Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,586 --> 00:00:03,837
Coping mechanisms.
2
00:00:03,838 --> 00:00:05,672
We all have them.
3
00:00:05,673 --> 00:00:07,340
Just ask any New Yorker.
4
00:00:07,341 --> 00:00:10,427
We need them to get
through the day...
5
00:00:13,222 --> 00:00:15,140
to keep our heads up...
6
00:00:15,141 --> 00:00:17,517
to deal with our traumas...
7
00:00:17,518 --> 00:00:19,769
both physical...
8
00:00:19,770 --> 00:00:21,604
and emotional.
9
00:00:24,358 --> 00:00:27,569
Sometimes our trauma
causes us to seek solitude.
10
00:00:30,448 --> 00:00:33,616
While, other times, it causes
us to examine ourselves...
11
00:00:36,495 --> 00:00:39,247
opening us up to
connecting with others,
12
00:00:39,248 --> 00:00:42,959
even if... especially
if... we also fear it.
13
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,669
It's honestly so chaotic.
14
00:00:44,670 --> 00:00:47,589
They're rebooting the third
sequel but calling it a prequel?
15
00:00:47,590 --> 00:00:49,007
Mm-hmm.
16
00:00:49,008 --> 00:00:50,800
That is so wild. Wow.
17
00:00:50,801 --> 00:00:53,052
So... that was my morning.
18
00:00:53,053 --> 00:00:54,471
30 minutes of doom-scrolling
19
00:00:54,472 --> 00:00:57,682
with a side of
espresso... and a Benzo.
20
00:00:57,683 --> 00:01:00,518
Wait. Girl. Are you not here?
21
00:01:00,519 --> 00:01:02,937
Hmm?
22
00:01:02,938 --> 00:01:07,234
Sometimes the ghosts that
haunt us can be seen by others.
23
00:01:08,569 --> 00:01:12,322
And other times, our ghosts
are visible only to ourselves.
24
00:01:20,331 --> 00:01:22,081
Mr. Hill?
25
00:01:23,876 --> 00:01:25,502
You ready?
26
00:01:30,299 --> 00:01:34,178
I'm Dr. Pierce. Welcome
to Bronx General.
27
00:01:35,805 --> 00:01:38,681
Vertical eye movements are
still intact, consistent
28
00:01:38,682 --> 00:01:41,059
with an injury that spared
the mid-brain tectum.
29
00:01:41,060 --> 00:01:42,644
Good morning, sir.
30
00:01:42,645 --> 00:01:45,188
Slept through your alarm?
31
00:01:45,189 --> 00:01:47,023
I got caught up doing research.
32
00:01:47,024 --> 00:01:49,108
I lost track of
time. I'm so sorry.
33
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:52,028
Based on our exam
and his last EEG,
34
00:01:52,029 --> 00:01:53,780
it appears that our
John Doe is suffering
35
00:01:53,781 --> 00:01:55,907
from Locked-In Syndrome.
36
00:01:55,908 --> 00:01:57,575
It's a rare condition
that happens
37
00:01:57,576 --> 00:02:00,161
when part of the brain stem
is permanently damaged.
38
00:02:00,162 --> 00:02:02,914
Often due to a stroke,
which we know John Doe had.
39
00:02:02,915 --> 00:02:05,041
Correct. LIS leaves patients
40
00:02:05,042 --> 00:02:06,793
completely paralyzed
in all their limbs.
41
00:02:06,794 --> 00:02:08,127
He can't talk or communicate
42
00:02:08,128 --> 00:02:09,587
except through
vertical eye movements.
43
00:02:09,588 --> 00:02:11,589
Which suggests that
JD's cognitive abilities
44
00:02:11,590 --> 00:02:13,049
are still intact.
45
00:02:13,050 --> 00:02:14,843
It's just like the
Martin Pistorius case.
46
00:02:14,844 --> 00:02:17,053
He understood everything that
his family was saying to him.
47
00:02:17,054 --> 00:02:19,180
He just didn't have
a way to respond.
48
00:02:19,181 --> 00:02:20,682
If we're right,
John Doe has been
49
00:02:20,683 --> 00:02:23,726
in a very lonely place
for a very long time.
50
00:02:23,727 --> 00:02:26,312
Based on our exam
and his last EEG,
51
00:02:26,313 --> 00:02:28,398
it appears that our
John Doe is suffering
52
00:02:28,399 --> 00:02:30,192
from Locked-In Syndrome...
53
00:02:34,488 --> 00:02:35,989
What about you, Dr. Markus?
54
00:02:35,990 --> 00:02:38,575
Any observations
you'd care to add?
55
00:02:38,576 --> 00:02:41,703
Um... no. Nothing.
56
00:02:41,704 --> 00:02:44,414
But I'll let you know if
I have any gut feelings.
57
00:02:44,415 --> 00:02:46,374
Please do.
58
00:02:46,375 --> 00:02:48,126
Wolf?
59
00:02:48,127 --> 00:02:50,838
Mind if I steal you?
I could use an assist.
60
00:02:53,382 --> 00:02:55,842
John Doe's eyes
are his voice now.
61
00:02:55,843 --> 00:02:57,176
There's somebody behind them.
62
00:02:57,177 --> 00:02:59,805
Our job is to find out who.
63
00:03:01,056 --> 00:03:02,599
So, who's your patient?
64
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,977
His name is Steve Hill. He's
a veteran. Marine Corps.
65
00:03:05,978 --> 00:03:10,064
Suffers from severe anxiety,
depression, intrusive thoughts.
66
00:03:10,065 --> 00:03:11,649
Not uncommon in your department.
67
00:03:11,650 --> 00:03:13,234
Except near the
end of our session,
68
00:03:13,235 --> 00:03:15,695
he told me he's been
seeing ghosts...
69
00:03:15,696 --> 00:03:16,863
of people he served with.
70
00:03:16,864 --> 00:03:18,281
A "Haunted Marine."
71
00:03:18,282 --> 00:03:20,283
It feels that way, yes.
His wife is on her way.
72
00:03:20,284 --> 00:03:22,452
Maybe she can give us some
background and history,
73
00:03:22,453 --> 00:03:25,873
help us figure out where these
"ghosts" are coming from.
74
00:03:27,041 --> 00:03:30,544
Here, babe. I got you.
75
00:03:32,087 --> 00:03:33,838
I told her she
didn't need to come.
76
00:03:33,839 --> 00:03:36,799
Last thing I need is for my wife
to go into labor on the Six.
77
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,718
Well, worse things have
happened on the subway.
78
00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:41,638
I wanted to be here.
79
00:03:41,639 --> 00:03:44,807
Steve's been struggling since
he got home from his deployment.
80
00:03:44,808 --> 00:03:47,143
A lot of days, I'm fine,
but then there are days
81
00:03:47,144 --> 00:03:50,521
when I go to lace my
shoes and I just...
82
00:03:50,522 --> 00:03:52,774
I break down. It's not pretty.
83
00:03:52,775 --> 00:03:54,233
Anna's got enough to deal with.
84
00:03:54,234 --> 00:03:56,486
I want to be a help
to her, not a burden.
85
00:03:56,487 --> 00:03:58,613
Well, the fact that you're
here seeking answers
86
00:03:58,614 --> 00:04:00,406
tells me that you
are not a burden.
87
00:04:00,407 --> 00:04:02,200
Uh, what's in there?
88
00:04:02,201 --> 00:04:03,952
My medical records.
89
00:04:03,953 --> 00:04:05,370
I've got everything documented.
90
00:04:05,371 --> 00:04:07,330
Yeah, well, I see
you've been to the VA.
91
00:04:07,331 --> 00:04:08,831
Were there any help at all?
92
00:04:08,832 --> 00:04:10,166
Um, they gave him some meds
93
00:04:10,167 --> 00:04:11,918
for anxiety and depression,
94
00:04:11,919 --> 00:04:15,505
but he didn't like how they
made him feel, so he stopped.
95
00:04:15,506 --> 00:04:17,800
I don't want to go back there.
96
00:04:18,968 --> 00:04:21,260
Um...
97
00:04:21,261 --> 00:04:24,472
When you break down, are
there any physical symptoms?
98
00:04:24,473 --> 00:04:27,558
Headache, heart
palpitations, blurry vision?
99
00:04:27,559 --> 00:04:30,061
Sometimes. A bit more lately.
100
00:04:30,062 --> 00:04:33,398
Tell me about these visions
you've been experiencing lately.
101
00:04:33,399 --> 00:04:34,774
Wait. What "visions"?
102
00:04:34,775 --> 00:04:37,360
Nothing to worry
about, babe. Uh...
103
00:04:37,361 --> 00:04:39,946
You know I just
said bye to Aiden.
104
00:04:39,947 --> 00:04:42,031
W-We served together.
105
00:04:42,032 --> 00:04:44,325
His funeral was last week.
106
00:04:44,326 --> 00:04:47,996
It's been...
painful. That's all.
107
00:04:47,997 --> 00:04:50,873
How far along are
you, Mrs. Hill?
108
00:04:50,874 --> 00:04:52,709
Um, 34 weeks.
109
00:04:52,710 --> 00:04:55,378
- I am so ready.
- We both are.
110
00:04:55,379 --> 00:04:56,963
- Your first?
- Yeah.
111
00:04:56,964 --> 00:04:58,756
Steve told me he wanted
kids on our first date.
112
00:04:58,757 --> 00:05:01,259
And she didn't ghost
me, believe it or not.
113
00:05:01,260 --> 00:05:04,387
I've always wanted to be a dad.
114
00:05:04,388 --> 00:05:06,055
And this stuff on my mind,
115
00:05:06,056 --> 00:05:10,476
I want to get it under control
before our son is born.
116
00:05:10,477 --> 00:05:12,645
Well, we're here to
help, and the first step
117
00:05:12,646 --> 00:05:16,441
is determining a
correct diagnosis.
118
00:05:16,442 --> 00:05:19,027
He's clearly withholding
something to protect his wife,
119
00:05:19,028 --> 00:05:22,739
but based off his symptoms,
my first thought was PTSD.
120
00:05:22,740 --> 00:05:25,408
That would explain his
hypervigilance, his insomnia,
121
00:05:25,409 --> 00:05:27,201
his intrusive thoughts,
122
00:05:27,202 --> 00:05:29,495
his grief over losing
his friend Aiden.
123
00:05:29,496 --> 00:05:32,582
It's very common for people
with PTSD to relive trauma
124
00:05:32,583 --> 00:05:34,375
Can make you feel like
you're living in the past
125
00:05:34,376 --> 00:05:36,252
and the present all
at the same time.
126
00:05:36,253 --> 00:05:37,879
Kind of like someone I know.
127
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,506
Okay, the VA already
treated him for PTSD...
128
00:05:40,507 --> 00:05:43,301
trauma-based CBT,
EMDR, exposure therapy,
129
00:05:43,302 --> 00:05:45,720
multiple SSRIs, even prazosin.
130
00:05:45,721 --> 00:05:48,681
What if PTSD is only
part of the story?
131
00:05:48,682 --> 00:05:51,350
It doesn't account for all of his
symptoms, namely his delusions.
132
00:05:51,351 --> 00:05:53,102
Remember... he's
been seeing ghosts.
133
00:05:53,103 --> 00:05:55,772
PTSD could be present in an
underlying neurological issue,
134
00:05:55,773 --> 00:05:58,149
like a tumor or...
or hydrocephalus.
135
00:05:58,150 --> 00:06:00,860
He hasn't had a recent MRI,
but at least his CT scans
136
00:06:00,861 --> 00:06:02,445
didn't show anything
too concerning.
137
00:06:02,446 --> 00:06:04,280
It can be an episode
from psychosis
138
00:06:04,281 --> 00:06:06,032
due to schizophrenia
or bipolar disorder.
139
00:06:06,033 --> 00:06:08,910
His age is a little unusual for
a schizophrenic first break.
140
00:06:08,911 --> 00:06:10,912
No history of mania.
141
00:06:10,913 --> 00:06:13,247
Uh, what about
frontotemporal dementia?
142
00:06:13,248 --> 00:06:16,292
It could be early enough that he's
not showing any of the telltale signs.
143
00:06:16,293 --> 00:06:18,044
Well, all possibilities.
We need more data.
144
00:06:18,045 --> 00:06:19,670
Ericka and Jacob, track down
145
00:06:19,671 --> 00:06:21,964
his military history, anyone
who served with Steve.
146
00:06:21,965 --> 00:06:25,009
Look into this Aiden fellow, see if
he was treated for similar symptoms.
147
00:06:25,010 --> 00:06:27,345
In order to understand
Steve's present condition,
148
00:06:27,346 --> 00:06:28,846
we need to know his past. Go.
149
00:06:28,847 --> 00:06:32,643
And I'll talk to Josh,
see if he has any ideas.
150
00:06:34,061 --> 00:06:35,603
You talk to Josh?
151
00:06:37,314 --> 00:06:40,650
Yes. I do. He's my friend.
152
00:06:40,651 --> 00:06:42,193
Oh, but by "friend,"
you mean colleague,
153
00:06:42,194 --> 00:06:44,112
like you share a cold, exacting,
154
00:06:44,113 --> 00:06:46,322
professional
connection with him?
155
00:06:46,323 --> 00:06:47,824
Unlike you,
156
00:06:47,825 --> 00:06:50,827
I actually enjoy the
company of other people.
157
00:06:50,828 --> 00:06:54,915
And... I happen to know
that he was in the military.
158
00:06:56,125 --> 00:06:57,166
Well...
159
00:07:07,261 --> 00:07:10,513
{\an8}Why you never call my Paulina?
160
00:07:10,514 --> 00:07:13,850
{\an8}Every time I come for
dialysis, I tell you...
161
00:07:13,851 --> 00:07:17,771
{\an8}my granddaughter
is single, smart.
162
00:07:18,397 --> 00:07:21,816
{\an8}Looks like a Russian Megan Fox.
163
00:07:21,817 --> 00:07:23,901
{\an8}Good genes.
164
00:07:23,902 --> 00:07:25,361
{\an8}Like her Babushka.
165
00:07:25,362 --> 00:07:27,363
{\an8}I'm... I'm sure
Pauline is lovely.
166
00:07:27,364 --> 00:07:29,073
{\an8}It's just I-I really
don't have time to date.
167
00:07:29,074 --> 00:07:31,367
{\an8}Your generation
168
00:07:31,368 --> 00:07:34,704
{\an8}doesn't know how to
have fun anymore!
169
00:07:34,705 --> 00:07:36,539
{\an8}How many times, Mrs. Petrov?
170
00:07:36,540 --> 00:07:38,958
{\an8}You cannot smoke in a hospital!
171
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:40,710
{\an8}Dr. Warner...
172
00:07:43,881 --> 00:07:46,966
{\an8}So... what was up with
you and Wolf earlier?
173
00:07:46,967 --> 00:07:49,010
{\an8}I-I don't know what
you're referring to.
174
00:07:49,011 --> 00:07:51,053
{\an8}Don't gaslight me, Ben.
He went out of his way
175
00:07:51,054 --> 00:07:52,388
{\an8}to get your take on John Doe.
176
00:07:52,389 --> 00:07:54,390
{\an8}Why are you suddenly
his favorite?
177
00:07:54,391 --> 00:07:56,184
{\an8}Oh, my God! You're
sleeping with Wolf!
178
00:07:56,185 --> 00:07:58,144
{\an8}What?! No. No. No. I...
179
00:07:58,145 --> 00:08:00,062
{\an8}He... He asked for my opinion
180
00:08:00,063 --> 00:08:03,065
{\an8}because he recently diagnosed me
181
00:08:03,066 --> 00:08:05,568
{\an8}with Mirror-Touch Synesthesia.
182
00:08:05,569 --> 00:08:07,737
{\an8}Wow. Wow, wow, wow, wow!
183
00:08:07,738 --> 00:08:10,531
{\an8}You have Mirror-Touch? Hah!
184
00:08:10,532 --> 00:08:12,116
{\an8}So all those times when
you were freaking out
185
00:08:12,117 --> 00:08:13,576
{\an8}in front of patients...
186
00:08:13,577 --> 00:08:15,411
{\an8}you were just feeling
what they were feeling.
187
00:08:15,412 --> 00:08:17,246
{\an8}This makes so much sense!
188
00:08:17,247 --> 00:08:20,750
{\an8}Did you know that MTS only
impacts 1.6% of the population?
189
00:08:20,751 --> 00:08:22,919
{\an8}Van, you basically
have a superpower!
190
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,588
{\an8}Yeah, well, it feels more
like a super curse, okay?
191
00:08:25,589 --> 00:08:27,590
{\an8}And if I'm being honest,
192
00:08:27,591 --> 00:08:30,259
{\an8}I'm still processing
what it all means.
193
00:08:30,260 --> 00:08:32,178
{\an8}Hmm.
194
00:08:32,179 --> 00:08:34,347
{\an8}Have you ever noticed that
you can't spell "Dana"
195
00:08:34,348 --> 00:08:37,059
{\an8}without the letters N-D-A?
196
00:08:38,852 --> 00:08:40,770
{\an8}I will take this to my grave.
197
00:08:43,398 --> 00:08:44,774
{\an8}Thank you?
198
00:09:29,778 --> 00:09:33,281
{\an8}Dr. Wolf? What are
you doing here?
199
00:09:33,282 --> 00:09:37,159
{\an8}Steve. How are you? I
came to check in on you.
200
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,787
{\an8}Doctors don't just show up
at people's places of work.
201
00:09:39,788 --> 00:09:43,666
{\an8}I do. Um, I realize my methods
are a little unorthodox,
202
00:09:43,667 --> 00:09:46,502
{\an8}but too many doctors treat
symptoms, not people.
203
00:09:46,503 --> 00:09:48,129
{\an8}So...
204
00:09:48,130 --> 00:09:49,547
{\an8}Um, you left this with me.
205
00:09:49,548 --> 00:09:51,924
{\an8}I wanted to bring
it back to you.
206
00:09:51,925 --> 00:09:54,093
{\an8}I hope you don't mind.
I took a look inside.
207
00:09:54,094 --> 00:09:56,637
{\an8}And what I found
was very impressive.
208
00:09:56,638 --> 00:09:58,097
{\an8}- Really?
- Absolutely.
209
00:09:58,098 --> 00:10:00,349
{\an8}I wish all my patients
were as prepared as you.
210
00:10:03,228 --> 00:10:05,896
{\an8}Did anyone follow you here?
211
00:10:05,897 --> 00:10:09,359
{\an8}Uh, no, no. I don't
think so. Why?
212
00:10:10,152 --> 00:10:12,945
{\an8}Do you think someone's
following you?
213
00:10:12,946 --> 00:10:16,866
{\an8}They already came for Aiden.
Now they're coming for me next.
214
00:10:16,867 --> 00:10:18,618
{\an8}Um...
215
00:10:20,954 --> 00:10:23,956
{\an8}Steve, is there anything
you didn't tell us earlier?
216
00:10:23,957 --> 00:10:27,294
{\an8}Something you didn't want to
say in front of your wife?
217
00:10:28,795 --> 00:10:30,421
{\an8}I'm sorry, Dr. Wolf.
218
00:10:30,422 --> 00:10:31,964
{\an8}You should go. We're
about to close.
219
00:10:31,965 --> 00:10:34,008
{\an8}Anything that you share
with me stays between us.
220
00:10:34,009 --> 00:10:38,220
{\an8}Doctor-patient confidentiality.
You're safe. You can trust me.
221
00:10:46,605 --> 00:10:48,647
{\an8}See this?
222
00:10:48,648 --> 00:10:51,525
{\an8}Nano chips. Developed by DARTA.
223
00:10:51,526 --> 00:10:53,278
{\an8}And look here.
224
00:10:55,989 --> 00:10:58,115
{\an8}They say it's to
track our health,
225
00:10:58,116 --> 00:11:01,077
{\an8}but it's all a lie.
226
00:11:01,078 --> 00:11:05,289
{\an8}The military put a microchip
in my head to control me.
227
00:11:05,290 --> 00:11:08,751
{\an8}It's malfunctioning,
making me see things.
228
00:11:08,752 --> 00:11:11,712
{\an8}The VA won't take
responsibility. No one will.
229
00:11:11,713 --> 00:11:13,756
That's why I came to you.
230
00:11:13,757 --> 00:11:17,677
I need you to help me. I
need you to take it out.
231
00:11:26,103 --> 00:11:28,938
- It's normal. There's no chip.
- Obviously.
232
00:11:28,939 --> 00:11:30,940
There are no signs of
intracranial lesion
233
00:11:30,941 --> 00:11:33,609
or a process that could
explain his hallucinations.
234
00:11:33,610 --> 00:11:35,945
So how much longer do
we go along with him?
235
00:11:35,946 --> 00:11:37,655
He deserves to know
the truth, right?
236
00:11:37,656 --> 00:11:40,157
No, not necessarily.
237
00:11:40,158 --> 00:11:41,992
Think of Steve as a man
238
00:11:41,993 --> 00:11:45,579
who's been adrift at
sea for weeks, starving.
239
00:11:45,580 --> 00:11:47,623
One might think what
he needs is a feast...
240
00:11:47,624 --> 00:11:49,750
But that'd put his
system in shock.
241
00:11:49,751 --> 00:11:52,294
It's too much too fast.
- Yeah, exactly.
242
00:11:52,295 --> 00:11:54,296
If we're not careful,
our patient could go
243
00:11:54,297 --> 00:11:56,966
from paranoid delusions
to full psychosis.
244
00:11:56,967 --> 00:11:58,926
So we ease him back to reality?
245
00:11:58,927 --> 00:12:02,430
Yeah. Let's admit him. And
your job is to keep him calm.
246
00:12:02,431 --> 00:12:05,183
Be sure we don't lose his trust.
247
00:12:06,518 --> 00:12:10,063
Believe me, I've seen what
paranoia can do to people.
248
00:12:11,731 --> 00:12:15,025
Did you know forests contain
60,000 different tree species,
249
00:12:15,026 --> 00:12:19,530
80% of amphibian species,
75% of bird species,
250
00:12:19,531 --> 00:12:21,991
and 68% of the world's mammals?
251
00:12:21,992 --> 00:12:24,827
We can hunt some of them with
your grandpa's rifle here.
252
00:12:24,828 --> 00:12:26,829
You know, when I was
your age, he taught me
253
00:12:26,830 --> 00:12:28,622
how to use this thing.
254
00:12:28,623 --> 00:12:30,416
Today I'm gonna teach you.
255
00:12:30,417 --> 00:12:32,668
There's this rare calcite
256
00:12:32,669 --> 00:12:35,212
that grows by concave riverbeds.
257
00:12:35,213 --> 00:12:37,506
Think we can hunt
for that instead?
258
00:12:37,507 --> 00:12:38,924
Of course.
259
00:12:38,925 --> 00:12:40,676
We'll scout crystals
for your collection.
260
00:12:40,677 --> 00:12:42,094
Don't worry.
261
00:12:45,182 --> 00:12:46,724
- Get down. Get down.
- What's wrong?
262
00:12:46,725 --> 00:12:49,685
What is it?
- Those... Those hikers.
263
00:12:51,229 --> 00:12:54,023
They're following us.
264
00:12:54,024 --> 00:12:56,525
Okay. Stay down. Keep quiet.
265
00:13:03,283 --> 00:13:06,202
Hi. Jacob and I reached out
to the VA about Steve's unit,
266
00:13:06,203 --> 00:13:09,371
and one of their people
wants to talk to you.
267
00:13:09,372 --> 00:13:10,915
{\an8}Her name's Dr. Jordana Moore.
268
00:13:10,916 --> 00:13:12,875
{\an8}I-I don't know how to use this.
269
00:13:12,876 --> 00:13:15,753
N-No. She's...
She's actually here.
270
00:13:15,754 --> 00:13:16,921
Oh. Uh...
271
00:13:18,507 --> 00:13:20,090
I knew Steve personally.
272
00:13:20,091 --> 00:13:22,218
He went through basic training
when I was a camp medic.
273
00:13:22,219 --> 00:13:24,803
Didn't stay in touch,
but I always liked him.
274
00:13:24,804 --> 00:13:26,805
What was he like back then?
275
00:13:26,806 --> 00:13:28,933
Let's just say
some lead by rank,
276
00:13:28,934 --> 00:13:30,518
others lead by example.
277
00:13:30,519 --> 00:13:32,394
Steve was exemplary.
278
00:13:32,395 --> 00:13:34,480
"Was." So what changed?
279
00:13:34,481 --> 00:13:35,940
I wish I knew.
280
00:13:35,941 --> 00:13:37,650
When he came to us
after his deployment,
281
00:13:37,651 --> 00:13:39,360
we did everything
we could to help.
282
00:13:39,361 --> 00:13:41,195
And one day, he just
refused further treatment
283
00:13:41,196 --> 00:13:44,740
for his delusions, said he
didn't trust us anymore.
284
00:13:44,741 --> 00:13:46,325
He stopped coming after that.
285
00:13:46,326 --> 00:13:48,327
Turns out he sees
us as the enemy.
286
00:13:48,328 --> 00:13:50,996
Well, I can understand
Steve as a Black man
287
00:13:50,997 --> 00:13:53,123
being concerned about his care.
288
00:13:53,124 --> 00:13:55,751
Who's treating him now?
- Nobody.
289
00:13:55,752 --> 00:13:57,545
He lost his benefits
after he was
290
00:13:57,546 --> 00:14:00,340
other-than-honorably discharged.
291
00:14:02,008 --> 00:14:05,094
He was threatening to disclose
military secrets online.
292
00:14:05,095 --> 00:14:07,263
The DoD cannot tolerate that.
293
00:14:07,264 --> 00:14:10,307
Well, it's no stretch to say that
Steve was traumatized in some way.
294
00:14:10,308 --> 00:14:13,310
Who's to say what he
saw on the front lines?
295
00:14:13,311 --> 00:14:15,437
Steve was never on
the front lines.
296
00:14:15,438 --> 00:14:18,232
He never got within 10
miles of a battle, period.
297
00:14:18,233 --> 00:14:20,859
What kind of military action
did he participate in?
298
00:14:20,860 --> 00:14:22,778
I can't disclose
that information.
299
00:14:22,779 --> 00:14:24,488
Military protocol.
300
00:14:24,489 --> 00:14:26,031
As Steve found out the hard way,
301
00:14:26,032 --> 00:14:29,326
we take our confidentiality
very seriously.
302
00:14:29,327 --> 00:14:31,745
I wish the best for
Steve. I really do.
303
00:14:31,746 --> 00:14:33,622
But my hands are tied.
304
00:14:37,043 --> 00:14:39,962
Okay. Let's keep this simple.
305
00:14:39,963 --> 00:14:43,091
Look up for "yes" and
look down for "no."
306
00:14:44,092 --> 00:14:46,302
Can you feel if you
understands? And can you feel
307
00:14:46,303 --> 00:14:48,012
how weird I feel asking
you to feel his feelings?
308
00:14:48,013 --> 00:14:51,640
No. And I regret
telling you anything.
309
00:14:51,641 --> 00:14:54,519
Tell us. Can you hear me?
310
00:14:58,607 --> 00:15:01,484
Can you tell us...
are you in pain?
311
00:15:03,862 --> 00:15:06,197
Do you know where you are?
312
00:15:07,407 --> 00:15:09,325
{\an8}Oh.
- Okay. Let's ask him again
313
00:15:09,326 --> 00:15:11,327
{\an8}to make sure he's
answering correctly.
314
00:15:11,328 --> 00:15:14,914
Um, tell me again.
Can you hear me?
315
00:15:19,961 --> 00:15:22,422
Are you in pain, sir?
316
00:15:24,007 --> 00:15:26,593
JD, can you look up?
317
00:15:27,886 --> 00:15:29,303
I think he's feeling anxious.
318
00:15:29,304 --> 00:15:31,639
What you're feeling
is me... all the time.
319
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,892
Welcome to my amygdala.
320
00:15:35,268 --> 00:15:36,852
I got some intel.
321
00:15:36,853 --> 00:15:38,437
My Navy buddy
couldn't give me much.
322
00:15:38,438 --> 00:15:40,022
As expected, the military
is pretty buttoned-up,
323
00:15:40,023 --> 00:15:41,398
but I was able to
find out a little,
324
00:15:41,399 --> 00:15:43,525
and it turns out that
Dr. Moore was right.
325
00:15:43,526 --> 00:15:47,112
Steve and his unit
never saw any combat?
326
00:15:47,113 --> 00:15:48,656
It's a relatively
new strategy...
327
00:15:48,657 --> 00:15:50,616
minimize the number of
soldiers on the ground
328
00:15:50,617 --> 00:15:53,035
while units like Steve's pound
the enemy with artillery fire.
329
00:15:53,036 --> 00:15:55,204
So he was miles away
from the front lines.
330
00:15:55,205 --> 00:15:56,872
Which is why he and his unit
331
00:15:56,873 --> 00:15:58,499
never suffered any
combat-related injuries.
332
00:15:58,500 --> 00:16:02,086
Not one single casualty
during their deployment.
333
00:16:02,087 --> 00:16:05,172
And, yet, since
returning home...
334
00:16:05,173 --> 00:16:07,299
What?
335
00:16:07,300 --> 00:16:09,218
It wasn't just Aiden Miller.
336
00:16:09,219 --> 00:16:11,971
More than half the unit is dead.
337
00:16:13,515 --> 00:16:15,683
Some from unintended
drug overdose,
338
00:16:15,684 --> 00:16:17,643
but others by suicide.
339
00:16:17,644 --> 00:16:18,936
- Hi, babe.
- How you doing?
340
00:16:18,937 --> 00:16:21,230
- How'd it go?
- Dr. Warner...
341
00:16:21,231 --> 00:16:22,898
Something happened to him.
342
00:16:22,899 --> 00:16:25,485
Something happened
to all of them.
343
00:16:31,533 --> 00:16:32,950
- We have a normal MRI.
- With severe delusions.
344
00:16:32,951 --> 00:16:35,577
But their unit was
decimated by something.
345
00:16:35,578 --> 00:16:37,538
I mean, the rate of
descent... it's like it's
346
00:16:37,539 --> 00:16:39,832
Lewy Body Dementia,
early-onset Alzheimer's.
347
00:16:39,833 --> 00:16:42,710
It almost reminds me of some
former football players I've seen.
348
00:16:42,711 --> 00:16:46,506
If I didn't know better, I'd say
Steve was suffering from CTE.
349
00:16:47,674 --> 00:16:48,882
What'd you say?
350
00:16:48,883 --> 00:16:50,259
Chronic Traumatic
Encephalopathy.
351
00:16:50,260 --> 00:16:52,386
Yeah, no, I know
what CTE is, Wolf.
352
00:16:52,387 --> 00:16:54,138
It's just that that's a sound
theory. That would explain a lot.
353
00:16:54,139 --> 00:16:56,014
Mood swings, cognitive
impairment, paranoia.
354
00:16:56,015 --> 00:16:57,349
But he wasn't an athlete.
355
00:16:57,350 --> 00:16:59,101
He was never in a
serious accident.
356
00:16:59,102 --> 00:17:02,063
If he was never in combat,
how is CTE possible?
357
00:17:02,772 --> 00:17:05,399
I want to show you something.
358
00:17:11,322 --> 00:17:13,198
I'm gonna assume you've never
handled one of these before?
359
00:17:13,199 --> 00:17:15,576
- Uh, no.
- Okay. Safety 101.
360
00:17:15,577 --> 00:17:17,327
Always treat the gun
as if it's loaded.
361
00:17:17,328 --> 00:17:19,204
Always keep the gun pointed
in a safe direction.
362
00:17:19,205 --> 00:17:20,998
And always keep your
finger off the trigger
363
00:17:20,999 --> 00:17:22,624
till you're ready
to shoot, okay?
364
00:17:22,625 --> 00:17:25,503
I'm really seeing the
military in you now.
365
00:17:26,755 --> 00:17:28,714
What was that like?
366
00:17:28,715 --> 00:17:30,132
It was good for me.
367
00:17:30,133 --> 00:17:31,759
Whipped me into shape
when I needed it.
368
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,510
Forced me out of the house,
away from my parents.
369
00:17:33,511 --> 00:17:36,096
And, um, I got really close
with a lot of the guys.
370
00:17:36,097 --> 00:17:37,973
One in particular.
371
00:17:37,974 --> 00:17:40,518
What about "Don't
Ask, Don't Tell"?
372
00:17:42,687 --> 00:17:43,896
Not ideal.
373
00:17:43,897 --> 00:17:47,567
But, um, we found a
way to make it work.
374
00:17:49,402 --> 00:17:51,070
Okay.
375
00:17:52,238 --> 00:17:54,990
That's right. Just
gonna put your thumb...
376
00:17:54,991 --> 00:17:57,910
There you go. Okay. Now put
the front sight on the target.
377
00:17:57,911 --> 00:18:00,413
Bracket it by the rear sight.
378
00:18:03,124 --> 00:18:05,418
Okay. Squeeze the trigger.
379
00:18:09,839 --> 00:18:11,089
The impact. The shock.
380
00:18:11,090 --> 00:18:13,175
It's like a blast
wave through my arms.
381
00:18:13,176 --> 00:18:16,345
Now imagine that from a gun
a thousand times bigger,
382
00:18:16,346 --> 00:18:19,264
100 times a day,
every day for months.
383
00:18:19,265 --> 00:18:20,891
So Steve's brain
injury wasn't caused
384
00:18:20,892 --> 00:18:25,020
by enemy blast exposure, but
by firing his own weapon.
385
00:18:25,021 --> 00:18:27,272
It's a theory... that
we can only confirm
386
00:18:27,273 --> 00:18:29,107
by analyzing Steve's
brain postmortem.
387
00:18:29,108 --> 00:18:31,068
Thankfully, our
patient is still alive.
388
00:18:31,069 --> 00:18:34,154
But there were others
who weren't so lucky.
389
00:18:34,155 --> 00:18:36,073
Let's call Carol.
390
00:18:36,074 --> 00:18:37,741
Thank you, Mrs.
Miller, for having us.
391
00:18:37,742 --> 00:18:41,578
We're grateful to the two
of you for taking the time.
392
00:18:41,579 --> 00:18:43,205
That must be Aiden.
393
00:18:43,206 --> 00:18:45,415
From what I understand,
he was very good friends
394
00:18:45,416 --> 00:18:47,042
with our patient, Steve Hill?
395
00:18:47,043 --> 00:18:48,836
Well, he mentioned
Steve a few times.
396
00:18:48,837 --> 00:18:50,379
Making friends
came easy to Aiden.
397
00:18:50,380 --> 00:18:52,714
Overseas, the men he served
with were like brothers.
398
00:18:52,715 --> 00:18:56,386
It wasn't until he came
home we noticed a change.
399
00:18:57,554 --> 00:19:00,514
He grew paranoid. He was
convinced he was being watched.
400
00:19:00,515 --> 00:19:04,393
VA got him into therapy,
but he became combative.
401
00:19:04,394 --> 00:19:06,228
He was other-than-honorably
discharged
402
00:19:06,229 --> 00:19:07,896
after assaulting his therapist.
403
00:19:07,897 --> 00:19:12,734
We thought school would help,
but on orientation day...
404
00:19:12,735 --> 00:19:14,403
Aiden never came downstairs.
405
00:19:14,404 --> 00:19:15,697
Hm.
406
00:19:17,115 --> 00:19:20,534
The love you had... still
have for Aiden is palpable.
407
00:19:20,535 --> 00:19:22,578
I know healing will
take a lot more time,
408
00:19:22,579 --> 00:19:25,831
but we want to help
you get answers.
409
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:28,375
Have you heard of CTE?
410
00:19:28,376 --> 00:19:30,043
What's that have
to do with my son?
411
00:19:30,044 --> 00:19:31,712
Well, I believe that
there was an element
412
00:19:31,713 --> 00:19:35,549
to Aden's daily duties as a
soldier that exposed his brain
413
00:19:35,550 --> 00:19:39,177
to the repeated micro-traumas
necessary to develop CTE.
414
00:19:39,178 --> 00:19:41,179
And with your
permission, we would like
415
00:19:41,180 --> 00:19:43,599
to exhume Aiden's body
to study his brain
416
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,518
and to find out for sure
what really happened.
417
00:19:46,519 --> 00:19:48,645
We just buried our son,
and you want to dig him up.
418
00:19:48,646 --> 00:19:52,357
Steve is suffering the way Aiden
was... paranoia, delusions.
419
00:19:52,358 --> 00:19:54,610
We want to help him, but
we need more information.
420
00:19:54,611 --> 00:19:56,862
CTE can only be properly
diagnosed after death,
421
00:19:56,863 --> 00:19:58,906
and Aiden's is the only
brain we have access to.
422
00:19:58,907 --> 00:20:00,282
He's the only member of his unit
423
00:20:00,283 --> 00:20:02,618
that was not given
a military burial.
424
00:20:02,619 --> 00:20:04,411
So, in a sense,
425
00:20:04,412 --> 00:20:07,372
his dishonorable
discharge was a gift.
426
00:20:07,373 --> 00:20:10,584
A gift? Aiden was a
third-generation Marine.
427
00:20:10,585 --> 00:20:13,378
If his grandfather...
The answer is no.
428
00:20:13,379 --> 00:20:15,881
You... My... My colleague
meant no offense.
429
00:20:15,882 --> 00:20:18,634
I know you would give
anything to have him back.
430
00:20:18,635 --> 00:20:20,636
All we're trying to do
is give another family
431
00:20:20,637 --> 00:20:23,305
a fighting chance
at a different fate.
432
00:20:23,306 --> 00:20:27,476
I promise you. This was...
is... our last resort.
433
00:20:27,477 --> 00:20:29,311
Aiden's brain holds the answers
434
00:20:29,312 --> 00:20:31,897
for our patient and for you.
435
00:20:31,898 --> 00:20:34,983
I imagine closure is
something Aiden would want.
436
00:20:40,615 --> 00:20:42,407
Traveling outside of
your neighborhood,
437
00:20:42,408 --> 00:20:44,159
taking public transportation,
driving yourself?
438
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,661
I can do all that. No problem.
439
00:20:45,662 --> 00:20:47,496
Okay. Um... I
need your answers
440
00:20:47,497 --> 00:20:49,665
in the form of a
number... zero to three...
441
00:20:49,666 --> 00:20:52,000
three meaning these things are
impossible for you to do without help.
442
00:20:52,001 --> 00:20:54,586
Zero, I guess. I-I don't
need help getting around.
443
00:20:54,587 --> 00:20:56,421
Okay, well, what about
managing finances?
444
00:20:56,422 --> 00:20:58,465
Paying bills, tracking
expenses, that sort of thing?
445
00:20:58,466 --> 00:21:02,010
Zero. Some days, maybe one.
446
00:21:02,011 --> 00:21:03,553
What's all this about, Doc?
447
00:21:03,554 --> 00:21:05,472
The purpose of this survey
is to better understand
448
00:21:05,473 --> 00:21:07,975
how you're doing at home,
what's going well, what's not.
449
00:21:07,976 --> 00:21:10,477
And then by comparing your answers with
patients who have had brain injuries
450
00:21:10,478 --> 00:21:12,521
like chronic traumatic
encephalopathy...
451
00:21:12,522 --> 00:21:14,106
- Um...
- which you might know as CTE...
452
00:21:14,107 --> 00:21:15,607
Hold on. Hold on. CTE?
453
00:21:15,608 --> 00:21:17,359
You mean what
football players get?
454
00:21:17,360 --> 00:21:19,778
I asked you to take a
microchip out of my brain.
455
00:21:19,779 --> 00:21:21,655
That was the deal!
456
00:21:21,656 --> 00:21:25,701
We looked into your friend,
Lance Corporal Aiden Miller.
457
00:21:29,622 --> 00:21:31,707
Steve...
458
00:21:31,708 --> 00:21:33,917
Before he died,
he was complaining
459
00:21:33,918 --> 00:21:35,502
of symptoms similar to yours.
460
00:21:35,503 --> 00:21:37,546
And with his
family's cooperation,
461
00:21:37,547 --> 00:21:39,756
we're able to examine his brain.
462
00:21:39,757 --> 00:21:42,884
If he had CTE...
463
00:21:42,885 --> 00:21:45,721
there's a chance you might, too.
464
00:21:45,722 --> 00:21:48,473
I-I realize that sounds
incredibly scary,
465
00:21:48,474 --> 00:21:51,560
but I promise, the more we
know, the more we can help you.
466
00:21:57,025 --> 00:22:00,360
It's called the fire triangle.
Heat, fuel, and oxygen.
467
00:22:00,361 --> 00:22:02,154
And to get the best
fire, you have to balance
468
00:22:02,155 --> 00:22:04,489
all three elements.
469
00:22:04,490 --> 00:22:06,909
I'm gonna get us some more fuel.
470
00:22:13,833 --> 00:22:15,917
Dad! What are you doing?!
471
00:22:15,918 --> 00:22:17,878
Protecting us from
them. The hikers.
472
00:22:17,879 --> 00:22:19,839
They can see the smoke.
473
00:22:20,757 --> 00:22:24,593
Oh, this. This is why I
stopped taking my meds.
474
00:22:24,594 --> 00:22:28,473
So I could feel more alert.
So I could protect you.
475
00:22:30,475 --> 00:22:33,518
You haven't told your
mom about any of this?
476
00:22:33,519 --> 00:22:34,936
About my medication?
477
00:22:34,937 --> 00:22:37,189
No. I promise.
478
00:22:37,190 --> 00:22:38,816
Okay.
479
00:22:39,525 --> 00:22:41,944
I know I can always
count on you.
480
00:22:44,489 --> 00:22:48,116
Attention. Code Green.
Attention. Code Green.
481
00:22:48,117 --> 00:22:50,577
- Code Green?
- You don't think it's...
482
00:22:50,578 --> 00:22:52,287
Dr. Wolf! Dr. Wolf, It's Steve!
483
00:22:52,288 --> 00:22:54,623
He's locked himself in the room.
- And he's refusing to come out.
484
00:22:54,624 --> 00:22:56,458
Dr. Wolf, he has a
scalpel in his hand!
485
00:22:56,459 --> 00:22:58,210
- I can't get in.
- He's barricaded the door.
486
00:22:58,211 --> 00:22:59,961
Steve, it's Dr. Wolf.
487
00:22:59,962 --> 00:23:02,297
Uh, I want to help, but I can't
from out here. Can I come in?
488
00:23:02,298 --> 00:23:04,466
You said you would
help me, Dr. Wolf!
489
00:23:04,467 --> 00:23:05,801
They've gotten to you, too!
490
00:23:05,802 --> 00:23:07,427
No, no. Nobody's
gotten to me, Steve.
491
00:23:07,428 --> 00:23:09,429
If you let me in,
you're getting just me.
492
00:23:09,430 --> 00:23:11,056
I promise. You can trust me.
493
00:23:11,057 --> 00:23:13,183
I can't trust any of you.
494
00:23:13,184 --> 00:23:15,268
This is my only option.
495
00:23:15,269 --> 00:23:16,812
I have to take the
chip out myself.
496
00:23:16,813 --> 00:23:19,689
Steve, no, no, no, no, no,
no. Please let me help you.
497
00:23:19,690 --> 00:23:22,735
You wanna help? Start by
telling me where to cut!
498
00:23:27,949 --> 00:23:29,157
Open the door, please.
499
00:23:29,158 --> 00:23:30,367
I have nothing to do with
the chip in your head.
500
00:23:30,368 --> 00:23:31,827
Then why won't you take it out?
501
00:23:31,828 --> 00:23:33,662
Because it's not my
area of expertise.
502
00:23:34,872 --> 00:23:36,665
But I do know a lot
about your brain,
503
00:23:36,666 --> 00:23:38,416
and right now your amygdala
is working overtime...
504
00:23:38,417 --> 00:23:40,418
if you want to think
of that as the chip.
505
00:23:40,419 --> 00:23:42,671
It controls the fear
and the anger response.
506
00:23:42,672 --> 00:23:45,298
But I want to help you tap
into your prefrontal cortex,
507
00:23:45,299 --> 00:23:47,927
t-the logic side of your brain.
508
00:23:48,845 --> 00:23:50,720
One way we can do that
is by using simple math.
509
00:23:50,721 --> 00:23:53,057
How far along is your wife?
510
00:23:55,101 --> 00:23:57,562
How far along is your wife?
511
00:23:59,313 --> 00:24:01,523
Uh, 34 weeks.
512
00:24:01,524 --> 00:24:04,317
34 divided by 4. What is that?
513
00:24:04,318 --> 00:24:05,819
Eight and a half.
514
00:24:05,820 --> 00:24:07,362
So that means in six
weeks, give or take,
515
00:24:07,363 --> 00:24:09,322
you're gonna be a dad!
516
00:24:09,323 --> 00:24:10,991
Steve, that's spectacular!
517
00:24:10,992 --> 00:24:13,452
W-What are you having again?
518
00:24:14,954 --> 00:24:16,371
- A boy.
- A boy.
519
00:24:16,372 --> 00:24:18,373
Steve, listen to
me. In six weeks,
520
00:24:18,374 --> 00:24:19,875
I want you to be in
that hospital room
521
00:24:19,876 --> 00:24:23,420
holding your wife's hand
through every contraction.
522
00:24:23,421 --> 00:24:27,215
I want your whole
heart to break open
523
00:24:27,216 --> 00:24:29,301
when you lay eyes on your
little boy for the first time.
524
00:24:29,302 --> 00:24:32,053
And when you see his
tiny, perfect face,
525
00:24:32,054 --> 00:24:34,639
I want you to promise that
you're gonna take care of him
526
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,767
for the rest of your life.
527
00:24:37,768 --> 00:24:41,771
That's what I want for you,
Steve, for your family.
528
00:24:41,772 --> 00:24:43,565
But none of that is gonna happen
529
00:24:43,566 --> 00:24:45,066
if you don't put
that scalpel down
530
00:24:45,067 --> 00:24:47,235
and open this door right now.
531
00:25:06,130 --> 00:25:08,506
Stand down. Stand down.
532
00:25:08,507 --> 00:25:10,675
We're going to take care of you.
533
00:25:10,676 --> 00:25:12,719
Copy that. Confirm.
Stand down.
534
00:25:20,603 --> 00:25:24,314
- Dr. Beck to Pediatrics.
- Dr. Beck to Pediatrics.
535
00:25:25,775 --> 00:25:29,444
Hey. Excited for the
EMG on Mr. Allen?
536
00:25:29,445 --> 00:25:32,113
Wolf said we could
take the lead.
537
00:25:32,114 --> 00:25:34,449
You know, I'm actually
feeling a migraine coming on.
538
00:25:34,450 --> 00:25:36,451
Mind if I tap out?
539
00:25:36,452 --> 00:25:38,703
Sure.
540
00:25:38,704 --> 00:25:41,874
You know I'm happy to have
those needles to myself.
541
00:25:46,045 --> 00:25:48,088
You know, if you ever want
to talk about anything...
542
00:25:48,089 --> 00:25:52,217
Look. I'm fine, Ericka.
543
00:25:52,218 --> 00:25:54,386
It's just a headache.
544
00:25:56,806 --> 00:25:58,848
I just reviewed the
slides with pathology.
545
00:25:58,849 --> 00:26:00,517
It's all here. The
results are definitive.
546
00:26:00,518 --> 00:26:02,352
It's CTE. Look.
547
00:26:02,353 --> 00:26:03,895
This stain indicates
548
00:26:03,896 --> 00:26:06,731
an abnormal accumulation
of tau protein.
549
00:26:06,732 --> 00:26:09,276
- That's a lot of red.
- This is not the news we wanted.
550
00:26:09,277 --> 00:26:11,403
But it can help us help Steve.
551
00:26:11,404 --> 00:26:13,488
Sorry to interrupt.
552
00:26:13,489 --> 00:26:15,699
Uh, Mrs. Hill is
looking for Steve.
553
00:26:15,700 --> 00:26:17,158
Oh, uh, of course.
554
00:26:17,159 --> 00:26:19,035
He's just in Room 237
under observation.
555
00:26:19,036 --> 00:26:23,081
No, he's not. I checked.
I've looked everywhere.
556
00:26:23,082 --> 00:26:25,166
Okay. Um...
557
00:26:25,167 --> 00:26:27,419
Don't worry. I'll find him.
558
00:26:30,715 --> 00:26:34,009
If I have to ask one more
patient to follow my finger...
559
00:26:34,010 --> 00:26:36,177
Anything?
- Not looking so good.
560
00:26:36,178 --> 00:26:38,346
Why don't you see for yourself?
561
00:26:38,347 --> 00:26:39,889
Well...
562
00:26:39,890 --> 00:26:42,517
His eye movements were
more responsive yesterday.
563
00:26:42,518 --> 00:26:45,020
If he had one stroke that caused
this, he could have another.
564
00:26:45,021 --> 00:26:47,605
Or he could be brewing
a new infection.
565
00:26:47,606 --> 00:26:48,857
Anything happen last night?
566
00:26:48,858 --> 00:26:50,483
His vitals are
stone-cold normal.
567
00:26:50,484 --> 00:26:52,027
White count isn't up No fever.
568
00:26:52,028 --> 00:26:54,946
And, yet, he's less
responsive somehow.
569
00:26:54,947 --> 00:26:56,698
Question is why.
570
00:26:56,699 --> 00:26:58,533
Should we get another scan?
571
00:26:58,534 --> 00:27:00,368
Cover empirically
with antibiotics?
572
00:27:00,369 --> 00:27:01,745
No, I don't think he's sick.
573
00:27:01,746 --> 00:27:04,331
But maybe he's giving up?
574
00:27:04,332 --> 00:27:05,790
He had a little spark of life
575
00:27:05,791 --> 00:27:07,625
with his field trip
with Ericka and Jacob,
576
00:27:07,626 --> 00:27:09,044
and now it's wearing off?
577
00:27:11,714 --> 00:27:13,548
Did you see that?
578
00:27:16,552 --> 00:27:17,927
Mrs. Petrov.
579
00:27:17,928 --> 00:27:20,180
Maybe he misses
his g-grandmother.
580
00:27:20,181 --> 00:27:23,225
Yeah, or maybe she's
speaking his language.
581
00:27:24,643 --> 00:27:27,062
Mrs. Petrov?
582
00:27:27,063 --> 00:27:30,398
We need your help...
translating for a patient.
583
00:27:30,399 --> 00:27:32,317
Hmm.
584
00:27:37,281 --> 00:27:38,531
Okay.
585
00:27:44,997 --> 00:27:47,415
Brought you a bacon, egg,
and cheese if you're hungry.
586
00:27:49,919 --> 00:27:52,670
Where did you sleep last night?
587
00:27:52,671 --> 00:27:55,299
The Reading Room has a couch.
588
00:27:57,635 --> 00:27:59,177
Sorry I went AWOL last night.
589
00:27:59,178 --> 00:28:01,596
I just couldn't be in
the hospital anymore,
590
00:28:01,597 --> 00:28:05,059
and it didn't feel
right going home.
591
00:28:06,685 --> 00:28:08,645
I want to be there
for Anna and the baby,
592
00:28:08,646 --> 00:28:11,147
but I'm no good like this
as a husband and a dad.
593
00:28:11,148 --> 00:28:13,859
You know my dad had ghosts, too?
594
00:28:15,319 --> 00:28:18,446
Symptoms similar to yours.
595
00:28:18,447 --> 00:28:21,199
And, yet, I wish he
was in my life today.
596
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,327
This is not your fault.
597
00:28:25,121 --> 00:28:27,288
The postmortem
came back on Aiden,
598
00:28:27,289 --> 00:28:28,790
and he had CTE, as suspected,
599
00:28:28,791 --> 00:28:30,500
which means that
there's a good chance
600
00:28:30,501 --> 00:28:33,087
you're suffering
from it, as well.
601
00:28:34,338 --> 00:28:35,922
I'm sorry.
602
00:28:43,556 --> 00:28:46,975
I think I convinced myself
there was a microchip in my head
603
00:28:46,976 --> 00:28:50,311
because I couldn't
handle the alternative...
604
00:28:50,312 --> 00:28:53,065
that my brain is just broken.
605
00:28:55,317 --> 00:28:57,819
But now that I have an answer,
I don't know which is scarier.
606
00:28:57,820 --> 00:28:59,612
It feels like you handed
me a life sentence.
607
00:28:59,613 --> 00:29:01,197
But you don't have
to face it alone.
608
00:29:01,198 --> 00:29:04,325
I will help you manage and
live with your symptoms.
609
00:29:04,326 --> 00:29:06,494
That's what I'm here for.
- Dr. Wolf.
610
00:29:06,495 --> 00:29:07,912
I've got a kid on the way.
611
00:29:07,913 --> 00:29:09,706
I can barely support
us on my salary.
612
00:29:09,707 --> 00:29:11,666
The VA cut off my benefits.
613
00:29:11,667 --> 00:29:13,209
Dishonorably
discharged. Remember?
614
00:29:13,210 --> 00:29:16,171
There is nothing
dishonorable about you.
615
00:29:16,172 --> 00:29:18,840
I want to fix that for
you, for your family.
616
00:29:18,841 --> 00:29:21,260
If you'll let me.
617
00:29:25,764 --> 00:29:26,890
You got this.
618
00:29:26,891 --> 00:29:29,726
Um, thank you for coming.
619
00:29:29,727 --> 00:29:33,313
Um, my patient, Steve
Hill, is a veteran.
620
00:29:33,314 --> 00:29:35,940
He's a husband. He's
a soon-to-be father.
621
00:29:35,941 --> 00:29:37,775
Uh, he served in
the 2nd Battalion.
622
00:29:37,776 --> 00:29:40,111
Yeah, we've been
briefed, Dr. Wolf.
623
00:29:40,112 --> 00:29:42,030
Oh. Okay. Then you're aware
624
00:29:42,031 --> 00:29:45,200
that Steve's unit fired
long-range howitzers
625
00:29:45,201 --> 00:29:47,535
from a distance far from
the threat of battle,
626
00:29:47,536 --> 00:29:49,954
and, yet, despite this fact,
Steve is one of the few
627
00:29:49,955 --> 00:29:51,539
surviving members of his unit.
628
00:29:51,540 --> 00:29:54,167
How is that possible? The
answer lies in the howitzer.
629
00:29:54,168 --> 00:29:56,836
Every time that cannon fired,
shockwaves reverberated
630
00:29:56,837 --> 00:29:58,546
through the neurons
of Steve's brain,
631
00:29:58,547 --> 00:30:03,176
causing irreparable damage
over and over and over again.
632
00:30:05,554 --> 00:30:07,223
Uh...
633
00:30:08,891 --> 00:30:11,976
Think of your brain
as a rubber band.
634
00:30:11,977 --> 00:30:16,105
Every time you stretch
it, micro-tears form.
635
00:30:16,106 --> 00:30:20,068
Now, the brain has elasticity,
so it can take a blow or two,
636
00:30:20,069 --> 00:30:21,819
maybe three or four even.
637
00:30:21,820 --> 00:30:25,156
But what happens
after one too many?
638
00:30:25,157 --> 00:30:28,284
Stretch these a-and
find out for yourselves.
639
00:30:35,042 --> 00:30:37,001
Just like that band,
640
00:30:37,002 --> 00:30:38,670
the brain will break over time.
641
00:30:38,671 --> 00:30:40,255
And we have proof.
642
00:30:40,256 --> 00:30:42,298
A fellow unit member,
Aiden Miller's postmortem
643
00:30:42,299 --> 00:30:45,510
neuropathological results
showed catastrophic damage
644
00:30:45,511 --> 00:30:46,844
on the microscopic level.
645
00:30:46,845 --> 00:30:49,055
It was a textbook case of CTE.
646
00:30:52,935 --> 00:30:55,061
Steve's conspiracies
and delusions
647
00:30:55,062 --> 00:30:58,482
are not an attempt to
betray his country.
648
00:31:00,025 --> 00:31:02,277
They're a cry for help...
649
00:31:02,278 --> 00:31:05,280
caused by a
neurodegenerative disease.
650
00:31:05,281 --> 00:31:09,951
Now, I have never
served in the military,
651
00:31:09,952 --> 00:31:14,747
but I have always admired
the concept of Nemo Resideo:
652
00:31:14,748 --> 00:31:16,583
"Leave No One Behind."
653
00:31:16,584 --> 00:31:19,961
We have to care for Steve
and every soldier like him.
654
00:31:19,962 --> 00:31:22,171
Restore their lost benefits,
restore their dignity.
655
00:31:22,172 --> 00:31:27,802
Understanding and compensating
can be your first steps.
656
00:31:40,399 --> 00:31:41,482
It's a "yes."
657
00:31:41,483 --> 00:31:42,984
Alright. We got one more.
658
00:31:42,985 --> 00:31:45,612
Uh, let's keep going. Uh...
659
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,591
Maybe we're missing a letter?
660
00:32:06,592 --> 00:32:08,218
Mnh.
661
00:32:09,094 --> 00:32:11,137
I think the message is complete.
662
00:32:11,138 --> 00:32:13,348
Uh, do you mind, Mrs. Petrov?
663
00:32:13,349 --> 00:32:15,642
Sure.
664
00:32:17,603 --> 00:32:21,357
Imagine how long he's wanted
to get these words out.
665
00:32:30,449 --> 00:32:32,117
Poor boy.
666
00:32:52,805 --> 00:32:54,514
You going to bed, Dad?
667
00:32:54,515 --> 00:32:58,143
We haven't seen those
hikers in hours.
668
00:32:59,978 --> 00:33:01,479
They don't want you to see them,
669
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:02,897
but they can see you.
670
00:33:02,898 --> 00:33:05,901
They've been watching
you for a while now.
671
00:33:08,195 --> 00:33:10,738
They want you 'cause
you're special.
672
00:33:10,739 --> 00:33:12,990
Because you're brilliant.
673
00:33:12,991 --> 00:33:15,952
You've been chosen, Oliver.
674
00:33:15,953 --> 00:33:18,121
You're gonna be the
world's greatest doctor.
675
00:33:18,122 --> 00:33:22,166
You're gonna help so
many people someday.
676
00:33:22,167 --> 00:33:24,752
You're the messiah.
677
00:33:24,753 --> 00:33:28,215
But don't worry.
I'll protect you.
678
00:33:32,386 --> 00:33:33,428
Dad.
679
00:33:37,433 --> 00:33:39,476
Don't leave me.
680
00:33:41,729 --> 00:33:43,354
I never will.
681
00:33:46,942 --> 00:33:49,111
Stay right here.
682
00:33:49,903 --> 00:33:52,489
Dad. Dad!
683
00:33:58,203 --> 00:34:00,414
What does it say?
684
00:34:01,707 --> 00:34:03,833
"Don't leave me."
685
00:34:07,713 --> 00:34:09,297
Um...
686
00:34:09,298 --> 00:34:12,133
Well, why don't you two, um,
687
00:34:12,134 --> 00:34:13,718
you know, page
interpreter services
688
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,137
and get a proper translator
in here to talk to him
689
00:34:16,138 --> 00:34:19,307
until we can find out a better way
to communicate with our patient?
690
00:34:19,308 --> 00:34:20,600
Uh...
691
00:34:30,986 --> 00:34:32,695
Uh... okay.
692
00:34:34,198 --> 00:34:35,907
Hey...
693
00:34:35,908 --> 00:34:37,658
What are you doing here?
694
00:34:37,659 --> 00:34:39,202
I was just out.
695
00:34:39,203 --> 00:34:42,080
Thought I'd stop
by and say what up.
696
00:34:42,956 --> 00:34:44,916
Can I come in?
697
00:34:44,917 --> 00:34:46,710
Yeah.
698
00:34:47,753 --> 00:34:49,546
Thank you.
699
00:34:50,923 --> 00:34:52,131
Shoes!
700
00:34:52,132 --> 00:34:54,967
{\an8}Okay. Okay.
701
00:34:54,968 --> 00:34:56,886
{\an8}One.
702
00:34:56,887 --> 00:34:59,055
{\an8}Two.
703
00:34:59,056 --> 00:35:02,016
{\an8}Three.
704
00:35:04,978 --> 00:35:08,189
Ahh. Nice.
705
00:35:08,190 --> 00:35:10,525
What the hell were you
doing out in the rain?
706
00:35:10,526 --> 00:35:12,527
I needed to blow off some steam.
707
00:35:12,528 --> 00:35:15,905
I figured, hey, maybe
I should enjoy my life
708
00:35:15,906 --> 00:35:18,991
before I turn into Steve.
709
00:35:18,992 --> 00:35:21,661
- Jacob.
- Well, I do black out,
710
00:35:21,662 --> 00:35:23,538
like, a lot.
711
00:35:23,539 --> 00:35:26,374
Yeah, because you
party too hard.
712
00:35:26,375 --> 00:35:27,917
Not because you have CTE.
713
00:35:27,918 --> 00:35:29,377
Right.
714
00:35:29,378 --> 00:35:31,212
Well, it doesn't matter anyways.
715
00:35:31,213 --> 00:35:33,548
Because, I mean, you
won't know anything
716
00:35:33,549 --> 00:35:36,551
until you slice my brain up.
717
00:35:36,552 --> 00:35:39,345
Okay. Okay. Go on. Go get dry.
718
00:35:39,346 --> 00:35:42,682
There's a towel in the
cabinet in the bathroom.
719
00:35:42,683 --> 00:35:45,810
Think I have an oversized
shirt somewhere.
720
00:35:51,733 --> 00:35:54,944
Oh, boy. Hm.
721
00:35:54,945 --> 00:35:58,739
So... what exactly happened
that made you stop playing?
722
00:35:58,740 --> 00:36:01,284
Thank you. Um...
723
00:36:01,285 --> 00:36:03,536
Well, my junior year,
I had two concussions
724
00:36:03,537 --> 00:36:07,123
in the same season,
and the doctors told me
725
00:36:07,124 --> 00:36:10,918
if I had one more,
I might not wake up.
726
00:36:10,919 --> 00:36:13,004
So I had to decide.
727
00:36:13,005 --> 00:36:14,964
Should I take the risk or not?
728
00:36:14,965 --> 00:36:17,216
I chose not to.
- Hm.
729
00:36:17,217 --> 00:36:19,886
And I regret it. Every day.
730
00:36:19,887 --> 00:36:21,429
What?
731
00:36:21,430 --> 00:36:24,473
Why? You're alive.
You're okay.
732
00:36:24,474 --> 00:36:27,603
No. You should have
seen me, Ericka.
733
00:36:28,687 --> 00:36:30,021
I was great.
734
00:36:30,022 --> 00:36:32,732
I was, like...
735
00:36:32,733 --> 00:36:34,901
really, really great.
736
00:36:34,902 --> 00:36:37,778
And now I'm just a...
737
00:36:37,779 --> 00:36:39,823
bad doctor.
738
00:36:41,533 --> 00:36:44,160
- Where is this coming from?
- Ah. Come on.
739
00:36:44,161 --> 00:36:46,495
Everyone thinks it.
- Mnh-mnh.
740
00:36:46,496 --> 00:36:47,914
Wolf thinks it.
741
00:36:48,999 --> 00:36:51,959
Even you think it.
742
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,754
I don't think
you're a bad doctor.
743
00:36:54,755 --> 00:36:56,340
Mnh-mnh.
744
00:37:01,136 --> 00:37:02,470
I should go to bed.
745
00:37:02,471 --> 00:37:05,306
- Okay.
- Here's a blanket.
746
00:37:05,307 --> 00:37:07,058
- Thank you.
- Pillow.
747
00:37:07,059 --> 00:37:08,976
- Hey, Kinney.
- Hm?
748
00:37:08,977 --> 00:37:13,272
If anyone ever does have
to slice my brain open...
749
00:37:15,317 --> 00:37:17,318
I want it to be you.
750
00:37:17,319 --> 00:37:20,613
Um...
751
00:37:20,614 --> 00:37:22,448
Same, I guess.
752
00:37:22,449 --> 00:37:27,412
♪ Oh, darlin', make it go ♪
753
00:37:38,590 --> 00:37:40,258
{\an8}Good morning!
754
00:37:41,301 --> 00:37:43,844
Good morning! Come
on. Wake up. Wake up.
755
00:37:43,845 --> 00:37:46,389
- Uh...
- Coffee?
756
00:37:46,390 --> 00:37:48,684
Sure.
757
00:37:58,610 --> 00:38:00,444
Last night, did... did we...
758
00:38:00,445 --> 00:38:02,989
No. Mnh. Absolutely not.
759
00:38:02,990 --> 00:38:05,032
Good.
760
00:38:05,033 --> 00:38:07,201
That's good.
761
00:38:07,202 --> 00:38:10,705
Well, um, to whatever
happened last night.
762
00:38:10,706 --> 00:38:13,874
- Nothing happened.
- Thank you.
763
00:38:13,875 --> 00:38:16,711
This blanket is cozy as hell.
764
00:38:16,712 --> 00:38:18,839
It's microfiber.
765
00:38:20,382 --> 00:38:21,882
- What?!
- He's got Mirror-Touch?!
766
00:38:21,883 --> 00:38:23,676
- That's what he told me.
- How long have you known this?
767
00:38:23,677 --> 00:38:26,388
- That's why he's... Shh.
- I can't believe it.
768
00:38:27,180 --> 00:38:29,557
What? Oh, did Mrs. Petrov
769
00:38:29,558 --> 00:38:31,225
bring her granddaughter
into the hospital?
770
00:38:31,226 --> 00:38:33,227
Nah. Nah. But I
did just annihilate
771
00:38:33,228 --> 00:38:35,229
a huge breakfast burrito.
772
00:38:35,230 --> 00:38:37,106
"Anything to
note, Dr. Markus?"
773
00:38:37,107 --> 00:38:40,735
Ignore him. I've always
appreciated your sensitivity.
774
00:38:40,736 --> 00:38:43,904
I think we need more
of it around here.
775
00:38:43,905 --> 00:38:45,322
You told them.
776
00:38:45,323 --> 00:38:48,325
I'm so sorry, Van.
777
00:38:48,326 --> 00:38:50,578
I know I said... I
shouldn't have done it,
778
00:38:50,579 --> 00:38:52,413
but it was so interesting.
779
00:38:52,414 --> 00:38:55,583
And... And I was doing
some research and...
780
00:38:55,584 --> 00:38:59,336
My God. Can you
ever forgive me?
781
00:38:59,337 --> 00:39:02,215
Why do you think
I told you, Dana?
782
00:39:04,009 --> 00:39:06,927
Saved me from "coming
out" three times.
783
00:39:10,474 --> 00:39:12,266
I underestimated you.
784
00:39:12,267 --> 00:39:15,061
Well played.
785
00:39:15,062 --> 00:39:17,104
Well played.
786
00:39:17,105 --> 00:39:21,067
Once the VA understood the
cause of Steve's trauma,
787
00:39:21,068 --> 00:39:23,194
his benefits were reinstated,
788
00:39:23,195 --> 00:39:25,404
his family was compensated,
789
00:39:25,405 --> 00:39:28,157
his honor restored.
790
00:39:28,158 --> 00:39:29,993
You ready?
791
00:39:34,122 --> 00:39:38,459
7 times 12.84.
792
00:39:38,460 --> 00:39:41,045
You're good.
793
00:39:41,046 --> 00:39:44,632
Divided by 6.
794
00:39:44,633 --> 00:39:46,425
Fourteen.
795
00:39:49,221 --> 00:39:51,472
Welcome, everyone.
796
00:39:51,473 --> 00:39:54,308
I want to thank you
all for coming today.
797
00:39:54,309 --> 00:39:56,311
My name is Steve.
798
00:39:57,771 --> 00:40:00,022
And I'm here to share my story.
799
00:40:00,023 --> 00:40:03,067
There was no changing
Steve's pathology,
800
00:40:03,068 --> 00:40:05,611
not even an official diagnosis.
801
00:40:05,612 --> 00:40:09,949
But in a sense, couldn't
you say that about us all?
802
00:40:09,950 --> 00:40:12,076
There is no cure for CTE,
803
00:40:12,077 --> 00:40:14,620
but we could slow the
symptoms with treatments
804
00:40:14,621 --> 00:40:17,331
for similar
neurodegenerative diseases.
805
00:40:17,332 --> 00:40:19,917
Exercise. Diet. Sleep.
806
00:40:19,918 --> 00:40:21,502
Giving Steve time.
807
00:40:21,503 --> 00:40:25,214
Hope for a future in
which we know more.
808
00:40:25,215 --> 00:40:28,342
Steve could see a
hopeful future now.
809
00:40:28,343 --> 00:40:29,885
He could hold it in his hands.
810
00:40:29,886 --> 00:40:31,512
It's Daddy.
811
00:40:31,513 --> 00:40:35,057
Our nervous systems
can't heal in isolation.
812
00:40:35,058 --> 00:40:36,851
- Aww!
- We need care...
813
00:40:36,852 --> 00:40:39,019
love, connection.
814
00:40:41,189 --> 00:40:42,857
That's right.
815
00:40:51,449 --> 00:40:55,661
Wolf. You paged me?
Something urgent?
816
00:40:55,662 --> 00:40:57,955
What do you got?
Gardening issues?
817
00:40:57,956 --> 00:41:02,877
Of a sort. I'm thinking
of planting a microchip.
818
00:41:02,878 --> 00:41:05,129
- Not you, too.
- Not Steve. No, no.
819
00:41:05,130 --> 00:41:07,548
For Steve, a microchip
was a coping mechanism.
820
00:41:07,549 --> 00:41:11,510
But what if, for John Doe...
821
00:41:11,511 --> 00:41:13,888
it was an actual mechanism?
822
00:41:13,889 --> 00:41:18,100
A brain computer interface
to help him communicate.
823
00:41:18,101 --> 00:41:19,936
Uh...
824
00:41:21,646 --> 00:41:26,483
Wolf, y-you realize how
experimental this tech is. It...
825
00:41:26,484 --> 00:41:29,778
This man has lost his voice.
826
00:41:29,779 --> 00:41:32,072
And you could give
it back to him,
827
00:41:32,073 --> 00:41:34,367
awaken him.
828
00:41:35,827 --> 00:41:38,830
Are you with me or not?
829
00:41:40,832 --> 00:41:43,668
Because I refuse to leave him.
830
00:42:18,745 --> 00:42:20,830
{\an8}Greg, move your head!62258
