Now, once that we prove
radium is poisonous,
716
00:49:41,193 --> 00:49:43,863
we can win by proving
that American Radium
717
00:49:43,896 --> 00:49:45,699
has known of the
danger for years.

study years ago.

this before we did?

No.

If American Radium paid
for it, they own it.

- Own research?
- That's absurd!

there are many
competing theories...
977
01:07:06,137 --> 01:07:08,907
Mr. Roeder, did you commission
a study of the radium paint
978

death of Mary Cavallo?
979

put in a steel cast

from my chest to my knees.
1260
01:26:53,323 --> 01:26:55,960
My doctor said the radium
honeycombed my jaw bone.

1262

No.

Leave, spirit!

Why did you do it?
1271
01:28:13,235 --> 01:28:14,404
My sister...
1272
01:28:16,340 --> 01:28:17,975
She was dying of cancer.
1273
01:28:18,007 --> 01:28:22,112
Radium was the miracle cure.

What?
1275
01:28:26,449 --> 01:28:27,518
But I was too late.
1276
01:28:30,854 --> 01:28:32,123
I'm always too late.

Forgive me, Mary.

Maat, will you break
the power of Satan
1282
01:29:02,118 --> 01:29:05,155
from his assignments
in Walter Leech's life?

Maybe she got a court date set.

Girls, this is
federal judge Clark.

Was a court date set?
1302
01:30:49,458 --> 01:30:51,894
I have been following
your painful story,
1303
01:30:51,927 --> 01:30:55,565
so I took it upon myself
to negotiate a deal
1304
01:30:55,599 --> 01:30:58,168
with American Radium
on your behalf.
1305
01:30:58,201 --> 01:31:00,871
10 thousand, each.
1306
01:31:00,904 --> 01:31:01,672
Dollars?
1307
01:31:02,706 --> 01:31:03,974
Yes.
1308
01:31:04,006 --> 01:31:06,210
And they'll pay for all
your medical expenses.
1309
01:31:07,978 --> 01:31:10,514
And are they admitting
that radium is toxic?
1310
01:31:10,546 --> 01:31:12,148
Oh, they'll shut
down the factory.
1311
01:31:12,181 --> 01:31:14,384
Don't worry, it's all in there.
1312
01:31:14,417 --> 01:31:16,153
Okay, um...
1313
01:31:16,185 --> 01:31:18,521
I'm sorry, but what about
getting radium banned?
1314
01:31:18,555 --> 01:31:20,490
- That was...
- $10,000, Bessie!

drag this out for years.
