1
00:00:01,250 --> 00:00:03,208
‐ Call notes are starting
to come in that patients

2
00:00:03,208 --> 00:00:04,875
are showing signs
of addiction.

3
00:00:04,875 --> 00:00:07,458
Anecdotes about abuse
are not a scientific analysis

4
00:00:07,458 --> 00:00:08,917
of the drug's safety,

5
00:00:08,917 --> 00:00:10,458
so until you can prove
the drug is dangerous,

6
00:00:10,458 --> 00:00:12,167
I don't see how we can
put restrictions on it.

7
00:00:12,167 --> 00:00:15,208
‐ I want to look
into launching OC in Germany,

8
00:00:15,208 --> 00:00:17,208
under a relaxed status.

9
00:00:17,208 --> 00:00:19,375
‐ I had a doctor tell me
he had two patients

10
00:00:19,375 --> 00:00:21,167
taking way more pills
than he prescribed.

11
00:00:21,167 --> 00:00:23,208
‐ If people are suffering,

12
00:00:23,208 --> 00:00:26,208
they need a higher dose.

13
00:00:26,208 --> 00:00:27,792
‐ It is really difficult
to find anything

14
00:00:27,792 --> 00:00:29,167
without the proper resources.

15
00:00:29,167 --> 00:00:32,125
‐ Guys, I get it, trust me.
We'll just keep pushing.

16
00:00:32,125 --> 00:00:35,417
‐ You sell poison, Billy.
‐ Doc, any‐‐

17
00:00:35,417 --> 00:00:37,042
Everyone in this room
is here

18
00:00:37,042 --> 00:00:38,375
because we're very concerned
for your health.

19
00:00:38,375 --> 00:00:41,208
Will you commit to a program?

20
00:01:24,625 --> 00:01:29,792
‐ Is there a specific flower
you'd like for the service?

21
00:01:29,792 --> 00:01:32,875
‐ Pink silk roses.

22
00:01:32,875 --> 00:01:37,583
They were
my daughter's favorite.

23
00:01:37,583 --> 00:01:39,333
And please mention what
a wonderful mother

24
00:01:39,333 --> 00:01:42,667
she was to Brian.

25
00:01:42,667 --> 00:01:46,583
She loved him so much.

26
00:01:46,583 --> 00:01:48,500
Didn't she, sweetie?

27
00:01:48,500 --> 00:01:51,667
‐ Mommy changed
after taking that pill.

28
00:01:51,667 --> 00:01:53,083
‐ What pill?

29
00:01:53,083 --> 00:01:56,375
‐ Oxy.
She was weepy all the time.

30
00:02:08,750 --> 00:02:12,167
No, no, no, no.
Something isn't right here.

31
00:02:12,167 --> 00:02:13,875
My daughter was healthy, okay?

32
00:02:13,875 --> 00:02:16,625
The medical board needs
to look into Purdue‐‐

33
00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:21,792
Yes, this is Marianne Skolick
for the U.S. Attorney.

34
00:02:21,792 --> 00:02:23,958
Yes, I'm very aware
what time it is.

35
00:02:23,958 --> 00:02:27,750
I have done all my research.
Tell him to call me back!

36
00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:30,000
Please direct anyone at the FDA

37
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,208
to my new website
oxydeaths.com.

38
00:02:32,208 --> 00:02:34,625
There's tons of information
in there about Purdue Pharma

39
00:02:34,625 --> 00:02:36,167
and their crimes
against humanity.

40
00:02:36,167 --> 00:02:37,500
Thank you, ma'am.
We'll look into it.

41
00:02:45,917 --> 00:02:47,792
Ms. Skolick?

42
00:02:47,792 --> 00:02:49,292
‐ Yes?

43
00:02:49,292 --> 00:02:51,042
Hello.
Uh...

44
00:02:51,042 --> 00:02:52,542
I'm Rick Mountcastle,

45
00:02:52,542 --> 00:02:55,333
Assistant U.S. Attorney
in Virginia,

46
00:02:55,333 --> 00:02:58,125
and I'd like to speak to you
about Purdue Pharma.

47
00:03:01,875 --> 00:03:03,583
Ms. Skolick?

48
00:03:03,583 --> 00:03:05,583
‐ Yes, yes, I'm here.

49
00:03:05,583 --> 00:03:09,958
Sorry, just surprised.

50
00:03:09,958 --> 00:03:12,958
You're the first person
to ever call me back.

51
00:03:20,167 --> 00:03:24,292
‐ This, uh‐‐this back injury
just keeps flaring up, doc.

52
00:03:24,292 --> 00:03:26,042
You think you could
write a script for me?

53
00:03:26,042 --> 00:03:27,833
I'm only in Tennessee
for a couple of days.

54
00:03:27,833 --> 00:03:29,167
It's an old back injury.

55
00:03:29,167 --> 00:03:31,083
Think you could write
a script for me?

56
00:03:31,083 --> 00:03:32,792
I'm only here in Kentucky
for a couple days.

57
00:03:32,792 --> 00:03:34,667
Lower back, you think you
could write a script for me?

58
00:03:34,667 --> 00:03:36,417
I'm only here in North Carolina
for a couple days.

59
00:03:36,417 --> 00:03:39,250
That's it.
Separate those greens.

60
00:03:39,250 --> 00:03:41,708
‐ I think I burned out
Stone Gap Pharmacy.

61
00:03:41,708 --> 00:03:43,208
They're getting suspicious.

62
00:03:43,208 --> 00:03:46,292
‐ Yeah, hey.

63
00:03:46,292 --> 00:03:50,625
Go to Knoxville
for these.

64
00:03:50,625 --> 00:03:52,208
Be good to keep
a little distance.

65
00:03:52,208 --> 00:03:53,375
‐ You bet.

66
00:03:53,375 --> 00:03:56,167
‐ Maybe that would...

67
00:03:56,167 --> 00:03:59,708
Hey, how's Sue's cough?
That ginger and sugar work out?

68
00:03:59,708 --> 00:04:02,958
‐ Oh, like a charm!
It's pretty much gone.

69
00:04:02,958 --> 00:04:04,583
She's‐‐she's feeling
much better.

70
00:04:04,583 --> 00:04:06,708
She still hates
your guts, though.

71
00:04:06,708 --> 00:04:09,167
‐ Tell her
that makes two of us.

72
00:04:11,208 --> 00:04:12,250
This is a lot of work

73
00:04:12,250 --> 00:04:15,500
to keep us
from getting dopesick.

74
00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:17,583
What are you up to per day now?

75
00:04:17,583 --> 00:04:19,250
‐ 400 mg.

76
00:05:08,125 --> 00:05:09,625
Welcome back.

77
00:05:12,625 --> 00:05:16,333
Pearls, huh?

78
00:05:16,333 --> 00:05:19,208
Uh‐huh.

79
00:05:19,208 --> 00:05:22,333
All right, let's see.

80
00:05:26,875 --> 00:05:29,000
120.

81
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,000
You know what, for a pretty
little thing like you, though,

82
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,333
I could do another 30

83
00:05:34,333 --> 00:05:37,042
if you want to come on back
to the back room.

84
00:05:39,333 --> 00:05:41,500
What do you think?

85
00:05:44,500 --> 00:05:46,083
‐ Uh...

86
00:05:46,083 --> 00:05:48,458
‐ Come on.

87
00:05:58,125 --> 00:06:00,083
Good.

88
00:06:03,375 --> 00:06:09,292
In 1997, we sold
one million prescriptions.

89
00:06:09,292 --> 00:06:14,583
And in just two years,
we have tripled our sales.

90
00:06:14,583 --> 00:06:19,083
If we continue as projected,
I believe OxyContin could soon

91
00:06:19,083 --> 00:06:23,042
become Purdue's
first billion‐dollar drug.

92
00:06:23,042 --> 00:06:26,083
‐ Is that so?
How soon?

93
00:06:26,083 --> 00:06:28,167
Less than three years.

94
00:06:28,167 --> 00:06:32,042
And to cross
into this threshold,

95
00:06:32,042 --> 00:06:36,667
I think it necessary
to make a key move.

96
00:06:36,667 --> 00:06:40,125
We will soon be releasing

97
00:06:40,125 --> 00:06:44,000
a 160‐milligram tablet.

98
00:06:45,458 --> 00:06:47,042
Mort?

99
00:06:47,042 --> 00:06:50,208
‐ Since sales are increasing
at such a fast rate,

100
00:06:50,208 --> 00:06:51,458
wouldn't this be a good time

101
00:06:51,458 --> 00:06:53,208
to start
distributing larger profits

102
00:06:53,208 --> 00:06:55,125
to A shares and B shares?

103
00:06:55,125 --> 00:06:56,542
‐ Ah, yes,

104
00:06:56,542 --> 00:06:59,000
greedy little piggies
want their money right away.

105
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,375
Since you've sat on your ass

106
00:07:00,375 --> 00:07:01,917
and done nothing to make
any of this happen,

107
00:07:01,917 --> 00:07:03,458
I completely understand
while you feel so entitled.

108
00:07:03,458 --> 00:07:04,750
I demand
an apology from B shares.

109
00:07:04,750 --> 00:07:06,375
‐ That is an
outrageous accusation.

110
00:07:06,375 --> 00:07:08,750
‐ You'll get that‐‐you'll get
that when Hell freezes over.

111
00:07:08,750 --> 00:07:10,333
Please, gentlemen.
‐ Please!

112
00:07:10,333 --> 00:07:13,667
‐ Gentlemen, please, please,
I want to assure

113
00:07:13,667 --> 00:07:17,375
A shares and B shares
there will soon be

114
00:07:17,375 --> 00:07:21,333
the largest profits
this company has ever seen.

115
00:07:21,333 --> 00:07:27,833
But in order to get us
across that finish line,

116
00:07:27,833 --> 00:07:33,375
I think it's time we rethink
our leadership structure.

117
00:07:33,375 --> 00:07:34,792
‐ How so?

118
00:07:34,792 --> 00:07:38,375
‐ I believe, if I were
named president of Purdue,

119
00:07:38,375 --> 00:07:40,625
I could cut through any type

120
00:07:40,625 --> 00:07:44,042
of red tape
or family dissension

121
00:07:44,042 --> 00:07:49,667
and create billions
in profits every single year.

122
00:07:49,667 --> 00:07:53,708
But of course, it would
require a majority vote

123
00:07:53,708 --> 00:07:58,250
in both A shares and B shares.

124
00:08:12,667 --> 00:08:16,875
‐ Oh, that's a good one,
Richie.

125
00:08:16,875 --> 00:08:19,083
That's really good!

126
00:08:22,292 --> 00:08:25,708
You are out
of your fucking mind!

127
00:08:30,375 --> 00:08:33,375
‐ You're being ridiculous,
truly.

128
00:08:36,708 --> 00:08:41,708
‐ Just let it go.
It's not worth the fight.

129
00:08:51,958 --> 00:08:54,958
‐ I understand, but we sent
in the request six weeks ago.

130
00:08:54,958 --> 00:08:58,833
Yes, I'm sure we sent it
to your department.

131
00:08:58,833 --> 00:09:01,125
Don't pass me off.
Hello?

132
00:09:01,125 --> 00:09:03,125
Come on.

133
00:09:06,458 --> 00:09:10,583
‐ Y'all go wash up for dinner.

134
00:09:10,583 --> 00:09:14,917
‐ Hey, hey.

135
00:09:14,917 --> 00:09:17,667
‐ The kids are starting to ask
why you're gone so much.

136
00:09:20,625 --> 00:09:22,875
‐ I'm doing the best I can.

137
00:09:37,625 --> 00:09:40,500
‐ Morning, everyone.

138
00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:44,125
Morning, Sharon.
How's the financials looking?

139
00:09:44,125 --> 00:09:47,375
‐ Deceitful, confusing,
unwieldy, fraudulent.

140
00:09:47,375 --> 00:09:50,042
You know, just another day
with Purdue Pharma.

141
00:09:50,042 --> 00:09:51,667
‐ Morning.
He's in a mood today.

142
00:09:51,667 --> 00:09:53,708
‐ Oh, yeah, what time
did he come in this morning?

143
00:09:53,708 --> 00:09:55,625
‐ Usual,00 a.m.

144
00:09:55,625 --> 00:09:57,833
might be more chill
if he got some sleep.

145
00:09:57,833 --> 00:09:59,458
Why's he always
come in so early?

146
00:09:59,458 --> 00:10:00,958
‐ He always faxes Purdue

147
00:10:00,958 --> 00:10:02,708
between- 00 and- 00
in the morning.

148
00:10:02,708 --> 00:10:04,333
That way, they think
we got people working

149
00:10:04,333 --> 00:10:05,625
on this around the clock.

150
00:10:05,625 --> 00:10:07,000
‐ Oh.

151
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,833
‐ Yeah, he does it
on the weekends, too.

152
00:10:13,750 --> 00:10:16,042
‐ I got sprinkles.

153
00:10:16,042 --> 00:10:19,458
I got glazed.
I got some creme‐filled.

154
00:10:19,458 --> 00:10:21,125
‐ Can we get started?

155
00:10:21,125 --> 00:10:23,333
Let's all try to be on time
in the future.

156
00:10:23,333 --> 00:10:25,167
Sharon, what do you got?

157
00:10:25,167 --> 00:10:26,875
‐ Yeah, so,
I'm still working my way

158
00:10:26,875 --> 00:10:28,458
through the '98
internal budgets,

159
00:10:28,458 --> 00:10:32,625
but the sales rep bonus
structure incentivizes reps

160
00:10:32,625 --> 00:10:36,000
to push for higher doses
over longer periods of time.

161
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,042
I don't think I've ever seen a
pharma company do that before.

162
00:10:39,042 --> 00:10:40,375
‐ Do you have management

163
00:10:40,375 --> 00:10:42,583
specifically pushing reps
to sell higher doses?

164
00:10:42,583 --> 00:10:44,458
‐ Not yet, but it is implied.

165
00:10:44,458 --> 00:10:46,167
‐ I don't need implied.
I need a direct link.

166
00:10:46,167 --> 00:10:47,542
I need examples that show

167
00:10:47,542 --> 00:10:50,208
reps dangerously pushing
higher doses for profit.

168
00:10:50,208 --> 00:10:52,875
‐ Well, we might find that
in the call notes.

169
00:10:52,875 --> 00:10:54,750
We just completed
cataloguing all of them,

170
00:10:54,750 --> 00:10:56,125
and a part of me thinks

171
00:10:56,125 --> 00:10:58,792
that there could be
some information in there.

172
00:10:58,792 --> 00:11:00,958
‐ I need orders
from management,

173
00:11:00,958 --> 00:11:02,875
not with the sales reps
or telling management.

174
00:11:02,875 --> 00:11:05,042
‐ Can I finish, Rick?

175
00:11:05,042 --> 00:11:08,167
We might find something
that leads us to a sales rep

176
00:11:08,167 --> 00:11:09,958
who's willing to flip
on the higher‐ups.

177
00:11:09,958 --> 00:11:11,500
‐ How?

178
00:11:11,500 --> 00:11:14,083
‐ These call notes contain
everything that they wrote

179
00:11:14,083 --> 00:11:18,208
to their managers
after every doctor's visit.

180
00:11:18,208 --> 00:11:21,708
So maybe there's a rep
that said people are

181
00:11:21,708 --> 00:11:24,292
getting addicted,
but they got ignored,

182
00:11:24,292 --> 00:11:27,292
and now they want
to talk about it.

183
00:11:27,292 --> 00:11:29,125
We might find a whistleblower.

184
00:11:29,125 --> 00:11:32,375
‐ Right, well,

185
00:11:32,375 --> 00:11:34,875
since we haven't found a
smoking gun in the higher‐ups,

186
00:11:34,875 --> 00:11:37,125
then whistleblower would be
our best bet, wouldn't it?

187
00:11:37,125 --> 00:11:39,042
‐ That is a wonderful idea,
boss,

188
00:11:39,042 --> 00:11:40,875
and I wish that I had had it.

189
00:11:40,875 --> 00:11:42,417
I.T.
I can't believe you boys

190
00:11:42,417 --> 00:11:44,958
spent two years on this case
without these computers.

191
00:11:44,958 --> 00:11:46,375
‐ Nobody would give us
the funding.

192
00:11:46,375 --> 00:11:47,958
‐ What made them
change their mind?

193
00:11:47,958 --> 00:11:49,292
‐ They didn't.

194
00:11:49,292 --> 00:11:53,000
Rick convinced the Virginia
Medicaid Fraud Unit

195
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,833
to give us the funding.

196
00:11:54,833 --> 00:11:56,125
So how's this work?

197
00:11:56,125 --> 00:11:57,333
I.T.Every call note

198
00:11:57,333 --> 00:11:58,792
has been inputted
into the system.

199
00:11:58,792 --> 00:12:00,750
So you give me a keyword,

200
00:12:00,750 --> 00:12:02,500
and it automatically searches
for all of them.

201
00:12:02,500 --> 00:12:03,917
What's taken you months

202
00:12:03,917 --> 00:12:06,042
will now be accomplished
in just a few seconds.

203
00:12:06,042 --> 00:12:08,958
‐ Okay, well, let's get
the party started.

204
00:12:08,958 --> 00:12:14,792
Try "Sackler."

205
00:12:14,792 --> 00:12:16,458
‐ No.
‐ Nothing.

206
00:12:16,458 --> 00:12:17,750
Well, makes sense.

207
00:12:17,750 --> 00:12:20,667
Why would the sales reps
be discussing Sacklers?

208
00:12:20,667 --> 00:12:21,833
‐ What types of things

209
00:12:21,833 --> 00:12:23,500
would you want
to see them discussing?

210
00:12:23,500 --> 00:12:27,583
‐ I want to know if they were
reporting drug abuse.

211
00:12:34,875 --> 00:12:36,625
I.T.- 35.
- All right.

212
00:12:36,625 --> 00:12:38,125
‐ I'll print it off.

213
00:12:38,125 --> 00:12:39,417
You know,
you might get more hits

214
00:12:39,417 --> 00:12:41,000
if you're even more specific.

215
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,792
What kind of abuse?

216
00:12:43,792 --> 00:12:45,917
‐ Try "crush" and "snort."

217
00:13:01,458 --> 00:13:04,542
When you were a sales rep,
you wrote to your manager

218
00:13:04,542 --> 00:13:07,375
that patients were
snorting their pills.

219
00:13:07,375 --> 00:13:09,000
No, I never wrote that.

220
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,792
‐ Oh, you never wrote that?

221
00:13:10,792 --> 00:13:12,792
But that's actually
what you did write

222
00:13:12,792 --> 00:13:13,958
in your own call notes

223
00:13:13,958 --> 00:13:15,458
that you sent over
to your manager.

224
00:13:15,458 --> 00:13:17,042
I got it right here
in my notes.

225
00:13:17,042 --> 00:13:18,292
You wrote,

226
00:13:18,292 --> 00:13:21,458
"A doctor said a patient
crushed her medication

227
00:13:21,458 --> 00:13:25,167
into powder,
like it was cocaine."

228
00:13:25,167 --> 00:13:26,750
Hello?

229
00:13:26,750 --> 00:13:31,458
Yes, I wanted to ask about your
call notes from June 6, 1998,

230
00:13:31,458 --> 00:13:34,375
in which you referenced
a growing culture

231
00:13:34,375 --> 00:13:36,542
of OxyContin abuse.

232
00:13:36,542 --> 00:13:38,583
Um, I'm sorry.
This isn't a good time.

233
00:13:38,583 --> 00:13:40,208
I just got home from work.

234
00:13:40,208 --> 00:13:43,458
‐ Oh, perfect, I'm actually
outside your place right now.

235
00:13:43,458 --> 00:13:44,792
I'd love to just come in
and chat

236
00:13:44,792 --> 00:13:46,583
with you real quick,
if I might.

237
00:13:51,250 --> 00:13:55,000
‐ Come in.
You can sit.

238
00:13:59,375 --> 00:14:00,625
Can I see your ID?

239
00:14:00,625 --> 00:14:02,833
‐ Of course.

240
00:14:09,250 --> 00:14:12,542
‐ If it's a fake,
it's pretty convincing.

241
00:14:12,542 --> 00:14:15,542
‐ I assure you, ma'am,
I'm an Assistant U.S. Attorney

242
00:14:15,542 --> 00:14:17,125
working under John Brownlee

243
00:14:17,125 --> 00:14:19,125
in the Western District
of Virginia.

244
00:14:23,708 --> 00:14:26,292
‐ I know I'm acting crazy.

245
00:14:26,292 --> 00:14:28,292
The first six months
after I was fired,

246
00:14:28,292 --> 00:14:31,167
I thought
that I was being followed.

247
00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:38,333
Did upper management
know

248
00:14:38,333 --> 00:14:42,083
that the drug was being
abused in 1997 or '98?

249
00:14:42,083 --> 00:14:44,792
‐ I don't see how
they couldn't.

250
00:14:44,792 --> 00:14:47,292
I mean, we all knew.

251
00:14:48,417 --> 00:14:51,625
‐ So it was widely known
amongst the sales force.

252
00:14:51,625 --> 00:14:56,458
‐ Look, sales reps are
like a bunch of frat boys

253
00:14:56,458 --> 00:14:57,792
that just want to make money.

254
00:14:57,792 --> 00:15:00,542
Deep down, they all know
it's built on a lie.

255
00:15:00,542 --> 00:15:03,292
‐ And what is
that lie, exactly?

256
00:15:03,292 --> 00:15:06,625
‐ That the drug's less
addictive than other opioids.

257
00:15:06,625 --> 00:15:08,208
But, you know,

258
00:15:08,208 --> 00:15:10,417
when you have an FDA label
that says it's safe,

259
00:15:10,417 --> 00:15:12,500
you can convince yourself
it's fine.

260
00:15:13,208 --> 00:15:18,333
‐ Um... did any
higher‐level executives

261
00:15:18,333 --> 00:15:21,125
ever discuss drug abuse
with you?

262
00:15:25,167 --> 00:15:27,417
I know this is tough.

263
00:15:27,417 --> 00:15:30,833
But in order for us
to truly bring accountability

264
00:15:30,833 --> 00:15:36,000
and to end this cycle
of rampant abuse,

265
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,000
we need someone inside
the company to testify.

266
00:15:44,292 --> 00:15:46,167
‐ I've carried this
on my conscience

267
00:15:46,167 --> 00:15:49,042
for such a long time.

268
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,542
When I was fired,
I had a choice.

269
00:15:55,542 --> 00:15:59,250
I could walk away with nothing
or get a severance

270
00:15:59,250 --> 00:16:00,792
and sign a strict NDA.

271
00:16:05,625 --> 00:16:07,667
I signed it.

272
00:16:07,667 --> 00:16:10,583
There is no way
I'm gonna cross Purdue.

273
00:16:10,583 --> 00:16:14,292
If I could,
it would cost me everything.

274
00:16:14,292 --> 00:16:16,500
Look, I've already said
too much to you.

275
00:16:16,500 --> 00:16:19,375
I'm‐‐I'm sorry.
You have to leave.

276
00:16:19,375 --> 00:16:21,333
‐ Uh, the‐‐the grand jury
testimonies‐‐

277
00:16:21,333 --> 00:16:24,500
‐ No, no, you have to go.

278
00:16:56,542 --> 00:16:58,375
Howard Udell's office.

279
00:16:58,375 --> 00:17:00,000
‐ Maureen, can I talk to you?

280
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,375
‐ Yep.
Let me call you right back.

281
00:17:01,375 --> 00:17:03,083
Okay.

282
00:17:06,958 --> 00:17:08,750
‐ So I've got
an assignment for you.

283
00:17:08,750 --> 00:17:10,833
No need to take notes on this.

284
00:17:10,833 --> 00:17:14,542
‐ Okay.
Have a seat.

285
00:17:14,542 --> 00:17:15,958
Actually...

286
00:17:21,833 --> 00:17:23,875
A few call notes have been
coming in about people

287
00:17:23,875 --> 00:17:25,542
abusing the drug,

288
00:17:25,542 --> 00:17:28,125
snorting it in parking lots,
teenagers stealing it.

289
00:17:28,125 --> 00:17:31,167
‐ Well, there's diversion
with all narcotics.

290
00:17:31,167 --> 00:17:34,000
‐ Exactly, we know OC is
basically non‐addictive,

291
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,833
but I'd like to get
a better sense of street abuse.

292
00:17:36,833 --> 00:17:40,458
Can you go online into
drug chatrooms under an alias

293
00:17:40,458 --> 00:17:42,458
and see what people are saying?

294
00:17:42,458 --> 00:17:45,292
‐ Absolutely, sir.
I'll get right on it.

295
00:17:45,292 --> 00:17:47,375
It's probably just teenagers
getting high.

296
00:17:47,375 --> 00:17:50,125
‐ Exactly.
Thanks, Mo.

297
00:17:50,125 --> 00:17:52,083
Mm‐hmm.

298
00:17:52,083 --> 00:17:54,625
‐ I saw a guy
in the parking lot

299
00:17:54,625 --> 00:17:58,375
of the clinic snorting meds.

300
00:18:01,042 --> 00:18:05,125
And, uh, the security guard

301
00:18:05,125 --> 00:18:08,542
just, like,

302
00:18:08,542 --> 00:18:10,958
shrugged it off.

303
00:18:10,958 --> 00:18:15,250
You know?
Like he sees it all the time.

304
00:18:15,250 --> 00:18:16,625
‐ How do you know it was Oxy?

305
00:18:16,625 --> 00:18:20,583
‐ Because that's all
the clinic sells now.

306
00:18:20,583 --> 00:18:21,958
And I put it in my call notes,

307
00:18:21,958 --> 00:18:23,417
but, like,
no one's gotten back to me.

308
00:18:23,417 --> 00:18:27,750
‐ Why would you report it?

309
00:18:27,750 --> 00:18:29,000
‐ Why wouldn't I report it?

310
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,167
‐ Because your job is
to sell the drug.

311
00:18:32,167 --> 00:18:34,917
What happens after
isn't your concern.

312
00:18:34,917 --> 00:18:36,042
‐ Okay.

313
00:18:36,042 --> 00:18:38,208
‐ I grew up in Bumfuck, Oregon,

314
00:18:38,208 --> 00:18:41,625
with two fat, stupid brothers
in a one‐bedroom shack.

315
00:18:41,625 --> 00:18:44,333
I do not need you fucking up
our golden goose.

316
00:18:44,333 --> 00:18:46,458
‐ I'm not trying to‐‐where
are you going right now?

317
00:18:46,458 --> 00:18:48,458
‐ I have a date.

318
00:18:48,458 --> 00:18:50,417
What?
‐ Nothing.

319
00:18:50,417 --> 00:18:52,375
‐ We've talked
about what this is.

320
00:18:52,375 --> 00:18:54,333
Yeah, no, I know.

321
00:18:54,333 --> 00:18:55,875
Just, uh, you know,

322
00:18:55,875 --> 00:18:58,542
make sure you leave some money
on the dresser when you leave.

323
00:18:58,542 --> 00:19:01,625
‐ Oh, please.
You should be paying me.

324
00:19:02,917 --> 00:19:04,875
‐ I'm serious.

325
00:19:04,875 --> 00:19:08,500
This is San Francisco in 1849,

326
00:19:08,500 --> 00:19:10,917
and we are the first miners.

327
00:19:10,917 --> 00:19:15,000
There's nothing like this in
the history of pharmaceuticals.

328
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,458
We're so lucky
to have this job.

329
00:19:19,875 --> 00:19:22,583
‐ You're right,
we're very lucky.

330
00:19:24,542 --> 00:19:27,750
‐ Fine, bye.

331
00:19:27,750 --> 00:19:30,875
‐ Have fun on your date.

332
00:19:30,875 --> 00:19:33,583
Hope it's awesome.

333
00:19:38,125 --> 00:19:39,958
"I chopped
a 40‐milligram tablet

334
00:19:39,958 --> 00:19:41,875
"into fine powder,
snorted half of it,

335
00:19:41,875 --> 00:19:43,625
"and instantly felt
the most amazing high.

336
00:19:43,625 --> 00:19:44,958
"It's so easy to get
around their time‐release.

337
00:19:44,958 --> 00:19:46,667
"Just pop it into your mouth
for 30 seconds.

338
00:19:46,667 --> 00:19:48,917
"Crush the pill, eat
it, snort it, or inject it.

339
00:19:48,917 --> 00:19:51,375
"Stepped up from
10‐milligram to 30‐milligram.

340
00:19:51,375 --> 00:19:54,667
"I never, ever want
to leave the world of Oxy.

341
00:19:54,667 --> 00:19:56,500
It's pure bliss."

342
00:20:07,167 --> 00:20:09,667
Hey, Susan, what is that?

343
00:20:09,667 --> 00:20:12,167
‐ It's the new 160‐milligram.

344
00:20:12,167 --> 00:20:14,167
‐ We're releasing a 160?

345
00:20:14,167 --> 00:20:16,375
‐ Oh, yeah,
we had to make it oblong,

346
00:20:16,375 --> 00:20:18,750
'cause the circle wasn't
big enough to write 160 on it.

347
00:20:21,833 --> 00:20:24,500
I have found
many discussions of misuse

348
00:20:24,500 --> 00:20:28,375
and abuse of OxyContin
in numerous drug chatrooms,

349
00:20:28,375 --> 00:20:31,000
where the drug is quickly
becoming more popular

350
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,958
than cocaine or heroin.

351
00:20:32,958 --> 00:20:35,042
There's an entire
drug subculture

352
00:20:35,042 --> 00:20:37,833
surrounding OxyContin,
where people teach each other

353
00:20:37,833 --> 00:20:40,250
how to bypass
the time‐release system,

354
00:20:40,250 --> 00:20:42,167
as they describe in detail

355
00:20:42,167 --> 00:20:45,667
how OxyContin is
the best high of their lives.

356
00:21:23,667 --> 00:21:26,542
‐ Still can't believe
I married a cook.

357
00:21:26,542 --> 00:21:28,792
Swoon.

358
00:21:33,583 --> 00:21:35,583
Sure I can't help?

359
00:21:35,583 --> 00:21:38,750
‐ No.
You hear back from Purdue?

360
00:21:38,750 --> 00:21:40,750
‐ Oh, yeah,
they sent a letter saying

361
00:21:40,750 --> 00:21:42,250
they would look into
the actions we discussed,

362
00:21:42,250 --> 00:21:44,792
which is pharma‐speak
for "go fuck yourself."

363
00:21:44,792 --> 00:21:46,958
‐ So what's your next move?

364
00:21:46,958 --> 00:21:48,292
‐ I don't know.
It's tricky.

365
00:21:48,292 --> 00:21:49,625
The FDA has all the power

366
00:21:49,625 --> 00:21:51,375
to limit the amount of pills
on the streets,

367
00:21:51,375 --> 00:21:53,083
so my only move is
to get them to act.

368
00:21:53,083 --> 00:21:55,208
But right now,
all they seem interested in

369
00:21:55,208 --> 00:21:58,542
is parroting all of Purdue's
talking points.

370
00:22:00,417 --> 00:22:05,083
‐ You know, in the game
of power politics,

371
00:22:05,083 --> 00:22:07,708
if DOD is pissed at State

372
00:22:07,708 --> 00:22:10,167
because they won't do
what they want them to do,

373
00:22:10,167 --> 00:22:13,000
they'll plant a story
in the Times,

374
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:18,125
create national pressure
for State to act.

375
00:22:18,125 --> 00:22:20,458
‐ So I should go after Purdue
in the press

376
00:22:20,458 --> 00:22:22,917
to create pressure on the FDA
to take action against them?

377
00:22:22,917 --> 00:22:25,167
‐ Exactly, but you don't have
to do it.

378
00:22:25,167 --> 00:22:27,208
You just leak it.

379
00:22:27,208 --> 00:22:30,542
That way, if it backfires,
your fingerprints aren't on it.

380
00:22:32,333 --> 00:22:35,917
‐ Or I can hold
a press conference

381
00:22:35,917 --> 00:22:37,667
so the FDA and Purdue

382
00:22:37,667 --> 00:22:39,333
know exactly whose high heel
is up their ass.

383
00:22:39,333 --> 00:22:42,500
‐ Yeah, but then, uh,

384
00:22:42,500 --> 00:22:44,750
you'd be creating
a public press war.

385
00:22:47,083 --> 00:22:49,833
‐ You know what I like
about that?

386
00:22:49,833 --> 00:22:52,375
The word "war."

387
00:22:52,375 --> 00:22:53,750
Non‐addictive?

388
00:22:53,750 --> 00:22:55,417
He quotes Purdue's
talking points

389
00:22:55,417 --> 00:22:56,958
like they're the fucking gospel

390
00:22:56,958 --> 00:22:58,333
and didn't even reach out
to me for a quote.

391
00:22:58,333 --> 00:23:00,042
Can you please send
a real reporter

392
00:23:00,042 --> 00:23:01,083
to our press conference today?

393
00:23:01,083 --> 00:23:04,000
Please and thank you.

394
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,542
I mean...

395
00:23:06,542 --> 00:23:08,500
‐ It's looking like
a good turnout.

396
00:23:08,500 --> 00:23:11,458
We're, uh, expecting
a dozen outlets there.

397
00:23:11,458 --> 00:23:13,083
Great.

398
00:23:13,083 --> 00:23:16,125
‐ But there's an issue
that's concerning us.

399
00:23:18,167 --> 00:23:20,542
‐ What is it?
‐ You.

400
00:23:20,542 --> 00:23:22,083
We're worried your temper
could be a distraction.

401
00:23:22,083 --> 00:23:23,208
‐ What?
Fuck you.

402
00:23:23,208 --> 00:23:24,667
‐ Exactly.

403
00:23:24,667 --> 00:23:26,000
You're confrontational
with the press,

404
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,333
like we just saw.

405
00:23:27,333 --> 00:23:28,792
It doesn't help.

406
00:23:28,792 --> 00:23:30,625
‐ Okay, so when you're
confrontational, you're tough,

407
00:23:30,625 --> 00:23:32,167
but when I do it,
I'm an angry‐‐

408
00:23:32,167 --> 00:23:33,458
‐ Don't want to get into
a whole gender debate here.

409
00:23:33,458 --> 00:23:34,583
Oh, don't you?

410
00:23:34,583 --> 00:23:36,000
‐ We just want to launch
the press war...

411
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,250
Sounds like it.
‐ In a successful manner.

412
00:23:37,250 --> 00:23:38,625
‐ Oh, because the idea
I brought to the table

413
00:23:38,625 --> 00:23:39,792
I would not want
to be successful?

414
00:23:39,792 --> 00:23:40,958
‐ Bridget, we're on
the same team.

415
00:23:40,958 --> 00:23:42,583
‐ Just want it
to be successful.

416
00:23:46,958 --> 00:23:49,833
‐ Grant, you take point.
Right?

417
00:23:49,833 --> 00:23:52,417
Let's have the nice,
pretty white boy out front.

418
00:23:52,417 --> 00:23:54,000
‐ He's a pretty motherfucker.

419
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,958
And he's nice.
They like nice.

420
00:24:00,917 --> 00:24:03,042
‐ I need you to be aggressive.

421
00:24:03,042 --> 00:24:08,500
Purdue and the FDA will
not move unless we punch hard.

422
00:24:08,500 --> 00:24:11,208
So don't be a fucking pussy
out there.

423
00:24:13,208 --> 00:24:15,333
‐ I'm glad you're doing
the press conference.

424
00:24:15,333 --> 00:24:16,833
‐ Yeah, me, too.

425
00:24:16,833 --> 00:24:19,000
Reports of abuse
have become too large

426
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,583
and too frequent to ignore,

427
00:24:20,583 --> 00:24:23,750
and Purdue Pharma's continued
unwillingness to take action

428
00:24:23,750 --> 00:24:25,792
demands a government response.

429
00:24:25,792 --> 00:24:29,542
Today, I'm announcing, for
the first time in DEA history,

430
00:24:29,542 --> 00:24:31,958
we are targeting
a specific prescription drug.

431
00:24:31,958 --> 00:24:33,375
‐ Excuse me, over here!

432
00:24:33,375 --> 00:24:34,542
Mr. Simmons,

433
00:24:34,542 --> 00:24:36,208
are you declaring war
on Purdue Pharma?

434
00:24:36,208 --> 00:24:38,083
‐ Yes.
‐ No.

435
00:24:38,083 --> 00:24:40,750
We just want
to shield the public

436
00:24:40,750 --> 00:24:42,708
from a growing threat
to their health and safety.

437
00:24:42,708 --> 00:24:44,833
We're trying to protect
the American people

438
00:24:44,833 --> 00:24:46,292
from the dangers of OxyContin.

439
00:24:46,292 --> 00:24:47,708
‐ Picture perfect.
Other questions.

440
00:24:47,708 --> 00:24:51,375
Will this be
in conjunction with the FDA?

441
00:24:59,833 --> 00:25:04,458
‐ Hello, Rick.
Certainly is nice to see you.

442
00:25:04,458 --> 00:25:07,667
Pastor Doug.

443
00:25:07,667 --> 00:25:09,875
‐ What, uh, brings you by?

444
00:25:09,875 --> 00:25:11,292
‐ My wife mentioned that one

445
00:25:11,292 --> 00:25:15,792
of your young parishioners
had passed away.

446
00:25:15,792 --> 00:25:18,000
I'm so sorry.

447
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,667
‐ It's a, uh, tragedy,

448
00:25:21,667 --> 00:25:24,458
especially
with someone so young.

449
00:25:24,458 --> 00:25:28,625
Ria Frimer was special.

450
00:25:28,625 --> 00:25:32,000
But the devil has taken a hold

451
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,792
of so many parts
of this community.

452
00:25:35,792 --> 00:25:38,042
‐ Ria Frimer?

453
00:26:00,917 --> 00:26:02,875
Look at all this Purdue swag.

454
00:26:02,875 --> 00:26:06,333
Site is definitely run
by a former employee.

455
00:26:06,333 --> 00:26:09,750
‐ Well, if
a former Purdue employee

456
00:26:09,750 --> 00:26:12,042
is running oxydeaths.com,

457
00:26:12,042 --> 00:26:14,333
then I think we definitely
found our whistleblower.

458
00:26:14,333 --> 00:26:16,292
You see a contact on there?

459
00:26:16,292 --> 00:26:19,333
‐ Marianne Skolick.

460
00:26:19,333 --> 00:26:21,375
Give it a go.

461
00:26:28,750 --> 00:26:30,458
Ms. Skolick?

462
00:26:30,458 --> 00:26:32,333
Yes?

463
00:26:32,333 --> 00:26:35,042
‐ Hello, uh, I'm
Rick Mountcastle,

464
00:26:35,042 --> 00:26:37,833
Assistant U.S. Attorney
in Virginia,

465
00:26:37,833 --> 00:26:40,542
and I'd like to speak to you
about Purdue Pharma.

466
00:26:44,958 --> 00:26:46,625
Ms. Skolick?

467
00:26:46,625 --> 00:26:48,542
Yes, I'm here.

468
00:26:48,542 --> 00:26:52,167
Sorry, I, um...
I'm just surprised.

469
00:26:52,167 --> 00:26:54,833
You're the first person
to ever call me back.

470
00:26:54,833 --> 00:26:56,208
‐ Who have you called?

471
00:26:56,208 --> 00:26:58,667
‐ The FDA, the DEA,

472
00:26:58,667 --> 00:27:01,000
medical boards, U.S. attorneys
all over the country.

473
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,833
Nobody seems to care
about what I have to say.

474
00:27:03,833 --> 00:27:07,750
‐ I am so sorry, Ms. Skolick,
but I'm happy to speak to you.

475
00:27:07,750 --> 00:27:09,542
So on your website,

476
00:27:09,542 --> 00:27:12,042
you posted pictures
of Purdue merchandise.

477
00:27:12,042 --> 00:27:14,250
How'd you get those?
Did you work there?

478
00:27:14,250 --> 00:27:18,208
God, no, I'd never
work for that vile company.

479
00:27:18,208 --> 00:27:21,333
I was, uh, collecting evidence
to show

480
00:27:21,333 --> 00:27:24,167
how Purdue marketing their drug
in a dishonest way

481
00:27:24,167 --> 00:27:27,833
with stuffed animals and CDs
for senior citizens.

482
00:27:27,833 --> 00:27:29,292
I bought it all on eBay.

483
00:27:29,292 --> 00:27:31,042
‐ Who'd you buy it from?

484
00:27:31,042 --> 00:27:33,083
Uh, mostly
one woman.

485
00:27:33,083 --> 00:27:36,458
She worked at Purdue
but was fired.

486
00:27:36,458 --> 00:27:37,875
‐ What did she do?

487
00:27:37,875 --> 00:27:40,583
‐ She was
Howard Udell's secretary.

488
00:27:40,583 --> 00:27:43,292
‐ Head of legal Howard Udell?

489
00:27:43,292 --> 00:27:46,042
Yes, that's him.

490
00:27:46,042 --> 00:27:48,792
‐ All right, you think she'd
be willing to talk to us?

491
00:27:48,792 --> 00:27:51,167
I know she would.

492
00:27:51,167 --> 00:27:53,583
‐ Morning, everybody.
‐ Hey, darling.

493
00:27:53,583 --> 00:27:55,042
Hey.
‐ How are you?

494
00:27:55,042 --> 00:27:56,125
Doctor, your patients

495
00:27:56,125 --> 00:27:57,375
have been waiting
almost a half hour.

496
00:27:57,375 --> 00:27:59,875
‐ Oh, okay, well, sorry.

497
00:27:59,875 --> 00:28:02,000
Don't send me
to the principal's office.

498
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,875
Why did I come here?
Oh.

499
00:28:03,875 --> 00:28:05,542
I don't know, half hour.
‐ Yeah, yeah, yeah.

500
00:28:05,542 --> 00:28:06,667
Let me get your bag.
‐ All right.

501
00:28:06,667 --> 00:28:07,833
‐ You know what
we should get here?

502
00:28:07,833 --> 00:28:08,958
‐ What's that?

503
00:28:08,958 --> 00:28:10,125
‐ Music.
‐ Okay.

504
00:28:10,125 --> 00:28:11,667
‐ We could do some dancing.
‐ Okay.

505
00:28:11,667 --> 00:28:14,000
‐ Remember that.
Don't eat my lunch.

506
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,750
‐ I won't eat your lunch.

507
00:28:15,750 --> 00:28:16,958
You know who I like?

508
00:28:16,958 --> 00:28:19,583
George Strait.
I like George Strait‐‐hey.

509
00:28:24,417 --> 00:28:27,708
‐ We're ready
for the procedure.

510
00:28:31,750 --> 00:28:33,500
Are you okay?

511
00:28:33,500 --> 00:28:35,333
‐ Yeah.

512
00:28:38,208 --> 00:28:39,542
How you doing, Randy?

513
00:28:39,542 --> 00:28:41,500
‐ I'm good, Dr. Sam.
‐ Good, good, good.

514
00:28:41,500 --> 00:28:43,042
You know,
we've been through this.

515
00:28:43,042 --> 00:28:45,500
We know what we're gonna do.

516
00:28:45,500 --> 00:28:48,625
We've numbed this area.

517
00:28:48,625 --> 00:28:50,792
You shouldn't feel anything.

518
00:28:50,792 --> 00:28:54,583
And if you do feel
some pain, tell us.

519
00:28:54,583 --> 00:28:57,000
All right, here we go.

520
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,875
All right, you're gonna feel
a little pressure here.

521
00:29:05,917 --> 00:29:07,333
Everything okay?

522
00:29:07,333 --> 00:29:08,833
‐ Yeah, I mean, I'm good.

523
00:29:08,833 --> 00:29:10,667
‐ Okay.

524
00:29:17,042 --> 00:29:21,917
‐ Mm.

525
00:29:21,917 --> 00:29:24,500
Mm.
You all right?

526
00:29:30,708 --> 00:29:33,042
Dr. Sam.

527
00:29:33,042 --> 00:29:35,125
‐ I got it.

528
00:29:35,125 --> 00:29:37,417
Dr. Finnix.

529
00:29:37,417 --> 00:29:39,125
Ahh, Dr. Sam.

530
00:29:39,125 --> 00:29:42,833
‐ Dr. Finnix.

531
00:29:42,833 --> 00:29:44,458
Dr. Finnix.

532
00:29:44,458 --> 00:29:46,125
Ahh!
‐ Samuel!

533
00:29:46,125 --> 00:29:48,000
Ahh!
‐ Call an ambulance!

534
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,125
Ahh!
‐ Call an ambulance now.

535
00:29:50,125 --> 00:29:52,917
Ahh!
‐ Now!

536
00:30:26,250 --> 00:30:27,792
So what happened?

537
00:30:27,792 --> 00:30:31,542
‐ Everything was fine,
and he jerked suddenly,

538
00:30:31,542 --> 00:30:33,667
kind of violently,
and the blade slipped.

539
00:30:33,667 --> 00:30:35,917
‐ It's a pretty wide incision
for one sudden movement.

540
00:30:35,917 --> 00:30:38,667
‐ Believe me, I know.
I couldn't believe it myself.

541
00:30:38,667 --> 00:30:40,125
What is his status?

542
00:30:40,125 --> 00:30:42,375
‐ You're lucky you got him
in here before the blood loss

543
00:30:42,375 --> 00:30:43,750
was too extensive.

544
00:30:43,750 --> 00:30:45,625
He's pretty rattled,
but he'll be okay.

545
00:30:45,625 --> 00:30:47,625
‐ Oh, that's good, all right.

546
00:30:47,625 --> 00:30:51,458
Doc, while I got you here, uh,

547
00:30:51,458 --> 00:30:53,500
I've got a torn ligament
in my knee,

548
00:30:53,500 --> 00:30:57,750
and taking Percocet
doesn't put a dent in it.

549
00:30:57,750 --> 00:30:59,708
‐ You tried OxyContin?
‐ I haven't, no.

550
00:30:59,708 --> 00:31:01,500
Could you write me a script?

551
00:31:01,500 --> 00:31:03,042
‐ I can start you
on 10 milligrams.

552
00:31:03,042 --> 00:31:04,292
Okay, good.

553
00:31:04,292 --> 00:31:07,167
10 is‐‐yeah, I wouldn't
start my patients on 10.

554
00:31:07,167 --> 00:31:08,542
That seems‐‐

555
00:31:08,542 --> 00:31:09,792
that doesn't seem
to affect them.

556
00:31:09,792 --> 00:31:13,208
About 20 or 40 usually.

557
00:31:13,208 --> 00:31:17,292
To just‐‐
‐ Dr. Finnix, is this yours?

558
00:31:19,042 --> 00:31:20,708
‐ Yeah, those are my‐‐

559
00:31:20,708 --> 00:31:22,875
uh, my patients', uh,
empty pill bottles.

560
00:31:22,875 --> 00:31:24,833
‐ Well, why didn't you
dispose of them?

561
00:31:24,833 --> 00:31:26,417
‐ Sheriff, can I talk to you?

562
00:31:29,917 --> 00:31:33,500
Think he's a drug addict.

563
00:31:33,500 --> 00:31:36,667
‐ Where'd you get those?
‐ You know where.

564
00:31:36,667 --> 00:31:39,167
‐ Hey, hey,
don't worry about it.

565
00:31:39,167 --> 00:31:40,458
‐ Place your hands
behind your back.

566
00:31:40,458 --> 00:31:41,750
You're under arrest.

567
00:31:41,750 --> 00:31:44,000
‐ Well, let's just‐‐now,
I don't know‐‐

568
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,208
‐ I said place your hands
behind your back now.

569
00:31:47,208 --> 00:31:50,458
‐ Oh, this is a mistake.
I'll talk to you about this.

570
00:31:50,458 --> 00:31:52,000
This is nothing
to worry about, honey.

571
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,125
‐ All right, let's go.
‐ Don't worry.

572
00:31:55,125 --> 00:31:57,708
I'll talk to you.
I'll talk you later.

573
00:32:12,792 --> 00:32:14,208
‐ Hey.

574
00:32:27,208 --> 00:32:31,125
Where is it?

575
00:32:31,125 --> 00:32:34,000
‐ What?
Where's what?

576
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,167
‐ Your momma's wedding ring.

577
00:32:36,167 --> 00:32:39,458
What'd you do with it?

578
00:32:39,458 --> 00:32:42,167
‐ I‐I don't know
what you're talking about.

579
00:32:44,542 --> 00:32:49,125
‐ You're a liar
and a thief now?

580
00:32:49,125 --> 00:32:52,000
Huh?

581
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,833
You disgust me, Bets.

582
00:32:54,833 --> 00:32:59,583
You have become
a disgusting human being.

583
00:33:01,125 --> 00:33:04,292
Now where is it?

584
00:33:04,292 --> 00:33:05,958
Huh?
Where is it?

585
00:33:05,958 --> 00:33:07,750
Give me it now!
‐ No, stop, stop!

586
00:33:07,750 --> 00:33:08,958
What?
‐ Stop!

587
00:33:08,958 --> 00:33:11,083
What?
‐ Please, Dad, stop.

588
00:33:11,083 --> 00:33:12,708
- Where is it?
- Dad, Dad.

589
00:33:12,708 --> 00:33:14,000
‐ No, uh‐uh.

590
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,000
‐ I sold it!
I sold it!

591
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,875
I sold it.

592
00:33:19,875 --> 00:33:22,083
‐ Where?

593
00:33:22,083 --> 00:33:25,917
‐ At the pawn shop in Bristol.

594
00:33:25,917 --> 00:33:28,958
‐ And my grandmother's brooch?

595
00:33:28,958 --> 00:33:30,708
‐ I sold all of it.

596
00:33:34,708 --> 00:33:37,917
‐ You've been‐‐
you've been going to AA.

597
00:33:39,625 --> 00:33:42,333
‐ That's where I get my pills.

598
00:33:42,333 --> 00:33:44,042
‐ What?

599
00:33:44,042 --> 00:33:46,500
‐ Dad?

600
00:33:46,500 --> 00:33:48,833
‐ Get your god damn pills.
‐ No.

601
00:33:48,833 --> 00:33:50,833
Dad, no!
No, Dad, no!

602
00:33:50,833 --> 00:33:51,833
‐ The only thing
you care about‐‐

603
00:33:51,833 --> 00:33:52,917
Dad, no!

604
00:33:52,917 --> 00:33:54,292
Get your hands
off of me!

605
00:33:54,292 --> 00:33:55,875
Please, Dad!
‐ Where's the goddamn pills?

606
00:33:55,875 --> 00:33:58,458
- No, please, Dad!
- Uh‐huh, right here!

607
00:33:58,458 --> 00:34:02,375
You sold your momma's
precious heirlooms

608
00:34:02,375 --> 00:34:04,833
for this trash, huh?

609
00:34:04,833 --> 00:34:07,583
‐ Give them back!
Dad, Dad!

610
00:34:07,583 --> 00:34:11,208
‐ Betsy!
‐ Dad, no!

611
00:34:11,208 --> 00:34:13,250
‐ Ahh!
‐ No, no!

612
00:34:13,250 --> 00:34:17,042
‐ No, Dad, no, ahh!

613
00:34:17,042 --> 00:34:18,875
No, Dad, I'll die!

614
00:34:21,083 --> 00:34:22,292
No, Dad, please!

615
00:34:22,292 --> 00:34:24,292
‐ My daughter's destroyed
our damn family!

616
00:34:24,292 --> 00:34:26,375
Get your hands off of me!
‐ No, please!

617
00:34:26,375 --> 00:34:28,458
‐ Please, Dad, no!

618
00:34:28,458 --> 00:34:31,750
No!

619
00:34:37,250 --> 00:34:41,583
No, no, no, no!

620
00:34:43,500 --> 00:34:46,958
No!

621
00:34:55,708 --> 00:34:58,500
What?
What the‐‐stop!

622
00:34:58,500 --> 00:35:02,208
- Bets, don't!
- No, don't‐‐Diane!

623
00:35:02,208 --> 00:35:06,667
‐ I hate you!
I hate you!

624
00:35:08,542 --> 00:35:10,625
I hope you burn in hell!

625
00:35:19,417 --> 00:35:21,083
‐ Director Melton,
you wanted to see me?

626
00:35:21,083 --> 00:35:23,333
‐ I did.
Come in.

627
00:35:23,333 --> 00:35:24,708
‐ So how was your weekend?

628
00:35:24,708 --> 00:35:26,625
I hope you got
some well‐earned rest.

629
00:35:26,625 --> 00:35:28,000
‐ Is this the new,
friendly Bridget?

630
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,625
‐ Why, yes it is,
non‐threatening and docile,

631
00:35:30,625 --> 00:35:32,958
just like every woman
should be.

632
00:35:32,958 --> 00:35:34,875
‐ Have a seat.

633
00:35:36,750 --> 00:35:39,875
Look, I'm sure it wasn't fun
letting your subordinate

634
00:35:39,875 --> 00:35:42,083
hold a press conference
on your own investigation,

635
00:35:42,083 --> 00:35:44,583
but I think you made
the right call.

636
00:35:44,583 --> 00:35:46,542
I know you think
you need to be tougher

637
00:35:46,542 --> 00:35:48,542
than a guy to prove yourself,

638
00:35:48,542 --> 00:35:51,708
but you already are tougher.
You don't have to be tougher.

639
00:35:51,708 --> 00:35:53,042
Does that make sense?

640
00:35:53,042 --> 00:35:56,792
‐ Um, sir, if I'm not
forceful enough,

641
00:35:56,792 --> 00:35:59,042
then I'm a weak woman
that shouldn't be in this job,

642
00:35:59,042 --> 00:36:00,458
but if I push too hard,

643
00:36:00,458 --> 00:36:01,750
then I'm
an out‐of‐control bitch.

644
00:36:01,750 --> 00:36:04,583
And this job requires
that I push.

645
00:36:04,583 --> 00:36:06,500
‐ And sometimes you do
push too hard,

646
00:36:06,500 --> 00:36:08,125
and your approach doesn't work.

647
00:36:09,833 --> 00:36:12,042
Purdue requested
another meeting with us,

648
00:36:12,042 --> 00:36:14,375
and this time, Richard Sackler
is going to join.

649
00:36:14,375 --> 00:36:16,958
‐ That means the press war
is already working.

650
00:36:16,958 --> 00:36:18,958
‐ It is,
but Purdue also requested

651
00:36:18,958 --> 00:36:21,500
that you not attend
the meeting.

652
00:36:21,500 --> 00:36:24,708
‐ Is Purdue Pharma dictating
who attends DEA meetings now?

653
00:36:24,708 --> 00:36:27,458
‐ No, but there is a feeling
we might have more success

654
00:36:27,458 --> 00:36:28,833
with a different approach,

655
00:36:28,833 --> 00:36:31,167
since ultimately, we need them
to act voluntarily.

656
00:36:31,167 --> 00:36:33,458
‐ And if I go
for Sackler's jugular,

657
00:36:33,458 --> 00:36:35,625
it might scare him to act.

658
00:36:35,625 --> 00:36:36,833
Or not.

659
00:36:36,833 --> 00:36:38,583
Sometimes being
a hard‐ass isn't

660
00:36:38,583 --> 00:36:41,833
as effective as being politic.

661
00:36:41,833 --> 00:36:43,917
So we're gonna try
a different approach.

662
00:36:50,875 --> 00:36:53,250
‐ Of course, sir.
Yes, I understand.

663
00:37:09,333 --> 00:37:10,625
Thank you for coming.
‐ Oh, sure.

664
00:37:10,625 --> 00:37:11,833
Thank you.

665
00:37:11,833 --> 00:37:12,833
Good to see
you again, sir.

666
00:37:12,833 --> 00:37:14,167
‐ How are you?

667
00:37:14,167 --> 00:37:16,167
And thank you.
Thank you for coming.

668
00:37:16,167 --> 00:37:18,667
‐ Thank you.
‐ Dr. Sackler.

669
00:37:18,667 --> 00:37:22,333
‐ Hello, everyone.
Pardon my tardiness.

670
00:37:24,500 --> 00:37:25,958
‐ Deputy Director Meyer.

671
00:37:25,958 --> 00:37:28,167
We were gonna stop by
and say hello before we left.

672
00:37:28,167 --> 00:37:30,875
‐ Oh, so glad I could
save you the trip.

673
00:37:30,875 --> 00:37:32,958
Dr. Sackler,
I'm glad you could make it.

674
00:37:32,958 --> 00:37:34,250
Bridget Meyer, Diversion.

675
00:37:34,250 --> 00:37:36,375
‐ Nice to meet you.
‐ Here you go.

676
00:37:36,375 --> 00:37:38,625
Thank you.

677
00:37:38,625 --> 00:37:40,333
‐ Shall we?

678
00:37:40,333 --> 00:37:42,625
- Sure.
- Sir, pardon me...

679
00:37:45,625 --> 00:37:49,375
‐ To reduce sporadic incidences
of abuse,

680
00:37:49,375 --> 00:37:52,333
we would like
to join your efforts.

681
00:37:52,333 --> 00:37:56,917
We will finance and organize
training sessions

682
00:37:56,917 --> 00:37:59,375
for pharmacists to help them

683
00:37:59,375 --> 00:38:02,625
better spot signs
of illegal diversion.

684
00:38:02,625 --> 00:38:07,667
And we will also develop
a tamper‐proof prescription pad

685
00:38:07,667 --> 00:38:11,333
that we will distribute
at no cost

686
00:38:11,333 --> 00:38:14,500
to prescribing physicians
around the country.

687
00:38:14,500 --> 00:38:19,833
With these steps and others,
we can help ensure drug abusers

688
00:38:19,833 --> 00:38:22,125
will not prevent pain patients

689
00:38:22,125 --> 00:38:25,542
from receiving
their crucial medication.

690
00:38:25,542 --> 00:38:27,958
Thank you.

691
00:38:27,958 --> 00:38:29,583
‐ Well, thank you, Dr. Sackler.

692
00:38:29,583 --> 00:38:32,000
We appreciate you
being proactive

693
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,458
with these excellent ideas‐‐

694
00:38:33,458 --> 00:38:35,708
‐ But unfortunately,
it's not enough.

695
00:38:35,708 --> 00:38:37,750
Not even close.

696
00:38:37,750 --> 00:38:40,667
You're trying to put a Band‐Aid
on a gunshot wound.

697
00:38:40,667 --> 00:38:43,375
The real problem, as you know,

698
00:38:43,375 --> 00:38:48,000
is a powerful
and extremely addictive drug

699
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,875
being prescribed by all kinds
of doctors for minor ailments,

700
00:38:51,875 --> 00:38:56,917
in increasingly higher doses,
without adequate safeguards.

701
00:39:06,750 --> 00:39:09,333
Dr. Sackler,

702
00:39:09,333 --> 00:39:13,125
I'm not going to stop
until you, your company,

703
00:39:13,125 --> 00:39:17,625
and the FDA have curbed
excessive prescribing.

704
00:39:17,625 --> 00:39:20,875
People are dying!

705
00:39:20,875 --> 00:39:24,250
And I'm not going to back down.

706
00:39:24,250 --> 00:39:27,292
I want pills off the streets.

707
00:39:27,292 --> 00:39:28,583
Do you understand that?

708
00:39:35,375 --> 00:39:38,125
‐ I think I understand that.

709
00:39:38,125 --> 00:39:41,167
‐ Thank you,
gentlemen and lady.

710
00:39:41,167 --> 00:39:42,875
Uh, we appreciate your time.
Thank you.

711
00:39:54,542 --> 00:39:55,917
‐ Thank you.

712
00:40:02,375 --> 00:40:04,500
‐ Give Bridget and me a moment.

713
00:40:11,208 --> 00:40:14,500
‐ Sir, he was playing you,
I promise you.

714
00:40:14,500 --> 00:40:16,000
These are the same tired‐‐

715
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,375
‐ Bridget, stop.
What's your next move?

716
00:40:19,375 --> 00:40:23,000
‐ Well, they're not gonna take
any action after this meeting.

717
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:24,750
So I will use that fact

718
00:40:24,750 --> 00:40:26,375
and the negative press
that we've generated

719
00:40:26,375 --> 00:40:29,708
to go back to the FDA
to make another set of demands

720
00:40:29,708 --> 00:40:31,250
to restrict access
to this drug.

721
00:40:31,250 --> 00:40:32,917
And if that doesn't work,
we'll do another round

722
00:40:32,917 --> 00:40:35,708
in the press
and keep wearing the FDA down

723
00:40:35,708 --> 00:40:39,458
until they finally make
a move against Purdue.

724
00:40:42,625 --> 00:40:44,625
‐ Good.
You were right.

725
00:40:44,625 --> 00:40:46,917
Their offer
would have placated me.

726
00:40:46,917 --> 00:40:48,333
Keep doing what you're doing.

727
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:02,000
‐ Hey.

728
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,875
Good morning.

729
00:41:04,875 --> 00:41:08,667
You okay?

730
00:41:08,667 --> 00:41:12,208
‐ Something happened
at work yesterday.

731
00:41:12,208 --> 00:41:14,500
I didn't want to talk
about it last night.

732
00:41:14,500 --> 00:41:17,167
‐ What happened?

733
00:41:17,167 --> 00:41:21,708
‐ My boss called me in
to his office to tell me

734
00:41:21,708 --> 00:41:26,042
that his dad needs OxyContin
for his back pain.

735
00:41:26,042 --> 00:41:28,500
‐ Are you serious?

736
00:41:28,500 --> 00:41:32,833
‐ Tells me it saved his life,

737
00:41:32,833 --> 00:41:34,708
and he is concerned

738
00:41:34,708 --> 00:41:37,875
that the DEA is trying
to block a drug

739
00:41:37,875 --> 00:41:39,625
that helps millions of people.

740
00:41:39,625 --> 00:41:42,542
He read about your case
in, uh, USA Today.

741
00:41:42,542 --> 00:41:45,208
‐ Yeah, bullshit piece
Purdue planted.

742
00:41:45,208 --> 00:41:49,375
‐ And he just wanted you
to know that he is scared

743
00:41:49,375 --> 00:41:51,333
you're gonna take away
his dad's medicine.

744
00:41:51,333 --> 00:41:56,167
‐ Well, you can tell him
that I know Richard Sackler,

745
00:41:56,167 --> 00:41:57,708
and I'm sure

746
00:41:57,708 --> 00:42:02,000
that I can get his dad
all the OxyContin he needs.

747
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,333
‐ This isn't funny.

748
00:42:06,208 --> 00:42:09,792
‐ Okay, what do you
want me to do?

749
00:42:09,792 --> 00:42:11,083
Drop the case?

750
00:42:11,083 --> 00:42:13,958
‐ No, no.

751
00:42:13,958 --> 00:42:15,833
I wasn't asking you to.

752
00:42:15,833 --> 00:42:17,625
‐ Okay.

753
00:42:17,625 --> 00:42:19,042
‐ Can you think

754
00:42:19,042 --> 00:42:23,583
about how what you're doing
might be affecting me?

755
00:42:23,583 --> 00:42:25,583
‐ No, I can't.
I'm sorry.

756
00:42:25,583 --> 00:42:28,708
I'm trying to, you know,
prevent a corrupt company

757
00:42:28,708 --> 00:42:31,458
from selling prescription
poison to teenagers.

758
00:42:31,458 --> 00:42:33,875
‐ I can't believe you didn't
even flinch when I asked

759
00:42:33,875 --> 00:42:36,000
if you were concerned about
how this was affecting me.

760
00:42:39,708 --> 00:42:41,333
‐ I'm sorry.

761
00:42:48,375 --> 00:42:49,458
‐ Gentlemen, this is the woman

762
00:42:49,458 --> 00:42:51,083
I was telling you about,
Maureen Sera.

763
00:42:51,083 --> 00:42:52,333
Randy Ramseyer.

764
00:42:52,333 --> 00:42:53,792
And her attorney,
Paul Handler.

765
00:42:53,792 --> 00:42:55,208
- Rick Mountcastle.
- Nice to meet you, Randy.

766
00:42:55,208 --> 00:42:58,708
‐ Mr. Udell asked me
to do some online research

767
00:42:58,708 --> 00:43:00,583
regarding abuse of the drug,

768
00:43:00,583 --> 00:43:03,333
so I sent a memo to him
and various people

769
00:43:03,333 --> 00:43:05,333
in upper management,

770
00:43:05,333 --> 00:43:07,875
um, about what I had found.

771
00:43:07,875 --> 00:43:09,333
‐ Who all did you sent it to?

772
00:43:09,333 --> 00:43:11,625
Michael Friedman,
Paul Goldenheim,

773
00:43:11,625 --> 00:43:16,375
Jonathan Sackler,
Kathe Sackler,

774
00:43:16,375 --> 00:43:19,292
Richard Sackler.

775
00:43:19,292 --> 00:43:21,250
‐ Did any of them respond?

776
00:43:21,250 --> 00:43:24,000
‐ Only Mr. Udell did.

777
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:28,625
He screamed at me
for sending it to them.

778
00:43:28,625 --> 00:43:34,250
And then he told me to delete
and destroy every copy.

779
00:43:34,250 --> 00:43:37,667
He said, if it ever came out
in discovery,

780
00:43:37,667 --> 00:43:39,958
we'd be screwed.

781
00:43:39,958 --> 00:43:42,917
‐ Did you keep any copies
of the report at all?

782
00:43:42,917 --> 00:43:46,583
‐ No, I did what I was told.
I shredded it.

783
00:43:46,583 --> 00:43:49,792
And as for my emails,

784
00:43:49,792 --> 00:43:55,250
I lost access to my inbox
when I was fired.

785
00:43:55,250 --> 00:43:59,708
‐ And were you fired
over this email?

786
00:43:59,708 --> 00:44:05,083
‐ No, it was something else.

787
00:44:05,083 --> 00:44:07,500
‐ It's okay, Maureen.

788
00:44:07,500 --> 00:44:10,333
‐ Yeah, okay.

789
00:44:10,333 --> 00:44:14,458
Um...

790
00:44:14,458 --> 00:44:17,500
shortly after all
of this happened,

791
00:44:17,500 --> 00:44:19,417
I was in a car accident,

792
00:44:19,417 --> 00:44:23,125
and some
of the injuries lingered.

793
00:44:23,125 --> 00:44:25,542
One day at work,

794
00:44:25,542 --> 00:44:28,458
Mr. Udell saw me limping,

795
00:44:28,458 --> 00:44:32,542
and so he took me
into his office,

796
00:44:32,542 --> 00:44:34,708
and he said...

797
00:44:38,708 --> 00:44:42,958
He said, "We've got
to get you on OxyContin."

798
00:44:46,208 --> 00:44:47,958
And at first, it was great.

799
00:44:47,958 --> 00:44:52,500
But then,

800
00:44:52,500 --> 00:44:55,875
the pain kept coming back,

801
00:44:55,875 --> 00:45:00,875
and I needed more and more,

802
00:45:00,875 --> 00:45:04,792
until finally, I was hooked.

803
00:45:06,833 --> 00:45:09,458
And then they fired me
for being a drug addict.

804
00:45:09,458 --> 00:45:13,042
‐ I am so sorry that you had
to go through all of that.

805
00:45:13,042 --> 00:45:15,792
It is truly unjust.

806
00:45:15,792 --> 00:45:20,750
Can I ask, are you clean now?

807
00:45:20,750 --> 00:45:24,750
‐ Yes, I am.

808
00:45:24,750 --> 00:45:27,875
‐ That's great.
Did you ever sign an NDA?

809
00:45:27,875 --> 00:45:30,917
‐ No, she did not.

810
00:45:30,917 --> 00:45:34,375
We're actively pursuing
litigation against the company

811
00:45:34,375 --> 00:45:36,750
for wrongful termination.

812
00:45:38,292 --> 00:45:39,958
‐ Would you be willing
to testify

813
00:45:39,958 --> 00:45:42,417
in front of a grand jury
what you just told us?

814
00:45:44,958 --> 00:45:47,458
‐ Mm‐mm.

815
00:45:47,458 --> 00:45:50,375
I'm...

816
00:45:50,375 --> 00:45:53,958
I've seen what they do.

817
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,208
If they know that I testified,
the‐‐

818
00:45:59,208 --> 00:46:05,458
the harassment and intimidation
will never end.

819
00:46:05,458 --> 00:46:08,250
‐ Well, they'll never know.

820
00:46:08,250 --> 00:46:11,292
Grand jury testimony
is sealed and secret.

821
00:46:15,958 --> 00:46:20,458
‐ Ms. Sera, your story is

822
00:46:20,458 --> 00:46:23,708
precisely what
we're looking for.

823
00:46:23,708 --> 00:46:27,958
'Cause see, it shows that the
highest levels of the company

824
00:46:27,958 --> 00:46:30,708
knew exactly how dangerous
the drug was.

825
00:46:33,500 --> 00:46:35,833
You could even
do this tomorrow,

826
00:46:35,833 --> 00:46:39,042
and then you could
go home right after.

827
00:46:42,292 --> 00:46:44,625
‐ They won't know?

828
00:46:44,625 --> 00:46:46,583
Mm‐mm.

829
00:46:53,125 --> 00:46:55,875
‐ Okay.

830
00:46:55,875 --> 00:47:00,375
Okay, I'll testify.

831
00:47:08,667 --> 00:47:10,542
‐ Samuel Finnix?
‐ Yeah.

832
00:47:10,542 --> 00:47:12,708
‐ Come with me.

833
00:47:17,875 --> 00:47:20,083
All right,
just take a look around,

834
00:47:20,083 --> 00:47:21,583
and I'll be right back
to check you in.

835
00:47:21,583 --> 00:47:23,833
‐ All right.
‐ All right.

836
00:47:59,833 --> 00:48:03,042
‐ No, no!

837
00:48:03,042 --> 00:48:05,333
Relax, Betsy.
It's okay.

838
00:48:05,333 --> 00:48:06,625
It's okay.
‐ No!

839
00:48:06,625 --> 00:48:09,458
No, no, no!

840
00:48:12,292 --> 00:48:14,042
No!
‐ Betsy, relax.

841
00:48:14,042 --> 00:48:15,542
‐ No!
‐ It's okay.

842
00:48:15,542 --> 00:48:16,792
‐ No, no, no!

843
00:48:16,792 --> 00:48:18,500
It's okay.

844
00:48:18,500 --> 00:48:20,417
‐ Ahh!

845
00:48:23,333 --> 00:48:25,083
‐ Oh, my...

846
00:48:25,083 --> 00:48:27,500
That's all we got.

847
00:48:27,500 --> 00:48:30,542
‐ I think it is.
It's everything.

848
00:48:30,542 --> 00:48:32,500
Yep.
‐ Um...

849
00:48:32,500 --> 00:48:34,083
My ring.
I know.

850
00:48:34,083 --> 00:48:37,917
‐ So I could probably do 3,000
for the lot.

851
00:48:37,917 --> 00:48:40,458
Or I could do 1,500
for the wedding ring.

852
00:48:40,458 --> 00:48:42,417
‐ Oh, no, no, sir.

853
00:48:42,417 --> 00:48:43,792
You don't understand.

854
00:48:43,792 --> 00:48:45,125
That's‐‐that's
all our property.

855
00:48:45,125 --> 00:48:47,042
Our‐‐our daughter, uh‐‐

856
00:48:47,042 --> 00:48:50,167
well, she stole it from us.

857
00:48:50,167 --> 00:48:54,292
‐ Yeah, you know,
I hear that all the time.

858
00:48:54,292 --> 00:48:57,292
‐ You calling me a liar, huh?
Honey, honey.

859
00:48:57,292 --> 00:49:01,500
‐ No, no, look,
if it's yours, press charges.

860
00:49:01,500 --> 00:49:04,083
Come on back with the police.

861
00:49:04,083 --> 00:49:06,167
Otherwise,
it's gotta stay here.

862
00:49:11,167 --> 00:49:14,167
‐ Maybe that'd be good for her.
‐ We're not gonna do that.

863
00:49:14,167 --> 00:49:15,625
‐ But Diane...
‐ We're not doing that.

864
00:49:15,625 --> 00:49:18,000
‐ What else has worked?

865
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:19,208
‐ Let's just get out of here.

866
00:49:19,208 --> 00:49:22,708
How about 2,500?

867
00:49:22,708 --> 00:49:25,667
‐ Just keep it.
Come on.

868
00:49:25,667 --> 00:49:27,625
‐ God is watching you, son.

869
00:49:27,625 --> 00:49:30,208
You have a good day, sir.

870
00:49:30,208 --> 00:49:32,500
‐ You're a fucking asshole.
‐ Come on.

871
00:49:32,500 --> 00:49:34,750
‐ God bless you, too.

872
00:49:45,250 --> 00:49:49,208
‐ Uncle Mortimer,
despite our differences,

873
00:49:49,208 --> 00:49:53,667
we share a certain ambition
to keep striving

874
00:49:53,667 --> 00:49:55,750
when others would settle.

875
00:49:55,750 --> 00:49:58,833
They told me we couldn't get
relaxed status in Germany,

876
00:49:58,833 --> 00:50:01,417
and I'm still fighting.

877
00:50:01,417 --> 00:50:03,833
‐ There's a reason people
are repelled by you,

878
00:50:03,833 --> 00:50:06,042
and that's never
going to change,

879
00:50:06,042 --> 00:50:08,667
not even if you become
president of Purdue.

880
00:50:08,667 --> 00:50:13,417
So don't feel bad
that that's never gonna happen.

881
00:50:13,417 --> 00:50:15,042
I'm so sorry,

882
00:50:15,042 --> 00:50:18,667
but Germany is officially dead.

883
00:50:18,667 --> 00:50:22,625
We tried everything we could,
but BfArM just won't budge.

884
00:50:22,625 --> 00:50:27,625
The Germany regulators are
just‐‐they're too strict.

885
00:50:27,625 --> 00:50:30,167
‐ You were all defeatists
from the get‐go.

886
00:50:30,167 --> 00:50:32,583
That's why it failed.

887
00:50:32,583 --> 00:50:35,042
Because no one ever believed
in it, none of you.

888
00:50:35,042 --> 00:50:36,708
‐ No, that's‐‐that's
absolutely not fair.

889
00:50:36,708 --> 00:50:38,042
‐ It's fine, Jon.
It's fine.

890
00:50:38,042 --> 00:50:39,833
‐ We all pushed as hard as we‐‐
‐ Jon!

891
00:50:39,833 --> 00:50:44,042
Thank you.

892
00:50:44,042 --> 00:50:46,500
‐ I know you thought
this was your big play

893
00:50:46,500 --> 00:50:47,958
to become president,

894
00:50:47,958 --> 00:50:50,833
but Mortimer will
never let it happen.

895
00:50:50,833 --> 00:50:52,917
You really should
just let it go.

896
00:50:52,917 --> 00:50:55,625
‐ Ah, I see.
Thank you.

897
00:50:55,625 --> 00:50:59,792
I just don't‐‐
‐ Thank you.

898
00:50:59,792 --> 00:51:01,875
Thank you.
‐ Thank you, thank you.

899
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:20,042
‐ Jesus, Richard.
Germany didn't happen.

900
00:51:20,042 --> 00:51:22,417
It was never going to happen.
You gotta get over it.

901
00:51:22,417 --> 00:51:24,000
Enough of the map.

902
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,292
‐ You know it's my weakness,

903
00:51:27,292 --> 00:51:30,333
obsessing over things,
driving everyone crazy.

904
00:51:30,333 --> 00:51:32,208
‐ Oh, you?
No.

905
00:51:32,208 --> 00:51:36,667
‐ I'm aware I'm not the most
popular member of the family.

906
00:51:36,667 --> 00:51:41,167
But, uh, I always felt like
we had a special bond.

907
00:51:41,167 --> 00:51:43,458
‐ Oh, yeah?

908
00:51:43,458 --> 00:51:47,833
‐ We're the outsiders, hmm?

909
00:51:47,833 --> 00:51:50,375
The different ones.

910
00:51:52,500 --> 00:51:56,042
I always hated the way some
people judged your girlfriends,

911
00:51:56,042 --> 00:51:58,458
like you had a social disease.

912
00:51:58,458 --> 00:52:01,333
It brought me so much joy
when I met Susan.

913
00:52:01,333 --> 00:52:02,917
I knew you two
would end up together.

914
00:52:02,917 --> 00:52:05,458
I remember telling your father

915
00:52:05,458 --> 00:52:09,667
that I felt that you two
made a wonderful couple.

916
00:52:11,583 --> 00:52:14,833
‐ I remember him saying
that you said that,

917
00:52:14,833 --> 00:52:18,000
and I, uh‐‐
I really appreciated it.

918
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:22,375
‐ It makes me so happy you get
to be with the woman you love.

919
00:52:22,375 --> 00:52:26,708
‐ Well, look, I‐‐I always hated
how your father used money

920
00:52:26,708 --> 00:52:29,500
to control you,
your choices, your life.

921
00:52:29,500 --> 00:52:30,667
I hated that.

922
00:52:37,875 --> 00:52:41,583
‐ I don't know about you,
but I think it's time

923
00:52:41,583 --> 00:52:44,500
we moved beyond what the family
thinks is best for us.

924
00:52:46,625 --> 00:52:50,125
It's time
for some new traditions.

925
00:52:50,125 --> 00:52:52,000
‐ Like what?

926
00:52:53,833 --> 00:52:56,458
‐ Richard Sackler has requested
a vote for president,

927
00:52:56,458 --> 00:52:57,875
which requires
separate majorities

928
00:52:57,875 --> 00:53:00,000
from A shares and B shares.

929
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,333
Per his request,
B shares will vote first.

930
00:53:03,333 --> 00:53:06,750
All in favorite of elevating
Richard Sackler to president,

931
00:53:06,750 --> 00:53:08,667
please raise your hand.

932
00:53:20,042 --> 00:53:23,542
‐ Oh, almost lost your brother

933
00:53:23,542 --> 00:53:25,125
on that one,
didn't you, Richie?

934
00:53:25,125 --> 00:53:28,125
‐ B shares agree to promote
Richard Sackler to president.

935
00:53:28,125 --> 00:53:30,375
A shares will now vote.

936
00:53:30,375 --> 00:53:33,417
All in favor of promoting
Richard Sackler to president,

937
00:53:33,417 --> 00:53:34,958
please raise your hand.

938
00:53:45,667 --> 00:53:46,917
‐ What the hell's going on?

939
00:53:46,917 --> 00:53:48,333
A shares
have a majority,

940
00:53:48,333 --> 00:53:50,625
and Richard Sackler is
now named president

941
00:53:50,625 --> 00:53:51,875
of Purdue Pharma.

942
00:53:51,875 --> 00:53:54,708
‐ Thank you so much.

943
00:53:54,708 --> 00:53:57,625
My first act as president is

944
00:53:57,625 --> 00:54:01,833
to request the allotment

945
00:54:01,833 --> 00:54:05,208
of profits be increased
significantly

946
00:54:05,208 --> 00:54:07,917
and distributed immediately

947
00:54:07,917 --> 00:54:10,833
to both A shares and B shares.

948
00:54:10,833 --> 00:54:14,958
I also nominate Kathe Sackler
to be vice president.

949
00:54:18,125 --> 00:54:21,542
Looks like the kids pulled one
over on you, Morty.

950
00:54:21,542 --> 00:54:23,583
‐ God damn you!
God damn all of you!

951
00:54:23,583 --> 00:54:25,542
‐ Sorry, Dad, but it's time.

952
00:54:25,542 --> 00:54:27,208
‐ She's right, Morty.
It's time.

953
00:54:27,208 --> 00:54:28,625
‐ Hey, hey, hey!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

954
00:54:28,625 --> 00:54:29,833
Get your hands
off me!

955
00:54:29,833 --> 00:54:31,000
‐ Hey!

956
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,667
‐ You are a miserable son
of a bitch!

957
00:54:33,667 --> 00:54:37,625
Don't touch me!
Sorry.

958
00:54:48,833 --> 00:54:50,958
Hi, um,
Mr. Mountcastle?

959
00:54:50,958 --> 00:54:53,042
Um, this is Maureen Sera.

960
00:54:53,042 --> 00:54:57,333
And I just‐‐
I'm having a hard time.

961
00:54:57,333 --> 00:54:59,958
If you could just call me back,
that would be great.

962
00:54:59,958 --> 00:55:01,542
Okay, bye.

963
00:55:10,958 --> 00:55:13,958
Please!
Please, you have to help me!

964
00:55:13,958 --> 00:55:15,875
I need something for the pain.

965
00:55:15,875 --> 00:55:18,375
Please!
You don't know.

966
00:55:18,375 --> 00:55:20,667
I just need some Oxy
or a Vicodin.

967
00:55:20,667 --> 00:55:22,125
All I need is‐‐

968
00:55:22,125 --> 00:55:23,500
‐ The doctor said there was
nothing wrong with you.

969
00:55:23,500 --> 00:55:26,583
‐ That's not true.
Please, can you help me?

970
00:55:26,583 --> 00:55:29,208
‐ I'm so sorry.
‐ Ms. Sera, we can't.

971
00:55:29,208 --> 00:55:31,583
‐ Then get the fuck out.

972
00:55:31,583 --> 00:55:34,667
You don't understand.

973
00:55:34,667 --> 00:55:37,375
Don't touch me.
I'm dying.

974
00:55:37,375 --> 00:55:39,333
‐ You're not dying.
It's okay.

975
00:55:53,792 --> 00:55:57,792
‐ She's relapsing
from the stress.

976
00:55:57,792 --> 00:56:00,208
‐ God, I feel terrible.

977
00:56:00,208 --> 00:56:02,208
‐ I do, too.

978
00:56:08,333 --> 00:56:10,292
She can't testify.

979
00:56:10,292 --> 00:56:12,000
‐ No.

980
00:56:25,042 --> 00:56:28,875
‐ So you, um‐‐you weren't
always religious, were you?

981
00:56:31,958 --> 00:56:34,458
‐ I converted in 1995.

982
00:56:34,458 --> 00:56:38,292
‐ Wow, that's not, uh‐‐
that's not very long ago.

983
00:56:38,292 --> 00:56:40,958
‐ Eight years.

984
00:56:40,958 --> 00:56:44,958
‐ Did something happen that‐‐
that caused you to convert?

985
00:56:48,875 --> 00:56:51,208
‐ I just want
to be a better person.

986
00:56:58,208 --> 00:57:00,125
Were you ever religious?

987
00:57:05,667 --> 00:57:07,208
‐ No.

988
00:57:21,042 --> 00:57:23,958
‐ Samuel, you have a visitor.

989
00:57:33,792 --> 00:57:35,708
‐ Hey, Billy.
‐ Hey.

990
00:57:35,708 --> 00:57:38,250
‐ Thank you for coming.

991
00:57:38,250 --> 00:57:41,042
I know this, uh‐‐this
probably isn't easy on you.

992
00:57:41,042 --> 00:57:45,458
‐ No, of course.
Um...

993
00:57:45,458 --> 00:57:47,667
How long you here for?

994
00:57:47,667 --> 00:57:50,792
‐ 90 days, mandatory.
It's, um,

995
00:57:50,792 --> 00:57:53,417
lucky I'm not in jail.

996
00:57:53,417 --> 00:57:57,833
I'm only on probation,
'cause it's my first offense.

997
00:58:00,667 --> 00:58:03,375
Lost my medical license.

998
00:58:03,375 --> 00:58:06,542
‐ Oh, my God.
I'm sorry.

999
00:58:06,542 --> 00:58:09,500
‐ Sit.
Don't be.

1000
00:58:09,500 --> 00:58:13,667
It's‐‐you know...

1001
00:58:13,667 --> 00:58:17,000
I'm lucky I'm alive.

1002
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:19,875
‐ I, um‐‐

1003
00:58:19,875 --> 00:58:22,208
I promise,

1004
00:58:22,208 --> 00:58:25,208
when I first came to you,

1005
00:58:25,208 --> 00:58:27,375
I didn't know
they were addictive.

1006
00:58:27,375 --> 00:58:30,333
You know, I really believed
what they were telling me.

1007
00:58:30,333 --> 00:58:32,542
‐ Of course you did.
Of course you did.

1008
00:58:32,542 --> 00:58:33,958
Why‐‐why wouldn't you?

1009
00:58:33,958 --> 00:58:37,375
‐ They showed us all this data
from famous doctors...

1010
00:58:37,375 --> 00:58:38,875
Uh‐huh.
‐ And think tanks.

1011
00:58:38,875 --> 00:58:40,208
You know, it was
really convincing.

1012
00:58:40,208 --> 00:58:41,417
‐ Sure.

1013
00:58:41,417 --> 00:58:42,833
You know,
at a certain point,

1014
00:58:42,833 --> 00:58:44,667
you start to realize
there's a problem,

1015
00:58:44,667 --> 00:58:45,958
but you can't stop selling,

1016
00:58:45,958 --> 00:58:49,667
because you're addicted
to the money.

1017
00:58:49,667 --> 00:58:53,208
And we were making so much,
and it's all legal.

1018
00:58:53,208 --> 00:58:54,708
‐ Yeah.

1019
00:58:54,708 --> 00:58:59,500
‐ And, um,

1020
00:58:59,500 --> 00:59:02,458
I lied to you
about, um, my dad.

1021
00:59:05,125 --> 00:59:07,083
He never had cancer.

1022
00:59:10,167 --> 00:59:12,917
And I think I, uh‐‐

1023
00:59:12,917 --> 00:59:16,833
I said that because

1024
00:59:16,833 --> 00:59:22,000
I wanted you to be comfortable
with me, you know?

1025
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:24,667
And I'm so sorry.

1026
00:59:27,417 --> 00:59:31,625
It's all one big lie,
and I know that now.

1027
00:59:31,625 --> 00:59:36,292
But I‐‐I don't know
how to stop, you know?

1028
00:59:36,292 --> 00:59:40,958
It's the first time in my life
I feel like I'm something.

1029
00:59:40,958 --> 00:59:42,458
I have things.

1030
00:59:42,458 --> 00:59:44,792
I‐‐I have everything
I ever wanted, but‐‐

1031
00:59:44,792 --> 00:59:48,167
‐ Hey, hey, hey.

1032
00:59:48,167 --> 00:59:52,292
It's okay.

1033
00:59:52,292 --> 00:59:56,167
Life's hard, you know?

1034
00:59:56,167 --> 00:59:59,833
It takes some‐‐

1035
00:59:59,833 --> 01:00:04,583
takes some crazy turns, right?

1036
01:00:04,583 --> 01:00:06,583
I didn't ask you
to come down here to,

1037
01:00:06,583 --> 01:00:08,458
you know, tell you, "Hey,

1038
01:00:08,458 --> 01:00:10,917
you should leave your company
and get on out of there."

1039
01:00:10,917 --> 01:00:14,625
I didn't ask‐‐that's not why
I called you down here.

1040
01:00:14,625 --> 01:00:18,750
‐ You‐‐you didn't?
No, no.

1041
01:00:25,750 --> 01:00:28,083
Hey.

1042
01:00:28,083 --> 01:00:30,583
You think you can
get me some pills?

1043
01:00:35,292 --> 01:00:36,708
‐ So here we go.

1044
01:00:36,708 --> 01:00:37,833
‐ Hi there.
Thank you.

1045
01:00:37,833 --> 01:00:39,417
‐ You can take a look at these.
‐ Great.

1046
01:00:39,417 --> 01:00:40,833
Howard.

1047
01:00:40,833 --> 01:00:44,292
‐ So as you can see,
it's a gorgeous glass building.

1048
01:00:44,292 --> 01:00:48,792
It's 450,000 square feet,
sits on five acres.

1049
01:00:48,792 --> 01:00:51,833
It's located in Stamford's
Central Business District,

1050
01:00:51,833 --> 01:00:54,958
so walking distance
to restaurants, shops.

1051
01:00:54,958 --> 01:00:56,625
‐ What's the listing price?

1052
01:00:56,625 --> 01:00:59,042
‐ 84 million.

1053
01:00:59,042 --> 01:01:01,167
‐ You sure about this?

1054
01:01:01,167 --> 01:01:04,708
We won't even be able
to move in for a few years.

1055
01:01:06,833 --> 01:01:10,958
‐ What if we pay all cash?

1056
01:01:10,958 --> 01:01:15,208
‐ Yes, I'm‐‐I'm sure that
could help the negotiation.

1057
01:01:15,208 --> 01:01:16,458
‐ Good.

1058
01:01:20,875 --> 01:01:24,500
Tell them we'll be
making an all‐cash offer.

1059
01:01:24,500 --> 01:01:26,500
‐ Well done, Mr. President.
