00:00:00The patient's crashing! We need an attending surgeon now!
00:00:06The patient won't survive.
00:00:07Watch.
00:00:08Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level one trauma like this!
00:00:12This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:00:14What you just did will go down an extra boss.
00:00:17Who is this guy?
00:00:18He's taking over as hospital administrator.
00:00:20New management, new standards.
00:00:22Sleeping after a shift?
00:00:23You are fired!
00:00:25I just worked all night.
00:00:26Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon!
00:00:28He's the one!
00:00:28Didn't I fire you two already?
00:00:32Get your hand off my gun!
00:00:34We're done, Adrian.
00:00:36I need someone with a future.
00:00:38Dr. Marksman, would you consider joining Hart Medical Center as our chief of surgery?
00:00:42This isn't about money.
00:00:44Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you?
00:00:48These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:00:51With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.
00:00:53Please!
00:00:54Dad!
00:00:55Are you just standing there?
00:00:56Do something!
00:00:57If you need help, just ask.
00:00:58All you have to do is admit what you did.
00:01:00A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured
00:01:11patients flooding into Vail Hospital's emergency department.
00:01:14The fate of these accident victims now rests in the hands of Vail's surgical team, their
00:01:19last hope for survival in the face of devastating trauma.
00:01:23Facials crashing!
00:01:24We need an attending surgeon now!
00:01:26All the hours are full.
00:01:27We got three more criticals incoming!
00:01:30Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding.
00:01:32I can't leave this one.
00:01:33Where's Dr. Stevens?
00:01:34We need another attending surgeon.
00:01:36Everyone else is in the U.R.
00:01:37Here is what's next!
00:01:42I need a hand!
00:01:46I need a hand.
00:01:56A new hire.
00:01:58You just started this month.
00:01:59Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level one trauma like this.
00:02:03Patient's pressure is dropping.
00:02:05Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman.
00:02:07Patient's yours.
00:02:08Okay, we are going to perform a modified whipple.
00:02:17Whipple?
00:02:18For trauma?
00:02:19That's insane.
00:02:21Trust me.
00:02:22Metz and bomb scissors.
00:02:25Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:02:29That procedure will take hours.
00:02:32The patient won't survive.
00:02:33Bovey Cottery.
00:02:37Watch.
00:02:37Watch.
00:02:38He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:02:46The bleeding.
00:02:47It's under control.
00:02:49But how did he...
00:02:51Silk Sutra?
00:02:57Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:03:05I've never seen anything like this.
00:03:07I'm almost done.
00:03:18This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:03:19Jesus, Adrian.
00:03:29What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:03:32I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but that...
00:03:34That was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed.
00:03:38Where did you learn to operate like that?
00:03:40What you just did will go down in the history books.
00:03:43Wait.
00:03:44I heard President Vail personally recruited a medical prodigy who revolutionized surgical procedures
00:03:49at Mass General.
00:03:50Is that you?
00:03:51Is that you?
00:03:59Final suture.
00:04:00Miss Vail's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:04:04Doctor.
00:04:05The nurses, they said you did it, and you, you actually did.
00:04:16Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.
00:04:21Every surgeon on the West Coast said it was inoperable, that she only had weeks to live,
00:04:25but you, you saved my Catherine.
00:04:30She'll make a full recovery, President Vail.
00:04:32Name your price, whatever it is.
00:04:34We need you at Vail, my hospital.
00:04:36Look, I'll explain later.
00:04:40Right now, we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.
00:04:44It's going to take hours.
00:04:45Y'all should go home.
00:04:46Get some rest.
00:04:47I'll take over from here.
00:04:51Okay.
00:04:52Good work, everyone.
00:05:14They're all stable.
00:05:27Every single one of them, stabilized.
00:05:33Yeah.
00:05:34Oh, sun's coming up.
00:05:37We must have operated all night.
00:05:39You're a machine.
00:05:40Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
00:05:43All right.
00:05:44It's time for some much-needed shut-eye.
00:05:50Hey, you.
00:06:04Hey yourself.
00:06:07Been operating all night.
00:06:10He saved every single patient in that pileup.
00:06:14All you did was extraordinary.
00:06:17How do you always know exactly what I needed?
00:06:20Because I know you.
00:06:23Better than anyone.
00:06:25The whole day, you gave me?
00:06:28You remembered.
00:06:29First hit it.
00:06:30You know, I've been thinking lately about us.
00:06:32You remembered.
00:06:34Appreciate it.
00:06:36You know, I've been thinking lately about us.
00:06:41I know it's only been a month, but it just feels different.
00:06:53It's the third time this week.
00:06:56Hospital food's better than someone else's.
00:06:58Hmm.
00:07:00So who's this marksman guy?
00:07:01His surgical skills are unreal.
00:07:03Sure, I thought he was just another new hire.
00:07:05I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:07:09With talent like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department right now.
00:07:19What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?
00:07:22Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.
00:07:28Who is this guy?
00:07:29Preston Vale, Preston Vale's son, Harvard MBA.
00:07:34He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife,
00:07:37who just recovered from an experimental pancreatico duodenectomy.
00:07:42I'm sorry.
00:07:43Am I looking at two board-certified surgeons or med school dropouts?
00:07:48Hard to tell based on your behavior.
00:07:51Sir, about last...
00:07:52Save it!
00:07:52Parker, you couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:07:59You're fired.
00:08:00Clear out your office.
00:08:02New management means new standards.
00:08:05It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.
00:08:10Attention!
00:08:11Everybody's attention now!
00:08:13If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs, every surgery must be perfect.
00:08:20No complications, no deaths.
00:08:22This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:08:27Who's he thinking is?
00:08:28Dr. House?
00:08:29What is this?
00:08:32Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:08:35Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:08:39This is a hospital.
00:08:42We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
00:08:45That was from my residency director.
00:08:47Oh, cry me a river!
00:08:50Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients,
00:08:52and a little less time collecting gold stars, you'd be a real doctor.
00:08:56You're fired.
00:08:57Excuse me?
00:08:58Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop,
00:09:01just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.
00:09:03Yes, sir.
00:09:05Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?
00:09:08That was good.
00:09:10Let's go.
00:09:15Well, well, well.
00:09:16What do we have here?
00:09:19Sleeping after a shift?
00:09:21Rise and shine, superstar!
00:09:23Superstar!
00:09:27Did I order a wake-up call?
00:09:30No, you didn't.
00:09:31But here's one anyway.
00:09:33You are fired!
00:09:37Are you serious?
00:09:39You're firing me?
00:09:41Do you need me to draw you a diagram, doctor?
00:09:44Well, no.
00:09:44But there must be some sort of mistake.
00:09:47Fiona, what's his position here?
00:09:48He's a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.
00:09:54What's he make?
00:09:56$700,000.
00:09:58That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
00:10:00$700?
00:10:01Are you insane?
00:10:03You're giving resident money to a first-year who sleeps on the job?
00:10:06This hospital is being scammed!
00:10:08I just worked all night, okay?
00:10:10I'm just taking a nap.
00:10:11Oh, so now you're expecting overtime pay?
00:10:15Seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.
00:10:18What were you thinking, hiring this fraud?
00:10:21Either you're as dumb as these hack surgeons, or this is some sort of insurance scam!
00:10:26Adrian and I might be sleeping together, but I can't let him drag me down.
00:10:31My career comes first.
00:10:33Boy, bye.
00:10:33There must be some clerical error.
00:10:37His credentials.
00:10:39Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:10:42Fiona.
00:10:44Dr. Marksman.
00:10:47You are F-I-R-E-D fired.
00:10:52Clear out your office.
00:10:54Clear out your locker.
00:10:55And get the hell out of my hospital.
00:10:58This is a mistake, okay?
00:11:00You need to check the surgical lock.
00:11:01You don't get where that work.
00:11:03I see.
00:11:12Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:11:15You don't understand.
00:11:16He's the one who-
00:11:17Didn't I fire you two already?
00:11:19Beat it!
00:11:21Vale is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:11:23Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:11:33I understand.
00:11:45Hospital politics.
00:11:47Look, I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.
00:11:51Meet me in the lobby after your shift.
00:11:53I'll be waiting.
00:11:54You care to explain that little exchange?
00:12:04The board won't like this.
00:12:12Four attendings dismissed in one day.
00:12:14Patient care will suffer.
00:12:16Fear is a weapon, Fiona.
00:12:18I intend to wield it.
00:12:20Or perhaps you're more concerned with one surgeon in particular?
00:12:24Your little scam artist situation ship?
00:12:27No, Preston.
00:12:28He means nothing to me.
00:12:29Really.
00:12:31I have no personal stake in your staffing decision-
00:12:32Let's be clear about your future here.
00:12:36Do you want to be with the nobody collecting unemployment checks?
00:12:40Or the man who signs everyone's paychecks, including yours?
00:12:45The man who signs everyone's paychecks.
00:12:48Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded, who's in charge around here?
00:13:03Hey, Dad.
00:13:04What's wrong?
00:13:05Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.
00:13:07She'll be okay, but I need you to take full control of the hospital.
00:13:12And, Preston, there's something critical you need to know.
00:13:15Of course.
00:13:15What is it?
00:13:15That new surgeon, Dr. Marksman?
00:13:19Whatever happens, make sure you take care of him.
00:13:22Dr. Marksman?
00:13:23Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired.
00:13:26Get out of my hospital.
00:13:28Christ.
00:13:29The resident I just fired?
00:13:32Preston?
00:13:33Are you there?
00:13:35Check the staff roster.
00:13:36Um, see if we have another marksman working for us here.
00:13:41I had to back up the brakes truck to get him here.
00:13:44He's a surgeon who saved your mother's life.
00:13:47And he's pioneering our experimental surgery program.
00:13:51The hospital's reputation rests on his work.
00:13:54Ah, yes, I see now.
00:14:01There's another surgeon attending with that name.
00:14:05Dr. Marksman, pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
00:14:09Two-time Florence Nightingale, medal recipient for medical excellence.
00:14:13Three-times Apex award winner for clinical research.
00:14:15Is this who you mean, Dad?
00:14:16That's our man.
00:14:18There's another surgeon with the same last name who's been a disaster for us.
00:14:21Negligent, lazy, you name it.
00:14:24Do me a favor.
00:14:25Fire him.
00:14:27Already done, Dad.
00:14:28I fired his slacker ass this morning.
00:14:31Thank God.
00:14:32Almost thought I fired our star surgeon.
00:14:35Good work, son.
00:14:37I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
00:14:40Just, uh, just take care of Mom, all right?
00:14:42I got everything else under control.
00:14:51See?
00:14:52Told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless.
00:14:55Now, about your career trajectory.
00:14:59Mr. Bale, sir.
00:15:01Can't you see I'm busy?
00:15:02Multiple traumas incoming.
00:15:04The six-car pileup.
00:15:05You fired half our surgery team.
00:15:06What's your point?
00:15:07The ER is crashing.
00:15:09We've no one left who can handle it.
00:15:10Give me the situation.
00:15:18Now.
00:15:19Six critical traumas.
00:15:21Three more incoming.
00:15:22Multiple crush injuries.
00:15:24Arterial bleeds, sir.
00:15:25We're losing patients.
00:15:27What are our options?
00:15:29There might be one solution.
00:15:30Well, spit it out.
00:15:32Dr. Marksman.
00:15:33He handled four critical traumas alone last night.
00:15:36If we can get him back here.
00:15:38Marksman.
00:15:38Right.
00:15:38That's the man we need.
00:15:39Fiona, call him.
00:15:41Which Dr. Marksman should I?
00:15:43The genius surgeon.
00:15:44The one I didn't fire.
00:15:45Keep up.
00:15:51What the hell?
00:15:53Where'd all this stuff go?
00:15:54The idiot left us research notes.
00:16:12Hmm.
00:16:13Modified trauma protocol.
00:16:16Wait.
00:16:18These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:16:20Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:16:28Hello?
00:16:29Dr. Marksman?
00:16:30Multiple critical traumas in the ER.
00:16:32Preston Vale says if you can handle this crisis, there's a monster promotion waiting.
00:16:37I'm on my way.
00:16:38With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.
00:16:45They'll make me department head.
00:16:48And I can finally make seven figures.
00:16:56Well?
00:16:57Dr. Marksman's on his way.
00:16:59Thank God.
00:16:59Okay.
00:16:59Okay.
00:16:59Okay.
00:16:59Okay.

00:17:07Okay.
00:17:08Okay.
00:17:08Now, about your loyalty.
00:17:13Adrian meant nothing.
00:17:15I was using him to advance my career and my future.
00:17:18That's my girl.
00:17:28Beyond a shift in it an hour ago, the boss's son is up to something.
00:17:33To hell with this.

00:25:16wait
00:25:18are you seriously suggesting this negligent doctor has value
00:25:21he was sleeping during rounds
00:25:24is this how veil hospital discards its exceptional talent
00:25:27your father built this institution's reputation
00:25:31of medical excellence
00:25:33not petty politics
00:25:35dr hart
00:25:37with all due respect
00:25:39this is a conversation between medical directors
00:25:41someone in your position should recognize when to maintain silence
00:25:44dr hart
00:25:46i must inform you that dr marksman represents a serious liability
00:25:50he compromised patient safety
00:25:52and
00:25:53i don't believe i requested your medical opinion
00:25:55dr
00:25:56marksman
00:25:56david marksman
00:25:58i have neither time nor interest
00:26:00in your assessment
00:26:01after he
00:26:04decided to go to sleep

00:26:10his actions not only endangered patients
00:26:13it compromised my hospital's reputation
00:26:15are you really willing to defend someone
00:26:19who violates the hippocratic oath
00:26:21did you actually consult with your father
00:26:23before dismissing dr marksman
00:26:25of course i consulted my father
00:26:28he's the one who specifically mentioned his
00:26:32dangerous surgical shortcuts
00:26:33and inflated reputation
00:26:35dangerous shortcuts
00:26:37is that what president veil really said
00:26:40his exact words were
00:26:41remove him at first opportunity
00:26:43president veil was the one that recruited me
00:26:46this makes absolutely no sense
00:26:47please adrian
00:26:48the president wouldn't personally recruit
00:26:51a mid-level surgeon like you
00:26:52those gala invitations

00:26:56not
00:26:57genuine respect

00:33:49yeah
00:33:49oh
00:33:50sorry
00:33:51who's this
00:33:52nelson vale speaking
00:33:57president vale
00:33:58dr vivian hart here
00:34:00i am calling to let you know that as of this morning
00:34:03hart medical center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena
00:34:07revolutionary surgical procedures are vale hospital's domain
00:34:12are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight
00:34:15this is merely a professional courtesy call
00:34:18not an invitation for debate
00:34:20now just
00:34:22what is that conniving bitch plotting
00:34:29she knows adrian
00:34:31is our surgical secret weapon
00:34:33why would she deliberately provoke a medical war
00:34:36she has absolutely no chance of winning
00:34:38unless
00:34:41dad we've got multiple traumas coming in
00:34:50just tell me you didn't fire dr marksman
00:34:53dad relax
00:34:54i fired the other one
00:34:56that incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned
00:34:59then explain to me why hart medical center believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy
00:35:06because i masterfully led vivian hart into a false sense of reality
00:35:12that way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures
00:35:16i convinced vivian that she's acquired surgical brilliance when in reality
00:35:21she's hired our disgrace discarded loser
00:35:24so you deliberately manipulated vivian
00:35:26she thinks
00:35:27she thinks she's hired genius behind vale hospital's groundbreaking procedures
00:35:32that's why she had the audacity to declare war on you
00:35:34impressive son
00:35:35impressive son
00:35:36you're finally showing some of the leadership qualities
00:35:38uh... i've been waiting to see out of you
00:35:40i think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division
00:35:47dad this this is everything i've worked for thank you
00:35:51we'll get to work immediately
00:35:52we're going to expose heart medical center for the low-grade institution it truly is
00:36:00their humiliation will be quick and absolute
00:36:03i won't let you down
00:36:05darling
00:36:07surgical innovation is the future of vale
00:36:11preston only got his mba last year
00:36:13do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program
00:36:17i would never take a risk like this if preston was our only asset
00:36:22remember
00:36:23we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon
00:36:27you mean the surgeon that saved my life
00:36:29dr adrian marksman
00:36:31exactly
00:36:33and all i need to do
00:36:35is stay hands off
00:36:37and let him
00:36:39exercise his extraordinary talents
00:36:42as long as adrian is with vale hospital
00:36:45heart medical center has no chance of competing
00:36:49not only that vivian
00:36:51fell for preston's manipulation
00:36:53and hired that medical disaster
00:36:55dr david marksman
00:36:58all we have to do now
00:37:00is sit back
00:37:02and watch her would be empire
00:37:06crumble
00:37:12so now that you've seen the surgical department
00:37:16what do you think
00:37:18it's not bad
00:37:20it's a small team but they're talented
00:37:22what you've built here
00:37:24it's impressive viv
00:37:26it's good to see you again after all these years adrian
00:37:30you too
00:37:32we need to expand
00:37:34it's too small for what i'm planning
00:37:36also
00:37:38i heard you weren't the only surgeon preston vale fired
00:37:42we have all the angles figured out don't you
00:37:50and i always find the best one
00:38:00i'm gonna start recruiting
00:38:02good
00:38:04the faster we rise
00:38:06the more rewarding
00:38:08this partnership becomes
00:38:10this better be good
00:38:24mr vale
00:38:26you wanted to see me
00:38:28my father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department
00:38:38given your new position as chief of surgery
00:38:40i'm appointing you head of innovation
00:38:42mr vale i uh
00:38:44is there an issue with that
00:38:46no absolutely not
00:38:48the budget for innovation is astronomical
00:38:50and president vale has already handed control to his son
00:38:54if i oversee these procedures i could divert significant resources to my personal research
00:39:00mr vale
00:39:02you can trust me completely
00:39:04i am precisely the right man for the job
00:39:08preston
00:39:10we have a catastrophe on our hands
00:39:12two attending surgeons just submitted their resignations simultaneously
00:39:14the department can't possibly maintain its caseload
00:39:16what
00:39:18they both resigned at once what was their explanation
00:39:20they refused to disclose their reasons
00:39:22they were recruited by a former vale physician
00:39:24along with the three other surgeons you fired before
00:39:26former physician adrian marksman
00:39:28this has his saboteur signature
00:39:30all over it
00:39:32what's our contingency plan
00:39:34the surgical department is severely understaffed
00:39:36if any more surgeons leave
00:39:38patients will suffer
00:39:40hey everybody needs to remain calm
00:39:42you still have me
00:39:44i can rebuild this department
00:39:46ah yes
00:39:48with your stellar reputation
00:39:50be able to get the best of the best
00:39:52exactly
00:39:54so we lost some second-rate talent
00:39:56let him go
00:39:58i'll make some calls to cedar sinai
00:40:00and ucla
00:40:02good work marksman
00:40:08this is working out perfectly
00:40:10now i can install my own allies in key positions
00:40:12soon i'll control the entire hospital's medical direction
00:40:16it's an honor to meet you dr hart
00:40:26it's an honor to meet you dr hart
00:40:40this is dr parker here
00:40:42he's a triple board certified surgeon
00:40:44and soon he'll be the head of trauma surgery
00:40:46says dr rose chen
00:40:48rose and thomas
00:40:50all consummate professionals
00:40:52my most trusted colleagues back at bayern
00:40:54with this surgical team
00:40:56heart medical can revolutionize surgical care
00:40:58all across the country
00:41:00actually the whole world
00:41:02we're eager to begin dr hart
00:41:04well
00:41:06welcome john
00:41:08welcome to heart medical center
00:41:18i am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us
00:41:20but
00:41:22i do need to be transparent
00:41:24we have got considerable ground to cover
00:41:26before we can truly challenge vail hospital's dominance
00:41:30have no fear dr hart
00:41:32with adrian leading our team
00:41:34we'll be three steps ahead of anything vail attempts
00:41:36yes but
00:41:38vail has already implemented adrian's
00:41:40breakthrough surgical procedure protocols
00:41:42yeah about that
00:41:44it's a preliminary version
00:41:46if they continue to develop this approach
00:41:48without modification
00:41:49then what
00:41:50a lot of deaths
00:41:52a lot of lawsuits
00:41:54patients could be harmed
00:41:55or worse
00:41:56these procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation
00:41:58without proper refinement
00:42:00those techniques require precise calibration
00:42:03and specialized training
00:42:05without that foundation
00:42:06we're talking about serious complications
00:42:09preventable harm
00:42:10our first priority has to be patient safety
00:42:13we need to perfect these procedures
00:42:15and then we can find a way to prevent vail
00:42:17from continuing with the flawed protocols
00:42:20exactly
00:42:21it's not about competition or pride
00:42:23it's about saving lives
00:42:28we're using our experience with the
00:42:30to develop next generation surgical techniques
00:42:33eliminating all the previous complications
00:42:36and inefficiencies
00:42:38even if vail hospital analyzes our fundamental approach
00:42:41and attempts to create something new
00:42:43we'll maintain our significant advantage
00:42:46and if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols
00:42:50rest assured
00:42:51their outcomes will deteriorate
00:42:53i don't wish it upon their patients
00:42:55that's for sure
00:42:56remember this moment
00:42:58in this battle for medical supremacy
00:43:00heart medical center will emerge victorious
00:43:03it's 3 a.m.
00:43:11lost track of time again
00:43:13they have you surprised me
00:43:20looks like you could use a nice rub
00:43:25do you mind
00:43:27no
00:43:28i mean

00:43:57there was never anyone else that got my attention
00:43:59only you
00:44:01only you
00:44:04but you were completely oblivious
00:44:06and then you just
00:44:08vanished from the program
00:44:10well i left to join the experimental surgical fellowship in switzerland
00:44:14i know
00:44:17your talent was extraordinary even then
00:44:20back then i made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday
00:44:25you know when i established heart medical center
00:44:28my first priority was recruiting you
00:44:31but that
00:44:32manipulative tyrant
00:44:34nelson vale
00:44:35had already secured your contracts
00:44:38with ridiculous incentives
00:44:40i understand now
00:44:49so

00:47:04you are completely worthless as surgeons
00:47:10dr marksman
00:47:11the experimental procedures we're trying to replicate here are extraordinarily intricate
00:47:16we need at least six months to properly master
00:47:19six months
00:47:21you have 72 hours
00:47:23and i expect hourly updates on my desk
00:47:25sir
00:47:26brushing these delicate procedures
00:47:28dramatically increases the possibility of potentially fatal complications
00:47:32three days

00:51:23You always this disciplined?
00:51:41Or are you just trying to impress me?
00:51:46If I was trying to impress you, you even know.
00:51:49Midnight meetings.
00:51:52Long hours.
00:51:54This work ethic of yours, it's a little dangerous.
00:52:01That's what Val used to say about me.
00:52:04Then they fired me.
00:52:08Then they were fools.
00:52:12You've earned more than just respect here, Adrian.
00:52:16You know that, right?
00:52:17Are you trying to motivate me again?
00:52:24I don't try.
00:52:28I do.
00:52:29Well, don't work too late.
00:52:38You're no good to me, burnt out.
00:52:39The incompetence is staggering.
00:52:52Yeah, you too are in way over your heads.
00:52:55Do you really think that this is acceptable?
00:53:00I give you one simple task, and you screw it up.
00:53:03How the hell did either of you even finish residency?
00:53:07Vail General Hospital is the gold standard, and you two are just standing around like clueless
00:53:13little interns.
00:53:14If these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow, you're both gone.
00:53:18Is that clear?
00:53:20Yes, sir.
00:53:21This is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team?
00:53:24Go.
00:53:33Oh, Mr. Vail, what a surprise.
00:53:36Cut the bullshit, Marksman.
00:53:39We're on schedule or not?
00:53:41Of course.
00:53:42We're just refining the final stages.
00:53:46Yeah, everything is under control.
00:53:48Good.
00:53:50There's a problem.
00:53:50I expect to hear it from you.
00:53:52No cover-ups.
00:53:53Of course, sir.
00:53:54Mr. Vail.
00:53:57Not now.
00:53:58Go get me the latest performance reports.
00:54:03It, uh, looks like Preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here.
00:54:10Don't worry.
00:54:11When Preston makes me chief medical officer, I'm gonna need someone flexible in my corner.
00:54:18I respect the winning team, Dr. Marksman.
00:54:24Today, Vail Hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next-generation surgical program.
00:54:33This cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry,
00:54:39especially as Heart Medical's competing program was released on the same day.
00:54:44The question now is, who will define the future of surgery?
00:54:49Relax, Mr. Vail.
00:54:51Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance.
00:54:54I hope you're right.
00:54:56For your sake.
00:54:57Didn't you say that, uh, if the rollout went well, that you'd make me chief medical officer?
00:55:06It's not a success.
00:55:08Yet.
00:55:10Enjoy tonight's launch party.
00:55:13Because if our results don't outshine Heart Medical, it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long time.
00:55:27Dr. Heart, we, um, have a problem.
00:55:33Vail Hospital's new surgical program launches today.
00:55:37That soon?
00:55:38They're hosting a big celebration party tonight.
00:55:43It's a good thing we're ahead of them.
00:55:46You're saying we're ready?
00:55:48Why would I lie?
00:55:50We've been tracking Vail's every move.
00:55:52Let him celebrate.
00:55:54It's just gonna backfire.
00:55:55How exactly does that work in our favor?
00:55:59Viv, do you remember what I told you when you first brought me here?
00:56:04Preston Vail's rushing this.
00:56:05He's desperate to beat us to the market.
00:56:07And?
00:56:08Their model's flawed.
00:56:10If they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure and their approach,
00:56:14we won't have to lift a damn finger.
00:56:17And what about when it falls apart?
00:56:19Then Heart Medical takes over as the future of modern surgery.
00:56:22So you're saying that Vail Hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that
00:56:28you designed?
00:56:29It's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast.
00:56:32They're using an early draft full of mistakes that I won't make again.
00:56:37They don't even realize the cracks in their foundation.
00:56:40That actually makes perfect sense.
00:56:43Which means we've already won.
00:56:46Well, this is a big day for us.
00:56:49We should celebrate.
00:56:50What do you have in mind?
00:56:51Drinks?
00:56:52Not quite.
00:56:53You and I are crashing the Vail launch party tonight.
00:56:57What?
00:56:58Why?
00:56:59Let me worry about that.
00:57:01In the meantime, ensure a smooth rollout, finish whatever procedures you need to,
00:57:05and meet me in the lobby at 8 p.m. sharp.
00:57:16Preston, we've been through so much together.
00:57:26I know where I'm headed in life, and I know who I want by my side.
00:57:31Tonight, at this launch party, celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program,
00:57:37isn't it the perfect moment to ask,
00:57:40will you marry me?
00:57:41You should be fun.
00:57:50Absolutely.
00:57:52You really know how to take care of your staff, Mr. Vail?
00:57:55Stop it.
00:57:56Too bad you're taken.
00:57:57Yeah, yeah, what a shame.
00:57:59Where the fuck is Fiona?
00:58:01Told her meet me out here so we can go to this party together.
00:58:04Forget about her.
00:58:05She's just social climbing trash anyways.
00:58:08We'll show you a better time.
00:58:09Hmm.
00:58:12Now that's an offer I can't refuse.
00:58:14Let's go.
00:58:14Fiona who?
00:58:18Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:58:21Let me get to her.
00:58:21The number you have dialed is unavailable.
00:58:45Please try again later.
00:58:46It's 20 in one day.
00:59:12All clean, all stable.
00:59:15The experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.
00:59:18You did it.
00:59:20No.
00:59:21We did it.
00:59:25Dr. Marksman, you have to get to Bail's launch party.
00:59:28Pronto.
00:59:28You're already late.
00:59:29I need to change that.
00:59:30You don't have time.
00:59:32Where's Vivian?
00:59:34Taking care of something.
00:59:36She said it's really important that you be there,
00:59:38and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:59:41Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Bail Hospital's revolutionary surgical program.
00:59:45What the fuck?
01:00:02You're my date, and you're wasted.
01:00:04I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.
01:00:07Yeah.
01:00:07God knows why I chose you, but I did.
01:00:10So, if you want to keep your job and your status sober up, for God's sakes.
01:00:33Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?
01:00:35It's giving orderly sheep.
01:00:40Maybe he's here to bust tables.
01:00:44What are you doing at our launch party?
01:00:46You weren't invited.
01:00:47You so sure about that?
01:00:48I mean, look at you.
01:00:49This is a black tie?
01:00:51I mean, not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is.
01:00:56Look who crawled in from the gutter.
01:00:59The found surgeon.
01:01:00The fraud.
01:01:02The nobody.
01:01:04Showed to my party in dirty scrubs, Marksman?
01:01:06I thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the lowlives.
01:01:10Guess I need to fire them, too.
01:01:12Pardon me.
01:01:12I just came straight from surgery.
01:01:14Because some of us here are real surgeons.
01:01:17What are you trying to say?
01:01:19I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody, isn't me.
01:01:25I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.
01:01:32I've got some nerve talking to my man Marksman like that.
01:01:35A genius like him leading our surgical team?
01:01:38You won't be able to get anywhere near our next party.
01:01:40Yeah, because it'll happen in prison.
01:01:42When you're all arrested for medical malpractice, criminal negligence, and identity theft.
01:01:49What are you talking, Bill?
01:01:52Identity theft?
01:01:54Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?
01:01:56Yours?
01:01:58Let me give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.
01:02:00If you don't got it, at least act like you do.
01:02:04Speaking from experience.
01:02:07Look around you.
01:02:09This is the elite among the elite.
01:02:11The best of the best in the medical field.
01:02:14Just because you waltz in here and you're dirty, cheap scrubs, doesn't make you one of us.
01:02:18Good.
01:02:19I'm glad, because you're all beneath me.
01:02:22Isn't that right, Dr. Marksman?
01:02:25That's enough.
01:02:26Guards, this former employee's threatening us.
01:02:30Kick him out.
01:02:32Touch me and you'll regret it.
01:02:36I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:02:39What are you dumbasses doing?
01:02:41Grab him.
01:02:49What the hell is this?
01:03:00Dad.
01:03:01Relax.
01:03:02I, uh...
01:03:02Relax?
01:03:03This twat came in uninvited.
01:03:06I was just kicking him out.
01:03:07Guards!
01:03:08Remove him immediately.
01:03:09President Vail, it truly is an honor to finally meet you.
01:03:11You get out of my way!
01:03:14Dad, what are you doing?
01:03:15This is, this is, this is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...
01:03:19You are such a fool!
01:03:23Dad, what are you, what are you doing?
01:03:25Open your eyes, Preston.
01:03:27This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...
01:03:31You are a...
01:03:33Disgraced!
01:03:36Dad!
01:03:36My hospital meant something and...
01:03:39You turned it into a...
01:03:42Into a...
01:03:42Oh!
01:03:44Dad!
01:03:50Dad!
01:03:52President Vail, fuck away from my dad!
01:03:55Are you out of your mind?
01:03:57He is the best surgeon in this room.
01:03:58Oh yeah, like you give a shit about saving my dad.
01:04:01I'll die before I trust you two.
01:04:03Somebody get me a real doctor!
01:04:04David!
01:04:05David!
01:04:06It's cold!
01:04:07It's cold!
01:04:12Can't think of what to do next?
01:04:14Blanking?
01:04:15Can't think of a diagnosis?
01:04:17Shut up!
01:04:18Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?
01:04:20This is ridiculous.
01:04:22I thought this David guy was a genius.
01:04:25Why are you just standing there?
01:04:26Do something!
01:04:28What's the matter, David?
01:04:30If you need help, just ask.
01:04:32All you have to do is admit what you did.
01:04:35Right here.
01:04:35Right now.
01:04:36I can't blow my cover butt.
01:04:40What if I kill him?
01:04:42I don't know anything about surgeries.
01:04:44I don't even know what's wrong with them.
01:04:46I did medical school on Zoom.
01:04:48David.
01:04:49David, this is a matter of life and death.
01:04:53Let it go.
01:04:55I...
01:04:56I...
01:04:56I...
01:04:57I can't.
01:05:00I can't do this.
01:05:03Okay, I can't.
01:05:05I can't do this.
01:05:06I can't do this without my notebook.
01:05:10That's my surgical notebook.
01:05:14He stole it from me.
01:05:23Okay.
01:05:24Okay.
01:05:25I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.
01:05:28I can't do this.
01:05:29I can't do this.
01:05:30I can't do this.
01:05:31Okay.
01:05:32Okay.
01:05:33I got it.
01:05:34I got it.
01:05:35Take it.
01:05:36Take it.
01:05:37Okay.
01:05:38All right.
01:05:39Hold his head.
01:05:40Good.
01:05:41Tilt it back.
01:05:42And apply pressure here.
01:05:43Okay.
01:05:56Okay.
01:05:57Wait.
01:05:58Hold it.
01:05:59Hold it.
01:06:00Hold it.
01:06:04Oh, thank God.
01:06:05How are you doing?
01:06:06What happened?
01:06:07Oh.
01:06:08All right.
01:06:11Oh.
01:06:12Oh.
01:06:13That's my guy.
01:06:14Surgical genius.
01:06:15Oh.
01:06:16That's how Val makes history.
01:06:18Somebody get this man a medal.
01:06:20Or at least a new department.
01:06:22If you still want that chief medical officer position, say the word.
01:06:26Now, do I have to have somebody escort you out?
01:06:31That maneuver.
01:06:33That notebook.
01:06:34It's mine.
01:06:35Then tell them.
01:06:40Where is he going?
01:06:41Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program at another fake hospital.
01:06:46Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?
01:06:49Say, hey, why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life?
01:06:56That procedure David used, I invented it.
01:06:59What kind of crack are you smoking?
01:07:02He's delusional.
01:07:04Somebody seriously check this guy's medical license.
01:07:07The notebook he used to save your father.
01:07:10That's mine.
01:07:12My handwriting.
01:07:13My theories.
01:07:15You're just pissed because he did what you couldn't.
01:07:18I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories as innovation.
01:07:23And when it fails.
01:07:25And it will.
01:07:27You're not the ones that'll pay for it.
01:07:30The patients will.
01:07:31You can't prove that.
01:07:33Not yet.
01:07:35But you can't fake medicine.
01:07:36Medicine and science always tell the truth.
01:07:44Our three vitals just dropped.
01:07:45We've got uncontrolled bleeding.
01:07:47Second patient today.
01:07:48Same issue.
01:07:49Vessel ligation failed mid-operation.
01:07:52These techniques aren't viable.
01:07:53The veil method doesn't hold under stress.
01:07:57I mean, come on.
01:07:58Tonight proves it.
01:07:59We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country.
01:08:01I'll be right back.
01:08:11Just coordinating with the team.
01:08:15Talk to me.
01:08:17The vascular fundoclant maneuver failed again.
01:08:19This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.
01:08:24Use the compression step.
01:08:26That only works in controlled scenarios.
01:08:28We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.
01:08:32Look, just follow the notes.
01:08:37I designed those techniques for 101 guidance.
01:08:40Not mass implementation.
01:08:42Without calibration.
01:08:44It's unstable.
01:08:46It's dangerous.
01:08:47They tried to commercialize your success without you.
01:08:50Now people are paying for it.
01:08:53All good?
01:08:55Of course.
01:08:56Just routine coordination.
01:08:58Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.
01:09:02Your surgical program is failing.
01:09:04And patients are suffering.
01:09:06You've been out of the field for months.
01:09:07You wouldn't know?
01:09:09Yeah, I would know.
01:09:10Because the procedures that you're butchering, I invented.
01:09:13And I'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing.
01:09:16And your surgical wing.
01:09:18Bullshit.
01:09:24Oh yes, this is Dr. Marksman.
01:09:27Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:09:30Okay, listen very carefully.
01:09:33Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.
01:09:42No, 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.
01:09:55Yes.
01:09:58Yes.
01:10:01How do we even know he made a phone call?
01:10:04This whole thing is performance, a charade.
01:10:07You stole his methods.
01:10:09This entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork.
01:10:14Uh, that's a lie.
01:10:15Then prove me wrong.
01:10:17Show them all a technique that I didn't create.
01:10:19Why would we believe anything he says?
01:10:25He was fired, humiliated.
01:10:27You're right, I was fired.
01:10:29And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary.
01:10:34You know what? This is pathetic.
01:10:36He's just jealous.
01:10:37He missed his shot.
01:10:39Is that what you told yourself?
01:10:41When you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal?
01:10:44Even if that were true, this isn't the time or the place.
01:10:49I think it's exactly the time and place.
01:10:51I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator.
01:11:06And thanks to Adrian's guidance, our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients.
01:11:13Adrian just cleaned up your mess.
01:11:16You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready and you fired him.
01:11:21The one person who could make them safe.
01:11:25Dad?
01:11:26You don't see the full picture here.
01:11:28Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.
01:11:31This hospital was built on trust and integrity.
01:11:34And you've disgraced them both.
01:11:37Your father nearly died because of your ego.
01:11:41Because of his lies.
01:11:44You saved me.
01:11:46You saved Nelson.
01:11:47And now you can save Vale.
01:11:49Tried to warn you all.
01:11:52No one listened.
01:11:53Well, they're listening now.
01:11:55You deserve to be at Vale more than either of those two.
01:12:00And probably even more than me.
01:12:03It was a mistake to let you go.
01:12:04Months ago I was fired from Vale Hospital with procedures still in development.
01:12:11They weren't ready.
01:12:13They needed supervision.
01:12:15Precision.
01:12:17Development.
01:12:18They said someone took my notes and tried to fast track them for glory.
01:12:21Oh.
01:12:22You can't prove that.
01:12:24Security footage.
01:12:29Of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital.
01:12:33Already submitted to the board.
01:12:34I built on what he started.
01:12:38Okay?
01:12:39I didn't steal.
01:12:41I enhanced it.
01:12:43Then why were patients about to die?
01:12:45You falsified rollout readiness?
01:12:48He did more than that.
01:12:50He put lives at risk.
01:12:52To prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program.
01:12:56We're going to need to open a formal investigation on this.
01:12:59This is absurd.
01:13:01This was supposed to be our night.
01:13:03Oh, it's your night.
01:13:05It's just not the way you thought it'd be.
01:13:08You lied to me.
01:13:10I didn't lie.
01:13:11I simplified the truth.
01:13:13Simplify?
01:13:15You could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people.
01:13:19You nearly killed the president of the hospital.
01:13:22You passed up experimental procedures as launch ready.
01:13:25That's malpractice.
01:13:26They worked.
01:13:28Nelson's alive.
01:13:29Look, the patients, they're alive.
01:13:31Yeah, because of me.
01:13:33Those methods require sequential tensioning.
01:13:35Breath control.
01:13:37Special clamp techniques.
01:13:38Getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death.
01:13:41Wait, these really are your techniques.
01:13:43I tested them for years.
01:13:45It was never meant for mass rollout.
01:13:48Not without training.
01:13:50You're rewriting history?
01:13:52No, you tried to erase him from it.
01:13:53Adrian Marksman was the reason that Vale's program had a future.
01:13:58And without him, it won't.
01:14:01This is absurd!
01:14:03You're siding with this disgraced former resident?
01:14:06He's not disgraced, son.
01:14:08You are.
01:14:10You hijacked a program you didn't understand.
01:14:12And then when your ego wasn't enough, you propped up this fraud.
01:14:19Taking his side, dad?
01:14:22I'm your son.
01:14:24I'm taking the side of truth.
01:14:26And so will the board.
01:14:28We will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning.
01:14:31Until then, both of you are suspended from all surgical and administrative duties.
01:14:35Suspended?
01:14:37No, no, no, you can't do that.
01:14:38You don't understand the politics of running a hospital.
01:14:41We understand the liability.
01:14:42That's enough.
01:14:45Mr. Preston Vale.
01:14:47Dr. David Marksman.
01:14:49Come with us.
01:14:51Dad.
01:14:52You're not going to let him drag me out like this.
01:14:53I'm your son.
01:14:54No.
01:14:55Don't you touch me.
01:14:56You're not a child.
01:14:57Hey.
01:14:58Dad.
01:14:59I didn't decide to build that.
01:15:00They're just getting squashed out of the-
01:15:01Dad.
01:15:02Do something.
01:15:03Get off me.
01:15:04My sister Arnold.
01:15:05You're not a child.
01:15:06You're not my responsibility.
01:15:14Adrian, please.
01:15:16I made a mistake.
01:15:17I see that now.
01:15:18I should have believed in you.
01:15:20I should have stood by you.
01:15:22You were right about everything.
01:15:27Just give me a second chance.
01:15:30Please.
01:15:31I still love you.
01:15:34Love?
01:15:35You traded him the second someone flashier walked by.
01:15:39You don't understand.
01:15:41I thought he was finished.
01:15:43I thought he had nothing left.
01:15:45So you sold him out.
01:15:47Mocked him.
01:15:48Over and over again.
01:15:50I was scared.
01:15:52I didn't know what to do.
01:15:54Oh, you knew.
01:15:55You just didn't care.
01:15:57Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser.
01:16:01Please.
01:16:03Say something.
01:16:05Anything.
01:16:07You had your chance, Fiona.
01:16:09And you spent it holding Preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive.
01:16:12You always belonged in my operating room.
01:16:24And I should have fought harder to keep you if I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes.
01:16:29The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board and David will never go near another patient again.
01:16:39We're rebuilding.
01:16:41And I want you back as Vale's chief of experimental surgery.
01:16:46I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.
01:16:48I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.
01:16:50You had your chance too.
01:16:52I'm not the same man that you fired.
01:16:55Well, all the more reason we need you back at Vale.
01:16:59Adrian 2.0.
01:17:00I'm not coming back.
01:17:04You're choosing her?
01:17:06Our rival?
01:17:08You arrogant little ingrate.
01:17:10I open the door for you and you slam it in my face.
01:17:14Just typical.
01:17:16Just when you had your moment, you turned your back on it for, for what, her?
01:17:22She's just gonna use you up and toss you aside like everyone else.
01:17:26Oh, rejecting much, Nelson.
01:17:29Get me out of here.
01:17:31Now!
01:17:36Hello!
01:17:37Karma has good timing.
01:17:53Speaking of timing, we should get back to work.
01:17:56We have lives to save.
01:17:58Hey!
01:18:00Not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.
01:18:03I still owe you that extra special bonus.
01:18:09Now?
01:18:10Well, there's no time like the present.
01:18:20This is what victory tastes like.
01:18:23It's not bad.
01:18:25I need a second opinion.
01:18:28Well, I've got all night.
01:18:29And you're not leaving this room until I've properly celebrated.
01:18:34My genius surgeon.
01:18:36Should I be afraid of a performance review?
01:18:38You're already exceeding expectations.
01:18:41But I am very thorough.
01:18:50Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.
01:18:54Besides meeting you, of course.
01:18:56Hans Beating you, of course.
