08:07A future.
08:09But they took it from you.
08:11They denied you.
08:23Almost enough to pay for the treatment that would have saved your life.
08:35A sick joke.
08:37How naive to trust the system.
08:41To believe that a rich health insurance CEO would actually care about people.
08:47It's unjust.
08:49I'm done being a pawn.
08:53You think you're untouchable.
09:03You hide behind your billions while the rest of us fight for scraps.
09:09But all that's gonna change.
09:11But all that's gonna change.

25:2426-year-old Matteo Leone has been identified as the CEO shooter.
25:29A $10,000 reward is being offered for any info that comes into our office.
25:34My name is out there now, but I won't hide for much longer.
25:37I wish someone didn't have to die to make them listen.
26:04Listen, I wish I could hear my sister's laugh just one more time, but life isn't fair.
26:11Do you need some help?
26:17Do you mind?
26:18I don't mind.
26:19I have to put her on these walks so she can sleep, and then when she's asleep, I can never lift this up.
26:24Have a good night.
26:28Bye.
26:28The health care system has failed the people, and it needs to be taken down.
26:34This won't bring Amelia back.
26:47This won't bring Amelia back.
26:50But it will save millions.
26:53I'm not a monster.
27:04Accountability is part of the plan.
27:14Have a good one.
27:16And I'm almost ready to take it.
27:18Take care.
27:44Time.

28:08What?
28:09You want a bite?

28:14Maybe, okay, sure.
28:15Can I get two then?
28:20And you can keep the change.
28:24No fucking way.
28:29Hey.

28:33My time as a free man is ending.
28:36But are any of us really free?
28:44Come on, come on, come on.
28:47Come on, come on, come on, come on.
28:48Well, well, well.
28:51Matteo Leone.
28:53Please, don't do anything stupid.
28:57Is there a problem, officers?
29:02You little shit.
29:04Chief.
29:05It's all here.
29:06You're under arrest, motherfucker.
29:17You have the right to remain silent.
29:19Go ahead and arrest me.
29:21The people are about to wake up.
29:22No way.
29:28If you're reading this, I am in police custody.
29:31I won't stop fighting, but I can't do it alone.
29:35Will you join me?
29:41Matteo Leone is a cold-blooded killer
29:43who brutally murdered CEO Randall Thornwald.
29:46For his crimes, we are seeking the death penalty.
29:49How do you plead?
29:52They have it all wrong.
29:55Not guilty.
30:01Answer me, you shit-eating cockroach!
30:06Or should I pull the teeth out
30:08from your pretty little smile?
30:11Don't you realize you're gonna get the death penalty?
30:14I don't realize nobody's free until everybody's free.
30:16Let him go!
30:19I can't let this sad sack have all the fun.
30:25You think you're a hero?
30:30You're a terrorist.
30:32And I won't rest until you're on death row.
30:36And you're afraid of me
30:37because you can't stop what I started.
30:40You're losing control, Mayor Cameron.
30:43Is that what you think?
30:44Well, let's see what the streets have to say.
30:46Come on.
30:47After you, gentlemen.
30:57Hang in there, Matteo.
31:07We're all on your side.
31:08We're fighting game.
31:09You're going down.
31:14Great use of resources, guys.
31:20So talking.
31:21The system is designed to annihilate scum like you.
31:26Burn in hell, you filthy criminal.
31:29You'll fry in that chair.
31:31You scared of me, Mr. CEO?
31:33Scared.
31:33Where's your money now?
31:35You're empty threats.
31:36You think you're some sort of superhero?
31:38You're shit on the bottom of a shoe.
31:40A fly about to be swatted.
31:42Easy for you to say.
31:43Surrounded by cops and your bulletproof vests.
31:46Cowards.
31:47All of you.
31:48I could rip you apart.
31:49You're nothing but a filthy criminal.
31:59Powerless.
32:00Stupid.
32:02Pathetic.
32:03You're no one.
32:04Back off.
32:05Let the court decide.
32:07Innocent is unproven guilty.
32:09Innocent is unproven guilty.
32:11Innocent is unproven guilty.
32:13Innocent is unproven guilty.
32:14It's completely unjust.
32:16It's an in-do to the intelligence of the American people.
32:18And their lived experience.
32:20They can yell all they want, but they can't keep you from rotting in jail.
32:24Come on.
32:26Hear me.
32:28See you in court.
32:38No one can protect you in here.
32:43Let's see how long you last.

38:25no further questions
38:26no further questions based on the evidence provided
38:32matteo leone undoubtedly is guilty of murder in the first degree prosecution rests
38:38the judge will shine people to jury as the prosecution detailed my client matteo leone shot and killed the ceo of db health
38:54the judge will be held randall thornwall dead
39:04someone had to do it
39:05that's right my client does not deny killing mr thornwall what he does deny it was unwarranted
39:14mr leone had to act drastically to save lives and today we're here to defend his right
39:21so he could defend himself and others from becoming victims of a murderous corporation
39:35order i call patty sinclair to the stand
39:52please tell us what happened to your husband
39:57clay and i we just found out that we were going to be grandparents then one night
40:06clay had a heart attack a doctor prescribed a treatment plan but db health said no
40:13not medically necessary it would cost hundreds of thousands out of pocket so we appealed but all of
40:20her claims were denied i was denied a walking boot for my fractured ankle it got so bad they had
40:26to amputate but they couldn't because they don't make prosthetics i got addicted to pain medication
40:31but denied the surgery to cure my pain for good we went bankrupt and now we're homeless
40:37couldn't afford it so he died appealed but now she's paralyzed
40:50we're homeless if db health had approved my husband's surgery he would still be alive
40:56this young man mateo saw how so many of us were being taken advantage of by db health predatory
41:04business and he did what no one else had the courage or actually the balls to do he stood up
41:17thank you i couldn't have said it any better thank you

42:12your honor it'll be better if i show you oh objection this is new evidence not found
42:21sit down counselor go ahead
42:32thanks for being here while i still have a voice i want to tell you why
42:36this is amelia my nine-year-old sister she was just a baby when our parents died
42:47and it's been the two of us against the world ever since
42:51the doctor said she could beat leukemia if she started treatment right away
42:56but db health wouldn't cover it even with a decent job i couldn't afford to pay out of pocket
43:02so i appealed i was optimistic i didn't know that there are almost 200 000 health insurance related
43:10deaths per year as we waited for a response i watched my amazing little sister get sicker
43:18and then db health denied her appeal
43:23i did everything i could to fight back
43:25i even pleaded with the ceo himself to save her life
43:32he told me it was nothing personal it's just the business of keeping people sick
43:41and then he smiled
43:45amelia died
43:46and i found out our stories very very common i'm talking mass corruption leading to massive
43:58amounts of lives ruined hundreds of thousands of lives ruined all to fill their pockets but we're
44:06bigger than them all right we're bigger than them if we stand up together who's with me
44:16the defense rests
44:31nothing more to do but wait after thorough consideration purple cross health will discontinue
44:38our limited anesthesia policy our company will end its wait and see policy beginning at the first
44:43of the month we'll be halting our lottery policy whatever happens today you did this
44:56we the jury find matteo leone
45:00dear tracy your letter made me tear up i am so sorry you and your daughter had to go through such
45:06senseless pain no one should have to experience that kind of systemic failure you are an inspiration and
45:12your daughter is lucky to have a mother who didn't back down all my best matteo leone
