DEEP SPACE: "Improbable... " - REV. 01/25/95 - ACT TWO       22.

13   CONTINUED:

					O'BRIEN
			Everything's all set.  The 
			transponder is aboard the 
			Flaxian's ship.

					ODO
			You're sure he won't find it?

					O'BRIEN
			Not a chance, I hid it in his ship's 
			magneton relay.  You'll be able to 
			track him as long as you stay within 
			half a light year.
				(beat)
			Who do you think he's going to lead 
			you to?

					ODO
			If I knew that, I wouldn't have to 
			follow him...

	Odo moves away, leaving O'Brien to watch him go...

14   INT. RUNABOUT

	as the runabout door OPENS and Odo ENTERS.  He crosses into 
	the cockpit, stops short in surprise when he sees Garak 
	sitting in the co-pilot's seat, a SHOULDER PACK on the floor 
	nearby.

					GARAK
			I was wondering when you were going 
			to get here.  The Flaxian left two 
			minutes ago.  If we're going to follow 
			him, we're going to have to get 
			moving.

					ODO
			What makes you think I'm going to 
			follow him?

					GARAK
			Although Doctor Bashir may have been 
			convinced by your performance in 
			Quark's, I happen to know that you're 
			far too dogged an investigator to 
			let the only suspect in the case 
			just disappear.

					ODO
				(sarcastic)
			Congratulations, your powers of 
			deduction are truly astonishing...
