Episode two exposes corporate conspiracies where companies knew their products killed people but lied for decades. Big Tobacco's internal documents prove they knew cigarettes caused cancer since the 1950s while publicly denying it, creating doubt as their deliberate strategy. Purdue Pharma knew OxyContin was highly addictive, with executives joking about "hillbilly heroin" while the opioid epidemic killed over half a million Americans. The Radium Girls were poisoned by companies that knew radium was deadly but told workers it was safe. Johns-Manville calculated acceptable cancer deaths from asbestos exposure rather than warn workers. Volkswagen programmed cars to cheat emissions tests while marketing "clean diesel." Facebook hid research proving Instagram harmed teenage girls' mental health, choosing profit over children's wellbeing. The pattern never changes: know the harm, hide evidence, attack whistleblowers, pay settlements, avoid personal consequences.
