Air Page #5

We can't just open one

of the tanks and put me inside.

Yeah, why not?

What about the person

who's already in the tank?

What happens to him

when we pull him out?

- Well, I guess we kill him.

- What?

The only reason why we're here

is to keep these people alive.

They're the last remnants

of human civilisation.

F*** them.

We can't just decide

who lives and who dies!

You know what we can do?

Take care of ourselves.

No, you know what?

Take care of each other.

That's what families do.

Now, you need to pick one right now.

All right.

All right.

Morphine, good idea. Ticket to paradise.

Give him a heavy dose

while he's still inside.

Don't do this.

What choice do I have?

- There's another way.

- We don't have time.

It's as simple as ABC.

Hey, what's the matter with you?

- I can't do this.

- Yes, you can.

No, I'm not doing this.

Fine. Give me the needle,

I'll do it myself.

Listen, listen, listen,

there's another way.

Look, I know this breaks

your soft little heart...

but sometimes you've gotta sacrifice

a pawn to stay in the game.

- Don't let him.

- I said, I'm not doing this.

- Don't you wanna live?

- It's murder.

- We're techs, Bauer, not murderers!

- Come on.

What happens if they find out

through the next facilities?

Take a look around, man.

We're the only ones here!

It's not murder, it's survival.

Listen, we have an obligation

to keep these people alive.

You're a piece of work, man,

you know that?

Did you feel that?

That's what it's going to feel like

when the air runs out down here.

Your lungs starving for oxygen

and there isn't any.

Look, someone's gonna die, I'm sorry.

But you are not leaving me here alone.

Please, don't do it.

You'll thank me later.

- That's enough.

- What are you gonna do with that?

You gonna stab me with it?

Go ahead, cut my throat.

- Solve all your problems.

- Listen.

Try to save a guy's life

and he kicks you right in the nuts.

- You don't understand. Listen.

- No, you don't understand.

These people,

they got their ticket to the future...

by stepping on people like you and me!

You wanna trade your life

for one of theirs?

I told you, I have an idea.

Now are you with me or what?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm with you.

What are friends for, right?

Man, I don't know.

But the codes match.

ABC 108 here.

And ABC 108.

I'm telling you, there's another facility,

right here, next to us.

- Maybe.

- Come on.

It's too dangerous, man.

We don't even know what's out there.

They checked in. Look at the monitor.

There are people in that facility

with spare parts.

You're gonna have to break the red seal.

- Okay. It's a risk.

- It's a huge risk.

This facility's a fragile bubble.
