"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

and integrity.

Dr. Perrault,
how do you feel?

I'm feeling well.

Hello.

Any takers?

These are
the last copies.

Publisher's going
out of business.

Yeah, pretty soon,

everything's
gonna be digital.

I had a guy stop by,

couldn't have been
more than 30.

He asks me
what the book is about.

I'd say the title
pretty much covers it.

I say,
"The tainted blood tragedy."

He says, "Yeah,
I've heard of that,"

like he has
some vague notion.

Margaret's been talking
about petitioning

to have a unit included

in the high school
curriculum.

The guy sold blood products.

The problem is that no one
was ever held accountable.

The Red Cross
was condemned

by a federal inquiry.

And then the judge
in the criminal trial

said they were saints.

Look at these people.

Try to find one
not looking at a phone.

Times change.

Tainted blood
probably wouldn't have happened

if we'd had the Internet
back then.

All I know is that
insincere public apologies

aren't enough
for what they did.

The entire blood
system was overhauled.

Look at
the Wall Street crisis.

How many lives were ruined?

None of those assholes
went to jail.

As long as they know
they can get away with it,

people in high places
will always find a way

to screw over the little guy.

The Red Cross, the BoB,
the provincial ministers,

all those people
infected my son.

And yours too,

thousands
along with them,

and they all
got to walk away scot-free.

Don't forget that.

Hey!

Do you mind
keeping it down?

Um...

I read that, uh...

Perrault is suing his
malpractice insurance company.

They're refusing
to pay his defense costs.

More than
three million dollars.

He deserves worse.

Are we supposed to
just stand by

and let corruption win?

What's the point of laws

if they don't apply
to everyone, hmm?

What kind of world are we
willing to accept, Will? Huh?

One where corporations
and bureaucrats

line their pockets

at the expense of innocent
children's lives?

Most people are too busy
taking pictures of themselves

to even really know
what's going on,

let alone do what's right.

Look, dude!

Everyone's got their own
problems, all right?

No one else here
gives a shit what you think.

Hey, s--
Hey...

What do you
give a shit about?

Seriously,

what do you give
a shit about?

Just go back
to your table.

No, no--
Hey! Hey!

-Fuck you!
-No, man!

Hey, come on,
come on,

it's okay, it's okay,
Hey, it's okay.

It's all right.
You're okay.

Asshole.

He deserved it.

Look at everything
we've accomplished.

We have safe
blood product now.

Billions of dollars
in compensation.

Drug practices
are more effective.

I just can't help
but wonder what Jim would do

if he were still here.

Would he rest knowing

that Roger Perrault goes on
living his privileged life?

The things Jim said were meant
to provoke us to take action,

to do our jobs better,
to work harder.

I don't know.

The man had courage.

And nothing to lose.

You know, maybe...

Maybe punishing someone
like Perrault,

maybe that'll make you
feel better.

I don't know.

But...

if you're not changing things
for the better,

aren't you just
destroying yourself?

And then he wins.

Again.

What are you looking at?

I know the person
who designed that building.

It's ugly.

You think so, huh?

Yeah.

You could have done
much better.

You have a good job.

With my teaching position,
we cover our expenses.

Our kids have
everything they need.

I know I'm just feeling
sorry for myself.

You're allowed.

That position should
have been yours.

But there will be
other opportunities.

I'm stuck in this rut

of working on
other people's stuff.

At a certain point,

you kind of get known
as that guy.

Perennial number two.

So quit.

Find another firm

that will
give you a shot.

Or go out on your own.

It's not that simple.

Why not?

I feel like I need to provide
what I can now.

It's not like I can
get life insurance.

That's only a problem
if you die,

so just don't do that.

I could also just get sick
for a really long time

and burn through
all our savings.

I don't want you to feel like
your dreams have been sidelined.

We'll survive.

I'd live in a shack
with you.

It may come to that.

As long as
we're together.

Mom!

I got it.

Mom...

I don't if I've
properly expressed

how much I appreciate
everything you do

for the B.C. chapter.

Oh, I'm supposed
to be thanking you.

I know it sounds
terrible, but, uh...

giving money is easy for me.

You're putting in the time
and hard work.

And you're one of the biggest
donors to the society.

How's your son doing?

He's okay.

I still can't believe
that I'm a grandmother.

Yeah, well, you certainly
don't look like one,

that's for sure.

Considering how many
co-infected guys

haven't made it,

we have to be thankful
that Peter's still around.

Yeah, no kidding.

Finding out I had HIV
was devastating.

I can't imagine what it would
have been like at 15.

I'm sorry if this is
too personal, but...

I read that you almost died
a couple years ago?

My liver was destroyed
by the Hep C.

Canada doesn't
allow transplants

for HIV positives.

How many have to die?

We're lobbying hard
to change that.

Well, fortunately,

I was able
to go elsewhere.

And the amazing thing is

with a new liver,
my hemophilia has been cured.

Of course.

Because Factor 8
is produced by the liver.

I still have HIV,

but that seems to be
under control for now.

Touch wood.

Well, thank goodness.

I want you
to know that

if there is ever
anything you need...

Oh, you've done
so much already--

I'm not talking about
the hemophilia society.

I'm saying you, personally.

Darby...

What the hell's this
doing in here?

Andrew was asking
about his grandpa.

The picture on the back

is the only one
we have of your father

in this whole house.

Why don't you read it?

There's only so many ways
to say it's not what you think.

I don't care.

I know you're embarrassed
about how you behaved

when you were younger.

Darby...

The way the two of you
still don't speak,

it's just wrong.

Did you do this?

I'm calling the police.

Go ahead.

I don't care
what the judge said

or what the law says.

I know the truth.

And maybe there were a lot
of other people at fault,

but you were in a position
to make a difference.

Now, you can tell yourself
that you did all you could,

and you can hide behind
your science

and all the bureaucratic
bullshit.

But I know.

I know that you could have
saved lives.

Innocent children's lives.

And you didn't.

You don't know
how lucky you are.

You got to write
your book.

We could have sued you,
but we didn't.

We would have won.

The Krever report
was full of inaccuracies.

That was not due process.

He was influenced by misguided
and ill-informed victims.

The RCMP were pressured into
bringing unfounded charges

by an irresponsible
and sympathetic media.

I know what I did!

I did my job,

and I did it well!

For decades,

I have been hounded
as a scapegoat

for a problem too complex
for most people to understand.

The only thing I'm guilty of
is not being clairvoyant.

Judge Benetto told the world
what really happened.

You think you know
the truth?

You don't know anything.

This is all too much.

You're the best.
Thank you.

Oh, darlin'.

I don't think I've ever
properly thanked you.

Oh, it's not something
you need to thank me for.

I was doing my job.

I might not be here today
if not for you.

Your wonderful parents
deserve the credit for that.

Please.

Just know how much
I appreciate

everything you did.

You okay?

I don't know why I'm here.

Well, Ann's
retiring, so...

My memory's going,
but it's not that bad yet.

Ah, sometimes
I think mine is.

Sometimes?

Whoa,
easy, now.

Hey, never mind.

I get it.

Why you?

Forget it, all right?
Today is not about me.

You're here.

That's all that matters.

And more
importantly,

you've done
something with it.

Something pretty, uh...
pretty special.

Are you seriously crying?

He's such a sucker
for this sort of thing.

Dad!

Look at my report card!

Dad, are you okay?

Yeah, buddy, I'm fine.

Your ALTs are over 500.

That explains
why I feel this way.

We're seeing situations

where Hep C suddenly
becomes acute

without warning.

You really don't understand
this thing at all, do you?

What I know is we
have to deal with it.

Your latest liver scan

is out of normal range,

indicating
fibrosis is occurring.

Liver damage.

If it continues,

it will progress
to cirrhosis.

Look, the Interferon-
Ribavirin combo

didn't work.

I'm not going
back on that.

There are a couple of
different cocktail therapies

being used in Europe
with much higher success.

"Cocktail" sure makes it
sound like fun, doesn't it?

I suppose it's the wrong word
for someone with liver disease.

There are much fewer
side effects,

and you only have to
take them for three months.

But the big problem is,
they're new drugs,

and even though Health Canada
has decided to license it,

B.C. provincial pharmacare

hasn't decided
it's going to cover them yet.

It has to go through
their review process.

Six to 12 months.

And it won't be
retroactive

if they decide
to eventually cover it.

The bottom line
is that I can't wait.

How much does it cost?

$110,000.

Oh, my god.

I've been on the phone
for the last week,

back and forth between
the drug companies

and my private insurance.

They all say
they want to help,

but only as long as
the other kicks in first.

What about
the class action suit?

That's supposed to cover
the prescription drugs

not covered by
provincial health care.

They're saying they're
going to wait and see

if Ontario
pays for it first.

Right.

And no one is saying
they'll pay retroactively.

Yeah, Dr. Bradley is
recommending three drugs,

each from a different company.

It's a mess.

Well, we'll help.

Whatever's necessary.

We'll take out a second
mortgage if we have to.

Of course
I appreciate that,

but you shouldn't have to.

I mean, that's what
the class action was for, right?

I expect
they didn't foresee

the cost of treatment
being so high.

It'll cost them more
if I die.

Well, what about
all the other people

who don't have
parents like you?

Dad never quit trying to get
safer blood products.

That wasn't just for me.

And I'm not done yet either.

What are you going to do?

Good job, Andy!

Hustle, hustle!

Jesus, Mom.

I can't take this.

It-it's not from me.

There's a man,

one of the biggest donors
to the society.

I met him through
fund-raising.

He's a hemophiliac.

Co-infected like you.

Very, very rich.

So not really like me.

You're not the only one
he's doing this for.

It's not a gift.

It's an interest-free loan.

How am I supposed
to pay it back?

First things first.

You take the medicine
and you get better.

The HIV,

combined with the extent
my liver is already damaged,

greatly reduces
the odds of success.

It's funny,

all these years,

I've been talking about
how I was about to die.

Now that it might
actually happen...

I'm having a hard time
believing it.

Maybe it's because
you have something to live for.

Excuse me, Mr. Kaufman?

I'm Ryan Sanders.

I've been
leaving you messages.

This is harassment.

You need to approve

the newest
treatments for Hep C

under the class action
drug plan.

I'm not a doctor.

That's a medical
review board decision.

Just think about what
you're saying for one second.

The money in the
class action fund

is compensation for people
who were victimized

when politicians and bureaucrats
passed the buck

and hid behind medical

and scientific opinions
that suited them.

My doctor says
that these new drugs

are what I need to live.

There are protocols--

Things change fast!

And you have to
at least try

to adapt at the same speed,

or people will die.

Look, bottom line,

if you don't get with
the program right now,

I'm going to sue you

and all the other
board members

for failure
to administer the funds

as intended.

You're going to sue
a class-action lawsuit?

I'm going to sue
the human beings

who are failing
to do what's right.

Thank you. That's great.

Thank you so much.

That was a woman from
the Hep C class action suit.

They've reversed
their position.

They're going to pay
for the drugs.

That's amazing.

I know.

What made them
change their mind?

I don't know.

She wouldn't say.

But this means

I can pay back
that rich guy

that gave Mom
all that money.

Yeah.

What?

No, nothing.

Emma?

Okay, I know
you're going to be upset

because Mom lied.

Um...

Just please don't
hate her for this?

She will kill me
if you hate her.

What are you talking about?

The money didn't come
from some rich guy.

It came from her...

and Dad.

I'm sorry,
it's just,

you have to know
the truth.

Dad sold the house.

Mom lied because

she thought you wouldn't
take it if you knew.

Do you understand?

We love you.

All of us.

Please say
something.

She shouldn't
have told him.

We shouldn't have lied.

Again.

What did he say?

She said that
he wasn't angry.

Just disappointed.

You did
the right thing.

The house is...

was... half yours.

This money
came from us both.

Probably time
we sold this place anyway.

I remember
the day he was born.

and I remember thinking,

"I just hope
he has a good life.

I just hope..."

I finally came to a place

where I understood
how he felt.

Not just
the hopelessness, but...

the fact that it seemed like

nothing was ever going
to make me feel better.

I still feel the anger.

I don't think that's ever
going to go away.

But it's different now.

It wasn't your fault.

I wasn't just looking
for someone else to blame.

Somebody had to try
and make the system work,

get some justice.

Guess I failed at that, too.

You can't keep
beating yourself up

about this forever.

I'm the one who gave him
the hemophilia

in the first place.

No one ever
blamed you for that.

We all handled it badly.

I know it's over,

but I just want to say
that I love you.

Peter needs
to hear from you.

You've both
hurt each other.

I know it's hard
after all these years,

but someone needs to take
the first step.

You okay?

It's an odd feeling.

How many times have we
gone in for test results?

A million?

And every time,
I expected the worst.

And things
have been okay.

Look, I know you still
don't feel well,

but they said that
it might take a while

for the drugs
to clear your system.

You're not going to
bounce back right way.

Or more likely,

I'm feeling this way
because they didn't work.

No matter what,
we'll get through it.

There's nothing to be gained
from sitting here worrying.

Come on.

Let's go.

Undetectable?

That's... good, right?

It's very good.

Oh, my god...

Oh!

Okay.

Thank you!

Okay.

Okay. Sorry.

-All right.
-I just...

We use the term "undetectable"

because the virus isn't
turning up on the test.

Covering your ass
legally.

You could say that.

There's a small
margin of error,

but at this point,
six months after treatment,

I feel pretty comfortable
calling you cured.

Holy fuck!

I'm sorry.

Why don't you
look happy?

I am happy.

Believe me.

Yeah...

I should call my parents.

It's undetectable?

It...

It's undetectable.

Hello?

You still there?

Yeah, we're still here,
we're still here.

I'll tell the kids.

It seems like every day

we are bombarded by new
and impending disaster.

Terrorist attacks,

mass shootings,

disease, drought, famine,

melting ice caps,

weapons of mass destruction.

It can be overwhelming.

Thousands of people died
in this country

because of tainted blood.

Tens of thousands more
were infected.

People ask me

if the blood system in Canada
is safe today.

I believe it is more safe
than it once was,

but... but it's not enough.

In no way is that a constant
that we can rely on.

We depend on
too many flawed systems,

often because the time and work
and cost to fix them

is too daunting,

because even the best systems
rely on humans

to consistently
do the right thing.

I looked at those that
I believed were responsible

and saw no remorse,

no admission of guilt.

I desperately tried
to effect change,

but watched the legal system,

which should have exacted
some justice,

fail miserably.

In many cases,
people gave their lives

to get us where we are today,

so we can say "Never forget,"

but really,

what are we
supposed to remember?

For me, there are many things
burned into my mind...

the look on my son's face

when he found out
that his best friend,

also a hemophiliac,

died from AIDS.

I remember the anger Peter felt

because we lied to him
about his first T-cell test.

I remember brazenly lying
to my daughter,

to our family and friends,

in some cases to protect them,

but also...

to protect ourselves

from the reaction,

from the ignorance

and the prejudice.

I remember the shock,

the betrayal I felt

at learning that
Peter's infection

could have been prevented,

and I watched his emotions spin

from sickening fear
to helplessness.

I remember the hurt
in my daughter's eyes

when we finally
told her the truth,

and I watched my wife
suffer through decades

of the greatest fear
a parent can know.

But most of all,
I remember my son, Peter,

wrestling with his mortality
from the age of 15,

and somehow,

maybe even miraculously,

managing to survive.

He overcame anger and despair

enough to find love.

Enough to have a child.

He gives everything he can
to his son.

What greater sign of hope
could there be?

Why else are we here?

Not all tragedies
can be prevented,

but as long as
we're still kicking,

it's not too late.

We can make things better.

Thank you for letting me
share my story.

Dad...

What are you doing here?

I, uh...

I got my results.

I heard that was...

I was going to call you.

How did it go?

Undetectable.

At least, that's what they say.

The Hep C virus
doesn't show up on the test.

My T-cells are back up
a little bit, too,

responding to the meds.

That's great.

That is really great.

I can't believe
I'm actually saying this.

I'm very happy for you, Peter.

Listen...

Mom's throwing a party.

Actually, right now.

It's just
a couple people.

Do you wanna...

Do you want to come?

Meet your grandson?

I know he'd really love that.

I'd love to.

What are you
smiling about?

Well, the truth is,

we didn't rent
the boat for the day.

The ownership papers.

It's yours.

No...

No, we
can't-- no.

I just landed
my first big client.

He's gonna design
a 30-storey tower.

I'm gonna help.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

We still can't
take the boat.

We-we can discuss it.

Oh, come on.

There's nothing
to discuss.

I'll never be able
to thank you guys enough

for what you've done for me.

No different than
what you'd do for your kids.

Can we
go sailing now?

You bet.

Let's
go sailing.

Okay.

I hope you know
what you're doing,

because...
we have no clue.

Oh dear.
