	FADE IN:

48   INT. GHEMOR'S QUARTERS

	Ghemor is asleep. Kira is quietly going through the 
	motions of caring for Ghemor, but something's changed. 
	The perennial look of concern that's been on her face 
	since this whole ordeal started has been replaced by a 
	stony mask. Right now she's mechanically replenishing 
	Ghemor's medication. (Sharp eyes may notice she's no 
	longer wearing the bracelet Ghemor gave her.)

					GHEMOR (O.S.)
				(a croak) 
			Nerys.

	Kira's already in a bad mood and doesn't want to deal 
	with Ghemor.

					KIRA
			I'll be right there.

	Kira keeps working for a beat, then there's a CRASHING 
	SOUND off screen.

49   NEW ANGLE

	To reveal Ghemor half off his bed, tangled in the 
	medical equipment. Some of the lines leading to his 
	arms have been pulled loose.

					KIRA
				(impatient)
			Now what?

					GHEMOR
			I was... thirsty.

	Kira realizes he was trying to reach the water pitcher, 
	which lies shattered on the floor.

					KIRA
				(angry)
			Just sit back...

	Kira tries to help Ghemor back onto the bed, but he's 
	snarled up in all the wires and lines which connect his 
	body to the med tech.

					KIRA
			You're all tangled up.

					GHEMOR
			I'm sorry.
