Summary

Teaser

The Dominion fleet enters the Alpha Quadrant through the wormhole. The USS Defiant (nether the command of Major Kira), Dukat'southward Bird-of-Casualty and the station's two remaining runabouts ready to have on the fleet, only for it to not attack Deep Infinite nine; it instead heads directly for Cardassian space.

Dukat'due south Bird-of-Prey breaks off from the Defiant and starts to follow the Dominion fleet. Kira, thinking Dukat is trying to exist a hero, tells him to return to the germination but Dukat clarifies that he isn't chasing the fleet… he's joining it. He then reveals a startling fact: over the last few months, he has been conducting secret negotiations and, equally of a week earlier, the Cardassian Union has officially become members of the Dominion. He then bids farewell to Kira, wryly noting that the two of them beingness on the aforementioned side never seemed right. He then makes a getaway before the Defiant tin destroy his transport.

Human activity 1

The prisoners are gathered for an declaration

Worf, Bashir, Garak, and Martok programme their escape from Internment Camp 371. Bashir tells the group that Garak, a man of many subconscious talents, is their only hope to reconfigure the transmitter to contact the runabout and beam them out. The prisoners in Internment Military camp 371 are gathered together. The prison's commanding Vorta, Deyos, announces that Cardassia has joined the Dominion and, consequently, all the Cardassians imprisoned at 371 are existence released… with the exception of Garak. When Garak demands to know why he is not being released, Deyos explains that this is because he is non popular with the new caput of the Cardassian government; who is none other than Gul Dukat.

Dukat shortly makes his first circulate as leader to the people of Cardassia, while Sisko and the others sentinel on DS9. Dukat promises to remove and kill all Klingons and Maquis from inside Cardassian space, too as anyone else who gets in the way of Cardassia's return to a position of prominence in the Alpha Quadrant.

The senior staff discuss the situation. The wormhole's entrance, rather than existence sealed, has at present been strengthened to the indicate that it tin can never exist collapsed, not fifty-fifty with trilithium explosives. Between this and the sudden disappearance of an Bajoran engineering officer, Changeling interest is suggested by none other than by the Julian Bashir Changeling. With this, he is authorized past Sisko to begin blood screenings.

Act Ii

While Garak works within a tight space side by side to their cell to contact their runabout's transporter, Worf is coerced into a serial of hand-to-hand battles with Jem'Hadar warriors, beginning with the youngest and virtually inexperienced.

Back in the Alpha Quadrant, Kira and Ziyal talk on the Promenade, discussing the duplicitous deportment of her father, Dukat.

A battered Klingon fleet led past Chancellor Gowron unexpectedly arrives at DS9 – the newly arrived Dominion armada has quickly turned the tide of the Klingon-Cardassian War in favor of the Cardassians, and the incensed Gowron is fix to plunge the Klingon Empire into a fight to the decease with the Dominion. Sisko suggests to Gowron that the Khitomer Accords exist revived for the sake of bolstering their forces for the coming conflict. Gowron accedes. Later, the Bashir Changeling successfully sneaks aboard the runabout USS Yukon and begins making modifications to the runabout'south panel.

Deed Three

Worf continues fighting the Jem'Hadar and kills the final one of five, earning awe and admiration from Martok. Once back in the cell, Bashir treats Worf and states that he has three or four broken ribs. The Doctor recommends that Worf stop fighting, but Worf refuses.

Garak is still working inside the tight space, talking to himself, and seems to be losing his mind. The others hear strange noises coming from within the infinite. When the Jem'Hadar guards laissez passer the cell, the prisoners hurriedly shut off the ability, plunging the enclosed space into darkness. When the guards have gone, Bashir enters the space and pulls Garak out. For the next several hours, he lies on his bunk, unmoving, staring straight alee. Bashir grimly states that Garak'southward claustrophobia has overcome him, and they volition be unable to try contacting the runabout.

The staff aboard DS9 is waiting for reinforcements. Kira enters Ops and states that the security blocks of one of the industrial replicators on Level 17 was overridden and the retentivity core has been wiped so they don't know what was replicated. Sisko orders that Odo increase security and if he needs more than men to enquire Chancellor Gowron to assign additional Klingon troops. Sisko is contacted by Gul Dukat, who has been declared the caput of the new Cardassian government. Dukat recommends that the Federation join the Dominion, which Sisko says no to. Dukat so explains how he swore that all Cardassia had lost would be regained and lays claim to DS9 since it was built past Cardassia and gives Sisko an ultimatum: either he surrenders the station, or Dukat will take information technology by strength. Sisko tells him he is more than welcome to try and terminates communications.

Human action Four

Martok assists Worf back to the cell, returning from his seventh hand-to-hand victory. Bashir patches him up as best as he tin can, while Martok pledges to commission an epic vocal almost Worf'south trials. Bashir asks the General to be certain to ship him a copy, and Martok says he tin can do better: he can ensure Bashir is commemorated too, every bit "the healer that bound the warrior's wounds so he could fight once more!" Worf wryly remarks that the only function of the song he wants to hear is the function that tells of their escape. Bashir grows grave as he says that, with Garak out of activeness, they need to come upwards with a new plan.

To everyone's surprise, Garak rises from his bunk and cheerfully says that won't be necessary; he has no intention of appearing in Martok's song as "the Cardassian who panicked in the face of danger." He's rested plenty, and it's time for him to get dorsum to work inside his "dungeon". As he ducks into the cramped space once more, the two Klingon warriors look on with respect, both of them knowing that it takes true courage to confront ane'southward ain worst fears.

The Julian Bashir Changeling and O'Brien talk in the infirmary. O'Brien is shocked when Bashir talks excitedly about having purchased duridium blend darts at a fourth dimension like this, just does not suspect that Bashir is a Changeling.

Worf, back at the gainsay surface area, is waiting for his side by side opponent, when Deyos and the Jem'Hadar First, Ikat'ika, arrive instead. Ikat'ika announces that he will fight Worf himself.

Meanwhile, Garak is back in the crawlspace when Jem'Hadar soldiers come in the cell looking for him. They find the tool that was used to open the panel to the space where Garak is.

Sisko orders Kira and Dax to the Defiant for the pending battle and deploys the runabouts. The Julian Bashir Changeling is on the runabout USS Yukon and responds to Ops in a female voice, having already incapacitated the original crew. O'Brien announces that a build up of tachyon particles has been detected, and ships brainstorm decloaking around the station… Romulan ships. The Romulans request permission to join the armada; Sisko, while quite surprised, grants their request.

Kira, on the Defiant, states that the Cardassian-Rule fleet is merely ten minutes away.

Act Five

Bashir tries to bluff the Jem'Hadar soldier near the tool by flippantly saying "it's either a self-sealing stalk bolt or a reverse-ratcheting router". Non convinced, the soldier vaporizes a Romulan prisoner so threatens to kill some other if Bashir continues to lie. Before the leader tin kill Bashir for his insolence, some other soldier figures out the tool's use.

In the ring, Worf is losing the fight against Ikat'ika, and tin barely stand. When he is knocked downward notwithstanding again, Martok urges him to yield, insisting that "laurels has been satisfied."

Garak is close to being discovered when a Breen prisoner grabs the plasma pistol from the holster of a Jem'Hadar who had his back turned, and vaporizes 2 of the guards, though the second manages to vaporize him as well. Bashir and the Romulan prisoner kill the remaining guards with makeshift knives, and catch their weapons, urging Garak to consummate his piece of work earlier Jem'Hadar reinforcements tempest into the cell.

In the ring, Worf is clearly beaten, just withal refuses to yield. Every bit he crawls on his belly towards the post, even Ikat'ika tries to dissuade him from standing, saying that Worf proven his worth. Merely Worf still refuses to yield, and Deyos orders the gainsay finished. Instead Ikat'ika steps back and yields the match, announcing that he may be able to kill Worf, only he cannot defeat him, which no longer interests him. Deyos orders them both executed.

Just as the guards raise their weapons, Garak succeeds in activating his makeshift communicator, and the runabout immediately energizes its transporter, beaming all the prisoners away; as the guards open fire, Ikat'ika is vaporized past a plasma bolt, but Worf is beamed away a split up second before the weapons fire impacts him.

Aboard the runabout, Garak immediately lays in an escape class, while Martok and Bashir assist a badly-injured Worf to one of the cabins in the back. Before going, Worf makes certain to tell the Cardassian that he "did well," and Garak returns the compliment. The crew and then fix a grade back to the station at maximum warp.

Back on DS9, anybody is confused by the lack of an attacking fleet contrary to the sensor readings. Suddenly, they get a priority one bulletin from the real Bashir in the Gamma Quadrant. Sisko chop-chop realizes that the Bashir they've been dealing with was the Changeling and chop-chop discerns that he left aboard the runabout Yukon. He and then contacts the Defiant and orders Kira to destroy the runabout no thing the price.

The USS *Defiant* tractors the USS *Yukon*

Kira and Dax determine that the Changeling has rigged the Yukon with trilithium, tekasite, and protomatter, which if detonated inside the Bajoran sun, would induce a supernova, destroying Bajor, DS9, and the combined Klingon, Romulan, and Federation fleets in one fell swoop. The Defiant warps toward the sunday and tractors the Yukon away merely in fourth dimension to preclude the supernova. It dives off into free space and explodes, killing the Changeling and incapacitated crew still aboard.

The sensor readings of the Dominion fleet suddenly vanish. Sisko realizes that the whole incident was a plot to lure the combined fleets of the Alpha Quadrant's superpowers to the Bajoran system and then accident them all up together with Bajor and Deep Space nine. Still the plan failed and "Armageddon volition have to await… for another 24-hour interval."

"*Ziyal? I told you I'd exist back.*"
"*I never doubted information technology.*"

At Quark's, Garak and Ziyal emotionally reunite, as do Dax and Worf in the hospital. Meanwhile, Chief O'Brien is baffled to realize he has been hanging around with a Changeling for the last four weeks. He tells the real Bashir (who is now cleaned up) that he should have known something was upward with his Changeling replacement, "he was a lot easier to get along with."

On the second level of the Promenade, Gowron signs the final version of the new treaty between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, which includes a permanent Klingon war machine presence on DS9. Sisko is given the right to choose the commander himself, and considering Worf and Martok's mutual admiration, he asks the general if he'd be upwardly for the job, which he gladly accepts.

Dukat then contacts Sisko to congratulate him on preventing mass destruction. Sisko points out that Ziyal would take died along with them if the bomb had gone off in the Bajoran sun, but the new leader of Cardassia does not seem to be bothered, proverb that she fabricated her selection, and that he no longer considers her his girl. Dukat tells Sisko that he may have escaped defeat today, but tomorrow… "Nosotros will see about tomorrow", the helm interrupts.

"Yes, we volition," Dukat replies, ending the transmission.

- Deyos, to the Cardassian prisoners – Mind to this quote ^file info

"Non y'all, Mr. Garak."
"Excuse me?"
"You're staying."
"Well, there must be some misunderstanding. The last time I checked, I was a Cardassian."
"But not a very pop ane, I'yard agape. At least not with the head of the new Cardassian government."
"And who would that be?"
"Gul Dukat."

- Deyos and Garak – Listen to this quote ^file info

"You lot might ask, 'Should we fear joining the Dominion?' And I reply you, 'Non in the least. Nosotros should embrace the opportunity.' The Dominion recognizes us for what nosotros are: the true leaders of the Alpha Quadrant. And now that nosotros are joined together, equal partners in all endeavors, the just people with anything to fearfulness will exist our enemies. My oldest son'due south birthday is in v days. To him, and to Cardassians everywhere, I make the following pledge: by the time his birthday dawns, there will not be a single Klingon alive within Cardassian territory, or a single Maquis colony left within our borders. Cardassia will be fabricated whole. All that we accept lost will exist ours once more. And anyone who stands in our mode will be destroyed. This I vow with my life's blood. For my son… for all our sons."

- Gul Dukat's oral communication to all of Cardassia – Mind to this quote ^file info

"Today, we train against a worthy adversary. Observe. Clarify. Call back. Soon, nosotros will face his people in combat. The lessons y'all learn here will ensure victory. Victory is life!!"

- Ikat'ika

"I go along hoping the wormhole will open. That Garak's runabout will come up through and everything will be all correct again."
"Possibly it will."
"My begetter says Garak's dead."
"Right at present, I wouldn't believe your father if he said pelting was moisture."
"I used to think my father was a hero. That even when he did something bad, he had a proficient reason."
"Everyone has their reasons. That'due south what's so frightening. People can find a fashion to justify any action, no matter how evil."
"You think my male parent is evil?"
"I recollect… you can't judge people by what they think… or say… only by what they exercise."

- Ziyal and Kira

"The Khitomer Accords? The treaty between the Federation and the Klingon Empire is dead."
"Just we can bring information technology dorsum to life again. This is the nearly fortified position between hither and the Klingon Empire. There will be a Starfleet task force here soon. If you could bring your fleet here…"
"And then nosotros could stand united against the Rule. And if nosotros practice…"
"We might have a chance."

- Gowron, Benjamin Sisko and the Julian Bashir Changeling

"Think of it. V years agone, no i had ever heard of Bajor or Deep Space 9 and at present… all our hopes rest here. Where the tides of fortune take us, no man tin know."

"Klingons helping to protect Deep Space 9 – what an interesting concept."
"These are interesting times, Major."

- Kira and Sisko

"You expect us to join the Dominion?"

"By assuasive it to exist under Dominion dominion? No, thank you."
"I'grand afraid you'll like the culling fifty-fifty less."

- Sisko and Dukat, on joining the Dominion

"Dukat, if y'all have something to say to me, say information technology!"
"Then I'll make information technology elementary. A few days ago, I swore all Cardassia lost would be regained. That space station you lot're so fond of was built by Cardassia."
"Funny. I thought it was congenital by Bajoran slave labor."
"Either surrender the station, or I'll take it by strength. The pick is yours."
"If you desire to retake the station, Dukat, you're welcome to try."

- Sisko and Dukat

"The Jem'Hadar don't eat, don't beverage and they don't have sex… and if that wasn't bad enough, the Founders don't consume, don't drinkable and they don't have sex activity either, which, between y'all and me, makes my financial time to come less than promising."
"It might not be so bad. For all nosotros know the Vorta could exist gluttonous, alcoholic sex maniacs."

- Quark and Tora Ziyal

"After all, a verse about 'the Cardassian who panicked in the face of danger' would ruin General Martok's song. Now if you'll excuse me, my dungeon awaits."

- Garak, leaving to face up the crawlspace again

"There is no greater enemy than one's ain fears."
"It takes a dauntless man to face them."

- Martok and Worf, equally Garak returns to piece of work in his "dungeon."

"Fascinating. Even after all he'south been through, the Klingon still thirsts for battle. Doesn't he ever tire of it?"
"I never do."
"You fight considering that is what you lot were designed to exercise. All that motivates him is some barbaric sense of honor."
"And that is something you will never understand."

- Deyos and Ikat'ika, on Worf

"Victory is life."
"Today is a good twenty-four hour period to die."

- Ikat'ika and Worf, comparing worldviews

"Tain, I don't know if you can hear me, but if y'all tin, I merely want you to know, y'all may not have been much of a begetter, but I really wish you were live right now. That way, you lot could be in here, instead of me."

"I'll exist damned. Permission granted."

- Sisko and O'Brien, when a armada of Romulan ships get in

"And you lot fifty-fifty never suspected it wasn't me?"
"No! And the worst part is, the clues were correct in front of me!"
"What clues?"
"Well, for ane thing, he was a lot easier to get along with."

- O'Brien and Bashir

"Well, Helm, I must congratulate you lot. If that protomatter device had gone off inside the sunday, well, the decease toll would accept been enormous."
"And your daughter would've been one of the casualties."
"Ziyal made her option. Equally far as I'thou concerned, she is no longer my daughter."
"You lot know, Dukat, I idea you'd inverse in the concluding five years. I see I was wrong."
"One man's villain is some other homo's hero, Captain. Yous should see the monument they're erecting in my honor at the gateway to the Imperial Plaza."
"Is that why you sold out your people to the Dominion? For a monument?!"
"What I did, I did to brand Cardassia strong once more. And mark my words, Captain, I've succeeded. Y'all may have escaped defeat this solar day, just tomorrow…"
"We will see virtually tomorrow."
"Aye, we will."

- Dukat and Sisko

Background data

Story and script

Garak'south office and actions in this episode are similar to Charles Bronson's in the 1963 John Sturges flick The Cracking Escape. Both men were forced to work in a bars area and both suffered from claustrophobia. It is also worth noting that Andrew Robinson himself suffers from mild claustrophobia, and on the twenty-four hours the crawl space scenes were shot, he was suffering from the flu. He says of these scenes, "I didn't accept to human action. I was at that place." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion (p. 427))
Robert Hewitt Wolfe based the depiction of an economically depressed Cardassia on the brink of cultural plummet on the Weimar Republic, the government of Germany between the ii World Wars, from 1919 to 1933. The Dominion'southward takeover of the Cardassian Union was also inspired by the Anschluss, where the Austrian National Socialist Party, after gaining control of that country's government, invited Nazi Germany to send in their military machine forces and effectively blot the country. (Star Expedition: Deep Space 9 Companion (p. 427))
This episode ends the process of depicting the character of Gul Dukat in a more sympathetic lite, a process which began in "The Maquis, Part Two" and was carried on in episodes such every bit "Ceremonious Defense force", "Defiant", "The Way of the Warrior", "Indiscretion", "Return to Grace", and "Apocalypse Rising". Ever since "The Maquis, Part 2", Dukat'due south role equally a clear-cut villain had been rendered more and more than ambiguous, especially in the aforementioned iii episodes from the fourth season. Whereas the graphic symbol had initially been introduced equally a typical bad guy, it seemed that the writers were on form to completely turn him around, and somewhen have him as a protagonist. All the same, according to both Ira Steven Behr and Robert Hewitt Wolfe, they had ever intended Dukat's alter of heart to be temporary, and they always knew, even when writing episodes like "Defiant", that somewhere down the route he would prove everybody just how truly evil he really was. As Behr explains, they never had whatsoever intention of turning Dukat into a skillful guy; "Dukat is a self-deluded, opportunistic, egomaniacal sadist. In other words he is the Richard Nixon of Deep Infinite Nine. He volition practise any it takes to come out on elevation." (Star Trek: Deep Space Ix Companion (p. 427))
Regarding how the transporter identified the escapees, Ronald D. Moore commented: "I think that Garak programmed the transporter to axle out anyone who wasn't a Jem'Hadar or a Vorta within a given area." (AOL chat, 1997)

Reception

Although both this episode and "In Purgatory's Shadow" were extremely popular with viewers, the producers were a little disappointed with how the ii-parter turned out. Every bit Ira Steven Behr explains, "I'm not sure if this worked as well as information technology could have as a two-parter. It might accept been ameliorate as a two-60 minutes block. Or even as a ninety-infinitesimal show. We didn't really gain anything by splitting them up. The second hour moves like a house on burn. Events are happening at such an accelerated pace. If we'd had the hour or forty-5-minute buildup immediately precede it, I'd take liked it better." (Star Trek: Deep Space Ix Companion (p. 426))

Trivia

This episode deals with two major story arcs which had originally been introduced in previous episodes:

The Klingon War, which began in "The Way of the Warrior" and was seen throughout flavor 4, is officially ended by Gowron when he re-signs the Khitomer Accords and once over again allies the Klingon Empire with the Federation. Likewise of import in this arc is the presence of Full general Martok, who was presumed dead subsequently the revelation that he had been replaced by a Changeling in "Apocalypse Rising".
The Dominion War, which had existed in a country of cold war since the second season finale "The Jem'Hadar", becomes a more than urgent matter with the advocacy of the Dominion fleet into the Alpha Quadrant and Dukat'due south conclusion to have Cardassia get a member.

This episode marks the second time that Bashir has been replaced by a Changeling, the start existence "The Adversary".
There are a great number of references to previous episodes: Worf's want to fight a Jem'Hadar, as revealed in "To the Death", is here realized; the Rule fleet heading towards Bajor merely and then turning and moving towards Cardassia confirms Sisko'due south vision of locusts in "Rapture"; Dukat'south reference to himself and Kira being on the same side refers to "Indiscretion" and "Render to Grace"; the references to Cardassian cultural depression and economic stagnation, and Dukat's promise to eliminate all Klingon troops in Cardassian territory, recalls the events of "The Manner of the Warrior"; Dukat's reference to Sisko saving his life more once refers to the episodes "The Maquis, Part II", where Sisko rescues Dukat from the Maquis, and "The Way of the Warrior", in which Sisko helps Dukat escape Cardassia before the Klingon fleet arrives.
This episode shows the audience the third 'honorable' Jem'Hadar Beginning: Ikat'ika. The first Start was Goran'Agar in the episode "Hippocratic Adjuration". The 2nd was Omet'iklan in "To the Death". Others would include Remata'Klan in "Rocks and Shoals" and Ixtana'Rax in "One Little Ship".
The seemingly strange decision on the part of the Jem'Hadar to get out the runabout orbiting Internment Camp 371 would be addressed past Luther Sloan of Section 31 in the episode "Inquisition", though information technology does non explain the Dominion'south reason for doing so.
In the episode "The Homecoming", information technology was established that a runabout'due south transporter can simply beam up two subjects at a time. That limitation was overcome by this episode, as the runabout was able to beam upward far more than two; still, there has been no onscreen explanation as to how. Information technology is also possible that but 2 people were transported at a fourth dimension, and the way in which the sequence was cutting made it appear they were transported simultaneously. We run across Garak transported, followed past Worf and Martok, and finally by Bashir and the Romulan prisoner. When Bashir and the Romulan materialize on the runabout yet, Garak is standing at the flight controls, and Worf and Martok are standing off to the side of the transporter, and all 3 are already fully materialized. Information technology's possible that Garak simply programmed the runabout to transport himself aboard, then beamed upward Worf and Martok as before long as he was aboard, followed by Bashir and the Romulan.
Worf is shot during transport in the same manner in which Hayes was killed in "Inaugural", and however he seemed unaffected. Either 24th century transporters take been improved over their 22nd century counterparts to shield people from that kind of damage, or Worf was further forth in the send process and there was less of him even so there to take harm.
Dax is hesitant most jumping to warp inside the Bajoran star organization. In Star Trek: The Motility Picture , Captain Kirk had to risk jumping to warp inside Earth's solar system to intercept 5'ger every bit soon every bit possible.
The shots of Dukat addressing the Cardassian people on viewscreens are modified from "Tribunal", with Dukat's image replacing that of Chief Archon Makbar.
Dukat's line to Ziyal at the terminate of "In Purgatory'southward Shadow", "stay here and be damned!", paralleled Kang in "Blood Oath". This episode reveals that, like Kang, he was hiding the fact that he was collaborating with the enemy. Unlike Kang, he does non redeem himself in the remaining hour.
Rene Auberjonois (Odo) and Cirroc Lofton (Jake Sisko) do not appear in this episode. Though Odo is mentioned by Kira when she tells Sisko about the saboteur overrode the security blocks on the industrial replicator, and once again by Sisko when he orders security to be increased.
Ikat'ika is the just named Jem'Hadar to appear in more than one episode.
The Romulans join the Federation and Klingons near Deep Space 9 to protect the station from the Dominion. The appearance of the Romulans foreshadow their eventual alliance with the Federation and Klingon Empire during the Dominion War.
