true story, Bronx 1969,

B

Bridge Hospital: Good morning, hospital, how can I help you? Excuse me, hospital, one moment please, thank you. B Bridge Hospital: Yes, how can I help you? Dr. CFM, Dr. Teo, I 'm in a board meeting. Would you like to leave a message or would you prefer to call back later? Yes. Ah, I

'm Dr. Malcolm Seyer. I have an appointment. Would you like to sit down, please? B Bridge Hospital: How can I help you? Thank you. B Bridge Hospital: How can I help you? I can call the cafeteria then. Ask him. Okay, thank you. How can I help you? Dr. Frankley is in a board meeting. Would you like to leave a message

then? Call back in 45 minutes. Thank you. Uh, when you say people, are you referring to living people? Uh-huh. Well, I'm here to apply for a position in your Neurological Research Laboratory. Neurological research, we have an X-ray room. This hospital is for chronically ill patients. Doctor: The position is for a neurologist. Would you work

caring for patients? A doctor? Doctor Mic: Tell me about the Carmel Institute. Did you care for any patients with earthworms? As it was a large project, trying to extract them... A decigram of myelin from 4 tons of earthworms is really... I worked on this project for 5 years, I was the only one who believed in it, everyone said it was

n't possible and it isn't, now I know, I proved it, maybe before in St. Thomas, always

researching your talents, researching here won't work, excuse me, someone with more clinical experience in the area, there are other more suitable candidates, thank you, being in medical school, you can't have graduated in medicine without some clinical experience, taken the pulse, the temperature, made diagnoses, Ah yes, there you go, you want the place, don't you?

You have to stop this, otherwise, doctor, you spent a lot of time in a chronically ill hospital, uh, would you remember, uh, I don't think so. Hi miss, you know Doctor, we have Tur syndrome, Paron disease and some that we don't even know the name of [Music] yet, these people are waiting for nothing,

so how are they going to recover, they're chronically ill, we call this place the Garden because all we do is give them food and water, thank you, Mr. King, I wanted to know, I was born in 1911 in Kings Bridge, New York, I came here In July 1955, before July 1955, I lived in the

Brooklyn Psychiatric Center in Brooklyn, New York. Before that, I was a person. [Music]

[Applause] D phone Dr phone DBO walking gets easier yes You don't think it gets easier but it does

[Music]

her name is Lucy Fishman, she was found by neighbors along with her sister several days after her sister had She died, she had no relatives, and they say she was always like this, as she is now, without reaction or understanding. So look, a reflex. If she threw the ball away, I would say it's a reflex, but she does

n't do that. You can see she catches it; it's still a reflex. Excuse me, if I were right, I would agree. It's as if having lost all willpower to act, she borrows that will, and the ball, the will of the ball. Excuse me, I

was trying to make a good impression, wasn't I? That's not it, she's still settling in. Miss Costelo, please have all the patients waiting for Dr. Seyer transferred until tomorrow. Yes sir, the borrowed will of the ball. That's great, all right, thank you. And let us know if she takes anything else. Doctor, I'm

here. They're going to say goodbye. It doesn't matter, I'm going back to college. Did I forget something? It's not that I want you to know that I would prefer your explanation and that I will take care of things for you until you are settled in. Until tomorrow, Doctor, thank you very much. [Music]

As long as you're enjoying it, good. Hello, hi, I'm Dr. Seyer. I'm the air. How are you doing? Very well. [Music] Thank you. Okay, I have... Which It's the form then, oh okay, wait

three. Yes, three, thank you, thank you,

bye. Hello.

Yay, we did it! It's fantastic! No, no, good, we can try to do better. Let's celebrate with these delicious savory biscuits. They really taste delicious. It's true, they're out of this world. Oh, they're out of this world. Well, folks, it's time to refuel with these delicious savory biscuits. Oh, there's nothing better than

these biscuits. [

Music] Luci, you

came, this letter here, come up here, anonymous, please help me move the table. [Music] [Music]

concenza [ Music]

Luci, you're almost there, come on, Luci,

Luci, the water is here, take it. Look, your medicine, Luci, the

water. Why do your nails grow so fast? It must be because of all the gelatin they give you, gelatin day after day, red gelatin, yellow gelatin, gelatin every day. Oh, I forgot to tell you that Mrs. Cooper died, remember her? She was even nice, she always had a kind word. Oh, I didn't like her dog, excuse me,

hello, did he ever talk to you? Of course not. He doesn't speak with words, he speaks in another way, how does he speak? You don't have children, do you? If you did, you would

know. This is atypical schizophrenia, this here is typical schizophrenia, ah, atypical nervous deterioration, no changes since the last exam, no changes or therapy recommended. Interesting, this one here shows no changes, dated September 11, 1944. Sorry, that was 25 years ago. Do you think all those with something atypical should have something typical? But what typical thing is it, doctor? Yes, do

n't you want to go somewhere, have a coffee, eat something, a tea? Ah, normally I would accept, but I have an appointment. Hmm, I know, I know, I know. It'll have to wait for another time, right? It's another time. I'll go there, I'll go there. Good

night. C [Music] [Music] Encephalitis lethargica. Encephalitis lethargica. Ah, sorry, Doctor, I thought someone had forgotten. I found it, I found the link to all the schizophrenia before they came here. Look, it's here in the 20s. That's good, isn't it? That's wonderful. I'll come back

later. Encephalitis outbreak reaches epidemic proportions. Fever of drowsiness spreads. Forgotten disease. From 1920, post-encephalic syndrome by Dr. Peter Ian, and how many did you find there? Oh, five. But I believe there are more. And how are they exactly as you described them back then? Insubstantial ghosts. I just believe that back then they were children.

Yes, children who fell asleep. Many died during the acute stage of the disease. Those who survived, who woke up, seem fine, as if nothing had happened. We hadn't realized how much the infection had damaged the brain. Years passed, 5, 10, 15, before these strange neurological symptoms

appeared. I started finding them in the early 30s. Elderly people brought by their children, young people brought by their parents. They could no longer dress or feed themselves. In many cases, they could no longer speak. Families going mad. People who were normal were now in another world. So how did they become? What are they

thinking? They're not. The virus spared no abilities. Are you sure about that? I am. Why? Because we can't even think of the alternative.

[Music]

Here, go, run after the ball, go get it. I'll stay here waiting.

[Music]

I'm in favor of tidying up the place, but what are we doing? Doing this here, I have a hunch. What's stopping Lu from getting water? Nothing exactly, just the visual of the floor changes, an emptiness. No pattern, no visual rhythm, nothing to make her continue, so we're doing something exactly slowly. [Music] Luci, I'll bring your soup, you'll

drink it all, okay? [Music] She's looking out the window. [Music] Yes, it's strange. After so

long, I want to know more about your son, because there was something wrong with his hands. He couldn't write or do his homework anymore. They told me to take him out of school. He was 11 years old. Gradually it got worse. He would call me and I would go, I would find him sitting at the table in TR.

1 hour, 2 hours later he would be fine again. One day, coming home from work, I found him in bed saying, "Mom, Mom," his arm raised like this. "What do you want, Leonard?" He never spoke again, as if he had disappeared. Later that same year, I brought him to B Bridge. It was November 14,

1939. He was 20 years old. What did he do during those years he stayed in that room, Mrs. Lou? He liked to read. The whole time it's really all he could do.

Leonardo, ready Leonardo? We're done already.

No need to tell me, it's a statue, exactly. I guessed. Oh, lend me the salt. And this refers to this reaction to the light. You were wrong, what you saw before was with the light. This was when I called him by name. Excuse me, who knows? [Music] [Applause] [Music] Right in the middle, put it there, put it there,

put it right in the middle, the little ball. That's it, doctor, doctor, can I catch a ball? Throw a ball to me, throw it to me. Can I catch the little ball? Throw it to me. Doctor, the ball. Doctor, I want the ball. Doctor, the ball. They're all there, bring them together with the others.

[Music] I don't understand this. I thought you might want to be a real father to his son. Excuse me, have the patients taken their morning medicine? That's great, it was a great decision. The doctor was hoping they would be free. Come with me, please. Hmm, what will it be now? This is one of the most beautiful areas I

know. Observe carefully to see if there is any reaction. [Music] Call me [Music] Ismael, a few years ago, it doesn't matter exactly how many, being short on money and with nothing interesting to hold my attention, Leonardo, I know you can hear me, I want you to try to respond when I say your

name, understand, it's not about putting on just any music. It has to be the right music, the right music for [Music] them, it's like they're moved by the music. I still haven't found anything that moves Berto,

they stay still all day if I let them. I have to play the first card. [Music]

Leonard elli [Music]

[Music] This is Frank, do you want to help me get him on his feet? Is there anything else that reaches him, what is human contact? Stand up there, please, he can't walk without me, he falls if I let him. I won't let you fall, look, he'll go anywhere like that with me, it's like a ball, only it's my

will. Slow down, choose this, then the... [Music]

Okay, I'll start by moving the pointer to the L for Leonard. Now, when I feel the pointer moving, I'll stop and let you continue. You understand very well. I'm starting very

well ah ah no no maybe I'm not clear enough it's my fault and and and and and Ah good good now the [Music] is this let's see it's good good this strange and it's sunny lyrizing something different [Music]

[Music] rira r r h h he [Music] Maria her gaze, staring through the bars, became so saturated that it doesn't fix on anything else for her it's as if there were bars and behind the bars no [Music] world while she walks in circles repeatedly her steps are like a ritual dance around a center where

a great desire lies paralyzed There are moments when the curtain of her eyes rises without any sound and a form enters, sneaks through the tight silence of her shoulders, reaches her heart and [Music] dies have you heard of the drug el dopa what is a synthetic dopamine Ah I heard it's for parsons patients it's not for

nothing sign the petition now thousands of young people are dying days help us get out of this disgusting war sign now 100 years would have to pass before neuropathology allowed us to locate the damage in a Parkinson's brain. Thank you, with our development of the drug L-dopa, we can now promise the patient

more through administration. I'm curious about this drug; I wanted to know if anyone has already used it on any Parkinson's patients after I finish. If not, oh yes, sorry, sorry. And as I was saying, administering L-dopa, do you think that a simple Parkinson's tremor taken to its extreme might seem as if there were no

tremor? Are you talking to me? Yes, I am. Imagine if you accelerated a Parkinsonian tremor to the point of immobility. Now imagine a patient with all the compulsions accelerated: the tremor in the hand, the head movement, the speech defects. Couldn't they all add up and turn them into a stone? I don't know. Do you

think it could help in this situation? No, I'm just a chemist. Doctor, you are the doctor; I leave it to you to cause the

damage. Freud believed in miracles, prescribing cocaine like candy. We believe in the miracle of cortisone until our parents... They became psychotic with her, now it's El Dopa. Good doctor, and with all due respect, I think it's too early to say that. Well, with all due respect, Doctor, I think it's too early to

say that. Let the chemicals cause the damage.

It's Dr. Kaufman who read about this case. Uh-huh, new drug allows patients with partial tremors to eat gelatin. Oh, I read them all, Doctor. Zealously, soberly, all 30 cases had Parkinson's. Parkinson's, take your Parkinson's, if that's what they are, they don't move. For decades, I think you should look again, sir. You know very well that you can't make

that analogy. You're trying to create a link even if there isn't one. What I believe, what I know, is that these people are alive inside. How can you know that, Doctor? Because they grab tennis balls. I know them. How many do you want to test? All of them. Some, one, one with the family's signed consent.

Leonard has Parkinson's disease, no, his symptoms are like Parkinson's, but then they aren't anymore. So, what good will the medicine do? Well, I don't know if it will help him, and what do you think it can do? I'm not sure because it was designed for... A different problem, what do you expect to

happen? I hope he comes back from wherever he is. For what? For the world? Hmm, what exists here for him after so many years? You, you are here.

[Music] [ Music]

Eh, give it all, please. [Music] With 200 mg, it showed no reaction. The acid in the juice may have neutralized it. Maybe it needs too much, maybe it needs too little. I'll try with milk. [Music]

[Music] 500

mg and now on our program. Call me if there are any changes. We'll listen to all those songs that warmed our hearts and continue to do so to this day.

Thank you, good night, Sara, good night. Ah.

[Music]

[Music]

Ah, ah.

[Music]

[Music] It's so quiet. It's late. Everyone is

sleeping. I'm not sleeping. I'm not awake. [ Music] Eh, can I? [Music] See you? [Music] [Music] Leonardo, is there someone here to see you? [ Music] Mom, mom, mom. [Music] [Music] My name is Eleanor. Eleanor, it's a pleasure to meet you. The pleasure is all mine, Nurse Bet. [Music] Margaret [Music] Hello, how are you,

sir? My name is Margaret. Margaret, Bet, Bet. This is really wonderful, isn't it? Do n't you think so, Anthony? It 's Anthony, how are you? I 'm fine, and you, how are you? I 'm fine. That's it, man, you've met him yet? He's great, isn't he? Do n't eat so fast, he's doing

very well, don't you? I wish he would starve to death, wouldn't I? If I lost 30 years of my life, I wouldn't know what to do, and you certainly wouldn't either. So, are you enjoying it? He didn't even notice, did he?

Leonardo, turn around, please. It's an instant camera. Thank you, it takes a picture in less than a minute. Amazing! Now, let's try. [Applause] That's splendid, wonderful! Now I wish you would walk to the end of the room. Go, go, go, go! Very good, very good! Now you can go back, Dr. Michael. The

phone was very fast this time. I'll get more film.

[Music] You have to at least lie down, you need rest. Oh, I

'm afraid to close my eyes. If I close my eyes, you'll fall asleep, and when you wake up in the morning, it will be tomorrow. The next day I promise

[Music] [Music] get out of the absent state something called pollution appeared I don't think Prudent isn't walking around I don't know if the hospital has coverage for this [Music] Come come come no no let's go How good to do this again Leonarda Tide is rising [Music]

This is a periodic table of the elements I can locate My introduction to science through it is wonderful to look at it is the universe in its essence you have your alkali metals and your halogens your inert gases each element has its place in this order you can't change it they are immutable no

matter what Are you married? I'm not very good with people I never have been Leonard I like them I wish I could say I had more than a rudimentary understanding of them maybe if they were less unpredictable Anor I would disagree with you eh Eleanor Miss Costello Oh yes of course she spoke to you about me

Hmm what she said that you were a good man that you cared about people

I wanted to put the rest of the group Regarding treatment, but I recognize that it can be expensive, very expensive indeed, you know? How much money are you talking about? I spoke with the pharmacist, I have an estimate. Thank you. He says that to put all the others on the same dosage, how much would they need?

12 per month? I can't take this to the board, I was thinking of speaking directly with the patrons. The few patrons the hospital has are already giving what they can. Doctor, can we convince them to give even more than they are used to? Maybe if they saw the low... I think

[Music] [Music] overestimated the effect it has on people. Doctor, we're talking about money. [Music] [Music] There was extreme rigidity of the axial musculature. This is damage to all postural reflexes and not malfunction; it's a rigidity resulting from brain arrest, a meningism. What's most shocking is the deep facial mask due to the afferent, which we now know should not be

confused with apathy or catatonia. Thank you. Less scientific and calm, however, some things could reach him: mentioning his name, notes of a certain piece of music, or the touch of another human being, but these stimuli were rare and fleeting, lasting very little time. The rest of the time he remained, as you see,

in a metaphorical or physiological equivalent of sleep or even death. This was his numerological hospital and his type of life for the last 30

years. Now, when I'm ready, my name is Leonard L. They told me I've been absent for quite a while.

[Music]

Def, well, you can take it. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you. But as I was saying, this is nothing extraordinary; it's just a reaction caused by the chemicals.

[Music] D, what was it? A

miracle happened, where are my glasses on your face? Oh, thank you. What

was it? B, close the door. [Music] I'm attentive, who is it?

[Music] You, I'm going to say hello. [Music] Oh, thank you. Today is quite

different, it's been a long time. And then, Luci, I... I had a very strange dream. I have to take your blood pressure. Where did it go? I've been sitting for 25 years. Are you okay? I need makeup. Okay, I'll take care of that. It's... and dye for my hair, black, black. Are you sure, Rose? I've

always had black hair. D, something about fruit trees? Can the fruit trees... uh, I'll do that. Tod, Araba, I want a rare fillet with mashed potatoes and sauce. I was aware of things, but nothing had meaning for me, they had no connection. There was a war this morning. I went to the bathroom alone.

Go, go, go. I'll go with... I think he was better before. PR, where did he go? PR, where did he go? Rolling... Can you talk to me? I'm Nurse Costelo. Are you

understanding me, emo? What year is it?

[Music]

1926. Consir, I confess that I've never seen this before like a... The mob that attacked the Bastille, the powerful men invaded their dressing room shortly after 9 o'clock on their memorable night and began one of the loudest, wildest, and wettest Victory celebrations in history. Freed from the captivity of the ridiculous poor seasons, then they started...

Hey Sney,

hey, let's all go to the same place. No, I really don't know... Come on, everybody, everybody here, everybody! [Music] Attention, get the... [Music] Leonard, Leonard, come on, they're waiting there. Let's go, let's go... Attention, everyone, attention, everyone, everyone!

[Music] Come in, come in, come in everyone now, coming in, coming in, come on, come on, come in! Hey Doctor, how is my father? Can you come in? Can you come in? Maybe it would be better if you didn't... Nonsense, I'll go up the stairs, I'll see you down there. Come in, come in, the

door will... [Music] close. Sidney, go, go, yes, he's a patient, Mom, not the same kind as you, but he's still a patient. Mom, I'm your mother, and is there any other mother coming with us? Come here, come here. Wait a minute, let me fix my hair, this is a tire. I know, I don't... I'm an

idiot, go, go, come here, come, come to the bus, come, bye, she thinks I'm... Oh, don't mind this, don't get

in, are you ready, Leo? I decided not to go, why? What happened? No, I don't want to go, that's all, wait. Oh, but I'm already going, hurry up, I'm going, I 'm going, Leonard, please, you're going, go with them, go with them, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, you can go, go, see you later, see you later,

the fish, please, yes, Tom. Hi, meatloaf, is this it?

Thank you,

meatloaf, are you following me? Sorry, I was just kidding, I saw you up there, are you visiting someone? You don't work here, I live here, you're a patient? No, you don't look like a patient, no. [Laughter]

I... AD, this plant, you weren't... the Lord chose this place because... I always come here because... look, don't misunderstand, it's a pleasant place, but after the first hour nobody can stand it. Do you think the group is boring? Opera, Opera, or the Natural History Museum? No, no, no, it 's all dead, it's

stopped, so where else can we go? Ask... [Music] What was it, Rose? This is already allowed, it's been a long time, the Lady... "What are you going to drink? A good Roby Roy with ice, make a non- alcoholic Roby Roy. I work at the restaurant at night, so sometimes before work I come to visit my

father. He used to watch all the games, so I read the sports page to him. I don't even know if he notices. I come to see my mother. Do you think not? Do you think so? Sometimes I think I see something, I can see a change, and I see how it was before the stroke,

then it disappears. I'm left wondering if I really saw anything. Does that make sense? I think so. Guys, let's all go together, let's all go, let's go, let's go, let's go.

But why are you here? I receive treatment here. Without it, I'm like your

father. Right now I'm fine. That's good. [Music]

[Music] I ca n't, I can't. [Music] [Music] Oh, I'm going to get [Music]

[Music] dizzy. Okay, I was so sure I wanted eggs with bacon, toast, and black coffee that I brought the food without him asking for it. And you know what he said? What? You forgot the tomato and brought it for him? We didn't have any. That's why it did n't come with a

plate. Look, it was good to talk." With you Leonarda, I also enjoyed talking to you. Bye bye Paula. Who is he? Does your father know that you visit him at the hospital? Well, good afternoon, bye. No, I don't think he's here, but I'll

call. Come on, girls, I'll introduce you. Doctor, these are my friends. Look, isn't he adorable? I'll show you the rest. [Music] Come on, girls. I do n't know how to say this, so I'll get straight to the point. Your husband, he divorced you in 1953, thank God. Look at this, boy, a 4-cylinder

Fire engine. It's a car. Please, will you give me your hand? Please get me out of here. [Music] No, wrong, no, it's right here. I think I lost it. It seems your luck is changing. Very nice, very nice. How are things going? How are they? How are you feeling? My parents died. My wife

is in a nursing home. My son is missing somewhere in the West. I feel old and I feel betrayed, you know? That's how I feel. I went to the hardware store and got more pencils and I got this, a small ruler. Oh, it will be very useful. Hi Leonard. Hi, are you here?

[Music] beautiful I'll be right back leard but he had never talked about girls and never had anything with them it's ridiculous this girl thing don't you think he's an adult now sen L you know what he told me is that I should take a vacation that I should go for a few days

relax I'm sure he meant to say that you deserve a rest which you deserve I can't leave you alone here he would die without me girls

Hello al I need to talk to you Leonardo S I think it's important I think it's important that some things be said I need to talk to you but what kind of important things that I could understand is things and where is Leonardo calling your office it's very late is Leonardo stay there I'm coming okay

great Leonardo Leonardo Dr Seia sit down sit down Why What happened we have to talk to everyone we have to remind we have to remind them how good it is how good it is Leonardo Read the newspaper What does it say more news only bad things people have forgotten what life is they have forgotten what it is to be

alive they need to be reminded they need to be reminded of what they have and what they can do Losing, I feel the joy of life, the gift of life, the freedom of life, the wonder of life. He said that people don't appreciate the simple things: working and having fun, friendship, family. He was in such excitement

that he talked until 5 in the morning. I don't know if it's liberation, mania, or love. Hmm, that's what he says. It's absolutely right. We really don't know how to live, but 5 in the morning, that's how it goes. I'm very well. It's

great, sir. I'm fine. What do you

want now, sir? Something simple. And what is it? Can I take a walk if I feel like it? Like any normal person, you can take a walk. I can alone. And what difference does that make? I'm not a criminal, I haven't committed any crime, I 'm not dangerous to myself or to others, and despite that, I can't go out

alone for a walk. I don't have permission. Didn't you agree on something? If a person... I am a person. Sir, you are noticing the unconscious hostility you are demonstrating at this moment towards us. How can I tell if it's unconscious, sir? [Laughter] Please, I'm curious what you would do if you went out. I would walk, look at things,

talk to people, decide whether to go one way or another, or if... I would go ahead, I would do the things you don't value, you're right, that's all, that's all, very well, then we'll take that into account and we'll let you know, thank you, I

feel good, I am, but I was nervous, they said the data is still insufficient and that more observation time will be needed for a more complete diagnosis, they said that out there it's a different world and that maybe you 're not prepared and that they can't take responsibility for what might happen, they said

no, and what did I say? They don't need to listen to me, do you agree with them? That's how it is, I don't know if there's no more risk and I'm also not sure if this is nothing, it's an experimental drug. We need more time to assess things, you don't have to accept this,

Leonardo, Leonardo, Leonardo, where are you going for a walk, Leonard, wait, [Music] it 's Dr. Cortez, call the lab, Dr. Cortez, call the [Music] lab, where are you going, I'm going there, sorry but you can't go through, look here, don't make things worse, I want to go for a walk, can't, can't, I want to, I want to

go outside, [ Applause] [Applause] [Music] Leonard, I don't understand. He never caused trouble before. He was calm, polite, respectful. He never demanded anything, he was never disobedient. Why was he catatonic? I'm talking about when he was a boy. Yes, sorry. I don't know what's going on there, and I think he doesn't know either. You've turned him into something he's not. We're not the ones

who are deficient,

no, they're afraid. They're afraid because they know, they know, they know. We remind them, we remind them that there's a problem, a problem for which there's no answer, and they'll never be healers until they understand that, until they see the problem. Until they start admitting that there is a problem, and the problem isn't us, we're not the

problem, it's them, they are the problem, they are the problem, they are the problem, they are the problem. He lived 30 years without being able to vent his anger. The others too. I think his behavior is more normal than the others'. Oh, really? His tics and paranoia are part of normal behavior because he's in that

place. Is that really it? We woke him up and then locked him in a cage. That's not it. Paranoia is a fact. The fact is, doctor, I have 20 psychotic patients refusing to eat. They have no idea why they're refusing to eat. How long should I allow this? He knows why he wants to leave. Dr. Seyer,

Mr. Low isn't the Messiah of ward 5. He's a disturbed man. He wasn't resurrected. He took a medication given by the gentleman who got that miraculous reputation. The others are fine, they have n't shown any signs. He's been taking it for longer. Listen, I even like him. I tried to cover for him, but I'm not going to

let him endanger the health of the other patients in this hospital. No, no, no, I need help. Wait outside. Thank you, thank you. Excuse me, excuse me. We can't allow this. He 's good, he's good.

How are you today? I'm great, and you've never been better. What do these gentlemen intend? These gentlemen want to protect me? I wish! No need. They're trying to harm you. Who? Who? That's the problem. Who never knows? Someone always expects. I expect. Look at the story, Leonardo. Every patient in this ward thinks there's a plot against them. They're

wrong. They're [Laughter] crazy. You've gotten worse. The drug isn't working; all you're feeling are side effects that make you behave like this during a visit. But I have things to do, Leonardo. Leonardo, please look at yourself, look at yourself. I have an illness. This illness took me from the world, and I fought to come back. I fought for 30

years, 30 years, and I continue fighting. But you, you have no excuse, you have no excuse. You are just an abandoned and lonely man with nothing, without life, without anything. You who are sleeping, they can take away your medicine, they can do that. You can wake up and it won't be there. Leonard, get away from me.

[Music] It's okay, it's okay, and

[Music]

[Music]

if I... Aguti [Music] can walk. I won't let them cut off a medicine. We'll work together with him. I'm just saying that we're taking a risk for nothing. He had a reaction to the drug, he acquired some tics, but he's not worried about his appearance or how much this might affect the other

patients. We'll closely monitor his dosage. He knows this and is prepared for undesirable effects, but he wants the others to be prepared too. You have to help. In that, count on us, Doctor.

Hi Leonard, welcome to the group, thank you. Look, hi, how are you, L? How are you feeling? It's good to see you. Thank you, everything is so calm. [Music] It's great, you can continue like this, great, you're great, you're getting better every day, and you? And if he's rejecting the medication, if it's a

matter of time for all of us, and clinically what's happening to him doesn't necessarily have to happen to you, and why not? It's because you're different and everyone is fine, aren't we? [Music]

That was beautiful, Luy. I learned this song a long, long time ago. I don't know what year it is, I just can't see myself as older than 22. I do n't have experience with this. I know it's not 1926, I just wish [Music] it was like this. I've never been better. How are the others? They're

talking about me, they're scared. They must be [Music]. Can you stop that? I'm not sure, I'm trying. Don't give up on me, don't

[Music].

Let's go with 425. I received a postal dog from my son. I 'm fine. Suddenly everything stops. I received a postal dog from my son. No warning, how? The light switch flips, it happens so fast, it has to happen, bring me back, a sound or a touch so I can move again, I'm back again.

Thank you, this is great, good, it's not that I feel bad, it's nothing, I don't feel anything, it's like I 'm dead, nothing, nothing, it seems like I'm not a person anymore, just a set of tics, not that I care about them, sometimes they make life interesting, only I don't know who's in charge,

me or them, but I care to know that they shouldn't exist, increase to five, increasing more

C, just a little more, okay, I feel good when I work, I feel good here, the relationship with the books is going well, everything's fine. Oh, I wanted to see, is it here somewhere? Will you leave it for another time, Leonard? What, what's happening? Are you having a seizure? A spasm? Get the camera, get the camera, the

camera! Oh,

I can't do this, I'm going to turn it off. Look, look, look, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn,

learn for me, PR, me. 625, very good, 625, 67, 675, 675,

okay, I can't read anymore, I can't focus my gaze anymore, I keep going back to the beginning, beginning, beginning, beginning, beginning, beginning, I talked to everyone, didn't I? I disappointed you, I said, I said I'm grotesque, no, no, it's not true, I don't want to see you say I'm grotesque, I am, look

at me, look at me and tell me I'm not, say I'm not, it's not, it's not me, it's not me.

When my son was born healthy, I never asked why, why I was so lucky, what I had done to deserve this perfect child, this perfect life, but when he got sick, then I asked, then I demanded to know why it was happening, there was nothing I could do, no one I could go to and say stop

this, please stop this, don't you see my son is suffering, my son is suffering, please stop, he's fighting, Mrs. Low is losing.

Ah, I worked, I received some friends, we danced, it 's not much, just that. Well, I think it's great, I could never do more, but they will never let me leave this place, they shouldn't, I'm still not well, I 'm not well. As you can see, but I feel good when I see

you, I won't see you anymore.

[Music] I wanted to say goodbye. [Music]

[Music] Look, Leo! [Music]

C [ Music]

[Music] a [Music]

[Music] Now when you're ready, my name is Leonard L. They told me that I've been gone for a long time. I'm back. How are you back? At first I thought it was a dream. What made you see that it wasn't a dream? When I spoke and you

understood me, you told him I was a good man. But what kind of goodness is this, giving life and then taking it away? It was given and taken from all of us. Why doesn't that comfort me? Because you are a good man. [Music] Because he is your friend.

[Music] The summer was extraordinary. It was a season of rebirth and innocence. A miracle for 15 patients and for us who cared for them. But now we have to adjust to the reality of miracles. [Music] We can hide behind science and say that it was the medicine that failed, or that the disease had returned, or that

the patients couldn't overcome having lost years of their lives. But the reality is that we don't know what went wrong, nor what went right. What we do know is that with the closing of the chemical window, another awakening will happen, that of the human spirit. It's stronger than any drug and that's what needs to be

fed with work, distraction, friendship and family, that's what matters, that's what we had forgotten, the simplest thing. Good

night, good night.

[Music] Eleanor, what?

[Music] Eleanor, what happened? I was thinking, what are you going to do? Do you have any plans tonight? I figured, no plans, no, I don't have any plans. I thought you, you and I, could

have a coffee. I'd really like to. [Music] My car is right there, isn't it better if we walk? For me, it's [Music] Okay. The doctor and his team continued working with the patients, with the new drug treatments that became available. Leonard and many of the patients experienced brief periods of awakening, but never as

dramatically as they did in the summer of 1969. The doctor continues working at the chronically ill hospital in the

Bronx. Let's begin. [Music]
