      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Things Past" - REV. 10/04/96 - ACT FOUR     37.
                           ACT FOUR                             

	FADE IN:

48   INT. TEROK NOR - HOLDING CELL

	Odo, Sisko and Garak are in one of the holding cells. 
	The other cells are overflowing with Bajoran Prisoners 
	and there's a continuous babble of talk in the b.g. 
	Garak looks out at the other prisoners with a 
	disdainful eye, while Sisko is systematically checking 
	over the cell walls on the off chance that he'll find 
	a weakness. Odo is in a funk, staring down at the 
	floor, lost in his own despair.

					GARAK
			You'd think they'd put us in our own 
			cell block, instead of with 
			the common criminals. After all, 
			we're accused of attempting to 
			assassinate the station commander. 
			That deserves some respect.

					SISKO
			Maybe they'll salute when they 
			execute us.

	Thrax ENTERS the holding area, carrying a PADD and 
	accompanied by two Cardassian Guards. The Bajoran 
	prisoners immediately begin SHOUTING at him and trying 
	to get his attention.

					PRISONERS
				(overlapping)
			Please, listen to me!... I'm 
			innocent... can I get something 
			to eat... if I can get to an 
			advocate, I can explain... I 
			didn't steal anything... won't you 
			hear my story?... listen to me, 
			please... I wasn't there, I can 
			prove it... we need water... 
			listen to me... please, please... 
			etc.

					THRAX
				(over the din)
			Settle down! Quiet, quiet please!

	They quiet down and Thrax looks over his PADD.
