Joe Mathieu:
WBZ News time--
6:00, 36 degrees.

First light, in Boston.

I'm Joe Mathieu, WBZ News.
Good morning.

Just hours away
from the starting gun.

It was first run
in 1897.

Today, the nation's
oldest marathon will be run
for the 117th time.

Some 27,000 runners
from all over the world

are expected
to run Boston this year.

WBZ AccuWeather...

Weatherman:
Temperatures will climb
into the 50s this afternoon,

but the start
of the marathon...

Reporter:
But we are only
moments away now

from the starting gun
for the men's race of
the 117th Boston Marathon,

live at the starting line
in Hopkinton.

Announcer:
30 seconds to go!

This will be
the last announcement
before the start.

Have a great race,
everybody!

Commentator:
And already,
thousands of runners

right behind
these elite runners.

Weather conditions
are excellent.

Mid-40s right now,
just a light breeze.

Ideal conditions
for some very fast times.

We are about to get
this race underway.

They are lined up
at the start.

- ( starting gun fires )
- Commentator: And there
they go!

- ( crowd cheering )
- A good, clean start.

Wesley Korir
leading the early pack

down the streets
of Hopkinton.

Thousands of runners
coming behind them

and the 117th running
of the Boston Marathon
is headed to Boston.

Reporter #2:
The Boston Marathon

is an annual
Patriots' Day tradition.

The holiday commemorates
the anniversaries

of the Battles
of Lexington and Concord,

the first battle
of the Revolutionary War.

Celeste Corcoran: There was
a reason why I had never
been to the marathon.

I hate crowds.

So, when my sister
first told me that
she was gonna run,

my first thought was,
"Shit, now we gotta go."

Kevin Corcoran:
Alarm goes off.

I don't even know
what time it was.
It was early, early, early.

They're blocking off
streets.

We gotta make sure
we're in town on time.

Reporter #3:
Quite bright out there
on Patriots' Day...

Sydney Corcoran:
We didn't really run
into a ton of traffic.

Just the morning sun.
It was beautiful.

Reporter #2:
They'll run the historic
26.2-mile course

that begins in rural
Hopkinton, Massachusetts,

and ends
in downtown Boston.

Reporter #3:
All streets around
Copley Square

are shut down already
for the marathon.

Boylston closed between
Exeter and Arlington.

J.P. Norden:
Honestly, just partying
on Boylston Street--

going down,
having a fun day.

Sometimes
I went to the Red Sox game,
then I'd go down.

Reporter #4:
First pitch,
11:05 this morning.

Parking around Kenmore Square
will be severely limited
due to the marathon.

J.P.: My brother, Paul,
was talking about going
to the marathon,

and we were gonna watch
one of our best friends run.

Man: Boston,
we're notoriously
provincial, parochial.

But Marathon Day,
it's a day when Boston

is most welcoming
to the outside world.

- ( cheering )
- Patrick Downes: As a kid,

that was
the event of the year.

I grew up in Cambridge

and there were some times
we couldn't attend
the marathon.

We'd listen to it
on the radio.

It's like, what is more boring
than listening to a marathon
on the radio?

Announcer #2:
The women are coming
down the stretch.

The leading runner
on the women's side...

Patrick:
We had both run it in 2005,

but Jess had never
really been there to spectate

and see what
a massive party it is.

Jessica Kensky:
We didn't really have
a plan that day.

We just-- we were gonna see
where the day took us.

Commentator #2:
Runners have to post
a qualifying time

for their age
and gender

to get into
the Boston Marathon,

but usually around 5,000
participate

by pledging to raise money
for charity.

Man #2:
You pass
a sea of humanity--

thousands
of people screaming,

strangers
kissing strangers.

It just binds people
across 26 miles.

They will literally
bring you across
the finish line.

And that is the heart
of the Boston Marathon.

( music playing )

Commentator:
For the men's elite,
Lelisa Desisa of Ethiopia,

just 24 years old.

Three-man finish
coming down here.

Pretty amazing,
given the age of just 24...

( camera shutter clicking )

- ( camera shutter clicking )
- ( indistinct P.A. chatter )

Celeste:
When we knew
that my sister was close,

we made our way
to Boylston Street.

Kevin:
As we left the restaurant,

we found ourselves
behind the finish line.

And I turned around
to the group and they said,

"We're 20 feet
on the wrong side."

You know, "Let's go.
Let's move. Follow me."

Sydney:
This crowd in front of us
just suddenly left,

so we took advantage of it
and moved up.

We got even closer.

J.P.:
I just asked my brother
where he was,

and he's like,
"I'll be in front
of the Forum."

Commentator #2:
It's been a fantastic
Marathon Monday here at Forum.

Again, we're here till 4:00,
but the party will continue...

Jessica: We weren't trying
to catch any specific
runner or anything.

We just decided we would go
towards the finish line

and kind of cheer
for some people.

Announcer:
A good day for Ron Barner
and Debbie Stevens.

- ( continues, indistinct )
- ( crowd cheering )

- ( commentator continues )
- ( cheering continues )

- ( explosion )
- ( people screaming )

Woman:
Oh, my God!
Something blew up!

- Something blew up.
- ( explosion )

( people screaming )

Guard:
Come on, move!

Officer:
Go that way!
Go that way!

- ( whistle blowing )
- Man: We need help!

Where are they going?

Man:
We've had an attack.

( siren wailing )

Man:
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.

Watch out, man.
Watch out!

Man:
We've had an explosion
on the marathon course

feet from
the finish line.

Two explosions went off
one after the other.

Large explosions.

We've had an attack here
in the city of Boston.

Man #2:
Watch out,
watch out!

Fellas, watch for
secondary devices!

Clear, clear, clear!

( fire engine honking )

- ( audio fades, echoing )
- ( high-pitched ringing )

J.P.:
There was only 12 seconds
in between both bombs,

but it felt
so much longer.

When it went off,
I didn't hear it.

I didn't feel it.

I was on the ground,
then I looked down

and I saw
that I had no foot.

When I turned over,
I could see that my brother
had no leg either.

The first responders,
I know, came right over,

but time felt like
it was standing still.

Jim Allen:
As you can still hear the sound
of the blast going off,

we were already
starting to drive.

There was a large pool
of blood.

J.P., he had a pulse,
but his blood pressure
was probably zero.

( siren wailing )

A lot of people there
were still smoking.

Their clothes
were still on fire.

Civilian bystanders
were taking off their own
clothes, their own belts.

They were using
everything they could,
trying to stop the bleeding.

Woman:
Is she bleeding
from anywhere?

Woman #2:
His leg!

( distant siren wailing )

Man:
Guys, you're okay.

( chatter )

Celeste:
It had blown out
both my ear drums.

I tried to sit up
and I couldn't sit up.

Kevin:
What remained of her legs
were graphically impacted.

The blood was being pumped out
with every heartbeat

onto the sidewalk.

Celeste:
I kept repeating, "No, no.
This didn't happen.

This can't happen.

This couldn't
have happened."

Jessica:
I looked over at Patrick,

and what I remember
is seeing his foot detached

and laying next to me.

And I remember
trying to use my purse

to tie a tourniquet
around his leg.

And I was trying
to lean forward to block him.

I didn't want him to see
how his leg looked.

We're on fire, here!
We're on fire.
We're on fire.

Jessica:
Someone ran over to me
and just said,

"You're on fire!
You're on fire!"

and started to push me
down on the ground.

Man:
Let's go!

Jessica:
When they lifted me up,

he put his hand
on the stretcher,
and I just remember him saying,

"We'll figure this out.
And I love you."

I was brought
to the first aid tent,
and then Patrick never came in.

And that's when
the panic really set in.

I just, um...

I know how thoughtful
and kind Patrick is,

and I was worried
that he was gonna,

like, defer help
for everyone else
before he took it for himself.

And I was worried
that he didn't realize
how bad his injuries were,

that he could bleed to death
on the street.

Tyler Corcoran:
I got a text from my dad

and it said,
"Mom's critical.

Get to Boston
Medical Center.

Can't find Syd."

Sydney:
All of a sudden,
my-- my mom was gone.

My dad was gone.

It seemed like literally
everyone had disappeared.

The first one
that approached me
was a Marine,

so he knew what to do
in these types of situations.

He could see
that a piece of shrapnel

had gone into my thigh
and severed my femoral artery.

He told his friend
to literally put his hands
inside my leg

and hold my artery.

Like, he had to stop me
from bleeding out.

He was talking in, like,
a very low voice

and telling me,
"You're gonna be okay.

You're gonna be okay."

Reporter:
Boston on the day
of the Boston Marathon.

There have been two explosions
near the finish line.

Reporter #2:
Fox News is reporting
that three of the people

involved in this explosion
have died.

Reporter #3:
They are just loading
one ambulance after another.

As soon as its loaded,
it is on its way out.
They're on their way.

Reporter #2:
They're locking down
certain streets

within a one- or two-mile
radius of the explosion...

Reporter #4:
It's just absolutely
heartbreaking

when you think about
the spirit of this day.

The people
in Boston participate
in this world-class event

and enjoy
bringing their children,
bringing their families.

This will never
be the same.

( chatter )

- ( distant siren wailing )
- Woman: Everybody, out!

( workers shouting )

Everybody, out!
Move everybody down...

Man: My name is Ed Davis.
I'm the police commissioner
for the city of Boston.

We are in the process
of securing the most
complex crime scene

that we've dealt with
in the history of
our department.

We are doing that
under the direction of the FBI

and in partnership
with the ATF.

Everybody, go! Go!
You gotta go!

You gotta go!
Everybody, go!
Everybody, go!

( sirens wailing )

Tyler:
It was absolute pandemonium
inside that hospital.

The smell of burnt hair,
burnt skin.

My dad just kept saying,
"Mom's legs are gone.

They're gone.
There's nothing they can do."

And he just
kept weeping.

Tyler:
It might have been
two hours

until we even knew that Sydney
was in the hospital.

Sydney:
I-- I was almost gone.

I can remember hearing,

"Her lips are going purple
and her eyes are going white.

Her body temperature
is dropping

and she's losing
too much blood."

And I thought,
"This is it for me."

Liz Norden:
My son, Paul, called me
from the ambulance

to tell me
that he was hurt real bad.

When I finally found out
that he had lost his leg

and still had no idea
where J.P. was,

I firmly believed J.P. had--
was dead.

J.P.:
They said when I got
to the hospital,

I had one pint of blood
left in me.

I wanted to try
to call my mother
and tell them I love them

'cause I wasn't sure
what was gonna happen,
if I was gonna make it or not.

( siren wailing )

Patrick:
The first memory I have
after the bombing

was waking up with my parents
by my side,

crying and telling me
that my leg was gone

and that Jess was
going into surgery.

They knew
she was gonna lose
one leg,

possibly the second.

I just can't even imagine
what those--

we-- we were out of it
for that time,

and they were
at the peak of fear

with the rest of the city.

( chatter )

Richard DesLauriers:
This will be a worldwide
investigation.

We will take-- go
where the evidence
and the leads take us.

We will go
to the ends of the earth

to identify the subject
or subjects

who are responsible
for this despicable crime.

Kieran Ramsey:
Two devices, 200 meters apart--

that's a big crime scene.

We're trying
to document the scene,
collect the evidence.

Short of
a nuclear bomb going off,
if you blow something up,

chances are we're going
to be able to pick up
the pieces,

kind of reassemble it
back together,

figure out
what the bomb is made of.

When we were frantic to try
and identify the subjects--

they had just set off
two bombs at the finish line
of the Boston Marathon.

What are these guys
gonna do next?

Man:
I want to stress that
any information that you have--

any videos or photographs
that happened,

not just at that scene,

but anywhere
in the immediate vicinity,

could be helpful
to this investigation.

Obama:
This was a heinous
and cowardly act.

And given what we now know
about what took place,

the FBI is investigating it
as an act of terrorism.

Anytime bombs are used
to target innocent civilians,

it is an act of terror.

Liz: It was a living hell
to have two boys be in two
different hospitals

with those injuries
at the same time.

Walking from Beth Israel
to Brigham's to see J.P.,

I don't-- that part
is just like-- sorry.

It's just a blur.
I don't-- I don't remember.

Both of them were in surgery
at the same time.

And even though they're older,
they're still your kids,

and you wanna be there
for both of them.

I had to literally
pick and choose, you know.

One day, J.P. was just
getting out of the surgery
and was in recovery,

and then Paul had spiked
a fever of 105

and he was
turning septic.

So, really, when I tell you
the first two weeks
was a nightmare,

it really was
a nightmare.

J.P.:
Growing up,
my mom was my dad,

my mom,
and a friend all in one.

In the house,
it was my mom and us,
the kids.

Just picture five kids
that want everything,
you know,

and she would work
however many jobs
she had to do.

Liz:
I was 17 when I had J.P.--

young and dumb,
a senior in high school.

And I had Paul
not too long after that.

It was tough, you know,

being a kid
and having a child,

but we grew up together.

J.P.:
My brother and I,
we're 18 months apart.

People thought
we were twins.

Growing up,
he was a pain, you know,

when you're the older brother,
trying to do things
with your friends

and he's trying
to tag along and stuff.

But, you know,
now you just can't wait
for him to tag along.

I was in
the Roofers Union,

he was in
the Sheet Metal Union.

Everybody else
will describe him

as this big, rough,
tough guy, you know?

And I just look at him
as my little brother,

but big little brother.

I would ask every day,

"Oh, can I speak
to Paul now?"

My mother would be like,
"Well, he's in a surgery."

She didn't want me
to worry about him.

They put Paul
in a medically-induced coma
for nine days.

J.P.:
There wasn't a day
that I didn't see him,

so not seeing him was--
it really just sucked.

( door opens )

What's up, my brother?

- J.P., how you doing?
- Same old, same old.

- All right, man, soon.
- You look awesome.

- Huh?
- ( chuckles )

Jessica:
We were in separate hospitals
for five weeks.

Our wounds
were so complex,

we were going
to the operating room
every other day.

Jessica:
I stabilized first

and my medical team
brought me over
to see Patrick.

( camera shutter clicks )

Jessica:
I was so grateful
he was alive.

This was my husband.

We agreed we were gonna
figure life out together,

and so we're gonna
figure this out, too.

Patrick:
The first time we met,

I was at my buddy's house
from B.C.,

and we were watching

the College Football
National Championship.

So, I was hanging out
with him,

drinking beers,
eating junk food.

And Jess lived
in the same apartment building,

so she came by to say hi
to our friend, Tom.

I was expecting to just find
my friend in there.

I didn't know
there was gonna be
a cute guy on the couch.

And he barely looked at me.
He had his hat pulled down
real low.

I figured he was really
into the football game.

I think Tom offered
for me to stay.

But she stayed
at the doorway

'cause she had just come
from working out.

I remember kind of trying
to smell my armpit.

Jessica:
What did you physically
notice about me?

Patrick:
That you were
in incredibly good shape.

That's not
what you told me.

- What did I say?
- My legs.

Oh.

Among other things.

He had told me
my legs,

which just has
stood out for me,
you know?

We were living
off of my salary

as an oncology nurse.

Patrick was
a full-time student.

And we just
couldn't have been happier.

Jessica:
I just remember that time

as total
and complete happiness.

And something that--
it felt earned

because we had
worked so hard.

( camera shutter clicks )

Celeste: The next memory I have
is when they put Sydney
and I together.

All I knew
was Sydney almost died
on the cold Boston sidewalk.

Sydney:
It was so good to see her.

Obviously, she got
her pretty looks
from you, huh?

( Celeste chuckles )

- Great to see you.
- Nice to see you.

You look good.
You look real good.

Celeste:
When I was in the hospital,

I had three Marines
come into my room.

That was
a very pivotal moment.

I hadn't seen
anyone like me--
a double amputee.

- Yeah, I can't
do anything right now.
- Right now, yes.

But I'm telling you,
and, you know, with
all my heart,

you are gonna
be more independent,
you know, than you ever were.

( sniffles )
That makes me--
I'm so glad to hear it.

- And, you know--
- I can't believe
it's the same.

Celeste:
It's meant
the world to me.

There were so many--
so many visitors.

I had no idea the scope

and the impact that this had
on not only Boston,

but the country,
the world.

Celeste:
One day, some nurses
came over to me

and said that there was someone
that wanted to come and see us,

Sydney and I,
and that he was very nervous.

She explained to me
that he was a photographer
for "The Boston Globe."

John Tlumacki:
This photograph
that ends up being

on the front page
of "The Globe"

and on the "Wall Street Journal"
and "The New York Times."

And I didn't know at the time
who she was.

( siren wailing )

Sydney: I was in the hospital
when I saw the photograph
for the first time.

It was so
overwhelmingly real

because it brings you
right back to it.

- ( people shouting )
- ( camera shutter clicking )

Tlumacki:
When I first
got to the railing,

a Boston police officer said,
"Please do not exploit
this situation."

- ( camera shutter clicking )
- And I knew exactly
what he meant.

I think I have
a huge responsibility.

I represent the public
who cannot be there.

But I felt
I took something away
from Sydney and Celeste.

I showed them
so vulnerable,

helpless,
laying on the ground.

Just didn't sit right
with me.

He just sort of timidly
came into the room, you know,
and he introduced himself.

I mean,
his voice was shaking.

He was--
he was very emotional.

And he said,
"I just wanted to apologize."

And I said,
"Those pictures
are so important

because the world needs to know
how horrific this is

and that this
can't happen again.

Tlumacki: I said, "I don't know
how I can make up to you
for doing what I did,

but I would like
to document your recovery
for however long it takes.

( camera shutter clicking )

Celeste:
We let him into our lives

and a friendship
just developed.

It was a little bit
of healing for us.

Reporter:
With three people killed

and more than
170 people injured

in the explosions
at the Boston Marathon
finish line,

President Barack Obama will be
heading to Boston this morning
for an interfaith service.

Reporter #2:
The FBI says it has
evidence that indicates

one of the bombs
was a pressure cooker

that contained nails
and ball bearings,

and was hidden
in a backpack.

Reporter #3:
The bombs included items
almost anybody could buy,

and so an initial look
at the evidence

does little
to narrow down...

Reporter #4:
...this huge montage
of pictures--

layer upon layer
upon layer.

And that's what
all the investigators
are looking at.

Ramsey:
Everybody was
sending us emails.

We had something like
70 terabytes

of relevant
digital media evidence.

That's a huge amount.

( crowd cheering )

What's an anomaly
in a crowd of 10,000 people?

Somebody that's
wearing a hat that says,
"I'm the terrorist"?

That's a very hard thing
to look for.

We used
facial recognition software,
and it didn't work.

I mean,
you have to have bodies
in front of computers,

clicking the mouse,
going through all
of this stuff.

We had probably
over 100 analysts

clicking through video
after video,

photograph after photograph,
24 hours a day,

trying to see whatever
that could be identified
that might be of relevance.

I had a call
from the superintendent
of the state police saying,

"We have some intelligence
I want to show you."

And he showed me
the grainy images.

Ramsey:
They see a photo of a guy

faced away
from the finish line,

wearing a white hat
backwards.

He's relatively
in close proximity

to where we think
the bomb blasts are.

And through the photo,

they see also
what appears to be

some kind of bag
at the feet.

And you can watch him
in the video,

about five minutes
before the bombs go off,

come into the frame
with a backpack,

tilt his shoulder,
and you can see the bag
come off.

He set the bomb
behind a group of children
watching the Boston Marathon.

Then you fast forward
to the moment the first blast
went off.

He's just slowly
walking up the street.

And just as he is leaving
the viewfinder,

that second blast
goes off.

And now we've
visually identified

who becomes known to us
as "White Hat."

We expand out that triage
and analysis,

and we find "Black Hat,"
also carrying a backpack.

Now we have "Black Hat"
and "White Hat."

We found out later
that they were brothers.

There was
a robust debate

about making
the images public.

At that point,
there had been

at least one person
misidentified by a newspaper.

We didn't know
how many people
were involved.

Who were they connected to?
Was there more?

So, I supported
making the images public,

but not before
the president leaves.

( chatter )

When you got
two bombers on the run

and you've got to bring the
President of the United States
and the First Lady in,

that's a lot of resources,
a lot of manpower.

But the city
needed the president.

Our country
needed the president
to be here with us.

Obama:
Scripture tells us

to run with endurance

the race that is
set before us.

And so
we come together to pray,

and mourn,
and measure our loss.

But we also
come together today

to reaffirm that the spirit
of this city is undaunted.

As you begin
this long journey
of recovery,

your country
is with you.

We will all be with you
as you learn to stand,

and walk,
and, yes, run again.

Of that,
I have no doubt.

You will run again.

They sought
to intimidate us,

to terrorize us,

to shake us
from those values

that make us who we are
as Americans.

Well, it should be
pretty clear by now

that they picked
the wrong city to do it.

( all cheering )

All right, Boston.

This is
our fucking city.

And nobody gonna dictate
our freedom.

Stay strong!
Thank you.

Patrick:
To see all these people

and knowing that
they were cheering for us,

uh, was...

I don't know,
I just broke down in tears

because it was so--
it was just...

the whole city was wrapped up
in this somehow.
"STAY STRONG"

It was
incredibly humbling

to be a beneficiary
of all that goodwill

despite all the evil
that was mustered

to hurt us
in the first place.

( water rushing )

( horn honks )

Okay, so get those hands
further in front of you

so you can step
into them.

There you go.

Jessica:
My right leg was there

and looked reminiscent
of what I used to have...

- ( camera shutter clicking )
- ...but was very deformed

pieced together.

I just really
couldn't understand

what it meant
to salvage your limb.

Man:
Trust the chair.
I got you.

Jessica:
I was in constant pain
whenever I was bearing weight.

I just feel like
it's all my weight
on the very bottom.

- That's what I feel.
- Have a seat.

- ( exhales )
- ( camera shutter clicks )

Patrick:
It was one surgery
after another surgery,

after another surgery.

Jessica:
You try another
limb salvage surgery

and you put all this hope
into the surgery,

and you get up on it,
finally,

and you realize
this isn't gonna work.

I'm still in pain
all the time.

Woman: Try to put
a little bit more weight
than what you've been doing

and step through
with the other leg.

- Yeah, there you go.
- Jessica: But I said,

"They are gonna
have to kill me before
they take this other leg.

Over my dead body are they
taking this other leg from me."

Patrick:
How are you feeling?

I feel sad.
Really sad.

How come?

Well...

it's a long story.

Jessica:
When I daydream a lot,
I picture our old apartment.

- ( door opens )
- Hello.

Welcome to
our guest room

that doubles as our living room
when you're not visiting.

This room is 16x12.

- Patrick: 17x11.
- Oh, 17-- no.

- 17x11.
- ( chuckles )

Come on in,
let's do some dishes.

Jessica:
It was this
hundred-year-old building.

I think it was, like,
a 600-square-foot apartment.

I mean,
you have to be in love

to live in 600 square feet
with someone.

We don't have
a dishwasher,

but we do have
this giant, old-fashioned sink.

Patrick was doing better
and feeling better.

So, I think it was kind of
the beginning

of us really being just
in very, very different places.

Patrick:
I was attracted to her
and married her

'cause she's
such a vibrant person.

It's hard to see her
not only suffer medically,

but also psychologically

because it just
sucks the life out of her.

This is stripping her
of so many different things.

Jessica:
Ready?

Set.

Go. Jump!

There you go.

- ( camera shutter clicking )
- Jessica: Getting Rescue
was the first time

that it felt like
we were adding something
back to our life.

And even though
he was related

to my injuries
and the bombing,
he didn't know that.

- Patrick:
Rescue, ready? Go!
- Go get it.

This could be too hard.

Are you ready?

Fetch phone.

I was very focused
on what he was gonna
physically help me with.

- ( touch tones beeping )
- Good boy!

Jessica:
I was really caught off guard

by how much
he just made us laugh.

( music playing
on radio )

( Patrick chuckles )

Patrick:
I do remember the sensation

that comes with, like,
a really just joyful laugh

and being kind of
surprised by it,

because I hadn't felt it
for a while.

Liz:
When Paul told me
he was coming home,

I'm like,
"What am I gonna do?

We live on the second
and third floor of
a two-family house.

( dog barks )

You know, he was
coming home with no leg.

That's when, like,
reality kicked in--

to see them have to
crawl up the stairs

or go down
on their butt.

J.P.:
Paul ended up
doing pretty well.

I had a bunch
of stuff going on.

My left leg
was not mobile.

I could only bend it,
like, 39 degrees.

50% of my body
was burnt,

so I was just still
in so much pain.

I was in rehab
when Paul went home.

Kelly stayed with me
the whole time.

( camera shutter clicks )

Kelly Castine:
When he opened his eyes
in the hospital,

he said, "You know,
you don't deserve this."

That was one
of the first things he said.

I said, "I deserve you.
You deserve me.

We're not
saying that ever again.
Let's move on."

But things like this
change people no matter what.

I didn't know how this
was gonna change J.P.

J.P.:
I thought my life was
gonna be in a wheelchair.

I've seen people
with prosthetics,

but I didn't know
anybody.

Now with the prosthetics,
I'm able to go up
and down stairs.

I wanna be doing
all the stuff he talked about.

Driving.

You know, I really
just wanna walk again
more than anything.

- ( creaking )
- Nurse: Try to crank it once.

Ah. Oh, my God.

Slide your butt
off the wheelchair.
That'll be something.

Okay.

- Oh, don't slide.
- Don't.

- Sydney: No. ( chuckles )
- Nurse: I've already picked
you up off the floor.

( camera shutter clicking )

Sydney:
It was still really hard

to comprehend
what had happened,

especially when I looked
at my mother

and just saw
that her legs were gone.

And I almost died
and my family had to
deal with that.

Celeste:
Sydney, smile.

( chuckles )

Sydney:
I had quite a few
procedures.

Because my artery
was severed,

they harvested a vein
from the opposite leg.

I had a hole
blown through my foot,

so I'm missing bone
and tendon,

so I have stents
and coils in my leg.

I was trying to put on
a brave face.

( camera shutter clicking )

Sydney:
I was so eager to be
getting out of the hospital,

but I was so heartbroken
to be leaving my mom.

Feet are front.
I have an extra post.

Don't want to stand
in a crowd, right?

Celeste:
The first set of legs
that I was given

were basic,
basic technology legs.

They just feel
so unnatural.

It feels like
you're on stilts.

It's so hard.

Celeste:
I thought I was never
going to be able to walk.

She was crying
every single day,

for hours.

And it was
the hardest thing
to watch.

Kevin:
Never in my life
have I seen Celeste

and felt her sob
so deeply.

I mean, her body shakes
and moves.

( chatter )

Oh, boy.

Kevin: I remember
when she walked down
for the first time.

To walk five or six steps
took her two or three minutes.

And with tears
in her eyes, she goes,

"Do you think I'm ever gonna
be able to walk on my own?"

And by that afternoon,

she was walking outside
the parallel bars on her own.

It feels like
my real foot did.

Like, I can feel, like--

I feel like I'm
coming down on a heel

and rolling forward.

( chuckles )

Celeste:
I had met Stan Patterson,
a prosthetist.

He invented prosthetics
so that you could do
more things,

you were more stable
on your feet.

You're not--
now, just let it go.

Let it go.
Let it bend. No.

You had it.
Just trust me.

It's gonna
slowly bend.

Let it bend.

( chatter )

Tyler:
That trip to Florida
was huge...

'cause it gave us hope.

- ( grunts )
- There you go.

That's awesome.

After that,
she didn't cry every day.

Nice.

- Yes!
- Sydney: Whoo-hoo!
( chuckles )

DesLauriers:
Good afternoon.
My name is Richard DesLauriers.

I am the special agent
in charge of the FBI's
Boston division.

After a very detailed
analysis of photo, video,
and other evidence,

we are releasing photos
of these two suspects.

They are identified
as "Suspect 1" and "Suspect 2."

We consider them to be armed
and extremely dangerous.

No one should approach them.

No one should attempt
to apprehend them

except law enforcement.

Ramsey:
We knew when we did that,
we had to brace for impact

because, essentially,
what we're telling them is,

"We have your photos.
We're coming for you."

Our hope was that
somebody would see these

and, quickly enough,
call us.

Our fear was
that we give them
that heads up

and they cause more death
and destruction.

Officer Sean Collier
was on the campus of MIT

and he's parked alongside
one of the buildings there.

The two subjects
came from around the side
and executed him.

- ( gunfire )
- ( men shouting )

Man:
Get down!

Officer:

Ramsey:
The subjects tried to get
Officer Collier's weapon.

But unless you know how to
get a gun out of that holster,

it's not coming out.

Ramsey:
Less than an hour after
the killing of Officer Collier,

the subjects pull up
on a victim pulled over
to the side of the road.

He gets carjacked.

They force him to give over
his ATM card and his pin...

ending up
at this gas station.

The one brother walks in
to go get snacks.

The carjacking victim
overheard that they may be
going to New York.

The other brother is distracted
with the GPS on the phone,

so the victim of the carjacking
makes a break for it

and runs across the street
to another gas station.

He's begging the clerk,
"Please, call the police.

These guys just carjacked me.
They're terrorists.

You need to call
the police."

The one brother
that had been in the car
runs into the store,

grabs the other brother.

( beeps )

Dispatch:
9-1-1, recorded lines.

Man:
Hello, sir.
Please help me.

- Dispatch: Hello, sir.
- Please help me.
Please help me.

- Sir?
- Someone took to my car.

- They took your...
- They wanted to steal--
took my car--

Dispatch:
Sir, just take
a deep breath.

Okay.
Tell me what happened.

- Somebody took your car?
- Yes.

Ramsey:
He's saying that the people
that carjacked him

were the Boston
Marathon bombers

and they just killed
a police officer.

Mercedes, they have
some kind of GPS device

and it's in the vicinity
of Watertown.

John MacLellan:
This night happened to be
a very, very small shift.

We had four route cars
on the street and myself.

Dispatch:
We got a call
from Cambridge PD.

They just pinged
the vehicle in question
on the carjacking.

It's in the area
of 61 Dexter Ave.

A 2013 Mercedes.

MacLellan:
Myself and the other officers,

we both start heading
towards it.

Officer Reynolds calls out
right away and says,

"Okay, I see the vehicle.
I can see the cruiser."

And I said, "Okay, Joey,
I'm pulling up behind you.

Light them up."

We're thinking a couple
of kids stole a car.

They're gonna
start running.

We're gonna chase them down,
we're gonna lock them up.

I see the Mercedes.
There's a Honda in front of it.

- ( gunfire )
- Officers: Shots fired!
Shots fired! Shots fired!

MacLellan:
I see the flash of the gun.

And they had
a lot of hardware
on their side.

- ( siren wailing )
- Officer: Be advised,
we have multiple shots fired.

Multiple shots fired.

The five or six officers
from Watertown,

none of them had ever
shot their gun before on duty.

( gunfire )

Deveau:
And then the ting, ting.

And it was metallic.

And Joey Reynolds goes,
"Sarge, run. Run!"

( metal scraping )

( explosion )

Officer:
Loud explosion,
loud explosion!

Officer #2:
...and Dexter.

They have explosives,
some type of grenades.

Deveau:
Gunshots coming from
one side of the vehicle,

gunshots coming
from the other side
of the vehicle.

( gunfire )

These Watertown officers
are in the firefight
of their lives.

And they strike
the older brother
with a couple of rounds

and they end up
tackling him.

- Officer:
Show your fucking hands!
- Officer #2: Show your hands!

Ramsey: At the same time
as they're wrestling around
with him on the ground,

the younger brother
gets into the car

and then heads
straight for the officers.

Deveau: Less than a second,
it was right here,
right at us.

Ramsey:
The brother runs over
his own brother,

and he gets drug
for about 25 yards.

Deveau:
The vehicle
just keeps going,

littered with bullets,
up over the hill.

And he's gone.

Ramsey:
The older brother
succumbs to his injuries,

but the younger brother
just disappears into
that neighborhood.

- ( chatter )
- ( siren wailing )

Deveau:
There was a lot of chaos,

but we had those
perimeters up real fast.

We found a vehicle
about three-quarters of a mile
down the street

with the door open.

Reporter:
Boston Marathon bombing--
one suspect killed.

His brother, the subject
of a massive manhunt
in Watertown.

Reporter #2:
Police believe the man
is on foot and likely hiding.

Ramsey: The first time
we learn their names
is at the hospital.

The older brother
is expired

and we roll
the fingerprints.

Within 30 seconds,
we have his name,

we're able to pull up
photos of his brother.

At least we know now
who they are.

( siren wailing )

And there was a massive,
massive response.

Looking at that response,
you would think we were
invading a country.

Ramsey: We're about
to hit rush hour right on
the edge of the city of Boston

where hundreds of thousands
of people are coming out.

Deveau:
We had terrorists
on the run, they had bombs.

We're trying to weigh
the safety of everybody.

And that's where
the decision was made

to shelter-in-place
all the surrounding
cities and towns,

including
the city of Boston.

Deval:
It is important
that folks remain indoors,

keep the doors locked
and not open the door

unless there is
a uniformed,

identified law enforcement
officer on the other side.

Deveau: We had between
3,000 and 4,000 officers
here in Watertown.

And we started
to methodically search
in that 20-block area.

We were going
house-to-house,
door-to-door.

Come outside.

( radio chatter )

Deveau:
So, we complete
the searches by 5:00.

The decision was made
to lift the lockdown.

Deveau:
And less than
40 minutes later,

we received a call
from Dave Henneberry
down on Franklin Street.

Dispatch: 9-1-1,
this line is being recorded.
What's the emergency?

Henneberry:
I have a boat in my yard.

There's blood
all over the inside.

There's a person
in the boat.

Dispatch:
Are you sure?

Henneberry:
I just looked in the boat.

Officer:
We have a person in the boat,
a live party,

who's trying to poke a hole
through the boat.

Deveau: We were getting
video from the helicopter
in the command post.

Officer:
There's definitely
movement in the boat.

Officer #2:
All right, there's definitely
movement in the boat.

Officer:
Get the thermal.

Officer #2:
That's how they're doing it.

( gunfire )

Officer:
Everyone, hold their fire.
Hold their fire.

Officer #2:
All units, hold your fire.
Hold your fire.

The big concern was that

he would have a bomb
strapped to his chest.

Officer:
We need to
evacuate that area.

They're gonna try
and make their way
into the backyard.

All units,
stand by for the bang,
stand by for the bang.

Officer #2:
All units, stand by
for the bang.

Do not return fire.

( explosion )

The decision was made
to shoot flash-bangs.

It's a distraction
technique.

Try to get him
out of the boat.

Officer: All right,
there is movement
on the boat.

Officer #2:
All right, Greenford, copy.

Target sitting up
in the boat.

Further movement,
target sitting up.

Appears to be covered
in blood.

Go ahead.

( officers shouting )

Man:
Medic, medic.

Officer:
10-02, he's in custody.
He's in custody.

- He's in custody.
- Officer #2: Tactical SWAT
to command.

Subject in custody.

Officer:
Subject in custody.
Subject in custody.

( music playing )

- ( siren wailing )
- Reporter: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
was taken

to Boston's Beth Israel
Deaconess Hospital

in serious condition
with multiple gunshot wounds.

Reporter #2:
Federal officials say
the bombing suspect

was transferred overnight
to a prison medical center.

The hospital is
located at Fort Devens,
a former army base.

It sits about
40 miles west...

Reporter #3:
They can continue
to care for him

until he's completely
well enough

to be put
into another prison,

presumably to await trial
here in the Boston area.

( chatter, laughter )

Woman:
Jehovah's Witness,
but besides the point.

- ( chatter continues )
- Aw, thank you.

Jessica:
The one-year anniversary
was a very important milestone.

Physically,
I was not well.

My leg that I had
was a mess.

I was in pain
all the time,

- but trying to put on
a dress and a smile.
- ( applause )

- So, this is
an appreciation soiree.
- ( all laughing )

We have a beautiful
slide show

to really show you the road
that we've been on

and how all of you
have been an incredible
part of our lives.

¶ The days get shorter
and the nights get cold ¶

¶ I like the autumn,
but this place is
getting old ¶

¶ I pack up my belongings
and I head for the coast... ¶

¶ They tried to make me
go to rehab, but I said,
"No, no, no"... ¶

Jessica:
I started to play
this role of,

"I'm supposed to be better.
It's been a year."

And I think
our friends and families
all wanted that for us.

( cheering )

It was easier
to play the part

than to be
really honest with myself
about where I was.

( turn signal ticking )

( sighs )

Patrick:
We were just beginning
to realize

the complexity
of Jess's injury
to her right leg.

And so, we went to
experts around the country
to ask their opinions.

And while they had ideas,

once we sat with them
for a little while,

it didn't seem
terribly practical

because they're
seeing blast injuries
for the first time.

And we need people
who have seen this often.

Jessica:
Who gets blown up?

The military
gets blown up.

Patrick: And it became
so clear that Walter Reed

was the place
that we needed to be.

They had the expertise,

they had the experience
with blast injuries.

( bone cracks )

- Did you hear that? Yeah.
- That just crack?

Jessica:
It's very, very rare

for a civilian
to be at Walter Reed.

And we had to prove that we had
exhausted all of our options
with civilian care.

I've repeatedly been
totally blindsided

by how hard it's been,
how long it's been.

I mean, particularly
blast-related injuries--

complications are more
the norm than the exception.

Most people think
of an amputation
as something that

you get fit with
a prosthesis and you
move on with your life,

and that couldn't be
further from the truth.

You have to think of it
as like a chronic disease.

- Are you with...
- Yeah, well, but I'll
take care of it.

Jessica:
When the team
was evaluating me,

they gave me this book
where I was supposed
to chart every day

all the things
that I was able to do
or stopped doing

or just couldn't even attempt
because of pain.

I think being a nurse,
like, I wanted proof.

I wanted scientific evidence
of why I had to lose this leg.

Eric Moskowitz:
So, this is-- December 26
is today.

- So, you've got,
"Walk Rescue."
- Jessica: Mm-hmm.

Just now, I said,
like, an eight out of 10.

I didn't unload
the groceries,
Patrick did.

Moskowitz:
Is that-- your energy was low
or your pain was high or both?

Jessica: Pain was high.
Oh, and I walked
to get a coffee.

- Moskowitz: Oh, no,
that's activities avoided.
- Oh, I didn't go.

Moskowitz:
Yeah.

Moskowitz:
She was in this emotionally
wrenching decision.

You know,
and Jess sort of...

let me in enough
to see that as they were
going through it.

Jessica:
The book just gave me
this glaring evidence.

But how much
more permanent can you get,
sawing off a leg?

There is
no turning back.

And they're hoping
it's gonna make things better,

but there are
no guarantees.

Patrick:
We just saw and felt

Jess's exhaustion
and desperation.

She was really
getting sucked dry.

Patrick:
No matter how much
you loved having a leg

and loved, you know,
having toes to do things
like stick them in the sand,

she was in so much pain,

it became hard for her
to go about her life.

Jessica:
This was certainly the most
scary decision I've ever made.

I had to believe in it
as much as I could

and just let go.

( birds chirping )

Sydney:
I have so many scars
from the marathon.

This is where a piece
of shrapnel hit me.

Those weren't placed there
by my choice...

( camera shutter clicking )

...so these tattoos
are kind of

a cathartic way
for me to mark my body
the way I want to.

Celeste:
My daughter had been
through a car accident

and almost died.

And this coming
right on the heels of it,

she was suicidal
for a while.

Sydney:
I felt as if the universe
didn't want me here.

It really made me feel

that I had no control
over anything,

so I tried to control
what went into my body.

( clears throat )

Eating has been...

a bit of a challenge,
to be completely honest.

Um...

Sydney:
My eating disorder
has always manifested

whenever something traumatic
does happen.

But there was something
about the bombing.

My eating disorder amplified
10 times more.

I am still battling...

but for my whole family
to be together,

I don't know what I would do
without them.

( camera shutter clicking )

- Hi, John.
- Hey! How you doing?

- ( laughs )
- Oh. Syd.

- Hi! So good
to see you.
- I know.

- So, I got an updated book.
- Oh, my gosh.

- Yeah. I don't know--
- Oh, my gosh.

There's more photos
in there.

- Celeste: Wow. Wow.
- You know what I mean?

Uncle John.
John, why don't
you come on inside

and we'll tell you
all about it.

Sydney:
Oh, my God!

Every time
I see that picture,
I remember your tears

- 'cause you were
crying so much.
- Yeah.

- Sydney: Aw.
- That was the best hug
anybody could ever have.

- Oh, look.
- This was right around
Christmastime last year.

Celeste:
At Carmen's.
I have the same shirt on.

( laughs )
And look, life goes on.

Oh.
Kevin, you look sad.

Tlumacki:
I know, you look sad, Kevin.
What are you thinking?

Kevin:
I was thinking
about the girls.

Will we ever
be us again?

And I knew
we wouldn't.

Tyler:
It's taken
a huge toll on my dad.

He was head-to-toe

just covered in blood.

And there were
pieces of skin and hair
burnt onto his clothing.

He held on
pretty strong,

but he started
to unravel.

He turned to alcohol.

We felt like
we lost him.

Kevin:
You're powerless,
absolutely helpless.

I wish I could have
protected them somehow,

and my inability
to change

and give them back
what they had

is-- it's hard.

Kevin:
You like to think
you have it in check, you know,

but there's no way
you can erase what you saw.

Celeste:
Everybody has
post-traumatic stress.

We go to therapy.

We just try
and work through it
as best we can.

- Therapist: Is that better?
- Jessica: Yeah, I think so.
It's just hard.

Therapist:
So, it's lots of core and lots
of stability on this side.

That side is really weak.

( exhales )

Jessica:
Not having legs makes
everything we do harder.

When I am
at my most vulnerable,

I just kind of

shut up and suck it up
and try to get through it.

Patrick:
That's it.

- Almost there.
- Watch, watch.

- Man: That's it, Vadir.
- Whoo!

Jessica:
Being at Walter Reed,

most of them,
their injuries are
far worse than anything

that any of the survivors
from the bombing
have experienced.

So, when you see that,

it snaps you out of your funk
pretty quickly.

And I think we've both
been surprised

by the kinds of friendships
that we've made there.

Man:
I don't know if you heard,
but I did over 1,000.

See it in his face,
right there.

It's like you're Rafiki
holding Simba up.

You gotta just...
( exhales )

- Game face.
- Keep your arms straight.

Patrick:
I have attempted every day
to remind myself and ourselves

of the fact that
we're guests at Walter Reed.

And to be welcomed
by them,

it's, like, one
of the greatest honors
that I've ever been a part of.

This a bomb, an IED.

No different than
what we've experienced
in Afghanistan

on U.S. soil.

In my line of work,
it's an occupational hazard,

but they were
on home soil in Boston.

Should never
have happened.

Michael Buffer:
Let's get ready to rumble!

- Everyone ready?
- No.

- Yes.
- Jessica: Let's go.
Push-up club.

- Man: Up three, one down?
- Yeah.

Man:
Push up!

Ready, exercise!

- One, two, three.
- All: One!

- One, two, three.
- All: Two!

- One, two, three.
- All: Three!

- This is what you asked...
- All: Four!

J.P.:
My girlfriend, Kelly, and I,
we're gonna get married,

and I was trying
to figure out

the best way
to provide for us.

All you get told
in the hospital

is how expensive
prosthetics are.

They can range
from $10,000 to $150,000,

and you need a leg
every three to five years.

You don't know
if you're gonna work again.

Hey.

What's that pallet
all from?

That's the tub
and all the fixtures.

J.P.:
I couldn't do the labor
like I was doing before,

so I was thinking
about starting a company.

I was talking
to Jimma Allen.

He was the EMT
who saved my life,

and we've been friends
ever since.

He was telling me
how he was interested

in doing an addition
on his house.

So I'm like,
"What, did someone mess with you
and tell you to say that to me?"

And he's like, "No. Why?"
And I'm like, "Well, you know,
I'm opening my own company."

And he showed me plans
and he's like, "Let's do it."

That became
my first job.

It felt really cool
to give something
back to Jimma

that he couldn't do
for himself.

Now I get to rebuild
his house.

He helped me
rebuild my life.

( chatter )

( piano playing )

Liz: All the amputees
from the marathon are
so very close.

Most of them came
to J.P.'s wedding.

Although we met them
a short time ago,

they're like family.

( applause )

( cheering, whistling )

Jessica:
When someone does have
a great moment,

I feel like
we're all celebrating.

And if I was gonna
try dancing

on two high-heel
prosthetic legs,

I was gonna be somewhere
where there was seven
other amputees

to help scrape me up
off the floor.

( camera shutter clicks )

Liz: Paul and J.P.,
their lives have
forever changed,

but they have accepted it

and they've moved on
with their life.

- I just find it hard.
- Reporter: ...some of
their stories

and some of their
reactions as well.

It's been a fantastic
Marathon Monday
here at Forum.

Again, we're here
till 4:00.

- Come down and join us.
- ( explosion )

( people screaming )

Woman:
Something happened.
Holy shit!

( explosion )

Liz:
I have probably watched
that video 3,000 times.

The first time,
I physically threw up.

And then the second time,
I cried and then I got angry.

Just watch it
all the time.

It consumed my life.

It was crazy to see
how close they were,

and my J.P.
was, like, literally
elbow-to-elbow with him.

He's right
in the circle with him.

My boys wanted me
to let go of the marathon,

but I wanted to know
what happened to them and why.

Reporter: We were
trying to put together
some sort of profile

of what Tamerlan Tsarnaev
and his younger brother
were all about,

why they did
what they did.

Reporter #2:
Both of the brothers
were athletes.

One was a wrestler,
one was into boxing.

Reporter #3:
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev,

the man in the white hat,
he is 19 years old.

Reporter #4:
He's a quiet student who never
talked politics, and a pothead.

He's a student
at UMass Dartmouth

who lived in
the Pine Dale dorms.

Reporter #5:
Older brother left school
in order to pursue boxing.

He was actually
a competitive boxer
here in the United States.

Reporter #6:
The Tsarnaev family
moved from Dagestan,

a republic in Russia's
North Caucasus.

David Filipov:
Well, now, wait a minute.
How did these guys get here?

What were they doing?

What was the family
trying to do?

So, we were trying

to put together a picture
of what had gone wrong.

Who are these people?

Where'd this
messed up family come from?

Man:
Would you like
to state your name?

Tamerlan.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev.

( crowd cheering )

Filipov: "I was gonna
become the boxer that
my dad never became."

Announcer:
Heavyweight
all-ring champion...

Filipov:
"And I was
going to make money,

and that's what's
gonna set us up."

That failed.

Now he's looking
for greater meaning,

some struggle
that's gonna matter.

And then he found
his calling.

"I wanna
change the world

and blow people up
in the name of Islam.

Now I'm serving my purpose,
this greater purpose."

You hear this profile
very often

in people who join
radical, destructive causes.

Major development
in the Boston bombing
investigation.

We now know that at least two
American security organizations

were tipped off
by the Russians.

Ramsey:
It came in as foreign
government information

that said Tamerlan Tsarnaev
was possibly becoming
a bad guy,

may go back to where he's from
to do bad things.

If you have any information
that could help us,
please do so.

This is very low-level
information.

But we did everything
that we were allowed
and able to do,

and we saw nothing there.

Filipov:
It is true that
at the beginning of 2012,

Tamerlan Tsarnaev
shows up in Dagestan,

possibly saying,
"Put me in touch
with the radicals."

But he doesn't come
anywhere near the radicals,
to the jihadists.

There wasn't a cell.

There isn't
a pipeline from Dagestan
to the United States

that's producing
more of these.

He is homegrown.

It can happen again
to anyone who's got
a computer.

We know that they read
"Inspire" magazine.

Woman:
What is this magazine,
"Inspire"?

Woman #2:
It was done by
the American-born jihadists,

and what they wanted to do
was target English-speaking,
young American Muslim men.

It's everything from
profiling jihadist heroes

to how to build a bomb
in the kitchen of your mom.

Patricia Wen:
He was described
like a teenager

that was not much different
than my son and his friends.

And there was
this notion that, wow,

just one day, he becomes
this violent jihadist.

Before that, he was
this wrestling team captain

at a Cambridge
public high school.

People felt that Tamerlan
was the mastermind,

that he was almost like
the bully that ordered
Dzhokhar to do this.

But Dzhokhar did not
exactly obey his brother.

Tamerlan was on his case
to pray more, party less
for quite a while,

and Dzhokhar
went ahead and became

a fairly significant
pot dealer on campus.

Filipov:
Dzhokhar wrote in the boat,

this is justification

for what America does
to Muslims in the world.

Filipov:
They decided that
in the name of their faith,

it's okay to be blowing up
eight-year-old kids.

And that's
what makes them monsters.

Wen:
A large segment
of the population around here

did not want
to know anything more
about the bombers.

Filipov:
And so, here I am,

a newspaper reporter
writing a story.

The story comes out.
I got hate mail.

"How dare you write that!

You have no idea
what it must feel like
for the victims.

I hope the Muslims blow
one of your loved ones up.

Then you'll know
what it's like."

Well, I guess
I understand.

Ever turn on the TV
on September 11th?

So, I've watched
that plane

fly into that building
probably 500 times.

And my dad was in it.

Filipov:
And I can't avoid it.

I can't
get away from it,

because everybody
wants to know,

"How did it happen?"

My God,
I understand that.

( crying )

Filipov:
Why did we do
this story?

'Cause we had
to figure out
what's next

and how do we prevent this
from happening.

And the only way
to do that is figure out
who these people are.

And we failed
because we didn't get
the moment when he said,

"Okay, I'm gonna blow up
the Boston Marathon."

And this is our--

Mom, did you
bring any other paper
that was upstairs?

Okay.

This is cute paper.

- Sweetie?
- Katy Kensky: Yes, hon?

- Who's this one for?
- That's to Jessica
from Santa.

- Jessica: He came early?
- ( chuckles )

Katy:
We were initially so relieved
they were still alive.

I struggle more now
because I see how
permanent it is.

Can we help you?

Yeah.

Katy:
I get to do more
with Jessica,

but it reminds me, too,
of what she can't do.

Okay, already
this is challenging,
wrapping sitting down.

Patrick:
Look at all
this material here.

Now, what if you
rotated it the other way?

- Here.
- No, I-- no,
you've got it.

- I'm gonna get it now.
- I know.

Herman Kensky:
She was the caretaker.

She took care
of everybody.

When I was sick,
when her grandma was sick,

then she knew in her head
that she was gonna be

- the one to take care of us.
- Mm-hmm.

And, uh...

that's hard for her.

Rescue,
are you ready?

You hungry?

Katy:
In August, she got to run
for the first time.

And then she drove us
to these wineries
out in Virginia,

and then we had,
you know, a lovely dinner
at the end of the day.

And I remember thinking that,
"You know what?

The people were right,
it does get better.

I never thought we would have
a magical day like this again,

and here it is."

And as soon as we left her
to go back to California...

- Days later.
- ...she started with
all her physical problems.

Jessica:
There's something
about my anatomy.

My bones keep resorbing
and forming all these
kinds of pokey bones,

and it's not
allowing me to heal.

Every time
I went back to the OR,

it's about
a six-week recovery,

so I've been in the wheelchair
pretty regularly.

Yikes.

God, I-- I, you know,
I hate to--

I know how much
you love to have surgery,

but, you know,

I mean, if you're working
against your anatomy here...

- Right.
- ...I think you've gotta do
something to correct that.

Jessica:
I've reached this point

where the care team
at Walter Reed can't
figure it out either.

I guess how I'm feeling
today is just...
( sniffles )

I'm just really tired.
( sobs )

Um...

I'm just really tired.

I think I just ran out
of hope and energy.

Um...

I don't know,
I was looking at--

kind of killing time
on Facebook this morning,

and the thing pops up
that tells you

four years ago today,

I posted a picture
that Patrick and I had
just gotten engaged.

It's so sad
to look at that picture

because we were so happy.

I would
do anything to go back.
( sniffles )

( music playing )

Patrick: It feels
like a whole nother
lifetime ago, somehow.

Patrick:
All of a sudden,
your body's torn apart.

Your relationships change.

Your idea
of the future changes.

Patrick:
The way you see the world
is so different.

Patrick:
Really, it's
an identity crisis.

Jessica:
Being an amputee
is my identity right now.

Every single one
of our good friends have
had a baby since the bombing.

For me, it's been
the most...

kind of
"dagger to the heart"
subject.

This is our reality.

This is our real life.

Celeste:
I miss them a lot.

I miss them--
I miss them all the time.

Some days,
all I see are feet.

Everybody's got legs.

You almost feel
less of you.

I used to maybe
sometimes walk with
a strut or something,

you know, if I felt like
I looked good or whatever,

and now I feel like
I walk like a freak.

Kevin:
I believe just two.
Two, right?

Two bags
we're checking. Yep.

I've always loved,
loved the beach.

It just killed me
that my toes weren't
gonna be in the sand.

So I called my prosthetist
in Florida, and I said,

"Is it possible-- I've heard
that there's such a thing
as, like, beach legs."

So he said,
"Absolutely."

So, what we did is we took
a high-density foam

and put it into a triangle,
and then sprayed it
with a seal.

- Yeah.
- And so, not only
does it add float now...

Exactly. The water
displaces away from it.

Tyler:
Run, Forrest.

Run, Forrest, run.

Tyler: Run!

Gotta walk
before you can run.

- Thank you. ( chuckles )
- Celeste: Can he stand
a heart attack?

Kevin!

- I just-- it's been--
- She wants to run.

You signed
the waiver, right?

- ( laughs )
- Celeste: Ready?

Them watching me

accomplish things
that I hadn't done before

kind of heals
everybody.

( Celeste and Stan
laughing )

Should we break
a bottle of champagne
over the legs first?

Yeah, we might
get in trouble for that.

- The maiden voyage.
- Glass in the pool.

( Celeste laughs )

( music playing )

Celeste:
I don't feel
as clunky and clumsy,

and it gives me
a sense of-- of peace.

The beach
has always been

a special,
special place for me.

With my beach legs,
I could walk on the sand.

Nobody had to carry me
on their back.

It was like--
kind of like, you know,
being the old Celeste.

( kids laughing,
shouting )

Reporter:
A panel of 12 jurors
and six alternates

was chosen
following nearly two months
of jury selection.

Tsarnaev is
charged with carrying out
the finish line bombings

that killed three
and injured more than
260 people

at the 2013
Boston Marathon.

If Tsarnaev is found guilty,
he could face the death
penalty.

Wen:
Even though we are not
a death penalty state,

the trial was
in federal court

and death penalty is at play
if it's a terrorist case,

so that was on the line
for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

Kevin Cullen:
This is not about acquitting

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

This is about avoiding
the death penalty.

In Judy Clark's opening,

the most shocking thing--
or set the tone for the trial--

was when she said
he did it.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev

did put a bomb
on Boylston,

did cause carnage,
did kill three people there.

She said, "There's little
we dispute.

All we're talking about,
really, is why."

Cullen:
The evidence
is so overwhelming.

Jessica:
I was asked to testify.

I wish that I had
the opportunity to walk
into the courtroom.

They had Jess
identify and circle me
on a teleprompter.

But instead
she drew a heart,

and the entire courtroom
just started laughing.

I remember
the prosecutor saying,

"Ms. Kensky,
that is not a circle."

So much
was taken from us,

but not my sense of humor
and not my wit.

( Celeste sighs )

In a way,
I-- I dreaded the trial

because it stirred up
so many emotions.

But those terrorists,

they cannot win.

Sydney:
I just wanna tell my story

and make sure that he knows
that I'm not afraid of him,

and I want him to know
that he did not break me.

It made me feel like
I was in charge for once.

Cullen:
What came through is
these extraordinary stories

of-- of first responders

and ordinary people
coming and rising above

and saving lives.

There were 90 people

who were transported
to the hospital within
30 minutes.

90 people
who could have died--

that's how serious
their injuries were--

and everyone
that was transported
to a hospital survived.

Liz:
I went every day
by myself.

It was something
I had to do.

I wanted to know
everything I could find out

about who and why
and how they did it.

Cullen:
The defense wanted
to establish

he was in
a crazy household,

surrounded by irresponsible,
crazy people.

Parents moving
back to Dagestan.

Dzhokhar being left here
with the older brother

as the only older influence
in his life.

The defense theory was
that the big brother
made him do it.

The prosecutor
said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
was radicalized on his own.

He didn't need
his big brother

to read stuff
that was put out
by Al-Qaeda.

He did it on his own.

Dzhokhar paid
for the rental

of two .9 millimeter guns
like the Ruger that was used

and that the both of them
engaged in target practice
at a gun range.

Cullen:
This evidence--

so much of this stuff
is actually on videotape.

Cullen:
Nothing captured the horror
of what happened that day

than to listen
to the sound.

( sighs )

I remember at one point
hearing, um,

Krystle Campbell's
death wail.

And, um,

it just--
I just, you know,

it sounds like a cliché
when you say something
cuts through you,

but I remember
hearing that,

and it felt like something
passed through me.

Krystle Campbell,
a 29-year-old woman
from Medford,

so loved by her friends
that she was a bridesmaid
17 times.

The prosecutor asked
Bill Campbell,

"What do you miss most
about Krystle?"

And he said, "The hug.
She hugged me every day."

Sean Collier's family
testified.

Sean's mother couldn't
get out of bed for months.

Lingzi Lu,
the Chinese graduate student

at Boston University,
was an only child.

Imagine that--
Lingzi's parents allow her
to come to America

and are proud of her
beyond their dreams,

and then she doesn't
come home.

The government
wanted to show

that Tsarnaev did not
just kill Sean Collier,

he did not just kill
Lingzi Lu,

he killed a part
of these families,

that there was something
missing from these families

that would never allow them
to be the families
they were before.

David Abel:
The entire Richard family

experienced that horror
on that day.

The family lost their
eight-year-old son, Martin.

Jane lost her leg.

Henry had
witnessed it all.

Denise lost
one of her eyes.

Bill,
much of his hearing.

Bill:
The Boston Marathon

was always a special day
for our family--

the start of spring,
a T ride into the city
to cheer on the runners.

We didn't miss many, if any,
over the last 10 years.

Abel:
The Richard family

went to the Boston Marathon
year after year.

It was the family
tradition.

They were there to cheer
for other people.

I-- I wasn't really sure
how it was gonna look
kid-size.

Abel: There was
this picture that emerged
in the immediate aftermath

of this eight-year-old boy

holding up a sign that said,
"No more hurting people.

Peace."

And that was
the ultimate symbol

of what we lost
and what was attacked.

Cullen:
The prosecutor
provided the cutline.

She said,
"This is Dzhokhar Tsarnaev,

unconcerned, unrepentant,
and unchanged.

Without remorse,
he remains untouched

by the grief and the loss
that he caused.

And without assistance,

he remains
the unrepentant killer
that he is."

Wen:
I was covering
the trial every day

'cause I thought,
"You know what?

I'm gonna learn more.

This'll help me
figure out

the psychological mystery
of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

But after listening
to every word of testimony,

I still couldn't
really figure out

how a kid who had
a potentially promising future

could commit
such a horrendous,
violent act.

What was
that tipping point?

Cullen:
The prosecutor said,
"There is no explanation

for how heinous the acts
that this fella committed

except in his character.

That is why the death penalty
is appropriate and just."

The defense said,

"Even if Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
believed in an eye for an eye,

even if he still
believes that,"

she said,
"that's not who we are."

Cullen: The Richards
sent an open letter to
"The Boston Globe"

in which they explained
why they believe

that the death penalty
should be taken off the table.

Jessica:
Their family suffered
horrendously that day.

And here they are,
saying they do not want
this guy to be put to death.

I did not want him to ever
be able to hurt anybody
ever again

and I wanted him
to just disappear

from our public consciousness
as quickly as possible.

And we felt
the best way to achieve
those two goals

was for him
to be sentenced to prison
for the rest of his life.

( birds chirping )

Reporter:
The Boston Marathon
bombing jury

has returned to the courtroom
with a verdict--

a decision of whether
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
will live or die.

We do not know
what that verdict is
quite yet,

but we expect that we will
in just a few minutes.

Now we are getting word
from the courtrooms.

This is breaking news--
we are getting word from
the courtroom now,

that on at least
some counts,

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev,
21 years old,

19 at the time
of the bombing,

has been sentenced
to death.

Tsarnaev, now 21,

and the youngest of 74 people
now on Federal death row,

but the execution, though,
not any time soon.

- ( sobbing )
- Years of appeals
expected in this,

the first death penalty
conviction of a terrorist

in the post-9/11 age.

Reporter #2:
This was a two-step process.

They had to prove
the aggravating factor,
and the prosecution did.

- And then there were those
mitigating factors...
- Oh, my God.

- Oh.
- ( Celeste mumbling )

No, I'm in shock.

- I'm in fucking shock.
- Celeste: I am, too.

Celeste:
I was never in favor
of the death penalty.

But in this
particular instance,

I absolutely want him
put to death.

Reporter:
...yes, that his family
was the aggravating factor...

Celeste:
There's no winners.

It doesn't
make me happy.

People are still dead.

But for someone
to have done what he did,

in my opinion,
you don't deserve to live.

Liz:
It was no secret.
I wanted the death penalty.

The trial gave me
a sense of, uh, justice.

When I first started
to do it,

I started it
from the first--

that was
the first article.

They did so much
in such little time,

I just wanted them
to have something,

but to me, it's--

it's a sad book to me.

But, you know,
when they have kids,

maybe their son or daughter
will wanna know what
happened to them

and, you know,
maybe the Boston Marathon
will be in history books.

And it's all right here.

Jessica:
Well, it is
Saturday, April...

- 9th.
- ...9th.

And we decided
to head back to Boston

a little bit earlier
than we planned initially,

'cause we have--

well, we have, like,
a couple commitments
here and there,

and then I guess we--
you have something.

- Yeah, in, like, a week or so.
- In, like, a week or so.

Uh, what is that again?

It's a--
it's a race.

It's-- it's, like,
a little 5K thing.

- Little jaunt.
- What's it called, though?

It has that name.

Um...

- I thought it was called--
- Well, it's in Boston.

Oh, it's the marathon.
The Boston Marathon.

Oh, yeah!
You'll be doing
the Boston Marathon.

- That's the 26.2 miles.
- Yeah.

- I thought
it was the 5K.
- Yeah.

Female voice:
Please say a command.

- ( GPS beeps )
- Jessica: Destination-- home.

Female voice:
Destination-- home.

Jessica:
Looks good.
Eight hours.

440 miles.

- Plenty of podcasts.
- Plenty of podcasts.

You're the only one
with a right leg, buddy,

so it looks like
it's just you today.

( chuckles )
I'm the only one with a leg.

- That's true.
- Except for Rescue.

- We got Rescue back there.
- Yeah.

All right.

( camera shutter clicking )

Patrick:
When I'm out there running,

I think about
the terrorist acts that
have happened since Boston.

What can we do to make this
not happen again?

What do we learn
from this?

We now have
this very strange expertise

in being blown-up,

so when this happens
to someone else,

I hope that I can contribute
to their healing in some way.

Jessica:
I don't know that we could be
in more different places.

I just can't believe
that I'm sitting here,

now three years
after the bombing,

and haven't really achieved
walking on a regular basis.

Patrick:
I didn't even
wanna start running

before Jess
started to walk.

But Jess said,
"You're ready

and it's time for you
to keep pushing yourself, too."

Jessica: I absolutely
wanna see Patrick run
the Boston Marathon...

but I don't wanna
be seen.

I don't feel
like seeing people.

I don't wanna...
( sighs )

He's my husband
and I love him

and I wanna
be there for him,

but it's--

it's hard when I'm feeling
so different than he is.

Man:
Okay, so, quick,
everybody for the marathon...

Mathieu:
Monday, Patriots' Day.
We thank you for joining us.

WBZ News time-- 7:31.

It has a population
of about 15,000,

and nearly twice
that many runners

are gathering in Hopkinton
this morning

for the start
of the Boston Marathon.

WBZ's Mark Katic has...

( chatter )

Patrick: Through a lot
of what's happened over
the last three years,

I've just kind of
put my head down
to keep moving,

because if we really stop
and think about it
for too long,

it's pretty demoralizing.

As a kid,
I was always able to express
emotions through sport,

and this seems like a way
for me to do that again.

I can carry the spirit
of the four guardian angels
who were killed.

I can carry the spirit
of our families and friends,

our city.

I can carry
Jess's spirit with me.

( cheering )

Reporter:
Let's go to Hopkinton now

for the start of
the mobility-impaired runners.

- ( starting gun fires )
- ( crowd cheering )

J.P.: I didn't have
any intentions on really
going back to the marathon.

But this year,
my wife's gonna run
the marathon.

I'd like to be
at the finish line
to meet her.

( crowd cheering )

( whistling )

Woman: Here we go.
Boston Strong.
Here we go!

- This is Clark.
Clark, this is Celeste.
- Hi. Nice to meet you.

- She's another friend
from the marathon bombing.
- Oh, okay.

- Clark's a friend
from Walter Reed.
- Awesome.

( music playing )

Liz:
Everything's different
from April 15th.

Their lives
have forever changed.

All of our lives.

But this is my life now.
This is our life.

Celeste:
That finish line

had been such a happy place
for so many people.

And they took that away.

And this year,
we claimed that back.

- 38.7.
- Did he?

- Patrick. 38.7. Yeah.
- It's there?

Clark:
Oh, my gosh.
I'm, like, getting nervous.

( whistling )

- Man: Hey, all right.
- Oh, I see him.

- You see him?
- Yeah.

They're on this side.

Woman:
You did it!

Patrick!

Go, Patrick!

Patrick!

( crying )

There's a good boy.

- What's up, big boy?
- Man: Good job, Patrick.

Celeste.

- You go, Patrick!
- You got it, dude.
Awesome.

- Awesome job...
- ( conversation continues )

( indistinct chatter
over P.A. )

( music playing )

Good job, Lou!

( no audio )
