Short filmTranscript
00:01CEO of DB Health has been shot dead.
00:04Matteo Leone has been identified as a shooter.
00:07This is for you, Amelia.
00:10My nine-year-old sister.
00:13Your insurance died her claim.
00:15She was fine.
00:17No, Amelia!
00:19I want you to do the right thing.
00:20That's business.
00:22You will never deny anyone again.
00:25Search the area.
00:26I didn't know that there are almost 200,000 health insurance-related deaths per year.
00:32Matteo Leone.
00:34Go ahead and arrest me.
00:35The people are about to wake up.
00:37Who has the right to choose?
00:39Adjustings now or pay your bills?
00:41The United States versus Matteo Leone, also known as the adjuster.
00:45He's a murderer.
00:46You think you're a hero?
00:48You're a terrorist.
00:49For the second charge, first-degree murder, we, the jury, find Matteo Leone...
00:56Do you know what it's like to watch someone you love endure constant senseless pain?
01:13Of course you don't.
01:15You're incapable of empathy.
01:18I tried to do it the right way.
01:24But you made it impossible.
01:27And now, I understand suffering.
01:32All I feel is rage in my chest.
01:37I live with a hole in my heart.
01:50And soon you will too.
01:53This is for you, sis.
01:56This is for all of us.
01:58Her chemotherapy is supposed to start today.
02:01Please, please, just check one more time.
02:03You should calm down.
02:04I will check one more time for you, okay?
02:06Okay.
02:07Your insurance did not her claim.
02:08The treatment is canceled.
02:13Canceled?
02:14What?
02:17So you're telling me there's nothing we can do?
02:19You want to continue treatment?
02:21Then pay out of pocket.
02:31You will die.
02:33I've done all that I can.
02:35Still got a problem?
02:36You can appeal or take it up with the CEO of your insurance company.
02:51I have to appeal.
02:52Or Amelia's gonna die.
02:54I have to appeal.
02:55Or Amelia's gonna die.
02:58Dale.
02:59I don't feel good.
03:01What?
03:06I still believe that someone up there might listen.
03:21They denied the appeal?
03:31No.
03:32No.
03:33I don't want to die.
03:34I don't want to die.
03:35It's okay, Amelia.
03:36You're okay.
03:37You're okay.
03:38You're gonna be okay.
03:39Someone help.
03:40Someone help.
03:41Doctor, hello?
03:43Please.
03:44She's all I have left.
03:45Please, someone save her.
03:52Your sister's leukemia has spread.
03:54And I gave her emergency stem cell transplant.
03:56But without continuing the treatment,
03:58she has no chance.
04:21I'm done going down with these money-hungered assholes.
04:28Gonna cover my sister's treatment or I'll...
04:31Insurance troubles?
04:35TB Health is killing my little sister.
04:38She's only nine.
04:39Evil snakes.
04:41My husband's gone because they denied every last claim.
04:45It would have been his sixth and third birthday today.
04:49They were his favorite.
04:51Now I can't have one in his honor because...
04:54TB Health wouldn't cover my tremor medications anymore.
05:02Thank you, young man.
05:04Sorry about your sister.
05:07I'm sorry about your husband.
05:12Those greedy bastards don't care if any of us live or die
05:14as long as their pockets are lined.
05:17Don't let them get you down.
05:18We've got to fight back.
05:19If I could just meet him face to face.
05:33If I could just tell him.
05:35Check your hands there.
05:37We'll show you right now.
05:38All right, you know the drill.
05:40Bound your horses, boys.
05:42We'll take 100K and the crib keeper's wife over there.
05:45She won't last a week.
05:47I'm gonna get 200,000 on the cancer, kid.
05:49Those little coffins are so cute.
05:53Don't you talk about my sister!
05:56Don't you talk about my sister!
05:59You asshole!
06:00You go apologize to her right now!
06:02Make me!
06:04What do you want, dipshit?
06:05Mr. Thornwald!
06:06You're coming to deny my sister's leukemia treatment!
06:08I want you to do the right thing!
06:09Save her life!
06:10You come hear me again, you're gonna be very sorry.
06:12It's you who will be sorry!
06:34If you won't hear me out, I'll make you.
06:42Hey!
06:51Who are you?
06:53Stop! Get back here!
06:55Security, catch him!
06:56The fuck is this?
07:12You underestimated me.
07:14You underestimated me.
07:17I'm sorry, who are you?
07:19The guy who sits there you're slowly killing!
07:22He's only nine years old!
07:24She has her whole life ahead of her!
07:27You want a bottle cry, baby?
07:29You think I give a fuck about some snotty kid's wasted potential?
07:33He was denied, so what?
07:35That's business.
07:37It's not my fault you're too broke to save your sister's life.
07:40You heartless son of a...
07:42Jake!
07:44When the world finds out what you've done to children,
07:47how many people your business has killed!
07:49Bill, what?
07:51Nobody's gonna listen to you.
07:53You're not even a pimple on my ass.
07:56You're not even a pimple on my ass.
08:03You!
08:05You!
08:07You!
08:09You!
08:10Randall!
08:12Randall!
08:14You shouldn't have done that!
08:17Gallons of blood on your hands, but soon yours will be on mine.
08:28Don't give up, Amelia.
08:30Keep fighting.
08:32I'll find another way.
08:33No.
08:47Keep this.
08:49So, Mom and Daddy, you love them.
08:51No!
08:55No!
08:56No!
08:57Amelia!
08:58No!
08:59Amelia!
09:02Doctors!
09:03Doctors!
09:05Amelia!
09:11I hate how quiet it is without you.
09:14You were just a kid.
09:16You had a whole life unlived.
09:19A future.
09:21But they took it from you.
09:24They denied you.
09:25Almost enough to pay for the treatment that would have saved your life.
09:46A sick joke.
09:47How naive to trust the system, to believe that a rich health insurance CEO would actually care about people.
10:00It's unjust.
10:02I'm done being a pawn.
10:03You think you're untouchable.
10:15You hide behind your billions while the rest of us fight for scraps.
10:24But all that's gonna change.
10:27Because you're not a god.
10:29When my bullet hits you.
10:33You'll bleed.
10:59You're not a god.
11:04She'll never get to see this amazing place.
11:19You took everything away from her and she's not the only one.
11:24You'll pay for it all.
11:26You have a reservation?
11:32Mario Vanchotti.
11:34Why so serious?
11:37Batman.
11:40If only she knew.
11:44So, Mario.
11:49Are you here for business or...
11:54Pleasure.
11:56Yeah.
12:02Off to work.
12:04Off to school.
12:06Just an ordinary day.
12:11We should be celebrating.
12:14We should be celebrating.
12:21But you're gone.
12:23And now everything is about to change.
12:44Remember me, Mr. Thornwald?
12:52Get out of my way, scum.
13:00You'll never deny anyone else ever again.
13:04I can't.
13:12Now run!
13:34I thought I'd regret it.
13:43But this feels like justice.
13:51Now time for phase two.
14:05Chief, it's over here.
14:06Let's go.
14:12Who would murder the CEO of DB Health?
14:16What happened here, Chief?
14:20Randall Thornwald was murdered in cold blood.
14:23Hey, Chief. Check this out.
14:26And there's two more.
14:28Defend and oppose?
14:30You don't think it's some whack job vigilante?
14:35Mere moments ago, a man now identified as 54-year-old Randall Thornwald, CEO of DB Health, has been shot dead using bullets labeled deny, defend and depose.
14:48Police are speculating that the assailant might be a vigilante.
14:53Whoever did this, enjoy your freedom.
14:56Because we will hunt you down.
14:59And when I catch you, you'll never see the light of day again.
15:02I need to walk free long enough to make sure my message is heard loud and clear.
15:07The shooter who won a life, been in a Randall Thornwald for all day-nighted.
15:11My poppy, give a fuck!
15:13Magic!
15:15Woo!
15:16I did this so others won't die like my sister did.
15:21But what would she think of me now?
15:23I have to go back.
15:28I have to go back.
15:32I have to go back.
15:38Yes, Mr. Mayor, I know Randall Thornwald was a close personal friend.
15:43He was a goddamn visionary!
15:45And we're doing everything we can to catch him.
15:47Find the psychopath and murdered him, or you'll never work again!
15:50Sir, we'll squash this cocky fucker faster than you can...
15:53I'll call you back, Mr. Mayor.
15:58CCTV caught the perp biking into Central Park.
16:01Hit it!
16:07I shouldn't have come back, but I can't let this go!
16:11Over there!
16:12Over there!
16:18They're faster than I thought!
16:21Search the area.
16:22I have an email.
16:31Where could it...
16:42Could this be a clue?
16:51Lieutenant!
16:54I knew there would be sacrifices.
16:57I have to get out of here.
17:02This will keep him busy.
17:04Let's see how long it takes for them to fix that.
17:08Y'all already know my struggle.
17:09So when I heard deny defend...
17:11On the bullets?
17:13Like, analyzing is wrong, but I am on the edge.
17:16DB Health is corrupt.
17:18And Karma's a bitch, hunty.
17:20So I'm rooting for Mateo.
17:25Excuse me, officer.
17:27I just found this.
17:33Yeah, I was over there.
17:35You've contaminated evidence, you idiot!
17:37My bad.
17:38Hey, Chief.
17:40We found the backpacker.
17:49Get the fuck out of here.
17:54Gimme that.
18:07There's a note.
18:11How much paper for all life?
18:14And you keep raising the price.
18:16Who gave them the right to choose?
18:19Time to adjust and fade their dues.
18:24Take this to forensics.
18:26Got it.
18:28The plot is thickening, and I think our vigilante has just earned his nickname.
18:31The Adjuster.
18:32Let me know what you think in the comments below.
18:35I won't be made a fool of.
18:39I won't be made a fool of.
18:43I won't be made a fool of.
19:10Have you seen this man?
19:12Tell us what you know, dickwad.
19:17Look, I don't see nothing.
19:19My insurance wouldn't cover new glasses, so we throw out these glasses.
19:22Everything's a big blur.
19:24Then get out of my face.
19:26This adjuster will pay with his life.
19:29People are rooting for this guy.
19:40It just shows how sick our society is.
19:43Okay, but the adjuster can get it done.
19:47He's too hot to commit.
19:49Some loser who wanted to be famous.
19:51All of this is pointless if they don't understand why I did it.
19:55But they will soon.
19:56They will have.
19:59Denying claims seem humane!
20:01Denying claims seem humane!
20:03Denying claims seem humane!
20:05Who gave them the right to choose?
20:07What justice now or pay or do?
20:09Who gave them the right to choose?
20:11A justice now or pay or do?
20:13Who gave them the right to choose?
20:16A justice now or pay or do?
20:18Oh, shit.
20:21This is what I wanted.
20:24The people rising up, shouting back at the system that tried to silence them.
20:25Denying claims is inhumane! Denying claims is inhumane!
20:29You should be ashamed of yourself. Harassing people at your age?
20:33I'm proud to fight for what's right, for what we all deserve.
20:37You're defending a murderer!
20:41Who are what? Look at you, shaking like a leaf!
20:45Don't lay a hand on her!
20:49Who's touching my wife?
20:53You better apologize, punk. Your wife's the one who should apologize.
20:57She stole something that doesn't belong to her.
20:59You loudmouth maggots are stealing our precious time.
21:03Leave! Before I make you, go ahead and try.
21:13You shouldn't have done that wrong.
21:15Yeah? How about this?
21:17Do you realize you just assaulted the CEO of Purple Cross?
21:25I was defending myself. What you did, what you did to my friend Patty here, that was assaulting.
21:31Who's gonna believe some decrepit old woman and her rat-faced sidekick over a CEO and his wife?
21:37Everyone here? They all saw what happened.
21:39You mean these lazy invalids, who'd rather shout themselves hoarse, demanding money from us, than work an honest job?
21:47I worked night shift for 35 years in a warehouse until the insurance company denied my back surgery.
21:55I was trained to become a pilot until Purple Cross denied my insulin prescription.
21:59Now I'm blind in one eye and have to give up on everything I worked for.
22:03All they want is a chance to live.
22:07You're done taking that away?
22:09I'm done.
22:11Newsflash.
22:12The one who has the gold makes the rules, asshole.
22:14Aw, did no one tell you?
22:17This protest is pointless.
22:19You'll all stay poor and sick, begging for money you're never gonna get.
22:25Like diseased hamsters stuck in a broken wheel.
22:28It's how the world works. You can't do it without money.
22:31It's always about money.
22:33It's always about money.
22:34You're right.
22:35When money talks.
22:40People listen.
22:43Here's Emilie's insurance money.
22:45They need it more than I do.
22:47Here's your medication.
22:49There's enough here for everyone.
22:51Okay?
22:52Hey!
22:54There's over 200k in here.
22:56Either you stole this, or you're a drug dealer.
23:00Let's go out for a real nice dinner tonight, honey.
23:03Ooh!
23:04Stealing from the sick once again.
23:06That's what you greedy CEOs do best, isn't it?
23:08Stealing!
23:09I'll bet half these leeching phlegm buckets owe me money.
23:16Pritch like you don't scare me anymore.
23:18Yeah?
23:19How about the cops?
23:21They'll get me eventually.
23:23But not today.
23:24What makes you think you're so invincible?
23:26You're a scrawny little nobody.
23:28I'm the CEO of a billion dollar healthcare company.
23:32You have no idea who I am.
23:35And you don't want to find out.
23:39Who gave you the right to choose?
23:41Adjust things now or pay your due?
23:43Who gave you the right to choose?
23:44Adjust things now or pay your due?
23:45Who gave you the right to choose?
23:46Adjust things now or pay your due?
23:47Who gave you the right to choose?
23:48Adjust things now or pay your due?
23:49Who gave you the right to choose?
23:50Adjust things now or pay your due?
23:51Who gave you the right to choose?
23:52Adjust things now or pay your due?
23:53Who gave you the right to choose?
23:54Adjust things now or pay your due?
23:55Who gave you the right to choose?
23:56I'm shutting this down!
23:57We're not going anywhere.
23:58We're not going anywhere.
23:59We're not going anywhere.
24:00Who gave you the right to choose?
24:01We're not going anywhere.
24:03Who gave you the right to choose?
24:05Adjusting their pay you do.
24:07Who gave you the right to choose?
24:10Cops aren't going to be enough.
24:11We need the mayor.
24:14Mayor Camden, there are violent protesters in front of DB Health intimidating pedestrians.
24:20Protesters, huh?
24:21Those chanting morons are a virus infecting the minds of our youth.
24:26I'll send more officers over.
24:28Mr. Mayor, their leader is the adjuster.
24:34I'll be there in five.
24:36For you.
24:37It's for you.
24:42Yeah, one more for you.
24:43Please.
24:47It's a miracle.
24:49But how?
24:51It's my sister's life insurance money.
24:54She'd want me to help people out while they still have a fighting chance.
24:58Consider an adjustment.
25:00There he is!
25:02The adjuster!
25:05That's the mayor.
25:06Now you'll be sorry.
25:08Mayor Camden, he's here.
25:11This pathetic guy is the adjuster?
25:13The calculated terrorist who murdered my dear friend Randy!
25:17I can't let them take me in yet.
25:20My work isn't done.
25:25No.
25:27I am the adjuster.
25:28No.
25:29I'm the adjuster.
25:31It's me.
25:32I'm the adjuster.
25:33No, it's me.
25:35I'm the adjuster.
25:37Go!
25:38Now!
25:40Get him!
25:41Let's go!
25:42He's getting away!
25:42Don't let him go!
25:51Don't let him go!
25:58There!
25:59There!
26:01Get him!
26:03Get him!
26:03Get him!
26:03Get him!
26:04Get him!
26:04Get him!
26:05Get him!
26:06Not so clever after all.
26:08Hey, man.
26:27Hey, you cool?
26:29Can you use the jacket?
26:31Here.
26:33Hang right there.
26:34Here.
26:35God bless you.
26:38Take care of it, man.
26:44Stay safe.
26:4626-year-old Matteo Leone has been identified as the CEO shooter.
26:51A $10,000 reward is being offered for any info that comes into our office.
26:56My name is out there now, but I won't hide for much longer.
26:58I wish someone didn't have to die to make them listen.
27:26I wish I could hear my sister's laugh just one more time, but life isn't fair.
27:37Do you need some help?
27:39Do you mind?
27:40I don't mind.
27:41We have to put her on these walks so she can sleep, and then when she's asleep, I can never
27:45lift this up.
27:47Have a good night.
27:50The healthcare system has failed the people, and it needs to be taken down.
28:07This won't bring Amelia back.
28:09But it will save millions.
28:26I'm not a monster.
28:28Accountability is part of the plan.
28:30Have a good one.
28:40And I'm almost ready to take it.
28:42I'm not a monster.
29:07I can't run forever.
29:18One last thing to check off the list.
29:24Let me get a McCrazy with Oreo Space.
29:28It's fire.
29:30Can I have a bite?
29:32What?
29:33You want a bite?
29:34Yeah.
29:35If you pay for your own, I guess.
29:37Sure.
29:38Maybe.
29:39Okay, sure.
29:39Can I get two then?
29:44And you can keep the change.
29:48No fucking way.
29:53Hey.
29:54I got the guy you're looking for.
29:57My time as a free man is ending.
29:59But are any of us really free?
30:07Come on, come on, come on.
30:11Come on, come on, come on, come on.
30:12Well, well, well.
30:15Matteo Leone.
30:17Please, don't do anything stupid.
30:20Is there a problem, officers?
30:22You little shit.
30:27Chief, it's all here.
30:33You're under arrest, motherfucker.
30:41You have the right to remain silent.
30:43Go ahead and arrest me.
30:45The people are about to wake up.
30:46No way.
30:52If you're reading this, I am in police custody.
30:55I won't stop fighting, but I can't do it alone.
30:59Will you join me?
31:05Matteo Leone is a cold-blooded killer
31:07who brutally murdered CEO Randall Thornwald.
31:10For his crimes, we are seeking the death penalty.
31:14How do you plead?
31:16They have it all wrong.
31:19Not guilty.
31:25Answer me, you shit-eating cockroach!
31:30Or should I pull the teeth out
31:32from your pretty little smile?
31:35Don't you realize you're gonna get the death penalty?
31:38Don't you realize nobody's free
31:39until everybody's free?
31:45Let him go, Chief!
31:47Let him go!
31:51Can't let this sad sack have all the fun.
31:58You think you're a hero.
32:01You're a terrorist.
32:03And I won't rest
32:04until you're on death row.
32:06And you're afraid of me
32:08because you can't stop what I started.
32:11You're losing control, Mayor Cameron.
32:13Was that what you think?
32:15Well, let's see what the streets have to say.
32:17Come on.
32:24After you, gentlemen.
32:25Hang in there, Mateo.
32:39We're all on your side.
32:40We're fighting game.
32:44You're going down.
32:50Great use of resources, guys.
32:51So talking.
32:52The system is designed
32:54to annihilate scum like you.
32:58Burn in hell,
33:00you filthy criminal.
33:01You'll fry in that chair.
33:03Are you scared of me, Mr. CEO?
33:04Scared?
33:05Where's your money now?
33:06You're empty threats.
33:08You think you're some sort of superhero?
33:10You're shit on the bottom of a shoe.
33:12A fly about to be swatted.
33:13Easy for you to say.
33:15Surrounded by cops
33:16and your bulletproof vests.
33:17Cowards!
33:18All of you!
33:20I could rip you apart!
33:27You're nothing but a filthy criminal.
33:31Powerless.
33:32Stupid.
33:33Pathetic.
33:34You're no one.
33:36Back off!
33:37Let the court decide.
33:38Innocent is unproven guilty!
33:40Innocent is unproven guilty!
33:42Innocent is unproven guilty!
33:45Innocent is unproven guilty!
33:46It's completely unjust!
33:48It's an insult to the intelligence
33:49of the American people
33:50and their lived experience!
33:55It's an insult to the American people
33:57and their lived experience!
33:58They can yell all they want,
33:59but they can't keep you
34:00from rotting in jail.
34:02Come on.
34:04Hear me!
34:05See you in court!
34:06Innocent is unproven guilty!
34:09Innocent is unproven guilty!
34:12Innocent is unproven guilty!
34:13No one can protect you in here.
34:20Let's see how long you last.
34:27Maybe I deserve everything
34:28that's coming to me.
34:29What you in here for, princess?
34:34What's your name, boy?
34:37Better start answering me, son,
34:38before I fuck you up, boy.
34:40I'm gonna fuck you up so bad
34:42they ain't gonna be able to recognize you
34:43when I'm fucking through.
34:44Now what's your fucking name, boy?
34:49Matteo.
34:50Leone.
34:50Oh, shit.
34:56You to your jester.
35:03Dixon.
35:04You see the brothers in here,
35:05they're all gonna test you
35:06and they're gonna fuck with you.
35:08But they gotta get to us first.
35:10And my man Terrence over here
35:11is gonna get you cleaned up.
35:13Yo, T, clean this man up.
35:15Take a sit, bro.
35:16The denial letter came
35:26a week after we buried her.
35:30I'm so sorry that happened.
35:32And what you did
35:33made a lot of guys in here
35:34feel a lot better.
35:37Just feel less hopeless.
35:42There's no going back.
35:44I'll fight to the death.
35:50Janet here,
35:51but the man of the hour
35:52hasn't shown yet.
35:53If you didn't know,
35:54today is the first day
35:55of the trial of the century.
35:57The United States
35:58versus Matteo Leone,
36:00also known as
36:01the adjuster.
36:02You saw the wanted posters.
36:05Corrupt CEO's time
36:06is running out.
36:08You crusty plebeians
36:09could never get past security.
36:11Oh, yeah?
36:11You sure about that?
36:12It's called
36:13Survival of the Fix.
36:16The vibes are giving
36:18pressure cooker.
36:19Get her, get her.
36:25Get her.
36:25The people are waking up.
36:52Enjoy it while it lasts.
36:53Our case is airtight.
36:56After this,
36:57nothing but prison and death
36:58for a sadistic monster like you.
37:01You see about that?
37:03Talk to my client again,
37:05and I'll have you disbarred.
37:06I'll see you in court.
37:08All right.
37:08Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
37:34Matteo Leone viciously targeted Randall Thornwald.
37:39Rather than grieve with dignity
37:41when his sister died of cancer,
37:43he cruelly premeditated the murder
37:45of a loving family man,
37:48a successful, visionary CEO
37:50worth billions,
37:51who purposely profited off
37:53of people's pain.
37:54These witnesses will paint a picture
37:59of just how dangerous Matteo Leone is.
38:02He could have saved his sister,
38:10but he was too broke to pay.
38:12He had motive.
38:14He was aggressive from the start.
38:15He's a bully.
38:17He pushed me
38:18and threatened my husband.
38:20He wanted them to suffer.
38:22That's not true.
38:24He thought he was so smart
38:25with all his messages.
38:26Mr. Leone is entitled,
38:29manipulable,
38:30and frankly,
38:32psychotic.
38:35Thank you, Mayor Camden.
38:38For my final witness,
38:40I call Brady Thornwald,
38:42Randall Thornwald's son.
38:56Brady,
38:57how has the death
39:00of your father,
39:01your hero,
39:03affected you?
39:05Will this kid be the nail
39:06in my coffin?
39:10My father's not my hero.
39:16Uh, you mean?
39:19I mean,
39:20I was incredibly devastated
39:22when that cold-blooded
39:25killer
39:26took my father's
39:29life away from me.
39:34You know what?
39:35Fuck that.
39:35My dad enjoyed hurting people.
39:38His entire vision as CEO
39:40was built on keeping people sick.
39:42And I'm not just gonna sit here
39:44and lie because some company
39:45paid me to.
39:45You disrespect your own father.
39:48After everything he did for you?
39:50You know what?
39:50Lock me up.
39:51I don't care.
39:52Objection!
39:53He can't just...
39:54I mean, sit down.
39:55You're nothing lower than
39:56sewage sludge.
39:57Mr. Mayor,
39:58first,
39:58you treat him like
39:59some kind of
40:00sew event.
40:01Order!
40:06Mayor Camden,
40:07one more word
40:08and you'll be held in contempt.
40:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.
40:12No further questions.
40:15Based on the evidence
40:17provided,
40:19Matteo Leone undoubtedly
40:21is guilty of murder
40:22in the first degree.
40:24Prosecution rests.
40:25Ms.
40:27Ms.
40:27Ms.
40:27Weinhardt?
40:31Judge will shine,
40:33people of the jury.
40:35As the prosecution detailed,
40:37my client,
40:38Matteo Leone,
40:40shot and killed
40:41the CEO of DB Health,
40:44Randall Thornwall,
40:46dead.
40:51Someone had to do it.
40:53That's right.
40:55My client does not deny
40:57killing Mr. Thornwall.
40:58What he does deny,
41:00it was unwarranted.
41:02Mr. Leone had to act
41:04drastically to save lives.
41:06And today,
41:07we're here to defend
41:08his right
41:09so he can defend
41:10himself and others
41:12from becoming victims
41:13of a murderous corporation.
41:15order!
41:24I call Patty Sinclair
41:26to the stand.
41:40Please tell us
41:41what happened
41:41to your husband.
41:45Clay and I,
41:46we just found out
41:47that we were
41:48going to be grandparents.
41:50Then one night,
41:52Clay had a heart attack.
41:56A doctor prescribed
41:58a treatment plan,
41:59but DB Health said,
42:00no,
42:00not medically necessary.
42:02It would cost hundreds
42:03of thousands
42:03out of pocket.
42:04So we appealed,
42:06but all of our claims
42:08were denied.
42:08I was denied
42:10a walking boot
42:11for my fractured ankle.
42:12It got so bad
42:13they had to amputate,
42:14but they couldn't
42:15because they don't
42:16make prosthetics.
42:16I got addicted
42:17to pain medication,
42:19but denied the surgery
42:20to cure my pain for good.
42:22We went bankrupt,
42:23and now we're homeless.
42:24He couldn't afford it,
42:26so he died.
42:28Appealed,
42:29but now she's paralyzed.
42:30Paralyzed.
42:30Paralyzed.
42:31Paralyzed.
42:31Paralyzed.
42:31Paralyzed.
42:32Paralyzed.
42:32Paralyzed.
42:33Paralyzed.
42:34Paralyzed.
42:35Paralyzed.
42:36Paralyzed.
42:37Paralyzed.
42:38Paralyzed.
42:38If DB Health
42:40had approved
42:40my husband's surgery,
42:42he would still be alive.
42:44This young man,
42:45Mateo,
42:46saw how so many of us
42:48were being taken advantage
42:49of by DB Health's
42:51predatory business,
42:53and he did what no one else
42:55had the courage
42:56or actually the balls
42:59to do.
43:00He stood up.
43:05I couldn't have said it
43:07any better.
43:11Your Honor,
43:12I call
43:13Mr. Mateo Leoti
43:14to stand.
43:15This isn't a circus.
43:29Order in the court.
43:34Do you swear to tell the truth
43:35and nothing but the truth?
43:41If you swear to listen.
43:45I swear to tell the truth.
43:52Mr. Leoti,
43:53what drove you
43:55to kill the CEO
43:56of DB Health?
44:04Your Honor,
44:05it'll be better
44:05if I show you.
44:06Oh, objection!
44:08This is new evidence
44:08not found...
44:09Sit down, counselor.
44:10Go ahead.
44:20Thanks for being here.
44:22While I still have a voice,
44:24I want to tell you why.
44:27This is Amelia,
44:29my nine-year-old sister.
44:31She was just a baby
44:34when our parents died.
44:36And it's been the two of us
44:37against the world
44:38ever since.
44:39The doctor said
44:40she could beat leukemia
44:41if she started treatment
44:42right away.
44:44But DB Health
44:46wouldn't cover it.
44:47Even with a decent job,
44:49I couldn't afford
44:50to pay out of pocket.
44:51So I appealed.
44:52I was optimistic.
44:53I didn't know
44:55that there are
44:56almost 200,000
44:57health insurance
44:58related deaths
44:59per year.
45:00As we waited
45:01for a response,
45:02I watched my amazing
45:04little sister
45:04get sicker.
45:07And then DB Health
45:08denied her appeal.
45:11I did everything
45:12I could to fight back.
45:15I even pleaded
45:16with the CEO himself
45:17to save her life.
45:20He told me
45:21it was nothing personal.
45:23It was just the business
45:25of keeping people sick.
45:29And then he smiled.
45:33Amelia died.
45:36And I found out
45:37our story is
45:38very, very common.
45:43I'm talking mass corruption
45:45leading to massive amounts
45:47of lives ruined.
45:49Hundreds of thousands
45:50of lives ruined.
45:51All to fill their pockets.
45:53But we're bigger
45:55than them.
45:57All right?
45:57We're bigger than them.
45:59If we stand up together.
46:01Who's with me?
46:02Who's with me?
46:02The defense rests.
46:18Nothing more to do but wait.
46:23After thorough consideration,
46:25Purple Cross Health will discontinue
46:26our limited anesthesia policy.
46:28Our company will end
46:30its wait-and-see policy
46:31beginning at the first
46:32of the month.
46:33We'll be halting
46:34our lottery policy
46:35effectively.
46:35Whatever happens today,
46:37you did this.
46:45We the jury find
46:46Matteo Leone.
46:49Dear Tracy,
46:50your letter made me tear up.
46:52I am so sorry
46:53you and your daughter
46:54had to go through
46:54such senseless pain.
46:55No one should have to
46:57experience that kind
46:57of systemic failure.
46:59You are an inspiration
47:00and your daughter
47:01is lucky to have a mother
47:02who didn't back down.
47:04All my best,
47:05Matteo Leone.
47:05death or life in prison.
47:19At least I said my peace.
47:20I said my two john дух
