00:00 I am not my body.
00:02 I am not my spirit.
00:06 I am a being.
00:11 [Music]
00:37 This is it then.
00:39 Remember, you are the only one who makes these decisions.
00:44 It's not me.
00:45 It's not the bridge.
00:47 It's you.
00:49 It's you, Bear.

02:22 Hi, you've reached the office of Dr. Sokol.
02:26 Please leave a message and I will call you back.
02:28 Thanks.
02:30 Dr. Sokol, this is Ben Rubin.
02:34 Dr. Martin gave me your number.
02:37 He said that you are an expert on phobias.
02:40 You might be able to help me with this.
02:42 This is a germaphobia.
02:45 I can't drag this any longer.
02:49 I have to cross that bridge.
02:52 [Music]
02:56 We'll see, Mr. Rubin.
02:58 We'll see.
02:59 You know my grandfather.
03:02 He was a soldier like you.
03:06 Not a pilot, though.
03:09 He died...
03:11 He was a Polish artillery officer and he died in Berlin, 9th of May, 1945.
03:21 The last day of the war.
03:23 And I could remember him only by this photo.
03:30 You said that this started with your wife.
03:33 How did you meet her?
03:34 I met Annie on the bridge.
03:36 [Music]
03:54 I was waiting for the bus to go to a party at a friend's place downtown.
03:58 [Music]
04:25 We exchanged several looks.
04:28 [Music]
04:38 [Music]
05:05 She walked in front of me.
05:08 [Music]
05:14 She must have thought I was following her.
05:17 [Music]
05:46 [Music]
05:53 Turns out we were going to the same party.
05:56 [Music]
06:23 From the beginning, our conversation was so fluent, like I've known her all my days.
06:30 There wasn't any single moment of that awkward silence.
06:34 [Music]
06:41 She had an accent if she was a...
06:44 Serbian.
06:45 [Music]
06:49 She told me that she was originally from...
06:52 Belgrade.
06:53 And that she moved here with her parents and her brother when she was seven.
06:59 My brother went back there with wife and kids.
07:02 She said with that big smile on her face.
07:06 From that instant on, every moment in my life was about her.
07:11 [Music]
07:18 It took us only a few months to move in together.
07:21 After a year, we were married.
07:24 She was three months pregnant.
07:27 [Music]
07:56 Then everything started to fall apart.
08:01 I suppose destiny or something interfered like never before in my life.
08:09 It was the Balkans, doctor. The Balkans.
08:14 The situation became extremely intense.
08:17 It was only a matter of time before it all exploded.
08:21 The bombing of Serbia was imminent.
08:24 My squadron in Italy called me.
08:27 [Music]
08:33 Yeah, but what was her reaction?
08:35 She begged me.
08:37 She begged me not to go.
08:39 She said I'd be dropping bombs on her brother and her family and her relatives.
08:45 She begged me not to go.
08:48 For the love of our baby.
08:51 I told her that I'm doing my job. It was my duty.
08:56 There's nothing I can do about it.
08:59 [Music]
09:20 I told her that.
09:22 I love her. Our baby.
09:25 And I always will.
09:28 And nothing will ever change that.
09:34 So I went to the war.

11:54 Missions took place mostly at night time.
11:59 I felt better.
12:04 I felt better knowing that no one would see me.
12:08 And that I wouldn't be punished for what we were doing.
12:15 We flew at high altitudes.
12:19 We were protected by their radars.
12:24 [Music]
12:31 We started to knock off the bridges one by one.
12:36 [Music]
13:05 [Music]
13:15 [Music]
13:38 Yes Ben?
13:41 One day we had a daytime mission.
13:43 And... disaster.
13:46 We were to take out this railroad bridge.
13:52 During the first raid, my weapons officer failed to...
13:59 He failed to take out the bridge in the first run.
14:04 And as we were turning around to make another hit,
14:09 something terrible happened.
14:11 I saw a train approaching it.
14:14 I asked my weapons officer and myself, I said, "We couldn't do this."
14:22 I couldn't do it.
14:26 The command came again, "Go for it."
14:32 Go for it.
14:36 Before I could do anything, before I could turn the plane up,
14:40 my weapons officer took the bridge out.
14:44 It happened to be a civilian train after all.
14:49 Killing 50 people.
14:52 50 people?
14:54 Civilians.

16:26 [Music]
16:36 [Music]
16:46 [Music]
16:56 That's not the end.
16:59 We were heading back to base, and we were hit by anti-aircraft missiles.
17:06 We were catapulted ourselves out of the cockpit.
17:10 And that's when I saw the flash.
17:13 [Music]
17:15 It was a flash of agony.
17:19 A little boy, maybe about two or three years old,
17:27 coming down the escalator.
17:30 [Music]
17:40 The little boy was running towards me.
17:45 [Music]
18:05 I was just about to lift him up.
18:09 [Sound of the plane taking off]
18:21 Next thing I remember, I'm in a military hospital.
18:25 What happened then?
18:28 Well, they never sent me back into action.
18:32 Three or four weeks of hospitalization.
18:37 I went back home.
18:39 When I was home, I couldn't bear to watch a film, a magazine, the TV, anything about a bridge.
18:51 Nothing.
18:57 When I would see something, I'd start to sweat, shake, loss of breath.
19:09 I was losing control.
19:12 I feel like I've lost control.
19:17 So you quit the Army?
19:19 Yeah.
19:21 And you came back home to Anya?
19:24 I couldn't find her.
19:27 I couldn't find her anywhere.
19:30 I asked neighbors, friends, I asked her parents.
19:38 They chased me away.
19:43 Dr. Sokol, I was going crazy.
19:47 I was going crazy.
19:53 I decided to go to Belgrade.
19:58 I found neither Anya nor anything.
20:02 But I saw something else.
20:06 [Music]
20:20 My stomach turned upside down.
20:29 I don't know how I endured the view.
20:33 [Music]
20:45 [Music]
20:55 [Music]
21:05 [Music]
21:15 [Music]
21:25 [Music]
21:35 [Music]
21:44 That's all.
21:46 That's all there is.
21:48 My life is ruined.
21:51 I can't cross a bridge.
21:56 And worst of all, my Anya.
22:01 I can't find her.
22:04 Just my love.
22:07 I made a terrible mistake, doctor.
22:11 I should never have gone into that war.
22:16 I should have listened to her.
22:23 Dr. Sokol, I need your help.
22:30 There is so many ways to help you, man.
22:34 But it will take some time.
22:38 In the meantime, we have to deal with other issues.
22:44 I suggest that we do first hypnosis.
22:48 And we will do visualization.
22:51 And then we can actually cross the bridge.
22:54 With hypnosis, you don't actually have to do anything.
22:58 You just have to relax and everything will be fine.
23:02 With instructions and the right information.
23:08 I will guide you through that.
23:10 No problem, man.
23:12 I want you to visualize.
23:16 To see in your mind, you crossing the bridge.
23:21 You've been always forcing yourself to do something.
23:26 And you're not doing it.
23:29 You've been always forcing yourself to see the limitation of crossing the bridge.
23:34 Not being able to cross the bridge.
23:36 Now, I'm going to help you to introduce new vision to your mind.
23:44 Then, you have to visualize stepping on the bridge.
23:48 Smelling the bridge.
23:50 Testing the bridge.
23:51 Seeing clouds passing by.
23:53 And walking.
23:54 And the breeze coming and gently touching you and welcoming you on the bridge.
24:00 There is no fear.
24:02 There is excitement.
24:03 There is a new beginning.
24:05 So, yes.
24:09 Physical exercise.
24:11 Because you've been denying yourself for a long time.
24:16 And then we are going to cross the bridge.
24:19 [Music]
24:39 I am not my mind.
24:41 This is it, man.
24:44 Remember.
24:46 You are the only one who makes these decisions.
24:49 It's not me.
24:50 It's not the bridge.
24:52 It's you.
24:54 It's you, man.
24:57 You are the only one who can do it, man.
25:00 The bridge is here.
25:02 Just one step.
25:05 It's up to you.
25:09 And I know that you can do it, man.
25:13 I'm sure about it.
