RICK FERRIS:
With the onset of HIV, however, we at
Barrow Wilkem began a trial in which we
administered AZT to infected lab animals.
Initial findings suggested increased CD4
counts, restored T-cell immunity and also
evidence of inducing weight gain.
SEVARD:
Isn't it also true that it had some
concerning side effects in animal tests,
significantly decreasing the animals red
RICK FERRIS:
Yes, but its effect on the virus is
better than anything else that's been
tested.
EVE:
(looking into her file)
In 64, when AZT was developed for cancer
treatment, it was shelved due to lack of
anti cancer efficacy and toxicity.

RICK FERRIS:
We believe those problems were dosage
based.
EVE:
So you're conducting another animal
study?
RICK FERRIS:
Actually the FDA has given us permission
to go straight to human trials which is
what brings me here today. We're
conducting a double-blind, placebo-
controlled randomized trial throughout
the United States. Dallas Mercy is one
of the proposed sites.
EVE:
How long do you see the study going on?
RICK FERRIS:
We're hoping to fast track it within a
year? During which time the hospital and
its administering physicians will be very
well compensated for their efforts.
Eve notices as Sevard trades looks with Board Member #1.
RICK FERRIS:
Sadly, the AIDS crisis will only get
worse before it gets better. And I
know I speak for everyone at Barrow
Wilkem when I say getting this drug to
market is our number one priority. This
is a unique opportunity. A chance to be
on the forefront in finding a cure.
Eve looks at Ferris and smiles.
12 INT. DALLAS MERCY HOSPITAL - HALLWAY - DAY 12
Dr. Sevard walks down the hallway with Eve.
EVE:
Does it not drive you just a little bit
crazy when these guys stand up there
talking about curing the sick while
they're flashing gold Rolexes? What do
they know about sick patients?
DR. SEVARD
They're pharma reps, not doctors. And
like it or not, this is a business.

DR. SEVARD
How the hell did they get permission to
go to human trials?
DR. SEVARD
People are desperate. People are dying.
There is nothing else out there.
And with that, a NURSE approaches them with a file, surgical
mask and latex gloves.

13 INT. DALLAS MERCY HOSPITAL - ROOM - DAY 13
Ron, head and eyes bandaged, lays on a bed. After a few
beats, he peels off the eye bandages, gets up. He opens a
cabinet, then a drawer. Finds a bag of sucking CANDY, pops a
piece in his mouth, puts some in his pocket. He sees his
jacket on the back of the door, searches his pockets for a
