The Adjuster
Transcript
00:00Do you know what it's like to watch someone you love endure constant senseless pain?
00:13Of course you don't.
00:15You're incapable of empathy.
00:21I tried to do it the right way, but you made it impossible.
00:30And now, I understand suffering.
00:34All I feel is rage in my chest.
00:43I live with a hole in my heart.
00:49And soon you will too.
00:52This is for you, sis.
00:55This is for all of us.
00:56Her chemotherapy is supposed to start today.
01:01Please, please, just check one more time.
01:03And when you should calm down, I will check one more time for you, okay?
01:05Okay.
01:06Your insurance did not her claim.
01:08Treatment is canceled.
01:12Canceled?
01:13What?
01:17So you're telling me there's nothing we can do?
01:19You want to continue treatment?
01:21Then pay out of pocket.
01:22Okay.
01:26You will die.
01:32I've done all that I can.
01:34You still got a problem?
01:36You can appeal or take it up with the CEO of your insurance company.
01:40I have to appeal or Amelia is going to die.
01:58Say, I don't feel...
02:00What?
02:01What?
02:05I still believe that someone up there might listen.
02:08They denied the appeal?
02:31No.
02:32No, I don't want to die.
02:33I don't want to die.
02:34I have a tail.
02:34You're okay.
02:35You're okay.
02:35You're okay.
02:36Someone help.
02:37Someone help.
02:39Doctor, hello?
02:42Please.
02:43She's all I have left.
02:44Please, someone save her.
02:52Your sister's leukemia has spread, and I gave her an emergency stem cell transplant.
02:56But without continuing the treatment, she has no chance.
02:59I'm done going down to these money-hunger assholes.
03:21I'm done going down to these money-hunger assholes.
03:23I've got to cover my sister's treatment, or I'll...
03:29Insurance troubles?
03:34DB Health is killing my little sister.
03:37She's only nine.
03:38Evil snakes.
03:39My husband's gone because they denied every last claim.
03:44It would have been his sixth and third birthday today.
03:48They were his favorite.
03:50Now I can't have one in his honor because DB Health wouldn't cover my tremor medications
03:56anymore.
03:56Thank you, young man.
04:04Sorry about your sister.
04:07I'm sorry about your husband.
04:11Those greedy bastards don't care if any of us live or die as long as their pockets are
04:15lined.
04:15Don't let them get you down.
04:18We've got to fight back.
04:30If I could just meet him face to face.
04:33If I could just tell him.
04:35Check your hands there.
04:37I'll show you right now.
04:38All right, you know the drill.
04:40Be on your horses, boys.
04:42I'll take 100K and the crib keeper's wife over there.
04:44She won't last a week.
04:47I'm going to get 200,000 on the cancer, kid.
04:50Those little coffins are so cute.
04:54Don't you talk about my sister?
04:57Don't you talk about my sister?
04:59You asshole.
05:00You go apologize to her right now.
05:02Make me.
05:03Damn it.
05:03What do you want, dipshit?
05:04Mr. Thornwald, you're coming to deny my sister's leukemia treatment.
05:07I want you to do the right thing.
05:09Save her life.
05:10You come near me again, you're going to be very sorry.
05:12It's you who will be sorry.
05:14If you won't hear me out, I'll make you.
05:37Hey, who are you?
05:52Stop!
05:53Get back here!
05:55Security, catch him!
05:56The fuck is this?
06:12You underestimated me.
06:14You underestimated me.
06:16I'm sorry, who are you?
06:18The guy who sits there you're slowly killing!
06:21He's only nine years old!
06:23She has her whole life ahead of her!
06:26You want a bottle of cry, baby?
06:29You think I'd give a fuck about some snotty kid's wasted potential?
06:33He was denied.
06:34So what?
06:35That's business.
06:36It's not my fault you're too broke to save your sister's life.
06:39You heartless son of a bitch!
06:43When the world finds out what you've done to children, how many people your business has killed!
06:49Bill, what?
06:51Nobody's going to listen to you.
06:53Bill, you're not even a pimple on my ass.
07:04You're not even a pimple on my ass.
07:09You're not even a pimple on my ass.
07:10You shouldn't have done that.
07:17Gallons of blood on your hands, but soon yours will be on mine.
07:28Don't give up, Amelia.
07:30Keep fighting.
07:32I'll find another way.
07:46No.
07:47Keep this.
07:49So Mom and Daddy, you love them.
07:55No.
07:56No, Amelia.
07:58No!
07:58Amelia!
08:01Doctors!
08:02Doctors!
08:04Amelia!
08:06I hate how quiet it is without you.
08:14You were just a kid.
08:15You had a whole life unlived.
08:19A future.
08:21But they took it from you.
08:24They denied you.
08:25Almost enough to pay for the treatment that would have saved your life.
08:45A sick joke.
08:47How naive to trust the system, to believe that a rich health insurance CEO would actually care about people.
08:57It's unjust.
08:59It's unjust.
09:01I'm done being a pawn.
09:03You think you're untouchable.
09:14You hide behind your billions while the rest of us fight for scraps.
09:24But all that's going to change.
09:27Because you're not a god.
09:30When my bullet hits you, you'll bleed.
09:34You're right.
09:48I can't.
09:48She'll never get to see this amazing place.
10:18You took everything away from her and she's not the only one.
10:25You'll pay for it all.
10:28Do you have a reservation?
10:33Mario Lanchotti.
10:36Why so serious, Batman?
10:39If only she knew.
10:44So, Mario, are you here for business or pleasure?
11:03Off to work, off to school, just an ordinary day.
11:14We should be celebrating, but you're gone, and now everything is about to change.
11:26Remember me, Mr. Thornwald?
11:38Get out of my way, scum.
11:50You'll never deny anyone else ever again.
12:02You'll never deny anyone else ever again.
12:09Now run!
12:14I thought I'd regret it.
12:26But this feels like justice.

26:53The healthcare system has failed the people and it needs to be taken down.

29:19Please, don't do anything stupid. Is there a problem, officers?
29:28You little shit. Chief, it's all here.
29:35You're under arrest, motherfucker.
29:43You have the right to remain silent. Go ahead and arrest me. The people are about to wake up.
29:52No way. If you're reading this, I am in police custody.
29:58I won't stop fighting, but I can't do it alone. Will you join me?
30:07Matteo Leone is a cold-blooded killer who brutally murdered CEO Randall Thornwald. For his crimes,
30:13we are seeking the death penalty.
30:16How do you plead?
30:18They have it all wrong.
30:20Not guilty.
30:27Answer me, you shit-eating cockroach!
30:32Or should I pull the teeth out from your pretty little smile?
30:37Don't you realize you're going to get the death penalty?
30:40I don't realize nobody's free until everybody's free.
30:42Let him go, chief!
30:49Let him go!
30:53Can't let this sad sack have all the fun.
31:00You think you're a hero.
31:03You're a terrorist.
31:04And I won't rest until you're on death row.
31:09And you're afraid of me because you can't stop what I started.
31:13You're losing control, Mayor Cameron.
31:15Was that what you think?
31:17Well, let's see what the streets have to say.
31:19Come on.
31:26After you, gentlemen.
31:27Hang in there, Mateo.
31:41We're all on your side.
31:42You're fighting for me.
31:47You're going down.
31:52Great use of resources, guys.
31:53No talking.
31:55The system is designed to annihilate.
31:57Scum like you.
32:00We're in hell, you filthy criminal.
32:03You'll fry in that chair.
32:05You scared of me, Mr. CEO?
32:06Scared.
32:07Where's your money now?
32:09You're empty threats.
32:10You think you're some sort of superhero?
32:12You're shit on the bottom of a shoe.
32:14A fly about to be swatted.
32:15Easy for you to say.
32:17Surrounded by cops in your bulletproof vests.
32:19Cowards.
32:21All of you.
32:22I could rip you apart.
32:27You're nothing but a filthy criminal.
32:33Powerless.
32:34Stupid.
32:35Pathetic.
32:37You're no one.
32:38Back off.
32:39Let the court decide.
32:40Innocent is unproven guilty.
32:43Innocent is unproven guilty.
32:45Innocent is unproven guilty.
32:47Innocent is unproven guilty.
32:48It's completely unjust.
32:50It's an insult to the intelligence of the American people.
32:52And their lived experience.
32:57It's an insult to the American people.
32:59And their lived experience.
33:00They can yell all they want, but they can't keep you from rotting in jail.
33:04Come on.
33:06Hear me.
33:08See you in court.
33:09No one can protect you in here.
33:22Let's see how long you last.
33:29Maybe I deserve everything that's coming to me.
33:34What you in here for, princess?
33:36What's your name, boy?
33:39Better start answering me, son, before I fuck you up, boy.
33:43I'm gonna fuck you up so bad they ain't gonna be able to recognize you when I'm fucking through.
33:47Now what's your fucking name, boy?
33:51Matteo.
33:52Leone.
33:57Oh, shit.
33:58You to your jester.
34:05Dixon.
34:06You see the brothers in here, they're all gonna test you,
34:08and they're gonna fuck with you.
34:10But they gotta get through us first.
34:13And my man Terrence over here is gonna get you cleaned up.
34:15Yo, T.
34:16Clean this man up.
34:18Take a seat, bro.
34:18The denial letter came a week after we buried her.
34:32I'm so sorry that happened.
34:34And what you did made a lot of guys in here feel a lot better.
34:39Just feel less hopeless.
34:41There's no going back.
34:42I'll fight to the death.
34:42Janet here, but the man of the hour hasn't shown yet.
34:55If you didn't know, today is the first day of the trial of the century.
34:59The United States vs. Matteo Leone, also known as the adjuster.
35:05You saw the wanted posters.
35:07Corrupt CEO's time is running out.
35:10You crusty plebeians could never get past security.
35:13Oh, yeah?
35:14You sure about that?
35:15It's called survival of the fix.
35:18We have not.
35:18The vibes are giving pressure cooker.
35:23Get her, get her.
35:27Get her, get her.
35:41Get her, get her.
35:44Come here.
35:47The people are waking up.
35:55Enjoy it while it lasts.
35:57Our case is airtight.
35:58After this, nothing but prison and death for a sadistic monster like you.
36:03You say about that?
36:05Talk to my client again, and I'll have you disbarred.
36:09I'll see you in court.
36:10All right.
36:10All right.
36:11Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
36:37Matteo Leone viciously targeted Randall Thornwald.
36:42Rather than grieve with dignity,
36:44when his sister died of cancer,
36:46he cruelly premeditated the murder of a loving family man,
36:50a successful visionary CEO worth billions,
36:54who purposely profited off of people's pain.
36:59These witnesses will paint a picture
37:01of just how dangerous Matteo Leone is.
37:07He could have saved his sister,
37:13but he was too broke to pay.
37:15He had motive.
37:16He was aggressive from the start.
37:18He's a bully.
37:20He pushed me and threatened my husband.
37:23He wanted them to suffer.
37:25That's not true.
37:26He thought he was so smart with all his messages.
37:29Mr. Leone is entitled,
37:32manipulative,
37:33and frankly,
37:35psychotic.
37:36Thank you, Mayor Camden.
37:41For my final witness,
37:42I call Brady Thornwald,
37:45Randall Thornwald's son.
37:59Brady,
38:00how has the death of your father,
38:04your hero,
38:05affected you?
38:07Will this kid be the nail in my coffin?
38:14My father's not my hero.
38:16Uh, you mean?
38:22I mean,
38:22I was incredibly devastated,
38:25um,
38:26when that cold-blooded killer
38:29took my father's life away from me.
38:35You know what?
38:37Fuck that.
38:38My dad enjoyed hurting people.
38:40His entire vision as CEO
38:43was built on keeping people sick.
38:45And I'm not just gonna sit here and lie
38:47because some company paid me to.
38:48You disrespect your own father.
38:51After everything he did for you?
38:53You know what?
38:53Lock me up.
38:54I don't care.
38:55Objection.
38:56He can't just-
38:57I mean, sit down.
38:58You're nothing lower than
38:59suing sludge.
38:59Mr. Mayor,
39:00first,
39:01you treat him like some kind of
39:03sue event.
39:04Order!
39:05Mayor Camden,
39:11one more word
39:11and you'll be held in contempt.
39:14Yeah, yeah.
39:15No further questions.
39:18Based on the evidence
39:20provided,
39:22Matteo Leone undoubtedly
39:24is guilty of murder
39:25in the first degree.
39:27Prosecution rests.
39:30Ms. Weinhardt?
39:31Judge will shine.
39:36People to jury.
39:38As the prosecution detailed,
39:40my client,
39:41Matteo Leone,
39:43shot and killed
39:44the CEO of DB Health.
39:47Randall Thornwall,
39:49dead.
39:54Someone had to do it.
39:57That's right.
39:58My client does not deny
40:00killing Mr. Thornwall.
40:01What he does deny,
40:03it was unwarranted.
40:05Mr. Leone had to act
40:07drastically to save lives.
40:09And today,
40:10we're here to defend
40:11his right
40:12so he can defend
40:13himself and others
40:15from becoming victims
40:16of a murderous corporation.

40:48Clay and I,
40:49we'd just found out that
40:50we were gonna be grandparents.
40:53then one night Clay had a heart attack a doctor prescribed a treatment plan but
41:02DB help said no not medically necessary it would cost hundreds of thousands out
41:07of pocket so we appealed but all of our claims were denied I was denied a
41:13walking boot for my fractured ankle it got so bad they had to amputate but they
41:17couldn't because they don't make prosthetics I got addicted to pain
41:21medication but denied surgery to cure my pain for good we went bankrupt and now
41:27we're homeless couldn't afford it so he died appealed but now she's
41:33paralyzed
41:41if DB health had approved my husband surgery he would still be alive this
41:47young man Mateo saw how so many of us were being taken advantage of by DB
41:54health predatory business and he did what no one else at the courage or actually
42:01the balls to do he stood up
42:06thank you I couldn't have said it any better thank you your honor I call mr.
42:16Matteo Leoti to stand
42:18this isn't a circus order in the court
42:33do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth
42:40if you swear to listen
42:45I swear to tell the truth
42:51mr. Leone what drove you to kill the CEO of DB health

43:12the truth
43:15go ahead
43:19thanks for being here while I still have a voice I want to tell you why
43:31this is Amelia my nine-year-old sister she was just a baby when our parents died and
43:39it's been the two of us against the world ever since the doctor said she could beat
43:44leukemia if she started treatment right away but DB health wouldn't cover it even
43:51with a decent job I couldn't afford to pay out of pocket so I appealed I was
43:56optimistic I didn't know that there are almost two hundred thousand health
44:01insurance related deaths per year as we waited for a response I watched my amazing little
44:07sister gets sicker and then DB health denied her appeal I did everything I could to fight back I even pleaded with the CEO himself to save her life
44:22he told me it was nothing personal it's just the business of keeping people sick
44:29and then he smiled
44:33Amelia died
44:37and I found out our story is very very common
44:44I'm talking mass corruption leading to massive amounts of lives ruined hundreds of thousands of lives ruined all to fill their pockets but we're bigger than them all right we're bigger than them if we stand up together who's with me
45:04who's with me
45:15the defense rests
45:23nothing more to do but wait
45:25after thorough consideration
45:27purple cross health will discontinue our limited anesthesia policy
45:31our company will end its wait and see policy beginning at the first of the month
