DEEP SPACE NINE: "Time's Orphan" - REV. 4/15/98 - ACT FOUR     45.

70   CONTINUED:

					SISKO 
			We might be looking at a long-term 
			situation, yes.
				(trying to reassure him) 
			But it's the best facility of its kind.

					O'BRIEN
				(pleading) 
			Molly belongs with Keiko and me. 
			If she's going to make a 
			connection with anyone, it's going 
			to be us -- not some therapist she 
			doesn't even know.

					SISKO 
			I'm sorry. I wish there were 
			another way.

					O'BRIEN 
			Sir, please. Don't let them take 
			my little girl away.

	But there's nothing Sisko can do, his hands are tied. 
	Off O'Brien's face as he realizes he's going to lose 
	her...

71   INT. HOLDING CELLS (OPTICAL)

	An agitated Molly is pacing back and forth inside one 
	of the cells like a caged animal. O'Brien, Keiko and 
	Bashir are watching from outside. A DEPUTY stands off 
	to one side. Bashir is holding a TRICORDER toward 
	Molly, and he doesn't like the readings he's getting.

					BASHIR 
			Her system's flooded with 
			adrenalin.

	He turns to the O'Briens, concerned --

					BASHIR
			I'm not sure she can tolerate 
			being confined like this. It 
			could send her into shock.

	The O'Briens react to this disturbing possibility --

					BASHIR 
			We've got to find a way to calm 
			her down.

	O'Brien walks up to the cell door and watches her 
	tormented movement.
