The Saratoga put
in this morning.

We are not having
another party.

I promise, not more
than 50 or 60...

I can see it now.

200 people jammed into
our quarters-- eating

drinking, laughing.

Sounds awful.

What if I promise

absolutely
no laughing?

No, I mean it.

You won't see a single
smile the entire evening.

It'll be the grimmest party
you've ever been to.

When do you want
to have this party?

Next week.

And I was thinking

maybe this evening
should have... a theme.

What kind of theme?

What if everyone came as
their favorite Klingon?

Bad idea.

Commander,
your holosuite is ready.

Good.

Have fun exercising.

No party?

I came this close.

( groans )

Thank you, Quark.

Don't mention it, Major.

Glad to be of help.

Bajoran lilacs.

Is there something going on
between the two of you

that I don't know about?

Oh, don't be disgusting.

I ordered them
for myself.

Well, that's nice.

I thought you
didn't like flowers.

I don't.

I'm confused.

Jadzia, there's
such a thing as privacy.

Not between friends.

It's my mother's birthday.

She would've been 60 today

and my father always said
that these were her favorite.

That's a nice way
to remember your mother.

I wish I did
remember her.

I was only three

when she died
at the refugee center.

Well, I bet she'd
be proud of you

and what you've done
with your life.

Hmm. I'd like to think so.

I've always been
proud of her.

My father always said...

she was the bravest woman
he ever met.

COMPUTER:
Major Kira, you have
an incoming transmission.

From whom?

Unable to identify.

( sighs )

Oh...

Put it through.

Ah, Major, there you are.

I'm sorry to wake you.

What the hell
do you want, Dukat?

Oh, don't bother, Major.

I guarantee you won't be able
to trace this transmission.

Well, then, why don't you
just tell me where you are?

Because that's not why I called.

I want to help you, Major,
the way Captain Sisko helped me.

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

Captain Sisko
gave me the clarity

to see beyond the lies...

the self-deceptions
that were controlling my life.

He helped me to see
the truth about myself

and now, I'm going to do
the same for you.

And what better day to do it
than on your mother's birthday.

Was that supposed to upset me?

That you know
it's my mother's birthday?

She was a striking woman,
your mother--

although when we first met

she was very self-conscious
about that scar

along the side of her face.

She used to try to cover it up
with a strand of hair.

Nice try, Dukat...

but you never knew my mother.

She died in the...

The Singha refugee center?

I'm afraid not, Major.

That was something
your father told you

because he couldn't bear
to face the truth.

What truth?

That your mother left him...

to be with me.

( laughing )

Oh, you're lying.

Your mother and I were lovers
almost from the moment we met.

And we remained lovers
until the day she died.

I have had enough of this.

I see you have lilacs
on your nightstand.

Your mother
would've been touched.

She loved Bajoran lilacs.

There.

I told you the truth
was liberating, Major.

Now, don't you feel better?

I do.

O'BRIEN:
You're just going to have
to take my word for it.

The Battle of the Alamo

would make a hell of
a holosuite program.

BASHIR:
All right, all right.

Let me get this straight
because I...

There are 200 of us

trapped inside some crumbling
old mission or whatever

surrounded
by 2,000 enemy troops.

Is that right?

That's right.

Do we win?

No, we lose.

Why do you want
to play a program

where we lose?

O'BRIEN:
Well, you're missing
the point.

There's nothing
more noble

than a heroic defeat,
especially against

overwhelming odds.

BASHIR:
In life maybe

but not in
the holosuite.

Chief

you were supposed
to have finished recalibrating

those induction modulators
yesterday.

Yeah, we had a bit of a problem
replacing some of the coil...

Save the excuses.
I want it done within the hour.

Doctor, is there a reason
for your visit?

What?

Actually, Miles and I were...

Thought not.

We're on duty here
if you don't mind.

I don't want to interfere.

Well, all right, everyone,
we're not at the Replimat.

We're not here
to drink raktajinos

and catch up
on the latest gossip.

Let's get to work.

( sighs )

Odo, I've just
been informed

of the increased criminal
activity on the Promenade.

It's not as bad
as it sounds, Major.

We're talking about
a few incidents of petty theft.

I've already assigned
two deputies.

I'd prefer that you handle
the matter yourself.

If you think it's necessary.

I do.

And make sure that you keep me
informed of your progress.

Of course.

Is there something else
on your mind?

Meaning what?

Meaning I talked
with Dr. Bashir.

He told me
that you seemed irritable.

I see he's
not exaggerating.

Would you care to tell me
what's bothering you?

I appreciate the offer, Odo

but I don't think talking
about it is going to help.

Sounds serious.

It is.

Well, if you won't talk about it

perhaps you should consider
doing something about it.

A transmission from Gul Dukat?

This is the first
I've heard of it.

That's because
I didn't report it.

Why not?

It was of a personal nature.

I tried to trace the signal,
but...

What did he want?

He said he knew my mother,
that they were lovers.

You don't believe him, do you?

He knew certain things
about her.

Personal things.

Well, Gul Dukat is

a very resourceful man.

I'm sure he knows
a lot about your family--

about all of our families.

I keep trying to tell myself
that, but I need to know.

That may not be possible, Major.

There is a way.

I can visit
the temple of Iponu on Bajor

and consult the Orb of Time.

Excuse me?

I need to know the truth.

Let me get this straight.

You want to travel
back in time

to see if Gul Dukat and
your mother were lovers.

That's right.

Major, the Federation

has very strict
regulations concern...

This has nothing to do
with the Federation.

I need your help

as the Emissary,
not a Starfleet Captain.

The Emissary can see to it

that I am allowed access
to the Orb.

After that,
it's up to the Prophets.

If they feel
that my request is worthy

they'll send me
where I need to go.

If not, I've made a trip
to Bajor for nothing.

And if they do send you back?

What then?

What makes you so sure

you won't interfere
with the timeline?

The Prophets
will be guiding me.

Nothing will happen
without their blessings.

Please, Emissary.

Please...

let me seek the will
of the Prophets.

( birds twittering )

( distant voices )

( child crying )

Thank you.

MAN:
Meru

I found Nerys.

( sighs )

MERU:
Where was she?

Wandering over there,
scrounging for food.

Come here, sweetie,
beside me, here.

Is that all?

That's barely half a cup.

They've cut
everyone's rations.

It's not enough.

How do they expect us
to survive?

MERU:
The Cardassians don't care
whether or not we survive.

They won't be happy
until we're all dead.

Come here, sweetie,
come here.

Have some soup.

MAN:
Excuse me.

That soup... it's ours.

What are you talking about?

My wife stood in line
all day to get it.

If you think
you can just...

Just... what?

It's for the children.

They're hungry.

We are all hungry.

.

Like what you're
doing now.

Cardassians are the enemy.

We shouldn't be
fighting amongst ourselves.

We should be trying
to help each other.

That's what we were doing...

helping ourselves
to some soup.

Hey, you want soup

you go stand in line
like everyone else.

We may have to take orders
from the spoonheads

but we don't have
to take them from you!

( shouts )

Oh, thank you.

I wish we could repay
your kindness somehow,

but we have so little food.

That's all right;
I'm not hungry.

Can't remember the last time
I met a Bajoran

who wasn't hungry.

I'm Kira Meru.

I'm...

just glad I could help.

And this is my husband

Taban, my son, Reon

my son, Pohl,
and my daughter

Nerys.

They're beautiful.

NERYS:
Mommy. Mommy.

What is it, honey?

What is it?

What? Tell me.

( Nerys whispering )

She wants to know
what your name is.

Me?

I'm Luma Rahl.

It's nice to
meet you, Nerys.

MALE:
Attention!

The new Cardassian
Ore Processing Center

orbiting Bajor is
nearing completion.

The Cardassian troops
stationed there

will require
"comfort women"

to make their tour of duty
less... stressful.

Her.

MALE:
No!

CHILD:
No!

From now on, you'll
receive extra rations

of food and medicine...

courtesy of our Prefect,
Gul Dukat.

Her.

No!

And her.

But my children...

Your children will
eat better than they
have any right to.

Meru!

NERYS:
Mommy!

I love you!

Don't let them forget me!

( baby crying )

CARDASSIAN:
I said go!

You.

And you.

Ladies, can I have
your attention, please?

You will find food
in your quarters.

Eat as much as you want...

and make sure you get
a good night's rest.

You'll want
to look your best tomorrow.

Oh, and feel free to linger
as long as you want

in the sonic showers.

Cardassians
value cleanliness.

( keypad beeping )

Meru, listen to me.

I know things look bad

but don't give
up just yet.

We'll find a way
to get out of here.

How?

There must be a
resistance cell

operating here
on the station.

We'll contact them.

They'll help
us get away.

I don't believe this.

Fresh moba.

Do you know how long it's been
since I've seen fresh moba?

Nice.

Nice?

Look at this.

Katterpod beans and...

( sniffs )

hasperat...

veklava...

a pot of deka tea.

We could live on
this for a year.

Easy. Easy.

You don't want
to make yourself sick.

Sick?
From too much food?

That would be a change.

If only Taban and the children
were here.

( sobbing )

The Cardassians said they
would take care of them

so maybe they will.

Don't count on it.

We need to find a way
to get off this station.

Once we do,
we'll figure out a way

to free your family.

Then what?

We'll hide in the hills.

We'll join the resistance.

I suppose that's possible.

Of course, it is.

Till then, we'll just
need to bide our...

I'm sorry.

I failed to show
a Cardassian soldier

the proper respect.

We all have scars
of one kind or another.

Maybe...

but most aren't
quite so evident.

It's not so bad.

Why do you keep doing that?

What?

Helping me.

First, at the refugee
center and now here.

I don't have many friends.

Well...

you have one now.

Well done.

I can hardly believe
you're the same women

I met yesterday.

In fact, you're not.

Your old lives
have ended.

Your pasts
have been erased.

You have one purpose
and one purpose only--

to provide
comfort and care

to the Cardassian officers
stationed here.

Do that well,
and you'll want for nothing.

will be sent
to a labor camp.

Now, remember

ladies...

you're all easily replaceable.

Make one mistake
and I won't hesitate to...

Basso!

That's enough.

Welcome...

to Terok Nor.

I hope your stay here
will be a pleasant one.

I assure you, I will do
everything possible

to make it so.

I suspect that many of you
must be feeling a bit...

uneasy right now.

I'm well aware that among
the Bajoran population

there is a perception
that all Cardassians

are to be feared,
that we are a cruel

and heartless people.

I hope to change that--

not with words,

but with actions--

in the hope that you will come
to appreciate

the better part of our nature.

I assure you...

we are capable
of great kindness.

What of our families?
Are they all right?

Who said you could speak?!
Guards!

Stay where you are.

Your families...

will be well taken care of.

That, I promise you.

What is this?

I...

Basso...

Forgive me, Prefect.

I... didn't notice
the imperfection.

I'll have her
removed at once.

Get me a dermal regenerator.

But...
Now.

I'm afraid to ask

how you came
by such a mark.

It's nothing.

On the contrary.

It's an unfortunate reminder
of the gulf

that exists
between our two peoples.

It must be removed...
immediately.

Just relax.

It's all right.

( whispering ):
Relax.

There.

Beautiful.

Carry on.

Well, I'd say congratulations
are in order.

You've all passed
your first test.

( buzz of conversation )

Sit down and drink with me.

( laughing )

Mind telling me what
you're smiling about?

The Prophets.

I never realized they had
such a sense of humor.

When I was a child

I dreamed of having
enough food to eat

and pretty clothes to wear,
and now look at me.

I have everything I ever wanted,
and I feel horrible.

That is pretty funny
in a horrible way.

I suppose
if I can survive starvation

I can survive this.

After all, we Bajorans
can survive anything.

MALE:
You.

Think you can
stand there

hiding in a
corner all night?

I don't remember
seeing you before.

I just arrived yesterday.

And I bet I know
what you're thinking.

You'd like nothing better
than to get us all drunk

so you could kill
us in our sleep.

Are you sure
you're not part Betazoid?

( laughing )

Come.

Sit on my lap...

and tell me how
much you hate

Cardassians.

You Bajoran women,
you're all so bony.

That's because you Cardassians
eat all our food.

( chuckling )

You know, I could
have you executed

for that kind
of insolence.

And that's one of the reasons
we hate you so much.

( laughing )

Clever girl.

Now, pour me
some more of that kanar

and let's see if
we can't work out
our differences.

( door opening )

Let her go.

I said let her go.

All I said
to her was...

I don't care
what you were saying.

I don't like what
you were doing.

Now, get away
from her.

Are you all right?

Basso...

escort this woman
back to her quarters,

and see that her privacy

is respected.

BASSO:
She will not
be disturbed.

I only hope

you won't
condemn us all

for the boorish behavior
of one man.

I only hope
you won't condemn us all

for the boorish
behavior

of one man.

( door opens )

How did you know
he was going to say that?

Let's just say this is not
the first performance I've seen

of this little... melodrama.

That woman should
consider herself
fortunate.

She's caught the Prefect's eye.

As of now, she's off limits
to the rest of us.

As for you...

I know.

I know-- more kanar.

( chuckling )

( door opens )

( drunken laughter )

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Now, one foot in
front of another.

Don't tell me
what to do.

I'll put my feet
wherever I want.

I'm a Cardassian.

Whatever you say.

Just try not to stumble
out of any airlocks

on your way home.

I'm not going home;
I'm coming in with you.

No, you're not.

You're going
back to your quarters

and you're going to sleep.

I want comfort,
and I want it now.

You are a comfort
woman, aren't you?

You're dressed like one.

Oh, don't let appearances
fool you.

Mm. That mouth of yours

is going to get you
in trouble someday.

Now, let's go get
some... sleep.

( laughing )

I have a better idea.

You go sleep
in your quarters.

I'll sleep in mine,
and tomorrow...

Tomorrow, you'll be all mine
to do with as I please.

Oh, I can hardly wait.

( sighs )

Meru, I'm back.

I'm going to have
to shower for a week

to get the smell
of that Legate off of me.

BASSO:
I'll be sure
to tell him

you said that.

What are you
doing here?

Where's Meru?

Looks like you're going
to have these quarters

all to yourself, at least
for a little while.

I said where's Meru?

She's moving up
in the world.

Your friend must have hidden
talents I wasn't aware of.

Our beloved Prefect
has invited her

to share his quarters.

I want to see her.

( chuckles ):
Do you?

I said take me to her!

Hey!

( grunting )

( groaning )

So, tell me,
how's work going

on the ore
processing center?

You ought to join
the work detail sometime--

find out for yourself.

All in good time.

Once the center's
up and running

we'll all be slaving
away down there.

I have news for you.

About my friend?

I know why you haven't
heard from her

in the last few weeks.

She hasn't been
on the station.

What are you
talking about?

Word has it
she's been off

on a little vacation
with Gul Dukat.

They just got back today.

Why is that woman
so important to you?

She's nothing
but a collaborator.

She is not a collaborator.

She's a comfort woman
for the spoonheads, isn't she?

Mm-hmm. So was I.

For a day.

But I've been watching you.

You have no love
for the spoonheads.

Neither does
my friend.

Look, I told you already.

I don't want to join
your resistance cell.

Just leave me alone.

I will.

I promise.

But first, I need for you
to draw a map for me.

A map of what?

The Cardy side
of the station.

Well, like you said,

I was only
there one day.

Well, anything
you remember will help--

quarters, corridors,
meeting rooms.

Why? What are you planning?

It doesn't concern you.

Now, are you going
to help us or not?

BASSO:
You.

Follow me.

You may enter.

Luma.

Oh! Are you all right?

I've been worried
about you

since the night
they took you.

I know.

I wanted to get
a message to you.

Has he hurt you?

Who?

Dukat.

Hurt me?

No.

He hasn't hurt me.

I, I wish I knew
how to explain to you

these past few weeks...

make you understand.

Understand what?

DUKAT:
That I'm not

the monster you think I am.

You see?

I told you

I'd find a big
enough vase.

What do you think?

They're beautiful.

( chuckling )

I don't think
your friend

approves of
the flowers.

Or of me.

Meru...

are you sure
this is the woman

you want as
your companion?

Yes.

As you wish.

The fact is...

I've treated Meru
with nothing but kindness

and consideration.

If you don't
believe me

ask her.

I'll be back

as soon as this meeting
is finished.

It's true.

He's very different

from what
I expected.

Don't let that smile
fool you.

He's still the enemy.

It's not that simple.

Yes.

It is.

Meru... listen to me.

While you're in here
playing parlor games

he's busy carrying out
the extermination of our people.

That's not true.

He's written to
Central Command

urging them to rethink
their policy towards Bajor.

I don't care

if he played you
a holo-recording

of him on his hand and knees

begging Central Command
to end the occupation.

It would still be a lie!

Like that first night
when he saved you

from that Gul--
that wasn't real.

He set the whole thing up
to win you over.

He told me.

He tells me everything.

You just don't know him.

I don't need to know him.

I know the things he's done.

Look what he did to you.

He took you away
from your family--

from your children.

He's promised to help them.

He's going to send them food
and medical supplies.

That still
doesn't make it right.

What about your husband?

Taban loves you.

How can you forget him
so quickly?

I have not forgotten him.

What do you
expect me to do?

Kick and bite Dukat every
time he comes near me?

How is that going to help
Taban or the children?

Oh, is that what
you tell yourself--

that you're doing it
for the children,

the clothes, the food,
the easy living--

that you're doing
it all for them?

Are you that deluded?

It's not for them.

It's for you.

You like it here.

You enjoy playing house
with that murderer.

Don't you see what you are?

What you've allowed
yourself to become?

You're a collaborator.

A collaborator?

Because I share Dukat's bed?

No, because you like
sharing his bed--

because you've fallen
in love with him!

Where are you going?

Back where I belong.

It's composed
of ultritium resin

which means it's doubtful

that the Cardassian
sensors will pick it up.

Of course, there's
always a chance.

You let me
worry about that.

You sound like you've
done this before.

You'd be surprised.

Remember--

the bomb is set to go off

three minutes
after it's activated.

And once it's activated,
it cannot be disarmed.

So make sure
you have enough
time to get away.

How large of a blast radius
are we talking about?

20 meters.

I suggest you plant it
somewhere in Dukat's quarters.

I'll pick the right spot for it.

What about
that Bajoran mistress of his?

What about her?

You cannot risk telling her
what you're doing...

not even to save her life.

Why would I do that?

Like you said,
she's a collaborator.

She deserves whatever she gets.

I'm beginning to find
you very tiresome.

Yeah, I don't like
you much either.

Now, I need you
to take me to Kira Meru.

( scoffs ):
I have better things to do

than to shuttle you
around this station.

It's time you decided which side
of this gate you want to be on.

I have.

Now, take me to Kira
so that I can apologize to her.

Guard.

A wise decision.

( chuckles )

( Meru and Dukat chuckling )

I didn't expect
to see you again.

I came because I
owe you an apology.

The things I said,
they were unfair.

I'd like us to
be friends again.

So would I.

Whatever makes
you happy, my dear.

Can I get you something?

Maybe later.

All right.

First thing we do is get you
some new quarters

something close by.

Sounds good.

I have a copy

of that transmission
you requested.

Ah, thank you, Basso.

That'll be all.

What about her?

Don't concern
yourself with Luma.

She's not going
to cause us

any more trouble,
are you?

That's not what
I'm here for.

No, it isn't.

Well, Basso,
you heard--

find her some
new quarters.

Right away.

This is for you.

I think you'll find it
very interesting.

I'll be in my study
if you need me.

I'll see to my quarters.

Okay, Luma.

Meru, I hope the Cardassians
aren't lying to me

and that they really
will send this message to you.

I know it's only
been a few weeks

that we've been back home,
but you should see the children.

It's like they've been
transformed.

Reon and Pohl are laughing
and playing together.

They've never been happier.

And I swear, little Nerys
must have gained five pounds.

Of course,
they keep asking for you.

I've told them that you're
still at the refugee center.

I think that's best,
at least for the time being.

I can't believe
how much I miss you.

I think about you all the time.

You've saved all our lives.

I hope you realize that.

Never forget it,
not even for an instant.

Every day,
I pray to the Prophets

that you'll find some peace
in this new life of yours.

I believe that even
in the worst of times

we can still find moments

of joy and kindness.

If you can find

that kindness, hold on to it.

And remember, no matter

what happens...

I love you, Meru.

I'll always love you.

( sobbing )

Come on, we've got
to get out of here.

Why?

Dukat, get out here, now!
Go!

What?

There's a bomb.

Meru!

Get out of the way!

( groans )

Meru...

Meru.

( panting )

( gasps )

I've always hated collaborators.

I mean, what could be worse
than betraying your own people?

During the occupation,
if I ever had any doubt

about what their
fate should be

I would think
of my mother--

how she gave her
life for Bajor.

She was a hero.

They were traitors.

It was that simple.

Or so I thought.

She did what she had to do
to save her family...

to save you.

It doesn't make it right.

Maybe not

but it was her decision to make.

( sighs )

I did some checking.

She died in a
Cardassian hospital

seven years after she
met Dukat-- seven years.

Do you know how
many Bajorans

died in the labor camps
during that time--

died-- while my mother sat
sipping kanar with Dukat?

Tell me something, Nerys.

If you hate her that much,
why did you save her life?

Believe me...

there's a part of me
that wishes that I hadn't.

But the fact is...

no matter what she did...

she was still my mother.
