I don't remember seeing
any ponds up there.

1:11:04
They've been covered over,
and not too carefully.

1:11:07
If you dig one inch
under the surface...

1:11:10
...dirt's as green
as a fucking shamrock.

1:11:12
And that's what
caused the contamination?

1:11:15
It didn't help, but no.
The problem started on the bottom.

1:11:19
According to...
1:11:23
...this...
1:11:24
...in most cases you would
line these ponds...

1:11:27
...so the shit didn't seep
into the ground.

1:11:30
-But guess what?
-They skipped that step?

1:11:33
Here are the ponds,
the plume comes down...

1:11:36
...and Hinkley is down here...
1:11:39
...it's 1 4 years of hexachrome
flowing into the groundwater.

1:11:43
Jesus.
1:11:45
This guy just offered
all this information?

1:11:48
Well, yeah. Nelson cares
what's in those ponds.

1:11:51
He used to spend time wading
around them. That was his job.

1:11:54
Shit.
1:12:03
What's the matter?
1:12:06
I don't know if we can pull this off.
1:12:10
This is a monster case.
We're up to 41 1 plaintiffs.

1:12:14
We've taken 1 62 declarations.
1:12:18
Probably hundreds more
out there have moved away.

1:12:22
We have to find them,
it's taking time.

1:12:25
Money's going out,
nothing's coming in.

1:12:27
I have to take a second mortgage.
1:12:29
-So?
-So!

1:12:34
I have to tell you.
1:12:36
I've been making inquiries
with other firms...

1:12:40
...bigger firms to share
some of the cost.

1:12:44
They all said no,
said they don't have it.

1:12:48
We got PG&E by the balls.
1:12:50
PG&E Hinkley, but nobody'll get rich
unless we pin this on Corporate...

1:12:54
-...in San Francisco.
-What do you mean?

1:12:56
PG&E Corporate claims they
didn't know about Hinkley.
