1    EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL)

	Establishing.

2    INT. ODO'S QUARTERS

	At the moment, Odo's Quarters are in a state of 
	transition. The humanoid style furniture (bed, chairs, 
	etc.) have been pushed off to the side, waiting to be 
	sent back to storage. Odo's changeling paraphernalia 
	(the jungle gym, the sculptures, the various surfaces) 
	are in piles in the middle of the room, waiting to be 
	reassembled.

	Odo surveys the jumbled furniture as KIRA ENTERS from 
	the corridor with another armful of Odo's old 
	changeling accoutrements.

					KIRA
			Where do you want me to put this?

					ODO
			Wherever you can find room.

	Kira puts down the box of stuff next to a pile of 
	furniture and other junk.

					KIRA
			I bet you can't wait to get all 
			this put together so you can start 
			shape-shifting around the room 
			again.

					ODO
			I suppose. Though I did enjoy 
			sleeping in a bed.


					KIRA
			Nothing's stopping you from 
			sleeping in a bed if you want to.

					ODO
			Except that now when I'm asleep I 
			have a tendency to revert to my 
			gelatinous state and slide onto 
			the floor.

    DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - TEASER    2.

2    CONTINUED:

					ODO (Cont'd)
				(his decision is final)
			The bed goes. I'm a changeling, 
			not a solid. No sense in 
			pretending otherwise.

	Kira looks at the remains of Odo's humanoid lifestyle.

					KIRA
			Then I guess we can send all this 
			to storage.

	Kira picks up some PADDS that are lying in the pile.


					KIRA

			What about these PADDS?


	Before Odo can answer, the title of one of the PADDS 
	catches Kira's eye.

					KIRA
				(reading it)
			Finding and Winning your Perfect 
			Mate by Doctor Jennings Rain?

					ODO
			I'll take that.

	Kira gives Odo the PADD, but they're both clearly a 
	little embarrassed and uncomfortable.

					ODO
				(feels he owes her an 
				explanation)
			I thought I was going to be a 
			humanoid for the rest of my life, 
			and... there were things...

					KIRA
			You don't have to explain, Odo.

					ODO
			I only read the first three 
			chapters.

					KIRA
			Maybe you should finish it.

					ODO
			Why waste my time? Romance is for 
			solids.

    DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - TEASER    3.

2    CONTINUED:	(2)

					KIRA
			You are solid... at least eighteen 
			hours a day. I'm sure there're 
			plenty of woman on this station 
			who'd be interested in you if you 
			gave them half a chance.

	Odo's growing increasingly uncomfortable with the 
	direction of this conversation.

					ODO
			I'll keep that in mind, major.
				(changing the subject)
			Right now I'd be satisfied just 
			getting this room in order.

	But before they can get back to work, the COM line 
	activates.

					DAX'S COM VOICE
			Dax to Kira and Odo.

					ODO
			Yes, commander.

					DAX'S COM VOICE
			There's something we'd like you to 
			look at in ops.

					KIRA
			On our way.

	She EXITS. Odo looks at the PADD, which is still in
	his hands, sighs, like it's a problem he will
	eventually have to deal with, and puts it aside with
	the things he's keeping. He EXITS.


3    INT. OPS

	Kira and Odo ENTER to find SISKO and DAX at Dax's 
	station, looking at a readout.

					SISKO
 				(to Kira and Odo)
			One of our listening posts in the 
			Gamma Quadrant picked this up a 
			few minutes ago.

	Kira and Odo join them at Dax's station.

    DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - TEASER    4.

4    NEW ANGLE

	To include the display, which shows a random assortment 
	of binary code. Running below the binary numbers is a 
	string of Cardassian symbols.

					DAX
			It looks like a Cardassian 
			military code, but the computer 
			doesn't recognize it.

	Kira and Odo both study it for a second.

					KIRA
			It's Cardassian all right. But I
			didn't think there were any 
			Cardassians in the Gamma Quadrant.

					SISKO
			None that we know of.

	Odo punches in a few commands. The stream of numbers 
	and symbols doesn't change. Odo tries again, without 
	success. He looks frustrated.

					ODO
			It's not Elgol-red. Or Fifth 
			Order Military Encryption.

					KIRA
			Try Courier Code Five-Nine.

	Odo punches in the commands. Still nothing.

					ODO
			Strange. Most Cardassian codes 
			use a recursive encryption 
			algorithm, but this has a 
			completely different coding 
			system.

					KIRA
			Bajoran Intelligence has had 
			plenty of experience breaking 
			Cardassian codes. Maybe we should 
			send it to them.

					DAX
			We did. As soon as it came in. 
			We still haven't heard from them.

					ODO
			It might take some time.

    DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - TEASER   4A.

4    CONTINUED:

					SISKO
			How much time? If someone's 
			sending coded Cardassian messages 
			from the Gamma Quadrant, I want to 
			know what they're saying. Now.

	Odo knows there's another option although he's 
	reluctant to use it.

					ODO
			We do have an expert in Cardassian 
			codes living on the station.

	Sisko nods. He's not excited by his options either.

					SISKO
			Dax, get me Mister Garak.

    DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - TEASER    5.

4A EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL)

	Establishing.

5    INT. REPLIMAT


	GARAK sits down at a table, joining BASHIR and ZIYAL 
	(Gul Dukat's half-Bajoran daughter). He seems very 
	pleased with himself.

					GARAK
			Sorry for the interruption.

					ZIYAL
			How did it go?

					GARAK
			I'm afraid I disappointed them. 
			I think they were hoping that 
			message they picked up would 
			contain the key to defeating the 
			Dominion. You should've seen the 
			looks on their faces when I told 
			them it was a five-year old 
			planetary survey report.

					BASHIR
				(surprised)
			A planetary survey report.

					GARAK
			That's the look exactly.

					BASHIR
			I'd've thought you'd be a little 
			disappointed, too.
				(off Garak's questioning
				look)
			It could have been sent by
			survivors from the Cardassian
			fleet that was lost in the Gamma
			Quadrant.

					GARAK
				(dismissive)
			Oh, I've given up hope of ever 
			finding any trace of them.

					ZIYAL
			Really? I never saw you as the 
			giving up type.

	From Bashir's expression, neither has he.

 DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - TEASER 5A-6.   

5    CONTINUED:

					GARAK
				(to Ziyal)
			There comes a time when you have 
			to face reality, my dear. Those 
			people are gone and they're never 
			coming back.
				(a beat)
			Well, my young friends, I could 
			sit here and chat all day, but I 
			have dresses to make, pants to 
			mend... It's a full life, if a 
			trifle... banal.

	Garak gets up to take his leave.

					GARAK
			Tell Captain Sisko I'd be happy to 
			decode any Cardassian laundry 
			lists that come across his desk.

	Ziyal holds out her hand to Garak, who presses his palm 
	against hers. It's the Cardassian equivalent of a kiss 
	on the cheek.

					GARAK
			My dear.

	He EXITS.

6    CLOSE ON BASHIR AND ZIYAL

	As they watch him go. Bashir looks thoughtful, as if 
	not totally satisfied by his conversation with Garak.

    DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - TEASER    7.

6    CONTINUED:

					ZIYAL
			My father would be furious if he 
			heard me say this, but there's 
			something about Garak that I find 
			fascinating.

					BASHIR
			He has his moments.

									CUT TO:

7    INT. AIRLOCK CORRIDOR

	Garak, carrying a duffel bag and dressed to travel, 
	walks briskly toward the airlock, a man on a definite 
	mission. Looking both ways to see that the coast is 
	clear, he hits the airlock control and ENTERS...

8    INT. AIRLOCK

	Garak walks quickly to the door of a runabout which is 
	docked at the end of the airlock. He takes a device 
	out of his coat pocket and places it over the keypad. 
	He punches in a code, the device lights up, and there's 
	the sound of the runabout door unlocking.

	Garak smiles, removes the device and the runabout door 
	opens.

9    INT. RUNABOUT

	Garak comes in and heads for the cockpit, only to find 
	Bashir sitting in the pilot's seat, aiming a phaser at 
	him.

					BASHIR
			Going somewhere?

	And as Garak reacts to this unexpected development, 
	we...

									FADE OUT.

	(NOTE: Episode credits fall over opening scenes)

10   INT. RUNABOUT

	As before. Bashir still has his phaser trained on 
	Garak.

					GARAK
			Doctor, I really must remember to 
			stop underestimating you. How did 
			you know?

					BASHIR
			You mean that you were lying about 
			the contents of the message?
				(smiles)
			You said you'd given up on finding 
			Cardassian survivors in the Gamma 
			Quadrant. But Ziyal's right. 
			You're not the giving up sort.

	Garak smiles. Bashir has him there.

					GARAK
			Very good, doctor. You've come a 
			long way from the naive young man 
			I met five years ago. You've 
			become distrustful and suspicious. 
			It suits you.

					BASHIR
			I had a good teacher.
				(a beat)
			what did the message really say?

					GARAK
			It was a call for help. From 
			Enabran Tain.

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT ONE    9.

10   CONTINUED: 

	Bashir looks surprised.

					BASHIR
			Tain? But you told me you saw the 
			Dominion blow up his ship.

					GARAK
			I did. But Enabran Tain was the 
			head of the Obsidian order for 
			twenty years. If he survived 
			that, he can survive anything.

				(a beat)
			I have to find him, doctor. I owe 
			it to him.

					BASHIR
			You don't owe Tain anything. He 
			had you exiled from Cardassia.

					GARAK
			Yes, but aside from that, we were 
			very close. He was... my mentor. 
			And I'm not going to turn my back 
			on him.
				(a beat)
			If it'll make you feel better, 
			come with me. All you have to do 
			is make up some excuse for taking 
			the runabout and we could leave 
			immediately.

	Bashir thinks it over.

					BASHIR
			Let me get this straight. You're 
			asking me to lie to my commanding 
			officer, violate Starfleet 
			regulations, and go off with you 
			on a mission that will probably 
			get us both killed?

					GARAK
				(takes a seat)
			I'm ready when you are.

					BASHIR
			In that case, let's go...
				(raises the phaser)
			to Captain's Sisko's office.

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT ONE   10.

10   CONTINUED:	(2)

	Now Garak does look disappointed.

11   INT. CAPTAIN'S OFFICE

	Sisko's just heard Bashir and Garak's story and is 
	thinking it over.

					SISKO
			How do you know the message isn't 
			a fake? That it was really sent 
			by Tain?

					GARAK
			The code sequence was personally 
			designed by Tain and myself. No 
			one else knows it. Somehow he got 
			that message out. Now I have to 
			follow it back to its source.

					SISKO
			Did the message contain any 
			coordinates?

					GARAK
			No. Most of it was identification 
			code. The rest was just one
			word... "alive," repeated over 
			and over again. So it should be 
			easy enough to triangulate the source.
				(a beat)
			Captain, Tain might not be alone. 
			There could be others. Troops 
			from the Cardassian/Romulan fleet, 
			survivors from the Dominion attack 
			on New Bajor, even crewmen from 
			the Federation ships that've 
			disappeared in the Gamma Quadrant.
			This is a mission of mercy. You 
			can't ignore it.

	Sisko thinks this over.

					SISKO
			I'm still not totally convinced 
			the message is genuine.
				(comes to decision)
			But I suppose there's only one way 
			to find out.

	Bashir knows what Sisko's thinking and doesn't like it.

    DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT ONE     

11   CONTINUED:

					BASHIR
			Captain, you can't let him go. 
			It is too dangerous.

					GARAK
			Your concern is touching, Doctor. 
			But I assure you, I can take care 
			of myself.


					SISKO
			Maybe you can. But you're still 
			not going alone.

	Garak turns to Bashir and smiles.

					GARAK
			Doctor, I think you've just 
			volunteered.

					SISKO
			Doctor Bashir isn't going 
			anywhere. I have someone else in 
			mind.

And off Bashir and Garak's surprised reaction, we...

12   EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL)

	Close on the Defiant in port.

13   INT. DEFIANT - WORF'S QUARTERS

	On WORF, who's sharpening his mek'leth. Dax is pacing 
	around the cabin, clearly not happy with Worf.

					DAX
			I don't know what makes me more 
			angry... that you agreed to go 
			into the Gamma Quadrant with 
			Garak... or that I had to find it 
			out from Sisko.

					WORF
			I was going to tell you.

					DAX
			When? On your way out the airlock?

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT ONE   12.

13   CONTINUED:

					WORF
			A Klingon warrior does not have to 
			explain why he chooses to face 
			danger. Not even to his par'machkai.

					DAX
			So in other words, you were afraid 
			I'd make a scene. That I'd 
			embarrass you. Maybe even cry.


					WORF
			You are capable of anything.

					DAX
			Don't worry, Worf. I won't be 
			shedding any tears over you.

					WORF
				(hopeful)
			Then you came to wish me a good 
			death in battle?

					DAX
			No. I came for...

	Dax looks around, opens a drawer at the desk, and takes 
	out a case of isolinear rods.

					DAX
			These.

					WORF
			My Klingon operas?

					DAX
			You're not going to be using them 
			for the next few days. Someone 
			might as well enjoy them.

	Worf doesn't look happy.

					DAX
			What? Something wrong?

					WORF
			You have a tendency to misplace 
			things.

					DAX
			And you're afraid I'm going to 
			lose your precious operas?

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT ONE   13.

13   CONTINUED:	(2)

					WORF
			Yes.

					DAX
			It's a distinct possibility. So 
			if I were you, I'd hurry back. 
				(smiles)
			That is, if you want to keep your 
			collection intact.

	Dax leans over and gives Worf a fierce kiss good-bye.

					DAX
			Have a glorious death. Or don't. 
			It's up to you.


	She EXITS. We hold on Worf, and a smile of admiration 
	crosses his face. She's a good woman.

16   INT. QUARK'S

	Garak and Ziyal are seated on the second level. Ziyal 
	is worried.

					ZIYAL
			The Gamma Quadrant? You can't go 
			to the Gamma Quadrant.

					GARAK
			I can. And I will. I have to.

	This doesn't make Ziyal feel any better.

					ZIYAL
			But if something were to happen to 
			you, I don't know what I'd do.

					GARAK
			Oh, I'm sure you could find 
			someone else to eat your meals 
			with. Not that you'll have to. 
			I fully intend to return.

			It's not just the meals.

					GARAK
			I know. I'm the only other 
			Cardassian on the station.

					ZIYAL
			It's not that, either. And you 
			know it. It's just that you're 
			intelligent and cultured... and 
			kind.

					GARAK
			My dear, you're young, so I 
			realize you're a poor judge of 
			character.

16   CONTINUED:

					ZIYAL
			Why do you always make fun of my 
			feelings for you?

					GARAK
			Perhaps because I find them a 
			touch... misguided.

					ZIYAL
				(hurt)
			If that's what you think, why do 
			you spend so much time with me?

	Garak sighs. He's not used to talking about his real 
	feelings about anything, but he really doesn't have the 
	heart to lie to this girl.

					GARAK
			Because I'm exiled, alone and a 
			long way from home. And when I'm 
			with you... it doesn't seem so 
			bad.

					ZIYAL
			I'm glad I can help.

	Garak is touched by her concern.

					GARAK
			Ziyal, no matter what happens, no 
			matter how bleak things might 
			look, I promise you, I will come 
			back. I give you my word.

	Ziyal smiles. She reaches out and covers his hand with 
	hers.

					ZIYAL
			I believe you.

					DUKAT (O.S.)
			Take your hands off her.


	Garak and Ziyal turn in their seats, but before Garak 
	can even see what's happening...

17   NEW ANGLE

	He's lifted out of his seat and shoved against the 
	second floor railing by Gul DUKAT. Dukat pushes Garak 
	back so he's bent over the railing and grabs him by the

	and EXITS.

18   CLOSE ON ZIYAL AND DUKAT

	As Dukat looks down at his daughter with very mixed 
	emotions.

					ZIYAL
			You're wrong about Garak, Father. 
			He's a good man.

					DUKAT
			You have no idea how it pains me 
			to hear you say that.
				(a beat)
			It's good to see you again, Ziyal.

					ZIYAL
			It's good to see you, too, Father.

	She hugs him.

					ZIYAL
			But what are you doing on the 
			station?

					DUKAT
			I had a skirmish with a Klingon 
			battle cruiser. My ship was 
			damaged, so I came here for 
			repairs... and to spend some time 
			with you.
				(re: Garak)
			I can see we have a lot to talk

			What about Garak?

					SISKO
			I'd like him back, too.

			At the first sign of betrayal, I

	reaction. Worf looks up in disbelief.

					WORF
			You want me to sponsor your
			application to Starfleet Academy?

					GARAK
			What do you think?

					WORF
			I think it's a bad idea.

					GARAK
			I'd write the actual letter. All
			you'd have to do is sign it.

	Worf hands the PADD back to Garak.

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT TWO   22.

23   CONTINUED:

					WORF
			Find someone else.

					GARAK
			Why? Because I'm a Cardassian? 
			You're a Klingon... Nog is a 
			Ferengi. Starfleet Academy is a 
			very accepting place.

					WORF
				(disgusted)
			You are not just a Cardassian. 
			You are a spy. An assassin. A 
			saboteur.


	These words hit home to Garak. He looks both 
	embarrassed and hurt by the carnage he's caused.

					GARAK
			I know I've done some unfortunate 
			things in the past. And I regret 
			them. That's why I want to join 
			Starfleet. Why I need to join 
			Starfleet. I'm looking for a 
			fresh start... a way to make up 
			for all the damage I've done. To 
			prove to myself that I can be 
			better than I am. But I need your 
			help... your support to start me
			on my way... to redemption.

	Worf feels like he's on the spot. His instincts tell
	him to say no, but his Federation training requires 
	that he at least consider Garak's request.

					WORF
			If that's how you feel, I will... 
			consider your request.

					GARAK
			That's all I ask.
				(a beat)
			Personally, I think I could be 
			quite an asset to Starfleet. With 
			my extensive experience I should 
			be able to skip the lower ranks 
			entirely and begin my career as a 
			Commander. Maybe you should 
			suggest that in your letter... 
			tell them you'd be honored to 
			serve under me.

	Worf realizes this is all an elaborate joke on Garak's 
	part. He grabs Garak by the collar.

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT TWO   23.

23   CONTINUED:	(2)

					WORF
			Do not play games with me. You

	Garak smiles, ending his little charade.

					GARAK
			No. I'm afraid I don't.


	Worf pushes Garak away.

					WORF
			Then what is the point of this 
			deception?

					GARAK
			Lying is a skill like any other. 
			If you want to maintain a level of 
			excellence, you have to practice 
			constantly.

					WORF
			Practice on someone else.

					GARAK
			Mister Worf, you are no fun at all.

			I left my daughter in your care. 
			You promised me you would look

			Listen, if this is about taking

			shrine...

 					DUKAT
			I'm not talking about exposing her

			She's half-Bajoran. That's part

					KIRA
			What about him?

	This gets Dukat even more upset.

					DUKAT

			She's in love with him.

	Kira knows what Dukat's upset about, but she thinks

					KIRA 
			I wouldn't call it love.

					DUKAT
				(pouncing)
			So you knew about it all along, 
			and you've done nothing to stop 
			it.

					KIRA
			Dukat, she was lonely. And the

					DUKAT
			The man is a heartless, cold-

			Like I said, he's a Cardassian.
				(a beat)

			Your daughter is a grown woman, 
			capable of making her own

			of Garak. I may even think their 
			friendship is a mistake... but the 
			way I see it, that's her prerogative.


					DUKAT
			You did this on purpose, didn't 
			you?

					KIRA
			Did what?

					DUKAT
			Allowed my daughter to associate 
			with a man you knew was my enemy. 
			Stood by while he whispered poison 
			in her ear. And all under the 
			guise of doing me a favor.

					KIRA
			Let's get one thing straight, 
			Dukat. I didn't bring Ziyal to 
			the station for you. I did it for 
			her. I knew she'd be a lot better 
			off here than as a soldier 
			fighting in your private little 
			war with the Klingons.

	But Dukat will hear none of it.


					DUKAT
			Save your excuses, major. You've 
			betrayed me. And I promise I 
			won't forget it.

					KIRA

				(sarcastic)
			If that's a threat, I'm not

			My readings show that the source

					GARAK
			Believe me, I have no desire to 
			take an "unnecessary risk."
				(checking his panel)
			But according to our sensors, 
			there's no sign of Jem'Hadar

					WORF
			True. But the likelihood of

					GARAK
			But we've come all this way. To 
			turn around without an answer... 
			it seems so...
				(searches for the right

			Un-Klingon.

					WORF
			I am also a Starfleet officer.

	Garak studies the starchart, desperately looking for a 
	compromise.

					GARAK
			What if we go through this nebula? 
			We could use it to avoid detection 
			and get light years closer to the

			the Sarajevo... Starfleet ships

			It's the Defiant.

					DAX
			We're being hailed.

					SISKO

			Put her through.

	The image on the viewscreen changes to show Kira in the 
	Captain's Seat of the Defiant.

					SISKO
			Major, what did you find?

					KIRA
			Trouble.

	And as they absorb this...

48C   INT. PROMENADE

	Ziyal exits the Bajoran Shrine and finds Dukat is 
	waiting for her outside. If she's embarrassed to be 
	caught coming out of the Bajoran Shrine, she doesn't 
	show it.

					ZIYAL
			Father... have you been waiting 
			long?

					DUKAT
			Not long.

					ZIYAL
			You should have come into the 
			Shrine.

					DUKAT
			I don't think so.

					ZIYAL
			So where would you like to go for 
			dinner?

 					DUKAT
			Forget about dinner. I want you 
			to go to your quarters and pack
			your things.

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT FOUR 37A.

48C   CONTINUED:

					DUKAT (Cont'd)
			There's a ship leaving for 
			Cardassia in the morning. I want 
			you on it.

					ZIYAL
			You're sending me to Cardassia?

	Dukat takes her aside. He doesn't want what he's going 
	to say to her to be overheard.

					DUKAT
			I've just learned that there's a 
			Dominion fleet headed for the 
			wormhole. This place isn't safe 
			anymore.

	Ziyal looks troubled.

					ZIYAL
			Father, I'm not sure I...

	Dukat cuts her off.

					DUKAT
			Ziyal, there's nothing to discuss. 
				(smiles benevolently)
			I'm not going to let any harm come 
			to you. Now, I think you'd better 
			get ready to leave.

	Dukat EXITS, leaving Ziyal not sure what to do next.

49   EXT. SPACE (OPTICAL)

	On the asteroid which houses the Dominion Internment 
	Center.

50   EXT. DOMINION INTERNMENT CENTER - NIGHT

	Worf and Garak emerge from one of a number of small 
	buildings sheltered by the dome. They've just been 
	processed and are escorted to Ikat'ika by another 
	Jem'Hadar Guard.

					JEM'HADAR GUARD
			They have been scanned. They have 
			no weapons and their identities 
			have been confirmed.

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT FOUR 37B.

50   CONTINUED:

					IKAT'IKA
			Very well.
				(to Worf and Garak)
			You will be sheltered in barracks 
			six. You are free to move about 
			the compound. But remember... 
			beyond the atmospheric dome 
			there's nothing but airless vacuum 
			and barren rock. Leave the dome, 
			even for an instant, and you die.

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT FOUR  38.

50   CONTINUED:	(2)

						GARAK
			We'll keep that in mind.

	Ikat'ika studies Worf for a beat.

					IKAT'IKA
			I've been waiting for another
			Klingon.

	Ikat'ika walks away.

51   CLOSE ON GARAK AND WORF

	As they react to Ikat'ika. The Jem'Hadar guard prods 
	them with his rifle and they follow.

52   CLOSE ON WORF

	As he follows Ikat'ika. He hears shouting coming from 
	the other side of one of the buildings.

53   NEW ANGLE

	As they round the corner and enter a large clear space 
	in the center of the compound (where Worf and Garak 
	beamed in the first place). Right now, the area 
	contains a half dozen Jem'Hadar soldiers watching two 
	battling combatants. It's a Jem'Hadar fighting a 
	Klingon. The fighting area is a circle with two posts. 
	Whenever one of the combatants is knocked down, he must 
	touch one of the posts or forfeit the fight.

	Worf and Garak step closer. It's clear that the 
	Klingon is losing. The Klingon falls to his knees. 
	And as he tries to struggle to his feet, he looks up 
	and into Worf's eyes. Worf recognizes him instantly.

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT FOUR  39.

53   CONTINUED:

					WORF
			General Martok.

	The recognition doesn't seem to be mutual. GENERAL 
	MARTOK is missing one eye and looks much the worse for 
	wear. He barely manages to touch a post to stay in the 
	fight when his Jem'Hadar opponent launches into him, 
	hitting him with a vicious punch/kick combination. 
	Martok is laid out and no matter how hard he tries, he 
	can't get back to his feet. The Jem'Hadar starts to go 
	for Martok, but Ikat'ika holds up a hand.

					IKAT'IKA
			Enough. It's over.

	The Jem'Hadar combatant nods in acknowledgement and he 
	and the other soldiers disperse. Ikat'ika turns to 
	Worf.

					IKAT'IKA
			But for you, it's just beginning.

	With that, Ikat'ika follows his soldiers as they walk 
	away.

	As Worf and Garak go to Martok's aid. Worf bends down 
	to check on the battered Klingon.

					WORF
			General...

	A weary Martok, beaten but unbowed, slowly sits up in 
	the dirt.

					MARTOK
			Do I know you?

					WORF
			I am Worf, son of Mogh.

					MARTOK
			I've heard of you.

					GARAK,
			How long have you been here?

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT FOUR  40.

56   CONTINUED:

					MARTOK
				(bitter)
			Two years.

	Martok struggles back to his feet. He's limping badly 
	and can't quite hold himself erect.

					GARAK
			Aren't you Klingons supposed to
			kill yourselves when you're taken 
			prisoner?

	Worf reacts even sooner than Martok.

					WORF
			Not when there are enemies to 
			fight.

					MARTOK
			Or hope of escape.

	Martok looks at Worf, then Garak.

					MARTOK
			If you are Worf... then you must
			be Garak. He said you would come.

	Garak reacts. He suspects he knows who Martok is 
	talking about.

57   INT. BARRACKS - NIGHT

	These are the prison quarters. They're very clean and 
	very austere. Like much of what we've seen from the 
	Dominion, form equals function, and nothing is wasted. 
	The walls are riveted steel and the only furniture are 
	metal bunks for the prisoners.

	There're only four prisoners present; two are Romulans 
	and one is a Breen, dressed in his cold-weather gear. 
	The fourth lies unconscious on a bunk at the far side 
	of the room.

	Garak walks over to the far bunk with Worf and Martok 
	trailing behind him. We see now that the unconscious 
	form is ENABRAN TAIN.

					GARAK
			Tain.

					WORF
				(to Martok)
			What's wrong with him?

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT FOUR 40A.

57   CONTINUED:

					MARTOK
			It's his heart.

					GARAK,
			Really. There're a lot of people
			who'd say he doesn't have one.

					MARTOK
			He was convinced you would come.

					GARAK
			He knew I had no choice...

	Garak stands over Tain.

					GARAK
				(trying to wake him)
			Tain. Tain. I'm here.

	Tain slowly comes around.

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT FOUR  41.

57   CONTINUED:	(2)

					TAIN
			My message. It got through.

					GARAK
			It did.

					TAIN
			Where are the others?

					GARAK
			There are no others. Just 
			Commander Worf and I.

	Tain looks disappointed.

					TAIN
			You allowed yourselves to be taken 
			prisoner.
				(frowns)
			I taught you better than that. 
			Living on that station has dulled 
			your wits.

	Tain clearly has nothing further to say to Garak.

					GARAK
			That's it? After I've come all 
			this way? After all I've been 
			through? That's all you have to 
			say to me?

					TAIN
			What do you want me to say?

					GARAK
			I want you to say "Thank you, 
			Elim. Your loyalty is most 
			gratifying. I knew I could count 
			on you."

					TAIN
			But I couldn't count on you, could 
			I? All you've done is doom us 
			both.

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT FOUR 41A.

57   CONTINUED:	(3)

	But that's about all Tain can manage. He slips into 
	unconsciousness.

58   CLOSE ON GARAK

	As he looks down at his unconscious mentor. This 
	wasn't the reunion he'd been hoping for.

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT FOUR  42.

59   INT. WARDROOM

	Dukat ENTERS to find Sisko, Kira, Dax, O'Brien, Bashir 
	and Odo, already assembled around the main table.

					DUKAT
			Sorry I'm late.

					KIRA
			What's he doing here?

					DUKAT
			Captain Sisko invited me.

					SISKO
			A Dominion invasion of the Alpha 
			Quadrant will affect Cardassia 
			every bit as much as it will 
			affect us.
				(a beat)
			Besides, we need all the help we 
			can get. The Dominion picked a 
			perfect time to invade. The 
			Cardassian fleet is in shambles, 
			the Romulans aren't much better 
			off, and between the Klingon War 
			and the latest Borg attack, 
			Starfleet's spread pretty thin.

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT FOUR  43.

59   CONTINUED:

					KIRA
			Then we're going to have our hands 
			full. There're at least fifty 
			Dominion ships headed our way. 
			And for all we know, that's just 
			the first wave.

					DAX
			How soon can we expect 
			reinforcements to get here?

					SISKO
				(grim)
			At maximum warp... two days.

					KIRA
			Not soon enough.

					O'BRIEN
				(to Dukat)
			What kind of help can we expect 
			from Cardassia?

					DUKAT
			My ship and my crew are at your 
			disposal.

					BASHIR
				(underwhelmed)
			one ship. Things are looking 
			brighter.

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT FOUR  44.

59   CONTINUED:	(2)

	All eyes turn to Sisko. He obviously has a plan.

					SISKO
			Right now, there's no way we can 
			beat the Dominion. Our only hope 
			is to prevent their fleet from 
			entering the Alpha Quadrant.

	The lights dawn for Kira.

					KIRA
				(softly)
			You're going to destroy the 
			wormhole?


   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT FOUR  45.

59   CONTINUED:	(3)

					SISKO
			It's always been a final option. 
			I'd hoped never to use it.


					KIRA
			But the Celestial Temple... the 
			Prophets...

					SISKO
			Doctor Lenara Kahn of the Trill 
			Science Ministry has come up with 
			a way to seal the wormhole without 
			damaging it or harming the 
			Prophets.

					KIRA
			But Bajor will be cut off from 
			the Celestial Temple.

					SISKO
			History's shown that when the 
			Prophets want to communicate with 
			Bajor, they find a way.
				(a beat)
			Besides, it's either that or Bajor 
			becomes the Dominion's first 
			target.

	Kira nods. She's not happy about it, but she knows 
	that Sisko wouldn't be taking this action unless it was
	absolutely necessary.

					O'BRIEN
			We'll have to remodulate the 
			deflector grid frequencies and rig 
			a phase-conjugate graviton beam.

					SISKO
			You and Dax start work 
			immediately.

	Dax nods. But something's bothering her.

					DAX
			What about Worf?

					ODO
			If we close the wormhole, he and 
			Garak will be trapped in the Gamma 
			Quadrant.

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT FOUR 45A.

59   CONTINUED:	(4)

					DUKAT
				(smiles)
			Casualties of war.

	Sisko hates to agree with Dukat, but in this case, he's 
	right.

					SISKO
			They have thirty-six hours to find 
			their way home. Let's hope they 
			make it.

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT FOUR  46.

60   INT. BARRACKS -- NIGHT


	It's later. Martok is telling Worf and Garak how they 
	got the message out.

					MARTOK
			Before this asteroid was converted 
			into a prison, the Dominion used 
			to mine ultritium here. There was 
			no dome and each of these barracks 
			had its own life support system 
			embedded in the walls.

					GARAK
			And Tain was able to modify the 
			life support system to create a 
			subspace transmitter?

					MARTOK
				(nods)
			There's a crawl space just behind 
			those panels. He'd spend hours in 
			there, working. Every day for 
			months on end. Cardassians. 
			They're a clever people. 
			Especially that one.
				(a beat)
			But within a few days, at best, 
			he will be dead.

	Martok and Worf look over at Tain.

					WORF
			Then it is up to us to be clever.

	Just then, one of the ROMULANS we had seen earlier 
	comes running into the barracks.

					ROMULAN
			They're releasing him from 
			isolation.

					MARTOK
			Good.

					WORF
			Who?

					MARTOK
			A friend.

	Martok EXITS, along with both Romulans. The Breen 
	doesn't budge. Worf and Garak decide to follow Martok.

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT FOUR  47.

61   EXT. DOMINION-INTERNMENT CENTER - NIGHT

	Martok and the two Romulans along with several ND 
	prisoners from the other barracks line up by the door 
	to one of the other buildings.

	Two Jem'Hadar guards open the door and push out a 
	bedraggled looking prisoner wearing the old style Deep 
	Space Nine uniform. He looks up and over at Worf and 
	Garak and we see that IT'S JULIAN BASHIR.

62   CLOSE ON WORF

	As he reacts to this sight.

63   CLOSE ON BASHIR

	As it dawns on him that Worf is here and he smiles a 
	grim smile. On this, we...

									FADE OUT.

	FADE IN:

64   INT. BARRACKS

	Bashir, Worf, Garak, and Martok sit facing each other on a 
	pair of bunkbeds. Bashir rubs a sliver of metal against the 
	frame of the bed to sharpen it, then uses it to prick his 
	finger. He squeezes out a few drops of blood.

					BASHIR
			B Negative, if you were wondering.

					MARTOK
			It seems we are all who we appear 
			to be.

					WORF
			If the blood screenings can be 
			trusted.

					BASHIR
			They're all we've got.

					GARAK
			What about the others? Have you 
			tested them as well?

					BASHIR
			Everyone except the Breen.

	They all look over at the Breen, who sits immobile on 
	the bunk behind Bashir's.

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT FIVE  49.

64   CONTINUED:

					BASHIR
			No blood.

					GARAK
			When were you brought here?

	Bashir thinks about it.

					BASHIR
			Over a month ago. I was at that 
			burn treatment conference on 
			Meezan Four. I went to bed one 
			night... and woke up here.

					MARTOK
			The same thing happened to me... 
			except I was hunting Sabre bear on 
			Kang's Summit. Little did I know 
			that I was being stalked as 
			well. 
				(to Worf)
			And now I'm told the changeling 
			that replaced me has caused the 
			death of countless Klingons. It 
			is a grave dishonor.

					WORF
			You are not to blame.

					BASHIR
			I can only imagine what my 
			replacement is up to on the 
			station.

					WORF
			I have been thinking the same 
			thing. We have to escape... warn 
			Captain Sisko before that 
			changeling carries out his 
			mission.

	And off this moment, as they ponder this, we...

									CUT TO:

65   INT. TURBOLIFT

	Close on the BASHIR CHANGELING in a Turbolift carrying 
	a tray of food. His face is a blank mask, devoid of 
	emotion. But as the Turbolift comes to a stop, his 
	face relaxes and he breaks into an amiable grin.

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT FIVE  50.

66   INT. OPS

	The Bashir Changeling ENTERS from the turbolift 
	carrying the tray.

67   NEW ANGLE

	On Dax and O'Brien who are down in the pit, working on 
	the (TECH) to seal the wormhole.

					O'BRIEN
			Creating a precisely modulated 
			graviton field to seal the

			as Lenara thought.

					DAX
			She was always a lot stronger on 
			theory than execution. But we'll 
			get it.


					BASHIR CHANGELING
			I'm sure you will.

	O'Brien glances up at the Bashir Changeling.

					O'BRIEN
			Julian. What are you doing up 
			this early?

					BASHIR CHANGELING
			You've been working for sixteen 
			hours straight. I thought you 
			might want some sandwiches.

	Dax smiles up at the Bashir Changeling.

					DAX
			That's very thoughtful.

					O'BRIEN
			You're a gentleman and a scholar.

					BASHIR CHANGELING
			Truer words were never spoken. 
				(puts the tray down)
			If you need anything... anything 
			at all, just let me know.

	Dax helps herself to a sandwich.

69   INT. DOCKING RING CORRIDOR 


	Dukat waits impatiently by the airlock as a pair of non-
	Bajoran aliens walk past him toward their departing 
	ship. Dukat's tension and anger are rising when he 
	finally spots Ziyal.

					DUKAT
			It's about time. You almost 
			missed the transport.

	Dukat realizes Ziyal's not carrying any bags.

					DUKAT
			Where's your baggage?
				(doesn't have time)
			Never mind. I'll have it sent to 
			you.

					ZIYAL
			That won't be necessary, Father.
				(off his reaction)
			I'm not leaving.

	Dukat reacts to this. He's angry but he tries to hold 
	back, to reason with his daughter.


					DUKAT
			Ziyal, I know we haven't spent 
			much time together, but I think 
			you know me well enough to realize 
			that when I give an order, I 
			expect to be obeyed.

					ZIYAL
			I'm not one of your soldiers.

					DUKAT
			No. You're my daughter.

					ZIYAL
			And Tora Naprem's daughter, too. 
			I'm half Bajoran. I don't belong 
			on Cardassia. You know I'll never 
			be accepted there.

					DUKAT
			Ziyal, you have to trust me. 
			Things are going to change on 
			Cardassia.

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT FIVE  52.

69   CONTINUED:

					ZIYAL
			What things?

					DUKAT
			I don't have time to explain. 
			You're leaving. Now.

					ZIYAL
			I can't go.

	Suddenly Dukat realizes what's keeping Ziyal from 
	leaving.

					DUKAT
			It's him, isn't it? That 
			despicable tailor. You don't want 
			to leave because you're waiting 
			for him.

					ZIYAL
			Garak promised me held come back.

					DUKAT
			Listen to me, Ziyal. He's never 
			coming back. He's probably dead 
			already, and even if he's not, the 
			Federation is going to seal the 
			wormhole. Garak will be trapped 
			on the other side.

					ZIYAL
			He made a promise. And so did I. 
			I said I'd wait for him... and I 
			will.

					DUKAT
			Is a promise made to an enemy of 
			your family more important than 
			obeying your father?

	Ziyal's silence is all the answer Dukat needs. His 
	face hardens.


					DUKAT
			Very well. Stay here if that's 
			what you want. Stay here and be 
			damned.

	Dukat stalks off, leaving Ziyal hurt and alone.

71   EXT. DOMINION INTERNMENT CENTER - NIGHT

	Bashir and Garak walk between the barracks and talk 
	quietly among themselves. Garak is a bitter man at the 
	moment. And he is venting that bitterness in front of 
	his friend.

					GARAK
			I never should've come here. I 
			should've let that monster die 
			alone and forgotten.

	Bashir tries to lighten the moment.

					BASHIR
			Frankly, I'm glad you came. 
				(smiles)
			Misery loves company.

	But Garak isn't in the mood for jokes.

					GARAK
			My whole life, I've done nothing 
			but try to please that man. I let 
			him mold me, turn me into a mirror 
			image of himself. And how did he 
			repay me? With exile. But I 
			forgave him. And now, here at the 
			end, I thought maybe, just maybe, 
			he could forgive me.

					BASHIR
			From what I've seen of him in the 
			last month, he doesn't come across 
			as the forgiving type.

					GARAK
			I was a fool. Let this be a 
			lesson to you, doctor... perhaps 
			the most valuable I can teach 
			you... Sentiment is the greatest 
			weakness of all.

					BASHIR
			If that's true, then it's a lesson 
			I don't want to learn.

	Just then, Martok enters the courtyard. He has a grim 
	look about him.

					MARTOK
			I thought you might want to know.

	Garak looks over at Bashir, who nods his approval. 
	Garak hurries toward the barracks. Bashir follows.

72   INT. BARRACKS

	Bashir and Garak ENTER. Garak approaches Tain, who is

	Garak looks over at Bashir, then turns back to Tain.

					GARAK
			Yes. There's no one here but you

	Garak sits down next to him, unsure of what to do.

					TAIN
				(feverish, urgent)
			Surjak, Memad, Brun... they can't 
			be trusted. They must be dealt 
			with.

					GARAK
			I've already taken care of it.

					TAIN
			What about Gul Vorlem? Have you 
			been able to contact him?

					GARAK
			Years ago.


					TAIN
			The Romulan ambassador?

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT FIVE  55.

72   CONTINUED:

					GARAK
			Gone. All of your enemies are 
			dead.

					TAIN
				(a weak smile)
			Good. A man shouldn't allow his 
			enemies to outlive him.

					GARAK
				(bitter)
			Then you can die happy.
				(a beat)
			Unless you still consider me an 
			enemy.

	Bashir watches, fascinated, but Tain doesn't react to 
	the bait.

					TAIN
			Elim... promise me one thing.

					GARAK
			I'm listening.

					TAIN
			Don't die here. Escape. Live...

					GARAK
			Let me guess... So I can make the 
			Dominion pay for what they've done 
			to you.

					TAIN
			You wouldn't deny an old man his 
			revenge, would you?

					GARAK
			I'll do as you ask. on one 
			condition.

	Garak hesitates. He looks over at Bashir. Whatever 
	he has to say, he doesn't want Bashir to hear it, but 
	he doesn't have the luxury of waiting.

					GARAK
				(continuing)
			That you don't ask me this favor 
			as a mentor, or a superior 
			officer... but as a father asking 
			his son.

	Bashir reacts in surprise. Tain turns away.

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT FIVE  56.

72   CONTINUED:	(2)

						TAIN
			You're not my son.

					GARAK
			Father, you're dying. For once in 
			your life, speak the truth.

	Tain tries to show no emotion, but he's too weak to 
	pull it off.

					TAIN
			I should have killed your mother 
			before you were born. You've 
			always been a weakness I can't 
			afford.

					GARAK
			So you've told me. Many times. 
			Enabran, listen to me. All I ask 
			is that for this moment, let me be 
			your son.

	Tain stares off into space, torn. Finally, after a 
	long silence, he closes his eyes.

					TAIN
			Elim, remember that day... in the 
			country. You must've been almost 
			five.

	Tain's growing visibly weaker, but he seems to be at 
	peace.

					GARAK
			How can I forget it? It was the
			only day.

					TAIN
			I can still see you... on the back 
			of that riding hound. You must've 
			fallen off a dozen times. But you 
			wouldn't give up.

					GARAK
			I remember limping home.
				(a beat)
			You held my hand.

	And from Garak's expression, that was the only time 
	such a thing happened. Garak knows that by bringing up 
	this shared memory, Tain is trying to give him what he 
	wants.

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT FIVE  57.

72   CONTINUED:	(3)

					TAIN
			I was very proud of you, that day.

	And with that, Tain gives himself a private smile, and 
	dies.

 73   CLOSE ON GARAK

	There're no tears, but for a moment Garak wears the 
	face of that little boy.

					BASHIR
			Garak...

74   NEW ANGLE

	Behind Garak and Bashir, Martok and Worf ENTER.

75   CLOSE ON GARAK

	As the others enter, Garak stands and his expression 
	changes. He's all business.

					GARAK
				(simply)
			Gentlemen, I don't know about 
			you... but my business here is 
			done.

					WORF
			Then I suggest we find a way out 
			of here.

75A  NEW ANGLE

	Garak smiles grimly and as the four of them stand 
	together in their determination to get home, we...

	Re-establishing.

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT FIVE  58.

77   INT. OPS

	The station is at Red Alert. Ops is a hub of activity. 
	Sisko is standing by the Ops table with Kira and 
	Bashir. Dax is at her station. O'Brien is in the pit. 
	Everyone is on edge. This is about as tense and 
	clipped a moment as we have ever seen.

					KIRA
				(off her panel)
			Our last listening post in the 
			Gamma Quadrant just went dead.

					DAX
			That one was right on the other 
			side of the wormhole.

					SISKO
			Which means the Dominion fleet is 
			minutes away.
				(to O'Brien)
			Chief?

	In the pit, O'Brien works with focused intensity.

					O'BRIEN
			Almost ready.

	Dax can't help but think of her par'machkai, lost on 
	the other side of the wormhole.

					DAX
			Worf...

					BASHIR CHANGELING
			Is a Klingon warrior. He'd 
			understand.

					KIRA
				(urgent)
			Neutrino levels in the wormhole 
			are rising.

					SISKO
			If we're going to do this, we have 
			to do it now.

					O'BRIEN
				(slamming a panel shut)
			Ready.

					BASHIR CHANGELING
			Here goes nothing.

					SISKO
			Activate the graviton emitters.

					KIRA
			May the Prophets forgive us.

	There's a huge hum of power and we...

									CUT TO:

78   EXT. SPACE (OPTICAL)

	Deep Space Nine emits a particle beam directly at the 
	wormhole.

78A  INT. OPS

	Suddenly O'Brien's panel sparks and shorts out and...

78B   EXT. SPACE (OPTICAL)

	The beam fritzes on and off and...

78C   INT. OPS

	Dax reacts to her readouts.

					DAX
				We're losing it.

78D   EXT. SPACE (OPTICAL)

	The beam winks out.

   DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT FIVE  59.

79   INT. OPS (OPTICAL)

	Sisko and the others look up at the viewscreen, which 
	shows nothing but stars.

					SISKO
			What happened?

					O'BRIEN
			Someone sabotaged the emitter 
			array.

79A  CLOSE ON BASHIR 

	His face betrays nothing. Suddenly without warning, 
	there's a flash from the viewscreen. Everyone looks up 
	as...

80   CLOSE ON THE VIEWSCREEN (OPTICAL)

	The wormhole bursts open and Jem'Hadar ship after 
	Jem'Hadar ship comes pouring into the Alpha Quadrant.
