This is an investigation of Theranos Inc

violations of federal security laws.

What if you could test your blood

in your own home?

And what if it's not a whole vial

but just a drop?

I wanted to ask you
if you would consider

investing my tuition money
into the company.

How would we pay for your tuition?

Well, you won't have to because
I'm going to drop out.

It's not a regular day.

Why do you run so weird.

I mean, I guess compared
to other electrical engineers,

you run totally normal.

Uh, at that time,

we were trying to develop
a working prototype.

Who is "we"?

- Edmond Ku,
head of engineering,

and Rakesh Dewan.

Ian, um,

Gibbons,
head of chemistry.

I'm going to apply
some pressure, Ian.

- Ah!
- That hurts?

- Just a bit, yeah.

- He's been in a lot of pain.

Only the foot.

And who needs feet anyway?

- The pain in your feet is
a late effect of the chemo.

It's called hand-foot syndrome.

The bad news is that
it might not go away.

- God fuckin' hell.

- Did you know that
chemotherapy was discovered

when two sadistic pharmacologists

decided to inject mice
with mustard gas?

- That's a fun fact, honey.
But we need to get you back to work.

- Yeah. It's demo day.

- They focused on, uh, the prototype,

and my focus was
I, I needed to bring in the money.

The next step is to bring in

What happened with Novartis?

Could we, could we open
a window or something?

- The windows don't open.

- Novartis won't meet with me
until I have a working prototype,

and, and I can't have
a prototype that works

unless we have enough money
for research,

which I cannot get

until we have a contract with Novartis.

Larry Ellison for you.

Okay.

I'll tell her.

Ms. Holmes,

Don just had
something pressing come up.

I'm afraid he's going
to have to reschedule.

- No.

- You don't want to reschedule?

- No, I-- you can't just cancel
an appointment.

I'm, I'm here already,

and our, our company's doing
something really important.

- Of course.

- And Channing Robertson,
who's the head

of chemical engineering at Stanford,
is on our board.

He's... he's on our board.

We are a real company.

And I had an appointment.

- Are you alright?

Can-can I get you a cup of coffee?

- Would you just tell Don Lucas
that he has lost

a chance to disrupt a $7 billion

blood-testing industry?

Could you tell him that?

- I'll be sure to tell him that.
- Thank you.

Would it be possible
to leave some materials?

I don't see anything.

Ah, patience, my friend.

Now.

Chemiluminescence.

Wow.
Light...

which is generated
without the creation of heat.

We call it cold light.

- Chemiluminescence.
Hmm.

It's how fireflies emit light
in the dark.

Also those glowsticks
that, um, teenagers on drugs like.

And, uh, we're using it
for light-based assays.

Uh, for example, liver function.

So, if we are testing for liver function,

what would you see?

What would happen?

- Uh, chemiluminescent immunoassays
will make liver enzymes

from the blood compete with a--

- Luminol-bound--

- Luminol-bound synthetic form,

uh, to bind to the chip

so if we measure
how brightly the sample glows,

then we can determine how,
how well the liver is functioning.

- Exactly.

Fortunately, um, human beings
are not transparent,

and we absorb light.

So our job, our job is to,

is to make the blood glow

so that it reveals
the body's secrets to us.

Mm.

Listen, don't, um, don't worry,
you'll find an investor.

Yeah, of course the succubi
at Sand Hill Road didn't like you,

but, pssh,

they, they want everything done fast,

and science is maddeningly slow.

Oh, they don't know the first thing
about biochemistry.

- I don't either.

I don't know what I'm talking about.

I'm not a chemist so I, I need--

I don't have ex-experience.

- No, no, no.

You're not a chemist,
but, but I said yes.

You, you asked me to work here,
and I said yes.

- Because you're friends with Channing.

- No! No.

Because... I-I'd been poked with needles

every other day when I had cancer.

And-and-and when I was
at my lowest, I felt,

I felt like a specimen.

Like-like a, like a lab rat, you know?

And we can do something

to make that better.

I, I knew you were young
when I agreed to come and work here,

but you had a--

you had a vision,

and you're a bit,

you're a bit chemiluminescent,
aren't you?

You possess that rare gift

of... of creating light from within.

So you'll light all of us up
and show us what we're made of.

Although, uh,
just out of curiosity, um,

when will we run out of money?

Just so I know so when to, you know,
run off to find another job

Unclench! I love you!

Say it back.

Oh my god!

Let's go wake them up. Okay.
Okay.

We have, we have sepsis.

Oh! We have sepsis.

- Hi. Sorry, we,
we have a problem.

- It's been consistent?

- Every time.

- Girls, girls, girls, girls,
wait for us, wait for us.

- Just one second.
- Edmond!

- One second, one second, one-one second,
one second, one second.

- Girls, girls, don't go too far.

- Yep.

We just keep getting error messages.

Your prototype's not working.
We need your help, Edmond.

I don't know why,
something must have happened--

: I'm sorry.
I'm going to be right behind you.

We only have the sales team here.

Fuck.
Okay, um...

we got to recalibrate it so--

- We need someone's blood.

You.

Are you sure the blood carriage is sealed?

Yeah.

Is the main case fan still spinning?

- Mm-hmm. It just keeps reading error.

- There could be a light leak.
Rakesh, try turning off all the lights.

Come on, come on.

Come on.

- Error.
- Okay, do another, Tommy.

- I can't feel my fingers.
- I don't care!

Okay, I'll do it.

Another. Do another!

Another!

Error. Another.
- Ah shit.

Another!

- Fuck this shit!

Find the light leak.

Put towels over that window.

- No, wait.
Just wait, just wait, just wait.

Somebody call room service.
I have an idea.

Why would you call room service?

- Just trust me.

No light. I'm putting in the card.

Rakesh, don't get crumbs
on the box. What are you doing?

You have to clean your fingers
after you eat that because--

Shit, shit, shit.

- Okay. Alright.
Maybe it's the temperature.

Maybe, like, a thermocouple got damaged
in the flight, huh?

Guys, guys,
no, no, no, it's too cold now.

Remember, it's Switzerland in the winter.
You're practically in the--

- What do you want us to do, Edmond?
Huh?

Guys, what's going on there?
I, I can't see.

- Body heat.

Don't worry, I won't take my clothes off.

Card is in.

Where's, where's Rakesh?
What's he doing? What--

Rakesh, what are you doing?
Okay, don't hug it too hard, Rakesh.

- There's no error message.
Okay, it can't handle it.

- There's no error message.
- Guys, am I on mute?

Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

- Oh my god!

Shit, shit, shit,
it's not actually in.

Hold on. Okay.
Okay, now it's in.

No.

No.

No.

- Okay, guys,
let's take it apart.

Okay, you just want
to soften up the portal--

- I know, bro.

There's no more blood
left in my fingers.

Daddy! Woo!

Hey, sweetie, hi!

Oh my gosh.

Did you guys have fun? Hmm?

What's on your face?
Are you a giraffe?

- Alright, let's go
get in the tub, come on.

- Alright, I'll-I'll-I'll
be with you guys--

- Come on, come on.
- Okay, baby?

Okay.

Okay, uh--

Uh, yeah, sorry, guys, I'm just, uh--

Fi-fi-fire!

Oh! Shit!

Shit, shit, shit, shit.

What--

Why--

Why did this happen?

I explained.

It, it wasn't reliable. I--

I don't know. Maybe, um--

Maybe you should get
some sleep, Elizabeth.

You, you look exhausted.

- Yeah. Yeah.

I'm gonna get some sleep.

Thank you for your help, Edmond.

You're welcome--

- Okay, uh, thanks, guys,
I think we're done.

Good work, man.

Thanks.

Try and get some sleep, yeah?

- Rakesh.
Thank you.

Yeah?

- Hey.

What are we gonna show
at the demo?

- I thought we were going to bed.

- Yeah, but what are we
gonna show at the demo?

- I, I don't understand.

I, I-- we-we're gonna tell them
that we don't have a working prototype.

- But it worked before.

Everybody saw it.

We still have a reading saved.

From when it worked.
