That insider was formerly...
2:00:02
a highly-placed executive
with a tobacco company.
2:00:05
But we cannot broadcast what critical
information about tobacco,
2:00:09
addiction and public health
he might be able to offer.
2:00:12
Why? Because he had to sign
a confidentiality agreement...
2:00:16
with the tobacco company
he worked for.
2:00:18
The management of CBS
has told us...
2:00:21
that knowing
he had that agreement...
2:00:23
if we were to broadcast
an interview with him,
2:00:26
CBS could be faced with
a multi-billion dollar lawsuit.
2:00:30
The fact is, we are not allowed
ewen to mention his name...
2:00:33
or the name of the company
he worked for.
2:00:36
And, of course, we cannot
show you his face.
2:00:40
And your confidentiality
agreement with-- [ Beep ]
2:00:43
- Is still in force?
- [ Voice Over] Yes, it is.
2:00:46
So what are they gonna do?
Sue you for making this appearance?
2:00:49
[Voice Ower]
I would bet on it.
2:00:51
[Wallace] The former executive
has reason to bet on being sued,
2:00:54
for major cigarette
manufacturers--
2:01:12
[ Phone Beeping ]
2:01:15
- [ Ringing ]
- Yeah.
2:01:18
[ Wallace ]
You disappeared on me.
2:01:20
- How long you staying?
- I disappeared on you?
2:01:24
All right.
What did you think?
2:01:27
I think it was
a disgrace.
2:01:30
[ Dial Tone ]
2:01:33
[Dialing Phone]
2:01:35
[Phone Ringing]
2:01:38
##[Vocalizing]
2:01:52
- [ Man ] Still no answer.
- Get me the manager's office.
2:01:57
David. David, you've got
a call on line four.
2:01:59
I think you
better take it.
