00:00CEO of DV Health has been shot dead.
00:03Matteo Leone has been identified as a shooter.
00:07This is for you, Amelia.
00:10My nine-year-old sister.
00:13Your insurance died for a 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.
00:33Matteo Leone.
00:34Go ahead and arrest me.
00:35The people are about to wake up.
00:37Who has had the right to choose a justice 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.
00:56The United States versus Matteo Leone.
01:07Do you know what it's like to watch someone you love endure constant senseless pain?
01:14Of course you don't.
01:16You're incapable of empathy.
01:18I tried to do it the right way.
01:24But you made it impossible.
01:30And now, I understand suffering.
01:35All I feel is rage in my chest.
01:38I 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.
01:57Her chemotherapy is supposed to start today.
02:01Please, please, just check one more time.
02:03I mean, you should calm down.
02:04I will check one more time for you, okay?
02:05Okay, okay.
02:06Your insurance did not her claim.
02:08The treatment is canceled.
02:13Canceled?
02:17So you're telling me there's nothing we can do?
02:19You want to continue treatment?
02:21Then pay out of pocket.
02:32You will die.
02:33I've done all that I can.
02:35You still got a problem?
02:36You can appeal or take it up with the CEO of your insurance company.
02:41I have to appeal.
02:52Or Amelia's gonna die.
02:58Say, I don't feel...
03:00What?
03:01What?
03:02What?
03:03What?
03:04I still believe that someone up there might listen.
03:09They denied the appeal?
03:32No!
03:33No, I don't want to die.
03:34I don't want to die.
03:35It's okay, Amelia.
03:36You're okay, you're okay.
03:37You're gonna be okay.
03:38Someone help.
03:39Hello?
03:40Doctor, hello?
03:42Please.
03:43She's all I have left.
03:44Please, someone save her.
03:45Please.
03:52Your sister's leukemia has spread,
03:54and I gave her an emergency stem cell transplant.
03:57But without continuing the treatment,
03:59she has no chance.
04:00I'm done going down with these money-hunger assholes.
04:14I'm done going down with these money-hunger assholes.
04:27I'm gonna cover my sister's treatment or I'll...
04:31Insurance troubles?
04:35DB 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 birthday today.
04:49It was his favorite.
04:51Now I can't have one in his honor
04:53because DB Health wouldn't cover my tremor medications anymore.
04:57Thank you, young man.
05:03I'm sorry about your sister.
05:05I'm sorry about your husband.
05:08Those greedy bastards don't care if any of us live or die
05:14as long as their pockets are lined.
05:16Don't let them get you down.
05:18We've got to fight back.
05:30If I could just meet him face to face.
05:32If I could just tell him.
05:34Check your notes there.
05:36I'll show you right now.
05:38All right, you know the drill.
05:40Get down your horses, boys.
05:42I'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.
05:50These little coffins are so cute.
05:54Don'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.
06:03What do you want, dipshit?
06:05Mr. Thornwall, you'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 near me again, you're gonna be very sorry.
06:12It's you who will be sorry.
06:14If you won't hear me out, I'll make you.
06:34If you won't hear me out, I'll make you.
06:49Hey.
06:50Who are you?
06:52Stop!
06:53Get back here!
06:54Security!
06:55Catch him!
07:10The fuck is this?
07:11You underestimated me.
07:13You underestimated me.
07:15I'm sorry, who are you?
07:18The guy who sits there you're slowly killing!
07:21He's only nine years old!
07:23She has her whole life ahead of her!
07:25You want a bottle cry, baby?
07:28You think I give a fuck about some snotty kid's wasted potential?
07:33He was denied.
07:34So what?
07:35That's business.
07:36It's not my fault you're too broke to save your sister's life.
07:39You heartless son of a dick!
07:43When the world finds out what you've done to children,
07:46how many people your business has killed!
07:48Phil, what?
07:51Nobody's gonna listen to you.
07:56You're not even a pimple on my ass.
08:04God!
08:05You shouldn't have done that.
08:24Gallons of blood on your hands, but soon yours will be on mine.
08:28Don't give up, Amelia.
08:30Keep fighting.
08:31I'll find another way.
08:35No.
08:36Keep this.
08:37So, Mom and Daddy, you love them.
08:38No!
08:39No!
08:40Amelia!
08:41No!
08:42Amelia!
08:43No!
08:44Amelia!
08:45No!
08:46Amelia!
08:47Doctors!
08:48Doctors!
08:49Amelia!
08:50No!
08:51No!
08:52No!
08:53Amelia!
08:54No!
08:55No!
08:56No!
08:57Amelia!
08:58No!
08:59No!
09:00No!
09:01No!
09:02No!
09:03No!
09:04No!
09:05No!
09:06No!
09:11I hate how quiet it is without you.
09:13You were just a kid.
09:15You had a whole life unlived.
09:18A future.
09:20But they took it from you.
09:22They denied you.
09:24Almost enough to pay for the treatment that would have saved your life.
09:37A sick joke.
09:38How naive to trust the system.
09:39To believe that a rich health insurance CEO would actually care about people.
09:50It's unjust.
09:51I'm done being upon.
09:52I'm done being upon.
10:05No!
10:06No!
10:07No!
10:08No!
10:09No!
10:10No!
10:11No!
10:12No!
10:13No!
10:14But I'm going to get higher.
10:16Go back!
10:17I'm going to get better youtube control.
10:18You think you're untouchable.
10:19You hide behind your billions while the rest of us fight for scraps.
10:20But all that's gonna change
10:26Because you're not a god
10:29When my bullet hits you
10:32You'll bleed
10:50She'll never get to see this amazing place
11:06You took everything away from her
11:22And she's not the only one
11:23You'll pay for it all
11:27Do you have a reservation?
11:33Mario Lanchotti
11:34Why so serious, Batman?
11:40If only she knew
11:41So, Mario
11:46Are you here for business or...
11:54Not sure
11:55Off to work
12:03Off to school
12:05Just an ordinary day
12:08We should be celebrating
12:15But you're gone
12:22And now everything is about to change
12:26Remember me, Mr. Thornwald?
12:52Get out of my way, scum
12:55You'll never deny anyone else ever again
13:04Now run!
13:13I thought I'd regret it
13:38But this feels like justice
13:45Now time for phase two
13:53Chief, it's over here
14:06Let's go
14:07Who would murder the CEO of DD Health
14:15What happened here, Chief?
14:20Randall Thornwald was murdered in cold blood
14:23Hey, Chief, check this out
14:25And there's two more
14:26And there's two more
14:27Defend and oppose
14:30You don't think it's some whack job vigilante
14:32Mere moments ago
14:36A man now identified as 54-year-old Randall Thornwald
14:41CEO of DB Health
14:42Has been shot dead
14:44Using bullets labeled
14:45Deny, defend and depose
14:47Police are speculating
14:49Police are speculating
14:49That the assailant
14:49Might be a vigilante
14:51Whoever did this
14:54Enjoy your freedom
14:56Because we will hunt you down
14:59And when I catch you
15:00You'll never see the light of day again
15:03I need to walk free long enough
15:05To make sure my message
15:06Is heard loud and clear
15:07I did this so others won't die
15:19Like my sister did
15:20But what would she think of me now?
15:32I have to go back
15:37Yes, Mr. Mayor
15:40I know Randall Thornwald
15:41Was a close personal friend
15:43He was a goddamn visionary
15:44And we're doing everything we can
15:46To catch him
15:47Find the psychopath
15:48And murder them
15:48Who you'll never work again
15:50Sir, we'll squash this cocky fucker
15:52Faster than you can
15:53I'll call you back, Mr. Mayor
15:55CCTV caught the perp
15:59Biking into Central Park
16:01Hit it
16:07I shouldn't have come back
16:09But I can't let this go
16:10Over there
16:12They're faster than I thought
16:19Search the area
16:22I have an email
16:23Where could it
16:32Could this be a clue?
16:51Lieutenant
16:52I knew there would be sacrifices
16:56I have to get out of here
16:58This will keep him busy
17:03Let's see how long it takes
17:05For them to fix that
17:06Y'all already know my struggle
17:09So when I heard
17:10Denai defend
17:11On the bullets
17:12Like
17:13And the knifing is wrong
17:14But I am on the edge
17:16DB health is corrupt
17:17And karma is a bitch, hunty
17:19So I'm rooting for Mateo
17:21Excuse me, officer
17:26I just found it
17:28Yeah, I was over there
17:34You contaminated evidence, you idiot
17:37My bad
17:38Hey, chief
17:39We found the backpack
17:41Get the fuck out of here
17:50Give me that
17:54There's a note
18:08How much paper for a life
18:13And you keep raising the price
18:15Who gave them the right to choose
18:19Time to adjust
18:20And pay their dues
18:22Take this to forensics
18:25Got it
18:26The plot is thickening
18:29And I think our vigilante
18:30Has just earned his nickname
18:32The Adjuster
18:33Let me know what you think
18:34In the comments below
18:35I won't be made a fool of
18:44I won't be made a fool of
18:44Have you seen this man?
19:11Tell us what you know, dickwad
19:14Look, I don't see nothing
19:18My insurance wouldn't cover new glasses
19:21So we throwed out these glasses
19:22Everything's a big blur
19:23Then get out of my face
19:26This Adjuster will pay with his life
19:30People are rooting for this guy
19:40Just shows how sick our society is
19:42Okay, but the Adjuster can get it done
19:44He's too hot to collect
19:48Some loser who wanted to be famous
19:50All of this is pointless
19:52If they don't understand why I did it
19:54But they will soon
19:56Claims are seen humane
19:59Denying claims are seen humane
20:01Denying claims are seen humane
20:03Who gave them the right to choose
20:06A justice now or pay or due
20:08Who gave them the right to choose
20:10A justice now or pay or due
20:12This is what I wanted
20:16The people rising up
20:18Shouting back at the system
20:19That tried to silence them
20:21Who gave them the right to choose
20:22A justice now or pay
20:24Denying claims is inhumane
20:25Denying claims is inhumane
20:27Denying claims is inhumane
20:29You should be ashamed of yourself
20:31Harassing people at your age
20:33I'm proud to fight for what's right
20:35For what we all deserve
20:36You're defending a murderer
20:38Who are what?
20:42Look at you, shaking like a leaf
20:44You're nothing but a weak old
20:45Don't lay a hand on her
20:47How dare you touch me
20:49Who's touching my wife?
20:53You better apologize, punk
20:54Your wife's the one who should apologize
20:56She stole something that doesn't belong to her
20:58You loudmouth maggots
21:00Are stealing our precious time
21:03Leave
21:04Before I make you
21:05Go ahead and try
21:06You shouldn't have done that wrong
21:14Oh yeah
21:15How about this
21:17Do you realize you just assaulted the CEO of Purple Crossing?
21:25I was defending myself
21:26What you did
21:27What you did to my friend Patty here
21:29That was assaulting
21:31Who's gonna believe some decrepit old woman
21:33And her rat-faced sidekick
21:35Over a CEO and his wife
21:37Everyone here
21:38They all saw what happened
21:40You mean these lazy invalids
21:42Who'd rather shout themselves hoarse
21:44Demanding money from us
21:46Than work an honest job
21:48I worked night shift
21:50For 35 years in a warehouse
21:52Till the insurance company denied my back surgery
21:55I was trained to become a pilot
21:57Until Purple Cross didn't add my insulin prescription
22:00Now I'm blind in one eye
22:01And have to give up on everything I worked for
22:04All they want is a chance to live
22:06You're done taking that away
22:09I'm done
22:10Newsflash
22:12The one who has the gold makes the rules, asshole
22:14Aw, did no one tell you?
22:18This protest is pointless
22:20You'll all stay poor and sick
22:23Begging for money you're never gonna get
22:25Like diseased hamsters stuck in a broken wheel
22:28It's how the world works
22:30You can't do it without money
22:31It's always about money
22:33You're right
22:34Your money talks
22:36People listen
22:41Here's Amelie's insurance money
22:45They need it more than I do
22:47Free medication
22:48There's enough here for everyone
22:51Okay?
22:52Hey
22:52There's over 200k in here
22:56Either you stole this
22:58Or you're a drug dealer
23:00Let's go out for a real nice dinner tonight, honey
23:03Stealing 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
23:13Preach like you don't scare me anymore
23:18Yeah?
23:19How about the cops?
23:21They'll get me eventually
23:22But not today
23:24What makes you think you're so invincible?
23:27You'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
23:37Who gave you the right to choose?
23:42Adjust things now or pay your due
23:43Who gave you the right to choose?
23:46Adjust things now or pay your due
23:47Who gave you the right to choose?
23:50Adjust things now or pay your due
23:51Who gave you the right to choose?
23:54Adjust things now or pay your due
23:55I'm shutting this down
23:57We're not going anywhere
24:00We're not going anywhere
24:02Who gave you the right to choose?
24:06Adjust things now or pay your due
24:08Who gave you the right to choose?
24:09Cops aren't going to be enough. We need the mayor.
24:14Mayor Camden, there are violent protesters in front of DB Health intimidating pedestrians.
24:20Protesters, huh? Those chanting morons are a virus infecting the minds of our youth.
24:26I'll send more officers over.
24:29Mr. Mayor, their leader is the adjuster.
24:34I'll be there in five.
24:36For you. It's for you.
24:42Yeah, one more for you. Please.
24:47It's a miracle. But how?
24:51This is my sister's life insurance money.
24:53She'd want me to help people out while they still have a fighting chance.
24:58Consider an adjustment.
25:00There he is! The adjuster!
25:05That's the mayor. Now you'll be sorry.
25:07Mayor Camden, he's here.
25:11This pathetic guy is the adjuster? The calculated terrorist who murdered my dear friend Randy!
25:18I can't let them take me in yet. My work isn't done.
25:20No. I am the adjuster. No. I am the adjuster. No. I'm the adjuster. It's me. I'm the adjuster. No, it's me. I'm the adjuster.
25:35Go! Now!
25:39Get him! Let's go! He's getting away!
25:43Get him! He's getting away!
25:47Don't let him go! Don't let him go!
25:50Don't let him go! Don't let him go!
25:54Don't let him go!
25:57There!
25:58Don't let him go! Don't let him go!
26:01Don't let him go! Don't let him go!
26:04Don't let him go! Don't let him go!
26:06Not so clever, after all.
26:21Hey, man.
26:27Hey, you cool?
26:29Can you use the jacket?
26:33Hang right there.
26:35Here.
26:36God bless.
26:36Good to see you.
26:43Take care of it, man.
26:44Stay safe.
26:4726-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.
26:59I 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.
27:33Do you need some help?
27:39Do you mind?
27:41I don't mind.
27:42I have to put her on these walks so she can sleep, and then when she's asleep, I can never lift this up.
27:46I can't wait.
27:47I can't wait.
27:47I can't wait.
27:48I can't wait.
27:48I can't wait.
27:48I can't wait.
27:49I can't wait.
27:49I can't wait.
27:50Have a good night.
27:50Have a good night.
27:52The health care system has failed the people, and it needs to be taken down.
27:56down. This won't bring Amelia back, but it will save millions.
28:26I'm not a monster. Accountability is part of the plan. Have a good one. And I'm almost ready
28:42to take it.
29:12I can't run forever. One last thing to check off the list. Let me get a McCrazy with Oreo
29:28spice. It's fire. Can I have a bite? What? You want a bite? Yeah. If you pay for your own,
29:37I guess. Sure. Maybe. Okay. Sure. Can I get two then? And you can keep the change. Thank
29:46you. No fucking way. Hey, I got the guy you're looking for. My time as a free man is ending,
30:00but are any of us really free? Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. Well,
30:13well, well. Matteo Leone. Please, don't do anything stupid. Is there a problem, officers?
30:22You little shit. Chief, it's all here. You're under arrest, motherfucker. You have the right
30:42to remain silent. Go ahead and arrest me. The people are about to wake up. No way. If
30:53you're reading this, I am in police custody. I won't stop fighting, but I can't do it alone.
30:59Will you join me? Matteo Leone is a cold-blooded killer who brutally murdered CEO Randall Thornwald.
31:11For his crimes, we are seeking the death penalty. How do you plead? They have it all wrong.
31:19Not guilty. Answer me, you shit-eating cockroach. Or should I pull the teeth out from your
31:33pretty little smile? Don't you realize you're going to get the death penalty? You realize
31:39nobody's free until everybody's free? Let him go, Chief. Let him go.
31:49Can't let this sad sack have all the fun. You think you're a hero? You're a terrorist.
32:03And I won't rest until you're on death row. And you're afraid of me because you can't stop
32:09what I started. You're losing control, Mayor Cameron. Is that what you think? Well, let's
32:15see what the streets have to say, huh? No. After you, gentlemen.
32:29Hang in there, Matteo. We're all on your side. We're fighting you.
32:45You're going down. Great use of resources, guys. So talking. The system is designed to annihilate
32:55scum like you. Burn in hell, you filthy criminal. You'll fry in that chair. You scared of me,
33:03Mr. CEO? Scared? Where's your money now? You're empty threats. You think you're some
33:09sort of superhero? You're shit on the bottom of a shoe. A fly about to be
33:13swatted. Easy for you to say. Surrounded by cops in your bulletproof vests.
33:17Cowards. All of you. I could rip you apart. You're nothing but a filthy criminal. Powerless.
33:31Stupid. Pathetic. I didn't even know it. Back off. Let the court decide. Innocent is
33:39proven guilty. Innocent is proven guilty. Innocent is proven guilty. Innocent is proven guilty.
33:47It's completely unjust. It's an insult to the intelligence of the American people and their
33:51lived experience. It's an insult to the American people and their lived experience. They can
33:59yell all they want, but they can't keep you from rotting in jail. Come on. Hear me. See you in
34:07case. Innocent is proven guilty. Innocent is proven guilty. Innocent is proven guilty. No one can
34:17protect you in here. Let's see how long you last. Maybe I deserve everything that's coming
34:29to me. You're in here for a princess. It's your name, boy.
34:36Better start answering me, son, before I fuck you up, boy. I'm gonna fuck you up so bad
34:42they ain't gonna be able to recognize you when I'm fucking through. Now what's your fucking
34:46name, boy? Mateo. Leone. Oh, shit. You're the adjuster. Dixon. You see the brothers in here, they're all gonna test you and they're gonna fuck with you. But they gotta get to us first. Now my man Terrence over here is gonna get you cleaned up. Yo, T. Cleanest man up.
34:52Take a seat, bro.
34:54Take a seat, bro.
34:58The denial letter came a week after we buried it.
35:04I'm so sorry that happened.
35:06And what you did made a lot of guys in here feel a lot better.
35:08I'm so sorry that happened.
35:10And what you did made a lot of guys in here feel a lot better. Just feel less hopeless.
35:16There's no going back.
35:18There's no going back.
35:20A lot of guys in here feel a lot better.
35:24Just feel less hopeless.
35:28There's no going back.
35:30I'll fight to the death.
35:34Janet here, but the man of the hour hasn't shown yet.
35:36If you didn't know, today is the first day of the trial of the century.
35:40The United States versus Matteo Leone.
35:42I'm so sorry that happened.
35:44And what you did made a lot of guys in here feel a lot better.
35:46Just feel less hopeless.
35:48There's no going back.
35:50I'll fight to the death.
35:52Janet here, but the man of the hour hasn't shown yet.
35:54If you didn't know, today is the first day of the trial of the century.
35:58The United States versus Matteo Leone, also known as the adjuster.
36:02You saw the wanted posters.
36:05Corrupt CEO's time is running out.
36:08You crusty plebeians could never get past security.
36:11Oh yeah? You sure about that?
36:13It's called survival of the fix.
36:15We have not.
36:17The vibes are giving pressure cooker.
36:28The people are waking up.
36:38Enjoy it while it lasts. Our case is airtight.
36:42After this, nothing but prison and death for a sadistic monster like you.
37:00You'll see about that?
37:01Talk to my client again?
37:03And I'll have to disbarred.
37:04I'll see you in court.
37:05All right.
37:06I'll go.
37:08All right.
37:34Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
37:36Matteo Leone viciously targeted Randall Thornwald.
37:40Rather than grieve with dignity when his sister died of cancer,
37:44he cruelly premeditated the murder of a loving family man,
37:48a successful visionary CEO worth billions.
37:52Who purposely profited off of people's pain.
37:57These witnesses will paint a picture
37:59of just how dangerous Matteo Leone is.
38:03He could have saved his sister,
38:11but he was too broke to pay.
38:13He had motive.
38:14He was aggressive from the start.
38:16He's a bully.
38:18He pushed me and threatened my husband.
38:21He wanted them to suffer.
38:23That's not true.
38:24He thought he was so smart with all his messages.
38:28Mr. Leone is entitled, manipulable, and frankly, psychotic.
38:36Thank you, Mayor Camden.
38:39For my final witness, I call Brady Thornwald,
38:43Randall Thornwald's son.
38:44Brady, how has the death of your father,
39:02your hero, affected you?
39:06Will this kid be the nail in my coffin?
39:07My father's not my hero.
39:17Uh, you mean?
39:20I mean, I was incredibly devastated
39:23when that cold-blooded killer
39:27took my father's life away from me.
39:33You know what?
39:35Fuck that.
39:36My dad enjoyed hurting people.
39:38His entire vision as CEO
39:41was built on keeping people sick.
39:43And I'm not just going to sit here and lie
39:45because some company paid me to.
39:46You disrespect your own father.
39:49After everything he did for you?
39:51You know what?
39:51Lock me up.
39:52I don't care.
39:53Objection.
39:54He can't just...
39:55I mean, sit down.
39:56You're nothing lower than suing sludge.
39:57Mr. Mayor, first,
39:59you treat him like some kind of sue event.
40:02Order!
40:07Mayor Camden, one more word
40:09and you'll be held in contempt.
40:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
40:13No further questions.
40:16Based on the evidence provided,
40:20Matteo Leone undoubtedly is guilty
40:22of murder in the first degree.
40:25Prosecution rests.
40:28Ms. Weinhart?
40:29Judge will shine.
40:34People to jury.
40:35As the prosecution detailed,
40:38my client, Matteo Leone,
40:40shot and killed the CEO of DB Health.
40:45Randall Thornwall, dead.
40:47Someone had to do it.
40:55That's right.
40:56My client does not deny killing Mr. Thornwall.
40:59What he does deny,
41:01it was unwarranted.
41:03Mr. Leone had to act drastically
41:05to save lives.
41:07And today, we're here to defend his right
41:10so he can defend himself and others
41:13from becoming victims of a murderous corporation.
41:16Let's go!
41:17Let's go!
41:18Let's go!
41:18Let's go!
41:19Let's go!
41:20Let's go!
41:20Let's go!
41:21Let's go!
41:21Let's go!
41:22Let's go!
41:22Let's go!
41:23Let's go!
41:23Let's go!
41:24Order!
41:24I call Patty Sinclair to the stand.
41:27Please, tell us what happened to your husband.
41:46Clay and I, we just found out
41:48that we were going to be grandparents.
41:51Then one night,
41:53Clay had a heart attack.
41:57A doctor prescribed a treatment plan,
42:00but DB Health said no,
42:01not medically necessary.
42:03It would cost hundreds of thousands out of pocket.
42:05So we appealed,
42:07but all of our claims were denied.
42:10I was denied a walking boot
42:12from my fractured ankle.
42:13It got so bad they had to amputate,
42:15but they couldn't because
42:16they don't make prosthetics.
42:17I got addicted to pain medication,
42:20but denied the surgery to cure my pain for good.
42:23We went bankrupt,
42:24and now we're homeless.
42:25Couldn't afford it.
42:27So he died.
42:29Appealed.
42:30But now she's paralyzed.
42:40If DB Health had approved my husband's surgery,
42:43he would still be alive.
42:45This young man, Mateo,
42:47saw how so many of us were being taken advantage of
42:50by DB Health's predatory business,
42:53and he did what no one else had the courage
42:57or actually the balls to do.
43:01He stood up.
43:07I couldn't have said it any better.
43:10Your Honor,
43:12I called Mr. Mateo Leoti to stand.
43:28This isn't a circus!
43:30Order in the court!
43:31Do you swear to tell the truth
43:36and nothing but the truth?
43:42If you swear to listen,
43:44I swear to tell the truth.
43:49Mr. Leoti,
43:54what drove you to kill the CEO of DB Health?
44:05Your Honor,
44:06it'll be better if I show you.
44:08Oh, objection!
44:09This is new evidence not found in...
44:10Sit down, counselor.
44:12Go ahead.
44:13Thanks for being here.
44:23While I still have a voice,
44:25I want to tell you why.
44:29This is Amelia,
44:30my nine-year-old sister.
44:34She was just a baby when our parents died,
44:37and it's been the two of us
44:38against the world ever since.
44:40The doctor said she could beat leukemia
44:43if she started treatment right away.
44:45But DB Health wouldn't cover it.
44:48Even with a decent job,
44:50I couldn't afford to pay out of pocket.
44:52So I appealed.
44:54I was optimistic.
44:55I didn't know that there are
44:57almost 200,000 health insurance-related deaths
45:00per year.
45:01As we waited for a response,
45:03I watched my amazing little sister get sicker.
45:08And then DB Health denied her appeal.
45:13I did everything I could to fight back.
45:16I even pleaded with the CEO himself
45:18to save her life.
45:22He told me it was nothing personal.
45:25It was just the business of keeping people sick.
45:27And then he smiled.
45:34Amelia died.
45:37And I found out our story is
45:39very,
45:41very common.
45:42I'm talking mass corruption
45:46leading to massive amounts of lives ruined.
45:50Hundreds of thousands of lives ruined.
45:53All to fill their pockets.
45:56But we're bigger than them.
45:58All right?
45:59We're bigger than them.
46:00If we stand up together,
46:02who's with me?
46:03The defense rests.
46:21Nothing more to do but wait.
46:22After thorough consideration,
46:26Purple Cross Health
46:27will discontinue
46:28our limited anesthesia policy.
46:30Our company
46:31will end its wait-and-see policy
46:32beginning at the first of the month.
46:34We'll be halting our lottery policy
46:36effectively.
46:37Whatever happens today,
46:38you did this.
46:40We the jury find
46:48Matteo Leone.
46:50Dear Tracy,
46:51your letter made me tear up.
46:53I am so sorry
46:54you and your daughter
46:55had to go through
46:55such senseless pain.
46:57No one should have to experience
46:58that kind of systemic failure.
47:00You are an inspiration
47:01and your daughter is lucky
47:03to have a mother
47:03who didn't back down.
47:05All my best,
47:06Matteo Leone.
47:10Death or life in prison.
47:20At least I said my piece.
47:40Death or life in prison.
47:45Some other people
47:45who stray from the grave
47:47to sterilize.
47:48A lot of violence
47:48I said my puerta
47:48is not like
47:49a longman
47:50where I am.
47:51It's pretty eloquent
47:51because of the death
47:51I'm already able
47:52to experience
47:53a lot of pain.
47:53Everything
47:54to our depend on
47:55I hope
47:58told us
47:58I'm a little bit
47:59but I think
48:00And basically
48:01that the Egypt
48:01will be
48:01very little
48:02and
48:03kept
48:03and
48:04I'm
48:05a little bit
48:06That's
