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

00:00:04This patient's going to make a full recovery.

00:00:06What you just did will go down in the history of us.

00:00:09Who is this guy?

00:00:10He's taking over as hospital administrator.

00:00:12New management, new standards.

00:00:14Sleeping after a shift?

00:00:15You are fired!

00:00:17I just worked all night.

00:00:18Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon!

00:00:20He's the one!

00:00:21Did I fire you too already?

00:00:24Get your hand off my gun arm!

00:00:26We're done, Adrian.

00:00:28I need someone with a future.

00:00:30Dr. Marksman, would you consider joining Heart Medical Center as our chief of surgery?

00:00:34This isn't about money.

00:00:35Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you?

00:00:40These are his revolutionary procedures.

00:00:42With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.

00:00:45Please!

00:00:46Dad!

00:00:47Why are you just standing there?

00:00:48Do something!

00:00:49If you need help, just ask.

00:00:50All you have to do is admit what you did.

00:00:52A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured patients flooding into Vail Hospital's emergency department.

00:01:06The 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.

00:01:15Facial's crashing!

00:01:16We need an attending surgeon now!

00:01:18All the hours are full.

00:01:19We got three more clinicals incoming.

00:01:21Sir, the patient trauma three is coding.

00:01:24I can't leave this one.

00:01:25Where's Dr. Stevens?

00:01:26We need another attending surgeon.

00:01:27Everyone else is in the U.R.

00:01:29Need a hand?

00:01:47A new hire.

00:01:49You just started this month.

00:01:51Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level one trauma like this!

00:01:55Patient's pressure is dropping.

00:01:56Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman.

00:01:58Patient's yours.

00:02:05Okay, we are going to perform a modified Whipple.

00:02:09Whipple?

00:02:10For trauma?

00:02:11That's insane!

00:02:12Trust me.

00:02:13Metzenbaum scissors?

00:02:15Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.

00:02:20That procedure will take hours.

00:02:23The patient won't survive.

00:02:25Bovey Cottery?

00:02:28Watch.

00:02:29He's doing it in half the normal time.

00:02:30The bleeding?

00:02:31It's under control.

00:02:32But how did he...?

00:02:33Silk suture?

00:02:34Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.

00:02:43Silk Sutra.

00:02:49Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.

00:02:57I've never seen anything like this.

00:02:59Almost done.

00:03:09This patient's going to make a full recovery.

00:03:13The End

00:03:19Jesus, Adrian. What you just pulled off is impossible.

00:03:23I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but that...

00:03:26That was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed.

00:03:29Where did you learn to operate like that?

00:03:31What you just did will go down in the history books.

00:03:34Wait. I heard President Vail personally recruited a medical prodigy

00:03:38who revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.

00:03:41Is that you?

00:03:49Final suture.

00:03:51Miss Vail's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.

00:03:55Doctor. The nurses. They said you did it. And you... you actually did.

00:04:07Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.

00:04:11Every surgeon on the West Coast said it was inoperable, that she only had weeks to live, but...

00:04:17You... you saved my Catherine.

00:04:21She'll make a full recovery, President Vail.

00:04:23Name your price, whatever it is. We need you at Vail. My hospital.

00:04:27Look, I'll explain later. Right now we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.

00:04:35It's gonna take hours. Y'all should go home, get some rest.

00:04:39I'll take over from here.

00:04:41Okay. Good work, everyone.

00:04:57They're all stable. Every single one of them stabilized.

00:05:19Oh, sun's coming up. We must have operated all night.

00:05:29You're a machine.

00:05:31Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.

00:05:33All right. It's time for some much-needed Shaddai.

00:05:49Hey, you.

00:05:57Hey, yourself.

00:05:59I've been operating all night.

00:06:01You saved every single patient in that pileup.

00:06:05All you did was extraordinary.

00:06:07How do you always know exactly what I needed?

00:06:11Because I know you.

00:06:13Better than anyone.

00:06:19Blueberry.

00:06:21Your favorite?

00:06:23He remembered.

00:06:25Appreciate it.

00:06:27You know, I've been thinking lately.

00:06:29About us.

00:06:31I know it's only been a month, but...

00:06:35It just feels different.

00:06:45It's the third time this week.

00:06:47He's better than someone else's.

00:06:49Hmm.

00:06:50So who's this marksman guy?

00:06:52His surgical skills are unreal.

00:06:53Sure.

00:06:54I thought he was just another new hire.

00:06:56I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.

00:06:59With talent like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department right now.

00:07:10What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?

00:07:12Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.

00:07:16Who is this guy?

00:07:19Preston Vale, Preston Vale's son, Harvard MBA.

00:07:24He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife,

00:07:27who just recovered from an experimental pancreatic duodenectomy.

00:07:32I'm sorry, am I looking at two board-certified surgeons?

00:07:35Or med school dropouts?

00:07:37Hard to tell based on your behavior.

00:07:40Sir, about last-

00:07:42Save it!

00:07:44Harker.

00:07:45You couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.

00:07:49You're fired.

00:07:50Clear out your office.

00:07:52New management means new standards.

00:07:55It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.

00:07:58Attention and everybody's attention now.

00:08:03If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs,

00:08:07every surgery must be perfect.

00:08:09No complications, no deaths.

00:08:12This second-rate medicine stops right now.

00:08:15Who does he think he is, Dr. House?

00:08:20What is this?

00:08:22Excellence in emergency medicine?

00:08:25Save your ego stroking for your own time.

00:08:28This is a hospital.

00:08:31We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.

00:08:35That was from my residency direction.

00:08:38Oh, cry me a river!

00:08:40Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients

00:08:42and a little less time collecting gold stars, you'd be a real doctor.

00:08:47You're fired.

00:08:48Excuse me?

00:08:49Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop

00:08:51just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.

00:08:54Yes, sir.

00:08:55Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?

00:08:59That was good.

00:09:00Let's go.

00:09:05Well, well, well.

00:09:07What do we have here?

00:09:09Sleeping after a shift?

00:09:12Rise and shine, superstar.

00:09:18Did I order a wake-up call?

00:09:20No, you didn't.

00:09:22But here's one anyway.

00:09:23You are fired!

00:09:28Are you serious?

00:09:29You're firing me?

00:09:31Do you need me to draw you a diagram, doctor?

00:09:34Well, no, but there must be some sort of mistake.

00:09:37Fiona, what's his position here?

00:09:39He's...

00:09:42a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.

00:09:45What's he make?

00:09:46$700,000.

00:09:48That's standard for a trauma surgeon.

00:09:50$700?

00:09:51Are you insane?

00:09:53You're giving resident money to a first-year who sleeps on the job?

00:09:56This hospital is being scammed!

00:09:59I just worked all night, okay?

00:10:00I'm just taking a nap.

00:10:01Also, now you're expecting overtime pay.

00:10:04I've seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.

00:10:08What were you thinking, hiring this fraud?

00:10:11Either you're as dumb as these hack surgeons, or this is some sort of insurance scam!

00:10:16Adrian and I might be sleeping together, but I can't let him drag me down.

00:10:20My career comes first.

00:10:23Boy, bye.

00:10:25There must be some clerical error.

00:10:27His credentials...

00:10:29Other residents make a fraction of that salary.

00:10:32Fiona?

00:10:34Dr. Marksman, you are F-I-R-E-D fired.

00:10:42Clear out your office.

00:10:44Clear out your locker.

00:10:45Get the hell out of my hospital!

00:10:48This is a mistake, okay?

00:10:49You need to check the surgical law.

00:10:50Oh!

00:10:51You don't get weird that.

00:10:52What?

00:10:59I see.

00:11:02Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.

00:11:05You don't understand.

00:11:06He's the one who-

00:11:07Didn't I fire you two already?

00:11:09Beat it!

00:11:10Vale is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?

00:11:12Don't make this worse for yourselves.

00:11:13I understand.

00:11:14Hospital politics.

00:11:16Look, I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.

00:11:19Meet me in the lobby, have two hours.

00:11:21I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.

00:11:24Meet me in the lobby, have two hours.

00:11:25I'll be waiting.

00:11:26I'll be waiting.

00:11:27You care to explain that little exchange?

00:11:28No.

00:11:29No.

00:11:30No.

00:11:31No.

00:11:32No.

00:11:33No.

00:11:34No.

00:11:35No.

00:11:36No.

00:11:37No.

00:11:38No.

00:11:39No.

00:11:40No.

00:11:41No.

00:11:42No.

00:11:43No.

00:11:44No.

00:11:45No.

00:11:46No.

00:11:47No.

00:11:48No.

00:11:49No.

00:11:50No.

00:11:51No.

00:11:52No.

00:11:53No.

00:11:54And that was wonderful.

00:11:56Happy to explain that little exchange?

00:12:01The board won't like this, four attendings dismissed in one day.

00:12:05Patient care will suffer.

00:12:06Fear is a weapon, Fiona.

00:12:08I intend to wield it.

00:12:09Or perhaps you're more concerned with one surgeon in particular?

00:12:14Your little, scam artist situationship?

00:12:16No, Preston. He means nothing to me. Really. I have no personal stake in your staffing decision.

00:12:22Let's be clear about your future here.

00:12:25Do you want to be with the nobody collecting unemployment checks or the man who signs everyone's paychecks, including yours?

00:12:35The man who signs everyone's paychecks.

00:12:39Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded who's in charge around here.

00:12:46Hey, Dad. What's wrong?

00:12:54Your mother's having a rough week of recovery. She'll be okay, but I need you to take full control of the hospital.

00:13:01And, Preston, there's something critical you need to know.

00:13:04Of course. What is it?

00:13:05That new surgeon, Dr. Marksman? Whatever happens, make sure you take care of him.

00:13:11Dr. Marksman?

00:13:12Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired. Get out of my hospital.

00:13:17Christ.

00:13:18The resident I just fired?

00:13:21Preston? Are you there?

00:13:24Check the staff roster. Um, see if we have another marksman working for us here.

00:13:28I had to back up the brakes truck to get him here. He's a surgeon who saved your mother's life, and he's pioneering our experimental surgery program. The hospital's reputation rests on his work.

00:13:43Ah, yes. I see now. There's another surgeon attending with that name.

00:13:54Dr. Marksman, pioneer in experimental trauma surgery. Two-time Florence Nightingale, medal recipient for medical excellence. Three-times Apex award winner for clinical research. Is this who you mean, Dad?

00:14:05That's our man. There's another surgeon with the same last name who's been a disaster for us. Negligent, lazy, you name it. Do me a favor. Fire him.

00:14:16Already done, Dad. I fired his slacker ass this morning.

00:14:20Thank God. Almost thought I fired our star surgeon.

00:14:23Good work, son. I'll visit when your mother's stronger.

00:14:29Just, uh, just take care of Mom, all right? I got everything else under control.

00:14:35See? Told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless. Now, about your career trajectory.

00:14:48Mr. Bale, sir.

00:14:49Can't you see I'm busy?

00:14:51Multiple traumas incoming. The six-car pileup. You fired half our surgery team.

00:14:55What's your point?

00:14:56ER is crashing. We've no one left who can handle it.

00:15:05Give me the situation. Now.

00:15:08Six critical traumas. Three more incoming. Multiple crush injuries. Arterial bleed, sir.

00:15:14We're losing patients.

00:15:16What are our options?

00:15:17There might be one solution.

00:15:19Well, spit it out.

00:15:20Dr. Marksman. He handled four critical traumas alone last night. If we can get him back here.

00:15:26Marksman. Right. That's the man we need. Fiona, call him.

00:15:29Which Dr. Marksman should I?

00:15:31The genius surgeon. The one I didn't fire. Keep up.

00:15:39The hell? Where'd all this stuff go?

00:15:42The idiot left us research notes.

00:16:01Mmm. Modified trauma protocol.

00:16:04Wait.

00:16:06These are his revolutionary procedures.

00:16:08Oh, this is brilliant work.

00:16:16Hello?

00:16:17Dr. Marksman? Multiple critical traumas in the ER.

00:16:21Preston Vale says if you can handle this crisis, there's a monster promotion waiting.

00:16:26I'm on my way.

00:16:26With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.

00:16:34They'll make me department head.

00:16:36And I can finally make seven figures.

00:16:44Well?

00:16:45Dr. Marksman's on his way.

00:16:47Thank God.

00:16:51Okay.

00:16:56Now, about your loyalty.

00:17:01Adrian meant nothing.

00:17:03I was using him to advance my career.

00:17:06You're my future.

00:17:07That's my girl.

00:17:16Beyond a shift in it an hour ago,

00:17:18the boss's son is up to something.

00:17:22To hell with this.

00:17:23I'm going out.

00:17:26Piece of shit!

00:17:43Get your hand off my girl!

00:17:47Oh, just knock it off, Adrian!

00:17:49You mean to tell me that the brilliant surgeon can't see what's been happening under his own nose?

00:17:54You mean to tell me that you've been messing around with this incompetent nepo baby?

00:17:58I can choose who I want.

00:17:59And I don't want a disgrace surgeon with no future.

00:18:02You pathetic loser.

00:18:03You pathetic loser.

00:18:03We're done, Adrian.

00:18:21Ancient history.

00:18:22Are you serious?

00:18:25Just like that.

00:18:27Sorry that this bum wrinkled your jacket, sir.

00:18:30Why are you doing this, Fiona?

00:18:34Am I just a stepping stone to you?

00:18:36I need someone with a future.

00:18:38Not someone who sleeps while patients are dying!

00:18:45Keep it for when you get lonely and horny.

00:18:48It's the closest you'll ever come to the real thing again.

00:18:50Look at us, Adrian.

00:18:56I'm the future of Vail Hospital.

00:18:59And you?

00:19:02Just a slacker.

00:19:04And scrubs.

00:19:05You're washed up, marksman.

00:19:07Perhaps try nursing.

00:19:09I hear they're always hiring.

00:19:12Fiona, I met you here and it made me want to stay.

00:19:14I thought we could build a family together.

00:19:17Get over yourself.

00:19:20You think I'm going to stay with someone who lied about their credentials?

00:19:24President Vail would never have hired someone who sleeps during shifts.

00:19:31We're done.

00:19:32I'm not done.

00:19:34But when I am, there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.

00:19:39You can count on that.

00:19:43No, no, no.

00:19:44Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.

00:19:46Your troubles are just getting started.

00:19:53Who authorized you to be here?

00:19:55Mr. Vail, I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision,

00:19:58we've stabilized all the patients from the multi-car accident.

00:20:01And the situation is completely under control.

00:20:04You're Dr. Marksman.

00:20:06Ah, yes.

00:20:07The very same.

00:20:08My father mentioned your exceptional credentials.

00:20:11Harvard Medical, was it?

00:20:12These morons have no idea I'm taking credit for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.

00:20:19As long as the boss's son is impressed, I'll be chief of surgery by next month.

00:20:24Mr. Vail, I've identified who's responsible for all the issues in OR3 today.

00:20:29He was sleeping while a patient almost died on the table.

00:20:33Clear-cut medical malfeasance.

00:20:35Okay.

00:20:42Dr. Hart.

00:20:46Incredible news.

00:20:47Dr. Adrian Marksman, that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking,

00:20:51he's just been terminated from Vail Hospital.

00:20:55When?

00:20:56Less than an hour ago.

00:20:57Dismissed by President Vail's son.

00:21:01Huh?

00:21:02Amazing.

00:21:03I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face when he discovers that his prized surgeon was fired by his submental son.

00:21:11With, uh, respect, we're still establishing our reputation?

00:21:16Would someone of Marksman's caliber even consider joining us?

00:21:20We'll offer him whatever it takes.

00:21:23Full department autonomy.

00:21:25Research funding.

00:21:27State-of-the-art facilities.

00:21:28And, if necessary, my personal involvement.

00:21:34His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.

00:21:38Have my car brought round.

00:21:40I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.

00:21:43And Adrian Marksman?

00:21:45He's leaving with me.

00:21:52Now, Fisits?

00:21:53What kind of delusional accusation is that?

00:21:56Now, don't insult our intelligence.

00:21:57A patient coded while you were off taking a nap.

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

00:22:02Yet, you stand there denying it.

00:22:04This is crazy.

00:22:05You've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon.

00:22:08And when a complication occurs, which happened in this hospital under your incompetent leadership,

00:22:14you blame me.

00:22:18The collective medical knowledge in this room isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.

00:22:21If you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be, you would still have a job.

00:22:28I'm not going to stand here and debate medicine with you in front of Mr. Vail.

00:22:32Security, please detain him.

00:22:33What exactly are you accusing me of?

00:22:41Either confess to medical malfeasance, or they'll escort you to the police for criminal negligence.

00:22:49Adrian, I never realized you were capable of endangering patients.

00:22:53What other medical atrocities have you committed?

00:22:56You better confess now, or we'll do everything in our power to make sure you lose your medical license.

00:23:00Fine. Go ahead. Do your worst.

00:23:06Let's see if a single piece of evidence holds up in front of the medical board.

00:23:11You really underestimate my family's influence, don't you?

00:23:16Don't you realize that Mr. Vail here can end your entire career with one phone call?

00:23:21Sir, I strongly recommend that we make an example out of him.

00:23:24After all, he'll be a danger to his patients wherever he goes.

00:23:27Preston, you can't let him walk away after this.

00:23:30Not after what he did to our patients.

00:23:34I'm contacting the medical board right now.

00:23:37As of this moment, Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted from Vail Hospital and every medical institute in the country.

00:23:44Plans in motion, Adrian.

00:23:45Do you know what that means?

00:23:47It means that you will never practice medicine in this country again.

00:23:51I have one question before I go.

00:23:56Does your father know you fired me?

00:23:59My father's the one who asked me to fire you, you dipshit.

00:24:04You thought you were some brilliant surgical god, didn't you?

00:24:09Security, remove this criminal from hospital property immediately.

00:24:12Immediately.

00:24:13Yes, doctor.

00:24:14Right away, sir.

00:24:18That's quite enough.

00:24:19Yes.

00:24:21Dr. Marksman is about to accept the position as Chief of Surgical Innovation at Hart Medical Center.

00:24:42I know you.

00:24:44You're Vivian Hart, the surgical upstart from that medical clinic across town.

00:24:48That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you, Mr. Vail.

00:24:53Vivian, I haven't seen you since the John Hopkins Symposium, like four or five years ago.

00:24:58What are you doing here?

00:24:59Well, I'm here for the most innovative surgeon in the country, of course.

00:25:04Wait.

00:25:05Are you seriously suggesting this negligent doctor has value?

00:25:09He was sleeping during rounds.

00:25:11Is this how Vail Hospital discards its exceptional talent?

00:25:15Your father built this institution's reputation of medical excellence, not petty politics.

00:25:23Dr. Hart, with all due respect...

00:25:26This is a conversation between medical directors.

00:25:28Someone in your position should recognize when to maintain silence.

00:25:31Dr. Hart, I must inform you that Dr. Marksman represents a serious liability.

00:25:37He compromised patient safety and...

00:25:40I don't believe I requested your medical opinion, Dr...

00:25:43Marksman.

00:25:44David Marksman.

00:25:45I have neither time nor interest in your assessment.

00:25:48After he decided to go to sleep, we had a critical surgical complication.

00:25:56His negligence led to the problem.

00:25:58His actions not only endangered patients, it compromised my hospital's reputation.

00:26:03Are you really willing to defend someone who violates the Hippocratic Oath?

00:26:08Did you actually consult with your father before dismissing Dr. Marksman?

00:26:13Of course I consulted my father.

00:26:14He's the one who specifically mentioned his dangerous surgical shortcuts and inflated reputation.

00:26:22Dangerous shortcuts?

00:26:24Is that what President Vail really said?

00:26:27His exact words were, remove him at first opportunity.

00:26:31President Vail was the one that recruited me.

00:26:32This makes absolutely no sense.

00:26:34Please, Adrian.

00:26:35The president wouldn't personally recruit a mid-level surgeon like you.

00:26:40Those gala invitations were professional courtesy.

00:26:42Not genuine respect.

00:26:45Well, if that's the way things work at Vail, I have nothing more to contribute.

00:26:49To any of you.

00:26:50Dr. Marksman.

00:26:51Would you consider joining Hart Medical Center as our chief of surgery?

00:26:57Well, I've...

00:26:58Full department autonomy.

00:27:00Protected research time.

00:27:02A surgical fellowship in your name.

00:27:04And a seven-figure salary package.

00:27:07Okay.

00:27:12And cash.

00:27:38Dr. Marksman.

00:27:40I want you to revolutionize our surgery program.

00:27:44Hopefully this shows you.

00:27:46I mean what I say.

00:27:53Chief of surgery?

00:27:57You're offering all this to a surgeon who can't even keep his eyes open on the job?

00:28:02Dr. Hart, have you completely lost your medical judgment or are you on drugs?

00:28:07This is absurd.

00:28:09He was a mediocre surgeon here at Vail.

00:28:11And now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department?

00:28:17Medical board should review your hiring practices.

00:28:22Vivian.

00:28:22I appreciate your confidence.

00:28:26This isn't about money.

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

00:28:34She's offering herself up to him.

00:28:35She can't do that.

00:28:37Are you a doctor or a call girl?

00:28:40At Hart Medical Center, you will be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves.

00:28:45Including a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value.

00:28:50And I don't mean anything, Dr. Marksman.

00:28:55Dr. Hart.

00:28:57For the sake of your own reputation, you need to know that this hack you're so eagerly pursuing has a documented history of negligence.

00:29:05My father confirmed it himself.

00:29:07Is that precisely what Nelson Bale told you?

00:29:10His exact words.

00:29:13Negligence, Serge.

00:29:14What are those?

00:29:18Personal gifts from your father.

00:29:20My fellowship offer.

00:29:25My personal research lab.

00:29:27My surgical team.

00:29:28I'm leaving it all behind.

00:29:32You can tell President Vail that as of this moment, Dr. Marksman has permanently withdrawn from Vail Hospital and all of its affiliated institutions.

00:29:41You know what?

00:29:42Spare us the theatrics, Adrian.

00:29:44You never deserved those privileges in the first place.

00:29:47The medical board is going to see that justice is done.

00:29:51Oh.

00:29:52Your stupidity.

00:29:54It's just astonishing.

00:29:56You treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels.

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

00:30:03Dr. Hart, I understand there's some competition between your center and Vail Hospital.

00:30:12Yeah.

00:30:12Look, I'll be real.

00:30:14We're struggling to get out from under their shadow.

00:30:16Look, I'd be happy to help you out with that.

00:30:19Take me on.

00:30:19And I'll transform Hart into the number one surgical institution in the country.

00:30:25Look at yourself, Adrian.

00:30:27Offering your skills to a struggling clinic.

00:30:30How pathetically desperate.

00:30:32Oh.

00:30:32A backstabbing bottom feeder like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his caliber.

00:30:39How dare you talk to me like that!

00:30:42Your malpractice has caused catastrophic damage to my hospital's reputation.

00:30:48As the responsible party, I demand that you issue a formal apology to one of the major medical journals.

00:30:54And with an explanation to every affected Vail Hospital patient.

00:30:58Refuse me, and I will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently.

00:31:05That accusation isn't just basis.

00:31:07It's absurd.

00:31:09What exactly do you think you're going to do about it?

00:31:11You've got no choice but to sign this confession.

00:31:14Oh, stop threatening my chief surgeon.

00:31:16If you insist on pursuing this vendetta, have your attorney send a formal complaint to Hart Medical Center.

00:31:22We'll consider it nothing less than a declaration of total war.

00:31:27If it's war you want, I will obliterate your dime store clinic with everything that I've got.

00:31:34Let's go.

00:31:36One more second and this cesspool's going to make me physically ill.

00:31:48Mr. Vail, don't you waste another precious moment on those secondary practitioners.

00:31:54David, you've proven your loyalty.

00:31:57The chief of surgery position is yours, effective immediately.

00:32:01This is extraordinary.

00:32:05I am honored beyond words.

00:32:10Don't forget about me, Preston.

00:32:13Don't worry, babe.

00:32:14You will be thoroughly compensated for your loyalty.

00:32:17How exciting.

00:32:21Mr. Vail, I swear on my medical oath that I will not disappoint you.

00:32:27Mr. Vail, a commuter train derailed.

00:32:29Six critical patients incoming.

00:32:31Dr. Marksman, OR1 now.

00:32:33Now's your time to shine, Dr. Marksman.

00:32:35Shit.

00:32:36I'm screwed.

00:32:36Adrian's surgical journal with all his proprietary techniques is still in my office.

00:32:40If Preston finds out, I stole it and then couldn't even use it properly.

00:32:45I implemented a groundbreaking surgical protocol that I invented myself.

00:32:51These techniques are revolutionary.

00:32:53I'll walk you through it in detail after the emergency.

00:32:56It's impressive, Dr. Marksman.

00:32:58You've obviously got your own methodology.

00:33:01No need to bore me with the specifics.

00:33:03I trust your brilliance.

00:33:04Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.

00:33:06With you leading my surgical team, I can focus on what really matters.

00:33:10Hospital expansion.

00:33:13Again, sir, I'm deeply honored.

00:33:22Behold, Vail Hospital's new chief of surgery.

00:33:25Let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now.

00:33:28I'm glad you're feeling better, honey.

00:33:34Yeah.

00:33:35Well, sorry.

00:33:37Who's this?

00:33:41Nelson Vail speaking.

00:33:42President Vail, Dr. Vivian Hart here.

00:33:46I am calling to let you know that as of this morning, Hart Medical Center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena.

00:33:53Revolutionary surgical procedures are Vail Hospital's domain.

00:33:57Are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight?

00:34:01This is merely a professional courtesy call, not an invitation for debate.

00:34:05Now, just...

00:34:06What is that conniving bitch plotting?

00:34:14She knows Adrian is our surgical secret weapon.

00:34:18Why would she deliberately provoke a medical war she has absolutely no chance of winning?

00:34:23Dad, we've got multiple traumas coming in.

00:34:35Just tell me you didn't fire Dr. Marksman.

00:34:38Dad, relax.

00:34:40I fired the other one, that incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned.

00:34:44Then explain to me why Hart Medical Center believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy.

00:34:52Because I masterfully led Vivian Hart into a false sense of reality.

00:34:57There's no way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures.

00:35:01I convinced Vivian that she's acquired surgical brilliance.

00:35:05But in reality, she's hired our disgraced, discarded loser.

00:35:08So you deliberately manipulated Vivian?

00:35:12She thinks she's hired the genius behind Vail Hospital's groundbreaking procedures.

00:35:17That's why she had the audacity to declare war on you.

00:35:19Impressive, son.

00:35:21You're finally showing some of the leadership qualities.

00:35:24I've been waiting to see out of you.

00:35:26I think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division.

00:35:32Dad, this is everything I've worked for.

00:35:36We'll get to work immediately.

00:35:37We're going to expose Hart Medical Center for the low-grade institution it truly is.

00:35:45Their humiliation will be quick and absolute.

00:35:49I won't let you down.

00:35:52Darling, surgical innovation is the future of Vail.

00:35:56Preston only got his MBA last year.

00:35:58Do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program?

00:36:02I would never take a risk like this if Preston was our only asset.

00:36:08Remember, we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon.

00:36:13You mean the surgeon that saved my life?

00:36:15Dr. Adrian Marksman.

00:36:17Exactly.

00:36:18And all I need to do is stay hands-off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents.

00:36:26As long as Adrian is with Vail Hospital, Hart Medical Center has no chance of competing.

00:36:34Not only that, Vivian fell for Preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster, Dr. David Marksman.

00:36:43And all we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble.

00:36:51So, now that you've seen the surgical department, what do you think?

00:37:03It's not bad.

00:37:05It's a small team, but they're talented.

00:37:07What you've built here, it's impressive, Viv.

00:37:13It's good to see you again after all these years, Adrian.

00:37:16You too.

00:37:18We need to expand.

00:37:19And it's too small for what I'm planning.

00:37:23Also, I heard you weren't the only surgeon Preston Bale fired.

00:37:32We have all the angles figured out, don't you?

00:37:35And I always find the best one.

00:37:45I'm going to start recruiting.

00:37:48Good.

00:37:49The faster we rise, the more rewarding this partnership becomes.

00:38:07This better be good.

00:38:10Mr. Vail, you wanted to see me?

00:38:13My father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department.

00:38:22Given your new position as chief of surgery, I'm appointing you head of innovation.

00:38:27Mr. Vail, I, uh...

00:38:29Is there an issue with that?

00:38:31No, absolutely not.

00:38:33The budget for innovation is astronomical, and President Vail has already handed control to his son?

00:38:39If I oversee these procedures, I could divert significant resources to my personal research.

00:38:45Mr. Vail, you can trust me completely.

00:38:49I am precisely the right man for the job.

00:38:51Preston, we have a catastrophe on our hands.

00:38:56Two attending surgeons just submitted their resignation simultaneously.

00:38:59The department can't possibly maintain its caseload.

00:39:01What?

00:39:02They both resigned at once?

00:39:03What was their explanation?

00:39:04They refused to disclose their reasons.

00:39:06But there's talk they were recruited by a former Vail physician, along with the three other surgeons you fired before.

00:39:11Former physician Adrian Marksman, this has his saboteur signature all over it.

00:39:16President, what's our contingency plan?

00:39:18The surgical department is severely understaffed.

00:39:21If any more surgeons leave, patients will suffer.

00:39:23Okay, everybody needs to remain calm.

00:39:27You still have me.

00:39:29I can rebuild this department.

00:39:31Ah, yes.

00:39:33With your stellar reputation, we should be able to get the best of the best.

00:39:36Exactly.

00:39:37So we lost some second-rate talent.

00:39:40Let him go.

00:39:41I'll make some calls to Cedars-Sinai and UCLA.

00:39:47Good work, Marksman.

00:39:52This is working out perfectly.

00:39:54Now I can install my own allies in key positions.

00:39:57Soon, I'll control the entire hospital's medical direction.

00:40:11It's an hour to meet you, Dr. Hart.

00:40:25This is Dr. Parker here.

00:40:31He's a triple board certified surgeon.

00:40:33And soon, he'll be the head of trauma surgery.

00:40:36This is Dr. Rose, Chen, Rose, and Thomas.

00:40:40All consummate professionals.

00:40:42My most trusted colleagues back at Vail.

00:40:44With this surgical team, Hart Medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country.

00:40:54Actually, the whole world.

00:40:56We're eager to begin, Dr. Hart.

00:40:58Well, welcome to Hart Medical Center.

00:41:01I am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us, but I do need to be transparent.

00:41:08We have got considerable ground to cover before we can truly challenge Vail Hospital's dominance.

00:41:14Have no fear, Dr. Hart.

00:41:16With Adrian leading our team, we'll be three steps ahead of anything Vail attempts.

00:41:21Yes, but Vail has already implemented Adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols.

00:41:27Yeah, about that.

00:41:28It's a preliminary version.

00:41:30If they continue to develop this approach without modification...

00:41:33Then what?

00:41:34A lot of deaths.

00:41:35A lot of lawsuits.

00:41:37A lot of patients could be harmed.

00:41:39Or worse, these procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation

00:41:43without proper refinement.

00:41:45Those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training.

00:41:49Without that foundation...

00:41:51We're talking about serious complications.

00:41:54Preventable harm.

00:41:55Our first priority has to be patient safety.

00:41:58We need to perfect these procedures.

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

00:42:05Exactly.

00:42:05It's not about competition or pride.

00:42:08It's about saving lives.

00:42:09We're using our experience with the trial procedures I did at Vail to develop next-generation surgical techniques,

00:42:18eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies.

00:42:22Even if Vail Hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new,

00:42:28we'll maintain our significant advantage.

00:42:31And if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols,

00:42:35rest assured, their outcomes will deteriorate.

00:42:39I don't wish it upon their patients, that's for sure.

00:42:42Remember this moment.

00:42:43In this battle for medical supremacy,

00:42:46Heart Medical Center will emerge victorious.

00:42:48It's 3 a.m.

00:42:57I lost track of time again.

00:43:04Viv, you surprised me.

00:43:08Looks like you could use a nice rub.

00:43:11Do you mind?

00:43:12No.

00:43:13I mean, yeah.

00:43:17Will you give all your surgeons massages?

00:43:21Only the ones I really, really like.

00:43:28You really, really like me?

00:43:31Adrienne, I've really, really liked you since residency.

00:43:35Nothing's changed.

00:43:37You were our most brilliant resident in the program.

00:43:40I never imagined someone like you would like me.

00:43:42There was never anyone else that got my attention.

00:43:46Only you.

00:43:48But you were completely oblivious.

00:43:51And then you just vanished from the program.

00:43:55Well, I left to join the Experimental Surgical Fellowship in Switzerland.

00:43:59I know.

00:44:02Your talent was extraordinary even then.

00:44:04Back then, I made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday.

00:44:10You know, when I established Heart Medical Center,

00:44:13my first priority was recruiting you.

00:44:16But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Vale,

00:44:21had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives.

00:44:24So, should we pick up where we left off in residency?

00:44:39We're the boss.

00:44:41That's right.

00:44:42And as your boss, I say, come home with me.

00:44:47Tonight?

00:44:48You lost everything when Preston fired you.

00:44:51Hospital privileges, research funding,

00:44:55even your hospital-subsidized apartment.

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

00:45:04Come with me.

00:45:07Where?

00:45:08My place.

00:45:14Hmm.

00:45:18All right.

00:45:19I'll admit it.

00:45:21That was the best meal I've had in months.

00:45:23Careful, Dr. Marksman.

00:45:25I might start thinking you're easy to please.

00:45:28That just depends on the company.

00:45:30Well, starting tonight,

00:45:32this is your new home.

00:45:35Until the program's fully established,

00:45:37I should just make sense.

00:45:39Are you sure about that?

00:45:40We already work late hours.

00:45:43Living together could get complicated.

00:45:47Well, I like complicated.

00:45:49Keeps things interesting.

00:45:52And where exactly will I be sleeping?

00:45:55Well,

00:45:56my master suite

00:46:00has a California king.

00:46:07Plenty of room.

00:46:08If things ever need to get more.

00:46:12Collaborative.

00:46:14Really?

00:46:16Relax.

00:46:17I'm only teasing.

00:46:19Tonight, at least.

00:46:22Come on.

00:46:25I'll show you your room.

00:46:27unless you'd rather have a nightcap

00:46:30than mine.

00:46:38Things could get dangerous.

00:46:45Is this pathetic attempt

00:46:46really the best that you can do?

00:46:47You are completely

00:46:53worthless as surgeons.

00:46:54Dr. Marksman,

00:46:56the experimental procedures

00:46:57we're trying to replicate here

00:46:58are extraordinarily intricate.

00:47:00We need at least

00:47:01six months

00:47:02to properly master.

00:47:04Six months?

00:47:05You have 72 hours.

00:47:07And I expect hourly updates

00:47:09on my desk.

00:47:10Sir,

00:47:10brushing these

00:47:11delicate procedures

00:47:12dramatically increases

00:47:14the possibility

00:47:14of potentially fatal complications.

00:47:16Three days.

00:47:17Then you don't get

00:47:18one hour more.

00:47:20Go.

00:47:21Go.

00:47:25Report, Dr. Marksman.

00:47:27What's our status?

00:47:28Excellent progress,

00:47:29Mr. Vale.

00:47:30We will be advancing

00:47:30to Phase 2 implementation

00:47:32within three days.

00:47:34That's exactly

00:47:35what I wanted to hear.

00:47:36I knew my judgment

00:47:37in appointing you

00:47:37was flawless.

00:47:38Preston, I need an update

00:47:45on the experimental

00:47:46surgery program.

00:47:48Everything's proceeding

00:47:49perfectly, Father.

00:47:50Outstanding.

00:47:51When this is done,

00:47:52I'll throw you a huge party

00:47:54to celebrate the launch.

00:47:55Your father must be

00:47:56so proud of you.

00:47:58Keep up the good work,

00:47:59Dr. Marksman.

00:48:00I'll make sure my father

00:48:01understands your

00:48:02invaluable contribution.

00:48:04This is my shot.

00:48:05Why settle for chief

00:48:06of surgery?

00:48:07With the right maneuvering,

00:48:08I could become the next

00:48:09chief medical officer

00:48:10of Vale Hospital.

00:48:12Mr. Vale,

00:48:13my purpose is to execute

00:48:15the visionary

00:48:16medical strategies

00:48:17of brilliant administrators

00:48:19such as yourself.

00:48:21I believe that in the position

00:48:22of chief medical officer,

00:48:24I could implement

00:48:25your ideas more effectively

00:48:27throughout the entire hospital.

00:48:28If these procedures

00:48:29prove successful,

00:48:30I will personally discuss

00:48:32your advancement

00:48:32with the board.

00:48:33Truly, that's...

00:48:35I am profoundly grateful, sir.

00:48:57You're finally awake.

00:48:58You can keep appreciating

00:49:05the view while you eat.

00:49:07All right.

00:49:08Ooh, breakfast.

00:49:09Looks good.

00:49:13When you're finished eating,

00:49:15we'll head directly

00:49:15to the surgical wing.

00:49:17Sound good?

00:49:18Yes.

00:49:19Absolutely.

00:49:20Good.

00:49:22Get it up and running,

00:49:23and there may be

00:49:24a special bonus

00:49:26waiting for you.

00:49:27extra special.

00:49:39Okay, team.

00:49:41We're approaching

00:49:41a critical phase

00:49:42of our program development.

00:49:44We have groundbreaking

00:49:45procedures that we need

00:49:46to perfect

00:49:46in very little time,

00:49:48so let's get to it.

00:49:50Let's start

00:49:50revolutionizing medicine.

00:49:52I have excellent news

00:49:53for all of you.

00:49:54I've just finalized

00:49:55arrangements with the board,

00:49:57and upon successful

00:49:58implementation

00:49:59of our surgical innovations,

00:50:02each of you will receive

00:50:03a fully funded

00:50:04medical mission trip

00:50:05anywhere in the world

00:50:06that you choose

00:50:06to share your expertise.

00:50:08And when the time comes

00:50:10that our procedures

00:50:11receive national certification,

00:50:14every surgeon on this team

00:50:16will be gifted

00:50:16a percentage of the royalties

00:50:18from any techniques

00:50:19we patent.

00:50:22At Heart Medical Center,

00:50:24our surgeons

00:50:25are the lifeblood

00:50:26of our institution,

00:50:28and you will be

00:50:29compensated accordingly.

00:50:33Dr. Heart,

00:50:34we are fully committed

00:50:35to making this

00:50:36surgical program

00:50:37a success.

00:50:38Absolutely.

00:50:38You'll be seeing progress

00:50:40ASAP.

00:50:41Vail Hospital

00:50:41won't know what hit him.

00:50:43With Adrian leading us,

00:50:44victory is guaranteed.

00:50:45Heart is best!

00:50:46Heart is best!

00:50:48Heart is best!

00:50:49Heart is best!

00:50:50Heart is best!

00:50:52We're running wild

00:50:54hearts on fire.

00:50:56Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

00:50:59We're chasing dreams

00:51:00and climbing higher.

00:51:03Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

00:51:05Can't always fight.

00:51:07Rainy is staying.

00:51:08Can't always fight.

00:51:10We're going on the way.

00:51:11You always this disciplined?

00:51:25Or are you just

00:51:26trying to impress me?

00:51:28If I was trying

00:51:29to impress you,

00:51:30you even know.

00:51:31Midnight meetings,

00:51:34long hours,

00:51:36this work ethic of yours,

00:51:39it's a little dangerous.

00:51:41That's what Vail

00:51:44used to say about me.

00:51:47Then they fired me.

00:51:51Then they were fools.

00:51:54You've earned

00:51:55more than just respect

00:51:56here, Adrian.

00:51:58You know that, right?

00:52:04You trying to motivate me again?

00:52:06I don't try.

00:52:07I don't try.

00:52:11I do.

00:52:14Well,

00:52:15don't work too late.

00:52:20You're no good to me,

00:52:21burnt out.

00:52:22The incompetence

00:52:31is, uh,

00:52:33is staggering.

00:52:35Yeah, you too

00:52:36are in way over your heads.

00:52:39Do you really think

00:52:40that this is acceptable?

00:52:42I give you one simple task

00:52:43and you screw it up.

00:52:45How the hell did either of you

00:52:46even finish

00:52:47residency?

00:52:48Vail General Hospital

00:52:50is the gold standard

00:52:53and you two are just

00:52:53standing around

00:52:54like clueless little interns.

00:52:56If these surgical models

00:52:57aren't flawless by tomorrow,

00:52:59you're both gone.

00:53:00Is that clear?

00:53:02Yes, sir.

00:53:03This is the man I trusted

00:53:04to lead my surgical team?

00:53:08Go.

00:53:09Go.

00:53:09Oh, Mr. Vail.

00:53:16What a, what a,

00:53:17what a surprise.

00:53:18Cut the bullshit, Marksman.

00:53:21We on schedule or not?

00:53:22Of course.

00:53:24We're,

00:53:24we're just refining

00:53:26the final stages.

00:53:28Yeah,

00:53:28everything is under control.

00:53:30Good.

00:53:32There's a problem.

00:53:32I expect to hear it from you

00:53:33with no cover-ups.

00:53:34Of course, sir.

00:53:35Mr. Vail.

00:53:39Not now.

00:53:40Go get me the latest

00:53:41performance reports.

00:53:45It, uh,

00:53:47looks like Preston's

00:53:49growing a little cold

00:53:50on our lovely

00:53:50administrator here.

00:53:52Don't worry.

00:53:53When Preston makes me

00:53:54chief medical officer,

00:53:56I'm gonna need someone

00:53:57flexible in my corner.

00:54:00I respect the winning team,

00:54:01Dr. Marksman.

00:54:02I'm not sure.

00:54:03I'm not sure.

00:54:04Today, Vail Hospital

00:54:10officially launched

00:54:11its highly anticipated

00:54:13next-generation

00:54:14surgical program.

00:54:15This cutting-edge approach

00:54:16to surgical care

00:54:17is being closely watched

00:54:19by the medical industry,

00:54:21especially as

00:54:21Heart Medical's

00:54:22competing program

00:54:23was released

00:54:24on the same day.

00:54:26The question now is,

00:54:27who will define

00:54:27the future

00:54:28of surgery?

00:54:30Relax, Mr. Vail.

00:54:32Heart Medical

00:54:33doesn't stand a chance.

00:54:35I hope you're right.

00:54:37For your sake.

00:54:41Didn't you say that,

00:54:43uh, if the rollout

00:54:44went well,

00:54:44that you'd make me

00:54:45chief medical officer?

00:54:47It's not a success.

00:54:49Yet.

00:54:52Enjoy tonight's launch party.

00:54:54Because if our results

00:54:55don't outshine Heart Medical,

00:54:57it'll be the last thing

00:54:58you have to celebrate

00:54:58for a long time.

00:55:04Dr. Hurt, we, um,

00:55:12have a problem.

00:55:15Vail Hospital's new

00:55:16surgical program

00:55:17launches today.

00:55:18That soon?

00:55:19They're hosting

00:55:20a big celebration party

00:55:22tonight.

00:55:24It's a good thing

00:55:25we're ahead of...

00:55:27You're saying

00:55:29we're ready?

00:55:30Why would I lie?

00:55:31We've been tracking

00:55:32Vail's every move.

00:55:34Let him celebrate.

00:55:35It's just gonna backfire.

00:55:37How exactly

00:55:38does that work

00:55:38in our favor?

00:55:40Viv, do you remember

00:55:41what I told you

00:55:42when you first

00:55:43brought me here?

00:55:45Preston Vail's

00:55:46rushing this.

00:55:47He's desperate

00:55:47to beat us

00:55:48to the market.

00:55:49And?

00:55:50Their model's flawed.

00:55:51If they keep

00:55:52moving forward

00:55:53without realizing

00:55:53their structural

00:55:54failure and their

00:55:55approach,

00:55:56we won't have

00:55:58to lift a damn

00:55:58finger.

00:55:59And what about

00:55:59when it falls apart?

00:56:01Then Heart Medical

00:56:01takes over

00:56:02as the future

00:56:03of modern surgery.

00:56:05So you're saying

00:56:06that Vail Hospital

00:56:07has been refining

00:56:08the prototype

00:56:08surgical method

00:56:09that you designed?

00:56:10It's the only way

00:56:11they could have

00:56:11gotten this far

00:56:12this fast.

00:56:13They're using

00:56:14an early draft

00:56:15full of mistakes

00:56:16that I won't

00:56:16make again.

00:56:18They don't even

00:56:19realize the cracks

00:56:20in their foundation.

00:56:20That actually

00:56:22makes perfect sense.

00:56:25Which means

00:56:26we've already won.

00:56:28Well, this is

00:56:29a big day for us.

00:56:30We should celebrate.

00:56:31What do you have

00:56:32on mind?

00:56:32Drinks?

00:56:33Not quite.

00:56:35You and I

00:56:35are crashing

00:56:36the Vail launch

00:56:36party tonight.

00:56:38What?

00:56:39Why?

00:56:40Let me worry

00:56:41about that.

00:56:42In the meantime,

00:56:43ensure a smooth

00:56:44rollout,

00:56:44finish whatever

00:56:45procedures you need

00:56:46to,

00:56:47then meet me

00:56:48in the lobby

00:56:48at 8 p.m. sharp.

00:56:50Preston,

00:57:04we've been through

00:57:05so much together.

00:57:07I know where I'm

00:57:08headed in life,

00:57:09and I know

00:57:09who I want

00:57:10by my side.

00:57:12Tonight,

00:57:13at this launch party,

00:57:14celebrating our

00:57:15groundbreaking

00:57:16surgical program,

00:57:18isn't it the perfect

00:57:19moment to ask?

00:57:21Will you marry me?

00:57:29We should be fun.

00:57:31Absolutely.

00:57:33You really know

00:57:33how to take care

00:57:34of your staff,

00:57:35Mr. Vail?

00:57:36Stop it.

00:57:37Too bad you're taken.

00:57:38Yeah, yeah,

00:57:39what a shame.

00:57:40Where the fuck

00:57:41is Fiona?

00:57:42Told her meet me

00:57:42out here so we can

00:57:43go to this party

00:57:44together.

00:57:45Forget about her.

00:57:46She's just social

00:57:47climbing trash

00:57:47anyways.

00:57:48We'll show you

00:57:49a better time.

00:57:53Now that's an offer

00:57:54I can't refuse.

00:57:55Let's go.

00:57:55Fiona who?

00:57:59Oh, you ladies

00:58:01are crazy.

00:58:02Let me get this one.

00:58:06Okay.

00:58:15The number you have

00:58:24dialed is unavailable.

00:58:26Please try again later.

00:58:27I'm sorry.

00:58:42I'm sorry.

00:58:43I'm sorry.

00:58:45It's twenty in one day.

00:58:54All clean.

00:58:55All stable.

00:58:56The experimental

00:58:57procedures are all

00:58:57working, Dr. Marksman.

00:58:59You did it.

00:59:01No.

00:59:02We did.

00:59:05Dr. Marksman,

00:59:07you have to get to

00:59:07Bail's launch party.

00:59:08Pronto.

00:59:09You're already late.

00:59:10I need to change that.

00:59:11You don't have time.

00:59:12Where's Vivian?

00:59:13Taking care of something.

00:59:16She said it's really

00:59:17important that you be there

00:59:18and she'll meet you

00:59:19as soon as she can.

00:59:22Tonight,

00:59:22we celebrate the launch

00:59:23of Bail Hospital's

00:59:24revolutionary surgical program.

00:59:26What the fuck?

00:59:42You're my date

00:59:43and you're wasted.

00:59:45I'm sure you have plenty

00:59:46of other dates

00:59:46to accompany you.

00:59:47Yeah.

00:59:48God knows why I chose you,

00:59:50but I did.

00:59:50So if you want to keep

00:59:51your job

00:59:52and your status,

00:59:53sober up for God's sakes.

00:59:54I'm sorry.

00:59:56Did he just wander in

01:00:14from the janitor's lounge?

01:00:16It's giving orderly sheep.

01:00:21Maybe he's here

01:00:22to bust tables.

01:00:22What are you doing

01:00:25at our launch party?

01:00:26You weren't invited.

01:00:27You so sure about that?

01:00:29I mean, look at you.

01:00:30This is a black tie.

01:00:31I mean, not that I'd expect

01:00:32you to know

01:00:32what that actually is.

01:00:36Look who crawled in

01:00:37from the gutter.

01:00:39The found surgeon.

01:00:41The fraud.

01:00:42The nobody.

01:00:44Show up to my party

01:00:45in dirty scrubs, Marksman?

01:00:47Thought I told the security

01:00:48to keep out the criminals

01:00:49and the lowlives.

01:00:51Guess I need to fire them, too.

01:00:52Pardon me.

01:00:53I just came straight

01:00:54from surgery.

01:00:55Because some of us here

01:00:56are real surgeons.

01:00:57What are you trying to say?

01:00:59I'm saying that

01:01:00the failed surgeon,

01:01:01the fraud,

01:01:02the nobody,

01:01:04isn't me.

01:01:07I can't have him expose me

01:01:09in front of all these people.

01:01:12I've got some nerve

01:01:13talking to my man,

01:01:14Marksman, like that.

01:01:15A genius like him

01:01:16leading our surgical team?

01:01:18You won't be able

01:01:19to get anywhere near

01:01:19our next party.

01:01:20Yeah, because it'll happen

01:01:21in prison

01:01:22when you're all arrested

01:01:23for medical malpractice,

01:01:26criminal negligence,

01:01:27and identity theft.

01:01:30What are you talking about?

01:01:32Identity theft?

01:01:34Whose identity

01:01:35would we possibly

01:01:35be stealing?

01:01:36Yours?

01:01:38Let me give you

01:01:38a little bit of advice,

01:01:39Marksman.

01:01:40If you don't got it,

01:01:42at least act like you do.

01:01:44Speaking from experience.

01:01:47Look around you.

01:01:49This is the elite

01:01:50among the elite.

01:01:51The best of the best

01:01:52in the medical field.

01:01:53Just because you waltz in here

01:01:55and you're dirty,

01:01:55cheap scrubs

01:01:56doesn't make you

01:01:57one of us.

01:01:58Good.

01:01:59I'm glad.

01:02:00Because you're all

01:02:00beneath me.

01:02:02Isn't that right,

01:02:03Dr. Marksman?

01:02:05That's enough.

01:02:06Guards,

01:02:08this former employee

01:02:09is threatening us.

01:02:10Kick him out.

01:03:55Can't think

01:03:55of a diagnosis?

01:03:56Shut up!

01:03:57Why isn't

01:03:58Dr. Marksman

01:03:59doing anything?

01:04:00This is ridiculous!

01:04:01I thought

01:04:01this David guy

01:04:02was a genius!

01:04:04Why are you

01:04:04just standing there?

01:04:05Do something!

01:04:06Uh...

01:04:06What's the matter,

01:04:08David?

01:04:09If you need help,

01:04:10just ask.

01:04:12All you have

01:04:12to do is admit

01:04:13what you did

01:04:13right here,

01:04:15right now.

01:04:16I can't

01:04:17blow my cover

01:04:18butt.

01:04:19What if I

01:04:20kill him?

01:04:21I don't know

01:04:22anything about

01:04:22surgeries.

01:04:24I don't even

01:04:24know what's

01:04:24wrong with

01:04:25them.

01:04:26I did

01:04:26medical school

01:04:27on Zoom.

01:04:28David,

01:04:29this is a matter

01:04:30of life

01:04:31and death.

01:04:32Let it go!

01:04:33I...

01:04:35I...

01:04:37I can't.

01:04:40I can't do

01:04:40this.

01:04:42Okay, I can't...

01:04:43I can't do

01:04:44this.

01:04:45I can't do

01:04:46this without

01:04:47my notebook.

01:04:52That's my

01:04:53surgical notebook.

01:04:54He stole it

01:04:54from me.

01:04:55Okay, okay.

01:05:04I'm gonna need

01:05:05a fork

01:05:06and a glass

01:05:07of water.

01:05:09Okay.

01:05:10Yeah.

01:05:11I gotta...

01:05:12I gotta...

01:05:13Here, take it,

01:05:14take it,

01:05:14take it.

01:05:15Okay.

01:05:16All right,

01:05:16hold his head.

01:05:17Good.

01:05:18Tilt it back

01:05:18and apply pressure

01:05:19here.

01:05:21Okay.

01:05:33Okay.

01:05:36Three.

01:05:37Four.

01:05:39Four.

01:05:39Oh, thank God.

01:05:44How are you doing?

01:05:45Let out.

01:05:47All right,

01:05:48thank God.

01:05:51Oh, that's

01:05:52my guy.

01:05:53Surgical genius.

01:05:55That's how

01:05:56Val makes history.

01:05:57Somebody get

01:05:58this man a medal.

01:05:59Or at least

01:06:00a new department.

01:06:01If you still want

01:06:02that chief medical

01:06:03officer position,

01:06:04say the word.

01:06:06Now, do I have

01:06:07to have somebody

01:06:07escort you out?

01:06:10That maneuver,

01:06:12that notebook.

01:06:13It's mine.

01:06:14Then tell them.

01:06:19Where is he going?

01:06:20Maybe he's headed

01:06:21to develop

01:06:22another fake

01:06:22surgery program

01:06:23at another

01:06:24fake hospital.

01:06:25Leaving so soon,

01:06:26Dr. PJs?

01:06:28Say, hey,

01:06:28why don't you

01:06:29come back

01:06:29when you've

01:06:29actually saved

01:06:30a life?

01:06:35That procedure

01:06:36David used,

01:06:37I invented it.

01:06:39What kind of crack

01:06:40are you smoking?

01:06:41He's delusional.

01:06:43Somebody seriously

01:06:44check this guy's

01:06:45medical license.

01:06:46The notebook

01:06:47he used

01:06:47to save your father.

01:06:49That's mine.

01:06:50My handwriting,

01:06:52my theories.

01:06:53You're just pissed

01:06:55because he did

01:06:56what you couldn't.

01:06:57I'm pissed

01:06:58because you used

01:06:59rudimentary theories

01:07:00as innovation.

01:07:01And when it fails,

01:07:03and it will,

01:07:06you're not the ones

01:07:08that'll pay for it.

01:07:09The patients will.

01:07:10You can't prove that.

01:07:11Not yet.

01:07:12But you can't

01:07:14fake medicine.

01:07:16Medicine and science

01:07:18always tell

01:07:19the truth.

01:07:23Our three's vitals

01:07:24just dropped.

01:07:24We've got uncontrolled

01:07:25bleeding.

01:07:26Second patient today.

01:07:27Same issue.

01:07:28Vessel ligation

01:07:28failed mid-operation.

01:07:30These techniques

01:07:31aren't viable.

01:07:32The veil method

01:07:33doesn't hold

01:07:33under stress.

01:07:35I mean,

01:07:36come on.

01:07:36Tonight proves it.

01:07:38We're ahead of every

01:07:39surgical institute

01:07:39in the country.

01:07:40I'll be right back.

01:07:50Just coordinating

01:07:51with the team.

01:07:54Talk to me.

01:07:56The vascular fundoclap

01:07:57maneuver failed again.

01:07:58This is the second patient

01:07:59bleeding out tonight.

01:08:03Use the compression step.

01:08:05That only works

01:08:05in controlled scenarios.

01:08:07We told you

01:08:08these procedures

01:08:08weren't fully tested.

01:08:10Look,

01:08:11just follow the notes.

01:08:16I designed those

01:08:17techniques for

01:08:17101 guidance.

01:08:19Not mass implementation.

01:08:21Without calibration.

01:08:23It's unstable.

01:08:24It's dangerous.

01:08:25They tried to

01:08:26commercialize your

01:08:27success without you.

01:08:28Now people are

01:08:29paying for it.

01:08:31All good?

01:08:33Of course.

01:08:34Just routine

01:08:35coordination.

01:08:35Routine coordination

01:08:37doesn't usually

01:08:38include blood loss.

01:08:40Your surgical program

01:08:41is failing.

01:08:42And patients are suffering.

01:08:44You've been out of the field

01:08:45for months.

01:08:45You wouldn't know?

01:08:46Yeah, I would know.

01:08:48Because the procedures

01:08:49that you're butchering,

01:08:50I invented.

01:08:51And I'm the only one

01:08:52in this room

01:08:53who can fix the mess

01:08:54that you made

01:08:54in your surgical wing.

01:08:56Oh, shit.

01:08:57Oh, yes.

01:09:03This is Dr. Marksman.

01:09:05Yeah, connect me

01:09:06with the surgical

01:09:06coordinator immediately.

01:09:09Okay, listen very carefully.

01:09:11Your patient in OR3

01:09:13is experiencing

01:09:14a catastrophic hemorrhaging

01:09:15because the vascular

01:09:17bundle clamp technique

01:09:18was improperly executed.

01:09:19No, you need to perform

01:09:21a Marksman-modified

01:09:23Pringle maneuver

01:09:23with selective

01:09:24hepatic arterial legation

01:09:26followed by

01:09:27a rapid-sequence

01:09:28vascular anatomosis

01:09:29using interrupted

01:09:306-0 proline sutures.

01:09:34Yes.

01:09:36Yes.

01:09:39How do we even know

01:09:41he made a phone call?

01:09:42His whole thing

01:09:43is performance,

01:09:44a charade.

01:09:45You stole his methods.

01:09:47This entire launch party

01:09:49is built upon

01:09:50stolen work

01:09:51and guesswork.

01:09:52Uh, that's a lie.

01:09:53Then prove me wrong.

01:09:55Show them all

01:09:56a technique

01:09:56that I didn't create.

01:10:00Why would we believe

01:10:01anything he says?

01:10:03He was fired.

01:10:03He will get it.

01:10:05You're right.

01:10:05I was fired.

01:10:06And the same procedures

01:10:07I pioneered

01:10:08were renamed

01:10:09and sold back to the board

01:10:10as revolutionary.

01:10:12You know what?

01:10:13This is pathetic.

01:10:14He's just jealous.

01:10:15He missed his shot.

01:10:17Is that what

01:10:17you told yourself?

01:10:19When you snuck back

01:10:20into my office

01:10:20and stole my surgical journal?

01:10:22Even if that were true,

01:10:24this isn't the time

01:10:25or the place.

01:10:26I think it's exactly

01:10:28the time and place.

01:10:29I just got off the phone

01:10:41with our surgical coordinator.

01:10:44And thanks to Adrian's guidance,

01:10:46our surgeons were able

01:10:47to stabilize

01:10:48the coding patients.

01:10:50Adrian just cleaned up

01:10:52your mess.

01:10:54You took this good man's

01:10:55techniques that weren't ready

01:10:56and you fired him.

01:10:59The one person

01:11:00who could make them safe.

01:11:03Dad,

01:11:04you don't see

01:11:05the full picture here.

01:11:06Oh, I'm seeing it

01:11:07perfectly well.

01:11:09This hospital

01:11:09was built on trust

01:11:11and integrity

01:11:12and you've disgraced

01:11:13them both.

01:11:14Your father nearly died

01:11:16because of your ego.

01:11:18Because of his lies.

01:11:20You saved me.

01:11:24You saved Nelson.

01:11:25And now,

01:11:26you can save Vale.

01:11:28I tried to warn you all.

01:11:30No one listened.

01:11:31They're listening now.

01:11:33You deserve to be

01:11:35at Vale

01:11:35more than either

01:11:37of those two.

01:11:39And probably

01:11:39even more than me.

01:11:41It was a mistake

01:11:42to let you go.

01:11:44Months ago,

01:11:45I was fired

01:11:45from Vale Hospital

01:11:46with procedures

01:11:47still in development.

01:11:49They weren't ready.

01:11:50They needed supervision.

01:11:53Precision.

01:11:54Development.

01:11:55Instead,

01:11:56someone took my notes

01:11:57and tried to fast-track

01:11:58them for glory.

01:11:59Oh,

01:12:00you can't prove that.

01:12:02Security footage

01:12:03of you stealing

01:12:07Adrian's notebook

01:12:08from the hospital

01:12:09already submitted

01:12:11to the board.

01:12:13I built

01:12:14on what he started.

01:12:16Okay?

01:12:17I didn't steal.

01:12:18I enhanced it.

01:12:20Then why were

01:12:21patients about to die?

01:12:24You falsified

01:12:25rollout readiness?

01:12:26He did more than that.

01:12:28He put lives

01:12:29at risk

01:12:29to prove that

01:12:30he was smarter

01:12:31than the guy

01:12:32that actually created

01:12:33the program.

01:12:34We're going to need

01:12:34to open a formal

01:12:35investigation on this.

01:12:37This is absurd.

01:12:39This was supposed

01:12:40to be our night.

01:12:41Oh,

01:12:41it's your night.

01:12:43It's just not the way

01:12:44you thought it'd be.

01:12:45You lied to me.

01:12:47I didn't lie.

01:12:48I simplified

01:12:49the truth.

01:12:50Simplify?

01:12:51You could have

01:12:52caused serious harm

01:12:53to countless

01:12:54innocent people.

01:12:56You nearly killed

01:12:57the president

01:12:57of the hospital.

01:12:58You passed up

01:12:59experimental procedures

01:13:00as launch ready.

01:13:02That's malpractice.

01:13:03They worked.

01:13:05Nelson's alive.

01:13:06Look,

01:13:06the patients,

01:13:07they're alive.

01:13:08Yeah,

01:13:08because of me.

01:13:09Those methods require

01:13:10sequential tensioning,

01:13:12breath control,

01:13:13special clamp techniques.

01:13:14Getting one beat wrong

01:13:15is the difference

01:13:16between life and death.

01:13:17Wait,

01:13:18these really are

01:13:18your techniques.

01:13:20I tested them

01:13:20for years.

01:13:22It was never meant

01:13:23for mass rollout.

01:13:25Not without training.

01:13:27You're rewriting history?

01:13:28No,

01:13:29you tried to erase

01:13:30him from it.

01:13:31Adrian Marksman

01:13:32was the reason

01:13:33that Vale's program

01:13:34had a future.

01:13:36And without him,

01:13:37it won't.

01:13:38This is absurd!

01:13:40You're siding

01:13:41with this disgraced

01:13:42former resident?

01:13:43He's not disgraced,

01:13:44son.

01:13:45You are.

01:13:47You hijacked

01:13:48a program

01:13:49you didn't understand.

01:13:50And then when

01:13:51your ego

01:13:51wasn't enough,

01:13:53you propped up

01:13:54this fraud.

01:13:57Taking his side,

01:13:58Dad?

01:13:59I'm your son.

01:14:01I'm taking

01:14:01the side of truth.

01:14:03And so will the board.

01:14:05We will be convening

01:14:06an emergency session

01:14:07tomorrow morning.

01:14:08Until then,

01:14:09both of you

01:14:09are suspended

01:14:10from all surgical

01:14:11and administrative duties.

01:14:13Suspended?

01:14:14Oh, no, no,

01:14:14you can't do that.

01:14:15You don't understand

01:14:16the politics

01:14:16of running a hospital.

01:14:18We understand

01:14:18the liability.

01:14:19That's enough.

01:14:22Mr. Preston Vale,

01:14:24Dr. David Marksman,

01:14:26come with us.

01:14:28Dad,

01:14:29you're not going

01:14:29to let them drag me out

01:14:30like this.

01:14:30I'm your son.

01:14:31No, don't you touch me.

01:14:33You're not a child.

01:14:34Hey, Dad!

01:14:35I need the side,

01:14:36Bill Darius!

01:14:36You're not my responsibility.

01:14:51Trim, please.

01:14:52I made a mistake.

01:14:54I see that now.

01:14:55I should have believed in you.

01:14:56I should have stood by you.

01:14:59You were right

01:14:59about everything.

01:15:00Just give me

01:15:04a second chance.

01:15:06Please.

01:15:07I still love you.

01:15:10Love?

01:15:11You traded him

01:15:12the second someone

01:15:13flashier walked by.

01:15:15You don't understand.

01:15:17I thought he was finished.

01:15:19I thought he had nothing left.

01:15:21So you sold him out.

01:15:23Mocked him

01:15:24over and over again.

01:15:26I was scared.

01:15:28I didn't know

01:15:29what to do.

01:15:30Oh, you knew.

01:15:31You just didn't care.

01:15:33Not until you realized

01:15:34that the horse you bet on

01:15:35turned out to be a loser.

01:15:37Please.

01:15:39Say something.

01:15:42Anything.

01:15:43You had your chance,

01:15:44Fiona.

01:15:45And you spent it

01:15:46holding Preston's arm

01:15:47while they tried

01:15:48to bury me alive.

01:15:51I...

01:15:56You always belonged

01:15:58in my operating room.

01:16:00And I should have

01:16:01fought harder

01:16:02to keep you

01:16:02if I'd only known

01:16:04what was going on

01:16:05behind the scenes.

01:16:06The board will vote

01:16:08that Preston

01:16:09is removed

01:16:10from the board.

01:16:11And David

01:16:12will never go near

01:16:13another patient again.

01:16:15We're rebuilding.

01:16:17And I want you back

01:16:18as Vale's chief

01:16:20of experimental surgery.

01:16:24I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.

01:16:26You had your chance, too.

01:16:28I'm not the same man

01:16:30that you fired.

01:16:31Well,

01:16:32all the more reason

01:16:33we need you back at Vale.

01:16:35Adrian 2.0.

01:16:37I'm not coming back.

01:16:40You're choosing her?

01:16:42Our rival?

01:16:44You arrogant little ingrate.

01:16:46I open the door for you

01:16:47and you slam it in my face.

01:16:50Just typical.

01:16:52Just when you had your moment,

01:16:54you turn your back on it

01:16:56for, for what, her?

01:16:58She's just gonna use you up

01:16:59and toss you aside

01:17:00like everyone else.

01:17:02Oh, projecting much, Nelson.

01:17:05Get me out of here.

01:17:07Now!

01:17:08Karma has good timing.

01:17:29Speaking of timing,

01:17:30we should get back to work.

01:17:32We have lives to save.

01:17:33Hey!

01:17:35Not so fast,

01:17:37Mr.

01:17:37Hotshot Genius Surgeon.

01:17:40I still owe you that

01:17:41extra special bonus.

01:17:45Now?

01:17:46We'll just spend a time

01:17:47like the present.

01:17:56This is what victory tastes like.

01:17:58It's not bad.

01:17:59I need a second opinion.

01:18:04Well, I've got all night.

01:18:06And you're not leaving this room

01:18:07until I've properly celebrated

01:18:09my genius surgeon.

01:18:12Should I be afraid

01:18:12of a performance review?

01:18:15You're already

01:18:15exceeding expectations.

01:18:18But I am very thorough.

01:18:20getting fired was the best thing

01:18:28that ever happened to me.

01:18:31Besides meeting you,

01:18:33of course.

01:18:40I'm sorry.

01:18:50I'm sorry.
