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