00:00:00Patients crashing! We need an attending surgeon now!

00:00:03The patient won't survive.

00:00:04Watch.

00:00:05Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level one trauma like this!

00:00:09This patient's going to make a full recovery.

00:00:11What you just did will go down in the history of us.

00:00:14Who is this guy?

00:00:15He's taking over as hospital administrator.

00:00:17New management, new standards.

00:00:19Sleeping after a shift?

00:00:20You are fired! I just worked all night.

00:00:23Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon!

00:00:25He's the one!

00:00:26Didn't I fire you too already?

00:00:28Get your hand off my gun!

00:00:31We're done, Adrian.

00:00:32I need someone with a future.

00:00:34Dr. Marksman, would you consider joining Heart Medical Center as our chief of surgery?

00:00:39This isn't about money.

00:00:40Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you?

00:00:45These are his revolutionary procedures.

00:00:47With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.

00:00:50Please! Dad!

00:00:51Uh...

00:00:52Why are you just standing there? Do something!

00:00:53If you need help, just ask.

00:00:55All you have to do is admit what you did.

00:00:58A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured patients flooding into Vail Hospital's emergency department.

00:01:11The fate of these accident victims now rests in the hands of Vail's surgical team, their last hope for survival in the face of devastating trauma.

00:01:20Facials crashing! We need an attending surgeon now!

00:01:23All the hours are full. We got three more clinicals incoming!

00:01:26Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding.

00:01:29I can't leave this one. Where's Dr. Stevens?

00:01:31We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the U.R.

00:01:34Need a hand?

00:01:51A new hire. You just started this month.

00:01:55Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level one trauma like this!

00:01:59The patient's pressure is dropping.

00:02:01Then prove yourself, Dr. Marksman. The patient's yours.

00:02:10Okay, we are going to perform a modified Whipple.

00:02:13Whipple? For trauma? That's insane.

00:02:16Trust me.

00:02:18Medicine bomb scissors?

00:02:21Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.

00:02:26That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive.

00:02:29Bobicottery?

00:02:33Watch.

00:02:35He's doing it in half the normal time.

00:02:42The bleeding? It's under control.

00:02:45But how did he...

00:02:48Silk Sutra?

00:02:54Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.

00:02:58I've never seen anything like this.

00:03:04Almost done.

00:03:14This patient's going to make a full recovery.

00:03:16Jesus, Adrian. What you just pulled off is impossible.

00:03:28I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but that...

00:03:31That was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed.

00:03:34Where did you learn to operate like that?

00:03:36What you just did will go down in the history books.

00:03:39Wait.

00:03:40I heard President Vail personally recruited a medical prodigy

00:03:43who revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.

00:03:47Is that you?

00:03:55Final suture.

00:03:57Miss Vail's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.

00:04:03Doctor!

00:04:06The nurses...

00:04:07They said you did it.

00:04:09And you...

00:04:11You actually did.

00:04:15Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.

00:04:17Every surgeon on the West Coast said it was inoperable,

00:04:20that she only had weeks to live, but...

00:04:23You...

00:04:25You saved my Catherine.

00:04:26She'll make a full recovery, President Vail.

00:04:29Name your price, whatever it is.

00:04:30We need you at Vail.

00:04:32My hospital.

00:04:33Look, I'll explain later.

00:04:36Right now we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.

00:04:40It's gonna take hours.

00:04:42Y'all should go home.

00:04:43Get some rest.

00:04:45I'll take over from here.

00:04:47Okay.

00:04:49Good work, everyone.

00:05:03They're all stable.

00:05:04Every single one of them.

00:05:05Stabilized.

00:05:06Oh, sun's coming up.

00:05:07We must have operated all night.

00:05:08You're a machine.

00:05:09Well, that's why they don't work.

00:05:10They're all stable.

00:05:11Every single one of them.

00:05:12Stabilized.

00:05:13Oh, sun's coming up.

00:05:15We must have operated all night.

00:05:16You're a machine.

00:05:17Oh, sun's coming up.

00:05:18We must have operated all night.

00:05:19You're a machine.

00:05:20Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.

00:05:21Alright, it's time for some much-needed Shed-Eye.

00:05:22We're all stable.

00:05:23We're all stable.

00:05:24Every single one of them.

00:05:25Stabilized.

00:05:26Oh, sun's coming up.

00:05:28We must have operated all night.

00:05:29You're a machine.

00:05:30Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.

00:05:31Alright.

00:05:32It's time for some much-needed Shed-Eye.

00:05:33Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.

00:05:34Alright.

00:05:35It's time for some much-needed Shed-Eye.

00:05:36Hey, you.

00:05:37Hey, yourself.

00:05:38It's time for some much-needed Shed-Eye.

00:05:39Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.

00:05:40Alright.

00:05:41It's time for some much-needed Shed-Eye.

00:05:44Hey, you.

00:05:49Hey, yourself.

00:05:56A little greeting night.

00:05:59A little greeting night.

00:06:00A little greeting night.

00:06:05Reading when I saved every single patient in that pileup.

00:06:10All you did was extraordinary.

00:06:12How do you always know exactly what I needed?

00:06:16Because I know you better than anyone.

00:06:25Goldberry, your favorite?

00:06:28You remembered.

00:06:30Who said it?

00:06:31You know, I've been thinking lately about us.

00:06:34I know it's only been a month, but it just feels different.

00:06:49It's the third time this week.

00:06:51Hospital food's better than someone else's.

00:06:53Hmm.

00:06:55So who's the smart-skinned guy?

00:06:57His surgical skills are unreal.

00:06:58Sure, I thought he was just another new hire.

00:07:00I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.

00:07:04With a talent like this, do you think that he'd be running his own department right now?

00:07:15What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?

00:07:17Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.

00:07:21Who is this guy?

00:07:26Preston Vale, Preston Vale's son, Harvard MBA.

00:07:29He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife,

00:07:33who just recovered from an experimental pancreatic duodenectomy.

00:07:37I'm sorry, am I looking at two board-certified surgeons or med school dropouts?

00:07:42Hard to tell based on your behavior.

00:07:46Sir, about last-

00:07:47Save it!

00:07:49Harker.

00:07:51You couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.

00:07:54You're fired.

00:07:56Clear out your office.

00:07:57New management means new standards.

00:08:00It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.

00:08:02Attention in everybody's attention now.

00:08:08If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs, every surgery must be perfect.

00:08:15No complications, no deaths.

00:08:17This second-rate medicine stops right now.

00:08:22Who does he think he is, Dr. House?

00:08:24What is this?

00:08:27Excellence in emergency medicine?

00:08:30Save your ego stroking for your own time.

00:08:34This is a hospital.

00:08:37We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.

00:08:41That was from my residency direction.

00:08:43Oh, cry me a river.

00:08:45Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients and a little less time collecting gold stars,

00:08:49you'd be a real doctor.

00:08:51You're fired.

00:08:52Excuse me?

00:08:53Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop,

00:08:56just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.

00:08:58Yes, sir.

00:09:00Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?

00:09:03That was good.

00:09:05Let's go.

00:09:10Well, well, well.

00:09:11What do we have here?

00:09:14Sleeping after a shift?

00:09:17Rise and shine, superstar.

00:09:23Did I order a wake-up call?

00:09:25No, you didn't.

00:09:26But here's one anyway.

00:09:28You are fired.

00:09:32Are you serious?

00:09:33You're firing me?

00:09:35Do you need me to draw you a diagram, doctor?

00:09:38Well, no.

00:09:39But there must be some sort of mistake.

00:09:41Fiona, what's his position here?

00:09:44He's a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.

00:09:49What's he make?

00:09:51$700,000.

00:09:52That's standard for a trauma surgeon.

00:09:55$700?

00:09:56Are you insane?

00:09:57You're giving resident money to a first-year who sleeps on the job?

00:10:01This hospital is being scammed.

00:10:03I just worked all night.

00:10:05Okay, I'm just taking a nap.

00:10:06Also, now you're expecting overtime pay.

00:10:09Seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.

00:10:13What were you thinking hiring this fraud?

00:10:16Either you're as dumb as these hack surgeons,

00:10:18or this is some sort of insurance scam.

00:10:21Adrian and I might be sleeping together,

00:10:23but I can't let him drag me down.

00:10:25My career comes first.

00:10:27Boy, bye.

00:10:28There must be some clerical error.

00:10:32His credentials.

00:10:34Other residents make a fraction of that salary.

00:10:37Fiona.

00:10:39Dr. Marksman.

00:10:42You are F-I-R-E-D fired.

00:10:47Clear out your office.

00:10:49Clear out your locker.

00:10:50Get the hell out of my hospital.

00:10:53This is a mistake, okay?

00:10:54You need to check the surgical lock.

00:10:56You don't get wear back.

00:10:57Mark.

00:10:58I see.

00:11:07Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.

00:11:09You don't understand.

00:11:11He's the one who...

00:11:12Didn't I fire you two already?

00:11:14Beat it.

00:11:15Vale is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?

00:11:17Don't make this worse for yourselves.

00:11:19Okay.

00:11:28I understand.

00:11:38Hospital politics.

00:11:41Look, I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.

00:11:45Meet me in the lobby after your shift.

00:11:48I'll be waiting.

00:11:48You care to explain that little exchange?

00:11:59The board won't like this.

00:12:06Four attendings dismissed in one day.

00:12:08Patient care will suffer.

00:12:10Fear is a weapon, Fiona.

00:12:11I intend to wield it.

00:12:13Or perhaps you're more concerned with one surgeon in particular?

00:12:18Your little scam artist situation ship?

00:12:21No, Preston.

00:12:22He means nothing to me.

00:12:24Really.

00:12:25I have no personal stake in your staffing decision.

00:12:27Let's be clear about your future here.

00:12:29Do you want to be with the nobody, collecting unemployment checks, or the man who signs everyone's paychecks, including yours?

00:12:40The man who signs everyone's paychecks.

00:12:44Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded who's in charge around here.

00:12:57Hey, Dad.

00:12:58What's wrong?

00:12:59Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.

00:13:01She'll be okay, but I need you to take full control of the hospital.

00:13:06And, Preston, there's something critical you need to know.

00:13:09Of course.

00:13:09What is it?

00:13:10That new surgeon, Dr. Marksman?

00:13:13Whatever happens, make sure you take care of him.

00:13:16Dr. Marksman?

00:13:17Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired.

00:13:20Get out of my hospital.

00:13:22Christ.

00:13:23The resident I just fired?

00:13:26Preston?

00:13:27Are you there?

00:13:29Check the staff roster.

00:13:30Um, see if we have another marksman working for us here.

00:13:35I had to back up the brakes truck to get him here.

00:13:38He's a surgeon who saved your mother's life, and he's pioneering our experimental surgery program.

00:13:44The hospital, the hospital's reputation rests on his work.

00:13:48Ah, yes, I see now.

00:13:55There's another surgeon attending with that name.

00:13:58Dr. Marksman, pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.

00:14:02Two-time Florence Nightingale, medal recipient for medical excellence, three-time Apex award winner for clinical research.

00:14:09Is this who you mean, Dad?

00:14:10That's our man.

00:14:11There's another surgeon with the same last name who's been a disaster for us.

00:14:16Negligent, lazy, you name it.

00:14:18Do me a favor.

00:14:19Fire him.

00:14:20Already done, Dad.

00:14:21I fired his slacker ass this morning.

00:14:25Thank God.

00:14:26Almost thought I fired our star surgeon.

00:14:28Good work, son.

00:14:30I'll visit when your mother's stronger.

00:14:34Just, uh, just take care of Mom, all right?

00:14:36I got everything else under control.

00:14:37See?

00:14:45Told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless.

00:14:49Now, about your career trajectory.

00:14:53Mr. Bale, sir.

00:14:54Can't you see I'm busy?

00:14:56Multiple traumas incoming.

00:14:57The six-car pileup.

00:14:58You fired half our surgery team.

00:15:00What's your point?

00:15:01ER is crashing.

00:15:02We've no one left who can handle it.

00:15:04Okay.

00:15:07Give me the situation now.

00:15:13Six critical traumas, three more incoming.

00:15:16Multiple crush injuries, arterial bleeds, sir.

00:15:19We're losing patients.

00:15:21What are our options?

00:15:22There might be one solution.

00:15:24Well, spit it out.

00:15:25Dr. Marksman.

00:15:27He handled four critical traumas alone last night.

00:15:29If we can get him back here.

00:15:31Marksman.

00:15:32Right.

00:15:32That's the man we need.

00:15:33Fiona, call him.

00:15:34Which Dr. Marksman should I?

00:15:37The genius surgeon.

00:15:38The one I didn't fire.

00:15:39Keep up.

00:15:44What the hell?

00:15:46Where'd all this stuff go?

00:15:47Where'd all this stuff go?

00:15:47The idiot left us research notes.

00:16:06Mmm.

00:16:07Modified trauma protocol.

00:16:09Wait.

00:16:11These are his revolutionary procedures.

00:16:13Oh, this is brilliant work.

00:16:21Hello?

00:16:22Dr. Marksman?

00:16:23Multiple critical traumas in the ER.

00:16:26Preston Vale says if you can handle this crisis, there's a monster promotion waiting.

00:16:30I'm on my way.

00:16:31With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.

00:16:39They'll make me department head.

00:16:41And I can finally make seven figures.

00:16:49Well?

00:16:50Dr. Marksman's on his way.

00:16:52Thank God.

00:16:53Now, about your loyalty.

00:17:06Adrian meant nothing.

00:17:08I was using him to advance my career.

00:17:11You're my future.

00:17:12That's my girl.

00:17:13Beyond a shift in an hour ago, the boss's son is up to something.

00:17:27To hell with this.

00:17:28I'm going out.

00:17:43You piece of shit.

00:17:48Get your hand off my girl.

00:17:52Oh, just knock it off, Adrian.

00:17:54You mean to tell me that the brilliant surgeon can't see what's been happening under his own nose?

00:17:59You mean to tell me that you've been messing around with this incompetent nepo baby?

00:18:03I can choose who I want.

00:18:04And I don't want to disgrace surgeon with no future.

00:18:07You pathetic loser.

00:18:08You pathetic loser.

00:18:08We're done, Adrian.

00:18:26Ancient history.

00:18:28Are you serious?

00:18:30Just like that.

00:18:32Sorry that this bum wrinkled your jacket, sir.

00:18:35Why are you doing this, Fiona?

00:18:39Am I just a stepping stone to you?

00:18:41I need someone with a future.

00:18:43Not someone who sleeps while patients are dying.

00:18:50Keep it for when you get lonely and horny.

00:18:53It's the closest you'll ever come to the real thing again.

00:18:57Oh.

00:19:00Look at us, Adrian.

00:19:01I'm the future of Vail Hospital.

00:19:03And you?

00:19:07Just a slacker.

00:19:09And scrubs.

00:19:10You're washed up, marksman.

00:19:12Perhaps try nursing.

00:19:14I hear they're always hiring.

00:19:17Fiona, I met you here and it made me want to stay.

00:19:20I thought we could build a family together.

00:19:23Get over yourself.

00:19:25You think I'm going to stay with someone who lied about their credentials?

00:19:28President Vail would never have hired someone who sleeps during shifts.

00:19:36We're done.

00:19:37I'm not done.

00:19:39But when I am, there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.

00:19:43You can count on that.

00:19:49No, no, no.

00:19:49Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.

00:19:51Your troubles are just getting started.

00:19:57Who authorizes you to be here?

00:19:59Mr. Vail, I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision, we've stabilized all the patients from the multi-car accident.

00:20:06And the situation is completely under control.

00:20:09You're Dr. Marksman.

00:20:11Ah, yes.

00:20:11The very same.

00:20:13My father mentioned your exceptional credentials.

00:20:16Harvard Medical, was it?

00:20:17The very same.

00:20:47Dr. Hart.

00:20:51Incredible news.

00:20:52Dr. Adrian Marksman, that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking, he's just been terminated from Vail Hospital.

00:21:00When?

00:21:01Less than an hour ago.

00:21:02Dismissed by President Vail's son.

00:21:06Huh.

00:21:07Amazing.

00:21:08I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face when he discovers that his price surgeon was fired by his submental son.

00:21:16With, uh, respect, we're still establishing our reputation.

00:21:21Would someone of Marksman's caliber even consider joining us?

00:21:25I'll offer him whatever it takes.

00:21:27Full department autonomy.

00:21:30Research funding.

00:21:32State-of-the-art facilities.

00:21:34And, if necessary, my personal involvement.

00:21:39His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.

00:21:43Have my car brought round.

00:21:44And, I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.

00:21:48And, Adrian Marksman?

00:21:50He's leaving with me.

00:21:57Alphysits?

00:21:58What kind of delusional accusation is that?

00:22:01Don't insult our intelligence.

00:22:03A patient coded while you were off taking a nap.

00:22:05The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental.

00:22:07Yet you stand there denying it.

00:22:09This is crazy.

00:22:10You've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon.

00:22:13And, when a complication occurs, which happened in this hospital under your incompetent leadership,

00:22:19you blame me.

00:22:22The collective medical knowledge in this room isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.

00:22:28If you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be, you would still have a job.

00:22:32I'm not going to stand here and debate medicine with you in front of Mr. Vail.

00:22:37Security, please detain him.

00:22:38What exactly are you accusing me of?

00:22:46Either confess to medical malfeasance, or they'll escort you to the police for criminal negligence.

00:22:54Adrian, I never realized you were capable of endangering patients.

00:22:58What other medical atrocities have you committed?

00:23:01You better confess now, or we'll do everything in our power to make sure you lose your medical license.

00:23:07Fine.

00:23:08Go ahead.

00:23:09Do your worst.

00:23:11Let's see if a single piece of evidence holds up in front of the medical board.

00:23:16You really underestimate my family's influence, don't you?

00:23:21Don't you realize that Mr. Vail here can end your entire career with one phone call?

00:23:26Sir, I strongly recommend that we make an example out of him.

00:23:29After all, he'll be a danger to his patients wherever he goes.

00:23:32Kristen, you can't let him walk away after this.

00:23:35Not after what he did to our patients.

00:23:38I'm contacting the medical board right now.

00:23:41As of this moment, Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted from Vail Hospital and every medical institute in the country.

00:23:48Plans in motion, Adrian.

00:23:50Do you know what that means?

00:23:52It means that you will never practice medicine in this country again.

00:23:58I have one question before I go.

00:24:01Does your father know you fired me?

00:24:04My father's the one who asked me to fire you, you dipshit.

00:24:09You thought you were some brilliant surgical god, didn't you?

00:24:13Security, remove this criminal from hospital property immediately.

00:24:17Immediately.

00:24:18Yes, doctor.

00:24:19Right away, sir.

00:24:19Sir.

00:24:22That's quite enough.

00:24:35Let him go.

00:24:37Dr. Marksman is about to accept the position as Chief of Surgical Innovation at Hart Medical Center.

00:24:47I know you.

00:24:48You're Vivian Hart, the surgical upstart from that medical clinic across town.

00:24:53That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you, Mr. Vail.

00:24:58Vivian?

00:24:58I haven't seen you since the John Hopkins Symposium, like four or five years ago.

00:25:02What are you doing here?

00:25:04Well, I'm here for the most innovative surgeon in the country, of course.

00:25:09Wait.

00:25:10Are you seriously suggesting this negligent doctor has value?

00:25:14He was sleeping during rounds.

00:25:16Is this how Vail Hospital discards its exceptional talent?

00:25:19Your father built this institution's reputation of medical excellence, not petty politics.

00:25:26Dr. Hart, I must inform you that Dr. Marksman represents a serious liability.

00:25:42He compromised patient safety and...

00:25:45I don't believe I requested your medical opinion, Dr....

00:25:48Marksman.

00:25:49David Marksman.

00:25:50I have neither time nor interest in your assessment.

00:25:55After he decided to go to sleep, we had a critical surgical complication.

00:26:00His negligence led to the problem.

00:26:03His actions not only endangered patients, it compromised my hospital's reputation.

00:26:08Are you really willing to defend someone who violates the Hippocratic Oath?

00:26:13Did you actually consult with your father before dismissing Dr. Marksman?

00:26:18Of course I consulted my father.

00:26:20He's the one who specifically mentioned his dangerous surgical shortcuts and inflated reputation.

00:26:27Dangerous shortcuts?

00:26:29Is that what President Vail really said?

00:26:32His exact words were, remove him at first opportunity.

00:26:36President Vail was the one that recruited me.

00:26:37This makes absolutely no sense.

00:26:39Please, Adrian.

00:26:40The president wouldn't personally recruit a mid-level surgeon like you.

00:26:45Those gala invitations were professional courtesy, not genuine respect.

00:26:50Well, if that's the way things work at Vail, I have nothing more to contribute.

00:26:54To any of you.

00:26:55Dr. Marksman, would you consider joining Hart Medical Center as our chief of surgery?

00:27:02Well, I've...

00:27:03Full department autonomy.

00:27:05Protected research time.

00:27:06A surgical fellowship in your name.

00:27:09And a seven-figure salary package.

00:27:37And Cash.

00:27:44Dr. Marksman, I want you to revolutionize our surgery program.

00:27:49Hopefully this shows you.

00:27:51I mean what I say.

00:27:52Chief of surgery?

00:28:02You're offering all this to a surgeon who can't even keep his eyes open on the job?

00:28:07Dr. Hart, have you completely lost your medical judgment or are you on drugs?

00:28:12This is absurd.

00:28:14He was a mediocre surgeon here at Vail.

00:28:16And now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department?

00:28:20The medical board should review your hiring practices.

00:28:27Vivian, I appreciate your confidence.

00:28:31This isn't about money.

00:28:33Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you.

00:28:39She's offering herself up to him.

00:28:40She can't do that.

00:28:42Are you a doctor or a call girl?

00:28:45At Hart Medical Center, you will be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves.

00:28:50Including a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value.

00:28:55And I do mean anything, Dr. Marksman.

00:29:00Dr. Hart.

00:29:01For the sake of your own reputation, you need to know that this hack you're so eagerly pursuing has a documented history of negligence.

00:29:09My father confirmed it himself.

00:29:12Is that precisely what Nelson Vail told you?

00:29:15His exact words.

00:29:18Negligence, Serge?

00:29:19What are those?

00:29:23Personal gifts from your father?

00:29:27My fellowship offer?

00:29:29My personal research lab, my surgical team, I'm leaving it all behind.

00:29:37You can tell President Vail that as of this moment, Dr. Marksman has permanently withdrawn from Vail Hospital and all of its affiliated institutions.

00:29:46You know what?

00:29:47Spare us the theatrics, Adrian.

00:29:49You never deserved those privileges in the first place.

00:29:52The medical board is going to see that justice is done.

00:29:56Oh, your stupidity, it's just astonishing.

00:30:01You treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels.

00:30:05This man is a life-saving artist.

00:30:08Dr. Hart, I understand there's some competition between your center and Vail Hospital.

00:30:17Yeah, look, I'll be real.

00:30:19We're struggling to get out from under their shadow.

00:30:21Look, I'd be happy to help you out with that.

00:30:24Take me on, and I'll transform Hart into the number one surgical institution in the country.

00:30:30Look at yourself, Adrian.

00:30:32Offering your skills to a struggling clinic.

00:30:35How pathetically desperate.

00:30:36Oh, a backstabbing bottom feeder like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his caliber.

00:30:44How dare you talk to me like that!

00:30:47Your malpractice has caused catastrophic damage to my hospital's reputation.

00:30:53As the responsible party, I demand that you issue a formal apology to one of the major medical journals.

00:30:59And with an explanation to every affected Vail Hospital patient.

00:31:03Refuse me, and I will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently.

00:31:10That accusation isn't just basis.

00:31:12It's absurd.

00:31:14What exactly do you think you're going to do about it?

00:31:16You've got no choice but to sign this confession.

00:31:19Oh, stop threatening my chief surgeon.

00:31:21If you insist on pursuing this vendetta, have your attorney send a formal complaint to Hart Medical Center.

00:31:27We'll consider it nothing less than a declaration of total war.

00:31:32If it's war you want, I will obliterate your dime store clinic with everything that I've got.

00:31:40Let's go.

00:31:41One more second and this cesspool's going to make me physically ill.

00:31:44Mr. Vail, don't you waste another precious moment on those second-rate practitioners.

00:31:59David, you've proven your loyalty.

00:32:02The chief of surgery position is yours, effective immediately.

00:32:05This is extraordinary.

00:32:10I am honored beyond words.

00:32:15Don't forget about me, Preston.

00:32:17Don't worry, babe.

00:32:19You will be thoroughly compensated for your loyalty.

00:32:24How exciting.

00:32:26Mr. Vail, I swear on my medical oath that I will not disappoint you.

00:32:31Mr. Vail, a commuter train derailed.

00:32:34Six critical patients incoming.

00:32:36Dr. Marksman, OR1 now.

00:32:38Now's your time to shine, Dr. Marksman.

00:32:40Shit.

00:32:41I'm screwed.

00:32:41Adrian's surgical journal with all his proprietary techniques is still in my office.

00:32:46If Preston finds out, I stole it and then couldn't even use it properly.

00:32:50I implemented a groundbreaking surgical protocol that I invented myself.

00:32:56These techniques are revolutionary.

00:32:58I'll walk you through it in detail after the emergency.

00:33:01It's impressive, Dr. Marksman.

00:33:03You've obviously got your own methodology.

00:33:06No need to bore me with the specifics.

00:33:08I trust your brilliance.

00:33:09Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.

00:33:11With you leading my surgical team, I can focus on what really matters.

00:33:15Hospital expansion.

00:33:18Again, sir, I'm deeply honored.

00:33:20Behold, Vail Hospital's new chief of surgery.

00:33:30Let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now.

00:33:37Glad you're feeling better, honey.

00:33:39Yeah.

00:33:40Oh, sorry.

00:33:42Who's this?

00:33:46Nelson Vail speaking.

00:33:47President Vail.

00:33:49Dr. Vivian Hart here.

00:33:50I am calling to let you know that as of this morning,

00:33:54Hart Medical Center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena.

00:33:58Revolutionary surgical procedures are Vail Hospital's domain.

00:34:03Are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight?

00:34:06This is merely a professional courtesy call, not an invitation for debate.

00:34:10Now, just...

00:34:11What is that conniving bitch plotting?

00:34:19She knows Adrian is our surgical secret weapon.

00:34:23Why would she deliberately provoke a medical war she has absolutely no chance of winning?

00:34:28Dad, we've got multiple traumas coming in.

00:34:40Just tell me you didn't fire Dr. Marksman.

00:34:43Dad, relax.

00:34:45I fired the other one, that incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned.

00:34:49Then explain to me why Hart Medical Center believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy.

00:34:56Because I masterfully led Vivian Hart into a false sense of reality.

00:35:01It's not a way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures.

00:35:06I convinced Vivian that she's acquired surgical brilliance.

00:35:10But in reality, she's hired our disgraced, discarded loser.

00:35:13So you deliberately manipulated Vivian?

00:35:17She thinks she's hired the genius behind Vail Hospital's groundbreaking procedures.

00:35:22That's why she had the audacity to declare war on you.

00:35:24Impressive, son.

00:35:26You're finally showing some of the leadership qualities.

00:35:29I've been waiting to see out of you.

00:35:31I think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division.

00:35:37Dad, this is everything I've worked for. Thank you.

00:35:41We'll get to work immediately.

00:35:42We're going to expose Hart Medical Center for the low-grade institution it truly is.

00:35:50Their humiliation will be quick and absolute.

00:35:54I won't let you down.

00:35:57Darling, surgical innovation is the future of Vail.

00:36:01Preston only got his MBA last year.

00:36:03Do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program?

00:36:07I would never take a risk like this if Preston was our only asset.

00:36:13Remember, we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon.

00:36:17You mean the surgeon that saved my life, Dr. Adrian Marksman?

00:36:22Exactly.

00:36:23And all I need to do is stay hands-off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents.

00:36:33As long as Adrian is with Vail Hospital, Hart Medical Center has no chance of competing.

00:36:39Not only that, Vivian fell for Preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster, Dr. David Marksman.

00:36:49All we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble.

00:36:56So, now that you've seen the surgical department, what do you think?

00:37:08It's not bad.

00:37:10It's a small team, but they're talented.

00:37:12What you've built here, it's impressive, Viv.

00:37:17It's good to see you again after all these years, Adrian.

00:37:21You too.

00:37:23We need to expand.

00:37:24And it's too small for what I'm planning.

00:37:28Also, I heard you weren't the only surgeon Preston Vail fired.

00:37:37We have all the angles figured out, don't you?

00:37:40And I always find the best one.

00:37:50I'm going to start recruiting.

00:37:53Good.

00:37:54The faster we rise, the more rewarding this partnership becomes.

00:38:12This better be good.

00:38:15Mr. Vail, you wanted to see me?

00:38:18My father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department.

00:38:27Given your new position as chief of surgery, I'm appointing you head of innovation.

00:38:32Mr. Vail, I, uh...

00:38:34Is there an issue with that?

00:38:36No, absolutely not.

00:38:38The budget for innovation is astronomical, and President Vail has already handed control to his son?

00:38:44If I oversee these procedures, I could divert significant resources to my personal research.

00:38:50Mr. Vail, you can trust me completely.

00:38:54I am precisely the right man for the job.

00:38:56Preston, we have a catastrophe on our hands.

00:39:01Two attending surgeons just submitted their resignation simultaneously.

00:39:04The department can't possibly maintain its caseload.

00:39:06What?

00:39:07They both resigned at once?

00:39:08What was their explanation?

00:39:09They refused to disclose their reasons.

00:39:11But there's talk they were recruited by a former Vail physician, along with the three other surgeons you fired before.

00:39:16Former physician Adrian Marksman, this has his saboteur signature all over it.

00:39:21President, what's our contingency plan?

00:39:23The surgical department is severely understaffed.

00:39:26If any more surgeons leave, patients will suffer.

00:39:28Okay, everybody needs to remain calm.

00:39:32You still have me.

00:39:34I can rebuild this department.

00:39:36Ah, yes.

00:39:38With your stellar reputation, we should be able to get the best of the best.

00:39:41Exactly.

00:39:42So we lost some second-rate talent.

00:39:44Let him go.

00:39:47I'll make some calls to Cedars-Sinai and UCLA.

00:39:52Good work, Marksman.

00:39:57This is working out perfectly.

00:39:59Now I can install my own allies in key positions.

00:40:02Soon, I'll control the entire hospital's medical direction.

00:40:14It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Hart.

00:40:34This is Dr. Parker here.

00:40:36He's a triple board certified surgeon.

00:40:38And soon, he'll be the head of trauma surgery.

00:40:41This is Dr. Rose, Chen, Rose, and Thomas.

00:40:45All consummate professionals.

00:40:47My most trusted colleagues back at Vail.

00:40:49With this surgical team, Hart Medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country.

00:40:59Actually, the whole world.

00:41:01We're eager to begin, Dr. Hart.

00:41:03Well, welcome to Hart Medical Center.

00:41:06I am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us, but I do need to be transparent.

00:41:14We have got considerable ground to cover before we can truly challenge Vail Hospital's dominance.

00:41:19Have no fear, Dr. Hart.

00:41:21With Adrian leading our team, we'll be three steps ahead of anything Vail attempts.

00:41:25Yes, but Vail has already implemented Adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols.

00:41:32Yeah, about that.

00:41:34It's a preliminary version.

00:41:35If they continue to develop this approach without modification...

00:41:38Then what?

00:41:39A lot of deaths.

00:41:40A lot of lawsuits.

00:41:42A lot of patients could be harmed.

00:41:44Or worse, these procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement.

00:41:49Those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training.

00:41:53Without that foundation...

00:41:56We're talking about serious complications.

00:41:59Preventable harm.

00:42:00Our first priority has to be patient safety.

00:42:03We need to perfect these procedures.

00:42:05And then we can find a way to prevent Vail from continuing with the flawed protocols.

00:42:10Exactly.

00:42:10It's not about competition or pride.

00:42:13It's about saving lives.

00:42:16We're using our experience with the trial procedures I did at Vail to develop next-generation surgical techniques

00:42:23eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies.

00:42:27Even if Vail Hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new,

00:42:33we'll maintain our significant advantage.

00:42:37And if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols, rest assured, their outcomes will deteriorate.

00:42:44I don't wish it upon their patients, that's for sure.

00:42:46Remember this moment.

00:42:48In this battle for medical supremacy, Hart Medical Center will emerge victorious.

00:43:00It's 3 a.m.

00:43:02Lost track of time again.

00:43:09Viv, you surprised me.

00:43:11Looks like you could use a nice rub.

00:43:16Do you mind?

00:43:18No.

00:43:20I mean, yeah.

00:43:22What do you give all your surgeons massages?

00:43:26Only the ones I really, really like.

00:43:33You really, really like me?

00:43:36Adrienne, I've really, really liked you since residency.

00:43:38Nothing's changed.

00:43:42You were our most brilliant resident in the program.

00:43:45I never imagined someone like you would like me.

00:43:47There was never anyone else that got my attention.

00:43:51Only you.

00:43:54But you were completely oblivious.

00:43:56And then you just vanished from the program.

00:44:00Well, I left to join the Experimental Surgical Fellowship in Switzerland.

00:44:04I know.

00:44:05Your talent was extraordinary even then.

00:44:10Back then, I made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday.

00:44:15You know, when I established Hart Medical Center, my first priority was recruiting you.

00:44:21But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Vale, had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives.

00:44:30I understand now.

00:44:31Yeah.

00:44:35So, should we pick up where we left off in residency?

00:44:44We're the boss.

00:44:46That's right.

00:44:48And as your boss, I say, come home with me.

00:44:52Tonight?

00:44:52You lost everything when Preston fired you.

00:44:56Hospital privileges.

00:44:58Research funding.

00:45:00Even your hospital-subsidized apartment.

00:45:05You have literally nowhere else to go tonight.

00:45:09Come with me.

00:45:12Where?

00:45:14My place.

00:45:15All right.

00:45:24I'll admit it.

00:45:26That was the best meal I've had in months.

00:45:28Careful, Dr. Marksman.

00:45:30I might start thinking you're easy to please.

00:45:33That just depends on the company.

00:45:35Well, starting tonight, this is your new home.

00:45:40Until the program's fully established, it just makes sense.

00:45:44Are you sure about that?

00:45:45We already work late hours.

00:45:48Living together could get complicated.

00:45:52Well, I like complicated.

00:45:54Keeps things interesting.

00:45:57And where exactly will I be sleeping?

00:46:00Well, my master suite has a California cane.

00:46:09Plenty of room.

00:46:13If things ever need to get more collaborative.

00:46:19Really?

00:46:21Relax.

00:46:22I'm only teasing.

00:46:24Tonight, at least.

00:46:27Come on.

00:46:30I'll show you your room.

00:46:32Unless you'd rather have a nightcap than mine.

00:46:37Things could get dangerous.

00:46:45Is this pathetic attempt really the best that you can do?

00:46:52You are completely worthless as surgeons.

00:46:59Dr. Marksman, the experimental procedures we're trying to replicate here are extraordinarily intricate.

00:47:05We need at least six months to properly master.

00:47:09Six months?

00:47:10You have 72 hours.

00:47:12And I expect hourly updates on my desk.

00:47:14Sir, rushing these delicate procedures dramatically increases the possibility of potentially fatal complications.

00:47:21Three days.

00:47:22Then you don't get one hour more.

00:47:25Go.

00:47:26Go.

00:47:26Report, Dr. Marksman.

00:47:31What's our status?

00:47:33Excellent progress, Mr. Vale.

00:47:35We will be advancing to phase two implementation within three days.

00:47:39That's exactly what I wanted to hear.

00:47:41I knew my judgment in appointing you was flawless.

00:47:49Preston, I need an update on the experimental surgery program.

00:47:53Everything's proceeding perfectly, Father.

00:47:55Outstanding.

00:47:56When this is done, I'll throw you a huge party to celebrate the launch.

00:48:00Your father must be so proud of you.

00:48:03Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.

00:48:05I'll make sure my father understands your invaluable contribution.

00:48:09This is my shot.

00:48:10Why settle for chief of surgery?

00:48:12With the right maneuvering, I could become the next chief medical officer of Vale Hospital.

00:48:17Mr. Vale, my purpose is to execute the visionary medical strategies of brilliant administrators such as yourself.

00:48:25I believe that in the position of chief medical officer, I could implement your ideas more effectively throughout the entire hospital.

00:48:33If these procedures prove successful, I will personally discuss your advancement with the board.

00:48:37Truly, that's...

00:48:39I am profoundly grateful, sir.

00:48:44You're finally awake.

00:49:03You can keep appreciating the view while you meet.

00:49:10All right.

00:49:12Ooh, breakfast.

00:49:14Looks good.

00:49:18When you're finished eating, we'll head directly to the surgical wing.

00:49:22Sound good?

00:49:22Yes.

00:49:24Absolutely.

00:49:25Good.

00:49:27Get it up and running, and there may be a special bonus waiting for you.

00:49:32Yeah.

00:49:35Extra special.

00:49:36Yeah.

00:49:36Okay, team.

00:49:46We're approaching a critical phase of our program development.

00:49:48We have groundbreaking procedures that we need to perfect in very little time.

00:49:53So let's get to it and start revolutionizing medicine.

00:49:57I have excellent news for all of you.

00:49:59I've just finalized arrangements with the board, and upon successful implementation of our surgical

00:50:05innovations, each of you will receive a fully funded medical mission trip anywhere in the

00:50:10world that you choose to share your expertise.

00:50:13And when the time comes that our procedures receive national certification, every surgeon

00:50:20on this team will be gifted a percentage of the royalties from any techniques we patent.

00:50:27At Hart Medical Center, our surgeons are the lifeblood of our institution, and you will be compensated accordingly.

00:50:38Dr. Hart, we are fully committed to making this surgical program a success.

00:50:42Absolutely.

00:50:43You'll be seeing progress ASAP.

00:50:45Vail Hospital won't know what hit him.

00:50:47With Adrian leading us, victory is guaranteed.

00:50:49Hard is best!

00:50:50Hard is best!

00:50:51Hard is best!

00:50:52Hard is best!

00:50:53Hard is best!

00:50:54Hard is best!

00:50:55Good.

00:50:56How do you owe me a concern?

00:50:58We're running wild hearts on fire

00:51:02Whoa

00:51:04We're chasing dreams and climbing higher

00:51:08Whoa

00:51:10The channel was bad

00:51:12We need to stay

00:51:13The channel was bad

00:51:15It's been moving on the way

00:51:27You always this disciplined?

00:51:30Or are you just trying to impress me?

00:51:33If I was trying to impress you, you even know.

00:51:36Midnight meetings.

00:51:39Long hours.

00:51:41This work ethic of yours.

00:51:44It's a little dangerous.

00:51:48That's what Val used to say about me.

00:51:52Then they fired me.

00:51:53Then they were fools.

00:51:59You've earned more than just respect here, Adrian.

00:52:03You know that, right?

00:52:09You trying to motivate me again?

00:52:11I don't try.

00:52:15I do.

00:52:19Well, don't work too late.

00:52:23You're no good to me, Burntout.

00:52:35The incompetence is staggering.

00:52:40Yeah, you two are in way over your heads.

00:52:44Do you really think that this is acceptable?

00:52:47I give you one simple task and you screw it up.

00:52:50How the hell did either of you even finish residency?

00:52:54Vail General Hospital is the gold standard.

00:52:58And you two are just standing around like clueless little interns.

00:53:00If these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow, you're both gone.

00:53:05Is that clear?

00:53:07Yes, sir.

00:53:08This is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team?

00:53:13Go.

00:53:14Oh, Mr. Vail.

00:53:21What a, what a, what a surprise.

00:53:23Cut the bullshit, Marksman.

00:53:26We're on schedule or not?

00:53:27Of course.

00:53:29We're, we're just refining the final stages.

00:53:33Yeah, everything is under control.

00:53:35Good.

00:53:36There's a problem.

00:53:37I expect to hear it from you.

00:53:38No cover-ups.

00:53:39Of course, sir.

00:53:43Mr. Vail.

00:53:44Not now.

00:53:45Go get me the latest performance reports.

00:53:50It, uh, looks like Preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here.

00:53:57Don't worry.

00:53:58When Preston makes me chief medical officer, I'm gonna need someone flexible in my corner.

00:54:05I respect the winning team, Dr. Marksman.

00:54:09Today, Vail Hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next-generation surgical program.

00:54:20This cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry,

00:54:26especially as Heart Medical's competing program was released on the same day.

00:54:31The question now is, who will define the future of surgery?

00:54:35Relax, Mr. Vail.

00:54:37Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance.

00:54:39I hope you're right.

00:54:43For your sake.

00:54:46Didn't you say that, uh, if the rollout went well that you'd make me chief medical officer?

00:54:52It's not a success.

00:54:54Yet.

00:54:57Enjoy tonight's launch party.

00:54:59Because if our results don't outshine Heart Medical,

00:55:02it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long time.

00:55:04Okay.

00:55:09Dr. Heart, we, uh, have a problem.

00:55:20Vail Hospital's new surgical program launches today.

00:55:23That soon?

00:55:24They're hosting a big celebration party tonight.

00:55:27It's a good thing we're ahead of-

00:55:31You're saying we're ready?

00:55:35Why would I lie?

00:55:36We've been tracking Vail's every move.

00:55:39Let him celebrate.

00:55:40It's just gonna backfire.

00:55:41How exactly does that work in our favor?

00:55:45Viv, do you remember what I told you when you first brought me here?

00:55:50Preston Vail's rushing this.

00:55:52He's desperate to beat us to the market.

00:55:54And?

00:55:54Their model's flawed.

00:55:56If they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure and their approach,

00:56:01we won't have to lift a damn finger.

00:56:04And what about when it falls apart?

00:56:06Then Heart Medical takes over as the future of modern surgery.

00:56:10So you're saying that Vail Hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that you designed?

00:56:15It's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast.

00:56:18They're using an early draft full of mistakes that I won't make again.

00:56:22They don't even realize the cracks in their foundation.

00:56:26That actually makes perfect sense.

00:56:30Which means we've already won.

00:56:33Well, this is a big day for us.

00:56:35We should celebrate.

00:56:36What do you have in mind?

00:56:37Drinks?

00:56:38Not quite.

00:56:39You and I are crashing the Vail launch party tonight.

00:56:43What?

00:56:44Why?

00:56:45Let me worry about that.

00:56:47In the meantime, ensure a smooth rollout.

00:56:49Finish whatever procedures you need to.

00:56:52Then meet me in the lobby at 8 p.m. sharp.

00:57:09Preston, we've been through so much together.

00:57:12I know where I'm headed in life and I know who I want by my side.

00:57:15Tonight, at this launch party, celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program,

00:57:23just like the perfect moment to ask,

00:57:26will you marry me?

00:57:31We should be fun.

00:57:36Absolutely.

00:57:37You really know how to take care of your staff, Mr. Vail?

00:57:40Oh, stop it.

00:57:42Too bad you're taken.

00:57:43Yeah, yeah, what a shame.

00:57:45Where the fuck is Fiona?

00:57:47Told her meet me out here so we can go to this party together.

00:57:50Forget about her.

00:57:51She's just social climbing trash anyways.

00:57:53We'll show you a better time.

00:57:55Hmm.

00:57:58Now that's an offer I can't refuse.

00:58:00Let's go.

00:58:00Fiona who?

00:58:01Oh, you ladies are crazy.

00:58:07Let me get to it.

00:58:07The number you have dialed is unavailable.

00:58:31Please try again later.

00:58:32It's 20 in one day.

00:58:59All clean.

00:59:00All stable.

00:59:00The experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.

00:59:04You did it.

00:59:06No.

00:59:07We did it.

00:59:10Dr. Marksman, you have to get to Vail's launch party pronto.

00:59:14You're already late.

00:59:15I need to change that.

00:59:16You don't have time.

00:59:17Where's Vivian?

00:59:19Taking care of something.

00:59:21She said it's really important that you be there,

00:59:23and she'll meet you as soon as she can.

00:59:25Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vail Hospital's Revolutionary Surgical Program.

00:59:31What the fuck?

00:59:47You're my date, and you're wasted.

00:59:49I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.

00:59:52Yeah, God knows why I chose you, but I did.

00:59:55So if you want to keep your job and your status sober up, for God's sakes.

00:59:59Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?

01:00:20It's giving orderly sheep.

01:00:26Maybe he's here to bust tables.

01:00:30What are you doing at our launch party?

01:00:31You weren't invited.

01:00:32You're so sure about that?

01:00:34I mean, look at you.

01:00:35This is a black tie.

01:00:36I mean, not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is.

01:00:39Oh, look who crawled in from the gutter.

01:00:44The failed surgeon.

01:00:46The fraud.

01:00:47The nobody.

01:00:49Show up to my party in dirty scrubs, Marksman?

01:00:52Thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the lowlives.

01:00:56Guess I need to fire them, too.

01:00:57Pardon me, I just came straight from surgery.

01:01:00Because some of us here are real surgeons.

01:01:02What are you trying to say?

01:01:04I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody,

01:01:09isn't me.

01:01:12I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.

01:01:16I got some nerve talking to my man Marksman like that.

01:01:20A genius like him leading our surgical team?

01:01:23You won't be able to get anywhere near our next party.

01:01:25Yeah, because it'll happen in prison.

01:01:27When you're all arrested for medical malpractice,

01:01:31criminal negligence, and identity theft.

01:01:35What are you talking about?

01:01:37Identity theft?

01:01:39Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?

01:01:41Yours?

01:01:42Let me give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.

01:01:45If you don't got it, at least act like you do.

01:01:49Speaking from experience.

01:01:51Look around you.

01:01:53This is the elite among the elite.

01:01:56The best of the best in the medical field.

01:01:58Just because you waltz in here and you're dirty, cheap scrubs,

01:02:01doesn't make you one of us.

01:02:03Good.

01:02:03I'm glad.

01:02:05Because you're all beneath me.

01:02:07Isn't that right, Dr. Marksman?

01:02:10That's enough.

01:02:11Guards!

01:02:12This former employee is threatening us.

01:02:15Kick him out!

01:02:17Touch me and you'll regret it.

01:02:20I'm here tonight with a very important guest.

01:02:24What are you dumbasses doing?

01:02:26Grab him!

01:02:33What the hell is this?

01:02:44Dad.

01:02:46Relax.

01:02:46I, uh...

01:02:47Relax?

01:02:49This twat came in uninvited.

01:02:51I was just kicking him out.

01:02:52Guards!

01:02:52Remove him immediately.

01:02:53President Vail, it truly is an honor to finally meet you.

01:02:56You get out of my way!

01:02:58Dad, what are you doing?

01:02:59This is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...

01:03:04You are such a fool!

01:03:07Dad!

01:03:08What are you doing?

01:03:10Open your eyes, Preston.

01:03:12This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...

01:03:16You are...

01:03:18Disgraced!

01:03:20Dad!

01:03:21My hospital meant something and...

01:03:24You turned it into a...

01:03:26Into a...

01:03:27Dad!

01:03:29Dad!

01:03:34Dad!

01:03:36President Vail, fuck away from my dad!

01:03:40Are you out of your mind?

01:03:41He is the best surgeon in this room.

01:03:43Oh yeah, like you give a shit about saving my dad.

01:03:45I'll die before I trust you two.

01:03:47Somebody get me a real doctor!

01:03:49David!

01:03:50David!

01:03:51Do something!

01:03:51Code!

01:03:56Can't think of what to do next?

01:03:59Blanking?

01:03:59Can't think of a diagnosis?

01:04:01Shut up!

01:04:02Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?

01:04:05This is ridiculous!

01:04:06I thought this David guy was a genius!

01:04:09Are you just standing there?

01:04:10Do something!

01:04:11What's the matter, David?

01:04:14If you need help, just ask.

01:04:17All you have to do is admit what you did.

01:04:19Right here.

01:04:20Right now.

01:04:21I can't blow my cover, but...

01:04:24What if I kill him?

01:04:25I don't know anything about surgeries.

01:04:28I don't even know what's wrong with them.

01:04:30I did medical school on Zoom.

01:04:33David, this is a matter of life and death.

01:04:37Let it go!

01:04:38I can't.

01:04:40I...

01:04:41I can't.

01:04:44I can't do this.

01:04:47Okay, I can't.

01:04:48I can't do this.

01:04:50I can't do this without my notebook.

01:04:54That's my surgical notebook.

01:04:58He stole it from me.

01:05:07Okay, okay.

01:05:09I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.

01:05:14Okay.

01:05:16I gotta, I gotta...

01:05:18Here, take it, take it, take it.

01:05:20Okay.

01:05:21All right, hold his head.

01:05:22Good.

01:05:22Tilt it back and apply pressure here.

01:05:27Okay.

01:05:38Okay.

01:05:41Three.

01:05:42Four.

01:05:44Four.

01:05:48Oh, thank God.

01:05:49How are you doing?

01:05:50Let it out.

01:05:51Oh.

01:05:52All right, thank God.

01:05:56Oh.

01:05:57That's my guy.

01:05:58Surgical genius.

01:06:00Oh.

01:06:01That's how Val makes history.

01:06:02Somebody get this man a medal.

01:06:04Or at least a new department.

01:06:06If you still want that chief medical officer position,

01:06:09say the word.

01:06:11Now,

01:06:11do I have to have somebody escort you out?

01:06:15That maneuver.

01:06:17That notebook.

01:06:18It's mine.

01:06:19Then tell them.

01:06:20Where is he going?

01:06:25Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program

01:06:28at another fake hospital.

01:06:30Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?

01:06:33Say, hey, why don't you come back

01:06:34when you've actually saved a life?

01:06:35That procedure David used,

01:06:42I invented it.

01:06:44What kind of crack are you smoking?

01:06:46He's delusional.

01:06:48Somebody seriously check this guy's medical license.

01:06:51The notebook he used to save your father.

01:06:54That's mine.

01:06:55My handwriting.

01:06:57My theories.

01:06:58I'm just pissed because he did what you couldn't.

01:07:02I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories

01:07:05as innovation.

01:07:06And when it fails,

01:07:08and it will,

01:07:11you're not the ones that'll pay for it.

01:07:14The patients will.

01:07:15You can't prove that.

01:07:16Not yet.

01:07:18But you can't fake medicine.

01:07:21Medicine and science always tell the truth.

01:07:25Our three's vitals has just dropped.

01:07:29We've got uncontrolled bleeding.

01:07:31Second patient today.

01:07:32Same issue.

01:07:33Vessel ligation failed mid-operation.

01:07:35These techniques aren't viable.

01:07:37The veil method doesn't hold under stress.

01:07:40I mean, come on.

01:07:41Tonight proves it.

01:07:43We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country.

01:07:54I'll be right back.

01:07:55Just coordinating with the team.

01:07:59Talk to me.

01:08:01The vascular fundoclap maneuver failed again.

01:08:03This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.

01:08:07Use the compression step.

01:08:10That only works in controlled scenarios.

01:08:12We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.

01:08:15Look, just follow the notes.

01:08:17I designed those techniques for one-on-one guidance.

01:08:24Not mass implementation.

01:08:26Without calibration.

01:08:28It's unstable.

01:08:29It's dangerous.

01:08:30They tried to commercialize your success without you.

01:08:33Now people are paying for it.

01:08:36All good?

01:08:38Of course.

01:08:39Just routine coordination.

01:08:40Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.

01:08:45Your surgical program is failing.

01:08:47And patients are suffering.

01:08:49You've been out of the field for months.

01:08:50You wouldn't know?

01:08:51Yeah, I would know.

01:08:53Because the procedures that you're butchering, I invented.

01:08:56And I'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing.

01:09:01Oh, shit.

01:09:07Oh, yes, this is Dr. Marksman.

01:09:10Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.

01:09:14Okay, listen very carefully.

01:09:16Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.

01:09:25No, you need to perform a Marksman-modified Pringle maneuver with selective hepatic arterial ligation,

01:09:31followed by a rapid-sequence vascular anatomosis using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures.

01:09:39Yes.

01:09:41Yes.

01:09:42How do we even know he made a phone call?

01:09:47His whole thing is performance, a charade.

01:09:50You stole his methods.

01:09:52This entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork.

01:09:57Uh, that's a lie.

01:09:58Then prove me wrong.

01:10:00Show them all a technique that I didn't create.

01:10:05Why would we believe anything he says?

01:10:08He was fired.

01:10:08He was humiliated.

01:10:10You're right, I was fired.

01:10:11And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary.

01:10:17You know what?

01:10:18This is pathetic.

01:10:19He's just jealous.

01:10:20He missed his shot.

01:10:22Is that what you told yourself?

01:10:23When you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal?

01:10:27Even if that were true, this isn't the time or the place.

01:10:31I think it's exactly the time and place.

01:10:34Yes.

01:10:41I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator.

01:10:49And thanks to Adrian's guidance, our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients.

01:10:55Adrian just cleaned up your mess.

01:10:58You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready, and you fired him.

01:11:04The one person who could make them safe.

01:11:08Dad, you don't see the full picture here.

01:11:11Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.

01:11:14This hospital was built on trust and integrity, and you've disgraced them both.

01:11:19Your father nearly died because of your ego.

01:11:23Because of his lies.

01:11:26You saved me.

01:11:29You saved Nelson.

01:11:30And now you can save Vale.

01:11:33I tried to warn you all.

01:11:35No one listened.

01:11:36They're listening now.

01:11:38You deserve to be at Vale more than either of those two.

01:11:43And probably even more than me.

01:11:46It was a mistake to let you go.

01:11:48Months ago, I was fired from Vale Hospital with procedures still in development.

01:11:54They weren't ready.

01:11:55They needed supervision.

01:11:58Precision.

01:11:59Development.

01:12:00Instead, someone took my notes and tried to fast-track them for glory.

01:12:04Oh, you can't prove that.

01:12:07Security footage.

01:12:11Of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital.

01:12:15Already submitted to the board.

01:12:18I built on what he started.

01:12:21Okay?

01:12:22I didn't steal.

01:12:23I enhanced it.

01:12:25Then why were patients about to die?

01:12:28You falsified rollout readiness?

01:12:31He did more than that.

01:12:33He put lives at risk to prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program.

01:12:38We're going to need to open a formal investigation on this.

01:12:42This is absurd.

01:12:44This was supposed to be our night.

01:12:46Oh, it's your night.

01:12:46It's just not the way you thought it'd be.

01:12:50You lied to me.

01:12:52I didn't lie.

01:12:53I simplified the truth.

01:12:55Simplify?

01:12:56You could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people.

01:13:01You nearly killed the president of the hospital.

01:13:03You passed up experimental procedures as launch-ready?

01:13:06That's malpractice.

01:13:08They worked.

01:13:10Nelson's alive.

01:13:11Look, the patients, they're alive.

01:13:13Yeah, because of me.

01:13:14Those methods require sequential tensioning, breath control, special clamp techniques.

01:13:19Getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death.

01:13:22Wait, these really are your techniques.

01:13:25I tested them for years.

01:13:28It was never meant for mass rollout.

01:13:30Not without training.

01:13:32You're rewriting history?

01:13:34No, you tried to erase him from it.

01:13:36Adrian Marksman was the reason that Vale's program had a future.

01:13:41And without him, it won't.

01:13:43This is absurd!

01:13:45You're siding with this disgraced former resident?

01:13:48He's not disgraced, son.

01:13:50You are.

01:13:52You hijacked a program you didn't understand.

01:13:55And then when your ego wasn't enough,

01:13:58you propped up this fraud.

01:14:02Taking his side, Dad?

01:14:04I'm your son.

01:14:06I'm taking the side of truth.

01:14:08And so will the board.

01:14:09We will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning.

01:14:13Until then, both of you are suspended from all surgical and administrative duties.

01:14:18Suspended?

01:14:19Oh, no, no, you can't do that.

01:14:20You don't understand the politics of running a hospital.

01:14:23We understand the liability.

01:14:24That's enough.

01:14:27Mr. Preston Vale, Dr. David Marksman, come with us.

01:14:33Dad, you're not going to let them drag me out like this.

01:14:35I'm your son.

01:14:36No, don't you touch me.

01:14:37You're not a child.

01:14:39Hey, Dad!

01:14:40I need a side bill there!

01:14:41I need a side bill there!

01:14:42You're not going to let them do something!

01:14:44Get off me!

01:14:45I need a side bill there!

01:14:46You're not a child!

01:14:48You're not my responsibility!

01:14:56Trim, please.

01:14:57I made a mistake.

01:14:59I see that now.

01:15:00I should have believed in you.

01:15:01I should have stood by you.

01:15:03You were right about everything.

01:15:08Just give me a second chance.

01:15:11Please.

01:15:12I still love you.

01:15:15Love?

01:15:16You traded him the second someone flashier walked by.

01:15:20You don't understand.

01:15:22I thought he was finished.

01:15:24I thought he had nothing left.

01:15:26So you sold him out.

01:15:28Mocked him.

01:15:29Over and over again.

01:15:32I was scared.

01:15:33I didn't know what to do.

01:15:35Oh, you knew.

01:15:36You just didn't care.

01:15:38Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser.

01:15:42Please.

01:15:44Say something.

01:15:47Anything.

01:15:48You had your chance, Fiona.

01:15:49And you spent it holding Preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive.

01:16:02You always belonged in my operating room.

01:16:05And I should have fought harder to keep you if I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes.

01:16:11The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board.

01:16:16And David will never go near another patient again.

01:16:20We're rebuilding.

01:16:22And I want you back as Vale's chief of experimental surgery.

01:16:29I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.

01:16:31You had your chance, too.

01:16:34I'm not the same man that you fired.

01:16:36Well, all the more reason we need you back at Vale.

01:16:40Adrian 2.0.

01:16:42I'm not coming back.

01:16:43You're choosing her?

01:16:47Our rival?

01:16:49You arrogant little ingrate.

01:16:51I open the door for you and you slam it in my face.

01:16:55Just typical.

01:16:57Just when you had your moment, you turned your back on it for, for what, her?

01:17:03She's just going to use you up and toss you aside like everyone else.

01:17:07Oh, projecting much, Nelson.

01:17:10Get me out of here.

01:17:11Now!

01:17:13Oh, damn it.

01:17:17Oh!

01:17:25Karma has good timing.

01:17:31Speaking of timing, we should get back to work.

01:17:37We have lives to save.

01:17:39Hey!

01:17:40Not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.

01:17:45I still owe you that extra special bonus.

01:17:50Now?

01:17:51We'll just spend a time like the present.

01:17:53Okay.

01:18:01This is what victory tastes like.

01:18:04It's not bad.

01:18:05I need a second opinion.

01:18:09Well, I've got all night.

01:18:11And you're not leaving this room until I've properly celebrated my genius surgeon.

01:18:17Should I be afraid of a performance review?

01:18:19You're already exceeding expectations.

01:18:23But I am very thorough.

01:18:25Okay.

01:18:31Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.

01:18:36Besides meeting you, of course.

01:18:38I mean...

01:18:43You're so happy to be minha of mine.

01:18:44No.

01:18:45No.

01:19:00You're welcome.
