With this loose thread to sort out, Odo gets in contact with Gul Dukat, who provides [[Shocking Swerve|surprising information]]: Not only has Gul Darhe'el already died and been buried in a public military funeral, but he was not even at the camp on the day of the accident and so would never have contracted Kalla-Nohra. Further investigation of the prisoner's home reveals he spent a lot of time researching Kira, and taking medication for the after effects of [[Magic Plastic Surgery|surgical alterations]]. Once again, Kira confronts him with the evidence, claiming that he is Marritza after all trying to pass himself off as Gul Darhe'el, but he tries to cling to it:

 

 

Marritza finally admits his true identity and his motivations: [[The Atoner|He believes Cardassia has to face its past and accept responsibility for what it has done]], and by having a very public trial he can force Cardassia to deal with it. With this, Kira releases him, [[Character Development|having realised that his death would just be another murder]].

Kira arranges transport for Marritza to return to his home, saying [[Hope Spot|Cardassia needs good men like him if it's ever to reform]]. As they head for this transport, the drunken Bajoran from earlier comes up [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog|and shivs Marritza in the back]]. As Kira cradles him as he dies, she looks at the Bajoran.

 

'''Bajoran''': [[Fantastic Racism|He was a Cardassian! That's reason enough!]]<br />

'''Kira''': [[Downer Ending|No, it's not.]] }}
