17 00:01:00 Someone to help me get the team in line.Mike did it.
18 00:01:03 Mike controlled it, Mike ran it.
19 00:01:05 We needed him, we used him,we leaned on him.
20 00:01:09 He was our strength in our offense.
21 00:01:13 I know this man.I know his backside as well as anybody.
22 00:01:18 Simply, nothing has ever comparedto Mike Webster.
23 00:01:23 Ladies and gentlemen, the greatest center inthe history of the National Football League,
24 00:01:27 your inductee into the Hall of Fame,number 52, "Iron Mike" Webster!
25 00:01:43 I'd like to begin...
26 00:01:46 Obviously, I want it to be fun,but I want to be truthful.
27 00:01:53 'Cause the people out thereare tremendous fans, locally
28 00:02:00 But as we go through this,I want you to understand
29 00:02:05 the greatest thing that has happened to mein my experience of professional football
30 00:02:12 is to have the opportunityto work with people with a common goal
31 00:02:19 and with the same purpose,and to sacrifice.
32 00:02:32 I'll say this,
33 00:02:35 it's painful playing football, obviously.
34 00:02:39 And it's not a lot of fun out there
35 00:02:41 to be in two-a-day drillsin the heat of the summer,
36 00:02:46 and banging heads.
37 00:02:48 It's not a natural thing.
38 00:03:03 I was scared I'd fail.Honest to God, I was scared I'd fail.
39 00:03:08 I'm still scared of that.
40 00:03:41 And all we have to do is finish the game.
41 00:03:47 If we finish, we win.
42 00:03:54 Yeah.
43 00:04:21 The state has asked,after a lengthy trial,
44 00:04:25 a death sentence and two appeals,why we would learn anything new from you.
45 00:04:30 Dr. Omalu, do you have a medical degree?
46 00:04:34 Yes. From the University of Nigeria.
47 00:04:39 At Enugu, Nigeria.
48 00:04:42 And I did my residency
49 00:04:44 at Columbia University Medical Schoolin New York.
50 00:04:50 I also have master's degreesin Public Health and Epidemiology.
51 00:04:55 In addition,I am a certified physician executive
52 00:05:01 with a specialty in Emergency Medicine.
53 00:05:04 And, of course, I'm board-certified
54 00:05:06 in Forensic Pathology, Clinical Pathologyand Anatomic Pathology.
55 00:05:11 My focus is Neuropathology,the examination of the brain.
56 00:05:17 - While working as a Medical...- I'm sorry. So sorry. I'm sorry.
57 00:05:20 I'm also completing my MBAat Carnegie Mellon University.
58 00:05:27 And before I came to America,
59 00:05:29 a master's degree in the Theory of Musicfrom the Royal School of Music in London.
60 00:05:38 But... Your original question,what can I add?
61 00:05:45 My specialty is the science of death.
62 00:05:50 I think more about why people diethan I do the way people live.
63 00:05:59 Hands of the deceased.
64 00:06:01 Broken and dislodged fingernails.
65 00:06:04 The hands of a womanwho fought wildly for her life and lost.
66 00:06:11 The hands of the defendant,Thomas Chambers.
67 00:06:14 And that is, in fact,the blood of the victim.
68 00:06:16 Now, doesn't that suggestthat the state has the right man?
69 00:06:19 I thought so, until I heard hour 217of Mr. Chambers' police interview.
70 00:06:25 I heard him very clearly say,"I hate blood.
71 00:06:30 "I had a tooth pulled as a child onceand it would not stop bleeding."
72 00:06:35 - So, I got curious.- What about?
73 00:06:37 Hands. I could not reconcilethese conflicting sets of hands.
74 00:06:42 So, my mind... My mind is going mad,and I'm trying to figure out
75 00:06:45 if Thomas Chambers' familyhas a history of hemophilia.
76 00:06:49 So, I asked his fatherand his father said no.
77 00:06:52 But there is a strain of hemophilia,hemophilia A,
78 00:06:56 so rare that it is never tested for.
79 00:06:59 Mr. Chambers tested positivefor hemophilia A.
80 00:07:02 His hands may have touched the victim,perhaps to aid her, as he claims.
81 00:07:08 If his hands had been the murder weapon,if he had been scratched or bitten,
82 00:07:12 he would have bled to death.
83 00:07:14 If the state of Pennsylvaniamoves forward to execute,
84 00:07:18 you will be killing an innocent man.
85 00:08:28 Happy birthday to...
86 00:08:30 Way to go, Joe.
87 00:08:35 - Good morning, Gracie.- Good morning, Dr. Omalu.
88 00:08:37 - Here are the cases for today.- Okay. This is from yesterday.
89 00:08:40 Hey, we got a full room today.
90 00:08:42 - Cycle 'em through.- Yes.
91 00:08:51 Let's begin with Rachel Green.
92 00:09:18 Okay, Rachel, I need your help.
93 00:09:22 We are in this together.
94 00:09:25 Please help me find outwhat happened to you.
95 00:09:26 Here we go.
96 00:09:28 Danny, come on.
97 00:09:34 Gracie.
98 00:09:36 Dr. Omalu uses different stuff.Makes less of a mess.
99 00:10:28 Possible causal relationship betweenself-medication and early head trauma,
100 00:10:35 leading to narcotics abuse and overdose.
101 00:10:37 You're not her shrink, Bennet!
102 00:10:40 If I know how she lived,I know why she died.
103 00:10:43 And you should be careful, Danny.
104 00:10:45 One day,I may be rushing through your autopsy.
105 00:10:55 Dr. Wecht, Dr. Omalu is here to see you.
106 00:10:58 You know the reasonyou're not back in Nigeria, don't you?
107 00:11:02 Yes. Because I remind you of you.
108 00:11:04 Only less handsome.
109 00:11:06 Sit.
110 00:11:09 What the hell is going on down there?
111 00:11:12 Nothing. I'm doing my work. I'm fine.
112 00:11:14 You're not fine.
113 00:11:15 Danny hates your guts.I've never seen anything like it.
114 00:11:19 I think you're working a little too slow.
115 00:11:22 I'm a doctor.
116 00:11:23 The dead are my patients.I treat them with respect.
117 00:11:26 But do you have to talk to them?
118 00:11:28 If you have to do that,talk to them in your head.
119 00:11:31 And we discussed the knives.You're still throwing them away.
120 00:11:35 We're a public agency in Pittsburgh.
121 00:11:37 They're expensive. Reuse them.
122 00:11:39 Would you want me to cut open your motherwith the same knife I used on a serial killer?
123 00:11:49 Yes.
124 00:11:50 I'd probably request it.
125 00:11:54 Cyril.
126 00:11:56 You need a girlfriend.
127 00:11:58 You need to touch somebody aliveevery once in a while.
128 00:12:02 Living women are...Well, occasionally they're a pain in the ass,
129 00:12:05 but quite often, they're amazing.
130 00:12:07 Give it a try.
131 00:12:08 Okay.
132 00:12:09 Just be a little less of an artist.
133 00:12:12 - Fit in a little more.- Yes.
134 00:12:15 It's another death row case.
135 00:12:17 The guy's being railroaded.
136 00:12:19 $1,000 for you.
137 00:12:23 Cyril.
138 00:12:56 Webby.
139 00:12:59 Hey, man.
140 00:13:00 I am loving the digs.
141 00:13:05 Mike.
142 00:13:06 It's Justin.
143 00:13:10 - I'll just sit with you for a minute.- Yeah.
144 00:13:23 Jugger.
145 00:13:26 We're all worried about you, man.
146 00:13:28 What are you doing, Mike? Mike! Mike!
147 00:13:30 - What are y'all doing? Give me that.- No, no, no!
148 00:13:33 It's all right. It's just...
149 00:13:35 I just...
150 00:13:37 I don't want to go to sleep.
151 00:13:41 I heard you soldyour Super Bowl rings, Mike.
152 00:13:44 Your Super Bowl rings, Mike.
153 00:13:53 Mike, hey.
154 00:13:56 Pam's your wife.
155 00:13:59 - Garrett's your boy.- Yeah, yeah.
156 00:14:05 I'm starting to forget things.
157 00:14:09 I'm saying this crazy crap to my kids.
158 00:14:12 I nearly pushed Keana into a wall.
159 00:14:16 - I never thought I'd do that to her.- All right, well, don't...
160 00:14:19 Just don't give up.
161 00:14:22 All we got to do is finish the game.
162 00:14:28 We'll all be winners.
163 00:14:35 To the upright I will show
164 00:14:40 The saving power of God

184 00:15:50 She wants to work.
185 00:15:52 We're letting her tidy uparound the church.
186 00:15:54 We're asking you because we knowshe'll be safe and cared for.
187 00:15:59 - I feel God in you, Bennet.- Thank you, Father.
188 00:16:06 Who is she?
189 00:16:38 So...
190 00:16:41 You can see.
191 00:16:50 That is basically my office, there.
192 00:17:03 Is that your father?
193 00:17:06 Yes. The chief.
194 00:17:11 Those are my peaches.
195 00:17:13 They should not be here.

198 00:17:21 The key, I have it for you.

205 00:17:48 I was you.
206 00:17:52 You're in America now.
207 00:17:55 So, you have to bethe best version of yourself.
208 00:18:00 If you don't know what that is,you pick something and fake it.
209 00:18:05 So, I will just...
210 00:18:08 There, for you.
211 00:18:09 What did you pick?
212 00:18:11 - What did I pick?- To fake.
213 00:18:13 I picked an older bald-headed white man.
214 00:18:19 Why an older bald-headed white man?
215 00:18:24 Because he is the best at what he does.
216 00:18:28 Do you want to see your room?
217 00:18:46 I was a registered nurseat the Aga Khan Hospital in Nairobi.
218 00:18:53 I understand.

269 00:21:40 What am I missing?
270 00:21:43 - Tumor?- No.
271 00:21:45 All of his scans were clean.
272 00:22:24 Through the years, the dauntless Webster
273 00:22:26 had abandoned his family, slipped intofinancial chaos and homelessness.
274 00:22:31 This is a hard day for the cityof Pittsburgh. On a personal note,
275 00:22:34 I can remember sitting down with my father
276 00:22:36 and him giving meexamples of hard work ethic
277 00:22:39 and telling me when you get knocked down,you get back up again.
278 00:22:42 I'm sorry, I don't usually watch TV.
279 00:22:46 Then why do you have one?
280 00:22:48 One has a TV in this country.
281 00:23:00 I'm sorry, I don't usually eat breakfast.
282 00:23:05 One should eat breakfast in this country.
283 00:23:19 Dear God,
284 00:23:21 thank You for the gifts You haveso graciously bestowed upon us.
285 00:23:25 Please help us to continue to be deservantof Your blessings.
286 00:23:29 Amen.
287 00:23:31 Bennet!
288 00:23:32 Just hours afterhe was rushed to the nearby hospital,
289 00:23:35 football Hall of Famer,Iron Mike Webster...
290 00:23:37 - What is going on?- Mike Webster.
291 00:23:40 Who's Mike Webster?
292 00:23:41 He's the greatest centerto ever play the game.
293 00:23:43 He's a true warrior.
294 00:23:45 - I'm sorry. What is a center?- The big guy in the middle. Hikes it.
295 00:23:49 My kid plays football because of this guy.
296 00:23:51 Okay, I'm sorry.I just did not know who he was.
297 00:23:53 Well, if you're gonna live in this town,
298 00:23:54 you gonna work in this town,football is a good thing.
299 00:23:56 I freaking can't believe it's you.
300 00:23:58 Well, as you know, I was puton the schedule for this weekend.
301 00:24:01 I am put on the schedulefor every weekend.
302 00:24:03 Come on. Come on.
303 00:24:10 The whole town was out of work.
304 00:24:12 He was a guy who gave us hopewhen there really was no hope.
305 00:24:15 Just leave him be.
306 00:24:22 Look at his teeth.
307 00:24:24 He was pulling them outand supergluing them back in.
308 00:24:30 Gracie, full autopsy, please.
309 00:24:32 Hey, come on, man.There's no need to cut this man's body.
310 00:24:35 Why does an apparently healthyfavorite son of this city
311 00:24:38 become self-mutilating and homeless at 50?
312 00:24:43 Cardiac arrest may be how he died,but not why.
313 00:24:47 - Prepare the body, please.- Yes.
314 00:24:55 I think what he's saying is thatsometimes in life, you know, you just...
315 00:25:01 You're asked to leave it alone.
316 00:25:04 But sometimes you can't.
317 00:25:07 Do you believe that he thinksthis is a time that I should leave it alone?
318 00:25:11 No, I don't.
319 00:25:14 I never leave it alone.
320 00:25:15 That's why people hate me.
321 00:26:03 Mike.
322 00:26:06 People are saying bad things about you.
323 00:26:10 I can tell something is wrong.
324 00:26:13 But I can't do this alone.
325 00:26:15 I need your helpto tell the world what happened to you.
326 00:27:26 Sorry.
327 00:27:30 Regular folds of gray matter.
328 00:27:34 No obvious contusions.
329 00:27:36 No shrinkage from Alzheimer's.
330 00:27:44 What's wrong?
331 00:27:49 Can you show me the CT scan again, please?
332 00:27:57 - How old are these?- Six months.
333 00:28:00 Six months.
334 00:28:17 This brain should be a mess.
335 00:28:23 But it looks completely normal.
336 00:28:27 Records say severe headaches,double vision, voices in his head.
337 00:28:33 No documented concussions.
338 00:28:35 He did complain of dizziness.
339 00:28:38 - How often?- Once.
340 00:28:40 In 18 years of professional football?
341 00:28:44 "Joseph Maroon."
342 00:28:46 Sign the certificate. Sew him up.
343 00:28:51 Fix the brain, please.
344 00:28:54 You know we don't havethe budget to do that.
345 00:28:57 People do not go mad for no reason.I'm going to continue looking.
346 00:29:00 No, you're not going to.
347 00:29:02 Danny, you are out of line.
348 00:29:04 Hey, you do not speak to me like that!
349 00:29:07 I am the pathologist on duty!
350 00:29:08 - I am the pathologist of record!- Hey! Listen!
351 00:29:11 This is not your laboratory!
352 00:29:12 My hands are on this body!If I am wrong, I am wrong!
353 00:29:15 - And you are wrong.- Not you, me!
354 00:29:18 Fix that brain.
355 00:29:20 Hey, I am gonna make surethey don't pay for any of this.
356 00:29:23 I am going to write my ordersfor the tests that I need.
357 00:29:26 - And you're paying for it yourself.- Yes, Danny.
358 00:29:28 Please, exit my workplace.
359 00:29:34 Please!
360 00:29:36 In 25 years, I've never requesteda panel of tests like this.
361 00:29:40 What are you looking for?
362 00:29:42 There is not a single casein a book or in life
363 00:29:47 where a man that healthywent that mad that young
364 00:29:52 with no visible abnormality of the brain.
365 00:29:56 I don't know what I'm looking for.
366 00:29:58 I can tell.
367 00:30:01 It's going to cost you a fortune.
368 00:30:04 I understand.
369 00:30:06 Okay.
370 00:30:07 Well, if you have to play hero,just make sure we both come out okay.
371 00:30:52 Dr. Omalu. You got something today.Left it on your desk.
372 00:30:56 Thank you.
373 00:31:22 Prema!
374 00:31:25 It's very late. Where have you been?
375 00:31:32 I got a job.
376 00:31:35 - Look at you.- Well, a shift.
377 00:31:39 At a home. Feeding old people.
378 00:31:42 That is fantastic. Congratulations.
379 00:31:46 What is that?
380 00:31:49 Mike Webster.
381 00:31:57 ...phrase is worth $1,000. And here we go.
382 00:32:03 Would you like meto get you a TV for your room?
383 00:32:08 No. This one will be fine.
384 00:32:13 Okay.
385 00:32:26 I can't tell what you're more afraid of.
386 00:32:29 What you will find, or what you won't.
387 00:33:59 My God.
388 00:34:06 My God.
389 00:34:32 ...jacked up from those guys that aregonna be racing those sides on this.
390 00:34:35 Let's get to Jacked Up Number 5.
391 00:34:37 We're gonna beginwith the Rams and the Chargers.
392 00:34:40 Mark Bulger gonna be delivering the ballto Tony Fisher.
393 00:34:43 Throws it down around his feet.
394 00:34:45 So, Donnie Edwards is gonnalevel him right there.
395 00:34:48 Always be looking outfor the big hit right there.
396 00:34:51 - Tony Fisher got jacked up!- Jacked up!
397 00:34:54 Number 4, the Seahawks and the Chiefs.
398 00:34:57 D.J. Hackett is gonna make the catchand Ty Law will launch him backwards.
399 00:35:02 How far backwards?
400 00:35:04 Eyes on me! Eyes on me! Gentlemen!
401 00:35:08 This is a game of awareness.
402 00:35:10 It is a game of desire.That's why we have the three-whistle drill.
403 00:35:14 Let's go!
404 00:35:16 When I blow this whistle three times,you seek out a teammate. Any teammate.
405 00:35:20 You make collision,you be physical, you be violent!
406 00:35:24 Bring it in here, let's go! Bring it in!
407 00:35:29 The only way you're gonna getthis player's hands off you,
408 00:35:32 you grab him by the throatand you squeeze!
409 00:35:34 You choke him until shit runs down his leg!Do you understand me?
410 00:35:51 Let's go! Do it!
411 00:35:54 Drive! Drive! Hit him!
412 00:35:56 Hit it! Drive! Drive!
413 00:35:58 The Jaguars and the Eagles. Dirk Johnson.
414 00:36:00 And I'm gonna wait for this becausethe look on his face
415 00:36:03 - tells you that he got jacked up!- Jacked up!
416 00:36:12 And our Number 1 hit of the week,
417 00:36:14 Jon Kitna dropping back the pass,
418 00:36:17 and Shawntae Spencerlifts him off his feet!
419 00:36:22 - Oh, my God! And Jon Kitna got jacked up!- Jacked up!
420 00:36:49 You should see this, Bennet.
421 00:36:55 It's actually really beautiful.
422 00:36:58 Priest Holmes, he's diving.Yes, he's got it! Touchdown!
423 00:37:01 Tremendous! Tremendous catch!
424 00:37:07 I want to show you something.
425 00:37:09 A human brain
426 00:37:11 sits in a fluid completely disconnectedfrom the human skull.
427 00:37:52 Bennet, will you relax?I can hear you breathing.
428 00:38:05 This is a really terrible brain.
429 00:38:09 Ever met the great DeKosky before?
430 00:38:12 Expect two minutes, tops.
431 00:38:16 Is that him?
432 00:38:18 So, you're our prize graduate.
433 00:38:40 Tell him.
434 00:38:41 It's Mike Webster.
435 00:38:44 - The Pittsburgh...- I know who Mike Webster is.
436 00:38:46 Steve.
437 00:38:48 He was 50.
438 00:39:05 You have my attention.
439 00:39:14 The Cape gannet.
440 00:39:15 A diving bird capable of generating speedsof up to 75 miles per hour,
441 00:39:20 turning itself into a missileas it collides with the face of the sea.
442 00:39:27 The red-head woodpeckercan absorb a G-force of 1,000,
443 00:39:30 pecking a tree 12,000 times per day,85 million times over its lifetime.
444 00:39:41 Bighorn sheep can generate...
445 00:39:43 Bennet.
446 00:39:46 Okay, okay.
447 00:39:50 All of these animals have shock absorbersbuilt into their bodies.
448 00:39:54 The woodpecker's tongue extends throughthe back of the mouth out of the nostril,
449 00:39:58 encircling the entire cranium.
450 00:40:00 It is the anatomical equivalentof a safety belt for its brain.
451 00:40:05 Human beings?
452 00:40:07 Not a single piece of our anatomyprotects us from those types of collisions.
453 00:40:13 A human being will getconcussed at 60 G's.
454 00:40:17 A common head-to-head contacton a football field?
455 00:40:22 One hundred G's.
456 00:40:26 God did not intend for usto play football.
457 00:40:29 Let's keep God out of this.
458 00:40:33 Okay.
459 00:40:36 Okay. Look.
460 00:40:44 - What are the S's?- The Steelers.
461 00:40:47 - And the O's?- The others, obviously.
462 00:40:50 Yes, the other team.
463 00:40:51 Do you even watch football?
464 00:40:53 No, not at all.
465 00:40:55 But I've been studyingMike Webster's position.
466 00:40:57 The man in the middle is quite deceptivelythe most violent position on the field.
467 00:41:02 The slaps, the punches, the forearm.
468 00:41:04 It is an unremitting stormof sub-concussive blows.
469 00:41:08 The head as a weaponon every single play of every single game
470 00:41:12 of every single practice, from the timehe was a little boy to a college man,
471 00:41:17 culminating inan 18-year professional career.
472 00:41:21 By my calculations,
473 00:41:23 Mike Webster sustainedmore than 70,000 blows to his head.
474 00:41:31 Now, now, these men, these men,
475 00:41:33 these are the fastest.
476 00:41:36 Now, their speed multiplied bythe speed of the men who hit them,
477 00:41:40 the G-forces generated
478 00:41:42 equivalent to hitting them on the helmetwith a sledgehammer.
479 00:41:47 All of this
480 00:41:49 triggered a cascading seriesof neurological events
481 00:41:52 which unleashed killer proteinsupon Mike Webster's brain,
482 00:41:57 the tangles invading and stranglinghis mind from the inside out.
483 00:42:04 Like pouring wet concretedown kitchen pipes
484 00:42:08 as it hardens, it chokes the brain,leaving him unrecognizable,
485 00:42:15 even to himself.
486 00:42:18 I don't know football. I've never played.
487 00:42:22 But I am telling youthat playing football killed Mike Webster.
488 00:42:29 And I am certain that there are others.
489 00:42:31 And how can you possibly know that?
490 00:42:34 Common sense.
491 00:42:36 But they are either dead or lostin the way that Mike Webster was lost.
492 00:42:39 I'm not interested in common sense.
493 00:42:42 I'm interested in science.
494 00:42:44 And science is knowing.
495 00:42:46 I know from these players' records
496 00:42:49 that their doctors believethey have early Alzheimer's,
497 00:42:52 which is statistically impossible.
498 00:42:55 They're too young.
499 00:42:58 Because it's not Alzheimer's.
500 00:43:01 It is this.
501 00:43:24 I don't like it.
502 00:43:27 No.
503 00:43:28 No, actually, I hate it.
504 00:43:31 But as a scientist,
505 00:43:35 I can't deny it.
506 00:43:38 Name it. You have to give this a name.
507 00:44:07 I'm sorry. Did I wake you?
508 00:44:11 Did they agree what it is?
509 00:44:16 Yes. We are going to publish.
510 00:44:20 They...
511 00:44:21 - With you?- Yes.
512 00:44:24 In a medical journal.
513 00:44:27 With you?
514 00:44:29 Yes, with me. Together.
515 00:44:32 That's so...
516 00:44:36 Congratulations.
517 00:44:38 Thank you. Thank you.
518 00:44:44 You...
519 00:44:46 Are you going somewhere?
520 00:44:49 Yes.
521 00:44:51 With you.
522 00:44:54 To celebrate.
523 00:45:11 You don't dance, do you?
524 00:46:55 I had quite a revelation tonight.
525 00:47:02 This body was made for dancing.
526 00:47:05 When they say "dancing machine,"I am what they mean.
527 00:47:10 I'm very proud of you.
528 00:47:17 Okay.
529 00:47:43 May I kiss you?
530 00:48:32 - Good morning.- Cyril.
531 00:48:34 It's very weird to bring womeninto the morgue at night.
532 00:48:37 - She is a friend.- You don't have friends.
533 00:48:41 Listen, Danny knows she's been in there.
534 00:48:43 He's thinking about filinga formal complaint.
535 00:48:45 What?
536 00:48:47 I was working on Webster.
537 00:48:49 I know. I'll take care of it.
538 00:48:51 How much has that cost you so far?
539 00:48:54 - $20,000.- Twenty?
540 00:48:56 I save.
541 00:48:58 - Everything.- Really? How un-American.
542 00:49:03 Well, maybe it was worth it.
543 00:49:05 I got the call.
544 00:49:07 Chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
545 00:49:09 Got a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
546 00:49:11 Yes. CTE.
547 00:49:13 So, what happens now?
548 00:49:15 We publish. DeKosky is going to coauthor.
549 00:49:18 - DeKosky?- Yes.
550 00:49:20 Omalu, DeKosky and Cyril Wecht.
551 00:49:28 Well, I'm very proud of you.
552 00:49:30 Thank you.
553 00:49:33 See? The gray's the right color.The blue shows the dirt, even in the rain.
554 00:49:37 Here you go.
555 00:49:46 Let's go, baby!
556 00:49:49 Come on, get it, get it, get it!
557 00:49:52 And watch the play-action.The safeties jump up.
558 00:49:55 And look at that touchby Ben Roethlisberger.
559 00:49:57 And Plaxico Burress does a great job.Looked like he tripped...
560 00:50:00 You make no sense!
561 00:50:03 I say not to, but he does.
562 00:50:06 Roethlisberger scrambling outof the pocket.
563 00:50:10 Throwing across the middle! Caught!
564 00:50:12 Burress at the 45!
565 00:50:16 And if you don't know, Plaxico!
566 00:50:22 Yeah. That was a pressure tossby the rook.
567 00:50:28 - I'm hearing voices.- Are you serious?
568 00:50:30 - They're just talking.- Stop. Justin, stop. You're scaring me.
569 00:50:33 You're scaring them.
570 00:50:34 Look at me!
571 00:50:36 They're telling me to kill you.
572 00:50:38 They're telling me to kill you!
573 00:50:43 Get out! Get out!
574 00:50:46 Get out!
575 00:51:02 No!
576 00:51:04 All units, black pickup spotted on thruwayeight miles...
577 00:51:07 Okay, I see him. Just passing me.Where am I?
578 00:51:09 Reportedly driving into opposite trafficlast 10 miles.
579 00:51:12 Oh, my God.
580 00:51:14 Pickup has collided.
581 00:51:16 All units. Reported collision.
582 00:51:36 A few months after Steeler favoriteJustin Strzelczyk
583 00:51:39 was killed in that fiery accident,
584 00:51:41 yet another Steeler favorite, Terry Long,
585 00:51:44 has apparently committed suicideat the age of 45.
586 00:51:47 Terry.
587 00:51:49 You wonder where they are now?Now we know.
588 00:51:54 Terry Long, Pittsburgh Steelers.
589 00:51:56 I guess these guys only diewhen you're working.
590 00:51:59 - What other problems did he have?- Arrested a few times.
591 00:52:03 Fraud, federal theft.
592 00:52:06 Arrested a lot.
593 00:52:07 I need a full autopsy.
594 00:52:09 - Same tests as Mike Webster.- You're paying for that, too?
595 00:52:12 Yes, Danny, I'm paying for that, too.
596 00:52:20 Joseph Maroon.
597 00:53:19 This is my dream.
598 00:53:24 The schools are good.
599 00:53:28 You are good, Prema.
600 00:53:33 I'm sure you see good in me.
601 00:53:37 I see all that you are.
602 00:53:43 I want to marry you.
603 00:53:48 We can fall in love.
604 00:53:58 If you want to marry me,
605 00:54:01 I will marry you.
606 00:54:05 That is good,because I already made the down payment.
607 00:54:13 I saved all my moneyand I bought this for you.
608 00:54:57 Get me Elliot Pellman.
609 00:55:14 I have Chris Jones for you.
610 00:55:17 I'm just looking at it.
611 00:55:20 Anything to be concerned about?
612 00:55:22 This Omalu, he's a coroner in Pittsburgh.
613 00:55:25 He looks like a nobody,but let me get into it.
614 00:55:28 All right.
615 00:55:48 - Hello?- Is Bennet Omalu there?
616 00:55:51 Yes, he is.
617 00:55:55 Yes.
618 00:55:56 I'm a neurologistwho's worked around football for years.
619 00:55:59 Very familiarwith the NFL's concussion research.
620 00:56:02 And the League concluded unequivocally
621 00:56:03 that football playersdo not get brain damage.
622 00:56:07 Webster is one random case, Mr. Omalu.
623 00:56:10 Dr. Omalu.
624 00:56:11 Well, whatever. You're an uneducated quackand your career is over.
625 00:56:18 They said you were uneducated?
626 00:56:20 Did they even read your résumé?
627 00:56:22 Well, I got calls, too.
628 00:56:24 Apparently, the National Football Leagueowns neuroscience.
629 00:56:28 Who knew?
630 00:56:29 "Failure to find."
631 00:56:31 "Absence of clinical information."
632 00:56:34 - What do they want?- Your head on a spike.
633 00:56:36 They want you to retract your findings.
634 00:56:38 They want you to say you made it all up.
635 00:56:43 - I made it up?- They're accusing you of fraud.
636 00:56:46 If you retract, you'll be fine.This all goes away.
637 00:56:51 Why... Why are they doing this?
638 00:56:52 They're terrified of you.
639 00:56:54 What did you think they were gonna say?"Thank you"?
640 00:56:56 Yes.
641 00:56:58 - What the hell for?- For being told.
642 00:57:01 For knowing.
643 00:57:03 I understand.
644 00:57:05 You think you're being a good American.
645 00:57:10 So, the city of Pittsburghspent $233 million
646 00:57:15 to build their glorious Steelersa new stadium.
647 00:57:19 All the while, they were closingschools and raising taxes.
648 00:57:24 These peopleare not out to change the world.
649 00:57:28 And this is not somequaint academic discovery
650 00:57:32 stuck in the back ofan obscure medical journal.
651 00:57:36 Bennet Omalu is going to warwith a corporation
652 00:57:40 that has 20 million people, on a weeklybasis, craving their product,
653 00:57:46 the same way they crave food.
654 00:57:49 The NFL owns a day of the week.
655 00:57:53 The same day the church used to own.
656 00:57:56 Now it's theirs.
657 00:57:58 They're very big.
658 00:58:14 Terry Long.
659 00:58:18 The tests came back positive.
660 00:58:21 Football gave him CTE,and CTE told his brain
661 00:58:27 to drink a gallon of antifreeze,and he died.
662 00:58:32 I told you there would be more.
663 00:58:35 You have done great work.
664 00:58:38 No one would blame you if you stopped now.
665 00:58:41 No one is stopping anything.
666 00:58:45 Then I'd be lying if I didn't tell youhow important your next move is.
667 00:58:57 By the time Terry Long committed suicide,
668 00:59:00 his brain had been consumedby chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
669 00:59:05 And it is probable, perhaps even likely,
670 00:59:08 that a larger percentage of professionalfootball players have and will die from CTE.
671 00:59:13 This was the Pittsburgh Medical Examiner'sown Dr. Bennet Omalu, who today
672 00:59:17 threw down the gauntletat the feet of the National Football League.
673 00:59:21 Thank you.
674 00:59:25 What do you think?
675 00:59:27 I think you're gonna be an American hero.
676 00:59:30 - I'm not even an American.- That's even better.
677 00:59:33 That's so fucking American.
678 00:59:39 "Dr. Maroon, who is also vice-chairman of
679 00:59:43 "the neurosurgery department atthe University of Pittsburgh Medical Center,
680 00:59:46 "said of Omalu's CTE diagnosisthat it was fallacious reasoning."
681 01:00:01 Yes.
682 01:00:02 Yeah, is this Bennet Omalu?
683 01:00:04 Dr. Bennet Omalu.
684 01:00:06 You want to pussify this country?You want to vaginize football?
685 01:00:09 Get the hell out.Or they'll be doing your autopsy.
686 01:01:08 Dr. Omalu?
687 01:01:10 Yes.
688 01:01:12 I took you to be an early riser.I didn't want to call you at your office.
689 01:01:15 This is Julian Bailes.
690 01:01:19 Do you know who I am?
691 01:01:20 I know who you are.
692 01:01:24 Mike Webster was a personal friend.
693 01:01:27 Was he?
694 01:01:28 Dr. Omalu.
695 01:01:31 You're in trouble, but you're not wrong.
696 01:01:35 I'd like to talk with you.
697 01:02:07 The NFL has known aboutthis concussion crisis for years.
698 01:02:11 And what you have there is the research
699 01:02:13 that forms the basisfor the League's concussion guidelines.
700 01:02:17 In this study,
701 01:02:19 some academics put helmets on monkeysand shook them real hard.
702 01:02:23 They threw dogs and pigsand human cadavers down elevator shafts.
703 01:02:27 Helmets on crash-test dummiesand bashed them together.
704 01:02:30 And their conclusion?
705 01:02:35 "No striking playerexperienced neck injury or concussion."
706 01:02:39 So, a concussion's no more dangerousthan a hangnail.
707 01:02:43 - And that was it?- No, no, no.
708 01:02:46 The NFL did what every organization does.
709 01:02:48 They put together a commissionto study the study.
710 01:02:51 Dr. Elliot Pellman'sMild Traumatic Brain Injury Committee.
711 01:02:55 You know who else was on that committee?
712 01:02:57 - Dr. Maroon.- Joe, yeah, he was on there.
713 01:02:59 Plus a couple of other team doctors,
714 01:03:02 an equipment manager and two trainers,guys who tape knees for a living.
715 01:03:09 I mean...
716 01:03:22 Why am I here, Dr. Bailes?
717 01:03:26 Doctor, I'm not with the Steelers anymore.
718 01:03:30 I'm not with the NFL.
719 01:03:33 Now, do you know how manyPittsburgh Steelers, just Steelers, now,
720 01:03:38 have died in the last few years?
721 01:03:41 And I'm not talking about the older guys.
722 01:03:43 I'm talking about men that I worked with,and just the ones that I know about.
723 01:03:47 Twelve.
724 01:03:51 And I don't want to see
725 01:03:53 any more of these menvanish in the back of a pickup truck.
726 01:04:09 I know them.
727 01:04:11 I was them.
728 01:04:13 And I think you're doing this wrong.
729 01:04:15 As long as the NFL continuesto deny the truth, nothing changes.
730 01:04:19 It's only true if they say it's true.
731 01:04:21 And they've got to say it out loud.
732 01:04:24 Get me a meeting with the Commissioner.
733 01:04:26 I want to sit with him, man to man,face to face. I will make him say it out loud.
734 01:04:31 They don't want to talk to you.
735 01:04:34 Football does not want to talk to you.
736 01:04:37 Like my daddy, a Louisiana judge,always used to say to me,
737 01:04:40 "Son, God is number oneand football is number two."
738 01:04:47 Besides, to them you're not even American.You're not even African-American.
739 01:04:52 You're...
740 01:04:55 A doctor?
741 01:05:02 Okay.
742 01:05:04 Look.
743 01:05:06 The League has kept everyone in the dark.
744 01:05:09 And you turned on the lightsand gave their biggest boogeyman a name.
745 01:05:13 What's happening now, what you thinkthey're doing to you, that's nothing.
746 01:05:20 I've done my own researchon this NFL Brain Injury Committee.
747 01:05:25 You know what Dr. Elliot Pellman is?
748 01:05:28 He's a rheumatologist.
749 01:05:30 He's a specialist in arthritisand joint pain.
750 01:05:33 Can you tell me what a rheumatologist knowsabout the brain and brain disease?
751 01:05:39 Corporate men like this, in this country,usually go to Harvard or Yale.
752 01:05:45 He went to medical school in Guadalajara.
753 01:05:49 - Mexico?- Yes.
754 01:05:52 I did not know that.
755 01:05:55 That's beautiful.
756 01:06:01 Now, two cases does not meetthe scientific burden of proof.
757 01:06:06 You have to keep going.
758 01:06:09 Just so you understand,this does not show up on a CT scan.
759 01:06:13 Which meansthere's no diagnosis before death.
760 01:06:17 In order for me to keep going,more have to die.
761 01:06:21 Unfortunately, that's already happening.
762 01:07:06 Double D.
763 01:07:08 Did I hear right? We're losing you?
764 01:07:10 Tapping you for mayor of Chicago?
765 01:07:12 Still a long, long road, my friend.
766 01:07:14 All-world killer athlete to civilianto king, all in one lifetime.
767 01:07:19 Ladies and gentlemen,I give you Mayor Dave Duerson,
768 01:07:23 who has figured it out.
769 01:07:30 - Dave!- Yeah.
770 01:07:31 It's me, man. Andre Waters.
771 01:07:33 How you doing, man?
772 01:07:35 Look, let me walk with you.
773 01:07:38 This is not good, Dave, not good.It's in the paperwork.
774 01:07:41 But why is the committee doing this, man?
775 01:07:44 There are five other trustees.You talk to them?
776 01:07:47 You're the only one who played, man.
777 01:07:48 You the only onewho knows what it is to be us.
778 01:07:50 Hey, hey, hey.You and me, we were the same, man.
779 01:07:53 We were bangers, hitmen.
780 01:07:55 File the appeal.
781 01:07:57 You denied the appeal, Dave!Look, something's wrong with me, man.
782 01:08:01 I can't sleep. Okay...
783 01:08:02 I mean, my eyes get crossed.It just weirds me out.
784 01:08:04 - Hey! Look at me!- Jesus!
785 01:08:07 Look. Twelve years I paid my dues.
786 01:08:09 I made millions for those assholes.
787 01:08:11 Come on. It's not even your money, man.
788 01:08:13 I'm just asking back what I gave!
789 01:08:16 Listen. Fat? Stop eating like a pig.Got a headache? See a doctor.
790 01:08:19 I've seen 20 doctors!I just need rent money.
791 01:08:23 Get your shit together!
792 01:08:26 You used to be a warrior.
793 01:08:28 - You fucking sellout.- Get your hands off me!
794 01:08:30 I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Dave.I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
795 01:08:33 Look, hey, hey, hey.
796 01:08:34 Remember when we were kids?Remember when we were kids?
797 01:08:38 Playing's what we lived for.
798 01:08:40 I need your help. I need your help, Dave.
799 01:08:47 Dave, help me!
800 01:09:00 "Andre Waters, known as 'Dirty Waters,'notorious for his aggressive style of play
801 01:09:05 "and devastating hitsthat filled highlight reels.
802 01:09:09 "Waters died of a self-inflictedgunshot wound to the head.
803 01:09:14 "He was 44."
804 01:09:20 And this is the partwhere he got knocked out.
805 01:09:27 Andre Waters has it. We'll be back...
806 01:09:30 He said he was all right.
807 01:09:32 Said he was just a little dazed,but he said he was all right.
808 01:09:40 You look well.
809 01:09:43 - How are the kids?- Kids are fine.
810 01:09:47 I'm fine.
811 01:09:52 I'm sorry I couldn't make itto the funeral.
812 01:09:56 No one made it to the funeral.
813 01:09:59 He was the sun.
814 01:10:02 We was the planets.
815 01:10:05 And then, after he gave me this card,he said, "Ma,
816 01:10:14 "I'm ready to go."
817 01:10:17 Because he knewpeople was thinking he was crazy.
818 01:10:22 Not crazy.
819 01:10:24 He'd already become someone else.
820 01:10:28 You definitely think he had this disease?
821 01:10:32 Because I want to believe that.
822 01:10:35 I believe so, yes.
823 01:10:38 And now you want what's left of my boy.
824 01:10:45 You heard about Mike Webster?
825 01:10:49 And Terry Long and...
826 01:10:52 And...
827 01:10:53 And who else?
828 01:10:59 What do you really want to ask me, Julian?
829 01:11:30 Dr. Cyril Wecht, Dr. Julian Bailes.
830 01:11:35 Pleasure to meet you.
831 01:11:42 Andre Waters.
832 01:11:53 Justin Strzelczyk.
833 01:12:08 I just kept sending them back out there.
834 01:12:11 What the hell were you thinking?
835 01:12:13 You've got to be a part of it.
836 01:12:15 You've got to be on the sidelineswith them to understand.
837 01:12:20 Whatever it takes to keep them in the game,to keep the whole thing going.
838 01:12:24 Tape, needles, Vicodin,Toradol, Lidocaine,
839 01:12:29 Percocet, Lexapro, Zoloft.
840 01:12:34 Have I left anything out?
841 01:12:36 It's tires and oil.
842 01:12:38 Just mechanics trying to keepthe cars on the racetrack.
843 01:12:41 Yeah, well, it's not medicine.I don't know what it is.
844 01:12:45 It's business.
845 01:12:50 - There you go.- Okay, okay.
846 01:12:52 Three casesis the scientific burden of evidence.
847 01:12:56 We have four.
848 01:12:58 That is far beyond anythingthe NFL can or cannot deny.
849 01:13:01 This is bigger than they are.
850 01:13:04 They have to listen to us now.
851 01:13:25 Dr. Maroon.
852 01:13:27 - Would you like a drink?- I said five minutes.
853 01:13:29 He doesn't want a drink.
854 01:13:31 Your conclusionstotally misrepresent the facts.
855 01:13:35 To say that Webster and Long and Waterswere killed by football is...
856 01:13:39 Is fallacious reasoning.
857 01:13:42 Yes, I know.
858 01:13:45 Where's he going with this?
859 01:13:47 Just hear him out.
860 01:13:50 I would like to proposea formal, controlled study
861 01:13:53 of former and currentNFL football players.
862 01:13:57 We will bring together the greatest mindsin America to solve the problem.
863 01:14:02 We should be working together.
864 01:14:06 Who do you think you're talking to?
865 01:14:09 Excuse me?
866 01:14:11 I was the President ofthe Congress of Neurological Surgeons.
867 01:14:15 And I was the manwho performed the autopsies
868 01:14:18 on Mike Webster, Terry Long.
869 01:14:21 Your men.
870 01:14:24 Men under your care.
871 01:14:29 Do you know what Mike Webster's wife said?
872 01:14:31 She said that if she had knownthat Mike was sick,
873 01:14:38 she would have done more for him.
874 01:14:43 But he died in disgrace.
875 01:14:48 Your man.
876 01:14:51 Your man.
877 01:14:53 You took an oath.
878 01:14:55 - Tell the truth.- The truth?
879 01:14:57 - Tell the truth!- The truth is
880 01:15:00 that the NFL is a blessingand a salvation, my friend.
881 01:15:06 We employ hundreds of thousands of people.
882 01:15:09 We send thousands and thousandsof poor kids to school.
883 01:15:14 The ownership of this football club
884 01:15:16 has donated millions of dollarsto countless charities.
885 01:15:20 - Do you want me to go on?- That won't be necessary.
886 01:15:23 It is necessary.
887 01:15:25 Football is the most popularsport in America
888 01:15:30 because it is so goddamn fantastic!
889 01:15:36 And that, right there?
890 01:15:40 That is the beating heart of this city.
891 01:15:44 And you want to, what, end it?
892 01:15:46 You want to fold upthe National Football League?
893 01:15:51 I want to solve the problem.
894 01:15:53 Who are you?
895 01:15:55 - What are you asking?- You're a pathologist.
896 01:15:58 You perform autopsies.
897 01:16:00 Yes, I am a mere pathologist.
898 01:16:02 That's it. That's all I am.
899 01:16:09 Wow.
900 01:16:12 Do you have any ideaof the impact of what you're doing?
901 01:16:15 - Yes, I do.- Do you understand the impact
902 01:16:18 of what you are doing?
903 01:16:20 If just 10% of the mothers in America
904 01:16:23 decide that football is too dangerousfor their sons to play,
905 01:16:26 that is it. It is the end of football.
906 01:16:30 Kids, colleges, and eventually, it's justa matter of time, the professional game.
907 01:16:36 Joe, he does autopsies.He's not in the outcome business.
908 01:16:39 He has no business.
909 01:16:41 Do you know what history does to people,
910 01:16:45 trained physicians,
911 01:16:48 - who ignore science?- Wow.
912 01:16:50 Sir, I am not done!
913 01:16:52 History laughs.
914 01:16:55 If you continue to deny my work,the world will deny my work.
915 01:17:03 But men, your men,
916 01:17:07 continue to die,their families left in ruins.
917 01:17:15 Tell the truth.
918 01:17:19 Tell the truth.
919 01:17:32 You sure... You sure you want to do this?
920 01:17:36 I would ask you that same question,Dr. Maroon.
921 01:17:43 Your study, I'll get back to you.
922 01:17:59 Well, that went well.
923 01:18:42 When I was a boy growing up in Nigeria,
924 01:18:49 heaven was here and America was here.
925 01:18:58 To me, it was the placewhere God sent all of His favorite people.
926 01:19:05 You could be anything,you could do anything.
927 01:19:10 Americans were the manifestationof what God wanted us all to be.
928 01:19:19 I have never wanted anything
929 01:19:24 as much as I wanted to be acceptedas an American.
930 01:19:33 But Mike Webster goes madand nobody asks why.
931 01:19:41 They make fun of him.
932 01:19:43 They insult him on TV.
933 01:19:45 And now they want to pretendthat his disease does not exist.
934 01:19:48 And they want to bury me.
935 01:19:54 It's offensive.
936 01:19:58 I am offended.
937 01:20:05 I am the wrong personto have discovered this.
938 01:20:13 There is no coincidence in this world.
939 01:20:19 Tell me,
940 01:20:22 what is the statistical probabilitythat you, not just a doctor,
941 01:20:27 but Bennet Omalu, came to America
942 01:20:33 ended up here in this rusty placefor you alone to be the one to see this?
943 01:20:47 When I arrived in New York,
944 01:20:51 I was attacked.
945 01:20:53 What happened?
946 01:20:55 Something that is better left unsaid.
947 01:21:00 But that man almost broke me.
948 01:21:05 I wanted to give up and go back.
949 01:21:13 But I knew God.
950 01:21:16 I decided to trust His wisdomand I stayed.
951 01:21:24 And now I am looking at this man,
952 01:21:29 an Omalu Onyemalukwube.
953 01:21:32 Your name, it means, "If you know,
954 01:21:37 "you must come forth and speak."
955 01:21:42 How did you know that?
956 01:21:44 I called your father.
957 01:21:46 He was pleased to hear from me.
958 01:21:48 Yes, I am sure he was.
959 01:21:51 If you don't speak for the dead, who will?
960 01:21:56 You are of the Igbo tribe, Bennet.
961 01:21:59 When you have truth,
962 01:22:01 the thing you are told you cannot dois the thing you must do.
963 01:22:05 Embrace that
964 01:22:08 and nothing created by mancan bring you down.
965 01:22:18 Omalu's gone to the press now.Listen to this.
966 01:22:22 "After examining the remains
967 01:22:24 "of former National Football League playerAndre Waters,
968 01:22:27 "a neuropathologist in Pittsburgh,Dr. Bennet Omalu, is claiming
969 01:22:31 "that Mr. Waters had sustained brain damagefrom playing football, and he says
970 01:22:36 "that led to his depressionand ultimate death."
971 01:22:41 It gets worse.
972 01:22:43 "Dr. Julian Bailes, medical director
973 01:22:45 "for the Center forthe Study of Retired Athletes
974 01:22:47 "and the chairman of the Department ofNeurosurgery of West Virginia University,
975 01:22:51 "said, 'Unfortunately, I'm not shocked.'"
976 01:22:55 There's more Omalu and more Bailes.
977 01:22:57 Bailes. Why do I know that name?
978 01:23:00 Steelers team doctor.Neurologist for the Players Association.
979 01:23:07 - Wow.- Yeah, wow.
980 01:23:09 The Times is calling ita potential epidemic.
981 01:23:12 Paul.
982 01:23:15 It's not the Sports section, not Science.
983 01:23:18 It's A-1, front page New York Times.
984 01:23:27 Apparently, the Commissioner
985 01:23:28 has been yearning for yearsto go back to his litigator roots.
986 01:23:31 Paul Tagliabue announced that he wouldretire in July after nearly 17 years.

988 01:23:43 At the NFL owners meeting in Illinois,Roger Goodell...
989 01:23:46 There's a new sheriff in town.His name is Roger Goodell.
990 01:23:49 Each day seems to bringa fresh round of tributes.
991 01:23:51 What I'm here to do nowis protect the shield.
992 01:23:54 The NFL isn't just a sports league.
993 01:23:58 It's an entertainment product.
994 01:24:00 America's game.
995 01:24:01 I want us to go on enjoyingour great game...

997 01:24:05 Sure, one second.
998 01:24:08 - It's Dr. Julian Bailes.- Yes, yeah.
999 01:24:11 Here he is.
1000 01:24:13 Julian.
1001 01:24:15 - Hey, turn on the TV.- Yes, I'm watching.
1002 01:24:17 You asked for a face-to-facewith the Commissioner? Man to man?
1003 01:24:22 Goodell and the NFLare asking for a concussion summit.
1004 01:24:26 A full presentation in Chicago next week.
1005 01:24:31 They heard you.
1006 01:24:33 You have your shot.
1007 01:24:36 Julian.
1008 01:24:52 Why don't you throw insome football stuff?
1009 01:24:54 Some non-medical terms?
1010 01:24:56 Things we'd say.
1011 01:24:58 Why do I need to say things they'd say?
1012 01:25:02 I thought I was here for the other reason.
1013 01:25:05 No.
1014 01:25:06 You have what, seven, eight degrees?
1015 01:25:09 You're one of the smartest peoplethey'll ever meet.
1016 01:25:14 You know what?
1017 01:25:16 You're gonna be fine.
1018 01:25:27 How about you?
1019 01:25:31 How will you be?
1020 01:25:37 You know, it is a mindless, violent gameand then it's Shakespeare.
1021 01:25:43 I mean, to me it's like life that way.
1022 01:25:45 And I know you can't see how exciting
1023 01:25:49 and beautiful all that is,and I don't blame you.
1024 01:25:55 But what I'm trying to tell you isthis is not fun for me.
1025 01:26:01 All of the people we're going tosee tomorrow, I know them personally.
1026 01:26:05 And that feeling you have
1027 01:26:06 when someone you love and admirescrews you over?
1028 01:26:14 They're going to have that feeling.
1029 01:26:19 Because of me.
1030 01:26:22 And there is not a damn thingI can do about it.
1031 01:26:45 Hey.
1032 01:26:46 We have to talk.
1033 01:26:48 What's wrong?
1034 01:26:52 There's no easy way to say this,so I'm just going to say it.
1035 01:26:56 They're not gonna let you speak.
1036 01:26:59 What?
1037 01:27:01 They don't even want you in the room.
1038 01:27:06 They want me to do it.
1039 01:27:10 - One of their own.- One of their own.
1040 01:27:12 - So, they want to pretend...- That you don't even exist, that's right.
1041 01:27:15 Okay. Yeah.
1042 01:27:17 - They still have to sit and listen.- To you.
1043 01:27:20 Yes. You blew up their whole world.
1044 01:27:22 And yours, Julian.
1045 01:27:24 Yes. Mine.
1046 01:27:26 Because how can it be possiblethat some African voodoo doctor
1047 01:27:32 could understand this subjectbetter than them?
1048 01:27:36 Or even better than you?
1049 01:27:39 Wait a second.You think this is about Bennet Omalu?
1050 01:27:42 I'm not here because of you.I'm here because people are dying.
1051 01:27:45 You are here for redemption.
1052 01:27:47 You are here to use meto cleanse your sins.
1053 01:27:52 You self-righteous bastard.
1054 01:27:56 Do you have any idea what I could have,how much I could have
1055 01:28:00 if I went back to my side of the balland just kept my mouth shut?
1056 01:28:06 Everything in my world is telling menot to agree with you, except one.
1057 01:28:11 Science.
1058 01:28:13 So, here I am.
1059 01:28:15 Up here, beside you.Not down there in that audience with them.
1060 01:28:22 What more can I do to prove myself to you?
1061 01:28:54 I am sorry.
1062 01:28:58 Convince them, Julian.
1063 01:29:17 You know, my father can't remembera goddamn thing.
1064 01:29:19 He never played a day of football.
1065 01:29:22 He was too busy working in a factory,you quack!
1066 01:29:25 I beg your pardon?
1067 01:29:26 You take your bullshit science,go back to Africa.
1068 01:29:29 And get away from our game!
1069 01:29:35 What happened?
1070 01:29:36 Roger Goodell just said that
1071 01:29:38 Justin Strzelczyk may havegotten his concussion swimming.
1072 01:29:42 In a swimming pool.
1073 01:29:44 That's insanity.
1074 01:29:45 This whole thing was staged.
1075 01:29:47 They needed to say that they heard usso they could goddamn bury us.
1076 01:29:50 The science means nothing to them.
1077 01:29:53 This is an important dayin the National Football League.
1078 01:29:56 We've had some very good dialogue
1079 01:29:59 which will help us improvethe care for our players.
1080 01:30:03 What do you think when you hear aboutformer NFL players suffering from symptoms
1081 01:30:08 that has only seen in boxersand people at over 80 years old?
1082 01:30:11 I mean, what does that sayabout the effect of concussions on players?
1083 01:30:14 I'm not a doctor here, but you have tolook at their entire medical history.
1084 01:30:19 This is an evolving science.And that's okay.
1085 01:30:22 While I agree with the Commissioner,
1086 01:30:25 no empirically determined proofwas presented today.
1087 01:30:30 Because there simply isn't any.
1088 01:30:33 Because according tothe NFL's own numbers,
1089 01:30:36 half of all players with concussionsare sent back into the same game,
1090 01:30:40 including somewho were actually knocked out cold.
1091 01:30:45 Ira Casson was head of the team ofNFL doctors who had looked into the issue
1092 01:30:50 and determined that the concernover head injuries was overblown.
1093 01:30:55 Is there any evidence,as far as you're concerned,
1094 01:30:58 that links multiple head injuriesamong pro football players with depression?
1095 01:31:03 No.
1096 01:31:04 - With dementia?- No.
1097 01:31:07 With early onset of Alzheimer's?
1098 01:31:09 No.
1099 01:31:10 Is there any evidenceas of today that links
1100 01:31:14 multiple head injurieswith any long-term problem like that?
1101 01:31:18 - In NFL players? No.- Yeah.
1102 01:31:48 Hey, little one.
1103 01:31:52 This is your father.
1104 01:31:58 I am in deep shit.
1105 01:32:05 I have not done anything wrong,
1106 01:32:09 but I am being punished.
1107 01:32:18 It might not be so nicewhen you get out here.
1108 01:32:26 You are still with God.
1109 01:32:30 Please ask Him to help me.
1110 01:33:05 It's all right. It's okay.
1111 01:33:14 - What is this?- This is the FBI.
1112 01:33:17 Apparently, I'm being relievedof my duties.
1113 01:33:19 What? I don't understand.
1114 01:33:21 Dr. Wecht has been indictedon 84 federal counts, including...
1115 01:33:25 Please, please, Tex.Let me at least have the joy of telling him.
1116 01:33:28 I'm being indicted on 84 federal counts,
1117 01:33:32 including mail fraud, wire fraud,other related offenses, arising out of
1118 01:33:37 my use of government resourcesto advance my private practice.
1119 01:33:42 Including, but not limited tomileage vouchers,
1120 01:33:46 misuse of office stationeryand my personal use of the fax machine.
1121 01:33:54 - Faxes?- Yeah.
1122 01:33:55 They could not come upwith something this stupid in Nigeria.
1123 01:33:58 This man has been a public servantfor decades.
1124 01:34:04 Cyril.
1125 01:34:06 Have you ever performedany private services on county time?
1126 01:34:09 Have I?
1127 01:34:11 Apparently, we've both hurtthe government's feelings.
1128 01:34:16 Are you referring to the death row casewhere I used my personal time?
1129 01:34:20 We don't want you, Dr. Omalu,but we can have you.
1130 01:34:24 - And what does that mean?- That means they want your testimony.
1131 01:34:29 - Against you?- Yes.
1132 01:34:33 I understand.
1133 01:34:35 You are attacking him to get to me.
1134 01:34:39 I know.
1135 01:34:41 This is because his nameis on my research.
1136 01:34:45 What research is that?
1137 01:34:48 No. I will resign first.
1138 01:34:50 In which case,your immigration status will be revised
1139 01:34:53 since your status requiresfull-time employment.
1140 01:34:57 Then I will get another jobin another city.
1141 01:35:00 That would be fine.
1142 01:35:12 Bennet.
1143 01:35:25 All I asked is that if you did this,we both came out okay.
1144 01:35:30 Not professional ruination.
1145 01:35:35 Whoever...
1146 01:35:37 Whatever takes over for me,
1147 01:35:41 they're going to want the CTE information,you know that.
1148 01:35:46 What if they show up here with a warrant?
1149 01:35:48 On suspicion of what? Science?
1150 01:35:51 Suspicion of bullshit. We got screwed.
1151 01:35:55 You didn't deserve it.
1152 01:35:58 You know the worst part? How easy it was.
1153 01:36:01 Cyril, they are not going tomake me say one word against you.
1154 01:36:06 What are you gonna say?
1155 01:36:08 Cyril Wecht's a loudmouth asshole?
1156 01:36:12 I don't care. I'm tired.
1157 01:36:15 My balls are low.
1158 01:36:24 I didn't do good enough by you.
1159 01:36:29 Cyril.
1160 01:36:32 I cannot go back to Nigeria.
1161 01:36:37 Everything that I am is here.
1162 01:36:42 My child has got to be born in America.
1163 01:36:47 Don't worry.
1164 01:36:49 I'll get you a job.
1165 01:36:51 Hey, you can work with mein the prison laundry.
1166 01:37:00 Call the surgeon.
1167 01:37:02 We need a goddamn drink.
1168 01:38:02 I solved the problem.
1169 01:38:04 All they have to do isput on the side of the helmet,
1170 01:38:06 "The Surgeon General has determined thatplaying football is hazardous to your health."
1171 01:38:11 You got to put it on both sidesof the helmet.
1172 01:38:27 Did you know that Paul Tagliabue,this is the former Commissioner Tagliabue,
1173 01:38:30 did you know Paul was a partnerin Covington and Burling?
1174 01:38:33 Which is the same law firm that representedthe big seven tobacco companies.
1175 01:38:36 Of course he was.
1176 01:38:37 But now they're representingthe National Football League.
1177 01:38:39 Of course they do.
1178 01:38:51 My last year with the Steelers,
1179 01:38:53 we moved a game from a Sundayto a Tuesday because of a blizzard.
1180 01:38:57 And the League said that theyweren't concerned about the ratings
1181 01:38:59 because the Leaguewas immune from acts of God.
1182 01:39:25 Bennet!
1183 01:39:27 Bennet!
1184 01:39:54 I'm so sorry.
1185 01:39:56 There's no heartbeat.
1186 01:40:02 May we have the room, please?
1187 01:40:04 Excuse us. Thank you.
1188 01:40:24 I'm so sorry.
1189 01:40:27 I'm so sorry. I made a mistake.
1190 01:40:30 This is my fault.
1191 01:41:04 I wish I never met Mike Webster.
1192 01:41:12 They destroyed us.
1193 01:41:17 And I don't understandwhy it is happening this way.
1194 01:41:26 Bennet, listen to me.
1195 01:41:31 Do you know what I chose to fake?
1196 01:41:39 You.
1197 01:41:47 We will have this family.
1198 01:41:50 Yes.
1199 01:41:52 We will.
1200 01:41:56 Just not here.
1201 01:42:01 We have to go.
1202 01:42:39 Hello? Mr. Omalu?
1203 01:42:44 Dr. Omalu.
1204 01:42:46 I just need the measurementsfor the flat screens.
1205 01:42:51 That won't be necessary.
1206 01:45:29 Tell me what happened to you, Jose.
1207 01:45:33 Tell me.
1208 01:45:35 It's going to be okay.
1209 01:45:47 Listen.
1210 01:45:49 My mind keeps slipping.
1211 01:45:52 I can't seem to findthe goddamn words no more.
1212 01:45:55 What?
1213 01:46:01 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1214 01:46:05 I just can't do this.
1215 01:46:07 And I'm sorry.
1216 01:46:53 Yes.
1217 01:46:54 Bennet, it's Julian.
1218 01:46:58 Dave Duerson killed himself today.
1219 01:47:01 Shot himself in the chest. In the heart.
1220 01:47:03 Hold on, hold on.
1221 01:47:11 - My God.- He left a note.
1222 01:47:14 He wants his brain to be donated.
1223 01:47:16 To be examined.
1224 01:47:22 They said that we were right.
1225 01:47:28 Benny, you there?
1226 01:47:31 Yes. Yes, I'm here.
1227 01:47:36 A Pro Bowler in that deepwith NFL leadership
1228 01:47:39 killing himself in the way he killed himself,they can't explain this one away.
1229 01:47:44 Players are gonna want tohear from you now.
1230 01:47:54 Trying to find the...
1231 01:48:14 I don't know what to say to them.
1232 01:48:21 Tell them what's really happening.
1233 01:49:13 Hello.
1234 01:49:20 A small boy came to me
1235 01:49:25 and said, "Mister,why do you hate football?"
1236 01:49:29 I said, "I don't hate football."
1237 01:49:32 He said,"Yes, my father said you hate football."
1238 01:49:36 I said, "You tell your fatherto come see me."
1239 01:49:43 My wife watches the games.
1240 01:49:46 And she will scream and she will jump.
1241 01:49:51 She startles me a lot.
1242 01:49:56 But through her eyes, I can see the beauty
1243 01:50:00 and the grace, the power.
1244 01:50:07 I said to herthat I wished I'd never met Mike Webster.
1245 01:50:23 But that was before I knew him.
1246 01:50:29 He has given me a great gift.
1247 01:50:37 A dangerous gift.
1248 01:50:41 The gift of knowing.
1249 01:50:45 When a man is a soldier,he knows what is at risk.
1250 01:50:50 He may be injured or even killed.
1251 01:50:55 But when a man is a football player,he knows he may break his arm or his leg.
1252 01:51:04 He does not knowthat he can lose his mind.
1253 01:51:10 His family, his money.
1254 01:51:15 His life.
1255 01:51:19 They have to know.
1256 01:51:27 Mike Webster.
1257 01:51:29 Justin Strzelczyk.
1258 01:51:31 Terry Long.
1259 01:51:34 Andre Waters.
1260 01:51:37 Dave Duerson.
1261 01:51:40 By dying, they speak for the living.
1262 01:51:47 And I speak for them.
1263 01:51:51 That is all I do.
1264 01:51:56 Forgive them.
1265 01:52:01 Forgive yourselves.
1266 01:52:10 Be at peace.
1267 01:52:17 Commissioner Goodell,is there a link between
1268 01:52:21 playing professional footballand the likelihood
1269 01:52:24 of contracting a brain-related injury
1270 01:52:28 such as dementia, Alzheimer's, depressionor CTE?
1271 01:52:34 We're doing everythingwe possibly can for our players now.
1272 01:52:37 I just asked you a simple question.What's the answer?
1273 01:52:41 It sort of reminds meof the tobacco companies, pre-'90s,
1274 01:52:45 when they kept saying,"No, there's no link
1275 01:52:48 "between smokingand damage to your health,
1276 01:52:50 "or ill health effects."
1277 01:52:52 And they were forced to admitthat that was incorrect
1278 01:52:56 through a spate of litigationin the 1990s.
1279 01:52:59 And my question to you is...
1280 01:53:02 We have heard from the NFLtime and time again.
1281 01:53:05 You're always "studying,"you're always "trying, " you're "hopeful."
1282 01:53:09 Son of a bitch.
1283 01:53:11 I want to know what are you doingin the negotiations that are going on now
1284 01:53:14 to deal with this problemand the other problems related to the injuries
1285 01:53:19 that football players obtainand its impact on their health.
1286 01:53:26 You did all this.
1287 01:53:28 I know my time is drawing to a close,
1288 01:53:30 but let me just say this to Mr. Goodelland everybody who's here today
1289 01:53:35 that I think it's time for the Congressof the United States to take a look.
1290 01:53:42 - First time in Washington?- Yes.
1291 01:53:45 We're thrilled you acceptedour invitation.
1292 01:53:48 I was very curious.
1293 01:53:52 Chief Medical Examinerfor Washington, D.C.,
1294 01:53:55 means you would also consult with the CIAand FBI and any foreign government
1295 01:53:59 requesting the assistanceof the United States government.
1296 01:54:03 Essentially, you're America'sforensic pathologist.
1297 01:54:07 Wouldn't have to put on scrubsor perform an autopsy.
1298 01:54:11 You're beyond all that now.
1299 01:54:18 Would you like to hear aboutthe benefits package?
1300 01:54:21 No.
1301 01:54:23 I mean, I'm sure it's fine.
1302 01:54:31 We know everything you did, Dr. Omalu.
1303 01:54:36 You exemplify everything it isto be an American.
1304 01:54:40 You belong here with us,in the nation's capital.
1305 01:54:57 Why don't you take a couple daysand think about it?
1306 01:55:35 Ready.
1307 01:55:39 Hut!
1308 01:55:41 Get up, get up field,get up field, get up field!

1317 01:56:04 - Let's go, let's go, tempo, tempo!- Tempo, tempo!
1318 01:56:12 How 'bout we hit somebody this time?
1319 01:56:15 Try a little more contact.
1320 01:56:17 One-sixteen, one-sixteen!
1321 01:56:46 A tragic loss for the family and fansof former Chargers star Junior Seau
1322 01:56:51 after he was found deadin his Oceanside home.
1323 01:56:53 Good eveningand thanks for joining us tonight.
1324 01:56:55 Junior Seau's deathis being investigated as a suicide.
1325 01:56:59 Police say his girlfriendreported finding him
1326 01:57:01 with an apparently self-inflictedgunshot wound to the chest.
1327 01:57:04 Tonight there's widespread shockand disbelief over the sudden death.
