00:11:06,582 --> 00:11:08,793
[woman 1] Yeah, how you doing?What's going on?
177
00:11:09,293 --> 00:11:12,046
-Excuse me, sir, is there any---[conductor] Can't talk.
178
00:11:12,588 --> 00:11:13,547
Excuse me?
179
00:11:14,131 --> 00:11:16,676
-[woman 2] What's happening?-[woman 1] Did you find her somewhere?
180
00:11:16,759 --> 00:11:18,761
[frantic chatter]
181
00:11:23,974 --> 00:11:25,226
[woman 1] Turn on the TV.
182
00:11:25,309 --> 00:11:27,311
[train brakes squealing]
183
00:11:29,230 --> 00:11:30,314
[woman 3] Oh my God.
184
00:11:30,398 --> 00:11:31,440
[gasps]
185
00:11:32,191 --> 00:11:33,234
Yes, we see it.
186
00:11:35,611 --> 00:11:37,363
[sirens wailing]
187
00:11:37,446 --> 00:11:40,408
[reporter 1] The shock from the attacks
{\an8}in New York and D.C.
188
00:11:40,491 --> 00:11:42,910
-{\an8}reverberate across the entire nation.
-[woman sobbing]
189
00:11:42,993 --> 00:11:45,246
[reporter 2] Our correspondent,
Tanya Riddle, has been told
190
00:11:45,329 --> 00:11:48,374
that state officials are workingto strengthen security all across…
191
00:11:48,457 --> 00:11:50,334
[reporter 3] Officials
at Somerset County Airport
192
00:11:50,418 --> 00:11:53,504
confirm the crash of a large planenorth of that airport.
193
00:11:53,587 --> 00:11:55,923
[reporter 4] The army has been placed
at Prescott, Delta.
194
00:11:56,006 --> 00:11:57,800
[reporter 5] Firefighters
and police officers
195
00:11:57,883 --> 00:11:59,427
are frantically trying to help
196
00:11:59,510 --> 00:12:02,555
those people who have been hurt,who perhaps have not been rescued.
197
00:12:02,638 --> 00:12:04,306
[reporter 6] With tragedy so great,
198
00:12:04,390 --> 00:12:08,936
tonight, a city comes togethersearching for safety and comfort.
199
00:12:09,687 --> 00:12:12,106
[reporter 7] …of a hundred waiting
for their turn
200
00:12:12,189 --> 00:12:14,442
to go into the World Trade Center area.
201
00:12:14,525 --> 00:12:17,862
…the days to come,to the rescue those who may be alive.
202
00:12:17,945 --> 00:12:20,281
So we have, at this point,
203
00:12:20,364 --> 00:12:23,784
well over a thousand peopleconfirmed dead.
204
00:12:23,868 --> 00:12:25,745
The 300 that are missingthat he talked about,
205
00:12:25,828 --> 00:12:27,455
the 800 at the Pentagon,
206
00:12:27,538 --> 00:12:31,709
266 who were on those airplanes today,passengers and crew.
207
00:12:32,293 --> 00:12:35,254
Uh, we're now up to about 1300,
208
00:12:35,337 --> 00:12:37,423
and it is expected to go much higher.
209
00:12:37,506 --> 00:12:41,051
Twenty-four hundred people altogetherwere killed in Pearl Harbor.
210
00:12:41,135 --> 00:12:43,012
They were military personnelfor the most part.
211
00:12:43,095 --> 00:12:45,765
It was a military attackon military installations.
212
00:12:45,848 --> 00:12:46,766
We know who did it.
213
00:12:46,849 --> 00:12:50,644
This is a different kind of a warin a new century.
214
00:12:50,728 --> 00:12:52,730
-[loud rumbling]-[glass shattering]
215
00:12:54,482 --> 00:12:56,901
-[siren wailing]-[woman screaming]
216
00:12:59,403 --> 00:13:01,405
[screaming]
217
00:13:01,489 --> 00:13:02,990
[somber music playing]
218
00:13:05,993 --> 00:13:07,995
[inaudible]
219
00:13:09,205 --> 00:13:10,664
[reporter speaking on TV]
220
00:13:10,748 --> 00:13:12,541
…that involves so many people?
221
00:13:13,083 --> 00:13:16,462
[spokesperson] Well, I think all of that
is going to have to be sifted out.
222
00:13:16,545 --> 00:13:20,090
I think that in the midstof our outrage and anger,
223
00:13:20,174 --> 00:13:22,426
uh, President Bush is right,
224
00:13:22,510 --> 00:13:27,431
we have to show the worldhow we respond to this
225
00:13:27,515 --> 00:13:31,060
uh, both with determination, uh…
226
00:13:31,644 --> 00:13:34,230
-So, what did you tell Kennedy?
-That I'd think about it.
227
00:13:34,313 --> 00:13:37,316
That you're my partner,and I'd have to talk to you.
228
00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:39,068
[woman] Hah. Hmm.
229
00:13:39,151 --> 00:13:40,569
I mean, I know why he asked us.
230
00:13:40,653 --> 00:13:42,947
We're one of five or six firmswith this kind of experience.
231
00:13:43,030 --> 00:13:44,365
If that. If that.
232
00:13:44,448 --> 00:13:46,617
-Yeah. Asbestos, Agent Orange.-Yeah.
233
00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:48,744
Those were hot-button cases too.
234
00:13:49,829 --> 00:13:52,748
Yeah. I'll let you knowhow the committee hearing goes.
235
00:13:52,832 --> 00:13:54,542
-Yeah.-[door opens]
236
00:13:54,625 --> 00:13:55,626
[door closes]
237
00:14:16,188 --> 00:14:17,064
Thanks for coming.
238
00:14:17,147 --> 00:14:19,275
{\an8}-I know Teddy appreciates it.-Sure.
239
00:14:19,358 --> 00:14:21,694
{\an8}We want our best trial lawyers.
240
00:14:21,777 --> 00:14:23,946
{\an8}We'll be needing your supporton this thing.
241
00:14:25,865 --> 00:14:27,533
-Yeah.-Your people okay?
242
00:14:27,616 --> 00:14:29,076
-Kids, family?-Yeah. Yeah.
243
00:14:29,159 --> 00:14:31,328
Mike was at his dorm at NYU.He's all right.
244
00:14:31,829 --> 00:14:33,998
He was shaken up, but, uh… What thing?
245
00:14:34,081 --> 00:14:35,541
A new bill on the floor.
246
00:14:35,624 --> 00:14:39,336
The Air TransportationSafety and System Stabilization Act.
247
00:14:39,420 --> 00:14:42,882
-Wait, they're bailing out the airlines?-More like the whole economy.
248
00:14:44,633 --> 00:14:47,344
If the victims of these attacksor their families
249
00:14:47,428 --> 00:14:51,056
attempt to sue the airline industryfor damages, we will go bankrupt.
250
00:14:51,140 --> 00:14:54,977
And never mind whether they win or not,the legal costs alone…
251
00:14:55,060 --> 00:14:58,647
And that's when we might as welljust hand those terrorists the victory,
252
00:14:59,148 --> 00:15:00,441
because we're paralyzed.
253
00:15:00,524 --> 00:15:02,735
Deliveries, commuter travel.
254
00:15:02,818 --> 00:15:04,778
The whole economy grinding to a halt.
255
00:15:04,862 --> 00:15:07,865
What we're facing is a national emergency.
256
00:15:07,948 --> 00:15:09,199
-Mm-hmm.-[man 1] Lee?
257
00:15:09,283 --> 00:15:10,242
Ken?
258
00:15:10,326 --> 00:15:12,995
-Help us come up with another way.-[man 2] Right.
259
00:15:13,662 --> 00:15:15,998
Ah, brass tacks here.
260
00:15:16,081 --> 00:15:18,959
You're trying to preventlawsuits from the victims.
261
00:15:19,043 --> 00:15:21,337
-That's what they're saying.-That's not what we're saying.
262
00:15:21,420 --> 00:15:22,713
It's called due process.
263
00:15:22,796 --> 00:15:25,883
Limit. We're saying limit civil suitsagainst the airlines.
264
00:15:25,966 --> 00:15:30,220
Denying recourse to the peoplemost impacted by these attacks.
265
00:15:30,304 --> 00:15:31,597
Stop grandstanding.
266
00:15:32,306 --> 00:15:34,433
[man 3] What we're proposingis a treasury fund
267
00:15:34,516 --> 00:15:37,519
offering tort-style compensationto the victims.
268
00:15:37,603 --> 00:15:40,397
For their economic losses,something for pain and suffering.
269
00:15:40,481 --> 00:15:43,442
Yes, but coming from us, Congress,not the courts.
270
00:15:44,234 --> 00:15:46,779
And in exchange,the claimants promise not to sue.
271
00:15:46,862 --> 00:15:48,906
-Corporate bailout.-Chrissakes, Lee.
272
00:15:48,989 --> 00:15:51,033
-[people murmuring]-What, you're calling it charity?
273
00:15:51,116 --> 00:15:53,619
Yes. Government-sponsored charity.
274
00:15:53,702 --> 00:15:55,496
With strings attached?
275
00:15:56,664 --> 00:15:58,248
Ken, help me out here.
276
00:15:58,874 --> 00:16:00,709
A lawsuit could take decades.
277
00:16:00,793 --> 00:16:01,794
[man 1] Yes.
278
00:16:02,378 --> 00:16:04,296
After it crashes the economy.
279
00:16:05,172 --> 00:16:06,966
And the victims might still lose.
280
00:16:07,049 --> 00:16:10,094
This is for their own good,and the nation's.
281
00:16:10,177 --> 00:16:12,179
-[people murmuring]-[Lee scoffs]
282
00:16:14,682 --> 00:16:16,141
Yeah. How many, uh…
283
00:16:16,850 --> 00:16:18,477
How many victims are there?
284
00:16:21,188 --> 00:16:23,399
Well, we don't really know yet.
285
00:16:26,193 --> 00:16:30,030
A special master we selectwill have to negotiate all settlements.
286
00:16:30,114 --> 00:16:31,865
[man 3] A flat fee wouldbe another option.
287
00:16:31,949 --> 00:16:34,159
The same dollar valuefor every loss of life.
288
00:16:34,243 --> 00:16:38,706
But those towers had CEOs and janitors.
289
00:16:39,331 --> 00:16:41,333
They won't all say yes to the same number.
290
00:16:41,917 --> 00:16:43,210
[man 1] And even if they did,
291
00:16:43,293 --> 00:16:46,463
anybody wanna go on recordwith what that number is?
292
00:16:49,008 --> 00:16:52,845
Yeah, well, pretty soon somebody'sgonna have to do the vulgar work
293
00:16:52,928 --> 00:16:54,722
of putting numbers on a check.
294
00:17:01,603 --> 00:17:05,899
So you're saying, what,you wanna do this job?
295
00:17:07,109 --> 00:17:08,444
Well, no, I mean…
296
00:17:08,527 --> 00:17:12,906
Well, I mean,we're discussing it right now, so…
297
00:17:15,159 --> 00:17:18,245
Look, you're telling meyou're not sick about it,
298
00:17:18,328 --> 00:17:19,830
watching all this on TV?
299
00:17:21,373 --> 00:17:23,625
-Of course I'm sick about it.-Well…
300
00:17:24,168 --> 00:17:28,088
Well, it's just tough stuff, Kenny.
301
00:17:28,172 --> 00:17:30,382
I know, I know. It is very tough, yeah.
302
00:17:30,466 --> 00:17:32,926
[woman] And you're not exactly…
303
00:17:33,010 --> 00:17:33,844
What?
304
00:17:34,344 --> 00:17:37,473
You're not a rabbi or a priest,you're a lawyer.
305
00:17:37,556 --> 00:17:40,434
I know. And that's exactlywhat these people need right now.
306
00:17:41,018 --> 00:17:44,063
There's a process here, you know.I hire a team,
307
00:17:44,146 --> 00:17:47,066
I draft an objective formula,
308
00:17:47,149 --> 00:17:49,526
and I dispense reasonable payments.
309
00:17:49,610 --> 00:17:50,569
Just like that?
310
00:17:50,652 --> 00:17:54,156
[Ken] Yeah, it's no differentthan my previous cases in that regard.
311
00:17:54,239 --> 00:17:57,659
Look, this is something I'm good at.
312
00:17:58,619 --> 00:17:59,745
This is something…
313
00:18:01,789 --> 00:18:03,874
This is something I can do to help.
314
00:18:06,210 --> 00:18:07,419
[elevator button clicks]
315
00:18:13,675 --> 00:18:15,094
[elevator dings]
316
00:18:15,177 --> 00:18:19,056
Judge Weinstein told mehow you reached a settlement on DES.
317
00:18:19,890 --> 00:18:21,934
Ten years of courthouse war.
318
00:18:22,434 --> 00:18:24,394
You brought both sides to a motel room,
319
00:18:24,478 --> 00:18:26,355
told them they could stayas long as they wanted,
320
00:18:26,438 --> 00:18:29,066
but they couldn't leaveuntil they reached a settlement.
321
00:18:29,149 --> 00:18:30,901
-Is that really true?-It is.
322
00:18:30,984 --> 00:18:33,612
-I did let them order room service.-[both laugh]
323
00:18:33,695 --> 00:18:36,073
You know, Attorney General, I…
324
00:18:37,282 --> 00:18:38,700
People are rational animals.
325
00:18:38,784 --> 00:18:41,370
I find if you…if you force them to the table,
326
00:18:41,453 --> 00:18:44,164
most behave in a waythat makes the most sense.
327
00:18:45,207 --> 00:18:47,376
It's hard to believeyou live in Washington.
328
00:18:47,459 --> 00:18:50,879
Well, in politics, uh, conflict sells.
329
00:18:50,963 --> 00:18:53,715
I find that what works best is compromise.
330
00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:56,135
No one walks away too happy,
331
00:18:56,218 --> 00:18:58,053
just happy enough to walk away.
332
00:18:58,804 --> 00:19:01,974
And when you walk away today,what outcome makes you happy enough?
333
00:19:03,058 --> 00:19:04,893
I'd like to have the job, John.
334
00:19:05,978 --> 00:19:07,437
[John] No one wants this job.
335
00:19:08,397 --> 00:19:12,359
[smacks lips] Well, that narrows downyour options.
336
00:19:13,569 --> 00:19:15,154
[laughs]
337
00:19:15,237 --> 00:19:16,613
I suppose it does.
338
00:19:17,531 --> 00:19:19,908
Except that you're a Democrat,
339
00:19:20,617 --> 00:19:23,829
Teddy's former chief of staff.Did you hope I'd overlook that?
340
00:19:23,912 --> 00:19:26,832
Well, I was hopingyou could see that as a good thing.
341
00:19:26,915 --> 00:19:29,376
I mean, you said yourself,this is a hot potato.
342
00:19:29,459 --> 00:19:31,795
You know if you give it to an insider,
343
00:19:31,879 --> 00:19:35,174
you know, a party manor friend of the president, then…
344
00:19:35,257 --> 00:19:37,467
-They'll blame us if it fails.-Right.
345
00:19:39,136 --> 00:19:41,638
Pick me, it's the opposition's fault.
346
00:19:42,389 --> 00:19:44,600
Unless for some reason, you know,
347
00:19:44,683 --> 00:19:47,102
by some miracle, I pull this off,in which case…
348
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:48,520
Don't we look open-minded,
349
00:19:48,604 --> 00:19:51,106
reaching all the wayacross the aisle to find you.
350
00:19:52,149 --> 00:19:55,861
It is felt, and I'm speakingfor the White House here,
351
00:19:55,944 --> 00:19:59,823
that for the programto succeed in staving off
352
00:19:59,907 --> 00:20:02,868
a full-on economic cataclysm,
353
00:20:03,410 --> 00:20:07,956
no fewer than 80%of eligible claimants must opt in.
354
00:20:08,582 --> 00:20:11,835
That means voluntarily choose not to sue.
355
00:20:12,711 --> 00:20:14,630
Uh, that shouldn't be a problem.
356
00:20:16,465 --> 00:20:18,717
Well, congratulations, Special Master.
357
00:20:19,843 --> 00:20:22,429
-You got any more surprises for me?-Yeah.
358
00:20:23,222 --> 00:20:24,765
I'd like to work for free.
359
00:20:26,099 --> 00:20:29,186
Uh, hey, everyone come in here for just a…
360
00:20:29,728 --> 00:20:32,731
Uh, Camille and I want to thank you
361
00:20:32,814 --> 00:20:36,526
for shouldering the firm'sday-to-day responsibilities
362
00:20:36,610 --> 00:20:40,405
while we devote our time to this pro bono.
363
00:20:40,989 --> 00:20:44,910
Uh, it's not gonna be easy,and we sure welcome all of your help.
364
00:20:44,993 --> 00:20:48,664
But if we do our jobthe way I know we can,
365
00:20:48,747 --> 00:20:52,417
well, we just might make a difference.
366
00:20:53,126 --> 00:20:55,963
So thank you. And, uh… Thank you.
367
00:20:56,046 --> 00:20:57,589
[all applauding]
368
00:20:57,673 --> 00:20:59,675
[indistinct chatter]
369
00:21:00,884 --> 00:21:01,843
[Ken] Thanks again.
370
00:21:03,512 --> 00:21:05,514
[woman breathes deeply]
371
00:21:06,598 --> 00:21:10,936
This is you psyching yourself up,or considering a quick escape?
372
00:21:12,437 --> 00:21:14,856
When's the last timeI took on something I couldn't handle?
373
00:21:14,940 --> 00:21:18,318
-Well, Brockton track meet, 1961.-[Ken scoffs]
374
00:21:18,402 --> 00:21:19,403
I came in second.
375
00:21:19,486 --> 00:21:21,363
And you still remember who beat you.
376
00:21:21,446 --> 00:21:22,447
Phil Leonardo.
377
00:21:22,531 --> 00:21:24,324
And I was robbed, by the way.
378
00:21:26,576 --> 00:21:28,578
You don't know how to lose, Kenny.
379
00:21:29,454 --> 00:21:31,873
Yeah, well, this one's, you know,
380
00:21:33,250 --> 00:21:34,584
not that kind of case.
381
00:21:35,711 --> 00:21:37,170
There is no winning.
382
00:21:37,254 --> 00:21:38,839
That's what I'm afraid of.
383
00:21:39,589 --> 00:21:41,383
[Gloria] Ken. Call for you.
384
00:21:41,883 --> 00:21:43,343
It's the president.
385
00:21:47,222 --> 00:21:48,223
Wanna take it here?
386
00:21:48,307 --> 00:21:49,558
-Yeah.-[Gloria] Line one.
387
00:21:50,809 --> 00:21:52,144
[people shushing]
388
00:21:52,227 --> 00:21:54,104
Yeah, this is Ken Feinberg.
389
00:21:54,187 --> 00:21:55,981
[woman on phone]
Please hold for the president.
390
00:21:56,064 --> 00:21:58,233
-[line rings]-Well… Hello, Mr. President.
391
00:21:58,317 --> 00:22:01,320
-[President] Ken? Is this Ken Feinberg?
-Yeah.
392
00:22:01,403 --> 00:22:03,572
[President] Ken, I wanna
congratulate you on this thing.
393
00:22:03,655 --> 00:22:05,824
-Yeah. Yeah, Ashcroft was impressed.
-Well--
394
00:22:05,907 --> 00:22:08,618
[President] Listen, you're taking
the heat on this, okay?
395
00:22:08,702 --> 00:22:11,747
Now, I would not wish this jobon my worst enemy.
396
00:22:11,830 --> 00:22:14,041
They tell me you're type of guythat takes no prisoners.
397
00:22:14,124 --> 00:22:15,751
-[laughs] Well---[President laughs]
398
00:22:15,834 --> 00:22:18,211
[President] I'm kidding you, counselor.
I like to josh.
399
00:22:18,295 --> 00:22:19,838
-Did I scare you off?
-No, sir.
400
00:22:20,714 --> 00:22:22,215
No, no, sir. I'm still here.
401
00:22:22,299 --> 00:22:23,925
[President] No, there you are. Okay, good.
402
00:22:24,009 --> 00:22:27,012
Well, thank you, Mr. President.Thank you very much.
403
00:22:27,095 --> 00:22:29,097
And, look, you won't regret this.
404
00:22:29,598 --> 00:22:30,724
[President] Sure hope not.
405
00:22:30,807 --> 00:22:31,892
[hangs up]
406
00:22:32,517 --> 00:22:33,518
Okay.
407
00:22:36,229 --> 00:22:37,272
[receiver clatters]
408
00:22:42,110 --> 00:22:44,112
[all laugh]
409
00:22:47,866 --> 00:22:49,868
[waves crashing]
410
00:22:50,786 --> 00:22:52,788
[seagulls cawing]
411
00:22:52,871 --> 00:22:54,873
[instrumental music playing]
412
00:23:16,395 --> 00:23:18,397
[music continues]
413
00:23:21,191 --> 00:23:22,818
[footsteps approaching]
414
00:23:35,372 --> 00:23:37,374
[breathes deeply]
415
00:23:38,291 --> 00:23:39,793
[sighs, clears throat]
416
00:23:42,963 --> 00:23:44,965
[indistinct chatter]
417
00:23:54,266 --> 00:23:56,435
-[Ken] Morning.-[woman] Good morning.
418
00:23:56,518 --> 00:23:59,771
Ah, I assume you've all met,but this is Priya Khundi.
419
00:24:00,272 --> 00:24:03,525
Priya graduated firstin my class last year, Georgetown.
420
00:24:04,192 --> 00:24:06,903
And after she passed the bar,I offered her a place here,
421
00:24:06,987 --> 00:24:10,115
but she, very politely, turned me down
422
00:24:10,907 --> 00:24:13,076
for a big, fancy companydown on Wall Street.
423
00:24:13,618 --> 00:24:17,414
Their main officewas on the 98th floor of the North Tower.
424
00:24:18,039 --> 00:24:20,792
-Ah.-[Ken] So we're very lucky to have her.
425
00:24:22,169 --> 00:24:23,920
Do you all have copies of the statute?
426
00:24:24,004 --> 00:24:25,922
H.R.2926,
427
00:24:26,006 --> 00:24:29,634
the Airline TransportationSafety and System Stabilization Act.
428
00:24:29,718 --> 00:24:32,137
Okay, who's read it?Great.
429
00:24:32,220 --> 00:24:33,972
-Did it take you long?-[Darryl] Not really.
430
00:24:34,055 --> 00:24:36,266
-You wanna know why?-Because it's short?
431
00:24:36,349 --> 00:24:40,187
Uh, yeah, thatand there's no law in this law.
432
00:24:40,270 --> 00:24:43,732
What it says is the victimsand their families will be compensated
433
00:24:43,815 --> 00:24:46,776
based on economic value lost.
434
00:24:46,860 --> 00:24:51,031
What that means,they left up to the special master. Us.
435
00:24:51,114 --> 00:24:53,241
It's up to us to write the rules.
436
00:24:53,325 --> 00:24:55,202
Ken and I have done it in other cases
437
00:24:55,285 --> 00:24:57,871
and it is always messy,so get ready for it.
438
00:24:58,538 --> 00:25:01,917
Like, who's eligible?Who gets how much? Where we draw the line?
439
00:25:02,626 --> 00:25:03,710
Where do we start?
440
00:25:08,632 --> 00:25:10,300
Eighty percent, Priya.
441
00:25:10,383 --> 00:25:12,052
[Camille] That's our target from the DOJ.
442
00:25:12,135 --> 00:25:14,346
[Ken] If we don't hit that number,the plan won't work.
443
00:25:14,429 --> 00:25:16,056
Any fewer claimants come aboard,
444
00:25:16,139 --> 00:25:19,184
the lawsuits that resultcould crater the economy.
445
00:25:19,267 --> 00:25:21,520
-So we're told.-No pressure, people.
446
00:25:21,603 --> 00:25:22,812
[Camille chuckles]
447
00:25:22,896 --> 00:25:25,649
For every claimant,we'll need to calculate a dollar value
448
00:25:25,732 --> 00:25:28,985
for the human loss,whether it's loss of limb or loss of life.
449
00:25:29,069 --> 00:25:32,489
Most of the people who died that daywere providers for their families.
450
00:25:33,031 --> 00:25:34,366
We can't bring them back,
451
00:25:34,449 --> 00:25:36,910
but we can help their loved onespay their bills.
452
00:25:36,993 --> 00:25:38,286
Now you people understand
453
00:25:38,370 --> 00:25:42,249
we're not gonna be able to haggleevery case subjectively.
454
00:25:42,332 --> 00:25:44,376
That's where the math comes in.
455
00:25:44,459 --> 00:25:47,087
So we're, uh, we're gonna need a rubric.
456
00:25:47,837 --> 00:25:49,673
[Camille] These are the latestactuarial tables
457
00:25:49,756 --> 00:25:52,592
from the top casualtyin life insurance companies.
458
00:25:52,676 --> 00:25:55,262
We'll use these numbers as a basis.
459
00:25:55,345 --> 00:25:57,305
Here, you guys study up on these
460
00:25:57,389 --> 00:25:59,808
and help Camille come up with a proposal.
461
00:26:00,642 --> 00:26:05,063
Okay, so West Street, South Ferry,
462
00:26:05,897 --> 00:26:07,232
Lower Broadway,
463
00:26:08,191 --> 00:26:09,985
and Canal Street.
464
00:26:10,068 --> 00:26:11,611
[Darryl] Okay, here's one.
465
00:26:12,112 --> 00:26:15,240
What if there are multiple dependents?How do we decide who gets the money?
466
00:26:15,323 --> 00:26:16,950
Where there's a will, we follow it.
467
00:26:17,033 --> 00:26:19,619
-[Darryl] And where there isn't one?-We follow the state law.
468
00:26:19,703 --> 00:26:22,038
The state they died in,or the state they came from?
469
00:26:22,122 --> 00:26:25,208
-[Camille] The state of residence.-[Darryl] What about domestic partners?
470
00:26:25,292 --> 00:26:26,543
What do we do about them?
471
00:26:29,087 --> 00:26:30,714
[Camille] Let's talk about the deadline.
472
00:26:31,298 --> 00:26:34,426
The statute gives us two yearsand a month from today.
473
00:26:34,509 --> 00:26:37,637
That's December 22nd, 2003.
474
00:26:37,721 --> 00:26:39,014
That feels short.
475
00:26:39,097 --> 00:26:42,350
-Well, not for families in grief.-[Priya] We could file for an extension.
476
00:26:42,434 --> 00:26:44,769
Ah-ah-ah. Don't you dare. No, no, no.
477
00:26:44,853 --> 00:26:48,773
If we extend it, they'll hemand they'll haw, and they won't act.
478
00:26:48,857 --> 00:26:51,026
Deadline is our friend here.
479
00:26:53,153 --> 00:26:56,406
Okay, what are we forgetting?
480
00:26:57,198 --> 00:26:58,450
[Camille] Their names.
481
00:26:58,533 --> 00:27:01,578
So far, we have a dozen lists,but nothing comprehensive.
482
00:27:01,661 --> 00:27:05,790
The flight manifests and the Pentagon,those are the easy ones.
483
00:27:06,291 --> 00:27:08,460
NYPD and FDNY, they have lists.
484
00:27:08,543 --> 00:27:12,130
The big companies like Cantor Fitzgerald,they're putting some lists together,
485
00:27:12,213 --> 00:27:15,967
but as for the recordsof who passed through the doors that day…
486
00:27:16,051 --> 00:27:17,135
They're all gone.
487
00:27:17,218 --> 00:27:19,554
We don't even knowhow many names we're looking for.
488
00:28:22,784 --> 00:28:24,786
[somber music playing]
489
00:28:32,502 --> 00:28:34,295
[music continues]
490
00:28:34,379 --> 00:28:36,381
[bells tolling]
491
00:29:17,088 --> 00:29:19,090
[music continues]
492
00:30:03,551 --> 00:30:05,553
[indistinct chatter]
493
00:30:12,602 --> 00:30:15,146
Relax.We've done this kind of thing before.
494
00:30:15,230 --> 00:30:18,691
No, this one is raw.Those aren't lawyers out there.
495
00:30:18,775 --> 00:30:20,443
Good, I can't stand lawyers.
496
00:30:21,236 --> 00:30:23,279
What are you, running for office?
497
00:30:23,363 --> 00:30:25,615
Come on, be a person, not a politician.
498
00:30:25,698 --> 00:30:26,741
Mmm.
499
00:30:28,785 --> 00:30:29,619
Thank you.
500
00:30:30,119 --> 00:30:32,330
-[Camille] Okay. Good luck.-[Ken] Thank you.
501
00:30:47,804 --> 00:30:48,847
Good afternoon.
502
00:30:49,556 --> 00:30:51,015
Uh, thank you for coming.
503
00:30:51,099 --> 00:30:53,601
Uh, as you may know,I am Kenneth Feinberg.
504
00:30:53,685 --> 00:30:55,311
I am the special master
505
00:30:55,979 --> 00:31:01,109
of the September 11thVictim Compensation Fund.
506
00:31:01,609 --> 00:31:05,446
Um, I would like today to tell you--
507
00:31:05,530 --> 00:31:06,948
[woman 1 sobbing]
508
00:31:09,075 --> 00:31:13,746
Um, I'd… I'd like to tell youhow the 9/11 fund will work.
509
00:31:13,830 --> 00:31:18,126
You've all been given copies of this,the presumptive claims formula.
510
00:31:18,209 --> 00:31:19,043
[woman 2] Yes.
511
00:31:19,127 --> 00:31:21,254
Um, and quite soon,
512
00:31:21,337 --> 00:31:25,842
we'll be sending this along to Congressfor a comment period.
513
00:31:26,509 --> 00:31:27,343
[woman 3] What?
514
00:31:27,427 --> 00:31:30,471
[Ken] Upon approval,there will be no further changes.
515
00:31:30,555 --> 00:31:32,515
-[man 1] Mr. Feinberg?-[woman 4] I got a question.
516
00:31:32,599 --> 00:31:34,183
-I'm sorry.-[woman 4] I got a question.
517
00:31:34,267 --> 00:31:37,270
[Ken] If you could hold your questionstill after my remarks.
518
00:31:37,812 --> 00:31:42,692
Now, I'd ask you to refer to the tableat the top of page two.
519
00:31:43,526 --> 00:31:45,361
[people murmuring]
520
00:31:46,362 --> 00:31:50,116
So as you can see, the formulais actually fairly streamlined.
521
00:31:50,199 --> 00:31:51,367
[man 2] Why do we need one?
522
00:31:51,451 --> 00:31:54,370
-Please just hold your question.-Why do we need a formula?
523
00:31:54,454 --> 00:31:55,580
[all] Yeah.
524
00:31:55,663 --> 00:31:57,665
[man 2] Why isn't it equal paymentfor everybody?
525
00:31:57,749 --> 00:31:58,833
[all] Yeah!
526
00:31:58,917 --> 00:32:02,253
My daughter's life was worth just as muchas anybody in a corner office.
527
00:32:03,004 --> 00:32:06,507
Unfortunately, that aspect of the lawhas been out of our control.
528
00:32:07,133 --> 00:32:08,843
My boy was a firefighter.
529
00:32:09,928 --> 00:32:12,096
Was he… Was he worth less
530
00:32:12,931 --> 00:32:16,809
than the… than the guy pushing pencilsand trading stock?
531
00:32:16,893 --> 00:32:18,478
-[all agreeing, applauding]-No.
532
00:32:18,561 --> 00:32:20,563
[people murmuring]
533
00:32:21,439 --> 00:32:23,858
Certainly not… not as a human being, no.
534
00:32:23,942 --> 00:32:25,860
Their… Their lives ended the same way.
535
00:32:25,944 --> 00:32:27,820
But their mortgages did differ.
536
00:32:27,904 --> 00:32:29,030
[man 3] How dare you!
537
00:32:29,113 --> 00:32:31,866
[man 4] He's just trying to shut us upso we don't sue.
538
00:32:32,742 --> 00:32:33,910
-[man] Hi.-Hi.
539
00:32:33,993 --> 00:32:36,788
-Have they… Has it started already?-[Priya] They're just starting.
540
00:32:36,871 --> 00:32:39,082
-[man] Good, okay.-Would you like a claims form?
541
00:32:39,165 --> 00:32:42,001
Uh, no, I have my own.I printed it off the web.
542
00:32:42,085 --> 00:32:45,171
And there's a typo on page threethat you should know about.
543
00:32:45,254 --> 00:32:47,006
-And also, there are…-Okay.
544
00:32:47,590 --> 00:32:49,926
-[man] I should sign in here, right?-[Priya] Yes, please do.
545
00:32:53,179 --> 00:32:55,890
[man] There… And there are more issuesthat need to be addressed.
546
00:32:55,974 --> 00:32:58,476
They're substantive, okay.And they need to be addressed.
547
00:32:58,559 --> 00:32:59,477
[Priya] Okay.
548
00:33:00,353 --> 00:33:01,562
[people applauding]
549
00:33:01,646 --> 00:33:03,690
[clamoring]
550
00:33:03,773 --> 00:33:06,484
[Ken] I mean…Look, as a legal professional,
551
00:33:06,567 --> 00:33:09,153
I know chasing a lawsuit is a big mistake.
552
00:33:09,237 --> 00:33:10,989
-Did you lose anybody?-[Ken] Look--
553
00:33:11,072 --> 00:33:14,325
-Did you lose anybody in your family?-[Ken] I just… Let me explain.
554
00:33:14,409 --> 00:33:20,164
Congress mandatedthat I calculate the economic value.
555
00:33:20,248 --> 00:33:22,208
-[people murmuring]-[Ken] Economical.
556
00:33:22,291 --> 00:33:23,418
Please.
557
00:33:23,501 --> 00:33:25,253
[man 1] You're just afraid of being sued.
558
00:33:25,336 --> 00:33:27,088
-I understand how it is.-[uproar]
559
00:33:27,171 --> 00:33:29,257
-Understand?-[Ken] Look, please.
560
00:33:29,757 --> 00:33:32,719
-What I mean is, I sympathize.-Who did you lose?
561
00:33:32,802 --> 00:33:35,013
[Ken] Listen, as a legal professional,I will tell you,
562
00:33:35,096 --> 00:33:36,973
it will be years in court.
563
00:33:37,056 --> 00:33:38,975
You might win, you might not.
564
00:33:39,642 --> 00:33:42,020
This is fast money and it's tax-free.
565
00:33:42,603 --> 00:33:44,147
Put your thinking caps on.
566
00:33:44,230 --> 00:33:46,149
This is the only game in town.
567
00:33:46,232 --> 00:33:48,568
-[man 1] How dare you!-You think this is a game?
568
00:33:49,068 --> 00:33:50,862
-[Ken] I'm sorry.-[man 2] This isn't a game!
569
00:33:50,945 --> 00:33:53,740
-[woman 1] What do you know about law?-[man 2] Who do you think you are?
570
00:33:53,823 --> 00:33:56,284
We lost brothers.Now they sent some Jew lawyer…
571
00:33:56,367 --> 00:33:58,369
[all clamoring]
572
00:33:59,203 --> 00:34:02,707
I wish… I wish we could spit on your gravethe way you spit on ours.
573
00:34:02,790 --> 00:34:04,959
-Please.-[man 3] Wait, everyone. Wait, wait.
574
00:34:05,043 --> 00:34:08,629
This man, he did not cause our situation.
575
00:34:09,297 --> 00:34:14,218
He's here to tell us how the governmentintends to deal with it.
576
00:34:14,302 --> 00:34:17,430
And I for onewould just like to hear him out.
577
00:34:18,806 --> 00:34:19,640
[Ken] Thank you.
578
00:34:19,724 --> 00:34:20,725
Thank you.
579
00:34:21,559 --> 00:34:23,102
Thank you. And I… I was…
580
00:34:23,186 --> 00:34:27,065
Uh, look, as I was…
581
00:34:27,565 --> 00:34:30,568
This meeting is only…
582
00:34:30,651 --> 00:34:33,738
It's purely introductory, that's it.
583
00:34:33,821 --> 00:34:37,366
Any questions you havethat aren't answered in the pamphlet,
584
00:34:37,450 --> 00:34:41,037
well, I will make my staff availablefor private hearings
585
00:34:41,829 --> 00:34:46,250
every business daybetween now and the filing deadline.
586
00:34:46,334 --> 00:34:48,336
[people murmuring]
587
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:53,925
[Ken] What do you think?
588
00:34:54,008 --> 00:34:56,844
Maybe a poor choice of wordshere and there.
589
00:34:57,345 --> 00:34:58,304
Here and there?
590
00:34:59,388 --> 00:35:00,765
-[Darryl] Camille?-Yeah.
591
00:35:00,848 --> 00:35:03,309
-We need to get back to the office.-Mr. Feinberg?
592
00:35:03,810 --> 00:35:06,145
-Mr. Feinberg, give me a minute, please?-Yeah?
593
00:35:07,146 --> 00:35:09,273
I'm Frank Donato. I'm sorry to bother you.
594
00:35:09,357 --> 00:35:10,733
No, not at all. Not at all.
595
00:35:10,817 --> 00:35:12,318
Hi, Ken Feinberg.
596
00:35:12,985 --> 00:35:14,821
What happened there? Did you break that?
597
00:35:14,904 --> 00:35:16,614
My son, Andy, broke his last year.
598
00:35:16,697 --> 00:35:17,698
Rugby injury.
599
00:35:19,742 --> 00:35:20,785
South Tower.
600
00:35:22,245 --> 00:35:24,247
[man] Yeah, I'm just curiousabout this number.
601
00:35:24,330 --> 00:35:25,206
[Camille] Sure.
602
00:35:25,289 --> 00:35:28,459
Jeez. Thank you for… for your courage.
603
00:35:28,543 --> 00:35:32,046
[Frank] My brother, too, Nick. Nicholas.Same line of company.
604
00:35:32,547 --> 00:35:34,090
Ah. Is he here?
605
00:35:38,261 --> 00:35:39,095
Well…
606
00:35:40,054 --> 00:35:41,139
Gosh, I'm sorry.
607
00:35:41,639 --> 00:35:45,143
[Frank] Yeah. I, uh, I lost track of himafter the first one fell,
608
00:35:45,226 --> 00:35:47,687
and the captain sayshe went back in to help.
609
00:35:48,396 --> 00:35:49,313
[Ken] Well, that…
610
00:35:50,064 --> 00:35:51,440
That takes a hero.
611
00:35:51,524 --> 00:35:53,651
[Frank] Yeah. Except there wasn't any use.
612
00:35:54,235 --> 00:35:57,697
I mean, the engineers, they knewthe second one was coming down.
613
00:35:57,780 --> 00:36:01,701
They told PD to call out evacs,but our radios, they're garbage.
614
00:36:02,326 --> 00:36:06,497
They hardly work in high-rise buildings,if you believe that, in New York City.
615
00:36:06,581 --> 00:36:09,375
Look, we've been filingthe same damn reports for years,
616
00:36:09,458 --> 00:36:11,752
and you can guesswhere they tell us to shove 'em.
617
00:36:11,836 --> 00:36:14,672
That's why things went so sidewayslike they did, negligence,
618
00:36:14,755 --> 00:36:16,215
top-down, cheap, fucking…
619
00:36:18,843 --> 00:36:20,303
-Sorry.-[Ken] It's all right.
620
00:36:20,803 --> 00:36:24,891
When you file your report, whatever it isthat you do at the end of this,
621
00:36:24,974 --> 00:36:27,852
I want Nicky's story in it,to make sure they change things,
622
00:36:27,935 --> 00:36:30,730
so that it don't ever happenthis way again. Can you do that?
623
00:36:30,813 --> 00:36:32,565
-Well---[Frank] Can you promise me?
624
00:36:32,648 --> 00:36:35,568
-We can certainly look into---[Frank] Not just talk.
625
00:36:36,068 --> 00:36:37,403
I want it to change.
626
00:36:37,904 --> 00:36:39,197
That's why I'm here.
627
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,157
-Why I'm still here.-[Ken] I understand.
628
00:36:41,240 --> 00:36:44,160
-Believe that.-Can you hold? Camille.
629
00:36:44,243 --> 00:36:45,661
Can you come over here?
630
00:36:47,205 --> 00:36:50,124
-Frank, this is Camille Biros.-[Camille] Hi.
631
00:36:50,208 --> 00:36:51,751
[Ken] She's my deputy administrator.
632
00:36:51,834 --> 00:36:54,712
And if you talk to her,she can explain the whole process.
633
00:36:54,795 --> 00:36:57,423
No, I don't need to hear anything else.I just…
634
00:36:58,132 --> 00:37:00,676
I need you to give me your wordon this thing.
635
00:37:01,177 --> 00:37:02,053
Ken.
636
00:37:02,762 --> 00:37:04,180
Then me and my wife,
637
00:37:04,263 --> 00:37:07,558
Nicky's widow, our whole family,we'll sign up for your fund, no problem.
638
00:37:09,143 --> 00:37:12,355
Yeah. Well, we're certainlygoing to take a look at it.
639
00:37:19,904 --> 00:37:21,989
[man] Website at the bottom.First meeting tomorrow.
640
00:37:22,531 --> 00:37:24,575
There you go, folks.First meeting tomorrow.
641
00:37:24,659 --> 00:37:26,744
-Yeah.-[man] First meeting. Would you like one?
642
00:37:29,538 --> 00:37:32,041
There you go.First meeting is tomorrow, if you'd like.
643
00:37:32,124 --> 00:37:35,628
So Fix The Fund. Here you are.Take a few of these, hand them out.
644
00:37:35,711 --> 00:37:37,255
We need to talk about this.
645
00:37:37,338 --> 00:37:39,006
[Ken] Yeah, not now though.
646
00:37:39,090 --> 00:37:40,675
Website on the bottom, okay?
647
00:37:41,175 --> 00:37:42,885
-[Ken] Hello.-Oh, hi. How are you?
648
00:37:42,969 --> 00:37:45,596
Hey, I wanna thank youfor your help back there.
649
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,056
-Oh.-[Ken] I gotta tell you, I was…
650
00:37:47,139 --> 00:37:49,809
Here you are. Website at the bottom.First meeting is tomorrow.
651
00:37:49,892 --> 00:37:52,478
…a little worried when you stood up.I'm glad you did.
652
00:37:52,561 --> 00:37:55,439
Oh, well, I believe in civility,Mr. Feinberg.
653
00:37:55,523 --> 00:37:56,941
-[Ken] Yeah.-Charles Wolf.
654
00:37:57,024 --> 00:37:58,901
And you'll be seeing a lot of me.
655
00:37:58,985 --> 00:38:00,528
Oh, good to know. And it's Ken.
656
00:38:00,611 --> 00:38:03,364
I think you'll findthat I'm one of your harshest critics.
657
00:38:04,073 --> 00:38:05,700
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
658
00:38:05,783 --> 00:38:07,493
Well, my wife died that day,
659
00:38:07,994 --> 00:38:10,496
and everything about this formulaoffends me.
660
00:38:10,579 --> 00:38:11,580
[Ken] Oh.
661
00:38:11,664 --> 00:38:14,542
Here you go. Take one of those.And I'll give you one too.
662
00:38:14,625 --> 00:38:16,711
I've set up a page on the World Wide Web.
663
00:38:16,794 --> 00:38:18,129
Website's there at the bottom.
664
00:38:18,212 --> 00:38:20,965
It's called Fix The Fund.And here you go. Fix The Fund.
665
00:38:21,507 --> 00:38:25,970
There you go. There's two there.And, um, if you'd like to visit it
666
00:38:26,053 --> 00:38:28,848
and come to our meeting,we have the first meeting, uh, tomorrow…
667
00:38:28,931 --> 00:38:30,182
Here you go. Take that please.
668
00:38:30,266 --> 00:38:32,268
And we'd… I'd love it if you would attend.
669
00:38:32,351 --> 00:38:33,686
Also, I have this for you.
670
00:38:33,769 --> 00:38:36,689
This is something…And there are a number of notes
671
00:38:36,772 --> 00:38:39,734
and corrections and things.It's important you address those.
672
00:38:39,817 --> 00:38:41,444
Here you are. Take these, folks.
673
00:38:41,527 --> 00:38:44,989
Take a look at the website on the bottom.There's a couple of them there for you.
674
00:38:45,072 --> 00:38:46,741
-Nice to meet you.-[Charles] All right.
675
00:38:46,824 --> 00:38:47,950
Fix The Fund.
676
00:38:48,451 --> 00:38:51,287
-We're not gonna rewrite the formula.-They don't trust us.
677
00:38:51,370 --> 00:38:53,289
They don't understandthis is for their own good.
678
00:38:53,372 --> 00:38:56,584
The airlines would bury them in litigationuntil they had nothing left.
679
00:38:56,667 --> 00:38:58,377
You think I don't know that?
680
00:38:58,878 --> 00:39:01,797
[sighs] This is different.Didn't you feel it in there?
681
00:39:01,881 --> 00:39:04,133
Our other cases like this,Agent Orange, Asbestos,
682
00:39:04,216 --> 00:39:06,761
those were settled after years in court.People had moved on.
683
00:39:06,844 --> 00:39:08,387
These people aren't there yet.
684
00:39:08,471 --> 00:39:10,639
Camille, they're emotional right now.
685
00:39:10,723 --> 00:39:13,184
We need to be objective toward them.That's all.
686
00:39:13,267 --> 00:39:15,478
-[horn honks]-[man] Hey, that's for you, Feinberg!
687
00:39:16,562 --> 00:39:17,730
[car revs]
688

00:39:20,775 --> 00:39:21,650

[Camille] {\an8}Families got in last night.
694
00:40:16,872 --> 00:40:20,543
Cleary Gottlieb helped us outwith the immigration status and the INS,
695
00:40:20,626 --> 00:40:22,586
so we'll use their conference room.
696
00:40:22,670 --> 00:40:23,671
[elevator dings]
697
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:28,634
Coming?

[laughs]
701
00:40:38,144 --> 00:40:42,690
Sorry, it's just, you know,small spaces these days, and heights.
702
00:40:43,607 --> 00:40:45,401
I'll be fine. It's…
703
00:40:46,193 --> 00:40:47,194
[clears throat]
704

[breathes deeply]
705
00:40:51,157 --> 00:40:54,243
I know you've been informed,but I wanna reassure you
706
00:40:54,326 --> 00:40:56,704
that your citizenshipor your immigration status
707
00:40:56,787 --> 00:41:00,082
will have absolutely no effecton our process here today.
708
00:41:00,166 --> 00:41:03,085
Everything you tell uswill be kept strictly confidential.
709

[people murmuring]
711
00:41:34,450 --> 00:41:38,037
[man] We're all looking at your tablesand not liking what we're seeing.
712
00:41:38,537 --> 00:41:41,040
You're only factoring inyearly compensation.
713
00:41:41,123 --> 00:41:44,251
What about commissions, bonuses?We represent high-worth individuals.
714
00:41:44,335 --> 00:41:47,421
That kind of income comes and goes.There's no guarantees with that.
715
00:41:47,505 --> 00:41:50,341
-That's why we stick to the salaries.-[man] That's unacceptable.
716
00:41:50,424 --> 00:41:53,010
You'll also have to strike this rulededucting life insurance.
717
00:41:53,093 --> 00:41:54,595
This is not a negotiation here--
718
00:41:54,678 --> 00:41:57,431
Why should our clients' familiesbe penalized for planning well?
719
00:41:57,515 --> 00:41:58,474
Come on.
720
00:41:59,266 --> 00:42:01,185
-No one's being penalized.-[scoffs]
721
00:42:01,268 --> 00:42:02,353
[Ken] Thank you, Lee.
722
00:42:02,436 --> 00:42:05,231
We're just being paid offto keep our clients out of court.
723
00:42:05,314 --> 00:42:07,358
[chuckles] That's an oversimplification.
724
00:42:07,441 --> 00:42:09,568
[Lee] That's the purpose of the fund, Ken.
725
00:42:09,652 --> 00:42:12,071
I was in the room, too, remember?
726
00:42:13,739 --> 00:42:16,450
I do wanna point out that the law requires
727
00:42:16,534 --> 00:42:19,161
we base awards on income,
728
00:42:19,245 --> 00:42:22,831
but we've decided on a floor payout
729
00:42:23,457 --> 00:42:27,044
for all lost lives of $200,000.
730

731
00:42:40,516 --> 00:42:42,518
[speaking Spanish]
732
00:42:46,730 --> 00:42:50,693
Now, mind you, that's just a minimum.
733
00:42:50,776 --> 00:42:54,655
Is that split between more people,or just the families here?
734
00:42:55,155 --> 00:42:58,409
Uh, no, it's not a split at all.It's per decedent.
735
00:42:59,493 --> 00:43:01,495

737
00:43:09,670 --> 00:43:13,674
This is a report by an economist,a distinguished one,
738
00:43:14,717 --> 00:43:17,636
predicting future compensationgrowth rates for our clients.
739
00:43:18,220 --> 00:43:20,598
We suggest you usethose numbers as a baseline.
740
00:43:21,390 --> 00:43:23,475
We're here as friends, Ken.
741
00:43:23,559 --> 00:43:26,979
Your formula may be enoughfor waitresses at Windows on the World,
742
00:43:27,062 --> 00:43:29,481
but our clients expect a little more.
743
00:43:30,608 --> 00:43:33,110
And if they can't get it from the fund,
744
00:43:33,944 --> 00:43:36,363
they'll seek that remuneration elsewhere.
745
00:43:39,491 --> 00:43:40,659
That bad?
746
00:43:41,410 --> 00:43:44,121
[sighs] Pack of wolves out for blood.
747
00:43:44,872 --> 00:43:45,748
Yours?
748
00:43:45,831 --> 00:43:46,790
Grateful.

[indistinct chatter]
750
00:43:59,553 --> 00:44:01,889
-Are they all here to meet with the staff?-Yeah.
751
00:44:01,972 --> 00:44:05,643
Priya and the others are helping out.I'm meeting with as many as I can myself.
752
00:44:05,726 --> 00:44:07,394
Oh good, good. Very good.
753
00:44:07,478 --> 00:44:09,605
Most would rather meet with you, you know.
754
00:44:09,688 --> 00:44:11,940
They lost loved onesthat are gone forever,
755
00:44:12,024 --> 00:44:15,444
and nothing you do will fill that hole.
756
00:44:16,236 --> 00:44:19,114
You'll feel cold and cruel at times
757
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:21,533
because you can't make them happy, but…
758
00:44:21,617 --> 00:44:23,827
[breathes deeply]
759
00:44:23,911 --> 00:44:24,912
…that's the job.
760
00:44:26,664 --> 00:44:29,208
So just try to rememberwhy you're doing it.
761
00:44:33,962 --> 00:44:35,005
[clears throat]
762
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:40,969
I… I hope this is all right.
763
00:44:41,637 --> 00:44:45,808
The stenographer will be herejust to keep a record of our conversation.
764
00:44:45,891 --> 00:44:46,725
Sure.
765
00:44:48,018 --> 00:44:49,770
Is… Why don't you, um…
766
00:44:50,646 --> 00:44:53,315
Why don't you tell meabout your loved one,
767
00:44:53,941 --> 00:44:54,900
Ann-Marie?
768
00:44:55,526 --> 00:44:59,446
Uh, Page 14, um, Part 2K
769
00:44:59,530 --> 00:45:02,074
talks about supporting documentsI should enclose,
770
00:45:02,157 --> 00:45:04,535
like financial stuff, so I…
771
00:45:04,618 --> 00:45:07,579
[inhales deeply] I dug upall his files here,
772
00:45:09,123 --> 00:45:10,624
what I could find. [sniffles]
773
00:45:11,417 --> 00:45:13,460
Honestly, I don't know where to start.
774
00:45:13,961 --> 00:45:15,587
Let's see if we can make sense of it.
775
00:45:18,257 --> 00:45:21,885
It asks here if she was sufferingfrom any medical disabilities.
776
00:45:22,386 --> 00:45:25,431
What does that mean? If she was,you gonna cut the amount of money?
777
00:45:25,514 --> 00:45:28,100
-Well, not necessarily.-Bullshit you guys are pulling.
778
00:45:28,183 --> 00:45:30,602
This is like goingto an insurance company.
779
00:45:31,103 --> 00:45:33,355
Gotta watch your backwith every thing you say with them,
780
00:45:33,439 --> 00:45:34,815
and it's the same thing here.
781
00:45:36,150 --> 00:45:38,402
My kids need money for the both of us.
782
00:45:39,361 --> 00:45:41,071
They won't have anybody left.
783
00:45:43,907 --> 00:45:44,908
[inhales deeply]
784
00:45:46,201 --> 00:45:47,202
[exhales]
785
00:45:47,286 --> 00:45:49,997
There's no way to cut me a checkbefore the official deadline?
786
00:45:50,497 --> 00:45:53,751
[woman] That morning,
she was scheduled for a different flight,
787
00:45:53,834 --> 00:45:56,086
but another girl called in sick,
788
00:45:56,170 --> 00:45:59,381
and so, it was my sister.
789
00:46:01,675 --> 00:46:03,051
Uh… [sighs]
790
00:46:03,135 --> 00:46:05,763
And she's the onewho called the tower on the radio.
791
00:46:08,390 --> 00:46:09,683
Air Traffic Control,
792
00:46:11,059 --> 00:46:12,436
they played it for me.
793
00:46:14,104 --> 00:46:16,899
She must have been so scared.
794
00:46:20,569 --> 00:46:22,029
She sounded so calm.
795
00:46:23,906 --> 00:46:27,201
So the elevators came,and everybody piled on,
796
00:46:29,244 --> 00:46:31,580
but there wasn't enough room,and so Greg said,
797
00:46:31,663 --> 00:46:35,000
"That's okay, everyone. You go ahead."
798
00:46:38,045 --> 00:46:41,965
There were two women who weren't ready,and so he said, "I'll wait with them."
799
00:46:44,843 --> 00:46:48,472
And so everyone else got out,and another elevator never came.
800
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:52,893
And I know that part of the story
801
00:46:52,976 --> 00:46:55,479
because he called mewhen they were trapped there
802
00:46:55,562 --> 00:46:59,483
to say that he loved me
803
00:47:00,609 --> 00:47:01,610
and the children.
804
00:47:02,778 --> 00:47:03,779
He said…
805
00:47:08,534 --> 00:47:10,118
He told me that he was trapped,
806
00:47:11,703 --> 00:47:13,831
and he was having difficulty breathing.
807
00:47:13,914 --> 00:47:16,166
I could hear the womenscreaming in the background
808
00:47:16,250 --> 00:47:17,751
that they didn't wanna die.
809
00:47:21,004 --> 00:47:24,591
And just then he heardan announcement. They were…
810
00:47:25,300 --> 00:47:26,260
I heard it too.
811
00:47:26,343 --> 00:47:30,639
They were announcing on the loudspeakers,"Please evacuate the building."
812
00:47:34,351 --> 00:47:35,602
[laughing] And Greg was…
813
00:47:37,813 --> 00:47:40,190
He always had a sense of humor. And he…
814
00:47:40,983 --> 00:47:44,027
While he was talking to me,he actually started to laugh. [laughs]
815
00:47:44,653 --> 00:47:46,613
He was joking to me saying that,
816
00:47:47,906 --> 00:47:50,492
"I think I knowI have to get out of the building."
817
00:47:51,493 --> 00:47:53,495
And he was laughing so hard,
818
00:47:53,579 --> 00:47:55,873
until he said, "I have to go now
819
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:00,961
because I can't talk anymore,because I'm having trouble with air."
820
00:48:08,260 --> 00:48:09,261
[inhales sharply]
821
00:48:10,095 --> 00:48:12,431
[breathes deeply]
822
00:48:13,348 --> 00:48:15,726
[breathes shakily]
823
00:48:22,858 --> 00:48:23,859
[exhales]
824
00:48:28,780 --> 00:48:31,366
[man] I knowI'm not officially his next of kin.
825
00:48:33,952 --> 00:48:35,537
We never made it to Vermont.
826
00:48:37,998 --> 00:48:39,708
And Tom's parents don't, uh…
827
00:48:42,461 --> 00:48:44,963
Well, they're a pretty traditionalmilitary family.
828
00:48:47,007 --> 00:48:48,634
They pretend I don't exist.
829
00:48:51,720 --> 00:48:53,305
But I'm the one he called,
830
00:48:54,514 --> 00:48:55,515
before the end,
831
00:48:56,058 --> 00:48:57,059
not them.
832
00:49:02,814 --> 00:49:03,899
Machine picked up.
833
00:49:05,817 --> 00:49:06,944
I wasn't home.
834
00:49:08,278 --> 00:49:09,947
[sobbing]
835
00:49:10,530 --> 00:49:12,491
-I'm so sorry.-[man] Yeah.
836
00:49:13,116 --> 00:49:14,159
I know the rules.
837
00:49:15,911 --> 00:49:18,246
State law sayswe were nothing to each other.
838
00:49:21,917 --> 00:49:23,752
But I'd like you to hear his voice.
839
00:49:27,464 --> 00:49:28,924
-[people screaming]-[Tom] Hi, hon.
840
00:49:29,007 --> 00:49:31,927
By now I guess you've heardabout the mess in New York.
841
00:49:32,010 --> 00:49:33,595
Um… [sighs]
842
00:49:33,679 --> 00:49:37,724
Well, a plane just hit here, too,on the western side of the building.
843
00:49:38,266 --> 00:49:40,852
-It went right through the E and D rings.
-[Ken] Okay, that's…
844
00:49:40,936 --> 00:49:42,062
Could you turn that off?
845
00:49:42,145 --> 00:49:44,272
[Tom] I don't know
if they're showing it on the news.
846
00:49:44,356 --> 00:49:45,399
That's enough.
847
00:49:45,899 --> 00:49:47,025
[Tom] I love you.
848
00:49:47,109 --> 00:49:49,152
[Ken] That's enough. I don't wanna listen.
849
00:49:49,236 --> 00:49:50,946
-[switches off tape]-[Ken clears throat]
850
00:49:52,489 --> 00:49:55,200
He was a civilian contractorat the Pentagon.
851
00:49:55,283 --> 00:49:57,911
They were gonna have a civil union,but Tom's parents…
852
00:49:58,829 --> 00:50:01,873
-They won't even take Graham's calls.-And what did you tell him?
853
00:50:01,957 --> 00:50:06,294
I told him that Virginia state lawhas no protection for same-sex couples,
854
00:50:06,378 --> 00:50:08,797
and our rules are tied to state law.
855
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:12,467
[Ken] Well, that's it then.I mean, our hands are tied.
856
00:50:13,260 --> 00:50:17,139
-[inhales] We can't insert ourselves in---Why can't we make exceptions?
857
00:50:17,723 --> 00:50:19,016
There are others.
858
00:50:19,099 --> 00:50:21,601
Last week, a widow came in with cancer.
859
00:50:22,144 --> 00:50:25,981
She needs more than we can give herby the rules, and she needs it expedited.
860
00:50:26,064 --> 00:50:28,817
Can't cherry pick one case over another.
861
00:50:28,900 --> 00:50:31,820
We can't write new rulesfor every claimant.
862
00:50:31,903 --> 00:50:33,655
-[scoffs]-I know this is personal to you--
863
00:50:33,739 --> 00:50:36,033
You weren't in those rooms, okay?
864
00:50:36,116 --> 00:50:39,077
-You didn't listen to them.-[Ken] We're not therapists.
865
00:50:41,747 --> 00:50:43,415
Am I right? It's not our job.
866
00:50:44,666 --> 00:50:45,500
I…
867
00:50:46,084 --> 00:50:48,754
It's not like I don't care.Of course I care.
868
00:50:49,546 --> 00:50:51,757
How could you not care?That's why we're here.
869
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,718
But I need to stay impartialfor this to work.
870
00:50:55,218 --> 00:50:58,764
We set rules for a reason.We set deadlines for a reason.
871
00:50:58,847 --> 00:51:00,098
That's the job.
872
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:02,142
Camille, go on, tell her.
873
00:51:10,609 --> 00:51:11,610
Priya.
874
00:51:13,945 --> 00:51:15,155
-[Priya sighs]-[Darryl] Hey.
875
00:51:16,281 --> 00:51:17,491
-Hey. [sighs]
-You okay?
876
00:51:18,158 --> 00:51:19,159
Yeah, just…
877
00:51:19,659 --> 00:51:22,746
[chuckling] He thinksI'm taking it too personally.
878
00:51:22,829 --> 00:51:24,581
Come on, that is out of line.
879
00:51:24,664 --> 00:51:25,582
[sighs]
880
00:51:26,124 --> 00:51:27,125
No.
881
00:51:27,709 --> 00:51:29,211
No, he's right, you know.
882
00:51:30,212 --> 00:51:32,005
It is personal for me. I…
883
00:51:32,589 --> 00:51:33,757
[sighs]
884
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:34,841
[smacks lips]
885
00:51:34,925 --> 00:51:38,386
If I can't be objective,then maybe I shouldn't be here.
886
00:51:39,054 --> 00:51:40,680
[breathes deeply]
887
00:51:41,848 --> 00:51:45,060
I just…I think I just need some air. Yeah.
888
00:51:45,143 --> 00:51:46,269
-All right.-[inhales deeply]
889
00:51:46,353 --> 00:51:47,646
-Hey.-Yeah.
890
00:51:47,729 --> 00:51:48,730
See you tomorrow?
891
00:51:49,231 --> 00:51:50,816
[sighs] Yeah.
892
00:51:54,569 --> 00:51:55,570
[exhales sharply]
893
00:52:09,251 --> 00:52:10,252
Oh.
894
00:52:11,419 --> 00:52:12,671
-[intercom beeps]-Gloria.
895
00:52:13,797 --> 00:52:15,298
Call the restaurant
896
00:52:15,841 --> 00:52:19,678
and see if Dede and the kidsare still eating dinner, would ya, please?
897
00:52:20,303 --> 00:52:22,139
[Gloria] They called an hour ago, Ken.
898
00:52:22,222 --> 00:52:23,723
The kids had trains to catch.
899
00:52:23,807 --> 00:52:26,601
Oh, they said to tell you, though,that they understand.
900
00:52:27,144 --> 00:52:28,145
Whoa.
901
00:52:28,979 --> 00:52:29,855
All right.
902
00:52:49,541 --> 00:52:52,169
[Gloria] I understand that, and I'm sorry,
903
00:52:52,252 --> 00:52:54,171
but our staff already went home.
904
00:52:54,671 --> 00:52:57,757
Come back tomorrow,I'll make sure that we get you into see…
905
00:52:58,466 --> 00:53:00,218
Is there a problem, Gloria?
906
00:53:01,511 --> 00:53:03,805
Oh, Mr. Donato, right?
907
00:53:03,889 --> 00:53:07,225
Yeah, we… we had an appointment,but we hit traffic, so we're late.
908
00:53:07,976 --> 00:53:09,186
There's no one here.
909
00:53:09,686 --> 00:53:11,146
The whole staff is gone.
910
00:53:12,189 --> 00:53:14,774
Oh, well, I'll take this one.
911
00:53:15,275 --> 00:53:17,277
-Come on into my office.-[Frank] Not me,
912
00:53:18,528 --> 00:53:19,362
them.
913
00:53:24,492 --> 00:53:25,702
[Ken] So, uh…
914
00:53:27,204 --> 00:53:30,040
Frank told me about your husband.
915
00:53:30,624 --> 00:53:31,958
-[woman] Nick.-[Ken] Yeah.
916
00:53:32,626 --> 00:53:34,169
Yeah, Frank thinks this is a scam.
917
00:53:35,045 --> 00:53:38,298
That it's, like, blood moneyto cover up mistakes.
918
00:53:38,381 --> 00:53:41,551
Well, at least, you're open-minded.
919
00:53:41,635 --> 00:53:45,847
I just think that the boys might wanttheir dad's story told in your report,
920
00:53:46,348 --> 00:53:47,641
if that's a thing.
921
00:53:47,724 --> 00:53:49,643
Hmm, sure. Sure.
922
00:53:52,812 --> 00:53:55,190
Are you gonna take notes or somethin'?
923
00:53:56,942 --> 00:53:57,901
[inhales deeply]
924
00:53:57,984 --> 00:53:59,319
Ah, right.
925
00:53:59,861 --> 00:54:00,737
Uh…
926
00:54:01,279 --> 00:54:05,909
Actually, our stenographeralready went home for the day.
927
00:54:05,992 --> 00:54:06,993
[woman] Oh.
928
00:54:08,995 --> 00:54:09,955
Can't you type?
929
00:54:18,546 --> 00:54:19,547
[clicks]
930
00:54:20,048 --> 00:54:21,341
Wha-- Uh…
931
00:54:21,424 --> 00:54:23,635
Hold on a minute here. There we go.
932
00:54:23,718 --> 00:54:24,886
[inhales deeply] Uh…
933
00:54:25,470 --> 00:54:26,471
Why don't we…
934
00:54:27,889 --> 00:54:29,766
uh, start with your name?
935
00:54:29,849 --> 00:54:31,935
Okay. Karen Donato.
936
00:54:33,019 --> 00:54:34,437
My husband, Nick…
937
00:54:36,022 --> 00:54:38,441
Nicholas Donato,was a New York City firefighter.
938
00:54:38,942 --> 00:54:42,112
Ladder 179 out of Staten Island.
939
00:54:42,737 --> 00:54:43,571
Yeah.
940
00:54:48,994 --> 00:54:49,995
[clears throat]
941
00:54:53,206 --> 00:54:54,082
Do you…
942
00:54:54,582 --> 00:54:55,959
Tell me more about him.
943
00:54:58,295 --> 00:55:01,506
Do you have like a list of questionsyou could ask me maybe?
944
00:55:03,049 --> 00:55:08,680
Uh, well, actually I… I don't…I don't usually do this part myself.
945
00:55:08,763 --> 00:55:12,183
Yeah, I just… It's harderthan I thought it was gonna be.
946
00:55:12,267 --> 00:55:13,643
[Ken] Yeah, I understand.
947
00:55:13,727 --> 00:55:16,021
Uh, well, if you're uncomfortable--
948
00:55:16,104 --> 00:55:19,316
My husband of eight years,and I can't even think of anything to say.
949
00:55:20,942 --> 00:55:25,447
Well, uh, he must have been a good…a good dad.
950
00:55:26,781 --> 00:55:27,866
Yeah.
951
00:55:27,949 --> 00:55:29,743
Oh God, he was a great dad.
952
00:55:30,243 --> 00:55:32,412
He would come home every night after work,
953
00:55:32,912 --> 00:55:34,831
he'd throw the ball with Nicky Jr.,
954
00:55:34,914 --> 00:55:37,000
he would read Patty a book.
955
00:55:37,083 --> 00:55:39,419
He didn't even mindwhen Tyler made number two.
956
00:55:39,502 --> 00:55:42,505
-He said he liked changing diapers.-Well, that's a hero.
957
00:55:42,589 --> 00:55:43,840
[laughs]
958
00:55:46,217 --> 00:55:47,218
Yeah.
959
00:55:52,223 --> 00:55:53,475
He was my whole world.
960
00:55:54,851 --> 00:55:55,894
[sobs]
961
00:55:57,771 --> 00:55:59,564
-Can I have a tissue, please?-[Ken] Yeah.
962
00:56:02,233 --> 00:56:03,234
[woman sobbing]
963
00:56:04,569 --> 00:56:05,570
[Ken] Here we go.
964
00:56:05,653 --> 00:56:06,654
Thank you.
965
00:56:07,405 --> 00:56:08,615
[sobs, blows nose]
966
00:56:08,698 --> 00:56:12,535
You know, everybodykeeps telling me to move on.
967
00:56:13,745 --> 00:56:15,413
I don't know how to do that.
968
00:56:17,415 --> 00:56:20,460
-I'm never gonna get over him.-Well, it's still very soon.
969
00:56:20,543 --> 00:56:21,628
No, never.
970
00:56:23,171 --> 00:56:25,590
-[sniffles] I'm really sorry.-[Ken] No, no, no.
971
00:56:25,673 --> 00:56:27,425
That's all right. Look, um,
972
00:56:27,509 --> 00:56:31,304
I just want you to know there'sno pressure to sign on to the fund today.
973
00:56:31,388 --> 00:56:32,889
Your status as a single mother--
974
00:56:32,972 --> 00:56:34,974
No, I'm not gonna take any money.[exhales]
975
00:56:35,058 --> 00:56:36,226
Not now, no, but--
976
00:56:36,309 --> 00:56:39,562
No, there's no money in the worldthat's good enough for Nick.
977
00:56:39,646 --> 00:56:42,315
-I didn't mean---[woman] You know, I had him in my life.
978
00:56:43,108 --> 00:56:44,401
We had so many…
979
00:56:47,779 --> 00:56:49,489
dreams and plans…
980
00:56:52,033 --> 00:56:54,035
[sniffles] …and things we were gonna do.
981
00:56:55,829 --> 00:56:58,498
[sobbing] And then he was just gone.He was gone.
982
00:57:00,166 --> 00:57:03,253
He didn't even eat breakfast.He was just gone.
983
00:57:06,756 --> 00:57:08,591
And now you're trying to give me money,
984
00:57:08,675 --> 00:57:10,260
Frank wants me to make a stink,
985
00:57:10,343 --> 00:57:13,680
there's lawyers calling meand telling me to sue everybody,
986
00:57:13,763 --> 00:57:16,558
and the phone just won't stop ringing.
987
00:57:17,434 --> 00:57:19,185
But it's never the phone call I want.
988
00:57:19,269 --> 00:57:22,147
It's never the call sayingthat they found his body.
989
00:57:22,730 --> 00:57:24,482
That they're gonna bring him home.
990
00:57:24,983 --> 00:57:26,192
And no offense,
991
00:57:27,068 --> 00:57:28,319
I just want you,
992
00:57:28,403 --> 00:57:31,781
I want all of youto please stop calling me.
993
00:57:31,865 --> 00:57:33,533
Please leave me alone.
994
00:57:37,036 --> 00:57:38,037
I'm sorry.
995
00:57:39,831 --> 00:57:41,374
I'm sorry I wasted your time.
996
00:57:44,252 --> 00:57:46,254

[solemn music playing]
1000
00:58:14,782 --> 00:58:15,783
[Dede] Kenny?
1001
00:58:19,204 --> 00:58:20,538
[Ken] I met a widow today.
1002
00:58:22,540 --> 00:58:23,625
Three kids.
1003
00:58:25,251 --> 00:58:26,294
Can you imagine?
1004
00:58:31,799 --> 00:58:32,800
No.
1005
00:58:35,512 --> 00:58:37,055
I didn't know what to say.
1006
00:58:40,934 --> 00:58:43,311
[Dede] Well, sometimes,there isn't anything.
1007
00:58:43,394 --> 00:58:45,396
[somber music playing]
1008

-[people screaming on tape]-[man] That one's blocked.
1010
00:59:02,956 --> 00:59:04,832
[Tom] Anyway, it's hard to see.
1011
00:59:06,709 --> 00:59:08,294
I'll… I'll call when I get out.
1012
00:59:08,378 --> 00:59:10,964
People are collapsing from the smoke.
1013
00:59:11,047 --> 00:59:13,341
Bye. Bye-bye. Bye. Sorry. Sorr--
1014
00:59:13,424 --> 00:59:14,342
[tape clicks]

[rewinding]
1016
00:59:16,886 --> 00:59:18,471
-[plays tape]-[Tom] Hi, hon.
1017
00:59:19,264 --> 00:59:21,432
By now I guess you've heard aboutthe mess in New York.
1018
00:59:21,516 --> 00:59:23,434
-[people screaming]-Um… [sighs]
1019
00:59:23,935 --> 00:59:28,439
Well, a plane just hit here, too,on the western side of the building.
1020
00:59:28,523 --> 00:59:30,525
[solemn music playing]
1021
00:59:56,217 --> 00:59:58,094
[man on TV] This is not
the preferred option
1022
00:59:58,177 --> 01:00:00,722
of the president of the United States,or any member of this body.
1023
01:00:00,805 --> 01:00:02,515
This is the last option.
1024
01:00:03,349 --> 01:00:04,767
We can make the case
1025
01:00:06,060 --> 01:00:08,688
that it is obviousthat Saddam Hussein continues
1026
01:00:08,771 --> 01:00:10,982
this buildup of weaponsof mass destruction,
1027
01:00:11,065 --> 01:00:13,651
and his desire and effort even in…
1028
01:00:13,735 --> 01:00:15,653
Up to and including nuclear weapons.
1029
01:00:16,362 --> 01:00:19,490
But we are not the oneswho are forcing this issue.
1030
01:00:19,574 --> 01:00:22,368
The president and his resolutiondid not force the issue.
1031
01:00:22,452 --> 01:00:25,288
It is Saddam Husseinwho is forcing this issue.
1032
01:00:25,371 --> 01:00:26,331
And we will…
1033
01:00:26,414 --> 01:00:27,874
[continues indistinctly]
1034
01:00:30,668 --> 01:00:32,503

01:01:02,825 --> 01:01:07,413
[Charles] Well, I… I think the mostimportant thing is that we stand united.
1041
01:01:07,914 --> 01:01:12,418
Because the only waythat they're going to respond to you
1042
01:01:12,502 --> 01:01:14,712
is if they know you're speaking as one.
1043
01:01:14,796 --> 01:01:16,881
-Excuse me for a moment.-[man] Of course.
1044
01:01:21,803 --> 01:01:23,304
[Charles] You came. Thank you.
1045
01:01:23,805 --> 01:01:25,139
We start in a few minutes.
1046
01:01:25,682 --> 01:01:26,891
An enemy in our midst.
1047
01:01:26,974 --> 01:01:30,019
-Ah, hi. Priya Khundi.-Yes, I remember.
1048
01:01:30,895 --> 01:01:35,274
Did Mr. Feinberg send you hereto spy on us or to listen?
1049
01:01:36,192 --> 01:01:38,945
-Actually, he doesn't know I came.-Ah.
1050
01:01:39,612 --> 01:01:42,532
Well, it's easier for himif we just remain numbers, right?
1051
01:01:42,615 --> 01:01:43,741
More manageable?
1052
01:01:44,659 --> 01:01:46,619
He's right, it is.
1053
01:01:46,703 --> 01:01:48,663
Hmm, I understand. Yeah. Yeah.
1054
01:01:49,831 --> 01:01:51,416
-But you came.-[smack lips]
1055
01:01:51,999 --> 01:01:54,752
-Yeah, um, I've been following your blog.-Mm-hmm.
1056
01:01:54,836 --> 01:01:58,840
[Priya] Your wife, Katherine,she had a job at Kyle and MacAllan.
1057
01:01:59,507 --> 01:02:00,508
Yes. Yeah.
1058
01:02:01,008 --> 01:02:04,053
That, um, was her dream job.
1059
01:02:05,596 --> 01:02:07,432
Well, it would have been mine too.
1060
01:02:07,974 --> 01:02:09,851
I… I was, uh…
1061
01:02:11,060 --> 01:02:12,478
I was gonna start that week.
1062
01:02:13,604 --> 01:02:14,605
Oh my.
1063
01:02:17,525 --> 01:02:19,652
Well, I'm glad that you…
1064
01:02:20,236 --> 01:02:21,237
[Priya softly] Yeah.
1065
01:02:23,281 --> 01:02:24,657
So can I ask you then?
1066
01:02:28,035 --> 01:02:32,457
What would your life be worthon your boss's spreadsheet?
1067
01:02:33,750 --> 01:02:37,336
I'm not married,so, um, less than Katherine's.
1068
01:02:37,879 --> 01:02:39,464
[Charles] And do you think that's fair?
1069
01:02:39,964 --> 01:02:40,882
[smacks lips]
1070
01:02:41,424 --> 01:02:42,592
No.
1071
01:02:42,675 --> 01:02:43,885
But your boss does?
1072
01:02:44,594 --> 01:02:46,804
He doesn't think fair exists.
1073
01:02:47,889 --> 01:02:48,890
[Charles] Do you?
1074
01:02:49,515 --> 01:02:51,976
Honestly, I don't know.
1075
01:02:53,770 --> 01:02:56,063
But I did come here to listen.
1076
01:03:00,067 --> 01:03:02,069
[indistinct chatter]
1077
01:03:08,409 --> 01:03:10,495
[Ken] This is the latest, huh? This is…
1078
01:03:10,578 --> 01:03:14,123
You're sure this is the latest?These totals are accurate?
1079
01:03:14,207 --> 01:03:15,875
Technically, we rounded up.
1080
01:03:15,958 --> 01:03:18,169
Uh, it's all right, it's okay.
1081
01:03:18,669 --> 01:03:21,297
We're 12 months out.That's an eternity.It's like I say,
1082
01:03:21,380 --> 01:03:24,383
people will wait for a deadline.They're just avoiding it for now.
1083
01:03:24,467 --> 01:03:27,804
They're not avoiding it.They're just avoiding us.
1084
01:03:28,304 --> 01:03:29,597
I mean, look at this.
1085
01:03:30,473 --> 01:03:33,017
Oh, yeah, yeah.Fix The Fund. I remember, yeah.
1086
01:03:33,100 --> 01:03:35,478
This is my pal.This is my buddy from the town hall.
1087
01:03:35,561 --> 01:03:40,149
His web page is receiving more thantwice the visits ours does every day.
1088
01:03:40,233 --> 01:03:43,152
He's got a mailing listof almost 7,000 names.
1089
01:03:43,236 --> 01:03:44,612
So does the phone book.
1090
01:03:45,238 --> 01:03:46,155
I went to see him.
1091
01:03:46,989 --> 01:03:48,491
I told her it was okay to go.
1092
01:03:48,574 --> 01:03:49,826
Look, he's a leader.
1093
01:03:49,909 --> 01:03:51,077
He's a gadfly.
1094
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:53,120
He's earning people's trust.
1095
01:03:53,204 --> 01:03:57,250
Every income level, first responders…That's what we should be doing.
1096
01:03:57,333 --> 01:03:59,961
If he says so, all of them will sue.
1097
01:04:02,547 --> 01:04:03,965
What's he asking for?
1098
01:04:04,048 --> 01:04:05,800
You should ask him yourself.
1099
01:04:08,928 --> 01:04:12,014
[La clemenza di Tito, Act 1: "Parto, ma tu ben mio" playing]
1100
01:04:21,107 --> 01:04:23,359
[door opens, closes]
1101
01:04:23,442 --> 01:04:24,443
[Ken] Charles.
1102
01:04:25,945 --> 01:04:26,863
[Charles] Mr. Feinberg.
1103
01:04:27,446 --> 01:04:30,157
I'm sorry they left you in herewith the music running.
1104
01:04:30,241 --> 01:04:31,492
-Oh.-Uh…
1105
01:04:31,576 --> 01:04:33,494
-Soothes the soul.-Yeah.
1106
01:04:34,036 --> 01:04:37,832
Yeah, this was the Lincoln Center cast,if I'm not mistaken.
1107
01:04:37,915 --> 01:04:40,751
Bartoli was otherworldly.
1108
01:04:41,502 --> 01:04:44,714
Wow, you're an opera fan.I was on the board that year.
1109
01:04:44,797 --> 01:04:46,799
My wife, Katherine, she was, uh…
1110
01:04:47,300 --> 01:04:50,344
She sang sopranoin an amateur touring choir.
1111
01:04:50,428 --> 01:04:52,138
I sing tenor. That's how we met.
1112
01:04:52,638 --> 01:04:54,974
Well, she must have had a lovely voice.
1113
01:04:57,226 --> 01:04:58,060
Yep.
1114
01:05:00,646 --> 01:05:02,815
Would that help her fit into your formula?
1115
01:05:03,983 --> 01:05:04,901
[inhales sharply]
1116
01:05:04,984 --> 01:05:06,485
Do you read my website?
1117
01:05:06,569 --> 01:05:09,947
I will confess I don't,because I'm not a computer guy.
1118
01:05:10,031 --> 01:05:12,241
-[Charles] Ah.-My staff handles all that,
1119
01:05:12,325 --> 01:05:16,203
and they tell meyou're a very reasonable man.
1120
01:05:16,287 --> 01:05:17,455
And as I understand it,
1121
01:05:17,538 --> 01:05:19,749
you've taken on somewhatof a leadership role
1122
01:05:20,249 --> 01:05:22,501
uh, amongst the people that we serve.
1123
01:05:22,585 --> 01:05:26,297
-[Charles] Mm-hmm.-That's nice. Good. Good.
1124
01:05:27,048 --> 01:05:31,010
-Uh, why don't we talk?-That's why I'm here.
1125
01:05:31,093 --> 01:05:32,094
[chuckles]
1126
01:05:33,846 --> 01:05:35,306
Tell me what you want.
1127
01:05:36,182 --> 01:05:38,851
Because we could make some adjustments.
1128
01:05:38,935 --> 01:05:42,271
We could, uh, you know,raise the baselines.
1129
01:05:43,230 --> 01:05:45,566
So you think this is about the money?
1130
01:05:46,609 --> 01:05:47,693
Hmm, of course, yeah.
1131
01:05:48,319 --> 01:05:49,487
That it's greed?
1132
01:05:49,570 --> 01:05:53,157
No. No, no, no, no. Not greed.
1133
01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:55,117
Money, yes. Greed, no.
1134
01:05:55,618 --> 01:05:58,329
Money puts food on people's tables
1135
01:05:58,412 --> 01:06:00,331
and it puts roofs over people's heads.
1136
01:06:00,414 --> 01:06:02,750
There's nothing dirtyor demeaning about it,
1137
01:06:02,833 --> 01:06:07,421
but let's not pretendlike it doesn't matter. It does.
1138
01:06:07,505 --> 01:06:08,923
It helps people move on.
1139
01:06:10,841 --> 01:06:11,884
Who?
1140
01:06:13,594 --> 01:06:16,305
-What do you mean who?-Do you know any of our names?
1141
01:06:17,056 --> 01:06:19,058
Have you met any of us yourself?
1142
01:06:19,141 --> 01:06:21,268
As a matter of fact, I have, yeah.
1143
01:06:21,352 --> 01:06:22,353
Huh.
1144
01:06:23,729 --> 01:06:24,981
And what were they worth?
1145
01:06:25,690 --> 01:06:26,565
Oh. [laughs]
1146
01:06:26,649 --> 01:06:28,901
Well, now…Now you're talking about numbers,
1147
01:06:28,985 --> 01:06:30,945
and you know, pretending--
1148
01:06:31,028 --> 01:06:32,029
Throw it out.
1149
01:06:32,530 --> 01:06:34,407
[Ken] Throw what out? Throw what out?
1150
01:06:34,907 --> 01:06:37,576
-Throw out your formula.-I can't. I can't.
1151
01:06:37,660 --> 01:06:39,745
We need to have something rational.
1152
01:06:39,829 --> 01:06:42,373
I got it. I understand. I got it.
1153
01:06:42,456 --> 01:06:46,002
But my wife is not a statistic.
1154
01:06:46,085 --> 01:06:49,880
No, certainly not,but we do have to go by a set of rules.
1155
01:06:49,964 --> 01:06:53,092
Okay. Will your rules help Graham Morris?
1156
01:06:53,926 --> 01:06:57,680
Graham Morris. His partner diedtwo weeks before their civil ceremony,
1157
01:06:57,763 --> 01:07:00,433
but your fund would givehis full claim to his parents
1158
01:07:00,516 --> 01:07:01,976
who condemned his lifestyle.
1159
01:07:02,059 --> 01:07:04,270
-[Ken] I recall him.-They were estranged.
1160
01:07:04,353 --> 01:07:07,189
Completely estranged, Mr. Feinberg.Is that fair?
1161
01:07:07,690 --> 01:07:09,358
We're just the administrators on that.
1162
01:07:09,442 --> 01:07:11,360
[Charles] Let's go to the sectionof your rules
1163
01:07:11,444 --> 01:07:14,864
that limits injuriesto only those that occurred right away.
1164
01:07:15,364 --> 01:07:17,408
We have cleanup workerswho come to our meetings.
1165
01:07:17,491 --> 01:07:19,744
-They have polyps from asbestos.-[Ken] I think the thing--
1166
01:07:19,827 --> 01:07:22,830
They were on that site for weeks,for weeks, breathing in that crap.
1167
01:07:22,913 --> 01:07:24,623
-[Ken] Hmm.-But according to your rules,
1168
01:07:24,707 --> 01:07:27,877
unless they got to that sitewithin three days of the attack--
1169
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:31,047
Ah, that's becausewe have to draw the line somewhere.
1170
01:07:31,130 --> 01:07:35,176
If we award every workerwho was injured on that site,
1171
01:07:35,259 --> 01:07:38,721
I mean, where does it end? You understand?
1172
01:07:38,804 --> 01:07:41,766
I don't know, you tell me.That's up to you.
1173
01:07:43,309 --> 01:07:46,896
The law gives you broad discretionas special master, does it not?
1174
01:07:46,979 --> 01:07:48,731
-[Ken] Yes, it does.-Okay.
1175
01:07:48,814 --> 01:07:51,567
And responsibilities.Responsibilities to the taxpayers,
1176
01:07:51,650 --> 01:07:52,985
to objectivity.
1177
01:07:53,069 --> 01:07:57,364
I… I can't bend the rulesfor every case that doesn't fit the mold.
1178
01:07:57,448 --> 01:07:58,449
Why not?
1179
01:07:59,366 --> 01:08:00,284
Congress did.
1180
01:08:02,203 --> 01:08:03,329
You know they did.
1181
01:08:04,163 --> 01:08:07,750
When the law said that we could suetwo airlines out of business,
1182
01:08:07,833 --> 01:08:10,503
Congress rewrote that law like that,
1183
01:08:11,087 --> 01:08:12,046
in a day.
1184
01:08:12,546 --> 01:08:13,380
Why?
1185
01:08:13,923 --> 01:08:16,425
Because the big corporationsasked them to.
1186
01:08:17,134 --> 01:08:21,305
But when 7,000 citizens come to youand they ask you for respect
1187
01:08:21,889 --> 01:08:24,892
and ask not to be treatedlike some numbers on a spreadsheet,
1188
01:08:24,975 --> 01:08:27,394
you act like that lawcame down from Sinai.
1189
01:08:28,020 --> 01:08:30,856
Please, Mr. Feinberg, don't. Don't. Don't.
1190
01:08:30,940 --> 01:08:33,317
Don't tell meyou can't give us what we want.
1191
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:36,403
Just tell usthat we are not the top priority.
1192
01:08:36,487 --> 01:08:37,488
Admit that,
1193
01:08:38,447 --> 01:08:39,448
to yourself.

Yes. Who's this?

01:09:06,934 --> 01:09:08,352
[man] Bart Cuthbert, sir.
1204
01:09:08,435 --> 01:09:09,812
Uh, we haven't met.
1205
01:09:09,895 --> 01:09:11,730
I represent a claimant to your fund.

Uh, this is a private line.
1208
01:09:14,775 --> 01:09:16,777
Fund matters should go through my office.
1209
01:09:16,861 --> 01:09:19,572
[Bart] Right, the office, yes.
I spoke to someone at the office
1210
01:09:19,655 --> 01:09:22,241
who said you took the meetingon this case yourself.
1211
01:09:22,741 --> 01:09:25,911
Uh, it's a young womanby the name of Karen Donato.
1212
01:09:26,453 --> 01:09:27,371
Widow of Nicholas?
1213
01:09:27,454 --> 01:09:28,581
Yes, we spoke.
1214
01:09:29,081 --> 01:09:34,378
[Bart] He was a fireman with three sons
aged, um, eight, six, and four.
1215
01:09:35,337 --> 01:09:37,131
-Look--
-What's this about?
1216
01:09:37,214 --> 01:09:39,425
[Bart] Well, it's an unusual scenario,
you see.
1217
01:09:39,508 --> 01:09:42,386
Look, I don't meanto cause you any trouble, Mr. Feinberg.
1218
01:09:42,469 --> 01:09:44,805
Ken. Ken. No, go ahead. I'm used to it.
1219
01:09:44,889 --> 01:09:48,184
[Bart] All right. Well, Ken,
you see, my client, Melanie Vale,
1220
01:09:48,267 --> 01:09:50,311
was Mr. Donato's mistress.
1221
01:09:52,146 --> 01:09:55,774
-I'm not… I'm not sure I heard correctly.-[Bart] You heard correctly.
1222
01:09:55,858 --> 01:09:58,861
Melanie Vale and Nick Donatohave two daughters of their own
1223
01:09:58,944 --> 01:10:01,989
ages one and threeat the time of the attack.
1224
01:10:02,072 --> 01:10:04,575
Uh, I have DNA results to prove paternity.
1225
01:10:04,658 --> 01:10:06,952
My secretarycan fax them over to your office.
1226
01:10:08,996 --> 01:10:10,039
Mr. Feinberg?
1227
01:10:10,748 --> 01:10:11,582
Yes.
1228
01:10:12,374 --> 01:10:16,754
Uh, all right. Well, I'm looking forwardto going over the papers.
1229
01:10:17,755 --> 01:10:19,965
[Bart] Like I said,
I'm not trying to make trouble here.
1230
01:10:20,049 --> 01:10:23,427
I just want you to know that whenyou cut that check for Mr. Donato's life,
1231
01:10:23,510 --> 01:10:26,347
it needs to go to five childreninstead of three.
1232
01:10:28,098 --> 01:10:30,392
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
1233
01:10:31,518 --> 01:10:33,520
[solemn music playing]
1234
01:10:45,658 --> 01:10:47,660
[music continues]
1235
01:10:57,753 --> 01:10:59,505
-[knocking on window]-Hey, mister.
1236
01:11:00,130 --> 01:11:01,257
[kid yelling]
1237
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:08,180
So your office said that you had, uh,some more questions about Nick.
1238
01:11:08,264 --> 01:11:12,434
Yeah. Really it's morejust of a… a record-keeping thing.
1239
01:11:12,518 --> 01:11:14,270
I told you we don't want the money.
1240
01:11:14,353 --> 01:11:16,146
-Of course. Yeah.
-Okay.
1241
01:11:16,230 --> 01:11:19,858
Uh… Oh, look.There's your wedding pictures.
1242
01:11:19,942 --> 01:11:21,068
No… [laughs]
1243
01:11:21,652 --> 01:11:23,654
Okay, this is just for show.
1244
01:11:24,446 --> 01:11:26,448
-The real one was at City Hall.-[laughs]
1245
01:11:26,532 --> 01:11:29,326
Before I was, you know,as big as a circus tent.
1246
01:11:29,410 --> 01:11:30,786
[laughs]
1247
01:11:30,869 --> 01:11:34,915
You know, I… I told him that I didn't needanything all grand and fancy
1248
01:11:34,999 --> 01:11:37,251
just to prove that he loved me, but, uh…
1249
01:11:38,002 --> 01:11:40,796
You know, he worked doublesfor a whole year.
1250
01:11:41,297 --> 01:11:44,925
He wouldn't take a nickelfrom my family or anybody.
1251
01:11:45,968 --> 01:11:48,095
Just so we could havethat picture on the wall.
1252
01:11:49,305 --> 01:11:50,306
He was like that.
1253
01:11:52,641 --> 01:11:56,812
And that, I'm assuming, Nicky Jr. there?
1254
01:11:58,022 --> 01:11:59,231
Oh no.
1255
01:11:59,315 --> 01:12:04,236
Uh, that was a girl.We lost her. She was a preemie.
1256
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:06,322
-Oh, I'm sorry.-That's okay.
1257
01:12:06,864 --> 01:12:07,781
Eden.
1258
01:12:09,450 --> 01:12:13,287
Most dads don't want little girls,but Nicky always did.
1259
01:12:13,912 --> 01:12:14,872
[door opens]
1260
01:12:14,955 --> 01:12:15,998
Hey.
1261
01:12:16,832 --> 01:12:18,792
You didn't need to come.
1262
01:12:18,876 --> 01:12:20,085
Sorry, excuse me.
1263
01:12:20,169 --> 01:12:21,295
You didn't have to come.
1264
01:12:21,378 --> 01:12:23,630
-[Frank] I got cereal for the kids.-[Karen] Thank you.
1265
01:12:23,714 --> 01:12:25,257
-[kids yelling]-Hey! Hey!
1266
01:12:25,758 --> 01:12:27,718
-I'll be right back. Sorry.-[Ken] Sure.
1267
01:12:28,510 --> 01:12:29,345
Hi, Frank.
1268
01:12:30,554 --> 01:12:31,930
I just wanted to, uh,
1269
01:12:33,265 --> 01:12:34,683
discuss Nick's claim.
1270
01:12:35,976 --> 01:12:38,228
I already told you, we're not making one.
1271
01:12:38,312 --> 01:12:40,439
[Ken] Yeah, I know, of course, but I just…
1272
01:12:40,522 --> 01:12:43,275
You know, just in case Karen decides to…
1273
01:12:43,359 --> 01:12:45,444
Here, let me… Can I show you something?
1274
01:12:46,904 --> 01:12:47,863
[paper rustles]
1275
01:12:47,946 --> 01:12:50,407
This… I wanna show this number here.
1276
01:12:52,993 --> 01:12:54,078
That's just, uh…
1277
01:12:54,828 --> 01:12:57,247
That's a presumptive calculation.That means…
1278
01:12:57,331 --> 01:12:59,249
I know what it means to presume.
1279
01:13:05,172 --> 01:13:07,424
You and Nick were… were very close.
1280
01:13:10,302 --> 01:13:11,136
Yeah.
1281
01:13:12,638 --> 01:13:13,972
He was my kid brother.
1282
01:13:16,058 --> 01:13:17,601
[Ken] So I… I have to assume
1283
01:13:18,102 --> 01:13:18,936
you would know
1284
01:13:19,686 --> 01:13:22,356
if there was something that Nick
1285
01:13:23,690 --> 01:13:26,402
wouldn't necessarily want Karen to know.
1286
01:13:30,781 --> 01:13:32,199
My brother was a family man.
1287
01:13:32,783 --> 01:13:34,576
Of course. Of course, yeah.
1288
01:13:38,872 --> 01:13:40,249
We are not signing nothing.
1289
01:13:40,749 --> 01:13:43,669
Frank, this is money for those boys.
1290
01:13:43,752 --> 01:13:45,671
It's tax-free.It's not every day the government--
1291
01:13:45,754 --> 01:13:49,425
Nicky died 'cause of people like youholding the purse strings.
1292
01:13:49,925 --> 01:13:52,094
Now you think you could come hereand make it right
1293
01:13:52,177 --> 01:13:53,971
by tossing money on his grave?
1294
01:13:54,054 --> 01:13:55,639
[paper rustling]
1295
01:13:58,267 --> 01:13:59,560
Get out of his house.
1296
01:14:02,438 --> 01:14:03,439
All right.
1297
01:14:09,820 --> 01:14:12,030
[door opens, closes]
1298
01:14:21,081 --> 01:14:22,499
[dog barking]
1299
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:29,923
[woman] See, this is Tom Jr.
1300
01:14:30,716 --> 01:14:32,426
Don't you think he looks older?
1301
01:14:33,135 --> 01:14:37,055
Tom Jr.'s the one not in uniform.He was a civilian contractor.
1302
01:14:37,723 --> 01:14:40,225
His brother, Dave,rejoined to fight for him.
1303
01:14:40,726 --> 01:14:42,019
That's very brave.
1304
01:14:42,102 --> 01:14:44,062
They were only 11 months apart.
1305
01:14:44,605 --> 01:14:46,773
Like two peas in a pod growing up.
1306
01:14:48,150 --> 01:14:51,153
I had a chance to meet Tom's partner,Graham Morris.
1307
01:14:51,236 --> 01:14:52,905
-[man] The gold digger?-Tom.
1308
01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:58,911
What my husband means to sayis that man is a liar.
1309
01:14:59,578 --> 01:15:03,290
He and Tom were living together.He said that they had plans to--
1310
01:15:03,373 --> 01:15:05,042
They were roommates.
1311
01:15:06,210 --> 01:15:08,504
Tom had girlfriends. He would…
1312
01:15:09,588 --> 01:15:11,048
-Mrs…?-Biros.
1313
01:15:11,131 --> 01:15:15,135
Mrs. Biros, this boy had a long history
1314
01:15:15,219 --> 01:15:17,679
of being infatuated with our son.
1315
01:15:18,222 --> 01:15:21,058
He tried to get his hooks in him,but Tom did…
1316
01:15:23,435 --> 01:15:25,103
We knew our son.
1317
01:15:25,812 --> 01:15:30,108
These guys just crawl out of the woodwork.
1318
01:15:30,192 --> 01:15:31,276
[inhales deeply]
1319
01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:33,779
I'm sure your office sees a lot of those.
1320
01:15:35,864 --> 01:15:37,824
I didn't get that sense from him.
1321
01:15:39,409 --> 01:15:40,953
Isn't that always the way?
1322
01:15:45,207 --> 01:15:46,416
[exhales]
1323
01:15:52,714 --> 01:15:55,300
Rumor has itthat your numbers are a little stagnant.
1324
01:15:55,384 --> 01:15:56,677
Still plenty of time.
1325
01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:59,221
You had plenty of time,and you've signed what, 900?
1326
01:15:59,846 --> 01:16:01,557
That's… That's not enough, Ken.
1327
01:16:04,476 --> 01:16:05,686
You know, I…
1328
01:16:06,311 --> 01:16:09,147
I sat down with your friend, Charles Wolf.
1329
01:16:09,231 --> 01:16:11,650
-[laughs]-Wolf? Well, good luck with him.
1330
01:16:11,733 --> 01:16:13,652
He's fighting for the "left behind,"by the way.
1331
01:16:13,735 --> 01:16:16,029
He's not trying to helpthe rich get richer.
1332
01:16:16,113 --> 01:16:19,741
See, it's that kind of accusationthat has people calling you insensitive.
1333
01:16:19,825 --> 01:16:20,993
Doesn't matter.
1334
01:16:23,245 --> 01:16:25,789
Anyway, I emphasized our common ground.
1335
01:16:25,872 --> 01:16:28,041
A rising tide lifts all boats.
1336
01:16:28,125 --> 01:16:30,210
[inhales deeply] I thinkI'm mixing a metaphor.
1337
01:16:30,294 --> 01:16:33,589
But the point is,if his supporters join our cause,
1338
01:16:33,672 --> 01:16:36,425
we have enough participantsto certify a suit.
1339
01:16:37,134 --> 01:16:38,093
Hold on here.
1340
01:16:39,595 --> 01:16:41,471
Are you threatening a class action?
1341
01:16:41,972 --> 01:16:44,391
No, I'm offering to help you out here.
1342
01:16:44,474 --> 01:16:45,350
[Ken] Bullshit.
1343
01:16:45,434 --> 01:16:46,893
You can afford to roll the dice,
1344
01:16:46,977 --> 01:16:49,479
to win or lose a caseover the course of 15 years,
1345
01:16:49,563 --> 01:16:51,231
Most of those people cannot.
1346
01:16:51,315 --> 01:16:55,068
Well, with all due respect, you haven'tmet these people, your staff has.
1347
01:16:55,152 --> 01:16:57,404
And I got news for ya.
1348
01:16:57,487 --> 01:16:59,031
They hate your guts.
1349
01:16:59,114 --> 01:17:01,158
Well, maybe they do, maybe they don't.
1350
01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:04,286
What I'm offering them is a choice,
1351
01:17:04,369 --> 01:17:07,080
and I'm here as a friendto give you the same.
1352
01:17:07,581 --> 01:17:12,502
Raise the ceiling on the top awards,and I'll deliver everybody to your fund.
1353
01:17:13,003 --> 01:17:14,379
Wrapped in a bow.
1354
01:17:17,799 --> 01:17:19,468
Let's win this together, Ken.
1355
01:17:21,136 --> 01:17:23,180
[John] This isn't the latest number,
is it, Ken?
1356
01:17:23,889 --> 01:17:25,015
Fifteen percent?
1357
01:17:25,682 --> 01:17:29,102
John, we still have four monthstill the statutory deadline,
1358
01:17:29,186 --> 01:17:30,687
but I'm… I'm confident.
1359
01:17:30,771 --> 01:17:31,897
[John] Oh, I know.
1360
01:17:32,481 --> 01:17:33,482
Confident.
1361
01:17:35,067 --> 01:17:36,652
Companies are getting nervous, Ken.
1362
01:17:38,904 --> 01:17:42,157
John, I didn't know we were, uh,having a meeting with the airline lobby.
1363
01:17:42,658 --> 01:17:44,159
I'm just here to listen.
1364
01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:47,412
[lobbyist 1] We're told Lee Quinnis planning to bring suit
1365
01:17:47,496 --> 01:17:49,414
unless you give more money at the top.
1366
01:17:49,956 --> 01:17:52,292
Look, Quinn is not the issue.
1367
01:17:52,376 --> 01:17:54,836
You really want to change the lawto help people?
1368
01:17:55,921 --> 01:17:58,674
There are plentyof emergency workers and firemen.
1369
01:17:58,757 --> 01:18:02,469
They inhaled toxic chemicals.Didn't get sick till months later.
1370
01:18:02,969 --> 01:18:05,180
-This law doesn't cover them.-[lobbyist 1] No.
1371
01:18:05,263 --> 01:18:07,516
That would be unproductive.
1372
01:18:07,599 --> 01:18:11,311
If you change rules, this gets kickedback to the Congress for a comment period.
1373
01:18:11,812 --> 01:18:14,648
-Have you experienced a comment period?-[Ken] No.
1374
01:18:14,731 --> 01:18:18,110
They'll be on their soapboxes ten monthsafter the whole statute's kaput.
1375
01:18:18,193 --> 01:18:20,070
The whole economy is in the toilet.
1376
01:18:20,153 --> 01:18:22,280
Nobody gets anything,including re-elected.
1377
01:18:22,364 --> 01:18:24,241
So, yeah…
1378
01:18:25,367 --> 01:18:26,201
No.
1379
01:18:26,785 --> 01:18:28,954
Quinn only cares aboutthe people at the top
1380
01:18:29,037 --> 01:18:31,123
'cause that's where he gets his paycheck.
1381
01:18:31,206 --> 01:18:35,335
-His lawsuit is a problem for us.-Look, I work for the taxpayers.
1382
01:18:35,419 --> 01:18:36,962
We pay our share of taxes too.
1383
01:18:37,045 --> 01:18:39,548
Yeah, but you don't have to lookthe victims in the eye.
1384
01:18:39,631 --> 01:18:42,592
As the special master,you have broad discretionary power,
1385
01:18:42,676 --> 01:18:43,969
even within your formula.
1386
01:18:44,052 --> 01:18:47,305
All we're asking is you use it hereto make Quinn happy so he goes away.
1387
01:18:50,016 --> 01:18:52,394
Like I said Ken, neutral party.
1388
01:18:53,145 --> 01:18:56,314
You have DOJ's support,whatever you decide.

[Charles] Mr. Feinberg?
1427
01:20:43,588 --> 01:20:45,423
-I thought I might see you here.-Uh…
1428
01:20:46,925 --> 01:20:48,635
-Hello, Mr. Wolf.-[chuckling] Hi.
1429
01:20:50,178 --> 01:20:53,932
I think Katherine would have appreciatedthis modern stuff, but I don't…
1430
01:20:54,015 --> 01:20:56,810
I… I can't understand musicthat you have to,
1431
01:20:57,644 --> 01:20:59,646
you know, struggle to listen to.
1432
01:20:59,729 --> 01:21:01,273
-[both laugh]-You know?
1433
01:21:01,356 --> 01:21:04,234
I… I do. Well, Puccini, it ain't.
1434
01:21:05,277 --> 01:21:07,070
We can agree on that. [chuckles]
1435
01:21:07,779 --> 01:21:10,323
So I thoughtyou'd be in the seat of honor.
1436
01:21:13,201 --> 01:21:14,202
Oh.
1437
01:21:15,161 --> 01:21:17,497
-That bad, huh?-Yeah. Yeah.
1438
01:21:18,874 --> 01:21:20,166
You know, um…
1439
01:21:22,127 --> 01:21:25,005
the reason I even wanted to do this,was I really believed
1440
01:21:25,088 --> 01:21:28,300
I should serve my countryin its time of need. I did.
1441
01:21:28,383 --> 01:21:29,968
Maybe part of that's ego,
1442
01:21:30,552 --> 01:21:33,013
but… here we are.
1443
01:21:34,306 --> 01:21:38,894
I've got, what, 1100 families on board
1444
01:21:38,977 --> 01:21:41,646
and 6,000 more to go.
1445
01:21:42,522 --> 01:21:44,316
Uh-huh. Yeah, well…
1446
01:21:45,191 --> 01:21:48,653
[Ken] I just want you to knowthat I know the fund's not perfect.
1447
01:21:50,947 --> 01:21:54,868
There are people who just don't fitwithin the rules that we wrote.
1448
01:21:57,495 --> 01:21:58,496
I know that.
1449
01:22:02,208 --> 01:22:03,793
I honestly don't know
1450
01:22:05,378 --> 01:22:06,379
what to do.
1451
01:22:09,341 --> 01:22:11,468
Remember that you're not the bridge.
1452
01:22:12,928 --> 01:22:13,929
Okay.
1453
01:22:15,096 --> 01:22:16,598
Sounds like a fortune cookie.
1454
01:22:16,681 --> 01:22:17,974
[Charles] No. [chuckles]
1455
01:22:18,058 --> 01:22:19,267
Katherine and I,
1456
01:22:19,768 --> 01:22:22,771
this town that we lived in years agoin Upstate New York.
1457
01:22:22,854 --> 01:22:24,689
-Uh, Ithaca, you know.-[Ken] Uh-huh.
1458
01:22:24,773 --> 01:22:27,108
[clears throat] There wasthis gorgeous bridge.
1459
01:22:28,068 --> 01:22:31,321
[smacks lips] Depression-era. Beautiful.To me? Beautiful.
1460
01:22:31,988 --> 01:22:34,115
And developers wanted to knock it down
1461
01:22:34,616 --> 01:22:36,576
'cause they were gonnaput in an interstate.
1462
01:22:37,077 --> 01:22:38,787
So I got on the city council,
1463
01:22:39,329 --> 01:22:42,499
and I spent two years,and all of our savings,
1464
01:22:43,792 --> 01:22:46,002
fighting for that hunk of concrete.
1465
01:22:47,879 --> 01:22:49,464
And when they demolished it,
1466
01:22:51,299 --> 01:22:53,635
I sat around the housemoping for a couple of weeks,
1467
01:22:53,718 --> 01:22:55,303
feeling sorry for myself.
1468
01:22:56,346 --> 01:22:57,472
And then Katherine,
1469
01:22:58,974 --> 01:23:03,645
you know, she looked at me one day,and she told me that.
1470
01:23:05,438 --> 01:23:07,899
"You're not the bridge." Mmm.
1471
01:23:07,983 --> 01:23:09,067
[Charles] It is rubble,
1472
01:23:09,651 --> 01:23:10,694
I'm not.
1473
01:23:11,820 --> 01:23:12,862
I am still here.
1474
01:23:14,823 --> 01:23:15,824
Mmm.
1475
01:23:15,907 --> 01:23:18,284
Fighting a new lost cause, but you know…
1476
01:23:18,368 --> 01:23:20,870
-Which is me, I suppose. [laughs]-No. No, no, no.
1477
01:23:20,954 --> 01:23:24,582
No, that's… See, I havenothing against you, Mr. Feinberg.
1478
01:23:24,666 --> 01:23:25,959
-Look---I wanna make that clear.
1479
01:23:26,042 --> 01:23:26,876
-Okay.-Okay?
1480
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:30,922
I just… Look, I may have screwedthis whole thing up.
1481
01:23:31,006 --> 01:23:32,215
Very possible.
1482
01:23:32,298 --> 01:23:34,300
But if I try to fix it now,
1483
01:23:34,384 --> 01:23:37,387
if I even go on recordsaying this thing even needs fixing,
1484
01:23:37,470 --> 01:23:41,099
trust me, courts are gonna throw it backto Congress and they'll let it die.
1485
01:23:41,182 --> 01:23:44,102
Nothing for anyone, just dead.
1486
01:23:46,312 --> 01:23:48,064
-Then it deserves to be.-[Ken] Why?
1487
01:23:48,148 --> 01:23:50,984
-Because it's not perfect?-No. No.
1488
01:23:51,609 --> 01:23:53,987
Because it's not just.
1489
01:23:54,070 --> 01:23:56,406
But I can't change that.
1490
01:23:56,489 --> 01:23:58,533
[Charles] Well, something has to change.
1491
01:23:58,616 --> 01:23:59,576
Find it.
1492
01:23:59,659 --> 01:24:01,661

[Camille] Call off the search party.I found him.

[Priya chuckles]
1501
01:25:24,786 --> 01:25:25,912
Did you sleep here?
1502
01:25:25,995 --> 01:25:27,497
[Ken grunts] I guess so.
1503
01:25:27,580 --> 01:25:28,915
[both chuckle]
1504
01:25:28,998 --> 01:25:33,169
[Ken] I was going through these cases,the uncommitted ones.
1505
01:25:33,795 --> 01:25:37,298
What's going on with that, uh…the civil union suit you're working on?
1506
01:25:37,382 --> 01:25:39,342
Um, that's one of dozens.
1507
01:25:39,425 --> 01:25:41,636
It won't be an issuefor New York residents
1508
01:25:41,719 --> 01:25:44,305
'cause Pataki just extendedthe spousal benefits
1509
01:25:44,389 --> 01:25:46,850
for gay people whose partners died.
1510
01:25:46,933 --> 01:25:48,935
Virginia legislature feels differently.
1511
01:25:51,062 --> 01:25:53,106
[Ken] Then we gottacall the governor, right?
1512
01:25:53,606 --> 01:25:56,985
Look, obviously we can't help everyonewith special interests.
1513
01:25:57,068 --> 01:26:00,029
We still have to set limits,but it's a start.
1514
01:26:00,530 --> 01:26:02,740
Now, that's the civil union, right?
1515
01:26:02,824 --> 01:26:05,577
Some of these poor people,these first responders, this is trickier.
1516
01:26:05,660 --> 01:26:07,453
They didn't knowthey were sick for months.
1517
01:26:07,537 --> 01:26:09,080
-Look at these. This is…-Ken.
1518
01:26:09,164 --> 01:26:11,332
I know.We're gonna have to take the heat on it.
1519
01:26:11,416 --> 01:26:13,918
We're gonna have to set the formula aside.
1520
01:26:14,002 --> 01:26:15,503
-Ken---I know. I know. I know.
1521
01:26:16,045 --> 01:26:19,799
I know. We're in the weeds here.That's where we should be.
1522
01:26:19,883 --> 01:26:23,553
If we do this, we have to gothe whole way. Can't go halfway.
1523
01:26:23,636 --> 01:26:26,014
We have to considerevery claimant individually.
1524
01:26:26,097 --> 01:26:29,309
If they can't come here to see us,we'll have to go and see them.
1525
01:26:29,392 --> 01:26:30,977
You understand? Good.
1526
01:26:31,060 --> 01:26:32,604
What? You don't like it.
1527
01:26:34,022 --> 01:26:34,939
We love it.
1528
01:26:35,440 --> 01:26:37,358
Oh. Good.
1529
01:26:37,859 --> 01:26:40,361
All right, set some meetings.I'm gonna get coffee.
1530
01:26:42,322 --> 01:26:43,323
[Priya chuckles]
1531
01:26:47,076 --> 01:26:49,871
Me and a few of the other stronger guys,
1532
01:26:49,954 --> 01:26:54,626
we pried open the doorsso that everyone could… could get away.
1533
01:26:56,502 --> 01:26:58,254
But that's… that's when it happened.
1534
01:26:59,130 --> 01:27:03,301
Uh, the oxygen ignited all the fuel and…
1535
01:27:10,475 --> 01:27:11,476
that was it.
1536
01:27:12,352 --> 01:27:13,561
Guy like me thinks he's tough.
1537
01:27:13,645 --> 01:27:15,939
Thinks he can handle anythingthat's thrown at him.
1538
01:27:17,523 --> 01:27:21,778
That's until you look in the eyesof a five-year-old and a six-year-old,
1539
01:27:21,861 --> 01:27:23,196
and you tell 'em that, uh…
1540
01:27:25,365 --> 01:27:27,200
that you've been lying to 'em,
1541
01:27:27,700 --> 01:27:30,245
and that, uh, Mommy's not coming home.
1542
01:27:31,454 --> 01:27:35,792
[woman] …and asked me if he was wearinghis wedding ring, and I said, "No. Why?"
1543
01:27:38,586 --> 01:27:40,004
[Priya] You need something?
1544
01:27:40,546 --> 01:27:43,424
Oh, I thought I'd join in, uh,
1545
01:27:44,259 --> 01:27:45,635
just perhaps listen, but--
1546
01:27:45,718 --> 01:27:47,178
[Priya] Sandra, is that okay?
1547
01:27:53,184 --> 01:27:55,270

[Sandra sniffling]
1549
01:27:58,439 --> 01:28:01,192
I used to ask each time he flewfor school or work,
1550
01:28:01,276 --> 01:28:03,069
I would ask for his itinerary.
1551
01:28:05,113 --> 01:28:07,490
Just so I could breathe a little easier
1552
01:28:08,741 --> 01:28:10,326
knowing he landed…
1553
01:28:13,121 --> 01:28:14,747
back on solid ground.
1554
01:28:20,044 --> 01:28:22,171
[breathes deeply]
1555
01:28:22,255 --> 01:28:23,339
[smacks lips]
1556
01:28:23,881 --> 01:28:26,009
It takes a parent to know that feeling…
1557
01:28:28,803 --> 01:28:30,513
and I'll never have it again.
1558
01:28:36,477 --> 01:28:38,146
It's a fishing fly.
1559
01:28:39,397 --> 01:28:40,898
He made them… [clears throat]
1560
01:28:41,858 --> 01:28:43,234
We made them together.
1561
01:28:44,068 --> 01:28:46,904
My wife and I want you to keep it.
1562
01:28:48,781 --> 01:28:50,074
[Ken] Well, thank you.
1563
01:28:50,783 --> 01:28:51,784
Thank you.
1564
01:28:52,660 --> 01:28:59,042
[woman] We were told, uh, because he
suffered about 90% burns over his body,
1565
01:28:59,125 --> 01:29:05,089
he might not appearto be the same person we know him to be.
1566
01:29:06,591 --> 01:29:10,553
And then we got a callfrom the medical examiner's office
1567
01:29:10,636 --> 01:29:12,764
saying that there was a mix-up
1568
01:29:14,515 --> 01:29:17,018
and we had to make another identification.
1569
01:29:18,102 --> 01:29:20,229
It turned out we spent four days
1570
01:29:21,397 --> 01:29:23,149
at the bedside of a stranger…
1571
01:29:24,400 --> 01:29:25,568
[sniffles]
1572
01:29:26,194 --> 01:29:27,195
…while Alex…
1573
01:29:31,574 --> 01:29:32,533
While he died.
1574
01:29:34,994 --> 01:29:37,455
[man 1 on tape] You know,
my wife and I, we were thinking,
1575
01:29:37,538 --> 01:29:39,832
"Gosh, those poor people."
1576
01:29:40,333 --> 01:29:43,669
Because at first, you assumeit's… it's happening to someone else.
1577
01:29:43,753 --> 01:29:45,880
And then within a few hours,
1578
01:29:45,963 --> 01:29:49,467
they, of course, confirmedthat she was there for a meeting.
1579
01:29:49,967 --> 01:29:53,596
We realized we were one of those people.
1580
01:29:53,679 --> 01:29:55,556
I mean, it… it was staggering.
1581
01:29:56,265 --> 01:29:58,434
[Ken on tape] Sure. I'm sorry.
1582
01:29:58,518 --> 01:30:00,478
[woman 1] I was on the 85th floor.
1583
01:30:00,978 --> 01:30:03,272
We actually startedgoing down the stairs early.
1584
01:30:03,356 --> 01:30:04,816
[woman 2] Well, you can call me Jean.
1585
01:30:04,899 --> 01:30:07,276
[Ken] Jean, tell me more about your son.
1586
01:30:07,360 --> 01:30:09,612
Like, when did he move away from Iowa?
1587
01:30:09,695 --> 01:30:11,781
[Jean] In 1997.
1588
01:30:12,281 --> 01:30:14,784
He got a job as an analyst right away.
1589
01:30:14,867 --> 01:30:16,702
He was actually so excited.
1590
01:30:17,578 --> 01:30:18,496
[Ken] It's up to you,
1591
01:30:18,579 --> 01:30:20,915
but I think you should takewhat the government's giving.
1592
01:30:20,998 --> 01:30:22,834
-[man 2] I got bad anxiety.
-[Ken] Jerry.
1593
01:30:22,917 --> 01:30:25,086
[man 2] I don't know.
I don't sleep much at all.
1594
01:30:25,169 --> 01:30:28,589
-[Ken] Yeah, I can't imagine.
-[man 2] I had to move out of the city.
1595
01:30:28,673 --> 01:30:30,550
Couldn't bear seeingthe hole in the skyline.
1596
01:30:30,633 --> 01:30:33,886
[Ken] I want to do everything I can
to expedite this process.
1597
01:30:33,970 --> 01:30:36,264
-Well, Florida's nice.-[man 2] Yeah.
1598
01:30:36,347 --> 01:30:39,016
"It seems as if I don't feel anything,
1599
01:30:39,100 --> 01:30:41,436
but inside I do."
1600
01:30:42,979 --> 01:30:45,982
"Inside, I wanna burstand just talk to everyone
1601
01:30:46,065 --> 01:30:48,317
about what I'm holding in."
1602
01:30:51,028 --> 01:30:52,822
"I wanna say how much pain I have,
1603
01:30:52,905 --> 01:30:55,741
and I wanna sayall the pressure that I have."
1604
01:30:58,327 --> 01:31:00,746
"I have to control myself emotionally."
1605
01:31:01,581 --> 01:31:04,500
"I have to help with themand be strong for them,
1606
01:31:04,584 --> 01:31:07,211
but also still be strong for me."
1607
01:31:08,504 --> 01:31:09,839
"My dad was good at that."
1608
01:31:10,339 --> 01:31:12,258
"I have to be the man that he was."
1609
01:31:28,983 --> 01:31:30,443
It's not enough.
1610
01:31:33,112 --> 01:31:35,448
So we keep going,right up to the deadline.
1611
01:31:35,531 --> 01:31:38,117
Maybe we get the word out wider,make a public statement.
1612
01:31:38,201 --> 01:31:39,243
Nah.
1613
01:31:39,327 --> 01:31:41,704
If you announce this publicly,it starts to look like
1614
01:31:41,787 --> 01:31:45,625
there's a change in policy,then the law goes back to Congress…
1615
01:31:50,087 --> 01:31:52,340
{\an8}[Camille] What ifsomeone else announces it?
1616
01:31:53,049 --> 01:31:55,176
So you're meeting with people.
1617
01:31:55,843 --> 01:31:56,719
Yeah.
1618
01:31:57,595 --> 01:32:02,600
And I hear you've been telling themthat you're throwing out the formula.
1619
01:32:02,683 --> 01:32:06,312
Nope. The law gives me discretion,which someone reminded me.
1620
01:32:06,395 --> 01:32:07,730
So I'm going to use it.
1621
01:32:07,813 --> 01:32:12,902
But I promise you, if people come aboard,I will do everything I can to help them.
1622
01:32:15,112 --> 01:32:16,364
[Charles breathes deeply]
1623
01:32:16,864 --> 01:32:19,617
Guaranteed by what, your word?
1624
01:32:19,700 --> 01:32:21,244
Oh, Charles. I… I mean…
1625
01:32:22,495 --> 01:32:23,329
What?
1626
01:32:23,871 --> 01:32:25,206
No, I'm sorry.
1627
01:32:25,289 --> 01:32:29,460
Mr. Feinberg,you've been telling us for two years
1628
01:32:30,086 --> 01:32:33,172
that you're nothing but a numbers cruncherfor the government,
1629
01:32:33,798 --> 01:32:36,133
and now you're asking us to trust you.
1630
01:32:36,217 --> 01:32:37,635
No, I'm asking you.
1631
01:32:38,386 --> 01:32:40,930
You already have their trust,and you earned it.
1632
01:32:41,430 --> 01:32:42,932
Help them trust me too.
1633
01:32:45,768 --> 01:32:47,436
Are you just trying to win?
1634
01:32:47,520 --> 01:32:49,647
No, I'm trying to make things right.
1635
01:32:58,990 --> 01:33:00,950
When's your deposition with Lee Quinn?
1636
01:33:02,285 --> 01:33:03,703
Uh, Monday.
1637
01:33:05,288 --> 01:33:07,498
He's gonna tell you you wanted kids.
1638
01:33:09,500 --> 01:33:12,837
Forty-year-old married femalewho was pregnant,
1639
01:33:12,920 --> 01:33:15,715
or even she's just trying to get pregnant,
1640
01:33:16,215 --> 01:33:18,426
the damage settlement shoots way up.
1641
01:33:18,509 --> 01:33:20,219
Way up. Skyward.
1642
01:33:20,303 --> 01:33:22,805
And Quinn's gonna coach youthrough every step.
1643
01:33:22,888 --> 01:33:25,266
When to cry, when to quiver your lip.
1644
01:33:29,562 --> 01:33:30,855
How do you know this?
1645
01:33:30,938 --> 01:33:32,481
'Cause we're the same guy.
1646
01:33:33,274 --> 01:33:34,442
That's what I'd do.
1647
01:33:37,570 --> 01:33:39,572
[instrumental music playing]
1648
01:33:59,508 --> 01:34:01,135
[Camille] Ashcroft stood you up?
1649
01:34:02,094 --> 01:34:05,514
[Ken] Uh, he's under pressure of his own.
1650
01:34:08,643 --> 01:34:10,227
Do you think it's a message?
1651
01:34:10,728 --> 01:34:12,355
Give Quinn what he wants?
1652
01:34:13,356 --> 01:34:14,649
I'm not suggesting it.
1653
01:34:15,775 --> 01:34:18,944
There's still time. You always saythey'll come in at the deadline.
1654
01:34:19,654 --> 01:34:20,780
What if I'm wrong?
1655
01:34:23,240 --> 01:34:24,867
What if I'm wrong, Camille?
1656
01:34:30,456 --> 01:34:31,290
Sorry.
1657
01:34:31,791 --> 01:34:35,002
You did everything you could.Everyone did everything they could.
1658
01:34:36,337 --> 01:34:39,840
-[knocking on door]-A call for you, Ken. Lawyer from Queens.
1659
01:34:39,924 --> 01:34:41,092
Name's Cuthbert.
1660
01:34:41,175 --> 01:34:42,426
Take a message, please.
1661
01:34:42,510 --> 01:34:45,346
[Gloria] He already left you three.It's about the Donato case.
1662
01:34:45,429 --> 01:34:48,391
He saysif you don't tell the widow, he will,
1663
01:34:48,474 --> 01:34:50,893
and tell you that you have until tomorrow.
1664
01:34:52,061 --> 01:34:53,187
[Ken sighs]
1665
01:34:55,690 --> 01:34:56,691
[Gloria] Ken?
1666
01:34:59,193 --> 01:35:01,112
[woman] Grab my bag out of the trunk,please.
1667
01:35:02,530 --> 01:35:04,323
Come on, guys. It's time to come in.
1668
01:35:04,824 --> 01:35:06,200
[Frank] Karen isn't home yet.
1669
01:35:06,992 --> 01:35:07,993
[breathes deeply]
1670
01:35:08,077 --> 01:35:09,495
She told me you called.
1671
01:35:10,121 --> 01:35:11,747
Said you wouldn't tell her why.
1672
01:35:12,248 --> 01:35:13,582
When will she be back?
1673
01:35:15,501 --> 01:35:16,752
Put away your checkbook.
1674
01:35:17,253 --> 01:35:18,587
We're joining the lawsuit.
1675
01:35:19,630 --> 01:35:22,466
Well, you'll… you'll do whateveryou have to do.
1676
01:35:22,550 --> 01:35:23,467
[scoffs]
1677
01:35:23,968 --> 01:35:26,220
Yeah. But you know better, right?
1678
01:35:26,303 --> 01:35:29,432
No, I… I would not presume or judge.
1679
01:35:29,515 --> 01:35:30,391
Bullshit.
1680
01:35:31,016 --> 01:35:34,019
You see her being loyal to a dead guy,you can't imagine why.
1681
01:35:34,729 --> 01:35:37,440
Frank, the signing deadline is Saturday,
1682
01:35:37,523 --> 01:35:40,818
and after that you won't see me anymore.
1683
01:35:43,070 --> 01:35:45,197
It's the first thing you saidI'm glad to hear.
1684
01:35:47,032 --> 01:35:49,493
[Ken] I'm still gonnahave to talk to Karen first.
1685
01:35:50,035 --> 01:35:52,163
[Frank] Yeah, like I said, she's not home.
1686
01:35:52,705 --> 01:35:54,373
Tell me, I'll pass it along.
1687
01:35:55,332 --> 01:35:57,084
I don't think you would, Frank.
1688
01:35:57,168 --> 01:35:59,170
In fact, I think you already know.
1689
01:36:01,172 --> 01:36:04,508
You don't have to protect him anymore.Nick's gone.
1690
01:36:04,592 --> 01:36:07,428
You didn't know Nick. He was a good man.
1691
01:36:08,512 --> 01:36:09,930
This is not about Nick.
1692
01:36:18,731 --> 01:36:20,107
He went back in for me.
1693
01:36:20,691 --> 01:36:21,734
Into the tower.
1694
01:36:22,735 --> 01:36:24,612
-Did you know that?-[Ken] No.
1695
01:36:26,363 --> 01:36:29,074
For all I know,he heard the evac orders on his radio,
1696
01:36:29,158 --> 01:36:31,410
and he said,"Fuck it, my brother's in there."
1697
01:36:31,494 --> 01:36:33,996
He died trying to save me,and you think I should…
1698
01:36:34,079 --> 01:36:35,664
I should forget about that?
1699
01:36:37,166 --> 01:36:38,626
Don't you have a family?
1700
01:36:39,126 --> 01:36:42,046
If you died tomorrow, what's the worstthey'd find out about you, huh?
1701
01:36:42,129 --> 01:36:44,882
-Maybe you're not such a hero either.-[Ken] I'm not a hero.
1702
01:36:44,965 --> 01:36:46,675
Yeah, well, Nick was.
1703
01:36:46,759 --> 01:36:49,345
Nick was.He was a family man. He was a good man.
1704
01:36:49,428 --> 01:36:51,806
And that's whyhe'd want his children taken care of.
1705
01:36:52,306 --> 01:36:53,307
[Ken] All of them.
1706
01:36:53,849 --> 01:36:55,851
Frank, if I were you,
1707
01:36:56,644 --> 01:36:57,520
honestly,
1708
01:36:58,771 --> 01:37:00,231
I don't know what I would do.
1709
01:37:00,314 --> 01:37:01,273
I can't imagine.
1710
01:37:01,941 --> 01:37:04,527
I might… I might wanna sue the hellout of everyone.
1711
01:37:05,486 --> 01:37:07,696
But you're not the only ones left behind.
1712
01:37:07,780 --> 01:37:09,198
I know you know that.
1713
01:37:11,325 --> 01:37:14,662
That family wants the moneyso they can just move on,
1714
01:37:14,745 --> 01:37:16,622
and I think they deserve it,
1715
01:37:16,705 --> 01:37:18,874
and I think Nick would think so too.
1716
01:37:23,295 --> 01:37:24,296
That's why I'm…
1717
01:37:25,381 --> 01:37:27,842
I'm gonna count themas equal beneficiaries.
1718
01:37:27,925 --> 01:37:29,677
I just thought Karen should know,
1719
01:37:29,760 --> 01:37:31,512
and I wanted to tell her myself
1720
01:37:32,221 --> 01:37:34,765
so she didn't have to read itin the public record.
1721
01:37:34,849 --> 01:37:35,975
[Karen] What are their names?
1722
01:37:36,058 --> 01:37:37,726

Did I?

You're working too hard, Ken.

-Get yourself a drink.-No, I'm… I'm fine.

Let's just get on with it.

You poisoned the well.
1760
01:41:12,107 --> 01:41:13,192
You did, Lee.
1761
01:41:13,776 --> 01:41:16,236
You poisoned the well.You played on people's fear
1762
01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:18,489
and their pain and their anger,
1763
01:41:18,572 --> 01:41:20,407
their distrust of government,
1764
01:41:20,491 --> 01:41:22,826

1765

Look, my girl's birthday is today.

What?

01:41:51,772 --> 01:41:52,731
I said that.

01:41:53,315 --> 01:41:55,150
[laughing] Yeah, you probably did.
1774
01:41:55,776 --> 01:41:58,070
You've always been my hero, Ken.
1775
01:41:58,946 --> 01:42:01,782
I watched you arguein front of Fuld, 1984.

You had hair then.

"We've told himit's not the money that we're after."
1794
01:43:39,379 --> 01:43:44,134
"It's for our own government, this system,to treat us all with dignity, respect."
1795
01:43:44,718 --> 01:43:46,720
"Well, I can't speak for the system,

How's that sound?

What… What I can do is, um,is fax the materials to a copy center.

I'm sure you've heard the news.
1858
01:47:08,046 --> 01:47:11,299
[inhales shakily] You should knowbecause of your case,
1859
01:47:12,926 --> 01:47:16,221
we were able to accommodatea great number of people
1860
01:47:16,304 --> 01:47:18,682
in similar relationships in New York.
1861
01:47:22,644 --> 01:47:23,645

1864
01:47:32,821 --> 01:47:35,949
we were not able to accommodate yours.
1865
01:47:39,035 --> 01:47:40,162
I'm so sorry.
1866
01:47:43,874 --> 01:47:45,959
[smacks lips] I'm sure that doesn't help.

1870
01:48:04,728 --> 01:48:06,563
I'm gonna talk to him real quick.
1871
01:48:08,940 --> 01:48:10,775
Hey, Mr. Feinberg. I, uh…
1872
01:48:12,569 --> 01:48:14,821
-Look, I'm sorry.-Come on. Come on over here.
1873
01:48:17,365 --> 01:48:18,742
I, um…
1874
01:48:21,703 --> 01:48:22,704
I just…
1875
01:48:25,040 --> 01:48:26,249
I didn't wanna know.
1876
01:48:27,209 --> 01:48:28,418
I'm not stupid.
1877
01:48:29,044 --> 01:48:30,045
You know? [chuckles]
1878
01:48:32,964 --> 01:48:35,634
He'd get a call after dinner,
1879
01:48:36,635 --> 01:48:38,303
and he would say it was Frank,
1880
01:48:38,887 --> 01:48:42,933
you know, and there was, like,a three-alarm in the city or whatever.
1881
01:48:44,476 --> 01:48:45,936
He'd kiss me goodbye,
1882
01:48:46,019 --> 01:48:48,647
and I would pretend likeI didn't know that he was lying.
1883
01:48:48,730 --> 01:48:49,940
[chuckles]
1884
01:48:50,023 --> 01:48:51,650
Then later, I'd be over with Irene,
1885
01:48:51,733 --> 01:48:54,528
and Frank would come homeafter drinking with the boys.
1886
01:48:54,611 --> 01:48:57,364
And I would say,"How'd that three-alarm go?"
1887
01:48:57,447 --> 01:48:59,157
And, you know, he would look at me
1888
01:49:00,116 --> 01:49:03,078
with the straightest face you've ever seenin your life, and he'd say,
1889
01:49:03,161 --> 01:49:04,287
[laughs]
1890
01:49:05,539 --> 01:49:06,748
"Nicky's mopping up,
1891
01:49:08,166 --> 01:49:09,751
but he was a real hero tonight."
1892
01:49:09,834 --> 01:49:11,086
"You should've seen him."
1893
01:49:13,171 --> 01:49:16,007
"Might be a while though,so don't wait up."
1894
01:49:19,052 --> 01:49:21,638
And, you know,I don't… I don't hate Frank for that.
1895
