     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Apocalypse... " - REV. 07/19/96 - ACT FIVE    52.

					MARTOK
			But then... he changed. Suddenly 
			he was the one calling for war.

					O'BRIEN
			I'd think that would've made you 
			happy.

					MARTOK
			At first, it did. But after the 
			war began, he started ignoring the 
			counsel of his generals, throwing 
			aside all wisdom in his pursuit of 
			victory. Our losses continue to 
			mount, and still he listens to no 
			one.

					ODO
			No one but the Founders.

	Martok considers his options for a long beat, then...

					MARTOK
			There's only one certain way to 
			expose Gowron for what he really 
			is. To prove beyond a shadow 
			of a doubt that he is a changeling.
				(with finality)
			Gowron must die.

	Odo nods. It's a cruel logic, but it's true.

					ODO
			Once he's dead, he will revert to 
			his natural form and eliminate all 
			doubt.

					WORF
				(to Martok)
			You could challenge him to 
			honorable combat.

	Worf nods. He agrees. But Martok shakes his head. 
	He's not as idealistic as Worf.

					MARTOK
			There will be no honorable combat, 
			no formal challenges. I will 
			release you, help you reach the 
			Hall of Warriors, and then you 
			will kill him.

	Everyone reacts to Martok's decision.
