:57:01
Sometimes we do things
but don't know how we got to that point.
:57:04
- No, I can't.
- Can't what?
:57:06
I can't think of any reason why I would.
:57:09
Well, I can't either.
:57:12
What if it was an emergency?
:57:15
- So you'd do it if it was an emergency?
- No, I don't know. What, so you might then?
:57:20
I don't know. What kind of emergency?
:57:23
The permutations were endless.
:57:27
They tried again going to the source...
:57:29
but even while keeping him separated
from Abe by two rooms...
:57:32
Ask him his name.
:57:33
...Granger's condition
could only be described as vegetative.
:57:36
What did he say?
:57:37
From this they deduced
that the problem was recursive...
:57:40
but beyond that, found themselves
admitting, against their own nature...
:57:43
and once again,
that the answer was unknowable.
:57:46
- What do you think he changed?
- Not much.
:57:47
We didn't have any contact with him
in the 3 hours he could've done anything.
:57:51
I know he changed this. I know we weren't
having this conversation the first time...
:57:55
so you don't know what we lost.
:57:56
It really could not have been much.
:57:58
It doesn't matter how much.
It just matters that it's changed.
:58:01
I know what you're saying.
:58:02
The question should have been...
:58:03
what to do with the comatose man
in the guest bedroom.
:58:06
But in Abe's mind
he was already compiling the list.
:58:15
Two mg of oral triazolam...
:58:17
every seven hours induces a safe sleep state
and a minimal metabolic rate.
:58:23
At this continued state of rest...
:58:25
the human body breathes
0.3 liters of oxygen a minute...
:58:28
or roughly 2,000 liters in four days.
:58:31
A Class E oxygen tank holds 625 liters.
:58:35
To maintain hydration...
:58:36
the body cycles through a minimum
of two-and-a-half liters of water per day.
:58:40
Any food would be a luxury...
:58:43
but the small tank
of medical grade nitrous oxide...
:58:45
would be needed on the other side.
:58:48
Past the room that contained their machines
and up two levels...
:58:51
he made his way to another room...
:58:53
where he had stored what I will refer to
from here on as the Failsafe Machine.
