ELIZABETH HOLMES: Hello, Walgreens!

Welcome to Theranos.

CYNTHIA: Theranos is gonna be in stores!

ELIZABETH: Retail is in freefall.

So you're going to have to find a new source of revenue.

For example, a wellness center.

- You can't put this in stores!

- You're fired. BRENDAN: If you fire Ian,

you'll have to fire me.

You wanna fire me?

SECURITY: This is your new desk.

- But, but my lab's downstairs.

- Project Beta!

- We are looking to make a strategic connection in government.

Having George Schultz would be a game-changer.

- It's wonderful.

- We start construction at the Arizona store soon,

so trying to get everything ready.

So, um...

I just wanted to get a sense

of how much longer you guys are going to need

before we can launch the wellness centers.

Obviously, we had agreed on February.

That passed last month.

- What is this?

- That's where the device will go.

But we don't have dimensions

or any details yet, so--

I mean, obviously, we would like to get them as soon as possible.

[sighs]

I hate to be the bad guy here,

but I'm going to need a firm date.

- I, I thought you understood that

this process was going to be long.

JAY ROSEN: Absolutely.

But it has been three years.

And we have put in about $140 million.

So I think that Wade is getting a little bit frustrated.

- Wade?

If you're not the one calling the shots,

then maybe I should just give Wade a call.

WADE: We can skip the call.

Because I'm here.

ROSEN: Okay.

Well, I said I could handle it.

- Can you guys give us a moment?

DR. J: Isn't that comfy?

- It's fine.

So... Elizabeth.

We're building these wellness centers in our stores.

Two in Arizona, one in Palo Alto--

- Well, I, I explained that,

that this device is-- - Yeah, you've explained.

Except there's nothing to explain because

we don't have this.

So here's my question.

When do we get it?

- Wade, we care deeply about our partnership.

And we're anxious to put our best foot forward.

- And what's the timeline for,

"We are anxious to put our best foot forward"?

Because I've got one.

You want to hear it?

Hmm?

September.

- September.

- Six months from now.

No more breaks, no more extensions.

- We'll be ready in September.

- Okay.

Oh, also, Wade asked me about the lawsuit.

He just found out that I guess you're suing

your old next-door neighbor from when you were growing up?

Richard Fu-eez?

- Fuisz. Yeah, he, uh, applied for competing patents

to try to get us to pay him off.

What? Does this door not work?

- And he thought you'd settle. - Where's the door?

- Right, right. Well, just putting this out there.

But is this the best time to be in the middle of a lawsuit?

Wade would prefer if it was all cleared up by the launch.

- It will be. We just hired David Boies to represent us.

- David Boies.

Wow. The big guns. - We're declaring war.

- Richard, it's that man again.

The car is still there. Richard!

I see you. I see you.

I see you. Yes, you. [car engine starts]

Beth. Judy.

They're going to chew on this for a month.

- I can't do this anymore.

Just end it. End the lawsuit.

That car's been out there all morning.

They're watching us.

- Well, of course, they are.

Of course, they are.

They think they can intimidate us

because they're rich, entitled pricks.

But we're not intimidated. - We're not? Because I am.

Settle it. Who cares? It's one patent.

- You want to give her more money.

- I just want it to be over.

- If I settle now, I'm the schmuck.

I'm giving them what they want.

And then, what did I spend

hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees for.

- I can't even talk about the amount of money you spent.

- I had to defend myself and my family.

She's coming after us.

- Why are you doing this?

- Look-- okay, wait, I--

I want to show you something. Sit down.

I, I had a-a-a breakthrough.

Look at these. - What are these?

- Theranos patents. And there, right there.

There's a man whose name is on every patent with Elizabeth.

They told me to come here. - I'm Linda Tanner.

I'm part of Theranos' in-house legal team.

How exciting.

Which means that you represent the company, not me.

- Okay, that's not how I would characterize it.

- You're going to want me to say and do whatever benefits the company.

- I do represent Theranos and your interests align with Theranos' interests.

- And I'm left to defend myself and my reputation and my work.

She banned me from, from my own lab.

I'm barred from, from meetings and emails.

I come in, I sit at my desk all day long,

but I haven't done any real chemistry for, for three years, Linda.

I would leave, but I need the health insurance.

and your name is on multiple patents that belong to Theranos.

- Patents? - Mm-hmm.

until legal has a plan to get you out of testifying, okay?

Because you need a strategy with him.

- I think I can handle it.

- If you want him on record sounding crazy,

get him to talk about me.

- Why do you think he, uh, subpoenaed Ian Gibbons?

Why Ian?

Because my understanding is

that Ian's name is on the patents with yours,

so he can testify as to your contributions.

Does Ian know something that we should know?

- No, of course not.

- Yeah. So I know what it can't do.

And I know that it's not ready to replace the Siemens machine.

People have been using the Siemens machine for years.

They trust it, it's reliable,

and it can run multiple samples at the same time.

- How?

- How? How what? - How does it work?

Someone tell me how this one works!

What does it do that ours doesn't?

- Well, it, it uses larger, uh, blood samples.

- It's a completely different machine.

So barring me breaking it open and looking at all the parts,

I can't tell you in any detail how it works.

- Why haven't we done that yet?

Why haven't we broken into the Siemens machine?

- Well, because it's--

It's another company's tech.

ELIZABETH: Under no circumstances are we opening it up.

It's not our IP.

Okay? The branding for Theranos is a small, portable device.

The Siemens machine is a dinosaur.

But this one works, ours doesn't.

to Slovenian immigrants."

I went back to Pennsylvania and built a small office.

A world in which no one ever has to say goodbye too soon.

[cheering and applause]

Our new logo is based on The Flower of Life.

Intersecting circles connecting us all.

Alchemy.

Dark becomes light.

Death becomes life.

We can take something terrible

and pointless and make it into something perfect.

[cheering and applause]

Yeah, that's right.

This isn't just my company.

This isn't just my job.

This is my religion.

This is who I am.

And anyone who doubts my company

doubts me.

Does anyone here doubt me?

Does anybody here doubt me?

EMPLOYEES: No.

- If you do, you can get the fuck out.

[scattered laughter]

- We launch in Walgreens in 48 hours!

That's right. We did it.

[cheering and applause]

[whistling]

- Fuck yeah!

- You heard about the Halloween party coming up?

It's supposed to be crazy.

There's gonna be a bounce house.

I'm Mark. I'm the new lab director.

- Hi, I'm Tyler.

- It's all good.

[cheering and applause continue]

- We lost Ian.

And you kept his widow's testimony out.

So here we are.

- Nice to see you again.

Can I get you something to drink?

I'm just having some Cheez-Its.

[laughs]

- God, you're good.

I read your memoir.

Courting Justice. Great pun.

- I thought it was fun.

- Published by Miramax Books.

You represent Miramax and Harvey Weinstein.

Oh, and you started a film finance company.

They help you with that? [David chuckles]

That's a little messy,

but... you're pretty good at cleaning up messes.

- What is it about Cheez-Its? Huh?

I just can't get enough of 'em.

You think it's the aftertaste?

- You came from a small town, like me.

You want people to think you're a sweet old law professor,

with your cheap suits and your Cheez-Its.

But you just want the money and you want to win.

- And speaking of winning...

here's what we're offering.

You withdraw the patent, and we'll drop the lawsuit against you.

- Oh, sure.

Okay, fine. DAVID: Good.

Good.

We're going to get the paperwork sorted out.

- But, um,

I'm not done with this.

I'm going to figure it out.

Everything you're not telling me?

I'm going to figure it out.

- Well...

goodbye, Dr. Fuisz.

[cell phone ringing]

- What?

Richard Fuisz.

I haven't seen you since the investor's conference.

What can I do for you? - Phyllis. Hello.

I don't know if you've heard, but, uh, I was sued recently.

PHYLLIS GARDNER: What? No.

I hadn't heard that. You okay?

RICHARD FUISZ: Oh, I'm great.

Just great.

I heard you maybe knew Elizabeth Holmes.

She was a student when you were--

- Elizabeth Holmes. Of course, I do.

She's always been a fraud.
