Sarah Reese
- Dr. Sarah Reese: So why would a nineteen year old have a bowel obstruction?
- Dr. Ethan Choi: Good question. All his other tests are normal.
- Dr. Sarah Reese: It could be stress, right?
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Could be. Stress can present a hundred different ways.
- Dr. Sarah Reese: But you think it's something else?
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Don't know. That's what you're gonna find out.
- Dr. Sarah Reese: You were right. There is something going on with Danny.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Oh. Tell me.
- Dr. Sarah Reese: He told me he's addicted to heroin. Uh, he started going through withdrawal, he's stable now, on methadone and Ativan, and I... I know detox is a long road, but maybe we can help.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Could work. Let's see what we got.
- Dr. Sarah Reese: [after talking to their patient and his mother] I don't know what happened. He's totally different.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Well, it's gonna be a little tense with mom in there, right?
- Dr. Sarah Reese: But it's like a switch was flipped. He wouldn't even look me in the eye.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Something is a little off. What... how long 'till he's discharged?
- Dr. Sarah Reese: Well, his obstruction's cleared, and now that we know it was caused by the heroin, there's no reason to keep him once his IV's done.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Let's ask Dr. Choi to order a lactic level and an iron panel.
- Dr. Sarah Reese: Why would we want those?
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Buy us a little time. We got to separate 'em, and see if we can find out what's what.
- Dr. Sarah Reese: [looking at a patient's x-ray] Straight edges, opaque. It looks man-made, like there was something under Danny on the table.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: No, this is definitely inside of him. I could be wrong, but I think this might be a tracking device.
- Dr. Sarah Reese: A what?
- Dr. Daniel Charles: A transponder. Emits a homing signal. Would explain how that woman found him.
- Dr. Sarah Reese: You mean his mom?
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Yeah, is she, though? I mean, think about it; the guarded behavior, heroin abuse.
- Dr. Sarah Reese: Wait, you think he's a drug mule?
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Resistance to examination by male doctors suggesting a history of abuse by other men. I've seen this before. I think that Danny might be a victim of sex trafficking.
- Dr. Sarah Reese: Sex trafficking? So that woman...
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Is his pimp.
- Dr. Sarah Reese: We can't just let her take him.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: He is not a minor, so we have no right to intercede unless he explicitly asks us to.
- Dr. Sarah Reese: But he wanted me to find the chip. He wanted me to know.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Well, what did he say? What exactly did he say?
- Dr. Sarah Reese: He didn't... he didn't say anything, but he was...
- Dr. Daniel Charles: See, Sarah, it's not enough. Crazy as it sounds, we need to know that he's psychologically ready to be extricated. We do this the wrong way, we call the police, could be very, very bad for him. It's why we need to hear it from is own lips. Trust me.
- Dr. Sarah Reese: Then I need to talk to him.
