1. Not now! Look!Copy !req
2. Dabo!Copy !req
3. Dabo!Copy !req
4. Dabo!Copy !req
5. You aren't leaving?Copy !req
6. Well...Copy !req
7. Come on, aren't
you feeling lucky?Copy !req
8. All right then, one more time.Copy !req
9. Let it ride.Copy !req
10. Oh...Copy !req
11. karjinko.Copy !req
12. Sorry.Copy !req
13. Uh, wait a minute there.Copy !req
14. My name is Okalar.Copy !req
15. What's yours?Copy !req
16. Busy.Copy !req
17. You are evil.Copy !req
18. Who? Me?Copy !req
19. He was going
to walk away a winner.Copy !req
20. First rule of dabo is...Copy !req
21. Watch the wheel,
not the girl.Copy !req
22. So, what's on the menu
tomorrow night?Copy !req
23. Tomorrow night?Copy !req
24. Dinner with your father.Copy !req
25. What?Copy !req
26. He didn't tell you?Copy !req
27. He came by this afternoonCopy !req
28. and invited me to dinner
tomorrow night.Copy !req
29. In fact, he said
it was your idea.Copy !req
30. My idea?Copy !req
31. Oh, I, I, I guess I might
have mentioned somethingCopy !req
32. about having you over.Copy !req
33. I, I thought he forgot.Copy !req
34. It is all right, isn't it?Copy !req
35. I mean, you don't mind, do you?Copy !req
36. Oh, no.
No, of course not.Copy !req
37. It'll be great.Copy !req
38. You're going to love
my dad's cooking.Copy !req
39. This is a surprise.Copy !req
40. A pleasant one, I hope.Copy !req
41. So do I.Copy !req
42. I have some salvage for you,
Quark.Copy !req
43. This isn't a good time to be
selling your kind of salvage.Copy !req
44. No, no, no,
it's perfectly legal.Copy !req
45. I mean, it's really
salvage this time.Copy !req
46. I'm not looking
for junk right nowCopy !req
47. but...Copy !req
48. I'm more in the market
for entertainment.Copy !req
49. I think you'll like this junk,
Quark.Copy !req
50. It's a wreckage
from a ship that crashedCopy !req
51. in the Gamma Quadrant.Copy !req
52. You're still going
to the Gamma Quadrant?Copy !req
53. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
54. I love bold women.
How much?Copy !req
55. Three bars of latinum
and you can have it all.Copy !req
56. What kind of ship is it?Copy !req
57. I don't know.Copy !req
58. Can I see it first?Copy !req
59. There's no time.Copy !req
60. Oh...Copy !req
61. Quark, you and I have been
doing business for years.Copy !req
62. Don't you trust me?Copy !req
63. Three bars of latinum?Copy !req
64. It was worth it.Copy !req
65. No.Copy !req
66. No.Copy !req
67. No.Copy !req
68. No.Copy !req
69. You bought a child?Copy !req
70. I just thought that I was
buying some wreckage.Copy !req
71. How was I supposed to know
there was a baby in there?Copy !req
72. Maybe you should
inspect the merchandiseCopy !req
73. before you make the dealCopy !req
74. or isn't there a Rule
of Acquisition for that?Copy !req
75. There is and I do, usually.Copy !req
76. We haven't been able
to trace the Boslic captainCopy !req
77. since she left the station.Copy !req
78. Her flight plan said
she was headed for RisaCopy !req
79. but I don't think we should
put much faith in that.Copy !req
80. Well, I haven't been able
to identify his speciesCopy !req
81. but he seems to be healthy.Copy !req
82. Seems?Copy !req
83. For a humanoid, he hasCopy !req
84. an incredibly fast
metabolic rate.Copy !req
85. The cells in his body
are dividing at a paceCopy !req
86. I haven't seen
outside of a laboratory.Copy !req
87. But, since there are no thyroid
or hypothalmic problemsCopy !req
88. I assume that this
is only naturalCopy !req
89. for someone of his speciesCopy !req
90. but I would like him here
for further tests.Copy !req
91. Very well.Copy !req
92. What do we know about the ship
the boy was on?Copy !req
93. Chief O'Brien just started
to analyze the wreckage.Copy !req
94. We should have
a preliminary reportCopy !req
95. in a couple of hours.Copy !req
96. Ah, uh, now wait a minute.Copy !req
97. I paid good money
for that wreckage and...Copy !req
98. and now it's yours.Copy !req
99. Enjoy.Copy !req
100. Hmm.Copy !req
101. Hi there.Copy !req
102. We should contactCopy !req
103. one of the orphanages
on Bajor and let them knowCopy !req
104. we might have someone for them.Copy !req
105. Hmm?Copy !req
106. I was talking
about an orphanage.Copy !req
107. Oh, right.Copy !req
108. Have Major Kira make
the appropriate arrangements.Copy !req
109. Will you keep me informed
about him?Copy !req
110. Yes, sir.Copy !req
111. What?Copy !req
112. You are positively glowing.Copy !req
113. Oh, come on.Copy !req
114. I haven't seen that look
on your face since...Copy !req
115. Since Jake stopped
wearing diapers.Copy !req
116. I never thought
I'd hear myself saying thisCopy !req
117. but I miss taking care of Jake
when he was a baby.Copy !req
118. I miss holding him,
singing to him at nightCopy !req
119. feeding him.Copy !req
120. Listening to him cry,
changing his diapersCopy !req
121. worrying when he was sick.Copy !req
122. I haven't forgotten.Copy !req
123. But there are timesCopy !req
124. when I would give
almost anythingCopy !req
125. for the days when I
could make Jake happyCopy !req
126. just by lifting him
over my head.Copy !req
127. Good night.Copy !req
128. Hey, how about a hug
for the old man?Copy !req
129. Why didn't you tell meCopy !req
130. you were going to invite
Mardah to dinner?Copy !req
131. Well, I did, weeks ago.Copy !req
132. I told you if you
didn't invite her soonCopy !req
133. I'd invite her myself.Copy !req
134. I, I still wish you'd given me
a little more warning.Copy !req
135. Well, I didn't realizeCopy !req
136. that a dinner invitation
required so much warning.Copy !req
137. It doesn't, and it's not
a problem or anything.Copy !req
138. It just caught me by surprise.Copy !req
139. Well, dinner isn't
until tomorrow night.Copy !req
140. That'll give you
a full day to prepare herCopy !req
141. for the traumatic experience of
having dinner with the old man.Copy !req
142. Yeah.Copy !req
143. Uh, I mean, there's
nothing to prepare for.Copy !req
144. It's just dinner.Copy !req
145. Exactly.Copy !req
146. - Right.
- Right.Copy !req
147. All right.Copy !req
148. You wanted to see me, Doctor?Copy !req
149. Yes, it's about our new visitor.Copy !req
150. Is something wrong
with the baby?Copy !req
151. No, but he's not a baby anymore.Copy !req
152. There are a great many species
with what we would callCopy !req
153. accelerated growth rates,
but they're usuallyCopy !req
154. small, physiologically
simple creatures.Copy !req
155. I've never seen such
a rapid maturation processCopy !req
156. in anything as complex
as a humanoid.Copy !req
157. He looks about eight
or nine years old.Copy !req
158. But how old is he in reality?Copy !req
159. Well, judging by his
cellular kinetic profileCopy !req
160. I'd say he's no more
than two weeks of age.Copy !req
161. Who are you?Copy !req
162. I'm Benjamin and that's Julian.Copy !req
163. Do you have a name?Copy !req
164. I need food.Copy !req
165. With your kind of metabolism,
I'm not surprised.Copy !req
166. I'll get you something
in a few minutes.Copy !req
167. Where am I?Copy !req
168. On a space station.Copy !req
169. Do you know what that is?Copy !req
170. No.Copy !req
171. But I want to learn.Copy !req
172. I'd say we have a lot
to learn from each other.Copy !req
173. Um...Copy !req
174. I'll be right back.Copy !req
175. Advanced language skills.Copy !req
176. And cognitive reasoning.Copy !req
177. He didn't just pick those upCopy !req
178. by sitting there
listening to us.Copy !req
179. This is either a natural
ability in his speciesCopy !req
180. or some kind
of basic intelligenceCopy !req
181. implanted into his
genetic structure.Copy !req
182. Implanted?
You mean artificially?Copy !req
183. Yes, and I tend to discount
the possibilityCopy !req
184. that it is a natural ability.Copy !req
185. His biomolecular
diffusion gradientCopy !req
186. all ready suggests that
his cellular mitosisCopy !req
187. has been artificially
enhanced.Copy !req
188. So, you're saying
he may have been partCopy !req
189. of some experiment?Copy !req
190. Possibly.
If so, he's an exampleCopy !req
191. of some very advanced
genetic engineering.Copy !req
192. His cognitive abilities
are developingCopy !req
193. without any external stimuli.Copy !req
194. I want you to test
his mental abilities.Copy !req
195. See if they increase.Copy !req
196. Maybe he'll get to the point
where he can tell us who he isCopy !req
197. and where he's come from.Copy !req
198. This is where Quark
said he found the boy.Copy !req
199. It seems to be some
kind of stasis chamberCopy !req
200. that was damaged in the crash.Copy !req
201. That could imply
they didn't want himCopy !req
202. to begin maturing
while he was on board.Copy !req
203. What about the rest
of the wreckage?Copy !req
204. It seems to indicateCopy !req
205. this was some kind of freighter
or transport vessel.Copy !req
206. Did you find any computers
or other information systems?Copy !req
207. No, not yet.Copy !req
208. Most of it's just junk...Copy !req
209. twisted bulkheads,
burnt deck platingCopy !req
210. that sort of thing.Copy !req
211. We should have a full inventory
by tomorrow morning.Copy !req
212. Good.Copy !req
213. By the way, the replicatorsCopy !req
214. in my quarters are
on the blink again.Copy !req
215. Could you spare someone
this afternoon to fix them?Copy !req
216. Oh, that's right.Copy !req
217. Tonight's the big dinner
with Mardah.Copy !req
218. You know about that?Copy !req
219. Well, Jake mentioned it
this morning.Copy !req
220. In fact, I'd say it's
the only thing on his mind.Copy !req
221. You would think I was going
to court-martial herCopy !req
222. by the way he's acting.Copy !req
223. Well, I guess it's only natural.Copy !req
224. Bringing a girl home
for the first timeCopy !req
225. is a pretty traumatic
experience.Copy !req
226. Quark may call her a dabo girl,
but she's 20 years old.Copy !req
227. She's a woman.Copy !req
228. And Jake is a 16-year-old boy.Copy !req
229. It has to stop.Copy !req
230. Well, why did you
invite her over?Copy !req
231. If you don't mind my asking.Copy !req
232. Curiosity mostly.Copy !req
233. I wanted to see
what I was up against.Copy !req
234. What if it turns out
you like her?Copy !req
235. She's a dabo girl.
She's dating my son.Copy !req
236. I don't want to like her.Copy !req
237. 16 years old
and dating a dabo girl.Copy !req
238. Godspeed, Jake.Copy !req
239. Major.Copy !req
240. Odo.Copy !req
241. For you.Copy !req
242. Ah.Copy !req
243. Let me guess...Copy !req
244. uh, decoration
for my new quarters.Copy !req
245. Just a little something
to brighten your room.Copy !req
246. That's, uh, very...
thoughtful of you.Copy !req
247. You're welcome.Copy !req
248. I suppose you'd like
to see my new quarters.Copy !req
249. Everyone wants
to see your quarters.Copy !req
250. It's called curiosity.Copy !req
251. Ah.Copy !req
252. It's not really finished yet.Copy !req
253. This is just the start.Copy !req
254. The start of what?Copy !req
255. I want to make this roomCopy !req
256. into a place
where I can exploreCopy !req
257. what it truly means
to be a shape-shifter.Copy !req
258. I thought it had to be
something like that.Copy !req
259. I mean, you don't exactly needCopy !req
260. an entire set of quarters
just to sit in your bucket.Copy !req
261. I don't use
the bucket anymore.Copy !req
262. I've kept it to remind
me of how I used to be.Copy !req
263. But now, when I need
to regenerateCopy !req
264. I simply revert to my gelatinous
state anywhere in this room.Copy !req
265. Here, I can experiment with
different shapes, textures.Copy !req
266. I can bring
in various forms to emulate.Copy !req
267. And I can do it in private.Copy !req
268. I'm sorry if I intruded.Copy !req
269. Maybe I should leave.Copy !req
270. No, please.Copy !req
271. You're always welcome here,
Major.Copy !req
272. Well...Copy !req
273. where should we put it?Copy !req
274. Ah!Copy !req
275. Perfect.Copy !req
276. The boy's DNA sequence
has definitely been altered.Copy !req
277. The nucleotide analysis
proves that conclusively.Copy !req
278. So he's a product
of genetic engineering.Copy !req
279. But why?Copy !req
280. Was he a unique experimentCopy !req
281. or is this sort of thing
common in his species?Copy !req
282. There's more.Copy !req
283. His blood chemistryCopy !req
284. shows that he's missing
a key isogenic enzymeCopy !req
285. and without large
quantities of itCopy !req
286. his circulatory system
would simply shut down.Copy !req
287. Can you replicate this enzyme?Copy !req
288. I've been trying, and
I think I've come upCopy !req
289. with a temporary substitute.Copy !req
290. But what I don't understand isCopy !req
291. why anybody would want to
genetically engineer someoneCopy !req
292. with such an obvious flaw.Copy !req
293. Nurse Hortak to Dr. Bashir.Copy !req
294. You're needed in
the Infirmary immediately.Copy !req
295. On my way.Copy !req
296. Listen, it's all right.Copy !req
297. No one's going to hurt you.Copy !req
298. Let's just go back
inside and, and...Copy !req
299. Security to Promenade!Copy !req
300. Stop!
Stay where you are!Copy !req
301. Dax to Sisko.Copy !req
302. Go ahead.Copy !req
303. I think we've solved the mystery
of our young visitor, Benjamin.Copy !req
304. He's a Jem'Hadar.Copy !req
305. I've just spoken
with Starfleet Command.Copy !req
306. They want to make sure
he's healthy enough to travelCopy !req
307. and then send him
to Starbase 201Copy !req
308. where he'll be handed over
to a team of specialists.Copy !req
309. Sounds good to me.Copy !req
310. The sooner, the better.Copy !req
311. What sort of specialists
are we talking about, Commander?Copy !req
312. There will be a complete
team of xenobiologistsCopy !req
313. and exopsychologists
waiting for him.Copy !req
314. So they're going to study him
like a laboratory specimen.Copy !req
315. Well, he'll be
very well treated.Copy !req
316. So he'll be
a well-treated specimen.Copy !req
317. I have to agree
with Odo, Commander.Copy !req
318. We can't just ship him offCopy !req
319. like some biological
sample that we've found.Copy !req
320. He's a sentient life form.Copy !req
321. True, but the Founders
could have removedCopy !req
322. his sense of free will.Copy !req
323. He may be nothing moreCopy !req
324. than a genetically
programmed killing machine.Copy !req
325. I agree, and we don't wantCopy !req
326. one of them walking
around this station.Copy !req
327. Fine!Copy !req
328. If you want answers
about the Jem'HadarCopy !req
329. I'm the one
who can find them for you.Copy !req
330. Let me get to know him.Copy !req
331. I'll be responsible
for his conduct while he's here.Copy !req
332. Odo, do you really think
you can control him?Copy !req
333. He's already shown
a certain deference to me.Copy !req
334. That's probably another
genetic alteration implantedCopy !req
335. by the Founders to ensure
the Jem'Hadar's loyalty.Copy !req
336. I can keep him
from harming anyone.Copy !req
337. I'd like to speak with
the Constable in privateCopy !req
338. for a moment, please.Copy !req
339. Talk to me, Odo.Copy !req
340. Tell me what's
really going on here.Copy !req
341. What the Founders
did to the boy...Copy !req
342. to all the Jem'Hadar...
is not your fault.Copy !req
343. Maybe not.Copy !req
344. But I feel an obligation
to undo some of the damageCopy !req
345. that my race
has done to this boy.Copy !req
346. And I also know what it's likeCopy !req
347. to be a specimen
in a laboratory.Copy !req
348. Oh, I'm sure
they'll treat him very well.Copy !req
349. No one will risk
harming their new prize.Copy !req
350. They'll be courteous, caringCopy !req
351. treat him
like he's among friendsCopy !req
352. but, in the end, he'll be
just another specimen to them...Copy !req
353. something to be analyzed
and cataloged.Copy !req
354. Give me the chance to find outCopy !req
355. if he really is just
a programmed killing machineCopy !req
356. or if we can help him
become something else.Copy !req
357. I'll tell StarfleetCopy !req
358. we have some preliminary testsCopy !req
359. to run before we send
him to Starbase 201.Copy !req
360. Thank you, Commander.Copy !req
361. Just... be careful, Odo.Copy !req
362. He is still a Jem'Hadar.Copy !req
363. Listen to me!Copy !req
364. I'm trying to help.Copy !req
365. Your body is craving
a certain chemical compound.Copy !req
366. That is why
you're feeling anxiousCopy !req
367. and having muscle spasms.Copy !req
368. There's nothing wrong with me.Copy !req
369. Yes, there is, and denying it
won't make it go away.Copy !req
370. Leave me alone!Copy !req
371. You can wait outside.Copy !req
372. I think everything
is under control now.Copy !req
373. Please...Copy !req
374. sit down.Copy !req
375. You don't look well.Copy !req
376. How do you feel?Copy !req
377. Something's wrong with me.Copy !req
378. I feel sick when I eat.Copy !req
379. I have pains in my head...Copy !req
380. in my chest.Copy !req
381. His body's addicted
to a specific isogenic enzyme.Copy !req
382. Right now, he's experiencing
all the symptoms of withdrawal.Copy !req
383. Addicted?Copy !req
384. That's right.Copy !req
385. Can you replicate this enzyme?Copy !req
386. I've had some success
with triglyceridesCopy !req
387. but they're just
a stopgap measure.Copy !req
388. I can't get an exact
chemical formulaCopy !req
389. without doing further testsCopy !req
390. but he's shown certain
resistance to that idea.Copy !req
391. I don't want any more tests.Copy !req
392. Dr. Bashir is
trying to help you.Copy !req
393. You should let him.Copy !req
394. You may run your tests.Copy !req
395. My name is Odo.Copy !req
396. I don't have a name.Copy !req
397. When your tests are done,
I can get you out of hereCopy !req
398. maybe show you
around the station.Copy !req
399. If you wish.Copy !req
400. What do you want?Copy !req
401. Do you have any needs
or desires of your own?Copy !req
402. I want to fight!Copy !req
403. Who, me?Copy !req
404. No.Copy !req
405. The others.Copy !req
406. Why?Copy !req
407. I don't know, but that's
what I want to do.Copy !req
408. Is that wrong?Copy !req
409. Well, let's just say,
we need to findCopy !req
410. other interests
for you to pursue.Copy !req
411. For the moment,
why don't you relax?Copy !req
412. Try not to be so tense.Copy !req
413. Take it easy.Copy !req
414. Smile.Copy !req
415. A smile.Copy !req
416. You know...Copy !req
417. Well, we'll work on that.Copy !req
418. Smells good.
What is it?Copy !req
419. Ah, shrimp Creole
with Mandalay sauce...Copy !req
420. one of my father's recipes.Copy !req
421. You're going to love this.Copy !req
422. I hope you like spicy food.Copy !req
423. This sure has a bite.Copy !req
424. So, Mardah, tell me
a little about yourself.Copy !req
425. What do you want to know?Copy !req
426. Oh, anything.Copy !req
427. Family.Copy !req
428. There isn't much to tell.Copy !req
429. It's a pretty familiar story.Copy !req
430. Parents killed
during the occupation.Copy !req
431. Raised by my neighbors
until I was 13.Copy !req
432. Then I moved out on my own.Copy !req
433. I have a sister
and a brother on BajorCopy !req
434. but we haven't talked in years.Copy !req
435. Why not?Copy !req
436. Sarjeno and Koran
were not exactly thrilledCopy !req
437. when I told them I had a job
as a dabo girl.Copy !req
438. Then I told them what I thoughtCopy !req
439. of their lives,
and we stopped speaking.Copy !req
440. I see.Copy !req
441. It's amazing
how some people will judge youCopy !req
442. based on nothing more
than your job.Copy !req
443. Did I mention that Mardah's
quite a writer?Copy !req
444. Uh, really?Copy !req
445. Yeah, Mrs. O'Brien
used to say that MardahCopy !req
446. should try to get some
of her stories published.Copy !req
447. Jake, they aren't that good.Copy !req
448. Yes, they are.Copy !req
449. Nothing like your poetry.Copy !req
450. You don't have
enough faith in yourself.Copy !req
451. Poetry... you write poetry?Copy !req
452. Well, sort of.Copy !req
453. N-not really.Copy !req
454. Now who doesn't have
enough faith in themselves?Copy !req
455. He writes some of
the most beautiful thingsCopy !req
456. I have ever read.Copy !req
457. That's what won me over.Copy !req
458. His poetry?Copy !req
459. And the way he plays dom-jot.Copy !req
460. You play dom-jot?Copy !req
461. Oh, your son can play.Copy !req
462. He's quite the hustler.Copy !req
463. A hustler?Copy !req
464. Why don't I go see
how dessert's coming?Copy !req
465. Jake seemed like just
another teenage boy at first...Copy !req
466. but there's more to him
than that.Copy !req
467. I'm beginning
to realize that myself.Copy !req
468. I care about him very much.Copy !req
469. And so do I.Copy !req
470. Now, tell me more
about my poet hustler son.Copy !req
471. It's over here.Copy !req
472. This is it.Copy !req
473. We tried to run an analysis of
it, but the computerCopy !req
474. couldn't make heads
or tails of it.Copy !req
475. Do you really think
this is the drugCopy !req
476. the boy's addicted to?Copy !req
477. It seems logical
that the FoundersCopy !req
478. would have kept a supply
of the enzyme aboard his ship.Copy !req
479. Hopefully, Dr. Bashir can
determine if this is it.Copy !req
480. Uh-huh. I still don't understand
why they would engineer someoneCopy !req
481. to be addicted
to a certain chemical.Copy !req
482. I suspect it's another way
of ensuring the loyaltyCopy !req
483. of the Jem'Hadar
to the Founders.Copy !req
484. If your soldiers
are addicted to a drugCopy !req
485. that can't be replicated
and only you can provideCopy !req
486. that gives you a great
deal of control over them.Copy !req
487. Seems a pretty
cold-blooded thing to do.Copy !req
488. My people don't have blood,
Chief.Copy !req
489. I believe this tube
intravenously deliversCopy !req
490. the chemical agent
into the carotid artery.Copy !req
491. How large a dose is required?Copy !req
492. I'm not sure yet.Copy !req
493. This supply could lastCopy !req
494. for a week or maybe
a month or even a year.Copy !req
495. I have to experiment
to find the right dosage.Copy !req
496. All right. We'll start with
two milligrams per minute.Copy !req
497. Let me know if you
feel uncomfortable.Copy !req
498. Well, his heart rate
is slowing.Copy !req
499. Some increase in
neurotransmitter activity.Copy !req
500. And his cortical impulse
readings are leveling out.Copy !req
501. Let's try three cc's.Copy !req
502. I think we can
hold it there for now.Copy !req
503. How do you feel?Copy !req
504. Good.Copy !req
505. Thank you.Copy !req
506. You should rest now.Copy !req
507. We'll talk later.Copy !req
508. I'll be in my quarters.Copy !req
509. Wait.Copy !req
510. I want to go with you.Copy !req
511. No, the doctor
will take care of you.Copy !req
512. I want to stay with you.Copy !req
513. He doesn't have to stay hereCopy !req
514. as long as I can monitor
his condition regularly.Copy !req
515. Well, it seems I have
my first houseguest.Copy !req
516. So you can change
into any of these objects?Copy !req
517. With varying degrees of success.Copy !req
518. Some forms are more difficult
to emulate than others.Copy !req
519. Like what?Copy !req
520. Like this one.Copy !req
521. As you can seeCopy !req
522. I haven't mastered
the humanoid face.Copy !req
523. I found it to be
quite challenging.Copy !req
524. Why do you want to look
like a humanoid?Copy !req
525. You're better than they are.Copy !req
526. You're a changeling.Copy !req
527. That doesn't make me better...Copy !req
528. just different.Copy !req
529. But I know...Copy !req
530. in here...Copy !req
531. that I am inferior to you.Copy !req
532. But everyone else hereCopy !req
533. is inferior to me.Copy !req
534. No. That may be
what your instincts tell youCopy !req
535. but it's not true.Copy !req
536. No one on this station
is better than anyone else.Copy !req
537. We're all equal.Copy !req
538. Then I must be at faultCopy !req
539. because I know
that you cannot be wrong.Copy !req
540. The first thing we
have to establishCopy !req
541. is that I'm not infallible.Copy !req
542. I'm no different than you are
in that respect.Copy !req
543. You have to begin
to think for yourselfCopy !req
544. to make decisions
based on what you wantCopy !req
545. not what I want.Copy !req
546. Do you understand?Copy !req
547. Now tell me.Copy !req
548. What do you want right now?Copy !req
549. No, don't think about it.Copy !req
550. Just tell me the first thing
that comes to mind.Copy !req
551. I...Copy !req
552. I want...Copy !req
553. I want to know more
about my people.Copy !req
554. Who I am and where I come from.Copy !req
555. I can understand that.Copy !req
556. I was also found by aliens.Copy !req
557. I didn't know who I was
or what my people were like.Copy !req
558. Did you ever find them?Copy !req
559. Yes.Copy !req
560. But...Copy !req
561. sometimes, the truth
is not very pleasant.Copy !req
562. Computer...Copy !req
563. display Bridge Security
Log, USS DefiantCopy !req
564. Stardate 48214.5, time indexCopy !req
565. 310.Copy !req
566. These are my people?Copy !req
567. Yes.Copy !req
568. They're a race
of brutal warriors.Copy !req
569. But that doesn't mean
you have to be like that.Copy !req
570. You can channel your feelings
of aggression in other ways.Copy !req
571. How?Copy !req
572. Computer, run program Odo One.Copy !req
573. So this is not a real person?Copy !req
574. That's right.Copy !req
575. He can't be injured or killed.Copy !req
576. He's just a computer simulation.Copy !req
577. How strong is he?Copy !req
578. As strong as you
want to make him.Copy !req
579. The computer will adjust
his strength, agility, speed...Copy !req
580. anything you want.Copy !req
581. In here, you can
indulge yourself.Copy !req
582. You can let
your instincts take over.Copy !req
583. Fight until you're ready to stopCopy !req
584. but at a price.Copy !req
585. Out there, you have
to control yourself.Copy !req
586. You have to learn restraint.Copy !req
587. Learn how to live peacefully
among other racesCopy !req
588. regardless of how you may feel.Copy !req
589. Learn to contain your feelings
of aggression and violence.Copy !req
590. Can I?Copy !req
591. Can I do it again?Copy !req
592. Can I have a stronger opponent?Copy !req
593. Computer, increase difficulty
to level two.Copy !req
594. It's too easy!Copy !req
595. Make it more difficult!Copy !req
596. Computer,
increase to level three.Copy !req
597. Can I speak to you for a moment?Copy !req
598. Computer,
increase to level five!Copy !req
599. I heard you let him
move in with you.Copy !req
600. It was his idea.Copy !req
601. He feels safer with me around.Copy !req
602. Well, of course he does, Odo.Copy !req
603. He was programmed
to feel that way.Copy !req
604. No, it's more than that.Copy !req
605. I think I've begun
to form a realCopy !req
606. connection with him.Copy !req
607. He trusts me.Copy !req
608. But can you trust him?Copy !req
609. How long do you thinkCopy !req
610. you're going to be
able to control him?Copy !req
611. I'm not trying to control any...Copy !req
612. anybody.Copy !req
613. I'm just trying to give
him some choicesCopy !req
614. other than becoming
a laboratory specimenCopy !req
615. or a Jem'Hadar soldier.Copy !req
616. I never thought
I would say this to you Odo,Copy !req
617. but you are listening
to your heart, not your head.Copy !req
618. That boy was created
in a laboratory.Copy !req
619. His body, his mind,
his instincts are all designedCopy !req
620. to do one thing... to kill.Copy !req
621. My body, mind and instincts
were designed to be a Founder.Copy !req
622. You were trained
to be a terroristCopy !req
623. but each of us chose
to be something different.Copy !req
624. I just want to give him
the same chance we've had.Copy !req
625. All right.Copy !req
626. Give him a chance.Copy !req
627. Just don't forget
he is a Jem'Hadar.Copy !req
628. He's dangerous.Copy !req
629. I'm well aware of the risk,
Major.Copy !req
630. I hope so.Copy !req
631. Computer, end program.Copy !req
632. Everyone keeps looking at me.Copy !req
633. They're afraid of me.Copy !req
634. They're mostly curious,
but they're also afraid.Copy !req
635. They should be.Copy !req
636. I could kill any of them.Copy !req
637. Is that all you can
think about, killing?Copy !req
638. Isn't there anything
else you care about?Copy !req
639. I don't think so.Copy !req
640. There is so much more
to life than that.Copy !req
641. So much more for you
to discover and experience.Copy !req
642. Maybe there is, for you.Copy !req
643. And maybe there is for all
of these other people hereCopy !req
644. but for me...Copy !req
645. Sisko to Odo.Copy !req
646. Go ahead, Commander.Copy !req
647. I need to see you
in my office, Constable.Copy !req
648. On my way.Copy !req
649. Wait for me in our quarters.Copy !req
650. Something's wrong.Copy !req
651. Starfleet is sending
the USS ConstellationCopy !req
652. to pick up the boy...Copy !req
653. and then take him
to Starbase 201.Copy !req
654. They'll be here in five hours.Copy !req
655. I thought we had an agreement.Copy !req
656. I'm sorry, Odo.Copy !req
657. Starfleet considers the boy
a top priority.Copy !req
658. I did everything I couldCopy !req
659. but orders are orders.Copy !req
660. I put...Copy !req
661. You're not sending me anywhere.Copy !req
662. What do you want?Copy !req
663. A runabout.Copy !req
664. To go where?Copy !req
665. That's not your concern.Copy !req
666. Listen to me,
this is not the way...Copy !req
667. I know what I'm doing.Copy !req
668. I'm leaving this place,
and you're going with me.Copy !req
669. You don't belong here
any more than I do.Copy !req
670. All right.Copy !req
671. It won't be necessary
to hurt anyone.Copy !req
672. Commander SiskoCopy !req
673. will see to it that no one
interferes with us.Copy !req
674. If they do, I'll kill them.Copy !req
675. Where are we going?Copy !req
676. To the Gamma Quadrant.Copy !req
677. It's where my people are.Copy !req
678. It's where your people are.Copy !req
679. It's where we both belong.Copy !req
680. I don't belong there.Copy !req
681. I don't believe you do either.Copy !req
682. I won't allow them
to put me in a laboratory.Copy !req
683. I won't go with them
to Starfleet.Copy !req
684. All right, but there
are other optionsCopy !req
685. besides going
to the Gamma Quadrant.Copy !req
686. We can find a place
where neither StarfleetCopy !req
687. nor the Jem'Hadar
will bother you.Copy !req
688. A place where you can grow
and learn about yourselfCopy !req
689. without worrying about being
sent to some laboratory.Copy !req
690. It's a big galaxy.Copy !req
691. All we have to do is head out
for unexplored spaceCopy !req
692. and keep on going.Copy !req
693. I am willing to do this
with you.Copy !req
694. To help start you
on your new lifeCopy !req
695. if that's what you want.Copy !req
696. You just don't
understand, do you?Copy !req
697. I want to be with my people.Copy !req
698. I don't want to be
anywhere else.Copy !req
699. I'm not like
these other humanoids.Copy !req
700. I'm a Jem'Hadar,
and that's what I want to be.Copy !req
701. You're not like these
other humanoids eitherCopy !req
702. but they've done
something to you.Copy !req
703. They filled your mind with
ideas, with these beliefs.Copy !req
704. I don't know what the other
changelings are likeCopy !req
705. but I know they're not like you.Copy !req
706. No...Copy !req
707. they're not.Copy !req
708. Spread out,
but remember not to fireCopy !req
709. until you hear my command
or the boy fires first.Copy !req
710. This is as far as you go.Copy !req
711. Let us go, Commander.Copy !req
712. I'm leaving of my own accord.Copy !req
713. I'll take the boy
back to his peopleCopy !req
714. then return in the runabout.Copy !req
715. If he boards the Constellation
when it arrivesCopy !req
716. he'll either kill a lot
of innocent peopleCopy !req
717. or be killed himself.Copy !req
718. What makes you think
he'll let you come back?Copy !req
719. I don't believe he could
injure a changeling.Copy !req
720. When the Constellation arrivesCopy !req
721. I'll tell them that I couldn't
stop you from leaving.Copy !req
722. That I would have had to kill
the boy to keep him here.Copy !req
723. Admiral Nechayev
won't like that answerCopy !req
724. but it has the virtue
of being the truth.Copy !req
725. Sisko to O'Brien.Copy !req
726. Release the security fields
around the airlock, Chief.Copy !req
727. Aye, sir.Copy !req
728. I'll see you when you get back.Copy !req
729. He was afraid of me.Copy !req
730. I could see the fear
in his eyes.Copy !req
731. Commander Sisko was trying to do
what's best for you.Copy !req
732. He was trying to help you.Copy !req
733. He's not my friend.Copy !req
734. He's my enemy!Copy !req
735. And I now know that anyoneCopy !req
736. who is not a Jem'Hadar
is my enemy.Copy !req
737. Does that include me?Copy !req
738. Station Log, supplemental.Copy !req
739. Starfleet has expressed
disappointmentCopy !req
740. over what it considers
a "missed opportunity"Copy !req
741. to learn more
about the Jem'Hadar.Copy !req
742. However, I'm happy to report
that with the boy goneCopy !req
743. life on the station
has returned to normal.Copy !req
744. I think we can get
the upper sensor gridCopy !req
745. back on line by morning.Copy !req
746. Good. We're going to need it
in the next few days.Copy !req
747. I thought you were going
to lower the boom on those two.Copy !req
748. Well, I was, but some thingsCopy !req
749. came up at dinner
I didn't expect.Copy !req
750. Oh. Got to know her
a little better?Copy !req
751. Decided you liked her after all?Copy !req
752. No, actually, I got to know
Jake a little better.Copy !req
753. Have you ever played
dom-jot with him?Copy !req
754. No.Copy !req
755. Don't.Copy !req
756. Major.Copy !req
757. About the boy.Copy !req
758. You were right.Copy !req
