But I'm afraid it's the only shot Odo has. 91 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,680 - Can't sleep? - No. 92 00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:35,840 - How did you get in? - The lock isn't that complex. 93 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,760 What are you doing up? 94 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,560 I was testing the Breen weapon. 95 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,800 I was trying to read, but I kept reading the same page over and over again. 96 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,920 What were you reading? 97 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,040 "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

He's playing games with you. 144 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,960 He doesn't have a wife and children to worry about. 145 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,800 But if something were to happen to me... 146 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:29,000 What? They'd be killed? I'm disappointed in you, Sloan. 147 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,320 You don't usually wield such a blunt instrument. 148 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,240 So am I supposed to guess what's going on 149 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,480 or do I lay here in terror waiting for you to tell me? 150 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,600 I told you what's going on. 151 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,080 You're going to help me find a cure for Odo's disease. 152 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,400 What makes you think I know it? 153 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,080 You came here because you thought I'd discovered a cure 154 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,440 and you wanted to destroy it. 155 00:13:54,560 --> 00:13:57,560 But first you'd have to find it in my lab. 156 00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:01,240 You'd have to know exactly what you were looking for. 157 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,000 You call that reasoning? 158 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,000 If I wanted to eliminate your work, I'd just destroy your lab. 159 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:13,320 Oh, no, Sloan. That would be too sloppy. You like surgical precision. 160 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,720 You came here to destroy the cure, 161 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,000 so somewhere in your brain is the information I want. 162 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:26,400 - You really expect me to tell you? - No. I expect you to resist to the end. 163 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,160 We're ready. 164 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,040 Remember these? Romulan mind probes. 165 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,440 They're not the most pleasant of devices, but they're efficient. 166 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,200 They're also illegal in the Federation. 167 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,880 I hope you can appreciate the irony of that statement. 168 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,120 I don't know anything about the cure. 169 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,240 Then I won't find anything. 170 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:59,160 - If Sisko finds out what you're doing... - He knows.

I thought you were just a misguided idealist. 175 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,360 But you're a dangerous man. 176 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:29,320 People like you would destroy the Federation if given a chance. 177 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:34,080 Fortunately there are people like me who will die to protect it. 178 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:43,240 Damn! He's trying to kill himself! He's activated a neuro-depolarising device. 179 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,880 I have to stabilise him. 180 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,920 - If he dies... - The cure for Odo dies with him. 181 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,840 - What's the verdict? - He's stable for now. 182 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,200 But the neuro-depolariser did damage his brain. 183 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,280 His higher cortical functions will fail within the next hour. 184 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:16,560 He committed suicide just to prevent us finding the cure. 185 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,120 We had him cornered and he knew it. 186 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:25,680 He couldn't let one of Section 31's darkest secrets get away from him. 187 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,320 The cure is still in there somewhere. 188 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,040 This might sound a bit morbid, 189 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,920 but what if you used the Romulan mental probes now? 190 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:39,680 His memory pathways are scrambled to prevent someone from doing just that. 191 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,000 There has to be a way to retrieve that data. 192 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,200 Maybe we should just let him die in peace. 193 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,760 Miles, I need a multitronic engrammatic interpreter. 194 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,280 Or maybe I'll find you a multitronic engrammatic interpreter. 195 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,960 This is crazy. 196 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,080 It will work. 197 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,760 You have me re-routing so many power relays and transfer coils 198 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,800 I can't guarantee this will work without running diagnostics. 199 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,120 I've already done the diagnostics in my head. 200 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:25,960 The neural interface will provide a basic pattern to my hippocampal nuclei. 201 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:30,360 I give up. You've explained it three times and I still don't get it. 202 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,840 You just have to trust me, Chief. I know what I'm doing. 203 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:40,120 Even if you can link minds with Sloan, how will you find the cure? 204 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:45,280 Everything will be processed into images that my mind can comprehend. 205 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,920 In essence, I'll see the neuronal pathways in his brain 206 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,960 as literal pathways or streets or corridors or something. 207 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:58,680 And you'll wander along these streets looking for a box labelled "the cure"? 208 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,640 It may be just that simple. Or it may be more surrealistic. 209 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,760 I may wind up in memories of Sloan's childhood. 210 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:12,360 Will he be aware of what you're doing? 211 00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:15,600 I won't know that until I'm there. 212 00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:22,600 We don't know what the conscious mind can perceive this close to death. 213 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,080 How will you get out? 214 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,880 Being genetically enhanced, I can control my vital signs. 215 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:38,200 When I want to get out, I'll raise my blood pressure 40%. 216 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,680 The equipment will break the link. 217 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:47,040 What if you get disoriented or lost in a nightmare of Sloan's and he dies? 218 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:52,560 Worst case scenario, I die with him. But I think it's a manageable risk. 219 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,000 - I'm going with you. - What? 220 00:18:56,120 --> 00:18:58,600 You heard me. And it's not open to debate. 221 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:04,640 If you're going on this lunatic mission, somebody sane has to be with you. 222 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,080 You just don't want Captain Sisko to find out what we're doing. 223 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,520 - There's that, too. - I'd better get another bed. 224 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,960 How long have we got? 225 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,880 Sloan's brain will die in about 43 minutes. 226 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,920 We have that long to get in, find the cure and get out. 227 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,680 The analyser is on-line. Are you ready? 228 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:36,280 No. But let's do it anyway. 229 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,800 - Julian? - Miles. 230 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,840 - Why are we in a turbolift? - I'm not sure. 231 00:19:57,120 --> 00:20:01,760 - I don't remember getting in here. - We're in Sloan's mind. Remember? 232 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,520 Sloan. 233 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,840 But we're really still in the lab. 234 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,680 Yes. This turbolift is just an abstraction. 235 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,080 Where are we going? 236 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,040 I don't know, but we're not wasting any time getting there. 237 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:30,320 - Aren't you glad you came along? - Wouldn't have missed it. 238 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,320 - So what do you think? - I think we've stopped. 239 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:43,640 - Are you sure? - Either that or we're falling very slowly. 240 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,480 You mean we can let go? 241 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,680 I don't see why not. 242 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,200 - Well? - Well what? You first. 243 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,360 Oh, no. This little trip wasn't my idea. 244 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,080 All right, we'll let go together. 245 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,600 On the count of three. 246 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:11,280 One, two... three. 247 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,600 See? Nothing to worry about. 248 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,880 I wasn't worried. 249 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,520 - What now? - Good question. 250 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:33,120 Doctor! Chief O'Brien. Welcome. I can't tell you how happy I am to see you. 251 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,400 We're glad you're happy, Sloan. 252 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,520 Now tell us how to cure Odo and we can all be happy. 253 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,360 Nothing would give me greater pleasure. 254 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,160 But there are people I'd like you to meet. 255 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,960 - We're a bit pressed for time. - But you just arrived. 256 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:57,920 Oh, I see. You're afraid that if I die while you're still in here, you'll die, too. 257 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,920 We can't let that happen. We'd better hurry. 258 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,360 We're not going anywhere until you give us the cure. 259 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,120 All right. If you insist. 260 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,320 It's a simple nucleotide marking sequence. 261 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,720 Radodine... 262 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,680 You mind repeating that? 263 00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:23,880 We're not playing games, Sloan. 264 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,360 I want to tell you what you need to know. 265 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,560 - Then tell us. - I can't. 266 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,840 You see? 267 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:39,320 Part of me doesn't want you to know until you come to the wardroom. 268 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,480 Maybe we should do as he says. 269 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,320 I don't blame you for being suspicious, 270 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,720 but if you want the cure, you'll have to trust me. 271 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,640 - The clock is ticking. - He's right about that. 272 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,320 Follow me. 273 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,800 Relax, Doctor. I'm the one who's dying, not you. 274 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,320 - Why Deep Space 9? - Excuse me? 275 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,320 Why does the inside of your head look like our space station? 276 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,320 I wanted you to feel at home. Comfortable. 277 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,120 I thought it was the decent thing to do. 278 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,400 Everyone, if I can have your attention, please. 279 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:28,480 I hope you'll forgive me if I take a moment and say a few words. 280 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:36,680 As I stand here, reunited with my friends and family for one last time, 281 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,120 I want you, the people I love, 282 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:44,640 to know just how sorry I am for all the pain that I've caused you. 283 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:51,480 I dedicated my life to the preservation and protection of the Federation. 284 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:56,080 This duty, which I carried out to the best of my ability, 285 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,240 took precedence over everything else - 286 00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:02,200 my parents, my wife, my children. 287 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:08,360 I lived in a world of secrets. Of sabotage and deceit. 288 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:14,720 I spent so much time erasing my movements, covering my tracks, 289 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:20,600 that now, as I look back on my life, I find nothing. 290 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,760 It's as if I never really existed. 291 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,440 I cheated you all out of being in my life. 292 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,360 And what's more, I cheated myself as well. 293 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,960 I know a simple apology won't change that. 294 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,720 I feel the need to apologise anyway. 295 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:47,400 No tears, please. My death isn't a tragedy, it's a celebration. 296 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,920 In death, I can finally step out of the shadows 297 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:57,440 and prove to myself that I existed, that I lived. 298 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,840 That was beautiful, Luther. 299 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,520 Gentlemen, I'd like you to meet my wife, Jessica. 300 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:32,400 This is Dr Bashir and Chief O'Brien. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be here. 301 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,760 I'd like to thank you for all you've done for Luther. And me. 302 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,640 Frankly, being married to him was a living hell. 303 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:46,320 - But thanks to you, that's all changed. - Congratulations. 304 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,680 Doctor, you've been a beacon of light to me. 305 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,200 You're living proof that ideology 306 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,400 is a poor substitute for kindness and decency, 307 00:25:55,520 --> 00:26:02,280 and that it's our actions, not our beliefs, that define who we are, what we are. 308 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:07,080 Yes. Thank you. I'm glad to have been helpful. 309 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,000 But if you don't mind... 310 00:26:10,120 --> 00:26:13,960 You want me to tell you how to cure Odo. Gladly. 311 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,360 My dear, I need that padd I gave you for safekeeping. 312 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,840 Oh. Yes, I think I have it here. 313 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,720 Thanks, muffin. Here you go, Doctor. 314 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,440 I'm sorry, Doctor, but I can't let you have that. 315 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,160 - Julian? - Don't look at me for explanations. 316 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,720 - I knew it. - Knew what? 317 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,600 That this wasn't going to be easy. 318 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,320 - You mind telling me what's going on? - I have no idea. 319 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,320 The Chief was meant to fix my sonic shower but he didn't show up. 320 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,400 I asked the computer where he was, and this is what I found. 321 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:27,680 - Have any idea who this is? - Sloan. He works for Section 31. 322 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:32,640 Then I'd guess this isn't some kind of obscure meditation therapy. 323 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,520 - Sisko to Infirmary. - Infirmary. 324 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,040 Send a medical team to science lab 4 right away. 325 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,360 I wish I knew how long we've been in here. 326 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,200 - 23 minutes and 11 seconds. - Show off. 327 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,200 That leaves us less than 20 minutes to find a cure and get out. 328 00:27:50,120 --> 00:27:52,560 Locked. All locked. 329 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,080 Sloan could be hiding in any of these rooms. 330 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,480 - What's your point? - He has to want to be found. 331 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,040 - It's his playing field. - You two, stop right there. 332 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,000 - Now what? - You're in a restricted area. 333 00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:09,520 I thought we were in the cerebellum. 334 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,120 - We're looking for Sloan. - Mr Sloan is not available. 335 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,560 We don't have time for this. We need to speak to Sloan! 336 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,120 - You shot him! - That really hurt! 337 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,880 He was a threat to the Federation. 338 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,680 - You all right? - Do I look all right? 339 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:43,240 It doesn't make sense. If none of this is real, why does it hurt so much? 340 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,680 Sloan's mind must be sending sensory stimuli to ours, 341 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:51,000 causing us to experience pain as if we'd really been shot. 342 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,600 Of course, that's just a theory. 343 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:58,800 That makes sense. Maybe this is a good time for you to get us out of here. 344 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,160 - I can't. - What do you mean? 345 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:09,440 I just tried the hypothalamic feedback loop. I must be too weak. 346 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,000 What? Julian, we have to get out of here! 347 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:18,080 I know that! But I've been shot. At least my body thinks I have. 348 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,840 I don't believe this. 349 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,160 I'm sorry. 350 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,360 - So this is it? - It does look that way. 351 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:40,120 I should've left a note for Keiko to let her know what we were planning. 352 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,240 Why worry her? 353 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,200 I want them to understand why I had to do this. 354 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,800 She'll understand.
