Babylon 5: The River of Souls Page #8

...as you have achieved here

through the holograms.

And then later,

we can invite others to come...

...and allow you to express yourselves

through them.

Allow you to...

...see an open sky again.

Allow you to feel the ground

under your feet again...

...until that day when we will

release you permanently.

I know that my order

will set this mistake right...

...once they understand

they have made a mistake.

Once we make them understand.

And until that time...

...I offer myself freely...

...as a symbol of our sincerity.

You have the power

to take me inside and prove to all...

...that you are highly developed,

living souls...

...who were cut off at the moment

of your supreme evolution.

And once my soul joins yours...

...you will know instantly

that I am telling the truth...

...and you will have

good reason to trust us.

I beg you...

...give us this opportunity

to correct our mistake.

Let my soul be a bridge between us

until that day when you shall be released.

Let the death of this body...

...be your only remaining vengeance...

...and let my soul be a doorway of hope.

You took her...

...now take me.

No. Wait.

Wait! Let's see if they believed him.

Doesn't matter. If they didn't,

we're dead in two minutes.

- Let's move in!

- Stand down from red alert.

Reactor levels have returned to normal.

He's still alive.

Security to Medlab.

We need a trauma team in Grey 4, stat.

On their way, chief.

I never knew the name of the other one

from your order who came.

He never told me.

I don't even know if you have names.

All I know is that he gave

his promise and his life...

...to protect you and this place...

...and the billion minds

trapped inside this thing.

Make sure the promise he made

on your behalf is kept...

...or I promise you,

the hunters will become the hunted.

I'll do whatever it takes to make sure

that his sacrifice was not in vain.

The mind sees what it needs to see.

The soul sees what the soul sees.

Off.

Well, at least that's over.

- I hope they can find a solution.

- I think they'll get there, eventually.

But it's gonna take a long time.

They've waited 10,000 years.

What's another few hundred?

Lieutenant Corwin tells me

you'll be leaving in a short time.

I've gotta get back to Mars.

We have a ton of these...

...leftover black projects to investigate.

- What about Bryson?

- He's still disoriented.

Not that he was stable to begin with,

but they think he'll be all right.

You know, the amazing thing is,

after all this...

...he still wants to search

for the secret of life eternal...

...with or without financing.

I can think of less worthy goals.

I just hope he comes up

with something quieter next time.

Have a good trip back, Michael.

I will see you when I see you.

In about a month.

I've got business in the area...

...so I figured I'd swing by,

take a few days off...

...check out the old digs.

It'll be great to hang out again.

It'll be like the old days.

I'll see you.

Shoot me. Shoot me now.

Captain Lochley.

Mr. Riley. So good to see you.

- I was beginning to miss our little talks.

- Oh, gosh. Me too.

However, my client has informed me that,

in light of recent events...

...involving your wanton acts

of destruction...

...we are now prepared

to bring not only civil...

...but also criminal charges against you.

- For what?

- For...?

- You blew up the man's business.

- Oh, that.

Well, Mr. Riley, in that case,

I suggest you revisit his lease.

You did read it, didn't you?

- Of course.

- Well, then...

...you missed section seven, clause four,

which states quite clearly...

...that Babylon 5 and myself

are not liable for damages...

...resulting from military action.

- Oh, that was completely unjustified.

- I have a couple of dozen...

...security personnel engaged in combat

who would disagree with you.

In fact, already have.

- What's this?

- Depositions by all those involved...

...supporting my use of force

and the nature of the combat.

Further, since all prior charges

were centered around...

...the condition of the

"entertainment center"...

...and the ability of said business

to operate freely...

...the destruction of your client's office

makes this discussion moot.

- Oh, just a minute...

- Now...

...I'm sure you could choose to contest this,

then we get into...

...the illegal use of my image

by your client's holobrothel...

...which would require a countersuit

and I doubt very much...

...you'd win that one, counselor.

- Captain...

...do you really expect me to go back

to my client with nothing?

Absolutely not.

Here.

You can have this.

I find it very useful

in times of great stress.

Go ahead. It was a gift to me

from a friend, so now I'm giving it to you...

...with a few minor modifications.

I'm an idiot.

I'm a loser.

No one likes me.

My mommy dresses me funny.

Zack was right.

There is a heaven.
