					GHEMOR
			This is my fault.  I never should've 
			let you go on that mission.  I 
			could've prevented it.  A well placed 
			word here, a favor from a friend 
			there... you never would've known.  
			But you were so determined to go... 
			so proud that you'd been chosen, 
			that I didn't have the heart to stop 
			you.
				(sad)
			Your mother never forgave me.

	Kira looks at Ghemor for a long beat, as if weighing what 
	he's said.

					KIRA
			You're good.  Really good.
				(off Ghemor's reaction)
			The house... the food... the 
			stories... It's all very convincing.
				(cold)
			But I don't believe a word of it.

	Kira starts to walk away.

					GHEMOR
			Iliana... I just want you to know... 
			I'm sorry.

	Kira doesn't respond, but EXITS toward Iliana's room.

40   CLOSE ON GHEMOR

	As he reacts, saddened by Kira's utter lack of belief.

41   EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL)

	As before.

42   INT. SECURITY OFFICE

	Garak is in the middle of being questioned by Sisko and Odo.  
	From the look of things, Sisko and Odo don't like his answers 
	any more than Garak likes being there.

					GARAK
			Commander, I've already told the 
			good doctor everything I know.
