:32:02
Who did they get for that?
:32:05
You're angry,
aren't you, Mrs. Otto?
:32:11
That's why l'm here.
:32:13
To give your anger a voice.
:32:15
To be your weapon
against whoever...
:32:17
caused that bus
to go off the road.
:32:21
Dolores.
:32:22
Dolores was doing exactly
what she's done for years.
:32:27
Besides, the school board's
insurance was minimal,
:32:29
a few million at most.
:32:33
The really deep pockets
are in the town...
:32:35
or the company
that made the bus.
:32:38
So you think someone else
caused the accident?
:32:41
Mrs. Otto, there is
no such thing as an accident.
:32:47
The word doesn't mean anything.
:32:49
As far as l'm concerned,
:32:52
somebody somewhere made
a decision to cut a corner.
:32:57
Some corrupt agency
or corporation...
:33:01
accounted the cost variance
between a 10-cent bolt...
:33:05
and a million-dollar
out-of-court settlement.
:33:12
They decided to sacrifice
a few lives for the difference.
:33:15
That's what's done, Mrs. Otto.
:33:18
l've seen it happen
so many times before.
:33:21
But Dolores said
she hit a patch of ice...
:33:25
and lost control of the bus.
:33:27
Mr. Otto, how long has Dolores
been driving that bus?
:33:30
How many times has she
steered clear of danger?
:33:32
What happened that morning?
:33:41
Somebody calculated
ahead of time...
:33:43
what it would cost
to sacrifice safety.
:33:46
lt's the darkest, most cynical
thing you can imagine,
:33:49
but it's absolutely true.
:33:53
And now, it's up to me...
:33:56
to ensure moral responsibility
in this society.
