All language subtitles for Star.Trek.DS9.s02e02.The.Circle

Last time on Deep Space Nine...

This is the emblem

of the Alliance
for Global Unity.

They call themselves
the Circle.

What gives them the right
to mess up our station?

They're an extremist faction

who believe in Bajor
for the Bajorans.

I can't loan you
a Starfleet runabout

without knowing
where you plan on taking it.

To Cardassia IV to rescue
a Bajoran prisoner of war.

Come on.

We have a ship waiting.

What you did today, Major,
was declare war on Cardassia.

Thankfully, they declined
the invitation.

What if I told you
that I knew someone

who could bring
stability to Bajor?

Someone who could
unite the factions

and give us a chance
to do our job?

Bajor doesn't need a man.

It needs a symbol,
and that's what you are.

The Navarch needed to return
here to assume his new post.

He's been made the Bajoran
Liaison Officer to Deep Space 9.

I already have
a liaison officer.

Not anymore, you don't.

Major Kira is no longer
assigned to this post.

She's been recalled to Bajor.

And now, the continuation.

Frankly, Commander,
I'm surprised at your reaction.

Oh, I don't think much
surprises you, Minister.

But I was expecting you
to be celebrating.

I was under the impression

Major Kira has been
nothing but trouble...

Who gave you that impression?

Common knowledge.

Major Kira
has my complete respect.

She's been invaluable

in establishing
this command post

and now she's been dismissed
without anyone consulting me

and I don't appreciate it.

Commander, Starfleet
doesn't consult us

when they wish to promote
one of their officers.

Are you suggesting that this
is a promotion for Kira?

Certainly, it is.

We need to find
the proper spot for her.

After all, she's the one
who brought Li Nalas back to us.

Well, then,
that's a different matter.

I'm glad you see it.

Yes, of course I do.

For a minute,
I was thinking to myself

"There's a warm wind
blowing in from Minicoy."

I'm sorry?

It's just
an old saying from Earth.

It all started with a famous
ambassador from Minicoy

who used to bluster,
exaggerate and dissemble

to get what he wanted.

Not at all like you or me.

He was a bag of hot air

and everyone recognized him
for what he was.

May I assume you're satisfied
with the assignment of Li

to fill your vacant post?

I'd thought you'd want Li
to stay in the capital

to strengthen
the provisional government.

Frankly, I'm not sure
it's safe in the capital

with what's going on these days.

The Circle?

The fires and graffiti
were a nuisance

but two days ago

one of my fellow Ministers
was attacked and beaten.

We can't risk the same thing
happening to Li Nalas.

Look at it this way, Commander.

We're entrusting
Bajor's greatest hero to you.

Could you have

a better liaison
officer than Li Nalas?

I think not.

Commander, your son
has been waiting

to speak to you on the com.

Jake?

Dad?
I'm outside our quarters.

Could you come down
for a minute?

Is something wrong?

I really think you ought
to come down, Dad.

On my way.

What's the problem?

Look.

Come in.

You're not...?

Leaving?

I really don't have
much choice, do I?

You're not just leaving, Major.

You're surrendering.

You break the rules, you pay.

Wait a minute.

I want to be sure
I heard that correctly

because it doesn't sound
like the Kira Nerys

who has made a career
out of breaking the rules.

Well, I guess I broke
one too many.

Major, you've been
breaking one too many

for 141/2 years.

Cardassian rules, Bajoran
rules, Federation rules...

they're all meaningless to you

because you have a personal code

that's always mattered more

and I'm sorry to say,
you're in slim company.

I'll miss you too, Odo.

Have you asked Sisko for help?

I'm sure he'll do whatever he
thinks is best for the station.

You haven't even gone to him?

Well, what do you
want me to do, Odo?

Fight for what you want!
It's what you do best!

Well, maybe I just want
a vacation.

Ach! Idiotic bureaucracy!

Now, I suppose they'll expect
me to break in a new man.

A great man... Li Nalas
can handle the job, believe me.

Well, you did fairly well at it

once I smoothed
your rough edges.

Hah.

What's so funny?

I thought you did fairly well

once I smoothed
your rough edges.

Yes?

Am I disturbing anything?

Stick around.

You can help me cry
in my synthale.

I thought I should return
this epidellic lotion.

No. If you like it...

Oh, it's wonderful.

Well, then keep it.

How can you be chatting
about skin lotion

at a time like this?

Do you have any idea
where you'll be stationed?

Come in.
Not yet.

They say that after I've
taken some leave time

I've earned a desk

at the Foreign Affairs
Building somewhere.

Doctor.

Foreign Affairs Building?

I came to give you my best.

Well, that's rather dull.

I beg your pardon?

Dull is a polite word for it.

Doctor, if you were Kira

wouldn't you at least be
complaining to Commander Sisko?

Look, I just wanted
to wish you good luck.

Thank you, Doctor.

Complaining about what?

Never mind, Doctor.

If she doesn't care,
why should we?

Have they given you
any reason yet?

Did they give you
any alternative?

I do care.
No, they haven't.

No, they didn't.

I really ought
to finish packing.

You said she doesn't care.

You mean about
leaving the station?

By all means, come on in.

She's done well here.
She ought to stay here.

And I say she could use
a little support

from her friends, Doctor.

Well, yes, certainly, but...

Uh...

Chief! Come in.

I didn't mean to intrude.

I was just...

Don't worry, Chief,
it's all been said.

I have a good deal more to say,
thank you, Doctor.

Look, I could come back.

Odo, leave her alone.

This is Kira's
decision to make...

unless, of course, you
want me to talk to Sisko.

I knew what I was doing.
I knew the risk.

That's not what she asked.

I'd just like to say, Major

it's been a pleasure
serving with you.

Come in.

Will someone please explain
this conversation to me?

A party! Oh!

For you, I would have reduced
my catering rate.

It's not a party.

Voodai.

What's that?

A bottle of my favorite
synthale, I think.

That's very thoughtful, Quark.

It's also very small.

I was anticipating
a far smaller gathering.

I thought perhaps
an intimate farewell drink

a sympathetic smile...

a shoulder to cry on.

As I was saying, Major...

You'd be surprised

how often that works with women.

Is this a joke?

Did you plan this?

Nobody could have planned this.

Oh, we're open for business.

Come on in, join the crowd.

Vedek Bareil.

I hope I'm not interrupting.

No. Please come in.

These are my...

these are my friends.

I had no idea you were coming
to the space station.

Well, nowadays,
it's probably wiser

not to announce these things.

How bad is it on Bajor, Vedek?

The violence has
seriously escalated.

It almost seems there are
more weapons on the street now

than during the occupation.

How could that be?

Where would they be coming from?

I try to concentrate
on more spiritual matters.

Yes, of course.

I mean... I didn't mean
to suggest that you...

I understand
your duties here are finished.

Yes, they are.

Do you have any immediate plans?

I haven't really had much chance
to give it any thought.

Then perhaps I have
the perfect solution.

Come and stay
at our monastery for a while.

It can help when the spirit
gets a little bruised.

Thank you.

Major?

I just want you to know that,
uh...

if there's anything
I can do to help.

Major...

I'm sorry.

I didn't want this job.

Neither did I.

I mean, back when I was
sent here in the first place

but it, um, turned out
better than I expected.

I'm sure it will
for you as well.

I don't even know
what I'm supposed to do here.

How does a "Navarch"

fit into
this command structure?

As I understand the position

you report directly
to the Prophets

but, from time to time,
I might ask your help.

Commander

anything you need from me,
I will try my best to do

but I know that I can
never replace Major Kira.

No one could.

Thank you, sir.

Request permission to disembark.

I'm going to get you back,
Major.

I promise that to both of us.

Docking Bay 3.

May I make
a friendly observation?

- It's crooked.
- It's crooked.

I've been adjusting it
for an hour.

It looks fine from over here

but then I go
over there and it's...

This isn't working, Bareil.

It's only a row of stones.

No, it isn't.
It's me.

The stones are straight.

I'm the one who's crooked.

Is that really
how you see yourself?

Sometimes.

Sometimes I even like
being that way.

If I stay here much longer

I'm sure I could destroy
your entire arboretum.

Well, perhaps you'd
rather try your hand

at woodcrafts.

Can I tell you something
very personal?

Of course.

You won't tell?

I'm a Vedek.

I have absolutely
no artistic skills.

I was the worst finger painter
at the four-year-old level.

My parents were humiliated.

It'll be our secret.

The point is...

I'm useless here.

So?

So?
I need to feel useful.

It might be interesting
to explore useless for a while...

see how it feels.

Oh...

Well, you don't know me.

I'm beginning to.

It's time, isn't it?

Time?

Come inside with me.

I really should finish...

Come.

I've never been to this part
of the monastery before.

May it be the first
of many visits.

Bareil, maybe we
should talk about...

Oh, Bareil...

all my life, I dreamed of this.

It is the Third Orb...

the Orb of Prophecy and Change.

What do I do?

Be useless, Nerys.

Allow the Prophets to guide you.

The Chamber of Ministers.

Dax.

Listen to them, Kira.

I can't hear them.

It's all right.

Listen.

Can you hear them now, child?

I hear them, Major.

They're calling to me.

Don't listen to him, Nerys.

Allow yourself to hear them.

They're calling to you.

Blasphemy.

Listen to them, Nerys.

Help me to hear them.

I don't know how.

But you do.

You do.

You do.

Last night alone,
we had dozens of beatings.

They're everywhere...

till we go looking for them

and then they're nowhere.

Which would suggest
they have powerful friends

to warn them and protect them.

Probably.

We've got to put a stop to this

before it gets out of hand.

Now, the provisional government

is bringing troops
into the capital.

Troops?

That will put an end
to the Circle.

And you keep your eyes open
up there, old friend.

I always do.

No, I haven't made any progress

in finding the ones
who assaulted you.

It's over, Odo.

The investigation isn't closed.

It's just...

You don't understand.

It's over.

What are you talking about?

Everything.

Bajor, the provisional
government

the Federation being here...
all of it.

We got to leave.

Well, I do anyway.

You can just turn into a couch.

You mean because
of this Circle business?

They're just
a bunch of hooligans

who use violence
to get attention.

I happen to know
they have enough weapons

and explosives and supplies
to support an army.

How do you know that?

I've been asking questions
of people

who don't answer questions
from people like you.

Where would the Circle
be getting so many weapons?

The Kressari.

The Kressari?

That doesn't make any sense.

The Kressari
don't even have a military.

They're botanic DNA traders.

Well, they're not
delivering flowers these days.

I know, Odo.

Computer, when's the next
Kressari vessel due here?

The Kressari Vessel Calondon

is scheduled to arrive
in 36 hours.

Do you know
where these weapons

are being sent to on Bajor?

No, not exactly.

Find out.

Are you out of your mind?

My plan is to put
as much distance as possible

between me and Bajor,
thank you very much.

Quark, I hate to do this,
but I guess I'll have to.

That's not fair.

I haven't done anything yet.

Whatever you're going to do,
it's not fair.

You're a deputy.

It's not... what?

You're a deputy.

I want you to find out

where the weapons
are going on Bajor.

Meanwhile...

I'm going to find out

exactly where
they're coming from.

You and me, a team?

That's right.

Good-bye.

Either that
or I'm putting you in a cell.

That's not fair.

On what charge?

Impeding an investigation...

unless you want
to reveal the identities

of the people
you've been talking to.

You know I can't do that.

It's your choice.

You're a deputy
or you're a prisoner.

I'm a deputy.

I've got to go to Bajor.

Odo has some information

that suggests
we may be facing a coup

and I've got to check
things out.

Is there any way I can help?

Your military contacts...
see if you can get a feeling

for how much support
the provisional government has.

No problem. What about the
station while you're gone?

Dax and Mr. O'Brien
can handle things in Ops.

If you need any other help...

Help?
I can't even sneeze

without three people
handing me handkerchiefs

but I was thinking

we might want
to establish a curfew.

Another cargo bay was
vandalized last night.

Good idea.

I've asked Odo
to assign you a bodyguard.

Oh, it's not necessary.

I think it is.

Docking Bay 1.

Woodcrafts...
definitely the way to go.

Is that where the Prophets
led you?

Yeah. Lots of, uh,
hammers and nails and saws

surrounded by monks
and Vedeks...

very safe and secure.

You don't want to talk about it.

No.

Can I tell you something
very personal?

I'm not a Vedek,
but I can keep a secret.

The last time
I encountered the Third Orb

you were part of my vision.

Me?

It's the reason
I came to the station

to invite you here.

What...

what part did I play
in your vision?

It's not important.

I was just wondering
if I was part of yours.

No. No, you weren't.

How could there be a storm
on a day as lovely as this?

That's not thunder.

I know that sound.
That's gunfire.

What a pleasure to come upon
such a flowing exchange

of spiritual harmony.

Vedek Winn.

We've met before,
haven't we... Major?

Major...

Kira Nerys.

That's right.

Major Kira.

From the space station.

What brings you here?

I do, Vedek Winn.

Good for you, Vedek Bareil.

After working so hard,
you deserve a little recreation.

Major Kira is here
to explore her pagh.

A worthy endeavor
for someone who has led

such a life of violence, child.

And I'm sure the Assembly
would have had no objection

to your encounter with an Orb

had Vedek Bareil consulted us.

No one has ever been held
to that formality.

You're right, of course.

But I've always consulted
with the Assembly in advance.

I think of it as a courtesy.

Nothing more, nothing less.

How long will you be with us,
Major?

I'm not sure.

Feel free to stay as many days
as you like.

Even a week, if necessary.

Have them withdraw
from the northeast quadrant.

Move them to join

the 14th column
south of the city.

General Krim.

I'm Benjamin Sisko.

We met during a session

of the Executive
Committee last year.

I remember, Commander.

I was impressed by your talk.

As I recall, you disagreed
with all of it.

Yes.

But you presented
your arguments well.

What can I do for you?

I understand you're in command

of the forces
defending the city.

I'd hardly call it
defending the city.

There is concern
in some quarters

that the military is unwilling

to confront the forces
of the Circle.

I don't know with whom
you've been speaking, Commander.

I've been observing
troop movements.

Every time there is
a potential confrontation

the military withdraws
to a safer position.

You can't possibly appreciate

that this is Bajoran
against Bajoran.

I appreciate that the
provisional government

will stand only
if the military supports it.

We are all patriots, Commander.

We have intelligence

that the Circle is being armed
by the Kressari.

The Kressari?

I hadn't heard that.

We've been trying
to track the movement

of those shipments.

If we could determine

where they're stored,
then we can...

I'd like to know.

You'll be the first one
I contact.

Thank you.

There is one other thing,
General.

My First Officer,
Major Kira Nerys...

Yes, I know Major Kira.

I understand
she hasn't been reassigned yet.

It would mean a great deal to me
to get her back.

That's out of my purview,
Commander.

You might want to discuss it
with Minister Jaro.

Commander Sisko...

you told me about the Kressari

before you asked the favor
regarding Kira.

You could have tried
to trade that information

for the favor.

I wouldn't do that.

I'll remember that about you.

He's calling again.

What do you think we should do?

I think he's getting
tired of seeing me smile.

Anything new
from O'Brien or Odo?

They haven't come up
with anything yet.

All right.

Put him on the screen.

I will give this a try.

I am First Officer Li Nalas.

Can I help you?

Somebody better be able
to help me.

I have been delayed
for six hours.

I can assure you
the Kressari government

will lodge a formal protest.

My apologies.

Apparently, there has been
some confusion

with your manifest interface

in our computer inventory
system that had to be...

Yes, yes.
I know all of that.

I didn't know they were going
to be opening

every container
in my cargo hold!

Do you understand
these are highly sensitive

herbaceous materials?

I am sure that all necessary
precautions are being taken.

This is ridiculous.
I have a schedule to keep!

We should be able to have this
all cleared up in a few minutes.

That's what I was told
a few hours ago.

Dax to O'Brien.

Yes, Lieutenant?

We don't want to hold up
the Kressari

any longer than necessary.

Well, there isn't much more
we can accomplish for now.

The ship's due back here
the day after tomorrow.

Perhaps we'll be able to correct
any additional problems then.

Yeah, we'd come
to the same conclusion.

O'Brien out.

A fair voyage to you, Captain.

Prepare for immediate departure.

Major.

Commander.
I didn't hear you.

I'm sorry if I interrupted
your meditation.

Daydream.

Daydreaming...

I think I remember doing that
a long, long time ago.

I've discovered
it's like riding a bicycle.

It comes back to you
right away.

Can I bring you
back to reality for a minute?

Back to reality...

or back to DS9?

Are you still interested?

A lot has happened here.

I encountered an Orb,
Commander.

It's given me
a great deal to think about.

They do have a way
of doing that, don't they?

Well...

I just came to let you know
that we haven't given up yet

but for the moment

there seem to be
some bigger problems

for the leaders down here.

I heard the gunfire
in the distance.

That distance is getting closer.

The Circle is for real, Major.

They've been armed for a coup.

And I'm not at all convinced
that the military

is going to back
the provisional government.

I didn't realize it...

We've been so isolated.

Well...

I guess I'd better get back.

Commander...

Me, too.

I told you I haven't given up.

Begin transport.

I think you'll find
everything's in order.

Very well.

If you'll sign off
on the shipment

we'll be on our way.

Return transport.

Good afternoon.

So... you're involved
with the Circle.

I am the Circle, Major.

Now I understand why you wanted

to ship Li Nalas
off to the station.

The last thing I need right now
is a great war hero

capturing the devotion
of the Bajoran people.

How can you betray
your own government?

Major, I don't have to tell you.

I've heard your opinion
of this government.

Government?

They can't even agree
it is a government

so they call it "provisional."

It's just another word
for powerless.

I won't allow the Bajoran people
to be powerless anymore.

We have been doormats

to the Cardassians,
and now the Federation...

any great power that happens by.

We will not be that again.

We are a people who brought art
and architecture

to countless planets.

We don't deserve to be victims.

If you want to change
the government, Minister Jaro

you vote to change it.

You don't sneak up
from behind it with a dagger.

We'll discuss politics
at another time.

I need to know, please,
what the Federation will do

once our objective
becomes clear.

Major, I've heard you have
no love for the Federation.

I'm not an unreasonable man.

I'm willing to send you back
to the station

if that's what you want.

I'll give you that station
after we get rid of Starfleet.

Now, do you believe
they will continue

to support
the provisional government?

How about our own military?

I'd worry about them first
if I were you.

What will the Federation do,
Major?

What will Sisko do?

You know him better
than any Bajoran.

No one despises the Cardassians
more than I, Major

but we did learn
a few things from them.

Like how to encourage people
to talk.

Let's go.

Bareil says there were
no signs of a struggle.

Maybe somebody saw them leave.

That's what we need to find out.

What if they transported
her off the grounds?

Let's hope they didn't.

Now, we can't expect much help
from the local authorities.

They've got their hands full.

Commander, I should be able
to get some cooperation.

If my name carries any weight,
let's use it.

Good.

When's Odo due back?

Not for another 12 hours.

Who needs Odo when you've got
his number one deputy?

Quark, this isn't the time.

No, this is exactly the time.

I think I know
where you can find Kira.

Go on.

You see, uh, Odo blackmailed me
into helping him.

A matter which I've been meaning

to bring to your attention,
Commander.

Quark.

I managed to find out

where the Circle's
headquarters is.

In the labyrinths beneath
the Perikian peninsula.

Sisko to security.

Go ahead.

I need a couple of officers

to go on a rescue mission
to Bajor.

Report to Runabout Pad C.

On our way.

Doctor, Lieutenant,
you're with me.

Mr. O'Brien,
you'll be our pilot.

Configure the runabout sensors

for a full sweep
of the peninsula.

Once we find the base,
I'll depending a great deal

on your famous
transporter talents.

Aye, sir.

Commander, I'm going.

No, it's too dangerous.

Don't you understand?
I can do this.

I don't know what it means
to be a Navarch

but I can fight in the trenches
and I take orders well.

Besides, I owe her one.

Dax, you're in charge.

We can discuss appropriate
compensation for this

at a more convenient time!

Need one.

Check all the settings
on those phasers.

Two men, Sector B.

Take your positions.

Yes, sir.

Only five, but they've got
more firearms

than a Galaxy-class starship.

Where the hell's it coming from?

All right, straight power play.

Nothing fancy.

Expect heavy resistance.

Anyone who finds Kira

pin this on her, and call
for transport immediately.

Let's do it.

Kira!

Chief, get us out of here!

We don't have time for this.

Ow, ow.
Ouch.

Do not talk.

We have to assume
Jaro will move quickly

now that we've got you back.

Li is the only
chance we've got.

Me?

Jaro knows you're the only
force that could stop him.

If we could get him to the
Chamber of Ministers...

It's much too great a risk.

He'd be dead before he
had a chance to speak.

Courtesy of a Cardassian weapon.

The Circle's being supplied
by the Cardassians.

What?

I borrowed the proof.

It's got a Gul's thumb scan
on it.

The Circle hates
the Cardassians.

They don't know
it is the Cardassians.

They think they've been buying
from Kressari traders.

I don't understand.

Why would the Cardassians

want to help Jaro
if he hates them?

Because it gets them
what they want the most.

Rid of us.

They're just using Jaro.

Once the Federation
is forced to leave...

The Cardassians come back.

We've got to do something.

I've got to do something.

Sisko to Ops.

Go ahead.

Dax, open a channel to Bajor.

Tell them that Navarch Li Nalas

wants to address the Chamber
of Ministers on subspace.

I can't do it, Benjamin.

All frequencies
to Bajor are jammed.

We lost all communication with
the planet five minutes ago.

Then, it has started.

Get me Admiral Chekote
at Starfleet Command.

I feel the Prophets
smiling on me today, Vedek.

The Prophets have rarely
encountered a pagh

as forceful as yours,
Minister Jaro.

So, what's it to be, Winn?

Be?

Don't tease me.

I can't interpret
the prophecies for you, Essa.

I know the future.

It belongs to me.

I don't need
your interpretation.

Then what?

Your support.

I've made it very clear
to you how I feel.

Your public support.

Support from the Vedek
of an order so small as mine

surely would not be significant.

You stand for a return...
to orthodox values, as do I.

We're a match
made by the Prophets.

I wish there were more
with that opinion.

Unfortunately, as my assembly

approaches the selection
of a new Kai

I fear my voice is rarely heard.

That can change.

Can it?

Think of the prestige of having
the new leader of Bajor

being a member of your order.

If you are the new leader.

Have the Prophets given you
a reason to doubt it?

I didn't say that.

Then let them bless
my ascension.

Tell the people
the Prophets are with me.

That's a lot to ask.

I know that.

I need more than just prestige,
Essa.

I know that, too.

The people need leadership
to return to the old values...

yours and mine.

I can think
of no one more worthy

of being the next Kai
than you, Winn.

I shall do everything
in my power

to see that you are.

The Prophets are smiling
on you today, Minister.

Dax?

I have Admiral Chekote
on subspace.

In my office.

Commander, two assault vessels
are headed this way

on direct course from Bajor.

They've given all non-Bajorans
seven hours to evacuate.

Admiral, are you up-to-date
on my communiqués?

I think so, Commander.
How's it look?

Not good...
Jaro has the military

communications have been cut off

and assault vessels
are on their way here.

Are you preparing to withdraw?

Admiral, we've just
obtained evidence

that the Circle's
been receiving weapons

from the Cardassians.

If we withdraw,
we'll be giving Bajor...

and the wormhole... back to them.

Damn.

That's a hell of a turn.

How can these Bajorans
get in bed with the Cardassians?

They don't even know
the Cardassians are involved.

Then you're saying that it's

a genuine political revolution
internal to Bajor.

Supported by the Cardassians.

But internal to Bajor.

The Cardassians
might involve themselves

in other people's civil wars,
but we don't.

The Prime Directive applies,
Ben.

Admiral.

Would you say that our people
on the station are in danger?

Yes.

Then there's no other choice
but to evacuate.

We'll have to worry

about the long-term
political implications

down the road.

That's an order, Commander.

Chief, how long will it take us
to evacuate Deep Space 9?

I'd say we could have
all of our people

out and away in... three hours.

I mean a complete evacuation.

I intend to take all Starfleet
instruments, materiel...

in fact, all Federation
property of any kind.

How quickly can we do that?

Well, sir, that'll take days...
one week, for all I know...

but those assault vessels are
going to be here in seven hours.

Then, I guess some of us
won't quite be done

by the time they get here.
