A Bajoran woman hires Quark to retrieve a strongbox from her former husband's shop on Deep Space Nine. Quark opens it to find a list of Bajorans. A stranger sneaks up, shoots Quark and steals the list. As Dr. Bashir tries reviving Quark, Odo becomes suspicious of Rom. Commander Sisko coaxes him to divulge what was in the strongbox. All Rom knows is that the box was hidden behind a wall panel in the shop during the Cardassian Occupation.

In a flashback, Odo enters a chemist's shop and Gul Dukat shows him a dead body, soliciting Odo to become an investigator for the Cardassians. Although Odo detests the occupation, Dukat claims his superiors wish to "solve" the murder by executing ten random Bajorans. As Odo is neither Bajoran nor Cardassian, Dukat believes him to be an ideal investigator and convinces the shapeshifter to help. The only witness is Vaatrick Pallra, the deceased's widow - the same woman who has hired Quark to retrieve the strongbox. Odo notes that she has not cried. She claims her husband had been having an affair and was murdered by his mistress. When asked to identify the mistress, she points at Kira.
