Code Black (2015) s02e16 Episode Script
Fallen Angels
1 [Indistinct shouting.]
[Helicopter blades whirring.]
Reporter: It has been over 24 hours since the Centers for Disease Control and the National Guard quarantined Angels Memorial Hospital here in Downtown.
This could be the worst U.
S.
viral outbreak in years.
Comparisons are being drawn to SARS in '03, or the H1N1 flu pandemic in '09.
Sources are reporting that six people have died, with many more sick.
CDC officials are working around the clock to determine the source of the virus, stop its spread, and find a treatment.
If you think you've been exposed, please call the number on your screen.
Symptoms include high fever, spontaneous bruising, bleeding, and loss of mental capacity.
Can't just leave her like this.
She's not a piece of medical waste.
No.
She's not.
Yeah, she, uh she wanted me to take yoga with her.
You and yoga.
Yeah.
[Sniffles.]
[Laughs.]
She said it would mellow him out.
Hmm.
It didn't seem to work for her, though, did it? Definitely not.
I miss her.
Me too.
[Quietly.]
Me too.
Feeling okay? You care so much now.
[Sighs.]
What's that supposed to mean? Of course I care.
Is that why you called the foster care people on me? I called them, Ariel, because you are 13 and you need a home.
Well, I guess I don't need a home now, do I? Everyone that gets this dies.
I'm going to figure this out.
If anyone thought this could be figured out, there wouldn't be men with guns everywhere.
Listen to me.
Sometimes Sometimes things happen to us that can make us smaller, but sometimes it can make you bigger.
I need you to choose bigger right now.
Whatever that means.
Ariel.
Ariel, please come back.
Ariel! What'd I miss? Reddick is having a meeting we weren't invited to.
It's us against them.
And we're not losing another one of us.
No, we are not.
So what do we know? Yolanda was infected.
48 hours later, she's dead.
Exorcist: By divine virtue, cast into hell Satan.
Leanne: Of the five known people Yolanda came in contact with, four are dead.
Including Heather.
[Screams.]
Ow! Yolanda also infected Alicia Dias, who's the only one still alive from the first circle of exposure.
Yeah, she's the one who infected my waiting area.
Which started the second circle of exposure.
Ow! You inject like a first-year.
Yeah.
It's now 1:51 a.
m.
Patients in the second circle, including Elliot, Mario, Malaya, and Ariel, have about 10 hours left to live.
And what don't we know? The identity of patient zero, who could be the key to the cure.
Where did Yolanda get sick? She doesn't have any registered address.
She had to live somewhere.
Maybe Alicia knows.
Doctors, you better get in here.
- [Monitor beeping rapidly.]
- [Grunting.]
Ativan is in.
Alicia! Malaya: Alicia? Can you hear me? Alicia.
- Is she conscious? - Her blood pressure's tanking.
Alicia, can you hear me? - Alicia.
- Malaya! Give her pressors.
- Ask her where Yolanda lived! - Right now? Why? 'Cause your life depends on it.
Jesse: Malaya! Ask her! Alicia, where did your friend Yolanda live? [Mumbling.]
Raul Gomez.
- Where? - Arlington Heights.
Arlington Heights, good.
Look up a Raul Gomez from Arlington Heights.
- Check that address.
- Already on it.
I'm going with you.
It's not a discussion.
We need the Level One suits.
[Dog barking in distance.]
Raul? [Knock on door.]
Raul, are you in there? [Knocking continues.]
That's one of our vans.
What's it doing here? The CDC keeps strains in this container when in transport to the lab facility.
It's empty.
They must've stolen it while in transit then accidentally infected themselves.
That's why Gareth's keeping secrets.
They lost the virus.
All right, we got to find this container.
What's it look like? Small Plexiglass box with tumbler locks, about the size of a shoe box.
[Switch clicking.]
Lights don't work.
Raul? Raul? Are you here? Gretchen: Something's not right.
You mean like the blood all over the floor? There's something here.
That's part of the container.
That means we're at ground zero of the virus.
But where's the rest of the container? Garbage truck! [Brakes squeal.]
[Clattering.]
Ugh.
Gretchen: Here.
This label means that the virus was in the third phase of testing.
What does that mean? Part one is the virus, part two is antibodies to the strain, and part three is The vaccine.
Wait.
Are you saying that Reddick has a possible cure? [Man coughs in distance.]
What was that? Where'd that coming from? Raul? Raul! Are you here? Raul? [Gasps.]
[Screaming.]
Ethan: Leanne! Get off of her! Leanne! [Breathing shakily.]
[Siren wailing.]
Man: Get those people back! How bad is it? You should see the other guy.
Leanne, you may not be infected.
Sure.
A patient with a highly aggressive fluid-borne contagion drips his blood into my open wound I'm sure you're right.
It should've been me.
Then I'd be the one worrying, and you'd be the one headed to the tent.
I'm not worried.
We're gonna figure this out.
Hey, step back, sir! That's my house! Move back off the curb! Move! If anyone thought we could figure this out, there wouldn't be men with guns everywhere.
[Siren chirping.]
I saw the sample container, Gareth.
There's a vaccine in the works.
Potential vaccine.
We need rapid blood tests on everyone.
Anybody with symptoms comes with us.
- And get a respirator on.
- You lied to us.
You knew this virus came from the CDC.
- You knew that there was no - We knew that we had a stolen vehicle, and we were handling it.
You, however you broke quarantine, - and you got another doctor infected.
- Handling it? People are dying, and you have the vaccine! It is pre-clinical.
The animal testing, it has gotten very mixed results.
We both know how hard it is to test a virus like this on animals.
Millions of people get the flu.
How many of their pets get it? Zero.
The answer is no.
I'm sorry, Ethan.
- It's not over yet.
- What are you gonna do? I'm gonna go call in a favor.
Hey, what's your temp? It's up but not too bad.
- Any abdominal pain yet? - Would you shut up? You're the patient right now.
We're all the patients now.
[Door opens.]
Oh, my God.
He's just a kid.
How are you feeling? It's okay to be scared.
- I'm not scared.
- Really? Well, what's your secret? Because I'm terrified.
I've been through worse.
What, bubonic plague? Smallpox.
Ah.
Yeah, I had Black Death once, but it turned out to be bad Mexican food.
[Radio chatter.]
Leanne? - Dr.
Rorish.
- Stand back.
Let me talk to her, please.
- I'm not moving.
- Me neither.
This isn't necessary, okay? Just everyone calm down.
I'm okay.
Thanks.
Is it true? I don't I don't have any symptoms.
I'm fine so far.
[Chuckles.]
Mama you look like a pineapple in that thing.
Me? You look like a you look great.
Jesse, make a joke.
I can't.
Leanne You know, Dr.
Rorish says that you can be scared and brave at the same time.
Mario: Dr.
Rorish? Why doesn't Leanne have one of those space suits on? I was feeling a little left out.
How's everyone doing? You okay? Ariel.
You're sick, too, aren't you? Don't worry.
We're gonna be okay.
I know when someone's lying to me, you know.
I will never lie to you.
You can count on that.
I feel like I'm making a deal with the devil.
Technically, you're making a deal with an angel.
Noa: What's going on? They found me a new heart.
- And it's in Los Angeles.
- What about the quarantine? I'm having it flown in by ambu-flight.
They drop it on the roof and go.
Should be fine.
Thank God.
Some good news.
Have you been able to find out anything about Jeremy? No, I'm I'm sorry.
Still no word from inside the quarantine tent.
[Man coughing.]
How did you get in here? I thought Reddick ordered all I talked to General Hutchens.
The vaccine's on the way.
And our people can come back in here now.
Reddick: Dr.
Willis! Oh, this is the best part.
Who do you think you are? Just a girl, standing in front of a boy, - asking him to love her.
- What? Not a big movie fan? Who have no idea what you're dealing with.
This vaccine has never been tested.
- [Coughing.]
- She's losing her airway! Dr.
Pineda, bring the ultrasound.
- Pulse is thready.
- No, no, no, no.
She's drowning in her own sputum.
- I need a laryngoscope.
- Breathe, Ariel, breathe.
- I need an intubation tray.
- No, no, no.
If we intubate, she may never get off the vent.
Her airway's not intact.
Then suction her.
She can do it, Ethan.
She's a tough kid.
- Okay, hold the meds.
Suction.
- [Crying.]
Ariel, look.
Look at me, look at me.
Okay, don't take your eyes off me, okay? All right, I want you to just breathe.
That's it.
Through your nose, just breathe.
Okay, this is a little bit scary, but just breathe.
Okay, I'm right here with you.
Just breathe.
Slow down.
It's okay.
Almost done.
Breathe slowly.
You've got this.
Sats and pressure are up.
There we go.
That's it.
That was great.
- Good job.
- Thanks.
You want to know why I went over your head? 'Cause there's a brave young girl over there fighting for her life, and you're watching from a window seat.
Willis, listen to me.
Gretchen thinks that the animal testing was compromised because of biology, but there were fatalities.
In some cases, the vaccine, it sped up the progression of the virus.
If it can kill a pig, it can kill a human.
Do you understand what I'm saying? Leanne: I understand.
The vaccine is too risky to test on a child.
But you can test it on me.
Breathing is labored.
His lungs are filled with fluid.
- His pulse is weak.
- Come on, Bill.
Hang in there.
- The chopper's coming.
- I hope you're right.
Take this patient back to his room.
This is my department.
I'm prepping my patient for surgery, so you step back.
The transport helicopter, it's not coming.
It can't.
You know that.
We're not prisoners! Dr.
Campbell, I-I understand you're taking this personally because of the loss of your colleague.
But this is a federal quarantine.
- There is a reason that we - [Monitor beeping rapidly.]
No pulse.
I'm starting compressions.
- Get the crash cart over there.
- Guthrie: Give me a hand.
Come on, Bill.
[Beeping, whirring.]
Ready.
Clear.
No pulse.
Do it again.
Clear.
[Flatline.]
No pulse.
Come on, Bill! Come on, come on, Bill.
- Come on.
Shock him again, Rollie.
- He's flatlining.
Shock him again, Rollie.
Shock him! Will, we cannot get an impulse on dead myocardium! You know that! Come on.
His heart is gone.
Dr.
Campbell, I'm sorry.
[Monitor shuts off.]
Gareth, the vaccine is here.
Time of death 8:37 a.
m.
I'm fine.
Obviously.
Mind if I say something? - Yes.
- [Chuckles.]
Of all the doctors at Angels you're the one I aspire to be.
Watching you is is a lesson in being the calm in the storm but not the storm.
[Scoffs.]
- Until now.
- No.
Now you taught me it's okay to be human, too.
[Coughing.]
I don't want you taking the vaccine, Leanne.
You heard them.
It's dangerous.
You said Ariel doesn't belong to anyone.
We seem to have that in common.
There's no one waiting at home for me, Jesse.
Don't don't say that.
That's not true.
It is true.
Maybe that's why I'm here to test this antidote so that other people could live.
People at the start of their lives.
You think you don't belong to anyone? I mean, how can you say that to me? You belong to me, Leanne, just as much as I belong to you.
Tu eres mi familia! Entiendes? Tu eres mi familia.
SÃ, entiendo.
Entiendo.
Leanne, you ready? Yes.
Jesse I love you, too.
Come on.
If there's even a chance that I could save someone's life save her life I have to try.
It's in.
I want updates on vitals and serial blood samples every 15 minutes.
Now that you've done it, there's a protocol to follow.
[Indistinct conversations.]
[Telephones ringing.]
Ms.
Chislett your father suffered an aortic rupture.
Um, his heart stopped.
- No.
- We, um - Anna - No, no, no.
I-I-I don't understand.
- We're so sorry.
Your father died.
- No, no, no! No, y-you told me there was a heart! - You said that there was a heart.
- Yes, th-there was a heart.
But because of the quarantine, we couldn't get it in the hospital.
I'm sorry.
No, I-I need Jeremy! I-I want to see Jeremy! Please? Ms.
Chislett, I-I'm very sorry, but Jeremy he's in the quarantine tent.
- I-I want to see Jeremy, please! - You can't see - You can't see him right now.
- I don't care! - I'm sorry.
- Please, I just want to see Jeremy! - No, no, no.
- No! - Anna, please, please.
Listen to me.
- Please! Look at me.
Anna, look at me.
I know how alone you feel right now, I do.
But you are not alone.
Trust me.
Now, we need you to be strong for Jeremy, okay? [Sobbing.]
Hello? I'm right here, Elliot.
Mom? Is that you? No, Elliot.
It's Malaya.
I don't feel so great.
I'll increase your fluid rate.
Mom? Is that you? [Sighs.]
Yes, honey.
It's Mom.
I'll get this right off to the lab.
I've been living in a graveyard these last four years.
I don't want her to die alone.
What do you mean, "a graveyard"? I haven't been in my sweet children's room in all these years.
They're frozen in time, exactly as they were.
Ariel has been sleeping on a sofa in my home.
And not 20 feet away, there are 2 unused beds.
What the hell is wrong with me? Am I that afraid of those memories? Maybe it's not the memories you're afraid of.
Maybe it's replacing them with something new, because that might be a betrayal.
[Coughing.]
Leanne? I, uh I'm okay.
I'm okay.
- It's not working! - We need more time! Temperature's 103.
That's higher than it was 15 minutes ago.
If she was going to respond to the vaccine, she would've by now.
I told you all that the vaccine wasn't ready, but you insisted on raising this false hope.
You should've known better.
So, now what? Dr.
Reed will take blood samples of the exposed back to our lab in Atlanta to generate new immunoglobulins and refine the vaccine.
I'm so sorry.
What are you saying? What about our people? Right now, we've contained the outbreak.
The last circle of exposure is confined to that hot-zone tent.
It is nearly impossible to find a cure within the incubation period.
We'll make them as comfortable as we can.
I'm sorry.
Did he just say that We can't save them.
Gretchen! Don't go back.
I know you're upset.
I'm really sorry, but there is nothing more we can do.
There is something we can do.
- We can test the samples ourselves.
- Oh.
You said the original vaccine was derived from a person with a natural immunity.
What if we can find someone within our exposure circles with a similar immunity to this strain? The chances of that are so slim.
Yes, they're slim to none, I know.
But it's better than what happens if you go.
Where are you techs? You're lookin' at them.
We're not giving up yet.
There are hundreds of samples.
This is your whole team? You ever worked in a hospital during a code black? This is the only team you need.
Okay.
Noa: Anna? I have someone who'd like to see you.
Anna, God, it's good to see you.
Jeremy! What? [Voice breaking.]
Dad, he He didn't make it.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I wish I I wish I could be there with you.
You will be.
You you have to be.
I can't lose you, too.
I'm here.
I am right here, and I'm gonna be okay.
And I am gonna watch you walk down the aisle in that beautiful dress.
And I'm [Chuckles.]
I'm gonna read you those vows that I-I still have to write.
[Chuckles.]
And we are gonna live a long, happy life together, okay? I love you.
[Gasping.]
- Mario: I need some help over here! - Jeremy? Jeremy? Jeremy, what's happening? He's got blood in his airway.
His pulse is dropping.
We need suction, now! Mario, w-what's happening? - Hang in there, Jeremy.
- Mario, talk to me.
Come on, I need that suction n [Monitor beeping rapidly.]
What do you got? Severe hyperkalemia with EKG changes.
Already got meds.
Okay, he needs dialysis now.
- We already checked.
- There aren't any more machines.
- He's in V-tach.
- Peritoneal dialysis.
We can use the lining of his abdomen to filter his blood.
I need a PD kit! I'll get it myself.
[People coughing.]
Here you go.
Okay.
And here's the catheter.
All right.
And making the incision.
Go ahead and place the catheter.
Starting flow now.
- [Flatline.]
- It's not working.
We lost pulse.
Start compressions please, - and push another amp of calcium.
- Okay.
- I'll bag.
- Great.
[Monitor beeping rapidly.]
- Elliot.
- Mario, stay with your patient.
Don't stop compressions.
Dr.
Pineda, keep bagging.
Anybody? Come on, Elliot.
I need some Okay, come on, Elliot.
I can't see the cords! Ariel: I can help.
Okay.
Go to that cart right over there and get me a lighted stylet.
It it's a long wire with a light on the end of it.
It looks like a-a-a book light.
- Like this? - That's it.
Bring it over.
Great.
Take it out.
[Breathing heavily.]
- I'm scared.
- Don't be scared.
We can do this together, okay? Hold that.
- I want you to look at me.
- Okay.
Look me in the eyes.
Don't be scared.
We've got this.
Look at me.
We're gonna do this together, okay? - Okay.
- Okay? What I want you to do, Ariel, see this, - see the light on the end of it? - Yeah, yeah.
I want you to follow the light when I put it down his throat.
Okay.
- Pulse check.
- [Flatline.]
No pulse.
Pushing one more amp.
I can't.
You take over.
[Exhales sharply.]
[Monitor beeping.]
Okay.
- Okay, I see the light.
- Okay.
Okay.
Now squeeze it gently.
No, ge-gently.
- Okay, about every five or six seconds.
- Okay.
Squeeze.

Bilateral breath sounds.
You did it.
You saved him.
No.
You saved him.
[Chuckles.]
[Sighs deeply.]
Give me another pulse check? Pulse check.
- Got a pulse.
- He's stabilizing.
We're not even halfway through the samples.
It's been over two hours.
I have to go.
No, no.
We need another hour.
I'm really sorry.
I have to get on that plane.
Campbell: Willis.
I found something.
Look at these two here.
Both of these colors they're matching.
Is he right? Is it a match? Damn right, it's a match.
Right? Looks like a match to me.
- [Chuckling.]
- It's a m it's a It's a match.
It's a match.
- Have you seen Anna? - No, she was just here.
I need to get in.
I need to see my fiancé.
Ma'am, I can't let you in.
No one goes in this room.
Please, please.
- I want to see Jeremy.
- I can't let you in.
Stand aside, Private.
That's an order.
Respectfully, Colonel, you're not my C.
O.
Move now.
- Anna! - Hey! Stop right there! - I said stop! - No, no, no, no! Don't shoot! Don't shoot! [Gunshot.]
- No! - [People screaming.]
[Grunts.]
Stop, stop right now! Back up! Back up! Oh, my God.
Ariel: Was that a gunshot? Mario, what's going on? I can't see anything.
Malaya: Dr.
Rorish.
Dr.
Rorish! Mario! Leanne! - Ariel, you need to get back to your - No, I am not leaving her.
We'll take care of her.
No, I promise I won't get in the way, please! I need pressors over here! [Voice breaking.]
Are you okay? No, Leanne! Please look at me.
Please look at me.
Open your eyes, please.
Please open your eyes.
It's okay, it's okay.
Please, please open your eyes.
It's okay, it's okay.
Please, please.
Guthrie: Scalpel and thoracotomy tray now! Angus: Gloves! We need gloves! Slide into three.
Dr.
Kean, airway.
Still no pulse.
Continue compressions until I'm cutting.
Tube is in.
Rib spreader, please.
Well, then, more people are gonna die.
Okay, that's enough.
You got to tell them to put their weapons down and let us through.
What the hell happened? You should be on a plane to Atlanta.
Your soldier shot someone.
She's in Center Stage right now.
- What? - There's a man in that tent who has the antibodies to fight this virus.
And we're going in there and draw his blood so we can synthesize the antibodies.
We can stop this whole thing.
It ends right now.
Nobody else gets hurt.
Nobody else dies.
It's true.
We can save everyone.
Stand down, Private.
Go.
Thank you.
Go! Come on.
[Flatline.]
Mama says you either come here to die or to get one last miracle.
You want a miracle today? You be the miracle.
Noa, grab those heavy scissors.
You're gonna cut through this rib.
Come on.
Come on.
I can't get through.
Okay, here.
Let me help you.
All right, open it up.
Dr.
Kean, pericardium's filling with blood.
Heart can't beat.
What's your next move? Cut through the pericardium and find the bleed.
Exactly.
All right, let's do it.
Dr.
Leighton, cut.
Found the bleed.
It's a hole in the left atrium.
I've got 3-0.
Tying down now.
Work fast, now.
Tack it.
Here we go.
Got it.
[Flatline.]
Come on.
Be the miracle.
Be the miracle.
Be the miracle.
[Monitor beeping.]
Cardiac activity.
Somebody call CT surg.
Pedro Chavez! I need Pedro Chavez.
Campbell: I'll do the ulterior cut-down.
Sir are you ready to save your son? Follow me.
I'll do a venous on Leanne.
What's going on? We don't have time to synthesize the antibodies into a serum.
You got the same blood type.
We're gonna do a person-to-person transfusion.
Put his antibodies into her system.
What do you need from me? 4-0 prolene, I.
V.
bags.
Let's go.
Where is Ariel? Where's Ariel? She's right there.
She's next.
You're gonna be okay, daddy.
[Coughing.]
You guys, too.
Can I get a hand with Dr.
Savetti? Somebody help Dr.
Pineda! Lay her down! Let's go! [Woman vocalizing.]
[Sighs.]
Hey, there's my girl.
Hey.
Is everyone okay? Always the hero.
We didn't lose anyone else.
Oh, thank God.
How you feeling? As bad as you look.
[Laughter.]
Spend all your time waitin' For that second chance For a break that'll make it okay There's always some reason To feel not good enough It's hard at the end of the day I need some distraction - Oh - Someone else is here to see you.
Beautiful release Memories seep from my veins Let me be empty I'm glad you're here.
And weightless and maybe Even if I did have to catch a deadly virus.
I'll find some peace tonight Shut up.

Awesome.
May you find On the rapid infuser when we land.
My patient needs a trauma panel and a head CT.
Some comfort here I say it's an A-fib with aberrancy.

Rorish, which is it? Oh, AV dissociation with a capture beat.
- That's V-tach.

But for the next three years, - Keep on building the lies - I'm your mama.
That you make up for all that you lack Don't make no difference Escaping one last time It's easier to believe In this sweet madness Oh, the glorious sadness Brings me to my knees In the arms of the angel Fly away from here From this dark, cold hotel room And the endlessness that you fear You are pulled from the wreckage Hey.

[Helicopter blades whirring.]
Reporter: It has been over 24 hours since the Centers for Disease Control and the National Guard quarantined Angels Memorial Hospital here in Downtown.
This could be the worst U.
S.
viral outbreak in years.
Comparisons are being drawn to SARS in '03, or the H1N1 flu pandemic in '09.
Sources are reporting that six people have died, with many more sick.
CDC officials are working around the clock to determine the source of the virus, stop its spread, and find a treatment.
If you think you've been exposed, please call the number on your screen.
Symptoms include high fever, spontaneous bruising, bleeding, and loss of mental capacity.
Can't just leave her like this.
She's not a piece of medical waste.
No.
She's not.
Yeah, she, uh she wanted me to take yoga with her.
You and yoga.
Yeah.
[Sniffles.]
[Laughs.]
She said it would mellow him out.
Hmm.
It didn't seem to work for her, though, did it? Definitely not.
I miss her.
Me too.
[Quietly.]
Me too.
Feeling okay? You care so much now.
[Sighs.]
What's that supposed to mean? Of course I care.
Is that why you called the foster care people on me? I called them, Ariel, because you are 13 and you need a home.
Well, I guess I don't need a home now, do I? Everyone that gets this dies.
I'm going to figure this out.
If anyone thought this could be figured out, there wouldn't be men with guns everywhere.
Listen to me.
Sometimes Sometimes things happen to us that can make us smaller, but sometimes it can make you bigger.
I need you to choose bigger right now.
Whatever that means.
Ariel.
Ariel, please come back.
Ariel! What'd I miss? Reddick is having a meeting we weren't invited to.
It's us against them.
And we're not losing another one of us.
No, we are not.
So what do we know? Yolanda was infected.
48 hours later, she's dead.
Exorcist: By divine virtue, cast into hell Satan.
Leanne: Of the five known people Yolanda came in contact with, four are dead.
Including Heather.
[Screams.]
Ow! Yolanda also infected Alicia Dias, who's the only one still alive from the first circle of exposure.
Yeah, she's the one who infected my waiting area.
Which started the second circle of exposure.
Ow! You inject like a first-year.
Yeah.
It's now 1:51 a.
m.
Patients in the second circle, including Elliot, Mario, Malaya, and Ariel, have about 10 hours left to live.
And what don't we know? The identity of patient zero, who could be the key to the cure.
Where did Yolanda get sick? She doesn't have any registered address.
She had to live somewhere.
Maybe Alicia knows.
Doctors, you better get in here.
- [Monitor beeping rapidly.]
- [Grunting.]
Ativan is in.
Alicia! Malaya: Alicia? Can you hear me? Alicia.
- Is she conscious? - Her blood pressure's tanking.
Alicia, can you hear me? - Alicia.
- Malaya! Give her pressors.
- Ask her where Yolanda lived! - Right now? Why? 'Cause your life depends on it.
Jesse: Malaya! Ask her! Alicia, where did your friend Yolanda live? [Mumbling.]
Raul Gomez.
- Where? - Arlington Heights.
Arlington Heights, good.
Look up a Raul Gomez from Arlington Heights.
- Check that address.
- Already on it.
I'm going with you.
It's not a discussion.
We need the Level One suits.
[Dog barking in distance.]
Raul? [Knock on door.]
Raul, are you in there? [Knocking continues.]
That's one of our vans.
What's it doing here? The CDC keeps strains in this container when in transport to the lab facility.
It's empty.
They must've stolen it while in transit then accidentally infected themselves.
That's why Gareth's keeping secrets.
They lost the virus.
All right, we got to find this container.
What's it look like? Small Plexiglass box with tumbler locks, about the size of a shoe box.
[Switch clicking.]
Lights don't work.
Raul? Raul? Are you here? Gretchen: Something's not right.
You mean like the blood all over the floor? There's something here.
That's part of the container.
That means we're at ground zero of the virus.
But where's the rest of the container? Garbage truck! [Brakes squeal.]
[Clattering.]
Ugh.
Gretchen: Here.
This label means that the virus was in the third phase of testing.
What does that mean? Part one is the virus, part two is antibodies to the strain, and part three is The vaccine.
Wait.
Are you saying that Reddick has a possible cure? [Man coughs in distance.]
What was that? Where'd that coming from? Raul? Raul! Are you here? Raul? [Gasps.]
[Screaming.]
Ethan: Leanne! Get off of her! Leanne! [Breathing shakily.]
[Siren wailing.]
Man: Get those people back! How bad is it? You should see the other guy.
Leanne, you may not be infected.
Sure.
A patient with a highly aggressive fluid-borne contagion drips his blood into my open wound I'm sure you're right.
It should've been me.
Then I'd be the one worrying, and you'd be the one headed to the tent.
I'm not worried.
We're gonna figure this out.
Hey, step back, sir! That's my house! Move back off the curb! Move! If anyone thought we could figure this out, there wouldn't be men with guns everywhere.
[Siren chirping.]
I saw the sample container, Gareth.
There's a vaccine in the works.
Potential vaccine.
We need rapid blood tests on everyone.
Anybody with symptoms comes with us.
- And get a respirator on.
- You lied to us.
You knew this virus came from the CDC.
- You knew that there was no - We knew that we had a stolen vehicle, and we were handling it.
You, however you broke quarantine, - and you got another doctor infected.
- Handling it? People are dying, and you have the vaccine! It is pre-clinical.
The animal testing, it has gotten very mixed results.
We both know how hard it is to test a virus like this on animals.
Millions of people get the flu.
How many of their pets get it? Zero.
The answer is no.
I'm sorry, Ethan.
- It's not over yet.
- What are you gonna do? I'm gonna go call in a favor.
Hey, what's your temp? It's up but not too bad.
- Any abdominal pain yet? - Would you shut up? You're the patient right now.
We're all the patients now.
[Door opens.]
Oh, my God.
He's just a kid.
How are you feeling? It's okay to be scared.
- I'm not scared.
- Really? Well, what's your secret? Because I'm terrified.
I've been through worse.
What, bubonic plague? Smallpox.
Ah.
Yeah, I had Black Death once, but it turned out to be bad Mexican food.
[Radio chatter.]
Leanne? - Dr.
Rorish.
- Stand back.
Let me talk to her, please.
- I'm not moving.
- Me neither.
This isn't necessary, okay? Just everyone calm down.
I'm okay.
Thanks.
Is it true? I don't I don't have any symptoms.
I'm fine so far.
[Chuckles.]
Mama you look like a pineapple in that thing.
Me? You look like a you look great.
Jesse, make a joke.
I can't.
Leanne You know, Dr.
Rorish says that you can be scared and brave at the same time.
Mario: Dr.
Rorish? Why doesn't Leanne have one of those space suits on? I was feeling a little left out.
How's everyone doing? You okay? Ariel.
You're sick, too, aren't you? Don't worry.
We're gonna be okay.
I know when someone's lying to me, you know.
I will never lie to you.
You can count on that.
I feel like I'm making a deal with the devil.
Technically, you're making a deal with an angel.
Noa: What's going on? They found me a new heart.
- And it's in Los Angeles.
- What about the quarantine? I'm having it flown in by ambu-flight.
They drop it on the roof and go.
Should be fine.
Thank God.
Some good news.
Have you been able to find out anything about Jeremy? No, I'm I'm sorry.
Still no word from inside the quarantine tent.
[Man coughing.]
How did you get in here? I thought Reddick ordered all I talked to General Hutchens.
The vaccine's on the way.
And our people can come back in here now.
Reddick: Dr.
Willis! Oh, this is the best part.
Who do you think you are? Just a girl, standing in front of a boy, - asking him to love her.
- What? Not a big movie fan? Who have no idea what you're dealing with.
This vaccine has never been tested.
- [Coughing.]
- She's losing her airway! Dr.
Pineda, bring the ultrasound.
- Pulse is thready.
- No, no, no, no.
She's drowning in her own sputum.
- I need a laryngoscope.
- Breathe, Ariel, breathe.
- I need an intubation tray.
- No, no, no.
If we intubate, she may never get off the vent.
Her airway's not intact.
Then suction her.
She can do it, Ethan.
She's a tough kid.
- Okay, hold the meds.
Suction.
- [Crying.]
Ariel, look.
Look at me, look at me.
Okay, don't take your eyes off me, okay? All right, I want you to just breathe.
That's it.
Through your nose, just breathe.
Okay, this is a little bit scary, but just breathe.
Okay, I'm right here with you.
Just breathe.
Slow down.
It's okay.
Almost done.
Breathe slowly.
You've got this.
Sats and pressure are up.
There we go.
That's it.
That was great.
- Good job.
- Thanks.
You want to know why I went over your head? 'Cause there's a brave young girl over there fighting for her life, and you're watching from a window seat.
Willis, listen to me.
Gretchen thinks that the animal testing was compromised because of biology, but there were fatalities.
In some cases, the vaccine, it sped up the progression of the virus.
If it can kill a pig, it can kill a human.
Do you understand what I'm saying? Leanne: I understand.
The vaccine is too risky to test on a child.
But you can test it on me.
Breathing is labored.
His lungs are filled with fluid.
- His pulse is weak.
- Come on, Bill.
Hang in there.
- The chopper's coming.
- I hope you're right.
Take this patient back to his room.
This is my department.
I'm prepping my patient for surgery, so you step back.
The transport helicopter, it's not coming.
It can't.
You know that.
We're not prisoners! Dr.
Campbell, I-I understand you're taking this personally because of the loss of your colleague.
But this is a federal quarantine.
- There is a reason that we - [Monitor beeping rapidly.]
No pulse.
I'm starting compressions.
- Get the crash cart over there.
- Guthrie: Give me a hand.
Come on, Bill.
[Beeping, whirring.]
Ready.
Clear.
No pulse.
Do it again.
Clear.
[Flatline.]
No pulse.
Come on, Bill! Come on, come on, Bill.
- Come on.
Shock him again, Rollie.
- He's flatlining.
Shock him again, Rollie.
Shock him! Will, we cannot get an impulse on dead myocardium! You know that! Come on.
His heart is gone.
Dr.
Campbell, I'm sorry.
[Monitor shuts off.]
Gareth, the vaccine is here.
Time of death 8:37 a.
m.
I'm fine.
Obviously.
Mind if I say something? - Yes.
- [Chuckles.]
Of all the doctors at Angels you're the one I aspire to be.
Watching you is is a lesson in being the calm in the storm but not the storm.
[Scoffs.]
- Until now.
- No.
Now you taught me it's okay to be human, too.
[Coughing.]
I don't want you taking the vaccine, Leanne.
You heard them.
It's dangerous.
You said Ariel doesn't belong to anyone.
We seem to have that in common.
There's no one waiting at home for me, Jesse.
Don't don't say that.
That's not true.
It is true.
Maybe that's why I'm here to test this antidote so that other people could live.
People at the start of their lives.
You think you don't belong to anyone? I mean, how can you say that to me? You belong to me, Leanne, just as much as I belong to you.
Tu eres mi familia! Entiendes? Tu eres mi familia.
SÃ, entiendo.
Entiendo.
Leanne, you ready? Yes.
Jesse I love you, too.
Come on.
If there's even a chance that I could save someone's life save her life I have to try.
It's in.
I want updates on vitals and serial blood samples every 15 minutes.
Now that you've done it, there's a protocol to follow.
[Indistinct conversations.]
[Telephones ringing.]
Ms.
Chislett your father suffered an aortic rupture.
Um, his heart stopped.
- No.
- We, um - Anna - No, no, no.
I-I-I don't understand.
- We're so sorry.
Your father died.
- No, no, no! No, y-you told me there was a heart! - You said that there was a heart.
- Yes, th-there was a heart.
But because of the quarantine, we couldn't get it in the hospital.
I'm sorry.
No, I-I need Jeremy! I-I want to see Jeremy! Please? Ms.
Chislett, I-I'm very sorry, but Jeremy he's in the quarantine tent.
- I-I want to see Jeremy, please! - You can't see - You can't see him right now.
- I don't care! - I'm sorry.
- Please, I just want to see Jeremy! - No, no, no.
- No! - Anna, please, please.
Listen to me.
- Please! Look at me.
Anna, look at me.
I know how alone you feel right now, I do.
But you are not alone.
Trust me.
Now, we need you to be strong for Jeremy, okay? [Sobbing.]
Hello? I'm right here, Elliot.
Mom? Is that you? No, Elliot.
It's Malaya.
I don't feel so great.
I'll increase your fluid rate.
Mom? Is that you? [Sighs.]
Yes, honey.
It's Mom.
I'll get this right off to the lab.
I've been living in a graveyard these last four years.
I don't want her to die alone.
What do you mean, "a graveyard"? I haven't been in my sweet children's room in all these years.
They're frozen in time, exactly as they were.
Ariel has been sleeping on a sofa in my home.
And not 20 feet away, there are 2 unused beds.
What the hell is wrong with me? Am I that afraid of those memories? Maybe it's not the memories you're afraid of.
Maybe it's replacing them with something new, because that might be a betrayal.
[Coughing.]
Leanne? I, uh I'm okay.
I'm okay.
- It's not working! - We need more time! Temperature's 103.
That's higher than it was 15 minutes ago.
If she was going to respond to the vaccine, she would've by now.
I told you all that the vaccine wasn't ready, but you insisted on raising this false hope.
You should've known better.
So, now what? Dr.
Reed will take blood samples of the exposed back to our lab in Atlanta to generate new immunoglobulins and refine the vaccine.
I'm so sorry.
What are you saying? What about our people? Right now, we've contained the outbreak.
The last circle of exposure is confined to that hot-zone tent.
It is nearly impossible to find a cure within the incubation period.
We'll make them as comfortable as we can.
I'm sorry.
Did he just say that We can't save them.
Gretchen! Don't go back.
I know you're upset.
I'm really sorry, but there is nothing more we can do.
There is something we can do.
- We can test the samples ourselves.
- Oh.
You said the original vaccine was derived from a person with a natural immunity.
What if we can find someone within our exposure circles with a similar immunity to this strain? The chances of that are so slim.
Yes, they're slim to none, I know.
But it's better than what happens if you go.
Where are you techs? You're lookin' at them.
We're not giving up yet.
There are hundreds of samples.
This is your whole team? You ever worked in a hospital during a code black? This is the only team you need.
Okay.
Noa: Anna? I have someone who'd like to see you.
Anna, God, it's good to see you.
Jeremy! What? [Voice breaking.]
Dad, he He didn't make it.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I wish I I wish I could be there with you.
You will be.
You you have to be.
I can't lose you, too.
I'm here.
I am right here, and I'm gonna be okay.
And I am gonna watch you walk down the aisle in that beautiful dress.
And I'm [Chuckles.]
I'm gonna read you those vows that I-I still have to write.
[Chuckles.]
And we are gonna live a long, happy life together, okay? I love you.
[Gasping.]
- Mario: I need some help over here! - Jeremy? Jeremy? Jeremy, what's happening? He's got blood in his airway.
His pulse is dropping.
We need suction, now! Mario, w-what's happening? - Hang in there, Jeremy.
- Mario, talk to me.
Come on, I need that suction n [Monitor beeping rapidly.]
What do you got? Severe hyperkalemia with EKG changes.
Already got meds.
Okay, he needs dialysis now.
- We already checked.
- There aren't any more machines.
- He's in V-tach.
- Peritoneal dialysis.
We can use the lining of his abdomen to filter his blood.
I need a PD kit! I'll get it myself.
[People coughing.]
Here you go.
Okay.
And here's the catheter.
All right.
And making the incision.
Go ahead and place the catheter.
Starting flow now.
- [Flatline.]
- It's not working.
We lost pulse.
Start compressions please, - and push another amp of calcium.
- Okay.
- I'll bag.
- Great.
[Monitor beeping rapidly.]
- Elliot.
- Mario, stay with your patient.
Don't stop compressions.
Dr.
Pineda, keep bagging.
Anybody? Come on, Elliot.
I need some Okay, come on, Elliot.
I can't see the cords! Ariel: I can help.
Okay.
Go to that cart right over there and get me a lighted stylet.
It it's a long wire with a light on the end of it.
It looks like a-a-a book light.
- Like this? - That's it.
Bring it over.
Great.
Take it out.
[Breathing heavily.]
- I'm scared.
- Don't be scared.
We can do this together, okay? Hold that.
- I want you to look at me.
- Okay.
Look me in the eyes.
Don't be scared.
We've got this.
Look at me.
We're gonna do this together, okay? - Okay.
- Okay? What I want you to do, Ariel, see this, - see the light on the end of it? - Yeah, yeah.
I want you to follow the light when I put it down his throat.
Okay.
- Pulse check.
- [Flatline.]
No pulse.
Pushing one more amp.
I can't.
You take over.
[Exhales sharply.]
[Monitor beeping.]
Okay.
- Okay, I see the light.

Bilateral breath sounds.
You did it.
You saved him.
No.
You saved him.
[Chuckles.]
[Sighs deeply.]
Give me another pulse check? Pulse check.
- Got a pulse.
- He's stabilizing.
We're not even halfway through the samples.
It's been over two hours.
I have to go.
No, no.
We need another hour.
I'm really sorry.
I have to get on that plane.
Campbell: Willis.
I found something.
Look at these two here.
Both of these colors they're matching.
Is he right? Is it a match? Damn right, it's a match.
Right? Looks like a match to me.
- [Chuckling.]
- It's a m it's a It's a match.
It's a match.
- Have you seen Anna? - No, she was just here.
I need to get in.
I need to see my fiancé.
Ma'am, I can't let you in.
No one goes in this room.
Please, please.
- I want to see Jeremy.
- I can't let you in.
Stand aside, Private.
That's an order.
Respectfully, Colonel, you're not my C.
O.
Move now.
- Anna! - Hey! Stop right there! - I said stop! - No, no, no, no! Don't shoot! Don't shoot! [Gunshot.]
- No! - [People screaming.]
[Grunts.]
Stop, stop right now! Back up! Back up! Oh, my God.
Ariel: Was that a gunshot? Mario, what's going on? I can't see anything.
Malaya: Dr.
Rorish.
Dr.
Rorish! Mario! Leanne! - Ariel, you need to get back to your - No, I am not leaving her.
We'll take care of her.
No, I promise I won't get in the way, please! I need pressors over here! [Voice breaking.]
Are you okay? No, Leanne! Please look at me.
Please look at me.
Open your eyes, please.
Please open your eyes.
It's okay, it's okay.
Please, please open your eyes.
It's okay, it's okay.
Please, please.
Guthrie: Scalpel and thoracotomy tray now! Angus: Gloves! We need gloves! Slide into three.
Dr.
Kean, airway.
Still no pulse.
Continue compressions until I'm cutting.
Tube is in.
Rib spreader, please.
Well, then, more people are gonna die.
Okay, that's enough.
You got to tell them to put their weapons down and let us through.
What the hell happened? You should be on a plane to Atlanta.
Your soldier shot someone.
She's in Center Stage right now.
- What? - There's a man in that tent who has the antibodies to fight this virus.
And we're going in there and draw his blood so we can synthesize the antibodies.
We can stop this whole thing.
It ends right now.
Nobody else gets hurt.
Nobody else dies.
It's true.
We can save everyone.
Stand down, Private.
Go.
Thank you.
Go! Come on.
[Flatline.]
Mama says you either come here to die or to get one last miracle.
You want a miracle today? You be the miracle.
Noa, grab those heavy scissors.
You're gonna cut through this rib.
Come on.
Come on.
I can't get through.
Okay, here.
Let me help you.
All right, open it up.
Dr.
Kean, pericardium's filling with blood.
Heart can't beat.
What's your next move? Cut through the pericardium and find the bleed.
Exactly.

Sir are you ready to save your son? Follow me.
I'll do a venous on Leanne.
What's going on? We don't have time to synthesize the antibodies into a serum.
You got the same blood type.

We didn't lose anyone else.
Oh, thank God.
How you feeling? As bad as you look.
[Laughter.]
