00:00:00Shit about saving my dad. I'll die before I trust you two.
00:00:03Somebody get me a real doctor! David! David!
00:00:07Do something! It's cold!
00:00:12Can't think of what to do next? Blanking? Can't think of a diagnosis?
00:00:17Shut up! Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?
00:00:21This is ridiculous. I thought this David guy was a genius.
00:00:25You're just standing there. Do something!
00:00:27What's the matter, David? If you need help, just ask.
00:00:33All you have to do is admit what you did. Right here, right now.
00:00:38I can't blow my cover, but...
00:00:40What if I kill him? I don't know anything about surgeries.
00:00:45I don't even know what's wrong with them. I did medical school on Zoom.
00:00:49David, this is a matter of life and death. Let it go!
00:00:54I... I...
00:00:57I can't. I can't do this.
00:01:04If you were our most brilliant resident in the program, I never imagined someone like you would like me.
00:01:09There was never anyone else that got my attention.
00:01:11I'll meet you.
00:01:15But you were completely oblivious.
00:01:18And then you just vanished from the program.
00:01:22Well, I left to join the experimental surgical fellowship in Switzerland.
00:01:25I know.
00:01:29Your talent was extraordinary even then.
00:01:32Back then, I made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday.
00:01:37You know, when I established Heart Medical Center, my first priority was recruiting you.
00:01:43But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Bale, had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives.
00:01:51I understand now.
00:02:00So, should we pick up where we left off in residency?
00:02:06I hear the boss.
00:02:08That's right.
00:02:09And as your boss, I say, come home with me.
00:02:14Tonight?
00:02:15You lost everything when Preston fired you.
00:02:18Hospital privileges, research funding, even your hospital-subsidized apartment.
00:02:27You have literally nowhere else to go tonight.
00:02:31Come with me.
00:02:34Where?
00:02:36My place.
00:02:37Hey, Dad.
00:02:46What's wrong?
00:02:47Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.
00:02:49She'll be okay, but I need you to take full control of the hospital.
00:02:54And Preston, there's something critical you need to know.
00:02:57Of course.
00:02:57What is it?
00:02:58That new surgeon, Dr. Marksman.
00:03:01Whatever happens, make sure you take care of him.
00:03:04Dr. Marksman?
00:03:05Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired.
00:03:08Get out of my hospital.
00:03:10Christ.
00:03:11The resident I just fired?
00:03:14Preston?
00:03:15Are you there?
00:03:16Check the staff roster.
00:03:18Um, see if we have another marksman working for us here.
00:03:23I had to back up the brakes truck to get him here.
00:03:27He's a surgeon who saved your mother's life.
00:03:29And he's pioneering our experimental surgery program.
00:03:33The hospital's reputation rests on his work.
00:03:36Ah, yes.
00:03:43I see now there's another surgeon attending with that name.
00:03:47Preston!
00:03:49What the hell is this?
00:03:51Dad.
00:03:52Relax.
00:03:53I, uh...
00:03:53Relax?
00:03:55This twat came in uninvited.
00:03:57I was just kicking him out.
00:03:58Guards!
00:03:59Remove him immediately.
00:04:00President Vail, it truly is an honor to finally meet you.
00:04:03You get out of my way!
00:04:05Dad, what are you doing?
00:04:06This is, this is, this is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...
00:04:10You are such a fool!
00:04:13Dad, what are you, what are you doing?
00:04:17Open your eyes, Preston.
00:04:19This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...
00:04:22He is...
00:04:22You are a...
00:04:25Disgraced!
00:04:27Dad!
00:04:28My hospital meant something and you turned it into a...
00:04:33Into a...
00:04:33Dad!
00:04:36Dad!
00:04:40So you're saying that Vail Hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that you designed?
00:04:46It's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast.
00:04:48They're using an early draft, full of mistakes that I won't make again.
00:04:53They don't even realize the cracks in their foundation.
00:04:56That actually makes perfect sense.
00:05:00Which means we've already won.
00:05:03Well, this is a big day for us.
00:05:05We should celebrate.
00:05:07What do you have in mind?
00:05:08Drinks?
00:05:09Not quite.
00:05:10You and I are crashing the Vail launch party tonight.
00:05:13What?
00:05:15Why?
00:05:16Let me worry about that.
00:05:17In the meantime, ensure a smooth rollout.
00:05:20Finish whatever procedures you need to.
00:05:23And meet me in the lobby at 8 p.m. sharp.
00:05:25We're using our experience with the trial procedures I did at Vail to develop next generation surgical techniques,
00:05:44eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies.
00:05:47Even if Vail Hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new,
00:05:54we'll maintain our significant advantage.
00:05:57And if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols, rest assured, their outcomes will deteriorate.
00:06:04I don't wish it upon their patients, that's for sure.
00:06:06Remember, remember this moment.
00:06:08In this battle for medical supremacy, Heart Medical Center will emerge victorious.
00:06:20It's 3 a.m.
00:06:23Lost track of time again.
00:06:30Viv, you surprised me.
00:06:31It looks like you could use a nice rub.
00:06:36Do you mind?
00:06:38No.
00:06:40I mean, yeah.
00:06:43Will you give all your surgeons massages?
00:06:46Only the ones I really, really like.
00:06:53You really, really like me?
00:06:56Adrienne, I've really, really liked you since residency.
00:06:58Nothing's changed.
00:07:04Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?
00:07:06It's giving orderly sheep.
00:07:12Maybe he's here to bust tables.
00:07:15What are you doing at our launch party?
00:07:17You weren't invited.
00:07:18You so sure about that?
00:07:19I mean, look at you.
00:07:20This is a black tie.
00:07:22I mean, not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is.
00:07:24Oh, look who crawled in from the gutter.
00:07:29The failed surgeon.
00:07:31The fraud.
00:07:33The nobody.
00:07:35Show up to my party in dirty scrubs, Marksman?
00:07:38Thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the low lives.
00:07:41Guess you need to fire them, too.
00:07:43Pardon me.
00:07:43I just came straight from surgery.
00:07:45Because some of us here are real surgeons.
00:07:48What are you trying to say?
00:07:49I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody, isn't me.
00:08:02So, now that you've seen the surgical department, what do you think?
00:08:09It's not bad.
00:08:10It's a small team, but they're talented.
00:08:13What you've built here, it's impressive, Viv.
00:08:16It's good to see you again after all these years, Adrian.
00:08:21You too.
00:08:23We need to expand.
00:08:25It's too small for what I'm planning.
00:08:28Also, I heard you weren't the only surgeon Preston Vale fired.
00:08:38We have all the angles figured out, don't you?
00:08:40And I always find the best one.
00:08:42I'm going to start recruiting.
00:08:53Good.
00:08:55The faster we rise, the more rewarding this partnership becomes.
00:09:01What kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:09:14Don't insult our intelligence.
00:09:16A patient coded while you were off taking a nap.
00:09:19The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental.
00:09:21Yet you stand there denying it.
00:09:22This is crazy.
00:09:24You've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon.
00:09:26And when a complication occurs, which happened in this hospital under your incompetent leadership,
00:09:33you blame me.
00:09:36The collective medical knowledge in this room isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.
00:09:41If you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be, you would still have a job.
00:09:47I'm not going to stand here and debate medicine with you in front of Mr. Vale.
00:09:50Security, please detain him.
00:09:52What exactly are you accusing me of?
00:10:00Either confess to medical malfeasance, or they'll escort you to the police for criminal negligence.
00:10:07Adrian, I never realized you were capable of endangering patients.
00:10:12What other medical atrocities have you committed?
00:10:14You better confess now, or we'll do everything in the power to make sure you lose your medical license.
00:10:20Fine.
00:10:21Go ahead.
00:10:23Do your worst.
00:10:25Let's see if a single piece of evidence holds up in front of the medical board.
00:10:29I know you.
00:10:31You're Vivian Hart, the surgical upstart from that medical clinic across town.
00:10:35That's Dr. Vivian Hart to you, Mr. Vale.
00:10:40Vivian, I haven't seen you since the John Hopkins Symposium, like four or five years ago.
00:10:45What are you doing here?
00:10:46Well, I'm here for the most innovative surgeon in the country, of course.
00:10:49Oh, wait.
00:10:51Wait.
00:10:52Are you seriously suggesting this negligent doctor has value?
00:10:56He was sleeping during rounds.
00:10:58Is this how Vale Hospital discards its exceptional talent?
00:11:02Your father built this institution's reputation of medical excellence, not petty politics.
00:11:08Dr. Hart, I must inform you that Dr. Marksman represents a serious liability.
00:11:23He compromised the patient's safety and...
00:11:26I don't believe I requested your medical opinion, Dr.
00:11:30Marksman.
00:11:31David Marksman.
00:11:32I have neither time nor interest in your assessment.
00:11:35After he decided to go to sleep, we had a critical surgical complication.
00:11:42His negligence led to the problem.
00:11:45His actions not only endangered patients, it compromised my hospital's reputation.
00:11:49Are you really willing to defend someone who violates the Hippocratic Oath?
00:11:55Did you actually consult with your father before dismissing Dr. Marksman?
00:11:59Ch-Chief of Surgery?
00:12:01You're offering all this to a surgeon who can't even keep his eyes open on the job?
00:12:08Dr. Hart, have you completely lost your medical judgment, or are you on drugs?
00:12:13This is absurd.
00:12:15He was a mediocre surgeon here at Vale, and now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department?
00:12:23Medical board should review your hiring practices.
00:12:28Vivian, I appreciate your confidence.
00:12:31This isn't about money.
00:12:35Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you.
00:12:40She's offering herself up to him!
00:12:42She can't do that!
00:12:43Are you a doctor or a call girl?
00:12:46At Hart Medical Center, you will be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves.
00:12:51Including a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value.
00:12:57And I do mean anything, Dr. Marksman.
00:12:58Dr. Marksman, pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
00:13:04Two-time Florence Nightingale, medal recipient for medical excellence.
00:13:08Three-times Apex award winner for clinical research.
00:13:11Is this who you mean, Dad?
00:13:12That's our man.
00:13:13There'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.
00:13:21Fire him.
00:13:23Already done, Dad.
00:13:23I fired his slacker ass this morning.
00:13:26Thank God.
00:13:28Almost thought I fired our star surgeon.
00:13:30Good work, son.
00:13:32I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
00:13:36Just, uh, just take care of Mom, all right?
00:13:38I got everything else under control.
00:13:39See?
00:13:47Told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless.
00:13:51Now, about your career trajectory.
00:13:55Mr. Vale, sir.
00:13:56Can't you see I'm busy?
00:13:58Multiple traumas incoming.
00:13:59The six-car pileup.
00:14:00You fired half our surgery team.
00:14:02What's your point?
00:14:03ER is crashing.
00:14:04We've no one left who can handle it.
00:14:06Give me the situation.
00:14:14Now.
00:14:15Six critical traumas, three more incoming.
00:14:18Multiple crush injuries, arterial bleed, sir.
00:14:21We're losing patients.
00:14:23What are our options?
00:14:24There might be one solution.
00:14:26Well, spit it out.
00:14:27Dr. Marksman.
00:14:29He handled four critical traumas alone last night.
00:14:31If we can get him back here.
00:14:33Marksman.
00:14:34Right.
00:14:34That's the thing we need.
00:14:35Fiona, call him.
00:14:36Which Dr. Marksman should I?
00:14:38The genius surgeon.
00:14:40The one I didn't fire.
00:14:41Keep up.
00:14:57You're finally awake.
00:14:58You can keep appreciating the view while you eat.
00:15:06All right.
00:15:07Ooh, breakfast.
00:15:08Looks good.
00:15:13When you're finished eating, we'll head directly to the surgical wing.
00:15:16Sound good?
00:15:17Yes.
00:15:18Absolutely.
00:15:20Good.
00:15:20Get it up and running, and there may be a special bonus waiting for you.
00:15:30Extra special.
00:15:31Okay, team.
00:15:40We're approaching a critical phase of our program development.
00:15:43We have groundbreaking procedures that we need to perfect in very little time.
00:15:48So, let's get to it.
00:15:49Let's start revolutionizing medicine.
00:15:51I have excellent news for all of you.
00:15:54I've just finalized arrangements with the board, and upon successful implementation of
00:15:59our surgical innovations, each of you will receive a fully funded medical mission trip
00:16:04anywhere in the world that you choose to share your expertise.
00:16:07And, when the time comes that our procedures receive national certification, every surgeon
00:16:14on this team will be gifted a percentage of the royalties from any techniques we patent.
00:16:21At Heart Medical Center, our surgeons are the lifeblood of our institution, and you will
00:16:28be compensated accordingly.
00:16:33Who authorizes you to be here?
00:16:35Mr. Vail, I'm pleased to announce that, under my supervision, we've stabilized all the patients
00:16:40from the multi-car accident, and the situation is completely under control.
00:16:44You're Dr. Marksman.
00:16:46Ah, yes.
00:16:47The very same.
00:16:48My father mentioned your exceptional credentials.
00:16:52Harvard Medical, was it?
00:16:54These morons have no idea I'm taking credit for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.
00:17:00As long as the boss's son is impressed, I'll be chief of surgery by next month.
00:17:04Mr. Vail, I've identified who's responsible for all the issues in OR3 today.
00:17:10He was sleeping while a patient almost died on the table.
00:17:14Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
00:17:16Dr. Hart, incredible news.
00:17:28Dr. Adrian Marksman, that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking, he's just been terminated
00:17:33from Vail Hospital.
00:17:35When?
00:17:36Less than an hour ago.
00:17:38Dismissed by President Vail's son.
00:17:41Huh.
00:17:41Amazing.
00:17:44I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face when he discovers that his prized surgeon was fired
00:17:50by his submental son.
00:17:52With, uh, respect, we're still establishing our reputation.
00:17:56Would someone of Marksman's caliber even consider joining us?
00:18:00Well, I'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:18:03Full department autonomy.
00:18:06Research funding.
00:18:07State-of-the-art facilities.
00:18:10And if necessary, my personal involvement.
00:18:15His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.
00:18:19Have my car brought round.
00:18:20I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.
00:18:24And Adrian Marksman?
00:18:25He's leaving with me.
00:18:26Dr. Hart, we are fully committed to making this surgical program a success.
00:18:37Absolutely.
00:18:38You'll be seeing progress ASAP.
00:18:40Vail Hospital won't know what hit him.
00:18:42With Adrian leading us, victory is guaranteed.
00:18:45Hart is best.
00:18:46Hart is best.
00:18:47Hart is best.
00:18:49Hart is best.

00:27:34I'm pissed
00:27:35because you used
00:27:36rudimentary theories

00:28:52I expect to hear it from you
00:28:53with no cover ups
00:28:54of course sir
00:28:55Mr. Vail
00:28:59not now
00:28:59go get me the latest
00:29:01performance reports
00:29:02it uh
00:29:06looks like Preston's
00:29:08growing a little cold
00:29:09on our lovely administrator here
00:29:11don't worry
00:29:12when Preston makes me
00:29:14chief medical officer
00:29:15I'm gonna need someone
00:29:17flexible in my corner
00:29:19I was back at the winning team
00:29:21Dr. Marksman
00:29:22of course I consulted my father
00:29:29he's the one who specifically mentioned his
00:29:33dangerous surgical shortcuts
00:29:34and inflated reputation
00:29:36dangerous shortcuts
00:29:38is that what President Vail really said
00:29:41his exact words were
00:29:42remove him at first opportunity
00:29:44President Vail was the one that recruited me
00:29:47this makes absolutely no sense
00:29:48please Adrian
00:29:49the President wouldn't personally recruit
00:29:52a mid-level surgeon like you
00:29:53those gala invitations
00:29:55were professional courtesy
00:29:57not
00:29:58genuine respect
00:29:59well if that's the way things work at Vail
00:30:01I have nothing more to contribute
00:30:02to any of you
00:30:04Dr. Marksman
00:30:05would you consider joining
00:30:07Heart Medical Center
00:30:08as our chief of surgery
00:30:09well I've
00:30:12full department autonomy
00:30:13protected research time
00:30:16a surgical fellowship in your name
00:30:18and a seven-figure salary package
00:30:21and a seven-figure salary package
00:30:21and another ACTUAL
00:30:27In cash, Dr. Marksman, I want you to revolutionize
00:30:56our surgery program. Hopefully, this shows you. I mean what I say.
00:31:08You lied to me. I didn't lie. I simplified the truth. Simplify? You could have caused serious
00:31:15harm to countless innocent people. You nearly killed the president of the hospital. You passed
00:31:21up experimental procedures as launch ready. That's malpractice. They worked. Nelson's
00:31:28alive. Look, the patients, they're alive. Yeah, because of me. Those methods require sequential
00:31:33tensioning, breath control, special clamp techniques. Getting one beat wrong is the difference between
00:31:39life and death. Wait, these really are your techniques. I tested them for years. It was
00:31:45never meant for mass rollout. Not without training. You're rewriting history? No, you tried to
00:31:52erase him from it. Adrian Marksman was the reason that Vale's program had a future. And without
00:31:59him, it won't. This is absurd! You're siding with this disgraced former resident? He's not
00:32:06disgraced, son. You are. It's twenty-one day. All clean. All stable. Experimental procedures are all
00:32:20working, Dr. Marksman. You did it. No. We didn't. Dr. Marksman, you have to get to Vale's launch party
00:32:31pronto. You're already late. I need a change there. You don't have time. Where's Vivian? Taking care of
00:32:38something. She said it's really important that you be there and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:32:45Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vale Hospital's revolutionary surgical program.
00:33:01What the fuck? You're my date and you're wasted. I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to
00:33:09accompany you. Yeah. God knows why I chose you, but I did. So if you want to keep your job
00:33:15and your status, sober up for God's sakes.
00:33:35I know it's only been a month, but it just feels different.
00:33:45It's the third time this week. Hospital food's better than someone else's.
00:33:51Hmm. So who's this Marksman guy? His surgical skills are unreal.
00:33:57Sure. I thought he was just another new hire. I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:34:03With talent like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department right now.
00:34:05What is this, a hospital or a nail salon? Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around
00:34:19and gossip. Who is this guy?
00:34:24Preston Vale, Preston Vale's son, Harvard MBA. He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father
00:34:30takes care of his wife, who just recovered from an experimental pancreatico duodenectomy.
00:34:36I'm sorry. Am I looking at two board-certified surgeons or med school dropouts?
00:34:42Hard to tell based on your behavior.
00:34:44Sir, about life-
00:34:45Save it!
00:34:48Parker.
00:34:49You couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:34:53You're fired. Clear out your office.
00:34:56New management means new standards.
00:34:58It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.
00:35:23It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Hart.
00:35:28This is Dr. Parker here. He's a triple board-certified surgeon, and soon he'll be the head of trauma surgery.
00:35:35This is Dr. Rose, Chen, Rose, and Thomas. All consummate professionals. My most trusted colleagues back at Vale.
00:35:44With this surgical team, Heart Medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country.
00:35:54Actually, the whole world.
00:35:55We're here to begin, Dr. Hart.
00:35:58Well, welcome to Heart Medical Center.
00:36:02I am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us, but I do need to be transparent.
00:36:08We have got considerable ground to cover before we can truly challenge Vale Hospital's dominance.
00:36:14Have no fear, Dr. Hart. With Adrian leading our team, we'll be three steps ahead of anything Vale attempts.
00:36:20Yes, but Vale has already implemented Adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols.
00:36:27Yeah, about that. It's a preliminary version. If they continue to develop this approach without modification...
00:36:33Then what?
00:36:34A lot of deaths. A lot of lawsuits. A lot of patients could be harmed. Or worse,
00:36:40these procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement.
00:36:44Those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training without that foundation.
00:36:51We're talking about serious complications, preventable harm.
00:36:55Our first priority has to be patient safety. We need to perfect these procedures,
00:37:00and then we can find a way to prevent Vale from continuing with the flawed protocols.
00:37:05Exactly. It's not about competition or pride. It's about saving lives.
00:37:14Kristen, we've been through so much together. I know where I'm headed in life, and I know who I want by my side.
00:37:22Tonight, at this launch party, celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program,
00:37:28just like the perfect moment to ask, will you marry me?
00:37:32It should be fun. Absolutely. You really know how to take care of your staff, Mr. Vale?
00:37:46Stop it. Too bad you're taken. Yeah, yeah, what a shame. Where the fuck is Fiona?
00:37:52Told her meet me out here so we can go to this party together. Forget about her. She's just social
00:37:57climbing trash anyways. We'll show you a better time.
00:38:04Now that's an offer I can't refuse. Let's go. Fiona who?
00:38:10Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:38:27The number you have dialed is unavailable. Please, try again later.
00:38:38Please.
00:38:40Please.
00:38:46Please.
00:38:48Please.
00:38:50Please.
00:38:52Please.
00:38:54Please.
00:38:58Is this pathetic attempt really the best that you can do?
00:39:05You are completely worthless as surgeons.
00:39:07Dr. Marksman, the experimental procedures we're trying to replicate here are extraordinarily intricate.
00:39:13We need at least six months to properly master...
00:39:17Six months? You have 72 hours, and I expect hourly updates on my desk.
00:39:22Sir, rushing these delicate procedures dramatically increases the possibility of potentially fatal
00:39:29complications. Three days, and you don't get one hour more. Go. Go.
00:39:38Report, Dr. Marksman. What's our status?
00:39:40Excellent progress, Mr. Vale. We will be advancing to phase two implementation within three days.
00:39:47That's exactly what I wanted to hear. I knew my judgment in appointing you was flawless.
00:39:57Preston, I need an update on the experimental surgery program.
00:40:00Everything's proceeding perfectly, Father.
00:40:02Outstanding. When this is done, I'll throw you a huge party to celebrate the launch.
00:40:08Your father must be so proud of you.
00:40:10Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman. I'll make sure my father understands your invaluable contribution.
00:40:17This is my shot. Why settle for chief of surgery? With the right maneuvering,
00:40:21I could become the next chief medical officer of Vale Hospital.
00:40:25Mr. Vale, my purpose is to execute the visionary medical strategies of brilliant administrators such as
00:40:33yourself. I believe that in the position of chief medical officer, I could implement your ideas more
00:40:39effectively throughout the entire hospital. If these procedures prove successful, I will personally
00:40:44discuss your advancement with the board. Truly, that's... I am profoundly grateful, sir. Thank you.
00:41:04All right. I'll admit it. That was the best meal I've had in months.
00:41:09Careful, Dr. Marksman. I might start thinking you're easy to please.
00:41:14That just depends on the company. Well, starting tonight, this is your new home.
00:41:20Until the program's fully established, it just makes sense.
00:41:24Are you sure about that? We already work late hours. Living together could get complicated.
00:41:33I like complicated. Keeps things interesting. And where exactly will I be sleeping? Well,
00:41:44my master suite has a California king. Plenty of room if things ever need to get more
00:41:56more collaborative. Really? Relax. I'm only teasing. Tonight, at least. Come on.
00:42:08I'll show you your room. Unless you'd rather have a nightcap. And mine.
00:42:18Things could get dangerous.
00:42:31Today, Vail Hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next-generation surgical
00:42:37program. This cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical
00:42:42industry. Especially as Heart Medical's competing program was released on the same day. The question
00:42:48now is, who will define the future of surgery? Relax, Mr. Vail. Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance.
00:42:58I hope you're right. For your sake.
00:43:01Didn't you say that, uh, if the rollout went well, that you'd make me chief medical officer?
00:43:09It's not a success. Yet.
00:43:14Enjoy tonight's launch party. Because if our results don't outshine Heart Medical,
00:43:19it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long time.
00:43:33Dr. Heart, we, um, have a problem. Vail Hospital's new surgical program launches today.
00:43:40That soon? They're hosting a big celebration party tonight.
00:43:45It's a good thing we're ahead of...
00:43:50You're saying we're ready? Why would I lie? We've been tracking Vail's every move.
00:43:56Let him celebrate. It's just gonna backfire. How exactly does that work in our favor?
00:44:02Viv, do you remember what I told you when you first brought me here?
00:44:07Preston Vail's rushing this. He's desperate to beat us to the market. And?
00:44:12Their model's flawed. If they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure and
00:44:17their approach, we won't have to lift a damn finger. And what about when it falls apart?
00:44:23Then Heart Medical takes over as the future of modern surgery.
00:44:27I see.
00:44:30Sir, Dr. Marsman is an amazing surgeon. You don't understand. He's the one who...
00:44:35Didn't I fire you two already? Beat it.
00:44:38Vail is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay? Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:44:54I understand. Hospital politics. Look, I know it's only been a month,
00:45:06but there is something real between us. Meet me in the lobby after your shift. I'll be waiting.
00:45:12You care to explain that little exchange?
00:45:28The board won't like this. Four attendings dismissed in one day. Patient care will suffer.
00:45:33Fear is a weapon, Fiona. I intend to wield it. Or perhaps you're more concerned with one surgeon
00:45:40in particular? Your little scam artist situation ship?
00:45:45No, Preston. He means nothing to me. Really. I have no personal stake in your staffing decision.
00:45:50Let's be clear about your future here. Do you want to be with the nobody collecting unemployment checks?
00:45:57Or the man who signs everyone's paychecks? Including yours? The man who signs everyone's paychecks?
00:46:08Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded, who's in charge around here?
00:46:13Our three's vitals just dropped. We've got uncontrolled bleeding. Second patient today. Same issue.
00:46:21Vessel ligation failed mid-operation. These techniques aren't viable. The veil method doesn't hold under stress.
00:46:28I mean, come on. Tonight proves it. We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country.
00:46:33I'll be right back. Just coordinating with the team.
00:46:47Talk to me. The vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again. This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.
00:46:56Use the compression step. That only works in controlled scenarios.
00:47:00We told you these procedures weren't fully tested. Look, just follow the notes.
00:47:09I designed those techniques for 101 guidance. Not mass implementation.
00:47:14Without calibration. It's unstable. It's dangerous.
00:47:18They tried to commercialize your success without you. Now people are paying for it.
00:47:23Okay, I can't. I can't do this. I can't do this without my notebook.
00:47:34That's my surgical notebook. He stole it from me.
00:47:36Okay, okay. I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.
00:47:50Okay.
00:47:53I got it, I got it. Here, take it, take it, take it.
00:47:57Okay. All right, hold his head, but tilt it back and apply pressure here.
00:48:04Okay.
00:48:04Okay. Okay. Okay.
00:48:15Okay. Okay.
00:48:17Okay.
00:48:18Great.
00:48:18Go on.
00:48:25Oh, thank God. How are you?
00:48:27Let it out.
00:48:33That's my guy.
00:48:35Surgical genius.
00:48:37That's how Val makes history.
00:48:39Somebody get this man a medal, or at least a new department.
00:48:43If you still want that chief medical officer position, say the word.
00:48:47Now, do I have to have somebody escort you out?
00:48:50You hijacked a program you didn't understand.
00:48:55And then when your ego wasn't enough, you propped up this fraud.
00:49:02Taking his side, Dad?
00:49:04I'm your son.
00:49:05I'm taking the side of truth.
00:49:08And so will the board.
00:49:09We will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning.
00:49:13Until then, both of you are suspended from all surgical and administrative duties.
00:49:17Suspended?
00:49:18No, no, no, you can't do that.
00:49:20You don't understand the politics of running a hospital.
00:49:22We understand the liability.
00:49:24That's enough.
00:49:27Mr. Preston Vale, Dr. David Marksman, come with us.
00:49:32Dad, you're not going to often drag me out like this.
00:49:35I'm your son.
00:49:36No, don't you touch me.
00:49:37Don't put you...
00:49:38You're not a child.
00:49:39Hey, Dad!
00:49:40I'm a side belt, Dad!
00:49:41Please!
00:49:41You're just kidding, son of a...
00:49:43Dad, do something!
00:49:44Get off me!
00:49:45I'm just...
00:49:45I'm not a child!
00:49:47You're not my responsibility!
00:49:55This better be good.
00:49:57Mr. Vale, you wanted to see me?
00:50:00My father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department.
00:50:10Given your new position as chief of surgery, I'm appointing you head of innovation.
00:50:15Mr. Vale, I, uh...
00:50:16Is there an issue with that?
00:50:18No, absolutely not.
00:50:20The budget for innovation is astronomical, and President Vale has already handed control to his son?
00:50:26If I oversee these procedures, I could divert significant resources to my personal research.
00:50:33Mr. Vale, you can trust me completely.
00:50:36I am precisely the right man for the job.
00:50:39Preston, we have a catastrophe on our hands.
00:50:44Two attending surgeons just submitted their resignation simultaneously.
00:50:46The department can't possibly maintain its caseload.
00:50:49What?
00:50:50They both resigned at once?
00:50:51What was their explanation?
00:50:52They refused to disclose their reasons.
00:50:54But there's talk they were recruited by a former Vale physician,
00:50:57along with the three other surgeons you fired before.
00:50:59Former physician Adrian Marksman, this has his saboteur signature all over it.
00:51:03Preston, what's our contingency plan?
00:51:06The surgical department is severely understaffed.
00:51:08If any more surgeons leave, patients will suffer.
00:51:11Okay, everybody needs to remain calm.
00:51:15You still have me.
00:51:17I can rebuild this department.
00:51:19Ah, yes.
00:51:21With your stellar reputation, we should be able to get the best of the best.
00:51:23Exactly.
00:51:25So we lost some second-rate talent.
00:51:28Let him go.
00:51:30I'll make some calls to Cedars-Sinai and UCLA.
00:51:34Good work, Marksman.
00:51:40This is working out perfectly.
00:51:42Now I can install my own allies in key positions.
00:51:45Soon, I'll control the entire hospital's medical direction.
00:51:51You really underestimate my family's influence, don't you?
00:51:55Don't you realize that Mr. Vale here can end your entire career with one phone call?
00:52:00Sir, I strongly recommend that we make an example out of him.
00:52:03After all, he'll be a danger to his patients wherever he goes.
00:52:06Preston, you can't let him walk away after this.
00:52:10Not after what he did to our patients.
00:52:13I'm contacting the medical board right now.
00:52:16As of this moment, Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted from Vale Hospital and every medical institute in the country.
00:52:23Plan's in motion, Adrian.
00:52:25Do you know what that means?
00:52:27It means that you will never practice medicine in this country again.
00:52:33I have one question before I go.
00:52:35Does your father know you fired me?
00:52:38My father's the one who asked me to fire you, you dipshit.
00:52:43You thought you were some brilliant surgical god, didn't you?
00:52:48Security, remove this criminal from hospital property immediately.
00:52:51Immediately, immediately.
00:52:52Yes, doctor.
00:52:53Right away, sir.
00:52:57That's quite enough.
00:53:10Let him go.
00:53:11Dr. Marksman is about to accept the position as chief of surgical innovation at Heart Medical Center.
00:53:20What the hell?
00:53:25Where'd all this stuff go?
00:53:42Idiot left his research notes.
00:53:43Modified trauma protocol.
00:53:49Wait.
00:53:50These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:53:55Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:54:01Hello?
00:54:01Dr. Marksman, multiple critical traumas in the ER.
00:54:05Preston Vale says if you can handle this crisis, there's a monster promotion waiting.
00:54:10I'm on my way.
00:54:14With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.
00:54:17They'll make me department head, and I can finally make seven figures.
00:54:28Well?
00:54:29Dr. Marksman's on his way.
00:54:31Thank God.
00:54:42Now, about your loyalty.
00:54:45Adrian meant nothing.
00:54:47I was using him to advance my career.
00:54:50You're my future.
00:54:52That's my girl.
00:55:00Beyond a shift in it an hour ago, the boss's son is up to something.
00:55:06To hell with this. I'm going out.
00:55:21Piece of shit!
00:55:26Attention in everybody's attention now.
00:55:30If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs, every surgery must be perfect.
00:55:36No complications, no deaths.
00:55:39This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:55:43Who's he thinking he is? Dr. House?
00:55:45What is this? Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:55:52Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:55:56This is a hospital.
00:55:58We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
00:56:02That was from my residency direction.
00:56:04Oh, cry me a river.
00:56:06Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients and a little less time collecting gold stars,
00:56:11you'd be a real doctor.
00:56:13You're fired.
00:56:13Excuse me?
00:56:14Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop, just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.
00:56:20Yes, sir.
00:56:21Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?
00:56:25That was good. Let's go.
00:56:32Well, well, well.
00:56:33What do we have here?
00:56:35Sleeping after a shift?
00:56:38Rise and shine, superstar.
00:56:44Did I order a wake-up call?
00:56:46No, you didn't.
00:56:48But here's one anyway.
00:56:49You are fired.
00:56:57Adrian, please.
00:56:58I made a mistake.
00:56:59I see that now.
00:57:00I should have believed in you.
00:57:02I should have stood by you.
00:57:04You were right about everything.
00:57:09Just give me a second chance.
00:57:12Please.
00:57:12I still love you.
00:57:14Love?
00:57:17You traded him the second someone flashier walked by.
00:57:20You don't understand.
00:57:22I thought he was finished.
00:57:25I thought he had nothing left.
00:57:27So you sold him out.
00:57:29Mocked him.
00:57:30Over and over again.
00:57:32I was scared.
00:57:33I didn't know what to do.
00:57:36Oh, you knew.
00:57:37You just didn't care.
00:57:39Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser.
00:57:43Please.
00:57:45Say something.
00:57:48Anything.
00:57:48You had your chance, Fiona.
00:57:51And you spent it holding Preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive.
00:57:54All good?
00:58:03Of course.
00:58:05Just routine coordination.
00:58:07Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.
00:58:10Your surgical program is failing.
00:58:12And patients are suffering.
00:58:14You've been out of the field for months.
00:58:16You wouldn't know.
00:58:17Yeah, I would know.
00:58:18Because the procedures that you're butchering, I invented.
00:58:22And I'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess
00:58:24that you made in your surgical wing.
00:58:26Bullshit.
00:58:27Oh, yes, this is Dr. Marksman.
00:58:35Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
00:58:40Okay, listen very carefully.
00:58:42Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging because the vascular bundle clamp
00:58:48technique was improperly executed.
00:58:50No, you need to perform a Marksman-modified Pringle maneuver with selective hepatic arterial legation,
00:58:57followed by a rapid-sequence vascular anatomosis using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures.
00:59:03Yes.
00:59:05Yes.
00:59:07Yes.
00:59:10I don't even know he made a phone call.
00:59:12His whole thing is performance, a charade.
00:59:15You stole his methods.
00:59:16This entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork.
00:59:22Uh, that's a lie.
00:59:24Then prove me wrong.
00:59:25Show them all a technique that I didn't create.
00:59:31Look at yourself, Adrian, offering your skills to a struggling clinic.
00:59:35How pathetically desperate.
00:59:37Oh, a backstabbing bottom feeder like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his
00:59:44caliber.
00:59:44How dare you talk to me like that?
00:59:47Your malpractice has caused catastrophic damage to my hospital's reputation.
00:59:53As the responsible party, I demand that you issue a formal apology to one of the major medical
00:59:59journals and with an explanation to every affected Vale Hospital patient.
01:00:03Refuse me and I will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently.
01:00:10That accusation isn't just baseness.
01:00:13It's absurd.
01:00:14What exactly do you think you're going to do about it?
01:00:17You've got no choice but to sign this confession.
01:00:19Oh, stop threatening my chief surgeon.
01:00:22If you insist on pursuing this vendetta, have your attorney send a formal complaint to Heart
01:00:26Medical Center.
01:00:28We'll consider it nothing less than a declaration of total war.
01:00:32If it's war you want, I will obliterate your dime store clinic with everything that I've got.
01:00:40Let's go.
01:00:42One more second and this cesspool is going to make me physically ill.
01:00:54Mr. Vale, don't you waste another precious moment on those secondary practitioners.
01:00:58David, you've proven your loyalty.
01:01:02The chief of surgery position is yours, effective immediately.
01:01:07This is extraordinary.
01:01:10I am honored beyond words.
01:01:15Don't forget about me, Preston.
01:01:17Don't worry, babe.
01:01:20You will be thoroughly compensated for your loyalty.
01:01:24How exciting.
01:01:26Mr. Vale, I swear on my medical oath that I will not disappoint you.
01:01:31Mr. Vale, a commuter train derailed.
01:01:34Six critical patients incoming.
01:01:36Dr. Marksman, OR1 now.
01:01:38Now's your time to shine, Dr. Marksman.
01:01:40Shit, I'm screwed.
01:01:42Adrian's surgical journal with all his proprietary techniques is still in my office.
01:01:46If Preston finds out, I stole it and then couldn't even use it properly.
01:01:50Korma has good timing.
01:01:55Speaking of timing, we should get back to work.
01:01:59We have lives to save.
01:02:00Hey, not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.
01:02:07I still owe you that extra special bonus.
01:02:12Now?
01:02:13Well, there's no time like the present.
01:02:20This is what victory tastes like.
01:02:25It's not bad.
01:02:27I need a second opinion.
01:02:31Well, I've got all night.
01:02:33And you're not leaving this room until I've properly celebrated my genius surgeon.
01:02:38Should I be afraid of a performance review?
01:02:42You're already exceeding expectations.
01:02:45But I am very thorough.
01:02:50Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.
01:02:58Besides meeting you, of course.
01:03:20I'll be right back.
01:03:23Get your hand off my girl.
01:03:27Oh, just knock it off, Adrian.
01:03:29You mean to tell me that the brilliant surgeon can't see what's been happening under his own nose?
01:03:34You mean to tell me that you've been messing around with this incompetent nepo baby?
01:03:38I can choose who I want.
01:03:39And I don't want to disgrace surgeon with no future.
01:03:42You pathetic loser.
01:03:44We're done, Adrian.
01:04:01Ancient history.
01:04:02Are you serious?
01:04:06Just like that.
01:04:06Sorry that this bum wrinkled your jacket, sir.
01:04:10Why are you doing this, Fiona?
01:04:14Am I just a stepping stone to you?
01:04:16I need someone with a future.
01:04:18Not someone who sleeps while patients are dying.
01:04:25Keep it for when you get lonely and horny.
01:04:28It's the closest you'll ever come to the real thing again.
01:04:30Look at us, Adrian.
01:04:37I'm the future of Vail Hospital.
01:04:39And you?
01:04:43Just a slacker and scrubs.
01:04:46You're washed up, marksman.
01:04:47Perhaps try nursing?
01:04:49I hear they're always hiring.
01:04:52Fiona, I met you here and it made me want to stay.
01:04:55I thought we could build a family together.
01:04:57Get over yourself.
01:05:00You think I'm going to stay with someone who lied about their credentials?
01:05:04President Vail would never have hired someone who sleeps during shifts.
01:05:11We're done.
01:05:13I'm not done.
01:05:14But when I am, there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.
01:05:20You can count on that.
01:05:24No, no, no.
01:05:24Don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.
01:05:26Your troubles are just getting started.
01:05:32Dad, relax.
01:05:33I fired the other one.
01:05:35That incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned.
01:05:38Then explain to me why Heart Medical Center believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy.
01:05:45Because I masterfully led Vivian Hart into a false sense of reality.
01:05:51There's no way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures.
01:05:54I convinced Vivian that she's acquired surgical brilliance.
01:05:59But in reality, she's hired our disgraced, discarded loser.
01:06:03So you deliberately manipulated Vivian?
01:06:05She thinks she's hired genius behind Vail Hospital's groundbreaking procedures.
01:06:11That's why she had the audacity to declare war on you.
01:06:13Impressive, son.
01:06:15You're finally showing some of the leadership qualities.
01:06:18I've been waiting to see out of you.
01:06:19I think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division.
01:06:24Dad, this is everything I've worked for.
01:06:30We'll get to work immediately.
01:06:31We're going to expose Heart Medical Center for the low-grade institution it truly is.
01:06:39Their humiliation will be quick and absolute.
01:06:42I won't let you down.
01:06:46Darling, surgical innovation is the future of Vail.
01:06:50Preston only got his MBA last year.
01:06:52Do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program?
01:06:57I would never take a risk like this if Preston was our only asset.
01:07:02Remember, we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon.
01:07:06You mean the surgeon that saved my life?
01:07:09Dr. Adrian Marksman.
01:07:11Exactly.
01:07:12And all I need to do is stay hands-off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents.
01:07:22As long as Adrian is with Vail Hospital, Heart Medical Center has no chance of competing.
01:07:29Not only that, Vivian fell for Preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster, Dr. David Marksman.
01:07:37What we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble.
01:07:47Months ago, I was fired from Vail Hospital with procedures still in development.
01:07:51They weren't ready.
01:07:53They needed supervision, precision, development.
01:07:58Instead, someone took my notes and tried to fast-track them for glory.
01:08:02Oh, you can't prove that.
01:08:04Security footage of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital.
01:08:14Already submitted to the board.
01:08:15I built on what he started, okay?
01:08:19I didn't steal, I enhanced it.
01:08:23Then why were patients about to die?
01:08:25You falsified rollout readiness?
01:08:29He did more than that.
01:08:31He put lives at risk to prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program.
01:08:37We're going to need to open a formal investigation on this.
01:08:39This is absurd.
01:08:41This was supposed to be our night.
01:08:44Oh, it's your night.
01:08:46Just not the way you thought it'd be.
01:08:48Why would we believe anything he says?
01:08:51He was fired.
01:08:52He was humiliated.
01:08:53You're right, I was fired.
01:08:55And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary.
01:09:01Yeah, you know what?
01:09:02This is pathetic.
01:09:03He's just jealous.
01:09:04He missed his shot.
01:09:05Is that what you told yourself?
01:09:07When you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal?
01:09:11Even if that were true, this isn't the time or the place.
01:09:15I think it's exactly the time and place.
01:09:29I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator.
01:09:32And thanks to Adrian's guidance, our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients.
01:09:39Adrian just cleaned up your mess.
01:09:42You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready, and you fired him.
01:09:48The one person who could make them safe.
01:09:52Dad, you don't see the full picture here.
01:09:54Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.
01:09:57This hospital was built on trust and integrity, and you've disgraced them both.
01:10:02Your father nearly died because of your ego, because of his lies.
01:10:08You saved me.
01:10:11You saved Nelson.
01:10:13And now you can save Vale.
01:10:16I tried to warn you all.
01:10:18No one listened.
01:10:20Well, they're listening now.
01:10:21You deserve to be at Vale more than either of those two, and probably even more than me.
01:10:28It was a mistake to let you go.
01:10:31You always belonged in my operating room, and I should have fought harder to keep you if I'd only
01:10:40known what was going on behind the scenes.
01:10:42The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board, and David will never go near another patient again.
01:10:52We're rebuilding, and I want you back as Vale's chief of experimental surgery.
01:10:59I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.
01:11:03You had your chance, too.
01:11:05I'm not the same man that you fired.
01:11:08Well, all the more reason we need you back at Vale.
01:11:12Adrian 2.0.
01:11:14I'm not coming, man.
01:11:17You're choosing her?
01:11:19Our rival?
01:11:20You arrogant little ingrate.
01:11:23I open the door for you, and you slam it in my face.
01:11:27Just typical.
01:11:29Just when you had your moment, you turned your back on it for, for what, her?
01:11:34She's just going to use you up and toss you aside like everyone else.
01:11:38Oh, projecting much, Nelson.
01:11:42Get me out of here.
01:11:44Now!
01:11:53Are you serious?
01:12:02You're firing me?
01:12:04Do you need me to draw your diagram, Doctor?
01:12:07Well, no, but there must be some sort of mistake.
01:12:10Fiona, what's his position here?
01:12:12He's a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.
01:12:18What's he make?
01:12:19Seven hundred thousand.
01:12:21That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
01:12:23Seven hundred?
01:12:25Are you insane?
01:12:26You're giving resident money to a first-year who sleeps on the job?
01:12:29This hospital is being scammed!
01:12:32I just worked all night, okay?
01:12:34I'm just taking a nap.
01:12:35Oh, so now you're expecting overtime pay?
01:12:38Seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.
01:12:42What were you thinking, hiring this fraud?
01:12:44Either you're as dumb as these hack surgeons,
01:12:46or this is some sort of insurance scam?
01:12:49Adrian and I might be sleeping together,
01:12:52but I can't let him drag me down.
01:12:54My career comes first.
01:12:56Boy, bye.
01:12:58There must be some clerical error.
01:13:00His credentials.
01:13:02Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
01:13:05Fiona?
01:13:08Dr. Marksman,
01:13:09you are F-I-R-E-D fired.
01:13:15Clear out your office.
01:13:17Clear out your locker.
01:13:19Don't get the hell out of my hospital.
01:13:22This is a mistake, okay?
01:13:23You need to check the surgical lock.
01:13:24You don't get to wear that.
01:13:25What?
01:13:26I don't.
01:13:34Jesus, Adrian.
01:13:35What you just pulled off is impossible.
01:13:38I thought you were just some rookie surgeon,
01:13:39but that, that was the most incredible technique
01:13:43I've ever witnessed.
01:13:44Where did you learn to operate like that?
01:13:46What you just did will go down in the history books.
01:13:49Wait.
01:13:50I heard President Bale personally recruited a medical prodigy,
01:13:53who revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.
01:13:57Is that you?
01:14:04Final suture.
01:14:06Miss Vale's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
01:14:13Doctor!
01:14:15The nurses, they said you did it.
01:14:19And you, you actually did.
01:14:23Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.
01:14:27Every surgeon on the West Coast said it was inoperable,
01:14:30that she only had weeks to live, but you, you saved my Catherine.
01:14:36She'll make a full recovery, President Vale.
01:14:38Name your price, whatever it is.
01:14:40We need you at Vale, my hospital.
01:14:45Look, I'll explain later.
01:14:46Right now we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.
01:14:50It's going to take hours.
01:14:51Y'all should go home, get some rest.
01:14:55I'll take over from here.
01:14:56Okay.
01:14:58Good work, everyone.
01:14:59Good work, everyone.
01:15:07Good work, everyone.
01:15:08A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city,
01:15:33sending a surge of critically injured patients flooding into Bale Hospital's emergency department.
01:15:38The fate of these accident victims now rests in the hands of Bale's surgical team,
01:15:43their last hope for survival in the face of devastating trauma.
01:15:47Facials crashing! We need an attending surgeon now!
01:15:50All the hours are full. We got three more criticals incoming.
01:15:53Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding.
01:15:56Well, I can't leave this one. Where's Dr. Stevens?
01:15:58We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the ER.
01:16:03Need a hand?
01:16:19A new hire. You just started this month.
01:16:23Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level one trauma like this.
01:16:27Patient's pressure is dropping.
01:16:29Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman. Patient's yours.
01:16:32Okay, we are going to perform a modified whipple.
01:16:41Whipple? For trauma? That's insane.
01:16:44Trust me.
01:16:46Medicine bomb scissors.
01:16:48Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
01:16:52That procedure will take hours. The patient won't survive.
01:16:56The patient won't survive.
01:16:57Bobicottery. Watch.
01:17:03He's doing it in half the normal time.
01:17:09The bleeding? It's under control. But how did he...?
01:17:14Silk suture.
01:17:17Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
01:17:26I've never seen anything like this.
01:17:32Almost done.
01:17:34This patient's going to make a full recovery.
01:17:43This patient's going to make a full recovery.
01:17:47of blood finalement death in the world.
01:17:48This patient will reduce such as the bucket of money.
01:17:50We haven't seen anything like that.
01:17:54She's one of the mostη
01:18:03deaths that make a ride to the road.
01:18:04Certainly, we've devastated unwell.
