DEEP SPACE NINE: "Shattered Mirror" - REV. 2/15/96 - ACT FIVE   52.

71   CONTINUED:

					JAKE
				(urgently)
			She needs a doctor.

					KIRA
			I'm afraid it's too late... for 
			both of you.

	She points the disruptor at Jake, point blank. But 
	something troubles her, still aiming the weapon 
	directly at Jake, she asks:

					KIRA
			Just out of curiosity, why was she 
			protecting you?

	Jake, looking down at Jennifer.

					JAKE
				(more to Jennifer than 
				to Kira)
			She's... my mother.

					KIRA
				(surprised)
			Your mother?
				(then, putting it all
				together)
			You're Sisko's son. From the
			other side.

	His silence confirms her suspicions. She lowers 
	the gun.

					KIRA
			In that case, give your father a 
			message for me. Tell him I spared 
			your life... and that's a debt I 
			intend to collect.

	And with that, she hurries down the corridor, leaving 
	Jake to aid the gravely wounded Jennifer.

72   INT. DEFIANT - BRIDGE

	As before. The ship continues to take a pounding.

					O'BRIEN
				(off his console)
			Shields down to forty percent.
				(then more bad news)
			That cruiser has us in weapons' 
			range. Do we make a run for it?
