DEEP SPACE NINE: "Paradise Lost" - REV. 11/14/95 - ACT FIVE    52.

49   CONTINUED:

					SISKO
			What's your status, Mister Worf?

					WORF
				(on monitor)
			The Lakota has powered down its
			weapons and is allowing us to
			proceed to Earth.

	Sisko looks over at Leyton, who is surprised and
	disappointed. He thought he could count on Benteen.

					SISKO
			Casualties?

					WORF
				(on monitor)
			Bartlett and Ramsey are dead, sir.
			Seven more seriously injured.
			Captain Benteen thinks there may
			have been as many as two dozen
			casualties on the Lakota.

	Sisko absorbs these sobering figures.

					SISKO
			Get here as soon as you can. The
			President's expecting you.

					WORF
			Aye, sir.

	Worf's image on the monitor is replaced by a Starfleet
	insignia.

50   CLOSE ON LEYTON AND SISKO

	Leyton hasn't completely given up yet.

					LEYTON
			That was a mistake, Ben... talking
			to your ship from my office. Now
			that security knows you're here,
			you'll never make it past that
			door.

	Leyton nods toward the door to his office.

					SISKO
			It doesn't matter whether I make
			it out of here or not.
