02:56But without continuing the treatment

03:20I'm done going down with these money-hungered assholes
03:27I'm gonna cover my sister's treatment or I'll
03:30Insurance troubles?
03:34TB Health is killing my little sister
03:37She's only nine
03:39Evil snakes
03:40My husband's gone because they denied every last claim
03:44It would have been his sixth and third birthday today
03:49They were his favorite
03:50Now I can't have one in his honor
03:53Because TB Health wouldn't cover my tremor medications anymore
04:02Thank you, young man
04:03I'm sorry 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 lined
04:17Don'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
04:37We'll show you right now
04:38Alright, I know the drill
04:40Bound your horses, boys
04:42I'll take 100k and the crib keeper's wife over there
04:45She won't last a week
04:47I'm gonna get 200,000 on the cancer kid
04:50These 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!
05:03What 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 gonna be very sorry
05:12It's you who will be sorry
05:33If you won't hear me out
05:36I'll make you
05:48Hey!
05:50Who are you?
05:52Stop! Get back here!
05:55Security, catch him!
06:10The 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!
06:21She's only 9 years old!
06:23She has her whole life ahead of her!
06:26You want a bottle cry baby?
06:29You think I give a fuck about some snotty kid's wasted potential?
06:33He was denied, so what?
06:34That's business!
06:36It's not my fault you're too broke to save your sister's life
06:39You heartless son of a...
06:41Jake!
06:43When the world finds out what you've done to children
06:46How many people your business has killed
06:48Bill what?
06:51Nobody's gonna listen to you
06:55You're not even a pimple on my ass
07:00No!
07:04No!
07:09No!
07:11No!
07:11No!
07:13No!
07:15No!
07:16No!
07:16You shouldn't have done that
07:24Gallons of blood on your hands
07:25But soon yours will be on mine
07:28Don't give up, Amelia
07:30Keep fighting
07:31I'll find another way
07:45No
07:46Keep this
07:49So mom and daddy, you love them
07:55No, no, Amelia
07:57No, Amelia
08:01Doctors, doctors
08:04Amelia
08:10I hate how quiet it is without you
08:13You were just a kid
08:15You had a whole life unlived
08:18A future
08:21But they took it from you
08:23They denied you
08:42Almost enough to pay for the treatment that would have saved your life
08:45A sick joke
08:47A sick joke
08:49How naive to trust the system
08:52To believe that a rich health insurance CEO would actually care about people
09:00It's unjust
09:02I'm done being a pawn
09:12You think you're untouchable
09:14You think you're untouchable
09:15You hide behind your billions while the rest of us fight for scraps
09:23But all that's gonna change
09:26Because you're not a god
09:29When my bullet hits you
09:32You'll bleed
10:01I need
10:04She'll never get to see this amazing place.
10:19You took everything away from her and she's not the only one.
10:24You'll pay for it all.
10:31I have a reservation.
10:32Mario Lanchotti.
10:35Why so serious, Batman?
10:40If only she knew.
10:44So, Mario.
10:49Are you here for business or...
10:54Not sure.
11:02Off to work. Off to school.
11:06Just an ordinary day.
11:12We should be celebrating.
11:20But you're gone.
11:21And now everything is about to change.
11:50Remember me, Mr. Thornwald?
11:53Get out of my way, scum.
12:00You'll never deny anyone else ever again.
12:04Get out of my way, scum.
12:12Now run!
12:14Now run!
12:37I thought I'd regret it.
12:43But this feels like justice.
12:51Now time for phase two.
13:05Chief, it's over here.
13:06Let's go.
13:12Who would murder the CEO of DB Health?
13:16What happened here, Chief?
13:19Randall Thornwald was murdered in cold blood.
13:23Hey, Chief, check this out.
13:26And there's two more.
13:28Defend and oppose?
13:30You don't think it's some whack job vigilante?
13:32Yes.
13:35Mere moments ago, a man now identified as 54-year-old Randall Thornall, CEO of DB Health, has been shot
13:43dead using bullets labeled deny, defend and depose.
13:47Police are speculating that the assailant might be a vigilante.
13:53Whoever did this, enjoy your freedom.
13:56Because we will hunt you down.
13:59And when I catch you, you'll never see the light of day again.
14:03I need to walk free long enough to make sure my message is heard loud and clear.
14:17I did this so others won't die like my sister did.
14:21But what would she think of me now?
14:32I have to go back.
14:39Yes, Mr. Mayor, I know Randall Thornwald was a close personal friend.
14:43He was a goddamn visionary.
14:44And we're doing everything we can to catch him.
14:47Find the psychopath and murder them, or you'll never work again.
14:49Sir, we'll squash this cocky fucker faster than you can...
14:53I'll call you back, Mr. Mayor.
14:58CCTV caught the perp biking into Central Park.
15:01Hit it.
15:08I shouldn't have come back, but I can't let this go.
15:11Over there.
15:18They're faster than I thought.
15:21Search the area.
15:22I have an email.
15:31Where could it...
15:47Could this be a clue?
15:51Lieutenant.
15:54I knew there would be sacrifices.
15:57I have to get out of here.
16:01This will keep him busy.
16:03Let's see how long it takes for them to fix that.
16:07Y'all already know my struggle.
16:09So when I heard Danai Defender...
16:11Harn the bullets?
16:12Like, enlivening is wrong, but I am on the edge.
16:16DB health is corrupt.
16:17And karma is a bitch, hunty.
16:19So I'm rooting for Mateo.
16:25Excuse me, officer.
16:27I just found it.
16:33Yeah, I was over there.
16:35You contaminated evidence, you idiot.
16:37My bad.
16:38Hey, chief.
16:40We found the backpack.
16:48Get the fuck out of here.
16:54Give me that.
17:07There's a note.
17:11How much paper for a life?
17:13And you keep raising the price.
17:16Who gave them the right to choose?
17:19Time to adjust and pay their dues.
17:23Take this to forensics.
17:25Got it.
17:27The plot is thickening.
17:29And I think our vigilante has just earned his nickname.
17:32The Adjuster.
17:33Let me know what you think in the comments below.
17:42I won't be made a fool of.
18:09Have you seen this man?
18:12Tell us what you know, dickwad.
18:17Look, I don't see nothing.
18:19My insurance wouldn't cover new glasses.
18:21So we throwed out these glasses.
18:22Everything's a big blur.
18:25Then get out of my face.
18:27This adjuster will pay with his life.
18:38People are rooting for this guy.
18:40It just shows how sick our society is.
18:42Okay, but the adjuster can get it done.
18:47He's too hot to commit.
18:48It's some loser who wanted to be famous.
18:51All of this is pointless if they don't understand why I did it.
18:54But they will soon.
19:03Who gave them the right to choose?
19:05A justice now or pay or do?
19:08Who gave them the right to choose?
19:10A justice now or pay or do?
19:11Who gave them the right to choose?
19:11A justice now or pay or do?
19:12Who gave them the right to choose?
19:14A justice now or pay or do?
19:14Who gave them the right to choose?
19:16A justice now or pay or do?
19:17Who gave them the right to choose?
19:18A justice now or pay or do?
19:18Who gave them the right to choose?
19:19A justice now or pay or do?
19:20Who gave them the right to choose?
19:22A justice now or pay or do?
19:24Who gave them the right to choose?
19:24A justice now or pay or do?
19:24Who gave them the right to choose?
19:25A justice now or pay or do?
19:25Who gave them the right to choose?
19:25Denying claims is inhumane! Denying claims is inhumane!
19:29You 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!
19:40Who the heck?
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.
19:48How dare you touch me?
19:49Who's touching my wife?
19:52You'd better apologize, punk.
19:54Your wife's the one who should apologize.
19:56She stole something that doesn't belong to her.
19:58You loudmouth maggots are stealing our precious time.
20:03Leave!
20:04Before I make you go ahead and try.
20:13You shouldn't have done that one.
20:14Oh yeah? How about this?
20:21Do you realize you just assaulted the CEO of Purple Crossing?
20:25I was defending myself. What you did...
20:27What you did to my friend Patty here...
20:29That...
20:30Assaulted.
20:31Who's gonna believe some decrepit old woman and her rat-faced sidekick over a CEO and his wife?
20:37Everyone here? They all saw what happened.
20:40You mean these lazy invalids who'd rather shout themselves hoarse, demanding money from us than work an honest job?
20:48I worked night shift for 35 years in a warehouse until the insurance company denied my back surgery.
20:55I was trained to become a pilot until Purple Cross denied my insulin prescription.
21:00Now 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.
21:08You're done taking that away?
21:09I'm done.
21:11Newsflash.
21:12The one who has the gold makes the rules, asshole.
21:15Aw, did no one tell you?
21:18This protest is pointless.
21:20You'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.
21:35When money talks.
21:39People listen.
21:43Here's Amelia's insurance money.
21:45They need it more than I do.
21:47Free medication.
21:50There's enough here for everyone, okay?
21:52Hey!
21:54There'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.
22:04Stealing from the sick once again.
22:06That's what you greedy CEOs do best, isn't it?
22:08Stealing!
22:09I'll bet half these leeching phlegm buckets owe me money.
22:16Preach like you don't scatter me anymore.
22:18Yeah?
22:19How about the cops?
22:21They'll get me eventually.
22:23But not today.
22:24What makes you think you're so invincible?
22:27You'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?
23:05Adjust things now or pay your due?
23:08Who gave you the right to choose?
23:10Cops aren't gonna be enough.
23:12We need the mayor.
23:14Mayor Camden, there are violent protesters in front of DB Health intimidating pedestrians.
23:20Protesters, huh? Those chanting morons are a virus infecting the minds of our youth.
23:27I'll send more officers over.
23:30Mr. Mayor, their leader is the adjuster.
23:34I'll be there in five.
23:36It's for you.
23:37It's for you.
23:42Yeah, one more for you. Please.
23:47It's a miracle. But how?
23:51It's my sister's life insurance money.
23:54She'd want me to help people out while they still have a fighting chance.
23:58Consider an adjustment.
24:01There he is! The adjuster!
24:05That's the mayor. Now you'll be sorry. Mayor Camden, he's here.
24:11This pathetic guy is the adjuster? The calculated terrorist who murdered my dear friend Randy!
24:18I can't let them take me in yet. My work isn't done.
24:26No. I am the adjuster.
24:29No. I'm the adjuster.
24:31It's me. I'm the adjuster.
24:34No, it's me. I'm the adjuster.
24:38I'm the adjuster.
24:38Go! Now!
24:40Get him!
24:41Let's go! He's getting away!
24:45Get him!
24:46Get him!
24:46He's getting away!
24:48He's over there!
24:50Don't let him go! Don't let him go!
24:53He's getting away!
24:56He's getting away!
24:57union his wreath.
25:00Get him!
25:03Get him! Get him! Get him! Get him! Get him!
25:05Get him!
25:06Not so clever after all.
25:21Hey, man.
25:27Hey, you cool?
25:29Can you use the jacket?
25:33Hang right there.
25:35Here.
25:35God bless you.
25:42Take care of it, man.
25:44Stay safe.
25:4626-year-old Matteo Leone has been identified as the CEO shooter.
25:51A $10,000 reward is being offered for any info that comes into our office.
25:56My name is out there now, but I won't hide for much longer.
26:23I wish someone didn't have to die to make them listen.
26:26Listen, I wish I could hear my sister's laugh just one more time.
26:31But life isn't fair.
26:37Do you need some help?
26:39Do you mind?
26:40I don't mind.
26:41I have to put her on these walks so she can sleep, and then when she's asleep, I can never
26:45lift this up.
26:49Have a good night.
26:50Bye.
26:52The health care system has failed the people, and it needs to be taken down.
27:08This won't bring Amelia back.
27:13But it will save millions.
27:26I'm not a monster.
27:28Accountability is part of the plan.
27:38Have a good one.
27:41And I'm almost ready to take it.
27:48I don't know.
28:15I can't run forever.
28:19One last thing to check off the list.
28:25Let me get a McCrazy with Oreo spice.
28:29It's fire.
28:30Can I have a bite?
28:32What?
28:33You want a bite?
28:34Yeah.
28:36If you pay for your own, I guess, sure.
28:39Maybe, okay, sure.
28:40Can I get two then?
28:44And, uh, you can keep the change.
28:48No fucking way.
28:53Hey.
28:55I got the guy you're looking for.
28:57My time as a free man is ending.
29:00But are any of us really free?
29:10Come on, come on, come on.
29:11Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
29:13Well, well, well.
29:16Matteo Leone.
29:17Please, don't do anything stupid.
29:21Is there a problem, officers?
29:26You little shit.
29:28Chief, it's all here.
29:33You're under arrest, motherfucker.
29:41You have the right to remain silent.
29:43Go ahead and arrest me.
29:45The people are about to wake up.
29:51No way.
29:52If you're reading this, I am in police custody.
29:56I won't stop fighting, but I can't do it alone.
29:59Will you join me?
30:05Matteo Leone is a cold-blooded killer
30:08who brutally murdered CEO Randall Thornwald.
30:11For his crimes, we are seeking the death penalty.
30:15How do you plead?
30:16They have it all wrong.
30:19Not guilty.
30:25Answer me, you shit-eating cockroach!
30:31Or should I pull the teeth out
30:33from your pretty little smile?
30:36Don't you realize you're gonna get the death penalty?
30:39I don't realize nobody's free until everybody's free.
30:45Let him go, Chief!
30:47Let him go!
30:51Can't let this sad sack have all the fun.
30:59You think you're a hero.
31:01You're a terrorist.
31:03And I won't rest
31:05until you're on death row.
31:07And you're afraid of me
31:09because you can't stop what I started.
31:12You're losing control, Mayor Cameron.
31:14Was that what you think?
31:15Well, let's see what the streets have to say.
31:18Come on.
31:25After you, gentlemen.
31:38Hang in there, Mateo.
31:40We're all on your side.
31:41We're fighting game.
31:45You're going down.
31:51Great use of resources, guys.
31:52So talking.
31:53The system is designed
31:55to annihilate scum like you.
31:59Burn in hell,
32:00you filthy criminal.
32:02You'll fry in that chair.
32:03You scared of me, Mr. CEO?
32:05Scared.
32:06Where's your money now?
32:07You're empty threats.
32:08You think you're some sort of superhero?
32:10You're shit on the bottom of a shoe.
32:12A fly about to be swatted.
32:14Easy for you to say.
32:15Surrounded by cops
32:16in your bulletproof vests.
32:18Cowards.
32:19All of you.
32:20I could rip you apart.
32:27You're nothing but a filthy criminal.
32:31Powerless.
32:32Stupid.
32:34Pathetic.
32:35You know it.
32:36Back off.

32:49of the American people
32:50and their lived experience.
32:55It's an insult to the American people
32:57and their lived experience.
32:58They can yell all they want,
33:00but they can't keep you
33:01from rotting in jail.
33:03Come on.
33:04Hear me.

33:09Innocent is unproven guilty.
33:11Innocent is unproven guilty.

33:16No one can protect you in here.
33:21Let's see how long you last.
33:27Maybe I deserve everything
33:29that's coming to me.
33:32What you in here for, princess?
33:35What's your name, boy?
33:37Better start answering me, son,
33:39before I fuck you up, boy.
33:41I'm gonna fuck you up so bad
33:42they ain't gonna be able
33:43to recognize you
33:44when I'm fucking through.
33:45Now what's your fucking name, boy?
33:49Matteo.
33:50Leone.
33:55Oh, shit.
33:57You to your jester.
34:04Dixon.
34:05You see the brothers in here,
34:06they're all gonna test you
34:07and they're gonna fuck with you.
34:08But they gotta get to us first.
34:11And my man Terrence over here
34:12is gonna get you cleaned up.
34:14Yo, T.
34:14Cleanest man up.
34:16Take a seat, bro.
34:25The denial letter came
34:27a week after we buried her.
34:31I'm so sorry that happened.
34:32And what you did
34:33made a lot of guys in here
34:35feel a lot better.
34:38Just feel less hopeless.
34:43There's no going back.
34:46I'll fight to the death.
34:50Janet here,
34:51but the man of the hour
34:52hasn't shown yet.
34:54If you didn't know,
34:55today is the first day
34:56of the trial of the century.
34:57The United States
34:59versus Matteo Leone,
35:00also known as
35:01the adjuster.
35:03You saw the wanted posters.
35:05Corrupt CEO's time
35:07is running out.
35:08You crusty plebeians
35:09could never get past security.
35:12Oh, yeah?
35:12You sure about that?
35:13It's called survival
35:14of the fix.
35:16The vibes are giving
35:18Pressure Cooker.
35:20The vibes are giving
35:22Pressure Cooker.
35:25Get her, get her.
35:26Come on.
35:49The people are waking up.
35:53Enjoy it while it lasts.
35:54Our case is airtight.
35:56After this,
35:57nothing but prison and death
35:59for a sadistic monster like you.
36:01You'll see about that.
36:04Talk to my client again?
36:05And I'll have you disbarred.
36:07I'll see you in court.
36:08All right, I'll...
36:33Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
36:35Matteo Leone viciously targeted Randall Thornwald.
36:39Rather than grieve with dignity
36:42when his sister died of cancer,
36:44he cruelly premeditated the murder
36:46of a loving family man,
36:48a successful visionary CEO
36:51worth billions,
36:52who purposely profited off
36:54of people's pain.
36:57These witnesses will paint a picture
36:59of just how dangerous
37:01Matteo Leone is.
37:09He could have saved his sister,
37:11but he was too broke to pay.
37:13He had motive.
37:14He was aggressive from the start.
37:16He's a bully.
37:17He pushed me
37:19and threatened my husband.
37:21He wanted them to suffer.
37:23That's not true.
37:24He thought he was so smart
37:26with all his messages.
37:28Mr. Leone is entitled,
37:30manipulative,
37:30and, frankly,
37:33psychotic.
37:36Thank you, Mayor Camden.
37:39For my final witness,
37:40I call Brady Thornwald,
37:43Randall Thornwald's son.
37:57Brady,
37:59how has the death
38:00of your father,
38:02your hero,
38:04affected you?
38:05Will this kid
38:06be the nail in my coffin?
38:11My father's not my hero.
38:18You mean?
38:19I mean,
38:20I was incredibly devastated
38:24when that cold-blooded
38:26killer
38:27took my father's
38:31life away from me.
38:34You know what?
38:35Fuck that.
38:36My dad enjoyed hurting people.
38:38His entire vision
38:40as CEO
38:41was built on keeping people sick.
38:43And I'm not just gonna sit here
38:44and lie
38:45because some company paid me to.
38:46You disrespect your own father.
38:49After everything he did for you?
38:50You know what?
38:51Lock me up.
38:52I don't care.
38:53Objection.
38:54He can't just...
38:55I mean, sit down.
38:55You're nothing lower than
38:56suing sludge.
38:57Mr. Mayor,
38:58first,
38:59you treat him like
39:00some kind of
39:00sue event.
39:02Order.
39:07Mayor Camden,
39:08one more word
39:09and you'll be held
39:10in contempt.
39:12Yeah, yeah.
39:13No further questions.
39:16Based on the evidence
39:17provided,
39:20Matteo Leone
39:21undoubtedly
39:21is guilty of murder
39:23in the first degree.
39:25Prosecution rests.
39:28Ms. Weinhardt?
39:32Judge will shine.
39:34People to jury.
39:36As the prosecution detailed,
39:38my client,
39:39Matteo Leone,
39:40shot and killed
39:41the CEO of DB Health.
39:45Randall Thornwall,
39:46dead.
39:52Someone had to do it.
39:55That's right.
39:56My client does not deny
39:57killing Mr. Thornwall.
39:59What he does deny,
40:00it was unwarranted.
40:02Mr. Leone had to act
40:05drastically to save lives.
40:07And today,
40:07we're here to defend
40:09his right
40:09so he can defend
40:10himself and others
40:12from becoming victims
40:14of a murderous corporation.
40:16Let's go!
40:18Let's go!
40:19Let's go!
40:20Let's go!
40:21Let's go!
40:22Let's go!
40:22Let's go!
40:23Let's go!
40:23Order!
40:26I call Patty Sinclair
40:27to the stand.
40:41Please tell us
40:42what happened
40:42to your husband.
40:46Clay and I,
40:46we had just found out
40:48that we were going
40:49to be grandparents.
40:51Then one night,
40:54Clay had a heart attack.
40:57A doctor prescribed
40:58a treatment plan,
41:00but DB Health said,
41:00no,
41:01not medically necessary.
41:02It would cost hundreds
41:04of thousands
41:04out of pocket.
41:05So we appealed,
41:07but all of our claims
41:09were denied.
41:10I was denied
41:11a walking boot
41:11from my fractured ankle.
41:13It got so bad
41:14they had to amputate,
41:15but they couldn't
41:15because they don't
41:16make prosthetics.
41:17I got addicted
41:18to pain medication,
41:19but denied the surgery
41:21to cure my pain
41:22for good.
41:22We went bankrupt,
41:24and now we're homeless.
41:25Couldn't afford it,
41:27so he died.
41:28Appealed,
41:29but now she's paralyzed.
41:39If DB Health
41:40had approved
41:41my husband's surgery,
41:43he would still be alive.
41:44this young man,
41:46Mateo,
41:47saw how so many of us
41:49were being taken
41:49advantage of
41:50by DB Health's
41:52predatory business.
41:54And he did
41:55what no one else
41:56had the courage
41:57or actually the balls
41:59to do.
42:01He stood up.
42:07I couldn't have said
42:08it any better.
42:11Your Honor,
42:13I call
42:13Mr. Mateo Leoti
42:15to stand.
42:27This isn't a circus!
42:29Order in the court!
42:35Do you swear
42:36to tell the truth
42:36and nothing
42:37but the truth?
42:42If you swear
42:43to listen?
42:48I swear
42:48to tell the truth.
42:53Mr. Leone,
42:54what drove you
42:56to kill the CEO
42:57of DB Health?
43:05Your Honor,
43:06it'll be better
43:06if I show you.
43:07Oh, objection!
43:08This is new evidence
43:09not found to be...
43:10Sit down, counselor.
43:13Go ahead.
43:21Thanks for being here.
43:23While I still have a voice,
43:25I want to tell you why.
43:28This is Amelia,
43:30my nine-year-old sister.
43:34She was just a baby
43:35when our parents died
43:37and it's been the two of us
43:38against the world
43:39ever since.
43:40The doctor said
43:41she could beat leukemia
43:42if she started treatment
43:43right away.
43:45But DB Health
43:47wouldn't cover it.
43:48Even with a decent job,
43:50I couldn't afford
43:51to pay out of pocket.
43:52So I appealed.
43:53I was optimistic.
43:55I didn't know
43:56that there are
43:57almost 200,000
43:58health insurance
43:59related deaths
44:00per year.
44:01As we waited
44:02for a response,
44:03I watched my amazing
44:05little sister
44:05get sicker.
44:08And then DB Health
44:09denied her appeal.
44:12I did everything
44:13I could to fight back.
44:16I even pleaded
44:17with the CEO himself
44:18to save her life.
44:21He told me
44:22it was nothing personal.
44:24It's just the business
44:26of keeping people sick.
44:30And then he smiled.
44:34Amelia died.
44:37And I found out
44:38our story is
44:39very,
44:41very common.
44:43I'm talking
44:45mass corruption
44:46leading to massive amounts
44:48of lives ruined.
44:50Hundreds of thousands
44:51of lives ruined.
44:52All to fill their pockets.
44:55But we're bigger than them.
44:58All right?
44:59We're bigger than them.
44:59If we stand up together,
45:02who's with me?
45:13The defense rests.
45:21Nothing more to do
45:22but wait.
45:24After thorough consideration,
45:26Purple Cross Health
45:26will discontinue
45:27our limited anesthesia policy.
45:29Our company
45:30will end its
45:31wait-and-see policy
45:32beginning at the first
45:33of the month.
45:34We'll be halting
45:35our lottery policy
45:36effectively.
45:37Whatever happens today,
45:38you did this.
45:46We the jury
45:47find Matteo Leone.
45:50Dear Tracy,
45:51your letter
45:52made me tear up.
45:53I am so sorry
45:54you and your daughter
45:55had to go through
45:55such senseless pain.
45:57No one should have
45:57to experience
45:58that kind of
45:58systemic failure.
45:59You are an inspiration
46:01and your daughter
46:02is lucky to have
46:03a mother who
46:03didn't back down.
46:05All my best,
46:06Matteo Leone.
46:17Death or life
46:18in prison.
46:20At least I said
46:21my peace.
46:48you and me.
47:09You get it.
