Original subtitles

Mr. Markowitz, Barry Gorman. Thanks for seein' me.

Sure. What can I do for you?

Oh, we'll get to that.

That's a nice family.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

So you have a client with a tax problem, is that right?

Hm? Oh, no, no.

This is a private matter.

You, uh, [clears throat]

knew a woman back in 1974 named Karen Alder?

Yes. I did indeed.

We met down in Baja. How's she doin'?

She passed away a few months ago.

I'm very sorry to hear that.

She was, she was a couple of years younger than I am.

You and Ms. Alder had a relationship, right?

I wouldn't call it a relationship.

We went out a few times.

You had... sexual relations

on some on those occasions, didn't you?

Excuse me?

What is this about, Mr. Gorman?

This is about paternity, Mr. Markowitz.

You have a daughter.

[theme music]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

Well, so far this alleged "daughter" hasn't filed yet.

She'll probably threaten to go public to force a settlement.

- That's blackmail! Arnie: Oh, absolutely.

Look, this Gorman is a bottom-feeder,

I wouldn't be surprised if he manipulated

this girl into filing suit.

He may even try to get appointed her guardian.

So we're looking at fraud here?

Probably, but they've done some homework.

Stuart...

you did know this woman, Karen Alder?

Yeah, I-- I-- I dated her for like, uh, 3 months.

And you did go to bed with her?

Yeah, it was a casual thing.

- Well, I wasn't a monk! - I never said you were.

Okay, the good news is, the girl is sixteen,

the most she can ask for is 2 years' support

until she reaches her majority.

What's the bad news?

California child support

guidelines state that a child

must be supported in a fashion commensurate

with the father's wealth.

Ann: Oh, God...

Given your net annual salary,

I can see her going for, what, 6,000 a month for 2 years?

You're lookin' at $150,000 hit here.

If this really were my daughter

why didn't the mother contact me for support?

- Exactly! Arnie: Relax.

- They overlooked one thing. - What?

Your sperm count is so low

it can be measured in fractions.

Their case is real shaky.

Great. That makes me feel really wonderful.

So, what do we do?

The easiest way to get rid of this?

DNA tests.

But it probably won't come to that.

Look, Gorman is a K-Mart lawyer.

If I go at him at Warp Ten and I don't let up,

I might intimidate him right back into the woodwork.

Good, because if he thinks we are going to roll over

for this kind of extortion, he is dead wrong!

Next up, The Simon and Katherine Rubin Foundation

versus University of California and Dr. Emily Connor.

We're representing Dr. Connor and the University?

Yeah, The Rubin Foundation

granted Dr. Connor $100,000 to study a new way

to save heart attack and stroke victims.

She's halfway through the project

and Kurt Rubin, the Foundation president,

wants his money back.

Why?

He says she's breached their contract

by using scientific data

from the Nazi concentration camps.

- Nazis? Cara: What data?

- We're representing Nazis? - No.

We're representing a highly respected scientist

who wants to save lives.

Which particular Nazi experiments is she using?

The Dachau hypothermia experiment.

You know, where they subjected prisoners

to freezing temperatures and monitored

their physiological responses.

- How many died? Jonathan: About 90 men,

but tens of thousands die every month

from heart disease, and my client

thinks she can save a lot of them.

I'm sorry, but I don't buy that.

Arnie: I hate to sound crass,

but if it meant the life and death

of somebody that I loved, I'd want them to use the data.

It won't change what happened to those prisoners.

I don't think it's quite that simple, Arnold.

Come on, Leland, no one's saying the experiments

weren't horrendous, but they were 50 years ago.

If the data can save even one life today,

I feel we should do it.

I'm not saying you shouldn't

take the case, Jonathan,

but I understand what Mr. Rubin is afraid of.

Is there any possibility of a settlement?

So far they haven't been willing.

I think they're just hoping for the best deal

at the 11th hour.

Good luck. And we're adjourned.

That's is for News at Noon. Have a great day, L.A.

We're clear! Good work, people.

Good piece.

These chairs are murder.

Here, let me show you what's good for that.

Come here, sit down.

Ooh, your scapula's in spasm.

Okay, just relax.

How can I ever thank you?

Well... now that you ask...

I have 2 tickets for Phantom this Friday night

and I just broke up with someone.

I'd hate to listen to the music of the night alone.

Would you go with me?

I'd love to, but I-- but I can't.

I'm living with someone and, uh...

She's gonna meet me here for lunch.

Well, that proves it.

All the good ones are taken.

Sorry. [both laughs]

I'll live.

Just to show you there are no hard feelings,

I'll finish up your left trap.

[sighs]

Is this what they mean by "hands on" journalism?

[both laughing]

Oh, boy, this is heaven.

Ahem.

Roxanne! Hi.

Uh, this is Julie Rayburn.

- Uh, you know Julie Rayburn? - No, no.

But I've heard a lot about her.

Uh, Julie, this is my girlfriend,

Roxanne Melman.

Nice to meet you. You've got a great guy here.

Thanks. I think so, too. Most of the time.

We gotta go. See you tomorrow.

We'd like to find some middle ground here, Mr. Rubin.

We've still got a few minutes before court.

No.

It can't hurt to at least listen, Kurt.

Rubin: There is middle ground!

Using my money to legitimize Nazis

desecrates the memory of my parents.

And letting people die honors them?

- Emily... - We have a contract.

This isn't just about contracts.

It's about not forgetting.

This is pointless.

Jonathan!

- Hey, babe. - There was a file

on the kitchen table.

Ah, yes, People versus Barretto?

Yes. You are a lifesaver.

I gotta go. Bye.

Your wife?

Girlfriend.

Is that... Is that a problem?

We live with it.

My mother was a Protestant

and my father was a Jew.

They were not allowed to live with it.

Under the Nazis, their marriage was a crime

and their punishment was death.

Mr. Rubin, what happened when you were 7 years old?

I was climbing trees in the woods near our house.

When I got home, my parents were gone.

The Nazis had taken them to Auschwitz.

- I never saw them again. Neil: What did you do?

Rubin: I lived in the woods for several days,

before a neighbor found me.

For the next year, I was a child fugitive.

Sometimes runnin, sometimes hiding

in farmers barns and cellars.

Finally I was, uh...

smuggled to Switzerland.

Do you know what happened to your parents

in the concentration camps?

Yes, a survivor I found after the war

told me that...

the Nazis tried to make my father a Kapo,

a prisoner who helped them brutalize other prisoners.

Neil: Did your father agree? - No.

He committed suicide

by throwing himself on an electrified fence.

And your mother?

They shot her

when she tried to stop them

from removing my father's head.

Neil: Why would they remove his head?

A Nazi anthropologist

wanted Jewish skulls for his collection.

And this is the kind of "science"

the Nazis practiced.

Objection, irrelevant!

It is not he kind of science Dr. Connor practices.

Sustained.

Why did you establish a foundation

in your parents name, Mr. Rubin?

To promote the betterment of mankind,

subject to ethical, medical research standards.

Then why did you agree to fund a project

that included the Dachau hypothermia data?

Because Dr. Connor's application didn't state

that she was going to use the data.

It was only after she cashed my check

that she began conducting seminars

which referenced this... torture.

If you'd known this,

you'd never have agreed to give her the grant?

Rubin: Absolutely not.

My mother and father were butchered

by those criminals, Mr. Robertson.

How can anyone expect me to give money in their name

to someone who says that these criminals

were scientists?

No further questions.

Does the Rubin Foundation require grant applicants

to list all of their research sources?

We require primary sources, yes.

And didn't Dr. Connor list her primary sources?

Rubin: Yes, but--

So, Dr. Connor didn't deceive you in her application?

No, but she obviously omitted the Dachau data

because she knew that I would refuse--

Move to strike. Mr. Rubin isn't able to read Dr. Connor's mind.

Sustained.

Doesn't your grant include a statement

protecting full academic freedom?

This is not about academic freedom, Mr. Rollins.

It's about my right to refuse to finance lies!

Yes or no, Mr. Rubin.

Do you believe in academic freedom?

Yes, but I don't believe in legitimizing atrocities--

And doesn't Dr. Connor say that her research can save lives?

Rubin: Yes, but--

And if that's true, isn't her work promoting

the betterment of mankind?

Not if it exonerates savagery!

Do you think this is all over and done with?

Do you think the Nazis were just some

historical aberration?

- Your Honor, move to strike. Rubin: Look around you!

We're in a recession and up springs

a former Ku Klux Klansman to run for president!

- Your Honor. Donald: Mr. Rubin.

In Germany Neo-Nazis are killing foreigners

and people watched, just like they watched Hitler.

Mr. Rubin, please!

What if you're a communist, Dr. Connor?

- Or a homosexual? - That's enough! Sit down.

What if they outlaw scientists?

What is you are the enemy next time?

Donald: Mr. Rubin... please.

Naw.

Be aggressive, Arnie. I want vintage Becker.

Please, Ann.

Good morning.

Mr. Markowitz. Mr. Becker.

This is my wife, Ann Kelsey.

Mr. Gorman.

I'd like you both to meet my client, Sarah Alder.

Hi.

Hello.

Hi.

- Hi. - Let's get started.

First thing I'd like to know is what you're doing

representing a minor?

It so happens, counselor, that I'm planning on

seeking guardianship for this young lady.

You know, the only thing that stinks here

worse than your case, counselor, is your ethics.

Let's drop the animosity, shall we?

You haven't seen animosity, Mr. Gorman.

It's highly unlikely that this girl

is Mr. Markowitz's daughter,

as these medical records from his urologist can attest.

You're leveling flimsy charges

against a man of high principles...

and a low sperm count.

Stuart: Alright, Arnie.

She's your daughter, Stuart.

Arnie: What? - What?

Ann: You're the father. I can tell.

Terrific! Let's draw up some papers.

Look at eyes for God's sake.

- Can't you see it? - I don't believe this.

How are we gonna tell Matthew?

Honey, M-- Matthew's two years old.

I can see it now, "Mother, this is Stuart's daughter

- this is Stuart's daughter-- Stuart: Oh, wait a minute!

We don't talk to your mother now.

- Why should this change? - He's not my father.

- What? Arnie: What?

I'm sorry.

I knew my mom had been with you,

I knew you had money, that's why I came to you.

But you're not my real father.

Let's not jump to any rash conclusions here.

He doesn't even look like me!

Sarah: I'm sorry.

During 1942 and '43

approximately 350 male concentration camp prisoners

were either plunged naked into vats of freezing water

or hosed down and left outdoors in sub zero weather.

To lower their body temperatures

to subnormal levels?

David: Yes, as their temperatures dropped,

physiological and biochemical changes were recorded.

When they were near death,

the Nazis tried various methods to rewarm them.

What was the so-called purpose for these "experiments?"

To find ways to save German pilots

who fell into the North Sea

when their planes were shot down.

As an expert on these experiments,

how would you say the Dachau study

measures up scientifically?

The report is riddled with inconsistencies

and very likely falsifications.

There is no evidence

that scientific standards were maintained.

And what about the man who ran these experiments?

Dr. Sigmund Rascher was a mediocre scientist.

But he was an accomplished sadist,

whose hobbies included collecting human skin

for riding britches.

Niel: Did Dr. Rascher conduct

any other experiments for the Nazis?

Objection. Relevance?

Goes to the competency of the researcher, Your Honor.

I'll allow it.

I hesitate to call what Rascher did experiments.

He-- he put people in pressure chambers

until his subjects lungs exploded.

He also slaughtered men and women

by amputating their limbs

to test a medication he claimed would reduce bleeding.

Dr. Howell, if a scientist came forward today with data

gathered using methods like Sigmund Rascher's,

what do you think would happen?

He'd be thrown in prison,

and his data recognized for the garbage it is.

Thank you.

Your witness.

You say this data is garbage, Dr. Howell?

David: Yes.

Then how do you explain the fact

that it's been cited in numerous

respected medical studies?

The authors obviously only took the results at face value.

They haven't done any real analysis.

But didn't the Dachau data help researchers develop techniques

for open heart surgery and cold water survival suits?

The degree to which that data helped

is highly debatable, counsel.

The majority of medical ethicists agree with me.

Medical ethicists agree.

And that's primarily your field, isn't it doctor?

Yes.

But physicians, and physiologists like Dr. Connor,

have found that data valuable

and utilized it in the past. Isn't that correct?

Every time we accept the unacceptable,

the unspeakable,

we bring it that much closer to happening again.

Doctor, we don't live in Nazi Germany.

Starting in 1932, the U.S. Public Health Service

studied 100s of black men with syphilis.

They never told them they had the disease

"Bad blood" is what they called it.

And even after the introduction of penicillin

they refused to cure them.

Those men died horrible deaths,

all for the sake of a study.

A study that didn't stop until 1972!

So don't tell me this kind of thing

can't happen here, counsel!

That's tragic, Dr. Howell,

but it is not what this case is about.

Dr. Connor is not an unethical researcher.

She is if she uses unethical data!

Or maybe she saw a way to bring some good out of the pain

and terror these prisoners suffered.

- Objection. Jonathan: Withdrawn.

I have nothing further.

Arnie, just the man I want to see!

Do you know anything about computer sex?

Sex between computers?

man: Two minutes to floor.

No, no. computer operators.

Electronic bulletin boards on sexual topics.

Like phone sex, but via modem.

And it's not all talk, either.

With a good printer, you can send photographs

or illustrations like these.

I guess it's the missionary position...

if you're a missionary from Mars.

[laughs]

Computer generated images.

Cybersex. [laughs] It's a natural, right?

Oh, absolutely. A natural.

For what?

Sweeps week.

Now what I need from you is the legal angle.

man: Thirty seconds to floor.

Julie: This could give us both a big boost.

It's incredibly hot,

our faces will be all over every promo

for the 6 o'clock news.

Think of the exposure.

Sounds great. Let's do it this afternoon.

Julie: I can't. I've got a remote at Griffith Park.

And I'm in the editing room all day tomorrow.

How about tomorrow night?

We can go to my place, order a pizza, go over everything.

Your place. Tomorrow. You've got it.

man: And four, three, two, one...

Dr. Connor, you're a specialist in hypothermia

and the study of blood flow to the brain, correct?

Yes, with the Rubin grant,

I hope to find ways to lessen the damage of heart disease

by cooling certain parts of the brain.

What good would that do?

During a heart attack or stroke,

the brain gets less oxygen and glucose.

Cooling the brain helps diminish it's need

for those things, and hopefully

extends the time for medical intervention.

And where does the Dachau hypothermia data fit in?

That data could pinpoint which areas

of the brain are most responsive to cooling.

It will also help determine how far

we can cool someone's brain before we do damage ourselves.

And that information isn't available elsewhere?

No, with all their flaws,

the Dachau hypothermia experiments

are the most extensive studies

of the human thermoregulatory system we have.

Jonathan: What about using animal studies?

They don't help.

All mammals respond differently to cold.

How do you feel about

what the Nazis did at Dachau, Dr. Connor?

As a human being,

I think it's horrendous.

As a medical researcher,

I have to balance it against the potential

the research has to save others.

Jonathan: Thank you, Dr. Connor.

No further questions.

Dr. Connor,

could you complete your project

without the Dachau hypothermia data?

Yes, but it would take longer.

Months longer.

And every 32 seconds in this country,

someone dies of cardiovascular disease.

Someone I might be able to save.

Wouldn't those extra months also benefit you

professionally, Dr. Connor?

By giving you a leg up

on the other researchers working in this field?

- Objection! Donald: Overruled.

My main concern is saving lives.

But you have no compelling evidence

your findings will do that, do you?

Emily: Of course, I can't guarantee it--

In fact, that's just speculation

on your part, isn't it?

- Technically, yes, but-- Neil: Thank you.

Doctor, you knew the Rubin Foundation

was established in memory of two Holocaust victims.

Why didn't you tell them you were planning

to use the Nazi data?

It never occurred to me.

The data's origins aren't important to my research.

Its origins weren't important to you.

Tell me, doctor, how many people

were exterminated in the Holocaust?

Objection, relevance, Your Honor?

Dr. Connor claims to have

"balanced" the data's Nazi origins

against the potential good it may provide.

I'm trying to find out how much she actually knows

about those origins.

I'll give you some leeway here, counsel, but keep it brief.

Thank you. Dr. Connor?

Six million people died in the Holocaust.

Sixteen million, doctor.

Six million were Jews.

- Do you know what Babi Yar is? - No.

It was the largest single act

of genocide of the war.

Thirty-four thousand Jews slaughtered.

- What about Kristallpacht? Emily: No.

Neil: Who conceived the Final Solution?

- Adolf Hitler. - Adolf Eichmann.

How can you have "balanced the good against the evil

when you clearly have no idea

of the enormity of that evil, doctor?

The history of Nazism wasn't my concern--

Sixteen million dead, that's not your concern?

I wasn't about to become a Holocaust scholar

just to do a physiology study, it wasn't relevant!

You research everything else, why not this?

Because you just didn't care?

Objection, argumentative!

Neil: Withdrawn.

I have nothing further.

Where the hell were you in there?

Oh, he has the right to question you.

Question me? He was haranguing me!

I didn't conduct those experiments, Jonathan!

I just want to study them!

Any more objections would have alienated the jury, Emily

and implied you didn't know the answers to his questions.

Well, obviously, I didn't.

- Did you? - No.

It took me four years

to get a grant for this project.

I am not unsympathetic to Mr. Rubin's feelings,

but I do not intend to go back to being a dog labber

just because some old man can't see

the forest for the trees!!

[instrumental music]

I called Dr. Findlestein.

I want the DNA test.

It'll only confirm what we already know, Stuart.

She is your daughter.

It's weird.

I-- I-- I was in that room, what, five minutes?

Most of which I spent telling myself she was a fraud,

and this feeling keeps coming up.

It's the same feeling I had that day we lost Kelsey.

[sighs] What was the mother like?

She was, she was nice.

Karen.

She was funny. She was smart.

Was she good in bed?

Ann, at that point in my life,

if I got a woman in bed, it was good.

Obviously, you didn't practice safe sex.

No, in 1974 "safe sex" meant not having sex

in a moving vehicle, okay?

Are you okay about this?

It's not the mother

or your relationship with her.

It's the idea

that there's this stranger out there

that has some kind of claim on you.

She doesn't have a claim on me.

She gave up whatever claim she had

when she walked out that door!

She gave it up but does that mean you can?

No.

No, I don't think I can.

[instrumental music]

One of the S.S. men brought me into the operating theater.

Next to the table there was a

a large glass tank filled with water.

There was ice on the water.

They asked me if I would like

to send a message to my family.

Since they were all dead, I declined.

What happened then, Dr. Schulan?

I was stripped naked.

Then they lifted me into the tank.

The... pain from the cold was indescribable.

After about 40 minutes, I passed out.

And when you woke up?

I was in a bed with two other naked prisoners,

put there to warm me with body heat.

It was one of several methods of rewarming

that the Nazis tested.

I was lucky. I was not thrown into boiling water.

Dr. Schulan, how do you feel about the data

from those experiments being used by Dr. Connor?

If it will save lives, it should be used--

- God forgive you! Jonathan: Objection!

If there is a God, may he let us both find peace.

There is no peace for those who betray the dead!

- Mr. Rubin, that's enough. - Kurt, sit down.

Jonathan: Sir, why do you think the data should be used?

Well, before I retired, I was a pediatric surgeon.

Like any doctor, I had patients die...

sometimes painfully.

But I used what I learned from their deaths

to help others.

If knowledge from Dachau

can help other human beings,

then the suffering of those who died there...

might begin to have some meaning.

Jonathan: I have nothing else.

Doctor... how did the Nazis monitor your body temperature?

They inserted a wire into my rectum

and another into my mouth.

Neil: Didn't the Nazis at one time consider

moving all experiments from Dachau?

Stanley: Yes, they did. - Why?

Well, because the screams...

from the men and women

were being experimented upon

it was so loud that they disturbed the families

of the officers who were stationed there.

Can you ever forgive the Nazis for what they did?

No. Never.

Can you really blame Mr. Rubin

for seeing Dr. Connor's project

as legitimizing what the Nazis did?

I appreciate his point of view.

But we, each of us, have to make our own decisions.

Thank you, doctor. No further questions.

[instrumental music]

- Karen? - Stuart?

Stuart Markowitz?

I thought you were dead.

[scoff]

Do I look that bad?

[chuckles] I'm sorry.

Mom, do you know where the car keys are?

Oh, God.

Mom was gonna take a second mortgage out on the house

in order to pay for college.

I couldn't let her do that.

She's made too many sacrifices for me.

One more and she's up for canonization.

[chuckles] Sarah.

So you hired some low-rent lawyer

who wouldn't ask too many questions

when you told him your mother was dead.

I didn't want to,

but I knew you'd never go for the idea.

Yeah.

You were right.

So that's why you came to see me? For the money?

I also wanted to meet you, I guess.

Mom told me your name,

she said you were a lawyer,

so I just checked with the State Bar.

I wanted to know my father.

And why did you back out?

I didn't know you had a son.

And...

Well it wasn't until I saw you

and your wife in the meeting,

that it actually hit me how much

I was disrupting your lives.

I just couldn't do it.

Wow, here's an interesting one.

A "Viennese oyster."

The woman puts her feet behind her head--

I know it.

I thought you might.

Julie, these people are incredible.

I mean, sharing these sexual fantasies

in bed is one thing,

but... doing it in public...

You know what my favorite fantasy is?

No, what?

I come home from the 11 o'clock night cast ...

I slip into a hot bath...

I feel the warm water swirl and flow

between my legs...

I lean back and close my eyes...

I feel the water from the faucet

caress my ankle like a kiss...

And when I open my eyes...

he's there.

Crouched by the tub,

kissing the calf of my leg...

and slowly, working his way up...

my eyes meet his...

Julie. I-- I--...

- I can't. I can't. I'm sorry. - Why not?

Listen, you're a beautiful woman

and if we'd met a year ago,

you might've been the greatest thing

that ever happened to me--

I still can be.

I live with someone

and I love her.

And I can't...

I won't hurt her.

God, that turns me on.

Julie, look. I gotta go.

[screams]

Arnie. What's wrong?

Oh. Oh. Oh, the pain.

It's like a knife.

What, did you hurt your back? Here, let me--

No, I'm fine. I-- I'm okay--

Arnie, I'm not gonna rape you. Here, sit down.

[screams]

Arnie, where is this pain?

In my, uh... left... testicle.

You know, I'm trying not to take this personally,

but it isn't easy.

Maybe it's just like a charley horse.

Maybe you just need to work it out.

No! Ah! Ah! No kidding.

Julie, I-- I'm in real pain here.

Well, we better get you to a hospital.

Can you... walk?

Yeah, I'm... I'm fine, as long as it,

as long as it doesn't touch the inside of my thigh.

Ah! Ah!

Could you give my coat?

- Come on. - Who says romance is dead?

[sighs]

How are you feeling?

It hurts even with it touching the table.

Why don't you bend your knees?

That way... you're not making contact.

Ah!

- Arnie? - Rox.

Roxanne: I called the studio.

They said you were at her house and you had an accident.

What the hell are you doing?

I'm just trying to make him more comfortable.

- I'll bet. Arnie: Rox.

They don't know how this happened.

It might be a hernia...

I-- I-- I may have sprained a muscle in my... groin.

You know, I'm probably not needed here any more.

You're gonna be fine, Arnie.

Roxanne'll take care of you.

Well, this is a new one, even for you.

Rox, I swear nothing happened. We were just working.

At her house?

Mr. Becker, I'm Dr. Stewart.

I'm a urologist.

- Rox, don't leave! - Are you kidding?

I'm thinking of selling tickets.

Okay, now I'm going to have to palpate the area.

Just... relax.

Stewart: Does this hurt? - No.

How about this?

[screams]

Ahh! Oh! Yeah.

Mr. Becker, you have a torsion.

A man's testicles are suspended inside his scrotal sac

by the spermatic cords.

These cords can sometimes become twisted.

How did it happen?

Any number of ways. A sharp, sudden movement...

slipping on a wet surface...

Don't worry though, it's easily correctable.

We just go inside and rotate the testis

until the cord is untwisted.

You have to cut them open?

Yes, but it's only minor surgery.

We give you a spinal block to numb it

and then we go in.

But I do have to warn you when the cord twisted,

it can cut off the flow of blood.

We could open it up to discover

the testicle has turned gangrenous.

Gangrene?

In that case, of course, we'd have to remove it.

Oh!

Auschwitz... Dachau...

Bergen-Belsen ... Treblinka.

Sixteen million human lives.

That's the entire population of New York

and Los Angeles combined.

Imagine this city empty...

Every human being who lives here dead

in the gas chambers.

It's too much for us to take in.

We can't help abstracting it.

But that is the one thing we cannot do.

If someone like Sigmund Rasher

proposed doing his hideous experiments today,

society would never permit it.

So why is it alright to use it

after the atrocities have been committed?

What kind of deterrence

does that pose to unethical researchers?

Dr. Connor signed a contract

that requires the use of ethical medical standards.

Now by using the Dachau experiments in her work,

she has violated those standards,

especially since she is unable to show

that the Dachau data is of any compelling value.

First we ignore the lessons of history...

then we forget...

then we repeat them.

Tell those who would draw comfort from this...

we shall never forget.

Dr. Emily Connor is not a Nazi.

She abhors, as all of us do,

the methods by which this data was gained.

The data is there,

and there are many respected scientists who find it valid.

For her to ignore it is to ignore the pain and suffering

which she might be able to alleviate.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the one thing

she cannot do.

Dr. Stanley Schulan,

a survivor of the hypothermia experiments,

believes she should be allowed to try.

Mr. Rubin is a good man

with a tragic history.

His concern is understandable.

Respect what he has to say. It's important.

But give the situation the perspective he can't.

Let Dr. Connor honor the dead

by honoring the living.

Don't stand between her and the lives

she might be able to save.

[laughs]

What?

"To Arnold who brings new meaning to the phrase

'Hoist on his own petard.'"

Well, at least the family jewels are as good as new.

Better.

The doctor told me he tacked them down,

while he was in there.

"Tacked them down?"

You know, sutured them to the inside of the scrotum.

So they wouldn't get twisted up again.

Rox, about Julie...

I swear nothing happened.

Only because you sprained your testicle.

No, no, even before that.

I admit I thought about it, okay?

But when push came to shove--

So to speak--

It was weird, Rox, for the first time in my life

there was this...

I don't know...

there was this, like, circuit breaker inside of me,

and it just tripped...

and I said no.

I couldn't believe it myself, but I know

how hard it is for you to believe, but I swear...

it's true.

Okay, nothing happened.

You don't sound like you mean it.

Don't push it, Arnie.

I'm doing the best that I can.

Rubin: If I had hired you, Mr. Rollins,

could you have argued my case as convincingly?

I thought your side was very convincing.

The jury may, too.

I don't expect them to.

Even Mr. Robertson thought we had a tough case.

Then why wouldn't you even discuss a settlement?

How do you make a settlement with evil, Mr. Rollins?

Each time you refuse to look it in the face

and say 'No more,'

it creeps a little closer.

Do I have to tell this to you, with your people's history?

No.

When my father was told that he could

no longer teach at the University,

he stayed home and tutored.

When the students stopped coming,

he found work running errands.

When the Nazis came for our neighbors,

he comforted us by saying that sanity must return,

if we could just wait it out.

And when the Nazis finally ordered my father to choose

the next men to die at Auschwitz,

I believe he understood at last and he killed himself.

I'm sorry.

I didn't come here just to win, Mr. Rollins.

I came to...

bring a warning.

Do you think anybody heard me?

Yeah. I do.

The jury is in.

Donald: Has the jury reached a verdict?

Yes, we have, Your Honor.

In the matter of The Simon and Katherine Rubin Foundation

versus University of California and Emily Connor,

we find for the defendant.

Oh, thank God.

Donald: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

thank you for your service.

This court is adjourned.

So, what's the latest?

Well, I...

I think I finally talked her into letting me send Sarah

to college for one year.

And... if that goes well, we go on from there.

Unless you have a problem with it.

No, no, it's the right thing to do.

It's just hard to believe that this Karen

wouldn't have come to you for help before.

Well, it's not hard to believe if you know her.

I mean, this is a woman who started

her own catering business,

it goes belly-up in the recession,

and she refuses to go Chapter 11.

She's going to pay off each and every creditor.

That's the way she is.

It's admirable.

Not terribly realistic.

No, it's not.

So, I told her, look, if you're determined

to go about it this way, at least let me help you set up

a more structured schedule. So she's gonna...

she's gonna... let me do that.

That's very nice of you.

I have to do somethin' here, honey.

Absolutely. I understand.

She sounds like a very interesting person.

You wanna have 'em to dinner?

Why don't we have her and Sarah to dinner next week?

I-- I I think it might be a little soon.

She's still getting used to the idea of accepting

help from me, I-- I...

I don't want to push it.

Maybe down the line.

Okay. Fine.

[sighs] It's just hard to get used to the idea

that you have this entire family out there

that I'm not a part of.

Honey...

Oh, that could be Ned. He was gonna call.

Hello?

Oh, hi, Karen. How ya doin'?

No, it's no problem. No problem at all.

Yeah, I'm gonna take care of it tomorrow.

Yeah, Claremont does have more

individualized instruction, but I don't think

we should discount Stanford, you know.

No, it's not that much more.

Hey, let me worry about the money, okay?

Okay.
