Short filmTranscript
00:00The CEO of DV Health has been shot dead.
00:07Matteo Leone has been identified as a shooter.
00:10This is for you, Amelia.
00:13My nine-year-old sister.
00:17You're interested in Dr. Clay?
00:19She was fine.
00:20No, Amelia!
00:22I want you to do the right thing.
00:24That's business.
00:26You will never deny anyone again.
00:28Search the area.
00:30I didn't know that there are almost 200,000 health insurance-related deaths per year.
00:36Matteo Leone.
00:38Go ahead and arrest me.
00:39The people are about to wake up.
00:40Who has the right to choose?
00:43Adjustings now or pay your bills?
00:44The United States versus Matteo Leone, also known as the adjuster.
00:49He's a murderer.
00:50You think you're a hero?
00:51You're a terrorist.
00:52For the second charge, first-degree murder, we, the jury, find Matteo Leone.
00:57Do you know what it's like to watch someone you love endure constant senseless pain?
01:15Of course you don't.
01:19You're incapable of empathy.
01:25I tried to do it the right way, but you made it impossible.
01:31And now, I understand suffering.
01:36All I feel is rage in my chest.
01:48I live with a hole in my heart.
01:50And soon you will, too.
01:56This is for you, sis.
01:59This is for all of us.
02:01Her chemotherapy is supposed to start today.
02:05Please, please, just check one more time.
02:07You should calm down.
02:08I will check one more time for you, okay?
02:10Okay.
02:11Your insurance did not her claim.
02:12Treatment is canceled.
02:17Canceled?
02:17What?
02:21So you're telling me there's nothing we can do?
02:23You want to continue treatment?
02:25Then pay out of pocket.
02:26Okay.
02:26Okay.
02:31She will die.
02:37I've done all that I can.
02:39You still got a problem?
02:40You can appeal or take it up with the CEO of your insurance company.
02:55I have to appeal or Amelia's going to die.
03:01I still believe that someone up there might listen.
03:29They denied the appeal.
03:31No, no, I don't want to die.
03:37I don't want to die.
03:38It's okay, Amelia.
03:39You're okay.
03:39You're okay.
03:40You're going to be okay.
03:41Someone help.
03:42Someone help.
03:44Doctor, hello?
03:46Please.
03:47She's all I have left.
03:48Please, someone save her.
03:49Please.
03:49Your sister's leukemia has spread.
03:58And I gave her emergency stem cell transplant.
04:01But without continuing the treatment, she has no chance.
04:04I'm done coming down with these money on my assholes.
04:27I'm going to cover my sister's treatment or I'll...
04:34insurance troubles.
04:39DB Health is killing my little sister.
04:42She's only nine.
04:43Evil snakes.
04:44My husband's gone because they denied every last claim.
04:49It would have been his sixth and third birthday today.
04:53They were his favorite.
04:55Now I can't have one in his honor because DB Health wouldn't cover my tremor medications anymore.
05:01Thank you, young man.
05:08Sorry about your sister.
05:11I'm sorry about your husband.
05:16Those greedy bastards don't care if any of us live or die as long as their pockets are lined.
05:21Don't let them get you down.
05:23We've got to fight back.
05:24If I could just meet him face to face.
05:37If I could just tell him.
05:40Check your notes there.
05:41I'm going to show you right now.
05:42All right, I know the drill.
05:44Down your horses, boys.
05:46I'll take 100K and the crib keeper's wife over there.
05:49She won't last a week.
05:51I'm going to get 200,000 on the cancer kid.
05:55Those little coffins are so cute.
05:58Don't you talk about my sister?
06:01Don't you talk about my sister?
06:03You asshole.
06:04You go apologize to her right now.
06:06Make me.
06:08What do you want, dipshit?
06:09Mr. Thornwald, you're coming to deny my sister's leukemia treatment.
06:12I want you to do the right thing.
06:13Save her life.
06:14You come near me again, you're going to be very sorry.
06:17It's you who will be sorry.
06:24If you won't hear me out, I'll make you.
06:42Hey.
06:53Who are you?
06:57Stop!
06:58Get back here!
06:59Security, catch him!
07:01What the fuck is this?
07:16You underestimated me.
07:19You underestimated me.
07:20I'm sorry, who are you?
07:24The guy who sits there you're slowly killing!
07:26He's only nine years old!
07:28She has her whole life ahead of her!
07:31You want a bottle cry, baby?
07:34Do you think I'd give a fuck about some snotty kid's wasted potential?
07:38He was denied.
07:38So what?
07:39That's business.
07:41It's not my fault you're too broke to save your sister's life.
07:44You heartless son of a...
07:46Jake!
07:48When the world finds out what you've done to children, how many people your business has killed!
07:53Phil, what?
07:56Nobody's going to listen to you.
08:00You're not even a pimple on my ass.
08:03You shouldn't have done that.
08:28Gallons of blood on your hands, but soon yours will be on mine.
08:33Don't give up, Amelia.
08:35Keep fighting.
08:37I'll find another way.
08:50No.
08:52Keep this.
08:54So Mom and Daddy, you love them.
09:00No.
09:01No, Amelia!
09:02No!
09:03Amelia!
09:06Doctors!
09:07Doctors!
09:09Amelia!
09:12I hate how quiet it is without you.
09:19You were just a kid.
09:21You had a whole life unlived.
09:24A future.
09:25But they took it from you.
09:28They denied you.
09:30Almost enough to pay for the treatment that would have saved your life.
09:50A sick joke.
09:52How naive to trust the system to believe that a rich health insurance CEO would actually care about people.
10:02It's unjust.
10:02It's unjust.
10:03I'm done being a pawn.
10:04It's unjust.
10:06I'm done being a pawn.
10:08You think you're untouched.
10:09You think you're untouchable.
10:19You hide behind your billions while the rest of us fight for scraps.
10:24I think you're untouchable.
10:25You will make a whole life.
10:25You will be on the side.
10:25And you will be on the side.
10:27But all that's going to change.
10:31Because you're not a god.
10:35When my bullet hits you, you'll bleed.
10:39I don't know.
11:09She'll never get to see this amazing place.
11:24You took everything away from her and she's not the only one.
11:29You'll pay for it all.
11:36I have a reservation.
11:37I'm Maria Lanchotti.
11:40Why are you so serious, Batman?
11:45If only she knew.
11:49So, Mario.
11:54Are you here for business or...
11:58Pleasure.
12:00Off to work.
12:09Off to school.
12:11Just an ordinary day.
12:13We should be celebrating.
12:24But you're gone.
12:28And now everything is about to change.
12:31Remember me, Mr. Thornwald?
12:57Get out of my way, scum.
13:05You'll never deny anyone else ever again.
13:09Now run!
13:19Run!
13:19I thought I'd regret it.
13:44But this feels like justice.
13:55Now time for phase two.
13:58Chief, it's over here.
14:12Let's go.
14:18Who would murder the CEO of DB Health?
14:20What happened here, Chief?
14:25Randall Thornwald was murdered in full blood.
14:29Hey, Chief.
14:29Check this out.
14:32And there's two more.
14:34Defend and oppose?
14:35You don't think it's some whack child vigilance.
14:41Mere moments ago, a man now identified as 54-year-old Randall Thornwald, CEO of DB Health,
14:48has been shot dead using bullets labeled deny, defend, and depose.
14:53Police are speculating that the assailant might be a vigilante.
14:58Whoever did this, enjoy your freedom.
15:02Because we will hunt you down.
15:04And when I catch you, you'll never see the light of day again.
15:09I need to walk free long enough to make sure my message is heard loud and clear.
15:13The shooter who won a life in their Randall Thornwald for all day lighted.
15:16My poppy, give a fuck!
15:18Woo!
15:23I did this so others won't die like my sister did.
15:27But what would she think of me now?
15:29Oh, my God.
15:31I have to go back.
15:38Yes, Mr. Mayor, I know Randall Thornwald was a close personal friend.
15:48He was a goddamn visionary.
15:50And we're doing everything we can to catch him.
15:53Find the psychopath that murdered him, or you'll never work again.
15:55Sir, we'll squash this cocky fucker faster than you can...
15:59I'll call you back, Mr. Mayor.
16:04CCTV caught the perp biking into Central Park.
16:07Hit it.
16:08I shouldn't have come back, but I can't let this go.
16:17Over there.
16:24They're faster than I thought.
16:27Search the area.
16:28I have an email.
16:29Where could it...
16:38Could this be a clue?
16:57Lieutenant.
16:57Lieutenant.
16:59I knew there would be sacrifices.
17:03I have to get out of here.
17:07This will keep him busy.
17:09Let's see how long it takes for them to fix that.
17:14Y'all already know my struggle.
17:15So when I heard deny defend...
17:17On the bullet?
17:18Like, and the niving is wrong, but I am on the edge.
17:22DB health is corrupt.
17:23And karma's a bitch, hunty.
17:26So I'm rooting for Mateo.
17:27Excuse me, officer.
17:33I just found this.
17:39Yeah, I was over there.
17:41You contaminated evidence, you idiot.
17:44My bad.
17:44Hey, chief.
17:46We found the backpack.
17:55Get the fuck out of here.
18:00Give me that.
18:01There's a note.
18:14How much paper for a life?
18:20And you keep raising the price.
18:22Who gave them the right to choose?
18:25Time to adjust and fade their dues.
18:30Take this to forensics.
18:32Got it.
18:32The plot is thickening.
18:35And I think our vigilante has just earned his nickname.
18:38The Adjuster.
18:40Let me know what you think in the comments below.
18:48I won't be made a fool of.
18:50Have you seen this man?
19:18Tell us what you know, dickwad.
19:20Look, I don't see nothing.
19:25My insurance wouldn't cover new glasses, so we throw out these glasses.
19:29Everything's a big blur.
19:31Then get out of my face.
19:34This adjuster will pay with his life.
19:36People are rooting for this guy.
19:46It just shows how sick our society is.
19:49Okay, but the adjuster can get it done.
19:51But he's too hot to commit.
19:55It's some loser who wanted to be famous.
19:57All of this is pointless if they don't understand why I did it.
20:00But they will soon.
20:01But they will soon.
20:02Claims to seem humane!
20:05Denying claims to seem humane!
20:07Denying claims to seem humane!
20:08Denying claims to seem humane!
20:09Who gave them the right to choose what justice now or pay or do?
20:13Who gave them the right to choose what justice now or pay or do?
20:18Who gave them the right to choose what justice now or pay or do?
20:19Who gave them the right to choose what justice now or pay or do?
20:21This is what I wanted.
20:23The people rising up, shouting back at the system that tried to silence them.
20:27Who gave them the right to choose what justice now or pay or do?
20:30Denying claims to seem humane!
20:32Denying claims to seem humane!
20:34Denying claims to seem humane!
20:35You should be ashamed of yourself.
20:38Harassing people at your age?
20:40I'm proud to fight for what's right, for what we all deserve.
20:43You're defending a murderer!
20:47Who or what?
20:49Look at you, shaking like a leaf!
20:51You're nothing but a weak old-
20:52Don't lay a hand on her!
20:55How dare you touch me?
20:56Who's touching my wife?
20:59You better apologize, punk.
21:01Your wife's the one who should apologize.
21:03She stole something that doesn't belong to her.
21:05You loud-mouthed maggots are stealing our precious time.
21:09Leave!
21:11Before I make you go ahead and try.
21:19You shouldn't have done that wrong.
21:21Yeah?
21:22How about this?
21:27Do you realize you just assaulted the CEO of Purple Crossing?
21:31I was defending myself.
21:33What you did, what you did to my friend Patty here, that was assault.
21:37Who's gonna believe some decrepit old woman and her rat-faced sidekick over a CEO and his wife?
21:43Everyone here, they all saw what happened.
21:45They all saw what happened.
21:47You mean these lazy invalids who'd rather shout themselves hoarse, demanding money from us, than work an honest job.
21:55I worked night shift for 35 years in a warehouse, until the insurance company denied my back surgery.
22:02I was trained to become a pilot, until Purple Cross denied my insulin prescription.
22:07Now I'm blind in one eye, and have to give up on everything I worked for.
22:11All they want is a chance to live.
22:15You're done taking that away?
22:16I'm done.
22:18News flash, the one who has the gold makes the rules, asshole.
22:21Aw, did no one tell you?
22:23This protest is pointless.
22:27You'll all stay poor and sick, begging for money you're never gonna get.
22:32Like diseased hamsters stuck in a broken wheel.
22:35It's how the world works.
22:36You can't do it without money.
22:38It's always about money.
22:40You're right.
22:42When money talks,
22:47people listen.
22:50Here's Emilia's insurance money.
22:52They need it more than I do.
22:55Here's your medication.
22:57There's enough here for everyone, okay?
22:59Hey!
23:01There's over 200k in here.
23:03Either you stole this, or you're a drug dealer.
23:07Let's go out for a real nice dinner tonight, honey.
23:10Ooh!
23:11Stealing from the sick once again.
23:13That's what you greedy CEOs do best, isn't it?
23:15Stealing!
23:15I'll bet half these leeching phlegm buckets owe me money.
23:23Pricks like you don't scare me anymore.
23:25Yeah?
23:26How about the cops?
23:28They'll get me eventually.
23:30But not today.
23:32What makes you think you're so invincible?
23:34You're a scrawny little nobody.
23:36I'm the CEO of a billion dollar healthcare company.
23:39You have no idea who I am.
23:43And you don't want to find out.
23:46Who gave you the right to choose?
23:48Adjust things now or pay your due?
23:50Who gave you the right to choose?
24:05Adjust things now or pay your due?
24:15What do you do?
24:16Who can do the right to choose?
24:18Adjusting justice!
24:19Cops aren't going to be enough.
24:20We need the mayor.
24:22Mayor Camden, there are violent protesters in front of DB Health intimidating pedestrians.
24:28Protesters, huh?
24:30Those chanting morons are a virus infecting the minds of our youth.
24:35I'll send more officers over.
24:38Mr. Mayor, their leader is the adjuster.
24:42I'll be there in five.
24:44It's for you.
24:46It's for you.
24:50Yeah, one more for you.
24:52Please.
24:55It's a miracle.
24:57But how?
24:59So my sister's life insurance money.
25:01She'd want me to help people out while they still have a fighting chance.
25:05Consider it an adjustment.
25:08There he is!
25:10The adjuster!
25:12That's the mayor.
25:15Now you'll be sorry.
25:16Mayor Camden, he's here.
25:20This pathetic guy is the adjuster?
25:22The calculated terrorist who murdered my dear friend Randy.
25:26I can't let them take me in yet.
25:28My work isn't done.
25:34No.
25:35I am the adjuster.
25:37No.
25:38I'm the adjuster.
25:40It's me.
25:41I'm the adjuster.
25:42Go!
25:43Now!
25:44Get him!
25:45Let's go!
25:46He's getting away!
25:47Get him!
25:48He's getting away!
25:49Get him!
25:50He's getting away!
25:51Get him!
25:52He's getting away!
25:53He's over there!
25:54Don't let him go!
25:55Get him!
25:56Don't let him go!
25:57Don't let him go!
25:58Don't let him go!
25:59Get him!
26:00Get him!
26:01Get him!
26:15Not so clever after all.
26:16After all!
26:29Hey man.
26:36Hey, you cool?
26:38Can you use the jacket?
26:42Right there.
26:44God bless you.
26:47Take care of it, man. Stay safe.
26:5526-year-old Matteo Leone has been identified as the CEO shooter.
27:00A $10,000 reward is being offered for any info that comes into our office.
27:05My name is out there now, but I won't hide for much longer.
27:16I wish someone didn't have to die to make them listen.
27:22I wish I could hear my sisters laugh just one more time.
27:26I wish someone didn't have to die to make them listen.
27:36I wish I could hear my sisters laugh just one more time.
27:39But life isn't fair.
27:45Do you need some help?
27:47Do you mind?
27:49I don't mind.
27:50I have to put her on these walks so she can sleep, and then when she's asleep I can never lift this up.
27:58Have a good night.
28:00The healthcare system has failed the people, and it needs to be taken down.
28:05This won't bring Amelia back.
28:19But it will save millions.
28:23I'm not a monster.
28:37Accountability is part of the plan.
28:47Have a good one.
28:49And I'm almost ready to take it.
28:53mom's Russia is a solid line.
28:58It's okay.
29:00How do you see her?
29:02She's with주 bian.
29:04I know you want to take her to win.
29:06Can someone have any magic?
29:08Why do you see her?
29:10They're all beautiful.
29:11I can!
29:13They did!
29:17Off camera!
29:21Restroving me!
29:22I can't run forever.
29:27One last thing to check off the list.
29:34Let me get a McCrazy with Oreo space.
29:38It's fire.
29:39Can I have a bite?
29:41What?
29:42You want a bite?
29:43Yeah.
29:45If you pay for your own, I guess, sure.
29:47Maybe, okay, sure.
29:48Can I get two then?
29:52And, uh, you can keep the change.
29:57No fucking way.
30:02Hey.
30:04I got the guy you're looking for.
30:06My time as a free man is ending.
30:09But are any of us really free?
30:18Come on, come on, come on.
30:20Come on, come on, come on, come on.
30:21Well, well, well.
30:25Matteo Leone.
30:26Please, don't do anything stupid.
30:30Is there a problem, officers?
30:35You little shit.
30:37Chief, it's all here.
30:39You're under arrest, motherfucker.
30:50You have the right to remain silent.
30:52Go ahead and arrest me.
30:54The people are about to wake up.
30:55No way.
30:56No way.
31:01If you're reading this, I am in police custody.
31:05I won't stop fighting, but I can't do it alone.
31:08Will you join me?
31:09Matteo Leone is a cold-blooded killer who brutally murdered CEO Randall Thornwald.
31:19For his crimes, we are seeking the death penalty.
31:23How do you plead?
31:26They have it all wrong.
31:28Not guilty.
31:34Answer me, you shit-eating cockroach!
31:37Or should I pull the teeth out from your pretty little smile?
31:45Don't you realize you're going to get the death penalty?
31:47You realize nobody's free until everybody's free?
31:50Let him go, Chief!
31:56Let him go!
32:00Can't let this sad sack have all the fun.
32:08You think you're a hero.
32:10You're a terrorist.
32:13And I won't rest until you're on death row.
32:16And you're afraid of me because you can't stop what I started.
32:21You're losing control, Mayor Cameron.
32:23How's that, what you think?
32:24Well, let's see what the streets have to say, huh?
32:27Come on.
32:34After you, gentlemen.
32:47Hang in there, Matteo.
32:49We're all on your side.
32:50We're fighting for you.
32:54You're going down.
33:00Great use of resources, guys.
33:01So talking.
33:02The system is designed to annihilate scum like you.
33:08Burn in hell, you filthy criminal.
33:11You'll fry in that chair.
33:13You scared of me, Mr. CEO?
33:14I'm scared.
33:15Where's your money now?
33:16You're empty threats.
33:17You think you're some sort of superhero?
33:19You're shit on the bottom of a shoe.
33:21A fly about to be swatted.
33:23Easy for you to say.
33:25Surrounded by cops in your bulletproof vests.
33:27Cowards.
33:27All of you, I could rip you apart.
33:37You're nothing but a filthy criminal.
33:40Powerless.
33:41Stupid.
33:43Pathetic.
33:44You're no one.
33:45Back off.
33:46Let the court decide.
33:48Innocent is not proven guilty.
33:50Innocent is not proven guilty.
33:52Innocent is not proven guilty.
33:54Innocent is not proven guilty.
33:56It's completely unjust.
33:57It's an insult to the intelligence of the American people and their lived experience.
34:05It's an insult to the American people and their lived experience.
34:08They can yell all they want, but they can't keep you from rotting in jail.
34:12Come on.
34:14Hear me.
34:15See you in court.
34:17Innocent is not proven guilty.
34:20Innocent is not proven guilty.
34:22Innocent is not proven guilty.
34:26No one can protect you in here.
34:30Let's see how long you last.
34:37Maybe I deserve everything that's coming to me.
34:42What you in here for, princess?
34:44It's your name, boy.
34:47Better start answering me, son, before I fuck you up, boy.
34:50I'm gonna fuck you up so bad they ain't gonna be able to recognize you when I'm fucking through.
34:54Now, what's your fucking name, boy?
34:59Matteo.
35:00Leone.
35:04Oh, shit.
35:06You to your jester.
35:07Dixon, you see the brothers in here, they're all gonna test you and they're gonna fuck with you.
35:18But they gotta get to us first.
35:20And my man Terrence over here is gonna get you cleaned up.
35:23Yo, T, clean this man up.
35:26Take a seat, bro.
35:26The denial letter came a week after we buried her.
35:40I'm so sorry that happened.
35:42And what you did made a lot of guys in here feel a lot better.
35:47Just feel less hopeless.
35:49There's no going back.
35:55I'll fight to the death.
36:01Janet here, but the man of the hour hasn't shown yet.
36:04If you didn't know, today is the first day of the trial of the century.
36:08The United States versus Matteo Leone, also known as the adjuster.
36:13You saw the one in posters.
36:16Corrupt CEO's time is running out.
36:19You crusty plebeians could never get past security.
36:22Oh, yeah?
36:23You sure about that?
36:24It's called survival of the fix.
36:27The vibes are giving pressure cooker.
36:35Get her, get her.
36:36The people are waking up.
37:03Enjoy it while it lasts.
37:05Our case is airtight.
37:07After this, nothing but prison and death for a sadistic monster like you.
37:12You'll see about that.
37:14Talk to my client again, and I'll have you disbarred.
37:18I'll see you in court.
37:19All right, Ellen.
37:19Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, Matteo Leone viciously targeted Randall
37:49Thornwald, rather than grieve with dignity when his sister died of cancer, he cruelly premeditated
37:56the murder of a loving family man, a successful visionary CEO worth billions, who purposely profited
38:04off of people's pain.
38:06These witnesses will paint a picture of just how dangerous Matteo Leone is.
38:20He could have saved his sister, but he was too broke to pay.
38:24He had motive.
38:25He was aggressive from the start.
38:27He's a bully.
38:28He pushed me and threatened my husband.
38:32He wanted them to suffer.
38:34That's not true.
38:35He thought he was so smart with all his messages.
38:38Mr. Leone is entitled, manipulative, and frankly, psychotic.
38:45Thank you, Mayor Camden.
38:50For my final witness, I call Brady Thornwald, Randall Thornwald's son.
39:08Brady, how has the death of your father, your hero,
39:14affected you?
39:16Will this kid be the nail in my coffin?
39:23My father's not my hero.
39:29You mean?
39:30I mean, I was incredibly devastated when that cold-blooded killer took my father's life away
39:43from me.
39:46You know what?
39:47Fuck that.
39:47My dad enjoyed hurting people.
39:50His entire vision as CEO was built on keeping people sick.
39:54And I'm not just going to sit here and lie because some company paid me to.
39:57You disrespect your own father.
40:00After everything he did for you.
40:02You know what?
40:02Lock me up.
40:03I don't care.
40:04Objection.
40:05He can't shut you.
40:06I mean, sit down.
40:07You're nothing lower than suing sludge.
40:09Mr. Mayor, first, you treat him like some kind of sue event.
40:14Order.
40:14Order.
40:18Mayor Camden, one more word and you'll be held in contempt.
40:23Yeah.
40:24No further questions.
40:27Based on the evidence provided, Matteo Leone undoubtedly is guilty of murder in the first
40:35degree.
40:36Prosecution rests.
40:39Ms. Weinhardt.
40:40Judge will shine, people to jury.
40:47As the prosecution detailed, my client, Matteo Leone, shot and killed the CEO of DB Health,
40:57Randall Thornwall, dead.
41:04Someone had to do it.
41:07That's right.
41:07My client does not deny killing Mr. Thornwall.
41:11What he does deny, it was unwarranted.
41:14Mr. Leone had to act drastically to save lives.
41:19And today, we're here to defend his right so he can defend himself and others from becoming
41:25victims of a murderous corporation.
41:27Let's go!
41:28Oh!
41:29Oh!
41:30Oh!
41:30Oh!
41:30Oh!
41:30Oh!
41:31Oh!
41:31Oh!
41:32Oh!
41:32Oh!
41:33Oh!
41:34Oh!
41:34Oh!
41:34Oh!
41:35Oh!
41:35Oh!
41:35Oh!
41:36Oh!
41:36Oh!
41:37Ha!
41:38I called Patty Sinclair to the stand.
41:39I call Patty Sinclair to the stand.
41:52Please tell us what happened to your husband.
41:58Clay and I, we'd just found out that we were going to be grandparents.
42:03Then one night, Clay had a heart attack.
42:09A doctor prescribed a treatment plan, but DB Health said no, not medically necessary.
42:15It would cost hundreds of thousands out of pocket.
42:17So we appealed, but all of our claims were denied.
42:22I was denied a walking boot from my fractured ankle.
42:25It got so bad they had to amputate, but they couldn't because they don't make prosthetics.
42:29I got addicted to pain medication, but denied surgery to cure my pain for good.
42:34We went bankrupt, and now we're homeless.
42:37He couldn't afford it, so he died.
42:40Appealed, but now she's paralyzed.
42:51If DB Health had approved my husband's surgery, he would still be alive.
42:56And this young man, Mateo, saw how so many of us were being taken advantage of by DB Health's predatory business.
43:06And he did what no one else had the courage or actually the balls to do.
43:13He stood up.
43:18Your Honor, I call Mr. Mateo Leoti to stand.
43:40This isn't a circus!
43:41Order in the court!
43:42Do you swear to tell the truth, and nothing but the truth?
43:54If you swear to listen?
44:00I swear to tell the truth.
44:05Mr. Leone, what drove you to kill the CEO of DB Health?
44:10Your Honor, it'll be better if I show you.
44:20Objection!
44:21This is new evidence not found to-
44:22Sit down, Counselor.
44:25Go ahead.
44:33Thanks for being here.
44:35While I still have a voice, I want to tell you why.
44:40This is Amelia, my nine-year-old sister.
44:46She was just a baby when our parents died.
44:49And it's been the two of us against the world ever since.
44:53The doctor said she could beat leukemia if she started treatment right away.
44:58But DB Health wouldn't cover it.
45:01Even with a decent job, I couldn't afford to pay out of pocket.
45:04So I appealed.
45:06I was optimistic.
45:08I didn't know that there are almost 200,000 health insurance-related deaths per year.
45:13As we waited for a response, I watched my amazing little sister get sicker.
45:20And then DB Health denied her appeal.
45:23I did everything I could to fight back.
45:28I even pleaded with the CEO himself to save her life.
45:34He told me it was nothing personal.
45:37It's just the business of keeping people sick.
45:40And then he smiled.
45:47Amelia died.
45:50And I found out our story is very, very common.
45:56I'm talking mass corruption leading to massive amounts of lives ruined.
46:02Hundreds of thousands of lives ruined.
46:05All to fill their pockets.
46:07But we're bigger than them.
46:11All right?
46:11We're bigger than them.
46:12If we stand up together.
46:15Who's with me?
46:18The defense rests.
46:34Nothing more to do but wait.
46:37After thorough consideration, Purple Cross Health will discontinue our limited anesthesia policy.
46:43Our company will end its wait-and-see policy beginning at the first of the month.
46:47We'll be halting our lottery policy effectively.
46:49Whatever happens today, you did this.
46:52We, the jury, find Matteo Leone.
47:03Dear Tracy,
47:04your letter made me tear up.
47:06I am so sorry you and your daughter had to go through such senseless pain.
47:10No one should have to experience that kind of systemic failure.
47:13You are an inspiration,
47:15and your daughter is lucky to have a mother who didn't back down.
47:17All my best, Matteo Leone.
47:30Death or life in prison.
47:33At least I said my piece.
47:34That's true.
47:37I am so sorry you and your son would be a lover, but you don't remember?
47:40What have you made?
47:41You
