    DEEP SPACE NINE: "... Nor the... " - REV. 08/21/96 - ACT THREE    28.

40 ON JAKE

	as his pace intensifies... he has to get out of here, 
	it's all he can think about. He scrambles up a hill in 
	front of him, panting and out of breath, he reaches the 
	top, only to realize too late that the drop on the 
	other side is steeper than he thinks... his momentum 
	carries him forward, and he goes tumbling down the hill 
	into --

41 EXT. A DITCH

	as Jake skids down it and suddenly collides with 
	another body that we barely see... there's a glint of 
	steel, then a RIFLE BUTT swings into view and connects 
	with Jake's head... the impact of the blow sends Jake 
	sprawling into the dirt -- he lies there, stunned and 
	out of breath...

42 NEW ANGLE

	For the first time we see Jake's assailant, a badly 
	wounded Starfleet Lieutenant, his uniform soaked with 
	blood -- he's BURKE, a seasoned combat veteran of 
	about forty.

	He's lying on his side, the phaser rifle nearby, a 
	terrible wound in his abdomen completely debilitating 
	him -- hitting Jake with the rifle has left him lying 
	helpless, unable to move...

	For a moment, all either of them can do is lie there in 
	the dirt and stare at the other man. We see them 
	realize that the other is not the enemy, and they both 
	lie there, fighting for breath. The shelling in the 
	distance has stopped.

					BURKE
				(through the pain)
			Medkit...

	Jake doesn't respond, still too disoriented, still 
	stunned by the blow to his head...

					BURKE 
			Over there...

	He does his best to point toward a MEDKIT lying on the 
	ground a few yards away. When Jake doesn't react, he 
	orders him through clenched teeth --

					BURKE
			Now.
