Babylon 5/Recap/S03/E17 War Without End, Part 2

"Zathras has studied the great machine, knows things even Draal does not know yet. And I know you [Sinclair]. And I know you [Delenn]. And I know you [Sheridan]. All Minbari belief is around three. Three castes, worker, warrior, religious. Three languages, Light, Dark, Grey. The Nine of the Grey Council, three times three. All is three. As you are three. As you are one. As you are the One. You [Sinclair] are the one who was . You [Delenn] are the one who is . You [Sheridan] are the one who will be . You are the beginning of the story, and the middle of the story, and the end of the story. That creates the next great story. Ah, in your heart, you know what Zathras says is true. Go now, Zathras' place is with the one who was. We have a destiny."
