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!
10:15No!
10:16No!
10:17No!
10:22No!
10:23No!
10:24But all that's going to change, because you're not a god.
10:30When my bullet hits you, you'll bleed.
10:54You 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.
11:43So, Mario, are you here for business, or...?
11:54No, sure.
11:55Off to work, off to school.
12:06Just an ordinary day.
12:09We should be celebrating, but you're gone, and now everything is about to change.
12:26Remember me, Mr. Thornwald?
12:27Get out of my way, scum.
12:33Get out of my way, scum.
12:46You'll never deny anyone else ever again.
12:59You'll never deny anyone else ever again.
13:12Now run!
13:13I thought I'd regret it.
13:29But this feels like justice.
13:30Now time for phase two.
13:44Chief, it's over here.
13:45Let's go.
13:46Let's go.
13:47Who would murder the CEO of DV Health?
13:49What happened here, Chief?
13:50What happened here, Chief?
13:51Randall Thornwald?
13:52Randall Thornwald?
13:53What happened here, Chief?
13:54Randall Thornwald?
13:55What happened here, Chief?
13:56Phil?
13:57Randall Thornwald?
13:58Randall Thornwald.
13:59Hey, Chief.
14:00Check this out.
14:01Hey, Chief!
14:02Check this out.
14:03Hey, Chief.
14:04Hey.
14:05Hey, Chief.
14:06Hey, Chief, check this out.
14:07You have to read the author.
14:08What happened here, Chief?
14:09This is a sign of the author.
14:10Let's go.
14:11Let's go.
14:12Who would murder the CEO of DV Health?
14:15What happened here, Chief?
14:18Randall 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,
14:40CEO of DB Health, has been shot dead using bullets labeled
14:45Deny, Defend and Depose.
14:47Police are speculating that the assailant might be a vigilante.
14:53If you ever did this, enjoy your freedom.
14:56Because 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.
15:07The shooter will run a life in a Randall Thornwall.
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?
15:31I have to go back!
15:39Yes, Mr. Mayor, I know Randall Thornwald was a close personal friend.
15:42He was a goddamn visionary!
15:44And we're doing everything we can to catch him.
15:46Find the psychopath that murdered him, or you'll never work again!
15:49Sir, we'll squash this cocky fucker faster than you can...
15:52I'll call you back, Mr. Mayor.
15:54CCTV caught the perp biking into Central Park.
16:00Hit it!
16:01I shouldn't have come back, but I can't let this go!
16:06Over there!
16:07They're faster than I thought!
16:08Search the area.
16:09I have an email.
16:11Where could it...
16:12Where could it...
16:17Where could it...
16:18Where could it...
16:27Could this be a clue?
16:28Lieutenant.
16:29I knew there would be sacrifices.
16:30I knew there would be sacrifices.
16:31Where could it...
16:32Where could it...
16:33Where could it...
16:34Could this be a clue?
16:48I have to get out of here.
16:49This will keep him busy.
16:50Let's see how long it takes for them to fix that.
16:55Y'all already know my struggle.
16:56So when I heard Danai defend a...
16:57On the bullet?
16:58Like, and the knifing is wrong, but I am on the edge.
17:01DB health is corrupt.
17:03And karma is a bitch, hunty.
17:04So I'm rooting for Mateo.
17:05Excuse me, officer.
17:06I just found this.
17:07I just found this.
17:08I just found this.
17:09I just found this.
17:33Yeah, it was over there.
17:34You contaminated evidence, you idiot.
17:37My bad.
17:38Hey, chief.
17:39We found the backpack.
17:48Get the fuck out of here.
17:53Gimme that.
18:03There's a note.
18:10How 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.
18:26The plot is thickening.
18:28And I think our vigilante has just earned his nickname.
18:31The Adjuster.

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

19:24Then get out of my face.
19:27This Adjuster will pay with his life.
19:39People are rooting for this guy just shows how sick our society is.
19:42Okay, but the Adjuster can get it done.
19:44It's too hot to commit.
19:45It's some loser who wanted to be famous.
19:46All of this is pointless if they don't understand why I did it.
19:51But they will soon.
19:53Claims deceive you made.
19:54To deny a claim to deceive you made.
19:55Denying claims to deceive you made.

26:4526-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.
27:49Have a good night.
27:50Bye.
27:51The health care system has failed the people, and it needs to be taken down.
27:57This won't bring Amelia back.
28:13But it will save millions.
28:15I'm not a monster.
28:29Accountability is part of the plan.
28:30Have a good one.
28:39Have a good one.
28:41And I'm almost ready to take it.
28:43And if you're at it, I'm only going to join her.
28:52Please help me.
28:54I'm sorry.
28:59Yes, please don't want to help me!
29:01I'm sorry you lost my heart.
29:06Never beat me.
29:09Anyone to Jamaican?
29:10Sasha Rowan?
29:11Anyway, he's working.
29:13I can't run forever.
29:19One last thing to check off the list.
29:25Let 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.
29:36If you pay for your own, I guess, sure.
29:39Maybe, okay, sure.
29:40Can I get two then?
29:43And, 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?
30:10Come 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.
30:21Is there a problem, officers?
30:26You little shit.
30:28Chief, it's all here.
30:33You're under arrest, motherfucker.
30:35Okay.
30:35Okay.
30:35Okay.
30:35Okay.
30:35Okay.

30:40Okay.
30:41You have the right to remain silent.
30:43Go ahead and arrest me.
30:44The 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 who brutally murdered CEO Randall Thornwald.
31:11For his crimes, we are seeking the death penalty.
31:14How do you plead?
31:15How do you plead?
31:16They have it all wrong.
31:18I'm not guilty.
31:26Answer me, you shit-eating cockroach!
31:31Or should I pull the teeth out from your pretty little smile?
31:35No.
31:36Don't you realize you're gonna get the death penalty?
31:37Don't you realize nobody's free until everybody's free?
31:40Let him go, chief!
31:42Let him go!
31:43Let him go!
31:44Let him go!
31:44Can't let this sad sack have all the fun.
31:45Oh.
31:46Let him go, Chief!
31:48Let him go!
31:50Can't let this sad sack have all the fun.
31:58You think you're a hero?
32:02You're a terrorist.
32:04And 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.
32:14Is that what you think?
32:16Well, let's see what the streets have to say, huh?
32:18No.
32:24After you, gentlemen.
32:38Hang in there, Mateo. We're all on your side.
32:40You're going down.
32:50Great use of resources, guys.
32:52So talking.
32:54The system is designed to annihilate scum like you.
32:58Burn in hell, you filthy criminal.
33:00You filthy criminal.
33:02You'll fry in that chair.
33:04You scared of me, Mr. CEO?
33:06Scared? Where's your money now?
33:08You're empty threats.
33:10You think you're some sort of superhero?
33:12You're shit on the bottom of a shoe.
33:14What is it for you to say?
33:16Surrounded by cops in your bulletproof vests?
33:18Cowards!
33:20All of you! I could rip you apart!
33:22You're nothing but a filthy criminal.
33:30Powerless.
33:32Stupid. Pathetic.
33:34You're no one.
33:36Back off. Let the court decide.
33:38Innocent is unproven guilty.
33:40Innocent is unproven guilty.
33:42Innocent is unproven guilty.
33:44Innocent is unproven guilty.
33:46Innocent is unproven guilty.
33:48It's an insult to the intelligence of the American people
33:50and their lived experience.
33:55It's an insult to the American people
33:57and their lived experience.
33:58They can yell all they want,
34:00but they can't keep you from rotting in jail.
34:02Come on.
34:04Hear me.
34:06See you in court.
34:07Innocent is unproven guilty.
34:08Innocent is unproven guilty.
34:10Innocent is unproven guilty.
34:12Innocent is unproven guilty.
34:13Innocent is unproven guilty.
34:16No one can protect you in here.
34:21Let's see how long you last.
34:27Maybe I deserve everything that's coming to me.
34:32You're in here for a princess?
34:34What's your name, boy?
34:37Better start answering me, son,
34:38before I fuck you up, boy.
34:41I'm gonna fuck you up so bad
34:42they ain't gonna be able to recognize you
34:43when I'm fucking through.
34:44Now what's your fucking name, boy?
34:49Matteo Leone.
34:55Oh, shit.
34:56You're the adjuster.
35:03Dixon, you see the brothers in here,
35:05they're all gonna test you,
35:06and they're gonna fuck with you.
35:08But they gotta get through us first.
35:10And my man Terrence over here
35:11is gonna get you cleaned up.
35:13Yo, T, clean this man up.
35:15Take a seat, bro.
35:16Take a seat, bro.
35:25The denial letter came a week after we buried her.
35:31I'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.
35:43There's no going back.
35:45I'll fight to the death.
35:47Janet here, but the man of the hour hasn't shown yet.
35:51If you didn't know, today is the first day of the trial of the century.
35:57The 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.
36:17The vibes are giving pressure cooker.
36:19The vibes are giving pressure cooker.
36:50The people are waking up.
36:52Enjoy it while it lasts.
36:54Our case is airtight.
36:56After this, nothing but prison and death for a sadistic monster like you.
37:01We'll see about that.
37:03Talk to my client again?
37:05And I'll have you disbarred.
37:07I'll see you in court.
37:08All right.
37:19Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, Matteo 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.
37:47A successful visionary CEO worth billions.
37:52Who purposely profited off of people's pain.
37:57These 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.
38:15He's a bully.
38:17He 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.
38:33Thank you, Mayor Camden.
38:38For my final witness, I call Brady Thornwald, Randall Thornwald's son.
38:43Brady, how has the death of your father, your hero, affected you?
38:52Will this kid be the nail in my coffin?
38:53My father's not my hero.
39:02Hero affected you will this kid be the nail in my coffin
39:12My father's not my hero
39:18You mean I mean I was incredibly devastated
39:24when that cold-blooded killer took my father's
39:31life away from me
39:35You know what fuck that my dad enjoyed hurting people his entire
39:40Vision as CEO was built on keeping people sick
39:43And I'm not just gonna sit here and lie because some company paid me to you
39:47Disrespect your own father after everything he did for you. You know what lock me up
39:52I don't care. Objection. He can't just sit down. You're nothing lower than suing slut. Mr. Mayor
39:58First you treat him like some kind of sue event
40:02Order
40:07Mayor Camden one more word and you'll be held in contempt
40:11Yeah
40:13No further questions
40:16Based on the evidence
40:18Provided
40:20Matteo Leone undoubtedly is guilty of murder in the first degree
40:25Prosecution rests
40:28Ms. Weinhardt
40:32Judge will shine
40:34People to jury
40:36As the prosecution detailed my client Matteo Leone shot and killed the CEO of DB health
40:45Randall Thornwall dead
40:53Someone had to do it
40:55That's right my client does not deny killing Mr. Thornwall what he does deny it was unwarranted
41:01Mr. Leone had to act drastically to save lives and today we're here to defend his right
41:10So he can defend himself and others from becoming victims of a murderous corporation
41:24Order
41:25I call Patty Sinclair to the stand
41:27I call Patty Sinclair to the stand
41:41Please 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
41:54Clay 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
42:06So we appealed but
42:08All of our claims were denied
42:10I was denied a walking boot from 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
42:19But denied the surgery to cure my pain for good
42:23We went bankrupt and now we're homeless
42:25He couldn'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
42:44This young man, Mateo, saw how so many of us were being taken advantage of by DB health predatory business
42:49And he did what no one else had the courage or actually the balls to do
43:01He stood up
43:06Thank you
43:08I couldn't have said it any better
43:10Thank you
43:12Your Honor, I call Mr. Matteo Leoti to stand
43:28This isn't a circus!
43:30Order in the court!
43:35Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?
43:38If you swear to listen
43:44I swear to tell the truth
43:50Mr. Leone, what drove you to kill the CEO of DB health?
43:57Your Honor, it'll be better if I show you
44:07Objection! This is new evidence not found
44:10Sit down counselor
44:12Go ahead
44:13Go ahead
44:21Thanks for being here
44:23While I still have a voice
44:25I want to tell you why
44:29This is Amelia
44:31My 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
44:39The 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
44:54I was optimistic
44:56I didn't know that there are almost 200,000 health insurance related deaths per year
45:01As we waited for a response
45:02I watched my amazing little sister get sicker
45:07And 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
45:24It's just the business of keeping people sick
45:26And then he smiled
45:28Amelia died
45:30And I found out our stories
45:32Very, very common
45:34I'm talking mass corruption
45:36Leading to massive amounts of lives ruined
45:38Hundreds of thousands of lives ruined
45:40All to fill their pockets
45:42I'm talking mass corruption
45:45Leading to massive amounts of lives ruined
45:47Hundreds of thousands of lives ruined
45:49All to fill their pockets
45:51But we're bigger than them
45:54All right, we're bigger than them
45:56If we stand up together
45:58Who's with me?
46:00The defense rests
46:03The defense rests
46:04Nothing more to do but wait
46:19After thorough consideration
46:21Purple Cross Health will discontinue our limited anesthesia policy
46:26Our company will end its wait and see policy beginning at the first of the month
46:29We'll be halting our lottery policy effectively
46:32Whatever happens today
46:34You did this
46:36We the jury find Matteo Leone
46:39Dear Tracy
46:41Your letter made me tear up
46:42I am so sorry you and your daughter had to go through such senseless pain
46:45No one should have to experience that kind of system in the past
46:47You 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
47:20At least I said my piece
47:47At least I was like
47:49At least I was going to say
47:51But I would go through such a few people
47:53The first time I woke up
47:55I took my time out
47:57To try to do such a new life
47:59To try to take something out of the world
48:01And then I add something
48:03Let's see if my daughter came in the past
48:05I remember my daughter came out
48:07To try to do such a new life
48:09I was born to be a new baby
48:11I made my daughter's father
48:13I ate a new wife
48:15Who became the mother's father
