Jay Halstead quotes from Chicago Med

Jay, she was on a placebo. They never knew. It was all for nothing.

Jay Halstead

No, you cared. I think, if we care, then whatever happens, it's for something. We might not see the effect, but It goes out there and it circulates around. It makes us all better, you know?

My brother, cop and philosopher.

Jay Halstead

[smiles] You've got to think big picture.

Hey, pop.

What are you doing here?

Jay Halstead

I called him.

Wasted trip. I don't need you.

Jay Halstead

Are you kidding me? You missed two days of work, and you never miss work.

Pops, this is Connor Rhodes. He's another doc at Med.

[glares at Will] Told you I don't need this.

Come on, you can barely talk.

I'm gonna take advice from someone who wet the bed till he was nine?

Jay Halstead

Never changes. [gets up to leave] I gotta get back to the district.

Thanks, Jay.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Jay Halstead

I spoke to the parents together and independently.

And?

Jay Halstead

I don't like the stepdad for the guy. He offered to give a polygraph and submit his DNA. Offenders don't usually behave that way.

Any other leads?

Jay Halstead

Allison's comprehensive tox screen detected trace amounts of triazolam in her blood. That's a benzo, right?

Yeah. A sedative hypnotic with amnestic properties.

Jay Halstead

The stepdad's an accountant. I don't see him getting his hands on that.

Unless maybe he was prescribed it. I mean, it is sometimes used for insomnia.

Yeah, it definitely puts you out. The hospital uses it mostly to treat patient anxiety, usually before procedures, MRIs scans, things like that.

Jay Halstead

So she could have gotten it here. Did you give it her before the CT scan?

No.

[checking his tablet] No.

Jay Halstead

Another doctor then, maybe. Did the mom mention any other recent medical issues?

No, nothing. Other than the symptoms that brought her in today. [remembering something] Braces. Allison did just get her braces on.

Dentists also sometimes use triazolam.

Dr. Daniel Charles

I think we're dealing with a case of folie à deux.

Which is...

Dr. Daniel Charles

A shared delusion.

Jay Halstead

[approaching] Heads up, guys, I got an arrest warrant for Brittany Coleman, attempted murder. Gonna transfer her to the psych ward at Cook County.

Dr. Daniel Charles

Before you do that, there's somebody I'd like you to meet. Two minutes.

What's the story?

Jay Halstead

Well, Carter said that Bo was, uh, cooking up BHL. [seeing he doesn't understand] Uh, butane hash oil. You blast marijuana with enough butane, and you get pure THC.

Dr. Ethan Choi

Lengths kids will go to to get high these days.

Jay Halstead

So, the officer saw the guy ditch the assault rifle, then he got a shot off, and then he lost him in the crowd.

Sharon Goodwin

And you think now he's here?

Jay Halstead

Yeah, maybe. He was wearing a hoodie. We recovered it at the scene. Tested positive for gunshot residue, and there was blood on it.

Sharon Goodwin

So the officer might have shot him.

Jay Halstead

Well, that's the theory. We're thinking either the paramedics brought him in or he's hiding among the injured, so we're checking all the hospitals against the officer's partial description.

Jay Halstead

What's up? You want a rematch?

[sarcastic laugh] I was just wondering, are you still holding on to mom's wedding ring?

Jay Halstead

Yeah, of course. Why wouldn't I? [realizing] Oh!

Just trying not to be a knucklehead.

Jay Halstead

Okay, uh, well, come on in, and I'll go get it.

What's up, Jay?

Jay Halstead

Gunshot victim. Just waiting to get a statement. What'd Natalie say?

I'll tell you tonight.

Jay Halstead

You didn't ask her yet? You've had mom's ring a week.

It's gotta be perfect. Do you have any idea what real French champagne costs?

Jay Halstead

More than you can afford.

[snickering] Don't I know it.

Jay Halstead

[his Dad is hospitalized at Chicago Med] Pop tried to play hero. He forgot he was in his 60s with a bum ticker.

Yeah, well, this is your fault to begin with.

Jay Halstead

Me?

Yeah. Stick me in that fire trap.

Pop, stop talking.

Jay Halstead

You said you liked the place.

You close on the EKG?

N1Nurse #1

Just about.

What's the point of this?

Easy. Paramedics said you were complaining of chest pain. Did you forget you had a quadruple bypass a few weeks ago? Come on, stay still.

[enters] Hey, if it isn't my favorite patient. How you doing, Mr. Halstead?

Fine.

So you felt some tightness in your chest, huh?

It's nothing.

Well, you might be right. I don't see any ST elevation or depression. No left access deviation. Looks like a strong and healthy heart to me.

Yeah, good. We done?

Nope, not yet. You still have a pretty nasty inhalation injury.

Can I get a CBC, CMP, and carboxyhemoglobin?

And add a full cardiac workup.

Maggie Lockwood

Dr. Rhodes? Dr. Choi needs a consult.

Yeah. Mr. Halstead, a pleasure as always.

Thank you, Connor.

I don't need all this.

Jay Halstead

Calm down, you're getting yourself worked up.

What do you know? You're no doctor.

Will Halstead

Pop.

Jay Halstead

Forget it.

You had no right to sell my house.

Jay Halstead

You want to talk about this again? It was a wreck. You couldn't take care of the place.

You just wanted my money.

Jay Halstead

Hey. You don't have any money, you thankless old prick! Whatever.

Jay.
