DEEP SPACE NINE: "Tacking into... " - REV. 03/22/99 - ACT FIVE   54.

53   CONTINUED:

					DAMAR
			They've finished installing the
			dampening weapon.

					KIRA
			Then let's all get the hell out

			of here.

					RUSOT
			Not you.


					GARAK
				(phaser never
				wavering)
			I'm still here, Rusot.

					RUSOT
				(to Damar)
			Damar, shoot him. We can kill
			them both and keep the Breen
			weapon for ourselves. I believe
			in you, Damar. I know you're the
			right man to restore the Empire
			we loyally served. The Empire we
			loved. Together we can lead our
			people to greatness again!
				(beat)
			Just aim and fire.

53A  ON DAMAR (OPTICAL)

	As he decides what to do. He finally makes his
	choice and FIRES his phaser. There's an O.S. SOUND
	of a body hitting the floor.

53B  WIDER

	Revealing Rusot lying dead on the floor. Damar goes
	over to look down at him.

					DAMAR
			He was my friend. But his
			Cardassia is dead... and it won't
			be coming back.

	He and Kira exchange a silent look. She's grateful
	to hear those words, especially after their talk in
	the runabout.

					KIRA
				(to Garak)
			Flood all compartments with the
			gas.
