After moving the hostages into a building, [[Biddle Coleridge]] tells his friends to shoot any hostage that moves. Posing as the late [[Gabriel Bell]], [[Benjamin Sisko]] takes control of the volatile hostage situation in the [[Sanctuary District]] by convincing Coleridge that they need the hostages alive as a bargaining chip. Suddenly [[Vin]] bursts into the room holding a gun. Coleridge is about to shoot him when Sisko tackles Vin against a wall. In the chaos a shot is accidentally fired and Bashir calms a frightened [[Lee (official)|Lee]]. Coleridge wants an access code to the [[net]] and Bernardo Calvera agrees to help. Bashir expresses his concern about Sisko posing as Gabriel Bell because Bell historically died when guards stormed the building. Sisko says that he is not Bell. Sisko enlists the help of [[Michael Webb]] to recruit [[gimmie]]s, people that he trusts to guard the hostages and to watch over the volatile [[ghost (slang)|ghosts]] as well. Meanwhile, [[Jadzia Dax]] sees news coverage of the event at [[Chris Brynner]]'s [[apartment]] and realizes that she must get into the District to help save Sisko and Bashir.

On the {{USS|Defiant|2370}}, [[Kira Nerys]] and [[Miles O'Brien]] have narrowed the possible time periods to 10 possibilities but due to the limited number of [[chroniton]] particles they have a finite number of trips they can take, not enough to cover all of the possible timeframes. Kira feels ridiculous that she has to wear a bandage on her nose to disguise her [[Bajoran]] heritage, and O'Brien advises her to say nothing and let him do all the talking. On their first attempt, they land in [[1930]] and find no evidence of the team's presence. Before they can leave, they run into a couple leaving a party who looks at them and then runs off.

Coleridge is outraged that gimmies are guarding the hostages, but Sisko emphasizes the importance of having people they can trust. Coleridge tells Sisko and Webb that he intends to trade the hostages for freedom - amnesty, credit chips and the ability to go anywhere they want. Coleridge wants to go to [[Tasmania]], the birthplace of Errol Flynn. However Sisko says that they must think of the other 10,000 people as well and that they would not make it far before they were caught. Webb supports Sisko and they agree to campaign for the closure of Sanctuary districts, jobs for the residents and the reinstatement of the [[Federal Employment Act]].

True to her promise, Preston has supplied muffins and fruit juice for the residents. [[Danny Webb|Danny]] comes inside to find his father to be with him. Webb agrees he can stay for a while but says that Danny must go when he says so. Bashir has managed to find some glucogen in the clinic and provides treatment for Lee. Bashir tells Calvera (who is worried about his family) that something good will come from all of this.

A short time later Preston returns with the Governor's response: he'll reduce the charges against Bell and Webb if they release the hostages. Sisko and Webb ask whether the Sanctuary will be closed and jobs offered and Preston says the Governor intends to form a committee to look into the matter and that change takes time. They both reject this offer.

Dax manages to find her way into the Sanctuary District through some underground pipes, where she has her combadge stolen by a mental resident named [[Grady]]. Meanwhile Sisko and Bashir try to get past the lockout to the Net without luck. In the previous past a way was found to get past the lockout and many people were able to tell their stories to the world. Dax is reunited with Sisko and Bashir who explain that they can not leave because history must be allowed to run its course. Dax recovers her combadge with Bashir's help and returns to [[Chris Brynner]] who initially has doubts about helping the residents as he will lose his interface license for turning the channel over to criminals. Dax asks Brynner to give the residents a voice because people have the right to know and that when the Government storms the Sanctuary people will die and those deaths should not be for nothing. Brynner agrees to help restore the processing center's computer link because, although he will lose his license, he will get great ratings. Once this is done the residents are given the chance to tell their stories to millions around the planet through the network. Unfortunately, despite pleas from Preston, the governor is unmoved by their plight and sends in troops at 0500.

Kira and O'Brien realize that the team arrived before 2048 as it was drastically different to the [[2048]] of unaltered time. Using this information they narrow the possibilities to 3 dates, but have only enough chroniton particles for one more attempt. They materialize at the corner of Polk and California and realize they hit the correct time period when they contact Dax on her combadge. In the meantime, Sisko and Webb try to keep the hostages safe as [[SWAT]] teams move in without regard to the lives of the hostages. Webb sends away Danny and Coleridge gives Danny his hat. When the troops open fire, Webb is killed along with a number of others while Sisko takes a bullet protecting Vin. Vin and Calvera are shocked by the bodies lying on the street outside. As the National Guard takes control of the situation, the grateful Vin allows Sisko and Bashir to escape by switching their ID cards with two of the dead. So it appears, as before, that Gabriel Bell died while trying to save the hostages.

With Vin's promise to tell people the truth about the incident, history is restored to its normal course, though the portrait of Gabriel Bell in [[Federation]] historical records now depicts Commander Sisko. ({{DS9|Little Green Men}})
