DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Visitor" - REV. 08/08/95 - ACT THREE     32.

29   OMITTED

30   EXT. SPACE - RUNABOUT (OPTICAL) (PRESENT)

	as it pulls away from the station.

					OLD JAKE (V.O.) 
			There was nothing I could do. I 
			had to leave my home of five 
			years...

32   CLOSE ON JAKE (OPTICAL)

	REFLECTED in the glass of the runabout's rear window, 
	we see the station recede in the distance. Jake 
	watches, his features pensive.

					OLD JAKE (V.O.) 
			And give up whatever hope there 
			was of seeing my father again...

	Hold on Jake's still features for a long beat, then...

					MELANIE'S VOICE 
			I'm sorry...

									CUT TO:

33   INT. JAKE'S HOUSE (DISTANT FUTURE)

	Old Jake and Melanie as before.

					MELANIE 
			Did the Klingons ever contact 
			Starfleet to say that your father 
			had reappeared?

					OLD JAKE 
			No...

	A quiet beat, then...
