1:53:00
Don't let the bug in
your lungs long enough

1:53:02
to penetrate blood vessels.
1:53:03
I want to turn off the pure oxygen,
1:53:05
then you start breathing
room air as fast as you can.

1:53:07
No! No.
1:53:08
I was running a test in here.
1:53:11
The air is thick with Andromeda.
1:53:12
Experiment with your own life, damn it!
1:53:14
We won't do it, Charlie.
1:53:15
Take it easy.
1:53:15
I know I'm close.
1:53:16
I'm sure it has something to do
1:53:18
with blood chemistry and breathing.
1:53:19
Dr. Hall. May I please
feed the baby now?

1:53:22
He's been crying steadily...
1:53:23
That's what I want. Keep him crying.
1:53:26
Run another blood value on him.
1:53:27
Get his pH measurements.
1:53:28
Yes, Doctor!
1:53:31
With all the yelling,
1:53:32
blowing off carbon dioxide,
1:53:34
the kid should have too little acid.
1:53:36
Alkaline: A blood condition just
1:53:38
the opposite from the old man.
1:53:39
Too much alkali.
1:53:40
Well, what good does that do Dutton?
1:53:43
Karen, where's the blood test?
1:53:45
It's coming through now on your console.
1:53:49
Hell of a way to run a hospital.
1:53:54
Just what you expected.
1:53:56
Opposite blood chemistries,
1:53:57
the baby and the old man.
1:53:58
One of them should
be a dead opposite...

1:54:00
But he's not.
1:54:01
There must be a connection!
1:54:05
They both stayed alive at Piedmont
1:54:06
breathing the same air.
1:54:07
One's blood too alkaline,
1:54:09
the other too... acid.
1:54:15
Yes. Yes!
1:54:20
Dutton, I'm turning off the oxygen.
1:54:22
Breathe fast and hard.
1:54:23
No, Jeremy!
1:54:24
Don't let him cut off my oxygen.
1:54:25
No! The air in that room is loaded...
1:54:28
Air doesn't matter.
1:54:29
Blood does. That's the answer.
1:54:39
I need 30 seconds
to run a growth program.

1:54:42
He could die in 30 seconds.
1:54:44
Besides, Leavitt checked
all the growth programs.

1:54:46
She might have missed something.
1:54:47
Epileptics blank out.
1:54:48
I want to see how the
growth of Andromeda

1:54:50
is affected by blood
chemistry. The pH...

1:54:52
Oh, damn!
1:54:56
You do it.
