Short filmTranscript
00:00:00A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured patients flooding into Bale Hospital's emergency department.
00:00:11The fate of these accident victims now rests in the hands of Bale's surgical team, their last hope for survival in the face of devastating trauma.
00:00:20Patients crashing! We need an attending surgeon now!
00:00:23All the hours are full. We've got three more criticals incoming.
00:00:26Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding.
00:00:28Warren, I can't leave this one. Where's Dr. Stevens?
00:00:31We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the U.R.
00:00:50Need a hand?
00:00:52A new hire. You just started this month.
00:00:55Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level 1 trauma like this.
00:01:00Patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:01Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman. Patient's yours.
00:01:04Okay, we are going to perform a modified whipple.
00:01:13Whipple? For trauma?
00:01:16That's insane.
00:01:17Trust me.
00:01:18Medicine bomb scissors.
00:01:21Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:26That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive.
00:01:29Bowbie coterie.
00:01:33Watch.
00:01:39He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:42But bleeding.
00:01:43It's under control.
00:01:45But how did he...
00:01:47Silk suture.
00:01:54Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:01:57I've never seen anything like this.
00:02:04Almost done.
00:02:14This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:15Jesus, Adrian.
00:02:26What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:02:28I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but that...
00:02:31That was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed.
00:02:35Where did you learn to operate like that?
00:02:36What you just did will go down in the history books.
00:02:39Wait, I heard President Vail personally recruited a medical prodigy who revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.
00:02:47Is that you?
00:02:55Final suture.
00:02:57Miss Vail's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:03:01Doctor.
00:03:03The nurses.
00:03:03They said you did it.
00:03:05And you...
00:03:06You actually did.
00:03:07Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.
00:03:09Every surgeon on the West Coast said it was inoperable, that she only had weeks to live, but...
00:03:13You saved my Catherine.
00:03:26She'll make a full recovery, President Vail.
00:03:29Name your price, whatever it is.
00:03:30We need you at Vail.
00:03:32My hospital.
00:03:36Look, I'll explain later.
00:03:37Right now, we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.
00:03:41It's gonna take hours.
00:03:43Y'all should go home.
00:03:43Get some rest.
00:03:45I'll take over from here.
00:03:47Okay.
00:03:49Good work, everyone.
00:04:07They're all stable.
00:04:23Every single one of them.
00:04:25Stabilized.
00:04:30Oh, the sun's coming up.
00:04:33You must have operated all night.
00:04:35You're a machine.
00:04:36Well, that's why they paid me the big bucks.
00:04:39All right.
00:04:41It's time for some much-needed Shaddai.
00:04:58Hey, you.
00:05:02Hey, yourself.
00:05:03I've been operating all night.
00:05:07I've seen every single patient in that pileup.
00:05:11What you did was extraordinary.
00:05:13How do you always know exactly what I needed?
00:05:17Because I know you.
00:05:19Better than anyone.
00:05:26Blueberry.
00:05:27Your favorite.
00:05:29You remembered.
00:05:30Where's your dad?
00:05:31You know, I've been thinking lately about us.
00:05:38I know it's only been a month, but it just feels different.
00:05:42It's the third time this week.
00:05:52Hospital food's better than someone else's.
00:05:54Hmm.
00:05:56So who's this marksman guy?
00:05:58His surgical skills are unreal.
00:05:59Sure.
00:06:00I thought he was just another new hire.
00:06:02I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:06:05With a town like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department right now.
00:06:08What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?
00:06:18Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.
00:06:24Who is this guy?
00:06:25Preston Vail, Preston Vail's son, Harvard MBA.
00:06:30He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife,
00:06:34who just recovered from an experimental pancreatic duodenectomy.
00:06:38I'm sorry.
00:06:39Am I looking at two board-certified surgeons or med school dropouts?
00:06:45Hard to tell based on your behavior.
00:06:46Sir, about last-
00:06:48Save it.
00:06:50Parker.
00:06:51You couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:06:55You're fired.
00:06:57Clear out your office.
00:06:58New management means new standards.
00:07:01It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.
00:07:06Attention.
00:07:07Need everybody's attention now.
00:07:10If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs,
00:07:13every surgery must be perfect.
00:07:15No complications, no deaths.
00:07:19This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:07:23Who's he thinking he is?
00:07:24Dr. House?
00:07:26What is this?
00:07:29Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:07:32Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:07:35This is a hospital.
00:07:38We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
00:07:42That was for my residency direction.
00:07:44Oh, cry me a river.
00:07:46Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients
00:07:48and a little less time collecting gold stars,
00:07:51you'd be a real doctor.
00:07:53You're fired.
00:07:54Excuse me?
00:07:55Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop
00:07:57just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.
00:08:00Yes, sir.
00:08:01Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?
00:08:03That was good.
00:08:06Let's go.
00:08:11Well, well, well.
00:08:13What do we have here?
00:08:15Sleeping after a shift?
00:08:18Rise and shine, superstar.
00:08:19Did I order a wake-up call?
00:08:26No, you didn't.
00:08:27Yes, but here's one anyway.
00:08:29You are fired.
00:08:34Are you serious?
00:08:35You're firing me?
00:08:37Do you need me to draw you a diagram, doctor?
00:08:40Well, no, but there must be some sort of mistake.
00:08:43Fiona, what's his position here?
00:08:45He's a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.
00:08:51What's he make?
00:08:52$700,000.
00:08:54That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
00:08:56$700?
00:08:58Are you insane?
00:08:59You're giving resident money to a first-year
00:09:01who sleeps on the job?
00:09:02This hospital is being scammed.
00:09:05I just worked all night, okay?
00:09:07I'm just taking a nap.
00:09:08Also, now you're expecting overtime pay.
00:09:11Seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.
00:09:15What were you thinking, hiring this fraud?
00:09:17Either you're as dumb as these hack surgeons,
00:09:19or this is some sort of insurance scam.
00:09:21Adrian and I might be sleeping together,
00:09:25but I can't let him drag me down.
00:09:27My career comes first.
00:09:29Boy, bye.
00:09:31There must be some clerical error.
00:09:33These credentials.
00:09:35Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:09:38Fiona.
00:09:40Dr. Marksman.
00:09:43You are F-I-R-E-D fired.
00:09:47Clear out your office.
00:09:50Clear out your locker.
00:09:52You'll get the hell out of my hospital.
00:09:55This is a mistake, okay?
00:09:56You need to check the surgical law.
00:09:57You don't get to wear that.
00:09:58What?
00:10:05I see.
00:10:09Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:10:11You don't understand.
00:10:12He's the one who...
00:10:13Didn't I fire you two already?
00:10:16Beat it.
00:10:17Vale is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:10:19Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:10:20I understand.
00:10:41Hospital politics.
00:10:43I know it's only been a month,
00:10:44but there is something real between us.
00:10:47Meet me in the lobby after your shift.
00:10:50I'll be waiting.
00:10:50You care to explain that little exchange?
00:11:06If the board won't like this,
00:11:08four attendings dismissed in one day,
00:11:10patient care will suffer.
00:11:12Fear is a weapon, Fiona.
00:11:14I intend to wield it.
00:11:16Or perhaps you're more concerned
00:11:18with one surgeon in particular,
00:11:19your little scam artist situation ship.
00:11:23No, Preston.
00:11:24He means nothing to me.
00:11:26Really.
00:11:27I have no personal stake in your staffing decision.
00:11:28Let's be clear about your future here.
00:11:32Do you want to be with the nobody
00:11:33collecting unemployment checks,
00:11:36or the man who signs everyone's paychecks,
00:11:40including yours?
00:11:41The man who signs everyone's paychecks.
00:11:46Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded
00:11:49who's in charge around here.
00:11:51Hey, Dad.
00:12:00What's wrong?
00:12:01Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.
00:12:03She'll be okay,
00:12:04but I need you to take full control of the hospital.
00:12:08And, Preston,
00:12:08there's something critical you need to know.
00:12:11Of course.
00:12:11What is it?
00:12:12That new surgeon,
00:12:14Dr. Marksman,
00:12:15whatever happens,
00:12:16make sure you take care of him.
00:12:18Dr. Marksman?
00:12:19Dr. Marksman,
00:12:20you're fucking fired.
00:12:22Get out of my hospital.
00:12:24Christ.
00:12:25The resident I just fired?
00:12:28Preston?
00:12:29Are you there?
00:12:31Check the staff roster.
00:12:33See if we have another Marksman working for us here.
00:12:37I had to back up the brakes truck to get him here.
00:12:41He's a surgeon who saved your mother's life,
00:12:43and he's pioneering our experimental surgery program.
00:12:46The hospital's reputation rests on his work.
00:12:56Ah, yes.
00:12:57I see now there's another surgeon attending with that name.
00:13:01Dr. Marksman,
00:13:02pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
00:13:05Two-time Florence Nightingale,
00:13:07medal recipient for medical excellence.
00:13:09Three-times Apex award winner for clinical research.
00:13:11Is this who you mean, Dad?
00:13:12That's our man.
00:13:14There's another surgeon with the same last name
00:13:16who's been a disaster for us.
00:13:18Negligent, lazy, you name it.
00:13:20Do me a favor.
00:13:21Fire him.
00:13:23Already done, Dad.
00:13:24I fired his slacker ass this morning.
00:13:27Thank God.
00:13:28Almost thought I fired our star surgeon.
00:13:31Good work, son.
00:13:33I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
00:13:35Just, uh, just take care of Mom, all right?
00:13:39I got everything else under control.
00:13:47See?
00:13:48Told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless.
00:13:51Now, about your career trajectory.
00:13:55Mr. Bale, sir.
00:13:57Can't you see I'm busy?
00:13:59Multiple traumas incoming.
00:14:00The six-car pileup.
00:14:01You fired half our surgery team.
00:14:02What's your point?
00:14:03E.R. is crashing.
00:14:05We've no one left who can handle it.
00:14:12Give me the situation.
00:14:14Now.
00:14:15Six critical traumas, three more incoming.
00:14:18Multiple crush injuries, arterial bleed, sir.
00:14:21We're losing patients.
00:14:23What are our options?
00:14:25There might be one solution.
00:14:26Well, spit it out.
00:14:28Dr. Marksman.
00:14:29He handled four critical traumas alone last night.
00:14:32If we can get him back here.
00:14:34Marksman.
00:14:34Right.
00:14:35That's the man we need.
00:14:35Fiona, call him.
00:14:37Which Dr. Marksman should I?
00:14:39The genius surgeon.
00:14:40The one I didn't fire.
00:14:41Keep up.
00:14:42What the hell?
00:14:48Where'd all this stuff go?
00:15:04Idiot left his research notes.
00:15:07Modified trauma protocol.
00:15:12Wait.
00:15:14These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:15:18Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:15:24Hello?
00:15:25Dr. Marksman?
00:15:26Multiple critical traumas in the E.R.
00:15:28Preston Vale says if you can handle this crisis,
00:15:31there's a monster promotion waiting.
00:15:32I'm on my way.
00:15:37With Adrian's techniques,
00:15:39I'll look like a genius.
00:15:41They'll make me department head,
00:15:43and I can finally make seven figures.
00:15:52Well?
00:15:53Dr. Marksman's on his way.
00:15:55Thank God.
00:15:55Now,
00:16:06about your loyalty.
00:16:09Adrian meant nothing.
00:16:11I was using him to advance my career.
00:16:13You're my future.
00:16:15That's my girl.
00:16:16Beyond a shift in it an hour ago,
00:16:26the boss's son is up to something.
00:16:29To hell with this.
00:16:31I'm going up.
00:16:31I'm going up.
00:16:33Piece of shit.
00:16:51Get your hand off my girl.
00:16:55Oh,
00:16:55knock it off, Adrian.
00:16:57You mean to tell me that the brilliant surgeon
00:16:59can't see what's been happening under his own nose?
00:17:01You mean to tell me that you've been messing around
00:17:04with this incompetent Nepo baby?
00:17:06I can choose who I want,
00:17:07and I don't want a disgrace surgeon with no future.
00:17:10You pathetic loser.
00:17:27We're done, Adrian.
00:17:29Ancient history.
00:17:30Are you serious?
00:17:33Just like that.
00:17:35Sorry that this bum wrinkled your jacket, sir.
00:17:40Why are you doing this, Fiona?
00:17:42Am I just a stepping stone to you?
00:17:44I need someone with a future,
00:17:46not someone who sleeps
00:17:47while patients are dying.
00:17:53Keep it for when you get lonely and horny.
00:17:55It's the closest you'll ever come to the real thing again.
00:17:58Look at us, Adrian.
00:18:04I'm the future of Vail Hospital,
00:18:07and you...
00:18:07you're just a slacker
00:18:11and scrubs.
00:18:13You're washed up, marksman.
00:18:15Perhaps try nursing.
00:18:17I hear they're always hiring.
00:18:20Fiona, I met you here,
00:18:21and it made me want to stay.
00:18:22I thought we could build a family together.
00:18:26Get over yourself.
00:18:28You think I'm going to stay with someone
00:18:30who lied about their credentials?
00:18:32President Vail would never have hired someone
00:18:35who sleeps during shifts.
00:18:37We're done.
00:18:40I'm not done.
00:18:42But when I am,
00:18:44there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.
00:18:47You can count on that.
00:18:51No, no, no.
00:18:52Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.
00:18:54Your troubles are just getting started.
00:18:56Who authorizes you to be here?
00:19:03Mr. Vail,
00:19:03I'm pleased to announce
00:19:04that under my supervision,
00:19:06we've stabilized all the patients
00:19:08from the multi-car accident,
00:19:09and the situation is completely under control.
00:19:12You're Dr. Marksman.
00:19:14Ah, yes.
00:19:15The very same.
00:19:16My father mentioned
00:19:17your exceptional credentials.
00:19:19Harvard Medical, was it?
00:19:22These morons have no idea
00:19:24I'm taking credit
00:19:25for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.
00:19:27As long as the boss's son is impressed,
00:19:30I'll be chief of surgery by next month.
00:19:32Mr. Vail,
00:19:33I've identified who's responsible
00:19:34for all the issues in OR3 today.
00:19:38He was sleeping
00:19:39while the patient almost died on the table.
00:19:42Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
00:19:52Dr. Hart.
00:19:52Incredible news.
00:19:56Dr. Adrian Marksman,
00:19:57that surgical pioneer
00:19:58that you've been tracking,
00:19:59he's just been terminated
00:20:01from Vail Hospital.
00:20:03When?
00:20:04Less than an hour ago.
00:20:05Dismissed by President Vail's son.
00:20:09Huh.
00:20:10Amazing.
00:20:12I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face
00:20:14when he discovers
00:20:15that his prize surgeon
00:20:16was fired by his submental son.
00:20:19With, uh, respect,
00:20:21we're still establishing
00:20:22our reputation.
00:20:24Would someone of Marksman's caliber
00:20:26even consider joining us?
00:20:28I'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:20:30Full department autonomy,
00:20:33research funding,
00:20:35state-of-the-art facilities,
00:20:37and, if necessary,
00:20:39my personal involvement.
00:20:42His techniques could revolutionize
00:20:44surgical care.
00:20:45Have my car brought round.
00:20:48I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.
00:20:51And Adrian Marksman?
00:20:53He's leaving with me.
00:20:54Alphysus.
00:21:02What kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:21:04Oh, don't insult our intelligence.
00:21:06A patient coded
00:21:07while you were off taking a nap.
00:21:09The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental.
00:21:11Yet you stand there denying it.
00:21:13This is crazy.
00:21:14You've all passed me off
00:21:15as some second-rate surgeon.
00:21:17And when a complication occurs,
00:21:18which happened in this hospital
00:21:20under your incompetent leadership,
00:21:22you blame me?
00:21:26The collective medical knowledge
00:21:28in this room isn't enough
00:21:28to fill a prescription pad.
00:21:31If you were even half the surgeon
00:21:33that you claim to be,
00:21:34you would still have a job.
00:21:37I'm not going to stand here
00:21:38and debate medicine with you
00:21:39in front of Mr. Vail.
00:21:40Security, please detain him.
00:21:48What exactly are you accusing me of?
00:21:50Either confess to medical malfeasance
00:21:53or they'll escort you to the police
00:21:55for criminal negligence.
00:21:57Adrian, I never realized
00:21:59you were capable of endangering patients.
00:22:02What other medical atrocities
00:22:03have you committed?
00:22:04You better confess now
00:22:05or we'll do everything in your power
00:22:07to make sure you lose
00:22:08your medical license.
00:22:11Fine.
00:22:12Go ahead.
00:22:13Do your worst.
00:22:15Let's see if a single piece of evidence
00:22:16holds up in front of the medical board.
00:22:18You really underestimate
00:22:22my family's influence, don't you?
00:22:25Don't you realize that Mr. Vail here
00:22:26can end your entire career
00:22:28with one phone call?
00:22:29Sir, I strongly recommend
00:22:31that we make an example out of him.
00:22:33After all, he'll be a danger
00:22:34to his patients wherever he goes.
00:22:36Preston, you can't let him
00:22:38walk away after this.
00:22:39Not after what he did
00:22:40to our patients.
00:22:41I'm contacting the medical board
00:22:44right now.
00:22:45As of this moment,
00:22:47Dr. Adrian Marksman
00:22:48is blacklisted from Vail Hospital
00:22:49and every medical institute
00:22:51in the country.
00:22:52Plans in motion, Adrian.
00:22:54Do you know what that means?
00:22:56It means that you
00:22:57will never practice medicine
00:22:58in this country again.
00:23:00I have one question
00:23:03before I go.
00:23:05Does your father know
00:23:06you fired me?
00:23:08My father's the one
00:23:08who asked me to fire you,
00:23:10you dipshit.
00:23:13You thought you were
00:23:14some brilliant surgical god,
00:23:16didn't you?
00:23:17Security, remove this criminal
00:23:19from hospital property immediately.
00:23:21Immediately.
00:23:22Yes, doctor.
00:23:23Right away, sir.
00:23:24Okay.
00:23:26That's quite enough.
00:23:27Let him go.
00:23:42Dr. Marksman
00:23:43is about to accept the position
00:23:45as chief of surgical innovation
00:23:47at Heart Medical Center.
00:23:51I know you.
00:23:53You're Vivian Heart,
00:23:54the surgical upstart
00:23:55from that medical clinic
00:23:57across town.
00:23:58That's Dr. Vivian Heart to you,
00:24:01Mr. Vale.
00:24:02Vivian, I haven't seen you
00:24:04since the John Hopkins Symposium
00:24:05like four or five years ago.
00:24:07What are you doing here?
00:24:09Well, I'm here for the most
00:24:10innovative surgeon
00:24:11in the country, of course.
00:24:13Wait.
00:24:14Are you seriously suggesting
00:24:16this negligent doctor has value?
00:24:19He was sleeping during rounds.
00:24:21Is this how Vale Hospital
00:24:22discards its exceptional talent?
00:24:24Your father built this institution's reputation
00:24:27of medical excellence,
00:24:29not petty politics.
00:24:32Dr. Hart,
00:24:33with all due respect...
00:24:35This is a conversation
00:24:36between medical directors.
00:24:38Someone in your position
00:24:39should recognize
00:24:39when to maintain silence.
00:24:41Dr. Hart,
00:24:42I must inform you
00:24:43that Dr. Marksman
00:24:44represents a serious liability.
00:24:46He compromised
00:24:47patient safety and...
00:24:49I don't believe I requested
00:24:50your medical opinion,
00:24:51Dr. Marksman.
00:24:53David Marksman.
00:24:54I have neither time
00:24:55nor interest
00:24:56in your assessment.
00:24:59After he
00:25:00decided to go to sleep,
00:25:02we had a critical
00:25:03surgical complication.
00:25:05His negligence
00:25:06led to the problem.
00:25:07His actions
00:25:08not only endangered patients,
00:25:09it compromised
00:25:10my hospital's reputation.
00:25:13Are you really willing
00:25:14to defend someone
00:25:15who violates
00:25:16the Hippocratic Oath?
00:25:18Did you actually consult
00:25:19with your father
00:25:19before dismissing
00:25:20Dr. Marksman?
00:25:21Of course I consulted
00:25:24my father.
00:25:26He's the one
00:25:27who specifically mentioned
00:25:28his dangerous
00:25:29surgical shortcuts
00:25:30and inflated reputation.
00:25:32Dangerous shortcuts?
00:25:34Is that what
00:25:35President Vail really said?
00:25:36His exact words were,
00:25:38remove him
00:25:38at first opportunity.
00:25:40President Vail
00:25:41was the one
00:25:41that recruited me.
00:25:42This makes absolutely
00:25:43no sense.
00:25:43Please, Adrian.
00:25:45The president
00:25:45wouldn't personally recruit
00:25:47a mid-level surgeon
00:25:48like you.
00:25:49Those gala invitations
00:25:50were professional courtesy,
00:25:53not genuine respect.
00:25:55Well, if that's the way
00:25:56things work at Vail,
00:25:56I have nothing more
00:25:57to contribute
00:25:58to any of you.
00:26:00Dr. Marksman,
00:26:01would you consider
00:26:02joining Heart Medical Center
00:26:03as our chief of surgery?
00:26:04Well, I've...
00:26:07Full department autonomy,
00:26:10protected research time,
00:26:11a surgical fellowship
00:26:12in your name,
00:26:13and a seven-figure salary package.
00:26:16Georgia.
00:26:17...
00:26:19TOGETHER
00:26:27...
00:26:35TOGETHER
00:26:36...
00:26:39...
00:26:40And Cash, Dr. Marksman, I want you to revolutionize our surgery program.
00:26:54Hopefully this shows you.
00:26:56I mean what I say.
00:26:57Chief of Surgery?
00:27:07You're offering all this to a surgeon who can't even keep his eyes open on the job?
00:27:12Dr. Hart, have you completely lost your medical judgment or are you on drugs?
00:27:17This is absurd.
00:27:19He was a mediocre surgeon here at Vail.
00:27:21And now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department?
00:27:27The medical board should review your hiring practices.
00:27:32Vivian, I appreciate your confidence.
00:27:36This isn't about money.
00:27:38Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you.
00:27:44She's offering herself up to him.
00:27:46She can't do that.
00:27:47Are you a doctor or a call girl?
00:27:50At Hart Medical Center, you will be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves.
00:27:54including a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value.
00:28:00And I do mean anything, Dr. Marksman.
00:28:05Dr. Hart, for the sake of your own reputation, you need to know that this hack you're so eagerly pursuing has a documented history of negligence.
00:28:15My father confirmed it himself.
00:28:17Is that precisely what Nelson Vail told you?
00:28:20His exact words.
00:28:23Negligence, surgeon?
00:28:25What are those?
00:28:28Personal gifts from your father?
00:28:33My fellowship offer?
00:28:35My personal research lab?
00:28:37My surgical team?
00:28:38I'm leaving it all behind.
00:28:42You can tell President Vail that as of this moment, Dr. Marksman has permanently withdrawn from Vail Hospital and all of its affiliated institutions.
00:28:52You know what?
00:28:52Spare us the theatrics, Adrian.
00:28:54You never deserve those privileges in the first place.
00:28:58The medical board is going to see that justice is done.
00:29:01Oh, your stupidity.
00:29:04It's just astonishing.
00:29:06You treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels.
00:29:10This man is a life-saving artist.
00:29:17Dr. Hart, I understand there's some competition between your center and Vail Hospital.
00:29:22Yeah, look, I'll be real.
00:29:24We're struggling to get out from under their shadow.
00:29:27Look, I'd be happy to help you out with that.
00:29:29Take me on, and I'll transform Hart into the number one surgical institution in the country.
00:29:34Look at yourself, Adrian, offering your skills to a struggling clinic.
00:29:40How pathetically desperate.
00:29:43Oh, a backstabbing bottom feeder like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his caliber.
00:29:50How dare you talk to me like that!
00:29:51Your malpractice has caused catastrophic damage to my hospital's reputation.
00:29:58As the responsible party, I demand that you issue a formal apology to one of the major medical journals.
00:30:04And with an explanation to every affected Vail Hospital patient.
00:30:10Refuse me, and I will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently.
00:30:15That accusation isn't just baseness.
00:30:18It's absurd.
00:30:19What exactly do you think you're going to do about it?
00:30:22You've got no choice but to sign this confession.
00:30:24Oh, stop threatening my chief surgeon.
00:30:27If you insist on pursuing this vendetta, have your attorney send a formal complaint to Hart Medical Center.
00:30:33We'll consider it nothing less than a declaration of total war.
00:30:37If it's war you want, I will obliterate your dime store clinic with everything that I've got.
00:30:45Let's go.
00:30:47One more second and a cesspool's going to make me physically ill.
00:30:58Mr. Vail, don't you waste another precious moment on those secondary practitioners.
00:31:05David, you've proven your loyalty.
00:31:07The chief of surgery position is yours, effective immediately.
00:31:12This is, this is extraordinary.
00:31:14I, thank you.
00:31:16I, uh, I, I am honored beyond words.
00:31:20Don't forget about me, Preston.
00:31:23Don't worry, babe.
00:31:24You will be thoroughly compensated for your loyalty.
00:31:29How exciting.
00:31:31Mr. Vail, I swear on my medical oath that I will not disappoint you.
00:31:37Mr. Vail, a commuter train derailed.
00:31:40Six critical patients incoming.
00:31:41Dr. Marksman, OR1 now.
00:31:44Now's your time to shine, Dr. Marksman.
00:31:46Shit.
00:31:46I'm screwed.
00:31:47Adrian's surgical journal with all his proprietary techniques is still in my office.
00:31:51If Preston finds out, I stole it and then couldn't even use it properly.
00:31:55I implemented a groundbreaking surgical protocol that I invented myself.
00:32:02These techniques are revolutionary.
00:32:04I'll walk you through it in detail after the emergency.
00:32:07It's impressive, Dr. Marksman.
00:32:09You've obviously got your own methodology.
00:32:12No need to bore me with the specifics.
00:32:13I trust your brilliance.
00:32:15Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:32:17With you leading my surgical team, I can focus on what really matters.
00:32:21Hospital expansion.
00:32:24Again, sir, I'm deeply honored.
00:32:33Behold, Vail Hospital's new chief of surgery.
00:32:36Let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now.
00:32:43Glad you're feeling better, honey.
00:32:45Well, sorry.
00:32:48Who's this?
00:32:52Nelson Vail speaking.
00:32:53President Vail, Dr. Vivian Hart here.
00:32:57I am calling to let you know that as of this morning,
00:33:00Hart Medical Center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena.
00:33:04Revolutionary surgical procedures are Vail Hospital's domain.
00:33:09Are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight?
00:33:12This is merely a professional courtesy call.
00:33:14Not an invitation for debate.
00:33:16Now, just...
00:33:21Just that conniving bitch plotting.
00:33:25She knows Adrienne is our surgical secret weapon.
00:33:29Why would she deliberately provoke a medical war?
00:33:32She has absolutely no chance of winning.
00:33:38Unless...
00:33:39Dad, we've got multiple traumas coming in.
00:33:46Just tell me you didn't fire Dr. Marksman.
00:33:48Dad, relax.
00:33:51I fired the other one.
00:33:53That incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned.
00:33:56Then explain to me why Hart Medical Center believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy.
00:34:02Because I astrophily led Vivian Hart into a false sense of reality.
00:34:08There's no way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures.
00:34:12I convinced Vivian that she's acquired surgical brilliance.
00:34:16But in reality, she's hired our disgraced, discarded loser.
00:34:21So you deliberately manipulated Vivian?
00:34:23She thinks she's hired genius behind Vail Hospital's groundbreaking procedures.
00:34:28That's why she had the audacity to declare war on you.
00:34:31Impressive, son.
00:34:32You're finally showing some of the leadership qualities.
00:34:35Uh, I've been waiting to see out of you.
00:34:37I think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division.
00:34:44Dad, this...
00:34:45This is everything I've worked for.
00:34:48We'll get to work immediately.
00:34:50We're going to expose Hart Medical Center for the low-grade institution it truly is.
00:34:57Their humiliation will be quick and absolute.
00:35:01I won't let you down.
00:35:04Darling, surgical innovation is the future of Vail.
00:35:08Preston only got his MBA last year.
00:35:10Do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program?
00:35:15I would never take a risk like this if Preston was our only asset.
00:35:20Remember, we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon.
00:35:24You mean the surgeon that saved my life?
00:35:27Dr. Adrian Marksman.
00:35:29Exactly.
00:35:30And all I need to do is stay hands-off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents.
00:35:40As long as Adrian is with Vail Hospital, Hart Medical Center has no chance of competing.
00:35:46Not only that, Vivian fell for Preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster, Dr. David Marksman.
00:35:56All we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble.
00:36:03So, now that you've seen the surgical department, what do you think?
00:36:15It's not bad.
00:36:17It's a small team, but they're talented.
00:36:20What you've built here, it's impressive, Viv.
00:36:25It's good to see you again after all these years, Adrian.
00:36:27You too.
00:36:30You need to expand.
00:36:32It's too small for what I'm planning.
00:36:35Also, I heard you weren't the only surgeon Preston Vale fired.
00:36:40We have all the angles figured out, don't you?
00:36:47And I always find the best one.
00:36:57I'm going to start recruiting.
00:37:00Good.
00:37:01The faster we rise, the more rewarding this partnership becomes.
00:37:20This better be good.
00:37:22Mr. Vale, you wanted to see me?
00:37:25My father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department.
00:37:35Given your new position as chief of surgery, I'm appointing you head of innovation.
00:37:40Mr. Vale, I, uh...
00:37:42Is there an issue with that?
00:37:43No, absolutely not.
00:37:45The budget for innovation is astronomical, and President Vale has already handed control to his son?
00:37:51If I oversee these procedures, I could divert significant resources to my personal research.
00:37:58Mr. Vale, you can trust me completely.
00:38:01I am precisely the right man for the job.
00:38:06Preston, we have a catastrophe on our hands.
00:38:08Two attending surgeons just submitted their resignation simultaneously.
00:38:11The department can't possibly maintain its caseload.
00:38:13What?
00:38:14They both resigned at once?
00:38:15What was their explanation?
00:38:16They refused to disclose their reasons.
00:38:18But there's talk they were recruited by a former Vale physician.
00:38:21Along with the three other surgeons you fired before.
00:38:24Former physician, Adrian Marksman.
00:38:26This has his saboteur signature all over it.
00:38:28President, what's our contingency plan?
00:38:31The surgical department is severely understaffed.
00:38:33If any more surgeons leave, patients will suffer.
00:38:36Okay, everybody needs to remain calm.
00:38:40You still have me.
00:38:42I can rebuild this department.
00:38:44Ah, yes.
00:38:45With your stellar reputation, we should be able to get the best of the best.
00:38:49Exactly.
00:38:49So we lost some second-rate talent.
00:38:52Let him go.
00:38:54I'll make some calls to Cedar Sinai and UCLA.
00:39:00Good work, Marksman.
00:39:04This is working out perfectly.
00:39:06Now I can install my own allies in key positions.
00:39:10Soon, I'll control the entire hospital's medical direction.
00:39:12It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Hart.
00:39:38This is Dr. Parker here.
00:39:43He's a triple board certified surgeon.
00:39:46And soon, he'll be the head of trauma surgery.
00:39:48This is Dr. Rose, Chen, Rose, and Thomas.
00:39:53All consummate professionals.
00:39:55My most trusted colleagues back at Vale.
00:39:57With this surgical team, Hart Medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country.
00:40:07Actually, the whole world.
00:40:09We're eager to begin, Dr. Hart.
00:40:11Well, welcome to Hart Medical Center.
00:40:15I am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us, but I do need to be transparent.
00:40:21We have got considerable ground to cover before we can truly challenge Vale Hospital's dominance.
00:40:27Have no fear, Dr. Hart.
00:40:29With Adrian leading our team, we'll be three steps ahead of anything Vale attempts.
00:40:33Yes, but Vale has already implemented Adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols.
00:40:40Yeah, about that.
00:40:42It's a preliminary version.
00:40:43If they continue to develop this approach without modification...
00:40:46Then what?
00:40:47A lot of deaths.
00:40:48A lot of lawsuits.
00:40:50A lot of patients could be harmed.
00:40:52Or worse, these procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement.
00:40:57Those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training.
00:41:01Without that foundation.
00:41:03We're talking about serious complications.
00:41:06Preventable harm.
00:41:07Our first priority has to be patient safety.
00:41:10We need to perfect these procedures.
00:41:13And then we can find a way to prevent Vale from continuing with the flawed protocols.
00:41:18Exactly.
00:41:18It's not about competition or pride.
00:41:21It's about saving lives.
00:41:24We're using our experience with the trial procedures I did at Vale to develop next generation surgical techniques
00:41:31eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies.
00:41:36Even if Vale Hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new,
00:41:41we'll maintain our significant advantage.
00:41:44And if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols, rest assured, their outcomes will deteriorate.
00:41:51I don't wish it upon their patients, that's for sure.
00:41:55Remember this moment.
00:41:56In this battle for medical supremacy, Heart Medical Center will emerge victorious.
00:42:08It's 3 a.m.
00:42:10Lost track of time again.
00:42:12Viv, you surprised me.
00:42:21Looks like you could use a nice rub.
00:42:24Do you mind?
00:42:26No.
00:42:28I mean, yeah.
00:42:30What do you give all your surgeons massages?
00:42:34Only the ones I really, really like.
00:42:36You really, really like me?
00:42:44Adrienne, I've really, really liked you since residency.
00:42:47Nothing's changed.
00:42:50You were our most brilliant resident in the program.
00:42:53I never imagined someone like you would like me.
00:42:55There was never anyone else that got my attention.
00:42:59Only you.
00:43:00But you were completely oblivious.
00:43:04And then you just vanished from the program.
00:43:08Well, I left to join the Experimental Surgical Fellowship in Switzerland.
00:43:12I know.
00:43:15Your talent was extraordinary even then.
00:43:19Back then, I made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday.
00:43:22You know, when I established Heart Medical Center, my first priority was recruiting you.
00:43:30But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Bale, had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives.
00:43:39I understand now.
00:43:47So, should we pick up where we left off in residency?
00:43:52You're the boss.
00:43:54That's right.
00:43:56And as your boss, I say, come home with me.
00:44:00Tonight?
00:44:01You lost everything when Preston fired you.
00:44:04Hospital privileges, research funding, even your hospital-subsidized apartment.
00:44:14You have literally nowhere else to go tonight.
00:44:17Come with me.
00:44:21Where?
00:44:22My place.
00:44:28All right.
00:44:33I'll admit it.
00:44:34That was the best meal I've had in months.
00:44:37Careful, Dr. Marksman.
00:44:39I might start thinking you're easy to please.
00:44:42That just depends on the company.
00:44:43Well, starting tonight, this is your new home.
00:44:48Until the program's fully established, it just makes sense.
00:44:53Are you sure about that?
00:44:54We already work late hours.
00:44:56Living together could get complicated.
00:45:01Well, I like complicated.
00:45:03Keeps things interesting.
00:45:04And where exactly will I be sleeping?
00:45:08Well, my master suite has a California king.
00:45:17Plenty of room.
00:45:21If things ever need to get more collaborative.
00:45:26I'll show you your room.
00:45:27Really?
00:45:30Relax.
00:45:31I'm only teasing.
00:45:33Tonight, at least.
00:45:36Come on.
00:45:36I'll show you your room.
00:45:42Unless you'd rather have a nightcap.
00:45:45And mine.
00:45:52Things could get dangerous.
00:45:53Is this pathetic attempt really the best that you can do?
00:46:05You are completely worthless as surgeons.
00:46:08Dr. Marksman, the experimental procedures we're trying to replicate here are extraordinarily intricate.
00:46:14We need at least six months to properly master.
00:46:18Six months?
00:46:19You have 72 hours.
00:46:21And I expect hourly updates on my desk.
00:46:24Sir, brushing these delicate procedures dramatically increases the possibility of potentially fatal complications.
00:46:30Three days.
00:46:31And you don't get one hour more.
00:46:34Go.
00:46:35Go.
00:46:39Report, Dr. Marksman.
00:46:40What's our status?
00:46:42Excellent progress, Mr. Vale.
00:46:44We will be advancing to phase two implementation within three days.
00:46:48That's exactly what I wanted to hear.
00:46:49I knew my judgment in appointing you was flawless.
00:46:58Preston, I need an update on the experimental surgery program.
00:47:02Everything's proceeding perfectly, Father.
00:47:04Outstanding.
00:47:05When this is done, I'll throw you a huge party to celebrate the launch.
00:47:09Your father must be so proud of you.
00:47:12Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:47:13I'll make sure my father understands your invaluable contribution.
00:47:18This is my shot.
00:47:19Why settle for chief of surgery?
00:47:21With the right maneuvering, I could become the next chief medical officer of Vale Hospital.
00:47:25Mr. Vale, my purpose is to execute the visionary medical strategies of brilliant administrators such as yourself.
00:47:34I believe that in the position of chief medical officer, I could implement your ideas more effectively throughout the entire hospital.
00:47:42If these procedures prove successful, I will personally discuss your advancement with the board.
00:47:47Truly, that's...
00:47:48I am profoundly grateful, sir.
00:47:54You're finally awake.
00:48:17You can keep appreciating the view while you eat.
00:48:21All right.
00:48:22Ooh, breakfast.
00:48:23Looks good.
00:48:27When you're finished eating, we'll head directly to the surgical wing.
00:48:31Sound good?
00:48:32Yes.
00:48:33Absolutely.
00:48:34Good.
00:48:36Get it up and running, and there may be a special bonus waiting for you.
00:48:44Extra special.
00:48:45Okay, team, we're approaching a critical phase of our program development.
00:48:58We have groundbreaking procedures that we need to perfect in very little time, so let's get to it.
00:49:04Start revolutionizing medicine.
00:49:05I have excellent news for all of you.
00:49:08I've just finalized arrangements with the board, and upon successful implementation of our surgical innovations, each of you will receive a fully funded medical mission trip anywhere in the world that you choose to share your expertise.
00:49:22And when the time comes that our procedures, and when the time comes that our procedures receive national certification, every surgeon on this team will be gifted a percentage of the royalties from any techniques we patent.
00:49:34At Heart Medical Center, our surgeons are the lifeblood of our institution, and you will be compensated accordingly.
00:49:44Dr. Heart, we are fully committed to making this surgical program a success.
00:49:52Absolutely.
00:49:53You'll be seeing progress ASAP.
00:49:55Vail Hospital won't know what hit them.
00:49:57With Adrian leading us, victory is guaranteed.
00:50:00Heart is best!
00:50:01Heart is best!
00:50:03Heart is best!
00:50:04Heart is best!
00:50:05Okay.
00:50:14Heart is best!
00:50:37You always this disciplined, or are you just trying to impress me?
00:50:41If I was trying to impress you, you'd even know.
00:50:46Midnight meetings, long hours, this work ethic of yours, it's a little dangerous.
00:50:58That's what Belle used to say about me.
00:51:01Then they fired me.
00:51:05Then they were fools.
00:51:06You've earned more than just respect here, Adrian.
00:51:12You know that, right?
00:51:18You trying to motivate me again?
00:51:21I don't try.
00:51:25I do.
00:51:29Well, don't work too late.
00:51:31You're no good to me, Burnt Out.
00:51:44The incompetence is, uh, is staggering.
00:51:49Yeah, you two are in way over your heads.
00:51:54Do you really think that this is acceptable?
00:51:56I give you one simple task, and you screw it up!
00:51:59How the hell did either of you even finish residency?
00:52:04Vail General Hospital is the gold standard,
00:52:07and you two are just standing around like clueless little interns.
00:52:11If these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow, you're both gone.
00:52:15Is that clear?
00:52:17Yes, sir.
00:52:18This is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team?
00:52:23Go.
00:52:24Go.
00:52:29Oh, Mr. Vail, what a, what a, what a surprise.
00:52:33Cut the bullshit, Marksman.
00:52:35Are we on schedule or not?
00:52:37Of course.
00:52:39We're, we're just refining the final stages.
00:52:43Yeah, everything is under control.
00:52:45Good.
00:52:46There's a problem.
00:52:47I expect to hear it from you.
00:52:48No cover-ups.
00:52:49Of course, sir.
00:52:53Mr. Vail.
00:52:54Not now.
00:52:55Go get me the latest performance reports.
00:53:00It, uh, looks like Preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here.
00:53:07Don't worry.
00:53:08When Preston makes me chief medical officer, I'm gonna need someone flexible in my corner.
00:53:14I respect the winning team, Dr. Marksman.
00:53:17Today, Vail Hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next-generation surgical program.
00:53:30This cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry,
00:53:36especially as Heart Medical's competing program was released on the same day.
00:53:41The question now is, who will define the future of surgery?
00:53:44Relax, Mr. Vail.
00:53:47Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance.
00:53:50I hope you're right.
00:53:53For your sake.
00:53:56Didn't you say that, uh, if the rollout went well, that you'd make me chief medical officer?
00:54:02It's not a success.
00:54:04Yet.
00:54:07Enjoy tonight's launch party.
00:54:08Because if our results don't outshine Heart Medical, it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long time.
00:54:26Dr. Hurt, we, uh, have a problem.
00:54:30Vail Hospital's new surgical program launches today.
00:54:33That soon?
00:54:34They're hosting a big celebration party tonight.
00:54:40It's a good thing we're ahead of them.
00:54:43You're saying we're ready?
00:54:45Why would I lie?
00:54:46We've been tracking Vail's every move.
00:54:49Let him celebrate.
00:54:50It's just gonna backfire.
00:54:52How exactly does that work in our favor?
00:54:55Viv, do you remember what I told you when you first brought me here?
00:55:00Preston Vail's rushing this.
00:55:02He's desperate to beat us to the market.
00:55:04And?
00:55:05Their model's flawed.
00:55:07If they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure and their approach,
00:55:11we won't have to lift a damn finger.
00:55:14And what about when it falls apart?
00:55:16Then Heart Medical takes over as the future of modern surgery.
00:55:20So you're saying that Vail Hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that you designed?
00:55:26It's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast.
00:55:28They're using an early draft full of mistakes that I won't make again.
00:55:33They don't even realize the cracks in their foundation.
00:55:36That actually makes perfect sense.
00:55:40Which means we've already won.
00:55:43Well, this is a big day for us.
00:55:45We should celebrate.
00:55:46What do you have in mind?
00:55:48Drinks?
00:55:48Not quite.
00:55:49You and I are crashing the Vail launch party tonight.
00:55:53What?
00:55:55Why?
00:55:56Let me worry about that.
00:55:57In the meantime, ensure a smooth rollout.
00:56:00Finish whatever procedures you need to.
00:56:02And meet me in the lobby at 8 p.m. sharp.
00:56:19Preston, we've been through so much together.
00:56:22I know where I'm headed in life, and I know who I want by my side.
00:56:27Tonight, at this launch party, celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program,
00:56:34isn't it the perfect moment to ask,
00:56:37will you marry me?
00:56:38It should be fun.
00:56:47Absolutely.
00:56:48You really know how to take care of your staff, Mr. Vail?
00:56:52Stop it.
00:56:52Too bad you're taken.
00:56:54Yeah.
00:56:54Yeah, what a shame.
00:56:56Where the fuck is Fiona?
00:56:57Told her meet me out here so we can go to this party together.
00:57:00Forget about her.
00:57:02She's just social climbing trash anyways.
00:57:04We'll show you a better time.
00:57:06What?
00:57:09Now that's an offer I can't refuse.
00:57:10Let's go.
00:57:11Fiona who?
00:57:15Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:57:17Let me get you off.
00:57:38The number you have dialed is unavailable.
00:57:42Please try again later.
00:57:43It's me.
00:57:45It's 20 in one day.
00:58:09All clean, all stable.
00:58:12Experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.
00:58:15You did it.
00:58:17No.
00:58:18We did it.
00:58:21Dr. Marksman, you have to get to Vail's launch party pronto.
00:58:25You're already late.
00:58:26I need a change there.
00:58:27You don't have time.
00:58:28Where's Vivian?
00:58:29Taking care of something.
00:58:31Taking care of something.
00:58:32She said it's really important that you be there and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:58:38Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vail Hospital's revolutionary surgical program.
00:58:42What the fuck?
00:58:58You're my date and you're wasted.
00:59:00I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.
00:59:03Yeah.
00:59:04God knows why I chose you, but I did.
00:59:06So if you want to keep your job and your status, sober up for God's sakes.
00:59:10Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?
00:59:32It's giving orderly sheep.
00:59:37Maybe he's here to bust tables.
00:59:40What are you doing at our launch party?
00:59:42You weren't invited.
00:59:44You so sure about that?
00:59:45I mean, look at you.
00:59:46This is a black tie?
00:59:47I mean, not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is.
00:59:51Oh, look who crawled in from the gutter.
00:59:55The failed surgeon.
00:59:57The fraud.
00:59:58The nobody.
01:00:00Showed to my party in dirty scrubs, Marksman?
01:00:03I thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the low lives.
01:00:07Guess I need to fire them too.
01:00:08Pardon me.
01:00:09I just came straight from surgery.
01:00:11Because some of us here are real surgeons.
01:00:13What are you trying to say?
01:00:15I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody, isn't me.
01:00:21I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.
01:00:28Got some nerve talking to my man Marksman like that.
01:00:32A genius like him leading our surgical team?
01:00:34You won't be able to get anywhere near our next party.
01:00:37Yeah, because it'll happen in prison.
01:00:39When you're all arrested for medical malpractice, criminal negligence, and identity theft.
01:00:45What are you talking about?
01:00:48Identity theft.
01:00:50Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?
01:00:53Yours?
01:00:54Let me give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.
01:00:57If you don't got it, just act like you do.
01:01:00Speaking from experience.
01:01:03Look around you.
01:01:05This is the elite among the elite.
01:01:07The best of the best in the medical field.
01:01:10Just because you waltz in here and you're dirty, cheap scrubs, doesn't make you one of us.
01:01:14Good.
01:01:15I'm glad, because you're all beneath me.
01:01:18Isn't that right, Dr. Marksman?
01:01:21That's enough.
01:01:22Guards, this former employee is threatening us.
01:01:26Kick him out.
01:01:28Touch me and you'll regret it.
01:01:32I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:01:36What are you dumbasses doing?
01:01:37Grab him.
01:01:38Preston.
01:01:39What the hell is this?
01:01:56Dad.
01:01:57Relax.
01:01:58I, uh...
01:01:59Relax?
01:01:59Relax?
01:01:59This twat came in uninvited.
01:02:02I was just kicking him out.
01:02:03Guards, remove him immediately.
01:02:05President Vail, it truly is an honor to finally meet you.
01:02:08You get out of my way.
01:02:10Dad, what are you doing?
01:02:11This is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...
01:02:15You are such a fool!
01:02:19Dad.
01:02:20What are you...
01:02:20What are you doing?
01:02:22Open your eyes, Preston.
01:02:24This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...
01:02:27You are a...
01:02:30Disgrace!
01:02:32Dad!
01:02:33My hospital meant something and...
01:02:36You turned it into a...
01:02:38Into a...
01:02:39Oh!
01:02:40Dad!
01:02:41Dad!
01:02:46Dad!
01:02:48President Vail, fuck away from my dad!
01:02:52Are you out of your mind?
01:02:53He is the best surgeon in this room.
01:02:55Oh, yeah, like you give a shit about saving my dad.
01:02:57I'll die before I trust you, too.
01:02:59Somebody get me a real doctor!
01:03:01David!
01:03:01David!
01:03:03It's cold!
01:03:03It's cold!
01:03:08Can't think of what to do next?
01:03:10Blanking?
01:03:11Can't think of a diagnosis?
01:03:13Shut up!
01:03:14Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?
01:03:17This is ridiculous.
01:03:18I thought this David guy was a genius.
01:03:21You're just standing there.
01:03:22Do something!
01:03:24What's the matter, David?
01:03:25If you need help, just ask.
01:03:29All you have to do is admit what you did.
01:03:31Right here.
01:03:32Right now.
01:03:33I can't blow my cover, but...
01:03:36What if I kill him?
01:03:38I don't know anything about surgeries.
01:03:40I don't even know what's wrong with them.
01:03:43I did medical school on Zoom.
01:03:45David, this is a matter of life and death.
01:03:49Let it go!
01:03:50I...
01:03:52I...
01:03:53I...
01:03:54I can't.
01:03:57I can't do this.
01:03:59Okay, I can't...
01:04:01I can't do this.
01:04:02I can't do this without my notebook.
01:04:06That's my surgical notebook.
01:04:11He stole it from me.
01:04:19Okay, okay.
01:04:21I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.
01:04:24I can't do this.
01:04:25I can't do this.
01:04:26Okay.
01:04:27Okay.
01:04:28I got it.
01:04:29I got it.
01:04:30Here.
01:04:31Take it.
01:04:32Take it.
01:04:33Okay.
01:04:34All right.
01:04:35Hold his head.
01:04:36But tilt it back and apply pressure here.
01:04:39Okay.
01:04:50Okay.
01:04:52Okay.
01:04:53Great.
01:04:54Four.
01:04:55Five.
01:05:00Oh, thank God.
01:05:01How are you doing?
01:05:02What up?
01:05:07Oh, that's my guy.
01:05:10Surgical genius.
01:05:11Oh.
01:05:12That's how Val makes history.
01:05:14Somebody get this man a medal.
01:05:16Or at least a new department.
01:05:18If you still want that chief medical officer position, say the word.
01:05:22Val, do I have to have somebody escort you out?
01:05:27That maneuver.
01:05:29That notebook.
01:05:30It's mine.
01:05:31Then tell them.
01:05:32Where is he going?
01:05:37Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program at another fake hospital.
01:05:42Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?
01:05:45Say, why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life?
01:05:52That procedure David used, I invented it.
01:05:55What kind of crack are you smoking?
01:05:58He's delusional.
01:06:00Somebody seriously check this guy's medical license.
01:06:03The notebook he used to save your father.
01:06:06That's mine.
01:06:08My handwriting.
01:06:09My theories.
01:06:11I'm just pissed because he did what you couldn't.
01:06:15I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories as innovation.
01:06:19And when it fails.
01:06:22And it will.
01:06:24You're not the ones that'll pay for it.
01:06:26The patients will.
01:06:27You can't prove that.
01:06:29Not yet.
01:06:31But you can't fake medicine.
01:06:34Medicine and science always tell the truth.
01:06:41Our three's vitals just dropped.
01:06:42We've got uncontrolled bleeding.
01:06:43Second patient today.
01:06:44Same issue.
01:06:45Vessel ligation failed mid-operation.
01:06:47These techniques aren't viable.
01:06:49The veil method doesn't hold under stress.
01:06:52I mean, come on.
01:06:54Tonight proves it.
01:06:55We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country.
01:07:06I'll be right back.
01:07:08Just coordinating with the team.
01:07:12Talk to me.
01:07:13The vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again.
01:07:15This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.
01:07:20Use the compression step.
01:07:22That only works in controlled scenarios.
01:07:24We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.
01:07:28Look, just follow the notes.
01:07:29I designed those techniques for 101 guidance, not mass implementation.
01:07:39Without calibration.
01:07:41It's unstable.
01:07:42It's dangerous.
01:07:43They tried to commercialize your success without you.
01:07:46Now people are paying for it.
01:07:47All good?
01:07:50Of course.
01:07:52Just routine coordination.
01:07:54Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.
01:07:58Your surgical program is failing.
01:08:00And patients are suffering.
01:08:02You've been out of the field for months.
01:08:03You wouldn't know?
01:08:04Yeah, I would know.
01:08:05Because the procedures that you're butchering, I invented.
01:08:09And I'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing.
01:08:14Bullshit.
01:08:15Oh, yes, this is Dr. Marksman.
01:08:22Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:08:26Okay, listen very carefully.
01:08:29Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.
01:08:37No, you need to perform a Marksman-modified Pringle maneuver with selective hepatic arterial ligation, followed by a rapid sequence vascular anatomosis using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures.
01:08:52Yes.
01:08:54Yes.
01:08:57How do we even know he made a phone call?
01:09:00His whole thing is performance, a charade.
01:09:03You stole his methods.
01:09:04This entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork.
01:09:10Uh, that's a lie.
01:09:11Then prove me wrong.
01:09:13Show them all a technique that I didn't create.
01:09:18Why would we believe anything he says?
01:09:21He was fired.
01:09:23You're right, I was fired.
01:09:25And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary.
01:09:30You know what?
01:09:31This is pathetic.
01:09:32He's just jealous.
01:09:33He missed his shot.
01:09:35Is that what you told yourself?
01:09:37When you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal?
01:09:40Even if that were true, this isn't the time or the place.
01:09:45I think it's exactly the time and place.
01:09:47I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator.
01:10:02And thanks to Adrian's guidance, our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients.
01:10:05Adrian just cleaned up your mess.
01:10:08You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready and you fired him.
01:10:16The one person who could make them safe.
01:10:19Dad?
01:10:22You don't see the full picture here.
01:10:24Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.
01:10:26This hospital was built on trust and integrity.
01:10:30And you've disgraced them both.
01:10:31Your father nearly died because of your ego.
01:10:36Because of his lies.
01:10:38You saved me.
01:10:41You saved Nelson.
01:10:43And now you can save Vale.
01:10:46Tried to warn you all.
01:10:48No one listened.
01:10:50They're listening now.
01:10:52You deserve to be at Vale more than either of those two.
01:10:56And probably even more than me.
01:10:59It was a mistake to let you go.
01:11:01Months ago, I was fired from Vale Hospital with procedures still in development.
01:11:07They weren't ready.
01:11:09They needed supervision.
01:11:11Precision.
01:11:13Development.
01:11:14Instead, someone took my notes and tried to fast track them for glory.
01:11:18Oh, you can't prove that.
01:11:20Security footage.
01:11:24Of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital.
01:11:29Already submitted to the board.
01:11:32I built on what he started.
01:11:35Okay?
01:11:36I didn't steal.
01:11:38I enhanced it.
01:11:39Then why were patients about to die?
01:11:42You falsified rollout readiness?
01:11:45He did more than that.
01:11:47He put lives at risk.
01:11:49To prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program.
01:11:53We're going to need to open a formal investigation on this.
01:11:56This is absurd.
01:11:58This was supposed to be our night.
01:11:59Oh, it's your night.
01:12:01It's just not the way you thought it'd be.
01:12:04You lied to me.
01:12:06I didn't lie.
01:12:07I simplified the truth.
01:12:09Simplify?
01:12:11You could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people.
01:12:15You nearly killed the president of the hospital.
01:12:17You passed up experimental procedures as launch ready?
01:12:20That's malpractice.
01:12:22They worked.
01:12:24Nelson's alive. Look, the patients, they're alive.
01:12:27Yeah, because of me.
01:12:29Those methods require sequential tensioning, breath control, special clamp techniques.
01:12:33Getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death.
01:12:36Wait, these really are your techniques.
01:12:39I tested them for years.
01:12:41It was never meant for mass rollout.
01:12:44Not without training.
01:12:45You're rewriting history?
01:12:46No, you tried to erase him from it.
01:12:50Adrian Marksman was the reason that Vale's program had a future.
01:12:55And without him, it won't.
01:12:57This is absurd!
01:12:59You're siding with this disgraced former resident?
01:13:01He's not disgraced, son. You are.
01:13:06You hijacked a program you didn't understand.
01:13:09And then when your ego wasn't enough, you propped up this fraud.
01:13:15Taking his side, Dad?
01:13:18I'm your son.
01:13:20I'm taking the side of truth.
01:13:22And so will the board.
01:13:24We will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning.
01:13:26Until then, both of you are suspended from all surgical and administrative duties.
01:13:32Suspended?
01:13:33No, no, you can't do that.
01:13:34You don't understand the politics of running a hospital.
01:13:37We understand the liability.
01:13:38That's enough.
01:13:41Mr. Preston Vale.
01:13:43Dr. David Marksman.
01:13:45Come with us.
01:13:47Dad.
01:13:48You're not going to let him drag me out like this.
01:13:49I'm your son.
01:13:50No.
01:13:51Don't you touch me.
01:13:52You're not a child.
01:13:54Dad!
01:13:55You're not a child!
01:13:56You're not my responsibility.
01:13:58Oh.
01:13:59Adrian, please.
01:14:00I made a mistake.
01:14:01I see that now.
01:14:02I should have believed in you.
01:14:03I should have stood by you.
01:14:05You were right about everything.
01:14:07Just give me a second chance.
01:14:08Adrian, please
01:14:12I made a mistake
01:14:14I see that now
01:14:15I should have believed in you
01:14:16I should have stood by you
01:14:18You were right about everything
01:14:20Just give me a second chance
01:14:25Please
01:14:27I still love you
01:14:29Love
01:14:31You traded him the second someone flashier walked by
01:14:34You don't understand
01:14:36I thought he was finished
01:14:38I thought he had nothing left
01:14:41So you sold him out
01:14:42Mocked him
01:14:44Over and over again
01:14:46I was scared
01:14:48I didn't know what to do
01:14:50Oh, you knew
01:14:51You just didn't care
01:14:52Not until you realized that the horse you bet on
01:14:56Turned out to be a loser
01:14:57Please
01:14:58Say something
01:15:00Anything
01:15:02You had your chance, Fiona
01:15:04And you spent it holding Preston's arm
01:15:07While they tried to bury me alive
01:15:09You always belonged in my operating room
01:15:20And I should have fought harder to keep you
01:15:23If I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes
01:15:26The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board
01:15:31And David will never go near another patient again
01:15:35We're rebuilding
01:15:36And I want you back
01:15:38As Vale's chief
01:15:40Of experimental surgery
01:15:42I'm sorry, Dr. Vale
01:15:45You had your chance, too
01:15:48I'm not the same man that you fired
01:15:50Well, all the more reason we need you back at Vale
01:15:54Adrian 2.0
01:15:57I'm not coming back
01:15:58You're choosing her?
01:16:02Our rival?
01:16:04You arrogant little ingrate
01:16:06I open the door for you
01:16:07And you slam it in my face
01:16:10Just typical
01:16:11Just when you had your moment
01:16:14You turned your back on it
01:16:16For, for what, her?
01:16:18She's just gonna use you up
01:16:19And toss you aside like everyone else
01:16:22Oh, projecting much, Nelson
01:16:24Get me out of here
01:16:26Now!
01:16:45Karma has good timing
01:16:46Speaking of timing
01:16:50We should get back to work
01:16:52We have lives to save
01:16:54Hey
01:16:55Not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon
01:17:00I still owe you that
01:17:02Extra special bonus
01:17:04Now?
01:17:07We'll just spend a time like the present
01:17:08This is what victory tastes like
01:17:18It's not bad
01:17:20I need a second opinion
01:17:22Well, I've got all night
01:17:26And you're not leaving this room
01:17:28Until I've properly celebrated
01:17:30My genius surgeon
01:17:32Should I be afraid of a performance review?
01:17:35You're already exceeding expectations
01:17:37But I am very thorough
01:17:40Getting fired
01:17:48Getting fired was the best thing
01:17:49That ever happened to me
01:17:50Besides meeting you, of course
01:17:53I don't know
01:17:54I was about to thank you for spending more timeía on KIn Aqui
01:17:56Just next time to try and to take out your place
01:17:58I was gonna make love?
01:17:58I was on you
01:18:00Who do I ever went on?
01:18:02I was gonna make love
01:18:03I did leave
01:18:05And he just, you know
01:18:05But I have a fate
01:18:06I didn't give money
01:18:07I didn't give money
