      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Things Past" - REV. 10/04/96 - ACT FIVE     59.

84   CONTINUED:

					ODO
			And just before the accident, I 
			was thinking about the executions. 
				(beat)
			Somehow being in the Link must 
			have forced me to relive it... to 
			admit the truth of what I'd done.

					BASHIR
			It would make a fascinating paper. 
				(off his look)
			But I don't intend to write one.

	Just then, the doors OPEN and KIRA ENTERS. She glances 
	at Bashir, but she's clearly here to see Odo. Odo 
	stands up behind the desk and Bashir picks up on the 
	instant tension in the room.

					BASHIR
			If you have any questions... you 
			know where to find me.

	Bashir EXITS, leaving Odo to face Kira alone. More 
	than just the desk is separating them now. There's a 
	touch of anger in Kira, but mostly disappointment and 
	pain, and a need to understand.

					KIRA
			When I finished reading your 
			report... I didn't know what to 
			think. So I said to myself, 
			"That's okay Nerys, you're just 
			stunned. You need to let this 
			sink in a little." 
				(beat)
			But it's been two days, Odo, and 
			I still don't know what to think.

					ODO
			I'm guilty. What more is there to 
			say?
