Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - The Passenger (Full Frame)

VHS, PARAMOUNT

While traveling in a runabout, Bashir (Siddig El Fadil) and Kira (Nana Visitor) respond to a distress call from a disabled Kobliad ship. When they beam over, Bashir is attacked by an injured passenger - a murderer named Rao Vantika (James Harper), who suddenly dies. Back aboard Deep Space Nine, the Kobliad security officer Ty Kajada (Caitlin Bloom) insists on an autopsy to prove Vantika, who has a history of faking his own demise, is truly dead. Meanwhile, the crew determines that Vantika was probably coming to the station to hi-jack a freighter carrying deuridium, a rare substance that prolongs Kobliad life. When Odo (Reni Auberjonois) tries to implement a security plan to protect the shipment, he discovers that the station computer's memory has been purged. The crew is now convinced that Vantika may be hiding in someone else's brain - and so the hunt for the passenger begins.
