You Fired A Genius Surgeon – Full Movie | ReelShort
Transcript
00:00:00A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured patients flooding into Vail Hospital's emergency department.
00:00:10The 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.
00:00:19It's just crashing! We need an attending surgeon now!
00:00:22All the hours are full. We've got three more clinical things coming.
00:00:25Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding.
00:00:28Well, I can't leave this long. Where's Dr. Stevens?
00:00:31We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in DR.
00:00:51Anything yet?
00:00:52A new hire. You're just starting this month.
00:00:56Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level 1 trauma like this?
00:01:00Patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:02Improve yourself, Dr. Marksman. Patient's yours.
00:01:06Okay, we are going to perform a modified whipple.
00:01:13Whipple? Performa? That's insane.
00:01:16Trust me.
00:01:18Add some bomb scissors.
00:01:21Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:24That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive.
00:01:28The patient won't survive.
00:01:30Obicoterie.
00:01:33Watch.
00:01:40He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:42The bleeding. It's under control.
00:01:45But how's the...
00:01:48Silk suture.
00:01:49Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:02:02I've never seen anything like this.
00:02:05Almost done.
00:02:06This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:19What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:02:20I thought you were just a working surgeon, but...
00:02:21That...
00:02:22That was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed.
00:02:23Where did you learn the outfit like that?
00:02:24What you just did will go down in the history books.
00:02:26Wait.
00:02:27I heard President Bale personally recruited a medical prodigy who revolutionized surgical procedures in Mass General.
00:02:32Is that you?
00:02:33Final suture.
00:02:34Ms. Bale's new pancreatic duct is Anastomosed.
00:02:36Final suture.
00:02:37Ms. Bale's new pancreatic duct is Anastomosed.
00:02:39What you just did will go down in the history books.
00:02:40What you just did will go down in the history books.
00:02:41Wait.
00:02:42I heard President Bale personally recruited a medical prodigy who revolutionized surgical procedures in Mass General.
00:02:46Is that you?
00:02:47Final suture.
00:02:48Ms. Bale's new pancreatic duct is Anastomosed.
00:02:52Doctor.
00:02:53The nurses.
00:02:54They said you did it.
00:03:07And you, you actually did.
00:03:11Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.
00:03:13Every surgeon on the west coast said it was inoperable that she only had weeks to live by.
00:03:18You saved my Catherine.
00:03:19She'll make the full recovery, President Bale.
00:03:20Name your price, whatever it is.
00:03:21We need you at Bale.
00:03:22My hospital.
00:03:23I'll explain later.
00:03:24Right now we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.
00:03:25It's gonna take hours.
00:03:26I should go home.
00:03:27Get some rest.
00:03:28I'll take over from here.
00:03:29Okay.
00:03:30Good work, everyone.
00:03:31Good work, everyone.
00:03:37Good work, man.
00:03:38Good work, man.
00:03:39I'm not gonna go home.
00:03:40I'm not gonna go home.
00:03:41No, no, no, no, no.
00:03:42I'm not gonna go home.
00:03:43No, no, no.
00:03:44No, no, no.
00:03:45No, no, no, no.
00:03:46I'm not gonna go home.
00:03:47But right now we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.
00:03:49It's gonna take hours.
00:03:50I should go home, get some rest.
00:03:52I'll take over from here.
00:04:23They're all stable. Every single one of them. Stabilized.
00:04:31Oh, sun's coming out. You must have operated all night.
00:04:36You're a machine.
00:04:37Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
00:04:40All right. It's time for some much-needed Jedi.
00:04:53Hey, you.
00:05:03Hey, yourself.
00:05:06I've been operating all night.
00:05:08I've been every single patient in that pilot.
00:05:11It was extraordinary.
00:05:13How do you always know exactly what I needed?
00:05:18Because I know you.
00:05:20Better than anyone.
00:05:27You're there.
00:05:28You're there, right?
00:05:29You remember.
00:05:31Perceive it.
00:05:32You know, I've been thinking lately about us.
00:05:38I know it's only been a month, but...
00:05:41It just feels different.
00:05:43It's the third time this week.
00:05:53Possibly he's better one than someone else's.
00:05:55Hmm.
00:05:57So who's this marksman guy?
00:05:59His surgical skills are unreal.
00:06:00Sure. I thought he was just another new hire.
00:06:03I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:06:06With a talent like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department.
00:06:08What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?
00:06:19Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.
00:06:25Who is this guy?
00:06:28Preston Bale.
00:06:29Preston Bale's son.
00:06:30Harvard MBA.
00:06:31He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife,
00:06:34who just recovered from an experimental and creatico duo.
00:06:38Would you like it to me?
00:06:39I'm sorry.
00:06:40Am I looking at two board-certified surgeons or med school dropouts?
00:06:46Parts to help based on your behavior.
00:06:48Sir, about my...
00:06:49Save it.
00:06:51Parker.
00:06:53You couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:06:56You're fired.
00:06:58They're at your office.
00:06:59New management means new standards.
00:07:02It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.
00:07:04Attention in everybody's attention now.
00:07:11If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs, every surgery must be perfect.
00:07:17No complications, no deaths.
00:07:20The second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:07:24Who's he thinking is, Dr. House?
00:07:26What is this?
00:07:30Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:07:33Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:07:37This is a hospital.
00:07:39We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
00:07:43That's from my residency direction.
00:07:45Oh, cry me a river.
00:07:47Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients, a little less time collecting gold stars, you'd be a real doctor.
00:07:54You're fired.
00:07:55Excuse me?
00:07:56Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop, just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.
00:08:01Yes, sir.
00:08:02Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?
00:08:06That was good.
00:08:07Let's go.
00:08:12Well, well, well.
00:08:14What do we have here?
00:08:16Sleeping after a shift?
00:08:19Rise and shine, superstar.
00:08:20Superstar.
00:08:24Did I order a wake-up call?
00:08:27No, you didn't.
00:08:29But here's one anyway.
00:08:30You are fired!
00:08:35Are you serious?
00:08:36You're firing me?
00:08:37Do you need me to draw your diagram, doctor?
00:08:41Well, no.
00:08:42There must be some sort of mistake.
00:08:44You know, what's his position here?
00:08:46He's a new surgical resident, Mr. Bell.
00:08:51What's he make?
00:08:53$700,000.
00:08:55That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
00:08:57$700?
00:08:58Are you insane?
00:09:00You're giving resident money to a first-year who sleeps on the job?
00:09:03This hospital is being scammed.
00:09:05I just worked all night, okay?
00:09:08I'm just taking a nap.
00:09:09Also, now you're expecting overtime pay.
00:09:12Seen lazy doctors.
00:09:13This is criminal negligence.
00:09:16What were you thinking?
00:09:17Hiring this fraud.
00:09:18Are they as dumb as these hack surgeons, or this is some sort of insurance scam?
00:09:23Adrian and I might be sleeping together, but I can't let him drag me down.
00:09:28My career comes first.
00:09:30Boy, why?
00:09:31There must be some clerical error.
00:09:34These credentials.
00:09:36Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:09:39Fiona.
00:09:41Dr. Marksman.
00:09:44You are F-I-R-E-D fired.
00:09:49Clear out your office.
00:09:51Clear out your locker.
00:09:53Get the hell out of my hospital.
00:09:55This is a mistake, okay?
00:09:57You need to check the surgical lock.
00:09:58You don't get the print back, you're fine.
00:10:01I see.
00:10:09Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:10:12You don't understand.
00:10:13He's the one who...
00:10:14Didn't I fire you two already?
00:10:16Beat it.
00:10:18Vale is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:10:20Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:10:21Okay.
00:10:21I understand.
00:10:42Hospital politics.
00:10:44I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.
00:10:48Meet me in the lobby after your shift.
00:10:50I'll be waiting.
00:10:59You care to explain that little exchange?
00:11:02The board won't make this.
00:11:09Four attendings dismissed in one day.
00:11:11Patient care will suffer.
00:11:13Fear is a weapon, Fiona.
00:11:15I intend to wield it.
00:11:17Or perhaps you're more concerned with one surgeon in particular?
00:11:21Your little scam artist situation ship?
00:11:24No, Preston.
00:11:25He means nothing to me.
00:11:27Really.
00:11:28I have no personal stake in your staffing association.
00:11:29Just be clear about your future here.
00:11:33Do you want to be with the nobody collecting unemployment checks?
00:11:37Or the man who signs everyone's paychecks?
00:11:41Including yours.
00:11:43The man who signs everyone's paychecks?
00:11:45Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded, who's in charge around here?
00:12:00Hey, Dad.
00:12:01What's wrong?
00:12:02Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.
00:12:04She'll be okay, but I need you to take full control of the hospital.
00:12:09And Preston, there's something critical you need to know.
00:12:12Of course, what is it?
00:12:12That new surgeon, Dr. Marksman, whatever happens, make sure you take care of him.
00:12:19Dr. Marksman?
00:12:20Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired.
00:12:23Get out of my hospital.
00:12:25Christ.
00:12:26The resident I just fired?
00:12:29President?
00:12:30Are you there?
00:12:32Check the staff roster.
00:12:33Um, see if we have another Marksman working for us here.
00:12:38I had to back up the brakes truck to get him here.
00:12:41He's the surgeon who saved her mother's life, and he's pioneering our experimental surgery program.
00:12:48The hospital's reputation rests on his work.
00:12:51Ah, yes, I see now.
00:12:58There's another surgeon attending with that name.
00:13:02Dr. Marksman, pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
00:13:06Two-time Florence Nightingale, another recipient for medical excellence.
00:13:10Three-time Apex award winner for clinical research.
00:13:12Is this what you mean, Dad?
00:13:13That's our man.
00:13:15There's another surgeon with the same last name who's been a disaster for us.
00:13:18Negligent, lazy, you name it.
00:13:21Do me a favor, fire him.
00:13:24Already done, Dad.
00:13:25I fired his slacker ass this morning.
00:13:28Thank God.
00:13:29Almost thought I fired our star surgeon.
00:13:32Good work, son.
00:13:34I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
00:13:37Just, uh, just take care of Mom, all right?
00:13:39I got everything else under control.
00:13:48See?
00:13:49I told you that the slacker resident I fired was worthless.
00:13:52Now, about your career trajectory.
00:13:56Mr. Bale, sir.
00:13:58Can't you see I'm busy?
00:13:59Multiple trauma is incoming.
00:14:01Six-car pileup.
00:14:02You fired half our surgery team.
00:14:03What's your point?
00:14:04ER is crashing.
00:14:06We have no one left who can handle it.
00:14:07Give me the situation.
00:14:15Now.
00:14:16Six critical traumas, three more incoming.
00:14:19Multiple crush, injuries, arterial bleeds, sir.
00:14:22We're losing patients.
00:14:24What are our options?
00:14:26Maybe one solution?
00:14:27Well?
00:14:28Spit it out.
00:14:29Here marks me.
00:14:30He had four critical traumas alone last night.
00:14:32If we can get him back here.
00:14:34Marksman.
00:14:35Right, that's the man we need.
00:14:36Fiona, call him.
00:14:38Which Dr. Marksman should I?
00:14:40The genius surgeon.
00:14:41The one I didn't fire.
00:14:42Keep up.
00:14:43What the hell?
00:14:50What a little stuff go.
00:15:06Idiot left his research notes.
00:15:08Modified trauma protocol.
00:15:13Wait.
00:15:15This is revolutionary procedures.
00:15:19Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:15:25Hello?
00:15:26Dr. Marksman.
00:15:27Multiple critical traumas in ER.
00:15:29Customs are the else's if you can handle this crisis.
00:15:32It's a monster motion waiting.
00:15:34I'm on my way.
00:15:35Okay.
00:15:35Okay.
00:15:38With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.
00:15:42It'll make me department head.
00:15:45And I can finally make seven figures.
00:15:53Well?
00:15:54Dr. Marksman's on this way.
00:15:56Thank God.
00:15:56Now, about your loyalty.
00:16:10Adrian meant nothing.
00:16:12I was using him to advance my career.
00:16:14You're my future.
00:16:16That's my girl.
00:16:17Beyond the shift in an hour ago, the boss's son is up to something.
00:16:30To hell with this.
00:16:32I'm going up.
00:16:32Piece of shit.
00:16:52Get your hand on my girl.
00:16:56Oh, knock it off.
00:16:57Adrian, you mean to tell me that the brilliant surgeon can't see what's been happening under his own nose?
00:17:03You mean to tell me that you've been messing around with this incompetent nepo baby?
00:17:07I can choose who I want.
00:17:08And I don't want to display surgeon with no future.
00:17:11You pathetic loser.
00:17:12We're done, Adrian.
00:17:30Ancient history.
00:17:32Are you serious?
00:17:34Just like that.
00:17:36Sorry that this bomb knickled your jacket.
00:17:38Why are you doing this, Fiona?
00:17:43Am I just a stepping stone to you?
00:17:45I need someone with a future.
00:17:47Not someone who sleeps while patients are dying.
00:17:54Keep it for when you get lonely and horny.
00:17:57It's the closest you'll ever come to the real thing again.
00:18:02Look at us, Adrian.
00:18:05I'm the future of Vail Hospital, and you?
00:18:11Just a slacker.
00:18:13And scrubs.
00:18:14You're washed up, marksman.
00:18:16Perhaps try nursing?
00:18:18I hear they're always hiring.
00:18:21Fiona, I met you here, and it made me want to stay.
00:18:24I thought we could build a family together.
00:18:27Get over yourself.
00:18:29You think I'm going to stay with someone who'll write about their credentials?
00:18:32President Vail would never have hired someone who sleeps during shifts.
00:18:40We're done.
00:18:41I'm not done.
00:18:43But when I am, there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.
00:18:48You can count on that.
00:18:52I don't know.
00:18:53Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.
00:18:55Your troubles are just getting started.
00:18:57Who authorizes you to be here?
00:19:04Mr. Vail, I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision, we've stabilized all the patients from the multi-car accident, and the situation is completely under control.
00:19:13You're Dr. Marksman.
00:19:15Aye, it's the very same.
00:19:16My father mentioned your sexual credentials.
00:19:21Harvard Medical, father?
00:19:23These morons have no idea I'm taking credit for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.
00:19:29As long as the boss's son is impressed, I'll be chief of surgery by next month.
00:19:33Mr. Vail, I've identified who's responsible for all the issues in OR3 today.
00:19:39He was sleeping while the patient almost died on the table.
00:19:43Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
00:19:45Dr. Hart, incredible news.
00:19:57Dr. Adrian Melston, that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking, he's just been terminated from Vail Hospital.
00:20:04When?
00:20:05Less than an hour ago.
00:20:07Dismissed by President Vail's son.
00:20:10Huh?
00:20:11Amazing.
00:20:12I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face when he discovers that his prized surgeon was fired by his submental son.
00:20:21With our respect, we're still establishing our reputation.
00:20:25Would someone of Marksman's caliber even consider joining us?
00:20:29We'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:20:32Full department autonomy.
00:20:33Research funding.
00:20:36State-of-the-art facilities.
00:20:39And if necessary, my personal involvement.
00:20:44His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.
00:20:47Have my car brought round.
00:20:49I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.
00:20:52An atrium worksman.
00:20:54He's leaving with me.
00:20:55Oh, feasts?
00:21:03What kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:21:05Don't insult our intelligence.
00:21:07A patient coded while you were off taking a nap.
00:21:10The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental.
00:21:12Yet you stand there denying it.
00:21:13This is crazy.
00:21:15You've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon.
00:21:17And when a complication occurs, which happened in this hospital under your incompetent leadership,
00:21:24you blame me.
00:21:27The collective medical knowledge in this room isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.
00:21:32If you were even half the surgeon that you claimed to be, you would still have a job.
00:21:38I'm not going to stand here and debate medicine with you in front of Mr. Vail.
00:21:41Security, please detain him.
00:21:47What exactly are you accusing me of?
00:21:51Either confess to medical malfeasance or they'll escort you to the police for criminal negligence.
00:21:58Adrian, I never realized you were capable of endangering patients.
00:22:03What other medical atrocities have you committed?
00:22:05You better confess now or we'll do everything in your power to make sure you lose your medical license.
00:22:12Come on.
00:22:13Go ahead.
00:22:14Do your worst.
00:22:15Let's see if a single piece of evidence holds up in front of the medical ward.
00:22:21You really underestimate my family's influence, don't you?
00:22:26Don't you realize that Mr. Vail here can end your entire career with one phone call?
00:22:30Sir, I strongly recommend that we make an example out of him.
00:22:34After all, he'll be a danger to his patients wherever he goes.
00:22:37Kristen, you can't let him walk away after this.
00:22:40Not after what he did to our patients.
00:22:42I'm contacting the medical board right now.
00:22:46As of this moment, Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted from Vail Hospital and every medical institute in the country.
00:22:53Plan's in motion, Adrian.
00:22:55Do you know what that means?
00:22:57It means that you will never practice medicine in this country again.
00:23:01I have one question before I go.
00:23:06Did your father know you fired me?
00:23:09My father's the one who asked me to fire you, you dipshit.
00:23:14You thought you were some brilliant surgical god, didn't you?
00:23:18Security, remove this criminal from hospital property immediately.
00:23:22Immediately.
00:23:23It is hooked.
00:23:24And away, sir.
00:23:24That's quite enough.
00:23:40Let him go.
00:23:43Dr. Marksman is about to accept the physician as chief of surgical innovation at Heart Medical Center.
00:23:50I know you.
00:23:54You're Vivian Hart, the surgical upstart from that medical clinic across town.
00:23:59That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you, Mr. Vail.
00:24:03Vivian, I haven't seen you since the John Hopkins Symposium, like four or five years ago.
00:24:08What are you doing here?
00:24:10Well, I'm here for the most innovative surgeon in the country, of course.
00:24:13Wait, are you seriously suggesting this negligent doctor has value?
00:24:19He was sleeping during rounds.
00:24:22Is this how Vail Hospital discards its exceptional talent?
00:24:26Your father built this institution's reputation of medical excellence, not petty politics.
00:24:33Dr. Hart, with all due respect...
00:24:36This is a conversation between medical directors.
00:24:39Someone in your position should recognize when to maintain silence.
00:24:41Dr. Hart, I must inform you that Dr. Marksman represents a serious liability.
00:24:47He compromised patient safety and...
00:24:50I don't believe I requested your medical opinion, Dr. Marksman.
00:24:54David Marksman.
00:24:55I have neither time nor interest in your assessment.
00:24:58After he decided to go to sleep, we had a critical surgical complication.
00:25:06His negligence led to the problem.
00:25:08His actions not only endangered patients, it compromised my hospital's reputation.
00:25:14Are you really willing to defend someone who violates the Hippocratic Oath?
00:25:18Did you actually consult with your father before dismissing Dr. Marksman?
00:25:22Of course I consulted my father.
00:25:27He's the one who specifically mentioned his dangerous surgical shortcuts and inflated reputation.
00:25:33Dangerous shortcuts?
00:25:35Is that what President Vail really said?
00:25:37His exact words were, remove him at first opportunity.
00:25:41President Vail was the one that recruited me.
00:25:43This makes absolutely no sense.
00:25:44Please, Adrian, the President wouldn't personally recruit a mid-level surgeon like you.
00:25:50Those gala invitations were professional courtesy, not genuine respect.
00:25:56Well, if that's the way things work at Vail, I have nothing more to contribute to any of you.
00:26:01Dr. Marksman, would you consider joining Hart Medical Center as our chief of surgery?
00:26:07Well, I...
00:26:08Full department upon me.
00:26:11Protected research time.
00:26:12A surgical fellowship in your name.
00:26:14And a seven-figure salary package.
00:26:42Dr. Marksman, I want you to revolutionize our surgery program.
00:26:55Hopefully this shows you.
00:26:57I mean what I say.
00:27:05Chief of surgery?
00:27:06You're offering all this to a surgeon who can't even keep his eyes open on the job?
00:27:13Dr. Hart, have you completely lost your medical judgment or are you on drugs?
00:27:18This is absurd.
00:27:20He was a mediocre surgeon here at Vail.
00:27:22And now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department?
00:27:28Medical board should review your hiring practices.
00:27:30Vivian, I appreciate your confidence.
00:27:36This isn't about money.
00:27:40Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you.
00:27:44She's offering herself up to him.
00:27:46She can't do that.
00:27:48Are you a doctor or a call girl?
00:27:50At Hart Medical Center, you will be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves.
00:27:56Including a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value.
00:28:01And I didn't mean anything, Dr. Marksman.
00:28:03Dr. Hart, for the sake of your own reputation, you need to know that this hack you're so eagerly pursuing
00:28:13has a documented history of negligence.
00:28:16My father confirmed it himself.
00:28:18Is that precisely what Nelson Bale told you?
00:28:21His exact words.
00:28:24Negligence, Serge.
00:28:26What are those?
00:28:29Personal gifts from your father.
00:28:31My fellowship offer.
00:28:36My personal research lab.
00:28:38My surgical team.
00:28:40I'm leaving it all behind.
00:28:43You can tell President Bale that as of this moment, Dr. Marksman has permanently withdrawn
00:28:48from Bale Hospital and all of its affiliated institutions.
00:28:53You know what?
00:28:53Spare us the theatrics, Adrian.
00:28:55You never deserve those privileges in the first place.
00:28:58The medical board is going to see that justice is done.
00:29:02Oh, your stupidity.
00:29:05It's just astonishing.
00:29:07You treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels.
00:29:11This man is a life-saving artist.
00:29:14Dr. Hart, I understand there's some competition between your center and Bale Hospital.
00:29:23Yeah.
00:29:23Look, I'll be real.
00:29:25We're struggling to get out from under their shadow.
00:29:27I'd be happy to help you out with that.
00:29:30Take me on.
00:29:31And I'll transform Hart into the number one surgical institution in the country.
00:29:35Look at yourself, Adrian.
00:29:38Offering your skills to a struggling clinic.
00:29:41How pathetically desperate.
00:29:43Oh.
00:29:44A backstabbing bottom-leader like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his caliber.
00:29:50How dare you talk to me like that!
00:29:52Your malpractice has caused catastrophic damage to my hospital's reputation.
00:29:59As the responsible party, I demand that you issue a formal apology to one of the major medical journals.
00:30:05And with an explanation to every affected Bale Hospital patient.
00:30:11Refuse me, and I will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently.
00:30:16That accusation isn't just basis.
00:30:19It's absurd.
00:30:20What exactly do you think you're going to do about it?
00:30:23You've had no choice but to sign this confession.
00:30:25Oh, stop threatening my chief surgeon.
00:30:28If you insist on pursuing this vendetta, have your attorney send a formal complaint to Hart Medical Center.
00:30:34We'll consider it nothing less than a declaration of total war.
00:30:38If it's war you want, I will obliterate your dime store clinic with everything that I've got.
00:30:46Let's go.
00:30:47One more second and this cesspool's going to make me physically ill.
00:30:59Mr. Bale, don't you waste another precious moment on those secondary practitioners.
00:31:06David, you've proven your loyalty.
00:31:08The chief of surgery position is yours, affected immediately.
00:31:11This is, this is extraordinary.
00:31:15I, thank you.
00:31:16I, uh, I, I am honored beyond words.
00:31:21Don't forget about me, Preston.
00:31:24Don't worry, babe.
00:31:25You will be thoroughly compensated for your loyalty.
00:31:30How exciting.
00:31:32Mr. Bale, I swear on my medical oath that I will not disappoint you.
00:31:37Mr. Bale, a commuter train derailed six critical patients incoming.
00:31:42Dr. Marksman, OR1, now.
00:31:44Natural time to shine, Dr. Marksman.
00:31:46Shit, screwed.
00:31:48Adrian's surgical journal with all his proprietary techniques is still in my office.
00:31:52If Preston finds out I stole it and then couldn't even use it properly.
00:31:56I implemented a groundbreaking surgical protocol that I invented myself.
00:32:03These techniques are revolutionary.
00:32:05I'll walk you through it in detail after the emergency.
00:32:08It's impressive, Dr. Marksman.
00:32:10You've obviously got your own methodology.
00:32:12No need to bore me with the specifics.
00:32:14I trust your brilliance.
00:32:16Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:32:18With you leading my surgical team, I can focus on what really matters.
00:32:22Hospital expansion.
00:32:23Again, sir, I'm deeply honored.
00:32:33Behold, Bale Hospital's new chief of surgery.
00:32:37Let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now.
00:32:43Glad you're feeling better, honey.
00:32:45Yeah.
00:32:48Sorry, who's this?
00:32:49Nelson, Bale speaking.
00:32:54Nelson, Bale.
00:32:55Dr. Vivian Hart here.
00:32:57I'm calling to let you know that as of this morning, Hart Medical Center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena.
00:33:05Revolutionary surgical procedures are Bale Hospital's domain.
00:33:09Are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight?
00:33:12This is merely a professional courtesy call, not an invitation for debate.
00:33:17Now, just...
00:33:19What is that conniving bitch plotting?
00:33:26She knows Adrienne is our surgical secret weapon.
00:33:30Why would she deliberately provoke a medical war if she has absolutely no chance of winning?
00:33:39Unless...
00:33:40Dad, we've got multiple traumas coming in.
00:33:47Just tell me you didn't fire Dr. Marksman.
00:33:50Dad, relax.
00:33:52Fire the other one.
00:33:53An incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned.
00:33:55Can I explain to me why Hart Medical Center believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy?
00:34:03Because I astrophily led Vivian Hart into a false sense of reality.
00:34:09It's not way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures.
00:34:13I convinced Vivian that she's acquired surgical brilliance.
00:34:17But in reality, she's hired our disgraced, discarded loser.
00:34:21So you've deliberately manipulated Vivian?
00:34:23She thinks she's hired a genius behind Vail Hospital's groundbreaking procedures.
00:34:29That's why she had the audacity to declare war on you.
00:34:31Impressive, son.
00:34:33You're finally showing some of the leadership qualities.
00:34:35I've been waiting to see out of you.
00:34:37I think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division.
00:34:44Dad, this is everything I've worked for. Thank you.
00:34:48We get to work immediately.
00:34:49We're going to expose Hart Medical Center for the low-grade institution it truly is.
00:34:57Their humiliation will be quick and absolute.
00:35:01I won't let you down.
00:35:03Darling, surgical innovation is the future of Vail.
00:35:08Preston only got his MBA last year.
00:35:10Do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program?
00:35:14I would never take a risk like this if Preston was our only asset.
00:35:20Remember, we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon.
00:35:24You mean the surgeon that saved my life?
00:35:27Dr. Adrian Marksman.
00:35:29Exactly.
00:35:30And all I need to do is stay hands off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents.
00:35:38As long as Adrian is with Vail Hospital, Hart Medical Center has no chance of competing.
00:35:47Not only that, Vivian fell for Preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster,
00:35:53Dr. David Marksman.
00:35:55All we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble.
00:36:09So, now that you've seen the surgical department, what do you think?
00:36:15It's not bad.
00:36:17It's a small team, but they're talented.
00:36:19What you've built here, it's impressive, Viv.
00:36:22It's good to see you again after all these years, Adrian.
00:36:28Me too.
00:36:30We need to expand.
00:36:32It's too small for what I'm planning.
00:36:35Also, I heard you weren't the only surgeon Preston Vail fired.
00:36:45You have all the angles figured out, don't you?
00:36:47And I always find the best one.
00:36:48I don't know.
00:36:52I'm going to start recruiting.
00:37:00Good.
00:37:02The faster we rise, the more rewarding this partnership comes.
00:37:07This better be good.
00:37:22Mr. Vail, you wanted to see me?
00:37:25My father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department.
00:37:35Given your new position as chief of surgery, I'm appointing you head of innovation.
00:37:40Mr. Vail, I, uh...
00:37:42Is there an issue with that?
00:37:43No, absolutely not.
00:37:46The budget for innovation is astronomical.
00:37:48And President Vail has already handed control to his son?
00:37:52If I oversee these procedures, I can divert significant resources to my personal research.
00:37:58Mr. Vail, you can trust me completely.
00:38:01I am precisely the right man for the job.
00:38:03Preston, we have a catastrophe on our hands.
00:38:08Two attending surgeons just to make their resignations simultaneously.
00:38:11The department can't possibly maintain its...
00:38:13So, now that you've seen the surgical department...
00:38:21What do you think?
00:38:24It's not bad.
00:38:25Dad, relax.
00:38:31This better be good.
00:38:32Mr. Vail, you wanted to see me?
00:38:40My father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department.
00:38:46Given your new position as chief of surgery, appointing you head of innovation.
00:38:51Mr. Vail, I, uh...
00:38:53Is there an issue with that?
00:38:55Others punk, they were recruited by a former Vail physician.
00:38:57Along with the three other surgeons you've hired before.
00:38:59Former physician, Adrian Marksman.
00:39:02This has his saboteur signature all over it.
00:39:05What's our contingency plan?
00:39:07The surgical department is severely understaffed.
00:39:09If any more surgeons leave, patients will suffer.
00:39:12Okay, everybody.
00:39:13It's your name, Carl.
00:39:16You still have me.
00:39:18I can rebuild this department.
00:39:20Ah, yes.
00:39:21With your stellar reputation, we should be able to get the best of the best.
00:39:25Exactly.
00:39:26So we lost some second-rate talent.
00:39:29Let him go.
00:39:29I'll make some calls to Cedars-Sinai and UCLA.
00:39:36Good work, Archbishop.
00:39:41This is working out perfectly.
00:39:43Now I can install my own allies in key positions.
00:39:46Soon, I'll control the entire hospital's medical direction.
00:39:49It's an honor to be true, Dr. Hart.
00:40:14This is Dr. Parker here.
00:40:20He's a triple-board certified surgeon.
00:40:22And soon, he'll be the head of trauma surgery.
00:40:25This is Dr. Rhodes, Chen, Rose, and Thomas.
00:40:29All consonant professionals.
00:40:32My most trusted colleagues back at Vail.
00:40:36With this surgical team,
00:40:38Hart Medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country.
00:40:42Actually, the whole world.
00:40:45We're here to begin, Dr. Hart.
00:40:47Well, welcome to Hart Medical Center.
00:40:51I am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us,
00:40:55but I do need to be transparent.
00:40:58We have got considerable ground to cover
00:41:00before we can truly challenge Vail Hospital's dominance.
00:41:03Have no fear, Dr. Hart.
00:41:05With Adrian leading our team,
00:41:07we'll be three steps ahead of anything Vail attempts.
00:41:09Yes, but Vail has already implemented
00:41:12Adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols.
00:41:16Yeah, about that.
00:41:18It's a preliminary version.
00:41:19If they continue to develop this approach without modification...
00:41:22Then what?
00:41:23A lot of deaths,
00:41:25a lot of lawsuits,
00:41:26a lot of patients could be harmed.
00:41:28Or worse,
00:41:29these procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation
00:41:32without proper refinement.
00:41:33Those techniques require precise calibration
00:41:36and specialized training
00:41:38without that foundation.
00:41:40We're talking about serious complications,
00:41:43preventable harm.
00:41:44Our first priority has to be patient safety.
00:41:47We need to perfect these procedures,
00:41:49and then we can find a way to prevent Vail
00:41:51from continuing with the flawed protocols.
00:41:54Exactly.
00:41:55It's not about competition or pride.
00:41:57It's about saving lives.
00:41:58We're using our experience
00:42:02with the trial procedures I did at Vail
00:42:04to develop next-generation surgical techniques,
00:42:08eliminating all the previous complications
00:42:10and inefficiencies.
00:42:12Even if Vail Hospital analyzes
00:42:14our fundamental approach
00:42:15and attempts to create something new,
00:42:17we'll maintain our significant advantage.
00:42:20And if they stubbornly continue
00:42:22with their flawed protocols,
00:42:24rest assured,
00:42:26their outcomes will deteriorate.
00:42:28I don't wish it upon their patients,
00:42:29that's for sure.
00:42:31Remember this moment.
00:42:33In this battle for medical supremacy,
00:42:35Heart Medical Center
00:42:36will emerge victorious.
00:42:44It's 3 a.m.
00:42:47I'll strike a time again.
00:42:50You really, really liked me.
00:43:20Adrian, I've really, really liked you
00:43:22since residency.
00:43:24Nothing's changed.
00:43:26You were our most brilliant resident
00:43:28in the program.
00:43:29I never imagined someone like you
00:43:31would like me.
00:43:32There was never anyone else
00:43:33that got my attention.
00:43:35I'll meet you.
00:43:38But you were completely oblivious.
00:43:41And then you just
00:43:42banished from the program.
00:43:44Well, I left to join
00:43:45the Experimental Surgical Fellowship
00:43:47in Switzerland.
00:43:48I know.
00:43:51Your town was extraordinary
00:43:53even then.
00:43:55Back then,
00:43:56I made a promise to myself
00:43:57that we would work together
00:43:58again someday.
00:44:00You know,
00:44:00when I established
00:44:01Heart Medical Center,
00:44:03my first priority
00:44:04was recruiting you.
00:44:06But that manipulative tyrant,
00:44:09Nelson Bale,
00:44:10had already secured
00:44:11your contracts
00:44:12with ridiculous incentives.
00:44:15I understand now.
00:44:23So,
00:44:24should we
00:44:26pick up where we left off
00:44:28in residency?
00:44:29You're the boss.
00:44:31That's right.
00:44:31And as your boss,
00:44:34I say,
00:44:35come home with me.
00:44:37Tonight?
00:44:38You lost everything
00:44:39when Preston fired you.
00:44:40Hospital privileges,
00:44:43research funding,
00:44:45even your hospital
00:44:47subsidized apartment.
00:44:50You have literally
00:44:51nowhere else to come tonight.
00:44:54Come with me.
00:44:57Where?
00:44:58My place.
00:45:04Hmm.
00:45:08All right.
00:45:09I'll get it.
00:45:11That was the best
00:45:12meal I've had in months.
00:45:13Careful,
00:45:14Dr. Marksman.
00:45:15I might start thinking
00:45:17you're easy to please.
00:45:18That just depends
00:45:19on the company.
00:45:21Well,
00:45:21starting tonight,
00:45:23this is your new home.
00:45:25Until the program's
00:45:26fully established,
00:45:27should just
00:45:27make sense.
00:45:29Are you sure about that?
00:45:30You already work
00:45:31late hours.
00:45:33Living together
00:45:34could be complicated.
00:45:37Well,
00:45:37I like complicated.
00:45:39It keeps things
00:45:40interesting.
00:45:42And
00:45:42where exactly
00:45:44will I be sleeping?
00:45:45Well,
00:45:46my master suite
00:45:50has a
00:45:52California king.
00:45:54I
00:45:57need to
00:45:57grow.
00:45:58The things
00:45:59that I need
00:46:00to get
00:46:00are more
00:46:01collaborative.
00:46:04Really?
00:46:06Relax.
00:46:07I'm only teasing.
00:46:10Tonight,
00:46:10at least.
00:46:12Come on.
00:46:15I'll show you
00:46:16your room.
00:46:17unless you'd
00:46:19rather have
00:46:20a night cow
00:46:20than mine.
00:46:28Things
00:46:29could be
00:46:29dangerous.
00:46:35Is this
00:46:35pathetic attempt
00:46:36really the best
00:46:37that you can do?
00:46:37You are
00:46:42completely
00:46:43worthless
00:46:44as surgeons.
00:46:45Hunter Marksman,
00:46:46the
00:46:47experimental
00:46:47procedures
00:46:48we're trying
00:46:48to replicate
00:46:48are
00:46:49extraordinarily
00:46:50intricate.
00:46:51We need
00:46:51at least
00:46:51six months
00:46:52to properly
00:46:53mask out.
00:46:54Six months?
00:46:55You have
00:46:5672 hours.
00:46:57And I expect
00:46:58hourly updates
00:46:59on my desk.
00:47:00Sir,
00:47:00brushing these
00:47:01delicate procedures
00:47:02dramatically
00:47:04increases the
00:47:04possibility
00:47:05of potentially
00:47:06fatal
00:47:06complication
00:47:06three days
00:47:07and you
00:47:08don't get
00:47:08one hour
00:47:09more.
00:47:10Go.
00:47:11Go.
00:47:15Report,
00:47:16Dr. Marksman,
00:47:17of status.
00:47:18Excellent
00:47:19progress,
00:47:19Mr. Bale.
00:47:20We will be
00:47:20advancing to
00:47:21phase two
00:47:22implementation
00:47:23within three
00:47:24days.
00:47:24That's
00:47:25exactly what
00:47:25I wanted
00:47:25to hear.
00:47:27I knew my
00:47:27judgment
00:47:27appointing you
00:47:28was flawless.
00:47:34President,
00:47:35I need an
00:47:35update on
00:47:36the
00:47:36experimental
00:47:36surgery program.
00:47:38Everything's
00:47:39proceeding
00:47:39perfectly,
00:47:39Father.
00:47:40Outstanding.
00:47:41And this
00:47:41is done.
00:47:42I'll throw
00:47:43you a huge
00:47:44party to
00:47:44celebrate the
00:47:45launch.
00:47:46Your father
00:47:46must be so
00:47:47proud of you.
00:47:48Keep up
00:47:48the good
00:47:49work,
00:47:49Dr. Marksman.
00:47:50I'll make
00:47:51sure my
00:47:51father understands
00:47:52your invaluable
00:47:52contribution.

00:47:55shot.
00:47:56I said
00:47:56I'll be
00:47:56chief of
00:47:57surgery.
00:47:57With the
00:47:58right maneuvering,
00:47:58I can become
00:47:59the next chief
00:47:59medical officer

00:53:08what a surprise.
00:53:09Cut the
00:53:10bullshit,
00:53:10marksman.
00:53:11Are we on
00:53:12schedule or

00:53:14Of course.
00:53:15We're,
00:53:16we're just
00:53:17refining the
00:53:17final stages.
00:53:19Yeah,
00:53:20everything's
00:53:21under control.
00:53:22Good.
00:53:23There's a
00:53:23problem I

00:53:24from you.
00:53:25No cover-ups.
00:53:26Of course,
00:53:26sir.
00:53:29Mr.
00:53:30Pham.
00:53:30Not now.
00:53:31Go get me the
00:53:32latest performance
00:53:33reports.
00:53:33It's, uh,
00:53:38looks like
00:53:39Preston's
00:53:40growing a little
00:53:40cold on our
00:53:41lovely administrator
00:53:42here.
00:53:43Don't worry.
00:53:44When
00:53:45Preston makes
00:53:45me chief
00:53:46medical officer,
00:53:47I'm gonna need
00:53:48someone flexible
00:53:49in my corner.
00:53:51I respect the
00:53:52winning team,
00:53:52Dr.
00:53:53Marksman.
00:53:53Today,
00:54:01Vail Hospital
00:54:02officially launched
00:54:03its highly
00:54:03anticipated
00:54:04next generation
00:54:05surgical program.
00:54:07This cutting-edge
00:54:08approach to
00:54:08surgical care
00:54:09is being closely
00:54:10watched by the
00:54:11medical industry,
00:54:12especially as
00:54:13Heart Medical's
00:54:14competing program
00:54:15was released
00:54:15on the same day.
00:54:17The question now
00:54:18is who will
00:54:19define the
00:54:19future of
00:54:20surgery?
00:54:22Relax,
00:54:22Mr.
00:54:23Vail.
00:54:24Heart Medical
00:54:24doesn't stand
00:54:25a chance.
00:54:27I hope you're
00:54:28right.
00:54:29For your
00:54:30sake.
00:54:33Didn't you
00:54:33say that,
00:54:34uh,
00:54:35if the rollout
00:54:35went well,
00:54:36that you'd
00:54:36make me
00:54:37chief medical
00:54:38officer?
00:54:39It's not a
00:54:40success.
00:54:41Yet.
00:54:43Enjoy
00:54:44tonight's launch
00:54:45party.
00:54:46Because if our
00:54:46results don't
00:54:47outshine Heart
00:54:48medical,
00:54:48it'll be the
00:54:49last thing
00:54:49you have to
00:54:49celebrate for
00:54:50a long time.
00:55:02Dr.
00:55:03Hurt,
00:55:03we, um,
00:55:04have a
00:55:04problem.
00:55:06Vail Hospital's
00:55:07new surgical
00:55:08program launches
00:55:09today.
00:55:10That's
00:55:10soon?
00:55:11They're hosting
00:55:11a big celebration
00:55:13party tonight.
00:55:16It's a good
00:55:17thing we're
00:55:17ahead of
00:55:17and they're
00:55:20saying we're
00:55:20ready?
00:55:21Why would I
00:55:22lie?
00:55:23We've been
00:55:23tracking Vail's
00:55:24every move.
00:55:26Let them
00:55:26celebrate.
00:55:27It's just
00:55:27gonna backfire.
00:55:28How exactly
00:55:29does that work
00:55:30in our favor?
00:55:32Viv, do you
00:55:32remember what I
00:55:33told you when you
00:55:34first brought me
00:55:34here?
00:55:37Preston Vail's
00:55:38rushing this.
00:55:38He's desperate
00:55:39to be this to the
00:55:40market.
00:55:40And?
00:55:41Their model's
00:55:42flawed.
00:55:43If they keep
00:55:43moving forward
00:55:44without realizing
00:55:45their structural
00:55:45failure and
00:55:46their approach,
00:55:48we won't have
00:55:49to lift the
00:55:49damn finger.
00:55:50And what about
00:55:51when it falls
00:55:51apart?
00:55:52Then Heart
00:55:52Medical takes
00:55:53over as the
00:55:54future of modern
00:55:54surgery.
00:55:56So you're
00:55:57saying that
00:55:58Vail Hospital
00:55:58has been
00:55:59refining the
00:56:00prototype
00:56:00surgical method
00:56:01that you
00:56:01designed?
00:56:02It's the only
00:56:02way they could
00:56:03have gotten
00:56:03this far
00:56:04this fast.
00:56:05They're usually
00:56:05an early draft
00:56:06full of mistakes
00:56:08that I won't
00:56:08make again.
00:56:10They don't even
00:56:10realize the cracks
00:56:11in the foundation.
00:56:13That actually
00:56:14makes perfect
00:56:15sense.

00:59:17revolutionary
00:59:17surgical program.
00:59:19What the fuck?
00:59:35You're my date
00:59:35and you're wasted.
00:59:37I'm sure you have
00:59:38plenty of other dates
00:59:39to accompany you.
00:59:40Yeah.
00:59:40God knows why
00:59:41I chose you,
00:59:42but I did.
00:59:43So trying to keep
00:59:43your job
00:59:44and your status
00:59:45sober up,
00:59:46for God's sakes.
01:00:05Did he just
01:00:06wander in
01:00:07from the janitor's lounge?
01:00:08It's giving
01:00:09orderly sheep.
01:00:11He's here
01:00:14to bust tables.
01:00:17What were you doing
01:00:18at our launch party?
01:00:19You weren't invited.
01:00:20You're so sure
01:00:20about that?
01:00:21I mean,
01:00:21look at you.
01:00:22This is a black tie.
01:00:24I mean,
01:00:24not that I'd expect
01:00:25you to know
01:00:25what that actually is.
01:00:28Look who
01:00:29crawled in
01:00:30from the gutter.
01:00:31The found
01:00:32surgeon.
01:00:33The fraud.
01:00:35The nobody.
01:00:36Showed up
01:00:37to my party
01:00:38in beardy scrubs,
01:00:39Marksman.
01:00:40I thought I told
01:00:40the security
01:00:41to keep out
01:00:41the criminals
01:00:42and the low lives.
01:00:43Guess you need
01:00:43to fire them, too.
01:00:45Pardon me,
01:00:45I just came
01:00:46straight from surgery.
01:00:47Because some of us
01:00:48here are real surgeons.
01:00:50What are you
01:00:50trying to say?
01:00:51I'm saying
01:00:52that the failed surgeon,
01:00:53the fraud,
01:00:55the nobody,
01:00:57isn't me.
01:01:00I can't have him
01:01:01expose me
01:01:02in front of
01:01:02all these people.
01:01:04I've got some nerve
01:01:05talking to my man
01:01:06Marksman like that.
01:01:07A genius like him
01:01:09leading our
01:01:09surgical team,
01:01:11you won't be able
01:01:11to get anywhere
01:01:12near our next party.
01:01:13Yeah, because
01:01:14it'll happen in prison
01:01:15when you're all
01:01:16arrested for medical
01:01:17malpractice,
01:01:18criminal negligence,
01:01:20and identity theft.
01:01:22What are you
01:01:23talking about?
01:01:25Identity theft?
01:01:27Whose identity
01:01:27would we possibly
01:01:28be stealing?
01:01:29Yours?
01:01:30Give you a little
01:01:31bit of advice,
01:01:32Marksman.
01:01:33If you don't
01:01:34got it,
01:01:35just act like you do.
01:01:36Speaking from
01:01:37experience.
01:01:39Look around you.
01:01:41This is the elite
01:01:43among the elite.
01:01:44The best of the best
01:01:45in the medical field.
01:01:46Just because you
01:01:47waltz in here
01:01:48and you're dirty
01:01:48chief scrubs,
01:01:49doesn't make you
01:01:50one of us.
01:01:51Good.
01:01:51I'm glad.
01:01:52Because you're
01:01:53all beneath me.
01:01:55Isn't that right,
01:01:56Dr. Marksman?
01:01:58That's enough.
01:01:58Guards?
01:01:59This former employee
01:02:01is threatening us.
01:02:03Take him out.
01:02:05Touch me
01:02:05and you'll regret it.
01:02:08I'm here tonight
01:02:09with a very
01:02:10important guest.

01:04:08right now.
01:04:10I can't blow my cover,
01:04:11but...
01:04:12What if I kill him?
01:04:14I don't know anything
01:04:15about surgeries.
01:04:17I don't even know
01:04:17what's wrong with them.

01:06:18waiting for yourself soon, Dr. PJs
01:06:21say, hey, why don't you come back
01:06:23when you've actually saved a life
01:06:24that procedure, David Hughes
01:06:30I invented it
01:06:32what kind of crack are you smoking?
01:06:35it's delusional
01:06:36somebody seriously check this guy's medical license
01:06:40the notebook he used to save your father

01:06:43my handwriting
01:06:45my theories
01:06:47you're just pissed
01:06:49you're just pissed because he did
01:06:50what you couldn't
01:06:51I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories
01:06:54as innovation
01:06:55but when it fails
01:06:56then it will
01:06:59you're not the ones that'll pay for it
01:07:02the patients will
01:07:03you can't prove that
01:07:05not yet
01:07:06she can't fake medicine
01:07:09medicine and science
01:07:12always tell the truth
01:07:14our theories
01:07:17we've got uncontrolled bleeding
01:07:19second patient today
01:07:21same issue
01:07:21vessel ligation failed
01:07:23mid-operation
01:07:24these techniques aren't viable
01:07:26the veil method
01:07:27doesn't hold under stress
01:07:28I mean, come on
01:07:30tonight proves it
01:07:31we're ahead of every surgical institute in the country
01:07:34we're right back
01:07:44just coordinating with the team
01:07:45talk to me
01:07:49the vascular bundle
01:07:50have maneuver failed again
01:07:52this is the second patient
01:07:53cleaning out tonight
01:07:54use the compression step
01:07:58that only works in control scenarios
01:08:00we told you these procedures
01:08:02weren't fully tested
01:08:03look, just follow the notes
01:08:06I designed those techniques for 101 pilots
01:08:12not mass implementation
01:08:14without calibration
01:08:16it's unstable
01:08:18it's dangerous
01:08:19they tried to commercialize your success without you
01:08:22now people are paying for it
01:08:25all good?
01:08:27of course
01:08:28just routine coordination
01:08:30routine coordination doesn't usually include
01:08:33blood loss
01:08:34your surgical program is failing
01:08:36patients are suffering
01:08:37you've been out of the field for months
01:08:39you wouldn't know
01:08:40yeah, I would know
01:08:41because the procedures that you're butchering
01:08:44I invented
01:08:45and I'm the only one in this room
01:08:47who can fix the mess that you made
01:08:48in your surgical way
01:08:49oh shit
01:08:51oh yes, this is Dr. Marksman
01:08:58connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately
01:09:02okay, listen very carefully
01:09:05your patient OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging
01:09:10because the vascular bundle clamp technique
01:09:12was improperly executed
01:09:14no, you need to perform a Marksman modified Pringle maneuver
01:09:18with selective hepatic arterial ligation
01:09:20followed by a rapid sequence vascular anatomosis
01:09:24using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures
01:09:27yes
01:09:29yes
01:09:31I don't even know he made a phone call
01:09:36this whole thing is performance
01:09:38charade
01:09:39you stole his methods
01:09:40this entire launch party
01:09:43is built upon stolen work and guesswork
01:09:46uh, that's a lie
01:09:47didn't prove me wrong
01:09:48show them all a technique that I didn't create
01:09:51why would you believe anything he says?
01:09:57you was fired
01:09:58humiliated
01:09:59you're right, I was fired
01:10:01the same procedures I pioneered were renamed
01:10:03and sold back to the board as revolutionary
01:10:06no, you know what?
01:10:07this is pathetic
01:10:08he's just jealous
01:10:10he missed his shot
01:10:11is that what you told yourself?
01:10:13when you snuck back into my office
01:10:15and stole my surgical journal?
01:10:16even if that were true
01:10:18this isn't the time or the place
01:10:21I think it's exactly the time and place
01:10:24I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator
01:10:38and thanks to Adrian's guidance
01:10:40our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients
01:10:44Adrian just cleaned up your mess
01:10:48you took this good man's techniques that weren't ready
01:10:51and you fired him
01:10:52the one person who could make them safe
01:10:55dad? you don't see the full picture here
01:11:00oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well
01:11:03this hospital was built on trust
01:11:05and integrity
01:11:06and you've disgraced them both
01:11:08your father nearly died because of your ego
01:11:12because of his lies
01:11:14you saved me
01:11:17you saved Nelson
01:11:19and now
01:11:20you can save Vale
01:11:22I tried to warn you all
01:11:24no one listened
01:11:26they're listening now
01:11:27you deserve to be at Vale
01:11:30more than either of those two
01:11:32and probably even more than me
01:11:34it was a mistake to let you go
01:11:37months ago I was fired from Vale Hospital
01:11:41the procedure still in development
01:11:43they weren't ready
01:11:45they needed supervision
01:11:46precision
01:11:48development
01:11:50instead someone took my notes
01:11:52and tried to fast track them for glory
01:11:54oh
01:11:55you can't prove that
01:11:56security footage
01:11:58of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital
01:12:04already submitted to the board
01:12:07I built on what he started
01:12:10okay
01:12:11I didn't steal
01:12:13I enhanced it
01:12:15and why were patients about to die
01:12:17he falsified rollout readiness
01:12:20he did more than that
01:12:22he put lies at risk
01:12:24to prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program
01:12:28we're going to need to open a formal investigation on this
01:12:31this is absurd
01:12:33this was supposed to be our light
01:12:35oh it's your night
01:12:36it's just not the way you thought it'd be
01:12:39you lied to me
01:12:41I didn't lie
01:12:42I simplified the truth
01:12:44simplify
01:12:45simplify
01:12:47you could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people
01:12:51you nearly killed the president of the hospital
01:12:54you passed up experimental procedures as launch ready
01:12:57that's malpractice
01:12:59they worked
01:13:00Nelson's alive
01:13:01the patients they're alive
01:13:03yeah because of me
01:13:04those methods require sequential tensioning
01:13:07breath control
01:13:08special clamp techniques
01:13:10getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death
01:13:12wait
01:13:13these really are your techniques
01:13:15I tested them for years
01:13:18it was never meant for mass rollouts
01:13:20not without training
01:13:22you're rewriting history
01:13:24no
01:13:24you tried to erase him from it
01:13:26Adrian Marksman
01:13:28was the reason that Bale's program had a future
01:13:31and without him
01:13:32it won't
01:13:33this is absurd
01:13:35you're siding with this disgraced former resident
01:13:38he's not disgraced son
01:13:40you aren't
01:13:42you hijacked a program you didn't understand
01:13:45and then when your ego wasn't enough
01:13:48you propped up this fraud
01:13:51taking a side dad
01:13:54I'm your son
01:13:56I'm taking the side of truth
01:13:58and stole the board
01:14:00you will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning
01:14:03until then both of you are suspended from all surgical and administrative use
01:14:08duties
01:14:08suspended
01:14:09oh no you can't do that
01:14:10you don't understand the politics of running a hospital
01:14:13we understand the liability
01:14:14that's enough
01:14:15Mr. Preston Dale
01:14:19Dr. David Marksman
01:14:21come with us
01:14:23dad
01:14:24you're not going to let him drag me out
01:14:25I'm your son
01:14:26no
01:14:27don't you touch me
01:14:28you're not a child
01:14:29hey
01:14:30dad
01:14:31you're not a child
01:14:31you're not a child
01:14:32you're not a child
01:14:35get out my responsibility
01:14:36You're not my responsibility.
01:14:47Jan, please.
01:14:48I made a mistake.
01:14:49I see that now.
01:14:50I should have believed in you.
01:14:52I should have stood by you.
01:14:54You were right about everything.
01:14:59Just give me a second chance.
01:15:02Please.
01:15:03Because I love you.
01:15:06Love, you traded him the second someone flashier walked by.
01:15:10You don't understand.
01:15:13I thought he was finished.
01:15:15I thought he had nothing left.
01:15:17So you sold him out.
01:15:19Mocked him.
01:15:20Over and over again.
01:15:23I was scared.
01:15:24I didn't know what to do.
01:15:26Oh, you knew.
01:15:27You just didn't care.
01:15:29Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser.
01:15:33Please.
01:15:35Say something.
01:15:36Anything.
01:15:39You had your chance, Fiona.
01:15:41And you spent it holding Preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive.
01:15:44You always belonged in my operating room.
01:15:56And I should have fought harder to keep you if I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes.
01:16:02The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board, and David will never go near another patient again.
01:16:10We're rebuilding.
01:16:11We're rebuilding.
01:16:12And I want you back as Vale's chief of experimental surgery.
01:16:20I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.
01:16:21Well, you had your chance, too.
01:16:24I'm not the same man that you fired.
01:16:26All the more reason we need you back at Vale.
01:16:31Adrian 2.0.
01:16:32I'm not coming back.
01:16:34You're choosing her?
01:16:38Our rival?
01:16:39You arrogant little ingrate.
01:16:42I open the door for you, and you slam it in my face.
01:16:46It's just typical.
01:16:47Just when you had your moment, you turned your back on it for, for what, her?
01:16:54She's just going to use you up and cost you aside like everyone else.
01:16:58Oh, rejecting much, Nelson.
01:17:01Get me out of here.
01:17:03Now!
01:17:03Now!
01:17:12Eva!
01:17:17Corma, how's good timing?
01:17:25Speaking of timing, you should get back to work.
01:17:29We have lives to save.
01:17:30Hey!
01:17:32Not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.
01:17:36I still owe you that extra special bonus.
01:17:42Now?
01:17:43I'm just going to have my present.
01:17:47This is what good joy tastes like.
01:17:55It's not bad.
01:17:57I need a second opinion.
01:18:01Well, I've slept all night.
01:18:02And you're not leaving this room until I properly celebrated my genius surgeon.
01:18:08Should I be afraid of a performance review?
01:18:11You're already exceeding expectations.
01:18:14But I am very thorough.
01:18:16Getting fired was the best thing I ever had with me.
01:18:28Besides meeting you, of course.
01:18:29I'm not leaving this room until I'm going to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to
