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.
00:00:19Facials crashing! We need an attending surgeon now!
00:00:22All the hours are full. We got three more criticals incoming.
00:00:26Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding.
00:00:28Well, I can't leave this one. Where's Dr. Stevens?
00:00:30We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the U.R.
00:00:50Need a hand?
00:00:51A new hire. You just started this month.
00:00:55Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level 1 trauma like this?
00:00:59Patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:01Then prove yourself, Dr. Marksman. Patient's yours.
00:01:10Okay, we are going to perform a modified whipple.
00:01:13Whipple? For trauma? That's insane.
00:01:16Trust me.
00:01:17That's insane.
00:01:18Mets and bomb scissors.
00:01:21Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:25That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive.
00:01:29Bovey cautery.
00:01:33Watch.
00:01:33He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:42The bleeding. It's under control.
00:01:44But how did he...
00:01:46Silk suture.
00:01:53Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:01:57I've never seen anything like this.
00:02:04Almost done.
00:02:13This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:15Jesus, Adrian.
00:02:25What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:02:28I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but...
00:02:30That...
00:02:31That was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed.
00:02:34Where did you learn to operate like that?
00:02:36What you just did will go down in the history books.
00:02:39Wait.
00:02:40I heard President Bale personally recruited a medical prodigy
00:02:43who revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.
00:02:47Is that you?
00:02:54Final suture.
00:02:56Miss Bale's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:03:03Doctor.
00:03:05The nurses.
00:03:07They said you did it.
00:03:09And you...
00:03:10You actually did.
00:03:13Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.
00:03:17Every surgeon on the West Coast said it was inoperable,
00:03:20that she only had weeks to live, but...
00:03:22You...
00:03:23You saved my Catherine.
00:03:26She'll make a full recovery, President Bale.
00:03:28Name your price, whatever it is.
00:03:30We need you at Bale.
00:03:31My hospital.
00:03:35Look, I'll explain later.
00:03:36Right now we have three critical patients
00:03:38that need specialized procedures.
00:03:40It's going to take hours.
00:03:41Y'all should go home.
00:03:43Get some rest.
00:03:44I'll take over from here.
00:03:46Okay.

00:19:29mr veil i've identified who's responsible for all the issues in or three today
00:19:35he was sleeping while a patient almost died on the table
00:19:39clear-cut medical malfeasance
00:19:41dr hart
00:19:51incredible news

00:19:54that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking
00:19:56he's just been terminated from veil hospital
00:19:59when
00:20:00less than an hour ago
00:20:02dismissed by president veil's son
00:20:04huh amazing i'd pay to see nelson veil's face when he discovers that his price surgeon
00:20:15was fired by his submental son
00:20:17with uh respect we're still establishing our reputation
00:20:21would someone of marksman's caliber even consider joining us
00:20:25we'll offer him whatever it takes
00:20:27full department autonomy
00:20:30research funding
00:20:32state-of-the-art facilities
00:20:34and if necessary

00:20:45i'm going to veil hospital personally
00:20:47and adrian marksman
00:20:49he's leaving with me
00:20:51he's leaving with me
00:20:58alphesians
00:20:59what kind of delusional accusation is that
00:21:02now don't insult our intelligence
00:21:03a patient coded while you were off taking a nap
00:21:06the timing couldn't possibly be coincidental
00:21:08yet you stand there denying it
00:21:10this is crazy
00:21:11you've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon
00:21:14and when a complication occurs
00:21:15which happened in this hospital
00:21:17under your incompetent leadership
00:21:19you blame me
00:21:23the collective medical knowledge in this room
00:21:25isn't enough to fill a prescription pad
00:21:27if you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be
00:21:31you would still have a job
00:21:33i'm not going to stand here and debate medicine with you in front of mr veil

00:24:05well i'm here for the most innovative surgeon in the country of course
00:24:10wait
00:24:11are you seriously suggesting this negligent doctor has value
00:24:14he was sleeping during rounds
00:24:15is this how veil hospital discards its exceptional talent
00:24:17your father built this institution's reputation of medical excellence not petty politics
00:24:27not petty politics
00:24:30dr hart
00:24:31with all due respect
00:24:32this is a conversation between medical directors
00:24:34someone in your position should recognize when to maintain silence
00:24:37dr hart
00:24:39dr hart
00:24:40i must inform you that dr marksman represents a serious liability
00:24:44he compromised the patient's safety and
00:24:46i don't believe i requested your medical opinion doctor
00:24:49marksman
00:24:50david marksman
00:24:51i have neither time nor interest in your assessment
00:24:56after he decided to go to sleep we had a critical surgical complication
00:25:01his negligence led to the problem
00:25:04his actions not only endangered patients it compromised my hospital's reputation
00:25:10are you really willing to defend someone who violates the hippocratic oath
00:25:14did you actually consult with your father before dismissing dr marksman
00:25:19of course i consulted my father
00:25:22he's the one who specifically mentioned his dangerous surgical shortcuts
00:25:26and inflated reputation
00:25:28dangerous shortcuts
00:25:30is that what president vale really said
00:25:33his exact words were remove him at first opportunity
00:25:37president vale was the one that recruited me this makes absolutely no sense
00:25:41please adrian the president wouldn't personally recruit a mid-level surgeon like you
00:25:46those gala invitations were professional courtesy
00:25:50not genuine respect
00:25:52well if that's the way things work at vale i have nothing more to contribute
00:25:55to any of you
00:25:56dr marksman would you consider joining heart medical center as our chief of surgery
00:26:04well i've full department autonomy

00:27:09dr hart
00:27:11have you completely lost your medical judgment or are you on drugs
00:27:14this is absurd
00:27:16he was a mediocre surgeon here at vale
00:27:18and now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department
00:27:22medical board should review your hiring practices
00:27:26and practices
00:27:29vivian
00:27:31i appreciate your confidence
00:27:34this isn't about money
00:27:36maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you
00:27:41she's offering herself up to him
00:27:43she can't do that
00:27:45are you a doctor or a call girl
00:27:47at heart medical center
00:27:48you will be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves
00:27:52including
00:27:54a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value
00:27:57and i do mean anything dr marksman
00:28:02dr hart
00:28:04for the sake of your own reputation
00:28:06you need to know that this hack
00:28:08you're so eagerly pursuing has a documented history of negligence
00:28:12my father confirmed it himself
00:28:14is that precisely what nelson bale told you
00:28:17his exact words
00:28:18negligence search
00:28:21what are those
00:28:23personal gifts from your father
00:28:27my fellowship offer
00:28:31my personal research lab
00:28:34my surgical team
00:28:36i'm leaving it all behind
00:28:38you can tell president veil that as of this moment dr marksman has permanently withdrawn
00:28:44from veil hospital
00:28:46and all of its affiliated institutions
00:28:48you know what spare us the theatrics adrian
00:28:51you never deserve those privileges in the first place
00:28:54the medical board is going to see that justice is done
00:28:57oh your stupidity it's just astonishing
00:29:01you treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels
00:29:06this man is a life saving artist
00:29:09dr hart
00:29:11i understand there's some competition between your center and veil hospital
00:29:15yeah look i'll be real
00:29:17we're struggling to get out from under their shadow
00:29:18i'd be happy to help you out with that
00:29:19take me on and i'll transform heart into the number one surgical institution in the country
00:29:32look at yourself adrian offering your skills to a struggling clinic
00:29:36how pathetically desperate
00:29:39oh
00:29:41a backstabbing bottom feeder like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his caliber
00:29:46how dare you talk to me like that
00:29:48your malpractice has caused catastrophic damage to my hospital's reputation
00:29:55as the responsible party i demand that you issue a formal apology to one of the major medical journals
00:30:00and with an explanation to every affected veil hospital patient
00:30:06refuse me and i will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently
00:30:12that accusation isn't just baseness
00:30:14it's absurd
00:30:16what exactly do you think you're gonna do about it
00:30:18you got no choice but to sign this confession
00:30:20oh stop threatening my chief surgeon
00:30:23if you insist on pursuing this vendetta
00:30:26have your attorney send a formal complaint to heart medical center
00:30:29we'll consider it nothing less than a declaration of total war
00:30:34if it's war you want
00:30:36i will obliterate your dime store clinic with everything that i've got
00:30:41let's go

00:31:42shit i'm screwed adrian's surgical journal with all his proprietary techniques is still in my office
00:31:48if preston finds out i stole it and then couldn't even use it properly
00:31:52i implemented a groundbreaking surgical protocol that i invented myself
00:31:58these techniques are revolutionary
00:32:00revolutionary i'll walk you through it in detail after the emergency
00:32:04it's impressive dr marksman
00:32:06you've obviously got your own methodology
00:32:08no need to bore me with the specifics i trust your brilliance
00:32:12keep up the good work dr marksman

00:32:22i'm deeply honored
00:32:28behold
00:32:30vale hospital's new chief of surgery
00:32:32let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now
00:32:36glad you're feeling better honey
00:32:41thank you
00:32:42oh
00:32:44sorry who's this
00:32:48nelson vale speaking
00:32:50president vale
00:32:52dr vivian hart here
00:32:54i am calling to let you know that as of this morning
00:32:57hart medical center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena
00:33:00revolutionary surgical procedures are veil hospitals domain
00:33:05are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight
00:33:08this is merely a professional courtesy call
00:33:11not an invitation for debate
00:33:13now just
00:33:19what is that conniving bitch plotting
00:33:22she knows adrian is our surgical secret weapon
00:33:25why would she deliberately provoke a medical war she has absolutely no chance of winning
00:33:33unless
00:33:41dad we've got multiple traumas coming in
00:33:43just tell me you didn't fire dr marksman
00:33:45dad relax
00:33:47i fired the other one
00:33:49that incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned
00:33:51then explain to me why heart medical center believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy
00:33:58because i
00:34:01masterfully led vivian hart into a false sense of reality
00:34:04it's not way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures
00:34:08i convinced vivian that she's acquired surgical brilliance
00:34:12but in reality she's hired our disgrace discarded loser
00:34:16so you deliberately manipulated vivian
00:34:19she thinks she's hired genius
00:34:22behind veil hospitals ground breaking procedures
00:34:25that's why she had the audacity to declare war on you
00:34:27impressive son
00:34:29you're finally showing some of the leadership qualities
00:34:31i've been waiting to see out of you
00:34:33i think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division
00:34:38dad this this is everything i've worked for thank you
00:34:44we'll get to work immediately
00:34:46we're going to expose heart medical center
00:34:49for the low-grade institution it truly is
00:34:53their humiliation will be quick and absolute
00:34:56i won't let you down
00:34:58darling
00:35:00surgical innovation is the future of veil
00:35:03preston only got his mba last year
00:35:06do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program
00:35:10i would never take a risk like this if preston was our only asset
00:35:15remember
00:35:17we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon
00:35:20you mean the surgeon that saved my life
00:35:23doctor adrian marksman
00:35:24exactly
00:35:26and all i need to do
00:35:28is stay hands off
00:35:30and let him exercise his extraordinary talents
00:35:35as long as adrian is with veil hospital
00:35:38heart medical center has no chance of competing
00:35:42not only that vivian fell for preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster
00:35:49doctor david marksman
00:35:50what we have to do now
00:35:53is sit back
00:35:55and watch her would be empire
00:35:58crumble
00:36:04so now that you've seen the surgical department
00:36:08what do you think
00:36:11it's not bad
00:36:13it's a small team but they're talented
00:36:15what you've built here
00:36:17it's impressive viv
00:36:18it's good to see you again after all these years adrian
00:36:23you too
00:36:25we need to expand
00:36:27it's too small for what i'm planning
00:36:30so
00:36:32i heard you weren't the only surgeon preston vale fired
00:36:36we have all the angles figured out don't you
00:36:42and i always find the best one
00:36:43i always find the best one
00:36:53i'm gonna start recruiting
00:36:55good
00:36:57the faster we rise
00:36:59the more rewarding this partnership becomes
00:37:02this
00:37:16this better be good
00:37:18mr vale
00:37:20you wanted to see me
00:37:21my father
00:37:25my father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department
00:37:30given your new position as chief of surgery
00:37:33i'm appointing you head of innovation
00:37:35mr vale i uh
00:37:37is there an issue with that
00:37:39no absolutely not
00:37:41the budget for innovation is astronomical
00:37:44and president vale has already handed control to his son
00:37:47if i oversee these procedures i could divert significant resources to my personal research
00:37:53mr vale you can trust me completely i am precisely the right man for the job
00:37:59Preston we have a catastrophe on our hands two attending surgeons just submitted their resignation simultaneously the department can't possibly maintain its caseload
00:38:09what they both resigned at once what was their explanation
00:38:12they refused to disclose their reasons
00:38:14but there's talk they were recruited by a former real physician
00:38:16along with the three other surgeons you fired before
00:38:19former physician adrian marksman this has his saboteur signature all over it
00:38:23president what is our contingency plan the surgical department is severely understaffed
00:38:28if any more surgeons leave patients will suffer
00:38:31hey everybody needs to remain calm
00:38:34you still have me
00:38:37i can rebuild this department
00:38:39ah yes
00:38:41with your stellar reputation we should be able to get the best of the best
00:38:44exactly
00:38:46so we lost some second-rate talent
00:38:48let him go
00:38:50i'll make some calls to cedar sinai
00:38:53and ucla
00:38:56good work marksman
00:39:00this is working out perfectly

00:39:05soon i'll control the entire hospital's medical direction
00:39:23it's an honor to meet you dr hart
00:39:33this is dr parker here he's a triple board certified search and soon he'll be the head of trauma surgery
00:39:37this is dr rose chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen chen ch
00:40:07Welcome to Hart Medical Center. I am thrilled to have surgeons of your
00:40:13caliber joining us, but I do need to be transparent. We have got considerable
00:40:19ground to cover before we can truly challenge Vail Hospital's dominance.
00:40:22Have no fear, Dr. Hart. With Adrian leading our team, we'll be three steps
00:40:27ahead of anything Vail attempts. Yes, but Vail has already implemented Adrian's
00:40:32breakthrough surgical procedure protocols. Yeah, about that. It's a
00:40:37preliminary version. If they continue to develop this approach without
00:40:41modification... Then what? A lot of deaths, a lot of lawsuits, a lot of patients could
00:40:47be harmed. Or worse, these procedures weren't ready for widespread
00:40:50implementation without proper refinement. Those techniques require precise
00:40:55calibration and specialized training. Without that foundation... We're talking
00:41:00about serious complications, preventable harm. Our first priority has to be
00:41:05patient safety. We need to perfect these procedures, and then we can find a way to
00:41:10prevent Vail from continuing with the flawed protocols. Exactly. It's not about
00:41:14competition or pride. It's about saving lives. We're using our experience with the
00:41:22trial procedures I did at Vail to develop next-generation surgical techniques
00:41:27eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies. Even if Vail Hospital
00:41:33analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new, we'll
00:41:37maintain our significant advantage. And if they stubbornly continue with their
00:41:42flawed protocols, rest assured, their outcomes will deteriorate. I don't wish it
00:41:48upon their patients, that's for sure. Remember this moment. In this battle for
00:41:53medical supremacy, Heart Medical Center will emerge victorious.
00:41:57It's 3 a.m. Lost track of time again.
00:42:08Viv, you surprised me.
00:42:14Looks like you could use a nice rub. Do you mind?
00:42:20No. I mean, yeah. Will you give all your surgeons massages?
00:42:29Only the ones I really, really like.
00:42:33You really, really liked me?
00:42:39Adrienne, I've really, really liked you since residency. Nothing's changed.
00:42:45You were our most brilliant resident in the program. I never imagined someone like you would like me.
00:42:50There was never anyone else that got my attention.
00:42:54Only you. But you were completely oblivious. And then you just vanished from the program.
00:43:03Well, I left to join the Experimental Surgical Fellowship in Switzerland.
00:43:07I know. Your talent was extraordinary even then. Back then, I made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday.
00:43:18You know, when I established Heart Medical Center, my first priority was recruiting you.
00:43:24But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Vale, had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives.
00:43:33I understand now.
00:43:37So, should we pick up where we left off in residency?
00:43:49You're the boss.
00:43:50That's right. And as your boss, I say, come home with me.
00:43:56Tonight?
00:43:57You lost everything when Preston fired you. Hospital privileges, research funding, even your hospital-subsidized apartment.
00:44:09You have literally nowhere else to go tonight. Come with me.
00:44:16Where?
00:44:18My place.
00:44:27All right. I'll admit it. That was the best meal I've had in months.
00:44:32Hmm. Careful, Dr. Marksman. I might start thinking you're easy to please.
00:44:37That just depends on the company.
00:44:39Well, starting tonight, this is your new home. Until the program's fully established, it just makes sense.
00:44:48Are you sure about that? I mean, we already work late hours. Living together could get complicated.
00:44:56Well, I like complicated. Keeps things interesting.
00:45:00And where exactly will I be sleeping?
00:45:04Well, my master suite has a California cake.
00:45:15Plenty of room if things ever need to get more collaborative.
00:45:22Really?
00:45:24Relax. I'm only teasing. Tonight, at least. Come on.
00:45:35I'll show you your room. Unless you'd rather have a nightcap. And mine.
00:45:46Things could get dangerous.
00:45:54Is this pathetic attempt really the best that you can do?
00:45:56You are completely worthless as surgeons.
00:46:03Dr. Marksman, the experimental procedures we're trying to replicate here are extraordinarily intricate.
00:46:09We need at least six months to properly master...
00:46:13Six months?
00:46:14You have 72 hours. And I expect hourly updates on my desk.
00:46:19Sir, rushing these delicate procedures dramatically increases the possibility of potentially fatal complications.
00:46:25Three days. Then you don't get one hour more.
00:46:29Go. Go.
00:46:31Report, Dr. Marksman. What's our status?
00:46:38Excellent progress, Mr. Vale. We will be advancing to phase two implementation within three days.
00:46:42That's exactly what I wanted to hear. I knew my judgment in appointing you was flawless.
00:46:53Preston, I need an update on the experimental surgery program.
00:46:57Everything's proceeding perfectly, Father.
00:46:59Outstanding. When this is done, I'll throw you a huge party to celebrate the launch.
00:47:04Your father must be so proud of you.
00:47:07Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:47:09I'll make sure my father understands your invaluable contribution.
00:47:13This is my shot.
00:47:14Why settle for chief of surgery? With the right maneuvering, I could become the next chief medical officer of Vale Hospital.
00:47:21Mr. Vale, my purpose is to execute the visionary medical strategies of brilliant administrators such as yourself.
00:47:30I believe that in the position of chief medical officer, I could implement your ideas more effectively throughout the entire hospital.
00:47:38If these procedures prove successful, I will personally discuss your advancement with the board.
00:47:42Truly, that's...
00:47:45I am profoundly grateful, sir. Thank you.
00:47:51You're finally awake.
00:48:08You can keep appreciating the view while you eat.
00:48:14All right. Ooh, breakfast. Looks good. Thank you.
00:48:23When you're finished eating, we'll head directly to the surgical wing. Sound good?
00:48:27Yes. Absolutely.
00:48:29Good.
00:48:31Get it up and running, and there may be a special bonus waiting for you.
00:48:39Extra special.
00:48:49Okay, team. We're approaching a critical phase of our program development.
00:48:53We have groundbreaking procedures that we need to perfect in very little time, so let's get to it.
00:48:58Let's start revolutionizing medicine.
00:49:01I have excellent news for all of you. I've just finalized arrangements with the board, and 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.
00:49:17And 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.
00:49:31At Heart Medical Center, our surgeons are the lifeblood of our institution, and you will be compensated accordingly.
00:49:39Dr. Heart, we are fully committed to making this surgical program a success.
00:49:46Absolutely. You'll be seeing progress ASAP.
00:49:50Vail Hospital won't know what hit him. With Adrian leading us, victory is guaranteed.
00:49:54Heart is best, heart is best, heart is best, heart is best, heart is best, heart is best.
00:50:02We're running wild hearts on fire, whoa, we're chasing dreams and climbing higher, whoa, we can't hold us back, I'm ready to stay, can't hold us back, we're going on the way.
00:50:21You always this disciplined? Or are you just trying to impress me?
00:50:38If I was trying to impress you, you even know.
00:50:40Midnight meetings, long hours, this work ethic of yours, it's a little dangerous.
00:50:51That's what Belle used to say about me.
00:50:56Then they fired me.
00:51:00Then they were fools.
00:51:04You've earned more than just respect here, Adrian.
00:51:07You know that, right?
00:51:13You trying to motivate me again?
00:51:16I don't try.
00:51:17I do.
00:51:24Well, don't work too late.
00:51:30You're no good to me, burnt out.
00:51:31The incompetence is, uh, is staggering.
00:51:44Yeah, you too are in way over your heads.
00:51:46Do you really think that this is acceptable?
00:51:51I give you one simple task and you screw it up.
00:51:55How the hell did either of you even finish residency?
00:51:59Vail General Hospital is the gold standard and you two are just standing around like clueless little interns.
00:52:06If these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow, you're both gone.
00:52:10Is that clear?
00:52:10Yes, sir.
00:52:12This is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team?
00:52:18Go.
00:52:24Oh, Mr. Vail.
00:52:26What a, what a, what a surprise.
00:52:28Cut the bullshit, Marksman.
00:52:30We're on schedule or not.
00:52:32Of course.
00:52:34We're, we're just refining the final stages.
00:52:38Yeah, everything is under control.
00:52:40Good.
00:52:41There's a problem, I expect to hear it from you.
00:52:43No cover-ups.
00:52:44Of course, sir.
00:52:48Mr. Vail.
00:52:49Not now.
00:52:50Go get me the latest performance reports.
00:52:55It, uh, looks like Preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here.
00:53:01Don't worry.
00:53:03When Preston makes me chief medical officer, I'm gonna need someone flexible in my corner.
00:53:09I was back at the winning team, Dr. Marksman.
00:53:12Today, Vail Hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next-generation surgical program.
00:53:25This cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry,
00:53:31especially as Heart Medical's competing program was released on the same day.
00:53:35The question now is, who will define the future of surgery?
00:53:39Relax, Mr. Vail.
00:53:42Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance.
00:53:45I hope you're right.
00:53:47For your sake.
00:53:51Didn't you say that, uh, if the rollout went well, that you'd make me chief medical officer?
00:53:57It's not a success.
00:53:59Yet.
00:54:02Enjoy tonight's launch party.
00:54:04Because if our results don't outshine Heart Medical, it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long time.
00:54:09Dr. Hurt, we, um, have a problem.
00:54:25Vail Hospital's new surgical program launches today.
00:54:28That soon?
00:54:29They're hosting a big celebration party tonight.
00:54:32It's a good thing we're ahead of...
00:54:37You're saying we're ready?
00:54:40Why would I lie?
00:54:41We've been tracking Vail's every move.
00:54:44Let him celebrate.
00:54:45It's just gonna backfire.
00:54:47How exactly does that work in our favor?
00:54:50Viv, do you remember what I told you when you first brought me here?
00:54:55Preston Vail's rushing this.
00:54:57He's desperate to beat us to the market.
00:54:59And?
00:54:59Their model's flawed.
00:55:01If they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure and their approach,
00:55:06we won't have to lift a damn finger.
00:55:09And what about when it falls apart?
00:55:10Then Heart Medical takes over as the future of modern surgery.
00:55:15So you're saying that Vail Hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that you designed?
00:55:20It's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast.
00:55:23They're using an early draft full of mistakes that I won't make again.
00:55:27They don't even realize the cracks in their foundation.
00:55:31That actually makes perfect sense.
00:55:35Which means we've already won.
00:55:38Well, this is a big day for us.
00:55:40We should celebrate.
00:55:41What do you have in mind?
00:55:42Drinks?
00:55:43Not quite.
00:55:44You and I are crashing the Vail launch party tonight.
00:55:48What?
00:55:48Why?
00:55:50Let me worry about that.
00:55:52In the meantime, ensure a smooth rollout.
00:55:54Finish whatever procedures you need to.
00:55:57And meet me in the lobby at 8 p.m. sharp.
00:55:59Preston, we've been through so much together.
00:56:17I know where I'm headed in life, and I know who I want by my side.
00:56:21Tonight, at this launch party, celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program,
00:56:28you just met the perfect moment to ask,
00:56:31will you marry me?
00:56:37You should be fun.
00:56:41Absolutely.
00:56:43You really know how to take care of yourself, Mr. Vail?
00:56:46Stop it.
00:56:47Too bad you're taken.
00:56:48Yeah, yeah, what a shame.
00:56:50Where the fuck is Fiona?
00:56:52Told her meet me out here so we can go to this party together.
00:56:55Forget about her.
00:56:56She's just social climbing trash anyways.
00:56:59We'll show you a better time.
00:57:03Now that's an offer I can't refuse.
00:57:05Let's go.
00:57:06Fiona who?
00:57:10Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:57:12Let me get you off.
00:57:18The number you have dialed is unavailable.
00:57:36Please try again later.
00:57:38It's great.
00:57:38It's 20 in one day.
00:58:03All clean, all stable.
00:58:06Experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.
00:58:09You did it.
00:58:11No.
00:58:12We didn't.
00:58:16Dr. Marksman, you have to get to Vail's launch party pronto.
00:58:19You're already late.
00:58:20I need a change there.
00:58:21You don't have time.
00:58:22Where's Vivian?
00:58:25Taking care of something.
00:58:27She said it's really important that you be there and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:58:32Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vail Hospital's revolutionary surgical program.
00:58:52What the fuck?
00:58:53You're my date and you're wasted.
00:58:54I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.
00:58:58Yeah.
00:58:58God knows why I chose you, but I did.
00:59:01So if you want to keep your job and your status, sober up for God's sakes.
00:59:04Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?
00:59:26It's giving orderly shit.
00:59:29Maybe he's here to bust tables.
00:59:35What are you doing at our launch party?
00:59:37You weren't invited.
00:59:38You're so sure about that?
00:59:39I mean, look at you.
00:59:40This is a black tie.
00:59:42I mean, not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is.
00:59:44Oh, look who crawled in from the gutter.
00:59:49The failed surgeon.
00:59:51The fraud.
00:59:53The nobody.
00:59:55Show up to my party in dirty scrubs, Marksman?
00:59:58Thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the low lives.
01:00:01Guess you need to fire them too.
01:00:03Pardon me.
01:00:03I just came straight from surgery because some of us here are real surgeons.
01:00:08What are you trying to say?
01:00:09I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody, isn't me.
01:00:18I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.
01:00:22Got some nerve talking to my man Marksman like that.
01:00:26A genius like him leading our surgical team?
01:00:28You won't be able to get anywhere near our next party.
01:00:31Yeah, because it'll happen in prison.
01:00:33When you're all arrested for medical malpractice, criminal negligence, and identity theft.
01:00:40What are you talking about?
01:00:43Identity theft?
01:00:45Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?
01:00:47Yours?
01:00:48Let me give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.
01:00:51If you don't got it, you just act like you do.
01:00:54Speaking from experience.
01:00:57Look around you.
01:00:59This is the elite among the elite.
01:01:02The best of the best in the medical field.
01:01:04Just because you waltz in here and you're dirty, cheap scrubs, doesn't make you one of us.
01:01:09Good.
01:01:09I'm glad.
01:01:10Because you're all beneath me.
01:01:11Isn't that right, Dr. Marksman?
01:01:15That's enough.
01:01:16Guards!
01:01:18This former employee is threatening us.
01:01:21Kick him out.
01:01:23Touch me and you'll regret it.
01:01:26I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:01:30What are you dumbasses doing?
01:01:31Grab him!
01:01:32Christy!
01:01:47What the hell is this?
01:01:50Dad.
01:01:52Relax.
01:01:52I, uh...
01:01:53Relax?
01:01:55This twat came in uninvited.
01:01:56I was just kicking him out.
01:01:57Guards!
01:01:58Remove him immediately.
01:01:59President Vail, it truly is an honor to finally meet you.
01:02:02You get out of my way!
01:02:04Dad, what are you doing?
01:02:05This is, this is, this is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...
01:02:09You are such a fool!
01:02:13Dad.
01:02:14What are you, what are you doing?
01:02:16Open your eyes, Preston.
01:02:18This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...
01:02:21He is...
01:02:22Uh...
01:02:22You are a...
01:02:24Disgraced!
01:02:26Dad!
01:02:28My hospital meant something and...
01:02:30You turned it into a...
01:02:32Into a...
01:02:33You...
01:02:34Dad!
01:02:40Dad!
01:02:42President Vail.
01:02:44Fuck away from my dad!
01:02:46Are you out of your mind?
01:02:47He is the best surgeon in this room.
01:02:48Oh, yeah, like you give a shit about saving my dad.
01:02:51I'll die before I trust you two.
01:02:53Somebody get me a real doctor!
01:02:55David!
01:02:56David!
01:02:56Do something!
01:02:58It's cold!
01:03:02Can't think of what to do next?
01:03:05Blanking?
01:03:06Can't think of a diagnosis?
01:03:07Shut up!
01:03:08Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?
01:03:11This is ridiculous.
01:03:12I thought this David guy was a genius.
01:03:15Why are you just standing there?
01:03:16Do something!
01:03:17What's the matter, David?
01:03:20If you need help, just ask.
01:03:23All you have to do is admit what you did.
01:03:25Right here.
01:03:26Right now.
01:03:28I can't blow my cover, but...
01:03:30What if I kill him?
01:03:32I don't know anything about surgeries.
01:03:35I don't even know what's wrong with them.
01:03:37I did medical school on Zoom.
01:03:39David!
01:03:40This is a matter of life and death.
01:03:43Let it go!
01:03:44I...
01:03:46I...
01:03:46I...
01:03:47I can't.
01:03:50I can't do this.
01:03:53Okay, I can't...
01:03:55I can't do this.
01:03:56I can't do this without my notebook.
01:04:00That's my surgical notebook.
01:04:05He stole it from me.
01:04:13Okay, okay.
01:04:15I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.
01:04:18I can't do this.
01:04:19I can't do this.
01:04:20Okay.
01:04:21Okay.
01:04:22I got it.
01:04:23I got it.
01:04:24Here.
01:04:25Take it, take it, take it.
01:04:26Okay.
01:04:27All right.
01:04:28Hold his head.
01:04:29But tilt it back and apply pressure here.
01:04:32Okay.
01:04:33Okay.
01:04:44Okay.
01:04:46Okay.
01:04:47Great.
01:04:49Oh.
01:04:50Okay.
01:04:54Oh, thank God.
01:04:55How are you doing?
01:04:56Let out.
01:05:03That's my guy.
01:05:04Surgical genius.
01:05:07That's how Val makes history.
01:05:09Somebody get this man a medal.
01:05:11Or at least a new department.
01:05:12If you still want that chief medical officer position, say the word.
01:05:17Now, do I have to have somebody escort you out?
01:05:21That maneuver.
01:05:23That notebook.
01:05:24It's mine.
01:05:25Then tell them.
01:05:27Where is he going?
01:05:32Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program at another fake hospital.
01:05:37Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?
01:05:39Say, hey, why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life?
01:05:46That procedure David used, I invented it.
01:05:50What kind of crack are you smoking?
01:05:52He's delusional.
01:05:54Somebody seriously check this guy's medical license.
01:05:57The notebook he used to save your father.
01:06:00That's mine.
01:06:02My handwriting.
01:06:03My theories.
01:06:05You're just pissed because he did what you couldn't.
01:06:09I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories as innovation.
01:06:13And when it fails,
01:06:15then it will.
01:06:16You're not the ones that'll pay for it.
01:06:20The patients will.
01:06:21You can't prove that.
01:06:23Not yet.
01:06:25But you can't fake medicine.
01:06:28Medicine and science always tell the truth.
01:06:32Our three's vitals has just dropped.
01:06:36We've got uncontrolled bleeding.
01:06:37Second patient today.
01:06:38Same issue.
01:06:39Vessel ligation failed mid-operation.
01:06:42These techniques aren't viable.
01:06:43The veil method doesn't hold under stress.
01:06:47I mean, come on.
01:06:48Tonight proves it.
01:06:49We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country.
01:06:51I'll be right back.
01:07:01Just coordinating with the team.
01:07:06Talk to me.
01:07:06The vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again.
01:07:09This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.
01:07:14Use the compression step.
01:07:16That only works in controlled scenarios.
01:07:19We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.
01:07:22Look, just follow the notes.
01:07:27I designed those techniques for 101 guidance.
01:07:30Not mass implementation.
01:07:33Without calibration.
01:07:34It's unstable.
01:07:36It's dangerous.
01:07:37They tried to commercialize your success without you.
01:07:40Now people are paying for it.
01:07:43All good?
01:07:44Of course.
01:07:46Just routine coordination.
01:07:48Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.
01:07:52Your surgical program is failing.
01:07:53And patients are suffering.
01:07:55You've been out of the field for months.
01:07:57You wouldn't know.
01:07:58Yeah, I would know.
01:07:59Because the procedures that you're butchering,
01:08:02I invented.
01:08:03And I'm the only one in this room
01:08:04who can fix the mess that you made
01:08:06in your surgical wing.
01:08:07Oh, shit.
01:08:14Oh, yes.
01:08:15This is Dr. Marksman.
01:08:16Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:08:19Okay, listen very carefully.
01:08:22Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging
01:08:27because the vascular bundle clamp technique
01:08:30was improperly executed.
01:08:32No, you need to perform a Marksman-modified Pringle maneuver
01:08:35with selective hepatic arterial ligation
01:08:38followed by a rapid-sequence vascular anatomosis
01:08:41using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures.
01:08:45How do we even know he made a phone call?
01:08:53This whole thing is performance, a charade.
01:08:56You stole his methods.
01:08:58This entire launch party
01:09:00is built upon stolen work and guesswork.
01:09:04Uh, that's a lie.
01:09:05Then prove me wrong.
01:09:07Show them all a technique that I didn't create.
01:09:09Why would we believe anything he says?
01:09:14He was fired.
01:09:15He was humiliated.
01:09:16You're right, I was fired.
01:09:18And the same procedures I pioneered
01:09:20were renamed and sold back to the board
01:09:22as revolutionary.
01:09:24You know what?
01:09:25This is pathetic.
01:09:26He's just jealous.
01:09:27He missed his shot.
01:09:29Is that what you told yourself?
01:09:30When you snuck back into my office
01:09:32and stole my surgical journal?
01:09:34Even if that were true,
01:09:36this isn't the time or the place.
01:09:38I think it's exactly the time and place.
01:09:52I just got off the phone
01:09:53with our surgical coordinator.
01:09:56And thanks to Adrian's guidance,
01:09:58our surgeons were able to stabilize
01:10:00the coding patients.
01:10:02Adrian just cleaned up your mess.
01:10:05You took this good man's techniques
01:10:07that weren't ready
01:10:08and you fired him.
01:10:10The one person who could make them safe.
01:10:15Dad, you don't see the full picture here.
01:10:18Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.
01:10:20This hospital was built on trust
01:10:22and integrity
01:10:23and you've disgraced them both.
01:10:26Your father nearly died
01:10:28because of your ego.
01:10:30Because of his lies.
01:10:33You saved me.
01:10:35You saved Nelson.
01:10:37And now you can save Vale.
01:10:40I tried to warn you all.
01:10:42No one listened.
01:10:43They're listening now.
01:10:45You deserve to be at Vale
01:10:47more than either of those two
01:10:49and probably even more than me.
01:10:52It was a mistake to let you go.
01:10:56Months ago, I was fired from Vale Hospital
01:10:58with procedures still in development.
01:11:01They weren't ready.
01:11:02They needed supervision.
01:11:05Precision.
01:11:06Development.
01:11:07Instead, someone took my notes
01:11:08and tried to fast-track them for glory.
01:11:11Oh.
01:11:11You can't prove that.
01:11:14Security footage
01:11:15of you stealing Adrian's notebook
01:11:20from the hospital.
01:11:22Already submitted to the board.
01:11:25I built on what he started.
01:11:28Okay?
01:11:29I didn't steal.
01:11:30I enhanced it.
01:11:32Then why were patients about to die?
01:11:35You falsified rollout readiness?
01:11:38He did more than that.
01:11:40He put lives at risk
01:11:41to prove that he was smarter
01:11:43than the guy
01:11:44that actually created the program.
01:11:45We're going to need to open
01:11:47a formal investigation on this.
01:11:49This is absurd.
01:11:51This was supposed to be our night.
01:11:53Oh, it's your night.
01:11:55Just not the way you thought it'd be.
01:11:57You lied to me.
01:11:59I didn't lie.
01:12:00I simplified the truth.
01:12:02Simplify?
01:12:03You could have caused serious harm
01:12:05to countless innocent people.
01:12:08You nearly killed
01:12:09the president of the hospital.
01:12:10You passed up experimental procedures
01:12:12as launch ready.
01:12:14That's malpractice.
01:12:15They worked.
01:12:17Nelson's alive.
01:12:18Look, the patients, they're alive.
01:12:20Yeah, because of me.
01:12:21Those methods require
01:12:22sequential tensioning,
01:12:24breath control,
01:12:25special clamp techniques.
01:12:27Getting one beat wrong
01:12:27is the difference
01:12:28between life and death.
01:12:29Wait, these really are your techniques.
01:12:32I tested them for years.
01:12:34It was never meant for mass rollout.
01:12:37Not without training.
01:12:39You're rewriting history?
01:12:41No, you tried to erase him from it.
01:12:43Adrian Marksman was the reason
01:12:45that Vale's program had a future.
01:12:48And without him, it won't.
01:12:50This is absurd!
01:12:52You're siding with this
01:12:53disgraced former resident?
01:12:55He's not disgraced, son.
01:12:57You are.
01:12:58You hijacked a program you didn't understand.
01:13:02And then when your ego wasn't enough,
01:13:06you propped up this fraud.
01:13:10Taking his side, Dad?
01:13:12I'm your son.
01:13:13I'm taking the side of truth.
01:13:16And so will the board.
01:13:17We will be convening an emergency session
01:13:19tomorrow morning.
01:13:20Until then, both of you are suspended
01:13:22from all surgical and administrative duties.
01:13:25Suspended?
01:13:26No, no, no.
01:13:26You can't do that.
01:13:27You don't understand the politics
01:13:28of running a hospital.
01:13:30We understand the liability.
01:13:31That's enough.
01:13:34Mr. Preston Vale,
01:13:36Dr. David Marksman,
01:13:38come with us.
01:13:40Dad,
01:13:41you're not going to let him drag me out like this.
01:13:42I'm your son.
01:13:43No, don't you touch me.
01:13:45You're not a child.
01:13:46You're not my responsibility.
01:14:03Trim, please.
01:14:05I made a mistake.
01:14:06I see that now.
01:14:07I should have believed in you.
01:14:09I should have stood by you.
01:14:11You were right about everything.
01:14:12Just give me a second chance.
01:14:18Please.
01:14:20I still love you.
01:14:23Love?
01:14:24You traded him the second someone flashier walked by.
01:14:27You don't understand.
01:14:29I thought he was finished.
01:14:32I thought he had nothing left.
01:14:33So you sold him out.
01:14:35Mocked him.
01:14:37Over and over again.
01:14:39I was scared.
01:14:40I didn't know what to do.
01:14:42Oh, you knew.
01:14:43You just didn't care.
01:14:45Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser.
01:14:49Please.
01:14:51Say something.
01:14:54Anything.
01:14:55You had your chance, Fiona.
01:14:57And you spent it holding Preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive.
01:15:01You always belonged in my operating room.
01:15:12And I should have fought harder to keep you if I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes.
01:15:18The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board and David will never go near another patient again.
01:15:27We're rebuilding.
01:15:28And I want you back as Vale's chief of experimental surgery.
01:15:34I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.
01:15:39You had your chance, too.
01:15:41I'm not the same man that you fired.
01:15:44Well, all the more reason we need you back at Vale.
01:15:48Adrian 2.0.
01:15:49I'm not coming back.
01:15:53You're choosing her?
01:15:55Our rival?
01:15:56You arrogant little ingrate.
01:15:58I open the door for you and you slam it in my face.
01:16:03Just typical.
01:16:04Just when you had your moment, you turned your back on it for, for what, her?
01:16:10She's just going to use you up and toss you aside like everyone else.
01:16:14Oh, projecting much, Nelson.
01:16:17Get me out of here.
01:16:19Now!
01:16:20Now!
01:16:24Oh!
01:16:28Move back!
01:16:29Move back!
01:16:30Corma has good timing.
01:16:41Speaking of timing, we should get back to work.
01:16:45We have lives to save.
01:16:46Hey!
01:16:48Not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.
01:16:52I still owe you that extra special bonus.
01:16:58Now?
01:16:58Well, just in a time like the present.
01:17:08This is what victory tastes like.
01:17:11It's not bad.
01:17:13I need a second opinion.
01:17:17Well, I've got all night.
01:17:18And you're not leaving this room until I've properly celebrated my genius surgeon.
01:17:24Should I be afraid of a performance review?
01:17:26You're already exceeding expectations.
01:17:30But I am very thorough.
01:17:39Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.
01:17:44Besides meeting you, of course.
01:17:45I've got just on now.
01:17:47And we're going to help this.
01:17:48I know.
01:17:49But there's I'm going to be a person to keep watching it.
01:17:50But I can't just talk to you again because I'm going to be married.
01:17:55And you're going to play alegre of a bit in a day, got more.
01:18:01It's only because Iabad.
01:18:02But I'm going to come in.
01:18:03And you're going to know whatáis!
01:18:04But I'm going to even play a lot better than what?
01:18:05Yeah.
01:18:06So in and out there, I'll get the most out of my dreams.
