1:37:03
They screwed up, Erin!
1:37:05
They screwed up and they admit it.
1:37:08
The arbitration proposal...
1:37:10
...could've been written in Sanskrit,
for all the sense it made.

1:37:14
I know. I spoke to Ted. Pamela Duncan
wouldn't even get on the phone with me!

1:37:19
Pamela made everybody
mad with that letter.

1:37:21
She called us thieves.
1:37:23
-The whole thing's falling apart.
-Why?

1:37:25
Because before we go to arbitration,
the plaintiffs must agree!

1:37:29
-How many?
-Usually they require about 70% .

1:37:32
PG&E is demanding 90.
In other words, everybody.

1:37:36
Do you understand? This is serious.
1:37:38
And, what, Ed? I'm not serious?
1:37:40
You're emotional, you're erratic.
1:37:42
You say anything, you make
this personal, and it isn't.

1:37:46
Not personal?
1:37:47
That is my work!
1:37:49
My sweat! My time away from my kids!
1:37:51
If that's not personal,
I don't know what is.

1:38:00
Hey, come on.
1:38:02
Come on.
1:38:04
Go home. Get well.
1:38:06
Because you're no good to me sick.
1:38:10
I need you, all right?
1:38:12
This case needs you.
1:38:17
Did you tell them that?
1:38:43
Binding arbitration isn't
that different from a trial.

1:38:46
It's overseen by a judge. Evidence
is presented in much the same way.

1:38:51
And then a jury decides?
1:38:53
Sorry, I forgot to mention that
there's no jury in binding arbitration.

1:38:58
No jury and no appeal.
