								   President Santiago has decided to visit Babylon 5, ostensibly in order
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   to present a new fighter wing to the station (though some people
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   believe his real purpose is to drum up popular support for his new
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   alien trade and immigration policies, which have met with opposition
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   in the Senate).

							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   [INLINE] The Presidential cruiser.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Ivanova and Garibaldi are en route to the president's arrival site on
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   B5, and they are discussing the president's arrival. Ivanova tells
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Garibaldi that the president and his staff have not informed B5
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   command of their travel plans because the president feels it's safe if
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   nobody is aware of these plans till the last minute (though Garibaldi
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   jokes that, if B5 is unaware of the president's plans, the president's
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   staff can blame B5 if anything goes wrong). Garibaldi feels that the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   president's visit is simply a waste of time and money; Ivanova
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   responds that at least they're getting a new fighter wing out of the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   visit. Garibaldi is not grateful--he explains that B5 should have had
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   those fighters a long time ago. Ivanova shares in the cynicism--now,
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   B5 will have to renovate bays that haven't been maintained for years,
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   using untrained crews rushed for time--and all of this at B5's
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   expense. When Garibaldi claims he's no longer surprised by anything
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   the government does (he's come to expect it), Ivanova compliments him
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   on his very "Russian" outlook.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Suddenly, there is an explosion in the bay. Garibaldi and Ivanova are
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   almost injured, and Sinclair, from the observation dome, sees a body
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   in a spacesuit fly away from the station.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Down in the Med Lab, Franklin has diagnosed the person who flew out of
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   the station--he flew out of the bay before the pressurization doors
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   were activated. When Sinclair asks if the patient can say anything,
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Franklin replies that any procedure that could be used to rouse the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   patient would kill him. Garibaldi, meanwhile, has finished his
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   evaluation of the damage ("You can put what's left of [the bay] in a
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   shot glass," he tells Sinclair). Garibaldi still doesn't know what the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   cause of the explosion was, but he feels it was probably caused by
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   negligence or fatigue on the part of the overworked crew. Sinclair
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   asks about the possibility of sabotage, and though Garibaldi claims he
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   never rules that possibility out, he feels that the inexperience and
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   possible exhaustion of the crew was "inviting an accident."
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Ivanova reports that Major Lianna Kemmer, an official on the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   president's security staff, has arrived. Kemmer requests an immediate
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   briefing on the explosion. Garibaldi, when he hears Lianna's name,
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   becomes lost in thought--he explains to Sinclair that he knew Lianna
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   seventeen years ago (her father was his friend). "She's a real sweet
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   kid," comments Garibaldi.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   [INLINE] Lianna Kemmer.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   The meeting between Garibaldi and Lianna is somewhat cold, however.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Lianna largely ignores Garibaldi and introduces herself to Sinclair.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Sinclair comments that Garibaldi will brief her on the situation, but
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   she requests that her own team handle the investigation. Sinclair is
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   reluctant, but because Lianna, as chief of presidential security, has
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   the legal authority to take over the investigation ("with or without
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   your permission," she comments. "I would much rather my report
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   reflected full cooperation on your part). Sinclair hesitantly agrees
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   (after Garibaldi bitterly tells him to let Lianna take over the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   investigation), and Garibaldi moves away bruskly, commenting that he
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   has "better things to do."
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Sinclair follows Garibaldi out and asks what the problem is between
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Garibaldi and Lianna. Garibaldi is hesitant to answer, but Sinclair
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   feels that if their relationship affects B5, Sinclair has a right to
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   know. Abruptly, Ambassador G'Kar interrupts them--he has a problem
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   with the seating arrangements for the president's banquet ("The entire
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Narn delegation has been seated next to the Vree," says G'Kar. "An
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   intolerable situation! Have you ever seen them eat? That's horror for
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   you.... This is a deliberate slap in the face to the entire Narn
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Regime.")
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Meanwhile, Garibaldi, who had walked away slightly after G'Kar
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   interrupted his conversation with Sinclair, has caught a thief trying
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   to steal something. He begins angrily yelling at the thief (whom he
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   has caught several times before in the past month), and when he treats
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   the thief somewhat violently, a fight erupts between the two. Sinclair
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   interrupts G'Kar in order to break up the fight.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 |

							 | 
							
								   [INLINE] Garibaldi accosts the thief.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Later, Sinclair and Garibaldi are eating together, and Sinclair asks
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Garibaldi what is wrong. Garibaldi finally comments that seventeen
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   years ago, he was working as a security officer on Europa ("a real
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   cesspool," he claims). "Ever try and uphold the law when nobody cares?
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   After a few weeks, I started drinking hard just to get through the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   night." Eventually, Garibaldi met Frank Kemmer, Lianna's father.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Kemmer was a shuttle pilot--"a real decent guy." Garibaldi explains
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   that when his job got tough, he spent some time with Kemmer and his
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   family--this is when he first met Lianna, who used to call him "Uncle
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Mike." "With all the madness, [staying with Kemmer] kept me sane and
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   sober for a while," Garibaldi explains. However, as Garibaldi was
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   beginning to have a certain amount of success upholding the law, he
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   ended up making a few enemies. Garibaldi knew that some people were
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   trying to kill him, but he also felt that he could handle it.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Unfortunately, his enemies worked indirectly: they exploded one of
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Kemmer's shuttles, thereby killing Kemmer. They blamed the explosion
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   on Garibaldi's negligence. Since the government didn't want a scandal,
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   they kept the situation quiet and "blackballed" Garibaldi throughout
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   the system. "But none of that was as bad as telling Frank's family
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   what had happened. Lianna didn't even cry; she just died inside... I
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   crawled back into the bottle, and didn't come out again for a long,
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   long time." Suddenly, Dr. Franklin calls Sinclair into the Med Lab.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   At the Med Lab, Lianna and her staff have violated Franklin's wishes
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   and are trying to rouse the explosion victim in order to try to get
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   information from him. When Sinclair arrives, the victim has already
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   been roused, and he claims that the explosion was no accident--it was
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   caused by a bomb. Sinclair orders Kemmer to leave the patient
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   alone--for Franklin feels that any procedure to rouse the patient will
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   kill him--but Lianna refuses. Just as the victim dies, he names the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   person who planted the bomb: "It was Garibaldi."
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Major Kemmer has called a hearing in response to the allegation
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   against Garibaldi. Garibaldi, however, cannot believe that Kemmer and
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   the rest of the president's staff are placing so much importance in
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   the accusations of a dying man. Garibaldi claims that the victim "had
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   it in for me" -- that is, he resented Garibaldi because Garibaldi had
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   arrested him a few months ago for "trashing an alien shop." Further,
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Garibaldi argues that the initial damage reports showed no trace of a
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   bomb, but Kemmer contends that the explosion may have destroyed any
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   traces of it. Lieutenant Cutter, a member of Kemmer's staff, adds that
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   perhaps no bomb was found because Garibaldi didn't *want* to find one.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   This accusation angers Garibaldi, but Kemmer doesn't seem to care--she
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   asks Sinclair to suspend Garibaldi from duty because of Garibaldi's
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   possible criminal involvement. Though Sinclair doesn't want to suspend
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Garibaldi, Kemmer -- as head of presidential security -- effectively
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   *orders* Sinclair to carry out the suspension. Sinclair, who has
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   little choice but to submit to Kemmer's legal authority, is forced to
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   remove Garibaldi from active duty. Major Kemmer, now that Garibaldi
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   has been removed from duty, temporarily assumes the position of B5
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   security chief.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Garibaldi, upon returning to his quarters, is confronted by a security
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   officer who refuses to allow Garibaldi entry. Major Kemmer and
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Lieutenant Cutter arrive, and Garibaldi pleads with Kemmer to allow
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   him to speak with her. When he moves to grab Kemmer in order to speak
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   with her, however, the security guard roughly forces him to withdraw
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   his grasp. Kemmer orders Cutter to leave and see what the scanning
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   team has discovered concerning the explosion in the bay; she then
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   dismisses the other security guard so that she and Garibaldi can be
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   alone.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Once they are alone, Garibaldi explains to Lianna that he "loved Frank
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   like he was my own brother." Lianna angrily tells him that Frank died
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   because Garibaldi was concerned only with protecting himself, but
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Garibaldi denies this. He admits that he "made a mistake," but he
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   claims that he would never have let Frank die to save himself. When he
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   pleads with her and asks her to believe him, she replies that it's too
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   late for Garibaldi to ask to be trusted: "I might [believe you], if
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   you had told me then, but you just got drunk and ran, like you always
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   do," she says. Cutter has meanwhile returned, and he informs Kemmer
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   that the explosion was indeed caused by a bomb, for the burns of the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   victim (the one who originally implicated Garibaldi) showed traces of
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   certain explosives. Cutter also informs Kemmer that schematics of the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   bay, as well as substantial amounts of Centauri currency, has been
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   found in Garibaldi's quarters. Garibaldi again tries to reason with
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Kemmer: "Come on, Lianna, this is a frame. If I were guilty, why would
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   I leave the evidence in my own quarters?" he asks.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   "Maybe you just made another mistake, just like you did seventeen
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   years ago," replies Kemmer, who orders Cutter to take Garibaldi into
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   custody. Garibaldi, however, who is angered by the whole situation,
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   runs away and attempts to escape Cutter. Kemmer orders her security
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   officers after Garibaldi and posts a stationwide security alert for
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Garibaldi.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   [INLINE] Garibaldi makes his escape.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   On the observation dome, Ivanova and Sinclair are surprised to see an
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   alert against Garibaldi. Sinclair orders Ivanova to cancel the alert,
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   but Kemmer--who has just arrived at the observation dome--tells
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Sinclair that he can't cancel the alert because there is now hard
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   evidence that Garibaldi is a saboteur. Sinclair responds angrily to
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Kemmer and tells her that "Garibaldi is many things but he's no
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   saboteur"; further, Sinclair tells Kemmer that he is quite annoyed
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   with her personal vendetta against Garibaldi. Sinclair again orders
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Ivanova to cancel the alert, and Ivanova gladly complies with the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   order. Kemmer responds that if Sinclair keeps "obstructing" her, she
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   will have no choice but to invoke presidential authority; however,
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Sinclair tells Kemmer that he's tired of "presidential authority"
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   excuse. "This is my station, and it's time you realized that," says
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Sinclair. Sinclair proceeds to order Ivanova to escort Kemmer off the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   observation dome. Ivanova gladly complies with this order as well
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   ("You are going to resist, I hope," she tells Kemmer). After Kemmer
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   leaves, Ivanova warns Sinclair that Kemmer will probably contact Earth
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Central; Sinclair says he's aware of that, but at least the delay will
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   buy him enough time to find Garibaldi before Kemmer's staff does.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Ivanova suddenly has an idea: she smugly orders the B5 staff to begin
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   a "Level 6 maintenance check" on all off-station communication
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   channels--a move which will tie up the communication channels for
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   hours.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Garibaldi has discreetly moved down to the Zocalo, where he seeks out
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Londo. He tells Londo that he is looking for information about the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   explosion in the bay. He explains that someone tried to frame him by
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   planting substantial amounts of currency in his quarters; he then
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   explains that the currency was Centauri. Londo picks up the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   implication, and stares with feigned disbelief at Garibaldi; "Oh, Mr.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Garibaldi, do you really think that I would do such a thing to you, my
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   good and dear friend?"
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   "In a minute," responds Garibaldi.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   "You're right," answers Londo, "but I didn't, though I may have an
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   idea who did...."
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   [INLINE] "Don't turn around."
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Meanwhile, Kemmer angrily contacts Ivanova and asks why all
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   communications channels are offline. Ivanova replies that a
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   communications check is being conducted, for they don't want the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   president to be "out of touch" when he arrives at B5. Kemmer demands
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   that Ivanova open a channel, but Ivanova brushes her off ("I'm a
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   lieutenant commander in Earth Force, major. I do not take 'demands.'
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   If you have a request, I'll consider it," Ivanova says. When Kemmer
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   'requests' that Ivanova open a channel to Earthdome, Ivanova simply
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   denies her request.).
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Kemmer comments to Cutter that Ivanova and Sinclair are "doing
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   everything they can to protect Garibaldi," but Cutter isn't
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   surprised--their files show that Ivanova and Sinclair are Garibaldi's
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   only real friends, aside from Londo Mollari. Kemmer sends Cutter to
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   question Londo; she sends another officer to return to their ship and
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   open a communication channel with Earth Force One (President
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Santiago's ship)--specifically, with General Netter on Earth Force
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   One. Kemmer explains that Earth Force One should be close enough to
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   pick up the signal from Kemmer's ship, which is docked at B5.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Londo, meanwhile, has explained to Garibaldi why he feels that G'Kar
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   is the one who's trying to frame Garibaldi. Londo says that during the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Narn occupation of Ragesh 3, some important scientific material was
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   "lost," but the Narns claimed they could find it again--for the right
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   price. Thus, G'Kar could possibly have had access to large amounts of
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Centauri currency, which he could have planted in Garibaldi's
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   quarters. Garibaldi says that he wants to visit G'Kar. Without his
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   usual security clearance, however, Garibaldi knows that he might have
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   a hard time gaining access to the ambassadorial wing, where G'Kar's
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   quarters are located. Garibaldi therefore asks Londo for a loan;
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Garibaldi claims that, with enough money, he can gain access to the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   ambassadorial wing. Londo appreciates the irony in the situation--he
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   has switched roles with Garibaldi for the time being--but he
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   eventually extends a fairly generous loan to his "good, dear friend."
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Londo explains that he sees certain parallels between himself and
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Garibaldi (Londo feels that, like Londo himself, Garibaldi is
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   sometimes "the odd man out"); it therefore gives him a certain comfort
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   to be able to help Garibaldi in a time of need (however, the more
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   practical side of Londo claims that the Centauri goddess of luck, with
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   whom Londo has had a "long and rather dubious relationship," has been
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   smiling on him lately--he can therefore afford the loan). "If they
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   catch you," warns Londo, "I will deny ever seeing you. Good luck!"
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Garibaldi successfully gains access to the ambassadorial wing; when he
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   arrives at G'Kar's quarters, he's surprised to find that G'Kar has
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   been expecting him ("... you've been talking to Mollari. It was
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   inevitable he would send you to me.... My people watch him; his people
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   watch me; we all watch one another here, Mr. Garibaldi.") G'Kar also
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   explains that the security monitors are "malfunctioning" at the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   moment, so Garibaldi need not worry about the security officers
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   finding him here (especially since G'Kar took the liberty of telling a
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   security guard that he had seen Garibaldi on the next level). G'Kar
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   says that he's sure Londo blamed Garibaldi's present situation on the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Narns; however, he denies any part in the incident (though he admits
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   he doesn't think it's a bad idea). G'Kar offers Garibaldi a chance to
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   escape B5; G'Kar says that Garibaldi's talents and services could be
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   useful on Narn. Once on Narn, if Garibaldi were to ever become
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   "homesick," G'Kar says he's sure the Narns could arrange for Garibaldi
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   to return--as a genetically altered spy. Garibaldi immediately
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   declines G'Kar's offer, however; he refuses to even think about
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   betraying Earth. G'Kar advises Garibaldi to stop seeing things in
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   "such absolute terms" ("The universe is run by the complex
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   interweaving of three elements: energy, matter, and enlightened
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   self-interest. Unless you comprehend that fact--and soon--you will be
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   cornered and caged," warns G'Kar), but Garibaldi still refuses G'Kar's
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   offer. G'Kar makes one last plea: "Without your position, this station
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   is not safe for you. You have made many enemies."
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   "Call it a lifestyle," replies Garibaldi, as he leaves.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   From the observation dome, meanwhile, Ivanova is giving instructions
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   to the new fighter wing, which has just arrived.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Down in the alien sector, Garibaldi is trying to purchase a high-level
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   security card from N'grath, but N'grath refuses because Garibaldi is
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   "still police," even though he's a fugitive. N'grath abruptly forces
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Garibaldi to leave, and when Garibaldi is thrown outside N'grath's
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   doors, he is almost caught by some of Kemmer's guards.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   [INLINE] Garibaldi and n'grath.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   He narrowly escapes and eventually returns to the human sector of B5,
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   only to be attacked by a group of angry aliens. Just when it appears
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   that Garibaldi has no hope left, Sinclair (who has been monitoring
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   security reports concerning Garibaldi's whereabouts) suddenly finds
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   him and helps to fight off the aliens. Sinclair suggests that
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Garibaldi go to Med Lab, but Garibaldi refuses to go anywhere before
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   he figures out who framed him. Ivanova contacts Sinclair and tells him
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   that he has a Gold Channel message from General Netter; meanwhile,
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   when Sinclair turned his head to speak with Ivanova through his comm
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   link, Garibaldi ran off. By the time Sinclair turns around again,
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Garibaldi is gone.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   General Netter's message has come through, and Netter orders Sinclair
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   and his staff to fully cooperate with Kemmar. After Netter ends
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   communication, Sinclair explains to Kemmer that he wants to find
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Garibaldi as much as she does--"the only difference is," says
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Sinclair, "I haven't already judged him.... But the fact is, Garibaldi
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   is as loyal as you are, and if you weren't so twisted up inside about
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   what happened to your father you'd realize that. It's not justice
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   you're after, major, it's blood." Just then, Cutter contacts Kemmer
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   and says that the guards have sighted Garibaldi and have discovered
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   that Garibaldi has been paying for things with Centauri currency.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Kemmer believes that the currency found in Garibaldi's quarters was
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   only part of the payoff; she orders the guards to move in on
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Garibaldi. After Kemmer leaves, Sinclair contacts the security guard
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   who had been stationed outside Garibaldi's quarters when Garibaldi
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   first found that his quarters were being guarded.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Garibaldi, meanwhile, has entered a club. He sits down and suddenly
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   notices that a security guard has moved into the same club. He borrows
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   an alien's hat and tries to avoid notice--and he succeeds, at least
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   for the moment. The guard leaves, and when Garibaldi gives the alien
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   back his hat, the alien replies, "Don't want hat? Take bottle.... I go
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   casino." As the alien gets up, he pushes a bottle of some alcoholic
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   drink toward Garibaldi. Garibaldi fights with himself for a long
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   moment--will he give up the sobriety that he has worked toward for so
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   long? The past few hours have been excruciatingly difficult for
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Garibaldi--how appealing the drink must seem--how easy it is to simply
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   forget about all of his problems.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 |

								   [INLINE] Temptation.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   At last, Garibaldi decides to drink -- and he drinks heavily. Quite
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   soon, he's experiencing quite a hangover--despite his trouble standing
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   up, he is sharing jokes with the aliens, and, in general, parading
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   around the room making a fool of himself. ("You got a real nice place
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   here! Great ambiance, terrific decor, friendly people. Yeah, this
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   place should be on all the chartered tours--'see and experience the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   real Babylon 5.' Hell, in a couple month, I could see a few of you
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   people topside," he mumbles, as he stumbles out the door).
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Meanwhile, one of the people in the restaurant has notified the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   security guards of Garibaldi's whereabouts, and when Garibaldi wanders
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   out of the restaurant, Kemmer, Cutter, and their guards are waiting
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   for him. "Drunk again, Uncle Mike?" asks Lianna. The confused
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Garibaldi remembers how the young Lianna, seventeen years ago, often
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   said the same thing. Kemmer's guards take Garibaldi into custody;
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Cutter, meanwhile, comments that the new fighter wing are getting
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   ready to be launched, and he feels he should check the bays one more
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   time.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Lianna is questioning Garibaldi; she's trying to get him to confess.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   At one point, she confronts him and asks, "You never change, do you,
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Michael?" He replies that he thought he had--until she showed up.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Garibaldi tries to reason with her again. He asks her if she really
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   wants to destroy his life, just as she feels he destroyed hers years
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   ago. "If I could have gone in Frank's place, I would have," says
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Garibaldi. "I didn't know, Lianna. I didn't know."
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Just then, the security officer whom Sinclair contacted earlier
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   arrives at the room where Garibaldi is being interrogated. He explains
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   that Sinclair ordered him to search the explosion victim's
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   quarters--and when he carried out that search, he found a detonator
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   and a few Homeguard pamphlets (the security officer also explains how
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   there had been some trouble with the Homeguard a while ago, and he
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   mentions that Garibaldi cleared it up). Garibaldi says that security
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   had suspected the victim of being a Homeguard member for a long
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   time--but they never could prove it. Garibaldi says that he feels that
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   the victim was killed by a bomb that the victim planted in the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   bay--but the victim was unaware of the use of a plasma driver in the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   bay. Such a plasma unit would have created enough vibration to trigger
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   the bomb prematurely. When Lianna asks about a possible motive,
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Garibaldi explains that the president was planning to announce new
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   alien trade and immigration policies -- policies that the Homeguard
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   would strongly oppose.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Cutter calls in and informs Kemmer that the president is about to
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   arrive for the fighter wing presentation ceremony. Kemmer orders
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Cutter to make sure the bays are secure.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Kemmer admits that she'd like to believe Garibaldi, but she still sees
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   no explanation for how the Centauri currency and the bay schematics
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   got into Garibaldi's quarters. She explains that nobody knew that the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   victim had named Garibaldi except her, Garibaldi, Franklin, and
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Sinclair.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   "And Cutter," remembers Garibaldi. "He was there just when the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   evidence against me was found." Lianna is skeptical, however; she
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   claims that Cutter is one of their best agents. Garibaldi just
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   comments that perhaps the Homeguard was counting on that--though the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   first bomb didn't work, Cutter can finish the job, so to speak. He
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   advises Kemmer to check the bays herself--just to be sure.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   As Earth Force One approaches the B5 docking bay, Kemmer and Garibaldi
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   walk down to the bay themselves. Kemmer tells Cutter that she wants to
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   scan the bay herself; however, as she moves to do so, Cutter knocks
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   her out with the weapon he is carrying. He points a gun at Garibaldi,
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   but when he bends down to recover the weapon that he used against
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Kemmer, Garibaldi kicks the gun out of his hand. A struggle ensues,
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   but Garibaldi gains the upper hand long enough to grab hold of a comm
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   link and warn Ivanova to abort the docking procedure.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Later, in the Med Lab, Franklin tells Garibaldi that he'll be all
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   right (though Garibaldi feels like he "just made love to a meteor
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   shower")--and so will Lianna. Sinclair tells Garibaldi that explosives
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   were found on the bay doors--if the doors had opened, the new fighter
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   wing, as well as half of the station, would have been lost. Sinclair
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   also ran a check on Cutter and found that someone on Earth deposited a
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   large sum of money in Cutter's account an hour after the explosion
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   victim named Garibaldi. Cutter then withdrew it on B5 in Centauri
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   currency, which he planted in Garibaldi's quarters. Sinclair
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   congratulates Garibaldi on his actions, and places Garibaldi back on
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   active duty, but Garibaldi feels that he lost a personal battle: "I
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   blew it, Jeff ... just like I always do. When things get too rough, I
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   crawl right back into the damn bottle. What really scares me is how
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   much I enjoyed it." Sinclair still feels that Garibaldi shouldn't be
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   upset with himself--he crawled back out of the bottle and saved the
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   station. Garibaldi, however, feels that he just got lucky--this time;
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   what will happen next time, he asks? Sinclair says he hopes there
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   won't be a "next time," but if there is, he wants Garibaldi to promise
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   not to try to fight the battle alone. "You're more trouble than a
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   toilet full of snakes," says Sinclair, "but I couldn't run this
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   station without you."
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   President Santiago successfully completed his address and reception.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   In his address, he called for alien governments to work more closely
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   with earth--"a position certain to cause much controversy in the weeks
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   to come," according to a news broadcast.
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Garibaldi finds Lianna just as she's about to leave. Lianna thanks
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Garibaldi for his favorable report of the situation; Garibaldi
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   replies, "I figured if you could nab me on my own turf, you might just
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   have a career in this game." Lianna admits that she messed up--she
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   apologizes for what she put Garibaldi through (and she says that
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   Sinclair was right--she was out for blood, not justice), but he tells
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   her there's no need to apologize. He explains that people are not
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   machines, and when they're angry, they lash out. "Seventeen years
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   ago," he says, "we both died inside. But somehow, we survived. For
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   better or worse, that's all we can do--survive. And, maybe one day,
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   forget how much it can hurt to be human."
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   As she leaves, Lianna tells Garibaldi that President Santiago is "fond
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   of Babylon 5." Garibaldi half-humorously tells her to make sure to
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   keep the president safe, for B5 needs all the allies it can get. They
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   hug, and Lianna leaves quietly. Garibaldi stares after her, afraid
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   that he really hasn't changed at all in seventeen years. If it's so
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   easy to crawl back into the bottle, how can he ever be sure that he
							 | 
						
						
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								   won't do it again?
