"The Maquis" Line-by-Line!

[LeadHead]

Hudson: Explain why your ships were equipped with Galor Class Phaser banks.

 

[Alienesse]

EVEK: They have a right to defend themselves against organized terrorist activities.

 

[Brian]

SISKO: I haven't heard any proof yet of organized terrorist activities.

 

[Alienesse]

AMAROS: Because there is none.

 

[Brian]

EVEK: On the contrary, we have the confession of the Federation terrorist responsible for the destruction of the Bok'Nor at your station, Commander.

 

[Alienesse]

SISKO: Confession?

Evek's assistant hands him a PADD.

 

[Brian]

EVEK: A forty-three year old male human, William Patrick Samuels, born Bergan, Norway, Earth.

 

[Alienesse]

AMAROS: We know who he is. What have you done with him?

 

[Enterprise1981]

EVEK: Came to the Federation colony on Volan Two twenty years ago. Married, wife's name Louise, two female children aged fourteen and twelve. He was quite cooperative once we apprehended him on Deep Space Nine.

Evek hands Hudson an isolinear rod, which Hudson inserts into desktop viewer port. A Video activates. Samuels appears on screen.

Cardassian: (out of frame) Begin.

 

[Vulcan Princess]

SAMUELS [on monitor]: My name is William Samuels. I am being held for crimes against the Cardassian people. I have been well treated. I have confessed that, as a member of a well-armed anti-Cardassian force organised by Federation colonists, I set an implosion device that destroyed the freighter Bok'Nor. I deeply regret participating in this arbitrary attack that led to the deaths of over seventy five crewmen. To my wife and children, I'm sorry, and I love you.

[LeadHead]

Screen goes blank.

Amaros: He would have confessed to anything after you were through with him.

 

[Enterprise1981]

EVEK: On the contrary, he confessed quite early in the interrogation procedure, far sooner than we expected. I believe he truly felt remorse.

 

[Vulcan Princess]

Hudson: We want to talk to him ourselves.

 

[LeadHead]

Evek: Bring him in.

Two Cardassians bring in a stretcher covered with a sheet.

Evek: Unfortunately he committed suicide in his cell.

Evek pulls back the sheet to show Samuels' face.

 

[Enterprise1981]

(Amaros leaps over the table and tries to throttle Evek. Hudson pulls him off)

HUDSON: Come on, come on. It's all right, it's all right.

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko: Dukat, get them out of here!

 

[Enterprise1981]

DUKAT: Get outside.

 

[LeadHead]

Hudson: Go on, we'll talk later.
