"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
