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.
00:03:56Go home, get some rest.
00:04:13If you go home.
00:04:15Go home, get some rest.
00:04:18they're all stable every single one of them stabilized
00:04:25oh the sun's coming up you must operate it all night you're a machine
00:04:35well that's why they pay me the big bucks all right it's time for some much needed shut eye

00:23:57to you
00:23:58Mr. Vail
00:23:59Vivian
00:24:00I haven't seen you
00:24:01since the John Hopkins
00:24:02symposium

00:24:14this negligent doctor
00:24:15has value?
00:24:16he was sleeping
00:24:17during rounds
00:24:18is this how
00:24:19Vail Hospital
00:24:20discards its
00:24:20exceptional talent?
00:24:23your father
00:24:23built this institution's
00:24:25reputation
00:24:25of medical excellence
00:24:27not petty politics
00:24:29Dr. Hart
00:24:31with all due respect
00:24:33this is a conversation
00:24:34between medical directors
00:24:35someone in your position
00:24:36should recognize
00:24:37when to maintain silence
00:24:38Dr. Hart
00:24:40I must inform you
00:24:41that Dr. Marksman
00:24:42represents a serious liability
00:24:44he compromised
00:24:45patient safety
00:24:46and
00:24:47I don't believe
00:24:47I requested
00:24:48your medical opinion
00:24:49Dr. Marksman
00:24:50David Marksman
00:24:52I have neither time
00:24:53nor interest
00:24:54in your assessment
00:24:55after he
00:24:58decided to go to sleep
00:24:59we had a critical
00:25:01surgical complication
00:25:02his negligence
00:25:03led to the problem
00:25:04his actions
00:25:06not only
00:25:06endangered patients
00:25:07it compromised
00:25:08my hospital's reputation
00:25:09are you really
00:25:12willing to defend
00:25:12someone
00:25:13who violates
00:25:14the Hippocratic Oath?
00:25:16did you actually
00:25:16consult with your father
00:25:17before dismissing
00:25:18Dr. Marksman?
00:25:20of course I consulted
00:25:21my father
00:25:22he's the one
00:25:24who specifically
00:25:25mentioned his
00:25:26dangerous surgical
00:25:27shortcuts
00:25:27and inflated
00:25:28reputation
00:25:29dangerous shortcuts
00:25:30is that what
00:25:32President Vail
00:25:33really said?
00:25:34his exact words
00:25:35were
00:25:35remove him
00:25:36at first opportunity
00:25:37President Vail
00:25:38was the one
00:25:39that recruited me
00:25:39this makes
00:25:40absolutely no sense
00:25:41please Adrian
00:25:42the president
00:25:43wouldn't personally
00:25:44recruit a mid-level
00:25:45surgeon like you
00:25:46those gala
00:25:47invitations
00:25:48were professional
00:25:49courtesy
00:25:50not
00:25:51genuine respect
00:25:52well if that's the way
00:25:53things work
00:25:54at Vail
00:25:54I have nothing
00:25:55more to contribute
00:25:55to any of you
00:25:57Dr. Marksman
00:25:58would you consider
00:25:59joining Hart Medical Center
00:26:01as our chief of surgery?
00:26:04well I've
00:26:05full department
00:26:06autonomy
00:26:06protected research time
00:26:08a surgical fellowship
00:26:10in your name
00:26:11and a seven figure
00:26:13salary package
00:26:44And cash.
00:26:46Dr. Marksman, I want you to revolutionize our surgery program.
00:26:51Hopefully this shows you.
00:26:53I mean what I say.
00:27:01Chief of surgery?
00:27:05You're offering all this to a surgeon who can't even keep his eyes open on the job?
00:27:10Dr. Hart, have you completely lost your medical judgment or are you on drugs?
00:27:15This is absurd.
00:27:16He was a mediocre surgeon here at Vail.
00:27:19And now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department?
00:27:24Medical board should review your hiring practices.
00:27:29Vivian, I appreciate your confidence.
00:27:33This isn't about money.
00:27:35Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you.
00:27:41She's offering herself up to him.
00:27:43She can't do that.
00:27:44Are you a doctor or a call girl?
00:27:47At Hart Medical Center, 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.
00:27:57And I don't mean anything, Dr. Marksman.
00:28:02Dr. Hart, for the sake of your own reputation, you need to know that this hack you're so eagerly pursuing has a documented history of negligence.
00:28:12My father confirmed it himself.
00:28:14Is that precisely what Nelson Vail told you?
00:28:18His exact words.
00:28:20Negligence, Serge?
00:28:22What are those?
00:28:25Personal gifts from your father?
00:28:27My fellowship offer?
00:28:32My personal research lab?
00:28:34My surgical team?
00:28:36I'm leaving it all behind.
00:28:39You can tell President Vail that as of this moment, Dr. Marksman has permanently withdrawn from Vail Hospital and all of its affiliated institutions.
00:28:49You know what?
00:28:50Spare us the theatrics, Adrian.
00:28:52You never deserve those privileges in the first place.
00:28:54The medical board is going to see that justice is done.
00:28:58Oh, your stupidity, it's just astonishing.
00:29:04You treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels.
00:29:08This man is a life-saving artist.
00:29:14Dr. Hart, I understand there's some competition between your center and Vail Hospital.
00:29:19Yeah, look, I'll be real.
00:29:22We're struggling to get out from under their shadow.
00:29:24Look, I'd be happy to help you out with that.
00:29:26Take me on, and I'll transform Hart into the number one surgical institution in the country.
00:29:32Look at yourself, Adrian.
00:29:35Offering your skills to a struggling clinic.
00:29:37How pathetically desperate.
00:29:40Oh.
00:29:40A backstabbing bottom feeder like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his caliber.
00:29:46How dare you talk to me like that!
00:29:49Your malpractice has caused catastrophic damage to my hospital's reputation.
00:29:55As the responsible party, I demand that you issue a formal apology to one of the major medical journals.
00:30:02And with an explanation to every affected Vail 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.
00:30:15It's absurd.
00:30:16What exactly do you think you're going to do about it?
00:30:19You've got no choice but to sign this confession.
00:30:21Oh, stop threatening my chief surgeon.
00:30:23If you insist on pursuing this vendetta, have your attorney send a formal complaint to Hart Medical Center.
00:30:30We'll consider it nothing less than a declaration of total war.
00:30:35If it's war you want, I will obliterate your dime store clinic with everything that I've got.
00:30:42Let's go.
00:30:44One more second and this cesspool's going to make me physically ill.
00:30:53Mr. Vail, don't you waste another precious moment on those second-rate practitioners.
00:31:02David, you've proven your loyalty.
00:31:05The chief of surgery position is yours, effective immediately.
00:31:09This is extraordinary.
00:31:12I am honored beyond words.
00:31:17Don't forget about me, Preston.
00:31:20Don't worry, babe.
00:31:21You will be thoroughly compensated for your loyalty.
00:31:26How exciting.
00:31:29Mr. Vail, I swear on my medical oath that I will not disappoint you.
00:31:35Mr. Vail, a commuter train derailed.
00:31:37Six critical patients incoming.
00:31:39Dr. Marksman, OR1 now.
00:31:41Now's your time to shine, Dr. Marksman.
00:31:43Shit.
00:31:43I'm screwed.
00:31:44Adrian's surgical journal with all his proprietary techniques is still in my office.
00:31:48If Preston finds out, I stole it and then couldn't even use it properly.
00:31:53I implemented a groundbreaking surgical protocol that I invented myself.
00:31:59These techniques are revolutionary.
00:32:01I'll walk you through it in detail after the emergency.
00:32:04It's impressive, Dr. Marksman.
00:32:06You've obviously got your own methodology.
00:32:08No need to bore me with the specifics.
00:32:10I trust your brilliance.
00:32:12Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:32:14With you leading my surgical team, I can focus on what really matters.
00:32:18Hospital expansion.
00:32:21Again, sir, I'm deeply honored.
00:32:23Behold, Vail Hospital's new chief of surgery.
00:32:33Let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now.
00:32:40Glad you're feeling better, honey.
00:32:42Yeah.
00:32:43Oh, sorry.
00:32:44Who's this?
00:32:49Nelson Vail speaking.
00:32:50President Vail.
00:32:51Dr. Vivian Hart here.
00:32:53I am calling to let you know that as of this morning,
00:32:57Hart Medical Center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena.
00:33:01Revolutionary surgical procedures are Vail Hospital's domain.
00:33:06Are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight?
00:33:09This is merely a professional courtesy call, not an invitation for debate.
00:33:13Now, just...
00:33:19What's that conniving bitch plotting?
00:33:22She knows Adrian is our surgical secret weapon.
00:33:26Why would she deliberately provoke a medical war she has absolutely no chance of winning?
00:33:36Unless...
00:33:36Dad, we've got multiple traumas coming in.
00:33:43Just tell me you didn't fire Dr. Marksman.
00:33:46Dad, relax.
00:33:48I fired the other one.
00:33:49That incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned.
00:33:52Then explain to me why Hart Medical Center believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy.
00:33:58Because I masterfully led Vivian Hart into a false sense of reality.
00:34:04It's not a way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures.
00:34:09I convinced Vivian that she's acquired surgical brilliance.
00:34:13But in reality, she's hired our disgraced, discarded loser.
00:34:16So you deliberately manipulated Vivian?
00:34:19She thinks she's hired genius behind Vail Hospital's groundbreaking procedures.
00:34:25That's why she had the audacity to declare war on you.
00:34:27Impressive, son.
00:34:29You're finally showing some of the leadership qualities.
00:34:32I've been waiting to see out of you.
00:34:33I think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division.
00:34:38Dad, this is everything I've worked for.
00:34:44We'll get to work immediately.
00:34:46We're going to expose Hart Medical Center for the low-grade institution it truly is.
00:34:53Their humiliation will be quick and absolute.
00:34:57I won't let you down.
00:35:00Darling, surgical innovation is the future of Vail.
00:35:04Preston only got his MBA last year.
00:35:06Do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program?
00:35:11I would never take a risk like this if Preston was our only asset.
00:35:16Remember, we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon.
00:35:21You mean the surgeon that saved my life?
00:35:23Dr. Adrian Marksman.
00:35:25Exactly.
00:35:26And all I need to do is stay hands-off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents.
00:35:35As long as Adrian is with Vail Hospital, Hart Medical Center has no chance of competing.
00:35:43Not only that, Vivian fell for Preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster, Dr. David Marksman.
00:35:52What we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble.
00:35:59So, now that you've seen the surgical department, what do you think?
00:36:11It's not bad.
00:36:13It's a small team, but they're talented.
00:36:15What you've built here, it's impressive, Viv.
00:36:18It's good to see you again after all these years, Adrian.
00:36:24You too.
00:36:26We need to expand.
00:36:28It's too small for what I'm planning.
00:36:31Also, I heard you weren't the only surgeon Preston Vail fired.
00:36:36We have all the angles figured out, don't you?
00:36:43And I always find the best one.
00:36:53I'm going to start recruiting.
00:36:56Good.
00:36:57The faster we rise, the more rewarding this partnership becomes.
00:37:15This better be good.
00:37:18Mr. Vail, you wanted to see me?
00:37:21My father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department.
00:37:30Given your new position as chief of surgery, I'm appointing you head of innovation.
00:37:36Mr. Vail, I, uh...
00:37:37Is there an issue with that?
00:37:39No, absolutely not.
00:37:41The budget for innovation is astronomical, and President Vail has already handed control to his son?
00:37:47If I oversee these procedures, I could divert significant resources to my personal research.
00:37:54Mr. Vail, you can trust me completely.
00:37:57I am precisely the right man for the job.
00:38:02Preston, we have a catastrophe on our hands.
00:38:04Two attending surgeons just submitted their resignation simultaneously.
00:38:07The department can't possibly maintain its caseload.
00:38:09What?
00:38:10They both resigned at once?
00:38:11What was their explanation?
00:38:12They refused to disclose their reasons.
00:38:14But there's talk they were recruited by a former Vail physician.
00:38:17Along with the three other surgeons you fired before.
00:38:19Former physician, Adrian Marksman.
00:38:21This has his saboteur signature all over it.
00:38:24President, what's our contingency plan?
00:38:26The surgical department is severely understaffed.
00:38:29If any more surgeons leave, patients will suffer.
00:38:31Okay, everybody needs to remain calm.
00:38:35You still have me.
00:38:37I can rebuild this department.
00:38:40Ah, yes.
00:38:41With your stellar reputation, we should be able to get the best of the best.
00:38:44Exactly.
00:38:45So we lost some second-rate talent.
00:38:48Let him go.
00:38:50I'll make some calls to Cedars-Sinai and UCLA.
00:38:56Good work, Marksman.
00:39:00This is working out perfectly.
00:39:02Now I can install my own allies in key positions.
00:39:05Soon, I'll control the entire hospital's medical direction.
00:39:08It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Hart.
00:39:34This is Dr. Parker here.
00:39:39He's a triple board certified surgeon.
00:39:42And soon, he'll be the head of trauma surgery.
00:39:44This is Dr. Rose, Chen, Rose, and Thomas.
00:39:49All consummate professionals.
00:39:51My most trusted colleagues back at Vail.
00:39:53With this surgical team, Hart Medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country.
00:40:03Actually, the whole world.
00:40:05We're eager to begin, Dr. Hart.
00:40:06Well, welcome to Hart Medical Center.
00:40:10I 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 Vail Hospital's dominance.
00:40:23Have no fear, Dr. Hart.
00:40:24With Adrian leading our team, we'll be three steps ahead of anything Vail attempts.
00:40:29Yes, but Vail has already implemented Adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols.
00:40:35Yeah, about that.
00:40:37It's a preliminary version.
00:40:39If they continue to develop this approach without modification...
00:40:41Then what?
00:40:42A lot of deaths.
00:40:44A lot of lawsuits.
00:40:46A lot of patients could be harmed.
00:40:47Or worse, these procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement.
00:40:52Those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training without that foundation.
00:40:59We're talking about serious complications.
00:41:02Preventable harm.
00:41:03Our first priority has to be patient safety.
00:41:06We need to perfect these procedures.
00:41:08And then we can find a way to prevent Vail from continuing with the flawed protocols.
00:41:13Exactly.
00:41:14It's not about competition or pride.
00:41:16It's about saving lives.
00:41:17We're using our experience with the trial procedures I did at Vail to develop next-generation surgical techniques,
00:41:27eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies.
00:41:31Even if Vail Hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new,
00:41:37we'll maintain our significant advantage.
00:41:39And if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols, rest assured, their outcomes will deteriorate.
00:41:47I don't wish it upon their patients, that's for sure.
00:41:50Remember this moment.
00:41:52In this battle for medical supremacy, Heart Medical Center will emerge victorious.
00:42:04It's 3 a.m.
00:42:06Lost track of time again.
00:42:07Yeah.
00:42:09Viv, you surprised me.
00:42:16Looks like you could use a nice rub.
00:42:19Do you mind?
00:42:21No.
00:42:23I mean, yeah.
00:42:26Will you give all your surgeons massages?
00:42:29Only the ones I really, really like.
00:42:37You really, really like me?
00:42:39Adrienne, I've really, really liked you since residency.
00:42:43Nothing's changed.
00:42:45You 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.
00:42:59And then you just vanished from the program.
00:43:03Well, I left to join the experimental surgical fellowship in Switzerland.
00:43:07I know.
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.
00:43:18You know, when I established Heart Medical Center, my first priority was recruiting you.
00:43:25But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Vale, had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives.
00:43:33So, should we pick up where we left off in residency?
00:43:47You're the boss.
00:43:48You're the boss.
00:43:49That's right.
00:43:51And as your boss, I say, come home with me.
00:43:56Tonight?
00:43:57You lost everything when Preston fired you.
00:44:00Hospital privileges, research funding, even your hospital subsidized apartment.
00:44:07You have literally nowhere else to go tonight.
00:44:13Come with me.
00:44:16Where?
00:44:18My place.
00:44:27All right.
00:44:28I'll admit it.
00:44:30That was the best meal I've had in months.
00:44:32Careful, Dr. Marksman.
00:44:34I might start thinking you're easy to please.
00:44:37That just depends on the company.
00:44:40Well, starting tonight, this is your new home.
00:44:44Until the program's fully established, it just makes sense.
00:44:48Are you sure about that?
00:44:49We already work late hours.
00:44:52Living together could get complicated.
00:44:56Well, I like complicated.
00:44:58Keeps things interesting.
00:45:01And where exactly will I be sleeping?
00:45:04Well,
00:45:07My master suite has a California king.
00:45:15Plenty of room.
00:45:17If things ever need to get more collaborative.
00:45:21I'll show you your room.
00:45:23Really?
00:45:25Relax.
00:45:26I'm only teasing.
00:45:29Tonight, at least.
00:45:31Come on.
00:45:34I'll show you your room.
00:45:35Unless you'd rather have a nightcap.
00:45:40And mine.
00:45:47Things could get dangerous.
00:45:49Is this pathetic attempt really the best that you can do?
00:45:56You 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 six months to properly master.
00:46:13Six months?
00:46:14You have 72 hours.
00:46:16And I expect hourly updates on my desk.
00:46:19Sir, brushing these delicate procedures dramatically increases the possibility of potentially fatal complications.
00:46:25Three days.
00:46:26And you don't get one hour more.
00:46:29Go.
00:46:29Go.
00:46:34Report, Dr. Marksman.
00:46:36What's our status?
00:46:37Excellent progress, Mr. Vale.
00:46:38We will be advancing to phase two implementation within three days.
00:46:43That's exactly what I wanted to hear.
00:46:45I knew my judgment in appointing you was flawless.
00:46:53Preston, I need an update on the experimental surgery program.
00:46:57Everything's proceeding perfectly, Father.
00:46:59Outstanding.
00:47:00When this is done, I'll throw you a huge party to celebrate the launch.
00:47:04Your father must be so proud of you.
00:47:07Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:47:09I'll make sure my father understands your invaluable contribution.
00:47:13This is my shot.
00:47:14Why settle for chief of surgery?
00:47:16With the right maneuvering, I could become the next chief medical officer of Vale Hospital.
00:47:21Mr. Vale, my purpose is to execute the visionary medical strategies of brilliant administrators such as yourself.
00:47:29I believe that in the position of chief medical officer, I could implement your ideas more effectively throughout the entire hospital.
00:47:37If these procedures prove successful, I will personally discuss your advancement with the board.
00:47:42Truly, that's...
00:47:43I am profoundly grateful, sir.
00:48:00You're finally awake.
00:48:07You can keep appreciating the view while you eat.
00:48:15All right.
00:48:16Ooh, breakfast.
00:48:18Looks good.
00:48:23When you're finished eating, we'll head directly to the surgical wing.
00:48:26Sound good?
00:48:26Yes.
00:48:27Absolutely.
00:48:28Good.
00:48:30Get it up and running, and there may be a special bonus waiting for you.
00:48:39Extra special.
00:48:49Okay, team.
00:48:50We're approaching a critical phase of our program development.
00:48:53We have groundbreaking procedures that we need to perfect in very little time, so let's get to it.
00:48:59Start revolutionizing medicine.
00:49:01I have excellent news for all of you.
00:49:03I've just finalized arrangements with the board, and upon successful implementation of our surgical
00:49:09innovations, each of you will receive a fully funded medical mission trip anywhere in the world that
00:49:15you choose to share your expertise.
00:49:17And when the time comes that our procedures receive national certification,
00:49:23every surgeon on this team will be gifted a percentage of the royalties from any techniques we patent.
00:49:31At Heart Medical Center, our surgeons are the lifeblood of our institution, and you will be compensated accordingly.
00:49:42Dr. Heart, we are fully committed to making this surgical program a success.
00:49:46Absolutely. You'll be seeing progress ASAP.
00:49:50Vail Hospital won't know what hit him. With Adrian leading us, victory is guaranteed.
00:49:54Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best. Heart is best.
00:50:00Heart is best. Heart is best.
00:50:29you always this disciplined
00:50:33or are you just trying to impress me
00:50:36if I was trying to impress you you even know

00:50:42long hours
00:50:45this work ethic of yours
00:50:48it's a little dangerous
00:50:50that's what Belle used to say about me
00:50:55then they fired me
00:50:59and they were fools
00:51:01you've earned more than just respect here Adrian
00:51:06you know that right

00:51:51I give you one simple task and you screw it up
00:51:54how the hell did either of you even finish residency
00:51:57Vail General Hospital is the gold standard
00:52:02and you two are just standing around like clueless little interns
00:52:05if these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow
00:52:08you're both gone
00:52:09is that clear?
00:52:11yes sir

00:53:12today Vail hospital officially launched
00:53:21its highly anticipated
00:53:22next generation surgical program
00:53:25this cutting-edge approach to surgical care
00:53:27is being closely watched by the medical industry
00:53:30especially as heart medical's competing program
00:53:33was released on the same day
00:53:35the question now is
00:53:37who will define the future of surgery
00:53:39relax Mr. Vail
00:53:41heart medical doesn't stand a chance
00:53:44I hope you're right
00:53:46for your sake
00:53:49didn't you say that uh
00:53:53if the rollout went well
00:53:54that you'd make me
00:53:55chief medical officer
00:53:57it's not a success
00:53:59yet
00:54:00enjoy tonight's launch party
00:54:03because if our results
00:54:05don't outshine heart medical
00:54:06it'll be the last thing
00:54:07you have to celebrate
00:54:08for a long time
00:54:09Dr. Hurt we um
00:54:22have a problem
00:54:23Vail hospital's new surgical program
00:54:27launches today

00:54:29they're hosting a big celebration party
00:54:31tonight
00:54:32it's a good thing we're ahead of
00:54:36you're saying we're ready
00:54:39why would I lie
00:54:40we've been tracking Vail's every move
00:54:43let him celebrate
00:54:45it's just gonna backfire
00:54:46how exactly does that work in our favor?
00:54:49babe do you remember
00:54:51do you remember what I told you
00:54:52when you first brought me here?
00:54:55Preston Vail's rushing this
00:54:57he's desperate to beat us to the market
00:54:58and?
00:54:59their model's flawed
00:55:00if they keep moving forward
00:55:03without realizing
00:55:03their structural failure
00:55:04and their approach
00:55:05we won't have to lift a damn finger
00:55:08and what about when it falls apart?
00:55:11then heart medical takes over
00:55:12as the future of modern surgery
00:55:13so you're saying
00:55:16that Vail hospital
00:55:17has been refining
00:55:18the prototype surgical method
00:55:19that you designed
00:55:20it's the only way
00:55:21they could have gotten
00:55:21this far this fast
00:55:23they're using an early draft
00:55:25full of mistakes
00:55:26that I won't make again
00:55:27they don't even realize
00:55:29the cracks in their foundation
00:55:30that actually
00:55:32makes perfect sense
00:55:34which means
00:55:36we've already won

00:57:39It's 20 in one day.
00:58:04All clean, all stable.
00:58:06Experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.
00:58:09You did it.
00:58:11No, we didn't.
00:58:16Dr. Marksman, you have to get to Vail's launch party pronto.
00:58:19You're already late.
00:58:20I need a change there.
00:58:21You don't have time.
00:58:22Where's Vivian?
00:58:25Taking care of something.
00:58:27She said it's really important that you be there and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:58:32Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vail Hospital's revolutionary surgical program.
00:58:39What the fuck?
00:58:53You're my date and you're wasted.
00:58:55I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.
00:58:57Yeah, God knows why I chose you, but I did.
00:59:01So if you want to keep your job and your status sober up for God's sakes.
00:59:04Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?
00:59:26It's giving orderly sheep.
00:59:29Maybe he's here to bust tables.
00:59:35What are you doing at our launch party?
00:59:37You weren't invited.
00:59:38You're so sure about that?
00:59:39I mean, look at you.
00:59:40This is a black tie.
00:59:42I mean, not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is.
00:59:44Oh, look who crawled in from the gutter.
00:59:49The failed surgeon.
00:59:51The fraud.
00:59:53The nobody.
00:59:55Show up to my party in dirty scrubs, Marksman?
00:59:58Thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the low lives.
01:00:01Guess I need to fire them, too.
01:00:03Pardon me.
01:00:03I just came straight from surgery.
01:00:05Because some of us here are real surgeons.
01:00:08What are you trying to say?
01:00:09I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody, isn't me.
01:00:18I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.
01:00:22Got some nerve talking to my man Marksman like that.
01:00:26A genius like him leading our surgical team?
01:00:29You won't be able to get anywhere near our next party.
01:00:31Yeah, because it'll happen in prison when you're all arrested for medical malpractice, criminal negligence, and identity theft.
01:00:40What are you talking about?
01:00:43Identity theft?
01:00:45Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?
01:00:47Yours?
01:00:48Let me give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.
01:00:51If you don't got it, at least act like you do.
01:00:54Speaking from experience.
01:00:57Look around you.
01:00:58This is the elite among the elite.
01:01:02The best of the best in the medical field.
01:01:04Just because you waltz in here and you're dirty, cheap scrubs, doesn't make you one of us.
01:01:09Good.
01:01:09I'm glad.
01:01:10Because you're all beneath me.
01:01:13Isn't that right, Dr. Marksman?
01:01:15That's enough.
01:01:16Guards?
01:01:18This former employee's threatening us.
01:01:21Kick him out.
01:01:23Touch me and you'll regret it.
01:01:24I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:01:30What are you dumbasses doing?
01:01:32Grab him.
01:01:32Christy.
01:01:35What the hell is this?
01:01:50Dad.
01:01:51Relax.
01:01:52I, uh...
01:01:53Relax?
01:01:55This twat came in un-invite.
01:01:56I was just kicking him out.
01:01:57Guards!
01:01:58Remove him immediately.
01:01:59President Vail, it truly is an honor to finally meet you.
01:02:02You get out of my way.
01:02:04Dad, what are you doing?
01:02:05This is, this is, this is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...
01:02:09You are such a fool!
01:02:13Dad.
01:02:14What are you, what are you doing?
01:02:16Open your eyes, Preston.
01:02:18This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...
01:02:22You are a...
01:02:24Disgraced!
01:02:26Dad!
01:02:28My hospital meant something and...
01:02:30You turned it into a...
01:02:32Into a...
01:02:33Dad!
01:02:35Dad!
01:02:40Dad!
01:02:42President Vail.
01:02:44Fuck away from my dad!
01:02:46Are you out of your mind?
01:02:47He is the best surgeon in this room.
01:02:48Oh, yeah, like you give a shit about saving my dad.
01:02:51I'll die before I trust you two.
01:02:53Somebody get me a real doctor!
01:02:55David!
01:02:56David!
01:02:56Do something!
01:02:57It's cold!
01:03:02Can't think of what to do next?
01:03:05Blanking?
01:03:06Can't think of a diagnosis?
01:03:07Shut up!
01:03:08Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?
01:03:11This is ridiculous.
01:03:12I thought this David guy was a genius.
01:03:15Are you just standing there?
01:03:16Do something!
01:03:17What's the matter, David?
01:03:20If you need help, just ask.
01:03:23All you have to do is admit what you did.
01:03:25Right here.
01:03:26Right now.
01:03:28I can't blow my cover, but...
01:03:30What if I kill him?
01:03:32I don't know anything about surgeries.
01:03:35I don't even know what's wrong with them.
01:03:37I did medical school on Zoom.
01:03:39David!
01:03:40This is a matter of life and death.
01:03:43Let it go!
01:03:44I...
01:03:46I...
01:03:46I...
01:03:47I can't.
01:03:50I can't do this.
01:03:53Okay, I can't...
01:03:55I can't do this.
01:03:56I can't do this without my notebook.
01:04:00That's my surgical notebook.
01:04:05He stole it from me.
01:04:13Okay, okay.
01:04:15I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.
01:04:18I can't do this.
01:04:19I can't do this.
01:04:20I can't do this.
01:04:21I can't do this.
01:04:22I can't do this.
01:04:23I can't do this.
01:04:24I can't do this.
01:04:25I can't do this.
01:04:26Okay.
01:04:27All right, hold his head.
01:04:28But tilt it back and apply pressure here.
01:04:31Okay.
01:04:32Okay.
01:04:33Okay.
01:04:34Okay.
01:04:35Okay.
01:04:36Okay.
01:04:37Okay.
01:04:38Okay.
01:04:39Okay.
01:04:40Great.
01:04:41Pull.
01:04:42Pull.
01:04:43Pull.
01:04:44Oh, thank God.
01:04:45How are you?
01:04:46What up?
01:04:48Oh, that's my guy.
01:04:51Surgical genius.
01:04:52Oh.
01:04:53That's how Val makes history.
01:04:55Somebody get this man a medal.
01:04:56Or at least a new department.
01:04:57If you still want that chief medical officer position, say the word.
01:05:01Now, do I have to have somebody escort you out?
01:05:04That maneuver.
01:05:05That notebook.
01:05:06It's mine.
01:05:07Then tell them.
01:05:08Where is he going?
01:05:09Where is he going?
01:05:10No.
01:05:11No.
01:05:12No.
01:05:13No.
01:05:14No.
01:05:15No.
01:05:16No.
01:05:17No.
01:05:18No.
01:05:19No.
01:05:20No.
01:05:21No.
01:05:22No.
01:05:23No.
01:05:24No.
01:05:25No.
01:05:26No.
01:05:27No.
01:05:28No.
01:05:29No.
01:05:30No.
01:05:31No.
01:05:32Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program at another fake hospital.
01:05:37Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?
01:05:38Say, hey, why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life?
01:05:41That procedure David used.
01:05:48I invented it.
01:05:50What kind of crack are you smoking?
01:05:52He's delusional.
01:05:54Somebody seriously check this guy's medical license.
01:05:57The notebook he used to save your father.
01:06:00That's mine.
01:06:02My handwriting, my theories.
01:06:05You're just pissed because he did what you couldn't.
01:06:09I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories as innovation.
01:06:13And when it fails, and it will,
01:06:18you're not the ones that'll pay for it.
01:06:20The patients will.
01:06:21You can't prove that.
01:06:23Not yet.
01:06:25But you can't fake medicine.
01:06:28Medicine and science.
01:06:29Always tell the truth.
01:06:34Our three's vitals has just dropped.
01:06:36We've got uncontrolled bleeding.
01:06:37Second patient today.
01:06:38Same issue.
01:06:39Vessel ligation failed mid-operation.
01:06:42These techniques aren't viable.
01:06:43The veil method doesn't hold under stress.
01:06:47I mean, come on.
01:06:48Tonight proves it.
01:06:49We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country.
01:06:51I'll be right back.
01:07:01Just coordinating with the team.
01:07:06Talk to me.
01:07:06The vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again.
01:07:09This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.
01:07:11Use the compression step.
01:07:15That only works in control scenarios.
01:07:18We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.
01:07:22Look, just follow the notes.
01:07:23I designed those techniques for one-on-one guidance.
01:07:30Not mass implementation.
01:07:32Without calibration.
01:07:34It's unstable.
01:07:36It's dangerous.
01:07:37They tried to commercialize your success without you.
01:07:40Now people are paying for it.
01:07:41All good?
01:07:44Of course.
01:07:46Just routine coordination.
01:07:48Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.
01:07:52Your surgical program is failing.
01:07:53And patients are suffering.
01:07:55You've been out of the field for months.
01:07:57You wouldn't know.
01:07:58Yeah, I would know.
01:07:59Because the procedures that you're butchering, I invented.
01:08:03And I'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing.
01:08:07Bullshit.
01:08:11Oh, yes.
01:08:15This is Dr. Marksman.
01:08:17Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:08:21Okay, listen very carefully.
01:08:23Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging
01:08:27because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.
01:08:32No, you need to perform a Marksman-modified Pringle maneuver
01:08:35with selective hepatic arterial legation
01:08:38followed by a rapid-sequence vascular anatomosis
01:08:41using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures.
01:08:46Yes.
01:08:48Yes.
01:08:49How do we even know he made a phone call?
01:08:54His whole thing is performance, a charade.
01:08:56You stole his methods.
01:08:58This entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork.
01:09:04Uh, that's a lie.
01:09:05Then prove me wrong.
01:09:07Show them all a technique that I didn't create.
01:09:09Why would we believe anything he says?
01:09:14He was fired.
01:09:15He was humiliated.
01:09:16You're right.
01:09:17I was fired.
01:09:18And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed
01:09:21and sold back to the board as revolutionary.
01:09:24You know what?
01:09:25This is pathetic.
01:09:26He's just jealous.
01:09:27He missed his shot.
01:09:28Is that what you told yourself?
01:09:30When you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal?
01:09:33Well, even if that were true, this isn't the time or the place.
01:09:38I think it's exactly the time and place.
01:09:52I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator.
01:09:56And thanks to Adrian's guidance,
01:09:58our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients.
01:10:01Adrian just cleaned up your mess.
01:10:05You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready
01:10:08and you fired him.
01:10:10The one person who could make them safe.
01:10:15Dad, you don't see the full picture here.
01:10:18Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.
01:10:20This hospital was built on trust and integrity
01:10:23and you've disgraced them both.
01:10:26Your father nearly died because of your ego.
01:10:29Because of his lies.
01:10:33You saved me.
01:10:35You saved Nelson.
01:10:37And now you can save Vale.
01:10:40I tried to warn you all.
01:10:42No one listened.
01:10:43They're listening now.
01:10:45You deserve to be at Vale
01:10:47more than either of those two.
01:10:50And probably even more than me.
01:10:52It was a mistake to let you go.
01:10:56Months ago, I was fired from Vale Hospital
01:10:58with procedures still in development.
01:11:01They weren't ready.
01:11:02They needed supervision.
01:11:05Precision.
01:11:06Development.
01:11:07Instead, someone took my notes
01:11:08and tried to fast track them for glory.
01:11:11Oh.
01:11:12You can't prove that.
01:11:14Security footage
01:11:15of you stealing Adrian's notebook
01:11:20from the hospital.
01:11:22Already submitted to the board.
01:11:25I built on what he started.
01:11:28Okay?
01:11:29I didn't steal.
01:11:30I enhanced it.
01:11:32Then why were patients about to die?
01:11:35You falsified rollout readiness?
01:11:38He did more than that.
01:11:39He put lives at risk
01:11:41to prove that he was smarter
01:11:43than the guy
01:11:44that actually created the program.
01:11:45We're going to need to open
01:11:47a formal investigation on this.
01:11:49This is absurd.
01:11:51This was supposed to be our night.
01:11:53Oh, it's your night.
01:11:55It's just not the way you thought it'd be.
01:11:57You lied to me.
01:11:59I didn't lie.
01:12:00I simplified the truth.
01:12:02Simplify?
01:12:03You could have caused serious harm
01:12:05to countless innocent people.
01:12:07You nearly killed the president
01:12:09of the hospital.
01:12:11You passed up experimental procedures
01:12:12as launch ready.
01:12:14That's malpractice.
01:12:15They worked.
01:12:17Nelson's alive.
01:12:18Look, the patients, they're alive.
01:12:20Yeah, because of me.
01:12:21Those methods require
01:12:22sequential tensioning,
01:12:24breath control,
01:12:25special clamp techniques.
01:12:27Getting one beat wrong
01:12:27is the difference between life and death.
01:12:29Wait, these really are your techniques.
01:12:32I tested them for years.
01:12:34It was never meant for mass rollout.
01:12:36It's not without training.
01:12:39You're rewriting history?
01:12:41No, you tried to erase him from it.
01:12:43Adrian Marksman was the reason
01:12:45that Vale's program had a future.
01:12:48And without him, it won't.
01:12:50This is absurd!
01:12:52You're siding with this disgraced
01:12:54former resident?
01:12:55He's not disgraced, son.
01:12:57You are.
01:12:58You hijacked a program
01:13:01you didn't understand.
01:13:02And then when your ego
01:13:03wasn't enough,
01:13:05you propped up this
01:13:07fraud.
01:13:10Taking his side, dad?
01:13:12I'm your son.
01:13:13I'm taking the side of truth.
01:13:16And so will the board.
01:13:17We will be convening
01:13:18an emergency session
01:13:19tomorrow morning.
01:13:20Until then,
01:13:21both of you are suspended
01:13:22from all surgical
01:13:23and administrative duties.
01:13:25Suspended?
01:13:26No, no, no.
01:13:26You can't do that.
01:13:27You don't understand
01:13:28the politics
01:13:28of running a hospital.
01:13:30We understand the liability.
01:13:31That's enough.
01:13:34Mr. Preston Vale,
01:13:36Dr. David Marksman,
01:13:38come with us.
01:13:40Dad,
01:13:41you're not going to laugh
01:13:41and drag me out like this.
01:13:42I'm your son.
01:13:43No, don't you touch me.
01:13:45You're not a child.
01:13:46Hey, dad!
01:13:47I'm a son of a bitch!
01:13:49You're just kidding, son of a...
01:13:50Dad!
01:13:50Get off me!
01:13:51Get off me!
01:13:52I'm just...
01:13:53I'm not a child!
01:13:55You're not my responsibility.
01:14:03Adrian, please.
01:14:05I made a mistake.
01:14:06I see that now.
01:14:07I should have believed in you.
01:14:09I should have stood by you.
01:14:11You were right about everything.
01:14:16Just give me a second chance.
01:14:18Please!
01:14:20I still love you.
01:14:23Love,
01:14:23you traded him
01:14:25the second someone flashier walked by.
01:14:27You don't understand.
01:14:29I thought he was finished.
01:14:32I thought he had nothing left.
01:14:33So you sold him out.
01:14:35Mocked him.
01:14:37Over and over again.
01:14:39I was scared.
01:14:40I...
01:14:41I didn't know what to do.
01:14:42Oh, you knew.
01:14:43You just didn't care.
01:14:44Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser.
01:14:49Please.
01:14:51Say something.
01:14:54Anything.
01:14:55You had your chance, Fiona.
01:14:57And you spent it holding Preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive.
01:15:01You always belonged in my operating room.
01:15:12And I should have fought harder to keep you if I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes.
01:15:18The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board.
01:15:23And David will never go near another patient again.
01:15:27We're rebuilding.
01:15:28And I want you back
01:15:30as Vale's chief
01:15:32of experimental surgery.
01:15:36I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.
01:15:39You had your chance, too.
01:15:41I'm not the same man that you fired.
01:15:44Oh.
01:15:44All the more reason we need you back at Vale.
01:15:47Adrian 2.0.
01:15:49I'm not coming back.
01:15:53You're choosing her?
01:15:55Our rival?
01:15:56You arrogant little ingrate.
01:15:58I open the door for you
01:16:00and you slam it in my face.
01:16:03Just typical.
01:16:05Just when you had your moment,
01:16:07you turned your back on it
01:16:08for, for what, her?
01:16:10She's just going to use you up
01:16:11and toss you aside like everyone else.
01:16:14Oh.
01:16:15Projecting much, Nelson.
01:16:17Get me out of here.
01:16:19Now!
01:16:20Oh.
01:16:25Oh!
01:16:28Corma has good timing.
01:16:41Speaking of timing,
01:16:42we should get back to work.
01:16:44We have lives to save.
01:16:46Hey!
01:16:48Not so fast,
01:16:49Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.
01:16:52I still owe you that
01:16:54extra special bonus.
01:16:58Now?
01:16:59We'll just win a time like the present.
01:17:08This is what victory tastes like.
01:17:11It's not bad.
01:17:12I need a second opinion.
01:17:17Well, I've got all night.
01:17:18And you're not leaving this room
01:17:20until I've properly celebrated
01:17:22my genius surgeon.
01:17:24Should I be afraid
01:17:25of a performance review?
01:17:26You're already
01:17:28exceeding expectations.
01:17:30But I am very
01:17:32thorough.
01:17:39Getting fired
01:17:40was the best thing
01:17:41that ever happened to me.
01:17:44Besides being you,
01:17:45of course.
01:17:45I'm sorry.
01:17:46I'm sorry.
01:17:47I'm sorry.
01:17:48I'm sorry.
01:17:49I'm sorry.
01:17:50I'm sorry.
01:17:51I'm sorry.
01:17:52I'm sorry.
01:17:53I'm sorry.
01:17:54I'm sorry.
01:17:55I'm sorry.
01:17:56I'm sorry.
01:17:57I'm sorry.
01:17:58I'm sorry.
01:17:59I'm sorry.
01:18:00I'm sorry.
01:18:01I'm sorry.
01:18:02I'm sorry.
01:18:03I'm sorry.
01:18:04I'm sorry.
01:18:05I'm sorry.
01:18:06I'm sorry.
01:18:07I'm sorry.
01:18:08I'm sorry.
01:18:09I'm sorry.
01:18:10I'm sorry.
01:18:11I'm sorry.
01:18:12I'm sorry.
01:18:13I'm sorry.
01:18:14I'm sorry.
