Short filmTranscript
00:00:00A catastrophic multi-vehicle collision rocked the city, sending a surge of critically injured patients
00:00:07flooding into Vail Hospital's emergency department.
00:00:10The fate of these accident victims now rests in the hands of Vail's surgical team,
00:00:15their last hope for survival in the face of devastating trauma.
00:00:19Facials crashing! We need an attending surgeon now!
00:00:23All the hours are full. We got three more criticals incoming.
00:00:26Sir, the patient trauma 3 is coding.
00:00:28Well, I can't leave this one. Where's Dr. Stevens?
00:00:30We need another attending surgeon. Everyone else is in the EOR.
00:00:50Need a hand?
00:00:52A new hire. You just started this month.
00:00:55Some junior surgeon fresh out of residency isn't ready for a level 1 trauma like this.
00:00:59Patient's pressure is dropping.
00:01:01Time to prove yourself, Dr. Marksman. Patient's yours.
00:01:04Okay, we are going to perform a modified whipple.
00:01:13Whipple? For trauma?
00:01:15That's insane.
00:01:17Trust me.
00:01:18Metz and bomb scissors.
00:01:21Dr. Rhodes, I need you to retract here.
00:01:25That procedure will take hours.
00:01:28The patient won't survive.
00:01:29Bovey Cottery.
00:01:33Watch.
00:01:33He's doing it in half the normal time.
00:01:42The bleeding.
00:01:43It's under control.
00:01:45But how did he...
00:01:47Silk suture.
00:01:54Parker, I want you to clamp exactly where I show you.
00:01:57I've never seen anything like this.
00:02:03I've never seen anything like this.
00:02:04Almost done.
00:02:05This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:11This patient's going to make a full recovery.
00:02:15Jesus, Adrian.
00:02:25What you just pulled off is impossible.
00:02:28I thought you were just some rookie surgeon, but that...
00:02:31That was the most incredible technique I've ever witnessed.
00:02:34Where did you learn to operate like that?
00:02:36What you just did will go down in the history books.
00:02:39Wait.
00:02:39I heard President Vail personally recruited a medical prodigy who revolutionized surgical procedures at Mass General.
00:02:46Is that you?
00:02:47Is that you?
00:02:54Final suture.
00:02:55Miss Vail's new pancreatic duct is anastomosed.
00:02:59Doctor.
00:03:00The nurses.
00:03:01They said you did it.
00:03:02And you...
00:03:03You actually did.
00:03:04Sir, you shouldn't be in here during an operation.
00:03:05Every surgeon on the west coast said it was inoperable.
00:03:06That she only had weeks to live.
00:03:07But...
00:03:08You...
00:03:09You saved my Catherine.
00:03:10She'll make a full recovery, President Vail.
00:03:11Name your price.
00:03:12What if you didn't do that?
00:03:13I don't know.
00:03:14I don't know.
00:03:15I don't know.
00:03:16I don't know.
00:03:17I don't know.
00:03:18I don't know.
00:03:19I don't know.
00:03:20I don't know.
00:03:21I don't know.
00:03:22I don't know.
00:03:23I don't know.
00:03:24I don't know.
00:03:25I don't know.
00:03:26I don't know.
00:03:27I don't know.
00:03:28Name your price.
00:03:29Whatever it is.
00:03:30We need you at Vail.
00:03:31My hospital.
00:03:35Look, I'll explain later.
00:03:36Right now we have three critical patients that need specialized procedures.
00:03:40It's gonna take hours.
00:03:41Y'all should go home.
00:03:43Get some rest.
00:03:44I'll take over from here.
00:03:46Okay.
00:03:48Good work, everyone.
00:03:58You're all stable.
00:03:59Every single one of them stabilized.
00:04:15Oh, sun's coming up.
00:04:16You must operate it all night.
00:04:17You're a machine.
00:04:18Well, that's why they pay me the big bucks.
00:04:20All right.
00:04:21It's time for some much-needed Shaddai.
00:04:22It's time for some much-needed Shaddai.
00:04:23It's time for some much-needed Shaddai.
00:04:27It's time for some much-needed Shaddai.
00:04:28It's time for some much-needed Shaddai.
00:04:42Hey, you.
00:04:57Hey, yourself.
00:05:02I've been operating all night.
00:05:05I see every single patient in that pileup.
00:05:08What I did was extraordinary.
00:05:11How do you always know exactly what I needed?
00:05:15Because I know you.
00:05:18Better than anyone.
00:05:24Blueberry.
00:05:26Your favorite.
00:05:27You remembered.
00:05:29Where's your dad?
00:05:30You know, I've been thinking lately.
00:05:32About us.
00:05:36I know it's only been a month, but...
00:05:39It just feels different.
00:05:49It's the third time this week.
00:05:50Hospital food's better than someone else's.
00:05:52Hmm.
00:05:53So who's this marksman guy?
00:05:55His surgical skills are unreal.
00:05:57Sure.
00:05:58I thought he was just another new hire.
00:06:00I had no idea he could handle complex traumas like that.
00:06:03With talent like this, you'd think that he'd be running his own department right now.
00:06:06What is this, a hospital or a nail salon?
00:06:16Last I checked, I'm not paying you doctors to sit around and gossip.
00:06:21Who is this guy?
00:06:24Preston Bale, Preston Bale's son, Harvard MBA.
00:06:29He's taking over as hospital administrator while his father takes care of his wife who just recovered from an experimental pancreatico duodenectomy.
00:06:36I'm sorry, am I looking at two board-certified surgeons or med school dropouts?
00:06:44Hard to tell based on your behavior.
00:06:46Sir, about last-
00:06:47Save it.
00:06:49Parker.
00:06:50You couldn't even manage a simple trauma rotation.
00:06:54You're fired.
00:06:55Clear out your office.
00:06:57New management means new standards.
00:07:00It's time to separate the real surgeons from the posers.
00:07:05Attention, need everybody's attention now.
00:07:08Now, if you expect to keep your obscenely overpaid jobs, every surgery must be perfect.
00:07:15No complications, no deaths.
00:07:18This second-rate medicine stops right now.
00:07:22Who does he think he is?
00:07:23Dr. House?
00:07:26What is this?
00:07:28Excellence in emergency medicine?
00:07:31Save your ego stroking for your own time.
00:07:35This is a hospital.
00:07:36We need surgeons, not trophy collectors.
00:07:41That was from my residency direction.
00:07:43Oh, cry me a river.
00:07:45Maybe if you spent a little bit more time on your patients and a little less time collecting gold stars, you'd be a real doctor.
00:07:52You're fired.
00:07:53Excuse me?
00:07:54Make sure she gets a souvenir from the gift shop just to show her how grateful we are for her time here.
00:07:59Yes, sir.
00:08:00Would you prefer a fountain pen or a snow globe?
00:08:04That was good.
00:08:05Let's go.
00:08:10Well, well, well.
00:08:12What do we have here?
00:08:14Sleeping after a shift?
00:08:17Rise and shine, superstar.
00:08:18Did I order a wake-up call?
00:08:23Did I order a wake-up call?
00:08:25No, you didn't.
00:08:27But here's one anyway.
00:08:28You are fired!
00:08:33Are you serious?
00:08:34You're firing me?
00:08:35Do you need me to draw your diagram, doctor?
00:08:38Well, no, but there must be some sort of mistake.
00:08:42Fiona, what's his position here?
00:08:44He's a new surgical resident, Mr. Vale.
00:08:50What's he make?
00:08:51700,000.
00:08:52That's standard for a trauma surgeon.
00:08:55700?
00:08:56Are you insane?
00:08:58You're giving resident money to a first-year who sleeps on the job?
00:09:01This hospital is being scammed!
00:09:04I just worked all night, okay?
00:09:05I'm just taking a nap.
00:09:06Oh, so now you're expecting overtime pay?
00:09:09I've seen lazy doctors, but this is criminal negligence.
00:09:13What were you thinking, hiring this fraud?
00:09:16Either you're as dumb as these hack surgeons,
00:09:18or this is some sort of insurance scam?
00:09:21Adrian and I might be sleeping together,
00:09:24but I can't let him drag me down.
00:09:26My career comes first.
00:09:28Boy, bye.
00:09:30There must be some clerical error.
00:09:32His credentials.
00:09:34Other residents make a fraction of that salary.
00:09:37Fiona?
00:09:39Dr. Marksman?
00:09:42You are F-I-R-E-D-
00:09:45Fired.
00:09:47Clear out your office.
00:09:49Clear out your locker.
00:09:51Or get the hell out of my hospital.
00:09:53This is a mistake, okay?
00:09:54You need to check the surgical lock.
00:09:55Oh, you don't get to wear that before.
00:10:04I see.
00:10:07Sir, Dr. Marksman is an amazing surgeon.
00:10:10You don't understand.
00:10:11He's the one who-
00:10:12Didn't I fire you two already?
00:10:14Beat it.
00:10:15Vale is still the number one hospital in the nation, okay?
00:10:17Don't make this worse for yourselves.
00:10:19I understand.
00:10:20Hospital politics.
00:10:21I know it's only been a month, but there is something real between us.

00:21:10denying it this is crazy you've all passed me off as some second-rate surgeon and when a complication
00:21:16occurs which happened in this hospital under your incompetent leadership you blame me the collective
00:21:25medical knowledge in this room isn't enough to fill a prescription pad if you were even half the
00:21:31surgeon that you claim to be you would still have a job i'm not going to stand here and debate medicine
00:21:37with you in front of mr veil security please detain him

00:22:22don't you realize that mr vale here can end your entire career with one phone call sir i strongly
00:22:29recommend that we make an example out of him after all he'll be a danger to his patients wherever he goes
00:22:34priston you can't let him walk away after this not after what he did to our patients
00:22:41i'm contacting the medical board right now as of this moment dr adrian marksman is blacklisted from
00:22:47vale hospital and every medical institute in the country plans in motion adrian do you know what
00:22:53that means it means that you will never practice medicine in this country again i have one question
00:23:01before i go does your father know you fired me my father's the one who asked me to fire you you dipshit
00:23:08you thought you were some brilliant surgical god didn't you security remove this criminal from
00:23:17hospital property immediately immediately yes doctor right away sir that's quite enough
00:23:34let him go dr marksman is about to accept the position as chief of surgical innovation
00:23:46at heart medical center i know you you're vivian heart the surgical upstar from that medical clinic
00:23:55across town that's dr vivian heart to you mr vale vivian i haven't seen you since the john hopkins
00:24:02symposium like four or five years ago what are you doing here well i'm here for the most innovative
00:24:08surgeon in the country of course wait are you seriously suggesting this negligent doctor has value
00:24:16he was sleeping during rounds is this how vale hospital discards its exceptional talent
00:24:23your father built this institution's reputation of medical excellence not petty politics
00:24:29dr hart with all due respect this is a conversation between medical directors someone in your position
00:24:36should recognize when to maintain silence dr hart i must inform you that dr marksman represents a
00:24:43serious liability he compromised patient safety and i don't believe i requested your medical opinion
00:24:49doctor marksman david marksman i have neither time nor interest in your assessment
00:24:57after he decided to go to sleep we had a critical surgical complication
00:25:03his negligence led to the problem his actions not only endangered patients it compromised my hospital's
00:25:09reputation are you really willing to defend someone who violates the hippocratic oath did you actually
00:25:16consult with your father before dismissing dr markston of course i consulted my father
00:25:24he's the one who specifically mentioned his dangerous surgical shortcuts and inflated reputation
00:25:29dangerous shortcuts is that what president vale really said his exact words were remove him at first
00:25:37opportunity president vale was the one that recruited me this makes absolutely no sense please adrian
00:25:43the president wouldn't personally recruit a mid-level surgeon like you those gala invitations were
00:25:49professional courtesy not genuine respect well if that's the way things work at vale i have nothing more
00:25:55to contribute to any of you dr marksman would you consider joining heart medical center as our chief of surgery
00:26:02well i have full department autonomy protected research time a surgical fellowship in your name and a seven
00:26:13figure salary package
00:26:43and cash dr marksman i want you to revolutionize our surgery program hopefully this shows you i mean what i say
00:26:55chief of surgery
00:27:02you're offering all this to a surgeon who can't even keep his eyes open on the job dr hart have you
00:27:11completely lost your medical judgment or are you on drugs this is absurd he was a mediocre surgeon
00:27:17here at vale and now you're positioning him to lead your entire surgical department
00:27:22medical board should review your hiring practices
00:27:29vivian i appreciate your confidence this isn't about money maybe there's something beyond
00:27:38professional opportunity that might interest you she's offering herself up to him she can't do that
00:27:44are you a doctor or a call girl at our medical center you will be given everything a surgeon of your
00:27:51caliber deserves including a boss that would do absolutely anything to recognize your value
00:27:58and i do mean anything dr marksman
00:28:03dr hart for the sake of your own reputation you you need to know that this hack you're so eagerly pursuing
00:28:09has a documented history of negligence my father confirmed it himself is that precisely what nelson
00:28:17bale told you his exact words negligence search what are those
00:28:26personal gifts from your father
00:28:30my fellowship offer my personal research lab my surgical team i'm leaving it all behind
00:28:37you can tell president veil that as of this moment dr marksman has permanently withdrawn
00:28:45from veil hospital and all of its affiliated institutions you know what spare us the theatrics
00:28:51adrian you never deserve those privileges in the first place the medical board is gonna see that justice is
00:28:57done oh your stupidity it's just astonishing you treat pioneering surgeons like disposable scalpels
00:29:08this man is a life-saving artist
00:29:14dr hart i understand there's some competition between your center and veil hospital
00:29:19yeah look i'll be real we're struggling to get out from under their shadow look i'd be happy to help you
00:29:25out with that take me on and i'll transform heart into the number one surgical institution in the country
00:29:33look at yourself adrian offering your skills to a struggling clinic how pathetically desperate
00:29:41a backstabbing bottom feeder like you has absolutely no right to judge a surgeon of his caliber
00:29:46how dare you talk to me like that your malpractice has caused catastrophic damage to my hospital's
00:29:54reputation as the responsible party i demand that you issue a formal apology to one of the major
00:30:01medical journals and with an explanation to every affected veil hospital patient
00:30:07refuse me and i will ensure that the medical board revokes your license permanently that accusation
00:30:13isn't just baseness it's absurd what exactly do you think you're gonna do about it you got no
00:30:20choice but to sign this confession oh stop threatening my chief surgeon if you insist on pursuing this
00:30:26vendetta have your attorney send a formal complaint to heart medical center we'll consider it nothing less
00:30:32than a declaration of total war if it's war you want i will obliterate your dime store clinic with
00:30:40everything that i've got let's go one more second and a cesspool is going to make me physically ill
00:30:56mr vale don't you waste another precious moment on those second-rate practitioners
00:31:02david you've proven your loyalty the chief of surgery position is yours effective immediately
00:31:08this is this is extraordinary i thank you i uh i i am honored beyond words don't forget about me
00:31:18preston don't worry babe you will be thoroughly compensated for your loyalty how exciting
00:31:29mr vale i swear on my medical oath that i will not disappoint you
00:31:33mr bale a commuter train derailed six critical patients incoming dr marksman or one now natural
00:31:41time to shine dr marksman shit i'm screwed adrian's surgical journal with all his proprietary
00:31:46techniques is still in my office if preston finds out i stole it and then couldn't even use it properly
00:31:53i implemented a groundbreaking surgical protocol that i invented myself these techniques are revolutionary i'll
00:32:01walk you through it in detail after the emergency it's impressive dr marksman you've obviously got your
00:32:07own methodology no need to bore me with the specifics i trust your brilliance keep up the good work
00:32:13dr marksman with you leading my surgical team i can focus on what really matters hospital expansion
00:32:19again sir i'm deeply honored
00:32:29behold vale hospital's new chief of surgery let's see how all these condescending clowns treat me now
00:32:40glad you're feeling better honey thank you yeah well sorry who's this
00:32:45nelson vale speaking president vale dr vivian hart here i am calling to let you know that as of this
00:32:56morning hart medical center has officially entered the experimental surgery arena revolutionary surgical
00:33:02procedures are vale hospital's domain are you absolutely certain you want to pick this fight
00:33:09this is merely a professional courtesy call not an invitation for debate now just
00:33:20just that conniving bitch plotting she knows adrian is our surgical secret weapon why would she
00:33:27deliberately provoke a medical war she has absolutely no chance of winning unless
00:33:38that's what's going to happen to be a doctor who's going to be a doctor who's going to be a doctor
00:33:42and we've got multiple traumas coming in just tell me you didn't fire dr marksman
00:33:46dad relax i fired the other one that incompetent slacker resident that you mentioned
00:33:52then explain to me why hart medical center believes they can suddenly challenge our surgical supremacy
00:33:59because i masterfully led vivian hart into a false sense of reality
00:34:04it's not way a mediocre doctor can revolutionize surgical procedures i convinced vivian that she's
00:34:11acquired surgical brilliance but in reality she's hired our disgraced discarded loser so you deliberately
00:34:18manipulated vivian she thinks she's hired genius behind vale hospital's groundbreaking procedures
00:34:25that's why she had the audacity to declare war on you impressive son you're finally showing
00:34:30some of the leadership qualities i've been waiting to see out of you i think you're ready to take
00:34:35complete control of our experimental surgical division dad this this is everything i've worked for
00:34:43thank you we'll get to work immediately we're going to expose heart medical center for the low-grade
00:34:51institution it truly is their humiliation will be quick and absolute i won't let you down
00:35:00darling surgical innovation is the future of vale preston only got his mba last year do you really
00:35:07think it's wise to entrust him with our most prestigious program i would never take a risk like this
00:35:13if preston was our only asset remember we have the ultimate surgical secret weapon you mean the surgeon
00:35:22that saved my life dr adrian marksman exactly and all i need to do is stay hands off and let him exercise
00:35:33his extraordinary talents as long as adrian is with vale hospital heart medical center has no chance of
00:35:42competing not only that vivian fell for preston's manipulation and hired that medical disaster
00:35:49dr david marksman what we have to do now is sit back and watch her would-be empire crumble
00:36:05so now that you've seen the surgical department
00:36:08what do you think what do you think it's not bad it's a small team but they're talented
00:36:15what you've built here it's impressive viv
00:36:21it's good to see you again after all these years adrian
00:36:24you too we need to expand it's too small for what i'm planning
00:36:30also i heard you weren't the only surgeon preston vale fired
00:36:41we have all the angles figured out don't you and i always find the best one
00:36:44i'm gonna start recruiting good the faster we rise the more rewarding this partnership becomes
00:37:12it's better be good mr vale you wanted to see me
00:37:25my father has granted me complete authority over our experimental surgical department
00:37:30given your new position as chief of surgery
00:37:34appointing you head of innovation mr vale i uh is there an issue with that
00:37:39no absolutely not the budget for innovation is astronomical and president vale has already
00:37:45handed control to his son if i oversee these procedures i could divert significant resources
00:37:51to my personal research mr vale you can trust me completely i am precisely the right man for the job
00:38:02preston we have a catastrophe on our hands two attending surgeons just submitted their
00:38:06resignation simultaneously the department can't possibly maintain its caseload what they both
00:38:10resigned at once what was their explanation they refused to disclose their reasons but there's
00:38:14talk they were recruited by a former veil physician along with the three other surgeons you fired before
00:38:20former physician adrian marksman this has his saboteur signature all over it
00:38:24president what's our contingency plan the surgical department is severely understaffed
00:38:29if any more surgeons leave patients will suffer hey everybody needs to remain calm
00:38:36you still have me i can rebuild this department ah yes with your stellar reputation we should be able
00:38:43to get the best of the best exactly so we lost some second-rate talent let him go
00:38:49i'll make some calls to cedar sinai and ucla good work marksman
00:39:01this is working out perfectly now i can install my own allies in key positions
00:39:05soon i'll control the entire hospital's medical direction
00:39:19it's an honor to meet you dr hart
00:39:38this is dr parker here he's a triple board certified search and soon he'll be the head of trauma surgery
00:39:44this is dr rose chen rose and thomas all consummate professionals my most trusted colleagues back at
00:39:53vale
00:39:56with this surgical team heart medical can revolutionize surgical care all across the country
00:40:03actually the whole world we're here to begin dr hart well welcome to heart medical center
00:40:09i am thrilled to have surgeons of your caliber joining us but i do need to be transparent we have
00:40:18got considerable ground to cover before we can truly challenge vale hospital's dominance
00:40:23have no fear dr hart with adrian leading our team we'll be three steps ahead of anything
00:40:28bail attempts yes but vale has already implemented adrian's breakthrough surgical procedure protocols
00:40:36yeah about that it's a preliminary version if they continue to develop this approach without modification
00:40:41then what a lot of deaths a lot of lawsuits a lot of patients could be harmed or worse these
00:40:49procedures weren't ready for widespread implementation without proper refinement those techniques require
00:40:54precise calibration and specialized training without that foundation we're talking about serious complications
00:41:02preventable harm our first priority has to be patient safety we need to perfect these procedures and then
00:41:09we can find a way to prevent vale from continuing with the flawed protocols exactly it's not about competition
00:41:15or pride it's about saving lives
00:41:20we're using our experience with the trial procedures i did at vale to develop next generation surgical techniques
00:41:27eliminating all the previous complications and inefficiencies
00:41:32even if vale hospital analyzes our fundamental approach and attempts to create something new
00:41:37we'll maintain our significant advantage and if they stubbornly continue with their flawed protocols
00:41:44rest assured their outcomes will deteriorate i don't wish it upon their patients that's for sure
00:41:50remember this moment in this battle for medical supremacy heart medical center
00:41:55will emerge victorious
00:42:04it's 3 a.m lost track of time again
00:42:13viv you surprised me looks like you could use a nice rub
00:42:20do you mind no
00:42:22you know i mean yeah will you give all your surgeons massages
00:42:29only the ones i really really like
00:42:37you really really like me adrian i've really really liked you since residency
00:42:43nothing's changed
00:42:44you were our most brilliant resident in the program i never imagined someone like you would like me
00:42:51there was never anyone else that got my attention
00:42:55only you
00:42:58but you were completely oblivious and then you just
00:43:01vanished from the program
00:43:03well i left to join the experimental surgical fellowship in switzerland
00:43:07i know
00:43:11your talent was extraordinary even then
00:43:14back then i made a promise to myself that we would work together again someday
00:43:19you know when i established heart medical center my first priority was recruiting you
00:43:25but that manipulative tyrant nelson vale had already secured your contracts with ridiculous incentives
00:43:33i understand now
00:43:43so should we pick up where we left off in residency
00:43:48you're the boss
00:43:50that's right

00:46:01you are completely worthless as surgeons
00:46:03dr marksman
00:46:05the experimental procedures we're trying to replicate here are extraordinarily intricate
00:46:10we need at least uh six months to properly master
00:46:13six months you have 72 hours and i expect hourly updates on my desk
00:46:19sir brushing these delicate procedures
00:46:22dramatically increases the possibility of potentially fatal complications

00:50:38If I was trying to impress you, you even know.
00:50:41Midnight meetings, long hours, this work ethic of yours, it's a little dangerous.
00:50:52That's what Belle used to say about me.
00:50:56Then they fired me.
00:51:00And they were fools.
00:51:03You've earned more than just respect here, Adrian.
00:51:07You know that, right?
00:51:13You trying to motivate me again?
00:51:15I don't try.
00:51:20I do.
00:51:23Well, don't work too late.
00:51:29You're no good to me, burnt out.
00:51:31The incompetence is staggering.
00:51:43Yeah, you too are in way over your heads.
00:51:46Do you really think that this is acceptable?
00:51:51I give you one simple task and you screw it up.
00:51:55How the hell did either of you even finish residency?
00:51:58Vail General Hospital is the gold standard and you two are just standing around like clueless little interns.
00:52:05If these surgical models aren't flawless by tomorrow, you're both gone.
00:52:09Is that clear?
00:52:10Is that clear?
00:52:11Yes, sir.
00:52:12This is the man I trusted to lead my surgical team?
00:52:16Go.
00:52:17Mr. Vail.
00:52:18What a surprise.
00:52:19Cut the bullshit marksman.
00:52:21Are we on schedule or not?
00:52:22Of course.
00:52:23We're just refining the final stages.
00:52:24Yeah, everything is under control.
00:52:26Good.
00:52:27There's a problem.
00:52:28I expect to hear it from you.
00:52:29No cover ups.
00:52:30Of course, sir.
00:52:31Mr. Vail.
00:52:32Mr. Vail.
00:52:33Not now.
00:52:34Go get me the latest performance reports.
00:52:35It looks like Preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here.
00:52:48Not now. Go get me the latest performance reports.
00:52:55It, uh, looks like Preston's growing a little cold on our lovely administrator here.
00:53:02Don't worry. When Preston makes me chief medical officer, I'm gonna need someone flexible in my corner.
00:53:09I respect the winning team, Dr. Marksman.
00:53:18Today, Vail Hospital officially launched its highly anticipated next-generation surgical program.
00:53:25This cutting-edge approach to surgical care is being closely watched by the medical industry,
00:53:31especially as Heart Medical's competing program was released on the same day.
00:53:36The question now is, who will define the future of surgery?
00:53:40Relax, Mr. Vail. Heart Medical doesn't stand a chance.
00:53:44I hope you're right.
00:53:46For your sake.
00:53:51Didn't you say that, uh, if the rollout went well, that you'd make me chief medical officer?
00:53:57It's not a success. Yet.
00:54:02Enjoy tonight's launch party.
00:54:04Because if our results don't outshine Heart Medical,
00:54:07it'll be the last thing you have to celebrate for a long time.
00:54:16Dr. Heart, we, uh, have a problem.
00:54:25Vail Hospital's new surgical program launches today.
00:54:28That soon?
00:54:29They're hosting a big celebration party tonight.
00:54:32It's a good thing we're ahead of.
00:54:38You're saying we're ready?
00:54:40Why would I lie?
00:54:41We've been tracking Vail's every move.
00:54:44Let him celebrate.
00:54:45It's just gonna backfire.
00:54:47How exactly does that work in our favor?
00:54:50Bib, do you remember what I told you when you first brought me here?
00:54:53Preston Vail's rushing this.
00:54:57He's desperate to beat us to the market.
00:54:59And?
00:54:59Their model's flawed.
00:55:01If they keep moving forward without realizing their structural failure and their approach,
00:55:06we won't have to lift a damn finger.
00:55:09And what about when it falls apart?
00:55:11Then Heart Medical takes over as the future of modern surgery.
00:55:13So you're saying that Vail Hospital has been refining the prototype surgical method that
00:55:19you designed?
00:55:20It's the only way they could have gotten this far this fast.
00:55:23They're using an early draft full of mistakes that I won't make again.
00:55:28They don't even realize the cracks in their foundation.
00:55:31That actually makes perfect sense.
00:55:35Which means we've already won.
00:55:38Well, this is a big day for us.
00:55:40We should celebrate.
00:55:41What do you have in mind?
00:55:43Drinks?
00:55:43Not quite.
00:55:45You and I are crashing the Vail launch party tonight.
00:55:48What?
00:55:49Why?
00:55:51Let me worry about that.
00:55:52In the meantime, ensure a smooth rollout, finish whatever procedures you need to,
00:55:57and meet me in the lobby at 8 p.m. sharp.
00:55:59Preston, we've been through so much together.
00:56:16I know where I'm headed in life and I know who I want by my side.
00:56:21Tonight, at this launch party, celebrating our groundbreaking surgical program.
00:56:27It's like the perfect moment to ask, will you marry me?
00:56:33It should be fun.
00:56:41Absolutely.
00:56:41You really know how to take care of your staff, Mr. Vale?
00:56:45Oh, stop it.
00:56:47Too bad you're taken.
00:56:48Yeah.
00:56:49Yeah, what a shame.
00:56:50Where the fuck is Fiona?
00:56:51I told her, meet me out here so we can go to this party together.
00:56:54Forget about her.
00:56:56She's just social climbing trash anyways.
00:56:58We'll show you a better time.
00:57:01Yeah.
00:57:04Now that's an offer I can't refuse.
00:57:05Let's go.
00:57:06Fiona who?
00:57:06Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:57:28The number you have dialed is unavailable.
00:57:36Please, try again later.
00:57:38Please, please.
00:57:40Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:57:44Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:57:48Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:57:53Oh, you ladies are crazy.
00:57:57It's 20 in one day.
00:58:03All clean, all stable.
00:58:06The experimental procedures are all working, Dr. Marksman.
00:58:09You did it.
00:58:11No, we didn't.
00:58:16Dr. Marksman, you have to get to Vale's launch party pronto.
00:58:19You're already late.
00:58:20I need a change there.
00:58:21You don't have time.
00:58:23Where's Vivian?
00:58:25Taking care of something.
00:58:27She said it's really important that you be there, and she'll meet you as soon as she can.
00:58:32Tonight, we celebrate the launch of Vale Hospital's revolutionary surgical program.
00:58:36What the fuck?
00:58:52What the fuck?
00:58:53You're my date and you're wasted.
00:58:55I'm sure you have plenty of other dates to accompany you.
00:58:58Yeah.
00:58:59God knows why I chose you, but I did.
00:59:01So if you want to keep your job and your status sober up for God's sakes.
00:59:05Did he just wander in from the janitor's lounge?
00:59:26It's giving orderly sheep.
00:59:32Maybe he's here to bust tables.
00:59:33What are you doing at our launch party?
00:59:37You weren't invited.
00:59:38You're so sure about that?
00:59:39I mean, look at you.
00:59:40This is a black tie.
00:59:42I mean, not that I'd expect you to know what that actually is.
00:59:44Oh, look who crawled in from the gutter.
00:59:50The failed surgeon.
00:59:51The fraud.
00:59:53The nobody.
00:59:55Show up to my party in dirty scrubs, Marksman?
00:59:58Thought I told the security to keep out the criminals and the low lives.
01:00:01Guess you need to fire them, too.
01:00:03Pardon me.
01:00:03I just came straight from surgery.
01:00:06Because some of us here are real surgeons.
01:00:08What are you trying to say?
01:00:10I'm saying that the failed surgeon, the fraud, the nobody, isn't me.
01:00:18I can't have him expose me in front of all these people.
01:00:23Got some nerve talking to my man Marksman like that.
01:00:26The genius like him leading our surgical team?
01:00:29You won't be able to get anywhere near our next party.
01:00:31Yeah, because it'll happen in prison.
01:00:33When you're all arrested for medical malpractice, criminal negligence, and identity theft.
01:00:41What are you talking about?
01:00:43Identity theft?
01:00:45Whose identity would we possibly be stealing?
01:00:47Yours?
01:00:49Let me give you a little bit of advice, Marksman.
01:00:51If you don't got it, you just act like you do.
01:00:54Speaking from experience.
01:00:57Look around you.
01:00:59This is the elite among the elite.
01:01:02The best of the best in the medical field.
01:01:04Just because you waltz in here and you're dirty, cheap scrubs, doesn't make you one of us.
01:01:09Good.
01:01:10I'm glad.
01:01:10Because you're all beneath me.
01:01:12Isn't that right, Dr. Marksman?
01:01:16That's enough.
01:01:16Guards!
01:01:18This former employee is threatening us.
01:01:21Kick him out.
01:01:23Touch me and you'll regret it.
01:01:26I'm here tonight with a very important guest.
01:01:30What are you dumbasses doing?
01:01:32Grab him!
01:01:32Christy!
01:01:33What the hell is this?
01:01:51Dad.
01:01:52Relax.
01:01:52I, uh...
01:01:53Relax?
01:01:53Relax?
01:01:54This twat came in uninvited.
01:01:57I was just kicking him out.
01:01:58Guards!
01:01:58Remove him immediately.
01:01:59President Vail, it truly is an honor to finally meet you.
01:02:02You get out of my way!
01:02:04Dad, what are you doing?
01:02:05This is Dr. Marksman, the genius surgeon that is leading our surgical...
01:02:09You are such a fool!
01:02:13Dad.
01:02:14What are you...
01:02:15What are you doing?
01:02:16Open your eyes, Preston.
01:02:18This man that you tried so hard to kick out, he is...
01:02:22Uh...
01:02:22You are a...
01:02:24Disgrace!
01:02:26Dad!
01:02:28My hospital meant something and...
01:02:30You turned it into a...
01:02:32Into a...
01:02:33Oh!
01:02:35Dad!
01:02:36Ah!
01:02:39Dad!
01:02:43President Vail.
01:02:44Fuck away from my dad!
01:02:46Are you out of your mind?
01:02:47He is the best surgeon in this room.
01:02:49Oh, yeah, like you give a shit about saving my dad.
01:02:51I'll die before I trust you two.
01:02:53Somebody get me a real doctor!
01:02:55David!
01:02:56David!
01:02:57Do so.
01:02:58It's cold.
01:03:02Can't think of what to do next?
01:03:05Blinking?
01:03:06Can't think of a diagnosis?
01:03:07Shut up!
01:03:08Why isn't Dr. Marksman doing anything?
01:03:11This is ridiculous!
01:03:12I thought this David guy was a genius.
01:03:15Why are you just standing there?
01:03:16Do something!
01:03:17Uh...
01:03:18What's the matter, David?
01:03:20If you need help, just ask.
01:03:23All you have to do is admit what you did.
01:03:25Right here.
01:03:26Right now.
01:03:27I can't blow my cover, but...
01:03:30What if I kill him?
01:03:32I don't know anything about surgeries.
01:03:35I don't even know what's wrong with them.
01:03:37I did medical school on Zoom.
01:03:39David.
01:03:40This is a matter of life and death.
01:03:43Let it go!
01:03:46I...
01:03:47I...
01:03:47I can't.
01:03:50I can't do this.
01:03:53Okay.
01:03:54I can't.
01:03:55I can't do this.
01:03:56I can't do this without my notebook.
01:04:03That's my surgical notebook.
01:04:05He stole it from me.
01:04:06Okay, okay.
01:04:15I'm gonna need a fork and a glass of water.
01:04:20Okay.
01:04:22I gotta, I gotta...
01:04:24Here, take it, take it, take it.
01:04:27Okay.
01:04:27All right, hold his head.
01:04:29But tilt it back and apply pressure here.
01:04:33Okay.
01:04:34Okay.
01:04:36Here you go.
01:04:44Okay.
01:04:46Okay.
01:04:47Great.
01:04:49Oh.
01:04:50Oh.
01:04:54Oh, thank God.
01:04:55How are you?
01:04:56What up?
01:05:01Oh.
01:05:02Oh, that's my guy.
01:05:05Surgical genius.
01:05:06Oh.
01:05:07That's how Val makes history.
01:05:09Somebody get this man a medal.
01:05:11Or at least a new department.
01:05:13If you still want that chief medical officer position, say the word.
01:05:17Now, do I have to have somebody escort you out?
01:05:22That maneuver.
01:05:23That notebook.
01:05:24It's mine.
01:05:25Then tell him.
01:05:26Then tell him.
01:05:30Where is he going?
01:05:32Maybe he's headed to develop another fake surgery program at another fake hospital.
01:05:37Leaving so soon, Dr. PJs?
01:05:39Say, hey, why don't you come back when you've actually saved a life?
01:05:42That procedure David used, I invented it.
01:05:50What kind of crack are you smoking?
01:05:52He's delusional.
01:05:54Somebody seriously check this guy's medical license.
01:05:57The notebook he used to save your father.
01:06:01That's mine.
01:06:02My handwriting.
01:06:03My theories.
01:06:04I'm just pissed because he did what you couldn't.
01:06:09I'm pissed because you used rudimentary theories as innovation.
01:06:13And when it fails, and it will, you're not the ones that'll pay for it.
01:06:20The patients will.
01:06:21You can't prove that.
01:06:23Not yet.
01:06:25But you can't fake medicine.
01:06:28Medicine and science.
01:06:30Always tell the truth.
01:06:34Our three's vitals just dropped.
01:06:36We've got uncontrolled bleeding.
01:06:37Second patient today.
01:06:38Same issue.
01:06:39Vessel ligation failed mid-operation.
01:06:42These techniques aren't viable.
01:06:44The veil method doesn't hold under stress.
01:06:47I mean, come on.
01:06:48Tonight proves it.
01:06:49We're ahead of every surgical institute.
01:06:51We're in the country.
01:07:00I'll be right back.
01:07:02Just coordinating with the team.
01:07:06Talk to me.
01:07:07The vascular bundle clamp maneuver failed again.
01:07:10This is the second patient bleeding out tonight.
01:07:14Use the compression step.
01:07:16That only works in control scenarios.
01:07:19We told you these procedures weren't fully tested.
01:07:22Look, just follow the notes.
01:07:27I designed those techniques for 101 guidance.
01:07:30Not mass implementation.
01:07:31Not mass implementation.
01:07:32Without calibration.
01:07:34It's unstable.
01:07:36It's dangerous.
01:07:37They tried to commercialize your success without you.
01:07:40Now people are paying for it.
01:07:41All good?
01:07:45Of course.
01:07:46Just routine coordination.
01:07:47Routine coordination doesn't usually include blood loss.
01:07:51Your surgical program is failing.
01:07:53And patients are suffering.
01:07:55You've been out of the field for months.
01:07:57You wouldn't know?
01:07:58Yeah, I would know.
01:07:59Because the procedures that you're butchering, I invented.
01:08:03And I'm the only one in this room who can fix the mess that you made in your surgical wing.
01:08:08Oh, shit.
01:08:08Oh, yes.
01:08:15This is Dr. Marksman.
01:08:16Yeah, connect me with the surgical coordinator immediately.
01:08:19Okay, listen very carefully.
01:08:23Your patient in OR3 is experiencing a catastrophic hemorrhaging because the vascular bundle clamp technique was improperly executed.
01:08:31No, 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.
01:08:46Yes.
01:08:48Yes.
01:08:51How do we even know he made a phone call?
01:08:54His whole thing is performance, a charade.
01:08:57You stole his methods.
01:08:58This entire launch party is built upon stolen work and guesswork.
01:09:04Uh, that's a lie.
01:09:05Then prove me wrong.
01:09:07Show them all a technique that I didn't create.
01:09:12Why would we believe anything he says?
01:09:14He was fired.
01:09:15Humiliated.
01:09:16You're right, I was fired.
01:09:18And the same procedures I pioneered were renamed and sold back to the board as revolutionary.
01:09:24You know what?
01:09:25This is pathetic.
01:09:26He's just jealous.
01:09:27He missed his shot.
01:09:29Is that what you told yourself?
01:09:30When you snuck back into my office and stole my surgical journal?
01:09:34Even if that were true, this isn't the time or the place.
01:09:38I think it's exactly the time and place.
01:09:41I just got off the phone with our surgical coordinator.
01:09:55And thanks to Adrian's guidance, our surgeons were able to stabilize the coding patients.
01:10:02Adrian just cleaned up your mess.
01:10:05You took this good man's techniques that weren't ready, and you fired him.
01:10:11The one person who could make them safe.
01:10:15Dad, you don't see the full picture here.
01:10:18Oh, I'm seeing it perfectly well.
01:10:20This hospital was built on trust and integrity, and you've disgraced them both.
01:10:26Your father nearly died because of your ego, because of his lies.
01:10:33You saved me.
01:10:35You saved Nelson.
01:10:37And now you can save Vale.
01:10:40I tried to warn you all.
01:10:42No one listened.
01:10:43They're listening now.
01:10:45You deserve to be at Vale more than either of those two, and probably even more than me.
01:10:52It was a mistake to let you go.
01:10:56Months ago, I was fired from Vale Hospital with procedures still in development.
01:11:01They weren't ready.
01:11:02They needed supervision.
01:11:05Precision.
01:11:06Development.
01:11:07Instead, someone took my notes and tried to fast-track them for glory.
01:11:11Oh, you can't prove that.
01:11:14Security footage.
01:11:18Of you stealing Adrian's notebook from the hospital.
01:11:22Already submitted to the board.
01:11:25I built on what he started.
01:11:28Okay?
01:11:29I didn't steal.
01:11:30I enhanced it.
01:11:32Then why were patients about to die?
01:11:35You falsified rollout readiness?
01:11:38He did more than that.
01:11:40He put lives at risk to prove that he was smarter than the guy that actually created the program.
01:11:46We're going to need to open a formal investigation on this.
01:11:49This is absurd.
01:11:50This was supposed to be our night.
01:11:53Oh, it's your night.
01:11:55Just not the way you thought it'd be.
01:11:58You lied to me.
01:11:59I didn't lie.
01:12:00I simplified the truth.
01:12:03Simplify?
01:12:03You could have caused serious harm to countless innocent people.
01:12:08You nearly killed the president of the hospital.
01:12:10You passed up experimental procedures as launch-ready.
01:12:14That's malpractice.
01:12:15They worked.
01:12:17Nelson's alive.
01:12:18Look, the patients, they're alive.
01:12:20Yeah, because of me.
01:12:22Those methods require sequential tensioning, breath control, special clamp techniques.
01:12:27Getting one beat wrong is the difference between life and death.
01:12:29Wait, these really are your techniques.
01:12:32I tested them for years.
01:12:34It was never meant for mass rollout.
01:12:37Not without training.
01:12:39You're rewriting history?
01:12:41No, you tried to erase him from it.
01:12:44Adrian Marksman was the reason that Vale's program had a future.
01:12:47And without him, it won't.
01:12:51This is absurd!
01:12:52You're siding with this disgraced former resident?
01:12:55He's not disgraced, son.
01:12:57You are.
01:12:59You hijacked a program you didn't understand.
01:13:02And then when your ego wasn't enough, you propped up this fraud.
01:13:09Taking his side, Dad?
01:13:12I'm your son.
01:13:13I'm taking the side of truth.
01:13:15And so will the board.
01:13:17We will be convening an emergency session tomorrow morning.
01:13:20Until then, both of you are suspended from all surgical and administrative duties.
01:13:25Suspended?
01:13:26No, no, you can't do that.
01:13:27You don't understand the politics of running a hospital.
01:13:30We understand the liability.
01:13:32That's enough.
01:13:34Mr. Preston Vale, Dr. David Marksman, come with us.
01:13:40Dad, you're not going to often drag me out like this.
01:13:43I'm your son.
01:13:43No, don't you touch me.
01:13:45You're not a child.
01:13:46Hey, Dad!
01:13:47I'm your son.
01:13:48I'm your son.
01:13:48I'm your son.
01:13:49I'm your son.
01:13:50Son of a...
01:13:50Dad!
01:13:51Do something.
01:13:52Get off me.
01:13:52I'm your son.
01:13:53I'm your son.
01:13:53I'm your son.
01:13:54I'm a child.
01:13:55You're not my responsibility.
01:14:03Trim, please.
01:14:05I made a mistake.
01:14:06I see that now.
01:14:07I should have believed in you.
01:14:08I should have stood by you.
01:14:10I should have stood by you.
01:14:11You were right about everything.
01:14:16Just give me a second chance.
01:14:18Please.
01:14:20I still love you.
01:14:23Love?
01:14:24You traded him the second someone flashier walked by.
01:14:27You don't understand.
01:14:29I thought he was finished.
01:14:31I thought he had nothing left.
01:14:34So you sold him out.
01:14:36Mocked him.
01:14:37Over and over again.
01:14:39I was scared.
01:14:40I...
01:14:41I didn't know what to do.
01:14:43Oh, you knew.
01:14:44You just didn't care.
01:14:46Not until you realized that the horse you bet on turned out to be a loser.
01:14:50Please.
01:14:52Say something.
01:14:54Anything.
01:14:55You had your chance, Fiona.
01:14:57And you spent it holding Preston's arm while they tried to bury me alive.
01:15:08You always belonged in my operating room.
01:15:13And I should have fought harder to keep you if I'd only known what was going on behind the scenes.
01:15:19The board will vote that Preston is removed from the board.
01:15:23And David will never go near another patient again.
01:15:27We're rebuilding.
01:15:29And I want you back as Vale's chief of experimental surgery.
01:15:36I'm sorry, Dr. Vale.
01:15:39You had your chance, too.
01:15:41I'm not the same man that you fired.
01:15:44Well, all the more reason we need you back at Vale.
01:15:48Adrian 2.0.
01:15:49I'm not coming back.
01:15:50You're choosing her?
01:15:55Our rival?
01:15:56You arrogant little ingrate.
01:15:59I open the door for you and you slam it in my face.
01:16:03Just typical.
01:16:05Just when you had your moment, you turned your back on it for, for what, her?
01:16:09She's just going to use you up and toss you aside like everyone else.
01:16:14Oh, projecting much, Nelson.
01:16:18Get me out of here.
01:16:20Now!
01:16:20Karma has good timing.
01:16:41Speaking of timing, we should get back to work.
01:16:45We have lives to save.
01:16:46Hey, not so fast, Mr. Hotshot Genius Surgeon.
01:16:53I still owe you that extra special bonus.
01:16:58Now?
01:16:59We'll just spend a time like the present.
01:17:08This is what victory tastes like.
01:17:11It's not bad.
01:17:13I need a second opinion.
01:17:14Well, I've got all night.
01:17:19And you're not leaving this room until I've properly celebrated my genius surgeon.
01:17:24Should I be afraid of a performance review?
01:17:27You're already exceeding expectations.
01:17:31But I am very thorough.
01:17:32Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.
01:17:44Besides meeting you, of course.
01:17:46That's for the most part.
