LAWYER:
This is an investigation of Theranos Inc

to determine whether there have been
violations of federal security laws.

ELIZABETH HOLMES:
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.

CHRIS HOLMES:
How would we pay for your tuition?

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

You're not going to push me away again.

I'm going to protect you.
- I know.

LITTLE GIRL: Fix it, Daddy, fix it.

Fix it, Daddy, fix it!

Fix it, Daddy, fix it.
Fix it, Daddy, fix it!

Just tell her
you don't have time to fix it.

But you can fix anything.

- [HORN HONKING]
- I'm gonna fix it, alright?

- Alright. Okay.
- Okay.

PAULA: What time are you gonna be home?

I will, uh, I'll call you later, okay.

Bye.

- RAKESH: It's not a regular day.
- I'm coming.

It's demo day. Let's go.

Why do you run so weird.

I mean, I guess compared
to other electrical engineers,

you run totally normal.

ELIZABETH: Uh, at that time,

we were trying to develop
a working prototype.

LAWYER: Who is "we"?

Edmond Ku, head of engineering,

and Rakesh Dewan.

Ian, um,

Gibbons, head of chemistry.

DOCTOR: I'm going to apply
some pressure, Ian.

- [WINCES] Ah!
- That hurts?

Just a bit, yeah.

He's been in a lot of pain.

IAN: 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 f*ckin' 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.

Uh, good morning.

Uh, can I get you some coffee?

- Yeah.
- Can I just say

I've never had a boss
who's, like, a girl my age,

and it's so fun.

Okay.

Coffee would be great.

[PANTING]

What would you attempt to do

if you knew you could not fail?

What would you attempt to do?

What would you...

attempt to do

if you knew you could not fail?

They're ready to demo now.

I would like to order

a custom paperweight
with some words on it.

Okay, what do you want it to say?

"What would you attempt to do?"

Last night we worked on
carriage positioning and cartridge seal,

then I replumbed the system.

Yeah, and we got rid of those
well-dressed, but-oh-so sharp turns.

EDMOND KU: Yeah, this
one's not as pretty.

But it's a gentler ride
for our little blood cell friends.

It's incredible.

It's better than I imagined.

We're still testing the coating.

Edmond, you're so good.

He's the best.
He's not as good as me,

- but he's good.
- EDMOND: No, no, no, no, no.

This is your vision, Elizabeth.

And it's inspired everyone here.

Oh no.

Guys, can I be really honest
with you right now?

Every time look at it,
I feel this tingle,

but it's just in my left butt cheek.

It's not in both.

So I'm just wondering
why it's just the left.

Why are you talking about how
your butt feels in front of Elizabeth.

She doesn't care. Do you care?

I think she cares right now.

She was in college, like, yesterday.

Are we ready?

Yeah.

Have I missed it?

Ian, we are just getting started.

Well, if you can make room
for this handsome crippled man.

So...

Everyone, could you gather briefly.

Quickly.



What would you attempt to do

if you knew you could not fail?

I'd wrestle an alligator.

Today, together,

we are taking the first step

toward making healthcare accessible

to everyone in this country.

That's why we work so hard.

Because this machine

and all of us

are going to change the world.

Yeah, we are. Woo!

[ALL CHEERING, WHOOPING]

EDMOND: Good job, but...

uh, it's really just a demo, guys, so.

Uh, you know, we've been testing
some blood for sepsis

because that seems to be
the most reliable test we have so far.

Okay?

Didn't you just take the wind?
He's so modest, right?

[ALL LAUGHING]

♪ pensive music ♪

[SOFTLY] Okay.

So I'm just going to add the
small blood sample to this cartridge

and insert it into the prototype,

uh, which will test it for sepsis.
Here we go.

Okay, I'll, I'll check the fuse box.

Hello, I'd like to pay a bill.

Could-could I actually put it
on a different credit card?

MAN [ON PHONE]: Sure,
what's your address?

CHANNING ROBERTSON: You wanna
know why you're out of money,

because every one
of those cartridges costs $ .

Research at this scale is not cheap,

and I told you that. [SIGHS]

I, I've already raised
six million dollars

from my parents and my family.

- And everybody that I know.
- I'm sorry, but...

Wait, are those ants?

Yeah. Miriam!

Are they back?

- ELIZABETH: Yep.
- Where are they?

You know the patents
Ian is applying for,

so the next step...

[SPRAY HISSING]

The next step is to bring in
pharmaceutical companies,

get them interested to the point
where they will fund the research.

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.

So it's completely illogical.

That's running a startup.

MIRIAM: Okay, they're all dead.

- I'll get your salad?
- Yeah. Thank you.

Are you sure you don't know anybody
who can invest a little bit more?

Me? No, no, no, no, no, no.

You need to start asking for money
from people you don't know.

You need to go out to Sand Hill Road

and start bringing in
venture capital firms.

You've got to learn how to sell this.

MIRIAM: Here's your salad.

Whoa. Whoa.
Don't, don't eat that in here.

Why? I can't, I can't go outside.
I have too much work to do.

This is why you have ants.

I'll take those.

So you have a boyfriend?

No.

That would be too much
of a distraction.

- [KNOCKING ON DOOR]
- Hi, I just want to say that, uh...

Hi, Edmond.

Hey. Um...

Don't worry about the demo, Elizabeth,

because we are going to get there.

We just, um,

need more time.

No problem. I, I'm going
to get you more time.

I'm gonna...

I'm gonna find the money.

Okay, I'm sorry...

[RECEPTIONIST CLEARS THROAT]

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 $ 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?

[MUFFLED SCREAMING]

I don't see anything.

IAN: Ah, patience, my friend.

Now.

Chemiluminescence.

- ELIZABETH: Wow.
- IAN: Light...

which is generated
without the creation of heat.

We call it cold light.

- Chemiluminescence.
- IAN: Hmm.

It's how fireflies emit light
in the dark.

Also those glowsticks
that, um, teenagers on dr*gs 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. [CHUCKLES]

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 [CHUCKLES] 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

[CHUCKLES] for the health insurance,

because I do have this tendency
to occasionally get cancer, you know.

We're just fine.

Yeah, well,

thanks for the tour.

Don.

The blood-testing industry
is run by two companies:

Quest and Labcorp.

And they are dinosaurs.

The tech is ancient.

These machines that are
currently in use are archaic.

These billion-dollar companies expect us

to let them stick us with needles

and then pay for their expensive tests.

No. This is America.
We're cowboys, right?

We should be in control
of our own healthcare.

You were in the army,
and thank you for your service.

Could you imagine

a portable blood-testing device
on the b*ttlefield?

The American lives that could be saved.

Don...

if all you wanted to do is make money,
you'd be on Wall Street,

not in Palo Alto.

That was an original piece.

Dude, you're so pale right now.

I mean, you're gray.
You're, you're ashen.

[LAUGHING]

You look like a powdered donut.

Look in the mirror. [LAUGHS]

- You can go home, Rakesh.
- You go home.

I'm not going home until we figure out
why the blood keeps clotting.

Well, let's try this.

Uh, I put on a new coating.

It won't work, but at least
it will tell us where we are.

RAKESH: Okay.

Ah.

[MACHINE BUZZING, WHIRRING]

[BEEPING]

Wait a minute.

Brother, I, I got a reading.
The test came back.

- Shut up.
- RAKESH: I don't have sepsis.

Holy sh*t. I-I don't have sepsis.
It works.

As long as the room doesn't get
below or above degrees.

I gotta f*cking hug you.

Okay, okay, okay, okay. No, no.

Yes!

Yes! I am going on a business trip.

Yeah!

[EXHALES]

Seriously, this is... huge.

This is Google, this is Yahoo but...

Wait, no, no, no, this is better.

This is, this is going to help people.

I wish we had time to run more trials.

Can you unclench?

Unclench! I love you!

- Say it back.
- I love you, Rakesh.

I love you too. Oh my god!

Okay, okay.

- Let's go wake them up. Okay.
- RAKESH: Okay.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Guess what?

- What?
- We, we, we have sepsis.

We-we do.
We have, we have sepsis.

[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]

We have sepsis?

Oh! We have sepsis.

[ALL LAUGHING]

We have sepsis.

something must have happened...

I'm going to be right behind you.

RAKESH: We only have

- ELIZABETH: f*ck.
- EDMOND: [ON PHONE] Okay, um...

we got to recalibrate it so...

We need someone's blood.

You.

[RAPID BEEPING]

EDMOND: Are you sure the
blood carriage is sealed?

RAKESH: Yeah.

EDMOND: 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.

[WHIRRING]

RAKESH: Come on, come on.

Come on. [RAPID BEEPING]

- [GROANS] 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.

Put towels over that window.

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

Somebody call room service.
I have an idea.

ELIZABETH: Why would
you call room service?

Just trust me.

ELIZABETH: No light.
I'm putting in the card.

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

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

Okay. Alright.
Maybe it's the temperature.

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

[RAPID BEEPING]

EDMOND: 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?

EDMOND: 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.

EDMOND: 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.
EDMOND: 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!

RAKESH: sh*t, sh*t, sh*t,
it's not actually in.

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

[MACHINE WHIRRING]

- [RAPID BEEPING]
- ELIZABETH: No.

No.

[GROANS]

[RAKESH SIGHS] No.

Okay, guys, let's take it apart.

[SIZZLING]

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

I know, bro.

ELIZABETH: There's no more blood
left in my fingers.

GIRL: Daddy! Woo!

EDMOND: Hey, sweetie, hi!

[GASPS] Oh my gosh.

Did you guys have fun? Hmm?

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

[ALL LAUGHING]

Alright, let's go

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

Okay.

Okay, uh...

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

Fi-fi-fire!

RAKESH: Oh! sh*t!

sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

ELIZABETH: What...

Why...

Why did this happen?

EDMOND: 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.

EDMOND: You're welcome...

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

[SIGHS]

Good work, man.

Thanks.

Try and get some sleep, yeah?

- Rakesh.
- 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.
