00:00:00A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured patients flooding into Bale Hospital's emergency department.
00:00:10The fate of these accident victims now rests in the hands of Bale's surgical team, their last hope for survival in the face of devastating trauma.
00:00:19It's just crashing! We need an attending surgeon now!
00:00:23All the hours are full. We've got three more critical things coming.
00:00:26Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding.
00:00:29I can't leave this long. Where's Dr. Stevens?
00:00:31We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the ER.
00:00:51You think it?
00:00:52A new hire. You're just starting this month.
00:00:56Some junior surgeon at a residency isn't ready for a level 1 trauma like this?
00:01:00The patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:02Improve yourself, Dr. Marksman. Patient's yours.
00:01:06Okay, we are going to perform a modified whipple.
00:01:14Whipple? Performa?
00:01:16That's insane.
00:01:17Trust me.
00:01:18Got some bomb scissors?
00:01:22Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:26That procedure will take hours. The patient will survive.
00:01:29Well, the coterie. Watch.
00:01:40He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:42It's bleeding. It's under control.
00:01:45But how does he...?
00:01:48Took suture.
00:01:50Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:02:02I've never seen anything like this.
00:02:04Almost done.
00:02:05Almost done.
00:02:14This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:16Jesus, Adrian. What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:02:28I thought you were just a working surgeon, but that...
00:02:32That was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed.
00:02:35Where did you learn the outfit like that?
00:02:37What you just did will go down in the history books.
00:02:39Wait.
00:02:40I heard President Bale personally recruited a medical prodigy
00:02:43who revolutionized surgical procedures in Mass General.
00:02:47Is that you?
00:02:55Final suture.
00:02:57Ms. Bale's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:03:04Doctor!
00:03:06The nurses...
00:03:08They said you did it.
00:03:10And you...
00:03:11You actually did.
00:03:15Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.
00:03:18Every surgeon on the west coast said it was inoperable,
00:03:20that she only had weeks to live, but...
00:03:23You...
00:03:25You saved my Catherine.
00:03:26You should make the full recovery, President Bale.
00:03:29Name your price, whatever it is.
00:03:30We need you at Bale.
00:03:32My hospital.
00:03:36I'll explain later.
00:03:37Right now we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.
00:03:41It's gonna take hours.
00:03:43I should go home, get some rest.
00:03:45I'll take over from here.
00:03:47Okay.
00:03:49Good work, everyone.
00:04:05Good work, buddy.
00:04:06Are you right here?
00:04:09Guys, alright.
00:04:11Good work, man.
00:04:15It's there.
00:04:18What...
00:04:20They're all stable.
00:04:22Every single one of them.
00:04:24Stabilized.
00:04:25First of all, one of them. Stabilized.
00:04:31Oh, sun's coming out.
00:04:34You must have operated all night.
00:04:36You're a machine.
00:04:37Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
00:04:40All right. It's time for some much-needed Jedi.
00:04:55Hey, you.
00:05:03Hey, yourself.
00:05:06I was operating all night.
00:05:08I was given every single patient in that pileup.
00:05:12It was extraordinary.
00:05:14How do you always know exactly what I needed?
00:05:18Because I know you.
00:05:20Better than anyone.
00:05:25Do you remember?
00:05:28You remember?
00:05:31First of all.
00:05:33You know, I've been thinking lately about us.
00:05:38I know it's only been a month, but...
00:05:41It just feels different.
00:05:51It's the first time this week.
00:05:52Possibly he's better when it's someone else's.
00:05:55Hmm.
00:05:57So who's this marketing guy?
00:05:59His surgical skills are unreal.
00:06:00Sure.
00:06:01I thought he was just another new hire.
00:06:03I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:06:06With a town like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department.
00:06:09What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?
00:06:19Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.
00:06:25Who is this guy?
00:06:26Preston Bale, Preston Bale's son, Harvard MBA.
00:06:31He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife, who just recovered from an experimental and creatico duo.
00:06:38I'm sorry.
00:06:40Am I looking at two board-certified surgeons or med school dropouts?
00:06:46Hard style based on your behavior.
00:06:48Sir, about that...
00:06:49Save it, Parker.
00:06:53You couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:06:56You're fired.
00:06:58They're at your office.
00:06:59New management means new standards.
00:07:02It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.
00:07:04Attention in everybody's attention now.
00:07:10If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs, every surgery must be perfect.
00:07:17No complications, no deaths.
00:07:20This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:07:24Does he think he has left her house?
00:07:28What is this?
00:07:30Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:07:32Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:07:37This is a hospital.
00:07:39We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
00:07:43That's from my residency direction.
00:07:45Oh, cry me a river.
00:07:47Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients, a little less time collecting gold stars, you'd be a real doctor.
00:07:54You're fired.
00:07:55Excuse me?
00:07:56Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop, just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.
00:08:01Yes, sir.
00:08:02Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snowplow?
00:08:06That was good.
00:08:07Let's go.
00:08:12Well, well, well.
00:08:14What do we have here?
00:08:16Sleeping after a shift?
00:08:19Rise and shine, superstar.
00:08:20Did I order a wake-up call?
00:08:27No, you didn't.
00:08:29But here's one anyway.
00:08:30You are fired.
00:08:32Are you serious?
00:08:36You're firing me?
00:08:37Do you need me to draw your diagram, doctor?
00:08:41Well, no.
00:08:42There must be some sort of mistake.
00:08:44Fiona, what's his position here?
00:08:46He's a new surgical resident, Mr. Bell.
00:08:52What's he make?
00:08:53$700,000.
00:08:55That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
00:08:57$700?
00:08:59Are you insane?
00:09:00You're giving resident money to a first-year who sleeps on the job?
00:09:03This hospital is being scammed.
00:09:06I just worked all night.
00:09:08I'm just taking a nap.
00:09:09Also, now you're expecting overtime pay.
00:09:12Seeing lazy doctors.
00:09:13This is criminal negligence.
00:09:16What were you thinking?
00:09:17Hiring this fraud.
00:09:18Are they as dumb as these hack surgeons, or this is some sort of insurance scam?
00:09:24Adrian and I might be sleeping together.
00:09:26But I can't let him drag me down.
00:09:28My career comes first.
00:09:30What?
00:09:30Why?
00:09:32There must be some clerical error.
00:09:34His credentials.
00:09:36Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:09:39Fiona.
00:09:40Dr. Marksman.
00:09:44You are F-I-R-E-D.
00:09:48Fire.
00:09:49Clear out your office.
00:09:51Clear out your locker.
00:09:53Get the hell out of my hospital.
00:09:56This is a mistake, okay?
00:09:57You need to check the surgical lock.
00:09:58You don't get the point back.
00:10:07I see.
00:10:10Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:10:12You don't understand.
00:10:14He's the one who...
00:10:14Didn't I fire you two already?
00:10:17Beat it.
00:10:18Vale is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:10:20Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:10:21I understand.
00:10:42Hospital politics.
00:10:44Look, I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.
00:10:48Meet me in the lobby after your shift.
00:10:50You might be waiting.
00:11:00You care to explain that little exchange?
00:11:07If a boy will make this, four attendings dismissed in one day, patient care will suffer.
00:11:13Fear is a weapon, Fiona.
00:11:14I intend to wield it.
00:11:17Or perhaps you're more concerned with one surgeon in particular?
00:11:21Your little scam artist situation ship?
00:11:24No, Preston.
00:11:25He means nothing to me.
00:11:27Really.
00:11:27I have no personal stake in your staffing decision.
00:11:30You should be clear about your future here.
00:11:33Do you want to be with the nobody collecting unemployment checks?
00:11:37Or the man who signs everyone's paychecks, including yours?
00:11:43The man who signs everyone's paychecks.
00:11:45Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded, who's on charge around here?
00:12:00Hey, Dad.
00:12:01What's wrong?
00:12:02Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.
00:12:04She'll be okay, but I need you to take full control of the hospital.
00:12:08And, Preston, there's something critical you need to know.
00:12:12Of course, what is it?
00:12:13That new surgeon, Dr. Marksman, whatever happens, make sure you take care of him.
00:12:19Dr. Marksman?
00:12:20Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired.
00:12:23Get out of my hospital.
00:12:25Christ.
00:12:26The resident I just fired?
00:12:29Preston, are you there?
00:12:32Check the staff roster.
00:12:34See if we have another Marksman working for us here.
00:12:38I had to back up the brakes truck to get him here.
00:12:42He's the surgeon who saved her mother's life, and he's pioneering our experimental surgery program.
00:12:48The hospital's reputation rests on his work.
00:12:57Ah, yes, I see now there's another surgeon attending with that name.
00:13:02Dr. Marksman, pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
00:13:05Two-time Florence Nightingale, another recipient for medical excellence.
00:13:10Three-times Apex award winner for clinical research.
00:13:12Is this what you mean, Dad?
00:13:13That's our man.
00:13:15There's another surgeon with the same last name who's been a disaster for us.
00:13:19Negligent, lazy, you name it.
00:13:21Do me a favor.
00:13:22Fire him.
00:13:24Already done, Dad.
00:13:25I fired the slackrass this morning.
00:13:28Thank God.
00:13:29I almost thought I fired our star surgeon.
00:13:32Good work, son.
00:13:34I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
00:13:37Just take care of Mom, all right?
00:13:40I got everything else under control.
00:13:48See?
00:13:49I told you that the slackrass that I fired was worthless.
00:13:51Now, about your career trajectory.
00:13:56Mr. Bale, sir.
00:13:58Can't you see I'm busy?
00:13:59Multiple traumas incoming.
00:14:01The six-car pileup.
00:14:02You fired Harper's surgery team.
00:14:03What's your point?
00:14:04ER is crashing.
00:14:06We have no one left who can handle it.
00:14:07Give me the situation.
00:14:15Now.
00:14:16Six critical traumas, three more incoming, multiple crush, injuries, arterial bleeds, sir.
00:14:22We're losing patients.
00:14:24What are our options?
00:14:26Maybe one solution.
00:14:27Well?
00:14:28Spit it out.
00:14:29It remarks me.
00:14:30He had four critical traumas alone last night.
00:14:33If we can get him back here.
00:14:35Marksman.
00:14:35Right.
00:14:36That's the man we need.
00:14:36Fiona, call him.
00:14:38Which Dr. Marksman, should I?
00:14:40The genius surgeon.
00:14:41The one I didn't fire.
00:14:42Keep up.
00:14:48What the hell?
00:14:50Where did all this stuff go?
00:14:51He left his research notes.
00:15:09Hmm.
00:15:10Modified trauma protocol.
00:15:13Wait.
00:15:15This is revolutionary procedures.
00:15:17Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:15:25Hello?
00:15:25Hello?
00:15:26Dr. Marksman?
00:15:27Multiple critical traumas in the ER.
00:15:30Custom details is if you can handle this crisis.
00:15:32It's a monster motion waiting.
00:15:33I'm on my way.
00:15:35I'm on my way.
00:15:39With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.
00:15:43It'll make me department head.
00:15:45And I can finally make seven figures.
00:15:53Well?
00:15:54Dr. Marksman's on his way.
00:15:55Thank God.
00:16:06Now, about your loyalty.
00:16:10Adrian meant nothing.
00:16:12I was using him to advance my career.
00:16:14You're my future.
00:16:15That's my girl.
00:16:25Beyond the shift in it an hour ago,
00:16:27the boss's son is up to something.
00:16:31To hell with this.
00:16:32I'm going up.
00:16:32I'm going up.
00:16:32Piece of shit.
00:16:52Get your hand on my girl.
00:16:56Oh, knock it off.
00:16:57Adrian, you need to tell me that the brilliant surgeon
00:17:00he can't see what's been happening under his own nose.
00:17:03You mean to tell me that you've been messing around
00:17:05with this incompetent nepo, baby?
00:17:07I can choose who I want.
00:17:08And I don't want to display a surgeon with no future.
00:17:11You pathetic loser.
00:17:28We're done, Adrian.
00:17:30Ancient history.
00:17:32Are you serious?
00:17:35Just like that.
00:17:36Sorry that this bummer
00:17:37put your jacket in.
00:17:41Why are you doing this, Fiona?
00:17:43Am I just a stepping stone to you?
00:17:45I need someone of the future.
00:17:47Not someone who sleeps
00:17:48while patients are dying.
00:17:54Keep it for when you get lonely and horny.
00:17:57It's the closest you'll ever come
00:17:58to the real thing again.
00:17:59Look at us, Adrian.
00:18:05I'm the future
00:18:06of Vail Hospital.
00:18:08And you?
00:18:11Just a slacker.
00:18:13And scrubs.
00:18:14You're washed out, marksman.
00:18:16Perhaps try nursing?
00:18:18I hear they're always hiring.
00:18:21Fiona, I met you here
00:18:22and it made me want to stay.
00:18:23I thought we could build a family together.
00:18:28Get over yourself.
00:18:29You think I'm going to stay with someone
00:18:31who lied about their credentials?
00:18:33President Vail would never have hired someone
00:18:36who sleeps during shifts.
00:18:38We're done.
00:18:41I'm not done.
00:18:43But when I am,
00:18:45there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.
00:18:48You can count on that.
00:18:50I don't know.
00:18:53Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.
00:18:55Your troubles are just getting started.
00:18:57Who authorizes you to be here?
00:19:04Mr. Vail,
00:19:05I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision,
00:19:07we've stabilized all the patients
00:19:09from the multi-car accident
00:19:10and the situation is completely under control.
00:19:13You're Dr. Marksman.
00:19:15Hi, it's the very same.
00:19:17My father mentioned your
00:19:19sexual credentials.
00:19:21Harvard Medical, mother?
00:19:23These morons have no idea
00:19:25I'm taking credit
00:19:26for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.
00:19:29As long as the boss's son is impressed,
00:19:31I'll be cheap with surgery by next month.
00:19:33Mr. Vail,
00:19:34I've identified who's responsible
00:19:36for all the issues in OR3 today.
00:19:39He was sleeping
00:19:40while a patient almost died on the table.
00:19:43Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
00:19:45Dr. Hart.
00:19:55Incredible news.
00:19:57Dr. Adrian Marksman,
00:19:58that surgical pioneer
00:19:59that you've been tracking,
00:20:01he's just been terminated
00:20:02from Vail Hospital.
00:20:04When?
00:20:05Less than an hour ago.
00:20:07Dismissed by President Vail's son.
00:20:10Huh?
00:20:11Amazing.
00:20:13I'd pay to see Nelson Vail.
00:20:15Vail's face when he discovers
00:20:16that his prized surgeon
00:20:18was fired by his submental son.
00:20:21With our respect,
00:20:22we're still establishing our reputation?
00:20:25Would someone of Marksman's caliber
00:20:27even consider joining us?
00:20:29I'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:20:32Full department autonomy,
00:20:34research funding,
00:20:36state-of-the-art facilities,
00:20:38and, if necessary,
00:20:40my personal involvement.
00:20:43His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.
00:20:48Have my car brought round.
00:20:50I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.
00:20:53An atrium worksman?
00:20:54He's leaving with me.
00:20:56What kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:21:05Don't insult our intelligence.
00:21:07A patient coded while you were off taking a nap.
00:21:10The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental.
00:21:12Yet you stand there denying it.
00:21:13This is crazy.
00:21:15You've all passed me off
00:21:16as some second-rate surgeon.
00:21:18And when a complication occurs,
00:21:19which happened in this hospital
00:21:21under your incompetent leadership,
00:21:24you blame me?
00:21:27The collective medical knowledge in this room
00:21:29isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.
00:21:32If you were even half the surgeon
00:21:34that you claimed to be,
00:21:35you would still have a job.
00:21:36I'm not going to stand here
00:21:39and debate medicine with you
00:21:40in front of Mr. Vail.
00:21:41Security, please detain him.
00:21:49What exactly are you accusing me of?
00:21:51Either confess to medical malfeasance
00:21:54or they'll escort you to the police
00:21:56for criminal negligence.
00:21:58Adrian, I never realized
00:22:00you were capable of endangering patients.
00:22:03What other medical atrocities have you committed?
00:22:05You better confess now
00:22:06or we'll do everything in power
00:22:08to make sure you lose your medical license.
00:22:11Come on.
00:22:13Go ahead.
00:22:14Do your worst.
00:22:16Let's see if a single piece of evidence
00:22:17holds up in front of the medical ward.
00:22:21You really underestimate
00:22:23my family's influence, don't you?
00:22:26Don't you realize that Mr. Vail here
00:22:28can end your entire career
00:22:29with one phone call?
00:22:30Sir, I strongly recommend
00:22:32that we make an example out of him.
00:22:34After all, he'll be a danger
00:22:35to his patients wherever he goes.
00:22:37Kristen, you can't let him walk away after this.
00:22:40Not after what he did to our patients.
00:22:44I'm contacting the medical board right now.
00:22:46As of this moment,
00:22:48Dr. Adrian Marksman
00:22:49is blacklisted from Vail Hospital
00:22:51and every medical institute in the country.
00:22:53Plan's in motion, Adrian.
00:22:55Do you know what that means?
00:22:57It means that you
00:22:58will never practice medicine
00:23:00in this country again.
00:23:03I have one question before I go.
00:23:06Did your father know you fired me?
00:23:09My father's the one
00:23:10who asked me to fire you,
00:23:11you dipshit.
00:23:14You thought you were
00:23:15some brilliant surgical god,
00:23:17didn't you?
00:23:19Security, remove this criminal
00:23:20from hospital property immediately.
00:23:22Immediately.
00:23:23Yes, sir.
00:23:24Right away, sir.
00:23:28That's quite enough.
00:23:29Let him go.
00:23:43Dr. Marksman
00:23:44is about to accept the position
00:23:46as chief of surgical innovation
00:23:48at Hart Medical Center.
00:23:52I know you.
00:23:54You're Vivian Hart,
00:23:55the surgical upstart
00:23:56from that medical clinic across town.
00:23:59That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you,
00:24:02Mr. Vail.
00:24:03Vivian,
00:24:04I haven't seen you
00:24:05since the John Hopkins Symposium,
00:24:06like four or five years ago.
00:24:08What are you doing here?
00:24:10I'm here for the most
00:24:11innovative surgeon
00:24:12in the country, of course.
00:24:14Wait.
00:24:15Are you seriously suggesting
00:24:17this negligent doctor's value?
00:24:20He was sleeping during rounds.
00:24:22Is this how Vail Hospital
00:24:23discards its exceptional talent?
00:24:26Your father built
00:24:27this institution's reputation,
00:24:29of medical excellence,
00:24:31not petty politics.
00:24:33Dr. Hart,
00:24:34with all due respect,
00:24:36this is a conversation
00:24:37between medical directors.
00:24:39Someone in your position
00:24:40should recognize
00:24:40when to maintain silence.
00:24:42Dr. Hart,
00:24:43let's inform you
00:24:44that Dr. Marksman
00:24:45represents a serious liability.
00:24:47He compromised
00:24:48patient safety and...
00:24:50I don't believe
00:24:51I requested
00:24:51your medical opinion,
00:24:52Dr....
00:24:53Marksman.
00:24:54David Marksman.
00:24:55I have neither time
00:24:56nor interest
00:24:57in your assessment.
00:25:00After he
00:25:01decided to go to sleep,
00:25:03we had a critical
00:25:04surgical complication.
00:25:06His negligence
00:25:07led to the problem.
00:25:08His actions
00:25:09not only endangered patients,
00:25:10it compromised
00:25:11my hospital's reputation.
00:25:14Are you really willing
00:25:15to defend someone
00:25:16who violates
00:25:17the Hippocratic Oath?
00:25:18Did you actually consult
00:25:20with your father
00:25:20before dismissing
00:25:21Dr. Marksman?
00:25:23Of course I consulted
00:25:25my father.
00:25:27He's the one
00:25:28who specifically mentioned
00:25:29his dangerous
00:25:30surgical shortcuts
00:25:31and inflated reputation.
00:25:33Dangerous shortcuts?
00:25:35Is that what
00:25:36President Vail really said?
00:25:37His exact words were,
00:25:39remove him
00:25:39at first opportunity.
00:25:41President Vail
00:25:42was the one
00:25:42that recruited me.
00:25:43This makes
00:25:43absolutely no sense.
00:25:44Please, Adrian.
00:25:46The president
00:25:46wouldn't personally
00:25:47recruit a mid-level
00:25:48surgeon like you.
00:25:50Those gala invitations
00:25:51were professional courtesy,
00:25:54not genuine respect.
00:25:56Well, if that's
00:25:56the way things work
00:25:57at Vail,
00:25:57I have nothing more
00:25:58to contribute
00:25:59to any of you.
00:26:01Dr. Marksman,
00:26:02would you consider
00:26:03joining Heart Medical Center
00:26:04as our chief of surgery?

00:27:13dr hart have you completely lost your medical judgment or are you on drugs
00:27:17this is absurd he was a mediocre surgeon here at vail
00:27:21and now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department

00:27:30vivian i appreciate your confidence

00:27:38maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you
00:27:44she's offering herself up to him

00:27:47are you a doctor or a call girl
00:27:50at our medical center you will be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves
00:27:55including a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value

00:28:03dr hart
00:28:07for the sake of your own reputation

00:32:45thank you
00:32:46yeah
00:32:46sorry who's this
00:32:49nelson vail speaking
00:32:54nelson vail
00:32:55vail
00:32:55dr. vivian hart here
00:32:57i'm calling to let you know that as of this morning
00:33:00hart medical center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena
00:33:04revolutionary surgical procedures are vail hospital's domain
00:33:09are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight
00:33:12this is merely a professional courtesy call
00:33:15not an invitation for debate
00:33:17now just
00:33:18what's that conniving bitch plotting
00:33:26she knows adrian
00:33:27is our surgical secret weapon
00:33:30why would she deliberately provoke a medical war
00:33:33she has absolutely no chance of quitting
00:33:35unless
00:33:38dad we've got multiple traumas coming in
00:33:47just tell me you didn't fire dr. marksman
00:33:49dad relax
00:33:51fire the other one
00:33:53that incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned
00:33:56can explain to me
00:33:57why hart medical center
00:33:59believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy
00:34:02because i
00:34:05astrophily led vivian hart into a false sense of reality
00:34:08some way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures
00:34:12i convinced vivian
00:34:14that she's acquired surgical brilliance
00:34:16when in reality
00:34:17she's hired our disgrace discarded loser
00:34:20so you deliberately manipulated vivian
00:34:23she thinks she's hired genius
00:34:26you had vail hospital's groundbreaking procedures
00:34:28that's why she had the audacity to declare war on you
00:34:31impressive son
00:34:32you're finally showing some of the leadership qualities
00:34:35i've been waiting to see out of you
00:34:37i think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division
00:34:42dad this is everything i've worked for thank you
00:34:47we get to work immediately we're going to expose heart medical center for the low-grade institution it truly is
00:34:56their humiliation will be quick and absolute
00:35:01i won't let you down
00:35:03darling surgical innovation is the future of veil
00:35:07preston only got his mba last year do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program
00:35:14i would never take a risk like this if preston was our only asset
00:35:19remember we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon
00:35:24you mean the surgeon that saved my life dr adrian marksman
00:35:29exactly and all i need to do is stay hands off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents
00:35:39as long as adrian is with veil hospital heart medical center has no chance of competing
00:35:46not only that vivian fell for preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster dr david marksman
00:35:55what we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble
00:36:02so now that you've seen the surgical department
00:36:12what do you pick
00:36:15it's not bad
00:36:16it's a small team but they're talented
00:36:18what you've built here
00:36:20it's impressive
00:36:22it's good to see you again after all these years adrian
00:36:27me too
00:36:29we need to expand
00:36:31it's too small for what i'm planning
00:36:34also
00:36:35i heard you weren't the only surgeon preston vale fired
00:36:40you have all the angles figured out don't you
00:36:47and i always find the best one
00:36:48i'm gonna start recruiting
00:36:58good
00:37:01the faster we rise
00:37:04the more rewarding this partnership comes
00:37:08this better be good
00:37:21mr bale
00:37:23you wanted to see me
00:37:25my father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department
00:37:34given your new position as chief of surgery
00:37:38appointing you head of innovation
00:37:39mr bale i uh
00:37:41is there an issue with that
00:37:43no absolutely not
00:37:45the budget for innovation is astronomical and president bale has already handed control to his son
00:37:51if i oversee these procedures i can divert significant resources to my personal research
00:37:58mr bale
00:37:59you can trust me completely
00:38:01i am precisely the right man for the job
00:38:06preston we have a catastrophe on our hands
00:38:08two attending surgeons just submit their resignation simultaneously
00:38:11the department can't possibly maintain its
00:38:13so now that you've seen the surgical department
00:38:20what do you think
00:38:23it's not bad
00:38:24dad
00:38:26relax
00:38:27this better be good
00:38:32mr bale
00:38:34bale
00:38:35you wanted to see me
00:38:37my father
00:38:41has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department
00:38:45given your new position as chief of surgery
00:38:48appointing you head of innovation
00:38:51mr bale i uh
00:38:53is there an issue with that
00:38:54others punk they were recruited by a former field physician
00:38:56along with the three other surgeons you've hired before
00:38:59former physician adrian marksman this has his saboteur signature all over it
00:39:04what's our contingency plan
00:39:06the surgical department is severely understaffed
00:39:08if any more surgeons leave patients will suffer
00:39:11hey everybody needs to remain calm
00:39:15you still have me
00:39:17i can rebuild this department
00:39:19ah yes
00:39:20with your stellar reputation we should be able to get the best of the best
00:39:23exactly
00:39:24so we lost some second-rate talent
00:39:27let him go
00:39:30i'll make some calls to cedars-sinai
00:39:33and ucla
00:39:36good work marksman
00:39:40this is working out perfectly
00:39:42now i can install my own allies in key positions
00:39:45soon i'll control the entire hospital's medical direction
00:39:48it's an hour to be achieved after heart
00:40:03this is dr parker here
00:40:18this is dr parker here
00:40:19he's a triple board certified surgeon
00:40:21and soon he'll be the head of trauma surgery
00:40:24this is dr rhodes jen rose and thomas
00:40:28all consummate professionals
00:40:31our most trusted colleagues back at bayern
00:40:33with this surgical team
00:40:37heart medical can revolutionize surgical care
00:40:40all across the country
00:40:42actually the whole world
00:40:44we're eager to begin with dr heart
00:40:47well welcome to heart medical center
00:40:50i am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us
00:40:54but i do need to be transparent
00:40:57we have got considerable ground to cover before we can truly challenge bale hospital's dominance
00:41:02have no fear dr heart
00:41:05with adrian leading our team
00:41:06we'll be three steps ahead of anything bale attempts
00:41:09yes but bale has already implemented adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols
00:41:15yeah about that
00:41:17it's a preliminary version
00:41:18if they continue to develop this approach without modification
00:41:21then what
00:41:22a lot of deaths
00:41:23a lot of lawsuits
00:41:25a lot of patients can be harmed
00:41:27or worse
00:41:28these procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement
00:41:33those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training
00:41:38without that foundation
00:41:39we're talking about serious complications
00:41:42preventable harm
00:41:43our first priority has to be patient safety
00:41:46we need to perfect these procedures
00:41:48and then we can find a way to prevent bale from continuing with the flock protocols
00:41:53exactly it's not about competition or pride
00:41:56it's about saving lives
00:42:00we're using our experience with the trial procedures i did at bale to develop next generation surgical techniques
00:42:07eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies
00:42:11even a veil hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new
00:42:17will maintain our significant advantage
00:42:20and if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols
00:42:24rest assured
00:42:25their outcomes will deteriorate
00:42:27i don't wish it upon their patients that's for sure
00:42:30remember this moment
00:42:32in this battle for medical supremacy
00:42:34heart medical center will emerge victorious
00:42:37it's 3am
00:42:44it's 3am
00:42:46i'll just check the time again
00:42:48yeah
00:42:50yeah
00:42:51yeah
00:42:52yeah
00:42:53yeah
00:42:54yeah
00:42:55yeah
00:42:56yeah
00:42:57yeah
00:42:58yeah
00:42:59yeah
00:43:00yeah
00:43:01yeah
00:43:03yeah
00:43:04I mean, yeah.
00:43:07What do you give all your surgeons?
00:43:09Missages.
00:43:10I mean, they're the ones I really, really like.
00:43:18You really, really like me?
00:43:20Adrienne, I've really, really liked you since residency.
00:43:24Nothing's changed.
00:43:26You were our most brilliant resident in the program.
00:43:30I never imagined someone like you would like me.
00:43:32There was never anyone else that got my attention.
00:43:35I'll meet you.
00:43:38But you were completely oblivious.
00:43:41And then you just vanished from the program.
00:43:44Well, I left to join the Experimental Surgical Fellowship in Switzerland.
00:43:49I know.
00:43:51Your town was extraordinary even then.
00:43:55Back then, I made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday.
00:44:00You know, when I established Heart Medical Center,
00:44:02my first priority was recruiting you.
00:44:06But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Bale,
00:44:10had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives.
00:44:14I understand now.
00:44:24So, should we pick up where we left off in residency?
00:44:29You're the boss.
00:44:31That's right.
00:44:31And as your boss, I say, come home with me.
00:44:37Tonight?
00:44:38You lost everything on Preston Fire 2.
00:44:40Hospital privileges, research funding,
00:44:45even your hospital subsidized apartment.
00:44:50You have literally nowhere else to come tonight.
00:44:54Come with me.
00:44:55Where?
00:44:59My place.
00:45:04Hmm.
00:45:08All right.
00:45:09I'll admit it.
00:45:11That was the best meal I've had in months.
00:45:13Careful, Dr. Marksman.
00:45:15I might start thinking you're easy to please.
00:45:18That just depends on the company.
00:45:20Well, starting tonight,
00:45:23this is your new home.
00:45:25And to all the programs fully established,
00:45:27it just makes sense.
00:45:29Are you sure about that?
00:45:30You already work late hours.
00:45:33Living together
00:45:34could get complicated.
00:45:37Well, I like complicated.
00:45:39It keeps things interesting.
00:45:42And
00:45:42where exactly will I be sleeping?
00:45:45Well,
00:45:46my master suite
00:45:50has a
00:45:52California king.
00:45:56Honey of Rome.
00:45:59The things that I need to get
00:46:00more
00:46:01collaborative.
00:46:04Really?
00:46:06Relax.
00:46:07I'm only teasing.
00:46:10Tonight, at least.
00:46:12Come on.
00:46:15I'll show you your room.
00:46:19Unless you'd rather have a night cow
00:46:20than mine.
00:46:28Things could be dangerous.
00:46:35Is this pathetic attempt
00:46:36really the best that you can do?
00:46:42You are completely
00:46:43worthless as surgeons.
00:46:44Dr. Marksman.
00:46:46The experimental procedures
00:46:48we're trying to replicate
00:46:48are extraordinarily intricate.
00:46:51We need at least
00:46:51six months
00:46:52to properly mask out.
00:46:54Six months?
00:46:55You have 72 hours.
00:46:57And I expect hourly updates
00:46:59on my desk.
00:47:00Sir,
00:47:00rushing these
00:47:01delicate procedures
00:47:02dramatically increases
00:47:04the possibility
00:47:05of potentially fatal
00:47:06complication.
00:47:07Three days.
00:47:08Then you don't get
00:47:08one hour more.
00:47:10Go.
00:47:11Go.
00:47:11Go.
00:47:11Go.
00:47:11Go.
00:47:11Go.
00:47:13Report, Dr. Marksman.
00:47:17What's our status?
00:47:18Excellent progress,
00:47:19Mr. Bale.
00:47:20We will be advancing
00:47:21to phase two implementation
00:47:23within three days.
00:47:24That's exactly
00:47:25what I wanted to hear.
00:47:27I knew my judgment
00:47:27appointing you
00:47:28was flawless.
00:47:28President,
00:47:34I need an update
00:47:35on the experimental
00:47:36surgery program.
00:47:38Everything's proceeding
00:47:39perfectly, Father.
00:47:40Outstanding.
00:47:41And this is done?
00:47:42I'll throw you
00:47:43a huge party
00:47:44to celebrate the launch.
00:47:46Your father must be
00:47:47so proud of you.
00:47:48Keep up the good work,
00:47:49Dr. Marksman.
00:47:50I'll make sure my father
00:47:51understands
00:47:52your invaluable contribution.
00:47:55This is my shot.
00:47:55Why settle
00:47:56for chief of surgery
00:47:57and with the right maneuvering
00:47:58I can become
00:47:59the next chief medical officer
00:48:00of Bale Hospital?
00:48:02Mr. Bale,
00:48:03my purpose
00:48:04is to execute
00:48:05the visionary
00:48:06medical strategies
00:48:07of brilliant
00:48:09administrators
00:48:10such as yourself.
00:48:11I believe
00:48:12that in the position
00:48:13of chief medical officer
00:48:14I can implement
00:48:15your ideas
00:48:16more effectively
00:48:17throughout the entire hospital.
00:48:19These procedures
00:48:20prove successful?
00:48:21We'll personally
00:48:21discuss your advancement
00:48:22on the board.
00:48:23Truly,
00:48:24that's...
00:48:26I am profoundly
00:48:27grateful, sir.
00:48:47You're finally awake.
00:48:54You can keep appreciating
00:48:55with you while you eat.
00:48:57All right.
00:48:58A little breakfast.
00:48:59Looks good.
00:49:04When you're finished eating,
00:49:05we'll head directly
00:49:06to the surgical wing.
00:49:07Sound good?
00:49:08Yes.
00:49:09Absolutely.
00:49:11Good.
00:49:12Get it off and running,
00:49:14and there may be
00:49:14a special bonus
00:49:17waiting for you.
00:49:21Extra special.
00:49:22Okay, team.
00:49:31We're approaching
00:49:32a critical phase
00:49:33of our program development.
00:49:34We have groundbreaking
00:49:35procedures
00:49:36that we need to perfect
00:49:37in very little time,
00:49:38so let's get to it.
00:49:40Start revolutionizing medicine.
00:49:42I have excellent news
00:49:44for all of you.
00:49:45I've just finalized
00:49:46arrangements with the board,
00:49:47and upon successful
00:49:49implementation
00:49:49of our surgical innovations,
00:49:52each of you will receive
00:49:53a fully funded
00:49:54medical mission trip
00:49:55anywhere in the world
00:49:56that you choose
00:49:57to share your expertise.
00:49:59And when the time comes
00:50:01that our procedures
00:50:02receive national certification,
00:50:05every surgeon on this team
00:50:06will be gifted
00:50:07a percentage of the royalties
00:50:09from any techniques we patent.
00:50:10At Heart Medical Center,
00:50:15our surgeons
00:50:15are the lifeblood
00:50:17of our institution,
00:50:18and you will be
00:50:19compensated accordingly.
00:50:21Dr. Heart,
00:50:25we are fully committed
00:50:26to making the surgical
00:50:27program a success.
00:50:28Absolutely.
00:50:29You'll be seeing progress
00:50:30ASAP.
00:50:32Vail Hospital
00:50:32won't know what hit him.
00:50:34With Adrian leading us,
00:50:35the victory is guaranteed.
00:50:36Heart is best!
00:50:37Heart is best!
00:50:39Heart is best!
00:50:40Heart is best!
00:50:41Heart is best!
00:51:11Are you always this disciplined?
00:51:16Or are you just trying
00:51:17to impress me?
00:51:19I was trying to impress you
00:51:20even though.
00:51:22Midnight meetings,
00:51:24long hours,
00:51:27this work ethic of yours,
00:51:30a little dangerous.
00:51:34That's what Belle used to say
00:51:36about me.
00:51:38Then they fired me.
00:51:41And they were fools.
00:51:45You've earned
00:51:46more than just respect
00:51:47to your Adrian.
00:51:49You know that, right?
00:51:55You trying to motivate me again?
00:51:57I don't try.
00:52:01I do.
00:52:11I don't know.
00:52:12I don't know.
