STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE "Resurrection" TEASER FADE IN: 1 INT. KIRA'S QUARTERS Early morning. KIRA is hanging one of Ziyal's framed ink brush paintings on her wall. PULL BACK TO REVEAL two more of Ziyal's paintings already hanging on the same wall. The door CHIMES. KIRA Come in. 2 DAX ENTERS as Kira finishes hanging the picture and steps back to see the effect. Dax YAWNS, not yet fully awake. DAX Is it my imagination or does oh- six-hundred seem to come earlier and earlier? KIRA Either that, or you've been going to bed later and later. DAX I'd forgotten how... strenuous married life can be. Kira and Dax exchange wry grins as Kira finishes hanging the paintings. KIRA (re: the paintings) What do you think? Dax takes a moment to take in the Ziyal memorial wall. DAX I think Ziyal was talented... but not that talented. Kira tries to study the wall with a more objective eye. KIRA Too much? DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - TEASER 2. 2 CONTINUED: In answer, Dax walks over to the wall and takes down two of the paintings, leaving a single picture. Dax steps back and stands next to Kira. DAX There, that's better. Kira has to agree. KIRA How did you know that was my favorite one? DAX I guessed. Come on, we're going to be late. Kira nods and they head for the door. DAX You really miss her, don't you? 3 INT. HABITAT RING CORRIDOR - CONTINUOUS Dax and Kira emerge from her quarters and walk down the hallway. KIRA I'll get over it. Death and I are old friends. DAX (joking) Maybe he can be your date tomorrow night. KIRA (an old argument) I told you, I'm not bringing anyone. DAX I know what you told me, but people change their minds. KIRA Not me. Not about this. Dax isn't about to let Kira off so easy. DAX What about Captain Boday? DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - TEASER 3. 3 CONTINUED: KIRA (surprised) You want me to bring Captain Boday to your quarters for dinner? DAX It's just a suggestion... KIRA A bad suggestion. One, you used to go out with Captain Boday. Two, Worf hates him. And three -- as we have discussed many times -- Captain Boday has a transparent skull. They enter a turbolift. DAX (oh, yeah) And you don't like to see a man's brains... KIRA (nods "that's right," then to com) Ops. The turbolift doors close. 4 INT. TURBOLIFT - CONTINUOUS DAX (unfazed) What about Doctor Trag'tok? He's intelligent, a good physique, and he has a very opaque cranium. KIRA True. But his eye bothers me. DAX Which one? KIRA The middle one. DAX You really are obsessed with appearances, aren't you? DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - TEASER 3A. 4 CONTINUED: KIRA And your taste in men... frightens me. The two women step out of the Turbolift as they've arrived at -- DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - TEASER 4. 5 INT. OPS - CONTINUOUS As Kira and Dax head for the replicator. WORF and O'BRIEN are manning their consoles as are the needed SUPERNUMERARIES. DAX I'll tell Worf you said so. WORF Tell me what? DAX (to Worf) Don't be so nosy. 6 CLOSE ON KIRA AND DAX at the replicator. KIRA Two raktajinos. Extra strong. And a Kava roll. DAX (sotto) You could always invite Odo... Kira gives Dax a reprimanding look. DAX ... as a friend. KIRA (quietly, but firmly) I'm not ready for that. Odo's not ready for that. Let's just forget you ever brought it up. I'm coming to dinner -- alone. Got it? DAX I got it. Three place settings. KIRA (handing Dax her cup) I'll bring the wine. Kira moves off to her station. 7 AT ENGINEERING O'Brien reacts to a console display, works his panel. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - TEASER 5. 7 CONTINUED: O'BRIEN (to com) Captain, you'd better get out here. Dax's attention snaps to her console... she quickly manipulates the controls. SISKO emerges from his office. SISKO What is it? O'BRIEN I'm showing a power buildup in the transporter buffer. DAX Someone's attempting to beam aboard. SISKO From where? DAX I don't know. There are no ships within transporter range. Kira starts towards the transporter. 8 THE TRANSPORTER (OPTICAL) A kneeling humanoid figure (BAREIL) MATERIALIZES within the unit. His clothes are disheveled. A battered pouch dangles from one shoulder. He's hunched over, as if clutching a bad belly wound, concealing his face. He moans softly. SISKO Sisko to Bashir. We have a medical emergency in Ops. BASHIR'S COM VOICE I'll be right there. Kira kneels next to the injured man. KIRA Are you hurt? DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - TEASER 6. 9 THE MYSTERY VISITOR As if in response to Kira's question, he puts the muzzle of a disruptor against her stomach. BAREIL No, but you will be, unless you do exactly what I say. Their eyes lock. His face is streaked with dirt, but there's no mistaking that face... it's the face of Vedek Bareil, Kira's long-dead Bajoran lover. 10 KIRA stares, stunned. KIRA It can't be... And off her expression, we: FADE OUT. END OF TEASER DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT ONE 7. ACT ONE FADE IN: (NOTE: Episode credits fall over opening scenes) 11 INT. OPS - CONTINUOUS Bareil gets to his feet, forcing Kira up with him placing the weapon at her back and using her body as a shield. SISKO (to Bareil) What do you want? BAREIL A fast ship would be nice. SISKO (tapping his combadge) Security, we have a hostage situation. Clear a path to Landing Pad A. Authorization Sisko seven-one-green. ODO'S COM VOICE Seven-one-green acknowledged, captain. SISKO (to Bareil) Your runabout's waiting. BAREIL (to Kira) Let's go. Bareil and Kira step off the transporter pad. Bareil's careful to keep his back to the bulkhead. SISKO Hurt her and you'll never get off this station, I promise you that. BAREIL Follow me and she dies -- I promise you that. 12 BAREIL AND KIRA move toward the doors leading to the corridor. As they pass Kira's desk -- DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT ONE 8. 12 CONTINUED: BAREIL Hold it. Kira stops in her tracks. Everyone tenses, waiting to see what he's going to do. Keeping the gun on her, Bareil reaches over and picks up the Kava roll and takes a ravenous bite. As they continue toward the doors, they pass the turbolift. Kira takes a step towards it, but he stops her. BAREIL Not the turbolift. Someone cuts the power and we're trapped inside. KIRA I guess we walk. They exit into -- 13 INT. CORRIDOR - CONTINUOUS Kira leads Bareil down the empty corridor. Bareil's eyes dart around, sensing an ambush at every turn. BAREIL Your uniform... I've never seen one like it. You're not with the Alliance, are you? KIRA There is no Alliance here. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT ONE 9. 13 CONTINUED: BAREIL (smiling) Then it's true. I've crossed to the alternate universe. (finishing off the Kava roll) Tell you one thing... I like your food better. KIRA I take it you're running from the Alliance. BAREIL Now you know the story of my life. KIRA And once you get your ship, what then? BAREIL I find a place where I can stop running. KIRA Where's that? BAREIL I don't know -- I'm making this up as I go along. Believe me, no matter where I end up, it's going to be a lot better than where I've been. KIRA I can believe that. I've spent time in your universe. BAREIL I bet you were glad to leave it. They come to a fork in the corridor. BAREIL Which way? KIRA (pointing) That way. BAREIL How many levels until we reach the landing pads? DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT ONE 10. 13 CONTINUED: (2) KIRA Fifty-seven. BAREIL (resigned) Lead the way. (an afterthought) You don't happen to have another one of those Kava rolls, do you? (off her look) I didn't think so. They move down the corridor. 14 INT. DOCKING RING CORRIDOR CLOSE ON Kira and Bareil as they approach an airlock. KIRA We're here. Landing Pad A. BAREIL Open it. KIRA I have a better idea Kira turns around and faces him. KIRA Why don't you hand me that disruptor. Bareil points the weapon at her chest. BAREIL You've been so cooperative up to now. I'd hate to have to kill you. KIRA You're not going to kill me. BAREIL You're sure of that? DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT ONE 11. 14 CONTINUED: KIRA You're not going to kill anyone. Not with that disruptor. The power cell's cracked. Bareil sighs, he's disappointed but not surprised. BAREIL How long have you known? KIRA Since we left Ops. BAREIL Then why'd you come with me? KIRA I needed the exercise. A beat as Bareil seems to come to a hard decision. BAREIL And I need to get away. Bareil lifts the gun to hit Kira over the head, but the Major parries the blow, steps in close and flips Bareil on his back with a judo-like move. 15 ANOTHER ANGLE Bareil hits the deck hard as the airlock OPENS. ODO and TWO BAJORAN SECURITY OFFICERS step up to Kira. ODO Are you all right, major? KIRA I'm fine. They both look at the unconscious Bareil. ODO The resemblance to Vedek Bareil is remarkable. Odo looks at Kira for a beat, trying to determine her feelings towards the man that looks like her dead lover. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT ONE 12. 16 INT. HOLDING CELL Bareil is seated, looking quite at home in his cell. BAREIL This is the cleanest interrogation chamber I've ever been in -- and believe me, I've been in quite a few. PULL BACK to reveal Kira, standing outside the cell. Kira is holding the multi-dimensional transporter device last seen in "Through The Looking Glass." KIRA I'm glad you're comfortable. (re: the device) Mind telling me how you got your hands on this? BAREIL A Terran rebel gave it to me. Kira knows he's lying. KIRA A multidimensional transporter device -- nice gift. BAREIL We were very close. Looking to change the subject, Bareil steps up to the forcefield, trying to get as close to Kira as possible. BAREIL (with cheerful anticipation) So, when do I get to meet myself? KIRA (taken by surprise) Meaning what? BAREIL This is the alternate universe, correct? Everything's the same... but different. Which means there's another Bareil Antos here. KIRA There was. BAREIL Was? DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT ONE 13. 16 CONTINUED: This is hard for Kira to talk about. KIRA He's dead. Bareil can see the sadness in her eyes. BAREIL (a realization) You knew him, didn't you? That's why you seemed to recognize me. (a beat) What was he like? KIRA Does it matter? Bareil can see that her feelings for the man ran deep. BAREIL He was someone you cared about. She turns to go. BAREIL Major. Kira stops and looks back to him. BAREIL I know I have no right to ask this but you could do me a very big favor -- (re: the transporter device) -- destroy that device. KIRA Why? BAREIL Because then they can't send me back. KIRA Sorry, I can't do that. BAREIL (with urgency) Please, major. You've been there -- you know what it's like. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT ONE 14. 16 CONTINUED: (2) BAREIL (Cont'd) Put me in prison... in a labor camp... whatever you want -- just let me stay. And off this moment -- 17 INT. SISKO'S OFFICE Sisko and Kira, both standing, face each other across his desk. SISKO Let me get this straight, major... you're refusing to press charges? KIRA That's right. I don't think... Bareil ever intended to hurt me. Sisko thinks this over. SISKO I suppose we could just send him back where he came from. KIRA No. (off Sisko's look) He doesn't want to go back to that universe and I don't blame him. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT ONE 15 -16. 17 CONTINUED: SISKO I know what you're going through, major. When I met the "other" Jennifer Sisko, it was... confusing to say the least. I knew she wasn't my wife, but sometimes she would smile at me a certain way -- or the light would hit her eyes, and... she was my Jennifer. or at least that's what I wanted to believe. KIRA Captain -- I know this man isn't Vedek Bareil. He doesn't talk like him, he doesn't act like him... he's a totally different person. SISKO But you still feel a connection to him that you can't explain, don't you? KIRA It's not a problem. Sisko looks at her closely, then decides: SISKO Good. Just see that it doesn't become one. 18 CLOSE ON KIRA as she contemplates the captain's admonition, and we: FADE OUT. END OF ACT ONE DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT TWO 17. ACT TWO FADE IN: 19 INT. PROMENADE Bareil slowly strolls down the Promenade, taking in the sights, absorbing the world around him. He's also aware that he is being stared at by various Bajoran shopkeepers, kiosk operators and one or two passersby. He stops in front of Quark's, drawn by the thought of a little liquid refreshment and relaxation in what appears to him as a very inviting bar. But before he enters, Bareil spots Kira heading toward the Bajoran shrine, where the venerable VEDEK OSSAN is out front, ringing the chimes, summoning the faithful to prayer. BAREIL Major! Bareil hurries over to her. 20 NEW ANGLE as he catches up to Kira. BAREIL I just wanted to say thank you for putting in a good word on my behalf. KIRA What are you going to do now? BAREIL I'm not sure. I've been reading up on your world -- it's very different from the Bajor I know. KIRA Is that where you intend to go? BAREIL I'm thinking about it. TWO BAJORANS pass by on their way to the shrine, both staring at Bareil with surprise and curiosity, making him feel very self-conscious. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT TWO 18. 20 CONTINUED: BAREIL (to Kira) Did you see that? People keep staring at me. KIRA It's because the man you look like was respected and loved by a lot of people. He was a Vedek. BAREIL A Vedek? KIRA A religious leader. Bareil LAUGHS. BAREIL Imagine that -- me, a religious leader... KIRA I'm glad you find it amusing. (turning away) I'm going to be late for services. Kira starts to move away, but Bareil catches her arm. BAREIL Wait -- I didn't mean to offend you. It's just the kind of life I've led... it hasn't been very spiritual. In fact, I don't think I've ever been inside a temple. This gives Kira an idea. KIRA Well, now's your chance. You're welcome to join me. BAREIL (surprised at the thought) In there? I don't think so. Besides, if I go in there, people are going to start believing I really am Vedek Bareil. And that's something I'd like to avoid. KIRA I can understand that. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT TWO 19. 20 CONTINUED: (2) And with that, she moves away toward the shrine. We HOLD ON a thoughtful Bareil watching her walk away. 21 INT. BAJORAN SHRINE Kira is standing amidst a gathering of BAJORANS listening to Vedek Ossan recite the traditional words of the service. Ceremonial candles light the area around him. OSSAN Tolata impara no takash... with humility and gratitude, we accept this gift... The Vedek turns to face the shrine entrance, raises his arms and calls out. OSSAN ... Veshanoo yavar ha iktasho... the sacred Orb of Prophecy. The congregation rises, turns to face... 22 THE SHRINE ENTRANCE where a pair of ACOLYTES ENTER, RINGING prayer chimes. Following them, TWO BAJORAN SECURITY GUARDS take stations next to the doorway. 23 KIRA becomes aware of a small commotion around her. She turns and finds Bareil standing next to her. KIRA (low, surprised) What are you doing here? BAREIL (whispering) I figured I could use a little spiritual guidance. KIRA That's not funny. BAREIL It wasn't meant to be. Kira looks at him intently. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT TWO 20. 23 CONTINUED: BAREIL I plan on making a new life for myself here and I'm going to need all the help I can get. Kira nods -- she can understand his outlook. The eerie SOUND of the T'fan (a traditional Bajoran wind instrument that sounds like a haunting cross between an Australian didgeridoo and a Hebrew shofar) abruptly attracts Bareil's attention. 24 THE TEMPLE ENTRANCE The Monk playing the T'fan leads a small procession carrying an orb case toward the dais. BAREIL (quietly) What's in the box? KIRA The Orb of Prophecy and Change. 25 KIRA AND BAREIL both face the procession, occasionally glancing at each other and SPEAKING IN WHISPERS. BAREIL "Orb?" KIRA A gift from the Prophets. It can foresee the future -- or a possible future, anyway. BAREIL That could come in handy. (a beat) Who are the Prophets? This makes her smile. KIRA Our gods. You do have gods, don't you? BAREIL Of course we do. KIRA You don't sound too sure. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT TWO 21. 25 CONTINUED: BAREIL That's because I leave them alone and they leave me alone. From behind them, we hear a loud SHUSHING sound. Kira and Bareil look at each other, then revert their attention to the elaborate ceremony being performed by the Vedek. 26 VEDEK OSSAN stands at the dais, where the orb has been placed, and solemnly places both hands on the sides of the box. Closing his eyes, he begins to chant: OSSAN Yelim cha ono... tarnah purono dhar jeek... teram far che... yavar ha iktasho... 27 BAREIL AND KIRA as she and the other Bajorans close their eyes and join in on the chant. KIRA (to Bareil) Close your eyes. BAREIL Excuse me? KIRA Close your eyes. After a beat he does, joining the chant as best he can. GROUP Yelim cha ono... tarnah purono dhar jeek... teram far che... yavar ha iktasho... And as we hold on the moment -- CUT TO: 28 INT. PROMENADE Bajorans file out of the shrine, Kira and Bareil among them. They walk together down the Promenade. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT TWO 22. 28 CONTINUED: KIRA Well, what did you think? BAREIL I'm not sure. It was an interesting ceremony, but... KIRA But what? BAREIL Everyone seemed to take it so seriously. KIRA What's wrong with that? BAREIL It must be nice to have that kind of faith. I've always preferred to believe in nothing -- that way I'm never disappointed. KIRA Doesn't sound like much of a life. BAREIL (smiling) Maybe not, but it's all mine. Kira smiles back, she can't help but finding this man charming. BAREIL Anyway... I'm glad I got a chance to see you again -- it was very... enlightening. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT TWO 23. 28 CONTINUED: (2) Kira nods. There's an awkward beat between them. Finally: BAREIL Thank you, major. He takes a couple of steps away before Kira impulsively calls out to him. KIRA Bareil. (after he turns to face her) Do you like Klingon food? And before he can answer, we go to -- 29 INT. DAX AND WORF'S QUARTERS We open on Bareil taking a long gulp of bloodwine, mid-story: BAREIL An hour later, the Klingon guard returned to my cell. And as he... 30 NEW ANGLE to see Kira, Dax and Worf seated around a dinner table, clearly entertained by Bareil's tale. BAREIL (remembering) ... put down my "last meal"... I slipped his mek'leth out of his scabbard and hid it in my shirt. That night, I used the blade to deactivate the sensor alarm, and used my earring to open the cell door. (a beat) By the time they realized I was gone, I was halfway to the Ventar system. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT TWO 24. 30 CONTINUED: DAX That's one hell of a story. Dax gets up and goes to a side table to pick up a cake-like dessert. WORF And that's all it is -- a story. BAREIL Excuse me? WORF It was well told, but there's no truth to any of it. BAREIL You're sure of that? Dax returns to the table with the dessert, setting it in the middle of the table. WORF You expect us to believe you stole a mek'leth from a Klingon warrior? DAX Worf -- it's not polite to accuse a guest of lying. BAREIL (to Dax) It's all right. Obviously, I was exaggerating. Dax takes a serving knife and offers it to Worf. DAX Would you like to do the honors? But before Worf can take the knife: BAREIL Allow me. Bareil whips out a mek'leth from his shirt sleeve. Worf instinctively reaches behind his back for his mek'leth -- but it's not there. Bareil then slices the dessert with two lightning-fast slashes, dividing the cake into four even pieces. Bareil then holds out the blade for Worf to take. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT TWO 25. 30 CONTINUED: (2) BAREIL I believe this is yours. Kira and Dax smile. KIRA What do you think now, Worf? After a beat, Worf takes back his blade. WORF (magnanimous) Obviously, Bareil is a better thief than I gave him credit for. (grabbing a flask) More bloodwine? BAREIL Why not. WORF Now I will tell you one of my stories. BAREIL And I suppose every word of it will be true. WORF Mostly. Worf finishes pouring the bloodwine, and begins telling his story to Bareil. WORF I was seventeen and serving as an ensign on the U.S.S. Hawk. We were two days out of port when this anomaly hit us -- As Worf goes on with his tale, Dax leans over to Kira. DAX (sotto voce; re: Bareil) I'll say this for him, he might not be as spiritual as Vedek Bareil -- but he's a lot more fun. Kira smiles... she might not agree fully with Dax's statement, but she's happy to know her friends like her "date." DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT TWO 26. 31 INT. HABITAT RING CORRIDOR Later. Kira and Bareil are walking back to her quarters after the dinner party. They're not drunk, but they are... relaxed. BAREIL You know you're a lucky woman? KIRA Why's that? BAREIL You have good friends. KIRA (agreeing) They liked you. BAREIL You think so? KIRA Why do you sound so surprised? You must've had friends back home. BAREIL I can think of one... Bareil gets suddenly serious, as if a dark memory has taken over his mood. Kira senses this and probes gently: KIRA If you don't want to talk about it... BAREIL There's not much to say. She died. KIRA I'm sorry. BAREIL It's all right, it was a long time ago. They arrive at Kira's quarters. KIRA This is home. (a beat) I'm sorry the evening had to end on such a sad note. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT TWO 27. 31 CONTINUED: KIRA (continuing; a beat) Would you like to come in -- have a raktajino? And off Bareil's smile of acceptance. 32 INT. KIRA'S QUARTERS Bareil is seated on a couch, drinking a cup of raktajino. Kira's seated next to him. BAREIL Her name was Lisea. I first saw her on the street in Ilvia. I couldn't take my eyes off her -- she had the most attractive little money sack hanging from her waist. Kira smiles is disbelief. KIRA Don't tell me you stole it -- BAREIL She should've known better than to carry her money so carelessly in Ilvia. It's a very dangerous place. Turns out she had just arrived from one of the mining camps in the hills of Dahkur Province. KIRA I come from Dahkur Province, except here it's all farmland. BAREIL When I met her she was working in an Ilvian pleasure center. KIRA And you decided to "take her away from all that?" BAREIL (chagrined) I taught her how to be a thief. The funny thing is she was so grateful. She felt I saved her life. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT TWO 28. 32 CONTINUED: KIRA Maybe you did. BAREIL (shaking his head) If anyone was saved it was me... Bareil lets out a long breath, he hasn't thought about this in a long time and he's surprised how much it still affects him. BAREIL We were having dinner in a bar... a fight broke out. A drunken Cardassian pulled out a disruptor and started firing. The next thing I knew, she was lying dead in my arms... Bareil's eyes are filled with deep sadness. BAREIL (continuing) We were together five years... and in all that time, I never told her how much she meant to me. Kira gently picks up his hand and intertwines her fingers with his. KIRA I know what it's like to lose someone. She squeezes his fingers with support. He looks down at their clasped hands, then up to her face. He allows himself a small smile. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT TWO 29. 32 CONTINUED: (2) BAREIL When I activated that transporter device... I had no idea where I would end up. I never thought I'd be sitting here... with you. KIRA Two days ago all I wanted was to be alone. BAREIL Major... KIRA Don't you think it's time you called me Nerys? And with that, they both slowly lean forward and kiss. And on this, we: FADE OUT. END OF ACT TWO DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT THREE 30. ACT THREE FADE IN: 33 INT. KIRA'S QUARTERS - NEXT MORNING Kira is in bed. She's half asleep, but Bareil, sitting on the bed, is holding a bowl of a grape-like fruit which he relishes. BAREIL (holding up a piece of fruit) What did you say these are called? KIRA Alvas. They grow all over Bajor. BAREIL Not my Bajor. Bareil pops another one into his mouth. Kira can't help smiling. KIRA I can't believe you're still hungry. After a Klingon meal, I usually don't eat for two days. BAREIL Ever since I got here, I can't seem to stop eating. Kira stares at Bareil with obvious warmth. After a long beat, he notices her gaze. BAREIL What is it? KIRA Nothing. BAREIL (thinks he knows) This must be very... strange for you. You and I here, together... me looking like him. KIRA You're not anything like him. BAREIL You mean he didn't eat in bed? DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT THREE 31. 33 CONTINUED: KIRA Antos was very disciplined. (smiling at the memory) He had a set routine that he never deviated from. He ate only two meals a day... simple food. He always used to say "When you overindulge the body -- BAREIL (completing the quote) -- you starve the soul." Kira is taken aback by Bareil's knowledge. KIRA How'd you know that? BAREIL I did a little research. Enough to know that when he died, Bajor suffered a great loss. KIRA I would've given my life to save his. (a beat) But all I could do was stand there and watch him slip away... Bareil takes her hand and comforts her the way she comforted him. After a long beat: BAREIL Are you tired? KIRA Not anymore. BAREIL Want to get an early breakfast? KIRA (smiles) Sounds good. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT THREE 32. 33 CONTINUED: (2) And as they both slip out of bed, we go to -- 34 INT. OPS Dax and Worf are at their stations. BASHIR is there too, handing Dax a PADD. BASHIR My medical requisitions. Bashir's eyes sweep the room. DAX Why didn't you just download them into the computer? BASHIR I don't know... I just thought I'd stretch my legs... see what's happening in Ops. DAX Kira hasn't shown up yet. BASHIR (all innocence) Kira? DAX You are so transparent. BASHIR I don't know what you're talking about. WORF Your guilt is quite clear, Doctor. BASHIR Guilt? About what -- medical requisitions? Don't be ridiculous. DAX Julian -- Kira's personal life is her own. We're her friends and we should respect her privacy. The doors OPEN and Kira ENTERS, all eyes upon her. DAX (without missing a beat) Morning, Nerys. How'd things go last night? DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT THREE 33. 34 CONTINUED: KIRA You mean dinner? We had a great time. Why? Bashir gives Dax a pot-calling-the-kettle-black look. BASHIR She means after dinner. But you don't have to answer that question -- we wouldn't want to invade your privacy. DAX But, if you want to tell us about it -- we'll listen. Kira looks at all of her friends, then smiles. KIRA It went... well. DAX (to Worf) I told you. WORF I never doubted it. There's a pregnant pause before everyone goes back about their business. BASHIR Well, I'd better get back to the Infirmary... (to Kira) ... unless there are any more details forthcoming. KIRA Good-bye, Doctor. Bashir takes his cue and EXITS as Kira turns her attention to her console. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT THREE 34. 34 CONTINUED: (2) KIRA Worf -- any news from General Martok's scout ships? WORF They report no signs of Dominion activity along the border. KIRA Let's hope it stays that way. Dax steps up to Kira, almost whispering in her ear. DAX So, you going to see him tonight? KIRA (nods) At the Bajoran shrine. DAX That doesn't sound very romantic. KIRA (ignoring the comment) He's going to have his first orb experience. DAX Your idea, I suppose? KIRA Actually, it was his. He's curious about Bajoran spirituality -- it's a new concept for him. DAX It's not a midnight swim in the Holosuites... but as long as it makes you happy... Dax shrugs and returns to her work. 35 INT. BAJORAN SHRINE Kira and Bareil wait together, alone. Kira is seated on a stone bench as Bareil paces. The Orb of Prophecy and Change sits on the altar, surrounded by a protective forcefield. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT THREE 35. 35 CONTINUED: BAREIL So where's this Vedek? KIRA He'll be here -- now stop pacing. This is an orb experience, not an execution. BAREIL I just don't want to... disappoint anybody. KIRA That's sweet, but I'm not going to judge you. BAREIL I know that. I meant the Prophets. What do I say to them? KIRA You don't have to say or do anything... BAREIL I just stare into the orb? KIRA Actually, it's more like the orb stares into you. 36 ANOTHER ANGLE as Vedek Ossan appears from the shadows behind the altar. OSSAN (to Bareil) Welcome, my child. Are you ready to proceed? Bareil looks at Kira who stands to offer support. BAREIL Yes. 37 NEW ANGLE (OPTICAL) Vedek Ossan approaches a panel to one side of the altar and taps in an authorization code. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT THREE 36. 37 CONTINUED: The Vedek then places his hand on a scanner, which temporarily GLOWS around his fingers. The forcefield FRITZES OFF. OSSAN Come. Bareil steps up to the altar... Ossan grasps his ear. OSSAN Your pagh is strong. You're ready to face the will of the Prophets. 38 CLOSE ON BAREIL as he glances uneasily at Kira, who offers him an encouraging smile. Bareil turns to face the orb case, takes a deep breath, then OPENS it. BLUE ORB LIGHT SHIMMERS across his face -- 39 THE ORB (OPTICAL) Its radiance increases. 40 BAREIL His face suddenly softens. His eyes widen. His mouth opens slightly in awe. CUT TO: 41 INT. REPLIMAT Kira takes a Raktajino and a Kava roll from the replicator and brings it over to where Bareil is sitting, lost in thought. She sets the food down in front of him, momentarily shaking him out of his reverie. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT THREE 36. 41 CONTINUED: BAREIL Thank you, but I'm not hungry. KIRA That's a change. BAREIL When you had your first Orb experience... did you understand it? KIRA I don't know if anyone can fully understand an Orb experience -- not at first anyway. You have to live with it for a while... absorb it. BAREIL And then? KIRA And then one day it becomes a part of you... a part of who you are. BAREIL I thought I was going to get a glimpse into the future... but it was more than that. (half to himself) It changes you. (rubbing his head) There were so many images... I could hardly keep track of them all. (looking at Kira) He was there... Kira says nothing, but she suspects she knows who he's talking about. BAREIL (continuing) Vedek Bareil. We were together -- talking -- but it was all mixed up. I was him, he was me... it was very confusing. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT THREE 38. 41 CONTINUED: (2) KIRA I don't think we should be talking about this. BAREIL If I can't tell you about it -- who can I tell? KIRA No one. An Orb experience isn't meant to be shared. Bareil tries to grasp all this, rubs his head. BAREIL I feel like I could sleep for days. KIRA That's a pretty common reaction. You should get some rest. BAREIL I will. But Bareil has something else to say to Kira. BAREIL Nerys... Kira understands and doesn't need the words of gratitude. KIRA It's all right. I'll see you tomorrow. She leans over and kisses him. It's a tender, loving kiss. After a beat, Kira gets up and EXITS. We hold on Bareil. 42 INT. BAREIL'S QUARTERS Bareil ENTERS and sinks into a chair, leaning his head back, and closing his eyes. This is a deeply tired man. After a beat, we hear a voice from off screen: DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT THREE 39. 42 CONTINUED: INTENDANT I was wondering when you'd get back. Bareil's eyes pop open to find the INTENDANT, from the alternate universe, slide her black leather-encased body onto his lap. BAREIL What are you doing here? INTENDANT I know I'm early. But my curiosity got the better of me... (a beat) Besides, the thought of you pining away for me was too much to bear. She kisses him, passionately. INTENDANT Now, tell me... how's our little plan progressing? BAREIL Couldn't be better. We're right on schedule. INTENDANT That's what I was hoping to hear. And as she kisses him again, we: FADE OUT. END OF ACT THREE DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT FOUR 40. ACT FOUR FADE IN: 43 INT. BAREIL'S QUARTERS - CONTINUOUS As before. The Intendant is still curled up on Bareil's lap. INTENDANT I want you to tell me everything that's happened since you got here. BAREIL (sighing) Later. I'm too tired. Right now all I want to do is go to bed. INTENDANT Even better. BAREIL (annoyed) I said I was tired. INTENDANT (suspicious) You've never been tired before. BAREIL It's been a long day. Not satisfied with his answer, she pushes herself off his lap, and confronts him. INTENDANT I don't think you're pleased to see me. (suddenly smiling) It's her, isn't it? The major's gotten to you. BAREIL (with growing irritation) Don't be stupid. INTENDANT I'd be very disappointed if you didn't find the major... intoxicating. After all, she is me... DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT FOUR 41. 43 CONTINUED: INTENDANT (Cont'd) (a beat) Or the next best thing to me. So what do you think of her? BAREIL You're crazy. INTENDANT We already know what I'm like... (insistent) ... what about her? BAREIL I'm not going to discuss this. He gets up, heads for the bedroom. She stops him with a hand on his chest. INTENDANT (seductive) Please... I really want to know. BAREIL (the simple truth) She's... wonderful. The Intendant studies Bareil; she can see he means it. There are myriad reactions the Intendant could have -- and for a moment, its not clear which one she'll pick. INTENDANT I knew it. She shoves him away. INTENDANT She's too good for you. (only half joking) We both are. You're nothing but a petty thief. BAREIL I know what I am. The Intendant is disappointed by Bareil's failure to fight back. INTENDANT That's it? That's all you have to say? DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT FOUR 42. 43 CONTINUED: (2) BAREIL I told you -- I'm tired. INTENDANT (smiling) The major must be very -- BAREIL (cutting her off) It has nothing to do with the major. I looked into the orb today. INTENDANT You did? How very exciting. She propels him onto the couch and sits next to him -- prepared to hang on to his every word. INTENDANT How soon can we get our hands on it? BAREIL The Vedeks are holding a twenty- six hour vigil in the shrine. I can't get near the place until tomorrow night. The Orb is behind a forcefield keyed to a decryption matrix. INTENDANT Which you can bypass. BAREIL That's what thieves do. INTENDANT Today you're a thief, but tomorrow -- once we get our prize home -- you'll be "Bearer of the Orb." A holy man who'll unite the Bajoran people in a war against the Alliance. BAREIL (more to himself, seeing the irony) Just call me Vedek Bareil... DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT FOUR 43. 43 CONTINUED: (3) INTENDANT Think of it... power, wealth -- you'll be like a god. BAREIL You're putting a lot of faith in that Orb. INTENDANT And so will every other Bajoran. (looking at him with a smile) You and I are going to have so much fun. I can hardly wait. She looks to Bareil and sees his deep weariness. INTENDANT You do look tired. You should get some rest. Bareil nods and starts to rise from the couch -- but before he can get up, the Intendant grabs him by the hair and yanks his head back. INTENDANT And tomorrow -- when you see the major... She gives him a fierce, hard kiss, then releases him. INTENDANT (continuing) ... give her that kiss for me. He stares at her for a moment, thinks better of confronting her, and EXITS into the bedroom. We hold on the Intendant looking quite pleased. 44 EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL) Re-establishing. 45 INT. QUARK'S Normal crowd. A large portion of the customers are Bajoran and their attention is focused on the bar, where Bareil is seated, finishing a drink. As QUARK walks by, Bareil flags him down. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT FOUR 44. 45 CONTINUED: BAREIL One more. QUARK Coming right up. Quark reaches for a bottle and pours Bareil another drink. As he does, Bareil catches TWO BAJORANS down the bar staring at him. BAREIL (temper rising) What are you two staring at? The two Bajorans quickly look away. Bareil looks around the room. BAREIL The same goes for the rest of you. I'm not Vedek Bareil. I just want to be left alone. The other Bajoran customers go back about their business. QUARK You heard the man. Now leave him be. (to Bareil) I'm sorry about that. People can be so rude. You know I used to see the Vedek all the time, walking down the Promenade with Major Kira. Never came in here, though. I guess dabo wasn't his game. Quark studies Bareil for a beat. QUARK It is an amazing resemblance. Put you in a Vedek's robe and no one would know the difference. BAREIL Believe me, there's a difference. QUARK Not to the paying public. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT FOUR 45. 45 CONTINUED: (2) BAREIL (studying Quark) You've got a business proposition for me? Spit it out. To Quark, that's an invitation from a soulmate. QUARK (confidentially) Picture this. You seated here, wearing robes. A long line of Bajorans waiting patiently to pay good money just to meet Vedek Bareil... maybe touch his hand. BAREIL But like I said, I'm not Vedek Bareil. QUARK A mere technicality. You're the closest thing to Vedek Bareil that they're ever going to see, which is why they're going to love you. BAREIL I wouldn't know what to say to them. QUARK The less, the better. Just nod your head every once in a while and smile benignly. It's simple. Later on, once you get the hang of it, you might want to throw in a blessing or two. What do you think? BAREIL (shaking his head in weary disgust) I've known people like you my whole life. Nasty, greedy little minds... willing to do whatever it takes to make money. I know just how you think. QUARK That's because you think the same way. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT FOUR 46. 45 CONTINUED: (3) BAREIL (a beat; an admission) I suppose I'm a lot more like you than I'll ever be like Vedek Bareil. QUARK (hopeful) Perfect. Then we have a deal? Bareil gets up from his stool. BAREIL I'm afraid not. QUARK Why? BAREIL Because right now, I don't like either one of us. With that, he EXITS. We hold on a puzzled Quark. QUARK (to himself) Shame to see such a good opportunity go to waste. 46 INT. PROMENADE Bareil leaves Quark's. He's angry with the Ferengi and angry with himself. He stops short, confronted by -- 47 BAREIL'S POV of the Bajoran shrine. 48 CLOSE ON BAREIL feeling as if the shrine was sitting in judgment of his entire life. 49 INT. CARGO BAY Kira is taking inventory of a newly arrived shipment of cargo. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT FOUR 47. 50 ANGLE ON THE DOOR as Quark arrives with TWO FERENGI WAITERS and a cargo cart. We see a Starfleet SECURITY GUARD stationed outside. QUARK Major, any idea where they put my shipment of Saurian brandy? KIRA (indicating) Over there. QUARK (to the waiters) You heard her. The Ferengi waiters begin to load the crates onto the cart. Kira holds out her manifest PADD for Quark to sign with his thumbprint. QUARK Your new boyfriend came into my bar today. Kira's in a good mood and she refuses to allow Quark to change it. KIRA Did he. QUARK He's a little different, isn't he? KIRA From what? QUARK From some of your previous choices. Don't get me wrong, I had nothing against Vedek Bareil or Shakaar... but let's face it, they were a little too controlled... a little too controlling. They lacked fire... excitement. But this Bareil -- he's a different story. He's full of surprises. KIRA I take it you like him. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT FOUR 47A. 50 CONTINUED: QUARK Let's just say I like the idea of you with him. (a beat) But I'll tell you one thing, Major. You'd better brace yourself. You're in for a rough ride. KIRA What are you talking about? QUARK I've been a bartender a long time. I've seen all sorts of customers. Happy ones, sad ones, complicated ones... KIRA And Bareil -- where does he fit in? QUARK He's one of the... tormented ones. This actually gets Kira's attention, she looks over to Quark to see if he's kidding. He's not. KIRA Tormented? I don't think so. You've had an Orb experience, Quark -- you know what they're like. QUARK He had an Orb experience? Interesting. KIRA Meaning what? DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT FOUR 48. 50 CONTINUED: (2) QUARK After he left the bar, I saw him hanging around the Bajoran shrine. He must've been there a couple of hours. KIRA He has a lot on his mind -- he probably went there to think things over. QUARK (shrugs) Either that... or he was figuring out a way to rob the place. Quark turns to see that the Ferengi waiters have finished loading the cart and are waiting for him. QUARK What is this, a union meeting? Let's get moving. (over his shoulder) Nice chatting with you, major. I hope you two are very happy together. And with that, he EXITS. We HOLD ON an uneasy Kira, clearly disturbed by Quark's observations. 51 INT. BAREIL'S QUARTERS As a grim Bareil ENTERS to find the Intendant dressed in Major Kira's uniform, waiting for him. She still has her distinctive headband on, which she takes off, completing the illusion. INTENDANT Well? What do you think? BAREIL Even I'd have trouble telling you apart. INTENDANT Wearing the major's clothes... it feels so intimate. The Intendant approaches Bareil, putting her arms around him. INTENDANT Admit it -- you've never found me more exciting. It's like having the best of both worlds. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT FOUR 49. 51 CONTINUED: Bareil disengages himself from her grasp. BAREIL Let's try and stay focused, all right? We both have jobs to do. INTENDANT You're right, we'll celebrate later. Did you get the combadges? Bareil takes out a pair of combadges. INTENDANT Such nimble fingers... Bareil puts one on his shirt and hands the other to the Intendant. The Intendant places the combadge on her uniform. INTENDANT Contact me as soon as you have the Orb. BAREIL (nods) Right. INTENDANT You are going to look so good wearing a crown. And as she smiles with anticipation, she kisses him passionately. And we: FADE OUT. END OF ACT FOUR DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT FIVE 50. ACT FIVE FADE IN: 52 INT. BAJORAN SHRINE - NIGHT Bareil ENTERS. The place is empty and dark, except for the glow emanating from the Orb chamber. Bareil approaches the chamber security panel and begins to bypass the protocols. 53 INT. DOCKING RING CORRIDOR The Intendant approaches a cargo bay door. She spots the Starfleet Security Guard at his post. INTENDANT Everything quiet? SECURITY GUARD Yes, major. INTENDANT Good. Carry on. She takes a few steps to go past the Guard into the cargo bay, but he stops her. SECURITY GUARD I'm sorry, but I need your level six authorization code. INTENDANT Is that really necessary? SECURITY GUARD It's the new protocol... (by way of explanation) ... the war. INTENDANT Of course. Suddenly, the Intendant winces with pain. SECURITY GUARD Is everything all right? DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT FIVE 51. 53 CONTINUED: INTENDANT (rubbing her shoulder) I must've pulled a muscle exercising in the holosuites. It's been bothering me all day. (as if getting an idea) Would you mind massaging my shoulders? The Guard is a bit uncomfortable with the idea, but before he can answer, the Intendant has eased over to him, practically burying her back in his chest. INTENDANT (playful) I could make it an order... The Guard begins to gently message her shoulder. The Intendant gives in to the feeling, closing her eyes. INTENDANT A little harder, please. (enjoying herself) Such strong hands... if only we had some warm Somata oil... that would be nice, don't you think? SECURITY GUARD I guess... Suddenly, the Intendant drives her elbow into the Guard's stomach, pivots and gives him a blow to the back of his neck. He's out cold. INTENDANT You have a lot to learn about giving a massage.. 54 INT. CARGO BAY The Intendant drags the Guard's unconscious body into the bay, stashing him behind some cargo. She then moves over to the transporter pad, takes out the multidimensional transporter device and starts working on the console. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT FIVE 52. 55 INT. BAJORAN SHRINE Bareil taps in a final code into the security panel. He then crosses over and puts his hand on the scanner, which activates. After a beat, the forcefield FRITZES OFF. A thoughtful Bareil then steps up to the Orb box and gently rubs his hand over it. From out of his pocket, he takes out a handle-like device with suction cups on each end. He places the device on top of the Orb box, clicking it into place. KIRA (O.S.) What's that old saying? Bareil turns to see -- 56 KIRA ENTERING the shrine. KIRA Once a thief... Bareil mistakes her for the Intendant. BAREIL What are you doing here? KIRA (angry, taking out her phaser) The question is what are you doing here? BAREIL (realizing who she is) Nerys... (a beat) ... how'd you know? KIRA I didn't. You had me completely fooled. The thief in search of redemption... who could resist that? Obviously, not me. (a beat) Luckily, Quark didn't fall for your little act. Step down from the altar. BAREIL I wish I could do that, Nerys. But I can't... DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT FIVE 53. 56 CONTINUED: Bareil places a hand on the box handle he applied. BAREIL I've come too far. KIRA Then you've come a long way for nothing. INTENDANT (O.S.) Nerys... you look as beautiful as ever. Kira turns to see -- 57 ANGLE ON THE DOOR as the Intendant ENTERS, holding a phaser on Kira. 57A CLOSE ON KIRA as she reacts to seeing the Intendant. This is something she didn't expect, and it makes Bareil's betrayal even more painful. Bareil steps over to Kira and takes the phaser from her. After a beat, Kira regains her composure -- hiding any sign of vulnerability. KIRA (to Bareil) You're full of surprises, aren't you? INTENDANT It's only fair -- you had your Bareil, I have mine. BAREIL (to the Intendant) You're suppose to be waiting for me at the transporter pad. INTENDANT (holding up the multi- dimensional control) Don't worry, I have the transporter keyed to this (TECH). All I have to do is tap this key and we're on our way home. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT FIVE 53A. 57A CONTINUED: INTENDANT (Cont'd) (to Kira) Besides, I couldn't leave without saying hello to myself. (to Bareil) The transporter sensors showed you weren't alone in the shrine. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT FIVE 54-54A. 57A CONTINUED: (2) INTENDANT (Cont'd) (to Kira) I was hoping it would be you, Nerys. Bareil is smart... but you're smarter. We really are alike, aren't we? KIRA (to Bareil) You can't let her have the Orb. It's too dangerous. INTENDANT Stop wasting your breath. Antos and I are a team. We're destined to do great things together... Bareil is clearly uncomfortable under Kira's gaze. BAREIL If we're going, let's go. KIRA (to Bareil) You don't have to do this. NTENDANT Isn't that sweet. She's still trying to save your soul. But of course, you don't have one... BAREIL (to Kira) She's right. I'm not worth saving. KIRA You sound pretty certain of that. INTENDANT (to Kira) Look at him -- look at him closely. It's important that you see him for what he truly is. Kira looks over at Bareil and when she speaks, it's with strong conviction. KIRA I do. (to Bareil) So you were just using me to get to the Orb... is that what I'm supposed to believe? DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT FIVE 55. 57A CONTINUED: (3) BAREIL Believe anything you want. INTENDANT Please, Nerys, don't embarrass yourself... you made a mistake. You allowed Bareil to make a fool of you. That's bad enough... don't make it worse by denying what's happened. Accept it and move on. KIRA Why should I? It's not true. (to Bareil) You know that as well as I do. You may have come here for the Orb, but you found something else. INTENDANT And people say I have a large ego. (to Bareil) Tell her, Antos. Tell her how you used her... that everything you told her was a lie. That every time you touched her -- all you could think about was me... 57B ON BAREIL (OPTICAL) as he turns to the Intendant and stuns her with a PHASER BLAST. 57C WIDER as Kira and Bareil stare at the Intendant for a beat, then look to each other. BAREIL When she wakes up, I'm going to have a lot of explaining to do. KIRA And if you don't have the Orb... she'll kill you. BAREIL Maybe. (smiling) That'll certainly be her first reaction. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT FIVE 56. 57C CONTINUED: BAREIL (Cont'd) But I've talked my way back into her good graces before. I'll be all right. KIRA I guess this is good-bye. Bareil nods; resigned to this fate. BAREIL It's for the best. (a beat) You know what I saw when I looked into the Orb? You and me. Together... on Bajor. We had a life. A family. KIRA What's wrong with that? BAREIL Nothing. It might even work for a while... but eventually, I'd find some way to ruin it. (with finality) I'm a thief. (looking over at the Intendant) I belong with her. KIRA (simply) Then you should go. And with that, Bareil nods slightly and steps over to the Intendant and picks up the multidimensional transporter control. 57D ANOTHER ANGLE (OPTICAL) as Kira and Bareil look at each other one last time. The moment hangs in the air, then Bareil taps the control and he and the Intendant DEMATERIALIZE. DEEP SPACE NINE: "Resurrection" - REV. 10/22/97 - ACT FIVE 57-58. 58 OMITTED 59 CLOSE ON KIRA as she stares at where Bareil was standing. And on that moment, we: 60 and OMITTED 61 FADE OUT. END OF ACT FIVE THE END
