DEEP SPACE NINE: "Hard Time" - REV. 2/05/96 - ACT FIVE       55.

82   CONTINUED: 

	-- An older Ee'char pulling out a stash of food to
	share with the older O'Brien.

	-- The older Ee'char struggles against a guard, who
	restrains him as a second guard clubs the older O'Brien
	with his baton.

	-- Ee'char showing O'Brien how to eat a strange
	Argrathi fruit.

	-- O'Brien pacing around the cell and talking (M.O.S.)
	to Ee'char.

									CUT TO:

83   INT. CARGO BAY

	Close on O'Brien as he reacts to the rush of memories.

					O'BRIEN
			He was my cellmate.

	Bashir reacts in surprise.

					BASHIR
			You told me you were alone in that
			cell. Twenty years with no one to
			talk to.

	O'Brien knows he can't lie anymore.

					O'BRIEN
			Only at the end. A week, maybe
			two. But the rest of the time...
			there was Ee'char.

					BASHIR
			What happened to him?

	O'Brien looks to Ee'char, who waits expectantly for the
	answer.

									CUT TO:

84   INT. ARGRATHI CELL 

	Ee'char watches as O'Brien draws an Eseeka. O'Brien's
	gotten pretty good at it. It's been twenty years since
	O'Brien's imprisonment, and both men look gaunt and
	worn down. O'Brien adds another line to the mandala,
	which is almost finished.
