G'Kar slowly reaches up and, to the astonishment of all present, [[BreakingTheBonds pulls the chains off]] and attacks the guards. Chaos erupts as the Narns and Centauri in the room get into a brawl, and Londo pulls Cartagia into another room. The emperor is [[VillainousBreakdown not happy]], and ranting about how he'll have to [[YouHaveFailedMe have everyone killed]], so loudly the entire planet can probably hear them over the fight. When Londo tries to get him to shut up, Cartagia smacks him, causing him to drop the needle. [[RantInducingSlight Cartagia condemns Londo to burn with Centauri Prime for this slight]] then turns and runs right into Vir, who sticks the needle into Cartagia's chest. He collapses a moment later, still ranting, "I was to be a god, you understand? A god..." A pair of guards come up and Londo tells them the emperor has collapsed and sends them for a doctor.

Londo, in one of his more profound moments, offers some [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming rather touching comfort]], telling him the pain will probably never go away, but that that's a good thing, as it means Vir still has a heart, and that his is a good one, and that Londo himself envies him for that.
