Short filmTranscript
00:00:00A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city,
00:00:05sending a surge of critically injured patients flooding into Bale Hospital's emergency department.
00:00:10The fate of these accident victims now rests in the hands of Bale's surgical team,
00:00:15their last hope for survival in the face of devastating trauma.
00:00:19Facials crashing! We need an attending surgeon now!
00:00:22All the hours are full. We got three more criticals incoming.
00:00:25Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding.
00:00:28Well, I can't leave this one. Where's Dr. Stevens?
00:00:31We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the ER.
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?
00:00:59The patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:01Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman. The patient's yours.
00:01:10Okay, we are going to perform a modified Whipple.
00:01:13Whipple? For trauma? That's insane.
00:01:16Trust me.
00:01:17Medicine bomb scissors.
00:01:19Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:23That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive.
00:01:25Bovey Cottery.
00:01:26Watch.
00:01:27He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:29The bleeding? It's under control.
00:01:30But how did he...?
00:01:31Tilk suture.
00:01:32Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:01:36I've never seen anything like this.
00:01:37Almost done.
00:01:38I've never seen anything like this.
00:01:39Almost done.
00:01:40I've never seen anything like this.
00:01:41Almost done.
00:01:42What's the name of Dr. Rhodes?
00:01:43He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:44The bleeding? It's under control.
00:01:45But how did he...?
00:01:47I've never seen anything like this.
00:01:49Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:02:01I've never seen anything like this.
00:02:04Almost done.
00:02:13This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:19Jesus, Adrian.
00:02:25What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:02:28I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but that, that was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed.
00:02:34Where did you learn to operate like that?
00:02:36What you just did will go down in the history books.
00:02:39Wait.
00:02:40I heard President Bale personally recruited a medical prodigy who revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.
00:02:47Is that you?
00:02:47Final suture.
00:02:56Miss Bale's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:03:03Doctor.
00:03:03The nurses, they said you did it, and you, you actually did.
00:03:11Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.
00:03:17Every surgeon on the West Coast said it was inoperable, that she only had weeks to live, but you, you saved my Catherine.
00:03:26She'll make a full recovery, President Bale.
00:03:28Name your price, whatever it is.
00:03:30We need you at Vail, my hospital.
00:03:35Look, I'll explain later.
00:03:36Right now we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.
00:03:40It's going to take hours.
00:03:42Y'all should go home, get some rest.
00:03:44I'll take over from here.
00:03:46Okay.
00:03:48Good work, everyone.
00:03:49Good work, everyone.
00:04:19They're all stable.
00:04:23Every single one of them, stabilized.
00:04:29Oh, the sun's coming up.
00:04:32You must have operated all night.
00:04:34You're a machine.
00:04:36Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
00:04:37All right.
00:04:40It's time for some much-needed Shaddai.
00:04:42Hey, you.
00:05:00Hey, yourself.
00:05:02I've been operating all night.
00:05:06I saved every single patient in that pileup.
00:05:10What you did was extraordinary.
00:05:11How do you always know exactly what I needed?
00:05:16Because I know you.
00:05:18Better than anyone.
00:05:19Go there.
00:05:26Your favorite.
00:05:28You remembered.
00:05:30Where's your dad?
00:05:30You know, I've been thinking lately about us.
00:05:37I know it's only been a month, but it just feels different.
00:05:41It's the third time this week.
00:05:51Hospital food's better than someone else's.
00:05:53Hmm.
00:05:55So who's this marksman guy?
00:05:57His surgical skills are unreal.
00:05:58Sure.
00:05:59I thought he was just another new hire.
00:06:01I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:06:04With a talent like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department right now.
00:06:07What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?
00:06:17Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.
00:06:23Who is this guy?
00:06:26Preston Bale, Preston Bale's son, Harvard MBA.
00:06:29He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife,
00:06:33who just recovered from an experimental pancreatic duodenectomy.
00:06:37I'm sorry, am I looking at two board-certified surgeons or med school dropouts?
00:06:44Hard to tell based on your behavior.
00:06:46Sir, about last...
00:06:47Save it!
00:06:49Parker.
00:06:50You couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:06:54You're fired.
00:06:56Clear out your office.
00:06:57New management means new standards.
00:07:00It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.
00:07:05Attention!
00:07:06And everybody's attention now.
00:07:09If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs, every surgery must be perfect.
00:07:15No complications, no deaths.
00:07:18This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:07:22Who's he thinking he is?
00:07:23Dr. House?
00:07:24What is this?
00:07:28Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:07:31Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:07:35This is a hospital.
00:07:37We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
00:07:41That was from my residency direction.
00:07:43Oh, cry me a river.
00:07:44Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients and a little less time collecting gold stars, you'd be a real doctor.
00:07:52You're fired.
00:07:53Excuse me?
00:07:54Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.
00:07:58Yes, sir.
00:08:00Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?
00:08:04That was good.
00:08:05Let's go.
00:08:06Well, well, well.
00:08:12What do we have here?
00:08:14Sleeping after a shift?
00:08:17Rise and shine, superstar.
00:08:23Did I order a wake-up call?
00:08:25No, you didn't.
00:08:27But here's one anyway.
00:08:28You are fired.
00:08:33Are you serious?
00:08:34You're firing me?
00:08:36Do you need me to draw you a diagram, doctor?
00:08:39Well, no, but there must be some sort of mistake.
00:08:42Fiona, what's his position here?
00:08:46He's a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.
00:08:50What's he make?
00:08:51$700,000.
00:08:53That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
00:08:55$700?
00:08:57Are you insane?
00:08:58You're giving resident money to a first-year who sleeps on the job?
00:09:01This hospital is being scammed.
00:09:03I just worked all night, okay?
00:09:06I'm just taking a nap.
00:09:07Also, now you're expecting overtime pay.
00:09:10I've seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.
00:09:14What were you thinking hiring this fraud?
00:09:16Are they as dumb as these hack surgeons, or this is some sort of insurance scam?
00:09:20Adrian and I might be sleeping together, but I can't let him drag me down.
00:09:26My career comes first.
00:09:28Boy, bye.
00:09:30There must be some clerical error.
00:09:32These credentials.
00:09:34Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:09:37Fiona.
00:09:38Dr. Marksman.
00:09:42You are F-I-R-E-D.
00:09:46Fire.
00:09:47Clear out your office.
00:09:49Clear out your locker.
00:09:51Or get the hell out of my hospital.
00:09:53This is a mistake, okay?
00:09:55You need to check the surgical lock.
00:09:56You don't get to wear that.
00:09:57Or...
00:09:58I see.
00:10:07Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:10:10You don't understand.
00:10:11He's the one who...
00:10:12Didn't I fire you two already?
00:10:15Beat it.
00:10:16Vale is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:10:18Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:10:28I understand.
00:10:40Hospital politics.
00:10:42Look, I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.
00:10:46Meet me in the lobby after your shift.
00:10:49I'll be waiting.
00:10:58You care to explain that little exchange?
00:11:05The board won't like this.
00:11:07Four attendings dismissed in one day.
00:11:09Patient care will suffer.
00:11:11Fear is a weapon, Fiona.
00:11:13I intend to wield it.
00:11:15Or perhaps you're more concerned with one surgeon in particular?
00:11:19Your little scam artist situation ship?
00:11:22No, Preston.
00:11:23He means nothing to me.
00:11:25Really.
00:11:26I have no personal stake in your staffing decision.
00:11:27Let's be clear about your future here.
00:11:31Do you want to be with the nobody collecting unemployment checks?
00:11:35Or the man who signs everyone's paychecks, including yours?
00:11:41The man who signs everyone's paychecks.
00:11:45Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded who's in charge around here.
00:11:50Hey, Dad.
00:11:59What's wrong?
00:12:00Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.
00:12:02She'll be okay, but I need you to take full control of the hospital.
00:12:07And, Preston, there's something critical you need to know.
00:12:10Of course.
00:12:10What is it?
00:12:11That new surgeon, Dr. Marksman?
00:12:14Whatever happens, make sure you take care of him.
00:12:17Dr. Marksman?
00:12:18Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired.
00:12:21Get out of my hospital.
00:12:23Christ.
00:12:24The resident I just fired?
00:12:27Preston?
00:12:28Are you there?
00:12:30Check the staff roster.
00:12:31Let's see if we have another marksman working for us here.
00:12:36I had to back up the brakes truck to get him here.
00:12:40He's a surgeon who saved your mother's life.
00:12:42And he's pioneering our experimental surgery program.
00:12:46The hospital's reputation rests on his work.
00:12:49Ah, yes.
00:12:56I see now there's another surgeon attending with that name.
00:12:59Dr. Marksman, pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
00:13:04Two-time Florence Nightingale, medal recipient for medical excellence.
00:13:08Three-times Apex award winner for clinical research.
00:13:10Is this who you mean, Dad?
00:13:11That's our man.
00:13:12There's another surgeon with the same last name who's been a disaster for us.
00:13:16Negligent, lazy, you name it.
00:13:19Do me a favor.
00:13:20Fire him.
00:13:22Already done, Dad.
00:13:23I fired his slacker ass this morning.
00:13:26Thank God.
00:13:27Almost thought I fired our star surgeon.
00:13:30Good work, son.
00:13:32I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
00:13:35Just, uh, just take care of Mom, all right?
00:13:37I got everything else under control.
00:13:46See?
00:13:46I told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless.
00:13:50Now, about your career trajectory.
00:13:54Mr. Vale, sir.
00:13:55Can't you see I'm busy?
00:13:57Multiple traumas incoming.
00:13:59The six-car pileup.
00:14:00You fired half our surgery team.
00:14:01What's your point?
00:14:02ER is crashing.
00:14:04We've no one left who can handle it.
00:14:05Give me the situation.
00:14:13Now.
00:14:14Six critical traumas.
00:14:16Three more incoming.
00:14:17Multiple crush injuries.
00:14:19Arterial bleed, sir.
00:14:20We're losing patients.
00:14:22What are our options?
00:14:23There might be one solution.
00:14:25Well, spit it out.
00:14:27Dr. Marksman.
00:14:28He handled four critical traumas alone last night.
00:14:30If we can get him back here.
00:14:32Marksman.
00:14:33Right.
00:14:33That's the man we need.
00:14:34Fiona?
00:14:35Call him.
00:14:35Which Dr. Marksman should I?
00:14:38The genius surgeon.
00:14:39The one I didn't fire.
00:14:40Keep up.
00:14:41What the hell?
00:14:47Where'd all this stuff go?
00:15:04Idiot left his research notes.
00:15:08Modified trauma protocol.
00:15:11Wait.
00:15:13These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:15:17Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:15:22Hello?
00:15:24Dr. Marksman.
00:15:25Multiple critical traumas in the ER.
00:15:27Preston Vale says if you can handle this crisis,
00:15:29there's a monster promotion waiting.
00:15:32I'm on my way.
00:15:36With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.
00:15:39They'll make me department head.
00:15:42And I can finally make seven figures.
00:15:50Well?
00:15:52Dr. Marksman's on his way.
00:15:53Thank God.
00:16:04Now, about your loyalty.
00:16:07Adrian meant nothing.
00:16:09I was using him to advance my career.
00:16:12You're my future.
00:16:13That's my girl.
00:16:15Beyond a shift in it an hour ago,
00:16:25the boss's son is up to something.
00:16:28To hell with this.
00:16:29I'm going up.
00:16:30Piece of shit.
00:16:50Get your hand off my girl.
00:16:51Oh, just knock it off, Adrian.
00:16:56You mean to tell me that the brilliant surgeon
00:16:58can't see what's been happening under his own nose?
00:17:01You mean to tell me that you've been messing around
00:17:03with this incompetent Nepo baby?
00:17:05I can choose who I want.
00:17:06And I don't want a disgrace surgeon with no future.
00:17:09You pathetic loser.
00:17:10We're done, Adrian.
00:17:28Ancient history.
00:17:30Are you serious?
00:17:32Just like that.
00:17:34Sorry that this bum wrinkled your jacket, sir.
00:17:36Why are you doing this, Fiona?
00:17:41Am I just a stepping stone to you?
00:17:43I need someone with a future,
00:17:44not someone who sleeps while patients are dying.
00:17:51Keep it for when you get lonely and horny.
00:17:54It's the closest you'll ever come to the real thing again.
00:17:59Look at us, Adrian.
00:18:03I'm the future of Vail Hospital,
00:18:05and you are just a slacker and scrubs.
00:18:12You're washed up, marksman.
00:18:14Perhaps try nursing?
00:18:16I hear they're always hiring.
00:18:18Fiona, I met you here,
00:18:19and it made me want to stay.
00:18:22I thought we could build a family together.
00:18:25Get over yourself.
00:18:27You think I'm going to stay with someone
00:18:28who lied about their credentials?
00:18:30President Vail would never have hired someone
00:18:33who sleeps during shifts.
00:18:37We're done.
00:18:39I'm not done.
00:18:41But when I am,
00:18:42there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.
00:18:46You can count on that.
00:18:47No, no, no.
00:18:51Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.
00:18:53Your troubles are just getting started.
00:18:59He'll authorize you to be here.
00:19:01Mr. Vail,
00:19:02I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision,
00:19:04we've stabilized all the patients
00:19:06from the multi-car accident,
00:19:07and the situation is completely under control.
00:19:11You're Dr. Marksman.
00:19:13Ah, yes.
00:19:13The very same.
00:19:14My father mentioned your
00:19:16exceptional credentials.
00:19:18Harvard Medical, was it?
00:19:20These morons have no idea
00:19:23I'm taking credit for Adrian's
00:19:24revolutionary techniques.
00:19:26As long as the boss's son is impressed,
00:19:28I'll be chief of surgery by next month.
00:19:31Mr. Vail,
00:19:31I've identified who's responsible
00:19:33for all the issues in OR3 today.
00:19:36He was sleeping.
00:19:37Well, the patient almost died on the table.
00:19:40Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
00:19:50Dr. Hart.
00:19:52Incredible news.
00:19:54Dr. Adrian Marksman,
00:19:55that surgical pioneer
00:19:56that you've been tracking,
00:19:58he's just been terminated
00:19:59from Vail Hospital.
00:20:01When?
00:20:02Less than an hour ago.
00:20:04Dismissed by President Vail's son.
00:20:06Oh, amazing.
00:20:10I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face
00:20:12when he discovers
00:20:13that his Price Surgeon
00:20:15was fired by his submental son.
00:20:18With, uh, respect,
00:20:19we're still establishing our reputation.
00:20:22Would someone of Marksman's caliber
00:20:24even consider joining us?
00:20:26We'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:20:28Full department autonomy.
00:20:30Full department autonomy.
00:20:32Research funding.
00:20:33State-of-the-art facilities.
00:20:36And if necessary,
00:20:38my personal involvement.
00:20:40His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.
00:20:45Have my car brought round.
00:20:47I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.
00:20:50And Adrian Marksman,
00:20:51he's leaving with me.
00:20:59Malfeasance.
00:21:00What kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:21:02Now, don't insult our intelligence.
00:21:04A patient coded while you were off taking a nap.
00:21:07The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental.
00:21:09Yet you stand there denying it.
00:21:11This is crazy.
00:21:12You've all passed me off
00:21:13as some second-rate surgeon.
00:21:15And when a complication occurs,
00:21:16which happened in this hospital
00:21:18under your incompetent leadership,
00:21:21you blame me?
00:21:24The collective medical knowledge in this room
00:21:26isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.
00:21:29If you were even half the surgeon
00:21:31that you claim to be,
00:21:32you would still have a job.
00:21:35I'm not going to stand here
00:21:36and debate medicine with you
00:21:37in front of Mr. Vail.
00:21:38Security, please detain him.
00:21:46What exactly are you accusing me of?
00:21:48Either confess to medical malfeasance
00:21:51or they'll escort you to the police
00:21:53for criminal negligence.
00:21:56Adrian, I never realized
00:21:57you were capable of endangering patients.
00:22:00What other medical atrocities have you committed?
00:22:02You better confess now
00:22:04or we'll do everything in your power
00:22:05to make sure you lose your medical license.
00:22:09Fine.
00:22:10Go ahead.
00:22:11Do your worst.
00:22:13Let's see if a single piece of evidence
00:22:14holds up in front of the medical board.
00:22:16You really
00:22:19underestimate my family's influence,
00:22:21don't you?
00:22:23Don't you realize that Mr. Vail here
00:22:24can end your entire career
00:22:26with one phone call?
00:22:27Sir, I strongly recommend
00:22:29that we make an example out of him.
00:22:31After all, he'll be a danger
00:22:32to his patients wherever he goes.
00:22:34Preston, you can't let him walk away after this.
00:22:37Not after what he did to our patients.
00:22:40I'm contacting the medical board right now.
00:22:43As of this moment,
00:22:45Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted
00:22:47from Vail Hospital
00:22:48and every medical institute in the country.
00:22:50Plans in motion, Adrian.
00:22:52Do you know what that means?
00:22:54It means that you
00:22:55will never practice medicine
00:22:57in this country again.
00:22:58I have one question before I go.
00:23:03Does your father know you fired me?
00:23:06My father's the one
00:23:07who asked me to fire you,
00:23:08you dipshit.
00:23:11You thought you were
00:23:12some brilliant surgical god,
00:23:14didn't you?
00:23:15Security, remove this criminal
00:23:17from hospital property immediately.
00:23:19Immediately.
00:23:20Yes, doctor.
00:23:21Right away, sir.
00:23:24That's quite enough.
00:23:25Let him go.
00:23:40Dr. Marksman
00:23:41is about to accept the position
00:23:43as chief of surgical innovation
00:23:45at Heart Medical Center.
00:23:49I know you.
00:23:51You're Vivian Heart,
00:23:52the surgical upstart
00:23:53from that medical clinic across town.
00:23:55That's Dr. Vivian Heart to you,
00:23:58Mr. Vail.
00:24:00Vivian?
00:24:01I haven't seen you
00:24:01since the John Hopkins Symposium
00:24:03like four or five years ago.
00:24:05What are you doing here?
00:24:06Well, I'm here for the most
00:24:08innovative surgeon
00:24:09in the country, of course.
00:24:11Wait.
00:24:12Are you seriously suggesting
00:24:14this negligent doctor has value?
00:24:16He was sleeping during rounds.
00:24:18Is this how Vail Hospital
00:24:20discards its exceptional talent?
00:24:21Your father built this institution's reputation
00:24:25of medical excellence,
00:24:27not petty politics.
00:24:30Dr. Hart,
00:24:31with all due respect...
00:24:33This is a conversation
00:24:34between medical directors.
00:24:35Someone in your position
00:24:36should recognize
00:24:37when to maintain silence.
00:24:39Dr. Hart,
00:24:40I must inform you
00:24:41that Dr. Marksman
00:24:42represents a serious liability.
00:24:44He compromised
00:24:45patient safety and...
00:24:47I don't believe I requested
00:24:48your medical opinion,
00:24:49Dr....
00:24:49Marksman.
00:24:51David Marksman.
00:24:52I have neither time
00:24:53nor interest
00:24:54in your assessment.
00:24:57After he
00:24:58decided to go to sleep,
00:25:00we had a critical
00:25:01surgical complication.
00:25:03His negligence
00:25:03led to the problem.
00:25:05His actions
00:25:06not only endangered patients,
00:25:07it compromised
00:25:08my hospital's reputation.
00:25:10Are you really willing
00:25:12to defend someone
00:25:13who violates
00:25:14the Hippocratic Oath?
00:25:15Did you actually consult
00:25:17with your father
00:25:17before dismissing
00:25:18Dr. Marksman?
00:25:19Of course I consulted
00:25:21my father.
00:25:24He's the one
00:25:25who specifically
00:25:25mentioned his
00:25:26dangerous surgical
00:25:27shortcuts
00:25:27and inflated reputation.
00:25:30Dangerous shortcuts?
00:25:32Is that what
00:25:32President Vail
00:25:33really said?
00:25:34His exact words were
00:25:35remove him
00:25:36at first opportunity.
00:25:38President Vail
00:25:38was the one
00:25:39that recruited me.
00:25:39This makes
00:25:40absolutely no sense.
00:25:41Please, Adrian.
00:25:42The president
00:25:43wouldn't personally
00:25:44recruit a mid-level
00:25:45surgeon like you.
00:25:46Those gala invitations
00:25:48were professional courtesy,
00:25:50not genuine respect.
00:25:52Well, if that's the way
00:25:53things work at Vail,
00:25:54I have nothing more
00:25:55to contribute
00:25:55to any of you.
00:25:57Dr. Marksman,
00:25:59would you consider
00:25:59joining Heart Medical Center
00:26:01as our chief of surgery?
00:26:04Well, I...
00:26:05Full department autonomy,
00:26:07protected research time,
00:26:08a surgical fellowship
00:26:10in your name,
00:26:11and a seven-figure
00:26:13salary package.
00:26:38And Cash.
00:26:46Dr. Marksman,
00:26:48I want you to revolutionize
00:26:49our surgery program.
00:26:51Hopefully this shows you.
00:26:53I mean what I say.
00:27:01Chief of surgery?
00:27:02You're offering all this
00:27:06to a surgeon
00:27:07who can't even
00:27:08keep his eyes open
00:27:09on the job?
00:27:10Dr. Hart,
00:27:11have you completely
00:27:12lost your medical judgment
00:27:13or are you on drugs?
00:27:14This is absurd.
00:27:16He was a mediocre surgeon
00:27:17here at Vail,
00:27:18and now you're
00:27:20positioning him
00:27:20to lead your entire
00:27:21surgical department?
00:27:24The medical board
00:27:25should review
00:27:26your hiring practices.
00:27:29Vivian,
00:27:30I appreciate
00:27:31your confidence.
00:27:33This isn't about money.
00:27:36Maybe there's
00:27:37something beyond
00:27:37professional opportunity
00:27:39that might interest you.
00:27:41She's offering
00:27:42herself up to him.
00:27:43She can't do that.
00:27:44Are you a doctor
00:27:45or a call girl?
00:27:47At Hart Medical Center,
00:27:48you will be given
00:27:49everything a surgeon
00:27:50of your caliber deserves,
00:27:52including
00:27:53a boss that would do
00:27:55absolutely anything
00:27:56to recognize your value.
00:27:58And I do mean
00:27:59anything Dr. Marksman
00:28:00Dr. Hart,
00:28:04for the sake
00:28:05of your own reputation,
00:28:06you need to know
00:28:07that this hack
00:28:07you're so eagerly pursuing
00:28:09has a documented
00:28:10history of negligence.
00:28:12My father
00:28:13confirmed it himself.
00:28:15Is that precisely
00:28:16what Nelson Bale
00:28:17told you?
00:28:18His exact words.
00:28:20Negligence, Serge.
00:28:22What are those?
00:28:25Personal gifts
00:28:26from your father?
00:28:27My fellowship offer?
00:28:31My personal research lab?
00:28:34My surgical team?
00:28:36I'm leaving it all behind.
00:28:39You can tell
00:28:40President Vail
00:28:41that as of this moment,
00:28:42Dr. Marksman
00:28:43has permanently withdrawn
00:28:44from Vail Hospital
00:28:46and all of its
00:28:47affiliated institutions.
00:28:49You know what?
00:28:50Spare us the theatrics,
00:28:51Adrian.
00:28:52You never deserve
00:28:53those privileges
00:28:53in the first place.
00:28:54The medical board
00:28:56is going to see
00:28:56that justice is done.
00:28:58Oh,
00:28:59your stupidity,
00:29:01it's just
00:29:02astonishing.
00:29:04You treat pioneering surgeons
00:29:05like disposable scalpels.
00:29:07This man
00:29:08is a life-saving artist.
00:29:14Dr. Hart,
00:29:15I understand
00:29:16there's some competition
00:29:17between your center
00:29:18and Vail Hospital.
00:29:19Yeah, look,
00:29:20I'll be real.
00:29:21We're struggling
00:29:22to get out
00:29:23from under their shadow.
00:29:24Look,
00:29:24I'd be happy
00:29:25to help you out with that.
00:29:26Take me on
00:29:27and I'll transform Hart
00:29:28into the number one
00:29:29surgical institution
00:29:30in the country.
00:29:33Look at yourself,
00:29:34Adrian,
00:29:35offering your skills
00:29:36to a struggling clinic.
00:29:37How pathetically desperate.
00:29:40Oh,
00:29:41a backstabbing
00:29:42bottom feeder
00:29:43like you
00:29:43has absolutely
00:29:44no right
00:29:45to judge a surgeon
00:29:46of his caliber.
00:29:47How dare you
00:29:47talk to me like that!
00:29:48Your malpractice
00:29:50has caused
00:29:51catastrophic damage
00:29:53to my hospital's reputation.
00:29:55As the responsible party,
00:29:57I demand that you
00:29:58issue a formal apology
00:30:00to one of the major
00:30:00medical journals
00:30:01and with an explanation
00:30:03to every affected
00:30:04Vail Hospital patient.
00:30:07Refuse me
00:30:08and I will ensure
00:30:09that the medical board
00:30:10revokes your license
00:30:11permanently.
00:30:12That accusation
00:30:13isn't just baseness.
00:30:15It's absurd.
00:30:16What exactly do you think
00:30:17you're going to do about it?
00:30:19You've got no choice
00:30:20but to sign this confession.
00:30:21Oh, stop threatening
00:30:22my chief surgeon.
00:30:24If you insist
00:30:25on pursuing this vendetta,
00:30:26have your attorney
00:30:27send a formal complaint
00:30:28to Hart Medical Center.
00:30:30We'll consider it
00:30:31nothing less
00:30:31than a declaration
00:30:33of total war.
00:30:35If it's war you want,
00:30:37I will obliterate
00:30:38your dime store clinic
00:30:40with everything
00:30:40that I've got.
00:30:42Let's go.
00:30:44One more second
00:30:45and this cesspool
00:30:45is going to make me
00:30:46physically ill.
00:30:55Mr. Vail,
00:30:57don't you waste
00:30:58another precious moment
00:30:59on those
00:30:59secondary practitioners.
00:31:02David,
00:31:03you've proven
00:31:03your loyalty.
00:31:04The chief of surgery
00:31:06position is yours
00:31:07effective immediately.
00:31:09This is,
00:31:10this is extraordinary.
00:31:11I,
00:31:12thank you.
00:31:13I am honored
00:31:16beyond words.
00:31:18Don't forget
00:31:18about me,
00:31:18Preston.
00:31:20Don't worry,
00:31:21babe.
00:31:21You will be
00:31:23thoroughly compensated
00:31:24for your loyalty.
00:31:26How exciting.
00:31:29Mr. Vail,
00:31:29I swear on my medical oath
00:31:31that I will not
00:31:32disappoint you.
00:31:34Mr. Vail,
00:31:35a commuter train
00:31:36derailed.
00:31:37Six critical patients
00:31:38incoming.
00:31:39Dr. Marksman,
00:31:39OR1 now.
00:31:41Now's your time
00:31:41to shine,
00:31:42Dr. Marksman.
00:31:43Shit,
00:31:43I'm screwed.
00:31:44Adrian's surgical journal
00:31:45with all his
00:31:46proprietary techniques
00:31:47is still in my office.
00:31:48If Preston finds out,
00:31:50I stole it
00:31:50and then couldn't
00:31:51even use it properly.
00:31:53I implemented
00:31:54a groundbreaking
00:31:56surgical protocol
00:31:57that I invented myself.
00:31:59These techniques
00:32:00are revolutionary.
00:32:01I'll walk you
00:32:02through it in detail
00:32:03after the emergency.
00:32:04It's impressive,
00:32:05Dr. Marksman.
00:32:06You've obviously
00:32:07got your own
00:32:07methodology.
00:32:09No need to bore me
00:32:10with the specifics.
00:32:10I trust your brilliance.
00:32:12Keep up the good work,
00:32:13Dr. Marksman.
00:32:14With you leading
00:32:14my surgical team,
00:32:16I can focus
00:32:17on what really matters.
00:32:18Hospital expansion.
00:32:21Again, sir,
00:32:22I'm deeply honored.
00:32:30Behold,
00:32:30Vail Hospital's
00:32:31new chief of surgery.
00:32:33Let's see how
00:32:34all these condescending
00:32:34clowns treat me now.
00:32:40Glad you're
00:32:40feeling better, honey.
00:32:42Yeah.
00:32:43Well, sorry.
00:32:45Who's this?
00:32:49Nelson Vail speaking.
00:32:50President Vail,
00:32:51Dr. Vivian Hart here.
00:32:53I am calling
00:32:54to let you know
00:32:55that as of this morning,
00:32:57Hart Medical Center
00:32:57has officially entered
00:32:59the experimental
00:33:00surgery arena.
00:33:01Revolutionary
00:33:02surgical procedures
00:33:03or avail
00:33:03hospital's domain.
00:33:06Are you absolutely
00:33:06certain you want
00:33:07to pick this fight?
00:33:09This is merely
00:33:10a professional
00:33:10courtesy call,
00:33:11not an invitation
00:33:12for debate.
00:33:13Now, just...
00:33:14What is that
00:33:20conniving bitch
00:33:21plotting?
00:33:22She knows Adrian
00:33:24is our surgical
00:33:25secret weapon.
00:33:26Why would she
00:33:27deliberately provoke
00:33:28a medical war
00:33:29she has absolutely
00:33:30no chance
00:33:31of winning?
00:33:33Unless...
00:33:41Dad, we've got
00:33:42multiple traumas
00:33:42coming in.
00:33:43Just tell me
00:33:43you didn't fire
00:33:44Dr. Marksman.
00:33:46Dad, relax.
00:33:48I fired the other one,
00:33:49that incompetent
00:33:50slacker resident
00:33:51that you mentioned.
00:33:52Then explain to me
00:33:53why Hart Medical Center
00:33:55believes they can
00:33:56suddenly challenge
00:33:57our surgical supremacy.
00:33:59Because I
00:34:01masterfully led
00:34:02Vivian Hart
00:34:03into a false
00:34:03sense of reality.
00:34:05There's no way
00:34:05a mediocre doctor
00:34:06can revolutionize
00:34:07surgical procedures.
00:34:09I convinced Vivian
00:34:10that she's acquired
00:34:11surgical brilliance
00:34:12when in reality
00:34:14she's hired
00:34:14our disgrace,
00:34:15discarded loser.
00:34:17So you deliberately
00:34:18manipulated Vivian?
00:34:19She thinks
00:34:20she's hired
00:34:21the genius
00:34:22behind Vail Hospital's
00:34:23groundbreaking procedures.
00:34:24That's why she had
00:34:26the audacity
00:34:26to declare war on you.
00:34:27Impressive, son.
00:34:29You're finally showing
00:34:30some of the leadership
00:34:31qualities.
00:34:32I've been waiting
00:34:32to see out of you.
00:34:34I think you're ready
00:34:34to take complete control
00:34:36of our experimental
00:34:37surgical division.
00:34:40Dad, this...
00:34:41this is everything
00:34:42I've worked for.
00:34:44We'll get to work
00:34:45immediately.
00:34:46We're going to
00:34:46expose
00:34:47Hart Medical Center
00:34:49for the low-grade
00:34:51institution
00:34:52it truly is.
00:34:53Their humiliation
00:34:54will be quick
00:34:55and absolute.
00:34:57I won't let you down.
00:35:00Darling,
00:35:01surgical innovation
00:35:02is the future of Vail.
00:35:04Preston only got
00:35:05his MBA last year.
00:35:06Do you really think
00:35:07it's wise to entrust him
00:35:09with our most
00:35:09prestigious program?
00:35:11I would never
00:35:11take a risk like this
00:35:13if Preston
00:35:14was our only asset.
00:35:16Remember,
00:35:17we have the ultimate
00:35:18surgical secret weapon.
00:35:21You mean the surgeon
00:35:22that saved my life?
00:35:23Dr. Adrian Marksman.
00:35:25Exactly.
00:35:26And all I need to do
00:35:28is stay hands-off
00:35:30and let him
00:35:32exercise his
00:35:33extraordinary talents.
00:35:36As long as Adrian
00:35:37is with
00:35:37Vail Hospital,
00:35:39Hart Medical Center
00:35:40has no chance
00:35:41of competing.
00:35:43Not only that,
00:35:44Vivian fell
00:35:45for Preston's manipulation
00:35:46and hired that
00:35:47medical disaster,
00:35:49Dr. David Marksman.
00:35:51What we have to do now
00:35:53is sit back
00:35:55and watch her
00:35:56would-be empire
00:35:58crumble.
00:36:05So,
00:36:06now that you've seen
00:36:07the surgical department,
00:36:08what do you think?
00:36:11It's not bad.
00:36:13It's a small team,
00:36:14but they're talented.
00:36:14What you've built here,
00:36:17it's impressive, Viv.
00:36:21It's good to see you again
00:36:22after all these years,
00:36:23Adrian.
00:36:24You too.
00:36:26We need to expand.
00:36:28It's too small
00:36:29for what I'm planning.
00:36:31Also,
00:36:32I heard you weren't
00:36:34the only surgeon
00:36:35Preston Vale fired.
00:36:36We have all the angles
00:36:42figured out,
00:36:42don't you?
00:36:43And I always find
00:36:44the best one.
00:36:53I'm gonna start recruiting.
00:36:56Good.
00:36:58The faster we rise,
00:37:00the more rewarding
00:37:02this partnership becomes.
00:37:03This better be good.
00:37:18Mr. Vale,
00:37:20you wanted to see me?
00:37:25My father
00:37:26has granted me
00:37:27complete authority
00:37:28over our experimental
00:37:29surgical department.
00:37:30Given your new position
00:37:31as chief of surgery,
00:37:32I'm appointing you
00:37:34head of innovation.
00:37:36Mr. Vale,
00:37:36I, uh...
00:37:37Is there an issue
00:37:38with that?
00:37:39No, absolutely not.
00:37:41The budget for innovation
00:37:43is astronomical,
00:37:44and President Vale
00:37:45has already handed
00:37:46control to his son?
00:37:48If I oversee
00:37:49these procedures,
00:37:50I could divert
00:37:50significant resources
00:37:51to my personal research.
00:37:54Mr. Vale,
00:37:55you can trust me completely.
00:37:57I am precisely
00:37:58the right man
00:37:59for the job.
00:37:59Preston,
00:38:03we have a catastrophe
00:38:03on our hands.
00:38:04Two attending surgeons
00:38:05just submitted
00:38:05their resignation
00:38:06simultaneously.
00:38:07The department
00:38:07can't possibly
00:38:08maintain its caseload.
00:38:09What?
00:38:10They both resigned
00:38:11at once?
00:38:11What was their explanation?
00:38:12They refused
00:38:13to disclose their reasons.
00:38:14But there's talk
00:38:15they were recruited
00:38:15by a former Vale physician,
00:38:17along with the three
00:38:18other surgeons
00:38:18you fired before.
00:38:19Former physician
00:38:20Adrian Marksman,
00:38:21this has his
00:38:22saboteur signature
00:38:23all over it.
00:38:24Preston,
00:38:25what is our contingency plan?
00:38:26The surgical department
00:38:27is severely understaffed.
00:38:29If any more surgeons
00:38:30leave,
00:38:30patients will suffer.
00:38:31Okay, everybody
00:38:32needs to remain calm.
00:38:35You still have me.
00:38:37I can rebuild
00:38:38this department.
00:38:40Ah, yes.
00:38:41With your stellar reputation,
00:38:42we should be able
00:38:43to get the best
00:38:43of the best.
00:38:44Exactly.
00:38:46So we lost
00:38:46some second-rate talent.
00:38:48Let him go.
00:38:50I'll make some calls
00:38:52to Cedars-Sinai
00:38:53and UCLA.
00:38:54Good work, Marksman.
00:39:00This is working
00:39:01out perfectly.
00:39:02Now I can install
00:39:03my own allies
00:39:04in key positions.
00:39:05Soon,
00:39:06I'll control
00:39:06the entire hospital's
00:39:07medical direction.
00:39:24It's an honor
00:39:33to meet you,
00:39:33Dr. Hart.
00:39:37This is Dr. Parker here.
00:39:39He's a triple-board
00:39:40certified surgeon.
00:39:42And soon,
00:39:42he'll be the head
00:39:43of trauma surgery.
00:39:44This is Dr. Rose,
00:39:46Chen,
00:39:47Rose,
00:39:48and Thomas.
00:39:49All consummate professionals.
00:39:51My most trusted colleagues
00:39:52back at Vail.
00:39:53With this surgical team,
00:39:58Hart Medical
00:39:58can revolutionize
00:39:59surgical care
00:40:00all across the country.
00:40:03Actually,
00:40:03the whole world.
00:40:05We're here to begin,
00:40:06Dr. Hart.
00:40:07Well,
00:40:08welcome to
00:40:08Hart Medical Center.
00:40:10I am thrilled
00:40:12to have surgeons
00:40:12of your caliber
00:40:13joining us,
00:40:14but
00:40:14I do need
00:40:16to be transparent.
00:40:17We have got
00:40:18considerable ground
00:40:19to cover
00:40:19before we can
00:40:20truly challenge
00:40:21Vail Hospital's
00:40:22dominance.
00:40:23Have no fear,
00:40:23Dr. Hart.
00:40:25With Adrian
00:40:25leading our team,
00:40:26we'll be
00:40:26three steps ahead
00:40:27of anything
00:40:28Vail attempts.
00:40:29Yes,
00:40:30but Vail
00:40:31has already
00:40:31implemented
00:40:32Adrian's
00:40:33breakthrough
00:40:33surgical procedure
00:40:34protocols.
00:40:35Yeah,
00:40:36about that.
00:40:37It's a preliminary
00:40:38version.
00:40:39If they continue
00:40:39to develop
00:40:40this approach
00:40:40without modification...
00:40:41Then what?
00:40:42A lot of deaths,
00:40:43a lot of lawsuits,
00:40:46a lot of patients
00:40:47could be harmed
00:40:47or worse.
00:40:48These procedures
00:40:49weren't ready
00:40:50for widespread
00:40:50implementation
00:40:51without proper
00:40:52refinement.
00:40:53Those techniques
00:40:54require precise
00:40:55calibration
00:40:55and specialized
00:40:56training.
00:40:57Without that
00:40:58foundation...
00:40:59We're talking
00:41:00about serious
00:41:00complications,
00:41:02preventable harm.
00:41:03Our first priority
00:41:04has to be patient
00:41:05safety.
00:41:06We need to
00:41:06perfect these
00:41:07procedures,
00:41:08and then we
00:41:09can find a way
00:41:09to prevent Vail
00:41:10from continuing
00:41:11with the flawed
00:41:12protocols.
00:41:13Exactly.
00:41:14It's not about
00:41:14competition or pride.
00:41:16It's about
00:41:16saving lives.
00:41:20We're using
00:41:21our experience
00:41:22with the trial
00:41:22procedures I did
00:41:23at Vail
00:41:24to develop
00:41:24next-generation
00:41:25surgical techniques
00:41:27eliminating all
00:41:28the previous
00:41:28complications
00:41:29and inefficiencies.
00:41:32Even if Vail
00:41:32Hospital analyzes
00:41:33our fundamental
00:41:34approach and
00:41:35attempts to
00:41:35create something
00:41:36new,
00:41:37we'll maintain
00:41:38our significant
00:41:39advantage.
00:41:40And if they
00:41:41stubbornly
00:41:41continue with
00:41:42their flawed
00:41:43protocols,
00:41:44rest assured,
00:41:45their outcomes
00:41:46will deteriorate.
00:41:47I don't wish
00:41:48it upon their
00:41:48patients,
00:41:49that's for sure.
00:41:50Remember this
00:41:51moment.
00:41:52In this battle
00:41:53for medical
00:41:53supremacy,
00:41:54Heart Medical
00:41:55Center will
00:41:56emerge victorious.
00:42:04It's 3 a.m.
00:42:06Lost track
00:42:07of time again.
00:42:10Viv, you
00:42:14surprised me.
00:42:16Looks like
00:42:17you could use
00:42:18an ice rub.
00:42:19Do you mind?
00:42:21No.
00:42:23I mean,
00:42:24yeah.
00:42:26Will you give
00:42:27all your surgeons
00:42:27massages?
00:42:29Only the ones
00:42:30I really, really
00:42:31like.
00:42:31You really, really
00:42:38like me?
00:42:39Adrienne, I've
00:42:40really, really
00:42:40liked you since
00:42:41residency.
00:42:43Nothing's
00:42:44changed.
00:42:45You were our
00:42:46most brilliant
00:42:47resident in the
00:42:47program.
00:42:49I never imagined
00:42:49someone like you
00:42:50would like me.
00:42:51There was never
00:42:51anyone else that
00:42:52got my attention.
00:42:54Only you.
00:42:55But you were
00:42:58completely oblivious.
00:43:00And then you
00:43:00just vanished
00:43:02from the
00:43:02program.
00:43:03Well, I left
00:43:04to join the
00:43:05Experimental
00:43:05Surgical Fellowship
00:43:06in Switzerland.
00:43:08I know.
00:43:11Your talent
00:43:11was extraordinary
00:43:12even then.
00:43:13Back then,
00:43:15I made a promise
00:43:16to myself that
00:43:16we would work
00:43:17together again
00:43:18someday.
00:43:19You know,
00:43:20when I established
00:43:21Heart Medical
00:43:21Center,
00:43:22my first priority
00:43:23was recruiting
00:43:24you.
00:43:25But that
00:43:26manipulative
00:43:27tyrant,
00:43:28Nelson Vale,
00:43:29had already
00:43:30secured your
00:43:30contracts with
00:43:32ridiculous incentives.
00:43:34I understand
00:43:35now.
00:43:42So,
00:43:43should we
00:43:45pick up where
00:43:46we left off
00:43:47in residency?
00:43:48You're the
00:43:49boss.
00:43:50That's right.
00:43:51And as your
00:43:52boss, I say,
00:43:53come home
00:43:55with me.
00:43:56Tonight?
00:43:57You lost
00:43:57everything when
00:43:58Preston fired you.
00:44:00Hospital privileges,
00:44:02research funding,
00:44:04even your
00:44:05hospital-subsidized
00:44:07apartment.
00:44:09You have
00:44:10literally nowhere
00:44:11else to go
00:44:11tonight.
00:44:13Come with me.
00:44:16Where?
00:44:18My place.
00:44:19My place.
00:44:19My place.
00:44:19My place.
00:44:23All right.
00:44:28I'll admit it.
00:44:30That was the best meal
00:44:31I've had in months.
00:44:32Careful, Dr. Marksman.
00:44:34I might start thinking
00:44:36you're easy to please.
00:44:37That just depends
00:44:38on the company.
00:44:39Well, starting tonight,
00:44:41this is your new home.
00:44:44Until the program's
00:44:45fully established,
00:44:46it just makes sense.
00:44:47Are you sure
00:44:48about that?
00:44:49We already work
00:44:50late hours.
00:44:52Living together
00:44:53could get complicated.
00:44:56Well, I like complicated.
00:44:58Keeps things
00:44:59interesting.
00:45:01And
00:45:01where exactly
00:45:03will I be sleeping?
00:45:04Well,
00:45:05my master suite
00:45:09has a
00:45:11California king.
00:45:12plenty of room
00:45:16if things ever
00:45:18need to get
00:45:19more
00:45:20collaborative.
00:45:23Really?
00:45:25Relax.
00:45:26I'm only teasing.
00:45:28Tonight,
00:45:29at least.
00:45:31Come on.
00:45:34I'll show you
00:45:35your room.
00:45:38Unless you'd rather
00:45:39have a nightcap.
00:45:40And mine.
00:45:42things could
00:45:48get dangerous.
00:45:54Is this
00:45:54pathetic attempt
00:45:55really the best
00:45:56that you can do?
00:46:01You are
00:46:01completely
00:46:02worthless as surgeons.
00:46:04Dr. Marksman,
00:46:04the experimental
00:46:06procedures we're
00:46:07trying to replicate
00:46:07here are
00:46:08extraordinarily intricate.
00:46:09We need at least
00:46:10six months
00:46:11to properly master
00:46:12six months.
00:46:14You have
00:46:1572 hours.
00:46:16And I expect
00:46:17hourly updates
00:46:18on my desk.
00:46:19Sir,
00:46:19brushing these
00:46:20delicate procedures
00:46:21dramatically increases
00:46:23the possibility
00:46:24of potentially
00:46:24fatal complications.
00:46:25Three days.
00:46:26Then you don't get
00:46:27one hour more.
00:46:29Go.
00:46:30Go.
00:46:30report,
00:46:35report, Dr. Marksman.
00:46:36What's our status?
00:46:37Excellent progress,
00:46:38Mr. Vale.
00:46:39We will be advancing
00:46:40to phase two
00:46:41implementation
00:46:41within three days.
00:46:43That's exactly
00:46:44what I wanted to hear.
00:46:45I knew my judgment
00:46:46in appointing you
00:46:47was flawless.
00:46:53Preston,
00:46:53I need an update
00:46:54on the experimental
00:46:55surgery program.
00:46:57Everything's proceeding
00:46:58perfectly, Father.
00:46:58Outstanding.
00:47:00When this is done,
00:47:01I'll throw you
00:47:02a huge party
00:47:03to celebrate
00:47:04the launch.
00:47:05Your father must
00:47:05be so proud of you.
00:47:07Keep up the good work,
00:47:08Dr. Marksman.
00:47:09I'll make sure my father
00:47:10understands your
00:47:11invaluable contribution.
00:47:13This is my shot.
00:47:15Why settle for
00:47:15chief of surgery?
00:47:16With the right maneuvering,
00:47:17I could become the next
00:47:18chief medical officer
00:47:19of Vale Hospital.
00:47:21Mr. Vale,
00:47:22my purpose
00:47:23is to execute
00:47:24the visionary
00:47:25medical strategies
00:47:26of brilliant administrators
00:47:28such as yourself.
00:47:30I believe that
00:47:31in the position
00:47:32of chief medical officer,
00:47:33I could implement
00:47:34your ideas
00:47:35more effectively
00:47:36throughout the entire hospital.
00:47:37If these procedures
00:47:38prove successful,
00:47:40I will personally discuss
00:47:41your advancement
00:47:41with the board.
00:47:42Truly, that's...
00:47:43I am profoundly grateful,
00:47:47sir.
00:47:56You're finally awake.
00:48:12You can keep appreciating
00:48:14the view while you eat.
00:48:16All right.
00:48:17Ooh, breakfast.
00:48:18Looks good.
00:48:22When you're finished eating,
00:48:24we'll head directly
00:48:24to the surgical wing.
00:48:26Sound good?
00:48:27Yes.
00:48:28Absolutely.
00:48:29Good.
00:48:31Get it up and running
00:48:32and there may be
00:48:33a special bonus
00:48:35waiting for you.
00:48:39Extra special.
00:48:49Okay, team.
00:48:50We're approaching
00:48:50a critical phase
00:48:51of our program development.
00:48:53We have groundbreaking
00:48:54procedures that we need
00:48:55to perfect in very little time.
00:48:57So, let's get to it.
00:48:59Let's start revolutionizing medicine.
00:49:01I have excellent news
00:49:02for all of you.
00:49:03I've just finalized
00:49:05arrangements with the board
00:49:06and upon successful implementation
00:49:08of our surgical innovations,
00:49:11each of you will receive
00:49:12a fully funded
00:49:13medical mission trip
00:49:14anywhere in the world
00:49:15that you choose
00:49:16to share your expertise.
00:49:17and when the time comes
00:49:20that our procedures
00:49:20receive national certification,
00:49:23every surgeon on this team
00:49:25will be gifted
00:49:26a percentage of the royalties
00:49:27from any techniques
00:49:28we patent.
00:49:31At Hart Medical Center,
00:49:33our surgeons
00:49:34are the lifeblood
00:49:35of our institution
00:49:36and you will be
00:49:38compensated accordingly.
00:49:39Dr. Hart,
00:49:43we are fully committed
00:49:45to making
00:49:45this surgical program
00:49:46a success.
00:49:47Absolutely.
00:49:48You'll be seeing progress
00:49:49ASAP.
00:49:50Vail Hospital
00:49:51won't know what hit him.
00:49:52With Adrian leading us,
00:49:53victory is guaranteed.
00:49:55Hart is best!
00:49:56Hart is best!
00:49:57Hart is best!
00:49:59Hart is best!
00:50:00Hart is best!
00:50:01Hart is good!
00:50:01Hart is best!
00:50:01We're running wild,
00:50:03hearts on fire
00:50:04Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
00:50:08We're chasing dreams
00:50:10and climbing higher
00:50:11Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
00:50:14Can't hold us back
00:50:16I'm ready to stay
00:50:17Can't hold us back
00:50:19We're going all the way
00:50:21I'm going on the way
00:50:21Huh?
00:50:23Come on,
00:50:28Come on,
00:50:29You always this disciplined, or are you just trying to impress me?
00:50:38If I was trying to impress you, you even know.
00:50:41Midnight meetings, long hours, this work ethic of yours, it's a little dangerous.
00:50:53That's what Belle used to say about me.
00:50:56Then they fired me.
00:50:59Then they were fools.
00:51:04You've earned more than just respect here, Adrian.
00:51:07You know that, right?
00:51:13You trying to motivate me again?
00:51:16I don't try.
00:51:20I do.
00:51:24Well, don't work too late.
00:51:29You're no good to me, burnt out.
00:51:31The incompetence is staggering.
00:51:44Yeah, you too are in way over your heads.
00:51:46Do you really think that this is acceptable?
00:51:51I give you one simple task, and you screw it up.
00:51:55How the hell did either of you even finish residency?
00:51:59Vail General Hospital is the gold standard, and you two are just standing around like clueless little interns.
00:52:05If these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow, you're both gone.
00:52:10Is that clear?
00:52:11Yes, sir.
00:52:12This is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team?
00:52:18Go.
00:52:19Oh, Mr. Vail.
00:52:26What a, what a, what a surprise.
00:52:28Cut the bullshit, Marksman.
00:52:30We're on schedule or not?
00:52:32Of course.
00:52:34We're, we're just refining the final stages.
00:52:38Yeah, everything is under control.
00:52:40Good.
00:52:41There's a problem.
00:52:42I expect to hear it from you.
00:52:43No cover-ups.
00:52:44Of course, sir.
00:52:45Mr. Vail.
00:52:49Not now.
00:52:50Go get me the latest performance reports.
00:52:55It, uh, looks like Preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here.
00:53:02Don't worry.
00:53:03When Preston makes me chief medical officer, I'm gonna need someone flexible in my corner.
00:53:09I was back at the winning team, Dr. Marksman.
00:53:15Today, Vail Hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next-generation surgical program.
00:53:25This cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry,
00:53:31especially as Heart Medical's competing program was released on the same day.
00:53:35The question now is, who will define the future of surgery?
00:53:39Relax, Mr. Vail.
00:53:42Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance.
00:53:45I hope you're right.
00:53:47For your sake.
00:53:51Didn't you say that, uh, if the rollout went well, that you'd make me chief medical officer?
00:53:57It's not a success.
00:53:59Yet.
00:54:02Enjoy tonight's launch party.
00:54:04Because if our results don't outshine Heart Medical, it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long time.
00:54:09Dr. Hurt, we, um, have a problem.
00:54:25Vail Hospital's new surgical program launches today.
00:54:28That soon?
00:54:29They're hosting a big celebration party tonight.
00:54:32It's a good thing we're ahead of.
00:54:38You're saying we're ready?
00:54:40Why would I lie?
00:54:41We've been tracking Vail's every move.
00:54:44Let him celebrate.
00:54:45It's just gonna backfire.
00:54:47How exactly does that work in our favor?
00:54:50Bib, do you remember what I told you when you first brought me here?
00:54:55Preston Vail's rushing this.
00:54:57He's desperate to beat us to the market.
00:54:59And?
00:54:59Their model's flawed.
00:55:00If they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure and their approach,
00:55:06we won't have to lift a damn finger.
00:55:09And what about when it falls apart?
00:55:10Then Heart Medical takes over as the future of modern surgery.
00:55:15So you're saying that Vail Hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that you designed?
00:55:20It's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast.
00:55:23They're using an early draft full of mistakes that I won't make again.
00:55:28They don't even realize the cracks in their foundation.
00:55:30That actually makes perfect sense.
00:55:35Which means we've already won.
00:55:38Well, this is a big day for us.
00:55:40We should celebrate.
00:55:41What do you have in mind?
00:55:42Drinks?
00:55:43Not quite.
00:55:44You and I are crashing the Vail launch party tonight.
00:55:48What?
00:55:48Why?
00:55:50Let me worry about that.
00:55:52In the meantime, ensure a smooth rollout.
00:55:54Finish whatever procedures you need to.
00:55:57And meet me in the lobby at 8 p.m. sharp.
00:55:59Preston, we've been through so much together.
00:56:16I know where I'm headed in life, and I know who I want by my side.
00:56:22Tonight, at this launch party, celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program.
00:56:28It's like the perfect moment to ask,
00:56:30Will you marry me?
00:56:37It should be fun.
00:56:41Absolutely.
00:56:43You really know how to take care of your staff, Mr. Vail?
00:56:46Stop it.
00:56:47Too bad you're taken.
00:56:48Yeah.
00:56:49Yeah, what a shame.
00:56:50Where the fuck is Fiona?
00:56:52Told her meet me out here so we can go to this party together.
00:56:55Forget about her.
00:56:56She's just social climbing trash anyways.
00:56:59We'll show you a better time.
00:57:00Yeah.
00:57:04Now that's an offer I can't refuse.
00:57:05Let's go.
00:57:06Fiona who?
00:57:10Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:57:12Let me get you off.
00:57:26The number you have dialed is unavailable.
00:57:36Please try again later.
00:57:38It's great.
00:57:38It's great.
00:57:38It's 20 in one day.
00:58:04All clean.
00:58:05All stable.
00:58:06The experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.
00:58:09You did it.
00:58:11No.
00:58:12We didn't.
00:58:16Dr. Marksman, you have to get to Vail's launch party pronto.
00:58:19You're already late.
00:58:20I need a change there.
00:58:21You don't have time.
00:58:23Where's Vivian?
00:58:25Taking care of something.
00:58:27She said it's really important that you be there and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:58:30Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vail Hospital's revolutionary surgical program.
00:58:36What the fuck?
00:58:53You're my date and you're wasted.
00:58:55I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.
00:58:58Yeah.
00:58:58God knows why I chose you, but I did.
00:59:01So if you want to keep your job and your status sober up, for God's sakes.
00:59:05Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?
00:59:26It's giving orderly sheep.
00:59:32Maybe he's here to bust tables.
00:59:35What are you doing at our launch party?
00:59:37You weren't invited.
00:59:38You're so sure about that?
00:59:39I mean, look at you.
00:59:40This is a black tie.
00:59:42I mean, not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is.
00:59:44Oh, look who crawled in from the gutter.
00:59:50The failed surgeon.
00:59:51The fraud.
00:59:53The nobody.
00:59:55Show up to my party in dirty scrubs, Marksman?
00:59:58Thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the low lives.
01:00:01Guess you need to fire them, too.
01:00:03Pardon me.
01:00:03I just came straight from surgery.
01:00:05Because some of us here are real surgeons.
01:00:08What are you trying to say?
01:00:09I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody, isn't me.
01:00:18I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.
01:00:22Got some nerve talking to my man Marksman like that.
01:00:26The genius like him leading our surgical team?
01:00:29You won't be able to get anywhere near our next party.
01:00:31Yeah, because it'll happen in prison.
01:00:33When you're all arrested for medical malpractice, criminal negligence, and identity theft.
01:00:41What are you talking about?
01:00:43Identity theft?
01:00:45Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?
01:00:47Yours?
01:00:48Let me give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.
01:00:51If you don't got it, you just act like you do.
01:00:54Speaking from experience.
01:00:57Look around you.
01:00:59This is the elite among the elite.
01:01:02The best of the best in the medical field.
01:01:04Just because you waltz in here and you're dirty, cheap scrubs, doesn't make you one of us.
01:01:09Good.
01:01:09I'm glad.
01:01:10Because you're all beneath me.
01:01:13Isn't that right, Dr. Marksman?
01:01:15That's enough.
01:01:16Guards!
01:01:18This former employee is threatening us.
01:01:21Kick him out.
01:01:23Touch me and you'll regret it.
01:01:26I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:01:30What are you dumbasses doing?
01:01:32Grab him.
01:01:47Preston!
01:01:48What the hell is this?
01:01:50Dad.
01:01:52Relax.
01:01:52I, uh...
01:01:53Relax?
01:01:55This twat came in on invite.
01:01:56I was just kicking him out.
01:01:57Guards!
01:01:58Remove him immediately.
01:01:59President Vail, it truly is an honor to finally meet you.
01:02:02You get out of my way!
01:02:04Dad, what are you doing?
01:02:05This is, this is, this is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...
01:02:09You are such a fool!
01:02:13Dad!
01:02:14What are you, what are you doing?
01:02:16Open your eyes, Preston.
01:02:18This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...
01:02:22You are a...
01:02:23Disgraced!
01:02:26Dad!
01:02:28My hospital meant something and you turned it into a...
01:02:32Into a...
01:02:33Dad!
01:02:35Dad!
01:02:40Dad!
01:02:42President Vail, fuck away from my dad!
01:02:45Are you out of your mind?
01:02:47He is the best surgeon in this room.
01:02:48Oh yeah, like you give a shit about saving my dad.
01:02:51I'll die before I trust you two.
01:02:53Somebody get me a real doctor!
01:02:55David!
01:02:56David!
01:02:56You're cold!
01:02:58It's cold!
01:03:02Can't think of what to do next?
01:03:05Blanking?
01:03:06Can't think of a diagnosis?
01:03:07Shut up!
01:03:08Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?
01:03:11This is ridiculous.
01:03:12I thought this David guy was a genius.
01:03:14Are you just standing there?
01:03:16Do something!
01:03:19What's the matter, David?
01:03:20If you need help, just ask.
01:03:23All you have to do is admit what you did.
01:03:25Right here.
01:03:26Right now.
01:03:28I can't blow my cover, but...
01:03:30What if I kill him?
01:03:32I don't know anything about surgeries.
01:03:34I don't even know what's wrong with them.
01:03:37I did medical school on Zoom.
01:03:39David, this is a matter of life and death.
01:03:43Let it go.
01:03:45I...
01:03:46I...
01:03:47I can't.
01:03:51I can't do this.
01:03:53Okay, I can't.
01:03:55I can't do this.
01:03:56I can't do this without my notebook.
01:04:00That's my surgical notebook.
01:04:05He stole it from me.
01:04:13Okay, okay.
01:04:15I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.
01:04:20Okay.
01:04:20I got it, I got it, I got it.
01:04:25Here, take it, take it, take it.
01:04:26Okay.
01:04:27All right, hold his head, but tilt it back and apply pressure here.
01:04:32Okay.
01:04:33Okay.
01:04:44Okay.
01:04:44Okay.
01:04:46Okay.
01:04:47Pretty.
01:04:49Four.
01:04:50Oh, thank God.
01:04:55How are you?
01:04:56Let out.
01:05:02Oh, that's my guy.
01:05:04Surgical genius.
01:05:07That's how Val makes history.
01:05:08Somebody get this man a medal.
01:05:11Or at least a new department.
01:05:12If you still want that chief medical officer position, say the word.
01:05:17Now, do I have to have somebody escort you out?
01:05:19That maneuver, that notebook.
01:05:24It's mine.
01:05:25Then tell them.
01:05:30Where is he going?
01:05:32Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program at another fake hospital.
01:05:37Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?
01:05:39Say, why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life?
01:05:42That procedure David used, I invented it.
01:05:50What kind of crack are you smoking?
01:05:52He's delusional.
01:05:54Somebody seriously check this guy's medical license.
01:05:57The notebook he used to save your father.
01:06:00That's mine.
01:06:02My handwriting.
01:06:03My theories.
01:06:05You're just pissed because he did what you couldn't.
01:06:08I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories as innovation.
01:06:13And when it fails,
01:06:15and it will,
01:06:18you're not the ones that'll pay for it.
01:06:20The patients will.
01:06:21You can't prove that.
01:06:23Not yet.
01:06:25But you can't fake medicine.
01:06:28Medicine and science always tell the truth.
01:06:34Our three's vitals has just dropped.
01:06:36We've got uncontrolled bleeding.
01:06:37Second patient today.
01:06:38Same issue.
01:06:39Vessel ligation failed mid-operation.
01:06:42These techniques aren't viable.
01:06:43The fail method doesn't hold under stress.
01:06:47I mean, come on.
01:06:48Tonight proves it.
01:06:49We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country.
01:06:59I'll be right back.
01:07:01Just coordinating with the team.
01:07:03Talk to me.
01:07:03Talk to me.
01:07:06The vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again.
01:07:10This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.
01:07:14Use the compression step.
01:07:15That only works in controlled scenarios.
01:07:18We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.
01:07:22Look, just follow the notes.
01:07:23I designed those techniques for one-on-one guidance.
01:07:30Not mass implementation.
01:07:32Without calibration.
01:07:35It's unstable.
01:07:36It's dangerous.
01:07:36They tried to commercialize your success without you.
01:07:40Now people are paying for it.
01:07:41All good?
01:07:44Of course.
01:07:46Just routine coordination.
01:07:48Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.
01:07:52Your surgical program is failing.
01:07:53And patients are suffering.
01:07:55You've been out of the field for months.
01:07:57You wouldn't know.
01:07:58Yeah, I would know.
01:07:59Because the procedures that you're butchering, I invented.
01:08:03And I'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing.
01:08:07Oh, shit.
01:08:14Oh, yes.
01:08:15This is Dr. Marksman.
01:08:17Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:08:19Okay, listen very carefully.
01:08:23Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.
01:08:32No, you need to perform a Marksman-modified Pringle maneuver with selective hepatic arterial ligation,
01:08:38followed by a rapid-sequence vascular anatomosis using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures.
01:08:46Yes.
01:08:48Yes.
01:08:49How do we even know he made a phone call?
01:08:54This whole thing is performance, a charade.
01:08:56You stole his methods.
01:08:58This entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork.
01:09:04Uh, that's a lie.
01:09:05Then prove me wrong.
01:09:07Show them all a technique that I didn't create.
01:09:12Why would we believe anything he says?
01:09:14He was fired.
01:09:15He humiliated.
01:09:16You're right, I was fired.
01:09:17And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary.
01:09:24Yeah, you know what?
01:09:24This is pathetic.
01:09:26He's just jealous.
01:09:27He missed his shot.
01:09:28Is that what you told yourself?
01:09:30When you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal?
01:09:33Even if that were true, this isn't the time or the place.
01:09:38I think it's exactly the time and place.
01:09:41I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator and thanks to Adrian's guidance, our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients.
01:10:02Adrian just cleaned up your mess.
01:10:05You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready and you fired him.
01:10:10The one person who could make them safe.
01:10:15Dad, you don't see the full picture here.
01:10:18Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.
01:10:20This hospital was built on trust and integrity and you've disgraced them both.
01:10:27Your father nearly died because of your ego.
01:10:30Because of his lies.
01:10:33You saved me.
01:10:35You saved Nelson.
01:10:36And now, you can save Vale.
01:10:40I tried to warn you all.
01:10:42No one listened.
01:10:43They're listening now.
01:10:45You deserve to be at Vale more than either of those two.
01:10:50And probably even more than me.
01:10:52It was a mistake to let you go.
01:10:56Months ago, I was fired from Vale Hospital with procedures still in development.
01:11:01They weren't ready.
01:11:02They needed supervision.
01:11:05Precision.
01:11:05Development.
01:11:07Instead, someone took my notes and tried to fast track them for glory.
01:11:11Oh, you can't prove that.
01:11:14Security footage.
01:11:18Of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital.
01:11:22Already submitted to the board.
01:11:25I built on what he started.
01:11:28Okay?
01:11:29I didn't steal.
01:11:30I enhanced it.
01:11:32Then why were patients about to die?
01:11:35You falsified rollout readiness?
01:11:38He did more than that.
01:11:40He put lives at risk.
01:11:41To prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program.
01:11:45We're going to need to open a formal investigation on this.
01:11:48This is absurd.
01:11:51This was supposed to be our night.
01:11:52Oh, it's your night.
01:11:54It's just not the way you thought it'd be.
01:11:56You lied to me.
01:11:57You lied to me.
01:11:59I didn't lie.
01:12:00I simplified the truth.
01:12:02Simplify?
01:12:03You could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people.
01:12:08You nearly killed the president of the hospital.
01:12:11You passed up experimental procedures as launch ready.
01:12:14That's malpractice.
01:12:15They worked.
01:12:17Nelson's alive.
01:12:18Look, the patients, they're alive.
01:12:20Yeah, because of me.
01:12:21Those methods require sequential tensioning, breath control, special clamp techniques.
01:12:27Getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death.
01:12:29Wait, these really are your techniques?
01:12:31I tested them for years.
01:12:34It was never meant for mass rollout.
01:12:37Not without training.
01:12:39You're rewriting history?
01:12:41No, you tried to erase him from it.
01:12:43Adrian Marksman was the reason that Vale's program had a future.
01:12:48And without him, it won't.
01:12:50This is absurd!
01:12:52You're siding with this disgraced former resident?
01:12:55He's not disgraced, son.
01:12:57You are.
01:12:58You hijacked a program you didn't understand.
01:13:02And then when your ego wasn't enough, you propped up this fraud.
01:13:09Taking his side, Dad?
01:13:12I'm your son.
01:13:13I'm taking the side of truth.
01:13:16And so will the board.
01:13:17We will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning.
01:13:20Until then, both of you are suspended from all surgical and administrative duties.
01:13:25Suspended?
01:13:26No, no, no, you can't do that.
01:13:27You don't understand the politics of running a hospital.
01:13:30We understand the liability.
01:13:31That's enough.
01:13:34Mr. Preston Vale.
01:13:36Dr. David Marksman.
01:13:38Come with us.
01:13:40Dad.
01:13:41You're not going to often drag me out like this.
01:13:42I'm your son.
01:13:43No.
01:13:44Don't you touch me.
01:13:45You're not a child.
01:13:46Hey, Dad!
01:13:47I'm your side belt, Dad!

01:13:52Get off me!
01:13:52I'm just...

01:13:55You're not my responsibility.
01:13:56Turn, please.
01:14:03Adrian, please.
