Code Black

Previously on "Code Black"...

Two months' suspended vacation with pay.

This is absurd.

- Grace. - Neal.

Christa: So, who's Grace?

She's a doctor who used to work here.

I'm asking who she is to you.

I talked to harbert about the nurses.

And?

It's just not doable right now.

- You can't tell anyone. - Don't pull that knife!

You and I take this to our graves.

Help me.

- What's this? - Adderall.

It'll focus you in.

Woman: Welcome to tonight's presidential primary debate

between candidates Senator Darren Stringer

and Governor Hank Wesley.

The first question goes to Senator Stringer.

Senator, you've been very critical

of the Governor's military service.

Hey, uh, I can't really, um... I can't really talk right now,

but, um, I'm about to run out

of those vitamins that you gave me.

So, did you guys get to meet the candidates?

Stringer seems like a real tool.

You say you stood in the line of fire.

Angus: No. They just breezed right by us.

We are out here on the loading dock.

Worst job ever.

So, are you going to give me those vitamins or what?

Heather: Vitamins? Dude, I gave you like 50 three weeks ago.

Okay, now I need like 50 more.

I can't keep using Campbell's prescription pad.

Look, I can get you like 10 more, but that's it.

You really got to ease up on the stuff.

Who are you talking to?

How much longer we have to be at this debate?

Chill, dude.

Only a few more hours on standby.

I am chill.

You don't look it.

65 degrees out here, and you're sweating.

What are you, a weatherman?

Pupils are dilated.

I bet you if I checked your heart rate, you'd be over 100.

Why don't you save your diagnosing for the hospital?

Fine. Plain English, you're acting like a dick.

Hmm. And you have B.O.

What are you popping... Moda, Rids, Adderall?

That's the thing about drug addicts...

They see kindred spirits where they don't exist.

Your campaign has covered up your military record

since day one.

He's blackmailing us.

He said this would happen,

and Jesse always does what he says.

Isn't he supposed to be your friend?

He is my friend.

Treat him with respect. He's earned it.

Trust me, okay?

Jesse.

How do we stop the strike before it starts?

You know what you need to do.

Pay increase, guaranteed overtime,

more nurses.

When the board meets in two months, I will...

Two months?

That's five of us walking out tonight.

Tomorrow, it'll be six.

I don't negotiate like this,

so let me tell you how this is gonna go.

No, no, no.

I'm gonna tell you how this is gonna go.

I'm not stepping one foot into Trauma One

- unless you start... - Okay.

Let's all just calm down.

Mario: I'm not trying to hassle you. I'm just trying to be a friend.

If you were actually my friend, you'd drop it, okay? Just...

Oh, my God.

Was that an explosion?

- What? - Wow.

All right, listen up.

Gonna have incoming. Nurses on me. Go!

Sir, are you okay? Are you okay?

I'm okay. I'm okay, I'm okay.

Hey, what's going on?

Explosion inside. The ceiling collapsed.

We got to get inside.

I've got Senator Stringer's wife and daughter right behind me.

You're gonna need a gurney.

I've got Skylark. Flamingo's on my 6:00.

Get her in the car!

Everyone out of the building! Secure the perimeter!

Let's go. Get her out of here. Come on.

- Skylark in the lead vehicle. - Move, move, move, move!

Get Mrs. Stringer in the ambulance now!

It's Darren. Let's move it out!

I will be on the bus to Flamingo.

Secure the outer perimeter!

I got to get an airway.

Let's go. Move, move.

- Who are they?! - Countersniper units.

Snipers?!

Are you expecting another attack?!

Man: We don't know what to expect.

Senator Darren Stringer, pulse 140, pressure 80/60,

- blast wounds to the chest and abdomen. - Easy, now.

Senator, do you know what day it is?

Anne, Caroline... What happened to them?

Center Stage, please.

- Tube, please. - Got it. I'll bag him up.

Excuse me.

These patients need to be moved out of the way

for the candidates.

He's not ready to be moved.

Neal: I got the back. Wait.

Let's line him up, start fluids running, please.

I got 18-gauge, and I'm about to run another one.

Sats down to 60 and reduced breath sounds on the left.

- He's gonna need a... - Chest tube. I'm on it.

Move.

Dr. Rorish, I need Senator Stringer moved

to a secure area.

- It's not gonna happen. - I'm not asking.

None of these patients are moving anywhere

until they've been stabilized.

Got it?

Dr. Harbert, we briefed you.

I'm not in charge here.

If Dr. Rorish says they stay, they stay.

Please, I just want to know if my family's all right.

Man: Copy, Flamingo is on board.

We're inbound to Angels Base.

How far out are we?

There's no pulse. Starting compressions.

What the hell are you doing? Angus, stop.

Angus, stop! What the hell are you doing?!

- What did he do? - Nothing.

What do you mean Skylark is down?

You really think she needs CPR?

She has an H-VAD.

Is she responding to your commands?

She has a ventricular pump.

Yes! She's not in cardiac arrest.

Did you not read the secret service brief?

Medical kit? I repeat, do you need a medical kit?

People with H-VADs never have a pulse.

I know.

Copy. Five by five, Nema, Charlie.

Stringer's daughter is in the follow vehicle.

She's losing consciousness and coughing up blood.

Hey! Pull the rig over!

Copy. We're pulling over now.

One of us has to get in that car.

I'll go.

Man on radio: All vehicles, hold transit.

Angus. Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Commence transit.

Ms. Stringer? Ms. Stringer, can you hear me?

She was fine a minute ago,

and then she just collapsed and started coughing up blood.

There's something going on down here.

Shrapnel to the chest.

How much further?

Ventricular-assist device.

Blunt trauma to the head and chest.

Heart rate's showing 95.

Mrs. Stringer, I'm Dr. Guthrie.

Can you open your eyes for me, please?

Angus: Over here. Malaya, over here!

Over here.

26-year-old female. 1...2...3!

Shrapnel in her chest. Coughing up blood.

Malaya, it's the senator's daughter.

Woman: Before the cameras went out, a portion of the ceiling

can be seen falling on Governor Wesley

and secret service protection.

Senator Stringer and his family

were brought to Angels Memorial Hospital.

Free fluids. He's bleeding internally.

Positive for a liver laceration.

Got to get him upstairs.

You're moving him?

Jesse, take him to C.T.,

front of the line, and then page I.R.

Follow him.

Senator Stringer, we need to bring you upstairs now.

What about my family?

They're coming in right now. We've got them.

All right, heads up, heads up.

This is Anne Stringer, the senator's wife.
