Unspeakable

"My dad said in his will

that you should get his beloved Marlin 336.

He said you would know what to do with it."

The only real option is a liver transplant.

Unfortunately,

the government won't allow it

for patients with HIV.

It's going to make a hell of a twist

for Dad's new book, right?

He can't publish without my permission.

This was a mistake. Excuse me.

Ben...

I want a child.

Someone to continue on in this world with me.

How'd it go?

She thinks it's depression.

What kind of treatment?

Similar to the previous one.

Can't it wait?

I'm up for this big project at work.

Unfortunately,

the study starts now.

She's beautiful.

Hey, Mya...

I'm your grandma.

They destroy evidence, and nothing.

Those sons of bitches are going to get off.

I swear, Will, I don't know what I'm going to do.

You okay in there?

Oh, sure.

Never better.

Yes, it's pretty good, huh?

Yeah?

Big one, big one, big one, big one.

Mom, leave it.

It's just going to get messed up again.

Well, for five minutes,

it'll be clean.

Good morning.

If you say so.

Mya, we have to go!

Hey.

Feel better today.

Thanks. Love you.

Love you too.

Hey, we're gonna be late.

Bye, everybody else!

Bye!

Can I fix you some breakfast?

No.

That's okay, I got him.

Yeah.

Okay.

Only two months left.

I know my whole point of view is being warped by these drugs.

I just...

I don't know if I can take it anymore.

I can barely bring myself to take these.

The treatment is 48 weeks for a reason.

Well, if it was going to work,

it should have worked by now.

I mean, how could a virus survive

when I feel like I'm almost dead?

Think of how much better

you're gonna feel when it's over.

I don't remember what better feels like.

I got my latest results.

My T-cells are still pretty low.

None of these new drugs seem to be helping.

I can't wait till your Aunt Emma cures this thing.

Hopefully before it's too late for Daddy.

Why do you say that stuff?

He doesn't understand it.

Truth is, I'll be happy to make it through residency.

You're the most determined human being I know.

Some days, the only thing that keeps me going

is knowing how hard Mom worked

to get me through med school.

You are her shining light.

You're so annoying.

I still have a loan I'll be paying back

for the rest of my life.

You been following the trial?

Yeah, well, it's pretty hard to avoid.

I'm surprised that you are.

It doesn't seem to be going well,

which I don't get.

I thought Krever had it all laid out.

Well, a federal commission

isn't the same as a court of law.

There's a big difference

between what Krever called "wrongdoing"

and proving criminal intent.

Testimony continued today

in the Tainted Blood criminal trial.

Sources inside the courtroom

say the Crown's key witness may have crumbled.

In short, the Crown would have you believe

that Armour Pharmaceuticals

put more value on Dr. Prince's studies

than Dr. Prince did himself.

Mr. Greenspan!

Mr. Greenspan!

Mr. Greenspan!

Dr. Rodell and all the top Armour executives

were at the Tuckahoe meeting on October 15th, 1985.

The minutes of that meeting

acknowledge that Dr. Prince's studies showed

that Armour's heat-treatment was not effective.

And Dr. Prince was unable to adequately reproduce

any results from the initial experiments--

Yes, but the conclusion of that meeting, sir,

was that changing the process would cost millions of dollars.

So was it all about money?

At no time did Dr. Prince communicate to Armour

that they were producing an unsafe product.

And furthermore,

none of that implicates my client in any way.

Thank you.

Mr. Greenspan!

Hey...

I heard you were in Toronto.

The Sun now?

Yup. Yeah.

I've been following your coverage.

Five-year investigation,

and this is the best they can do?

It's a train wreck.

You had the story in '82, and I didn't print it.

Well, you can't rewrite history.

No, you can't.

But for what it's worth,

I'm sorry.

Who knows how many lives it could have saved?

I'm very sorry.

I knew.

I mean, if it had worked,

I'd be feeling better by now.

Yes. The drugs should be out of your system

at this point.

The symptoms you're having are because the virus has rebounded.

Your ALTs are quite high.

I knew I should have quit.

Another year of torture for nothing.

saw thousands of Canadians infected with Hepatitis C

and HIV.

Devastating, for many it was deadly.

But today,

in a case involving just a few of the victims,

a judge ruled that she saw no crime,

acquitting four senior doctors and a U.S. drug company

on charges of negligence.

"There was no conduct

that showed wanton and reckless disregard.

There was no marked departure

from the standard of a reasonable person..."

"...on the contrary,

the conduct examined in detail for over one and a half years

confirms reasonable, responsible,

and professional actions and responses

during a difficult time."

"The events here were tragic,

however, to assign blame where none exists

is to compound the tragedy.

The evidence taken as a whole

establishes a thoughtful,

careful, and considered course of conduct

by Dr. Perrault

that has no element of blameworthiness."

"Dr. Rodell's words to Dr. Walker of the Red Cross

were relied on by the Crown

to suggest an aggressive stance

or a lack of cooperation.

This comment stands in isolation

and complete contrast to all of the other evidence

about Dr. Rodell's words and actions.

The evidence discloses patience,

and thoughtful,

well-reasoned responses.

It is understandable that one intemperate remark

was made at this pressure-packed time.

It does not establish a lack of cooperation or concern"!

I'm leaving you.

Thousands are dead,

and many thousands more are suffering

as a result of what the Krever Inquiry identified

as grave wrongdoing

on the part of those in charge of our blood system.

And yet,

not only did this judge find these men innocent,

she lauded their behaviour.

Canadians should not sleep well tonight

knowing that their justice system has failed,

has left us all knowing

that not only are there no consequences

for the behaviour that led to the death

and suffering of so many,

but instead, lavish praise.

This is a complete exoneration

and absolute vindication of my client's innocence
