DEEP SPACE: "Tribunal" - REV. 04/11/94 - ACT FIVE         50.

55   CONTINUED:

					MAKBAR
				(hits her rock)
			Court will resume.

	A guard motions Keiko back to the defense area...

					MAKBAR
			The offender will step forward to 
			testify.

					O'BRIEN
			I have nothing to say to this court.

					MAKBAR
			Under Cardassian law, you are 
			compelled to testify.  Step forward.

	As the guard moves to escort him, O'Brien shrugs his arm 
	away and moves ahead alone...

56   ANGLE WITH KOVAT AND ODO

	The Cardassian lawyer leans in... sotto:

					KOVAT
			This would be a good time for you to 
			advise the offender.

					ODO
			Advise him to do what?

					KOVAT
			To confess and throw himself on the 
			mercy of the court, of course.

					ODO
			I've never heard of a Cardassian 
			court showing mercy.

					KOVAT
			That's not the point.  Think of the 
			children, sir.  Allow them to see a 
			glimmer of enlightenment as the 
			offender realizes the end is near.  
			Let him use his last breath to show 
			remorse...
