00:00Do you know what it's like to watch someone you love endure constant senseless pain?
00:13Of course you don't.
00:15You're incapable of empathy.
00:21I tried to do it the right way, but you made it impossible.
00:30And now, I understand suffering.
00:34All I feel is rage in my chest.
00:43I live with a hole in my heart.
00:49And soon you will too.
00:52This is for you, sis.
00:55This is for all of us.
00:56Her chemotherapy is supposed to start today.
01:01Please, please, just check one more time.
01:03And when you should calm down, I will check one more time for you, okay?
01:05Okay.
01:06Your insurance did not her claim.
01:08Treatment is canceled.
01:12Canceled?
01:13What?
01:17So you're telling me there's nothing we can do?
01:19You want to continue treatment?
01:21Then pay out of pocket.
01:22Okay.
01:26You will die.
01:32I've done all that I can.
01:34You still got a problem?
01:36You can appeal or take it up with the CEO of your insurance company.
01:40I have to appeal or Amelia is going to die.
01:58Say, I don't feel...
02:00What?
02:01What?
02:05I still believe that someone up there might listen.
02:08They denied the appeal?
02:31No.
02:32No, I don't want to die.
02:33I don't want to die.
02:34I have a tail.
02:34You're okay.
02:35You're okay.
02:35You're okay.
02:36Someone help.
02:37Someone help.
02:39Doctor, hello?
02:42Please.
02:43She's all I have left.
02:44Please, someone save her.
02:52Your sister's leukemia has spread,
02:54and I gave her emergency stem cell transplant.
02:56But without continuing the treatment,
02:58she has no chance.
03:08I'm done going down with these money-hungered assholes.
03:27I'm going to cover my sister's treatment or I'll...
03:30Insurance troubles?
03:34TB Health is killing my little sister.
03:37She's only nine.
03:39Evil snakes.
03:40My husband's gone because they denied every last claim.
03:44It would have been his 63rd birthday today.
03:48They were his favorite.
03:50Now I can't have one in his honor
03:53because TB Health wouldn't cover my tremor medications anymore.
04:01Thank you, young man.
04:03Sorry about your sister.
04:07I'm sorry about your husband.
04:08Those greedy bastards don't care if any of us live or die
04:14as long as their pockets are lined.
04:16Don't let them get you down.
04:18We've got to fight back.
04:19If I could just meet him face-to-face.
04:32If I could just tell him...
04:34Check your hands there.
04:37I'm going to show you right now.
04:38All right, you know the drill.
04:40Bound your horses, boys.
04:42I'll take 100K and the crib keeper's wife over there.
04:45She won't last a week.
04:47I'm going to get 200,000.
04:48I'm a cancer kid.
04:49Those little coffins are so cute.
04:53Don't you talk about my sister?
04:57Don't you talk about my sister?
04:59You asshole.
05:00You go apologize to her right now.
05:02Make me.
05:03What do you want, dipshit?
05:04Mr. Thornwald, you're coming to deny my sister's leukemia treatment.
05:07I want you to do the right thing.
05:09Save her life.
05:09You come near me again, you're going to be very sorry.
05:12It's you who will be sorry.
05:33If you won't hear me out, I'll make you.
05:39Hey, who are you?
05:52Stop! Get back here!
05:54Security, catch him!
06:09The fuck is this?
06:12You underestimated me.
06:14You underestimated me.
06:16I'm sorry, who are you?
06:19The guy who sits there you're slowly killing!
06:21She's only nine years old!
06:23She has her whole life ahead of her!
06:26You want a bottle of crybaby?
06:29You think I give a fuck about some snotty kid's wasted potential?
06:33It was denied.
06:34So what?
06:35That's business.
06:35It's not my fault you're too broke to save your sister's life.
06:39You heartless son of a...
06:42Jake!
06:43When the world finds out what you've done to children,
06:46how many people your business has killed...
06:49Bill, what?
06:51Nobody's going to listen to you.
06:56You're not even a pimple on my ass.
06:58You shouldn't have done that.
07:24Gallons of blood on your hands, but soon yours will be on mine.
07:27Don't give up, Amelia.
07:30Keep fighting.
07:32I'll find another way.
07:46No.
07:47Keep this.
07:49So Mom and Daddy, you love them.
07:51I hate how quiet it is without you.
08:13You were just a kid.
08:16You had a whole life unlived.
08:19A future.
08:21But they took it from you.
08:24They denied you.
08:25Almost enough to pay for the treatment that would have saved your life.
08:46A sick joke.
08:47How naive to trust the system.
08:53To believe that a rich health insurance CEO would actually care about people.
08:57It's unjust.
09:02I'm done being a pawn.
09:03You think you're untouchable.
09:15You hide behind your billions while the rest of us fight for scraps.
09:20But all that's going to change because you're not a god.
09:30When my bullet hits you, you'll bleed.
09:34You think you're untouchable.
09:35You think you're untouchable.
09:36You think you're untouchable.
09:37You think you're untouchable.
09:38You think you're untouchable.
09:39You think you're untouchable.
09:40You think you're untouchable.
09:41You think you're untouchable.
09:42You think you're untouchable.
09:43You think you're untouchable.
09:44You think you're untouchable.
09:45You think you're untouchable.
09:46You think you're untouchable.
09:47You think you're untouchable.

09:51You think you're untouchable.
09:52You think you're untouchable.
09:53You think you're untouchable.
09:54You think you're untouchable.
09:55You think you're untouchable.
09:56She'll never get to see this amazing place.
10:19You took everything away from her and she's not the only one.
10:23You'll pay for it all.
10:30Do you have a reservation?
10:32Mario Lanchotti.
10:34Why so serious, Batman?
10:38If only she knew.
10:41So, Mario, are you here for business or...?
10:52Pleasure.
10:54Pleasure.
10:55...
11:02Off to work.
11:04Off to school.
11:06Just an ordinary day.
11:08We should be celebrating.
11:21But you're gone.
11:23And now everything is about to change.
11:26Remember me, Mr. Thornwald?
11:27Get out of my way, scum.
11:31Remember me, Mr. Thornwald?
11:34Get out of my way, scum.
11:39You'll never deny anyone else ever again.
11:45Remember me, Mr. Thornwald?
11:54Get out of my way, scum.
12:01You'll never deny anyone else ever again.
12:12Now run!
12:15I thought I'd regret it.
12:38But this feels like justice.
12:51Now time for phase two.
12:53Chief, it's over here.
13:07Let's go.
13:07Who would murder the CEO of DV Health?
13:16What happened here, Chief?
13:17Randall Thornwald was murdered in cold blood.
13:23Hey, Chief, check this out.
13:25So, and there's two more, defend and oppose?
13:30You don't think it's some whack job vigilante?
13:34You don't think it's over here.
13:36Mere moments ago, a man now identified as 54-year-old Randall Thornall, CEO of DV Health, has been shot dead, using bullets labeled, deny, defend and depose.
13:47Police are speculating that the assailant might be a vigilante.
13:51Whoever did this, enjoy your freedom, because we will hunt you down.
13:59And when I catch you, you'll never see the light of day again.
14:04I need to walk free long enough to make sure my message is heard loud and clear.
14:08The shooter who won a life, Finna Randall Thornwald, for all day-lighted.
14:11I did this so others won't die like my sister did.
14:21But what would she think of me now?
14:23I have to go back.
14:33Yes, Mr. Mayor, I know Randall Thornwald was a close personal friend.
14:43He was a goddamn visionary.
14:45And we're doing everything we can to catch him.
14:47Find the psychopath that murdered him, or you'll never work again.
14:50Sir, we'll squash this cocky fucker faster than you can...
14:54I'll call you back, Mr. Mayor.
14:58CCTV caught the perp biking in the Central Park.
15:01Hit it.
15:08I shouldn't have come back, but I can't let this go.
15:11Over there.
15:18They're faster than I thought.
15:21Search the area. I have an email.
15:24Where could it...
15:47Could this be a clue?
15:49Lieutenant.
15:50I knew there would be sacrifices.
15:56I have to get out of here.
15:59This will keep him busy.
16:03Let's see how long it takes for them to fix that.
16:06Y'all already know my struggle.
16:09So when I heard deny defender...
16:11On the bullet?
16:12Like, end-living is wrong, but I am on the edge.
16:16DB health is corrupt.
16:18And karma's a bitch, hunty.
16:19So I'm rooting for Mateo.
16:21Excuse me, officer.
16:26Excuse me, officer.
16:28I just found this.
16:34Yeah, I was over there.
16:35You contaminated evidence, you idiot.
16:38My bad.
16:39Hey, chief.

16:41Get the fuck out of here.
16:54Give me that.
17:08There's a note.
17:09How much paper for a life?
17:14And you keep raising the price.
17:16Who gave them the right to choose?
17:19Time to adjust and pay their dues.
17:24Take this to forensics.
17:26Got it.
17:28The plot is thickening.

25:4726-year-old Matteo Leone has been identified as the CEO shooter.
25:52A $10,000 reward is being offered for any info that comes into our office.
25:57My name is out there now, but I won't hide for much longer.
26:10I wish someone didn't have to die to make them listen.

26:38The healthcare system has failed the people, and it needs to be taken down.
26:45This won't bring Amelia back.
26:46But it will save Rachel.
26:47.
26:49.
26:52.
27:07.
27:09This won't bring Amelia back, but it will save millions.
27:28I'm not a monster. Accountability is part of the plan.
27:39Have a good one. And I'm almost ready to take it.
28:09I can't run forever. One last thing to check off the list.
28:23Let me get a McCrazy with Oreo space.
28:30It's fire. Can I have a bite?
28:33What? You want a bite?
28:35Yeah.
28:36If you pay for your own, I guess, sure.
28:39Maybe, okay, sure. Can I get two then?
28:45And you can keep the change.
28:48No fucking way.
28:51Hey.
28:55I got the car you're looking for.
28:58My time as a free man is ending.
29:01But are any of us really free?
29:11Come on, come on, come on.
29:13Come on, come on, come on, come on.
29:14Well, well, well.
29:16Matteo Leone.
29:18Please, don't do anything stupid.
29:20Is there a problem, officers?
29:28You little shit.
29:29Chief, it's all here.
29:31You're under arrest, motherfucker.
29:42You have the right to remain silent.
29:44Go ahead and arrest me.
29:46The people are about to wake up.
29:48No way.
29:49If you're reading this, I am in police custody.
29:58I won't stop fighting, but I can't do it alone.
30:01Will you join me?
30:07Matteo Leone is a cold-blooded killer who brutally murdered CEO Randall Thornwald.
30:12For his crimes, we are seeking the death penalty.
30:16How do you plead?
30:18They have it all wrong.
30:21Not guilty.
30:27Answer me, you shit-eating cockroach!
30:29Or should I pull the teeth out from your pretty little smile?
30:38Don't you realize you're gonna get the death penalty?
30:40You don't realize nobody's free until everybody's free?
30:47Let him go, Chief!
30:49Let him go!
30:53Can't let this sad sack have all the fun.
30:55You think you're a hero?
31:03You're a terrorist.
31:05And I won't rest until you're on death row.
31:09And you're afraid of me because you can't stop what I started.
31:13You're losing control, Mayor Cameron.
31:16Is that what you think?
31:17Well, let's see what the streets have to say.
31:19Come on.
31:26After you, gentlemen.
31:40Hang in there, Matteo! We're all on your side!
31:42You're fighting down!
31:47You're going down!
31:48Great use of resources, guys.
31:53No talking.
31:55The system is designed to annihilate scum like you.
32:00Burn in hell, you filthy criminal.
32:03You'll fry in that chair.
32:05You scared of me, Mr. CEO?
32:06Scared?
32:07Where's your money now?
32:08You're empty threats.
32:09You think you're some sort of superhero?
32:11You're shit on the bottom of a shoe.
32:13A fly about to be swatted.
32:15Easy for you to say.
32:17Surrounded by cops in your bulletproof vests.
32:19Cowards!
32:21All of you!
32:22I could rip you apart!
32:29You're nothing but a filthy criminal.
32:32Powerless.
32:34Stupid.
32:35Pathetic.
32:36You're no one.
32:37Back off!
32:39Let the court decide.
32:41Innocent is unproven guilty!
32:43Innocent is unproven guilty!
32:45Innocent is unproven guilty!
32:47Innocent is unproven guilty!
32:49It's completely unjust!
32:50It's an insult to the intelligence of the American people!
32:52And their lived experience!
32:57It's an insult to the American people and their lived experience!
33:00They can yell all they want, but they can't keep you from running in jail.
33:03Riding in jail.
33:04Come on.
33:06Hear me!
33:08See you in court.
33:18No one can protect you in here.
33:22Let's see how long you last.
33:29Maybe I deserve everything that's coming to me.
33:33What you in here for, princess?
33:36What's your name, boy?
33:39Better start answering me, son, before I fuck you up, boy.
33:43I'm gonna fuck you up so bad they ain't gonna be able to recognize you when I'm fucking through.
33:47Now what's your fucking name, boy?
33:51Matteo Leone.
33:56Oh, shit.
33:58You to your jester.
34:03Dixon, you see the brothers in here, they're all gonna test you and they're gonna fuck with you.
34:10But they gotta get through us first.
34:13And my man Terrence over here is gonna get you cleaned up.
34:15Yo, T, clean this man up.
34:18Take a seat, bro.
34:18The denial letter came a week after we buried her.
34:32I'm so sorry that happened.
34:34And what you did made a lot of guys in here feel a lot better.
34:39Just feel less hopeless.
34:41There's no going back.
34:47I'll fight to the death.
34:52Janet here, but the man of the hour hasn't shown yet.
34:55If you didn't know, today is the first day of the trial of the century.
34:59The United States versus Matteo Leone, also known as the adjuster.
35:04You saw the wanted posters.
35:07Corrupt CEO's time is running out.
35:10You crusty plebeians could never get past security.
35:13Oh, yeah?
35:14You sure about that?
35:15It's called survival of the fix.
35:18The vibes are giving pressure cooker.
35:21Get her, get her.
35:28Get her, get her.
35:28Come on.
35:28The people are waking up.
35:55Enjoy it while it lasts.
35:56Our case is airtight.
35:58After this, nothing but prison and death for a sadistic monster like you.
36:03You say about that?
36:06Talk to my client again, and I'll have you disbarred.
36:09I'll see you in court.
36:10All right.
36:10Let's go.
36:15Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, Matteo Leone viciously targeted Randall Thornwald
36:41Rather than grieve with dignity when his sister died of cancer, he cruelly premeditated the murder of a loving family man
36:50A successful visionary CEO worth billions
36:54Who purposely profited off of people's pain
36:57These witnesses will paint a picture of just how dangerous Matteo Leone is
37:11He could have saved his sister, but he was too broke to pay
37:15He had motive
37:16He was aggressive from the start
37:18He's a bully
37:19He pushed me and threatened my husband
37:23He wanted them to suffer
37:25That's not true
37:26He thought he was so smart with all his messages
37:29Mr. Leone is entitled, manipulable, and frankly, psychotic
37:36Thank you, Mayor Camden
37:40For my final witness, I call Brady Thornwald
37:44Randall Thornwald's son
37:46Brady, how has the death of your father, your hero
38:04Affected you?
38:07Will this kid be the nail in my coffin?
38:11My father's not my hero
38:16Uh, you mean?
38:21I mean, I was incredibly devastated when that cold-blooded killer took my father's life away from me
38:33Life away from me
38:36You know what? Fuck that
38:38My dad enjoyed hurting people
38:40His entire vision as CEO was built on keeping people sick
38:45And I'm not just gonna sit here and lie because some company paid me to
38:48You disrespect your own father
38:50After everything he did for you
38:52You know what? Lock me up
38:53I don't care
38:54Objection! He can't just
38:56Sit down
38:57You're nothing lower than suing sludge
38:59Mr. Mayor, first you treat him like some kind of sue event
39:03Order!
39:05Mayor Camden, one more word and you'll be held in contempt
39:14Yeah, yeah
39:15No further questions
39:16Based on the evidence provided
39:20Matteo Leone undoubtedly is guilty of murder in the first degree
39:27Prosecution rests
39:29Ms. Weinhardt
39:31Judge will shine
39:35People to jury
39:37As the prosecution detailed
39:40My client, Matteo Leone, shot and killed the CEO of DB Health
39:46Randall Thornwall, dead
39:50Someone had to do it
39:56That's right
39:58My client does not deny killing Mr. Thornwall
40:01What he does deny, it was unwarranted
40:04Mr. Leone had to act drastically to save lives
40:09And today, we're here to defend his right
40:12So he can defend himself and others
40:15From becoming victims of a murderous corporation
40:18Order!
40:28I call Patty Sinclair to the stand
40:43Please, tell us what happened to your husband
40:48Clay and I, we just found out that we were going to be grandparents
40:53Then one night, Clay had a heart attack
40:59A doctor prescribed a treatment plan, but DB Health said no, not medically necessary
41:05It would cost hundreds of thousands out of pocket
41:08So we appealed, but all of our claims were denied
41:12I was denied a walking boot from my fractured ankle
41:15It got so bad they had to amputate, but they couldn't because they don't make prosthetics
41:19I got addicted to pain medication, but denied the surgery to cure my pain for good
41:24We went bankrupt, and now we're homeless
41:27He couldn't afford it, so he died, appealed, but now she's paralyzed
41:33If DB Health had approved my husband's surgery, he would still be alive
41:46This young man, Mateo, saw how so many of us were being taken advantage of by DB Health's predatory business
41:55And he did what no one else had the courage or actually the balls to do
42:03He stood up
42:07Thank you
42:09I couldn't have said it any better
42:11Thank you
42:13Your Honor, I call Mr. Mateo Leoti to stand
42:18This isn't a circus! Order in the court!
42:37Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?
42:44If you swear to listen
42:46I swear to tell the truth
42:51Mr. Leone, what drove you to kill the CEO of DB Health?
43:07Your Honor, it'll be better if I show you
43:09Oh, objection! This is new evidence not found today
43:12Sit down, Counselor
43:13Go ahead
43:23Thanks for being here
43:25While I still have a voice
43:27I want to tell you why
43:31This is Amelia
43:33My nine-year-old sister
43:34She was just a baby when our parents died
43:39And it's been the two of us against the world ever since
43:43The doctor said she could beat leukemia if she started treatment right away
43:47But DB Health wouldn't cover it
43:51Even with a decent job I couldn't afford to pay out of pocket
43:54So I appealed
43:56I was optimistic
43:58I didn't know that there are almost 200,000 health insurance related deaths per year
44:03As we waited for a response
44:06I watched my amazing little sister get sicker
44:10And then DB Health denied her appeal
44:12I did everything I could to fight back
44:17I even pleaded with the CEO himself to save her life
44:22He told me it was nothing personal
44:26It's just the business of keeping people sick
44:29And then he smiled
44:33And then he smiled
44:37Amelia died
44:40And I found out our story is very, very common
44:47I'm talking mass corruption leading to massive amounts of lives ruined
44:51Hundreds of lives ruined
44:53Hundreds of thousands of lives ruined
44:55All to fill their pockets
44:57But we're bigger than them
45:00Alright, we're bigger than them
45:02If we stand up together
45:04Who's with me?
45:16The defense rests
45:22Nothing more to do but wait
45:25After thorough consideration
45:28Purple Cross Health will discontinue our limited anesthesia policy
45:32Our company will end its wait and see policy beginning at the first of the month
45:37We'll be halting our lottery policy effectively
45:40Whatever happens today
45:42You did this
45:43We the jury find Matteo Leone
45:51Dear Tracy
45:53Your letter made me tear up
45:55I am so sorry you and your daughter had to go through such senseless pain
45:59No one should have to experience that kind of systemic failure
46:02You are an inspiration
46:04And your daughter is lucky to have a mother who didn't back down
46:07All my best, Matteo Leone
46:14Death or life in prison
46:19At least I said my piece
46:21Death or life in prison
46:23At least I said my piece
46:43You
