-What is it?
-A dolly.
1:29:04
It's a dolly? lt's--
1:29:18
Lookit.
1:29:22
" Lookit" is right.
1:29:31
Do you see that?
1:29:37
-I want that.
-I want that too.
1:29:39
It's our lucky day.
1:29:41
Matthew, Katie!
1:29:53
PG&E has requested that we
submit to binding arbitration.
1:29:57
What's that?
1:30:00
That's where we try the case
without a jury, before a judge.
1:30:03
It's called a test trial.
1:30:05
The judge's decision
is final. There's no appeal.
1:30:09
-How many plaintiffs do you have?
-634.
1:30:13
They'll never try
that many all at once.
1:30:16
So we need to get them together
in groups of 20 or 30.
1:30:19
Worst cases, the most life-threatened,
the sickest first and so on.
1:30:24
Each one gets a go before
the judge to determine damages.
1:30:28
PG&E proposes that they're liable...
1:30:30
...anywhere between
50 and 400 million.
1:30:35
So wait a minute. Let
me just get this straight.
1:30:38
If we went to trial...
1:30:39
...PG&E could stretch this over
1 0 years with appeal after appeal.
1:30:43
-Those people would--
-These people expect a trial.
1:30:47
That's what we told them, you
and me. They won't understand this.
1:30:53
Kurt thinks it's the best way to go.
