- "Peldor joi," Emissary.
- "Peldor joi" to you, too.

lt looks like the festival
was a big success.

Everyone seemed to enjoy it.

- Thank you, Captain.
- For what?

For insisting that the festival take place
despite the war.

War or no war, we have a lot to be
grateful for and we must remember that.

We must. Shouldn't you be heading
to the wardroom for the ceremony?

- On my way. Let's go.
- Come on, you guys.

Mummy, look. lsn't it pretty?

Captain.

- Nerys, l've been looking for you.
- l don't feel like talking to you.

- Don't you want to hear my side?
- No.

Someone has to maintain order
on the Promenade.

- You arrested a Vedek.
- l'd hardly call it an arrest.

He wasn't in the holding cell for more
than an hour. He broke the law.

Fundraising on the Promenade
without a licence is forbidden.

Vedek Solis was raising funds
for Bajoran flood victims.

A worthy cause.
Nevertheless, station regulations are...

l don't care about station regulations.

- ls that the Orb of Contemplation?
- Goodbye, Odo.

To Captain Benjamin Lafayette Sisko,
in recognition of remarkable leadership

and meritorious conduct
against the enemy

and for acts of bravery displayed during
the battle to retake Deep Space 9.

Starfleet Command presents you
the Christopher Pike Medal of Valour.

- Congratulations, Ben.
- Thank you, Admiral.

To think l knew him
when he was a callow youth.

l bet even then
he showed signs of greatness.

l'm proud of you, Dad.

lf you would all excuse us
l'd like a few words with the Captain.

Good news, Ben.

Starfleet Command decided we've
waged a defensive war long enough.

They figure we won't win
unless we fight in Dominion territory.

l know you've been saying that

since the Romulans opened
a second front with the Dominion.

Your message finally got through.

- When do we go?
- That all depends on you.

- Me?
- That's right, Ben.

Starfleet has chosen you
to plan the invasion of Cardassia.

Finally! l've been waiting 20 minutes
for you to get out of that holosuite.

- l'm sorry. We lost track of time.
- Doing what?

You were supposed to exercise.
l don't see any sweat.

Where are the bruises,
broken bones, blood?

- We were talking.
- For an hour and 45 minutes?

lt is a private matter.

We're thinking about having a baby.

lt was a private matter.

- Kira to Worf. Report to ops.
- Acknowledged.

You two are awfully quiet.

Look, l don't want to dampen your spirits,
Jadzia, but...

l told you before that, medically,

it wouldn't be easy for a Trill
and a Klingon to have a child.

l'm worried the kid will look like his father.

l hope she does.

A baby?

lt's bad enough
she married that Klingon psychopath.

Do you have any idea what that means?

That their marriage is going to last
a lot longer than we thought.

Five squadrons
of Jem'Hadar attack ships.

That's the entire Dominion fleet
protecting the Chin'toka System.

Only five squadrons.

lt appears you've found the weak spot
we've been looking for.

All we have to do is to convince
the Romulans to join us.

That will not be an easy task.
They're arrogant and untrustworthy.

Without their help
we have little chance of success.

We will succeed! Mark my words.

By this time next year,
the three of us will drink bloodwine

in the halls
of Cardassia's Central Command.

- You're worrying over nothing.
- Am l?

lt's a mistake
to underestimate our enemy, Damar.

You're spreading our forces too thinly.

Until we have Gamma Quadrant
reinforcements, we have to make do.

We needed new ships
on the Romulan front, so l sent them.

And in doing so you left
the Chin'toka System vulnerable.

Not as vulnerable as you think.

We don't need starships
to protect Chin'toka. Not anymore.

These are our new, unmanned,
orbital weapon platforms.

Their hulls are protected
by regenerative force fields

and their arsenals
consist of 1,000 plasma torpedoes.

- l like them.
- l've already ordered their deployment.

- Legate Damar, we have a problem.
- What kind of a problem?

Me.

Well. lsn't anyone
going to welcome me home?

Heroes get welcomed home, Dukat,
not failures.

You've forgotten that your leadership
nearly lost the Dominion this war?

As l recall, Weyoun,
you were standing right by my side

agreeing with every decision l made.

lf you're here because
of what happened to your daughter...

Damar... You disappoint me.

l would have thought you, of all people,
would be glad to see your old mentor.

l don't hold you responsible
for Ziyal's death.

You fired the phaser,
but Benjamin Sisko forced your hand.

That's why l'm here.

The time has come to take my revenge
against the good captain.

We're in the middle of a struggle for
the control of the entire Alpha Quadrant

and all you care about is quenching
your petty thirst for revenge.

- You haven't changed a bit.
- On the contrary. l'm a new man.

l no longer have a need
for conquest or power.

l'm far beyond all that.

l exist in a state of complete clarity,

a clarity l intend to share
with the universe.

You're right, Dukat, you have changed.

You've gone from being a self-important
egotist to a self-deluded madman.

l hardly call that an improvement.

- l don't have time for this. Remove him.
- Wait.

- Why did you come?
- lsn't that obvious?

To give you what you desire
above all else. The Alpha Quadrant.

All l need is a certain Bajoran artifact,

one of many the Cardassians
appropriated during the occupation.

How is this artifact going to help us?

Let's just say
it will make it possible

for Dominion reinforcements
to come through that wormhole

and destroy Captain Benjamin Sisko
and the Federation,

once and for all.

Really, Captain.
l see no reason to sit here

and allow this Klingon jackal
to call me a coward.

This jackal has more courage
than the entire Romulan Senate.

- You see my point?
- General, you must try to remain calm.

This is not the time for calm.

lt's time to strike the enemy
and strike them hard!

We need to exploit their weak point.

This "p'tagh" would rather sit home
and count his dead.

lf we invade Cardassia now
all we will do is count our dead.

Gentlemen, please.
We're allies, remember that.

What good is an ally
who will stab you in the back?

Notice the primitive rage in his eye,
the uncontrolled brutality?

Klingons can be quite entertaining,
can't they?

Every Romulan zoo should have a pair.

Sit down, General!

Save your anger for the Dominion.

Senator...

- You've studied our invasion plans.
- Yes, l have.

l continue to find them premature.

Let the Dominion continue
to send its fleets against us

and we will annihilate them
one by one.

They'll continue rebuilding their ships
and send more.

The Dominion breed Jem'Hadar
faster than we can destroy them.

The only way to achieve lasting victory
is to demolish their shipyards,

their weapons plants,

to force them to retreat
deeper into their own territory,

until our ships can surround
their headquarters on Cardassia Prime

and they will have no choice
but to surrender.

l know it won't be easy.

l know that we will pay a heavy price
for every system we take from them.

But that's the only way to drive
the Dominion from the Alpha Quadrant

and that is a goal we all share!

Klingons, humans...and Romulans.

Here's to those who love not wisely,
no, not wisely but too well

To the girl who sighs with envy

When she hears that wedding bell

To the guy who'd throw a party

lf he knew someone to call

Here's to the losers

Bless them all

Hey Tom, Dick and Harry

Come in out of the rain

Those torches you carry

Must be drowned in champagne

Here's the last toast of the evening

Here's to those who still believe

All the losers will be winners

All the givers shall receive

Here's to trouble free tomorrows

May your sorrows all be small

Here's to the losers

Here's to the losers

Here's to the losers

Bless them all

That was great, Vic.

lt's not one of the most requested
songs, but l'm glad you liked it.

- So, why the long face?
- lt's a long story, friend.

This wouldn't be about
Dax's baby, would it?

- ls he a telepath?
- No, l'm a hologram.

- A very smart one.
- lt's simple.

Take one beautiful, happily married filly

and the possibility of her giving birth
to a foal and what does it leave you?

Lovesick stallions that never
got out of the starting gate.

You have any idea
what he's talking about?

l got news for you guys.
lt's time to move to greener pastures.

lt's tough to lose a woman like Dax.

l hate to break it to you,
but you lost her a long time ago.

You both did.
But lucky for you, space is big.

There are other nice girls out there.
With or without spots. "Capisce?"

That's it?
That's supposed to cheer us up?

The truth shall set you free.

- You feel any better?
- A little.

- How about you?
- l guess.

Good, because you were starting
to depress the band.

Thanks, Vic.
We appreciate the advice.

l like this place.
l may drop by more often.

Anytime, pally. Anytime.

Nice guys...but absolutely clueless.

- So when do we leave?
- We?

l'm a journalist, remember?

That may be true, but you're not going.

But, Dad, we're talking
about the invasion of Cardassia.

A savage thrust
into the heart of the Dominion.

l mean, that's not how l would write it.

That's a relief,
but you're still not going, son.

l have to go. lt's my job.
lf you don't want me on the Defiant, fine.

l'll go with General Martok.

Get the story
from a Klingon perspective.

All right, Jake, the Defiant it is.

- So when do we leave?
- Just keep your bags packed.

Yes, sir.

Don't worry, Dad.
We'll watch out for each other.

- The Sisko is of Bajor.
- lt is where he belongs.

lt is where he is meant to be.

Are you telling me
not to go to Cardassia?

The Sisko is of Bajor.

lt is dangerous
to walk a different path.

Dangerous? ln what way?

The Sisko must not leave
the chosen path.

- The Sisko is of Bajor.
- lt is where he belongs.

Why is it dangerous to leave?

And how will it affect Bajor?
You have to tell me.

The Cardassians call them
orbital weapon platforms.

lntelligence indicates the Dominion
has placed hundreds of them

throughout the Chin'toka System.

- Are they operational?
- Not yet.

- How much time do we have?
- Two, maybe three days.

lt would appear that your weak spot
is about to become much stronger.

Leave it to a Romulan
to run at the first sign of trouble.

And leave it to a Klingon
to leap to the wrong conclusion.

The Romulan Empire has agreed
to join the invasion of Cardassia

and we live up to our agreements.

But can the invasion be launched
before the defensive grid is activated?

We'll have to leave
first thing in the morning.

Then it's settled.
Good luck, gentlemen.

- Good luck to all of us.
- Romulans don't believe in luck.

All the better!
lt leaves more for the rest of us.

You've been quiet, Ben.
Those weapon platforms worry you?

lt's not about that, sir.

lt's about the Prophets...
the wormhole aliens.

They spoke to me last night.

l hope they gave
the mission their blessing.

They told me not to go to Cardassia,
that l should stay here.

- Did they give you a reason?
- Nothing concrete.

- Just that it's too dangerous.
- ln what way?

Dangerous to you,
to the mission, to Bajor?

- l'm not sure.
- What is it you're telling me, Ben?

- You want permission to stay behind?
- lt's not about what l want.

lt's about what the Prophets want.

That's not a good enough answer
from a Starfleet captain.

The Prophets don't see me
as a Starfleet captain.

- They see me as their Emissary.
- That's the problem, isn't it?

For the past six years
you've tried to be both.

Up to now, l've been patient.

l've gone out on a limb for you
many times, but this is it.

You must make a decision. You are
the Emissary or a Starfleet captain.

You can't be both.

l'll be on the Defiant bridge at 0500.

A combined fleet at Deep Space 9?

Composed of Federation,
Klingon and Romulan ships.

You think they'll head
for the Chin'toka System?

- l would.
- Then we have nothing to worry about.

The weapon platforms
will be operational in time to greet them.

- That's very comforting, if it's accurate.
- l'll make sure that it is.

Gentlemen,
l hope l'm not interrupting.

- What is it now, Dukat?
- l've found it.

Behold...the key to victory.

l see you remain sceptical.
You won't be for long.

Over the past few months,
l've immersed myself

in the study
of the Bajoran ancient texts

and l've come to realise
that the wormhole

is much more than the gateway
to the Gamma Quadrant.

lt's the temple of the Prophets.

lt's from there that they smile
benevolently down on Bajor.

lt's from there that they protect
that world and its people.

The sad truth is we wasted our time
fighting the Bajorans

when we should have been fighting
their gods.

- How do you fight a god?
- l'll show you.

You see...we have an ally
we never knew we had.

You may want to step back.

Dukat!

Your concern
is touching...but unnecessary.

Busy?

A little.

l'm leaving with the task force
in the morning.

l heard.

- And?
- And l'm sorry l arrested him.

l was just trying to do my duty, but l see
how it might have seemed excessive.

- What are you talking about?
- Vedek Solis.

- That's why you're here, isn't it?
- No.

But now l know
why you've been avoiding me.

l haven't been avoiding you.

- l've been helping you to avoid me.
- Why would l want to do that?

Because you don't want us
to be together anymore?

ls that what you've been thinking?

Odo, we had an argument.
People have them all the time.

Look at Dax and Worf. They love
each other, but fight all the time.

- You're saying you love me?
- Don't change the subject.

- Which is?
- l don't know any more.

- But you're no longer angry with me?
- No.

- But it was wrong to arrest the Vedek.
- l see.

l thought that we could spend
my last night on the station together.

- That's a wonderful idea.
- Then l will see you later.

- l look forward to that.
- Good.

You know, Nerys...

observing humanoid relationships
and being in one...

are very different things.

Like night and day.

lt's an ungodly hour to go to war.

- You can quote me on that.
- l will.

Jadzia, will you look in
on Keiko and the kids?

- You can count on it.
- And try to keep Julian out of trouble.

Now, that's pushing.

- lt's your station, old man.
- l'll take good care of her.

- Give my best to the Jem'Hadar.
- Oh, l'll do that.

- l prayed at the shrine for you two.
- About having a baby?

The Prophets
can be helpful in such matters.

l hope they're listening.

Did you hear that?
We have the Prophets on our side.

According to Dr Bashir
we need all the help we can get.

Just remember when you get back,
we have a lot of work to do.

l don't consider that work.

- l wish l was going with you.
- You are...

...in here.

l love it when you get romantic.

- Captain on the bridge.
- As you were.

- You got here early.
- This is a momentous occasion.

lt's not every day
l journey to liberate my homeworld.

- That's one way to put it.
- This is General Martok to all ships.

Assume tactical formation.
We are moving out.

- Take us to Cardassia, Mr Nog.
- Aye, sir.

The enemy fleet
is approaching the Chin'toka System.

What's the status
of our weapon platforms?

Still off-line.

You Cardassians are proving
to be quite a disappointment.

l'll remind you that you said that.

We're in luck, Captain.
The defensive grid is still off-line.

Jem'hadar fighters approaching,
bearing 059, mark 031.

They must know they don't stand
a chance against a fleet this size.

That will not matter to the Jem'Hadar.

- Sit down, Jake.
- All right.

- Martok to Sisko.
- Go ahead.

My attack wing is closest
to the Jem'Hadar. Preparing to engage.

Good luck, General.

- l thought Jem'Hadar were crazy.
- There's method to their madness.

They're inflicting damage
on the Klingons.

And getting their weapon
platforms operational.

Sisko to Martok.

The Jem'Hadar have crippled
or destroyed 15 of my ships.

- Do you need assistance?
- That won't be necessary.

Commence firing
on the weapon platforms.

- l believe you owe me an apology.
- l believe you're right.

lf Dukat gets our reinforcements
through the wormhole...

l'm not sure how much faith
l have in this... What did he call it?

- Pah-wraith.
- Pah-wraiths and Prophets?

This talk of gods strikes me as nothing
more than superstitious nonsense.

You believe
that the Founders are gods.

- That's different.
- ln what way?

The Founders are gods.

We are unable
to penetrate their force fields.

Captain, l've noted
something odd about those platforms.

Don't keep it to yourself, Mr Garak.

Not one of them seems to have
a power generator on board.

Each one seems to be
getting power from a central source.

We've got to find the source
and destroy it.

- Chief?
- l'm on it.

According to the DNA scans

the ovarian resequencing enzymes
l gave you appear to be working.

- Worf and l can have a baby?
- lt looks that way.

l didn't expect such positive results
so early. lt's amazing.

Thank you, Julian!

- lt's part of being a doctor.
- lt's more than that.

You're a good friend.
You always have been.

And l always will be.

l'd better get back to work.
But first l'll stop by the Bajoran shrine.

- What for?
- Kira said a prayer for me and Worf.

She told the Prophets
how much we wanted a baby.

l'd say they've been listening...
if you believe in the Prophets.

Well, l do today.

l'm not sure if l'm doing this correctly.
l don't come here a lot.

To be honest l feel more comfortable
thinking of you as wormhole aliens, but...

Kira believes
you're much more than that.

Maybe she's right. l don't know.

But if you are Prophets
and you're listening

l just want to say...

Dukat.

- Dad, what is it?
- Captain?

l'm not sure. l think l felt the Prophets
reaching out to me.

Something's wrong.

Sir, l found it.

There's a subspace power generator
on a small moon orbiting the far planet.

lt's transmitting energy
to the weapon platforms.

Captain?

- Take us there, Mr Nog.
- Aye, sir.

Get him back to his quarters.
Don't worry. We'll get the job done.

l know this is small comfort...

but l never intended you any harm.

- Approaching the target.
- On screen.

- Target locked.
- Fire.

We are unable to penetrate
the moon's defensive grid.

Sir, l have an idea. Maybe we can't
destroy that power generator,

but l bet those weapon platforms could.

Why would they fire
on their own power source?

We'd fool the targeting systems into
thinking the generator's an enemy ship.

We can use our deflector array
to imprint a Federation warp signature

on the generator's energy matrix.

lt is worth a try.

Evasive manoeuvres, Mr Nog.
Pattern Theta.

lnduction stabilisers set.
Booster modulators synchronised.

- Ready to activate deflector.
- Do it.

We did it!

Martok to Defiant.
Well done, Major.

We will begin transporting ground troops
to both planets immediately.

Major, we're receiving a priority one
transmission from Deep Space 9.

lt's from Julian.

This is a disaster. Federation soldiers
have landed on Cardassian soil.

Now you tell me
the wormhole is gone, and with it,

any chance
of Gamma Quadrant reinforcements.

l'm well aware things didn't turn out
quite the way l'd planned,

but l assure you
we still achieved a great victory.

Forgive me
if l don't share your euphoria.

You should. The Bajoran people
have been cut off from their gods...

perhaps forever.

How does that help us?

Because Sisko has been cut off
from the Prophets.

And without the Prophets
he's just another Starfleet captain.

That's supposed
to make me feel better?

Believe me...it will.

Emissary, Emissary.

Emissary.
My mother says all the Orbs are dark.

That the Prophets have abandoned us.
You have to find them, Emissary.

You have to ask them to come back.

l will try.

l managed to save
the Dax symbiont.

We have to get
it to Trill as soon as possible.

There was...nothing l could do
for Jadzia.

l'm sorry.

Save your strength.

Our baby
would have been so beautiful.

The funeral service
is due to begin in a few minutes, Jadzia.

But l need to talk to you one last time.

When l first met you you told me
that my relationship with Jadzia Dax

wouldn't be any different
than the one l had with Curzon Dax.

Things didn't work out that way.

l had a hell of a lot of fun
with both of you.

But Curzon was my mentor.

You...you were my friend
and l am going to miss you.

l should've listened to the Prophets
and not gone to Cardassia.

Then maybe you'd still be alive.

Damn it!

Why aren't you still here, Jadzia?

l need you to help me.
Something's happened to the Prophets,

something that's made them turn their
backs on Bajor and l'm responsible.

l don't know what to do about it,
how to make it right again.

l've failed as the Emissary

and for the first time in my life l've failed
in my duty as a Starfleet officer.

l need time to think...

clear my head.

But l can't do it here,
not on the station, not now.

l need to get away...

...and find a way to figure out
how to make things right again.

l have to make things
right again, Jadzia.

l have to.

The station's all yours, Major.
She'll be here when you get back.

This leave you're taking, sir.
How long will you be gone?

- l don't know exactly.
- We'll be waiting.

Good luck, sir.

Thanks, Chief.

My thanks to all of you.

Let's go home, Jake.

Landing pad C.

l was afraid of that.
He's not sure he's coming back.

- What makes you say that?
- His baseball...he took it with him.

Dad.

Grandpa's ready
to close the restaurant.

He wants to know
when you're coming in.

ln a little while.
