00:20:25The MRI came back normal and we've eliminated the possibility that you had a stroke or a blood clot.
00:20:30Two things that frankly I was worried about.
00:20:32But the results are all clear, that's what matters.
00:20:39Oh, uh...

00:21:46I don't really drink.
00:21:47Pretty much.
00:21:48You have got to get yourself together.
00:21:51You can't live like this.

00:22:01Okay, let me take a look at this leak, and then we'll clean it up together.
00:22:07Wait, is it here or here?
00:22:09It's on the top, Dad.
00:22:11Where a normal drip comes from.
00:22:13No, it's fine under here.
00:22:14It's all dry.
00:22:15There's nothing going on here.
00:22:16Let me see.
00:22:18There's a drip.
00:22:21It just happened, Dad.
00:22:25You didn't see that?
00:22:26Susanna, there is no drip.
00:22:30There's a drip.
00:22:31It's all work going okay?
00:22:32Yeah.
00:22:33It's good.
00:22:34Hey, listen.
00:22:35Don't let the place get like this again.
00:22:36It's nice for me to know you live in some kind of cleanliness and comfort here.
00:22:41So, this Steven.
00:22:42You really like him, huh?
00:22:43Yeah.
00:22:44Yeah.
00:22:45I mean, he's a good guy.
00:22:46And I think you'll really like him once you get to know him.
00:22:48Yeah?
00:22:49Mm-hmm.
00:22:50I'm sure he's not just some placeholder.
00:22:51Because a lot of guys, they don't like to stick around.
00:22:52Like you, Dad.
00:22:53Okay.
00:22:54I'm gonna go.
00:22:55I'm kidding.
00:22:56All right.
00:22:57Love you.
00:22:58Drive safe, okay?
00:22:59Buy some trash bags.
00:23:00I will.
00:23:01Love you.
00:23:02Okay.

00:23:06Okay.
00:23:07Okay.

00:23:13Buy some trash bags.

00:23:36The Senator.
00:23:37Oh.
00:23:38Oh, God.
00:23:39Uh.
00:23:40Oh, my God.
00:23:41Okay.
00:23:42Okay.
00:23:43Oh, wait.
00:23:44I'm not ready for this.
00:23:59Just take a deep breath.
00:24:01Just take a deep breath. You have this.
00:24:04Good luck.
00:24:08What's going on? You're not ready for me.
00:24:10Hi.
00:24:11Hi. Thank you for meeting me.
00:24:13Uh-huh.
00:24:15Um.
00:24:17Um.
00:24:23Okay.
00:24:24Uh, what do you, um, what do you have to say of your actions?
00:24:27And, and what do you have to say to the good people of, um, New Jersey?
00:24:32Obviously, I'm, I'm deeply regretful for what has happened.
00:24:36I've let myself down, my family down, and...
00:24:39Let your pants down.
00:24:43Um.
00:24:45Sorry, uh, keep, keep, keep going with what you, with what you were saying.
00:24:48Um.
00:24:49Sorry.
00:24:49As I was saying, the people of New Jersey who elected me are fine people.
00:24:53And...
00:24:54I'm sorry.
00:24:59It sounded just like he said erected.
00:25:00I mean, you gotta admit, it sounded pretty much like that.
00:25:04Are you alright, young lady?
00:25:08Yeah.
00:25:08Yeah, no, I'm good.
00:25:09I'm good.
00:25:10No, no, um, um, um, I'm sorry.
00:25:12I have, I have more questions to, to ask you.
00:25:15I'm sorry.
00:25:15This interview is over.
00:25:17No.
00:25:17No, no, no, no.
00:25:19Did Richard put you up to this?
00:25:20No.
00:25:21No, this is totally a joke.
00:25:23Sit down.
00:25:23I'm not done with the interview.
00:25:24No, we have to.
00:25:25I'm not done with it.
00:25:25You're not leaving me.
00:25:27No, no, no, fine.
00:25:29Okay, yeah.
00:25:30Oh, Jesus.
00:25:31Oh, my God.
00:25:32It's okay.
00:25:34No, no, I'm good.
00:25:35I'm good, right?
00:25:36I'm good.
00:25:37Okay, I'm good.
00:25:38Let me make this clear to you.
00:25:39The publicist that represents that senator, it's not just about him.
00:25:42They represent celebrities and athletes and everybody else.
00:25:44And with all of those people that we may want to talk to, we can't even get them on the phone
00:25:48because of what you did here.
00:25:50That is going to be a problem for me.
00:25:52That is going to be a problem for my boss.
00:25:53And that is a problem for this paper.
00:25:55You should be fired.
00:25:56You should be fired.
00:26:02Get out of here.
00:26:04Get out now.
00:26:05Get out now.
00:26:35I honestly don't know.
00:27:01I know that she's been acting strange for sure.
00:27:05for like a week.
00:27:07Is she drinking a lot?
00:27:10She looks hungover.
00:27:12Yeah, I don't know.
00:27:12I mean, I don't think so, but I don't know what she does with her boyfriend.
00:27:16Is she on drugs?
00:27:18No.
00:27:20Really?
00:27:20I don't know.
00:27:21I'm asking.
00:27:22I don't think so.
00:27:24You sure?
00:27:25Yeah.
00:27:26I'm definitely sure she's not on drugs.
00:27:28I don't think she's acting normal, but I don't think she's like to drugs.
00:27:32Just let me keep my eye on her.
00:27:34Just for a little while.
00:27:36All right, but I'm going to tell you this.
00:27:38You keep me informed, because if this keeps up, she's going to have to start working from home.
00:27:42I don't know what's going on with her.
00:27:43I'm serious.
00:27:44Yeah, I understand.
00:27:46I understand.
00:27:47Okay.
00:28:14Oh, shit.

00:36:47I've seen this dozens of times before usually with bankers and Wall Street guys who come in all stressed out
00:36:52There's nothing wrong with them. It's all in their heads
00:36:58Look into my eyes and tell me honestly because there's no judgments here
00:37:02How much alcohol are you drinking a day?
00:37:07Maybe a glass of wine at night
00:37:09You know when my boyfriend comes over or I go to his we split a bottle but
00:37:14nothing major
00:37:16Some beer at gigs
00:37:18Any drug use?
00:37:20Not in a while
00:37:23Plain and simple she's partying too hard. She's not sleeping and she's working too hard
00:37:27I've seen this happen a lot in young adults making the transition from college to working full-time
00:37:32It's a change in life a move to adulthood. That's what you think this is
00:37:35Mrs. Snack. I have nearly 20 years experience in the city. I've seen it all
00:37:41Just make sure she doesn't drink she takes the anti-seizure meds that I prescribed and everything should be fine
00:37:46Okay, great. Thank you

00:40:51Come on.
00:40:52I'm here.
00:40:53Yeah.
00:40:54Okay.
00:40:55What the hell is going on with you?
00:40:56What are you doing?
00:40:57I was in a meeting.
00:40:58I need to be able to be a hard-hitting investigator.
00:41:02And I'm ready for it.
00:41:03I'm ready for it.
00:41:04Susanna.
00:41:05You're screaming through the office.
00:41:07You're talking a mile a minute.
00:41:09What the hell is going on with you?
00:41:11I'm excited!
00:41:12Richard, have you never seen someone who's passionate and excited about something?
00:41:16Yep.
00:41:17I know the workers out there just kinda type on their computers and get shit done.
00:41:20But I'm not doing that!
00:41:22Susanna, when's the last time you spoke to your family?
00:41:24I don't even know why this matters here.
00:41:26What do they say?
00:41:27Do they see you?
00:41:28Richard!
00:41:29They support me!
00:41:30I'm supported by everyone!
00:41:31But I'm not feeling it from you, Richard!
00:41:33So that's the question!
00:41:34Do you support me?
00:41:35Like my family supports me?
00:41:37Like Margo supports me?
00:41:39Or what?
00:41:41Hmm?
00:41:42I want you to go home.
00:41:44I'm gonna support you from home.
00:41:46I want you to go home.
00:41:47Are you firing me?
00:41:48No, I'm not firing you.
00:41:49I'm sending you home.
00:41:50Great.
00:41:51Good talk.
00:41:52Send me that email.
00:41:54Yeah, I need Susanna Cahalan's personal file brought up to me, please.
00:42:10Any contacts for our family?
00:42:11Yeah, thanks.
00:42:12Thanks.
00:42:17Thanks.
00:42:18Thanks.
00:42:46I don't know.
00:43:16I don't know.
00:43:46I'm sorry. Say that again.
00:44:00I'm bipolar.
00:44:01Tell me why you think you're bipolar.
00:44:04I googled it.
00:44:05You googled it?
00:44:07Yes. Over the last two weeks, I haven't been able to concentrate, eat, sleep.
00:44:11I smile, I cry, I laugh, I'm happy, I'm sad.
00:44:15But what I do know, doctor, is that I'm a creative person.
00:44:20I'm creative.
00:44:22And this happens to creative people.
00:44:23A lot of creative people are bipolar.
00:44:26Bipolar is what makes me who I am.
00:44:28It's just a part of me, and I have to accept that.
00:44:30Have you ever felt like this before, any time in your life?
00:44:36I mean, I've always been energetic.
00:44:39Ever suicidal?
00:44:42No.
00:44:44I mean, everyone daydreams about dying.
00:44:50But I don't want to die.
00:44:51All right.
00:44:54So I'm bipolar, right?
00:44:59It's too early to say for sure.
00:45:01But, you know, I do see serious signs of mixed episodes, meaning extremely high highs and very low lows.
00:45:08But, uh, I happen to agree with Dr. Sampson.
00:45:10I mean, you have a lot going on in your life right now.
00:45:12Sometimes that comes across as manic and depressive elements, typical of bipolar disorder.
00:45:17But just because you got a bruise on your face doesn't mean you've been punched.
00:45:21So I'm going to give you a prescription for olanzapine.
00:45:25It's an antipsychotic prescribed to treat mood and thought disorders.
00:45:30Take these pills.
00:45:32Check back in with me.
00:45:34Let me know how you're responding.
00:45:35And we'll make a follow-up appointment in a month.
00:45:39Why are you walking away from me right now?
00:45:41I looked this up.
00:45:43All right?
00:45:43I'm not making it up for fun right now.
00:45:46Listen to me.
00:45:47You want to hear the side effects?
00:45:49Euphoria, fever, general feeling of discomfort and illness, headache, hyperventilation, irregular heartbeats, irritability, mom...
00:45:54This is it!
00:45:57It's making me crazy!
00:45:59Susanna, you have been on them for 24 hours.
00:46:04No, love, it doesn't matter, okay?
00:46:06They're poison.
00:46:07They are toxic.
00:46:09Just take the pills, okay?
00:46:11You want me to die?
00:46:11Take the pills for me, do it for your mother, take the pills!
00:46:19Give them a chance to work!
00:46:22Please!
00:46:23You know what?
00:46:42When I die, I want you to bury me right next to Granny.
00:46:46Bipolar?
00:47:02Bipolar?
00:47:02It doesn't sound right to me.
00:47:06Maybe she is drinking too much.
00:47:09You sure you're not overreacting?
00:47:11You haven't seen it, so you don't know, okay?
00:47:13I'm not overreacting, our daughter is in trouble, and I'm exhausted, and I need you to, I need you to help me, I need you to take her.
00:47:22Okay.
00:47:24I will keep an eye on her.
00:47:28And we will get to the bottom of this if we stick together.
00:47:31Yep.
00:47:33Intense though, you'll see.
00:47:35It's really scary.
00:47:37Okay.
00:47:41Susanna!
00:47:41Bunch is ready.
00:47:44It's a nice day.
00:47:46Yeah, it's nice out.
00:47:49I want a juice or water?
00:47:59You sleep okay?
00:48:04Why don't you go on ahead and take a seat?
00:48:09What is it?
00:48:11Want some bread?
00:48:19Here you are.
00:48:23Want some butter?
00:48:25Oh no, I'm good.
00:48:26Okay.
00:48:26Oh my god, stop.
00:48:40Just stop chewing.
00:48:43Are you going to eat?
00:48:46It's your favorite.
00:48:47You just, I'll put in a lot of effort to make this for you.
00:48:55It was no trouble.
00:48:56What did you just say to me?
00:49:08Oh, Susanna, I didn't say anything.
00:49:14Susanna, she said nothing to you.
00:49:15No.
00:49:17No, no, right there.
00:49:19Right there, you just did it again.
00:49:20You just called me a spoiled brat.
00:49:23No.
00:49:23You just said it.
00:49:24You just said it again.
00:49:25No, no, no.
00:49:25She said it again.
00:49:26Don.
00:49:27Why are you doing this to me?
00:49:29What are you talking about?
00:49:29Why did you just say that to me?
00:49:31What?
00:49:31I haven't done anything to you.
00:49:33Why did you just say that to me?
00:49:34She didn't say anything.
00:49:35I heard you say it.
00:49:36No, no, Susanna.
00:49:37You just said it.
00:49:37You're talking to me.
00:49:39Susanna.
00:49:39I just heard you say it.
00:49:40Don't give her a chance.
00:49:41I just heard you say it.
00:49:42What is wrong with you?
00:49:45Susanna, what?
00:49:46What is wrong with you?
00:49:48No.
00:49:48No.
00:49:48No.
00:49:49No.
00:49:49No.
00:49:49No.
00:49:50No.
00:49:50Tell me what is wrong.
00:49:51Get away from me.
00:49:51I can't help you if you don't tell me what is wrong.
00:49:53Get away.
00:49:54Get away.
00:49:54Get away.
00:49:56Get away.
00:49:56It's okay.
00:49:57You're safe.
00:49:57I heard you get away.
00:49:59You're not going to take me.
00:50:01Susanna's trying to get it at me.
00:50:02He's trying to get it at me.
00:50:04No, no one's trying to kidnap you.
00:50:05You're safe.
00:50:06Please.
00:50:06Please.
00:50:07Don't touch me.
00:50:07Don't touch me.
00:50:08Don't touch me.
00:50:08It's okay.
00:50:09Don't touch me.
00:50:10Don't touch me.
00:50:11Don't touch me.
00:50:12Don't touch me.
00:50:15It's okay.
00:50:27It's okay.
00:50:28It's okay.
00:50:32Okay.
00:50:33Look, her EEG is completely normal.
00:50:35Her MRI is normal.
00:50:37Her neurological exam is normal.
00:50:38Her blood work is all normal.
00:50:39It's all clear.
00:50:40It's all normal.
00:50:41She's drinking too much, and she's exhibiting the classic signs of alcohol withdrawal.
00:50:47I know this is hard to hear about your daughter.
00:50:49She needs to take her medication, stop partying, and get some mental rest.
00:50:53I haven't seen her have a drink in over two weeks.
00:50:55Now, I have been known to enjoy a glass of wine or two in my day, and all I experienced
00:51:00was a bad hangover.
00:51:03Alcohol withdrawal?
00:51:03Are you kidding me?
00:51:05Do you really think we're going to believe that?
00:51:07She needs to be hospitalized now.
00:51:11Not tomorrow.
00:51:11Today.
00:51:12Now.
00:51:12And I am not leaving here until we have a hospital bed that we can put our daughter into tonight.
00:51:16So, go ahead.
00:51:17Call the police.
00:51:18I have nothing to lose.
00:51:24Good morning, Susanna.
00:51:28How are you today?
00:51:35Would you sit up for me, please, Susanna?
00:51:45Great.
00:51:48How are you feeling?
00:51:56You gotta get me out of here.
00:51:58I don't belong here.
00:52:01And they're all saying bad stuff about me.
00:52:04Who's saying bad things about you?
00:52:08Them.
00:52:10The people on the TV right there.
00:52:16Okay.
00:52:18Susanna.
00:52:27Susanna, can you tell me a little bit about how you felt before you came to the hospital?
00:52:36I feel like I disappeared.
00:52:38Can you explain that to me a little more?
00:52:41I'm tired.
00:52:43Mm-hmm.
00:52:44I feel like I wasn't alive.
00:52:45Now, Susanna, I'm going to ask you some basic questions, and I just need you to do your best to answer them.
00:52:51Okay?
00:52:53What's your name?
00:52:54Susanna K. Halen.
00:52:56And do you know what your name is?
00:52:57God, you don't hear that?
00:52:59Hear what?
00:53:00That.
00:53:01I hate you.
00:53:01Susanna, I just need you to focus and answer my questions, okay?
00:53:05One of the wrong girls who went crazy...
00:53:07You gotta get me out of here.
00:53:09Right now, please.
00:53:10Susanna.
00:53:11Okay.
00:53:11Susanna, we're here to help you.
00:53:16We're not going to hurt you, okay?
00:53:17I promise.
00:53:19All right.
00:53:20Don't touch me.
00:53:21Okay.
00:53:21I want you to...
00:53:22I want you to hold out your arms like you're holding a tray, okay?
00:53:30No.
00:53:31No.
00:53:32No.
00:53:32No.
00:53:33No.
00:53:33I'm not doing it anymore.
00:53:35Why are you interrogating me?
00:53:37I'm not interrogating you, Susanna.
00:53:38I'm...
00:53:39Get out!
00:53:40Get out of my room.
00:53:41Okay.
00:53:41We're going to leave you alone now, okay, Susanna?
00:53:43Okay.
00:53:51I recorded some of my songs.
00:53:54That way, when you listen to it, you'll remember some stuff.
00:54:02Hey.
00:54:05Talk to me, Susanna.
00:54:09Please.
00:54:17I'm...
00:54:18I'm scared.
00:54:21It's just...
00:54:24God, Stephen, I feel like...
00:54:26Everyone here is just...
00:54:28Talking about me.
00:54:31I need you.
00:54:32I need you.
00:54:33Hey, hey.
00:54:34Listen to me.
00:54:37We're going to get to the bottom of this.
00:54:40And we're going to get through it together.
00:54:44Really?
00:54:45Yeah.
00:54:46Really.
00:54:51I have multiple personality disorder.
00:54:55Have you been diagnosed by any psychiatrist or psychologist?
00:55:00No.
00:55:01I was diagnosed by a psychiatrist with bipolar disorder, but not multiple personality.
00:55:06And were you taking any medication for that?
00:55:10No.
00:55:11They tried to.
00:55:12But I refused to take it.
00:55:14I spit it out.
00:55:15Dr. Conny, I need to get out of here.
00:55:22It's not safe for me here anymore.
00:55:24What does it not say for you here?
00:55:26They're talking about me.
00:55:29All of them.
00:55:30All of them.
00:55:30I can hear them.
00:55:39The nurses.
00:55:41They're talking about me.
00:55:44And I can hear their thoughts.
00:55:47You can hear their thoughts.
00:55:51You know, they think I can't hear them.
00:55:54But I do.
00:55:56I hear them loud and clear.
00:55:57I don't want to talk to you anymore.
00:56:01I don't want to talk to you anymore.
00:56:23I don't want to talk to you anymore.
00:56:24I don't want to talk to you anymore.
00:56:34I don't want to talk to you anymore.
00:56:50Stop.
00:56:54Help!
00:57:13No!
00:57:18No!
00:57:19No!
00:57:21No!
00:57:25Get out!
00:57:51I can assume two possible diagnoses.
00:58:04First, presentation of schizophrenia versus postictal psychosis.
00:58:09Now, she is clearly psychotic, but the question is, where is this psychotic behavior coming from?
00:58:15I'm going to prescribe haloperidol.
00:58:17It should sedate her enough so that we can do some further testing.
00:58:20But if her behavior doesn't improve, I think we should look at hospitals that are better equipped to deal with her problems.
00:58:27No.
00:58:28No.
00:58:29No.
00:58:31Our daughter is not going into a psych ward.
00:58:34How do you explain the seizures?
00:58:37How do you explain that she has never been like this before in her life?
00:58:40How can you just arrive at this conclusion without all of the facts?
00:58:45Dr. Ryan, why don't you do that further testing before you threaten us with psychiatric hospitals?
00:58:52for all of theirbec has better past achievements.
00:58:53Hello, Miss Annick and Sawyer.
00:58:56Oh yes!
00:58:57Thanks, girls.
00:58:58Okay.
00:59:00Hello, Miss Shelby.
00:59:01Thank you, Dorsey.
00:59:02Come on.
00:59:03Hello, Helen.
00:59:05Thanks a little dude.
00:59:07Ultimately, I'm here with a desk.
00:59:08Welcome back now.
00:59:10Please stand next to me once!
00:59:13멋지ement?
00:59:14You're not good,ということで.
00:59:15Lonnie is a world thank you in this room at-loo.
00:59:17When I hear.
00:59:21You don't bother me
00:59:26You don't have to leave
00:59:31You don't want to leave
00:59:37But you'll never see me
00:59:43You don't have to leave
00:59:51But you'll never see me
00:59:53Well?
01:00:02They have nothing.
01:00:03Nothing?
01:00:05She's been here over a week.
01:00:06I mean, they have to have something.
01:00:07They don't know.
01:00:07Each of them is giving us a different diagnosis.
01:00:09One is saying bipolar.
01:00:10The next one is saying schizophrenic.
01:00:12Then they're saying psychotic.
01:00:14I don't know.
01:00:14What does that even mean?
01:00:16It means nobody knows what the hell is going on.
01:00:17That's what it means.
01:00:19She's not psychotic, whatever it is.
01:00:21It's not bad.
01:00:22I agree.
01:00:22I think it's just the most convenient explanation for them.
01:00:26So we need to continue putting pressure on them
01:00:28so that they continue to investigate.
01:00:31Okay?
01:00:31It's important.
01:00:32Yeah.
01:00:32Pressure.
01:00:35Well, I just want you both to know
01:00:36that I plan on being here every day
01:00:37until I do figure out what's wrong.
01:00:39I want to be with her,
01:00:40and she needs all of us.
01:00:43Thank you, Steven.
01:00:44Yeah.
01:00:47I appreciate that.
01:00:48Excuse us.
01:01:19We should be looking for neurological causes here.
01:01:23We should be looking for neurological causes here.
01:01:26What's up?
01:01:56Susanna!
01:02:03Susanna!
01:02:23Hello?
01:02:25Hi.
01:02:28Don't get too excited.
01:02:31You look great.
01:02:34I brought you some fake flowers.
01:02:37Am I okay to hug you?
01:02:42Oh.
01:02:43I'm just...
01:02:45I'm just gonna do it.
01:02:49Hey, babe.
01:02:50Oh, so what? You don't talk to me now?
01:02:55You wanna talk to me now?
01:03:06I have something for you.
01:03:09It's very disappointing.
01:03:13It's a piece of crap ugly card.
01:03:16And everybody made it in the office.
01:03:18Everybody signed it.
01:03:20And a lot of people said some really, really sappy things that you and I would have made fun of.
01:03:25Even Richard signed it.
01:03:26I think he really misses you.
01:03:27You're like his little apprentice.
01:03:28And I miss you.
01:03:30I think he really misses you.
01:03:32You're like his little apprentice.
01:03:37And I miss you.
01:03:42And he misses you.
01:03:44This is...
01:03:48I'll put this here.
01:03:50We can make fun of it later.
01:03:51We can make fun of it later.
01:04:21We've tested Susanna for every infectious disease that we know of.
01:04:34All of the results are negative, including Lyme disease, toxoplasmosis, cryptococcus, lymphoreticulosis, tuberculosis, and many, many more.
01:04:42All of the tests, being negative, suggest that Susanna has a primary psychiatric illness, which I feel is likely as schizophrenia.
01:04:52So what does all of this mean?
01:04:54Maybe this is not the right hospital to treat her.
01:04:58Perhaps Susanna should be transferred to a psychiatric hospital.
01:05:04Okay, look.
01:05:05I'm gonna continue to monitor Susanna on a daily basis for the next three days.
01:05:09Let's just hope that something shows up and we can figure out a way of solving this and getting your daughter better.
01:05:16Something.
01:05:20I don't understand this.
01:05:22Our daughter is dying in there.
01:05:25The tests are not showing us that she is dying, Mr. Cahalan.
01:05:29The tests are saying that she is a healthy young woman.
01:05:32She is clearly suffering and we are...
01:05:35I want answers.
01:05:36It is your job to give us answers.
01:05:38Mr. Cahalan.
01:05:39No.
01:05:40This ain't some kid's club where you get to play doctor.
01:05:42This is my daughter's life.
01:05:43Her life is in your hands and I want answers.
01:05:46Tell me what is wrong with my daughter.
01:05:49The truth is, Mr. Cahalan, that we don't know what is wrong with Susanna.
01:05:52We work and make decisions based on facts and at this point we don't have any.
01:05:57We're sorry that there's nothing more that we can do.
01:06:00Excuse me.
01:06:01We already have a bed on standby and we're just waiting for your decision.
01:06:05I'm sorry I'm sorry.
01:06:06I'm sorry.
01:06:07You got a bed on standby and we're just waiting for your decision.
01:06:09Ahhhh.
01:06:10I don't know.
01:06:40Fully catatonic.
01:07:10Hey.
01:07:20You okay?
01:07:21Yeah.
01:07:27How are you holding up?
01:07:29It shouldn't be like this, you know.
01:07:33I know she's still in there.
01:07:36She's just trapped.
01:07:37I mean, when I look in her eyes, I can see her screaming to get out.
01:07:43I thought, of all people, you doctors, you know, you'd be able to give us some hope, you know?
01:07:49I mean, that's your job, right?
01:07:57I wish you all a fantastic weekend.
01:08:00And please, pace yourself.
01:08:03I want to see you in my class next week.
01:08:07I want to see you in my class.
01:08:09Wow.
01:08:10Dr. Khan.
01:08:11To what do I owe this pleasure?
01:08:15I need your help.
01:08:17I teach now.
01:08:18Leave me in peace.
01:08:2021-year-old female, right-handed.
01:08:23Her symptoms began with manic behavior, paranoia, erratic outbursts.
01:08:28That led to a general seizure, which led to another one, which led to a third.
01:08:33Her condition continues to regress.
01:08:35Every day.
01:08:36Every day.
01:08:38Sabrina, I teach now.
01:08:42What's crazy is that prior to this, she was completely healthy.
01:08:46She was on no medication whatsoever.
01:08:49Her physical exams were normal.
01:08:50Her neurological exams were normal.
01:08:53Infection workout, negative.
01:08:54Autoimmune test, negative.
01:08:56Toxic metabolic workup, negative.
01:08:58All of it was negative.
01:08:59I admit, it sounds very interesting.
01:09:03But like I said, I teach now.
01:09:05She's on the verge of going to a psychiatric hospital.
01:09:08Dr. Khan, based on what you were telling me, maybe that's where she should be.
01:09:12No.
01:09:13It would be very easy for me to tell her that she's bipolar or schizophrenic.
01:09:17But the fact is, there's just something in my bones that's telling me that that's just not the case.
01:09:22I knew the feeling.
01:09:24Okay.
01:09:25Yeah, we'll take a peek.
01:09:28Great.
01:09:31I wonder what he'll be like.
01:09:34Hopefully confident.
01:09:39Good day.
01:09:40Hello.
01:09:40Hi, I'm Rona.
01:09:42I'm Susanna's mother.
01:09:44Nice to meet you.
01:09:44Pleasure.
01:09:45Tom.
01:09:45I'm her dad.
01:09:46Tom.
01:09:47I'm Dr. Nadjar.
01:09:48And you must be the famous Susanna.
01:09:52Call Mr. Head.
01:09:57Pleasure is all mine.
01:10:00So, please.
01:10:03Have a seat.
01:10:03Okay.
01:10:04Yeah.
01:10:07Susanna, I will do my best to help you.
01:10:11I will not hurt you.
01:10:13And I will never lie to you.
01:10:15Okay?
01:10:16Okay.
01:10:18Let's begin.
01:10:20What is your name?
01:10:21What is the year?
01:10:48What is the year?
01:10:49What is the year?
01:10:50We need to stay strong.
01:10:56I know.
01:10:57I know.
01:10:59Hey.
01:11:01We'll get through this.
01:11:04Yeah, I hope so.
01:11:07Can you touch your nose?
01:11:11With this hand.
01:11:12Very good.
01:11:36Very good.
01:11:36Steven.
01:11:36What's wrong?
01:11:59Is she okay?
01:11:59Mr. Gailer.
01:12:06You know what?
01:12:07Why don't you call me Tom?
01:12:10After all you've been through, I think you can call me asshole if you want.
01:12:13Yeah.
01:12:17Thanks.
01:12:19Why don't you go home and get some sleep?
01:12:21No.
01:12:22Would you walk for me?
01:12:28Would you walk for me?
01:12:32Get out of the van.
01:12:36No.
01:12:37No.
01:12:37She can do it herself.
01:12:42I need you.
01:12:42I need you to walk for me in a straight line.
01:12:48One foot in front of the other.
01:12:58Okay.
01:12:58Okay.
01:12:59All looks clear.
01:13:04It is.
01:13:05It's perfectly clear.
01:13:06What am I missing?
01:13:20Susanna, would you draw a clock for me?
01:13:23I'm feeling all the numbers from one through twelve.
01:13:27Okay.
01:13:29I'm feeling all the numbers from one through twelve.
01:13:59Dr. Najjar, what do you see?
01:14:21I might be late tonight.
01:14:22All right.
01:14:22No, everything is fine.
01:14:23Yes.
01:14:24Let's go.
01:14:54Dr. Ryan, Suhal.
01:15:13Yes, yes, but I think I have something you might be interested in.
01:15:21Good morning.
01:15:22Hello.
01:15:22Good morning. How are you feeling?
01:15:24I may have some explanation for you.
01:15:29I believe the right hemisphere of her brain is seriously impaired and inflamed.
01:15:34In a broken brain, when one hemisphere is not working, the visual world becomes lopsided.
01:15:41Like this clock.
01:15:43No one, the psychiatric problem, would draw a clock like this.
01:15:47So this should rule out schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
01:15:50Now, what is causing this inflammation?
01:15:56That is the question that we have to answer.
01:16:00My dear, I know you are in there.
01:16:04I'm going to do everything I can to find you.
01:16:06Before we move on to treatment, we need to confirm the cause of the inflammation.
01:16:12I think the best thing to do is to do a brain biopsy.
01:16:15What does that mean?
01:16:16We have to look at her brain.
01:16:18We have to take a small piece of her brain to confirm the diagnosis before we can proceed
01:16:24with the treatment.
01:16:24I don't know.
01:16:25I don't know.
01:16:27Mr. Kean, I promise you, if she were my child, I would do the brain biopsy.
01:16:34Time is of the essence here.
01:16:36I know it sounds invasive, but we are losing her.
01:16:38We are going to shave the front part of your head about four inches in toward the crown.
01:16:49Then we will make an incision and take the sample.
01:16:51I will be here for you in the morning, 7 a.m.
01:16:53Please get some rest tonight and no eating, only fasting.
01:17:07You okay?
01:17:08I just don't want to set our hopes up again.
01:17:10What do you mean?
01:17:11Rona, we've been here for over a month.
01:17:12We've had so many doctors, so many opinions, so many theories, so many ups that have, unfortunately,
01:17:17all have major downs.
01:17:18Who says this guy has all the answers?
01:17:20Okay, okay, look at me.
01:17:22If this guy doesn't have the answers, we will go to the next guy or the next woman until we
01:17:26find the answer.
01:17:28Okay, but what I need from you, right here, right now, is I need to know, are you in?
01:17:33Because I need you, and Susanna needs you.
01:17:38Okay, let's go.
01:17:40I need you.
01:17:41Okay, let's go.
01:17:41Okay, let's go.
01:17:42Let's go.
01:17:43Let's go.
01:17:43All right, let's go.
01:17:44Let's go.
01:18:14Some news.
01:18:16The result came back conclusive for NMDA receptor antibodies.
01:18:20What is it?
01:18:21Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis is an autoimmune disease where antibodies target and attack
01:18:28very important receptors in the brain.
01:18:31I don't understand.
01:18:32Can you simplify what is you saying?
01:18:36To put it simply, her brain is on fire and under attack from her own body.
01:18:42Okay.
01:18:44So, what happens next?
01:18:48We can treat this.
01:18:49We got this on the very early stages.
01:18:52I think she will be fine.
01:18:53She will be getting 90% of her cognitive abilities back.
01:18:58So, we may get her fully back.
01:19:01As I said, Mr. Cannon, it's a serious possibility, but let's just hope that her body welcomes the treatment.
01:19:09You're going to be just fine.
01:19:22I found you.
01:19:24I'm the lucky one.
01:19:29Because in a system that's designed to miss people like me...
01:19:32I will start the treatment.
01:19:35Thanks to Dr. Najjar, I was found.
01:19:38He found me.
01:19:39My body was attacking my brain.
01:19:48You good?
01:19:48Yeah.
01:19:49It completely destroyed my ability to function.
01:19:52How many people do you think throughout history were diagnosed as schizophrenic, psychotic, bipolar, or maybe just plain crazy when they had something that could have been so easily diagnosed?
01:20:07It took me forever to get home.
01:20:11Right, you guys?
01:20:16I love you.
01:20:19So much.
01:20:22Susanna.
01:20:24You can't stay in bed all day.
01:20:26Oh my God.
01:20:27You had to back up the whole time.
01:20:29Let's go.
01:20:30I had to back up the whole time.
01:20:33No.
01:20:34No.
01:20:35We're gone.
01:20:36No.
01:20:37You know what?
01:20:38If we're going to make the New York City Marathon this year, we got a hell of a lot of work to do, kid.
01:20:46Please don't quit your new job.
01:20:48Because you're definitely not a comedian.
01:20:51Well, it's nice to see you got your personality back.
01:20:54Come on, baby.
01:20:54You can do it.
01:20:55I had to learn everything from scratch.
01:20:58How to walk again.
01:20:59How to talk again.
01:21:01Smile.
01:21:03How to be a daughter.
01:21:05To love Steven again.
01:21:06How to write.
01:21:10I had to learn how to exist again.
01:21:13So how the hell are you?
01:21:15I'm good.
01:21:17Yeah.
01:21:17Yeah, you know, I'm on some medication still, but I'm good.
01:21:24I read your first article since your return.
01:21:26Don't.
01:21:27It's not too good.
01:21:28No, no, no.
01:21:29Don't put words in my mouth.
01:21:30It's actually really good.
01:21:32Yeah.
01:21:32Better than ever.
01:21:33So much so that congratulations.
01:21:35Your first page, too.
01:21:36Wow.
01:21:39Yeah.
01:21:40Big deal, right?
01:21:41Yeah.
01:21:43There's something else I want from you.
01:21:44I want you to tell your story from beginning to end.
01:21:52I want the people in New York to know what you went through.
01:21:56I want you to write a first-person feature about it.
01:21:59Kind of hard putting your own personal information out there, but you should really consider it.
01:22:03You know, why not?
01:22:12Yeah?
01:22:14Yeah, I mean, if it helps someone out there, maybe it's worth it.
01:22:20That's great.
01:22:22It'll take a little bit of time to compile it, I think, but...
01:22:24Oh, yeah, I know.
01:22:25Take all the time you need.
01:22:27As long as I can have it by Friday.
01:22:31You'll have it by Thursday night.
01:22:32Don't worry.
01:22:37Thanks, Susanna.
01:22:47Are you okay?
01:22:56Yeah.
01:22:57I'm good.
01:22:58I got used to people asking me about my rare and fascinating illness.
01:23:03I never tried to articulate it, though.
01:23:05Are you sure you're okay?
01:23:09Marco?
01:23:09Yeah.
01:23:10Great.
01:23:11Sorry.
01:23:11Never better.
01:23:12Okay.
01:23:13Good.
01:23:14You'll stop talking to me.
01:23:15This new Susanna is a lot like the old Susanna, but she's so much stronger.
01:23:22Because for the very first time, I feel ready to tackle the mystery of what happened to me.
01:23:28To find an answer.
01:23:31An answer that could possibly save a life.
01:23:34Once you have a friend, I can say, I'm eager to meet you.
01:23:47It's going to invite the mystery of Jacob who's got to the mystery of me.
01:23:49What about intimacy?
01:23:51Just being able to come past him.
01:23:52I'll talk about about friendship in the truth, but when I get to the mystery of you, after I am gone, we've made to be prepared forroscopy.
01:23:54I've had room for you, especially in a picture of him.
01:23:55I'll be eine Pewdiepie.
01:23:56I've never ever had many times before before.
01:23:58I can't remember whyou aproximadamente.
01:23:59I'll be there for a moment.
01:24:00I'll be there for you tomorrow.
01:26:30I don't come and go.
01:26:37I know you're safe in here.
01:26:42Camera don't lie.
01:26:49I know you're safe in here.
01:26:56I've got to remove.
01:27:03It's a bad, tough, lonely time.
01:27:12There's nothing to lose.
01:27:19I know you're safe in here.
01:27:26I know you're safe in here.
01:27:33You take the fall.
01:27:42I know you're safe in here.
01:27:51I know you're safe in here.
01:28:00You're safe in here.
01:28:09You're safe in here.
01:28:10You're safe in here.
01:28:30Come and go
