The Resident

Previously on The Resident...

I think I need to get back to Minnesota

'cause my MS could be progressing.

Whatever you need, you just say the word.

- They think I'm crazy. - You'll see a psychiatrist.

And we'll move you to a better place,

one that specializes in postpartum depression.

I was hoping for some kind of reprieve,

but the governor didn't budge, so, yes,

we will be closing the ER to trauma.

That's awful.

I mean, can't we make an emergency appeal to the state assembly?

Our funding was always from the governor's discretionary fund,

so we're completely at his mercy.

I believe you and I joined the same club today.

We were too good for 'em.

I don't love how we got here,

but I am so happy that we are here.

I know. Me, too.

" by Jacob Banks playing)

Hey.

Last night was amazing.

It was.

And so are you.

And we should do it again.

- And again. And again. - (LAUGHS)

Feels weird to say it.

But this...

...us... feels so...

Feels right.

- (THUNDER RUMBLING) That was fun.

Who knew there were pros to getting dumped at work?

It was lovely.

You are lovely.

But I have a shift in the ER, so...

Hey, uh, why don't I ride in with you?

Uh, your car's right outside.

Yeah, well, it gives me a perfect excuse

to have to ride back here with you after work then.

- Whoa, tiger. - Ooh.

I know. I promise I won't get clingy.

Neither will I.

I wish you'd been there.

I'm so proud of you for protecting this place.

You know, taking Chastain apart piece by piece, it just,

you know, it felt like the beginning of the end.

And victory for Betz.

Still, at this rate we're on the fast track

to a total shutdown by spring.

Not just the trauma center... the entire hospital is at risk.

There is a parachute somewhere.

We'll find it.

God knows we need all the help we can get.

Which is another reason I'm glad you're home.

We need you back in the OR.

You haven't said much about the clinic.

How was your new treatment?

Oh, the muscle weakening has lessened, so that's a win.

And, um, no tremors lately.

I'm your wife, Randolph.

I know when you're not telling me something.

Oh, I just think I should, uh,

you know, I should take a beat before...

jumping back into surgery.

The treatment. It didn't work.

No, it did, it just...

Just a little less than before.

But we knew from the start

there'd be diminishing returns, so...

Just need to make a new plan.

It's Dr. Feldman. "Turn on the TV."

We currently have field reporters on scene in Midtown.

Heavy rain and winds are said to be the cause

of a devastating helicopter crash at 13th and Piedmont.

13th and Piedmont. That's a couple blocks from Chastain.

Again, we are getting unconfirmed reports

that one of the passengers on board was Governor Mark Betz.

- The governor's condition... - You can't be serious.

If it's that close, he'll be taken to Chastain.

Copter crashed into the café where she was working.

Her vitals?

Stable, GCS 14.

Okay. Mass casualty protocol.

Looks like a concussion and second-degree burns.

Let's get her to Bay Two.

Hey, glad you're here. We need all the help we can get.

Betz was in a helicopter crash.

- The governor? - Yeah.

It's like musical chairs around here.

How many so far?

Three ambo, two walk-ins.

Let's get the next one.

Thea Dwyer... the pilot. Blunt trauma to chest and abdomen.

Prolonged extraction time. Some lacerations.

Okay. Trauma Room 11.

Is he okay? Is the governor okay?

All right, I'll go with her, you get the next?

All right.

She put that bird down in zero visibility.

Somehow avoided a school.

And the governor? Do we know about his condition?

Not sure. He's in the next ambulance.

Should be here any second.

Obvious tenderness and bruising on her abdomen.

- Put me to work. - Another 18-gauge IV.

One of hers just blew.

One immaculate IV, coming right up.

How you feeling, Thea?

Like... I should've done more.

- (SIRENS WAILING) - (ANXIOUS CHATTER)

That's Betz, for sure.

Hey. You guys got this?

- Yeah. - Go.

Listen. You did the best you could in terrible weather.

And you know what? You saved lives in the process.

Wait, wait, that...

This isn't Atlanta General!

Get me out of this place!

We're gonna take good care of you.

Let's get a burn cart.

Governor, you shouldn't be alone.

Is there anyone we can call?

Uh, just my office.

My daughter's at college.

My wife... my ex-wife is in New Zealand.

One, two, three.

Oh, I bet you're loving this.

I most certainly am not.

Well, the sooner I'm out of here, the better.

Rest assured my doctors will give you the very best care.

Oh, come on. Who are you kidding?

It's no secret how you all feel about me.

I'm not about to give you the chance to kill me

and call it complications.

We are professionals with one goal:

caring for all our patients.

But we will do our best to get you transferred

as soon as possible.

We'll try to get him stable enough to move.

Can't happen fast enough.

Look, I don't want any tests... Ow! Ow!

Possible broken clavicle.

EMTs say that he was briefly unconscious at the scene.

Well, we'll have to scan him when we can.

Chastain. It's some kind of a joke.

Look, I-I told them not to bring me here.

Somebody call my office! Or-or bring me a phone!

Hey, hey, hey.

Can we finish assessing your injuries first?

We're gonna get you stable, give you some pain meds.

And then we will talk about that transfer.

Any chest pain?

Just when I breathe in deep.

Sounds like pleuritic pain from the rib fracture.

- Maybe this was an overcall. - No, definitely not.

Needs to be checked out.

Oh, thank God! Thea!

Mom. Dad. I-I'm okay. I'm okay.

What the hell were you doing flying in this weather?

Why would the governor risk your life?

I'm her dad Quentin Dwyer, this is my wife Jane.

What do you know?

Well, actually, Dr. Sullivan is the ER doctor,

and can explain.

Your daughter has sustained some injuries,

but we're still assessing the extent.

I couldn't climb. Must've been that crosswind.

Her heart sounds good, but I'd like a few more tests before...

What kind of tests?

This laceration's gonna need stitches at some point.

What's wrong with her heart?

Likely nothing. We just want to be thorough.

I don't believe this.

You should have never taken that job.

There was a crosswind. I couldn't climb.

She just said that.

Thea, you just said that.

Is he here? The governor?

Because I'd like to give him a piece of my mind.

I just don't like how he treats you.

I-I couldn't climb...

What's happening?

- Thea? - Grabbing an intubation kit.

Page Dr. Sutton and clear the CT!

Hold the elevator.

I've got this.

Okay, uh, page if you need me, okay?
