00:00:00A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured patients
00:00:07flooding into Vail Hospital's emergency department. The fate of these accident victims now rests in the
00:00:13hands of Vail's surgical team, their last hope for survival in the face of devastating trauma.
00:00:19Facials crashing! We need an attending surgeon now! All the hours are full. We got three more criticals incoming.
00:00:25Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding. Well, I can't leave this one. Where's Dr. Stevens?
00:00:30We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the EOR.
00:00:50Need a hand? A new hire. You just started this month.
00:00:55Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level one trauma like this.
00:00:59Patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:00Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman. Patient's yours.
00:01:10Okay, we are going to perform a modified Whipple.
00:01:13Whipple? For trauma? That's insane.
00:01:16Trust me.
00:01:17I need some bomb scissors. Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:25That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive.
00:01:28Bovey Cottery. Watch.
00:01:39He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:41The bleeding? It's under control.
00:01:44But how? But how did he...
00:01:48Silk suture?
00:01:53Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:01:57I've never seen anything like this.
00:02:04Almost done.
00:02:04This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:19Jesus, Adrian. What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:02:28I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but that...
00:02:30That 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 Vail personally recruited a medical prodigy who
00:02:43revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General. Is that you?
00:02:54Final suture.
00:02:56Miss Vail's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:03:00Doctor.
00:03:05The 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.
00:03:21But you, you saved my Catherine.
00:03:26She'll make a full recovery, President Vail.
00:03:28Name your price, whatever it is. We need you at Vail.
00:03:31My hospital.
00:03:35Look, I'll explain later. Right 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.
00:03:43I'll take over from here.
00:03:46Okay.
00:03:48Good work, everyone.
00:03:56They're all stable.
00:04:17you're all stable every single one of them stabilized

00:19:09control you're dr marksman ah yes the very same my father mentioned your exceptional
00:19:18harvard medical was it these morons have no idea i'm taking credit for adrian's revolutionary
00:19:25techniques as long as the boss's son is impressed i'll be chief of surgery by next month mr veil i've
00:19:31identified who's responsible for all the issues in or3 today he was sleeping while a patient almost
00:19:38died on the table clear-cut medical malfeasance
00:19:50dr hart incredible news dr adrian marksman that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking
00:19:58he's just been terminated from veil hospital
00:20:00when less than an hour ago dismissed by president veil's son
00:20:07huh amazing i'd pay to see nelson veil's face when he discovers that his price surgeon
00:20:15was fired by his submental son with uh respect we're still establishing our reputation
00:20:23would someone of marksman's caliber even consider joining us
00:20:27for him whatever it takes full department autonomy research funding state-of-the-art facilities
00:20:36and if necessary my personal involvement his techniques could revolutionize surgical care
00:20:45have my car brought round i'm going to veil hospital personally
00:20:48and adrian marksman he's leaving with me
00:20:59now fees it's what kind of delusional accusation is that now don't insult our intelligence a patient
00:21:05coded while you were off taking a nap the timing couldn't possibly be coincidental yet you stand there
00:21:10denying it this is crazy you've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon and when a complication
00:21:16occurs which happened in this hospital under your incompetent leadership you blame me
00:21:24the collective medical knowledge in this room isn't enough to fill a prescription pad
00:21:30if you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be you would still have a job
00:21:35i'm not going to stand here and debate medicine with you in front of mr veil security please detain him
00:21:46what exactly are you accusing me of either confess to medical malfeasance or they'll escort you to
00:21:53the police for criminal negligence adrian i never realized you were capable of endangering patients
00:22:00what other medical atrocities have you committed you better confess now or we'll do that
00:22:04but even the power to make sure you lose your medical license
00:22:07fine go ahead do your worst let's see if a single piece of evidence holds up in front of the medical
00:22:15board you really underestimate my family's influence don't you don't you realize that mr
00:22:24veil here can end your entire career with one phone call sir i strongly recommend that we make an example
00:22:30out of him after all he'll be a danger to his patients wherever he goes priston you can't let
00:22:35him walk away after this not after what he did to our patients i'm contacting the medical board right
00:22:42now as of this moment dr adrian marksman is blacklisted from veil hospital and every medical institute in
00:22:49the country plans in motion adrian do you know what that means it means that you will never practice
00:22:56medicine in this country again i have one question before i go does your father know you fired me
00:23:06my father's the one who asked me to fire you you dipshit
00:23:11you thought you were some brilliant surgical god didn't you security remove this criminal from
00:23:17hospital property immediately immediately yes doctor right away sir
00:23:21that's quite enough

00:24:15as value he was sleeping during rounds is this how veil hospital discards its exceptional talent
00:24:23your father built this institution's reputation of medical excellence not petty politics
00:24:30dr hart with all due respect this is a conversation between medical directors someone in your position
00:24:36should recognize when to maintain silence dr hart i must inform you that dr marksman represents a
00:24:43serious liability he compromised the patient's safety and i don't believe i requested your medical
00:24:48opinion dr marksman david marksman i have neither time nor interest in your assessment after he
00:24:58decided to go to sleep we had a critical surgical complication his negligence led to the problem his
00:25:05actions not only endangered patients it compromised my hospital's reputation are you really willing to
00:25:12defend someone who violates the hippocratic oath did you actually consult with your father before
00:25:17dismissing dr marksman of course i consulted my father he's the one who specifically mentioned his
00:25:26dangerous surgical shortcuts and inflated reputation dangerous shortcuts is that what president veil really said
00:25:34his exact words were remove him at first opportunity president veil was the one that recruited me this
00:25:39makes absolutely no sense please adrian the president wouldn't personally recruit a mid-level surgeon like
00:25:46you those gala invitations were professional courtesy not genuine respect well if that's the way things

00:27:15this is absurd he was a mediocre surgeon here at veil
00:27:19and now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department
00:27:22medical board should review your hiring practices
00:27:27i appreciate your confidence

00:27:35maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you
00:27:40she's offering herself up to him she can't do that are you a doctor or a call girl at our medical
00:27:48center you will be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves
00:27:52including a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value
00:27:58and i do mean anything dr marksman
00:28:03dr hart for the sake of your own reputation you you need to know that this hack you're so eagerly

00:28:45veil hospital and all of its affiliated institutions you know what spare us the theatrics adrian you never
00:28:52deserve those privileges in the first place the medical board is going to see that justice is done

00:29:25you out with that take me on and i'll transform hart into the number one surgical institution in the
00:29:31country look at yourself adrian offering your skills to a struggling clinic how pathetically desperate
00:29:40oh a backstabbing bottom feeder like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his caliber
00:29:47how dare you talk to me like that your malpractice has caused catastrophic damage
00:29:53to my hospital's reputation as the responsible party i demand that you issue a formal apology to
00:30:00one of the major medical journals and with an explanation to every affected veil hospital patient
00:30:07refuse me and i will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently
00:30:12that accusation isn't just baseless it's absurd what exactly do you think you're going to do about
00:30:18it you got no choice but to sign this confession oh stop threatening my chief surgeon if you insist
00:30:25on pursuing this vendetta have your attorney send a formal complaint to heart medical center

00:33:46dad relax i fired the other one that incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned
00:33:51then explain to me why heart medical center believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy
00:33:59because i masterfully led vivian hard into a false sense of reality it's not way a mediocre doctor
00:34:06can revolutionize surgical procedures i convinced vivian that she's acquired surgical brilliance but in
00:34:13reality she's hired our disgrace discarded loser so you deliberately manipulated vivian she thinks
00:34:20she's hired genius behind vale hospital's groundbreaking procedures that's why she had the audacity to
00:34:26declare war on you impressive son you're finally showing some of the leadership qualities i've been
00:34:32waiting to see out of you i think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division
00:34:38dad this this is everything i've worked for thank you we'll get to work immediately we're going to expose
00:34:47heart medical center for the low-grade institution it truly is their humiliation will be quick
00:34:55and absolute i won't let you down
00:35:00darling surgical innovation is the future of vale preston only got his mba last year do you really
00:35:07think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program i would never take a risk
00:35:12like this if preston was our only asset remember we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon you mean
00:35:21the surgeon that saved my life dr adrian marksman exactly and all i need to do is stay hands off
00:35:31and let him exercise his extraordinary talents as long as adrian is with vale hospital heart medical center
00:35:40has no chance of competing not only that vivian fell for preston's manipulation and hired that medical
00:35:48disaster dr david marksman what we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble
00:36:00so now that you've seen the surgical department
00:36:10what do you think it's not bad it's a small team but they're talented
00:36:15what you've built here it's impressive viv
00:36:21it's good to see you again after all these years adrian
00:36:23you too we need to expand it's too small for what i'm planning
00:36:31so i heard you weren't the only surgeon preston vale fired
00:36:41we have all the angles figured out don't you and i always find the best one
00:36:51i'm gonna start recruiting good the faster we rise the more rewarding this partnership becomes
00:37:07this better be good mr vale you wanted to see me
00:37:21my father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department given your new
00:37:31position as chief of surgery i'm appointing you head of innovation mr vale i uh is there an issue with
00:37:38that no absolutely not the budget for innovation is astronomical and president vale has already handed
00:37:46control to his son if i oversee these procedures i could divert significant resources to my personal research
00:37:54mr vale you can trust me completely i am precisely the right man for the job
00:38:02preston we have a catastrophe on our hands two attending surgeons just submitted their
00:38:05resignation simultaneously the department can't possibly maintain its caseload what they both
00:38:10resigned at once what was their explanation they refused to disclose their reasons but there's talk
00:38:14they were recruited by a former failed physician along with the three other surgeons you fired before
00:38:19former physician adrian marksman this has his saboteur signature all over it
00:38:24president what's our contingency plan the surgical department is severely understaffed
00:38:29if any more surgeons leave patients will suffer hey everybody needs to remain calm
00:38:36you still have me i can rebuild this department ah yes with your stellar reputation we should be able
00:38:43to get the best of the best exactly so we lost some second-rate talent let him go
00:38:50i'll make some calls to cedar sinai and ucla good work marksman
00:39:00this is working out perfectly now i can install my own allies in key positions
00:39:05soon i'll control the entire hospital's medical direction
00:39:19it's an honor to meet you dr hart
00:39:38this is dr parker here he's a triple board certified search and soon he'll be the head of trauma surgery
00:39:44this is dr rose chen rose and thomas all consummate professionals my most trusted colleagues back at
00:39:53vale
00:39:56with this surgical team heart medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country
00:40:03actually the whole world we're ready to begin dr hart well welcome to heart medical center
00:40:09i am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us but i do need to be transparent
00:40:17we have got considerable ground to cover before we can truly challenge vale hospital's dominance
00:40:23have no fear dr hart with adrian leading our team we'll be three steps ahead of anything
00:40:28bail attempts yes but vale has already implemented adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols
00:40:35yeah about that it's a preliminary version if they continue to develop this approach without modification
00:40:41then what a lot of deaths a lot of lawsuits a lot of patients could be harmed or worse
00:40:48these procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement
00:40:53those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training without that foundation
00:40:59we're talking about serious complications preventable harm our first priority
00:41:04has to be patient safety we need to perfect these procedures and then we can find a way to prevent
00:41:10vale from continuing with the flawed protocols exactly it's not about competition or pride it's about saving lives
00:41:20we're using our experience with the trial procedures i did at vale to develop next generation
00:41:25surgical techniques eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies
00:41:31even if veil hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new
00:41:37we'll maintain our significant advantage and if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols
00:41:44rest assured their outcomes will deteriorate i don't wish it upon their patients that's for sure
00:41:50remember this moment in this battle for medical supremacy heart medical center will emerge victorious
00:42:00it's just 3 a.m lost track of time again
00:42:13viv you surprised me
00:42:17looks like you could use a nice rub
00:42:18do you mind
00:42:21no
00:42:22i mean
00:42:24yeah
00:42:25will you give all your surgeons massages
00:42:28only the ones i really really like
00:42:37you really really like me
00:42:39adrian i've really really liked you since residency
00:42:42nothing's changed
00:42:46you were our most brilliant resident in the program
00:42:48i never imagined someone like you would like me
00:42:51there was never anyone else that got my attention
00:42:54only you
00:42:57but you were completely oblivious and then you just
00:43:01vanished from the program
00:43:03well i left to join the experimental surgical fellowship in switzerland
00:43:07i know
00:43:11your talent was extraordinary even then
00:43:14back then i made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday
00:43:19you know when i established heart medical center
00:43:22my first priority was recruiting you
00:43:25but that manipulative tyrant nelson vale had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives
00:43:33i understand now
00:43:43so
00:43:44should we
00:43:46pick up where we left off in residency
00:43:48you're the boss

00:43:51and as your boss i say
00:43:54come home with me

00:46:01you are completely worthless as surgeons
00:46:03dr marksman
00:46:05the experimental procedures we're trying to replicate here are extraordinarily intricate
00:46:09we need at least uh six months to properly master
00:46:13six months you have 72 hours and i expect hourly updates on my desk
00:46:19sir rushing these delicate procedures
00:46:22dramatically increases the possibility of potentially fatal complications
00:46:25three days
00:46:26then you don't get one hour more
00:46:29go go
00:46:34report dr marksman

00:50:38if i was trying to impress you you even know midnight meetings
00:50:42long hours this work ethic of yours it's a little dangerous
00:50:53that's what bell used to say about me then they fired me

00:51:49do you really think that this is acceptable i give you one simple task and you screw it up
00:51:54how the hell did either of you even finish residency
00:51:59vale general hospital is the gold standard and you two are just standing around like clueless
00:52:04little interns if these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow you're both gone
00:52:10is that clear yes sir this is the man i trusted to lead my surgical team
00:52:16go
00:52:25oh mr vale what a what a what a surprise cut the
00:52:28bullshit marksman we're on schedule or not of course we're we're just refining the final stages
00:52:37yeah everything is under control good there's a problem i expect to hear it from you with no
00:52:43cover-ups of course sir
00:52:48mr fail not now go get me the latest performance reports
00:52:55it uh looks like preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here
00:53:02don't worry when preston makes me chief medical officer i'm gonna need someone
00:53:07flexible in my corner i respect the winning team dr marksman
00:53:19today vale hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next generation surgical program
00:53:25this cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry
00:53:31especially as heart medical's competing program was released on the same day the question now is who
00:53:37will define the future of surgery relax mr vale heart medical doesn't stand a chance
00:53:45i hope you're right for your sake
00:53:48didn't you say that uh if the rollout went well that you'd make me chief medical officer it's not a
00:53:58success yet enjoy tonight's launch party because if our results don't outshine heart medical it'll
00:54:07be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long time
00:54:21dr hart we um have a problem vale hospital's new surgical program launches today that's soon
00:54:29they're hosting a big celebration party tonight it's a good thing we're ahead of
00:54:38you're saying we're ready why would i lie we've been tracking veils every move let him celebrate it's
00:54:45just gonna backfire how exactly does that work in our favor bib do you remember what i told you
00:54:52when you first brought me here preston vale's rushing this he's desperate to beat us to the market
00:54:59and their model's flawed if they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure
00:55:04and their approach we won't have to lift a damn finger and what about when it falls apart
00:55:10then heart medical takes over as the future of modern surgery so you're saying that vale
00:55:16hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that you designed it's the only way they
00:55:21could have gotten this far this fast they're using an early draft full of mistakes that i won't make
00:55:26again they don't even realize the cracks in their foundation that actually makes perfect sense which
00:55:35means we've already won well this is a big day for us we should celebrate what do you have in mind
00:55:42drinks not quite you and i are crashing the veil launch party tonight what why let me worry about that
00:55:51in the meantime ensure a smooth rollout finish whatever procedures you need to and meet me in the lobby

01:05:14officer position say the word now do i have to have somebody escort you out
01:05:19that maneuver that notebook it's mine then tell them
01:05:30where is he going maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program at another fake
01:05:35hospital leaving so soon dr pj's say why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life
01:05:41that procedure david used i invented it what kind of crack are you smoking he's delusional
01:05:55somebody seriously check this guy's medical license the notebook he used to save your father
01:05:59that's mine my handwriting my theories just pissed because he did what you couldn't i'm pissed because
01:06:10you use rudimentary theories as innovation and when it fails and it will
01:06:16you're not the ones that'll pay for it the patients will you can't prove that not yet
01:06:23but you can't fake medicine medicine and science always tell the truth
01:06:34our three's vitals just dropped we've got uncontrolled bleeding second patient today
01:06:38same issue vessel ligation failed mid operation these techniques aren't viable the veil method
01:06:44doesn't hold under stress i mean come on tonight proves it we're ahead of every surgical institute in the country
01:06:51uh i'll be right back just coordinating with the team
01:07:06talk to me the vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again this is the second patient bleeding out tonight
01:07:14use the compression step that only works in control scenarios
01:07:18we told you these procedures weren't fully tested look just follow the notes
01:07:27i designed those techniques for 101 guidance not mass implementation without calibration
01:07:34it's unstable it's dangerous they tried to commercialize your success without you now people are paying for it
01:07:41all good of course just routine coordination routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss
01:07:51your surgical program is failing when patients are suffering you've been out of the field for
01:07:56months you wouldn't know yeah i would know because the procedures that you're butchering i invented and
01:08:03i'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing oh
01:08:08shit
01:08:14oh yes this is dr marksman yeah connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately
01:08:21okay listen very carefully your patient or three is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging
01:08:27because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed no you need to perform a marksman
01:08:34modified pringle maneuver with selective hepatic arterial legation followed by a rapid sequence
01:08:40vascular anatomosis using interrupted six dash zero proline sutures yes yes
01:08:49how do we even know he made a phone call this whole thing is performance charade you stole his methods
01:08:58this entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork uh that's a lie then prove me wrong
01:09:07show them all a technique that i didn't create
01:09:12why would we believe anything he says he was fired humiliated you're right i was fired
01:09:17and the same procedures i pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board
01:09:22as revolutionary yeah you know what this is pathetic he's just jealous he missed his shot
01:09:28is that what you told yourself when you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal
01:09:34even if that were true this isn't the time or the place i think it's exactly the time and place
01:09:47i just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator and thanks to adrian's guidance
01:09:58our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients adrian just cleaned up your mess
01:10:05you took this good man's techniques that weren't ready and you fired him the one person who could make
01:10:12them safe dad you don't see the full picture here oh i'm seeing it perfectly well this hospital was built
01:10:22on trust and integrity and you've disgraced them both your father nearly died because of your ego
01:10:30because of his lies
01:10:31you saved me you saved nelson and now you can save veil i tried to warn you all no one listened
01:10:43they're listening now you deserve to be at veil more than either of those two and probably even more
01:10:51than me it was a mistake to let you go months ago i was fired from veil hospital with procedures still in
01:10:59development they weren't ready they needed supervision precision development instead someone took my
01:11:08notes and tried to fast track them for glory oh you can't prove that security footage
01:11:18of you stealing adrian's notebook from the hospital
01:11:21already submitted to the board i built on what he started okay i i didn't steal i i i enhanced it
01:11:32then why were patients about to die you falsified rollout readiness he did more than that he put lives
01:11:41at risk to prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program we're going to need
01:11:46to open a formal investigation on this this is absurd this was supposed to be our night oh it's your night
01:11:55just not the way you thought it'd be you lied to me i didn't lie i simplified the truth simplify you
01:12:04could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people you nearly killed the president of the hospital
01:12:10you passed up experimental procedures as launch ready that's malpractice they worked nelson's alive
01:12:18look the patients they're alive yeah because of me those methods require sequential tensioning breath
01:12:24control special clamp techniques getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death wait
01:12:30these really are your techniques i tested them for years it was never meant for mass rollout
01:12:36not without training you're rewriting history no you tried to erase him from it adrian marksman was the
01:12:45reason that veil's program had a future and without him it won't this is absurd you're siding with this
01:12:53disgraced former resident he's not disgraced son you are you hijacked a program you didn't understand and
01:13:02then when your ego wasn't enough you propped up this fraud taking his side dad i'm your son i'm taking
01:13:13the side of truth and so will the board we will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning
01:13:20until then both of you are suspended from all surgical and administrative duties suspended no no you can't
01:13:27do that you don't understand the politics of running a hospital we understand the liability that's enough
01:13:32mr press and veil dr david marchman come with us dad you're not gonna often drag me out like this
01:13:42i'm your son no don't you touch me you're not a child hey dad you're not my responsibility

01:14:23love you traded him the second someone flashier walked by
01:14:26you don't understand i thought he was finished i thought he had nothing left so you sold him out

01:14:44didn't care not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser please

01:15:00tried to bury me alive
01:15:01you always belonged in my operating room and i should have fought harder to keep you if i'd only
01:15:16known what was going on behind the scenes the board will vote that preston is removed from the board and
01:15:24david will never go near another patient again we're rebuilding and i want you back as vale's chief
