Babylon 5 pilot

The first mission of Babylon 5's commander--a peace conference between four alien races--appears doomed when an ambassador is attacked ... and the commander is implicated as the assailant.

Humans and aliens striving to build a better future will confront immense challenges in this strange, exotic and dangerous place.

Pilot MOW for the series Babylon 5.

In a distant galaxy, the planet Raghesh 3 is home to a peaceful agricultural colony of the alien Centauri race. An enemy race, the Narns, attacks the planet with a fleet of powerful warships. News of this outrage causes angry debate among the four alien ambassadors stationed aboard Babylon 5, a huge, politically neutral space station operated by the Earth Alliance.

Londo Mollari (PETER JURASIK), the Centauri ambassador, accuses G'Kar (ANDREAS KATSULAS), the Narn representative, and his leaders of attempting to slaughter innocent farmers. G'Kar reminds Londo that the Centauri originally invaded the Narn stronghold on Raghesh 3 over a hundred years ago, and the Narns are simply reclaiming what they believe is rightfully theirs.

Meanwhile, Commander Jeffrey Sinclair (MICHAEL O'HARE), leader of the Babylon 5 crew, investigates a series of attacks on cargo ships by space pirates. Assisted by Michael Garibaldi (JERRY DOYLE), his chief security officer, and Lieutenant Commander Susan Ivanova (CLAUDIA CHRISTIAN), Sinclair also maintains peace aboard Babylon 5 until the security council, including Minbari Ambassador Delenn (MIRA FURLAN) and the mysterious Vorlon Ambassador, Kosh Naranek (ARDWIGHT CHAMBERLAIN), can debate the Centauri problem.

Londo is concerned for the safety of his nephew, Carn Mollari (PETER TRENCHER), a scientist stationed on Raghesh 3. Carn sends a message to the Babylon 5 security council, stating that his people requested Narn assistance to liberate their colony from Centauri's oppressive rule. Defending his nephew's loyalty, Londo insists that Carn was forced to make that statement by the Narns to discourage any intervention. But despite Londo's objection, the security council votes not to investigate the incident.

Commanding Babylon 5's fighter squadron, Sinclair chases the space pirates away from the neutral sector. However, he captures a Narn adviser from the pirates' command ship and presents him to G'Kar. Sinclair accuses the Narns of selling weapons to the pirates and profiting from the pirates' random violent attacks.

Sinclair also captures evidence of a monitored transmission between the Raghesh 3 invasion fleet and the Narn military command. It proves that Carn was forced to make his statement and confirms that the attack on the space colony was indeed a hostile takeover. Sinclair tells G'Kar to advise his leaders to withdraw the Narn forces from Raghesh 3 or he will present the evidence to the security council, which will prompt the other races to collectively retaliate against the Narns. G'Kar reluctantly complies, and peace is temporarily restored.

When an unidentified spacecraft hurtles toward Babylon 5 on a collision course, Commander Jeffrey Sinclair (MICHAEL O'HARE), Lieutenant Commander Susan Ivanova (CLAUDIA CHRISTIAN) and their crew safely capture the craft with a magnetic force field.

The station's medical officer, Dr. Stephen Franklin (RICHARD BIGGS), and Security Chief Michael Garibaldi (JERRY DOYLE) inspect the injured alien pilot and its ship. Ambassador Delenn (MIRA FURLAN), representing the Minbari Empire, is horrified to see that it's the Soul Hunter (W. MORGAN SHEPPARD), a feared enemy who captures and collects the souls of dying aliens.

Delenn begs Sinclair to kill the evil stranger, but Sinclair doesn't agree with her religious fears--until he witnesses the Hunter's chilling behavior at the exact moment when a man dies elsewhere inside Babylon 5. The Hunter can literally see the man's soul leave its body--and he reacts with ecstasy. To calm the intense fears of the aliens aboard the space station, Sinclair orders the Soul Hunter to leave Babylon 5.

Before the Soul Hunter departs, Delenn confronts him, demanding the location of his "collection"--the assortment of trapped souls he always carries. The Soul Hunter recognizes Delenn as being from the Minbari's highest ruling class. Why, he asks, is she posing as a mere diplomatic ambassador aboard Babylon 5? He escapes from Garibaldi's security guards, retrieves his collection pouch from his ship and hides in a deserted construction zone of the station.

Soul Hunter #2 (JOHN SNYDER) arrives in pursuit, revealing to Sinclair that his colleague is a fanatical renegade who murders aliens instead of waiting for them to die. As the Soul Hunter kidnaps Delenn and slowly drains her blood to preserve her soul without trauma, Sinclair and Garibaldi find his hiding place. They release the souls from his pouch. The souls turn against their captor, encasing him in one of his own "soul stones" before escaping to their eternal rest.

Dr. Franklin nurses Delenn back to health, but after learning her true identity from the Soul Hunter, Sinclair is also suspicious of her reasons for posing as a Minbari ambassador.

Londo Mollari (PETER JURASIK), the Centauri ambassador stationed on Babylon 5, is infatuated with Adira Tyree (FABIANA UDENIO), an exotic Centauri dancer who performs on the recreation level of the gigantic space station. Their affair often distracts him from his political duties. Station Commander Jeffrey Sinclair (MICHAEL O'HARE) is annoyed when Londo arrives late to a treaty negotiation with the Narn ambassador, G'Kar (ANDREAS KATSULAS), and his imposing new assistant, Ko 'Dath (MARY WORONOV).

Adira is later confronted by Trakis (CLIVE REVILL), the alien slave trader who owns her contract. Trakis ordered Adira to seduce Londo and get a copy of his "purple files," a private collection of scandalous secrets about the alien royal families within the Centauri Republic. Trakis hopes to sell the files to G'Kar, who will generously pay for any information he can use to unbalance the treaty negotiations in his favor.

Adira hesitates to obey Trakis because she genuinely cares for Londo and doesn't want to ruin his political career. However, to gain her freedom from Trakis, she weakens Londo with a drug, fits him with a small mind-controlling device and forces him to reveal his personal computer access code for the incriminating files. She transfers the data to a tiny memory crystal and sadly bids Londo farewell as he sleeps from the drug's aftereffects.

Suddenly deciding not to betray Londo, Adira keeps the crystal and hides within the labyrinth of Babylon 5. Trakis and his hired killers eventually find her. He takes the crystal while the killers guard her in a secluded corner of the space station, waiting to depart with her on the next shuttle flight.

When Londo realizes that Adira disappeared and the purple files are missing, he begs Sinclair to help him save his career. Pretending to favor the Narns, Sinclair arranges a meeting between Trakis and G'Kar for the sale of the crystal. In attendance is Talia Winters (ANDREA THOMPSON), Babylon 5's resident telepath, who mentions Adira's disappearance, then uses her psychic powers to read Trakis' mind and learn her location as he thinks about her. Security guards rescue Adira from the killers as Londo forcefully retrieves the crystal from Trakis.

Sinclair agrees not to arrest Trakis if he will release Adira from her contract, and he complies. Adira apologizes to Londo for deceiving him as she boards the departing shuttle. He forgives her and invites her to return to him after she's experienced some of the new opportunities awaiting her in life as a free woman.

Dr. Vance Hendricks (DAVID McCALLUM), a respected archeologist, discovers several strange artifacts on a barren planet. The relics provide the secret to organic technology--they are blueprints for living machines. Helped by his assistant, Nelson Drake (MARSHALL TEAGUE), Hendricks smuggles the mysterious relics aboard the gigantic space station Babylon 5. Hendricks hopes to discover the secrets of the objects with the unsuspecting aid of his former student, Dr. Stephen Franklin (RICHARD BIGGS), the station's medical officer.

Meanwhile, the station's commander, Jeffrey Sinclair (MICHAEL O'HARE), and Security Chief Michael Garibaldi (JERRY DOYLE) investigate the death of a security clerk. They don't know Drake murdered the clerk to get the relics aboard Babylon 5 without the required quarantine inspection. As the scientists experiment on the objects, Drake begins to transform into a cybernetic killer--part human, part machine. Drake attacks Dr. Franklin.

As Franklin recovers, Hendricks confesses the truth to Sinclair and Garibaldi. He illegally smuggled the objects into the laboratory hoping to sell the secret to a wealthy Earth-based weapons corporation. He also explains that Drake was accidentally infected with the cells of the mechanized organisms. As Drake tranforms completely into a humanoid machine, he prowls throughout the station, absorbing its energy and killing anyone he believes to be a threat.

Franklin isolates the genetic code that motivates the cybernetic Drake to kill. Over a thousand years ago, the civilization on the barren planet created artificial soldiers to cleanse their race of genetic impurities. Unfortunately, this desire to create a perfect world was interpreted too literally by these cybernauts. They destroyed all life on the planet.

Sinclair finally confronts the unstoppable Drake with these facts, and Drake's artificial memory destroys itself out of shame for failing in its mission. Drake recovers from his transformation but is arrested for the murder of the security clerk. Franklin rejects Hendricks' plea to help him sell the rest of the objects and allows Garibaldi's men to arrest the greedy scientist.

To help promote intergalactic peace, the Earth Alliance hosts a religious festival aboard Babylon 5, the gigantic politically neutral space station. Representatives from every alien race arrive to demonstrate the customs of their diverse religions.

G'Kar (ANDREAS KATSULAS), the militant Narn ambassador, meets Tu'Pari (THOMAS KOPACHE), a courier from their homeworld, who gives him a datacrystal from Du'Rog (MARK HENDRICKSON), G'Kar's political enemy. On this video message, Du'Rog claims that his own political career was ruined by G'Kar's ambitious treachery. Dying of an incurable disease, Du'Rog also wants G'Kar to die. He's hired an unknown assassin to murder G'Kar during the festival.

G'Kar suspects every stranger arriving at the space station, including his new diplomatic aide, Na'Toth (CAITLIN BROWN). She claims to be innocent and reminds G'Kar that members of the Narn assassination guild leave a black rose near their intended victims. When G'Kar awakens with a black rose on his pillow, he hires a hulking alien bodyguard to protect him. The unknown assassin kills the guard, and Babylon 5's security chief, Michael Garibaldi (JERRY DOYLE), investigates.

Meanwhile, Station Commander Jeffrey Sinclair (MICHAEL O'HARE) reunites with his frequent lover, Catherine Sakai (JULIA NICKSON), a geological surveyor who arrives on Babylon 5 to meet with some alien mining executives. Sinclair and Catherine's conflicting careers and expectations frequently make them quarrel. After reluctantly agreeing to try once again to have a committed relationship, Catherine promises to return to Babylon 5 in a few weeks so they can be together.

During one religious demonstration, Minbari Ambassador Delenn (MIRA FURLAN), and her new associate, Lennier (BILL MUMY), conduct a ceremony where a spiritual rebirth supposedly occurs after eating a special fruit. The ritual also aids Delenn with her secret mission--to make sure Sinclair still does not remember 24 mysterious hours of his war experience against the Minbari years ago. If Sinclair remembers, Delenn has orders to kill him.

Later, while meeting with Babylon 5's Lieutenant Commander Susan Ivanona (CLAUDIA CHRISTIAN), Sinclair expresses sudden suspicion about the intentions and trustworthiness of the enigmatic Vorlon ambassador, Kosh Naranek.

As the festival concludes, Tu'Pari, the actual assassin, abducts G'Kar into the cluttered interior level of Babylon 5 known as "Downbelow," and tortures him in preparation to completing his assassin's contract. Luckily, Na'Toth follows them and helps G'Kar defeat Tu'Pari in a brutal fistfight. Failing to fulfill the terms of his contract, Tu'Pari flees from the space station on the next shuttle flight before the Narn assassin's guild arrives to punish him.

Jason Ironheart (WILLIAM ALLEN YOUNG), a fugitive from the Earth Alliance's military Psi Corps, arrives on Babylon 5, the gigantic intergalactic space station. He is a gifted telepath who was the subject of a psychological experiment to expand the limits of his psychic powers with special drugs and therapy. Two psi cops, Mr. Bester (WALTER KOENIG) and Ms. Kelsey (FELICITY WATERMAN), searching for Ironheart, arrive soon after and demand that Station Commander Jeffrey Sinclair (MICHAEL O'HARE) and Security Chief Michael Garibaldi (JERRY DOYLE) help them find him. They believe Ironheart intends to reveal military secrets to Earth's alien enemies.

Eluding their search, Ironheart hides among the crowded Babylon 5 populace and confronts his trusted former lover and Psi Corps pupil, Talia Winters (ANDREA THOMPSON), the station's resident commercial telepath. He tells her that after months of painful genetic surgery and injections, he mutated to the point where he can destroy molecular matter with his thought waves. Since the psi cops can't control him, they want to dissect him, learn the chemical composition of his superpowers and use it as a military weapon. Ironheart asks Talia to help him escape in a shuttle craft before he loses control of his volatile impulses and involuntarily destroys the entire space station.

Meanwhile, Sinclair's lover, Catherine Sakai (JULIA NICKSON), a geological surveyor, is hired by an industrial company from Earth to find a rare mineral on the planet Sigma 957, an uninhabitable world in a far corner of the galaxy controlled by the Narn empire. When Catherine asks Ambassador G'Kar (ANDREAS KATSULAS), the Narn representative stationed on Babylon 5, for permission to survey the planet, he warns her not to go into that ominous sector of space. She defies him and departs in an exploratory vehicle while G'Kar orders a Narn warship to pursue her.

Approaching Sigma 957, Catherine's vehicle is suddenly dwarfed by an immense alien spacecraft. When it disappears in a blinding light, Catherine's incapacitated vehicle falls into a collision orbit with the planet. Luckily, the Narn warship arrives to rescue her. G'Kar explains to Catherine that for millions of years, his people have avoided Sigma 957 because of the unexplainable events that frequently occur there, analogous to an ant trying to explain the intrusion of a human fingertip into its nest.

Back on Babylon 5, Ironheart's uncontrollable psychic waves begin to suck the living space around him into a self-destructive fourth dimension, destroying a corridor of the space station. He uses his remaining strength to allow Talia and Sinclair near him to convince them of the danger of his constantly mutating mind power and to negotiate his escape from Babylon 5.

Ironheart easily deflects the psi cops' attempts to capture him as he's led to a shuttle craft and ejected into space by himself. As the crew watches, Ironheart's craft transforms into a benevolent humanoid apparition, bigger than Babylon 5 itself. In a final gesture of grateful love, Ironheart gives Talia the telekinetic mind power that she's always dreamed of possessing, then dissolves into the molecular fabric of the universe to experience the next stage of his psychic mutation.

A group of racial fanatics known as the Home Guard is attacking prominent aliens aboard Babylon 5, the gigantic peacekeeping space station. When the resident alien ambassadors demand that the fanatics be arrested, Station Commander Jeffrey Sinclair (MICHAEL O'HARE) and Chief Security Officer Michael Garibaldi (JERRY DOYLE) assure them that the crimes are being investigated.

Meanwhile, Lieutenant Commander Susan Ivanova (CLAUDIA CHRISTIAN) meets arriving passenger Malcolm Biggs (TRISTAN ROGERS), a special lover whom she hasn't seen in eight years. Malcolm claims he wants to renew their romance. He rents office space aboard Babylon 5 to begin a new business and be near Ivanova. While she appreciates his attentions, Ivanova warns him that she's dedicated to her duties as an officer.

Two other passengers, Kiron Maray (RODNEY EASTMAN) and Aria Tensus (DANICA McKELLAR), a young Centauri couple, are forcibly escorted by security guards to the office of their alien ambassador, Londo Mollari (PETER JURASIK). Refusing to obey the ancient traditions of their race and submit to the prearranged marriages to wealthy nobles selected by their parents, the young lovers stole Centauri credit cards and fled from their planet, hoping to marry each other and start a new life on Babylon 5.

Londo explains that love has no purpose in marriage, but Vir Cotto (STEPHEN FURST), his inept assistant and Kiron's cousin, boldly condemns the old tradition, citing Londo's own unhappiness with his three ugly prearranged wives. Reluctantly agreeing with Vir, Londo arranges for Kiron and Aria to live with an influential foster family who will thoroughly teach them Centauri traditions, then marry them "for love" if they still wish it.

As the racial attacks continue, Sinclair and Garibaldi learn that Malcolm is the secret Home Guard organizer. They persuade a shocked Ivanova to help them entrap Malcolm and his unknown compatriots. Pretending to secretly hate all aliens, Sinclair and Ivanova convince Malcolm of their bigotry. As Malcolm tests their loyalty by ordering Sinclair to kill a captive alien, Garibaldi traces their rendezvous with his security monitors and the Home Guard terrorists are arrested.

Ivanova, seeing Malcolm led away in shackles, says goodbye for the last time. She tells Malcolm that the aliens he hates and fears are often much more admirable than people like himself.

For ten years since the Great War between Earth and the alien Minbari race, Jeffrey Sinclair (MICHAEL O'HARE), presently the commander of the Babylon 5 space station, is tortured by nightmares about the Battle of the Line. In this final heroic assault in the Great War, young Sinclair inadvertently led his fighter squadron into a Minbari trap. All Earth ships were destroyed except his own. Twenty-four hours later, the superior Minbari forces unexplainably surrendered to Earth. Unfortunately, Sinclair has no memory of what happened to him during those 24 hours.

Two mysterious beings, known only as Knight One (JUDSON SCOTT) and Knight Two (CHRISTOPHER NEAME), smuggle strange experimental equipment aboard Babylon 5. They kidnap Sinclair and seclude him in a room deep inside the station. Using advanced drugs and technology, the Knights connect Sinclair to cybernetic inputs that allow their images to interact with the images hidden within Sinclair's memory. The Knights hope to replay and analyze Sinclair's final moments during the battle until they learn what happened to him during that mysterious 24-hour period.

Sinclair's absence is soon discovered by Lieutenant Commander Susan Ivanova (CLAUDIA CHRISTIAN) and Security Chief Michael Garibaldi (JERRY DOYLE). They order an immediate search of every room on Babylon 5. Delenn (MIRA FURLAN), the resident Minbari ambassador, is especially concerned by Sinclair's disappearance.

Meanwhile, the Knights probe Sinclair's subconscious immediately after he purposely crashed his space fighter into a Minbari warship at the climax of the battle. They see Sinclair brought inside the warship with a tractor beam, surrounded by the hooded figures of the Minbari Grey Council, including Delenn. She shoots him with a strange energy discharge, but Sinclair's memory of this pain is so strong that it shocks his mind and body free of the Knights' cybernetic restraints.

Sinclair escapes from the Knights. Security monitors quickly locate him stumbling along a corridor. Under Dr. Stephen Franklin's (RICHARD BIGGS) care, Sinclair soon recovers from his ordeal. Garibaldi arrests the Knights, revealing that they were part of an Earth-based human supremacy group who suspected Sinclair of conspiring with the Minbari. Suspicious of Delenn's friendship now that he remembers what she and the Grey Council did to him, Sinclair tells her that his memory is still unclear about what happened after the battle. However, the Grey Council secretly advises Delenn that if Sinclair ever learns the truth, he must die.

Dr. Stephen Franklin (RICHARD BIGGS), chief medical officer on the space station Babylon 5, examines Shon (JONATHAN CHARLES KAPLAN), the young child of a visiting alien family. He tells the parents, M'ola (TRICIA O'NEIL) and Tharg (STEPHEN LEE), that a simple operation is needed to remove a blockage from Shon's throat. However, the family's ancient religion dictates that any puncture of the body allows the spirit to escape, leaving a carcass that can't be redeemed by their God. Dr. Franklin insists that Shon will die without the procedure, but they refuse to give the doctor permission to operate.

Furious that the child will die because of an alien superstition, Dr. Franklin files an official complaint with station commander Jeffrey Sinclair (MICHAEL O'HARE). By the laws of the Earth Alliance that controls Babylon 5, he asks Sinclair to overrule the aliens' parental authority and approve the operation.

Fearing that Sinclair will decide in favor of Dr. Franklin, M'ola and Tharg ask the four alien ambassadors to plead their case before Babylon 5's security council and prevent Dr. Franklin from disobeying their religious belief. G'Kar (ANDREAS KATSULAS), Londo Mollari (PETER JURASIK), Ambassador Delenn (MIRA FURLAN) and Kosh Naranek (ARDWIGHT CHAMBERLAIN) all refuse to get involved with the politically sensitive moral dilemma.

After learning how devoutly the alien family believes in the body's purity, Sinclair realizes that defying their faith would contradict Babylon 5's humanitarian mission to be a peaceful galactic oasis that respects the unique rights of every alien race. He forbids Dr. Franklin to operate on Shon.

After M'ola and Tharg say a final good-bye to their dying child, Dr. Franklin and his assistant, Dr. Maya Hernandez (SILVANA GALLARDO), risk their careers by performing the operation. Obeying their medical ethics, they're convinced that once the aliens see their child alive and healthy, they'll realize the error of their superstitious judgment.

Even though Shon recovers completely, when M'ola and Tharg see his neck incision, they curse him as an undead thing without a soul. Shon allows them to destroy his body in a sacrificial ritual. M'ola and Tharg concede that Dr. Franklin was obeying his own morality but can't forgive his desecration of their child. Dr. Franklin realizes that the multi-cultural galaxy is filled with many different definitions of morality. He'll be forever haunted by the ordeal of Shon's struggle between life and death.

Aldous Gajic (DAVID WARNER), a spiritual crusader on a quest for the mystic "Holy Grail," arrives on Babylon 5 to consult with the various alien ambassadors. The Grail is a drinking cup belonging to the supreme God of the universe. Explorers wishing to cure the evils of mankind have sought it for hundreds of years. Gajic's quest has taken him from the forgotten sanctuaries of Earth to every inhabited galaxy.

Meanwhile, Deuce (aka Desmond Muzychenko) (WILLIAM SANDERSON), a crime boss in "Downbelow," Babylon 5's criminal underworld, threatens Jinxo (aka Thomas Jordan) (TOM BOOKER), a petty thief and former construction worker. Jinxo must repay Deuce a huge gambling debt. To demonstrate his power, Deuce forces Jinxo to watch the "execution" of a witness. The witness planned to testify against Deuce in a trial before Babylon 5's judicial authority, the Ombuds Wellington (JIM NORTON). A hideous, tentacled creature known as a Na'ka'leen Feeder drains the witness of her memory. The Feeder is disguised in the same non-descript environmental exoskeleton worn by the enigmatic Vorlon ambassador, Kosh Naranek.

Security Chief Michael Garibaldi (JERRY DOYLE) apprehends Jinxo stealing Gajic's credit card and brings him to Wellington. About to be expelled from Babylon 5, Jinxo desperately explains that he was a worker on the four previous Babylon space stations, and each time he left the ships, they collapsed or exploded. Despite his current problems with Deuce, Jinxo fears that if he ever leaves Babylon 5, it will be destroyed, as well. Doubting the curse but impressed by Jinxo's compassion for the station's occupants, Gajic offers to rehabilitate Jinxo, and Wellington pardons him.

When Garibaldi's guards find the near-lifeless trial witness, they suspect Deuce is responsible but cannot prove it. Dr. Stephen Franklin (RICHARD BIGGS), Babylon 5's medical officer, matches the witness's symptoms and the symptoms of several previous victims with the known results of a Feeder attack. Station Commander Jeffrey Sinclair (MICHAEL O'HARE) and Garibaldi suspect that Deuce smuggled the creature aboard to enforce his criminal rule. Since Feeders are indigenous to a Centauri sector of the galaxy, Sinclair consults Londo Mollari (PETER JURASIK), the Centauri ambassador, who expresses his race's mortal terror of the Feeder.

Gajic and Jinxo develop a close friendship as they interview the ambassadors about the elusive Grail. When Deuce's henchmen abduct Gajic and Wellington to satisfy the Feeder's hunger, Jinxo frantically leads Sinclair and Garibaldi to Deuce's lair in Downbelow. Garibaldi's guards join the fight, and after an exhausting chase, they subdue Deuce and his henchmen and kill the Feeder. Unfortunately, Gajic is mortally wounded protecting Jinxo. As the crusader dies, Jinxo promises to continue searching for the Holy Grail.
