00:00CEO of DV Health has been shot dead.

00:04Matteo Leone has been identified as a shooter.

00:07This is for you, Amelia.

00:09My nine-year-old sister.

00:13Your insurance died for clay.

00:15She was fine.

00:17No, Amelia!

00:18I want you to do the right thing.

00:20That's business.

00:22You will never deny anyone again.

00:25Search the area.

00:26I didn't know that there are almost 200,000 health insurance-related deaths per year.

00:32Matteo Leone.

00:34Go ahead and arrest me.

00:35The people are about to wake up.

00:37Who has had the right to choose a justice now or pay your bills?

00:40The United States versus Matteo Leone, also known as the adjuster.

00:45He's a murderer.

00:46You think you're a hero?

00:48You're a terrorist.

00:49For the second charge, first-degree murder, we, the jury, find Matteo Leone.

00:56Do you know what it's like to watch someone you love endure constant senseless pain?

01:13Of course you don't.

01:16You're incapable of empathy.

01:17I tried to do it the right way, but 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.

01:55This is for all of us.

01:59Her chemotherapy is supposed to start today.

02:01Please, please, just check one more time.

02:04I will need you to calm down.

02:05I will check one more time for you, okay?

02:06Okay, okay.

02:06Your insurance did not her claim.

02:09Tremendous cancel.

02:13Canceled?

02:14What?

02:17So you're telling me there's nothing we can do?

02:19You want to continue treatment?

02:21Then pay out of pocket.

02:31She 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.

02:51I have to appeal, or Amelia's going to die.

02:54I still believe that someone up there might listen.

03:09I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die.

03:23I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I have a tail.

03:35You're okay, you're okay, you're okay.

03:36You're going to be okay.

03:37No.

03:37Someone help.

03:38Someone help.

03:40Doctor, hello?

03:42Please.

03:43She's all I have left.

03:44Please, someone save her.

03:45Your sister's leukemia has spread, and I gave her an emergency stem cell transplant.

03:57But without continuing the treatment, she has no chance.

04:00I'm done going down with these money-hungered assholes.

04:23I'm going to cover my sister's treatment or I'll...

04:30Insurance troubles?

04:34TB Health is killing my little sister.

04:37She's only nine.

04:39Evil snakes.

04:40My husband's gone because they denied every last claim.

04:45It would have been his 63rd birthday today.

04:49They were his favorite.

04:51Now I can't have one in his honor because TB Health wouldn't cover my tremor medications anymore.

05:02Thank you, young man.

05:04Sorry about your sister.

05:07I'm sorry about your husband.

05:10Those greedy bastards don't care if any of us live or die as long as their pockets are lined.

05:17Don't let them get you down.

05:18We've got to fight back.

05:30If I could just meet him face to face.

05:33If I could just tell him.

05:36Check your hands there.

05:37I'll show you right now.

05:38All right, I know the drill.

05:40Down 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 going to get 200,000 on the cancer, kid.

05:50Those little coffins are so cute.

05:54Don't you talk about my sister?

05:57Don't you talk about my sister?

05:58You asshole.

06:00You asshole.

06:00You go apologize to her right now.

06:02Make me.

06:03What do you want, dipshit?

06:05Mr. Thornwald, 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 going to be very sorry.

06:12It's you who will be sorry.

06:14If you won't hear me out, I'll make you.

06:37Hey.

06:49Who are you?

06:52Stop!

06:53Get back here!

06:55Security, catch him!

06:56What the fuck is this?

07:12You underestimated me.

07:14You underestimated me.

07:16I'm sorry, who are you?

07:19The guy who sits there you're slowly killing!

07:22He's only nine years old!

07:23She has her whole life ahead of her!

07:26You want a bottle of cry, baby?

07:29You think I'd give a fuck about some snotty kid's wasted potential?

07:33He was denied.

07:34So what?

07:35That's business.

07:37It's not my fault you're too broke to save your sister's life.

07:40You heartless son of a...

07:42Jake!

07:43When the world finds out what you've done to children,

07:47how many people your business has killed.

07:49Bill, what?

07:51Nobody's going to listen to you.

07:56You're not even a pimple on my ass.

08:03You...

08:04You...

08:05You...

08:06You...

08:07You...

08:08Randall!

08:09Randall!

08:11You...

08:12You shouldn't have done that.

08:17Gallons of blood on your hands,

08:26but soon yours will be on mine.

08:29Don't give up, Amelia.

08:30Keep fighting.

08:32I'll find another way.

08:33No.

08:47Keep this.

08:49So, Mama and Daddy, you love them.

08:55No.

08:56No, Amelia.

08:58No!

08:58Amelia!

08:59Amelia!

08:59Doctors!

09:02Doctors!

09:04Amelia!

09:06I hate how quiet it is without you.

09:14You were just a kid.

09:16You had a whole life unlived.

09:19A future.

09:21But they took it from you.

09:24They denied you.

09:25No.

09:29Almost enough to pay for the treatment that would have saved your life.

09:46A sick joke.

09:47How naive to trust the system.

09:53To believe that a rich health insurance CEO would actually care about people.

10:00It's unjust.

10:02I'm done being upon.

10:03I'm done being upon.

10:03You think you're untouchable.

10:15You hide behind your billions while the rest of us fight for scraps.

10:20But all that's going to change.

10:27Because you're not a god.

10:30When my bullet hits you, you'll bleed.

10:34I'm done being upon.

10:35I'm done being upon.

10:36I'm done being upon.

10:37I'm done being upon.

10:38I'm done being upon.

10:39I'm done being upon.

10:40I'm done being upon.

10:41I'm done being upon.

10:42I'm done being upon.

10:43I'm done being upon.

10:44I'm done being upon.

10:45I'm done being upon.

10:46I'm done being upon.

10:47I'm done being upon.

10:48I'm done being upon.

10:49I'm done being upon.

10:50I'm done being upon.

10:51I'm done being upon.

10:52I'm done being upon.

10:53I'm done being upon.

10:54She'll never get to see this amazing place.

11:19You took everything away from her and she's not the only one.

11:24You'll pay for it all.

11:31Do you have a reservation?

11:33Mario Lanchotti.

11:35Why so serious, Batman?

11:40If only she knew.

11:44So, Mario...

11:49Are you here for business or...?

11:54No, sure.

12:02Off to work.

12:04Off to school.

12:06Just an ordinary day.

12:07We should be celebrating.

12:18But you're gone.

12:20And now, everything is about to change.

12:31Remember me, Mr. Thornwald?

12:41Get out of my way, scum.

12:43Remember me, Mr. Thornwald?

12:54Get out of my way, scum.

12:55You'll never deny anyone else ever again.

13:12Now, run!

13:13I thought I'd regret it.

13:25I thought I'd regret it.

13:43But this feels like justice.

13:45Now, time for phase two.

14:05Chief, it's over here.

14:06Let's go.

14:12Who would murder the CEO of D.D. Health?

14:16What happened here, Chief?

14:20Randall Thornwald was murdered in full blood.

14:23Hey, Chief.

14:24Check this out.

14:26And there's two more.

14:28Defend and oppose?

14:31You don't think it's some whack job vigilante?

14:32You don't think it's a threat.

14:36Mere moments ago, a man now identified as 54-year-old Randall Thornwald,

14:41CEO of D.D. Health, has been shot dead using bullets labeled

14:45deny, defend and depose.

14:47Police are speculating that the assailant might be a vigilante.

14:53Whoever did this, enjoy your freedom.

14:57Because 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, fill in their Randall Thornwald, for all day lighted.

15:10My papa didn't give a fuck!

15:14Woo!

15:17I 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.

15:32Yes, Mr. Mayor, I know Randall Thornwald was a close personal friend.

15:42He was a god damn visionary.

15:44And we're doing everything we can to catch him.

15:46Find the psychopath and murder them, or you'll never work again.

15:49Sir, we'll squash this cocky fucker faster than you can-

15:54I'll call you back, Mr. Mayor.

15:58CCTV caught the perp biking into Central Park.

16:01Hit it.

16:02I 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.

16:22I have an email.

16:23Where could it-

16:47Could this be a clue?

16:51Lieutenant.

16:54I knew there would be sacrifices.

16:57I have to get out of here.

17:02This will keep him busy.

17:03Let's see how long it takes for them to fix that.

17:08Y'all already know my struggle.

17:09So when I heard Danai defend a-

17:11On the bullets?

17:12Like, and the knifing is wrong, but I am on the edge.

17:16DB health is corrupt.

17:17And karma's a bitch, hunty.

17:20So I'm rooting for Matteo.

17:23Excuse me, Officer.

17:26I just found this.

17:33Yeah, I was over there.

17:35You contaminated evidence, you idiot.

17:37My bad.

17:38Hey, Chief.

17:40We found the backpack.

17:41Get the fuck out of here.

17:53Give me that.

17:54There's a note.

18:11How much paper for a life?

18:13And you keep raising the price.

18:15Who gave them the right to choose?

18:18Time to adjust and pay their dues.

18:23Take 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.

18:42I won't be made a fool of.

18:44Have you seen this man?

19:10Tell us what you know, dickwad.

19:17Look, I don't see nothing.

19:18My insurance wouldn't cover new glasses, so we throw out these glasses.

19:22Everything's a big blur.

19:23Then get out of my face.

19:27This adjuster will pay with his life.

19:29People are rooting for this guy.

19:39Just shows how sick our society is.

19:41Okay, but the adjuster can get it done.

19:43He's too hot to collect.

19:45Some loser who wanted to be famous.

19:47All of this is pointless if they don't understand why I did it.

19:51But they will soon.

19:53Who gave them the right to choose?

19:56A justice, now or pay, or do!

20:18Shouting back at the system that tried to silence them.

20:21Who gave them the right to choose, a justice now or pain?

20:24Denying claims is inhumane! Denying claims is inhumane! Denying claims is inhumane!

20:29You should be ashamed of yourself. Harassing people at your age.

20:33I'm proud to fight for what's right, for what we all deserve.

20:36You're defending a murderer!

20:41Who or what? Look at you, shaking like a leaf. You'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?

20:53You better apologize, punk.

20:55Your wife's the one who should apologize.

20:56She stole something that doesn't belong to her.

20:58You loudmouth maggots are stealing our precious time.

21:03Leave! Before I make you go ahead and try.

21:13You shouldn't have done that wrong.

21:14Oh yeah? How about this?

21:18Do you realize you just assaulted the CEO of Purple Cross?

21:25I was defending myself. What you did, what you did to my friend Patty here, that was assault.

21:31Who's gonna believe some decrepit old woman and her rat-faced sidekick over a CEO and his wife?

21:37Everyone here? They all saw what happened.

21:40You 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 until 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. You're done taking that away?

22:09I'm done.

22:11Newsflash. The one who has the gold makes the rules, asshole.

22:14Aw, did no one tell you?

22:17This protest is pointless. You'll all stay poor and sick, begging for money you're never gonna get.

22:26Like diseased hamsters stuck in a broken wheel.

22:28It's how the world works. You can't do it without money.

22:31It's always about money.

22:33You're right. When money talks,

22:40people listen.

22:40Here's Emili's insurance money. They need it more than I do.

22:46Free medication.

22:50There's enough here for everyone, okay?

22:52Hey!

22:54There's over 200k in here.

22:56Either you stole this, or you're a drug dealer.

23:00Let's go out for a real nice dinner tonight, honey.

23:04Stealing from the sick once again. That's what you greedy CEOs do best, isn't it?

23:08Stealing. I'll bet half these leeching phlegm buckets owe me money.

23:16Pricks like you don't scatter me anymore.

23:18Yeah? How about the cops?

23:21They'll get me eventually. But not today.

23:25What makes you think you're so invincible? You'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.

23:38Who gave you the right to choose?

23:42Adjust things now, or pay your due?

23:44Who gave you the right to choose?

23:45Adjust things now, or pay your due?

23:55Who gave you the right to choose?

23:56I'm shutting this down!

23:58We're not going anywhere.

24:01We're not going anywhere.

24:02Who gave you the right to choose?

24:04Who gave you the right to choose?

24:06Who gave you the right to choose?

24:08Who gave you the right to choose?

24:10Cops aren't going to be enough.

24:12We need the mayor.

24:14Mayor Camden, there are violent protesters in front of DB Health intimidating pedestrians.

24:20Protesters, huh?

24:22Those chanting morons are a virus infecting the minds of our youth.

24:26I'll send more officers over.

24:30Their leader is the adjuster.

24:34I'll be there in five.

24:36It's for you.

24:38It's for you.

24:42Yeah, one more for you.

24:44Please.

24:46It's a miracle.

24:48But how?

24:50It's my sister's life insurance money.

24:52She'd want me to help people out while they still have a fighting chance.

24:56Consider an adjustment.

24:58Consider an adjustment.

25:00There he is!

25:02The adjuster!

25:04That's the mayor.

25:06Now you'll be sorry.

25:08Mayor Camden, he's here.

25:10This pathetic guy is the adjuster?

25:14The calculated terrorist who murdered my dear friend Randy!

25:18I can't let them take me in yet.

25:20My work isn't done.

25:26No.

25:27I am the adjuster.

25:29No.

25:30I'm the adjuster.

25:32It's me.

25:33I'm the adjuster.

25:34No, it's me.

25:35I'm the adjuster.

25:37No.

25:38Go.

25:39Now.

25:40Get him!

25:41Let's go.

25:42He's getting away!

25:45Get him!

25:46Get him!

25:47He's getting away!

25:48He's over there!

25:49Don't let him go!

25:50Don't let him go!

25:51Don't let him go!

25:58There!

25:59Get him!

26:00Get him!

26:01Get him!

26:02Get him!

26:03Get him!

26:04Get him!

26:05Get him!

26:06Not so clever after all!

26:20Hey, man.

26:21Hey, are you cold?

26:22Can you use the jacket?

26:23Right there.

26:24Right there.

26:25Right there.

26:26God bless you.

26:27Take care of it, man.

26:28Stay safe!

26:2926 year old Matteo Leone has been identified as the CEO shooter.

26:34Hey, God bless you.

26:42Take care of it, man. Stay safe.

26:4626-year-old Matteo Leone has been identified as the CEO shooter.

26:51A $10,000 reward is being offered for any info that comes into our office.

26:56My name is out there now, but I won't hide for much longer.

27:04I wish someone didn't have to die to make them listen.

27:13I wish I could hear my sisters laugh just one more time.

27:18But life isn't fair.

27:22I wish someone didn't have to die to make them listen.

27:26I wish I could hear my sisters laugh just one more time.

27:31But life isn't fair.

27:37Do you need some help?

27:39Do you mind?

27:40I don't mind.

27:41I have to put her on these walks so she can sleep.

27:43And then when she's asleep, I can never lift this up.

27:49Have a good night.

27:50Bye.

27:51The healthcare system has failed the people.

27:54And it needs to be taken down.

28:08This won't bring Amelia back.

28:13But it will save millions.

28:15I'm not a monster.

28:28Accountability is part of the plan.

28:38Have a good one.

28:40And I'm almost ready to take it.

28:42And I'm almost ready to take it.

29:10I can't run forever.

29:16One last thing to check off the list.

29:25Let me get a McCrazy with Oreo Space.

29:28It's fire.

29:30Can I have a bite?

29:32What?

29:33You want a bite?

29:34Yeah.

29:35If you pay for your own, I guess.

29:37Sure.

29:38Maybe.

29:39Okay, sure.

29:40Can I get two then?

29:44And you can keep the change.

29:48No fucking way.

29:53Hey.

29:55I got the car you're looking for.

29:57My time as a free man is ending.

30:00But are any of us really free?

30:05Come on.

30:10Come on, come on, come on.

30:12Come on, come on, come on, come on.

30:13Well, well, well.

30:15Matteo Leone.

30:17Please.

30:18Don't do anything stupid.

30:21Is there a problem, officers?

30:26You little shit.

30:28Chief.

30:29It's all here.

30:30You're under arrest, motherfucker.

30:41You have the right to remain silent.

30:43Go ahead and arrest me.

30:45The people are about to wake up.

30:51No 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?

31:05Matteo Leone is a cold-blooded killer who brutally murdered CEO Randall Thornwald.

31:11For his crimes, we are seeking the death penalty.

31:14How do you plead?

31:16They have it all wrong.

31:19Not guilty.

31:20Answer me, you shit-eating cockroach!

31:31Or should I pull the teeth out from your pretty little smile?

31:35Don't you realize you're gonna get the death penalty?

31:37Don't you realize nobody's free until everybody's free?

31:45Let him go, Chief!

31:47Let him go!

31:51Can't let this sad sack have all the fun.

31:53You think you're a hero?

32:00You're a terrorist.

32:03And I won't rest until you're on death row.

32:07And you're afraid of me because you can't stop what I started.

32:11You're losing control, Mayor Cameron.

32:12Is that what you think?

32:15Well, let's see what the streets have to say.

32:17Come on.

32:25After you, gentlemen.

32:26Hang in there, Mateo! We're all on your side! We're fighting you!

32:45You're going down!

32:50Great use of resources, guys.

32:51So talking.

32:52The system is designed to annihilate scum like you.

32:58Burn in hell, you filthy criminal.

33:01You'll fry in that chair.

33:03Are you scared of me, Mr. CEO?

33:04Scared?

33:05Where's your money now?

33:07You'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.

33:13Easy for you to say.

33:15Surrounded by cops in your bulletproof vests.

33:17Cowards!

33:19All of you!

33:20I could rip you apart!

33:22You're nothing but a filthy criminal.

33:30Powerless.

33:32Stupid.

33:34Pathetic.

33:36Back off!

33:37Let the court decide.

33:39Innocent is unproven guilty!

33:42Innocent is unproven guilty!

33:43Innocent is unproven guilty!

33:45Innocent is unproven guilty!

33:46It's completely unjust!

33:48It's an insult to the intelligence of the American people,

33:53It's an insult to the American people and their lived experience.

33:59They 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.

34:16No one can protect you in here.

34:21Let's see how long you last.

34:23Maybe 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?

34:49Matteo Leone.

34:51Oh, shit.

34:57You to your jester.

35:04Dixon, you see the brothers in here, they're gonna test you and they're gonna fuck with you.

35:08But they gotta get through us first.

35:11And my man Terrence over here is gonna get you cleaned up.

35:14Yo, T.

35:14Clean this man up.

35:16Take a seat, bro.

35:17The denial letter came a week after we buried her.

35:29I'm so sorry that happened.

35:32And what you did made a lot of guys in here feel a lot better.

35:37Just feel less hopeless.

35:40There'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.

36:06Corrupt 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.

36:17The vibes are giving pressure cooker.

36:20Get her, get her.

36:32Woo!

36:38Move me in, move me in!

36:44Move me in!

36:45Move me in!

36:47Move me in!

36:48The 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.

37:18Ladies 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 murder of a loving family man.

37:48A successful, visionary CEO worth billions.

37:52Who purposely profited 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, you know.

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.

38:34Thank you, Mayor Camden.

38:38For my final witness, I call Brady Thornwald, Randall Thornwald's son.

38:44Brady, how has the death of your father, your hero, affected you?

39:05Will this kid be the nail in my coffin?

39:11My father's not my hero.

39:17Uh, you mean?

39:19I mean, I was incredibly devastated when that cold-blooded killer took 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 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.

42:09I 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.

42:18I 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.

42:27So he died.

42:29Appealed.

42:30But 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

42:52predatory 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.

43:28This isn't a circus!

43:30Order in the court!

43:31Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?

43:42If you swear to listen?

43:48I swear to tell the truth.

43:49Mr. 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!

44:09This is new evidence not found in...

44:10Sit down, Counselor.

44:11Go ahead.

44:11Thanks for being here.

44:12While I still have a voice, I want to tell you why.

44:26This is Amelia, my nine-year-old sister.

44:32She was just a baby when our parents died, and it's been the two of us against the world

44:39ever since.

44:39The 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.

44:53So I appealed.

44:54I was optimistic.

44:55Look, I 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.

45:06And then DB Health denied her appeal.

45:11I did everything I could to fight back.

45:15I even pleaded with the CEO himself to save her life.

45:20He told me it was nothing personal.

45:23It's just the business of keeping people sick.

45:27And then he smiled.

45:31Amelia died.

45:36And I found out our story is very, very common.

45:42I'm talking mass corruption leading to massive amounts of lives ruined.

45:49Hundreds of thousands of lives ruined.

45:52All to fill their pockets.

45:54But we're bigger than them.

45:57All right, we're bigger than them.

45:59If we stand up together, who's with me?

46:06All right, we're bigger than them.

46:12The defense rests.

46:19Nothing more to do but wait.

46:22After thorough consideration,

46:25Purple 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.

46:41We, the jury, find Matteo Leone.

46:50Dear Tracy, your letter made me tear up.

46:53I am so sorry you and your daughter had to go through such senseless pain.

46:57No one should have to experience that kind of systemic failure.

47:00You are an inspiration and your daughter is lucky to have a mother who didn't back down.

47:05All my best, Matteo Leone.

47:17Death or life in prison, at least I said my piece.

47:30Death or life in prison.

47:43Death or life in prison.

47:49Death or life in prison.
