         DEEP SPACE: "The Maquis, II" - 02/17/94 - ACT THREE        31.

25   CONTINUED:	(3)

					SISKO
			Are you saying they blame you for 
			the withdrawal?

					DUKAT
			There are some who believe I should 
			have killed every last Bajoran when 
			I had the chance.
				(wistful)
			Ah, well.  Too late for that, I'm 
			afraid.  Commander, it seems I was...

					SISKO
				(suggesting)
			Mistaken about the arms shipment?

					DUKAT
			It appears I was misinformed.  I'm 
			beginning to believe the Central 
			Command is smuggling weapons into 
			the Demilitarized Zone after all.

					SISKO
			You really didn't know, did you?

					DUKAT
				(trying to put on a 
				good face)
			They never bothered to tell me.
				(a beat)
			If I help you stop the smuggling, 
			will you help me stop the Maquis?

	Sisko pauses.  He knows that would be like making a pact 
	with the devil, but it seems that he and Dukat are on the 
	same side for a change.

					SISKO
			You've got yourself a deal.  I've 
			called a staff meeting for oh-nine-
			hundred.

					DUKAT
			I'll be there.

	Sisko turns to leave.

					DUKAT
			Oh, and Commander?

	Sisko turns.
