Carter Roy

And that should be the end of it.

Roeder has won.

He's silenced Harvard.

He's got a forged report on file with the government.

The perfect cover-up.

Except there's one person Rotor didn't account for.

Her name is Alice Hamilton, a colleague of the drinkers and a pioneering expert on industrial diseases.

Through her contacts at the National Consumers League, Hamilton learns that USRC has submitted the drinker's report to the government, but the version they submitted shows the factory is safe.

Hamilton tells the drinkers what she's found, and Cecil Drinker realizes he's been used.

His name is on a lie.

A lie that's helping kill people.

Cecil no longer cares about losing funding.

He cares about saving people.

So he ignores USRC's legal threats and publishes his original report in August, 1925.

So now the truth is out there, published in a medical journal.

Anyone can see what the drinkers discovered at the factory.

But here's the problem.

A medical journal only goes so far.

It's not a government order.

USRC can just ignore it, hire their own experts to dispute it, call it one scientist's opinion.
