Short filmTranscript
00:00:00A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured
00:00:07patients flooding into Vail Hospital's emergency department. The fate of these accident victims
00:00:12now rests in the hands of Vail'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,
00:00:23we got three more criticals incoming. Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding. I can't leave this
00:00:29one. Where's Dr. Stevens? We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the EOR.
00:00:50Need 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. Time to prove yourself,
00:01:02Dr. Marksman. Patient's yours.
00:01:10Okay, we are going to perform a modified Whipple. Whipple? For trauma? That's insane. Trust me.
00:01:18Metson bomb scissors. Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:24That procedure. That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive.
00:01:28Bobby Cottery. Watch.
00:01:39He's doing it in half the normal time. The bleeding. It's under control. But how did he...
00:01:45Tilt suture? Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:02:01I've never seen anything like this. Almost done.
00:02:04This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:24Jesus, Adrian. What you just pulled off is impossible. I thought you were just some rookie
00:02:29surgeon, but that. That was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed. Where did you learn
00:02:35to operate like that? What you just did will go down in the history books. Wait. I heard President
00:02:40Vale personally recruited a medical prodigy who revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.
00:02:47Is that you?
00:02:47Final suture. Miss Vale's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:03:03Doctor.
00:03:05The nurses, they said you did it. And you, you actually did.
00:03:11Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation. Every surgeon on the west coast said it was
00:03:19inoperable, that she only had weeks to live, but you, you saved my Catherine. She'll make a full
00:03:26recovery, President Vale. Name your price, whatever it is. We need you at Vale. My hospital.
00:03:35Look, I'll explain later. Right now, we have three critical patients that need specialized
00:03:39procedures. It's going to take hours. Y'all should go home, get some rest.
00:03:44I'll take over from here. Okay. Good work, everyone.
00:04:09You're all stable. Every single one of them. Stabilized.
00:04:29Oh, sun's coming up. You must operate it all night. You're a machine.
00:04:35Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks. All right. It's time for some much-needed shut-eye.
00:04:53Hey, you.
00:05:01Hey, yourself.
00:05:02I've been operating all night. I saved every single patient in that pileup.
00:05:10What you did was extraordinary. How do you always know exactly what I needed?
00:05:15Because I know you. Better than anyone.
00:05:25Blueberry. Your favorite.
00:05:28You remembered. Where's your dad?
00:05:31You know, I've been thinking lately about us.
00:05:34I know it's only been a month, but it just feels different.
00:05:49It's the third time this week. Hospital food's better than someone else's.
00:05:53Hmm.
00:05:55So who's this marksman guy?
00:05:57His surgical skills are unreal.
00:05:58Sure. I thought he was just another new hire.
00:06:01I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:06:04With talent like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department right now.
00:06:15What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?
00:06:17Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.
00:06:23Who is this guy?
00:06:26Preston Vale, Preston Vale's son, Harvard MBA.
00:06:29He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife,
00:06:33who just recovered from an experimental pancreatic duodenectomy.
00:06:38I'm sorry, am I looking at two board-certified surgeons or med school dropouts?
00:06:44Hard to tell based on your behavior.
00:06:46Sir, about right-
00:06:47Save it!
00:06:50Parker, you couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:06:53You're fired.
00:06:56Clear out your office.
00:06:57New management means new standards.
00:07:00It's time to separate the real surgeons from posers.
00:07:05Attention and everybody's attention now.
00:07:08If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs, every surgery must be perfect.
00:07:14No complications, no deaths.
00:07:17This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:07:20Who's he thinking is? Dr. House?
00:07:24What is this?
00:07:28Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:07:31Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:07:35This is a hospital.
00:07:37We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
00:07:40That was from my residency direction.
00:07:43Oh, cry me a river!
00:07:45Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients,
00:07:48and a little less time collecting gold stars, you'd be a real doctor.
00:07:52You're fired.
00:07:53Excuse me?
00:07:54Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop,
00:07:56just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.
00:07:59Yes, sir.
00:08:00Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?
00:08:03Oh, that was good. Let's go.
00:08:10Well, well, well.
00:08:12What do we have here?
00:08:14Sleeping after a shift?
00:08:17Rise and shine, superstar.
00:08:23Did I order a wake-up call?
00:08:25No, you didn't.
00:08:27But here's one anyway.
00:08:28You are fired!
00:08:33Are you serious?
00:08:34You're firing me?
00:08:36Do you need me to draw your diagram, doctor?
00:08:39Well, no, but there must be some sort of mistake.
00:08:42Fiona, what's his position here?
00:08:44He's a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.
00:08:50What's he make?
00:08:51700,000.
00:08:53That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
00:08:55700?
00:08:57Are you insane?
00:08:58You're giving resident money to a first-year who sleeps on the job?
00:09:01This hospital is being scammed.
00:09:04I just worked all night, okay?
00:09:06I'm just taking a nap.
00:09:07Also, now you're expecting overtime pay.
00:09:10Seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.
00:09:14What were you thinking hiring this fraud?
00:09:16Are they as dumb as these hack surgeons, or this is some sort of insurance scam?
00:09:20Adrian and I might be sleeping together, but I can't let him drag me down.
00:09:26My career comes first.
00:09:28Boy, bye.
00:09:30There must be some clerical error.
00:09:32His credentials.
00:09:34Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:09:36Fiona, Dr. Marksman, you are F-I-R-E-D fired.
00:09:47Clear out your office, clear out your locker, and get the hell out of my hospital.
00:09:54This is a mistake, okay?
00:09:55You need to check the surgical lock.
00:09:56You don't get to wear that.
00:10:04I see.
00:10:08Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:10:10You don't understand.
00:10:11He's the one who-
00:10:12Didn't I fire you two already?
00:10:14Beat it.
00:10:16Vale is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:10:18Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:10:26I understand.
00:10:40Hospital politics.
00:10:42I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.
00:10:46Meet me in the lobby after your shift.
00:10:48I'll be waiting.
00:10:56You care to explain that little exchange?
00:11:05The board won't like this.
00:11:07Four attendings dismissed in one day.
00:11:09Patient care will suffer.
00:11:11Fear is a weapon, Fiona.
00:11:13I intend to wield it.
00:11:15Or perhaps you're more concerned with one surgeon in particular.
00:11:19Your little scam artist situation ship.
00:11:22No, Preston.
00:11:23He means nothing to me.
00:11:25Really.
00:11:26I have no personal stake in your staffing decision.
00:11:27Let's be clear about your future here.
00:11:31Do you want to be with the nobody, collecting unemployment checks,
00:11:35or the man who signs everyone's paychecks, including yours?
00:11:41The man who signs everyone's paychecks.
00:11:45Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded
00:11:48who's in charge around here.
00:11:50Hey, Dad.
00:11:53What's wrong?
00:11:54Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.
00:11:56She'll be okay.
00:11:57And Preston, there's something critical you need to know.
00:12:00Dr. Marksman, whatever happens, make sure you take care of him.
00:12:05Dr. Marksman?
00:12:06Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired.
00:12:09Didn't I just fired?
00:12:10Preston, are you there?
00:12:13Check the staff roster.
00:12:16Um, see if we have another marksman.
00:12:18I had to back up the brakes truck to get him here.
00:12:21He's the surgeon who saved your mother's life.
00:12:24And he's the hospital's reputation rests on.
00:12:27Ah, yes, I see now.
00:12:32There's another surgeon attending with that name.
00:12:36Dr. Marksman, pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
00:12:39Research, this is what you mean, Dad?
00:12:41That's our man.
00:12:42For us.
00:12:44Negligent, lazy, you name it.
00:12:45Already done, Dad.
00:12:47I fired his slacker.
00:12:48And I fired our star surgeon.
00:12:50Good work, son.
00:12:52I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
00:12:54Just, uh, just take care.
00:13:04See?
00:13:05Told you that slacker resident I fired.
00:13:06Civil traumas incoming.
00:13:07The six-car pileup.
00:13:08You fired half our surgery team.
00:13:10What's your point?
00:13:11ER is crashing.
00:13:12We've no one left who can handle it.
00:13:20Give me the situation.
00:13:21Those three more incoming.
00:13:23Multiple crush injuries.
00:13:24Arterial bleeds, sir.
00:13:26We're losing patients.
00:13:28What are our options?
00:13:29There might be one solution.
00:13:31Well, spit it out.
00:13:32Dr. Marksman.
00:13:34He handled four critical traumas alone last night.
00:13:36If we can get him back here.
00:13:38Marksman.
00:13:39Right.
00:13:39I didn't fire.
00:13:40Keep up.
00:13:40Idiot left his research notes.
00:13:53Hmm.
00:13:55Modified trauma protocol.
00:13:58Wait.
00:13:59Well says if you can handle this crisis, there's a monster promotion waiting.
00:14:05I'm on my way.
00:14:07They'll make me department head, and I can finally make seven figures.
00:14:11Well?
00:14:25Now, about your loyalty.
00:14:27Adrian meant nothing.
00:14:30I was using him to advance my career.
00:14:32You're my future.
00:14:35That's my girl.
00:14:43Beyond a shift in it an hour ago, the boss's son is up to something.
00:14:47To hell with this.
00:15:06Piece of shit.
00:15:11Get your hand off my girl.
00:15:14Oh, just knock it off, Adrian.
00:15:16You mean to tell me that the brilliant surgeon can't see what's been happening under his own nose?
00:15:22You mean to tell me that you've been messing around with this incompetent nepo baby?
00:15:25I can choose who I want.
00:15:27And I don't want to disgrace surgeon with no future.
00:15:29You pathetic loser.
00:15:46We're done, Adrian.
00:15:49Ancient history.
00:15:51Are you serious?
00:15:53Just like that.
00:15:55Sorry that this bum wrinkled your jacket, sir.
00:15:57Why are you doing this, Fiona?
00:16:02Am I just a stepping stone to you?
00:16:03I need someone with a future.
00:16:05Not someone who sleeps while patients are dying.
00:16:08Keep it for when you get lonely and horny.
00:16:15It's the closest you'll ever come to the real thing again.
00:16:17Oh, look at us, Adrian.
00:16:24I'm the future of Vail Hospital.
00:16:26And you?
00:16:30Just a slacker and scrubs.
00:16:33You're washed up, Marksman.
00:16:35Perhaps try nursing.
00:16:36I hear they're always hiring.
00:16:39Fiona, I met you here and it made me want to stay.
00:16:43I thought we could build a family together.
00:16:46Get over yourself.
00:16:48You think I'm gonna stay with someone who lied about their credentials?
00:16:52President Vail would never have hired someone who sleeps during shifts.
00:16:56We're done.
00:17:00I'm not done.
00:17:02But when I am, there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.
00:17:07You can count on that.
00:17:11No, no, no. Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.
00:17:14Your troubles are just getting started.
00:17:20Who authorizes you to be here?
00:17:22Mr. Vail, I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision,
00:17:25we've stabilized all the patients from the multi-car accident,
00:17:29and the situation is completely under control.
00:17:31You're Dr. Marksman.
00:17:33Ah, yes. The very same.
00:17:35My father mentioned your exceptional credentials.
00:17:39Harvard Medical, was it?
00:17:41These morons have no idea I'm taking credit for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.
00:17:47As long as the boss's son is impressed, I'll be chief of surgery by next month.
00:17:51Mr. Vail, I've identified who's responsible for all the issues
00:17:55in OR3 today.
00:17:57He was sleeping while the patient almost died on the table.
00:18:01Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
00:18:03Dr. Hart.
00:18:13Incredible news.
00:18:15Dr. Adrian Marksman, that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking,
00:18:19he's just been terminated from Vail Hospital.
00:18:23When?
00:18:23Less than an hour ago, dismissed by President Vail's son.
00:18:30Amazing.
00:18:31I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face when he discovers that his price surgeon was fired by his submental son.
00:18:38With our respect, we're still establishing our reputation.
00:18:43Would someone of Marksman's caliber even consider joining us?
00:18:47I'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:18:50Full department autonomy.
00:18:53Research funding.
00:18:54State-of-the-art facilities.
00:18:57And if necessary,
00:18:59my personal involvement.
00:19:02His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.
00:19:06Have my car brought round.
00:19:08I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.
00:19:10And Adrian Marksman?
00:19:12He's leaving with me.
00:19:20Alphysus.
00:19:21What kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:19:23Now, don't insult our intelligence.
00:19:25A patient coded while you were off taking a nap.
00:19:28The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental.
00:19:30Yet you stand there denying it.
00:19:31This is crazy.
00:19:33You've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon,
00:19:36and when a complication occurs,
00:19:37which happened in this hospital under your incompetent leadership,
00:19:42you blame me.
00:19:45The collective medical knowledge in this room isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.
00:19:50If you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be,
00:19:53you would still have a job.
00:19:56I'm not going to stand here and debate medicine with you in front of Mr. Vail.
00:19:59Security, please detain him.
00:20:06What exactly are you accusing me of?
00:20:09Either confess to medical malfeasance, or they'll escort you to the police for criminal negligence.
00:20:16Adrian, I never realized you were capable of endangering patients.
00:20:21What other medical atrocities have you committed?
00:20:23You better confess now, or we'll do that by giving the power to make sure you lose your medical license.
00:20:28Fine. Go ahead. Do your worst.
00:20:34Let's see if a single piece of evidence holds up in front of the medical board.
00:20:37You really underestimate my family's influence, don't you?
00:20:44Don't you realize that Mr. Vail here can end your entire career with one phone call?
00:20:48Sir, I strongly recommend that we make an example out of him.
00:20:52After all, he'll be a danger to his patients wherever he goes.
00:20:54Preston, you can't let him walk away after this.
00:20:58Not after what he did to our patients.
00:21:00I'm contacting the medical board right now.
00:21:04As of this moment, Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted from Vail Hospital and every medical institute in the country.
00:21:11Plans in motion, Adrian.
00:21:13Do you know what that means?
00:21:15It means that you will never practice medicine in this country again.
00:21:21I have one question before I go.
00:21:24Does your father know you fired me?
00:21:26My father's the one who asked me to fire you, you dipshit.
00:21:30You thought you were some brilliant surgical god, didn't you?
00:21:36Security, remove this criminal from hospital property immediately.
00:21:39Immediately.
00:21:41Yes, doctor.
00:21:42Right away, sir.
00:21:45That's quite enough.
00:21:54Let him go.
00:21:59Dr. Marksman is about to accept the position as Chief of Surgical Innovation at Heart Medical Center.
00:22:08I know you.
00:22:11You're Vivian Hart, the surgical upstart from that medical clinic across town.
00:22:16That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you, Mr. Vail.
00:22:20Vivian, I haven't seen you since the John Hopkins Symposium like four or five years ago.
00:22:25What are you doing here?
00:22:27Well, I'm here for the most innovative surgeon in the country, of course.
00:22:30Oh, wait, are you seriously suggesting this negligent doctor has value?
00:22:37He was sleeping during rounds.
00:22:39Is this how Vail Hospital discards its exceptional talent?
00:22:44Your father built this institution's reputation of medical excellence, not petty politics.
00:22:49Dr. Hart, with all due respect...
00:22:54This is a conversation between medical directors.
00:22:56Someone in your position should recognize when to maintain silence.
00:22:59Dr. Hart, I must inform you that Dr. Marksman represents a serious liability.
00:23:05He compromised patient safety and...
00:23:08I don't believe I requested your medical opinion, Dr.
00:23:11Marksman.
00:23:12David Marksman.
00:23:13I have neither time nor interest in your assessment.
00:23:16After he decided to go to sleep, we had a critical surgical complication.
00:23:23His negligence led to the problem.
00:23:26His actions not only endangered patients, it compromised my hospital's reputation.
00:23:32Are you really willing to defend someone who violates the Hippocratic Oath?
00:23:36Did you actually consult with your father before dismissing Dr. Marksman?
00:23:41Of course I consulted my father.
00:23:43He's the one who specifically mentioned his dangerous surgical shortcuts and inflated reputation.
00:23:50Dangerous shortcuts?
00:23:53Is that what President Vail really said?
00:23:55His exact words were, remove him at first opportunity.
00:23:58President Vail was the one that recruited me. This makes absolutely no sense.
00:24:02Please, Adrian, the President wouldn't personally recruit a mid-level surgeon like you.
00:24:08Those gala invitations were professional courtesy, not genuine respect.
00:24:13Well, if that's the way things work at Vail, I have nothing more to contribute to any of you.
00:24:18Dr. Marksman, would you consider joining Hart Medical Center as our Chief of Surgery?
00:24:23Well, I have full department autonomy, protected research time, a surgical fellowship in your name,
00:24:32and a seven-figure salary package.
00:25:02And, Cash, Dr. Marksman, I want you to revolutionize our surgery program.
00:25:12Hopefully this shows you.
00:25:14I mean what I say.
00:25:15Chief of surgery?
00:25:26You're offering all this to a surgeon who can't even keep his eyes open on the job?
00:25:31Dr. Hart, have you completely lost your medical judgment or are you on drugs?
00:25:35This is absurd. He was a mediocre surgeon here at Vail.
00:25:40And now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department?
00:25:45The medical board should review your hiring practices.
00:25:50Vivian, I appreciate your confidence.
00:25:54This isn't about money.
00:25:57Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you.
00:26:02She's offering herself up to him. She can't do that.
00:26:05Are you a doctor or a call girl?
00:26:08At Hart Medical Center, you will be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves,
00:26:12including a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value.
00:26:19And I do mean anything, Dr. Marksman.
00:26:23Dr. Hart, for the sake of your own reputation, you need to know that this hack
00:26:28you're so eagerly pursuing has a documented history of negligence.
00:26:33My father confirmed it himself.
00:26:35Is that precisely what Nelson Bale told you?
00:26:38His exact words.
00:26:41Negligence search? What are those?
00:26:46Personal gifts from your father.
00:26:48My fellowship offer, my personal research lab, my surgical team, I'm leaving it all behind.
00:27:00You can tell President Vail that as of this moment, Dr. Marksman has permanently withdrawn
00:27:06from Vail Hospital and all of its affiliated institutions.
00:27:09You know what? Spare us the theatrics, Adrian. You never deserve those privileges in the first place.
00:27:16The medical board is going to see that justice is done.
00:27:19Oh, your stupidity, it's just astonishing.
00:27:24You treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels.
00:27:28This man is a life-saving artist.
00:27:35Dr. Hart, I understand there's some competition between your center and Vail Hospital.
00:27:40Yeah, look, I'll be real. We're struggling to get out from under their shadow.
00:27:45Look, I'd be happy to help you out with that.
00:27:47Take me on, and I'll transform Hart into the number one surgical institution in the country.
00:27:52Look at yourself, Adrian. Offering your skills to a struggling clinic. How pathetically desperate.
00:28:01Oh, a backstabbing bottom feeder like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his
00:28:07caliber. How dare you talk to me like that!
00:28:10Your malpractice has caused catastrophic damage to my hospital's reputation. As the responsible party,
00:28:18I demand that you issue a formal apology to one of the major medical journals,
00:28:22and with an explanation to every affected Vail Hospital patient.
00:28:28Refuse me, and I will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently!
00:28:33That accusation isn't just baseless. It's absurd.
00:28:37What exactly do you think you're going to do about it?
00:28:40You've got no choice but to sign this confession.
00:28:42Oh, stop threatening my chief surgeon. If you insist on pursuing this vendetta,
00:28:47have your attorney send a formal complaint to Hart Medical Center.
00:28:51We'll consider it nothing less than a declaration of total war.
00:28:56If it's war you want, I will obliterate your dime store clinic with everything that I've got.
00:29:03Let's go. One more second and this cesspool is going to make me physically ill.
00:29:12Mr. Vail, don't you waste another precious moment on those secondary practitioners.
00:29:23David, you've proven your loyalty. The chief of surgery position is yours, effective immediately.
00:29:30This is extraordinary. Thank you. I am honored beyond words.
00:29:38Don't forget about me, Preston. Don't worry, babe. You will be thoroughly compensated for your loyalty.
00:29:47How exciting. Mr. Vail, I swear on my medical oath that I will not disappoint you.
00:29:54Mr. Vail, a commuter train derailed. Six critical patients incoming. Dr. Marksman, OR1 now.
00:30:01Now's your time to shine, Dr. Marksman.
00:30:03Shit. I'm screwed. Adrian's surgical journal with all his proprietary techniques is still in my office.
00:30:09If Preston finds out I stole it and then couldn't even use it properly.
00:30:13I implemented a groundbreaking surgical protocol that I invented myself.
00:30:20These techniques are revolutionary. I'll walk you through it in detail after the emergency.
00:30:24It's impressive, Dr. Marksman. You've obviously got your own methodology.
00:30:29No need to bore me with the specifics. I trust your brilliance.
00:30:33Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:30:35With you leading my surgical team, I can focus on what really matters. Hospital expansion.
00:30:42Again, sir, I'm deeply honored.
00:30:50Behold, Vail Hospital's new chief of surgery.
00:30:54Let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now.
00:30:59I'm glad you're feeling better, honey.
00:31:03Yeah. Well, sorry. Who's this?
00:31:10Nelson Vail speaking.
00:31:11President Vail, Dr. Vivian Hart here.
00:31:14I am calling to let you know that as of this morning,
00:31:17Hart Medical Center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena.
00:31:21Revolutionary surgical procedures are Vail Hospital's domain.
00:31:26Are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight?
00:31:30This is merely a professional courtesy call, not an invitation for debate.
00:31:34Now, just...
00:31:40Just that conniving bitch plotting.
00:31:43She knows Adrian is our surgical secret weapon.
00:31:47Why would she deliberately provoke a medical war she has absolutely no chance of winning?
00:31:54Unless...
00:32:02Dad, we've got multiple traumas coming in.
00:32:04Just tell me you didn't fire Dr. Marksman.
00:32:06Dad, relax.
00:32:08I fired the other one, that incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned.
00:32:12Then explain to me why Hart Medical Center believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy.
00:32:20Because I masterfully led Vivian Hart into a false sense of reality.
00:32:25It's not way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures.
00:32:30I convinced Vivian that she's acquired surgical brilliance.
00:32:34When in reality, she's hired our disgraced, discarded loser.
00:32:37So you deliberately manipulated Vivian?
00:32:40She thinks she's hired genius behind Vail Hospital's groundbreaking procedures.
00:32:45That's why she had the audacity to declare war on you.
00:32:48Impressive, son.
00:32:49You're finally showing some of the leadership qualities.
00:32:52I've been waiting to see out of you.
00:32:54I think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division.
00:33:01Dad, this is everything I've worked for.
00:33:05We'll get to work immediately.
00:33:06We're going to expose Hart Medical Center for the low-grade institution it truly is.
00:33:14Their humiliation will be quick and absolute.
00:33:17I won't let you down.
00:33:18Darling, surgical innovation is the future of Vail.
00:33:24Preston 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.
00:33:41You mean the surgeon that saved my life?
00:33:44Dr. Adrian Marksman.
00:33:46Exactly.
00:33:46And all I need to do is stay hands off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents.
00:33:56As long as Adrian is with Vail Hospital, Hart Medical Center has no chance of competing.
00:34:04Not only that, Vivian fell for Preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster, Dr. David Marksman.
00:34:12What we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble.
00:34:26So, now that you've seen the surgical department, what do you think?
00:34:32It's not bad.
00:34:34It's a small team, but they're talented.
00:34:36What you've built here, it's impressive, Viv.
00:34:39It's good to see you again after all these years, Adrian.
00:34:45You too.
00:34:47We need to expand.
00:34:49It's too small for what I'm planning.
00:34:52Also, I heard you weren't the only surgeon Preston Vale fired.
00:35:01We have all the angles figured out, don't you?
00:35:04And I always find the best one.
00:35:09I'm going to start recruiting.
00:35:17Good.
00:35:19The faster we rise, the more rewarding this partnership becomes.
00:35:24This better be good.
00:35:39Mr. Vale, you wanted to see me?
00:35:42My father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department.
00:35:51Given your new position as chief of surgery, I'm appointing you head of innovation.
00:35:56Mr. Vale, I, uh...
00:35:58Is there an issue with that?
00:36:00No, absolutely not.
00:36:02The budget for innovation is astronomical.
00:36:05And President Vale has already handed control to his son?
00:36:09If I oversee these procedures, I could divert significant resources to my personal research.
00:36:15Mr. Vale, you can trust me completely.
00:36:18I am precisely the right man for the job.
00:36:20Preston, we have a catastrophe on our hands.
00:36:25Two attending surgeons just submitted their resignation simultaneously.
00:36:28The department can't possibly maintain its caseload.
00:36:30What?
00:36:31They both resigned at once?
00:36:32What was their explanation?
00:36:33They refused to disclose their reasons.
00:36:35But there's talk they were recruited by a former Vale physician.
00:36:38Along with the three other surgeons you fired before.
00:36:40Former physician Adrian Marksman, this has his saboteur signature all over it.
00:36:45Preston, what's our contingency plan?
00:36:47The surgical department is severely understaffed.
00:36:50If any more surgeons leave, patients will suffer.
00:36:52Okay, everybody needs to remain calm.
00:36:57You still have me.
00:36:58I can rebuild this department.
00:37:00Ah, yes.
00:37:02With your stellar reputation, we should be able to get the best of the best.
00:37:05Exactly.
00:37:06So we lost some second-rate talent.
00:37:09Let him go.
00:37:11I'll make some calls to Cedars-Sinai and UCLA.
00:37:15Good work, Marksman.
00:37:21This is working out perfectly.
00:37:23Now I can install my own allies in key positions.
00:37:26Soon, I'll control the entire hospital's medical direction.
00:37:41It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Hart.
00:37:58This is Dr. Parker here.
00:38:00He's a triple board certified surgeon.
00:38:02And soon, he'll be the head of trauma surgery.
00:38:05This is Dr. Rose, Chen, Rose, and Thomas.
00:38:10All consummate professionals.
00:38:12My most trusted colleagues back at Vail.
00:38:17With this surgical team,
00:38:19Heart Medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country.
00:38:22Actually, the whole world.
00:38:25We're eager to begin, Dr. Hart.
00:38:27Well, welcome to Hart Medical Center.
00:38:32I am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us, but I do need to be transparent.
00:38:38We have got considerable ground to cover before we can truly challenge Vail Hospital's dominance.
00:38:44Have no fear, Dr. Hart.
00:38:45With Adrian leading our team, we'll be three steps ahead of anything Vail attempts.
00:38:50Yes, but Vail has already implemented Adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols.
00:38:56Yeah, about that.
00:38:58It's a preliminary version.
00:38:59If they continue to develop this approach without modification...
00:39:02Then what?
00:39:03A lot of deaths, a lot of lawsuits, a lot of patients could be harmed or worse.
00:39:09These procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement.
00:39:14Those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training without that foundation.
00:39:20We're talking about serious complications, preventable harm.
00:39:24Our first priority has to be patient safety.
00:39:27We need to perfect these procedures.
00:39:29And then we can find a way to prevent Vail from continuing with the flawed protocols.
00:39:34Exactly.
00:39:35It's not about competition or pride.
00:39:37It's about saving lives.
00:39:41We're using our experience with the trial procedures I did at Vail to develop next generation
00:39:46surgical techniques, eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies.
00:39:52Even if Vail Hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new,
00:39:57we'll maintain our significant advantage.
00:40:01And if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols,
00:40:04rest assured, their outcomes will deteriorate.
00:40:08I don't wish it upon their patients, that's for sure.
00:40:11Remember this moment.
00:40:13In this battle for medical supremacy,
00:40:15Heart Medical Center will emerge victorious.
00:40:18It's 3 a.m.
00:40:27Lost track of time again.
00:40:34Viv, you surprised me.
00:40:37Looks like you could use a nice rub.
00:40:41Do you mind?
00:40:42No.
00:40:42I mean, yeah, will you give all your surgeons massages?
00:40:50Only the ones I really, really like.
00:40:58You really, really like me?
00:40:59Adrienne, I've really, really liked you since residency.
00:41:04Nothing's changed.
00:41:05You were our most brilliant resident in the program.
00:41:09I never imagined someone like you would like me.
00:41:11There was never anyone else that got my attention.
00:41:15Only you.
00:41:18But you were completely oblivious.
00:41:21And then you just vanished from the program.
00:41:24Well, I left to join the Experimental Surgical Fellowship in Switzerland.
00:41:28I know.
00:41:29Your talent was extraordinary even then.
00:41:35Back then, I made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday.
00:41:40You know, when I established Heart Medical Center, my first priority was recruiting you.
00:41:46But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Vale, had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives.
00:41:55I understand now.
00:41:59So, should we pick up where we left off in residency?
00:42:09We're the boss.
00:42:11That's right.
00:42:12And as your boss, I say, come home with me.
00:42:17Tonight?
00:42:18You lost everything when Preston fired you.
00:42:20Hospital privileges, research funding, even your hospital subsidized apartment.
00:42:30You have literally nowhere else to go tonight.
00:42:34Come with me.
00:42:37Where?
00:42:39My place.
00:42:48All right.
00:42:49I'll admit it.
00:42:51That was the best meal I've had in months.
00:42:53Careful, Dr. Marksman.
00:42:55I might start thinking you're easy to please.
00:42:58That just depends on the company.
00:43:00Well, starting tonight, this is your new home.
00:43:05Until the program's fully established, it just makes sense.
00:43:09Are you sure about that?
00:43:10We already work late hours.
00:43:13Living together could get complicated.
00:43:16Well, I like complicated.
00:43:19Keeps things interesting.
00:43:22And where exactly will I be sleeping?
00:43:25Well, my master suite has a California king.
00:43:36Plenty of room.
00:43:37If things ever need to get more collaborative.
00:43:44Really?
00:43:46Relax.
00:43:47I'm only teasing.
00:43:49Tonight, at least.
00:43:52Come on.
00:43:53I'll show you your room.
00:43:59Unless you'd rather have a nightcap.
00:44:01And mine.
00:44:02Things could get dangerous.
00:44:15Is this pathetic attempt really the best that you can do?
00:44:22You are completely worthless as surgeons.
00:44:24Dr. Marksman.
00:44:26The experimental procedures we're trying to replicate here are extraordinarily intricate.
00:44:30We need at least six months to properly master.
00:44:34Six months?
00:44:35You have 72 hours.
00:44:37And I expect hourly updates on my desk.
00:44:39Sir, brushing these delicate procedures
00:44:43dramatically increases the possibility of potentially fatal complications.
00:44:46Three days.
00:44:47Then you don't get one hour more.
00:44:50Go.
00:44:51Go.
00:44:55Report, Dr. Marksman.
00:44:56What's our status?
00:44:58Excellent progress, Mr. Vale.
00:44:59We will be advancing to phase two implementation within three days.
00:45:04That's exactly what I wanted to hear.
00:45:06I knew my judgment in appointing you was flawless.
00:45:14Preston, I need an update on the experimental surgery program.
00:45:18Everything's proceeding perfectly, Father.
00:45:19Outstanding.
00:45:21When this is done, I'll throw you a huge party to celebrate the launch.
00:45:25Your father must be so proud of you.
00:45:28Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:45:30I'll make sure my father understands your invaluable contribution.
00:45:34This is my shot.
00:45:35Why settle for chief of surgery?
00:45:37With the right maneuvering, I could become the next chief medical officer of Vale Hospital.
00:45:41Mr. Vale, my purpose is to execute the visionary medical strategies of brilliant administrators such as yourself.
00:45:51I believe that in the position of chief medical officer, I could implement your ideas more effectively throughout the entire hospital.
00:45:59If these procedures prove successful, I will personally discuss your advancement with the board.
00:46:02Truly, that's...
00:46:04I am profoundly grateful, sir.
00:46:09You're finally awake.
00:46:28You can keep appreciating the view while you eat.
00:46:36All right.
00:46:37Ooh, breakfast.
00:46:39Looks good.
00:46:40When you're finished eating, we'll head directly to the surgical wing.
00:46:47Sound good?
00:46:47Yes.
00:46:48Absolutely.
00:46:49Good.
00:46:52Get it up and running, and there may be a special bonus waiting for you.
00:47:00Extra special.
00:47:10Okay, team.
00:47:11We're approaching a critical phase of our program development.
00:47:14We have groundbreaking procedures that we need to perfect in very little time.
00:47:18So, let's get to it.
00:47:20Let's start revolutionizing medicine.
00:47:22I have excellent news for all of you.
00:47:24I've just finalized arrangements with the board.
00:47:27And upon successful implementation of our surgical innovations, each of you will receive a fully funded
00:47:34medical mission trip anywhere in the world that you choose to share your expertise.
00:47:38And when the time comes that our procedures receive national certification, every surgeon on this
00:47:45team will be gifted a percentage of the royalties from any techniques we patent.
00:47:52At Hart Medical Center, our surgeons are the lifeblood of our institution.
00:47:58And you will be compensated accordingly.
00:48:00Dr. Hart, we are fully committed to making this surgical program a success.
00:48:08Absolutely.
00:48:09You'll be seeing progress ASAP.
00:48:11Vail Hospital won't know what hit him.
00:48:13With Adrian leading us, victory is guaranteed.
00:48:16Hart is best!
00:48:17Hart is best!
00:48:18Hart is best!
00:48:20Hart is best!
00:48:21Hart is best!
00:48:22Hart is best!
00:48:53You always this disciplined?
00:48:56Or are you just trying to impress me?
00:48:59If I was trying to impress you, you even know.
00:49:02Midnight meetings, long hours, this work ethic of yours, it's a little dangerous.
00:49:14That's what Val used to say about me.
00:49:17Then they fired me.
00:49:18And they were fools.
00:49:25You've earned more than just respect here, Adrian.
00:49:28You know that, right?
00:49:34You trying to motivate me again?
00:49:36I don't try.
00:49:41I do.
00:49:45Well, don't work too late.
00:49:48You're no good to me, burnt out.
00:50:00The incompetence is staggering.
00:50:05Yeah, you too are in way over your heads.
00:50:10Do you really think that this is acceptable?
00:50:12I give you one simple task and you screw it up!
00:50:15How the hell did either of you even finish residency?
00:50:19Vail General Hospital is the gold standard and you two are just standing around like
00:50:25clueless little interns.
00:50:27If these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow, you're both gone.
00:50:30Is that clear?
00:50:32Yes, sir.
00:50:34This is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team?
00:50:37Go.
00:50:45Oh, Mr. Vail.
00:50:47What a, what a, what a surprise.
00:50:49Cut the bullshit, Marksman.
00:50:51We're on schedule or not?
00:50:53Of course.
00:50:54We're, we're just refining the final stages.
00:50:58Yeah, everything is under control.
00:51:01Good.
00:51:02There's a problem.
00:51:03I expect to hear it from you.
00:51:04No cover-ups.
00:51:05Of course, sir.
00:51:09Mr. Vail.
00:51:10Not now.
00:51:11Go get me the latest performance reports.
00:51:16It, uh, looks like Preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here.
00:51:23Don't worry.
00:51:24When Preston makes me chief medical officer, I'm gonna need someone flexible in my corner.
00:51:30I respect the winning team, Dr. Marksman.
00:51:40Today, Vail Hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next-generation surgical program.
00:51:46This cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry,
00:51:51especially as Heart Medical's competing program was released on the same day.
00:51:56The question now is, who will define the future of surgery?
00:52:01Relax, Mr. Vail.
00:52:03Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance.
00:52:06I hope you're right.
00:52:08For your sake.
00:52:12Didn't you say that, uh, if the rollout went well, that you'd make me chief medical officer?
00:52:18It's not a success.
00:52:20Yet.
00:52:23Enjoy tonight's launch party.
00:52:25Because if our results don't outshine Heart Medical, it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long time.
00:52:30Dr. Hurt, we, uh, have a problem.
00:52:46Vail Hospital's new surgical program launches today.
00:52:49That soon?
00:52:50They're hosting a big celebration party tonight.
00:52:55It's a good thing we're ahead of...
00:52:57You're saying we're ready?
00:53:00Why would I lie?
00:53:02We've been tracking Vail's every move.
00:53:05Let him celebrate.
00:53:06It's just gonna backfire.
00:53:07How exactly does that work in our favor?
00:53:11Viv, do you remember what I told you when you first brought me here?
00:53:16Preston Vail's rushing this.
00:53:18He's desperate to beat us to the market.
00:53:20And?
00:53:20Their model's flawed.
00:53:21If they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure and their approach...
00:53:27We won't have to lift a damn finger.
00:53:30And what about when it falls apart?
00:53:31Then Heart Medical takes over as the future of modern surgery.
00:53:36So you're saying that Vail Hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that you designed?
00:53:41It's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast.
00:53:44They're using an early draft full of mistakes that I won't make again.
00:53:48They don't even realize the cracks in their foundation.
00:53:52That actually makes perfect sense.
00:53:56Which means we've already won.
00:53:59Well, this is a big day for us.
00:54:01We should celebrate.
00:54:02What do you have in mind?
00:54:03Drinks?
00:54:04Not quite.
00:54:05You and I are crashing the Vail launch party tonight.
00:54:09What?
00:54:10Why?
00:54:11Let me worry about that.
00:54:12In the meantime, ensure a smooth rollout.
00:54:15Finish whatever procedures you need to.
00:54:18And meet me in the lobby at 8 p.m. sharp.
00:54:35Preston, we've been through so much together.
00:54:37I know where I'm headed in life, and I know who I want by my side.
00:54:43Tonight, at this launch party, celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program,
00:54:49it's like the perfect moment to ask,
00:54:52will you marry me?
00:54:57You should be fun.
00:55:02Absolutely.
00:55:04You really know how to take care of your staff, Mr. Vail?
00:55:06Oh, stop it.
00:55:08Too bad you're taken.
00:55:09Yeah, yeah, what a shame.
00:55:11Where the fuck is Fiona?
00:55:13Told her meet me out here so we can go to this party together.
00:55:16Forget about her.
00:55:17She's just social climbing trash anyways.
00:55:20We'll show you a better time.
00:55:24Now that's an offer I can't refuse.
00:55:26Let's go.
00:55:26Fiona who?
00:55:27Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:55:33Let me get you up.
00:55:36The number you have dialed is unavailable.
00:55:57Please try again later.
00:55:58It's 20 in one day.
00:56:24All clean, all stable.
00:56:27The experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.
00:56:30You did it.
00:56:32No, we didn't.
00:56:37Dr. Marksman, you have to get to Vail's launch party pronto.
00:56:40You're already late.
00:56:41I need a change there.
00:56:42You don't have time.
00:56:43Where's Vivian?
00:56:46Taking care of something.
00:56:48She said it's really important that you be there,
00:56:49and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:56:53Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vail Hospital's revolutionary surgical program.
00:56:57What the fuck?
00:57:14You're my date, and you're wasted.
00:57:16I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.
00:57:19Yeah.
00:57:19God knows why I chose you, but I did.
00:57:21So if you want to keep your job and your status sober up, for God's sakes.
00:57:25Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?
00:57:47It's giving orderly sheep.
00:57:52Maybe he's here to bust tables.
00:57:55What are you doing at our launch party?
00:57:58You weren't invited.
00:57:59You so sure about that?
00:58:00I mean, look at you.
00:58:01This is a black tie?
00:58:03I mean, not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is.
00:58:07Oh, look who crawled in from the gutter.
00:58:10The found surgeon.
00:58:12The fraud.
00:58:14The nobody.
00:58:16Show up to my party in dirty scrubs, Marksman?
00:58:19Thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the lowlives.
00:58:22Guess I need to fire them, too.
00:58:23Oh, pardon me.
00:58:24I just came straight from surgery.
00:58:26Because some of us here are real surgeons.
00:58:29What are you trying to say?
00:58:30I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody, isn't me.
00:58:36I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.
00:58:43Got some nerve talking to my man Marksman like that.
00:58:47A genius like him leading our surgical team?
00:58:49You won't be able to get anywhere near our next party.
00:58:52Yeah, because it'll happen in prison.
00:58:54When you're all arrested for medical malpractice, criminal negligence, and identity theft.
00:59:00What are you talking about?
00:59:04Identity theft.
00:59:05Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?
00:59:08Yours?
00:59:09Let me give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.
00:59:12If you don't got it, just act like you do.
00:59:15Speaking from experience.
00:59:18Look around you.
00:59:20This is the elite among the elite.
00:59:23The best of the best in the medical field.
00:59:25Just because you waltz in here and you're dirty, cheap scrubs, doesn't make you one of us.
00:59:29Good.
00:59:30I'm glad.
00:59:31Because you're all beneath me.
00:59:33Isn't that right, Dr. Marksman?
00:59:36That's enough.
00:59:37Guards!
00:59:39This former employee is threatening us.
00:59:42Kick him out.
00:59:44Touch me and you'll regret it.
00:59:47I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
00:59:51What are you dumbasses doing?
00:59:52Grab him.
00:59:55Christy.
01:00:09What the hell is this?
01:00:11Dad.
01:00:12Relax.
01:00:13I, uh...
01:00:14Relax?
01:00:15This twat came in uninvited.
01:00:17I was just kicking him out.
01:00:18Guards!
01:00:19Remove him immediately.
01:00:20President Vail, it truly is an honor to finally meet you.
01:00:23Get out of my way.
01:00:25Dad, what are you doing?
01:00:26This is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...
01:00:30You are such a fool!
01:00:34Dad, what are you doing?
01:00:37Open your eyes, Preston.
01:00:39This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...
01:00:43You are a...
01:00:45Disgraced!
01:00:47Dad!
01:00:48My hospital meant something and you turned it into a...
01:00:53Into a...
01:00:54Dad!
01:00:56Dad!
01:01:01Dad!
01:01:03President Vail.
01:01:05Fuck away from my dad!
01:01:07Are you out of your mind? He is the best surgeon in this room.
01:01:10Oh yeah, like you give a shit about saving my dad.
01:01:12I'll die before I trust you two.
01:01:14Somebody get me a real doctor!
01:01:15David!
01:01:16David!
01:01:17Do something.
01:01:18It's cold.
01:01:18It's cold.
01:01:19Can't think of what to do next?
01:01:25Blanking?
01:01:26Can't think of a diagnosis?
01:01:28Shut up!
01:01:29Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?
01:01:32This is ridiculous.
01:01:33I thought this David guy was a genius.
01:01:36Why are you just standing there?
01:01:37Do something!
01:01:39What's the matter, David?
01:01:41If you need help, just ask.
01:01:43All you have to do is admit what you did.
01:01:46Right here.
01:01:47Right now.
01:01:48I can't blow my cover, but what if I kill him?
01:01:53I don't know anything about surgeries.
01:01:55I don't even know what's wrong with them.
01:01:57I did medical school on Zoom.
01:02:00David, this is a matter of life and death.
01:02:04Let it go.
01:02:06I...
01:02:07I...
01:02:09I can't.
01:02:11I can't do this.
01:02:14Okay, I can't.
01:02:16I can't do this.
01:02:17I can't do this without my notebook.
01:02:24That's my surgical notebook.
01:02:26He stole it from me.
01:02:34Okay, okay.
01:02:35I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.
01:02:41Okay.
01:02:43I gotta, I gotta...
01:02:45Here, take it, take it, take it.
01:02:47Okay.
01:02:48All right, hold his head.
01:02:49But tilt it back and apply pressure here.
01:02:54Okay.
01:02:54Okay.
01:03:05Okay.
01:03:07Okay.
01:03:08Okay.
01:03:09Four.
01:03:11Four.
01:03:11Four.
01:03:11Four.
01:03:11Four.
01:03:15Oh, thank God.
01:03:16How are you?
01:03:17What up?
01:03:23Oh, that's my guy.
01:03:25Surgical genius.
01:03:27That's how Val makes history.
01:03:29Somebody get this man a medal.
01:03:32Or at least a new department.
01:03:33If you still want that chief medical officer position, say the word.
01:03:38Now, do I have to have somebody escort you out?
01:03:42That maneuver.
01:03:44That notebook.
01:03:45It's mine.
01:03:46Then tell them.
01:03:51Where is he going?
01:03:53Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program at another fake hospital.
01:03:57Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?
01:03:59Say, hey, why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life?
01:04:07That procedure David used, I invented it.
01:04:11What kind of crack are you smoking?
01:04:13He's delusional.
01:04:15Somebody seriously check this guy's medical license.
01:04:18The notebook he used to save your father.
01:04:21That's mine.
01:04:22My handwriting.
01:04:24My theories.
01:04:26You're just pissed because he did what you couldn't.
01:04:29I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories as innovation.
01:04:34And when it fails,
01:04:35and it will,
01:04:38you're not the ones that'll pay for it.
01:04:41The patients will.
01:04:42You can't prove that.
01:04:44Not yet.
01:04:45But you can't fake medicine.
01:04:49Medicine and science.
01:04:50Always tell the truth.
01:04:55Our three's vitals just dropped.
01:04:57We've got uncontrolled bleeding.
01:04:58Second patient today.
01:04:59Same issue.
01:05:00Vessel ligation failed mid-operation.
01:05:03These techniques aren't viable.
01:05:04The veil method doesn't hold under stress.
01:05:07I mean, come on.
01:05:09Tonight proves it.
01:05:10We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country.
01:05:20I'll be right back.
01:05:22Just coordinating with the team.
01:05:26Talk to me.
01:05:28The vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again.
01:05:30This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.
01:05:35Use the compression step.
01:05:37That only works in controlled scenarios.
01:05:39We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.
01:05:43Look, just follow the notes.
01:05:48I designed those techniques for 101 guidance.
01:05:51Not mass implementation.
01:05:53Without calibration.
01:05:55It's unstable.
01:05:57It's dangerous.
01:05:58They tried to commercialize your success without you.
01:06:01Now people are paying for it.
01:06:04All good?
01:06:05Of course.
01:06:07Just routine coordination.
01:06:09Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.
01:06:12Your surgical program is failing.
01:06:14And patients are suffering.
01:06:16You've been out of the field for months.
01:06:18You wouldn't know?
01:06:19Yeah, I would know.
01:06:20Because the procedures that you're butchering, I invented.
01:06:24And I'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing.
01:06:28Bullshit.
01:06:29Bullshit.
01:06:29Oh, yes, this is Dr. Marksman.
01:06:37Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:06:40Okay, listen very carefully.
01:06:43Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.
01:06:52No, 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.
01:07:05Yes.
01:07:07Yes.
01:07:09Yes.
01:07:12How do we even know he made a phone call?
01:07:15This whole thing is performance, a charade.
01:07:17You stole his methods.
01:07:19This entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork.
01:07:25Uh, that's a lie.
01:07:26Then prove me wrong.
01:07:28Show them all a technique that I didn't create.
01:07:33Why would we believe anything he says?
01:07:35He was fired.
01:07:36Humiliated.
01:07:37You're right, I was fired.
01:07:39And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary.
01:07:45You know what?
01:07:45This is pathetic.
01:07:46He's just jealous.
01:07:48He missed his shot.
01:07:49Is that what you told yourself?
01:07:51When you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal?
01:07:55Even if that were true, this isn't the time or the place.
01:07:59I think it's exactly the time and place.
01:08:13I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator.
01:08:16And thanks to Adrian's guidance, our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients.
01:08:23Adrian just cleaned up your mess.
01:08:26You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready, the one person who could make them safe.
01:08:35Dad, you don't see the full picture here.
01:08:38Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.
01:08:40Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.
01:08:41This hospital was built on trust and integrity, and you've disgraced them both.
01:08:46Your father nearly died because of your ego, because of his lies.
01:08:54You saved me.
01:08:56You saved Nelson.
01:08:58And now you can save Vale.
01:09:01I tried to warn you all.
01:09:03No one listened.
01:09:04Well, they're listening now.
01:09:05You deserve to be at Vale more than either of those two, and probably even more than me.
01:09:13It was a mistake to let you go.
01:09:17Months ago, I was fired from Vale Hospital with procedures still in development.
01:09:22They weren't ready.
01:09:23They needed supervision.
01:09:25Precision.
01:09:27Development.
01:09:27Instead, someone took my notes and tried to fast-track them for glory.
01:09:32Oh, you can't prove that.
01:09:35Security footage.
01:09:39Of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital.
01:09:43Already submitted to the board.
01:09:46I built on what he started.
01:09:49Okay?
01:09:50I didn't steal.
01:09:51I enhanced it.
01:09:53Then why were patients about to die?
01:09:55You falsified rollout readiness?
01:09:59He did more than that.
01:10:01He put lives at risk to prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program.
01:10:06We're going to need to open a formal investigation on this.
01:10:10This is absurd.
01:10:12This was supposed to be our night.
01:10:13Oh, it's your night.
01:10:15It's just not the way you thought it'd be.
01:10:18You lied to me.
01:10:20I didn't lie.
01:10:21I simplified the truth.
01:10:23Simplify?
01:10:24You could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people.
01:10:29You nearly killed the president of the hospital.
01:10:32You passed up experimental procedures as launch ready.
01:10:35That's malpractice.
01:10:36They worked.
01:10:38Nelson's alive.
01:10:39Look, the patients, they're alive.
01:10:41Yeah, because of me.
01:10:42Those methods require sequential tensioning, breath control, special clamp techniques.
01:10:47Getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death.
01:10:50Wait, these really are your techniques?
01:10:52I tested them for years.
01:10:55It was never meant for mass rollout.
01:10:58Not without training.
01:10:59You're rewriting history?
01:11:01No, you tried to erase him from it.
01:11:04Adrian Marksman was the reason that Vale's program had a future.
01:11:09And without him, it won't.
01:11:11This is absurd!
01:11:13You're siding with this disgraced former resident?
01:11:16He's not disgraced, son.
01:11:18You are.
01:11:20You hijacked a program you didn't understand.
01:11:23And then when your ego wasn't enough, you propped up this fraud.
01:11:29Taking his side, dad?
01:11:32I'm your son.
01:11:34I'm taking the side of truth.
01:11:36And so will the board.
01:11:38We will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning.
01:11:41Until then, both of you are suspended from all surgical and administrative duties.
01:11:46Suspended?
01:11:47No, no, no.
01:11:47You can't do that.
01:11:48You don't understand the politics of running a hospital.
01:11:51We understand the liability.
01:11:52That's enough.
01:11:55Mr. Preston Vale, Dr. David Marksman, come with us.
01:12:01Dad, you're not going to laugh and drag me out like this.
01:12:03I'm your son.
01:12:04No, don't you touch me.
01:12:06You're not a child.
01:12:07Hey, dad!
01:12:08You're not my responsibility.
01:12:24Trin, please.
01:12:26I made a mistake.
01:12:27I see that now.
01:12:28I should have believed in you.
01:12:30I should have stood by you.
01:12:32You were right about everything.
01:12:33Just give me a second chance.
01:12:39Please.
01:12:40I still love you.
01:12:44Love, you traded him the second someone flashier walked by.
01:12:48You don't understand.
01:12:50I thought he was finished.
01:12:53I thought he had nothing left.
01:12:54So you sold him out.
01:12:56Mocked him.
01:12:58Over and over again.
01:13:00I was scared.
01:13:01I didn't know what to do.
01:13:03Oh, you knew.
01:13:04You just didn't care.
01:13:06Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser.
01:13:10Please.
01:13:12Say something.
01:13:15Anything.
01:13:16You had your chance, Fiona.
01:13:18And you spent it holding Preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive.
01:13:22You always belonged in my operating room.
01:13:33And I should have fought harder to keep you if I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes.
01:13:39The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board and David will never go near another patient again.
01:13:48We're rebuilding.
01:13:49We're rebuilding.
01:13:49And I want you back as Vale's chief of experimental surgery.
01:13:55I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.
01:13:59You had your chance, too.
01:14:02I'm not the same man that you fired.
01:14:04Well, all the more reason we need you back at Vale.
01:14:08Adrian 2.0.
01:14:10I'm not coming back.
01:14:14You're choosing her?
01:14:15Our rival?
01:14:17You arrogant little ingrate.
01:14:19I open the door for you and you slam it in my face.
01:14:24Just typical.
01:14:26Just when you had your moment, you turned your back on it for, for what, her?
01:14:31She's just going to use you up and toss you aside like everyone else.
01:14:35Oh, projecting much, Nelson.
01:14:38Get me out of here.
01:14:40Now!
01:14:58Karma has good timing.
01:14:59Speaking of timing, we should get back to work.
01:15:06We have lives to save.
01:15:07Hey!
01:15:09Not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.
01:15:13I still owe you that extra special bonus.
01:15:19Now?
01:15:20Well, there's no time like the present.
01:15:29This is what victory tastes like.
01:15:32It's not bad.
01:15:34I need a second opinion.
01:15:38Well, I've got all night.
01:15:39And you're not leaving this room until I've properly celebrated my genius surgeon.
01:15:45Should I be afraid of a performance review?
01:15:48You're already exceeding expectations.
01:15:51But I am very thorough.
01:15:53Okay.
01:15:53Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.
01:16:05Besides being you, of course.
01:16:17Okay.
01:16:18You're 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
