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 untouched.
10:25I'm sorry.
10:25You...
10:25I'm sorry.
10:26But all that's gonna change.
10:27I don't know.
10:28I'm sorry.
10:29I'm sorry.
10:29But all that's gonna change.
10:30Because you're not a god.
10:34When my ball hits you, you'll bleed.
11:04She'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.
11:34Do you have a reservation?
11:38Mario Lanchotti.
11:40Why are you so serious, Batman?
11:45If only she knew.
11:49So, Mario.
11:54Are you here for business or...
11:59Pleasure.
12:04Off to work.
12:09Off to school.
12:11Just an ordinary day.
12:18We should be celebrating.
12:20But you're gone.
12:22And now everything is about to change.
12:24But you're gone.
12:27And now everything is about to change.
12:31Remember me, Mr. Thornwald?
12:35Get out of my way, scum.
12:36Remember me, Mr. Thornwald?
12:40Get out of my way, scum.
12:41You'll never deny anyone else ever again.
12:46You'll never deny anyone else ever again.
13:00Scum
13:06He'll never deny anyone else
13:18Now run
13:30I thought I'd regret it
13:44But this feels like justice
13:51Now time for phase two
14:00Chief, it's over here
14:12Let's go
14:17Who would murder the CEO of DV Health?
14:21What happened here, Chief?
14:25Randall Thornwald was murdered in cold blood
14:28Hey, Chief, check this out
14:30And there's two more
14:33Defend and oppose
14:35You don't think it's some whack job vigilante?
14:41Mere moments ago
14:42A man now identified as
14:4454-year-old Randall Thornwald
14:46CEO of DV Health
14:48Has been shot dead
14:49Using bullets labeled deny, defend, and depose
14:53Police are speculating that the assailant might be a vigilante
14:56Whoever did this
15:00Enjoy your freedom
15:01Because we will hunt you down
15:04And when I catch you
15:06You'll never see the light of day again
15:08I need to walk free long enough
15:11To make sure my message is heard loud and clear
15:13I did this so others won't die like my sister did
15:26But what would she think of me now?
15:37I have to go back
15:38Yes, Mr. Mayor
15:45I 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
15:54Or 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
16:01CCTV caught the perp biking in the Central Park
16:06Hit it
16:08I shouldn't have come back
16:15But I can't let this go
16:16Over there
16:18They're faster than I thought
16:25Search the area
16:28I have an email
16:29Where could it
16:37Could this be a clue?
16:57Lieutenant
16:57I knew there would be sacrifices
17:02I have to get out of here
17:04This will keep him busy
17:08Let's see how long it takes for them to fix that
17:12Y'all already know my struggle
17:15So when I heard Danai defend
17:17On the bullet?
17:18Like, and the niving is wrong
17:20But I am on the edge
17:21DB health is corrupt
17:23And karma's a bitch, hunty
17:25So I'm rooting for Mateo
17:27Excuse me, officer
17:32I just found this
17:34Yeah, I was over there
17:40You contaminated evidence, you idiot
17:43My bad
17:44Hey, chief
17:45We found the backpack
17:47Get the fuck out of here
17:56Give me that
18:01There's a note
18:14How much paper for a life
18:19And you keep raising the price
18:22Who gave them the right to choose
18:25Time to adjust and fade their dues
18:28Take this to forensics
18:31Got it
18:32The plot is thickening
18:35And I think our vigilante
18:36Has just earned his nickname
18:38The adjuster
18:39Let me know what you think
18:40In the comments below
18:41I 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
19:27So we throwed out these glasses
19:29Everything's a big blur
19:30Then get out of my face
19:32This 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
19:58If they don't understand why I did it
20:00But they will soon
20:02Claims to seem humane
20:05Denying claims to seem humane
20:07Denying claims to seem humane
20:10Who gave them the right to choose
20:12A justice now or pay or due?
20:14Who gave them the right to choose
20:16A justice now or pay or due?
20:18This is what I wanted
20:22The people rising up
20:24Shouting back at the system
20:26That tried to silence them
20:27Who gave them the right to choose?
20:29A justice now or pay?
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
20:37Harassing people at your age
20:40I'm proud to fight for what's right
20:42For what we all deserve
20:43You're defending a murderer
20:45Who are 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
20:53How 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 loudmouth maggots
21:07Are stealing our precious time
21:09Leave
21:10Before I make you
21:12Go ahead and try
21:13You shouldn't have done that one
21:21Yeah?
21:22How about this?
21:27Do you realize you just assaulted
21:30The CEO of Purple Cross?
21:32I was defending myself
21:33What you did
21:34What you did to my friend Patty here
21:36That was assault
21:38Who's gonna believe
21:39Some decrepit old woman
21:40And her rat-faced sidekick
21:42Over a CEO and his wife
21:44Everyone here
21:45They all saw what happened
21:46You mean these lazy invalids
21:48Who'd rather shout themselves hoarse
21:51Demanding money from us
21:53Than work an honest job
21:55I worked night shift
21:57For 35 years in a warehouse
21:59Till the insurance company
22:00Denied my back surgery
22:02I was trained to become a pilot
22:03Until Purple Cross
22:05Denied my insulin prescription
22:06Now I'm blind in one eye
22:08And have to give up on everything
22:09I worked for
22:10All they want is a chance to live
22:13You're done taking that away?
22:16I'm done
22:17Newsflash
22:19The one who has the gold
22:20Makes the rules, asshole
22:21Aw, did no one tell you?
22:25This protest is pointless
22:26You'll all stay poor
22:28And sick
22:30Begging for money
22:31You're never gonna get
22:32Like diseased hamsters
22:34Stuck 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
22:43People listen
22:47Here's Amelia's insurance money
22:52They need it more than I do
22:54Here's your medication
22:55There's enough here for everyone
22:58Okay?
22:59Hey
22:59There's over 200k in here
23:03Either you stole this
23:05Or you're a drug dealer
23:07Let's go out for a real nice dinner tonight, honey
23:10Stealing 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
23:20Pricks like you don't scare me anymore
23:25Yeah?
23:25How about the cops?
23:28They'll get me eventually
23:29But not today
23:31What makes you think you're so invincible?
23:34You're a scrawny little nobody
23:35I'm the CEO of a billion dollar healthcare company
23:39You have no idea who I am
23:42And you don't want to find out
23:44Who gave you the right to choose?
23:49Adjust things now or pay your due?
23:51Who gave you the right to choose?
23:53Adjust things now or pay your due?
23:54Who gave you the right to choose?
23:56Adjust things now or pay your due?
23:59Who gave you the right to choose?
24:01Adjust things now or pay your due?
24:03I'm shutting this down
24:05We're not going anywhere
24:07We're not going anywhere
24:10Who gave you the right to choose?
24:13Adjust things now or pay your due?
24:15Who gave you the right to choose?
24:17Adjust things now or pay your due?
24:18Cops aren't going to be enough
24:19We need the mayor
24:20Mayor Camden, there are violent protesters in front of DB Health intimidating pedestrians.
24:27Protesters, huh? Those chanting morons are a virus infecting the minds of our youth.
24:34I'll send more officers over.
24:37Mr. Mayor, their leader is the adjuster.
24:41I'll be there in five.
24:43It's for you. It's for you.
24:49Yeah, one more for you. Please.
24:55It's a miracle. But how?
24:58So 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! The adjuster!
25:12That's the mayor. Now you'll be sorry. Mayor Camden, he's here.
25:19This pathetic guy is the adjuster? The calculated terrorist who murdered my dear friend Randy!
25:25I can't let them take me in yet. My work isn't done.
25:33No. I am the adjuster.
25:36No. I'm the adjuster.
25:38It's me. I'm the adjuster.
25:40It's me. I'm the adjuster.
25:41No, it's me. I'm the adjuster.
25:44Go! Now!
25:47Get him! Let's go! He's getting away!
25:50Get him! He's getting away!
25:54He's getting away!
25:56He's over there!
25:57Don't let him go!
25:58Don't let him go!
25:59Don't let him go!
26:06There!
26:07There!
26:08Get him!
26:09Get him!
26:10Get him! Get him! Get him! Get him! Get him!
26:14Not so clever after all!
26:16Get him!
26:17Ah!
26:18Get him!
26:19Get him!
26:20Ha!
26:21Hey, man!
26:22Hey, you cold?
26:24Can you use a jacket?
26:38Right there.
26:39Take care of it, man. Stay safe.
26:5426-year-old Matteo Leone has been identified as the CEO shooter.
26:59A $10,000 reward is being offered for any info that comes into our office.
27:04My name is out there now, but I won't hide for much longer.
27:09I wish someone didn't have to die to make them listen.
27:34I wish I could hear my sisters laugh just one more time.
27:38But life isn't fair.
27:45Do you need some help?
27:47Do you mind?
27:48I don't mind.
27:49I have to put her on these walks so she can sleep.
27:51And then when she's asleep, I can never lift this up.
27:55Have a good night.
27:56The healthcare system has failed the people and it needs to be taken down.
28:04This won't bring Amelia back.
28:17But it will save millions.
28:18I'm not a monster.
28:32Accountability is part of the plan.
28:42Have a good one.
28:47And I'm almost ready to take it.
28:50And I'm almost ready to take it.
28:54I have to leave everyone in the room.
28:55I'm not gonna be able to take the time.
29:01I can't remember what to do...
29:07I don't mind.
29:09I can't run forever.
29:27One last thing to check off the list.
29:33Let me get a McCrazy with Oreo space.
29:37It's fire.
29:39Can I have a bite?
29:41What?
29:42You want a bite?
29:43Yeah.
29:44Um, if you pay for your own, I guess, sure.
29:47Maybe, okay, sure.
29:48Can I get two then?
29:53And, uh, you can keep the change.
29:57No, fuck in the way.
30:02Hey, I got the car you're looking for.
30:06My time as a free man is ending.
30:08But 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.
30:24Matteo Leone.
30:26Please, don't do anything stupid.
30:30Is there a problem, officers?
30:31You little shit.
30:37Chief, it's all here.
30:42You're under arrest, motherfucker.
30:44You have the right to remain silent.
30:52Go ahead and arrest me.
30:53The people are about to wake up.
30:55No way.
31:00No way.
31:02If 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.
31:22How do you plead?
31:25They have it all wrong.
31:28Not guilty.
31:34Answer me, you shit-eating cockroach!
31:40Or should I pull the teeth out from your pretty little smile?
31:43Don't you realize you're gonna get the death penalty?
31:47You fucking realize nobody's free until everybody's free?
31:54Let 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.
32:11And I won't rest until you're on death row.
32:17And you're afraid of me because you can't stop what I started.
32:21You're losing control, Mayor Cameron.
32:23Is that what you think?
32:24Well, let's see what the streets have to say, huh?
32:26Come on.
32:34After you, gentlemen.
32:41Hang in there, Mateo.
32:47Hang in there, Mateo.
32:48We're all on your side.
32:49We're fighting for you.
32:50You're fighting for you.
32:54You're going down.
33:00Great use of resources, guys.
33:01No talking.
33:02The system is designed to annihilate scum like you.
33:07Burn in hell, you filthy criminal.
33:10You'll fry in that chair.
33:11You scared of me, Mr. CEO?
33:13Scared?
33:14Where's your money now?
33:15You're empty threats.
33:16You think you're some sort of superhero?
33:18You're shit on the bottom of a shoe.
33:21A fly about to be swatted.
33:23Easy for you to say.
33:24Surrounded by cops in your bulletproof vests.
33:27Cowards!
33:29All of you!
33:29I could rip you apart!
33:37You're nothing but a filthy criminal.
33:40Powerless.
33:41Stupid.
33:43Pathetic.
33:44I didn't even know it.
33:45Back off.
33:46Let the court decide.
33:48Innocent is unproven guilty.
33:50Innocent is unproven guilty.
33:52Innocent is unproven guilty.
33:54Innocent is unproven guilty.
33:56It's completely unjust.
33:57It's an insult to the intelligence of the American people
34:00and 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.
34:12Innocent is unproven guilty.
34:14Hear me!
34:16See you in court.
34:18Innocent is unproven guilty.
34:20Innocent is unproven guilty.
34:22Innocent is unproven 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.
34:39What are you in here for, princess?
34:44What'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?
34:56I fuck you.
34:57Mateo, Leone.
35:04Oh, shit.
35:06You to your Jester.
35:13Dixon, you see the brothers in here,
35:15they'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, cleanest man up.
35:26Take a seat, bro.
35:27I'll fight to the death.
35:57Janet 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 Mateo Leone, also known as the adjuster.
36:13You saw the wanted 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?
36:23It's called survival of the fish.
36:26We have now!
36:27The vibes are giving pressure cooker.
36:30We have now!
36:31We have now!
36:32We have now!
36:33We have now!
36:33We have now!
36:33We have now!
36:34We have now!
36:35Better, better, come on.
37:01People are waking up.
37:03Enjoy it while it lasts.
37:05Our case is airtight.
37:07After this, nothing but prison and death
37:10for a sadistic monster like you.
37:12We'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.
37:19You, who?
37:20Come on.
37:21You, who?
37:31You!
37:32You!
37:33You!
37:33You!
37:34You!
37:35Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
37:46Matteo Leone viciously targeted Randall Thornwald.
37:51Rather than grieve with dignity when his sister died of cancer,
37:54he cruelly premeditated the murder of a loving family man,
37:59a successful visionary CEO worth billions,
38:02who purposely profited off of people's pain.
38:08These 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.
38:29He 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.
38:39Mr. Leone is entitled, manipulative, and frankly, psychotic.
38:47Thank you, Mayor Camden.
38:50For my final witness, I call Brady Thornwald, Randall Thornwald's son.
38:55Brady, how has the death of your father, your hero, affected you?
39:16Will this kid be the nail in my coffin?
39:18My father's not my hero.
39:27Uh, you mean?
39:31I mean, I was incredibly devastated, um, when that cold-blooded killer took my father's life away from me.
39:44You 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 just...
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.
40:13Order!
40:18Mayor Camden, one more word and you'll be held in contempt.
40:23Yeah, yeah, yeah.
40:24No further questions.
40:27Based on the evidence provided,
40:31Matteo Leone undoubtedly is guilty of murder in the first degree.
40:35Prosecution rests.
40:39Ms. Weinhart?
40:43Judge will shine, people of the jury.
40:46As the prosecution detailed,
40:49my client, Matteo Leone,
40:52shot and killed the CEO of DB Health,
40:56Randall Thornwall, dead.
40:58Someone 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.
41:18And today, we're here to defend his right
41:21so he can defend himself and others
41:24from becoming victims of a murderous corporation.
41:35Order!
41:37I call Patty Sinclair to the stand.
41:39Please, tell us what happened to your husband.
41:57Clay and I, we just found out that we were going to be grandparents.
42:02Then, one night, Clay had a heart attack.
42:09A doctor prescribed a treatment plan,
42:11but DB Health said,
42:12no, not medically necessary.
42:15It would cost hundreds of thousands out of pocket.
42:17So we appealed,
42:19but 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,
42:27but they couldn't because they don't make prosthetics.
42:29I got addicted to pain medication,
42:31but denied the surgery to cure my pain for good.
42:34We went bankrupt,
42:36and now we're homeless.
42:37Couldn't afford it.
42:39So he died.
42:40Appealed.
42:41But now she's paralyzed.
42:51If DB Health had approved my husband's surgery,
42:55he would still be alive.
42:56And this young man, Mateo,
42:59saw how so many of us were being taken advantage of
43:02by DB Health's predatory business.
43:06And he did what no one else had the courage
43:09or actually the balls to do.
43:13He stood up.
43:18Your Honor, I call Mr. Mateo Leoti to stand.
43:39This isn't a circus!
43:41Order in the court!
43:42Do you swear to tell the truth
43:48and nothing but the truth?
43:54If you swear to listen,
43:58I swear to tell the truth.
44:05Mr. Leoti,
44:06what drove you to kill the CEO of DB Health?
44:10Mr. Mateo Leoti to stand.
44:17Your Honor,
44:18it'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,
44:37I want to tell you why.
44:40This is Amelia,
44:43my 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
44:55if she started treatment right away.
44:58But DB Health wouldn't cover it.
45:01Even with a decent job,
45:02I couldn't afford to pay out of pocket.
45:05So I appealed.
45:06I was optimistic.
45:07I didn't know that there are almost 200,000 health insurance-related deaths per year.
45:13As we waited for a response,
45:16I 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.
45:32He told me it was nothing personal.
45:37It's just the business of keeping people sick.
45:43And then he smiled.
45:47Amelia died.
45:48And I found out our story is very, very common.
45:57I'm talking mass corruption
45:59leading to massive amounts of lives ruined.
46:03Hundreds of thousands of lives ruined.
46:05All to fill their pockets.
46:08But 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?
46:17The defense rests.
46:28Nothing more to do but wait.
46:37After thorough consideration,
46:39Purple Cross Health will discontinue
46:40our limited anesthesia policy.
46:43Our company will end its wait-and-see policy
46:45beginning at the first of the month.
46:47We'll be halting our lottery policy effectively.
46:49Whatever happens today,
46:51you 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
47:08had to go through such senseless pain.
47:10No one should have to experience
47:11that kind of systemic failure.
47:13You are an inspiration
47:14and your daughter is lucky
47:16to have a mother who didn't back down.
47:18All my best,
47:19Matteo Leone.
47:22Death or life in prison.
47:33At least I said my piece.
