Concussion

Ready.

Set, hut!

Nice job, nice job. Tempo, tempo. Let's go.

- On the ball, on the ball. Let's go. On the ball, let's go.

Reset.

Tempo, tempo. Let's pick it up this time, boys.

What personnel they got, Coach? All right, let's change it.

Wall right, wall right.

Make sure you pick off the flyer. Here we go, here we go. Everybody up!

Ready. Set!

Watch the motion. Set, hut!

There you go, get it, get it. Turn up, turn up, turn up!

- Think fast! There you go. Just like this.

- (WHISTLE BLOWS) - There you go. Nice job. Nice job.

Mike did. Someone to help me with maximum protection. Mike did.

Someone to help me call the play. Mike did.

Someone to help me get the team in line. Mike did it.

Mike controlled it, Mike ran it.

We needed him, we used him, we leaned on him.

- (CROWD CHEERING) - He was our strength in our offense.

I know this man. I know his backside as well as anybody.

Simply, nothing has ever compared to Mike Webster.

Ladies and gentlemen, the greatest center in the history of the National Football League,

your inductee into the Hall of Fame, number 52, "Iron Mike" Webster!

Way to go, Mike!

Uh...

I'd like to begin...

Um, obviously, I want it to be fun, but I want to be truthful.

'Cause the people out there are tremendous fans, uh, locally.

But as we, uh, as we go through this, I want you to understand

the greatest thing that has happened to me in my experience of professional football

is to have the opportunity to work with people with a common goal

and with the same purpose, and to sacrifice.

I'll say this,

it's painful playing football, obviously.

And, uh, it's not a lot of fun out there

to be in two-a-day drills in the heat of the summer,

and, uh, banging heads.

It's not a natural thing.

I was scared I'd fail. Honest to God, I was scared I'd fail.

I'm still scared of that.

And all we have to do is finish the game.

If we finish, we win.

Yeah.

- (BELL DINGING) - (TRAIN CHUGGING)

The state has asked, after a lengthy trial,

a death sentence and two appeals, why we would learn anything new from you.

Dr. Omalu, do you have a medical degree?

Uh, yes. From the University of Nigeria.

At Enugu, Nigeria.

And I did my residency

at Columbia University Medical School in New York.

Um, I also have master's degrees in Public Health and Epidemiology.

In addition, I am a certified physician executive,

uh, with a specialty in Emergency Medicine.

And, of course, I'm board-certified

in Forensic Pathology, Clinical Pathology and Anatomic Pathology.

Uh, my... My focus is Neuropathology, the examination of the brain.

- While working as a Medical... - I'm sorry. So sorry. I'm sorry.

Uh, I'm also completing my MBA at Carnegie Mellon University.

Oh, uh, and, uh, before I came to America,

a master's degree in the Theory of Music from the Royal School of Music in London.

Oh, but... Oh, your... Your original question, uh, what can I add?

Um...

My specialty is the science of death.

I think more about why people die than I do the way people live.

Hands of the deceased.

Broken and dislodged fingernails.

The hands of a woman who fought wildly for her life and lost.

The hands of the defendant, Thomas Chambers.

And that is, in fact, the blood of the victim.

Now, doesn't that suggest that the state has the right man?

I thought so, until I heard hour 217 of Mr. Chambers' police interview.

I heard him very clearly say, "I hate blood.

"I had a tooth pulled as a child once and it would not stop bleeding."

- So, I got curious. - What about?

Hands. I could not reconcile these conflicting sets of hands.

So, my mind... My mind is... My mind is going mad, and I'm trying to figure out

if Thomas Chambers' family has a history of hemophilia.

So, I asked his father and, uh, his father said no.

But there is a strain of hemophilia, hemophilia A,

so rare that it is never tested for.

Mr. Chambers tested positive for hemophilia A.

His hands may have touched the victim, perhaps to aid her, as he claims.

If his hands had been the murder weapon, if he had been scratched or bitten,

he would have bled to death.

If the state of Pennsylvania moves forward to execute,

you will be killing an innocent man.

(SINGING) Happy birthday to...

Way to go, Joe.

- Good morning, Gracie. - Good morning, Dr. Omalu.

- Here are the cases for today. Mmm-hmm. - Okay. This is from yesterday.

Hey, we got a full room today.

- Cycle 'em through. - Yes.

Let's begin with Rachel Green.

Okay, Rachel, I need your help.

We are in this together.

Please help me find out what happened to you.

Here we go.

Danny, come on.

Gracie.

Dr. Omalu uses different stuff. Makes less of a mess.

Lookin' back over my years

I guess I've shedded some tears

Told myself time and time again

This time I'm gonna win

But another fight

Things ain't right...

Possible causal relationship

between self-medication and early head trauma,

leading to narcotics abuse and overdose.

You're not her shrink, Bennet!

If I know how she lived, I know why she died.

And you should be careful, Danny.

One day, I may be rushing through your autopsy.

Dr. Wecht, Dr. Omalu is here to see you.

You know the reason you're not back in Nigeria, don't you?

Uh, yes. Because I remind you of you.

Only less handsome.

Sit.

What the hell is going on down there?

Nothing. I'm doing my work. I'm fine.

You're not fine.

Danny hates your guts. I've never seen anything like it.

I think you're working a little too slow.

I'm a doctor.

The dead are my patients. I treat them with respect.

But do you have to talk to them?

If you have to do that, talk to them in your head.

And we discussed the knives. You're still throwing them away.

We're a public agency in Pittsburgh.

They're expensive. Reuse them.

Would you want me to cut open your mother with the same knife I used on a serial killer?

Yes.

I'd probably request it.

Cyril.

You need a girlfriend.

You need to touch somebody alive every once in a while.

Living women are... Well, occasionally they're a pain in the ass,

but quite often, they're amazing.

Give it a try.

Okay.

Just be a little less of an artist.

- Fit in a little more. - Yes.

It's another death row case.

The guy's being railroaded.

$1,000 for you.

Cyril.

Uh... (SIGHS)

- (BELL DINGING) - (TRAIN HORN BLOWING)

Webby.

Hey, man.

I am loving the digs.

Mike.

It's Justin.

- I'll just sit with you for a minute, huh? - Yeah.

Jugger.

We're all worried about you, man.

- (INHALES DEEPLY) - What are you doing, Mike? Mike! Mike!

- What are y'all doing? Give me that. - No, no, no!

It's all right. It's just...

I just... (GROANS)

I don't want to go to sleep.

I heard you sold your Super Bowl rings, Mike.

Your Super Bowl rings, Mike.

Mike, hey.

Pam's your wife.

- Garrett's your boy. - Yeah, yeah.

I'm starting to forget things.

I'm saying this crazy crap to my kids.

I nearly pushed Keana into a wall.

- I never thought I'd do that to her. - All right, well, don't...

Just don't give up.

All we got to do is finish the game.

We'll all be winners. Okay?

(SINGING) To the upright I will show

The saving power of God

(SINGING) To the upright

I will show

The saving power of God

How great

How great

Is our God

How great

How great

Is our God

Have a good day. It's good to see you.
