I was there.

I was there.

We were there.

At the dawn...

...of the third age.

Of a new age.

The birth
of the Interstellar Alliance.

A proud moment.

A powerful moment.

Delenn! Ah, damn it.

-Delenn!
-Yes, John.

Have you seen my blue socks?

There are plenty of socks
right over there.

Yeah. They're not blue.

Yes, good point.

The blue socks
are my lucky socks.

All socks are lucky socks,

because at the rate
you lose them,

you're lucky
to have any at all.

You don't understand.

These are the socks I wore
when I took over Babylon 5.

I thought it would be,
you know,

symbolic wearing them
when I leave B5

to take over the Alliance.

No one will know.

I'll know.

I can't go out there
without 'em.

Then what are
your plans, Mr. President?

To go sockless?

No, of course not.

Now, please. We need to go.

They're waiting for us.

I'm just saying,
you shouldn't
have challenged me.

I'm not having
this conversation.

Delenn, he's not wearing
any so--

Don't. Just don't.

This is
an Interstellar News Network
special report.

Two years after winning
the Shadow War,

Captain John Sheridan,
President of
the Interstellar Alliance,

is leaving Babylon 5
for what many expect
to be the last time.

He is accompanied
on this journey by his wife,

former Minbari Ambassador
Delenn, another veteran
of the Shadow War,

which began when
the exploratory vessel Icarus

awoke an advanced race,
known as the Shadows,

on their home world
of Z'ha'dum.

When they reactivated
their war against the Vorlons,

the conflict put Earth
in the crosshairs

and threatened
to destroy dozens of worlds

and kill trillions.

When all else failed,

Sheridan was able
to end the war.

Now get the hell
out of our galaxy!

Upon
arriving on Minbar,
Sheridan and Delenn

will take up residence
in the capital city
of Tuzenor,

which will serve
as permanent home
for the 12-world Alliance.

The emotions
of the moment
show in his eyes

as Sheridan bids
farewell to the station
where he served,

now under the command
of Captain Elizabeth Lochley.

Godspeed, John.

In preparing
for this report,

we repeatedly
asked President Sheridan
for an interview,

only to be told
that Sheridan is not big
on the press these days.

And--

Hello. Hello.
Is this thing on?

- John?
- Over here.

Why are you standing
in the shadows?

Got used to it, I guess.

Are you having second thoughts
about... well, about all this?

Me? No.

I passed second thoughts
days ago.

I'm up to 14 now.

No, I'm just not sure

if I'm cut out
to be a politician, Delenn.

I don't wanna spend my time
doing ceremonial things,

opening shopping malls,

giving medals
to people I don't like.

Pardoning a turkey.

Sorry?

Thanksgiving.

It's a big holiday back home.

People celebrate
by eating turkeys.

But by tradition, one turkey
always gets pardoned.

It says much
about your species

that you have based
an entire holiday

on deciding not to kill
something for a change.

Anyway, I just
wanted to let you know

we'll be jumping out
to Minbar soon.

You should get ready.

Mm. Copy that.

Delenn...

I'll admit,
I'm a little nervous.

But I know I'll get through it.

Not because
I'm the smartest guy

or the best guy for the job.

But because I know
you believe in me.

I don't need
an Interstellar Alliance,

I don't need the stars

or any of the worlds
spinning around them.

I only need you, Delenn.

You're my universe.

The brightest star in my sky.

I love you.

I love you too.

Now, get ready.

Oh! And I brought you
a present.

Now get ready.

Oh! And I brought you
a present.

Thank you for coming,
Mr. President.

I was told that Satai Delenn
would be joining us.

She's running behind,

but she'll be here
before we're finished.

Ah! Good. Good.

I trust you've settled in well
these last few weeks?

Yes, unpacked,
found my blue socks,

settled in, over the star-lag

and generally,
garden-variety peachy-keen.

Excellent.

We appreciate you doing this.

I imagine that being asked
to give your blessings

to a new power system
may seem trivial.

No, no, no, no,
not at all, Trudan.

I like opening shopping malls.

Uh, what's a shopping mall?

It doesn't matter.

What's important is that
from what I've been told,

this will provide power
for the entire city of Tuzenor,

at a fraction of the pollutants

put out by
the previous generators.

I couldn't possibly
be more excited.

Thank you.

Yes, thank you very much.

This way, please.

Thank you.
Yes, thank you very much.

This way, please.

Huh...

Uh, Mr. President,
are you coming?

Yeah.
Right... Right behind you.

A friend of mine once said
that the future
is all around us,

waiting in moments
of transition, to be born
in moments of revelation.

Surely, this is
just such a moment,

for Minbar
and the Minbari people.

I believe this is where
we fire this baby up.

Fire up... a baby?

Find the "on" switch.

A-ha. Yes, initiate phase one.

The experimental process
used by this new power system

will be adopted
by all member worlds
of the Interstellar Alliance,

and will be key
to the advancement

of several--

Initiate phase one.

Key to the advancement
of several civilizations
on the brink of--

Initiate phase one.

Phase two activated.

Mr. President,
are you all right?

No, something's...
Something's wrong.

Oh, no!

We should get help.

Are you okay?

Trudan, what kind of energy
does this facility use?

Oh, it was in the release.

Nobody reads press releases!

What's the damned
energy source?

Tach... Tachyons.

Oh, crap.

When we travel in time,

we pass through great waves
of Tachyon impulses.

You can become unstuck in time
unless there is anchor.

These will keep you
from drifting.

Also, protect you.

Time distortion
can do terrible harm.

You have to
turn off the system.

We can't.
Once it starts,

it cannot be terminated
until it reaches full--

Then get me out of here
before I--

Before you what?

Lennier,
get us out of here!

- His stabilizer, it's hit!
-John!

No!

What happened to him?

Time stabilizer damaged.

He is unstuck in time.

Zathras warn,
but no one listen to Zathras.

What do you mean,
unstuck in time?

Where is he?
In the past, in the future?

Cannot say.
Saying, I would know.

Do not know, so cannot say.

It's happening again.

I'm coming unstuck in time.

Is there anything I can do?

Do you have a time stabilizer?

A... A what?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

John!

This way! Hurry!

You better... run.

-What?
-Run!

Run!

No!

No!

Delenn!

No! Stay back!

Delenn! No!

Run. Run!

John!

The hardest part
of dealing with Pak'ma'ra,

who, as you know,
are carrion eaters,

is the methane residue they
leave behind, which can be--

Uh, can be--

Don't panic.

Don't...

Run, run, run, run, run, run!

What?

What?

Nice setup.

Sorry I kind of fried
your classroom.

Happens.

You'd be surprised
what goes down

when you're dealing
with alien medicine.

So the university
is very patient with me.

I'm just glad
to see you doing well.

Getting the test results.

Looks like
your theory was right.

Yeah, well, traveling in time,

bright lights plus boom
equals unstuck in time.

How far did you say I jumped?

Eighteen years
since you left B5.

Can I call me?
Future me, I mean?

That would be weird.

"Hi, me, it's me."

Might not be wise.

Timeline issues
could cause trouble.

You said these
flashbacks started
when you left Babylon 5?

Yes. Why?

It's possible
there could be a link.

The time stabilizers came
from the planet beneath B5.

Epsilon 3, I know.

So it's possible that moving
outside the range

of whatever tech Zathras used
to moderate the Tachyon field

began to wear off
as you got farther away,

reducing your stability
in the time-stream.

Then, when you got hit
by the massive Tachyon flow
at the power station--

Boom!

Maybe a big boom.

You see the tests also show
that you're out of phase.

Out of phase?

Wow. That's bad.

You don't have any idea
what that means, do you?

Not a clue.

It means that
the longer you stay out

of your own timeline,
the more you'll start sliding.

Not just into
the past and future,

but even alternate realities,

timelines and parallel worlds,

like our reality in most ways,
but different in others.

So how do I fix it?

Can I fix it?

You have to get back
to Babylon 5,

then down to Epsilon 3.

Find Zathras.

Zathras?

I'd rather be annihilated.

John?

Every time I even
think about him,

I get this pain
behind my left eye.

I think agitation might
hasten the time-jumps.

Ugh, now you tell me?

John, listen to me.

Quantum physics
says, "The observer
affects the observed."

You might be able
to find your way back

by remembering exactly
what you were thinking of

when you disappeared
from your timeline.

Did you hear me?

John! Did you hear me?

What was that?

-Garibaldi.
-You okay?

I'm fine.
But you missed him.

Damn it.

Is he gonna be okay?

I don't know.

I don't know
if any of us will be okay.

But the worst is,
I lied to him, Michael.

I told him he jumped
18 years instead of 23.

I couldn't bear to tell him
that he died three years ago.

Any idea where
or when he's going?

None at all.

John?

Dad?

Should've told me
you were coming.

I could've made
something special for dinner.

I'm as surprised as you are.

I like the beard.

Thanks.

I wasn't sure
about it at first,

but I think it grows on you.

Most beards do.

Where's Mom?

Hmm. Went off to the store.
Should be along anytime.

Weird question...

What's the date?

January 17th.

The year?

Don't ask. Long story.

2258. Uh, why?

The year I took over
as CO at Babylon 5.

A lifetime ago,

I thought it was
just a few weeks.

Time's funny that way.

I forget sometimes
how much I love this place.

Do you remember
when you got lost
in the cornfields?

Some things you don't forget.

Dad?

I got turned around.

Sun was straight overhead,

no way to tell east from west.

And I started to panic.

Which only made
the situation worse.

Then I thought, "Okay,
if panic doesn't help,

maybe being calm
will do something."

I thought about you, and Mom.

And how much
I loved you,
and this place,

and it was like
I could feel
which way to go.

And I did.

I followed that feeling
all the way home.

For a long while after that,

I'd go in once a week
to get lost on purpose.

Just to prove to myself
that I could always
find my way home.

Hmm. Why'd you stop?

Got tall enough
to see past the corn.

Perspective changes
everything, I guess.

There's your mom now.

I better help her land.

You know how she is
on parallel parking.

Won't she be surprised
to see you?

I love you, Dad.

You know that, right?

I love you both so much.

Well, then I suppose
we love you too, son.

What the hell?

Wha...

Now where the hell am I?

I can barely breathe.

Icarus?

"The Shadow War,
which began when
the exploratory vessel Icarus

awoke an advanced race
known as the Shadows

on their home world
of Z'ha'dum."

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Stop!

What the--

Stop! Wait!

How did you--

There's no time for that.

You have to--

You have to--

Here, breathe.

Who are you?
What are you doing here?

Doesn't matter.

No time to waste.

We thought we were the first.

We are.

Looks like we've got
a claim jumper.

The exploration team,
where are they?

They went down into the city,
said they found a way
inside some big structure.

-Call them back.
-What?

Don't listen to him. It's a--

Call them back!

Don't let them touch anything!

We're inside.

There's something here--

Get back to base! Right now!

Who is this?

It's too late.
We're already deep inside.

The walls.
The walls are moving...

and there's something
behind them.

We...
We're not alone.

They're coming toward us!

They're...

Too late.

Has to be a light switch
around here somewhere.

"Where was Moses
when the lights went out?"

In the freaking dark.

Gotcha!

Babylon 5?

I made it!

Now all I have to do
is go down to Epsilon 3

or get Zathras up here.

Not sure which
is more annoying.

Okay, not good.

...civilians
and ambassadorial staff first.

Repeating,
this is a general evacuation.

All station personnel
and residents
report immediately

to shuttle bays
one through nine,

civilians and
ambassadorial staff first...

What's going on?

Where's Captain Lochley?

Lochley? I don't know
what you're talking about!

We have to get out of here!
They're coming through!

If Lochley's not in charge,
then who is?

This is Commander
Jeffrey Sinclair of Babylon 5.

We are under attack
and evacuating all hands.

We urgently request assistance
from any ships in this sector

to pick up survivors.

Long range
comm systems destroyed.

Did the distress signal
get out?

I think so.

Keep resending
on short range

as long as we can.

We need to get
everyone off-station.

Don't tell me. Tell them.

Here they come.
Form up!

Alpha Squad, watch your six.

Weapons aren't getting through.

We need to get
up close and personal.
Follow me in!

How much time do we have?

Not much. Shadow vessels
are taking us out three-to-one.

We've got breaching pods
all over the hull.

If they break through
to the shuttle bays

before we finish getting
everyone out of here...

Then we have to make sure
that doesn't happen.

Garibaldi, meet me at Bay One.

Bring anyone
who's willing to stay behind.

Copy that.

-Jeff...
-Don't worry about me.

Do what you have to.

Just get our people
out of here.

That means you too, Susan.

Get to the shuttles.
I'll run things from here.

That's an order! Go!

Everything ends.

I'm not afraid.

Bring it.

This is Commander
Jeffrey Sinclair of Babylon 5.

We are under attack
and evacuating all hands.

We urgently request assistance
from any ships in this sector

to pick up survivors.

This is Babylon 5.

We are under attack
and request assistance

from any ships in this sector.

Sir! We have an intruder!

Whoever you are,
you picked the wrong time
to stow away.

I'm not a... I'm Earthforce.

Not the uniform.

Retired. But--

Enemy is in blue sector.
Thirty seconds.

You've got 20 seconds, Mr.--

-Sheridan.
-Use them well.

I got hit by a Tachyon field,

came unstuck in time and space.

Fifteen seconds.

I ran B5 during the Shadow War,

but if you're in charge
during all this,

then this must be some kind
of a alternate timeline.

Doesn't matter.

We have to get our people out

or they'll end up just as dead

in this timeline
as they'd be in yours.

-And so will you.
-Yeah, I kind of figured.

You know how
to handle one of these?

Of course I know how to.

Do you know
what a last stand is?

Yes.

Good. Because
you just joined one.

Since you fought
these things before,

is there any way we can stop
them at close quarters?

They're a million years
ahead of us.

Was that a no?

That was a no.

Here they come.

Splash two.

Good going, Alpha Seven.

Let's make another pass.

No!

This is Babylon 5.

We are under attack.

We need ships
to pick up survivors.

Please.

If you can hear my voice,
we need help...

to save them.

They're coming through!

Repeat, they're coming through.

This is Earth Alliance Station
Babylon 5.

They're all over the place.

They're killing us.

Can anyone hear me?

C and C...
This is Bay Nine.

The last shuttle is away.

We got them out, but...

No rescue ships in range.

No ships.

Jump gate destroyed.

No one nearby
who can pick up the shuttles.

They'll be sitting ducks.

If they die, we die.

You die!

Ivanova! Ivanova! Reply!

I think she just did.

Susan's right.

Once the Shadows
take the station,

they'll turn around
and destroy the shuttle,

killing everyone
before help can show up.

Well, we can slow them down.
But that's all.

No. There is something else.

The power core.

Their ships
are circling the station,

right in the blast range.

We blow the core,
we can take out all of them

and buy time
for help to arrive.

I know how to do it.

So do I.

Your people
don't know who I am.

They won't fight for me,
but they'll fight for you.

I'll get it done.

We'll hold them off
as long as we can.

Nice guy. What was his name?

Don't remember.

Missed one. Damn it!

I just hope the default
admin codes are the same

or I'm gonna look
pretty stupid.

Admin codes
accepted.

Override safety protocols.

Confirmation required.

Override all
fusion reactor safeties?

Confirmed.

Activate destruct sequence.

- Destruct sequence?
- Yes.

Are you
feeling all right?

I'm fine.

This isn't just one of those,

"I'm having a bad day" things?

No. Just do it.

Confirmed. Specify time-delay
countdown to destruct.

None.

To ensure
intentional destruct,

final activation
must be entered
in correct sequence.

You couldn't have put them
a little closer together?

We are all victims
of our programming.

I told you I had him
in my sights.

Freezing his neurons
was quite unnecessary.

Yeah, well,
squeezing his brains

made me feel a lot better
about what's com--

I know what you're doing.

How?

I'm a telepath. I...

You know me,
or a version of me.

Then you know
I have to reach that switch.

We will stand with you.

Also, run with you.

That too.

Oh!

Go!

No. No, not now.

The survivors,
they have to get clear.

Many of them are my people.

Do not fear.
We will get it done.

Shall we?

May as well. I missed
the last shuttle out,

and I am totally in a mood
to blow some stuff up.

G'Kar!

Can you...

Not like this.

I think this is gonna take
both of us.

It has been an honor...
to fight beside you.

Ugh! Just help me
pull the damn switch.

Ah!

Ah!

What are you... doing here?

I made it.

I made it back
to my own timeline.

Made what?

Aren't you supposed
to be on Minbar?

I have a lot to explain
and not much time.

So I'm gonna talk really fast

and you're gonna fire up
a shuttle. Right now!

Um, can I get dressed first?

Oh.

Oh, sorry. I didn't... I...

I didn't even... Right, right.

I'll just wait
in the other room, then.

I'm all right.

This is Captain
Elizabeth Lochley,

to anyone
receiving on Epsilon 3.

This is an emergency.

We are on approach vector.

President Sheridan is with me.

Kindly do not shoot us down

until we have had a chance
to explain the situation.

And don't shoot us
down afterward.

Basically just don't
shoot us down, okay?

What? No, shoot?

Not today, pal.

Nuts, fine. Retract.

You know, I've never met
Zathras before.

I'm kind of excited
by the idea.

Yeah? Well, that won't last.

Ah! Ah!

There you are being!

Hello, Zathras.

No, not Zathras.

Zathras.

There are nine of them
all named Zathras.

Ah, ah, ah! Zathras.

And you are the One!

-Hi. I'm--
-Not the One.

This way. Hurry.

Can I hit him? Just once.

Told you.

Things change since
first Zathras met the One.

Now he is lost in time.

And lost in sp--

Ah! Do not say.

Even now,
many issues with copyright.

So there are still
nine of you left,
is that correct?

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Great Machine
Replication System

has been very busy.

Behold...

the Zathrii!

Much greetings
to the One!

And some greetings to
not the One.

Shoot me.

Shoot me now.

You are
in grave danger.

Delenn! No!

Run! Run!

No!

Not only is the One
unstuck in time,

and... the thing
we cannot mention,

you are moving
between timelines,

universes, realities.

Yeah. That part I figured out.

How is that dangerous?

Not just to you, to everything.

Quantum physics says,

"Observer affects
the observed."

Particle is only particle
when you are looking at it.

Look away, it becomes a wave.

Look back,
it turns back into particle.

So, like any relationship,
particles can't commit.

-She came with you, you know.
-I needed a ride.

Get to the point.

Great Machine shows

you are now
quantum perspective.

You are now observer.

The more realities you see,

the more that become
real to you,

the more they will collapse
into each other,

destroying each other
as they try to become one.

Soon, all worlds gone.

All timelines gone.

All realities gone.
All universes gone.

All Zathrii gone.

Bad for Zathras.

But all things bad for Zathras.

You have heard of big bang?

Yes.

This will be big silence.

The end of all.

You know, I just came here
for a time-stabilizer, right?

Time-stabilizer not enough.

Must stabilize you in time,
space and reality.

Requires big upgrade
from Great Machine.

Vast new technology.

How long will this take?

Ten minutes.

This is why
we call it Great Machine.

Not so-so machine.

Ah, Zathras make coffee
while Zathras wait for Zathras.

Why is it that
most of the alternate realities
I've been in so far

have had something to do
with the Shadow War?

Quantum probabilities bend
to your quantum perspective.

Shadow War
was great part of your life.

You are drawn to what you feel.

Drawn by your heart.

Like my dad. Home.

Babylon 5. My friends?

Yes.

Zathras has no friends.

Only slow-moving insects
and pocket lint.

Here, Zathras show you.

No, not so soon.

Try to stay calm.

Agitation makes jump faster.

That thing.

I saw it before.

Following me.

Stay back!

Ah, no, stay calm.
Try to hold on.

Do not panic.

Do not panic.

It is... It is...

No one
listens to Zathras.

Okay, definitely back on Earth.

But where is everyone?

Hello?

Anyone there?

Over here,
Captain Sheridan.

Out of uniform, I see.
Good. Here, join us.

I thought you were dead.

Yeah, I get that a lot.

Just one Centauri's opinion,

but if this is you post-death,
I must say it suits you.

Last we heard,
your shuttle was destroyed

while trying to make contact
with the Vorlons,

in what I correctly said
would be a futile attempt

to talk them out of what's
going to happen in... In what?

Two minutes, 47 seconds.

What's going to happen?

Where'd everybody go?

Depends on where
they want to be at the end.

Most of them
are home, I expect.

With loved ones
or at other places

that meant something
to them in life.

You know in churches,
shopping malls, bowling alleys.

Bars, casinos.

We toured many of them
in the last few hours,

since we learned
we could not leave the planet

without being destroyed.

"Go to Earth,"
the Centarum said.

Make a deal.

Perhaps there's a way
you can save both our worlds.

Idiots.

Now I'm trapped here.

But I suppose I had to try.

Will someone here
start making sense?

He's in denial or shock.

I don't blame him.

Where is the bartender?

Losing the Shadow War
wasn't your fault, you know.

You did everything you could.

Even with the Vorlons,

the odds were
always against us.

We... Wait. We lost the war?

The Shadows won?

Look, you can see a thought
forming behind his eyes.

Hello, little one.

Good of you to join us.

It's all alone in there,
poor thing.

Because the Vorlons
were our allies,

no one counted on them

being the ones
to finish us off.

But it makes sense.

For centuries here at home,

losing armies burned crops
and poisoned wells

as they retreated to make sure
the winners couldn't use them.

The Shadow influence
on Earth is significant.

Hmph and the Vorlons
are very sore losers.

Destroying worlds
that are sympathetic

to the Shadows
is a good move for them.

For Centauri Prime,
for Earth, for us, not so much.

But it's
an imperfect universe, yes.

They're going to destroy Earth?

And they're not even
going to fire a shot.

Apparently, they think
you're not worth the bullet.

At the moment, I concur.

Right now,
up there somewhere...

a Vorlon planet killer
is moving into position.

It takes a lot of raw power

to tear apart a planet
as big as the Earth.

So they decided
to use something

that will take less energy

because it's only
one-fourth the size...

The Moon.

Oh, my God, they're going
to hit us with the Moon.

Got it in one.

Well,
on the positive side,

at least we have a good view
of the show, eh, Sheridan?

I said--

Stay! Stay back!

Stay back!

John!

Well, there's something
you don't see every day.

What is it you humans say?

Oh, yes.

"Eight ball
in the corner pocket."

Ow.

It's getting worse every time.

Not sure how much longer
I have before...

What the hell is this?

And where did the stars go?

You look like someone
in need of a friend, friend.

G'Kar?

If that is who you see,
then, yes.

So what is this place?

The edge... of everything.

On that side... nothingness.

Silence, the void.

On that side... everything.

-The Rim.
-One of many names for it.

The last time I saw G'Kar,

my G'Kar, he was heading
for the Rim to find out

what was on the other side.

He did.

Is he alive?

Dead?

He is as I am.

As we are.

And we wished to meet you
at the Rim.

On the precipice of the end
of all things.

If I'm that dangerous,
why not kill me?

That would go against
the purpose of all this.

Against the great experiment.

Consciousness.

Without that,
there can be no purpose.

If a universe springs
into existence

and no one is there to see it,

to think about it,
to give it meaning,

does it really exist?

This cannot be what it must be
without someone to see it.

Quantum physics, "The observer
affects the observed."

Without the observer,
there cannot be the observed.

That is the secret.

The missing piece.

For now, you are that observer.

And if I die...

Everything dies.

Yes.

The Minbari believed
the universe is conscious.

That it looks through us.

So it can try
and figure itself out.

To give itself meaning.

Yes, an infinity of eyes
and minds and hearts,

turned toward
one singular question,

one riddle to end all riddles,

one word.

Which is?

"Why."

They also believe

that while the universe
usually speaks through us

at other times it takes
a more direct approach.

Do they?

Do they really?

Consciousness
must make its own way,

find its own path
without interference.

Only in this way
can the child
outshine the parent.

If I intervene, the experiment

is rendered meaningless,

as am I.

So I will say only this...

In all realities,
all universes,

the everything of everything,

there is no greater force
than love.

Tearing apart is easy.

Destruction and hate are easy.

Which is why
they do not endure.

What love knits together
can never be torn asunder.

The universe itself
and all things within it

bend to that power.

As you say,

"The observer
affects the observed."

And when that eye
sees through love,

everything is possible.

That is all I came to say.

I hope it is enough.

But I have so many questions.

And that is the glory
and wonder of mortality.

I can't take much more of this.

Huh?

Lennier. Lennier.

I... Yes?

I need you to help me.

Of course.

Because I don't feel so good.

Water.

What year is it?

147,923 by the Obadi calendar.

No, not Minbari years.

I'm in no shape
to do the conversion.

Same with
Celsius and Fahrenheit.

And why do we still have
to use those anyway?

Here, this will
make you feel better.

Yeah, I wouldn't bet on it.

I should call security.

I just need a moment.

I'll be fine once
the room stops spinning.

But the station spins
constantly to produce gravity.

Wrong time to mention that.

I want it on the record.

I did not touch him.

And I knew
he could not be you

because I had just said
goodbye to you

at the transport tube--

Oh, my head.

Yo, he's awake.

You, uh, better take a look.

Good morning.

This just gets
better and better.

Alternate realities.

Of course, there'd
be an alternate me.

So who are you supposed to be?

I'm you.

Me. A different version of you.

Or you're a different version
of me or... It's a long story.

How much time do you have?

Go for it.

Nope.
Don't believe a word of it.

But then I don't have to.

She's here.

-You briefed her?
-A story, this complex.

I longed her.

Fair enough. Lyta, this man--

If it's even human.

...is either a madman, a spy,

an assassin
here to take my place,

or he's telling the truth.

Take a peek inside his head
and tell me

what's what
and who's who.

I'll try.

Do you consent to the scan?

Yes.

This might feel a little funny.

-Well?
-He's telling the truth.

He even met an alternate
reality version of me.

Apparently I died bravely.

Okay, now, listen.

-We need to--
-And there's something else.

Something in his mind
about a Shadow War.

Yes.

What's that?

The Shadow War?

You never...
You never had the Shadow War?

How long have you been
in charge of B5?

Coming up
on two years now. Why?

And nothing?

What nothing?

Interplanetary expeditions
went to a world off the charts,

woke up an entire civilization.

IPX went out of business
ten years ago.

Then... Then they
never went to Z'ha--

Z'ha... what?

Boom.

Z'ha'boom?

You heard me.

-What kind of name is that?
-Not my department.

And right now
it's not important.

If I jump one more time,

it might be the last time
for everyone.

So what do we do?

-Contact Zathras.
-Who?

Zathras.

He works for the Great Machine
on Epsilon 3.

Look, whoever you are,

if there was anybody
named Zathras living

on Epsilon 3
or a Great Machine,

we'd know about it by now.

Sheridan, go.

Captain,
we have a ship

requesting permission to dock.

It's... I know
this is going to sound crazy,

but it's from Epsilon 3.

He said his name is Zathras.

Works for the Great Machine.

Ah. Yeah,
no one listen to Sheridan.

We'll meet him at Bay 9 in ten.

Better make it five.

Hurry! Not much time!

Sheridan to Ivanova.

Stop all incoming traffic.

We've got a situation.

Copy that.

How...

How did you follow me?

Zathras did not follow.

I am different Zathras.

All Zathrii united.
across time and space.

We use
quantum communications system.

Keep in touch.
Write on birthdays.

In one reality,

we are considered
very handsome.

The stars there
are not very bright.

Here. Here.

Take stabilizer. Quickly!

Press red button.

It's not doing anything.

You are final component.

Quantum observer.
Must sense your way back.

Focus on what you were thinking
when first shift happened.

Stephen said the same thing.

But I don't remember.

Zathras thinks you do,
and so does she.

I was thinking about Delenn.

I thought about you, and Mom.

And how much
I loved you,
and this place,

and it was like
I could feel
which way to go.

I followed that feeling
all the way home.

I was thinking about
how much I love my wife.

How all I wanted
was to hold her again.

One more time.

Not knowing
where you were

or where you were going
on quantum scale

made it impossible
to find way home.

You are so far off course

that you cannot find
your way back alone.

But you are not alone.

When she came to us,
we told her great danger.

But she insisted...

So we made two.

She has been chasing you

across time and space
ever since.

Never giving up.
Never surrendering.

He said, "Love is the most

powerful force
in the universe."

Love is all.

Come home to me, John.

I'm here, John.

I'm here. I love you.

I love you so much.

I love you!

And...

I'm...

coming...

home.

Let's go.

Still the One.

I should go.

Ho.

We need to talk.

You should have
seen it, Ambassador.

The raw power
of creation itself.

Right there in front of us.

For a minute,
I thought we were done for.

But then he said,

"Love is the most
powerful force
in the universe,"

and the next thing you know,
they're gone.

He's not wrong.

Love is a powerful thing.

To follow him
through time and space,

putting her own life at risk.

Sounds like someone
I'd like to meet someday.

Well, perhaps you shall.

Only one thing puzzling me.

He talked about
this whole Shadow thing.

Z'ha'boom.

That mean anything to you?

No, I'm sure it's nothing.

Hmm. Maybe so.

Captain Sheridan.

How long until the bays
are cleared for launch?

-I have to get going.
-Hey, so do I.

And my reasons
are twice as important as his.

Repairs are almost finished.
Any time now.

Why are you always so hostile?

I'm not hostile,
just relentlessly self-aware.

- Nine of clubs?
- No.

Queen of Diamonds?

No.

-Ace of--
-No.

Perhaps you're
not projecting hard enough.

I am projecting at full P5!

That's not the problem.

The problem is,
telepathy requires two minds.

Sorry?

Nothing. Nothing.

Keep going.

Ten of spades.

Someone, please kill me.

Ugh. Don't you have
somewhere else to be?

No.

My people will not rest
until the Centauri apologize

for the attack
on our shipping lines

and pay reparations.

Madness!

Dr. Franklin, good.
I have a rather ugly growth

that needs to be removed.
It's standing beside me.

Talk to the wrist,
the hand's not listening.

-Mr. Garibaldi?
-Another time, Londo.

Ugh. Whatever that is,
it belongs on a leash.

You think the whole world
belongs on a leash.

Ah. That's fair.

So we're agreed.
You're gonna bring us
down there

and show us the Great Machine.

-And meet other Zathras.
-Right.

Other Zathras.

No, not Zathras. Zathras.

This is Commander
Susan Ivanova of Babylon 5.

We apologize
for the delay in transmission.

But sometimes life
gets in the way of things.

Bays are cleared
for launch and docking.

Babylon 5 is back online,
and we're here to stay.

Let's go.
