00:00:00The patient's crashing! We need an attending surgeon now!
00:00:02The patient won't survive.
00:00:04Watch.
00:00:05Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level of trauma like this?
00:00:09This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:00:11What you just did will go down in the history box.
00:00:14Who is this guy?
00:00:15He's taking over as hospital administrator.
00:00:17New management, new standards.
00:00:19Sleeping after a shift?
00:00:20You are fired.
00:00:21I just worked all night.
00:00:23Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:00:25He's the one.
00:00:26Didn't I fire you too already?
00:00:28Get your hand off my gun arm.
00:00:31We're done, Adrian.
00:00:32I need someone with a future.
00:00:34Dr. Marksman, would you consider joining Heart Medical Center as our chief of surgery?
00:00:39This isn't about money.
00:00:40Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you?
00:00:45These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:00:47With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.
00:00:50Why is that?
00:00:51Oh.
00:00:52Why are you just standing there?
00:00:53Do something!
00:00:54If you need help, just ask.
00:00:55All you have to do is know what you did.
00:00:58A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured
00:01:07patients flooding into Bale Hospital's emergency department.
00:01:11The fate of these accident victims now rests in the hands of Bale's surgical team, their
00:01:16last hope for survival in the face of devastating trauma.
00:01:20Facials crashing!
00:01:21We need an attending surgeon now!
00:01:23All the hours are full.
00:01:24We've got three more criticals incoming.
00:01:26Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding.
00:01:29I can't leave this one.
00:01:30Where's Dr. Stevens?
00:01:31We need another attending surgeon.
00:01:32Everyone else is in the U.R.
00:01:34Need a hand?
00:01:35A new hire.
00:01:36You just started this month.
00:01:41Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level one trauma like this!
00:01:47The patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:48Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman.
00:01:49The patient's yours.
00:01:50Okay, we are going to perform a modified Whipple.
00:01:51Whipple?
00:01:52For trauma?
00:01:53That's insane.
00:01:54Trust me.
00:01:55Medicine bomb scissors.
00:01:56Dr. Rhodes, I need me to show you my work.
00:01:57I need something to show you.
00:01:58A new hire?
00:01:59A new hire?
00:02:00This whole life isn't Prisoner of Medicine.
00:02:01A new hire?
00:02:02You just started this month.
00:02:03Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level one trauma like this!
00:02:04Patient's pressure is dropping.
00:02:05Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman.
00:02:06Patient's yours.
00:02:07Okay.
00:02:08We are going to perform a modified Whipple.
00:02:11Whipple?
00:02:12For trauma?
00:02:13That's insane.
00:02:14Trust me.
00:02:15Medicine bomb scissors!
00:02:16That's insane.
00:02:17Trust me.
00:02:19Metzenbaum scissors.
00:02:21Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:02:26That procedure will take hours.
00:02:28The patient won't survive.
00:02:30Bobicottery.
00:02:33Watch.
00:02:39He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:02:42The bleeding.
00:02:43It's under control.
00:02:44But how did he...
00:02:47Tilk suture.
00:02:53Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:03:01I've never seen anything like this.
00:03:04Almost done.
00:03:05This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:03:16Jesus, Adrian.
00:03:25What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:03:28I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but that...
00:03:32That was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed.
00:03:34Where did you learn to operate like that?
00:03:36What you just did will go down in the history books.
00:03:39Wait.
00:03:39I heard President Vail personally recruited a medical prodigy who revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.
00:03:47Is that you?
00:03:54Final suture.
00:03:56Miss Vail's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:04:00Doctor.
00:04:01The nurses.
00:04:02They said you did it.
00:04:03And you...
00:04:04You actually did.
00:04:05Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.
00:04:07Every surgeon on the West Coast said it was inoperable, that she only had weeks to live, but you...
00:04:14You saved my Catherine.
00:04:15She'll make a full recovery, President Vail.
00:04:16Name your price, whatever it is.
00:04:17We need you at Vail.
00:04:18My hospital.
00:04:19Look, I'll explain later.
00:04:20Right now, we have...
00:04:21We need you at Vail.
00:04:22My hospital.
00:04:23Look, I'll explain later.
00:04:24Right now, we have...
00:04:25They said you did it.
00:04:26They said you did it.
00:04:27And you...
00:04:28You actually did.
00:04:30Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.
00:04:32Every surgeon on the West Coast said it was inoperable, that she only had weeks to live, but...
00:04:35You...
00:04:36You saved my Catherine.
00:04:37Three critical patients that need specialized procedures.
00:04:40It's gonna take hours.
00:04:42Y'all should go home.
00:04:43Get some rest.
00:04:44I'll take over from here.
00:04:46Okay.
00:04:47Good work, everyone.
00:05:07They're all stable.
00:05:22Every single one of them.
00:05:23Stabilized.
00:05:24Oh.
00:05:25The sun's coming up.
00:05:26You must have operated all night.
00:05:27You're a machine.
00:05:28Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
00:05:29All right.
00:05:30It's time for some much-needed Shaddai.
00:05:31Hey, you.
00:05:32Hey, you.
00:05:33Hey, yourself.
00:05:34Hey, yourself.
00:05:35You're an operating room.
00:05:36You're an operating room light.
00:05:37All right, it's time for some much-needed Shaddai.
00:05:56Hey, you.
00:06:00Hey, yourself.
00:06:02I've been operating all night.
00:06:06I've seen every single patient in that pileup.
00:06:09What I did was extraordinary.
00:06:11How do you always know exactly what I needed?
00:06:15Because I know you better than anyone.
00:06:24Blueberry, your favorite?
00:06:27You remembered.
00:06:29First I did.
00:06:31You know, I've been thinking lately about us.
00:06:36I know it's only been a month, but it just feels different.
00:06:49It's the third time this week.
00:06:50Hospital food's better than someone else's.
00:06:52Hmm.
00:06:54So who's this marksman guy?
00:06:56His surgical skills are unreal.
00:06:58Sure, I thought he was just another new hire.
00:07:00I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:07:04With a talent like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department right now.
00:07:07What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?
00:07:17Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.
00:07:21Who is this guy?
00:07:24Preston Vale, Preston Vale's son, Harvard MBA.
00:07:29He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife, who just recovered from an experimental pancreatic duodenectomy.
00:07:36I'm sorry, am I looking at two board-certified surgeons or med school dropouts?
00:07:43Hard to tell based on your behavior.
00:07:46Sir, about last-
00:07:47Save it!
00:07:49Parker, you couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:07:53You're fired.
00:07:54Clear out your office.
00:07:56New management means new standards.
00:07:59It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.
00:08:03Attention in everybody's attention now.
00:08:08If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs, every surgery must be perfect.
00:08:14No complications, no deaths.
00:08:17This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:08:21Who does he think he is?
00:08:23Dr. House?
00:08:25What is this?
00:08:27Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:08:30Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:08:34This is a hospital.
00:08:36We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
00:08:40That was from my residency direction.
00:08:42Oh, cry me a river!
00:08:44Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients,
00:08:47and a little less time collecting gold stars,
00:08:49you'd be a real doctor.
00:08:51You're fired.
00:08:52Excuse me?
00:08:53Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop,
00:08:55just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.
00:08:58Yes, sir.
00:08:59Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?
00:09:03That was good. Let's go.
00:09:05Let's go.
00:09:10Well, well, well.
00:09:12What do we have here?
00:09:14Sleeping after a shift?
00:09:16Rise and shine, superstar.
00:09:23Did I order a wake-up call?
00:09:25No, you didn't.
00:09:26But here's one anyway.
00:09:27You.
00:09:28Are.
00:09:29Fired.
00:09:32Are you serious?
00:09:33You're firing me?
00:09:35Do you need me to draw you a diagram, doctor?
00:09:38Well, no, but there must be some sort of mistake.
00:09:41Fiona, what's his position here?
00:09:44He's...
00:09:46a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.
00:09:49What's he make?
00:09:51700,000.
00:09:52That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
00:09:55700?
00:09:56Are you insane?
00:09:57You're giving resident money to a first-year who sleeps on the job?
00:10:01This hospital is being scammed!
00:10:03I just worked all night, okay?
00:10:05I'm just taking a nap.
00:10:06Oh, so now you're expecting overtime pay?
00:10:09I've seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.
00:10:13What were you thinking hiring this fraud?
00:10:15Either you're as dumb as these hack surgeons, or this is some sort of insurance scam.
00:10:21Adrian and I might be sleeping together, but I can't let him drag me down.
00:10:25My career comes first.
00:10:27Boy, bye.
00:10:29There must be some clerical error.
00:10:32His credentials.
00:10:34Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:10:37Fiona.
00:10:39Dr. Marksman.
00:10:42You are F-I-R-E-D.
00:10:45Fired.
00:10:47Clear out your office.
00:10:48Clear out your locker.
00:10:50Or get the hell out of my hospital.
00:10:53This is a mistake, okay?
00:10:54You need to check the surgical lock.
00:10:55Oh, you don't get to wear that.
00:10:56What?
00:11:04I see.
00:11:07Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:11:09You don't understand.
00:11:10He's the one who-
00:11:11Didn't I fire you two already?
00:11:13Beat it.
00:11:15Vail is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:11:17Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:11:18I understand.
00:11:19Hospital politics.
00:11:20Look, I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.
00:11:25Meet me in the lobby after your shift.
00:11:26I'll be waiting.
00:11:27I'll be waiting.
00:11:28I'll be waiting.
00:11:29You care to explain this?
00:11:30I'll be waiting.
00:11:31I'll be waiting.
00:11:32I'll be waiting.
00:11:34I'll be waiting.
00:11:35I'll be waiting.
00:11:48be waiting. You care to explain that little exchange? The board won't like this. Four
00:12:06attendings dismissed in one day. Patient care will suffer. Fear is a weapon, Fiona. I intend
00:12:13to wield it. Or perhaps you're more concerned with one surgeon in particular? Your little
00:12:19scam artist situationship? No, Preston. He means nothing to me. Really. I have no personal
00:12:26stake in your staffing decision. Let's be clear about your future here. Do you want to be with
00:12:31the nobody collecting unemployment checks? Or the man who signs everyone's paychecks, including
00:12:38yours? The man who signs everyone's paychecks. Even the most attractive administrators need
00:12:46to be reminded who's in charge around here. Hey, Dad. What's wrong? Your mother's having
00:13:00a rough week of recovery. She'll be okay, but I need you to take full control of the hospital.
00:13:05And Preston, there's something critical you need to know. Of course. What is it? That
00:13:11new surgeon, Dr. Marksman? Whatever happens, make sure you take care of him. Dr. Marksman?
00:13:17Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired. Get out of my hospital. Christ. The resident I just
00:13:24fired? Preston? Are you there? Check the staff roster. See if we have another Marksman working
00:13:33for us here. I had to back up the Briggs truck to get him here. He's a surgeon who saved your
00:13:40mother's life, and he's pioneering our experimental surgery program. The hospital's reputation rests
00:13:47on his work.
00:13:55Ah, yes. I see now. There's another surgeon attending with that name. Dr. Marksman, pioneer
00:14:00in experimental trauma surgery. Two-time Florence Nightingale, medal recipient for medical excellence.
00:14:07Three-time Apex award winner for clinical research. Is this who you mean, Dad?
00:14:10That's our man. There's another surgeon with the same last name who's been a disaster for
00:14:15us. Negligent, lazy, you name it. Do me a favor. Fire him.
00:14:20Already done, Dad. I fired his slacker ass this morning.
00:14:24Thank God. Almost thought I fired our star surgeon.
00:14:29Good work, son. I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
00:14:34Just, uh, just take care of Mom, all right? I got everything else under control.
00:14:45See? Told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless.
00:14:49Now, about your career trajectory.
00:14:52Mr. Vale, sir. Can't you see I'm busy? Multiple traumas incoming. The six-car pileup. You fired half
00:14:59our surgery team. What's your point? ER is crashing. We've no one left who can handle it.
00:15:10Give me the situation. Now. Six critical traumas. Three more incoming. Multiple crush injuries.
00:15:17Arterial bleed, sir. We're losing patients. What are our options? There might be one solution.
00:15:24Well, spit it out. Dr. Marksman. He handled four critical traumas alone last night. If we can get
00:15:30him back here. Marksman. Right. That's the men we need. Fiona, call him. Which Dr. Marksman should I?
00:15:37The genius surgeon. The one I didn't fire. Keep up.
00:15:40What the hell? Where'd all this stuff go?
00:16:03Idiot left his research notes.
00:16:06Mmm. Modified trauma protocol.
00:16:10Wait. These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:16:16Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:16:21Hello? Dr. Marksman? Multiple critical traumas in the ER.
00:16:26Preston Vale says if you can handle this crisis, there's a monster promotion waiting.
00:16:31I'm on my way.
00:16:31With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.
00:16:39They'll make me department head. And I can finally make seven figures.
00:16:43Well? Dr. Marksman's on his way.
00:16:52Thank God.
00:16:53Now, about your loyalty.
00:17:05Adrian meant nothing. I was using him to advance my career. You're my future.
00:17:13That's my girl.
00:17:13I'm on a shift in an hour ago. The boss's son is up to something.
00:17:25To hell with this. I'm going out.
00:17:39piece of shit.
00:17:45Get your hand on my girl.
00:17:50Oh, knock it off, Adrian. You mean to tell me that the brilliant surgeon can't see what's been
00:17:57happening under his own nose? You mean to tell me that you've been messing around with this
00:18:01incompetent nepo baby? I can choose who I want. And I don't want a disgrace surgeon with no future.
00:18:07You pathetic loser.
00:18:25We're done, Adrian. Ancient history.
00:18:28Are you serious? Just like that.
00:18:33Sorry that this bum wrinkled your jacket, sir.
00:18:38Why are you doing this, Fiona? Am I just a stepping stone to you?
00:18:41I need someone with a future. Not someone who sleeps while patients are dying.
00:18:50Keep it for when you get lonely and horny. It's the closest you'll ever come to the real thing again.
00:19:00Look at us, Adrian. I'm the future of Vale Hospital, and you...
00:19:08just a slacker and scrubs. You're washed up, Marksman.
00:19:13Perhaps try nursing? I hear they're always hiring.
00:19:17Fiona, I met you here, and it made me want to stay.
00:19:20I thought we could build a family together.
00:19:24Get over yourself.
00:19:25You think I'm going to stay with someone who lied about their credentials?
00:19:29President Vale would never have hired someone who sleeps during shifts.
00:19:34Yes. We're done.
00:19:38I'm not done. But when I am, there won't be a Vale Hospital left standing.
00:19:45You can count on that.
00:19:49No, no, no. Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian. Your troubles are just getting started.
00:19:53He'll authorize you to be here.
00:19:59Mr. Vale, I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision, we've stabilized all the patients
00:20:05from the multi-car accident, and the situation is completely under control.
00:20:09You're Dr. Marksman.
00:20:11Ah, yes. The very same.
00:20:13My father mentioned your exceptional credentials. Harvard Medical, was it?
00:20:18No, no.
00:20:19These morons have no idea I'm taking credit for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.
00:20:25As long as the boss's son is impressed, I'll be chief of surgery by next month.
00:20:29Mr. Vale, I've identified who's responsible for all the issues in OR3 today.
00:20:35He was sleeping while a patient almost died on the table. Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
00:20:40Dr. Hart.
00:20:51Incredible news. Dr. Adrian Marksman, that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking,
00:20:57he's just been terminated from Vale Hospital.
00:21:00When?
00:21:01Less than an hour ago. Dismissed by President Vale's son.
00:21:06Huh. Amazing.
00:21:09I'd pay to see Nelson Vale's face when he discovers that his prized surgeon was fired by his submental son.
00:21:17With, uh, respect, we're still establishing our reputation.
00:21:21Would someone of Marksman's caliber even consider joining us?
00:21:25Well, I'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:21:28Full department autonomy, research funding, state-of-the-art facilities,
00:21:33and if necessary, my personal involvement.
00:21:40His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.
00:21:43Have my car brought round.
00:21:45I'm going to Vale Hospital personally.
00:21:48And Adrian Marksman, he's leaving with me.
00:21:51What kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:22:01Now, don't insult our intelligence. A patient coded while you were off taking a nap.
00:22:05The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental, yet you stand there denying it.
00:22:09This is crazy. You've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon, and when a complication occurs,
00:22:15which happened in this hospital under your incompetent leadership, you blame me.
00:22:23The collective medical knowledge in this room isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.
00:22:28If you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be, you would still have a job.
00:22:34I'm not going to stand here and debate medicine with you in front of Mr. Vale.
00:22:37Security, please detain him.
00:22:45What exactly are you accusing me of?
00:22:47Either confess to medical malfeasance, or they'll escort you to the police for criminal negligence.
00:22:54Adrian, I never realized you were capable of endangering patients.
00:22:58What other medical atrocities have you committed?
00:23:01You better confess now, or we'll do everything in your power to make sure you lose your medical license.
00:23:07Fine. Go ahead. Do your worst.
00:23:11Let's see if a single piece of evidence holds up in front of the medical board.
00:23:16You really underestimate my family's influence, don't you?
00:23:21Don't you realize that Mr. Vale here can end your entire career with one phone call?
00:23:26Sir, I strongly recommend that we make an example out of him.
00:23:29After all, he'll be a danger to his patients wherever he goes.
00:23:32Preston, you can't let him walk away after this. Not after what he did to our patients.
00:23:39I'm contacting the medical board right now.
00:23:42As of this moment, Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted from Vale Hospital and every medical institute in the country.
00:23:49Plans in motion, Adrian.
00:23:51Do you know what that means? It means that you will never practice medicine in this country again.
00:23:59I have one question before I go.
00:24:01Does your father know you fired me?
00:24:04My father's the one who asked me to fire you, you dipshit.
00:24:07You thought you were some brilliant surgical god, didn't you?
00:24:14Security, remove this criminal from hospital property immediately.
00:24:17Immediately.
00:24:18Yes, doctor.
00:24:19Right away, sir.
00:24:23That's quite enough.
00:24:24Let him go.
00:24:38Dr. Marksman is about to accept the position as chief of surgical innovation at Heart Medical Center.
00:24:45I know you. You're Vivian Hart, the surgical upstar from that medical clinic across town.
00:24:54That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you, Mr. Vale.
00:24:58Vivian, I haven't seen you since the John Hopkins Symposium like four or five years ago.
00:25:03What are you doing here?
00:25:05Well, I'm here for the most innovative surgeon in the country, of course.
00:25:08Wait. Are you seriously suggesting this negligent doctor has value?
00:25:15He was sleeping during rounds.
00:25:17Is this how Vale Hospital discards its exceptional talent?
00:25:21Your father built this institution's reputation of medical excellence, not petty politics.
00:25:28Dr. Hart, with all due respect.
00:25:31This is a conversation between medical directors.
00:25:33Someone in your position should recognize when to maintain silence.
00:25:36Dr. Hart, I must inform you that Dr. Marksman represents a serious liability.
00:25:42He compromised patient safety and-
00:25:45I don't believe I requested your medical opinion, Dr.
00:25:48Marksman. David Marksman.
00:25:50I have neither time nor interest in your assessment.
00:25:55After he decided to go to sleep, we had a critical surgical complication.
00:26:01His negligence led to the problem.
00:26:02His actions not only endangered patients, it compromised my hospital's reputation.
00:26:09Are you really willing to defend someone who violates the Hippocratic Oath?
00:26:13Did you actually consult with your father before dismissing Dr. Marksman?
00:26:18Of course I consulted my father.
00:26:22He's the one who specifically mentioned his dangerous surgical shortcuts and inflated reputation.
00:26:27Dangerous shortcuts. Is that what President Vail really said?
00:26:32His exact words were, remove him at first opportunity.
00:26:35President Vail was the one that recruited me. This makes absolutely no sense.
00:26:39Please, Adrian. The President wouldn't personally recruit a mid-level surgeon like you.
00:26:45Those gala invitations were professional courtesy, not genuine respect.
00:26:50Well, if that's the way things work at Vail, I have nothing more to contribute to any of you.
00:26:55Dr. Marksman, would you consider joining Heart Medical Center as our Chief of Surgery?
00:27:02Well, I've...
00:27:03Full department autonomy, protected research time, a surgical fellowship in your name, and a seven-figure salary package.
00:27:20And cash. Dr. Marksman, I want you to revolutionize our surgery program.
00:27:48Yeah. Hopefully this shows you. I mean what I say.
00:27:59Chief of Surgery?
00:28:03You're offering all this to a surgeon who can't even keep his eyes open on the job?
00:28:08Dr. Heart, have you completely lost your medical judgment, or are you on drugs?
00:28:12Dr. This is absurd. He was a mediocre surgeon here at Vail, and now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department?
00:28:20Dr. The medical board should review your hiring practices.
00:28:27Vivian, I appreciate your confidence. This isn't about money.
00:28:33Dr. Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you.
00:28:38Dr. She's offering herself up to him. She can't do that.
00:28:42Are you a doctor or a call girl?
00:28:44Dr. At Heart Medical Center, you will be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves,
00:28:50including a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value.
00:28:56And I do mean anything, Dr. Marksman.
00:28:58Dr. Heart, 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.
00:29:10My father confirmed it himself.
00:29:12Is that precisely what Nelson Bale told you?
00:29:15His exact words.
00:29:18Negligence, Surge.
00:29:19What are those?
00:29:23Personal gifts from your father?
00:29:25My fellowship offer?
00:29:31My personal research lab?
00:29:32My surgical team?
00:29:34I'm leaving it all behind.
00:29:37You can tell President Bale that as of this moment, Dr. Marksman has permanently withdrawn
00:29:43from Bale Hospital and all of its affiliated institutions.
00:29:46You know what? Spare us the theatrics, Adrian.
00:29:50You never deserved those privileges in the first place.
00:29:53The medical board is going to see that justice is done.
00:29:56Oh, your stupidity, it's just astonishing.
00:30:01You treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels.
00:30:05This man is a life-saving artist.
00:30:12Dr. Heart, I understand there's some competition between your center and Bale Hospital.
00:30:17Yeah, look, I'll be real.
00:30:20We're struggling to get out from under their shadow.
00:30:22Look, I'd be happy to help you out with that.
00:30:24Take me on, and I'll transform Heart into the number one surgical institution in the country.
00:30:31Look at yourself, Adrian. Offering your skills to a struggling clinic.
00:30:35How pathetically desperate.
00:30:37Oh, a backstabbing bottom feeder like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his caliber.
00:30:44How dare you talk to me like that!
00:30:47Your malpractice has caused catastrophic damage to my hospital's reputation.
00:30:53As the responsible party, I demand that you issue a formal apology to one of the major medical journals.
00:31:00And with an explanation to every affected Bale Hospital patient.
00:31:05Refuse me, and I will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently.
00:31:10That accusation isn't just baseness. It's absurd.
00:31:14What exactly do you think you're going to do about it?
00:31:17You've got no choice but to sign this confession.
00:31:19Oh, stop threatening my chief surgeon.
00:31:22If you insist on pursuing this vendetta, have your attorney send a formal complaint to Heart Medical Center.
00:31:28We'll consider it nothing less than a declaration of total war.
00:31:32If it's war you want, I will obliterate your dime store clinic with everything that I've got.
00:31:40Let's go.
00:31:42One more second and this cesspool is going to make me physically ill.
00:31:54Mr. Vale, don't you waste another precious moment on those secondary practitioners.
00:31:58David, you've proven your loyalty. The chief of surgery position is yours, effective immediately.
00:32:07This is extraordinary. Thank you. I am honored beyond words.
00:32:15Don't forget about me, Preston.
00:32:18Don't worry, babe. You will be thoroughly compensated for your loyalty.
00:32:24How exciting.
00:32:25Mr. Vale, I swear on my medical oath that I will not disappoint you.
00:32:32Mr. Vale, a commuter train derailed. Six critical patients incoming. Dr. Marksman, OR1 now.
00:32:39Now's your time to shine, Dr. Marksman.
00:32:41Shit. I'm screwed. Adrian's surgical journal with all his proprietary techniques is still in my office.
00:32:46If Preston finds out, I stole it and then couldn't even use it properly.
00:32:50I implemented a groundbreaking surgical protocol that I invented myself.
00:32:56These techniques are revolutionary. I'll walk you through it in detail after the emergency.
00:33:02It's impressive, Dr. Marksman. You've obviously got your own methodology.
00:33:07No need to bore me with the specifics. I trust your brilliance.
00:33:10Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman. With you leading my surgical team,
00:33:13I can focus on what really matters. Hospital expansion.
00:33:19Again, sir, I'm deeply honored.
00:33:27Behold, Vale Hospital's new chief of surgery.
00:33:31Let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now.
00:33:33I'm glad you're feeling better, honey.
00:33:39Yeah. Well, sorry. Who's this?
00:33:47Nelson Vale speaking.
00:33:48President Vale, Dr. Vivian Hart here.
00:33:51I am calling to let you know that as of this morning,
00:33:54Hart Medical Center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena.
00:33:58Revolutionary surgical procedures are Vale Hospital's domain.
00:34:03Are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight?
00:34:07This is merely a professional courtesy call, not an invitation for debate.
00:34:11Now, just...
00:34:17What is that conniving bitch plotting?
00:34:20She knows Adrian is our surgical secret weapon.
00:34:24Why would she deliberately provoke a medical war she has absolutely no chance of winning?
00:34:29I don't know.
00:34:30I don't know.
00:34:30I don't know.
00:34:31I don't know.
00:34:31I don't know.
00:34:32I don't know.
00:34:32I don't know.
00:34:32I don't know.
00:34:39Dad, we've got multiple traumas coming in.
00:34:40Just tell me you didn't fire Dr. Marksman.
00:34:44Dad, relax.
00:34:45I fired the other one.
00:34:47That incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned.
00:34:49Then explain to me why Hart Medical Center believes they can suddenly challenge our
00:34:55surgical supremacy.
00:34:57Because I masterfully led Vivian Hart into a false sense of reality.
00:35:02There's no way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures.
00:35:07I convinced Vivi that she's acquired surgical brilliance.
00:35:10But in reality, she's hired our disgraced, discarded loser.
00:35:14So you deliberately manipulated Vivian?
00:35:17She thinks she's hired genius behind Vail Hospital's groundbreaking procedures.
00:35:22That's why she had the audacity to declare war on you.
00:35:25Impressive, son.
00:35:26You're finally showing some of the leadership qualities.
00:35:29I've been waiting to see out of you.
00:35:31I think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division.
00:35:38Dad, this is everything I've worked for.
00:35:41We'll get to work immediately.
00:35:43We're going to expose Hart Medical Center for the low-grade institution it truly is.
00:35:51Their humiliation will be quick and absolute.
00:35:54I won't let you down.
00:35:57Darling, surgical innovation is the future of Vail.
00:36:01Preston only got his MBA last year.
00:36:04Do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program?
00:36:08I would never take a risk like this if Preston was our only asset.
00:36:13Remember, we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon.
00:36:18You mean the surgeon that saved my life?
00:36:21Dr. Adrian Marksman.
00:36:23Exactly.
00:36:24And all I need to do is stay hands-off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents.
00:36:33As long as Adrian is with Vail Hospital, Hart Medical Center has no chance of competing.
00:36:40Not only that, Vivian fell for Preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster,
00:36:47Dr. David Marksman.
00:36:50All we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble.
00:36:57So, now that you've seen the surgical department, what do you think?
00:37:08It's not bad.
00:37:10It's a small team, but they're talented.
00:37:13What you've built here, it's impressive, Viv.
00:37:18It's good to see you again after all these years, Adrian.
00:37:22You too.
00:37:23We need to expand.
00:37:25It's too small for what I'm planning.
00:37:28Also, I heard you weren't the only surgeon Preston Vale fired.
00:37:38We have all the angles figured out, don't you?
00:37:40And I always find the best one.
00:37:51I'm gonna start recruiting.
00:37:52Good.
00:37:56The faster we rise, the more rewarding this partnership becomes.
00:38:13This better be good.
00:38:14Mr. Vale, you wanted to see me?
00:38:22My father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department.
00:38:28Given your new position as chief of surgery, I'm appointing you head of innovation.
00:38:32Mr. Vale, I, uh, is there an issue with that?
00:38:37No, absolutely not.
00:38:38The budget for innovation is astronomical, and President Vale has already handed control to his son.
00:38:45If I oversee these procedures, I could divert significant resources to my personal research.
00:38:50Mr. Vale, you can trust me completely.
00:38:54I am precisely the right man for the job.
00:38:59Preston, we have a catastrophe on our hands.
00:39:01Two attending surgeons just submitted their resignation simultaneously.
00:39:04The department can't possibly maintain its caseload.
00:39:06What? They both resigned at once?
00:39:08What was their explanation?
00:39:09They refused to disclose their reasons.
00:39:11But there's talk they were recruited by a former Vale physician.
00:39:14Along with the three other surgeons you fired before.
00:39:16Former physician Adrian Marksman, this has his saboteur signature all over it.
00:39:21President, what's our contingency plan? The surgical department is severely understaffed.
00:39:26If any more surgeons leave, patients will suffer.
00:39:29Okay, everybody needs to remain calm.
00:39:33You still have me. I can rebuild this department.
00:39:37Ah, yes. With your stellar reputation, we should be able to get the best of the best.
00:39:41Exactly. So we lost some second-rate talent. Let him go.
00:39:46I'll make some calls to Cedars-Sinai and UCLA.
00:39:53Good work, Marksman.
00:39:58This is working out perfectly. Now I can install my own allies in key positions.
00:40:03Soon, I'll control the entire hospital's medical direction.
00:40:16It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Hart.
00:40:35This is Dr. Parker here. He's a triple board certified surgeon, and soon he'll be the head of trauma surgery.
00:40:41This is Dr. Rose, Chen, Rose, and Thomas. All consummate professionals. My most trusted colleagues back at Vail.
00:40:53With this surgical team, Hart Medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country.
00:40:59Actually, the whole world.
00:41:01We're eager to begin, Dr. Hart.
00:41:04Well, welcome to Hart Medical Center.
00:41:08I am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us, but I do need to be transparent.
00:41:15We have got considerable ground to cover before we can truly challenge Vail Hospital's dominance.
00:41:20Have no fear, Dr. Hart. With Adrian leading our team, we'll be three steps ahead of anything Vail attempts.
00:41:27Yes, but Vail has already implemented Adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols.
00:41:33Yeah, about that. It's a preliminary version. If they continue to develop this approach without modification...
00:41:38Then what?
00:41:39A lot of deaths. A lot of lawsuits. A lot of patients could be harmed. Or worse.
00:41:46These procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement.
00:41:51Those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training without that foundation.
00:41:56We're talking about serious complications. Preventable harm.
00:42:00Our first priority has to be patient safety. We need to perfect these procedures,
00:42:05and then we can find a way to prevent Vail from continuing with the flawed protocols.
00:42:11Exactly. It's not about competition or pride. It's about saving lives.
00:42:17We're using our experience with the trial procedures I did at Vail to develop next-generation surgical techniques,
00:42:24eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies.
00:42:29Even if Vail Hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new,
00:42:33we'll maintain our significant advantage. And if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols,
00:42:41rest assured, their outcomes will deteriorate. I don't wish it upon their patients, that's for sure.
00:42:47Remember this moment. In this battle for medical supremacy, Heart Medical Center will emerge victorious.
00:42:54It's 3 a.m. I lost track of time again.
00:43:10Viv, you surprised me.
00:43:14Looks like you could use a nice rub. Do you mind?
00:43:17No. I mean, yeah. What do you give all your surgeons massages?
00:43:27Only the ones I really, really like.
00:43:34You really, really liked me?
00:43:36Adrienne, I've really, really liked you since residency. Nothing's changed.
00:43:41You were our most brilliant resident in the program. I never imagined someone like you would like me.
00:43:48There was never anyone else that got my attention.
00:43:51Only you.
00:43:54But you were completely oblivious. And then you just vanished from the program.
00:44:00Well, I left to join the Experimental Surgical Fellowship in Switzerland.
00:44:04I know. Your talent was extraordinary even then. Back then, I made a promise to myself that we would
00:44:14work together again someday. You know, when I established Heart Medical Center, my first priority
00:44:20was recruiting you. But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Bale, had already secured your contracts
00:44:28with ridiculous incentives. I understand now.
00:44:40So, should we pick up where we left off in residency? You're the boss. That's right.
00:44:48And as your boss, I say, come home with me. Tonight? You lost everything when Preston fired you.
00:44:56Hospital privileges. Research funding. Even your hospital-subsidized apartment.
00:45:06You have literally nowhere else to go tonight. Come with me.
00:45:13Where?
00:45:14My place.
00:45:16All right. I'll admit it. That was the best meal I've had in months.
00:45:29Hmm. Careful, Dr. Marksman. I might start thinking you're easy to please.
00:45:33That just depends on the company.
00:45:35Well, starting tonight, this is your new home. Until the program's fully established, it just
00:45:43makes sense. Are you sure about that? We already work late hours. Living together could get complicated.
00:45:53Well, I like complicated. Keeps things interesting.
00:45:57And where exactly will I be sleeping?
00:46:01Well, my master suite has a California king.
00:46:12Plenty of room. If things ever need to get more collaborative.
00:46:20Really?
00:46:22Relax. I'm only teasing. Tonight, at least. Come on.
00:46:31I'll show you your room.
00:46:35Unless you'd rather have a nightcap. And mine.
00:46:44Things could get dangerous.
00:46:51Is this pathetic attempt really the best that you can do?
00:46:53You are completely worthless as surgeons.
00:47:00Dr. Marksman, the experimental procedures we're trying to replicate here are extraordinarily intricate.
00:47:06We need at least, uh, six months to properly master...
00:47:10Six months? You have 72 hours. And I expect hourly updates on my desk.
00:47:15Sir, brushing these delicate procedures dramatically increases the possibility of potentially fatal complications.
00:47:21Three days. Then you don't get one hour more.
00:47:26Go. Go.
00:47:31Report, Dr. Marksman. What's our status?
00:47:33Excellent progress, Mr. Vale. We will be advancing to phase two implementation within three days.
00:47:40That's exactly what I wanted to hear. I knew my judgment in appointing you was flawless.
00:47:49Preston, I need an update on the experimental surgery program.
00:47:54Everything's proceeding perfectly, Father.
00:47:55Outstanding. When this is done, I'll throw you a huge party to celebrate the launch.
00:48:01Your father must be so proud of you.
00:48:03Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman. I'll make sure my father understands your invaluable contribution.
00:48:10This is my shot. Why settle for chief of surgery? With the right maneuvering,
00:48:14I could become the next chief medical officer of Vale Hospital.
00:48:17Mr. Vale, my purpose is to execute the visionary medical strategies of brilliant administrators such as
00:48:26yourself. I believe that in the position of chief medical officer, I could implement your ideas more
00:48:32effectively throughout the entire hospital. If these procedures prove successful, I will personally
00:48:37discuss your advancement with the board. Truly, that's... I am profoundly grateful, sir. Thank you.
00:48:56You're finally awake. You can keep appreciating the view while you eat.
00:49:12All right. Ooh, breakfast. Looks good. Thank you.
00:49:19When you're finished eating, we'll head directly to the surgical wing. Sound good?
00:49:23Yes. Absolutely. Good. Get it up and running, and there may be a special bonus waiting for you.
00:49:36Extra special.
00:49:45Okay, team. We're approaching a critical phase of our program development. We have groundbreaking
00:49:51procedures that we need to perfect in very little time, so let's get to it. Let's start revolutionizing medicine.
00:49:58I have excellent news for all of you. I've just finalized arrangements with the board, and upon
00:50:03successful implementation of our surgical innovations, each of you will receive a fully funded medical mission
00:50:10trip anywhere in the world that you choose to share your expertise. And when the time comes that our
00:50:16procedures receive national certification, every surgeon on this team will be gifted a percentage
00:50:23of the royalties from any techniques we patent. At Hart Medical Center, our surgeons are the lifeblood
00:50:32of our institution, and you will be compensated accordingly. Dr. Hart, we are fully committed to
00:50:41making this surgical program a success. Absolutely. You'll be seeing progress ASAP.
00:50:47Vail Hospital won't know what hit him. With Adrian leading us, victory is guaranteed.
00:50:51Heart is best, heart is best, heart is best, heart is best, heart is best.
00:50:57We're running wild hearts on fire, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. We're chasing dreams and climbing higher, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
00:51:11Can't hold us back, I'm waiting to stay. Can't hold us back, we're going on the way.
00:51:17You always this disciplined? Or are you just trying to impress me?
00:51:34I was trying to impress you, you even know. Midnight meetings, long hours,
00:51:41this work ethic of yours, it's a little dangerous.
00:51:50That's what Belle used to say about me. Then they fired me.
00:51:57And they were fools.
00:52:00You've earned more than just respect here, Adrian. You know that, right?
00:52:05You trying to motivate me again? I don't try.
00:52:17I do.
00:52:20Well, don't work too late.
00:52:26You're no good to me, burnt out.
00:52:36The incompetence is staggering. Yeah, you two are in way over your heads.
00:52:45Do you really think that this is acceptable?
00:52:48I give you one simple task and you screw it up.
00:52:51How the hell did either of you even finish residency?
00:52:55Vail General Hospital is the gold standard and you two are just standing around like clueless little interns.
00:53:01If these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow, you're both gone. Is that clear?
00:53:08Yes, sir.
00:53:09This is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team?
00:53:15Go.
00:53:21Oh, Mr. Vail, what a, what a, what a surprise.
00:53:24Cut the bullshit, Marksman.
00:53:25Are we on schedule or not?
00:53:28Of course. We're, we're just refining the final stages.
00:53:34Yeah, everything is under control.
00:53:36Good. There's a problem. I expect to hear it from you. No cover-ups.
00:53:40Of course, sir.
00:53:44Mr. Vail.
00:53:45Not now. Go get me the latest performance reports.
00:53:48It, uh, looks like Preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here.
00:53:58Don't worry. When Preston makes me chief medical officer, I'm gonna need someone flexible in my corner.
00:54:05I was back at the winning team, Dr. Marksman.
00:54:15Today, Vail Hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next-generation surgical program.
00:54:21This cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry,
00:54:27especially as Heart Medical's competing program was released on the same day.
00:54:31The question now is, who will define the future of surgery?
00:54:36Relax, Mr. Vail. Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance.
00:54:41I hope you're right. For your sake.
00:54:47Didn't you say that, uh, if the rollout went well, that you'd make me chief medical officer?
00:54:54It's not a success. Yet.
00:54:58Enjoy tonight's launch party. Because if our results don't outshine Heart Medical,
00:55:02it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long time.
00:55:05Dr. Heart, we, uh, have a problem.
00:55:21Vail Hospital's new surgical program launches today.
00:55:23That soon?
00:55:25They're hosting a big celebration party tonight.
00:55:30It's a good thing we're ahead of...
00:55:32You're saying we're ready?
00:55:35Why would I lie? We've been tracking Vail's every move.
00:55:40Let him celebrate. It's just gonna backfire.
00:55:43How exactly does that work in our favor?
00:55:45Viv, do you remember what I told you when you first brought me here?
00:55:51Preston Vail's rushing this. He's desperate to beat us to the market.
00:55:55And?
00:55:55Their model's flawed.
00:55:57If they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure and their approach,
00:56:01we won't have to lift a damn finger.
00:56:04And what about when it falls apart?
00:56:06Benhart Medical takes over as the future of modern surgery.
00:56:09So you're saying that Vail Hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that you designed?
00:56:16It's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast.
00:56:19They're using an early draft full of mistakes that I won't make again.
00:56:23They don't even realize the cracks in their foundation.
00:56:26That actually makes perfect sense, which means we've already won.
00:56:33Well, this is a big day for us. We should celebrate.
00:56:37Well, what do you have in mind? Drinks?
00:56:39Not quite. You and I are crashing the Vail launch party tonight.
00:56:44What? Why?
00:56:46Let me worry about that.
00:56:47In the meantime, ensure a smooth rollout.
00:56:50Finish whatever procedures you need to.
00:56:53And meet me in the lobby at 8 p.m. sharp.
00:57:03And meet me in the lobby at 8 p.m. sharp.
00:57:10Preston, we've been through so much together.
00:57:13I know where I'm headed in life, and I know who I want by my side.
00:57:18Tonight, at this launch party, celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program,
00:57:24is like the perfect moment to ask,
00:57:27will you marry me?
00:57:28You should be fun.
00:57:36Absolutely.
00:57:38You really know how to take care of your staff, Mr. Vail?
00:57:41Ugh, stop it.
00:57:43Too bad you're taken.
00:57:44Yeah, yeah, what a shame.
00:57:45Where the fuck is Fiona?
00:57:48Told her meet me out here so we can go to this party together.
00:57:50Forget about her. She's just social climbing trash anyways.
00:57:54We'll show you a better time.
00:57:56Mm.
00:57:59Now that's an offer I can't refuse. Let's go.
00:58:01Fiona who?
00:58:02Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:58:06Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:58:08Let me get to her.
00:58:09The number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later.
00:58:33It's 20 in one day.
00:58:59All clean. All stable. The experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.
00:59:05You did it.
00:59:06No. We didn't.
00:59:11Dr. Marksman, you have to get to Vail's launch party. Pronto. You're already late.
00:59:16I need a change then.
00:59:17You don't have time.
00:59:18Where's Vivian?
00:59:19Taking care of something. She said it's really important that you be there and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:59:26Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vail Hospital's revolutionary surgical program.
00:59:32What the fuck? You're my date and you're wasted.
00:59:51I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.
00:59:54Yeah, God knows why I chose you, but I did. So if you want to keep your job and your status sober up for God's sakes.
01:00:12Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?
01:00:22It's giving orderly sheep.
01:00:27Maybe he's here to bust tables.
01:00:31What are you doing at our launch party? You weren't invited.
01:00:33You're so sure about that? I mean, look at you. This is a black tie. I mean, not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is.
01:00:39Oh, look who crawled in from the gutter. The failed surgeon. The fraud. The nobody.
01:00:50Show up to my party in dirty scrubs, Marksman?
01:00:53Thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the low lives.
01:00:57Guess I need to fire them too.
01:00:58Pardon me, I just came straight from surgery. Because some of us here are real surgeons.
01:01:03What are you trying to say?
01:01:04I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody, isn't me.
01:01:11I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.
01:01:18Got some nerve talking to my man Marksman like that.
01:01:21A genius like him leading our surgical team?
01:01:24You won't be able to get anywhere near our next party.
01:01:26Yeah, because it'll happen in prison.
01:01:29When you're all arrested for medical malpractice, criminal negligence, and identity theft.
01:01:35What are you talking about?
01:01:38Identity theft.
01:01:40Whose identity would we possibly be stealing? Yours?
01:01:44Let me give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.
01:01:47If you don't got it, at least act like you do.
01:01:50Speaking from experience.
01:01:53Look around you.
01:01:55This is the elite among the elite.
01:01:57The best of the best in the medical field.
01:02:00Just because you waltz in here and your dirty cheap scrubs doesn't make you one of us.
01:02:04Good. I'm glad.
01:02:06Because you're all beneath me.
01:02:08Isn't that right, Dr. Marksman?
01:02:11That's enough. Guards!
01:02:14This former employee is threatening us.
01:02:16Kick him out.
01:02:18Touch me and you'll regret it.
01:02:22I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:02:25What are you dumbasses doing?
01:02:27Grab him.
01:02:30I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:02:42Christy.
01:02:44What the hell is this?
01:02:46Dad.
01:02:47Relax. I, uh...
01:02:48Relax?
01:02:50This twat came in uninvited. I was just kicking him out.
01:02:53Guards, remove him immediately.
01:02:54President Vale, it truly is an honor to finally meet you.
01:02:57You get out of my way.
01:03:00Dad, what are you doing?
01:03:00This is, this is, this is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...
01:03:05You are such a fool!
01:03:08Dad, what are you, what are you doing?
01:03:11Open your eyes, Preston.
01:03:13This man, this man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...
01:03:17Uh, you are a... disgrace!
01:03:21Dad!
01:03:23My hospital meant something and you turned it into a... into a...
01:03:28You...
01:03:29You...
01:03:29You are a...
01:03:30Dad!
01:03:31Dad!
01:03:35Dad!
01:03:38President Vale.
01:03:39Fuck away from my dad!
01:03:41Are you out of your mind?
01:03:42He is the best surgeon in this room.
01:03:44Oh yeah, like you give a shit about saving my dad.
01:03:46I'll die before I trust you two.
01:03:48Somebody get me a real doctor!
01:03:50David!
01:03:51David!
01:03:51It's cold!
01:03:52It's cold!
01:03:58Can't think of what to do next?
01:04:00Blanking?
01:04:01Can't think of a diagnosis?
01:04:02Shut up!
01:04:03Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?
01:04:06This is ridiculous.
01:04:07I thought this David guy was a genius.
01:04:10Why are you just standing there?
01:04:11Do something!
01:04:14What's the matter, David?
01:04:15If you need help, just ask.
01:04:18All you have to do is admit what you did.
01:04:20Right here.
01:04:21Right now.
01:04:23I can't blow my cover, but...
01:04:26What if I kill him?
01:04:27I don't know anything about surgeries.
01:04:30I don't even know what's wrong with them.
01:04:32I did medical school on Zoom!
01:04:34David!
01:04:35This is a matter of life and death.
01:04:38Let it go!
01:04:40I...
01:04:42I...
01:04:42I can't.
01:04:46I can't do this.
01:04:49Okay, I can't.
01:04:50I can't do this.
01:04:51I can't do this without my notebook.
01:04:58That's my surgical notebook.
01:05:00He stole it from me.
01:05:08Okay, okay.
01:05:09I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.
01:05:15Okay.
01:05:17Okay, I got it, I got it.
01:05:20Here, take it, take it, take it.
01:05:21Okay, all right, hold his head, but tilt it back and apply pressure here.
01:05:27Okay.
01:05:28Okay.
01:05:39Okay.
01:05:39Okay.
01:05:40Yes.
01:05:41Okay.
01:05:42Okay.
01:05:42Ready.
01:05:43Fall.
01:05:44Fall.
01:05:45Fall.
01:05:45Oh, thank God.
01:05:49Oh, thank God.
01:05:50How are you?
01:05:51What up?
01:05:58That's my guy.
01:05:59Surgical genius.
01:06:02That's how Val makes history.
01:06:03Somebody get this man a medal.
01:06:06Or at least a new department.
01:06:07If you still want that chief medical officer position, say the word.
01:06:12Now, do I have to have somebody escort you out?
01:06:16That maneuver.
01:06:18That notebook.
01:06:19It's mine.
01:06:20Then tell them.
01:06:25Where is he going?
01:06:27Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program at another fake hospital.
01:06:31Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?
01:06:34Say, why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life?
01:06:41That procedure David used, I invented it.
01:06:46What kind of crack are you smoking?
01:06:47He's delusional.
01:06:50Somebody seriously check this guy's medical license.
01:06:52The notebook he used to save your father.
01:06:55That's mine.
01:06:57My handwriting.
01:06:59My theories.
01:07:00You're just pissed because he did what you couldn't.
01:07:04I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories as innovation.
01:07:08And when it fails,
01:07:11then it will.
01:07:13You're not the ones that'll pay for it.
01:07:15The patients will.
01:07:16You can't prove that.
01:07:17Not yet.
01:07:20But you can't fake medicine.
01:07:21Medicine and science always tell the truth.
01:07:29Our three's vitals just dropped.
01:07:30We've got uncontrolled bleeding.
01:07:32Second patient today.
01:07:33Same issue.
01:07:34Vessel ligation failed mid-operation.
01:07:37These techniques aren't viable.
01:07:38The veil method doesn't hold under stress.
01:07:41I mean, come on.
01:07:42Tonight proves it.
01:07:44We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country.
01:07:46I'll be right back.
01:07:56Just coordinating with the team.
01:08:01Talk to me.
01:08:02The vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again.
01:08:04This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.
01:08:09Use the compression step.
01:08:11That only works in controlled scenarios.
01:08:13We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.
01:08:15I designed those techniques for 101 guidance.
01:08:25Not mass implementation.
01:08:27Without calibration.
01:08:29It's unstable.
01:08:31It's dangerous.
01:08:31They tried to commercialize your success without you.
01:08:35Now people are paying for it.
01:08:38All good?
01:08:38Of course.
01:08:41Just routine coordination.
01:08:42Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.
01:08:46Your surgical program is failing.
01:08:48And patients are suffering.
01:08:50You've been out of the field for months.
01:08:52You wouldn't know?
01:08:53Yeah, I would know.
01:08:54Because the procedures that you're butchering, I invented.
01:08:58And I'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing.
01:09:02Bullshit.
01:09:03Oh, yes, this is Dr. Marksman.
01:09:11Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:09:16Okay, listen very carefully.
01:09:18Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging.
01:09:22Because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.
01:09:26No, you need to perform a Marksman-modified Pringle maneuver with selective hepatic arterial legation,
01:09:33followed by a rapid-sequence vascular anatomosis using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures.
01:09:41Yes.
01:09:43Yes.
01:09:46How do we even know he made a phone call?
01:09:48His whole thing is performance, a charade.
01:09:51You stole his methods.
01:09:53This entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork.
01:09:58Uh, that's a lie.
01:10:00Then prove me wrong.
01:10:01Show them all a technique that I didn't create.
01:10:07Why would we believe anything he says?
01:10:09He was fired.
01:10:10Humiliated.
01:10:11You're right, I was fired.
01:10:13And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary.
01:10:19You know what?
01:10:19This is pathetic.
01:10:20He's just jealous.
01:10:22He missed his shot.
01:10:23Is that what you told yourself?
01:10:25When you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal?
01:10:29Even if that were true, this isn't the time or the place.
01:10:33I think it's exactly the time and place.
01:10:35I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator.
01:10:49And thanks to Adrian's guidance, our surgeons were able to stabilize the coating patients.
01:10:56Adrian just cleaned up your mess.
01:10:59You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready and you fired him.
01:11:04The one person who could make them safe.
01:11:08Dad, you don't see the full picture here.
01:11:12Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.
01:11:14This hospital was built on trust and integrity and you've disgraced them both.
01:11:21Your father nearly died because of your ego.
01:11:25Because of his lies.
01:11:28You saved me.
01:11:30You saved Nelson.
01:11:32And now you can save Vale.
01:11:34I tried to warn you all.
01:11:37No one listened.
01:11:37Well, they're listening now.
01:11:39You deserve to be at Vale more than either of those two.
01:11:45And probably even more than me.
01:11:46It was a mistake to let you go.
01:11:50Months ago, I was fired from Vale Hospital with procedures still in development.
01:11:55They weren't ready.
01:11:57They needed supervision.
01:11:59Precision.
01:12:01Development.
01:12:02Instead, someone took my notes and tried to fast-track them for glory.
01:12:06You can't prove that.
01:12:08Security footage.
01:12:13Of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital.
01:12:17Already submitted to the board.
01:12:19I built on what he started, okay?
01:12:23I didn't steal.
01:12:25I enhanced it.
01:12:27Then why were patients about to die?
01:12:30You falsified rollout readiness?
01:12:33He did more than that.
01:12:34He put lives at risk to prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program.
01:12:40We're going to need to open a formal investigation on this.
01:12:44This is absurd.
01:12:45This was supposed to be our night.
01:12:47Oh, it's your night.
01:12:49Just not the way you thought it'd be.
01:12:51You lied to me.
01:12:53I didn't lie.
01:12:54I simplified the truth.
01:12:57Simplify?
01:12:58You could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people.
01:13:02You nearly killed the president of the hospital.
01:13:05You passed up experimental procedures as launch-ready.
01:13:08That's malpractice.
01:13:10They worked.
01:13:11Nelson's alive.
01:13:12Look, the patients, they're alive.
01:13:14Yeah, because of me.
01:13:16Those methods require sequential tensioning, breath control, special clamp techniques.
01:13:21Getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death.
01:13:24Wait, these really are your techniques.
01:13:26I tested them for years.
01:13:29It was never meant for mass rollout.
01:13:32Not without training.
01:13:33You're rewriting history?
01:13:35No, you tried to erase him from it.
01:13:38Adrian Marksman was the reason that Vale's program had a future.
01:13:42And without him, it won't.
01:13:45This is absurd!
01:13:46You're siding with this disgraced former resident?
01:13:50He's not disgraced, son.
01:13:52You are.
01:13:54You hijacked a program you didn't understand.
01:13:57And then when your ego wasn't enough,
01:13:59you propped up this fraud.
01:14:04Taking his side, dad?
01:14:06I'm your son.
01:14:07I'm taking the side of truth.
01:14:10And so will the board.
01:14:11We will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning.
01:14:15Until then, both of you are suspended from all surgical and administrative duties.
01:14:19Suspended?
01:14:20No, no, no, you can't do that.
01:14:21You don't understand the politics of running a hospital.
01:14:24We understand the liability.
01:14:26That's enough.
01:14:29Mr. Preston Vale, Dr. David Marksman, come with us.
01:14:34Dad, you're not going to have to drag me out like this.
01:14:37I'm your son.
01:14:38No, don't you touch me.
01:14:39You're not a child.
01:14:41Hey, Dad!
01:14:42I'm in the side belt, Dad!
01:14:43I'm just kidding, son of a...
01:14:45Dad, why don't you do something?
01:14:46No, get off me!
01:14:47I'm just a son of a...
01:14:48I'm not a child!
01:14:49You're not my responsibility.
01:14:51I'm not a child.
01:14:57I'm not a child.
01:14:58Adrian, please.
01:14:59I made a mistake.
01:15:00I see that now.
01:15:01I should have believed in you.
01:15:03I should have stood by you.
01:15:05You were right about everything.
01:15:07Just give me a second chance.
01:15:13Please.
01:15:14I still love you.
01:15:17Love?
01:15:18You traded him the second someone flashier walked by.
01:15:21You don't understand.
01:15:24I thought he was finished.
01:15:26I thought he had nothing left.
01:15:28So you sold him out.
01:15:30Mocked him.
01:15:31Over and over again.
01:15:33I was scared.
01:15:34I...
01:15:35I didn't know what to do.
01:15:37Oh, you knew.
01:15:38You just didn't care.
01:15:40Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser.
01:15:44Please.
01:15:46Say something.
01:15:48Anything.
01:15:49You had your chance, Fiona.
01:15:52And you spent it holding Preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive.
01:16:04You always belonged in my operating room.
01:16:07And I should have fought harder to keep you if I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes.
01:16:13The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board.
01:16:18And David will never go near another patient again.
01:16:22We're rebuilding.
01:16:23And I want you back as Vale's chief of experimental surgery.
01:16:29I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.
01:16:33You had your chance, too.
01:16:35I'm not the same man that you fired.
01:16:38Well, all the more reason we need you back at Vale.
01:16:42Adrian 2.0.
01:16:43I'm not coming back.
01:16:47You're choosing her?
01:16:48Our rival?
01:16:50You arrogant little ingrate.
01:16:53I open the door for you and you slam it in my face.
01:16:57Just typical.
01:16:58Just when you had your moment, you turned your back on it for, for what, her?
01:17:04She's just gonna use you up and toss you aside like everyone else.
01:17:08Oh, projecting much, Nelson.
01:17:10Get me out of here.
01:17:14Now!
01:17:31Karma has good timing.
01:17:32Speaking of timing, we should get back to work.
01:17:39We have lives to save.
01:17:40Hey!
01:17:42Not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Sergeant.
01:17:47I still owe you that extra special bonus.
01:17:52Now?
01:17:53We'll just spend a time like the present.
01:18:03This is what victory tastes like.
01:18:05It's not bad.
01:18:07I need a second opinion.
01:18:11Well, I've got all night.
01:18:13And you're not leaving this room until I've properly celebrated my genius surgeon.
01:18:18Should I be afraid of a performance review?
01:18:20You're already exceeding expectations.
01:18:25But I am very thorough.
01:18:33Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.
01:18:38Besides meeting you, of course.
01:18:50God.
01:18:53God.
01:18:54You know it.
01:19:01You are.
01:19:02You know it.
01:19:03You are.
01:19:04Oh.
01:19:04You are.
01:19:05And so I am.
01:19:05You are...
01:19:06Most of the experiences.
01:19:06And so on earth or more is what issue for me.
01:19:07But I have all the strikes.
01:19:08And so on you, I think, I could tell it all about you.
01:19:08I completely do much.
01:19:09So Sets under Vienna.
01:19:10If you learned from Math Cormac, how, I will basically go to class, I make 21 wail.
01:19:11And so I can Tell you how far I had feelings for children.
01:19:13And so I can tell you.
01:19:15Because it's back.
01:19:16Fun to your line.
01:19:18You know it.
01:19:18But if your time still does it, I can tell you, I can tell you.
01:19:19Now that I know I can use it at least.
