- I figured it out alone.

- Oh, you figured it out.

You almost failed out of Stanford
your senior year.

You want to explain to me
about statistics?

You want to tell me
all about how labs work?

You think you know better than all of us?

- No. I--

I'm just trying to do the right thing.

- Oh god.
You think you're the good guy here?

The only reason I've taken
so much time away from my work

to address you personally is because
you are George Shultz's grandson.

Do you get that?

- Yeah, I get that.

So I'm going to go ahead
and give my two weeks' notice.

- I don't want two weeks. Leave now.

Tyler. Hello.

I just received a call from Elizabeth.

She told me that you quit today
in a very unprofessional manner.

- Yeah, that's actually what we came
to talk to you about.

- You believe Theranos
is lying to regulators?

- Yeah, but there's a lot more
we don't know

because no one will tell us,

so that's why we need you
to start asking questions.

- No.

I won't.

- I...

Why, why not?

- You don't have all the information.

You're jumping to conclusions
without knowing the context,

which is, I'm sorry to say this,

petulant and immature.

CHARLOTTE: George.

They both work there.

They know what they saw.

- No. No.

There are very few times in my life

the chance to do something

that is purely good.

And this is one of those times.

This company is going to save lives.

- No, I just--

And I saw the results.

Are you telling me that isn't true?

ERIKA: Yes, I am.

She's lying.

How is Theranos defrauding Walgreens?

JOHN: The Theranos Wellness Center,
according to Mark Roessler,

packs the Arizona samples into a cooler

to be shipped
to their laboratories in Palo Alto.

Now sometimes, the coolers
are left unattended for hours,

and the blood samples
literally bake in the sun.

And by the time the samples reach
their final destination,

the blood is often clotted
and completely unusable, right?

If, however, the sample is still viable,

Theranos dilutes the blood

and processes it
on a modified Siemens machine.

What do you think?

- How many sources?

- I have one for now--
- Not enough--

- But I have contacted 20 employees.

They're scared.
They've all signed NDA.

- I can't run this story
off of one anonymous source.

- I know. Mark Roessler gave me
the names of two lab associates

who recently left the company.

I've reached out
to one of them on LinkedIn.

I'm hoping he's going to respond.

- Associates. How young?

- Early 20s.
- Ugh.

They're going to get hit with a lot.

Do you think they're ready?

- Have you seen the names on that board?

James Mattis, Henry Kissinger.
