DEEP SPACE NINE: "Ties of Blood... " - REV. 2/14/97 - ACT FIVE   53.

61   CONTINUED:

					GANTT
				(grim)
			Nerys...

	Kira stops dead in her tracks.

					GANTT 
			Your father.

	Kira doesn't wait for the explanation. She moves past 
	Gantt to her father's bed.

62   NEW ANGLE

	Kira sees her father lying on the bed, dead, his 
	lifeless eyes staring up at the ceiling.

63   CLOSE ON KIRA 

	As she reacts to her father's death. We can tell she's 
	heartbroken, but she refuses to let herself cry. She 
	crouches down next to him.

	Gantt and Furel follow her into the room.

					GANTT
			He died calling your name.

	Kira nods, but there's nothing she can say. She 
	reaches out and closes her father's eyes, then removes 
	his earring. Furel tries to offer his sympathy.

					FUREL
			Nerys...

	But Kira shakes her head. She refuses to let herself 
	feel the pain of her loss. Instead she focuses on 
	revenge.

					KIRA
			Get another raiding party 
			together. I want to hit those 
			Cardassians again as soon as we 
			have a chance.

	Kira takes a shovel from a supply shelf and EXITS the cave.

 64   EXT. OUTSIDE THE BAJORAN RESISTANCE BASE - DAY 

	Kira begins digging a hole near a shriveled tree not 
	far from the base entrance. Furel follows her outside.
