Transcript
00:00:00The patient's crashing! We need an attending surgeon now!
00:00:02The patient will survive.
00:00:04Watch.
00:00:04Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency is ready for a reliable trauma like this?
00:00:08This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:00:10What you just did will go down in the history box.
00:00:13Who is this guy?
00:00:14He's taking over as hospital administrator.
00:00:16New management, new standards.
00:00:18Sleeping after a shift?
00:00:20You are fired.
00:00:21I just worked all night.
00:00:22Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:00:24He's the one.
00:00:25Didn't I fire you too already?
00:00:27Get your hand off my gun arm.
00:00:30We're done, Adrian.
00:00:32I need someone with a future.
00:00:34Dr. Marksman, would you consider joining Hart Medical Center as our chief of surgery?
00:00:39This isn't about money.
00:00:40Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you?
00:00:44These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:00:47With Adrian's techniques, I'll look like a genius.
00:00:50Why is that?
00:00:51Uh, why are you just standing there?
00:00:52Do something!
00:00:53If you need help, just ask.
00:00:54All you have to do is know what you did.
00:00:57A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured
00:01:07patients flooding into Bale Hospital's emergency department.
00:01:10The fate of these accident victims now rests in the hands of Bale's surgical team, their
00:01:15last hope for survival in the face of devastating trauma.
00:01:19Facials crashing!
00:01:20We need an attending surgeon now!
00:01:22All the hours are full.
00:01:23We've got three more criticals incoming.
00:01:24Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding.
00:01:25I can't leave this one.
00:01:26Where's Dr. Stevens?
00:01:27We need another attending surgeon.
00:01:28Everyone else is in the U.R.
00:01:29Need a hand?
00:01:30A new hire.
00:01:31You just started this month.
00:01:32Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level 1 trauma like this.
00:01:33The patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:34Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman.
00:01:35The patient's yours.
00:01:36The patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:37Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman.
00:01:38The patient's yours.
00:01:39Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman.
00:01:40The patient's yours.
00:01:41I don't know.
00:01:42I don't know.
00:01:43I don't know.
00:01:44I don't know.
00:01:45I don't know.
00:01:46I don't know.
00:01:47I don't know.
00:01:48I don't know.
00:01:49I don't know.
00:01:50I don't know.
00:01:51I don't know.
00:01:52I don't know.
00:01:53I don't know.
00:01:54I don't know.
00:01:55I don't know.
00:01:56I don't know.
00:01:57I don't know.
00:01:58I don't know.
00:01:59I don't know.
00:02:00I don't know.
00:02:01I don't know.
00:02:02I don't know.
00:02:03I don't know.
00:02:04I don't know.
00:02:05I don't know.
00:02:06I don't know.
00:02:07I don't know.
00:02:08Okay, we are going to perform a modified whipple.
00:02:13Whipple? For trauma?
00:02:15That's insane.
00:02:16Trust me.
00:02:18Metz and bomb scissors.
00:02:21Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:02:25That procedure will take hours.
00:02:27The patient won't survive.
00:02:29Bovey Cottery.
00:02:32Watch.
00:02:38He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:02:41The bleeding, it's under control.
00:02:44But how did he...?
00:02:47Silk suture.
00:02:53Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:03:01I've never seen anything like this.
00:03:03Almost done.
00:03:08This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:03:23Jesus, Adrian.
00:03:25What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:03:27I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but that...
00:03:30That was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed.
00:03:33Where did you learn to operate like that?
00:03:35What you just did will go down in the history books.
00:03:38Wait.
00:03:39I heard President Vail personally recruited a medical prodigy
00:03:42who revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.
00:03:46Is that you?
00:03:54Final suture.
00:03:56Miss Vail's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:04:00Doctor.
00:04:05The nurses...
00:04:07They said you did it.
00:04:09And you...
00:04:10You actually did.
00:04:14Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.
00:04:17Every surgeon on the West Coast said it was inoperable,
00:04:19that she only had weeks to live, but...
00:04:22You...
00:04:24You saved my Catherine.
00:04:25She'll make a full recovery, President Vail.
00:04:28Name your price whatever it is.
00:04:29We need you at Vail.
00:04:31My hospital.
00:04:35Look, I'll explain later.
00:04:36Right now we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.
00:04:40It's gonna take hours.
00:04:42Y'all should go home, get some rest.
00:04:44I'll take over from here.
00:04:46Okay.
00:04:48Good work, everyone.
00:04:49Thank you, everyone.
00:05:20They're all stable.
00:05:22Every single one of them.
00:05:24Stabilized.
00:05:29Oh.
00:05:30The sun's coming up.
00:05:32You must have operated all night.
00:05:34You're a machine.
00:05:36Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
00:05:38Alright.
00:05:40It's time for some much-needed Shaddai.
00:05:49Hey, you.
00:06:01Hey, yourself.
00:06:04I've been operating all night.
00:06:06I see every single patient in that pileup.
00:06:09All you did was extraordinary.
00:06:11How do you always know exactly what I needed?
00:06:15Cause I know you.
00:06:18Better than anyone.
00:06:24Goldberry.
00:06:26Your favorite.
00:06:28You remembered.
00:06:30Where's your dad?
00:06:31You know, I've been thinking lately.
00:06:33About us.
00:06:36I know it's only been a month, but...
00:06:40It just feels different.
00:06:46It's the third time this week.
00:06:49Hospital food's better when it's someone else's.
00:06:52Hmm.
00:06:54So who's the smart skin guy?
00:06:56His surgical skills are unreal.
00:06:58Sure, I thought he was just another new hire.
00:07:01I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:07:04With talent like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department right now.
00:07:06What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?
00:07:17Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.
00:07:23Who is this guy?
00:07:24Preston Vale, Preston Vale's son, Harvard MBA.
00:07:29He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife,
00:07:33who just recovered from an experimental pancreatico duodenectomy.
00:07:37I'm sorry, am I looking at two board-certified surgeons?
00:07:41Or med school dropouts?
00:07:43Hard to tell based on your behavior.
00:07:45Sir, about last-
00:07:46Save it.
00:07:48Parker.
00:07:50You couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:07:53You're fired.
00:07:55Clear out your office.
00:07:57New management means new standards.
00:08:00It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.
00:08:04Attention, everybody's attention now.
00:08:07If you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs, every surgery must be perfect.
00:08:14No complications, no deaths.
00:08:17This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:08:22Who's he thinking is, Dr. House?
00:08:25What is this?
00:08:27Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:08:30Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:08:34This is a hospital.
00:08:35We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
00:08:40That was from my residency direction.
00:08:42Oh, cry me a river!
00:08:44Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients,
00:08:47and a little less time collecting gold stars, you'd be a real doctor.
00:08:51You're fired.
00:08:52Excuse me?
00:08:53Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop,
00:08:56just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.
00:08:58Yes, sir.
00:09:00Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?
00:09:03That was good.
00:09:05Let's go.
00:09:10Well, well, well.
00:09:12What do we have here?
00:09:14Sleeping after a shift?
00:09:16Rise and shine, superstar.
00:09:19Did I order a wake-up call?
00:09:24No, you didn't.
00:09:26But here's one anyway.
00:09:28You are fired!
00:09:32Are you serious?
00:09:34You're firing me?
00:09:36Do you need me to draw you a diagram, doctor?
00:09:38Well, no, but there must be some sort of mistake.
00:09:42Fiona, what's his position here?
00:09:44He's...
00:09:46a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.
00:09:49What's he make?
00:09:51700,000.
00:09:53That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
00:09:55700?
00:09:56Are you insane?
00:09:57Are you giving resident money to a first-year who sleeps on the job?
00:10:01This hospital is being scammed!
00:10:03I just worked all night.
00:10:05Okay, I'm just taking a nap.
00:10:06Oh, so now you're expecting overtime pay?
00:10:09I've seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.
00:10:13What were you thinking, hiring this fraud?
00:10:16Either you're as dumb as these hack surgeons, or this is some sort of insurance scam?
00:10:21Adrian and I might be sleeping together, but I can't let him drag me down.
00:10:26My career comes first.
00:10:28Boy, bye.
00:10:30There must be some clerical error.
00:10:32His credentials...
00:10:34Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:10:37Fiona?
00:10:39Dr. Marksman.
00:10:42You are F-I-R-E-D-
00:10:45Fired.
00:10:47Clear out your office.
00:10:48Clear out your locker.
00:10:50You'll get the hell out of my hospital.
00:10:53This is a mistake, okay?
00:10:54You need to check the surgical lock.
00:10:55Oh, you don't get to wear that.
00:11:04I see.
00:11:07Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:11:09You don't understand.
00:11:10He's the one who...
00:11:11Didn't I fire you two already?
00:11:13Beat it!
00:11:14Vail is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:11:16Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:11:18I understand.
00:11:19Hospital politics.
00:11:20I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.
00:11:21Meet me in the lobby after your shift.
00:11:22I'll be waiting.
00:11:23I'll be waiting.
00:11:24I'll be waiting.
00:11:25I'll be waiting.
00:11:26I'll be waiting.
00:11:27I'll be waiting.
00:11:28I'll be waiting.
00:11:29You care to explain that little exchange?
00:11:30I'll be waiting.
00:11:31I'll be waiting.
00:11:32I'll be waiting.
00:11:33I'll be waiting.
00:11:34I'll be waiting.
00:11:35I'll be waiting.
00:11:36You care to explain that little exchange?
00:11:40The board won't like this.
00:11:41Four attendings dismissed in one day.
00:11:42Patient care will suffer.
00:11:43I'll be waiting.
00:11:44I'll be waiting.
00:11:45I'll be waiting.
00:11:46I'll be waiting.
00:11:47I'll be waiting.
00:11:48I'll be waiting.
00:11:49I'll be waiting.
00:11:53I'll be waiting.
00:11:55I'll be waiting.
00:11:56I'll be waiting.
00:11:57You care to explain that little exchange?
00:11:59The board won't like this.
00:12:06Four attendings dismissed in one day.
00:12:08Patient care will suffer.
00:12:10Fear is a weapon, Fiona.
00:12:12I intend to wield it.
00:12:14Or perhaps you're more concerned with one surgeon in particular?
00:12:18Your little scam artist situationship?
00:12:21No, Preston.
00:12:22He means nothing to me.
00:12:23Really.
00:12:24I have no personal stake in your staffing decision.
00:12:26Let's be clear about your future here.
00:12:28Do you want to be with the nobody collecting unemployment checks?
00:12:34Or the man who signs everyone's paychecks, including yours?
00:12:39The man who signs everyone's paychecks.
00:12:43Even the most attractive administrators need to be reminded who's in charge around here.
00:12:49Hey, Dad.
00:12:50What's wrong?
00:12:51Your mother's having a rough week of recovery.
00:12:52She'll be okay, but I need you to take full control of the hospital.
00:13:05And Preston, there's something critical you need to know.
00:13:08Of course.
00:13:09What is it?
00:13:10That new surgeon?
00:13:11Dr. Marksman?
00:13:12Whatever happens, make sure you take care of him.
00:13:16Dr. Marksman?
00:13:17Dr. Marksman, you're fucking fired.
00:13:20Get out of my hospital.
00:13:21Christ.
00:13:22The resident I just fired?
00:13:25Preston?
00:13:26Are you there?
00:13:27Check the staff roster.
00:13:30See if we have another marksman working for us here.
00:13:34I had to back up the brakes truck to get him here.
00:13:38He's a surgeon who saved your mother's life.
00:13:40And he's pioneering our experimental surgery program.
00:13:44The hospital's reputation rests on his work.
00:13:54Ah, yes.
00:13:55I see now.
00:13:56There's another surgeon attending with that name.
00:13:58Dr. Marksman, pioneer in experimental trauma surgery.
00:14:02Two-time Florence Nightingale, medal recipient for medical excellence.
00:14:06Three times Apex award winner for clinical research.
00:14:09Is this who you mean, Dad?
00:14:10That's our man.
00:14:11There's another surgeon with the same last name who's been a disaster for us.
00:14:15Negligent, lazy, you name it.
00:14:17Do me a favor, fire him.
00:14:20Already done, Dad.
00:14:22I fired his slacker ass this morning.
00:14:24Thank God.
00:14:25Almost thought I fired our star surgeon.
00:14:28Good work, son.
00:14:30I'll visit when your mother's stronger.
00:14:33Just, uh, just take care of Mom, alright?
00:14:36I got everything else under control.
00:14:41See?
00:14:45Told you that slacker resident I fired was worthless.
00:14:48Now, about your career trajectory.
00:14:52Mr. Vale, sir.
00:14:54Can't you see I'm busy?
00:14:56Multiple traumas incoming.
00:14:57The six-car pileup.
00:14:58You fired half our surgery team.
00:15:00What's your point?
00:15:01ER is crashing.
00:15:02We've no one left who can handle it.
00:15:10Give me the situation.
00:15:11Now.
00:15:12Six critical traumas, three more incoming.
00:15:15Multiple crush injuries, arterial bleed, sir.
00:15:18We're losing patients.
00:15:20What are our options?
00:15:21There might be one solution.
00:15:23Well, spit it out.
00:15:25Dr. Marksman.
00:15:26He had four critical traumas alone last night.
00:15:29If we can get him back here.
00:15:30Marksman.
00:15:31Right.
00:15:32That's the men we need.
00:15:33Fiona, call him.
00:15:34Which Dr. Marksman should I?
00:15:36The genius surgeon.
00:15:37The one I didn't fire.
00:15:39Keep up.
00:15:44What the hell?
00:15:45Where'd all this stuff go?
00:15:56The idiot left us research notes.
00:16:05Mmm.
00:16:06Modified trauma protocol.
00:16:09Wait.
00:16:11These are his revolutionary procedures.
00:16:15Oh, this is brilliant work.
00:16:21Hello?
00:16:22Dr. Marksman.
00:16:23Multiple critical traumas in the ER.
00:16:25Preston Vale says if you can handle this crisis,
00:16:27there's a monster promotion waiting.
00:16:30I'm on my way.
00:16:35With Adrian's techniques,
00:16:36I'll look like a genius.
00:16:38They'll make me department head.
00:16:40And I can finally make seven figures.
00:16:49Well?
00:16:50Dr. Marksman's on his way.
00:16:52Thank God.
00:16:55Dr. Marksman.
00:16:56Dr. Marksman.
00:16:57Dr. Marksman.
00:16:58Dr. Marksman.
00:16:59Dr. Marksman.
00:17:00Dr. Marksman.
00:17:01Dr. Marksman.
00:17:02Now,
00:17:03about your loyalty.
00:17:04Dr. Marksman.
00:17:05Adrian meant nothing.
00:17:06I was using him to advance my career.
00:17:10You're my future.
00:17:11That's my girl.
00:17:12Dr. Marksman.
00:17:13Dr. Marksman.
00:17:14Dr. Marksman.
00:17:19Dr. Marksman.
00:17:20Dr. Marksman.
00:17:21Beyond a shift into an hour ago.
00:17:23The boss's sun is up to something.
00:17:25To hell with this.
00:17:27I'm going up.
00:17:28I'm going out.
00:17:44Piece of shit!
00:17:48Get your hand off my girl!
00:17:52Oh, just knock it off, Adrian!
00:17:54You mean to tell me that the brilliant surgeon
00:17:56can't see what's been happening under his own nose?
00:17:59You mean to tell me that you've been messing around
00:18:01with this incompetent nepo baby?
00:18:03I can choose who I want,
00:18:05and I don't want to disgrace surgeon with no future.
00:18:07You pathetic loser.
00:18:09We're done, Adrian.
00:18:26Ancient history.
00:18:28Are you serious?
00:18:29Just like that.
00:18:32Sorry that this bum wrinkled your jacket, sir.
00:18:38Why are you doing this, Fiona?
00:18:40Am I just a stepping stone to you?
00:18:41I need someone with a future,
00:18:43not someone who sleeps while patients are dying.
00:18:50Keep it for when you get lonely and horny.
00:18:53It's the closest you'll ever come to the real thing again.
00:18:55Look at us, Adrian.
00:19:02I'm the future of Vail Hospital, and you?
00:19:08Just a slacker and scrubs.
00:19:11You're washed up, Marksman.
00:19:12Perhaps try nursing?
00:19:14I hear they're always hiring.
00:19:17Fiona, I met you here, and it made me want to stay.
00:19:19I thought we could build a family together.
00:19:24Get over yourself.
00:19:25You think I'm going to stay with someone
00:19:27who lied about their credentials?
00:19:29President Vail would never have hired someone
00:19:32who sleeps during shifts.
00:19:36We're done.
00:19:38I'm not done.
00:19:39But when I am, there won't be a Vail Hospital left standing.
00:19:45You can count on that.
00:19:49No, no, no, don't you move an inch right there, Adrian.
00:19:52Your troubles are just getting started.
00:19:58He'll authorize you to be here.
00:20:00Mr. Vail, I'm pleased to announce that under my supervision,
00:20:03we've stabilized all the patients from the multi-car accident,
00:20:06and the situation is completely under control.
00:20:09You're Dr. Marksman.
00:20:11Ah, yes, the very same.
00:20:13My father mentioned your exceptional credentials.
00:20:17Harvard Medical, was it?
00:20:19These morons have no idea I'm taking credit
00:20:22for Adrian's revolutionary techniques.
00:20:25As long as the boss's son is impressed,
00:20:27I'll be chief of surgery by next month.
00:20:29Mr. Vail, I've identified who's responsible
00:20:31for all the issues in OR3 today.
00:20:35He was sleeping while a patient almost died on the table.
00:20:39Clear-cut medical malfeasance.
00:20:40Dr. Hart, incredible news.
00:20:53Dr. Adrian Marksman, that surgical pioneer that you've been tracking,
00:20:56he's just been terminated from Vail Hospital.
00:21:00When?
00:21:01Less than an hour ago, dismissed by President Vail's son.
00:21:06Oh, amazing.
00:21:09I'd pay to see Nelson Vail's face when he discovers that his price surgeon
00:21:14was fired by his submental son.
00:21:16With, uh, respect, we're still establishing our reputation.
00:21:21Would someone of Marksman's caliber even consider joining us?
00:21:25I'll offer him whatever it takes.
00:21:28Full department autonomy, research funding, state-of-the-art facilities,
00:21:35and if necessary, my personal involvement.
00:21:40His techniques could revolutionize surgical care.
00:21:43Have my car brought round.
00:21:45I'm going to Vail Hospital personally.
00:21:48And Adrian Marksman, he's leaving with me.
00:21:51I'll feasance.
00:21:58What kind of delusional accusation is that?
00:22:01Oh, don't insult our intelligence.
00:22:03A patient coded while you were off taking a nap.
00:22:05The timing couldn't possibly be coincidental.
00:22:07Yet you stand there denying it.
00:22:09This is crazy.
00:22:11You've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon.
00:22:13And when a complication occurs, which happened in this hospital
00:22:17under your incompetent leadership,
00:22:18you blame me?
00:22:23The collective medical knowledge in this room isn't enough to fill a prescription pad.
00:22:28If you were even half the surgeon that you claim to be, you would still have a job.
00:22:34I'm not going to stand here and debate medicine with you in front of Mr. Vail.
00:22:37Security, please detain him.
00:22:38What exactly are you accusing me of?
00:22:47Either confess to medical malfeasance, or they'll escort you to the police for criminal negligence.
00:22:54Adrian, I never realized you were capable of endangering patients.
00:22:58What other medical atrocities have you committed?
00:23:01You better confess now, or we'll do everything in your power to make sure you lose your medical license.
00:23:05Fine. Go ahead. Do your worst.
00:23:11Let's see if a single piece of evidence holds up in front of the medical board.
00:23:16You really underestimate my family's influence, don't you?
00:23:21Don't you realize that Mr. Vail here can end your entire career with one phone call?
00:23:26Sir, I strongly recommend that we make an example out of him.
00:23:29After all, he'll be a danger to his patients wherever he goes.
00:23:32Preston, you can't let him walk away after this. Not after what he did to our patients.
00:23:39I'm contacting the medical board right now.
00:23:42As of this moment, Dr. Adrian Marksman is blacklisted from Vail Hospital and every medical institute in the country.
00:23:49Plans in motion, Adrian. Do you know what that means?
00:23:52It means that you will never practice medicine in this country again.
00:23:56I have one question before I go. Does your father know you fired me?
00:24:04My father's the one who asked me to fire you, you dipshit.
00:24:09You thought you were some brilliant surgical god, didn't you?
00:24:14Security, remove this criminal from hospital property immediately.
00:24:17Immediately. Immediately.
00:24:18Yes, doctor.
00:24:19Right away, sir.
00:24:23That's quite enough.
00:24:36Let him go.
00:24:37Dr. Marksman is about to accept the position as Chief of Surgical Innovation at Heart Medical Center.
00:24:47I know you. You're Vivian Heart, the surgical upstar from that medical clinic across town.
00:24:53That's Dr. Vivian Heart to you, Mr. Vail.
00:24:58Vivian, I haven't seen you since the John Hopkins Symposium, like four or five years ago.
00:25:03What are you doing here?
00:25:05Well, I'm here for the most innovative surgeon in the country, of course.
00:25:10Wait, are you seriously suggesting this negligent doctor has value?
00:25:15He was sleeping during rounds.
00:25:17Is this how Vail Hospital discards its exceptional talent?
00:25:21Your father built this institution's reputation of medical excellence, not petty politics.
00:25:28Dr. Heart, with all due respect...
00:25:31This is a conversation between medical directors.
00:25:34Someone in your position should recognize when to maintain silence.
00:25:37Dr. Heart, I must inform you that Dr. Marksman represents a serious liability.
00:25:42He compromised patient safety and...
00:25:45I don't believe I requested your medical opinion, Dr.
00:25:48Marksman. David Marksman.
00:25:50I have neither time nor interest in your assessment.
00:25:53After he decided to go to sleep, we had a critical surgical complication.
00:26:01His negligence led to the problem.
00:26:03His actions not only endangered patients, it compromised my hospital's reputation.
00:26:09Are you really willing to defend someone who violates the Hippocratic Oath?
00:26:13Did you actually consult with your father before dismissing Dr. Marksman?
00:26:17Of course I consulted my father.
00:26:22He's the one who specifically mentioned his dangerous surgical shortcuts and inflated reputation.
00:26:28Dangerous shortcuts?
00:26:29Is that what President Vail really said?
00:26:32His exact words were, remove him at first opportunity.
00:26:35President Vail was the one that recruited me. This makes absolutely no sense.
00:26:39Please, Adrian. The President wouldn't personally recruit a mid-level surgeon like you.
00:26:45Those gala invitations were professional courtesy, not genuine respect.
00:26:50Well, if that's the way things work at Vail, I have nothing more to contribute.
00:26:54To any of you.
00:26:55Dr. Marksman, would you consider joining Heart Medical Center as our Chief of Surgery?
00:27:02Well, I've...
00:27:03Full department autonomy, protected research time,
00:27:07a surgical fellowship in your name, and a seven-figure salary package.
00:27:20And cash. Dr. Marksman, I want you to revolutionize our surgery program.
00:27:48Yeah. Hopefully this shows you. I mean what I say.
00:27:59Chief of Surgery?
00:28:03You're offering all this to a surgeon who can't even keep his eyes open on the job?
00:28:08Dr. Heart, have you completely lost your medical judgment or are you on drugs?
00:28:13This is absurd. He was a mediocre surgeon here at Vail.
00:28:17And now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department?
00:28:23The medical board should review your hiring practices.
00:28:27Vivian, I appreciate your confidence.
00:28:32This isn't about money.
00:28:34Maybe there's something beyond professional opportunity that might interest you.
00:28:38She's offering herself up to him. She can't do that. Are you a doctor or a call girl?
00:28:45At Heart Medical Center, you will be given everything a surgeon of your caliber deserves,
00:28:50including a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value.
00:28:56And I do mean anything, Dr. Marksman.
00:28:58Dr. Heart, for the sake of your own reputation, you need to know that this hack you're so eagerly pursuing
00:29:07has a documented history of negligence. My father confirmed it himself.
00:29:12Is that precisely what Nelson Bale told you?
00:29:15His exact words.
00:29:18Negligence, Surgeon? What are those?
00:29:21Personal gifts from your father?
00:29:28My fellowship offer?
00:29:31My personal research lab?
00:29:32My surgical team?
00:29:34I'm leaving it all behind.
00:29:37You can tell President Vail that as of this moment, Dr. Marksman has permanently withdrawn
00:29:43from Vail Hospital and all of its affiliated institutions.
00:29:46You know what? Spare us the theatrics, Adrian. You never deserve those privileges in the first place.
00:29:53The medical board is going to see that justice is done.
00:29:55Oh, your stupidity. It's just astonishing.
00:30:01You treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels. This man is a life-saving artist.
00:30:08Dr. Heart, I understand there's some competition between your center and Vail Hospital.
00:30:17Yeah. Look, I'll be real. We're struggling to get out from under their shadow.
00:30:22Look, I'd be happy to help you out with that. Take me on, and I'll transform Heart into the number
00:30:27one surgical institution in the country.
00:30:31Look at yourself, Adrian. Offering your skills to a struggling clinic. How pathetically desperate.
00:30:37Oh. A backstabbing bottom feeder like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his caliber.
00:30:44How dare you talk to me like that!
00:30:46Your malpractice has caused catastrophic damage to my hospital's reputation. As the responsible party,
00:30:55I demand that you issue a formal apology to one of the major medical journals,
00:30:59and with an explanation to every affected Vail Hospital patient. Refuse me, and I will ensure that
00:31:07the medical board revokes your license permanently. That accusation isn't just baseness. It's absurd.
00:31:14What exactly do you think you're going to do about it? You've got no choice but to sign this confession.
00:31:19Oh, stop threatening my chief surgeon. If you insist on pursuing this vendetta,
00:31:24have your attorney send a formal complaint to Heart Medical Center. We'll consider it nothing less
00:31:29than a declaration of total war. If it's war you want, I will obliterate your dime store clinic with
00:31:38everything that I've got. Let's go. One more second and this cesspool is going to make me physically ill.
00:31:44Mr. Vail, don't you waste another precious moment on those second-rate practitioners.
00:32:00David, you've proven your loyalty. The chief of surgery position is yours effective immediately.
00:32:06This is extraordinary. Thank you. I am honored beyond words. Don't forget about me, Preston.
00:32:18Don't worry, babe. You will be thoroughly compensated for your loyalty. How exciting.
00:32:26Mr. Vail, I swear on my medical oath that I will not disappoint you.
00:32:31Mr. Vail, a commuter train derailed. Six critical patients incoming. Dr. Marksman, OR1 now.
00:32:38Now's your time to shine, Dr. Marksman.
00:32:41Shit. I'm screwed. Adrian's surgical journal with all his proprietary techniques is still in my office.
00:32:46If Preston finds out, I stole it and then couldn't even use it properly.
00:32:51I implemented a groundbreaking surgical protocol that I invented myself. These techniques are
00:32:58revolutionary. I'll walk you through it in detail after the emergency.
00:33:02It's impressive, Dr. Marksman. You've obviously got your own methodology.
00:33:07No need to bore me with the specifics. I trust your brilliance. Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:33:11With you leading my surgical team, I can focus on what really matters. Hospital expansion.
00:33:19Again, sir, I'm deeply honored.
00:33:21Behold, Vail Hospital's new chief of surgery. Let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now.
00:33:38Glad you're feeling better, honey. Thank you.
00:33:40Yeah. Oh, sorry. Who's this?
00:33:43Nelson Vail speaking. President Vail, Dr. Vivian Hart here. I'm calling to let you know that as of this
00:33:54morning, Hart Medical Center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena.
00:33:58Revolutionary surgical procedures are Vail Hospital's domain. Are you absolutely certain you want to pick
00:34:05this fight? This is merely a professional courtesy call, not an invitation for debate. Now, just
00:34:13that conniving bitch plotting. She knows Adrienne is our surgical secret weapon. Why would she
00:34:25deliberately provoke a medical war she has absolutely no chance of winning? Unless...
00:34:39Dad, we've got multiple traumas coming in. Just tell me you didn't fire Dr. Marksman.
00:34:44Dad, relax. I fired the other one, that incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned.
00:34:49Then explain to me why Hart Medical Center believes they can suddenly challenge our
00:34:55surgical supremacy. Because I masterfully led Vivian Hart into a false sense of reality.
00:35:02There's no way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures. I convinced Vivi that she's
00:35:08acquired surgical brilliance. But in reality, she's hired our disgraced, discarded loser.
00:35:14So you deliberately manipulated Vivian? She thinks she's hired genius behind Vail Hospital's
00:35:21groundbreaking procedures. That's why she had the audacity to declare war on you. Impressive, son.
00:35:26You're finally showing some of the leadership qualities. I've been waiting to see out of you.
00:35:31I think you're ready to take complete control of our experimental surgical division.
00:35:38Dad, this is everything I've worked for. Thank you.
00:35:41We'll get to work immediately. We're going to expose Hart Medical Center for the low-grade institution it truly is.
00:35:50Their humiliation will be quick and absolute. I won't let you down.
00:35:57Darling, surgical innovation is the future of Vail. Preston only got his MBA last year.
00:36:04Do you really think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program?
00:36:08I would never take a risk like this if Preston was our only asset. Remember, we have the ultimate
00:36:16surgical secret weapon. You mean the surgeon that saved my life? Dr. Adrian Marksman.
00:36:23Exactly. And all I need to do is stay hands off and let him exercise his extraordinary talents.
00:36:33As long as Adrian is with Vail Hospital, Hart Medical Center has no chance of competing.
00:36:40Not only that, Vivian fell for Preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster, Dr. David Marksman.
00:36:50All we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble.
00:37:03So now that you've seen the surgical department,
00:37:08what do you think? It's not bad.
00:37:10It's a small team, but they're talented. What you've built here, it's impressive, Viv.
00:37:18It's good to see you again after all these years, Adrian.
00:37:22You too.
00:37:23We need to expand. It's too small for what I'm planning.
00:37:28Also, I heard you weren't the only surgeon Preston Vail fired.
00:37:33We have all the angles figured out, don't you? And I always find the best one.
00:37:42I'm going to start recruiting.
00:37:54Good.
00:37:54The faster we rise, the more rewarding this partnership becomes.
00:38:13This better be good.
00:38:14Mr. Vail, you wanted to see me?
00:38:22My father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department.
00:38:28Given your new position as chief of surgery, I'm appointing you head of innovation.
00:38:33Mr. Vail, I, uh...
00:38:35Is there an issue with that?
00:38:37No, absolutely not.
00:38:39The budget for innovation is astronomical.
00:38:41And President Vail has already handed control to his son?
00:38:45If I oversee these procedures, I could divert significant resources to my personal research.
00:38:51Mr. Vail, you can trust me completely.
00:38:54I am precisely the right man for the job.
00:38:59Preston, we have a catastrophe on our hands.
00:39:01Two attending surgeons just submitted their resignation simultaneously.
00:39:04The department can't possibly maintain its caseload.
00:39:06What? They both resigned at once? What was their explanation?
00:39:10They refused to disclose their reasons.
00:39:11But there's talk they were recruited by a former Vail physician,
00:39:14along with the three other surgeons you fired before.
00:39:17Former physician Adrian Marksman, this has his saboteur signature all over it.
00:39:21Mr. Vail, what's our contingency plan? The surgical department is severely understaffed.
00:39:26If any more surgeons leave, patients will suffer.
00:39:29Okay, everybody needs to remain calm.
00:39:33You still have me. I can rebuild this department.
00:39:37Ah, yes. With your stellar reputation, we should be able to get the best of the best.
00:39:41Exactly. So we lost some second-rate talent. Let him go.
00:39:46I'll make some calls to Cedars-Sinai and UCLA.
00:39:53Good work, Marksman.
00:39:58This is working out perfectly. Now I can install my own allies in key positions.
00:40:03Soon, I'll control the entire hospital's medical direction.
00:40:14It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Hart.
00:40:35This is Dr. Parker here. He's a triple board certified surgeon.
00:40:39And soon he'll be the head of trauma surgery. This is Dr. Rose, Chen, Rose, and Thomas.
00:40:46All consummate professionals. My most trusted colleagues back at Vail.
00:40:53With this surgical team, Hart Medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country.
00:40:59Actually, the whole world. We're eager to begin, Dr. Hart.
00:41:04Well, welcome to Hart Medical Center. I am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us, but I do need to be transparent.
00:41:15We have got considerable ground to cover before we can truly challenge Vail Hospital's dominance.
00:41:20Have no fear, Dr. Hart. With Adrian leading our team, we'll be three steps ahead of anything Vail attempts.
00:41:27Yes, but Vail has already implemented Adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols.
00:41:32Yeah, about that. It's a preliminary version. If they continue to develop this approach without modification...
00:41:39Then what?
00:41:39A lot of deaths. A lot of lawsuits. A lot of patients could be harmed. Or worse.
00:41:46These procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement.
00:41:51Those techniques require precise calibration and specialized training. Without that foundation...
00:41:56We're talking about serious complications. Preventable harm.
00:42:00Our first priority has to be patient safety. We need to perfect these procedures. And then we can
00:42:06find a way to prevent Vail from continuing with the flawed protocols.
00:42:11Exactly. It's not about competition or pride. It's about saving lives.
00:42:17We're using our experience with the trial procedures I did at Vail to develop next-generation
00:42:23surgical techniques, eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies.
00:42:29Even if Vail Hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new,
00:42:34we'll maintain our significant advantage. And if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols,
00:42:41rest assured, their outcomes will deteriorate. I don't wish it upon their patients, that's for sure.
00:42:47Remember this moment. In this battle for medical supremacy,
00:42:51Heart Medical Center will emerge victorious.
00:43:01It's 3am. Lost track of time again.
00:43:10Viv, you surprised me.
00:43:14Looks like you could use a nice rub. Do you mind?
00:43:17No. I mean, yeah. What do you give all your surgeons massages?
00:43:25Only the ones I really, really like.
00:43:34You really, really like me? Adrienne, I've really, really liked you since residency.
00:43:39Nothing's changed. You were our most brilliant resident in the program. I never imagined someone
00:43:47like you would like me. There was never anyone else that got my attention.
00:43:51Only you. But you were completely oblivious. And then you just vanished from the program.
00:43:59Well, I left to join the experimental surgical fellowship in Switzerland.
00:44:05I know. Your talent was extraordinary even then. Back then, I made a promise to myself that we would
00:44:14work together again someday. You know, when I established Heart Medical Center, my first priority
00:44:20was recruiting you. But that manipulative tyrant, Nelson Vale, had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives.
00:44:31I understand now.
00:44:40So, should we pick up where we left off in residency?
00:44:45I hear the boss. That's right. And as your boss, I say, come home with me.
00:44:53Tonight? You lost everything when Preston fired you. Hospital privileges, research funding,
00:45:01even your hospital-subsidized apartment. You have literally nowhere else to go tonight. Come with me.
00:45:11Where? My place.
00:45:24All right. I'll admit it. That was the best meal I've had in months.
00:45:28Hmm. Careful, Dr. Marksman. I might start thinking you're easy to please.
00:45:33That just depends on the company.
00:45:36Well, starting tonight, this is your new home. Until the program's fully established, it just
00:45:43makes sense. Are you sure about that? We already work late hours.
00:45:49Living together could get complicated. Well, I like complicated. Keeps things interesting.
00:45:57And where exactly will I be sleeping? Well, my master suite has a California king.
00:46:12Plenty of room. If things ever need to get more collaborative.
00:46:18I'll be sleeping. Really? Relax. I'm only teasing. Tonight, at least. Come on.
00:46:31I'll show you your room. Unless you'd rather have a nightcap. And mine.
00:46:38Things could get dangerous.
00:46:51Is this pathetic attempt really the best that you can do?
00:46:53You are completely worthless as surgeons. Dr. Marksman, the experimental procedures we're
00:47:03trying to replicate here are extraordinarily intricate. We need at least six months to properly
00:47:08master... Six months? You have 72 hours. And I expect hourly updates on my desk.
00:47:15Sir, rushing these delicate procedures dramatically increases the possibility of potentially fatal
00:47:21complications. Three days. Then you don't get one hour more. Go. Go.
00:47:31Report, Dr. Marksman. What's our status? Excellent progress, Mr. Vale. We will be advancing to phase
00:47:37two implementation within three days. That's exactly what I wanted to hear. I knew my judgment
00:47:43appointing you as flawless. Preston, I need an update on the experimental surgery program.
00:47:54Everything's proceeding perfectly, Father. Outstanding. When this is done, I'll throw you a huge
00:47:59party to celebrate the launch. Your father must be so proud of you. Keep up the good work, Dr. Marksman.
00:48:06I'll make sure my father understands your invaluable contribution.
00:48:09This is my shot. Why settle for chief of surgery? With the right maneuvering, I could become the next
00:48:15chief medical officer of Vale Hospital. Mr. Vale, my purpose is to execute the visionary medical
00:48:22strategies of brilliant administrators such as yourself. I believe that in the position of chief
00:48:29medical officer, I could implement your ideas more effectively throughout the entire hospital.
00:48:34If these procedures prove successful, I will personally discuss your advancement with the board.
00:48:39Truly, that's... I am profoundly grateful, sir. Thank you.
00:48:57You're finally awake.
00:49:09You can keep appreciating the view while you eat.
00:49:11All right. Ooh, breakfast. Looks good. Thank you.
00:49:19When you're finished eating, we'll head directly to the surgical wing.
00:49:22Sound good? Yes. Absolutely.
00:49:26Good. Get it up and running, and there may be a special bonus waiting for you.
00:49:36Extra special.
00:49:37Okay, team. We're approaching a critical phase of our program development. We have groundbreaking
00:49:51procedures that we need to perfect in very little time, so let's get to it and start revolutionizing
00:49:57medicine. I have excellent news for all of you. I've just finalized arrangements with the board,
00:50:03and upon successful implementation of our surgical innovations,
00:50:07each of you will receive a fully funded medical mission trip anywhere in the world that you choose
00:50:12to share your expertise. And when the time comes that our procedures receive national certification,
00:50:19every surgeon on this team will be gifted a percentage of the royalties from any techniques we patent.
00:50:28At Heart Medical Center, our surgeons are the lifeblood of our institution, and you will be compensated accordingly.
00:50:36Dr. Heart, we are fully committed to making this surgical program a success.
00:50:43Absolutely. You'll be seeing progress ASAP.
00:50:47Vail Hospital won't know what hit him. With Adrian leading us, victory is guaranteed.
00:50:51Heart is best! Heart is best! Heart is best! Heart is best!
00:50:56Heart is best! Heart is best!
00:51:19Heart is best!
00:51:24You always this disciplined?
00:51:31Or are you just trying to impress me?
00:51:34If I was trying to impress you, you even know.
00:51:37Midnight meetings.
00:51:40Long hours.
00:51:42This work ethic of yours.
00:51:45It's a little dangerous.
00:51:49That's what Val used to say about me.
00:51:53Then they fired me.
00:51:54And they were fools.
00:52:00You've earned more than just respect here, Adrian.
00:52:04You know that, right?
00:52:10You trying to motivate me again?
00:52:12I don't try.
00:52:16I do.
00:52:20Well, don't work too late.
00:52:22You're no good to me, Burned Out.
00:52:35The incompetence is staggering.
00:52:39This is staggering.
00:52:41Yeah, you two are in way over your heads.
00:52:43Do you really think that this is acceptable?
00:52:48I give you one simple task, and you screw it up.
00:52:51How the hell did either of you even finish residency?
00:52:55Vail General Hospital is the gold standard,
00:52:59and you two are just standing around like clueless little interns.
00:53:01If these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow, you're both gone.
00:53:06Is that clear?
00:53:08Yes, sir.
00:53:09This is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team?
00:53:12Go.
00:53:14Go.
00:53:21Mr. Vail, what a surprise.
00:53:24Cut the bullshit, Marksman.
00:53:26Are we on schedule or not?
00:53:28Of course.
00:53:30We're just refining the final stages.
00:53:34Yeah, everything is under control.
00:53:36Good.
00:53:38But there's a problem.
00:53:38I expect to hear it from you.
00:53:39No cover-ups.
00:53:40Of course, sir.
00:53:44Mr. Vail.
00:53:45Not now.
00:53:46Go get me the latest performance reports.
00:53:48It, uh, looks like Preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here.
00:53:58Don't worry.
00:53:59When Preston makes me chief medical officer, I'm gonna need someone flexible in my corner.
00:54:06I was back at the winning team, Dr. Marksman.
00:54:15Today, Vail Hospital officially launched.
00:54:17It's highly anticipated next-generation surgical program.
00:54:21This cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry.
00:54:27Especially as Heart Medical's competing program was released on the same day.
00:54:32The question now is, who will define the future of surgery?
00:54:36Relax, Mr. Vail.
00:54:38Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance.
00:54:41I hope you're right.
00:54:43For your sake.
00:54:47Didn't you say that, uh, if the rollout went well, that you'd make me chief medical officer?
00:54:53It's not a success.
00:54:55Yet.
00:54:58Enjoy tonight's launch party.
00:55:00Because if our results don't outshine Heart Medical, it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long time.
00:55:05Dr. Heart, we, uh, have a problem.
00:55:21Vail Hospital's new surgical program launches today.
00:55:24That soon?
00:55:25They're hosting a big celebration party tonight.
00:55:28It's a good thing we're ahead of...
00:55:33You're saying we're ready?
00:55:36Why would I lie?
00:55:37We've been tracking Vail's every move.
00:55:40Let him celebrate.
00:55:41It's just gonna backfire.
00:55:43How exactly does that work in our favor?
00:55:46Viv, do you remember what I told you when you first brought me here?
00:55:49Preston Vail's rushing this.
00:55:53He's desperate to beat us to the market.
00:55:55And?
00:55:55Their model's flawed.
00:55:57If they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure and their approach,
00:56:02we won't have to lift a damn finger.
00:56:05And what about when it falls apart?
00:56:07Then Heart Medical takes over as the future of modern surgery.
00:56:09So you're saying that Vail Hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that
00:56:15you designed?
00:56:16It's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast.
00:56:19They're using an early draft full of mistakes that I won't make again.
00:56:24They don't even realize the cracks in their foundation.
00:56:27That actually makes perfect sense.
00:56:31Which means we've already won.
00:56:34Well, this is a big day for us.
00:56:36We should celebrate.
00:56:37What do you have in mind?
00:56:38Drinks?
00:56:39Not quite.
00:56:40You and I are crashing the Vail launch party tonight.
00:56:44What?
00:56:45Why?
00:56:46Let me worry about that.
00:56:48In the meantime, ensure a smooth rollout, finish whatever procedures you need to,
00:56:53and meet me in the lobby at 8 p.m. sharp.
00:57:09Preston, we've been through so much together.
00:57:12I know where I'm headed in life, and I know who I want by my side.
00:57:18Tonight, at this launch party, celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program,
00:57:24it's like the perfect moment to ask,
00:57:26will you marry me?
00:57:28Will you marry me?
00:57:31You should be fun.
00:57:37Absolutely.
00:57:39You really know how to take care of your staff, Mr. Vail?
00:57:42Stop it.
00:57:43Too bad you're taken.
00:57:44Yeah, yeah, what a shame.
00:57:46Where the fuck is Fiona?
00:57:48Told her meet me out here so we can go to this party together.
00:57:51Forget about her.
00:57:52She's just social climbing trash anyways.
00:57:54We'll show you a better time.
00:57:56Yeah.
00:57:57Now that's an offer I can't refuse.
00:58:01Let's go.
00:58:01Fiona who?
00:58:05Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:58:08I'm going to go.
00:58:08The number you have dialed is unavailable.
00:58:32Please try again later.
00:58:33It's 20 in one day.
00:59:00All clean, all stable.
00:59:02The experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.
00:59:05You did it.
00:59:07No, we didn't.
00:59:11Dr. Marksman, you have to get to Vail's launch party pronto.
00:59:15You're already late.
00:59:16I need a change there.
00:59:17You don't have time.
00:59:18Where's Vivian?
00:59:20Taking care of something.
00:59:22She said it's really important that you be there and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:59:26Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vail Hospital's revolutionary surgical program.
00:59:32What the fuck?
00:59:48You're my date and you're wasted.
00:59:51I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.
00:59:54Yeah.
00:59:54God knows why I chose you, but I did.
00:59:56So if you want to keep your job and your status sober up, for God's sakes.
01:00:00Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?
01:00:22It's giving orderly sheep.
01:00:27Maybe he's here to bust tables.
01:00:29What are you doing at our launch party?
01:00:32You weren't invited.
01:00:34You so sure about that?
01:00:35I mean, look at you.
01:00:36This is a black tie?
01:00:37I mean, not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is.
01:00:41Oh, look who crawled in from the gutter.
01:00:45The found surgeon.
01:00:47The fraud.
01:00:48The nobody.
01:00:50Show up to my party in dirty scrubs, Marksman?
01:00:53Thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the lowlives.
01:00:57Guess I need to fire them, too.
01:00:58Oh, pardon me.
01:00:59I just came straight from surgery.
01:01:01Because some of us here are real surgeons.
01:01:03What are you trying to say?
01:01:05I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody, isn't me.
01:01:11I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.
01:01:18Got some nerve talking to my man Marksman like that.
01:01:21A genius like him leading our surgical team?
01:01:24You won't be able to get anywhere near our next party.
01:01:27Yeah, because it'll happen in prison.
01:01:28When you're all arrested for medical malpractice, criminal negligence, and identity theft.
01:01:35What are you talking about?
01:01:38Identity theft.
01:01:40Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?
01:01:42Yours?
01:01:44Let me give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.
01:01:46If you don't got it, just act like you do.
01:01:50Speaking from experience.
01:01:51Look around you.
01:01:55This is the elite among the elite.
01:01:57The best of the best in the medical field.
01:02:00Just because you waltz in here and you're dirty, cheap scrubs, doesn't make you one of us.
01:02:04Good.
01:02:05I'm glad.
01:02:06Because you're all beneath me.
01:02:08Isn't that right, Dr. Marksman?
01:02:11That's enough.
01:02:12Guards!
01:02:13This former employee is threatening us.
01:02:16Kick him out.
01:02:17Touch me and you'll regret it.
01:02:21I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:02:25What are you dumbasses doing?
01:02:27Grab him!
01:02:42Christy!
01:02:43What the hell is this?
01:02:46Dad, relax.
01:02:47I, uh...
01:02:48Relax?
01:02:49This twat came in uninvited.
01:02:52I was just kicking him out.
01:02:53Guards!
01:02:53Remove him immediately.
01:02:55President Vale, it truly is an honor to finally meet you.
01:02:57You get out of my way!
01:03:00Dad, what are you doing?
01:03:00This is, this is, this is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...
01:03:05You are such a fool!
01:03:08Dad!
01:03:09What are you, what are you, what are you doing?
01:03:11Open your eyes, Preston.
01:03:13This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...
01:03:17Uh...
01:03:17You are a...
01:03:20Disgraced!
01:03:21Dad!
01:03:23My hospital meant something and you turned it into a...
01:03:27Into a...
01:03:28You...
01:03:29Dad!
01:03:31Dad!
01:03:31Ah!
01:03:35Dad!
01:03:36Oh!
01:03:38President Vale.
01:03:39Fuck away from my dad!
01:03:41Are you out of your mind?
01:03:42He is the best surgeon in this room.
01:03:44Oh yeah, like you give a shit about saving my dad.
01:03:46I'll die before I trust you two.
01:03:48Somebody get me a real doctor!
01:03:50David!
01:03:51David!
01:03:51David!
01:03:52Do so!
01:03:53It's cold!
01:03:53Can't think of what to do next?
01:04:00Blanking?
01:04:01Can't think of a diagnosis?
01:04:02Shut up!
01:04:03Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?
01:04:06This is ridiculous.
01:04:07I thought this David guy was a genius.
01:04:10Why are you just standing there?
01:04:11Do something!
01:04:12Uh...
01:04:13What's the matter, David?
01:04:15If you need help, just ask.
01:04:18All you have to do is admit what you did.
01:04:20Right here.
01:04:21Right now.
01:04:22I can't blow my cover, but...
01:04:25What if I kill him?
01:04:27I don't know anything about surgeries.
01:04:30I don't even know what's wrong with them.
01:04:32I did medical school on Zoom.
01:04:34David, this is a matter of life and death.
01:04:38Let it go.
01:04:41I...
01:04:42I...
01:04:43I can't.
01:04:46I can't do this.
01:04:48Okay, I can't.
01:04:50I can't do this.
01:04:51I can't do this without my notebook.
01:04:58That's my surgical notebook.
01:05:00He stole it from me.
01:05:01Okay, okay.
01:05:10I'm going to need a fork and a glass of water.
01:05:15Okay.
01:05:17Okay, I got it, I got it.
01:05:20Here, take it, take it.
01:05:21Okay.
01:05:22All right, hold his head.
01:05:24Good.
01:05:24Tilt it back and apply pressure here.
01:05:28Okay.
01:05:39Okay.
01:05:40Okay.
01:05:40Okay.
01:05:42Great.
01:05:43All right.
01:05:44All right.
01:05:50Oh, thank God.
01:05:50Hurry.
01:05:51Let up.
01:05:53All right.
01:05:57Oh, that's my guy.
01:05:59Surgical genius.
01:06:02That's how Val makes history.
01:06:04Somebody get this man a medal.
01:06:06Or at least a new department.
01:06:08If you still want that chief medical officer position, say the word.
01:06:12Now, do I have to have somebody escort you out?
01:06:16That maneuver.
01:06:18That notebook.
01:06:19It's mine.
01:06:20Then tell them.
01:06:25Where is he going?
01:06:27Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program at another fake hospital.
01:06:31Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?
01:06:34Say, hey, why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life?
01:06:41That procedure David used, I invented it.
01:06:45What kind of crack are you smoking?
01:06:47He's delusional.
01:06:49Somebody seriously check this guy's medical license.
01:06:52The notebook he used to save your father.
01:06:55That's mine.
01:06:57My handwriting.
01:06:58My theories.
01:07:00You're just pissed because he did what you couldn't.
01:07:04I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories as innovation.
01:07:08And when it fails,
01:07:09then it will.
01:07:13You're not the ones that'll pay for it.
01:07:15The patients will.
01:07:16You can't prove that.
01:07:18Not yet.
01:07:18But you can't fake medicine.
01:07:21Medicine and science always tell the truth.
01:07:29Our three's vitals has just dropped.
01:07:30We've got uncontrolled bleeding.
01:07:32Second patient today.
01:07:33Same issue.
01:07:34Vessel ligation failed mid-operation.
01:07:37These techniques aren't viable.
01:07:38The veil method doesn't hold under stress.
01:07:42I mean, come on.
01:07:43Tonight proves it.
01:07:44We're ahead of every surgical institute in the country.
01:07:46I'll be right back.
01:07:56Just coordinating with the team.
01:07:57Talk to me.
01:08:02The vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again.
01:08:04This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.
01:08:09Use the compression step.
01:08:10That only works in controlled scenarios.
01:08:13We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.
01:08:17Look, just follow the notes.
01:08:22I designed those techniques for 101 guidance.
01:08:25Not mass implementation.
01:08:27Without calibration.
01:08:29It's unstable.
01:08:31It's dangerous.
01:08:32They tried to commercialize your success without you.
01:08:35Now people are paying for it.
01:08:38All good?
01:08:39Of course.
01:08:41Just routine coordination.
01:08:43Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.
01:08:46Your surgical program is failing.
01:08:48And patients are suffering.
01:08:50You've been out of the field for months.
01:08:52You wouldn't know.
01:08:53Yeah, I would know.
01:08:54Because the procedures that you're butchering, I invented.
01:08:58And I'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing.
01:09:02Oh, shit.
01:09:03Oh, yes.
01:09:09This is Dr. Marksman.
01:09:11Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:09:14Okay, listen very carefully.
01:09:18Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.
01:09:26No, you need to perform a marksman-modified Pringle maneuver with selective hepatic arterial ligation, followed by a rapid sequence vascular anatomosis using interrupted 6-0 proline sutures.
01:09:39Yes.
01:09:40Yes.
01:09:43Yes.
01:09:45How do we even know he made a phone call?
01:09:49His whole thing is performance, a charade.
01:09:51You stole his methods.
01:09:53This entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork.
01:09:58Uh, that's a lie.
01:10:00Then prove me wrong.
01:10:01Show them all a technique that I didn't create.
01:10:06Why would we believe anything he says?
01:10:09He was fired.
01:10:10Humiliated.
01:10:11You're right, I was fired.
01:10:13And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary.
01:10:18You know what?
01:10:19This is pathetic.
01:10:20He's just jealous.
01:10:22He missed his shot.
01:10:23Is that what you told yourself?
01:10:25When you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal?
01:10:29Even if that were true, this isn't the time or the place.
01:10:33I think it's exactly the time and place.
01:10:46I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator.
01:10:50And thanks to Adrian's guidance, our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients.
01:10:57Adrian just cleaned up your mess.
01:10:59You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready, and you fired him.
01:11:05The one person who could make them safe.
01:11:08Dad, you don't see the full picture here.
01:11:12Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.
01:11:15This hospital was built on trust and integrity, and you've disgraced them both.
01:11:20Your father nearly died because of your ego, because of his lies.
01:11:26You saved me.
01:11:27You saved me.
01:11:29You saved Nelson.
01:11:31And now you can save Vale.
01:11:34I tried to warn you all.
01:11:36No one listened.
01:11:38Well, they're listening now.
01:11:39You deserve to be at Vale more than either of those two, and probably even more than me.
01:11:47It was a mistake to let you go.
01:11:50Months ago, I was fired from Vale Hospital with procedures still in development.
01:11:55They weren't ready.
01:11:57They needed supervision.
01:11:59Precision.
01:12:01Development.
01:12:01Instead, someone took my notes and tried to fast-track them for glory.
01:12:06Oh.
01:12:06You can't prove that.
01:12:08Security footage.
01:12:12Of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital.
01:12:17Already submitted to the board.
01:12:19I built on what he started.
01:12:23Okay?
01:12:24I didn't steal.
01:12:25I enhanced it.
01:12:27Then why were patients about to die?
01:12:29You falsified rollout readiness?
01:12:33He did more than that.
01:12:34He put lives at risk to prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program.
01:12:40We're going to need to open a formal investigation on this.
01:12:44This is absurd.
01:12:45This was supposed to be our night.
01:12:47Oh, it's your night.
01:12:49Just not the way you thought it'd be.
01:12:52You lied to me.
01:12:53I didn't lie.
01:12:55I simplified the truth.
01:12:57Simplify?
01:12:57You could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people.
01:13:02You nearly killed the president of the hospital.
01:13:05You passed up experimental procedures as launch ready.
01:13:08That's malpractice.
01:13:10They worked.
01:13:11Nelson's alive.
01:13:12Look, the patients, they're alive.
01:13:14Yeah, because of me.
01:13:16Those methods require sequential tensioning, breath control, special clamp techniques.
01:13:21Getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death.
01:13:24Wait, these really are your techniques?
01:13:26I tested them for years.
01:13:29It was never meant for mass rollout.
01:13:31Not without training.
01:13:33You're rewriting history?
01:13:35No, you tried to erase him from it.
01:13:38Adrian Marksman was the reason that Vale's program had a future.
01:13:42And without him, it won't.
01:13:44This is absurd.
01:13:46You're siding with this disgraced former resident?
01:13:50He's not disgraced, son.
01:13:52You are.
01:13:54You hijacked a program you didn't understand.
01:13:57And then when your ego wasn't enough, you propped up this fraud.
01:14:02Taking his side, dad?
01:14:06I'm your son.
01:14:07I'm taking the side of truth.
01:14:10And so will the board.
01:14:11We will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning.
01:14:15Until then, both of you are suspended from all surgical and administrative duties.
01:14:19Suspended?
01:14:20No, no, you can't do that.
01:14:22You don't understand the politics of running a hospital.
01:14:24We understand the liability.
01:14:26That's enough.
01:14:29Mr. Preston Vale, Dr. David Marksman, come with us.
01:14:34Dad, you're not going to have to drag me out like this.
01:14:37I'm your son.
01:14:38No, don't you touch me.
01:14:39You're not a child.
01:14:41Hey, dad.
01:14:42I'm a son of a bitch.
01:14:43I'm just kidding.
01:14:44Son of a bitch.
01:14:45Dad, I'm a son of a bitch.
01:14:45Dad, I'm a son of a bitch.
01:14:46You're not my responsibility.
01:14:58Adrian, please.
01:14:59I made a mistake.
01:15:00I see that now.
01:15:01I should have believed in you.
01:15:03I should have stood by you.
01:15:05You were right about everything.
01:15:10Just give me a second chance.
01:15:13Please.
01:15:14I still love you.
01:15:16Love, you traded him the second someone flashier walked by.
01:15:21You don't understand.
01:15:23I thought he was finished.
01:15:26I thought he had nothing left.
01:15:28So you sold him out.
01:15:30Mocked him.
01:15:31Over and over again.
01:15:33I was scared.
01:15:35I didn't know what to do.
01:15:37Oh, you knew.
01:15:38You just didn't care.
01:15:39Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser.
01:15:44Please.
01:15:46Say something.
01:15:49Anything.
01:15:50You had your chance, Fiona.
01:15:52And you spent it holding Preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive.
01:15:55You always belonged in my operating room.
01:16:07And I should have fought harder to keep you if I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes.
01:16:12The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board.
01:16:17And David will never go near another patient again.
01:16:22We're rebuilding.
01:16:23And I want you back as Vale's chief of experimental surgery.
01:16:30I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.
01:16:33You had your chance, too.
01:16:35I'm not the same man that you fired.
01:16:38Well, all the more reason we need you back at Vale.
01:16:42Adrian 2.0.
01:16:43I'm not coming back.
01:16:47You're choosing her?
01:16:49Our rival?
01:16:50You arrogant little ingrate.
01:16:53I open the door for you and you slam it in my face.
01:16:57Just typical.
01:16:59Just when you had your moment, you turned your back on it for, for what, her?
01:17:04She's just going to use you up and toss you aside like everyone else.
01:17:08Oh, projecting much, Nelson.
01:17:12Get me out of here.
01:17:13Now!
01:17:15Oh.
01:17:18Oh!
01:17:28Oh!
01:17:31Karma has good timing.
01:17:35Speaking of timing, we should get back to work.
01:17:39We have lives to save.
01:17:40Hey!
01:17:42Not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.
01:17:46I still owe you that extra special bonus.
01:17:52Now?
01:17:53Well, just in a time like the present.
01:17:54This is what victory tastes like.
01:18:05It's not bad.
01:18:07I need a second opinion.
01:18:08Yeah.
01:18:08Well, I've got all night, and you're not leaving this room until I've properly celebrated my genius surgeon.
01:18:18Should I be afraid of a performance review?
01:18:20You're already exceeding expectations.
01:18:22You're already exceeding expectations, but I am very thorough.
01:18:26Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me, besides meeting you, of course.
01:18:40I love you,зя.
01:18:52I love you.
