The Doctor begins to feel some sympathy toward The Patient, who was out on his own at
an early age. The Patient replies that some of the jobs he took "weren't fit for a white man." The Patient offers a sarcastic apology in a patronizing way. The Doctor angrily tells him he is
here to help the him. He tells The Patient if he doesn't want his help, he can leave, those are the rules. The Patient only responds with a blank stare.

The Doctor goes to The Chief Medical Officer and tells him he wants off this case as he feels
unable to be objective. He says he has worked with men who are sadistic killers who were
more human than The Patient. The Chief Medical Officer offers some understanding
and tells him that these are just symptoms of The Patient and for The Doctor not to take it so
personally. The Chief Medical Officer also tells him he has great faith in him and feels
he has done and will continue to do a great job. The Doctor has justified his expectations
and surpassed them. He asks The Doctor not to let him down.
"'Just because you're a Negro' is what he didn't say ..." The Doctor thought to himself.
