Storyline

Aamin Marritza, a Cardassian suffering from Kalla-Nohra, turns to DS9 for medical attention. Major Kira Nerys immediately recognizes the disease. He could only have contracted it when an accident occurred in the labor camp Gallitepp on Bajor during the Cardassian occupation. Kira herself helped liberate the camp and she knows of the atrocities camp commander Gul Darhe'el committed. She is determined to convict Marritza for war crimes. The Cardassian first denies having Kallo-Nohra, then claims he was only a filing clerk. With Bajor wanting to convict him and Cardassia wanting his release, Sisko faces a tough decision. Then photographic evidence arrives.

Gul Dukat: I do miss working with you, Odo. I miss our games of Kalevian montar.
Odo: As I recall, Gul Dukat, we played one game, and you cheated.
Gul Dukat: [laughs] The same old Odo - like a blunt instrument.

User Reviews

A Trek Classic

Harris Yulin's performance as the enigmatic Cardassian is flawless. I've just watched this episode again for the 8th or 9th time (I lost count) and I'm still mesmerized by him. An incredible character in a tragically beautiful episode.
