1
00:00:06,604 --> 00:00:08,139
Ready.
2
00:00:11,275 --> 00:00:12,642
Set, hut!
3
00:00:18,716 --> 00:00:21,583
Nice job, nice job.
Tempo, tempo. Let's go.
4
00:00:21,585 --> 00:00:22,851
On the ball, on the ball. Let's go.
5
00:00:22,853 --> 00:00:23,819
On the ball, let's go.
6
00:00:23,821 --> 00:00:25,354
Reset.
7
00:00:25,356 --> 00:00:27,124
Tempo, tempo. Let's pick
it up this time, boys.
8
00:00:27,126 --> 00:00:29,292
What personnel they got, Coach?
All right, let's change it.
9
00:00:29,294 --> 00:00:31,293
Wall right, wall right.
10
00:00:31,295 --> 00:00:32,828
Make sure you pick off the flyer.
11
00:00:32,830 --> 00:00:35,430
Here we go, here we
go. Everybody up!
12
00:00:35,432 --> 00:00:36,699
Ready. Set!
13
00:00:40,304 --> 00:00:41,904
- Watch the motion.
- Set, hut!
14
00:00:41,906 --> 00:00:44,207
There you go, get it, get it.
Turn up, turn up, turn up!
15
00:00:44,209 --> 00:00:45,208
Think fast! There you go.
16
00:00:45,210 --> 00:00:46,543
Just like this.
17
00:00:46,545 --> 00:00:48,879
There you go. Nice job. Nice job.
18
00:00:56,154 --> 00:00:57,385
Mike did. Someone to help me
19
00:00:57,387 --> 00:00:58,854
with maximum protection. Mike did.
20
00:00:58,856 --> 00:01:00,857
Someone to help me call
the play. Mike did.
21
00:01:00,859 --> 00:01:03,659
Someone to help me get the
team in line. Mike did it.
22
00:01:03,661 --> 00:01:05,895
Mike controlled it, Mike ran it.
23
00:01:05,897 --> 00:01:09,898
We needed him, we used
him, we leaned on him.
24
00:01:09,900 --> 00:01:13,436
He was our strength in our offense.
25
00:01:13,438 --> 00:01:16,806
I know this man. I know his
backside as well as anybody.
26
00:01:18,376 --> 00:01:23,678
Simply, nothing has ever
compared to Mike Webster.
27
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,748
Ladies and gentlemen,
the greatest center in
28
00:01:25,750 --> 00:01:27,883
the history of the
National Football League,
29
00:01:27,885 --> 00:01:29,585
your inductee into the Hall of Fame,
30
00:01:29,587 --> 00:01:33,656
number 52, "Iron Mike" Webster!
31
00:01:40,230 --> 00:01:41,496
Way to go, Mike!
32
00:01:41,498 --> 00:01:43,633
Uh...
33
00:01:43,635 --> 00:01:46,302
I'd like to begin...
34
00:01:46,304 --> 00:01:51,942
Um, obviously, I want it to be
fun, but I want to be truthful.
35
00:01:53,411 --> 00:02:00,650
'Cause the people out there are
tremendous fans, uh, locally.
36
00:02:00,652 --> 00:02:05,320
But as we, uh, as we go through
this, I want you to understand
37
00:02:05,322 --> 00:02:08,257
the greatest thing
that has happened to me
38
00:02:08,259 --> 00:02:11,129
in my experience of
professional football
39
00:02:13,264 --> 00:02:19,869
is to have the opportunity to work
with people with a common goal
40
00:02:19,871 --> 00:02:23,208
and with the same
purpose, and to sacrifice.
41
00:02:32,616 --> 00:02:35,417
I'll say this,
42
00:02:35,419 --> 00:02:38,422
it's painful playing
football, obviously.
43
00:02:39,524 --> 00:02:42,291
And, uh, it's not a
lot of fun out there
44
00:02:42,293 --> 00:02:46,294
to be in two-a-day drills
in the heat of the summer,
45
00:02:46,296 --> 00:02:48,330
and, uh, banging heads.
46
00:02:48,332 --> 00:02:50,133
It's not a natural thing.
47
00:03:03,814 --> 00:03:07,417
I was scared I'd fail. Honest
to God, I was scared I'd fail.
48
00:03:08,620 --> 00:03:10,922
I'm still scared of that.
49
00:03:41,352 --> 00:03:46,056
And all we have to do
is finish the game.
50
00:03:47,491 --> 00:03:50,528
If we finish, we win.
51
00:03:54,064 --> 00:03:55,934
Yeah.
52
00:04:21,826 --> 00:04:25,461
The state has asked, after a lengthy trial,
53
00:04:25,463 --> 00:04:27,829
a death sentence and two appeals,
54
00:04:27,831 --> 00:04:30,832
why we would learn anything new from you.
55
00:04:30,834 --> 00:04:34,803
Dr. Omalu, do you have a medical degree?
56
00:04:34,805 --> 00:04:39,108
Uh, yes. From the University of Nigeria.
57
00:04:39,110 --> 00:04:42,812
At Enugu, Nigeria.
58
00:04:42,814 --> 00:04:44,613
And I did my residency
59
00:04:44,615 --> 00:04:49,719
at Columbia University
Medical School in New York.
60
00:04:49,721 --> 00:04:52,555
Um, I also have master's degrees
61
00:04:52,557 --> 00:04:56,024
in Public Health and Epidemiology.
62
00:04:56,026 --> 00:05:00,562
In addition, I am a
certified physician executive,
63
00:05:00,564 --> 00:05:04,399
uh, with a specialty in Emergency Medicine.
64
00:05:04,401 --> 00:05:06,801
And, of course, I'm board-certified
65
00:05:06,803 --> 00:05:12,108
in Forensic Pathology, Clinical
Pathology and Anatomic Pathology.
66
00:05:12,110 --> 00:05:17,613
Uh, my... My focus is Neuropathology,
the examination of the brain.
67
00:05:17,615 --> 00:05:20,149
- While working as a Medical...
- I'm sorry. So sorry. I'm sorry.
68
00:05:20,151 --> 00:05:24,986
Uh, I'm also completing my MBA
at Carnegie Mellon University.
69
00:05:26,824 --> 00:05:29,625
Oh, uh, and, uh, before I came to America,
70
00:05:29,627 --> 00:05:31,993
a master's degree in the Theory of Music
71
00:05:31,995 --> 00:05:35,032
from the Royal School of Music in London.
72
00:05:39,002 --> 00:05:42,738
Oh, but... Oh, your... Your original
question, uh, what can I add?
73
00:05:42,740 --> 00:05:44,409
Um...
74
00:05:45,675 --> 00:05:50,512
My specialty is the science of death.
75
00:05:50,514 --> 00:05:52,848
I think more about why people die
76
00:05:52,850 --> 00:05:56,054
than I do the way people live.
77
00:05:58,990 --> 00:06:01,623
Hands of the deceased.
78
00:06:01,625 --> 00:06:04,493
Broken and dislodged fingernails.
79
00:06:04,495 --> 00:06:10,200
The hands of a woman who fought
wildly for her life and lost.
80
00:06:11,802 --> 00:06:14,502
The hands of the
defendant, Thomas Chambers.
81
00:06:14,504 --> 00:06:17,072
And that is, in fact,
the blood of the victim.
82
00:06:17,074 --> 00:06:19,774
Now, doesn't that suggest that
the state has the right man?
83
00:06:19,776 --> 00:06:23,779
I thought so, until I heard hour 217
84
00:06:23,781 --> 00:06:25,947
of Mr. Chambers' police interview.
85
00:06:25,949 --> 00:06:30,786
I heard him very clearly
say, "I hate blood.
86
00:06:30,788 --> 00:06:33,122
"I had a tooth pulled as a child once
87
00:06:33,124 --> 00:06:35,690
"and it would not stop bleeding."
88
00:06:35,692 --> 00:06:37,993
- So, I got curious.
- What about?
89
00:06:37,995 --> 00:06:42,063
Hands. I could not reconcile
these conflicting sets of hands.
90
00:06:42,065 --> 00:06:44,065
So, my mind... My mind is... My mind
91
00:06:44,067 --> 00:06:46,034
is going mad, and I'm trying to figure out
92
00:06:46,036 --> 00:06:50,171
if Thomas Chambers' family
has a history of hemophilia.
93
00:06:50,173 --> 00:06:53,074
So, I asked his father
and, uh, his father said no.
94
00:06:53,076 --> 00:06:56,846
But there is a strain of
hemophilia, hemophilia A,
95
00:06:56,848 --> 00:06:59,949
so rare that it is never tested for.
96
00:06:59,951 --> 00:07:02,817
Mr. Chambers tested
positive for hemophilia A.
97
00:07:02,819 --> 00:07:05,687
His hands may have touched the victim,
98
00:07:05,689 --> 00:07:08,791
perhaps to aid her, as he claims.
99
00:07:08,793 --> 00:07:10,793
If his hands had been the murder weapon,
100
00:07:10,795 --> 00:07:12,827
if he had been scratched or bitten,
101
00:07:12,829 --> 00:07:15,197
he would have bled to death.
102
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:18,968
If the state of Pennsylvania
moves forward to execute,
103
00:07:18,970 --> 00:07:22,673
you will be killing an innocent man.
104
00:08:30,774 --> 00:08:32,342
Way to go, Joe.
105
00:08:35,613 --> 00:08:36,778
Good morning, Gracie.
106
00:08:36,780 --> 00:08:38,214
Good morning, Dr. Omalu.
107
00:08:38,216 --> 00:08:40,715
- Here are the cases for today. Mmm-hmm.
- Okay. This is from yesterday.
108
00:08:40,717 --> 00:08:42,050
Hey, we got a full room today.
109
00:08:42,052 --> 00:08:43,753
- Cycle 'em through.
- Yes.
110
00:08:51,361 --> 00:08:53,797
Let's begin with Rachel Green.
111
00:09:18,389 --> 00:09:22,291
Okay, Rachel, I need your help.
112
00:09:22,293 --> 00:09:25,060
We are in this together.
113
00:09:25,062 --> 00:09:26,628
Please help me find out
what happened to you.
114
00:09:26,630 --> 00:09:28,162
Here we go.
115
00:09:28,164 --> 00:09:29,834
Danny, come on.
116
00:09:34,371 --> 00:09:36,305
Gracie.
117
00:09:36,307 --> 00:09:39,609
Dr. Omalu uses different
stuff. Makes less of a mess.
118
00:10:29,092 --> 00:10:31,225
Possible causal relationship
119
00:10:31,227 --> 00:10:35,730
between self-medication
and early head trauma,
120
00:10:35,732 --> 00:10:37,900
leading to narcotics abuse and overdose.
121
00:10:37,902 --> 00:10:40,268
You're not her shrink, Bennet!
122
00:10:40,270 --> 00:10:43,839
If I know how she lived,
I know why she died.
123
00:10:43,841 --> 00:10:45,840
And you should be careful, Danny.
124
00:10:45,842 --> 00:10:48,478
One day, I may be rushing
through your autopsy.
125
00:10:55,452 --> 00:10:58,921
Dr. Wecht, Dr. Omalu
is here to see you.
126
00:10:58,923 --> 00:11:02,190
You know the reason you're
not back in Nigeria, don't you?
127
00:11:02,192 --> 00:11:04,792
Uh, yes. Because I remind you of you.
128
00:11:04,794 --> 00:11:06,328
Only less handsome.
129
00:11:06,330 --> 00:11:07,932
Sit.
130
00:11:09,966 --> 00:11:12,334
What the hell is going on down there?
131
00:11:12,336 --> 00:11:14,402
Nothing. I'm doing my work. I'm fine.
132
00:11:14,404 --> 00:11:16,037
You're not fine.
133
00:11:16,039 --> 00:11:20,074
Danny hates your guts. I've
never seen anything like it.
134
00:11:20,076 --> 00:11:22,076
I think you're working a little too slow.
135
00:11:22,078 --> 00:11:23,445
I'm a doctor.
136
00:11:23,447 --> 00:11:26,949
The dead are my patients.
I treat them with respect.
137
00:11:26,951 --> 00:11:28,950
But do you have to talk to them?
138
00:11:28,952 --> 00:11:31,052
If you have to do that,
talk to them in your head.
139
00:11:32,356 --> 00:11:35,223
And we discussed the knives.
You're still throwing them away.
140
00:11:35,225 --> 00:11:37,493
We're a public agency in Pittsburgh.
141
00:11:37,495 --> 00:11:40,094
They're expensive. Reuse them.
142
00:11:40,096 --> 00:11:42,964
Would you want me to cut open your mother
143
00:11:42,966 --> 00:11:45,869
with the same knife I
used on a serial killer?
144
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:50,539
Yes.
145
00:11:50,541 --> 00:11:52,174
I'd probably request it.
146
00:11:54,544 --> 00:11:56,445
Cyril.
147
00:11:56,447 --> 00:11:59,080
You need a girlfriend.
148
00:11:59,082 --> 00:12:01,752
You need to touch somebody
alive every once in a while.
149
00:12:02,952 --> 00:12:05,521
Living women are... Well,
occasionally they're a pain in the ass,
150
00:12:05,523 --> 00:12:07,122
but quite often, they're amazing.
151
00:12:07,124 --> 00:12:08,556
Give it a try.
152
00:12:08,558 --> 00:12:10,057
Okay.
153
00:12:10,059 --> 00:12:12,493
Just be a little less of an artist.
154
00:12:12,495 --> 00:12:15,464
- Fit in a little more.
- Yes.
155
00:12:15,466 --> 00:12:17,997
It's another death row case.
156
00:12:17,999 --> 00:12:19,368
The guy's being railroaded.
157
00:12:19,370 --> 00:12:21,939
$1,000 for you.
158
00:12:23,106 --> 00:12:24,675
Cyril.
159
00:12:26,509 --> 00:12:29,844
Uh...
160
00:12:56,874 --> 00:12:58,940
Webby.
161
00:12:58,942 --> 00:13:00,908
Hey, man.
162
00:13:00,910 --> 00:13:02,945
I am loving the digs.
163
00:13:05,182 --> 00:13:06,949
Mike.
164
00:13:06,951 --> 00:13:08,752
It's Justin.
165
00:13:10,321 --> 00:13:11,453
I'll just sit with you for a minute, huh?
166
00:13:11,455 --> 00:13:13,454
Yeah.
167
00:13:22,899 --> 00:13:25,002
Jugger.
168
00:13:26,202 --> 00:13:29,070
We're all worried about you, man.
169
00:13:29,072 --> 00:13:31,305
What are you doing, Mike? Mike! Mike!
170
00:13:31,307 --> 00:13:33,474
- What are y'all doing? Give me that.
- No, no, no!
171
00:13:33,476 --> 00:13:35,109
It's all right. It's just...
172
00:13:35,111 --> 00:13:37,945
I just...
173
00:13:37,947 --> 00:13:40,449
I don't want to go to sleep.
174
00:13:42,186 --> 00:13:45,052
I heard you sold your
Super Bowl rings, Mike.
175
00:13:45,054 --> 00:13:46,990
Your Super Bowl rings, Mike.
176
00:13:53,596 --> 00:13:56,230
Mike, hey.
177
00:13:56,232 --> 00:13:58,067
Pam's your wife.
178
00:13:59,202 --> 00:14:01,502
- Garrett's your boy.
- Yeah, yeah.
179
00:14:05,308 --> 00:14:07,877
I'm starting to forget things.
180
00:14:09,178 --> 00:14:12,613
I'm saying this crazy crap to my kids.
181
00:14:12,615 --> 00:14:15,585
I nearly pushed Keana into a wall.
182
00:14:17,053 --> 00:14:18,286
I never thought I'd do that to her.
183
00:14:18,288 --> 00:14:19,621
All right, well, don't...
184
00:14:19,623 --> 00:14:21,992
Just don't give up.
185
00:14:23,126 --> 00:14:28,597
All we got to do is finish the game.
186
00:14:28,599 --> 00:14:30,601
We'll all be winners. Okay?
187
00:15:24,355 --> 00:15:26,054
Have a good day. It's good to see you.
188
00:15:26,056 --> 00:15:27,589
Bennet! A moment?
189
00:15:27,591 --> 00:15:30,191
Yes, Father.
190
00:15:30,193 --> 00:15:32,060
- How are you?
- We have a new member.
191
00:15:32,062 --> 00:15:34,396
A young lady from Kenya.
192
00:15:34,398 --> 00:15:37,498
She came to us a couple weeks
ago and she needs our help.
193
00:15:37,500 --> 00:15:38,967
Oh, sure. How much do you need, Father?
194
00:15:38,969 --> 00:15:42,304
She needs shelter, Bennet. Until
we find her something permanent.
195
00:15:42,306 --> 00:15:45,007
Father, I'm working on my MBA.
196
00:15:45,009 --> 00:15:46,507
I'm studying. My books
are all over, everywhere.
197
00:15:46,509 --> 00:15:49,076
She's a nice girl. She's from Nairobi.
198
00:15:49,078 --> 00:15:50,512
Went to British school.
199
00:15:50,514 --> 00:15:52,280
She wants to work.
200
00:15:52,282 --> 00:15:55,117
We're letting her tidy
up around the church.
201
00:15:55,119 --> 00:15:59,220
We're asking you because we know
she'll be safe and cared for.
202
00:15:59,222 --> 00:16:02,089
I feel God in you, Bennet.
203
00:16:02,091 --> 00:16:03,661
Thank you, Father.
204
00:16:06,196 --> 00:16:08,098
Who is she?
205
00:16:38,662 --> 00:16:40,264
So, uh...
206
00:16:41,565 --> 00:16:43,267
You can see.
207
00:16:51,174 --> 00:16:56,046
That is, uh, basically my office, there.
208
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,219
Is that your father?
209
00:17:05,221 --> 00:17:08,556
Ah, yes. The chief.
210
00:17:08,558 --> 00:17:11,159
Um...
211
00:17:11,161 --> 00:17:13,795
Those are my peaches.
212
00:17:13,797 --> 00:17:14,830
They should not be here.
213
00:17:16,567 --> 00:17:18,165
Your room.
214
00:17:18,167 --> 00:17:21,335
Uh, your room. There is a...
215
00:17:21,337 --> 00:17:24,007
The key, I have it for you.
216
00:17:25,375 --> 00:17:27,111
Um...
217
00:17:28,311 --> 00:17:31,246
How are you for... For money?
218
00:17:31,248 --> 00:17:32,983
I have some.
219
00:17:36,319 --> 00:17:38,120
No...
220
00:17:38,122 --> 00:17:41,024
Need is not weak.
221
00:17:42,125 --> 00:17:45,228
Need is need.
222
00:17:46,663 --> 00:17:48,596
I know where you are.
223
00:17:48,598 --> 00:17:50,334
I was you.
224
00:17:52,568 --> 00:17:55,603
You're in America now.
225
00:17:55,605 --> 00:17:59,343
So, you have to be the
best version of yourself.
226
00:18:00,477 --> 00:18:02,177
If you don't know what that is,
227
00:18:02,179 --> 00:18:05,580
you pick something and fake it.
228
00:18:05,582 --> 00:18:07,882
So, I will just...
229
00:18:07,884 --> 00:18:09,817
There, for you.
230
00:18:09,819 --> 00:18:12,153
What did you pick?
231
00:18:12,155 --> 00:18:13,921
- What did I pick?
- To fake.
232
00:18:13,923 --> 00:18:19,227
I picked an older bald-headed white man.
233
00:18:19,229 --> 00:18:21,930
Why an older bald-headed white man?
234
00:18:24,268 --> 00:18:27,371
Because he is the best at what he does.
235
00:18:28,771 --> 00:18:31,141
Do you want to see your room?
236
00:18:46,522 --> 00:18:51,161
I was a registered nurse at the
Aga Khan Hospital in Nairobi.
237
00:18:53,363 --> 00:18:55,630
I understand.
238
00:18:55,632 --> 00:18:58,667
I meant no offense.
239
00:19:02,271 --> 00:19:03,638
Hey!
240
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,606
Hey, wake up!
241
00:19:05,608 --> 00:19:08,343
Hey! Wake up, you.
242
00:19:08,345 --> 00:19:10,679
Come on, now. This ain't no
hotel. You can't sleep here.
243
00:19:10,681 --> 00:19:13,115
Put down your window, let's go!
244
00:19:17,587 --> 00:19:19,821
Wait.
245
00:19:19,823 --> 00:19:21,690
You're Mike Webster, right?
246
00:19:21,692 --> 00:19:24,392
Iron Mike.
247
00:19:24,394 --> 00:19:26,294
I called for him. He's coming.
248
00:19:26,296 --> 00:19:28,265
Okay, but I don't see him.
249
00:19:29,432 --> 00:19:31,632
Oh.
250
00:19:31,634 --> 00:19:33,267
Come on, come on.
251
00:19:33,269 --> 00:19:35,437
Come on, come on.
252
00:19:38,442 --> 00:19:40,574
Oh, what? What is...
253
00:19:47,317 --> 00:19:48,986
Oh, look at that.
254
00:19:51,654 --> 00:19:53,489
Mike, he's here.
255
00:19:54,724 --> 00:19:56,423
Hey, Mike.
256
00:19:56,425 --> 00:19:58,026
- Look, can you, uh...
- Mike, can you hear me?
257
00:19:58,028 --> 00:20:00,728
Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You just, uh...
258
00:20:00,730 --> 00:20:03,931
You just have to tell me
what to do, because I am...
259
00:20:03,933 --> 00:20:05,933
I am freaking overwhelmed.
260
00:20:05,935 --> 00:20:07,602
We're gonna get you some help, Mike.
261
00:20:07,604 --> 00:20:09,770
What are you taking right now?
262
00:20:09,772 --> 00:20:11,206
Oh, the Ritalin.
263
00:20:11,208 --> 00:20:13,374
Dexedrine, Prozac, Klonopin,
you're still taking all of those?
264
00:20:13,376 --> 00:20:14,476
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
265
00:20:14,478 --> 00:20:15,744
Come sit down, Mike.
266
00:20:15,746 --> 00:20:17,478
All of it, okay? And superglue.
267
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,546
- Okay.
- Yeah, superglue.
268
00:20:19,548 --> 00:20:22,584
3.5 Haldol. You call his
wife. You tell her he's worse.
269
00:20:22,586 --> 00:20:23,884
He's a lot worse.
270
00:20:23,886 --> 00:20:25,519
You were my doctor. You
were my doctor, right?
271
00:20:25,521 --> 00:20:26,854
I was the team doctor.
272
00:20:26,856 --> 00:20:29,591
Okay! Okay, all right,
then, the team doctor!
273
00:20:29,593 --> 00:20:31,793
All right? The team doctor!
274
00:20:31,795 --> 00:20:33,761
All right? Then why aren't
you helping me, all right?
275
00:20:33,763 --> 00:20:35,896
- I am gonna help you.
- You are not helping me.
276
00:20:35,898 --> 00:20:38,499
You got to fix this! You
got to fix this! All right?
277
00:20:38,501 --> 00:20:40,367
In here, all right?
278
00:20:40,369 --> 00:20:43,938
And in here. I am dying in here!
279
00:20:43,940 --> 00:20:45,472
- I'm dying in here, all right?
- Dr. Bailes.
280
00:20:45,474 --> 00:20:46,908
I hear you, Mike.
281
00:20:46,910 --> 00:20:49,046
It's okay.
282
00:20:50,814 --> 00:20:52,613
Let me give you something
to help you rest, Mike.
283
00:20:52,615 --> 00:20:54,815
You want to rest, don't you?
284
00:20:54,817 --> 00:20:58,753
I just want you to help me, all
right? I just want you to help me.
285
00:20:58,755 --> 00:21:00,020
I will help you, Mike.
286
00:21:00,022 --> 00:21:01,655
Just help me. Just...
287
00:21:02,925 --> 00:21:05,360
- Come and sit down.
- Okay.
288
00:21:05,362 --> 00:21:07,229
Come and sit down.
289
00:21:11,934 --> 00:21:14,035
Well, go ahead, give me the
drugs, give me the drugs.
290
00:21:14,037 --> 00:21:16,403
Show me how you're gonna help me.
291
00:21:16,405 --> 00:21:18,073
- Don't move, Mike.
- Mmm-hmm.
292
00:21:18,075 --> 00:21:20,009
Ow!
293
00:21:21,678 --> 00:21:22,943
Come and sit down, Mike.
294
00:21:22,945 --> 00:21:24,778
Ooh.
295
00:21:24,780 --> 00:21:26,349
Ooh.
296
00:21:28,417 --> 00:21:30,252
- Ooh.
- Come lay down, Mike.
297
00:21:34,758 --> 00:21:37,194
You rest now, Mike.
298
00:21:40,797 --> 00:21:43,064
What am I missing?
299
00:21:43,066 --> 00:21:45,467
- Tumor?
- No.
300
00:21:45,469 --> 00:21:48,036
All of his scans were clean.
301
00:22:24,508 --> 00:22:26,908
Through the years,
the dauntless Webster
302
00:22:26,910 --> 00:22:28,977
had abandoned his
family, slipped into
303
00:22:28,979 --> 00:22:31,712
financial chaos and homelessness.
304
00:22:31,714 --> 00:22:34,915
This is a hard day for the city
of Pittsburgh. On a personal note,
305
00:22:34,917 --> 00:22:36,785
I can remember sitting
down with my father
306
00:22:36,787 --> 00:22:40,054
and him giving me examples
of hard work ethic
307
00:22:40,056 --> 00:22:42,724
and telling me when you get knocked
down, you get back up again.
308
00:22:42,726 --> 00:22:46,594
I'm sorry, uh, I don't usually watch TV.
309
00:22:46,596 --> 00:22:48,763
Then why do you have one?
310
00:22:48,765 --> 00:22:51,601
One has a TV in this country.
311
00:23:00,911 --> 00:23:05,180
Oh, I'm sorry, I don't
usually eat breakfast.
312
00:23:05,182 --> 00:23:08,250
One should eat breakfast in this country.
313
00:23:19,462 --> 00:23:21,830
Dear God,
314
00:23:21,832 --> 00:23:23,565
thank You for the gifts You have
315
00:23:23,567 --> 00:23:25,933
so graciously bestowed upon us.
316
00:23:25,935 --> 00:23:29,504
Please help us to continue to
be deservant of Your blessings.
317
00:23:29,506 --> 00:23:31,206
Amen.
318
00:23:31,208 --> 00:23:32,975
Bennet!
319
00:23:32,977 --> 00:23:35,509
Just hours after he was
rushed to the nearby hospital,
320
00:23:35,511 --> 00:23:37,612
football Hall of Famer,
Iron Mike Webster...
321
00:23:37,614 --> 00:23:38,947
What is going on?
322
00:23:38,949 --> 00:23:40,215
Mike Webster.
323
00:23:40,217 --> 00:23:41,783
Who's Mike Webster?
324
00:23:41,785 --> 00:23:43,218
He's the greatest center
to ever play the game.
325
00:23:43,220 --> 00:23:44,751
He's a true warrior.
326
00:23:44,753 --> 00:23:45,819
Um...
327
00:23:45,821 --> 00:23:47,921
I'm sorry. What is a center?
328
00:23:47,923 --> 00:23:49,524
The big guy in the middle. Hikes it.
329
00:23:49,526 --> 00:23:51,558
My kid plays football because of this guy.
330
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,694
Okay, I'm sorry. I just
did not know who he was.
331
00:23:53,696 --> 00:23:54,895
Well, if you're gonna live in this town,
332
00:23:54,897 --> 00:23:56,898
you gonna work in this town,
football is a good thing.
333
00:23:56,900 --> 00:23:58,932
I freaking can't believe it's you.
334
00:23:58,934 --> 00:24:01,702
Well, as you know, I was put on
the schedule for this weekend.
335
00:24:01,704 --> 00:24:03,705
I am put on the schedule for every weekend.
336
00:24:03,707 --> 00:24:06,710
Come on. Come on.
337
00:24:10,579 --> 00:24:12,980
The whole town was out of work.
338
00:24:12,982 --> 00:24:15,149
He was a guy who gave us hope
when there really was no hope.
339
00:24:15,151 --> 00:24:18,622
Just leave him be.
340
00:24:22,592 --> 00:24:24,726
Look at his teeth.
341
00:24:24,728 --> 00:24:28,598
He was pulling them out and
supergluing them back in.
342
00:24:30,634 --> 00:24:32,901
Gracie, full autopsy, please.
343
00:24:32,903 --> 00:24:35,870
Hey, come on, man. There's no
need to cut this man's body.
344
00:24:35,872 --> 00:24:38,907
Why does an apparently healthy
favorite son of this city
345
00:24:38,909 --> 00:24:42,512
become self-mutilating and homeless at 50?
346
00:24:43,747 --> 00:24:47,215
Cardiac arrest may be
how he died, but not why.
347
00:24:47,217 --> 00:24:48,115
Prepare the body, please.
348
00:24:48,117 --> 00:24:49,752
Yes.
349
00:24:55,625 --> 00:24:58,092
I think what he's saying is that
350
00:24:58,094 --> 00:25:01,763
sometimes in life, you know, you just...
351
00:25:01,765 --> 00:25:04,132
You're asked to leave it alone.
352
00:25:04,134 --> 00:25:06,034
But, uh, sometimes you can't.
353
00:25:06,036 --> 00:25:08,268
Mmm.
354
00:25:08,270 --> 00:25:11,573
Do you believe that he thinks this is
a time that I should leave it alone?
355
00:25:11,575 --> 00:25:14,074
No, I don't.
356
00:25:14,076 --> 00:25:15,309
I never leave it alone.
357
00:25:15,311 --> 00:25:17,746
That's why people hate me.
358
00:26:03,159 --> 00:26:04,794
Mike.
359
00:26:06,162 --> 00:26:10,230
People are saying bad things about you.
360
00:26:10,232 --> 00:26:13,301
I can tell something is wrong.
361
00:26:13,303 --> 00:26:15,937
But I can't do this alone.
362
00:26:15,939 --> 00:26:19,709
I need your help to tell the
world what happened to you.
363
00:27:07,257 --> 00:27:08,858
Hmm.
364
00:27:26,009 --> 00:27:29,443
Oh, uh, sorry. Um...
365
00:27:30,814 --> 00:27:33,948
Regular folds of gray matter.
366
00:27:33,950 --> 00:27:37,017
No obvious contusions.
367
00:27:37,019 --> 00:27:40,789
No shrinkage from Alzheimer's.
368
00:27:44,493 --> 00:27:46,495
What's wrong?
369
00:27:49,265 --> 00:27:52,635
Uh, can you show me the
CT scan again, please?
370
00:27:57,807 --> 00:27:58,940
How old are these?
371
00:27:58,942 --> 00:28:00,807
Mmm, six months.
372
00:28:00,809 --> 00:28:02,746
Six months.
373
00:28:17,861 --> 00:28:20,530
This brain should be a mess.
374
00:28:23,298 --> 00:28:25,634
- But it looks completely normal.
- Mmm.
375
00:28:27,836 --> 00:28:33,474
Records say severe headaches,
double vision, voices in his head.
376
00:28:33,476 --> 00:28:35,776
No documented concussions.
377
00:28:35,778 --> 00:28:37,978
He did complain of dizziness.
378
00:28:37,980 --> 00:28:40,547
- Yes. How often?
- Once.
379
00:28:40,549 --> 00:28:44,518
In 18 years of professional football?
380
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,254
"Joseph Maroon."
381
00:28:46,256 --> 00:28:48,525
Sign the certificate. Sew him up.
382
00:28:51,227 --> 00:28:54,161
Fix the brain, please.
383
00:28:54,163 --> 00:28:57,364
You know we don't have
the budget to do that.
384
00:28:57,366 --> 00:28:59,534
People do not go mad for no reason.
385
00:28:59,536 --> 00:29:00,535
I'm going to continue looking.
386
00:29:00,537 --> 00:29:02,870
No, you're not going to.
387
00:29:02,872 --> 00:29:04,971
Danny, you are out of line.
388
00:29:04,973 --> 00:29:07,275
Hey, you do not speak to me like that!
389
00:29:07,277 --> 00:29:09,242
- I am the pathologist on duty!
- Oh, man.
390
00:29:09,244 --> 00:29:11,112
- I am the pathologist of record!
- Hey! Listen!
391
00:29:11,114 --> 00:29:13,080
This is not your laboratory!
392
00:29:13,082 --> 00:29:15,549
My hands are on this body!
If I am wrong, I am wrong!
393
00:29:15,551 --> 00:29:18,385
- And you are wrong.
- Not you, me!
394
00:29:18,387 --> 00:29:20,587
Fix that brain.
395
00:29:20,589 --> 00:29:23,290
Hey, I am gonna make sure
they don't pay for any of this.
396
00:29:23,292 --> 00:29:26,326
I am going to write my orders
for the tests that I need.
397
00:29:26,328 --> 00:29:27,394
And you're paying for it yourself.
398
00:29:27,396 --> 00:29:28,895
Yes, Danny.
399
00:29:28,897 --> 00:29:31,033
Please, exit my workplace.
400
00:29:34,604 --> 00:29:37,270
Please!
401
00:29:37,272 --> 00:29:40,908
In 25 years, I've never requested
a panel of tests like this.
402
00:29:40,910 --> 00:29:42,476
What are you looking for?
403
00:29:42,478 --> 00:29:47,582
There is not a single
case in a book or in life
404
00:29:47,584 --> 00:29:52,319
where a man that healthy
went that mad that young
405
00:29:52,321 --> 00:29:55,090
with no visible abnormality of the brain.
406
00:29:56,925 --> 00:29:58,926
I don't know what I'm looking for.
407
00:29:58,928 --> 00:30:00,797
I can tell.
408
00:30:01,931 --> 00:30:04,265
It's going to cost you a fortune.
409
00:30:04,267 --> 00:30:06,167
I understand.
410
00:30:06,169 --> 00:30:07,901
Okay.
411
00:30:07,903 --> 00:30:09,937
Well, if you have to play hero,
412
00:30:09,939 --> 00:30:12,508
just make sure we both come out okay.
413
00:30:52,414 --> 00:30:55,917
Dr. Omalu. You got something
today. Left it on your desk.
414
00:30:55,919 --> 00:30:57,450
Oh, thank you.
415
00:31:22,545 --> 00:31:24,147
Prema!
416
00:31:25,682 --> 00:31:28,750
It's very late. Where have you been?
417
00:31:32,689 --> 00:31:35,422
I got a job.
418
00:31:35,424 --> 00:31:37,691
- Look at you.
- Well, uh, a shift.
419
00:31:39,328 --> 00:31:42,330
At a home. Feeding old people.
420
00:31:42,332 --> 00:31:44,968
That is fantastic. Congratulations.
421
00:31:46,568 --> 00:31:49,069
What is that?
422
00:31:49,071 --> 00:31:51,073
Mike Webster.
423
00:31:58,315 --> 00:31:59,546
...phrase is worth $1,000.
424
00:31:59,548 --> 00:32:01,183
And here we go.
425
00:32:04,119 --> 00:32:08,756
Would you like me to get
you a TV for your room?
426
00:32:08,758 --> 00:32:12,593
No. This one will be fine.
427
00:32:12,595 --> 00:32:14,764
Oh, okay.
428
00:32:26,375 --> 00:32:29,209
I can't tell what you're more afraid of.
429
00:32:29,211 --> 00:32:33,613
What you will find, or what you won't.
430
00:32:33,615 --> 00:32:35,117
Hmm.
431
00:33:59,769 --> 00:34:01,804
My God.
432
00:34:05,842 --> 00:34:07,877
My God.
433
00:34:32,668 --> 00:34:33,967
...jacked up from those guys
434
00:34:33,969 --> 00:34:35,769
that are gonna be racing
those sides on this.
435
00:34:35,771 --> 00:34:37,871
Let's get to Jacked Up Number 5.
436
00:34:37,873 --> 00:34:40,708
We're gonna begin with
the Rams and the Chargers.
437
00:34:40,710 --> 00:34:43,610
Mark Bulger gonna be delivering
the ball to Tony Fisher.
438
00:34:43,612 --> 00:34:45,679
Throws it down around his feet.
439
00:34:45,681 --> 00:34:48,615
So, Donnie Edwards is gonna
level him right there.
440
00:34:48,617 --> 00:34:51,351
Always be looking out for
the big hit right there.
441
00:34:51,353 --> 00:34:54,655
- Tony Fisher got jacked up!
- Jacked up!
442
00:34:54,657 --> 00:34:57,557
Number 4, the Seahawks
and the Chiefs.
443
00:34:57,559 --> 00:34:59,760
D.J. Hackett is gonna make the catch
444
00:34:59,762 --> 00:35:02,229
and Ty Law will
launch him backwards.
445
00:35:02,231 --> 00:35:04,699
How far backwards?
446
00:35:04,701 --> 00:35:08,401
Eyes on me! Eyes on me! Gentlemen!
447
00:35:08,403 --> 00:35:11,237
This is a game of awareness.
448
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,641
It is a game of desire. That's why
we have the three-whistle drill.
449
00:35:14,643 --> 00:35:16,510
Let's go!
450
00:35:16,512 --> 00:35:18,646
When I blow this
whistle three times,
451
00:35:18,648 --> 00:35:21,248
you seek out a
teammate. Any teammate.
452
00:35:21,250 --> 00:35:24,684
You make collision, you be
physical, you be violent!
453
00:35:24,686 --> 00:35:26,286
Bring it in here, let's go! Bring it in!
454
00:35:29,759 --> 00:35:32,392
The only way you're gonna get
this player's hands off you,
455
00:35:32,394 --> 00:35:34,561
you grab him by the throat and you squeeze!
456
00:35:34,563 --> 00:35:39,200
You choke him until shit runs
down his leg! Do you understand me?
457
00:35:39,202 --> 00:35:40,202
- Oh!
- Ooh, ooh, wow.
458
00:35:50,980 --> 00:35:52,679
Let's go! Let's go!
459
00:35:53,949 --> 00:35:55,916
Drive! Drive! Hit him!
460
00:35:55,918 --> 00:35:58,851
Hit it! Drive! Drive!
461
00:35:58,853 --> 00:36:01,287
The Jaguars and the
Eagles. Dirk Johnson.
462
00:36:01,289 --> 00:36:03,958
And I'm gonna wait for this
because the look on his face
463
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,293
- tells you that he got jacked up!
- Jacked up!
464
00:36:12,434 --> 00:36:15,235
And our Number 1 hit of the week,
465
00:36:15,237 --> 00:36:17,804
Jon Kitna dropping back the pass,
466
00:36:17,806 --> 00:36:22,709
and Shawntae Spencer
lifts him off his feet!
467
00:36:22,711 --> 00:36:27,149
- Oh, my God! And Jon Kitna got jacked up!
- Jacked up!
468
00:36:49,938 --> 00:36:52,373
You should see this, Bennet.
469
00:36:55,577 --> 00:36:58,979
It's actually really beautiful.
470
00:36:58,981 --> 00:37:01,914
Priest Holmes, he's diving.
Yes, he's got it! Touchdown!
471
00:37:01,916 --> 00:37:04,452
Oh, tremendous! Tremendous catch!
472
00:37:07,289 --> 00:37:09,423
I want to show you something.
473
00:37:09,425 --> 00:37:11,659
A human brain
474
00:37:11,661 --> 00:37:16,299
sits in a fluid completely
disconnected from the human skull.
475
00:37:52,668 --> 00:37:56,238
Bennet, will you relax?
I can hear you breathing.
476
00:38:05,681 --> 00:38:08,451
This is a really terrible brain.
477
00:38:10,552 --> 00:38:12,452
Ever met the great DeKosky before?
478
00:38:12,454 --> 00:38:15,024
Expect two minutes, tops.
479
00:38:16,358 --> 00:38:18,124
Is that him?
480
00:38:18,126 --> 00:38:20,129
So, you're our prize graduate.
481
00:38:39,981 --> 00:38:41,782
Tell him.
482
00:38:41,784 --> 00:38:44,150
It's Mike Webster.
483
00:38:44,152 --> 00:38:45,452
The Pittsburgh...
484
00:38:45,454 --> 00:38:46,987
I know who Mike Webster is.
485
00:38:46,989 --> 00:38:48,454
Steve.
486
00:38:48,456 --> 00:38:50,359
He was 50.
487
00:39:05,474 --> 00:39:07,141
You have my attention.
488
00:39:14,483 --> 00:39:15,883
The Cape gannet.
489
00:39:15,885 --> 00:39:21,188
A diving bird capable of generating
speeds of up to 75 miles per hour,
490
00:39:21,190 --> 00:39:25,261
turning itself into a missile as it
collides with the face of the sea.
491
00:39:27,163 --> 00:39:30,998
The red-head woodpecker can
absorb a G-force of 1,000,
492
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,501
pecking a tree 12,000 times per day,
493
00:39:34,503 --> 00:39:37,440
85 million times over its lifetime.
494
00:39:41,443 --> 00:39:43,577
Bighorn sheep can generate...
495
00:39:43,579 --> 00:39:45,281
- Bennet.
- Hmm?
496
00:39:46,614 --> 00:39:49,350
Okay, okay.
497
00:39:50,885 --> 00:39:54,987
All of these animals have shock
absorbers built into their bodies.
498
00:39:54,989 --> 00:39:56,956
The woodpecker's tongue extends through
499
00:39:56,958 --> 00:39:58,592
the back of the mouth out of the nostril,
500
00:39:58,594 --> 00:40:00,927
encircling the entire cranium.
501
00:40:00,929 --> 00:40:03,530
It is the anatomical equivalent
502
00:40:03,532 --> 00:40:05,865
of a safety belt for its brain.
503
00:40:05,867 --> 00:40:07,867
Human beings?
504
00:40:07,869 --> 00:40:10,838
Not a single piece of our anatomy
505
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,673
protects us from those types of collisions.
506
00:40:13,675 --> 00:40:17,911
A human being will get concussed at 60 G's.
507
00:40:17,913 --> 00:40:22,081
A common head-to-head
contact on a football field?
508
00:40:22,083 --> 00:40:24,652
One hundred G's.
509
00:40:26,222 --> 00:40:29,956
God did not intend for us to play football.
510
00:40:29,958 --> 00:40:33,494
Let's keep God out of this.
511
00:40:33,496 --> 00:40:35,695
Okay.
512
00:40:35,697 --> 00:40:38,166
Um, okay. Look.
513
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:45,639
What are the S's?
514
00:40:45,641 --> 00:40:47,941
Uh, the Steelers.
515
00:40:47,943 --> 00:40:50,244
- And the O's?
- The others, obviously.
516
00:40:50,246 --> 00:40:51,711
Yes, the other team.
517
00:40:51,713 --> 00:40:53,646
Do you even watch football?
518
00:40:53,648 --> 00:40:55,282
Uh, no, not at all.
519
00:40:55,284 --> 00:40:58,017
But I've been studying
Mike Webster's position.
520
00:40:58,019 --> 00:41:00,686
The man in the middle is quite deceptively
521
00:41:00,688 --> 00:41:02,856
the most violent position on the field.
522
00:41:02,858 --> 00:41:05,157
The slaps, the punches, the forearm.
523
00:41:05,159 --> 00:41:08,729
It is an unremitting storm
of sub-concussive blows.
524
00:41:08,731 --> 00:41:12,733
The head as a weapon on every
single play of every single game
525
00:41:12,735 --> 00:41:14,267
of every single practice, from the time
526
00:41:14,269 --> 00:41:17,271
he was a little boy to a college man,
527
00:41:17,273 --> 00:41:21,541
culminating in an 18-year
professional career.
528
00:41:21,543 --> 00:41:23,276
By my calculations,
529
00:41:23,278 --> 00:41:25,679
Mike Webster sustained
530
00:41:25,681 --> 00:41:29,484
more than 70,000 blows to his head.
531
00:41:31,052 --> 00:41:34,021
Now, now, these men, these men,
532
00:41:34,023 --> 00:41:36,757
these are the fastest.
533
00:41:36,759 --> 00:41:40,726
Now, their speed multiplied by
the speed of the men who hit them,
534
00:41:40,728 --> 00:41:42,896
the G-forces generated
535
00:41:42,898 --> 00:41:47,034
equivalent to hitting them on
the helmet with a sledgehammer.
536
00:41:47,036 --> 00:41:49,235
All of this
537
00:41:49,237 --> 00:41:52,639
triggered a cascading
series of neurological events
538
00:41:52,641 --> 00:41:54,340
which unleashed killer proteins
539
00:41:54,342 --> 00:41:58,177
upon Mike Webster's brain,
540
00:41:58,179 --> 00:42:04,184
the tangles invading and strangling
his mind from the inside out.
541
00:42:04,186 --> 00:42:08,789
Like pouring wet concrete
down kitchen pipes.
542
00:42:08,791 --> 00:42:13,796
As it hardens, it chokes the
brain, leaving him unrecognizable,
543
00:42:15,197 --> 00:42:17,466
even to himself.
544
00:42:18,701 --> 00:42:22,735
I don't know football. I've never played.
545
00:42:22,737 --> 00:42:28,309
But I am telling you that playing
football killed Mike Webster.
546
00:42:29,378 --> 00:42:31,945
And I am certain that there are others.
547
00:42:31,947 --> 00:42:34,313
And how can you possibly know that?
548
00:42:34,315 --> 00:42:36,249
Common sense.
549
00:42:36,251 --> 00:42:38,050
But they are either dead or lost
550
00:42:38,052 --> 00:42:39,820
in the way that Mike Webster was lost.
551
00:42:39,822 --> 00:42:42,188
I'm not interested in common sense.
552
00:42:42,190 --> 00:42:44,324
I'm interested in science.
553
00:42:44,326 --> 00:42:46,659
And science is knowing.
554
00:42:46,661 --> 00:42:49,329
I know from these players' records
555
00:42:49,331 --> 00:42:52,766
that their doctors believe
they have early Alzheimer's,
556
00:42:52,768 --> 00:42:55,334
which is statistically impossible.
557
00:42:55,336 --> 00:42:57,970
They're too young.
558
00:42:57,972 --> 00:43:01,240
Because it's not Alzheimer's.
559
00:43:01,242 --> 00:43:02,877
It is this.
560
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,999
I don't like it.
561
00:43:27,001 --> 00:43:28,434
No.
562
00:43:28,436 --> 00:43:31,438
No, actually, I hate it.
563
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,776
But as a scientist,
564
00:43:35,811 --> 00:43:37,846
I can't deny it.
565
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:42,317
Name it. You have to give this a name.
566
00:44:07,710 --> 00:44:11,010
Oh, I'm sorry. Did I wake you?
567
00:44:11,012 --> 00:44:14,380
Did they agree what it is?
568
00:44:14,382 --> 00:44:16,450
Oh.
569
00:44:16,452 --> 00:44:20,086
Yes, yes. We are going to publish.
570
00:44:20,088 --> 00:44:21,822
They...
571
00:44:21,824 --> 00:44:24,324
- With you?
- Yes.
572
00:44:24,326 --> 00:44:27,159
In a medical journal.
573
00:44:27,161 --> 00:44:28,795
With you?
574
00:44:28,797 --> 00:44:32,199
Yes, with me. Together.
575
00:44:32,201 --> 00:44:34,435
That's so...
576
00:44:36,371 --> 00:44:39,072
Congratulations.
577
00:44:39,074 --> 00:44:41,410
Thank you. Thank you.
578
00:44:44,179 --> 00:44:46,912
Uh, you, um...
579
00:44:46,914 --> 00:44:49,449
Are you going somewhere?
580
00:44:49,451 --> 00:44:51,383
Yes.
581
00:44:51,385 --> 00:44:53,987
With you.
582
00:44:53,989 --> 00:44:55,421
To celebrate.
583
00:45:11,940 --> 00:45:14,340
You don't dance, do you?
584
00:46:56,077 --> 00:47:00,082
I had quite a revelation tonight.
585
00:47:02,650 --> 00:47:05,918
This body was made for dancing.
586
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,621
When they say "dancing
machine," I am what they mean.
587
00:47:10,626 --> 00:47:13,962
I'm very proud of you.
588
00:47:17,632 --> 00:47:18,999
Okay.
589
00:47:43,659 --> 00:47:46,458
May I kiss you?
590
00:48:32,708 --> 00:48:34,974
- Good morning.
- Cyril.
591
00:48:34,976 --> 00:48:37,978
It's very weird to bring
women into the morgue at night.
592
00:48:37,980 --> 00:48:39,045
She is a friend.
593
00:48:39,047 --> 00:48:41,581
You don't have friends.
594
00:48:41,583 --> 00:48:43,615
Listen, Danny knows she's been in there.
595
00:48:43,617 --> 00:48:45,385
He's thinking about
filing a formal complaint.
596
00:48:45,387 --> 00:48:47,320
What?
597
00:48:47,322 --> 00:48:49,222
I was working on Webster.
598
00:48:49,224 --> 00:48:51,191
I know. I'll take care of it.
599
00:48:51,193 --> 00:48:54,226
How much has that cost you so far?
600
00:48:54,228 --> 00:48:55,295
$20,000.
601
00:48:55,297 --> 00:48:56,729
Twenty?
602
00:48:56,731 --> 00:48:59,032
I save.
603
00:48:59,034 --> 00:49:02,004
- Everything.
- Really? How un-American.
604
00:49:03,204 --> 00:49:05,438
Well, maybe it was worth it.
605
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,307
I got the call.
606
00:49:07,309 --> 00:49:09,775
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
607
00:49:09,777 --> 00:49:11,344
Got a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
608
00:49:11,346 --> 00:49:13,213
Yes. CTE.
609
00:49:13,215 --> 00:49:15,215
So, what happens now?
610
00:49:15,217 --> 00:49:19,084
We publish. Uh, DeKosky
is going to coauthor.
611
00:49:19,086 --> 00:49:20,487
- DeKosky?
- Yes.
612
00:49:20,489 --> 00:49:25,624
Omalu, DeKosky and Cyril Wecht.
613
00:49:25,626 --> 00:49:27,194
Oh.
614
00:49:28,295 --> 00:49:30,764
Well, I'm very proud of you.
615
00:49:30,766 --> 00:49:33,199
Thank you.
616
00:49:33,201 --> 00:49:35,367
See? The gray's the right color.
617
00:49:35,369 --> 00:49:37,604
The blue shows the dirt, even in the rain.
618
00:49:37,606 --> 00:49:39,808
Here you go.
619
00:49:46,681 --> 00:49:48,648
Let's go, baby!
620
00:49:49,818 --> 00:49:52,117
Come on, get it, get it, get it!
621
00:49:52,119 --> 00:49:55,487
And watch the play-action.
The safeties jump up.
622
00:49:55,489 --> 00:49:57,389
And look at that touch
by Ben Roethlisberger.
623
00:49:57,391 --> 00:50:00,159
And Plaxico Burress
does a great job.
624
00:50:00,161 --> 00:50:00,793
Looked like he tripped...
625
00:50:00,795 --> 00:50:03,530
You may not!
626
00:50:03,532 --> 00:50:06,766
I say not to, but he does.
627
00:50:06,768 --> 00:50:10,670
Roethlisberger scrambling
out of the pocket.
628
00:50:10,672 --> 00:50:13,072
Throwing across the middle! Caught!
629
00:50:13,074 --> 00:50:15,641
Burress at the 45!
630
00:50:17,144 --> 00:50:19,281
And if you don't know, Plaxico!
631
00:50:22,617 --> 00:50:26,755
Yeah. That was a pressure
toss by the rook.
632
00:50:28,722 --> 00:50:30,789
- I'm hearing voices.
- Are you serious?
633
00:50:30,791 --> 00:50:33,126
- They're just talking.
- Stop. Justin, stop. You're scaring me.
634
00:50:33,128 --> 00:50:34,461
You're scaring them.
635
00:50:34,463 --> 00:50:35,528
Look at me!
636
00:50:37,099 --> 00:50:38,530
They're telling me to kill you.
637
00:50:38,532 --> 00:50:40,733
They're telling me to kill you!
638
00:50:43,304 --> 00:50:45,804
Get out! Get out!
639
00:50:45,806 --> 00:50:47,875
Get out!
640
00:50:58,619 --> 00:50:59,686
No!
641
00:51:02,657 --> 00:51:04,590
No!
642
00:51:04,592 --> 00:51:06,159
All units, black pickup
643
00:51:06,161 --> 00:51:07,561
spotted on thruway eight miles...
644
00:51:07,563 --> 00:51:09,862
Okay, I see him. Just
passing me. Where am I?
645
00:51:09,864 --> 00:51:12,764
Reportedly driving into
opposite traffic last 10 miles.
646
00:51:12,766 --> 00:51:14,434
Oh, my God.
647
00:51:14,436 --> 00:51:16,269
Pickup has collided.
648
00:51:16,271 --> 00:51:18,140
All units. Reported collision.
649
00:51:36,557 --> 00:51:39,525
A few months after Steeler
favorite Justin Strzelczyk
650
00:51:39,527 --> 00:51:42,228
was killed in that fiery accident,
651
00:51:42,230 --> 00:51:44,831
yet another Steeler
favorite, Terry Long,
652
00:51:44,833 --> 00:51:47,733
has apparently committed
suicide at the age of 45.
653
00:51:47,735 --> 00:51:49,568
Oh, Terry.
654
00:51:49,570 --> 00:51:52,207
You wonder where they are now? Now we know.
655
00:51:54,476 --> 00:51:56,575
Terry Long, Pittsburgh Steelers.
656
00:51:56,577 --> 00:51:59,778
I guess these guys only
die when you're working.
657
00:51:59,780 --> 00:52:01,380
What other problems did he have?
658
00:52:01,382 --> 00:52:03,282
Arrested a few times.
659
00:52:03,284 --> 00:52:05,918
Fraud, federal theft.
660
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:07,619
Wow, arrested a lot.
661
00:52:07,621 --> 00:52:09,322
I need a full autopsy.
662
00:52:09,324 --> 00:52:10,822
Same tests as Mike Webster.
663
00:52:10,824 --> 00:52:12,458
You're paying for that, too?
664
00:52:12,460 --> 00:52:15,163
Yes, Danny, I'm paying for that, too.
665
00:52:20,335 --> 00:52:22,404
Joseph Maroon.
666
00:53:19,327 --> 00:53:21,029
This is my dream.
667
00:53:24,398 --> 00:53:26,901
The schools are good.
668
00:53:28,369 --> 00:53:30,437
You are good, Prema.
669
00:53:33,907 --> 00:53:36,377
I'm sure you see good in me.
670
00:53:37,746 --> 00:53:41,216
I see all that you are.
671
00:53:43,885 --> 00:53:46,187
I want to marry you.
672
00:53:48,856 --> 00:53:51,125
We can fall in love.
673
00:53:57,965 --> 00:54:01,367
If you want to marry me,
674
00:54:01,369 --> 00:54:04,005
I will marry you.
675
00:54:05,572 --> 00:54:08,508
That is good, because I
already made the down payment.
676
00:54:13,481 --> 00:54:17,953
I saved all my money and
I bought this for you.
677
00:54:57,092 --> 00:54:59,460
Get me Elliot Pellman.
678
00:55:15,076 --> 00:55:17,844
I have Chris Jones for you.
679
00:55:17,846 --> 00:55:19,314
I'm just looking at it.
680
00:55:20,581 --> 00:55:22,749
Anything to be concerned about?
681
00:55:22,751 --> 00:55:25,985
This Omalu, he's a
coroner in Pittsburgh.
682
00:55:25,987 --> 00:55:28,755
He looks like a nobody,
but let me get into it.
683
00:55:28,757 --> 00:55:30,424
All right.
684
00:55:48,576 --> 00:55:51,144
- Hello?
- Is Bennet Omalu there?
685
00:55:51,146 --> 00:55:53,713
Uh, yes, he is.
686
00:55:53,715 --> 00:55:55,548
Okay.
687
00:55:55,550 --> 00:55:57,150
Yes.
688
00:55:57,152 --> 00:55:59,452
I'm a neurologist who's worked
around football for years.
689
00:55:59,454 --> 00:56:02,155
Very familiar with the
NFL's concussion research.
690
00:56:02,157 --> 00:56:03,755
And the League
concluded unequivocally
691
00:56:03,757 --> 00:56:07,126
that football players
do not get brain damage.
692
00:56:07,128 --> 00:56:09,929
Webster is one random
case, Mr. Omalu.
693
00:56:09,931 --> 00:56:11,764
Dr. Omalu.
694
00:56:11,766 --> 00:56:14,867
Well, whatever. You're an uneducated
quack and your career is over.
695
00:56:18,472 --> 00:56:20,539
They said you were uneducated?
696
00:56:20,541 --> 00:56:23,008
Did they even read your resume?
697
00:56:23,010 --> 00:56:25,110
Well, I got calls, too.
698
00:56:25,112 --> 00:56:28,213
Apparently, the National
Football League owns neuroscience.
699
00:56:28,215 --> 00:56:29,816
Who knew?
700
00:56:29,818 --> 00:56:31,650
"Failure to find."
701
00:56:31,652 --> 00:56:34,519
"Absence of clinical information."
702
00:56:34,521 --> 00:56:36,789
- What do they want?
- Your head on a spike.
703
00:56:36,791 --> 00:56:39,025
They want you to retract your findings.
704
00:56:39,027 --> 00:56:41,696
They want you to say you made it all up.
705
00:56:43,465 --> 00:56:46,199
- I made it up?
- They're accusing you of fraud.
706
00:56:46,201 --> 00:56:50,138
If you retract, you'll be
fine. This all goes away.
707
00:56:51,639 --> 00:56:52,771
Why... Why are they doing this?
708
00:56:52,773 --> 00:56:54,740
They're terrified of you.
709
00:56:54,742 --> 00:56:56,876
What did you think they
were gonna say? "Thank you"?
710
00:56:56,878 --> 00:56:58,010
Yes.
711
00:56:58,012 --> 00:56:59,211
What the hell for?
712
00:56:59,213 --> 00:57:00,979
For being told.
713
00:57:00,981 --> 00:57:02,683
For knowing.
714
00:57:03,952 --> 00:57:05,985
Oh, I understand.
715
00:57:05,987 --> 00:57:08,422
You think you're being a good American.
716
00:57:10,891 --> 00:57:15,695
So, the city of Pittsburgh
spent $233 million
717
00:57:15,697 --> 00:57:19,798
to build their glorious
Steelers a new stadium.
718
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:25,104
All the while, they were closing
schools and raising taxes.
719
00:57:25,106 --> 00:57:28,641
These people are not
out to change the world.
720
00:57:28,643 --> 00:57:32,912
And this is not some
quaint academic discovery
721
00:57:32,914 --> 00:57:36,849
stuck in the back of an
obscure medical journal.
722
00:57:36,851 --> 00:57:41,253
Bennet Omalu is going
to war with a corporation
723
00:57:41,255 --> 00:57:46,092
that has 20 million people, on a
weekly basis, craving their product,
724
00:57:46,094 --> 00:57:48,260
the same way they crave food.
725
00:57:49,764 --> 00:57:53,666
The NFL owns a day of the week.
726
00:57:53,668 --> 00:57:56,135
The same day the church used to own.
727
00:57:56,137 --> 00:57:58,170
Now it's theirs.
728
00:57:58,172 --> 00:58:00,408
They're very big.
729
00:58:14,222 --> 00:58:16,324
Terry Long.
730
00:58:18,259 --> 00:58:21,760
The tests came back positive.
731
00:58:21,762 --> 00:58:27,266
Football gave him CTE,
and CTE told his brain
732
00:58:27,268 --> 00:58:31,672
to drink a gallon of
antifreeze, and he died.
733
00:58:32,773 --> 00:58:34,676
I told you there would be more.
734
00:58:35,876 --> 00:58:38,610
You have done great work.
735
00:58:38,612 --> 00:58:41,246
No one would blame you if you stopped now.
736
00:58:41,248 --> 00:58:43,684
Oh, no one is stopping anything.
737
00:58:45,052 --> 00:58:47,186
Then I'd be lying if I didn't tell you
738
00:58:47,188 --> 00:58:49,690
how important your next move is.
739
00:58:57,664 --> 00:59:00,333
By the time Terry Long committed suicide,
740
00:59:00,335 --> 00:59:05,204
his brain had been consumed by
chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
741
00:59:05,206 --> 00:59:09,175
And it is probable,
perhaps even likely,
742
00:59:09,177 --> 00:59:11,276
that a larger percentage of
professional football players
743
00:59:11,278 --> 00:59:13,945
have and will die from CTE.
744
00:59:13,947 --> 00:59:15,780
This was the Pittsburgh
Medical Examiner's
745
00:59:15,782 --> 00:59:18,316
own Dr. Bennet Omalu,
746
00:59:18,318 --> 00:59:21,086
who today threw down the gauntlet at the
feet of the National Football League.
747
00:59:21,088 --> 00:59:22,354
Thank you.
748
00:59:25,793 --> 00:59:27,325
What do you think?
749
00:59:27,327 --> 00:59:29,663
I think you're gonna be an American hero.
750
00:59:30,831 --> 00:59:32,097
I'm not even an American.
751
00:59:32,099 --> 00:59:33,699
That's even better.
752
00:59:33,701 --> 00:59:35,703
That's so fucking American.
753
00:59:40,041 --> 00:59:43,742
"Dr. Maroon, who is also vice-chairman of
754
00:59:43,744 --> 00:59:47,079
"the neurosurgery department at the
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center,
755
00:59:47,081 --> 00:59:53,952
"said of Omalu's CTE diagnosis
that it was fallacious reasoning."
756
01:00:01,128 --> 01:00:02,894
Yes.
757
01:00:02,896 --> 01:00:04,329
Yeah, is this Bennet Omalu?
758
01:00:04,331 --> 01:00:06,731
Dr. Bennet Omalu.
759
01:00:06,733 --> 01:00:10,269
You want to pussify this country?
You want to vaginize football?
760
01:00:10,271 --> 01:00:13,675
Get the hell out. Or they'll
be doing your autopsy.
761
01:01:08,929 --> 01:01:10,396
Dr. Omalu?
762
01:01:10,398 --> 01:01:12,465
Yes.
763
01:01:12,467 --> 01:01:14,200
I took you to be an early riser.
764
01:01:14,202 --> 01:01:15,900
I didn't want to call
you at your office.
765
01:01:15,902 --> 01:01:19,405
This is Julian Bailes.
766
01:01:19,407 --> 01:01:20,940
Do you know who I am?
767
01:01:20,942 --> 01:01:24,142
I know who you are.
768
01:01:24,144 --> 01:01:27,479
Mike Webster was a personal friend.
769
01:01:27,481 --> 01:01:28,947
Was he?
770
01:01:28,949 --> 01:01:30,483
Dr. Omalu.
771
01:01:31,853 --> 01:01:35,253
You're in trouble, but you're not wrong.
772
01:01:35,255 --> 01:01:37,658
I'd like to talk with you.
773
01:02:07,954 --> 01:02:11,322
The NFL has known about this
concussion crisis for years.
774
01:02:11,324 --> 01:02:14,126
And what you have there is the research
775
01:02:14,128 --> 01:02:17,229
that forms the basis for the
League's concussion guidelines.
776
01:02:17,231 --> 01:02:19,398
In this study,
777
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:23,369
some academics put helmets on
monkeys and shook them real hard.
778
01:02:23,371 --> 01:02:28,039
They threw dogs and pigs and human
cadavers down elevator shafts.
779
01:02:28,041 --> 01:02:30,842
Helmets on crash-test dummies
and bashed them together.
780
01:02:30,844 --> 01:02:32,747
And their conclusion?
781
01:02:36,150 --> 01:02:40,119
"No striking player experienced
neck injury or concussion."
782
01:02:40,121 --> 01:02:44,023
So, a concussion's no more
dangerous than a hangnail.
783
01:02:44,025 --> 01:02:46,157
- And that was it?
- Oh, no, no, no.
784
01:02:46,159 --> 01:02:49,094
The NFL did what every organization does.
785
01:02:49,096 --> 01:02:51,563
They put together a
commission to study the study.
786
01:02:51,565 --> 01:02:55,266
Dr. Elliot Pellman's Mild
Traumatic Brain Injury Committee.
787
01:02:55,268 --> 01:02:57,168
You know who else was on that committee?
788
01:02:57,170 --> 01:02:59,371
- Dr. Maroon.
- Joe, yeah, he was on there.
789
01:02:59,373 --> 01:03:03,041
Plus a couple of other team doctors,
790
01:03:03,043 --> 01:03:06,612
an equipment manager and two trainers,
791
01:03:06,614 --> 01:03:08,546
guys who tape knees for a living.
792
01:03:08,548 --> 01:03:10,884
I mean...
793
01:03:22,896 --> 01:03:25,065
Why am I here, Dr. Bailes?
794
01:03:26,199 --> 01:03:30,302
Doctor, I'm not with the Steelers anymore.
795
01:03:30,304 --> 01:03:32,873
I'm not with the NFL.
796
01:03:33,907 --> 01:03:38,244
Now, do you know how many Pittsburgh
Steelers, just Steelers, now,
797
01:03:38,246 --> 01:03:41,347
have died in the last few years?
798
01:03:41,349 --> 01:03:43,215
And I'm not talking about the older guys.
799
01:03:43,217 --> 01:03:44,983
I'm talking about men that I worked with,
800
01:03:44,985 --> 01:03:47,653
and just the ones that I know about.
801
01:03:47,655 --> 01:03:49,757
Twelve.
802
01:03:51,458 --> 01:03:53,492
And I don't want to see
803
01:03:53,494 --> 01:03:57,832
any more of these men vanish
in the back of a pickup truck.
804
01:04:09,409 --> 01:04:11,510
I know them.
805
01:04:11,512 --> 01:04:14,112
I was them.
806
01:04:14,114 --> 01:04:16,081
And I think you're doing this wrong.
807
01:04:16,083 --> 01:04:19,918
As long as the NFL continues to
deny the truth, nothing changes.
808
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:22,054
It's only true if they say it's true.
809
01:04:22,056 --> 01:04:24,690
And they've got to say it out loud.
810
01:04:24,692 --> 01:04:27,092
Get me a meeting with the Commissioner.
811
01:04:27,094 --> 01:04:28,994
I want to sit with him, man to man,
812
01:04:28,996 --> 01:04:31,697
face to face. I will
make him say it out loud.
813
01:04:31,699 --> 01:04:34,499
They don't want to talk to you.
814
01:04:34,501 --> 01:04:38,403
Football does not want to talk to you.
815
01:04:38,405 --> 01:04:40,940
Like my daddy, a Louisiana
judge, always used to say to me,
816
01:04:40,942 --> 01:04:45,510
"Son, God is number one
and football is number two."
817
01:04:47,547 --> 01:04:50,081
Besides, to them you're not even American.
818
01:04:50,083 --> 01:04:52,550
You're not even African-American.
819
01:04:52,552 --> 01:04:54,622
You're...
820
01:04:55,690 --> 01:04:57,155
A doctor?
821
01:05:01,728 --> 01:05:04,630
Okay.
822
01:05:04,632 --> 01:05:06,432
Look.
823
01:05:06,434 --> 01:05:10,001
The League has kept everyone in the dark.
824
01:05:10,003 --> 01:05:13,972
And you turned on the lights and
gave their biggest boogeyman a name.
825
01:05:13,974 --> 01:05:16,175
What's happening now, what you think
826
01:05:16,177 --> 01:05:18,712
they're doing to you, that's nothing.
827
01:05:20,581 --> 01:05:25,717
I've done my own research on
this NFL Brain Injury Committee.
828
01:05:25,719 --> 01:05:28,619
You know what Dr. Elliot Pellman is?
829
01:05:28,621 --> 01:05:30,456
He's a rheumatologist.
830
01:05:30,458 --> 01:05:33,525
He's a specialist in
arthritis and joint pain.
831
01:05:33,527 --> 01:05:36,327
Can you tell me what a rheumatologist
832
01:05:36,329 --> 01:05:38,899
knows about the brain and brain disease?
833
01:05:40,067 --> 01:05:45,637
Corporate men like this, in this
country, usually go to Harvard or Yale.
834
01:05:45,639 --> 01:05:49,708
He went to medical school in Guadalajara.
835
01:05:49,710 --> 01:05:51,342
- Mexico?
- Yes.
836
01:05:51,344 --> 01:05:54,247
I did not know that.
837
01:05:55,583 --> 01:05:57,250
That's beautiful.
838
01:06:01,722 --> 01:06:06,090
Now, two cases does not meet
the scientific burden of proof.
839
01:06:06,092 --> 01:06:07,928
You have to keep going.
840
01:06:09,463 --> 01:06:14,233
Just so you understand, this
does not show up on a CT scan.
841
01:06:14,235 --> 01:06:17,436
Which means there's no
diagnosis before death.
842
01:06:17,438 --> 01:06:21,373
In order for me to keep
going, more have to die.
843
01:06:21,375 --> 01:06:24,210
Unfortunately, that's already happening.
844
01:07:06,820 --> 01:07:08,619
Double D.
845
01:07:08,621 --> 01:07:10,555
Did I hear right? We're losing you?
846
01:07:10,557 --> 01:07:12,691
Tapping you for mayor of Chicago?
847
01:07:12,693 --> 01:07:14,860
Still a long, long road, my friend.
848
01:07:14,862 --> 01:07:19,630
All-world killer athlete to civilian
to king, all in one lifetime.
849
01:07:19,632 --> 01:07:23,267
Ladies and gentlemen, I give
you Mayor Dave Duerson...
850
01:07:23,269 --> 01:07:25,670
...who has figured it out.
851
01:07:30,143 --> 01:07:31,342
- Dave!
- Yeah.
852
01:07:31,344 --> 01:07:33,512
It's me, man. Andre Waters.
853
01:07:33,514 --> 01:07:35,313
How you doing, man?
854
01:07:35,315 --> 01:07:37,218
Look, let me walk with you.
855
01:07:38,652 --> 01:07:41,720
This is not good, Dave, not
good. It's in the paperwork.
856
01:07:41,722 --> 01:07:44,822
But, um, why is the
committee doing this, man?
857
01:07:44,824 --> 01:07:47,291
There are five other
trustees. You talk to them?
858
01:07:47,293 --> 01:07:48,793
You're the only one who played, man.
859
01:07:48,795 --> 01:07:50,729
You the only one who
knows what it is to be us.
860
01:07:50,731 --> 01:07:53,865
Hey, hey, hey. You and me,
we were the same, man, huh?
861
01:07:53,867 --> 01:07:55,601
We were bangers, hitmen.
862
01:07:55,603 --> 01:07:58,403
File the appeal.
863
01:07:58,405 --> 01:08:01,373
You denied the appeal, Dave! Look,
something's wrong with me, man.
864
01:08:01,375 --> 01:08:02,740
I can't sleep. Okay...
865
01:08:02,742 --> 01:08:05,244
I mean, my eyes get crossed.
It just weirds me out.
866
01:08:05,246 --> 01:08:07,311
- Hey, hey! Look at me!
- Jesus!
867
01:08:07,313 --> 01:08:09,514
Look. Twelve years I paid my dues.
868
01:08:09,516 --> 01:08:11,450
I made millions for those assholes.
869
01:08:11,452 --> 01:08:13,619
I mean, come on. It's
not even your money, man.
870
01:08:13,621 --> 01:08:16,755
I'm just asking back what I gave!
871
01:08:16,757 --> 01:08:20,291
Listen. Fat? Stop eating like a
pig. Got a headache? See a doctor.
872
01:08:20,293 --> 01:08:23,695
I've seen 20 doctors!
I just need rent money.
873
01:08:23,697 --> 01:08:26,397
Get your shit together!
874
01:08:26,399 --> 01:08:28,400
You used to be a warrior.
875
01:08:28,402 --> 01:08:30,902
- You fucking sellout.
- Get your hands off me!
876
01:08:30,904 --> 01:08:33,237
I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
Dave. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
877
01:08:33,239 --> 01:08:34,873
Look, hey, hey, hey.
878
01:08:34,875 --> 01:08:38,242
Remember when we were kids?
Remember when we were kids?
879
01:08:38,244 --> 01:08:41,213
Playing's what we lived for. Huh?
880
01:08:41,215 --> 01:08:44,251
I need your help. I need your help, Dave.
881
01:08:47,787 --> 01:08:49,956
Dave, help me!
882
01:09:00,667 --> 01:09:03,402
"Andre Waters, known as 'Dirty Waters, '
883
01:09:03,404 --> 01:09:05,870
"notorious for his aggressive style of play
884
01:09:05,872 --> 01:09:10,442
"and devastating hits that
filled highlight reels.
885
01:09:10,444 --> 01:09:13,844
"Waters died of a self-inflicted
gunshot wound to the head.
886
01:09:13,846 --> 01:09:16,082
"He was 44."
887
01:09:20,820 --> 01:09:27,893
And, uh, this is the part
where he, uh, got knocked out.
888
01:09:27,895 --> 01:09:30,795
Andre Waters has
it. We'll be back...
889
01:09:30,797 --> 01:09:33,298
He said he was all right.
890
01:09:33,300 --> 01:09:37,171
Said he was just a little dazed,
but he said he was all right.
891
01:09:39,974 --> 01:09:42,176
You look well.
892
01:09:43,777 --> 01:09:44,843
How are the kids?
893
01:09:44,845 --> 01:09:46,447
Kids are fine.
894
01:09:47,581 --> 01:09:49,283
I'm fine.
895
01:09:52,286 --> 01:09:54,955
I'm sorry I couldn't
make it to the funeral.
896
01:09:56,323 --> 01:09:59,891
No one made it to the funeral.
897
01:09:59,893 --> 01:10:01,994
He was the sun.
898
01:10:01,996 --> 01:10:05,696
We was the planets.
899
01:10:05,698 --> 01:10:10,370
And then, after he gave
me this card, he said, "Ma,
900
01:10:14,875 --> 01:10:17,608
"I'm ready to go."
901
01:10:17,610 --> 01:10:21,946
Because he knew people
was thinking he was crazy.
902
01:10:21,948 --> 01:10:24,883
Not crazy.
903
01:10:24,885 --> 01:10:28,286
He'd already become someone else.
904
01:10:28,288 --> 01:10:32,391
You definitely think he had this disease?
905
01:10:32,393 --> 01:10:35,027
Because I want to believe that.
906
01:10:35,029 --> 01:10:37,331
I believe so, yes.
907
01:10:38,532 --> 01:10:43,002
And now you want what's left of my boy.
908
01:10:45,038 --> 01:10:47,107
You heard about Mike Webster?
909
01:10:49,810 --> 01:10:52,576
And Terry Long and...
910
01:10:52,578 --> 01:10:53,911
And...
911
01:10:53,913 --> 01:10:56,049
And who else?
912
01:10:59,853 --> 01:11:03,189
What do you really want to ask me, Julian?
913
01:11:30,751 --> 01:11:34,288
Dr. Cyril Wecht, Dr. Julian Bailes.
914
01:11:35,555 --> 01:11:37,390
- Pleasure to meet you.
- Mmm-hmm.
915
01:11:42,796 --> 01:11:44,998
Andre Waters.
916
01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:55,441
Justin Strzelczyk.
917
01:12:08,421 --> 01:12:10,755
I just kept sending them back out there.
918
01:12:10,757 --> 01:12:14,058
What the hell were you thinking?
919
01:12:14,060 --> 01:12:15,893
You've got to be a part of it.
920
01:12:15,895 --> 01:12:20,699
You've got to be on the
sidelines with them to understand.
921
01:12:20,701 --> 01:12:24,769
Whatever it takes to keep them in the
game, to keep the whole thing going.
922
01:12:24,771 --> 01:12:29,141
Tape, needles, Vicodin, Toradol, Lidocaine,
923
01:12:29,143 --> 01:12:32,613
Percocet, Lexapro, Zoloft.
924
01:12:34,515 --> 01:12:36,615
- Have I left anything out?
- Mmm.
925
01:12:36,617 --> 01:12:39,084
It's tires and oil.
926
01:12:39,086 --> 01:12:41,786
Just mechanics trying to keep
the cars on the racetrack.
927
01:12:41,788 --> 01:12:45,891
Yeah, well, it's not medicine.
I don't know what it is.
928
01:12:45,893 --> 01:12:48,994
It's business.
929
01:12:48,996 --> 01:12:50,495
Oh.
930
01:12:50,497 --> 01:12:52,930
- There you go.
- Okay, okay.
931
01:12:52,932 --> 01:12:56,634
Three cases is the
scientific burden of evidence.
932
01:12:56,636 --> 01:12:58,570
We have four.
933
01:12:58,572 --> 01:13:01,639
That is far beyond anything
the NFL can or cannot deny.
934
01:13:01,641 --> 01:13:04,776
This is bigger than they are.
935
01:13:04,778 --> 01:13:08,082
They have to listen to us now.
936
01:13:25,698 --> 01:13:27,598
Dr. Maroon.
937
01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:29,968
- Would you like a drink?
- I said five minutes.
938
01:13:29,970 --> 01:13:32,137
He doesn't want a drink.
939
01:13:32,139 --> 01:13:35,706
Your conclusions totally
misrepresent the facts.
940
01:13:35,708 --> 01:13:39,076
To say that Webster and Long and
Waters were killed by football is...
941
01:13:39,078 --> 01:13:41,979
Is fallacious reasoning.
942
01:13:41,981 --> 01:13:45,083
Yes, I know.
943
01:13:45,085 --> 01:13:47,552
Where's he going with this?
944
01:13:47,554 --> 01:13:50,155
Just hear him out.
945
01:13:50,157 --> 01:13:53,924
I would like to propose
a formal, controlled study
946
01:13:53,926 --> 01:13:57,795
of former and current NFL football players.
947
01:13:57,797 --> 01:14:00,531
We will bring together the greatest minds
948
01:14:00,533 --> 01:14:02,701
in America to solve the problem.
949
01:14:02,703 --> 01:14:04,505
We should be working together.
950
01:14:06,273 --> 01:14:09,907
Who do you think you're talking to?
951
01:14:09,909 --> 01:14:11,210
Excuse me?
952
01:14:11,212 --> 01:14:15,112
I was the President of the
Congress of Neurological Surgeons.
953
01:14:15,114 --> 01:14:18,250
And I was the man who
performed the autopsies
954
01:14:18,252 --> 01:14:21,852
on Mike Webster, Terry Long.
955
01:14:21,854 --> 01:14:24,522
Your men.
956
01:14:24,524 --> 01:14:26,727
Men under your care.
957
01:14:29,095 --> 01:14:31,929
Do you know what Mike Webster's wife said?
958
01:14:31,931 --> 01:14:36,736
She said that if she had
known that Mike was sick,
959
01:14:38,305 --> 01:14:41,275
she would have done more for him.
960
01:14:43,243 --> 01:14:48,045
But he died in disgrace.
961
01:14:48,047 --> 01:14:49,616
Your man.
962
01:14:51,083 --> 01:14:53,151
Your man.
963
01:14:53,153 --> 01:14:55,954
You took an oath.
964
01:14:55,956 --> 01:14:57,888
- Tell the truth.
- The truth?
965
01:14:57,890 --> 01:15:00,959
- Tell the truth!
- The truth is
966
01:15:00,961 --> 01:15:05,465
that the NFL is a blessing
and a salvation, my friend.
967
01:15:06,966 --> 01:15:10,000
We employ hundreds of thousands of people.
968
01:15:10,002 --> 01:15:14,071
We send thousands and thousands
of poor kids to school.
969
01:15:14,073 --> 01:15:16,775
The ownership of this football club
970
01:15:16,777 --> 01:15:20,611
has donated millions of
dollars to countless charities.
971
01:15:20,613 --> 01:15:22,046
Do you want me to go on?
972
01:15:22,048 --> 01:15:23,581
That won't be necessary.
973
01:15:23,583 --> 01:15:25,916
Oh, it is necessary.
974
01:15:25,918 --> 01:15:30,254
Football is the most
popular sport in America
975
01:15:30,256 --> 01:15:33,325
because it is so goddamn fantastic!
976
01:15:36,796 --> 01:15:39,365
And that, right there?
977
01:15:40,634 --> 01:15:44,835
That is the beating heart of this city.
978
01:15:44,837 --> 01:15:47,071
And you want to, what, end it?
979
01:15:47,073 --> 01:15:51,343
You want to fold up the
National Football League?
980
01:15:51,345 --> 01:15:53,644
I want to solve the problem.
981
01:15:53,646 --> 01:15:55,679
Who are you?
982
01:15:55,681 --> 01:15:56,947
What are you asking?
983
01:15:56,949 --> 01:15:58,817
You're a pathologist.
984
01:15:58,819 --> 01:16:00,718
You perform autopsies.
985
01:16:00,720 --> 01:16:02,219
Yes, I am a mere pathologist.
986
01:16:02,221 --> 01:16:04,690
That's it. That's all I am.
987
01:16:09,630 --> 01:16:12,363
Wow.
988
01:16:12,365 --> 01:16:15,700
Do you have any idea of the
impact of what you're doing?
989
01:16:15,702 --> 01:16:16,901
Yes, I do.
990
01:16:16,903 --> 01:16:18,335
Do you understand the impact
991
01:16:18,337 --> 01:16:20,371
of what you are doing?
992
01:16:20,373 --> 01:16:24,174
If just 10% of the mothers in America
993
01:16:24,176 --> 01:16:26,977
decide that football is too
dangerous for their sons to play,
994
01:16:26,979 --> 01:16:30,815
that is it. It is the end of football.
995
01:16:30,817 --> 01:16:33,418
Kids, colleges, and eventually, it's just
996
01:16:33,420 --> 01:16:36,254
a matter of time, the professional game.
997
01:16:36,256 --> 01:16:39,758
Joe, he does autopsies. He's
not in the outcome business.
998
01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:41,992
He has no business.
999
01:16:41,994 --> 01:16:45,863
Do you know what history does to people,
1000
01:16:45,865 --> 01:16:48,133
trained physicians,
1001
01:16:48,135 --> 01:16:50,268
- who ignore science?
- Oh, wow.
1002
01:16:50,270 --> 01:16:52,370
Sir, I am not done!
1003
01:16:52,372 --> 01:16:54,574
History laughs.
1004
01:16:55,908 --> 01:16:58,942
If you continue to deny my work,
1005
01:16:58,944 --> 01:17:01,614
the world will deny my work.
1006
01:17:03,050 --> 01:17:06,920
But men, your men,
1007
01:17:08,087 --> 01:17:12,459
continue to die, their
families left in ruins.
1008
01:17:15,729 --> 01:17:17,730
Tell the truth.
1009
01:17:19,298 --> 01:17:21,468
Tell the truth.
1010
01:17:32,345 --> 01:17:36,281
You sure... You sure you want to do this?
1011
01:17:36,283 --> 01:17:39,820
I would ask you that
same question, Dr. Maroon.
1012
01:17:43,957 --> 01:17:47,494
Oh, your study, I'll get back to you.
1013
01:17:59,939 --> 01:18:02,408
Well, that went well.
1014
01:18:42,282 --> 01:18:46,553
When I was a boy growing up in Nigeria,
1015
01:18:49,855 --> 01:18:55,995
heaven was here and America was here.
1016
01:18:58,864 --> 01:19:03,469
To me, it was the place where God
sent all of His favorite people.
1017
01:19:05,372 --> 01:19:08,708
You could be anything,
you could do anything.
1018
01:19:10,277 --> 01:19:12,977
Americans were the manifestation
1019
01:19:12,979 --> 01:19:15,515
of what God wanted us all to be.
1020
01:19:20,020 --> 01:19:24,421
I have never wanted anything
1021
01:19:24,423 --> 01:19:27,993
as much as I wanted to be
accepted as an American.
1022
01:19:34,033 --> 01:19:39,038
But Mike Webster goes
mad and nobody asks why.
1023
01:19:41,106 --> 01:19:43,340
They make fun of him.
1024
01:19:43,342 --> 01:19:45,943
They insult him on TV.
1025
01:19:45,945 --> 01:19:48,612
And now they want to pretend
that his disease does not exist.
1026
01:19:48,614 --> 01:19:51,617
And they want to bury me.
1027
01:19:54,554 --> 01:19:56,756
It's offensive.
1028
01:19:58,324 --> 01:20:00,893
I am offended.
1029
01:20:06,198 --> 01:20:10,535
I am the wrong person
to have discovered this.
1030
01:20:14,039 --> 01:20:17,743
There is no coincidence in this world.
1031
01:20:19,645 --> 01:20:22,347
Tell me,
1032
01:20:22,349 --> 01:20:28,085
what is the statistical probability
that you, not just a doctor,
1033
01:20:28,087 --> 01:20:33,156
but Bennet Omalu, came to America,
1034
01:20:33,158 --> 01:20:36,361
ended up here in this rusty place
1035
01:20:36,363 --> 01:20:40,600
for you alone to be the one to see this?
1036
01:20:47,506 --> 01:20:50,142
When I arrived in New York,
1037
01:20:51,511 --> 01:20:53,644
I was attacked.
1038
01:20:53,646 --> 01:20:55,345
What happened?
1039
01:20:55,347 --> 01:20:58,585
Something that is better left unsaid.
1040
01:21:00,052 --> 01:21:03,989
But that man almost broke me.
1041
01:21:05,926 --> 01:21:09,829
I wanted to give up and go back.
1042
01:21:13,265 --> 01:21:15,768
But I knew God.
1043
01:21:17,136 --> 01:21:22,741
I decided to trust His wisdom and I stayed.
1044
01:21:25,110 --> 01:21:29,647
And now I am looking at this man,
1045
01:21:29,649 --> 01:21:33,116
an Omalu Onyemalukwube.
1046
01:21:33,118 --> 01:21:38,089
Your name, it means, "If you know,
1047
01:21:38,091 --> 01:21:40,794
"you must come forth and speak."
1048
01:21:42,561 --> 01:21:44,528
How did you know that?
1049
01:21:44,530 --> 01:21:46,363
I called your father.
1050
01:21:46,365 --> 01:21:48,098
He was pleased to hear from me.
1051
01:21:48,100 --> 01:21:51,302
Yes, I am sure he was.
1052
01:21:51,304 --> 01:21:54,908
If you don't speak for the dead, who will?
1053
01:21:56,676 --> 01:21:59,643
You are of the Igbo tribe, Bennet.
1054
01:21:59,645 --> 01:22:02,179
When you have truth,
1055
01:22:02,181 --> 01:22:03,447
the thing you are told you cannot do
1056
01:22:03,449 --> 01:22:05,983
is the thing you must do.
1057
01:22:05,985 --> 01:22:08,318
Embrace that
1058
01:22:08,320 --> 01:22:12,625
and nothing created by
man can bring you down.
1059
01:22:19,064 --> 01:22:22,733
Omalu's gone to the
press now. Listen to this.
1060
01:22:22,735 --> 01:22:25,068
"After examining the remains
1061
01:22:25,070 --> 01:22:27,772
"of former National Football
League player Andre Waters,
1062
01:22:27,774 --> 01:22:32,175
"a neuropathologist in Pittsburgh,
Dr. Bennet Omalu, is claiming
1063
01:22:32,177 --> 01:22:34,245
"that Mr. Waters had sustained brain damage
1064
01:22:34,247 --> 01:22:36,546
"from playing football, and he says
1065
01:22:36,548 --> 01:22:41,085
"that led to his depression
and ultimate death."
1066
01:22:41,087 --> 01:22:43,687
It gets worse.
1067
01:22:43,689 --> 01:22:45,690
"Dr. Julian Bailes, medical director
1068
01:22:45,692 --> 01:22:48,092
"for the Center for the
Study of Retired Athletes
1069

"Neurosurgery of West Virginia University,
1071
01:22:52,097 --> 01:22:55,366
"said, 'Unfortunately, I'm not shocked.'"
1072
01:22:55,368 --> 01:22:58,135
There's more Omalu and more Bailes.
1073
01:22:58,137 --> 01:23:00,772
Bailes. Why do I know that name?
1074
01:23:00,774 --> 01:23:04,541
Steelers team doctor. Neurologist
for the Players Association.
1075
01:23:07,212 --> 01:23:09,513
- Wow.
- Yeah, wow.
1076
01:23:09,515 --> 01:23:12,583
The Times is calling
it a potential epidemic.
1077
01:23:12,585 --> 01:23:14,220
Paul.
1078
01:23:15,488 --> 01:23:19,156
It's not the Sports section, not Science.
1079
01:23:19,158 --> 01:23:23,896
It's A-1, front page
New York Times.
1080
01:23:27,466 --> 01:23:29,134
Apparently, the Commissioner
1081
01:23:29,136 --> 01:23:32,335
has been yearning for years to
go back to his litigator roots.
1082
01:23:32,337 --> 01:23:35,705
Paul Tagliabue announced
that he would retire in July
1083
01:23:35,707 --> 01:23:38,342
after nearly 17 years.
1084
01:23:38,344 --> 01:23:40,544
...comprised the most lucrative
1085
01:23:40,546 --> 01:23:43,680
and stabilizing reign
perhaps in the history.
1086
01:23:43,682 --> 01:23:46,384
At the NFL owners meeting in
Illinois, Roger Goodell...
1087
01:23:46,386 --> 01:23:49,553
There's a new sheriff in town.
His name is Roger Goodell.
1088
01:23:49,555 --> 01:23:51,822
Each day seems to bring a
fresh round of tributes.
1089
01:23:51,824 --> 01:23:54,558
What I'm here to do now
is protect the shield.
1090
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:58,295
The NFL isn't just a sports league.
1091
01:23:58,297 --> 01:23:59,830
It's an entertainment product.
1092
01:23:59,832 --> 01:24:02,299
America's game.
1093
01:24:02,301 --> 01:24:04,335
I want us to go on
enjoying our great game...
1094
01:24:04,337 --> 01:24:05,803
Allegheny County Coroner.
1095
01:24:05,805 --> 01:24:08,873
Sure, one second.
1096
01:24:08,875 --> 01:24:11,209
- It's Dr. Julian Bailes.
- Yes, yeah.
1097
01:24:11,211 --> 01:24:13,844
Here he is.
1098
01:24:13,846 --> 01:24:15,178
Julian.
1099
01:24:15,180 --> 01:24:16,580
Hey, turn on the TV.
1100
01:24:16,582 --> 01:24:18,250
Yes, I'm watching.
1101
01:24:18,252 --> 01:24:22,452
You asked for a face-to-face with
the Commissioner? Man to man?
1102
01:24:22,454 --> 01:24:26,590
Goodell and the NFL are asking
for a concussion summit.
1103
01:24:26,592 --> 01:24:30,894
A full presentation
in Chicago next week.
1104
01:24:30,896 --> 01:24:33,330
They heard you.
1105
01:24:33,332 --> 01:24:35,234
You have your shot.
1106
01:24:36,469 --> 01:24:38,138
Julian.
1107
01:24:52,351 --> 01:24:54,652
Why don't you throw in some football stuff?
1108
01:24:54,654 --> 01:24:56,786
Some non-medical terms?
1109
01:24:56,788 --> 01:24:59,357
Things we'd say.
1110
01:24:59,359 --> 01:25:02,162
Why do I need to say things they'd say?
1111
01:25:03,262 --> 01:25:05,530
I thought I was here for the other reason.
1112
01:25:05,532 --> 01:25:06,930
No.
1113
01:25:06,932 --> 01:25:09,333
You have what, seven, eight degrees?
1114
01:25:09,335 --> 01:25:10,601
You're one of the smartest people
1115
01:25:10,603 --> 01:25:14,504
they'll ever meet. You... Well...
1116
01:25:14,506 --> 01:25:16,507
You know what?
1117
01:25:16,509 --> 01:25:18,845
You're gonna be fine.
1118
01:25:27,686 --> 01:25:29,922
How about you?
1119
01:25:31,224 --> 01:25:33,193
How will you be?
1120
01:25:37,630 --> 01:25:44,201
You know, it is a mindless, violent
game and then it's Shakespeare.
1121
01:25:44,203 --> 01:25:46,236
I mean, to me it's
like life that way.
1122
01:25:46,238 --> 01:25:49,906
And I know you can't
see how exciting
1123
01:25:49,908 --> 01:25:53,979
and beautiful all that
is, and I don't blame you.
1124
01:25:55,247 --> 01:26:00,419
But what I'm trying to tell
you is this is not fun for me.
1125
01:26:01,954 --> 01:26:03,653
All of the people we're going to
1126
01:26:03,655 --> 01:26:05,289
see tomorrow, I know them personally.
1127
01:26:05,291 --> 01:26:06,924
And that feeling you have
1128
01:26:06,926 --> 01:26:11,998
when someone you love and
admire screws you over?
1129
01:26:14,667 --> 01:26:17,403
They're going to have that feeling.
1130
01:26:19,271 --> 01:26:21,273
Because of me.
1131
01:26:22,507 --> 01:26:25,377
And there is not a damn
thing I can do about it.
1132
01:26:45,597 --> 01:26:46,731
Hey.
1133
01:26:46,733 --> 01:26:48,398
We have to talk.
1134
01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:50,236
What's wrong?
1135
01:26:52,805 --> 01:26:56,339
There's no easy way to say this,
so I'm just going to say it.
1136
01:26:56,341 --> 01:26:58,310
They're not gonna let you speak.
1137
01:26:59,578 --> 01:27:01,611
What?
1138
01:27:01,613 --> 01:27:04,182
They don't even want you in the room.
1139
01:27:06,351 --> 01:27:08,187
They want me to do it.
1140
01:27:10,590 --> 01:27:12,757
- One of their own.
- One of their own.
1141
01:27:12,759 --> 01:27:13,657
So, they want to pretend...
1142
01:27:13,659 --> 01:27:15,826
That you don't even exist, that's right.
1143
01:27:15,828 --> 01:27:17,727
Okay. Yeah.
1144
01:27:17,729 --> 01:27:20,330
- They still have to sit and listen.
- To you.
1145
01:27:20,332 --> 01:27:22,666
Yes. You blew up their whole world.
1146
01:27:22,668 --> 01:27:24,035
And yours, Julian.
1147
01:27:24,037 --> 01:27:26,736
Yes. Mine.
1148
01:27:26,738 --> 01:27:32,876
Because how can it be possible
that some African voodoo doctor
1149
01:27:32,878 --> 01:27:36,513
could understand this
subject better than them?
1150
01:27:36,515 --> 01:27:39,817
Or even better than you?
1151
01:27:39,819 --> 01:27:42,952
Wait a second. You think
this is about Bennet Omalu?
1152
01:27:42,954 --> 01:27:45,955
I'm not here because of you. I'm
here because people are dying.
1153
01:27:45,957 --> 01:27:47,924
You are here for redemption.
1154
01:27:47,926 --> 01:27:51,363
You are here to use me
to cleanse your sins.
1155
01:27:52,965 --> 01:27:56,400
You self-righteous bastard.
1156
01:27:56,402 --> 01:28:00,403
Do you have any idea what I
could have, how much I could have
1157
01:28:00,405 --> 01:28:05,111
if I went back to my side of the
ball and just kept my mouth shut?
1158
01:28:06,612 --> 01:28:08,379
Everything in my world is telling me
1159
01:28:08,381 --> 01:28:11,014
not to agree with you, except one.
1160
01:28:11,016 --> 01:28:13,351
Science.
1161
01:28:13,353 --> 01:28:16,053
So, here I am.
1162
01:28:16,055 --> 01:28:20,560
Up here, beside you. Not down
there in that audience with them.
1163
01:28:22,395 --> 01:28:26,032
What more can I do to prove myself to you?
1164
01:28:54,694 --> 01:28:56,562
I am sorry.
1165
01:28:58,497 --> 01:29:01,066
Convince them, Julian.
1166
01:29:17,649 --> 01:29:20,017
You know, my father can't
remember a goddamn thing.
1167
01:29:20,019 --> 01:29:22,152
He never played a day of football.
1168
01:29:22,154 --> 01:29:25,156
He was too busy working
in a factory, you quack!
1169
01:29:25,158 --> 01:29:27,057
I beg your pardon?
1170
01:29:27,059 --> 01:29:29,960
You take your bullshit
science, go back to Africa.
1171
01:29:29,962 --> 01:29:31,597
And get away from our game!
1172
01:29:34,934 --> 01:29:36,767
What happened?
1173
01:29:36,769 --> 01:29:38,936
Roger Goodell just said that
1174
01:29:38,938 --> 01:29:42,906
Justin Strzelczyk may have
gotten his concussion swimming.
1175
01:29:42,908 --> 01:29:44,174
In a swimming pool.
1176
01:29:44,176 --> 01:29:45,776
That's insanity.
1177
01:29:45,778 --> 01:29:48,111
This whole thing was staged.
1178
01:29:48,113 --> 01:29:50,848
They needed to say that they heard
us so they could goddamn bury us.
1179
01:29:50,850 --> 01:29:53,550
The science means nothing to them.
1180
01:29:53,552 --> 01:29:54,919
This is an important day
1181
01:29:54,921 --> 01:29:56,786
in the National Football League.
1182
01:29:56,788 --> 01:29:59,156
We've had some very good dialogue
1183
01:29:59,158 --> 01:30:03,227
which will help us improve
the care for our players.
1184
01:30:03,229 --> 01:30:05,196
What do you think
when you hear about
1185
01:30:05,198 --> 01:30:08,098
former NFL players
suffering from symptoms
1186
01:30:08,100 --> 01:30:09,700
that has only been seen in boxers
1187
01:30:09,702 --> 01:30:11,869
and people at over 80 years old?
1188
01:30:11,871 --> 01:30:14,804
I mean, what does that say about the
effect of concussions on players?
1189
01:30:14,806 --> 01:30:16,173
I'm not a doctor here,
1190
01:30:16,175 --> 01:30:19,910
but you have to look at
their entire medical history.
1191
01:30:19,912 --> 01:30:23,080
This is an evolving
science. And that's okay.
1192
01:30:23,082 --> 01:30:25,883
While I agree with the Commissioner,
1193
01:30:25,885 --> 01:30:30,653
no empirically determined
proof was presented today.
1194
01:30:30,655 --> 01:30:33,490
Because there simply isn't any.
1195
01:30:33,492 --> 01:30:36,494
Because according to
the NFL's own numbers,
1196
01:30:36,496 --> 01:30:38,562
half of all players with concussions
1197
01:30:38,564 --> 01:30:41,165
are sent back into the same game,
1198
01:30:41,167 --> 01:30:44,504
including some who were
actually knocked out cold.
1199
01:30:45,704 --> 01:30:48,104
Ira Casson was head of the team of
1200
01:30:48,106 --> 01:30:50,708
NFL doctors who had
looked into the issue
1201
01:30:50,710 --> 01:30:52,843
and determined that the concern
1202
01:30:52,845 --> 01:30:55,211
over head injuries was overblown.
1203
01:30:55,213 --> 01:30:58,516
Is there any evidence, as
far as you're concerned,
1204
01:30:58,518 --> 01:31:00,584
that links multiple head injuries
1205
01:31:00,586 --> 01:31:03,187
among pro football
players with depression?
1206
01:31:03,189 --> 01:31:04,588
No.
1207
01:31:04,590 --> 01:31:05,990
With dementia?
1208
01:31:05,992 --> 01:31:07,590
No.
1209
01:31:07,592 --> 01:31:09,527
With early onset of Alzheimer's?
1210
01:31:09,529 --> 01:31:10,995
No.
1211
01:31:10,997 --> 01:31:14,665
Is there any evidence
as of today that links
1212
01:31:14,667 --> 01:31:18,869
multiple head injuries with any
long-term problem like that?
1213
01:31:18,871 --> 01:31:21,274
- In NFL players? No.
- Yeah.
1214
01:31:49,034 --> 01:31:51,237
Hey, little one.
1215
01:31:52,637 --> 01:31:54,706
This is your father.
1216
01:31:58,176 --> 01:32:01,246
I am in deep shit.
1217
01:32:05,150 --> 01:32:07,786
I have not done anything wrong,
1218
01:32:09,721 --> 01:32:12,424
but I am being punished.
1219
01:32:18,597 --> 01:32:22,635
It might not be so nice
when you get out here.
1220
01:32:26,204 --> 01:32:28,808
You are still with God.
1221
01:32:30,810 --> 01:32:34,247
Please ask Him to help me.
1222
01:33:05,176 --> 01:33:07,647
It's all right. It's okay.
1223
01:33:14,052 --> 01:33:17,220
- What is this?
- This is the FBI.
1224
01:33:17,222 --> 01:33:19,822
Apparently, I'm being
relieved of my duties.
1225
01:33:19,824 --> 01:33:21,724
What? I don't understand.
1226
01:33:21,726 --> 01:33:23,160
Dr. Wecht has been indicted
1227
01:33:23,162 --> 01:33:25,361
on 84 federal counts, including...
1228
01:33:25,363 --> 01:33:29,032
Please, please, Tex. Let me at
least have the joy of telling him.
1229
01:33:29,034 --> 01:33:32,236
I'm being indicted on 84 federal counts,
1230
01:33:32,238 --> 01:33:34,838
including mail fraud, wire fraud,
1231
01:33:34,840 --> 01:33:38,174
other related offenses, arising out of
1232
01:33:38,176 --> 01:33:42,879
my use of government resources
to advance my private practice.
1233
01:33:42,881 --> 01:33:47,284
Including, but not limited
to, uh, mileage vouchers,
1234
01:33:47,286 --> 01:33:52,724
misuse of office stationery and
my personal use of the fax machine.
1235
01:33:54,426 --> 01:33:56,192
- Faxes?
- Yeah.
1236
01:33:56,194 --> 01:33:58,594
They could not come up with
something this stupid in Nigeria.
1237
01:33:59,931 --> 01:34:02,500
This man has been a
public servant for decades.
1238
01:34:04,436 --> 01:34:06,803
Cyril.
1239
01:34:06,805 --> 01:34:10,007
Have you ever performed any
private services on county time?
1240
01:34:10,009 --> 01:34:12,041
- Have I?
- Whoa!
1241
01:34:12,043 --> 01:34:14,844
Apparently, we've both hurt
the government's feelings.
1242
01:34:16,282 --> 01:34:20,284
Are you referring to the death row
case where I used my personal time?
1243
01:34:20,286 --> 01:34:24,187
We don't want you, Dr.
Omalu, but we can have you.
1244
01:34:24,189 --> 01:34:25,856
And what does that mean?
1245
01:34:25,858 --> 01:34:27,626
That means they want your testimony.
1246
01:34:29,895 --> 01:34:33,263
- Against you?
- Yes.
1247
01:34:33,265 --> 01:34:36,099
I... I understand.
1248
01:34:36,101 --> 01:34:39,803
You are attacking him to get to me.
1249
01:34:39,805 --> 01:34:42,071
I know.
1250
01:34:42,073 --> 01:34:45,209
This is because his name is on my research.
1251
01:34:45,211 --> 01:34:46,442
What research is that?
1252
01:34:48,447 --> 01:34:50,481
No. I will resign first.
1253
01:34:50,483 --> 01:34:53,951
In which case, your immigration
status will be revised
1254
01:34:53,953 --> 01:34:57,353
since your status requires
full-time employment.
1255
01:34:57,355 --> 01:35:00,324
Then I will get another
job in another city.
1256
01:35:00,326 --> 01:35:01,791
That would be fine.
1257
01:35:01,793 --> 01:35:03,895
That would be fine.
1258
01:35:12,872 --> 01:35:14,739
Bennet.
1259
01:35:25,984 --> 01:35:30,353
All I asked is that if you did
this, we both came out okay.
1260
01:35:30,355 --> 01:35:32,491
Not professional ruination.
1261
01:35:35,528 --> 01:35:37,393
Whoever...
1262
01:35:37,395 --> 01:35:40,433
Whatever takes over for me,
1263
01:35:42,268 --> 01:35:45,703
they're going to want the CTE
information, you know that.
1264
01:35:46,939 --> 01:35:49,071
What if they show up here with a warrant?
1265
01:35:49,073 --> 01:35:51,241
On suspicion of what? Science?
1266
01:35:51,243 --> 01:35:55,245
Ah, suspicion of bullshit. We got screwed.
1267
01:35:55,247 --> 01:35:58,248
You didn't deserve it.
1268
01:35:58,250 --> 01:36:01,585
You know the worst part? How easy it was.
1269
01:36:01,587 --> 01:36:06,557
Cyril, they are not going to
make me say one word against you.
1270
01:36:06,559 --> 01:36:08,892
What are you gonna say?
1271
01:36:08,894 --> 01:36:12,396
Cyril Wecht's a loudmouth asshole?
1272
01:36:12,398 --> 01:36:15,365
I don't care. I'm tired.
1273
01:36:15,367 --> 01:36:17,502
My balls are low.
1274
01:36:24,376 --> 01:36:27,011
I didn't do good enough by you.
1275
01:36:29,180 --> 01:36:30,882
Cyril, um...
1276
01:36:32,952 --> 01:36:35,621
I cannot go back to Nigeria.
1277
01:36:37,323 --> 01:36:40,593
Everything that I am is here.
1278
01:36:42,161 --> 01:36:46,062
My child has got to be born in America.
1279
01:36:47,365 --> 01:36:49,066
Don't worry.
1280
01:36:49,068 --> 01:36:51,468
I'll get you a job.
1281
01:36:51,470 --> 01:36:54,303
Hey, you can work with
me in the prison laundry.
1282
01:37:00,011 --> 01:37:02,144
Call the surgeon.
1283
01:37:02,146 --> 01:37:04,582
We need a goddamn drink.
1284
01:38:02,140 --> 01:38:04,641
I solved the problem.
1285
01:38:04,643 --> 01:38:06,710
All they have to do is put
on the side of the helmet,
1286
01:38:06,712 --> 01:38:09,312
"The Surgeon General has determined that
1287
01:38:09,314 --> 01:38:11,481
"playing football is
hazardous to your health."
1288
01:38:11,483 --> 01:38:13,416
You got to put it on
both sides of the helmet.
1289
01:38:26,998 --> 01:38:28,432
Did you know that Paul Tagliabue...
1290
01:38:28,434 --> 01:38:30,567
This is the former Commissioner Tagliabue,
1291
01:38:30,569 --> 01:38:33,503
did you know that Paul was a
partner in Covington and Burling?
1292
01:38:33,505 --> 01:38:35,237
Which is the same law firm that represented
1293
01:38:35,239 --> 01:38:36,540
the big seven tobacco companies.
1294
01:38:36,542 --> 01:38:38,308
Of course he was.
1295
01:38:38,310 --> 01:38:39,710
But now they're representing
the National Football League.
1296
01:38:39,712 --> 01:38:41,981
Of course they do.
1297
01:38:51,556 --> 01:38:53,589
My last year with the Steelers,
1298
01:38:53,591 --> 01:38:57,361
we moved a game from a Sunday to
a Tuesday because of a blizzard.
1299
01:38:57,363 --> 01:38:59,662
And the League said that they
weren't concerned about the ratings
1300
01:38:59,664 --> 01:39:02,732
because the League was
immune from acts of God.
1301
01:39:25,390 --> 01:39:27,324
Bennet!
1302
01:39:27,326 --> 01:39:28,861
Bennet!
1303
01:39:54,685 --> 01:39:56,253
I'm so sorry.
1304
01:39:56,255 --> 01:39:58,690
There's no heartbeat.
1305
01:40:02,261 --> 01:40:04,693
May... May we have the room, please?
1306
01:40:04,695 --> 01:40:07,131
Excuse us. Thank you.
1307
01:40:24,716 --> 01:40:27,550
I'm so sorry.
1308
01:40:27,552 --> 01:40:30,687
I'm so sorry. I made a mistake.
1309
01:40:30,689 --> 01:40:33,089
This is my fault.
1310
01:40:58,149 --> 01:41:01,953
Dr. Pierson, E.R. med one.
Dr. Pierson, E.R. med one.
1311
01:41:04,655 --> 01:41:07,893
I wish I had never met Mike Webster.
1312
01:41:12,197 --> 01:41:14,767
They destroyed us.
1313
01:41:17,603 --> 01:41:22,907
And I don't understand why
it is happening this way.
1314
01:41:26,310 --> 01:41:28,846
Bennet, listen to me.
1315
01:41:31,350 --> 01:41:35,020
Do you know what I chose to fake?
1316
01:41:39,725 --> 01:41:41,260
You.
1317
01:41:47,365 --> 01:41:49,799
We will have this family.
1318
01:41:49,801 --> 01:41:51,835
Yes.
1319
01:41:51,837 --> 01:41:53,939
We will.
1320
01:41:56,507 --> 01:41:58,844
Just not here.
1321
01:42:01,747 --> 01:42:04,082
We have to go.
1322
01:42:39,650 --> 01:42:42,187
Hello? Mr. Omalu?
1323
01:42:44,789 --> 01:42:46,589
Dr. Omalu.
1324
01:42:46,591 --> 01:42:49,460
I just need the measurements
for the flat screens.
1325
01:42:51,563 --> 01:42:54,032
That won't be necessary.
1326
01:45:29,954 --> 01:45:33,423
Tell me what happened to you, Jose.
1327
01:45:33,425 --> 01:45:35,959
Tell me.
1328
01:45:35,961 --> 01:45:38,093
It's going to be okay.
1329
01:45:47,838 --> 01:45:49,606
Listen.
1330
01:45:49,608 --> 01:45:52,142
My mind keeps slipping.
1331
01:45:52,144 --> 01:45:55,778
I can't seem to find the
goddamn words no more.
1332
01:45:55,780 --> 01:45:57,381
What?
1333
01:46:01,185 --> 01:46:03,388
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1334
01:46:05,590 --> 01:46:07,857
I just can't do this.
1335
01:46:07,859 --> 01:46:10,062
And I'm sorry.
1336
01:46:52,938 --> 01:46:54,169
Yes.
1337
01:46:54,171 --> 01:46:56,173
Bennet, it's Julian.
1338
01:46:57,975 --> 01:47:01,477
Dave Duerson killed himself today.
1339
01:47:01,479 --> 01:47:03,946
Shot himself in the
chest. In the heart.
1340
01:47:03,948 --> 01:47:06,183
Hold on, hold on.
1341
01:47:11,789 --> 01:47:14,824
- My God.
- He left a note.
1342
01:47:14,826 --> 01:47:16,826
He wants his brain to be donated.
1343
01:47:16,828 --> 01:47:18,697
To be examined.
1344
01:47:22,100 --> 01:47:24,369
They said that we were right.
1345
01:47:28,606 --> 01:47:30,509
Benny, you there?
1346
01:47:31,542 --> 01:47:33,745
Yes. Yes, I'm here.
1347
01:47:36,247 --> 01:47:39,115
A Pro Bowler in that
deep with NFL leadership
1348
01:47:39,117 --> 01:47:40,950
killing himself in the
way he killed himself,
1349
01:47:40,952 --> 01:47:43,288
they can't explain this one away.
1350
01:47:44,588 --> 01:47:46,590
Players are gonna want
to hear from you now.
1351
01:47:54,565 --> 01:47:56,598
Trying to find the...
1352
01:48:14,319 --> 01:48:17,289
I don't know what to say to them.
1353
01:48:21,626 --> 01:48:24,328
Tell them what's really happening.
1354
01:49:13,612 --> 01:49:14,777
Hello.
1355
01:49:16,715 --> 01:49:18,582
Um...
1356
01:49:20,885 --> 01:49:24,723
A small boy, uh, came to me
1357
01:49:25,923 --> 01:49:29,358
and said, "Mister, why
do you hate football?"
1358
01:49:29,360 --> 01:49:32,394
I said, "I don't hate football."
1359
01:49:32,396 --> 01:49:36,199
He said, "Yes, my father
said you hate football."
1360
01:49:36,201 --> 01:49:38,634
I said, "You tell your
father to come see me."
1361
01:49:43,408 --> 01:49:47,110
My wife watches the games.
1362
01:49:47,112 --> 01:49:51,147
And she will scream
and she will jump.
1363
01:49:51,149 --> 01:49:53,752
She startles me a lot.
1364
01:49:56,121 --> 01:49:59,757
But through her eyes,
I can see the beauty
1365
01:50:00,824 --> 01:50:04,795
and the grace, the power.
1366
01:50:08,198 --> 01:50:11,769
I said to her that I wished
I'd never met Mike Webster.
1367
01:50:23,881 --> 01:50:26,450
But that was before I knew him.
1368
01:50:29,787 --> 01:50:34,558
He has given me a great gift.
1369
01:50:37,261 --> 01:50:39,596
A dangerous gift.
1370
01:50:41,265 --> 01:50:43,200
The gift of knowing.
1371
01:50:46,037 --> 01:50:50,440
When a man is a soldier,
he knows what is at risk.
1372
01:50:50,442 --> 01:50:53,745
He may be injured or even killed.
1373
01:50:56,113 --> 01:50:59,348
But when a man is a football player,
1374
01:50:59,350 --> 01:51:04,187
he knows he may break
his arm or his leg.
1375
01:51:04,189 --> 01:51:08,859
He does not know that
he can lose his mind.
1376
01:51:10,261 --> 01:51:12,829
His family, his money.
1377
01:51:15,132 --> 01:51:16,901
His life.
1378
01:51:19,037 --> 01:51:21,739
They have to know.
1379
01:51:26,978 --> 01:51:29,812
Mike Webster.
1380
01:51:29,814 --> 01:51:31,748
Justin Strzelczyk.
1381
01:51:31,750 --> 01:51:34,083
Terry Long.
1382
01:51:34,085 --> 01:51:35,920
Andre Waters.
1383
01:51:37,122 --> 01:51:38,922
Dave Duerson.
1384
01:51:40,891 --> 01:51:45,529
By dying, they speak for the living.
1385
01:51:47,297 --> 01:51:49,666
And I speak for them.
1386
01:51:51,168 --> 01:51:53,537
That is all I do.
1387
01:51:56,306 --> 01:51:58,442
Forgive them.
1388
01:52:01,479 --> 01:52:03,782
Forgive yourselves.
1389
01:52:09,988 --> 01:52:11,956
Be at peace.
1390
01:52:17,796 --> 01:52:21,930
Commissioner Goodell,
is there a link between
1391
01:52:21,932 --> 01:52:25,000
playing professional
football and the likelihood
1392
01:52:25,002 --> 01:52:29,304
of contracting a
brain-related injury
1393
01:52:29,306 --> 01:52:34,509
such as dementia, Alzheimer's,
depression or CTE?
1394
01:52:34,511 --> 01:52:38,013
We're doing everything we
possibly can for our players now.
1395
01:52:38,015 --> 01:52:41,183
I just asked you a simple
question. What's the answer?
1396
01:52:41,185 --> 01:52:42,852
It sort of reminds me
1397
01:52:42,854 --> 01:52:46,022
of the tobacco companies, pre-'90s,
1398
01:52:46,024 --> 01:52:48,424
when they kept saying,
"No, there's no link
1399
01:52:48,426 --> 01:52:51,027
"between smoking and, um,
damage to your health,
1400
01:52:51,029 --> 01:52:53,161
"or ill health effects."
1401
01:52:53,163 --> 01:52:56,566
And they were forced to
admit that that was incorrect
1402
01:52:56,568 --> 01:52:59,235
through a spate of
litigation in the 1990s.
1403
01:52:59,237 --> 01:53:02,170
And my question to you is...
1404
01:53:02,172 --> 01:53:03,572
Oh, we have heard
1405
01:53:03,574 --> 01:53:05,342
from the NFL time and time again.
1406
01:53:05,344 --> 01:53:09,277
You're always "studying," you're
always "trying," you're "hopeful."
1407
01:53:09,279 --> 01:53:11,112
Son of a bitch.
1408
01:53:11,114 --> 01:53:12,982
I want to know what are you doing
1409
01:53:12,984 --> 01:53:14,817
in the negotiations
that are going on now
1410
01:53:14,819 --> 01:53:19,888
to deal with this problem and the
other problems related to the injuries
1411
01:53:19,890 --> 01:53:26,329
that football players obtain
and its impact on their health.
1412
01:53:26,331 --> 01:53:28,363
You did all this.
1413
01:53:28,365 --> 01:53:30,133
I know my time is
drawing to a close,
1414
01:53:30,135 --> 01:53:35,237
but let me just say this to Mr. Goodell,
uh, and everybody who's here today
1415
01:53:35,239 --> 01:53:38,007
that I think it's
time for the Congress
1416
01:53:38,009 --> 01:53:40,644
of the United States to take a look.
1417
01:53:42,947 --> 01:53:43,646
First time in Washington?
1418
01:53:43,648 --> 01:53:46,214
Uh, yes.
1419
01:53:46,216 --> 01:53:48,284
Well, we're thrilled you
accepted our invitation.
1420
01:53:48,286 --> 01:53:50,988
I was, uh, very curious.
1421
01:53:52,489 --> 01:53:55,523
Chief Medical Examiner
for Washington, D.C.,
1422
01:53:55,525 --> 01:53:58,894
means you would also
consult with the CIA and FBI
1423
01:53:58,896 --> 01:54:00,196
and any foreign government
1424
01:54:00,198 --> 01:54:04,232
requesting the assistance of
the United States government.
1425
01:54:04,234 --> 01:54:07,469
Essentially, you're America's
forensic pathologist.
1426
01:54:07,471 --> 01:54:11,607
Wouldn't have to put on
scrubs or perform an autopsy.
1427
01:54:11,609 --> 01:54:14,112
You're beyond all that now.
1428
01:54:19,250 --> 01:54:21,217
Would you like to hear
about the benefits package?
1429
01:54:21,219 --> 01:54:23,352
No.
1430
01:54:23,354 --> 01:54:25,556
I mean, I'm sure it's fine.
1431
01:54:31,930 --> 01:54:36,398
We know everything you did, Dr. Omalu.
1432
01:54:36,400 --> 01:54:40,702
You exemplify everything
it is to be an American.
1433
01:54:40,704 --> 01:54:44,108
You belong here with us,
in the nation's capital.
1434
01:54:58,189 --> 01:55:01,926
Why don't you take a couple
days and think about it?
1435
01:55:35,460 --> 01:55:36,894
Ready.
1436
01:55:39,296 --> 01:55:41,330
Hut!
1437
01:55:41,332 --> 01:55:43,499
Get up, get up field, get
up field, get up field!
1438
01:55:43,501 --> 01:55:45,534
You heard him. Move up field, let's go!
1439
01:55:45,536 --> 01:55:47,236
You, on the ball, on the ball.
1440
01:55:47,238 --> 01:55:49,841
Okay, let's huddle up!
Bring it back, huddle up.
1441
01:55:53,677 --> 01:55:57,079
All right, call it out!
Douglas, I'm talkin' to you.
1442
01:55:57,081 --> 01:55:58,347
Hut!
1443
01:55:58,349 --> 01:55:59,389
Get 'em, get 'em, get 'em!
1444
01:56:00,518 --> 01:56:01,717
That's it. Good!
1445
01:56:01,719 --> 01:56:04,219
There you go. Good job,
good job, on the ball.
1446
01:56:04,221 --> 01:56:06,690
- Let's go, let's go, tempo, tempo!
- Tempo, tempo!
1447
01:56:13,230 --> 01:56:15,598
How 'bout we hit somebody this time, huh?
1448
01:56:15,600 --> 01:56:17,465
Try a little more contact.
1449
01:56:17,467 --> 01:56:18,935
One-sixteen,
one-sixteen!
1450
01:56:47,131 --> 01:56:49,065
A tragic loss for
the family and fans
1451
01:56:49,067 --> 01:56:51,400
of former Chargers star Junior Seau
1452
01:56:51,402 --> 01:56:54,269
after he was found dead
in his Oceanside home.
1453
01:56:54,271 --> 01:56:55,838
Good evening and thanks
for joining us tonight.
1454
01:56:55,840 --> 01:56:59,741
Junior Seau's death is being
investigated as a suicide.
1455
01:56:59,743 --> 01:57:01,811
Police say his girlfriend
reported finding him
1456
01:57:01,813 --> 01:57:05,147
with an apparently self-inflicted
gunshot wound to the chest.
1457
01:57:05,149 --> 01:57:07,083
Tonight there's widespread shock
1458
01:57:07,085 --> 01:57:09,285
and disbelief over the sudden death.
1459
01:57:09,287 --> 01:57:11,821
Standing in front of her
son's beachfront home,
1460
01:57:11,823 --> 01:57:15,191
Junior Seau's mother poured
out her heart and her grief.
1461
01:57:15,193 --> 01:57:18,126
I'm shocked.
1462
01:57:18,128 --> 01:57:21,296
But I appreciate
everybody's over here,
1463
01:57:21,298 --> 01:57:23,531
show your love...
1464
01:57:23,533 --> 01:57:24,834
We loved Junior.
1465
01:57:24,836 --> 01:57:26,468
We love you, Mrs. Seau!
1466
01:57:26,470 --> 01:57:29,039
Show your love to my son.
