.

I am surprised.

When they were training
the rangers

I figured
they'd emphasize infiltration

and combat techniques.
Not language skills.

For them it's all
the same thing.

I could teach you, if you like.

No. I don't have the time.

It would take me a year.

And assuming we survive this

how old will you be in a year

if you don't learn
to speak Minbari?

- The same.
- 'Exactly.'

And what does that mean?

It's...just a greeting.

It means..

...my words are inadequate
to the burden of my heart.

Well, that's
an unusual greeting.

Well, they're an unusual people.

- Well..
- I'll wake you in four hours.

Thanks. I was assuming
I can get any sleep in these.

The captain warned me about
these things but I had no idea.

They're very restful.
Good for the back.

Well, someday I'd like to be
stationed somewhere

with a big
four-poster bed canopy

and maybe a window
with a view of a garden.

I like gardens.

And big four poster beds.

Right. See you in four hours.

Oh.

Ah, that's better.

Come.

'Delenn.'

What's our status?

They're still holding back.

'It will have to do.'

'Getting them was hard enough.'

Keeping them as this drags on..

...that's going to be
really hard.

TheDogatois standing by,
waiting for us.

As soon as we're aboard

they'll join
the rest of the fleet.

I still think
you should stay here.

With Ivanova, Marcus,
and me gone, I mean..

And Garibaldi's up to his ears.

Franklin's still
on walkabout--

John, we've been over this.

I should be there.
With you and with the fleet.

- We're in this together.
- I know.

And...afterward..

...when we've finished
with this..

...we will spend
the night together.

Not like that.

You see, when Minbari become

close as we have become close.

It is tradition that they spend
three nights together.

The male sleeps

and the female watches.

W-watches what?

During the day,
we all put on the face

we think will do us
the most good.

But at a certain point
in your sleep, as you relax

your true face is revealed.

If the female approves
of his true face

she will stay two more nights
and continue to observe.

Mmm. Well, what if she doesn't
like what she sees?

Then they go
their separate ways.

If he insists
she stay one more night

she can leave
when he falls asleep

file a complaint
with the elders

even cut off his, um

his access to her family.

Oh.

Uh..

What if she does

like what she sees?

Later.

History awaits.

'No!'

'Hey, you leave him for me'

'Leave him for me.'

'Get away.
Get the hell away from me.'

- 'Get away from me.'
- 'Get the bag.'

- 'Stop it. No, stop don't.'
- 'Come on.'

- 'Stop it!'
- 'Aw! Man, he bit me.'

'Give me the bag, or I'll cut
your freakin' throat.'

- 'Get away from me!'
- 'No!'

Give me the bag, damn it.

Let it go, or I'm gonna cut
your freakin' throat.

Hey, hey, hey!
Leave him alone.

Huh?

Now, look, if-if there's a
problem, we can handle it

some other way. Aah.

Hey! No!

'Wait! Let-let's talk!'

No! No! Wait, wait. Aah!

What the hell
did you do that for?

You want him getting
into our business?

You're nuts, man, you know that?

Come on, let's get out of here.

- Ha, ha, ha!
- Come on.

Help me.

- I can't.
- Ohh. Help me.

I can't. I was selling.

They'd arrest me, too.

Please help me.

- I'm sorry. I can't.
- Help me.

Help me!

Help! Somebody!

Is anybody, can you hear me?

I, I need help.

Oh, man.

Oh, God.

Oh, this is not good.

Oh.

Ah, finally.

'Ivanova to the bridge.'

- Are they here?
- Not exactly.

But you'd better
take a look at this.

We picked it up
a few minutes ago.

Scanners indicate
it's composed of materials

similar to the Shadow vessels,
but it's much smaller.

'A scout ship?'

'Our opposite number,
sent in to'

'make sure the area's clear'

'before the main Armada
comes in.'

It's close.
Has it seen us yet?

I don't think so. We're not
picking up any transmissions.

Good. Anything else?

Well, yes, you see,
I spotted this

just as we were
about to correct course

to stay in the shadow
of that moon.

Good, don't.

It could read the energy
if we use the engines.

It would be like
sending up a flare.

Yes, but unfortunately, we're
about to move out of eclipse.

And as soon as we're
out in the light..

'Oh, hell.'

- It's seen us.
- Picking up a transmission.

- Looks like a warning signal.
- Jam it. Engines at maximum.

We have to stop it before
it can warn the others.

The other White Star
class ships have been alerted.

They'll meet us
at the other end.

- Good. And the telepaths?
- Safe below decks.

All the other cruisers have at
least one telepath onboard

to help them slow down
the enemy.

I'll go check to make sure.

- Anything yet from Ivanova?
- No.

It probably means the enemy
hasn't appeared yet, but..

They can take care
of themselves.

They'll be fine.

What isthis place?

It's our tactical center.

From here, we can
keep track of the battle.

How? I-I don't see any displays.

You will see
when the time comes.

'Hey.'

'Anybody?'

'Hey!'

Somebody!

Stupid.

Grade A stupid.

Yeah. It wasthat, wasn't it?

Always trying to be the hero.

Never stopping to think first.

Now, now, look
where it's got you. Hmm?

Must be going into shock.

You said you had to keep walking
until you met yourself.

Well? Here I am.

So, if we're gonna talk,
let's talk.

But I don't think you have
a lot of time.

Ohh.

- No damage.
- Keep on his tail.

If he gets out of jamming range,
we've had it.

Standby weapons system,
prepare to fire.

What happens
if he doesn't report in?

I don't know, but I do know
what happens if he gets away.

Let's just hope they're only
supposed to break radio silence

if there was a problem.

Stand by.

Fire!

- It's gonna ram us.
- Hard to port. Fire!

- Damage report.
- Engines hit.

Automatic repair
systems engaged.

It'll take a while, won't it?
Wait a minute.

I'm picking up an energy surge.
Distance, 5,000 kilometers.

Show me!

That's a lot of ships.

That's a bloody awful
lot of ships.

Jump engines, back on line yet?

No. If I signal the fleet,
this lot might pick it up.

If they do
and we can't get away.

Well, who wants
to live forever?

I do, actually.
But what the hell?

Signal away.

- The signal.
- I heard.

Tell the others to follow us in.

I just hope Ivanova
got out in time.

- 'Engines?'
- 'Not yet.'

They're getting closer.

I know, estimate
they're three hours

from this system's
primary target

less than 20 minutes from us.

Uh-huh.

'You know what your problem is?'

All your life

you've run away
from everything.

Home didn't work out.

Wouldn't talk to your father.

So you just...walked away.

'You didn't have the patience
for a long internship back home'

'so you just ran off and started
hitchhiking on starships.'

You didn't want to turn over

your precious notes on Minbari
biology during the war

so you just burned them instead
and walked away again.

You use work to run away
from your personal life

'and stims to run away
from your work.'

'And right now..'

...you are running away

from everything.

Don't you die on me yet.

I'm not through with you.

You finally had it all,
didn't you?

You had a good job.

'People who cared about you
and you messed it up.'

"I have to leave
before they fire me."

"I have to go find myself."

What a bunch of mealy-mouthed

self-indulgent,
foundationist crap.

Take responsibility for your
actions, for crying out loud.

You go in there and you fight
for what matters to you.

Don't just walk away
because it's easier.

- I didn't..
- 'What'd you say?'

Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot.

You're too busy dying,
aren't you?

I guess that's a little bit
more important to you right now.

Well, fine,
you do what you want

because you and I,
we parted ways a longtime ago.

So you go ahead and you die

because I really
don't care anymore.

A little longer, and we'll have
power to engines. We--

Uh-oh.

One of them has picked us up.
Moving to intercept.

Okay, this is it.
Stand by to--

Picking up an energy spike.

They can hear me from here?

Yes.

This is Captain John Sheridan
to attack fleet.

Have your telepaths start
jamming their capital ships.

Fighters...take point.

'They've put escort ships
in front'

'as buffers between our
telepaths and their big ships.'

'Take them out any way you can
and clear the way.'

'Sunhawks
and other medium-class ships'

'provide escort
for our big guns.'

Everyone else..

...break and attack.

'Blood pressure's
dropping fast.'

You should be getting
real cold right about now.

Yeah, that's shock and trauma.

And the rest will follow soon.

You know, so we can
get this over with.

I mean, you weren't that happy
with your life

in the first place, were you?

'This one's hardly been used.'

- I wa-I want..
- 'You want what?'

I mean, what-what do you want?

What could you possibly want?

I-I, I, I want to do it
all again.

Why?
You'd just mess it up again.

You..

'Now, where do you
think you're going?'

I wanna,
I wanna do it again.

I want..

I wanna do it again.

Is that right?

Well, then get up
off the damn floor.

I don't care
how much it hurts.

Don't you go passing out on me

'cause that's just
another kind of running away.

Now, you take responsibility.

Show me that you want it.

Get up off the damn floor.

That's it. Come on.

Come on. Get up
on your own two feet.

Stand up. You stand up.

I wanna do it all over again.

Engines online.

- Damage report!
- Targeting system hit!

Go manual!

They're trying to outflank us.

Carrier groups,
come about and engage.

The Drazi ships are surrounded.

Minbari cruiser and Enfili
pull back. Protect the Drazi.

Ohh!

'Help me!'

Help me. Help me.

I wanna do it again.
Help me.

'Guess I really
screwed up, huh?'

Guess we're all entitled to one.

They'll need
immediate treatment.

'Mostly burns, but there may be
some radiation scarring.'

Take over whatever
space you need.

We've got four more shuttles
with wounded coming through.

I'll accompany them.

I heard about Franklin.
How is he?

Serious but stable.
He lost a lot of blood.

Dr. Hobbs said it's practically

a miracle
he could walk that far.

The knife cut pretty deep into

the muscle tissue on the way in.

So how'd it go out there?

We did okay
not great, but okay.

We turned back their attack,
but we lost a lot of ships.

For every one of
their ships we killed

two of ours were destroyed.

This time we had the advantage.

We knew where they were
going to attack.

Next time,
we won't be so lucky.

Still, it's the first time
we've managed

to bring all
the league worlds together

and organize them
into a fighting force.

That counts for a lot.

So here's the big question.

Now that we've shown them
we can hurt them

how long until they come
knocking at our front door?

That's what worries me.

'It's about time you woke up.'

We were taking bets on when
you were gonna come around.

I want you to know
I've lost 30 credits already.

I guess I'm just
too much of an optimist.

So how do you feel?

Like I was stabbed in the back
and left to die.

How the hell should I feel?

Well, he's back to normal.
As grouchy as ever.

You know, with all this,
I just hope you found

what you were looking for
out there.

I don't know.

Guess I found what I..

...what I needed,
not what I wanted.

Which was?

A short, sharp kick
to the head.

Oh, well, hell,
I could've done that for you.

All you had to do was ask.

Yeah, well, you would've
enjoyed it too much.

So you didn't, uh

meet yourself?

Yeah, I did.

Found out I didn't
like myself, either.

Well, as revelations go,
I guess I've heard worse.

'I'd better let you get
some rest. You need it.'

Oh, one last thing.

I know you had to do this

and I know you learned
a lot by doing it.

But just don't ever
do this to me again.

You were concerned.
I'm touched.

Hell, no.

I just can't afford
to lose another 30 credits.

I've been giving a lot of
thought to Garibaldi's question.

We have done all we can
to keep a low profile.

But the enemy
has just taken a bigloss.

They've got to know
we're responsible.

Now it's only a matter of time
before they come after us.

So the only questions
are how and when.

Perhaps
they're reluctant to try.

Draal has made the great machine

on the planet below
available to our defense.

I suspect his weapons
could stop even a Shadow vessel.

Maybe, but that's
the odd thing about this.

I mean, they could've hit us
at any time

during the last year.
We're a sitting duck.

So what are you saying

they're deliberately
leaving us alone?

It's possible, I mean,
they haven't exactly been

shy about hitting
anybody else around here.

'And if that's true,
the obvious question is why?'

Captain?

Do you know who I am?

Are you okay?

I'm not sure.

Ever since Kosh died

I've been remembering a dream.

Last year, when I was hurt

he got inside my head.
He spoke to me.

Sent me these images.

One of them was you saying,
"Do you know who I am?"

'A week later, you tell me
you're a latent telepath.'

Said you sometimes
don't know who you are.

Is it possible he knew?

I don't see how,
but the image fits.

Do you remember anything else?

No, just fragments.

Oh, at one point

I was wearing
the uniform of a Psi Cop.

Well, we're working
with Bester now

and that was unexpected.

So that tracks.

Anything else?

He sent me an image
of Garibaldi saying..

The man in between
is searching for you.

"The man in between"
he could've meant...Sinclair.

Maybe, but I don't think so.

Somehow it doesn't feel right.

The last thing was you,
dressed all in black

as if for a funeral. You said..

"You are the hand."

"You are the hand?"

What the hell
is that supposed to mean?

Why would I say anything
as dopey-sounding as that?

I don't know.

But if Kosh sent it,
it must've meant something.

Odd that he would use
that image, though.

Why?

Well, you have
two hands, do you not?

Each equal and opposite.

So you're saying
that the man in between

is your equal and opposite?

Maybe.

Well, if that's what it is

then the man in between
knows who you are

now that we've kicked him hard
and where it hurts.

Assuming it means anything.

Signs, portents, dreams.

Next we'll be reading tea leaves
and chicken entrails.

All we do know
is that we are vulnerable now.

I want squadrons on flyby
at all times.

'We should expect something'

'to be coming our way
sooner or later.'

And the way our luck works,
it'll probably be sooner.

'Alright, we're still short on
Minbari blood, type R-negative.'

Nadia, I want you to check
with Ambassador Delenn

see if you can organize
some more blood donors.

The synthetics
aren't cutting it.

Now the rest of you,
we've got trauma cases

overloading Medlabs
two and five.

I want you to get down
there see if you can move

some of the
noncritical patients

into other quarters
on a temporary basis.

Take over the rotunda and
the sanctuary if you have to.

Now go on.

They told me you wouldn't be
up and about for a while.

Well, I'm not.

I won't be for a few days.

Legs are still a little wobbly.

I can only stand
for a few minutes

but, uh, I don't need
to stand to talk, to advise

and generally make
a pain in the ass of myself.

'They know
it's unofficial, but..'

...they can use
all the help they can get.

That's why I came down
to see you, Stephen.

Your job is waiting for you

if you want it.

Sure you wanna do this?

If you're sure
you wanna take it.

I want it.

I think now I can do better.

I mean, that was the problem.

The stims, they..

...they let me do more

but what I needed
was to do better.

I wish you'd come,
talked to me

before you made
your decision to resign.

I was running away.

Same as I've always done.

I didn't wanna face
how I'd feel if you fired me

so I just quit.

You had to find your own way.

I ran away.

I realized
that I always defined myself

in terms of what I wasn't.

I wasn't a good soldier
like my father.

I wasn't the job. I, uh..

I wasn't a good prospect
for marriage or kids.

Always what I wasn't

never what I was.

And when you do that,
you miss the moments.

And the moments
are all we've got.

When I thought
I was gonna die

even after everything
that's happened..

...I realized
I didn't wanna let go.

I was willing
to do it all over again.

And this time, I could
appreciate the moments.

I-I-I can't go back.

But I can appreciate
what I have right now.

And I can define myself
by what I am

instead of what I'm not.

And what are you?

Alive.

Everything else is negotiable.

Sheridan, go.

'Captain, I have a message'

'from Ambassador Delenn.'

'She says she awaits
your pleasure.'

Tell her I'll be right there.

Well, it's getting late

and you better get some rest.

Don't worry. I intend to.

It's good
to have you back, Stephen.

Thank you.

It's good to be back.

Goodnight.

Now where on Earth
did you learn

to hold a cauterizer like that?

Let me show you how to do this.
