00:00:00A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city,
00:00:05sending 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,
00:00:15their 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.
00:00:25Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding.
00:00:28Well, I can't leave this one. Where's Dr. Stevens?
00:00:31We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the ER.
00:00:50Need a hand?
00:00:52A 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?
00:00:59The patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:01Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman. The 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.
00:01:17Medicine bomb scissors.
00:01:19Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:23That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive.
00:01:25Bovey cautery.
00:01:26Watch.
00:01:27He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:29The bleeding?
00:01:30It's under control.
00:01:31But how did he...?
00:01:32Tilt suture.
00:01:36Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:01:42I've never seen anything like this.
00:01:43Almost done.
00:01:44I've never seen anything like this.
00:01:45Almost done.
00:01:49Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:02:01I've never seen anything like this.
00:02:04Almost done.
00:02:13This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:19Jesus, Adrian.
00:02:25What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:02:28I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but that, that 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, I heard President Bale personally recruited a medical prodigy who revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.
00:02:46Is that you?
00:02:49Final suture.
00:02:56Miss Bale's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:03:02Doctor.
00:03:03The nurses, they said you did it, and you, you actually did.
00:03:14Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.
00:03:17Every surgeon on the West Coast said it was inoperable, that she only had weeks to live, but you, you saved my Catherine.
00:03:25She'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 that need specialized procedures.
00:03:40It's going to take hours.
00:03:42Y'all should go home, get some rest.
00:03:44I'll take over from here.
00:03:46Okay.
00:03:48Good work, everyone.
00:03:49Good work, everyone.
00:03:49Good work, everybody.
00:04:19They're all stable.
00:04:23Every single one of them, stabilized.
00:04:29Oh, sun's coming up.
00:04:32You must have operated all night.
00:04:34You're a machine.
00:04:36Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
00:04:37All right.
00:04:40It's time for some much-needed shadow.
00:04:57Hey, you.
00:05:01Hey, yourself.
00:05:02I've been operating all night.
00:05:06I saved every single patient in that pileup.
00:05:10What you did was extraordinary.
00:05:12How do you always know exactly what I needed?
00:05:16Because I know you.
00:05:18Better than anyone.
00:05:19You remembered.
00:05:25Blueberry.
00:05:26Your favorite?
00:05:28You remembered.
00:05:30Where's your dad?
00:05:31You know, I've been thinking lately about us.
00:05:34I know it's only been a month, but it just feels different.
00:05:49It's the third time this week.
00:05:51Hospital food's better than someone else's.
00:05:53Hmm.
00:05:53So, who's the smart skin guy?
00:05:57His surgical skills are unreal.
00:05:58Sure.
00:05:59I thought he was just another new hire.
00:06:01I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:06:04With a talent like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department right now.
00:06:15What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?
00:06:17Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.
00:06:21Who is this guy?
00:06:26Preston Bale, Preston Bale's son, Harvard MBA.
00:06:29He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife,
00:06:33who just recovered from an experimental pancreatic duodenectomy.
00:06:37I'm sorry, am I looking at two board-certified surgeons or med school dropouts?
00:06:44Hard to tell based on your behavior.
00:06:46Sir, about that...
00:06:47Save it!
00:06:49Parker.
00:06:50Parker, you couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:06:54You're fired.
00:06:56Clear out your office.
00:06:57New management means new standards.
00:07:00It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.
00:07:05Attention.
00:07:07Need everybody's attention now.
00:07:09Now, if you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs, every surgery must be perfect.
00:07:15No complications, no deaths.
00:07:18This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:07:22Who's he thinking is, Dr. House?
00:07:24What is this?
00:07:27Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:07:30Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:07:33This is a hospital.
00:07:36We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
00:07:41That was from my residency direction.
00:07:43Oh, cry me, a river.
00:07:44Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients, and a little less time collecting gold stars, you'd be a real doctor.
00:07:52You're fired.
00:07:53Excuse me?
00:07:54Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop, just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.
00:07:58Yes, sir.
00:08:00Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?
00:08:04That was good.
00:08:05Let's go.
00:08:10Well, well, well.
00:08:12What do we have here?
00:08:14Sleeping after a shift?
00:08:17Rise and shine, superstar.
00:08:23Did I order a wake-up call?
00:08:25No, you didn't.
00:08:27But here's one anyway.
00:08:28You are fired.
00:08:33Are you serious?
00:08:34You're firing me?
00:08:36Do you need me to draw you a diagram, doctor?
00:08:39Well, no, but there must be some sort of mistake.
00:08:42Fiona, what's his position here?
00:08:44He's a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.
00:08:50What's he make?
00:08:51$700,000.
00:08:53That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
00:08:55$700?
00:08:57Are you insane?
00:08:58You're giving resident money to a first-year who sleeps on the job?
00:09:01This hospital is being scammed.
00:09:04I just worked all night.
00:09:06Okay, I'm just taking a nap.
00:09:07Oh, so now you're expecting overtime pay?
00:09:10I've seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.
00:09:13What were you thinking?
00:09:14What were you thinking hiring this fraud?
00:09:16Are you as dumb as these hack surgeons, or this is some sort of insurance scam?
00:09:22Adrian and I might be sleeping together, but I can't let him drag me down.
00:09:26My career comes first.
00:09:28Boy, bye.
00:09:29There must be some clerical error.
00:09:32His credentials.
00:09:34Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:09:37Fiona?
00:09:40Dr. Marksman.
00:09:41You are F-I-R-E-D.
00:09:46Fired.
00:09:47Clear out your office.
00:09:49Clear out your locker.
00:09:51Or get the hell out of my hospital.
00:09:53This is a mistake, okay?
00:09:55You need to check the surgical lock.
00:09:56You don't get to wear that.
00:09:57What?
00:09:57I see.
00:10:07Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:10:10You don't understand.
00:10:11He's the one who...
00:10:12Didn't I fire you two already?
00:10:15Beat it.
00:10:16Vale is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:10:18Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:10:27I understand.
00:10:40Hospital politics.
00:10:42Look, I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.
00:10:46Meet me in the lobby after your shift.
00:10:49I'll be waiting.
00:10:57You care to explain that little exchange?
00:11:05The board won't like this.
00:11:07Four attendings dismissed in one day.
00:11:09Patient care will suffer.
00:11:11Fear is a weapon, Fiona.
00:11:13I intend to wield it.
00:11:15Or perhaps you're more concerned with one surgeon in particular.
00:11:19Your little scam artist situation ship.
00:11:22No, Preston.
00:11:23He means nothing to me.
00:11:25Really.
00:11:25I have no personal stake in your staffing decision.
00:11:27Let's be clear about your future here.
00:11:31Do you want to be with the nobody collecting unemployment checks?
00:11:35Or the man who signs everyone's paychecks, including yours?
00:11:41The man who signs everyone's paychecks.
00:11:45Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded who's in charge around here.
00:11:52Hey, Dad.
00:11:53What's wrong?
00:11:54Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.
00:11:56She'll be okay.
00:11:58And Preston, there's something critical you need to know.
00:12:00Dr. Marksman, whatever happens, make sure you take care of him.
00:12:05Dr. Marksman?
00:12:06Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired.
00:12:09Didn't I just fired?
00:12:11Preston?
00:12:13Are you there?
00:12:15Check the staff roster.
00:12:16See if we have another Marksman.
00:12:18I had to back up the brakes truck to get him here.
00:12:22He's the surgeon who saved your mother's life.
00:12:24And he's...
00:12:25The hospital's reputation rests on...
00:12:28Ah, yes, I see now.
00:12:32There's another surgeon attending with that name.
00:12:35Dr. Marksman, pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
00:12:39Research is this who you mean, Dad?
00:12:41That's our man.
00:12:42...for us.
00:12:44Negligent, lazy, you name it.
00:12:46Already done, Dad.
00:12:47I fired his slacker.
00:12:48I fired our star surgeon.
00:12:50Good work, son.
00:12:52I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
00:12:56Just, uh, just take care...
00:13:03See?
00:13:04Told you that slacker resident I fired...
00:13:06...tubal trauma's incoming.
00:13:07The six-car pileup.
00:13:08You fired half our surgery team.
00:13:10What's your point?
00:13:11ER is crashing.
00:13:13We've no one left who can handle it.
00:13:17Give me the situation.
00:13:21There's three more incoming.
00:13:23Multiple crush injuries.
00:13:25Arterial bleed, sir.
00:13:26We're losing patients.
00:13:28What are our options?
00:13:29There might be one solution.
00:13:31Well, spit it out.
00:13:33Dr. Marksman.
00:13:34He handled four critical traumas alone last night.
00:13:36If we can get him back here...
00:13:38Marksman.
00:13:39Right.
00:13:39I didn't fire.
00:13:40Keep up.
00:13:47Idiot left his research notes.
00:13:55Mmm.
00:13:56Modified trauma protocol.
00:13:59Wait.
00:14:00Well says if you can handle this crisis...
00:14:02There's a monster promotion waiting.
00:14:04I'm on my way.
00:14:07They'll make me department head.
00:14:09And I can finally make seven figures.
00:14:14Well?
00:14:24Now, about your loyalty.
00:14:28Adrian meant nothing.
00:14:30I was using him to advance my career.
00:14:33You're my future.
00:14:34That's my girl.
00:14:35Well?
00:14:39The boss's son is up to something.
00:14:49To hell with this.
00:14:50I'm going up.
00:15:06Piece of shit!
00:15:09Get your hand off my girl!
00:15:14Oh, just knock it off, Adrian!
00:15:17You mean to tell me that the brilliant surgeon can't see what's been happening under his own nose?
00:15:22You mean to tell me that you've been messing around with this incompetent nepo baby?
00:15:25I can choose who I want.
00:15:27And I don't want to disgrace surgeon with no future.
00:15:29You pathetic loser.
00:15:31Come on.
00:15:46Good job.
00:15:47We're done, Adrian.
00:15:49Ancient history.
00:15:50Are you serious?
00:15:53Just like that.
00:15:55Sorry that this bum wrinkled your jacket, sir.
00:16:00Why are you doing this, Fiona?
00:16:02Am I just a stepping stone to you?
00:16:04I need someone with a future, not someone who sleeps while patients are dying.
00:16:12Keep it for when you get lonely and horny.
00:16:15It's the closest you'll ever come to the real thing again.
00:16:20Oh, look at us, Adrian.
00:16:24I'm the future of Vail Hospital, and you?
00:16:30Just a slacker and scrubs.
00:16:33You're washed up, marksman.
00:16:35Perhaps try nursing?
00:16:36I hear they're always hiring.
00:16:39Fiona, I met you here, and it made me want to stay.
00:16:42I thought we could build a family together.
00:16:46Get over yourself.
00:16:47You think I'm going to stay with someone who lied about their credentials?
00:16:52President Vail would never have hired someone who sleeps during shifts.
00:16:58We're done.
00:17:00I'm not done.
00:17:02But when I am, there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.
00:17:07You can count on that.
00:17:08No, no, no, no.
00:17:12Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.
00:17:14Your troubles are just getting started.
00:17:20Who authorized you to be here?
00:17:22Mr. Vail, I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision,
00:17:25we've stabilized all the patients from the multi-car accident,
00:17:29and the situation is completely under control.
00:17:31You're Dr. Marksman.
00:17:34Ah, yes, the very same.
00:17:35My father mentioned your exceptional credentials.
00:17:39Harvard Medical, was it?
00:17:41These morons have no idea I'm taking credit for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.
00:17:47As long as the boss's son is impressed,
00:17:49I'll be chief of surgery by next month.
00:17:51Mr. Vail, I've identified who's responsible for all the issues in OR3 today.
00:17:56He was sleeping, while the patient almost died on the table.
00:18:01Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
00:18:11Dr. Hart.
00:18:13Incredible news.
00:18:15Dr. Adrian Marksman, that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking,
00:18:19he's just been terminated from Vail Hospital.
00:18:22When?
00:18:23Less than an hour ago.
00:18:24Dismissed by President Vail's son.
00:18:28Oh!
00:18:30Amazing.
00:18:31I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face when he discovers that his price surgeon
00:18:36was fired by his submental son.
00:18:39With, uh, respect, we're still establishing our reputation.
00:18:43Would someone of Marksman's caliber even consider joining us?
00:18:47We'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:18:49Full department autonomy.
00:18:51Full department autonomy.
00:18:52Research funding.
00:18:54State-of-the-art facilities.
00:18:57And if necessary,
00:18:58my personal involvement.
00:19:02His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.
00:19:05Have my car brought round.
00:19:07I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.
00:19:10And Adrian Marksman?
00:19:12He's leaving with me.
00:19:14Malfeasance.
00:19:21What kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:19:23No, don't insult our intelligence.
00:19:25A patient coded while you were off taking a nap.
00:19:28The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental.
00:19:30Yet you stand there denying it.
00:19:31This is crazy.
00:19:33You've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon.
00:19:36And when a complication occurs,
00:19:37which happened in this hospital under your incompetent leadership,
00:19:42you blame me.
00:19:45The collective medical knowledge in this room
00:19:47isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.
00:19:50If you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be,
00:19:53you would still have a job.
00:19:56I'm not going to stand here and debate medicine with you in front of Mr. Vail.
00:19:59Security, please detain him.
00:20:01What exactly are you accusing me of?
00:20:09Either confess to medical malfeasance
00:20:12or they'll escort you to the police for criminal negligence.
00:20:16Adrian, I never realized you were capable of endangering patients.
00:20:21What other medical atrocities have you committed?
00:20:23You better confess now,
00:20:24or we'll do that by giving you the power
00:20:26to make sure you lose your medical license.
00:20:29Fine.
00:20:30Go ahead.
00:20:32Do your worst.
00:20:34Let's see if a single piece of evidence holds up in front of the medical board.
00:20:37You really underestimate my family's influence, don't you?
00:20:44Don't you realize that Mr. Vail here can end your entire career with one phone call?
00:20:48Sir, I strongly recommend that we make an example out of him.
00:20:52After all, he'll be a danger to his patients wherever he goes.
00:20:55Kristen, you can't let him walk away after this.
00:20:58Not after what he did to our patients.
00:21:00I'm contacting the medical board right now.
00:21:04As of this moment, Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted from Vail Hospital
00:21:08and every medical institute in the country.
00:21:11Plans in motion, Adrian.
00:21:13Do you know what that means?
00:21:15It means that you will never practice medicine in this country again.
00:21:19I have one question before I go.
00:21:24Does your father know you fired me?
00:21:27My father's the one who asked me to fire you, you dipshit.
00:21:29You thought you were some brilliant surgical god, didn't you?
00:21:36Security, remove this criminal from hospital property immediately.
00:21:40Immediately.
00:21:41Yes, doctor.
00:21:42Right away, sir.
00:21:45That's quite enough.
00:21:46Let him go.
00:22:01Dr. Marksman is about to accept the position
00:22:04as chief of surgical innovation at Hart Medical Center.
00:22:10I know you.
00:22:12You're Vivian Hart,
00:22:13the surgical upstart from that medical clinic across town.
00:22:16That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you, Mr. Vail.
00:22:21Vivian, I haven't seen you since the John Hopkins Symposium,
00:22:24like four or five years ago.
00:22:26What are you doing here?
00:22:27Well, I'm here for the most innovative surgeon in the country, of course.
00:22:32Wait.
00:22:33Are you seriously suggesting this negligent doctor has value?
00:22:37He was sleeping during rounds.
00:22:39Is this how Vail Hospital discards its exceptional talent?
00:22:44Your father built this institution's reputation
00:22:46of medical excellence, not petty politics.
00:22:51Dr. Hart, with all due respect...
00:22:54This is a conversation between medical directors.
00:22:56Someone in your position should recognize when to maintain silence.
00:23:00Dr. Hart, I must inform you that Dr. Marksman represents a serious liability.
00:23:05He compromised patient safety and...
00:23:08I don't believe I requested your medical opinion, Dr...
00:23:11Marksman.
00:23:12David Marksman.
00:23:13I have neither time nor interest in your assessment.
00:23:18After he decided to go to sleep, we had a critical surgical complication.
00:23:23His negligence led to the problem.
00:23:26His actions not only endangered patients, it compromised my hospital's reputation.
00:23:30Are you really willing to defend someone who violates the Hippocratic Oath?
00:23:36Did you actually consult with your father before dismissing Dr. Marksman?
00:23:41Of course I consulted my father.
00:23:44He's the one who specifically mentioned his dangerous surgical shortcuts and inflated reputation.
00:23:50Dangerous shortcuts?
00:23:51Is that what President Vail really said?
00:23:55His exact words were, remove him at first opportunity.
00:23:59President Vail was the one that recruited me.
00:24:00This makes absolutely no sense.
00:24:02Please, Adrian.
00:24:03The President wouldn't personally recruit a mid-level surgeon like you.
00:24:08Those gala invitations were professional courtesy, not genuine respect.
00:24:13Well, if that's the way things work at Vail, I have nothing more to contribute.
00:24:17To any of you.
00:24:17Dr. Marksman, would you consider joining Heart Medical Center as our chief of surgery?
00:24:25Well, I've...
00:24:26Full department autonomy, protected research time, a surgical fellowship in your name,
00:24:32and a seven-figure salary package.
00:24:47And cash.
00:25:07Dr. Marksman, I want you to revolutionize our surgery program.
00:25:11Well, hopefully this shows you.
00:25:14I mean what I say.
00:25:21Chief of surgery?
00:25:25You're offering all this to a surgeon who can't even keep his eyes open on the job?
00:25:30Dr. Heart, have you completely lost your medical judgment, or are you on drugs?
00:25:35This is absurd.
00:25:37He was a mediocre surgeon here at Vail, and now you're positioning him to lead your entire
00:25:42surgical department?
00:25:45The medical board should review your hiring practices.
00:25:50Vivian, I appreciate your confidence.
00:25:54This isn't about money.
00:25:57Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you.
00:26:01She's offering herself up to him.
00:26:04She can't do that.
00:26:05Are you a doctor or a call girl?
00:26:08At Heart Medical Center, you will be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves,
00:26:13including a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value.
00:26:19And I do mean anything, Dr. Marksman.
00:26:24Dr. Heart, for the sake of your own reputation, you need to know that this hack you're so eagerly
00:26:30pursuing has a documented history of negligence.
00:26:33My father confirmed it himself.
00:26:35Is that precisely what Nelson Vail told you?
00:26:38His exact words.
00:26:41Negligence search?
00:26:43What are those?
00:26:46Personal gifts from your father?
00:26:51My fellowship offer?
00:26:54My personal research lab?
00:26:55My surgical team?
00:26:57I'm leaving it all behind.
00:26:58You can tell President Vail that as of this moment, Dr. Marksman has permanently withdrawn
00:27:05from Vail Hospital and all of its affiliated institutions.
00:27:10You know what?
00:27:11Spare us the theatrics, Adrian.
00:27:13You never deserve those privileges in the first place.
00:27:16The medical board is going to see that justice is done.
00:27:19Oh, your stupidity.
00:27:22It's just astonishing.
00:27:24You treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels.
00:27:28This man is a life-saving artist.
00:27:35Dr. Heart, I understand there's some competition between your center and Vail Hospital.
00:27:40Yeah.
00:27:41Look, I'll be real.
00:27:42We're struggling to get out from under their shadow.
00:27:45I'd be happy to help you out with that.
00:27:47Take me on, and I'll transform Heart into the number one surgical institution in the country.
00:27:52Look at yourself, Adrian, offering your skills to a struggling clinic.
00:27:58How pathetically desperate.
00:28:01Oh, a backstabbing bottom feeder like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his caliber.
00:28:08How dare you talk to me like that!
00:28:09Your malpractice has caused catastrophic damage to my hospital's reputation.
00:28:16As the responsible party, I demand that you issue a formal apology to one of the major medical journals.
00:28:23And with an explanation to every affected Vail Hospital patient.
00:28:28Refuse me, and I will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently.
00:28:33That accusation isn't just baseless.
00:28:36It's absurd.
00:28:37What exactly do you think you're going to do about it?
00:28:40You've got no choice but to sign this confession.
00:28:42Oh, stop threatening my chief surgeon.
00:28:45If you insist on pursuing this vendetta, have your attorney send a formal complaint to Heart Medical Center.
00:28:51We'll consider it nothing less than a declaration of total war.
00:28:56If it's war you want, I will obliterate your dime store clinic with everything that I've got.
00:29:03Let's go.
00:29:04One more second and this cesspool is going to make me physically ill.
00:29:16Mr. Vail, don't you waste another precious moment on those second-rate practitioners.
00:29:21David, you've proven your loyalty.
00:29:25The chief of surgery position is yours, effective immediately.
00:29:29This is extraordinary.
00:29:34I am honored beyond words.
00:29:38Don't forget about me, Preston.
00:29:41Don't worry, babe.
00:29:42You will be thoroughly compensated for your loyalty.
00:29:47How exciting.
00:29:50Mr. Vail, I swear on my medical oath that I will not disappoint you.
00:29:54Mr. Vail, a commuter train derailed.
00:29:58Six critical patients incoming.
00:30:00Dr. Marksman, OR1 now.
00:30:02Now's your time to shine, Dr. Marksman.
00:30:04Shit.
00:30:04I'm screwed.
00:30:05Adrian's surgical journal with all his proprietary techniques is still in my office.
00:30:09If Preston finds out, I stole it and then couldn't even use it properly.
00:30:13I implemented a groundbreaking surgical protocol that I invented myself.
00:30:20These techniques are revolutionary.
00:30:22I'll walk you through it in detail after the emergency.
00:30:25It's impressive, Dr. Marksman.
00:30:27You've obviously got your own methodology.
00:30:30No need to bore me with the specifics.
00:30:31I trust your brilliance.
00:30:33Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:30:35With you leading my surgical team, I can focus on what really matters.
00:30:39Hospital expansion.
00:30:40Again, sir, I'm deeply honored.
00:30:50Behold, Vail Hospital's new chief of surgery.
00:30:54Let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now.
00:31:01Glad you're feeling better, honey.
00:31:03Yeah.
00:31:04Well, sorry.
00:31:05Who's this?
00:31:06Who's this?
00:31:06Nelson Vail speaking.
00:31:11President Vail, Dr. Vivian Hart here.
00:31:14I am calling to let you know that as of this morning, Hart Medical Center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena.
00:31:22Revolutionary surgical procedures are Vail Hospital's domain.
00:31:27Are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight?
00:31:29This is merely a professional courtesy call, not an invitation for debate.
00:31:34Now, just...
00:31:35Just that conniving bitch plotting.
00:31:43She knows Adrian is our surgical secret weapon.
00:31:47Why would she deliberately provoke a medical war if she has absolutely no chance of winning?
00:31:57Unless...
00:31:57Dad, we've got multiple traumas coming in.
00:32:04Just tell me you didn't fire Dr. Marksman.
00:32:06Dad, relax.
00:32:09I fired the other one.
00:32:10That incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned.
00:32:13Then explain to me why Hart Medical Center believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy.
00:32:21Because I masterfully led Vivian Hart into a false sense of reality.
00:32:26It's not way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures.
00:32:29I convinced Vivian that she's acquired surgical brilliance.
00:32:34But in reality, she's hired our disgraced, discarded loser.
00:32:38So you deliberately manipulated Vivian?
00:32:40She thinks she's hired genius behind Vail Hospital's groundbreaking procedures.
00:32:46That's why she had the audacity to declare war on you.
00:32:48Impressive, son.
00:32:50You're finally showing some of the leadership qualities.
00:32:52I've been waiting to see out of you.
00:32:54I think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division.
00:33:01Dad, this is everything I've worked for.
00:33:05We'll get to work immediately.
00:33:07We're going to expose Hart Medical Center for the low-grade institution it truly is.
00:33:14Their humiliation will be quick and absolute.
00:33:18I won't let you down.
00:33:18Darling, surgical innovation is the future of Vail.
00:33:25Preston only got his MBA last year.
00:33:27Do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program?
00:33:31I would never take a risk like this if Preston was our only asset.
00:33:37Remember, we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon.
00:33:41You mean the surgeon that saved my life?
00:33:44Dr. Adrian Marksman.
00:33:46Exactly.
00:33:47And all I need to do is stay hands-off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents.
00:33:56As long as Adrian is with Vail Hospital, Hart Medical Center has no chance of competing.
00:34:04Not only that, Vivian fell for Preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster, Dr. David Marksman.
00:34:12What we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble.
00:34:26So, now that you've seen the surgical department, what do you think?
00:34:32It's not bad.
00:34:34It's a small team, but they're talented.
00:34:35What you've built here, it's impressive, Viv.
00:34:41It's good to see you again after all these years, Adrian.
00:34:45You too.
00:34:47We need to expand.
00:34:49It's too small for what I'm planning.
00:34:52Also, I heard you weren't the only surgeon Preston Vail fired.
00:34:57We have all the angles figured out, don't you?
00:35:04And I always find the best one.
00:35:14I'm going to start recruiting.
00:35:17Good.
00:35:17The faster we rise, the more rewarding this partnership becomes.
00:35:36This better be good.
00:35:39Mr. Vail, you wanted to see me?
00:35:42My father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department.
00:35:51Given your new position as chief of surgery, I'm appointing you head of innovation.
00:35:57Mr. Vail, I, uh...
00:35:58Is there an issue with that?
00:36:00No, absolutely not.
00:36:02The budget for innovation is astronomical, and President Vail has already handed control to his son?
00:36:08If I oversee these procedures, I could divert significant resources to my personal research.
00:36:15Mr. Vail, you can trust me completely.
00:36:18I am precisely the right man for the job.
00:36:23Preston, we have a catastrophe on our hands.
00:36:25Two attending surgeons just submitted their resignation simultaneously.
00:36:28The department can't possibly maintain its caseload.
00:36:30What?
00:36:31They both resigned at once?
00:36:32What was their explanation?
00:36:33They refused to disclose their reasons.
00:36:35But there's talk they were recruited by a former Vail physician.
00:36:38Along with the three other surgeons you fired before.
00:36:40Former physician, Adrian Marksman.
00:36:42This has his saboteur signature all over it.
00:36:45Preston, what is our contingency plan?
00:36:47The surgical department is severely understaffed.
00:36:50If any more surgeons leave, patients will suffer.
00:36:52Okay, everybody needs to remain calm.
00:36:56You still have me.
00:36:58I can rebuild this department.
00:37:01Ah, yes.
00:37:02With your stellar reputation, we should be able to get the best of the best.
00:37:05Exactly.
00:37:06So we lost some second-rate talent.
00:37:09Let him go.
00:37:11I'll make some calls to Cedar Sinai and UCLA.
00:37:17Good work, Marksman.
00:37:21This is working out perfectly.
00:37:23Now I can install my own allies in key positions.
00:37:26Soon, I'll control the entire hospital's medical direction.
00:37:29It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Hart.
00:37:55This is Dr. Parker here.
00:38:00He's a triple board certified surgeon.
00:38:02And soon, he'll be the head of trauma surgery.
00:38:05This is Dr. Rose, Chen, Rose, and Thomas.
00:38:10All consummate professionals.
00:38:11My most trusted colleagues back at Vail.
00:38:17With this surgical team, Hart Medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country.
00:38:24Actually, the whole world.
00:38:25We're eager to begin, Dr. Hart.
00:38:27Well, welcome to Hart Medical Center.
00:38:31I am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us, but I do need to be transparent.
00:38:38We have got considerable ground to cover before we can truly challenge Vail Hospital's dominance.
00:38:43Have no fear, Dr. Hart.
00:38:45With Adrian leading our team, we'll be three steps ahead of anything Vail attempts.
00:38:50Yes, but Vail has already implemented Adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols.
00:38:56Yeah, about that.
00:38:58It's a preliminary version.
00:38:59If they continue to develop this approach without modification...
00:39:02Then what?
00:39:03A lot of deaths.
00:39:05A lot of lawsuits.
00:39:07A lot of patients could be harmed.
00:39:08Or worse, these procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement.
00:39:14Those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training.
00:39:18Without that foundation...
00:39:20We're talking about serious complications.
00:39:23Preventable harm.
00:39:24Our first priority has to be patient safety.
00:39:27We need to perfect these procedures.
00:39:29And then we can find a way to prevent Vail from continuing with the flawed protocols.
00:39:34Exactly.
00:39:35It's not about competition or pride.
00:39:37It's about saving lives.
00:39:38We're using our experience with the trial procedures I did at Vail to develop next-generation surgical techniques,
00:39:48eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies.
00:39:52Even if Vail Hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new,
00:39:58we'll maintain our significant advantage.
00:40:01And if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols, rest assured, their outcomes will deteriorate.
00:40:08I don't wish it upon their patients, that's for sure.
00:40:11Remember this moment.
00:40:13In this battle for medical supremacy,
00:40:15Heart Medical Center will emerge victorious.
00:40:18It's 3 a.m.
00:40:27Lost track of time again.
00:40:28Okay.
00:40:34Viv, you surprised me.
00:40:37Looks like you could use a nice rub.
00:40:39Do you mind?
00:40:41Do you mind?
00:40:42No.
00:40:44I mean, yeah.
00:40:47Will you give all your surgeons massages?
00:40:50Only the ones I really, really like.
00:40:58You really, really like me?
00:41:00Adrienne, I've really, really liked you since residency.
00:41:03Nothing's changed.
00:41:06You were our most brilliant resident in the program.
00:41:09I never imagined someone like you would like me.
00:41:12There was never anyone else that got my attention.
00:41:15Only you.
00:41:18But you were completely oblivious.
00:41:21And then you just vanished from the program.
00:41:24Well, I left to join the Experimental Surgical Fellowship in Switzerland.
00:41:28I know.
00:41:32Your talent was extraordinary even then.
00:41:35Back then, I made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday.
00:41:40You know, when I established Heart Medical Center,
00:41:43my first priority was recruiting you.
00:41:46But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Vale,
00:41:50had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives.
00:41:55I understand now.
00:41:58So, should we pick up where we left off in residency?
00:42:09You're the boss.
00:42:11That's right.
00:42:12And as your boss, I say, come home with me.
00:42:17Tonight?
00:42:18You lost everything when Preston fired you.
00:42:21Hospital privileges, research funding.
00:42:24Even your hospital-subsidized apartment.
00:42:30You have literally nowhere else to go tonight.
00:42:34Come with me.
00:42:37Where?
00:42:39My place.
00:42:40All right.
00:42:49I'll admit it.
00:42:51That was the best meal I've had in months.
00:42:53Careful, Dr. Marksman.
00:42:55I might start thinking you're easy to please.
00:42:58That just depends on the company.
00:43:00Well, starting tonight,
00:43:02this is your new home.
00:43:04Until the program's fully established,
00:43:06it just makes sense.
00:43:09Are you sure about that?
00:43:10We already work late hours.
00:43:13Living together
00:43:14could get complicated.
00:43:17Well, I like complicated.
00:43:19Keeps things interesting.
00:43:22And
00:43:22where exactly will I be sleeping?
00:43:25Well,
00:43:26my master suite
00:43:30has a
00:43:32California king.
00:43:36Plenty of room
00:43:37if things ever need to get more
00:43:40collaborative.
00:43:44Really?
00:43:46Relax.
00:43:47I'm only teasing.
00:43:49Tonight, at least.
00:43:52Come on.
00:43:53Come on.
00:43:55I'll show you your room.
00:43:59Unless you'd rather have a nightcap.
00:44:01And mine.
00:44:08Things could get dangerous.
00:44:15Is this pathetic attempt
00:44:16really the best that you can do?
00:44:21You are completely
00:44:23worthless as surgeons.
00:44:24Dr. Marksman.
00:44:26The experimental procedures
00:44:27we're trying to replicate here
00:44:28are extraordinarily intricate.
00:44:30We need at least
00:44:31six months
00:44:32to properly master...
00:44:33Six months?
00:44:35You have 72 hours.
00:44:37And I expect hourly updates
00:44:39on my desk.
00:44:40Sir,
00:44:40brushing these
00:44:41delicate procedures
00:44:42dramatically increases
00:44:44the possibility
00:44:44of potentially fatal complications.
00:44:46Three days.
00:44:47Then you don't get
00:44:48one hour more.
00:44:50Go.
00:44:51Go.
00:44:51Go.
00:44:51Report, Dr. Marksman.
00:44:56What's our status?
00:44:58Excellent progress, Mr. Vale.
00:45:00We will be advancing
00:45:00to phase two implementation
00:45:02within three days.
00:45:04That's exactly what I wanted to hear.
00:45:06I knew my judgment
00:45:07in appointing you
00:45:07was flawless.
00:45:08Preston, I need an update
00:45:15on the experimental
00:45:16surgery program.
00:45:18Everything's proceeding
00:45:19perfectly, Father.
00:45:20Outstanding.
00:45:21When this is done,
00:45:22I'll throw you a huge party
00:45:24to celebrate the launch.
00:45:25Your father must be
00:45:26so proud of you.
00:45:28Keep up the good work,
00:45:29Dr. Marksman.
00:45:30I'll make sure my father
00:45:31understands your invaluable
00:45:32contribution.
00:45:33This is my shot.
00:45:35Why settle for chief
00:45:36of surgery?
00:45:37With the right maneuvering,
00:45:38I could become the next
00:45:39chief medical officer
00:45:40of Vale Hospital.
00:45:42Mr. Vale,
00:45:43my purpose
00:45:44is to execute
00:45:45the visionary
00:45:46medical strategies
00:45:47of brilliant
00:45:49administrators
00:45:49such as yourself.
00:45:51I believe that
00:45:52in the position
00:45:52of chief medical officer,
00:45:54I could implement
00:45:55your ideas
00:45:56more effectively
00:45:56throughout the entire hospital.
00:45:59If these procedures
00:45:59prove successful,
00:46:00I will personally discuss
00:46:02your advancement
00:46:02with the board.
00:46:03Truly, that's...
00:46:05I am profoundly
00:46:07grateful, sir.
00:46:27You're finally awake.
00:46:33You can keep appreciating
00:46:35the view while you eat.
00:46:37All right.
00:46:38Ooh, breakfast.
00:46:39Looks good.
00:46:43When you're finished eating,
00:46:45we'll head directly
00:46:45to the surgical wing.
00:46:47Sound good?
00:46:48Yes.
00:46:49Absolutely.
00:46:50Good.
00:46:51get it up and running.
00:46:52Get it up and running,
00:46:53and there may be a
00:46:54special bonus
00:46:56waiting for you.
00:47:00Extra special.
00:47:10Okay, team.
00:47:11We're approaching
00:47:11a critical phase
00:47:12of our program development.
00:47:13We have groundbreaking procedures
00:47:15that we need to perfect
00:47:17in very little time.
00:47:18So, let's get to it.
00:47:20Let's start revolutionizing medicine.
00:47:22I have excellent news
00:47:23for all of you.
00:47:24I've just finalized
00:47:25arrangements with the board,
00:47:27and upon successful implementation
00:47:29of our surgical innovations,
00:47:32each of you will receive
00:47:33a fully funded medical mission trip
00:47:35anywhere in the world
00:47:36that you choose
00:47:37to share your expertise.
00:47:39And,
00:47:39when the time comes
00:47:41that our procedures
00:47:41receive national certification,
00:47:44every surgeon on this team
00:47:46will be gifted
00:47:47a percentage of the royalties
00:47:48from any techniques we patent.
00:47:52At Hart Medical Center,
00:47:54our surgeons
00:47:55are the lifeblood
00:47:56of our institution,
00:47:58and you will be
00:47:59compensated accordingly.
00:48:03Dr. Hart,
00:48:04we are fully committed
00:48:05to making this surgical program
00:48:07a success.
00:48:08Absolutely.
00:48:09You'll be seeing progress
00:48:10ASAP.
00:48:11Vail Hospital
00:48:12won't know what hit him.
00:48:13With Adrian leading us,
00:48:14victory is guaranteed.
00:48:16Hart is best!
00:48:17Hart is best!
00:48:18Hart is best!
00:48:20Hart is best!
00:48:21Hart is best!
00:48:23We're running wild
00:48:24hearts on fire
00:48:25Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
00:48:29We're chasing dreams
00:48:31and climbing higher
00:48:32Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
00:48:35Get on this path
00:48:37We need to stay
00:48:38We need to stay
00:48:38We need to get on this path
00:48:40We're going on the way
00:48:42You always this disciplined?
00:48:54Or are you just trying to impress me?
00:48:57I was trying to impress you
00:49:00You even know
00:49:01Midnight meetings
00:49:03Long hours
00:49:05This work ethic of yours
00:49:08It's a little dangerous
00:49:11Okay
00:49:12That's what Belle used to say
00:49:15about me
00:49:16Then they fired me
00:49:19And they were fools
00:49:22You've earned more than just
00:49:26respect here, Adrian
00:49:27You know that, right?
00:49:30You're trying to motivate me again?
00:49:36I don't try
00:49:37I do
00:49:42Well, don't work too late
00:49:47You're no good to me, burnt out
00:49:52The incompetence
00:50:02Is, uh, is staggering
00:50:04Yeah, you too
00:50:06Are in way over your heads
00:50:07Do you really think that this is acceptable?
00:50:12I give you one simple task
00:50:14And you screw it up
00:50:15How the hell did either of you even finish residency?
00:50:20Vail General Hospital
00:50:21Is the gold standard
00:50:23And you two are just standing around
00:50:25Like clueless little interns
00:50:26If these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow
00:50:29You're both gone
00:50:30Is that clear?
00:50:32Yes, sir
00:50:33This is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team?
00:50:39Go
00:50:40Oh, Mr. Vail
00:50:47What a, what a, what a surprise
00:50:49Cut the bullshit, Marksman
00:50:50We're on schedule or not?
00:50:53Of course
00:50:54We're, we're just refining the final stages
00:50:58Yeah, everything is under control
00:51:01Good
00:51:01There's a problem
00:51:03I expect to hear it from you
00:51:04No cover-ups
00:51:05Of course, sir
00:51:06Mr. Vail
00:51:10Not now
00:51:10Go get me the latest performance reports
00:51:13It, uh
00:51:17Looks like Preston's growing a little cold
00:51:20On our lovely administrator here
00:51:22Don't worry
00:51:23When Preston makes me chief medical officer
00:51:26I'm gonna need someone
00:51:28Flexible in my corner
00:51:30I was back at the winning team, Dr. Marksman
00:51:32Today Vail Hospital officially launched
00:51:42Its highly anticipated next generation surgical program
00:51:46This cutting edge approach to surgical care
00:51:48Is being closely watched by the medical industry
00:51:51Especially as Heart Medical's competing program
00:51:54Was released on the same day
00:51:56The question now is
00:51:57Who will define the future of surgery
00:52:00Relax, Mr. Vail
00:52:02Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance
00:52:05I hope you're right
00:52:07For your sake
00:52:09Didn't you say that, uh
00:52:14If the rollout went well
00:52:15That you'd make me
00:52:16Chief medical officer?
00:52:18It's not a success
00:52:19Yet
00:52:21Enjoy tonight's launch party
00:52:24Because if our results don't outshine Heart Medical
00:52:27It'll be the last thing you have to celebrate
00:52:29For a long time
00:52:30Dr. Hurt
00:52:42We, uh, have a problem
00:52:44Vail Hospital's new surgical program launches today
00:52:48That soon?
00:52:50They're hosting a big celebration party tonight
00:52:53It's a good thing we're ahead of
00:52:57You're saying we're ready?
00:53:01Why would I lie?
00:53:02We've been tracking Vail's every move
00:53:04Let him celebrate
00:53:06It's just gonna backfire
00:53:07How exactly does that work in our favor?
00:53:11Viv, do you remember what I told you
00:53:13When you first brought me here?
00:53:16Preston Vail's rushing this
00:53:18He's desperate to beat us to the market
00:53:19And?
00:53:20Their model's flawed
00:53:21If they keep moving forward
00:53:23Without realizing their structural failure
00:53:25And their approach
00:53:26We won't have to lift a damn finger
00:53:29And what about when it falls apart?
00:53:31Then Heart Medical takes over
00:53:33As the future of modern surgery
00:53:34So you're saying that Vail Hospital
00:53:38Has been refining the prototype surgical method
00:53:40That you designed?
00:53:41It's the only way they could have gotten this far
00:53:43This fast
00:53:44They're using an early draft
00:53:46Full of mistakes
00:53:47That I won't make again
00:53:48They don't even realize
00:53:50The cracks in their foundation
00:53:51That actually makes perfect sense
00:53:55Which means we've already won
00:53:58Well, this is a big day for us
00:54:00We should celebrate
00:54:02What do you have in mind?
00:54:03Drinks?
00:54:04Not quite
00:54:05You and I are crashing the Vail launch party
00:54:08Tonight
00:54:08What?
00:54:10Why?
00:54:11Let me worry about that
00:54:13In the meantime, ensure a smooth rollout
00:54:15Finish whatever procedures you need to
00:54:17And meet me in the lobby
00:54:19And meet me in the lobby
00:54:19At 8pm sharp
00:54:20Preston, we've been through so much together
00:54:37I know where I'm headed in life, and I know who I want by my side.
00:54:43Tonight, at this launch party, celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program,
00:54:49it's like the perfect moment to ask,
00:54:52will you marry me?
00:54:58You should be fun.
00:55:02Absolutely.
00:55:04You really know how to take care of yourself, Mr. Vale?
00:55:07Stop it.
00:55:08Too bad you're taken.
00:55:09Yeah, yeah, what a shame.
00:55:11Where the fuck is Fiona?
00:55:13Told her meet me out here so we can go to this party together.
00:55:16Forget about her.
00:55:17She's just social climbing trash anyways.
00:55:20We'll show you a better time.
00:55:24Now that's an offer I can't refuse.
00:55:26Let's go.
00:55:27Fiona who?
00:55:31Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:55:33Let me get you off.
00:55:37The number you have dialed is unavailable.
00:55:57Please try again later.
00:55:58It's 20 in one day.
00:56:24All clean, all stable.
00:56:27The experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.
00:56:30You did it.
00:56:32No.
00:56:33We didn't.
00:56:37Dr. Marksman, you have to get to Vale's launch party pronto.
00:56:40You're already late.
00:56:41I need a change there.
00:56:42You don't have time.
00:56:43Where's Vivian?
00:56:46Taking care of something.
00:56:47She said it's really important that you be there, and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:56:53Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vale Hospital's revolutionary surgical program.
00:56:57What the fuck?
00:57:14You're my date, and you're wasted.
00:57:16I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.
00:57:19Yeah.
00:57:19God knows why I chose you, but I did.
00:57:21So if you want to keep your job and your status, sober up for God's sakes.
00:57:25Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?
00:57:47It's giving orderly sheep.
00:57:53Maybe he's here to bust tables.
00:57:55What are you doing at our launch party?
00:57:58You weren't invited.
00:57:59You so sure about that?
00:58:00I mean, look at you.
00:58:01This is a black tie.
00:58:03I mean, not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is.
00:58:07Oh, look who crawled in from the gutter.
00:58:10The failed surgeon.
00:58:12The fraud.
00:58:14The nobody.
00:58:16Showed to my party in dirty scrubs, Marksman?
00:58:18I thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the low lives.
00:58:22Guess I need to fire them, too.
00:58:24Pardon me.
00:58:24I just came straight from surgery.
00:58:26Because some of us here are real surgeons.
00:58:29What are you trying to say?
00:58:30I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody, isn't me.
00:58:36I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.
00:58:43Got some nerve talking to my man Marksman like that.
00:58:47A genius like him leading our surgical team?
00:58:50You won't be able to get anywhere near our next party.
00:58:52Yeah, because it'll happen in prison.
00:58:54When you're all arrested for medical malpractice, criminal negligence, and identity theft.
00:59:00What are you talking about?
00:59:04Identity theft.
00:59:06Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?
00:59:08Yours?
00:59:09Let me give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.
00:59:12If you don't got it, just act like you do.
00:59:15Speaking from experience.
00:59:18Look around you.
00:59:20This is the elite among the elite.
00:59:23The best of the best in the medical field.
00:59:25Just because you waltz in here and you're dirty, cheap scrubs, doesn't make you one of us.
00:59:30Good.
00:59:30I'm glad.
00:59:31Because you're all beneath me.
00:59:34Isn't that right, Dr. Marksman?
00:59:36That's enough.
00:59:37Guards!
00:59:39This former employee is threatening us.
00:59:42Kick him out!
00:59:44Touch me and you'll regret it.
00:59:47I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
00:59:51What are you dumbasses doing?
00:59:52Grab him!
00:59:53Christy!
01:00:08What the hell is this?
01:00:11Dad.
01:00:12Relax.
01:00:13I, uh...
01:00:14Relax?
01:00:14Relax?
01:00:14This twat came in uninvited.
01:00:17I was just kicking him out.
01:00:18Guards!
01:00:19Remove him immediately.
01:00:20President Vale, it truly is an honor to finally meet you.
01:00:23You get out of my way!
01:00:25Dad, what are you doing?
01:00:26This is, this is, this is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...
01:00:30You are such a fool!
01:00:34Dad.
01:00:35What are you, what are you doing?
01:00:37Open your eyes, Preston.
01:00:39This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...
01:00:43You are a...
01:00:45Disgraced!
01:00:47Dad!
01:00:49My hospital meant something and...
01:00:51You turned it into a...
01:00:53Into a...
01:00:54You...
01:00:55Dad!
01:00:56Dad!
01:01:01Dad!
01:01:03President Vale.
01:01:05Fuck away from my dad!
01:01:07Are you out of your mind?
01:01:08He is the best surgeon in this room.
01:01:10Oh yeah, like you give a shit about saving my dad.
01:01:12I'll die before I trust you two.
01:01:14Somebody get me a real doctor!
01:01:16David!
01:01:16David!
01:01:18Dude, it's cold!
01:01:18It's cold!
01:01:23Can't think of what to do next?
01:01:26Blanking?
01:01:26Can't think of a diagnosis?
01:01:28Shut up!
01:01:29Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?
01:01:32This is ridiculous.
01:01:33I thought this David guy was a genius.
01:01:36Why are you just standing there?
01:01:37Do something!
01:01:40What's the matter, David?
01:01:40If you need help, just ask.
01:01:44All you have to do is admit what you did.
01:01:46Right here.
01:01:47Right now.
01:01:49I can't blow my cover, but...
01:01:50What if I kill him?
01:01:53I don't know anything about surgeries.
01:01:55I don't even know what's wrong with them.
01:01:58I did medical school on Zoom.
01:02:00David, this is a matter of life and death.
01:02:04Let it go!
01:02:05I...
01:02:07I...
01:02:08I...
01:02:09I can't.
01:02:12I can't do this.
01:02:14Okay, I can't...
01:02:16I can't do this.
01:02:17I can't do this without my notebook.
01:02:21That's my surgical notebook.
01:02:26He stole it from me.
01:02:34Okay, okay.
01:02:36I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.
01:02:39I can't do this.
01:02:40I can't do this.
01:02:41I can't do this.
01:02:42Okay.
01:02:43Okay.
01:02:44I got it.
01:02:45I got it.
01:02:46Take it, take it, take it.
01:02:47Okay.
01:02:48All right.
01:02:49Hold his head, but tilt it back and apply pressure here.
01:02:52Here.
01:02:53Okay.
01:02:54Okay.
01:03:04Okay.
01:03:06Okay.
01:03:07Okay.
01:03:08Ready.
01:03:09Fall.
01:03:10Fall.
01:03:15Oh, thank God.
01:03:16How are you doing?
01:03:17Let out!
01:03:23Oh, that's my guy.
01:03:25Surgical genius.
01:03:27That's how Val makes history.
01:03:29Somebody get this man a medal.
01:03:31Or at least a new department.
01:03:33If you still want that chief medical officer position,
01:03:36say the word.
01:03:37Now, do I have to have somebody escort you out?
01:03:42That maneuver.
01:03:44That notebook.
01:03:45It's mine.
01:03:46Then tell them!
01:03:48Where is he going?
01:03:52Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program
01:03:55at another fake hospital.
01:03:57Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?
01:04:00Say, why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life?
01:04:07That procedure David used, I invented it.
01:04:11What kind of crack are you smoking?
01:04:13He's delusional.
01:04:14Somebody, seriously, check this guy's medical license.
01:04:18The notebook he used to save your father.
01:04:21That's mine.
01:04:22My handwriting.
01:04:24My theories.
01:04:26You're just pissed because he did what you couldn't.
01:04:29I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories as innovation.
01:04:33And when it fails.
01:04:34And it will.
01:04:36You're not the ones that'll pay for it.
01:04:40The patients will.
01:04:41You can't prove that.
01:04:43Not yet.
01:04:45But you can't fake medicine.
01:04:48Medicine and science always tell the truth.
01:04:52My three's vitals just dropped.
01:04:55We've got uncontrolled bleeding.
01:04:57Second patient today.
01:04:58Same issue.
01:04:59Vessel ligation failed mid-operation.
01:05:02These techniques aren't viable.
01:05:04The fail method doesn't hold under stress.
01:05:07I mean, come on.
01:05:08Tonight proves it.
01:05:09We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country.
01:05:20I'll be right back.
01:05:22Just coordinating with the team.
01:05:26Talk to me.
01:05:27The vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again.
01:05:30This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.
01:05:35Use the compression step.
01:05:37That only works in controlled scenarios.
01:05:39We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.
01:05:42Look, just follow the notes.
01:05:48I designed those techniques for 101 guidance.
01:05:51Not mass implementation.
01:05:53Without calibration.
01:05:55It's unstable.
01:05:56It's dangerous.
01:05:57They tried to commercialize your success without you.
01:06:00Now people are paying for it.
01:06:03All good?
01:06:05Of course.
01:06:07Just routine coordination.
01:06:09Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.
01:06:12Your surgical program is failing.
01:06:14And patients are suffering.
01:06:16You've been out of the field for months.
01:06:18You wouldn't know.
01:06:19Yeah, I would know.
01:06:20Because the procedures that you're butchering, I invented.
01:06:23And I'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing.
01:06:27Oh, shit.
01:06:28Oh, shit.
01:06:35Oh, yes. This is Dr. Marksman.
01:06:37Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:06:40Okay.
01:06:42Listen very carefully.
01:06:44Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging.
01:06:48Because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.
01:06:51No.
01:06:52You need to perform a Marksman-modified Pringle maneuver with selective hepatic arterial ligation, followed by a rapid sequence vascular anatomosis using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures.
01:07:06Yes.
01:07:08Yes.
01:07:09How do we even know he made a phone call?
01:07:14This whole thing is performance, a charade.
01:07:17You stole his methods.
01:07:19This entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork.
01:07:24Uh, that's a lie.
01:07:26Then prove me wrong.
01:07:28Show them all a technique that I didn't create.
01:07:30Why would we believe anything he says?
01:07:35He was fired.
01:07:37You're right. I was fired.
01:07:39And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary.
01:07:45You know what? This is pathetic.
01:07:47He's just jealous. He missed his shot.
01:07:49Is that what you told yourself?
01:07:51When you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal?
01:07:55Even if that were true, this isn't the time or the place.
01:07:58I think it's exactly the time and place.
01:08:01I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator.
01:08:16And thanks to Adrian's guidance, our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients.
01:08:23Adrian just cleaned up your mess.
01:08:25You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready and you fired him.
01:08:31The one person who could make them safe.
01:08:34Dad, you don't see the full picture here.
01:08:37Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.
01:08:41This hospital was built on trust and integrity and you've disgraced them both.
01:08:47Your father nearly died because of your ego.
01:08:51Because of his lies.
01:08:52You saved me.
01:08:55You saved Nelson.
01:08:57And now you can save Vale.
01:09:00I tried to warn you all.
01:09:02No one listened.
01:09:04They're listening now.
01:09:05You deserve to be at Vale more than either of those two.
01:09:11And probably even more than me.
01:09:13It was a mistake to let you go.
01:09:15Months ago, I was fired from Vale Hospital with procedures still in development.
01:09:21They weren't ready.
01:09:23They needed supervision.
01:09:25Precision.
01:09:27Development.
01:09:28Instead, someone took my notes and tried to fast track them for glory.
01:09:31Oh.
01:09:32You can't prove that.
01:09:34Security footage.
01:09:38Of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital.
01:09:43Already submitted to the board.
01:09:45I built on what he started, okay?
01:09:49I didn't steal.
01:09:51I enhanced it.
01:09:53Then why were patients about to die?
01:09:56You falsified rollout readiness?
01:09:59He did more than that.
01:10:00He put lives at risk to prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program.
01:10:06We're going to need to open a formal investigation on this.
01:10:10This is absurd.
01:10:11This was supposed to be our night.
01:10:13Oh, it's your night.
01:10:15Just not the way you thought it'd be.
01:10:18You lied to me.
01:10:20I didn't lie.
01:10:21I simplified the truth.
01:10:23Simplify?
01:10:24You could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people.
01:10:28You nearly killed the president of the hospital.
01:10:31You passed up experimental procedures as launch ready.
01:10:34That's malpractice.
01:10:36They worked.
01:10:37Nelson's alive.
01:10:38Look, the patients, they're alive.
01:10:40Yeah, because of me.
01:10:41Those methods require sequential tensioning, breath control, special clamp techniques.
01:10:47Getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death.
01:10:50Wait, these really are your techniques.
01:10:53I tested them for years.
01:10:55It was never meant for mass rollout.
01:10:58Not without training.
01:10:59You're rewriting history?
01:11:01No, you tried to erase him from it.
01:11:04Adrian Marksman was the reason that Vale's program had a future.
01:11:08And without him, it won't.
01:11:11This is absurd!
01:11:13You're siding with this disgraced former resident?
01:11:16He's not disgraced, son.
01:11:18You are.
01:11:19You hijacked a program you didn't understand.
01:11:23And then when your ego wasn't enough, you propped up this fraud.
01:11:30Taking a side, dad?
01:11:32I'm your son.
01:11:34I'm taking the side of truth.
01:11:36And so will the board.
01:11:37We will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning.
01:11:41Until then, both of you are suspended from all surgical and administrative duties.
01:11:46Suspended?
01:11:47No, no, you can't do that.
01:11:48You don't understand the politics of running a hospital.
01:11:51We understand the liability.
01:11:52That's enough.
01:11:55Mr. Preston Vale, Dr. David Marksman, come with us.
01:12:00Dad, you're not going to often drag me out like this.
01:12:03I'm your son.
01:12:04No, don't you touch me.
01:12:05Don't touch me.
01:12:06You're not a child.
01:12:07Hey!
01:12:08Dad!
01:12:09I'm your son!
01:12:10Son of a...
01:12:11Dad!
01:12:12Get off me!
01:12:13Get off me!
01:12:14You're not a child!
01:12:15You're not my responsibility!
01:12:24Adrian, please.
01:12:26I made a mistake.
01:12:27I see that now.
01:12:28I should have believed in you.
01:12:29I should have stood by you.
01:12:31You were right about everything.
01:12:36Just give me a second chance.
01:12:39Please.
01:12:41I still love you.
01:12:43Love?
01:12:44You traded him the second someone flashier walked by.
01:12:48You don't understand.
01:12:50I thought he was finished.
01:12:52I thought he had nothing left.
01:12:54So you sold him out.
01:12:56Mocked him.
01:12:57Over and over again.
01:13:00I was scared.
01:13:01I...
01:13:02I didn't know what to do.
01:13:03Oh, you knew.
01:13:04You just didn't care.
01:13:06Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser.
01:13:10Please.
01:13:12Say something.
01:13:15Anything.
01:13:16You had your chance, Fiona.
01:13:18And you spent it holding Preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive.
01:13:21You always belonged in my operating room.
01:13:33And I should have fought harder to keep you if I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes.
01:13:38The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board.
01:13:44And David will never go near another patient again.
01:13:48We're rebuilding.
01:13:50And I want you back as Vale's chief of experimental surgery.
01:13:55I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.
01:13:59You had your chance too.
01:14:01I'm not the same man that you fired.
01:14:04Well, all the more reason we need you back at Vale.
01:14:08Adrian 2.0.
01:14:10I'm not coming back.
01:14:13You're choosing her?
01:14:15Our rival?
01:14:17You arrogant little ingrate.
01:14:19I open the door for you and you slam it in my face.
01:14:22Just typical.
01:14:25Just when you had your moment, you turned your back on it.
01:14:29For what? Her?
01:14:31She's just gonna use you up and toss you aside like everyone else.
01:14:35Oh, projecting much, Nelson.
01:14:38Get me out of here.
01:14:40Now!
01:14:41Corma has good timing.
01:15:02Speaking of timing, we should get back to work.
01:15:04We have lives to save.
01:15:06Hey!
01:15:08Not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.
01:15:13I still owe you that extra special bonus.
01:15:18Now?
01:15:19Well, there's no time like the present.
01:15:20This is what victory tastes like.
01:15:22It's not bad.
01:15:24I need a second opinion.
01:15:26Well, I've got all night.
01:15:28And you're not leaving this room until I've properly celebrated my genius surgeon.
01:15:32Should I be afraid of a performance review?
01:15:33You're already exceeding expectations.
01:15:34But I am very thorough.
01:15:35Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.
01:15:36I'm sorry.
01:15:37I'm sorry.
01:15:38I need a second opinion.
01:15:40I need a second opinion.
01:15:42Well, I've got all night.
01:15:43And you're not leaving this room until I've properly celebrated my genius surgeon.
01:15:46Should I be afraid of a performance review?
01:15:48You're already exceeding expectations.
01:15:51But I am very thorough.
01:15:53Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.
01:16:03Besides being you, of course.
01:16:05Besides being you, of course.
