I'm ASA Ramirez, state's attorney investigating today's shootout. I'd appreciate if you could retrieve the bullet so that we can run ballistics.
My priority is to save this man's life. You'll get your bullet if it's medically advisable.
It must be hard remembering all their names. Now, I read that Derek Jeter used to send his conquests home with a gift basket, but a full cardio workup is-is much classier.
Jeter, huh? You-you're... you're a baseball fan?
No. It's too boring. But I love gossip.
[learning she needs surgery] What do they say? "You reap what you sow"? This must be karmic retribution for cheating on my husband.
Your coronary disease didn't just develop overnight. It's been building up for a long time.
I've been cheating on my husband for a long time.
How are you holding up?
Trying to keep it together for him. To be honest, Ethan... I'm scared.
Even if the worst happens, Barry's not criminally responsible. The shooting was instigated by someone else.
It was... it was self-defense.
I know, but... how is Barry supposed to carry that burden?
Dr. Charles, I know I didn't take your approach today...
You didn't take my approach? You directly defied my orders, and put yourself and your patient in real danger.
Ben isn't dangerous. I think I just proved that.
The only thing you proved to me is that you're reckless and insubordinate, and I have half a mind to suspend you again.
The last few months, you've been preaching to me that I can either see my patients as a threat or as an opportunity. Was I afraid in there? Yes. But my fear no longer controls me. I control it, and now Ben controls his, too.
You are missing the point! I appreciate that exposure therapy has given you a newfound sense of confidence, but it does not make you all-knowing and invincible. What you just did in there was unbelievably stupid.
Hey, Doc, I got a patient in 4, Brittany Coleman, stabbed her neighbor. Cops have her under guard. Seems pretty nutty. Wanna take a look?
"Pretty nutty". Is that a... is that a clinical term?
She's had fentanyl, but no sedation.
I'll be right there.
So, your wife tells me that Ben hasn't had any of his childhood vaccinations.
Oh, god, here we go. Really? You had to tell her? You know how these people think, honey.
Yeah, I had to tell her.
If you notice, Doctor, our son is doing just fine.
Yeah, maybe he's just fine, but your niece is in there with whooping cough, most likely because of him, because of you.
You don't know that.
That baby is suffering horribly. She could die.
Aaron!
Look, I'm sorry, but I have to do what I think is right. I have to protect my son.
Oh, you think you're protecting him? Do you have any idea how dangerous an ED is for a child without immunity? Do not assume that there aren't more idiots like you out there.
Excuse me?
And who knows what these kids might have. Measles, mumps, polio. Get your son out of here. [he doesn't move] I'm serious. Get your son out of here now.
How could I have missed that? I did a chest x-ray and an EKG...
Neither of which showed the aortic dissection. Look, every indication was that the guy was having a heart attack.
What if I had just done a-a bedside echo?
Why? Look, you thought your priority was to get him to the cath lab.
But that was wrong.
Look... we're all taught to see things a certain way, and most of the time, that works, just... not all the time. It is a very, very hard thing to see past our assumptions. Believe me, I'm still learning.
I think we're dealing with a case of folie à deux.
Which is...
A shared delusion.
[approaching] Heads up, guys, I got an arrest warrant for Brittany Coleman, attempted murder. Gonna transfer her to the psych ward at Cook County.
Before you do that, there's somebody I'd like you to meet. Two minutes.
That guy who didn't immunize his kid, did I hear you call him an idiot? That was a very Will Halstead moment.
I just... I can't stand it. No matter how much science we give people, no matter how much proof, they just go on believing what they wanna believe. I mean, the guy who started this whole anti-vac thing has been completely discredited. So what is wrong with people? Why do they keep clinging to this myth?
Mass hysteria.
Yeah, and that baby pays the price.
[about a juvenile transplant patient] We have to put him on ECMO.
What?
He's satting in the 80s and wearing down. His respiratory muscles are going to give out.
But ECMO could introduce an infection. It's a partial contraindication of surgery.
And Kansas is a two-hour flight. We have to keep him oxygenated 'till the lungs get here.
Those lungs only last four hours. If anything goes wrong before they get here, and he's stuck on ECMO, we may not be able to get him off. He could die.
Then we make sure that nothing goes wrong.
Dr. Reese, how was your dinner with your dad?
It was good. Uh, I mean, I'm glad we're talking again. He's funny, smart.
You don't sound entirely convinced.
Well, it's just kinda hard to look past the last twenty years. I know he wrote me those letters, but... there were other ways to contact me if he wanted. Makes me wonder.
Well, you know what, I've always been immensely impressed with your instincts, so... no reason to stop listening to them now.
We found a large growth in your larynx. It's almost certainly cancer.
All right.
Now, the good news is we have an excellent oncology department, so I'd like to arrange for a biopsy and a consultation, so that they can determine...
It's okay. I'm not interested.
Mr. Thomas, the sooner you begin treatment, the better your chances of survival.
You don't understand. I'm... I'm ready to die.
I know it's a lot of information, and it can seem overwhelming, but I...
I said no.
Can you tell me why you're so resistant to treatment?
Because I've made it 56 years without molesting a child, and I can't stand it anymore.
I'm sorry?
I'm a pedophile. And I wanna die.
A transfusion is going to increase his antibody county. His PRA's already at 50. If it hits 80, we can't use those lungs.
You think I don't know that? We don't have a choice.
We wouldn't be in this situation if you hadn't insisted on ECMO in the first place.
You keep pointing out problems. What I need are solutions, so if you don't have any, just... just get out of my way, okay?
Dr. Halstead has a point. Is this man, this pedophile, really being rational?
Funny enough, it sounds to me like he is.
So we just have to, uh, stand by and watch him kill himself?
Not treating your cancer is not the same thing as committing suicide. I mean, it's his decision. He's allowed to make it. More to the point, I think what he may be trying to do is looking for a way to... escape his urges.
By dying.
Dr. Reese, have you ever seen a pedophile's PET scan?
[she shakes her head 'no']
The prefrontal cortex and the putamen, they... they light up. There's a very good chance that pedophilia could be genetically hardwired into the brain.
There-there-there's nothing he can do about it?
Well, yes and no. I mean, the thinking is you can't change the hardware, but the software is another question, and it sounds to me like... like that's what Mr. Thomas has been trying to do. If you look at it from his perspective, the whole thing seems quite rational.
