Pasc is devastated; with Etrec dying, he is left with nothing. He threatens to kill Helena unless the Eagle is released. Helena pleads with him to save his son by giving him a blood transfusion. The virus can be killed by first treating his blood with the serum. He refuses—he does not save life, he takes it...even his own son's. She berates him for his cowardice, running rather than fighting for the life of his child. Unexpectedly, Pasc agrees to the procedure. The transfusion is performed and Etrec's condition improves. Pasc, however, is fading fast.
