Short filmTranscript
00:00:00A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured
00:00:07patients flooding into Bale Hospital's emergency department. The fate of these accident victims
00:00:12now rests in the hands of Bale's surgical team, their last hope for survival in the face of
00:00:18devastating trauma. Facials crashing, we need an attending surgeon now! All the hours are full,
00:00:24we got three more criticals incoming. Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding. Well, I can't leave
00:00:29this one. Where's Dr. Stevens? We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the EOR.
00:00:47Need a hand? A new hire. You just started this month. Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready
00:00:58for a level one trauma like this? The patient's pressure is dropping. Then prove yourself,
00:01:02Dr. Marksman. The patient's yours. Okay, we are going to perform a modified whipple. Whipple? For trauma?
00:01:14For trauma? That's insane. Trust me. Mets and bomb scissors. Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:26That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive.
00:01:29gadget will take hours. Bovey Cottery. Watch.
00:01:39He's doing it in half the normal time. The bleeding it's under control, but how did he–
00:01:46tilk suture.
00:01:50Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:02:01I've never seen anything like this.
00:02:04Almost done.
00:02:13This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:20Jesus, Adrian.
00:02:25What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:02:28I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but that, that was the most incredible technique
00:02:33I've ever witnessed.
00:02:34Where did you learn to operate like that?
00:02:36What you just did will go down in the history books.
00:02:39Wait.
00:02:40I heard President Bale personally recruited a medical prodigy who revolutionized surgical
00:02:45procedures at Mass General.
00:02:47Is that you?
00:02:50Final suture.
00:02:56Miss Bale's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:03:03Doctor.
00:03:05The nurses, they said you did it.
00:03:09And you, you actually did.
00:03:11Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.
00:03:17Every surgeon on the West Coast said it was inoperable, that she only had weeks to live,
00:03:21but you, you saved my Catherine.
00:03:26She'll make a full recovery, President Bale.
00:03:28Name your price, whatever it is.
00:03:30We need you at Bale.
00:03:31My hospital.
00:03:35Look, I'll explain later.
00:03:36Right now we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.
00:03:40It's going to take hours.
00:03:42Y'all should go home, get some rest.
00:03:44I'll take over from here.
00:03:46Okay.
00:03:48Good work, everyone.
00:03:50Good work, everyone.
00:03:54They're all stable.
00:04:21Every single one of them, stabilized.
00:04:29Oh, the sun's coming up.
00:04:32You must have operated all night.
00:04:34You're a machine.
00:04:35Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
00:04:38All right.
00:04:40It's time for some much-needed Shaddai.
00:04:42Hey, you.
00:05:01Hey, yourself.
00:05:04I've been operating all night.
00:05:06I've seen every single patient in that pileup.
00:05:08What you did was extraordinary.
00:05:12How do you always know exactly what I needed?
00:05:16Because I know you.
00:05:18Better than anyone.
00:05:25Blueberry.
00:05:26Your favorite.
00:05:28You remembered.
00:05:29Where's your dad?
00:05:30You know, I've been thinking lately about us.
00:05:36I know it's only been a month, but...
00:05:39It just feels different.
00:05:48It's the third time this week.
00:05:51Hospital food's better than someone else's.
00:05:53Hmm.
00:05:54So who's this marksman guy?
00:05:56His surgical skills are unreal.
00:05:58Sure.
00:05:58I thought he was just another new hire.
00:06:00I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:06:04With a town like this,
00:06:05you'd think that he'd be running his own department right now.
00:06:14What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?
00:06:17Last I checked,
00:06:18I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.
00:06:21Who is this guy?
00:06:26Preston Vail.
00:06:27Preston Vail's son.
00:06:28Harvard MBA.
00:06:29He's taking over as hospital administrator
00:06:31while his father takes care of his wife
00:06:32who just recovered from an experimental
00:06:34pancreatic duodenectomy.
00:06:37I'm sorry.
00:06:38Am I looking at two board-certified surgeons
00:06:40or med school dropouts?
00:06:43Hard to tell based on your behavior.
00:06:46Sir, about that...
00:06:47Save it!
00:06:49Parker.
00:06:49You couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:06:54You're fired.
00:06:55Clear out your office.
00:06:57New management means new standards.
00:07:00It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.
00:07:04Attention.
00:07:06Everybody's attention now.
00:07:08If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs,
00:07:11every surgery must be perfect.
00:07:14No complications, no deaths.
00:07:17This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:07:22Who's he thinking is?
00:07:22Dr. House?
00:07:23What is this?
00:07:27Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:07:30Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:07:34This is a hospital.
00:07:36We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
00:07:40That was from my residency direction.
00:07:42Oh, cry me, a river.
00:07:44Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients
00:07:46and a little less time collecting gold stars,
00:07:49you'd be a real doctor.
00:07:51You're fired.
00:07:52Excuse me?
00:07:53Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop
00:07:55just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.
00:07:58Yes, sir.
00:07:59Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?
00:08:02That was good.
00:08:04Let's go.
00:08:09Well, well, well.
00:08:11What do we have here?
00:08:13Sleeping after a shift?
00:08:16Rise and shine, superstar.
00:08:22Did I order a wake-up call?
00:08:24No, you didn't.
00:08:26But here's one anyway.
00:08:27You are fired.
00:08:29Are you serious?
00:08:33You're firing me?
00:08:35Do you need me to draw you a diagram, doctor?
00:08:38Well, no, but there must be some sort of mistake.
00:08:41Fiona, what's his position here?
00:08:43He's a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.
00:08:49What's he make?
00:08:50$700,000.
00:08:52That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
00:08:54$700?
00:08:55Are you insane?
00:08:57You're giving resident money to a first year
00:08:59who sleeps on the job?
00:09:00This hospital is being scammed.
00:09:02I just worked all night.
00:09:04Okay, I'm just taking a nap.
00:09:06Oh, so now you're expecting overtime pay?
00:09:09Seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.
00:09:12What were you thinking, hiring this fraud?
00:09:15Either you're as dumb as these hack surgeons,
00:09:17or this is some sort of insurance scam.
00:09:20Adrian and I might be sleeping together,
00:09:23but I can't let him drag me down.
00:09:25My career comes first.
00:09:27Boy, bye.
00:09:28There must be some clerical error.
00:09:31His credentials.
00:09:33Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:09:36Fiona?
00:09:38Dr. Marksman,
00:09:41you are F-I-R-E-D fired.
00:09:46Clear out your office.
00:09:48Clear out your locker.
00:09:50You'll get the hell out of my hospital.
00:09:51This is a mistake, okay?
00:09:54You need to check the surgical law.
00:09:55You don't get to wear that.
00:09:57I see.
00:10:06Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:10:09You don't understand.
00:10:10He's the one who...
00:10:11Didn't I fire you two already?
00:10:13Beat it.
00:10:14Vail is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:10:17Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:10:18I understand.
00:10:38Hospital politics.
00:10:40Look, I know it's only been a month,
00:10:42but there is something real between us.
00:10:45Meet me in the lobby after your shift.
00:10:46I'll be waiting.
00:10:56You care to explain that little exchange?
00:11:03The board won't like this.
00:11:05Four attendings dismissed in one day.
00:11:08Patient care will suffer.
00:11:09Fear is a weapon, Fiona.
00:11:11I intend to wield it.
00:11:13Or perhaps you're more concerned with one surgeon in particular.
00:11:18Your little scam artist situation ship.
00:11:20No, Preston.
00:11:22He means nothing to me.
00:11:23Really.
00:11:24I have no personal stake in your staffing decision.
00:11:26Let's be clear about your future here.
00:11:29Do you want to be with the nobody collecting unemployment checks?
00:11:33Or the man who signs everyone's paychecks, including yours?
00:11:39The man who signs everyone's paychecks.
00:11:42Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded who's in charge around here.
00:11:56Hey, Dad.
00:11:57What's wrong?
00:11:58Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.
00:12:00She'll be okay, but I need you to take full control of the hospital.
00:12:04And Preston, there's something critical you need to know.
00:12:08Of course.
00:12:08What is it?
00:12:09That new surgeon, Dr. Marksman.
00:12:12Whatever happens, make sure you take care of him.
00:12:15Dr. Marksman?
00:12:16Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired.
00:12:19Get out of my hospital.
00:12:21Christ.
00:12:22The resident I just fired?
00:12:25Preston?
00:12:26Are you there?
00:12:28Check the staff roster.
00:12:30See if we have another Marksman working for us here.
00:12:32I had to back up the Brinks truck to get him here.
00:12:38He's a surgeon who saved your mother's life.
00:12:40And he's pioneering our experimental surgery program.
00:12:44The hospital's reputation rests on his work.
00:12:53Ah, yes.
00:12:54I see now there's another surgeon attending with that name.
00:12:57Dr. Marksman, pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
00:13:01Two-time Florence Nightingale, medal recipient for medical excellence.
00:13:05Three-times Apex award winner for clinical research.
00:13:08Is this who you mean, Dad?
00:13:09That's our man.
00:13:10There's another surgeon with the same last name who's been a disaster for us.
00:13:15Negligent, lazy, you name it.
00:13:17Do me a favor.
00:13:18Fire him.
00:13:20Already done, Dad.
00:13:21I fired his slacker ass this morning.
00:13:24Thank God.
00:13:25Almost thought I fired our star surgeon.
00:13:27Good work, son.
00:13:29I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
00:13:33Just, uh, just take care of Mom, all right?
00:13:35I got everything else under control.
00:13:36See?
00:13:44Told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless.
00:13:48Now, about your career trajectory.
00:13:52Mr. Vale, sir.
00:13:53Can't you see I'm busy?
00:13:55Multiple traumas incoming.
00:13:56The six-car pileup.
00:13:57You fired half our surgery team.
00:13:59What's your point?
00:14:00ER is crashing.
00:14:02We've no one left who can handle it.
00:14:03Give me the situation.
00:14:11Now.
00:14:12Six critical traumas, three more incoming.
00:14:15Multiple crush injuries, arterial bleed, sir.
00:14:18We're losing patients.
00:14:20What are our options?
00:14:21There might be one solution.
00:14:23Well, spit it out.
00:14:25Dr. Marksman.
00:14:26He handled four critical traumas alone last night.
00:14:28If we can get him back here.
00:14:30Marksman.
00:14:31Right.
00:14:31That's the man we need.
00:14:32Fiona, call him.
00:14:33Which Dr. Marksman should I?
00:14:36The genius surgeon.
00:14:37The one I didn't fire.
00:14:38Keep up.
00:14:43The hell?
00:14:45Where'd all this stuff go?
00:14:46The idiot left us research notes.
00:15:04Mmm.
00:15:06Modified trauma protocol.
00:15:08Wait.
00:15:10These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:15:12Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:15:14Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:15:20Hello?
00:15:21Dr. Marksman?
00:15:22Multiple critical traumas in the ER.
00:15:25Preston Vale says if you can handle this crisis, there's a monster promotion waiting.
00:15:28I'm on my way.
00:15:30With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.
00:15:37They'll make me department head.
00:15:40And I can finally make seven figures.
00:15:48Well?
00:15:49Dr. Marksman's on his way.
00:15:50Thank God.
00:15:52Thank God.
00:16:01Now, about your loyalty.
00:16:05Adrian meant nothing.
00:16:06I was using him to advance my career.
00:16:10You're my future.
00:16:11That's my girl.
00:16:20Beyond a shift in an hour ago, the boss's son is up to something.
00:16:26To hell with this.
00:16:27I'm going up.
00:16:27Piece of shit.
00:16:47Get your hand off my girl.
00:16:51Oh, just knock it off, Adrian.
00:16:53You mean to tell me that the brilliant surgeon can't see what's been happening under his own nose?
00:16:58You mean to tell me that you've been messing around with this incompetent Nepo baby?
00:17:02I can choose who I want.
00:17:03And I don't want to disgrace surgeon with no future.
00:17:06You pathetic loser.
00:17:23We're done, Adrian.
00:17:25Ancient history.
00:17:26Are you serious?
00:17:29Just like that.
00:17:31Sorry that this bum wrinkled your jacket, sir.
00:17:36Why are you doing this, Fiona?
00:17:38Am I just a stepping stone to you?
00:17:40I need someone with a future.
00:17:42Not someone who sleeps while patients are dying.
00:17:45Keep it for when you get lonely and horny.
00:17:51It's the closest you'll ever come to the real thing again.
00:17:54Oh, look at us, Adrian.
00:18:00I'm the future of Vail Hospital.
00:18:03And you?
00:18:06Just a slacker.
00:18:08And scrubs.
00:18:09You're washed up, marksman.
00:18:11Perhaps try nursing?
00:18:13I hear they're always hiring.
00:18:15Fiona, I met you here and it made me want to stay.
00:18:18I thought we could build a family together.
00:18:22Get over yourself.
00:18:24You think I'm going to stay with someone who lied about their credentials?
00:18:28President Vail would never have hired someone who sleeps during shifts.
00:18:32We're done.
00:18:36I'm not done.
00:18:38But when I am, there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.
00:18:43You can count on that.
00:18:47No, no, no.
00:18:48Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.
00:18:50Your troubles are just getting started.
00:18:56Who authorized you to be here?
00:18:58Mr. Vail, I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision,
00:19:01we've stabilized all the patients from the multi-car accident,
00:19:05and the situation is completely under control.
00:19:08You're Dr. Marksman.
00:19:10Ah, yes.
00:19:10The very same.
00:19:11My father mentioned your exceptional credentials.
00:19:15Harvard Medical, was it?
00:19:17These morons have no idea I'm taking credit for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.
00:19:23As long as the boss's son is impressed,
00:19:25I'll be chief of surgery by next month.
00:19:27Mr. Vail, I've identified who's responsible for all the issues in OR3 today.
00:19:33He was sleeping while a patient almost died on the table.
00:19:37Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
00:19:39Dr. Hart.
00:19:49Incredible news.
00:19:51Dr. Adrian Marksman, that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking,
00:19:55he's just been terminated from Vail Hospital.
00:19:59When?
00:19:59Less than an hour ago.
00:20:01Dismissed by President Vail's son.
00:20:04Huh.
00:20:06Amazing.
00:20:06I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face when he discovers that his Price Surgeon
00:20:12was fired by his submental son.
00:20:15With, uh, respect, we're still establishing our reputation.
00:20:19Would someone of Marksman's caliber even consider joining us?
00:20:23We'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:20:26Full department autonomy,
00:20:29research funding,
00:20:30state-of-the-art facilities,
00:20:32and, if necessary,
00:20:34my personal involvement.
00:20:38His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.
00:20:42Have my car brought round.
00:20:44I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.
00:20:47And Adrian Marksman,
00:20:48he's leaving with me.
00:20:50What kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:20:59Now, don't insult our intelligence.
00:21:01A patient coded while you were off taking a nap.
00:21:04The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental.
00:21:06Yet you stand there denying it.
00:21:07This is crazy.
00:21:09You've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon,
00:21:11and when a complication occurs,
00:21:13which happened in this hospital
00:21:15under your incompetent leadership,
00:21:17you blame me.
00:21:21The collective medical knowledge in this room
00:21:23isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.
00:21:26If you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be,
00:21:29you would still have a job.
00:21:32I'm not going to stand here and debate medicine
00:21:34with you in front of Mr. Vail.
00:21:35Security, please detain him.
00:21:37What exactly are you accusing me of?
00:21:45Either confess to medical malfeasance,
00:21:48or they'll escort you to the police
00:21:50for criminal negligence.
00:21:52Adrian, I never realized
00:21:54you were capable of endangering patients.
00:21:57What other medical atrocities have you committed?
00:21:59You better confess now,
00:22:01or we'll do everything in your power
00:22:02to make sure you lose your medical license.
00:22:05Come on.
00:22:07Go ahead.
00:22:08Do your worst.
00:22:10Let's see if a single piece of evidence
00:22:11holds up in front of the medical board.
00:22:14You really underestimate
00:22:17my family's influence, don't you?
00:22:19Don't you realize that Mr. Vail here
00:22:21can end your entire career with one phone call?
00:22:24Sir, I strongly recommend
00:22:26that we make an example out of him.
00:22:28After all, he'll be a danger to his patients
00:22:29wherever he goes.
00:22:31Preston, you can't let him walk away after this.
00:22:34Not after what he did to our patients.
00:22:36I'm contacting the medical board right now.
00:22:40As of this moment,
00:22:41Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted from Vail Hospital
00:22:44and every medical institute in the country.
00:22:47Plans in motion, Adrian.
00:22:49Do you know what that means?
00:22:51It means that you will never practice medicine
00:22:53in this country again.
00:22:54I have one question before I go.
00:22:59Does your father know you fired me?
00:23:02My father's the one who asked me to fire you,
00:23:04you dipshit.
00:23:07You thought you were some brilliant surgical god,
00:23:10didn't you?
00:23:12Security, remove this criminal
00:23:13from hospital property immediately.
00:23:15Immediately.
00:23:16Yes, doctor.
00:23:17Right away, sir.
00:23:18That's quite enough.
00:23:34Let him go.
00:23:36Dr. Marksman is about to accept the position
00:23:39as Chief of Surgical Innovation
00:23:42at Heart Medical Center.
00:23:45I know you.
00:23:47You're Vivian Hart,
00:23:49the surgical upstart
00:23:50from that medical clinic across town.
00:23:52That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you,
00:23:55Mr. Vail.
00:23:56Vivian,
00:23:57I haven't seen you since the John Hopkins Symposium
00:23:59like four or five years ago.
00:24:01What are you doing here?
00:24:03Well, I'm here for the most innovative surgeon
00:24:05in the country, of course.
00:24:08Wait.
00:24:09Are you seriously suggesting
00:24:10this negligent doctor has value?
00:24:13He was sleeping during rounds.
00:24:14Is this how Vail Hospital
00:24:16discards its exceptional talent?
00:24:19Your father built this institution's reputation
00:24:21of medical excellence,
00:24:24not petty politics.
00:24:26Dr. Hart,
00:24:28with all due respect...
00:24:29This is a conversation
00:24:30between medical directors,
00:24:31someone in your position
00:24:33should recognize
00:24:33when to maintain silence.
00:24:35Dr. Hart,
00:24:36I must inform you
00:24:37that Dr. Marksman
00:24:38represents a serious liability.
00:24:41He compromised patient safety and...
00:24:43I don't believe I requested
00:24:44your medical opinion, Dr...
00:24:46Marksman.
00:24:47David Marksman.
00:24:48I have neither time nor interest
00:24:50in your assessment.
00:24:53After he decided to go to sleep,
00:24:56we had a critical surgical complication.
00:24:59His negligence led to the problem.
00:25:01His actions not only endangered patients,
00:25:03it compromised my hospital's reputation.
00:25:07Are you really willing to defend someone
00:25:09who violates the Hippocratic Oath?
00:25:12Did you actually consult with your father
00:25:14before dismissing Dr. Marksman?
00:25:16Of course I consulted my father.
00:25:20He's the one who specifically mentioned
00:25:22his dangerous surgical shortcuts
00:25:23and inflated reputation.
00:25:25Dangerous shortcuts?
00:25:26Is that what President Vail really said?
00:25:30His exact words were,
00:25:31remove him at first opportunity.
00:25:34President Vail was the one that recruited me.
00:25:35This makes absolutely no sense.
00:25:37Please, Adrian.
00:25:38The president wouldn't personally recruit
00:25:40a mid-level surgeon like you.
00:25:43Those gala invitations
00:25:44were professional courtesy,
00:25:47not genuine respect.
00:25:48Well, if that's the way things work at Vail,
00:25:50I have nothing more to contribute
00:25:51to any of you.
00:25:53Dr. Marksman,
00:25:55would you consider joining
00:25:56Heart Medical Center
00:25:57as our chief of surgery?
00:26:00Well, I've...
00:26:01Full department autonomy,
00:26:03protected research time,
00:26:05a surgical fellowship in your name,
00:26:07and a seven-figure salary package.
00:26:10And a seven-figure salary package.
00:26:37And cash.
00:26:42Dr. Marksman,
00:26:44I want you to revolutionize
00:26:45our surgery program.
00:26:47Hopefully this shows you.
00:26:49I mean what I say.
00:26:57Chief of surgery?
00:27:01You're offering all this to
00:27:02a surgeon who can't even
00:27:04keep his eyes open on the job?
00:27:05Dr. Hart,
00:27:06have you completely lost
00:27:08your medical judgment
00:27:08or are you on drugs?
00:27:10This is absurd.
00:27:12He was a mediocre surgeon
00:27:13here at Vail.
00:27:14And now you're positioning him
00:27:16to lead your entire
00:27:17surgical department?
00:27:20Medical board should review
00:27:21your hiring practices.
00:27:25Vivian,
00:27:26I appreciate your confidence.
00:27:29This isn't about money.
00:27:32Maybe there's something beyond
00:27:33professional opportunity
00:27:35that might interest you.
00:27:37She's offering herself up to him.
00:27:39She can't do that.
00:27:40Are you a doctor
00:27:41or a call girl?
00:27:43At Hart Medical Center,
00:27:44you will be given
00:27:45everything a surgeon
00:27:46of your caliber deserves.
00:27:48Including
00:27:49a boss that would do
00:27:51absolutely anything
00:27:52to recognize your value.
00:27:54And I do mean anything,
00:27:55Dr. Marksman.
00:27:56Dr. Hart.
00:27:59For the sake of your own reputation,
00:28:01you need to know
00:28:01that this hack
00:28:02you're so eagerly pursuing
00:28:04has a documented history
00:28:05of negligence.
00:28:07My father confirmed it himself.
00:28:09Is that precisely
00:28:10what Nelson Bale told you?
00:28:12His exact words.
00:28:15Negligence, Serge.
00:28:16What are those?
00:28:17personal gifts
00:28:21from your father?
00:28:24My fellowship offer?
00:28:27My personal research lab?
00:28:29My surgical team?
00:28:30I'm leaving it all behind.
00:28:34You can tell
00:28:35President Vail
00:28:35that as of this moment,
00:28:37Dr. Marksman
00:28:37has permanently withdrawn
00:28:39from Vail Hospital
00:28:41and all of its
00:28:42affiliated institutions.
00:28:44You know what?
00:28:44Spare us the theatrics,
00:28:46Adrian.
00:28:46You never deserve
00:28:47those privileges
00:28:48in the first place.
00:28:49The medical board
00:28:51is going to see
00:28:51that justice is done.
00:28:53Oh.
00:28:54Your stupidity,
00:28:56it's just
00:28:56astonishing.
00:28:58You treat pioneering surgeons
00:29:00like disposable scalpels.
00:29:02This man
00:29:03is a life-saving artist.
00:29:09Dr. Hart,
00:29:10I understand
00:29:11there's some competition
00:29:12between your center
00:29:13and Vail Hospital.
00:29:14Yeah.
00:29:15Look, I'll be real.
00:29:16We're struggling
00:29:17to get out
00:29:17from under their shadow.
00:29:19Look, I'd be happy
00:29:19to help you out with that.
00:29:21Take me on,
00:29:22and I'll transform Hart
00:29:23into the number one
00:29:24surgical institution
00:29:25in the country.
00:29:28Look at yourself, Adrian.
00:29:30Offering your skills
00:29:31to a struggling clinic.
00:29:33How pathetically desperate.
00:29:35Oh.
00:29:36A backstabbing bottom feeder
00:29:38like you
00:29:39has absolutely no right
00:29:40to judge a surgeon
00:29:41of his caliber.
00:29:42How dare you
00:29:43talk to me like that!
00:29:45Your malpractice
00:29:46has caused
00:29:46catastrophic damage
00:29:48to my hospital's reputation.
00:29:51As the responsible party,
00:29:52I demand that you
00:29:53issue a formal apology
00:29:55to one of the major
00:29:56medical journals
00:29:57and with an explanation
00:29:58to every affected
00:30:00Vail Hospital patient.
00:30:02Refuse me,
00:30:04and I will ensure
00:30:05that the medical board
00:30:06revokes your license
00:30:07permanently.
00:30:07That accusation
00:30:09isn't just baseness.
00:30:10It's absurd.
00:30:12What exactly do you think
00:30:13you're gonna do about it?
00:30:14You've got no choice
00:30:15but to sign this confession.
00:30:17Oh, stop threatening
00:30:18my chief surgeon.
00:30:19If you insist
00:30:20on pursuing this vendetta,
00:30:22have your attorney
00:30:22send a formal complaint
00:30:24to Hart Medical Center.
00:30:25We'll consider it
00:30:26nothing less
00:30:27than a declaration
00:30:28of total war.
00:30:30If it's war you want,
00:30:32I will obliterate
00:30:34your dime store clinic
00:30:35with everything
00:30:36that I've got.
00:30:36Let's go.
00:30:39One more second
00:30:40and this cesspool
00:30:41is gonna make me
00:30:41physically ill.
00:30:51Mr. Vail,
00:30:52don't you waste
00:30:53another precious moment
00:30:54on those
00:30:55secondary practitioners.
00:30:57David,
00:30:58you've proven
00:30:58your loyalty.
00:31:00The chief of surgery
00:31:01position is yours,
00:31:02effective immediately.
00:31:04This is,
00:31:05this is extraordinary.
00:31:06I,
00:31:07thank you.
00:31:08I,
00:31:08I,
00:31:08I am honored
00:31:11beyond words.
00:31:13Don't forget about me,
00:31:14Preston.
00:31:16Don't worry, babe.
00:31:17You will be
00:31:18thoroughly compensated
00:31:20for your loyalty.
00:31:21How exciting.
00:31:24Mr. Vail,
00:31:25I swear on my medical oath
00:31:27that I will not
00:31:28disappoint you.
00:31:30Mr. Vail,
00:31:31a commuter train derailed
00:31:32six critical patients
00:31:33incoming.
00:31:34Dr. Marksman,
00:31:35OR1 now.
00:31:36Now's your time to shine,
00:31:37Dr. Marksman.
00:31:38Shit,
00:31:39I'm screwed.
00:31:39Adrian's surgical journal
00:31:40with all his proprietary
00:31:42techniques is still
00:31:43in my office.
00:31:44If Preston finds out,
00:31:45I stole it
00:31:46and then couldn't
00:31:46even use it properly.
00:31:47I implemented
00:31:50a groundbreaking
00:31:52surgical protocol
00:31:53that I invented myself.
00:31:54These techniques
00:31:55are revolutionary.
00:31:57I'll walk you through it
00:31:58in detail
00:31:58after the emergency.
00:32:00It's impressive,
00:32:01Dr. Marksman.
00:32:02You've obviously got
00:32:03your own methodology.
00:32:04No need to bore me
00:32:05with the specifics.
00:32:06I trust your brilliance.
00:32:08Keep up the good work,
00:32:09Dr. Marksman.
00:32:09With you leading
00:32:10my surgical team,
00:32:11I can focus
00:32:12on what really matters.
00:32:14Hospital expansion.
00:32:17Again, sir,
00:32:18I'm deeply honored.
00:32:25Behold,
00:32:26Vail Hospital's
00:32:27new chief of surgery.
00:32:29Let's see how
00:32:29all these condescending
00:32:30clowns treat me now.
00:32:35Glad you're feeling
00:32:36better, honey.
00:32:38Yeah.
00:32:38Well,
00:32:39sorry,
00:32:40who's this?
00:32:41Nelson Vail speaking.
00:32:46President Vail,
00:32:47Dr. Vivian Hart here.
00:32:49I am calling
00:32:50to let you know
00:32:51that as of this morning,
00:32:52Hart Medical Center
00:32:53has officially entered
00:32:54the experimental
00:32:55surgery arena.
00:32:56Revolutionary surgical
00:32:58procedures are
00:32:59Vail Hospital's domain.
00:33:01Are you absolutely
00:33:02certain you want
00:33:03to pick this fight?
00:33:04This is merely
00:33:05a professional
00:33:06courtesy call,
00:33:07not an invitation
00:33:08for debate.
00:33:09Now, just...
00:33:10what is that conniving
00:33:16bitch plotting?
00:33:18She knows
00:33:18Adrian
00:33:19is our
00:33:20surgical secret weapon.
00:33:22Why would she
00:33:23deliberately provoke
00:33:24a medical war
00:33:25she has
00:33:25absolutely no chance
00:33:26of winning?
00:33:27unless...
00:33:28Dad, we've got
00:33:37multiple traumas
00:33:38coming in.
00:33:38Just tell me
00:33:39you didn't fire
00:33:40Dr. Marksman.
00:33:42Dad, relax.
00:33:44Fire the other one,
00:33:45that incompetent
00:33:46slacker resident
00:33:47that you mentioned.
00:33:48Then explain to me
00:33:49why Hart Medical Center
00:33:51believes they can
00:33:52suddenly challenge
00:33:53our surgical supremacy.
00:33:54Because I
00:33:57masterfully led
00:33:58Vivian Hart
00:33:59into a false
00:33:59sense of reality.
00:34:01There's no way
00:34:01a mediocre doctor
00:34:02can revolutionize
00:34:03surgical procedures.
00:34:04I convinced Vivian
00:34:06that she's acquired
00:34:07surgical brilliance,
00:34:08but in reality,
00:34:10she's hired
00:34:10our disgraced,
00:34:11discarded loser.
00:34:13So you deliberately
00:34:14manipulated Vivian?
00:34:15She thinks she's hired
00:34:17the genius
00:34:18behind Vail Hospital's
00:34:19groundbreaking procedures.
00:34:21That's why she had
00:34:21the audacity
00:34:22to declare war on you.
00:34:23Impressive, son.
00:34:25You're finally showing
00:34:26some of the leadership
00:34:27qualities.
00:34:27I've been waiting
00:34:28to see out of you.
00:34:29I think you're ready
00:34:30to take complete control
00:34:32of our experimental
00:34:33surgical division.
00:34:36Dad, this is everything
00:34:38I've worked for.
00:34:40We'll get to work
00:34:40immediately.
00:34:41We're going to expose
00:34:43Hart Medical Center.
00:34:45for the low-grade
00:34:47institution it truly is.
00:34:49Their humiliation
00:34:50will be quick
00:34:51and absolute.
00:34:53I won't let you down.
00:34:55Darling,
00:34:57surgical innovation
00:34:58is the future of Vail.
00:35:00Preston only got
00:35:00his MBA last year.
00:35:02Do you really think
00:35:03it's wise to entrust him
00:35:04with our most
00:35:05prestigious program?
00:35:06I would never take
00:35:08a risk like this
00:35:09if Preston was
00:35:10our only asset.
00:35:12Remember,
00:35:12we have the ultimate
00:35:14surgical secret weapon.
00:35:16You mean the surgeon
00:35:17that saved my life?
00:35:19Dr. Adrian Marksman.
00:35:21Exactly.
00:35:22And all I need to do
00:35:24is stay hands-off
00:35:26and let him
00:35:28exercise his
00:35:29extraordinary talents.
00:35:30as long as Adrian
00:35:32is with Vail Hospital,
00:35:35Hart Medical Center
00:35:36has no chance
00:35:37of competing.
00:35:39Not only that,
00:35:40Vivian fell
00:35:41for Preston's manipulation
00:35:42and hired that
00:35:43medical disaster,
00:35:45Dr. David Marksman.
00:35:48What we have to do now
00:35:49is sit back
00:35:51and watch her
00:35:52would-be empire
00:35:54crumble.
00:35:55So,
00:36:02now that you've seen
00:36:03the surgical department,
00:36:04what do you think?
00:36:07It's not bad.
00:36:09It's a small team,
00:36:10but they're talented.
00:36:11What you've built here,
00:36:13it's impressive, Viv.
00:36:17It's good to see you again
00:36:18after all these years,
00:36:19Adrian.
00:36:20You too.
00:36:22We need to expand.
00:36:23it's too small
00:36:25for what I'm planning.
00:36:27So,
00:36:28I heard
00:36:30you weren't
00:36:30the only surgeon
00:36:31Preston Vail fired.
00:36:36We have all the angles
00:36:38figured out,
00:36:38don't you?
00:36:39And I always find
00:36:40the best one.
00:36:49I'm gonna start recruiting.
00:36:52Good.
00:36:53The faster we rise,
00:36:56the more rewarding
00:36:58this partnership becomes.
00:37:12This better be good.
00:37:14Mr. Vail,
00:37:16you wanted to see me?
00:37:17My father
00:37:22has granted me
00:37:23complete authority
00:37:24over our experimental
00:37:25surgical department.
00:37:27Given your new position
00:37:28as chief of surgery,
00:37:30I'm appointing you
00:37:31head of innovation.
00:37:32Mr. Vail,
00:37:33I, uh...
00:37:34Is there an issue
00:37:35with that?
00:37:35No,
00:37:36absolutely not.
00:37:38The budget for innovation
00:37:39is astronomical,
00:37:40and President Vail
00:37:41has already handed
00:37:42control to his son?
00:37:43If I oversee
00:37:45these procedures,
00:37:46I could divert
00:37:47significant resources
00:37:48to my personal research.
00:37:50Mr. Vail,
00:37:51you can trust me completely.
00:37:53I am precisely
00:37:54the right man
00:37:55for the job.
00:37:58Preston,
00:37:59we have a catastrophe
00:38:00on our hands.
00:38:00Two attending surgeons
00:38:01just submitted
00:38:02their resignation
00:38:02simultaneously.
00:38:03The department
00:38:04can't possibly
00:38:04maintain its caseload.
00:38:05What?
00:38:06They both resigned
00:38:07at once?
00:38:07What was their explanation?
00:38:09They refused
00:38:09to disclose their reasons.
00:38:10But there's talk
00:38:11they were recruited
00:38:11by a former Vail physician,
00:38:13along with the three
00:38:14other surgeons
00:38:15you fired before.
00:38:16Former physician
00:38:17Adrian Marksman,
00:38:18this has his
00:38:18saboteur signature
00:38:19all over it.
00:38:21President,
00:38:21what's our contingency plan?
00:38:23The surgical department
00:38:23is severely understaffed.
00:38:25If any more surgeons
00:38:26leave,
00:38:26patients will suffer.
00:38:28Okay, everybody
00:38:28needs to remain calm.
00:38:32You still have me.
00:38:34I can rebuild
00:38:35this department.
00:38:36Ah, yes.
00:38:37With your stellar reputation,
00:38:38we should be able
00:38:39to get the best
00:38:40of the best.
00:38:41Exactly.
00:38:42So we lost
00:38:43some second-rate talent.
00:38:44Let him go.
00:38:47I'll make some calls
00:38:48to Cedar Sinai
00:38:49and UCLA.
00:38:52Good work, Marksman.
00:38:57This is working out perfectly.
00:38:58Now I can install
00:38:59my own allies
00:39:00in key positions.
00:39:02Soon,
00:39:02I'll control
00:39:03the entire hospital's
00:39:04medical direction.
00:39:08It's an honor to meet you,
00:39:30Dr. Hart.
00:39:34This is Dr. Parker here.
00:39:36He's a triple-board
00:39:37certified surgeon.
00:39:38And soon,
00:39:39he'll be the head
00:39:39of trauma surgery.
00:39:41This is Dr. Rose,
00:39:42Chen,
00:39:43Rose,
00:39:44and Thomas,
00:39:45all consummate professionals.
00:39:47My most trusted colleagues
00:39:49back at Vail.
00:39:52With this surgical team,
00:39:54Hart Medical
00:39:55can revolutionize
00:39:56surgical care
00:39:57all across the country.
00:39:59Actually,
00:40:00the whole world.
00:40:01We're here to begin,
00:40:02Dr. Hart.
00:40:03Well,
00:40:04welcome to Hart Medical Center.
00:40:07I am thrilled
00:40:08to have surgeons
00:40:09of your caliber
00:40:10joining us,
00:40:11but
00:40:11I do need
00:40:12to be transparent.
00:40:14We have got
00:40:15considerable ground
00:40:16to cover
00:40:16before we can truly
00:40:17challenge
00:40:18Vail Hospital's dominance.
00:40:19Have no fear,
00:40:20Dr. Hart.
00:40:21With Adrian leading
00:40:22our team,
00:40:22we'll be three steps
00:40:23ahead of anything
00:40:25Vail attempts.
00:40:26Yes,
00:40:26but Vail
00:40:27has already implemented
00:40:28Adrian's breakthrough
00:40:30surgical procedure
00:40:31protocols.
00:40:31Yeah,
00:40:32about that.
00:40:34It's a preliminary version.
00:40:35If they continue
00:40:36to develop this approach
00:40:37without modification...
00:40:38Then what?
00:40:39A lot of deaths,
00:40:41a lot of lawsuits,
00:40:42a lot of patients
00:40:43could be harmed,
00:40:44or worse.
00:40:45These procedures
00:40:45weren't ready
00:40:46for widespread implementation
00:40:48without proper
00:40:48refinement.
00:40:49Those techniques
00:40:50require precise
00:40:51calibration
00:40:52and specialized
00:40:53training.
00:40:54Without that foundation...
00:40:55We're talking
00:40:56about serious
00:40:57complications,
00:40:59preventable harm.
00:40:59Our first priority
00:41:00has to be patient safety.
00:41:02We need to perfect
00:41:03these procedures,
00:41:05and then we can
00:41:05find a way
00:41:06to prevent Vail
00:41:07from continuing
00:41:07with the flawed
00:41:08protocols.
00:41:10Exactly.
00:41:10It's not about
00:41:11competition or pride.
00:41:13It's about saving lives.
00:41:17We're using our experience
00:41:18with the trial procedures
00:41:19I did at Vail
00:41:20to develop next-generation
00:41:22surgical techniques
00:41:23eliminating all the
00:41:25previous complications
00:41:26and inefficiencies.
00:41:28Even if Vail Hospital
00:41:29analyzes our fundamental
00:41:31approach and attempts
00:41:32to create something new,
00:41:33we'll maintain
00:41:34our significant advantage.
00:41:37And if they stubbornly
00:41:38continue with their
00:41:39flawed protocols,
00:41:40rest assured,
00:41:41their outcomes
00:41:42will deteriorate.
00:41:44I don't wish it
00:41:44upon their patients,
00:41:45that's for sure.
00:41:47Remember this moment.
00:41:49In this battle
00:41:49for medical supremacy,
00:41:51Heart Medical Center
00:41:52will emerge victorious.
00:41:53It's 3 a.m.
00:42:02Lost track of time again.
00:42:10Viv, you surprised me.
00:42:13Looks like you could
00:42:14use a nice rub.
00:42:16Do you mind?
00:42:18No.
00:42:20I mean, yeah.
00:42:22would you give
00:42:23all your surgeons
00:42:24massages?
00:42:26Only the ones
00:42:27I really, really like.
00:42:33You really, really like me?
00:42:36Adrienne, I've really,
00:42:37really liked you
00:42:37since residency.
00:42:40Nothing's changed.
00:42:42You were our most
00:42:43brilliant resident
00:42:44in the program.
00:42:45I never imagined
00:42:46someone like you
00:42:47would like me.
00:42:48There was never anyone else
00:42:49that got my attention.
00:42:50only you.
00:42:54But you were
00:42:55completely oblivious.
00:42:57And then you just
00:42:57vanished from the program.
00:43:00Well, I left to join
00:43:01the Experimental Surgical
00:43:02Fellowship
00:43:03in Switzerland.
00:43:05I know.
00:43:07Your talent
00:43:08was extraordinary
00:43:09even then.
00:43:11Back then,
00:43:12I made a promise
00:43:13to myself
00:43:13that we would work
00:43:14together again someday.
00:43:16You know,
00:43:16when I established
00:43:17Heart Medical Center,
00:43:18my first priority
00:43:20was recruiting you.
00:43:22But that
00:43:22manipulative tyrant,
00:43:25Nelson Vale,
00:43:26had already secured
00:43:27your contracts
00:43:28with ridiculous incentives.
00:43:31I understand now.
00:43:39So,
00:43:40should we
00:43:42pick up where
00:43:43we left off
00:43:44in residency?
00:43:45I hear the boss.
00:43:46That's right.
00:43:48And as your boss,
00:43:50I say,
00:43:51come home with me.
00:43:53Tonight?
00:43:54You lost everything
00:43:55when Preston fired you.
00:43:56Hospital privileges,
00:43:59research funding,
00:44:01even your hospital
00:44:02subsidized apartment.
00:44:06You have literally
00:44:07nowhere else
00:44:08to go tonight.
00:44:10Come with me.
00:44:13Where?
00:44:14My place.
00:44:24All right.
00:44:25I'll admit it.
00:44:27That was the best meal
00:44:28I've had in months.
00:44:29Careful,
00:44:30Dr. Marksman.
00:44:31I might start thinking
00:44:32you're easy to please.
00:44:34That just depends
00:44:35on the company.
00:44:36Well,
00:44:37starting tonight,
00:44:38this is your new home.
00:44:41Until the program's
00:44:42fully established,
00:44:43it just
00:44:43makes sense.
00:44:45Are you sure about that?
00:44:46We already work
00:44:47late hours.
00:44:49Living together
00:44:50could get complicated.
00:44:53Well,
00:44:53I like complicated.
00:44:55Keeps things interesting.
00:44:58And
00:44:58where exactly
00:45:00will I be sleeping?
00:45:01Well,
00:45:02my master suite
00:45:06has a
00:45:08California king.
00:45:09plenty of room
00:45:13if things ever
00:45:15need to get
00:45:16more
00:45:16collaborative.
00:45:20Really?
00:45:22Relax.
00:45:23I'm only teasing.
00:45:25Tonight,
00:45:26at least.
00:45:28Come on.
00:45:31I'll show you
00:45:32your room.
00:45:33unless you'd
00:45:35rather have
00:45:36a nightcap
00:45:36and mine.
00:45:44Things
00:45:45can get dangerous.
00:45:51Is this
00:45:52pathetic attempt
00:45:52really the best
00:45:53that you can do?
00:45:58You are
00:45:58completely
00:45:59worthless
00:46:00as surgeons.
00:46:01Dr. Marksman,
00:46:01the experimental
00:46:03procedures
00:46:04we're trying to
00:46:04replicate here
00:46:05are extraordinarily
00:46:06intricate.
00:46:07We need at least
00:46:07six months
00:46:08to properly
00:46:09master...
00:46:10Six months?
00:46:12You have
00:46:1272 hours
00:46:13and I expect
00:46:14hourly updates
00:46:15on my desk.
00:46:16Sir,
00:46:16brushing these
00:46:17delicate procedures
00:46:18dramatically increases
00:46:20the possibility
00:46:21of potentially
00:46:22fatal complications.
00:46:23Three days.
00:46:24Then you don't
00:46:24get one hour
00:46:25more.
00:46:26Go.
00:46:27Go.
00:46:27Go.
00:46:27Go.
00:46:27Go.
00:46:27Go.
00:46:27Go.
00:46:29Go.
00:46:29Go.
00:46:31Report,
00:46:32Dr. Marksman.
00:46:33What's our status?
00:46:34Excellent progress,
00:46:35Mr. Vale.
00:46:36We will be advancing
00:46:37to phase two
00:46:38implementation
00:46:39within three days.
00:46:40That's exactly
00:46:41what I wanted to hear.
00:46:42I knew my judgment
00:46:43in appointing you
00:46:44was flawless.
00:46:50Preston,
00:46:51I need an update
00:46:51on the experimental
00:46:52surgery program.
00:46:54Everything's proceeding
00:46:55perfectly, Father.
00:46:56Outstanding.
00:46:57When this is done,
00:46:58I'll throw you
00:46:59a huge party
00:47:00to celebrate
00:47:01the launch.
00:47:02Your father
00:47:02must be so proud
00:47:03of you.
00:47:04Keep up the good
00:47:05work, Dr. Marksman.
00:47:06I'll make sure
00:47:07my father understands
00:47:08your invaluable
00:47:09contribution.
00:47:10This is my shot.
00:47:12Why settle
00:47:12for chief of surgery?
00:47:13With the right
00:47:14maneuvering,
00:47:14I could become
00:47:15the next chief
00:47:15medical officer
00:47:16of Vale Hospital.
00:47:18Mr. Vale,
00:47:19my purpose
00:47:20is to execute
00:47:21the visionary
00:47:22medical strategies
00:47:23of brilliant
00:47:25administrators
00:47:26such as yourself.
00:47:27I believe
00:47:28that in the position
00:47:29of chief medical officer,
00:47:31I could implement
00:47:31your ideas
00:47:32more effectively
00:47:33throughout the
00:47:33entire hospital.
00:47:35If these procedures
00:47:36prove successful,
00:47:37I will personally
00:47:37discuss your advancement
00:47:38with the board.
00:47:39Truly,
00:47:40that's...
00:47:40I am profoundly
00:47:44grateful, sir.
00:47:53You're finally awake.
00:48:10You can keep
00:48:11appreciating the view
00:48:12while you eat.
00:48:13All right.
00:48:14Ooh, breakfast.
00:48:15Looks good.
00:48:20When you're
00:48:21finished eating,
00:48:21we'll head directly
00:48:22to the surgical wing.
00:48:23Sound good?
00:48:24Yes.
00:48:25Absolutely.
00:48:27Good.
00:48:28Get it up and running
00:48:30and there may be
00:48:31a special bonus
00:48:33waiting for you.
00:48:37Extra special.
00:48:46Okay, team.
00:48:47We're approaching
00:48:48a critical phase
00:48:49of our program
00:48:49development.
00:48:50We have
00:48:51groundbreaking procedures
00:48:52that we need to
00:48:53perfect in very little
00:48:54time, so let's get
00:48:56to it.
00:48:56Let's start
00:48:57revolutionizing medicine.
00:48:58I have excellent
00:49:00news for all of you.
00:49:01I've just finalized
00:49:02arrangements with the
00:49:03board, and upon
00:49:04successful implementation
00:49:06of our surgical
00:49:07innovations, each of
00:49:09you will receive a
00:49:10fully funded medical
00:49:11mission trip anywhere
00:49:12in the world that you
00:49:13choose to share your
00:49:14expertise.
00:49:14and when the time comes
00:49:17that our procedures
00:49:18receive national
00:49:19certification, every
00:49:21surgeon on this team
00:49:22will be gifted a
00:49:23percentage of the
00:49:24royalties from any
00:49:25techniques we patent.
00:49:28At Hart Medical Center,
00:49:31our surgeons are the
00:49:32lifeblood of our
00:49:33institution, and you will
00:49:35be compensated
00:49:36accordingly.
00:49:37Dr. Hart, we are fully
00:49:42committed to making this
00:49:43surgical program a
00:49:44success.
00:49:45Absolutely.
00:49:46You'll be seeing
00:49:46progress ASAP.
00:49:48Vail Hospital won't
00:49:49know what hit him.
00:49:50With Adrian leading us,
00:49:51victory is guaranteed.
00:49:52Hart is best!
00:49:54Hart is best!
00:49:55Hart is best!
00:49:56Hart is best!
00:49:57Hart is best!
00:50:22Hart is best!
00:50:24Come on.
00:50:26Hart is best!
00:50:27You always this disciplined?
00:50:32Or are you just trying to impress me?
00:50:35If I was trying to impress you, you even know.
00:50:38Midnight meetings.
00:50:41Long hours.
00:50:43This work ethic of yours.
00:50:46It's a little dangerous.
00:50:51That's what Belle used to say about me.
00:50:54Then they fired me.
00:50:58Then they were fools.
00:51:01You've earned more than just respect here, Adrian.
00:51:05You know that, right?
00:51:11You trying to motivate me again?
00:51:13I don't try.
00:51:18I do.
00:51:21Well, don't work too late.
00:51:27You're no good to me, burnt out.
00:51:36The incompetence is, uh, is staggering.
00:51:41Yeah, you two are in way over your heads.
00:51:43Do you really think that this is acceptable?
00:51:48I give you one simple task, and you screw it up!
00:51:51How the hell did either of you even finish residency?
00:51:55Vail General Hospital is the gold standard,
00:51:59and you two are just standing around like clueless little interns.
00:52:02If these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow, you're both gone.
00:52:06Is that clear?
00:52:08Yes, sir.
00:52:09This is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team?
00:52:15Go.
00:52:15Go.
00:52:16Oh, Mr. Vail.
00:52:22What a, what a, what a surprise.
00:52:24Cut the bullshit, marksman.
00:52:27Are we on schedule or not?
00:52:29Of course.
00:52:30We're, we're just refining the final stages.
00:52:34Yeah, ev, everything is under control.
00:52:37Good.
00:52:38There's a problem.
00:52:38I expect to hear it from you.
00:52:40No cover-ups.
00:52:40Of course, sir.
00:52:44Mr. Vail.
00:52:45Not now.
00:52:46Go get me the latest performance reports.
00:52:52It, uh, looks like Preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here.
00:52:58Don't worry.
00:52:59When Preston makes me chief medical officer,
00:53:02I'm gonna need someone flexible in my corner.
00:53:06I was back at the winning team, Dr. Marksman.
00:53:10Today, Vail Hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next-generation surgical program.
00:53:22This cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry,
00:53:27especially as Heart Medical's competing program was released on the same day.
00:53:32The question now is, who will define the future of surgery?
00:53:37Relax, Mr. Vail.
00:53:39Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance.
00:53:40I hope you're right.
00:53:44For your sake.
00:53:48Didn't you say that, uh, if the rollout went well,
00:53:51that you'd make me chief medical officer?
00:53:54It's not a success.
00:53:56Yet.
00:53:58Enjoy tonight's launch party.
00:54:00Because if our results don't outshine Heart Medical,
00:54:03it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long time.
00:54:06Dr. Heart, we, uh, have a problem.
00:54:21Vail Hospital's new surgical program launches today.
00:54:24That soon?
00:54:26They're hosting a big celebration party tonight.
00:54:29It's a good thing we're ahead of...
00:54:32You're saying we're ready?
00:54:36Why would I lie?
00:54:38We've been tracking Vail's every move.
00:54:40Let him celebrate.
00:54:42It's just gonna backfire.
00:54:43How exactly does that work in our favor?
00:54:45Vail, do you remember what I told you when you first brought me here?
00:54:52Preston Vail's rushing this.
00:54:53He's desperate to beat us to the market.
00:54:55And?
00:54:56Their model's flawed.
00:54:58If they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure and their approach,
00:55:02we won't have to lift a damn finger.
00:55:05And what about when it falls apart?
00:55:07Then Heart Medical takes over as the future of modern surgery.
00:55:10So you're saying that Vail Hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that
00:55:16you designed?
00:55:17It's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast.
00:55:20They're using an early draft full of mistakes that I won't make again.
00:55:24They don't even realize the cracks in their foundation.
00:55:28That actually makes perfect sense.
00:55:31Which means we've already won.
00:55:35Well, this is a big day for us.
00:55:36We should celebrate.
00:55:38What do you have in mind?
00:55:39Drinks?
00:55:40Not quite.
00:55:41You and I are crashing the Vail launch party tonight.
00:55:44What?
00:55:46Why?
00:55:47Let me worry about that.
00:55:49In the meantime, ensure a smooth rollout, finish whatever procedures you need to,
00:55:54and meet me in the lobby at 8 p.m. sharp.
00:56:10Preston, we've been through so much together.
00:56:13I know where I'm headed in life, and I know who I want by my side.
00:56:18Tonight, at this launch party, celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program,
00:56:25it's like the perfect moment to ask,
00:56:27will you marry me?
00:56:29Will you marry me?
00:56:29Will you marry me?
00:56:29Will you marry me?
00:56:29Will you marry me?
00:56:29Will you marry me?
00:56:31Will you marry me?
00:56:36It should be fun.
00:56:38Absolutely.
00:56:39You really know how to take care of your staff, Mr. Vail?
00:56:42Oh, stop it.
00:56:43Too bad you're taken.
00:56:45Yeah, yeah, what a shame.
00:56:47Where the fuck is Fiona?
00:56:48Told her meet me out here so we can go to this party together.
00:56:51Forget about her.
00:56:53She's just social climbing trash anyways.
00:56:55We'll show you a better time.
00:57:00Now that's an offer I can't refuse.
00:57:02Let's go.
00:57:02Fiona who?
00:57:06Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:57:08Let me go.
00:57:14The number you have dialed is unavailable.
00:57:33Please try again later.
00:57:34It's 20 in one day.
00:58:01All clean, all stable.
00:58:02The experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.
00:58:06You did it.
00:58:08No.
00:58:09We didn't.
00:58:12Dr. Marksman, you have to get to Vail's launch party pronto.
00:58:16You're already late.
00:58:17I need a change then.
00:58:18You don't have time.
00:58:19Where's Vivian?
00:58:21Taking care of something.
00:58:23She said it's really important that you be there
00:58:25and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:58:28Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vail Hospital's
00:58:31Revolutionary Surgical Program.
00:58:48What the fuck?
00:58:49You're my date and you're wasted.
00:58:51I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.
00:58:54Yeah, God knows why I chose you, but I did.
00:58:57So if you want to keep your job and your status sober up, for God's sakes.
00:59:01Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?
00:59:23It's giving orderly sheep.
00:59:28Maybe he's here to bust tables.
00:59:30What are you doing at our launch party?
00:59:33You weren't invited.
00:59:35You so sure about that?
00:59:36I mean, look at you.
00:59:37This is a black tie.
00:59:38I mean, not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is.
00:59:42Oh, look who crawled in from the gutter.
00:59:46The failed surgeon.
00:59:48The fraud.
00:59:49The nobody.
00:59:51Show up to my party in dirty scrubs, Marksman?
00:59:54Thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the lowlives.
00:59:58Guess you need to fire them, too.
00:59:59Pardon me, I just came straight from surgery.
01:00:02Because some of us here are real surgeons.
01:00:04What are you trying to say?
01:00:06I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody, isn't me.
01:00:12I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.
01:00:19Got some nerve talking to my man Marksman like that.
01:00:23A genius like him leading our surgical team?
01:00:25You won't be able to get anywhere near our next party.
01:00:28Yeah, because it'll happen in prison.
01:00:30When you're all arrested for medical malpractice, criminal negligence, and identity theft.
01:00:36What are you talking about?
01:00:39Identity theft.
01:00:41Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?
01:00:43Yours?
01:00:45Let me give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.
01:00:48If you don't got it, just act like you do.
01:00:51Speaking from experience.
01:00:52Look around you.
01:00:56This is the elite among the elite.
01:00:58The best of the best in the medical field.
01:01:01Just because you waltz in here and you're dirty, cheap scrubs, doesn't make you one of us.
01:01:05Good.
01:01:06I'm glad.
01:01:07Because you're all beneath me.
01:01:09Isn't that right?
01:01:11Dr. Marksman.
01:01:12That's enough.
01:01:13Guards!
01:01:13This former employee is threatening us.
01:01:17Kick him out.
01:01:19Touch me and you'll regret it.
01:01:23I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:01:26What are you dumbasses doing?
01:01:28Grab him.
01:01:29Presti.
01:01:45What the hell is this?
01:01:47Dad.
01:01:48Relax.
01:01:49I, uh...
01:01:49Relax?
01:01:51This twat came in uninvited.
01:01:53I was just kicking him out.
01:01:54Guards!
01:01:55Remove him immediately.
01:01:56President Vale, it truly is an honor to finally meet you.
01:01:59You get out of my way.
01:02:01Dad, what are you doing?
01:02:02This is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...
01:02:06You are such a fool!
01:02:09Dad.
01:02:10What are you doing?
01:02:12Open your eyes, Preston.
01:02:15This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...
01:02:18You are a...
01:02:21Disgraced!
01:02:23Dad!
01:02:24My hospital meant something and...
01:02:27You turned it into a...
01:02:29Into a...
01:02:29You...
01:02:30Dad!
01:02:32Dad!
01:02:36Dad!
01:02:39President Vale.
01:02:40Fuck away from my dad!
01:02:42Are you out of your mind?
01:02:43He is the best surgeon in this room.
01:02:45Oh, yeah, like you give a shit about saving my dad.
01:02:48I'll die before I trust you two.
01:02:50Somebody get me a real doctor!
01:02:51David!
01:02:52David!
01:02:53It's cold!
01:02:54It's cold!
01:02:59Can't think of what to do next?
01:03:01Blanking?
01:03:02Can't think of a diagnosis?
01:03:03Shut up!
01:03:05Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?
01:03:07This is ridiculous.
01:03:09I thought this David guy was a genius.
01:03:11Are you just standing there?
01:03:13Do something!
01:03:13What's the matter, David?
01:03:17If you need help, just ask.
01:03:19All you have to do is admit what you did.
01:03:21Right here.
01:03:23Right now.
01:03:24I can't blow my cover, but...
01:03:26What if I kill him?
01:03:29I don't know anything about surgeries.
01:03:31I don't even know what's wrong with them.
01:03:33I did medical school on Zoom.
01:03:36David, this is a matter of life and death.
01:03:40Let it go!
01:03:40I...
01:03:42I...
01:03:43I...
01:03:44I can't.
01:03:47I can't do this.
01:03:50Okay, I can't...
01:03:51I can't do this.
01:03:53I can't do this without my notebook.
01:03:59That's my surgical notebook.
01:04:01He stole it from me.
01:04:02Okay.
01:04:03Okay.
01:04:10Okay.
01:04:12I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.
01:04:16Okay.
01:04:19I gotta...
01:04:20I gotta...
01:04:21Here, take it, take it, take it.
01:04:23Okay.
01:04:24All right, hold his head.
01:04:25But tilt it back and apply pressure here.
01:04:29Okay.
01:04:30Okay.
01:04:41Okay.
01:04:42Yes.
01:04:43Okay.
01:04:44Great.
01:04:45Go on.
01:04:46Go on.
01:04:51Oh, thank God.
01:04:52How are you?
01:04:53Let it out.
01:04:55All right, thank you.
01:04:57Oh, that's my guy.
01:05:01Surgical genius.
01:05:03That's how Val makes history.
01:05:05Somebody get this man a medal.
01:05:07Or at least a new department.
01:05:09If you still want that chief medical officer position, say the word.
01:05:13Now, do I have to have somebody escort you out?
01:05:16That maneuver.
01:05:20That notebook.
01:05:21It's mine.
01:05:22Then tell him.
01:05:27Where is he going?
01:05:28Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program at another fake hospital.
01:05:33Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?
01:05:36Say, why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life?
01:05:38That procedure David used, I invented it.
01:05:47What kind of crack are you smoking?
01:05:49He's delusional.
01:05:51Somebody seriously check this guy's medical license.
01:05:54The notebook he used to save your father.
01:05:57That's mine.
01:05:58My handwriting.
01:06:00My theories.
01:06:01I'm just pissed because he did what you couldn't.
01:06:05I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories as innovation.
01:06:09And when it fails,
01:06:12then it will.
01:06:14You're not the ones that'll pay for it.
01:06:17The patients will.
01:06:18You can't prove that.
01:06:19Not yet.
01:06:21But you can't fake medicine.
01:06:24Medicine and science always tell the truth.
01:06:28Our three's vitals has just dropped.
01:06:32We've got uncontrolled bleeding.
01:06:34Second patient today.
01:06:35Same issue.
01:06:36Vessel ligation failed mid-operation.
01:06:39These techniques aren't viable.
01:06:40The veil method doesn't hold under stress.
01:06:43I mean, come on.
01:06:44Tonight proves it.
01:06:46We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country.
01:06:56I'll be right back.
01:06:58Just coordinating with the team.
01:07:02Talk to me.
01:07:04The vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again.
01:07:06This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.
01:07:11Use the compression step.
01:07:13That only works in controlled scenarios.
01:07:15We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.
01:07:19Look, just follow the notes.
01:07:20I designed those techniques for one-on-one guidance, not mass implementation.
01:07:29Without calibration, it's unstable.
01:07:32It's dangerous.
01:07:33They tried to commercialize your success without you.
01:07:36Now people are paying for it.
01:07:40All good?
01:07:41Of course.
01:07:43Just routine coordination.
01:07:44Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.
01:07:48Your surgical program is failing.
01:07:50And patients are suffering.
01:07:52You've been out of the field for months.
01:07:54You wouldn't know.
01:07:55Yeah, I would know.
01:07:56Because the procedures that you're butchering, I invented.
01:07:59And I'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing.
01:08:04Oh, shit.
01:08:05Oh, yes, this is Dr. Marksman.
01:08:13Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:08:17Okay, listen very carefully.
01:08:20Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging
01:08:24because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.
01:08:28No, you need to perform a Marksman-modified Pringle maneuver
01:08:32with selective hepatic arterial ligation.
01:08:34Followed by a rapid-sequence vascular anatomosis
01:08:38using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures.
01:08:42Yes.
01:08:45Yes.
01:08:47How do we even know he made a phone call?
01:08:50His whole thing is performance, a charade.
01:08:53You stole his methods.
01:08:55This entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork.
01:09:00Uh, that's a lie.
01:09:02Then prove me wrong.
01:09:02Show them all a technique that I didn't create.
01:09:05Why would we believe anything he says?
01:09:11He was fired.
01:09:12Humiliated.
01:09:13You're right, I was fired.
01:09:15And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary.
01:09:20You know what?
01:09:21This is pathetic.
01:09:23He's just jealous.
01:09:24He missed his shot.
01:09:25Is that what you told yourself?
01:09:27When you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal?
01:09:30Even if that were true, this isn't the time or the place.
01:09:34I think it's exactly the time and place.
01:09:38I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator.
01:09:52And thanks to Adrian's guidance, our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients.
01:09:58Adrian just cleaned up your mess.
01:10:01You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready and you fired him.
01:10:07The one person who could make them safe.
01:10:11Dad, you don't see the full picture here.
01:10:14Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.
01:10:17This hospital was built on trust and integrity.
01:10:21And you've disgraced them both.
01:10:23Your father nearly died because of your ego.
01:10:27Because of his lies.
01:10:30You saved me.
01:10:32You saved Nelson.
01:10:34And now, you can save Vale.
01:10:36Tried to warn you all.
01:10:39No one listened.
01:10:40They're listening now.
01:10:41Well, you deserve to be at Vale more than either of those two.
01:10:47And probably even more than me.
01:10:49It was a mistake to let you go.
01:10:52Months ago, I was fired from Vale Hospital with procedures still in development.
01:10:57They weren't ready.
01:10:59They needed supervision.
01:11:01Precision.
01:11:03Development.
01:11:04Instead, someone took my notes and tried to fast-track them for glory.
01:11:08Oh.
01:11:08You can't prove that.
01:11:09Security footage.
01:11:14Of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital.
01:11:19Already submitted to the board.
01:11:22I built on what he started.
01:11:25Okay?
01:11:25I didn't steal.
01:11:27I enhanced it.
01:11:29Then why were patients about to die?
01:11:32You falsified rollout readiness?
01:11:35He did more than that.
01:11:36He put lives at risk to prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program.
01:11:42We're going to need to open a formal investigation on this.
01:11:45This is absurd.
01:11:47This was supposed to be our night.
01:11:49Oh, it's your night.
01:11:51It's just not the way you thought it'd be.
01:11:54You lied to me.
01:11:55I didn't lie.
01:11:56I simplified the truth.
01:11:59Simplify?
01:12:00You could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people.
01:12:04You nearly killed the president of the hospital.
01:12:07You passed up experimental procedures as launch ready.
01:12:10That's malpractice.
01:12:12They worked.
01:12:13Nelson's alive.
01:12:15Look, the patients, they're alive.
01:12:17Yeah, because of me.
01:12:18Those methods require sequential tensioning, breath control, special clamp techniques.
01:12:23Getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death.
01:12:26Wait, these really are your techniques.
01:12:29I tested them for years.
01:12:31It was never meant for mass rollout.
01:12:34Not without training.
01:12:35You're rewriting history?
01:12:37No, you tried to erase him from it.
01:12:40Adrian Morksman was the reason that Vale's program had a future.
01:12:44And without him, it won't.
01:12:47This is absurd!
01:12:49You're siding with this disgraced former resident?
01:12:52He's not disgraced, son.
01:12:54You are.
01:12:56You hijacked a program you didn't understand.
01:12:59And then when your ego wasn't enough,
01:13:02you propped up this fraud.
01:13:05Taking his side, Dad?
01:13:08I'm your son.
01:13:10I'm taking the side of truth.
01:13:12And so will the board.
01:13:14We will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning.
01:13:17Until then, both of you are suspended from all surgical and administrative duties.
01:13:22Suspended?
01:13:23No, no, no, you can't do that.
01:13:24You don't understand the politics of running a hospital.
01:13:27We understand the liability.
01:13:28That's enough.

01:13:33Dr. David Marksman.
