Trama

Data Stellare 51408.6: Sisko e Dukat si trovano intrappolati su un pianeta a causa del naufragio della Honshu, distrutta da un attacco dei Cardassiani mentre li trasportava alla base stellare 621.

47

• Quando Sisko tenta di riattivare la radio di emergenza, in un'inquadratura ravvicinata di profilo si vede un pannello con un'etichetta contrassegnata con 047.

Citazioni

Sisko: He lost an empire, he lost his daughter and he nearly lost his mind: whatever his crimes, isn't that enough punishment for one lifetime?

Kira: I'll tell you what I think! I think you're an evil, sadistic man who should have been tried as a war criminal years ago, put up against a wall and shot!!!

Sisko: You know, Old Man... sometime life seems so complicated. Nothing is truly good or truly evil. Everything seems to be a shade of grey. And then you spend some time with a man like Dukat... and you realize that there is such a thing as truly evil.
Dax: To realize that is one thing. To do something about it is another.

Script

• Questo è il brano tratto dallo script relativo alla scena con gli ordini che Kira impartisce alla Defiant e che l'equipaggio ha pensato bene di "non capire". Le parti tra parentesi quadre sono quelle incomprensibili durante la comunicazione.

               KIRA
       [The troop] convoy [will be
       completely unprotected] when they
       [emerge from] the plasma [fields.
       And they're under strict] radio
       silence. [There's no way they]
       can acknowledge our signal even
       [if I sent one. I'm] sorry, Worf,
       but [you've got to break off] your
       search and --
  
  The transmission breaks up completely.
