I'm so sorry.

- Based on our exam
and his last EEG,
43
00:01:52,029 --> 00:01:53,781
it appears that our John Doe

from Locked-In Syndrome.
45
00:01:55,908 --> 00:01:57,576

when part of the brain stem
is permanently damaged.

00:02:00,162 --> 00:02:02,915

which we know John Doe had.

that JD's cognitive abilities

- It's just like the
Martin Pistorius case.

I told her
she didn't need to come.

Last thing I need is for my wife

he got home from his deployment.

- A lot of days, I'm fine,
but then there are days

when I go to lace my shoes
and I just...

Uh, what's in there?

I've got everything documented.

you've been to the VA.
100
00:04:07,331 --> 00:04:08,832
Were there any help at all?
101
00:04:08,832 --> 00:04:10,167
- Um, they gave him some meds
102
00:04:10,167 --> 00:04:11,919
for anxiety and depression,
103
00:04:11,919 --> 00:04:15,506
but he didn't like how they
made him feel, so he stopped.

When you break down,
are there any physical symptoms?
107
00:04:24,473 --> 00:04:27,559
Headache, heart palpitations,
blurry vision?
108
00:04:27,559 --> 00:04:30,062
- Sometimes.
A bit more lately.
109

His funeral was last week.

- Steve told me he wanted kids
on our first date.
121

I want to get it under control
before our son is born.
125
00:05:10,477 --> 00:05:12,646
- Well, we're here to help,
and the first step
126
00:05:12,646 --> 00:05:16,442
is determining
a correct diagnosis.
127
00:05:16,442 --> 00:05:19,028
- He's clearly withholding
something to protect his wife,
128
00:05:19,028 --> 00:05:22,740
but based off his symptoms,
my first thought was PTSD.
129
00:05:22,740 --> 00:05:25,409
That would explain his
hypervigilance, his insomnia,
130
00:05:25,409 --> 00:05:27,202
his intrusive thoughts,
131
00:05:27,202 --> 00:05:29,496
his grief over losing
his friend Aiden.
132
00:05:29,496 --> 00:05:32,583
It's very common for people
with PTSD to relive trauma
133
00:05:32,583 --> 00:05:34,376
Can make you feel like
you're living in the past
134
00:05:34,376 --> 00:05:36,253
and the present
all at the same time.
135
00:05:36,253 --> 00:05:37,880
Kind of like someone I know.
136
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,507
- Okay, the VA already
treated him for PTSD--
137
00:05:40,507 --> 00:05:43,302
trauma-based CBT,
EMDR, exposure therapy,
138
00:05:43,302 --> 00:05:45,721
multiple SSRIs, even prazosin.
139
00:05:45,721 --> 00:05:48,682
What if PTSD
is only part of the story?
140
00:05:48,682 --> 00:05:51,351
It doesn't account
for all of his symptoms,
namely his delusions.
141
00:05:51,351 --> 00:05:53,103
Remember--
he's been seeing ghosts.
142
00:05:53,103 --> 00:05:55,773
- PTSD could be present in an
underlying neurological issue,
143
00:05:55,773 --> 00:05:58,150
like a tumor or--
or hydrocephalus.
144
00:05:58,150 --> 00:06:00,861
- He hasn't had a recent MRI,
but at least his CT scans
145
00:06:00,861 --> 00:06:02,446
didn't show anything
too concerning.
146
00:06:02,446 --> 00:06:04,281
It can be an episode
from psychosis
147
00:06:04,281 --> 00:06:06,033
due to schizophrenia
or bipolar disorder.
148
00:06:06,033 --> 00:06:08,911
- His age is a little unusual for
a schizophrenic first break.
149
00:06:08,911 --> 00:06:10,913
No history of mania.
150
00:06:10,913 --> 00:06:13,248
Uh, what about
frontotemporal dementia?
151
00:06:13,248 --> 00:06:16,293
- It could be early enough
that he's not showing
any of the telltale signs.

00:06:16,293 --> 00:06:18,045
- Well, all possibilities.
We need more data.

Look into this Aiden fellow,
see if he was treated
for similar symptoms.
156
00:06:25,010 --> 00:06:27,346
In order to understand
Steve's present condition,
157
00:06:27,346 --> 00:06:28,847
we need to know his past.

Can you tell us--
are you in pain?
341
00:15:03,862 --> 00:15:06,197
- Do you know where you are?
342
00:15:07,407 --> 00:15:09,326
{\an8}Oh.
- Okay. Let's ask him again
343
00:15:09,326 --> 00:15:11,328
{\an8}to make sure
he's answering correctly.
344
00:15:11,328 --> 00:15:14,914
- Um, tell me again.
Can you hear me?
345
00:15:19,961 --> 00:15:22,422
- Are you in pain, sir?
346
00:15:24,007 --> 00:15:26,593
- JD, can you look up?
347
00:15:27,886 --> 00:15:29,304
- I think he's feeling anxious.
348
00:15:29,304 --> 00:15:31,640
- What you're feeling is me--
all the time.
349
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,892
Welcome to my amygdala.
350
00:15:35,268 --> 00:15:36,853
- [ Siren wails ]
- I got some intel.
351
00:15:36,853 --> 00:15:38,438
My Navy buddy
couldn't give me much.
352
00:15:38,438 --> 00:15:40,023
As expected, the military
is pretty buttoned-up,
353
00:15:40,023 --> 00:15:41,399
but I was able
to find out a little,
354
00:15:41,399 --> 00:15:43,526
and it turns out
that Dr. Moore was right.
355
00:15:43,526 --> 00:15:47,113
- Steve and his unit
never saw any combat?
356
00:15:47,113 --> 00:15:48,657
- It's a relatively new
strategy--
357
00:15:48,657 --> 00:15:50,617
minimize the number
of soldiers on the ground
358
00:15:50,617 --> 00:15:53,036
while units like Steve's pound
the enemy with artillery fire.
359
00:15:53,036 --> 00:15:55,205
- So he was miles away
from the front lines.
360
00:15:55,205 --> 00:15:56,873
- Which is why he and his unit
361
00:15:56,873 --> 00:15:58,500
never suffered
any combat-related injuries.
362
00:15:58,500 --> 00:16:02,087
Not one single casualty
during their deployment.
363
00:16:02,087 --> 00:16:05,173
And, yet,
since returning home...
364
00:16:05,173 --> 00:16:07,300
- What?
365
00:16:07,300 --> 00:16:09,219
- It wasn't just Aiden Miller.
366
00:16:09,219 --> 00:16:11,971
More than half the unit is dead.
367
00:16:13,515 --> 00:16:15,684
Some from unintended
drug overdose,
368
00:16:15,684 --> 00:16:17,644
but others by suicide.
369
00:16:17,644 --> 00:16:18,937
- Hi, babe.
- How you doing?
370
00:16:18,937 --> 00:16:21,231
- How'd it go?
- Dr. Warner...
371
00:16:21,231 --> 00:16:22,899
- Something happened to him.
372
00:16:22,899 --> 00:16:25,485
- Something happened
to all of them.
373
00:16:31,533 --> 00:16:32,951
- We have a normal MRI.
- With severe delusions.
374
00:16:32,951 --> 00:16:35,578
- But their unit was decimated
by something.
375
00:16:35,578 --> 00:16:37,539
I mean, the rate of descent--
it's like it's
376
00:16:37,539 --> 00:16:39,833
Lewy Body Dementia,
early-onset Alzheimer's.
377
00:16:39,833 --> 00:16:42,711
It almost reminds me
of some former football
players I've seen.
378
00:16:42,711 --> 00:16:46,506
If I didn't know better, I'd say
Steve was suffering from CTE.
379
00:16:47,674 --> 00:16:48,883
- What'd you say?
380
00:16:48,883 --> 00:16:50,260
- Chronic Traumatic
Encephalopathy.
381
00:16:50,260 --> 00:16:52,387
- Yeah, no,
I know what CTE is, Wolf.
382
00:16:52,387 --> 00:16:54,139
It's just that that's
a sound theory. That
would explain a lot.
383
00:16:54,139 --> 00:16:56,015
- Mood swings,
cognitive impairment, paranoia.
384
00:16:56,015 --> 00:16:57,350
But he wasn't an athlete.
385
00:16:57,350 --> 00:16:59,102
He was never
in a serious accident.
386
00:16:59,102 --> 00:17:02,063
If he was never in combat,
how is CTE possible?
387
00:17:02,772 --> 00:17:05,400
- I want to show you something.
388
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,193
[ Gunshot ]
389
00:17:11,322 --> 00:17:13,199
I'm gonna assume you've never
handled one of these before?
390
00:17:13,199 --> 00:17:15,577
- Uh, no.
- Okay. Safety 101.
391
00:17:15,577 --> 00:17:17,328
Always treat the gun
as if it's loaded.
392
00:17:17,328 --> 00:17:19,205
Always keep the gun
pointed in a safe direction.
393
00:17:19,205 --> 00:17:20,999
And always keep your finger
off the trigger
394
00:17:20,999 --> 00:17:22,625
till you're ready to shoot, okay?
395
00:17:22,625 --> 00:17:25,503
- I'm really seeing
the military in you now.
396
00:17:26,755 --> 00:17:28,715
What was that like?
397
00:17:28,715 --> 00:17:30,133
- It was good for me.
398
00:17:30,133 --> 00:17:31,760
Whipped me into shape
when I needed it.
399
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,511
Forced me out of the house,
away from my parents.
400
00:17:33,511 --> 00:17:36,097
And, um, I got really close
with a lot of the guys.
401
00:17:36,097 --> 00:17:37,974
One in particular.
402
00:17:37,974 --> 00:17:40,518
- What about
"Don't Ask, Don't Tell"?
403
00:17:42,687 --> 00:17:43,897
- Not ideal.
404
00:17:43,897 --> 00:17:47,567
But, um, we found a way
to make it work.
405
00:17:49,402 --> 00:17:51,070
- Okay.
406
00:17:52,238 --> 00:17:54,991
- That's right.
Just gonna put your thumb...
407
00:17:54,991 --> 00:17:57,911
There you go. Okay. Now put
the front sight on the target.
408
00:17:57,911 --> 00:18:00,413
Bracket it by the rear sight.
409
00:18:03,124 --> 00:18:05,418
Okay. Squeeze the trigger.
410
00:18:09,839 --> 00:18:11,090
- The impact. The shock.
411
00:18:11,090 --> 00:18:13,176
It's like a blast wave
through my arms.
412
00:18:13,176 --> 00:18:16,346
- Now imagine that from a gun
a thousand times bigger,
413
00:18:16,346 --> 00:18:19,265
100 times a day,
every day for months.
414
00:18:19,265 --> 00:18:20,892
- So Steve's brain injury
wasn't caused
415
00:18:20,892 --> 00:18:25,021
by enemy blast exposure,
but by firing his own weapon.
416
00:18:25,021 --> 00:18:27,273
- It's a theory...
that we can only confirm
417
00:18:27,273 --> 00:18:29,108
by analyzing Steve's brain
postmortem.
418
00:18:29,108 --> 00:18:31,069
Thankfully,
our patient is still alive.
419
00:18:31,069 --> 00:18:34,155
- But there were others
who weren't so lucky.
420
00:18:34,155 --> 00:18:36,074
Let's call Carol.
421
00:18:36,074 --> 00:18:37,742
- Thank you, Mrs. Miller,
for having us.
422
00:18:37,742 --> 00:18:41,579
We're grateful to the two of you
for taking the time.
423
00:18:41,579 --> 00:18:43,206
- That must be Aiden.
424
00:18:43,206 --> 00:18:45,416
From what I understand,
he was very good friends
425
00:18:45,416 --> 00:18:47,043
with our patient, Steve Hill?
426
00:18:47,043 --> 00:18:48,837
- Well, he mentioned Steve
a few times.
427
00:18:48,837 --> 00:18:50,380
Making friends came easy
to Aiden.
428
00:18:50,380 --> 00:18:52,715
Overseas, the men he served with
were like brothers.
429
00:18:52,715 --> 00:18:56,386
It wasn't until he came home
we noticed a change.
430
00:18:57,554 --> 00:19:00,515
- He grew paranoid. He was
convinced he was being watched.
431
00:19:00,515 --> 00:19:04,394
VA got him into therapy,
but he became combative.
432
00:19:04,394 --> 00:19:06,229
He was other-than-honorably
discharged
433
00:19:06,229 --> 00:19:07,897
after assaulting his therapist.
434
00:19:07,897 --> 00:19:12,735
We thought school would help,
but on orientation day...
435
00:19:12,735 --> 00:19:14,404
Aiden never came downstairs.
436
00:19:14,404 --> 00:19:15,697
- Hm.
437
00:19:17,115 --> 00:19:20,535
- The love you had-- still have
for Aiden is palpable.
438
00:19:20,535 --> 00:19:22,579
I know healing
will take a lot more time,

but we want to help you
get answers.
440
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:28,376
- Have you heard of CTE?
441
00:19:28,376 --> 00:19:30,044
- What's that have to do
with my son?
442
00:19:30,044 --> 00:19:31,713
- Well, I believe
that there was an element
443
00:19:31,713 --> 00:19:35,550
to Aden's daily duties as
a soldier that exposed his brain
444
00:19:35,550 --> 00:19:39,178
to the repeated micro-traumas
necessary to develop CTE.
445
00:19:39,178 --> 00:19:41,180
And with your permission,
we would like
446
00:19:41,180 --> 00:19:43,600
to exhume Aiden's body
to study his brain
447
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,519
and to find out for sure
what really happened.
448
00:19:46,519 --> 00:19:48,646
- We just buried our son,
and you want to dig him up.
449
00:19:48,646 --> 00:19:52,358
- Steve is suffering
the way Aiden was--
paranoia, delusions.
450
00:19:52,358 --> 00:19:54,611
We want to help him,
but we need more information.
451
00:19:54,611 --> 00:19:56,863
CTE can only be properly
diagnosed after death,
452
00:19:56,863 --> 00:19:58,907
and Aiden's is the only brain
we have access to.
453
00:19:58,907 --> 00:20:00,283
He's the only member of his unit
454
00:20:00,283 --> 00:20:02,619
that was not given
a military burial.
455
00:20:02,619 --> 00:20:04,412
So, in a sense,
456
00:20:04,412 --> 00:20:07,373
his dishonorable discharge
was a gift.
457
00:20:07,373 --> 00:20:10,585
- A gift? Aiden was a
third-generation Marine.
458
00:20:10,585 --> 00:20:13,379
If his grandfather--
The answer is no.
459
00:20:13,379 --> 00:20:15,882
- You-- My-- My colleague
meant no offense.
460
00:20:15,882 --> 00:20:18,635
I know you would give anything
to have him back.
461
00:20:18,635 --> 00:20:20,637
All we're trying to do
is give another family

a fighting chance
at a different fate.
463
00:20:23,306 --> 00:20:27,477
I promise you. This was--
is-- our last resort.

00:20:27,477 --> 00:20:29,312

00:20:31,898 --> 00:20:34,984
