1. It's Dr. Bashir,
isn't it?Copy !req
2. Of course it is.Copy !req
3. May I introduce myself?Copy !req
4. Uh... yes.Copy !req
5. Yes, of course.Copy !req
6. My name is Garak.Copy !req
7. A Cardassian by birth,
obviously.Copy !req
8. The only one of us left
on this stationCopy !req
9. as a matter of fact.Copy !req
10. So I do appreciate making
new friends whenever I can.Copy !req
11. You are new to the
station, I believe.Copy !req
12. I am, yes.Copy !req
13. Though...
though I understandCopy !req
14. you've been here
quite a while.Copy !req
15. Ah. You know of me then.Copy !req
16. Would you care
for some of this Tarkalean tea?Copy !req
17. It's very good.Copy !req
18. What a thoughtful
young man.Copy !req
19. How nice that we've met.Copy !req
20. You know...Copy !req
21. some people say
that you remained on DS9Copy !req
22. as the eyes and ears
of your fellow Cardassians.Copy !req
23. You don't say.Copy !req
24. Doctor— you're
not intimatingCopy !req
25. that I'm some sort
of spy, are you?Copy !req
26. I wouldn't know, sir.Copy !req
27. Ah. An open mind—Copy !req
28. the essence of intellect.Copy !req
29. As you may also knowCopy !req
30. I have a clothing
shop nearbyCopy !req
31. so if you should
require any apparelCopy !req
32. or simply wish, as I doCopy !req
33. for a bit of enjoyable
company now and thenCopy !req
34. I'm at your
disposal, Doctor.Copy !req
35. You're very kind,
Mr. Garak.Copy !req
36. Oh, it's just Garak—
plain, simple...Copy !req
37. Garak.Copy !req
38. Now, good day
to you, Doctor.Copy !req
39. I'm so glad
to have madeCopy !req
40. such an interesting
new friend today.Copy !req
41. You won't believe
who just sat downCopy !req
42. next to me
in the Replimat.Copy !req
43. Major, Upper Pylon 3Copy !req
44. will be shut down for
maintenance for 48 hours.Copy !req
45. The spy.Copy !req
46. Garak, the Cardassian.Copy !req
47. We don't know for a factCopy !req
48. Garak's a spy, Doctor.Copy !req
49. He is.
You should have heard him.Copy !req
50. He-He introduced himselfCopy !req
51. and, and, and he struck up
conversation just like that.Copy !req
52. He was making contact
with me.Copy !req
53. With me, of
all people.Copy !req
54. What do you think
he might want from you, Julian?Copy !req
55. I don't know...Copy !req
56. Federation medical secrets.Copy !req
57. Rest assured, they're safe
with me, Commander.Copy !req
58. I'm sure they are,
Dr. Bashir.Copy !req
59. In fact, Chief O'BrienCopy !req
60. I think you should place
a monitoring device on me.Copy !req
61. Well, just in case...Copy !req
62. he...Copy !req
63. he's up to something?Copy !req
64. I don't think that will be
necessary, Doctor.Copy !req
65. Just be very cautious when...Copy !req
66. Commander, we have a small craft
taking evasive action.Copy !req
67. Cardassian war vessel
in pursuit.Copy !req
68. On screen.Copy !req
69. That's Bajoran.Copy !req
70. That damned Cardassian's
firing at a Bajoran scout shipCopy !req
71. in Bajoran space.Copy !req
72. Mr. O'Brien?Copy !req
73. Confirmed, sir.Copy !req
74. They've crossed
into Bajoran space.Copy !req
75. Open a hailing frequency
to the Cardassians.Copy !req
76. Channel open.Copy !req
77. Cardassian vessel,
you are violating Bajoran space.Copy !req
78. Break off your pursuit.Copy !req
79. break off now.Copy !req
80. No reply
from the Cardassians.Copy !req
81. Bajoran vessel
is hailing us.Copy !req
82. Open the channel.Copy !req
83. Space station, do you read?Copy !req
84. Space station...Copy !req
85. We can only get audio,
Commander.Copy !req
86. This is Benjamin SiskoCopy !req
87. Starfleet Commander
of the station.Copy !req
88. Who are you?Copy !req
89. Why are they pursuing?Copy !req
90. Please! Repeating request
for emergency docking. Please!Copy !req
91. The Bajoran scout ship
is badly damaged.Copy !req
92. Structural integrity is failing.Copy !req
93. He's breaking up.Copy !req
94. Get him out, Mr. O'Brien.Copy !req
95. Aye, sir.Copy !req
96. Medical assistance to Ops.Copy !req
97. My name is Tahna Los.Copy !req
98. Request political asylum.Copy !req
99. Kira?Copy !req
100. Captioning sponsored by
PARAMOUNT PICTURESCopy !req
101. His name is Tahna Los.Copy !req
102. We fought together
in the underground.Copy !req
103. Commander, the Cardassians
are hailing us.Copy !req
104. Now they want to talk.Copy !req
105. They're hopping mad.Copy !req
106. Open the channel, Mr. O'Brien.Copy !req
107. Federation CommanderCopy !req
108. you have taken aboard
a known criminal.Copy !req
109. You will turn him over to us.Copy !req
110. He has requested asylum.Copy !req
111. You have not granted it?Copy !req
112. To be honest,
I haven't decided yet.Copy !req
113. He is Kohn-Ma.Copy !req
114. Not even the Bajorans
would grant his kind asylum.Copy !req
115. He has committed heinous crimes
against the Cardassian peopleCopy !req
116. and I demandCopy !req
117. that you release him
to our custody.Copy !req
118. I'll investigate the matter
immediately.Copy !req
119. In the interim, if you care
to dock your vesselCopy !req
120. I'll be glad
to hear an explanationCopy !req
121. for having violated
Bajoran spaceCopy !req
122. and threatened
a Federation facility.Copy !req
123. We have made no threat
to your facility.Copy !req
124. I stand corrected.Copy !req
125. Sisko out.Copy !req
126. The Major and I will
be at the Infirmary.Copy !req
127. I'd like some time to talk
with this fellow Tahna.Copy !req
128. When Gul Danar comes inCopy !req
129. it would be nice if we had
a few docking regulationsCopy !req
130. to keep him
outside a while.Copy !req
131. Understood.Copy !req
132. You're not seriously
consideringCopy !req
133. handing Tahna over
to the Cardassians?Copy !req
134. Were you part of
this Kohn-Ma, Major?Copy !req
135. If I had been,
I would not be workingCopy !req
136. with the provisional
government now.Copy !req
137. No, you'd still
be out thereCopy !req
138. murdering Cardassians,
or even some BajoranCopy !req
139. that the Kohn-Ma
hold in contempt.Copy !req
140. Didn't they claim
responsibilityCopy !req
141. for the assassinationCopy !req
142. of one of your First
Ministers last month?Copy !req
143. Look, I know Tahna.Copy !req
144. Is he Kohn-Ma?Copy !req
145. Yes, but...Copy !req
146. I suggest you get your
priorities straight, MajorCopy !req
147. because I don't have any
room for divided loyaltiesCopy !req
148. in this commandCopy !req
149. and I won't have
a Kohn-Ma terroristCopy !req
150. using this station
as a protective shieldCopy !req
151. for continuing violence.Copy !req
152. My priorities are straight,
Commander.Copy !req
153. Let's not be confused here.Copy !req
154. My loyalties are to BajorCopy !req
155. and Bajor needs men
like Tahna Los.Copy !req
156. Apparently, his war with the
Cardassians isn't over yet.Copy !req
157. If Bajor is ever to rebuildCopy !req
158. a strong and independent
societyCopy !req
159. it will require
the repatriationCopy !req
160. of splinter groups
like the Kohn-Ma.Copy !req
161. You have— we have—
an opportunity here, Commander.Copy !req
162. I hope you don't miss it.Copy !req
163. How is he?Copy !req
164. Second-degree
burns, lacerationsCopy !req
165. a minor concussion.Copy !req
166. Not much compared to what
he's been through before.Copy !req
167. Before?Copy !req
168. The most recent
of these scarsCopy !req
169. is only two, perhaps
three years old.Copy !req
170. Two and a half, actually.Copy !req
171. It's remarkable you
lived through this.Copy !req
172. It's a Cardassian technique
designed to keep you alive.Copy !req
173. I'm Commander
Benjamin Sisko.Copy !req
174. I have a few questions
for youCopy !req
175. if you're up
to answering them.Copy !req
176. Commander Sisko hasn't decidedCopy !req
177. whether or not to grant you
asylum yet, Tahna.Copy !req
178. Major, perhaps I should
conduct this alone.Copy !req
179. Major?Copy !req
180. I'm the liaison officer
to the Federation here...Copy !req
181. Still fighting for BajorCopy !req
182. in my own way.Copy !req
183. I'll stop by later.Copy !req
184. What do you need
to know, Commander?Copy !req
185. For starters,
why were they chasing you?Copy !req
186. You really want to hear
the story of my life?Copy !req
187. I assume, as a member
of the Kohn-MaCopy !req
188. you've committed serious acts
against them.Copy !req
189. Any one of a hundredCopy !req
190. that would lead
to a Cardassian death sentence.Copy !req
191. Any of them since
their withdrawal from Bajor?Copy !req
192. Frankly, yes.Copy !req
193. Why would youCopy !req
194. continue the violence
against them now?Copy !req
195. To be honest,
I'm not sure anymore.Copy !req
196. We say we're punishing them
for crimes committed against usCopy !req
197. for over
half a centuryCopy !req
198. but I've had enough
of the killing.Copy !req
199. I'm sorry, Commander.Copy !req
200. He needs rest now.Copy !req
201. Admiral, I think
Commander SiskoCopy !req
202. is being incredibly
short-sighted.Copy !req
203. He obviously
doesn't understandCopy !req
204. the issues involved.Copy !req
205. Thank you for bringing this
to my attention, Major.Copy !req
206. I'll stay in close touchCopy !req
207. with the situation.Copy !req
208. Thank you, Admiral.Copy !req
209. Sir, the Cardassian warship
has docked.Copy !req
210. Lieutenant Dax
is making sureCopy !req
211. that all procedural details
are precisely observedCopy !req
212. no matter how long it takes.Copy !req
213. Well done.Copy !req
214. I have some more researchCopy !req
215. to do on the Kohn-Ma
before I see them.Copy !req
216. Sir, I don't know muchCopy !req
217. about the Bajoran
terroristsCopy !req
218. but you've never fought
the Cardassians, have you?Copy !req
219. No.Copy !req
220. Well, you wouldn't want
to turn a man— any man—Copy !req
221. over to their
tender care, sir.Copy !req
222. You just wouldn't.Copy !req
223. Subspace transmissionCopy !req
224. from Admiral Rollman
for you, Commander.Copy !req
225. In my office.Copy !req
226. Ben, that Bajoran womanCopy !req
227. you have working for you
interrupted a staff meetingCopy !req
228. to tell me how she disapprovesCopy !req
229. of your handling
of this asylum matter.Copy !req
230. I think you have
a problem there, Commander.Copy !req
231. Yes, Admiral.Copy !req
232. It's all right.Copy !req
233. You're safe.Copy !req
234. Strange to run
into each other here, isn't it?Copy !req
235. It's good to be with someoneCopy !req
236. who knows what
it's been like out there.Copy !req
237. Wearing that uniform,
I thought maybe you'd forgotten.Copy !req
238. Never.Copy !req
239. No?Copy !req
240. Working on the
inside hasn't dulledCopy !req
241. that old fire
just a little?Copy !req
242. Uh... ask Sisko about that.Copy !req
243. Don't get along?Copy !req
244. Oil and water.Copy !req
245. You're tired.
I should go.Copy !req
246. Kira?Copy !req
247. Do you think he'll give me
to the Cardassians?Copy !req
248. Over my dead body.Copy !req
249. Now, that's the Kira I remember.Copy !req
250. If you require all vesselsCopy !req
251. to endure such lengthy
docking procedures, CommanderCopy !req
252. you're going to haveCopy !req
253. a lot of impatient
traffic out there.Copy !req
254. I apologize.Copy !req
255. We're still trying
to repair all the damageCopy !req
256. your forces did
before they left.Copy !req
257. It does create
unreasonable delays.Copy !req
258. I accept your apology,
but not your explanation.Copy !req
259. What about Tahna Los?Copy !req
260. Well, we've got a problem.Copy !req
261. A diplomatic insult
to the Cardassian peopleCopy !req
262. would be a problem.Copy !req
263. Delivering a wanted criminal
to us would not be.Copy !req
264. DanarCopy !req
265. in war, both sides
commit atrocities.Copy !req
266. I can only tell you
that we are certainCopy !req
267. he plans to commit
more acts of terrorism.Copy !req
268. He tells me that he has
renounced the Kohn-MaCopy !req
269. and wants to help
to rebuild Bajor.Copy !req
270. He has committed brutal acts
of destruction and murderCopy !req
271. and he must pay
for those crimes.Copy !req
272. I appreciate the
Cardassian positionCopy !req
273. but I know if a Bajoran
freedom fighterCopy !req
274. is turned over
to the CardassiansCopy !req
275. by the FederationCopy !req
276. that would be a mistake
that would undermineCopy !req
277. everything that I'm
trying to accomplish here.Copy !req
278. So, with apologiesCopy !req
279. I'm going to grant him
asylum for the time being.Copy !req
280. Eventually, he'll want
to relocate to BajorCopy !req
281. and if you want
to pursue the matterCopy !req
282. with the provisional government,
then that's your business.Copy !req
283. How long since
you've slept in
a comfortable bed?Copy !req
284. I can adapt to that part
very quickly, thank you.Copy !req
285. I'm glad you're here.Copy !req
286. We need you, Tahna.Copy !req
287. I don't think the Federation
has any useCopy !req
288. for my particular talents.Copy !req
289. I mean,
Bajor needs you.Copy !req
290. If you had the impression
that I'm a Federation officerCopy !req
291. in any way,
I promise you, I...Copy !req
292. I thought you were
under Sisko's command.Copy !req
293. I am, but...Copy !req
294. Now, you see,
that's somethingCopy !req
295. I could never adapt to.Copy !req
296. Someone has to
coordinate relationsCopy !req
297. between the Federation
and the provisional government.Copy !req
298. At least, with
someone like me here...Copy !req
299. Why?Copy !req
300. Why should they
be here at all?Copy !req
301. What right does this
so-called provisional
government haveCopy !req
302. to bring them here after
all we fought for, Kira?Copy !req
303. Freedom from domination.Copy !req
304. True independence.Copy !req
305. No outsiders.Copy !req
306. No Cardassians
and no Federation.Copy !req
307. Things have changed, Tahna.Copy !req
308. With the discovery
of the wormhole...Copy !req
309. Oh, yes, the wormhole.Copy !req
310. Look, I don't want
the Federation hereCopy !req
311. any more than you doCopy !req
312. but they are serving a purpose,
for the time being at least.Copy !req
313. Without the FederationCopy !req
314. the Cardassians would
be back in a minuteCopy !req
315. to take control
of the wormholeCopy !req
316. and the wormhole is
the future of Bajor, Tahna.Copy !req
317. It's bringing ships
and commerce.Copy !req
318. It's making us
a power in the quadrant.Copy !req
319. I don't want to be a power
in the quadrant.Copy !req
320. I want Bajor for Bajorans.Copy !req
321. I want our
homeland back.Copy !req
322. We have it back.Copy !req
323. And, as we grow strongerCopy !req
324. we'll be able to
defend it ourselvesCopy !req
325. without having to lean
on the FederationCopy !req
326. or anyone else.Copy !req
327. I know it's difficult to see
after all we've been through.Copy !req
328. We want it all now.Copy !req
329. But with people like you
leading the way...Copy !req
330. You have adaptedCopy !req
331. haven't you?Copy !req
332. Tahna, I have put myself
on the line for you here.Copy !req
333. You are finished
with the Kohn-Ma?Copy !req
334. Yes.Copy !req
335. Yes, I am finished
with the Kohn-Ma.Copy !req
336. I've been talking with
several of the ministersCopy !req
337. of the provisional government
about amnestyCopy !req
338. for you and any member of
the Kohn-Ma who follows you.Copy !req
339. Well, there are some
who might...Copy !req
340. if there were assurances.Copy !req
341. I'm working on it, Tahna.Copy !req
342. I'll find a way
to make it happen.Copy !req
343. What?Copy !req
344. Sir, we've had
a little problem.Copy !req
345. These two womenCopy !req
346. are just arriving.Copy !req
347. They objected to
giving up their weapons.Copy !req
348. Klingons do not
surrender their weapons.Copy !req
349. Who are you?Copy !req
350. We are Lursa and B'Etor
of the house of Duras.Copy !req
351. And we have
specific regulations.Copy !req
352. You can leave the weapons
or leave the station.Copy !req
353. Your choice.Copy !req
354. Please
make it now.Copy !req
355. Who are you?Copy !req
356. I'm the one
giving you the choice.Copy !req
357. Welcome to DS9.Copy !req
358. We have some new guests
you might be interested in.Copy !req
359. A couple of Klingon sistersCopy !req
360. from the Duras family.Copy !req
361. Lursa and B'Etor.Copy !req
362. You know them then?Copy !req
363. They tried to grab control
of the Klingon High Council.Copy !req
364. Started a brief civil war.Copy !req
365. They've been out
of sight since then.Copy !req
366. I ran a security check.Copy !req
367. The Klingons have them
listed as renegades.Copy !req
368. We've heard they've been
trying to raise capitalCopy !req
369. to rebuild their armies.Copy !req
370. What are they doing here?Copy !req
371. Sitting.Copy !req
372. They went straight to Quark's,
but not for the gamblingCopy !req
373. and certainly not for the food.Copy !req
374. They're just sitting.Copy !req
375. I don't like it.Copy !req
376. Why don't I...
lock them upCopy !req
377. and call the Klingons
to come get them?Copy !req
378. Odo.Copy !req
379. If they're enemies
of the Klingon High Council...Copy !req
380. They haven't broken
any laws here.Copy !req
381. You can't just
throw them in jail.Copy !req
382. You know, Cardassian rule
may have been oppressiveCopy !req
383. but at least
it was simple.Copy !req
384. Keep an eye on them.Copy !req
385. As you wish, Commander.Copy !req
386. And how are you this evening,
Mr. Garak?Copy !req
387. Excuse me.Copy !req
388. Just plain, simple Garak,
you said.Copy !req
389. Plain and simple.Copy !req
390. Join me, Doctor.Copy !req
391. Enhance my evening.Copy !req
392. Keeping an eye on the ebb
and flow of things, are you?Copy !req
393. As a clothierCopy !req
394. I do have a keen interestCopy !req
395. on what the population
is wearingCopy !req
396. from day to day.Copy !req
397. Klingons have an odd
sense of style.Copy !req
398. Don't you agree?Copy !req
399. Oh, yes, they do.Copy !req
400. But intriguing.Copy !req
401. I would sayCopy !req
402. that those two outfits
are worth studying closely.Copy !req
403. Look.Copy !req
404. All right,
where's the payment?Copy !req
405. It's on its way.Copy !req
406. That was not
the arrangement.Copy !req
407. I couldn't stop to get it.Copy !req
408. I barely got past
the Cardassians.Copy !req
409. Your safety
is not our concern.Copy !req
410. Your gold is.Copy !req
411. It will be available tomorrow.Copy !req
412. Good.Copy !req
413. Because if we have made
this trip for nothingCopy !req
414. you will have made
a fatal mistake.Copy !req
415. I managed to
arrange a hearingCopy !req
416. of the Ministers' Court.Copy !req
417. Any predictions?Copy !req
418. Well, I have two
of the ministers—Copy !req
419. the smart ones— ready
to vote for amnesty.Copy !req
420. I'm sure one of the others
will fall in line.Copy !req
421. Good.Copy !req
422. And Tahna says two
more of the Kohn-MaCopy !req
423. are willing
to follow himCopy !req
424. if you'll guarantee
their safety.Copy !req
425. Done.Copy !req
426. I have to say this, Commander.Copy !req
427. When we first talkedCopy !req
428. I wasn't sure you...Copy !req
429. This wouldn't have been possible
without your support.Copy !req
430. I want you to know
it's appreciated.Copy !req
431. Be sure to mention itCopy !req
432. the next time you chat
with Admiral Rollman.Copy !req
433. Sir?Copy !req
434. Go over my head againCopy !req
435. and I'll have yours
on a platter.Copy !req
436. So, Constable, news
about our Klingon sisters?Copy !req
437. They seem to make
friends easily.Copy !req
438. Friends?Copy !req
439. Our reformed Kohn-Ma,
for example.Copy !req
440. Tahna, with Lursa
and B'Etor?Copy !req
441. Talking about
a business arrangement.Copy !req
442. He's paying them
for something.Copy !req
443. I don't know what.Copy !req
444. The gold is
supposedly on its way.Copy !req
445. Two other members of the Kohn-Ma
may be bringing it.Copy !req
446. How do you know that?Copy !req
447. Major Kira mentioned
that they were on their way.Copy !req
448. Do you want her
to know about this?Copy !req
449. Not quite yet.Copy !req
450. You are the clothier Garak?Copy !req
451. At your service, madam.Copy !req
452. May I show you some
of our latest fashions?Copy !req
453. Perhaps some silk lingerieCopy !req
454. from Kraus IV?Copy !req
455. Watch your tongue,
Cardassian, or I'llCopy !req
456. rip it out and eat it!Copy !req
457. I meant no offense.Copy !req
458. I have few Klingon patrons.Copy !req
459. So, is there something
you wish to buy?Copy !req
460. We're not here to buy.Copy !req
461. We are here to sell.Copy !req
462. We understandCopy !req
463. you still represent
Cardassian interests here.Copy !req
464. Ah, I am only a simple
clothing merchant.Copy !req
465. We have no time
for your games!Copy !req
466. Do you want Tahna Los
or not?Copy !req
467. Are you in a position
to deliver the BajoranCopy !req
468. to Cardassian
authorities?Copy !req
469. What is he worth to them?Copy !req
470. In gold-pressed latinum?Copy !req
471. You insult us!Copy !req
472. Ladies, ladies, please.Copy !req
473. Everything is negotiable.Copy !req
474. I am no more
than what I seem to be—Copy !req
475. a merchant trying to make
the best transaction.Copy !req
476. So... let us haggle.Copy !req
477. Yes?Copy !req
478. I have
the third minister's vote.Copy !req
479. The hearing is simply
a formality now.Copy !req
480. You are going
to receive amnesty, Tahna.Copy !req
481. I never realized you were such
an accomplished politician.Copy !req
482. Me? A politician?Copy !req
483. No, I don't think so.Copy !req
484. You manipulate Sisko
and the FederationCopy !req
485. the ministers
of the provisional government...Copy !req
486. I'm just determined.Copy !req
487. I think they all simply
get tired of hearing my voice.Copy !req
488. And here we expected to findCopy !req
489. that Kira Nerys had lost
the fire in her heart.Copy !req
490. What are you talking about?Copy !req
491. You knew I was here
before you even came.Copy !req
492. Tahna, I trusted you.Copy !req
493. I am Kohn-Ma.Copy !req
494. I fight for the freedom
of Bajor.Copy !req
495. You once fought
for it, as well.Copy !req
496. I'm still fighting for it.Copy !req
497. Stop deluding yourself!Copy !req
498. You say you don't believe
in the Federation.Copy !req
499. You say you don't believe
in the provisional governmentCopy !req
500. and yet you are
their dance instructor.Copy !req
501. That's not fair.Copy !req
502. Don't be naive, Major!Copy !req
503. I don't want the Federation
here, but, for now...Copy !req
504. Once you're in your comfortable
bed with the FederationCopy !req
505. you won't be able to get out.Copy !req
506. We won't be able to get out.Copy !req
507. If you expect me to commitCopy !req
508. some act of violence
against the Federation...Copy !req
509. No... no, the violence is over.Copy !req
510. That is the truth.Copy !req
511. No one will get hurt in any way.Copy !req
512. I promise you that.Copy !req
513. But I do need your help.Copy !req
514. You already lied
to me, Tahna.Copy !req
515. I know how
the game works.Copy !req
516. To do what we planCopy !req
517. we need a small ship
capable of warp speed.Copy !req
518. I gambled that
I could convince youCopy !req
519. to get it for us.Copy !req
520. And just what is
this peaceful plan?Copy !req
521. In one move,
and nonviolentlyCopy !req
522. we accomplish everything
both of us has ever wantedCopy !req
523. for Bajor.Copy !req
524. How?Copy !req
525. I know the game, too, Kira.Copy !req
526. You know I cannot risk
telling you that.Copy !req
527. How do you know I won't
just go straight to Sisko?Copy !req
528. Well, if you do,
then we'll both knowCopy !req
529. where your loyalties areCopy !req
530. won't we?Copy !req
531. Ah, plain,
simple Garak.Copy !req
532. How are
you today?Copy !req
533. Being observant, Doctor.Copy !req
534. I'm sure of it.Copy !req
535. There's a time for levity,
my young friendCopy !req
536. and a time
for genuine concern.Copy !req
537. The arrival on this station,
for instanceCopy !req
538. of those two Kohn-Ma
terrorists.Copy !req
539. Terrorists?Copy !req
540. What are they doing here?Copy !req
541. I'm not exactly sure,
but, togetherCopy !req
542. we might have some success
at finding out.Copy !req
543. Garak, I'm a doctor, not...Copy !req
544. And, once you do have
the appropriate answerCopy !req
545. I'm sure you'll knowCopy !req
546. what to do with it.Copy !req
547. I really must
be getting along now.Copy !req
548. Uh... Doctor...Copy !req
549. I think it's time for you
to take advantage of my shop.Copy !req
550. If you'll be there
at exactly 2055 hours tonightCopy !req
551. I promise to show you a suitCopy !req
552. that will make you
into a new man.Copy !req
553. A suit?Copy !req
554. We're talking
about terroristsCopy !req
555. and you want me
to buy a new suit.Copy !req
556. Doctor, am I making
myself clear?Copy !req
557. I want you to buy
a new suit tonight at 2055...Copy !req
558. exactly.Copy !req
559. Uh, yes.Copy !req
560. I see.Copy !req
561. Well, if you'll excuse me.Copy !req
562. Mmm.Copy !req
563. A suit.Copy !req
564. Mmm.Copy !req
565. Major.Copy !req
566. Commander.Copy !req
567. I'd like to meet
the two Kohn-Ma
who just arrivedCopy !req
568. as soon as possible.Copy !req
569. Of course.Copy !req
570. I'll arrange it.Copy !req
571. How do they seem to you?Copy !req
572. Sir?Copy !req
573. Do you feel
as secure about themCopy !req
574. as you do
about Tahna Los?Copy !req
575. Absolutely.Copy !req
576. Commander Sisko.Copy !req
577. I need some guidance.Copy !req
578. Yes, Doctor.Copy !req
579. It's about Garak—
the Cardassian.Copy !req
580. I'm afraid
this relationshipCopy !req
581. has gotten
a little out of hand.Copy !req
582. How's that?Copy !req
583. He wants me
to buy a suit.Copy !req
584. A suit?Copy !req
585. At exactly 2055 tonight.Copy !req
586. Why 2055?Copy !req
587. I don't know,
but it has something to doCopy !req
588. with those two Bajoran
terrorists on board.Copy !req
589. He says that, together,
he and I might discoverCopy !req
590. what they're
really doing here.Copy !req
591. I don't understand
why he wants me involved.Copy !req
592. Sometimes communications
can't be conductedCopy !req
593. through official channels.Copy !req
594. Maybe this is their way
of telling usCopy !req
595. that we have a common enemy.Copy !req
596. Well, what do you
want me to do?Copy !req
597. I think, Doctor, you could
definitely use a new suit.Copy !req
598. Busy?Copy !req
599. What can I do for you?Copy !req
600. Are, um... are all
the security measures in placeCopy !req
601. for the trip
to the Ministers' Court?Copy !req
602. I told you they'd be
taken care of and they will.Copy !req
603. Fine.Copy !req
604. You know, there's one thing
about you humanoidsCopy !req
605. I can't imitate very well.Copy !req
606. What's that?Copy !req
607. Pretense.Copy !req
608. There's a special talent to it.Copy !req
609. It's as hard for meCopy !req
610. as creating one
of your noses.Copy !req
611. Maybe that's why I've learned
to respect your opinionCopy !req
612. Constable—
never any pretense.Copy !req
613. How much do you know
about me, Odo?Copy !req
614. More than you probably realize.Copy !req
615. I've done some things
I'm not proud of.Copy !req
616. I still have nightmares about
the raids on the Haru OutpostCopy !req
617. but at least I was sure
about what I was doing then.Copy !req
618. And...Copy !req
619. there's something
you're not sure of now.Copy !req
620. You have no more love
for the Federation than I do.Copy !req
621. Meaning?Copy !req
622. Maybe there are still wars
to be foughtCopy !req
623. and I'm just
making a fool of myselfCopy !req
624. doing what I'm doing here.Copy !req
625. It sounds like you're trying to
talk yourself into something...Copy !req
626. or out of something.Copy !req
627. Either way,
I have to betray someone.Copy !req
628. The only important thing
is not to betray yourself.Copy !req
629. How could I possibly turn
against my own people?Copy !req
630. Are theyCopy !req
631. your own people?Copy !req
632. They're no different
than I used to be.Copy !req
633. Used to be?Copy !req
634. I could just refuse
to help them—Copy !req
635. ignore the whole thing.Copy !req
636. The Joranian ostrich hides by
sticking its head underwater—Copy !req
637. sometimes even until it drowns.Copy !req
638. And they'd find a wayCopy !req
639. to do whatever
they want to do anywayCopy !req
640. and I'd still feel responsible
for the consequences.Copy !req
641. It was so much easier
when I knew who the enemy was.Copy !req
642. Odo to Sisko.Copy !req
643. Go ahead.Copy !req
644. There's someone down in here
in securityCopy !req
645. who wants to talk
to you, Commander.Copy !req
646. Come in quickly, Doctor.Copy !req
647. You're late.Copy !req
648. It's 2057.Copy !req
649. Now just take thisCopy !req
650. and try it on
as many times as you like.Copy !req
651. And stay very,
very quiet.Copy !req
652. I was just...Copy !req
653. Ah, right on time.Copy !req
654. Welcome.Copy !req
655. Save your welcome,
Cardassian.Copy !req
656. Do your people
want the Bajoran or not?Copy !req
657. I can now venture to say,
with some certaintyCopy !req
658. that you will receive
the agreed-upon paymentCopy !req
659. on delivery.Copy !req
660. We will complete
our business with Tahna LosCopy !req
661. in four hours.Copy !req
662. And what business
might that be?Copy !req
663. That is not your concern.Copy !req
664. If it requires
that those I representCopy !req
665. must take extra precautions,
it becomes my concern.Copy !req
666. We will deliver him
a cylinder of bilitrium.Copy !req
667. The rendezvous will beCopy !req
668. on the dark side
of Bajor VIII's lower moon.Copy !req
669. The Cardassians
can have him then.Copy !req
670. What's bilitrium?Copy !req
671. Ah, a rare,
crystalline elementCopy !req
672. that can be an incredibly
powerful source of energyCopy !req
673. provided, of course, one has
an antimatter converter.Copy !req
674. Unfortunately,
that's why CardassiansCopy !req
675. were chasing Tahna Los
when he arrived here.Copy !req
676. He stole one.Copy !req
677. But if he's got both...Copy !req
678. Quite right, Doctor.Copy !req
679. He has the ingredients
for a bomb—Copy !req
680. a bomb of significant
destructive capability.Copy !req
681. We have nothing
to hold them on.Copy !req
682. They haven't
committed any crime yet.Copy !req
683. Conspiracy is a crime.Copy !req
684. Conspiracy
to what?Copy !req
685. We don't even
know what
their plan is.Copy !req
686. Once the switch with
the Klingons is madeCopy !req
687. you've got them holding
the componentsCopy !req
688. to an explosive device.Copy !req
689. That's evidence
enough right there.Copy !req
690. Chief O'Brien is right.Copy !req
691. We have to give
them the runabout.Copy !req
692. Agreed.Copy !req
693. And I have to be on it.Copy !req
694. Not agreed, Major.Copy !req
695. Commander,
Tahna doesn't knowCopy !req
696. if he can trust me
as it is.Copy !req
697. If I try to stay behind,
he won't buy into this.Copy !req
698. The only way
to convince him
is if I'm on board.Copy !req
699. If Tahna failsCopy !req
700. I promise you,
others will try.Copy !req
701. At least this way,
you can find outCopy !req
702. what they're up to.Copy !req
703. Mr. O'BrienCopy !req
704. you and I will take a runaboutCopy !req
705. to a point behind
the second moon of Bajor VIIICopy !req
706. to avoid detection.Copy !req
707. Aye, sir.Copy !req
708. Dax, stay in touch with us
on a secured channel.Copy !req
709. Keep an eye
on the Cardassians.Copy !req
710. They'll be coming
to the party, too.Copy !req
711. You get him there, Major.Copy !req
712. We'll be waiting.Copy !req
713. They're moving
into the runabout.Copy !req
714. Acknowledged.Copy !req
715. DS9 to Ganges.Copy !req
716. Go ahead.Copy !req
717. They're in the Yangtzee Kiang.Copy !req
718. They're initializing
prelaunch systems now.Copy !req
719. Understood, Lieutenant.Copy !req
720. Shut down
all main power systems.Copy !req
721. Dead quiet.Copy !req
722. Bajor VIII
in 120,000 kilometers.Copy !req
723. Dropping to impulse.Copy !req
724. What is that?Copy !req
725. An antimatter converter.Copy !req
726. I'm transferring power
from the ship's warp driveCopy !req
727. into the storage cells.Copy !req
728. We've got a Klingon bird-of-prey
de-cloaking dead ahead.Copy !req
729. It's all right.Copy !req
730. We're here to meet them.Copy !req
731. Klingons? Why?Copy !req
732. You'll know soon enough.Copy !req
733. The Klingons have powered up
their transporters.Copy !req
734. Prepare to go to full impulse.Copy !req
735. 13 kilogramsCopy !req
736. of gold-pressed latinum,
as promised.Copy !req
737. This is yours.Copy !req
738. 'eH. HImaH!Copy !req
739. What is it?Copy !req
740. Bajoran independence.Copy !req
741. Bird-of-prey
is moving off
and cloaking.Copy !req
742. Set up an intercept course
for the runabout.Copy !req
743. Intercept
in one minuteCopy !req
744. 12 seconds.Copy !req
745. DS9 to Ganges.Copy !req
746. Ganges.Copy !req
747. The Cardassian Warship AldaraCopy !req
748. is crossing the border,
BenjaminCopy !req
749. on an intercept course
with the Yangtzee Kiang.Copy !req
750. They'll enter Bajoran spaceCopy !req
751. in 29 seconds.Copy !req
752. Acknowledged.Copy !req
753. The Yangtzee's sensors should
be picking us up now, sir.Copy !req
754. What is that?Copy !req
755. It's another runabout.Copy !req
756. They must have been
waiting for us here.Copy !req
757. How did they know?Copy !req
758. We also have a Cardassian
warship three minutes away.Copy !req
759. The Klingons must have
sold us out.Copy !req
760. Prepare to engage warp engines.Copy !req
761. There's nowhere to run,
Tahna.Copy !req
762. We don't have to go far.Copy !req
763. I should have known.Copy !req
764. Now set the course for DS9.Copy !req
765. No.Copy !req
766. If you don't, I'll explode
the bomb right here and destroyCopy !req
767. all six colonies
on Bajor VIII.Copy !req
768. You would kill thousands
of your own people for this?Copy !req
769. The question is
whether you would kill themCopy !req
770. by refusing to set the course.Copy !req
771. They've gone to warp.Copy !req
772. Follow them.Copy !req
773. Ganges to Yangtzee Kiang.Copy !req
774. Drop out of warp,
or we'll open fire.Copy !req
775. Reduce your power immediatelyCopy !req
776. or we will open fire.Copy !req
777. I doubt he'll shoot
while his Major is on boardCopy !req
778. but just in case...Copy !req
779. This is the voice
of the Kohn-Ma.Copy !req
780. There is an armed
bilitrium explosive deviceCopy !req
781. on board this ship.Copy !req
782. Fire on us,
and you will detonate it.Copy !req
783. If that device goes off
while they're at warpCopy !req
784. they'll spread radiation
across half the system.Copy !req
785. He's headed straight back
to the station.Copy !req
786. This is the Federation
Vessel GangesCopy !req
787. to the Cardassian
Warship Aldara.Copy !req
788. So... we're finally allies,
Commander.Copy !req
789. Gul DanarCopy !req
790. the Federation Runabout
Yangtzee KiangCopy !req
791. is carrying an explosive
bilitrium device.Copy !req
792. Can you interceptCopy !req
793. before it reaches
the space station?Copy !req
794. Our time to intercept
is two minutes, 14 seconds.Copy !req
795. That's about a minute
too late, Commander.Copy !req
796. If I may take
this opportunity to sayCopy !req
797. that I warned you...Copy !req
798. Can we get them
in a tractor beam?Copy !req
799. Not at these speeds.Copy !req
800. They have 27
seconds on us.Copy !req
801. We may have to shoot
them down, Commander.Copy !req
802. Ready photons, Chief.Copy !req
803. We'll fire as soon
as they slow to impulse.Copy !req
804. Aye, sir.Copy !req
805. 100,000 kilometers
to DS9.Copy !req
806. This is your idea of
a nonviolent solution?Copy !req
807. You realize
there are hundredsCopy !req
808. of Bajoran civilians
aboard the station?Copy !req
809. No one's going
to be hurt, Kira.Copy !req
810. Adjust your course
to take a vectored approachCopy !req
811. past the mouth
of the wormhole.Copy !req
812. The wormhole...Copy !req
813. It's not the space station
you're after.Copy !req
814. You can't
possibly believe
you can destroyCopy !req
815. the wormhole with that device?Copy !req
816. I don't have to destroy it—
just collapse the entrance.Copy !req
817. You're only hurting Bajor
by doing this, Tahna.Copy !req
818. No more wormholeCopy !req
819. no more Federation
or Cardassians...Copy !req
820. or anyone.Copy !req
821. Drop out of warp.Copy !req
822. Now!Copy !req
823. My God, they're going
into the wormholeCopy !req
824. at full impulse.Copy !req
825. Damn you.Copy !req
826. Sisko to Kira.Copy !req
827. Are you all right, Major?Copy !req
828. No, she's not all right,
Commander!Copy !req
829. And if you want her alive,
you'll do exactly as I say!Copy !req
830. Listen to me carefully, Tahna.Copy !req
831. You can either
surrender now, to meCopy !req
832. or you can wait
for the Cardassian warshipCopy !req
833. and I can let them
deal with you this time.Copy !req
834. Your choice.Copy !req
835. There'll be no further
resistance, Commander.Copy !req
836. Tahna...Copy !req
837. the old ways
don't work anymore.Copy !req
838. Everything
is different now.Copy !req
839. I had to do this.Copy !req
840. One day, you'll understand.Copy !req
