We can confirm now

that President Clark
took his own life

at 2:53 a.m. EST

'rather than face trial
for his actions.'

'The body has been left
in place for examination'

'and documentation
by the Justice Department.'

'After the battle,
Sheridan surrendered

'to Earthforce authorities
who will now decide'

whether or not
charges will be pressed'

'for his actions taken during
and preceding the battle.'

'Despite Sheridan's current
high standing'

'in public-opinion polls'

'his decision to act
against his fellow officers'

'must be explained
and justified.'

In an impromptu
press conference this morning

acting president,
Susanna Luchenko

of the Russian Consortium

urged the public to remain calm.

We realize..
that many of you want revenge

against those who caused

such great pain and suffering.

We ask that you listen

to the better angels
of your nature.

Give the courts
and the legal system time

to locate and prosecute
those responsible.

Only a sane and careful study
of the facts

will allow us to separate those
who were willing partners

in President Clark's
reign of terror

from those who cooperated
only in fear of their lives.

Our thoughts especially go out

to Sheridan's second-in-command,
Susan Ivanova

critically injured
when Clark's forces

attempted to ambush
the multi-planetary fleet.

'The prayers of a grateful Earth
go out to her.'

Faster.

We've got to go faster!

It was the year of fire.

The year of destruction.

The year we took back
what was ours.

It was the year of rebirth.

The year of great sadness.

The year of pain.

And a year of joy.

It was a new age.

It was the end of history.

It was the year
everything changed.

The year is 2261. The place..

Babylon 5.

- 'How's she doing?'
- 'It's not critical.'

The treatment seems to have
worked.

What about Marcus?

When we found him, he was
in complete metabolic shutdown

heartbeat, brain activity

the machine had completely
drained his life energy

and transferred it
to Commander Ivanova.

- Is she stable?
- After a fashion.

Woah, woah.
Woah, you can't go in there.

- It's alright.
- I'm sorry, doctor.

I said, go away!

Susan, it's me.

You okay?

Damn it, Stephen, why the hell
did he have to do it?

I didn't want him to. I never..

I never would have
asked him to.

I know.

And how the hell did he
find out about that machine?

Look, after we gained custody
of the alien healing device

Sheridan and I decided
that it was just too dangerous

to let others know about it,
so I coded all my log entries.

He must have hacked
his way through

half a dozen security overrides.

It's typical.

He was always pulling
crap like that.

Even I never knew
what to do with him.

He was the most undisciplined,
the most...annoying..

I was just lying there,
and I was..

...feeling myself
letting go of my body.

And I remember the last thing
that I thought was..

...I'm going to die now.

'It wasn't so bad.'

And then, I heard this voice
coming from far away saying..

"I love you."

And I thought...is this God?

Is this God? I mean..

He really did have
an English accent

just like in all those
old movies.

And then I felt myself being
pulled down, and I got heavy

so heavy, you know,
tired and it was..

Forced my eyes open..

...and there he was next to me.

And we were hooked
into that damnmachine and I..

I tried to pull it apart,
Stephen.

I swear to God,
I tried, I just..

I couldn't even move,
I couldn't move.

Look, there was nothing
that you could do. Alright?

Your system was traumatized.
You can't blame yourself.

I don't, I don't,
I don't. I just..

You know, all my life,
I've had..

I've had problems
with relationships.

You may have noticed.

A little.

You know,
the ones that I loved..

...always ended up hurting me..

...or leaving me.

And the ones who stayed..

...they had nothing inside.

No depth.

After a while, I just..

...decided to forget about it.

And...here was Marcus.

I knew he'd never hurt me.

And I knew he'd never leave me.

And I knew he loved me.

I knew it. I..

I just didn't want to admit it.

And he gave so much and
he wanted so little in return.

He just wanted a kind word or,
or a smile

and all I ever gave him
in two years was...grief.

And it's because..

...I think I saw what I wanted.

And I was afraid.

I thought you knew
it wasn't gonna work out.

You were just protecting
yourself from being hurt again.

That's all.

Maybe but..

Maybe I should have
just tried one more time.

I could've done that for him.

Now, I can't.

At least I should have
boffed him, just once.

"Boffed?"

Did you just say "boffed?"

It's the type of thing
he would have said.

I mean, hell, it's not like
I was doing anything else.

Well, I guess that's one way

to deal with
unrequited love, huh?

All love is unrequited, Stephen.

All of it.

- You're late.
- No, no, no. You're early.

I'm never premature.

Oh, well, thatis a surprise,
given what I've heard.

I'm sure it's a matter
of perspective, really

but for a Narn,
two minutes must be a long time.

So if you go the duration,
it's an accomplishment.

But for the Centauri,
hours can go by

before you even get
to the good parts.

'Londo.'

- You're late.
- You're late.

I'm-I'm sorry, I'm...sorry. I..

I, it was just that, uh..

You know, th-this is
a matter of state business.

I think we should, uh..

Uh..

Oh, yes, yes, of course.

Uh, G'Kar, go on ahead.

We'll join you shortly.

Oh, G'Kar, when we
are en route to Earth

I will give you some ideas
how to deal with your

little, uh, problem.

- What problem?
- Oh, no, it's nothing.

We are developing a very
strange relationship, I think.

At times, I find I...
I rather enjoy it.

It doesn't matter.
What is it, Vir?

I received a message
from Homeworld

just before I came here.

The regent is ill.
They want you to come home.

What can I do?
I am not a doctor.

It's much more than that, Londo.

They say the regent
will leave us

early in the coming year.

When that happens,
the Royal Court has decided

that we need your voice
to guide us.

You're going to be emperor,
Londo.

'Isn't that wonderful?'

- Yes, Vir, wonderful news.
- 'Londo, I thought you..'

Come, we really should hurry.

Otherwise we'll have to put up
with a cranky Narn

all the way to Earth.

'Hello, captain.'

'I hope you don't mind
my stopping by to visit.'

I told the staff
we were such good friends

like Holmes and Watson,
Rebo and Zooty.

Fire and water,
snake and mongoose.

This will let us speak privately
for a few minutes

before they decide it's more
than ordinary interference.

You never come at anyone
straight out do you, Mr. Bester?

Mr. Garibaldi told me
what you did to him.

Used him to uncover
a plot against the Psi Corps.

Well, I'm sure
Mr. Garibaldi believes

I'm responsible
for a lot of things.

Like the murder
of William Edgars.

So tell me..

...what happened to those vials
that were stolen from his safe?

You know, the ones with
the anti-telepath virus.

I don't know
what you're talking about.

But if there were such a thing..

...steps would be taken
to destroy the virus

but we'd keep
the antidote around

just in case someone else
came up with it.

What about his wife, Lise?

I have no information about her.

She's no longer
any concern of mine.

As for the rest..

...it's Mr. Garibaldi's word
against mine.

Unless you'd like
to bring in a telepath

to scan him, prove that
what he's saying is true.

Of course, to be admissible
in an Earth court

the teep would have to be
a member of the Psi Corps.

You really think you've
got it all covered, don't you?

Almost.

Except for one thing.

I want to know..

....if my lover..

...was one of the telepaths
you used

to disable the fleet
in your little war.

Because if she was..

...and if she was killed
because of it..

...you have to understand..

...that you will not leave
this room alive.

I find it amazing that you think

that threats
still mean anything to me.

Do this, or you're a dead man?

Death, been there, done that.

Not a threat, captain,
simply a statement of fact.

I can have half
a dozen sharpshooters

cover this building
at every exit.

As soon as you poke
your head outside

'they'll put a bullet
through it.'

You know what the difference is
between you and me, Bester?

You use people
because you like it.

And if someone gets hurt in
the process, well, that's life.

Using telepaths to..

...take over ships
from the other side

was the hardest decision
I ever made.

I had Franklin
go through their files

pick out the ones
that were single

no families, who were
almost certainly incurable.

Carolyn is single.

She has no family.

The only thing we ever had
was each other.

I know.

I know what it's like
to lose someone

only to find her,
then lose her a second time.

I wouldn't wish that on anyone,
not even you

as much as I might want to.

Now, we selected 30 telepaths
for that job, 30 out of 100.

Carolyn's still back
at Babylon 5.

She'll be transferred here
as soon as things settle down.

Thank you.

Oh, don't thank me yet.

We're not done.

'See, I know you.'

Even with Clark gone you'll
keep moving your telepaths

into positions of power.

And then when the time is right

you'll try and take over
the government.

You're delusional, captain.

Oh, you'll wait a few years
until things quiet down.

And then you'll start a war

between the telepaths
and normals.

And in the end, Mr. Bester,
you will lose.

We'll see.

Assuming you make it that far.

See, Mr. Garibaldi
is finishing up

some personal business on Mars.

Once it's done, I imagine

he'll turn his attention to you.

And to tell you
the God's honest truth..

...I'd rather face those
sharpshooters of yours

than what he'll do
when he finds you.

I don't know
exactly how he plans

to settle the score, but I..

I'm sure it'll be
creative, colorful

and extremely unpleasant.

- Where is she?
- I'm telling you, man.

I don't know
what you're talking about.

No? Then maybe I'm just gonna
have to explain it to you again.

Now, her name's Lise Hampton.

She was married to one
of the richest guys on Mars.

She got into trouble,
didn't know where to turn.

I hear she went to
the Mars mafia

tried to bribe her way
off the planet.

Only she didn't make it,
now the way I figured is

they got a little greedy,
decided to figure out

how they could hang on to her
until they could exchange her

for a couple of million credits.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Really? You're the best black
market accountant on Mars, Max.

If somebody wanted to launder
some money

so it couldn't be traced,
they'd come to you.

- I-I can't--
- Give me a name, Max!

You give me a name, and I'll
let you walk out of here

with your spine in one piece.

They'll kill me.

Well, then you better decide
what you prefer.

Now, do you want to die fast..

...or do you want to spend
the rest of your life

eating all your meals
through a straw?

- Hello, Delenn.
- Ambassador.

I suppose I should say emperor,
but you..

You have heard that already?

I've just found out myself.

There is little that
doesn't reach me these days.

G'Kar, Londo, please sit.

Have you heard from Sheridan?

Not since he turned himself over
to his people.

The other ambassadors from
the League of Non-Aligned Worlds

will be here shortly.

But I wanted you to be
the first to see this.

Obviously, we will need
your support.

Your governments have
considerable influence

with the League Worlds.

Are you sure you want
to do this, Delenn?

Yes, I think it's the only way.

I see nothing amusing
in this situation, Londo.

No, no, you-you're right.
There isn't. It's just that..

I'm so rarely in the presence
of living history.

It, it thins the atmosphere,
makes you giddy.

You realize that
you are quite mad

for even considering this, hm?

Perhaps.

Please, come in.

Yes, do please, come in.

Delenn has a fascinating
proposal for you all.

I hope you have brought
a change of underwear.

You will need it
after you read this.

Captain.

General, I am tired
of just sitting here.

Now, if you're going to press
charges, please do so.

We've finished
our deliberations.

The president's waiting outside.

She'd like to speak to you

assuming you have
nowhere else to go.

No, no, uh, please.

'Ten-hut.'

As you were.

Well, captain,
you caused quite a stir.

Half of Earthforce wants
to give you a kiss on the cheek

and the medal of honor.

The other half wants you
taken out and shot.

As a politician,
you learn how to compromise

which by all rights means

I should give you
the medal of honor

then have you shot.

I confess the idea
had a certain appeal

when I mentioned it to the joint
chiefs a few hours ago.

- Sit, please.
- Yes, ma'am.

I'll give it to you
straight, captain.

President Clark
was out of control.

Many of us wanted
to move against him

but the time was never right.

With all due respect, ma'am..

While you were waiting,
innocent civilians were dying.

There were issues of
planetary security to consider.

To look weak or disorganized
would be to invite an invasion.

We couldn't take that risk.

His people were everywhere.

He would have known instantly
if we were up to something.

Ironically, by breaking away

you were the only one
who could move against him

without his knowing
what you were up to.

'That's why he was
obsessed with you.'

Babylon 5
was outside his control.

So, yes, you saved some lives.

I'm not here to argue
ethics with you, captain.

Right or wrong

you led an insurrection
against your own government.

That's mutiny at best..

...treason at worst.

So, morally, I was right

but politically,
I'm inconvenient.

Inconvenient doesn't even
begin to cover it.

Now we have to
clean up the mess.

We can do that with
or without your help.

What do you want me to do?

I've scheduled a press
conference for tomorrow morning.

I want you to there.

The event wil be covered
in ISN.

'You will explain
that you did what you did'

for the good of Earth

but your conscience
does not permit you

to remain in Earthforce
any longer.

'You'll tender
your immediate resignation'

'and I'll see to it'

'you will retain your military
pension with full honors.'

And I'll guarantee amnesty
for your officers and crew

who served under you
during this crisis.

But I want you gone.

And if I refuse?

You'll be
dishonorably discharged

court-martialed
and brought to trial.

Same for Ivanova
and the rest of your staff.

And I'll make sure
that the military tribunal

is stacked with generals
from the Shoot Him category.

Don't make the mistake
of assuming that

this is a conversation.

It isn't.

You have no other options.

The bitch of it is, that you
probably did the right thing.

But you did it in the wrong way.

In the inconvenient way.

Now you have to pay
the penalty for that.

I know it stinks..

...but that's the way
it is, hmm.

So, you tell me..

...which way do you want it?

Will you put the amnesty
for my crew in writing?

Then I'll resign.

It's about time.

Get in here.

- Did you tell him we got her?
- Yeah, yea, yeah.

So how much is it worth to them

to get her back alive
before I have..

'What's going on over there?'

What the hell is that thing?
Bring it on over here.

'Th-th-th-that's all, folks.'

What the..

Lise.

Lise. Lise.

Lise. Lise, where are you?

'Here! I'm in here!'

Lise, back away from the door.

Oh, baby, come on.
Are you alright?

Okay, I'm okay.

I knew you'd come
for me, Michael.

Come on, we got to get
out of here. Come on.

We're entering Earth's space,
Delenn.

Delenn?

It is done, Lennier.

The others have voted
on our proposal.

When we are finished..

...they will talk about this day
for 100 years.

I only wish.

I wish Marcus
could be here to see it.

I will confess that

I got used to seeing him
walking on the path beside us.

He was...a part of us.

But as long as
we speak his name

he will always be a part of us.

He followed the path
of his heart.

How many of us can say that?

His life before he came to
the Rangers was not a happy one.

He blamed himself for the death
of his brother, so many others.

Perhaps..

Perhaps, saving Ivanova

was the only way
he could find peace.

Delenn..

...did they tell you
what Ivanova said at the end?

"All love is unrequited."

Yes, they told me.

She's wrong, of course.

Of course.

'Continuing our coverage
of breaking events'

'in the fall
of President Clark's regime'

'we go now to the presidential
suite in Earth Dome.'

Fellow citizens of Earth..

...honored guests.

I have come before you today
to commemorate those

who have taken part
in this recent struggle.

Who fought as they believed

they had to fight.

Their choice was
an unenviable one.

Follow the orders
of your superior officer

in acts that violate
your conscience..

...or rise up in opposition.

'Both sides have risked much'

and suffered greatly

but in the end

the battle they fought
was the same.

To protect
and preserve an Earth

they could proudly call home.

Caught in the center
of this particular whirlwind

was a man of great integrity

honor and courage.

But his task was
a difficult one.

But he executed it
with care to preserve

'the lives
of his fellow officers.'

Despite what you may have heard

in his heart, he never left us.

I give you
Captain John J. Sheridan.

Thank you, Madam President.

As a young man..

...I joined Earthforce because

I wanted to be part of
something bigger than I was.

Something that
I could believe in.

And that belief carried me
through the Mars Riots

the Minbari War..

...and the battles that have
brought us here today.

Everything I did

I did out of love of Earth
and love of duty.

But what happens when those two
are no longer the same thing?

Now, the time
I spent on Babylon 5

I learned about choices

and consequences
and responsibility.

'I learned that
we all have choices'

even when we
don't recognize them

and that those choices
have consequences

not just for ourselves,
but for others.

'And we must assume
responsibility'

'for those consequences.'

I and my fellow officers..

...had to choose between
what we were told was right..

...and what
we believed was right.

And now I take
full responsibility

for those decisions.

I love Earth.

And now for my love of Earth

I find I must walk away
from my love of duty.

My presence would be a constant
reminder of what has divided us

instead of that
which brings us together.

And for that reason..

...and President Luchenko's
generous offer of amnesty

for all those
who served under me..

...I'm announcing my resignation
from Earthforce.

I do this in the hope that

those who fought on both sides

will put aside
their disagreements..

...and come together
in a new spirit of cooperation.

For we are all children
of Earth.

Thank you.

To commemorate
this very special day

the League of Non-Aligned Worlds

asked to address this gathering.

Ambassador.

For many years..

...all of us here have prized
our good relations with Earth.

You have shown
through your example

that strength comes
from a multitude of voices

brought together
in common cause.

Humans form communities.

In that spirit,
we have voted to dissolve

the League of Non-Aligned Worlds

and create a new alliance..

...based on mutual cooperation

and respect.

An alliance born in the diverse
voices of many worlds

joined by their desire
to build a better future..

...and their decision

to voluntarily recognize
a common authority.

Ambassador.

This new alliance will help
less-advanced worlds

improve their conditions.

It will encourage better
relations between our races

and promote free trade.

Above all,
it will work to create peace.

Central to this process is
a group of humans and Minbari

trained to work together

and dedicated to
the higher principles of duty

honor and peace.

They have been entrusted with
the most advanced fleet of ships

in existence now that
the first ones have left us.

Among my people

they are called the Anla'Shok.

Among your people

they are called the Rangers.

They come in peace

and will stay only
where they are invited to stay.

They will help protect you
from raiders

and invasion by other races.

They will work
with your military

to strengthen your borders.

But understand that they
will do so equally and fairly.

If you are planning
a war of aggression

against your neighbors,
the Rangers will hear about it

and so will your neighbors.

If other worlds in the alliance
choose to intervene

on behalf of those
being attacked

the Rangers will provide
the information

but will not intervene directly.

Their goal
is to create the peace

not enforce the peace.

'This is a political
and economic alliance'

not one based
on military strength.

The gains you will achieve

by working peacefully
with other races

far outweigh anything
you might achieve by force.

The alliance recognizes
your sovereign right

to govern your own people
by your own will.

But membership
in the alliance means that

you will honor a code of conduct

in your relations
with other worlds

or risk losing all the things
we stand to give you.

Finally, each member race
will be able

to contribute volunteers
to join the Rangers

thereby assuring their
independence and fairness.

All of us have agreed

to recognize the independent
authority of the Rangers.

Madam President, honored guests

I now invite you
to join the new alliance.

You may decline,
if that is your wish.

We will leave in peace
and honor your decision.

If you accept..

...we believe
it will signal a new age

of peace and prosperity.

The invitation to join
your new alliance

is tempting, ambassador.

But many of our generals
are skeptical

about your claims to neutrality.

I fully understand,
Madam President.

No one in this room
is more suspicious

of these things than I am.

No race more prideful
than the Centauri.

But we are tired of war

and believe that this will help
to create peace between us.

Peace is a concept.

If I'm going to sell this
to my generals and the public

I'm going to need something
a little more tangible.

Then you will have it.

In the past we have kept

many of our technological
advances to ourselves.

In a gesture of good faith

we will show you
how to use energy fields

to create gravity in your ships

eliminating the need
to manufacture slower

less-efficient ships
that rotate to create gravity.

As a space-faring race dependent
upon trade with other worlds

I'm sure you see
the advantage in this.

It's tempting.

If..

If we decide to pursue this..

...who should we negotiate with?

- You?
- No.

The three of us

make up the advisory board
of the new alliance.

We have a duly
elected president, as you do.

And where can
I find this president?

- 'You!'
- Funny thing about retiring..

You no sooner
pick out the places

you wanna go on vacation

then someone comes at you
with another job offer.

Where's the certificate
of amnesty?

Oh, that, um, I gave copies
of that to the reporters outside

and the original
is someplace safe.

You knew this was coming
the whole time, didn't you?

The main thing was to protect
my crew from retaliation.

As for the new job, well..

I was hoping the League Worlds
would pull it together

but you never know.

I guess the war
finally taught them

that we are better together
than apart, heh.

We've been building this thing
up for months, bit by bit

making them rely more and more
on the Rangers and each other.

But if they decided
against the alliance

or if they wanted
somebody else..

Well, I was fine with that too.

Ahem!

General.

John, there is someone here
you may want to see.

Hey, dad.

- Are you okay?
- I'm fine, I'm fine, son.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

As soon as you got out
they started being real nice

to me all of a sudden.

I think, they figured out
they were on the wrong side

and there'd be hell to pay
if anything happen.

Oh, you bet.

How's mom?

They never got near her.

She's with friends
in Minneapolis.

I hear you're going to be
my new daughter-in-law.

Yes.

- Well, welcome to the family.
- Thank you.

It's been a while since I had
a place where I truly belonged.

- Captain.
- Hmm.

Mr. President.

President Luchenko
is waiting for you, sir.

Thank you.

Mr. President?

- It's a..
- Another long story.

Well, there'll be plenty
of time for stories later.

All the time in the world.

Good evening.

We begin our broadcast tonight
with a special report

providing continuing coverage

on the unfolding
Babylon 5 story.

'President Susanna Luchenko
met today'

'with representatives
of the newly formed'

'Interstellar Alliance.'

'In a historic move'

Earth has agreed to join forces
with the new alliance.

In the same press conference

the newly elected president
of the Interstellar Alliance

'John Sheridan had this
surprising revelation.'

Now, in order to join
the alliance

the rights of the colony worlds
must be respected.

If a majority
of their population

votes for independence,
they must be freed.

Later this afternoon,
President Luchenko

will sign an executive order

declaring Mars a free
and independent world.

Obviously this will have to be
ratified by the Senate.

- So?
- So.

Have you decided yet whether
you're going back to Babylon 5?

Umm, no, not yet.

I mean,
Zack's got things under control.

I'm really in no rush
to make up my mind..

...and I haven't had a vacation
in five years.

I think I'm due
at least a few days.

You know, I'm gonna need someone

to help me run
Edgars Industries.

Oh, boy, we do that..

...they're gonna say that
I married you for your money.

Let them.

Then I'll tell them
the real reason.

Oh, yeah? And what's that?

So let me tell you something.

Oh...don't, don't.

Don't-don't do that to me.

No, no, no. Come on.

The sun is almost coming up.

I have got to get
some sleep...eventually.

'In related Babylon 5 news'

'and one of his last acts
as an officer in Earthforce'

'Captain John Sheridan
promoted Susan Ivanova'

'to the rank of full captain.'

'Citing the death
of a close friend'

'and other personal reasons'

'Captain Ivanova has asked
for and received a transfer'

'to one of the new
Warlock-Class Destroyers'

'for a one-year
shakedown cruise.'

'In a statement issued
a few hours ago'

'Captain Ivanova said only'

'"I need to decide
where my heart belongs'

'before the rest of me
can follow."'

'After the press conference
in Earth Dome this morning'

Sheridan and Delenn
left for Babylon 5.

It's rumored that they were
married in a private ceremony

aboard one of
the White Star ships.

Sources tell ISN,
they will head up

the newly formed alliance
from Babylon 5

until more permanent facilities
can be located in Tuzanor

on the Minbari Homeworld.

Off.

So..

How does it feel
to make history, hmm?

You do not make history.
You can only hope to survive it.

G'Kar, you are
a depressing person.

Thank you.

And stop eating that.

You don't even know what it is.

Something called rice.

Yes, and if it were very good

do you think they would
have been standing there

throwing it at people?

As marriage ceremonies go

the humans are
very strange indeed.

Still..

...they are quite a couple,
aren't they?

Yes, they are.

Almost makes you wish
that you could peek in on them.

See how it's going.

G'Kar, the artificial eye
that Dr. Franklin gave you..

...where is it?

It was the end
of the Earth year, 2261

and it was the dawn
of a new age

for all of us.

It was the end of one chapter
and the beginning of another.

The next 20 years
would see great changes..

...great joy and great sorrow.

The Telepath War,
the Drakh War.

The new alliance
would waver and crack..

...but in the end,
it would hold

because what is built, endures

and what is loved, endures.

And Babylon 5..

Babylon 5..

...endures.
