The last poem you read tonight.

'"In the Light Of Two Moons."'

Did I not hear
some of it when we were both..

Both too young to know
anything..

...about anything.

We could only feel and wonder
what it all meant.

But you recall correctly.

I did start it then

poor and groping for meaning.

It has matured
and changed over the years.

I finally knew
that it was ready last month.

Tonight was
its first performance.

- I remember it.
- I thought you might.

Our lives were simpler then.

Do you regret the choices
that you made...to be here?

Sometimes.

Only sometimes.

You?

I would be nothing
other than what I am.

It's been a long day.

- I have kept you too late.
- No.

It is just that I have another
performance in the morning

and after that I must prepare
for my journey to Earth.

I hope humans appreciate what
riches of spirit you bring them.

If they do not, I shall
retire to a doxhouse

and devote my remaining years
to the songs of Heefa.

It is good to
have you here, Mayan.

Shall I walk you
to your quarters?

Thank you, dear friend.

But I'm sure your day begins
even earlier than mine.

- Goodnight then.
- Goodnight.

Ah!

Stay away from Earth, freak!

It was the dawn
of the Third Age of mankind

ten years after
the Earth-Minbari War.

The Babylon Project
was a dream given form.

Its goal, to prevent another
war by creating a place

where humans and aliens

could work out
their differences peacefully.

It's a port of call,
home away from home

for diplomats, hustlers,
entrepreneurs and wanderers.

Humans and aliens, wrapped in

two million
five hundred thousand tons

of spinning metal,
all alone in the night.

It can be a dangerous place.

But it's our last
best hope for peace.

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

The year is 2258.

The name of the place
is Babylon 5.

This is an outrage, commander!
An outrage!

Shaal Mayan is regarded as a
cultural treasure by my people.

This brutal attack
affects not only her person

but the soul of my entire race!

We'll get whoever
is responsible. I promise.

Will you promises
take away Mayan's pain

her terror, her humiliation?

I told her she should have an
escort during her stay.

She refused.

Mayan could not conceive

of anyone wishing her harm.

And there was a time,
Mr. Garibaldi

'when one could walk through
Green Sector'

'without need of escort!'

I assure you,
we're doing everything we can

to correct that, ambassador.

Then you are required
to do better, commander.

Much better!

'This is the sixth attack
on a prominent alien'

'in less than two weeks.
All with the same MO.'

And it's not just happening
on Babylon 5

Both Earth and Mars have had
a rash of similar incidents.

Home Guard?

That brand
is their calling card.

And according to the latest
security update

their numbers are growing daily

along with a dozen or so

other pro-Earth groups.

Pro-Earth?

They're nothing
but hate peddlers

playing off fear and ignorance

to turn human against alien.

But I won't have it here,
not on Babylon 5.

I want these scum, Michael.

- I want them bad.
- I'll do my best.

But the problem is
there's many who agree with them

and even more
who just don't give a damn.

Then make them give a damn.

Commander Sinclair,
I have just been informed

of the latest atrocity
committed by your people.

My people did not attack
Shaal Mayan.

But rest assured, whoever did
will be found and punished

to the full extent of the law.

I have no special love
for the Minbari or their poets.

But I warn you, commander

'if any Narn
is harmed in this way'

there will be
bloody retribution!

'And I warn you, ambassador'

any disruption of Babylon 5
will be dealt with

even if I have to throw
the entire Narn population

into the brig.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

All I could see was a shadow.

I'm sorry.

This shadow, was it humanoid,
alien, big, small?

It was a shadow.
That is all that I know.

That, and the pain..

...and this.

Is there anyone on the station

who might have
reason to harm you?

Mr. Garibaldi,
I create and perform ti'la

poem songs that attempt
to recall old memories

and prompt new ideas.

While a number of them
have provoked

discussions of some heat..

...I have never before
been stabbed and branded.

Thank you for your time.

- I could remove that mark..
- No.

It is a lesson.

One that should not be
forgotten.

'Babylon Control
to Centauri liner Carbo'

we'll have someone
waiting at this end

to take custody
of the detainees.

Detainees? What kind?

- Raiders? Hijackers?
- Unknown.

All he said was that they didn't
appear to be dangerous

and he wanted to hand them over
to someone of command rank.

- So if you've got a minute..
- 'I don't.'

Lieutenant commander,
I'm up to my eyeballs

I got everyone of my people
looking into these attacks.

- It will only take a minute.
- I don't have a minute.

Well, neither do I.

Unless of course you'd like me

to get the commander to do it?

Okay, alright.

- I'll do it. No problem.
- Good.

Just one quick stop
to make on the way.

I found an illegal planter
in the garden last week.

Someone was actually using

our hydroponic system
to grow coffee.

And as everyone knows the garden
is to be used

only for fruits,
vegetables, grains

so I figured I'd just stop by

and rip it
right out of that planter.

It's too bad. The beans looked
just about ripe.

And coffee is so expensive
to import.

Mr. Garibaldi.

I think I'll take a walk,
and while I'm out

I might as well stop by
and pick up the detainees.

- You're a vicious man.
- I'm head of security.

It's in the job description.

Let go!
I am a Centauri citizen.

You have no right
to manhandle me.

We demand to see
Ambassador Cotto!

Lead them to Blue-5
and make sure

the Centauri representative
is informed.

Susan.

It's been a long time.

It's been eight years, Malcolm.

What are you doing on Babylon 5?

I'm looking for something.

Something I never
stopped wanting.

I have to go. I have duties.

'Same old Susan.'

Duty first.

That's right. Enjoy your stay.

But you said in your letters
that you were the ambassador.

It's a little difficult
to explain right now.

This is a great
disappointment to us, cousin.

Alright, Sinclair,
what is it this time?

I suggest
you ask Ambassador Cotto.

Who?

Ambassador Mollari,
may I present

'Aria Tensus
and my cousin, Kiron Maray.'

'They arrived from
Centauri Prime today'

and were taken into custody
immediately

by Earthforce security!

Commander, can you explain
this affront

to our noble citizens?

Your noble citizens
had stolen credit chips.

Oh. I see.

'Since they are Centauri
I'm going to release them'

into your custody pending
further investigation

of the charges.

What am I supposed to do
with them?

You're always saying the
Centauri are an advanced race.

You figure it out.

So...you do take a break
every now and then.

- Actually, my shift just ended.
- Then maybe we can talk.

There was a time when you and I
would spend entire evenings

just talking, when we weren't..

That was a long time ago,
Malcolm.

A different place.
A different me.

All the more reason
to start over.

- I'm tired. I have to go.
- Susan.

Malcom, it's been eight years.
Let's take it slow, alright?

So when their families
arranged marriages for them

they fled here.

Yes, but why?

I'm to marry the ugliest woman
on Centauri Prime.

And Aria is betrothed to a man

who is old enough
to be her grandfather!

Ugly and old, yes?

Then their families
must be both rich and powerful.

I commend your parents
on fine choices.

But I still don't see
the problem!

We don't want to
marry anyone else!

We want to
marry each other.

- We love each other.
- Love?

What does love have to do
with marriage?

My dear, beautiful children.

'Consider for a moment
what you are doing.'

For a thousand years

marriages have been arranged
among our people.

Marriages which meld
the noble houses together

and-and keep the fabric
of the republic strong.

Sometimes, these marriages
call for sacrifice.

'Great sacrifice.'

But we make this sacrifice

because this is what it means
to be Centauri!

If you deny this tradition,
you lose the very thing

which makes you what you are.
Do you understand?

But it's so unfair!

Mr. Roberts, are you aware

of Babylon 5's regulations
regarding weapons?

I got a right to defend myself!

You've seen some the things
that walk around this place.

Some of them could
tear a man's head off.

Is that what you were doing
the other night?

- Defending yourself?
- What do you mean?

Shaal Mayan was attacked
last night

and there's traces of
fresh blood on your knife.

It's mine.
I cut myself opening a crate.

- Ever hear of the Home Guard?
- Yeah, sure.

If you ask me,
they got the right idea.

It's about time we human beings
stood up for our rights.

Damn aliens are ruining
everything for us.

Book him for carrying
illegal weapon

and run a DNA check
on that blood.

What the hell is this crap? I--

Let me tell you something,
creep.

I don't like your attitude.

And if the blood on that
toothpick of yours

'matches Mayan's, I'll give you
over to the Minbari'

and let them play dice
with your eyeballs.

I don't know what's worse

damn aliens or the traitors
who suck up to them

over their own kind.

'Get him out of here!'

'Earth Alliance
transport Wolfbay'

'you may proceed to jumpgate.'

'Roger, Babylon Control.'

Ambassador Kosh,
I hadn't heard from you

so I thought I'd make sure
you'd been informed.

There have been several
recent attacks on non-humanoids.

We are conducting a thorough
investigating

and hope to have it
wrapped up soon.

Good.

Meanwhile, it might be helpful

if you spoke with
the other ambassadors.

We take no interest
in the affairs of others.

Well, I hope you'll reconsider.

If you could give us a hand,
we..

Yes?

Nothing.
We'll respect your wishes.

That's quite a viewer.

I've never seen anything
quite like it before.

- What is it?
- Efficient.

Those are images from my world.
If I may ask, what are you..

- I am studying.
- Studying what?

Ambassador?

'Any word yet
from Earth Central?'

No. Funny.

There's something I've been
thinking about it all day.

And I can't
get it out of my head.

What's that?

When Earth Central
assigned you here

did they brief on what happened

when Ambassador Kosh arrived?

They just said a radical
organization

within the Minbari military cast
tried to assassinate him.

They used poisoned
administered through the hand.

I was talking with Kosh earlier

and I remembered something
I never could quite figure out.

Kosh wears an encounter suit

to protect him
from our atmosphere

so how did the poison
get in to his system?

His hand should've been
completely covered.

Vorlons are very secretive.

And they don't want anyone know
what they look like

what they breathe,
or how their biology works.

I mean, who knows how much
that suit is really necessary

and how much is just camouflaged

to keep us from seeing
what's inside?

The only person who does know
is Dr. Ben Kyle

who saved Kosh's life.

Since he's bound by doctor's
oath of confidentiality

he never told me what he saw

when he opened
that encounter suit.

Strangely enough,
right after that

he was transferred to Earth

to work directly
with the president.

And our first telepath
Lyta Alexander

the only member of the Psi Corps
to scan a Vorlon

was transferred back
a week later.

You think there's a connection?

I don't know. Maybe.

Do you have any idea
how much trouble

these lovebirds of yours
have given me?

I've already had a dozen
messages from Centauri Prime.

Yes, their families are outraged
and it's my head they're after!

- What are you going to do?
- What am I going to do?

The only thing I can do,
send them home where they belong

and hope they come
to their senses!

- But they love each other.
- Love.

Pah! Overrated!

Here, look.

These are my three wives.

Pestilence, famine and death.

Do you think I married them
for their personalities?

'Their personalities could
shatter entire planets.'

Arranged marriages, everyone.

But they worked out.
They inspired me.

Knowing that they were waiting
at home for me

is what keeps me here
75 light-years away.

But, ambassador, they're just
going to run away again.

But happily,
that is not my problem.

Now, you go
find your little lovebirds

and tell them to be ready.

There's a transport leaving
for Centauri Prime tonight

and I want them on it.

If you need me,
I'll be in the casino.

Commander.

The Abbai delegation is
preparing to dock.

Have a liaison officer
meet them at customs.

You wanted to see me, commander?

I hear you have a suspect
in the assault of Mayan?

Had.

DNA scan showed
the blood on his knife

was his own just like he said.

He sure fit the profile, though.
A real hate freak.

- You let him go?
- Under red level surveillance.

I could've held him
on the weapon charge

but I think he'd be
more useful to us running loose.

He's a logical recruit
for the Home Guard.

- Meet attracting maggots.
- Good idea.

- What else have you turned up?
- I haven't had much time.

Since the attack on Mayan
there's been fights

breaking out all over
the station.

Things are getting ugly
out there, commander.

That's exactly what
the Home Guard wants.

If they can turn Babylon 5
into a war zone

everything we've worked for here
will be destroyed.

We better wrap this one up
quickly, Michael.

I know.

Oh, we had some good times
together.

Yeah, we sure did.

Tell me, do you, um..

...do you ever regret
leaving me?

Regret?

No.

Io was a great career move.

It opened a lot of doors.

And serving there
was very exciting for me..

...even if I did cry myself
to sleep the first few months.

I never wanted to let you go.

I feel the same today.

Malcom, I'm still committed
to my career.

And you know what that means.

And I can accept that now.

Which is, uh...why
I'm going into business here.

What?

I do believe
this is the very first time

I've ever surprised you.

But you're not serious,
are you?

Absolutely.

In fact, I've already, um,
secured an office and quarters.

'All I need is
a few more clients.'

I hope that you might be able to
help me with that.

But the important thing

is that we'll be together again.

Right?

He can ID me. Burn him!

No!

'Kiron! Aria!'

Let's get out of here!

Oh, my..

'Kiron.'

'Boy's in a coma.'

'Thoracic wound,
PPG at close range.'

He's in intensive care
in Medlab 2.

- How's Aria?
- Stunned with a shock stick.

He's a little bruised
and a lot scared.

Physically, she'll be fine.

Does she remember
anything about the attack?

- 'No.'
- And the boy?

He might be able to
identify his attacker

if he comes out of the coma.

Garibaldi.

'Chief,
we've got a major disturbance'

'in Central Corridor,
Brown Sector.'

'We can no longer stand idly by'

as our peoples are slaughtered
by these cowardly humans!

We must fight back with
every means at our disposal!

'He's right!'

Is there some problem,
Ambassador G'Kar?

Problem, indeed!

Eight non-humans
brutally attacked

in the space of two weeks.

And you have yet to make
even a single arrest.

We have a good lead
in the latest incident and..

Spare us your usual platitudes,
commander.

You know very well why these
crimes remain unsolved.

It is because the perpetrators
are human!

I want you out of here,
commander. Now!

To hell with that. I'm not going
anywhere until they listen.

We've both seen mobs before

and anything you say
will only make them hotter.

Now, get outta here,
and let me do my job.

I promise, I'll be gentle.

So this is your response,
is it, Sinclair?

So much for Babylon 5's
highly vaunted justice!

'Justice, you're about to get
a firsthand taste of, G'Kar.'

Starting with a charge of
inciting to riot.

Or you can go back to your
quarters

and we'll call it
a misunderstanding.

'Alright, move him out.'

Che duga.You.

You, I hear.

- You one who hunts.
- Out of my way!

Thank you.
I had a lovely evening.

Well, I was hoping

that it wasn't over..

Yet.

- That's not too flattering.
- It's duty.

Ivanova here.

'We've had a near riot
in Central.'

- 'I need you in briefing room.'
- I'm on my way.

- You have to go.
- Did he say there was a riot?

Malcolm, out!

Um,
catch you on your next break?

Yes.

Situation's cooled down some,
but we've had a few incidents..

Including one involving my
old pal Roberts.

How serious?

Well, he's gonna be spendin'
a few days in Medlab.

Luckily,
we had him on Red surveillance.

'We nabbed the perps
before they killed him.'

Keep a lid on it.

This could provoke even
more trouble.

I could strangle that damn
G'Kar.

Hm. Love your new look.

Considering the situation,
Garibaldi

I think you'd have something
on your mind

other than my look.

- Sir?
- Let's begin.

Aria. I'm so sorry.

My dear child, don't worry.
Kiron will be fine.

Dr. Franklin is a veritable
wizard.

- They won't let me be near him.
- 'Of course not.'

But he wouldn't want that.

If he senses I'm here..

...he'll recover.

I know it.

Can't you do something about it,
ambassador?

'Go back to your suite
and rest.'

There's nothing you can do here.

I'm not leaving Kiron.

Ambassador.

You should listen to the girl.

We Minbari consider love
a most potent force for healing.

She cares deeply for him.

Such feelings can turn the tide
when all else fails.

Oh, I see.

And if he dies despite this
great power of--

If he dies,
she will suffer enormous grief.

But every moment together will
make her grief a little less.

I would expect such logic
from a poet.

What can a Minbari know
about Centauri feeling?

Ambassador, I have traveled far
and seen much.

And what I have seen
tells me that

all sentient beings are
best defined

by their capacity
and their need for love.

And she will learn to live
without it!

As you did?

You wanted to see me?

I've been keeping up
surveillance on Roberts

and he just had an interesting
visitor.

Computer, play surveillance tape
971, count 16.

'Commencing.'

'I know that man. He was in
Ivanova's quarters last night.'

Mr. Roberts?
I'm Malcolm Biggs.

'What's happened to you is..'

'Well, it's a disgrace.'

Tell me about it.

There are some of us who don't
like what's happening here.

Alien ambassadors
setting policy for humans.

'Alien workers taking jobs
from human beings.'

Inhuman criminals preying on

decent people like yourself.

We want to put a stop to that.

And we think you can help us.

'End of recording.'

I never would've dreamed..

A man can change a lot
in eight years.

There's no reason
you should've known.

Exactly what is it you wanted me
to do, commander?

'Introduce me.'

Tell me I'm not happy about
all these aliens

forcing themselves on Earth.

Groups like this always like to
recruit friends in high places.

If they accept me, it could give
us a chance to nail them all

before they do any more damage.

Very well.

- On one condition.
- Name it.

I wanna be there
when you take them down.

There's a diplomatic reception
at the council chambers tonight.

That might be a good way
to get the ball rolling.

As you wish.

Ambassador, I've been looking
everywhere for you.

Yes.

Yes, what do you want?

- To tell you something.
- Well?

You..

- You-you-you were wrong.
- What?

My cousin and Aria wanted to
be together

because they love each other.

Now, would that destroy the
great Centauri Republic?

We cannot turn our back on
tradition.

Oh, damn tradition!

Kiron may die because
our glorious tradition

values wealth and power
over love.

My shoes are too tight.

Excuse me?

Something my father said.

He was...old.

Very old at the time.

I went into his room

and he was sitting alone
in the dark, crying.

'So I asked him what was wrong.'

And he said..

"My shoes are too tight

"but it doesn't matter

because I have forgotten
how to dance."

'I never understood
what that meant until now.'

My shoes are too tight..

...and I have forgotten how to
dance.

I don't understand.

Nor should you.

Commander Sinclair.

May I introduce Mila Shar.

Head of the agricultural
delegation from Abba Four.

We look forward to
studying your

hydroponic cultivation methods,
commander.

I understand
they've been most successful.

They should be.
The best technos from Earth

set up the system for us.

It's state of the art.

I trust your security is
equally as efficient?

Absolutely.

We understand there have been
several attacks

'on non-humans lately.'

Naturally, I'm concerned about
the welfare of our delegates.

Don't be. We have everything
under control.

Uh, but wasn't a Centauri youth

seriously injured
just last night?

He'll recover.

'They're nervous.'

'About what?'

The recent attacks on
non-humans.

They're afraid they'll be next.

What if they are?
I served on the line

and we had a motto there..

'"The only good alien
is a dead alien."'

It was true then,
it's true now.

The job description says
I have to play diplomat.

It doesn't mean I have to
like it.

- Were you in the war, Biggs?
- Well, no, I missed it.

Sit down. Sit down.

Let me tell you something.

I fought.

My best friends died.

And we won.

Not because we out-fought them.

Not because we were
luckier than them

or stronger than them,
or smarter than them.

'We won because the damn Minbari
let us win.'

You know what that victory
tasted like?

Ashes.

You'd be surprised how many
times I've heard that.

There's a movement
back on Earth.

It's growing, gaining in support

from people just like you.

So I've heard.

We want to put Earth back
at the center of the universe.

Our universe.

Get rid of alien influences.

Get rid of aliens!

Put Earth first!

We must get back to our roots.

'Let's let humans be humans!'

Who's we?

Friends of mine.

And perhaps soon of yours.

'I want you to meet them.'

Both of you.

I'd like that.

Yes.

Of course,
we must be discreet.

Not every human agrees
with our stance.

So I'd like a small gesture.

To show where your sentiments
lie.

What sort of gesture?

Something to put every alien
on this station in their place!

To Earth!

I know you've all been concerned

about the recent violence
against aliens onboard.

And you will be relieved to know

there is no longer any danger.

Good!
You've arrested the criminals!

- But why weren't we informed?
- Mr. Garibaldi.

We've good reason to believe
the perpetrators

have fled back to Earth.

Naturally,
we've alerted Earthforce there.

Then you have identified them?

I'm afraid that information
is classified at the moment.

Why is it classified?

Do you think we are pouchlings,
commander?

Are we really to believe that
these humans are simply gone?

I for one,
do not accept a word of it!

- Neither do I!
- 'Believe whatever you like.'

The fact is the investigation
is over! Thank you.

Dr. Franklin!

Ah, whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Welcome back.

How do you feel?

Tired.

Well, that'll pass.
When you feel up to it

Mr. Garibaldi has some questions
about the people who shot you.

And Ambassador Mollari was
askin' about you.

I think he wants to have a long
talk with both of you.

Commander,
I just heard from Malcolm.

- He's set the meeting.
- Where is it?

He won't tell me. He'll meet us
in the Zocalo in half an hour

and take us there.

We're to be unarmed.

Looks like our boy's being
cagey.

I expected that.

We'll link into the security net
so you can monitor us.

If they suspect we've been
lying, this could be a trap.

I'll be all ears.

You need us, we'll there.
Good luck.

Dr. Franklin says you'll be able
to travel in a few days.

I've made all the arrangements.

- But--
- Please, no more arguments.

You will return to Centauri
Prime as is your duty!

However, upon arrival

you'll be met by Andilo Mollari,
my second cousin.

'He will escort you to his
family estate in the capital'

where you will enter into
a period of fosterage

until you are of adult age.

- I don't understand.
- Fosterage?

A fairly common practice
in the old days.

And though seldom done nowadays,
the law still allows it.

'Vir, very impressive.
I can see you've been studying.'

Good. You will live with Andilo
and his wives. All good people.

And they will instruct you,
in among other things

'proper decorum
for Centauris of your rank.'

But our parents,
they'll object.

I doubt it.

You see,
Andilo is a very powerful man.

And it is a great honor to be
fostered by his family.

'To object would be to defy
all tradition.'

But what will become of us?

You will study our culture,
learning all you can of it.

Then, when you are old enough,
Andilo will give you permission

to decide for yourselves
whom you wish to marry!

Even if it's only for love?

- If you insist!
- Ah! Thank you.

Alright, enough.

You two need to rest.

Now, we'll talk more later.

Ambassador.

Why?

Because..

...you are still children.

And children should be
allowed to dance.

Vir.

They're entering Cargo Bay 5.

This is it.

Where are the others?

Already here, commander.

Worth, activate the jammer.
Alvarez, on scan.

- We don't want to be disturbed.
- 'I'm impressed.'

What are those things?

Black-light camouflage,
developed by Earthforce.

'They're still under wraps
in R and D

but our friends got us some
prototypes.

We have friends everywhere.

'We hope that you'll be
one of them.'

- I'll help any way I can.
- 'We're counting on it.'

- Worth, is the jammer up?
- Perimeter secured.

Damn! They jammed us.
Let's move.

The recent attacks on Earth,
Mars and here

were just a prelude.

In two days' time

there'll be a mass
assassination.

In one night, we'll take out

the four major ambassadors
stationed here.

Mollari, Delenn

'G'Kar and Kosh.'

Their deaths will be a signal

to terminate the ambassadors
on Earth.

But the scale of it, I mean

you would need hundreds
of people.

Well, as Alvarez said,
we got friends everywhere.

Clear it out, clear it out!
Coming through, coming through!

Clear it out!

What do you want us to do?

Get us into the ambassadorial
wing and off the station

undetected after we've finished.

- No problem.
- Good.

Then there's just
one more thing..

I call it a little loyalty test.

Commander, please!

- I don't know what these men--
- Shut up!

- Kill it.
- No, please.

- No! Please!
- Come on, Jeff.

'You said it yourself. The only
good alien is a dead one!'

Have mercy on me, commander,
please. No!

'Malcolm.'

The scanner, it shows a whole
lot of people heading our way.

Move it out! Jag it!

Clear it!

I wouldn't. Give me an excuse
and you're dead.

- You alright?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

'Earth Alliance Special
Transport Normandy Beach'

'is now departing from
Docking Bay-6A.'

'All assigned personnel,
please report immediately.'

Such great hatred

for so little real reason.

It seems incomprehensible to me.

Human ways are often
unfathomable.

But in time,
one learns to live with them.

If one has an exceedingly
strong constitution.

I can't believe
you did this to me, Susan.

What kind of a human are you
to side with them?

'I find many of these people
to be more human'

than you and your kind.

But I don't suppose
you'd understand that.

- I don't know you anymore.
- I never knew you.
