02:54well don't force yourself to go if you don't want to
02:58sounds like you don't want me to go
02:59it's just that it's
03:00it's gonna be intense it's gonna be emotional
03:03really i thought going home to visit the parents who abused and abandoned him would be a fun family reunion
03:08why are you getting defensive
03:09why do you have to be controlling
03:11how am i controlling i'm just asking
03:12i'm ready to go
03:13we have to be at the airport 90 minutes prior to our flight
03:19can you believe the size of this guy
03:29exactly why i don't watch football
03:31size is more important than talent or skill
03:33i'm gonna guess you never played
03:35half the players are morbidly obese
03:39yet they can still run four nine forties and have 36 inch verticals
03:43it doesn't matter what kind of body you're born with
03:45no one makes it to the top unless they're incredibly talented and they work their ass off
03:49it's just stupid
03:51jocks get paid millions and get treated like royalty or as people who do jobs that actually matter
03:56teachers cops doctors
03:59you can barely pair student loans
04:01someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed
04:03i'm gonna guess someone else's
04:05i'm not doing that anymore
04:08just like that
04:11just like that
04:12this is bad
04:20burst and facet fractures t3 and 4
04:23retropulsion of bony fragments in the spinal canal
04:26but look here
04:27there's no transection or bruising in a spinal cord
04:30we're in boarding group a right
04:34boarding group a
04:36no emergency exit row
04:38right side of the plane
04:40have you spoken to carly
04:44not since last night
04:46well don't you think you should call her
04:48let her know where you're going and why
04:50she won't worry
04:56she knows i don't like my dad so i won't be sad when he dies
04:59sean
05:00call her and let her know that you're
05:04you're gonna miss her
05:05she must know i'll miss her
05:07tell her anyway
05:09you know it must be good advice if he and i actually agree
05:12if we can stabilize the fractures and decompress the cord we should be able to reverse the
05:24paralysis
05:24fantastic we should start a preoperative release old regimen
05:27no
05:28there's an experimental hypothermia treatment shown to reduce cord edema and cell death when done prior to surgery
05:35it's also shown a high rate of bradycardia and arrhythmias which is the last thing i want to deal with during surgery
05:43there's an infusion protocol we can follow to reduce that risk the faster we reduce the inflammation
05:47thank you i appreciate your input but it's our surgeon
05:50she's right
05:51and what makes you think you're doing the surgery
05:54dr melendez i appreciate all you've done but now that he's stable my staff will take over
05:59well actually that's not your call
06:01or mine
06:02you are a pro athlete
06:05with a pro athlete's body
06:08and you need a surgeon who understands that this is not just about making sure you can walk again
06:14it's about making sure you can run
06:16block
06:18so you can get back out on that field
06:20and play at the top of your game
06:21this is what i do
06:23sure you do knees you do shoulders
06:26have you ever done anything like this before
06:28robert stokes last year
06:30donny london a few years before that
06:32both players had similar spinal fractures
06:34actually not that similar
06:37this is more like what i see in high speed motorcycle accidents
06:41unfortunately i've seen a lot of those
06:43not one or two every few years but 20 to 30
06:46every year
06:47that's what i do
06:49this is gonna be awesome
06:59have you got something to say
07:11i get you want to deal with stuff on your own
07:14for people to mind their own business
07:16but whatever pressure you've been feeling is still here
07:19if you don't seek help
07:20or rely on other people

19:48my family used to do

20:05sean i don't think you're done
20:11with your dad
20:11you can't help him medically
20:15but you can't talk to him
20:16yes you have every right
20:18to be angry
20:19but i'm not so sure
20:20that's all you feel
20:21i think we should go home
20:23to the motel
20:24get some sleep
20:25wake up in the morning
20:26go to the hilltop
20:27get some pancakes
20:28and then see what happens
20:30sounds like a very wise plan
20:34good
20:35on the other hand
20:36there is that lake
20:38oh my god
20:39do you ever stop
20:40no
20:41i'm going with leah
20:42yes
20:43the lake is probably half frozen
20:45i'm going with leah
20:47let's do this shawnee
20:49your heart is stabilized
20:59and surgery will likely be
21:01in a few hours
21:01you're going to walk out of here
21:06and probably even play again
21:07you want to know why i chose you guys
21:11because i thought you didn't care
21:16if i played or not
21:17i hate football
21:22i always have
21:24you've dedicated your entire life
21:29to being the best at it
21:30i was 6'1
21:32250 pounds in the 8th grade
21:34when i got to high school
21:37the coach didn't ask me to play
21:38he told me
21:39from the first practice
21:41it was
21:42it's not who i am
21:45i wanted to quit but
21:49college coaches started calling my mom
21:55she insisted it was god's plan
21:58why else would i be born this way
22:01but you're not a kid anymore
22:05you must have plenty of money
22:06everybody depend on me
22:09my mother
22:09my brother
22:11my cousins
22:13my friends
22:16they date me
22:19so i prayed to get hurt
22:24but no matter how out of control
22:25i played
22:26i thought i'd go to the weight room
22:32and blow out a knee
22:33and then this happens
22:34he wants closure
22:46there's no such thing
22:49some relationships are just not meant to be
22:52which is why people should focus on nurturing the ones they have
22:56instead of trying to salvage the ones they've lost
22:59talking's done
23:03time for action
23:05okay
23:06what's wrong
23:15the majority of drownings
23:18are caused by swimming after drinking alcohol
23:20it's not gonna be a problem
23:21because we're not gonna swim
23:23it's way too cold for that
23:24we're just gonna
23:25run in until it's deep enough
23:27to dunk our heads and then run back out
23:29no
23:30oh come on
23:32it'll feel amazing
23:33like you've just had an awesome massage
23:36i don't like massages
23:37it's not at all like a massage
23:38it's not even close to that
23:40i don't like the mud
23:41it gets between my toes
23:44you won't even feel it
23:45your toes will be numb
23:46as soon as they hit the water
23:48but that feeling when you get out
23:50that warm, tingly sensation
23:52it's the best high
23:54there is
23:55that can't be true
23:58okay
23:59guess i'll just have to go solo then
24:03you're not supposed to swim alone
24:05i'm not alone
24:06you're here
24:07and you're gonna regret it
24:09if you don't come with me
24:11see yourself
24:16leah
24:32leah
24:38leah
24:41damn it
24:54if all i could hold my breath longer than 15 seconds
24:57that is not a good joke
25:02i knew you would forgive me
25:19john's not an angry person
25:22right
25:23he can be
25:24insecure maybe
25:26stubborn sometimes
25:27but he's not an angry person
25:29and if that's the last conversation
25:31he has with his dad
25:32then
25:33then
25:33all i've succeeded in doing
25:35is ripping open an old scab
25:36and this whole trip
25:37was a mistake
25:38his dad
25:41was a disaster
25:42and his mom did nothing
25:44to protect him
25:45so
25:45i just don't think
25:47you need to be so worried
25:49about getting him
25:50to forgive
25:50you're gonna become
26:02a parent
26:03someday
26:05maybe
26:06right
26:06well if you do
26:10you're gonna be responsible
26:12for another human being
26:15and your
26:17first job
26:19number one
26:20is to keep him alive
26:23you're gonna make mistakes
26:39but you hope
26:41that one mistake
26:42doesn't scar you for life
26:43i'm
26:47i'm sorry
26:48sean's dad

33:43or let you hug me.
33:48I couldn't make you happy.
33:59You're my son.
34:07You're shot.
34:09You're my son.
34:17I forgive you.
34:18And I don't want to punish you anymore.
34:34I don't want to punish you.
34:42You're not like other people.
34:44You're so smart.
35:00When weak, you're like a spoiled little baby.
35:08He's delirious from the morphine.
35:12You understand?
35:13He doesn't know what he's saying.
35:14You're damn right Stevie's death wasn't my fault.
35:17It was yours.
35:19He was always trying to impress you.
35:22You and that damn rabbit.
35:24Sure, let's go.
35:25Oh yeah, go ahead.
35:27Get out of here.
35:28Run away again.
35:29Come on.
35:30Go ahead.
35:31Run away again.
35:32Now what?
35:33You need to tell them.
35:46If they care about you, they will understand.
35:51No one will blame you for retiring after breaking your back,
35:56nearly paralyzing yourself.
36:01My mom worked minimum wage jobs her whole life.
36:04Raised the entire family on her own.
36:06And you think I should tell her I want to quit the NFL because I don't like it?
36:10Because it's not fun for me?
36:16You think I don't understand what it's like to need to please your mother?
36:22No matter how hard you work, you still owe something more.
36:30And every good thing that has ever happened to you is pure luck.
36:37But every bad decision you make, that's the real you.
36:49And you deserve to suffer.
36:50And you deserve to suffer.
36:54Your mom called.
36:55Your mom called.
37:23Your dad passed 30 minutes ago.
37:38You want to stay for the funeral?
37:43No.
37:47I want to go home.
37:51Okay.
38:01You want me to stay for a while?
38:04Talk?
38:07No.
38:12Well, we don't have to talk.
38:13We can just sit or go for a walk.
38:22I'm tired.
38:32I should go to sleep.
38:39Okay.
38:42I'm tired.
38:52I'm tired.
38:54I'm tired.
39:04I'm tired.
39:06I'm tired.
39:19Hey, it's Claire.
39:26Yeah, I know.
39:27I got a new phone with a different number.
39:32I changed my mind.
39:36I think we should meet up tonight.
39:42Mom.
39:43Yes, baby.
39:44I'm here.
39:45There's something I need to tell you.
39:55I'm sorry for making you meet me after hours like this.
40:08I just, I really needed someone to talk to.
40:23Of course, Claire.
40:24I'm always available for my patients.
40:25Come on in.
40:26Thanks.
