Erin Lindsay quotes from Chicago Med

Erin Lindsay

So this hypothetical patient... female?

Dr. Sarah Reese

Male, hypothetically.

Erin Lindsay

Okay. And you say he was implanted with a tracking device?

Dr. Sarah Reese

Yes.

Erin Lindsay

Innovative. We... we usually see human trafficking victims who've been branded or tattooed, but not this. How old is he?

Dr. Sarah Reese

[unsure what to say] Um...

Dr. Daniel Charles

We don't have consent to get any more specific.

Erin Lindsay

Sure. [turning to Reese] You want to help this boy get out of the life. It's complicated. Traffickers control their victims in a number of ways; psychologically through fear and emotional abuse, and physically. Drugs. Torture. He's up against a lot. I think it'll help him open up if he feels like he can trust you.

Dr. Daniel Charles

Pretty sure he already does.

Erin Lindsay

Great. Once he tells you that he's ready to involve us, just call me, and we'll start looking at ways to extricate him, but in the meantime, you have to be really careful. His fears are legitimate. If these traffickers find out that he's trying to get out, that he could potentially become a witness against them, they'll kill him.

Erin Lindsay

Protective custody?

Dr. Sarah Reese

Mm-hmm.

Erin Lindsay

We don't have a suspect, much less an open investigation. We legally can't protect Danny unless he gives us information about the people who held him captive.

Dr. Sarah Reese

So talk to him.

Erin Lindsay

I did. I tried. I went to the shelter, and he wouldn't talk to me.

Dr. Sarah Reese

Well, now he's gonna have to sleep on the street tonight. Are you okay with that?

Erin Lindsay

No, of course not.

Dr. Sarah Reese

So... can we talk to him together? 'Cause maybe he'll open up with me there.

Erin Lindsay

Let's give it a shot.

Dr. Sarah Reese

[after trying to talk to Danny] He's not ready.

Erin Lindsay

He's obviously terrified. And I wish that I could help, but my hands are tied here. Let me know if he changes his mind.

Dr. Sarah Reese

Okay.

Erin Lindsay

Good luck.

Erin Lindsay

Is this our victim?

Dr. Natalie Manning

Yeah. It's awful. You ever seen anything like this?

Erin Lindsay

I wish I could say I hadn't.

Maggie Lockwood

Okay, let's lift. One, two, three.

Dr. Natalie Manning

So helpless.

Erin Lindsay

We're looking into all of the employees at Teresa's facility. We're checking visitor logs, security footage. We'll find out who had access to her and to her floor.

Maggie Lockwood

But the rape kit's only supposed to reveal DNA for the past five days. How is this gonna help?

Erin Lindsay

I hate to say this, but the likelihood in a case like this is that the offender's been assaulting her regularly, maybe even daily.
