Statistical Probabilities

è un Episodio di Deep Space Nine.
== Trama ==
Data Stellare Sconosciuta: Ora che il passato di Bashir è stato rivelato, gli viene richiesto di lavorare con un gruppo di persone che, come lui, hanno subito interventi genetici.
Bashir si trova quindi con alcune persone che, differentemente da lui, sono rimaste nell'istituto dove ha subito l'intervento, ognuna delle quali presenta una caratteristica predominante: Jack (aggressivo), Lauren (sensuale), Patrick (frivolo), e Sarina (timida).
Si spera che Bashir possa aiutare queste persone ad inserirsi normalmente nella società.
== Sezioni ==
=== Note ===
* Ron Moore ha soprannominato il gruppo di persone modificate geneticamente Jack Pack.
=== 47 ===
* Bashir mostra a Sisko un PADD intitolato «Analysis Mode - 47».
* Sul PADD con la scheda di Bashir che ha in mano Lauren c'è il numero 4774.
=== YATI ===
* Probabilmente i mutanti sono la cosa più simile agli dei, tuttavia nessuno di loro conosce la Teoria del Caos: come mai ci mettono giorni a scoprire che ogni piccolo imprevisto inficia la più grande e precisa delle loro previsioni? E come mai a nessun altro su Deep Space Nine o al Comando della Flotta viene in mente questa obiezione?
=== Versione italiana ===
* Nei sottotitoli di Canal Jimmy Sarina viene chiamata Serena.
=== Citazioni ===
Weyoun: Odo...Odo: Yes, I know, I honor you with my presence!
Sisko: Surrender is not an option. I'm happy to hear your group's advice on how to win this war... I don't need advice on how to lose it.
Bashir: We're not gods.Jack: Maybe not, but we're the next best thing.
Sisko: I don't care if odds are against us. If we're going to lose, then we're going to go down fighting, so that when our descendants someday rise up against the Dominion, they'll know what they're made of.
=== Scene tagliate ===
* Ecco com'era stata pensata la scena in cui Bashir chiede a Sarina di essere liberato dalle corde. La prima e le ultime due battute di Bashir, con piccole variazioni, sono quelle dette nell'episodio.
 BASHIR
 Untie me. Please.
 (no response)
 Sarina.
 She says nothing. Frustrated, Bashir struggles to free
 himself. After a few beats, he's surprised to hear a
 small, tremulous voice --
 SARINA
 I'm sorry.
 Bashir reacts to the first words he's ever heard her
 speak, realizing that she must be conflicted if she's
 driven to utter them.
 She has to pull herself up from the deep well she's
 lived in for so many years -- she doesn't know how to
 say what she feels, she doesn't even know what she
 feels.
 SARINA
 I can't untie you.
 BASHIR
 (gently)
 Yes, you can. If you think it's
 the right thing to do.
 SARINA
 (at a loss)
 I don't know...
 BASHIR
 I think you do. I think that's
 why you spoke to me just now. You
 could've stayed quiet, but you
 didn't. And the only reason I can
 think of is that you don't want to
 have the deaths of so many people
 on your hands.
 SARINA
 Jack would be mad.
 Bashir realizes something about her that he's been
 sensing all along -- seeing an opening, he eases his
 way toward it.
 BASHIR
 (gently)
 Yes, he would. And I know you
 don't want that to happen.
 Bashir sees something flicker across her features, and
 he knows what he's thinking is true --
 BASHIR
 I've seen the way you look at him
 when you think no one is watching.
 I know how much you care about
 him.
 Sarina looks down, trying to shut out his words.
 Emotion is so alien to her that it's painful for her to
 feel so exposed.
 BASHIR
 Sarina, if you don't let me stop
 them, they're going to be arrested
 and charged with treason. Do you
 know what that means? You'll
 never see any of them again.
 (beat)
 You'll never see Jack again.
 She looks up, stricken by this thought. Bashir holds
 her gaze, says nothing more. He knows he has to let
 her sit with this for a moment and decide what she
 wants to do. Off Sarina's face as we wonder what
 she'll do...
=== Script ===
* Questa è l'estrapolazione dallo script dell'intero discorso di Damar: "Fellow citizens, these are great days for Cardassia. Together with our Dominion allies, we have given our enemies cause to fear us once more. The war with the Federation accomplished our goals. Cardassia is strong again, an empire We are safe behind secure borders, and no one will ever dare attack us again. From this position of strength, we are poised to take another bold step that will insure our future. [pausa d'effetto] Peace. [pausa lunga] It is time to bring an end to this war with the Federation. It is time for us to rebuild on the foundation of strength we have laid. [pausa] The sons of Cardassia shed their blood to defend their home. Their sacrifice must not be in vain. The peace we seek will honor their memory, and preserve the gains for which they gave their lives. [pausa] Today I challenge the Federation to answer my call for peace. I'm ready at any time to meet with its representatives to discuss how we can bring an end to hostilities. As your leader, I pledge that I will do everything in my power to protect Cardassia and allow us to move forward into a new era. [pausa] This I vow with my life's blood. For my sons... For all our sons."
* Quando era stato trasmesso per la prima volta questo l'episodio era circolato un brano dello script su Internet:
 DAMAR
 (filtered)
 Together with our Dominion allies, we
 have given our enemies cause to fear us
 once more.
 O'BRIEN
 (dry)
 Can't argue with that.
In the background, Lauren gets up and moves so she can see the
screen. For some reason, she too is intrigued by Damar's speech.
 DAMAR
 (filtered, continuing)
 The war with the Federation accomplished
 our goals.
Now Jack emerges from his room to get a closer look, as if drawn by
the sound of Damar's voice.
 LAUREN
 Who is he?
 BASHIR
 Damar -- the new head of the Cardassian
 Government.
 DAMAR
 (filtered)
 We are safe behind secure borders, and
 no one will dare attack us again.
 PATRICK
 (with sympathy)
 Whoever he is, he's sad.
 LAUREN
 Ashamed is more like it.
Bashir's never seen the group focus on anything before, and it
intrigues him.
 DAMAR
 (filtered)
 The time has come for us to take another
 bold step that will ensure our future.
 (beat)
 Peace.
Damar lets this hang in the air for a beat. Bashir and O'Brien
exchange looks -- this is better than a declaration of redoubled
hostilities, but they're not ready to take Damar at face value.
 LAUREN
 Looks like he hasn't slept in days.
 JACK
 Me thought I heard a voice cry "Sleep
 No More! Damar does murder sleep!"
 O'BRIEN
 Quiet.
Bashir stops O'Brien before he says any more -- we see that the
Doctor wants to hear what they have to say.
 DAMAR
 (filtered)
 It is time to bring an end to this war
 with the Federation.
 LAUREN
 (realizing)
 He killed someone.
 PATRICK
 (nodding)
 Someone close to him.
Bashir and O'Brien don't know what to make of their comments.
 DAMAR
 (filtered)
 It is time for us to rebuild on the
 foundation of strength we have laid.
 JACK
 (Pointing at Damar)
 Pretender! He doesn't belong to the
 throne and he knows it!
 DAMAR
 (filtered)
 Today I challenge the Federation to
 answer my call for peace.
 LAUREN
 He's caught up in something he can't
 control...
 DAMAR
 (filtered)
 I'm ready at any time to meet with its
 representitives to discuss how we can
 bring an end to hostilities.
 JACK
 Someone's making him say all this.
 Someone he hates almost as much as he
 fears.
 DAMAR
 (filtered)
 I pledge that I will do everything in
 my power to protect Cardassia and allow
 us to move forward into a new era.
 (beat)
 This I vow with my life's blood. For my
 sons... For all our sons.
And with that, the transmission ENDS and the screen returns to the
Cardassian emblem.
 JACK
 Not bad, not bad at all. It's epic,
 really. The Pretender who kills the
 King and seizes the throne.
 LAUREN
 Not the King, he's still alive.
 JACK
 Right. That explains the guilt.
 PATRICK
 The Queen maybe?
 (even better)
 Or a Princess?
 JACK
 Yes... Yes! And now the Pretender finds
 himself in a league with... a Dark
 Knight he can't control.
Bashir and O'Brien turn and look at each other, wondering how these
three could have gleaned all this from Damar's speech. Off their
puzzled features...

INT. OPS
where an excited Bashir is telling Dax and Kira what happened.
O'Brien looks from his console.
 BASHIR
 It was amazing. They pieced together the
 entire story of how Damar came to power
 just by watching his speech.
 DAX
 Are you sure you're not reading to much
 into it?
 BASHIR
 Don't you see? Weyoun is the Dark Knight,
 Gul Dukat is the deposed King, Damar is
 the Pretender to the throne, and Ziyal
 is the innocent princess he murdered.
 Now the Pretender is wracked with guilt
 over what he did, but he can't turn his
 back.
 KIRA
 It pretty much hangs together.
 BASHIR
 You were there, Chief. You saw what
 happened.
 O'BRIEN
 It was weird, I have to admit.
 BASHIR
 To them it was like some sort of
 Shakespearean tragedy. They were
 fascinated by the whole thing. They
 started bombarding me with questions
 about Cardassia and the war. I've never
 seen them so engaged.
 DAX
 (sly)
 And you're going to try to keep them
 'engaged'?
 BASHIR
 I don't know if I can; I'm running out
 of material.
 KIRA
 What do you mean?
 BASHIR
 They've already gone through everything
 the library has on Cardassia and the
 Dominion.
Sisko ENTERS his office -- something's on his mind and he can't
figure out how he feels about it.
 SISKO
 Roll out the red carpet.
 O'BRIEN
 Visitors, sir?
 SISKO
 (crossing down)
 Starfleet has agreed to enter into peace
 negotiations with the Dominion. Damar and
 Weyoun will be arriving in the morning.
 (grimacing)
 I'm the lucky one who gets to sit across
 the table and try to keep from throttling
 them.
 BASHIR
 That's great.
Sisko shoots him a look --
 O'BRIEN
 I don't know. It's hard to believe the
 Dominion really wants peace.
 KIRA
 I wouldn't be surprised if they were
 just stalling for time.
 SISKO
 Maybe. I guess we'll find out.
 BASHIR
 Sir, is there any way I can get a
 transcript of the negotiations?
 SISKO
 You can do better than that.
Bashir is skeptical.
 SISKO
 (continuing)
 The Dominion is insisting that the
 proceedings be holo-recorded so that
 everyone can see their desire for peace
 is sincere.
 BASHIR
 Perfect.
 And with that, Bashir turns and heads
 for the door. Sisko watches him go,
 wondering what that was all about.
 DAX
 Look on the bright side, Benjamin. If
 you hurt somebody, everyone will be able
 to see what made you snap.
Off Sisko's face as he considers this...

 returns to the Cardassian emblem. Bashir looks at the
 group trying to understand what's happened.
 BASHIR
 Did any of you know who Damar was
 before today?
 JACK
 No, but it's obvious who he is.
 The Pretender who killed the king
 and seized the throne.
 LAUREN
 Not the king, he's still alive.
 PATRICK
 The queen maybe?

 Or a princess.
 BASHIR
 Yes. Gul Dukat's daughter. Her
 name was Ziyal.

 Bashir and O'Brien look at each other, wondering how

 What else can you tell us?
 Off this moment...

 You shouldn't've agreed to that,
 Benjamin.

 Now you're going to have to be on
 your best behavior.
 Off Sisko's face as he considers this...
