Most lawyers tell her the case is unwinnable.

Grace spends two years searching for representation.

Two years while the radium continues to eat away at her bones.

Finally, in 1927, she finds a young Newark attorney named Raymond Berry who agrees to take the case.

Four other women join Grace as plaintiffs.

Edna Hussman, Catherine Shobe, and two of Molly's sisters, Quinta McDonald and Albina Larisse.

Together, the five women sue USRC for $250,000 each in damages, over $4.5 million in 2026 money.

Here's the thing about those sisters, Quinta, Albina, and Molly.

They had all worked at USRC.

Molly is already dead, and you remember what her death certificate said, syphilis.

Barry knows that if they can prove that's a lie, they can prove the whole coverup.

So he convinces the Maggia family to let him exhume Molly's body.

It's not an easy ask.

Dig up your sister's grave, but Quinta and Albina agree.

They want to clear Molly's name and they want justice.

October 15th, 1927, a gray fall day, five years after Molly's death.

A small crowd gathers at Rosedale Cemetery in Orange, New Jersey.

There's doctors, lawyers, company representatives, reporters.

When they pull up the coffin, it's waterlogged and falling apart.

They run ropes and chains underneath it.
