Video Description: 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.
