DEEP SPACE NINE: "Ties of Blood... " - REV. 2/14/97 - ACT FIVE 56.
71 CONTINUED:
BASHIR
But it never is.
Kira's a little numb from everything she's been
through, but she obviously needs to get something off
her chest.
KIRA
He got so quiet, toward the end.
I could hear him whispering
things... His wife's name...
Iliana's... even mine. But then
the pain got to be too much for
him. He just... lay there...
breathing. And every time he
exhaled... there was a little
pause. And I thought, "That's it.
It's over." But then he'd force
another breath. And another. I
started counting them. One
hundred... two hundred... three
hundred... It was like he was
fighting for every last second.
(a beat)
I'm not even sure he knew I was
there.
BASHIR
He knew. You gave him what he
needed. He didn't die alone.
KIRA
Maybe he gave me something I
needed, too.
Kira tries to gather herself together, but she's
hurting pretty bad.
KIRA
I missed my father's death by less
than an hour... did you know that?
Less than an hour.
(a beat)
I always told myself that it was
just bad luck... bad timing... the
will of the Prophets. But the
truth is... I didn't have to leave
when I did. I could have stayed
a while longer. But I saw a
chance to get away, and I took it.
(a hard admission)
I saw so much death during the
Occupation... felt so much pain.
But he was my father. My
strength. And I couldn't stand
watching that strength slip away.
