:09:01
- There you go, sir.
- Thank you.

:09:03
- Drive careful.
- Yeah.

:09:13
When I stand on my porch,
:09:15
I can see the houses
where children died.

:09:19
These are the Kanes,
the Toomeys, the Zohners,

:09:23
the Robbins and the Aufieros.
:09:26
Now, I want to be clear.
:09:29
I'm not interested in money -
none of us are.

:09:32
What we want is to know what
happened. And we want an apology.

:09:37
- From who?
- Whoever did this.

:09:39
I want somebody to come and say,
"We're responsible.

:09:43
"We didn't mean it,
but we're sorry."

:09:46
But who is that?
:09:50
Well, we don't know.
:09:53
Mrs Anderson, our firm is
very small, just three attorneys.

:09:56
We can only take
so many cases at once

:10:00
and we have to be choosy because,
frankly, we can't afford to lose.

:10:04
We pay everything. We only get paid
if we win or settle.

:10:09
- I know.
- You want an apology.

:10:12
And I'd love to get you
that apology, but from who?

:10:16
Who is going to apologise to you and
pay me?

:10:20
There has to be a defendant
with very deep pockets.

:10:23
This is not
an inexpensive case to try.

:10:29
There's an old tannery out there.
:10:31
A tannery?
:10:33
And some other small factories.
:10:41
I really wish I could help you
but I can't. I'm sorry.

:10:45
Maybe you could go out to
the river, to the wells, and look.

:10:51
For what?
What would that accomplish?

:10:58
I do hope you find someone.
And I am sorry.
