They knew. They had to know.
1:13:02
Show me the document to prove it.
1:13:06
Then they didn't know. If so, we
can't hit them with punitive damages.
1:13:10
With punitive damages,
it's a sum of money that can...
1:13:14
...have some effect
on these people's lives.
1:13:19
So what do we do now?
1:13:25
Let's assume there are documents
connecting PG&E Hinkley and Corporate...
1:13:29
...and they know about them.
1:13:31
We take our 400 or so plaintiffs
and everything you've dug up...
1:13:36
...we file a lawsuit
to provoke a reaction.
1:13:39
See if they offer a reasonable
settlement, or throw more paper at us.
1:13:43
Sounds great. Let's do that.
1:13:45
There's a downside.
1:13:47
PG&E will submit a demurrer.
1:13:50
A list attacking each complaint...
1:13:52
...claiming that each cause
of action has no merit.
1:13:55
And if the judge agrees with them...
1:13:57
...he'll dismiss our case.
PG&E will have no reason to settle.
1:14:01
Then it's all over.
1:14:09
So basically it all comes down to...
1:14:11
...what this one judge decides.
1:14:15
Basically, yeah.
1:14:18
Jesus.
