      DEEP SPACE: "The Die is Cast" - REV. 02/15/95 - ACT THREE     35.

24   CONTINUED:	(2)

					GARAK
			The Founders?  You want to go back 
			to the Founders?  I thought you turned 
			your back on them.

					ODO
			I did... but they're still my 
			people... I tried to deny it... tried 
			to forget... but I can't...
				(beat)
			I'm one of them... and I want to be 
			with them... in the Great Link.

	Garak looks at him for a moment... he's accomplished what he 
	had to do, but now he wishes he hadn't.

					GARAK
			I knew there was something... 
			something you were holding back...

	Odo is on the verge of losing consciousness.

					ODO
			And now you've found it... I hope 
			it's useful...

	Garak looks at him for a long moment... finally stands up, 
	moves to the device and deactivates it... He turns away from 
	Odo, giving him a moment of privacy.  Behind Garak, we 
	suddenly see Odo MORPHING into a liquid and then streaming 
	into the bucket.  Garak sits down in the chair, takes a deep 
	breath... then puts his head in his hand and closes his eyes 
	in a mixture of relief and guilt...
