00:00Tell me, search it now!
00:01The patient won't survive.
00:02Watch.
00:03Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a reliable trauma like this?
00:07This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:09What you just did will go down in the history box.
00:12Who is this guy?
00:13He's taking over as hospital administrator.
00:15New management, new standards.
00:17Sleeping after a shift?
00:18You are fired.
00:20I just worked all night.
00:21Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:23He's the one.
00:23Didn't I fire you too already?
00:27Get your hand off my gun arm.
00:29We're done, Adrian.
00:31I need someone with a future.
00:33Dr. Marksman, would you consider joining Hart Medical Center as our chief of surgery?
00:37This isn't about money.
00:39Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you.
00:44This is revolutionary procedures.
00:46With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.
00:48Wait!
00:49Dad!
00:50Oh, why are you just standing there?
00:51Do something!
00:52If you need help, just ask.
00:53All you have to do is know what you did.
00:59A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured patients flooding into Vail Hospital's emergency department.
01:07The fate of these accident victims now rests in the hands of Vail's surgical team, their last hope for survival in the face of devastating trauma.
01:16Facials crashing!
01:17We need an attending surgeon now!
01:19All the arms are full.
01:20We've got three more clinicals incoming.
01:22Sir, the patient trauma three is coding.
01:25Oh, I can't leave this one.
01:26Where's Dr. Stevens?
01:27We need another attending surgeon.
01:29Everyone else is in the U.R.
01:47Need a hand?
01:49A new hire.
01:50You just started this month.
01:52Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level one trauma like this?
01:56Patient's pressure is dropping.
01:58Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman.
02:00Patient's yours.
02:07Okay, we are going to perform a modified whipple.
02:10Whipple?
02:11For trauma?
02:12That's insane.
02:14Trust me.
02:15That's some bomb scissors.
02:18Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
02:22That procedure will take hours.
02:24The patient won't survive.
02:26Bobby Cotter.
02:30Watch.
02:36He's doing it in half the normal time.
02:38The bleeding.
02:39The bleeding.
02:40It's under control.
02:41But how did he...
02:44Silk suture?
02:50Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
02:54I've never seen anything like this.
03:01Almost done.
03:10This patient's going to make a full recovery.
03:12Jesus, Adrian.
03:23What you just pulled off is impossible.
03:25I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but...
03:27That...
03:28That was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed.
03:32Where did you learn to operate like that?
03:33What you just did will go down in the history books.
03:36Wait.
03:37I heard President Vail personally recruited a medical prodigy who...
03:41Revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.
03:44Is that you?
03:45Final suture.
03:54Miss Vail's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
04:00Doctor.
04:03The nurses.
04:04They said you did it.
04:06And you...
04:07You actually did.
04:09Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.
04:14Every surgeon on the West Coast said it was inoperable.
04:17That she only had weeks to live, but...
04:19You...
04:21You saved my Catherine.
04:23You should make a full recovery, President Vail.
04:25Name your price or whatever it is.
04:27We need you at Vail.
04:29My hospital.
04:32Look, I'll explain later.
04:34Right now we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.
04:37It's going to take hours.
04:39Y'all should go home.
04:40Get some rest.
04:42I'll take over from here.
04:44Okay.
04:46Good work, everyone.
04:47Good work, everyone.
05:09They're all stable.
05:20Every single one of them.
05:22Stabilized.
05:27Oh.
05:28Sun's coming up.
05:30You must have operated all night.
05:32You're a machine.
05:33Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
05:36All right.
05:37It's time for some much-needed shut-eye.
05:40Hey, you.
05:59Hey, yourself.
06:00I've been operating all night.
06:04See you with every single patient in that pileup.
06:07What you did was extraordinary.
06:10How do you always know exactly what I needed?
06:13Because I know you.
06:16Better than anyone.
06:22Goldberry.
06:24Your favorite.
06:26You remember it.
06:27Where's your favorite?
06:28You know, I've been thinking lately about us.
06:34I know it's only been a month, but it just feels different.
06:39It's the third time this week.
06:49Hospital needs better than someone else's.
06:51Hmm.
06:53So who's this marksman guy?
06:55His surgical skills are unreal.
06:56Sure.
06:57I thought he was just another new hire.
06:59I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
07:02With a talent like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department right now.
07:05What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?
07:15Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.
07:21Who is this guy?
07:24Preston Bale.
07:25Preston Bale's son.
07:26Harvard MBA.
07:27He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife,
07:31who just recovered from an experimental pancreatic duodenectomy.
07:36I'm sorry.
07:36Am I looking at two board-certified surgeons or med school dropouts?
07:42Hard to tell based on your behavior.
07:44Sir, I vote last.
07:45Save it.
07:47Parker, you couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
07:52You're fired.
07:54Clear out your office.
07:55New management means new standards.
07:58It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.
08:00Attention in everybody's attention now.
08:07If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs, every surgery must be perfect.
08:13No complications, no deaths.
08:16This second-rate medicine stops right now.
08:21Who's he thinking is, Dr. House?
08:22What is this?
08:26Excellence in emergency medicine?
08:29Save your ego stroking for your own time.
08:33This is a hospital.
08:35We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
08:38That was for my residency direction.
08:41Oh, cry me a river.
08:43Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients and a little less time collecting gold stars,
08:48you'd be a real doctor.
08:50You're fired.
08:51Excuse me?
08:52Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop,
08:54just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.
08:57Yes, sir.
08:58Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?
09:01That was good.
09:03Let's go.
09:08Well, well, well.
09:10What do we have here?
09:12Sleeping after a shift?
09:15Rise and shine, superstar.
09:16Did I order a wake-up call?
09:23No, you didn't.
09:25But here's one anyway.
09:26You are fired.
09:31Are you serious?
09:33You're firing me?
09:34Do you need me to draw your diagram, doctor?
09:38Well, no, but there must be some sort of mistake.
09:41Fiona, what's his position here?
09:44He's...
09:44a new surgical resident, Mr. Valp.
09:48What's he make?
09:50$700,000.
09:51That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
09:54$700?
09:55Are you insane?
09:56You're giving resident money to a first-year who sleeps on the job?
09:59This hospital is being scammed.
10:02I just worked all night.
10:04Okay, I'm just taking a nap.
10:05Oh, so now you're expecting overtime pay?
10:08Seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.
10:12What were you thinking?
10:13I'm hiring this fraud.
10:15Either you're as dumb as these hack surgeons, or this is some sort of insurance scam.
10:20Adrian and I might be sleeping together, but I can't let him drag me down.
10:24My career comes first.
10:26And boy, bye.
10:28There must be some clerical error.
10:31These credentials.
10:32Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
10:35Fiona.
10:38Dr. Marksman.
10:40You are F-I-R-E-D fired.
10:46Clear out your office.
10:47Clear out your locker.
10:49Get the hell out of my hospital.
10:52This is a mistake, okay?
10:53You need to check the surgical lock.
10:55You didn't wear that.
10:56Or...
10:56I see.
11:04Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
11:09You don't understand.
11:10He's the one who...
11:11Didn't I fire you two already?
11:13Beat it.
11:14Vail is still the number one hospital in the nation.
11:17Okay, don't make this worse for yourselves.
11:18I understand.
11:38Hospital politics.
11:40Look, I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.
11:45Meet me in the lobby after your shift.
11:46I'll be waiting.
11:56You care to explain that little exchange?
12:03If the void won't like this, four attendings dismissed in one day, patient care will suffer.
12:10Fear is a weapon, Fiona.
12:12I intend to wield it.
12:13Or perhaps you're more concerned with one surgeon in particular?
12:18Your little scam artist situation-ship?
12:21No, Preston.
12:22He means nothing to me.
12:23Really.
12:24I have no personal stake in your staffing decision.
12:26Let's be clear about your future here.
12:29Do you want to be with the nobody collecting unemployment checks?
12:33Or the man who signs everyone's paychecks?
12:37Including yours.
12:39The man who signs everyone's paychecks.
12:42Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded.
12:47Who's in charge around here?
12:57Hey, Dad.
12:58What's wrong?
12:59Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.
13:01She'll be okay, but I need you to take full control of the hospital.
13:05And Preston, there's something critical you need to know.
13:08Of course.
13:09What is it?
13:10That new surgeon, Dr. Marksman?
13:12Whatever happens, make sure you take care of him.
13:16Dr. Marksman?
13:17Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired.
13:20Get out of my hospital.
13:22Christ.
13:23The resident I just fired?
13:25Preston?
13:26Are you there?
13:28Check the staff roster.
13:30See if we have another Marksman working for us here.
13:33I had to back up the brakes truck to get him here.
13:38He's a surgeon who saved her mother's life.
13:41And he's pioneering our experimental surgery program.
13:45The hospital's reputation rests on his work.
13:54Ah, yes.
13:55I see now there's another surgeon attending with that name.
13:59Dr. Marksman, pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
14:02Two-time Florence Nightingale, medal recipient for medical excellence.
14:07Three-times Apex award winner for clinical research.
14:09Is this who you mean, Dad?
14:10That's our man.
14:12There's another surgeon with the same last name who's been a disaster for us.
14:16Negligent, lazy, you name it.
14:18Do me a favor.
14:19Fire him.
14:21Already done, Dad.
14:22I fired his slacker ass this morning.
14:25Thank God.
14:26Almost thought I fired our star surgeon.
14:29Good work, son.
14:31I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
14:34Just, uh, just take care of Mom, all right?
14:36I got everything else under control.
14:38See?
14:46Told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless.
14:49Now, about your career trajectory.
14:53Mr. Vail, sir.
14:54Can't you see I'm busy?
14:56Multiple traumas incoming.
14:58The six-car pileup.
14:59You fired half our surgery team.
15:00What's your point?
15:01ER is crashing.
15:03We've no one left who can handle it.
15:04Give me the situation.
15:12Now.
15:13Six critical traumas, three more incoming.
15:16Multiple crush injuries, arterial bleeds, sir.
15:19We're losing patients.
15:21What are our options?
15:23Maybe one solution.
15:24Well, spit it out.
15:26Dr. Marksman.
15:27He handled four critical traumas along last night.
15:30If we can get him back here.
15:31Marksman.
15:32Right.
15:32That's the man we need.
15:33Fiona?
15:33Call him.
15:35Which Dr. Marksman should I?
15:37The genius surgeon.
15:38The one I didn't fire.
15:39Keep up.
15:45The hell?
15:47Where did all this stuff go?
15:48The idiot left us research notes.
16:06Hmm.
16:07Modified trauma protocol.
16:10Wait.
16:12Is it his revolutionary procedures?
16:14Oh, this is brilliant work.
16:18Oh, this is brilliant work.
16:22Hello?
16:23Dr. Marksman?
16:24Multiple critical traumas in the ER.
16:27Preston Vale says if you can handle this crisis, there's a monster promotion waiting.
16:31I'm on my way.
16:32With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.
16:39They'll make me department head.
16:42And I can finally make seven figures.
16:50Well?
16:51Dr. Marksman's on his way.
16:52Thank God.
16:53Thank God.
17:03Now, about your loyalty.
17:07Adrian meant nothing.
17:09I was using him to advance my career and my future.
17:12That's my girl.
17:42I was using him to advance my career.
17:44Thank you so much.
17:45I'll be here.
17:50Okay.
19:12To hell with this. I'm going out.
19:15I'm going out.
19:45You mean to tell me that you've been messing around with this incompetent nepo baby?
19:50I can choose who I want. And I don't want a disgrace surgeon with no future.
19:54You pathetic loser.
19:55We're done, Adrian.
20:13Ancient history.
20:15Are you serious?
20:16Just like that.
20:19Sorry that this bum wrinkled your jacket.
20:21Why are you doing this, Fiona?
20:26Am I just a stepping stone to you?
20:28I need someone with a future.
20:30Not someone who sleeps while patients are dying.
20:33Keep it for when you get lonely and horny.
20:40It's the closest you'll ever come to the real thing again.
20:42Look at us, Adrian.
20:48I'm the future of the Vail Hospital.
20:51And you?
20:51I'm just a slacker and scrubs.
20:58You're washed up, marksman.
20:59Perhaps try nursing?
21:01I'd be there always hiring.
21:04Fiona, I met you here and it made me want to stay.
21:06I thought we could build a family together.
21:10Get over yourself.
21:12You think I'm going to stay with someone who lied about their credentials?
21:16President Vail would never have hired someone who sleeps during shifts.
21:23We're done.
21:24I'm not done.
21:26But when I am, there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.
21:31You can count on that.
21:33No, no, no.
21:36Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.
21:39Your troubles are just getting started.
21:45Who authorized you to be here?
21:47Mr. Vail, I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision,
21:50we've stabilized all the patients from the multi-car accident
21:53and the situation is completely under control.
21:56You're Dr. Marksman.
21:58Ah, yes.
21:59The very same.
22:00My father mentioned your exceptional credentials.
22:04Harvard Medical, father?
22:06These morons have no idea I'm taking credit for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.
22:12As long as the boss's son is impressed,
22:14I'll be chief of surgery by next month.
22:16Mr. Vail, I've identified who's responsible for all the issues in OR3 today.
22:22He was sleeping while the patient almost died on the table.
22:26Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
22:28Dr. Hart.
22:38Incredible news.
22:40Dr. Adrian Marksman, that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking,
22:44he's just been terminated from Vail Hospital.
22:47When?
22:48Less than an hour ago.
22:50Dismissed by President Vail's son.
22:51Amazing.
22:56I pay to see Nelson Vail's face when he discovers that his prized surgeon was fired by his submental son.
23:04With our respect, we're still establishing our reputation.
23:08Would someone of Marksman's caliber even consider joining us?
23:12Well, I'll offer him whatever it takes.
23:15Full department autonomy.
23:18Research funding.
23:19State-of-the-art facilities.
23:22And if necessary,
23:23my personal involvement.
23:27His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.
23:31Have my car brought round.
23:33I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.
23:34And Adrian Marksman?
23:37He's leaving with me.
23:45Oh, feasants.
23:46What kind of delusional accusation is that?
23:49Oh, don't insult our intelligence.
23:51A patient coded while you were off taking a nap.
23:53The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental.
23:55Yet you stand there denying it.
23:57This is crazy.
23:58You've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon.
24:01And when a complication occurs,
24:02which happened in this hospital under your incompetent leadership,
24:07you blame me.
24:11The collective medical knowledge in this room isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.
24:16If you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be,
24:18you would still have a job.
24:21I'm not going to stand here and debate medicine with you in front of Mr. Vail.
24:24Security, please detain him.
24:27What exactly are you accusing me of?
24:34Either confess to medical malfeasance,
24:37or they'll escort you to the police for criminal negligence.
24:42Adrian, I never realized you were capable of endangering patients.
24:46What other medical atrocities have you committed?
24:49You better confess now,
24:50or we'll do everything in your power to make sure you lose your medical license.
24:55What?
24:55Go ahead.
24:57Do your worst.
24:59Let's see if a single piece of evidence holds up in front of the medical board.
25:02You really underestimate my family's influence, don't you?
25:09Don't you realize that Mr. Vail here can end your entire career with one phone call?
25:14Sir, I strongly recommend that we make an example out of him.
25:18After all, he'll be a danger to his patients wherever he goes.
25:20Preston, you can't let him walk away after this.
25:24Not after what he did to our patients.
25:27I'm contacting the medical board right now.
25:30As of this moment, Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted from Vail Hospital and every medical institute in the country.
25:36Plan's in motion, Adrian.
25:39Do you know what that means?
25:41It means that you will never practice medicine in this country again.
25:47I have one question before I go.
25:49Does your father know you fired me?
25:52My father's the one who asked me to fire you, you dipshit.
25:55You thought you were some brilliant surgical god, didn't you?
26:02Security, remove this criminal from hospital property immediately.
26:05Immediately.
26:07Yes, doctor.
26:07Right away, sir.
26:11That's quite enough.
26:12Let him go.
26:26Dr. Marksman is about to accept the position as chief of surgical innovation at Hart Medical Center.
26:35Hart, the surgical upstart from that medical clinic across town.
26:39That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you.
26:42Mr. Vail?
26:44Vivian, I haven't seen you since the John Hopkins Symposium, like four or five years ago.
26:49What are you doing here?
26:50Well, I'm here for the most innovative surgeon in the country, of course.
26:55Wait.
26:56Are you seriously suggesting this negligent doctor has value?
27:00He was sleeping during rounds.
27:02Is this how Vail Hospital discards its exceptional talent?
27:07Your father built this institution's reputation of medical excellence,
27:11not petty politics.
27:14Dr. Hart, with all due respect...
27:17This is a conversation between medical directors.
27:19Someone in your position should recognize when to maintain silence.
27:23Dr. Hart, I must inform you that Dr. Marksman represents a serious liability.
27:28He compromised patient safety and...
27:31I don't believe I requested your medical opinion, Dr...
27:34Marksman.
27:34David Marksman.
27:36I have neither time nor interest in your assessment.
27:41After he decided to go to sleep, we had a critical surgical complication.
27:47His negligence led to the problem.
27:49His actions not only endangered patients, it compromised my hospital's reputation.
27:53Are you really willing to defend someone who violates the Hippocratic Oath?
27:59Did you actually consult with your father before dismissing Dr. Marksman?
28:04Of course I consulted my father.
28:08He's the one who specifically mentioned his dangerous surgical shortcuts and inflated reputation.
28:14Dangerous shortcuts?
28:15Is that what President Vail really said?
28:18His exact words were, remove him at first opportunity.
28:22President Vail was the one that recruited me.
28:24This makes absolutely no sense.
28:25Please, Adrian.
28:27The President wouldn't personally recruit a mid-level surgeon like you.
28:31Those gala invitations were professional courtesy, not genuine respect.
28:37Well, if that's the way things work at Vail, I have nothing more to contribute to any of you.
28:41Dr. Marksman, would you consider joining Hart Medical Center as our chief of surgery?
28:48Well, I...
28:49Full department autonomy, protected research time, a surgical fellowship in your name, and a seven-figure salary package.
29:11And Cash, Dr. Marksman, I want you to revolutionize our surgery program.
29:36Hopefully this shows you.
29:38I mean what I say.
29:41Chief of surgery?
29:48You're offering all this to a surgeon who can't even keep his eyes open on the job?
29:53Dr. Hart, have you completely lost your medical judgment, or are you on drugs?
29:58This is absurd.
30:00He was a mediocre surgeon here at Vail.
30:02And now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department?
30:06The medical board should review your hiring practices.
30:13Vivian, I appreciate your confidence.
30:17This isn't about money.
30:20Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you.
30:25She's offering herself up to him.
30:27She can't do that.
30:27Are you a doctor or a call girl?
30:31At Hart Medical Center, you will be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves.
30:36Including a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value.
30:41And I do mean anything, Dr. Marksman.
30:45Dr. Hart, for the sake of your own reputation, you need to know that this hack you're so eagerly pursuing has a documented history of negligence.
30:54My father confirmed it himself.
30:57Is that precisely what Nelson Vail told you?
31:00His exact words.
31:03Negligence, Serge?
31:04What are those?
31:08Personal gifts from your father?
31:12My fellowship offer?
31:15My personal research lab?
31:17My surgical team?
31:18I'm leaving it all behind.
31:20You can tell President Vail that as of this moment, Dr. Marksman has permanently withdrawn from Vail Hospital and all of its affiliated institutions.
31:32You know what?
31:32Spare us the theatrics, Adrian.
31:34You never deserved those privileges in the first place.
31:37The medical board is going to see that justice is done.
31:41Oh, your stupidity.
31:44It's just astonishing.
31:46You treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels.
31:50This man is a life-saving artist.
31:57Dr. Hart, I understand there's some competition between your center and Vail Hospital.
32:02Yeah, look, I'll be real.
32:04We're struggling to get out from under their shadow.
32:06I'd be happy to help you out with that.
32:09Take me on, and I'll transform Hart into the number one surgical institution in the country.
32:14Look at yourself, Adrian.
32:18Offering your skills to a struggling clinic.
32:20How pathetically desperate.
32:23Oh.
32:24A backstabbing bottom feeder like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his caliber.
32:30How dare you talk to me like that!
32:32Your malpractice has caused catastrophic damage to my hospital's reputation.
32:38As the responsible party, I demand that you issue a formal apology to one of the major medical journals.
32:45And with an explanation to every affected Vail Hospital patient.
32:50Refuse me, and I will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently.
32:56That accusation isn't just baseness.
32:58It's absurd.
32:59What exactly do you think you're going to do about it?
33:02You've got no choice but to sign this confession.
33:04Oh, stop threatening my chief surgeon.
33:06If you insist on pursuing this vendetta, have your attorney send a formal complaint to Hart Medical Center.
33:13We'll consider it nothing less than a declaration of total war.
33:18If it's war you want, I will obliterate your dime store clinic with everything that I've got.
33:25Let's go.
33:27One more second, and this cesspool's going to make me physically ill.
33:30Mr. Vail, don't you waste another precious moment on those secondary practitioners.
33:45David, you've proven your loyalty.
33:48The chief of surgery position is yours, effective immediately.
33:51Mr. Vail, I swear on my medical oath that I will not disappoint you.
34:16Mr. Vail, a commuter train derailed.
34:20Six critical patients incoming.
34:22Dr. Marksman, OR1 now.
34:24Now's your time to shine, Dr. Marksman.
34:26Shit, I'm screwed.
34:27Adrian's surgical journal with all his proprietary techniques is still in my office.
34:31If Preston finds out I stole it and then couldn't even use it properly,
34:35I implemented a groundbreaking surgical protocol that I invented myself.
34:41These techniques are revolutionary.
34:44I'll walk you through it in detail after the emergency.
34:47It's impressive, Dr. Marksman.
34:48You've obviously got your own methodology.
34:51No need to bore me with the specifics.
34:53I trust your brilliance.
34:54Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
34:56With you leading my surgical team, I can focus on what really matters.
35:01Hospital expansion.
35:01Again, sir, I'm deeply honored.
35:12Behold, Vail Hospital's new chief of surgery.
35:15Let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now.
35:22Glad you're feeling better, honey.
35:24Yeah.
35:25Oh, sorry.
35:27Who's this?
35:28Who's this?
35:31Nelson Vail speaking.
35:33President Vail, Dr. Vivian Hart here.
35:36I am calling to let you know that as of this morning,
35:39Hart Medical Center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena.
35:43Revolutionary surgical procedures are Vail Hospital's domain.
35:48Are you absolutely certain you want to pick this flight?
35:51This is merely a professional courtesy call,
35:54not an invitation for debate.
35:55Now, just that conniving bitch plotting.
36:05She knows Adrian is our surgical secret weapon.
36:09Why would she deliberately provoke a medical war she has?
36:12Absolutely no chance of winning.
36:18Unless...
36:19Dad, we've got multiple traumas coming in.
36:25Just tell me you didn't fire Dr. Marksman.
36:29Dad, relax.
36:31I fired the other one.
36:32An incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned.
36:34Now explain to me why Hart Medical Center
36:38believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy.
36:42Because I masterfully led Vivian Hart into a false sense of reality.
36:47There's no way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures.
36:51I convinced Vivian that she's acquired surgical brilliance.
36:55But in reality, she's hired our disgraced, discarded loser.
36:59So you deliberately manipulated Vivian?
37:02She thinks she's hired genius behind Vail Hospital's groundbreaking procedures.
37:08That's why she had the audacity to declare war on you.
37:10Impressive, son.
37:12You're finally showing some of the leadership qualities.
37:14I've been waiting to see out of you.
37:16I think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division.
37:23Dad, this is everything I've worked for.
37:27We'll get to work immediately.
37:28We're going to expose Hart Medical Center
37:32for the low-grade institution it truly is.
37:36Their humiliation will be quick and absolute.
37:39I won't let you down.
37:40Darling, surgical innovation is the future of Vail.
37:47Preston only got his MBA last year.
37:49Do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program?
37:53I would never take a risk like this if Preston was our only asset.
37:58Remember, we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon.
38:03You mean the surgeon that saved my life?
38:06Dr. Adrian Marksman?
38:08Exactly.
38:09And all I need to do is stay hands-off
38:13and let him exercise his extraordinary talents.
38:18As long as Adrian is with Vail Hospital,
38:22Hart Medical Center has no chance of competing.
38:25Not only that,
38:26Vivian fell for Preston's manipulation
38:29and hired that medical disaster,
38:32Dr. David Marksman.
38:34What we have to do now is sit back
38:38and watch her would-be empire crumble.
38:47So, now that you've seen the surgical department,
38:51what do you think?
38:54It's not bad.
38:55It's a small team, but they're talented.
38:58What you've built here,
38:59it's impressive, Viv.
39:01It's good to see you again after all these years, Adrian.
39:06You too.
39:08We need to expand.
39:10It's too small for what I'm planning.
39:13Also,
39:14I heard you weren't the only surgeon
39:17Preston Vail fired.
39:23We have all the angles figured out, don't you?
39:25And they always find the best one.
39:27I'm going to start recruiting.
39:38Good.
39:40The faster we rise,
39:42the more rewarding this partnership becomes.
39:46This better be good.
40:00Mr. Vail,
40:02you wanted to see me?
40:07My father
40:08has granted me
40:09complete authority
40:10over our experimental surgical department.
40:13Given your new position
40:14as chief of surgery,
40:16I'm appointing you
40:17head of innovation.
40:18Mr. Vail,
40:19I, uh...
40:20Is there an issue with that?
40:22No, absolutely not.
40:24The budget for innovation
40:25is astronomical,
40:27and President Vail
40:28has already handed control
40:29to his son?
40:30If I oversee these procedures,
40:32I could divert significant resources
40:34to my personal research.
40:37Mr. Vail,
40:38you can trust me completely.
40:40I am precisely
40:41the right man for the job.
40:42Preston,
40:45we have a catastrophe
40:46on our hands.
40:47Two attending surgeons
40:47just submitted their resignation
40:49simultaneously.
40:50The department
40:50can't possibly maintain
40:51its caseload.
40:52What?
40:52They both resigned at once?
40:54What was their explanation?
40:55They refused to disclose
40:56their reasons.
40:57But there's talk
40:57they were recruited
40:58by a former Vail physician,
41:00along with the three other surgeons
41:01you fired before.
41:02Former physician
41:03Adrian Marksman,
41:04this has his
41:05saboteur signature
41:06all over it.
41:07Preston,
41:07what's our contingency plan?
41:09The surgical department
41:10is severely understaffed.
41:12If any more surgeons leave,
41:13patients will suffer.
41:14Hey, everybody.
41:15Needs to remain calm.
41:18You still have me.
41:20I can rebuild this department.
41:22Ah, yes.
41:23With your stellar reputation,
41:25we should be able
41:25to get the best of the best.
41:27Exactly.
41:28So we lost
41:29some second-rate talent.
41:31Let him go.
41:33I'll make some calls
41:34to Cedars-Sinai
41:35and UCLA.
41:38Good work, Marksman.
41:43This is working out perfectly.
41:45Now I can install
41:46my own allies
41:46in key positions.
41:48Soon,
41:48I'll control
41:49the entire hospital's
41:50medical direction.
