CYRIL: After the
dust-up yesterday,

6
00:00:13,931 --> 00:00:15,515
I thought it would be
best if we kept
our patients

7
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:16,683
away from each other.

8
00:00:16,767 --> 00:00:17,934
My God.

00:00:18,143 --> 00:00:19,602
GENE: So, uh, you guys
are friends from, uh?

10
00:00:19,687 --> 00:00:21,229
Acquaintances, really.
Oh, we go way back.

11
00:00:21,313 --> 00:00:23,523
I really think
Al would love Helen.

12
00:00:23,607 --> 00:00:25,483
Unless, of course,
you have
a special someone?

13
00:00:25,567 --> 00:00:27,193
No, I was
recently jilted.

14
00:00:28,112 --> 00:00:29,946
LILLIAN: I'm never going back
to that hospital.

15
00:00:30,114 --> 00:00:32,115
It would be irresponsible
to stay on.

16
00:00:32,408 --> 00:00:34,617
I am scared, though,
for what's ahead.

17
00:00:34,952 --> 00:00:36,786
He is a rough customer,
Robert.

18
00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:38,121
And he does
have a temper.

19
00:00:38,205 --> 00:00:39,539
But when it's late...

20
00:00:39,623 --> 00:00:41,582
And it's just
the two of us...

21
00:00:41,667 --> 00:00:44,252
Alone in our bed,
well...

22
00:00:45,462 --> 00:00:48,214
I'm sure you can understand
how hard that is to leave.

23
00:00:48,298 --> 00:00:49,549
Why did
he break your nose?

24
00:00:49,633 --> 00:00:50,633
I don't remember.

25
00:00:50,759 --> 00:00:52,468
And there was
no one there
to stop it?

26
00:00:52,761 --> 00:00:54,387
Oh, I... I could
have stopped it.

27
00:00:54,471 --> 00:00:55,805
I took it.

28
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:57,807

for your concern.

62
00:03:15,362 --> 00:03:18,281
Your lack of interest
is rather liberating,
actually.

63
00:03:18,365 --> 00:03:21,784
I could likely say anything
to you and you wouldn't blink.

64
00:03:23,453 --> 00:03:25,454

for me to take her
in the mornings.

Well, then, perhaps
you can find someone else

70
00:03:40,554 --> 00:03:41,721
to bring her.

71
00:03:41,805 --> 00:03:43,764
I mean
that it's much
better for her.

72
00:03:43,932 --> 00:03:45,683
By the afternoon,
she's very tired,

73
00:03:45,767 --> 00:03:47,268
so perhaps you
have a patient

74
00:03:47,352 --> 00:03:49,478
who prefers
taking an
afternoon slot.

76

to move their
appointment

What you may
be unaware of,
Priscilla,

80
00:03:57,654 --> 00:04:00,406
is the fact
that my friend
is also a doctor.

81
00:04:00,490 --> 00:04:01,616
I can come in
the afternoons.

82
00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:02,950
And I would like to
think that you
would be glad

83
00:04:03,035 --> 00:04:04,201
to extend to
Dr DePaul...

courtesy that...
It's me. Mariel.

86
00:04:08,165 --> 00:04:09,874
Oh, you don't
recognise me
because...

87
00:04:09,958 --> 00:04:11,834
Ta-da...
I'm down two sizes.

88
00:04:11,918 --> 00:04:13,169

look wonderful.

to the most wonderful

91
00:04:17,299 --> 00:04:19,050
And Priscilla here
was having trouble

92
00:04:19,134 --> 00:04:20,760
finding us
a morning
appointment.

93
00:04:20,844 --> 00:04:23,429
Virginia,
take the afternoon slot.
Sign us out of here.

94
00:04:23,513 --> 00:04:25,097
Yes, since I told you
mornings next week

95
00:04:25,182 --> 00:04:26,515
are completely booked.

96
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:27,767
Completely?

00:04:27,851 --> 00:04:29,727
This is why we call you

98
00:04:30,103 --> 00:04:32,355
We do.
It's not even a secret.

99
00:04:32,648 --> 00:04:34,607
Uh, I'll see
if Mrs Marmo

100
00:04:34,691 --> 00:04:36,692
is willing to switch
her 10:00 a. m.

00:04:36,777 --> 00:04:37,860
Does that work for you,
Virginia?

102
00:04:37,944 --> 00:04:39,028
That would be
wonderful.

103
00:04:39,112 --> 00:04:40,655
Thank you so much.

104
00:04:42,949 --> 00:04:45,576
You just can't take no
for an answer, can you?

105
00:04:48,705 --> 00:04:51,332
As you can see,
we screen
very thoroughly.

106
00:04:51,416 --> 00:04:54,210
We do an intake
with you first,
of course.

107
00:04:54,378 --> 00:04:56,003
It's impressive.

108
00:04:56,672 --> 00:04:58,089
Guess what I'm wondering...

109
00:04:58,590 --> 00:05:00,508
Um, my question is...

110
00:05:01,843 --> 00:05:03,803
You can ask me anything.

111
00:05:04,888 --> 00:05:07,682
Well, sometimes,
in the bedroom,
I mean, with Roger...

112
00:05:07,766 --> 00:05:08,849
That's my husband...

113
00:05:08,934 --> 00:05:13,312
I wonder if different ways
of being intimate
would produce...

114
00:05:13,397 --> 00:05:15,022
Different results?

115
00:05:15,774 --> 00:05:18,317
Well, first of all,
we would be happy

116
00:05:18,402 --> 00:05:20,653
to have both you
and your husband
as participants

117
00:05:20,737 --> 00:05:22,071
in the study together,

118
00:05:22,447 --> 00:05:23,864
and I could see to it

119
00:05:23,949 --> 00:05:25,700
that you could
experiment

120
00:05:25,784 --> 00:05:27,284
with different
sexual positions,

121
00:05:27,411 --> 00:05:29,578
which is, I think,
what you're
trying to say.

122
00:05:30,914 --> 00:05:32,123
I wish I could do this.

123
00:05:32,207 --> 00:05:34,667
You can.
It's completely
anonymous.

00:05:34,918 --> 00:05:35,918

125
00:05:36,002 --> 00:05:37,336
It's not my husband.
It's Dr Hendricks.

126
00:05:37,421 --> 00:05:38,754
I'm sorry?

127
00:05:38,922 --> 00:05:41,173

has forbidden staff

128
00:05:41,258 --> 00:05:42,842
from participating
in the study.

129
00:05:42,926 --> 00:05:44,385
I mean forbidden.

130
00:05:44,594 --> 00:05:47,263

as I'd like to,

our fliers in the
dead of night.

135
00:05:55,772 --> 00:05:57,398
I removed them
in broad daylight.

136

You promised me

137
00:05:58,900 --> 00:06:00,943
our study had
your full backing
and support.

138
00:06:01,111 --> 00:06:03,028
I did allow your study
to come to this hospital,

139
00:06:03,113 --> 00:06:05,030
but I assumed you'd
bring your own subjects.

140
00:06:05,115 --> 00:06:07,950

White subjects only!

141
00:06:10,746 --> 00:06:11,954
Wait here.

142
00:06:14,708 --> 00:06:16,709
Why is your staff not
allowed to participate?

143
00:06:16,793 --> 00:06:18,586
Bad idea.
According to whom?

144
00:06:18,670 --> 00:06:19,879
Charles,
if your intention

145
00:06:19,963 --> 00:06:22,798
is to move
history forward,
as you put it to me,

146
00:06:22,883 --> 00:06:24,467
you better come up
with a better reason
than that,

147
00:06:24,551 --> 00:06:26,510
otherwise you are a man
spouting revolution

148
00:06:26,595 --> 00:06:29,096
while in reality,
you're just toeing
the party line.

149
00:06:30,223 --> 00:06:32,183
No doubt there's a gurney
waiting for you somewhere.

150
00:06:32,267 --> 00:06:33,267
Find it.

151
00:06:38,815 --> 00:06:40,065
You're not familiar

152
00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:41,525
with the history
of medical research

153
00:06:41,610 --> 00:06:43,319
in the Negro community.

154
00:06:43,403 --> 00:06:44,862
Why, if you mean...

155
00:06:44,988 --> 00:06:46,405
I mean, Negroes forced
to undergo

156
00:06:46,490 --> 00:06:47,990
risky experimental
surgeries,

157
00:06:48,074 --> 00:06:49,825
dosed with radiation,

158
00:06:49,951 --> 00:06:52,286
cut open to find
brain abnormalities

159
00:06:52,370 --> 00:06:55,289
which could explain
their propensity
to violence.

160
00:06:55,499 --> 00:06:56,624
I have heard...

161
00:06:56,708 --> 00:06:59,585
You've heard
that Negroes have
been thought to require

162
00:06:59,669 --> 00:07:02,004
near lethal doses
of X-rays to

163
00:07:02,088 --> 00:07:04,131
penetrate their skin.

164
00:07:04,216 --> 00:07:06,050
And now we have
you and Miss Johnson,

165
00:07:06,134 --> 00:07:07,635
two white researchers,

166
00:07:07,719 --> 00:07:11,639
who wish to
watch through glass
as Negroes copulate.

167
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:14,600
In our study,
subjects understand

168
00:07:14,684 --> 00:07:16,268
the parameters
of their participation.

169
00:07:16,353 --> 00:07:19,271
They know exactly
what is expected
of him or her and why.

170
00:07:19,356 --> 00:07:21,398
But the impression, Bill.

171
00:07:21,691 --> 00:07:24,610
The associations
the good people
of this community

172
00:07:24,694 --> 00:07:26,028
have with
their hospital...

173
00:07:26,112 --> 00:07:28,322
Your staff
already wants
to sign up.

174
00:07:28,406 --> 00:07:30,032
Several of them
would participate today

175
00:07:30,116 --> 00:07:31,242
if you weren't
forbidding it.

176
00:07:31,326 --> 00:07:33,160
Most of my staff
has never seen
a lynching.

177
00:07:33,245 --> 00:07:34,870
I have. Have you?

178
00:07:35,372 --> 00:07:37,498
No.
Did you know
most of the times

they castrate
a man before they
string him up?

180
00:07:41,253 --> 00:07:42,753
Why do you
think that is?

181
00:07:45,215 --> 00:07:47,424
Fear, I suppose,

182
00:07:47,509 --> 00:07:49,301
based on erroneous
stereotypes,

183
00:07:49,386 --> 00:07:52,304
stereotypes
a study like ours
could begin to dispel.

184
00:07:52,389 --> 00:07:53,973
Bill, trust me
when I tell you

185
00:07:54,057 --> 00:07:56,934
you have stepped
into something
you do not understand.

186
00:07:57,102 --> 00:07:59,603
Already it's creating
more of a headache
for me than I need.

187
00:07:59,729 --> 00:08:00,771
Just this morning,

188
00:08:00,856 --> 00:08:03,482
a journalist from a local
Negro paper was in my office

189
00:08:03,567 --> 00:08:05,359
wanting to verify
the shocking rumour

190
00:08:05,443 --> 00:08:06,944
that Buell Green
was embarking

191
00:08:07,028 --> 00:08:09,029
on a ground-breaking,
top-secret study

192
00:08:09,114 --> 00:08:11,532
exploring
Negro sexuality.

193
00:08:11,616 --> 00:08:14,243
But is that not
moving history forward,

194
00:08:14,327 --> 00:08:16,287
the very thing
you implored me
to do?

195
00:08:16,830 --> 00:08:18,330
We'll move
history forward.

196
00:08:18,456 --> 00:08:19,623
Mark my words.

197
00:08:19,708 --> 00:08:22,543
We just won't do it
by burning my hospital
to the ground.

198
00:08:25,547 --> 00:08:28,632
Now, if you don't mind,
I came in here to take a leak.

199
00:08:29,134 --> 00:08:31,260
Unless you'd like to watch.

200
00:08:37,601 --> 00:08:40,060
Uh, let's, uh,
start with
shrimp cocktail

201
00:08:40,145 --> 00:08:43,856
and then
steak and lobster
for the main part.

202
00:08:43,940 --> 00:08:47,026
Uh, and then
how about hot fudge
sundaes for dessert?

203
00:08:47,569 --> 00:08:48,527
You can do hot fudge?

204
00:08:48,612 --> 00:08:50,195

Ooh, what about
an ice sculpture?

We could do a swan.
I don't want a swan.

That's the most words
you've said in
a row all day.

I'm watching you,

you're killing yourself

And the idea

00:09:39,996 --> 00:09:42,748
that we're not
gonna be able to
have kids of our own,

227
00:09:42,832 --> 00:09:44,708
it's been really tough.

00:09:45,502 --> 00:09:46,961
I admit that.

to get used to the
idea of adopting, and...

230
00:09:53,176 --> 00:09:54,843
I just... I can't.

00:09:56,179 --> 00:09:59,807
I wanted our kids
to be you...
Part you, anyway.

232
00:10:00,517 --> 00:10:01,517
And when I realise

233
00:10:01,601 --> 00:10:04,103
how much I want to
see you in those

is in 15 minutes.

You were saying
something about
Hendricks?

About his, uh,
not wanting Negroes
in the study?

Hendricks doesn't.

250
00:10:53,737 --> 00:10:54,862
But he's wrong.

251
00:10:55,238 --> 00:10:56,739
And he knows he's wrong.

00:10:57,741 --> 00:10:58,949
Why would
he say it, then?

00:10:59,034 --> 00:11:00,409
He's scared.

00:11:00,744 --> 00:11:02,995
'Cause it's dangerous
for him.

Because all taboos
feel dangerous
until they're broken.

a Negro journalist

00:11:10,837 --> 00:11:13,047
who is interested
in the study being
at Buell Green.

We're trying to find
this journalist.

00:11:15,258 --> 00:11:18,469
Once we can
convince him of
the value of the work

260
00:11:18,928 --> 00:11:20,387
and he writes as much,

261
00:11:20,555 --> 00:11:22,890

does Hendricks have

262
00:11:22,974 --> 00:11:25,267

Negro participation
in the study?

if they put on this

It does concern me.

00:16:00,209 --> 00:16:02,753
Yet we believe
the Negro community
here

353
00:16:02,837 --> 00:16:04,713
could actually
benefit from
our study.

354
00:16:05,381 --> 00:16:07,007
Your study
might also
help dispel

355
00:16:07,091 --> 00:16:09,843
some of those stereotypes
about Negro sexuality.

356
00:16:09,927 --> 00:16:12,220
Our point to
Hendricks exactly.

357
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,223
So are you saying
this is the reason
you came to Buell Green?

358
00:16:15,350 --> 00:16:19,061
We should have included
Negroes in the study
from the beginning.

359
00:16:19,228 --> 00:16:20,687
But now that we have,

360
00:16:20,772 --> 00:16:22,898
we are committed
to this line of inquiry.

361
00:16:23,191 --> 00:16:25,233
My only caution to you

362
00:16:25,526 --> 00:16:26,943
would be to remember

363
00:16:27,028 --> 00:16:29,821
we're not here to
forward anyone's
agenda.

364
00:16:29,906 --> 00:16:32,032
The mandate of our study

365
00:16:32,116 --> 00:16:34,659
is to only go
where the
research leads.

366
00:16:34,827 --> 00:16:36,370
Meaning it
isn't your job

367
00:16:36,454 --> 00:16:38,914
to eradicate the image of,
say, the Mandingo.

368
00:16:39,916 --> 00:16:43,043
A Negro that acts
like an animal,
obsessed with sex.

369
00:16:43,169 --> 00:16:45,003
Or the jezebel,
the female equivalent.

00:16:46,422 --> 00:16:49,674
The portrayal of black
women as oversexed
and immoral

372
00:16:49,759 --> 00:16:51,343
to the point
where a black woman
can't be raped

373
00:16:51,427 --> 00:16:53,720
because
she wants sex
all the time.

374
00:16:55,098 --> 00:16:59,601
Well...
Certain facts
can be measured.

375
00:16:59,977 --> 00:17:02,687

performance,
frequency.

376
00:17:03,189 --> 00:17:07,192
As Mrs Johnson says,
we will publish
what we find

377
00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:09,694
and let the facts
speak for themselves.

I want you to
tell me what's going

You should talk
to your general
physician.

I'm asking you.

385
00:17:32,468 --> 00:17:34,094
You seem to
not think of me
as a person,

386
00:17:34,178 --> 00:17:36,012

to tell me straight,

may slow the cancer,

but it's unlikely
to stop it.

00:17:47,150 --> 00:17:49,151
Your aphasia will worsen.

391
00:17:49,444 --> 00:17:52,487
It'll be harder to express
your thoughts,
to think clearly.

392
00:17:53,531 --> 00:17:56,324
You'll start to sleep
for longer and
longer periods,

393
00:17:56,826 --> 00:17:59,995
and you will suffer loss
of bladder and bowel control.

396
00:18:05,168 --> 00:18:06,501
It varies.

397
00:18:07,170 --> 00:18:09,087
You can talk to your doctor
about morphine, but it's...

398
00:18:09,172 --> 00:18:10,755

a few more days

feel that way,

Because you never know
what could happen.

What did the doctor say?
Surely there
must be a protocol.

525
00:25:12,052 --> 00:25:13,428
I know you.

(CAR DOOR CLOSES)

527
00:26:21,830 --> 00:26:24,290
LIBBY: It was a friend high up
in the police department.

528
00:26:24,500 --> 00:26:25,917
I simply asked
him to check

529
00:26:26,001 --> 00:26:27,835
because I was concerned
about your safety.

530
00:26:28,504 --> 00:26:29,671
It wasn't Robert's fault.

531
00:26:29,755 --> 00:26:32,340
So you know that
he has a record.

532
00:26:32,424 --> 00:26:35,093
He's been
arrested three times!
How can that not concern you?

533
00:26:35,177 --> 00:26:36,719
You don't understand.

534
00:26:36,804 --> 00:26:38,179
He was walking
down the street.

535
00:26:38,263 --> 00:26:39,555
They picked him up
outside a bar.

536
00:26:40,099 --> 00:26:42,517
One arrest
was for assaulting
a police officer.

537
00:26:42,601 --> 00:26:43,810
They assaulted him first.

538
00:26:43,894 --> 00:26:45,937
Coral !
Listen to yourself!

539
00:26:46,355 --> 00:26:48,022
I feel like Robert's
intoxicated you

540
00:26:48,107 --> 00:26:50,024
to the point
where you can't
see straight.

541
00:26:50,776 --> 00:26:52,276
Why are you doing this?

542
00:26:52,361 --> 00:26:54,487
Because I am uncomfortable.

543
00:26:54,905 --> 00:26:57,198
I'm very uncomfortable
with him

544
00:26:58,075 --> 00:27:00,868
and whatever it is
that's going on
between you two.

545
00:27:01,161 --> 00:27:03,663
I can't have me
or baby John

546
00:27:03,747 --> 00:27:05,540
around someone
with a criminal record.

547
00:27:06,542 --> 00:27:08,292
And I can see
that I can't
persuade you

548
00:27:08,377 --> 00:27:10,378
to stop seeing him, so...

549
00:27:10,713 --> 00:27:13,297
Given that I don't
feel comfortable,

550
00:27:14,383 --> 00:27:16,968
that I need to keep
my family safe,

551
00:27:17,052 --> 00:27:19,262
I can't have him
coming to the house.

552
00:27:19,346 --> 00:27:20,805
I'm sorry,
but from now on,

553
00:27:20,889 --> 00:27:22,140
you're gonna
have to find someone
else to drive you.

554
00:27:22,224 --> 00:27:24,017
You'll have to make
other arrangements.

555
00:27:24,101 --> 00:27:25,476
Yes, ma'am.

556
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,481
I know you think
you have something
with Robert,

557
00:27:30,566 --> 00:27:32,400
but ask yourself,

558
00:27:33,652 --> 00:27:35,111
"Is it really worth it?"

559
00:27:35,696 --> 00:27:40,742
All this tumult
for that one thing?

560
00:27:41,869 --> 00:27:42,994
I'll make a call.

561
00:27:43,078 --> 00:27:45,038
My auntie can
pick me up tonight.

562
00:27:48,250 --> 00:27:49,333
Okay.

(SIGHS)

564
00:27:54,757 --> 00:27:57,300
I got the funnies,
if that's what
you're looking for.

565
00:27:57,885 --> 00:27:59,469
Alka-Seltzer, more like.

566
00:28:01,096 --> 00:28:02,430
You must have
polished off
an entire bottle

567
00:28:02,514 --> 00:28:04,515
last night
after we left.

568
00:28:06,435 --> 00:28:09,312
Al and I were laughing
about when we were kids.

569
00:28:09,396 --> 00:28:11,481
We would double date.
I'd always drive.

570
00:28:11,607 --> 00:28:13,858
I would leave Al
in the back seat with
his date to have at it

571
00:28:13,942 --> 00:28:17,111
while whatever girl
was stuck with me

572
00:28:17,237 --> 00:28:19,322
would be sitting in
the front seat with
her hands in her lap,

573
00:28:19,406 --> 00:28:21,616
wondering
why I suddenly
went paralysed.

574
00:28:22,201 --> 00:28:23,701
Al's an oaf.
Oh, really?

575
00:28:24,536 --> 00:28:25,620
'Cause from
where I'm standing,

576
00:28:25,704 --> 00:28:26,954
it seems like maybe
you like Al a lot.

577
00:28:27,039 --> 00:28:29,248
Maybe you got
a thing for Al.

578
00:28:29,958 --> 00:28:31,292
Oh, my God.

579
00:28:31,460 --> 00:28:32,543
What? Don't play
dumb with me.

580
00:28:32,628 --> 00:28:35,296
You yelled like a house on
fire when Al kissed Helen.

581
00:28:35,380 --> 00:28:37,799
Their pawing each other
was a vulgar display.

582
00:28:37,883 --> 00:28:39,801
Or maybe you want to be
in that back seat with Al,

583
00:28:40,010 --> 00:28:41,636
have him kissing on you
instead of Helen.

584
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,013
Maybe I'm just
not man enough for you.

585
00:28:44,098 --> 00:28:45,348
Oh, you can't be serious.

586
00:28:45,432 --> 00:28:48,226
You... You are worth
a dozen Als...
Two dozen Als.

587
00:28:48,310 --> 00:28:49,811
We promised each other
no more lies,

588
00:28:49,895 --> 00:28:51,979
so if I am
disappointing you,

589
00:28:52,064 --> 00:28:53,356
you know, between
the sheets, just...

590
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,399
Oh, for God's sakes.
You want the truth?

591
00:28:55,484 --> 00:28:59,570
I was genuinely
sickened by that
Al-and-Helen freak show.

592
00:28:59,822 --> 00:29:01,572
What are you talking about?
They're getting married.

593
00:29:01,657 --> 00:29:04,659
They are somewhere
between the bearded lady
and the monkey man.

594
00:29:04,743 --> 00:29:07,036
I have been
putting up with
Al because of you,

595
00:29:07,121 --> 00:29:08,913
because you
are friends with him,

596
00:29:08,997 --> 00:29:12,542
but (SCOFFS) last night,
that... That was too much.

597
00:29:12,626 --> 00:29:14,502
I cannot stand Al,

598
00:29:14,586 --> 00:29:16,712
and I don't want
to see them ever again.

599
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,469
Even Helen?
(SIGHS)

600
00:29:25,013 --> 00:29:27,974
Helen especially.

601
00:29:29,768 --> 00:29:30,810
Whew.

602
00:29:31,353 --> 00:29:33,271
If I could check
just a few facts
with you.

603
00:29:33,355 --> 00:29:35,982
I'm wondering
if part of the reason

604
00:29:36,066 --> 00:29:37,400
you were drawn
to medicine in
the first place

605
00:29:37,484 --> 00:29:39,861
was due to the fact that
you were sickly as a child.

606
00:29:41,530 --> 00:29:42,697
I'm sorry?

607
00:29:42,865 --> 00:29:44,448
You suffered
two serious bouts

608
00:29:44,575 --> 00:29:47,118
with a fairly rare
blood infection.
Septicaemia.

609
00:29:47,202 --> 00:29:48,703
Which landed you
in the hospital

610
00:29:48,787 --> 00:29:52,540
for a three-month stay
when you were eight,

611
00:29:52,624 --> 00:29:55,001
four-and-a-half months
at 10.

612
00:29:55,627 --> 00:29:57,128
That must have
left a strong impression

613
00:29:57,212 --> 00:29:58,296
on a young boy.

614
00:30:01,758 --> 00:30:04,969
I went into,
uh, medicine

615
00:30:05,053 --> 00:30:06,596
because I was focused.

616
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,515
I knew what
I wanted to do.

617
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,309
But you had
a wide variety
of interests

618
00:30:11,393 --> 00:30:12,810
at Hamilton College.

619
00:30:12,895 --> 00:30:15,146
You were a boxer.
You learned to fly a plane.

620
00:30:15,230 --> 00:30:17,440
I had a pilot's
licence. So?

621
00:30:17,524 --> 00:30:19,400
So why not be a pilot?

622
00:30:21,069 --> 00:30:22,153
Uh...

623
00:30:22,905 --> 00:30:26,282
As an obstetrician,
you get to bring life
into the world.

624
00:30:26,366 --> 00:30:29,410
So, the sickly child
became Prometheus,

625
00:30:29,494 --> 00:30:31,954
creating man from clay.

626
00:30:33,749 --> 00:30:35,708
If you're trying to imply

627
00:30:35,792 --> 00:30:38,502
I have some sort
of god complex...

628
00:30:38,587 --> 00:30:42,006
The point is
your story is one
our readers can understand.

629
00:30:42,090 --> 00:30:44,050
You started
under adverse
circumstances,

630
00:30:44,134 --> 00:30:46,636
you focused on work
that served the
greater good,

631
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,471
and now
you're here
at Buell Green,

632
00:30:48,555 --> 00:30:50,848
having come from
Memorial Hospital,

633
00:30:50,933 --> 00:30:52,850
where your tenure
was very short.

634
00:30:53,393 --> 00:30:55,019
A month, in fact.

635
00:30:55,103 --> 00:30:56,771
Technically, yes.

636
00:30:57,522 --> 00:30:59,690
Is it true you assaulted
a physician at Memorial?

637
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,865
You...
You talked to
Doug Greathouse?

638
00:31:11,453 --> 00:31:13,746
Doug Greathouse
is irrelevant to
this story.

639
00:31:13,872 --> 00:31:15,122
There was
also an incident

640
00:31:15,207 --> 00:31:17,375
where you put
a fire extinguisher

641
00:31:17,459 --> 00:31:19,252
through a window
at Maternity Hospital.

642
00:31:19,336 --> 00:31:21,212
This apparently led
to your dismissal.

643
00:31:21,296 --> 00:31:22,380
That is incorrect.

644
00:31:22,464 --> 00:31:23,506
You weren't dismissed?

645
00:31:23,590 --> 00:31:25,132
The chancellor and I
did not see eye-to-eye.

646
00:31:25,217 --> 00:31:27,343
Miss Hogue,
the story we agreed

647
00:31:27,427 --> 00:31:29,720
is about
the positive effect
of our study

648
00:31:29,805 --> 00:31:31,973
on the Negro community
here at Buell Green.

649
00:31:32,057 --> 00:31:33,266
And it is.

650
00:31:33,350 --> 00:31:36,602
We also agreed the facts
would speak for themselves.

651
00:31:36,687 --> 00:31:38,354
And from what
I can gather,

652
00:31:38,438 --> 00:31:40,856
you've had a very
successful career.

653
00:31:40,941 --> 00:31:43,067
But now with
your sex study,

654
00:31:44,361 --> 00:31:45,695
you've met
with resistance.

655
00:31:45,779 --> 00:31:48,572
And so you've countered
with resistance.

656
00:31:48,657 --> 00:31:49,657
You've had to.

657
00:31:49,741 --> 00:31:51,617
Which makes you
a revolutionary of sorts,

658
00:31:51,702 --> 00:31:53,577
estranged from
the white community.

659
00:31:53,662 --> 00:31:56,080
I'm not estranged
from the white community.

660
00:31:56,164 --> 00:31:57,498
Like many
in our community,

661
00:31:57,582 --> 00:31:59,542
forced to resort
to violent tactics.

662
00:31:59,626 --> 00:32:02,336
Well, according
to Greathouse and
his band of idiots.

663
00:32:02,587 --> 00:32:04,839
Jesus, don't...
Don't write that.

664
00:32:04,923 --> 00:32:07,091
Look, these...
These incidents
taken out of context

665
00:32:07,175 --> 00:32:08,342
will be misunderstood,

666
00:32:08,427 --> 00:32:10,011
and I do not want
them used in the piece.

667
00:32:13,557 --> 00:32:15,850
You don't get to say
what's included
in the piece.

668
00:32:16,310 --> 00:32:17,810
It's my study.

669
00:32:18,603 --> 00:32:20,271
And it's my story.

670
00:32:24,109 --> 00:32:25,609
So you won't
be our witnesses now?

671
00:32:25,694 --> 00:32:28,029
No. No,
I don't think so.

672
00:32:28,113 --> 00:32:30,531
And... And I also
have to talk to
you about...

673
00:32:30,615 --> 00:32:32,241
About the party tonight.

674
00:32:32,326 --> 00:32:33,451
What the hell?

675
00:32:33,535 --> 00:32:35,244
I know.
Al, I'm sorry.

676
00:32:35,329 --> 00:32:36,954
I was gonna make up
some story,

677
00:32:37,039 --> 00:32:38,497
like the kitchen
caught on fire

678
00:32:38,582 --> 00:32:40,124
or the caterer
got run over
by a bus,

679
00:32:40,208 --> 00:32:41,542
but we got a history,
so I'm...

680
00:32:41,626 --> 00:32:43,377
I'm gonna
give it to you straight.

681
00:32:43,545 --> 00:32:45,546
Betty doesn't
like Helen.

682
00:32:45,630 --> 00:32:46,756
But they're
thick as thieves.

683
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,301
Maybe they once were,
but something's gone
sour there, and...

684
00:32:50,385 --> 00:32:53,512
And Betty
is done with Helen.

685
00:32:55,265 --> 00:32:57,391
That is just insane.

686
00:32:58,769 --> 00:33:01,062
I mean, those two...
They're so close.

687
00:33:01,146 --> 00:33:02,855
The way they
kiss each other
right on the lips,

688
00:33:02,939 --> 00:33:04,065
and now they
hate each other?

689
00:33:04,149 --> 00:33:05,358
I don't...
Wait, wait, wait, wait.

690
00:33:05,442 --> 00:33:07,985
What are you
talking about?
On the... On the lips?

691
00:33:08,570 --> 00:33:09,653
Yeah.

692
00:33:09,738 --> 00:33:12,073
At Kemoll's.
That night we
all had dinner.

693
00:33:12,574 --> 00:33:13,991
I went out to see if Helen

694
00:33:14,076 --> 00:33:15,534
wanted me to order
crème de menthe

695
00:33:15,619 --> 00:33:17,119
when she left the table
