00:00:00Taking over as hospital administrator.

00:00:01New management, new standards.

00:00:03Sleeping after a shift?

00:00:05You are fired.

00:00:06I just worked all night.

00:00:07Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.

00:00:09He's the one.

00:00:10Did I fire you too already?

00:00:13Get your hand off my gun.

00:00:16We're done, Adrian.

00:00:17I need someone with a future.

00:00:19Dr. Marksman, would you consider joining Hart Medical Center as our chief of surgery?

00:00:24This isn't about money.

00:00:25Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you?

00:00:30These are his revolutionary procedures.

00:00:32With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.

00:00:35Please!

00:00:36Dad!

00:00:36Why are you just standing there?

00:00:38Do something!

00:00:38If you need help, just ask.

00:00:40All you have to do is admit what you did.

00:00:47A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city,

00:00:50sending a surge of critically injured patients flooding into Vail Hospital's emergency department.

00:00:56The fate of these accident victims now rests in the hands of Vail's surgical team,

00:01:01their last hope for survival in the face of devastating trauma.

00:01:05Facials crashing!

00:01:06We need an attending surgeon now!

00:01:08All the hours are full.

00:01:09We got three more criticals incoming.

00:01:11Sir, the patient in trauma three is coding.

00:01:14I can't leave this one.

00:01:15Where's Dr. Stevens?

00:01:16We need another attending surgeon.

00:01:17Everyone else is in the U.R.

00:01:19Okay.

00:01:25You need a hand?

00:01:37A new hire.

00:01:39You just started this month.

00:01:41Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level one trauma like this!

00:01:45The patient's pressure is dropping.

00:01:46Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman.

00:01:48Patient's yours.

00:01:49Okay, we are going to perform a modified whipple.

00:01:59Whipple?

00:01:59For trauma?

00:02:01That's insane.

00:02:02Trust me.

00:02:04Medicine bomb scissors.

00:02:06Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.

00:02:11That procedure will take hours.

00:02:13The patient won't survive.

00:02:15Bovey Cottery.

00:02:18Watch.

00:02:19He's doing it in half the normal time.

00:02:27The bleeding.

00:02:28It's under control.

00:02:30But how did he...

00:02:32Silk Sutra?

00:02:39Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.

00:02:47I've never seen anything like this.

00:02:49I'm almost done.

00:02:59This patient's going to make a full recovery.

00:03:01Jesus, Adrian.

00:03:10What you just pulled off is impossible.

00:03:13I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but that...

00:03:16That was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed.

00:03:20Where did you learn to operate like that?

00:03:21What you just did will go down in the history books.

00:03:24Wait.

00:03:25I heard President Vail personally recruited a medical prodigy who revolutionized surgical procedures

00:03:31as a mass general.

00:03:31Is that you?

00:03:39Final suture.

00:03:41Miss Vail's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.

00:03:45Doctor.

00:03:46The nurses.

00:03:47They said you did it.

00:03:48And you...

00:03:49You actually did.

00:03:50Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.

00:03:51Every surgeon on the west coast said it was inoperable, that she only had weeks to live.

00:04:06But you...

00:04:08You saved my Catherine.

00:04:11She'll make a full recovery, President Vail.

00:04:13Name your price, whatever it is.

00:04:15We need you at Vail.

00:04:17My hospital.

00:04:20Look, I'll explain later.

00:04:21Right now we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.

00:04:25It's going to take hours.

00:04:27Y'all should go home.

00:04:28Get some rest.

00:04:30I'll take over from here.

00:04:32Okay.

00:04:34Good work, everyone.

00:04:36Bye.

00:04:37Bye.

00:04:38Bye.

00:05:06They're all stable.

00:05:08Every single one of them, stabilized.

00:05:15Oh, sun's coming up.

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

00:05:19You're a machine.

00:05:21Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.

00:05:24All right, it's time for some much needed Shadeye.

00:05:36Hey, you.

00:05:46Hey, yourself.

00:05:49Been operating all night.

00:05:52Seemed every single patient in that pileup.

00:05:55What you did was extraordinary.

00:05:57How do you always know exactly what I needed?

00:06:01Because I know you.

00:06:03Better than anyone.

00:06:06Go there.

00:06:12Your favorite?

00:06:13You remembered.

00:06:15Appreciate it.

00:06:17You know, I've been thinking lately about us.

00:06:21I know it's only been a month, but...

00:06:25It just feels different.

00:06:34It's the third time this week.

00:06:35Hospital food's better than someone else's.

00:06:38Hmm.

00:06:40So who's this marksman guy?

00:06:42His surgical skills are unreal.

00:06:43Sure.

00:06:44I thought he was just another new hire.

00:06:46I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.

00:06:49With talent like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department right now.

00:06:52What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?

00:07:02Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.

00:07:06Who is this guy?

00:07:09Who is this guy?

00:07:11Preston Vale.

00:07:12Preston Vale's son.

00:07:13Harvard MBA.

00:07:14He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife, who just recovered from an experimental pancreatic duodenectomy.

00:07:22I'm sorry.

00:07:23Am I looking at two board-certified surgeons or med school dropouts?

00:07:29Hard to tell based on your behavior.

00:07:31Sir, about last...

00:07:32Save it.

00:07:34Harker.

00:07:36You couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.

00:07:38You're fired.

00:07:41Clear out your office.

00:07:42New management means new standards.

00:07:45It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.

00:07:49Ahem.

00:07:50Attention.

00:07:51Everybody's attention now.

00:07:53If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs, every surgery must be perfect.

00:08:00No complications.

00:08:01No deaths.

00:08:03This second-rate medicine stops right now.

00:08:05Who does he think he is?

00:08:08Dr. House?

00:08:10What is this?

00:08:12Excellence in emergency medicine?

00:08:15Save your ego stroking for your own time.

00:08:19This is a hospital.

00:08:22We need surgeons.

00:08:23Not trophy collectors.

00:08:26That was from my residency direction.

00:08:28Oh, cry me a river.

00:08:30Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients and a little less time collecting gold stars,

00:08:34you'd be a real doctor.

00:08:36You're fired.

00:08:37Excuse me?

00:08:38Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop,

00:08:41just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.

00:08:43Yes, sir.

00:08:45Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?

00:08:48That was good.

00:08:50Let's go.

00:08:55Well, well, well.

00:08:56What do we have here?

00:08:59Sleeping after a shift?

00:09:01Rise and shine, superstar.

00:09:03Did I order a wake-up call?

00:09:10No, you didn't.

00:09:11But here's one anyway.

00:09:13You are fired.

00:09:17Are you serious?

00:09:18You're firing me?

00:09:20Do you need me to draw you a diagram, doctor?

00:09:24Well, no, but there must be some sort of mistake.

00:09:27Fiona, what's his position here?

00:09:28He's a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.

00:09:34What's he make?

00:09:36$700,000.

00:09:37That's standard for a trauma surgeon.

00:09:40$700?

00:09:41Are you insane?

00:09:43You're giving resident money to a first-year who sleeps on the job?

00:09:46This hospital is being scammed.

00:09:48I just worked all night, okay?

00:09:50I'm just taking a nap.

00:09:51Also, now you're expecting overtime pay.

00:09:54I've seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.

00:09:58What were you thinking, hiring this fraud?

00:10:01Are they as dumb as these hack surgeons, or this is some sort of insurance scam?

00:10:05Adrian and I might be sleeping together, but I can't let him drag me down.

00:10:10My career comes first.

00:10:12Boy, bye.

00:10:14There must be some clerical error.

00:10:17His credentials.

00:10:19Other residents make a fraction of that salary.

00:10:22Fiona.

00:10:24Dr. Marksman, you are F-I-R-E-D fired.

00:10:32Clear out your office.

00:10:34Clear out your locker.

00:10:35Get the hell out of my hospital.

00:10:38This is a mistake, okay?

00:10:39You need to check the surgical law.

00:10:41You don't get where that door.

00:10:49I see.

00:10:52Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.

00:10:55You don't understand.

00:10:56He's the one who-

00:10:57Didn't I fire you two already?

00:10:59Beat it.

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

00:11:02Don't make this worse for yourselves.

00:11:05I understand.

00:11:10Hospital politics.

00:11:11I understand.

00:11:24Hospital politics.

00:11:26I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.

00:11:30Meet me in the lobby after your shift.

00:11:33I'll be waiting.

00:11:34I'll be waiting.

00:11:35I'll be waiting.

00:11:36I'll be waiting.

00:11:37I'll be waiting.

00:11:38I'll be waiting.

00:11:42Do you care to explain that little exchange?

00:11:44The board won't like this

00:11:51Four attendings dismissed in one day

00:11:53Patient care will suffer

00:11:54Fear is a weapon, Fiona

00:11:56I intend to wield it

00:11:59Or perhaps you're more concerned

00:12:01With one surgeon in particular

00:12:03Your little scam artist

00:12:05Situationship

00:12:06No, Preston, he means nothing to me

00:12:08Really

00:12:09I have no personal stake in your staffing decision

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

00:12:14Do you want to be with the nobody

00:12:17Collecting unemployment checks

00:12:19Or the man

00:12:20Who signs everyone's paychecks

00:12:23Including yours

00:12:24The man who signs everyone's paychecks

00:12:28Even the most attractive administrators

00:12:31Need to be reminded

00:12:32Who's in charge around here

00:12:42Hey, Dad

00:12:43What's wrong?

00:12:44Your mother's having a rough week of recovery

00:12:46She'll be okay

00:12:47But I need you to take full control of the hospital

00:12:50And, Preston

00:12:51There's something critical you need to know

00:12:53Of course, what is it?

00:12:55That new surgeon

00:12:56Dr. Marksman

00:12:57Whatever happens

00:12:59Make sure you take care of him

00:13:01Dr. Marksman?

00:13:02Dr. Marksman

00:13:03You're fucking fired

00:13:05Get out of my hospital

00:13:06Christ

00:13:08The resident I just fired?

00:13:11Preston?

00:13:11Are you there?

00:13:14Check the staff roster

00:13:15See if we have another marksman working for us here

00:13:18I had to back up the brakes truck to get him here

00:13:23He's a surgeon who saved your mother's life

00:13:26And he's pioneering our experimental surgery program

00:13:29The hospital's reputation rests on his work

00:13:33Ah, yes, I see now

00:13:40There's another surgeon attending with that name

00:13:43Dr. Marksman

00:13:44Pioneer in experimental trauma surgery

00:13:47Two-time Florence Nightingale

00:13:49Medal recipient for medical excellence

00:13:51Three-times Apex award winner for clinical research

00:13:54Is this who you mean, Dad?

00:13:55That's our man

00:13:56There's another surgeon with the same last name

00:13:58Who's been a disaster for us

00:14:00Negligent, lazy

00:14:02You name it

00:14:02Do me a favor

00:14:04Fire him

00:14:05Already done, Dad

00:14:07I fired his slacker ass this morning

00:14:09Thank God

00:14:10Almost thought I fired our star surgeon

00:14:13Good work, son

00:14:15I'll visit when your mother's stronger

00:14:17Just, uh, just take care of Mom, all right?

00:14:21I got everything else under control

00:14:22See?

00:14:30Told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless

00:14:33Now, about your career trajectory

00:14:37Mr. Bale, sir

00:14:39Can't you see I'm busy?

00:14:41Multiple traumas incoming

00:14:42The six-car pileup

00:14:43You fired half our surgery team

00:14:45What's your point?

00:14:46ER is crashing

00:14:47We've no one left who can handle it

00:14:49Give me the situation

00:14:56Now

00:14:57Six critical traumas

00:14:59Three more incoming

00:15:00Multiple crush injuries

00:15:02Arterial bleed, sir

00:15:03We're losing patients

00:15:05What are our options?

00:15:07There might be one solution

00:15:08Well, spit it out

00:15:10Dr. Marksman

00:15:11He handled four critical traumas alone last night

00:15:14If we can get him back here

00:15:15Marksman

00:15:17Right

00:15:17That's the man we need

00:15:18Fiona?

00:15:18Call him

00:15:19Which Dr. Marksman should I?

00:15:22The genius surgeon

00:15:22The one I didn't fire

00:15:24Keep up

00:15:25What the hell?

00:15:31Where'd all this stuff go?

00:15:32Idiot left us research notes

00:15:49Mmm

00:15:51Modified trauma protocol

00:15:53Wait

00:15:55These are his revolutionary procedures

00:15:58Oh, this is brilliant work

00:16:02Hello?

00:16:07Dr. Marksman

00:16:08Multiple critical traumas in the ER

00:16:10Preston Vale says if you can handle this crisis

00:16:13There's a monster promotion waiting

00:16:14I'm on my way

00:16:16With Adrian's techniques

00:16:21I'll look like a genius

00:16:23They'll make me department head

00:16:25And I can finally make seven figures

00:16:28Well?

00:16:35Dr. Marksman's on his way

00:16:37Thank God

00:16:38Now

00:16:48About your loyalty

00:16:50Adrian meant nothing

00:16:52I was using him to advance my career

00:16:55You're my future

00:16:56That's my girl

00:16:58Beyond a shift in an hour ago

00:17:08The boss's son is up to something

00:17:10To hell with this

00:17:13I'm going out

00:17:14Piece of shit

00:17:30Get your hand off my girl

00:17:35Oh, just knock it off

00:17:38Adrian

00:17:39You mean to tell me

00:17:40That the brilliant surgeon

00:17:41Can't see what's been happening

00:17:42Under his own nose

00:17:44You mean to tell me

00:17:45That you've been messing around

00:17:46With this incompetent Nepo baby

00:17:48I can choose who I want

00:17:49And I don't want a disgrace surgeon

00:17:51With no future

00:17:52You pathetic loser

00:17:53We're done, Adrian

00:18:11Ancient history

00:18:12Are you serious?

00:18:15Just like that

00:18:16Sorry that this bum

00:18:18Wrinkled your jacket, sir

00:18:20Why are you doing this, Fiona?

00:18:24Am I just a stepping stone to you?

00:18:26I need someone with a future

00:18:27Not someone who sleeps

00:18:29While patients are dying

00:18:31Keep it for when you get lonely and horny

00:18:37It's the closest you'll ever come

00:18:39To the real thing again

00:18:40Oh, look at us, Adrian

00:18:46I'm the future of Vail Hospital

00:18:49And you?

00:18:52Just a slacker

00:18:53And scrubs

00:18:54You're washed up, marksman

00:18:57Perhaps try nursing

00:18:58I hear they're always hiring

00:19:00Fiona, I met you here

00:19:03And it made me want to stay

00:19:04I thought we could build a family together

00:19:07Get over yourself

00:19:10You think I'm gonna stay with someone

00:19:12Who lied about their credentials?

00:19:14President Vail would never have hired someone

00:19:17Who sleeps during shifts

00:19:19We're done

00:19:21I'm not done

00:19:23But when I am

00:19:25There won't be a Vail Hospital left standing

00:19:28You can count on that

00:19:31No, no, no

00:19:34Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian

00:19:36Your troubles are just getting started

00:19:38Who authorized you to be here?

00:19:44Mr. Vail, I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision

00:19:47We've stabilized all the patients from the multi-car accident

00:19:51And the situation is completely under control

00:19:53You're Dr. Marksman

00:19:55Ah, yes, the very same

00:19:57My father mentioned your exceptional credentials

00:20:01Harvard Medical, was it?

00:20:04These morons have no idea I'm taking credit for Adrian's revolutionary techniques

00:20:09As long as the boss's son is impressed

00:20:11I'll be chief of surgery by next month

00:20:13Mr. Vail, I've identified who's responsible for all the issues in OR3 today

00:20:18He was sleeping

00:20:21While a patient almost died on the table

00:20:23Clear-cut medical malfeasance

00:20:25Dr. Hart

00:20:34Incredible news

00:20:36Dr. Adrian Marksman, that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking

00:20:41He's just been terminated from Vail Hospital

00:20:43When?

00:20:46Less than an hour ago

00:20:47Dismissed by President Vail's son

00:20:49Huh?

00:20:52Amazing

00:20:53I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face when he discovers that his price surgeon

00:20:58Was fired by his submental son

00:21:01With, uh, respect

00:21:03We're still establishing our reputation

00:21:05Would someone of Marksman's caliber even consider joining us?

00:21:10I'll offer him whatever it takes

00:21:11Full department autonomy

00:21:14Research funding

00:21:16State-of-the-art facilities

00:21:18And if necessary

00:21:20My personal involvement

00:21:23His techniques could revolutionize surgical care

00:21:27Have my car brought round

00:21:29I'm going to Vail Hospital personally

00:21:32An atrium Marksman

00:21:34He's leaving with me

00:21:36Now, Feesitz

00:21:43What kind of delusional accusation is that?

00:21:46Now, don't insult our intelligence

00:21:47A patient coded while you were off taking a nap

00:21:50The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental

00:21:52Yet you stand there denying it

00:21:54This is crazy

00:21:55You've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon

00:21:58And when a complication occurs

00:21:59Which happened in this hospital

00:22:01Under your incompetent leadership

00:22:03You

00:22:05Blame me

00:22:07The collective medical knowledge in this room

00:22:09Isn't enough to fill a prescription pad

00:22:11If you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be

00:22:15You would still have a job

00:22:17I'm not going to stand here and debate medicine

00:22:20With you in front of Mr. Vail

00:22:21Security, please detain him

00:22:23What exactly are you accusing me of?

00:22:32Either confess to medical malfeasance

00:22:34Or

00:22:35They'll escort you to the police

00:22:37For criminal negligence

00:22:38Adrian

00:22:39I never realized you were capable of endangering patients

00:22:43What other medical atrocities have you committed?

00:22:46You better confess now

00:22:47Or we'll do everything in our power

00:22:48To make sure you lose your medical license

00:22:50Fine

00:22:53Go ahead

00:22:54Do your worst

00:22:55Let's see if a single piece of evidence holds up in front of the medical board

00:22:59You really underestimate my family's influence, don't you?

00:23:06Don't you realize that Mr. Vail here can end your entire career with one phone call?

00:23:11Sir, I strongly recommend that we make an example out of him

00:23:14After all, he'll be a danger to his patients wherever he goes

00:23:17Preston, you can't let him walk away after this

00:23:20Not after what he did to our patients

00:23:22I'm contacting the medical board right now

00:23:26As of this moment, Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted from Vail Hospital

00:23:31And every medical institute in the country

00:23:33Plans in motion, Adrian

00:23:35Do you know what that means?

00:23:37It means that you will never practice medicine in this country again

00:23:41I have one question before I go

00:23:45Does your father know you fired me?

00:23:49My father's the one who asked me to fire you, you dipshit

00:23:52You thought you were some brilliant surgical god, didn't you?

00:23:58Security, remove this criminal from hospital property immediately

00:24:01Immediately

00:24:02Yes, doctor

00:24:04Right away, sir

00:24:07That's quite enough

00:24:09Let him go

00:24:22Dr. Marksman is about to accept the position

00:24:26As Chief of Surgical Innovation

00:24:28At Hart Medical Center

00:24:30I know you

00:24:33You're Vivian Hart

00:24:35The surgical upstart from that medical clinic across town

00:24:38That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you

00:24:41Mr. Vail

00:24:42Vivian?

00:24:44I haven't seen you since the John Hopkins Symposium

00:24:46Like four or five years ago

00:24:47What are you doing here?

00:24:49Well, I'm here for the most innovative surgeon in the country, of course

00:24:52Wait

00:24:55Are you seriously suggesting this negligent doctor has value?

00:24:59He was sleeping during rounds

00:25:01Is this how Vail Hospital discards its exceptional talent?

00:25:04Your father built this institution's reputation of medical excellence, not petty politics

00:25:12Dr. Hart, with all due respect

00:25:16This is a conversation between medical directors

00:25:18Someone in your position should recognize when to maintain silence

00:25:21Dr. Hart, I must inform you that Dr. Marksman represents a serious liability

00:25:27He compromised the patient's safety and

00:25:30I don't believe I requested your medical opinion, Dr.

00:25:33Marksman

00:25:33David Marksman

00:25:35I have neither time nor interest in your assessment

00:25:38After he decided to go to sleep, we had a critical surgical complication

00:25:45His negligence led to the problem

00:25:47His actions not only endangered patients, it compromised my hospital's reputation

00:25:52Are you really willing to defend someone who violates the Hippocratic Oath?

00:25:58Did you actually consult with your father before dismissing Dr. Marksman?

00:26:03Of course I consulted my father

00:26:05He's the one who specifically mentioned his dangerous surgical shortcuts and inflated reputation

00:26:12Dangerous shortcuts?

00:26:13Is that what President Vail really said?

00:26:17His exact words were, remove him at first opportunity

00:26:20President Vail was the one that recruited me, this makes absolutely no sense

00:26:24Please, Adrian, the President wouldn't personally recruit a mid-level surgeon like you

00:26:29Those gala invitations were professional courtesy, not genuine respect

00:26:35Well, if that's the way things work at Vail, I have nothing more to contribute

00:26:38To any of you

00:26:39Dr. Marksman, would you consider joining Hart Medical Center as our Chief of Surgery?

00:26:47Well, I've

00:26:48Full department autonomy

00:26:49Protected research time

00:26:51A surgical fellowship in your name

00:26:54And a seven-figure salary package

00:26:57Only one personально

00:26:59Well, I can personally replace him

00:27:01When you start looking at Uncle Marksman, would you make some care for the situation?

00:27:06No

00:27:08Not me

00:27:09No

00:27:14Yes

00:27:16No

00:27:18He origami

00:27:20And Cash, Dr. Marksman, I want you to revolutionize our surgery program.

00:27:34Hopefully this shows you.

00:27:36I mean what I say.

00:27:37Chief of Surgery?

00:27:47You're offering all this to a surgeon who can't even keep his eyes open on the job?

00:27:52Dr. Hart, have you completely lost your medical judgment or are you on drugs?

00:27:57This is absurd.

00:27:59He was a mediocre surgeon here at Vail.

00:28:01And now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department?

00:28:05The medical board should review your hiring practices.

00:28:12Vivian, I appreciate your confidence.

00:28:16This isn't about money.

00:28:18Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you.

00:28:24She's offering herself up to him.

00:28:25She can't do that.

00:28:27Are you a doctor or a call girl?

00:28:30At Hart Medical Center, you will be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves.

00:28:35Including, a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value.

00:28:41And I do mean anything, Dr. Marksman.

00:28:45Dr. Hart.

00:28:46For the sake of your own reputation, you need to know that this hack you're so eagerly pursuing has a documented history of negligence.

00:28:55My father confirmed it himself.

00:28:57Is that precisely what Nelson Vail told you?

00:29:00His exact words.

00:29:03Negligence, Serge?

00:29:04What are those?

00:29:08Personal gifts from your father?

00:29:12My fellowship offer?

00:29:15My personal research lab?

00:29:17My surgical team?

00:29:18I'm leaving it all behind.

00:29:20You can tell President Vail that as of this moment, Dr. Marksman has permanently withdrawn from Vail Hospital and all of its affiliated institutions.

00:29:32You know what?

00:29:32Spare us the theatrics, Adrian.

00:29:34You never deserved those privileges in the first place.

00:29:37The medical board is going to see that justice is done.

00:29:40Oh, your stupidity, it's just astonishing.

00:29:46You treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels.

00:29:50This man is a life-saving artist.

00:29:57Dr. Hart, I understand there's some competition between your center and Vail Hospital.

00:30:02Yeah, look, I'll be real.

00:30:04We're struggling to get out from under their shadow.

00:30:06Look, I'd be happy to help you out with that.

00:30:08Take me on, and I'll transform Hart into the number one surgical institution in the country.

00:30:15Look at yourself, Adrian.

00:30:17Offering your skills to a struggling clinic.

00:30:20How pathetically desperate.

00:30:22Oh, a backstabbing bottom feeder like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his caliber.

00:30:29How dare you talk to me like that!

00:30:32Your malpractice has caused catastrophic damage to my hospital's reputation.

00:30:37As the responsible party, I demand that you issue a formal apology to one of the major medical journals.

00:30:44And with an explanation to every affected Vail Hospital patient.

00:30:50Refuse me, and I will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently.

00:30:55That accusation isn't just basis.

00:30:57It's absurd.

00:30:59What exactly do you think you're going to do about it?

00:31:01You've got no choice but to sign this confession.

00:31:04Oh, stop threatening my chief surgeon.

00:31:06If you insist on pursuing this vendetta, have your attorney send a formal complaint to Hart Medical Center.

00:31:12We'll consider it nothing less than a declaration of total war.

00:31:17If it's war you want, I will obliterate your dime store clinic with everything that I've got.

00:31:23Let's go.

00:31:26One more second and this cesspool is going to make me physically ill.

00:31:38Mr. Vail, don't you waste another precious moment on those secondary practitioners.

00:31:44David, you've proven your loyalty.

00:31:46The chief of surgery position is yours, effective immediately.

00:31:51This is extraordinary.

00:31:55I am honored beyond words.

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

00:32:02Don't worry, babe.

00:32:04You will be thoroughly compensated for your loyalty.

00:32:08How exciting.

00:32:11Mr. Vail, I swear on my medical oath that I will not disappoint you.

00:32:17Mr. Vail, a commuter train derailed.

00:32:19Six critical patients incoming.

00:32:21Dr. Marksman, OR1 now.

00:32:23Now's your time to shine, Dr. Marksman.

00:32:25Shit.

00:32:26I'm screwed.

00:32:26Adrian's surgical journal with all his proprietary techniques is still in my office.

00:32:31If Preston finds out, I stole it and then couldn't even use it properly.

00:32:35I implemented a groundbreaking surgical protocol that I invented myself.

00:32:41These techniques are revolutionary.

00:32:43I'll walk you through it in detail after the emergency.

00:32:47It's impressive, Dr. Marksman.

00:32:48You've obviously got your own methodology.

00:32:51No need to bore me with the specifics.

00:32:53I trust your brilliance.

00:32:54Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.

00:32:56With you leading my surgical team, I can focus on what really matters.

00:33:00Hospital expansion.

00:33:03Again, sir, I'm deeply honored.

00:33:05Behold, Vail Hospital's new chief of surgery.

00:33:15Let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now.

00:33:18Glad you're feeling better, honey.

00:33:24Yeah.

00:33:25Well, sorry.

00:33:27Who's this?

00:33:31Nelson Vail speaking.

00:33:32President Vail.

00:33:34Dr. Vivian Hart here.

00:33:35I am calling to let you know that as of this morning, Hart Medical Center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena.

00:33:43Revolutionary surgical procedures are Vail Hospital's domain.

00:33:47Are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight?

00:33:50This is merely a professional courtesy call, not an invitation for debate.

00:33:55Now, just...

00:33:57What is that conniving bitch plotting?

00:34:04She knows Adrienne is our surgical secret weapon.

00:34:08Why would she deliberately provoke a medical war she has absolutely no chance of winning?

00:34:17Unless...

00:34:18Dad, we've got multiple traumas coming in.

00:34:25Just tell me you didn't fire Dr. Marksman.

00:34:28Dad, relax.

00:34:30I fired the other one.

00:34:31That incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned.

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

00:34:42Because I masterfully led Vivian Hart into a false sense of reality.

00:34:46There's no way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures.

00:34:51I convinced Vivian that she's acquired surgical brilliance.

00:34:55But in reality, she's hired our disgraced, discarded loser.

00:34:59So you deliberately manipulated Vivian?

00:35:02She thinks she's hired the genius behind Vail Hospital's groundbreaking procedures.

00:35:07That's why she had the audacity to declare war on you.

00:35:09Impressive, son.

00:35:11You're finally showing some of the leadership qualities.

00:35:14I've been waiting to see out of you.

00:35:16I think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division.

00:35:22Dad, this is everything I've worked for. Thank you.

00:35:26We'll get to work immediately.

00:35:28We're going to expose Hart Medical Center for the low-grade institution it truly is.

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

00:35:39I won't let you down.

00:35:42Darling, surgical innovation is the future of Vail.

00:35:46Preston only got his MBA last year.

00:35:48Do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program?

00:35:52I would never take a risk like this if Preston was our only asset.

00:35:58Remember, we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon.

00:36:03You mean the surgeon that saved my life?

00:36:05Dr. Adrian Marksman.

00:36:07Exactly.

00:36:08And all I need to do is stay hands-off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents.

00:36:17As long as Adrian is with Vail Hospital, Hart Medical Center has no chance of competing.

00:36:25Not only that, Vivian fell for Preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster, Dr. David Marksman.

00:36:34All we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble.

00:36:41So, now that you've seen the surgical department, what do you think?

00:36:53It's not bad.

00:36:55It's a small team, but they're talented.

00:36:57What you've built here, it's impressive, Viv.

00:37:03It's good to see you again after all these years, Adrian.

00:37:06You too.

00:37:07We need to expand.

00:37:10It's too small for what I'm planning.

00:37:13Also, I heard you weren't the only surgeon Preston Vail fired.

00:37:22We have all the angles figured out, don't you?

00:37:25And I always find the best one.

00:37:35I'm going to start recruiting.

00:37:37Good.

00:37:40The faster we rise, the more rewarding this partnership becomes.

00:37:57This better be good.

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

00:38:03My father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department.

00:38:12Given your new position as chief of surgery, I'm appointing you head of innovation.

00:38:17Mr. Vail, I, uh...

00:38:19Is there an issue with that?

00:38:21No, absolutely not.

00:38:23The budget for innovation is astronomical, and President Vail has already handed control to his son?

00:38:29If I oversee these procedures, I could divert significant resources to my personal research.

00:38:36Mr. Vail, you can trust me completely.

00:38:39I am precisely the right man for the job.

00:38:41Preston, we have a catastrophe on our hands.

00:38:46Two attending surgeons just submitted their resignations simultaneously.

00:38:49The department can't possibly maintain its caseload.

00:38:51What?

00:38:52They both resigned at once?

00:38:53What was their explanation?

00:38:54They refused to disclose their reasons.

00:38:56But there's talk they were recruited by a former Vail physician, along with the three other surgeons you fired before.

00:39:01Former physician Adrian Marksman.

00:39:03This has his saboteur signature all over it.

00:39:06Preston, what's our contingency plan?

00:39:08The surgical department is severely understaffed.

00:39:11If any more surgeons leave, patients will suffer.

00:39:13Okay, everybody needs to remain calm.

00:39:17You still have me.

00:39:19I can rebuild this department.

00:39:21Ah, yes.

00:39:23With your stellar reputation, we should be able to get the best of the best.

00:39:26Exactly.

00:39:27So we lost some second-rate talent.

00:39:30Let him go.

00:39:32I'll make some calls to Cedars-Sinai and UCLA.

00:39:37Good work, Marksman.

00:39:42This is working out perfectly.

00:39:44Now I can install my own allies in key positions.

00:39:47Soon, I'll control the entire hospital's medical direction.

00:39:51It's an hour to meet you, Dr. Hart.

00:40:19This is Dr. Parker here.

00:40:21He's a triple board certified surgeon.

00:40:23And soon, he'll be the head of trauma surgery.

00:40:26This is Dr. Rose, Chen, Rose, and Thomas.

00:40:30All consummate professionals.

00:40:32My most trusted colleagues back at Vail.

00:40:37With this surgical team,

00:40:40Hart Medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country.

00:40:44Actually, the whole world.

00:40:46We're eager to begin, Dr. Hart.

00:40:48Well, welcome to Hart Medical Center.

00:40:52I am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us, but I do need to be transparent.

00:40:59We have got considerable ground to cover before we can truly challenge Vail Hospital's dominance.

00:41:04Have no fear, Dr. Hart.

00:41:06With Adrian leading our team, we'll be three steps ahead of anything Vail attempts.

00:41:11Yes, but Vail has already implemented Adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols.

00:41:16Yeah, about that.

00:41:19It's a preliminary version.

00:41:20If they continue to develop this approach without modification...

00:41:23Then what?

00:41:24A lot of deaths.

00:41:26A lot of lawsuits.

00:41:27A lot of patients could be harmed.

00:41:29Or worse.

00:41:30These procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement.

00:41:34Those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training.

00:41:39Without that foundation...

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

00:41:44Preventable harm.

00:41:45Our first priority has to be patient safety.

00:41:48We need to perfect these procedures.

00:41:50And then we can find a way to prevent Vail from continuing with the flawed protocols.

00:41:55Exactly.

00:41:55It's not about competition or pride.

00:41:58It's about saving lives.

00:41:59We're using our experience with the trial procedures I did at Vail to develop next-generation surgical techniques eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies.

00:42:13Even if Vail Hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new, we'll maintain our significant advantage.

00:42:22And if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols, rest assured, their outcomes will deteriorate.

00:42:28I don't wish it upon their patients, that's for sure.

00:42:32Remember this moment.

00:42:33In this battle for medical supremacy, Heart Medical Center will emerge victorious.

00:42:45It's 3 a.m.

00:42:47Lost track of time again.

00:42:54Viv, you surprised me.

00:42:58Looks like you could use a nice rub.

00:43:01Do you mind?

00:43:03No.

00:43:05I mean, yeah.

00:43:07Will you give all your surgeons massages?

00:43:11Only the ones I really, really liked.

00:43:18You really, really like me?

00:43:21Adrienne, I've really, really liked you since residency.

00:43:25Nothing's changed.

00:43:25You were our most brilliant resident in the program.

00:43:30I never imagined someone like you would like me.

00:43:32There was never anyone else that got my attention.

00:43:36Only you.

00:43:39But you were completely oblivious.

00:43:41And then you just vanished from the program.

00:43:45Well, I left to join the Experimental Surgical Fellowship in Switzerland.

00:43:49I know.

00:43:52Your talent was extraordinary even then.

00:43:54Back then, I made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday.

00:43:59You know, when I established Heart Medical Center, my first priority was recruiting you.

00:44:06But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Vale, had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives.

00:44:14I understand now.

00:44:16So, should we pick up where we left off in residency?

00:44:29We're the boss.

00:44:31That's right.

00:44:32And as your boss, I say, come home with me.

00:44:37Tonight?

00:44:37You lost everything when Preston fired you.

00:44:41Hospital privileges.

00:44:43Research funding.

00:44:46Even your hospital-subsidized apartment.

00:44:50You have literally nowhere else to go tonight.

00:44:54Come with me.

00:44:57Where?

00:44:59My place.

00:45:00All right.

00:45:09I'll admit it.

00:45:11That was the best meal I've had in months.

00:45:13Careful, Dr. Marksman.

00:45:15I might start thinking you're easy to please.

00:45:18That just depends on the company.

00:45:20Well, starting tonight, this is your new home.

00:45:25Until the program's fully established, it just makes sense.

00:45:28Are you sure about that?

00:45:30We already work late hours.

00:45:33Living together could get complicated.

00:45:37Well, I like complicated.

00:45:39Keeps things interesting.

00:45:42And where exactly will I be sleeping?

00:45:45Well, my master suite has a California king.

00:45:56Plenty of room.

00:45:58If things ever need to get more collaborative.

00:46:04Really?

00:46:06Relax.

00:46:07I'm only teasing.

00:46:10Tonight, at least.

00:46:12Come on.

00:46:15I'll show you your room.

00:46:19Unless you'd rather have a nightcap.

00:46:22And mine.

00:46:22Things could get dangerous.

00:46:35Is this pathetic attempt really the best that you can do?

00:46:37You are completely worthless as surgeons.

00:46:44Dr. Marksman.

00:46:46The experimental procedures we're trying to replicate here are extraordinarily intricate.

00:46:50We need at least six months to properly master.

00:46:54Six months?

00:46:55You have 72 hours.

00:46:57And I expect hourly updates on my desk.

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

00:47:06complications.

00:47:06Three days.

00:47:07Then you don't get one hour more.

00:47:10Go.

00:47:11Go.

00:47:15Report, Dr. Marksman.

00:47:17What's our status?

00:47:18Excellent progress, Mr. Vale.

00:47:19We will be advancing to phase two implementation within three days.

00:47:24That's exactly what I wanted to hear.

00:47:26I knew my judgment in appointing you was flawless.

00:47:34Preston, I need an update on the experimental surgery program.

00:47:38Everything's proceeding perfectly, Father.

00:47:40Outstanding.

00:47:41When this is done, I'll throw you a huge party to celebrate the launch.

00:47:45Your father must be so proud of you.

00:47:48Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.

00:47:50I'll make sure my father understands your invaluable contribution.

00:47:54This is my shot.

00:47:55Why settle for chief of surgery?

00:47:57With the right maneuvering, I could become the next chief medical officer of Vail Hospital.

00:48:02Mr. Vail, my purpose is to execute the visionary medical strategies of brilliant administrators

00:48:09such as yourself.

00:48:11I believe that in the position of chief medical officer, I could implement your ideas more effectively

00:48:17throughout the entire hospital.

00:48:18If these procedures prove successful, I will personally discuss your advancement with the board.

00:48:23Truly, that's...

00:48:25I am profoundly grateful, sir.

00:48:29You're finally awake.

00:48:53You can keep appreciating the view while you eat.

00:48:55All right.

00:48:57Ooh, breakfast.

00:48:59Looks good.

00:49:03When you're finished eating, we'll head directly to the surgical wing.

00:49:07Sound good?

00:49:08Yes.

00:49:09Absolutely.

00:49:10Good.

00:49:11Get it up and running, and there may be a special bonus waiting for you.

00:49:20Extra special.

00:49:29Okay, team.

00:49:31We're approaching a critical phase of our program development.

00:49:33We have groundbreaking procedures that we need to perfect in very little time, so let's get

00:49:39to it.

00:49:40Let's start revolutionizing medicine.

00:49:42I have excellent news for all of you.

00:49:44I've just finalized arrangements with the board, and upon successful implementation of

00:49:49our surgical innovations, each of you will receive a fully funded medical mission trip anywhere in the

00:49:56world that you choose to share your expertise.

00:49:58And when the time comes that our procedures receive national certification, every surgeon on this team

00:50:06will be gifted a percentage of the royalties from any techniques we patent.

00:50:12At Hart Medical Center, our surgeons are the lifeblood of our institution, and you will be compensated accordingly.

00:50:23Dr. Hart, we are fully committed to making this surgical program a success.

00:50:28Absolutely.

00:50:28You'll be seeing progress ASAP.

00:50:31Vail Hospital won't know what hit him.

00:50:33With Adrian leading us, victory is guaranteed.

00:50:35Heart is best.

00:50:37Heart is best.

00:50:38Heart is best.

00:50:39Heart is best.

00:50:40Heart is best.

00:50:41Heart is best.

00:50:42We're running wild hearts on fire.

00:50:46Whoa.

00:50:49We're chasing dreams and climbing higher.

00:50:53Whoa.

00:50:55Channel is flat.

00:50:57Rainy to stay.

00:50:58Channel is flat.

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

00:51:01You always this disciplined?

00:51:15Or are you just trying to impress me?

00:51:18If I was trying to impress you, you even know.

00:51:21Midnight meetings.

00:51:24Long hours.

00:51:25This work ethic of yours.

00:51:29It's a little dangerous.

00:51:31Okay.

00:51:34That's what Val used to say about me.

00:51:37Then they fired me.

00:51:41Then they were fools.

00:51:42You've earned more than just respect here, Adrian.

00:51:48You know that, right?

00:51:54You trying to motivate me again?

00:51:56I don't try.

00:52:01I do.

00:52:04Well, don't work too late.

00:52:06You're no good to me, Burntout.

00:52:20The incompetence is staggering.

00:52:25Yeah, you two are in way over your heads.

00:52:29Do you really think that this is acceptable?

00:52:32I give you one simple task and you screw it up.

00:52:34How the hell did either of you even finish residency?

00:52:39Vail General Hospital is the gold standard.

00:52:43And you two are just standing around like clueless little interns.

00:52:46If these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow, you're both gone.

00:52:50Is that clear?

00:52:52Yes, sir.

00:52:53This is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team?

00:52:58Go.

00:52:59Go.

00:52:59Oh, Mr. Vail.

00:53:06What a, what a, what a surprise.

00:53:08Cut the bullshit, Marksman.

00:53:11We on schedule or not?

00:53:12Of course.

00:53:14We're, we're just refining the final stages.

00:53:18Yeah, everything is under control.

00:53:20Good.

00:53:22There's a problem.

00:53:22I expect to hear it from you.

00:53:23No cover-ups.

00:53:24Of course, sir.

00:53:28Mr. Vail.

00:53:29Not now.

00:53:30Go get me the latest performance reports.

00:53:35It, uh, looks like Preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here.

00:53:42Don't worry.

00:53:43When Preston makes me chief medical officer, I'm gonna need someone flexible in my corner.

00:53:50I respect the winning team, Dr. Marksman.

00:53:52Today, Vail Hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next-generation surgical program.

00:54:05This cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry,

00:54:11especially as Heart Medical's competing program was released on the same day.

00:54:16The question now is, who will define the future of surgery?

00:54:20Relax, Mr. Vail.

00:54:21So, Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance.

00:54:25I hope you're right.

00:54:28For your sake.

00:54:31Didn't you say that, uh, if the rollout went well, that you'd make me chief medical officer?

00:54:37It's not a success.

00:54:39Yet.

00:54:42Enjoy tonight's launch party.

00:54:43Because if our results don't outshine Heart Medical, it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long time.

00:54:49Dr. Hurt, we, um, have a problem.

00:55:05Vail Hospital's new surgical program launches today.

00:55:08That's soon?

00:55:09They're hosting a big celebration party tonight.

00:55:12It's a good thing we're ahead of...

00:55:16You're saying we're ready?

00:55:20Why would I lie?

00:55:21We've been tracking Vail's every move.

00:55:24Let him celebrate.

00:55:25It's just gonna backfire.

00:55:27How exactly does that work in our favor?

00:55:29Vail, do you remember what I told you when you first brought me here?

00:55:35Preston Vail's rushing this.

00:55:37He's desperate to beat us to the market.

00:55:39And?

00:55:40Their model's flawed.

00:55:41If they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure and their approach,

00:55:45we won't have to lift a damn finger.

00:55:49And what about when it falls apart?

00:55:51Then Heart Medical takes over as the future of modern surgery.

00:55:53So you're saying that Vail Hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that

00:55:59you designed?

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

00:56:03They're using an early draft full of mistakes that I won't make again.

00:56:08They don't even realize the cracks in their foundation.

00:56:11That actually makes perfect sense.

00:56:15Which means we've already won.

00:56:18Well, this is a big day for us.

00:56:20We should celebrate.

00:56:21What do you have in mind?

00:56:22Drinks?

00:56:23Not quite.

00:56:25You and I are crashing the Vail launch party tonight.

00:56:28What?

00:56:29Why?

00:56:30Let me worry about that.

00:56:32In the meantime, ensure a smooth rollout.

00:56:34Finish whatever procedures you need to.

00:56:37Then meet me in the lobby at 8 p.m. sharp.

00:56:53Preston, we've been through so much together.

00:56:56I know where I'm headed in life and I know who I want by my side.

00:57:02Tonight, at this launch party, celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program.

00:57:07It's like the perfect moment to ask, will you marry me?

00:57:12You should be fun.

00:57:20Absolutely.

00:57:22You really know how to take care of your staff, Mr. Vail?

00:57:25Oh, stop it.

00:57:27Too bad you're taken.

00:57:28Yeah, yeah, what a shame.

00:57:30Where the fuck is Fiona?

00:57:32Told her meet me out here so we can go to this party together.

00:57:34Forget about her.

00:57:36She's just social climbing trash anyways.

00:57:38We'll show you a better time.

00:57:43Now that's an offer I can't refuse.

00:57:45Let's go.

00:57:45Fiona who?

00:57:50Oh, you ladies are crazy.

00:57:52Let me get this to her.

00:58:08The number you have dialed is unavailable.

00:58:16Please try again later.

00:58:29Oh, shit.

00:58:32Oh, shit.

00:58:33Oh, shit.

00:58:38It's twenty in one day.

00:58:44All clean.

00:58:45All stable.

00:58:46Experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.

00:58:49You did it.

00:58:51No.

00:58:52We did it.

00:58:55Dr. Marksman, you have to get to Vail's launch party.

00:58:58Pronto.

00:58:59You're already late.

00:59:00I need to change that.

00:59:01You don't have time.

00:59:02Where's Vivian?

00:59:03Taking care of something.

00:59:06She said it's really important that you be there and she'll meet you as soon as she can.

00:59:12Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vail Hospital's revolutionary surgical program.

00:59:16What the fuck?

00:59:32You're my date and you're wasted.

00:59:35I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.

00:59:37Yeah.

00:59:38God knows why I chose you, but I did.

00:59:40So if you want to keep your job and your status, sober up for God's sakes.

00:59:46Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?

01:00:06It's giving orderly sheep.

01:00:11Maybe he's here to bust tables.

01:00:12What are you doing at our launch party?

01:00:16You weren't invited.

01:00:17You so sure about that?

01:00:19I mean, look at you.

01:00:20This is a black tie.

01:00:21I mean, not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is.

01:00:26Look who crawled in from the gutter.

01:00:29The found surgeon.

01:00:31The fraud.

01:00:32The nobody.

01:00:34Show up to my party in dirty scrubs, Marksman?

01:00:37I thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the lowlives.

01:00:40Guess I need to fire them too.

01:00:42Pardon me.

01:00:43I just came straight from surgery.

01:00:45Because some of us here are real surgeons.

01:00:47What are you trying to say?

01:00:49I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody, isn't me.

01:00:55I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.

01:01:02I've got some nerve talking to my man Marksman like that.

01:01:05A genius like him leading our surgical team?

01:01:08You won't be able to get anywhere near our next party.

01:01:10Yeah, because it'll happen in prison.

01:01:12When you're all arrested for medical malpractice, criminal negligence, and identity theft.

01:01:20What are you talking about?

01:01:21Identity theft?

01:01:24Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?

01:01:26Yours?

01:01:28Let me give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.

01:01:30If you don't got it, at least act like you do.

01:01:34Speaking from experience.

01:01:37Look around you.

01:01:39This is the elite among the elite.

01:01:41The best of the best in the medical field.

01:01:43Just because you waltz in here and you're dirty, cheap scrubs, doesn't make you one of us.

01:01:48Good.

01:01:49I'm glad.

01:01:50Because you're all beneath me.

01:01:52Isn't that right, Dr. Marksman?

01:01:55That's enough.

01:01:56Guards!

01:01:58This former employee's threatening us.

01:02:00Kick him out!

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

01:02:05I'm here tonight with a very important guest.

01:02:09What are you dumbasses doing?

01:02:11Grab him!

01:02:21What the hell is this?

01:02:30Dad.

01:02:31Relax.

01:02:31I, uh...

01:02:32Relax?

01:02:34This twat came in uninvited.

01:02:36I was just kicking him out.

01:02:37Guards!

01:02:37Remove him immediately.

01:02:38President Vail, it truly is an honor to finally meet you.

01:02:41You get out of my way!

01:02:43Dad, what are you doing?

01:02:44This is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...

01:02:48You are such a fool!

01:02:52Dad!

01:02:53What are you...

01:02:54What are you doing?

01:02:55Open your eyes, Preston.

01:02:57This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...

01:03:01You are a...

01:03:03Disgraced!

01:03:05Dad!

01:03:06My hospital meant something and...

01:03:09You turned it into a...

01:03:11Into a...

01:03:12Dad!

01:03:14Dad!

01:03:19Dad!

01:03:21President Vail, fuck away from my dad!

01:03:25Are you out of your mind?

01:03:26He is the best surgeon in this room.

01:03:28Oh yeah, like you give a shit about saving my dad.

01:03:30I'll die before I trust you two.

01:03:32Somebody get me a real doctor!

01:03:34David!

01:03:35David!

01:03:36Do something!

01:03:36Oh!

01:03:37It's cold!

01:03:41Can't think of what to do next?

01:03:44Blanking?

01:03:44Can't think of a diagnosis?

01:03:46Shut up!

01:03:47Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?

01:03:50This is ridiculous.

01:03:51I thought this David guy was a genius.

01:03:54Why are you just standing there?

01:03:55Do something!

01:03:58What's the matter, David?

01:03:59If you need help, just ask.

01:04:02All you have to do is admit what you did.

01:04:04Right here.

01:04:04Right now.

01:04:06I can't blow my cover butt.

01:04:09What if I kill him?

01:04:11I don't know anything about surgeries.

01:04:13I don't even know what's wrong with them.

01:04:16I did medical school on Zoom.

01:04:18David, this is a matter of life and death.

01:04:22Let it go!

01:04:23I can't.

01:04:24I can't.

01:04:25I can't.

01:04:28I can't do this.

01:04:32Okay.

01:04:33I can't.

01:04:33I can't do this.

01:04:35I can't do this without my notebook.

01:04:42That's my surgical notebook.

01:04:43He stole it from me.

01:04:45Okay.

01:04:45He stole it from me.

01:04:52Okay.

01:04:53Okay.

01:04:54I'm going to need a fork and a glass of water.

01:04:59Okay.

01:05:00Yeah.

01:05:01I got it.

01:05:02I got it.

01:05:03Here.

01:05:04Take it.

01:05:05Take it.

01:05:05Okay.

01:05:06All right.

01:05:06Hold his head.

01:05:07Good.

01:05:08Tilt it back and apply pressure here.

01:05:12Okay.

01:05:23Okay.

01:05:25Okay.

01:05:26Great.

01:05:27Full on.

01:05:29Full on.

01:05:29Ah!

01:05:32Yay!

01:05:33Oh, thank God.

01:05:41Oh, that's my guy.

01:05:43Surgical genius.

01:05:45That's how Val makes history.

01:05:47Somebody get this man a medal.

01:05:49Or at least a new department.

01:05:51If you still want that chief medical officer position,

01:05:54say the word.

01:05:56Now, do I have to have somebody escort you out?

01:06:00That maneuver.

01:06:02That notebook.

01:06:03It's mine.

01:06:04Then tell him.

01:06:09Where is he going?

01:06:10Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program at another fake hospital.

01:06:15Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?

01:06:18Say, hey, why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life?

01:06:20That procedure David used?

01:06:26I invented it.

01:06:28What kind of crack are you smoking?

01:06:31He's delusional.

01:06:33Somebody seriously check this guy's medical license.

01:06:36The notebook he used to save your father.

01:06:39That's mine.

01:06:40I'm pissed because he did what you couldn't.

01:06:47I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories as innovation.

01:06:51And when it fails, and it will, you're not the ones that'll pay for it.

01:06:59The patients will.

01:07:00You can't prove that.

01:07:01Not yet.

01:07:02But you can't fake medicine.

01:07:06Medicine and science always tell the truth.

01:07:12Our three vitals just dropped.

01:07:14We've got uncontrolled bleeding.

01:07:16Second patient today.

01:07:17Same issue.

01:07:18Vessel ligation failed mid-operation.

01:07:20These techniques aren't viable.

01:07:22The Veil method doesn't hold under stress.

01:07:24I mean, come on.

01:07:26Tonight proves it.

01:07:28We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country.

01:07:38I'll be right back.

01:07:40Just coordinating with the team.

01:07:44Talk to me.

01:07:46The vascular fundoclap maneuver failed again.

01:07:48This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.

01:07:53Use the compression step.

01:07:55That only works in controlled scenarios.

01:07:57We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.

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

01:08:06I designed those techniques for 101 guidance.

01:08:09Not mass implementation.

01:08:11Without calibration.

01:08:13It's unstable.

01:08:14It's dangerous.

01:08:15They tried to commercialize your success without you.

01:08:18Now people are paying for it.

01:08:21All good?

01:08:23Of course.

01:08:24Just routine coordination.

01:08:26Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.

01:08:30Your surgical program is failing.

01:08:32And patients are suffering.

01:08:34You've been out of the field for months.

01:08:35You wouldn't know?

01:08:36Yeah, I would know.

01:08:38Because the procedures that you're butchering,

01:08:40I invented.

01:08:41And I'm the only one in this room

01:08:43who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing.

01:08:45Bullshit.

01:08:46Oh, shit.

01:08:47Oh, yes.

01:08:53This is Dr. Marksman.

01:08:55Yeah.

01:08:55Connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.

01:08:57Okay, listen very carefully.

01:09:01Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging

01:09:05because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.

01:09:10No.

01:09:11You need to perform a Marksman-modified Pringle maneuver

01:09:13with selective hepatic arterial ligation,

01:09:16followed by a rapid-sequence vascular anatomosis

01:09:19using Interrupted 6-0 proline sutures.

01:09:24Yes.

01:09:27Yes.

01:09:29How do we even know he made a phone call?

01:09:32His whole thing is performance, a charade.

01:09:35You stole his methods.

01:09:37This entire launch party

01:09:39is built upon stolen work and guesswork.

01:09:42Uh, that's a lie.

01:09:43Then prove me wrong.

01:09:45Show them all a technique that I didn't create.

01:09:49Why would we believe anything he says?

01:09:53He was fired.

01:09:53He humiliated.

01:09:55You're right.

01:09:55I was fired.

01:09:56And the same procedures I pioneered

01:09:58were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary.

01:10:02You know what?

01:10:03This is pathetic.

01:10:04He's just jealous.

01:10:05He missed his shot.

01:10:07Is that what you told yourself?

01:10:08When you snuck back into my office

01:10:10and stole my surgical journal?

01:10:12Even if that were true,

01:10:14this isn't the time or the place.

01:10:16I think it's exactly the time and place.

01:10:19I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator.

01:10:34And thanks to Adrian's guidance,

01:10:36our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients.

01:10:40Adrian just cleaned up your mess.

01:10:44You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready

01:10:46and you fired him.

01:10:49The one person who could make them safe.

01:10:53Dad, you don't see the full picture here.

01:10:56Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.

01:10:59This hospital was built on trust and integrity

01:11:02and you've disgraced them both.

01:11:04Your father nearly died because of your ego.

01:11:08Because of his lies.

01:11:10You saved me.

01:11:14You saved Nelson.

01:11:15And now you can save Vale.

01:11:18I tried to warn you all.

01:11:20No one listened.

01:11:21They're listening now.

01:11:23You deserve to be at Vale

01:11:25more than either of those two.

01:11:29And probably even more than me.

01:11:31It was a mistake to let you go.

01:11:34Months ago, I was fired from Vale Hospital

01:11:36with procedures still in development.

01:11:39They weren't ready.

01:11:40They needed supervision.

01:11:43Precision.

01:11:44Development.

01:11:45Instead, someone took my notes

01:11:47and tried to fast-track them for glory.

01:11:49Oh, you can't prove that.

01:11:52Security footage

01:11:53of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital

01:11:59already submitted to the board.

01:12:02I built on what he started.

01:12:06Okay?

01:12:07I didn't steal.

01:12:08I enhanced it.

01:12:10Then why were patients about to die?

01:12:14You falsified rollout readiness?

01:12:16He did more than that.

01:12:18He put lives at risk

01:12:19to prove that he was smarter

01:12:21than the guy that actually created the program.

01:12:24We're going to need to open

01:12:25a formal investigation on this.

01:12:27This is absurd.

01:12:29This was supposed to be our night.

01:12:31Oh, it's your night.

01:12:33It's just not the way you thought it'd be.

01:12:35You lied to me.

01:12:37I didn't lie.

01:12:38I simplified the truth.

01:12:40Simplify?

01:12:41You could have caused serious harm

01:12:43to countless innocent people.

01:12:46You nearly killed the president of the hospital.

01:12:48You passed off experimental procedures

01:12:50as launch-ready.

01:12:52That's malpractice.

01:12:53They weren't.

01:12:55Nelson's alive.

01:12:56Look, the patients, they're alive.

01:12:58Yeah, because of me.

01:12:59Those methods require sequential tensioning.

01:13:02Breath control.

01:13:03Special clamp techniques.

01:13:04Getting one beat wrong

01:13:05is the difference between life and death.

01:13:07Wait.

01:13:08These really are your techniques.

01:13:10I tested them for years.

01:13:12It was never meant for mass rollout.

01:13:15Not without training.

01:13:16You're rewriting history?

01:13:18No, you tried to erase him from it.

01:13:21Adrian Marksman was the reason

01:13:23that Vale's program had a future.

01:13:26And without him, it won't.

01:13:28This is absurd!

01:13:30You're siding with this disgraced former resident?

01:13:33He's not disgraced, son.

01:13:35You are.

01:13:37You hijacked a program you didn't understand.

01:13:40And then when your ego wasn't enough,

01:13:43you propped up this fraud.

01:13:47Taking his side, Dad?

01:13:49I'm your son.

01:13:51I'm taking the side of truth.

01:13:53And so will the board.

01:13:54We will be convening an emergency session

01:13:57tomorrow morning.

01:13:58Until then, both of you are suspended

01:14:00from all surgical and administrative duties.

01:14:03Suspended?

01:14:04Oh, no, no.

01:14:04You can't do that.

01:14:05You don't understand the politics

01:14:06of running a hospital.

01:14:08We understand the liability.

01:14:09That's enough.

01:14:12Mr. Preston Vale.

01:14:14Dr. David Marksman.

01:14:16Come with us.

01:14:18Dad.

01:14:19You're not going to often drag me out like this.

01:14:20I'm your son.

01:14:21No.

01:14:22Don't you touch me.

01:14:23You're not a child.

01:14:24Hey.

01:14:25Dad.

01:14:25I need the side bill.

01:14:26Dad.

01:14:27I need the side bill.

01:14:27Son of a...

01:14:28Dad.

01:14:29Do something.

01:14:30Get off me.

01:14:30I'm just...

01:14:31You're not a child.

01:14:33You're not my responsibility.

01:14:41Trim, please.

01:14:42I made a mistake.

01:14:44I see that now.

01:14:45I should have believed in you.

01:14:46I should have stood by you.

01:14:49You were right about everything.

01:14:51Just give me a second chance.

01:14:56Please.

01:14:57I still love you.

01:15:00Love?

01:15:01You traded him the second someone flashier walked by.

01:15:05You don't understand.

01:15:07I thought he was finished.

01:15:09I thought he had nothing left.

01:15:11So you sold him out.

01:15:13Mocked him.

01:15:14Over and over again.

01:15:16I was scared.

01:15:18I...

01:15:18I didn't know what to do.

01:15:20Oh, you knew.

01:15:21You just didn't care.

01:15:23Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser.

01:15:27Please.

01:15:29Say something.

01:15:32Anything.

01:15:33You had your chance, Fiona.

01:15:35And you spent it holding Preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive.

01:15:39You always belonged in my operating room.

01:15:50And I should have fought harder to keep you if I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes.

01:15:56The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board.

01:16:01And David will never go near another patient again.

01:16:05We're rebuilding.

01:16:06And I want you back as Vale's chief of experimental surgery.

01:16:12I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.

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

01:16:18I'm not the same man that you fired.

01:16:21Well, all the more reason we need you back at Vale.

01:16:25Adrian 2.0.

01:16:27I'm not coming back.

01:16:30You're choosing her?

01:16:32Our rival?

01:16:34You arrogant little ingrate.

01:16:36I open the door for you and you slam it in my face.

01:16:40Just typical.

01:16:42Just when you had your moment, you turned your back on it for, for what, her?

01:16:48She's just going to use you up and toss you aside like everyone else.

01:16:52Oh, projecting much, Nelson.

01:16:55Get me out of here.

01:16:57Now!

01:16:58Karma has good timing.

01:17:19Speaking of timing, we should get back to work.

01:17:21We have lives to save.

01:17:24Hey!

01:17:25Not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.

01:17:30I still owe you that extra special bonus.

01:17:35Now?

01:17:36We'll just spend a time like the present.

01:17:38This is what victory tastes like.

01:17:48It's not bad.

01:17:50I need a second opinion.

01:17:51Well, I've got all night.

01:17:56And you're not leaving this room until I've properly celebrated my genius surgeon.

01:18:02Should I be afraid of a performance review?

01:18:05You're already exceeding expectations.

01:18:08But I am very thorough.

01:18:10Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.

01:18:21Besides meeting you, of course.

01:18:23Yes.

01:18:30Yes.

01:18:40You're not leaving this room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the room until you're in the
