00:00:00A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured
00:00:09patients flooding into Bale Hospital's emergency department.
00:00:13The fate of these accident victims now rests in the hands of Bale's surgical team, their
00:00:18last hope for survival in the face of devastating trauma.
00:00:22Facials crashing!
00:00:23We need an attending surgeon now!
00:00:25All the hours are full.
00:00:26We've got three more criticals incoming.
00:00:28Sir, the patient trauma-3 is coding.
00:00:31I can't leave this one, where's Dr. Stevens?
00:00:33We need another attending surgeon.
00:00:35Everyone else is in the E.O.R.
00:00:40Need a hand?
00:00:54A new hire.
00:00:56You just started this month.
00:00:58Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level one trauma like this?
00:01:02The patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:03Then you prove yourself, Dr. Marksman.
00:01:05The patient's yours.
00:01:08Okay, we are going to perform a modified whipple.
00:01:16Whipple?
00:01:17For trauma?
00:01:18That's insane.
00:01:19Trust me.
00:01:20Metzenbaum scissors.
00:01:22Dr.
00:01:23Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:26That procedure will take hours.
00:01:29The patient won't survive.
00:01:31Bovey cautery.
00:01:32Watch.
00:01:35He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:41He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:44But waiting.
00:01:45It's under control.
00:01:46But how did he...
00:01:49Silk suture.
00:01:51Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:02:04I've never seen anything like this.
00:02:06Almost done.
00:02:15This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:17Jesus, Adrian.
00:02:29What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:02:31I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but that...
00:02:34That was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed.
00:02:37Where did you learn to operate like that?
00:02:39What you just did will go down in the history books.
00:02:42Wait.
00:02:43I heard President Bale personally recruited a medical prodigy who...
00:02:46...revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.
00:02:50Is that you?
00:02:58Final suture.
00:02:59Ms. Bale's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:03:06Doctor.
00:03:09The nurses.
00:03:10They said you did it.
00:03:12And you...
00:03:13You actually did.
00:03:16Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.
00:03:20Every surgeon on the west coast said it was inoperable, that she only had weeks to live, but...
00:03:26You...
00:03:27You saved my Catherine.
00:03:29She'll make a full recovery, President Bale.
00:03:31Name your price, whatever it is.
00:03:33We need you at Bale.
00:03:34My hospital.
00:03:35My hospital.
00:03:38Look, I'll explain later.
00:03:39Right now we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.
00:03:43It's gonna take hours.
00:03:45Y'all should go home.
00:03:46Get some rest.
00:03:47I'll take over from here.
00:03:49Okay.

00:21:15while you were off
00:21:16taking a nap

00:21:20this is crazy
00:21:21you've all passed me off
00:21:23as some second-rate surgeon
00:21:24and when a complication
00:21:26occurs
00:21:26which happened
00:21:27in this hospital
00:21:28under your incompetent
00:21:29leadership

00:21:32blame me
00:21:33the collective medical
00:21:35knowledge in this room
00:21:36isn't enough
00:21:36to fill a prescription pad
00:21:38if you were
00:21:40if you were even half the surgeon
00:21:41that you claim to be
00:21:42you would still have a job
00:21:43I'm not going to stand here
00:21:46and debate medicine

00:24:42with all due

00:24:44this is a conversation
00:24:45between medical directors
00:24:46someone in your position

00:24:48when to maintain silence
00:24:49Dr. Hart
00:24:50I must inform you
00:24:52that Dr. Marksman
00:24:53represents a serious
00:24:54liability
00:24:54he compromised
00:24:56patient safety
00:24:57and
00:24:57I don't believe

00:24:59your medical opinion

00:25:19reputation
00:25:20are you really
00:25:22willing to defend
00:25:23someone
00:25:23who violates
00:25:25the Hippocratic

00:25:33he's the one
00:25:36who specifically

00:25:39and inflated

00:26:57Dr. Marksman, I want you to revolutionize our surgery program.
00:27:03Hopefully this shows you.
00:27:04I mean what I say.
00:27:13Chief of surgery?
00:27:17You're offering all this to a surgeon who can't even keep his eyes open on the job?
00:27:21Dr. Hart, have you completely lost your medical judgment or are you on drugs?
00:27:27This is absurd.
00:27:28He was a mediocre surgeon here at Vail.
00:27:31And now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department?
00:27:37Medical board should review your hiring practices.
00:27:41Vivian, I appreciate your confidence.
00:27:45This isn't about money.
00:27:47Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you.
00:27:53She's offering herself up to him.
00:27:55She can't do that.
00:27:56Are you a doctor or a call girl?
00:27:59At Hart Medical Center, you will be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves.
00:28:05Including a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value.
00:28:10And I do mean anything, Dr. Marksman.
00:28:12Dr. Hart, for the sake of your own reputation, you need to know that this hack you're so eagerly pursuing has a documented history of negligence.
00:28:25My father confirmed it himself.
00:28:27Is that precisely what Nelson Bale told you?
00:28:30His exact words.
00:28:33Negligence, surgeon.
00:28:34What are those?
00:28:38Personal gifts from your father?
00:28:42My fellowship offer?
00:28:45My personal research lab?
00:28:47My surgical team?
00:28:48I'm leaving it all behind.
00:28:52You can tell President Vail that as of this moment, Dr. Marksman has permanently withdrawn from Vail Hospital and all of its affiliated institutions.
00:29:02You know what?
00:29:02Spare us the theatrics, Adrian.
00:29:04You never deserve those privileges in the first place.
00:29:07The medical board is going to see that justice is done.
00:29:10Oh, your stupidity.
00:29:14It's just astonishing.
00:29:16You treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels.
00:29:20This man is a life-saving artist.
00:29:27Dr. Hart, I understand there's some competition between your center and Vail Hospital.
00:29:32Yeah.
00:29:32Look, I'll be real.
00:29:34We're struggling to get out from under their shadow.
00:29:36Look, I'd be happy to help you out with that.
00:29:39Take me on, and I'll transform Hart into the number one surgical institution in the country.
00:29:46Look at yourself, Adrian.
00:29:48Offering your skills to a struggling clinic.
00:29:51How pathetically desperate.
00:29:52Oh, a backstabbing bottom feeder like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his caliber.
00:30:00How dare you talk to me like that!
00:30:03Your malpractice has caused catastrophic damage to my hospital's reputation.
00:30:08As the responsible party, I demand that you issue a formal apology to one of the major medical journals.
00:30:15And with an explanation to every affected Vail Hospital patient.
00:30:21Refuse me, and I will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently.
00:30:26That accusation isn't just baseness.
00:30:29It's absurd.
00:30:30What exactly do you think you're going to do about it?
00:30:32You've got no choice but to sign this confession.
00:30:35Oh, stop threatening my chief surgeon.
00:30:37If you insist on pursuing this vendetta, have your attorney send a formal complaint to Hart Medical Center.
00:30:44We'll consider it nothing less than a declaration of total war.
00:30:48If it's war you want, I will obliterate your dime store clinic with everything that I've got.
00:30:56Let's go.
00:30:57One more second and this cesspool is going to make me physically ill.
00:31:09Mr. Vail, don't you waste another precious moment on those secondary practitioners.
00:31:16David, you've proven your loyalty.
00:31:18The chief of surgery position is yours, effective immediately.
00:31:22This is extraordinary.
00:31:26I am honored beyond words.
00:31:31Don't forget about me, Preston.
00:31:34Don't worry, babe.
00:31:35You will be thoroughly compensated for your loyalty.
00:31:40How exciting.
00:31:42Mr. Vail, I swear on my medical oath that I will not disappoint you.
00:31:48Mr. Vail, a commuter train derailed.
00:31:50Six critical patients incoming.
00:31:52Dr. Marksman, OR1 now.
00:31:54Now's your time to shine, Dr. Marksman.
00:31:56Shit.
00:31:57I'm screwed.
00:31:58Adrian's surgical journal with all his proprietary techniques is still in my office.
00:32:02If Preston finds out, I stole it and then couldn't even use it properly.
00:32:07I implemented a groundbreaking surgical protocol that I invented myself.
00:32:13These techniques are revolutionary.
00:32:16I'll walk you through it in detail after the emergency.
00:32:18It's impressive, Dr. Marksman.
00:32:21You've obviously got your own methodology.
00:32:23No need to bore me with the specifics.
00:32:25I trust your brilliance.
00:32:26Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:32:28With you leading my surgical team, I can focus on what really matters.
00:32:33Hospital expansion.
00:32:36Again, sir, I'm deeply honored.
00:32:38Behold, Vail Hospital's new chief of surgery.
00:32:47Let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now.
00:32:54Glad you're feeling better, honey.
00:32:56Yeah.
00:32:57Well, sorry.
00:32:59Who's this?
00:33:00Nelson Vail speaking.
00:33:05President Vail, Dr. Vivian Hart here.
00:33:08I am calling to let you know that as of this morning,
00:33:11Hart Medical Center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena.
00:33:15Revolutionary surgical procedures are Vail Hospital's domain.
00:33:20Are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight?
00:33:23This is merely a professional courtesy call, not an invitation for debate.
00:33:28Now, just...
00:33:30Just that conniving bitch plotting.
00:33:37She knows Adrian is our surgical secret weapon.
00:33:41Why would she deliberately provoke a medical war she has absolutely no chance of winning?
00:33:50Unless...
00:33:51Dad, we've got multiple traumas coming in.
00:33:57Just tell me you didn't fire Dr. Marksman.
00:34:00Dad, relax.
00:34:03Fire the other one.
00:34:04That incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned.
00:34:07Then explain to me why Hart Medical Center believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy.
00:34:14Because I masterfully led Vivian Hart into a false sense of reality.
00:34:20There's no way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures.
00:34:23I convinced Vivian that she's acquired surgical brilliance.
00:34:28But in reality, she's hired our disgraced, discarded loser.
00:34:32So you deliberately manipulated Vivian?
00:34:34She thinks she's hired genius behind Vail Hospital's groundbreaking procedures.
00:34:39That's why she had the audacity to declare war on you.
00:34:42Impressive, son.
00:34:43Impressive, son.
00:34:44You're finally showing some of the leadership qualities.
00:34:47Uh, I've been waiting to see out of you.
00:34:48I think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division.
00:34:53Dad, this, this is everything I've worked for.
00:34:59We'll get to work immediately.
00:35:01We're going to expose Hart Medical Center for the low-grade institution it truly is.
00:35:08Their humiliation will be quick and absolute.
00:35:12I won't let you down.
00:35:15Darling, surgical innovation is the future of Vail.
00:35:19Preston only got his MBA last year.
00:35:21Do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program?
00:35:26I would never take a risk like this if Preston was our only asset.
00:35:31Remember, we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon.
00:35:36You mean the surgeon that saved my life?
00:35:38Dr. Adrian Marksman.
00:35:40Exactly.
00:35:41And all I need to do is stay hands-off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents.
00:35:51As long as Adrian is with Vail Hospital, Hart Medical Center has no chance of competing.
00:35:58Not only that, Vivian fell for Preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster,
00:36:05Dr. David Marksman.
00:36:07What we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble.
00:36:21So, now that you've seen the surgical department, what do you think?
00:36:27It's not bad.
00:36:29It's a small team, but they're talented.
00:36:31What you've built here, it's impressive, Viv.
00:36:37It's good to see you again after all these years, Adrian.
00:36:40You too.
00:36:42We need to expand.
00:36:44It's too small for what I'm planning.
00:36:47Also, I heard you weren't the only surgeon Preston Vail fired.
00:36:56We have all the angles figured out, don't you?
00:36:59And I always find the best one.
00:37:00I'm going to start recruiting.
00:37:12Good.
00:37:14The faster we rise, the more rewarding this partnership becomes.
00:37:19This better be good.
00:37:34Mr. Vail, you wanted to see me?
00:37:37My father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department.
00:37:47Given your new position as chief of surgery, I'm appointing you head of innovation.
00:37:52Mr. Vail, I, uh...
00:37:54Is there an issue with that?
00:37:56No, absolutely not.
00:37:57The budget for innovation is astronomical, and President Vail has already handed control to his son?
00:38:04If I oversee these procedures, I could divert significant resources to my personal research.
00:38:10Mr. Vail, you can trust me completely.
00:38:14I am precisely the right man for the job.
00:38:18Preston, we have a catastrophe on our hands.
00:38:21Two attending surgeons just submitted their resignation simultaneously.
00:38:23The department can't possibly maintain its caseload.
00:38:25What? They both resigned at once? What was their explanation?
00:38:29They refused to disclose their reasons.
00:38:31But there's talk they were recruited by a former Vail physician,
00:38:33along with the three other surgeons you fired before.
00:38:36Former physician Adrian Marksman, this has his saboteur signature all over it.
00:38:41President, what's our contingency plan?
00:38:43The surgical department is severely understaffed.
00:38:45If any more surgeons leave, patients will suffer.
00:38:48Okay, everybody needs to remain calm.
00:38:52You still have me.
00:38:53I can rebuild this department.
00:38:56Ah, yes.
00:38:57With your stellar reputation, we should be able to get the best of the best.
00:39:01Exactly.
00:39:02So we lost some second-rate talent.
00:39:05Let him go.
00:39:07I'll make some calls to Cedars-Sinai and UCLA.
00:39:12Good work, Marksman.
00:39:13This is working out perfectly.
00:39:19Now I can install my own allies in key positions.
00:39:22Soon, I'll control the entire hospital's medical direction.
00:39:25It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Hart.
00:39:51This is Dr. Parker here.
00:39:57He's a triple board certified surgeon.
00:39:59And soon, he'll be the head of trauma surgery.
00:40:01This is Dr. Rose, Chen, Rose, and Thomas.
00:40:06All consummate professionals.
00:40:08My most trusted colleagues back at Vail.
00:40:10With this surgical team, Hart Medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country.
00:40:20Actually, the whole world.
00:40:22We're here to begin, Dr. Hart.
00:40:24Well, welcome to Hart Medical Center.
00:40:26I am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us, but I do need to be transparent.
00:40:34We have got considerable ground to cover before we can truly challenge Vail Hospital's dominance.
00:40:40Have no fear, Dr. Hart.
00:40:42With Adrian leading our team, we'll be three steps ahead of anything Vail attempts.
00:40:46Yes, but Vail has already implemented Adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols.
00:40:52Yeah, about that.
00:40:54It's a preliminary version.
00:40:55If they continue to develop this approach without modification...
00:40:59Then what?
00:40:59A lot of deaths.
00:41:01A lot of lawsuits.
00:41:03A lot of patients could be harmed.
00:41:04Or worse, these procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement.
00:41:10Those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training.
00:41:15Without that foundation...
00:41:16We're talking about serious complications.
00:41:19Preventable harm.
00:41:20Our first priority has to be patient safety.
00:41:22We need to perfect these procedures.
00:41:25And then we can find a way to prevent Vail from continuing with the flawed protocols.
00:41:30Exactly.
00:41:31It's not about competition or pride.
00:41:33It's about saving lives.
00:41:34We're using our experience with the trial procedures I did at Vail to develop next-generation surgical techniques eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies.
00:41:48Even if Vail Hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new, we'll maintain our significant advantage.
00:41:57And if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols, rest assured, their outcomes will deteriorate.
00:42:04I don't wish it upon their patients, that's for sure.
00:42:08Remember this moment.
00:42:10In this battle for medical supremacy, Heart Medical Center will emerge victorious.
00:42:21It's 3 a.m.
00:42:23Lost track of time again.
00:42:25Yeah.
00:42:31Viv, you surprised me.
00:42:32It looks like you could use a nice rub.
00:42:37Do you mind?
00:42:39No.
00:42:41I mean, yeah.
00:42:44Will you give all your surgeons massages?
00:42:47Only the ones I really, really like.
00:42:54You really, really like me?
00:42:57Adrienne, I've really, really liked you since residency.
00:42:59Nothing's changed.
00:43:04You were our most brilliant resident in the program.
00:43:08I never imagined someone like you would like me.
00:43:10There was never anyone else that got my attention.
00:43:13Only you.
00:43:16But you were completely oblivious.
00:43:19And then you just vanished from the program.
00:43:22Well, I left to join the Experimental Surgical Fellowship in Switzerland.
00:43:26I know.
00:43:29Your talent was extraordinary even then.
00:43:33Back then, I made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday.
00:43:38You know, when I established Heart Medical Center, my first priority was recruiting you.
00:43:43But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Vail, had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives.
00:43:53I understand now.
00:43:54So, should we pick up where we left off in residency?
00:44:07You're the boss.
00:44:09That's right.
00:44:10And as your boss, I say, come home with me.
00:44:15Tonight?
00:44:15You lost everything when Preston fired you.
00:44:19Hospital privileges.
00:44:21Research funding.
00:44:23Even your hospital-subsidized apartment.
00:44:28You have literally nowhere else to go tonight.
00:44:32Come with me.
00:44:35Where?
00:44:37My place.
00:44:38All right.
00:44:48I'll admit it.
00:44:50That was the best meal I've had in months.
00:44:53Careful, Dr. Marksman.
00:44:55I might start thinking you're easy to please.
00:44:57That just depends on the company.
00:45:00Well, starting tonight, this is your new home.
00:45:04Until the program's fully established, it just makes sense.
00:45:08Are you sure about that?
00:45:10We already work late hours.
00:45:12Living together could get complicated.
00:45:16Well, I like complicated.
00:45:19Keeps things interesting.
00:45:21And where exactly will I be sleeping?
00:45:24Well, my master suite has a California king.
00:45:35Plenty of room.
00:45:38If things ever need to get more collaborative.
00:45:43Really?
00:45:45Relax.
00:45:46I'm only teasing.
00:45:49Tonight, at least.
00:45:51Come on.
00:45:55I'll show you your room.
00:45:58Unless you'd rather have a nightcap.
00:46:01And mine.
00:46:01Things could get dangerous.
00:46:14Is this pathetic attempt really the best that you can do?
00:46:17You are completely worthless as surgeons.
00:46:24Dr. Marksman.
00:46:26The experimental procedures we're trying to replicate here are extraordinarily intricate.
00:46:30We need at least six months to properly master.
00:46:34Six months?
00:46:35You have 72 hours.
00:46:37And I expect hourly updates on my desk.
00:46:39Sir, brushing these delicate procedures dramatically increases the possibility of potentially fatal complications.
00:46:46Three days.
00:46:47Then you don't get one hour more.
00:46:50Go.
00:46:51Go.
00:46:51Report, Dr. Marksman.
00:46:56What's our status?
00:46:58Excellent progress, Mr. Vale.
00:46:59We will be advancing to phase two implementation within three days.
00:47:04That's exactly what I wanted to hear.
00:47:06I knew my judgment in appointing you was flawless.
00:47:08Preston, I need an update on the experimental surgery program.
00:47:18Everything's proceeding perfectly, Father.
00:47:20Outstanding.
00:47:21When this is done, I'll throw you a huge party to celebrate the launch.
00:47:25Your father must be so proud of you.
00:47:28Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:47:30I'll make sure my father understands your invaluable contribution.
00:47:34This is my shot.
00:47:35Why settle for chief of surgery?
00:47:37With the right maneuvering, I could become the next chief medical officer of Vale Hospital.
00:47:41Mr. Vale, my purpose is to execute the visionary medical strategies of brilliant administrators such as yourself.
00:47:51I believe that in the position of chief medical officer, I could implement your ideas more effectively throughout the entire hospital.
00:47:58If these procedures prove successful, I will personally discuss your advancement with the board.
00:48:03Truly, that's...
00:48:04I am profoundly grateful, sir.
00:48:28You're finally awake.
00:48:29You can keep appreciating the view while you eat.
00:48:37All right.
00:48:38Ooh, breakfast.
00:48:39Looks good.
00:48:44When you're finished eating, we'll head directly to the surgical wing.
00:48:47Sound good?
00:48:48Yes.
00:48:50Absolutely.
00:48:51Good.
00:48:53Get it up and running, and there may be a special bonus waiting for you.
00:48:58Extra special.
00:48:59Extra special.
00:49:01Extra special.
00:49:10Okay, team.
00:49:11We're approaching a critical phase of our program development.
00:49:14We have groundbreaking procedures that we need to perfect in very little time.
00:49:19So, let's get to it.
00:49:20Let's start revolutionizing medicine.
00:49:23I have excellent news for all of you.
00:49:25I've just finalized arrangements with the board.
00:49:27And upon successful implementation of our surgical innovations, each of you will receive a fully funded medical mission trip anywhere in the world that you choose to share your expertise.
00:49:38And when the time comes that our procedures receive national certification, every surgeon on this team will be gifted a percentage of the royalties from any techniques we patent.
00:49:50At a heart medical center, our surgeons are the lifeblood of our institution, and you will be compensated accordingly.
00:50:01Dr. Hart, we are fully committed to making this surgical program a success.
00:50:09Absolutely.
00:50:10You'll be seeing progress ASAP.
00:50:12Vail Hospital won't know what hit him.
00:50:14With Adrian leading us, victory is guaranteed.
00:50:17Hart is best!
00:50:18Hart is best!
00:50:19Hart is best!
00:50:21Hart is best!

00:52:20Vail General Hospital
00:52:22is the gold standard
00:52:25and you two are just standing around like clueless little interns
00:52:28if these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow
00:52:31you're both gone
00:52:32is that clear
00:52:33yes sir
00:52:35this is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team

00:52:56we're just refining the final stages
00:52:59yeah
00:53:00everything is under control
00:53:02good
00:53:03there's a problem I expect to hear it from you
00:53:06with no cover-ups
00:53:07of course sir
00:53:08Mr. Vail
00:53:11not now
00:53:12go get me the latest performance reports
00:53:14it uh
00:53:19looks like Preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here
00:53:24don't worry
00:53:25when Preston makes me chief medical officer
00:53:28I'm gonna need someone
00:53:29flexible in my corner
00:53:31I was back at the winning team Dr. Marksman
00:53:34today Vail Hospital officially launched
00:53:44its highly anticipated next generation surgical program
00:53:48this cutting edge approach to surgical care
00:53:50is being closely watched by the medical industry
00:53:53especially as Heart Medical's competing program
00:53:56was released on the same day
00:53:58the question now is
00:53:59who will define the future of surgery
00:54:02relax Mr. Vail
00:54:04Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance
00:54:07I hope you're right
00:54:09for your sake
00:54:11didn't you say that uh
00:54:16if the rollout went well
00:54:17that you'd make me
00:54:18chief medical officer
00:54:20it's not a success
00:54:21yet
00:54:23enjoy tonight's launch party
00:54:26because if our results don't outshine Heart Medical
00:54:29it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate
00:54:31for a long time
00:54:32Dr. Hurt we um
00:54:45have a problem
00:54:46Vail Hospital's new surgical program launches today
00:54:50that soon?
00:54:52they're hosting a big celebration party tonight
00:54:55it's a good thing we're ahead of
00:54:59you're saying we're ready?
00:55:03why would I lie?
00:55:04we've been tracking Vail's every move
00:55:06let him celebrate
00:55:08it's just gonna backfire
00:55:09how exactly does that work in our favor?
00:55:13Viv, do you remember what I told you
00:55:15when you first brought me here?
00:55:18Preston Vail's rushing this
00:55:19he's desperate to beat us to the market
00:55:21and?
00:55:22their model's flawed
00:55:23if they keep moving forward
00:55:25without realizing their structural failure
00:55:27and their approach
00:55:28we won't have to lift a damn finger
00:55:31and what about when it falls apart?
00:55:33then Heart Medical takes over
00:55:35as the future of modern surgery
00:55:36so you're saying that Vail Hospital
00:55:40has been refining the prototype surgical method
00:55:42that you designed?
00:55:44it's the only way they could have gotten this far
00:55:45this fast
00:55:46they're using an early draft
00:55:48full of mistakes
00:55:49that I won't make again
00:55:50they don't even realize
00:55:52the cracks in their foundation
00:55:54that actually
00:55:55makes perfect sense
00:55:57which means
00:55:59we've already won
00:56:01well this is a big day for us
00:56:03we should celebrate
00:56:04what do you have in mind?

00:58:02please
00:58:03It's 20 in one day.
00:58:28All clean, all stable.
00:58:31Experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.
00:58:34You did it.
00:58:36No, we didn't.
00:58:40Dr. Marksman, you have to get to Vail's launch party pronto.
00:58:44You're already late.
00:58:45I need a change there.
00:58:46You don't have time.
00:58:47Where's Vivian?
00:58:49Taking care of something.
00:58:51She said it's really important that you be there and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:58:57Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vail Hospital's revolutionary surgical program.
00:59:03What the fuck?
00:59:17You're my date and you're wasted.
00:59:20I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.
00:59:22Yeah, God knows why I chose you, but I did.
00:59:25So if you want to keep your job and your status sober up for God's sakes.
00:59:29Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?
00:59:51It's giving orderly sheep.
00:59:57Maybe he's here to bust tables.
01:00:00What are you doing at our launch party?
01:00:02You weren't invited.
01:00:03You're so sure about that?
01:00:04I mean, look at you.
01:00:05This is a black tie.
01:00:07I mean, not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is.
01:00:09Oh, look who crawled in from the gutter.
01:00:15The failed surgeon.
01:00:16The fraud.
01:00:18The nobody.
01:00:20Show up to my party and dirty scrubs, Marksman?
01:00:23Thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the low lives.
01:00:26Guess you need to fire them, too.
01:00:28Pardon me.
01:00:28I just came straight from surgery.
01:00:30Because some of us here are real surgeons.
01:00:33What are you trying to say?
01:00:34I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody, isn't me.
01:00:44I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.
01:00:48Got some nerve talking to my man Marksman like that.
01:00:52A genius like him leading our surgical team?
01:00:54You won't be able to get anywhere near our next party.
01:00:57Yeah, because it'll happen in prison.
01:00:58When you're all arrested for medical malpractice, criminal negligence, and identity theft.
01:01:06What are you talking about?
01:01:08Identity theft?
01:01:10Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?
01:01:12Yours?
01:01:14Let me give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.
01:01:17If you don't got it, just act like you do.
01:01:20Speaking from experience.
01:01:23Look around you.
01:01:24This is the elite among the elite.
01:01:27The best of the best in the medical field.
01:01:30Just because you waltz in here and you're dirty, cheap scrubs, doesn't make you one of us.
01:01:34Good.
01:01:35I'm glad.
01:01:36Because you're all beneath me.
01:01:38Isn't that right, Dr. Marksman?
01:01:41That's enough.
01:01:42Guards?
01:01:44This former employee's threatening us.
01:01:46Kick him out.
01:01:48Touch me and you'll regret it.
01:01:50I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:01:55What are you dumbasses doing?
01:01:57Grab him.
01:02:12Preston.
01:02:14What the hell is this?
01:02:16Dad.
01:02:18Relax.
01:02:18I, uh...
01:02:19Relax.
01:02:21This twat came in uninvited.
01:02:23I was just kicking him out.
01:02:23Guards, remove him immediately.
01:02:25President Bale, it truly is an honor to finally meet you.
01:02:28You get out of my way.
01:02:30Dad, what are you doing?
01:02:31This is, this is, this is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...
01:02:35You are such a fool!
01:02:39Dad.
01:02:40What are you, what are you doing?
01:02:42Open your eyes, Preston.
01:02:44This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...
01:02:48You are a...
01:02:49You are a...
01:02:50Disgraced!
01:02:52Dad!
01:02:54My hospital meant something and you turned it into a...
01:02:58Into a...
01:02:59Dad!
01:03:01Dad!
01:03:02Dad!
01:03:02Ah!
01:03:02Dad!
01:03:07Oh...
01:03:07President Bale.
01:03:10Fuck away from my dad!
01:03:12Are you out of your mind?
01:03:13He is the best surgeon in this room.
01:03:15Oh, yeah, like you give a shit about saving my dad.
01:03:17I'll die before I trust you two.
01:03:19Somebody get me a real doctor!
01:03:21David!
01:03:22David!
01:03:23Do something.
01:03:24It's cold.
01:03:29Can't think of what to do next?
01:03:31Blanking?
01:03:32Can't think of a diagnosis?
01:03:33Shut up!
01:03:35Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?
01:03:37This is ridiculous.
01:03:38I thought this David guy was a genius.
01:03:41Are you just standing there?
01:03:42Do something!
01:03:43What's the matter, David?
01:03:46If you need help, just ask.
01:03:49All you have to do is admit what you did.
01:03:51Right here.
01:03:52Right now.
01:03:54I can't blow my cover, but...
01:03:56What if I kill him?
01:03:59I don't know anything about surgeries.
01:04:01I don't even know what's wrong with them.
01:04:03I did medical school on Zoom.
01:04:06David, this is a matter of life and death.
01:04:10Let it go!
01:04:10I...
01:04:12I...
01:04:13I...
01:04:14I can't.
01:04:17I can't do this.
01:04:20Okay, I can't...
01:04:21I can't do this.
01:04:23I can't do this without my notebook.
01:04:27That's my surgical notebook.
01:04:31He stole it from me.
01:04:40Okay, okay.
01:04:42I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.
01:04:45I can't do this.
01:04:46I can't do this.
01:04:47Okay.
01:04:48Okay.
01:04:49I got it.
01:04:50I got it.
01:04:51Here.
01:04:52Take it.
01:04:53Take it.
01:04:54Okay.
01:04:55All right.
01:04:56Hold his head.
01:04:57But tilt it back and apply pressure here.
01:05:00Okay.
01:05:01Okay.
01:05:02Okay.
01:05:03Okay.
01:05:04Okay.
01:05:05Great.
01:05:06Hold on.
01:05:07Hold on.
01:05:08Hold on.
01:05:09Oh, thank God.
01:05:10How are you?
01:05:11Let it out.
01:05:12Oh.
01:05:14Oh.
01:05:15Oh.
01:05:16Oh.
01:05:17Oh.
01:05:18Oh.
01:05:19Oh.
01:05:20Oh.
01:05:21Oh, thank God.
01:05:22How are you?
01:05:23Let it out.
01:05:24Oh.
01:05:25Oh.
01:05:26Oh.
01:05:28Oh.
01:05:29Oh.
01:05:30That's my guy.
01:05:31Surgical genius.
01:05:32Oh.
01:05:33Oh.
01:05:34That's how Val makes history.
01:05:35Somebody get this man a medal.
01:05:37Or at least a new department.
01:05:39If you still want that chief medical officer position,
01:05:42say the word.
01:05:43Now, do I have to have somebody escort you out?
01:05:48That maneuver.
01:05:50That notebook.
01:05:51It's mine.
01:05:52Then tell them.
01:05:57Where is he going?
01:05:58Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program
01:06:01at another fake hospital.
01:06:03Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?
01:06:05Say, why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life?
01:06:12That procedure David used, I invented it.
01:06:17What kind of crack are you smoking?
01:06:19He's delusional.
01:06:21Somebody seriously check this guy's medical license.
01:06:24The notebook he used to save your father.
01:06:27That's mine.
01:06:28My handwriting.
01:06:30My theories.
01:06:31You're just pissed because he did what you couldn't.
01:06:35I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories as innovation.
01:06:39And when it fails,
01:06:42then it will.
01:06:44You're not the ones that'll pay for it.
01:06:46The patients will.
01:06:48You can't prove that.
01:06:49Not yet.
01:06:51But you can't fake medicine.
01:06:54Medicine and science always tell the truth.
01:06:58The truth.
01:07:02Our three's vitals just dropped.
01:07:03We've got uncontrolled bleeding.
01:07:04Second patient today.
01:07:05Same issue.
01:07:06Vessel ligation failed mid-operation.
01:07:09These techniques aren't viable.
01:07:10The veil method doesn't hold under stress.
01:07:14I mean, come on.
01:07:15Tonight proves it.
01:07:16We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country.
01:07:19I'll be right back.
01:07:28Just coordinating with the team.
01:07:33Talk to me.
01:07:34The vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again.
01:07:36This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.
01:07:41Use the compression step.
01:07:43That only works in controlled scenarios.
01:07:45We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.
01:07:49Look, just follow the notes.
01:07:55I designed those techniques for 101 guidance.
01:07:57Not mass implementation.
01:08:00Without calibration.
01:08:02It's unstable.
01:08:03It's dangerous.
01:08:04They tried to commercialize your success without you.
01:08:07Now people are paying for it.
01:08:11All good?
01:08:12Of course.
01:08:14Just routine coordination.
01:08:15Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.
01:08:19Your surgical program is failing.
01:08:21And patients are suffering.
01:08:23You've been out of the field for months.
01:08:25You wouldn't know.
01:08:26Yeah, I would know.
01:08:27Because the procedures that you're butchering, I invented.
01:08:31And I'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing.
01:08:34Bullshit.
01:08:35Oh, shit.
01:08:42Oh, yes, this is Dr. Marksman.
01:08:44Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:08:47Okay, listen very carefully.
01:08:50Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.
01:08:59No, 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.
01:09:12Yes.
01:09:14Yes.
01:09:16Yes.
01:09:19How do we even know he made a phone call?
01:09:22This whole thing is performance, a charade.
01:09:25You stole his methods.
01:09:27This entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork.
01:09:32Uh, that's a lie.
01:09:33Then prove me wrong.
01:09:35Show them all a technique that I didn't create.
01:09:37Why would we believe anything he says?
01:09:42He was fired, humiliated.
01:09:44You're right, I was fired.
01:09:46And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary.
01:09:52You know what? This is pathetic.
01:09:54He's just jealous.
01:09:55He missed his shot.
01:09:57Is that what you told yourself?
01:09:59When you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal?
01:10:01Even if that were true, this isn't the time or the place.
01:10:06I think it's exactly the time and place.
01:10:08I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator, and thanks to Adrian's guidance, our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients.
01:10:30Adrian just cleaned up your mess.
01:10:33You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready, and you fired him.
01:10:38The one person who could make them safe.
01:10:42Dad?
01:10:44You don't see the full picture here.
01:10:46Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.
01:10:49This hospital was built on trust and integrity, and you've disgraced them both.
01:10:53Your father nearly died because of your ego.
01:10:58Because of his lies.
01:11:01You saved me.
01:11:03You saved Nelson.
01:11:05And now, you can save Vale.
01:11:08I tried to warn you all.
01:11:10No one listened.
01:11:12They're listening now.
01:11:14You deserve to be at Vale more than either of those two.
01:11:18And probably even more than me.
01:11:20It was a mistake to let you go.
01:11:24Months ago, I was fired from Vale Hospital, with procedures still in development.
01:11:30They weren't ready.
01:11:31They needed supervision.
01:11:33Precision.
01:11:35Development.
01:11:36Instead, someone took my notes and tried to fast-track them for glory.
01:11:40Oh.
01:11:41You can't prove that.
01:11:43Security footage.
01:11:44Of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital.
01:11:51Already submitted to the board.
01:11:54I built on what he started.
01:11:57Okay?
01:11:58I didn't steal.
01:12:00I enhanced it.
01:12:01Then why were patients about to die?
01:12:04You falsified rollout readiness?
01:12:07He did more than that.
01:12:08He put lives at risk.
01:12:10To prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program.
01:12:14We're going to need to open a formal investigation on this.
01:12:18This is absurd.
01:12:19This was supposed to be our night.
01:12:21Oh, it's your night.
01:12:23Just not the way you thought it'd be.
01:12:26You lied to me.
01:12:28I didn't lie.
01:12:29I simplified the truth.
01:12:31Simplify?
01:12:32You could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people.
01:12:37You nearly killed the president of the hospital.
01:12:40You passed up experimental procedures as launch ready.
01:12:43That's malpractice.
01:12:45They worked.
01:12:46Nelson's alive.
01:12:47Look, the patients, they're alive.
01:12:49Yeah, because of me.
01:12:51Those methods require sequential tensioning, breath control, special clamp techniques.
01:12:56Getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death.
01:12:59Wait, these really are your techniques?
01:13:00I tested them for years.
01:13:03It was never meant for mass rollout.
01:13:06Not without training.
01:13:08You're rewriting history?
01:13:10No, you tried to erase him from it.
01:13:12Adrian Marksman was the reason that Vale's program had a future.
01:13:17And without him, it won't.
01:13:19This is absurd!
01:13:21You're siding with this disgraced former resident?
01:13:24He's not disgraced, son.
01:13:26You are.
01:13:27You hijacked a program you didn't understand.
01:13:32And then when your ego wasn't enough, you propped up this fraud.
01:13:39Taking his side, dad?
01:13:41I'm your son.
01:13:43I'm taking the side of truth.
01:13:45And so will the board.
01:13:46We will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning.
01:13:50Until then, both of you are suspended from all surgical and administrative duties.
01:13:55Suspended?
01:13:56No, no, no, you can't do that.
01:13:57You don't understand the politics of running a hospital.
01:14:00We understand the liability.
01:14:01That's enough.
01:14:03Mr. Preston Vale.
01:14:06Dr. David Marksman.
01:14:08Come with us.
01:14:10Dad.
01:14:11You're not gonna often drag me out like this.
01:14:12I'm your son.
01:14:13No.
01:14:14Don't you touch me.
01:14:15You're not a child.
01:14:16Hey!
01:14:17Dad!
01:14:19Son of a...
01:14:21Get off me!
01:14:23I'm not a child!
01:14:25You're not my responsibility.
01:14:26Adrian, please.
01:14:35I made a mistake.
01:14:36I see that now.
01:14:37I should've believed in you.
01:14:39I should've stood by you.
01:14:41You were right about everything.
01:14:46Just give me a second chance.
01:14:48Please.
01:14:50I still love you.
01:14:53Love?
01:14:54You traded him the second someone flashier walked by.
01:14:58You don't understand.
01:15:00I thought he was finished.
01:15:02I thought he had nothing left.
01:15:04So you sold him out.
01:15:06Mocked him.
01:15:07Over and over again.
01:15:09I was scared.
01:15:11I...
01:15:12I didn't know what to do.
01:15:13Oh, you knew.
01:15:14You just didn't care.
01:15:16Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser.
01:15:20Please.
01:15:22Say something.
01:15:24Anything.
01:15:26You had your chance, Fiona.
01:15:28And you spent it holding Preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive.
01:15:31You always belonged in my operating room.
01:15:32And I should've fought harder to keep you if I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes.
01:15:48The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board.
01:15:54And David will never go near another patient again.
01:15:58We're rebuilding.
01:16:00And I want you back.
01:16:01As Vale's chief of experimental surgery.
01:16:04I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.
01:16:09You had your chance too.
01:16:11I'm not the same man that you fired.
01:16:14Well...
01:16:15All the more reason we need you back at Vale.
01:16:18Adrian 2.0.
01:16:20I'm not coming back.
01:16:24You're choosing her?
01:16:25Our rival?
01:16:27You arrogant little ingrate.
01:16:28I open the door for you and you slam it in my face.
01:16:33Just typical.
01:16:35Just when you had your moment, you turned your back on it.
01:16:39For... for what? Her?
01:16:41She's just gonna use you up and toss you aside like everyone else.
01:16:44Oh.
01:16:45Projecting much, Nelson.
01:16:48Get me out of here.
01:16:50Now!
01:17:08Karma has good timing.
01:17:09Okay.
01:17:12Speaking of timing, we should get back to work.
01:17:15We have lives to save.
01:17:17Hey!
01:17:19Not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.
01:17:23I still owe you that extra special bonus.
01:17:28Now?
01:17:30Well, there's no time like the present.
01:17:39This is what victory tastes like.
01:17:42It's not bad.
01:17:44I need a second opinion.
01:17:48Well, I've got all night.
01:17:50And you're not leaving this room until I've properly celebrated my genius surgeon.
01:17:55Should I be afraid of a performance review?
01:17:58You're already exceeding expectations.
01:18:01But I am very thorough.
01:18:10Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.
01:18:13Besides meeting you, of course.
01:18:15Besides being you, of course.
01:18:16Besides being you, of course.
01:18:17I'm not there.
01:18:19I'm so happy to be able to go.
01:18:20Why are you performing?
01:18:22Why are you wearing up your outfit without a habit?
01:18:24It's not bad.
01:18:25I'm so happy to go.
01:18:26Makes me look.
01:18:28Why are you wearing it?
01:18:30Are you wearing under your hat?
01:18:31You are wearing your hat.
01:18:33She's wearing my hat.
