Duet

A Cardassian passenger seeks treatment for Kalla-Nohra, a condition caught only by survivors of a mining accident at Gallitep, the most notorious labour camp of the occupation. Kira has him arrested as a war criminal. He calls himself Aamin Marritza, a lowly clerk, but a photograph suggests he is Gul Darhe'el, the infamous Butcher of Gallitep. Kira faces him across the interrogation table as Sisko weighs what to do. The pieces do not fit: Gul Dukat insists Darhe'el is dead, Darhe'el was never at Gallitep during the accident, and Bashir finds signs of cosmetic surgery. The prisoner really is Marritza, a man haunted by shame at having done nothing to stop the atrocities, who hoped a public trial would force Cardassia to admit its guilt. Moved, Kira releases him, but as he leaves a Bajoran stabs him to death. Asked why, the killer says it was enough that he was Cardassian.
