ROSS: If we're going to have this discussion, then it's off the record.
(They put their comm. badges on the table.)
ROSS: Before I answer your question, answer mine. How did you know?

Bashir: The man who Koval described, was not the same man who recruited me into Section 31. Anyone clever enough to pull the wool so completely over my eyes wouldn’t have been caught by the Romulans so easily. There had to be another explanation. Then I remembered that you were the one who planted the idea in my head that Sloan had an accomplice. You were the one who didn’t want to tell the Romulans there was an assassination plot. You were the one who issued the orders preventing me from contacting Deep Space Nine. And when the time came to arrest Sloan, you conveniently had aneurism. Leaving me alone, with no one to turn to for help except Cretak. And as I realized your involvement, the rest began to fall into place. Where is he?
ROSS: I don't know.
ROSS: He was supposed to be beamed away a split second before the phaser beam hit him. Whether it worked or not, I couldn't say.
BASHIR: How long has Koval been working for Starfleet?
ROSS: He's been providing the Federation with critical military intelligence for over a year. When he started working with Section 31, I don't know.
ROSS: Dismissed from the Senate, definitely. Imprisoned... most likely.
BASHIR: You set her up! She was an innocent woman and you let Sloan destroy her! Why? She believed in the Alliance. She was on our side!
ROSS: No, she wasn't. I told you before, Julian, she's a patriot. Which means if it served the interests of the Romulans to negotiate a separate peace with the Dominion, Cretak would push that option. And believe me, the Dominion would like nothing better than to make a deal with the Romulans right now.
BASHIR: So Koval becomes your guarantee that that does not happen. As a man who was nearly killed for his anti-Federation activities, his recommendation to stay in the war becomes all the more convincing!
BASHIR: And how long have you worked for Section 31?
ROSS: *says nothing, clips combadge back in place*
