DEEP- I SPACE NINE: "Indiscretion" - REV. 08/23/95 - ACT FOUR  44A.

					DUKAT 
			You're right. I should have. But 
			I made a mistake. A mistake I 
			intend to correct.

					KIRA
			You don't have to bring her back 
			to Cardassia with you. Let me 
			take her to Bajor. No one has to 
			know you're her father.

	Dukat stops walking.

					DUKAT 
			And what kind of life would that 
			be for her? Your people have 
			never exactly welcomed half-
			Cardassian children into your 
			society.
				(a beat) 
			That's why I sent her and her 
			mother away in the first place. 
			I knew the Occupation was ending, 
			and that there'd be no place for 
			them on Bajor... or Cardassia.

					KIRA
			So you sent them to a prison camp.

					DUKAT
				(angry) 
			They weren't headed for a prison 
			camp. The Ravinok was supposed to  
			rendezvous with a freighter which  
			was to take Naprem and Ziyal to  
			Lissepia, where they could live  
			out their lives in peace.

					KIRA
			I don't understand. If you cared  
			enough to help Ziyal then, how  
			could you be thinking about  
			killing her now? Why not send her  
			away again?

					DUKAT  
			Because times have changed. My  
			position isn't nearly as stable as  
			it once was. By aligning myself  
			with the new civilian government,  
			I've made many enemies, enemies  
			who wouldn't hesitate to use Ziyal  
			against me.
