00:01CEO of DB Health has been shot dead.
00:04Matteo Leone has been identified as a shooter.
00:07This is for you, Amelia.
00:10My nine-year-old sister.
00:13Your insurance is not her 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.
00:32Matteo Leone.
00:34Go ahead and arrest me.
00:35The people are about to wake up.
00:37Who has the right to choose?
00:39Adjust things 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...
00:56Do you know what it's like to watch someone you love endure constant senseless pain?
01:13Of course you don't.
01:15You're incapable of empathy.
01:18I tried to do it the right way.
01:24But you made it impossible.
01:27And now I understand suffering.
01:32All I feel is rage in my chest.
01:37I live with a hole in my heart.
01:46And soon you will too.
01:51This is for you, sis.
01:54This is for all of us.
01:56This is for all of us.
01:59Her chemotherapy is supposed to start today.
02:01Please, please, just check one more time.
02:03You should calm down.
02:04I will check one more time for you, okay?
02:06Okay.
02:07Your insurance did not her claim.
02:08The treatment is canceled.
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.
02:31You will die.
02:33I've done all that I can.
02:35Still got a problem?
02:36You can appeal or take it up with the CEO of your insurance company.
02:51I have to appeal.
02:53Or Amelia's gonna die.
02:59Dale, I don't feel...
03:01What?
03:06I still believe someone up there might listen.
03:21They denied the appeal?
03:31No.
03:32No, I don't want to die.
03:33I don't want to die.
03:34I have a tail.
03:35It's okay, Amelia.
03:36You're okay.
03:37You're okay.
03:38You're gonna be okay.
03:39Someone help.
03:40Someone help.
03:41Doctor, hello?
03:43Please.
03:44She's all I have left.
03:45Please, someone save her.
03:52Your sister's leukemia has spread.
03:54And I gave her an emergency stem cell transplant.
03:56But without continuing the treatment,
03:58she has no chance.
04:21I'm done.
04:22I'm down with these money-hungered assholes.
04:28Gonna cover my sister's treatment or I'll...
04:31Insurance troubles?
04:35TB Health is killing my little sister.
04:38She's on nine.
04:39Evil snakes.
04:41My husband's gone because they denied every last claim.
04:45It would have been his sixth and third birthday today.
04:48They 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.
05:12Those 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.
05:19We've got to fight back.
05:31If I could just meet him face to face.
05:34If I could just tell him...
05:36Check your hands there.
05:37I'm gonna show you right now.
05:38Alright, you know the drill.
05:40Bound your horses, boys.
05:41I'll take a hundred K and the crib keeper's wife over there.
05:45She won't last a week.
05:47I'm gonna get two hundred thousand on the cancer, kid.
05:50These little coffins are so cute.
05:54Don't you talk about my sister?
05:57Don't you talk about my sister?
05:59You asshole.
06:00You go apologize to her right now.
06:02Make me.
06:04What do you want, dipshit?
06:05Mr. Thornwald, you're coming to deny my sister's leukemia treatment.
06:07I want you to do the right thing.
06:09Save her life!
06:10You come near me again, you're gonna be very sorry.
06:13It's you who will be sorry.
06:14If you won't hear me out, I'll make you.
06:37Hey.
06:51Who are you?
06:53Stop! Get back here!
06:55Security! Catch him!
07:07The fuck is this?
07:12You underestimated me.
07:14You underestimated me.
07:17I'm sorry, who are you?
07:19The guy who sits there you're slowly killing!
07:22He's only nine years old!
07:24She has her whole life ahead of her!
07:27You want a bottle cry, baby?
07:29You think I give a fuck about some snotty kid's wasted potential?
07:33He was denied, so 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!
07:44When the world finds out what you've done to children,
07:47how many people your business has killed!
07:49Phil, what?
07:51Nobody's gonna listen to you.
07:56You're not even a pimple on my ass.
07:58You shouldn't have done that!
07:59You shouldn't have done that!
08:00You shouldn't have done that!
08:03You shouldn't have done that!
08:04You shouldn't have done that!
08:05You shouldn't have done that!
08:08You shouldn't have done that!
08:09You shouldn't have done that!
08:10You shouldn't have done that!
08:16You shouldn't have done that!
08:17You shouldn't have done that!
08:24Gallons of blood on your hands, but soon yours will be on mine.
08:27Don't give up Amelia!
08:29Keep fighting!
08:30I'll find another way!
08:32I'll find another way!
08:45What?
08:46No!
08:47Keep this!
08:49So, Mom and Daddy, you love them?
08:55No!
08:56No!
08:57Amelia!
08:58No!
08:59Amelia!
09:00I 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.
09:30Almost enough to pay for the treatment that would have saved your life.
09:46A sick joke.
09:47How naive to trust the system.
09:48To believe that a rich health insurance CEO would actually care about people.
10:00It's unjust.
10:01I'm done being a pawn.
10:02You think you're untouchable.
10:16You hide behind your billions while the rest of us fight for scraps.
10:20But all that's gonna change.
10:21Because you're not a god.
10:22When my bullet hits you, you'll bleed.
10:35You're the only one who dies out of my heart.
10:36But it's not a good one.
10:37I'm a god.
10:38It's not a bad one.
10:39You wanna be a people?
10:40I'm not a bad one.
10:41Let me see.
10:42I can't believe in one of myạn soldiers.
10:43I can't believe in one of my nightmares.
10:44I had to want you to use this one at first.
10:45I'm not a bad one.
10:46I had to get away.
10:48I have to give you the best.
10:49I'm a bad one.
10:51I'm not a bad one.
10:52I tried.
10:54I try to get away.
10:55I'm a bad one.
10:56I'm so bad.
10:57Never?
10:58I'm a bad one.
10:59I'm a bad one.
11:00I saw her.
11:01Ya'm a bad one.
11:02She'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.
11:26Do you have a reservation?
11:33Mario Vanchotti.
11:35Why so serious, Batman?
11:40If only she knew.
11:44So, Mario.
11:49Are you here for business or...
11:54Pleasure.
11:56...
12:03Off to work.
12:04Off to school.
12:06Just an ordinary day.
12:13We should be celebrating.
12:15But you're gone.
12:16And now everything is about to change.
12:26Remember me, Mr. Thornwald?
12:35Get out of my way, scum.
12:45Get out of my way, scum.
12:46You'll never deny anyone else ever again.
12:55Get out of my way, scum.
12:56You'll never deny anyone else ever again.
13:05You'll never have to do it.
13:06You're not going to be able to do it.
13:07You'll never have to do it.
13:08But you're not going to be able to do it.
13:09No, run!
13:10No, run!
13:11Now run!
13:37I thought I'd regret it.
13:41But this feels like justice.
13:51Now time for phase two.
14:05Chief, it's over here.
14:06Let's go.
14:12Who would murder the CEO of DV Health?
14:16What happened here, Chief?
14:20Randall Thornwald was murdered in cold blood.
14:23Hey, Chief. Check this out.
14:26And there's two more.
14:28Defend and oppose?
14:30You don't think it's some whack job vigilante?
14:35Mere moments ago, a man now identified as 54-year-old Randall Thornall, CEO of DV Health, has been shot dead using bullets labeled deny, defend and depose.
14:48Police are speculating that the assailant might be a vigilante.
14:50Whoever 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 won a life in a Randall Thornwald.
15:10My poppin, give a fuck!
15:12Imagine!
15:13You never moved!
15:14Woo!
15:18I did this so others won't die like my sister did.
15:22But what would she think of me now?
15:32I have to go back.
15:33Yes, 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 that murdered him, 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.
15:58CCTV caught the perp biking into Central Park.
16:01Hit 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.
16:22I have an email.
16:31Where could it...
16:47Could this be a clue?
16:51Lieutenant.
16:53I knew there would be sacrifices.
16:58I 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 a...
17:11On the bullet.

24:13Mayor Camden, there are violent protesters in front of DB Health intimidating pedestrians.
24:19Protesters, huh? Those chanting morons are a virus infecting the minds of our youth.
24:26I'll send more officers over.
24:28Mr. Mayor, their leader is the adjuster.
24:33I'll be there in five.
24:35It's for you. It's for you.
24:41Yeah, one more for you. Please.
24:44It's a miracle.
24:48But how?
24:50It's my sister's life insurance money.
24:53She'd want me to help people out while they still have a fighting chance.
24:57Consider an adjustment.
25:00There he is! The adjuster!
25:04That's the mayor. Now you'll be sorry.
25:07Mayor Camden, he's here.
25:10This pathetic guy is the adjuster?
25:13The calculated terrorist who murdered my dear friend Randy!
25:17I can't let them take me in yet. My work isn't done.
25:22No. I am the adjuster.
25:28No. I'm the adjuster.
25:31It's me. I'm the adjuster.
25:33No, it's me. I'm the adjuster.
25:37Go! Now!
25:39Get him! Let's go! He's getting away!
25:43He's over there!
25:44My name's Luke.

26:27Hey, you cool?
26:29Can you use the jacket?
26:31Hey, I got you.
26:35Here.
26:35God bless you.
26:42Take care of it, man.
26:44Stay 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.
26:59I wish someone didn't have to die to make them listen.
27:26Listen, I 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?
27:40I don't mind.
27:41I have to put her on these walks so she can sleep, and then when she's asleep, I can never lift this up.
27:47Have a good night.
27:50Bye.
27:50The health care system has failed the people, and it needs to be taken down.
28:07This won't bring Amelia back.
28:09But it will save millions.
28:26I'm not a monster.
28:28Accountability is part of the plan.
28:30Have a good one.
28:39And I'm almost ready to take it.
28:42I don't know.
29:12I can't run forever.
29:18One last thing to check off the list.
29:25Let me get a McCrazy with Oreo spice.
29:29It'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, sure.
29:38Maybe, okay, sure.
29:39Can I get two then?
29:40And, uh, you can keep the change.
29:48No fucking way.
29:53Hey.
29:55I got the guy you're looking for.
29:57My time as a free man is ending.
30:00But are any of us really free?
30:09Come on, come on, come on.
30:11Come on, come on, come on, come on.
30:13Well, well, well.
30:16Matteo Leone.
30:17Please, don't do anything stupid.
30:19Is there a problem, officers?
30:26You little shit.
30:28Chief, it's all here.
30:33You're under arrest, motherfucker.
30:34You have the right to remain silent.
30:43Go ahead and arrest me.
30:45The people are about to wake up.
30:51No way.
30:52If 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
31:07who 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.
31:25Answer me, you shit-eating cockroach!
31:28Or should I pull the teeth out
31:32from your pretty little smile?
31:36Don't you realize you're gonna get the death penalty?
31:38I don't realize nobody's free
31:39until 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?
32:01You're a terrorist.
32:03And I won't rest
32:04until you're on death row.
32:07And you're afraid of me
32:08because you can't stop what I started.
32:11You're losing control, Mayor Cameron.
32:13Is that what you think?
32:15Well, let's see what the streets have to say.
32:17After you, gentlemen.
32:38Hang in there, Mateo.
32:39We're all on your side.
32:40We're fighting you.
32:41You're going down.
32:46Great use of resources, guys.
32:51No talking.
32:53The system is designed
32:54to annihilate scum like you.
32:58Burn in hell, you filthy criminal.
33:01You'll fry in that chair.
33:03You 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
33:16and your bulletproof vests.
33:18Cowards!
33:19All of you!
33:20I could rip you apart!
33:27You're nothing but a filthy criminal.
33:31Powerless.
33:31Stupid.
33:34Pathetic.
33:35You're no one.
33:36Back off.
33:37Let the court decide.
33:38Innocent is not proven guilty.
33:41Innocent is not proven guilty.
33:43Innocent is not proven guilty.
33:45Innocent is not proven guilty.
33:46It's completely unjust.
33:48It's an insult to the intelligence of the American people
33:50and their lived experience.
33:51It's an insult to the American people
33:57and their lived experience.
33:58They can yell all they want
33:59but they can't keep you from rotting in jail.
34:02Come on.
34:04Hear me!
34:06See you in court.
34:13No one can protect you in here.

35:11is gonna get you cleaned up.
35:13Yo, T, clean this man up.
35:15Take a seat, bro.

35:26a week after we buried her.
35:30I'm so sorry that happened.
35:32And what you did
35:33made a lot of guys in here
35:34feel a lot better.

36:52Enjoy it while it lasts.
36:54Our case is airtight.
36:56After this, nothing but prison and death
36:58for a sadistic monster like you.
37:00We'll see about that.
37:02Talk to my client again,
37:04and I'll have you disbarred.
37:06I'll see you in court.
37:08All right, I'll...
37:19Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
37:34Matteo Leone viciously targeted Randall Thornwald.
37:39Rather than grieve with dignity
37:41when his sister died of cancer,
37:43he cruelly premeditated the murder
37:45of a loving family man,
37:47a successful visionary CEO worth billions.
37:51Who purposely profited off of people's pain.
37:57These witnesses will paint a picture
37:59of just how dangerous Matteo Leone is.
38:08He could have saved his sister,
38:10but he was too broke to pay.
38:12He had motive.
38:13He was aggressive from the start.
38:15He's a bully.
38:16He pushed me and threatened my husband.
38:20He wanted them to suffer.
38:22That's not true.
38:23He thought he was so smart with all his messages.
38:26Mr. Leone is entitled, manipulable,
38:30and frankly, psychotic.
38:35Thank you, Mayor Camden.
38:37For my final witness I call Brady Thornwald,
38:41Randall Thornwald's son.
38:43Brady, how has the death of your father, your hero, affected you?
38:47Will this kid be the nail in my coffin?
38:48My father's not my hero.
38:49He's not my hero.
38:50He's not my hero.
38:51He's not my hero.
38:52He's not my hero.
38:53He's not my hero.
38:54He's not my hero.
38:55He's not my hero.
38:56He's not my hero.
38:57Brady, how has the death of your father, your hero, affected you?
39:01Will this kid be the nail in my coffin?
39:06My father's not my hero.
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.
39:34You know what? Fuck that.
39:36My dad enjoyed hurting people.
39:38His entire vision as CEO was built on keeping people sick.
39:42And I'm not just gonna sit here and lie because some company paid me to.
39:45You disrespect your own father.
39:48After everything he did for you?
39:50You know what? Lock me up.
39:51I-I don't care.
39:52Objection!
39:53He can't just-
39:54I mean, sit down.
39:55You're nothing lower than suing sludge.
39:57Mr. Mayor, first, you treat him like some kind of sue event.
40:02Order!
40:03Mayor Camden, one more word and you'll be held in contempt.
40:11Yeah, yeah.
40:12No further questions.
40:15Based on the evidence provided, Matteo Leone undoubtedly is guilty of murder in the first degree.
40:23Prosecution rests.
40:27Ms. Weinhardt?
40:32Judge O'Shine, people of the jury.
40:35As the prosecution detailed, my client, Matteo Leone, shot and killed the CEO of DB Health.
40:42Randall Thornwall, dead.
40:51Someone had to do it.
40:54That's right.
40:55My client does not deny killing Mr. Thornwall.
40:58What he does deny, it was unwarranted.
41:02Mr. Leone had to act drastically to save lives.
41:06And today, we're here to defend his right so he can defend himself and others from becoming victims of a murderous corporation.
41:23Order!
41:25I call Patty Sinclair to the stand.
41:27Please, tell us what happened to your husband.
41:45Clay and I, we just found out that we were going to be grandparents.
41:50Then one night, Clay had a heart attack.
41:55A doctor prescribed a treatment plan, but DB Health said no, not medically necessary.
42:02It 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.
42:12It 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 surgery to cure my pain for good.
42:22We went bankrupt, and now we're homeless.
42:24He couldn't afford it.
42:25So he died.
42:27Appealed.
42:29But now she's paralyzed.
42:39If DB Health had approved my husband's surgery, he would still be alive.
42:43This young man, Mateo, saw how so many of us were being taken advantage of by DB Health's predatory business.
42:53And he did what no one else had the courage or actually the balls to do.
43:00He stood up.
43:01He stood up.
43:07I couldn't have said it any better.
43:11Your Honor, I call Mr. Mateo Leoti to stand.
43:15This isn't a circus.
43:29Order in the court.
43:34Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?
43:36If you swear to listen?
43:37I swear to tell the truth.
43:39Mr. Leone, what drove you to kill the CEO of DB Health?
43:42Your Honor, it'll be better if I show you.
43:43Oh, objection!
43:44This is new evidence not found to be...
43:45Sit down, Counselor.
43:47Go ahead.
43:48I swear to tell the truth.
43:52Mr. Leone, what drove you to kill the CEO of DB Health?
44:04Your Honor, it'll be better if I show you.
44:07Objection!
44:08This is new evidence not found to be...
44:09Sit down, Counselor.
44:12Go ahead.
44:16Thanks for being here, while I still have a voice, I want to tell you why.
44:28This is Amelia, my nine-year-old sister.
44:33She was just a baby when our parents died, and it's been the two of us against the world
44:38ever since.
44:40The doctor said she could beat leukemia if she started treatment right away.
44:45But 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.
44:53I 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.
45:07And then DB Health denied her appeal.
45:12I 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 was just the business of keeping people sick.
45:27And then he smiled.
45:34Amelia 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.
45:51All to fill their pockets.
45:54But we're bigger than them.
45:57All right?
45:58We're bigger than them.
45:59If we stand up together, who's with me?
46:04Go!
46:05Go!
46:06Go!
46:07Go!
46:08Go!
46:09Go!
46:10Go!
46:11Go!
46:12Go!
46:13Go!
46:14Go!
46:15Go!

46:19Go!
46:20Go!
46:21Go!
46:22Go!
46:23Go!
46:24Go!
46:25Purple-Cross Health will discontinue our limited anesthesia policy.
46:29Our company will end its wait and see policy beginning at the first of the month.
46:34We will be halting our lottery policy effectively...
46:36Whatever happens today, you did this.
46:46We the jury find Matteo Leone.
46:49Dear Tracy,
46:51Your letter made me tear up.
46:52I 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.
47:17Death or life in prison.
47:19At least I said my piece.
