DEEP SPACE NINE: "Shadows and... " - REV. 08/11/98 - ACT TWO 26. 31 WIDER to see just how scattered the group has become as they are dwarfed by the vastness of the desert surrounding them. Sisko is far ahead of Ezri, while Jake and Joseph bring up the rear, a football field behind him. 32 ON THE HOT SUN beating down relentlessly. DISSOLVE TO: 33 BACK TO SISKO still on the move. Without stopping, Sisko takes off his backpack, leaving only the shovel strapped around his shoulder. He reaches inside the pack and takes out his baseball, then tosses the pack away, getting rid of the extra weight. Gripping the ball in his hand, he continues his march. 34 ANGLE ON SISKO'S DISCARDED PACK Ezri's hand reaches into frame and picks it up. Ezri looks out toward Sisko. Clearly concerned by his behavior, she reaches into the pack and takes out the water pouches, stashing them away in her own pack. DISSOLVE TO: 35 NEW ANGLE to see Joseph and Jake, moving slowly up a sand dune. Having fallen far behind, there's no sign of Sisko or Ezri. As Jake and Joseph struggle up to the top of the dune. 36 JAKE AND JOSEPH'S POV of the desert stretched out before them, no end in sight.
