      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Things Past" - REV. 10/04/96 - ACT FIVE     57.


81   CONTINUED:

					ODO
				(a difficult admission)
			Yes. I was chief of security on 
			the Promenade. I was the one who 
			charged those men with a crime 
			they didn't commit... and I was 
			the one who turned them over to 
			Dukat.

	He turns and looks at the distant bodies of the 
	Bajorans.

					ODO
				(continuing)
			Three days after the executions, 
			there was another bombing on the 
			Promenade identical to the one 
			that almost killed Dukat. Timor,
			Ishan and Jillur were innocent.
				(beat)
			All the evidence was there... the 
			inconsistencies in the reports of
			the soldiers who arrested them... 
			a pattern of other bombings... the 
			ballistics... it was all there 
			from the beginning... but I was 
			too busy... too concerned about
			maintaining order... and the rule 
			of law.

	He turns back to our people.

					ODO
				(continuing)
			I thought of myself as the 
			outsider, the Shape-shifter who 
			cared only about justice. It 
			never occurred to me that I could 
			fail.
				(beat)
			But I did. And I've never wanted 
			anyone to know the truth... that 
			seven years ago, I allowed three 
			innocent men to die.

	A long silent beat as Odo faces his friends and the 
	truth. Finally, Sisko, Garak and Dax fade from view. 
	We stay on Odo a beat longer, as he closes his eyes...

					BASHIR (O.S.)
			Constable?

             82   INT. DEEP SPACE NINE - SURGERY - ON ODO              

	as he opens his eyes... He's on the bio-bed, blinking in 
	the light. He tries to sit up, but Bashir puts a hand 
	on his chest.
