1. We never cared what we did
Copy !req
2. as long as it annoyed
the grown-ups.
Copy !req
3. All inner deflector
shield subsystems
Copy !req
4. are showing equal intensity.
Copy !req
5. Power balance levels
are reading normal.
Copy !req
6. I was a champion
window breaker.
Copy !req
7. On a dark night
with a few rocks
Copy !req
8. I was deadly.
Copy !req
9. Um, which you are
you talking about?
Copy !req
10. We're being hailed
by an incoming freighter.
Copy !req
11. Open a channel.
Copy !req
12. On screen.
Copy !req
13. Welcome to DS9.
Copy !req
14. I'm Major Kira Nerys.
Copy !req
15. This is the Kobheerian Freighter
Rak-Miunis
Copy !req
16. requesting permission to dock.
Copy !req
17. Docking Port 6
is clear for approach.
Copy !req
18. Thank you.
Copy !req
19. We have a passenger
on board
Copy !req
20. requiring medical assistance.
Copy !req
21. Can you tell us what's wrong
with your passenger?
Copy !req
22. He says it's a condition
called Kalla-Nohra.
Copy !req
23. It's apparently chronic
Copy !req
24. but he doesn't have
his medication.
Copy !req
25. Beam him directly
to our Infirmary.
Copy !req
26. We'll have our doctor
standing by.
Copy !req
27. Thank you, Commander.
Copy !req
28. Rak-Miunis out.
Copy !req
29. Dax to Infirmary.
Copy !req
30. This is Bashir.
Go ahead.
Copy !req
31. A Kobheerian transport is
about to beam a patient to you.
Copy !req
32. He's suffering from something
called Kalla-Nohra.
Copy !req
33. I'm not aware of it.
Copy !req
34. I'll check the computer.
Copy !req
35. Commander, I'd like to go
down to the Infirmary
Copy !req
36. and meet that patient.
Copy !req
37. Of course. Why?
Copy !req
38. The only cases
Copy !req
39. of Kalla-Nohra I know of
Copy !req
40. were the result
of a mining accident
Copy !req
41. at a Bajoran forced labor camp
that I helped liberate.
Copy !req
42. The survivors of Gallitep
Copy !req
43. have always been a symbol
to us of strength and courage.
Copy !req
44. By all means, Major.
Copy !req
45. Take as much time as you want.
Copy !req
46. Ah, Major.
Copy !req
47. I'll be right with you.
Copy !req
48. Kira to Odo.
Copy !req
49. Go ahead.
Copy !req
50. I'm in the Infirmary.
Copy !req
51. I need security here
Copy !req
52. on the double.
Copy !req
53. I'm on my way, Major.
Copy !req
54. Captioning sponsored by
PARAMOUNT PICTURES
Copy !req
55. What's the matter,
Major?
Copy !req
56. Your patient is a criminal.
Copy !req
57. Good afternoon.
Copy !req
58. I assume this
is the problem.
Copy !req
59. Problem?
Copy !req
60. Lock him up.
Copy !req
61. This is outrageous.
On what charge?
Copy !req
62. Will somebody tell me
what's going on?
Copy !req
63. This man needs medical care.
Copy !req
64. Then give it to him
in his cell.
Copy !req
65. I haven't done anything.
Copy !req
66. Then why did you run?
Copy !req
67. I'm trying to get away
from this Bajoran fanatic.
Copy !req
68. The look of hate in her eyes—
she'd like to kill me.
Copy !req
69. Oh? And why
would that be?
Copy !req
70. Well, it's obvious.
I'm a Cardassian.
Copy !req
71. He's not just
any Cardassian.
Copy !req
72. He's a war criminal.
Copy !req
73. So you're saying this
man... what's his name?
Copy !req
74. Marritza.
Aamin Marritza.
Copy !req
75. You're saying Marritza's
on the Bajorans' list
Copy !req
76. for Cardassians wanted
for war crimes?
Copy !req
77. He's not on any list
Copy !req
78. I've seen, Commander,
and I've got them all.
Copy !req
79. I don't care whether
he's listed or not...
Copy !req
80. Hold on, Major.
Copy !req
81. Marritza is traveling
on a Federation ship.
Copy !req
82. He comes here for
a medical emergency
Copy !req
83. and we throw him
into a security cell.
Copy !req
84. I, for one,
hope he's listed.
Copy !req
85. Commander, I know what I've
done isn't exactly policy
Copy !req
86. and may not even be legal,
but it's right.
Copy !req
87. All right, Major, what
do we charge him with?
Copy !req
88. I'm charging him with having
contracted Kalla-Nohra.
Copy !req
89. Do you want to explain
that to me?
Copy !req
90. The only way he could have
contracted that condition
Copy !req
91. was to have served
at the Gallitep labor camp
Copy !req
92. at the time
of the mining accident.
Copy !req
93. So, that makes him a war
criminal, just being there?
Copy !req
94. Commander, if you'd been
there 12 years ago
Copy !req
95. when we liberated that camp—
Copy !req
96. if you'd seen the things I saw—
Copy !req
97. all those Bajoran bodies,
starved, brutalized...
Copy !req
98. Do you know
what Cardassian policy was?
Copy !req
99. Oh, I'm not even talking
about the murder.
Copy !req
100. Murder was just the end
of the fun for them.
Copy !req
101. First came the humiliation.
Copy !req
102. Mothers raped in front
of their children
Copy !req
103. husbands beaten
until their wives
Copy !req
104. couldn't recognize them
Copy !req
105. old people buried alive because
they couldn't work anymore.
Copy !req
106. I think I'll have a talk
with our guest.
Copy !req
107. I'll come with you.
Copy !req
108. No, Major.
Copy !req
109. It'd be better
if I spoke to him alone.
Copy !req
110. How do you feel?
Copy !req
111. Better, thank you.
Copy !req
112. I'm Benjamin Sisko.
Copy !req
113. I'm in charge
of this station.
Copy !req
114. Oh, finally.
Copy !req
115. The Federation
to the rescue.
Copy !req
116. Are you going to get
me out of here?
Copy !req
117. I hope so.
Copy !req
118. Tell me, how did you contract
Kalla-Nohra Syndrome?
Copy !req
119. I don't have Kalla-Nohra.
Copy !req
120. I have Pottrik Syndrome.
Copy !req
121. The freighter captain said
it was Kalla-Nohra.
Copy !req
122. A very similar condition.
Copy !req
123. Take the same medication,
as a matter of fact.
Copy !req
124. Then you didn't serve
at the Gallitep labor camp?
Copy !req
125. Labor camp?
Copy !req
126. No.
Copy !req
127. I've never been to Bajor.
Copy !req
128. I was a military
file clerk.
Copy !req
129. I reside now on Kora II
where I boarded a freighter
Copy !req
130. which, unfortunately
for me, came here.
Copy !req
131. Now, Commander, if you have
no more questions
Copy !req
132. I'd like to be on my way.
Copy !req
133. Am I still drunk
Copy !req
134. or am I in jail
with a Cardassian?
Copy !req
135. Odo!
Copy !req
136. You're not keeping me
in here with one of those.
Copy !req
137. Odo!
Copy !req
138. Odo!
Copy !req
139. I put myself in your hands,
Commander.
Copy !req
140. Let me get this straight.
Copy !req
141. You're saying
Marritza does have Kalla-Nohra?
Copy !req
142. There's no doubt
about it.
Copy !req
143. He has all the symptoms.
Copy !req
144. And when I ran a lower pulmonary
bio-probe, he read positive.
Copy !req
145. And you're sure he doesn't
have Pottrik Syndrome?
Copy !req
146. Yes, absolutely.
Copy !req
147. If he had Pottrik's
Copy !req
148. the bio-probe would
have been negative.
Copy !req
149. Then he was
at the Gallitep labor camp.
Copy !req
150. Definitely.
Copy !req
151. I've cross-checked all Bajoran
and Federation medical records
Copy !req
152. and there's simply no other way
Copy !req
153. he could have gotten
this condition.
Copy !req
154. Kira to Sisko.
Copy !req
155. Yes, Major?
Copy !req
156. Commander, there's an incoming
transmission for you from Bajor.
Copy !req
157. It's the Minister of State.
Copy !req
158. Thank you.
If you'll excuse me, Doctor.
Copy !req
159. Minister Kaval.
Copy !req
160. Good day, sir.
Copy !req
161. And to you, Commander.
Copy !req
162. I trust you're in good health.
Copy !req
163. Things are going well
on the station?
Copy !req
164. Quite well, thank you.
Copy !req
165. That's wonderful.
Copy !req
166. I'm told you've performed
Copy !req
167. a special service
for Bajor today.
Copy !req
168. Congratulations to you.
Copy !req
169. I don't quite follow.
Copy !req
170. You're not holding
a certain Cardassian for us?
Copy !req
171. We are holding a Cardassian
temporarily.
Copy !req
172. By temporarily, you mean
until you are satisfied
Copy !req
173. that a verified identification
has been made.
Copy !req
174. Minister, I'm not sure
we have the grounds
Copy !req
175. to hold him that long.
Copy !req
176. I fully understand
your concerns, Commander
Copy !req
177. but since our Major Kira
Copy !req
178. has accepted responsibility
in this matter
Copy !req
179. the burden
is off your shoulders.
Copy !req
180. I don't agree.
Copy !req
181. Commander
Copy !req
182. if this Marritza was at Gallitep
Copy !req
183. we want him,
and we will have him.
Copy !req
184. Is that clear?
Copy !req
185. It is.
Copy !req
186. Good.
Copy !req
187. We'll chat again soon.
Copy !req
188. Good day, Commander.
Copy !req
189. May I join you?
Copy !req
190. Actually, I was just about
Copy !req
191. to pay a visit to
our friend, Marritza.
Copy !req
192. That's what I want
to talk to you about, Major.
Copy !req
193. I'd like Odo to handle
this investigation.
Copy !req
194. Why?
Copy !req
195. He's our Chief of Security.
Copy !req
196. Minister Kaval
put me in charge.
Copy !req
197. Minister Kaval
doesn't run this station.
Copy !req
198. And the Federation has no right
Copy !req
199. telling us how to deal
with our criminals.
Copy !req
200. If it turns out
that he is a criminal
Copy !req
201. then he'll be yours,
and you're welcome to him.
Copy !req
202. Until then, he's just a traveler
under suspicion.
Copy !req
203. You think this is all
Copy !req
204. some personal vendetta
on my part, don't you?
Copy !req
205. I think you're too close
to be objective, yes.
Copy !req
206. You're right.
I'm not objective.
Copy !req
207. But I'm your First Officer,
and I give you my word
Copy !req
208. I will conduct myself
accordingly.
Copy !req
209. You once said
we were friends.
Copy !req
210. I'm asking you now,
as a friend—
Copy !req
211. please, let me conduct
this investigation.
Copy !req
212. I owe it to them.
Copy !req
213. You mean the victims.
Copy !req
214. That's right.
Copy !req
215. The ones who moved too slowly
and never moved again.
Copy !req
216. I'm asking for all the Bajorans
who can't ask.
Copy !req
217. Let a Bajoran do this.
Copy !req
218. Sisko to Odo.
Copy !req
219. Go ahead.
Copy !req
220. Constable, Major Kira
Copy !req
221. will be in charge
of the Marritza investigation.
Copy !req
222. I understand.
Copy !req
223. Thank you.
Copy !req
224. Constable.
Copy !req
225. It's about time
you let me out.
Copy !req
226. Try to stay out of trouble
for a day or two, will you?
Copy !req
227. I'll do my best.
Copy !req
228. Oh, and Odo, let me know
Copy !req
229. when you hang
the Cardassian.
Copy !req
230. I've begun a background check
on Marritza.
Copy !req
231. So far he is what he says he is.
Copy !req
232. He boarded that Kobheerian
freighter at Kora II
Copy !req
233. where he's worked
as an instructor
Copy !req
234. at a military academy
for the past five years.
Copy !req
235. Keep looking.
Copy !req
236. Don't worry, Major,
I intend to.
Copy !req
237. I'll be with the prisoner
if you need me.
Copy !req
238. My compliments
on your replicators, Major.
Copy !req
239. But the sem'hal stew
could use a little yamok sauce.
Copy !req
240. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
Copy !req
241. I doubt that, Major.
Copy !req
242. I doubt it very much.
Copy !req
243. I hope it won't disturb
your dinner
Copy !req
244. if I ask you a few questions.
Copy !req
245. If I refuse
to answer?
Copy !req
246. I'll ask them anyway.
Copy !req
247. Of course.
Copy !req
248. This is my job.
Copy !req
249. Persecuting Cardassians goes
far beyond your job, Major.
Copy !req
250. It's your passion.
Copy !req
251. You claim you were never
at Gallitep.
Copy !req
252. I missed that honor.
Copy !req
253. And that your illness
is not Kalla-Nohra.
Copy !req
254. Again, true.
Copy !req
255. Again, false.
Copy !req
256. Our Doctor confirmed
Copy !req
257. you do have Kalla-Nohra
Copy !req
258. which means
you were at Gallitep.
Copy !req
259. If your lies are going to be
this transparent
Copy !req
260. it's going to be
a very short interrogation.
Copy !req
261. Well, in that case, I'll try
to make my lies more opaque.
Copy !req
262. What was your rank
at Gallitep?
Copy !req
263. What were your duties?
Copy !req
264. You don't want to know.
Copy !req
265. Just answer
the question.
Copy !req
266. You'll be disappointed.
Copy !req
267. I'll risk it.
Copy !req
268. I had the distinction of serving
Copy !req
269. in the exalted position
of filing clerk.
Copy !req
270. Filing clerk?
Copy !req
271. I told you
you'd be disappointed.
Copy !req
272. Actually, I would have preferred
Copy !req
273. to avoid military service
altogether
Copy !req
274. but I had the good fortune
to be posted
Copy !req
275. to the records office
at Gallitep
Copy !req
276. and I turned out to be
an exemplary file clerk.
Copy !req
277. In 14 units of service
Copy !req
278. I never misplaced
or lost a record.
Copy !req
279. I received
numerous commendations.
Copy !req
280. Gul Darhe'el, himself, called
my computer filing system
Copy !req
281. "a masterpiece
of meticulous exactitude."
Copy !req
282. Well, there you are.
Copy !req
283. My secret's out.
Copy !req
284. My crimes laid bare.
Copy !req
285. I await execution.
Copy !req
286. I hope we don't
keep you waiting long.
Copy !req
287. You know, I never heard
of a filing clerk
Copy !req
288. becoming an instructor
at a military academy.
Copy !req
289. Until now.
Copy !req
290. What did you teach?
Copy !req
291. Believe it or not, filing.
Copy !req
292. I can verify that.
Copy !req
293. Be my guest.
Copy !req
294. I still think you're a liar.
Copy !req
295. So much for our search
for the truth.
Copy !req
296. Now we trade insults.
Copy !req
297. You admit
you worked under Gul Darhe'el.
Copy !req
298. We all did.
Copy !req
299. I take it, then,
you witnessed the atrocities.
Copy !req
300. Atrocities?
Copy !req
301. What atrocities?
Copy !req
302. Oh, I vaguely recall hearing
a scream from time to time.
Copy !req
303. Atrocities? No.
Copy !req
304. You expect me to believe
Copy !req
305. you knew nothing of the murders,
the tortures?
Copy !req
306. You never saw the bodies?
Copy !req
307. Of course I saw bodies.
Copy !req
308. People died all the time
at Gallitep—
Copy !req
309. mining accidents, illnesses,
feuds among the workers.
Copy !req
310. You're saying
Bajorans killed each other?
Copy !req
311. At times.
Copy !req
312. Over food, a blanket, a woman.
Copy !req
313. The conditions were harsh.
Copy !req
314. It was a labor camp, Major.
Copy !req
315. I helped liberate that camp.
Copy !req
316. I saw the bodies.
Copy !req
317. I know how they died.
Copy !req
318. You saw
what we wanted you to see.
Copy !req
319. Who do you think
started the rumors
Copy !req
320. about brutality at Gallitep?
Copy !req
321. It was Gul Darhe'el himself.
Copy !req
322. Now, there was a leader.
Copy !req
323. Brilliant, extraordinary man.
Copy !req
324. He knew that to rule by fear
was to rule completely.
Copy !req
325. Why bother with
actual mass murders
Copy !req
326. when just the reports
of such incidents
Copy !req
327. would have the same effect?
Copy !req
328. Which was?
Copy !req
329. You know as well
as I do, Major.
Copy !req
330. To keep you Bajorans thinking
of yourselves as victims.
Copy !req
331. To keep you afraid and helpless.
Copy !req
332. Turns out
we weren't so helpless.
Copy !req
333. We did get rid of you.
Copy !req
334. Leaving was
a political decision, Major.
Copy !req
335. I've enjoyed
reminiscing with you.
Copy !req
336. Now I think it's time
you let me out of here.
Copy !req
337. I can't do that.
Copy !req
338. Oh, no, no, no, no,
of course not.
Copy !req
339. No, you see, you're the one
who's lying now, Major.
Copy !req
340. It's not the truth
you're interested in.
Copy !req
341. All you want is vengeance.
Copy !req
342. Commander, I was led to believe
the Federation guarantees
Copy !req
343. the safe and unrestricted
passage of all travelers
Copy !req
344. visiting your station.
Copy !req
345. That's correct.
Copy !req
346. Then, how do you explain
Copy !req
347. the detention
of a Cardassian citizen?
Copy !req
348. Marritza came here seeking
medical attention.
Copy !req
349. Right now, he's under
our Doctor's care.
Copy !req
350. All we're trying to do
is to verify his identity.
Copy !req
351. A simple matter— if you'll
give us some assistance.
Copy !req
352. I assure you, Commander,
you don't need our assistance.
Copy !req
353. If this patient says
his name is Marritza
Copy !req
354. then that's who he is.
Copy !req
355. I hope you're not suggesting
you don't trust him
Copy !req
356. simply because he's Cardassian.
Copy !req
357. I don't trust him because he's
already lied
Copy !req
358. about being at Gallitep.
Copy !req
359. Is that what you're charging him
with, Commander?
Copy !req
360. Lying?
Copy !req
361. So far, we haven't charged him
with anything.
Copy !req
362. Then let him go.
Copy !req
363. I'd like
nothing better.
Copy !req
364. But first, I need to know
who it is I'm letting go.
Copy !req
365. I do appreciate
Copy !req
366. the awkwardness of your position
here, Commander.
Copy !req
367. This Bajoran obsession
Copy !req
368. with alleged
Cardassian improprieties
Copy !req
369. during the occupation
is really quite distasteful.
Copy !req
370. I suppose, if you're a Bajoran,
so was the occupation.
Copy !req
371. I might remind you
Copy !req
372. that neither one
of us is Bajoran
Copy !req
373. and I would hate
their bitterness
Copy !req
374. to cause conflict between
Cardassia and the Federation.
Copy !req
375. I hope to avoid that, too—
with your help.
Copy !req
376. You don't need my help
Copy !req
377. to safeguard one Cardassian
citizen on your station.
Copy !req
378. If any of these
Bajoran hate mongers
Copy !req
379. get their hands on him
Copy !req
380. I'll hold you
personally responsible.
Copy !req
381. What are you
looking for?
Copy !req
382. Answers.
Copy !req
383. Found any yet?
Copy !req
384. Marritza says I don't care
about the truth.
Copy !req
385. That all I want
is vengeance.
Copy !req
386. Are you worried
that maybe he's right?
Copy !req
387. All I want
is to see him punished.
Copy !req
388. Even if he is
just a file clerk?
Copy !req
389. That's just it.
Copy !req
390. I don't want him
to be just a file clerk.
Copy !req
391. I want him to be—
Copy !req
392. I don't know—
something worse.
Copy !req
393. You want him
to be guilty.
Copy !req
394. As far as I'm concerned
Copy !req
395. if he was at Gallitep,
he is guilty.
Copy !req
396. They're all guilty.
Copy !req
397. His punishment
will let Bajor feel some...
Copy !req
398. satisfaction.
Copy !req
399. It sounds like
you're trying too hard
Copy !req
400. to believe what
you're saying.
Copy !req
401. You already know
Copy !req
402. if you punish him
without reason
Copy !req
403. it won't mean anything.
Copy !req
404. And you already
know vengeance...
Copy !req
405. isn't enough.
Copy !req
406. Reroute the signal
enhancement module
Copy !req
407. to the main sensor array.
Copy !req
408. Aye, sir.
Copy !req
409. How's it look?
Copy !req
410. Just give me a second.
Copy !req
411. I'll run a diagnostic.
Copy !req
412. I've checked with
the Bajoran Archives
Copy !req
413. and they do have
a Marritza on record
Copy !req
414. as being a filing
clerk at Gallitep.
Copy !req
415. I've also checked with the
military academy on Kora II.
Copy !req
416. Marritza has been
teaching filing there
Copy !req
417. just as he claims.
Copy !req
418. All set, Commander.
Copy !req
419. Major, how many images were sent
from the Bajoran archives?
Copy !req
420. Only one.
Copy !req
421. It's the only picture
they could find of Gallitep
Copy !req
422. that had Marritza in it.
Copy !req
423. The Cardassians destroyed
Copy !req
424. almost all records
of the occupation.
Copy !req
425. The image enhancement
and transformation functions
Copy !req
426. are patched directly
into your console.
Copy !req
427. Major, what if
this image confirms
Copy !req
428. that Marritza was
a file clerk?
Copy !req
429. What do you expect us
to do then?
Copy !req
430. I suppose
you'll let him go.
Copy !req
431. I'm glad we understand
each other.
Copy !req
432. I've got it.
Copy !req
433. On screen.
Copy !req
434. Which one is Marritza?
Copy !req
435. Let's see... according
to the caption
Copy !req
436. he's the one
in the background
Copy !req
437. in the far right.
Copy !req
438. Isolate and magnify.
Copy !req
439. You're going to have
to do better than that.
Copy !req
440. Give me a minute.
Copy !req
441. I'm running an image
enhancement sequence.
Copy !req
442. It's not him.
Copy !req
443. Are you sure
we're looking at the right man?
Copy !req
444. Background, far right,
Aamin Marritza.
Copy !req
445. It can't be.
Copy !req
446. If that's Marritza,
then who are we holding here?
Copy !req
447. Lieutenant,
isolate the Cardassians
Copy !req
448. in the foreground.
Copy !req
449. The one in profile
on the left—
Copy !req
450. what can you give us?
Copy !req
451. That's him.
That's Marritza.
Copy !req
452. Not according to the caption.
Copy !req
453. What do you mean?
Copy !req
454. According to this,
it's Gul Darhe'el.
Copy !req
455. Let me guess.
Copy !req
456. You've come back to learn
the secret of my filing system.
Copy !req
457. I know all your secrets now.
Copy !req
458. Is that so?
Copy !req
459. What did you do?
Copy !req
460. Did you kill the real Marritza
Copy !req
461. so you could take his place?
Copy !req
462. Well, you'll pay for that death
Copy !req
463. and all the others
you're responsible for.
Copy !req
464. Oh, I don't think I could pay
for all of them, Major—
Copy !req
465. there were so many— and you
can only execute me once.
Copy !req
466. That's my only regret.
Copy !req
467. But... I'll settle for knowing
that Bajor will finally have
Copy !req
468. the satisfaction of punishing
the Butcher of Gallitep.
Copy !req
469. Tell me, Major.
Copy !req
470. Did you figure this out
all by yourself?
Copy !req
471. Or did you have help
from your Federation masters?
Copy !req
472. I'll let you
wonder about that.
Copy !req
473. It'll keep you occupied
Copy !req
474. while we're waiting
for the provisional government
Copy !req
475. to prepare
your war crimes tribunal.
Copy !req
476. War crimes?
Copy !req
477. How could there be war crimes
Copy !req
478. when there
hasn't been a war?
Copy !req
479. I can understand your wish
that there had been a war.
Copy !req
480. Your need to indulge
some pathetic fantasy
Copy !req
481. about brave Bajoran soldiers
marching to honorable defeat.
Copy !req
482. But, in fact, Major
Copy !req
483. you and I know
there was no war, no glory.
Copy !req
484. Bajor didn't resist.
Copy !req
485. It surrendered.
Copy !req
486. The Bajorans were a peaceful
people before you came.
Copy !req
487. We offered no threat to you.
Copy !req
488. We could never understand
why you had to be so brutal.
Copy !req
489. Well, we can't have that, Major.
Copy !req
490. I want no more secrets
between us.
Copy !req
491. Anything you don't understand
I'll explain to you.
Copy !req
492. Thank you, but I think I've
heard enough of your lies.
Copy !req
493. What lies?
Copy !req
494. You mean my failure
to divulge my true identity?
Copy !req
495. Believe me, Major
Copy !req
496. I yearned to tell you
Copy !req
497. but I knew how much more
satisfaction you would have
Copy !req
498. if you found out
for yourself.
Copy !req
499. And that was
my only deception.
Copy !req
500. Marritza was
a magnificent file clerk
Copy !req
501. and I, Gul Darhe'el—
Copy !req
502. I hope you'll not think it
immodest of me to say so—
Copy !req
503. but I was a magnificent leader.
Copy !req
504. Oh, you never saw Gallitep
at its height.
Copy !req
505. For a labor camp
Copy !req
506. it was the very model
of order and efficiency.
Copy !req
507. And why?
Copy !req
508. For that, you have
to look to the top.
Copy !req
509. To me!
Copy !req
510. My word,
my every glance was law
Copy !req
511. and the verdict
was always the same— guilty.
Copy !req
512. You're insane.
Copy !req
513. Oh, no, no, Major.
Copy !req
514. You can't dismiss me
that easily.
Copy !req
515. I did what had to be done.
Copy !req
516. My men understood that,
and that's why they loved me.
Copy !req
517. I would order them to go out
and kill Bajoran scum
Copy !req
518. and they'd do it,
they'd murder them
Copy !req
519. and they'd come back covered
in blood, but they felt clean.
Copy !req
520. Now, why did they feel
that way, Major?
Copy !req
521. Because they were clean.
Copy !req
522. You admit your atrocities.
Copy !req
523. I admit everything.
Copy !req
524. Why not?
I was the best at what I did.
Copy !req
525. My accomplishments
speak for themselves.
Copy !req
526. Can you say the same?
Copy !req
527. You and that little Shakaar
resistance cell
Copy !req
528. that you belonged to.
Copy !req
529. All you did was
annoy Cardassians
Copy !req
530. while I was out
exterminating Bajorans.
Copy !req
531. Make sure you tell that
to the tribunal.
Copy !req
532. Oh, I will.
Copy !req
533. Then they'll sentence you
to death.
Copy !req
534. Let them.
Copy !req
535. Don't you see, it doesn't
change anything?
Copy !req
536. Kill me, torture me—
it doesn't matter.
Copy !req
537. You've already lost, Major.
Copy !req
538. You can never undo
what I've accomplished.
Copy !req
539. The dead
will still be dead.
Copy !req
540. What will you do now, Major?
Copy !req
541. Withhold my medicine?
Copy !req
542. Here.
Copy !req
543. This will help.
Copy !req
544. What is it?
Copy !req
545. Maraltian seev-ale
Copy !req
546. from Quark's
private stock.
Copy !req
547. Better?
Copy !req
548. You know, Odo
Copy !req
549. I wonder how many others
like Darhe'el
Copy !req
550. are still out there...
Copy !req
551. still free, unpunished.
Copy !req
552. Quite a few, no doubt
Copy !req
553. but thanks to you,
there's one less out there now.
Copy !req
554. You should have heard him.
Copy !req
555. He bragged about
what happened at Gallitep—
Copy !req
556. the torture, the murders,
the humiliation.
Copy !req
557. He's proud
about what he did to us.
Copy !req
558. Why don't you go
to your quarters
Copy !req
559. and lie down for a while?
Copy !req
560. We'll leave him alone
with his Cardassian pride.
Copy !req
561. I don't want to lie down.
Copy !req
562. No, that's what he'd like—
Copy !req
563. another Bajoran
hiding in a corner.
Copy !req
564. He's probably in there
laughing at me right now.
Copy !req
565. He won't be laughing very long.
Copy !req
566. I hate him, Odo.
Copy !req
567. I hate his smirking,
superior Cardassian face.
Copy !req
568. When I was fighting
with the resistance
Copy !req
569. we used to lie awake at night
Copy !req
570. plotting the assassination
of men like Darhe'el.
Copy !req
571. Now I have to stand there
and listen to him
Copy !req
572. belittle the Shakaar
and everything it stood for.
Copy !req
573. Perhaps you should avoid
discussing your personal history
Copy !req
574. with a creature like that.
Copy !req
575. I didn't.
Copy !req
576. Then how did he know
you were with the Shakaar?
Copy !req
577. I don't know...
Copy !req
578. he was an important
military leader.
Copy !req
579. That doesn't explain it.
Copy !req
580. If he'd been in charge
of quelling Bajoran resistance
Copy !req
581. then he might have had
your name on file
Copy !req
582. but he commanded
a forced labor camp.
Copy !req
583. Something's not right here.
Copy !req
584. Where are you going?
Copy !req
585. To have another little chat
with Gul Darhe'el.
Copy !req
586. Computer, review
all off-station requests
Copy !req
587. for information regarding
Major Kira Nerys
Copy !req
588. within the last eight months.
Copy !req
589. Working.
Copy !req
590. Oh, back to see
the Butcher.
Copy !req
591. Am I really
so fascinating?
Copy !req
592. How did you know
I was with the Shakaar?
Copy !req
593. This provisional
government of yours
Copy !req
594. certainly moves slowly.
Copy !req
595. They should have dragged me
away in chains by now.
Copy !req
596. Just answer
the question!
Copy !req
597. Oh, my, my, you are
a strutting little egotist.
Copy !req
598. You forget the brilliance
of Marritza's filing system.
Copy !req
599. He made sure that I was provided
with information
Copy !req
600. on all your little
terrorist bands.
Copy !req
601. What I particularly enjoyed
were the termination reports.
Copy !req
602. Yes, life in a forced labor camp
can be so isolating.
Copy !req
603. At times, I felt that I alone
Copy !req
604. bore the burden of cleansing
Bajor of its rabble
Copy !req
605. but those reports reassured me,
I was not alone.
Copy !req
606. And I'm supposed to believe
you remembered my name
Copy !req
607. from some report
you read years ago?
Copy !req
608. At the risk of bruising
Copy !req
609. your vanity even
further, Major
Copy !req
610. I didn't remember
you at all
Copy !req
611. until I heard
your name here.
Copy !req
612. I can see that disturbs you.
Copy !req
613. Hardly.
Copy !req
614. You know, Major,
they will be coming for me soon
Copy !req
615. so before we say good-bye
Copy !req
616. there are a few little questions
I should like to ask you.
Copy !req
617. Your questions
don't interest me.
Copy !req
618. How can you be
so sure?
Copy !req
619. Or are you just
afraid to hear them?
Copy !req
620. Who are they?
Copy !req
621. Survivors of Gallitep.
Copy !req
622. They arrived
early this morning.
Copy !req
623. I suppose
they are waiting
Copy !req
624. for justice.
Copy !req
625. Gallitep.
Copy !req
626. Imagine living
through that hellhole.
Copy !req
627. The pain...
Copy !req
628. the sorrow...
Copy !req
629. Do you think
they like to gamble?
Copy !req
630. Doctor, I need your help.
Copy !req
631. Of course.
Copy !req
632. Three months ago
Copy !req
633. a request came from Kora II
Copy !req
634. for information
concerning Kira Nerys.
Copy !req
635. To what purpose?
Copy !req
636. I'm not sure.
Copy !req
637. But the name
Copy !req
638. on the request
was Aamin Marritza.
Copy !req
639. I've established
a subspace link with Kora II
Copy !req
640. and I'd like you to access
his medical history there.
Copy !req
641. Dax to Odo.
Copy !req
642. Gul Dukat is responding
to your subspace transmission.
Copy !req
643. Could you route it
to my office?
Copy !req
644. Aye, sir.
Copy !req
645. I do miss working with you, Odo.
Copy !req
646. I miss our games
of Kalevian montar.
Copy !req
647. As I recall, Gul Dukat,
we played one game
Copy !req
648. and you cheated.
Copy !req
649. The same old Odo—
Copy !req
650. like a blunt instrument.
Copy !req
651. But now to your question.
Copy !req
652. I regret that I cannot give you
access to any of the files
Copy !req
653. pertaining to Gul Darhe'el.
Copy !req
654. But I assure you
Copy !req
655. the files would only tell you
what I am telling you.
Copy !req
656. Gul Darhe'el is dead.
Copy !req
657. That's not possible.
Copy !req
658. I attended his funeral myself.
Copy !req
659. As a matter of fact, he's buried
Copy !req
660. under one of the largest
military monuments on Cardassia.
Copy !req
661. Then who are we holding here?
Copy !req
662. Some innocent
Cardassian citizen
Copy !req
663. as I explained
to your Commander Sisko.
Copy !req
664. And we want him released.
Copy !req
665. That innocent citizen
Copy !req
666. has admitted he is Gul Darhe'el.
Copy !req
667. What... are you saying?
Copy !req
668. He says
his name is Gul Darhe'el.
Copy !req
669. Then he's lying.
Copy !req
670. Well, if he is,
it's the most foolish lie
Copy !req
671. he could have invented.
Copy !req
672. It's likely to get him executed.
Copy !req
673. Why would anyone
do such a thing?
Copy !req
674. I don't know
Copy !req
675. but I tell you
I attended Darhe'el's funeral.
Copy !req
676. You're sure the man
you saw buried was Gul Darhe'el?
Copy !req
677. Half of Cardassia
viewed his body.
Copy !req
678. I saw a photograph
of Gul Darhe'el
Copy !req
679. taken at the Gallitep
labor camp.
Copy !req
680. It certainly appears to be
the man we're holding.
Copy !req
681. You're mistaken.
Copy !req
682. Am I?
Copy !req
683. This is obviously some plot
Copy !req
684. to embarrass
the Cardassian Empire.
Copy !req
685. It's possible.
Copy !req
686. Give me access to your files
Copy !req
687. and perhaps I can find
some proof
Copy !req
688. to support your claim
that Gul Darhe'el is dead.
Copy !req
689. I suppose I could grant you
limited access to the files.
Copy !req
690. I think that's wise.
Copy !req
691. I was 12
when I started fighting
Copy !req
692. but I've heard of some
who were even younger than that.
Copy !req
693. Yes, yes,
let's get to the real issue!
Copy !req
694. How many Cardassians
did you kill?
Copy !req
695. I mean personally.
Copy !req
696. I didn't keep count.
Copy !req
697. Oh, I think you did.
Copy !req
698. And I'm sure your total
wasn't limited
Copy !req
699. to military personnel.
Copy !req
700. After all, the most effective
terrorist weapon
Copy !req
701. was random violence.
Copy !req
702. Don't leave now, Major.
Copy !req
703. It's just getting good.
Copy !req
704. How many Cardassian
civilians did you kill?
Copy !req
705. Look! I regret a lot
of what I had to do.
Copy !req
706. How convenient of you.
Copy !req
707. We had no choice!
We were fighting for survival.
Copy !req
708. So were we.
Copy !req
709. We had an Empire to protect.
Copy !req
710. We needed your resources.
Copy !req
711. Everything I did
Copy !req
712. was for the greater glory
of Cardassia!
Copy !req
713. And if you spineless scum
had to be ground under
Copy !req
714. so much the better.
Copy !req
715. All that mattered was Cardassia.
Copy !req
716. I loved my homeland.
Copy !req
717. That's what justified
my actions.
Copy !req
718. That's what gave me strength.
Copy !req
719. Nothing justifies genocide.
Copy !req
720. What you call genocide,
I call a day's work.
Copy !req
721. Major, could I have
a word with you?
Copy !req
722. Dr. Bashir and I have
done some checking.
Copy !req
723. I don't know why yet
Copy !req
724. but the man in that cell
wanted to be caught.
Copy !req
725. This certificate of death
Copy !req
726. was in the file sent
to me by Gul Dukat.
Copy !req
727. According to this, Gul Darhe'el
died in his sleep six years ago.
Copy !req
728. "Cause of death—
massive coleibric hemorrhage."
Copy !req
729. Commander, I guarantee you
that is a forged document.
Copy !req
730. I think it's pretty clear
what's going on here.
Copy !req
731. The Cardassians
are trying to trick us
Copy !req
732. into letting him go.
Copy !req
733. I wouldn't put it past
our friend Gul Dukat.
Copy !req
734. Nor would I, however...
Copy !req
735. The man in there confessed
he is Gul Darhe'el.
Copy !req
736. Major, the man in there
has Kalla-Nohra syndrome.
Copy !req
737. Of course he does.
Copy !req
738. According to the evidence
I've been sent
Copy !req
739. Gul Darhe'el
never contracted that condition.
Copy !req
740. More evidence
from our trustworthy Gul Dukat.
Copy !req
741. What have you got, Constable?
Copy !req
742. Darhe'el's progress reports
from Gallitep
Copy !req
743. show that, when
the mining accident occurred
Copy !req
744. he was back on Cardassia
Copy !req
745. being awarded the Proficient
Service Medallion.
Copy !req
746. If he wasn't at Gallitep
on the day on the accident
Copy !req
747. then he couldn't have contracted
Kalla-Nohra.
Copy !req
748. Correct.
Copy !req
749. But the man we're holding
Copy !req
750. does have it.
Copy !req
751. I can't believe
I'm listening to this.
Copy !req
752. I'm afraid
there's more, Major.
Copy !req
753. I inquired about this man's
last two weeks on Kora II.
Copy !req
754. He resigned his position
at the military academy
Copy !req
755. put all his affairs
in order
Copy !req
756. and even provided handsomely
for his housekeeper
Copy !req
757. I understand.
Copy !req
758. All right, all right.
Copy !req
759. So, like any criminal,
he wanted to move on
Copy !req
760. before somebody traced
his whereabouts.
Copy !req
761. He specifically
requested passage
Copy !req
762. on a vessel that was scheduled
to stop here—
Copy !req
763. at a Bajoran station.
Copy !req
764. Rather unusual request
for a Cardassian war criminal.
Copy !req
765. Unless he wanted
Copy !req
766. to be captured.
Copy !req
767. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
768. Let's be clear about one thing.
Copy !req
769. This evidence may raise
some interesting questions.
Copy !req
770. Nevertheless, Darhe'el is going
to be sent back to Bajor
Copy !req
771. to stand trial
for the atrocities he committed.
Copy !req
772. Major, that is still
to be determined.
Copy !req
773. Well, then go talk to him.
Copy !req
774. If you still have any doubts,
listen to what he has to say.
Copy !req
775. He was there.
He did it.
Copy !req
776. He'll tell you about it.
Copy !req
777. Constable, I've checked
Copy !req
778. on Marritza's
medical record.
Copy !req
779. What have we got?
Copy !req
780. He's under treatment
Copy !req
781. for Kalla-Nohra
syndrome, of course
Copy !req
782. and a few other
minor ailments
Copy !req
783. most relating to his age.
Copy !req
784. It's all pretty
standard, really
Copy !req
785. except for one thing.
Copy !req
786. Which is...?
Copy !req
787. Five years ago
Copy !req
788. after arriving
on Kora II
Copy !req
789. he started taking
massive doses
Copy !req
790. of dermatiraelian
plastiscine
Copy !req
791. which is a dermal
regenerative agent
Copy !req
792. used to maintain
skin resilience
Copy !req
793. after cosmetic alteration.
Copy !req
794. You're saying
he changed his face
Copy !req
795. to look like Gul Darhe'el.
Copy !req
796. It certainly
appears that way.
Copy !req
797. How are you feeling?
Copy !req
798. I was starting to get
a little bored
Copy !req
799. but seeing you again
brightens my day.
Copy !req
800. I was referring to your
Kalla-Nohra Syndrome.
Copy !req
801. Would you like
to see Dr. Bashir?
Copy !req
802. Oh, so that's it.
Copy !req
803. You want to see me writhing
around the floor in pain.
Copy !req
804. A Cardassian
would never put on
Copy !req
805. such a deplorable display
in front of a Bajoran.
Copy !req
806. You just don't
understand us at all.
Copy !req
807. I'm beginning to understand
a great deal about you.
Copy !req
808. One thing does puzzle me.
Copy !req
809. And what would that be?
Copy !req
810. How you contracted
Kalla-Nohra Syndrome.
Copy !req
811. Do you think
that the mining accident
Copy !req
812. affected only
the Bajoran laborers
Copy !req
813. and not
their Cardassian masters?
Copy !req
814. That would be very nice.
Copy !req
815. So you're saying
you were at Gallitep
Copy !req
816. when that mining accident
occurred.
Copy !req
817. Of course.
Copy !req
818. Why are we going over
this again?
Copy !req
819. Because your own progress report
Copy !req
820. shows you were back on Cardassia
at the time of the accident.
Copy !req
821. That's ridiculous.
Copy !req
822. Receiving your
Copy !req
823. Proficient Service Medallion.
Copy !req
824. The reports are wrong.
Copy !req
825. I can show
them to you.
Copy !req
826. That won't be necessary.
Copy !req
827. I know where I was.
Copy !req
828. Why were you taking
a dermal regenerative?
Copy !req
829. I don't know
what you're talking about.
Copy !req
830. Then let me
help you.
Copy !req
831. Five years ago
Copy !req
832. when you first got
to Kora II...
Copy !req
833. All right, that's enough!
Copy !req
834. Your presence no longer
amuses me. Get out!
Copy !req
835. Why did you have
your face altered?
Copy !req
836. Security, get this woman
out of here!
Copy !req
837. Why are you pretending
to be Gul Darhe'el?
Copy !req
838. Why don't you ask me
something intelligent?
Copy !req
839. As for instance, how did I feel
Copy !req
840. when we were withdrawing
from Bajor?
Copy !req
841. The answer is I was furious.
Copy !req
842. The thought of leaving
any survivors behind
Copy !req
843. was repulsive to me.
Copy !req
844. So while our useless
office clerks
Copy !req
845. were packing
their precious files
Copy !req
846. I ordered my overseers
Copy !req
847. to begin slaughtering
the laborers.
Copy !req
848. If you felt that way
about your filing clerks
Copy !req
849. why did you take
Marritza's name?
Copy !req
850. My plan was to do nothing less
Copy !req
851. than kill every Bajoran
in the camp
Copy !req
852. and, to this day, my one regret
is that I was not able
Copy !req
853. to accomplish
this honorable goal.
Copy !req
854. You're Marritza, aren't you?
Copy !req
855. You mistake me for that bug?
Copy !req
856. That whimpering nothing?
Copy !req
857. Oh, you stupid Bajoran girl.
Copy !req
858. Don't you know who I am?
Copy !req
859. I'm your nemesis.
Copy !req
860. I'm your nightmare.
Copy !req
861. I'm the Butcher of Gallitep.
Copy !req
862. The Butcher of Gallitep
died six years ago.
Copy !req
863. You're Aamin Marritza,
his filing clerk.
Copy !req
864. That's not true.
Copy !req
865. I am alive.
Copy !req
866. I will always be alive!
Copy !req
867. It's Marritza who is dead.
Copy !req
868. Marritza,
who was good for nothing
Copy !req
869. but cowering under his bunk
and weeping like a woman.
Copy !req
870. Who, every night,
covered his ears
Copy !req
871. because he couldn't bear to hear
Copy !req
872. the screaming for mercy
of the Bajorans.
Copy !req
873. Covered my ears every night,
but...
Copy !req
874. I couldn't bear to hear
those horrible screams.
Copy !req
875. You have no idea
what it's like to be a coward...
Copy !req
876. to see these horrors...
Copy !req
877. and do nothing.
Copy !req
878. Marritza's dead.
Copy !req
879. He deserves to be dead.
Copy !req
880. What are you doing?
Copy !req
881. I'm letting you go.
Copy !req
882. Security?
Copy !req
883. Get in here.
Copy !req
884. You didn't commit
those crimes
Copy !req
885. and you couldn't
stop them.
Copy !req
886. You were only one man.
Copy !req
887. No, no, don't you see?
Copy !req
888. I have to be punished.
Copy !req
889. We all have to be punished.
Copy !req
890. Major, you have
to go out and tell them
Copy !req
891. I'm Gul Darhe'el.
Copy !req
892. It's the only way.
Copy !req
893. Why are you doing this?
Copy !req
894. For Cardassia.
Copy !req
895. Cardassia will only survive
Copy !req
896. if it stands in front of Bajor
and admits the truth.
Copy !req
897. My trial will force Cardassia
to acknowledge its guilt
Copy !req
898. and we're guilty, all of us.
Copy !req
899. My death is necessary.
Copy !req
900. What you're asking for
is another murder.
Copy !req
901. Enough good people
have already died.
Copy !req
902. I won't help kill another.
Copy !req
903. You should be back on Kora II
in three days.
Copy !req
904. Well, there's nothing
for me to go back to.
Copy !req
905. We've contacted
officials there.
Copy !req
906. They'll be waiting
to help you.
Copy !req
907. If they believed
that I was Gul Darhe'el
Copy !req
908. then my trial
might have helped
Copy !req
909. to bring about
a new Cardassia.
Copy !req
910. Now you've told them
I was just a file clerk.
Copy !req
911. What you tried to do
was very honorable.
Copy !req
912. If Cardassia is
going to change
Copy !req
913. it's going to need
people like you.
Copy !req
914. Why?
Copy !req
915. He wasn't Darhe'el!
Why?
Copy !req
916. He's a Cardassian!
Copy !req
917. That's reason enough.
Copy !req
918. No!
Copy !req
919. It's not.
