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!
10:14No!
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.
10:30When my bullet hits you,
10:33you'll bleed.
10:45She'll never get to see this amazing place.
11:15You took everything away from her and she's not the only one.
11:24You'll pay for it all.
11:31Do you have a reservation?
11:33Mario Lanchotti.
11:35Why so serious, Batman?
11:40If only she knew.
11:41So, Mario.
11:48Are you here for business or...
11:52Not sure.
12:02Off to work.
12:04Off to school.
12:06Just an ordinary day.
12:12We should be celebrating.
12:21But you're gone.
12:23And now everything is about to change.
12:41Remember me, Mr. Thornwald?
12:54Get out of my way, scum.
13:01You'll never deny anyone else ever again.
13:12Now run!
13:37I thought I'd regret it.
13:38But this feels like justice.
13:44Now time for phase two.
13:48Chief, it's over here.
13:49Let's go.
13:51Who would murder the CEO of DV Health?
13:54What happened here, Chief?
13:55Randall Thornwald was murdered in cold blood.
13:56Hey, Chief.
13:57What happened here, Chief?
13:58Randall Thornwald was murdered in cold blood.
13:59Hey, Chief.
14:00Check this out.
14:02And there's two more.
14:11Defend.
14:12Who would murder the CEO of DB Health?
14:16What happened here, Chief?
14:19Randall Thornwald was murdered in cold blood.
14:23Hey, Chief, check this out.
14:26And there's two more.
14:28Defend and oppose?
14:31You don't think it's some whack-job vigilante?
14:32Mere moments ago, a man now identified as 54-year-old Randall Thornwald, CEO of DB Health,
14:42has 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 because we will hunt you down.
14:59And when I catch you, you'll never see the light of day again.
15:03I need to walk free long enough to make sure my message is heard loud and clear.
15:08The shooter who won a life in a Randall Thornwald for all day lighted.
15:10My father didn't give a fuck!
15:12He got my...
15:14I did this so others won't die like my sister did.
15:21But what would she think of me now?
15:29I have to go back.
15:39Yes, 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 murder them, or you'll never work again.
15:50Sir, we'll squash this cocky fucker faster than you can...
15:54I'll call you back, Mr. Mayor.
15:55C-C-T-V caught the perp biking into Central Park.
16:02Hit it.
16:08I shouldn't have come back, but I can't let this go.
16:11Over there.
16:18They're faster than I thought.
16:21Search the area.
16:23I have an email.
16:25Where could it...
16:32Could this be a clue?
16:51Lieutenant.
16:52I 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.
17:10So when I heard Danai defend...
17:10On the bullet?
17:12Like, unaliving is wrong, but I am on the edge.
17:16DB health is corrupt.
17:17And karma is a bitch, hunty.
17:19So I'm rooting for Mateo.
17:25Excuse me, officer.
17:27I just found this.
17:33Yeah, it was over there.
17:35You contaminated evidence, you idiot.
17:38My bad.
17:38Hey, chief.
17:40We found the backpack.
17:49Get the fuck out of here.
17:54Give me that.
17:54There's a note.
18:11How much paper for a life?
18:14And you keep raising the price.
18:15Who gave them the right to choose?
18:19Time to adjust and pay their dues.
18:24Take this to forensics.
18:25Got it.
18:27The plot is thickening.
18:29And I think our vigilante has just earned his nickname.
18:32The Adjuster.
18:33Let me know what you think in 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?
19:12Tell us what you know, dickwad.
19:14Look, I don't see nothing.
19:19My insurance wouldn't cover new glasses, so we throwed out these glasses.
19:22Everything's a big flare.
19:25Then get out of my face.
19:28This adjuster will pay with his life.
19:39People are rooting for this guy.
19:40It just shows how sick our society is.
19:42Okay, but the adjuster can get it done.
19:47It's too hot to commit.
19:48It's some loser who wanted to be famous.
19:51All of this is pointless if they don't understand why I did it.
19:54But they will soon.
19:55But they will soon.
19:56Claims are seen to me!
19:59Denying claims are seen to me!
20:01Denying claims are seen to me!
20:03Denying claims are seen to me!
20:04Denying claims are seen to me!
20:05Denying claims are seen to me!
20:06Who gave them the right to choose a justice now or pay or do?
20:08Who gave them the right to choose a justice now or pay or do?
20:12This is what I wanted.
20:16The people rising up, shouting back at the system that tried to silence them.
20:21Who gave them the right to choose a justice power?
20:24Denying claims is inhumane! Denying claims is inhumane!
20:28Denying 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, for what we all deserve.
20:36You're defending a murderer!
20:41Who are what?
20:42Look at you, shaking like a leaf.
20:45You're nothing but a weak old...
20:45Don't lay a hand on her.
20:48How dare you touch me?
20:49Who's touching my wife?
20:52You better apologize, punk.
20:55Your 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!
21:04Before I make you go ahead and try.
21:06You shouldn't have done that wrong.
21:15Oh yeah?
21:16How about this?
21:17Do you realize you just assaulted the CEO of Purple Crossing?
21:25I was defending myself.
21:26What you did, what you did to my friend Patty here, that was assault.
21:31Who's going to believe some decrepit old woman and her rat-faced sidekick over a CEO and his wife?
21:37Everyone here, they all saw what happened.
21:40You mean these lazy invalids who'd rather shout themselves hoarse, demanding money from us, than work an honest job?
21:48I worked night shift for 35 years in a warehouse, till the insurance company denied my back surgery.
21:55I was trained to become a pilot, until Purple Cross didn't add my insulin prescription.
22:00Now I'm blind in one eye, and have to give up on everything I worked for.
22:04All they want is a chance to live.
22:08You're done taking that away?
22:10I'm done.
22:11Newsflash.
22:12The one who has the gold makes the rules, asshole.
22:15Aw, did no one tell you?
22:17This protest is pointless.
22:20You'll all stay poor and sick, begging for money you're never going to get.
22:26Like diseased hamsters stuck in a broken wheel.
22:29It's how the world works.
22:30You can't do it without money.
22:32It's always about money.
22:34You're right.
22:35When money talks, people listen.
22:43Here's Emilia's insurance money.
22:45They need it more than I do.
22:47Free medication.
22:50There's enough here for everyone.
22:52Okay?
22:52Hey!
22:54There's over 200k in here.
22:57Either you stole this, or you're a drug dealer.
23:00Let's go out for a real nice dinner tonight, honey.
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.
23:16Preach like you don't scatter me anymore.
23:18Yeah?
23:19How about the cops?
23:21They'll get me eventually.
23:22You're not today.
23:24What makes you think you're so invincible?
23:27You're a scrawny little nobody.
23:29I'm the CEO of a billion-dollar healthcare company.
23:32You have no idea who I am, and you don't want to find out who gave you the right to choose.
23:42Adjust things now or pay your due.
23:44Who gave you the right to choose?
23:46Adjust things now or pay your due.
23:48Who gave you the right to choose?
23:50Adjust things now or pay your due.
23:52Who gave you the right to choose?
23:54Adjust things now or pay your due.
23:56I'm shutting this down.
23:57Adjust things now or pay your due.
23:58We're not going anywhere.
24:00We're not going anywhere.
24:03Who gave you the right to choose?
24:06Adjust things now or pay your due.
24:07Who 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!
25:51Don't let him go!
25:52Don't let him go!
25:54Don't let him go! Don't let him go!
25:55Don't let him go! Don't let him go! Don't let him go!
25:58There! There!
26:00Don't let him go! Don't let him go! Don't let him go!
26:02Don't let him go! Don't let him go! Don't let him go!
26:05Not so clever, after all.
26:20Hey, man.
26:26Hey, you cool?
26:28Can you use the jacket?
26:32I got you.
26:35God bless you.
26:42Take care of it, man. Stay safe.
26:4626-year-old Matteo Leone has been identified as the CEO's 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.
27:04I wish someone didn't have to die to make them listen.
27:12I wish I could hear my sisters laugh just one more time.
27:17But life isn't fair.
27:18Do you need some help?
27:19Do you mind?
27:20I don't mind.
27:21I have to put her on these walks so she can sleep.
27:23And then when she's asleep, I can never lift this up.
27:24Have a good night.
27:25Have a good night.
27:26Bye.
27:27Bye.
27:28The healthcare system has failed the people.
27:29And it needs to be taken down.
27:30Have a good night.
27:31Bye.
27:32Bye.
27:33Bye.
27:34Bye.
27:35Bye.
27:36Bye.
27:37Bye.
27:38Bye.
27:39Bye.
27:40Bye.
27:41Bye.
27:42Bye.
27:43Bye.
27:44Bye.
27:45Bye.
27:46Bye.
27:47Bye.
27:48Bye.
27:49Bye.
27:50Bye.
27:51The healthcare system has failed the people.
27:55And it needs to be taken down.
27:58This won't bring Amelia back.
28:13But it will save millions.
28:26I'm not a monster.
28:28Accountability is part of the plan.
28:38Have a good one.
28:41And I'm almost ready to take it.
28:58I can't run forever.
29:16One last thing to check off the list.
29:22Let me get a McCrazy with Oreo space.
29:29It's fire.
29:31Can I have a bite?
29:33What?
29:33You want a bite?
29:34Yeah.
29:35Um, if you pay for your own, I guess, sure.
29:39Maybe, okay, sure.
29:40Can I get two then?
29:45And, uh, you can keep the change.
29:46No fucking way.
29:53Hey.
29:54I got the guy you're looking for.
29:56My time as a free man is ending.
30:00But are any of us really free?
30:10Come on, come on, come on.
30:11Come on, come on, come on, come on.
30:12Well, well, well, well, Matteo Leone.
30:17Please, don't do anything stupid.
30:21Is there a problem, officers?
30:26You little shit.
30:28Chief, it's all here.
30:30You're under arrest, motherfucker.
30:41You have the right to remain silent.
30:44Go ahead and arrest me.
30:45The people are about to wake up.
30:51No way.
30:53If you're reading this, I am in police custody.
30:56I won't stop fighting, but I can't do it alone.
30:59Will you join me?
31:00Matteo Leone is a cold-blooded killer
31:08who brutally murdered CEO Randall Thornwald.
31:11For his crimes, we are seeking the death penalty.
31:15How do you plead?
31:17They have it all wrong.
31:19Not guilty.
31:26Answer me, you shit-eating cockroach!
31:28Or should I pull the teeth out from your pretty little smile?
31:36Don't you realize you're going to get the death penalty?
31:38Don't you realize nobody's free until everybody's free?
31:46Let him go, Chief!
31:48Let him go!
31:48Can't let this sad sack have all the fun.
31:54You think you're a hero.
32:01You're a terrorist.
32:03And I won't rest until you're on death row.
32:08And you're afraid of me because you can't stop what I started.
32:12You're losing control, Mayor Cameron.
32:14Oh, is that what you think?
32:16Well, let's see what the streets have to say, huh?
32:18You know.
32:25After you, gentlemen.
32:26Hang in there, Mateo.
32:40We're all on your side.
32:41We're fighting for you.
32:45You're going down.
32:51Great use of resources, guys.
32:52So talking.
32:53The system is designed to annihilate scum like you.
32:59Burn in hell, you filthy criminal.
33:02You'll fry in that chair.
33:04Are you scared of me, Mr. CEO?
33:05Scared.
33:06Where's your money now?
33:07You'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.
33:14Easy for you to say.
33:16Surrounded by cops in your bulletproof vests.
33:18Cowards.
33:20All of you.
33:21I could rip you apart.
33:23You're nothing but a filthy criminal.
33:31Powerless.
33:33Stupid.
33:34Pathetic.
33:35You know it.
33:36Back off.
33:37Let the court decide.
33:39Innocent is unproven guilty.
33:41Innocent is unproven guilty.
33:43Innocent is unproven guilty.
33:45Innocent is unproven guilty.
33:47It's completely unjust.
33:48It's an insult to the intelligence of the American people and their lived experience.
33:55It's an insult to the American people and their lived experience.
33:58They can yell all they want, but they can't keep you from rotting in jail.
34:03Come on.
34:04Hear me.
34:06See you in court.
34:08Innocent is unproven guilty.
34:11Innocent is unproven guilty.
34:13Innocent is unproven guilty.
34:14No one can protect you in here.
34:18Let's see how long you last.
34:28Maybe I deserve everything that's coming to me.
34:33What you in here for, princess?
34:35What's your name, boy?
34:38Better start answering me, son, before I fuck you up, boy.
34:41I'm gonna fuck you up so bad they ain't gonna be able to recognize you when I'm fucking through.
34:45Now what's your fucking name, boy?
34:49Mateo.
34:51Leone.
34:55Oh, shit.
34:57You to your jester.
35:04Dixon.
35:05You see, the brothers in here, they're gonna test you and they're gonna fuck with you.
35:08But they gotta get to us first.
35:11And my man Terrence over here is gonna get you cleaned up.
35:14Yo, T, clean this man up.
35:16Take a seat, bro.
35:25The denial letter came a week after we buried her.
35:31I'm so sorry that happened.
35:33And what you did made a lot of guys in here feel a lot better.
35:38Just feel less hopeless.
35:41There's no going back.
35:46I'll fight to the death.
35:47Janet 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.
36:03You saw the wanted posters.
36:06Corrupt CEO's time is running out.
36:08You crusty plebeians could never get past security.
36:12Oh, yeah?
36:12You sure about that?
36:14It's called survival of the fix.
36:15We have not.
36:17The vibes are giving pressure cooker.
36:20Get her, get her.
36:26Come on.
36:26The people are waking up.
36:53Enjoy it while it lasts.
36:55Our case is airtight.
36:56After this, nothing but prison and death for a sadistic monster like you.
37:01You'll see about that.
37:04Talk to my client again?
37:06And I'll have you disbarred.
37:07I'll see you in court.
37:08All right.
37:09Let's go.
37:22Do you need it?
37:25Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, Matteo Leone viciously targeted Randall Thornwald.
37:40Rather than grieve with dignity when his sister died of cancer, he cruelly premeditated the
37:46murder of a loving family man, a successful visionary CEO worth billions, who purposely
37:53profited off of people's pain.
37:58These witnesses will paint a picture of just how dangerous Matteo Leone is.
38:09He could have saved his sister, but 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, Randall Thornwald's son.
38:44Brady, how has the death of your father, your hero, affected you?
39:06Will this kid be the nail in my coffin?
39:07My father's not my hero.
39:18You mean?
39:20I mean, I was incredibly devastated when that cold-blooded killer took my father's life away
39:32away from me.
39:35You know what?
39:36Fuck that.
39:36My dad enjoyed hurting people.
39:38His entire vision as CEO was built on keeping people sick.
39:43And I'm not just going to sit here and lie because 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, you treat him like some kind of zoo event.
40:02Order!
40:07Mayor Camden, one more word and you'll be held in contempt.
40:12Yeah, yeah.
40:13No further questions.
40:16Based on the evidence provided,
40:20Matteo Leone undoubtedly is guilty of murder in the first degree.
40:25Prosecution rests.
40:27Ms. Weinhart?
40:32Judge will shine people to jury.
40:36As the prosecution detailed,
40:38my client, Matteo Leone,
40:40shot and killed the CEO of DB Health.
40:45Randall Thornwall, dead.
40:52Someone had to do it.
40:55That's right.
40:56My client does not deny killing Mr. Thornwall.
40:59What he does deny, it was unwarranted.
41:03Mr. Leone had to act drastically to 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.
41:16Order!
41:16I call Patty Sinclair to the stand.
41:27Order!
41:28I call Patty Sinclair to the stand.
41:31Please, tell us what happened to your husband.
41:46Clay and I, we just found out that we were going to be grandparents.
41:50Then one night, Clay had a heart attack.
41:57A doctor prescribed a treatment plan, but DB Health said, no, not medically necessary.
42:03It would cost hundreds of thousands out of pocket.
42:05So we appealed, but all of our claims were denied.
42:10I was denied a walking boot for my fractured ankle.
42:13It got so bad they had to amputate, but they couldn't because they don't make prosthetics.
42:17I got addicted to pain medication, but denied the surgery to cure my pain for good.
42:23We went bankrupt, and now we're homeless.
42:25Couldn't afford it, so he died.
42:29Appealed, but now she's paralyzed.
42:31If DB Health had approved my husband's surgery, he would still be alive.
42:45This young man, Mateo, saw how so many of us were being taken advantage of by DB Health's predatory business.
42:54And he did what no one else had the courage or actually the balls to do.
43:01He stood up.
43:07I couldn't have said it any better.
43:12Your Honor, I call Mr. Mateo Leoti to stand.
43:16This isn't a circus.
43:30Order in the court.
43:35Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?
43:42If you swear to listen.
43:46I swear to tell the truth.
43:53Mr. Leoti, what drove you to kill the CEO of DB Health?
44:05Your Honor, it'll be better if I show you.
44:08Oh, objection!
44:08This is new evidence not found to be...
44:10Sit down, counselor.
44:13Go ahead.
44:21Thanks for being here.
44:23While I still have a voice, I want to tell you why.
44:26This is Amelia, my nine-year-old sister.
44:34She was just a baby when our parents died.
44:37And it's been the two of us against the world ever since.
44:40The doctor said she could beat leukemia if she started treatment right away.
44:44But DB Health wouldn't cover it.
44:48Even with a decent job, I couldn't afford to pay out of pocket.
44:52So I appealed.
44:54I was optimistic.
44:55I didn't know that there are almost 200,000 health insurance-related deaths per year.
45:01As we waited for a response, I watched my amazing little sister get sicker.
45:08And then DB Health denied her appeal.
45:12I did everything I could to fight back.
45:16I even pleaded with the CEO himself to save her life.
45:22He told me it was nothing personal.
45:25It's just the business of keeping people sick.
45:27And then he smiled.
45:34Amelia died.
45:37And I found out our story is very, very common.
45:44I'm talking mass corruption leading 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.
45:57All right, we're bigger than them.
46:00If we stand up together, who's with me?
46:04The defense rests.
46:15Nothing more to do but wait.
46:24After thorough consideration, Purple Cross Health will discontinue our limited anesthesia policy.
46:30Our company will end its wait-and-see policy beginning at the first of the month.
46:34We'll be halting our lottery policy effectively.
46:37Whatever happens today, you did this.
46:40We, the jury, find Matteo Leone.
46:49Dear Tracy, your letter made me tear up.
46:53I am so sorry you and your daughter had to go through such senseless pain.
46:56No one should have to experience that kind of systemic failure.
46:59You are an inspiration and your daughter is lucky to have a mother who didn't back down.
47:04All my best, Matteo Leone.
47:06Death or life in prison, at least I said my peace.
47:20At least I said my peace.
47:21At least I said my peace.
47:22At least I said my peace.
