In the Pale Moonlight è un Episodio di Deep Space Nine.
Trama
Data Stellare 51721.3: Stufo di leggere lunghi elenchi di compagni dispersi o deceduti, Sisko, con l'aiuto di Garak, mette in atto un piano per convincere i Romulani a dichiarare guerra al Dominio, ma ben presto la cosa va al di là dei suoi propositi iniziali.
Sezioni
In questo episodio...
47
- Sisko legge alcune informazioni sul senatore romulano su un PADD con il numero 4778 in basso a destra sullo schermo.
- All'inizio dell'episodio, Sisko accende il display a parete con i nomi dei caduti e preme un pulsante sul pannello di controllo. Sullo stesso pannello c'è un altro pulsante con il numero 47 a fianco.
- All'arrivo del senatore romulano, Worf dice che sono state controllate le sezioni 52 e 62 (5 + 2 = 7 e 6 - 2 = 4).
- All'inizio dell'episodio, Sisko non ricorda la data stellare e dice un po' incerto «Five-one-seven... four?»
Okudagram
- Nello script la schermata delle vittime della guerra viene descritta in questo modo:
a long list of NAMES. They're grouped by ship or starbase and then alphabetized by last name. Each name has a brightly colored tag next to it: - KIA [Killed], - WIA [Wounded], - MIA [Missing].
Citazioni
Vreenak: So you're the commander of Deep Space Nine. And the Emissary to the Prophets. Decorated combact officer, widower, father, mentor... And oh yes, the man who started the war with the Dominion. Somehow I thought you'd be taller.
Vreenak: It's a fake!
Garak: That's why you came to me! Isn't it, Captain?! Because you knew I could do those things that you weren't capable of doing? Well, it worked. And you'll get what you want, a war between the Romulans and the Dominion. And if your conscience is bothering you, you should soothe it with the knowledge that you may just saved the entire Alpha Quadrant. And all it cost was the life of one Romulan senator, one criminal, and the self-respect of one Starfleet officer. I don't know about you, but I'd call that a bargain.
Sisko: So, I lied, I cheated, I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all... I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again... I would. Garak was
right about one thing; a guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the Alpha Quadrant.
Sisko: Computer. Erase the entire personal log.
Scene tagliate
- Nel teaser, quando Sisko spiega perché i Romulani lasciano entrare nel loro spazio le navi Jem'Hadar, era previsto un intervento di Worf e Dax:
WORF
(bitter)
It's an intolerable situation.
We should cross the Neutral Zone
and destroy the Dominion bases.
DAX
And risk war with the Romulans?
No, thank you. We're losing
enough good people as it is. The
last thing we need is a war on two
fronts.
- Dopo la fase ad effetto di Sisko che chiude il teaser «I was going to bring the Romulans into the war», era previsto un ulteriore commento:
CUT TO:
3 INT. SISKO'S QUARTERS
As before.
SISKO
I was absolutely sure it was the
right decision -- that's the
frightening part -- how right it
seemed at the time. And now...
now all I can do is learn to live
with that decision.
(beat)
And I'll have to live with it for
the rest of my life...
Off the dark and brooding expression on Sisko's face...
FADE OUT.
END OF TEASER
- Durante il gioco delle parti in cui Dax risponde come fosse un Romulano, nell'episodio non vengono dette le seguenti battute (la parte in grigio è quella presente nell'episodio):
DAX
You're asking me to start a war
based on wild theories.
SISKO
They're not theories, they're facts!
DAX
Prove it!
SISKO
How?
DAX
That's your problem. But <span style="color:#C0C0C0;">before
I plunge my people into a conflict
that'll kill millions of loyal
Romulan citizens, I'll need...</span>
- Quando Sisko convoca Garak, è stata tagliata una parte di dialogo (la prima e l'ultima battuta in grigio sono quelle presenti nell'episodio):
<span style="color:#C0C0C0;">GARAK
Your faith in my ability to
retrieve classified information
from my former homeland is most
gratifying.</span>
SISKO
I'm happy that you're happy. Now,
can you do it?
Garak pauses for a moment, then shifts gears.
GARAK
You know, I had assumed this
meeting was about the
modifications I suggested for your
new dress uniform -- you have had
an opportunity to look over my
design, haven't you? The new
piping along the collar, the
exaggerated cut of the jacket
hemline emphasizing the--
<span style="color:#C0C0C0;">SISKO
Mister Garak. Let's dispense with
the usual repartee and concentrate
on the issue at hand. Can you do
the job or not?</span>
- Nel bar di Quark, quando Sisko ha offerto la tangente per non sporgere denuncia e Quark l'ha accettata, dopo la citazione della Regola dell'Acquisizione «Every man has his price» era prevista la scena seguente:
Sisko gets up and heads for Odo just as Garak ENTERS
the bar from the Promenade.
SISKO
(to Odo)
He's dropped the charges.
ODO
Hmm.
(to Deputies)
Let him go.
(to Sisko)
If you'll excuse me...
Odo EXITS. The Deputies release Tolar from his
restraints and then EXIT also. While this is going on,
Sisko has a moment with Garak. Sisko keeps his voice
low, but there's barely restrained fury behind his eyes.
SISKO
(quietly boiling)
Tolar is your responsibility.
Keep him out of sight and under
control or the next man needing
medical attention will be you.
Do you understand?
GARAK
Completely.
Garak approaches Tolar, who visibly shrinks back from
Garak as the Cardassian leans over him at the table.
GARAK
Hello, Grathon.
Sisko turns and EXITS.
- Dopo che Tolar ha registrato il programma olografico sulla barra-dati e Sisko gli ha chiarito che è meglio per lui che il lavoro sia fatto ad opera d'arte, era prevista questa scena (la prima e l'ultima battuta in grigio sono quelle presenti nell'episodio):
<span style="color:#C0C0C0;">GARAK
I sincerely hope so. Why don't
you wait in your quarters. I'll
be along shortly to... say hello.</span>
Tolar looks at the two of them with fear for a moment,
then EXITS.
GARAK
Felt good, didn't it?
Sisko looks at him, taken a little off-guard by the
question.
GARAK
(continuing)
To put your hands on a man and
say, "You will do this or else."
(beat)
After all the intrigue and
deception you've had to engage in
over the past week, you must've
found that moment of pure brute
force to be a... refreshing change
of pace.
Garak smiles at him pleasantly. There may be an
element of truth in what he's saying, but what Sisko
can't believe is the way Garak keeps poking and
prodding at his psyche. Sisko begins to smile at the
absurdity of it all.
SISKO
Mister Garak... why is it that no
one has killed you yet?
GARAK
My innate charm?
Sisko laughs and Garak smiles wider. Sisko laughs
louder -- it's a release of tension and anxiety that's
been building in him for over a week. As he laughs...
CUT TO:
22 INT. SISKO'S QUARTERS
Sisko is standing behind the couch, and while there's
a smile on his face at the memory, there's a bitter,
rueful quality to his expression.
SISKO
It wasn't that funny. But I
couldn't stop laughing.
(beat)
<span style="color:#C0C0C0;">Maybe... I was under more pressure
than I realized. Maybe it really
was starting to get to me.</span>
- Dopo che Vreenak ha visto la registrazione e vuole controllare l'autenticità della barra dati, era prevista la seguente scena tra Dax e Sisko (l'ultima battuta in grigio è presente nell'episodio):
37 INT. CAPTAIN'S OFFICE
Sisko is pacing in his office, lost in thought when Dax
ENTERS.
DAX
Got a minute?
SISKO
Sure. What can I do for you?
Dax takes her time, this is a delicate subject and she
doesn't want to rush into anything.
DAX
This may sound... crazy. But,
think about it before you say no.
SISKO
Just say it.
Beat.
DAX
What if we... tricked the Romulans
into believing that the Dominion
was about to attack them?
Sisko is thunderstruck for a moment and Dax takes it
as a reaction to her crazy idea.
DAX
Hear me out.
(beat)
We find a way to manufacture
evidence of a planned Dominion
attack. I'm not sure what it
should be, uh... a series of coded
messages from their central
command, a Cardassian defector who
smuggles out secret war plans --
I don't know. Something. Then
we show it to the Romulans and try
to convince them that they're one
step away from disaster.
Sisko takes a moment, decides to become his own devil's
advocate.
SISKO
You want to start a war based on
a lie?
DAX
I want to end a war, Benjamin.
And I want the good guys to win.
Besides, let's face it -- the
Dominion will attack the Romulans
eventually, it's just a matter of
time. So, in a way we'd be doing
them a favor by pulling them in
now.
SISKO
(hard)
That's an easy way of
rationalizing something you know
is wrong.
Dax takes a beat, goes cold and hard.
DAX
More wrong than war?
Beat.
SISKO
I'll... think about it.
DAX
That's all I ask.
She heads for the door, then stops, smiles to herself.
DAX
I suppose it's one thing to come
up with an idea like this... and
another to put it into motion.
SISKO
(re: pips)
That's why they put these on my
collar, old man.
She smiles at him and then EXITS.
38 INT. SISKO'S QUARTERS
Sisko on the couch. He's got a bottle of something
dark and amber now and he pours himself a drink.
SISKO
It was good to know that the old
man was on my side, even if she
didn't know what was really going
on.
<span style="color:#C0C0C0;">(beat)
In any case, I was way past the
point of no return. There was
nothing to do but wait and see how
masterful Tolar's forgery really
was.</span>
