Quotes 

• Dr. Sarah Reese : Danny said he'd get back in touch.

  Dr. Daniel Charles : When he does, you should refer him to the psych clinic.

  Dr. Sarah Reese : Well, he won't go. He's afraid to come into the hospital or any clinic. He's afraid the traffickers will find out and he only wants to see me outside.

  Dr. Daniel Charles : Bad idea.

  Dr. Sarah Reese : Well, Dr. Charles, he's suicidal.

  Dr. Daniel Charles : So, let me get this straight. You are gonna give him psychotherapy in the parking lot once a week? Dr. Reese, this patient - any patient - has got to be treated in the proper clinical setting.

  Dr. Sarah Reese : He feels a connection to me.

  Dr. Daniel Charles : Let me ask you something. You feel like you're the only one who can help him? Only one who understands him?

  Dr. Sarah Reese : No. No, it's just...

  Dr. Daniel Charles : Just what?

  Dr. Sarah Reese : I care about him.

  Dr. Daniel Charles : Cut it off. You're too involved.

  Dr. Sarah Reese : But I... I... I don't understand.

  Dr. Daniel Charles : What happens if you don't get the rosy outcome you're looking for?

  Dr. Sarah Reese : I think I can deal with that.

  Dr. Daniel Charles : No. Crucial part of my job is protecting my staff. You are headed down a dangerous path. Step away. We clear?

  [Reese slowly, but sadly, nods] 

  Dr. Daniel Charles : Good.

• 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] 

  Erin Lindsay : 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.
