- 82
- 00:07:37,572 --> 00:07:39,608

- 84

- 87
- 00:07:54,389 --> 00:07:59,061

- I want to
- find a tomb like Tut's.
- 89
- 00:08:09,303 --> 00:08:10,638
- When I'm an archeologist.
- 90
- 00:08:11,473 --> 00:08:16,110
- No!
- 91
- 00:08:16,144 --> 00:08:18,114
- Oh, he's comin' for you.
- 92
- 00:08:19,447 --> 00:08:20,382
- Look!
- 93
- 00:08:20,415 --> 00:08:21,884
- Jo, put away
- that Book Of The Dead.
- 94
- 00:08:23,718 --> 00:08:25,220
- Stay away from him.
- 95
- 00:08:25,252 --> 00:08:28,289
- Ooh!
- 96
- 00:08:28,322 --> 00:08:29,590

- Hey...
- 101
- 00:08:43,171 --> 00:08:45,641
- Us girls are having a
- little party here later.
- 102
- 00:08:45,673 --> 00:08:47,742
- - At midnight.
- - Here?
- 103
- 00:08:47,775 --> 00:08:48,576
- That's right.
- 104
- 00:08:49,577 --> 00:08:51,179
- See you then?
- 105
- 00:08:57,586 --> 00:08:58,788
- La la la la!
- 106
- 00:09:05,460 --> 00:09:07,095
- What happened this week?
- 107
- 00:09:07,128 --> 00:09:08,096
- Hmm?
- 108
- 00:09:08,129 --> 00:09:09,731
- You're short by 100 dials.
- 109
- 00:09:13,268 --> 00:09:14,670
- Mr. Leech happened.
- 110
- 00:09:16,638 --> 00:09:18,507
- I promise I'll do
- better this week.
- 111
- 00:09:20,408 --> 00:09:21,744
- I'm docking your allowance.
- 112
- 00:09:24,479 --> 00:09:26,615
- Could you like
- move for a little?
- 113
- 00:09:26,648 --> 00:09:27,449
- Thank you.
- 114
- 00:09:53,674 --> 00:09:55,076
- In the words of Valentino,
- 115
- 00:09:56,311 --> 00:09:58,314
- I'm not afraid of
- the dead, or ghosts.
- 116
- 00:09:59,514 --> 00:10:01,549
- I'm not afraid of
- the life beyond.
- 117
- 00:10:01,582 --> 00:10:03,918
- And it's not because
- I don't believe in it.
- 118
- 00:10:05,186 --> 00:10:06,522
- It's because I do.
- 119
- 00:10:14,663 --> 00:10:16,398
- Better not get fired for this.
- 120
- 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,238
- Jo, stop
- being such a worrywort.
- 121
- 00:10:24,072 --> 00:10:26,107
- Now think about your question,
- 122
- 00:10:26,140 --> 00:10:29,211
- and put all of that
- energy into the cards.
- 123
- 00:10:31,011 --> 00:10:33,481
- When will I become famous?
- 124
- 00:10:34,716 --> 00:10:37,653
- When will I become famous?
- 125
- 00:10:41,288 --> 00:10:42,857
- - Someone's here!
- - Spirits!
- 126
- 00:10:42,890 --> 00:10:44,158
- Someone's here, come on!
- 127
- 00:10:44,192 --> 00:10:46,662
- Let's hide in Leech's office!
- 128
- 00:10:53,268 --> 00:10:55,571
- Mr. Leech's office is cold.
- 129
- 00:10:57,371 --> 00:10:59,573
- - What if it's Leech?
- - What if it's Butkiss?
- 130
- 00:10:59,606 --> 00:11:01,009
- What if it's Mr. Roeder?
- 131
- 00:11:05,245 --> 00:11:06,615
- Uh, hi Walt!
- 132
- 00:11:06,648 --> 00:11:08,850
- Bye, Walt!
- 133
- 00:11:08,883 --> 00:11:10,451
- Bye.
- 134
- 00:11:13,421 --> 00:11:14,690
- Hi!
- 135
- 00:11:14,722 --> 00:11:16,791
- It looks like
- a galaxy in here.
- 136
- 00:11:16,825 --> 00:11:18,427
- Yeah, it does.
- 137
- 00:11:18,460 --> 00:11:20,394
- If you let your
- eyes go all soft,
- 138
- 00:11:20,427 --> 00:11:21,697
- it looks like the night sky.
- 139
- 00:11:24,264 --> 00:11:25,934
- Wow, look at this clock.
- 140
- 00:11:29,504 --> 00:11:30,906
- What...
- 141
- 00:11:33,674 --> 00:11:34,709
- It's Mary.
- 142
- 00:11:36,311 --> 00:11:37,312
- Is she famous?
- 143
- 00:11:37,345 --> 00:11:39,681
- No, no, she's my sister.
- 144
- 00:11:39,714 --> 00:11:41,083
- She used to work here.
- 145
- 00:11:43,751 --> 00:11:45,553
- She passed away three years ago.
- 146
- 00:11:46,553 --> 00:11:49,124
- She practically
- raised me and Jo.
- 147
- 00:11:49,157 --> 00:11:51,126
- Our parents died
- when we were young.
- 148
- 00:11:51,158 --> 00:11:52,626
- Sorry.
- 149
- 00:11:52,659 --> 00:11:56,398
- - Mr. Leech is such a creep.
- - No kidding.
- 150
- 00:11:59,067 --> 00:12:00,534
- Hey...
- 151
- 00:12:00,567 --> 00:12:03,271
- Do you wanna go to a party
- maybe with me next weekend?
- 152
- 00:12:04,172 --> 00:12:06,742
- A party?
- 153
- 00:12:06,774 --> 00:12:08,776
- I love parties!
- 154
- 00:12:08,809 --> 00:12:11,813
- - Yeah, sure!
- - All right!
- 155
- 00:12:14,682 --> 00:12:15,649
- Come on, let's go!
- 156
- 00:13:38,500 --> 00:13:39,400
- Hey, Mary.
- 157
- 00:13:39,433 --> 00:13:40,235
- Um...
- 158
- 00:13:41,402 --> 00:13:43,038
- I'm sorry I've been
- hiding from you.
- 159
- 00:13:47,375 --> 00:13:51,846
- Look what I found in Mr.
- Leech's office, of all places.
- 160
- 00:14:07,562 --> 00:14:08,629
- What is this?
- 161
- 00:14:31,451 --> 00:14:33,754
- "Pardon me, but I'm in love."
- 162
- 00:14:39,394 --> 00:14:40,394
- I'm in love?
- 163
- 00:14:45,500 --> 00:14:46,301
- Jo!
- 164
- 00:14:47,168 --> 00:14:47,903
- Jo!
- 165
- 00:14:54,208 --> 00:14:55,609
- Jo, Jo, are you in there?
- 166
- 00:14:55,643 --> 00:14:57,946
- - Jo!
- - Don't come in, please.
- 167
- 00:14:57,979 --> 00:15:00,014
- Jo, was Mary in
- love with Leech?
- 168
- 00:15:00,048 --> 00:15:01,750
- You'll wake the
- neighborhood, Bessie.
- 169
- 00:15:01,783 --> 00:15:02,716
- What?
- 170
- 00:15:02,750 --> 00:15:03,817
- I'm coming in.
- 171
- 00:15:03,850 --> 00:15:05,486
- Josephine?
- 172
- 00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:07,655
- Do you understand
- what go away means?
- 173
- 00:15:10,057 --> 00:15:11,393
- - Um...
- - Please leave.
- 174
- 00:15:14,596 --> 00:15:17,198
- Jo, I think that
- you need a doctor.
- 175
- 00:15:17,231 --> 00:15:18,466
- No, I just feel tired.
- 176
- 00:15:20,434 --> 00:15:22,436
- You can tell Butkiss
- I'll be late today.
- 177
- 00:15:26,673 --> 00:15:27,675
- Okay.
- 178
- 00:15:41,755 --> 00:15:44,625
- Oh, um, Mr. Roeder, sir?
- 179
- 00:15:44,658 --> 00:15:45,994
- - Hi.
- - Yes, what is it?
- 180
- 00:15:46,027 --> 00:15:49,998
- Do you know of a doctor that
- my sister Jo could go see?
- 181
- 00:15:50,030 --> 00:15:52,666
- I don't know what's wrong
- with her exactly, but...
- 182
- 00:15:52,700 --> 00:15:53,569
- Does she work here?
- 183
- 00:15:54,668 --> 00:15:56,837
- Yes, Josephine Cavallo.
- 184
- 00:15:56,870 --> 00:15:59,073
- She won the most painted
- dials this month.
- 185
- 00:16:00,041 --> 00:16:02,576
- Ah, I'm very busy.
- 186
- 00:16:02,610 --> 00:16:03,912
- Wait, no no, please, please!
- 187
- 00:16:05,312 --> 00:16:06,847
- Please.
- 188
- 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,350
- All right.
- 189
- 00:16:08,383 --> 00:16:11,320
- I'll have the company doctor
- call on her this week.
- 190
- 00:16:12,386 --> 00:16:13,153
- Thank you, sir.
- 191
- 00:16:13,187 --> 00:16:13,989
- Thank you so much.
- 192
- 00:16:15,623 --> 00:16:17,492
- Bessie Cavallo!
- 193
- 00:16:17,524 --> 00:16:18,526
- Get in here.
- 194
- 00:16:24,264 --> 00:16:25,634
- Any day, Cavallo.
- 195
- 00:16:35,976 --> 00:16:38,145
- I've been wondering if the world
- 196
- 00:16:38,178 --> 00:16:41,682
- isn't one universe, but many.
- 197
- 00:16:41,716 --> 00:16:42,650
- A multiverse.
- 198
- 00:16:45,086 --> 00:16:49,725
- One for each future
- that could've been.
- 199
- 00:16:52,626 --> 00:16:55,129
- - Listen, Mary...
- - It's Bessie.
- 200
- 00:17:03,671 --> 00:17:05,641
- Your work suffers,
- Ms. Cavallo.
- 201
- 00:17:07,642 --> 00:17:09,177
- The four is abominable,
- 202
- 00:17:09,210 --> 00:17:11,680
- and the eight looks
- like a fat toddler.
- 203
- 00:17:14,182 --> 00:17:15,784
- I'm docking your pay again.
- 204
- 00:17:21,422 --> 00:17:22,624
- Is that all?
- 205
- 00:17:23,825 --> 00:17:25,460
- We have to sell
- the watches you paint
- 206
- 00:17:25,492 --> 00:17:26,961
- for the same price
- as all the rest.
- 207
- 00:17:26,993 --> 00:17:28,763
- Do you understand
- that, Ms. Cavallo?
- 208
- 00:17:30,431 --> 00:17:31,232
- Yes, I do.
- 209
- 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:33,801
- Do you?
- 210
- 00:17:37,038 --> 00:17:38,606
- I do, Mr. Leech.
- 211
- 00:18:01,662 --> 00:18:03,298
- Josephine Cavallo?
- 212
- 00:18:03,330 --> 00:18:04,799
- I'm Bessie, come on in.
- 213
- 00:18:06,666 --> 00:18:08,069
- Jo, he's here!
- 214
- 00:18:12,707 --> 00:18:15,844
- - Hello.
- - I'm Dr. Flint.
- 215
- 00:18:15,876 --> 00:18:16,610
- Jo.
- 216
- 00:18:20,948 --> 00:18:23,184
- You've been under the weather?
- 217
- 00:18:23,217 --> 00:18:24,519
- I'm dizzy.
- 218
- 00:18:24,551 --> 00:18:25,653
- My joints ache.
- 219
- 00:18:26,653 --> 00:18:28,823
- I lost a tooth, and
- two others are loose.
- 220
- 00:18:28,855 --> 00:18:29,657
- Hmm...
- 221
- 00:18:30,557 --> 00:18:32,059
- Now aren't you falling apart?
- 222
- 00:18:34,895 --> 00:18:36,530
- Open.
- 223
- 00:18:36,564 --> 00:18:37,499
- Tongue out.
- 224
- 00:18:40,434 --> 00:18:43,038
- Is good hygiene
- difficult for you?
- 225
- 00:18:44,806 --> 00:18:45,606
- No.
- 226
- 00:18:46,207 --> 00:18:47,675
- I'm going to give you
- a pamphlet I produced
- 227
- 00:18:47,708 --> 00:18:49,044
- at Columbia University.
- 228
- 00:18:50,478 --> 00:18:54,916
- We may have different
- definitions of good hygiene.
- 229
- 00:18:56,183 --> 00:18:57,853
- Do you know what's
- wrong with me?
- 230
- 00:18:58,885 --> 00:19:00,055
- Absolutely nothing.
- 231
- 00:19:01,489 --> 00:19:03,057
- You're as healthy as a horse.
- 232
- 00:19:03,089 --> 00:19:05,025
- But the pain, sir?
- 233
- 00:19:07,260 --> 00:19:10,231
- I can run a few tests
- that'll make you feel better.
- 234
- 00:19:12,066 --> 00:19:13,067
- Thank you.
- 235
- 00:19:14,669 --> 00:19:16,104
- Okay, open up.
- 236
- 00:19:17,505 --> 00:19:18,306
- Ow.
- 237
- 00:19:22,143 --> 00:19:23,644
- Ow.
- 238
- 00:19:23,678 --> 00:19:24,679
- Hmm...
- 239
- 00:19:29,250 --> 00:19:30,451
- Thank you, Josephine.
- 240
- 00:19:32,686 --> 00:19:33,687
- Thank you.
- 241
- 00:19:38,392 --> 00:19:40,995
- Maybe I should just stay
- home with you tonight.
- 242
- 00:19:41,028 --> 00:19:42,764
- What if Walt wants to...
- 243
- 00:19:42,797 --> 00:19:44,065
- What if he wants to...
- 244
- 00:19:45,665 --> 00:19:47,034
- Do it.
- 245
- 00:19:47,067 --> 00:19:48,769
- Tell him you're
- joining a convent.
- 246
- 00:19:48,803 --> 00:19:52,373
- What if he tries to
- talk to me about politics
- 247
- 00:19:52,405 --> 00:19:55,143
- and realizes that I'm not smart?
- 248
- 00:19:55,175 --> 00:19:56,644
- You're plenty smart.
- 249
- 00:19:57,912 --> 00:20:00,081
- Just not about politics.
- 250
- 00:20:00,114 --> 00:20:04,251
- Josephine, can you
- just give me something?
- 251
- 00:20:04,285 --> 00:20:05,086
- Please?
- 252
- 00:20:08,256 --> 00:20:10,291
- Congress is carving a monument
- 253
- 00:20:10,324 --> 00:20:12,660
- into a South Dakota mountain.
- 254
- 00:20:12,692 --> 00:20:15,396
- For tourism, you know,
- presidents' faces.
- 255
- 00:20:17,898 --> 00:20:19,533
- Why do you know that?
- 256
- 00:20:20,401 --> 00:20:21,603
- It reminds me of the pyramids.
- 257
- 00:20:30,111 --> 00:20:31,913
- Be careful, okay?
- 258
- 00:20:31,945 --> 00:20:32,746
- Yeah.
- 259
- 00:20:34,214 --> 00:20:35,549
- You should get some rest.
- 260
- 00:21:06,681 --> 00:21:09,217
- Hope you're not
- an ax murderer.
- 261
- 00:21:09,250 --> 00:21:10,618
- It's too late for
- you now if I am.
- 262
- 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,088
- I'm not going
- to sleep with you.
- 263
- 00:21:15,122 --> 00:21:15,923
- Ever?
- 264
- 00:21:18,992 --> 00:21:19,894
- Go ahead.
- 265
- 00:21:24,932 --> 00:21:26,735
- - Password?
- - Garbanzo.
- 266
- 00:21:28,702 --> 00:21:31,439
- I've never been to a party
- with a password before.
- 267
- 00:21:33,207 --> 00:21:34,208
- Welcome.
- 268
- 00:21:40,847 --> 00:21:42,517
- You made it!
- 269
- 00:21:42,549 --> 00:21:43,651
- Have you seen the
- new protest footage?
- 270
- 00:21:43,683 --> 00:21:44,618
- No.
- 271
- 00:21:44,652 --> 00:21:45,753
- - Welcome.
- - Hi, I'm Bessie.
- 272
- 00:21:45,786 --> 00:21:46,821
- - Thomas.
- - Nice to meet you.
- 273
- 00:21:46,854 --> 00:21:49,324
- - Make yourself at home.
- - Thank you.
- 274
- 00:22:05,239 --> 00:22:06,941
- Wasted resources
- in that country.
- 275
- 00:22:06,973 --> 00:22:07,875
- Exactly.
- 276
- 00:22:07,907 --> 00:22:09,209
- We should be worried about
- 277
- 00:22:09,242 --> 00:22:11,512
- what's going on
- in the home front.
- 278
- 00:22:13,446 --> 00:22:14,415
- - Hi.
- - Hey.
- 279
- 00:22:16,651 --> 00:22:19,254
- Oh my, are your nails glowin'?
- 280
- 00:22:20,186 --> 00:22:22,623
- - I'm Bessie.
- - Etta.
- 281
- 00:22:23,923 --> 00:22:26,360
- Bessie, Etta is one of
- the best camera operators
- 282
- 00:22:26,394 --> 00:22:27,694
- this side of the Mississippi.
- 283
- 00:22:27,728 --> 00:22:28,529
- She sure is.
- 284
- 00:22:29,529 --> 00:22:30,999
- Do you shoot motion pictures?
- 285
- 00:22:33,601 --> 00:22:37,038
- Have you seen
- Valentino's latest?
- 286
- 00:22:37,070 --> 00:22:38,772
- I shoot real life.
- 287
- 00:22:43,344 --> 00:22:48,350
- If I could just live inside
- one of his films, I would.
- 288
- 00:22:49,482 --> 00:22:50,550
- Those films are made
- to distract people
- 289
- 00:22:50,584 --> 00:22:53,388
- from what's goin' on
- right in front of 'em.
- 290
- 00:22:53,421 --> 00:22:55,390
- What are we
- talkin' about here?
- 291
- 00:22:55,423 --> 00:22:56,457
- Cinema.
- 292
- 00:22:56,490 --> 00:22:58,226
- Hollywood pushing propaganda.
- 293
- 00:23:01,895 --> 00:23:04,699
- - Wanna go outside?
- - Yeah, sure.
- 294
- 00:23:05,965 --> 00:23:07,834
- Lovely to meet
- you, Thomas, Etta.
- 295
- 00:23:07,867 --> 00:23:08,636
- Yes.
- 296
- 00:23:09,703 --> 00:23:11,572
- Wait, who's she?
- 297
- 00:23:14,008 --> 00:23:14,776
- Bess.
- 298
- 00:23:19,113 --> 00:23:22,350
- Did you know that Congress
- is building a mountain
- 299
- 00:23:22,383 --> 00:23:23,684
- into the side...
- 300
- 00:23:25,819 --> 00:23:28,423
- No, no, that's not what I meant!
- 301
- 00:23:28,455 --> 00:23:31,358
- I meant that they are
- carving a sculpture
- 302
- 00:23:31,392 --> 00:23:33,628
- into the side of a mountain.
- 303
- 00:23:33,661 --> 00:23:34,762
- Presidents' faces.
- 304
- 00:23:34,795 --> 00:23:37,065
- Yeah, it's on sacred
- Native American land.
- 305
- 00:23:38,598 --> 00:23:40,801
- Yeah, it reminds
- me of the pyramids.
- 306
- 00:23:42,403 --> 00:23:44,439
- Did you know they were
- built by slave labor?
- 307
- 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,543
- I did not.
- 308
- 00:23:48,576 --> 00:23:50,879
- But Jo knows
- everything about them.
- 309
- 00:23:54,013 --> 00:23:55,582
- There's something
- wrong with her.
- 310
- 00:23:56,584 --> 00:23:58,887
- - With who?
- - Jo.
- 311
- 00:24:00,688 --> 00:24:04,592
- She lost a tooth, and
- her face is all puffy.
- 312
- 00:24:06,393 --> 00:24:07,562
- Did she see a doctor?
- 313
- 00:24:08,695 --> 00:24:12,666
- Mr. Roeder, from
- work, sent us someone.
- 314
- 00:24:12,700 --> 00:24:15,803
- And he's running some tests,
- but he says that she's fine.
- 315
- 00:24:15,836 --> 00:24:16,604
- Um...
- 316
- 00:24:18,105 --> 00:24:20,875
- Well, I know of this woman
- who helps sick workers.
- 317
- 00:24:22,108 --> 00:24:23,778
- May be a long shot, but...
- 318
- 00:24:24,644 --> 00:24:26,013
- Yes, please, anything.
- 319
- 00:24:33,420 --> 00:24:35,056
- Full service here, huh?
- 320
- 00:24:52,205 --> 00:24:53,006
- How's Jo?
- 321
- 00:24:55,009 --> 00:24:57,612
- We're still waiting
- on the doctor's results.
- 322
- 00:24:58,679 --> 00:24:59,480
- Thanks.
- 323
- 00:25:25,439 --> 00:25:27,341
- This is a waste of time.
- 324
- 00:25:27,374 --> 00:25:28,209
- No it's not.
- 325
- 00:25:35,583 --> 00:25:37,652
- Uh, 'scuse me sir?
- 326
- 00:25:37,684 --> 00:25:40,254
- - I'm looking for Miss...
- - Call me Wiley.
- 327
- 00:25:42,655 --> 00:25:45,092
- - Tea?
- - No thank you.
- 328
- 00:25:47,994 --> 00:25:50,163
- What brings you to
- the Consumer's League?
- 329
- 00:25:50,196 --> 00:25:52,232
- Walt gave me your card
- 330
- 00:25:52,266 --> 00:25:54,602
- after I told him
- that Jo was sick.
- 331
- 00:25:54,634 --> 00:25:57,471
- He said that you
- help sick workers.
- 332
- 00:25:57,503 --> 00:25:59,206
- - Mm-hmm.
- - I'm Jo.
- 333
- 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:00,607
- This isn't a doctor's office.
- 334
- 00:26:00,641 --> 00:26:02,509
- I'm not a doctor.
- 335
- 00:26:02,542 --> 00:26:04,278
- Then how do you
- help sick workers?
- 336
- 00:26:05,980 --> 00:26:07,949
- I told you this was
- a waste of time.
- 337
- 00:26:07,981 --> 00:26:09,549
- Just because you don't
- like Walt doesn't...
- 338
- 00:26:09,583 --> 00:26:12,119
- Girls, girls.
- 339
- 00:26:12,152 --> 00:26:13,086
- Where do you work?
- 340
- 00:26:14,288 --> 00:26:15,222
- American Radium.
- 341
- 00:26:16,656 --> 00:26:18,058
- Ah.
- 342
- 00:26:18,092 --> 00:26:19,527
- You're dial painters.
- 343
- 00:26:19,559 --> 00:26:20,494
- Yes.
- 344
- 00:26:21,428 --> 00:26:22,564
- What do you do here?
- 345
- 00:26:23,763 --> 00:26:26,433
- We study industrial toxins
- 346
- 00:26:26,467 --> 00:26:28,569
- and use the legal system
- to protect workers
- 347
- 00:26:28,602 --> 00:26:29,571
- from exposure to them.
- 348
- 00:26:31,905 --> 00:26:33,441
- We've been collecting data
- 349
- 00:26:33,473 --> 00:26:36,510
- on a number of suspicious
- radium dial painter illnesses.
- 350
- 00:26:37,644 --> 00:26:38,445
- Pardon me?
- 351
- 00:26:39,646 --> 00:26:41,615
- We believe that
- exposure to radium
- 352
- 00:26:41,648 --> 00:26:44,418
- can cause devastating
- tissue damage.
- 353
- 00:26:45,451 --> 00:26:49,257
- - Tissue damage?
- - Wait, radium?
- 354
- 00:26:49,289 --> 00:26:54,295
- Radium is good
- for you, everyone knows that.
- 355
- 00:26:55,695 --> 00:26:57,464
- And how do you
- plan on proving it?
- 356
- 00:26:58,699 --> 00:27:01,236
- We've been trying to exhume
- a deceased dial painter.
- 357
- 00:27:03,269 --> 00:27:06,273
- It's the first step in understanding
- what could be going on.
- 358
- 00:27:08,776 --> 00:27:11,579
- - What's exhume?
- - It's dig up.
- 359
- 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,016
- Our sister was a dial painter.
- 360
- 00:27:16,215 --> 00:27:17,684
- She passed away three years ago.
- 361
- 00:27:18,652 --> 00:27:19,621
- Um, syphilis.
- 362
- 00:27:20,820 --> 00:27:21,889
- How dare you?
- 363
- 00:27:22,756 --> 00:27:26,727
- That's a convenient diagnosis.
- 364
- 00:27:26,759 --> 00:27:29,297
- Something a woman would
- never want to talk about.
- 365
- 00:27:34,268 --> 00:27:37,005
- This could be the breakthrough
- we've been waiting for.
- 366
- 00:27:39,038 --> 00:27:41,442
- - With your permission...
- - We're leaving.
- 367
- 00:27:41,474 --> 00:27:44,278
- - Thank you.
- - Think about it.
- 368
- 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,516
- - Thank you.
- - I'll be here.
- 369
- 00:28:11,471 --> 00:28:13,173
- - They're cursed, you know.
- - Who?
- 370
- 00:28:14,575 --> 00:28:17,612
- Those men who
- unearthed King Tut's tomb.
- 371
- 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:22,983
- Curses aren't real.
- 372
- 00:28:23,017 --> 00:28:24,818
- They are if you
- desecrate the dead.
- 373
- 00:28:28,555 --> 00:28:30,524
- In the Book Of The Dead, it
- says that in the afterlife
- 374
- 00:28:30,557 --> 00:28:33,760
- your heart is weighed
- against the feather of truth.
- 375
- 00:28:41,501 --> 00:28:43,604
- If your heart is lighter
- than the feather,
- 376
- 00:28:43,636 --> 00:28:48,175
- then your soul goes on
- to meet the sun god, Ra.
- 377
- 00:28:52,311 --> 00:28:57,282
- But, if it's heavier,
- then you get devoured
- 378
- 00:28:57,284 --> 00:28:58,419
- by the soul eater.
- 379
- 00:28:59,452 --> 00:29:02,723
- - It's a myth, Bessie.
- - Says you.
- 380
- 00:29:03,523 --> 00:29:04,658
- It was real to them.
- 381
- 00:29:09,596 --> 00:29:12,165
- I'm scared of the soul eater.
- 382
- 00:29:12,199 --> 00:29:13,735
- That's why I always
- tell the truth.
- 383
- 00:29:15,435 --> 00:29:16,236
- Oh, do you?
- 384
- 00:29:18,672 --> 00:29:21,241
- Maat, goddess of the truth.
- 385
- 00:29:23,410 --> 00:29:24,979
- - I
- - prefer artifacts.
- 386
- 00:29:39,358 --> 00:29:42,663
- - Dr. Flint!
- - Is Josephine home?
- 387
- 00:29:42,695 --> 00:29:44,397
- Yes actually, she's here.
- 388
- 00:29:44,431 --> 00:29:45,232
- Come in.
- 389
- 00:29:54,708 --> 00:29:56,944
- I wanted to bring you
- the results right away.
- 390
- 00:29:56,977 --> 00:29:57,778
- What is it?
- 391
- 00:29:58,644 --> 00:30:00,280
- I'm afraid you have syphilis.
- 392
- 00:30:02,516 --> 00:30:05,486
- You're in shock, I can tell.
- 393
- 00:30:05,519 --> 00:30:06,686
- It's a nasty disease.
- 394
- 00:30:07,653 --> 00:30:09,690
- No, it's impossible.
- 395
- 00:30:09,722 --> 00:30:10,524
- I'm a virgin.
- 396
- 00:30:14,795 --> 00:30:16,397
- - Aren't we all?
- - Dr. Flint!
- 397
- 00:30:18,265 --> 00:30:20,201
- Some of the symptoms
- can be managed,
- 398
- 00:30:20,233 --> 00:30:22,269
- but I'm afraid there is no cure.
- 399
- 00:30:24,471 --> 00:30:25,272
- I'm sorry.
- 400
- 00:30:26,839 --> 00:30:28,241
- You have any questions?
- 401
- 00:30:30,277 --> 00:30:32,413
- - Syphilis?
- - Uh, no.
- 402
- 00:30:33,980 --> 00:30:35,516
- Who has syphilis?
- 403
- 00:30:35,548 --> 00:30:36,951
- Not Josephine!
- 404
- 00:30:36,983 --> 00:30:38,418
- Grandpa, you don't know
- what you're talking about.
- 405
- 00:30:38,451 --> 00:30:40,587
- - Lazy old man.
- - Go to your room!
- 406
- 00:30:44,557 --> 00:30:45,492
- Go on!
- 407
- 00:30:48,060 --> 00:30:49,262
- Jo!
- 408
- 00:31:05,244 --> 00:31:08,482
- I found this diary
- in Mary's old chest.
- 409
- 00:31:18,392 --> 00:31:19,192
- Jo, listen.
- 410
- 00:31:21,060 --> 00:31:24,097
- "Sweet Leech is acting strange.
- 411
- 00:31:24,131 --> 00:31:26,334
- "He warned me not
- to lick the brush.
- 412
- 00:31:27,601 --> 00:31:29,803
- "Mrs. Butkiss says it will
- put a glow in my cheeks,
- 413
- 00:31:29,836 --> 00:31:33,973
- "but Leech says that
- radium is dangerous.
- 414
- 00:31:34,007 --> 00:31:35,610
- "Could that be true?"
- 415
- 00:31:38,211 --> 00:31:39,079
- Leech said that?
- 416
- 00:31:40,580 --> 00:31:41,781
- I guess so, but...
- 417
- 00:31:49,056 --> 00:31:51,092
- You're making my serious face.
- 418
- 00:31:53,794 --> 00:31:55,062
- I believe you, you know.
- 419
- 00:31:57,163 --> 00:31:58,398
- You can't have syphilis.
- 420
- 00:32:02,368 --> 00:32:04,704
- I mean, you hate boys!
- 421
- 00:32:09,108 --> 00:32:11,645
- Dr. Flint is not a
- very good doctor.
- 422
- 00:32:12,712 --> 00:32:13,681
- Yeah.
- 423
- 00:32:15,382 --> 00:32:16,484
- Or he's lying.
- 424
- 00:32:21,188 --> 00:32:23,124
- Kiss from Maat,
- goddess of truth?
- 425
- 00:32:32,598 --> 00:32:33,600
- We have to do it.
- 426
- 00:32:36,569 --> 00:32:39,373
- Do you think that
- Mary will forgive us?
- 427
- 00:32:39,405 --> 00:32:40,207
- I do.
- 428
- 00:32:42,142 --> 00:32:44,778
- I think she'd like being
- part of solving this mystery.
- 429
- 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:48,281
- Yeah.
- 430
- 00:33:22,782 --> 00:33:25,251
- Levels of radioactivity
- in Mary's bones
- 431
- 00:33:25,285 --> 00:33:28,689
- are one thousand
- times the safe limit.
- 432
- 00:33:28,721 --> 00:33:31,091
- Radium poisoning was
- her cause of death.
- 433
- 00:33:37,330 --> 00:33:39,933
- I thought you were just magic.
- 434
- 00:33:47,874 --> 00:33:49,610
- It's gonna be better.
- 435
- 00:34:04,790 --> 00:34:06,559
- What does this mean for us?
- 436
- 00:34:06,593 --> 00:34:08,162
- I'm afraid you're
- both at risk.
- 437
- 00:34:09,996 --> 00:34:11,865
- Dr. Marland can examine you now.
- 438
- 00:34:55,541 --> 00:34:59,413
- Ms. Cavallo, you're lucky
- you didn't lick the paintbrush.
- 439
- 00:34:59,445 --> 00:35:00,748
- It may have saved your life.
- 440
- 00:35:02,681 --> 00:35:07,620
- Josephine, as the infection
- in your jaw progresses,
- 441
- 00:35:07,653 --> 00:35:10,056
- bone removal may
- become necessary.
- 442
- 00:35:11,056 --> 00:35:13,359
- I estimate it will be two years
- 443
- 00:35:13,393 --> 00:35:15,963
- before the radium
- necrosis becomes fatal.
- 444
- 00:36:16,088 --> 00:36:17,590
- We shot this
- footage last weekend
- 445
- 00:36:17,623 --> 00:36:20,560
- in front of the New
- York Stock Exchange.
- 446
- 00:36:20,594 --> 00:36:23,931
- Sacco and Vanzetti have been
- wrongfully convicted of murder
- 447
- 00:36:23,963 --> 00:36:26,467
- because of their
- political beliefs.
- 448
- 00:36:26,500 --> 00:36:30,170
- They're sentenced to death by
- a jury afraid of anarchists.
- 449
- 00:36:31,304 --> 00:36:33,574
- Is it illegal
- to be an anarchist?
- 450
- 00:36:33,606 --> 00:36:34,541
- No.
- 451
- 00:36:34,574 --> 00:36:35,809
- It's illegal to convict people
- 452
- 00:36:35,842 --> 00:36:37,677
- because you don't
- like their politics.
- 453
- 00:36:40,679 --> 00:36:42,782
- Anti-radical sentiment
- is running high,
- 454
- 00:36:42,815 --> 00:36:45,384
- and it doesn't help
- that they're immigrants.
- 455
- 00:36:45,418 --> 00:36:47,521
- What does it take to be heard?
- 456
- 00:36:48,454 --> 00:36:50,757
- These men, they are innocent!
- 457
- 00:36:50,789 --> 00:36:53,293
- And the people will bring
- the truth to the light.
- 458
- 00:36:53,326 --> 00:36:54,427
- Here, here!
- 459
- 00:36:55,862 --> 00:36:58,599
- I've never seen
- anything like this before.
- 460
- 00:36:58,632 --> 00:37:00,634
- Look how many
- people are out there.
- 461
- 00:37:01,768 --> 00:37:02,936
- These people are marching
- 462
- 00:37:02,969 --> 00:37:04,838
- because they care
- about the truth, right?
- 463
- 00:37:10,143 --> 00:37:13,146
- If people knew the truth about
- radium, they would march too.
- 464
- 00:38:09,202 --> 00:38:11,171
- Everyone, put down your brushes!
- 465
- 00:38:11,204 --> 00:38:12,306
- Miss Cavallo!
- 466
- 00:38:14,740 --> 00:38:16,476
- An autopsy of Mary showed
- 467
- 00:38:16,509 --> 00:38:19,012
- that there was
- radium in her bones.
- 468
- 00:38:19,045 --> 00:38:20,780
- Jo and I were just examined.
- 469
- 00:38:20,813 --> 00:38:23,115
- Miss Cavallo, you
- are sorely mistaken
- 470
- 00:38:23,148 --> 00:38:25,518
- if you think that you can
- continue working here.
- 471
- 00:38:25,552 --> 00:38:26,787
- I quit.
- 472
- 00:38:26,820 --> 00:38:28,588
- Everyone, you have to
- come to the doctor!
- 473
- 00:38:28,621 --> 00:38:30,489
- - Oh my God.
- - What is she...
- 474
- 00:38:30,523 --> 00:38:31,725
- Keep working!
- 475
- 00:38:31,757 --> 00:38:33,492
- Bessie, you're trespassing.
- 476
- 00:38:33,525 --> 00:38:35,628
- Radium is poison!
- 477
- 00:38:35,661 --> 00:38:36,797
- I won't abandon you!
- 478
- 00:38:36,829 --> 00:38:39,098
- That's enough, Miss Cavallo!
- 479
- 00:39:11,164 --> 00:39:12,566
- Why didn't you ask me first?
- 480
- 00:39:17,137 --> 00:39:19,840
- I thought you'd
- be proud of me.
- 481
- 00:39:22,509 --> 00:39:24,211
- Bessie, we have no income now.
- 482
- 00:39:25,612 --> 00:39:26,713
- Do you understand?
- 483
- 00:39:28,213 --> 00:39:29,849
- We only have our savings left.
- 484
- 00:39:32,585 --> 00:39:33,920
- Selfish girl.
- 485
- 00:39:36,523 --> 00:39:38,592
- Tomorrow you go ask
- for your job back.
- 486
- 00:39:41,561 --> 00:39:43,296
- - No!
- - I mean it.
- 487
- 00:39:43,329 --> 00:39:44,131
- No!
- 488
- 00:40:00,447 --> 00:40:01,682
- Everybody's mad at me.
- 489
- 00:40:03,048 --> 00:40:04,351
- I'm sorry.
- 490
- 00:40:04,384 --> 00:40:06,086
- Are you gonna look
- for another job?
- 491
- 00:40:07,686 --> 00:40:09,690
- Anything but dial painting.
- 492
- 00:40:10,757 --> 00:40:14,260
- Well, don't apply to
- the fireworks factory.
- 493
- 00:40:15,494 --> 00:40:16,896
- Huh?
- 494
- 00:40:16,929 --> 00:40:19,699
- Or the hattery, or the shoe
- factory, or the canning plant.
- 495
- 00:40:22,802 --> 00:40:25,672
- White phosphorus,
- mercury, benzene.
- 496
- 00:40:25,704 --> 00:40:26,773
- Chronic toxins.
- 497
- 00:40:26,806 --> 00:40:27,708
- Okay, okay.
- 498
- 00:40:27,740 --> 00:40:29,108
- Thanks for the pep talk, Walt.
- 499
- 00:40:31,376 --> 00:40:32,645
- This is serious.
- 500
- 00:40:33,847 --> 00:40:37,384
- Okay, girls are still working
- at the radium factory.
- 501
- 00:40:37,416 --> 00:40:38,617
- I know.
- 502
- 00:40:38,650 --> 00:40:39,452
- It's just...
- 503
- 00:40:40,820 --> 00:40:42,856
- There's a lot of world
- out there to change.
- 504
- 00:40:44,389 --> 00:40:46,826
- I don't want to
- see you let down.
- 505
- 00:40:46,860 --> 00:40:48,528
- The legal system won't help you.
- 506
- 00:41:17,090 --> 00:41:18,592
- Hey, Paula, Paula!
- 507
- 00:41:18,625 --> 00:41:20,594
- Hey, I'm trying to help you!
- 508
- 00:41:20,626 --> 00:41:22,929
- Paula, listen, what
- about your little boy?
- 509
- 00:41:22,961 --> 00:41:24,297
- Listen to me, there is a doctor
- 510
- 00:41:24,329 --> 00:41:26,567
- that can test if your
- bones are radioactive.
- 511
- 00:41:27,599 --> 00:41:29,201
- I don't know if I believe you.
- 512
- 00:41:29,235 --> 00:41:31,771
- Paula, six dial
- painters have already died
- 513
- 00:41:31,804 --> 00:41:34,540
- of inexplicable causes,
- one of them was my sister!
- 514
- 00:41:34,574 --> 00:41:36,043
- Do you believe that?
- 515
- 00:41:39,612 --> 00:41:42,081
- Hazel, Hazel, Hazel,
- thank goodness!
- 516
- 00:41:42,114 --> 00:41:44,550
- Hazel, don't you believe me?
- 517
- 00:41:44,583 --> 00:41:46,585
- Bessie, you sound crazy.
- 518
- 00:41:46,619 --> 00:41:48,655
- I'm not losing my job over this!
- 519
- 00:41:50,056 --> 00:41:50,858
- Stop!
- 520
- 00:41:54,193 --> 00:41:56,864
- Don't you at least want
- to know for yourselves?
- 521
- 00:42:11,610 --> 00:42:12,913
- Hi, can I help you?
- 522
- 00:42:12,945 --> 00:42:14,213
- We were sent by
- American Radium.
- 523
- 00:42:14,246 --> 00:42:17,984
- We're looking for Bessie
- and Josephine Cavallo.
- 524
- 00:42:19,184 --> 00:42:21,253
- - Yes, I'm Bessie.
- - What is it?
- 525
- 00:42:21,286 --> 00:42:23,823
- It's an offer from
- American Radium.
- 526
- 00:42:24,824 --> 00:42:28,162
- 300 dollars to
- appease your concerns.
- 527
- 00:42:30,096 --> 00:42:32,565
- It's about the
- radium poisoning?
- 528
- 00:42:32,599 --> 00:42:35,468
- No, this doesn't say
- anything about that.
- 529
- 00:42:35,501 --> 00:42:38,305
- American
- Radium cares for its employees.
- 530
- 00:42:40,505 --> 00:42:42,341
- What is the 300 dollars for?
- 531
- 00:42:43,742 --> 00:42:44,545
- Your signature.
- 532
- 00:42:47,914 --> 00:42:49,583
- - Oh boy..
- - I know.
- 533
- 00:42:50,916 --> 00:42:52,185
- 300 each?
- 534
- 00:42:54,152 --> 00:42:55,421
- We can't take this!
- 535
- 00:42:55,454 --> 00:42:57,289
- Bessie, this is
- a lot of money.
- 536
- 00:42:57,322 --> 00:42:59,358
- The offer stands for one week.
- 537
- 00:43:00,659 --> 00:43:01,661
- Think about it.
- 538
- 00:43:02,527 --> 00:43:07,399
- Thank you very much.
- 539
- 00:43:07,432 --> 00:43:09,936
- 300 dollars, that's
- 30 thousand dials!
- 540
- 00:43:11,336 --> 00:43:12,072
- No.
- 541
- 00:43:13,438 --> 00:43:15,107
- I would like to see
- what Wiley has to say
- 542
- 00:43:15,141 --> 00:43:16,376
- at the meeting tomorrow.
- 543
- 00:43:37,697 --> 00:43:39,499
- Say, isn't that festive?
- 544
- 00:43:39,532 --> 00:43:40,434
- Doris!
- 545
- 00:43:42,034 --> 00:43:42,835
- Mary?
- 546
- 00:43:43,902 --> 00:43:45,538
- You look so good.
- 547
- 00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:48,774
- Look at you!
- 548
- 00:43:48,807 --> 00:43:50,943
- Hi, it's...
- 549
- 00:43:50,976 --> 00:43:53,679
- Thank you, but I'm Bessie.
- 550
- 00:43:53,713 --> 00:43:57,617
- I'm Mary's little sister.
- 551
- 00:43:57,650 --> 00:44:01,153
- Bessie, Bessie...
- 552
- 00:44:01,186 --> 00:44:06,092
- You know me, I just haven't
- seen you since Mary's funeral.
- 553
- 00:44:06,125 --> 00:44:08,527
- Bessie, of course!
- 554
- 00:44:08,561 --> 00:44:10,597
- And Josephine!
- 555
- 00:44:11,463 --> 00:44:13,632
- - Hello.
- - Hello, Doris.
- 556
- 00:44:13,666 --> 00:44:14,868
- Hello!
- 557
- 00:44:17,469 --> 00:44:19,372
- - I need to sit down.
- - Sure.
- 558
- 00:44:24,043 --> 00:44:25,745
- Wasn't it a lifetime
- ago Mary and I
- 559
- 00:44:25,777 --> 00:44:28,648
- used to paint those dials
- for our boys overseas.
- 560
- 00:44:30,416 --> 00:44:32,753
- Doris, what brings you here?
- 561
- 00:44:33,853 --> 00:44:35,956
- Dr. Flint treated
- me for years.
- 562
- 00:44:37,123 --> 00:44:39,893
- He helped me with
- the pain, good man.
- 563
- 00:44:41,027 --> 00:44:42,596
- That's how Wiley found me.
- 564
- 00:44:45,731 --> 00:44:47,800
- I'm so pleased
- you're all here.
- 565
- 00:44:47,833 --> 00:44:50,703
- Paula, Bessie, Jo, I
- believe you know Doris.
- 566
- 00:44:57,242 --> 00:44:59,144
- I thought dozens of
- us were tested positive.
- 567
- 00:44:59,177 --> 00:45:00,313
- Where's everyone else?
- 568
- 00:45:02,148 --> 00:45:03,784
- Um, well...
- 569
- 00:45:04,983 --> 00:45:08,721
- Ingrid would not
- quit, and Edna...
- 570
- 00:45:08,755 --> 00:45:12,592
- Her father works
- for American Radium.
- 571
- 00:45:12,625 --> 00:45:13,793
- I say they're in denial.
- 572
- 00:45:15,027 --> 00:45:16,795
- Yes, or they took the money.
- 573
- 00:45:16,829 --> 00:45:17,964
- And why shouldn't we?
- 574
- 00:45:17,996 --> 00:45:19,165
- I have a family.
- 575
- 00:45:20,532 --> 00:45:24,536
- With the 300 we could live
- the next two years in peace.
- 576
- 00:45:24,570 --> 00:45:26,706
- An illusion of peace.
- 577
- 00:45:26,739 --> 00:45:29,342
- In this offer, American Radium
- 578
- 00:45:29,375 --> 00:45:32,179
- is denying the harmful
- effects of radium.
- 579
- 00:45:33,146 --> 00:45:34,614
- They're trying to silence you.
- 580
- 00:45:34,646 --> 00:45:36,648
- They must be stopped.
- 581
- 00:45:36,681 --> 00:45:38,651
- - By us?
- - Precisely.
- 582
- 00:45:39,619 --> 00:45:40,420
- Wiley, how?
- 583
- 00:45:41,721 --> 00:45:43,556
- We bring a lawsuit
- against them.
- 584
- 00:45:43,588 --> 00:45:46,893
- Force them to recognize
- radium is an industrial toxin.
- 585
- 00:45:46,925 --> 00:45:48,594
- The factory will be shut down.
- 586
- 00:45:48,628 --> 00:45:50,196
- And how many jobs
- will that take away?
- 587
- 00:45:50,228 --> 00:45:51,597
- They're toxic jobs.
- 588
- 00:45:51,630 --> 00:45:53,500
- Some people need those jobs,
- 589
- 00:45:53,532 --> 00:45:54,666
- and they're gonna
- blame us for this.
- 590
- 00:45:54,699 --> 00:45:55,568
- Paula...
- 591
- 00:45:57,570 --> 00:45:59,172
- I know you're here for a reason.
- 592
- 00:46:01,507 --> 00:46:02,509
- Sounds hard.
- 593
- 00:46:03,643 --> 00:46:05,512
- We just need help with
- the medical bills.
- 594
- 00:46:05,545 --> 00:46:06,813
- It is hard.
- 595
- 00:46:06,846 --> 00:46:08,581
- But if you commit,
- we can find a lawyer
- 596
- 00:46:08,614 --> 00:46:12,219
- and sue American Radium for
- the compensation you deserve.
- 597
- 00:46:13,052 --> 00:46:13,854
- Look at us.
- 598
- 00:46:15,454 --> 00:46:17,556
- How are you gonna
- find us a lawyer?
- 599
- 00:46:17,590 --> 00:46:19,459
- In a past life I was a lawyer.
- 600
- 00:46:20,425 --> 00:46:22,128
- Is she serious?
- 601
- 00:46:22,161 --> 00:46:24,496
- But it was just
- so much shouting.
- 602
- 00:46:24,530 --> 00:46:27,333
- Girls, powerful women
- behind the Consumer's League
- 603
- 00:46:27,365 --> 00:46:29,835
- like Alice Hamilton are with us.
- 604
- 00:46:29,869 --> 00:46:30,637
- Trust me.
- 605
- 00:46:37,577 --> 00:46:39,579
- Hi, my name is Bessie Cavallo.
- 606
- 00:46:39,612 --> 00:46:42,215
- I'm with the Consumer's
- League of New Jersey.
- 607
- 00:46:42,248 --> 00:46:44,550
- I worked at American
- Radium Corporation
- 608
- 00:46:44,583 --> 00:46:46,018
- and I was seeking a lawyer...
- 609
- 00:46:46,052 --> 00:46:48,588
- We're not
- getting involved in this.
- 610
- 00:46:49,621 --> 00:46:50,923
- Hello?
- 611
- 00:46:50,956 --> 00:46:52,391
- - I'm sorry?
- - How old are you?
- 612
- 00:46:52,425 --> 00:46:54,094
- I'm 17.
- 613
- 00:46:54,126 --> 00:46:56,395
- I'm seeking a lawyer to...
- 614
- 00:46:56,429 --> 00:46:57,963
- Hello?
- 615
- 00:46:57,996 --> 00:46:59,199
- I'm
- sorry honey, honestly.
- 616
- 00:46:59,231 --> 00:47:01,967
- It's not you, it's
- what you're up against.
- 617
- 00:47:02,001 --> 00:47:04,304
- American
- Radium's a good company.
- 618
- 00:47:04,336 --> 00:47:05,572
- Why are you stirring things up?
- 619
- 00:47:05,605 --> 00:47:06,972
- Imagine this, okay?
- 620
- 00:47:07,005 --> 00:47:10,576
- A sunny studio, young
- women working so hard
- 621
- 00:47:10,610 --> 00:47:14,547
- painting watch dials,
- instructed to lick the brush.
- 622
- 00:47:14,579 --> 00:47:17,150
- Whatever it takes,
- you understand?
- 623
- 00:47:18,518 --> 00:47:20,586
- The paint, poison.
- 624
- 00:47:20,619 --> 00:47:23,922
- The employer, American Radium.
- 625
- 00:47:23,956 --> 00:47:26,559
- We can't be
- undermined by a young girl.
- 626
- 00:47:27,626 --> 00:47:29,362
- Her name is Bessie Cavallo.
- 627
- 00:47:36,601 --> 00:47:37,936
- Hello?
- 628
- 00:47:37,969 --> 00:47:41,507
- Can you connect me with Mr.
- Henry Berry, Newark, New Jersey?
- 629
- 00:47:41,541 --> 00:47:43,443
- Just
- a minute, please.
- 630
- 00:47:57,489 --> 00:47:58,557
- Beautiful as a woman
- 631
- 00:47:58,590 --> 00:48:00,692
- in her moments in time.
- 632
- 00:48:00,726 --> 00:48:03,096
- A thousand beads of
- thought on a white string.
- 633
- 00:48:04,496 --> 00:48:07,099
- Stones of sunlight
- pile up in heaven.
- 634
- 00:48:08,501 --> 00:48:10,103
- They take the shapes of light.
- 635
- 00:48:12,405 --> 00:48:15,575
- Hey, will you help me
- practice my feeling spaces?
- 636
- 00:48:16,608 --> 00:48:17,976
- I'm studying.
- 637
- 00:48:18,010 --> 00:48:20,213
- I have to be ready
- to be discovered.
- 638
- 00:48:21,614 --> 00:48:22,849
- Come on, just one round.
- 639
- 00:48:24,217 --> 00:48:26,619
- Action, sorrow.
- 640
- 00:48:30,322 --> 00:48:31,623
- Shock.
- 641
- 00:48:31,657 --> 00:48:33,559
- Melancholy.
- 642
- 00:48:33,592 --> 00:48:36,663
- Serenity, revulsion, rage.
- 643
- 00:48:37,597 --> 00:48:38,398
- Passion.
- 644
- 00:48:39,532 --> 00:48:41,000
- Ennui.
- 645
- 00:48:41,032 --> 00:48:42,367
- En what?
- 646
- 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:43,202
- Ennui.
- 647
- 00:48:45,538 --> 00:48:46,639
- It's infinite boredom.
- 648
- 00:48:51,143 --> 00:48:52,244
- Great, Miss Cavallo.
- 649
- 00:48:53,378 --> 00:48:55,447
- Producers will be in touch.
- 650
- 00:48:55,481 --> 00:48:56,283
- Thank you.
- 651
- 00:49:09,527 --> 00:49:11,630
- Consumer's
- League, how can I help you?
- 652
- 00:49:13,632 --> 00:49:15,201
- I want you all
- to meet Mr. Berry.
- 653
- 00:49:15,233 --> 00:49:16,702
- He's gonna represent you.
- 654
- 00:49:16,735 --> 00:49:17,603
- Hello, ladies.
- 655
- 00:49:17,637 --> 00:49:19,939
- Please call me Henry.
- 656
- 00:49:19,972 --> 00:49:21,807
- I feel as if I already know you.
- 657
- 00:49:23,509 --> 00:49:25,378
- He looks too young
- to be a lawyer.
- 658
- 00:49:26,579 --> 00:49:28,114
- I just passed
- the bar, actually.
- 659
- 00:49:28,146 --> 00:49:29,382
- But don't worry, I studied
- 660
- 00:49:29,414 --> 00:49:31,617
- all about workplace
- injury at school.
- 661
- 00:49:36,789 --> 00:49:41,160
- Now, once that we prove
- radium is poisonous,
- 662
- 00:49:41,193 --> 00:49:43,863
- we can win by proving
- that American Radium
- 663
- 00:49:43,896 --> 00:49:45,699
- has known of the
- danger for years.
- 664
- 00:49:46,766 --> 00:49:48,534
- We can prove that?
- 665
- 00:49:48,567 --> 00:49:50,469
- Yes, they did a
- study years ago.
- 666
- 00:49:50,503 --> 00:49:51,705
- The Drinker Report.
- 667
- 00:49:52,704 --> 00:49:54,407
- They knew about
- this before we did?
- 668
- 00:49:55,240 --> 00:49:56,541
- Do we have that report?
- 669
- 00:49:56,574 --> 00:49:57,777
- No.
- 670
- 00:49:57,809 --> 00:50:01,014
- If American Radium paid
- for it, they own it.
- 671
- 00:50:01,047 --> 00:50:03,416
- - Own research?
- - That's absurd!
- 672
- 00:50:03,449 --> 00:50:04,884
- It's like owning gravity.
- 673
- 00:50:04,916 --> 00:50:07,653
- Katherine Drinker isn't
- even allowed to talk about it.
- 674
- 00:50:09,621 --> 00:50:12,558
- Don't worry, three weeks
- from now, we'll be in court.
- 675
- 00:50:13,858 --> 00:50:15,994
- And let me just say, as the
- father of three daughters,
- 676
- 00:50:16,027 --> 00:50:17,997
- I'm honored to be a
- part of your fight.
- 677
- 00:50:30,175 --> 00:50:30,942
- Hey, that's her.
- 678
- 00:50:30,976 --> 00:50:31,778
- Cavallo girl.
- 679
- 00:50:33,244 --> 00:50:36,214
- Boss wouldn't mind if we
- clipped her, would he?
- 680
- 00:50:40,418 --> 00:50:42,187
- That big head
- belongs on her knees.
- 681
- 00:50:42,221 --> 00:50:43,523
- Go, go, go!
- 682
- 00:50:43,556 --> 00:50:44,856
- Hey, watch out!
- 683
- 00:50:44,889 --> 00:50:48,827
- - Get out of the road!
- - We know where you live!
- 684
- 00:51:04,677 --> 00:51:06,879
- Thank you for
- coming with me tonight.
- 685
- 00:51:06,911 --> 00:51:09,782
- Finally I get to see what
- all this commie fuss is about.
- 686
- 00:51:33,773 --> 00:51:36,443
- We made it through this year.
- 687
- 00:51:43,416 --> 00:51:44,784
- Hi!
- 688
- 00:51:53,092 --> 00:51:55,061
- Why don't you
- guys start, 10...
- 689
- 00:51:55,094 --> 00:51:58,463
- Nine, eight, seven, six,
- 690
- 00:51:58,496 --> 00:52:00,666
- five, four, three, two, one!
- 691
- 00:52:03,268 --> 00:52:04,503
- Happy new year!
- 692
- 00:52:10,175 --> 00:52:12,978
- - Happy new year.
- - Happy new year.
- 693
- 00:52:13,012 --> 00:52:14,481
- Happy new year.
- 694
- 00:52:15,614 --> 00:52:17,617
- Hey, no more for
- you, no more for you.
- 695
- 00:52:17,650 --> 00:52:21,521
- Hey, hey, hey, you
- know you like that.
- 696
- 00:52:21,554 --> 00:52:23,222
- Everybody, comerades!
- 697
- 00:52:23,255 --> 00:52:24,657
- - Speech!
- - Speech!
- 698
- 00:52:29,929 --> 00:52:34,733
- This year, I wanted
- to leave the smog
- 699
- 00:52:34,766 --> 00:52:37,836
- to be discovered
- and go to Hollywood.
- 700
- 00:52:37,869 --> 00:52:39,304
- Never to be seen again.
- 701
- 00:52:40,572 --> 00:52:43,241
- Never to be seen again!
- 702
- 00:52:43,275 --> 00:52:48,280
- But, instead, I saw
- America for the first time.
- 703
- 00:52:50,148 --> 00:52:51,384
- I saw it evil.
- 704
- 00:52:53,885 --> 00:52:56,355
- But you all taught me so much.
- 705
- 00:52:59,557 --> 00:53:03,061
- I am going to make
- American Radium
- 706
- 00:53:03,094 --> 00:53:04,529
- pay for what they've done.
- 707
- 00:53:04,563 --> 00:53:06,465
- - Tell 'em Bessie!
- - Yeah, and we'll be heard!
- 708
- 00:53:06,498 --> 00:53:07,666
- - Yeah!
- - Yeah!
- 709
- 00:53:10,568 --> 00:53:11,603
- On the ground, commies!
- 710
- 00:53:12,637 --> 00:53:13,338
- Get Jo!
- 711
- 00:53:13,371 --> 00:53:14,373
- Get Jo out of here right now!
- 712
- 00:53:14,405 --> 00:53:16,241
- Come on, Jo.
- 713
- 00:53:16,275 --> 00:53:17,610
- Let's go, Bessie!
- 714
- 00:53:17,643 --> 00:53:19,811
- I'm exercising my right
- to peaceful assembly!
- 715
- 00:53:19,844 --> 00:53:21,547
- Let's go.
- 716
- 00:53:21,579 --> 00:53:23,583
- - Come on, we have to go!
- - Etta!
- 717
- 00:53:23,615 --> 00:53:25,184
- I said get down!
- 718
- 00:53:27,652 --> 00:53:30,489
- - Etta, Etta!
- - Commie scum!
- 719
- 00:53:30,523 --> 00:53:32,158
- No!
- 720
- 00:53:32,190 --> 00:53:34,559
- We have a right to be here!
- 721
- 00:53:34,592 --> 00:53:35,827
- I'm sorry.
- 722
- 00:53:35,860 --> 00:53:38,163
- Miss Cavallo,
- you're under arrest.
- 723
- 00:53:41,266 --> 00:53:42,935
- How does he know your name?
- 724
- 00:53:45,603 --> 00:53:46,605
- Dammit Bess!
- 725
- 00:53:48,206 --> 00:53:49,208
- I'm sorry.
- 726
- 00:54:03,054 --> 00:54:04,623
- Everything's falling apart.
- 727
- 00:54:08,494 --> 00:54:09,562
- I'm so sorry.
- 728
- 00:54:11,230 --> 00:54:12,831
- I didn't know they
- could do that.
- 729
- 00:54:14,967 --> 00:54:16,702
- They can do
- anything they want.
- 730
- 00:54:18,436 --> 00:54:22,375
- That's why we have to make sure
- we capture our side of this.
- 731
- 00:54:27,980 --> 00:54:29,949
- Where did you learn
- to use a camera?
- 732
- 00:54:33,351 --> 00:54:35,855
- My family owned a
- photo studio in Tulsa.
- 733
- 00:54:37,623 --> 00:54:38,625
- Oklahoma.
- 734
- 00:54:40,358 --> 00:54:41,226
- Grew up with it.
- 735
- 00:54:42,628 --> 00:54:44,063
- Why did you leave Oklahoma?
- 736
- 00:54:45,597 --> 00:54:46,431
- Um...
- 737
- 00:54:47,532 --> 00:54:49,001
- 'Bout six and a half years ago,
- 738
- 00:54:50,936 --> 00:54:53,739
- the police and all the deputies,
- 739
- 00:54:53,771 --> 00:54:55,607
- they burnt down the
- whole neighborhood.
- 740
- 00:54:59,210 --> 00:55:01,446
- They said a black boy
- attacked a white girl.
- 741
- 00:55:02,414 --> 00:55:03,383
- Oh my God.
- 742
- 00:55:06,385 --> 00:55:08,454
- Can't the government
- do something?
- 743
- 00:55:09,688 --> 00:55:12,224
- Great War planes flew
- overhead, dropping firebombs.
- 744
- 00:55:14,693 --> 00:55:15,628
- What do you mean?
- 745
- 00:55:17,963 --> 00:55:19,865
- It was the government, Bess.
- 746
- 00:55:21,233 --> 00:55:23,570
- More than a thousand
- of our homes destroyed.
- 747
- 00:55:25,603 --> 00:55:28,340
- Why is there so much
- wrong in the world
- 748
- 00:55:28,373 --> 00:55:29,775
- that no one knows about?
- 749
- 00:55:34,512 --> 00:55:37,717
- It's easier to believe stories
- 750
- 00:55:37,750 --> 00:55:39,152
- that make us feel safe.
- 751
- 00:55:42,788 --> 00:55:44,657
- I don't feel very
- safe right now.
- 752
- 00:55:46,625 --> 00:55:48,994
- What if no one believes us?
- 753
- 00:55:50,762 --> 00:55:53,699
- What if they believe
- American Radium?
- 754
- 00:55:53,731 --> 00:55:55,268
- Don't give them a choice.
- 755
- 00:55:59,637 --> 00:56:02,375
- Is there anyone on the
- inside's got nothing to lose?
- 756
- 00:56:18,456 --> 00:56:19,724
- Your charges
- didn't stick.
- 757
- 00:56:19,757 --> 00:56:21,360
- You're free to go.
- 758
- 00:56:36,474 --> 00:56:39,478
- - Be safe, Etta.
- - You be safe, too.
- 759
- 00:57:06,438 --> 00:57:07,472
- Can I come in?
- 760
- 00:57:11,210 --> 00:57:13,778
- How's your bath?
- 761
- 00:57:13,811 --> 00:57:14,681
- Not in the mood.
- 762
- 00:57:18,817 --> 00:57:19,619
- You okay?
- 763
- 00:57:23,454 --> 00:57:25,757
- If I didn't have
- to look out for you,
- 764
- 00:57:25,791 --> 00:57:27,059
- and all the stupid
- things you do,
- 765
- 00:57:27,092 --> 00:57:29,061
- I don't think I could
- keep going with this.
- 766
- 00:57:30,829 --> 00:57:32,531
- What are you talking
- about, the lawsuit?
- 767
- 00:57:32,563 --> 00:57:34,766
- No, this.
- 768
- 00:57:36,168 --> 00:57:38,271
- This slow motion death sentence.
- 769
- 00:57:39,771 --> 00:57:41,474
- Why not get it over with?
- 770
- 00:57:41,507 --> 00:57:42,775
- Stop, you're scaring me.
- 771
- 00:57:42,807 --> 00:57:45,210
- You scare me when your
- head is in the clouds.
- 772
- 00:57:46,344 --> 00:57:48,213
- When you yell at
- police officers.
- 773
- 00:57:49,981 --> 00:57:52,018
- What's gonna happen
- to you when I'm gone?
- 774
- 00:57:54,052 --> 00:57:55,387
- Jo, get out of the tub.
- 775
- 00:57:58,222 --> 00:57:59,826
- We have to sell
- back the radio.
- 776
- 00:58:01,559 --> 00:58:02,661
- That doesn't matter.
- 777
- 00:58:13,070 --> 00:58:13,873
- I'm sorry.
- 778
- 00:58:15,039 --> 00:58:16,074
- It's okay.
- 779
- 00:58:57,516 --> 00:59:00,586
- Jo, will you be
- ready in five minutes?
- 780
- 00:59:00,619 --> 00:59:03,189
- I don't want to be late
- for our first day of court.
- 781
- 00:59:08,594 --> 00:59:09,595
- Ow!
- 782
- 00:59:27,545 --> 00:59:28,513
- A piece of my jaw fell out.
- 783
- 00:59:28,547 --> 00:59:29,514
- Jo!
- 784
- 00:59:29,547 --> 00:59:30,348
- No, no!
- 785
- 00:59:30,382 --> 00:59:31,916
- Josephine, come on.
- 786
- 00:59:31,949 --> 00:59:33,418
- Come on, come here.
- 787
- 00:59:33,452 --> 00:59:35,554
- We gotta get you changed
- before court, you have blood...
- 788
- 00:59:35,586 --> 00:59:37,422
- I'm gonna go get
- her some clothes.
- 789
- 00:59:37,456 --> 00:59:38,490
- She's not going!
- 790
- 00:59:40,192 --> 00:59:41,059
- What, why?
- 791
- 00:59:41,092 --> 00:59:42,627
- We're going to the hospital.
- 792
- 00:59:42,661 --> 00:59:44,963
- Are you coming?
- 793
- 00:59:44,996 --> 00:59:46,998
- But we have to be there.
- 794
- 00:59:47,032 --> 00:59:48,567
- We have to.
- 795
- 00:59:48,599 --> 00:59:50,302
- She's your only sister!
- 796
- 00:59:51,869 --> 00:59:53,572
- That's why we're doing this!
- 797
- 00:59:54,940 --> 00:59:57,976
- - It's your choice.
- - Just let Bessie go to court.
- 798
- 00:59:58,010 --> 01:00:00,413
- - Jo!
- - It's okay, I'll be fine.
- 799
- 01:00:01,445 --> 01:00:02,447
- Come on.
- 800
- 01:00:04,715 --> 01:00:06,518
- I'll come as soon as I can.
- 801
- 01:00:09,420 --> 01:00:10,222
- Jo...
- 802
- 01:00:24,802 --> 01:00:26,571
- The trial
- of the Radium Girls
- 803
- 01:00:26,605 --> 01:00:29,574
- versus American
- Radium begins today.
- 804
- 01:00:29,608 --> 01:00:31,644
- Although several dial
- painters on the east coast
- 805
- 01:00:31,677 --> 01:00:34,646
- have reportedly died
- suspicious deaths,
- 806
- 01:00:34,679 --> 01:00:37,549
- the cause of their illness
- is still widely disputed.
- 807
- 01:00:58,302 --> 01:01:00,772
- Dip, lick, paint.
- 808
- 01:01:02,507 --> 01:01:06,512
- Dip, lick, paint.
- 809
- 01:01:08,646 --> 01:01:10,949
- Dip, lick, paint.
- 810
- 01:01:12,784 --> 01:01:14,854
- Repeat, repeat, repeat.
- 811
- 01:01:16,621 --> 01:01:18,224
- One penny per face.
- 812
- 01:01:24,195 --> 01:01:25,563
- Now look at my face.
- 813
- 01:01:28,599 --> 01:01:30,335
- My knee aches something awful.
- 814
- 01:01:32,336 --> 01:01:35,574
- No one believed me until
- I was holding my son,
- 815
- 01:01:35,606 --> 01:01:36,675
- and it just gave out.
- 816
- 01:01:39,543 --> 01:01:41,246
- Next thing I know, I'm
- at the doctor's office
- 817
- 01:01:41,278 --> 01:01:42,614
- having a cast put on.
- 818
- 01:01:44,583 --> 01:01:46,050
- One time I asked if the paint
- 819
- 01:01:46,083 --> 01:01:48,153
- could be why I was breaking out.
- 820
- 01:01:50,655 --> 01:01:53,625
- And Mrs. Butkiss
- ate a whole mouthful
- 821
- 01:01:53,657 --> 01:01:56,594
- of Undark off the spatula
- to show us it was safe.
- 822
- 01:02:01,632 --> 01:02:03,568
- She said it would put
- a glow in my cheeks.
- 823
- 01:02:09,273 --> 01:02:10,476
- This is awful.
- 824
- 01:02:17,282 --> 01:02:21,586
- The autopsy results were
- confirmed by three laboratories.
- 825
- 01:02:21,619 --> 01:02:24,489
- The bones of the already
- deceased dial painters
- 826
- 01:02:24,523 --> 01:02:28,728
- are radioactive, and will be
- for another thousand years.
- 827
- 01:02:31,163 --> 01:02:34,934
- There's no doubt in my
- mind that chronic exposure
- 828
- 01:02:36,134 --> 01:02:38,503
- to radium caused the
- death of Mary Cavallo,
- 829
- 01:02:38,536 --> 01:02:41,806
- and is killing the
- women before you now.
- 830
- 01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:44,510
- On average, they have less
- than one year to live.
- 831
- 01:03:01,525 --> 01:03:04,864
- Radium poisoning has
- ravaged their bodies.
- 832
- 01:03:11,902 --> 01:03:14,906
- Radium will certainly
- deliver its victim to death
- 833
- 01:03:14,940 --> 01:03:16,442
- sooner or later.
- 834
- 01:03:16,474 --> 01:03:18,911
- But they're
- still saying it's harmless.
- 835
- 01:03:18,943 --> 01:03:21,547
- Well, Clara can barely walk
- 836
- 01:03:21,579 --> 01:03:24,083
- and Ruth's jaw is blown
- up like a balloon.
- 837
- 01:03:26,016 --> 01:03:26,885
- I'm scared.
- 838
- 01:03:27,885 --> 01:03:29,387
- What's gonna happen to us?
- 839
- 01:03:30,489 --> 01:03:32,257
- I dunno.
- 840
- 01:03:32,289 --> 01:03:33,992
- My husband thinks
- it's all made up.
- 841
- 01:03:41,233 --> 01:03:46,138
- I dunno about you, but
- I'm not going back in there.
- 842
- 01:03:46,170 --> 01:03:51,176
- I don't want to
- get in trouble.
- 843
- 01:04:09,728 --> 01:04:11,630
- - Oh my God!
- - Bessie!
- 844
- 01:04:16,568 --> 01:04:17,903
- What's happened?
- 845
- 01:04:17,936 --> 01:04:19,405
- How could anybody do this?
- 846
- 01:04:23,407 --> 01:04:25,510
- I don't know.
- 847
- 01:04:27,112 --> 01:04:28,814
- How can anyone
- hate us this much?
- 848
- 01:04:33,083 --> 01:04:35,486
- The Consumer's
- League, led by Katherine Wiley
- 849
- 01:04:35,519 --> 01:04:38,190
- has the ear of Walter
- Litman, editor of one
- 850
- 01:04:38,222 --> 01:04:40,858
- of the most powerful
- newspapers in New York.
- 851
- 01:04:40,891 --> 01:04:43,694
- The million dollar question
- becomes did the corporation
- 852
- 01:04:43,728 --> 01:04:46,565
- knowingly expose their
- workers to the toxins?
- 853
- 01:04:48,567 --> 01:04:51,469
- Social reformer and
- scientist Dr. Alice Hamilton
- 854
- 01:04:51,503 --> 01:04:54,039
- has publicly attacked the
- lucrative radium industry.
- 855
- 01:04:56,574 --> 01:04:58,109
- My dear Katherine,
- 856
- 01:04:58,143 --> 01:04:59,510
- as your Harvard colleague,
- 857
- 01:04:59,543 --> 01:05:01,547
- I must let you know that the
- New Jersey Department of Labor
- 858
- 01:05:01,579 --> 01:05:03,715
- has a copy of your report.
- 859
- 01:05:03,748 --> 01:05:07,085
- It shows that every girl
- is in perfect health.
- 860
- 01:05:07,117 --> 01:05:09,188
- How can Arthur Roeder
- do such a thing?
- 861
- 01:05:09,221 --> 01:05:11,056
- He forged a report in your name.
- 862
- 01:05:12,257 --> 01:05:14,592
- Some action must be taken.
- 863
- 01:05:14,626 --> 01:05:17,363
- Most sincerely, Alice Hamilton.
- 864
- 01:05:24,168 --> 01:05:26,904
- I have examined the
- women you see before you.
- 865
- 01:05:26,938 --> 01:05:29,374
- I have examined their coworkers.
- 866
- 01:05:29,407 --> 01:05:32,711
- They suffer from
- syphilis, nothing more.
- 867
- 01:05:35,079 --> 01:05:38,516
- Radium poisoning is an invention
- 868
- 01:05:38,550 --> 01:05:42,086
- of fame-hungry doctors
- itching for a discovery.
- 869
- 01:05:47,192 --> 01:05:49,795
- Do you have a license to
- practice medicine, Mr. Flint?
- 870
- 01:05:51,596 --> 01:05:55,601
- As a professor at Columbia
- University, and a physiologist
- 871
- 01:05:55,634 --> 01:05:57,802
- with the United States
- Public Health Service,
- 872
- 01:05:57,835 --> 01:05:58,971
- I hold a doctorate...
- 873
- 01:05:59,003 --> 01:06:01,339
- Are you a medical doctor, sir?
- 874
- 01:06:02,806 --> 01:06:04,709
- As I was saying,
- I hold a doctorate...
- 875
- 01:06:04,742 --> 01:06:07,913
- Are you a medical doctor,
- yes or no, Mr. Flint?
- 876
- 01:06:12,583 --> 01:06:13,384
- No.
- 877
- 01:06:15,452 --> 01:06:16,588
- And yet, you performed
- 878
- 01:06:16,621 --> 01:06:18,690
- medical examinations
- on the plaintiffs?
- 879
- 01:06:18,722 --> 01:06:19,525
- Yes.
- 880
- 01:06:22,626 --> 01:06:25,496
- Mr. Roeder, were you
- aware that Dr. Flint
- 881
- 01:06:25,530 --> 01:06:27,132
- was not a licensed physician?
- 882
- 01:06:28,867 --> 01:06:29,668
- I'm sorry?
- 883
- 01:06:31,068 --> 01:06:33,471
- Can you read the question
- back to Mr. Roeder?
- 884
- 01:06:33,505 --> 01:06:35,374
- "Were you aware that Dr. Flint
- 885
- 01:06:35,407 --> 01:06:37,476
- "was not a licensed physician?"
- 886
- 01:06:38,742 --> 01:06:40,846
- I assure you, Dr. Flint
- 887
- 01:06:40,878 --> 01:06:43,382
- is a scientist of
- the highest caliber.
- 888
- 01:06:43,414 --> 01:06:45,717
- Did you pay Dr. Flint
- to diagnose the plaintiffs
- 889
- 01:06:45,750 --> 01:06:49,086
- with syphilis in order to
- smear their reputations?
- 890
- 01:06:49,119 --> 01:06:49,922
- No.
- 891
- 01:06:51,523 --> 01:06:53,392
- When did you
- first become aware
- 892
- 01:06:53,425 --> 01:06:55,193
- of the consequences of radium?
- 893
- 01:06:57,528 --> 01:07:00,498
- These deaths are tragic.
- 894
- 01:07:00,532 --> 01:07:03,869
- But let's be clear, Mr. Berry,
- 895
- 01:07:03,902 --> 01:07:06,104
- there are many
- competing theories...
- 896
- 01:07:06,137 --> 01:07:08,907
- Mr. Roeder, did you commission
- a study of the radium paint
- 897
- 01:07:08,940 --> 01:07:11,576
- two years before the
- death of Mary Cavallo?
- 898
- 01:07:11,608 --> 01:07:13,311
- I did.
- 899
- 01:07:13,344 --> 01:07:15,613
- The Drinker Report
- showed nothing amiss.
- 900
- 01:07:16,914 --> 01:07:18,550
- People are so quick
- to jump on things
- 901
- 01:07:18,583 --> 01:07:20,952
- that they just don't understand.
- 902
- 01:07:20,985 --> 01:07:24,088
- But the fact is,
- this radium energy
- 903
- 01:07:24,121 --> 01:07:26,991
- is one of the most
- vital therapeutic agents
- 904
- 01:07:27,025 --> 01:07:28,293
- we have at our command.
- 905
- 01:07:28,326 --> 01:07:30,762
- Even if there were
- harmful effects,
- 906
- 01:07:30,795 --> 01:07:34,266
- American Radium cannot be
- blamed for scientific progress.
- 907
- 01:07:39,737 --> 01:07:42,907
- Arthur Roeder, president
- of American Radium,
- 908
- 01:07:42,940 --> 01:07:47,878
- maintains that the women
- suffer from Menierial disease.
- 909
- 01:07:47,911 --> 01:07:48,946
- I don't believe it.
- 910
- 01:07:50,215 --> 01:07:51,216
- How dare he?
- 911
- 01:08:27,318 --> 01:08:28,454
- You're trespassing.
- 912
- 01:08:32,590 --> 01:08:33,958
- I'm here to see Leech.
- 913
- 01:08:36,161 --> 01:08:37,529
- He's been out for weeks.
- 914
- 01:08:45,002 --> 01:08:45,804
- Where is he?
- 915
- 01:08:49,106 --> 01:08:51,309
- Mrs. Butkiss, please!
- 916
- 01:08:51,341 --> 01:08:52,777
- I need to find him.
- 917
- 01:08:54,612 --> 01:08:57,449
- Please, I will never ask
- you for anything again.
- 918
- 01:08:57,481 --> 01:09:02,121
- Oh, you were
- always one for melodrama.
- 919
- 01:09:13,497 --> 01:09:15,099
- He's at St. Francis.
- 920
- 01:09:19,570 --> 01:09:21,573
- We'll all be in the end.
- 921
- 01:09:26,845 --> 01:09:27,846
- Thank you.
- 922
- 01:10:15,627 --> 01:10:17,529
- It's nice of you to visit.
- 923
- 01:10:17,561 --> 01:10:18,896
- None of the other girls have.
- 924
- 01:10:22,567 --> 01:10:23,502
- Will you help us?
- 925
- 01:10:27,337 --> 01:10:29,507
- If a dying man
- could be of help.
- 926
- 01:10:32,609 --> 01:10:34,645
- I found something
- that Mary wrote.
- 927
- 01:10:36,980 --> 01:10:40,451
- It said you warned her.
- 928
- 01:10:43,654 --> 01:10:45,256
- Yes, I remember.
- 929
- 01:10:48,158 --> 01:10:49,927
- You knew it was dangerous?
- 930
- 01:10:52,564 --> 01:10:53,398
- Yes.
- 931
- 01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:59,271
- - Did Arthur Roeder?
- - Yes.
- 932
- 01:11:02,340 --> 01:11:07,311
- Years ago, we hired a
- team of Harvard scientists.
- 933
- 01:11:08,179 --> 01:11:11,516
- A married couple, the Drinkers.
- 934
- 01:11:12,884 --> 01:11:14,786
- They were the ones
- who first told us.
- 935
- 01:11:16,421 --> 01:11:17,389
- Years ago.
- 936
- 01:11:18,789 --> 01:11:19,690
- Years.
- 937
- 01:11:23,394 --> 01:11:24,829
- Why didn't you tell us?
- 938
- 01:11:26,631 --> 01:11:29,668
- I don't know, I was scared.
- 939
- 01:11:29,701 --> 01:11:31,036
- I didn't know what to do.
- 940
- 01:11:32,636 --> 01:11:37,608
- The business got bigger
- than I ever imagined.
- 941
- 01:11:40,545 --> 01:11:42,447
- I invented Undark.
- 942
- 01:11:44,716 --> 01:11:47,619
- That snake took it
- all away from me.
- 943
- 01:11:49,820 --> 01:11:50,622
- Arthur Roeder?
- 944
- 01:11:51,989 --> 01:11:53,759
- Never trust a money man.
- 945
- 01:11:55,627 --> 01:11:56,862
- Never have a partner.
- 946
- 01:12:00,497 --> 01:12:03,768
- Help me take
- American Radium down.
- 947
- 01:12:05,536 --> 01:12:07,072
- No.
- 948
- 01:12:07,104 --> 01:12:08,939
- You must be careful.
- 949
- 01:12:08,972 --> 01:12:10,475
- Please, Walter!
- 950
- 01:12:14,278 --> 01:12:15,012
- Please.
- 951
- 01:12:18,783 --> 01:12:20,385
- We exhumed Mary.
- 952
- 01:12:22,286 --> 01:12:26,591
- She died from radium
- poisoning, just like you are.
- 953
- 01:12:31,328 --> 01:12:32,229
- You'll never win.
- 954
- 01:12:33,430 --> 01:12:36,100
- I'm doing it, no matter what.
- 955
- 01:12:40,037 --> 01:12:41,973
- If you loved her, please!
- 956
- 01:12:50,948 --> 01:12:52,050
- Okay, okay.
- 957
- 01:12:56,020 --> 01:12:57,556
- I'll do it, Bessie.
- 958
- 01:12:58,588 --> 01:12:59,390
- Okay.
- 959
- 01:13:06,530 --> 01:13:08,500
- Leech says that
- he'll tell the truth,
- 960
- 01:13:08,533 --> 01:13:11,903
- that American Radium forced
- those scientists to keep quiet.
- 961
- 01:13:11,935 --> 01:13:13,070
- They knew that it was toxic,
- 962
- 01:13:13,104 --> 01:13:14,939
- and they told us it was safe.
- 963
- 01:13:14,971 --> 01:13:18,342
- - Bessie, this is huge!
- - They knew.
- 964
- 01:13:30,621 --> 01:13:32,489
- You swear to tell
- the truth, the whole truth
- 965
- 01:13:32,523 --> 01:13:35,326
- and nothing but the
- truth, so help you God?
- 966
- 01:13:35,359 --> 01:13:36,161
- I do.
- 967
- 01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:51,442
- Your name?
- 968
- 01:13:53,211 --> 01:13:54,945
- Bessie Patricia Cavallo.
- 969
- 01:13:54,979 --> 01:13:57,516
- And when did you begin
- working at American Radium?
- 970
- 01:13:58,850 --> 01:14:00,485
- Three years ago,
- 971
- 01:14:00,518 --> 01:14:04,922
- after my sister
- Mary passed away.
- 972
- 01:14:06,056 --> 01:14:07,925
- My other sister, Josephine,
- 973
- 01:14:07,958 --> 01:14:10,894
- had already worked
- there for two years.
- 974
- 01:14:10,927 --> 01:14:12,596
- And where is Josephine today?
- 975
- 01:14:13,965 --> 01:14:18,636
- She is recovering from
- bone removal surgery
- 976
- 01:14:18,668 --> 01:14:20,704
- due to radium necrosis.
- 977
- 01:14:22,707 --> 01:14:23,575
- Objection!
- 978
- 01:14:23,608 --> 01:14:25,110
- Your Honor, radium necrosis
- 979
- 01:14:25,143 --> 01:14:27,779
- is the hospital's official
- diagnosis of Josephine Cavallo.
- 980
- 01:14:29,780 --> 01:14:31,515
- - I'll allow it.
- - But your Honor...
- 981
- 01:14:31,548 --> 01:14:32,317
- Overruled!
- 982
- 01:14:37,721 --> 01:14:39,724
- During your time
- at American Radium,
- 983
- 01:14:39,756 --> 01:14:41,458
- were you ever made aware
- 984
- 01:14:41,492 --> 01:14:44,596
- of the dangerous
- nature of radium paint?
- 985
- 01:14:44,628 --> 01:14:45,697
- No.
- 986
- 01:14:45,729 --> 01:14:47,531
- When did
- you learn the truth?
- 987
- 01:14:48,431 --> 01:14:49,734
- When we autopsied Mary.
- 988
- 01:14:51,435 --> 01:14:53,905
- But the former president
- of American Radium
- 989
- 01:14:53,938 --> 01:14:58,376
- and the inventor of
- the paint, Mr. Leech,
- 990
- 01:14:59,609 --> 01:15:01,979
- warned Mary a long time ago.
- 991
- 01:15:03,247 --> 01:15:04,983
- I read about it in her diary.
- 992
- 01:15:05,015 --> 01:15:06,984
- Your Honor, we
- submit the diary
- 993
- 01:15:07,018 --> 01:15:09,319
- of Mary Cavallo as evidence.
- 994
- 01:15:09,353 --> 01:15:10,355
- Objection.
- 995
- 01:15:11,255 --> 01:15:12,489
- A teenage girl's diary
- 996
- 01:15:12,523 --> 01:15:14,426
- is hardly reliable
- evidence, your Honor.
- 997
- 01:15:17,194 --> 01:15:17,996
- I'll allow it.
- 998
- 01:15:24,268 --> 01:15:26,538
- What did you do when
- you read this, Bessie?
- 999
- 01:15:27,505 --> 01:15:29,507
- I asked Mr. Leech
- if it was true.
- 1000
- 01:15:32,542 --> 01:15:33,710
- He said yes.
- 1001
- 01:15:36,346 --> 01:15:38,382
- He warned Mary.
- 1002
- 01:15:38,416 --> 01:15:41,219
- American Radium knew
- that it was dangerous
- 1003
- 01:15:42,819 --> 01:15:44,988
- years before she died.
- 1004
- 01:15:50,161 --> 01:15:51,429
- I have nothing further.
- 1005
- 01:16:01,538 --> 01:16:06,110
- Can you prove these outrageous
- allegations, Miss Cavallo?
- 1006
- 01:16:10,847 --> 01:16:12,016
- No, I can't.
- 1007
- 01:16:15,185 --> 01:16:16,954
- But Mr. Leech can.
- 1008
- 01:16:25,462 --> 01:16:27,865
- Cavallo, how did you get
- Arthur Leech to testify?
- 1009
- 01:16:27,899 --> 01:16:29,267
- Miss Cavallo,
- what about your fellow workers
- 1010
- 01:16:29,300 --> 01:16:30,268
- who will lose their jobs?
- 1011
- 01:16:30,301 --> 01:16:31,302
- Do you really think
- 1012
- 01:16:31,335 --> 01:16:32,871
- you can beat American Radium?
- 1013
- 01:16:32,904 --> 01:16:34,706
- Radium Girls, 50 dollars
- 1014
- 01:16:34,738 --> 01:16:37,541
- for exclusive access
- to your story.
- 1015
- 01:16:37,574 --> 01:16:40,278
- You'll be the face of the
- New Jersey Evening Star.
- 1016
- 01:16:40,310 --> 01:16:43,514
- Hey, my sister needs
- this factory job!
- 1017
- 01:16:43,546 --> 01:16:44,515
- Don't shut it down.
- 1018
- 01:16:46,617 --> 01:16:48,052
- I'm doing a piece.
- 1019
- 01:16:48,085 --> 01:16:50,322
- Tell me, how do you
- prepare for death?
- 1020
- 01:16:53,189 --> 01:16:55,092
- I don't think about it much.
- 1021
- 01:16:55,126 --> 01:16:58,096
- I haven't had the time.
- 1022
- 01:16:58,128 --> 01:17:02,132
- If it were up to me, I
- would charge them with murder.
- 1023
- 01:17:06,569 --> 01:17:07,871
- Miss
- Cavallo, how do you feel
- 1024
- 01:17:07,904 --> 01:17:10,908
- about American Radium
- covering up the truth?
- 1025
- 01:17:10,942 --> 01:17:12,109
- Miss
- Cavallo, how does it feel
- 1026
- 01:17:12,143 --> 01:17:13,578
- to be leading the way?
- 1027
- 01:17:21,851 --> 01:17:23,755
- Listen, listen.
- 1028
- 01:17:23,787 --> 01:17:27,357
- "Public outcry on behalf
- of the Radium Girls.
- 1029
- 01:17:27,390 --> 01:17:29,626
- "Marie Curie, the scientist
- who discovered radium,
- 1030
- 01:17:29,659 --> 01:17:32,229
- "has commented on
- their tragic fate.
- 1031
- 01:17:32,262 --> 01:17:35,233
- "Curie says there is no
- way to remove the substance
- 1032
- 01:17:35,265 --> 01:17:37,969
- "from a human body
- once it has entered."
- 1033
- 01:17:39,403 --> 01:17:43,942
- What on earth
- are we supposed to do?
- 1034
- 01:17:43,975 --> 01:17:46,678
- "Dear Radium Girls,
- I am your same age
- 1035
- 01:17:46,711 --> 01:17:50,181
- "at school in Paris, and I
- read about you in the papers.
- 1036
- 01:17:51,349 --> 01:17:54,452
- "Here's holy water that
- I got from the Lord.
- 1037
- 01:17:54,484 --> 01:17:56,887
- "You are in my prayers,
- sincerely, Martin."
- 1038
- 01:17:59,689 --> 01:18:00,791
- Here, close your eyes.
- 1039
- 01:18:06,197 --> 01:18:07,399
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- 1040
- 01:18:10,368 --> 01:18:11,770
- Here, I'll get it.
- 1041
- 01:18:15,573 --> 01:18:18,510
- I bet you could score
- a fancy audition now.
- 1042
- 01:18:20,511 --> 01:18:21,613
- I wouldn't take it.
- 1043
- 01:18:24,047 --> 01:18:25,983
- I'll give you a
- million dollars, kid.
- 1044
- 01:18:28,351 --> 01:18:29,186
- What do you say?
- 1045
- 01:18:31,454 --> 01:18:33,925
- Why, thank you sir, but...
- 1046
- 01:18:34,925 --> 01:18:36,594
- I wouldn't do it for a billion.
- 1047
- 01:18:38,595 --> 01:18:39,964
- What about a trillion?
- 1048
- 01:18:41,532 --> 01:18:43,234
- No, not even that.
- 1049
- 01:18:43,266 --> 01:18:44,568
- Is that crazy?
- 1050
- 01:18:46,537 --> 01:18:48,306
- Well, maybe a trillion.
- 1051
- 01:18:56,579 --> 01:18:57,381
- We're gonna win.
- 1052
- 01:19:25,643 --> 01:19:26,644
- Hello?
- 1053
- 01:19:27,610 --> 01:19:28,679
- This is Anne Butkiss
- 1054
- 01:19:28,712 --> 01:19:30,715
- from the American
- Radium factory.
- 1055
- 01:19:30,747 --> 01:19:33,585
- There's something I need
- to talk to you about.
- 1056
- 01:19:57,307 --> 01:19:59,844
- Walter Leech, do
- you swear to tell the truth,
- 1057
- 01:19:59,877 --> 01:20:02,881
- the whole truth, and nothing
- but the truth, so help you God?
- 1058
- 01:20:04,614 --> 01:20:05,617
- I do.
- 1059
- 01:20:16,393 --> 01:20:17,561
- How long
- have you been aware
- 1060
- 01:20:17,595 --> 01:20:19,097
- of the dangers of radium?
- 1061
- 01:20:22,132 --> 01:20:26,603
- I always believed it to
- be a great medical good.
- 1062
- 01:20:26,636 --> 01:20:30,541
- That's why I invested in
- radium mines 20 years ago.
- 1063
- 01:20:32,309 --> 01:20:34,811
- And how were you
- acquainted with Mary Cavallo
- 1064
- 01:20:34,845 --> 01:20:36,713
- in the years leading
- up to her death?
- 1065
- 01:20:42,319 --> 01:20:44,389
- She was, um...
- 1066
- 01:20:46,590 --> 01:20:49,494
- She was one dial
- painter among hundreds.
- 1067
- 01:20:52,462 --> 01:20:56,032
- The rumor was she had syphilis.
- 1068
- 01:20:56,065 --> 01:20:58,135
- Apparently she had
- quite the reputation.
- 1069
- 01:21:02,472 --> 01:21:03,573
- Did you ever warn her
- 1070
- 01:21:03,606 --> 01:21:05,542
- against ingesting
- the radium paint?
- 1071
- 01:21:07,744 --> 01:21:12,550
- Well, at one time I
- did warn a girl or two
- 1072
- 01:21:12,582 --> 01:21:15,119
- against licking the brushes.
- 1073
- 01:21:18,021 --> 01:21:21,658
- You see, the human mouth
- is teeming with bacteria.
- 1074
- 01:21:21,692 --> 01:21:26,698
- Licking unclean brushes
- is unsanitary behavior.
- 1075
- 01:21:27,997 --> 01:21:30,934
- - Unsanitary?
- - That's right, Mr. Berry.
- 1076
- 01:21:31,835 --> 01:21:33,404
- Unsanitary.
- 1077
- 01:21:35,573 --> 01:21:36,908
- I have nothing else.
- 1078
- 01:21:38,141 --> 01:21:39,711
- Order, order please!
- 1079
- 01:21:44,648 --> 01:21:46,684
- You are suffering
- from the same
- 1080
- 01:21:46,716 --> 01:21:50,453
- supposed radium poisoning
- yourself, are you not?
- 1081
- 01:21:50,487 --> 01:21:51,288
- I am.
- 1082
- 01:21:52,523 --> 01:21:54,725
- If you had been
- aware of the danger,
- 1083
- 01:21:54,757 --> 01:21:56,961
- wouldn't you have been
- able to save yourself?
- 1084
- 01:21:58,595 --> 01:21:59,930
- That's correct.
- 1085
- 01:22:07,704 --> 01:22:09,273
- Order
- in the courtroom!
- 1086
- 01:22:16,579 --> 01:22:19,484
- Mr. Berry, I'm
- Katherine Drinker.
- 1087
- 01:22:33,796 --> 01:22:36,033
- Bessie, I think you're brave.
- 1088
- 01:22:58,956 --> 01:23:03,761
- Will you be calling
- another witness, Mr. Berry?
- 1089
- 01:23:03,793 --> 01:23:06,497
- We call Dr. Katherine
- Drinker of Harvard University.
- 1090
- 01:23:20,577 --> 01:23:23,581
- Will you state your name and
- occupation for the record?
- 1091
- 01:23:23,613 --> 01:23:25,482
- Dr. Katherine Drinker.
- 1092
- 01:23:25,515 --> 01:23:28,518
- I'm a professor at the Harvard
- School of Industrial Hygiene.
- 1093
- 01:23:28,551 --> 01:23:30,720
- Dr. Drinker, can
- you tell the court
- 1094
- 01:23:30,753 --> 01:23:34,824
- when you first became
- acquainted with American Radium?
- 1095
- 01:23:34,858 --> 01:23:38,229
- Four years ago, American
- Radium hired my team
- 1096
- 01:23:38,261 --> 01:23:41,965
- to investigate whether their
- radium paint could be harmful.
- 1097
- 01:23:41,998 --> 01:23:43,268
- What were your results?
- 1098
- 01:23:45,469 --> 01:23:48,038
- The workers were all luminous.
- 1099
- 01:23:48,072 --> 01:23:53,077
- Their hair, faces, hands,
- arms, necks, dresses,
- 1100
- 01:23:54,243 --> 01:23:56,648
- underclothes, even
- their corsets glowed.
- 1101
- 01:23:59,382 --> 01:24:01,618
- Of the 22 employees we examined,
- 1102
- 01:24:02,552 --> 01:24:04,588
- none had normal blood levels.
- 1103
- 01:24:05,823 --> 01:24:07,858
- We found the trouble
- due to radium,
- 1104
- 01:24:07,890 --> 01:24:10,493
- and recommended
- precautions to take.
- 1105
- 01:24:10,527 --> 01:24:13,497
- And what did American Radium
- do with this information?
- 1106
- 01:24:14,530 --> 01:24:16,600
- They found our
- results tentative
- 1107
- 01:24:16,632 --> 01:24:18,368
- and maintained there
- was nothing harmful
- 1108
- 01:24:18,402 --> 01:24:19,503
- anywhere in the works.
- 1109
- 01:24:20,404 --> 01:24:21,572
- Do you stand
- by your findings?
- 1110
- 01:24:21,604 --> 01:24:23,139
- Of course.
- 1111
- 01:24:23,172 --> 01:24:24,541
- Then why didn't
- you publish the study?
- 1112
- 01:24:24,574 --> 01:24:25,409
- We wanted to.
- 1113
- 01:24:26,643 --> 01:24:30,814
- American Radium found the
- study too sensitive to release.
- 1114
- 01:24:30,847 --> 01:24:31,815
- They would sue us
- 1115
- 01:24:33,384 --> 01:24:36,619
- and cut off their support
- to our university if we did.
- 1116
- 01:24:40,623 --> 01:24:44,028
- However, listening to
- testimony this past week...
- 1117
- 01:24:51,033 --> 01:24:52,569
- I could not stand by once again.
- 1118
- 01:24:53,804 --> 01:24:55,605
- Thank you, I have
- nothing further.
- 1119
- 01:25:07,283 --> 01:25:11,087
- Um, permission to
- approach the bench?
- 1120
- 01:25:11,121 --> 01:25:11,922
- I'll allow it.
- 1121
- 01:25:14,591 --> 01:25:19,597
- Your Honor...
- 1122
- 01:25:25,735 --> 01:25:26,871
- Your Honor,
- that's not fair.
- 1123
- 01:25:26,904 --> 01:25:28,506
- Mind your tone, counselor.
- 1124
- 01:25:39,115 --> 01:25:43,319
- American Radium has requested
- a recess for 18 weeks.
- 1125
- 01:25:43,353 --> 01:25:46,591
- A key witness to the
- defense is abroad.
- 1126
- 01:25:47,858 --> 01:25:49,726
- The bank is coming
- after our house.
- 1127
- 01:25:49,760 --> 01:25:52,563
- Henry, how is this legal?
- 1128
- 01:25:52,595 --> 01:25:54,964
- The recess is granted
- and we'll reconvene then.
- 1129
- 01:25:54,997 --> 01:25:56,000
- Court is dismissed.
- 1130
- 01:25:58,668 --> 01:26:00,703
- - We're running out of time.
- - We'll fight it.
- 1131
- 01:26:00,737 --> 01:26:01,971
- How?
- 1132
- 01:26:02,005 --> 01:26:03,007
- In the court of
- public opinion.
- 1133
- 01:26:11,347 --> 01:26:12,248
- The
- nation has rallied
- 1134
- 01:26:12,282 --> 01:26:13,884
- in support of the Radium Girls
- 1135
- 01:26:13,917 --> 01:26:16,720
- in the wake of the
- postponement of their case.
- 1136
- 01:26:16,752 --> 01:26:19,189
- Arthur Roeder has resigned
- amidst controversy
- 1137
- 01:26:19,222 --> 01:26:22,393
- as other dial painters from
- Illinois to Connecticut
- 1138
- 01:26:22,426 --> 01:26:24,462
- are now coming forward.
- 1139
- 01:26:24,494 --> 01:26:26,529
- Dear sisters,
- the New Jersey League
- 1140
- 01:26:26,563 --> 01:26:29,099
- of Women Voters is working
- to set a legal precedent
- 1141
- 01:26:29,131 --> 01:26:31,735
- for radium toxicity,
- because of you.
- 1142
- 01:26:32,970 --> 01:26:34,538
- Did you
- know everyone in Ottowa
- 1143
- 01:26:34,570 --> 01:26:36,140
- is talking about your case?
- 1144
- 01:26:36,172 --> 01:26:37,974
- My
- dearest Miss Cavallos...
- 1145
- 01:26:38,007 --> 01:26:39,844
- We are
- dial painters like you.
- 1146
- 01:26:39,877 --> 01:26:42,446
- I was
- only 15 at the time.
- 1147
- 01:26:42,479 --> 01:26:44,148
- Dial painting paid very well.
- 1148
- 01:26:44,180 --> 01:26:46,917
- I myself
- have had 19 operations.
- 1149
- 01:26:48,118 --> 01:26:49,453
- I was
- put in a steel cast
- 1150
- 01:26:49,485 --> 01:26:51,389
- from my chest to my knees.
- 1151
- 01:26:53,323 --> 01:26:55,960
- My doctor said the radium
- honeycombed my jaw bone.
- 1152
- 01:26:55,993 --> 01:26:57,161
- One of my legs
- 1153
- 01:26:57,194 --> 01:26:58,462
- is now shorter than the other.
- 1154
- 01:26:58,494 --> 01:27:00,965
- We had big dreams.
- 1155
- 01:27:00,997 --> 01:27:03,933
- Thank you
- for standing up for us.
- 1156
- 01:27:03,966 --> 01:27:06,203
- Yours in
- fighting spirit, Amelia.
- 1157
- 01:27:45,576 --> 01:27:46,577
- Mary, is that you?
- 1158
- 01:27:49,712 --> 01:27:50,514
- No.
- 1159
- 01:27:53,516 --> 01:27:55,685
- Leave, spirit!
- 1160
- 01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:11,002
- Why did you do it?
- 1161
- 01:28:13,235 --> 01:28:14,404
- My sister...
- 1162
- 01:28:16,340 --> 01:28:17,975
- She was dying of cancer.
- 1163
- 01:28:18,007 --> 01:28:22,112
- Radium was the miracle cure.
- 1164
- 01:28:24,648 --> 01:28:26,417
- What?
- 1165
- 01:28:26,449 --> 01:28:27,518
- But I was too late.
- 1166
- 01:28:30,854 --> 01:28:32,123
- I'm always too late.
- 1167
- 01:28:34,690 --> 01:28:39,697
- But American Radium will
- take care of her children
- 1168
- 01:28:41,264 --> 01:28:44,702
- for the rest of their lives,
- and their children's lives.
- 1169
- 01:28:47,703 --> 01:28:48,905
- She loved you!
- 1170
- 01:28:51,774 --> 01:28:52,876
- Forgive me, Mary.
- 1171
- 01:28:57,314 --> 01:29:00,952
- Maat, will you break
- the power of Satan
- 1172
- 01:29:02,118 --> 01:29:05,155
- from his assignments
- in Walter Leech's life?
- 1173
- 01:29:09,626 --> 01:29:12,363
- The goddess of
- truth is watching.
- 1174
- 01:29:22,405 --> 01:29:24,742
- Our bones will glow
- forever, you know.
- 1175
- 01:29:27,144 --> 01:29:28,346
- Yes, I know.
- 1176
- 01:29:36,886 --> 01:29:38,355
- Goodbye, sisters.
- 1177
- 01:30:02,679 --> 01:30:04,515
- - Delivery.
- - Hey Walt.
- 1178
- 01:30:04,547 --> 01:30:07,451
- The postmark says California.
- 1179
- 01:30:07,484 --> 01:30:09,319
- California!
- 1180
- 01:30:09,351 --> 01:30:11,555
- I got your
- message, what's up?
- 1181
- 01:30:15,492 --> 01:30:18,896
- Um, Wiley called a
- meeting for tomorrow.
- 1182
- 01:30:20,630 --> 01:30:22,298
- Maybe she got a court date set.
- 1183
- 01:30:23,533 --> 01:30:25,736
- The papers say that it
- could be any day now, so...
- 1184
- 01:30:30,172 --> 01:30:34,110
- Finally, this is what
- we've been waiting for.
- 1185
- 01:30:42,985 --> 01:30:44,520
- What's going on?
- 1186
- 01:30:44,554 --> 01:30:47,257
- Girls, this is
- federal judge Clark.
- 1187
- 01:30:47,289 --> 01:30:49,426
- Was a court date set?
- 1188
- 01:30:49,458 --> 01:30:51,894
- I have been following
- your painful story,
- 1189
- 01:30:51,927 --> 01:30:55,565
- so I took it upon myself
- to negotiate a deal
- 1190
- 01:30:55,599 --> 01:30:58,168
- with American Radium
- on your behalf.
- 1191
- 01:30:58,201 --> 01:31:00,871
- 10 thousand, each.
- 1192
- 01:31:00,904 --> 01:31:01,672
- Dollars?
- 1193
- 01:31:02,706 --> 01:31:03,974
- Yes.
- 1194
- 01:31:04,006 --> 01:31:06,210
- And they'll pay for all
- your medical expenses.
- 1195
- 01:31:07,978 --> 01:31:10,514
- And are they admitting
- that radium is toxic?
- 1196
- 01:31:10,546 --> 01:31:12,148
- Oh, they'll shut
- down the factory.
- 1197
- 01:31:12,181 --> 01:31:14,384
- Don't worry, it's all in there.
- 1198
- 01:31:14,417 --> 01:31:16,153
- Okay, um...
- 1199
- 01:31:16,185 --> 01:31:18,521
- I'm sorry, but what about
- getting radium banned?
- 1200
- 01:31:18,555 --> 01:31:20,490
- - That was...
- - $10,000, Bessie!
- 1201
- 01:31:20,524 --> 01:31:22,760
- Thank God!
- 1202
- 01:31:25,127 --> 01:31:27,297
- This is about more
- than just one factory.
- 1203
- 01:31:29,733 --> 01:31:31,435
- There are future lives at stake.
- 1204
- 01:31:32,569 --> 01:31:33,670
- Our lives are at stake.
- 1205
- 01:31:33,703 --> 01:31:35,973
- American Radium has
- a team of attorneys,
- 1206
- 01:31:36,006 --> 01:31:37,307
- the best in the state,
- 1207
- 01:31:37,340 --> 01:31:39,409
- with unlimited resources
- at their disposal.
- 1208
- 01:31:39,442 --> 01:31:41,712
- They could
- drag this out for years.
- 1209
- 01:31:42,645 --> 01:31:44,514
- We don't have years.
- 1210
- 01:31:44,547 --> 01:31:47,216
- All they have to do
- is run out the clock.
- 1211
- 01:31:47,250 --> 01:31:48,652
- It will be brutal.
- 1212
- 01:31:58,127 --> 01:32:00,864
- My father has mortgaged
- our house to the gills.
- 1213
- 01:32:03,600 --> 01:32:05,736
- I don't want my boys
- growing up on the street.
- 1214
- 01:32:29,492 --> 01:32:31,295
- I just wanted it
- to mean something.
- 1215
- 01:32:32,529 --> 01:32:33,364
- It does.
- 1216
- 01:32:35,998 --> 01:32:37,934
- He says they'll shut
- down the factory.
- 1217
- 01:32:39,603 --> 01:32:40,837
- That's good, Bessie.
- 1218
- 01:32:47,877 --> 01:32:50,113
- So this is how it ends?
- 1219
- 01:32:51,146 --> 01:32:52,483
- Can I tell you a secret
- 1220
- 01:32:53,884 --> 01:32:55,719
- I learned a long time ago?
- 1221
- 01:32:57,686 --> 01:32:58,889
- It never ends.
- 1222
- 01:34:35,585 --> 01:34:40,591
- Do you mind if I sit?
- 1223
- 01:34:45,494 --> 01:34:46,764
- You wanna help?
- 1224
- 01:34:49,599 --> 01:34:51,001
- I'm too tired.
- 1225
- 01:34:54,503 --> 01:34:56,672
- You're too young to
- be tired, my child.
- 1226
- 01:34:56,706 --> 01:34:58,708
- Come on...
- 1227
- 01:34:58,742 --> 01:35:01,144
- The fishes, he's no
- tired, he run away.
- 1228
- 01:35:01,176 --> 01:35:03,880
- You see, no like my worm.
- 1229
- 01:35:10,520 --> 01:35:11,522
- Bessie.
- 1230
- 01:35:13,590 --> 01:35:18,595
- Sometime these eyes too
- old to see something, no?
- 1231
- 01:35:22,297 --> 01:35:23,099
- I'm sorry.
- 1232
- 01:35:31,207 --> 01:35:32,409
- Forgive nonno?
- 1233
- 01:35:36,546 --> 01:35:37,347
- Yeah.
- 1234
- 01:35:38,180 --> 01:35:38,982
- Of course.
- 1235
- 01:35:45,555 --> 01:35:46,557
- I believe you.
- 1236
- 01:35:48,591 --> 01:35:49,693
- I believe everything now.
- 1237
- 01:35:59,935 --> 01:36:01,404
- - I
- - wish you could see yourself
- 1238
- 01:36:01,438 --> 01:36:02,706
- the way I see you.
- 1239
- 01:36:04,740 --> 01:36:08,145
- As a warrior, a goddess,
- 1240
- 01:36:11,046 --> 01:36:12,448
- full of power and light.
- 1241
- 01:36:15,284 --> 01:36:17,854
- A ticker tape
- parade in your eyes.
- 1242
- 01:36:21,524 --> 01:36:23,960
- Did you know some people
- call The Book Of The Dead
- 1243
- 01:36:23,993 --> 01:36:26,263
- The Book Of Coming
- Forth Into Light?
- 1244
- 01:36:26,296 --> 01:36:27,463
- That's beautiful.
- 1245
- 01:36:27,497 --> 01:36:28,664
- Oh look, I love this part.
- 1246
- 01:36:33,735 --> 01:36:37,073
- Mayest thou be at peace with me.
- 1247
- 01:36:37,106 --> 01:36:39,076
- May I advance upon the earth.
- 1248
- 01:36:41,110 --> 01:36:42,945
- May I crush the evil one.
- 1249
- 01:36:45,481 --> 01:36:48,551
- May my arms become spears
- to thwart crocodiles.
- 1250
- 01:36:52,988 --> 01:36:55,826
- May I live in the
- season of revolution.
- 1251
- 01:37:00,762 --> 01:37:03,733
- May the light of my soul
- detect shadows of evil.
- 1252
- 01:37:05,734 --> 01:37:07,603
- The doors of perception open.
- 1253
- 01:37:09,572 --> 01:37:11,141
- Hey!
- 1254
- 01:37:11,173 --> 01:37:13,277
- What
- was hidden has been revealed.
- 1255
- 01:37:20,716 --> 01:37:21,918
- I am restless.
- 1256
- 01:37:23,685 --> 01:37:25,154
- I smell a change coming.
- 1257
- 01:37:26,189 --> 01:37:28,358
- The shape of truth is coming.
- 1258
- 01:37:33,595 --> 01:37:36,599
- Let me fly to the
- far edge of sky.
- 1259
- 01:37:52,481 --> 01:37:55,685
- Let me rest in the
- folds of the earth.
- 1260
- 01:37:58,188 --> 01:38:00,289
- I am a child of eternity.
- 1261
