00:00:00Hello?
00:00:25Hello?
00:00:27Andrew Stone?
00:00:29He's not here.
00:00:31Who'd be calling now?
00:00:33Either way or college.
00:00:36No.
00:00:38Oh, no.
00:00:40No.
00:00:42Oh, God, no.
00:00:43What?
00:00:44Please.
00:00:45Hello?
00:00:47Are you the mother?
00:00:49What are you saying?
00:00:51Scott.
00:00:52Like I told your husband, your son's been injured in a car accident.
00:00:55We've taken him into surgery.
00:00:57Oh, God.
00:00:58Ma'am, are you still with me?
00:01:00Ma'am?
00:01:02You have permission to operate.
00:01:05Is that what you're asking?
00:01:07I don't need the doctor.
00:01:11I just need to get some information.
00:01:13Yeah, I can hold.
00:01:15Alex, be patient, okay?
00:01:16Dad, I can't fly without gum.
00:01:18Alex, please.
00:01:19Is Andrew going to die?
00:01:21No.
00:01:22I told you.
00:01:23He's gonna be fine.
00:01:24Who is this?
00:01:25Yeah.
00:01:26I just want to know his condition.
00:01:27Andrew Stone.
00:01:28Dad, I'm hungry.
00:01:30Oh, come on, Alex.
00:01:31Alex, there's food on the plane.
00:01:32Give us a break, all right?
00:01:34Are you sure?
00:01:39What?
00:01:40What did he say?
00:01:41Well, it's not serious.
00:01:42It's a broken collarbone.
00:01:43Who said?
00:01:44What the nurse?
00:01:45She just looked at his chart.
00:01:47Oh.
00:01:49A collarbone?
00:01:51That's nothing.
00:01:52How can you do that?
00:01:53I broke my collarbone and fall out a tree when I was 12 years old.
00:01:56I was playing baseball the next day.
00:01:57That's nothing.
00:01:58I know.
00:01:59Wait, what happened?
00:02:00I don't understand.
00:02:01Are you sure?
00:02:02Oh, come on, Alex.
00:02:03Good news.
00:02:04Accept it.
00:02:05Come on.
00:02:06Let's go.
00:02:07Come on.
00:02:08Let's go surprise Andrew.
00:02:14Andrew did a hacky sack 465 times once.
00:02:16He said it was a record.
00:02:18Too bad hacky sack's not an Olympic sport.
00:02:20Oh, boy.
00:02:21I'm really hungry, no?
00:02:22Anything?
00:02:23Say hi.
00:02:24There's a kid who came home with Andrew's free vacation.
00:02:25What's his name?
00:02:26Benjamin.
00:02:27I think Andrew calls him Benno.
00:02:28Benno.
00:02:29Benno.
00:02:30Benno, how you doing?
00:02:31Seen Andrew?
00:02:32How is he?
00:02:33Uh, he's hurt real bad.
00:02:34No, that was a mistake.
00:02:35They said it was just a broken collarbone.
00:02:36No.
00:02:37He hurt his head.
00:02:38He's hurt real bad.
00:02:40Then what happened?
00:02:41I'm home with Andrew's free vacation.
00:02:42I'm home with Andrew's free vacation.
00:02:43What's his name?
00:02:44Benjamin.
00:02:45I think Andrew calls him Benno.
00:02:46Benno.
00:02:47Benno, how you doing?
00:02:48Seen Andrew?
00:02:49How is he?
00:02:50Uh, he's hurt real bad.
00:02:52No, that was a mistake.
00:02:53They said it was just a broken collarbone.
00:02:54No.
00:02:55He hurt his head.
00:02:56He's hurt real bad.
00:02:57Then what happened?
00:02:58We were taking a break from finals.
00:02:59We went to this party.
00:03:01I was driving.
00:03:04I see these headlights in the rearview mirror.
00:03:07I turn to Andrew and I go, look at this fool.
00:03:09But I don't get to say it, because he, you know,
00:03:14I don't get to say it.
00:03:15I don't get to say it.
00:03:16I don't get to say it.
00:03:18I don't get to say it.
00:03:19I don't get to say it.
00:03:21I don't get to say it.
00:03:23He hits us.
00:03:26I, I don't even get a bruise.
00:03:30I turn to Andrew.
00:03:32He's just sitting there like he's asleep.
00:03:36He, he, he hurt his head.
00:03:40They said he was alright.
00:03:42Why did they say it was okay?
00:03:44Shh, shh.
00:03:45I, I knew it was a mistake.
00:03:47It's a big hospital.
00:03:48And I'm dead.
00:03:49Mistakes happen.
00:03:50Are you the parents of Andrew Stone?
00:03:53Yes, yes.
00:03:54I'm Dr. Geller.
00:03:55I'm a specialist in neurosurgery.
00:03:58Would you like to see him?
00:04:00Please.
00:04:01Oh, please, yeah.
00:04:02Oh, I'm sorry.
00:04:03No, children.
00:04:04What?
00:04:05I want to see Andrew.
00:04:06Uh, honey.
00:04:07Mom, I want to see Andrew.
00:04:08I want to see Andrew!
00:04:09I want to see Andrew!
00:04:10It's okay, Tara.
00:04:11I'll stay.
00:04:12We'll take turns.
00:04:14Maybe we should wait until I can speak to you and your husband together.
00:04:17No, no.
00:04:18I want to know now, please.
00:04:19I want you to be prepared for the worst.
00:04:24Andrew has suffered severe brain injuries.
00:04:27He's in a coma.
00:04:29It's impossible to say now when or if he will come out of it.
00:04:34Andrew sustained what we call a coup, contra coup injury.
00:04:52The impact drove his head back and then forward.
00:04:56The CT scan showed large subdural bruises in the front and rear portions of his brain.
00:05:02We found massive hemorrhaging and edema.
00:05:06In order to remove the swelling, I removed part of his skull.
00:05:10That's standard procedure in cases of this type.
00:05:15Those tubes allow us to monitor the pressure and drain the fluid that could be caused.
00:05:32Then, hey!
00:05:33Hey!
00:05:34Hey!
00:05:35Hey, Tara!
00:05:39Oh, you see, okay?
00:05:41Yeah.
00:05:42It's gonna be fine.
00:05:43Hey!
00:05:45Hey!
00:05:46Hey!
00:05:47Hey!
00:05:53Hey!
00:05:54Hey!
00:05:55Hey!
00:05:56Hey!
00:05:57Hey!
00:05:58Hey!
00:05:59Hey!
00:06:00Hey!
00:06:01Is he going to be all right, Mom?
00:06:07I know.
00:06:11Why don't they allow no kids?
00:06:13It's unfair.
00:06:15Yeah, it is unfair.
00:06:19Mr. Stone?
00:06:23Mr. Stone?
00:06:24If you have a headache, um, I can get something here.
00:06:32Thanks.
00:06:34So, uh, Mr. Stone Andrews says that you do film?
00:06:39Documentaries, yeah.
00:06:40Wow.
00:06:42Yeah, he's always saying how cool you guys are, you know, not typical and stuff.
00:06:45Yeah, he gave me one of your wife's cookbooks.
00:06:48Except Laura can't cook, and every time it's her turn to do dinner at the house,
00:06:52we have to order out.
00:06:54Man, making films, that's my dream.
00:06:57And I want to be the next Spike Lee or whatever.
00:07:01Well, just a boy and a dream.
00:07:03All right, Jerick.
00:07:04You don't do anything worth doing unless you dream.
00:07:19How are you doing, Benno?
00:07:21Good.
00:07:24Can I have your name, please?
00:07:26Benno.
00:07:27Benno what?
00:07:29Benjamin Lucas.
00:07:30Do you have a valid driver's license?
00:07:31Can I see it?
00:07:32Why?
00:07:32Who are you?
00:07:33I'm an attorney.
00:07:34You were driving drunk last night.
00:07:36You almost killed two people.
00:07:37What are you saying?
00:07:38That's not true.
00:07:38He caused a very serious accident while driving under the influence.
00:07:42It's a miracle that the other driver is still alive.
00:07:44No, that's a lie.
00:07:45Do you deny drinking?
00:07:46Were you drinking, Benno?
00:07:49Like one beer maybe hours before at the party.
00:07:51You're lying.
00:07:52You were drinking and driving.
00:07:53And you will be hearing from my office.
00:07:55Who's the attorney, are you?
00:07:58Were you drinking, Benno?
00:08:00Were you driving?
00:08:01Did you cause this accident?
00:08:02No.
00:08:04See, the guy hit us from behind.
00:08:06He was the one who was drunk.
00:08:08I mean, the cop saw the whole thing.
00:08:09He was right there.
00:08:11Please, sis, don't.
00:08:12You gotta believe me.
00:08:13I was not drunk.
00:08:15The kid say it's like he said.
00:08:17The other guy was drunk.
00:08:18It was totally his fault.
00:08:19There was a cop right there.
00:08:21He saw the accident.
00:08:23He admitted he was drinking.
00:08:24A couple of beers hours before.
00:08:26They gave him a drunk test.
00:08:28If he did this to Andrew, I will never forgive him.
00:08:31Benno swears he's telling the truth, honey.
00:08:33He's Andrew's best friend.
00:08:34He wouldn't do anything to hurt him.
00:08:37You know, the kids are gonna have to leave
00:08:41after visiting hours are over.
00:08:42They're gonna have to find a place to strip.
00:08:44I'm not leaving Andrew.
00:08:47No.
00:08:47I'll do it.
00:08:57How you doing?
00:08:58Okay.
00:08:59What are you still doing here?
00:09:03Why don't you go home?
00:09:04Yeah.
00:09:05A lot of worse than you did when they brought you in last night.
00:09:08What?
00:09:10All right.
00:09:12Hang in there, okay?
00:09:23Doctor, um...
00:09:24The boy you were just talking to,
00:09:26the one who came in last night,
00:09:27was he drinking?
00:09:28I mean, was he drunk?
00:09:30My son was in the accident,
00:09:32and he was very badly hurt.
00:09:33I just have to know what happened.
00:09:34I think he had a beer or two,
00:09:36but he tested zero-zero.
00:09:39Blood alcohol test, zero-zero,
00:09:41I mean, it's completely sober.
00:09:42But it was the other guy that was wasted.
00:09:44The other driver?
00:09:45Is he here?
00:09:46Is he badly hurt?
00:09:47Yeah, no, no.
00:09:48Scratch on him,
00:09:48but we had to admit him for observation.
00:09:51What do you mean you had to?
00:09:52Well, they keep the police
00:09:54from hauling him off to jail.
00:09:56Why?
00:09:59Because he's dead.
00:10:00He's on the board.
00:10:01I saw some of the staff
00:10:02were looking out for him.
00:10:04We weren't happy, but hey,
00:10:06we're one big happy family.
00:10:16Don't bother calling a motel, honey.
00:10:18The kid are taking care of him.
00:10:19They protected him.
00:10:23Protected who?
00:10:24The other driver.
00:10:25You know, his father's a big deal
00:10:26here at the hospital,
00:10:27and they just looked after their own.
00:10:31Laura said she would watch the kids
00:10:32for as long as we need.
00:10:33They'll be fine, Tara.
00:10:35She's made a big hit with Alex.
00:10:36We'll see you tomorrow, Ally.
00:10:37I love you.
00:10:38Thank you, honey.
00:10:40Laura, I can't thank you enough.
00:10:41I want to do something for Andrew,
00:10:43so no problem.
00:10:44Don't worry, we'll take care of him.
00:10:46All right, all right.
00:10:49Um, there's a problem
00:10:51with the insurance,
00:10:52but we gotta take care of him.
00:10:53Do you need me?
00:10:55Well, no, I can do it.
00:10:57I'd like to get back up
00:10:58and see Andrew.
00:11:02Thanks.
00:11:02Okay.
00:11:08Well, he said a policeman
00:11:09saw the accident,
00:11:09so I want to talk to him.
00:11:11There were several officers
00:11:12at the scene.
00:11:13Yeah, but this one
00:11:14was an eyewitness,
00:11:15so that was unusual, right?
00:11:16So, so you probably
00:11:17know who that was.
00:11:19It's a big department, ma'am.
00:11:22Why can't I talk to him?
00:11:24I mean,
00:11:25is there some reason
00:11:26you don't want me
00:11:26to talk to him?
00:11:27We'll check into it, okay?
00:11:29Where can we reach you?
00:11:30Uh...
00:11:31Andrew?
00:11:32Andrew?
00:11:45Andrew?
00:11:47You were in an accident.
00:11:50But you're gonna be fine.
00:11:53You're gonna be just like you were.
00:11:55He can't hear you.
00:11:58How do we know
00:11:58what he can hear?
00:11:59Yeah.
00:12:02Mom and Dad are here.
00:12:06We're here.
00:12:09We love you.
00:12:11We love you so much.
00:12:12We love you.
00:12:13Mrs. Stone,
00:12:23my name's Garza.
00:12:37Hospital told me
00:12:38we're gonna live in here.
00:12:39Is there somewhere
00:12:39we can go and get
00:12:40a cup of coffee?
00:12:40It's about your boy's accident.
00:12:43I'm the cop who saw it.
00:12:45Sorry I didn't get
00:12:46to you folks before.
00:12:47I work full shift.
00:12:48Coach Peewee's soccer
00:12:49in the off towers.
00:12:50We're in the playoffs.
00:12:51So you actually
00:12:52saw the accident?
00:12:53Yeah.
00:12:54Man, how often
00:12:54does that happen?
00:12:55Yeah, I usually
00:12:56see him afterwards.
00:12:57Never actually saw
00:12:57what happened before.
00:12:58Well, we want to know
00:12:59everything that you saw.
00:13:00No problem at all.
00:13:01That's why I'm here.
00:13:02So I'm on patrol.
00:13:03Traffic's real light.
00:13:06I see this guy
00:13:06coming northbound.
00:13:08He's all over the road.
00:13:09Like a bat out of hell.
00:13:15And after him,
00:13:16I am definitely
00:13:17gonna nail that citizen.
00:13:21Just tap.
00:13:23That's all it took.
00:13:24Knocked him right off
00:13:25into a light pole.
00:13:30He was real lucky.
00:13:31I mean,
00:13:33lucky because
00:13:34I was right there
00:13:35and the ambulance
00:13:36was there in no time
00:13:37and the hospital
00:13:37was only two minutes away.
00:13:39Okay, the other driver.
00:13:40What happened to him?
00:13:42Nothing.
00:13:43He was lucky too.
00:13:44He should have been
00:13:45nailed right there and then.
00:13:47Why wasn't he?
00:13:48Well,
00:13:49turns out there was
00:13:50another witness.
00:13:51A friend of his
00:13:52driving behind him.
00:13:54Says that the
00:13:55VW caused the accident.
00:13:58Started screaming
00:13:59about harassment.
00:14:00We didn't get him
00:14:01any medical care.
00:14:03She commanded
00:14:04on taking him
00:14:04to the hospital herself.
00:14:09And your letter?
00:14:10I had no choice.
00:14:11Turns out she was a lawyer.
00:14:12Started invoking
00:14:13the guy's rights
00:14:14and all that good stuff.
00:14:15Anyway,
00:14:16I'm not really
00:14:17supposed to do this,
00:14:18but that's my report.
00:14:21I thought you'd like
00:14:21to read it.
00:14:22I got beliefs
00:14:23about this stuff.
00:14:24What stuff?
00:14:25Drunks
00:14:26using their cars
00:14:26like weapons.
00:14:27This guy ain't
00:14:28going to get away
00:14:28with it.
00:14:29Better get back
00:14:30to work.
00:14:31I hope everything
00:14:31turns out okay
00:14:32for your boy.
00:14:32Oh, it will.
00:14:33Thanks.
00:14:34Thank you very much.
00:14:40Gary Curtis Gordon.
00:14:42That's the guy.
00:14:46Andrew,
00:14:47your mom and dad
00:14:48are here.
00:14:49Your mom and dad
00:14:50are here.
00:14:50We love you, honey.
00:14:51We love you.
00:14:52Alex and Allie are here.
00:14:53They miss you.
00:14:56Jeff.
00:14:57Jeff.
00:15:00My God.
00:15:02Oh, darling.
00:15:06You can see
00:15:06the hematoma,
00:15:08the bruises,
00:15:09here.
00:15:10The swelling
00:15:10is being relieved
00:15:11where the bone flap
00:15:12was cut away.
00:15:13This is a good sign.
00:15:15If it continues,
00:15:16it means that the coma
00:15:17may be ending soon.
00:15:18Thank God.
00:15:20It's only another
00:15:21beginning, I'm afraid.
00:15:22When he leaves here,
00:15:23Andrew is going to
00:15:24have to be put into
00:15:25an extended program
00:15:26of physical and
00:15:27psychological therapy
00:15:28at a rehabilitation
00:15:28clinic.
00:15:30He may have to learn
00:15:31to think and speak
00:15:33all over again.
00:15:35Will, uh, Andrew
00:15:37ever be Andrew again?
00:15:40He may come out
00:15:41of this just fine
00:15:42in time.
00:15:43What you have to
00:15:44realize is that
00:15:45the accident was
00:15:46day one of a
00:15:47whole new calendar.
00:15:48you're going to
00:15:49have to get used
00:15:50to living by it
00:15:51day by day.
00:15:58This is great.
00:16:00This body's fighting
00:16:01its way back
00:16:01to consciousness.
00:16:12Here we go.
00:16:12Andrew.
00:16:16Andrew, Andrew, we're here.
00:16:19Mom and dad are here, son.
00:16:21We love you.
00:16:24He spoke.
00:16:26He said something.
00:16:28Yeah, I think he said
00:16:29thank you.
00:16:29He doesn't even know his name.
00:16:44He doesn't even know his name.
00:16:44He doesn't even know his name.
00:16:57It's okay, folks.
00:16:58He just needs time.
00:17:01He didn't even leave his name.
00:17:03Just time, Terry.
00:17:05He's going to be okay.
00:17:06Well, good evening, ladies

00:17:39You want it to, honey?
00:17:40It's the only way
00:17:41he gets to see his brethren.
00:17:44Hey,
00:17:45I'm taking your drawings
00:17:45to Andrew.
00:17:47I wish I could take you.
00:17:49It's okay, Mom.
00:17:51It's the rules.
00:17:55Love you.
00:17:56Here, Mom.
00:17:57Oof.
00:17:58Tell Andrew
00:17:58I hope he doesn't hate this.
00:18:00Will he understand?
00:18:01Oh, he understands everything.
00:18:02I'll be gone
00:18:03only a couple days, okay?
00:18:04We'll be all right
00:18:04two daggots back?
00:18:05Yeah, sure.
00:18:06I mean,
00:18:07all he does
00:18:08is draw and clean
00:18:09his room anyway.
00:18:11Okay.
00:18:11Bye.
00:18:12Bye.
00:18:14I wish we could find
00:18:15a rehab closer to home.
00:18:17We don't get afford
00:18:17to see him together
00:18:18for a change.
00:18:19Next time,
00:18:19it's your turn.
00:18:20Actually,
00:18:21this is my turn.
00:18:23Well, I'm only going
00:18:24because of the court here.
00:18:25You said you didn't want to go.
00:18:26It's just some
00:18:26preliminary thing, dear.
00:18:27You've got to show up
00:18:28for everything.
00:18:29They can't think
00:18:29this is just another case.
00:18:30This is just another case.
00:18:30Let's go.
00:19:00Come on.
00:19:19Since you can go outside, they suggested I get you a protective handpiece.
00:19:23I didn't want to find one.
00:19:25I only suggested I go to a skating rink.
00:19:27I'm just afraid you're going to hate this.
00:19:30It's a hockey helmet.
00:19:32It goes with everything.
00:19:34You wear it whenever you go outside.
00:19:37You have to let go outside.
00:19:38Oh, yeah.
00:19:39I think it looks better.
00:19:41I'm so proud.
00:19:42I'm so proud of you.
00:19:43I did not find one.
00:19:44I did not find one.
00:19:45I was so proud of you.
00:19:46I did not find one.
00:19:47I was so proud of you.
00:19:48You are the one that I was just supposed to have.
00:19:49The same.
00:19:50I was so proud of you.
00:19:51Let's go out.
00:20:21I'm going to go back.
00:20:32Are you tired easily?
00:20:36No.
00:20:38No.
00:20:42Back to college.
00:20:45Back to Brandeis.
00:20:51What's that?
00:20:56Peanut butter gumball.
00:20:57That doesn't...
00:20:59That sounds...
00:21:02Unsuccessful.
00:21:10Strawberry.
00:21:12Unsuccessful is the perfect way to describe peanut butter gumball.
00:21:15No, it's not. It's not the right word.
00:21:20It's important to try to put the right word with the right thing.
00:21:28Cool helmet.
00:21:36Thanks.
00:21:37Andrew works very hard in his word finding.
00:21:42Sometimes he gets a little frustrated, but he's young.
00:21:46He's got a great spirit, a wonderful, positive attitude.
00:21:49We're very pleased with how he's coming along.
00:21:52He says he wants to go back to Brandeis.
00:21:55He had a math scholarship there.
00:21:58He's always excelled at everything that he's done.
00:22:00You know, it's kind of a family joke.
00:22:01Andrew does everything right.
00:22:05Do you think he has a chance?
00:22:07It's common in brain-injured patients,
00:22:09the need to go back to the time before the injury
00:22:13to reclaim their past identity.
00:22:14Mrs. Stone, we just don't know yet
00:22:17how great his deficit might be.
00:22:19His deficit.
00:22:23Today we finally see him, you know.
00:22:26Who?
00:22:27Gary Curtis Gordon.
00:22:29Come over here.
00:22:34Mr. Davids.
00:22:36Hi, we met on the phone.
00:22:37I'm Terry.
00:22:38This is my son, Andrew.
00:22:39We're here for the hearing.
00:22:40Yeah, Terry Stone.
00:22:42What are you doing here?
00:22:42I told you, this is just a motion
00:22:44for a preliminary hearing continuance.
00:22:47All rise.
00:22:49This court is now in session.
00:22:51The Honorable Judge Gibson deciding.
00:22:58Call the first case.
00:23:00Commonwealth of Massachusetts
00:23:01versus Gary Curtis Gordon.
00:23:03Warren B. Shipley for the defendant
00:23:05who is not present today.
00:23:06At this point, we would like to request a delay.
00:23:09People have no objection, Your Honor.
00:23:10So ordered.
00:23:11The clerk will set a new date
00:23:13for a preliminary hearing.
00:23:15Let's hear the next case.
00:23:18I flew all the way from Ann Arbor for this.
00:23:20A delay.
00:23:21I told you.
00:23:22No, you didn't.
00:23:23I left a message on your phone.
00:23:24Maybe you didn't get it.
00:23:26So, what's going to happen?
00:23:27Looks good.
00:23:28Got a policeman as an eyewitness.
00:23:29Yeah, but what kind of punishment?
00:23:3190 days to a year in jail, maybe.
00:23:33No priors.
00:23:34Fine.
00:23:35Probation.
00:23:36Probation?
00:23:37I'm sorry.
00:23:38I've got another case.
00:23:39Don't come until we tell you, okay?
00:23:40These things can take a long time.
00:23:41Well, meanwhile, what about Gary Curtis Gordon?
00:23:43Does he just go have this grand, normal life?
00:23:45I've really got to go.
00:23:46My office will be in touch.
00:23:50Well, to them, it's just another case.
00:23:52You know, it's just another thing to get through.
00:23:53They're not going to do anything.
00:23:55He's going to get away scot-free.
00:23:57Give it a chance, Tara.
00:23:58It's just getting started.
00:24:00He's going to walk.
00:24:01You know, probation.
00:24:02A slap on the wrist.
00:24:04You know, if we want any justice, we're going to have to do it ourselves.
00:24:06You know, we're going to have to sue.
00:24:07I don't want his money.
00:24:09Well, it's not about money.
00:24:10It's, God knows we're going to need it.
00:24:12We don't sue people, Tara.
00:24:15The bills will get paid.
00:24:16We've always managed somehow.
00:24:18Done pretty well taking it as it comes.
00:24:24He says he wants to go back to Brandeis.
00:24:26You know, he's afraid of falling behind.
00:24:27Can we talk about this?
00:24:37Alex wants to know how Andrew likes his pictures.
00:24:48What are you standing there for?
00:24:54Do something.
00:24:55Don't worry.
00:24:55It's just another migraine.
00:24:56A migraine?
00:24:57Look at him.
00:24:57He's already medicated.
00:24:59Look, he'll pass through it.
00:25:00It's fine.
00:25:00Just get through it, buddy.
00:25:01You'll be okay.
00:25:02It's going to happen every now and then.
00:25:04It's not dangerous.
00:25:04Mom!
00:25:22Why was I...
00:25:26I'm selected for this?
00:25:31I won't select me.
00:25:34I won't select me.
00:25:38I won't select me.
00:25:38I won't select...
00:26:12He just goes on with his life.
00:26:29He's living in this beautiful house, protected by his family.
00:26:33It's as if nothing happened.
00:26:35You shouldn't have gone to his house, dear.
00:26:38What if he'd seen you?
00:26:40I don't think he sees anything.
00:26:42He doesn't care.
00:26:49He never came to visit Andrew in the hospital.
00:26:51He never called.
00:26:53He's never shown a moment of concern.
00:26:59You know, not even a cheap get-well card.
00:27:02He doesn't care.
00:27:04You're the superstar.
00:27:21You go in.
00:27:22You go in.
00:27:22There we go.
00:27:23A little goodbye.
00:27:24It's my long time.
00:27:25Bring it on.
00:27:26Oh, wait, wait, wait.
00:27:27It wasn't ready.
00:27:28It wasn't ready.
00:27:29It wasn't ready.
00:27:30Do it again.
00:27:31Do it again.
00:27:34Oh, they scorched the street, folks.
00:27:38All right, let's do it again with some tongue.
00:27:40A little tongue.
00:27:43Oh, oh.
00:27:44Are you okay?
00:27:45What are you, stupid?
00:27:47You're an idiot.
00:27:48You don't touch his head.
00:27:49No, no, no.
00:27:50Come on, come on.
00:27:51What's your show?
00:27:52Are you all right?
00:27:53Yeah.
00:27:54Yeah.
00:27:55I don't know.
00:27:56I'm sorry, man.
00:27:57I'm an idiot.
00:27:58It's okay.
00:28:00It's just...
00:28:01There's still a...
00:28:02a whole hunk of...
00:28:03a hunk of missing skull under there, so...
00:28:10Gosh, guys, thank you so much for...
00:28:14for coming to say goodbye.
00:28:16No problem, man.
00:28:17No, it's so cool.
00:28:18It's so cool.
00:28:20Well, I guess, uh...
00:28:21I guess I'll see you next semester, then.
00:28:23They're taking you back?
00:28:25That's...
00:28:26that's great, man.
00:28:27Yeah.
00:28:28Yeah, we'll save your room for you.
00:28:29Totally, totally.
00:28:30Yeah.
00:28:32You have a wonderful family.
00:28:33I mean, just wonderful support.
00:28:35And I know that you're gonna meet every challenge that comes your way.
00:28:38Um...
00:28:39Did you...
00:28:41write...
00:28:42my...
00:28:43recommendation?
00:28:44Andrew, it's premature.
00:28:45No, I told you.
00:28:46The deadline's...
00:28:47next week.
00:28:48It's premature for you to think about going back to college.
00:28:50Hey, why don't you give your room a check?
00:28:52Your parents and I have some, uh...
00:28:53paperwork to finish up.
00:28:54Okay.
00:28:55Please.
00:28:56You both have to accept him as a new Andrew.
00:28:59Not capable of the things the old Andrew was.
00:29:01Now, there are many fine schools which can address his special needs.
00:29:03Well, wait a minute.
00:29:04What are you saying?
00:29:05He shouldn't even hope?
00:29:06Well, sometimes hope can be just another word for denial.
00:29:07Wait a second.
00:29:08I gotta get this on tape.
00:29:09One last farewell to rehab hell.
00:29:10Mom?
00:29:11Hmm?
00:29:12Dad?
00:29:13I wanna...
00:29:14I wanna...
00:29:15I wanna ask you...
00:29:16I wanna ask you guys something, and I want you to say yes.
00:29:17Yes?
00:29:18What?
00:29:32Okay.
00:29:33I want to...
00:29:35I wanna ask you...
00:29:37I wanna ask you guys something, and I want you to say yes.
00:29:41Yes.
00:29:42Why?
00:29:43I want to take the train home.
00:29:46Hey, I love trains, too, but we have the car.
00:29:48What do we do, just leave it here?
00:29:49By myself.
00:29:51I want to take the train home by myself.
00:29:54Andrew, I don't...
00:29:55Dad...
00:29:56It's a long trip.
00:29:57I've always used to take the train home.
00:30:00I think it's too soon, honey.
00:30:02Don't you remember when...
00:30:04When Allie used to take the train to school when...
00:30:07When she was only 12?
00:30:10Yeah.
00:30:10Don't you think the new Andrew is as...
00:30:13As capable as a 12-year-old?
00:30:17The new Andrew?
00:30:19Oh, God, you heard that guy.
00:30:21Oh, I could kill that bastard.
00:30:22Andrew, the guy was a jerk.
00:30:24You don't have to prove anything to him or anyone.
00:30:26Yes, I do.
00:30:29The Americans have a, um...
00:30:32A dual attitude...
00:30:34A conflicting attitude towards food,
00:30:37We're torn between our desire to diet and to dine well.
00:30:45You know, one of us should have gone with him.
00:30:49He wanted to do it alone, Terry.
00:30:52He's not gonna let this thing beat him.
00:30:54We gotta support that.
00:30:56Keep going.
00:30:58It's a good beginning.
00:30:58I don't really feel like writing a cookbook.
00:31:06Advantages of having a head injury.
00:31:13Made Laura kiss me.
00:31:15Never had so many people notice me.
00:31:17A general aid injury.
00:31:34Oh, God!
00:31:39Oh, God!
00:31:41Oh, God!
00:31:46Why did you just hit me?
00:32:00I didn't hit you.
00:32:02Why did you just hit my helmet?
00:32:07I felt like it.
00:32:10I'm starting to feel like doing it again.
00:32:13Why do you think that I'm wearing this?
00:32:16I don't know.
00:32:18Do you want to look like some dork retard?
00:32:22I'm wearing it because...
00:32:24Because right here, right where you hit me,
00:32:28is the cerebrum,
00:32:31and that is the center of thinking in the brain.
00:32:34The skull above that has been surgically missing.
00:32:37Removed.
00:32:46What do you want to say?
00:32:55I can't.
00:32:57You want to drive?
00:33:00This guy's an idiot.
00:33:03I want you to change lanes.
00:33:04You're in a fast lane.
00:33:05He's driving like a maniac.
00:33:06Well, maybe he is a maniac.
00:33:07Let him pass.
00:33:08Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
00:33:09Let him pass.
00:33:11Just let him pass.
00:33:17What are you doing?
00:33:19Look at his lanes.
00:33:19What are you doing?
00:33:20Take it easy.
00:33:21Then I can't.
00:33:22Hey, pull over, Terry.
00:33:23Let me drive.
00:33:25Pull over, dammit.
00:33:26Terry, do me a favor.
00:33:36Chill a little.
00:33:36You're way overreacting.
00:33:37At least I'm reacting.
00:33:39Wait a sec.
00:33:40What do you mean by that?
00:33:41That guy almost hit us.
00:33:42Does that bother you just a little bit?
00:33:43What were they supposed to do?
00:33:44Go on a road rage?
00:33:45It was no big deal.
00:33:46These things happen all the time.
00:33:47Oh, well, let's just let them.
00:33:49Look, we've got to keep a little balance here.
00:33:51A horrible thing happened to us.
00:33:52We can't let it take over every part of our lives.
00:33:54We've just got to get through it.
00:33:56No, we just take it.
00:33:57Is that what you think I do?
00:34:00Look, we don't deal with things the same way.
00:34:04No, I think you deal with things by letting me deal with them.
00:34:06Like the hospital and the lawyers and the bills.
00:34:08You're good at the practical stuff and I'm not, including making money.
00:34:11I admit it, I'm sorry.
00:34:12Oh, don't.
00:34:12You always do that.
00:34:13What?
00:34:14Admit the truth?
00:34:15No, you admit it and then, well, you think you've faced it.
00:34:22I didn't mean to say that.
00:34:24I'm sorry.
00:34:26You better get on the road.
00:34:43Have I given you a headache?
00:34:44You know, I bet if we step on it, don't stop, it'd be the train.
00:34:56Imagine Andrew's face when you meet him at the station.
00:34:58Can I get one of these muffins?
00:35:24Sure, and that's no problem.
00:35:25It'll be a dollar.
00:35:32Yeah.
00:35:36Yeah.
00:35:38Could you give one to that guy back there in the ranch?
00:35:43How are we doing over here?
00:35:54Can I get something for you?
00:35:55Can I get something for you?
00:35:56Can I get something for you?
00:35:56Are we doing over here?
00:35:57Can I get something for you?
00:36:10How's your, um, basketball?
00:36:37Oh, good.
00:36:39It's good.
00:36:39Are you, are you, uh, gonna...
00:36:41Hey, I can't believe Dad's not filming this.
00:36:43Like, the only second of our lives not on videotape.
00:36:46Andrew.
00:36:52Good job.
00:36:55I found her in an alleyway.
00:37:01Just driving on the street, there she was.
00:37:03She blew me away.
00:37:04Little Joe's got this dream that somebody's gonna just come along
00:37:06and make her a big star.
00:37:07Well, does she ever make it?
00:37:13Well, I'm still working on the ending.
00:37:15By the way, I think she's a good assistant.
00:37:17It pays.
00:37:19Or it would if that ever gets funded.
00:37:21That's very funny.
00:37:22Come get it.
00:37:23Okay.
00:37:26Just in time for some paella.
00:37:27You know, I'm working on a seafood chapter, Andrew.
00:37:30Oh.
00:37:30I hope you like it, because you're gonna have me a lot of it.
00:37:32I'll get it right.
00:37:34Mmm.
00:37:37Mmm.
00:37:38It's so great to have everybody in one place.
00:37:41I feel them bouncing back and forth like a ping pong ball.
00:37:44Like a bungee jumper.
00:37:45A bungee jumper?
00:37:46That's better than ping pong.
00:37:47Bungee jumper?
00:37:48That's a good one.
00:37:49Nice to call it, Andrew.
00:37:50I'll get shrimp out of the aisle.
00:37:56Alex.
00:37:57Come on.
00:37:59Move.
00:37:59I gotta, I gotta, um...
00:38:02Put you to bed.
00:38:02When did you start keeping your room so neat?
00:38:11I used to keep yours neat.
00:38:12Yeah, well, not when I was...
00:38:16Twelve?
00:38:19No, not when I was twelve.
00:38:25Alex, come on.
00:38:26You gotta, you gotta move.
00:38:27You know that I always kick your, your...
00:38:30butt anyway.
00:38:32Checkmate.
00:38:36Alex rules.
00:38:37A new era begins.
00:38:38Now his butt is kicked.
00:38:45I mean...
00:38:46You're still the best in stuff.
00:38:52I shouldn't have won.
00:38:54No, no, no, no.
00:38:56Come here, buddy, buddy.
00:38:57Come here.
00:39:00I have to brush my teeth.
00:39:02Come here.
00:39:28Keep working, you'll get it.
00:39:38I know.
00:39:41Mom, come on, gosh.
00:39:44Can you just stop trying to help me?
00:39:47The whole family is just treating me like I'm somebody to help.
00:39:58I'm so glad to have you home, but we can all stay put for a while now, until the trial
00:40:06starts.
00:40:09What are they going to do to, um...
00:40:11To Gordon?
00:40:13Um, probably nothing.
00:40:16Worst, a slap on the wrist, I guess.
00:40:18That's probably why we'll have to sue.
00:40:21I don't want to sue anybody.
00:40:23I know, neither does your dad.
00:40:24And you've got to face reality, you know?
00:40:27If the courts don't make him pay, then we're going to have to.
00:40:32It was just an...
00:40:33Accident.
00:40:36Uh, no.
00:40:37No, it wasn't.
00:40:38No, he was drunk and stupid, and he got in his car.
00:40:41Like he deliberately set out to destroy you.
00:40:45Am I...
00:40:47Destroyed?
00:40:49Mom.
00:40:50I didn't mean that.
00:40:52Whatever they do to him, it just...
00:40:55It's not going to change anything.
00:40:58It's...
00:40:58It doesn't matter.
00:41:02You never hurt anybody.
00:41:05You've...
00:41:05You've never done anything wrong.
00:41:07You've always been kind and caring.
00:41:10And now, in a dot of time,
00:41:12someone who's none of these things
00:41:13just takes everything away.
00:41:15You know, we can't let someone come in and hurt us like that
00:41:17and then go on as if...
00:41:18It doesn't matter.
00:41:19It doesn't matter.
00:41:32It matters.
00:41:37It's got to be a reckoning.
00:41:41It matters.
00:41:42Check them out.
00:41:48What are they looking at?
00:41:50We're twins.
00:41:52Mom makes me aware of this.
00:41:53I feel like a dork.
00:41:55Tell me about it.
00:41:57Uh, do you want to...
00:41:59You want to get your movie?
00:42:03I don't go to movies anymore.
00:42:06TV, junk like that.
00:42:07It's all a waste of time.
00:42:08Oh, right.
00:42:11Because you're, uh...
00:42:12Your brain cells, right?
00:42:14Come here.
00:42:23Alex.
00:42:28I got a brain injury.
00:42:30Let's...
00:42:31Let's face it.
00:42:32Buddy, if you can talk to me.
00:42:40You can...
00:42:41You can ask me questions.
00:42:46Did...
00:42:47Did they really, like,
00:42:50saw a factor skull?
00:42:56Yeah.
00:42:57I got a...
00:42:58I got a...
00:42:59But...
00:43:00But...
00:43:01But...
00:43:02Mom says they're putting it back.
00:43:05So where is it?
00:43:08That's a...
00:43:09It's a...
00:43:11It's a...
00:43:11It's a...
00:43:12It's a...
00:43:13A...
00:43:14A deep freeze.
00:43:15Like a...
00:43:16Frozen...
00:43:18Pizza.
00:43:21Mmmmm.
00:43:22Mmmmm.

00:44:19Um...
00:44:30Brandeis wants me to...
00:44:33To schedule an interview for readmission.
00:44:38Oh, that's wonderful.
00:44:40Oh, they, um...
00:44:42They want to see my records.
00:44:44You already have your records?
00:44:45No.
00:44:46They, uh...
00:44:47Want to see my...
00:44:48My...
00:44:49My medical...
00:44:50Records.
00:44:52And to determine the...
00:44:53The degree of...
00:44:54Disability.
00:44:56Oh.
00:45:00What are you gonna do?
00:45:02Just to...
00:45:03To call for...
00:45:04For an appointment.
00:45:05Oh, well, sh...
00:45:06Shouldn't you wait a little?
00:45:07I mean...
00:45:08Do you need to think about it?
00:45:09Wait.
00:45:10I'm already here behind.
00:45:11I...
00:45:12I can't...
00:45:13I can't...
00:45:14Miss another semester.
00:45:15I know.
00:45:16But you may only have one chance.

01:14:06mrs snow wanted to be present for the deposition
01:14:09i'm sure she did
01:14:11why is she here she has a right to be here gary
01:14:17and i don't have any rights
01:14:19okay all right and what we have here this morning is a deposition explaining gary's assets
01:14:27andrew's fine headaches are almost gone and he's back in college not quite the honor student he used
01:14:32to be student loan doesn't quite go as far as a scholarship that he had before the accident but
01:14:37thank you for asking i uh have prepared a statement of his holdings as you know he had
01:14:44minimum liabilities and he has no assets of his own i saw where he lives he has assets
01:14:49gary still lives with his parents but since he's over 21 they are not responsible oh that is obvious
01:14:57scott gary has not even been on parole for a month yet having served less than half of his sentence
01:15:04and he is already drawn back into this endless lawsuit that you delayed by every means possible
01:15:10it was very difficult for gary in prison you can't talk to me i would rather speak to your attorney
01:15:16thank you
01:15:17sending gary to a maximum security prison was not appropriate and i feel that he may be scarred for
01:15:27life oh is he the victim now okay i mean do you want to talk about scarred for life excuse me
