- <p>
- There's a bright flash of light as Sinclair's flashforward begins.
-
- <p>
- There's a brief shot of Sinclair, standing in what appears to be a corridor
- on Babylon 5. He's wearing battle gear, and looks as if he's already been
- through a big fight. We hear Garibaldi yelling, "Commander!"
-
- <p>
- This then cuts to a flash of fire, which dissapates quickly, revealing
- another person in Earth Force battle gear, in addition to a heavy helmet.
- He is wielding a flame thrower. He fires again, toward a target that is
- behind and to the left of the camera.
-
- <p>
- Cut to Garibaldi, also in battle gear. He has several wounds on his face.
- He's got a shoulder strap that appears to be attached to a heavy weapon,
- which is out of view. Garibaldi is still yelling for the Commander. There
- are also other men with a weapons around, although we don't see any faces
- on screen. One walks in front of the camera.
-
- <p>
- Cut to a corridor. A fire is burning in the foreground. There are a
- number of panicing people running through the corridor. Several others are
- along the sides of the corridor, firing away from us.
-
- <p>
- Cut to a shot of an unidentified man in EA battle gear firing a heavy
- plasma weapon. The camera pans right, showing another, similarly
- unidentified man in the same battle gear, firing a similar weapon.
-
- <p>
- Cut to a view of a wall. The wall is being cut through, as with a blow
- torch, from the otherside. It appears to be cutting a rectangular shaped
- door. There is nothing else in the shot to show what size a hole it is.
-
- <p>
- Cut to Sinclair and Garibaldi, standing next to each other. People are
- running accross in front of them. Garibaldi says, "They've burned through
- levels seven and eight. Can't stop them. They're everywhere." Sinclair,
- somewhat out of breath, says, "Garibaldi," as if there's something he has
- to tell him. We hear more firing and sirens in the background. Garibaldi
- continues, "Look, I've rigged the fusion reactors. There's not much time."
- The camera shot widens, showing a longer corridor, with
- more panicked people. We see the weapon that Garibaldi is wielding is a
- very large bazooka looking thing, several feet long. "Get going, I'll hold
- 'em as long as I can." Sinclair mumbles, "No-" Garibaldi quickly reponds,
- "Look, come on, this isn't a conversation. Jeff... it's OK, I
- finally understand. This is the moment I was born for. Now go. Go."
- There is a flash "GO!" Sinclair is carried away in a mob of people. He's
- yelling "Wait! Wait!"
-
- <p>
- We see the door that was being cut before, it has been completed.
- Something on the other side punches out the door with three quick blows.
- As the metal falls away, we see only a bright light from the other side.
- Garibaldi yells, "He's coming through!"
-
- <p>
- Cut back to the same corridor as earlier, with troops firing away from us.
- There still is no enemy in sight. As the continue to fire, they retreat
- back towards us.
-
- <p>
- Cut to Garibaldi, who turns, and begins firing his weapon, apparantly in
- support of others. As he fires off multiple shots in quick succession, we
- get a close-up of his face. There is real anger there, as opposed to the
- expressions of pure survival on the other faces we have seen. He yells,
- "Take that! How 'bout you, how bout you! Take some, take some, take
- some!" (or something to that effect)
-
- <p>
- Cut to Sinclair, still carried off by a mob of people, futilly waving to
- Garibaldi. He yells, "Wait, Garibaldi!"
-
- <p>
- There is another flash, as the flashforward ends. The entire scene takes
- 47 seconds.
