00:00Do you know what it's like to watch someone you love endure constant senseless pain?
00:10Of course you don't. You're incapable of empathy.
00:18I tried to do it the right way, but you made it impossible.
00:26And now I understand suffering.
00:30All I feel is rage in my chest.
00:40I live with a hole in my heart.
00:46And soon you will too.
00:49This is for you, sis.
00:52This is for all of us.
00:56Her chemotherapy is supposed to start today.
00:58Hey, please, please, just check one more time.
01:00You should calm down. I will check one more time for you, okay?
01:03Okay, okay.
01:04Your insurance did not her claim.
01:05Treatment is canceled.
01:10Canceled?
01:10What?
01:11So you're telling me there's nothing we can do?
01:16You want to continue treatment?
01:18Then pay out of pocket.
01:28You're fine.
01:29I've done all that I can.
01:32You still got a problem?
01:33You can appeal or take it up with the CEO of your insurance company.
01:37I have to appeal or Amelia is going to die.
01:55Say, I don't feel...
01:58I still believe that someone up there might listen.
02:21They denied the appeal?
02:23No, no, I don't want to die.
02:30I don't want to die.
02:31I never tell.
02:32You're okay, you're okay.
02:33You're okay.
02:34No.
02:34Someone help.
02:35Someone help.
02:37Doctor, hello?
02:39Please.
02:40She's all half left.
02:41Please, someone save her.
02:42Please.
02:42Your sister's leukemia has spread.
02:52And I gave her emergency stem cell transplant.
02:54But without continuing the treatment,
02:56she has no chance.
02:57I'm done going down with this money on my assholes.
03:20I've got to cover my sister's treatment or I'll...
03:28Insurance troubles?
03:32TB Health is killing my little sister.
03:35She's only nine.
03:36Evil snakes.
03:38My husband's gone because they denied every last claim.
03:42It would have been his 63rd birthday today.
03:46They were his favorite.
03:47Now I can't have one in his honor
03:50because TB Health wouldn't cover my tremor medications anymore.
03:59Thank you, young man.
04:01Sorry about your sister.
04:04I'm sorry about your husband.
04:09Those greedy bastards don't care if any of us live or die
04:12as long as their pockets are lined.
04:14Don't let them get you down.
04:16We've got to fight back.
04:17If I could just meet him face-to-face.
04:30If I could just tell him.
04:33Check your notes there.
04:34I'm going to show you right now.
04:35All right, I know the drill.
04:37Get down your horses, boys.
04:39I'll take 100K and the crib keeper's wife over there.
04:43She won't last a week.
04:44I'm going to get 200,000 on the cancer, kid.
04:46Those little coffins are so cute.
04:51Don't you talk about my sister?
04:55Don't you talk about my sister?
04:57You asshole.
04:58You go apologize to her right now.
04:59Make me.
05:01What do you want, dipshit?
05:02Mr. Thornwall, you're coming to deny my sister's leukemia treatment.
05:05I want you to do the right thing.
05:06Save her life.
05:07You come near me again, you're going to be very sorry.
05:09It's you who will be sorry.
05:11It's you who will be sorry.
05:26If you won't hear me out,
05:32I'll make you.
05:46Hey.
05:48Who are you?
05:50Stop!
05:51Get back here!
05:52Security, catch him!
05:54The fuck is this?
06:09You underestimating me.
06:12You underestimating me.
06:13I'm sorry, who are you?
06:17The guy whose sister you're slowly killing!
06:19He's only nine years old!
06:21She has her whole life ahead of her!
06:24You want a bottle of crybaby?
06:27You think I'd give a fuck about some snotty kid's wasted potential?
06:31He was denied.
06:32So what?
06:32That's business.
06:34It's not my fault you're too broke to save your sister's life.
06:37You heartless son of a...
06:40Jay!
06:41When the world finds out what you've done to children,
06:44how many people your business has killed!
06:47Phil, what?
06:49Nobody's going to listen to you.
06:53You're not even a pimple on my ass.
06:58Jay!
06:59Jay!
07:01You!
07:02God!
07:04God!
07:05You're a red dog!
07:06You shouldn't have done that.
07:22Gallons of blood on your hands,
07:23but soon yours will be on mine.
07:26Don't give up, Amelia.
07:28Keep fighting.
07:30I'll find another way.
07:36No.
07:37Keep this.
07:38So Mom and Daddy love them.
07:53No.
07:54No, Amelia!
07:55No!
07:56Amelia!
07:57No!
07:57No!
07:57No!
07:58No!
07:58No!
07:59No!
07:59No!
08:00No!
08:00No!
08:01No!
08:01No!
08:02No!
08:03No!
08:04No!
08:05I hate how quiet it is without you.
08:12You were just a kid.
08:14You had a whole life unlived.
08:17A future.
08:19But they took it from you.
08:21They denied you.
08:23No!
08:23No!
08:23No!
08:23No!
08:24No!
08:24No!
08:25No!
08:25No!
08:26No!
08:26No!
08:27No!
08:27No!
08:28No!
08:28No!
08:29No!
08:29No!
08:30No!
08:30No!
08:31No!
08:31No!
08:32No!
08:32No!
08:33No!
08:40No!
08:40Almost enough to pay for the treatment that would have saved your life.
08:44A sick joke.
08:48How naive to trust the system?
08:51To believe that a rich health insurance CEO would actually care about people?
08:55It's unjust
08:59I'm done being a pawn
09:01You think you're untouchable
09:12You hide behind your billions
09:16While the rest of us fight for scraps
09:18But all that's gonna change
09:23Because you're not a god
09:27When my bullet hits you
09:30You'll bleed
09:53She'll never get to see this amazing place
10:05You took everything away from her
10:20And she's not the only one
10:21You'll pay for it all
10:25Do you have a reservation?
10:30Mario and Charity
10:32Why are you so serious?
10:35Batman
10:36If only she knew
10:39So, Mario
10:44Are you here for business or
10:50Pleasure
10:53Off to work
11:02Off to school
11:03Just an ordinary day
11:06We should be celebrating
11:13But you're gone
11:20And now everything
11:22Is about to change
11:24Remember me, Mr. Thornwald?
11:50Get out of my way, scum
11:54You'll never deny
12:00Anyone else
12:01Ever again
12:02Now run
12:12I thought I'd regret it
12:37But this feels like justice
12:44Now time for phase two
12:51Chief, it's over here
13:05Let's go
13:06Who would murder the CEO of DB Health?
13:14What happened here, Chief?
13:18Randall Thornwald was murdered in cold blood
13:21Hey, Chief
13:22Check this out
13:23And there's two more
13:26Defend and oppose
13:28You don't think it's some whack child vigilance
13:31Mere moments ago
13:35A man now identified as
13:3754-year-old Randall Thornall
13:39CEO of DB Health
13:41Has been shot dead
13:42Using bullets labeled
13:43Deny, defend and depose
13:46Police are speculating
13:47That the assailant
13:48Might be a vigilante
13:49Whoever did this
13:53Enjoy your freedom
13:54Because we will hunt you down
13:57And when I catch you
13:59You'll never see the light of day again
14:01I need to walk free long enough
14:04To make sure my message is heard loud and clear
14:06The shooter will run alive
14:08Finanar Randall Thornwald
14:09Pop, pop, people, fuck
14:11I did this so others won't die
14:18Like my sister did
14:19But what would she think of me now?
14:30I have to go back
14:32Yes, Mr. Mayor
14:39I know Randall Thornwald
14:40Was a close personal friend
14:41He was a goddamn visionary
14:43And we're doing everything we can
14:45To catch him
14:46Find the psychopath that murdered him
14:47Who you'll never work again
14:48Sir, we'll squash this cocky fucker
14:51Faster, then you can
14:52I'll call you back, Mr. Mayor
14:54CCTV caught the perp
14:58Biking in the Central Park
14:59Hit it
15:01I shouldn't have come back
15:08But I can't let this go
15:09Over there
15:11They're faster than I thought
15:18Search the area
15:21I have an email
15:22Where could it
15:31Could this be a clue?
15:50Lieutenant
15:50I knew there would be sacrifices
15:55I have to get out of here
15:57This will keep him busy
16:01Let's see how long it takes
16:04For them to fix that
16:05Y'all already know my struggle
16:08So when I heard
16:09Danai defend
16:10On the bullets
16:11Like
16:12Annivening is wrong
16:13But I am on the edge
16:15DB health is corrupt
16:16And karma is a bitch
16:18So I'm rooting for Mateo
16:20Excuse me, officer
16:25I just found it
16:27Yeah, I was over there
16:33You contaminated evidence, you idiot
16:36My bad
16:37Hey, chief
16:38We found the backpacker
16:40Get the fuck out of here
16:49Give me that
16:54There's a note
17:07How much paper for a life
17:12And you keep raising the price
17:15Who gave them the right to choose
17:18Time to adjust and pay their dues
17:21Take this to forensics
17:24Got it
17:25The plot is thickening
17:28And I think our vigilante
17:29Has just earned his nickname
17:31The adjuster
17:32Let me know what you think
17:33In the comments below
17:34I won't be made a fool of
17:43Have you seen this man?
18:11Tell us what you know, dickwad
18:13Look, I don't see nothing
18:18My insurance wouldn't cover new glasses
18:20So we throwed out these glasses
18:22Everything's a big blur
18:23Then get out of my face
18:25This adjuster will pay with his life
18:29People are rooting for this guy
18:39It just shows how sick our society is
18:42Okay, but the adjuster can get it done
18:44But he's too hot to commit
18:48It's some loser who wanted to be famous
18:50All of this is pointless
18:51If they don't understand why I did it
18:53But they will soon
18:55Claims to seem humane
18:58Denying claims to seem humane
19:00Denying claims to seem humane
19:03Who gave them the right to choose
19:05A justice now or pay or due?
19:07Who gave them the right to choose
19:09A justice now or pay or due?
19:11This is what I wanted
19:15The people rising up
19:17Shouting back at the system that tried to silence them.
19:20Who gave them the right to choose a justice power?
19:23Denying claims is inhumane! Denying claims is inhumane! Denying claims is inhumane!
19:28You should be ashamed of yourself. Harassing people at your age?
19:33I'm proud to fight for what's right, for what we all deserve.
19:36You're defending a murderer!
19:41Who or what? Look at you, shaking like a leaf. You're nothing but a weak old-
19:45Don't lay a hand on her.
19:47How dare you touch me?
19:49Who's touching my wife?
19:52You better apologize, punk.
19:54Your wife's the one who should apologize. She stole something that doesn't belong to her.
19:58You loudmouth maggots are stealing our precious time. Leave!
20:03Before I make you go ahead and try.
20:12You shouldn't have done that one.
20:14Yeah? How about this?
20:17Do you realize you just assaulted the CEO of Purple Cross?
20:24I was defending myself. What you did, what you did to my friend Patty here, that assaulted.
20:30Who's gonna believe some decrepit old woman and her rat-faced sidekick over CEO and his wife?
20:36Everyone here? They all saw what happened.
20:39You mean these lazy invalids who'd rather shout themselves hoarse, demanding money from us than work an honest job?
20:47I worked night shift for 35 years in a warehouse until the insurance company denied my back surgery.
20:54I was trained to become a pilot until Purple Cross denied my insulin prescription.
20:59Now I'm blind in one eye and have to give up on everything I worked for.
21:04All they want is a chance to live.
21:07You're done taking that away?
21:09I'm done.
21:10Newsflash.
21:11The one who has the gold makes the rules, asshole.
21:14Aw, did no one tell you?
21:16This protest is pointless.
21:19You'll all stay poor and sick, begging for money you're never gonna get.
21:25Like diseased hamsters stuck in a broken wheel.
21:28It's how the world works. You can't do it without money.
21:31It's always about money.
21:33You're right?
21:34When money talks, people listen.
21:40Here's Emili's insurance money. They need it more than I do.
21:47Free medication.
21:49There's enough here for everyone, okay?
21:51Hey!
21:53There's over 200k in here.
21:56Either you stole this, or you're a drug dealer.
22:00Let's go out for a real nice dinner tonight, honey.
22:03Stealing from the sick once again.
22:05That's what you greedy CEOs do best, isn't it?
22:07Stealing!
22:08I'll bet half these leeching phlegm buckets owe me money.
22:16Pritch like you don't scare me anymore.
22:17Yeah?
22:19How about the cops?
22:21They'll get me eventually.
22:23But not today.
22:24What makes you think you're so invincible?
22:26You're a scrawny little nobody.
22:29I'm the CEO of a billion dollar healthcare company.
22:32You have no idea who I am.
22:35And you don't want to find out.
22:39Who gave you the right to choose?
22:41Adjust things now or pay your due?
22:43Who gave you the right to choose?
22:45Adjust things now or pay your due?
22:47Who gave you the right to choose?
22:49Adjust things now or pay your due?
22:51Who gave you the right to choose?
22:53Adjust things now or pay your due?
22:55I'm shutting this down!
22:58We're not going anywhere.
23:01We're not going anywhere.
23:03Who gave you the right to choose?
23:06Adjusting your pay you do!
23:08Who gave you the right to choose?
23:10Cops aren't going to be enough.
23:12We need the mayor.
23:14Here, Camden, there are violent protesters in front of DB Health intimidating pedestrians.
23:20Protesters, huh?
23:22Those chanting morons are a virus infecting the minds of our youth.
23:27I'll send more officers over.
23:29Mr. Mayor, their leader is the adjuster.
23:34I'll be there in five.
23:36It's for you.
23:38It's for you.
23:42Yeah, one more for you.
23:44Please.
23:46It's a miracle.
23:49But how?
23:51It's my sister's life insurance money.
23:53She'd want me to help people out while they still have a fighting chance.
23:58Consider it adjustable.
24:00There he is!
24:02The adjuster!
24:04That's the mayor.
24:06Now you'll be sorry.
24:08Mayor Camden, he's here.
24:10This pathetic guy is the adjuster?
24:14The calculated terrorist who murdered my dear friend Randy!
24:18I can't let them take me in yet.
24:20My work isn't done.
24:22No.
24:23I am the adjuster.
24:26No.
24:27I am the adjuster.
24:29No.
24:30I'm the adjuster.
24:32It's me.
24:33I'm the adjuster.
24:34No, it's me.
24:35I'm the adjuster.
24:36No!
24:37Now!
24:38Go! Now!
24:41Get him!
24:42Let's go! He's getting away!
24:46Get him!
24:46Get him! He's getting away!
24:48He's over there!
24:50Don't let him go! Don't let him go!
24:52Come on!
24:55There!
24:59There!
25:01Get him!
25:03Get him! Get him!
25:05Get him! Get him!
25:05Not so clever after all!
25:21Hey, man.
25:27Hey, you cool?
25:29Can you use the jacket?
25:33Right there.
25:35Hey, God bless you.
25:43Take care of it, man.
25:44Stay safe!
25:4726-year-old Matteo Leone
25:49has been identified as the CEO's shooter.
25:52A $10,000 reward
25:53is being offered for any info
25:55that comes into our office.
25:57My name is out there now, but I won't hide for much longer.
26:00I wish someone didn't have to die to make them listen.
26:27Listen, I wish I could hear my sister's laugh just one more time.
26:32But life isn't fair.
26:34Do you need some help?
26:40Do you mind?
26:41I don't mind.
26:42I have to put her on these walks so she can sleep,
26:45and then when she's asleep,
26:46I can never lift this up.
26:50Have a good night.
26:51Bye.
26:51The healthcare system has failed the people,
26:55and it needs to be taken down.
27:08This won't bring Amelia back.
27:10But it will save millions.
27:27I'm not a monster.
27:29Accountability is part of the plan.
27:31Have a good one.
27:41And I'm almost ready to take it.
27:43I'm almost ready to take it.
27:47I'm almost ready to take it.
27:57I can't run forever.
28:19One last thing to check off the list.
28:22Let me get a McCrazy with Oreos, please.
28:30It's fire.
28:31Can I have a bite?
28:34What?
28:34You want a bite?
28:35Yeah.
28:36Um, if you pay for your own, I guess, sure.
28:40Maybe, okay, sure.
28:41Can I get two, then?
28:45And, uh, you can keep the change.
28:47No fucking way.
28:54Hey.
28:56I got the guy you're looking for.
28:58My time as a free man is ending.
29:01But are any of us really free?
29:11Come on, come on, come on.
29:12Come on, come on, come on, come on.
29:13Well, well, well, Matteo Leone.
29:18Please, don't do anything stupid.
29:22Is there a problem, officers?
29:27You little shit.
29:29Chief, it's all here.
29:34You're under arrest, motherfucker.
29:36You have the right to remain silent.
29:44Go ahead and arrest me.
29:46The people are about to wake up.
29:52No way.
29:54If you're reading this, I am in police custody.
29:57I won't stop fighting, but I can't do it alone.
30:00Will you join me?
30:01Matteo Leone is a cold-blooded killer
30:09who brutally murdered CEO Randall Thornwald.
30:12For his crimes, we 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!
30:29Or should I pull the teeth out
30:34from your pretty little smile?
30:37Don't you realize you're gonna get the death penalty?
30:40You don't realize nobody's free
30:41until everybody's free.
30:47Let him go, Chief!
30:48Let him go!
30:52Can't let this sad sack have all the fun.
30:55You think you're a hero?
31:03You're a terrorist.
31:05And I won't rest
31:06until you're on death row.
31:09And you're afraid of me
31:10because 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.
31:18Come on.
31:19After you, gentlemen.
31:39Hang in there, Mateo.
31:41We're all on your side.
31:42We're fighting you.
31:46You're going down.
31:47Great use of resources, guys.
31:53So talking.
31:54The system is designed
31:56to annihilate scum like you.
32:00Burn in hell,
32:01you filthy criminal.
32:03You'll fry in that chair.
32:05You scared of me, Mr. CEO?
32:06Scared?
32:07Where's your money now?
32:08You're empty threats.
32:09You think you're some sort of superhero?
32:12You're shit on the bottom of a shoe.
32:13A fly about to be swatted.
32:15Easy for you to say.
32:17Surrounded by cops
32:17and your bulletproof vests.
32:19Cowards!
32:21All of you!
32:22I could rip you apart!
32:29You're nothing but a filthy criminal.
32:32Powerless.
32:34Stupid.
32:35Pathetic.
32:36You're no...
32:37Back off!
32:38Let the court decide.
32:40Innocent is unproven guilty!
32:42Innocent is unproven guilty!
32:44Innocent is unproven guilty!
32:47Innocent is unproven guilty!
32:48It's completely unjust!
32:49It's an insult to the intelligence
32:51of the American people
32:52and their lived experience!
32:55Innocent is unproven guilty!
32:57It's an insult to the American people
32:59and their lived experience!
33:00They can yell all they want,
33:01but they can't keep you
33:02from running in jail.
33:04Come on.
33:06Hear me!
33:08See you in court!
33:09Innocent is unproven guilty!
33:11Innocent is unproven guilty!
33:12Innocent is unproven guilty!
33:14Innocent is unproven guilty!
33:15Innocent is unproven guilty!
33:17No one can protect you in here.
33:22Let's see how long you last.
33:29Maybe I deserve everything
33:30that's coming to me.
33:34What you're in here for, princess?
33:36What's your name, boy?
33:37Better start answering me, son,
33:40before I fuck you up, boy.
33:42I'm gonna fuck you up so bad
33:44they ain't gonna be able to recognize you
33:45when I'm fucking through.
33:46Now what's your fucking name, boy?
33:48Mateo.
33:51Mateo.
33:52Leone.
33:56Oh, shit.
33:58You to your jester.
34:05Dixon.
34:06You see the brothers in here,
34:07they're all gonna test you
34:08and they're gonna fuck with you.
34:10But they gotta get to us first.
34:12And my man Terrence over here
34:14is gonna get you cleaned up.
34:15Yo, T, clean this man up.
34:18Take a seat, bro.
34:18The denial letter came
34:28a week after we buried her.
34:32I'm so sorry that happened.
34:34And what you did
34:35made a lot of guys in here
34:37feel a lot better.
34:39Just feel less hopeless.
34:45There's no going back.
34:47I'll fight to the death.
34:48Janet here,
34:53but the man of the hour
34:54hasn't shown yet.
34:55If you didn't know,
34:56today is the first day
34:58of the trial of the century.
35:00The United States
35:00versus Mateo Leone,
35:02also known as
35:03the adjuster.
35:05You saw the wanted posters.
35:07Corrupt CEO's time
35:09is running out.
35:10You trusty plebeians
35:11could never get past security.
35:13Oh, yeah?
35:14You sure about that?
35:15It's called
35:16survival of the fix.
35:17We said not.
35:18The vibes are giving
35:20pressure cooker.
35:25Get her, get her.
35:28People are waking up.
35:54Enjoy it while it lasts.
35:57Our case is airtight.
35:58After this,
36:00nothing but prison and death
36:01for a sadistic monster like you.
36:03You say about that?
36:06Talk to my client again?
36:07And I'll have you disbarred.
36:09I'll see you in court.
36:10All right.
36:11All right.
36:11All right.
36:11Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
36:27ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
36:37Matteo Leone viciously targeted
36:40Randall Thornwald.
36:42Rather than grieve with dignity
36:44when his sister died of cancer,
36:46he cruelly premeditated the murder
36:48of a loving family man,
36:50a successful visionary CEO
36:53worth 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.
37:05He could have saved his sister,
37:13but he was too broke to pay.
37:15He had motive.
37:17He 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.
37:27He thought he was so smart with all his messages.
37:30Missilione is entitled, manipulative,
37:33and frankly, psychotic.
37:38Thank you, Mayor Camden.
37:41For my final witness, I call Brady Thornwald,
37:45Randall Thornwald's son.
37:59Brady, how has the death
38:03of your father, your hero,
38:06affected you?
38:08Will this kid be the nail in my coffin?
38:14My father's not my hero.
38:19You mean?
38:22I mean,
38:23I was incredibly devastated
38:25when that cold-blooded killer
38:30took my father's life away from me.
38:37You know what?
38:38Fuck that.
38:39My dad enjoyed hurting people.
38:41His entire vision as CEO
38:43was built on keeping people sick.
38:46And I'm not just going to sit here and lie
38:47because some company paid me to.
38:49You disrespect your own father.
38:51After everything he did for you?
38:53You know what?
38:53Lock me up.
38:54I don't care.
38:56Objection.
38:56He can't just...
38:57I mean, sit down.
38:58You're nothing lower than
38:59suing sludge.
39:00Mr. Mayor,
39:01first,
39:02you treat him like some kind of
39:03sue event.
39:05Order!
39:05Order!
39:10Mayor Camden,
39:11one more word
39:12and you'll be held in contempt.
39:15Yeah, I agree.
39:16No further questions.
39:19Based on the evidence
39:20provided,
39:23Matteo Leone undoubtedly
39:24is guilty of murder
39:25in the first degree.
39:27Prosecution rests.
39:30Ms. Weinhart?
39:35Judge will shine.
39:36People to jury.
39:38As the prosecution detailed,
39:40my client,
39:42Matteo Leone,
39:43shot and killed
39:44the CEO of DB Health,
39:48Randall Thornwall,
39:49dead.
39:55Someone had to do it.
39:58That's right.
39:59My client does not deny
40:00killing Mr. Thornwall.
40:02What he does deny,
40:04it was unwarranted.
40:06Mr. Leone had to act drastically
40:08to save lives.
40:09And today,
40:10we're here
40:11to defend his right
40:12so he can defend
40:13himself and others
40:15from becoming victims
40:17of a murderous corporation.
40:26Order!
40:28I call Patty Sinclair
40:30to the stand.
40:30Please tell us
40:45what happened
40:45to your husband.
40:49Clay and I,
40:50we just found out
40:51that we were going
40:52to be grandparents.
40:53Then one night,
40:57Clay had a heart attack.
41:00A doctor prescribed
41:01a treatment plan,
41:03but DB Health said,
41:04no, not medically necessary.
41:06It would cost hundreds
41:07of thousands out of pocket.
41:08So we appealed,
41:10but all of our claims
41:12were denied.
41:13I was denied a walking boot
41:15from my fractured ankle.
41:16It got so bad
41:17they had to amputate,
41:18but they couldn't
41:18because they don't
41:19make prosthetics.
41:20I got addicted
41:21to pain medication,
41:23but denied the surgery
41:24to cure my pain for good.
41:26We went bankrupt,
41:27and now we're homeless.
41:28Couldn't afford it,
41:30so he died.
41:32Appealed,
41:33but now she's paralyzed.
41:43If DB Health
41:44had approved
41:44my husband's surgery,
41:46he would still be alive.
41:48This young man,
41:49Mateo saw how
41:51so many of us
41:52were being taken
41:53advantage of
41:53by DB Health's
41:55predatory business,
41:57and he did
41:58what no one else
42:00had the courage
42:00or actually
42:01the balls to do.
42:04He stood up.
42:10I couldn't have said it
42:12any better.
42:14Your Honor,
42:16I call
42:17Mr. Mateo Leoti
42:18to stand.
42:31This isn't a circus!
42:33Order in the court!
42:38Do you swear to tell the truth
42:40and nothing but the truth?
42:45If you swear to listen?
42:51I swear to tell the truth.
42:56Mr. Leoti,
42:57what drove you
42:59to kill the CEO
43:00of DB Health?
43:01Your Honor,
43:09it'll be better
43:10if I show you.
43:11Oh, objection!
43:12This is new evidence
43:13not found to be...
43:13Sit down, counselor.
43:16Go ahead.
43:24Thanks for being here.
43:26While I still have a voice,
43:28I want to tell you why.
43:32This is Amelia,
43:34my nine-year-old sister.
43:37She was just a baby
43:39when our parents died.
43:40And it's been the two of us
43:42against the world
43:42ever since.
43:44The doctor said
43:45she could beat leukemia
43:46if she started treatment
43:47right away.
43:49But DB Health
43:50wouldn't cover it.
43:52Even with a decent job,
43:53I couldn't afford
43:54to pay out of pocket.
43:56So I appealed.
43:57I was optimistic.
43:59I didn't know
44:00that there are almost
44:01200,000 health insurance
44:03related deaths
44:03per year.
44:04As we waited
44:05for a response,
44:07I watched my amazing
44:08little sister
44:09get sicker.
44:11And then DB Health
44:13denied her appeal.
44:14I did everything I could
44:17to fight back.
44:19I even pleaded
44:20with the CEO himself
44:22to save her life.
44:25He told me
44:26it was nothing personal.
44:28It's just the business
44:29of keeping people sick.
44:31And then he smiled.
44:38Amelia died.
44:41And I found out
44:42our story is
44:43very,
44:44very common.
44:47I'm talking
44:48mass corruption
44:50leading to massive amounts
44:52of lives ruined.
44:53Hundreds of thousands
44:54of lives ruined.
44:56All to fill their pockets.
44:58but we're bigger
45:00than them.
45:01All right?
45:02We're bigger than them.
45:03If we stand up together,
45:06who's with me?
45:07Go!
45:08Go!
45:08Go!
45:09Go!
45:09Go!
45:10Go!
45:11Go!
45:12Go!
45:13Go!
45:14Go!
45:15Go!
45:16Go!
45:17The defense
45:18rests.
45:18Nothing more to do
45:26but wait.
45:28After thorough consideration,
45:30Purple Cross Health
45:30will discontinue
45:31our limited anesthesia policy.
45:34Our company
45:34will end its
45:35wait-and-see policy
45:36beginning at the first
45:37of the month.
45:38We'll be halting
45:39our lottery policy
45:40effectively.
45:40Whatever happens today,
45:42you did this.
45:43We the jury
45:51find Matteo Leone.
45:54Dear Tracy,
45:55your letter made me tear up.
45:57I am so sorry
45:58you and your daughter
45:58had to go through
45:59such senseless pain.
46:01No one should have to
46:01experience that kind
46:02of systemic failure.
46:04You are an inspiration
46:05and your daughter
46:06is lucky to have
46:07a mother who didn't
46:07back down.
46:09All my best,
46:10Matteo Leone.
46:13Death or life in prison.
46:24At least I said
46:25my peace.
