Quotes 

• Dr. Natalie Manning : [performing an ultrasound on a patient]  No kidney stones. Let's look at the bladder.

  [noticing something unusual] 

  Dr. Natalie Manning : How long did you say she was in a vegetative state for?

  Maggie Lockwood : Five years.

  Dr. Natalie Manning : We need to call the police. This woman is pregnant.

• 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.

• Dr. Natalie Manning : I am so sorry for what happened to your daughter.

  Angela Azen : How could someone do this to her?

  Dave Azen : Are you gonna catch this monster?

  Erin Lindsay : Yes. We've already opened an investigation, and finding whoever did this is a top priority for us.

  Dr. Natalie Manning : I just want you to know we are gonna give your daughter the best possible care.

• Dr. Natalie Manning : So, Teresa is approximately ten weeks along in her pregnancy.

  Angela Azen : Oh, god.

  Sharon Goodwin : Fortunately, termination will be a painless procedure.

  Angela Azen : Wait. Termination? We don't want that.

  Dave Azen : We want to keep the baby.

  Dr. Natalie Manning : I'm sorry. I thought, given the circumstances...

  Sharon Goodwin : Mr. and Mrs. Azen, nothing has to be decided today.

  Angela Azen : No, we've made up our mind. It is terrible what happened to our daughter, but even if it came from a rape, the baby's still part of Teresa.

  Dave Azen : The only part we have left.

• Sharon Goodwin : In your daughter's condition, I have to tell you, taking this pregnancy to term would be extremely difficult.

  Angela Azen : Why? Her brain has been injured, but her body's healthy.

  Dr. Natalie Manning : No. At five years in a persistent vegetative state, it's not. This is a high risk situation for pulmonary embolism, sepsis, colonic obstruction, respiratory failure.

  Dave Azen : But those are just risks, right? It could all work out.

  Sharon Goodwin : They are extremely high risks.

  Dr. Natalie Manning : If you have your daughter go through with this pregnancy, there is a chance that she will not survive.

  Angela Azen : She's hardly living as it is. If she dies giving birth, maybe that's a merciful outcome. Sometimes, I've wished for that.

  Sharon Goodwin : There is another issue to consider. Given the abuse your daughter has undergone, do you believe that she would want to keep this pregnancy?

  Sharon Goodwin : In any case, you are Teresa's guardians, and therefore speak on her behalf. Your wishes will be honored.
