:19:00
And they showed me the magazine.
:19:02
They were embarrassed
to show it to me

:19:04
because of what
the pictures were.

:19:07
And you know, I didn't see it.
:19:09
My eyes were in
the right direction,

:19:13
but my brain saw nothing.
:19:17
Because when it was all over,
:19:20
the lawyer showed me
the magazine, and then I saw it.

:19:25
For the first time,
I really saw it.

:19:28
I couldn't
believe what I saw.

:19:35
I mean, I had no concept
that this

:19:38
thing even exists
in the world,

:19:40
that this magazine would
even be in the world.

:19:44
I mean, we had
a middle-class home, educated.

:19:48
I had a good family, right?
:19:51
Where did this come from?
:19:55
Mr. And Mrs. Friedman's house
:19:57
on this most beautiful
Thanksgiving dinner.

:20:01
For my daughter,
for my son-in-law,

:20:03
and for my 3 grandsons.
:20:06
I'm thankful that both my
brothers are home, and

:20:11
I'm most thankful
:20:16
to my husband, to Arnie.
:20:22
Anything you want
to say, Mr. Friedman?

:20:25
Are you guilty?
:20:26
Did you do all they say you did?
:20:29
No comment.
:20:30
I was the first to visit
my brother in prison.

:20:35
And that was a moment in
my life I'll never forget.

:20:41
He came into the room.
:20:42
I was sitting at this
table, a lot of tables,

:20:44
and they were crowded.
:20:45
Just awful surroundings.
:20:46
And he didn't have
his glasses on.

:20:48
Without his glasses,
he was blind as a bat.

:20:50
They'd taken them off and
broken them, stepped on them.

:20:54
He had a smell of urine.
:20:55
They were throwing urine at him.
:20:56
They were threatening to
throw him down the stairs.

:20:58
They knew what
he was in there for.
