DEEP SPACE NINE: "Favor the Bold" - REV. 9/5/97 - ACT TWO     22.

			Impossible. You can't release a 
			man and then execute him. It 
			makes no sense.

					KIRA
			Execute Rom?

					WEYOUN
			He committed an act of terrorism 
			against the Dominion. Not only 
			did he try to interfere with our 
			efforts to bring down the 
			minefield, but as I understand it, 
			he was also the diabolical genius 
			who came up with the idea of 
			self-replicating mines in the 
			first place. I'm afraid there's 
			no getting around it, Major. He 
			must be made an example so that 
			others think twice before they act 
			against us.

					KIRA
			Rom's married to a Bajoran 
			citizen...

					WEYOUN
			I'm well aware of that. And I'm 
			willing to believe -- for now -- 
			that his wife isn't a 
			co-conspirator. Otherwise, treaty 
			or no treaty, she would share his 
			fate. I'm sorry, major, but the
			Dominion takes a dim view of 
			terrorism.
				(with finality) 
			Your friend must pay the price for 
			his crime.

					KIRA 
			We'll see what the Bajoran 
			government says about that.

					WEYOUN
			I'm afraid their pleas will fall 
			on deaf ears.

	Kira heads for the door. Weyoun stops her --
