You Fired A Genius Surgeon Full Episode
Transcript
00:00:00...patients flooding into Bale Hospital's emergency department.
00:00:03The fate of these accident victims now rests in the hands of Bale's surgical team,
00:00:08their last hope for survival in the face of devastating trauma.
00:00:12Vigil's crashing! We need an attending surgeon now!
00:00:15All the hours are full. We got three more criticals incoming.
00:00:18Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding.
00:00:20I can't leave this one. Where's Dr. Stevens?
00:00:22We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the ER.
00:00:30You need a hand?
00:00:43A new hire. You just started this month.
00:00:46Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level 1 trauma like this.
00:00:50Patient's pressure is dropping.
00:00:52Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman. Patient's yours.
00:01:00Okay, we are going to perform a modified whipple.
00:01:03Whipple? For trauma? That's insane.
00:01:06Trust me.
00:01:08Medicine bomb scissors.
00:01:11Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:15It's that procedure outside towers. The patient won't survive.
00:01:18Obicottery.
00:01:22Watch.
00:01:22He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:31But bleeding. It's under control.
00:01:33But how did he...
00:01:35Silk suture?
00:01:41Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:01:49I've never seen anything like this.
00:01:50Almost done.
00:02:01This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:12Jesus, Adrian.
00:02:13What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:02:15I thought you were just a murky surgeon, but...
00:02:17That? That was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed.
00:02:21Where did you learn to operate like that?
00:02:23What you just did will go down in the history books.
00:02:26Wait.
00:02:27I heard President Vail personally recruited a medical prodigy
00:02:29who revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.
00:02:33Is that you?
00:02:40Final suture.
00:02:41Miss Vail's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:02:49Doctor.
00:02:51The nurses.
00:02:52They said you did it.
00:02:54And you...
00:02:55You actually did.
00:02:59Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.
00:03:02Every surgeon on the West Coast said it was inoperable,
00:03:05that she only had weeks to live,
00:03:06but you...
00:03:08You saved my Catherine.
00:03:10She'll make a full recovery, President Vail.
00:03:13Name your price for whatever it is.
00:03:14We need you at Vail.
00:03:16My hospital.
00:03:19Look, I'll explain later.
00:03:20Right now we have three critical patients
00:03:22that need specialized procedures.
00:03:24It's going to take hours.
00:03:26Y'all should go home.
00:03:27Get some rest.
00:03:28I'll take over from here.
00:03:30Okay.
00:03:32Good work, everyone.
00:03:33Good work.
00:03:36You're all stable.
00:04:04Every single one of them.
00:04:07Stabilized.
00:04:11Oh, sun's coming up.
00:04:14You must have operated all night.
00:04:16You're a machine.
00:04:17Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
00:04:20All right.
00:04:21It's time for some much-needed shut-eye.
00:04:24Hey, you.
00:04:42Hey, yourself.
00:04:43I've been operating all night.
00:04:47I saved every single patient from that pileup.
00:04:50What you did was extraordinary.
00:04:52How do you always know exactly what I needed?
00:04:56Because I know you.
00:04:58Better than anyone.
00:04:59You remember.
00:05:05Hey, bear.
00:05:06Your favorite?
00:05:07You remember.
00:05:09Where's he did?
00:05:10You know, I've been thinking lately.
00:05:12About us.
00:05:16I know it's only been a month, but...
00:05:18It just feels different.
00:05:20It's the third time this week.
00:05:29Hospital food's better than someone else's.
00:05:31Hmm.
00:05:33So who's this Marksman guy?
00:05:35His surgical skills are unreal.
00:05:36Sure.
00:05:37I thought he was just another new hire.
00:05:39I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:05:42With talent like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department right now.
00:05:45What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?
00:05:55Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.
00:06:00Who is this guy?
00:06:03Preston Bale.
00:06:04Preston Bale's son.
00:06:05Harvard MBA.
00:06:06He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife,
00:06:09who just recovered from an experimental pancreatic odontanectomy.
00:06:14I'm sorry.
00:06:14Am I looking at two board-certified surgeons or med school dropouts?
00:06:20Hard to tell based on your behavior.
00:06:22Sir, about that...
00:06:23Save it.
00:06:25Parker.
00:06:26You couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:06:30You're fired.
00:06:31Clear out your office.
00:06:33New management means new standards.
00:06:35It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.
00:06:41Attention.
00:06:42Everybody's attention now.
00:06:44If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs, every surgery must be perfect.
00:06:50No complications, no deaths.
00:06:53This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:06:57Who's he thinking is?
00:06:58Dr. House?
00:06:59What is this?
00:07:03Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:07:05Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:07:09This is a hospital.
00:07:11We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
00:07:14That was from my residency direction.
00:07:17Oh, cry me, a ripper.
00:07:19Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients,
00:07:21a little less time collecting gold stars, you'd be a real doctor.
00:07:25You're fired.
00:07:26Excuse me?
00:07:27Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop,
00:07:29just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.
00:07:32Yes, sir.
00:07:33Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?
00:07:36That was good.
00:07:38Let's go.
00:07:43Well, well, well.
00:07:45What do we have here?
00:07:47Sleeping after a shift?
00:07:49Rise and shine, superstar.
00:07:51Did I order a wake-up call?
00:07:56No, you didn't.
00:07:59But here's one anyway.
00:08:00You are fired.
00:08:05Are you serious?
00:08:06You're firing me?
00:08:08Do you need me to draw your diagram, doctor?
00:08:11Well, no.
00:08:11There must be some sort of mistake.
00:08:14Fiona, what's his position here?
00:08:16He's a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.
00:08:21What's he make?
00:08:22$700,000.
00:08:24That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
00:08:26$700,000?
00:08:27Are you insane?
00:08:29Are you giving resident money to a first year who sleeps on the job?
00:08:32This hospital is being scammed.
00:08:34I just worked all night.
00:08:36I'm just taking a nap.
00:08:37Also, now you're expecting overtime pay.
00:08:40Seem lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.
00:08:44What were you thinking?
00:08:45Hiring this fraud.
00:08:46Are they as dumb as these hack surgeons,
00:08:48or this is some sort of insurance scam?
00:08:51Adrian and I might be sleeping together,
00:08:54but I can't let him drag me down.
00:08:55My career comes first.
00:08:57Boy, bye.
00:08:59There must be some clerical error.
00:09:01His credentials.
00:09:03Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:09:06Fiona.
00:09:08Dr. Marksman.
00:09:10You are F-I-R-E-D.
00:09:14Fire.
00:09:16Clear out your office.
00:09:17Clear out your locker.
00:09:19Get the hell out of my hospital.
00:09:22This is a mistake, okay?
00:09:23You need to check the surgical lock.
00:09:24You don't get afraid of that.
00:09:25What?
00:09:32I see.
00:09:35Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:09:38You don't understand.
00:09:39He's the one who...
00:09:40Didn't I fire you two already?
00:09:42Beat it.
00:09:43Vale is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:09:45Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:09:47I understand.
00:10:06Hospital politics.
00:10:08Look, I know it's only been a month,
00:10:09but there is something real between us.
00:10:12Meet me in the lobby after your shift.
00:10:14I'll be waiting.
00:10:15You care to explain that little exchange?
00:10:30If a boy won't like this,
00:10:32four attendings dismissed in one day,
00:10:34patient care will suffer.
00:10:36Fear is a weapon, Fiona.
00:10:38I intend to wield it.
00:10:40Or perhaps you're more concerned
00:10:41with one surgeon in particular,
00:10:43your little scam artist situation ship.
00:10:46No, Preston.
00:10:47He means nothing to me.
00:10:49Really.
00:10:50I have no personal stake in your staffing decision.
00:10:51Let's be clear about your future here.
00:10:55Do you want to be with the nobody
00:10:56collecting unemployment checks
00:10:58or the man who signs everyone's paychecks,
00:11:02including yours?
00:11:03The man who signs everyone's paychecks.
00:11:08Even the most attractive administrators
00:11:10need to be reminded
00:11:11who's in charge around here.
00:11:21Hey, Dad.
00:11:22What's wrong?
00:11:22Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.
00:11:25She'll be okay,
00:11:26but I need you to take full control of the hospital.
00:11:29And Preston,
00:11:30there's something critical you need to know.
00:11:32Of course, what is it?
00:11:33That new surgeon,
00:11:35Dr. Marksman,
00:11:36whatever happens,
00:11:37make sure you take care of him.
00:11:39Dr. Marksman?
00:11:40Dr. Marksman,
00:11:41you're fucking fired.
00:11:43Get out of my hospital.
00:11:45Christ.
00:11:46The resident I just fired?
00:11:48Preston?
00:11:49Are you there?
00:11:51Check the staff roster.
00:11:53See if we have another Marksman
00:11:55working for us here.
00:11:57I had to back up the brakes truck
00:11:59to get him here.
00:12:00He's a surgeon who saved your mother's life,
00:12:02and he's pioneering
00:12:04our experimental surgery program.
00:12:07The hospital's reputation
00:12:08rests on his work.
00:12:10Ah, yes, I see now.
00:12:16There's another surgeon attending with that name.
00:12:19Dr. Marksman,
00:12:21pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
00:12:23Two-time Florence Nightingale,
00:12:25medal recipient for medical excellence.
00:12:27Three-times Apex award winner for clinical research.
00:12:29Is this who you mean, Dad?
00:12:31That's our man.
00:12:32There's another surgeon with the same last name
00:12:34who's been a disaster for us.
00:12:36Negligent, lazy, you name it.
00:12:38Do me a favor.
00:12:39Fire him.
00:12:41Already done, Dad.
00:12:42I fired his slacker ass this morning.
00:12:45Thank God.
00:12:46Almost thought I fired our star surgeon.
00:12:48Good work, son.
00:12:49I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
00:12:54Just, uh, just take care of Mom, all right?
00:12:56I got everything else under control.
00:12:57See?
00:13:04Told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless.
00:13:08Now, about your career trajectory.
00:13:11Mr. Bale, sir.
00:13:13Can't you see I'm busy?
00:13:15Multiple traumas incoming.
00:13:16The six-car pileup.
00:13:17You fired half our surgery team.
00:13:18What's your point?
00:13:19ER is crashing.
00:13:21We've no one left who can handle it.
00:13:22Give me the situation.
00:13:29Now.
00:13:31Six critical traumas, three more incoming.
00:13:33Multiple crush injuries, arterial bleeds, sir.
00:13:37We're losing patients.
00:13:38What are our options?
00:13:40There might be one solution.
00:13:41Well, spit it out.
00:13:43Dr. Marksman.
00:13:44He handled four critical traumas alone last night.
00:13:46If we can get him back here.
00:13:48Marksman.
00:13:49Right.
00:13:49That's not what we need.
00:13:50Fiona, call him.
00:13:51Which Dr. Marksman should I?
00:13:53The genius surgeon.
00:13:54The one I didn't fire.
00:13:56Keep up.
00:14:01What the hell?
00:14:03Where did all this stuff go?
00:14:18Idiot left his research notes.
00:14:21Modified trauma protocol.
00:14:25Wait.
00:14:27These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:14:30Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:14:36Hello?
00:14:37Dr. Marksman.
00:14:38Multiple critical traumas in the ER.
00:14:40Preston Vale says if you can handle this crisis, there's a monster promotion waiting.
00:14:44I'm on my way.
00:14:45I'm on my way.
00:14:49With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.
00:14:53They'll make me department head.
00:14:55And I can finally make seven figures.
00:15:03Well?
00:15:04Dr. Marksman's on his way.
00:15:05Thank God.
00:15:06Now, about your loyalty.
00:15:19Adrian meant nothing.
00:15:21I was using him to advance my career in my future.
00:15:25That's my girl.
00:15:26Beyond his shift in an hour ago, the boss's son is up to something.
00:15:39To hell with this.
00:15:40I'm going up.
00:15:40Piece of shit!
00:15:59Get your hand out of my girl!
00:16:01Oh, just knock it off, Adrian!
00:16:05You mean to tell me that the brilliant surgeon can't see what's been happening under his own nose?
00:16:10You mean to tell me that you've been messing around with this incompetent nepo baby?
00:16:14I can choose who I want.
00:16:15And I don't want a disgrace surgeon with no future.
00:16:17You pathetic loser.
00:16:19We're done, Adrian.
00:16:36Ancient history.
00:16:38Are you serious?
00:16:40Just like that.
00:16:41Sorry that this bum wrinkled your jacket, sir.
00:16:46Why are you doing this, Fiona?
00:16:48Am I just a stepping stone to you?
00:16:50I need someone with a future.
00:16:52Not someone who sleeps while patients are dying.
00:16:58Keep it for when you get lonely and horny.
00:17:01It's the closest you'll ever come to the real thing again.
00:17:07Look at us, Adrian.
00:17:09I'm the future of Vail Hospital.
00:17:11And you?
00:17:15Just a slacker.
00:17:16And scrubs.
00:17:18You're washed up, Marksman.
00:17:19Perhaps try nursing?
00:17:21I hear they're always hiring.
00:17:24Fiona, I met you here and it made me want to stay.
00:17:27I thought we could build a family together.
00:17:30Get over yourself.
00:17:32You think I'm going to stay with someone who lied about their credentials?
00:17:34President Vail would never have hired someone who sleeps during shifts.
00:17:42We're done.
00:17:44I'm not done.
00:17:45But when I am, there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.
00:17:49You can count on that.
00:17:51No, no, no.
00:17:55Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.
00:17:57Your troubles are just getting started.
00:17:58Who authorized you to be here?
00:18:05Mr. Vail, I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision, we've stabilized all the patients from the multi-car accident, and the situation is completely under control.
00:18:14You're Dr. Marksman.
00:18:16Ah, yes.
00:18:17The very same.
00:18:18My father mentioned your exceptional credentials.
00:18:21Harvard Medical Hall.
00:18:22These morons have no idea I'm taking credit for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.
00:18:29As long as the boss's son is impressed, I'll be chief of surgery by next month.
00:18:33Mr. Vail, I've identified who's responsible for all the issues in OR3 today.
00:18:38He was sleeping while the patient almost died on the table.
00:18:42Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
00:18:44Dr. Hart.
00:18:54Incredible news.
00:18:55Dr. Adrian Marksman, that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking, he's just been terminated from Vail Hospital.
00:19:03When?
00:19:03Less than an hour ago.
00:19:05Dismissed by President Vail's son.
00:19:08Huh.
00:19:09Amazing.
00:19:10I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face when he discovers that his prized surgeon was fired by his submental son.
00:19:18With our respect, we're still establishing our reputation.
00:19:23Would someone of Marksman's caliber even consider joining us?
00:19:26We'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:19:29Full department autonomy.
00:19:31Research funding.
00:19:33State-of-the-art facilities.
00:19:34And if necessary, my personal involvement.
00:19:40His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.
00:19:44Have my car brought round.
00:19:46I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.
00:19:49And Adrian Marksman?
00:19:50He's leaving with me.
00:19:58Alphysus?
00:19:59What kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:20:01Oh, don't insult our intelligence.
00:20:02A patient coded while you were off taking a nap.
00:20:05The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental.
00:20:07Yet you stand there denying it.
00:20:09This is crazy.
00:20:10You've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon.
00:20:13And when a complication occurs, which happened in this hospital under your incompetent leadership,
00:20:18you blame me.
00:20:22The collective medical knowledge in this room isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.
00:20:27If you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be, you would still have a job.
00:20:30I'm not going to stand here and debate medicine with you in front of Mr. Vail.
00:20:35Security, please detain him.
00:20:37What exactly are you accusing me of?
00:20:44Either confess to medical malfeasance, or they'll escort you to the police for criminal negligence.
00:20:51Adrian, I never realized you were capable of endangering patients.
00:20:55What other medical atrocities have you committed?
00:20:58You better confess now, or we'll do everything in the power to make sure you lose your medical license.
00:21:02Come on.
00:21:05Go ahead.
00:21:06Do your worst.
00:21:08Let's see if a single piece of evidence holds up in front of the medical board.
00:21:11You really underestimate my family's influence, don't you?
00:21:18Don't you realize that Mr. Vail here can end your entire career with one phone call?
00:21:22Sir, I strongly recommend that we make an example out of him.
00:21:25After all, he'll be a danger to his patients wherever he goes.
00:21:28Kristen, you can't let him walk away after this.
00:21:31Not after what he did to our patients.
00:21:34I'm contacting the medical board right now.
00:21:36As of this moment, Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted from Vail Hospital and every medical institute in the country.
00:21:44Plans in motion, Adrian.
00:21:46Do you know what that means?
00:21:47It means that you will never practice medicine in this country again.
00:21:53I have one question before I go.
00:21:56Does your father know you fired me?
00:21:58My father's the one who asked me to fire you, you dipshit.
00:22:03You thought you were some brilliant surgical god.
00:22:06Didn't you?
00:22:08Security, remove this criminal from hospital property immediately.
00:22:11Immediately.
00:22:12Yes, doctor.
00:22:13Right away, sir.
00:22:16That's quite enough.
00:22:17Let him go.
00:22:30Dr. Marksman is about to accept the position as chief of surgical innovation at Hart Medical Center.
00:22:38I know you.
00:22:41You're Vivian Hart, the surgical upstart from that medical clinic across town.
00:22:46That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you, Mr. Vail.
00:22:50Vivian?
00:22:51I haven't seen you since the John Hopkins Symposium, like, four or five years ago.
00:22:55What are you doing here?
00:22:56Well, I'm here for the most innovative surgeon in the country, of course.
00:22:59Wait, are you seriously suggesting this negligent doctor has value?
00:23:06He was sleeping during rounds.
00:23:08Is this how Vail Hospital discards its exceptional talent?
00:23:12Your father built this institution's reputation of medical excellence, not petty politics.
00:23:18Dr. Hart, with all due respect...
00:23:22This is a conversation between medical directors.
00:23:24Someone in your position should recognize them to maintain silence.
00:23:28Dr. Hart, I must inform you that Dr. Marksman represents a serious liability.
00:23:32He compromised patient safety and...
00:23:35I don't believe I requested your medical opinion, Dr....
00:23:38Marksman.
00:23:39David Marksman.
00:23:40I have neither time nor interest in your assessment.
00:23:43After he decided to go to sleep, we had a critical surgical complication.
00:23:50His negligence led to the problem.
00:23:52His actions not only endangered patients, it compromised my hospital's reputation.
00:23:57Are you really willing to defend someone who violates the Hippocratic Oath?
00:24:02Did you actually consult with your father before dismissing Dr. Marksman?
00:24:07Of course I consulted my father.
00:24:09He's the one who specifically mentioned his dangerous surgical shortcuts and inflated reputation.
00:24:16Dangerous shortcuts?
00:24:18Is that what President Vail really said?
00:24:20His exact words were, remove him at first opportunity.
00:24:24President Vail was the one that recruited me.
00:24:26This makes absolutely no sense.
00:24:27Please, Adrian.
00:24:28The president wouldn't personally recruit a mid-level surgeon like you.
00:24:32Those gala invitations were professional courtesy, not genuine respect.
00:24:38Well, if that's the way things work at Vail, I have nothing more to contribute to any of you.
00:24:43Dr. Marksman, would you consider joining Heart Medical Center as our chief of surgery?
00:24:49Well, I've...
00:24:50Full department autonomy, protected research time, a surgical fellowship in your name, and a seven-figure salary package.
00:24:58And cash.
00:25:29Dr. Marksman, I want you to revolutionize our surgery program.
00:25:34Hopefully this shows you.
00:25:36I mean what I say.
00:25:43Chief of surgery?
00:25:47You're offering all this to a surgeon who can't even keep his eyes open on the job?
00:25:51Dr. Heart, have you completely lost your medical judgment, or are you on drugs?
00:25:57This is absurd.
00:25:58He was a mediocre surgeon here at Vail.
00:26:00And now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department?
00:26:04The medical board should review your hiring practices.
00:26:10Vivian, I appreciate your confidence.
00:26:14This isn't about money.
00:26:17Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you.
00:26:21She's offering herself up to him.
00:26:24She can't do that.
00:26:25Are you a doctor or a call girl?
00:26:27At a Heart Medical Center, you will be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves.
00:26:33Including a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value.
00:26:37Dr. Heart, for the sake of your own reputation, you need to know that this hack you're so eagerly pursuing has a documented history of negligence.
00:26:52My father confirmed it himself.
00:26:54Is that precisely what Nelson Bale told you?
00:26:57His exact words.
00:26:59Negligence, Serge.
00:27:01What are those?
00:27:02Personal gifts from your father.
00:27:09My fellowship offer.
00:27:11My personal research lab.
00:27:13My surgical team.
00:27:14I'm leaving it all behind.
00:27:17You can tell President Vail that as of this moment, Dr. Marksman has permanently withdrawn from Vail Hospital and all of its affiliated institutions.
00:27:27You know what?
00:27:27Spare us the theatrics, Adrian.
00:27:29You never deserve those privileges in the first place.
00:27:32The medical board is going to see that justice is done.
00:27:36Oh.
00:27:36Your stupidity.
00:27:38It's just astonishing.
00:27:41You treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels.
00:27:45This man is a life-saving artist.
00:27:51Dr. Heart, I understand there's some competition between your center and Vail Hospital.
00:27:55Yeah, look, I'll be real.
00:27:58We're struggling to get out from under their shadow.
00:28:00I'd be happy to help you out with that.
00:28:02Take me on, and I'll transform Heart into the number one surgical institution in the country.
00:28:09Look at yourself, Adrian.
00:28:11Offering your skills to a struggling clinic.
00:28:13How pathetically desperate.
00:28:16Oh.
00:28:16A backstabbing bottom feeder like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his caliber.
00:28:22How dare you talk to me like that!
00:28:25Your malpractice has caused catastrophic damage to my hospital's reputation.
00:28:30As the responsible party, I demand that you issue a formal apology to one of the major medical journals.
00:28:36And with an explanation to every affected Vail Hospital patient.
00:28:42Refuse me, and I will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently.
00:28:47That accusation isn't just baseless.
00:28:49It's absurd.
00:28:50What exactly do you think you're going to do about it?
00:28:53You've got no choice but to sign this confession.
00:28:55Oh, stop threatening my chief surgeon.
00:28:57If you insist on pursuing this vendetta, have your attorney send a formal complaint to Heart Medical Center.
00:29:03We'll consider it nothing less than a declaration of total war.
00:29:08If it's war you want, I will obliterate your dime store clinic with everything that I've got.
00:29:15Let's go.
00:29:17One more second and a cesspool's gonna make me physically ill.
00:29:27Mr. Vail, don't you waste another precious moment on those secondary practitioners.
00:29:34David, you've proven your loyalty.
00:29:36The chief of surgery position is yours, effective immediately.
00:29:41This is extraordinary.
00:29:44I am honored beyond words.
00:29:48Don't forget about me, Preston.
00:29:51Don't worry, babe.
00:29:53You will be thoroughly compensated for your loyalty.
00:29:57How exciting.
00:29:59Mr. Vail, I swear on my medical oath that I will not disappoint you.
00:30:05Mr. Vail, a commuter train derailed.
00:30:07Six critical patients incoming.
00:30:09Dr. Marksman, OR1 now.
00:30:11Now's your time to shine, Dr. Marksman.
00:30:13Shit.
00:30:13Screwed.
00:30:14Adrian's surgical journal with all his proprietary techniques is still in my office.
00:30:18If Preston finds out, I stole it and then couldn't even use it properly.
00:30:23I implemented a groundbreaking surgical protocol that I invented myself.
00:30:28These techniques are revolutionary.
00:30:31I'll walk you through it in detail after the emergency.
00:30:33It's impressive, Dr. Marksman.
00:30:35You've obviously got your own methodology.
00:30:38No need to bore me with the specifics.
00:30:39I trust your brilliance.
00:30:40Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:30:43With you leading my surgical team, I can focus on what really matters.
00:30:47Hospital expansion.
00:30:49Again, sir, I'm deeply honored.
00:30:58Behold, Vail Hospital's new chief of surgery.
00:31:01Let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now.
00:31:07Glad you're feeling better, honey.
00:31:09Oh, sorry.
00:31:12Who's this?
00:31:16Nelson Vail speaking.
00:31:17President Vail, Dr. Vivian Hart here.
00:31:20I am calling to let you know that as of this morning, Hart Medical Center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena.
00:31:27Revolutionary surgical procedures are Vail Hospital's domain.
00:31:31Are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight?
00:31:35This is merely a professional courtesy call, not an invitation for debate.
00:31:39Now, just...
00:31:40What is that conniving bitch plotting?
00:31:47She knows Adrian is our surgical secret weapon.
00:31:51Why would she deliberately provoke a medical war?
00:31:54She knows she has absolutely no chance of winning.
00:31:59Unless...
00:31:59Dad, we've got multiple traumas coming in.
00:32:07Just tell me you didn't fire Dr. Marksman.
00:32:11Dad, relax.
00:32:12Fire the other one.
00:32:14That incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned.
00:32:16Then explain to me why Hart Medical Center believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy.
00:32:23Because I masterfully led Vivian Hart into a false sense of reality.
00:32:28It's a way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures.
00:32:32I convince Vivian that she's acquired surgical brilliance.
00:32:36But in reality, she's hired our disgraced, discarded loser.
00:32:40So you deliberately manipulated Vivian?
00:32:42She thinks she's hired the genius behind Vail Hospital's groundbreaking procedures.
00:32:48That's why she had the audacity to declare war on you.
00:32:50Impressive, son.
00:32:51You're finally showing some of the leadership qualities I've been waiting to see out of you.
00:32:56I think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division.
00:33:02Dad, this is everything I've worked for.
00:33:06We'll get to work immediately.
00:33:07We're going to expose Hart Medical Center for the low-grade institution it truly is.
00:33:15Their humiliation will be quick and absolute.
00:33:18I will let you down.
00:33:19Darling, surgical innovation is the future of Vail.
00:33:25Preston only got his MBA last year.
00:33:27Do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program?
00:33:31I would never take a risk like this if Preston was our only asset.
00:33:36Remember, we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon.
00:33:40You mean the surgeon that saved my life?
00:33:43Dr. Adrian Marksman.
00:33:45Exactly.
00:33:46And all I need to do is stay hands-off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents.
00:33:55As long as Adrian is with Vail Hospital, Hart Medical Center has no chance of competing.
00:34:01Not only that, Vivian fell for Preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster, Dr. David Marksman.
00:34:10All we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble.
00:34:22So, now that you've seen the surgical department, what do you think?
00:34:29It's not bad.
00:34:31It's a small team, but they're talented.
00:34:33What you've built here, it's impressive, Viv.
00:34:38It's good to see you again after all these years, Adrian.
00:34:42You too.
00:34:43We need to expand.
00:34:45It's too small for what I'm planning.
00:34:47So, I heard you weren't the only surgeon Preston Bale fired.
00:34:57You have all the angles figured out, don't you?
00:35:00And I always find the best one.
00:35:09I'm going to start recruiting.
00:35:12Good.
00:35:13The faster we rise, the more rewarding this partnership becomes.
00:35:31This better be good.
00:35:33Mr. Bale, you wanted to see me?
00:35:36My father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department.
00:35:45Given your new position as chief of surgery, I'm appointing you head of innovation.
00:35:50Mr. Bale, I, uh...
00:35:52Is there an issue with that?
00:35:53No, absolutely not.
00:35:55The budget for innovation is astronomical, and President Bale has already handed control to his son?
00:36:01If I oversee these procedures, I could divert significant resources to my personal research.
00:36:07Mr. Bale, you can trust me completely.
00:36:11I am precisely the right man for the job.
00:36:15Preston, we have a catastrophe on our hands.
00:36:17Two attending surgeons just submitted their resignations simultaneously.
00:36:20The department can't possibly maintain its caseload.
00:36:22What?
00:36:23They both resigned at once?
00:36:24What was their explanation?
00:36:25They refused to disclose their reasons.
00:36:27But there's talk they were recruited by a former real physician.
00:36:29Along with the three other surgeons you fired before.
00:36:32Former physician Adrian Marksman, this has his saboteur signature all over it.
00:36:36President, what is our contingency plan?
00:36:38The surgical department is severely understaffed.
00:36:41If any more surgeons leave, patients will suffer.
00:36:43Okay, everybody needs to remain calm.
00:36:47You still have me.
00:36:49I can rebuild this department.
00:36:51Ah, yes.
00:36:52With your stellar reputation, we should be able to get the best of the best.
00:36:55Exactly.
00:36:56So we lost some second-rate talent.
00:36:59Let him go.
00:37:01I'll make some calls to Cedar Sinai.
00:37:04And UCLA.
00:37:06Good work, Marksman.
00:37:11This is working out perfectly.
00:37:13Now I can install my own allies in key positions.
00:37:16Soon, I'll control the entire hospital's medical direction.
00:37:18It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Hart.
00:37:43This is Dr. Parker here.
00:37:48He's a triple board certified surgeon.
00:37:50And soon, he'll be the head of trauma surgery.
00:37:53This is Dr. Rhodes, Chen, Rose, and Thomas.
00:37:57All consummate professionals.
00:37:59My most trusted colleagues back at Bayonne.
00:38:04With this surgical team, Hart Medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country.
00:38:09Actually, the whole world.
00:38:12We're eager to begin, Dr. Hart.
00:38:14Well, welcome to Hart Medical Center.
00:38:18I am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us, but I do need to be transparent.
00:38:25We have got considerable ground to cover before we can truly challenge Bayonne Hospital's dominance.
00:38:30Have no fear, Dr. Hart.
00:38:31With Adrian leading our team, we'll be three steps ahead of anything Bayonne attempts.
00:38:36Yes, but Bayonne has already implemented Adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols.
00:38:42Yeah, about that.
00:38:43It's a preliminary version.
00:38:45If they continue to develop this approach without modification...
00:38:47Then what?
00:38:48A lot of deaths.
00:38:50A lot of lawsuits.
00:38:52A lot of patients could be harmed.
00:38:53Or worse, these procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement.
00:38:58Those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training without that foundation.
00:39:04We're talking about serious complications.
00:39:07Preventable harm.
00:39:08Our first priority has to be patient safety.
00:39:11We need to perfect these procedures, and then we can find a way to prevent Bayonne from continuing with the flawed protocols.
00:39:18Exactly.
00:39:18It's not about competition or pride.
00:39:20It's about saving lives.
00:39:22We're using our experience with the trial procedures I did at Bayonne to develop next-generation surgical techniques,
00:39:31eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies.
00:39:35Even if Bayonne Hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new,
00:39:40we'll maintain our significant advantage.
00:39:43And if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols, rest assured, their outcomes will deteriorate.
00:39:50I don't wish it upon their patients, that's for sure.
00:39:53Remember this moment.
00:39:55In this battle for medical supremacy, Heart Medical Center will emerge victorious.
00:40:06It's 3 a.m.
00:40:08Lost track of time again.
00:40:10Okay.
00:40:13Viv, you surprised me.
00:40:18Looks like you could use a nice rub.
00:40:21Do you mind?
00:40:23No.
00:40:25I mean, yeah.
00:40:27Will you give all your surgeons massages?
00:40:30Only the ones I really, really like.
00:40:37You really, really liked me?
00:40:40Adrienne, I've really, really liked you since residency.
00:40:43Nothing's changed.
00:40:46You were our most brilliant resident in the program.
00:40:49I never imagined someone like you would like me.
00:40:51There was never anyone else that got my attention.
00:40:55Only you.
00:40:57But you were completely oblivious.
00:41:00And then you just vanished from the program.
00:41:02Well, I left to join the experimental surgical fellowship in Switzerland.
00:41:07I know.
00:41:10Your talent was extraordinary even then.
00:41:13Back then, I made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday.
00:41:17You know, when I established Heart Medical Center, my first priority was recruiting you.
00:41:24But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Bale, had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives.
00:41:31I understand now.
00:41:40So, should we pick up where we left off in residency?
00:41:46You're the boss.
00:41:47That's right.
00:41:49And as your boss, I say, come home with me.
00:41:53Tonight?
00:41:54You lost everything when Preston fired you.
00:41:57Hospital privileges, research funding.
00:42:01Even your hospital subsidized apartment.
00:42:05You have literally nowhere else to go tonight.
00:42:09Come with me.
00:42:12Where?
00:42:13My place.
00:42:19Hmm.
00:42:23All right.
00:42:24I'll admit it.
00:42:26That was the best meal I've had in months.
00:42:28Careful, Dr. Marksman.
00:42:30I might start thinking you're easy to please.
00:42:33That just depends on the company.
00:42:35Well, starting tonight, this is your new home.
00:42:39Until the program's fully established, it just makes sense.
00:42:43Are you sure about that?
00:42:44We already work late hours.
00:42:47Living together could get complicated.
00:42:51Well, I like complicated.
00:42:53Keeps things interesting.
00:42:55And where exactly will I be sleeping?
00:42:58Well, my master suite has a California king.
00:43:09Plenty of room.
00:43:11There are things that I need to get more collaborative.
00:43:17Really?
00:43:18Relax.
00:43:19I'm only teasing.
00:43:22Tonight, at least.
00:43:24Come on.
00:43:25I'll show you your room.
00:43:30Unless you'd rather have a nightcap.
00:43:33And mine.
00:43:40Things can get dangerous.
00:43:41Is this pathetic attempt really the best that you can do?
00:43:52You are completely worthless as surgeons.
00:43:55Dr. Marksman.
00:43:57The experimental procedures we're trying to replicate here are extraordinarily intricate.
00:44:01We need at least six months to properly master...
00:44:04Six months?
00:44:05You have 72 hours.
00:44:07And I expect hourly updates on my desk.
00:44:10Sir, brushing these delicate procedures...
00:44:13...dramatically increases the possibility of potentially fatal complication.
00:44:16Three days.
00:44:17Then you don't get one hour more.
00:44:19Go.
00:44:20Go.
00:44:24Report, Dr. Marksman.
00:44:26What's our status?
00:44:27Excellent progress, Mr. Vale.
00:44:28We will be advancing to phase two implementation within three days.
00:44:33That's exactly what I wanted to hear.
00:44:35I knew my judgment in appointing you was flawless.
00:44:42Preston, I need an update on the experimental surgery program.
00:44:46Everything's proceeding perfectly, Father.
00:44:48Outstanding.
00:44:49When this is done, I'll throw you a huge party to celebrate the launch.
00:44:53Your father must be so proud of you.
00:44:55Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:44:57I want to make sure my father understands your invaluable contribution.
00:45:01This is my shot.
00:45:03Why settle for chief of surgery?
00:45:04With the right maneuvering, I could become the next chief medical officer of Vale Hospital.
00:45:09Mr. Vale, my purpose is to execute the visionary medical strategies of brilliant administrators such as yourself.
00:45:18I believe that in the position of chief medical officer, I could implement your ideas more effectively throughout the entire hospital.
00:45:25These procedures prove successful.
00:45:26I will personally discuss your advancement with the board.
00:45:29Truly, that's...
00:45:30I am profoundly grateful, sir.
00:45:35You're finally awake.
00:45:44You can keep appreciating the view while you eat.
00:46:01All right.
00:46:02Ooh, breakfast.
00:46:04Looks good.
00:46:08When you're finished eating, we'll head directly to the surgical wing.
00:46:11Sound good?
00:46:12Yes.
00:46:13Absolutely.
00:46:15Good.
00:46:16Get it up and running, and there may be a special bonus waiting for you.
00:46:24Extra special.
00:46:25Okay, team, we're approaching a critical phase of our program development.
00:46:37We have groundbreaking procedures that we need to perfect in very little time.
00:46:41So, let's get to it.
00:46:42Let's start revolutionizing medicine.
00:46:44I have excellent news for all of you.
00:46:47I've just finalized arrangements with the board.
00:46:50And upon successful implementation of our surgical innovations, each of you will receive a fully funded medical mission trip anywhere in the world that you choose to share your expertise.
00:47:00And when the time comes that our procedures receive national certification, every surgeon on this team will be gifted a percentage of the royalties from any techniques we patent.
00:47:13At Hart Medical Center, our surgeons are the lifeblood of our institution, and you will be compensated accordingly.
00:47:24Dr. Hart, we are fully committed to making the surgical program a success.
00:47:28Dr. Hart. Absolutely. You'll be seeing progress ASAP.
00:47:32Vail Hospital won't know what hit him. With Adrian leading us, victory is guaranteed.
00:47:36Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best.
00:47:41Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart
00:48:11Are you always this disciplined?
00:48:14Or are you just trying to impress me?
00:48:17I was trying to impress you, even though.
00:48:20Midnight meetings, long hours,
00:48:25this work ethic of yours,
00:48:27it's a little dangerous.
00:48:31That's what Val used to say about me.
00:48:34Then they fired me.
00:48:38And they were fools.
00:48:41You've earned more than just respect here, Adrian.
00:48:45You know that, right?
00:48:51You trying to motivate me again?
00:48:53I don't try.
00:48:57I do.
00:49:01Well, don't work too late.
00:49:06You're no good to me, burnt out.
00:49:11The incompetence is, uh, is staggering.
00:49:20Yeah, you two are in way over your heads.
00:49:22Do you really think that this is acceptable?
00:49:27I give you one simple task, and you screw it up!
00:49:31How the hell did either of you even finish residency?
00:49:34Vail General Hospital is the gold standard,
00:49:38and you two are just standing around like clueless little interns.
00:49:41If these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow,
00:49:44you're both gone.
00:49:45Is that clear?
00:49:45Yes, sir.
00:49:47This is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team?
00:49:53Go.
00:49:59Oh, Mr. Vail.
00:50:00What a, what a, what a surprise.
00:50:02Cut the bullshit, Marksman.
00:50:04We're on schedule or not.
00:50:06Of course.
00:50:08We're, we're just refining the final stages.
00:50:11Yeah, everything's under control.
00:50:14Good.
00:50:15There's a problem.
00:50:16I expect to hear it from you.
00:50:17No cover-ups.
00:50:18Of course, sir.
00:50:21Mr. Vail.
00:50:22Not now.
00:50:23Go get me the latest performance reports.
00:50:25It, uh, looks like Preston's growing a little cold
00:50:32on our lovely administrator here.
00:50:34Don't worry.
00:50:35When Preston makes me chief medical officer,
00:50:38I'm gonna need someone flexible in my corner.
00:50:42I was back the winning team, Dr. Marksman.
00:50:51Today, Vail Hospital officially launched.
00:50:53It's highly anticipated next-generation surgical program.
00:50:57This cutting-edge approach to surgical care
00:50:59is being closely watched by the medical industry,
00:51:02especially as Heart Medical's competing program
00:51:05was released on the same day.
00:51:07The question now is,
00:51:08who will define the future of surgery?
00:51:11Relax, Mr. Vail.
00:51:13Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance.
00:51:16I hope you're right.
00:51:18For your sake.
00:51:19Didn't you say that, uh,
00:51:23if the rollout went well,
00:51:25that you'd make me chief medical officer?
00:51:28It's not a success.
00:51:29Yet.
00:51:32Enjoy tonight's launch party.
00:51:34Because if our results don't outshine Heart Medical,
00:51:36it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate
00:51:38for a long time.
00:51:39Dr. Hurt, we, uh, have a problem.
00:51:54Vail Hospital's new surgical program launches today.
00:51:57That soon?
00:51:58They're hosting a big celebration party tonight.
00:52:01It's a good thing we're ahead of...
00:52:05You're saying we're ready?
00:52:08Why would I lie?
00:52:09We've been tracking Vail's every move.
00:52:12Let him celebrate.
00:52:13It's just gonna backfire.
00:52:14How exactly does that work in our favor?
00:52:18Viv, do you remember what I told you
00:52:19when you first brought me here?
00:52:23Preston Vail's rushing this.
00:52:24He's desperate to beat us to the market.
00:52:26And?
00:52:27Their model's flawed.
00:52:28If they keep moving forward without realizing
00:52:30their structural failure and their approach,
00:52:32we won't have to lift a damn finger.
00:52:36And what about when it falls apart?
00:52:37Then Heart Medical takes over
00:52:39as the future of modern surgery.
00:52:42So you're saying that Vail Hospital
00:52:43has been refining the prototype surgical method
00:52:45that you designed?
00:52:47It's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast.
00:52:50They're using an early draft,
00:52:51full of mistakes that I won't make again.
00:52:54They don't even realize the cracks in the foundation.
00:52:56That actually makes perfect sense.
00:53:01Which means we've already won.
00:53:04Well, this is a big day for us.
00:53:05We should celebrate.
00:53:07What do you have in mind?
00:53:08Drinks?
00:53:09Not quite.
00:53:10You and I are crushing the Vail launch party tonight.
00:53:13What?
00:53:15Why?
00:53:16Let me worry about that.
00:53:17In the meantime, ensure a smooth rollout,
00:53:19finish whatever procedures you need to,
00:53:22and meet me in the lobby at 8 p.m. sharp.
00:53:24Preston, we've been through so much together.
00:53:41I know where I'm headed in life,
00:53:43and I know who I want by my side.
00:53:46Tonight, at this launch party,
00:53:48celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program,
00:53:51just at the perfect moment to ask,
00:53:55will you marry me?
00:54:00It should be fun.
00:54:04Absolutely.
00:54:06You really know how to take care of yourself, Mr. Vail?
00:54:08Oh, stop it.
00:54:10Too bad you're taken.
00:54:11Yeah, yeah, what a shame.
00:54:13Where the fuck is Fiona?
00:54:14Told her to meet me out here
00:54:15so we can go to this party together.
00:54:17Forget about her.
00:54:18She's just social climbing trash anyways.
00:54:21We'll show you a better time.
00:54:23Yeah.
00:54:25Now that's an offer I can't refuse.
00:54:27Let's go.
00:54:27Fiona who?
00:54:28Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:54:31Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:54:34Let me get you off.
00:54:34The number you have dialed is unavailable.
00:54:57Please try again later.
00:54:58It's 20 in one day.
00:55:23All clean, all stable.
00:55:26Experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.
00:55:29You did it.
00:55:30No, we didn't.
00:55:34Dr. Marksman,
00:55:36you have to get to Vail's launch party pronto.
00:55:38You're already late.
00:55:39I need a change there.
00:55:40You don't have time.
00:55:41Where's Vivian?
00:55:43Taking care of something.
00:55:45She said it's really important that you be there
00:55:47and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:55:50Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vail Hospital's
00:55:52revolutionary surgical program.
00:55:54What the fuck?
00:56:10You're my date and you're wasted.
00:56:12I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.
00:56:15Yeah.
00:56:15God knows why I chose you, but I did.
00:56:17So if you want to keep your job
00:56:19and your status sober up, for God's sakes.
00:56:21Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?
00:56:42It's giving orderly sheep.
00:56:47Maybe he's here to bust tables.
00:56:50What are you doing at our launch party?
00:56:52You weren't invited.
00:56:53You so sure about that?
00:56:54I mean, look at you.
00:56:55This is a black tie.
00:56:57I mean, not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is.
00:56:59Oh, look who crawled in from the gutter.
00:57:04The failed surgeon.
00:57:06The fraud.
00:57:07The nobody.
00:57:09Show up to my party in dirty scrubs, Marksman?
00:57:12Thought I told the security to keep out the criminals in the low lives.
00:57:15Guess you need to fire them, too.
00:57:17Pardon me, I just came straight from surgery.
00:57:19Because some of us here are real surgeons.
00:57:22What are you trying to say?
00:57:23I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody,
00:57:27isn't me.
00:57:31I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.
00:57:36Got some nerve talking to my man, Marksman, like that.
00:57:39A genius like him leading our surgical team?
00:57:41You won't be able to get anywhere near our next party.
00:57:44Yeah, because it'll happen in prison.
00:57:46When you're all arrested for medical malpractice,
00:57:49criminal negligence, and identity theft.
00:57:53What are you talking about?
00:57:55Identity theft?
00:57:57Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?
00:57:59Yours?
00:58:00Let me give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.
00:58:03If you don't got it, just act like you do.
00:58:06Speaking from experience.
00:58:09Look around you.
00:58:11This is the elite among the elites.
00:58:13The best of the best in the medical field.
00:58:16Just because you waltz in here and you're dirty, cheap scrubs,
00:58:18doesn't make you one of us.
00:58:20Good.
00:58:20I'm glad.
00:58:21Because you're all beneath me.
00:58:22Isn't that right, Dr. Marksman?
00:58:26That's enough.
00:58:27Guards!
00:58:29This former employee's threatening us.
00:58:31Kick him out!
00:58:33Touch me and you'll regret it.
00:58:35I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
00:58:40What are you dumbasses doing?
00:58:42Grab him!
00:58:56Preston!
00:58:57What the hell is this?
00:58:59Dad, relax.
00:59:02I, uh...
00:59:02Relax?
00:59:04This twat came in uninvited.
00:59:06I was just kicking him out.
00:59:06Guards!
00:59:07Remove him immediately.
00:59:08President Bale, it truly is an honor to finally meet you.
00:59:11You get out of my way!
00:59:13Dad, what are you doing?
00:59:14This is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...
00:59:18You are such a fool!
00:59:21Dad, what are you doing?
00:59:23Open your eyes, Preston.
00:59:26This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...
00:59:29You are a...
00:59:32Disgraced!
00:59:34Dad!
00:59:35My hospital meant something and you turned it into a...
00:59:40Into a...
00:59:40Dad!
00:59:47Dad!
00:59:49President Bale, fuck away from my dad!
00:59:52Are you out of your mind?
00:59:54He is the best surgeon in this room.
00:59:55Oh, yeah, like you give a shit about saving my dad.
00:59:58I'll die before I trust you, too.
01:00:00Somebody get me a real doctor!
01:00:01David!
01:00:02David!
01:00:03It's cold!
01:00:04It's cold.
01:00:09Can't think of what to do next?
01:00:11Blinking?
01:00:12Can't think of a diagnosis?
01:00:13Shut up!
01:00:14Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?
01:00:17This is ridiculous.
01:00:18I thought this David guy was a genius.
01:00:20Are you just standing there?
01:00:22Do something!
01:00:22What's the matter, David?
01:00:25If you need help, just ask.
01:00:28All you have to do is admit what you did.
01:00:30Right here, right now.
01:00:32I can't blow my cover, but...
01:00:35What if I kill him?
01:00:37I don't know anything about surgeries.
01:00:39I don't even know what's wrong with them.
01:00:41I did medical school on Zoom.
01:00:44David!
01:00:44David!
01:00:44This is a matter of life and death.
01:00:47Let it go!
01:00:48I...
01:00:49I...
01:00:50I...
01:00:51I...
01:00:51I can't.
01:00:54I can't do this.
01:00:57Okay.
01:00:59Okay, I can't...
01:01:00I can't do this.
01:01:02I can't do this without my notebook.
01:01:05That's my surgical notebook.
01:01:10You stole it from me.
01:01:18Okay.
01:01:19Okay.
01:01:20I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.
01:01:23Okay.
01:01:27Okay, I got it, I got it.
01:01:29Here, take it, take it.
01:01:31Okay.
01:01:31All right, hold his head, but tilt it back and apply pressure here.
01:01:37Okay.
01:01:38Okay.
01:01:38Okay.
01:01:47Okay.
01:01:49Okay.
01:01:51Great.
01:01:52Four.
01:01:53Four.
01:01:57Oh, thank God.
01:01:59Let it out.
01:02:05That's my guy.
01:02:07Surgical genius.
01:02:09That's how Val makes history.
01:02:11Somebody get this man a medal.
01:02:13Or at least a new department.
01:02:15If you still want that chief medical officer position, say the word.
01:02:19Now, do I have to have somebody escort you out?
01:02:23That maneuver.
01:02:25That notebook.
01:02:26It's mine.
01:02:27Then tell them.
01:02:32Where is he going?
01:02:33Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program.
01:02:36At another fake hospital.
01:02:38Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?
01:02:40Say, hey, why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life?
01:02:47That procedure David used, I invented it.
01:02:51What kind of crack are you smoking?
01:02:53He's delusional.
01:02:55Somebody seriously check this guy's medical license.
01:02:57The notebook he used to save your father.
01:03:01That's mine.
01:03:02My handwriting.
01:03:03My theories.
01:03:04You're just pissed because he did what you couldn't.
01:03:09I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories as innovation.
01:03:12And when it fails,
01:03:15then it will.
01:03:17You're not the ones that'll pay for it.
01:03:19The patients will.
01:03:20You can't prove that.
01:03:22Not yet.
01:03:22But you can't fake medicine.
01:03:27Medicine and science.
01:03:28Always tell the truth.
01:03:33Our three's vitals just dropped.
01:03:35We've got uncontrolled bleeding.
01:03:36Second patient today.
01:03:37Same issue.
01:03:38Vessel ligation failed mid-operation.
01:03:41These techniques aren't viable.
01:03:42The fail method doesn't hold under stress.
01:03:45I mean, come on.
01:03:46Tonight proves it.
01:03:48We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country.
01:03:50I'll be right back.
01:03:59Just coordinating with the team.
01:04:03Talk to me.
01:04:04The vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again.
01:04:07This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.
01:04:11Use the compression step.
01:04:13That only works in control scenarios.
01:04:16We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.
01:04:18Look, just follow the notes.
01:04:24I designed those techniques for 101 guidance.
01:04:27Not mass implementation.
01:04:29Without calibration.
01:04:31It's unstable.
01:04:32It's dangerous.
01:04:33They tried to commercialize your success without you.
01:04:36Now people are paying for it.
01:04:39All good?
01:04:41Of course.
01:04:42Just routine coordination.
01:04:44Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.
01:04:47Your surgical program is failing.
01:04:49And patients are suffering.
01:04:51You've been out of the field for months.
01:04:53You wouldn't know.
01:04:54Yeah, I would know.
01:04:55Because the procedures that you're butchering, I invented.
01:04:58And I'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing.
01:05:03Bullshit.
01:05:03Bullshit.
01:05:04Oh, yes.
01:05:10This is Dr. Marksman.
01:05:11Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:05:15Okay.
01:05:16Listen very carefully.
01:05:18Your patient OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.
01:05:25No, you need to perform a Marksman-modified Pringle maneuver with selective hepatic arterial ligation, followed by a rapid-sequence vascular anatomosis using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures.
01:05:39Yes.
01:05:41Yes.
01:05:42How do we even know he made a phone call?
01:05:47This whole thing is performance, a charade.
01:05:49You stole his methods.
01:05:51This entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork.
01:05:56Uh, that's a lie.
01:05:58Then prove me wrong.
01:05:59Show them all a technique that I didn't create.
01:06:01Why would we believe anything he says?
01:06:07He was fired.
01:06:07He was fired.
01:06:09You're right.
01:06:09I was fired.
01:06:10And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary.
01:06:16You know what?
01:06:16This is pathetic.
01:06:18He's just jealous.
01:06:19He missed his shot.
01:06:20Is that what you told yourself?
01:06:22When you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal?
01:06:25Even if that were true, this isn't the time or the place.
01:06:29I think it's exactly the time and place.
01:06:42I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator.
01:06:45And thanks to Adrian's guidance, our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients.
01:06:52Adrian just cleaned up your mess.
01:06:55You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready, and you fired him.
01:07:00The one person who could make them safe.
01:07:04Dad, you don't see the full picture here.
01:07:07Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.
01:07:10This hospital was built on trust and integrity, and you've disgraced them both.
01:07:15Your father nearly died because of your ego.
01:07:19Because of his lies.
01:07:20You saved me.
01:07:24You saved Nelson.
01:07:25And now, you can save Vale.
01:07:28Tried to warn you all.
01:07:30No one listened.
01:07:31They're listening now.
01:07:33You deserve to be at Vale more than either of those two.
01:07:38And probably even more than me.
01:07:40It was a mistake to let you go.
01:07:42Months ago, I was fired from Vale Hospital.
01:07:46The procedure's still in development.
01:07:49They weren't ready.
01:07:50They needed supervision.
01:07:52Precision.
01:07:54Development.
01:07:55Instead, someone took my notes and tried to fast-track them for glory.
01:07:58Oh.
01:07:59You can't prove that.
01:08:01Security footage.
01:08:02Of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital.
01:08:09Already submitted to the board.
01:08:12I built on what he started.
01:08:15Okay?
01:08:15I didn't steal.
01:08:17I enhanced it.
01:08:19Then why were patients about to die?
01:08:22You falsified rollout readiness?
01:08:24He did more than that.
01:08:26He put lives at risk.
01:08:28To prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program.
01:08:31We're going to need to open a formal investigation on this.
01:08:35This is absurd.
01:08:36This was supposed to be our night.
01:08:38Oh, it's your night.
01:08:40Just not the way you thought it'd be.
01:08:43You lied to me.
01:08:45I didn't lie.
01:08:46I simplified the truth.
01:08:48Simplify?
01:08:49You could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people.
01:08:53You nearly killed the president of the hospital.
01:08:56You passed up experimental procedures as launch ready.
01:08:59That's malpractice.
01:09:00They worked.
01:09:01Nelson's alive.
01:09:02Look, the patients, they're alive.
01:09:04Yeah, because of me.
01:09:06Those methods require sequential tensioning, breath control, special clamp techniques.
01:09:11Getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death.
01:09:13Wait, these really are your techniques?
01:09:16I tested them for years.
01:09:17It was never meant for mass rollout.
01:09:21Not without training.
01:09:22You're rewriting history?
01:09:24No, you tried to erase him from it.
01:09:27Adrian Marksman was the reason that Vale's program had a future.
01:09:31And without him, it won't.
01:09:33This is absurd!
01:09:35You're siding with this disgraced former resident?
01:09:38He's not disgraced, son.
01:09:40You are.
01:09:41You hijacked a program you didn't understand.
01:09:45And then when your ego wasn't enough, you propped up this fraud.
01:09:52Taking his side, dad?
01:09:54I'm your son.
01:09:55I'm taking the side of truth.
01:09:58And so will the board.
01:09:59We will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning.
01:10:02Until then, both of you are suspended from all surgical and administrative duties.
01:10:07Suspended?
01:10:08No, no, no, you can't do that.
01:10:09You don't understand the politics of running a hospital.
01:10:11We understand the liability.
01:10:13That's enough.
01:10:16Mr. Preston Vale, Dr. David Marksman, come with us.
01:10:21Dad, you're not going to let them drag me out like this.
01:10:23I'm your son!
01:10:24No, don't you touch me.
01:10:26You're not a child.
01:10:27Hey, dad!
01:10:28Hey, look, I've built that!
01:10:29You son of a...
01:10:31Get away!
01:10:32Get away!
01:10:33I'm just a...
01:10:33I'm not a child!
01:10:35You're not my responsibility!
01:10:44Adrian, please.
01:10:45I made a mistake.
01:10:46I see that now.
01:10:47I should have believed in you.
01:10:49I should have stood by you.
01:10:51You were right about everything.
01:10:54Just give me a second chance.
01:10:58Please.
01:10:59I still love you.
01:11:03Love, you traded him the second someone flashier walked by.
01:11:06You don't understand.
01:11:08I thought he was finished.
01:11:10I thought he had nothing left.
01:11:12So you sold him out.
01:11:14Mocked him.
01:11:16Over and over again.
01:11:18I was scared.
01:11:19I...
01:11:19I didn't know what to do.
01:11:21Oh, you knew.
01:11:22You just didn't care.
01:11:24Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser.
01:11:28Please.
01:11:30Say something.
01:11:32Anything.
01:11:33You had your chance, Fiona.
01:11:35And you spent it holding Preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive.
01:11:39You always belonged in my operating room.
01:11:50And I should have fought harder to keep you if I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes.
01:11:56The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board.
01:12:01And David will never go near another patient again.
01:12:04Listen, we're rebuilding.
01:12:06And I want you back as Vale's chief of experimental surgery.
01:12:13I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.
01:12:15You had your chance, too.
01:12:17I'm not the same man that you fired.
01:12:20Well, all the more reason we need you back at Vale.
01:12:24Adrian 2.0.
01:12:25I'm not coming, man.
01:12:29You're choosing her?
01:12:30Our rival?
01:12:32You arrogant little ingrate.
01:12:34I open the door for you and you slam it in my face.
01:12:38Just typical.
01:12:40Just when you had your moment, you turned your back on it for, for what, her?
01:12:45She's just going to use you up and bust you aside like everyone else.
01:12:49Oh, rejecting much, Nelson.
01:12:52Get me out of here.
01:12:54Now!
01:12:54Now!
01:12:54Karma has good timing.
01:13:12Speaking of timing, we should get back to work.
01:13:19We have lives to save.
01:13:20Hey!
01:13:21Not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.
01:13:26I still owe you that extra special bonus.
01:13:31Now?
01:13:31Well, just in a time like the present.
01:13:41This is what a good jury tastes like.
01:13:44It's not bad.
01:13:45I need a second opinion.
01:13:49Well, I've got all night.
01:13:50And you're not leaving this room until I properly celebrated my genius surgeon.
01:13:56Should I be afraid of a performance review?
01:13:58Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.
01:14:15Besides meeting you, of course.
01:14:16I'm not leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this room until I'm leaving this
