Chicago Med (2015–…): Season 5, Episode 20 - A Needle in the Heart - full transcript
Dr. Crockett is visited by two New Orleans detectives who have questions about his past. Dr. Choi puts his life in danger to save a child. Dr. Charles gives fatherly advice to his young daughter.
.
[bright tones]
Dad, are they gonna
separate you from me?
Why do you ask that?
'Cause you haven't been
a very good dad.
I promise I'm gonna do better.
It was so easy for me to see
Crockett as the problem.
Whatever happened between
him and me in the past...
I get it now.
Because the real problem
was always right here.
Whatever it is you want,
it isn't me.
It's been a really
good couple of weeks.
- Yeah, it has.
And not just us.
Rehab... you been knocking it
out of the park.
I'm really proud of you.
- Hey.
- Oh, hey.
Sorry,
I was trying not to wake you.
Where are you headed so early?
- To a meeting.
I feel like I could use one.
- Wait a second.
I'll get dressed and drive you.
- No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, stay in bed.
I'll see you at work.
[soft dramatic music]
♪
Bye.
[sighs]
Hannah, you forgot your phone.
Dr. Moody said
you were the one to see...
That you'd take good care of us.
- Yeah.
Moody and I go way back.
Medical school.
We used to ride
motorcycles together.
Dr. Moody rode a motorcycle?
Yeah, but he had to give it up
when he became a pediatrician.
The stethoscope kept flying off
his neck on the way to work.
[laughs]
Please don't give Billy
any ideas.
I have enough worries
with him on his bike.
Uh-oh.
You like riding
your bike, Billy?
Yeah, but my mom
won't let me ride at night.
Well, that's probably
a good thing, bud.
- X-ray's ready.
- Step back, please.
All right, hold your breath
for me now, Billy.
Ready?
We got a couple
of non-displaced cracked ribs.
The issue is
this hemothorax here
in Billy's chest.
- Hemothorax?
That sounds bad.
No, it's just a buildup of blood
between the lung and chest wall.
It explains why he's been
having difficulty breathing.
But we can fix that.
We just have to drain the blood.
- Well, does that mean surgery?
- Well, hopefully not.
We're gonna try
a chest tube first.
Set me up for a 28 French tube.
Okay, Billy.
I'm gonna bring you back.
Now can you lift
that left arm for me?
Maybe.
- Oh, yeah.
I know it's sore.
All right, this next part's
gonna hurt a little bit.
- Think you can handle it?
- I'll be okay.
- That's what I like to hear.
[chuckles]
Billy was born
with a diaphragmatic hernia,
so unfortunately,
he's no stranger to hospitals.
Aw, well, you are very brave,
Billy, and you're doing great.
Speaking of, Billy,
how come I ain't ever seen
you and Spider-Man in the
same place at the same time?
[laughs]
Almost done.
It must be torture to watch
your kid suffer like that.
Yeah, I'm sure it is.
You ever think
about having kids?
- Oh, no.
Kids are not my speed.
And why is that?
Dr. Marcel...
- Detective Poulson, Chicago PD.
- Doc.
And Detectives Bridges and Hayes
from the New Orleans
Police Department.
Oh, my old stomping grounds.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.
Well, what can I do
for you gentlemen?
- I'm just an escort today.
- Okay.
Detective Hayes and I,
we're following up
a detail from this cold case
that popped back up recently.
Uh-huh.
You mind if we talk in private?
The consultation room is free.
- Yeah, of course.
Follow me.
- All right.
Gentlemen.
Cold case?
Yeah, from a homicide
from their town.
And they came all the way
up here to talk to Crockett?
What's going on?
- I don't know.
They weren't willing to share.

Hey.
Hey.
I haven't seen you around
the last few days.
I've been doing ride-alongs
with the medics.
Nice of you to help them out.
Um...
I got the last of my stuff
out of your apartment, so...
Here.
[solemn music]
♪
I know you'll be happy
to move back in.
Thanks.
I should go.
Sexton, I need a nurse.
Trent Sutton,
25-year-old male, GCS 12.
Vitals stable.
Semi-rousable on 4 liters, O2.
Found collapsed
in the DePaul Library.
Looks like he suffered
a penetrating injury
to the chest.
- Okay, on my count.
One, two, three.
Is that a needle?
Let's get an X-ray,
AP, and lateral.
Hey, Trent.
I'm Dr. Lanik.
You're okay.
I'm gonna remove this needle,
Trent, but I gotta
take a picture first
to make sure we're not
flying blind.
- No, no!
Don't take it out!
- Restraints!
- [grunts]
Get off of me!
- Let's get that X-ray already.
He pushed it deeper.
I can't take it
if he won't stay still.
- Get off of me!
- Push two of Versed.

♪
[grunts]
- In.
- [panting]
- Look who it is.
Anna Charles.
- Hi, Maggie.
- Mm.
Dad dragged you into work today?
- I did no such thing.
- Oh, no.
I... I like spending time
with my dad.
I wanted to come.
Anna wants
to volunteer, actually.
- Oh, really?
No school today?
Not really.
I mean, my class went on a
field trip to a science museum,
but I figured I'd learn
more about science here.
I don't know about that,
but maybe Deandra
over in pediatrics
can use some help.
Just so you know,
this one right here,
her middle name... "Pop Quiz."
Mm-hmm.
- Maggie "Pop Quiz" Lockwood.
I'm just saying.
- That's me.
- Okay.
- Come on.
Let's get you a vest.
[laughs]
- Hey, Dan.
You got a sec?
What you got?
Our friend here's insides.
Those are sewing needles.
Four in all, which he seems
to have put there himself.
I was able to remove this one,
which was only
partially submerged,
but that one there?
He managed to get all the way
into his heart.
I'm gonna do a cardio workup,
but after that, he's all yours.
[hissing]
Does it hurt when I touch it?
Ah, more than I'd like to admit.
Sorry, man.
When did you first
notice the rash?
- About a week ago.
I was hoping it would go away.
Well, it's good you're here now.
You have cellulitis.
Bacterial infection.
I want to get you started
on an antibiotic.
Roger, are you allergic
to penicillin?
Not that I know of.
[knocks]
Looks like Mr. LaRusso was
here about three years back.
And you were his attending.
- I...
I thought he looked familiar.
Well, I apologize
for not recognizing you.
It's all right.
I'm sure you see
a lot of patients.
Yeah.
Okay, so I see here
you had a prior infection.
Uh-huh.
And we treated it
with cefazolin last time.
- I don't remember.
My mind's a sieve.
That's all right.
I'm worried this rash
is the same bacteria.
I want to make sure
we stay ahead of it.
- Doris, set him on an IV.
- Mm-hmm.
And, you know,
at least we know we had success
with that drug already.
[stammers] What's that for?
It's just to monitor the rash.
I wanna make sure
it shrinks down some
before we discharge you.
Now, your emergency contact...
has your wife listed.
Do you want us to call her
and tell her we'll be keeping
you here for a few more hours?
- No, don't worry about that.
I'll give her a call.
All right then.
- Something wrong?
- What's going on?
The chest tube should've
drained more blood.
Yeah, it's been a few days
since he's been hurt.
There's a chance the hemothorax
is mostly clot.
Let's get him up
for a non-contrast chest CT.
I should've taken him in
to see Dr. Moody earlier.
No, you didn't
do anything wrong.
Billy, you mind if we speak
with your mom outside?
- Okay, thanks, bud.
- I'll be back.
So if the CT shows me
what I think it is,
I'm recommending surgery.
- Oh, God.
- No, I know that sounds scary.
But the procedure,
a video-assisted thoracoscopy,
is minimally invasive.
We use a scope
to clean out his chest.
When Billy was a baby,
he had to go on ECMO.
After all the transfusions,
he developed antibodies
in his blood,
I guess to help
his immune system.
Yeah, Moody told me.
But I think we should be able
to find compatible blood.
Yeah, I'll have
the blood banks start sourcing
antibody-matched blood.
Billy's gonna get
the best care possible.
- And nothing to eat or drink.
- Okay.
- All right.
- Thank you.
I'll schedule him in in a bit.
Sure.
- Hey, Crockett.
- Yeah?
What was all that
with the detectives?
They're investigating
a murder from seven years back.
Well, what'd they want with you?
I get the impression
they think I'm a suspect.
Why would they think that?
'Cause they claim to have
gotten my DNA at the scene.
[tense music]
♪
.
So... so let's talk
about these needles.
Can you tell me about
the first time this happened?
- I'm really embarrassed.
- Trent, don't be.
If you knew how many instances
of self-harm
I saw at this hospital...
- Oh, no.
I wasn't trying to hurt myself.
I was trying
to make myself feel better.
Okay.
Yeah, I'm under a ton
of pressure right now.
I have to defend
my dissertation next month,
and it's been messing me up.
My heart races, I get nervous.
There's this pre...
There's this pressure in my
chest that I can't get rid of.
And the needles,
they alleviate that pressure.
I know it sounds insane, but
it's the only thing that helps.
I'm telling you,
there's something wrong
with my heart.
Look,
I absolutely believe that
it feels that way to you,
but the EKG says otherwise.
Trent's a PhD candidate
at DePaul.
And recently his anxiety
is, you know,
kicking up this pretty
bizarre compulsion.
- Like OCD?
- Well, I mean, kind of.
But instead of washing
his hands incessantly,
he's sticking needles
in his chest.
- You get a look at his scans?
- Yes.
This needle appears
to be floating free
in his right ventricle.
At the moment,
it's not doing any damage,
but if it were to move...
It's gonna get spit out
into his lungs.
Could become a huge mess.
Most likely
a pulmonary embolism.
So, can I schedule him today?
I have reservations.
Is the patient suicidal?
Hm, I mean, not consciously,
but I can't argue
that the behavior
isn't life-threatening.
Ah, so then he may be inclined
to reinsert the needles
even if we do pull them out.
How long will it take for you
to assess his compulsion?
Getting to the root
of his anxiety,
remapping his coping skills...
I mean, that's gonna
take some time.
But we'll get right
into it post-op.
Hm, fair enough.
I will proceed
with removing the needles,
but you'll have
to get his consent.
I'll work on that.
Hey, sweetie.
I got kicked off the peds floor.
What?
Deandra said that
she wouldn't get off her phone.
I thought you wanted to be here.
I do.
I just didn't think
everyone would be so uptight.
Well, do I need
to confiscate that thing?
What... no.
Well, put it in your pocket
and keep it there.
You know what?
Leah in the waiting room
needs some help.
Ideally something
that requires two thumbs.
- Mm-hmm.
She'll keep her busy.
Okay.
- Hi.
I'm Dr. Halstead.
Can you tell me your name?
Yes, I can.
Oh, this is a test.
Right, then.
My name's Christian.
Pleased to make
your acquaintance.
Pretty nasty infection
there, Christian.
Is that why you came in today?
Christian?
Hey.
- You with me?
- Mm-hmm, all the way.
- Your vein's rock hard.
When did you last shoot up?
Uh...
oh...
what day is today?
- Okay.
Let's consent him for an I&D.
Sorry that took so long.
They made me park out
in the satellite lot.
Well, that's all right.
I'll just be a few minutes.
There you are, love.
I was afraid you'd abandoned me.
[somber music]
♪
You two know each other?
Christian's an old friend.
- Old friends, the two of us...
- Okay, not here.
- Okay.
- Will, can we talk?
I'll get those off you later.
- I know this looks strange.
- Well...
- We used to date.
About a year ago.
Another part of my past
I'm trying to put behind me.
But I thought you were going
to the meeting.
- Yeah, I was.
I did.
And things were just winding up
when I got this call
from Christian.
When I saw how bad his arm was,
I brought him in straight away.
You went to his house?
- You see the state he's in.
He's in no condition to drive.
Mm-hmm.
I guess I might feel a little
guilty for getting clean.
I understand.
- Are we good?
- Absolutely.
Okay.
- Okay.
- Mm.
Oh, hey.
You forgot this this morning.
[sighs] Thank you.
- I'll see you later?
- Yeah.
Do you have any updates
for Ms. Harris?
Yeah.
Tell her that Billy did great
with the anesthesia
and that we're progressing.
Great.
The timing may be poor,
Ms. Goodwin,
but this is a police matter.
Dr. Marcel will not
be disturbed
while he's
in the operating room.
The judge just gave us
a warrant for his arrest.
Detective, I am not
interrupting a surgery
on an 11-year-old child
for any reason.
You can take up your concerns
with Dr. Marcel
when the operation is over.
Well, we got no place to be.
Make yourself at home.

Hey!
Where is he?
What happened?

What have you heard?
I really shouldn't be
telling you this...
But?
The detectives in New Orleans
have been sitting on DNA
evidence for a long time.
Well, why'd they wait
until now to come get Crockett?
Forensics pulled samples
from you and Crockett
when you two got kidnapped.
Right, to cross-match it
with the fugitive's DNA.
Those samples got put
into a national database.
Crockett is a positive match
for a cold case murder
in Louisiana.
[stammers] There's no way.
Listen, I'm just telling you
what I heard.
And DNA is hard to refute.
I'll let you know
if I hear anything else.
Thank you.
See, here's where we're at.
We gotta get these needles
out of your chest,
especially the one
that's hanging around
in your right ventricle.
And we're gonna do that tonight.
- Surgery tonight?
- Yeah.
And then when you're recovering,
I think it'd be
a really good idea
if we would start to address...
- How long will I be here?
- In the hospital?
I'd say probably
at least three days, and then...
That doesn't work.
I only have a couple of weeks
until I defend my dissertation,
and if I fail,
the last five years
will have been a complete
waste of my life.
I need to get out of here.
Okay, but you need
to understand we can't let you
just walk out of here
with a needle in your heart.

Trent, look at me.
Look at me, look at me!

Of course.
- Billy's in surgery right now.
- I know.
His mother called me.
She's concerned
about his operation.
She said Dr. Marcel's
in some sort of trouble?
Please.
It can't be true.
Crockett would
never hurt anyone.
I know.
Well, if the murder
took place seven years ago,
then that means that
you and Crockett
would have been
at medical school at that time.
- Did you know him well?
- Yeah.
And Crockett was going
through a lot back then,
but no way was
he killing people.
What do you mean?
I shouldn't have said anything.
It's not my story to tell.
Please.

Is Ethan okay?
- No idea.
We can't get eyes on him.
And the offender won't answer
the phone inside the store.
- Do you have Choi's cell?
- Yeah.
Good.
You know, for a guy
who's supposedly taking
his TEMS training,
Choi violated
about 100 different protocols
when he ran in there.
I heard there was a kid
in there with a gunshot wound.
We're trying to hack
into the security camera now.
But once we get eyes in there,
we're going.

Wow.
Why is Trent Sutton
still down here?
I thought you were
sending him up to the OR.
I want to, but you know,
he won't consent to surgery.
You know what's bizarre?
He claims to get this pain
in his chest, right?
That I was pretty much
convinced was psychosomatic,
but then after this
last episode, he fainted.
That leads me to believe that,
I don't know, maybe there is
some kind of underlying
physical condition there.
Well, let me know
how it progresses
because I got a waiting room
full of patients, and...
oh, and now I got
a ambos coming in.
I'd like to free up the room.
- Give that to me now.
- What?
- Why?
- Why?
Because clearly it's interfering
with your ability
to do your work.
I'm just texting my friends.
Well, if that's
so important to you,
let's get you over
to the science museum
so you can do it in person.
- No, I... I can't.

Dr. Halstead.
Dr. Halstead, this is Roger
LaRusso and his wife, Yvette.
Your nurse called me
on the phone.
Yeah, I apologize.
There's been a misunderstanding.
We had a case
of mistaken identity,
but you didn't need to come in.
- We came to see Brian.
He's a friend of mine.
I'm sorry,
but Brian must have stolen
your insurance card.
He presented it when he came in.
- No, I gave it to him.
- Roger.
His insurance lapsed
and he needed to see a doctor.
Because I was going
off of your chart,
I treated his skin infection
with cephalosporin,
which you're not allergic to.
- But Brian is?
- Extremely!
Is he gonna be okay?
The burn surgeons are
hopeful we caught it in time,
but there's gonna be
permanent scarring.
Oh, my God.
Do you know
how reckless this was?
- I'm sorry.
I didn't know what else to do.
He needed my help.
Well, your help
could've killed him today.
You can't just keep me here.
I don't understand
why we are doing this again.
Versed wouldn't have had
an effect on his EKG.
No, but it would
affect his anxiety.
I mean, look at his U wave
without it.
- He's tachycardic.
- What is that?
It means
your heart rate's elevated
because you're anxious.
And it also appears there's
an extra electrical pathway...
Most likely
Wolff Parkinson-White syndrome.
Wait, what is that?
It's actually
a congenital defect
that usually becomes
symptomatic around your age.
And it can be intermittent,
sometimes only appearing
during exercise.
Or periods
of stress and anxiety.
I can correct this
when I remove the needles.
You... you can make this
all go away?
Yeah, well,
what are we waiting for?
I'll assemble my team.
So I'm out of here, when?
You know, we have plenty
of time to talk about that.
Yeah, but you just said that
everything was gonna be fixed.
Look, what we've done
is we figured out
where that terrible pressure
is coming from.
Now we have to address
why you were responding to it
the way you were.
I was just relieving
the pressure in my chest.
- [stammers]
- Trent.
Sticking needles
in your chest, physiologically,
had absolutely nothing to do
with relieving that pain.
You're a human being, okay?
You're gonna have stressors
in your life.
We just gotta figure out a way
for you to deal
with that anxiety in a way
that's less self-destructive.
It'll take a little time.

Crockett Marcel,

of Georgine Burrows.

Poulson...
Wait, you're making a mistake.
You've got the wrong guy.
- Ma'am, it's police business.
- Just a minute of your time.
You said you found
Dr. Marcel's DNA
at a murder scene
seven years ago.
His medical records show
that he donated bone marrow,
and he donated it
before the murder occurred.
So?
Sometimes recipients
of bone marrow transplants
inherit their donor's DNA.
Their blood cells become
genetically identical
to their donor's.
It's rare, but it's real.
And we're not disputing
your evidence, detectives.
We're only asking you
to consider
looking at the recipient
of Dr. Marcel's bone marrow.
And if his recipient
does have his DNA,
then your murderer
is still out there.

Trent's a PhD candidate
at DePaul.
And recently his anxiety
is, you know,
kicking up this pretty
bizarre compulsion.
- Like OCD?
- Well, I mean, kind of.
But instead of washing
his hands incessantly,
he's sticking needles
in his chest.
- You get a look at his scans?
- Yes.
This needle appears
to be floating free
in his right ventricle.
At the moment,
it's not doing any damage,
but if it were to move...
It's gonna get spit out
into his lungs.
Could become a huge mess.
Most likely
a pulmonary embolism.
So, can I schedule him today?
I have reservations.
Is the patient suicidal?
Hm, I mean, not consciously,
but I can't argue
that the behavior
isn't life-threatening.
Ah, so then he may be inclined
to reinsert the needles
even if we do pull them out.
How long will it take for you
to assess his compulsion?
Getting to the root
of his anxiety,
remapping his coping skills...
I mean, that's gonna
take some time.

into it post-op.

I'll let you know
if I hear anything else.
Thank you.
See, here's where we're at.
We gotta get these needles
out of your chest,
especially the one
that's hanging around
in your right ventricle.
And we're gonna do that tonight.
- Surgery tonight?
- Yeah.
And then when you're recovering,
I think it'd be
a really good idea
if we would start to address...
- How long will I be here?
- In the hospital?
I'd say probably
at least three days, and then...
That doesn't work.
I only have a couple of weeks
until I defend my dissertation,
and if I fail,
the last five years
will have been a complete
waste of my life.
I need to get out of here.
Okay, but you need
to understand we can't let you
just walk out of here
with a needle in your heart.
[stammering]
Trent, look at me.
Look at me, look at me!
Trent, Trent, Trent, Trent.
Look at me.
Take a deep breath
into the nose...
- No you don't understand.
You're ruining my life!
- Slow down.
Slow your breathing down.
Oh, it's racing.
It feels like it's
beating out of my chest.
- I'm holding your hand.
Can you feel my hand?
Can you feel my hand?
[beeping]
Code Blue!
A respiratory arrest.
Drop his head and bag him.
[gasps, coughs]
[wheezes]
What happened?
- Oh, Dr. Manning.
There you are.
I'm Dr. Julian Moody,
Billy Harris's pediatrician.
Of course.
- Billy's in surgery right now.
- I know.
His mother called me.
She's concerned
about his operation.
She said Dr. Marcel's
in some sort of trouble?
Please.
It can't be true.
Crockett would
never hurt anyone.
I know.
Well, if the murder
took place seven years ago,
then that means that
you and Crockett
would have been
at medical school at that time.
- Did you know him well?
- Yeah.
And Crockett was going
through a lot back then,
but no way was
he killing people.
What do you mean?
I shouldn't have said anything.
It's not my story to tell.
Please.
I just want to help him.
His baby...
Harper,
she died from leukemia.
Not long after
her first birthday.
Dr. Halstead.
His rash is all over
and parts are sloughing.
What the hell is going on?
Stop the cefazolin now.
125 milligrams solumedrol
and a Bolus liter of saline.
- Doris, call his wife.
- Why is this happening?
Well, it seems like you're
having an allergic reaction
to the medication.
[screams] My skin's burning!
- Okay.
Two milligrams of morphine.
Tell the burn center
we're coming up.
Okay, I have Roger's wife
on the phone.
- Okay.
Is she coming in?
She said she's with
her husband, Roger, right now.
At home.
So who's this?
- Excuse me.
Excuse me, please.
This is the nurse
who knows Dr. Choi.
- April Sexton.
Is Ethan okay?
- No idea.
We can't get eyes on him.
And the offender won't answer
the phone inside the store.
- Do you have Choi's cell?
- Yeah.
Good.
You know, for a guy
who's supposedly taking
his TEMS training,
Choi violated
about 100 different protocols
when he ran in there.
I heard there was a kid
in there with a gunshot wound.
We're trying to hack
into the security camera now.
But once we get eyes in there,
we're going.

[phone ringing]
Hey, it's probably
the SWAT outside.
You should talk to them.
It's the only way
you're getting out.
- Shut up!
I... I need a plan.
Hey... hey, how long does it take
to drive to the border?
- Canada?
Four or five hours.
But listen, man,
I need to help this kid here...
- Look, just shut up!
Just shut up!
Hello?
Who is this?
Shut up and listen to me, okay?
It's my turn to talk.
I'm gonna make
the demands, okay?
Okay, look...
you trying to kill me?!
- Wait, wait, wait!
It's for the kid!
- It's for the kid!
- Drop it!
I can't!
All right?
He can barely breathe.
He's got a collapsed lung.
I need to make a hole
in his chest
to release the air
that's trapped inside.
Keep the gun pointed at me.
Now I'm gonna take this knife
over to the boy now, all right?
[suspenseful music]
♪
[boy wheezing]
I'm gonna make a small incision
in his chest.
[whimpering]
I'm gonna throw the knife
away where I can't reach it.
Wow.
Why is Trent Sutton
still down here?
I thought you were
sending him up to the OR.
I want to, but you know,
he won't consent to surgery.
You know what's bizarre?
He claims to get this pain
in his chest, right?
That I was pretty much
convinced was psychosomatic,
but then after this
last episode, he fainted.
That leads me to believe that,
I don't know, maybe there is
some kind of underlying
physical condition there.
Well, let me know
how it progresses
because I got a waiting room
full of patients, and...
oh, and now I got
a ambos coming in.
I'd like to free up the room.
- Give that to me now.
- What?
- Why?
- Why?
Because clearly it's interfering
with your ability
to do your work.
I'm just texting my friends.
Well, if that's
so important to you,
let's get you over
to the science museum
so you can do it in person.
- No, I... I can't.
- Why not?
- Because.
- Because why?
Dad, if you make me go
on that field trip, I'll die.
Honey, what's going on?

He laughed at me.
- Who?
Who laughed at you?
Pete Slater.
When I asked him if he'd like

And everyone saw.
And they laughed too.

13-year-old girls,

Wired differently indeed.
Hey, do me a favor.
Page Dr. Latham for me.
On it.
Dr. Halstead.
Dr. Halstead, this is Roger
LaRusso and his wife, Yvette.
Your nurse called me
on the phone.
Yeah, I apologize.
There's been a misunderstanding.
We had a case
of mistaken identity,
but you didn't need to come in.
- We came to see Brian.
He's a friend of mine.
I'm sorry,
but Brian must have stolen
your insurance card.
He presented it when he came in.
- No, I gave it to him.
- Roger.
His insurance lapsed
and he needed to see a doctor.
Because I was going
off of your chart,
I treated his skin infection
with cephalosporin,
which you're not allergic to.
- But Brian is?
- Extremely!
Is he gonna be okay?
The burn surgeons are
hopeful we caught it in time,
but there's gonna be
permanent scarring.
Oh, my God.
Do you know
how reckless this was?
- I'm sorry.
I didn't know what else to do.
He needed my help.
Well, your help
could've killed him today.
You can't just keep me here.
I don't understand
why we are doing this again.
Versed wouldn't have had
an effect on his EKG.
No, but it would
affect his anxiety.
I mean, look at his U wave
without it.
- He's tachycardic.
- What is that?
It means
your heart rate's elevated
because you're anxious.
And it also appears there's
an extra electrical pathway...
Most likely
Wolff Parkinson-White syndrome.
Wait, what is that?
It's actually
a congenital defect
that usually becomes
symptomatic around your age.
And it can be intermittent,
sometimes only appearing
during exercise.
Or periods
of stress and anxiety.
I can correct this
when I remove the needles.
You... you can make this
all go away?
Yeah, well,
what are we waiting for?
I'll assemble my team.
So I'm out of here, when?
You know, we have plenty
of time to talk about that.
Yeah, but you just said that
everything was gonna be fixed.
Look, what we've done
is we figured out
where that terrible pressure
is coming from.
Now we have to address
why you were responding to it
the way you were.
I was just relieving
the pressure in my chest.
- [stammers]
- Trent.
Sticking needles
in your chest, physiologically,
had absolutely nothing to do
with relieving that pain.
You're a human being, okay?
You're gonna have stressors
in your life.
We just gotta figure out a way
for you to deal
with that anxiety in a way
that's less self-destructive.
It'll take a little time.
"DNA evidence can lead

He's in surgery now.
- I'll run it upstairs.
- Thank you.
It's a good thing

Will had a patient today
who got the wrong medicine.
Ooh, was that a mess.
Doris, wait.
It's hard to match

You know what?
I'll take the blood up myself.
Get this to Dr. Marcel.
- Right away.
- Thank you.
- Dr. Marcel?
- Yeah?
I know this is
gonna sound crazy,
but did you donate bone marrow
in the past?
Uh, can we talk when I'm done?
No, we can't.
- Yeah, I did.
A long time ago.
I suppose it's in
my medical records somewhere.
- Okay.
Thanks.
[overlapping chatter]
- No.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I... I need a car now!
Forget it.
I'm done talking.
I knew... I knew they were
gonna mess with me.

Keep negotiating...
- For three hours to get a car?
They're playing games.
Hey, I know
how these guys think.
When you say
you're done talking,
that's when they force
their way in.
Man, I've screwed up
so many times in my life.
It's like...
it's like I never do
the right thing.
I know how that feels.
What do you mean?
I blew it
with someone I care about.
Made some big mistakes.
Wish I could do it over.
Yeah.
Me too.
If you give yourself up now,
we both get a chance
to do the right thing.
How is he?
He needs more medical
attention than I can give him,
so call them back.
Okay.
I'll turn myself in.

- Are you done?
- What's going on, fellas?
Crockett Marcel,
you are under arrest
for the murder
of Georgine Burrows.
- What, are you serious?
Poulson...
Wait, you're making a mistake.
You've got the wrong guy.
- Ma'am, it's police business.
- Just a minute of your time.
You said you found
Dr. Marcel's DNA
at a murder scene
seven years ago.
His medical records show
that he donated bone marrow,
and he donated it
before the murder occurred.
So?
Sometimes recipients
of bone marrow transplants
inherit their donor's DNA.
Their blood cells become
genetically identical
to their donor's.
It's rare, but it's real.
And we're not disputing
your evidence, detectives.
We're only asking you
to consider
looking at the recipient
of Dr. Marcel's bone marrow.
And if his recipient
does have his DNA,
then your murderer
is still out there.
Excuse me.
[knocks]
- How are you doing, hon?
- Do you care?
Actually, I think I might be
coming down with something.
I think maybe you should
stay home from school.
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
You know,
when I was in eighth grade,
I faked a note
to get out of gym class
and said I had drop foot.
I was just embarrassed...
'cause I was just slow.
You know, I wasn't athletic.
I ended up having to fake
a limp for the entire year.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
I mean, look at me.
A guy like me probably
should've gone
to gym class, right?
Yeah, we all have our ways
of dealing with things.
And some work.
Others, like running away,
I mean, they just...
They just don't.
You're saying I need
to go back to school.
It just hurts.
You know.
Like, when does it stop?
What do you mean?
When does...
When does life stop hurting?
Yeah, I guess.
Life's always gonna have
its ups and downs, you know?
But in my experience,
we do get better
at dealing with them.
