- Dr. Connor Rhodes: Everything all right?
- Dr. Will Halstead: Not really. That was my brother. He's with my dad. The man's stubborn beyond all belief. He's had mitral valve regurge for, like, the last ten years.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: Man, faulty valves are tricky.
- Dr. Will Halstead: Yeah, and I don't... I don't like what Jay's describing. I gotta get to the L station.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: Why doesn't your brother bring him in?
- Dr. Will Halstead: Dad hates doctors. Did I mention he's stubborn?
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Elliot is very troubled. The poor kid is just consumed with sexual thoughts.
- Dr. Ethan Choi: Aren't most kids his age?
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Yeah, but he's been raised to believe that sex is wrong unless it's for procreation. And repressing his natural urges is triggering aggressive impulses, which he's struggling to control.
- Dr. Ethan Choi: Aggressive?
- Dr. Daniel Charles: He fetishizes blondes. Stalks them.
- Dr. Ethan Choi: We're talking about a sexual predator?
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Not a psychopath. I mean, he has a conscience. I mean, I think he could definitely benefit from therapy, but I'm not ruling out those meds.
- Dr. Ethan Choi: Chemical castration, really?
- Dr. Daniel Charles: It's temporary, Ethan. Raping somebody isn't.
- Dr. Will Halstead: Hey, pop.
- Pat Halstead: What are you doing here?
- Jay Halstead: I called him.
- Pat Halstead: Wasted trip. I don't need you.
- Jay Halstead: Are you kidding me? You missed two days of work, and you never miss work.
- Dr. Will Halstead: Pop, this is Connor Rhodes. He's another doc at Med.
- Pat Halstead: Told you I don't need this.
- Dr. Will Halstead: Come on, you can barely talk.
- Pat Halstead: I'm gonna take medical advice from someone who wet the bed until he was nine?
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: Mr. Halstead, I'm seeing some things that tell me that your heart isn't working very well. Your fingertips are purple, you're having a hard time breathing, and your energy seems, uh... depleted.
- Pat Halstead: Had this heart thing forever. It's... it's never been a problem.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: You mind if I have a listen?
- Pat Halstead: If it'll get you two off my ass.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: [listening to Pat's heart] Apical holosystolic murmur and the lungs are wet.
- Pat Halstead: In English?
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: It means that your heart has been compensating for the faulty valve for a very long time, and now it can't keep up, so fluid is backing up into your lungs.
- Dr. Will Halstead: It literally means you're drowning in your own blood. We need to get you to the hospital.
- Stan Gallagher: So a kid got beat up. What does he need a psychiatrist for?
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Well, Elliot was caught peeping on girls in the shower at school.
- Debbie Gallagher: Oh, my god.
- Stan Gallagher: Wait 'till I get him home.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: But much more troubling are some violent impulses that, so far, he hasn't acted upon.
- Dr. Ethan Choi: And there is something we can do.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Elliot wants us to give him a medication that would turn off his testosterone. This would significantly decrease his sex drive and make it much easier for him to control these impulses, but we do need your permission to do it.
- Stan Gallagher: "Turn off his testosterone"? What exactly are you talking about?
- Dr. Daniel Charles: The medical term is chemical castration.
- Debbie Gallagher: What?
- Dr. Daniel Charles: It's completely reversible. The idea would be to combine it with traditional therapy with the hope of ultimately weaning him off the medication.
- Stan Gallagher: No. No way.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Elliot could very well be on the verge of acting out on some very disturbing impulses, including rape.
- Debbie Gallagher: He would never do anything like that.
- Stan Gallagher: You people are sick.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Again, this was your son's idea.
- Dr. Ethan Choi: Elliot is torn up about this. He's scared he may not be able to stop himself.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: Where's your dad?
- Dr. Will Halstead: The restroom.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: He shouldn't be up after his cath. He couldn't use a bedpan?
- Dr. Will Halstead: Practically threw it at my head.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: Now, you know I should be cracking his chest, right? So why did you give in?
- Dr. Will Halstead: Hey, you're the one who gave him the non-surgical option.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: No, I laid out his choices, Will. I pushed for the surgery.
- Dr. Will Halstead: Not hard enough.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: You're his son. You should be the one trying to convince him.
- Dr. Will Halstead: He won't listen to me. My dad considers me something of a disappointment. Oh, yeah, he didn't even want me to go to college. Says a real man goes right to work. He doesn't give a damn what I have to say.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: So why don't you get Jay to try to talk to him?
- Dr. Will Halstead: It won't help. No, Jay and him have their own history.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: I'm worried about Robin. She's... she's not acting like herself.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Huh.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: She is, uh, she's convinced that there's rats in my condo, but I haven't seen them or heard them, and no exterminator can find them.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Rats can be pretty clever.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: Not that clever.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: Don't worry, Mr. Halstead. We're gonna get that mitral valve fixed.
- Pat Halstead: Damn. The kid was right. Not so much a kid anymore, is he?
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: No.
- Pat Halstead: Did you know he put himself through college? I told him... told him it was a waste of time and damned if I was gonna pay for it.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: Well, I'm sure you're very proud of him.
- Pat Halstead: That doesn't even begin to say it. He made something of his life. He's a better man than I am.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: I don't think he feels that way, sir. And I'm sure that he wouldn't want you to, either.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: I gotta say, man, what you guys have, it's pretty great.
- Dr. Will Halstead: Are you serious? All we do is fight.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: Yeah, well, me and my dad, we barely even talk.
- Dr. Will Halstead: That doesn't sound too bad to me.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: Take my word for it, Will. You got a good thing going.
