Quotes 

• [the crew are analyzing Illario's death] 

  Chief O'Brien : [scanning the corpse]  That's odd... According to these readings, the bullet only traveled eight or nine centimeters.

  Captain Sisko : Then the killer must have fired at point blank range.

  Odo : I don't think so. There are no powder burns on the body.

  Doctor Bashir : What are powder burns?

  Odo : At close range, chemically propelled weapons leave residual combustion products on the skin and clothing of the victims.

  Captain Sisko : How did you know that?

  Odo : I read 20th century crime novels - Raymond Chandler, Mike Hammer, that sort of thing.
