Hiding in the shadows, Ilon Tandro of Klaestron IV attempts to kidnap Lt. Jadzia Dax from the station. After the attempt fails, he produces a warrant charging Curzon Dax (her former Trill identity) for the murder of his father, General Ardelon Tandro, thirty years before. Though Dax refuses to discuss the events surrounding the crime, Sisko requests a Bajoran extradition hearing and mounts a defense on her behalf, dispatching Odo to Klaestron IV to investigate. While many relevant details of Trill life are revealed as the hearing progresses, Jadzia has no alibi for Curzon's whereabouts during the crime.
