Morn regurgitates a small amount of liquid latinum from his second stomach, worth about 100 bricks, and offers it to Quark as a reward. He then asks Morn where the real fortune has been stored. Bitter, Quark forbids the man from speaking and explains that he's already figured out that he faked his death when the statute of limitations expired to protect himself from his comrades. Later, Odo arrives at Quark's bar with one more surprise: Morn, who is actually still alive. Quark gleefully claims the shipment for himself, but discovers to his horror that all the latinum has been extracted from the bricks to leave only worthless gold. Quark dives into the cargo container holding the bricks to avoid being caught in their crossfire, and is saved when Odo arrives to arrest them. Just as Quark opens the lid, the greedy thieves turn on each other. They all follow him to the cargo bay where Morn's fortune arrives. Since only Quark can take possession of the money, they offer to spare his life and give him Morn's share. Now that the statute of limitations has expired, they've come to get their shares. The scoundrels all reveal themselves to actually be thieves who pulled off a bank robbery with Morn nine years earlier, but he double-crossed them and fled with the money. When Hain arrives, all three parties confront each other. Before the appointed meeting, both Larell and the alien brothers break into Quark's quarters and lie in wait for each other. They agree to meet that night at Quark's quarters. When Quark mentions Larell, Hain offers to give him a cut of the money if he'll help arrest her, since she's an infamous criminal. He says that Morn was a devested Lurian prince whose fortune has defaulted to that planet's government upon his death. As Quark is about to send for the money, he gets stuck up by a phaser-toting man named Hain, who claims to be an officer of Lurian security.
Larell steals it from Quark after spending the night with him, but he's already memorized the number and he knows that the bank will only release the funds to him, since he's named as Morn's heir.
It only contains one brick, but it's got a Bolian bank account number inscribed on it. A clue!Īs the creditors continue to hound him for their share, Quark takes possession of the box. They bash Quark over the head with Morn's favorite painting to get their point across, which reveals a hidden message leading Quark to a storage box on the station. But then two alien brothers, Krit and Nahsk, surprise Quark in his quarters claiming that Morn owed them all the money. She threatens to tie Quark up in court unless he gives her a cut when he finds it, and he accepts. She's after Morn's fortune as well, stating that he won 1,000 bricks of gold-pressed latinum in a lottery. But then a beautiful woman named Larell emerges from Morn's mud bed and claims to be his ex-wife. Quark has a hard time tracking down Morn's wealth even after inspecting his accounts, his cargo and his quarters. Given how much he spends at the bar, he must be loaded! His spirits brighten considerably when he learns that the deceased left everything to him. Quark holds a funeral for his favorite customer, though he seems to be mourning the loss of income more than the man. When Dax and Sisko arrive, they're even more confused, because according to them, Morn just died in an ion storm. Odo arrives at Quark's to tell Morn that his shipment of Livanian beets is starting to spoil, but Quark reveals that Morn's image is actually a hologram he set up while the barfly is away on business so that customers don't miss him. Quark's: a place where everybody knows your name.
