Dr. Michael Anthony Brace: When I found her, she looked beautiful. Why do you have to die to let go? All my life, I've had trouble with people. I didn't need them. I always had my own way. Total confidence. And now, because of this - thing she left me, this tape, I'm scared. For the first time, I'm so scared. But the thing is, I like it! I want more! Look, you're married to the first man in the history of the world, who has a chance to take a scientific look at the scariest thing a person ever has to face. I've gotta do it! I've gotta play it. Play that tape! And you have to help me.
