It was the dawn of the third age of mankind – ten years after the Earth-Minbari War. The Babylon Project was a dream, given form. Its goal: to prevent another war, by creating a place where humans and aliens can work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call – home away from home – for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanderers. Humans and aliens, wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal... all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last best hope for peace. This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5.

S01E21 The Quality of Mercy
Ivanova discovers that Dr. Franklin has been operating a free clinic for dwellers of Down Below, the area of Babylon 5 where most of the unemployed eke out a poverty-stricken existence, and that he's been using some of his medlab supplies to do so. Not much later, Franklin himself learns of another free clinic being operated aboard the station, one which promises to heal everything. Franklin finds Dr. Laura Rosen, an aging physician who has discovered an alien device with an unknown origin that seems to remove illness, disease and debilitation harmlessly. Dr. Rosen herself is slowly dying of a terminal illness, but does not use the machine on herself.
Meanwhile, convicted murderer Karl Mueller is sentenced to have his personality mindwiped and reprogrammed so he may serve a useful function in society. Prior to the wipe, Talia must scan him so she can compare his thoughts before and after the wipe to verify the success of the operation. What she finds in Mueller's mind horrifies her, then he escapes his guards....... Oblivious of all this Lennier gets taken by ambassador Molari for a night in "the town" that turns out very illuminating for him in many ways....
