And I've downloaded
the new docking procedure checklist for Bay 6
into the Bay-Prod D-9 file.
That's the only bay using the new criteria.
Got it.
And be sure to monitor the power fluctuations
in the secondary fusion core.
It's got some little kinks in there I don't like the look of.
I will care for the secondary fusion core
like it was my own child.
As soon as I get back, I'm going to run
a full diagnostic, to make sure there's no...
Chief! We are perfectly capable
of running this place by ourselves for a week.
Well, if you have any problems
you can reach me on subspace...
Would you please go on vacation and get out of our hair?
Miles.
Yeah?
Have a good time.
Oh, right.
Thanks, yeah.
I feel relaxed already.
Is he gone?
KIRA: Finally.
Good. He's been driving me crazy all day.
You'd think that I was...
O'BRIEN: Commander...
I forgot to tell you.
I added a new subroutine
to the environmental control in the Habitat Ring...
Chief O'Brien.
Yes, sir?
You're on leave.
Please disembark this station.
Aye, sir.
It's okay.
Boone!
O'Brien.
Miles O'Brien.
We served together on the Rutledge.
Of course! O'Brien.
Oh, it's been a long time.
How are you doing?
I'm fine, just fine.
I work on this station now. Chief Engineer.
Is that a fact?
Yeah. How long you been out of Starfleet?
Oh, about eight years now. I settled on Volon III.
Well, that's on the Cardassian side
of the Demilitarized Zone, isn't it?
Yes. Well, the new treaty, it really puts us in harm's way.
But I run a ladarium mining sluice
so as long as the Cardassians need ladarium
for their warp drives, they leave me alone.
Well, after what we went through in the border wars
I don't know how you can live there.
You were there at Setlik III.
That's what got me out of Starfleet.
Really? That's why I stayed in.
Listen, my wife is waiting for me
and she hates it when I'm late, and I always am.
I'm coming back
for another supply pickup in a month or two.
Okay, let me know when.
( static )
O'BRIEN: O'Brien, Miles O'Brien.
We served together on the Rutledge.

KEIKO: Miles?
Uh-huh?
Didn't you bring the holo-cam?
Was I supposed to?
You said you were going to.
Did I?
Last night, when we were going over the list in bed.
Not me.
I was dead as soon as my head hit the pillow.
You talked to me for half an hour.
No, there must have been someone else in bed with us.
What's this?
Oh, just some new technical update manuals.
Our first vacation in five years
and you brought technical update manuals?
You know, maybe we should have brought Molly with us.
Do you think she'll be okay with the Petersons?
She likes the Petersons more than she likes us.
She's fine.
We could swing back
pick up the holo-cam and Molly
and still only lose about half a day.
Or we could pick up the holo-cam
when we get there.
How many did you bring?
What?
Tech update manuals?
Just a few.
Computer, play something by... Minezaki.
( soft plucked-string melody begins )
( woodwind joins in )
( sighs )
( laughing )
Do these chairs recline?
I wish they did.
You're an engineer.
Do something about it.
I'll make it worth your while.
Mmm...
COMPUTER: Vessel approaching.
Bearing 191 mark 6.
Identify.
Cardassian patrol ship, Hideki-class.
Shields up!
I... I can't.
They're jamming all subspace frequencies.
They're hailing us.
This is Miles O'Brien
of Starbase Deep Space 9.
State your business.
Mr. O'Brien, we've spoken before.
My name is Evek.
Shut down your drive, and come to a full stop.
We're beaming an inspection team aboard.
We're nowhere near the Cardassian border.
You've no authority here.
We'll argue about authority later.
For now, you will either comply
or we will take preemptive action.
COMPUTER: Warning.
Sensors are reading photo lock-on activation.
You have ten seconds.
Don't worry.
We haven't done anything.
Thank you for your cooperation.
I have orders to arrest you, Mr. O'Brien.
KEIKO: Arrest?
Search the ship.
What are the charges?
You have the right to refuse to answer questions
but such refusal may be construed as a sign of guilt.
I demand to know what I'm being accused of.
You deny all knowledge of this crime, then?
How the hell am I supposed to deny something
when I don't know what you're talking about?
So you do not deny all knowledge?
We are Federation citizens
and we have rights.
Yes, yes, all your rights
as defined by Cardassian Articles
of Jurisprudence will be protected.
I demand to speak to my Commander.
We will contact your Commander
and see that your wife
is returned safely to your station.
You will be taken to Central Prison
on Cardassia Prime to await trial.
All right.
I'm not going anywhere with you.
Miles!
No!
Miles!
CARDASSIAN: Look to the children.
They are the future of Cardassia
and they will lead the way.
Invest in their minds.
Teach them carefully...
CARDASSIAN: Remove your clothes.
My name's Miles O'Brien.
My rank, Chief of Operations, Starfleet.
I'm a Federation citizen.
Remove your clothes.
My name is Miles O'Brien.
My rank is Chief of Operations, Starfleet.
I'm a Federation citizen.
( groaning )
Would you care to make a confession?
My name is Miles O'Brien.
My rank is Chief of Operations, Starfleet.
I am a citizen of the Federation!
Process him.
( groaning )
( cries out in pain )
( groaning )
My name is...
Miles...
O'Brien.
My rank is...
Chief of...
( screaming )
Operations...
Has he been processed?
CARDASSIAN: He has.
You were told he was not to be harmed.
He had to be restrained.
Bring him his clothing.
I apologize for the way
you've been treated, Mr. O'Brien.
I'm Makbar, Chief Archon.
I want your stay here
to be as comfortable as possible
under the circumstances.
I've scheduled your trial to begin
in two days.
You've been assigned the venerable Kovat
as public conservator.
As what?
Your lawyer.
Many feel that he's the best counsel
in all Cardassia.
What do I need a lawyer for?
What am I charged with?
Who's accusing me?
All in good time, Mr. O'Brien.
All in good time.
Starfleet has ordered the Enterprise
the Prokofiev and the Valdemar
to the border of the Demilitarized Zone.
Hopefully, when the Cardassians see
that they are risking the entire treaty over this...
In the meantime, my husband is being violated by them.
Every shred of his humanity is being violated.
Isn't that true?
We don't know exactly...
Damn it! Don't lie to me!
They're torturing him
as we sit here.
It is standard procedure for the Cardassians
to use torture in their interrogations.
You are correct, Mrs. O'Brien.
You don't know how many times Miles spoke to me about this—
what the Cardassians did
to the prisoners they took at Setlik III.
What they were like
when they came back.
The thought of it
it disgusted him.
It scared him.
We can't leave him there.
We don't even know where he's being held on Cardassia Prime.
as soon as we have more information
I'll do everything in my power to...
Commander, you have a subspace transmission
from Cardassia Prime.
On screen.
I'm Benjamin Sisko, Commander of Deep Space 9.
My name is Makbar.
I'm the archon representing the Cardassian Empire
in its case against Miles O'Brien.
May I speak with him?
That is not possible.
May I see him?
Commander... May I be assured
that he is well and being treated properly?
Mr. O'Brien is being treated with great care and respect.
Good, because if he is not
I will hold you personally responsible.
And if that sounds like a threat, it is.
Gul Dukat's told me about you.
You live up to your reputation, Commander.
That's right, I do.
Now, what are the charges against Chief O'Brien?
The charges will be announced when the trial begins
as is customary in Cardassian jurisprudence.
How can we prepare for the trial
if we don't know the charges?
Mrs. O'Brien, I take it?
Yes.
Mrs. O'Brien, there's nothing for you to prepare.
Your husband's verdict has already been determined.
He is guilty.
The trial will reveal
how this guilt was proven by the most efficient
criminal investigation system in the Quadrant.
You may, if you desire, attend this trial, which begins
in two days' time.
We'll be there.
Oh, I'm sorry, Commander.
This is a privilege
enjoyed solely by the spouse of an offender.
What about his nestor?
His counsel and his nestor will be assigned by the court.
Nestor?
Advisor to the offender.
Madam Archon, I volunteer to serve as nestor in this trial.
That is not possible.
The nestor must be an officer of the court.
I am an officer of the court.
Chief of Security Odo.
I served Gul Dukat on Terok Nor.
You may check my credentials.
I was designated an officer of the Cardassian Court
four years ago, in order to testify in criminal cases.
Very well.
If this is true, you may accompany Mrs. O'Brien
and serve as nestor.
May I ask, what penalty does Mr. O'Brien face?
His execution is scheduled for next week.
How can you schedule an execution
before a trial even begins?
We believe in swift justice.
Mrs. O'Brien, we should leave immediately.
Begin a complete security sweep of the station
and Chief O'Brien's recent activities.
I want to know if there's anything out of the ordinary
that might begin to explain this.
Commander, Chief O'Brien's attitude
towards the Cardassians is hardly a secret.
What if he actually has done something?
Then we need to know that, too, don't we?
Miles O'Brien?
Eh, yes, of course you are.
I'm Conservator Kovat.
I've been told that I've already been charged
indicted, convicted and sentenced.
What would I need with a lawyer?
Ah, Mr. O'Brien, if it sounds
immodest of me, I apologize.
But the role of public conservator
is key to the productive functioning of our courts.
I'm here to help you concede the wisdom of the state
to prepare you to accept the inevitable with equanimity.
Ha!
( snorts derisively )
There's an old Cardassian expression:
"Confession is good for the soul."
But it's also good for the populace to see
people like you confess.
It makes them feel better about themselves.
It makes them—
makes their lives— more bearable.
So, that's what this is all about?
Make the people of Cardassia feel better, huh?
No, no, no, no.
But that's... that's not a bad side effect.
Now then, we have your biographical extracts.
We have your Starfleet records.
All this will be very useful.
What am I being charged with?
Oh, no need to worry about that
at this point.
This is insane!
Now, whatever you've done
whatever the charges against you
none of that really matters in the long run.
What does matter?
This trial is to demonstrate
the futility of behavior contrary to good order.
Everyone will find it most uplifting.
Not everyone.
Once again, justice will be done.
Our lives will be reaffirmed, safe and secure.
Here on Cardassia, all crimes are solved
all criminals are punished, all endings are happy.
Even the poorest of our subjects can walk the streets
in the dead of night in perfect safety.
You're only one man, but your conviction
will be a salutary experience for millions.
Now then...
the trial opens tomorrow.
Do you have any questions
anything you want to tell me?
Only that I am not guilty of any crime
and that I hold this entire procedure
with nothing but contempt.
That's good, that's good.
Maintain that level of arrogance
in the courtroom
and we shall put on a very good show, indeed.
Oh, I do have one question.
Yes, certainly.
Have you ever won a case?
Winning isn't everything.
( sighs )
Are they all like this?
KIRA: All of them.
There isn't a photon warhead left in here.
How could somebody transport
two dozen warheads off this station
without the perimeter sensors picking it up?
The metal in these crates
has the same mass as the warheads.
A transporter could have been programmed
to switch the two simultaneously.
The sensors could have been fooled.
But it would require a transporter expert.
I know what you're implying, Major, and I don't like it.
Neither do I, but there is more.
According to the logs, O'Brien was in here
just minutes before his runabout left.
Computer, play Security Log entry
Stardate 47944.2— weapons locker.
O'BRIEN: Request access
Weapons Locker 4, Miles O'Brien
Security Level One.
The computer confirmed his voiceprint ID
and let him in.
As soon as the door opened
some kind of field saturation device
was activated that froze all the security scanners in the room.
I want a full analysis of that voiceprint.
Make absolutely sure it was O'Brien.
But it doesn't make sense.
What would he do with photon warheads?
KIRA: Give them to the Maquis.
We had an advisory two weeks ago
that a Maquis ship disabled a Bolian freighter
near the Demilitarized Zone and stole
a supply of photon launchers.
Launchers but no warheads?
Launchers, but no warheads.
You're suggesting that Miles O'Brien
took his wife on a romantic vacation
as an excuse to deliver warheads to the Maquis?
I don't believe it!
If these warheads were in the runabout, they'll be used
as evidence in the trial.
Commander!
We'll find that out soon enough.
If they were in the runabout
how did the Cardassians find out?
That's the one question I want an answer to.
I also want to find out who the other guy was.
The other guy?
The one who was waiting to receive these warheads.
I'll have Starfleet Intelligence
begin to pick up Maquis suspects for questioning.
In the meantime, let's see if we can ID
any possible Maquis members
who have been on the station recently.
Dismissed.
Tell me you're here to take me home.
I'm sorry.
How have they treated you?
Not so bad.
They did some dental work when I got here
that wasn't much fun.
All Cardassians are required
to give the Bureau of Identification
one of their first molars.
It's usually extracted at age ten.
Keiko... is she all right?
She came with me.
She's here? Now?
It's not permitted for family members
to visit offenders in confinement.
She'll be at the trial tomorrow.
The Cardassians always invite families
to trials and executions
so that the public can see them weep.
No.
I don't want her there.
I don't want her to see me like this.
I think that's a mistake.
My lawyer has already told me.
It's all over but the execution.
I... I don't even know what I'm charged with!
Did they tell you anything?
No... but we have an idea.
What?
Have you ever had
any dealings with the Maquis?
Dealings?
No. I'm not sure what you mean.
Do you know anybody in the Maquis?
No.
Ever supplied any of them with weapons?
No!
Are you here to interrogate me, Constable?
Is anyone ever going to tell me what I'm supposed to have done?
Commander Sisko informed me a few hours ago
that 24 photon warheads are missing from the station.
We believe they may have been in your runabout's cargo bay
intended for the Maquis.
The Cardassians did find something in the hold.
That's true.
But you know nothing about it?
Nothing.
And you didn't transport them from Weapons Locker 4
just before you left the station?
No.
Were you in Weapons Locker 4 before you left the station?
No.
Then why does the log say that you were?
Why was it your voice
releasing the security lock?
My voice?
Your voice.
I don't know.
( laughs )
You don't know me very well, Constable, but I... I...
I've been in service to the Federation— Starfleet—
all my adult life.
No one has ever questioned my loyalty.
No one in my entire life has ever had cause to ask
"Miles O'Brien, are you a criminal?"
I took an oath...
to defend the Federation and what it stands for.
I don't steal from them.
I don't lie to them.
I'm no angel, but I try to live every day
as the best human being I know how to be.
I need my little girl to wake up in the morning
and look up at me and see a man she can respect.
Until now, she always could.
Being accused of a crime is not a disgrace, Chief.
Some of the great figures of history
have shared the honor with you.
I didn't figure on dying a martyr.
Not all of them were martyrs.
Not all of them died.
Some of them were just innocent men
like you.
Now, I've managed to get myself
named to your defense team.
I'll be there tomorrow.
Your wife will be there, as well
but she won't be weeping, and neither will you.
I want the archon to see
the clear, unwavering eyes of an innocent man.
Is that understood?
Yes, sir.
Guard!
I'll see you tomorrow.
Odo...
thanks for being here.
DAX: The voice modulation patterns
See how the peaks here and here are out of phase?
So, we can prove it wasn't O'Brien
who entered the weapons locker.
It's O'Brien's voice, but the sentence
was reconstructed sound by sound.
I've got our Maquis.
I narrowed the suspects down
to 12 people who live in the Demilitarized Zone
and were on the station that day.
Raymond Boone, human. Lives on Volon III.
Three merchants on the Promenade
saw him talking to O'Brien just before he left.
Talking to him and recording his voice perhaps?
Recording?
DAX: Someone doctored
Chief O'Brien's voice
to get into the weapons locker.
I'll have him picked up.
The offender, Miles O'Brien, human
officer of the Federation Starfleet
has been found guilty
of aiding and abetting seditious acts
against the state.
The sentence is death.
Let the trial begin.
( bang )
Conservator Kovat, is the offender
ready to face his judgment?
He is, Madam Archon.
Let him enter.
( knuckles tapping )
MAKBAR: Mr. O'Brien
you can spare your family and the Federation
further humiliation by dispensing with this proceeding
and confessing now.
No, thanks.
Very well.
The Nestor and Mrs. O'Brien may enter.
MAKBAR: Mrs. O'Brien
this court recognizes the disgrace
your husband has brought to you.
As is prescribed in the Cardassian Articles
of Jurisprudence, we hereby offer you
the opportunity to disassociate yourself from his actions
by testifying against him.
I have no intention
of testifying against my husband.
Call the first witness.
Madam Archon
may I confer privately
with the Conservator before we begin?
( sighs in annoyance )
I believe that this is the first time
you are serving as nestor, so perhaps I should explain
that you have no authority to address this court.
You assist the defendant, that is all.
I beg the court's indulgence. I am new at this.
MAKBAR: All of Cardassia is watching
these proceedings.
Private conferences do not make for good viewing.
You should have done this
before we convened.
Very well. Make it quick.
Please don't ruin this for me.
I'm only a year away from retirement.
We have new evidence
to prove O'Brien's innocence.
New evidence?
If O'Brien is accused of stealing warheads
from Deep Space 9, we can prove that he didn't do it.
KOVAT: Of course he did it.
He's been found guilty, hasn't he?
Someone manipulated a recording
of his voice to gain entry.
I can produce that recording here.
No evidence can be submitted
after the verdict has been reached.
You should know that.
Of course, but I was hoping that the most
renowned conservator in all of Cardassia...
You flatter me, sir, you flatter me.
But we want justice
not chaos in this court.
No, I will have no part of this.
MAKBAR: Enough!
Are you ready to proceed, Conservator?
I am.
Madam Archon, may I address the court?
Didn't I just explain to you that you may not?
But if our Conservator
refuses to bring up new evidence...
Silence!
of a manipulated
recording of the offender's voice
that would prove his innocence...
You are out of order, sir!
What else am I supposed to do?
You are supposed to respect our judicial procedures.
Wouldn't you ask that we respect your rules
if we were in your court?
Which raises my next point, Madam Archon.
I would like to move for a change of venue to my court.
No crime has been committed
against Cardassia.
It was, in fact, committed at a Bajoran space station.
Madam Archon, I am extremely humiliated.
I ask to be relieved of this assignment.
MAKBAR: No!
Sit down!
And you, sir...
do not try the patience of the Cardassian people.
If this court finds you in contempt
you will find the punishment very unpleasant.
I regret that I have no teeth
to offer your Bureau of Identification.
As for new evidence, yes, I fully expected the Federation
to come up with remarkable new evidence
in an attempt to free Mr. O'Brien.
I am sure your experts
can create all sorts of evidence
to confuse the issues.
That may work in your courts, but not here.
There will be no new evidence considered.
( bang )
Call the first witness!
Look, we're not after the Maquis.
We're just trying to help an innocent man.
And I'm telling you. I don't have
any idea what you're talking about.
People saw you talking to O'Brien
just before he left.
Well, since when is that a crime?
We're old friends from the Rutledge.
Doesn't it bother you
that an old friend is about to be executed
by the Cardassians?
Of course, it does.
I wish there was something I could do to help.
He has a wife and a five-year-old daughter.
If you're worried we'll turn you over
to the Cardassians, I can assure you that we won't.
Well, I haven't done anything.
I don't have anything to be worried about.
Hold him for further questioning.
Computer, lights.
( sigh of frustration )
Don't turn around, Doctor.
There's nothing here you could want.
You have a man in custody
suspected of arranging the theft
of photon warheads— Raymond Boone.
That's right.
I'm here to tell you he is not one of us.
"Not one of us"?
You're from the Maquis.
That's correct.
Why should I believe you?
We knew nothing about the theft
and this man is not one of us.
And that's all I can tell you.
How do I know
you're not just trying to protect him?
Who else would want photon...
warheads?
killers!
They live to terrorize
and murder innocent Cardassians
as evidenced by these weapons we confiscated from O'Brien's ship.
These Maquis are based in the Demilitarized Zone?
They are all from Federation settlements
inside Cardassian occupied territory.
Frankly, the situation is becoming untenable.
How many more innocent people must die
before the situation becomes clear?
How do you know these photon warheads
recovered from the offender's vessel
were intended for the Maquis?
According to reliable sources, the Maquis arranged the theft.
I object!
Madam Archon, please!
I thought we went over this yesterday, Mr. Odo.
What is it this time?
Gul Evek has tied the Maquis to this plot
by quoting reliable sources.
I think we deserve to know
who these reliable sources are.
Can you provide any details, Gul Evek?
I am afraid that information cannot be revealed
without risk to national security, Madam Archon.
That's an acceptable answer.
Might we know how Gul Evek
learned the warheads were in the runabout?
Yes, of course.
We learned about them from reliable sources.
MAKBAR: Are you satisfied, Nestor?
Madam Archon...
Enough! This is already the longest trial
in the history of Cardassia.
Let's try to speed things up, shall we?
Proceed, Mr. Kovat.
As you wish, Madam Archon.
I'll try to be as brief as possible.
What is this?
I'd like Dr. Bashir to give you
a physical examination.
What for?
To help us answer some questions about you.
What are you talking about?
For example, why you haven't spoken
to your parents in eight years.
What's that got to do with anything?
I never got along with them.
That's not what they told us.
You left your wife about eight years ago.
You'd been married a long time—
almost 15 years, wasn't it?
Look, this is none of your business.
And about the same time
you were discharged from Starfleet
after failing several crew performance reviews.
All of this seemed to happen
shortly after Setlik III.
BASHIR: Bring him over here.
Some romantic vacation I took you on, huh?
We'll have other chances.
Keiko, I don't want you to be there next week.
It isn't over yet.
Don't give them the satisfaction.
Miles, you can't just...
I mean it.
( gong sounds )
Court will resume.
The offender will
step forward and testify.
I have nothing to say to this court.
Under Cardassian law, you are compelled to testify.
Step forward.
This would be a good time
to advise the offender.
Advise him to do what?
To confess.
To throw himself on the mercy of the court, of course.
I never heard of a Cardassian court showing mercy.
That is not the point.
Think of the children, sir.
Allow them to see a glimmer of enlightenment.
As the offender realizes
that the end is near
let him use his last breath to show remorse.
Do you wish to advise the offender
at this time, Nestor?
No, Madam Archon.
Very well. Proceed, Mr. Kovat.
Mr. O'Brien
were you abused as a child?
What?
Were your parents
especially abusive?
Did you hate them very much?
I loved my parents.
I see.
Spousal abuse, perhaps?
Was your wife causing you
severe psychological stress?
My wife is the most wonderful
supportive person I've ever known.
Excuse me for asking.
I'm merely trying to establish
why a fine man like you could turn into a criminal.
Now, perhaps you could help me.
Sorry, no, I can't help, because I'm no criminal.
Well...
I tried.
MAKBAR: Tell me, Mr. O'Brien
how many Cardassians have you killed?
Killed?
None.
Since the war, that is.
Including the war
how many Cardassians have you killed?
Madam Archon, what relevance
does Mr. O'Brien's war experiences have?
His past criminal record
is very much relevant to these proceedings, sir.
Answer the question.
I'm not sure.
That many, eh?
It was war.
Both sides did things they had to do.
Tell me, Mr. O'Brien, now that we are at peace
do you have a warm place in your heart
for your Cardassian neighbors
or are you deeply prejudiced against Cardassians?
Do you not, in fact, hate Cardassians?
Have you not on several occasions
publicly stated your opposition to the treaty
because, and I quote
"The bloody Cardies can't be trusted"?
I decline to answer that.
There are no grounds
Answer the question.
Is it an accurate quote or not?
It is.
Madam Archon, at this time
it seems the offender's guilt has been clearly established
and I see no other alternative but to concede the verdict.
I do not concede!
You may stand down, Mr. O'Brien.
I am not guilty!
I've committed no crime
and I do not concede to this court
or the Cardassian Empire!
Madam Archon, I apologize
but I appear to have lost control of my client.
MAKBAR: No matter.
You've done your usual eloquent job on his behalf
Conservator Kovat.
Thank you, Madam Archon.
This has been a most difficult case
but it is always an honor to serve your court.
( door opens )
KOVAT: I object to this.
Madam Archon
how can you continue to tolerate these intrusions?
Return to your seat.
Once again
the Cardassian System of Jurisprudence
has worked to protect its people.
A guilty man has been brought to justice.
But never let it be said
that there is no room in this system for compassion.
I sense in Mr. O'Brien—
a man with strong family ties—
the potential for rehabilitation.
And I'm sure that he has gained
a new appreciation of Cardassian law
through this difficult process.
Therefore, I am pleased
in the spirit of furthering Cardassian-Federation relations
to hereby set aside the verdict and to release Mr. O'Brien
into the custody of his Commander
Benjamin Sisko.
( bang )
( stammering )
What happened?
What...
You won.
I...
They'll kill me.
KEIKO: Then the Maquis told you about Boone.
When Doctor Bashir examined him
he discovered that Boone was missing his first molar.
The DNA analysis confirmed that he was Cardassian.
He was surgically altered?
Eight years ago, to replace the real Raymond Boone
who was taken prisoner at Setlik III
and apparently killed in detention.
Well, how did you figure it out?
His ex-wife told us
he came back from captivity a different man.
She blamed it on the treatment he received
from the Cardassians, but it started us to thinking.
So, he was spying for the Cardassians
even when he was serving on the Rutledge with me?
But why would they want to frame Miles?
ODO: This trial was never
about your husband, Mrs. O'Brien.
It was designed from the beginning
to discredit the Federation—
to show that the Maquis had their official sanction.
Gul Evek's testimony made it clear
that the situation had become untenable.
Next, they would have been demanding
that the Federation colonies be disbanded.
Exactly.
When Makbar saw Boone in the courtroom
she realized that we had the goods to embarrass
the High Command in front of the entire populace.
Oh, I'm just glad it's all over.
I'm ready to get back to work.
SISKO: Oh, no, no, no.
I had to use all of my influence
to extend your accommodations at the lagoon.
We'll drop you off on our way home.
But we haven't any bags, no holo-cam.
I've nothing to read.
Perfect.
