DEEP SPACE NINE: "Prodigal... " - REV. 11/05/98 - ACT FOUR     49.

23   CONTINUED:	(2)
					O'BRIEN (Cont'd)
			He's experiencing sudden
			equipment "breakdowns," work
			stoppages, mysterious "accidents"
			-- it's the way the Syndicate
			extorts money from legitimate
			companies. "You do business with
			us or we'll ruin you."

					EZRI
			Janel is not someone who's easily
			intimidated. And my mother,
			she'd burn this place to the
			ground before she'd do business
			with the Syndicate.

	They think that over for a beat.

					O'BRIEN
			There's one way to find out. Do
			you have access to the company's
			financial records?

24   INT. TIGAN OFFICE - DAY

	O'Brien is working at the computer terminal while
	Ezri looks on. O'Brien reacts in surprise to what
	he sees.

					O'BRIEN
			I knew your family had some
			money, but I had no idea...

					EZRI
			We're rich, I know. It's my
			mother's doing. She built Tigan
			mining from the ground up...
			surveyed the planet, she even dug
			the first mining shaft.

					O'BRIEN
			You must be very proud of her.

					EZRI
			I am. She's a... remarkable
			woman.
