INTERVIEWER: What do you dream for?
That less people have to say goodbye too soon
to people they love.
♪ (MUSIC PLAYS) ♪
MAN: I had heard about Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes.
You know, her story's so compelling.
She was going to herald a revolution
in medical treatment in this country.
MAN 2: It was obviously, such an incredible story.
A woman creating this nine-billion-dollar company.

The idea with the Edison was to stick

MAN 8: Quite frankly, people can die.

I called The Wall Street Journal.
What is coming out of her mouth is not reality.
WOMAN 2: She never thought she had any limits.
She was gonna conquer the world.
