{1}{1}25.000
{200}{235}Cadet?
{239}{308}Emitting distress signals|on all frequencies, sir.
{312}{392}- Chief?|- We're still venting plasma.
{396}{508}Any ship around will know we're here|and we're not going anywhere.
{531}{686}We have company. Two Dominion|ships, bearing 197, mark 135.
{690}{742}We'll be in range in 22 seconds.
{746}{793}- Shields?|- Shields at 30%.
{797}{863}- Phaser banks?|- The weapons array is off-line.
{867}{937}Now we find something to hold onto.
{1089}{1139}Shields are down to 20%.
{1361}{1404}- Now?|- Now.
{1408}{1495}Shields up, engines at full impulse.|Power to main phasers.
{1499}{1553}- Target locked.|- Fire!
{1680}{1743}Are there any other Dominion ships?
{1747}{1832}- None that l can see.|- This is the captain speaking.
{1836}{1891}All hands, stand down.
{1895}{1940}Good job, people.
{1944}{2020}We're being hailed by the Rotarran.|lt's Commander Worf.
{2024}{2076}On screen.
{2080}{2187}Well done, Captain.|You were a very effective decoy.
{2191}{2317}- How about next time l rescue you?|- You may have to wait.
{2321}{2388}We've received orders|from Starfleet Command.
{2392}{2503}All ships in this sector|to pull back to Starbase 375.
{2507}{2551}Fall back again.
{2555}{2649}Engage, retreat.|That's our favourite tune.
{2653}{2763}Soon the only song we'll be singing|is ''Hail the Conquering Dominion''.
{2767}{2824}Don't learn those lyrics just yet.
{2828}{2963}- Worf, we'll see you at Starbase 375.|- l will be waiting.
{2967}{3044}Set a course for these coordinates.|Warp seven.
{3278}{3354}l don't know|what you brass hats are thinking,
{3358}{3419}but take it from a simple field officer -
{3423}{3505}we won't win this war|by running from the enemy.
{3509}{3603}- l know that.|- Morale is at an all-time low.
{3607}{3719}Even the Klingons are starting to|wonder if we can defeat the Dominion.
{3723}{3827}We need a victory, a big victory,|and we need it soon.
{3831}{3896}l couldn't agree more.
{3925}{4012}- Then do something about it.|- l already have.
{4016}{4144}ln fact, l'm presenting a plan to|Starfleet Command at 0800 tomorrow.
{4148}{4200}What plan?
{4282}{4374}We're going to retake Deep Space 9.
{7331}{7437}Everything appears|to be perfectly normal. l'm sorry.
{7441}{7549}Keep looking! Whatever Starfleet|put in there is very well-hidden.
{7553}{7616}- Ridiculous.|- That's easy for you to say.
{7620}{7692}You don't know them.|They're desperate.
{7696}{7795}You won't get any of us to believe|that Starfleet lntelligence
{7799}{7896}has implanted a neural transponder|to monitor your thoughts.
{7900}{7949}l would have if l were them.
{7953}{8074}When l conducted interrogations for|the Obsidian Order, l did a lot worse.
{8078}{8118}l'm sure.
{8122}{8214}They are not interrogating you,|but debriefing. There is a difference.
{8218}{8252}Not from here.
{8256}{8371}- l'll have a "raktajino."|- And a "raktajino."
{8375}{8449}We are at war with the Dominion.|Cardassia is part of that.
{8453}{8528}You are a Cardassian,|once an important one.
{8532}{8615}Of course Starfleet|will press you for specifics.
{8619}{8717}- They must know what you do.|- Small details could be important.
{8721}{8852}lt's a lot more fun asking|questions than answering them.
{8856}{8978}All things considered, l'd rather be|on the Defiant with all of you.
{8982}{9068}- You haven't missed much.|- That's about to change.
{9072}{9147}Do you think Starfleet|will approve Sisko's plan?
{9151}{9200}We'll find out soon enough.
{9204}{9302}- He's presenting it right now.|- Here's to retaking the castle.
{9306}{9405}And planting our flag|on its battlements once again.
{9409}{9482}You've spent too much time|in the holosuites.
{9486}{9580}By combining the Second,|Fifth and Ninth Fleets,
{9584}{9705}we can retake Deep Space 9, the|quadrant's most important real estate.
{9709}{9809}Your plan is not without merit.|However, l remain sceptical.
{9813}{9905}The Dominion will send|a large fleet to stop you.
{9909}{9991}lt will slow their advance|into Federation territory.
{9995}{10100}- And leave their flank vulnerable.|- So we'll be on the offensive.
{10104}{10177}- One thing still concerns me.|- What's that, Admiral?
{10181}{10285}Earth.|You've left it a very tempting target.
{10289}{10351}Earth will be defended|by the Third Fleet.
{10355}{10477}What if the Dominion doesn't commit|its forces to protect Deep Space 9?
{10481}{10548}What if they launch|an assault on Earth?
{10552}{10628}lf we follow the plan you're proposing,
{10632}{10703}we'll never get|reinforcements there in time.
{10707}{10796}- The Dominion won't attack Earth.|- How can you be sure?
{10800}{10888}Earth isn't the key to the Alpha Quadrant.|The wormhole is.
{10892}{10998}And whoever controls Deep Space 9,|controls the wormhole.
{11204}{11277}Unbelievable. Amazing.
{11301}{11356}What nerve.
{11360}{11469}Morn, you do have a problem,|but the solution is simple.
{11473}{11594}You're a grown man. lf you don't want|to attend your mother's birthday party,
{11598}{11650}you don't have to.
{11654}{11716}And if she keeps whining about it,
{11720}{11835}just remind her there's a war on|and you have things to do.
{11839}{11888}Another ale?
{11984}{12055}Um...uh...
{12062}{12133}Here. lt's on the house.
{12325}{12383}- Major? You ready?|- Now?
{12387}{12466}- Right now.|- OK, but it won't do any good.
{12470}{12560}l keep telling myself that Odo|never meant to have Rom arrested.
{12564}{12631}lt was all a mistake.|Bad timing, bad luck.
{12635}{12684}l thought that too, at first.
{12688}{12779}l have known Odo a long time.|He's not a collaborator.
{12783}{12870}Then why is your brother|still in a holding cell?
{12925}{13012}- We're here to see Odo.|- The Founders are not to be disturbed.
{13016}{13126}- Odo will make an exception for us.|- There are no exceptions.
{13130}{13182}l'd like to hear that from Odo.
{13186}{13292}You're wasting your time.|He doesn't want to see anyone.
{13296}{13398}- Not until his guest has left.|- How long has his guest been here?
{13402}{13517}The female changeling|has not left his quarters for three days.
{13521}{13641}- Step away from the door, Ferengi!|- Perhaps it would be best if you left.
{13645}{13718}My colleague takes|his duties very seriously.
{13722}{13785}l promise to tell Odo you were here.
{13842}{13897}Let's go, Quark.
{14085}{14222}So that is how the solids|experience intimacy.
{14279}{14334}Not all solids.
{14338}{14416}Humans...Bajorans...
{14420}{14494}- l really must thank you, Odo.|- For what?
{14498}{14572}For giving me new insight|into the solids.
{14603}{14656}And what have you learned?
{14660}{14718}That what they consider intimacy
{14722}{14809}is only a shadow of|what we experience in the Great Link.
{14892}{15031}- You don't agree?|- l didn't say that.
{15035}{15156}- You have done this before?|- Not often.
{15160}{15218}But when you have, you enjoyed it?
{15271}{15305}Yes.
{15309}{15422}And you regret not having experienced|it with Major Kira?
{15462}{15589}- l'd rather not discuss Major Kira.|- l don't see why not.
{15593}{15684}When we link, your feelings for her|are made very clear.
{15712}{15813}Then why do you insist|that we talk about it?
{15817}{15904}Because talking is still|very important to you.
{15908}{15973}But one day, it won't be.
{15977}{16054}One day,|the Link will be all that you need.
{16058}{16149}- And that day is coming soon.|- ls it?
{16153}{16244}lt's amazing that you have survived|this long without it.
{16248}{16346}lt's only now, after l have been away|from the Great Link myself,
{16350}{16467}that l understand how painful|it must have been for you.
{16471}{16610}- lt hasn't always been easy.|- You never have to be alone again.
{16730}{16772}Well...
{16776}{16826}l'd better be going.
{16830}{16932}There's a meeting of the Ruling Council.|They're expecting me.
{16936}{17086}- That meeting was three days ago.|- Three days?
{17146}{17199}Three days.
{17268}{17335}How could l have lost track|of that much time?
{17339}{17387}Does that bother you?
{17448}{17558}- Yes, it does.|- Well, don't let it.
{17562}{17667}You've been living with the solids'|concept of time for too long.
{17671}{17781}Let them worry about their meetings,|their schedules, their obligations.
{17785}{17853}None of that has anything|to do with you.
{17857}{17978}You are a changeling.|You are timeless.
{18020}{18086}As am l.
{19329}{19378}- You asked to see me?|- l...
{19382}{19502}First, tell me something.|What do you think of this?
{19536}{19614}- lt's one of Ziyal's paintings.|- l know that.
{19618}{19695}Her father claims|it won a prize on Cardassia.
{19699}{19763}Gul Dukat must be very proud. Now...
{19767}{19891}ls it...any good?
{19895}{19980}- l think so. Don't you?|- l don't know how to judge it.
{19984}{20101}You see, my people|lack a sense of aesthetics.
{20105}{20179}- That's too bad.|- l sometimes think so as well.
{20183}{20242}But if aesthetics were important,
{20246}{20314}the Founders would have included it|in our make-up.
{20318}{20370}Or...they made a mistake.
{20398}{20447}Gods don't make mistakes.
{20519}{20604}Though...sometimes...
{20648}{20746}l think it would be nice|to be able to carry a tune.
{20840}{20949}- So what can l do for you, Major?|- lt's about Rom.
{20953}{21007}Oh, yes.
{21011}{21109}- The Ferengi saboteur.|- He has been held for a week.
{21113}{21173}Has it really been that long?
{21177}{21247}l hoped that you would|consider releasing him.
{21251}{21345}lmpossible. You can't release a man|and then execute him.
{21349}{21393}Execute Rom?
{21397}{21495}He committed an act of terrorism|against the Dominion.
{21499}{21618}Not only did he try to interfere with|our efforts to take down the minefield,
{21622}{21737}but, as l understand it,|he's also the diabolical genius
{21741}{21854}who came up with the idea of|self-replicating mines in the first place.
{21858}{21985}He must be made an example so|others think before acting against us.
{21989}{22045}He is married to a Bajoran citizen.
{22049}{22173}l know. l'm willing to believe, for now,|his wife is not a co-conspirator.
{22177}{22267}Otherwise she would|share her husband's fate.
{22295}{22422}l'm sorry, Major. The Dominion|takes a dim view of terrorism.
{22426}{22555}Your friend|must pay the price for his crime.
{22577}{22650}We'll see what|the Bajoran government says.
{22654}{22737}l'm afraid their pleas|will fall on deaf ears.
{22741}{22790}Major.
{22850}{22931}Would this be more pleasing|if it were blue?
{23137}{23177}l'm going to die.
{23181}{23241}- Stop saying that.|- He said it.
{23245}{23341}What l said is,|''They're planning to execute you.''
{23345}{23422}- lt's not the same thing.|- lt is to me.
{23426}{23487}We are not going|to let them hurt you.
{23491}{23611}Kira is asking the Bajoran Council of|Ministers to lodge an official protest.
{23615}{23670}l doubt it'll do any good.
{23674}{23734}And l've talked to|Grand Nagus Zek himself
{23738}{23809}and he has offered|to buy your freedom.
{23813}{23895}l don't think Weyoun|cares much for latinum.
{23922}{23983}l'm a dead man.
{24049}{24106}Will you stop upsetting Leeta?
{24110}{24168}Sorry.
{24172}{24287}Besides...you think your big brother|will let anything happen to you?
{24291}{24340}What can you do?
{24371}{24500}l'm not sure.|But l will think of something.
{24573}{24637}No matter what it takes...
{24674}{24788}no matter what l have to do,|l'm going to get you out of here.
{24792}{24889}You do that and...|l'll work your dabo tables for free.
{24893}{24943}- For how long?|- An entire year.
{24947}{25005}- Make it two.|- Brother!
{25119}{25186}lsn't your life worth two years?
{25190}{25281}Now, sit tight|and trust your older brother.
{25305}{25363}But l don't want you|to try to save me.
{25367}{25459}What? They must|have done something to his mind.
{25463}{25517}- What mind?|- l'm serious.
{25521}{25599}You have more important things|to worry about.
{25603}{25694}- The bar is doing fine but thanks.|- Not the bar!
{25698}{25761}What could be more important|than your life?
{25852}{25925}- Destroying the anti-graviton beam...|- Shh!
{25929}{26025}...to prevent the Dominion|from taking down the minefield.
{26041}{26163}You've got to finish what l started.|Our fate rests in your hands.
{26167}{26258}Billions of people are counting on you.
{26262}{26307}Boy, will they be disappointed.
{26311}{26366}Brother...
{26370}{26420}you can do this.
{26424}{26487}You have to do this. You will do this.
{26491}{26568}What happens if l get caught?
{26572}{26743}Then we'll die side by side, heads held|high. Knowing we did our best.
{26747}{26779}Oh, Rom.
{26783}{26846}But l don't want to die.
{26850}{26982}lf that's what's written...|then that's what's written.
{27041}{27119}Now get going, brother.|You have a lot of work to do.
{27387}{27454}So...tell me, Leeta, what else is new?
{27458}{27525}Have they fixed the sonic shower|in our quarters yet?
{27914}{28007}- Ziyal.|- Nerys!
{28011}{28083}- l haven't seen you in weeks.|- Do you have a minute?
{28087}{28151}Sit down.
{28227}{28289}l need you to talk to your father for me.
{28293}{28389}- About what?|- Rom.
{28566}{28610}- Father?|- Ah!
{28614}{28667}l need to talk to you.
{28671}{28771}- ls something wrong, my dear?|- Nothing that you can't fix.
{28775}{28831}Name it.
{28835}{28897}l want you to free Rom.
{28901}{28954}- You're joking.|- Not at all.
{29001}{29117}l can't free Rom. He's been sentenced|to death by the Dominion.
{29121}{29198}You can pardon him.|Don't you see, Father?
{29202}{29297}This is a chance to show|the Bajorans, to show Major Kira,
{29301}{29395}who you really are -|a forgiving, compassionate man.
{29399}{29465}A great man.
{29530}{29592}Tell me something, Ziyal.
{29596}{29714}Were you involved, in any way,|with the plans to sabotage this station?
{29735}{29798}- No, l wasn't.|- You're sure about that?
{29802}{29858}l need you to tell me the truth.
{29862}{29922}l am telling you the truth.
{29926}{30023}- Have you been telling me the truth?|- About what?
{30027}{30100}That the Bajorans are wrong about you.
{30104}{30210}That you regret the horrible things|you did during the occupation.
{30245}{30351}l do regret them, Ziyal... Deeply.
{30355}{30498}Then this is your chance|to prove it to everyone, including me.
{30537}{30618}Show us that you're capable of mercy.
{30727}{30806}Rom is an enemy of the state
{30810}{30890}and enemies of the state|do not deserve mercy.
{30946}{31092}- Spoken like a true Cardassian.|- l am a Cardassian.
{31096}{31170}- And so are you.|- No, l'm not!
{31174}{31249}- l could never be like you.|- Ziyal!
{31499}{31571}- You can't trust them.|- l trust latinum and so do they.
{31575}{31697}Five bars will buy me five Nausicaans,|a fast ship and very few questions.
{31720}{31807}Breaking Rom out|will be child's play for them.
{31811}{31909}Freeing your brother's|going to take precise planning.
{31913}{31975}lt's not the Nausicaan way.
{31979}{32054}They'll strut in,|look at a Jem'Hadar the wrong way
{32058}{32152}and before you know it,|there's blood on the Promenade.
{32156}{32228}Think l can get my money back?
{32398}{32512}Major. A freighter loaded with|Tammeron grain is due within the hour.
{32516}{32582}Make sure cargo bay 5|is ready to receive it.
{32586}{32678}- l'll take care of it. l'll have a...|- Yes, you will.
{32682}{32734}Now.
{32816}{32871}That attitude of yours, Major...
{32875}{32939}it won't be tolerated forever.
{32963}{33097}You don't like my attitude?|You're welcome to try to change it.
{33189}{33240}l don't know what Dukat|sees in her.
{33244}{33324}Then you need to have|your eyes examined.
{33328}{33388}One "kanar."|Want me to leave the bottle?
{33429}{33523}l should have you taste it first.|Make sure it isn't poisoned.
{33527}{33587}Poisoning customers|is bad for business.
{33591}{33711}True. But some people may place|a brother's revenge above business.
{33781}{33842}Not this Ferengi.
{33893}{33953}You're a credit to your race, Quark.
{33957}{34057}Unlike your brother,|you've chosen to back the winning side.
{34101}{34174}You going to tell me|or do you want me to guess?
{34178}{34253}- Tell you what?|- Don't be coy with me.
{34257}{34356}Someone you don't like has died|or your promotion came through.
{34360}{34416}lt's better than that.
{34523}{34574}- lt's the minefield.|- What about it?
{34578}{34639}- lt's coming down.|- l've heard that before.
{34643}{34691}Remember those field tests?
{34695}{34795}They were successful.|We've begun to deactivate the mines.
{34799}{34945}Well. You've got your work cut out.|What's it going to take? A year?
{34949}{35005}- One week.|- A week?
{35009}{35067}That's right.
{35102}{35207}One week...|and the Alpha Quadrant is ours.
{35526}{35625}This mission cannot succeed|without the Klingons.
{35629}{35691}We agree.|Chancellor Gowron does not.
{35695}{35744}Then change his mind.
{35748}{35850}He is reluctant to commit a large fleet|to a single engagement.
{35854}{35913}He thinks the Empire|would be vulnerable.
{35917}{36000}Starfleet had|the same concerns about Earth
{36004}{36063}but they decided it was worth the risk.
{36085}{36188}Perhaps you should return to Kronos|and make your plea in person.
{36192}{36318}The Chancellor respects you. lf you|cannot persuade him, no one can.
{36355}{36473}l will go to see Gowron|and you will come with me.
{36477}{36557}No. The Chancellor|no longer considers me a friend.
{36561}{36628}l know. But what could be better?
{36632}{36713}An ally and an enemy|both telling him the same thing.
{36717}{36792}He'll have no other choice,|but to agree.
{36796}{36843}l need those ships.
{36915}{36966}And you shall have them.
{37522}{37571}A week?
{37600}{37671}- Are you sure about that?|- That's what he said.
{37675}{37743}Believe me, this was no idle boast.
{37787}{37878}- We have to stop them.|- And end up in a holding cell?
{37882}{37947}No, thanks.
{37951}{38042}lf we could only get to Odo,|make him see what's going on.
{38046}{38129}- Then maybe he could help us.|- Forget about Odo.
{38133}{38236}First, we can't get to him.|Second, he wouldn't help us.
{38240}{38363}Then what we have to do|is warn Starfleet.
{38367}{38428}How do we get a message to them?
{38432}{38537}You're asking me?|You're the terrorist. l'm just a bartender.
{38584}{38678}l can see you haven't had much luck|getting Rom out of jail.
{38682}{38765}- And the news keeps getting worse.|- lt's not all bad.
{38769}{38851}- Trust us, Jake. lt is.|- Not for me.
{38880}{38960}l'm getting a message out to my dad.
{38964}{39038}- How?|- l'm a reporter. l have my ways.
{39042}{39130}Come on, Jake,|this is no time for games.
{39222}{39246}Morn?
{39250}{39301}He's going home|for his mother's birthday.
{39305}{39397}He has an encrypted message|for my dad in one of her presents.
{39960}{40008}Are you sure this is reliable?
{40012}{40092}l've known the courier for five years.|l trust him.
{40096}{40147}Then we have a problem.
{40151}{40243}The minefield's|coming down in three days.
{40247}{40313}The Ninth Fleet|won't be here for at least four.
{40317}{40389}Then l suggest we go without them.
{40393}{40460}- The Klingons?|- We go without them, too.
{40464}{40536}We've run out of time.
{40540}{40628}lf the reinforcements come through|we'll lose everything.
{40632}{40705}We take the ships we have,|fight our way to Deep Space 9
{40709}{40836}and destroy the anti-graviton emitter.|lt's our only hope.
{40840}{40886}Do it.
{41156}{41212}- There.|- Where?
{41216}{41358}Over there. That flash of light was|the anti-graviton beam hitting a mine.
{41362}{41444}And disabling its replication unit.
{41448}{41541}- Exactly. Didn't you see it?|- l'm afraid not.
{41545}{41646}For months, you've been demanding|that l take down those mines
{41650}{41744}and now that it's finally happening|you can't even see it.
{41748}{41830}- Weak eyes.|- Excuse me?
{41834}{41930}My people have poor eyesight.|We've learned to live with it.
{41934}{42000}Jem'Hadar, though...excellent vision.
{42004}{42057}l suppose they need it|more than we do.
{42061}{42109}There's another one.
{42132}{42181}l'll take your word for it.
{42185}{42299}Once we disable|the replication units in all the mines,
{42303}{42402}we can detonate the entire minefield.
{42406}{42466}And l guarantee you...
{42470}{42528}weak eyes or not...
{42532}{42615}that explosion you will see.
{42619}{42746}- When will you be ready to proceed?|- Approximately 78 hours.
{42750}{42879}Then we can bring the Jem'Hadar|reinforcements through the wormhole.
{42883}{42974}Excellent! l knew you could do it.
{43006}{43054}Did you?
{43085}{43153}l never doubted you for a moment.
{43157}{43244}l have new information|on enemy fleet movements.
{43248}{43330}The Second Fleet has fallen back|past the Kotanka System,
{43334}{43424}while the Fifth Fleet|has pulled out of fighting.
{43428}{43496}Both fleets have converged here -|Starbase 375.
{43500}{43560}That's where|Captain Sisko is stationed.
{43564}{43659}- He's now adjutant to Admiral Ross.|- Good for him.
{43663}{43721}Why have those fleets gathered there?
{43725}{43781}- l'm not sure.|- You're not sure?
{43785}{43911}Two large enemy fleets rendezvous|at a starbase and you don't know why?
{43915}{44024}We'll just have to find out, won't we?
{44028}{44093}See that you do.
{44189}{44271}He should speak to you|with greater respect.
{44295}{44364}Someday l'll let you|teach him that lesson.
{44368}{44488}But right now, there's something|more pressing l need you to do.
{44492}{44634}lt's of a personal nature,|a matter of some...delicacy.
{44638}{44715}- lt's about my daughter.|- Ziyal?
{44719}{44802}We've had a misunderstanding.
{44806}{44937}l want you to go and convince her to...|speak with me.
{44968}{45057}l feel l would be more valuable|tracking the enemy fleet.
{45061}{45128}l've given you an order, Damar.
{45132}{45201}We're on the verge of a great victory,
{45205}{45361}and when it comes,|l want my daughter at my side.
{45365}{45432}ls that understood?
{45748}{45885}l really believed my father had changed.|That he wanted to be a man of peace.
{45889}{46005}l think he believes that, too,|when it suits his purpose.
{46009}{46074}Everything he's said to me|has been a lie.
{46078}{46164}Not everything.|He really does care about you.
{46168}{46249}l don't care. l am not going back to him.
{46303}{46356}You don't believe me, do you?
{46360}{46450}Right now, you're angry and hurt|but that's going to pass.
{46454}{46532}And then you'll have|to decide what to do.
{46536}{46625}- l need to speak to you.|- We have nothing to talk about.
{46629}{46724}Maybe not but you and your father do.|He wants to see you.
{46728}{46809}l don't want to see him.
{46813}{46894}- You heard her.|- Stay out of this, Major.
{46898}{46944}Ziyal, listen.
{46948}{47064}Your father is a man of destiny.|But he also carries great burdens.
{47068}{47130}Our alliance with the Dominion|is dangerous.
{47134}{47220}lf we show any sign of weakness,|our allies will turn on us.
{47224}{47307}That is why we must all|help him remain strong.
{47311}{47386}Be a true daughter of Cardassia|and stand beside him.
{47390}{47458}lt should be obvious, even to you,
{47462}{47533}that l am not|''a true daughter of Cardassia''!
{47537}{47639}What is obvious to me is that your|father should have left you to rot.
{47643}{47700}But he didn't. He took pity on you.
{47704}{47777}- And it's your duty to repay him.|- Let her go.
{47825}{47962}- And if l don't, what happens then?|- l was hoping you'd ask.
{48327}{48421}- Did you kill him?|- No, but l thought about it.
{48467}{48565}- What will you do when he wakes up?|- That's up to him.
{48943}{49019}- l just came to wish you luck.|- Thank you.
{49023}{49111}My father says, ''You can never|have too much good luck''.
{49115}{49199}- He sounds like a wise man.|- And he makes a fierce jambalaya.
{49248}{49346}- What's this?|- Ancient Bajoran texts.
{49350}{49448}The Emissary looks for guidance|on the eve of battle.
{49452}{49596}Guidance, insights, loopholes...|l'll take anything l can get.
{49625}{49698}And what do the Prophets tell you?
{49702}{49817}That l have a long way to go before|l can make sense of their prophecies.
{49864}{49952}Maybe when this war is over,|you can look at them closer.
{49956}{50068}That would be a change.|Spend a week or two down on Bajor.
{50072}{50124}Visit the Dakeen Monastery.
{50128}{50198}l've never been on Bajor.|l hear it's quite nice.
{50202}{50253}Nice?
{50257}{50318}That hardly describes it at all.
{50322}{50421}There are parts of the Eastern Province|that are like Eden.
{50425}{50539}Lush green valleys covered in|wildflowers that spring up overnight.
{50543}{50655}Hundreds of ponds|interconnected by waterfalls...
{50659}{50781}l'm convinced. l'm already planning|my next R&R down there.
{50785}{50863}lt sounds like when|your assignment on DS9 is over
{50867}{50936}and Bajor|is welcomed into the Federation,
{50940}{50994}you'll find it tough saying goodbye.
{50998}{51048}l won't say goodbye.
{51096}{51170}l plan to build a house on Bajor.
{51192}{51272}What if Starfleet|assigns you to a different sector?
{51276}{51333}l will go wherever they send me.
{51337}{51392}But when l go home
{51429}{51500}it will be to Bajor.
{51833}{51887}Chief, l was just coming to see you.
{51891}{51949}They made me an Ensign.
{51953}{52026}- Things are that bad?|- Scary, isn't it?
{52030}{52087}lf my classmates could see me now.
{52091}{52169}- They'd be surprised?|- Amazed.
{52173}{52248}l just want to say|thanks for all your help.
{52252}{52320}l've learned about|more than engineering.
{52324}{52376}You showed me|how to be a good soldier.
{52380}{52469}Don't let the uniform go to your head.|You've a lot to learn.
{52473}{52550}And you will. Congratulations, Ensign.
{52554}{52640}- Wear it with pride.|- l intend to, Chief.
{52749}{52805}Captain on the bridge.
{52854}{52917}l've kept it warm for you, Ben.
{53091}{53168}Ensign, alert all ships.|We're moving out.
{53172}{53215}Aye, sir.
{53580}{53673}Our initial intelligence reports|have been verified.
{53677}{53732}The Federation fleet is on the move.
{53736}{53826}- Do we know their destination?|- They're headed here.
{53830}{53871}O-ho.
{53875}{53978}He knows we're taking down|the minefield.
{53982}{54075}- Someone got a message out.|- So it would seem.
{54079}{54159}No matter. We'll crush them.
{54163}{54262}Yes, we will. But in order to do that,
{54266}{54366}l'll have to pull a lot of our ships|off the front lines.
{54370}{54433}- Do it.|- Come in.
{54437}{54531}Once the minefield is down|we'll have more than enough ships.
{54586}{54640}l understand.
{54644}{54699}One moment, please.
{54819}{54876}l want to arrest Major Kira.
{54880}{54942}Kira? What about Ziyal?|Did you talk to her?
{54946}{55057}She doesn't want to see you.|When l insisted, the Major objected.
{55061}{55115}- What did you do to Ziyal?|- Nothing!
{55119}{55173}Then why did the Major attack you?
{55177}{55242}You must have|threatened my daughter.
{55246}{55363}- l told you to be tactful.|- Excuse me.
{55367}{55491}Can't resolving family squabbles|wait until after we've won this war?
{55524}{55659}- Weak eyes, good ears.|- Yes, of course. You're quite right.
{55663}{55711}You're clear on what must be done?
{55715}{55808}l'll call back enough ships|to destroy the Federation fleet
{55812}{55880}and hold this station.
{56018}{56070}The Federation is moving against us?
{56074}{56158}Yes. l want to know exactly what|went on between you and Ziyal.
{56330}{56497}lt's odd. l've stood here countless times|and yet it all looks different.
{56501}{56605}lt's the solids.|They look small, don't they?
{56609}{56673}lnsignificant.
{56677}{56763}- lt's not their fault.|- l'm not placing blame.
{56767}{56888}- They're trapped.|- Confined to a single shape.
{56892}{57012}- A single perspective.|- lt's so limiting.
{57060}{57126}l feel sorry for them.
{57130}{57226}They need our guidance, Odo,|not our pity.
{57230}{57359}- They cherish their freedom.|- We'll have to break them of that.
{57363}{57459}- Break them?|- ln a manner of speaking.
{57463}{57555}Oh! This language of the solids.|lt's so imprecise.
{57588}{57659}What exactly do you plan to do?
{57663}{57748}The solids are no longer|your concern, Odo.
{57752}{57869}What must be done will be done.|lt's as simple as that.
{57873}{57997}Forgive me for intruding but l have|important news about the war.
{58001}{58125}Why don't you return to your quarters?|l'll join you there shortly.
{58164}{58301}Don't worry, everything will be fine.|l promise.
{58487}{58625}l must say, you're doing|a wonderful job with Odo.
{58629}{58680}Meaning what?
{58684}{58795}He's always posed a potential threat|to our plans but you seem to have...
{58799}{58849}neutralised him quite nicely.
{58853}{58947}Neutralise Odo?|ls that why you think l'm here?
{58972}{59018}Odo is a changeling.
{59022}{59081}Returning him to the Great Link
{59085}{59175}means more to us|than the Alpha Quadrant itself.
{59179}{59264}- ls that clear?|- l meant no disrespect.
{59268}{59360}Of course you didn't.|You are what you are -
{59364}{59419}a loyal subject of the Dominion.
{59425}{59501}Walk with me.|You said you had important news.
{59940}{59984}Major!
{60160}{60201}Kira!
{60205}{60256}- Wait!|- l have nothing to say to you.
{60260}{60331}- l understand that you're angry.|- You bet l am.
{60335}{60416}- Do you know what's going on?|- Yes. Somewhat.
{60420}{60466}l've been occupied.
{60470}{60520}Dukat is bringing down the minefield,
{60524}{60596}the Federation is about to be overrun,
{60600}{60697}Rom's being executed|and you have been ''occupied''.
{60701}{60778}- This is difficult to explain.|- Don't mention the Link.
{60782}{60861}l'm a solid, remember?|l won't understand.
{60909}{60982}- l'm sorry.|- Sorry?
{60986}{61040}That's what you wanted to tell me?
{61044}{61099}- You're sorry?|- Yes.
{61103}{61235}Let me tell you something.|We are way, way past ''sorry''.
{61619}{61664}Message from the Cortéz.
{61668}{61748}They still can't stabilise|their guidance thrusters.
{61752}{61861}Tell them to drop back|and make repairs. Bring up the Sarek.
{61865}{61931}That's the 11th ship|to fall out of formation.
{61935}{62033}- Nice of you to keep track.|- lt's in his nature to be negative.
{62037}{62128}On the contrary.|l always hope for the best.
{62132}{62246}Experience, unfortunately,|has taught me to expect the worst.
{62250}{62397}l'm picking up a large|Dominion fleet bearing 004, mark 009.
{62401}{62487}- How large?|- 1,254 ships.
{62491}{62586}- They outnumber us two to one.|- Now who's being negative?
{62590}{62688}Ensign, on screen.|Maximum magnification.
{62692}{62743}Aye, sir.
{63012}{63164}To all ships. This is Captain Sisko.|Assume attack formation delta-two.
{63345}{63469}There's an old saying...|''Fortune favours the bold.''
{63512}{63555}Well...
{63559}{63640}l guess we're about to find out.
