DEEP SPACE NINE: "Honor... " - REV. 12/17/-97 - ACT THREE      37.

23   CONTINUED:

	A quiet moment passes... O'Brien brings up something 
	that's been on his mind.

					O'BRIEN 
			Bilby witnessed for me.

					CHADWICK 
				(pleased) 
			Sounds like you've really got your 
			hooks in him.

	But O'Brien can't seem to share Chadwick's enthusiasm --

					O'BRIEN 
			What's going to happen to him when 
			you pull me out?

	Chadwick realizes what's on his mind...

					CHADWICK 
			That's nothing you need to think 
			about.

					O'BRIEN
			They're going to kill him, aren't 
			they?

					CHADWICK 
			Listen to me. Bilby chose this 
			life. Whatever happens to him is 
			his fault, not yours.

	Chadwick can see that O'Brien isn't entirely convinced 
	of this. He decides to handle O'Brien -- he knows what 
	he's going through, and it's his job to make sure he 
	sees it through to the end.

					CHADWICK 
			Besides, if he's lucky we'll get 
			to him before they do. He'll be 
			safe in a Federation prison. 
				(reassuring him) 
			Just help us make a good case 
			against him.
