- Based on our exam
and his last EEG,
43
00:01:52,034 --> 00:01:53,785
it appears that our John Doe

I told her
she didn't need to come.

he got home from his deployment.

but then there are days

and I just...

Uh, what's in there?

I've got everything documented.

you've been to the VA.
100
00:04:07,336 --> 00:04:08,836
Were there any help at all?
101
00:04:08,837 --> 00:04:10,171

for anxiety and depression,
103
00:04:11,924 --> 00:04:15,510
but he didn't like how they
made him feel, so he stopped.

When you break down,
are there any physical symptoms?

Headache, heart palpitations,
blurry vision?
108

- Sometimes.
A bit more lately.

before our son is born.
125
00:05:10,482 --> 00:05:12,650
- Well, we're here to help,
and the first step
126
00:05:12,651 --> 00:05:16,446
is determining
a correct diagnosis.
127
00:05:16,447 --> 00:05:19,032
- He's clearly withholding
something to protect his wife,
128
00:05:19,033 --> 00:05:22,744
but based off his symptoms,
my first thought was PTSD.
129
00:05:22,745 --> 00:05:25,413
That would explain his
hypervigilance, his insomnia,
130
00:05:25,414 --> 00:05:27,206
his intrusive thoughts,
131
00:05:27,207 --> 00:05:29,500
his grief over losing
his friend Aiden.
132
00:05:29,501 --> 00:05:32,587
It's very common for people
with PTSD to relive trauma
133
00:05:32,588 --> 00:05:34,380
Can make you feel like
you're living in the past
134
00:05:34,381 --> 00:05:36,257
and the present
all at the same time.
135
00:05:36,258 --> 00:05:37,884
Kind of like someone I know.
136
00:05:37,885 --> 00:05:40,511
- Okay, the VA already
treated him for PTSD--
137
00:05:40,512 --> 00:05:43,306
trauma-based CBT,
EMDR, exposure therapy,
138
00:05:43,307 --> 00:05:45,725
multiple SSRIs, even prazosin.
139
00:05:45,726 --> 00:05:48,686
What if PTSD
is only part of the story?
140
00:05:48,687 --> 00:05:51,355
It doesn't account
for all of his symptoms,
namely his delusions.
141
00:05:51,356 --> 00:05:53,107
Remember--
he's been seeing ghosts.
142
00:05:53,108 --> 00:05:55,777
- PTSD could be present in an
underlying neurological issue,
143
00:05:55,778 --> 00:05:58,154
like a tumor or--
or hydrocephalus.
144
00:05:58,155 --> 00:06:00,865
- He hasn't had a recent MRI,
but at least his CT scans
145
00:06:00,866 --> 00:06:02,450
didn't show anything
too concerning.
146
00:06:02,451 --> 00:06:04,285
It can be an episode
from psychosis
147
00:06:04,286 --> 00:06:06,037
due to schizophrenia
or bipolar disorder.
148
00:06:06,038 --> 00:06:08,915
- His age is a little unusual for
a schizophrenic first break.
149
00:06:08,916 --> 00:06:10,917
No history of mania.
150
00:06:10,918 --> 00:06:13,252
Uh, what about
frontotemporal dementia?
151
00:06:13,253 --> 00:06:16,297
- It could be early enough
that he's not showing
any of the telltale signs.

00:06:16,298 --> 00:06:18,049
- Well, all possibilities.

Look into this Aiden fellow,
see if he was treated
for similar symptoms.
156
00:06:25,015 --> 00:06:27,350
In order to understand
Steve's present condition,
157
00:06:27,351 --> 00:06:28,851

Can you tell us--
are you in pain?
341
00:15:03,867 --> 00:15:06,202
- Do you know where you are?
342
00:15:07,412 --> 00:15:09,330
{\an8}Oh.
- Okay. Let's ask him again
343
00:15:09,331 --> 00:15:11,332
{\an8}to make sure
he's answering correctly.
344
00:15:11,333 --> 00:15:14,919
- Um, tell me again.
Can you hear me?
345
00:15:19,966 --> 00:15:22,427
- Are you in pain, sir?
346
00:15:24,012 --> 00:15:26,598
- JD, can you look up?
347
00:15:27,891 --> 00:15:29,308
- I think he's feeling anxious.
348
00:15:29,309 --> 00:15:31,644
- What you're feeling is me--
all the time.
349
00:15:31,645 --> 00:15:33,897
Welcome to my amygdala.
350
00:15:35,273 --> 00:15:36,857
- [ Siren wails ]
- I got some intel.
351
00:15:36,858 --> 00:15:38,442
My Navy buddy
couldn't give me much.
352
00:15:38,443 --> 00:15:40,027
As expected, the military
is pretty buttoned-up,
353
00:15:40,028 --> 00:15:41,403
but I was able
to find out a little,
354
00:15:41,404 --> 00:15:43,530
and it turns out
that Dr. Moore was right.
355
00:15:43,531 --> 00:15:47,117
- Steve and his unit
never saw any combat?
356
00:15:47,118 --> 00:15:48,661
- It's a relatively new
strategy--
357
00:15:48,662 --> 00:15:50,621
minimize the number
of soldiers on the ground
358
00:15:50,622 --> 00:15:53,040
while units like Steve's pound
the enemy with artillery fire.
359
00:15:53,041 --> 00:15:55,209
- So he was miles away
from the front lines.
360
00:15:55,210 --> 00:15:56,877
- Which is why he and his unit
361
00:15:56,878 --> 00:15:58,504
never suffered
any combat-related injuries.
362
00:15:58,505 --> 00:16:02,091
Not one single casualty
during their deployment.
363
00:16:02,092 --> 00:16:05,177
And, yet,
since returning home...
364
00:16:05,178 --> 00:16:07,304
- What?
365
00:16:07,305 --> 00:16:09,223
- It wasn't just Aiden Miller.
366
00:16:09,224 --> 00:16:11,976
More than half the unit is dead.
367
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,688
Some from unintended
drug overdose,
368
00:16:15,689 --> 00:16:17,648
but others by suicide.
369
00:16:17,649 --> 00:16:18,941
- Hi, babe.
- How you doing?
370
00:16:18,942 --> 00:16:21,235
- How'd it go?
- Dr. Warner...
371
00:16:21,236 --> 00:16:22,903
- Something happened to him.
372
00:16:22,904 --> 00:16:25,490
- Something happened
to all of them.
373
00:16:31,538 --> 00:16:32,955
- We have a normal MRI.
- With severe delusions.
374
00:16:32,956 --> 00:16:35,582
- But their unit was decimated
by something.
375
00:16:35,583 --> 00:16:37,543
I mean, the rate of descent--
it's like it's
376
00:16:37,544 --> 00:16:39,837
Lewy Body Dementia,
early-onset Alzheimer's.
377
00:16:39,838 --> 00:16:42,715
It almost reminds me
of some former football
players I've seen.
378
00:16:42,716 --> 00:16:46,511
If I didn't know better, I'd say
Steve was suffering from CTE.
379
00:16:47,679 --> 00:16:48,887
- What'd you say?
380
00:16:48,888 --> 00:16:50,264
- Chronic Traumatic
Encephalopathy.
381
00:16:50,265 --> 00:16:52,391
- Yeah, no,
I know what CTE is, Wolf.
382
00:16:52,392 --> 00:16:54,143
It's just that that's
a sound theory. That
would explain a lot.
383
00:16:54,144 --> 00:16:56,019
- Mood swings,
cognitive impairment, paranoia.
384
00:16:56,020 --> 00:16:57,354
But he wasn't an athlete.
385
00:16:57,355 --> 00:16:59,106
He was never
in a serious accident.
386
00:16:59,107 --> 00:17:02,068
If he was never in combat,
how is CTE possible?
387
00:17:02,777 --> 00:17:05,404
- I want to show you something.
388
00:17:05,405 --> 00:17:07,198
[ Gunshot ]
389
00:17:11,327 --> 00:17:13,203
I'm gonna assume you've never
handled one of these before?
390
00:17:13,204 --> 00:17:15,581
- Uh, no.
- Okay. Safety 101.
391
00:17:15,582 --> 00:17:17,332
Always treat the gun
as if it's loaded.
392
00:17:17,333 --> 00:17:19,209
Always keep the gun
pointed in a safe direction.
393
00:17:19,210 --> 00:17:21,003
And always keep your finger
off the trigger
394
00:17:21,004 --> 00:17:22,629
till you're ready to shoot, okay?
395
00:17:22,630 --> 00:17:25,508
- I'm really seeing
the military in you now.
396
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,719
What was that like?
397
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,137
- It was good for me.
398
00:17:30,138 --> 00:17:31,764
Whipped me into shape
when I needed it.
399
00:17:31,765 --> 00:17:33,515
Forced me out of the house,
away from my parents.
400
00:17:33,516 --> 00:17:36,101
And, um, I got really close
with a lot of the guys.
401
00:17:36,102 --> 00:17:37,978
One in particular.
402
00:17:37,979 --> 00:17:40,523
- What about
"Don't Ask, Don't Tell"?
403
00:17:42,692 --> 00:17:43,901
- Not ideal.
404
00:17:43,902 --> 00:17:47,572
But, um, we found a way
to make it work.
405
00:17:49,407 --> 00:17:51,075
- Okay.
406
00:17:52,243 --> 00:17:54,995
- That's right.
Just gonna put your thumb...
407
00:17:54,996 --> 00:17:57,915
There you go. Okay. Now put
the front sight on the target.
408
00:17:57,916 --> 00:18:00,418
Bracket it by the rear sight.
409
00:18:03,129 --> 00:18:05,423
Okay. Squeeze the trigger.
410
00:18:09,844 --> 00:18:11,094
- The impact. The shock.
411
00:18:11,095 --> 00:18:13,180
It's like a blast wave
through my arms.
412
00:18:13,181 --> 00:18:16,350
- Now imagine that from a gun
a thousand times bigger,
413
00:18:16,351 --> 00:18:19,269
100 times a day,
every day for months.
414
00:18:19,270 --> 00:18:20,896
- So Steve's brain injury
wasn't caused
415
00:18:20,897 --> 00:18:25,025
by enemy blast exposure,
but by firing his own weapon.
416
00:18:25,026 --> 00:18:27,277
- It's a theory...
that we can only confirm
417
00:18:27,278 --> 00:18:29,112
by analyzing Steve's brain
postmortem.
418
00:18:29,113 --> 00:18:31,073
Thankfully,
our patient is still alive.
419
00:18:31,074 --> 00:18:34,159
- But there were others
who weren't so lucky.
420
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,078
Let's call Carol.
421
00:18:36,079 --> 00:18:37,746
- Thank you, Mrs. Miller,
for having us.
422
00:18:37,747 --> 00:18:41,583
We're grateful to the two of you
for taking the time.
423
00:18:41,584 --> 00:18:43,210
- That must be Aiden.
424
00:18:43,211 --> 00:18:45,420
From what I understand,
he was very good friends
425
00:18:45,421 --> 00:18:47,047
with our patient, Steve Hill?
426
00:18:47,048 --> 00:18:48,841
- Well, he mentioned Steve
a few times.
427
00:18:48,842 --> 00:18:50,384
Making friends came easy
to Aiden.
428
00:18:50,385 --> 00:18:52,719
Overseas, the men he served with
were like brothers.
429
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,391
It wasn't until he came home
we noticed a change.
430
00:18:57,559 --> 00:19:00,519
- He grew paranoid. He was
convinced he was being watched.
431
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,398
VA got him into therapy,
but he became combative.
432
00:19:04,399 --> 00:19:06,233
He was other-than-honorably
discharged
433
00:19:06,234 --> 00:19:07,901
after assaulting his therapist.
434
00:19:07,902 --> 00:19:12,739
We thought school would help,
but on orientation day...
435
00:19:12,740 --> 00:19:14,408
Aiden never came downstairs.
436
00:19:14,409 --> 00:19:15,702
- Hm.
437
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:20,539
- The love you had-- still have
for Aiden is palpable.
438
00:19:20,540 --> 00:19:22,583
I know healing
will take a lot more time,
439
00:19:22,584 --> 00:19:25,836
but we want to help you
get answers.
440
00:19:25,837 --> 00:19:28,380
- Have you heard of CTE?
441
00:19:28,381 --> 00:19:30,048
- What's that have to do
with my son?
442
00:19:30,049 --> 00:19:31,717
- Well, I believe
that there was an element
443
00:19:31,718 --> 00:19:35,554
to Aden's daily duties as
a soldier that exposed his brain
444
00:19:35,555 --> 00:19:39,182
to the repeated micro-traumas
necessary to develop CTE.
445
00:19:39,183 --> 00:19:41,184
And with your permission,
we would like
446
00:19:41,185 --> 00:19:43,604
to exhume Aiden's body
to study his brain
447
00:19:43,605 --> 00:19:46,523
and to find out for sure
what really happened.
448
00:19:46,524 --> 00:19:48,650
- We just buried our son,
and you want to dig him up.
449
00:19:48,651 --> 00:19:52,362
- Steve is suffering
the way Aiden was--
paranoia, delusions.
450
00:19:52,363 --> 00:19:54,615
We want to help him,
but we need more information.
451
00:19:54,616 --> 00:19:56,867
CTE can only be properly
diagnosed after death,
452
00:19:56,868 --> 00:19:58,911
and Aiden's is the only brain
we have access to.
453
00:19:58,912 --> 00:20:00,287
He's the only member of his unit
454
00:20:00,288 --> 00:20:02,623
that was not given
a military burial.
455
00:20:02,624 --> 00:20:04,416
So, in a sense,
456
00:20:04,417 --> 00:20:07,377
his dishonorable discharge
was a gift.
457
00:20:07,378 --> 00:20:10,589
- A gift? Aiden was a
third-generation Marine.
458
00:20:10,590 --> 00:20:13,383
If his grandfather--
The answer is no.
459
00:20:13,384 --> 00:20:15,886
- You-- My-- My colleague
meant no offense.
460
00:20:15,887 --> 00:20:18,639
I know you would give anything
to have him back.
461
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,641
All we're trying to do
is give another family

a fighting chance
at a different fate.
463
00:20:23,311 --> 00:20:27,481
I promise you. This was--
is-- our last resort.
464
00:20:27,482 --> 00:20:29,316

holds the answers

00:20:31,903 --> 00:20:34,988

Aiden would want.
