'And so you understand
our concern, Mollari.'

'As well as preventing
other races'

'from gaining the upper hand'

we must continue to forge good
relations with possible allies.

Yes, I understand,
but it's not an easy process.

Very few here
are as, uh, trusting as I am.

Ambassador--

But I will see what I can do.

Thank you.

I'm sure
the emperor will be pleased

by any progress
you make in this area.

I'll be in touch.

"I'll be in touch."

Touch this.

Yeah.

- Morning, ambassador.
- Lennier.

Lennier, when did you say

Ambassador Delenn was due
back from your homeworld?

In a few more days.
I'll tell her you inquired.

Uh, you know, it occurs to me

we haven't spent much time
together, you and I.

I hardly know
anything about you.

From birth
I was raised in the temple

and studied the ways
of the religious caste.

Six months ago I came here.
There is nothing else.

Ah. Most unfortunate.

Well, good day.

E-excuse me, ambassador.

Why do you say, "Unfortunate?"

Well, the assistant
to an ambassador

should know everything he can

about the other species
here on Babylon 5, yes?

Yes, I've been doing quite a bit
of reading since my arrival.

- Reading?
- Yes.

Reading is no substitute
for experience.

Tell you what, it is an
imposition on my busy schedule

but I'll take you under my wing

and fill the gaps
in your education.

Starting tomorrow morning
and for the next two days

I will show you the Babylon 5
that I know.

You will find that a revelation
of the highest order.

I-I don't know, ambassador.

Oh, my good, dear friend

trust me.

Will the defendant,
Karl Edward Mueller

please rise?

You were charged with the
calculated and unprovoked murder

of two
of this station's residents

'as well as the brutal
and senseless slaying'

of a security officer.

This court has reviewed
the charges against you

and the evidence supplied by
the Office of Station Security.

In light of that evidence,
this court finds you

guilty of murder
in the first-degree.

Sentence will be handed down
at 10 a.m. tomorrow

Earth Standard Time.

And may God have mercy
upon your soul.

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 2,500,000 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.

- I'd like to see the doctor.
- The line forms at the rear.

I'm sure it does.

Oh, I'm sorry.
Uh, please go right in.

I'll buzz the doctor.

'Alright. There you go.'

Take two every 12 hours
for the pain.

If it comes back, you come back
and see me, alright?

Thanks, doc.

You can start
by removing your clothes.

Not without dinner and flowers.

Oh, lieutenant commander,
what are you doing down here?

What a coincidence. I was about
to ask you the same thing.

Just doing my job.

Your job is chief of staff
for the Medlab facility.

No, my job is healing people.
Medlabs aren't free.

'Not everyone can afford
to come for treatment'

especially in Downbelow.

Well, they have my sympathies

but this is
an unauthorized clinic.

- This is a free clinic.
- Same thing.

The taxpayers back home
expect us to be self-supporting.

They wouldn't approve
of diverting

medicine, supplies, resources--

I know.
That's why I didn't tell you.

I don't like
having to hear about this

in the grapevine, doctor.

I'm in charge
of station operations.

This is a station

and this
is certainly for operations.

Alright, fine, but right now

there's about a dozen people
out there waiting to see me.

Now what do you intend
to do about that?

Nothing.

And there's only half dozen.
I counted.

'Look, I don't mind if you bend
the rules a little, doctor.'

I mean, I bend a few myself.

But I do like to be informed.

If I'm gonna share in the blame

I'd at least like to share
in some of the fun.

Alright. You can start
by taking off your jacket.

There's a sink in the back,
you can wash your hands and--

- I am not a doctor.
- No.

But I'm sure we can find
something for you to do.

I mean,
if you're gonna join in the fun

you might as well
go all the way, right?

Half a dozen?
Where's all the rest?

And I say we space the creep.

A couple of hours in hard vacuum

will do him and the gene pool
a world of good.

If you don't mind
my saying so, Mr. Garibaldi

you seem to be taking this
very personally.

Damn straight,
this guy killed two Lurkers

and scragged one of my men.

But more than that, he..

What?

This wasn't the first time
for this guy, commander.

The way he killed them,
cool, methodical..

He's done this before. I'd bet
good money he's done this a lot.

But you have no evidence
to that effect.

No.

'Then there's nothing I can do.'

Spacing is only invoked

under conditions
of mutiny or treason.

For the crime of murder,
there are only three penalties

legally open to us.

The first option is to send him
to a prison back to Earth.

I checked. They don't want him.

And they won't pay the money
to send him anywhere else.

And there isn't room in the brig
for the perps we've got now

let alone
putting somebody away for life.

Which leaves us
only option three.

And that brings us back to you,
Ms. Winters.

I don't wanna do this again.

I was inside a killer's mind
before on the Mars colony.

There's gotta be another way.

If you could get another
registered telepath

in here to carry the burden..

I've tried, the corps

promised to send someone
as soon as they can.

Unfortunately,
there's a shortage of telepaths

trained in criminal cases.

Why? Seems like there'd be
a lot of demand for that.

Oh, there's demand,
just not much motivation.

It's very stressful.
We burn out fast.

Maybe when you're inside
his head, you can poke around

'see if this guy's
killed before.'

Mr. Garibaldi,
you know better than that.

Scanning along those lines

violates
the right of due process.

Anything the telepath sees

whilst inside a defendant's mind
is inadmissible evidence..

But he's already
been found guilty.

Of this crime, yes.

But he hasn't been charged with
anything else.

And I will not condone
a fishing expedition.

Take the guilty verdict
and be grateful, Mr. Garibaldi.

Ms. Winters,
I'm prepared to pass sentence

and I need your help
to monitor the process.

Can I count on you?

Excuse me.

I'm a little bit turned
around here.

I-I'm looking for Brown 27-G.

A woman by the name
of Laura Rosen.

She's supposed to be
around here somewhere.

It's right over there.
Uh, what do you want with her?

Well, I've been hearing
about some kind of quack

practicing medicine
without a license.

A cross between a faith healer

and a sideshow medicine man,
or a woman in this case.

I'm sure it's all
a misunderstanding. Good luck.

Mm. Alright.

- 'Ow!'
- 'A little more.'

'There.'

'There. How's the pain now?'

- 'Better.'
- 'Good.'

Well, this should begin
to decrease the growth.

- How will I know if it worked?
- Oh, you'll know.

My treatments never fail.
Well, that should do it.

Mm. Thank you.

- How much do I--
- Oh.

Whatever you'd like to pay
is sufficient.

Just leave your contribution
in the box by the door

on your way out.

Thank you.

Ah, hello, doctor.

I wondered how long it would
take you to pay me a visit.

One healer to another.

Well, it took me a while
to notice the drop in patients.

- This is, uh..
- Alien. Yes.

This writing, what does it say?

The specifics? I don't know.

I've only been able to decipher
the most general of meanings.

In other words, you don't know
what it is or what it does

or even if it works at all.

Oh, it works, alright.

It restores, renews,
invigorates.

It's good for ailments
of the flesh

the blood and the bone.

Everything from the common cold
to Stafford's disease.

For a modest contribution,
of course.

Oh, I leave that detail up
to the conscience my patients.

Hm. Well..

'You have
quite an operation here.'

Ms. Rosen, does the term
con-job ring a bell?

My mother is not a fake
or an evil woman or a quack.

You didn't tell me
that she was your mother.

You didn't ask.

Doctor, my mother
isn't hurting anyone.

Yes, she is
if she's discouraging people

from seeking proper treatment.

Don't like the competition?

- Doctor?
- I have a problem with frauds.

If that's what you mean.
And this--

I'm sorry, I'm afraid

I'm gonna have
to ask you to leave.

My mother's very tired
after her sessions.

As a doctor,
I'm sure you can understand

'my concern for her health.'

Alright, but as a doctor,
I'll be back.

You can count on it.

'Karl Edward Mueller'

'this court
has reviewed its findings'

and is now prepared
to render judgment.

Do you have anything to say
before sentence is passed?

Stroke off.

Under the authority
of the Earth Alliance Court

I cannot sentence you to death.

A life taken will not balance
the loss of another life.

Therefore,
it's the decision of this court

that you be sentenced
to the death of personality.

'You will be conveyed under
guard to a Medlab facility'

where you'll be telepathically
scanned and then brainwiped.

The personality
of Karl Edward Mueller

will be totally
and completely erased.

'You will then be programmed
with a new set of memories.'

For the rest
of your natural life

you will serve the community
harmed by your actions.

The scan will be conducted
this afternoon

and sentence will be carried out
at midnight tonight.

Erase me?
I'll see you in hell first!

All of you! You're already dead,
and you don't even know it!

'You're dead!
All of you, you're dead!'

'You're dead!'

'Real piece of work, isn't he?'

- 'When does he get wiped?'
- Midnight tonight.

I'll have to check the equipment

make sure
the process is painless.

Do me a favor.
Don't check too close.

If there's a little pain,
I won't mind.

I'll pretend I didn't hear that.

Look, he iced
one of my best men.

The guy had a family, two kids,
on the edge of getting promoted.

- It's not right.
- And this is right?

- It's the law.
- That's not what I asked.

I'll take care of the machine,
Mr. Garibaldi.

I assume you will arrange
for someone to throw the switch?

Oh, I've got volunteers
backed up 12 deep.

Mm. More is the pity.

Oh, one more thing.

A favor in exchange for this.

I need some information
on a woman

by the name of Laura Rosen.

She's running a questionable
operation in Downbelow.

Illegal?

That's what
I'm trying to find out.

I'll have it for you in an hour.

Come, come, come, come, come.

You are going to enjoy this
very much.

You will see.

Lennier. Lennier, this way.

Ambassador, I-I'm really not
sure that this is a good idea.

Oh, nonsense.

I'm perfectly happy
to inconvenience myself

for your benefit.

Ah, Mertana, light of my life.

Two of the usual, please.

- Ambassador, this place--
- Amazing, yes?

- Well..
- Here, my friend.

Here you will see

the heart and soul of Babylon 5

'also its spleen, its kidneys'

a veritable parade
of internal organs.

Sit, sit.

The thing you must remember here
is, uh..

...is, uh..

Ambassador?

It seems I've left
my credit chit in my quarters.

I don't suppose
you brought yours, hm?

Well, yes, I-I-I did

but, but my allowance
is-is very small.

Oh, no, don't apologize.
We'll make do.

Oh, it's-it's just that
I don't think Delenn would..

Thank you.

Here, give yourself a nice tip.
He's a very generous man.

Thanks.

Here's to our new friendship,

Lennier.

There's no alcohol in here,
is there?

Alcohol? No, of course not.
Here, drink up.

Because my people do not
react well at all to alcohol.

Even a small quantity
causes psychotic impulses

and-and violent homicidal rages.

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.

Alcohol. My mistake.

Mertana, uh, just water for him.
Thank you.

'Now playing in Duplex Beta
on Red-7..'

Hi.

I, uh, wanted to know if I could

talk to you for a few minutes
if you don't mind?

I have a quota to make,
or the boss

will take it out of my salary.

That enough?

According
to the station registry

your mother was a doctor,
a real doctor.

That's right.

- Well, then why--
- You wouldn't understand.

Try me.

All her life, the only thing

that mattered to my mother
was being a doctor.

A healer.

She worked days,
nights, weekends.

But she could never keep up
with it all

so she started taking stims

to stay up nights, working.

Pretty soon she was taking them
all the time.

She was addicted.

She wouldn't admit it and
she wouldn't listen to anyone..

...until one day
she made a mistake.

Someone died.

I'm sorry.

When they took away her license

they took away
her reason for living.

Then one day she decided
that if she could find

some new alien
healing technology

she could come back, vindicated

and they'd give her back
her life.

That was three years ago.
And now--

And now she thinks
she's found it.

What do you think?

I think..

I think that for the first time
in years

I see my mother smiling.

For the first time,
I see hope in her eyes.

Janice,
her machine doesn't work.

How do you know?
Have you tested it? Examined it?

No. But if it was real,
why are you still here?

Why aren't you back on Earth
so she can show everyone

her new discovery?

- We don't have the money.
- Yes, you do.

I checked the station logs.

Your account has enough credits

for two tickets back to Earth.

But she doesn't know that, does
she? You don't want her to know.

- You don't want anyone to know.
- Doctor!

My mother
is not a young or well woman.

At most
she has a few years left.

I never wanna see her
as she was before

defeated and lost and hopeless.

She's a healer again,
and that's all that matters.

Please don't try
and take that away from her

because if you do,
I'll fight you.

And I'll win.

'In my eleventy-fifth year
in the temple'

I began to study the 97 dialects

and sub-tongues
of our homeworld.

And I discovered
something truly amazing.

- Yes?
- Yes.

The same word N'Kai

appears in every Minbari dialect
and sub-tongue

yet it never means
the same thing twice.

For instance,
it can mean sand, father, boot.

Really?
That's astonishing. Truly.

Kill me.

After my eleventy-seventh year

I focused my area of inquiry
towards mathematics

and I began to specialize
in probability.

Probability?

As in, determining the odds
of something happening?

Yes, exactly. I achieved
the rank of master adept.

My dear good friend Lennier..

...come with me.

But, uh, they're about
to begin another dance.

Yes.

But you said
that by interpreting

the movements
of certain body parts

it would help me to better
understand other cultures.

Later, later.

Right now
I want to introduce you

to the ultimate means
of interstellar understanding.

- The Earthers call it poker.
- Poker?

Come. Come.

Mr. Mueller, I'm here to perform

the court-ordered scan
prior to brainwipe.

I can produce the order
if you want to see it.

So you're going to walk around
in my head, eh?

'I'd think twice if I were you.'

Something might just jump out
of the shadows and bite you.

Any attempted intimidation
will go on your record.

So?

It's not like I'm going
to remember any of this.

That's the plan, right?

Take away my thoughts,
my memories

everything that makes me me

so they can put me to work
for the rest of my life

mopping floors,
cleaning toilets--

Mr. Muller, if you continue this

I will have to ask the guards
to restrain you.

Is that what you want?

Good. If you'll please sit.
This will only take a minute.

Don't do it!
Look, we can work this out.

Another voice for the choir.

Another voice, plus
the two Lurkers you killed.

No. More.

And more.

'And more.'

Oh, no. Oh, God, no.

How many? How many?

How many worlds are there?

How many banquets?

How many flowers
waiting to be harvested?

How many new voices waiting
to be recruited into my choir?

I had to keep adding voices
until the choir is big enough

to sing me into heaven
when I die.

It's necessary. Don't you see?

The overture is just beginning,
Ms. Winters.

Just beginning.

No.

Stay. Stay for the symphony.

Oh..

We'll save a place for you.

Doctor,
I finished the follow-ups

on those patients
you were asking for.

Good, her daughter thinks

that she's doing the right thing

but if we show her
that people's conditions

are actually getting worse

because of the lack
of proper treatment..

This can't be right.

You're sure
these are the same patients

that have been
going to see Rosen?

Absolutely. Why?

I'll be right back.

Sorry, fellas, but this is, uh

I can just feel it,
this hand here.

This is the one for..

- Well, mm-hmm, u-huh.
- Interesting.

Do you know that the odds
of this particular combination

are 5000-to-1 against?

- Uh..
- Uh..

- Uh, Lennier.
- Yes, Londo?

- Stop that.
- Ah.

Does that mean I've won again?

It means you have won a tenth

of what you could have won
if you had..

Never mind. Pick up your chips.

Pay no attention to him.
He's from out of town.

I believe it's my deal.

'There. How is the pain?'

Less. It doesn't hurt
to move my fingers.

'It feels a little tingling,
though.'

Oh, that's perfectly natural.
That will pass.

'Now, if it isn't
completely gone'

come back in a week,
and we'll see what we can do.

- Oh, I will. Thank you.
- Alright, dear.

- Laura.
- Yes?

It looks as though I was wrong.

This device of yours
is more than what it seems.

- I-it does heal, doesn't it?
- That's what I said, isn't it?

Uh, would you please go away?

- I am so tired.
- I would imagine so.

I monitored your life signs
during the session.

They dropped nearly 15%

while you were hooked up
to this thing.

It transfers energy
from one being to another.

- Doesn't it?
- Mm-hmm.

You give up a little
of your life for someone else.

I bought it from a trader
two years ago.

He had no idea what it was,
neither did I.

Took me months to figure out
how it works.

It was designed as a means
of corporal punishment.

Criminals who were sentenced
to death on different worlds

had their life energy removed.

And that energy was used
to heal others

dying of terminal illness.

But it doesn't have to be used
at full power.

It can be used
a little at a time, to do good.

Except for you.

It's killing you by inches.

You don't understand.

I'm dying anyway.

It's Lake's Syndrome.

- Lake's Syndrome?
- Mm-hmm.

- My God! The pain must be--
- Yes.

I have two, maybe three years
left at the most.

But that's time enough.

If I can figure out
how this works

then I can adjust it
so it needn't hurt

the person
administering the treatment.

Why did you lie to me
when you said

you didn't know
what this thing did?

Why did you let me think
that you were just a crank?

Because telling you the truth

would've meant telling Janice
how it affects me.

She wouldn't understand.
She'd stop me.

She loves me very much,
it seems. God knows why.

Why don't you let me
take a look at it?

I-I know some people
that might be able to help.

Oh, no. No.

Doctor, this has been my whole
life for the last two years.

No, if-if there's a discovery
here to be made

I will make it on my own terms.

Doctor, this is my last chance
to do good.

Please, let me finish
what I've started.

Thank you.

I-I'll make a deal with you.

If anything should happen to me
before I finish

the machine can go to you
and you can carry on.

You'll find my notes
quite complete.

On one condition.

Janice is to know
nothing of this.

Agreed?

Alright, if you come to Medlab
once a week for exams.

I wanna be able
to monitor your condition.

And I reserve the right
to intervene

if you start to push yourself
too far too fast.

- Done.
- Once a week.

- Starting on Monday.
- Yes.

Until then...doctor.

Harassing my mother again,
Dr. Franklin?

Uh, no, just, uh

checking in.

She's a good woman, Janice.
You should be proud.

I always have been.

It's nice to hear
somebody else say it, though.

Well, goodbye.

Uh, listen.

If you ever wanna
take a break, uh

I'd love to buy you dinner
sometime.

I don't know
what my mother told you

but it must have
really been something.

It was.

Later.

There you are.

I was looking for you.

- Finished with Mueller?
- Yes.

I got a good look.

Enough for a comparison scan
after he's been blanked.

You can proceed
whenever you want.

Thanks.

Are you okay?

No, not really.

In the past five years
I have scanned minds

that were so alien, so different

that at times I was afraid

I would never
find my way back out again.

But at least those minds
held more humanity

than what I saw
a few hours ago.

The things that live inside us,
Mr. Garibaldi

terrible things.

Terrible.

You said earlier
that you would bet good money

that he had killed before.

You would not have lost.

In the fifth card and then..

Oh, Great Maker.

Alright, I'm in.
Bet's to my left.

'I'm in for two.'

'I'll raise you three.'

'Three.'

I'll raise another three.

- Oh, is it to me?
- Yes.

Um, I'll raise a red.

Red. I have those.

Yes, you do.

It's time. Let's go.

- Going down, chief?
- Nah, heading up, Lou.

Go! Ah!

Garibaldi to maintenance!
Head back to security.

Work your way
down to the next level.

This is a priority override.

Kill transport tube
number seven, kill it now!

Ah!

Alright, I'm in for the two.

'Who are we waiting for
this time?'

'It's two to you.'

'Two. You raised three.'

And I'll raise three.

Is it cold in here
or is it just me?

Actually, the temperature
appears to be quite moderate.

Hm.

What the hell?

- Ooh!
- You? You cheating?

No, no, no. I'm sure
there's been a terrible mistake.

Perhaps you and I can talk about
it quietly some other time.

- You're cheating!
- No, no, no, no, no.

- 'Ah!'
- 'Come on.'

- I think we should leave now.
- A very good idea.

- I'll just take my winnings.
- I think not. We'll go now.

This is not good.

'And what happened
to the prisoner?'

Ah, he was hurt.

A PPG flashed him
just before he jumped me.

Looked like
it went right through his arm.

Yeah, the flash
would've cauterized the wound

but he still would've had damage
to the skin and the nerves.

He's gonna need
medical attention fast.

Well, if he comes here,
we'll take him.

If he comes here.

You say he got off
at a Downbelow sector?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- Yes, doctor?
- Rose.

If a man shows up down there
with a PPG wound

you notify me immediately.

Understood.

At this point he'd be the only

patient we've had all day.

Word's getting out
about that quack

'and her healing machine.'

Look, she's not a..

Tell Mr. Garibaldi
I'm going down to Brown 27-G.

If he doesn't hear from me
in 20 minutes

tell him to send in a team.

'Will do.'

Laura?

Uh, Ms. Rosen,
it's Dr. Franklin.

Laura?

Come in, doctor.

You're just in time.
We're almost finished here.

You alright, Laura?

I'm fine. I'm just exhausted.

Her treatment
is quite astonishing, doctor.

Only 20 minutes and I've already
regained some use of my arm.

Well, once the procedure
is finished

it never hurts to have
a second opinion

or a second hostage.

You promised you'd let her go
if I helped you.

It seems such a waste, though,
does it not?

Then I refuse to continue.

You will finish the job
or she dies now!

Ah..

Yes.

Ah, yes.

Yes, it's better. It's better.

Stay.

Or my next shot will not miss.

He's right. He won't miss.

We have no other choice.

What are you..
What are you doing?

Stop it or I'll..

You'll do nothing.

That pain you're feeling,
that agony

that's Lake's Syndrome.

A pain
almost too much to imagine.

Ah..

Arthritis.
Your vision is blurred.

Your intestines are on fire.

'Your veins
are burning with pain.'

You threatened me, you murderer.

You threatened my daughter.

'You'll never hurt anyone again.
Do you hear me?'

Oh..

You'll never hurt anyone again!

He's dead.

This court has reviewed
all of the evidence

provided by
the Office of Station Security.

'It is the judgment
of this court'

'that Laura Rosen
acted in self-defense'

to protect her own life
as well as the lives of others.

Therefore,
no charges will be pressed

and she's free to leave
on her own recognizance

provided that the alien device
used in this action

is turned over
to station personnel

so that it may be researched
more fully

and to ensure that
it is not misused in the future.

Court is adjourned.

Good luck.

If it helps any,
you did the right thing.

Thank you.

Are you alright?

I've taken a life..

...in direct violation
of my oath as a doctor.

I-I'm free of pain,
I'm free from Lake's Syndrome.

They say I may live
another 20 or 30 years.

But I do so
at the expense of a man's life.

'No, doctor. I'm not alright.'

I may never be alright again.

You heard Mr. Garibaldi.
You did the right thing.

Oh, darling.

I did the necessary thing.

That is not always the same
as the right thing.

Now if you will excuse me,
I, uh

I think I'd like to be alone
for a while.

Well, Mr. Garibaldi,
there you are.

I bring you glad tidings.

Oh, good. I could use some.

Remember that disturbance
you were telling me about

at the Dark Star,
your team had to go in

and break up a near riot?

You had to arrest
thirty humans and aliens

two of whom
refused to identify themselves.

Yeah, I was just on my way
to look into it.

- I've been a little busy.
- Well, I can save you the time.

We've identified
the two culprits.

Really? Who are they?

'What?'

I'm still waiting
for an explanation, gentlemen.

Listen, I am prepared
to give you one, commander

as soon as
the room stops spinning.

This station creates gravity
by rotation.

It never stops spinning.

Well,
I begin to see my problem, hm.

Mr. Lennier?

The incident in question

was completely
my responsibility, commander.

I asked Ambassador Mollari
to help me learn

about the parts of the station
I had not previously seen.

I was unfamiliar with the rules
of conduct in these places

and through error,
created offense

and through offense,
created the incident.

Ambassador, do you have anything
to add to this statement?

No. No, not at this time.

Diplomatic privilege
means you cannot be charged

for the events that transpired.

But I must insist on payment
of damages to the club.

Yes, I agree.
Thank you, commander.

Thank you, commander.

Why?

In Minbari culture,
we are taught

that it is an honor
to help another save face.

- But Delenn--
- Will know better.

But will not inquire
out of respect.

Good day, ambassador.

Lennier.

Thank you.

If you ever need anything
from me..

There-there is one thing.

When we were
at the gaming table

somehow..

...a part of you
reached out for the cards.

Yes? Yes?

What was that?

Uh..

Yes, it's true.

Yes, here, Li.

Goddess of passion.

A synthesis
of male and female Centauri.

Did you think
these were just decorations?

I'm going to take
a vow of silence

concerning
this entire conversation.

- Good day.
- Good day.

They are a strange people..

...but they are okay.

There you are, doctor. Hm.

I trust you'll put it
to better use than I did.

Well, the first thing
is to study it

and find out
how and why it works.

And who knows,
it might be able to preserve

someone's life
when nothing else works.

Volunteers who can donate
a little life energy

the way
people used to donate blood

before synthetics
were perfected.

You hear that? He's a dreamer.

- 'What's wrong with that?'
- Nothing, nothing at all.

But try to make sure he doesn't
wake up before I get back.

- Get back?
- Yes.

Through no desire of my own

I have been granted
a second lease on life.

Somewhere out there
is what I need to redeem myself.

- You don't need to--
- Yes, I do.

And I'm going to find it.
I'm all packed.

My cruiser leaves
in half an hour.

I am.. I-I would ask you
to look after my daughter.

But my instincts tell me
that won't be a problem.

- Goodbye, doctor.
- Goodbye, Laura.

And for what it's worth

I hope you find
what you're looking for.

Thank you.

Is that dinner invitation
still open?

Yeah. Yeah, it's still open.

7:00? Zocalo?
