Quotes:

[Kira has asked "Gul Darhe'el" how he knew about her past in the resistance]
Marritza: [posing as Darhe'el] Oh my, my, you are a strutting little egotist. You forget the brilliance of Marritza's filing system. He made sure that I was provided with information on all your little terrorist bands. What I particularly enjoyed were the termination reports.
[he chuckles]
Marritza: Yes, life in a force labor camp can be so isolating. At times I felt that I alone bore the burden of cleansing Bajor of its rabble; but those reports reassured me: I was not alone!

Damn good episode

This was a damn good episode. Harris Yulin was superb as Guldar Heel (nice name for a villain too - get it, "HEEL" ) I loved the line "I'm your nemesis, I'm GulDar Heel"! He actually played two different character, Amin Marittza as Guldar Heel, then Amin Marittza as himself. Both were totally believable, and I love the wrap-around ending. The character at the beginning of the movie that was released from jail was told to "stay out of trouble", and he doesn't. The Cardassian that was seen as an enemy by Major Kira, is, considered , by implication, an ally. It was a hearkening back to the original star trek,where social commentary was disguised as Sci-Fi. Best episode on of that series ever!
