Vicky shows a retractable safety needle invented by engineer Jeffrey Matthew Dancort, who owns the Safety Point Company, but is unable to sell his product to any hospital from the United Medical group, apart from San Antonio Memorial.

based on a true story

- l don't give a f*** of that

b*tch. - She freaked out?

Yeah.

ls there anything more bored

than patterns on hotel room?

l know.

Why they can't just use solid

colors?

Easier to hide the stains.

That's so right.

We gotta get the f*** off the

stain.

Who you waiting for?.

Hello, Mike.

Can you turn off that goddamn

music?

Yeah, for most part, yeah.

Yeah, l guess you can say that.

So it's bullshit they fired a

guy because of falsifying his

resume...

lt because he exposed the work

orders.

lt's a little late to change

your tactic, isn't it?

lt's all warp out on the

repairs.

But it didn't matter because

they never gonna do the repairs

to begin with.

Hey, lad, shut the f*** up!

- Hey! - Mike, where are you?

Just hanging out with some

friends.

You know what? You get some

sleep, l got this, okay?.

- Hey! - Bye.

Hi.

- You still sleeping?. - Yes.

So you try to tell the juror

the reason my client was fired..

.

Was because his falsify his

resume.

Not because he went bob your

head...

And reported the trucks not

getting fixed, and people are

dying as result. Correct?

Say yes.

- Yes. - Now, you also already

said...

That you won't even re-review

my client resume...

After he went to the media,

correct?

- Yeah. - On, May 9th...

Trucks went to the house Alex

Foreman for the broken water

pump.

That's result on Mr. Foreman

burning to death...

On June 1 7th...

Another house went to the house

Crystal Dorgan...

Also with the non-working pump

also ending with Ms. Dorgan

burning...

- To death. - ls that true?

- lt is. - Not sh*t?

- Damn. - He knew sent non-

working fire trucks on the

house on fire?

- He says he didn't. - But you

just say the trucks were broken.

..

Because the work orders were

deleted.

Work order could be anything.

lt could be broken ladder...

lt could be tire alignment.

lt could be a tear on the fire

suit fabric.

But it wasn't a tear on the

f***ing suit fabric.

The damn pumps won't work,

right?

So if the work orders were

being deleted...

And you didn't know the trucks

need to be fix...

They were never gonna be repair

to begin with, were they?.

So... l'm sorry, after you

realize the paper works system..

.

For the work orders were so

screw up...

That you accidentally approved

actually have...

Working water pumps.

Realizing this, by the way,

because my client...

Expose the fire department

bureaucratic mess to the public.

After you realize this, you

felt...

The best suggestive of your

time...

Would not be go back and fix

the system...

ln an effort to prevent the

death of more innocent people...

You thought the first thing you

should do...

What looking for my client job

application and resume...

Even though he already been

working for the department...

For 4 years.

- That maybe what it looks like.

.. - l'm sorry, sir.

To simple question, which is

you look into first?

The work order system that just

cause death 2 innocent people?

Or 4 year old job application

of an employee...

That just publicly humiliated

you?

And l remind you, sir, that

you're under oath.

l guess the application was

first.

No further question, Your Honor.

You serious?

ln fact is...

Fantastic.

Come on, Mike. You should take

this seriously.

Then you should really have a

drink, counselor.
