was deleting work orders

The reason my client is fired

was because he

because the work orders were deleted.

The work order could be anything.
It could be a tire alignment,

it could be a tear in the

they were never gonna be
repaired to begin with.

that you accidentally

working water pumps,

112

bureaucratic mess to the public,

after you realized this, you
felt the best usage of your time

of Kings County vs. Stevenson

with disabilities to keep their pets,

support in cases like depression.

can't be reused.

236

A safety needle like this could prevent
incidents like mine from ever happening.

237
00:13:30,250 --> 00:13:32,470
And the hospital refuses
to even look at if.

238
00:13:32,550 --> 00:13:35,600
Excuse me, so you were
injured on the job,

239

but are you receiving
worker's compensation?

240
00:13:38,100 --> 00:13:40,140
Yes, they've kept up
with that end of it.

241
00:13:40,220 --> 00:13:42,600
Uh, unfortunately

242
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:45,060
I don't think there's anything
else that can be done.

243
00:13:45,140 --> 00:13:48,070

The bottom line is,

about 50 to 20 K, right?

like a daily thing?

00:19:55,890 --> 00:19:57,730
Weiss. Mike, please.

348
00:19:57,810 --> 00:20:00,560
Mr. Weiss, I cannot and will
not look at your needle.

349
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,740
Because of the purchasing
contract that the hospital has.

350
00:20:03,810 --> 00:20:05,610
Will you at least
look at this data?

351
00:20:05,690 --> 00:20:07,030
No.

352
00:20:07,110 --> 00:20:08,860
Would you mind telling me why?

353
00:20:08,940 --> 00:20:11,450
I don't want you
to show me your data,

354
00:20:11,530 --> 00:20:14,960
and I don't want you to show
this product to my nurses

355
00:20:15,030 --> 00:20:18,790
because they'll want it,
and they can't have it.

356
00:20:21,370 --> 00:20:23,970
What kind of a shirt was it?

357
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,420
Was it a nice shirt?

358
00:20:27,500 --> 00:20:32,010
[Spanish accent] Yes, Mr.
Paul, it was nice.

359
00:20:32,090 --> 00:20:34,310
Was it a special shirt?

360
00:20:34,390 --> 00:20:37,360
[Mumbles] Special?

361
00:20:37,430 --> 00:20:40,030
Maybe it was, a, uh, gift.

362
00:20:42,810 --> 00:20:45,160
It was just a shirt.

363
00:20:47,020 --> 00:20:48,740
How much did you say it cost?

364
00:20:48,820 --> 00:20:51,620
Uh.

365
00:20:51,700 --> 00:20:52,790
I don't remember.

366
00:20:52,860 --> 00:20:54,740
Let's say $70.

367
00:20:56,490 --> 00:21:02,220
Sylvia, could you, uh,
try Mike again, please?

368
00:21:02,290 --> 00:21:06,040
Not if you wanna leave with all ten of
those tiny little fingers, young man.

369
00:21:06,130 --> 00:21:08,800
I just left him
a fifth message.

[Instrumental rock music]

371
00:22:51,610 --> 00:22:53,410
Mike.

372
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,860
Paul, you're awake.
You're not gonna believe this.

373
00:22:55,940 --> 00:22:59,670
I worked my way into a meeting with the
director of Infection at the hospital.

374
00:22:59,740 --> 00:23:01,370
What?

375
00:23:01,450 --> 00:23:05,050
That was today? Oh, shit, man.

376
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,130
Hello?

377
00:23:18,430 --> 00:23:22,520
He said that Safety Point is fucking
essential to the safety of hospital...

378
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,520
I mean, we're looking at a shitload
of violations under State Law.

379
00:23:32,860 --> 00:23:37,030
Several violations on a shitload
of counts under false claims.

380
00:23:51,500 --> 00:23:53,250
(Sylvia) I'm looking for it.

381
00:23:53,340 --> 00:23:55,680
Take it, take it.
And I'll call him after lunch.

382
00:23:55,750 --> 00:23:57,100
All right.

383
00:23:57,170 --> 00:23:59,050
I'll call him after lunch.

384
00:23:59,130 --> 00:24:01,510
The Nursing Association I
represent requested I call

385
00:24:01,590 --> 00:24:05,100
in hopes that you'd help them with their
campaign in regards to this matter.

386
00:24:05,180 --> 00:24:07,650
If you'd give me a call back,
that'd be great, if not...

387
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,730
Senator O'Hara's from Nebraska.

388
00:24:11,810 --> 00:24:13,530
Nebraska?

389
00:24:13,610 --> 00:24:15,980
Yeah, there's only 100 centers.
We could call...

390
00:24:16,070 --> 00:24:18,190
You mean we're like a team?

391
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,870
That we agreed upon things
then we do them together?

392
00:24:20,950 --> 00:24:22,240
I said I was sorry.

393
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,000
Twenty-two straight hours...

394
00:24:24,070 --> 00:24:26,580
I'm sorry.
Did you get the file I sent over?

395
00:24:26,660 --> 00:24:31,290
I got it. GPO's have been bribed to buy
certain products for the hospitals.

396
00:24:31,370 --> 00:24:34,000
I sent it over
to Dancort already.

397
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,340
In the '80s, these GPO's got so big,
they managed to pass a bill in Congress

398
00:24:37,420 --> 00:24:39,920
allowing them a 3% commission
from the manufacturers

399
00:24:40,010 --> 00:24:42,010
they're supposedly
negotiating with.

400
00:24:42,090 --> 00:24:43,640
We have a great case here.

401
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,350
Yeah, we do.

402
00:24:45,430 --> 00:24:46,850
I'm sorry, what was your name?

403
00:24:46,930 --> 00:24:48,480
Susie.

404
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,150
Would you give us
a second, please?

405
00:24:50,230 --> 00:24:52,020
Sure. I'll be right outside.

406
00:24:56,110 --> 00:24:58,780
Look. Mike, I think that
we have a great case here,

407
00:24:58,860 --> 00:25:02,830
potentially really great, but I need you
to be practical with me for a minute.

408
00:25:02,900 --> 00:25:04,530
Like hospitals
letting people die

409
00:25:04,610 --> 00:25:06,960
because Safety Point
costs five cents more?

410
00:25:07,030 --> 00:25:11,000
Mike, I'm in, all right? I'm in.
It's just that if this thing gets too big,

411
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,300
you need to let me bring in
another firm to help out.

412
00:25:13,370 --> 00:25:15,880
This thing is gonna
settle by Christmas.

413
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,840
It could drag for years. It's a monopoly
case and we're not an antitrust firm.

414
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,510
What kinda firm we wanna be, Paul?
This is gonna make us.

415
00:25:21,590 --> 00:25:23,970
It could break us.
It's gonna be extremely expensive.

416
00:25:24,050 --> 00:25:27,400
Dancort can't afford to pay us and I
can't do enough injury cases on my own.

417
00:25:27,470 --> 00:25:30,220
What do you want me to say?
I'm sorry, all right?

418
00:25:30,310 --> 00:25:32,480
I'm sorry I messed
the fucking line.

419
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,610
Mike, listen to me. I'm telling you
that we don't have the resources

420
00:25:35,690 --> 00:25:37,860
to take this thing
all the way, so please.

421
00:25:37,940 --> 00:25:41,410
I need your word that when I tell
you that the well is running dry,

422
00:25:41,490 --> 00:25:43,780
we bring in another firm
to help out, okay?

423
00:25:43,860 --> 00:25:48,290
Yeah. Yes.
Can we get to work now, please?

424
00:25:48,370 --> 00:25:50,840
Sorry.
Am I interrupting something?

425
00:25:50,910 --> 00:25:52,960

to attend the conference?

00:30:52,250 --> 00:30:53,800
I don't know, about ten years.

519
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,380
About ten years
or exactly ten years?

520
00:30:56,470 --> 00:30:58,310
We moved in there in 1986.

521
00:30:58,380 --> 00:31:00,350
That would be 12 years.

522
00:31:00,430 --> 00:31:02,770
Yeah, that sounds about right.

523
00:31:02,850 --> 00:31:06,070
Sounds right or is right?
If you moved there in 1986, that would be 12 years.

524
00:31:06,140 --> 00:31:08,360
Be polite.

525
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,060
Yes, that's right, sir.

526
00:31:11,940 --> 00:31:14,530
One moment, please.

527
00:31:14,610 --> 00:31:15,780

Oh, Shit.

Oh, fuck.

play any other sport?

talking about football?

We case here to discuss the case.
Let's discuss the case.

537
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,000
We wanted to get some simple
background information.

538
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,380
I'd like to request that my
client take a break now.

539
00:32:15,460 --> 00:32:19,430
Let the record reflect that the plaintiff's
attorney has asked for a break

540
00:32:19,510 --> 00:32:21,260
without answering the question.

541
00:32:21,340 --> 00:32:23,560
That's okay. Keep going.
Just keep going.

did you play any other...

I'm looking forward to it.

00:32:53,250 --> 00:32:54,470
Good.

Excuse me.

Where the fuck were you?

551
00:33:00,220 --> 00:33:01,560
Not here. Outside.

552
00:33:05,850 --> 00:33:08,560
And what was the name of your first
dog, Mr. Dancort?

553
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,610
Oh, well, Rufus.
And how do you spell that, Mr. Dancort?

554
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:16,360
R-U-F-U-S. And were you fond
of this dog, Mr. Dancort?

555
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,570
Not particularly. Does that mean
you dislike dogs, Mr. Dancort?

556
00:33:19,650 --> 00:33:21,950
They showed themselves today.

557
00:33:22,030 --> 00:33:25,160
They wouldn't have brought up the big
guns if they weren't scared of you.

558
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,990
Yeah, they're terrified.
Scared fucking shitless all twelve of them.

559
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,460
The reason I wasn't there today is 'cause
I was talking to a good buddy of mine.

This is attorney Mike Weiss
calling for Henry Matthews.

We don't have a Henry Matthews.
We have a Henry Mathers.

566
00:33:46,300 --> 00:33:48,480
That's what I meant.
Henry Mathers. Thank you.

567

He's not in.
Would you like his voice mail?

have you got, Mike?

Maybe you got some other
friends who can help us out.

00:34:32,310 --> 00:34:35,150
It's how these people operate.
They must've threatened the paper.

I don't know what they
did or how they did it.

I've just spent hours on the
phone dealing with my investors,

my wife, my mother. This article claims
I'm having an affair with my assistant.

with your assistant?

No.

585
00:34:49,910 --> 00:34:52,910
Then what are you worried about?
They're just trying to smear you.

586
00:34:52,990 --> 00:34:55,250
This is to be expected.

people hate your guts as possible

We are here
on plaintiff's motion

603
00:36:29,550 --> 00:36:31,470
to compel the
production of documents

604
00:36:31,550 --> 00:36:33,770
that the plaintiff
claims are necessary.

605
00:36:33,850 --> 00:36:35,850
Since the defendants
are not allowing him...

No, no, Mr. Weiss.

00:36:39,230 --> 00:36:42,320
Sorry, Your Honor.

609
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,490
It's an extraordinary large
request for production.

you have and why?

between United Medical Health
Supplies and all hospitals

00:36:56,660 --> 00:36:59,880
over the last ten years.
We feel this information will prove the GPO

615
00:36:59,950 --> 00:37:02,920
is engaged in anticompetitive
behavior, price fixing,

616
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,380
and a contract that requires
the company to buy products

617

even though they may not
be the safest available.

vs. PMI Industries,

found this information.

Mr. Price, your response.

621
00:37:14,470 --> 00:37:17,520
Judge, this is a fishing
expedition with no merit.

00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,980
To expect thousands
of pages of documents

623
00:37:20,060 --> 00:37:23,400
is unduly burdensome to my
client's time and money.

624
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,480

is not on point.

625

All purchase history of syringe
manufacturers made by the GPO

633
00:37:47,340 --> 00:37:49,930
in the past ten years.
We feel that this information proves

634
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,720
that United Medical Health
Supplies has created a monopoly

635
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,770
by buying syringe manufacturers,
then jacking up the price.

636
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,810
Your Honor, the purchase and sale of
businesses are all of public records.

637
00:37:58,890 --> 00:38:01,060
My client shouldn't have
to go through the expense.

638
00:38:01,140 --> 00:38:04,240
Your Honor, we've submitted
cases supporting our position.

639
00:38:04,310 --> 00:38:06,860
The law clearly states we're
entitled to these documents.

640
00:38:11,530 --> 00:38:15,120
All right. My decision
is as follows.

641
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,250
The court denies document
production one, two, three.

642
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,670
Your Honor, we have the right...

643
00:38:20,740 --> 00:38:23,750
Request of production 1 through 12 denied.
13, 14, 15 are firm,

644
00:38:23,830 --> 00:38:27,330
but I'm limiting production
to one year, not ten years.

645
00:38:27,420 --> 00:38:31,300
Sixteen through twenty-nine, denied.
Court adjourned.

646
00:38:33,170 --> 00:38:35,270
(Reporter) You must
be so relieved.

647
00:38:35,340 --> 00:38:37,590
We are ecstatic.
It's been three years in the making

648
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,730
and we finally
got some justice.

649
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,650
How do you suppose the jury
arrived at a $53 million verdict?

650
00:38:43,720 --> 00:38:47,350
I think the jury took that figure
from the profits the company made

651
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,660
off not putting
the safety feature on.

652
00:38:49,730 --> 00:38:53,030
They are not gonna let corporate
greed trump the value of human life.

Let's talk about the family.
We're dealing with an eight-year-old boy.

How are they doing right now?

655
00:38:58,700 --> 00:39:01,830

eight-year-old boy, he goes home with...

00:39:01,910 --> 00:39:04,500
Safety Point's a
bigger case than that.

657
00:39:04,580 --> 00:39:08,960
You know that every American will get into
at least one car accident in their lifetime?

658
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,640
You know what the biggest reason is
that people get into car accidents?

659
00:39:14,210 --> 00:39:15,810
Eating while driving?

660
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:17,800
Mm. No, that's only 49%.

passenger, 81%.

662
00:39:21,430 --> 00:39:23,520

Yeah, sure.

668
00:39:33,190 --> 00:39:35,030
Well.

669
00:39:35,110 --> 00:39:37,360
The process is one where
you fight in the courtroom

670
00:39:37,450 --> 00:39:41,700
for three weeks, and then
you've got an appeal going.

671
00:39:41,780 --> 00:39:45,130
And then we'll have that fight
and we'll win that fight.

Listen, I-I don't wanna be
here today as a law firm.

677

what I don't want.

down, and you're going down.

00:40:19,030 --> 00:40:21,700
Hardly. I have a job,
I do my job

683

and I get paid at the end
of the day either way.

863
00:51:55,020 --> 00:51:57,480
Boxing out any competition
regardless of how superior

864
00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:59,980
or how much safer
their product is.

865
00:52:00,060 --> 00:52:03,360
If Thompson Needles is gonna come out
with a safe needle they'd have to retool,

866
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,940
recast the molding. They'd have to
replace their entire assembly line.

867
00:52:07,030 --> 00:52:10,700
Something they're not interested in doing
because of the high upfront costs.

868
00:52:10,780 --> 00:52:13,130
Hm. Ingenious.

869
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,830
This is a
tremendous innovation.

870
00:52:15,910 --> 00:52:20,920
As you know, I've been addressing safety
issues for hospital workers for years.

871
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,050
I'm intrigued by your product, Mr.
Dancort, to say the least...

872
00:52:24,130 --> 00:52:26,850
Thank you.

873
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:30,050
This is a bill proposal mandating
the use of sound needles.

874
00:52:30,130 --> 00:52:32,140
We're in the process of
circulating a petition

875
00:52:32,220 --> 00:52:34,970
in every single hospital
across the United States,

876
00:52:35,060 --> 00:52:38,530
so we can mobilize nurses' unions
an associations to help you lobby.

877
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:41,440
Right. We have some interest
from some financial institutions

878
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:43,740
regarding investment packages,

879
00:52:43,810 --> 00:52:47,940
and we're gonna try and get them in
every hospital across the country.

880
00:52:48,030 --> 00:52:53,330
Senator, you're giving us the
impetus to safe thousands of lives.

881
00:52:59,910 --> 00:53:02,420
Incredible.
That was incredible.

882
00:53:02,500 --> 00:53:03,840
Great job.

883
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:05,920
I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

884
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:07,930
Are you happy?

885
00:53:13,720 --> 00:53:17,140
Excuse me, Mr. Weiss.
Could I speak with you for just a second?

886
00:53:17,220 --> 00:53:18,470
Yeah.

887
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:22,690
Senator.

888
00:53:22,770 --> 00:53:24,990
Mr. Weiss.

889
00:53:25,060 --> 00:53:28,860
I wanted to let you know how much I
appreciate you and your colleagues

890
00:53:28,940 --> 00:53:31,910
bringing this to my attention.

891
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:38,040
As I said, the safety and
well-being of health care workers

892
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,710
has been high on my
agenda from day one,

893
00:53:40,790 --> 00:53:45,790
and we also agree that urgent
action is what is called for.

894
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,720
That's great. It's...

895
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:52,270
it's just-it's good to meet someone who
is on board to fight the good fight.

896
00:53:52,340 --> 00:53:54,310
It would be an honor
to offer my support,

897
00:53:54,380 --> 00:53:57,140
but only if you drop this case

898
00:53:57,220 --> 00:54:00,720
and let Mr. Dancort
team up with another firm.

899
00:54:07,060 --> 00:54:10,360
The cocaine under your nose.

900
00:54:16,030 --> 00:54:17,370
That's, um...

901
00:54:23,750 --> 00:54:26,220
I 'm not judging you, Mike.

902
00:54:26,290 --> 00:54:29,840
You're not the first person to lobby
a Senator hopped up on narcotics

903
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:32,590
and I'm sure you're not even the
first person to do so today,

904
00:54:32,670 --> 00:54:36,300
but there's absolutely no way we can
put you before the House Committee

905
00:54:36,380 --> 00:54:38,560
let alone the Senate.

906
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:40,390
Wait, just...

907
00:54:47,810 --> 00:54:51,360
My client has approached every law firm in Texas.
They've all said no.

908
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:53,910
He's broke.

909
00:54:53,990 --> 00:54:55,360
This is...

910
00:54:57,660 --> 00:54:59,880
This is a major antitrust case.

911
00:54:59,950 --> 00:55:02,620
You know the type of money and
muscle that goes into it.

912
00:55:02,700 --> 00:55:04,920
Mr. Dancort does
not have the money

913
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,750
to sit across from the receptionist
at some of these firms.

914
00:55:07,830 --> 00:55:12,800
My partner and I are the only ones
who are willing to take this risk.

915
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:15,600
We believe in this case.

916
00:55:15,670 --> 00:55:17,800
We believe in it.

917
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:25,560
Give me a chance.

918
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:28,900
I'll go back to Houston.
I'll get myself cleaned up.

919
00:55:32,860 --> 00:55:35,330
Okay.

920
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:38,160
But know this.

921
00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:41,080
You only get one chance.
Don't fuck it up.

922
00:55:44,620 --> 00:55:46,710
Understood.

923
00:55:48,620 --> 00:55:51,000
They're talking to
fucking Senators now.

924
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:55,260
They're knocking on doors,
chickens with their heads cut off.

925
00:55:55,340 --> 00:55:58,680
We need to fix
this now, Nathaniel.

926
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:00,180
I'll take care of it.

927
00:56:00,260 --> 00:56:02,350
They're losing patience.

928
00:56:02,430 --> 00:56:05,730
I just need a bit more time.

929
00:56:05,810 --> 00:56:07,730
I'll try.

930
00:56:07,810 --> 00:56:11,110
But you need to hurry.

931
00:56:11,190 --> 00:56:13,910
Or it's not gonna
be good for any of us.

932
00:56:48,810 --> 00:56:50,610
[Whispers] This is
a waste of time.

933
00:56:50,690 --> 00:56:52,150
Mike.

934
00:56:52,230 --> 00:56:54,280
Show some respect, huh?

935
00:56:57,940 --> 00:57:01,450
I'll show some respect by winning the
case that put her in the ground.

936
00:57:02,740 --> 00:57:04,330
Fuck this.

937
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:13,090
[Engine won't rev]

938
00:57:13,170 --> 00:57:14,920
Fuck.

939
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:16,970
Come on.

940
00:57:17,050 --> 00:57:18,840
[Engine won't rev]

941
00:57:21,050 --> 00:57:23,100
[kicking]

942
00:57:43,740 --> 00:57:45,660
[clears throat]

943
00:57:50,700 --> 00:57:52,050
[clears throat]

944

[engine starts]

945
00:58:31,790 --> 00:58:33,460
[clears throat]

946
00:58:35,170 --> 00:58:37,510
The reason you...

947
00:58:37,580 --> 00:58:40,840
The reason why you should invest in
Safety Point is because it's safe

948
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:44,020
and it's affective.
It's a life saving...

949
00:58:44,090 --> 00:58:48,470
it's a life saving device.
It's a life saving device.

950
00:58:48,550 --> 00:58:50,560
It's a life saving device.

951
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:52,310
Your involvement...

952
00:58:54,730 --> 00:58:56,440
Are you all right, Mike?

953
00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:58,400
Yeah, I'm fine.

954
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:00,200
You want something?

955
00:59:24,300 --> 00:59:26,970
I was always more of a
tinkerer than a businessman.

956
00:59:27,050 --> 00:59:29,680
It's how I thought
about myself anyway.

957
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:33,060
My first office was in the
corner of a bicycle shop.

958
00:59:33,140 --> 00:59:36,890
My first customer was an amputee
with an artificial leg.

959
00:59:38,230 --> 00:59:40,360
Hi. Good evening.

960
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:43,410
I'm Paul Danzinger, and, uh,
I'd like to welcome you

961
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,700
on behalf of my partner,
Michael Weiss,

962
00:59:45,780 --> 00:59:48,950
and of course the man who really
brought us all together tonight,

963
00:59:49,030 --> 00:59:51,530
Mr. Jeffrey Dancort.

964
00:59:51,620 --> 00:59:55,000
[Weak applause]

965
01:00:14,390 --> 01:00:17,610
I've been doing this
a long time, you know.

966
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:20,360
Long, long, long time.

967
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:23,690
And what I've come to realize is
that there's just people out there

968
01:00:23,770 --> 01:00:26,700
that all they wanna
do is fuck you up.

969
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:31,910
Right. You know what
I'm talking about.

970
01:00:31,990 --> 01:00:34,580
So, on this one I just
decided to say fuck it.

971
01:00:34,660 --> 01:00:39,460
'Cause you know what?
A good idea is a good idea.

972
01:00:39,540 --> 01:00:42,340
We're talking about
people 's lives here.

973
01:00:42,420 --> 01:00:45,550
Saving people's lives.

974
01:00:45,630 --> 01:00:50,130
This girl is dead because of
what we're talking about here.

975
01:00:50,220 --> 01:00:53,270
So, who gives a shit
about the bottom line?

976
01:00:53,340 --> 01:00:55,640
Well, I'll tell you
who gives a shit.

977
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:58,770
The goddamn miserable
sorry ass motherfuckers

978
01:00:58,850 --> 01:01:01,600
who won't let the
hospitals use my needle.

979
01:01:01,690 --> 01:01:04,820
None of us in here might
even make ever a dime.

980
01:01:04,900 --> 01:01:07,240
The point is,

981
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:11,620
that it's... The point
is Safety Point.

982
01:01:11,700 --> 01:01:13,740
[chuckles]

983
01:01:13,820 --> 01:01:16,620
And I want you all to

984
01:01:16,700 --> 01:01:18,290
think about helping us out.

985
01:01:18,370 --> 01:01:21,620
It's just a good thing
to be part of and...

986
01:01:21,710 --> 01:01:24,260
Thanks for being here.

987
01:01:24,330 --> 01:01:26,010
Good night.

988
01:01:27,670 --> 01:01:30,590
Thank you very much
for coming and...

989
01:01:30,670 --> 01:01:32,800
[knocking on door]

990
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,480
[groans]

991
01:01:35,550 --> 01:01:37,270
[panting]

992
01:01:43,190 --> 01:01:45,310
How are you doing, Mike?

993
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:47,690
I'm sorry.

994
01:01:50,940 --> 01:01:52,540
Oh, Shit, Mike.

995
01:01:52,610 --> 01:01:55,580
[Panting]

996
01:01:55,660 --> 01:01:58,460
People don't bring
checkbooks to these things.

997
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:02,290
I can't do this any more.

998
01:02:03,790 --> 01:02:07,220
Paul, let's go home.

999
01:02:07,290 --> 01:02:09,640
[Cell phone ringing]

1000
01:02:17,260 --> 01:02:19,140
Hey, Sylvia.

1001
01:02:19,220 --> 01:02:21,690
Call ahead and tell them I
need an anesthesiologist.

1002
01:02:21,770 --> 01:02:25,440
Put naltrexone on.
And I want the full treatment.

1003
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:28,110
I want the implant
under the abdomen.

1004
01:02:28,190 --> 01:02:31,280
Not the posterior...
Not the posterior rear.

1005
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:34,860
I don't want anything in my
ass that doesn't have to be.

1006
01:02:34,950 --> 01:02:37,500
[Siren blaring]

1007

Collapsed veins, infection of the heart
lining and valves,

few abscesses.
The beginning of liver disease.

1009
01:02:44,250 --> 01:02:48,050
Minor pulmonary complications and
what could be the start of pneumonia.

1010
01:02:48,130 --> 01:02:49,840
Christ.

1011
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:52,470
Typical.
He's going through withdrawal.

1012
01:02:52,550 --> 01:02:54,930
I had no idea. I mean, I...

1013
01:02:55,010 --> 01:02:57,760
I know he's taking some
painpills for his leg,

1014
01:02:57,840 --> 01:02:59,270
but I didn't...

1015
01:02:59,350 --> 01:03:02,140
He's a pretty heavy user.

1016
01:03:02,220 --> 01:03:05,020
I guess the good thing
I reactivated the insurance.

1017
01:03:05,100 --> 01:03:08,950
By the way, the treatment he
requested is gonna run about 25,000,

1018
01:03:09,020 --> 01:03:13,240
and it's not covered by insurance.
Just a heads up.

1019
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:14,940
Great.

1020
01:03:32,380 --> 01:03:34,630

Hey.

1023
01:04:00,490 --> 01:04:01,960
Hey. You got my clothes?

1024

Yeah.

1025
01:04:04,540 --> 01:04:08,290
Whoa. Hey, don't you want me to get someone
to checkout? I'm gonna find a nurse.

1026
01:04:08,370 --> 01:04:11,340
That's a great idea.
We're always underestimating nurses.

1027
01:04:11,420 --> 01:04:13,670
I'll be right
with you, Mr. Weiss.

1028
01:04:13,750 --> 01:04:17,010
You wouldn't happen to be a member of
the nursing association, would you?

health care workers in protest.

President of the Texas Nurse...

Every needle stick accident costs the hospital
thousands of dollars in follow up testing.

1033

If it's with an infected needle, it's
between 500,000 and $1 million per case.

In this country there are roughly one
million needle stick accidents a year.

1035
01:04:39,740 --> 01:04:41,910
Think about that.
You do the math.

1036
01:04:41,990 --> 01:04:44,870
We're fighting for the right of
every citizen to live in a country

1037
01:04:44,950 --> 01:04:46,870
that values human
life over profits.

1038
01:04:46,950 --> 01:04:48,380
Mr. Weiss, the hospital...

1039
01:05:02,260 --> 01:05:04,140
Senator O'Reilly's office.

1040
01:05:04,220 --> 01:05:06,520
This is attorney Mike
Weiss for the Senator.

1041
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:09,230
Hi, Mr. Weiss. She just ended a meeting.
Can I take a message?

1042
01:05:09,310 --> 01:05:10,690
Sure.

1043
01:05:10,770 --> 01:05:14,360
[Machine whirring]

1044
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:17,360
Why are these here?
They were supposed to go out yesterday.

1045
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:19,280
They sent it back.

1046
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:21,610
What the hell is that?
I thought we had a contract.

1047
01:05:21,700 --> 01:05:23,990
Tell the Senator to return
my call as soon as possible.

1048
01:05:24,070 --> 01:05:26,580
It's regarding the San
Antonio Memorial Hospital

1049
01:05:26,660 --> 01:05:29,750
canceling their contract
with Safety Point Syringes.

1050
01:05:29,830 --> 01:05:32,250
The CEO of San Antonio
Memorial hospital

1051
01:05:32,330 --> 01:05:36,300
has been invited to sit on the board
of United Medical Health Supplies.

1052
01:05:36,380 --> 01:05:39,760
Yeah, you think she'd like to hear
that in the news or return my call?

1053
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:42,840
Please, have her call me back.
This is attorney Mike Weiss.

1054
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:52,690
I'm about to book a flight to DC.
This is bullshit.

1055
01:05:52,770 --> 01:05:56,070
The Senator's chief aid called this morning.
She's tabling the issue.

1056
01:05:56,150 --> 01:05:58,020
Tabling the issue?

1057
01:05:58,110 --> 01:06:00,990
What the fuck does that mean?
I'm going down there.

1058
01:06:01,070 --> 01:06:04,160
United Medical Health Supplies just
made a very generous contribution

1059
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:06,740
to the Senator's
reelection campaign.

1060
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:18,550
What's this?

1061
01:06:18,630 --> 01:06:21,720
Kim gave birth last
night to a baby girl.

1062
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:23,800
Six pounds, eight ounces.

1063
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:26,980
Sam. She's beautiful.

1064
01:06:27,050 --> 01:06:30,100
Congratulations.

1065
01:06:30,180 --> 01:06:32,480
I'll be home with
them if you need me.

1066
01:06:34,100 --> 01:06:36,520
What are we gonna do
about the Senator?

1067
01:08:09,660 --> 01:08:11,530
[Telephone ringing]

1068
01:08:11,620 --> 01:08:13,370
Nicole Morris, sex therapist.

1069
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:44,230
I like sex therapy.

1070
01:08:44,320 --> 01:08:45,990
[Inhales]

1071
01:08:56,700 --> 01:08:58,550
[muffled voice]
Nice to meet you.

1072
01:09:13,470 --> 01:09:17,690
She creeps me the fuck out.

1073
01:09:17,770 --> 01:09:19,980
I should say something, right?

1074
01:09:20,060 --> 01:09:21,440
Probably.

1075
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:23,900
You wanna be the one?

1076
01:09:23,980 --> 01:09:25,280
No.

1077
01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:27,700
Me neither.

1078
01:09:27,780 --> 01:09:30,950
Oh, hey, thanks for being
flexible attending the case.

1079
01:09:31,030 --> 01:09:33,410
I 'm a little behind.

1080
01:09:33,490 --> 01:09:36,580
It's okay.
You don't have to worry about it.

1081
01:09:36,660 --> 01:09:40,000
I know. I'm just gonna check a few
facts and then I'll get it to you.

1082
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:42,330
No, I mean, we don't need
it from you any more.

1083
01:09:42,420 --> 01:09:47,170
Look, I didn't... I didn't wanna
bring this up here but...

1084
01:09:49,090 --> 01:09:52,310
I'm really sorry.
My firm won't let me subcontract

1085
01:09:52,380 --> 01:09:54,180
any more work to you guys.

1086
01:09:54,260 --> 01:09:56,850
Not while you're working
on the Safety Point case.

1087
01:09:56,930 --> 01:09:58,850
Are you serious?

1088
01:10:00,430 --> 01:10:02,030
I'm sorry.

1089
01:10:02,100 --> 01:10:05,480
I mean, you can
keep the retainer.

1090
01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:07,860
I wish there was something
else I could do, but...

1091
01:10:07,940 --> 01:10:10,070
I understand.

1092
01:10:10,150 --> 01:10:11,620
[Cell phone rings]

1093
01:10:11,690 --> 01:10:13,240
Excuse me.

1094
01:10:14,990 --> 01:10:17,460
I'm not sure that's
gonna work for us.

1095
01:10:17,530 --> 01:10:19,040
Well, yeah, I don't...

1096
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:23,340
Okay.

1097
01:10:23,410 --> 01:10:25,880
Let me talk it over with
my partner and my client.

1098
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:28,210
I'll get back
to you in an hour.

1099
01:10:28,290 --> 01:10:31,050
All right.

1100
01:10:31,130 --> 01:10:35,060
That was Price. He wants us to
come out to his house tomorrow.

1101
01:10:35,130 --> 01:10:38,180
His house? Why?

1102
01:10:38,260 --> 01:10:41,810
You said that we'd settle by Christmas.
Maybe you're right.

1103
01:10:44,940 --> 01:10:46,860
I gotta call Dancort.

1104
01:11:00,330 --> 01:11:02,700
(Sylvia) Mike!

1105
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:13,130
Hand me that bag.

1106
01:11:16,010 --> 01:11:17,430
Mike, come on.

1107
01:11:17,510 --> 01:11:20,010
Just give me the fucking bag!

1108
01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:56,970
Gentlemen.
Thanks for coming out.

1109
01:11:57,050 --> 01:11:59,850
Give me a few minutes to wash up.
I'll be right with you.

1110
01:11:59,930 --> 01:12:02,230
Stephanie will show you
the way to the library.

1111
01:12:02,300 --> 01:12:05,060
If you need anything, she'll be
happy to get it for you, okay?

1112
01:12:09,980 --> 01:12:11,900
Right this way, gentlemen.

1113
01:12:13,610 --> 01:12:16,660
Dial nine if you need
to get an outside line.

1114
01:12:16,740 --> 01:12:18,990
And I'll be just down the
hall there to the left

1115
01:12:19,070 --> 01:12:21,620
if there's anything else I
can do for you gentlemen.

1116
01:12:21,700 --> 01:12:23,000
We're fine, thank you.

1117
01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:24,450
Great.

1118
01:12:24,540 --> 01:12:26,500
You got any fresh
squeezed juice?

1119
01:12:26,580 --> 01:12:28,250
Uh, I can check.

1120
01:12:28,330 --> 01:12:30,750
Orange is fine.
Grapefruit is preferable.

1121
01:12:30,830 --> 01:12:33,010
I'll see what I can do.

1122
01:12:33,090 --> 01:12:35,680

1123
01:12:35,750 --> 01:12:37,510

to fucking wait?

01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:07,210
Mm. Okay.

1130
01:13:07,290 --> 01:13:09,630
Let's get down to business.

1131
01:13:11,420 --> 01:13:13,540
First of all,

1132
01:13:13,630 --> 01:13:16,510
thank you for coming all the way out here.
It's much appreciated.

1133
01:13:16,590 --> 01:13:18,810
Now, putting aside

1134
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:22,180
the fact that Safety Point Syringes
is having financial difficulties,

1135
01:13:22,260 --> 01:13:24,980
one of our manufacturing clients
is ready to put an offer

1136
01:13:25,050 --> 01:13:27,400
for it which I think you're
gonna find satisfactory.

1137
01:13:27,470 --> 01:13:30,600
Where 's that girl?
The girl that showed us in?

1138
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:32,400
I'm not sure, Mr. Weiss.

1139
01:13:32,480 --> 01:13:34,200
Waiting on some juice.

1140
01:13:34,270 --> 01:13:36,620
I'm sure she'll bring it
when she can.

1141
01:13:36,690 --> 01:13:39,940
Like I said, one of our manufacturing
clients is interested in your company

1142
01:13:40,030 --> 01:13:42,450
and the needle and has
been for quite some time.

1143
01:13:42,530 --> 01:13:46,580
This generous manufacturer wouldn't
happen to be Thompson Needles, would it?

1144
01:13:46,660 --> 01:13:51,090
They would like to remain anonymous
until there's an accepted offer.

1145
01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:54,540
And this anonymous client would then
own the patent to Safety Point?

1146
01:13:54,630 --> 01:13:57,600
That's right. My client is
interested in purchasing the equity

1147
01:13:57,670 --> 01:13:59,970
that comes from Safety
Point Syringes.

1148
01:14:00,050 --> 01:14:03,270
Would there be a contractual provision
guaranteeing a certain production

1149
01:14:03,340 --> 01:14:05,390
and distribution of the
Safety Point Syringe?

1150
01:14:05,470 --> 01:14:08,390
Once my client purchases
Safety Point Syringes,

1151
01:14:08,470 --> 01:14:11,270
they'll have the right to
do with it as they see fit.

1152
01:14:11,350 --> 01:14:14,780
And what do they see fit?

1153
01:14:14,850 --> 01:14:16,780
Mr. Dancort,

1154
01:14:16,860 --> 01:14:20,860
my client is prepared to make
a more than generous offer.

1155
01:14:20,940 --> 01:14:24,370
This is great. You know your
client is in direct violation

1156
01:14:24,450 --> 01:14:26,950
and federal and state
antitrust laws.

1157
01:14:27,030 --> 01:14:30,540
You damn well know you won't win
this case if you go to trial.

1158
01:14:32,410 --> 01:14:35,630
You are a brilliant
engineer, Mr. Dancort.

1159
01:14:35,710 --> 01:14:38,710
Try applying some of that
towards your business sense.

1160
01:14:38,790 --> 01:14:42,300
I didn't sacrifice everything because
I was looking for a big payday.

1161
01:14:42,380 --> 01:14:45,260
I just want my needles
in those hospitals.

1162
01:14:45,340 --> 01:14:47,600
I'm sorry, Mr.
Dancort. I truly am.

1163
01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:51,560
I won't take any pleasure
in seeing you ruined.

1164
01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:54,940
That proposal is only
valid for three days.

1165
01:14:55,020 --> 01:14:57,020
No amendments, no negotiation.

1166
01:14:57,100 --> 01:14:59,950
Now, gentlemen, I have taken
up enough of your Saturday.

1167
01:15:00,020 --> 01:15:03,450
Stephanie will see you out.
I look forward to your response.

1168
01:15:49,570 --> 01:15:51,000
We have to take it.

1169
01:15:51,070 --> 01:15:52,580
Excuse me?

1170
01:15:52,660 --> 01:15:55,080
The offer. We have
to take the money.

1171
01:15:55,160 --> 01:15:56,910
What do you mean?

1172
01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:59,170
That offer at Dancort
Is not fair.

1173
01:15:59,250 --> 01:16:02,130
They made the offer 'cause they know
they can't win. They're scared.

1174
01:16:02,210 --> 01:16:03,880
They're not scared, Mike.

1175
01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:05,680
They're scared we'll
take it to trial.

1176
01:16:16,060 --> 01:16:18,780
Do you even really care

1177
01:16:18,850 --> 01:16:22,950
if Safety Point needles
end up in hospitals?

1178
01:16:23,020 --> 01:16:25,700
No, seriously, I-I'm
asking you a question.

1179
01:16:25,780 --> 01:16:28,070
Do I care? Yes.
People are dying.

1180
01:16:28,150 --> 01:16:30,500
7'haz"s what you care about?
People dying?

1181
01:16:30,570 --> 01:16:32,290
Really?

1182
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:35,880
We're taking the settlement.

1183
01:16:35,950 --> 01:16:38,460
No, we're not.

1184
01:16:38,540 --> 01:16:41,590
You want Dancort to walk away from
millions of dollars, and then what?

1185
01:16:41,670 --> 01:16:44,590
What happens to him when we
go to court years from now

1186
01:16:44,670 --> 01:16:46,890
and he's lost his
business and his house?

1187
01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:49,760
And then, then after all
that we lose the case?

1188
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:51,090
We won't lose the case.

1189
01:16:51,180 --> 01:16:52,890
Okay, fine, we don't lose.

1190
01:16:52,970 --> 01:16:55,270
How do you want us
to survive until then, Mike?

1191
01:16:55,350 --> 01:16:57,820
We are broke. Broke, broke.

1192
01:16:57,890 --> 01:17:00,310
We have three weeks of overhead left
In the bank.

1193
01:17:00,390 --> 01:17:03,150
United Medical Health Supplies
has pretty much paid off

1194
01:17:03,230 --> 01:17:07,280
or pressured everyone in the United States
of America from giving us any new work!

1195
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:10,610
How are you gonna go and rally
people behind Jeffrey in court

1196
01:17:10,700 --> 01:17:15,450
when you don't have a phone to call
them and to tell them where to show up?

1197
01:17:15,530 --> 01:17:17,380
I'm ending this...

1198
01:17:17,450 --> 01:17:19,830
I'm not ending shit.
I'll take a loan on my house.

1199
01:17:19,910 --> 01:17:21,880
You are so fucking delusional.

1200
01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:24,460
You're a big fucking pussy
who'd rather chase ambulances

1201
01:17:24,540 --> 01:17:26,090
