1. Station Log, Stardate 46910.1.Copy !req
2. Chief O'Brien
has escorted his wifeCopy !req
3. back to Earth to celebrate
her mother's 100th birthday.Copy !req
4. In the meantime,
the rest of us are tryingCopy !req
5. to keep the station
up and running.Copy !req
6. It's almost as if the
refiltration processorsCopy !req
7. were waiting for
Chief O'Brien to leaveCopy !req
8. before breaking down.Copy !req
9. This technology looks like
something the CardassiansCopy !req
10. must have taken
from the Romulans.Copy !req
11. Is that an RCL type-1
matrix field?Copy !req
12. Perhaps we should
call in a Romulan
repair service.Copy !req
13. Or an RCL type-2?Copy !req
14. Another raktajino?Copy !req
15. It'll keep me up
all night.Copy !req
16. I can think of better
ways of keeping you upCopy !req
17. and they're more fun than
drinking Klingon coffee.Copy !req
18. Definitely type-1.Copy !req
19. Dax.Copy !req
20. I really should be
getting to bed.Copy !req
21. May I escort you
to your quarters?Copy !req
22. That's not necessary,
Julian.Copy !req
23. Oh.Copy !req
24. Well, good night, then.Copy !req
25. "Not necessary, Julian."Copy !req
26. But not forbidden, either.Copy !req
27. Dax.Copy !req
28. Yes.Copy !req
29. You are Dax?Copy !req
30. What do you want?Copy !req
31. Dax!Copy !req
32. Captioning sponsored by
PARAMOUNT PICTURESCopy !req
33. Yes, Major?Copy !req
34. I'm just not sure,
Commander.Copy !req
35. What does it
look like to you?Copy !req
36. It looks like a
residual chargeCopy !req
37. in the graviton
generator.Copy !req
38. If that's what it is,
it will bleed off.Copy !req
39. Let's run a quick level-3
diagnostic, just to be sure.Copy !req
40. Bashir to Ops.Copy !req
41. Ops.Copy !req
42. Three people...Copy !req
43. I think they just took Jadzia.Copy !req
44. She tried to struggle with them,
and I tried to help, but...Copy !req
45. Full station
security alert.Copy !req
46. Secure all turbolifts.Copy !req
47. Seal off airlocks
on levels four through 12.Copy !req
48. Computer, locate Lieutenant Dax.Copy !req
49. Lieutenant Dax is on level six,
corridor one.Copy !req
50. No, that's where I am.Copy !req
51. They just left her combadge.Copy !req
52. How long ago, Doctor?Copy !req
53. Oh, I'm not sure, really.Copy !req
54. What are you doing?Copy !req
55. We turn right
at the next corridor.Copy !req
56. They're managing to avoid
the security tracking grid.Copy !req
57. They seem to know a lot
about the station.Copy !req
58. Then they may know
the speed of our runabouts.Copy !req
59. If they do,
they probably haveCopy !req
60. a faster ship
to make their escape.Copy !req
61. Major, survey all ships in dock
with a high warp capability.Copy !req
62. Damn!Copy !req
63. What?Copy !req
64. That's why we've got
a residual chargeCopy !req
65. in the graviton generator.Copy !req
66. They've disabledCopy !req
67. the tractor beam.Copy !req
68. We've got eight ships in dock
capable of warp five or more.Copy !req
69. Three on docking pylonsCopy !req
70. five smaller ones
in the ports.Copy !req
71. Seal off
all docking ring airlocks.Copy !req
72. Security, all duty squads
to the docking ring.Copy !req
73. Commence immediate inward
sweep, levels 16 through 21.Copy !req
74. I've got them— Airlock 5.Copy !req
75. I'm on my way.Copy !req
76. Security, report to airlock,
corridor five.Copy !req
77. We have a hostage situation.Copy !req
78. Isolating with
cadderon force fields.Copy !req
79. Will you just tell
me what you want?Copy !req
80. Move.Copy !req
81. Force field is down.Copy !req
82. They know the security
override codes.Copy !req
83. They're boarding a ship.Copy !req
84. I'm trying to speed up
the bleed-off processCopy !req
85. in the graviton generator.Copy !req
86. We lost them.Copy !req
87. It's working.Copy !req
88. I'm increasing the flow
to the EPS wave guides.Copy !req
89. The excess charge
is neutralizing.Copy !req
90. Engage tractor beam.Copy !req
91. Gotcha.Copy !req
92. Bring it in
to Docking Port 6, Major.Copy !req
93. Slowly!Copy !req
94. Extremities where
I can see them.Copy !req
95. You're the Chief
of Security?Copy !req
96. Are you all right?Copy !req
97. My name is Ilon TandroCopy !req
98. special envoy
from Klaestron IVCopy !req
99. in charge of this
extradition procedure.Copy !req
100. Extradition? I call this
kidnapping and assault.Copy !req
101. You'll find that to be
a valid warrant for her arrest.Copy !req
102. The relevant treatyCopy !req
103. between Klaestron IV
and your FederationCopy !req
104. allows for unilateral
extradition.Copy !req
105. And the charge?Copy !req
106. The fugitive Dax
is charged with treason...Copy !req
107. and the murder of my father.Copy !req
108. The warrant says
Dax was responsibleCopy !req
109. for the death of
General Ardelon TandroCopy !req
110. 30 years ago.Copy !req
111. 30 years ago?Copy !req
112. That would have been
Curzon Dax.Copy !req
113. Mmm, when he was
on Klaestron IVCopy !req
114. as a Federation mediator
during their civil war.Copy !req
115. He never mentionedCopy !req
116. he'd even been
to Klaestron IV.Copy !req
117. Strange.Copy !req
118. Not so strange,
considering these charges.Copy !req
119. Odo, let me tell you something.Copy !req
120. Curzon Dax tended to be
a little cavalier about lifeCopy !req
121. even about his personal
responsibilitiesCopy !req
122. from time to time.Copy !req
123. I think that was
part of the reasonCopy !req
124. I liked him so much.Copy !req
125. He had more faultsCopy !req
126. than the usual
socially acceptable Trill.Copy !req
127. He was not a murderer.Copy !req
128. How about a traitor?Copy !req
129. It says Dax betrayed
the Klaestron governmentCopy !req
130. to the rebels.Copy !req
131. It's all nonsense,
Constable.Copy !req
132. I'm telling you
I knew the man.Copy !req
133. But did you knowCopy !req
134. the symbiont
inside the man?Copy !req
135. Come in.Copy !req
136. I've sent a subspace message
to Klaestron IVCopy !req
137. requesting confirmation
of the warrant.Copy !req
138. That's the only stall
I could think of.Copy !req
139. Now, what the hell's
going on, Dax?Copy !req
140. Dax.Copy !req
141. If I'm going to help you,
you've got to help me.Copy !req
142. I don't expect any help,
Benjamin.Copy !req
143. Thank you, though.Copy !req
144. Are you crazy?Copy !req
145. Treason and murder—Copy !req
146. on Klaestron IVCopy !req
147. either of those gets you
the death penalty.Copy !req
148. What's the matter with you?Copy !req
149. Talk to me, before I have
to let these people take you.Copy !req
150. No. I'm sorry, Benjamin,
but no.Copy !req
151. We've got 18, 20 years
of friendship behind us.Copy !req
152. I'm Jadzia Dax now.Copy !req
153. That was Curzon Dax
you knew for 20 years.Copy !req
154. So when the Dax part
of you survivedCopy !req
155. from one host to the nextCopy !req
156. it really didn't take
our friendship along.Copy !req
157. Benjamin, you knowCopy !req
158. you're still my
very dear friend.Copy !req
159. I'm sorry.Copy !req
160. You've received
your confirmation, Commander.Copy !req
161. Now we'd like to be on
our way with the prisoner.Copy !req
162. You know, Mr. Tandro,
I kept wonderingCopy !req
163. why you tried to kidnap
Lieutenant DaxCopy !req
164. rather than just present
your warrant to meCopy !req
165. in the proper way.Copy !req
166. I couldn't figure
that out at first.Copy !req
167. I trust you have figured out,
CommanderCopy !req
168. that our extradition treaty
with your FederationCopy !req
169. is current and valid.Copy !req
170. This station is
technically Bajoran.Copy !req
171. What does that mean to us?Copy !req
172. You don't have an extradition
treaty with Bajor.Copy !req
173. I think that's why you tried
to abductCopy !req
174. Lieutenant Dax.Copy !req
175. You were afraid
the BajoransCopy !req
176. would refuse
extradition.Copy !req
177. That's absurd.Copy !req
178. No Bajoran interests
are even involved here.Copy !req
179. How did you know your way
around this station so well?Copy !req
180. My conversation
is with the Commander.Copy !req
181. No, your conversationCopy !req
182. is with my First Officer now.Copy !req
183. You Klaestrons are allies
of the Cardassians.Copy !req
184. Your knowledge
of this station
confirms that.Copy !req
185. They must have
given you the layoutCopy !req
186. which not only compromises
Bajoran securityCopy !req
187. but also... annoys us.Copy !req
188. I'm afraid Bajoran interests
are involvedCopy !req
189. and Bajor is adamant that—Copy !req
190. at least, I believe
it's adamant.Copy !req
191. Oh. Oh, yes.Copy !req
192. You see, there will haveCopy !req
193. to be an extradition
hearingCopy !req
194. before I can lawfully
release Lieutenant Dax.Copy !req
195. For how long?Copy !req
196. As long as it takes.Copy !req
197. That could be for days.Copy !req
198. Well, there's nowhere else
on the station that's suitable.Copy !req
199. That's too bad.Copy !req
200. I'm not shutting down
for any Bajoran hearing.Copy !req
201. I'm sure
Lieutenant DaxCopy !req
202. would appreciate it.Copy !req
203. Business is business.Copy !req
204. Ah.Copy !req
205. You know, that wall's
going to have to come inCopy !req
206. about five meters.Copy !req
207. What are you
talking about?Copy !req
208. Of course, after you move
the wall, that'll meanCopy !req
209. your second-level holosuites
will have to come down.Copy !req
210. Come down? Why?Copy !req
211. New restrictions.Copy !req
212. Restrictions?Copy !req
213. Building codes.Copy !req
214. Since the provisional
government took overCopy !req
215. they've got their hands
into everythingCopy !req
216. and, of course, I'm
the one who's expectedCopy !req
217. to enforce
their rules here.Copy !req
218. Ha.Copy !req
219. You know, I
think this barCopy !req
220. is just a little
too near the exit.Copy !req
221. This is blackmail.Copy !req
222. No, it's just business.Copy !req
223. And business is business.Copy !req
224. I was just
coming to see you.Copy !req
225. We still haven't found
a place for the hearing.Copy !req
226. Holding it on Bajor
would involveCopy !req
227. Dax leaving the stationCopy !req
228. and I don't want
to risk that.Copy !req
229. Well, now that's
a coincidence.Copy !req
230. Our good friend Quark
just donated the useCopy !req
231. of his facility
for the hearing.Copy !req
232. Nice gesture.Copy !req
233. I thought so.Copy !req
234. You know, I haven't been ableCopy !req
235. to get a word out of Dax
about any of this.Copy !req
236. So I thought someone
might go do some investigatingCopy !req
237. on Klaestron IV itself.Copy !req
238. What do you think?Copy !req
239. This case has 30 years
of dust covering it.Copy !req
240. The extradition hearing
will take about 30 minutes.Copy !req
241. I was hoping to make it
a little longer than that.Copy !req
242. Good luck.Copy !req
243. This will be an informal hearingCopy !req
244. so I'm going to start
with some informal advice.Copy !req
245. I am 100 years old.Copy !req
246. I do not have timeCopy !req
247. to squander listening
to superfluous language.Copy !req
248. In short, I intend
being here until supperCopy !req
249. not senility.Copy !req
250. Understood?Copy !req
251. Understood,
Madam Arbiter.Copy !req
252. You seek the extradition.Copy !req
253. Make your case.Copy !req
254. The accused Trill, whatever
its present appearance may beCopy !req
255. was and is a
Federation officerCopy !req
256. who committed capital
crimes on our planet.Copy !req
257. Since there is
no time limitCopy !req
258. on the prosecution
of such crimes...Copy !req
259. Thank you, I have already read
the warrant and the charges.Copy !req
260. The crimes described
are 30 years old.Copy !req
261. What took you so long?Copy !req
262. The evidence was contained
in military filesCopy !req
263. which were
officially sealedCopy !req
264. until recently.Copy !req
265. Fine. Sit.Copy !req
266. Commander, the warrant
is in order.Copy !req
267. On what grounds do you ask
that I deny extradition?Copy !req
268. You say the warrant's in orderCopy !req
269. but the name on
the warrant is Dax.Copy !req
270. Certainly that doesn't refer
to Jadzia Dax, a femaleCopy !req
271. but to the now deceased
Curzon Dax, a male.Copy !req
272. This young woman wasn't
even born 30 years ago.Copy !req
273. You are arguing semantics.Copy !req
274. This creature is a Trill.Copy !req
275. The symbiont
known as DaxCopy !req
276. has progressed from
one host to the next.Copy !req
277. Exactly. From one host
to the next.Copy !req
278. A different host,
a different person.Copy !req
279. So I submit that the person
he wants to extraditeCopy !req
280. no longer existsCopy !req
281. and I challenge him
to prove otherwise.Copy !req
282. That's ridiculous.Copy !req
283. It would have
been easierCopy !req
284. on me, Commander, had you not
raised that particular pointCopy !req
285. but the penalty for these crimes
on your planet is deathCopy !req
286. and that
is rather permanentCopy !req
287. so before
I grant extraditionCopy !req
288. you will convince me, pleaseCopy !req
289. that the person
named in your warrantCopy !req
290. is the person
who is standing here now.Copy !req
291. She doesn't seem to careCopy !req
292. whether she gets
out of this or not.Copy !req
293. I care.Copy !req
294. Doctor, we've given
the oppositionCopy !req
295. access to our computers
and station libraryCopy !req
296. so let's utilize them
ourselves.Copy !req
297. I want you to find
all the medical evidence you canCopy !req
298. to support the theory
that Jadzia DaxCopy !req
299. and Curzon Dax are two
entirely separate people.Copy !req
300. Major...Copy !req
301. Excuse me, sir.Copy !req
302. I don't know that there is
any medical evidence on that.Copy !req
303. Assume there is,
then find it.Copy !req
304. Major, I'm not asking you
to be an attorney hereCopy !req
305. but if you could check
the Federation computersCopy !req
306. for any precedents...Copy !req
307. legal decisions
involving Trills.Copy !req
308. Is a Trill responsible
for the conduct—Copy !req
309. for the acts— of its
antecedent selves?Copy !req
310. Right, that kind
of thing.Copy !req
311. What if I find
the answer is "yes"?Copy !req
312. Then that answer is wrong.Copy !req
313. From this minute on,
our answer is "no."Copy !req
314. But if you do find
a wrong answer...Copy !req
315. I want to see it.Copy !req
316. I can't fight
what I don't know about.Copy !req
317. Commander Sisko, there's
a subspace communicationCopy !req
318. from Odo on Klaestron IV.Copy !req
319. We only have
a few hours, people.Copy !req
320. What have you got for us,
Constable?Copy !req
321. Well, I know two things so far—Copy !req
322. whoever did murder
that General Ardelon TandroCopy !req
323. it got his troops so madCopy !req
324. they went out
and won their civil war.Copy !req
325. They made the general
a national hero.Copy !req
326. There are statues of him
all over the place.Copy !req
327. The second— everyone
that's old enough to rememberCopy !req
328. says the General and Curzon Dax
were the closest of friends—Copy !req
329. comrades, inseparable.Copy !req
330. Now that sounds
like the Curzon Dax I knew.Copy !req
331. But treason...Copy !req
332. plus the murder
of his own best friend?Copy !req
333. Strange business.Copy !req
334. If those charges are trueCopy !req
335. I'd want to hang Curzon Dax
up by his heels myself.Copy !req
336. Thanks for the confidence.Copy !req
337. Don't worry.Copy !req
338. I'll do my job.Copy !req
339. The General left a widow.Copy !req
340. If the two men were that closeCopy !req
341. she has to remember something
about Curzon DaxCopy !req
342. that's not in the record.Copy !req
343. You'll hear from me.Copy !req
344. Curzon Dax was not responsible
for the death of my husband.Copy !req
345. You're certain
of that?Copy !req
346. Without a doubt.Copy !req
347. But your own son...?Copy !req
348. My son is obsessedCopy !req
349. with the death of a father
he never knew.Copy !req
350. Oh, I tried to persuade him
not to reopen the case.Copy !req
351. He won't listen to anyone,
least of all to me.Copy !req
352. You have
to understandCopy !req
353. Curzon Dax was closer
to the GeneralCopy !req
354. than any other man
on this planet.Copy !req
355. He was a dear friend
to this family.Copy !req
356. Curzon would have died himselfCopy !req
357. sooner than conspire
against my husband.Copy !req
358. Is that a personal opinionCopy !req
359. or are there any facts
that would support this?Copy !req
360. The only facts I have
are in my son's handsCopy !req
361. and he intends to use
them against Dax.Copy !req
362. It might help my people
to know what they are.Copy !req
363. There is proof of a
secret transmissionCopy !req
364. that was made
from our military headquartersCopy !req
365. to the enemy camp.Copy !req
366. It identifies exactly the route
my husband was takingCopy !req
367. on his way back from
the capital to the front.Copy !req
368. It was at that timeCopy !req
369. that he was ambushed
and kidnapped.Copy !req
370. A short time later,
he was killed.Copy !req
371. Then your son must believe
that Dax made the transmission.Copy !req
372. There were only five people,
including my husbandCopy !req
373. who knew that route.Copy !req
374. My son has established the
whereabouts of all of themCopy !req
375. at the time of
the transmission.Copy !req
376. All of them
except Curzon.Copy !req
377. So Dax has no alibi.Copy !req
378. That cannot possibly be
enough to convict him.Copy !req
379. Can it?Copy !req
380. I don't know.Copy !req
381. Thank you.Copy !req
382. You've been helpful.Copy !req
383. How is he?Copy !req
384. Ma'am?Copy !req
385. Curzon Dax.Copy !req
386. He's gone.Copy !req
387. The Dax your son is
trying to extraditeCopy !req
388. is Jadzia DaxCopy !req
389. a 28-year-old woman.Copy !req
390. Curzon Dax died two years ago.Copy !req
391. Jadzia is the new host.Copy !req
392. Wha...?Copy !req
393. I'm sorry.Copy !req
394. I didn't know.Copy !req
395. Madam Arbiter, I call
on the expert knowledgeCopy !req
396. of another Trill,
Selin Peers.Copy !req
397. Minister PeersCopy !req
398. we're fortunate
to have you with us.Copy !req
399. Excuse me, it also seems
rather convenientCopy !req
400. to have you with us.Copy !req
401. How do you come here?Copy !req
402. Because another Trill
is involvedCopy !req
403. the Trillian governmentCopy !req
404. requested that I be present
during the extradition.Copy !req
405. And do you know
the accused personally?Copy !req
406. I do not.Copy !req
407. We accept you
as an expert on Trills.Copy !req
408. Proceed.Copy !req
409. MinisterCopy !req
410. through how many hosts
have you survived?Copy !req
411. The symbiont within
me has survivedCopy !req
412. through the adult
lifetimes of seven hosts.Copy !req
413. Do you remember
your very first host?Copy !req
414. Of course.Copy !req
415. It was a woman,
as a matter of fact.Copy !req
416. Do you rememberCopy !req
417. what you thought and feltCopy !req
418. when you were joined
with your first host?Copy !req
419. Yes. The symbiont
does carry memoriesCopy !req
420. of time shared
with previous hosts.Copy !req
421. So, if a crime
is committed by a TrillCopy !req
422. then the symbiont's next host
would remain aware of it—Copy !req
423. would recall that crime.Copy !req
424. Yes. Absolutely.Copy !req
425. Would recall the details of it.Copy !req
426. Yes, absolutely.Copy !req
427. And would still
feel the guilt of it.Copy !req
428. Oh, yes.Copy !req
429. Madam Arbiter,
this is not a trialCopy !req
430. and Mr. Tandro is
not the prosecutor.Copy !req
431. Mr. Tandro, you have made
your point.Copy !req
432. I don't believe that I have,
Madam Arbiter.Copy !req
433. The real point is
that Commander SiskoCopy !req
434. would have you endorse his idea
of a perfect Trill crime.Copy !req
435. To commit it, all
one has to doCopy !req
436. is elude capture long
enough to change hostsCopy !req
437. and then he or she can go free.Copy !req
438. Minister Peers,
you've saidCopy !req
439. you were with your first hostCopy !req
440. throughout her adult life.Copy !req
441. Yes.Copy !req
442. So, before a symbiont
is joined with any hostCopy !req
443. that host has livedCopy !req
444. a significant portion
of his or her lifeCopy !req
445. from birth to what age, sir?Copy !req
446. Early to mid-20s.Copy !req
447. Why not younger?Copy !req
448. To giveCopy !req
449. the prospective host
a chance to develop, mature.Copy !req
450. They have to be old enough
to make an informed judgmentCopy !req
451. as to whether or not
they really want to be joined.Copy !req
452. And once
they are joinedCopy !req
453. this host's personalityCopy !req
454. is completely suppressed
by the symbiont.Copy !req
455. Oh, no.Copy !req
456. No, it's a joining.Copy !req
457. It's a total sharing—Copy !req
458. a blending
of both symbiont and host.Copy !req
459. Neither is suppressed
by the other.Copy !req
460. So with each new hostCopy !req
461. there does come, in fact,
a new personality—Copy !req
462. a new combined person...Copy !req
463. a different person.Copy !req
464. From that standpoint, yes.Copy !req
465. Well, I, for one, don't know
from what other standpointCopy !req
466. we could be talking about.Copy !req
467. Thank you, Minister.Copy !req
468. Just to return usCopy !req
469. to what's important here,
Madam ArbiterCopy !req
470. the accused
can rememberCopy !req
471. any crimes he committed
as Curzon DaxCopy !req
472. and nothing can be
truthfully assertedCopy !req
473. in this hearing that
can alter that fact.Copy !req
474. Yes. The memories were passed
to an entirely new host—Copy !req
475. to an entirely
different person.Copy !req
476. This is outrageous!Copy !req
477. You-You can't let DaxCopy !req
478. get away
with murder!Copy !req
479. Gentlemen, I said this would be
an informal hearingCopy !req
480. not riotous.Copy !req
481. We will take a two-hour recess.Copy !req
482. The answer seems
simple enough to me—Copy !req
483. split her down the middle.Copy !req
484. Send the symbiont
back to stand trialCopy !req
485. and keep the host here.Copy !req
486. I'm afraid it's a bit more
complicated than that.Copy !req
487. Oh, what a surprise.Copy !req
488. Please enlighten me.Copy !req
489. The symbiont and the host
are biologically interdependent.Copy !req
490. 93 hours after they've joinedCopy !req
491. neither can survive
without the other.Copy !req
492. I see.Copy !req
493. Proceed, Commander.Copy !req
494. Doctor, you've heard
the arguments.Copy !req
495. From a medical point of viewCopy !req
496. are Curzon Dax and Jadzia Dax
the same person?Copy !req
497. Certainly not.Copy !req
498. Aside from the gender change,
there's a marked differenceCopy !req
499. in blood types, metabolism,
nervous systemCopy !req
500. height, weight.Copy !req
501. This is not at all relevant.Copy !req
502. What is relevantCopy !req
503. sir...Copy !req
504. is my analysis
of the brain wavesCopy !req
505. of Curzon and Jadzia Dax.Copy !req
506. Madam Arbiter.Copy !req
507. As you can seeCopy !req
508. they are
distinctly differentCopy !req
509. which clearly illustrates
that Curzon and JadziaCopy !req
510. are two unique
individuals.Copy !req
511. Thank you, Doctor.Copy !req
512. Doctor...Copy !req
513. I've looked through
your research myself.Copy !req
514. It's quite impressive
for such a young man.Copy !req
515. Thank you.Copy !req
516. As a layman,
there are obviously thingsCopy !req
517. I don't fully understand.Copy !req
518. I'd be happy
to explain anything you wish.Copy !req
519. Yes?Copy !req
520. Well, exactly how does
the Trill brain work?Copy !req
521. It's quite
complicated, actually.Copy !req
522. First of all, there are
two cerebral nuclei...Copy !req
523. Two?Copy !req
524. One in the symbiont
and one in the host.Copy !req
525. Two brains.Copy !req
526. And these two brains
talk to each other?Copy !req
527. Like two computers
linked together.Copy !req
528. That's very clear, Doctor.Copy !req
529. Thank you.Copy !req
530. Now, in your investigationsCopy !req
531. were you able to analyze the...
separate wave patternsCopy !req
532. from each of these brains?Copy !req
533. They don't function separately.Copy !req
534. I didn't ask youCopy !req
535. how they function, Dr. Bashir.Copy !req
536. I asked if you could analyze
the two distinct patterns.Copy !req
537. I don't see the relevance...Copy !req
538. Could you?Copy !req
539. Yes.Copy !req
540. And have the brain wave patternsCopy !req
541. of the symbiont changedCopy !req
542. since it joined
with its new host?Copy !req
543. With the available evidence,
there's no way of telling.Copy !req
544. What's your best guess?Copy !req
545. I wouldn't care to guess.Copy !req
546. In fact, is there evidence
of any change at allCopy !req
547. in the symbiont since it joined
with its new host?Copy !req
548. Yes or no.Copy !req
549. No.Copy !req
550. Thank you, Dr. Bashir.Copy !req
551. You've been very helpful.Copy !req
552. Any more witnessesCopy !req
553. Commander Sisko?Copy !req
554. Yes, Madam Arbiter.Copy !req
555. I'd like to call
the one person in this courtroomCopy !req
556. who knew Curzon Dax.Copy !req
557. Me.Copy !req
558. You know where
the witness stand is.Copy !req
559. With your permissionCopy !req
560. I'd like Major Kira
to direct the questions.Copy !req
561. Tell us a little
about Curzon Dax, Commander.Copy !req
562. He probably wasn'tCopy !req
563. the ideal Trill.Copy !req
564. He drank a little too much.Copy !req
565. He could be more interested
in womenCopy !req
566. than maybe he should have been.Copy !req
567. I thought he was your friend.Copy !req
568. I'm simply
pointing outCopy !req
569. that he was not at allCopy !req
570. like the young woman
in this courtroom.Copy !req
571. What was, exactly,
your relationshipCopy !req
572. with Curzon Dax?Copy !req
573. He took a raw, young ensign
under his wingCopy !req
574. and taught me to appreciate lifeCopy !req
575. in ways
I'd never thought about before.Copy !req
576. He taught me
about artCopy !req
577. and science
and diplomacy.Copy !req
578. Whatever sense of honor
I might have todayCopy !req
579. he nurtured.Copy !req
580. Treason, murder—Copy !req
581. he was not capable
of those things.Copy !req
582. As you've already saidCopy !req
583. Commander,
this is not a trial.Copy !req
584. I'm describing my friend,
Curzon Dax—Copy !req
585. a man I knew very well.Copy !req
586. On the other hand,
I can't tell you too muchCopy !req
587. about my new friend there.Copy !req
588. We're really just getting
to know each other.Copy !req
589. Commander, Starfleet officers
do have the reputationCopy !req
590. of being honorableCopy !req
591. and I judge you to be
an honorable man.Copy !req
592. As an honorable man,
do you think this crimeCopy !req
593. should go unpunished?Copy !req
594. I prefer no crime
to go unpunished.Copy !req
595. Then, if it were possible,
even you would not argueCopy !req
596. with punishing
the symbiont part of Dax.Copy !req
597. How can you be so sure
that the symbiontCopy !req
598. was the criminal influence?Copy !req
599. What if it were the Curzon host
that was responsible?Copy !req
600. Then the surviving symbiont
would be completely innocent.Copy !req
601. No. They'd both be guilty.Copy !req
602. You yourself have argued
that the two personalitiesCopy !req
603. once joined, function as one.Copy !req
604. Your own Dr. Bashir
confirmed it.Copy !req
605. When you put salt in waterCopy !req
606. the two become indistinguishable
and inseparable.Copy !req
607. I think you've just made
my point for me.Copy !req
608. When the water boils offCopy !req
609. the salt returns
to its original state.Copy !req
610. Pour that same salt
into another liquidCopy !req
611. and you have something
completely different.Copy !req
612. Jadzia Dax
is an entirely new entity.Copy !req
613. Following a one-hour recessCopy !req
614. Lieutenant Dax will take
the witness stand.Copy !req
615. One hour.Copy !req
616. If you won't defend yourself,
you're not going to testify.Copy !req
617. It's a hearing,
not a trial.Copy !req
618. She has no choice.Copy !req
619. Sir.Copy !req
620. Odo's on subspace.Copy !req
621. It's urgent.Copy !req
622. I've made some progress.Copy !req
623. Good.Copy !req
624. Not good.Copy !req
625. Since the transmission to
the enemy is the key evidenceCopy !req
626. I thought it might
be a good ideaCopy !req
627. to go through all the
communications logsCopy !req
628. from headquarters
during that period.Copy !req
629. I even found
Curzon Dax's records.Copy !req
630. You can't tell me CurzonCopy !req
631. would log in a communiqué
to the enemy.Copy !req
632. No, nothing like thatCopy !req
633. but the log does show
a number of conversationsCopy !req
634. between Dax's office
and General Tandro's home.Copy !req
635. They were close friends.Copy !req
636. A number of the conversationsCopy !req
637. took place while the General
was away at the front.Copy !req
638. The wife.Copy !req
639. The wife.Copy !req
640. Curzon Dax and Enina Tandro.Copy !req
641. Maybe it was innocent.Copy !req
642. Maybe he was just providing
a little emotional supportCopy !req
643. during tough times.Copy !req
644. Or maybe they were
taking advantageCopy !req
645. of the General's absence
to get a little closer.Copy !req
646. If they were having an affairCopy !req
647. that translates into a pretty
solid motive for murder.Copy !req
648. The conversations
were just the beginning.Copy !req
649. I've also found records of giftsCopy !req
650. of holidays spent at an inn
outside the capital.Copy !req
651. Oh. What purpose
does this serve?Copy !req
652. It serves the truth.Copy !req
653. Oh, the truth.Copy !req
654. If there's more to this
than meets the eyeCopy !req
655. I hope you'll explain,
because as it standsCopy !req
656. this will severely hurt
Dax's defense.Copy !req
657. My husband was not the hero
in lifeCopy !req
658. that he was in death, Mr. Odo.Copy !req
659. In death,
he became a legendCopy !req
660. and I became
a legend's wife.Copy !req
661. There are people who did not
even know my husbandCopy !req
662. who still contact me.Copy !req
663. Decades after his death,
they still mourn him.Copy !req
664. But you don't.Copy !req
665. NoCopy !req
666. because I knew the man
before he became a legend.Copy !req
667. But I also know
my place in history.Copy !req
668. My place is to carry on
bravely, never to remarry—Copy !req
669. to represent my husband
at the banquetsCopy !req
670. given in his name.Copy !req
671. But never, never to talk
about who he really was.Copy !req
672. Because nobody
wants to hear that.Copy !req
673. They may have
to hear it now.Copy !req
674. No matter what is saidCopy !req
675. they will still embrace
his memory...Copy !req
676. for he was and always will beCopy !req
677. the hero
who died for his people.Copy !req
678. But perhaps it's timeCopy !req
679. for my place
in history to change.Copy !req
680. You've been protecting
her reputation.Copy !req
681. That's it, isn't it?Copy !req
682. That's why you won't
even defend yourself.Copy !req
683. There are worse things
than an illicit love affair.Copy !req
684. Curzon didn't murder anybody.Copy !req
685. He didn't commit treason.Copy !req
686. Are you really willing
to commit suicideCopy !req
687. over something done
in another lifetime?Copy !req
688. That is what you're
doing, you know.Copy !req
689. My God, Dax.Copy !req
690. Young Tandro—
that wouldn't be your son?Copy !req
691. You have an overactive
imagination, Benjamin.Copy !req
692. Then what is it that's
holding you back?Copy !req
693. Help me.Copy !req
694. Damn it, if you were
still a man...Copy !req
695. I see your temper
hasn't improved.Copy !req
696. Don't talk to me
about my temper.Copy !req
697. Curzon always
warned you about it.Copy !req
698. You're not going
to get me off track here.Copy !req
699. Do you remember
that Argosian LieutenantCopy !req
700. who threw a drink in your face?Copy !req
701. And you knocked me down
with a right crossCopy !req
702. before I could kill him.Copy !req
703. I still have a little scar here
from your ring finger.Copy !req
704. I tried on that ring
after Curzon died.Copy !req
705. It just slipped
off my finger.Copy !req
706. If you don't help me, old man,
they're going to take youCopy !req
707. because I don't know
any more arguments.Copy !req
708. Then allow it to happen.Copy !req
709. It is my obligation
to protect the livesCopy !req
710. of those in my command.Copy !req
711. You ought to know that,
you taught it to me.Copy !req
712. That was Curzon.Copy !req
713. I'll stop trying
to protect youCopy !req
714. the minute you tell me
Curzon was guiltyCopy !req
715. of these charges.Copy !req
716. I won't discuss it
with you.Copy !req
717. As for Enina TandroCopy !req
718. yes, I feel the shame
of Curzon's indiscretion.Copy !req
719. When one of my kind
stumbles, BenjaminCopy !req
720. it is a mistake
that's there forever.Copy !req
721. I can't tell you which
part of Curzon DaxCopy !req
722. couldn't stop himself
from acting shamefullyCopy !req
723. with another man's wife.Copy !req
724. I can tell you...
that he did love herCopy !req
725. for whatever that's worth.Copy !req
726. Enough to kill her husband?Copy !req
727. So you are questioning?Copy !req
728. What else can I do?Copy !req
729. Nothing, Benjamin.Copy !req
730. Nothing at all.Copy !req
731. Lieutenant Dax, you are either
200 years older than I amCopy !req
732. or you're about
the same ageCopy !req
733. as my great-granddaughter.Copy !req
734. At first, I wondered
which of those you were.Copy !req
735. Now, I am botheredCopy !req
736. by the likelihood
that you may be both.Copy !req
737. Let's finish this,
Commander.Copy !req
738. At what age did the host,
JadziaCopy !req
739. first want to be joined
as a Trill?Copy !req
740. I wanted it since
I was a child.Copy !req
741. I worked very hard for it.Copy !req
742. The competition to become
a Trill is very strong, thenCopy !req
743. among potential hosts?Copy !req
744. Yes. It's considered
a great honor.Copy !req
745. How did the young Jadzia finally
become a host candidate?Copy !req
746. By winning scholarshipsCopy !req
747. competing against
other young people.Copy !req
748. You're tested in countless ways.Copy !req
749. Including
psychological testsCopy !req
750. to determine strength
of characterCopy !req
751. of the prospective host,
is that true?Copy !req
752. Yes.Copy !req
753. And the young JadziaCopy !req
754. excelled in those tests
of academics and character—Copy !req
755. of psychological stability.Copy !req
756. Yes.Copy !req
757. If you can remember
other thingsCopy !req
758. remember that as well.Copy !req
759. What academic degrees
do you hold, Lieutenant?Copy !req
760. I hold Premier Distinctions
in exobiology, zoologyCopy !req
761. astrophysics
and exoarchaeology.Copy !req
762. How many of those degrees
did you earnCopy !req
763. before being joined
with the symbiont Dax?Copy !req
764. All of them.Copy !req
765. All of them.Copy !req
766. As Jadzia.Copy !req
767. Alone.Copy !req
768. This brilliant and
independent young womanCopy !req
769. has done nothing in her life
but contribute to her society.Copy !req
770. Madam ArbiterCopy !req
771. how can anyone justify
trying her for a crimeCopy !req
772. allegedly committed
by another entityCopy !req
773. before she was even born?Copy !req
774. This will only take a minute.Copy !req
775. Lieutenant...Copy !req
776. as a Trill candidateCopy !req
777. did Jadzia fully understand
the responsibilitiesCopy !req
778. to be assumed
upon becoming a TrillCopy !req
779. and did you willingly
accept those responsibilitiesCopy !req
780. and whatever consequences
they might entail?Copy !req
781. Yes.Copy !req
782. And would that not obviously
include the consequencesCopy !req
783. of criminal acts
committed by Curzon Dax?Copy !req
784. May I speak?Copy !req
785. And you are?Copy !req
786. I am Enina TandroCopy !req
787. widow of General Ardelon Tandro.Copy !req
788. This hearing
is unnecessary.Copy !req
789. The accusations
are erroneous.Copy !req
790. Mother, what are you
talking about?Copy !req
791. Madam ArbiterCopy !req
792. Curzon Dax is accusedCopy !req
793. of sending a transmission
to the enemyCopy !req
794. that betrayed my husband.Copy !req
795. But I know where Curzon wasCopy !req
796. at the exact time
that transmission was sent.Copy !req
797. He was... in my bed.Copy !req
798. Mr. TandroCopy !req
799. you will want to reexamine
your extradition request.Copy !req
800. Until thenCopy !req
801. this hearing is adjourned.Copy !req
802. It was kind of you
to try and protect me...Copy !req
803. someone you'd
never even met.Copy !req
804. There's much of Curzon
that's still a part of me—Copy !req
805. that still remembers
what you had together.Copy !req
806. But it was Curzon Dax
who swore himself to silenceCopy !req
807. to preserve the memory
of General Tandro, not Jadzia.Copy !req
808. I felt it was important
to keep that promise.Copy !req
809. The General's memory
is cherished by your people.Copy !req
810. And it will
continue to be.Copy !req
811. Oh, no one will ever knowCopy !req
812. that he was the one
who tried to betray usCopy !req
813. and that the rebels
killed him for the favor.Copy !req
814. As for you, there is
one favor I would ask.Copy !req
815. Of course.Copy !req
816. Live, Jadzia Dax.Copy !req
817. Live a long,
fresh and wonderful life.Copy !req
