Stardate not given: A Kobheerian freighter docking at the station requests medical help for a passenger it is transporting. The passenger turns out to be a Cardassian named Marritza with a case of Kalla-Nohra Syndrome, a disease that was exclusively diagnosed in Gallitep, a former Cardassian labor camp on Bajor. Kira Nerys has Marritza placed under arrest and delves into his background. After visual evidence from the camp has been unearthed, the man has to admit he is Gul Darhe'el, the notorious commandant of Gallitep. But after Odo's further investigation it turns out that he really is Marritza, who served as a filing clerk in Gallitep. By altering his face and posing as one of the biggest war criminals in Bajoran history he wanted to make the case public and help alleviate Cardassia's and his own guilt. When Marritza is released and about to return to his home planet, a Bajoran appears from the crowd and stabs him - apparently just because Marritza is a Cardassian.
