00:00:00A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending 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, their 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.
00:00:26Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding.
00:00:28Well, I can't leave this one. Where's Dr. Stevens?
00:00:30We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the U.R.
00:00:50Need a hand?
00:00:51A 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?
00:00:59Patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:01Then 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.
00:01:17That's insane.
00:01:18Mets and bomb scissors.
00:01:21Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:25That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive.
00:01:29Bovey cautery.
00:01:33Watch.
00:01:33He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:42The bleeding. It's under control.
00:01:44But how did he...
00:01:46Silk 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.
00:02:13This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:15Jesus, Adrian.
00:02:25What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:02:28I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but...
00:02:30That...
00:02:31That 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.
00:02:40I heard President Bale personally recruited a medical prodigy
00:02:43who revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.
00:02:47Is that you?
00:02:54Final suture.
00:02:56Miss Bale's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:03:03Doctor.
00:03:05The nurses.
00:03:07They said you did it.
00:03:09And you...
00:03:10You actually did.
00:03:13Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.
00:03:17Every surgeon on the West Coast said it was inoperable,
00:03:20that she only had weeks to live, but...
00:03:22You...
00:03:23You saved my Catherine.
00:03:26She'll make a full recovery, President Bale.
00:03:28Name your price, whatever it is.
00:03:30We need you at Bale.
00:03:31My hospital.
00:03:35Look, I'll explain later.
00:03:36Right now we have three critical patients
00:03:38that need specialized procedures.
00:03:40It's going to take hours.
00:03:41Y'all should go home.
00:03:43Get some rest.
00:03:44I'll take over from here.
00:03:46Okay.
00:03:48Good work, everyone.
00:03:49Good work, everyone.
00:03:49Good work.

00:25:19of course i consulted my father
00:25:22he's the one who specifically mentioned his
00:25:26dangerous surgical shortcuts
00:25:27and inflated reputation
00:25:29dangerous shortcuts
00:25:30is that what president veil really said
00:25:34his exact words were

00:29:54reputation as the responsible party i demand that you issue a formal apology to one of the major
00:30:00medical journals and with an explanation to every affected vale hospital patient
00:30:07refuse me and i will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently that accusation isn't
00:30:14just baseness it's absurd what exactly do you think you're gonna do about it you've got no choice but
00:30:20to sign this confession oh stop threatening my chief surgeon if you insist on pursuing this vendetta
00:30:26have your attorney send a formal complaint to heart medical center we'll consider it nothing less than
00:30:32a declaration of total war if it's war you want i will obliterate your dime store clinic with everything

00:32:45nelson vale speaking president vale dr vivian hart here i am calling to let you know that as of this
00:32:56morning hart medical center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena revolutionary surgical
00:33:02procedures are vale hospital's domain are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight
00:33:08this is merely a professional courtesy call not an invitation for debate now just
00:33:20just that conniving bitch plotting she knows adrian is our surgical secret weapon why would she
00:33:27deliberately provoke a medical war she has absolutely no chance of winning unless
00:33:38uh
00:33:42we've got multiple traumas coming in just tell me you didn't fire dr marksman
00:33:46dad relax fired the other one that incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned
00:33:52explain to me why heart medical center believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy
00:33:59because i astrophly led vivian hard into a false sense of reality
00:34:04It's not a 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 disgraced, discarded loser.
00:34:16So you deliberately manipulated Vivian?
00:34:19She thinks she's hired genius behind Vail Hospital's groundbreaking procedures.
00:34:24That's why she had the audacity to declare war on you.
00:34:27Impressive, son. You'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.
00:34:40Dad, this is everything I've worked for. Thank you.
00:34:43We'll get to work immediately.
00:34:45We're going to expose Hart Medical Center for the low-grade institution it truly is.
00:34:52Their humiliation will be quick and absolute.
00:34:56I won't let you down.
00:34:58Darling, surgical innovation is the future of Vail.
00:35:03Preston only got his MBA last year.
00:35:05Do 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?
00:35:22Dr. Adrian Marksman.
00:35:24Exactly.
00:35:25And all I need to do is stay hands-off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents.
00:35:35As long as Adrian is with Vail Hospital, Hart Medical Center has no chance of competing.
00:35:42Not only that, Vivian fell for Preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster, Dr. David Marksman.
00:35:51All we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble.
00:35:59So, now that you've seen the surgical department, what do you think?
00:36:11It's not bad.
00:36:12It'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.
00:36:25You need to expand.
00:36:27It's too small for what I'm planning.
00:36:30Also, I heard you weren't the only surgeon Preston Vale fired.
00:36:40We have all the angles figured out, don't you?
00:36:42And I always find the best one.
00:36:44I'm gonna start recruiting.
00:36:54Good.
00:36:56The faster we rise, the more rewarding this partnership becomes.
00:37:14This better be good.
00:37:17Mr. Vale, you wanted to see me?
00:37:25My father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department.
00:37:30Given your new position as chief of surgery, I'm appointing you head of innovation.
00:37:35Mr. 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 significant resources to my personal research.
00:37:53Mr. Vale, you can trust me completely.
00:37:56I am precisely the right man for the job.
00:37:58Preston, we have a catastrophe on our hands.
00:38:03Two attending surgeons just submitted their resignation simultaneously.
00:38:06The department can't possibly maintain its caseload.
00:38:09What?
00:38:10They both resigned at once?
00:38:11What was their explanation?
00:38:12They refused to disclose their reasons.
00:38:13But there's talk they were recruited by a former Vale physician.
00:38:16Along with the three other surgeons you fired before.
00:38:19Former physician Adrian Marksman.
00:38:21This has his saboteur signature all over it.
00:38:24President, what is our contingency plan?
00:38:26The surgical department is severely understaffed.
00:38:28If any more surgeons leave, patients will suffer.
00:38:31Okay, everybody needs to remain calm.
00:38:34You still have me.
00:38:37I can rebuild this department.
00:38:39Ah, yes.
00:38:40With your stellar reputation, we should be able to get the best of the best.
00:38:44Exactly.
00:38:45So we lost some second-rate talent.
00:38:47Let him go.
00:38:50I'll make some calls to Cedars-Sinai.
00:38:53And UCLA.
00:38:55Good work, Marksman.
00:38:56This is working out perfectly.
00:39:01Now I can install my own allies in key positions.
00:39:04Soon, I'll control the entire hospital's medical direction.
00:39:08It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Hart.
00:39:33This is Dr. Parker here.
00:39:38He's a triple board certified surgeon.
00:39:41And soon, he'll be the head of trauma surgery.
00:39:43This is Dr. Rose, Chen, Rose, and Thomas.
00:39:48All consummate professionals.
00:39:50My most trusted colleagues back at Vail.
00:39:55With this surgical team, Hart Medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country.
00:40:02Actually, the whole world.
00:40:04We're here to begin, Dr. Hart.
00:40:06Well, welcome to Hart Medical Center.
00:40:10I am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us, but I do need to be transparent.
00:40:17We have got considerable ground to cover before we can truly challenge Vail Hospital's dominance.
00:40:22Have no fear, Dr. Hart.
00:40:24With Adrian leading our team, we'll be three steps ahead of anything Vail attempts.
00:40:29Yes, but Vail has already implemented Adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols.
00:40:35Yeah, about that.
00:40:36It's a preliminary version.
00:40:38If they continue to develop this approach without modification...
00:40:41Then what?
00:40:42A lot of deaths.
00:40:44A lot of lawsuits.
00:40:45A lot of patients could be harmed.
00:40:47Or worse.
00:40:48These procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement.
00:40:53Those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training.
00:40:57Without that foundation...
00:40:58We're talking about serious complications.
00:41:01Preventable harm.
00:41:02Our first priority has to be patient safety.
00:41:05We need to perfect these procedures.
00:41:07And then we can find a way to prevent Vail from continuing with the flawed protocols.
00:41:12Exactly.
00:41:13It's not about competition or pride.
00:41:15It's about saving lives.
00:41:17We're using our experience with the trial procedures I did at Vail to develop next-generation surgical techniques, eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies.
00:41:30Even if Vail Hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new, we'll maintain our significant advantage.
00:41:40And if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols, rest assured, their outcomes will deteriorate.
00:41:47I don't wish it upon their patients, that's for sure.
00:41:49Remember this moment.
00:41:51In this battle for medical supremacy, Heart Medical Center will emerge victorious.
00:42:04It's 3am.
00:42:06Lost track of time again.
00:42:07Viv, you surprised me.
00:42:14Looks like you could use a nice rub.
00:42:19Do you mind?
00:42:20No.
00:42:22I mean, yeah.
00:42:25Will you give all your surgeons massages?
00:42:28Only the ones I really, really like.
00:42:30You really, really liked me?
00:42:38Adrienne, I've really, really liked you since residency.
00:42:42Nothing's changed.
00:42:45You were our most brilliant resident in the program.
00:42:48I never imagined someone like you would like me.
00:42:50There was never anyone else that got my attention.
00:42:54Only you.
00:42:55But you were completely oblivious.
00:42:59And then you just vanished from the program.
00:43:03Well, I left to join the Experimental Surgical Fellowship in Switzerland.
00:43:07I know.
00:43:10Your talent was extraordinary even then.
00:43:14Back then, I made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday.
00:43:18You know, when I established Heart Medical Center, my first priority was recruiting you.
00:43:23But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Vale, had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives.
00:43:34I understand now.
00:43:42So, should we pick up where we left off in residency?
00:43:48You're the boss.
00:43:49That's right.
00:43:51And as your boss, I say, come home with me.
00:43:55Tonight?
00:43:56You lost everything when Preston fired you.
00:43:59Hospital privileges, research funding, even your hospital-subsidized apartment.
00:44:09You have literally nowhere else to go tonight.
00:44:13Come with me.
00:44:16Where?
00:44:18My place.
00:44:27Alright.
00:44:28I'll admit it.
00:44:30That was the best meal I've had in months.
00:44:32Careful, Dr. Marksman.
00:44:34I might start thinking you're easy to please.
00:44:37That just depends on the company.
00:44:38Well, starting tonight, this is your new home.
00:44:43Until the program's fully established, it just makes sense.
00:44:47Are you sure about that?
00:44:49We already work late hours.
00:44:51Living together could get complicated.
00:44:55Well, I like complicated.
00:44:57Keeps things interesting.
00:44:59And where exactly will I be sleeping?
00:45:04Well, my master suite has a California king.
00:45:15Plenty of room.
00:45:16If things ever need to get more collaborative.
00:45:22Really?
00:45:24Relax.
00:45:26I'm only teasing.
00:45:28Tonight, at least.
00:45:30Come on.
00:45:34I'll show you your room.
00:45:35Unless you'd rather have a nightcap.
00:45:39And mine.
00:45:47Things could get dangerous.
00:45:48Is this pathetic attempt really the best that you can do?
00:46:00You are completely worthless as surgeons.
00:46:03Dr. Marksman.
00:46:05The experimental procedures we're trying to replicate here are extraordinarily intricate.
00:46:09We need at least six months to properly master-
00:46:12Six months?
00:46:14You have 72 hours.
00:46:15And I expect hourly updates on my desk.
00:46:19Sir, rushing these delicate procedures dramatically increases the possibility of potentially fatal complications.
00:46:25Three days.
00:46:27And you don't get one hour more.
00:46:29Go. Go.
00:46:34Report, Dr. Marksman.
00:46:36What's our status?
00:46:38Excellent progress, Mr. Vale.
00:46:40We will be advancing to phase two implementation within three days.
00:46:43That's exactly what I wanted to hear.
00:46:45I knew my judgment in appointing you was flawless.
00:46:52Preston, I need an update on the experimental surgery program.
00:46:57Everything's proceeding perfectly, Father.
00:46:59Outstanding!
00:47:00When this is done, I'll throw you a huge party to celebrate the launch.
00:47:05Your father must be so proud of you.
00:47:07Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:47:09I'll make sure my father understands your invaluable contribution.
00:47:12This is my shot.
00:47:14Why settle for chief of surgery?
00:47:16With the right maneuvering, I could become the next chief medical officer of Vale Hospital.
00:47:20Mr. Vale, my purpose is to execute the visionary medical strategies of brilliant administrators such as yourself.
00:47:29I believe that in the position of chief medical officer, I could implement your ideas more effectively throughout the entire hospital.
00:47:37If these procedures prove successful, I will personally discuss your advancement with the board.
00:47:41Truly, that's...
00:47:42I am profoundly grateful, sir.
00:48:06You're finally awake.
00:48:07You can keep appreciating the view while you eat.
00:48:15Alright.
00:48:17Ooh, breakfast.
00:48:18Looks good.
00:48:22When you're finished eating, we'll head directly to the surgical wing.
00:48:26Sound good?
00:48:27Yes.
00:48:28Absolutely.
00:48:29Good.
00:48:30Get it up and running and there may be a special bonus waiting for you.
00:48:39Extra special.
00:48:49Okay, team.
00:48:50We're approaching a critical phase of our program development.
00:48:52We have groundbreaking procedures that we need to 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 for all of you.
00:49:03I've just finalized arrangements with the board.
00:49:06And upon successful implementation of our surgical innovations, each of you will receive a fully funded medical mission trip anywhere in the world that you choose to share your expertise.
00:49:16And when the time comes that our procedures receive national certification, every surgeon on this team will be gifted a percentage of the royalties from any techniques we patent.
00:49:31At Hart Medical Center, our surgeons are the lifeblood of our institution.
00:49:37And you will be compensated accordingly.
00:49:39Dr. Hart, we are fully committed to making this surgical program a success.
00:49:47Absolutely.
00:49:48You'll be seeing progress ASAP.
00:49:50Vail Hospital won't know what hit him.
00:49:52With Adrian leading us, victory is guaranteed.
00:49:55Hart is best!

00:50:30Are you 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.
00:51:26You're no good to me, Burned 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, you'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.
00:52:41There'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, looks like Preston's growing a little cold on 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 its highly anticipated next-generation surgical program.
00:53:25This cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry,
00:53:31especially as Heart Medical's competing program was released on the same day.
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.
00:53:44I hope you're right.
00:53:47For your sake.
00:53:51Didn't you say that, uh, if the rollout went well, that you'd make me chief medical officer?
00:53:57It's not a success.
00:53:58It'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 for 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 soon?
00:54:29They're hosting a big celebration party tonight.
00:54:32It's a good thing we're ahead of...
00:54:37You'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?
00:54:50Viv, do you remember what I told you when 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.
00:55:00If they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure and 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 as the future of modern surgery.
00:55:15So you're saying that Vail Hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that 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 full 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.
00:55:44You and I are crashing the Vail launch party tonight.
00:55:48What?
00:55:49Why?
00:55:50Let me worry about that.
00:55:52In the meantime, ensure a smooth rollout.
00:55:54Finish whatever procedures you need to.
00:55:57And meet me in the lobby at 8 p.m. sharp.
00:55:59Preston, we've been through so much together.
00:56:16I know where I'm headed in life, and I know who I want by my side.
00:56:22Tonight, at this launch party, celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program.
00:56:28It's like the perfect moment to ask,
00:56:30Will you marry me?
00:56:37It 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.
00:56:49Yeah, what a shame.
00:56:50Where the fuck is Fiona?
00:56:52Told her meet me out here so 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.
00:57:00Now 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 go.
00:57:24The number you have dialed is unavailable.
00:57:36Please, try again later.
00:57:38Please.
00:57:38This is 20 in one day.
00:58:04All clean.
00:58:05All stable.
00:58:06The experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.
00:58:09You did it.
00:58:11No.
00:58:12We didn't.
00:58:16Dr. Marksman, you have to get to Vail's launch party pronto.
00:58:19You're already late.
00:58:20I need a change then.
00:58:21You don't have time.
00:58:22Where's Vivian?
00:58:25Taking care of something.
00:58:27She said it's really important that you be there and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:58:30Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vail Hospital's revolutionary 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.
00:59:00So if you want to keep your job and your status sober up, for God's sakes.
00:59:04Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?
00:59:26It's giving orderly sheep.
00:59:29Maybe he's here to bust tables.
00:59:35What are you doing at our launch party?
00:59:37You weren't invited.
00:59:38You 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.
00:59:46Look who crawled in from the gutter.
00:59:50The found surgeon.
00:59:51The fraud.
00:59:53The nobody.
00:59:55Show up to my party in dirty scrubs, Marksman?
00:59:57I thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the low lives.
01:00:01Guess I need to fire them, too.
01:00:03Pardon me.
01:00:03I just came straight from surgery.
01:00:05Because some of us here are real surgeons.
01:00:08What are you trying to say?
01:00:09I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody, isn't me.
01:00:18I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.
01:00:22Got some nerve talking to my man Marksman like that.
01:00:25The 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.
01:00:40What are you talking about?
01:00:43Identity theft?
01:00:45Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?
01:00:47Yours?
01:00:47Let 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.
01:01:11Isn't that right, Dr. Marksman?
01:01:15That's enough.
01:01:16Guards, this former employee is 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?
01:01:31Grab him.
01:01:32Christy.
01:01:48What the hell is this?
01:01:50Dad.
01:01:52Relax.
01:01:52I, uh...
01:01:53Relax?
01:01:55This twat came in uninvited.
01:01:57I was just kicking him out.
01:01:57Guards, remove 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 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 doing?
01:02:16Open your eyes, Preston.
01:02:18This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...
01:02:22You are a...
01:02:24Disgraced!
01:02:26Dad!
01:02:26My hospital meant something and...
01:02:30You turned it into a...
01:02:32Into a...
01:02:33You...
01:02:34Dad!
01:02:35Dad!
01:02:40Dad!
01:02:42President Vale.
01:02:44Fuck away from my dad!
01:02:46Are you out of your mind?
01:02:47He is the best surgeon in this room.
01:02:49Oh 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.
01:03:14Why are you just standing there?
01:03:16Do something!
01:03:17Uh...
01:03:18What's the matter, David?
01:03:20If you need help, just ask.
01:03:23All you have to do is admit what you did.
01:03:25Right here.
01:03:26Right now.
01:03:28I can't blow my cover, but...
01:03:30What if I kill him?
01:03:32I don't know anything about surgeries.
01:03:34I don't even know what's wrong with them.
01:03:37I did medical school on Zoom.
01:03:39David, this is a matter of life and death.
01:03:43Let it go!
01:03:44I...
01:03:46I...
01:03:47I...
01:03:48I can't.
01:03:51I 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.
01:04:03That's my surgical notebook.
01:04:05He stole it from me.
01:04:06Okay, 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, take it.
01:04:26Okay.
01:04:27All right, hold his head.
01:04:29But tilt it back and apply pressure here.
01:04:33Okay.
01:04:34All right.
01:04:44Okay.
01:04:46Okay.
01:04:47Great.
01:04:49Four.
01:04:50Oh, thank God.
01:04:55How are you?
01:04:56Let out.
01:05:01Oh, that's my guy.
01:05:04Surgical genius.
01:05:07That's how Val makes history.
01:05:09Somebody 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.
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 at another fake hospital.
01:05:36Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?
01:05:39Say, hey, why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life?
01:05:46That procedure David used, I invented it.
01:05:49What 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.
01:06:04I'm 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.
01:06:18You'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 always tell the truth.
01:06:34Our three's vitals has just dropped.
01:06:36We've got uncontrolled bleeding.
01:06:37Second patient today.
01:06:38Same issue.
01:06:39Vessel ligation failed mid-operation.
01:06:42These techniques aren't viable.
01:06:43The veil method doesn't hold under stress.
01:06:47I mean, come on.
01:06:48Tonight proves it.
01:06:49We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country.
01:06:59I'll be right back.
01:07:01Just coordinating with the team.
01:07:03Talk 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.
01:07:23I designed those techniques for one-on-one guidance.
01:07:30Not mass implementation.
01:07:32Without calibration.
01:07:34It's unstable.
01:07:36It's dangerous.
01:07:37They tried to commercialize your success without you.
01:07:40Now people are paying for it.
01:07:43All good?
01:07:44Of course.
01:07:46Just routine coordination.
01:07:47Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.
01:07:51Your surgical program is failing.
01:07:53And patients are suffering.
01:07:55You've been out of the field for months.
01:07:57You wouldn't know?
01:07:58Yeah, I would know.
01:07:59Because the procedures that you're butchering, I invented.
01:08:02And I'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing.
01:08:07Oh, shit.
01:08:08Oh, yes, this is Dr. Marksman.
01:08:17Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:08:21Okay, listen very carefully.
01:08:23Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging
01:08:27because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.
01:08:32No, you need to perform a Marksman-modified Pringle maneuver
01:08:35with selective hepatic arterial ligation.
01:08:38Followed by a rapid-sequence vascular anatomosis
01:08:41using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures.
01:08:46Yes.
01:08:48Yes.
01:08:51How 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.
01:09:06Show them all a technique that I didn't create.
01:09:09Why would we believe anything he says?
01:09:14He was fired.
01:09:15He was humiliated.
01:09:16You're right, 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?
01:09:33Even 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.
01:10:18Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.
01:10:20This hospital was built on trust and integrity.
01:10:24And 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.
01:10:43Well, they're listening now.
01:10:45You 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.
01:11:14Security footage.
01:11:18Of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital.
01:11:22Already submitted to the board.
01:11:24I 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.
01:11:42To 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.
01:11:53It's just 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.
01:12:07You 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.
01:12:47And 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.
01:13:09Taking 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.
01:13:16We 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, Dr. David Marksman, come with us.
01:13:40Dad, you're not going to let him 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 son!
01:13:48I built that!
01:13:49I'm just kidding.
01:13:49Son of a...
01:13:50Dad!
01:13:50I'm your son!
01:13:51Do something!
01:13:52Get off me!
01:13:52My sister!
01:13:53I'm your son!
01:13:53I'm your son!
01:13:54I'm your son!
01:13:54I'm your son!
01:13:55You're not my responsibility!
01:13:56Adrian, please!
01:14:04Adrian, 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.
01:14:10You were right about everything.
01:14:12You were right about everything.
01:14:15Just 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.
01:14:49Please.
01:14:51Say something.
01:14:54Anything.
01:14:55You had your chance, Fiona.
01:14:57And you spent it holding Preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive.
01:15:10You 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.
01:15:24And David will never go near another patient again.
01:15:28We're rebuilding.
01:15:29And I want you back as Vale's chief of experimental surgery.
01:15:36I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.
01:15:39You had your chance, too.
01:15:41I'm not the same man that you fired.
01:15:44Well, all the more reason we need you back at Vale.
01:15:47Adrian 2.0.
01:15:49I'm not coming back.
01:15:53You're choosing her?
01:15:55Our rival?
01:15:56You arrogant little ingrate.
01:15:58I open the door for you 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!
01:16:20Karma has good timing.
01:16:38Speaking of timing, we should get back to work.
01:16:45We have lives to save.
01:16:46Hey, not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.
01:16:52I still owe you that extra special bonus.
01:16:58Now?
01:16:59Well, just in a time like the present.
01:17:08This is what victory tastes like.
01:17:11It's not bad.
01:17:13I need a second opinion.
01:17:16Well, 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.
01:17:39Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.
01:17:44Besides meeting you, of course.
