:45:01
Okay, let's look through
the looking glass the other way.
:45:05
What do you mean?
:45:07
We got a guy who wants to talk,
but he's constrained.
:45:10
- What if he were compelled to talk?
- Oh, torture. Great ratings.
:45:13
[ Chuckles ]
What do you mean, "compelled"?
:45:15
I mean, compelled
by a, uh, Justice Department.
:45:18
State courts.
Be a witness.
:45:20
That would cut through any
confidentiality agreement, wouldn't it?
:45:23
- What does that do?
- What do you mean, what does it do?
:45:26
What I mean is like, how does it cut
through the confidentiality agreement?
:45:29
Because he has to, uh,
reveal it in a court of law.
:45:32
It's on record. It's out.
It's no secret anymore.
:45:34
So how can they restrain his speech
or retaliate? It's out in the world.
:45:38
If you could engineer it into the
court record, you might have something.
:45:41
They would have a hell of a time
trying to restrain his speech
then, wouldn't they?
:45:44
Yeah, but what venue? And where does
he get-- Does he have killer attorneys?
:45:47
I don't think he's got
any attorneys.
:45:50
He's gonna need attorneys who aren't
afraid of risking years of litigation...
:45:54
and millions of dollars
of their own dough in legal costs.
:45:58
What do you say, Mike?
What do you think?
:46:03
Even if he gets
the defense team,
:46:10
will he go for it?
:46:18
You're awfully
over qualified, Dr. Wigand.
:46:23
[ Clears Throat ]
:46:27
I'm trying to start
a new career.
:46:32
I believe I could be
a good teacher.
:46:38
Let me give it
some thought.
:46:44
And not a lot of companies in the health
care field hire ex-tobacco scientists.
