Stardate 47282.5 Quark (Armin Shimerman) is almost killed by a mysterious assassin when a beautiful Bajoran woman (Katherine Moffat) hires him to locate a strong box hidden on the station. While Dr. Bashir (Siddig El Fadil) tends to the Ferengi's wounds, Odo (René Auberjonois) questions witnesses and learns of a list of Bajoran names found inside the box. In a series of powerful flashbacks, he recalls that five years earlier, when the station was under Cardassian control, he investigated a murder for which Kira (Nana Visitor) was the prime suspect. Somehow, he knows the two cases are connected, but finding the truth could cost him dearly. |
