Elizabeth, this is Erika Cheung.

It's her first day.

- Welcome to Theranos.

- Here, put it on the camera
on your computer.

- Why?

- So they can't watch you.

- If Ian had testified, it would have
invalidated Theranos' patents.

- For a story like this, I really need
someone with firsthand knowledge.

ERIKA CHEUNG: They must be running
everything on the Siemens machines

to get around the regulators.

- Do you really think
she'd let that happen?

- Dude, she is the CEO.
She knows what's going on.

- Are you running
the Edison proficiency tests

on Siemens machines?

- You have no idea
what you're talking about.

- You believe Theranos
is lying to regulators?

- Yeah, that's why we need you
to start asking questions.

- No, I won't.

- I'm ready for your questions now.

- How is Theranos defrauding Walgreens?

JOHN CARREYROU: [on phone] Yeah, hello.

TYLER SCHULTZ:
Uh, John Carreyrou?

This is Tyler Schultz.

BILL CLINTON: You founded

- So the Theranos report
for the patient came back

showing an abnormally high TSH value.

- But the patient was already taking
thyroid medication

to lower that value?
- Precisely.

And the Theranos results indicated
the medication wasn't working.

- Was Theranos correct?

- This patient was pregnant, okay.

Increasing her dosage would have made
her thyroid hormone levels so high,

it would have put her pregnancy at risk.

- Would you go on the record with this?

- Abso-fucking-lutely.

- I tracked down a patient
who spent Thanksgiving in the ER

because a Theranos test
told her incorrectly

she was having a stroke.
- Mm.

- Thousands of dollars in medical bills.

I spoke with a cancer survivor,

took a Theranos test,
thought her cancer had come back.

- Jesus.

- I have three doctors on the record.

I have the Mark Roessler emails.

- He sent you those?

- No, not yet, but he should shortly.

From what he describes,
they're pretty damning.

I've got Gardner and Gibbons on the record

and Tyler Schultz on background.

- Wait, wait, uh, back up. Tyler who?

- This kid worked in the labs
with Erika Cheung.

He's George Schultz's grandson.

- Huh.

Does Schultz know his grandson
is talking to us?

- Oh no. And I have to make sure
he doesn't.

- Yeah, no shit.

- It smells really good.
- Mm-hmm.

- Can I have the crackers?
- Nope.

So we ought to be thankful
that Elizabeth Holmes wasn't running

the USSR in the '80s.

- Yeah.

- Okay, so you do know
what I'm going to ask--

- She's not going to talk to me, Judith.

I'm the only reporter in America
she will not give an interview to.

- Doesn't matter.
We have to be able to say

we made every effort
to allow Theranos to respond.

- I sent them a list of questions.

- Okay.
- I am a little bit worried

they're going to come after my sources.

They've got David Boies representing them.

- Yeah, fuck that.

Whatever they throw at us,
we can handle it.

who doesn't understand.

- Elizabeth...

I've worked for two presidents,

Nixon and Reagan,

who made bad decisions.

Nixon, more so.

But Reagan

got mixed up in the Iran-Contra affair,

and it hurt his legacy.

He was a great man.

But he started listening
to the wrong people.

It's easy to make the mistake
of listening to the wrong people.

If mistakes were made...

I think it might be time
to consider whether you have

the right people around you.

If Sunny is the right person.

- Baby, how did it go with George?

I said, how did it go with George?

- I have to pack for my Harvard Board
dinner tonight and I don't--

SUNNY: I laid out your clothes.

- Yeah, I don't want to wear
what you picked out.

SUNNY: Just wear it, why don't you?

- I don't know what
I'm supposed to fucking do.

I don't even know
when it's going to come out.

I don't know what it's going to say.

You should have protected me.

- Okay.

I see.

George told you to blame me.

That's what you're going to do?
You're going to blame me?

- No.

Of course not.

I have to meet the jet.

- Because I know everything that you know.

[zipping suitcase]
- What?

- You were on all of those e-mails.

- Well, I'm the CEO.

And I don't always read all of my e-mails.

[zipper closing]

I love you, Tiger.

I miss you already.

- Miss you too.

[buzzing]

- Richard.
RICHARD: They killed it.

It's dead.

You fucked it up.

I knew it.

You got cocky and you fucked it up.

I'm taking it somewhere else.

- [winces]
It's too late for that.

- Oh, is that right?
Is that what you think?

Hah. No way, buddy. No way!

- It's running tonight, buddy.

- Tonight? What? The--
JOHN: Mm-hmm.

RICHARD: Really?

Yes!

That's, uh, good.

That's good. You, you got it done.

- Yeah, well, you're welcome.

- Oh, what, am I supposed to thank you?

I gave it to you on a plate.

- I hope you can go out tonight,
have a drink,

celebrate with your family.

- With my family.

Uh, good.

Uh, well, uh, goodbye.

If, if you get anything wrong,
I'll call you.

- [chuckles]
I'm expecting you to. Goodnight.

[laughs]

- Oh yes.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

[laughing]

Oh! Good!

Yes!

Ahh. [grunts]

Oh good.

That's done.

- Hi. Could have a glass of water, please?

- A whiskey with ice.

- Phyllis, I saw you were
on the board as well.

- I am, yes, and now you are too.

- Yes, I'm, I'm so honored
to be asked to advise

the dean of Medical School on strategies.

- It is an honor.

- Yeah, it is good to see you--

- I'm looking forward to reading
the article in the Journal.

Yes, I know about it.

I think a lot of people
will be interested in it.

And when this becomes a scandal,
because it will become a scandal,

what do you think happens
to all of the other women

who want to start companies?

Who do they go to?

Who's going to trust them?

Because it's not just you.

It's never just you.

- It was good to see you, Phyllis.

- Don't call me Phyllis.
I'm not Phyllis to you.

I'm Dr. Gardner.

ELIZABETH: You know,
I realized something last night.

This is what happens.

This is what happens
when you work to change things.

First, they think you're crazy.

And then they fight you.

And then all of a sudden
you change the world.

By now, you've probably seen
the article published

about our company
in The Wall Street Journal.

The man who wrote it, John Carreyrou,

is a spiteful man.

He is a sad man.

But we are a team.

And we will be fighting

every single

tiny... detail.
