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.
00:03:56Good work, baby.
00:03:58I'll take over from my hospital.
00:04:04They're all stable.
00:04:23Every single one of them, stabilized.
00:04:29Oh, the sun's coming up.
00:04:31You must have operated all night.
00:04:34You're a machine.
00:04:36Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
00:04:38All right.
00:04:40It's time for some much-needed shut-eye.
00:04:57Hey, you.
00:05:01Hey, yourself.
00:05:03I've been operating all night.
00:05:06I saved every single patient in that pileup.
00:05:10What I 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.
00:05:19Blueberry, your 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 this Marksman 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.
00:06:07What 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 posers.
00:07:05Attention.
00:07:06I need everybody's attention now.
00:07:09If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs,
00:07:13every surgery must be perfect.
00:07:15No complications, no deaths.
00:07:17This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:07:22Who does he think he is?
00:07:23Dr. House?
00:07:24What is this?
00:07:28Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:07:31Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:07:35This is a hospital.
00:07:37We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
00:07:40That was from my residency direction.
00:07:43Oh, cry me a river.
00:07:45Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients
00:07:47and a little less time collecting gold stars,
00:07:50you'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
00:07:56just 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.
00:08:18Did I order a wake-up call?
00:08:25No, you didn't.
00:08:26Yes, but 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 your diagram, doctor?
00:08:39Well, no, but there must be some sort of mistake.
00:08:42Fiona, what's his position here?
00:08:46He's...
00:08:47a 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?
00:08:56Are 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.
00:09:07Also, now you're expecting overtime pay.
00:09:10I've seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.
00:09:14What were you thinking hiring this fraud?
00:09:16Are they as dumb as these hack surgeons,
00:09:18or this is some sort of insurance scam?
00:09:20Adrian and I might be sleeping together.
00:09:23Adrian 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.
00:09:30There must be some clerical error.
00:09:32His credentials...
00:09:34Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:09:36Fiona?
00:09:37Fiona?
00:09:40Dr. Marksman?
00:09:42You are F-I-R-E-D...
00:09:46Fire.
00:09:47Clear out your office.
00:09:49Clear out your locker.
00:09:51Or get the hell out of my...
00:09:52Hospital!
00:09:53This is a mistake, okay?
00:09:55You need to check the surgical law.
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.
00:10:42I 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.
00:11:55Hey, Dad.
00:11:59What's wrong?
00:12:00Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.
00:12:02She'll be okay, but I need you to take full control of the hospital.
00:12:07And, Preston, there's something critical you need to know.
00:12:10Of course.
00:12:10What is it?
00:12:11That new surgeon, Dr. Marksman?
00:12:14Whatever happens, make sure you take care of him.
00:12:17Dr. Marksman?
00:12:18Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired.
00:12:21Get out of my hospital.
00:12:23Christ.
00:12:24The resident I just fired?
00:12:27Preston?
00:12:28Are you there?
00:12:30Check the staff roster.
00:12:32See if we have another Marksman working for us here.
00:12:34I had to back up the Briggs truck to get him here.
00:12:40He's the surgeon who saved your mother's life.
00:12:42And he's pioneering our experimental surgery program.
00:12:46The hospital's reputation rests on his work.
00:12:55Ah, yes.
00:12:56I see now there's another surgeon attending with that name.
00:12:59Dr. Marksman, pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
00:13:03Two-time Florence Nightingale, medal recipient for medical excellence.
00:13:08Three-times Apex award winner for clinical research.
00:13:10Is this who you mean, Dad?
00:13:11That's our man.
00:13:12There's another surgeon with the same last name who's been a disaster for us.
00:13:17Negligent, lazy, you name it.
00:13:19Do me a favor, fire him.
00:13:22Already done, Dad.
00:13:23I fired his slacker ass this morning.
00:13:26Thank God.
00:13:27Almost thought I fired our star surgeon.
00:13:30Good work, son.
00:13:31I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
00:13:35Just, uh, just take care of Mom, all right?
00:13:37I got everything else under control.
00:13:45See?
00:13:47Told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless.
00:13:49Now, about your career trajectory.
00:13:54Mr. Vale, sir.
00:13:56Can't you see I'm busy?
00:13:57Multiple traumas incoming.
00:13:59The six-car pileup.
00:14:00You fired half our surgery team.
00:14:01What's your point?
00:14:02ER is crashing.
00:14:04We've no one left who can handle it.
00:14:05Give me the situation now.
00:14:14Six critical traumas, three more incoming.
00:14:17Multiple crush injuries, arterial bleed, sir.
00:14:20We're losing patients.
00:14:22What are our options?
00:14:23There might be one solution.
00:14:25Well, spit it out.
00:14:27Dr. Marksman.
00:14:28He handled four critical traumas alone last night.
00:14:30If we can get him back here.
00:14:32Marksman.
00:14:33Right.
00:14:33That's the man we need.
00:14:34Fiona, call him.
00:14:35Which Dr. Marksman should I?
00:14:38The genius surgeon.
00:14:39The one I didn't fire.
00:14:40Keep up.
00:14:45What the hell?
00:14:47Where'd all this stuff go?
00:15:01Idiot left us research notes.
00:15:07Mmm.
00:15:08Modified trauma protocol.
00:15:11Wait.
00:15:13These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:15:17Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:15:22Hello?
00:15:23Dr. Marksman.
00:15:25Multiple critical traumas in the ER.
00:15:27Preston Vale says if you can handle this crisis,
00:15:29there's a monster promotion waiting.
00:15:32I'm on my way.
00:15:36With Adrian's techniques,
00:15:38I'll look like a genius.
00:15:40They'll make me department head.
00:15:42And I can finally make seven figures.
00:15:50Well?
00:15:51Dr. Marksman's on his way.
00:15:53Thank God.
00:15:54Thank God.
00:16:01Now, about your loyalty.
00:16:07Adrian meant nothing.
00:16:09I was using him to advance my career.
00:16:12You're my future.
00:16:14That's my girl.
00:16:15Beyond a shift in it an hour ago,
00:16:25the boss's son is up to something.
00:16:28To hell with this.
00:16:29I'm going up.
00:16:30piece of shit.
00:16:50Get your hand off my girl.
00:16:51Oh, just knock it off, Adrian.
00:16:56You mean to tell me that the brilliant surgeon
00:16:58can't see what's been happening under his own nose?
00:17:01You mean to tell me that you've been messing around
00:17:03with this incompetent nepo baby?
00:17:04I can choose who I want.
00:17:06And I don't want to disgrace surgeon with no future.
00:17:08You pathetic loser.
00:17:25We're done, Adrian.
00:17:28Ancient history.
00:17:30Are you serious?
00:17:32Just like that.
00:17:34Sorry that this bum wrinkled your jacket, sir.
00:17:36Why are you doing this, Fiona?
00:17:41Am I just a stepping stone to you?
00:17:43I need someone with a future,
00:17:44not someone who sleeps while patients are dying.
00:17:51Keep it for when you get lonely and horny.
00:17:54It's the closest you'll ever come to the real thing again.
00:17:59Look at us, Adrian.
00:18:03I'm the future of Vail Hospital,
00:18:05and you are just a slacker and scrubs.
00:18:12You're washed up, marksman.
00:18:14Perhaps try nursing.
00:18:16I hear they're always hiring.
00:18:18Fiona, I met you here,
00:18:19and it made me want to stay.
00:18:22I thought we could build a family together.
00:18:25Get over yourself.
00:18:27You think I'm going to stay with someone
00:18:28who lied about their credentials?
00:18:29President Vail would never have hired someone
00:18:33who sleeps during shifts.
00:18:37We're done.
00:18:39I'm not done.
00:18:41But when I am,
00:18:42there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.
00:18:46You can count on that.
00:18:47No, no, no.
00:18:51Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.
00:18:53Your troubles are just getting started.
00:18:59Who authorizes you to be here?
00:19:01Mr. Vail,
00:19:02I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision,
00:19:04we've stabilized all the patients
00:19:06from the multi-car accident,
00:19:07and the situation is completely under control.
00:19:11You're Dr. Marksman.
00:19:13Ah, yes.
00:19:13The very same.
00:19:14My father mentioned your
00:19:16exceptional credentials.
00:19:18Harvard Medical, was it?
00:19:20These morons have no idea
00:19:23I'm taking credit for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.
00:19:26As long as the boss's son is impressed,
00:19:28I'll be chief of surgery by next month.
00:19:31Mr. Vail,
00:19:31I've identified who's responsible
00:19:33for all the issues in OR3 today.
00:19:36He was sleeping.
00:19:37Well, the patient almost died on the table.
00:19:40Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
00:19:50Dr. Hart.
00:19:52Incredible news.
00:19:54Dr. Adrian Marksman,
00:19:55that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking,
00:19:58he's just been terminated from Vail Hospital.
00:20:01When?
00:20:02Less than an hour ago.
00:20:04Dismissed by President Vail's son.
00:20:06Oh, amazing.
00:20:10I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face
00:20:12when he discovers that his price surgeon
00:20:15was fired by his submental son.
00:20:17With respect, we're still establishing our reputation.
00:20:22Would someone of Marksman's caliber even consider joining us?
00:20:26I'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:20:29Full department autonomy,
00:20:32research funding,
00:20:33state-of-the-art facilities,
00:20:35and if necessary,
00:20:38my personal involvement.
00:20:39His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.
00:20:44Have my car brought round.
00:20:47I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.
00:20:50And Adrian Marksman,
00:20:51he's leaving with me.
00:20:53Alphysons.
00:21:00What kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:21:02Don't insult our intelligence.
00:21:04A patient coded while you were off taking a nap.
00:21:07The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental.
00:21:09Yet you stand there denying it.
00:21:11This is crazy.
00:21:12You've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon,
00:21:15and when a complication occurs,
00:21:16which happened in this hospital
00:21:18under your incompetent leadership,
00:21:21you blame me.
00:21:24The collective medical knowledge in this room
00:21:26isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.
00:21:29If you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be,
00:21:32you would still have a job.
00:21:35I'm not going to stand here and debate medicine
00:21:37with you in front of Mr. Vail.
00:21:38Security, please detain him.
00:21:40What exactly are you accusing me of?
00:21:48Either confess to medical malfeasance,
00:21:51or they'll escort you to the police
00:21:53for criminal negligence.
00:21:55Adrian, I never realized
00:21:57you were capable of endangering patients.
00:22:00What other medical atrocities have you committed?
00:22:02You better confess now,
00:22:04or we'll do that by giving you the power
00:22:05to make sure you lose your medical license.
00:22:09Fine.
00:22:10Go ahead.
00:22:11Do your worst.
00:22:13Let's see if a single piece of evidence
00:22:14holds up in front of the medical board.
00:22:18You really underestimate my family's influence,
00:22:21don't you?
00:22:23Don't you realize that Mr. Vail here
00:22:24can end your entire career with one phone call?
00:22:27Sir, I strongly recommend
00:22:29that we make an example out of him.
00:22:31After all, he'll be a danger to his patients
00:22:33wherever he goes.
00:22:34Preston, you can't let him walk away after this.
00:22:37Not after what he did to our patients.
00:22:39I'm contacting the medical board right now.
00:22:43As of this moment,
00:22:45Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted from Vail Hospital
00:22:48and every medical institute in the country.
00:22:50Plans in motion, Adrian.
00:22:52Do you know what that means?
00:22:54It means that you will never practice medicine
00:22:57in this country again.
00:22:58I have one question before I go.
00:23:03Does your father know you fired me?
00:23:06My father's the one who asked me to fire you,
00:23:08you dipshit.
00:23:11You thought you were some brilliant surgical god,
00:23:14didn't you?
00:23:15Security, remove this criminal
00:23:17from hospital property immediately.
00:23:19Immediately.
00:23:19Yes, doctor.
00:23:21Right away, sir.
00:23:24That's quite enough.
00:23:37Let him go.
00:23:38Dr. Marksman is about to accept the position
00:23:43as chief of surgical innovation
00:23:45at Hart Medical Center.
00:23:47I know you.
00:23:51You're Vivian Hart,
00:23:52the surgical upstart from that medical clinic across town.
00:23:55That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you,
00:23:58Mr. Vail.
00:24:00Vivian?
00:24:01I haven't seen you since the John Hopkins Symposium,
00:24:03like four or five years ago.
00:24:05What are you doing here?
00:24:06Well, I'm here for the most innovative surgeon
00:24:08in the country, of course.
00:24:10Wait, are you seriously suggesting
00:24:14this negligent doctor has value?
00:24:16He was sleeping during rounds.
00:24:19Is this how Vail Hospital
00:24:20discards its exceptional talent?
00:24:23Your father built this institution's reputation
00:24:25of medical excellence,
00:24:27not petty politics.
00:24:30Dr. Hart, with all due respect...
00:24:33This is a conversation between medical directors.
00:24:35Someone in your position should recognize
00:24:37when to maintain silence.
00:24:38Dr. Hart, I must inform you
00:24:41that Dr. Marksman represents a serious liability.
00:24:44He compromised patient safety and...
00:24:47I don't believe I requested your medical opinion, Dr...
00:24:50Marksman.
00:24:51David Marksman.
00:24:52I have neither time nor interest in your assessment.
00:24:57After he decided to go to sleep,
00:25:00we had a critical surgical complication.
00:25:03His negligence led to the problem.
00:25:05His actions not only endangered patients,
00:25:07it compromised my hospital's reputation.
00:25:09Are you really willing to defend someone
00:25:13who violates the Hippocratic Oath?
00:25:15Did you actually consult with your father
00:25:17before dismissing Dr. Marksman?
00:25:20Of course I consulted my father.
00:25:24He's the one who specifically mentioned
00:25:25his dangerous surgical shortcuts
00:25:27and inflated reputation.
00:25:29Dangerous shortcuts?
00:25:32Is that what President Vail really said?
00:25:34His exact words were,
00:25:35remove him at first opportunity.
00:25:38President Vail was the one that recruited me.
00:25:39This makes absolutely no sense.
00:25:41Please, Adrian.
00:25:42The president wouldn't personally recruit
00:25:44a mid-level surgeon like you.
00:25:47Those gala invitations were professional courtesy,
00:25:50not genuine respect.
00:25:52Well, if that's the way things work at Vail,
00:25:54I have nothing more to contribute
00:25:55to any of you.
00:25:57Dr. Marksman,
00:25:59would you consider joining
00:26:00Heart Medical Center
00:26:01as our chief of surgery?
00:26:04Well, I've...
00:26:05Full department autonomy,
00:26:07protected research time,
00:26:09a surgical fellowship in your name,
00:26:11and a seven-figure salary package.
00:26:14And I'll see you next time.
00:26:44and cash dr marksman i want you to revolutionize our surgery program
00:26:50hopefully this shows you i mean what i say

00:27:09dr hart have you completely lost your medical judgment or are you on drugs
00:27:14this is absurd he was a mediocre surgeon here at vale
00:27:18and now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department
00:27:22the medical board should review your hiring practices
00:27:27vivian i appreciate your confidence this isn't about money maybe there's something beyond
00:27:38professional opportunity that might interest you she's offering herself up to him she can't do that
00:27:44are you a doctor or a call girl at heart medical center you will be given everything a surgeon of
00:27:50your caliber deserves including a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value
00:27:57doctor heart for the sake of your own reputation you you need to know that this hack
00:28:07you're so eagerly pursuing has a documented history of negligence my father confirmed it himself
00:28:14is that precisely what nelson bale told you his exact words

00:28:23personal gifts from your father
00:28:27my fellowship offer
00:28:31my personal research lab my surgical team i'm leaving it all behind

00:28:44from vale hospital and all of its affiliated institutions
00:28:48you know what spare us the theatrics adrian you never deserve those privileges in the first place
00:28:54the medical board is going to see that justice is done
00:28:57oh your stupidity it's just astonishing you treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels
00:29:07this man is a life-saving artist
00:29:10dr hart i understand there's some competition between your center and vale hospital
00:29:19yeah look i'll be real we're struggling to get out from under their shadow
00:29:24look i'd be happy to help you out with that take me on and i'll transform heart into the number one surgical institution in the country

00:30:01and
00:30:02with an explanation to every affected vale hospital patient
00:30:06refuse me
00:30:08and i will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently
00:30:12that accusation isn't just baseless
00:30:14it's absurd
00:30:16what exactly do you think you're gonna do about it
00:30:18you 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
00:30:26have your attorney send a formal complaint to heart medical center

00:30:31than a declaration of total war
00:30:34if it's war you want

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
00:31:52i implemented a groundbreaking surgical protocol that i invented myself

00:32:01i'll walk you through it in detail after the emergency
00:32:04it's impressive dr marksman you've obviously got your own methodology

00:32:23behold vale hospital's new chief of surgery
00:32:32let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now
00:32:36glad you're feeling better honey
00:32:41thank you
00:32:42yeah
00:32:42oh
00:32:43sorry who's this
00:32:45nelson vale speaking president vale dr vivian hart here i am calling to let you know that
00:32:55as of this morning hart medical center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena
00:33:00revolutionary surgical procedures are vale hospital's domain
00:33:05are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight
00:33:08this is merely a professional courtesy call not an invitation for debate
00:33:13now just
00:33:14what is 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
00:33:31unless
00:33:34dad we've got multiple traumas coming in
00:33:43just tell me you didn't fire dr marksman
00:33:45dad relax
00:33:47fire the other one
00:33:49that incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned
00:33:52then explain to me
00:33:53why hart medical center
00:33:55believes 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 way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures
00:34:08i convinced vivian that she's acquired surgical brilliance
00:34:12but in reality she's hired our disgrace discarded loser
00:34:16so you deliberately manipulated vivian
00:34:19she thinks she's hired genius
00:34:22behind vale hospital's groundbreaking procedures
00:34:24that's why she had the audacity to declare war on you
00:34:27impressive son
00:34:28you're finally showing some of the leadership qualities
00:34:31i'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 this is everything i've worked for thank you
00:34:44we'll get to work immediately
00:34:45we're going to expose heart medical center
00:34:49for the low-grade institution it truly is
00:34:53their humiliation will be quick and absolute
00:34:56i won't let you down
00:34:57i won't let you down
00:34:59darling
00:35:00surgical innovation is the future of vale
00:35:03preston only got his mba last year
00:35:06do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program
00:35:10i would never take a risk like this if preston was our only asset
00:35:15remember we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon
00:35:20you mean the surgeon that saved my life dr adrian marksman
00:35:24exactly and all i need to do is stay hands off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents
00:35:34as long as adrian is with vale hospital heart medical center has no chance of competing
00:35:42not only that vivian fell for preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster
00:35:49dr david marksman
00:35:51what 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
00:36:08what do you think it's not bad it's a small team but they're talented
00:36:14what you've built here it's impressive viv
00:36:18it's good to see you again after all these years adrian
00:36:23you too
00:36:25we need to expand
00:36:27it's too small for what i'm planning
00:36:30so
00:36:31i heard you weren't the only surgeon preston vale fired
00:36:36we have all the angles figured out don't you
00:36:42and i always find the best one
00:36:53i'm gonna start recruiting
00:36:54good
00:36:57the faster we rise
00:37:00the more rewarding this partnership becomes
00:37:03this better be good
00:37:17mr vale
00:37:18you 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
00:37:32i'm appointing you head of innovation
00:37:35mr vale i uh
00:37:37is there an issue with that
00:37:39no absolutely not
00:37:41the budget for innovation is astronomical
00:37:43and president vale has already handed control to his son
00:37:47if i oversee these procedures i could divert
00:37:50significant resources to my personal research
00:37:53mr vale
00:37:55you can trust me completely
00:37:56i am precisely the right man for the job
00:37:59preston we have a catastrophe on our hands two attending surgeons just submitted their resignation simultaneously the department can't possibly maintain its caseload what they both resigned at once what was their explanation they refused to disclose their reasons but there's talk they were recruited by a former failed physician along with the three other surgeons you fired before former physician adrian marksman this has his saboteur signature all over it
00:38:06what is our contingency plan the surgical department is severely understaffed the surgical department is severely understaffed if any more surgeons leave patients will suffer okay everybody needs to remain calm
00:38:13you still have me
00:38:34you still have me
00:38:37i can rebuild this department
00:38:39ah yes with your stellar reputation we should be able to get the best of the best exactly
00:38:45so we lost some second-rate talent let him go
00:38:49i'll make some calls to cedar sinai
00:38:53and ucla
00:38:54good work marksman
00:38:57this 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
00:39:27it's an honor to meet you dr hart
00:39:34this is dr parker here he's a triple board certified surgeon and soon he'll be the head of trauma surgery
00:39:44this is dr rose jen rose and thomas all consummate professionals my most trusted colleagues back at vale
00:39:53with this surgical team heart medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country
00:40:02actually the whole world
00:40:04we're eager to begin dr hart
00:40:06well welcome to heart medical center
00:40:09i am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us
00:40:14but i do need to be transparent
00:40:17we have got considerable ground to cover before we can truly challenge vale hospital's dominance
00:40:22have no fear dr hart
00:40:24with adrian leading our team we'll be three steps ahead of anything vale attempts
00:40:29yes but vale has already implemented adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols
00:40:35yeah about that
00:40:36it's a preliminary version if they continue to develop this approach without modification
00:40:41then what
00:40:42a lot of deaths
00:40:43a lot of lawsuits
00:40:45a lot of patients could be harmed
00:40:47or worse
00:40:48these 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 preventable harm
00:41:03our first priority has to be patient safety we need to perfect these procedures and then we
00:41:09can find a way to prevent bail from continuing with the flawed protocols
00:41:13exactly it's not about competition or pride
00:41:16it's about saving lives
00:41:19we're using our experience with the trial procedures i did at vale to develop next generation surgical
00:41:26techniques eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies
00:41:32even if vale hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new
00:41:37we'll maintain our significant advantage
00:41:40and if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols rest assured their outcomes will deteriorate
00:41:46i don't wish it upon their patients that's for sure
00:41:50remember this moment
00:41:51in this battle for medical supremacy
00:41:54heart medical center
00:41:55heart medical center will emerge victorious
00:41:57it's 3 a.m
00:42:06lost track of time again
00:42:08there
00:42:13have you surprised me
00:42:15looks like you could use a nice rub
00:42:18do you mind
00:42:20no
00:42:21no
00:42:23i mean
00:42:24yeah

00:42:43you 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
00:42:53only you
00:42:56but you were completely oblivious
00:42:59and 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
00:43:09your talent was extraordinary even then
00:43:13back then
00:43:14back then
00:43:15i made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday
00:43:18you know
00:43:19when i established heart medical center
00:43:21my first priority was recruiting you
00:43:24but that
00:43:25manipulative tyrant
00:43:27nelson vale
00:43:28had already secured your contracts
00:43:30with ridiculous incentives
00:43:32incentives
00:43:33i understand now

00:45:56you are completely worthless as surgeons
00:46:04dr marksman
00:46:05the experimental procedures we're trying to replicate here are extraordinarily intricate
00:46:10we need at least six months to properly master
00:46:12six months
00:46:14you have 72 hours and i expect hourly updates on my desk
00:46:18sir brushing these delicate procedures
00:46:21dramatically increases the possibility of potentially fatal complication
00:46:25three days and you don't get one hour more
00:46:27go
00:46:29go
00:46:30go

00:52:59on our lovely administrator here
00:53:01don't worry
00:53:02when Preston makes me chief medical officer
00:53:05I'm gonna need someone
00:53:07flexible in my corner
00:53:09I respect the winning team Dr. Marksman
00:53:14today Vail 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
00:53:30especially as heart medical's competing program was released on the same day
00:53:35the question now is who will define the future of surgery
00:53:40relax Mr. Vail
00:53:42heart medical doesn't stand a chance
00:53:45I hope you're right
00:53:47for your sake
00:53:51didn't you say that
00:53:52if 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
00:54:02enjoy tonight's launch party
00:54:04because if our results don't outshine heart medical
00:54:06it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate
00:54:08for a long time
00:54:12Dr. Hurt
00:54:21we uh
00:54:22have a problem
00:54:24Vail hospital's new surgical program launches today
00:54:27that's soon
00:54:28they're hosting a big celebration party
00:54:31tonight
00:54:34it's a good thing we're ahead of
00:54:35you're saying we're ready
00:54:38you're saying we're ready
00:54:39why would I lie
00:54:41we'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
00:54:50do you remember what I told you
00:54:51when you first brought me here
00:54:55Preston Vail is rushing this
00:54:56he's desperate to beat us to the market
00:54:58and
00:54:59their models flawed
00:55:01if they keep moving forward
00:55:02without realizing their structural failure
00:55:04in their approach
00:55:06we won't have to lift a damn finger
00:55:08and what about when it falls apart
00:55:10then heart medical takes over
00:55:11as the future of modern surgery
00:55:13so you're saying that Vail hospital
00:55:17has been refining the prototype surgical method
00:55:19that you designed
00:55:20it's the only way
00:55:21they could have gotten this far
00:55:22this fast
00:55:23they're using an early draft
00:55:25full of mistakes
00:55:26that I won't make again
00:55:28they don't even realize
00:55:29the cracks in their foundation
00:55:31that actually
00:55:32makes perfect sense
00:55:35which means
00:55:36we've already won

01:02:02You get out of my way.
01:02:04Dad, what are you doing? This is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...
01:02:09You are such a fool!
01:02:13Dad, what are you doing?

01:02:17And this man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...

01:02:40Dad!
01:02:42President Vale, fuck away from my dad!

01:02:55David!
01:02:56David!
01:02:56Do something!
01:02:57It's cold!
01:02:57It's cold!
01:03:02Can't think of what to do next?
01:03:05Blanking?
01:03:05Can'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.
01:03:14Why are you just standing there?
01:03:16Do something!
01:03:19What'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, right 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.
01:03:34I don't even know what's wrong with them.
01:03:37I did medical school on Zoom.
01:03:38David, this is a matter of life and death.
01:03:43Let it go.
01:03:45I...
01:03:46I...
01:03:47I...
01:03:48I 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.
01:04:20Okay.
01:04:22I gotta, I gotta...
01:04:24Here, take it, take it.
01:04:26Okay.
01:04:27All right, hold his head.
01:04:29But tilt it back and apply pressure...
01:04:32Here.
01:04:33Okay.
01:04:44Okay.
01:04:46Okay.
01:04:47Ready?
01:04:49Oh.
01:04:50Come on.
01:04:54Oh, thank God.
01:04:55How are you?
01:04:56Let up.
01:04:58Oh.
01:05:02Oh.
01:05:03That's my guy.
01:05:04Surgical genius.
01:05:06Oh.
01:05:07That's how Val makes history.
01:05:08Somebody get this man a medal.
01:05:11Or at least a new department.
01:05:12If you still want that chief medical officer position,
01:05:15say the word.
01:05:17Now, do I have to have somebody escort you out?
01:05:21That maneuver.
01:05:23That notebook.
01:05:24It's mine.
01:05:25Then tell them.
01:05:30Where is he going?
01:05:32Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program
01:05:34at another fake hospital.
01:05:37Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?
01:05:39Say, hey, why don't you come back
01:05:40when you've actually saved a life?
01:05:42Ha ha ha.
01:05:46That procedure David used,
01:05:48I invented it.
01:05:49What kind of crack are you smoking?
01:05:52What 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.
01:06:03My theories.
01:06:05I'm just pissed because he did what you couldn't.
01:06:08I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories as innovation.
01:06:13And when it fails,
01:06:15and 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.
01:06:32Our 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.
01:06:59I'll be right back.
01:07:02Just coordinating with the team.
01:07:06Talk to me.
01:07:07The vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again.
01:07:09This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.
01:07:14Use the compression step.
01:07:16That only works in controlled scenarios.
01:07:19We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.
01:07:22Look, just follow the notes.
01:07:27I designed those techniques for 101 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.
01:07:53Patients 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.
01:08:02And I'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing.
01:08:08Bullshit.
01:08:08Bullshit.
01:08:08Oh, yes.
01:08:15This is Dr. Marksman.
01:08:16Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:08:19Okay, listen very carefully.
01:08:22Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.
01:08:31No, you 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.
01:08:46Yes.
01:08:48Yes.
01:08:51How do we even know he made a phone call?
01:08:54This 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.
01:09:12Why would we believe anything he says?
01:09:14He was fired.
01:09:15Humiliated.
01:09:16You're right, I was fired.
01:09:18And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed and 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.
01:09:29Is that what you told yourself?
01:09:30When 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.
01:09:38I think it's exactly the time and place.
01:09:41I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator.
01:09:55And thanks to Adrian's guidance, our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients.
01:10:02Adrian just cleaned up your mess.
01:10:05You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready and you fired him.
01:10:10The one person who could make them safe.
01:10:13Dad, you don't see the full picture here.
01:10:17Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.
01:10:20This hospital was built on trust and integrity and you've disgraced them both.
01:10:26Your father nearly died because of your ego, because 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.
01:10:44You deserve to be at Vale more 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 with 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 and tried to fast track them for glory.
01:11:11Oh.
01:11:11You can't prove that.
01:11:12Security footage.
01:11:18Of you stealing Adrian's notebook from 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.
01:11:40He put lives at risk.
01:11:41To prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program.
01:11:45We're going to need to open a 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 to countless innocent people.
01:12:08You nearly killed the president of the hospital.
01:12:11You passed up experimental procedures as 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 sequential tensioning, breath control, special clamp techniques.
01:12:27Getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death.
01:12:29Wait.
01:12:30These really are your techniques.
01:12:32I tested them for years.
01:12:34It was never meant for mass rollout.
01:12:37Not without training.
01:12:39You're rewriting history?
01:12:40No, you tried to erase him from it.
01:12:43Adrian Marksman was the reason that 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 former resident?
01:12:55He's not disgraced, son.
01:12:57You are.
01:12:59You hijacked a program you didn't understand.
01:13:02And then when your ego wasn't enough, you propped up this fraud.
01:13:08Taking 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 an emergency session tomorrow morning.
01:13:20Until then, both of you are suspended from all surgical and administrative duties.
01:13:25Suspended?
01:13:26No, no, no, you can't do that.
01:13:27You don't understand the politics of 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, you're not going to often 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 side-filled face!
01:13:49I'm just kidding, son of a...
01:13:50Dad!
01:13:50Get off me!
01:13:51Get off me!
01:13:52Get off me!
01:13:52I'm just...
01:13:53I'm not a child!
01:13:55You're not my responsibility.
01:13:56Oh.
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?
01:14:24You traded him the second someone flashier walked by.
01:14:26You 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.
01:14:45Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser.
01:14:50Please.
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.
01:15:13And I should have fought harder to keep you if I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes.
01:15:19The 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.
01:15:29And I want you back as Vale's chief of experimental surgery.
01:15:34I'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.
01:15:48Adrian 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 and you slam it in my face.
01:16:03Just typical.
01:16:05Just when you had your moment, you turned your back on it for, for what, her?
01:16:10She's just going to use you up and toss you aside like everyone else.
01:16:14Oh, projecting much, Nelson.
01:16:17Get me out of here.
01:16:19Now!
01:16:33Karma has good timing.
01:16:38Speaking of timing, we should get back to work.
01:16:45We have lives to save.
01:16:46Hey!
01:16:48Not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.
01:16:52I still owe you that extra special bonus.
01:16:58Now?
01:16:59Well, there's no time like the present.
01:17:08This is what a victory tastes like.
01:17:11It's not bad.
01:17:13I need a second opinion.
01:17:17Well, I've got all night.
01:17:18And you're not leaving this room until I've properly celebrated my genius surgeon.
01:17:24Should I be afraid of a performance review?
01:17:27You're already exceeding expectations.
01:17:30But I am very thorough.
01:17:32Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.
01:17:44Besides being you, of course.
01:17:56I'm sorry.
