“It’s like these men are being held in a bubble as science marches forward.” Mike tells Sarah how one of history&aposs most unethical experiments came crashing down. Digressions include the history of penicillin, the power of TV movies and the mysterious diagnosis of "Satan&aposs crabs." This episode is happier than the last one, but still contains a lot of racist language and some grisly Nazi examples toward the beginning.
