57:43 Oof. The moment I saw "aconitine", I facepalmed. Why aconitine, and not a heavy duty opiate? Aconitine has similar uses, it's an analgesic and can halt respiratory functions, but also like opiates, it's a massive emetic, aka it makes you barf. But opiates have a euphoric effect and make you sleepy, which in this case would have been a much better option than something that becomes a VERY toxic poison in moderate to high doses. I know, I'm questioning a false narrative, but this was just like injecting an angry bear with adrenaline. It was the worst possible option, all things considered. I just hope they didn't kill the poor thing. Look at me, getting worked up over a fictitious macroorganism.
Is it bad that as a zoologist, I'm legitimately sad that this thing isn't real? I want to study those allegedly tasty copepods. Gives new meaning to the term "gastropod". Nyuk nyuk.
