{1354}{1458}Um...you have no|actual medical training?
{1464}{1573}No. I have kids.|Learned a lot right there.
{1579}{1692}I've seen nurses give my son|throat cultures, and what is it?
{1697}{1772}You stick a giant Q-tip|down their throat and wait.
{1778}{1887}Urinalysis: You take that dipstick|to see if the white count's high.
{1892}{1928}-Yes, I understand.|-Yeah.
{1938}{1972}I'm great with people.
{1977}{2072}You'd have to observe me|to know for sure. Trust me on that.
{2097}{2167}I'm a fast learner.|Show me in a lab once...
{2172}{2222}...and l've got it down.
{2263}{2332}I always wanted to go|to medical school.
{2337}{2408}That was my first interest.|Then I got married...
{2414}{2476}...and had a kid too young|and blew that.
{2487}{2542}Out of high school, I got a job...
{2547}{2612}...with Fleuer Engineers in lrvine.
{2618}{2691}I fell madly in love with geology.
{2727}{2762}-Geology?|-Yeah.
{2768}{2817}I learned how to read maps.
{2831}{2892}Yeah. But I lost my job because...
{2897}{2968}...my boy got chickenpox,|1 04 temperature.
{2974}{3048}My ex-husband was useless, so....
{3054}{3097}That didn't really work out.
{3253}{3312}You got a really nice office.
{3367}{3397}Thanks.
{3528}{3548}Look....
{4296}{4342}Oh, fuck!
{4537}{4602}Goddamn it!
{5549}{5582}Good morning, Mr. Masry.
{5587}{5633}-Morning, Rosalind.|-How are you?
{5639}{5722}-I'm fine. And you?|-Very well. Thank you for asking.
{5789}{5822}Good morning.
{5891}{5957}How you doing?|Donald.
{5962}{6002}Did you see it last night?
{6007}{6058}I taped it.|Don't tell me what happens.
{6064}{6095}It was so good.
{6101}{6152}Your nine o'clock's here already.
{6369}{6423}-Remind me.|-Erin Brockovich.
{6429}{6502}Car accident.|Not her fault, she says.
{6521}{6562}She was referred.
{6726}{6768}-Erin, hi.|-Hi.
{6774}{6842}Ed Masry. Sorry you had to wait.
{6864}{6889}That's okay.
{6899}{6967}Here, sit. Sit down.
{7167}{7202}Thank you.
{7287}{7358}I never thought standing|could take it out of you.
{7364}{7412}Ever since that shithead hit me...
{7418}{7470}...it's like my body's|put together wrong.
{7476}{7505}You poor thing.
{7552}{7605}Did anyone ask if you wanted coffee?
{7611}{7675}-Yeah. I'm fine.|-Good.
{7696}{7787}Listen, whoever did this to you|made one hell of a mistake.
{7793}{7892}And you and me, we're gonna|make him pay for it.
{7951}{7984}So, uh...
{7990}{8042}...why don't you|tell me what happened?
{8049}{8152}I was pulling out real slow,|and out of nowhere...
{8158}{8258}...his Jaguar comes racing around|the corner like a bat out of hell.
{8264}{8362}They took some bone from my hip|and put it in my neck.
{8368}{8423}I don't have insurance...
{8428}{8517}...so l'm about $1 7,000|in debt right now.
{8522}{8633}I couldn't take painkillers. They made|me too groggy to take care of my kids.
{8639}{8722}Matthew's 8,|and Katie's almost 6.
{8727}{8782}And Beth's just 9 months.
{8788}{8837}I just wanna be a good mom...
{8842}{8917}...a nice person, a decent citizen.
{8923}{8986}I just wanna take good care|of my kids.
{8999}{9082}Yeah. Yeah, I know.
{9131}{9197}Seventeen thousand in debt?
{9243}{9271}Your ex-husband helping?
{9285}{9306}Which one?
{9364}{9391}There's more than one?
{9419}{9468}Yeah, there's two. Why?
{9614}{9686}You must have been feeling|desperate that afternoon.
{9701}{9726}What's your point?
{9732}{9790}Broke, three kids, no job.
{9798}{9870}-Doctor in a Jaguar is a meal ticket--|-Objection.
{9876}{9912}-Sustained.|-He hit me!
{9918}{9939}So you say.
{9944}{10012}He came tearing around the corner,|out of control.
{10018}{10138}An ER doctor, who spends his days|saving lives, was out of control?
{10144}{10231}That asshole smashed in|my fucking neck!
{10312}{10347}Open and fucking shut?!
{10353}{10427}-Exactly the language--|-It was over before that!
{10432}{10472}I told you he might get personal.
{10477}{10525}-You said I was set.|-I never said that.
{10531}{10588}You told me I had a good shot!
{10594}{10683}-Let's settle down.|-Fuck "settle down" ! l've got $74.
{10689}{10776}-I can't afford to settle down!|-I'm sorry, Erin.
{10814}{10927}Do they teach lawyers to apologize?|Because you suck at it.
{11739}{11772}Hello?
{11784}{11825}-Hi.|-Hi, Erin.
{11831}{11887}You're back so soon.
{11904}{11955}Were you a good girl?
{11961}{12047}You're my little baby.|What is that? A little cough?
{12052}{12079}She's got a cough.
{12087}{12169}I sat in the steam with her|to try to loosen it up.
{12175}{12242}-I think l've got cough medicine.|-Bueno.
{12277}{12302}Listen.
{12307}{12353}I didn't wanna tell you before.
{12363}{12408}-With your worries.|-What?
{12421}{12499}My daughter bought a big house|with a room for me.
{12508}{12543}I'm moving in with her.
{12549}{12583}-When?|-Next week.
{12589}{12674}-Next week?|-I know. But it's good for me.
{12680}{12743}Now I can help|take care of my grandkids.
{12749}{12775}It's good for you.
{12781}{12848}Now with money, you can hire|a good babysitter.
{12854}{12902}Not the old lady next door.
{12913}{12947}Thanks.
{13047}{13077}Matthew?
{13082}{13157}-Katie, you back here?|-Yeah.
{13163}{13195}Come on in, would ya?
{13302}{13402}-Hey, get in the house. No dripping.|-Okay!
{13473}{13592}Sweetie. Please don't|get sick on me, please.
{13812}{13842}Let's fix dinner.
{13894}{13932}Yes, look.
{14064}{14102}Look at the water.
{14287}{14362}Goddamn it!
{14369}{14427}I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
{14474}{14573}Matthew! Katie! We're going out!
{14676}{14708}You go ahead and order.
{14714}{14802}I'm gonna have a cheeseburger|deluxe with a Coke.
{14837}{14948}Mommy, can I have a cheeseburger|deluxe with no cheese and no bread?
{14987}{15021}Did you get that?
{15038}{15155}And she will have a cup of chicken|broth and a few crackers, please.
{15161}{15222}-And for you?|-Just a cup of coffee.
{15242}{15271}You're not eating?
{15277}{15387}My lawyer took me out to a fancy lunch|to celebrate, and l'm still stuffed.
{15399}{15434}How about that?
{16404}{16476}Yes, l'm calling about|the job ad in the paper.
{16482}{16535}I'm calling about the job ad.
{16541}{16590}The great personality, good voice.
{16596}{16656}I don't have any actual|sales experience.
{16662}{16743}I don't really have a resume,|but I can--
{16749}{16803}I don't have any computer skills.
{16818}{16924}Oh. Well, I thought it was|the local store.
{16936}{16994}Okay. Thanks anyway.
{17009}{17042}Okay, bye.
{17189}{17218}Ed Masry, please.
{17224}{17273}Yes, l'm holding for Ed Masry.
{17279}{17315}Is he ever in the office?
{17326}{17379}No, but l've called|about a dozen times.
{17384}{17424}I'd like to leave a message.
{17430}{17517}Brockovich, B-R-O-C-K-O-V-l-C-H.
{17529}{17608}I'm a client. I want him to call.|It's that simple.
{17712}{17742}Okay.
{18099}{18152}Goddamn it!
{18159}{18225}-Brenda! Brenda!|-Yeah?
{18239}{18281}Who put that there?
{18286}{18328}The files you asked for.
{18334}{18416}I didn't ask you to put it|in the middle of the floor.
{18422}{18488}Get a towel, will you?|Hey, hey--
{18541}{18602}-Hey, what's she doing here?|-Who?
{18704}{18737}Donald.
{18789}{18823}What's she doing here?
{18829}{18863}She works here.
{19170}{19191}Erin.
{19209}{19247}How's it going?
{19258}{19315}You never called me back.|I left messages.
{19324}{19408}You did? I didn't know that.|Donald seems to think--
{19423}{19543}There's two things that aggravate me:|being ignored and being lied to.
{19549}{19603}-I never lied.|-You said things'd be fine.
{19609}{19651}They're not. I trusted you.
{19657}{19695}-I'm sorry.|-I don't need pity.
{19701}{19767}I need a paycheck.|And l've looked.
{19773}{19877}When you spend 6 years raising babies,|it's hard to get a job that pays.
{19882}{19982}Are you getting this down, honey?|Or am I talking too fast for you?
{19994}{20027}I'm sorry about that.
{20033}{20080}But we have a full staff now--
{20086}{20207}Bullshit. If you had a full staff,|you'd return a client's damn call.
{20213}{20324}I'm smart and hard-working.|I'm not leaving here without a job.
{20636}{20682}Don't make me beg.
{20698}{20772}If it doesn't work out, fire me.
{20807}{20836}Don't make me beg.
{20984}{21037}No benefits.
{21099}{21187}What we do in here is file|all of the cases.
{21193}{21278}That way, at any time,|we can tell the status of a file.
{21284}{21343}Where it is in the office and stuff.
{21349}{21432}Here's where we organize|all the files alphabetically.
{21437}{21482}-Simple enough.|-Okay.
{21487}{21533}-And here is your desk.|-Okay.
{21539}{21602}I want to show you where|the Xerox machine is.
{21607}{21660}Everybody has a code.
{21666}{21726}-Do I get to pick my own code?|-We'll see.
{21879}{21985}Can you tell me who I talk to about|getting an advance on my paycheck?
{21991}{22037}Just for the weekend.
{22049}{22098}Rosalind's the office manager.
{22104}{22175}She handles the payroll|and petty cash.
{22180}{22209}She's gone already.
{22215}{22287}She leaves early on Fridays.
{22371}{22440}-Okay, thank you.|-Oh, for Pete's sake, here.
{22507}{22574}I've only got hundreds.
{22702}{22753}I don't want your money, Mr. Masry.
{22769}{22847}Where do you think|your paycheck comes from?
{22859}{22912}-Have a good weekend.|-Thank you.
{22918}{22977}-See you.|-All right, see you.
{23012}{23048}See you Monday.
{23333}{23409}Hi, my sweetie. Hello.
{23415}{23440}How are you?
{23446}{23481}Matthew, Katie.
{23492}{23537}-Hey, Mom.|-Hi, sweetie.
{23568}{23608}How are you?
{23614}{23672}-Thanks a lot.|-You're welcome.
{24492}{24522}Hey!
{24573}{24612}Hey!
{24734}{24766}Hello.
{24779}{24862}What are you doing|making all that goddamn noise?
{24871}{24953}Introducing ourselves|to the neighbourhood, I guess.
{24963}{25032}Well, I am the neighbours. There.
{25037}{25086}We're introduced.|So shut up.
{25168}{25237}Wait. Hold on there.|Let's start over, okay?
{25242}{25283}My name's George.|What's yours?
{25298}{25397}Just think of me as the person|next door who likes it quiet.
{25409}{25437}Don't be like that.
{25443}{25502}Look, we live next door.|I feel bad.
{25508}{25574}I'm sorry.|Will you accept my apology?
{25584}{25667}We're living right next door.|If you need a cup of a sugar--
{25672}{25727}-I don't need sugar.|-You don't.
{25733}{25802}Why don't I take you|out to dinner to apologize?
{25813}{25868}Give me your number.|I got your address...
{25874}{25923}...so you can't get away.
{25929}{25985}I'll call you up proper|and ask you out.
{26024}{26053}You want my number?
{26059}{26110}I do. I do want your number.
{26147}{26215}Which number do you want, George?
{26236}{26290}I like the way you say that.
{26296}{26334}How many numbers you got?
{26343}{26423}I got numbers coming out|of my ears. For instance, 1 0.
{26429}{26465}-Ten.|-Yeah.
{26471}{26537}That's how many months old|my baby girl is.
{26553}{26593}-You got a little girl?|-Yeah.
{26599}{26658}Sexy, huh? How about this? Six.
{26664}{26737}That's my other daughter.|Eight is my son.
{26743}{26809}Two is the times|l've been married and divorced.
{26815}{26867}$1 6 is what I have|in my bank account.
{26872}{26945}850-3943, that's my phone number.
{26951}{27060}I'm guessing zero is the number|of times you're gonna call it.
{27079}{27147}Hey, how do you remember|your bank balance?
{27153}{27197}See, that impresses me.
{27211}{27262}You're dead wrong about that zero.
{27472}{27527}How long has she been crying?
{27569}{27623}She's got that tooth coming in.
{27629}{27731}Give her a cold washcloth to suck on.|I'll check back later.
{27737}{27757}Where's Anna?
{27777}{27827}She's out to lunch with the girls.
{27894}{27947}I have to open a file.
{27974}{28030}Real-estate thing, pro bono.
{28036}{28083}-Okay.|-Know how to do that?
{28089}{28148}Yeah, I got it. No problem.
{28232}{28258}You're a girl.
{28312}{28332}Excuse me?
{28344}{28424}Why aren't you out to lunch|with the girls? You're a girl.
{28468}{28522}I guess l'm not the right kind.
{28688}{28772}Look, you may want to--|Now that you're working here--
{28778}{28872}You may want to rethink|your wardrobe a little.
{28910}{28933}Why is that?
{28946}{29067}Well, I think some of the girls|are a little uncomfortable...
{29072}{29130}...because of what you wear.
{29177}{29217}Is that so?
{29226}{29323}Well, it just so happens,|I think I look nice.
{29328}{29408}As long as I have one ass|instead of two, l'll wear what I like...
{29414}{29455}...if that's all right with you?
{29651}{29717}You might wanna rethink those ties.
{30078}{30188}With real-estate stuff, could you|remind me? l'm a little confused.
{30194}{30303}Why are there medical records|and blood samples in real-estate files?
{30309}{30347}You've been here long enough.
{30353}{30459}If you don't know how to do your job|by now, l'm not gonna do it for you.
{30858}{30892}Hello?
{30979}{31024}Hello?
{31029}{31122}Matthew? Katie?
{31546}{31614}Matthew? Katie?
{31744}{31777}Matthew!
{32263}{32292}What happened?
{32298}{32358}-Hi, Mom.|-Hey. Hungry?
{32364}{32390}Am l--?
{32408}{32467}They're here?|I went to pick them up.
{32477}{32563}She came by an hour ago. Something|came up, she dropped them off.
{32573}{32602}Something came up?
{32608}{32633}Why didn't she call?
{32639}{32738}I don't know. She, I was, she--|I don't know why.
{32748}{32810}-That stupid bitch.|-Mom!
{32821}{32906}I just can't believe she dumps|my kids off when nobody's home.
{32914}{32952}I was home.
{32966}{33032}We're fine. We cooked|burgers, had some milk.
{33043}{33097}You want a hot dog? There's one.
{33102}{33185}-Or a cheeseburger?|-But this mustard is slippery.
{33229}{33300}Mom, what do you think|about me getting a tattoo?
{33307}{33352}One, two, three.
{33464}{33532}I got all these kings.|You win, you got a joker.
{33551}{33579}King.
{33584}{33619}Joker.
{33633}{33697}You stole a joker!
{33703}{33728}You cheat.
{33733}{33767}What do you mean?
{33789}{33884}You cheat!|Get another one.
{33890}{33932}Time to go to bed.
{33952}{34014}Get ready for bed.|Brush your teeth.
{34046}{34097}-Play tomorrow?|-Yeah.
{34191}{34227}Good night, buddy.
{34239}{34267}What's that?
{34273}{34349}This is a Harley-Davidson,|the best motorcycle ever.
{34355}{34448}And if I ever catch either one of you|near one, knock you silly.
{34574}{34638}Brush. And keep it down,|the baby's asleep.
{34669}{34702}You got great kids.
{34718}{34798}Well, l'm sure|l'll fuck 'em up eventually.
{34833}{34862}Why?
{34886}{34977}I'm not a good judge of character,|or I wouldn't have left them...
{34982}{35075}...with that idiot, who cost a lot|and smelled like chicken fat.
{35081}{35137}And after I find her and kill her...
{35151}{35202}...l don't know what l'm gonna do.
{35211}{35267}If you need help with them,|I could do that.
{35299}{35367}-I'm not leaving my kids with you.|-Why?
{35382}{35462}-I don't even know you.|-What do you wanna know?
{35482}{35537}-Thanks for today--|-You're welcome.
{35543}{35582}It was my pleasure.
{35624}{35660}How many decks did you have?
{35669}{35722}We had more than enough.
{35728}{35784}Got so many friends|you can't use one more?
{35823}{35931}If you need someone to look after your|kids after school, or whatever...
{35937}{35983}...l don't have a job now.
{36013}{36102}Oh, that's a great recommendation:|" l'm unemployed."
{36108}{36133}By choice.
{36139}{36181}I work when I need to.
{36199}{36270}What do you do?|Live off your trust fund?
{36276}{36383}I do construction, which pays good,|and I make it last by living cheap.
{36389}{36429}Is that supposed to impress me?
{36435}{36473}Hey. Bed.
{36479}{36527}Your little ghosts.
{36570}{36642}You always this hard on people|who try to help you?
{36659}{36688}I'm out of practice.
{36694}{36759}Well, let me remind you then.
{36765}{36857}The polite thing is to say thank you.|I'd start it off with that.
{36862}{36933}Then, " Hey, that's|a really nice offer.
{36943}{36997}I don't mind taking you up on that."
{37002}{37053}Why do you want to watch my kids?
{37059}{37087}-I like kids.|-Right.
{37093}{37159}I like hanging out with them.|They keep it simple.
{37231}{37263}You're home every afternoon?
{37271}{37318}I'm usually working on my bike.
{37406}{37526}If it doesn't work out, you can always|send them back to the chicken-fat lady.
{37681}{37723}This isn't gonna get you laid.
{37776}{37807}Get in bed.
{37813}{37887}Good, because I don't|find you attractive either.
{37902}{37927}Then we're even.
{37932}{37998}I'm so glad we got that|out of the way.
{38004}{38031}I feel much better.
{38037}{38117}I do too. Because now I can|just look after the kids...
{38122}{38194}...and I don't have to worry|about you coming on to me.
{39597}{39687}Bring the phone into the changing room.|Of course they won't.
{39693}{39802}Mrs. Masry, don't be such a tease.|Hold on, just hold on. Yeah?
{39808}{39873}Sorry, would you mind|if I investigate this?
{39883}{39909}Investigate what?
{39914}{39990}This real-estate thing|with the Jensens. The pro bono.
{40040}{40102}I wanna make sure I understand|what l'm reading.
{40108}{40187}-Yeah, yeah, sure.|-You don't mind?
{40192}{40252}Okay, great. Thanks.
{41931}{41956}Donna Jensen?
{41981}{42053}I'm Erin Brockovich,|with Masry and Vititoe.
{42059}{42117}Oh! You're a lawyer?
{42123}{42203}Hell, no. I hate lawyers.|I just work for 'em.
{42220}{42245}Do you have a minute?
{42259}{42362}I don't mean to be a pain to PG&E|after all they've done for Hinkley...
{42391}{42513}...but if they want this place,|they're gonna have to pay for it.
{42528}{42613}You didn't put the house up for sale.|They just wanted to buy it?
{42619}{42663}Oh, yeah, yeah.
{42669}{42745}Oh, I don't wanna move.|Uproot the kids?
{42751}{42801}I've got a couple of girls.
{42807}{42883}Honest to God, I don't know|if I have the energy.
{42889}{42985}You know, l've been sick.|Me and Pete both have.
{43017}{43100}The idea of selling, if they're|not gonna pay us properly...
{43105}{43141}...l don't see the point.
{43159}{43232}Yeah, yeah, I can see that.
{43256}{43308}I guess the only thing|that confused me--
{43314}{43415}Not that your medical problems|aren't important.
{43421}{43503}How come those files are in|with all the real-estate stuff?
{43528}{43625}There's just so much correspondence,|I just keep it all in one place.
{43737}{43859}I'm sorry, I just don't see why you're|corresponding with PG&E...
{43864}{43933}...about your medical problems|in the first place.
{43939}{44009}Well, they paid|for the doctor's visit.
{44029}{44052}They did?
{44057}{44140}You bet. Paid for a checkup|for the whole family.
{44149}{44268}Not like with insurance, where you pay|and maybe you see some money in a year.
{44274}{44337}They just took care of it.|Just like that.
{44344}{44375}We never saw a bill.
{44381}{44425}Wow. Why'd they do that?
{44439}{44469}The chromium.
{44478}{44524}-The what?|-The chromium.
{44531}{44607}Well, that's what|kicked this whole thing off.
{45581}{45637}-What kind of chromium?|-There's more than one?
{45643}{45733}There's straight-up chromium,|it does good things for the body.
{45739}{45800}There's chrom three,|which is fairly benign.
{45806}{45862}There's chrom six,|hexavalent chromium...
{45868}{45940}...which, depending on the amounts,|can be harmful.
{45946}{46011}Harmful how? What would you get?
{46028}{46097}With repeated exposure|to toxic levels, anything...
{46103}{46210}...from chronic headaches to respiratory|disease, liver failure...
{46216}{46307}...heart failure, reproductive failure,|bone or organ deterioration.
{46313}{46367}Plus, of course, any type of cancer.
{46372}{46442}So that stuff, it kills people.
{46447}{46480}Yeah, definitely.
{46486}{46530}Highly toxic. Highly carcinogenic.
{46536}{46637}It gets into your DNA, so you pass|the trouble to your kids. Very bad.
{46642}{46687}Well, what's it used for?
{46692}{46722}A rust inhibitor.
{46728}{46851}The utility plants use piston engines|that get hot, they run water through.
{46856}{46903}Chromium's in the water|to prevent corrosion.
{46923}{47008}How do I find out what kind|of chromium they use in Hinkley?
{47014}{47070}-Been to their water board?|-What's that?
{47076}{47102}Every county has one.
{47107}{47172}They keep records of anything|in their jurisdiction.
{47178}{47252}-You should find something there.|-County water board.
{47258}{47333}-Alrighty. Well, thanks.|-Good luck.
{47362}{47423}I wouldn't advertise|what you're looking for.
{47429}{47532}Incriminating records have a way of|disappearing when people smell trouble.
{47552}{47617}I'll remember that. Thanks.
{47889}{47928}This guy's too smart.
{47934}{48017}It's only a matter of time|until he makes his move.
{48022}{48087}He positions women employees|in such a way...
{48092}{48201}... that they have no choice|but to respond or lose theirjobs--
{48354}{48412}-That's a heavy door.|-Let me give you a hand.
{48417}{48512}Thank you very much. Aren't you|a gentleman, Mr...?
{48517}{48578}-Scott.|-Mr. Scott.
{48584}{48667}Pleased to meet you.|I'm Erin.
{48672}{48714}Erin. Erin. Cool.
{48724}{48784}What can I do for you, Erin?
{48798}{48893}Believe it or not, l'm on the prowl|for some water records.
{48899}{48938}You come to the right place.
{48951}{48984}I guess I did.
{48998}{49102}Just tell me what you wanna look at,|and l'd be glad to dig 'em out.
{49108}{49203}I wish I knew. It's for my boss.|He's in this water dispute...
{49209}{49329}...and he wants me to find all kinds|of papers, from all kinds of places.
{49421}{49508}You know,|it would probably be easiest...
{49514}{49585}...if I squeezed back there|and poked around myself.
{49591}{49668}-Would that be all right with you?|-Come on back.
{49674}{49759}-I'm gonna need you to sign in here.|-Oh, sure.
{49886}{49967}-" Pattee," is that your middle name?|-No, maiden.
{49972}{50005}Oh, you're married?
{50036}{50072}Not anymore.
{50139}{50176}-Can I just...?|-Yeah.
{50197}{50225}I love your pants.
{50231}{50312}Oh, well, yeah, thanks.
{50329}{50358}Well, this is it.
{50401}{50429}It's impressive.
{50484}{50533}I'll call you if I need anything.
{50602}{50637}-All right.|-Okay.
{50643}{50676}-Thank you.|-Okay.
{52692}{52717}Where's my stuff?
{52729}{52767}Where have you been?
{52773}{52810}Where the fuck is my stuff?
{52816}{52886}Don't you use language|like that with--
{52928}{52953}Someone took my stuff.
{52959}{53023}-Nice to see you.|-I had photos of my kids--
{53029}{53113}Toothbrush, toothpaste,|mousse and deodorant.
{53150}{53171}What's going on?
{53188}{53275}This isn't a job where you|can disappear for days at a time.
{53280}{53342}You don't do the work,|you don't get to stay.
{53347}{53415}All l've been doing is working.|Ask Mr. Masry.
{53426}{53493}You ask Mr. Masry. He fired you.
{53576}{53608}You said to fire me?
{53614}{53677}I'll call you back.|You've been gone for a week.
{53683}{53772}I left a message. I was gonna|write a whole damn report.
{53778}{53862}That's not how we work. You don't|leave a message and take off.
{53868}{53948}-Want me to check in every second?|-It's called accountability.
{53954}{54007}I'm not talking to you, bitch!
{54012}{54036}That's enough!
{54042}{54148}Look, Erin, this incident aside,|I don't think this is the right...
{54153}{54187}...place for you.
{54192}{54282}So l'm gonna make a few calls,|find you something else.
{54288}{54309}Don't bother.
{54315}{54345}I'm trying to help.
{54351}{54435}You're trying not to feel guilty|about firing someone with 3 kids.
{54442}{54497}Fuck if l'm gonna help you do that.
{54559}{54602}Get back to work!
{55092}{55137}What the hell are you doing here?
{55159}{55194}I'm fixing the leak.
{55200}{55277}Damn it, I don't ask you|to do things like that.
{55304}{55358}Look at this mess that you've made.
{55364}{55437}-I'm not done with that yet.|-Well, get it out.
{55467}{55518}-Relax.|-Shit! Where did it go?
{55539}{55562}Where is it?
{55568}{55592}Back there.
{55598}{55624}Behind your foot.
{55629}{55680}-Going up your leg now.|-Jesus!
{55686}{55746}Who fucking lives like this, George?
{55752}{55875}Who lets their kids run around in a|place with bugs the size of house cats?
{55881}{55955}All you have to do|is call an exterminator.
{55961}{56021}I can't call an exterminator.
{56037}{56112}I can't afford one.|I can't even afford my phone.
{56193}{56219}I got fired.
{56232}{56262}What?
{56282}{56372}What do you mean, you got fired?|You're working so hard.
{56387}{56422}Doesn't matter.
{56508}{56572}Doesn't make one fucking bit|of difference.
{56926}{56979}I don't know what happened to me.
{57082}{57117}I mean....
{57141}{57237}God, I was Miss Wichita,|for chrissake.
{57287}{57317}Did I tell you that?
{57381}{57502}You are living next door to a real,|live fucking beauty queen.
{57629}{57687}I still have my tiara.
{57748}{57871}And I thought it meant I was gonna|do something important with my life.
{57881}{57925}That it meant I was someone.
{58102}{58142}You're someone to me.
{58384}{58467}Are you gonna be something else|that I have to survive?
{58509}{58557}Because l'll tell you the truth...
{58616}{58657}...l'm not up to it.
{59672}{59732}I get up in the centre of the stage...
{59738}{59797}...and I have the big|bouquet of flowers.
{59803}{59865}I had my foot out like this,|and I said:
{59871}{59958}" I will devote my entire reign|as Miss Wichita...
{59964}{60023}...to bringing an end to world hunger.
{60033}{60102}And to the creation|of a peaceful earth...
{60108}{60170}...for every man, woman and child."
{60176}{60271}-How long were you Miss Wichita?|-One year.
{60277}{60352}By the time I got through|opening new supermarkets...
{60358}{60443}...l only had a few weeks left|to work on hunger...
{60449}{60497}-...and world peace.|-World peace.
{60502}{60561}I don't know what I was thinking.
{60589}{60637}What about you, huh?
{60644}{60682}What about me?
{60836}{60882}Let me tell you something.
{60894}{60942}Let me get that out of your hair.
{60980}{61037}-Thank you.|-Nice.
{61191}{61242}You're a very special lady.
{61389}{61433}Don't be too nice to me, okay?
{61439}{61472}Why?
{61492}{61537}Makes me nervous.
{61849}{61907}It's some slim pickings here, baby.
{61984}{62063}Maybe that's Ed McMahon.|Let's go see.
{62224}{62249}Wrong Ed.
{62274}{62310}What are you doing here?
{62316}{62404}I had an interesting call|this afternoon from Dr. Frankel...
{62411}{62460}-...from UCLA.|-Oh, yeah?
{62466}{62570}He wanted you to know that the " legal|limit for hexavalent chromium...
{62582}{62683}...is .05 parts per million...
{62689}{62775}...and at the rate you mentioned,|.58, it could be...
{62781}{62890}...responsible for the cancers"|in that family you asked about...
{62899}{62937}...the Jensens.
{62951}{63013}Well. Wasn't that nice of him?
{63019}{63117}Funny how some people help people,|and others just fire them.
{63126}{63217}I'm sorry. You were gone.|I assumed you were off having fun.
{63246}{63311}Why the hell would you assume that?
{63317}{63391}Maybe you look like someone|who has a lot of fun.
{63396}{63464}By that standard,|I assume you never get laid.
{63522}{63547}I'm married.
{63597}{63706}Look, what is this-- What's the story|on this cancer stuff?
{63789}{63882}You wanna know, you have to hire me|back. I got a ton of bills to pay.
{63922}{63952}Fine.
{63970}{63995}Fine.
{64012}{64102}Donna just put in these new cabinets,|stained the wood and all...
{64108}{64197}...when she gets a call from PG&E,|saying a freeway's gonna be built...
{64202}{64272}...and they wanna buy her house|for an off-ramp.
{64284}{64337}The husband's sick with Hodgkin's.
{64342}{64379}She keeps getting tumours...
{64384}{64453}...believing one has nothing|to do with the other.
{64459}{64513}Because PG&E told her|about the chromium?
{64519}{64560}They had a seminar.
{64566}{64622}They invited 200 people|from the area...
{64628}{64670}...had it at the plant...
{64676}{64745}...about chromium three|and how good it is...
{64751}{64803}...when they're using chromium six.
{64831}{64928}That document you found|at the water board...
{64934}{65029}...the one that says|about the bad chromium....
{65053}{65116}You didn't happen to make a copy,|did you?
{65122}{65158}Of course I did.
{65179}{65210}Could I have a look?
{65223}{65260}I want a raise.
{65266}{65360}And benefits, including dental.
{65389}{65429}It's not how I do business.
{65434}{65473}-What way is that?|-Extortion.
{65658}{65722}A 5% raise, we'll talk|about benefits later.
{65734}{65848}Ten. There are lots of other places|I could get work.
{65889}{65981}1 0% raise and benefits, but that's it.|I'm drawing the line.
{66012}{66053}He's drawing the line.
{66303}{66344}This the only thing you got?
{66349}{66423}Well, the place is a pigsty.|There's probably more.
{66429}{66483}I know how those things are run.
{66503}{66587}What makes you think|you can just walk in there...
{66593}{66663}...and find what we need?
{66686}{66734}They're called boobs, Ed.
{67126}{67177}Yes, l'm sure it is.
{67207}{67236}I understand.
{67271}{67314}I agree. I agree. I'm going to.
{67320}{67347}Right now.
{67537}{67571}I'm almost done. Look.
{67593}{67632}How are we doing?
{67638}{67677}We're doing great.
{67724}{67758}Good.
{67764}{67857}Well, you've got quite a lot|done already. So....
{67901}{67968}Sorry, we need to have|those records back now.
{67979}{68007}No.
{68083}{68153}These papers are public record.|I'm not leaving...
{68159}{68242}...until they're copied.
{68557}{68627}Fax these to this number, okay?
{68634}{68687}-All of them?|-All of them.
{69202}{69252}An on-site monitoring well?
{69258}{69331}-That means it was--|-It's on the PG&E property.
{69354}{69477}And you say that this stuff,|this hexavalent chromium....
{69502}{69562}-Well, it's poisonous.|-Yeah.
{69748}{69859}It's gotta be different than what's|in our water, because ours is okay.
{69864}{69932}The guys from PG&E told me.
{69937}{70027}They sat right in the kitchen|and told me that it was fine.
{70051}{70157}I know. But the toxicologist|that l've been talking to...
{70162}{70277}...he gave me a list of problems that|come from hexavalent chromium exposure.
{70283}{70362}Everything you all have|is on that list.
{70367}{70427}No, no, no.
{70479}{70587}That's not what--|That's not what our doctor said.
{70592}{70632}He said that....
{70662}{70747}Well, that one's got absolutely|nothing to do with the other.
{70784}{70847}But PG&E paid for that doctor.
{71358}{71387}Ashley!
{71409}{71453}Shanna!|Get out of the pool!
{71459}{71520}-How come?|-I said so, that's why.
{71679}{71733}The minute Brenda sent that fax...
{71739}{71837}...l'm saying, the second she|pressed the "send" button...
{71873}{71972}...PG&E's claim department|was on the phone to me...
{71978}{72020}...scheduling a meeting.
{72026}{72080}So you think that--|Let me do it.
{72086}{72127}You're driving me nuts.
{72132}{72170}You think we scared them?
{72176}{72232}Taking the trouble to send someone...
{72237}{72320}...sounds like they're|sitting up and taking notice.
{72694}{72720}Mr. Foil?
{72768}{72828}In the interest|of putting this to rest...
{72833}{72940}...PG&E is willing to offer|the Jensens $250,000 for their home.
{72954}{72990}$250,000?
{73018}{73077}In terms of land value in Hinkley...
{73082}{73148}...we feel that's a more|than fair price.
{73157}{73217}How about in terms|of medical expenses?
{73223}{73333}$250,000 isn't gonna come close to what|this family's gonna spend on doctors.
{73373}{73443}I understand they've had bad luck,|health-wise.
{73449}{73490}They have my sympathies.
{73496}{73532}But that's not PG&E's fault.
{73538}{73580}You're kidding, right?
{73622}{73667}Look at these readings.
{73672}{73765}PG&E's own technicians documented...
{73771}{73843}...toxic levels of hexavalent chromium|in those wells...
{73849}{73902}...on numerous occasions.
{73907}{73960}Everything the Jensens have had...
{73966}{74087}...is proven reaction to exposure to|hexavalent chromium. They have had....
{74108}{74147}They have had....
{74216}{74322}Breast cysts, uterine cancer,|Hodgkin's, immune deficiencies...
{74328}{74358}...asthma, nosebleeds--
{74364}{74423}A million things could|cause those problems.
{74429}{74533}Poor diet, bad genes,|irresponsible lifestyle.
{74538}{74590}Our offer is final|and more than fair.
{74596}{74672}Wait a minute.|I thought we were negotiating here.
{74742}{74844}$250,000 is all|l'm authorized to offer.
{74893}{74962}I'll present your offer to my clients.
{74968}{75017}I doubt they'll accept.
{75059}{75106}Before you go off on a crusade...
{75112}{75168}...remember who you're dealing with.
{75174}{75262}PG&E's a 28 billion|dollar corporation.
{75273}{75343}28 billion dollars?
{75349}{75402}I didn't know it was that much!
{75407}{75510}Wow! Twenty-eight billion!
{75516}{75567}Holy cow!
{75576}{75602}They made an offer.
{75608}{75697}No, a million would have been|an offer. They send that...
{75703}{75780}...mail clerk down to jerk me off,|waste my time.
{75785}{75805}Why?
{75818}{75862}You heard what that kid said.
{75867}{75973}They have 28 billion dollars.|They can afford to waste time.
{75979}{76020}-You can't?|-Am I made of money?
{76026}{76080}-Why are you yelling?|-I'm pissed.
{76134}{76181}-Fuck you!|-Fuck you back!
{76423}{76471}I really hate you sometimes.
{76482}{76537}No. You love me.
{76819}{76877}You've been reading for hours.
{76883}{76927}I'm a slow reader.
{77659}{77693}Excuse me.
{77698}{77740}-Are you Erin Brockovich?|-Yeah.
{77764}{77803}I'm Tom Robinson.
{77808}{77852}This is my wife, Mandy.
{77857}{77929}We used to live across|the street from the Jensens.
{77934}{77988}I think you know Donna.
{78019}{78092}PG&E bought our house last year.
{78125}{78223}Well, the vet said they had|a bunch of tumours and stuff.
{78250}{78316}Well, you can see|they couldn't really walk.
{78328}{78373}How many were born like this?
{78395}{78468}Twelve or 1 3 or so.
{78490}{78572}When Donna told us what|you told her about the chromium...
{78577}{78653}...we figured it might have|something to do with this.
{78658}{78699}Yeah, it might.
{78704}{78742}Really, may I keep these?
{78747}{78777}-Yeah.|-Okay, great.
{78782}{78858}Thank you so much.|I really appreciate it.
{78888}{78927}There's something else too.
{78977}{79003}What?
{79115}{79180}Mandy, here, has had...
{79185}{79248}...five miscarriages.
{79260}{79287}I'm so sorry.
{79317}{79373}I figured it was something I did.
{79394}{79457}Like, when I smoked marijuana,|maybe...
{79462}{79520}...or took birth control pills...
{79525}{79584}...but then Donna|said that you thought...
{79589}{79665}...this chromium might be|to blame for her problems.
{79670}{79718}So I figured maybe...
{79795}{79829}...it wasn't just me.
{80243}{80288}I have to take a bath.
{80302}{80338}You should go in.
{80389}{80428}They're not asleep?
{80512}{80553}Beth and Katie are.
{80947}{81018}-How was school?|-Fine.
{81034}{81085}-Did you do your homework?|-Yeah.
{81150}{81193}Any problems?
{81454}{81542}I know you're upset,|but the way this job is...
{81547}{81645}...things come up at the last minute.|Things that I gotta deal with.
{81650}{81700}Fine!
{81840}{81888}Please don't be mad at me.
{81912}{81998}I'm doing this for us. I know|it's hard for you to understand...
{82076}{82142}...but don't you want Mommy|to be good at her job?
{82310}{82403}I don't miss dinner all the time.|We all ate together last night.
{82408}{82455}You were reading the whole time.
{83043}{83139}There's something about this thing|I don't understand, Mr. Masry.
{83150}{83215}If PG&E messed with our water...
{83220}{83290}...why would they say anything|about it to us at all?
{83298}{83341}Why not just keep quiet about it?
{83348}{83397}To establish a statute of limitations.
{83402}{83469}In a case like this,|you only have one year...
{83475}{83550}...from the time you learn about|the problem to file suit.
{83565}{83609}So PG&E figures...
{83614}{83710}..."We'll let the cat out of the bag.|Tell them the water isn't perfect.
{83720}{83788}If we can ride out the year|with no one suing...
{83793}{83838}...we'll be in the clear forever."
{83854}{83907}But they told us more than a year ago.
{83912}{83973}-That's okay. We're not suing.|-Not yet.
{83985}{84053}All we're doing|is using this information...
{84058}{84124}...to get you a nice purchase|price on your house.
{84129}{84239}And you two, a comparable|retroactive bonus on your sale price.
{84244}{84308}PG&E still looks good|to their shareholders.
{84313}{84355}They're not in a lawsuit.
{84360}{84418}All they're doing is buying property.
{84469}{84537}Doesn't say how much|this thing's gonna cost us.
{84557}{84636}My fee is 40% of whatever|you get awarded.
{84874}{84928}Boy, do I know how you feel.
{84933}{85023}The first time I heard that number,|I said, "You're kidding me."
{85028}{85074}Forty goddamned percent?
{85079}{85172}I'm the one that's injured, and|this joker sits at a desk all day...
{85177}{85235}...and he wants|almost half of my reward?
{85240}{85287}-Erin, can l--?|-But then...
{85304}{85352}...l asked him...
{85357}{85418}...what he makes|if I don't get anything.
{85455}{85502}Then I don't get anything either.
{85519}{85560}Plus, he's out all the costs.
{85575}{85623}So I realized...
{85629}{85668}...he's taking a chance too.
{85892}{85928}You got a pen, honey?
{86067}{86094}All right, then.
{86170}{86218}Oh, I made a bundt cake.
{86225}{86280}Who would like coffee and cake?
{86285}{86339}-I do.|-Thanks, but we have to get back.
{86383}{86438}Have a fucking cup of coffee, Ed.
{86443}{86489}Coffee will be great. Thank you.
{86500}{86553}-All right.|-I'll help you.
{86667}{86728}My wife makes really good bundt cake.
{86737}{86778}I love bundt cake.
{86849}{86956}Well, it seems like everybody in|the family ended up with a rash somehow.
{86973}{87057}It seemed like no matter what|we did, it always came back.
{87075}{87127}Over what kind of period of time?
{87132}{87228}Oh, long time, you know, years.|I never did keep track of it.
{87233}{87308}Kids are sick.|Animals need to be fed.
{87313}{87353}Just couldn't get rid of it.
{87392}{87440}Well, Mrs. De Soto said...
{87450}{87520}...that she wasn't|exactly sure what you had.
{87525}{87555}We know what it is.
{87560}{87638}-It's gastrointestinal--|-Gastrointestinal cancer.
{87643}{87720}-She got sick about nine months ago--|-Nine months ago.
{87725}{87794}And they operated on her|about six months ago.
{87799}{87835}-The intestine.|-Right.
{88083}{88158}-Hi. I'm Erin Brock--|-I know who you are.
{88163}{88203}Donna called me.
{88235}{88268}Can I come in?
{88279}{88344}We're not interested|in getting involved.
{88398}{88438}Can I ask why?
{88452}{88493}What's the point?
{88547}{88635}Donna told me that you've been sick|and that your kids were sick--
{88640}{88703}You people don't give a shit.
{88714}{88778}Anything to get what you want.
{88972}{89005}Thanks for having me--
{89010}{89078}It's a good day to come by.|She's feeling good.
{89083}{89140}Well, Mike Ambrosino had remembered...
{89145}{89210}...that he had seen|you folks at the hospital.
{89215}{89259}That's what brought me out here.
{89307}{89383}Yeah, we've been there|from time to time.
{89395}{89457}And you! Wooftie!
{89462}{89488}Ain't you a beauty?
{89505}{89555}You drive all the boys|crazy, don't you?
{89560}{89633}I can see it in your eyes.|You drive them wild.
{89642}{89678}You do, don't you?
{89690}{89718}Torture them.
{89723}{89758}It's good for them.
{89809}{89863}Don't teach her anything too early.
{89885}{89953}Yeah, she can't wait|to get on her new dress.
{89958}{89994}She wants to go to school.
{89999}{90060}We're trying to do that,|in a few months.
{90065}{90129}Yeah, get her out|of her nightgown here.
{90205}{90248}She's gonna do it.
{90680}{90710}Absolutely not.
{90715}{90765}-Why not?|-Because I said no.
{90770}{90820}The reason PG&E even talks to us...
{90825}{90893}...is because this is a quiet|real-estate dispute.
{90900}{90985}We add plaintiffs, we're in|the middle of a toxic-trot...
{90990}{91059}...with a statute problem,|against a massive utility.
{91064}{91084}No, thank you.
{91089}{91130}Okay, so here's what l'll do.
{91135}{91225}I'll go to the Daniels',|the nicest people you'll ever meet...
{91230}{91305}...who watch their girl fight|like a dog against cancer.
{91310}{91335}I'll tell them...
{91340}{91432}...we can't help them, because you|just don't wanna work that hard.
{91442}{91473}Work hard?
{91478}{91524}Let me tell you something.
{91529}{91565}I've worked all my life.
{91570}{91673}I've built a firm and kept it alive|through lawsuits and injunctions.
{91680}{91752}I've survived|a quadruple bypass, cancer...
{91757}{91816}...being born with one|kidney and diabetes.
{91821}{91888}I personally managed|to save a million dollars...
{91893}{91957}...over 30 years, getting|clients 1 0 times that.
{91962}{92015}Don't tell me I don't work hard!
{92020}{92105}Don't tell me I can't stop,|take a breath and enjoy life.
{92110}{92170}What the hell do you know|about any of this?
{92180}{92252}Something like this, Erin,|it could take forever.
{92257}{92298}They're a huge corporation!
{92303}{92355}They'll bury us|in paperwork for years.
{92360}{92419}I'm just a guy with|a small, private firm!
{92448}{92522}Who knows they poisoned|people and lied about it.
{92540}{92575}We can get these people.
{92580}{92672}With a little effort, I think we|can nail their asses to the wall.
{92677}{92735}With your legal expertise,|you believe that?
{92740}{92805}-Don't you ever just know?|-Do you know about money?
{92810}{92850}They settle due to lack of money.
{92855}{92934}You know what toxicologists|and geology experts cost?
{92939}{92984}We're looking at $1 00,000 a month.
{92989}{93066}-I've already spent some of my savings.|-We'll figure it out.
{93071}{93166}I don't know shit, but I know the|difference between right and wrong!
{93171}{93240}-Lovers' quarrel?|-Bite my ass, Krispy Kreme.
{93350}{93390}I feel you looking at me.
{93478}{93528}I'm sorry.
{93578}{93638}How many families are we talking about?
{93643}{93705}Four more. Eleven people so far.
{93710}{93733}There's more?
{93744}{93867}I found a document at the water board,|a toxic test well reading from 1 967.
{93875}{93934}More people have lived|there since then.
{93955}{94047}This is a whole different ball game.|A much bigger deal.
{94070}{94136}Kind of like David|and what's-his-name.
{94180}{94275}Kind of like David and what's-|his-name's whole fucking family.
{94315}{94360}Here's the deal.
{94365}{94483}If, and only if, you find all the|evidence to back this up, l'll do it.
{94489}{94527}You're doing the right thing.
{94532}{94633}Remind me of that when|l'm filing for bankruptcy.
{94675}{94769}Of course, gathering|evidence is a big job.
{94774}{94829}Hell of a lot bigger than just filing.
{94834}{94875}I'll be working a lot harder...
{94880}{94950}...taking on a lot|more responsibility.
{94955}{95014}-I don't believe this.|-A raise wouldn't hurt.
{95019}{95060}I'll spend more time in my car...
{95065}{95146}...so l'll probably be needing|one of those cell phones.
{95163}{95238}-I don't believe this.|-Just a little phone.
{96877}{96913}Thank you!
{97085}{97144}Whoever is behind you.
{97168}{97195}Just play.
{97200}{97283}Go, roll the dice and play.
{97332}{97385}Come on, aren't you gonna play?
{97390}{97442}Roll the dice.
{97447}{97482}Come on.
{97564}{97589}Hello.
{97594}{97703}Is this the Erin Brockovich that's|been snooping around the water board?
{97708}{97740}Yeah. Who's this?
{97745}{97780}You should watch your step.
{97785}{97881}A young lady with three young|children really should think again.
{97886}{97908}Who is this?
{97935}{97998}Do you understand what l'm saying?
{98152}{98177}Who is it?
{98218}{98254}It's okay.
{98303}{98402}I'm not gonna quit because of|one creepy phone call, George.
{98407}{98443}Come on, Erin.
{98470}{98512}A job shouldn't put you in danger.
{98517}{98544}I'm not in danger.
{98549}{98608}-The phone might be tapped but--|-What?
{98613}{98694}That's usual. We've got a dead|bolt, it's not a big deal.
{98709}{98785}You don't think you're|a little out of your league?
{98790}{98865}That's what those PG&E|fucks want me to think.
{98870}{98900}But they're wrong.
{98905}{98970}Erin, there are plenty|of jobs out there.
{98975}{99013}How would you know?
{99240}{99283}What that's supposed to mean?
{99288}{99370}You got a problem with me caring|for your kids instead of a job?
{99375}{99403}I can get a job.
{99408}{99482}You can leave the kids with|the chicken-fat lady again.
{99487}{99543}I said l'm sorry.|Keep your voice down.
{99548}{99633}I know what these kids can|sleep through, better than you.
{99969}{100018}Scott, tell me something.
{100023}{100079}Does PG&E pay you|to cover their ass?
{100084}{100158}Or do you just do it out|of the kindness of your heart?
{100169}{100230}I don't know what|you're talking about.
{100235}{100277}Nobody calls me Pattee.
{100282}{100388}That sicko that called could've|only found out about me from you.
{100407}{100445}People are dying, Scott.
{100450}{100500}You've got document after document...
{100505}{100598}...that says why, and you|haven't said one word about it.
{100632}{100702}I wanna know how the hell|you sleep at night.
{101189}{101288}I'm about to drive off the road,|l'm so tired. Keep me awake.
{101325}{101358}What do you want, a joke?
{101378}{101443}No, I don't want a joke.
{101455}{101511}Tell me about what went on back there.
{101553}{101628}Come to think of it,|we had a big event around here.
{101677}{101750}Beth started talking.
{101808}{101833}What?
{101875}{101922}Beth? My Beth?
{101927}{101959}We were sitting around...
{101983}{102048}...and she pointed|at a ball and said:
{102065}{102093}" Ball."
{102120}{102157}Out of the blue like that.
{102225}{102265}It was pretty intense.
{102270}{102325}You know, seeing|somebody's first word.
{102330}{102448}Of all the words in her life,|that's the first word she says.: "ball. "
{102510}{102563}She pointed her little finger...
{102582}{102653}... with her beautiful, soft,|chubby little arm...
{102671}{102700}...and her cheeks.
{102705}{102774}It's like she'd been|looking at it for months...
{102779}{102853}...and couldn't get it out,|but knowing what it was.
{102858}{102909}She didn't look away or anything.
{102914}{102975}She was just sitting|there with her arm out.
{102980}{103047}You should've seen|Matthew and Katie and me.
{103052}{103089}Ourjaws just dropped.
{103094}{103194}We must've stood there for three or|four minutes andjust looked at her.
{103199}{103275}She just had her arm out|like that. "Ball. "
{103280}{103348}And, you know, her little|lips wrapped around it.
{103394}{103428}It was great.
{103433}{103473}It was intense.
{103652}{103722}I brought some stuff that|you might be interested in.
{103727}{103800}My name's Erin, and|l'll be here all day.
{103805}{103860}Let's go over to these|nice ladies. Hi.
{103865}{103898}-How are you?|-Good.
{103903}{103997}I brought some information today,|if you wanna have a look at it.
{104002}{104060}If you have any|questions, let me know.
{104065}{104133}Hi. Excuse me, ladies, l'm Ed Masry.
{104138}{104230}I'm the lawyer involved in the case.|You might like to read these.
{104235}{104289}If you have questions,|l'm here all day.
{104294}{104353}-Sounds good. Thank you.|-Thanks so much.
{104378}{104415}Is your phone number in this?
{104442}{104513}There's more important|information than that in there.
{104550}{104580}I'm bored.
{104585}{104620}So are the kids.
{104645}{104684}I'm a little busy, honey.
{104689}{104744}We invited these people.|Ed and I have to--
{104749}{104794}I'm sorry. You know what?
{104800}{104845}Please, I have an idea.
{104850}{104883}Can you take her?
{104888}{104968}She's getting heavy, and l'll|work faster if you take her.
{105230}{105261}Got a knee for me?
{105298}{105350}-Hello.|-Hello, sweetness.
{105355}{105395}-Guess what?|-What?
{105400}{105444}I would like to go home.
{105449}{105470}Everything's done?
{105475}{105505}We got a lot done.
{105510}{105573}Did you? I think|I ate three watermelons.
{105578}{105603}Piggyback!
{105608}{105645}Let's go, brother. Get on.
{105650}{105685}Careful.
{105690}{105725}Here, get on me, now.
{105730}{105780}Erin, excuse me.
{105785}{105860}This is Nelson Perez, he works|at the compressor station.
{105865}{105922}-Hi, nice to meet you.|-PG&E.
{105927}{105968}Oh, hi.
{106003}{106049}-I've come at a bad time.|-No.
{106054}{106128}-Can you just give me one--?|-Of course. Sure.
{106133}{106173}Thank you.
{106245}{106269}You know what?
{106274}{106370}Why don't you guys go ahead without|me, and l'll get a ride with Ed.
{106375}{106450}-No, Mom.|-No, sweetie, l'll be right behind you.
{106455}{106505}I'll be right behind you, all right?
{106513}{106628}-I really-- This is so--|-Fine. Go, go, go.
{106710}{106748}Get down, bud.
{106847}{106880}Hang on tight there.
{106885}{106943}Help your sister|with her shoes. Let's go.
{107350}{107428}This is so helpful.|Is it okay if I write this down?
{107433}{107467}I have so many questions.
{107472}{107555}I wanna know about how the plant works|and the cooling towers, just everything.
{107555}{107582}I wanna know about how the plant works|and the cooling towers, just everything.
{107587}{107710}They use the hexachrome here, in these|cooling towers, as an anticorrosive.
{107716}{107788}Then they dump the excess|water into these ponds.
{107797}{107864}I don't remember seeing|any ponds up there.
{107869}{107940}They've been covered over,|and not too carefully.
{107945}{108006}If you dig one inch|under the surface...
{108011}{108062}...dirt's as green|as a fucking shamrock.
{108067}{108127}And that's what|caused the contamination?
{108132}{108224}It didn't help, but no.|The problem started on the bottom.
{108231}{108280}According to...
{108326}{108364}...this...
{108369}{108432}...in most cases you would|line these ponds...
{108437}{108492}...so the shit didn't seep|into the ground.
{108507}{108590}-But guess what?|-They skipped that step?
{108599}{108664}Here are the ponds,|the plume comes down...
{108669}{108724}...and Hinkley is down here...
{108729}{108811}...it's 1 4 years of hexachrome|flowing into the groundwater.
{108830}{108860}Jesus.
{108885}{108946}This guy just offered|all this information?
{108959}{109030}Well, yeah. Nelson cares|what's in those ponds.
{109035}{109121}He used to spend time wading|around them. That was his job.
{109126}{109155}Shit.
{109335}{109356}What's the matter?
{109417}{109475}I don't know if we can pull this off.
{109502}{109597}This is a monster case.|We're up to 41 1 plaintiffs.
{109602}{109719}We've taken 1 62 declarations.
{109724}{109810}Probably hundreds more|out there have moved away.
{109817}{109872}We have to find them,|it's taking time.
{109877}{109927}Money's going out,|nothing's coming in.
{109932}{109980}I have to take a second mortgage.
{109985}{110026}-So?|-So!
{110107}{110145}I have to tell you.
{110164}{110257}I've been making inquiries|with other firms...
{110262}{110345}...bigger firms to share|some of the cost.
{110357}{110415}They all said no,|said they don't have it.
{110466}{110507}We got PG&E by the balls.
{110512}{110612}PG&E Hinkley, but nobody'll get rich|unless we pin this on Corporate...
{110617}{110667}-...in San Francisco.|-What do you mean?
{110672}{110750}PG&E Corporate claims they|didn't know about Hinkley.
{110755}{110804}They knew. They had to know.
{110809}{110851}Show me the document to prove it.
{110922}{111021}Then they didn't know. If so, we|can't hit them with punitive damages.
{111026}{111109}With punitive damages,|it's a sum of money that can...
{111114}{111210}...have some effect|on these people's lives.
{111242}{111275}So what do we do now?
{111384}{111494}Let's assume there are documents|connecting PG&E Hinkley and Corporate...
{111499}{111539}...and they know about them.
{111551}{111660}We take our 400 or so plaintiffs|and everything you've dug up...
{111667}{111724}...we file a lawsuit|to provoke a reaction.
{111729}{111825}See if they offer a reasonable|settlement, or throw more paper at us.
{111837}{111875}Sounds great. Let's do that.
{111880}{111909}There's a downside.
{111941}{112000}PG&E will submit a demurrer.
{112005}{112059}A list attacking each complaint...
{112064}{112132}...claiming that each cause|of action has no merit.
{112137}{112189}And if the judge agrees with them...
{112194}{112277}...he'll dismiss our case.|PG&E will have no reason to settle.
{112297}{112340}Then it's all over.
{112485}{112540}So basically it all comes down to...
{112545}{112619}...what this one judge decides.
{112647}{112685}Basically, yeah.
{112714}{112750}Jesus.
{113797}{113870}Well, l'd got so used|to having them come up benign.
{113914}{113985}Guess I just didn't expect it.
{114015}{114100}I sure wish I would've had longer|to get used to the idea.
{114186}{114237}You think if you got no uterus...
{114242}{114324}...and no breasts...
{114329}{114396}...you're still technically a woman?
{114437}{114486}Sure you are.
{114491}{114534}Yeah, you just--
{114539}{114601}You're actually a happier woman.
{114606}{114679}No need to worry|about maxi-pads and underwire.
{114860}{114903}We're gonna get them, aren't we?
{114912}{114985}You gotta promise me|that we're gonna get them.
{115374}{115447}I have before me|a complaint on behalf of residents...
{115522}{115622}... of Hinkley, California, who|have filed against PG&E.
{115627}{115699}For damages, medical expenses|and personal trauma...
{115704}{115817}...due to contamination of the ground|water in their area by the defendant.
{115834}{115912}And I have here 84 motions|to strike and demurrers...
{115917}{116012}...submitted by representatives|of Pacific Gas & Electric.
{116017}{116094}Each one attacking|the validity of this complaint.
{116115}{116195}I have reviewed all of|the information carefully.
{116207}{116257}I'm ready to give my decision.
{116262}{116334}Before I do, is there|anything anyone wants to say?
{116359}{116422}-No, Your Honour.|-No, Your Honour.
{116450}{116480}Very well.
{116487}{116600}In the matter of the plaintiffs|of Hinkley, California vs. PG&E...
{116605}{116706}...it is the order of this court that|each of the 84 motions to strike...
{116711}{116774}...and demurrers are denied.
{116779}{116895}And the causes of action against|Pacific Gas and Electric are upheld.
{116915}{116952}On a more personal note...
{116967}{117064}...as a resident here in Barstow,|which is not far from Hinkley...
{117069}{117129}...l am disturbed by reference...
{117134}{117252}...to evidence that suggests that not|only was hexavalent chromium used...
{117257}{117364}...but that your clients|actually sent these residents...
{117369}{117442}...pamphlets telling them|that it was good for them.
{117472}{117523}Tell your clients|they're going to trial.
{117805}{117881}Jesus. They look|like the Secret Service.
{117900}{117943}Intimidation.
{117987}{118038}Let the games begin.
{118045}{118098}Show them into the conference room.
{118153}{118195}Donald, Anna...
{118224}{118278}...l wanna talk to you for a minute.
{118388}{118416}Counsellors.
{118421}{118444}Counsellors.
{118625}{118650}Let's be honest.
{118665}{118747}$20,000,000 is more than|these people have ever dreamed of.
{118779}{118820}Now that pisses me off.
{118843}{118934}First of all, since the demurrer,|we have more than 400 plaintiffs.
{118939}{118994}Let's be honest, we know there's more.
{119000}{119077}They may not be sophisticated,|but they can divide...
{119082}{119152}...and $20,000,000|isn't shit after splitting it.
{119157}{119183}Second of all...
{119188}{119235}...they don't dream of being rich.
{119240}{119309}They dream about|watching their kids in a pool...
{119314}{119400}...without worrying that|they'll have a hysterectomy at 20.
{119405}{119448}Like Rosa Diaz, our client.
{119455}{119565}Or have their spine deteriorate, like|Stan Bloom, another client of ours.
{119570}{119662}So before you come back here|with another lame-ass offer...
{119667}{119761}...l want you to think real|hard about what your spine is worth.
{119771}{119847}Or what you expect someone|to pay you for your uterus.
{119865}{119954}Then take out your calculator|and multiply that number by 1 00.
{119965}{120035}Anything less than that|is a waste of our time.
{120092}{120169}We had that water brought|in special for you folks.
{120174}{120199}Came from Hinkley.
{120613}{120648}I think this meeting's over.
{120660}{120698}Damn right it is.
{121587}{121688}What the fuck? Did a bomb blow up?|You letting the kids run wild?
{121946}{121970}What's that?
{122217}{122263}I saw them in a mall one day.
{122300}{122338}I said, " Damn...
{122354}{122416}...they'll look good on|those beautiful ears."
{122469}{122585}I bought them and I said, "When Erin|does something nice, l'll surprise her."
{122624}{122673}You know how long ago that was?
{122738}{122763}Six months ago.
{122825}{122913}-I'm sorry, l've just--|-And so what l'm thinking is....
{123007}{123082}Either you gotta find|a different job or a different guy.
{123140}{123168}I mean....
{123205}{123293}There may be many men out there|who don't mind being the maid...
{123298}{123362}...and getting nothing.|But I ain't one of them.
{123429}{123467}I can't leave my job, George.
{123473}{123508}Yes, you can.
{123530}{123576}People do it all the time.
{123602}{123653}How can you ask me to do that?
{123694}{123738}This job....
{123775}{123875}For the first time in my|life, I got people respecting me.
{123880}{123915}Up in Hinkley...
{123920}{124024}...l walk into a room, everybody shuts|up to hear what I have to say.
{124029}{124103}I never had that before, ever.
{124123}{124171}Please, don't ask me to give it up.
{124180}{124219}What about your kids?
{124244}{124335}I'm doing more for them now|than I did living with my parents.
{124340}{124374}One day they'll see it.
{124379}{124443}-Well, what about me?|-What about you?
{124546}{124607}You think the men|who gave me those children...
{124612}{124688}...asked me what I|wanted before walking away?
{124693}{124775}All l've ever done|is bend my life around...
{124780}{124835}...what men decide they need.
{124840}{124913}Well, not now.|I'm sorry. I won't do it.
{124918}{124943}Well....
{124967}{125023}Erin, l'm not them. So....
{125037}{125094}What more can I do|to prove that to you?
{125122}{125153}Stay.
{125540}{125573}What for?
{125638}{125674}I mean, you got a raise.
{125679}{125734}You can afford daycare.|You don't need me.
{126815}{126843}Hi.
{127228}{127262}We can get them, Pamela.
{127292}{127323}We can.
{127334}{127403}I don't wanna feel it all over again...
{127408}{127473}...and then not have it come out right.
{127514}{127578}I don't know if I could handle that.
{127600}{127648}Put the kids through that.
{127665}{127760}The thing is, it doesn't matter|whether you win, lose or draw here.
{127765}{127888}You were lied to. You're sick and your|kids are sick because of those lies.
{127954}{128019}You all have to come together...
{128024}{128084}...to stand up in|a courtroom and say that.
{128227}{128280}I'd bring the kids|into the hospital...
{128285}{128377}...with towels soaked|from their nosebleeds.
{128470}{128583}They called County Services because|they assumed the kids were abused.
{128700}{128778}Am I gonna get the best|behaviour in the office?
{128783}{128812}No.
{128817}{128938}What's with the attitude?|I just need cool, I need quiet.
{128948}{129008}Hello. Am I alone in the car? Yes?
{129013}{129100}-I don't understand why--|-I don't wanna talk about it now.
{129105}{129165}-The other moms gave permission.|-I don't care.
{129170}{129277}-So when can I get a friggin' answer?|-Don't talk to me like that!
{129282}{129319}Randy's mom said yes.
{129324}{129412}Goddamn it, Randy's mom doesn't|work, and his dad didn't leave her!
{129417}{129478}Figuring out who|takes him to roller hockey...
{129483}{129559}...is probably easier at|Randy's house. Now cool it.
{129675}{129758}I'll be as quick as I can.|Matthew, can you watch your sister?
{129779}{129850}-Matthew.|-All right, fine. Come here, Beth.
{129855}{129927}-Can I come with you?|-No, baby, l'll just be a second.
{130795}{130858}Thank you. I'm only|sorry you couldn't meet Erin.
{130863}{130890}-I will.|-You will.
{130895}{130955}We have a lot of work to do together.
{130960}{131029}Thanks for coming.|Erin, I was just talking about you.
{131034}{131111}Meet our new partner, Kurt Potter.|He'll handle Hinkley.
{131116}{131180}I see what you mean|about a secret weapon.
{131185}{131267}Erin, it's great to meet you.|You've done a fabulous job.
{131272}{131353}-I'll be seeing you.|-Thanks, I appreciate you coming over.
{131650}{131670}What?
{131675}{131712}Our new partner?
{131717}{131775}When was I gonna hear about this?
{131780}{131866}Just listen. Did I ever tell|you about that airline case?
{131874}{131922}What the fuck are you talking about?
{131927}{131993}A few years back, I was|trying this airline case...
{131998}{132105}...and I got my ass kicked by this|guy. He buried me in paper, brutal.
{132110}{132162}He's the toughest|l'd ever been up against.
{132167}{132193}Make a point!
{132200}{132246}It was Kurt Potter.
{132265}{132388}After the judge's decision, I asked|him to partner, he didn't hesitate.
{132394}{132492}He wouldn't hesitate now, we did|all the work. Where was he before?
{132497}{132565}Will you listen to me?|It doesn't matter.
{132570}{132630}You wanna win this?|He gave me this check.
{132635}{132690}It covers all our expenses to date...
{132695}{132775}...and he's got more toxic|tort experience than anyone.
{132780}{132812}This is good news!
{132917}{132956}I got Pamela Duncan.
{133257}{133313}I'll open, Mommy.
{133318}{133401}You wanna open the can for|Mommy? Well, here, l'll help you.
{133419}{133453}You turn it?
{133497}{133565}-Hi, George.|-Hi, George. Let's go see.
{134200}{134226}Erin Brockovich?
{134243}{134298}Package from Masry and Vititoe.
{134567}{134618}-Thank you.|-Thank you.
{134695}{134738}-What's in here?|-Baby.
{134743}{134798}There's no baby in here.
{134814}{134854}-What is it?|-A dolly.
{134859}{134913}It's a dolly? lt's--
{135227}{135255}Lookit.
{135325}{135367}" Lookit" is right.
{135552}{135588}Do you see that?
{135693}{135747}-I want that.|-I want that too.
{135752}{135792}It's our lucky day.
{135797}{135833}Matthew, Katie!
{136095}{136176}PG&E has requested that we|submit to binding arbitration.
{136187}{136218}What's that?
{136268}{136347}That's where we try the case|without a jury, before a judge.
{136352}{136383}It's called a test trial.
{136390}{136463}The judge's decision|is final. There's no appeal.
{136490}{136569}-How many plaintiffs do you have?|-634.
{136593}{136649}They'll never try|that many all at once.
{136654}{136738}So we need to get them together|in groups of 20 or 30.
{136743}{136860}Worst cases, the most life-threatened,|the sickest first and so on.
{136865}{136946}Each one gets a go before|the judge to determine damages.
{136955}{137003}PG&E proposes that they're liable...
{137008}{137099}...anywhere between|50 and 400 million.
{137135}{137202}So wait a minute. Let|me just get this straight.
{137209}{137235}If we went to trial...
{137240}{137338}...PG&E could stretch this over|1 0 years with appeal after appeal.
{137343}{137412}-Those people would--|-These people expect a trial.
{137429}{137523}That's what we told them, you|and me. They won't understand this.
{137578}{137636}Kurt thinks it's the best way to go.
{137862}{137969}Look, I promise you that we'll|be very sensitive on this point.
{137980}{138020}We'll make sure they see...
{138025}{138118}...that this is the only way|we can go forward at this time.
{138135}{138185}But we have a lot of work to do...
{138199}{138268}...before we even broach that subject.
{138308}{138354}I'll take Erin down the hall...
{138359}{138468}...so we can start on this stuff,|and l'll fill her in on the details.
{138485}{138573}-Those are my files.|-Yeah. We had them couriered over.
{138584}{138635}Listen, good work.|They're a great start.
{138640}{138728}We'll just spend some time|filling in the holes in your research.
{138733}{138850}Excuse me-- Theresa, is it?|There are no holes in my research.
{138860}{138942}There are things we need|you probably didn't know to ask.
{138954}{139002}Don't talk to me like l'm an idiot.
{139007}{139062}I spent 1 8 months on this case...
{139068}{139152}...and I know more about|the plaintiffs than you ever will.
{139187}{139238}You don't even have phone numbers.
{139248}{139278}Whose number do you need?
{139283}{139364}Everyone's. We need to be|able to contact the plaintiffs.
{139375}{139423}I said whose number do you need?
{139457}{139514}You don't know 600 numbers by heart.
{139875}{139904}Annabelle Daniels.
{139909}{140008}Annabelle Daniels. 71 4-454-9346.
{140013}{140087}Ten years old. Lived|on the plume since birth.
{140092}{140198}Wanted to be a synchronized swimmer,|so she spent every minute in the pool.
{140205}{140255}They detected a tumour in her brain.
{140260}{140330}An operation shrunk it,|with radiation after that.
{140336}{140375}Her parents are Ted and Rita.
{140380}{140502}Ted's got Crohn's disease. Rita has|headaches and underwent a hysterectomy.
{140509}{140604}Ted grew up in Hinkley. His|brother and his wife and their kids...
{140609}{140707}...Robbie Jr., Martha, Ed, Rose|and Peter also lived on the plume.
{140712}{140764}Their number is 454-9554.
{140770}{140815}You want their diseases?
{140945}{140997}I think we got off on the wrong foot.
{141002}{141095}That's all you got, lady, two|wrong feet in fucking ugly shoes.
{141247}{141330}-She insulted me.|-Bullshit. It was a misunderstanding.
{141335}{141408}Instead of being polite and|treating her with respect--
{141413}{141448}Why should I respect her?
{141453}{141567}Just because she's not supporting kids|with no husband, she's not an idiot!
{141572}{141625}Just because she|dresses like a lawyer...
{141630}{141714}...doesn't mean she didn't|work her ass off in law school.
{141719}{141770}Excuse me for not going to law school.
{141775}{141868}Law school? At this point,|I'd settle for charm school!
{142069}{142098}Mr. Linwood!
{142298}{142333}Bob?
{142443}{142533}6086 Ridge Road...
{142554}{142629}...Hinkley, California. 71 4...
{142669}{142709}...455....
{142737}{142814}Okay, now, if you|could walk me through...
{142822}{142943}...all of the elements|of Annabelle's illnesses.
{142974}{143014}Specific details...
{143019}{143136}...when the symptoms began,|prior to the first medical visit.
{143165}{143259}If you could reserve sentimental|embellishments, I'd appreciate it...
{143264}{143324}...because they won't|help you in court.
{143329}{143404}I just need facts, dates, time.
{143432}{143506}I know Theresa isn't real|warm, but she's a good lawyer.
{143523}{143614}She asks the same questions|you did. I told you everything.
{143619}{143727}I don't want her coming to the|house again. She upsets Annabelle.
{143732}{143798}Okay, if you don't like|Theresa, that's okay.
{143803}{143870}You know how important|Annabelle is to me.
{143875}{143923}Ed and I are still here for you.
{143928}{144025}I called Ed two days ago, Erin.|He still hasn't called me back.
{144030}{144082}Now, I hate to say this, but...
{144088}{144154}...everyone's upset|about this arbitration thing.
{144175}{144205}What?
{144210}{144264}Pamela has written a letter...
{144269}{144329}...telling everybody|to get new lawyers.
{144334}{144364}That we've been lied to.
{144374}{144438}-Is it true?|-No.
{144450}{144478}Did you?
{144483}{144583}I'm telling you the truth, and|I'll get to the bottom of all of this.
{144588}{144623}Don't lie to us.
{144628}{144664}I will take care of this.
{144669}{144742}-Now, we're trusting you here, so....|-Thanks.
{144747}{144796}I'll talk to you soon, okay?
{144880}{144934}I'm not saying|it's not a strong case.
{144939}{145040}Otherwise, they wouldn't have dropped|the demurrers. I wouldn't be here.
{145045}{145117}What I am saying is, we|don't have a smoking gun...
{145122}{145172}...that ties San Francisco to Hinkley.
{145177}{145255}Something that|proves that prior to 1 987...
{145260}{145377}...PG&E Corporate knew the water was|bad there and did nothing about it.
{145413}{145523}-Erin, I thought you took a sick day.|-So did l.
{145662}{145737}-What's going on in there?|-Meeting about the PG&E thing.
{145742}{145793}-Are you sure?|-Yep.
{145843}{145918}We can find it, or|we don't have a big win.
{145937}{146005}Can I take a brief|break here for a moment?
{146023}{146055}I'll be right back.
{146286}{146370}-You told me you weren't feeling great.|-Bullshit!
{146375}{146493}If I was on my deathbed, if it|helped you, you'd drag me out of it!
{146595}{146629}How could you take this away from me?
{146634}{146729}-Nobody's taking anything.|-Bullshit! You stuck me in Siberia!
{146735}{146847}Dictating to some goddamned clerk|so you could finish this without me.
{146852}{146895}They screwed up, Erin!
{146900}{146956}They screwed up and they admit it.
{146962}{147004}The arbitration proposal...
{147010}{147100}...could've been written in Sanskrit,|for all the sense it made.
{147105}{147225}I know. I spoke to Ted. Pamela Duncan|wouldn't even get on the phone with me!
{147230}{147285}Pamela made everybody|mad with that letter.
{147290}{147325}She called us thieves.
{147330}{147379}-The whole thing's falling apart.|-Why?
{147384}{147477}Because before we go to arbitration,|the plaintiffs must agree!
{147482}{147560}-How many?|-Usually they require about 70% .
{147565}{147650}PG&E is demanding 90.|In other words, everybody.
{147655}{147705}Do you understand? This is serious.
{147710}{147768}And, what, Ed? I'm not serious?
{147773}{147822}You're emotional, you're erratic.
{147827}{147902}You say anything, you make|this personal, and it isn't.
{147909}{147945}Not personal?
{147950}{147987}That is my work!
{147992}{148045}My sweat! My time away from my kids!
{148050}{148123}If that's not personal,|I don't know what is.
{148272}{148312}Hey, come on.
{148317}{148348}Come on.
{148374}{148422}Go home. Get well.
{148427}{148488}Because you're no good to me sick.
{148507}{148553}I need you, all right?
{148570}{148618}This case needs you.
{148683}{148728}Did you tell them that?
{149340}{149415}Binding arbitration isn't|that different from a trial.
{149420}{149525}It's overseen by a judge. Evidence|is presented in much the same way.
{149530}{149569}And then a jury decides?
{149581}{149699}Sorry, I forgot to mention that|there's no jury in binding arbitration.
{149704}{149747}No jury and no appeal.
{149793}{149861}What option do we have if|we don't like the result?
{149866}{149916}None. The judge's decision is final.
{149921}{149943}Not a good answer.
{149948}{150020}No, but we don't|anticipate that being a problem.
{150025}{150062}As I already told you...
{150073}{150161}...it's definitely between|50 and 400,000,000 dollars.
{150169}{150223}Well, which?|There's a big difference.
{150228}{150276}I wouldn't like to speculate.
{150313}{150403}-Well, how does it get divided?|-Yeah, who gets what?
{150473}{150584}My medical bills started two years ago,|before some of the other people here.
{150589}{150663}My daughter was in and out|of hospitals more than his.
{150668}{150733}It shouldn't matter when it started.
{150765}{150822}People, listen, please!
{150827}{150937}The point we have to address|tonight is getting everyone to agree...
{150942}{151015}...that binding arbitration|is better than a trial...
{151020}{151105}...that could go on for|1 0 years before you see any money.
{151110}{151189}Maybe some of us|wanna wait 1 0 years!
{151280}{151357}Everyone has to agree,|or no one has a chance!
{151370}{151490}Those of you about to leave, I'd like|you to keep this date in mind: 1 978!
{151495}{151574}That's the year of|the Love Canal controversy.
{151579}{151635}They're still|waiting for their money!
{151640}{151719}Think about where|you'll be in 1 5 or 20 years.
{151883}{151963}Now, look, everyone.|Is this a big decision?
{151970}{152091}Absolutely! But I do not|believe this is a sell-out.
{152099}{152170}This is the best shot|to get everyone some money now.
{152225}{152281}You and I both know...
{152298}{152381}...there are people in this|room who can't afford to wait.
{152412}{152441}To take that chance.
{152469}{152513}Are you gonna make them wait?
{152681}{152728}So how many altogether?
{152775}{152890}We got just about everybody that came|here, but it leaves us about 1 50 short.
{152895}{152933}Oh, shit.
{152980}{153023}We'll have to go door-to-door.
{153085}{153136}I gotta go pick up my kids.
{153238}{153288}-You need a hand with that?|-No.
{153442}{153465}You did good.
{153508}{153543}We'll see.
{154378}{154413}Thanks for coming.
{154535}{154643}Don't take them anywhere on your|bike. I'll give you money for a cab.
{154659}{154688}I got money.
{154705}{154753}So how long is this gonna take?
{154828}{154868}I don't know. A few days.
{154904}{154943}Got your own room.
{155248}{155289}I am really sorry, George.
{155347}{155374}Have the kids eaten?
{155464}{155488}No.
{157109}{157180}Wanna get some pancakes?|Come on, let's go.
{157185}{157269}Everybody up today.
{157274}{157308}All right.
{157316}{157345}Come on, baby.
{157350}{157408}-What time is it?|-It's early.
{157414}{157478}We're taking your|car to go get breakfast.
{157515}{157598}-No, I need my car.|-We'll be back in a minute.
{157627}{157663}Get some sleep.
{157683}{157768}Matt, buddy.|Put that down. Let's go.
{157773}{157813}I'll be there in a minute.
{157865}{157953}Let's go get some|pancakes, girly. Come on.
{158176}{158204}Don't play with that.
{158209}{158310}It took me so long to get organized.|Would you put that back, please?
{158315}{158360}This girl's the same age as me.
{158493}{158522}Is she sick?
{158617}{158687}She is, but that's|why I'm helping her.
{158692}{158734}We'll make her feel better.
{158750}{158798}Why can't her own mama help her?
{158875}{158922}Because she's real sick too.
{159255}{159308}I'll bring you back some breakfast.
{159334}{159368}You want eggs?
{159435}{159473}Eggs would be great.
{159687}{159728}Eggs would be perfect.
{161424}{161496}-Hey, Matt.|-Hey, Erin. How are you?
{161572}{161627}-You been at this all day?|-Yeah.
{161633}{161691}-You want some coffee?|-I'd love some.
{161696}{161749}-I'll make a fresh pot.|-Thanks.
{162393}{162434}Don't I know you?
{162441}{162466}I don't think so.
{162471}{162539}Sure, you were at the barbecue|in Hinkley.
{162545}{162589}And at the town meeting.
{162621}{162664}I was watching you.
{162704}{162749}I had my eye on you.
{162808}{162839}Nice.
{162845}{162943}You were talking to everybody|and writing down a lot of stuff.
{162949}{163064}When I saw you, I said to myself,|"There's something about her.
{163091}{163146}I really like that girl."
{163191}{163260}-Matt, can I get that coffee to go?|-Sure thing.
{163345}{163404}I feel like I can talk to you too.
{163436}{163519}Like you're the type of person|I could say anything to.
{163564}{163594}-Here you go.|-Great.
{163600}{163625}What do I owe you?
{163631}{163696}-There's no charge.|-Thanks, Matt.
{163702}{163769}Well, nice talking to you.
{163774}{163882}Would it be important if, when I worked|at the plant, I destroyed documents?
{164024}{164059}Maybe.
{164106}{164137}What's your name?
{164153}{164194}Charles Embry.
{164205}{164249}Charles. Erin.
{164256}{164291}Nice to meet you.
{164351}{164452}Can you excuse me for a quick--|I'm just gonna run to the....
{164801}{164833}Oh, come on.
{164881}{164960}Oh, you fucking piece of crap|with no signal!
{164966}{164999}Fuck!
{165425}{165458}Ed. Ed, oh, my God.
{165467}{165547}This guy said he destroyed records.|He worked there.
{165553}{165574}Slow down.
{165580}{165647}I'm trying to relax.|This Charles Embry--
{165653}{165690}-Who?|-Charles Embry.
{165696}{165765}I thought he was trying to kill me|or pick me up...
{165771}{165854}...but why would he use that,|say that? It's crazy.
{165918}{166013}Shit. Go back and see if he'll|make a declaration.
{166019}{166044}A declaration.
{166049}{166102}But be careful.|Don't scare him off.
{166116}{166180}And stay calm. Stay calm.
{166186}{166261}If it weren't for you,|I'd be in Palm Springs now.
{166267}{166325}You're good at talking people|into things.
{166331}{166449}Don't pepper him with questions.|Don't do that. Just--
{166454}{166546}People wanna tell their story.|Just let him talk. Let him...
{166552}{166617}... do all the talking. All right?
{166728}{166769}Oh, sorry.
{166876}{166929}Would you like another beer, or....
{167136}{167184}My cousin passed away yesterday.
{167264}{167302}He had kidney tumours...
{167308}{167404}...no colon, his intestines|were eaten away.
{167409}{167454}Forty-one years old.
{167489}{167542}I remember seeing him|over at the plant.
{167548}{167625}He'd be cleaning|the cooling towers, wearing....
{167631}{167674}What do you call them?
{167679}{167748}-A mask?|-Yeah, doctors' masks.
{167781}{167854}And it'd be soaked in red|from the nosebleeds.
{168179}{168230}I was working in the compressor.
{168236}{168322}The supervisor calls me|up to the office and says:
{168328}{168370}"We'll give you a shredder...
{168376}{168464}...and send you to the warehouse|to shred the documents we stored."
{168520}{168557}He say why?
{168581}{168653}Nope. And I didn't ask.
{168749}{168809}Did you look at the stuff|you destroyed?
{168815}{168882}It was a lot of dull|vacation schedules and stuff.
{168921}{169012}Then there were memos about|the holding ponds, the water in them.
{169018}{169125}And readings from the test wells,|stuff like that.
{169223}{169279}You were told to destroy those?
{169287}{169313}That's right.
{169373}{169420}Course, as it turns out...
{169426}{169495}...l wasn't a very good employee.
{169888}{169929}-Good morning!|-Morning.
{169944}{169994}Ed. Erin, what's this?
{170016}{170074}-May l?|-Yep. Go ahead.
{170079}{170142}Well, you know what, Mr. Potter?
{170148}{170219}We completely forgot|your birthday this year.
{170225}{170314}Seeing as how you've been so good|to me, it's a terrible oversight.
{170320}{170417}So Ed and I have been putting together|a present for you.
{170423}{170470}Six-hundred and thirty-four.
{170481}{170519}They're signed, every one.
{170541}{170574}Holy shit.
{170579}{170644}Now, don't go|getting jealous, Theresa.
{170650}{170688}We have something for you.
{170701}{170779}Internal PG&E documents,|all about the contamination.
{170785}{170826}The one I like best says...
{170832}{170923}...l'm paraphrasing here, but it says,|"The water's poisonous...
{170929}{171015}...but it's best if this wasn't|discussed with the neighbours."
{171021}{171080}It's to Hinkley|from PG&E headquarters.
{171086}{171153}Stamp received March 1 966.
{171258}{171296}How did you do this?
{171331}{171410}Seeing as how I have no|brains or legal expertise...
{171416}{171462}...and Ed was losing all faith.
{171468}{171505}Completely. No faith.
{171511}{171626}I went out there and performed sexual|favours. 634 blowjobs in five days.
{171788}{171834}I'm really quite tired.
{171851}{171884}Oh, thank you.
{172516}{172565}Why did you want me to come?
{172604}{172669}I wanna show you|what you helped to do.
{173331}{173379}-How are you feeling today?|-Good.
{173388}{173451}-It's a good day.|-Oh, I'm glad.
{173463}{173504}Well, come on in.
{173523}{173586}What a nice surprise this is.
{173648}{173673}Donna.
{173750}{173870}I wanted to come out here|instead of calling...
{173876}{173949}...because the judge|came back with a number.
{174113}{174218}For the whole group, or for us?
{174236}{174269}Both.
{174299}{174409}He's gonna make them pay 333 million.
{174504}{174557}-And....|-Oh, my God.
{174615}{174699}He's gonna make them give|5 million of that to your family.
{174746}{174777}Five million dollars?
{174784}{174824}Five million dollars.
{174910}{174979}I don't even know|how much money that is.
{174991}{175100}Well, it's enough. It's enough|for whatever you could ever need...
{175106}{175229}...or what your girls need, or your|girls' girls. It'll be enough.
{175235}{175310}Oh, Erin. Oh, God.
{175371}{175434}Thank you so much.
{175520}{175554}It's okay.
{175672}{175732}I don't know what I'd have done|without you.
{175760}{175799}It's a good day.
{175824}{175884}This is too much.
{176140}{176229}Masry and Vititoe, can l--?|Shoot!
{176316}{176357}Delivery for Ed Masry.
{176363}{176425}Last office down the corridor,|on the right.
{176431}{176464}Thank you.
{176470}{176512}Masry and Vititoe--
{176517}{176542}Damn it!
{176547}{176629}Does anyone know anything|about these phones?
{176740}{176801}Everybody loves the desk...
{176807}{176869}...you picked out for me.|It's great.
{176892}{176979}Guess who's on the cover|of Los Angeles Lawyer magazine?
{176985}{177033}Talk to you later, baby. Bye.
{177151}{177189}-Thank you.|-You're welcome.
{177548}{177634}I'd rather walk her through this|in person, to show her...
{177639}{177705}...visual aids, documents and stuff.
{177711}{177789}Tell her I won't take up|too much of her time.
{177886}{177974}It's a little more complicated|than Hinkley, so let me do that.
{178026}{178080}Say I'm not a lawyer.|That may help.
{178105}{178130}Great.
{178136}{178219}Why don't you give me the address now?|Just in case.
{178321}{178404}All right. Thanks so much. Bye.
{178411}{178445}What's up?
{178480}{178527}I have your bonus check.
{178619}{178663}I want you to be prepared.
{178721}{178783}The figure's not exactly|what we discussed.
{178876}{178913}Why not?
{178918}{179011}Because, after careful consideration,|I felt...
{179040}{179117}...that figure was not appropriate.
{179156}{179199}Although you may not agree...
{179221}{179263}...you have to trust my--
{179274}{179335}Trust? You want me to trust you?
{179341}{179407}Don't use big words|you don't understand.
{179418}{179483}-It's a complicated issue--|-I did a job.
{179489}{179565}You should reward me accordingly.|It's not complicated.
{179571}{179679}All you lawyers do is complicate|situations that aren't complicated.
{179688}{179759}Do you know why people think|lawyers are scumbags?
{179764}{179849}Because they are. I can't believe|you're doing this to me...
{179854}{179907}...when I'm up to my ass|in Kettleman plaintiffs...
{179912}{179973}...which looks to be|double the amount of Hinkley.
{179978}{180082}You expect me to leave my kids|with strangers, knock on doors...
{180087}{180154}...get these people to trust you,|and you're screwing me!
{180199}{180263}I want you to know,|it's not about the number!
{180269}{180324}It is about the way|my work is valued.
{180330}{180394}No matter what I do, you're not--
{180521}{180564}As I was saying...
{180583}{180689}...l decided that the figure|you proposed...
{180695}{180754}...was inappropriate.
{180759}{180791}So I increased it.
{181060}{181145}Do they teach beauty queens|how to apologize?
{181151}{181219}Because you suck at it.
