00:00:00A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city,
00:00:05sending a surge of critically injured patients flooding into Bale Hospital's emergency department.
00:00:10The fate of these accident victims now rests in the hands of Bale's surgical team,
00:00:15their last hope for survival in the face of devastating trauma.
00:00:19Facials crashing! We need an attending surgeon now!
00:00:22All the hours are full. We got three more criticals incoming.
00:00:25Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding.
00:00:28Well, I can't leave this one. Where's Dr. Stevens?
00:00:31We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the ER.
00:00:50Need a hand?
00:00:52A new hire. You just started this month.
00:00:55Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level 1 trauma like this?
00:00:59The patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:01Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman. The patient's yours.
00:01:10Okay, we are going to perform a modified Whipple.
00:01:13Whipple? For trauma? That's insane.
00:01:16Trust me.
00:01:17Medicine bomb scissors.
00:01:19Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:23That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive.
00:01:25Bovey Cottery.
00:01:26Watch.
00:01:27He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:29The bleeding? It's under control.
00:01:30But how did he...?
00:01:31Tilk suture.

00:04:19They're all stable. Every single one of them. Stabilized.
00:04:29Oh, the sun's coming up. We must have operated all night.
00:04:34You're a machine.
00:04:36Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
00:04:39All right. It's time for some much-needed Shaddai.
00:04:49Hey, you.
00:05:01Hey, yourself.
00:05:04I've been operating all night.
00:05:06I see every single patient in that pileup.
00:05:10What I did was extraordinary.
00:05:11How do you always know exactly what I needed?
00:05:16Because I know you better than anyone.
00:05:25Blueberry, your favorite?
00:05:28You remembered.
00:05:30Where's your dad?
00:05:30You know, I've been thinking lately about us.
00:05:37I know it's only been a month, but...
00:05:39It 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. I 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.
00:06:23Who 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.
00:06:50You couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:06:54You're fired.
00:06:56Clear out your office.
00:06:57New management means new standards.
00:07:00It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.
00:07:05Attention!
00:07:06And everybody's attention now.
00:07:09If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs, every surgery must be perfect.
00:07:15No complications, no deaths.
00:07:18This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:07:22Who's he thinking 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.
00:07:41That was from my residency direction.
00:07:43Oh, cry me a river.
00:07:44Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients and a little less time collecting gold stars, you'd be a real doctor.
00:07:52You're fired.
00:07:53Excuse me?
00:07:54Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop, just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.
00:07:58Yes, sir.
00:08:00Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?
00:08:04That was good.
00:08:05Let's go.
00:08:06Well, well, well.
00:08:12What do we have here?
00:08:14Sleeping after a shift?
00:08:17Rise and shine, superstar.
00:08:23Did I order a wake-up call?
00:08:25No, you didn't.
00:08:27But here's one anyway.
00:08:28You are fired.
00:08:33Are you serious?
00:08:34You're firing me?
00:08:36Do you need me to draw you a diagram, doctor?
00:08:39Well, no, but there must be some sort of mistake.
00:08:42Fiona, what's his position here?
00:08:46He'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?
00:08:57Are you insane?
00:08:58You're giving resident money to a first-year who sleeps on the job?
00:09:01This hospital is being scammed!
00:09:03I just worked all night, okay?
00:09:06I'm just taking a nap.
00:09:07Oh, so now you're expecting overtime pay?
00:09:10I've seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.
00:09:14What were you thinking, hiring this fraud?
00:09:16Are they as dumb as these hack surgeons, or this is some sort of insurance scam?
00:09:20Adrian 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.
00:09:32These credentials...
00:09:34Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:09:37Fiona?
00:09:38Dr. 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 hospital.
00:09:54This is a mistake, okay?
00:09:55You need to check the surgical lock.
00:09:56You don't get to wear that.
00:09:57Or...
00:09:58I 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.
00:10:28I understand.
00:10:40Hospital politics.
00:10:42Look, I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.
00:10:46Meet me in the lobby after your shift.
00:10:49I'll be waiting.
00:10:58You 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.
00:11:26I 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.
00:11:50Hey, 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.
00:12:31Let's see if we have another marksman working for us here.
00:12:36I had to back up the brakes truck to get him here.
00:12:40He's a 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.
00:12:49Ah, yes.
00:12:56I see now there's another surgeon attending with that name.
00:12:59Dr. Marksman, pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
00:13:04Two-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.
00:13:16Negligent, lazy, you name it.
00:13:19Do me a favor.
00:13:20Fire 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.
00:13:32I'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.
00:13:46See?
00:13:46I told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless.
00:13:50Now, about your career trajectory.
00:13:54Mr. Vale, sir.
00:13:55Can'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.
00:14:13Now.
00:14:14Six critical traumas.
00:14:16Three more incoming.
00:14:17Multiple crush injuries.
00:14:19Arterial 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?
00:14:35Call 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.
00:14:41What the hell?
00:14:47Where'd all this stuff go?
00:15:04Idiot left his research notes.
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?
00:15:24Dr. 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, I'll look like a genius.
00:15:39They'll make me department head.
00:15:42And I can finally make seven figures.
00:15:50Well?
00:15:52Dr. Marksman's on his way.
00:15:53Thank God.
00:16:04Now, about your loyalty.
00:16:07Adrian meant nothing.
00:16:09I was using him to advance my career.
00:16:12You're my future.
00:16:13That'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?
00:17:05I can choose who I want.
00:17:06And I don't want a disgrace surgeon with no future.
00:17:09You pathetic loser.
00:17:10We'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?
00:18:30President 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.
00:18:59He'll authorize 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
00:19:24revolutionary 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
00:19:56that you've been tracking,
00:19:58he's just been terminated
00:19:59from 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
00:20:13that his Price Surgeon
00:20:15was fired by his submental son.
00:20:18With, uh, respect,
00:20:19we're still establishing our reputation.
00:20:22Would someone of Marksman's caliber
00:20:24even consider joining us?
00:20:26We'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:20:28Full department autonomy.
00:20:30Full department autonomy.
00:20:32Research funding.
00:20:33State-of-the-art facilities.
00:20:36And if necessary,
00:20:38my personal involvement.
00:20:40His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.
00:20:45Have 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.
00:20:59Malfeasance.
00:21:00What kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:21:02Now, don'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
00:21:13as 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
00:21:31that you claim to be,
00:21:32you would still have a job.
00:21:35I'm not going to stand here
00:21:36and debate medicine with you
00:21:37in front of Mr. Vail.
00:21:38Security, please detain him.
00:21:46What 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.
00:21:56Adrian, 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 everything in your 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.
00:22:16You really
00:22:19underestimate 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
00:22:26with 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
00:22:32to his patients wherever he goes.
00:22:34Preston, you can't let him walk away after this.
00:22:37Not after what he did to our patients.
00:22:40I'm contacting the medical board right now.
00:22:43As of this moment,
00:22:45Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted
00:22:47from 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
00:22:55will 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
00:23:07who asked me to fire you,
00:23:08you dipshit.
00:23:11You thought you were
00:23:12some brilliant surgical god,
00:23:14didn't you?
00:23:15Security, remove this criminal
00:23:17from hospital property immediately.
00:23:19Immediately.
00:23:20Yes, doctor.
00:23:21Right away, sir.
00:23:24That's quite enough.
00:23:25Let him go.
00:23:40Dr. Marksman
00:23:41is about to accept the position
00:23:43as chief of surgical innovation
00:23:45at Heart Medical Center.
00:23:49I know you.
00:23:51You're Vivian Heart,
00:23:52the surgical upstart
00:23:53from that medical clinic across town.
00:23:55That's Dr. Vivian Heart to you,
00:23:58Mr. Vail.
00:24:00Vivian?
00:24:01I haven't seen you
00:24:01since 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
00:24:08innovative surgeon
00:24:09in the country, of course.
00:24:11Wait.
00:24:12Are you seriously suggesting
00:24:14this negligent doctor has value?
00:24:16He was sleeping during rounds.
00:24:18Is this how Vail Hospital
00:24:20discards its exceptional talent?
00:24:21Your father built this institution's reputation
00:24:25of medical excellence,
00:24:27not petty politics.
00:24:30Dr. 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.
00:24:39Dr. 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 and...
00:24:47I don't believe I requested
00:24:48your medical opinion,
00:24:49Dr....
00:24:49Marksman.
00:24:51David Marksman.
00:24:52I have neither time
00:24:53nor interest
00:24:54in your assessment.
00:24:57After he
00:24:58decided to go to sleep,
00:25:00we had a critical
00:25:01surgical complication.
00:25:03His negligence
00:25:03led to the problem.
00:25:05His actions
00:25:06not only endangered patients,
00:25:07it compromised
00:25:08my hospital's reputation.
00:25:10Are you really willing
00:25:12to defend someone
00:25:13who violates
00:25:14the Hippocratic Oath?
00:25:15Did you actually consult
00:25:17with your father
00:25:17before dismissing
00:25:18Dr. Marksman?
00:25:19Of course I consulted
00:25:21my father.
00:25:24He's the one
00:25:25who specifically
00:25:25mentioned his
00:25:26dangerous surgical
00:25:27shortcuts
00:25:27and inflated reputation.
00:25:30Dangerous shortcuts?
00:25:32Is that what
00:25:32President Vail
00:25:33really said?
00:25:34His exact words were
00:25:35remove him
00:25:36at first opportunity.
00:25:38President 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 invitations
00:25:48were professional courtesy,
00:25:50not genuine respect.
00:25:52Well, if that's the way
00:25:53things work at Vail,
00:25:54I have nothing more
00:25:55to contribute
00:25:55to any of you.
00:25:57Dr. Marksman,
00:25:59would you consider
00:25:59joining Heart Medical Center
00:26:01as our chief of surgery?
00:26:04Well, I...
00:26:05Full department autonomy,
00:26:07protected research time,
00:26:08a surgical fellowship
00:26:10in your name,
00:26:11and a seven-figure
00:26:13salary package.
00:26:38And Cash.
00:26:46Dr. Marksman,
00:26:48I want you to revolutionize
00:26:49our surgery program.
00:26:51Hopefully this shows you.
00:26:53I mean what I say.
00:27:01Chief of surgery?
00:27:02You're offering all this
00:27:06to a surgeon
00:27:07who can't even
00:27:08keep his eyes open
00:27:09on the job?
00:27:10Dr. Hart,
00:27:11have you completely
00:27:12lost your medical judgment
00:27:13or are you on drugs?
00:27:14This is absurd.
00:27:16He was a mediocre surgeon
00:27:17here at Vail,
00:27:18and now you're
00:27:20positioning him
00:27:20to lead your entire
00:27:21surgical department?
00:27:24The medical board
00:27:25should review
00:27:26your hiring practices.
00:27:29Vivian,
00:27:30I appreciate
00:27:31your confidence.
00:27:33This isn't about money.
00:27:36Maybe there's
00:27:37something beyond
00:27:37professional opportunity
00:27:39that might interest you.
00:27:41She's offering
00:27:42herself up to him.
00:27:43She can't do that.
00:27:44Are you a doctor
00:27:45or a call girl?
00:27:47At Hart Medical Center,
00:27:48you will be given
00:27:49everything a surgeon
00:27:50of your caliber deserves,
00:27:52including
00:27:53a boss that would do
00:27:55absolutely anything
00:27:56to recognize your value.
00:27:58And I do mean
00:27:59anything Dr. Marksman
00:28:00Dr. Hart,
00:28:04for the sake
00:28:05of your own reputation,
00:28:06you need to know
00:28:07that this hack
00:28:07you're so eagerly pursuing
00:28:09has a documented
00:28:10history of negligence.
00:28:12My father
00:28:13confirmed it himself.
00:28:15Is that precisely
00:28:16what Nelson Bale
00:28:17told you?
00:28:18His exact words.
00:28:20Negligence, Serge.
00:28:22What are those?
00:28:25Personal gifts
00:28:26from your father?
00:28:27My fellowship offer?
00:28:31My personal research lab?
00:28:34My surgical team?
00:28:36I'm leaving it all behind.
00:28:39You can tell
00:28:40President Vail
00:28:41that as of this moment,
00:28:42Dr. Marksman
00:28:43has permanently withdrawn
00:28:44from Vail Hospital
00:28:46and all of its
00:28:47affiliated institutions.
00:28:49You know what?
00:28:50Spare us the theatrics,
00:28:51Adrian.
00:28:52You never deserve
00:28:53those privileges
00:28:53in the first place.
00:28:54The medical board
00:28:56is going to see
00:28:56that justice is done.
00:28:58Oh,
00:28:59your stupidity,
00:29:01it's just
00:29:02astonishing.
00:29:04You treat pioneering surgeons
00:29:05like disposable scalpels.
00:29:07This man
00:29:08is a life-saving artist.
00:29:14Dr. Hart,
00:29:15I understand
00:29:16there's some competition
00:29:17between your center
00:29:18and Vail Hospital.
00:29:19Yeah, look,
00:29:20I'll be real.
00:29:21We're struggling
00:29:22to get out
00:29:23from under their shadow.
00:29:24Look,
00:29:24I'd be happy
00:29:25to help you out with that.
00:29:26Take me on
00:29:27and I'll transform Hart
00:29:28into the number one
00:29:29surgical institution
00:29:30in the country.
00:29:33Look at yourself,
00:29:34Adrian,
00:29:35offering your skills
00:29:36to a struggling clinic.
00:29:37How pathetically desperate.
00:29:40Oh,
00:29:41a backstabbing
00:29:42bottom feeder
00:29:43like you
00:29:43has absolutely
00:29:44no right
00:29:45to judge a surgeon
00:29:46of his caliber.
00:29:47How dare you
00:29:47talk to me like that!
00:29:48Your malpractice
00:29:50has caused
00:29:51catastrophic damage
00:29:53to my hospital's reputation.
00:29:55As the responsible party,
00:29:57I demand that you
00:29:58issue a formal apology
00:30:00to one of the major
00:30:00medical journals
00:30:01and with an explanation
00:30:03to every affected
00:30:04Vail Hospital patient.
00:30:07Refuse me
00:30:08and I will ensure
00:30:09that the medical board
00:30:10revokes your license
00:30:11permanently.
00:30:12That accusation
00:30:13isn't just baseness.
00:30:15It's absurd.
00:30:16What exactly do you think
00:30:17you're going to do about it?
00:30:19You've got no choice
00:30:20but to sign this confession.
00:30:21Oh, stop threatening
00:30:22my chief surgeon.
00:30:24If you insist
00:30:25on pursuing this vendetta,
00:30:26have your attorney
00:30:27send a formal complaint
00:30:28to Hart Medical Center.
00:30:30We'll consider it
00:30:31nothing less
00:30:31than a declaration
00:30:33of total war.
00:30:35If it's war you want,
00:30:37I will obliterate
00:30:38your dime store clinic
00:30:40with everything
00:30:40that I've got.
00:30:42Let's go.
00:30:44One more second
00:30:45and this cesspool
00:30:45is going to make me
00:30:46physically ill.
00:30:55Mr. Vail,
00:30:57don't you waste
00:30:58another precious moment
00:30:59on those
00:30:59secondary practitioners.
00:31:02David,
00:31:03you've proven
00:31:03your loyalty.
00:31:04The chief of surgery
00:31:06position is yours
00:31:07effective immediately.
00:31:09This is,
00:31:10this is extraordinary.
00:31:11I,
00:31:12thank you.
00:31:13I am honored
00:31:16beyond words.
00:31:18Don't forget
00:31:18about me,
00:31:18Preston.
00:31:20Don't worry,
00:31:21babe.
00:31:21You will be
00:31:23thoroughly compensated
00:31:24for your loyalty.
00:31:26How exciting.
00:31:29Mr. Vail,
00:31:29I swear on my medical oath
00:31:31that I will not
00:31:32disappoint you.
00:31:34Mr. Vail,
00:31:35a commuter train
00:31:36derailed.
00:31:37Six critical patients
00:31:38incoming.
00:31:39Dr. Marksman,
00:31:39OR1 now.
00:31:41Now's your time
00:31:41to shine,
00:31:42Dr. Marksman.
00:31:43Shit,
00:31:43I'm screwed.
00:31:44Adrian's surgical journal
00:31:45with all his
00:31:46proprietary techniques
00:31:47is still in my office.
00:31:48If Preston finds out,
00:31:50I stole it
00:31:50and then couldn't
00:31:51even use it properly.
00:31:53I implemented
00:31:54a groundbreaking
00:31:56surgical protocol
00:31:57that I invented myself.
00:31:59These techniques
00:32:00are revolutionary.
00:32:01I'll walk you
00:32:02through it in detail
00:32:03after the emergency.
00:32:04It's impressive,
00:32:05Dr. Marksman.
00:32:06You've obviously
00:32:07got your own
00:32:07methodology.
00:32:09No need to bore me
00:32:10with the specifics.
00:32:10I trust your brilliance.
00:32:12Keep up the good work,
00:32:13Dr. Marksman.
00:32:14With you leading
00:32:14my surgical team,
00:32:16I can focus
00:32:17on what really matters.
00:32:18Hospital expansion.
00:32:21Again, sir,
00:32:22I'm deeply honored.
00:32:30Behold,
00:32:30Vail Hospital's
00:32:31new chief of surgery.
00:32:33Let's see how
00:32:34all these condescending
00:32:34clowns treat me now.
00:32:40Glad you're
00:32:40feeling better, honey.
00:32:42Yeah.
00:32:43Well, sorry.
00:32:45Who's this?
00:32:49Nelson Vail speaking.
00:32:50President Vail,
00:32:51Dr. Vivian Hart here.
00:32:53I am calling
00:32:54to let you know
00:32:55that as of this morning,
00:32:57Hart Medical Center
00:32:57has officially entered
00:32:59the experimental
00:33:00surgery arena.
00:33:01Revolutionary
00:33:02surgical procedures
00:33:03or avail
00:33:03hospital's domain.
00:33:06Are you absolutely
00:33:06certain you want
00:33:07to pick this fight?
00:33:09This is merely
00:33:10a professional
00:33:10courtesy call,
00:33:11not an invitation
00:33:12for debate.
00:33:13Now, just...
00:33:14What is that
00:33:20conniving bitch
00:33:21plotting?
00:33:22She knows Adrian
00:33:24is our surgical
00:33:25secret weapon.
00:33:26Why would she
00:33:27deliberately provoke
00:33:28a medical war
00:33:29she has absolutely
00:33:30no chance
00:33:31of winning?
00:33:33Unless...
00:33:41Dad, we've got
00:33:42multiple traumas
00:33:42coming in.
00:33:43Just tell me
00:33:43you didn't fire
00:33:44Dr. Marksman.
00:33:46Dad, relax.
00:33:48I fired the other one,
00:33:49that incompetent
00:33:50slacker resident
00:33:51that you mentioned.
00:33:52Then explain to me
00:33:53why Hart Medical Center
00:33:55believes they can
00:33:56suddenly challenge
00:33:57our surgical supremacy.
00:33:59Because I
00:34:01masterfully led
00:34:02Vivian Hart
00:34:03into a false
00:34:03sense of reality.
00:34:05There's no way
00:34:05a mediocre doctor
00:34:06can revolutionize
00:34:07surgical procedures.
00:34:09I convinced Vivian
00:34:10that she's acquired
00:34:11surgical brilliance
00:34:12when in reality
00:34:14she's hired
00:34:14our disgrace,
00:34:15discarded loser.
00:34:17So you deliberately
00:34:18manipulated Vivian?
00:34:19She thinks
00:34:20she's hired
00:34:21the genius
00:34:22behind Vail Hospital's
00:34:23groundbreaking procedures.
00:34:24That's why she had
00:34:26the audacity
00:34:26to declare war on you.
00:34:27Impressive, son.
00:34:29You're finally showing
00:34:30some of the leadership
00:34:31qualities.
00:34:32I've been waiting
00:34:32to see out of you.
00:34:34I think you're ready
00:34:34to take complete control
00:34:36of our experimental
00:34:37surgical division.
00:34:40Dad, this...
00:34:41this is everything
00:34:42I've worked for.
00:34:44We'll get to work
00:34:45immediately.
00:34:46We're going to
00:34:46expose
00:34:47Hart Medical Center
00:34:49for the low-grade
00:34:51institution
00:34:52it truly is.
00:34:53Their humiliation
00:34:54will be quick
00:34:55and absolute.
00:34:57I won't let you down.
00:35:00Darling,
00:35:01surgical innovation
00:35:02is the future of Vail.
00:35:04Preston only got
00:35:05his MBA last year.
00:35:06Do you really think
00:35:07it's wise to entrust him
00:35:09with our most
00:35:09prestigious program?
00:35:11I would never
00:35:11take a risk like this
00:35:13if Preston
00:35:14was our only asset.
00:35:16Remember,
00:35:17we have the ultimate
00:35:18surgical secret weapon.
00:35:21You mean the surgeon
00:35:22that saved my life?
00:35:23Dr. Adrian Marksman.
00:35:25Exactly.
00:35:26And all I need to do
00:35:28is stay hands-off
00:35:30and let him
00:35:32exercise his
00:35:33extraordinary talents.
00:35:36As long as Adrian
00:35:37is with
00:35:37Vail Hospital,
00:35:39Hart Medical Center
00:35:40has no chance
00:35:41of competing.
00:35:43Not only that,
00:35:44Vivian fell
00:35:45for Preston's manipulation
00:35:46and hired that
00:35:47medical disaster,
00:35:49Dr. David Marksman.
00:35:51What we have to do now
00:35:53is sit back
00:35:55and watch her
00:35:56would-be empire
00:35:58crumble.
00:36:05So,
00:36:06now that you've seen
00:36:07the surgical department,
00:36:08what do you think?
00:36:11It's not bad.
00:36:13It's a small team,
00:36:14but they're talented.
00:36:14What you've built here,
00:36:17it's impressive, Viv.
00:36:21It's good to see you again
00:36:22after all these years,
00:36:23Adrian.
00:36:24You too.
00:36:26We need to expand.
00:36:28It's too small
00:36:29for what I'm planning.
00:36:31Also,
00:36:32I heard you weren't
00:36:34the only surgeon
00:36:35Preston Vale fired.
00:36:36We have all the angles
00:36:42figured out,
00:36:42don't you?
00:36:43And I always find
00:36:44the best one.
00:36:53I'm gonna start recruiting.
00:36:56Good.
00:36:58The faster we rise,
00:37:00the more rewarding
00:37:02this partnership becomes.
00:37:03This better be good.
00:37:18Mr. Vale,
00:37:20you wanted to see me?
00:37:25My father
00:37:26has granted me
00:37:27complete authority
00:37:28over our experimental
00:37:29surgical department.
00:37:30Given your new position
00:37:31as chief of surgery,
00:37:32I'm appointing you
00:37:34head of innovation.
00:37:36Mr. Vale,
00:37:36I, uh...
00:37:37Is there an issue
00:37:38with that?
00:37:39No, absolutely not.
00:37:41The budget for innovation
00:37:43is astronomical,
00:37:44and President Vale
00:37:45has already handed
00:37:46control to his son?
00:37:48If I oversee
00:37:49these procedures,
00:37:50I could divert
00:37:50significant resources
00:37:51to my personal research.
00:37:54Mr. Vale,
00:37:55you can trust me completely.
00:37:57I am precisely
00:37:58the right man
00:37:59for the job.
00:37:59Preston,
00:38:03we have a catastrophe
00:38:03on our hands.
00:38:04Two attending surgeons
00:38:05just submitted
00:38:05their resignation
00:38:06simultaneously.
00:38:07The department
00:38:07can't possibly
00:38:08maintain its caseload.
00:38:09What?
00:38:10They both resigned
00:38:11at once?
00:38:11What was their explanation?
00:38:12They refused
00:38:13to disclose their reasons.
00:38:14But there's talk
00:38:15they were recruited
00:38:15by a former Vale physician,
00:38:17along with the three
00:38:18other surgeons
00:38:18you fired before.
00:38:19Former physician
00:38:20Adrian Marksman,
00:38:21this has his
00:38:22saboteur signature
00:38:23all over it.
00:38:24Preston,
00:38:25what is our contingency plan?
00:38:26The surgical department
00:38:27is severely understaffed.
00:38:29If any more surgeons
00:38:30leave,
00:38:30patients will suffer.
00:38:31Okay, everybody
00:38:32needs to remain calm.
00:38:35You still have me.
00:38:37I can rebuild
00:38:38this department.
00:38:40Ah, yes.
00:38:41With your stellar reputation,
00:38:42we should be able
00:38:43to get the best
00:38:43of the best.
00:38:44Exactly.
00:38:46So we lost
00:38:46some second-rate talent.
00:38:48Let him go.
00:38:50I'll make some calls
00:38:52to Cedars-Sinai
00:38:53and UCLA.
00:38:54Good work, Marksman.
00:39:00This is working
00:39:01out perfectly.
00:39:02Now I can install
00:39:03my own allies
00:39:04in key positions.
00:39:05Soon,
00:39:06I'll control
00:39:06the entire hospital's
00:39:07medical direction.
00:39:24It's an honor
00:39:33to meet you,
00:39:33Dr. Hart.
00:39:37This is Dr. Parker here.
00:39:39He's a triple-board
00:39:40certified surgeon.
00:39:42And soon,
00:39:42he'll be the head
00:39:43of trauma surgery.
00:39:44This is Dr. Rose,
00:39:46Chen,
00:39:47Rose,
00:39:48and Thomas.
00:39:49All consummate professionals.
00:39:51My most trusted colleagues
00:39:52back at Vail.
00:39:53With this surgical team,
00:39:58Hart Medical
00:39:58can revolutionize
00:39:59surgical care
00:40:00all across the country.
00:40:03Actually,
00:40:03the whole world.
00:40:05We're here to begin,
00:40:06Dr. Hart.
00:40:07Well,
00:40:08welcome to
00:40:08Hart Medical Center.
00:40:10I am thrilled
00:40:12to have surgeons
00:40:12of your caliber
00:40:13joining us,
00:40:14but
00:40:14I do need
00:40:16to be transparent.
00:40:17We have got
00:40:18considerable ground
00:40:19to cover
00:40:19before we can
00:40:20truly challenge
00:40:21Vail Hospital's
00:40:22dominance.
00:40:23Have no fear,
00:40:23Dr. Hart.
00:40:25With Adrian
00:40:25leading our team,
00:40:26we'll be
00:40:26three steps ahead
00:40:27of anything
00:40:28Vail attempts.
00:40:29Yes,
00:40:30but Vail
00:40:31has already
00:40:31implemented
00:40:32Adrian's
00:40:33breakthrough
00:40:33surgical procedure
00:40:34protocols.
00:40:35Yeah,
00:40:36about that.
00:40:37It's a preliminary
00:40:38version.
00:40:39If they continue
00:40:39to develop
00:40:40this approach
00:40:40without modification...
00:40:41Then what?
00:40:42A lot of deaths,
00:40:43a lot of lawsuits,
00:40:46a lot of patients
00:40:47could be harmed
00:40:47or worse.
00:40:48These procedures
00:40:49weren't ready
00:40:50for widespread
00:40:50implementation
00:40:51without proper
00:40:52refinement.
00:40:53Those techniques
00:40:54require precise
00:40:55calibration
00:40:55and specialized
00:40:56training.
00:40:57Without that
00:40:58foundation...
00:40:59We're talking
00:41:00about serious
00:41:00complications,
00:41:02preventable harm.
00:41:03Our first priority
00:41:04has to be patient
00:41:05safety.
00:41:06We need to
00:41:06perfect these
00:41:07procedures,
00:41:08and then we
00:41:09can find a way
00:41:09to prevent Vail
00:41:10from continuing
00:41:11with the flawed
00:41:12protocols.
00:41:13Exactly.
00:41:14It's not about
00:41:14competition or pride.
00:41:16It's about
00:41:16saving lives.
00:41:20We're using
00:41:21our experience
00:41:22with the trial
00:41:22procedures I did
00:41:23at Vail
00:41:24to develop
00:41:24next-generation
00:41:25surgical techniques
00:41:27eliminating all
00:41:28the previous
00:41:28complications
00:41:29and inefficiencies.
00:41:32Even if Vail
00:41:32Hospital analyzes
00:41:33our fundamental
00:41:34approach and
00:41:35attempts to
00:41:35create something
00:41:36new,
00:41:37we'll maintain
00:41:38our significant
00:41:39advantage.
00:41:40And if they
00:41:41stubbornly
00:41:41continue with
00:41:42their flawed
00:41:43protocols,
00:41:44rest assured,
00:41:45their outcomes
00:41:46will deteriorate.
00:41:47I don't wish
00:41:48it upon their
00:41:48patients,
00:41:49that's for sure.
00:41:50Remember this
00:41:51moment.
00:41:52In this battle
00:41:53for medical
00:41:53supremacy,
00:41:54Heart Medical
00:41:55Center will
00:41:56emerge victorious.
00:42:04It's 3 a.m.
00:42:06Lost track
00:42:07of time again.
00:42:10Viv, you
00:42:14surprised me.
00:42:16Looks like
00:42:17you could use
00:42:18an ice rub.
00:42:19Do you mind?
00:42:21No.
00:42:23I mean,
00:42:24yeah.
00:42:26Will you give
00:42:27all your surgeons
00:42:27massages?
00:42:29Only the ones
00:42:30I really, really
00:42:31like.
00:42:31You really, really
00:42:38like me?
00:42:39Adrienne, I've
00:42:40really, really
00:42:40liked you since
00:42:41residency.
00:42:43Nothing's
00:42:44changed.
00:42:45You were our
00:42:46most brilliant
00:42:47resident in the
00:42:47program.
00:42:49I never imagined
00:42:49someone like you
00:42:50would like me.
00:42:51There was never
00:42:51anyone else that
00:42:52got my attention.
00:42:54Only you.
00:42:55But you were
00:42:58completely oblivious.
00:43:00And then you
00:43:00just vanished
00:43:02from the
00:43:02program.
00:43:03Well, I left
00:43:04to join the
00:43:05Experimental
00:43:05Surgical Fellowship
00:43:06in Switzerland.
00:43:08I know.
00:43:11Your talent
00:43:11was extraordinary
00:43:12even then.
00:43:13Back then,
00:43:15I made a promise
00:43:16to myself that
00:43:16we would work
00:43:17together again
00:43:18someday.
00:43:19You know,
00:43:20when I established
00:43:21Heart Medical
00:43:21Center,
00:43:22my first priority
00:43:23was recruiting
00:43:24you.
00:43:25But that
00:43:26manipulative
00:43:27tyrant,
00:43:28Nelson Vale,
00:43:29had already
00:43:30secured your
00:43:30contracts with
00:43:32ridiculous incentives.
00:43:34I understand
00:43:35now.
00:43:42So,
00:43:43should we
00:43:45pick up where
00:43:46we left off
00:43:47in residency?
00:43:48You're the
00:43:49boss.
00:43:50That's right.
00:43:51And as your
00:43:52boss, I say,
00:43:53come home
00:43:55with me.
00:43:56Tonight?
00:43:57You lost
00:43:57everything when
00:43:58Preston fired you.
00:44:00Hospital privileges,
00:44:02research funding,
00:44:04even your
00:44:05hospital-subsidized
00:44:07apartment.
00:44:09You have
00:44:10literally nowhere
00:44:11else to go
00:44:11tonight.
00:44:13Come with me.
00:44:16Where?
00:44:18My place.
00:44:19My place.
00:44:19My place.
00:44:19My place.
00:44:23All right.
00:44:28I'll admit it.
00:44:30That was the best meal
00:44:31I've had in months.
00:44:32Careful, Dr. Marksman.
00:44:34I might start thinking
00:44:36you're easy to please.
00:44:37That just depends
00:44:38on the company.
00:44:39Well, starting tonight,
00:44:41this is your new home.
00:44:44Until the program's
00:44:45fully established,
00:44:46it just makes sense.
00:44:47Are you sure
00:44:48about that?
00:44:49We already work
00:44:50late hours.
00:44:52Living together
00:44:53could get complicated.
00:44:56Well, I like complicated.
00:44:58Keeps things
00:44:59interesting.
00:45:01And
00:45:01where exactly
00:45:03will I be sleeping?
00:45:04Well,
00:45:05my master suite
00:45:09has a
00:45:11California king.
00:45:12plenty of room
00:45:16if things ever
00:45:18need to get
00:45:19more
00:45:20collaborative.
00:45:23Really?
00:45:25Relax.
00:45:26I'm only teasing.
00:45:28Tonight,
00:45:29at least.
00:45:31Come on.
00:45:34I'll show you
00:45:35your room.
00:45:38Unless you'd rather
00:45:39have a nightcap.
00:45:40And mine.
00:45:42things could
00:45:48get dangerous.
00:45:54Is this
00:45:54pathetic attempt
00:45:55really the best
00:45:56that you can do?
00:46:01You are
00:46:01completely
00:46:02worthless as surgeons.
00:46:04Dr. Marksman,
00:46:04the experimental
00:46:06procedures we're
00:46:07trying to replicate
00:46:07here are
00:46:08extraordinarily intricate.
00:46:09We need at least
00:46:10six months
00:46:11to properly master
00:46:12six months.
00:46:14You have
00:46:1572 hours.
00:46:16And I expect
00:46:17hourly updates
00:46:18on my desk.
00:46:19Sir,
00:46:19brushing these
00:46:20delicate procedures
00:46:21dramatically increases
00:46:23the possibility
00:46:24of potentially
00:46:24fatal complications.
00:46:25Three days.
00:46:26Then you don't get
00:46:27one hour more.
00:46:29Go.
00:46:30Go.
00:46:30report,
00:46:35report, Dr. Marksman.
00:46:36What's our status?
00:46:37Excellent progress,
00:46:38Mr. Vale.
00:46:39We will be advancing
00:46:40to phase two
00:46:41implementation
00:46:41within three days.
00:46:43That's exactly
00:46:44what I wanted to hear.
00:46:45I knew my judgment
00:46:46in appointing you
00:46:47was flawless.
00:46:53Preston,
00:46:53I need an update
00:46:54on the experimental
00:46:55surgery program.
00:46:57Everything's proceeding
00:46:58perfectly, Father.
00:46:58Outstanding.
00:47:00When this is done,
00:47:01I'll throw you
00:47:02a huge party
00:47:03to celebrate
00:47:04the launch.
00:47:05Your father must
00:47:05be so proud of you.
00:47:07Keep up the good work,
00:47:08Dr. Marksman.
00:47:09I'll make sure my father
00:47:10understands your
00:47:11invaluable contribution.
00:47:13This is my shot.
00:47:15Why settle for
00:47:15chief of surgery?
00:47:16With the right maneuvering,
00:47:17I could become the next
00:47:18chief medical officer
00:47:19of Vale Hospital.
00:47:21Mr. Vale,
00:47:22my purpose
00:47:23is to execute
00:47:24the visionary
00:47:25medical strategies
00:47:26of brilliant administrators
00:47:28such as yourself.
00:47:30I believe that
00:47:31in the position
00:47:32of chief medical officer,
00:47:33I could implement
00:47:34your ideas
00:47:35more effectively
00:47:36throughout the entire hospital.
00:47:37If these procedures
00:47:38prove successful,
00:47:40I will personally discuss
00:47:41your advancement
00:47:41with the board.
00:47:42Truly, that's...
00:47:43I am profoundly grateful,
00:47:47sir.
00:47:56You're finally awake.
00:48:12You can keep appreciating
00:48:14the view while you eat.
00:48:16All right.
00:48:17Ooh, breakfast.
00:48:18Looks good.
00:48:22When you're finished eating,
00:48:24we'll head directly
00:48:24to the surgical wing.
00:48:26Sound good?
00:48:27Yes.
00:48:28Absolutely.
00:48:29Good.
00:48:31Get it up and running
00:48:32and there may be
00:48:33a special bonus
00:48:35waiting for you.
00:48:39Extra special.
00:48:49Okay, team.
00:48:50We're approaching
00:48:50a critical phase
00:48:51of our program development.
00:48:53We have groundbreaking
00:48:54procedures that we need
00:48:55to perfect in very little time.
00:48:57So, let's get to it.
00:48:59Let's start revolutionizing medicine.
00:49:01I have excellent news
00:49:02for all of you.
00:49:03I've just finalized
00:49:05arrangements with the board
00:49:06and upon successful implementation
00:49:08of our surgical innovations,
00:49:11each of you will receive
00:49:12a fully funded
00:49:13medical mission trip
00:49:14anywhere in the world
00:49:15that you choose
00:49:16to share your expertise.
00:49:17and when the time comes
00:49:20that our procedures
00:49:20receive national certification,
00:49:23every surgeon on this team
00:49:25will be gifted
00:49:26a percentage of the royalties
00:49:27from any techniques
00:49:28we patent.
00:49:31At Hart Medical Center,
00:49:33our surgeons
00:49:34are the lifeblood
00:49:35of our institution
00:49:36and you will be
00:49:38compensated accordingly.
00:49:39Dr. Hart,
00:49:43we are fully committed
00:49:45to making
00:49:45this surgical program
00:49:46a success.
00:49:47Absolutely.
00:49:48You'll be seeing progress
00:49:49ASAP.
00:49:50Vail Hospital
00:49:51won't know what hit him.
00:49:52With Adrian leading us,
00:49:53victory is guaranteed.
00:49:55Hart is best!
00:49:56Hart is best!
00:49:57Hart is best!
00:49:59Hart is best!
00:50:00Hart!
00:50:00Hart is best!
00:50:01won't know what it is!
00:50:28Hoing and Hoater
00:50:29Hart is best!
00:50:30You always this disciplined?
00:50:34Or are you just trying to impress me?
00:50:37If I was trying to impress you, you even know.
00:50:41Midnight meetings.
00:50:43Long hours.
00:50:46This work ethic of yours.
00:50:49It's a little dangerous.
00:50:53That's what Belle used to say about me.
00:50:56Then they fired me.
00:51:00Then they were fools.
00:51:04You've earned more than just respect here, Adrian.
00:51:07You know that, right?
00:51:13You trying to motivate me again?
00:51:16I don't try.
00:51:20I do.
00:51:24Well, don't work too late.
00:51:30You're no good to me, burnt out.
00:51:39The incompetence is staggering.
00:51:44Yeah, you too are in way over your heads.
00:51:46Do you really think that this is acceptable?
00:51:51I give you one simple task, and you screw it up.
00:51:55How the hell did either of you even finish residency?
00:51:59Vail General Hospital is the gold standard,
00:52:02and you two are just standing around like clueless little interns.
00:52:06If these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow,
00:52:08you're both gone.
00:52:10Is that clear?
00:52:10Yes, sir.
00:52:12This is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team?
00:52:18Go.
00:52:24Oh, Mr. Vail.
00:52:26What a surprise.
00:52:28Cut the bullshit, Marksman.
00:52:30We're on schedule or not.
00:52:32Of course.
00:52:34We're just refining the final stages.
00:52:38Yeah, everything is under control.
00:52:40Good.
00:52:41But there's a problem.
00:52:42I expect to hear it from you.
00:52:43No cover-ups.
00:52:44Of course, sir.
00:52:48Mr. Vail.
00:52:49Not now.
00:52:50Go get me the latest performance reports.
00:52:55It, uh...
00:52:57Looks like Preston's growing a little cold
00:52:59on our lovely administrator here.
00:53:02Don't worry.
00:53:03When Preston makes me chief medical officer,
00:53:05I'm gonna need someone flexible in my corner.
00:53:09I was back at the winning team, Dr. Marksman.
00:53:19Today, Vail Hospital officially launched
00:53:21its highly anticipated next-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?
00:53:40Relax, Mr. Vail.
00:53:42Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance.
00:53:45I hope you're right.
00:53:47For your sake.
00:53:49Didn't you say that if the rollout went well
00:53:54that you'd make me chief 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,
00:54:07it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate
00:54:08for a long time.
00:54:09Dr. Hurt, we, um, have a problem.
00:54:25Vail Hospital's new surgical program launches today.
00:54:28That's soon?
00:54:29They're hosting a big celebration party tonight.
00:54:34It's a good thing we're ahead of...
00:54:36You're saying we're ready?
00:54:40Why would I lie?
00:54:41We've been tracking Vail's every move.
00:54:44Let him celebrate.
00:54:45It's just gonna backfire.
00:54:47How exactly does that work in our favor?
00:54:50Babe, do 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.
00:54:59And?
00:54:59Their model's flawed.
00:55:01If they keep moving forward
00:55:03without realizing their structural failure
00:55:04and their approach...
00:55:06We won't have to lift a damn finger.
00:55:09And what about when it falls apart?
00:55:10Then Heart Medical takes over
00:55:12as the future of modern surgery.
00:55:15So 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 they could have gotten this far this fast.
00:55:23They're using an early draft
00:55:25full of mistakes that I won't make again.
00:55:28They don't even realize the cracks in their foundation.
00:55:30That actually makes perfect sense.
00:55:35Which means we've already won.
00:55:38Well, this is a big day for us.
00:55:40We should celebrate.
00:55:41What do you have in mind?
00:55:42Drinks?
00:55:43Not quite.
00:55:45You and I are crashing the Vail launch party tonight.
00:55:48What?
00:55:48Why?
00:55:51Let me worry about that.
00:55:52In the meantime,
00:55:53ensure a smooth rollout,
00:55:54finish whatever procedures you need to,
00:55:57and meet me in the lobby
00:55:58at 8 p.m. sharp.
00:55:59Preston, we've been through so much together.
00:56:17I know where I'm headed in life,
00:56:19and I know who I want by my side.
00:56:22Tonight, at this launch party,
00:56:25celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program,
00:56:27is, like, the perfect moment to ask,
00:56:31will you marry me?
00:56:37This should be fun.
00:56:41Absolutely.
00:56:43You really know how to take care of your staff, Mr. Vail?
00:56:46Stop it.
00:56:47Too bad you're taken.
00:56:48Yeah, yeah, what a shame.
00:56:50Where the fuck is Fiona?
00:56:52Told her meet me out here
00:56:53so we can go to this party together.
00:56:55Forget about her.
00:56:56She's just social climbing trash anyways.
00:56:59We'll show you a better time.
00:57:00Yeah.
00:57:04Now that's an offer I can't refuse.
00:57:05Let's go.
00:57:06Fiona who?
00:57:10Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:57:12Let me get you off.
00:57:13The number you have dialed is unavailable.
00:57:36Please, try again later.
00:57:38Please, please.
00:57:38It's 20 in one day.
00:58:03All clean, all stable.
00:58:06Experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.
00:58:09You did it.
00:58:11No.
00:58:12We didn't.
00:58:16Dr. Marksman,
00:58:17you 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.
00:58:23Where's Vivian?
00:58:25Taking care of something.
00:58:27She said it's really important that you be there
00:58:28and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:58:32Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vail Hospital's
00:58:35revolutionary surgical program.
00:58:36What 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.
00:58:58Yeah.
00:58:58God knows why I chose you, but I did.
00:59:01So if you want to keep your job and your status,
00:59:03sober up for God's sakes.
00:59:06Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?
00:59:26It's giving orderly sheep.
00:59:32Maybe he's here to bust tables.
00:59:33What are you doing at our launch party?
00:59:37You weren't invited.
00:59:38You 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.
00:59:47Look who crawled in from the gutter.
00:59:50The failed surgeon.
00:59:51The fraud.
00:59:53The nobody.
00:59:55Show up to my party in dirty scrubs, Marksman?
00:59:57Thought 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.
01:00:16I 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.
01:00:33When you're all arrested for medical malpractice, criminal negligence, and identity theft.
01:00:39What are you talking, Bill?
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.
01:00:59This 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.
01:01:26I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:01:30What are you dumbasses doing?
01:01:32Grab him!
01:01:32Grab him!
01:01:32Christy!
01:01:47What the hell is this?
01:01:50Dad.
01:01:52Relax.
01:01:52I, uh...
01:01:53Relax?
01:01:53This twat came in uninvited.
01:01:57I was just kicking him out.
01:01:57Guards!
01:01:58Remove him immediately.
01:01:59President Vale, 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.
01:02:17This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...
01:02:22Uh, you are a...
01:02:24Disgraced!
01:02:26Dad!
01:02:28My hospital meant something and you turned it into a...
01:02:32Into a...
01:02:33Dad!
01:02:35Dad!
01:02:40Dad!
01:02:42President Vale, fuck away from my dad!
01:02:46Are you out of your mind?
01:02:47He is the best surgeon in this room.
01:02:49Oh, 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.
01:02:58It'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.
01:03:15You're 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.
01:03:27I can't blow my cover, but...
01:03:29What 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.
01:03:44Let it go.
01:03:45I...
01:03:46I...
01:03:46I...
01:03:48I can't.
01:03:50I can't do this.
01:03:52Okay, 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.
01:04:14I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.
01:04:20Okay.
01:04:22Okay.
01:04:23I got it, I got it.
01:04:25Here, take it, take it, take it.
01:04:26Okay.
01:04:27All right, hold his head, but tilt it back and apply pressure here.
01:04:32Okay.
01:04:33Okay.
01:04:44Okay.
01:04:45Okay.
01:04:47Pretty.
01:04:49Four.
01:04:50Oh, thank God.
01:04:55How are you?
01:04:56Let out.
01:05:01Oh, that's my guy.
01:05:05Surgical genius.
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, say the word.
01:05:17Now, do I have to have somebody escort you out?
01:05:21That maneuver, that notebook.
01:05:24It's mine.
01:05:25Then tell them.
01:05:26Where is he going?
01:05:32Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program at another fake hospital.
01:05:37Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?
01:05:39Say, hey, why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life?
01:05:42That procedure David used, I 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.
01:06:01My handwriting.
01:06:03My 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,
01:06:15then it will.
01:06:16You'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 always tell the truth.
01:06:34Our three's vitals 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 fail method doesn't hold under stress.
01:06:46I mean, come on.
01:06:48Tonight proves it.
01:06:49We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country.
01:07:00I'll be right back.
01:07:01Just 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.
01:07:15That only works in control scenarios.
01:07:18We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.
01:07:22Look, just follow the notes.
01:07:27I 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.
01:07:36They tried to commercialize your success without you.
01:07:40Now people are paying for it.
01:07:43All 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.
01:07:54You'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.
01:08:07Oh, shit.
01:08:14Oh, yes.
01:08:15This is Dr. Marksman.
01:08:16Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:08:21Okay.
01:08:21Listen very carefully.
01:08:22Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.
01:08:32No.
01:08:32You need to perform a Marksman-modified Pringle maneuver with selective hepatic arterial ligation,
01:08:38followed by a rapid-sequence vascular anatomosis using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures.
01:08:46Yes.
01:08:48Yes.
01:08:49How do we even know he made a phone call?
01:08:54This 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.
01:09:15He humiliated.
01:09:16You're right.
01:09:17I was fired.
01:09:17And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary.
01:09:24Yeah, you 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.
01:09:56And thanks to Adrian's guidance, our surgeons were able to stabilize the coating 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.
01:10:15Dad?
01:10:16You 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.
01:10:30Because 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.
01:11:12You can't prove that.
01:11:13Security 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.
01:11:39He put lives at risk to prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program.
01:11:46We're going to need to open a formal investigation on this.
01:11:48This is absurd.
01:11:51This was supposed to be our night.
01:11:53Oh, it's your night.
01:11:55Just not the way you thought it'd be.
01:11:56You 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, these 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?
01:12:41No, 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?
01:13:11I'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.
01:13:32Mr. Preston Vale, Dr. David Marksman, come 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 your side-built, Dad!
01:13:49You're just getting slapped out of a...
01:13:50Dad!
01:13:51Why don't you do something, please?
01:13:52Get off me!
01:13:52I'm Mr. Arnold!
01:13:53You're not a child!
01:13:55You're not my responsibility.
01:13:56Oh.
01:13:57Oh.
01:13:57Oh.
01:13:57Oh.
01:13:57Oh.
01:13:58Oh.
01:13:58Oh.
01:13:58Oh.
01:13:59Oh.
01:14:00Oh.
01:14:01Oh.
01:14:01Oh.
01:14:02Oh.
01:14:02Adrian, 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.
01:14:27You don't understand.
01:14:29I thought he was finished.
01:14:30I thought he had nothing left.
01:14:33I 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.
01:14:49Please.
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.
01:15:18The 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.
01:15:29And 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.
01:15:44Well, all 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.
01:16:04Just 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!
01:16:20Now!
01:16:24Oh!
01:16:28Move back!
01:16:29Corma has good timing.
01:16:41Speaking 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.
01:16:52And I still owe you that extra special bonus.
01:16:58Now?
01:16:59We'll just spend a time like the present.
01:17:09This is what victory tastes like.
01:17:10It's not bad.
01:17:12I need a second opinion.
01:17:17Well, I've got all night.
01:17:19And you're not leaving this room until I've properly celebrated my genius surgeon.
01:17:24Should I be afraid of a performance review?
01:17:26You're already exceeding expectations.
01:17:30But I am very thorough.
01:17:39Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.
01:17:44Besides meeting you, of course.
01:17:46You're not leaving this room until you're not leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving this room until you're leaving
