"What if we test all the blood and see which is safe to use?" Cabe suggested.

"Those tests take 12 hours, and a test can only be done on someone who was already infected because the viral loads higher when it's already incubated," Toby answered.

"Cabe, you need to get homeland to shut down the entire L.A. blood supply until it can get tested. No surgeries, no transfusions, nothing," Walter said.
