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.
